functional brain or with one, if i'm trump i want the guy without the functional brain. he is not getting better over the next four months. he will get worse. he will have stumbles literal and physical in terms of the way he will be speaking and interacting. i don't see any way he will appeal to independents or win the battleground states. if everybody shows up and vote and all of you should do that i think trump will win and may win comfortably on election night. >> brian: check out outkick.com and clay and buck radio show is streaming on fox nation. coming up in five minutes i will talk one-on-one with the former president of the united states for 29 straight minutes. we'll talk about all these things and more and find out how he feels about nancy pelosi's comments. go to our app, click on the headsets or watch and click over and see us. see you. >> bill: good morning. disarray is deepening by the day for democrats apparently.
6:01 am
more divided on president biden. live in new york summer gear on today. bill hemmer live. >> dana: summer now? >> bill: it feels like it. it will be flying by. >> dana: i have the fox weather app. i'm dana perino, this is "america's newsroom." the nancy pelosi news is interesting and calls herself a speaker emeritus. a growing number of democrats are calling on the president to step aside or predict he will lose in november and evidence to back it up. former speaker nancy pelosi was asked about that and not a vote of confidence. >> as long as the president has -- it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. the -- i think overwhelming support of the caucus, it's not
6:02 am
for me to say, i'm not the head of the caucus anymore. he is beloved, he is respected, and people want him to make that decision. not me. >> he has said he made the decision, firmly this week he is going to run. do you want him to run? >> i want him to do whatever he decides to do. and that's the way it is. whatever he decides we go with. >> dana: former president trump is reveling in the turmoil and what he said last night in florida. >> the radical left democrat party is divided in chaos and having a full scale breakdown all because they can't decide which of the candidates is more unfit to be president. we're so absolute that joe's own party wants him to throw in the towel and surrender the presidency after a single 90-minute performance. they want crooked joe out of the
6:03 am
race. >> bill: that from florida last night. the story develops by the hour truly. aishah hosni reports on the hill. senior white house correspondent jacque heinrich at the convention center where a nato event will begin in moments. let's start with you, jacque. good morning. >> good morning, bill. president biden broadly dismisses the hand wringing from rank and file lawmakers, but if democratic leadership were to line up in front of him and demand he drop from this race he has not vowed to defy them and push forward. the trouble is for those who want him out, there is no consensus on who instead should lead the ticket. and in the absence of that kind of plan democratic leadership is with biden and telling their members to put this whole discussion on hold at least while he is hosting 31 foreign leaders for the nato summit. >> let him deal with this nato conference. this is a very big deal. let's just hold off. whatever you are thinking,
6:04 am
either tell somebody privately but you don't have to put it out on the table until we see how we go this week. >> it's not just lawmakers who are spotlighting their concerns about the president's age. the "wall street journal" reports german officials aware of biden's fatigue at night sought to accommodate the president by planning a june 2022 event with german chancellor schultz in the early evening. biden didn't show surprising the chancellor and his aides. secretary of state antony blinken arrived and announced biden had gone to bed according to two people who were there. the state department denied that blinken said anything of that sort. since the debate the president has fallen short in his efforts to convince people he was just having a bad night. george stephanopolous saying this just yesterday. >> do you think biden should step down? you talk to him more than anybody else lately and you can be honest. >> tomorrow the president has
6:05 am
another shot at convincing people in his first solo press conference since last november, bill. >> bill: the white house doing more cleanup now after the president's meeting with a neurologist. what was said and what is being said now? >> pretty stunning. the white house yesterday insisted that none of the eight visits by the parkinson's specialist dr. cannard made over eight months had anything to do with the president's care. late last night they admitted a january 17th meeting had to do with biden. they said it was for a neurological exam he had as part of his annual physical which was not reported until a month later. the press secretary released this statement. because the date wasn't mentioned in the question the january 17th meeting between dr. o'connor and cannard was for the president's physical. one of three times the president has seen dr. cannard, each time
6:06 am
