we can do to make black america great again. >> todd: when trump visited your church, pastor, did you get the sense that some of your parishioners that voted for biden in 2020 were going to switch their vote for trump in 2024? need a quick answer. 15 seconds. >> you know, we had people from the community, not people from the congregation, but people from the community that said that they were actually hurt. they were former democrats. went to democratic gatherings. felt they were pushed aside. they came to our church, listened to president trump, and now they are saying that they are willing to vote for president trump. core core something special but. thank you for joining us this morning, sharing your thoughts with us. that you have a great message. your community is very lucky to have you. pastor sewell, thank you for joining us. >> todd: dropped a mary jane >> brian: slipping support.

more democrats call for president biden from to withdraw from the race after these major -- or from these moments that on his solo press conference yesterday. >> i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage has he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, president putin. i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president if i think she is not qualified to be president. >> lawrence: incredible. >> steve: what? >> ainsley: he vows to say in, unless. >> consider your decision to stay in the race? >> no, unless they came back and said there's no way you can win. [whispering: no poll says that. >> ainsley: whispering: no poll says that. >> steve: i can't hear you. >> ainsley: whispering, sometimes yelling. 60% of voters think biden should

step aside. >> steve: plus, apparently, behind the scenes, barack obama and nancy pelosi reportedly spoke privately at an emergency meeting on the phone about the president's political future. so will democrats keep joe or tell joe it's time to go? >> lawrence: it's incredible. "fox & friends" starts right now on this lovely friday. >> brian: donnie oz monday friday. >> steve: and remember, mornings are better with friends san antonio steve we have the scary music. president biden heads to the battle ground of michigan today after a number of gaffes that everybody saw last night at the debate. he got very mixed up in his very first question at last night's solo big boy press conference. >> look, i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president did i think she is not qualified to be president.

let's start there. >> steve: yeah, let's start there. >> ainsley: biden calling his vice president trump hours after making another mixup the president of ukraine. >> now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, president putin. [ applause ] president putin, he is going to beat president putin. president zelenskyy. i'm so focused on beating putin. we got to worry about it. anyway -- mr. president? >> i'm better. >> you are a hell of a lot better. >> brian: could cover. zelenskyy. right? more democrats coming out last night after the gaffes telling biden to step aside including one senator and 16 house members. >> lawrence: some of the headlines this morning pointing out the tricky spot democrats continue to find themselves in. including one at the top from abc saying that the press

conference leaves the party in purgatory. >> steve: that's right. >> because as we have been talking, republicans are just watching. get out the popcorn and watch last night. it was -- and so today we're the post game show. a lot of democrats who want him to go wanted him to really blow it. and he did -- he made a lot of blunders. and there were a number of gaffes. that's why the "new york post" right now the headline says bumbling biden gaffes his way through q&a. any dem convinced blunder of the world. it is like a purgatory. they wanted him to blow it and he did just enough because the bar is so low. >> brian: i think he did. i thought he did fine. i'm telling you. if this was just a press conference, we would have said oh, look, he made two mistakes. but this is the worst possible scenario for democrats. because he didn't blow -- wasn't clueless. there was no freezing moments. there was no -- i mean there was

a typical joe biden miss-up. saying that donald trump was vice president. obviously terrible, but it's typical of joe biden. when he announces he wants dead congresswomen to stand up and when he tells people their spouse is dead when they are alive, that's what joe biden has been doing. but this is the worst. >> steve: for years. >> brian: this is my view on nato. this is my view on afghanistan. this is my view on what i'm going to come back and win. i get up -- when i get knocked down, i stand up again. to me, he thinks he is fine. is he not going anywhere. his family doesn't want him going anywhere. you're going to have to find leverage or extortion to kick him out. >> lawrence: so that point, brian, i think you are right from the standpoint, say the terrible debate did not happen. i don't think there would be any criticism from the media of that speech because you are right. that's just a typical joe biden. but i think on the substance.