for his physical. the findings from each exam have been released to the public. the white house physician also released a letter after monday's press briefing when the press secretary refused to discuss any of cannard's visit citing security reasons. the second cleanup in as many days. >> bill: jacque, thank you. we'll watch every movement there. jacque heinrich in d.c. >> donald trump is on track, i think, to win this election. maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the senate and the house and so for me this isn't a question of polling, not a question about politics, it is a moral question about the future of our country and i think it is critically important for us to come to grips with what we face if together we put this country on the path of electing donald trump again. >> dana: president biden's dam slowly breaking amongst members of his own party. lawmakers more divided after the
6:07 am
meeting on the hill yesterday. aishah hosni has more. i'm sure the halls are abuzz. >> good morning, dana. we were expecting this to happen as the days went on and the more people started to see each other face-to-face and talk to each other. this is a big deal. the first sitting senator to ask the president to step aside. we know that brown and tester privately feel like the president has an uphill battle as well but haven't publicly asked him to step aside. here is what senator brown from ohio told our camera yesterday. watch. >> i'm hearing discussions and legitimate questions about the president and i continue to listen and my job is -- >> should he step down in your opinion? >> i've said what i'll say. >> no consensus. yesterday another moderate
6:08 am
called on biden to go. still no consensus on the president's future after a two-hour long private caucus meeting which party leaders said was really never the goal. >> you know, our caucus meeting today was about listening to members. there was no instruction to get on the same page. right now president biden is the nominee and we support the democratic nominee. >> i don't know if you caught that there, dana. he said right now the president is the nominee, as if that might change sometime in the future. by the way, you might remember a man named dean phillips, congressman who tried to primary the president and got lambasted by his own party for doing so. he told our reporters yesterday that democrats are now coming up to him and privately apologizing. dana. >> dana: he is on a quiet told you so lap. thank you, josh holmes is here. so much to talk about. can i ask you about nancy
6:09 am
pelosi's decision? she booked herself on president biden's favorite morning show. she says that she wants him to do what he wants to do. i said to bill that's when your mom says i trust you will do the right thing. you know what she wants you to do. you know the hill and those dynamics very well and interesting because she is speaking whereas hakeem jeffries, who is now the leader of the democrats on the house side, has not said anything. but she to me was giving members of her party on the house side the permission to go forward and say what they really believe. let's get your take. >> no question about it, dana. i think that's exactly what she is doing there. i think you have to start with the reality that there is nobody who knows joe biden more than nancy pelosi and presumably members of that conference. they've known his physical condition for quite some time. their concern has only arisen when the rest of the country has been let in on their little
6:10 am
secret two weeks ago. now it's a political problem. most of this concern they could care less if they are winning an election but when they are trailing donald trump now it's a problem. the problem is they didn't have a plan b even from the very beginning their plan was to try to convict and elevate donald trump in a court of law, market that conviction and never have a conversation about joe biden's fitness for office at all. now that that plan has slid sideways, it's not great for democrats. >> bill: you know when the late night folks turn against you something is moving, right? something is moving beneath your feet. some humor with john stewart from monday night. >> the debate was a shocking display of cognitive difficulty. biden's performance and ability to inarticulate. i couldn't believe what i was watching. he had been home for almost two weeks. he was jet lagged? how big is that jet? the point is for a campaign
6:11 am
based on honesty and decency, the spin about the debate appears to be blatant [bleep]. >> bill: pete aguilar is a democrat from california. a lot of people are thinking this. let's see the press conferences and campaign stops and see all this. all of it is going to be necessary. that gets to the point of wait and see and see how he does. >> i mean, i don't know what we're waiting to see here at all, bill. this has been evident for quite some time where joe biden is. i get a kick out of the democrats well, he just needs to be more aggressive and get out there more. it sort of exacerbates the problem. they act as though all of us in america have not experienced the aging process. like we don't have parents or grand parents, like we haven't watched what this process looks like.