even take the gaffes out of it. the way that he spoke about the economy and inflation, i mean just lying to the american people. at no point did he say that i felt your pain. then he decided he was going to take credit for the border right now because it's the summer and texas has secured its poferghts border. he says everything is fine at the border. then the most stunning thing so much so he got a reaction from trey yingst on twitter he said that hamas is losing its support in gaza? west bank which is totally untrue look at the polling and support it's actually going up. from issue to issue. he just lied through the press conference. and, of course. so media was saying that he showed his knowledge and depth for. >> steve: master class. >> ainsley: shows you how low the bar is. you can't take the debate away we all watched that of course we were all focused on the presser last night. yes, maybe in another situation we wouldn't have been talking about this as much as we are,

but you can't erase t the debat. that's why the spotlight is on him. they have a big decision to make, the party does. last night was very bizarre. he was whispering sometimes. then yelling sometimes. he will trail off and say well, anyways. he said that nine times. and then he was asked a question and he said i'm going to the johnson library anyway. out of nowhere he said gun control -- control guns not girls. then he screams more children killed by bullets than anything else in the world or in the u.s. he said tomorrow, when i show up at the convention, he kept clearing his throat. i don't know what that's about. maybe is he still sick or taking some sort of medicine. he talked -- he addressed going to bed at 8:00. he said it's smart to pace myself. and lots of mumbling. and then at the end, when a reporter -- he was done taking questions. and they were trying to get him off the stage and then one reporter asked him the question. you did realize you called your vice president donald trump? and then he says that -- the

reporter says well donald trump has been tweeting about this right now. and he has been aware of it. how do you combat the criticism from tonight? and joe biden said listen to him. thank you. and that's the end of the press conference. >> brian: stood there and froze at the end -- didn't freeze. i didn't say that because sometimes he actually freezes. he should have just left. he just stood there i'm thinking to myself why is he standing there? sure enough someone stood up donald trump called you out because you just called him the vice president. believe him was a bad ad-lib. >> steve: he said anyway any time he lost his place. it's like i had a train of thought -- anyway. so, anyway, what we have done is we have attendant 59 minutes of the press conference. >> brian: knocked it down to 57. >> steve: we are going to snippet it up throughout the morning and we're going to show you. here's a couple minutes of how it started. joe biden had a list of reporters, of course, fox is never on the list. some of the highlights that ainsley was talking about in

this little montage. >> i'll take your questions, i've been given a list of people to call on here. >> there has been reporting that have you acknowledged that you need to go to bed earlier and end your evening around 8:00. >> that's not true. look, ha ha ha ha, what i said was instead of my every day starting at 7:00 and going to bed at midnight. it would be smarter for me to pace pace myself a little more. i love my staff. [whispering] but they add things, add things all the time very -- i'm catching hell from my wife for that anyway. >> if you stay in the race, despite the concerns that voters say they have, and you lose to someone who you yourself have argued is unfit to return to the oval office? >> well, look, i'm not in this for my legacy if i'm reelected things are going to get much better. our economy is growing.

whispering when unions do better, everybody does better. i have not had any of my european allies come up to me and say: joe, don't run. what i hear them say is you've got win. control guns, not girls. more children are killed by a bullet than any other cause of death. the united states of america. what the hell are we doing? and surrounded by good docs. if they think there is a problem, i promises you or even if they don't think it's a problem and should have a neurological exam again. i will do it. i believe i'm the best qualified to govern. and i think i'm the best qualified to win. but there are other people that could beat trump, too. but it's hard to start from scratch. >> lawrence: i think it's clear he is not getting out. number two, he completely throws his staff, that's the stupidest thing. >> steve: couple of times.

>> lawrence: throwing the crew under the bus, you don't do that. >> steve: wait for a commercial. >> lawrence: not going to go well. then he confirms the reports about jill biden being upset. >> ainsley: what did you think when he started making all the attributes brings to the table. if she has to replace you. the answer should be i am running. instead he went through the myriad of things, the reasons why she would make a great president. >> lawrence: doesn't want to tick her off. >> brian: scott peters is out democrat from california. jim hymes says he has to step out. >> lawrence: over intelligence. >> brian: i asked do you want joe biden or somebody else. he paused and says brian, it's about the policies. that's what i brought up. he was bragging about afghanistan. don't do what we did in afghanistan. >> lawrence: terrible. >> brian: not only did you leave, when we were in afghanistan, we had a handle on terror. we knew what was going on. we lost all our intelligence and surveillance capabilities when he left. the thing is it's become terror

university now. he never once spoke w about the hostages in israel. speaking about gaza and hamas and netanyahu and then he talked about the institutions and democracy on the ballot and we have to stop this conservative supreme court. since when is conservatives a curse word? liberal, conservative. you have a court that is mostly conservative. but what is wrong with the institution? he is defaming and demeaning an institution while saying donald trump will defame and demean institutions. and while leaning on the project 2025, 900 pages. some of it good. some of it bad. none of it bad, it's conservative doctrine. >> ainsley: think tank. not donald trump. >> lawrence: he is all over the place. >> brian: 12 things he listed if the trump team would do as president if they win. the rng is going to talk about it. don't make up scenarios about policies he doesn't back. >> steve: you know, here's the thing. joe biden was at this nato summit for three days. the average american,

unfortunately did not understand anything he was talking about when it came to a lot of the foreign policy, minutia regarding china and russia and other stuff people's eyes glazed over. >> brian: no question david sanction gore -- >> steve: great 12 minute answer and lost the audience and he was mumbling and very soft. some people just wanted him to address the elephant in the room. ever since two weeks earlier at love people have been saying joe, you suck. you've got get out a lot of people wanted to hear him address that. at the debate he said that he would not drop out unless the almighty, god almighty said joe. >> lawrence: in the interview? >> that's right. last night what he said, he has changed that it's not god anymore. it's gallup. watch. >> you early explained confidence in your vice president. >> yes. >> if your team came back and showed you data that she would fair better against former president donald trump, would

you reconsider your decision to stay in the race? >> no, unless they came back and said there's no way you can win. me. [whispering: no one is saying that no poll says that. >> steve: no poll said that last night at times he went from old yeller to whispering joe. that was whispering joe. >> brian: david axelrod listened, acknowledged that he did better this time. but also pointed out that people in his camp are not being honest with him about his polls. that's what it showed him he said if what he said at the end of the presser is true it sounds like biden team has not been very candid with him about what the data is show egg. the age issue is huge and insurmountable concern and his odds of victory very, very slim. >> lawrence: it's incredible. when you look at the whole thing it's like he had -- he did acknowledge he has been hearing some of the stuff from the

senators in congress. but he says that it doesn't impact him that much because that's what happened. that's typical washington behavior. be. >> brian: senator and people get nervous about his race. >> lawrence: old stories. i don't know why any of that was relevant to what we were discussing there. but i just got to say there were some good questions from the press corps. but they didn't hammer him as much as i thought they were going to do. >> brian: no follow-up. they would kill their mics. >> lawrence: it was over at that point. especially during the trump years. when the president didn't quite answer the question next reporter behind him would say hey you didn't answer my colleague's question. there was none of that they are still protecting him in a way. >> ainsley: to david axelrod's point that the chance of a victory are slim. you look at the polls, whether or not they are correct or not. but the polls are showing that out of the six swing states, trump is taking five. he is tied in wisconsin with joe biden. and if you look at this poll

that is from "the washington post," 67 percent said that they think he should step aside. 30 percent said he should continue, and 3% didn't have an answer. >> steve: ainsley, that was predicated upon, that was before last night's dee events. it was all about the debate. it will be interesting to see whether or not any of the polls change given -- and we're going to talk about the mainstream media reaction in just a little bit. you know, he wasn't terrible last night. he wasn't great, but he was not terrible. >> brian: which in my opinion is the worst scenario for democrats. >> steve: it's a purgatory. >> brian: house intelligence committee member the latest democrat to call on president biden to withdraw from the 2024 race. there are now 17 democratic lawmakers telling joe directly to step aside. >> ainsley: madeleine rivera has the latest for us. good morning, maddy. >> good morning. like you guys were pointing out. the issue for democrats is that the president didn't completely fumble at the news conference but he didn't knock it out of the park either. a lot of democrats don't see

that inconsistency as sustainable, listen. >> you can't have a situation where every day we're holding our breath whether it's a press conference, debate, or a rally. and i think we're at historic moment where the president can pass the torch. >> really not about tonight. and one of the really kind of sick aspects of this moment is that we are watching every speech, every rally, every debate and saying how did he do today? and that's just not the way to think about the presidency of the united states congressman jim rimes one of 17 calling for him to step aside. peters is calling for the president to drop out after the news conference and this in part. today i ask president biden to withdraw from the presidential campaign. the stakes are high and we are on a losing course.