6:12 am
somehow he will snap out of it and be a 1985 version of joe biden. he is not going to be. there is nothing to watch. i think their problem is their alternatives. if you throw kamala harris into the mix as number two is now a nominee, one, she starts without the infrastructure but i don't think there is good evidence she polls better than an infirm joe biden at least in the states that matter when you talk about michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia, nevada, arizona. there is 0 evidence to suggest it is a better alternative. they're stuck and not sure what to do and why you see this thing playing out in the media, which is nothing short of a black swan event when you have "the new york times," "washington post" and others talking about the problems that lie within the democratic party. >> bill: that quote goes to if he makes another mistake that's a pile on. >> dana: it's unsustainable. are we supposed to watch every word for him to have a slip-up when the answer is michael
6:13 am
bennett is speaking for a lot of people. not easy. you don't want to disrespect the president or your party but he is like he will lose and he said it is a moral choice about the future of the country and party because he is concerned that president biden might not even have what it takes to be president right now. derek thompson wrote this. the main difference between where i am and where biden defenders are, i've become confident that biden's age, not trump, not project 2025, not january 6th, biden's age is the centerpiece of this election. profoundly losing issue and not a solvable problem. so if the democrats know that they are heading down a path where they will fall off the cliff, do they make a decision to try to avert that disaster? >> i think they are trying, dana, i really think. listen to all the quotes. what's underlying everything from michael bennett. he is a brave maneuver for a member of your party with an
6:14 am
incumbent president to say he is not our best stuff. if you listen to even what michael bennett said. not about his fitness for office but the political prospects. he said in the interview two or three times we'll lose the senate and the house and lose. underlying all this concern is we may not have a job next november, right? so that's why i think a lot of american people are concerned about this. it looks cynical. all of these people were willing to keep it hidden to the rug when you were let in on the joke and now that you know about it we have a political problem and let's deal with it. >> bill: we'll talk soon. >> dana: see you in milwaukee. >> bill: president trump issued another challenge last night. he wants to have another debate with joe biden and do it without moderators. let's do it on fox, right? that wasn't the only competition he proposed as well as doral. >> i'm also officially challenging crooked joe to an 18-hole golf match right here
6:15 am
and i will even give joe biden ten strokes a side, ten strokes. that's a lot. that means 20 strokes in case you don't play golf. i will give him ten strokes a side. if he wins i will give the charity of his choice, any charity that he wants, $1 million. >> bill: biden campaign quickly with a statement saying joe biden doesn't have time for donald trump's weird antics. he is busy leading america and defending the free world. only out for himself. par for the course, end quote. >> dana: when i read the statement from the campaign i was like they are clever and the young people working on the campaign are good at what they do. their boss can't articulate that. you can't have biden and trump going one for one against each other. if trump is going to go after and you have a campaign staffer, it doesn't -- goes right past. >> bill: like this tweet from march 30th. donald, my offer to play golf --
6:16 am
i guarantee joe biden didn't write that tweet. he did play golf for a long time in his life. you don't phrase it that way. everyone knows that. we know that from reading sports every day. dana marie. >> dana: we'll see josh holmes in milwaukee. "america's newsroom" will be live from the rnc in milwaukee, it starts on sunday. bringing you live coverage what is sure to be a historic week in milwaukee. hope you'll join us sunday at noon eastern. >> bill: a lot of news in d.c. antony blinken speaking at the nato summit in d.c. watch the language that comes out of this meeting and see what package they get together for defense for ukraine. house intel committee chair michael turner is here on that coming up. plus this. >> are you on the same page? >> no. >> what do you mean you aren't on the same page? >> i'm not even in the same book. >> democrats in disarray.
6:17 am
lawmakers emerging from the meeting more divided on president biden's future. steve cowen was in the discussion and we'll talk to him in a moment. >> bill: awaiting opening statements in the alec baldwin trial in sante fe, new mexico. it will be televised. what we're learning now about the seated jury. your investmento and your retirement money? the smart investor has their money in a guaranteed product that goes up with the market. their gains lock in, and when the market goes down, they don't lose money. forward with their money, never backward. and we do it for our clients every day. if you have at least $100,000 to invest, get your investor's guide and see if it's right for you. hi, i'm sally. i'm from phoenix, arizona. i'm a flight nurse on a helicopter that specializes in trauma. i've been doing flight nursing for 24 years.

6:22 am
>> bill: moments ago this was the class picture of u.s. senators, bipartisan senators meeting with the new u.k. prime minister on his first trip to the u.s. as the prime minister. mitch mcconnell. chuck schumer front and center. stoltenberg, the nato leader who was given quite a distinguished medal from yesterday and the u.s. president. that's happening right now.
6:23 am
front and center the conversation in d.c. is about ukraine and russia. we'll bring you updates as they come into "america's newsroom." all right. dana. >> dana: a live look at secretary antony blinken delivers his opening remarks at nato's public forum. the u.s. is hosting summits in d.c. this week. president biden is facing extra scrutiny over his ability to lead. >> president biden: this moment in history calls for our collective strength. who would have thought nato would break? today nato is stronger than it's ever been in its history. when the senseless war began ukraine was the free country. today it is still a free country and the war will end with ukraine remaining a free and independent country. >> dana: mike turner chairman of the house intelligence committee. so much substance there of what's going on in the war, what's happening with the weapons we have and how russia is adapting.