congresswoman marie goosen camp perez is suggesting the president resign stating the americans the if the is fit enough to do the job. the crisis in the president's leadership needs to come to an end. the president should do what he knows is right for the country and put the national interest first. now cnn reports former president obama and former house speaker nancy pelosi have spoken privately about the president's campaign saying, quote: cnn spoke with more than a dozen members of congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with obama and protest. many of whom say the end for biden's candidacy feels clear and at this point it's a matter of how it plays out even after thursday night's news conference. our peter doocy says he was actually planning to ask the president about that report last night. whether the president wants his former boss working quietly to replace him. lawrence, steve, ainsley and brian. >> brian: thank you so much, maddy. why did he green light george clooney column? he wanted to stop that he had toler, he could have stopped it.

>> steve: could have. >> brian: why is he meeting with nancy pelosi behind closed doors and reinforce what we all know the biden camp does not get along with the obama camp. this is going to make him dig in more when he find out barack obama is behind it because in 2016 he went with hillary clinton. >> lawrence: lawrence to that point, pelosi, obama, savvy politicians. the headlines all day yesterday was that they were leading the charge to get him out. >> steve: they still are. >> lawrence: they could have crushed those stories with a statement. some spokesperson, but, instead, they essentially turned up the heat. >> brian: hillary clinton at a fundraiser behind closed doors and according to "new york post" investment banker said that this is like -- he goes joe biden's situation is like trying to take the keys away from a parent. and laughed and followed up and said ultimately it's going to be joe biden and his people around him that will make that decision. but hillary clinton mocking

behind closed doors. >> ainsley: the party is divided. you have half of them that want him to stay and half don't. george clooney i don't think he would have written that letter unless he ran it by blessing of barack obama and other democrats. the guy who said george clooney, he produces most, let him stick to that was congressman steve cohen. he said that he is convinced a lot of people -- he is convinced a lot of people within the walls of congress that biden should stay in the race. you had kate bedingfield the former comms director for biden said he needed to show up tonight and he did. >> steve: here's thing. remember nancy pelosi a couple days ago on another channel said let's just hold your fire. democrats, don't say anything in public until the end of the week. in other words, until after. >> lawrence: the press conference. >> steve: exactly. the cbs is reporting today that apparently dozens of democratic lawmakers in the next 48 hours, it's going to be coordinated. they are going to en masse, say joe, you got to go.

>> lawrence: unbelievable. >> steve: cbs says that the democrats say that behind the scenes the next three or four days are going to be brutal for joe biden exception is squeeze him out by the middle of next week. >> ainsley: right in the middle of rng. >> brian: i watched lawrence editing this morning is this the montage here? >> lawrence: this is the media reaction. >> why haven't they done a lot more of these. that's about as comfortable is he going to get. >> at the beginning where he vice president vice president trump instead of vice president harris. lengthy answers on subjects he knows very well. >> there were obviously verbal missteps. there were some periods of hopingness but also periods of generally impressive commands and influence. >> not only strong on foreign policy is he fundamentally right on foreign policy. >> give some credit where credit is due. it was a solid performance

except for one filibuster. >> lawrence: monday maddow says he is fundamentally right. i think to the media's -- they are in a box now. because what do you do? he said that he's not going to leave the race. they don't want donald trump. they have to repair him in some way it's the same thing for these representatives. they are saying step aside. at some point they will pivot as well when he decides -- well, he has already decided is he staying. >> brian: all they care about poll numbers. i care about his mental health and who is running the country now. mental health is fine and 58 years old and polling badly, that's the way they are approaching this when they should say i don't think he's healthy, i don't think he can do the job. is he making me worried. is he not showing up at work. he only works until 8:00. those are the things that matter. >> ainsley: brian, they know that they have been saying that behind closed doors for a long time. hearing lots of reports we knew how bad he was. the debate just made it open to the public.