6:24 am
listen to this exchange between bret baier and admiral kirby yesterday. >> does he really think he shut vladimir putin down? >> he has certainly held mr. putin and russia accountable what they tried to do to ukraine. >> you can see he didn't shut vladimir putin down. >> ukraine is still an independent sovereign country. that's because of our leadership. >> dana: that interview was the day after putin shelled a children's hospital in kiev, sir. >> ronald reagan institute last night where president zelenskyy with bret baier delivered an address outlining what he believed was the greatest current threat in the russian aggression to ukraine. and he identified it is the restrictions that the biden administration has placed on his country with the use of weapons and ability to prosecute the war and ability to defend themselves rather than a weapons systems or strategy or capability that russia has. he is calling on the biden
6:25 am
administration as has nato for restrictions to be released. it is a math problem. russia sends thousands of missiles into ukraine. you can't provide them enough air defense. they need to hit valid military targets in russia. they are prevented from doing so by the biden administration. >> dana: when peter doocy pressed karine jean-pierre about who exactly is making decisions at the white house, if you have white house staffers telling reporters that the president is not dependably engaged except for the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. watch. >> well, he also said he is sharpest before 8:00 p.m. so say the pentagon picks up an incoming nuke. it's 11:00 p.m. who do you call, the first lady? >> he has a team that lets him know of any -- of any news that is pertinent and important to the american people. he has someone or that is
6:26 am
decided with his national security council on who gets to tell him that news. >> dana: there have been reports his son, hunter biden is there. she says he doesn't get classified information. there is concern here that it's disturbing to learn these events are transpiring. what do you hope to learn from the white house if they respond? >> as the leading democrats struggling whether or not president biden can go for the next four years, many are worried whether or not he can go the next four days. he is turning to hunter to join him in what are very, very important meetings at the white house. there are concerns as to the access that biden -- hunter biden is being given to classified information. what decision making he might be affecting. the real concern here is that who is in charge at the white house? it doesn't seem as if someone is behind the magic person controlling the white house. it seems like they have dissolved into a committee and if they have an inability to come to an conclusion is made no
6:27 am
decision is made. pleading with the white house to decisions. they dissolve into new decisions that hurts the country. >> dana: the press secretary says hunter biden doesn't have access to classified information. >> as he is sitting in the oval office and no one is going to have control where the conversation goes and where the important issues go. i think the president and white house needs to firmly state that hunter biden is not going to be attending these meetings. not going to be helping the president govern. the president should not be turning to hunter biden. >> dana: thanks for joining us this morning. >> bill: we said there would be headlines and already there are. secretary of state antony blinken in washington said a moment ago that f-16 fighter jets are en route from denmark to ukraine as we speak. he also says they will be flying in the skies of ukraine this summer. that's july and august, right? we'll have a quote incredibly
6:28 am
robust package unveiled over the next couple of days for ukraine and that will build a clear, strong, robust and well-lit bridge to nato membership for ukraine. think about how vladimir putin interprets the last thing i just said. a well-lit bridge to nato membership for ukraine. that means ukraine, if it goes the way blinken is describing, will be the new front line between modern-day russia and eastern europe headed up by nato. that's where the new world will now form itself based on that description. we'll watch it, 27 past. washington, d.c. we roll now. the crime crisis can touch about anyone. ask sotomayor about that. a man who tried to carjack a car that belonged to a member of her security detail right outside her home. plus the flash flooding continues. this is new mexico. it practically destroyed this village, dana. the summer heat continues everywhere, tornadoes hit the

>> dana: a tornado that struck indiana as the represent nantz of beryl tears through the midwest. the twister touched down in mount vernon causing major damage and power outages. in the west flash flooding in new mexico. that town is still recovering from two wildfires two weeks ago. you can imagine why you have this situation. the scorched earth made the soil unable to absorb the water during the heavy rains. we'll keep an eye on it. >> despite all the democrat panic this week, the truth is it doesn't matter who they nominate. we will beat any one of them in thundering landslides. this november will be amazing. >> bill: that from doral in southern florida last night with donald trump. this from the cook political
6:35 am
report that made significant moves in some battleground states. show you what they've done here. the shift for cook, all right? arizona went from a toss-up to lean republican. state of georgia went from a toss-up to lean republican. nevada toss-up to lean republican. arizona 11 electoral votes, georgia 16, nevada six. 33 electoral votes among those three states right there. we'll watch how it goes over the next four months. one electoral vote in omaha, nebraska, that's one of them. one electoral vote in nevada went from likely democrat for lean democrat. same for michigan and minnesota. the fox polling that we have done in specific states. arizona going back to the first week of june we have donald trump at 51%. any time you get a one-on-one competition and candidate gets to 50 it is a very good sign for
6:36 am
that candidate. trump is at 51 in june in arizona. this is georgia now back in mid april. our polling at fox we again had trump at 51% in the state of georgia. wasn't just this one poll in georgia. going back a couple months prior he was at 50 plus as well. this whole path to 270 now is going to change. it will be altered and we'll fill it in and get the best polling possible to give us the best gauge where the race stands right now. everything in gray is considered a toss-up. it could change, biden at 215 we believe that's solid as of now. trump at 219 we believe that is solid as of now. for more i want to bring in the host of the bottom line, sean duffy from fox business and former obama state department spokesperson marie harf. welcome. dave wasserman from the cook political report said the notion that the presidential race is a toss-up was a stretch even before the debate. today trump has a clear
6:37 am
advantage over biden and a much more plausible path to 270 electoral votes. you work with seth mouleton on one of his campaigns and one of the first to say joe biden should get out. do you agree with that? >> well, bill, i think why so many of us democrats right now are concerned and are pushing for joe biden to take a serious look as this campaign. his campaign since the debate has said it didn't change the state of the race. look at the polling, look at the polling. it is still a toss-up. what's so concerning about some of the polling you just mentioned, including from fox and cook political report. the polls are moving against joe biden. the campaign has spent a lot of time attacking democratic lawmakers like my former boss and pundits like myself people out there asking questions, instead of spending that time trying to figure out how to turn the campaign around.
6:38 am
there is a lot of frustration that they are trying to turn the page and say we aren't having this conversation about the debate anymore. the problem, bill, voters are having that conversation. not just pundits or members of congress. and i am incredibly concerned the biden team doesn't have a plan to turn this campaign around. that we are going to lose in november and that they are missing concerns that voters have across this country about whether president biden can win and govern for another four years. they aren't taking this as seriously as they should. >> bill: what do you think? >> i think the american people want bold leadership on the economy, border, foreign policy. if you get it wrong, change course, go in a new direction. with your candidate they want bold leadership not marie say turn the page and let's have a conversation, say no, you saw democrats what we saw as americans. joe biden can't do the job. let's go with somebody else. the problem, too, democrats and
6:39 am
left wing media have been lying to us about joe biden's state of cognitive abilities for the last 3 1/2 years. we see the lie and we're sick of being lied to whether on covid or on russia collusion or now on this. the american people want you to level with them. want you to fight to make their lives better. democrats aren't doing that and the fear is it's not just joe biden. democrats could lose 20 or 30 seats in the house. they could lose three, four seats in the senate it is so bad because joe biden is so bad for the top of the ticket. the one problem they have real quick there will be a food fight and the party will be divided if joe biden goes and that's going to be tough to win in november as well. >> bill: town hall meetings for the next two months. you represent wisconsin. came out yesterday aarp likely voters 18 to 49 in wisconsin trump is up five. same group 18 to 49 throw in
6:40 am
multiple candidates trump leads by six points. what are you hearing back home in wisconsin because that's where republicans are going starting on monday? >> convention there on monday. a tight race. it is night a five-point race. it will be a one-point race one way or the other. i think if you are a betting man you pick donald trump now in wisconsin. but it will be very close. the margin of error was four points. again if the margin was wrong they might have donald trump up by one, which is kind of where i think wisconsin is now. this is early. we have a lot of time left until november. a lot of things can change. >> bill: crystal ball, michigan a toss-up. don't overlook what's happening in the upper midwest. >> democrats still feel confident. >> bill: thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: this one might make you feel older. spain beat france in the final thanks to the historic goal by a
6:41 am
16-year-old. watch. >> and the youngest ever scorer at the euros. >> dana: amazing. he turns 17 years old on saturday. the day before spain faces either england or netherlands in the final. do you think it will be england or the netherlands? >> england for the sake of your husband peter. >> dana: he is always skeptical about their chances but wants them to win. >> bill: how about this 16-year-old kid? imagine the pressure he was under. >> dana: how many jerseys he will sell. >> bill: nicely done. here we go 20 minutes before the hour. >> i'm not going to comment now. >> he just has to step down. >> are you worried about his cognitive ability? >> no i'm not.

beside the point. >> dana: democrats aren't necessarily coalescing around president biden. seven house democrats are calling on him to withdraw. two house democrats and senator stopping short of that but predicting he will lose. let's bring in congressman steve cohen, a democrat of tennessee and member of the house judiciary committee. help us understand you were in the room yesterday morning live during our show and it seems that as i think you said, people aren't necessarily on the same page or even reading from the same book. how do you see it this morning? >> well, i think it's still the same as far as that goes. differences of opinion among democrats. we're a coalition of different interest groups and different parts of the country, and people have different perspectives. talking to constituents and their own perspectives on different issues. i think president biden can definitely serve as president. he has been a great president, historic presidency with jobs, low unemployment, high stock
6:49 am
market prices, respect around the globe. insulin prices capped at $35. he has done a great job. the issue, i guess, is he the best person to wimp the election. democrats want to win the election. as nancy pelosi said it is up to joe biden. he is the nominee. unless he withdraws. it's up to him and we need to let him have this week. a press conference tomorrow night in the nato summit where he has been spectacular. he will make that decision and we need to support him and give him room to make whatever decision he makes. he wants what's best for america and does not want to see a donald trump presidency. >> bill: two quick questions. do you want joe biden to stay in the race, yes or no? >> excuse me? >> do you want joe biden to stay in this race? >> do i want joe biden to stay as president? >> in this race, yes. >> yeah, i think joe biden is our best candidate. i was at home in memphis this weekend and so many people came
6:50 am
up to me on the streets and said joe, joe, joe biden is very popular and done so much for so many people. i have an african-american district and he has done more for h b-cus than any president in history. black unemployment is lowest level ever. black vice president and black supreme court justice. very popular in my district. >> bill: how many voiced support for kamala harris behind closed doors in the meeting yesterday? >> some said that she would be okay if she was the choice. she would be a good candidate and she is a spectacular human being. sharp, a prosecutor. rather have a prosecutor than the convicted felon. she has been part of the biden/harris team. she could carry the successes of this administration on her shoulders and claim them appropriately and be a strong candidate. >> dana: sir, do you believe that president biden, if he remains the candidate. he says he is going to be.
6:51 am
if he remains the candidate and let's say he goes forward and wins. are you confident and do you believe that he could serve all four years as the commander-in-chief? >> you know, my father was a doctor. much to his disappointment, i'm a politician. so i don't think i can speculate on people's longevity or their health conditions. >> bill: i came across this quote. a blind quote. no name attached to it. they characterize the meeting this way. 1/three of the caucus wants him gone, one/3 wants him to stay and 1/3 think he is going to lose. sir, would you agree with that assessment? >> it's close. i would say that's probably close. >> bill: 1/3 all the way. >> maybe 20-60-20.
6:52 am
majority of the people want biden to be our candidate. 20% that think we need to have somebody else and 20% are resolved with the reality. joe biden will decide. joe biden wants best for america and the democratic party and think he will make the right decision. >> dana: do you think the reality is trump is beating biden in the battleground state. you saw the cook political move six of those races towards republicans just yesterday. >> i did see that and it does look the last ten days most of the emphasis has been on joe biden and the debate, which was the low point of his career and hasn't been about donald trump and his sentencing hearing that would come up on the 11th. hadn't been on donald trump and his different legal problems and it hadn't been on donald trump and the lies he told at the debate. he told 32 certifiable lies in the debate. they haven't been talking about those things or comparing trump's four years of president to biden's four years of
6:53 am
president and no comparison. biden passed lots of bipartisan bills. trump couldn't do that. >> bill: thank you for coming on today. hope you come back. it is very interesting to get your take on what was happening. we were very curious. thank you, sir, very much. the democrat from tennessee. donald trump is back on the trail. live report on the former president's rally in florida last night. did he drop any hints about a v.p.? we're awaiting opening statements in the alec baldwin manslaughter trial. what we now know about the jury.