they like him being like that so they can make all the choices. >> brian: get something across to me, please whisper it. >> steve: very effective. >> ainsley: that was not a whisper. >> brian: very direct. too direct. i need it whispered to me while leaning over. >> steve: as they try to figure out how to go forward. if joe biden saw that montage that we just played he would go they love me. i'm not going anywhere. apparently with this coordinated attack these democrats are planning in the next day or so. essentially what they are going to say is you are going to -- we are all going to lose our jobs because of you. you want your legacy to be joe biden loser, so that's how they are. >> brian: need anything to get done. talk to hunter, is he right by his side. >> steve: unfortunately he is. you know who is by our side, carley is by our side. >> carley: more news to get to across the country and around the world. new overnight a four story apartment building in philadelphia is destroyed by a raging fire leaving three people hurt. firefighters were able to get it

under control just after midnight and this morning at least 50 residents are homeless. investigators are still trying to figure out what sparked those massive flames. grandmother returned home to orlando yesterday after being arrested on ammo charges in turks and caicos. she has been detained since may. >> i'm truly blessed with the whole scenario. god placed some wonderful people in my life along this journey out to support me and everything. i'm just truly blessed through the whole ordeal. >> for the ammo found in her bag she was fined 1500 bucks and given a suspended sentence it 25 weeks. they are all back home. and prince harry accepted the pat tillman award for service at the espies in los angeles. in his acceptance speech, he did mention tillman's home. she had previously criticized espn for giving the award to the

duke of sussex. her feeling it should have been given to someone with less privilege. >> mrs. mary tillman pat's mother. her advocacy for pat's legacy is deeply personal and one that i respect. the bond between a mother and son is eternal and transcends even the greatest loss. >> carley: prince harry's wife meghan made a surprise appearance to support her husband. the award is given out to individuals who make significant contributions to the world like former nfl player and u.s. army ranger pat tillman. he served in both iraq and afghanistan before he was killed by friendly fire in 2004. and those are your headlines. >> brian: i heard they were really mad because they had to delay the start of the espies because the delay of the start of the press conference. >> lawrence: changed the time. >> steve: initially supposed to start closer to 5:30 and started closer to 8:00.

headlines today, watch this whopper. >> ladies and gentlemen, president putin. [applause] >> president putin? he is going to beat president putin. president zelenskyy. i'm so focused on beating putin we got to worry about it. anyway -- mr. president. >> i'm better. >> you are a hell of a lot better. >> brian: fox news correspondent benjamin hall joins us now. ben, what a mistake. >> i mean, brian, steve, ainsley, it was a mistake pity. 75th anniversary of nato. a time coming together to focus on how they can help ukraine, push back against russia. a lot of incredibly positive things that came out of that much of that was overshadowed by the press conference last night. i know that's not how it was supposed to play out. briefly in terms of ukraine, irreversible part now to nato menatemembership, 40 billion eus given to ukraine next years.

f 16s delivered over the summer. patriot systems delivered faster than before. all these things are really positive moves. and ukraine is going to benefit greatly from them. sadly that has not been the he had headline we are hearing about today. that's been a pity for many of the nato leaders. >> brian: one question from the press corps that i thought you might have asked. can you finally give ukraine -- do what zelenskyy has been begging to do and be able to hit the weapons depots and the bases that moscow is marking their attacks on ukraine from. there are limitations to the weapons and limitations to weapon systems that we're giving to ukraine. and they are begging joe biden to take off the handcuffs. to no avail, apparently. >> zelenskyy has been very, very clear on this. they wants to use the -- to fire into russia. the bases they can hit at the moment are only the small bases around the ukrainian border. if they could go further, they

could put a halt to so many attacks. take out airfields and military depos not being allowed to do that that is the question that keeps asking for. they keep asking for it. they have been given a little bit at a time. zelenskyy says the same. they need to be getting more. they need to be getting it faster. >> ainsley: then bret asked zelenskyy how closely do you all follow the u.s. presidential election over there and he said more than you do, bret. that's how much our politics matter to them. how much do our politics matter to the new u.k. prime minister and people across the pond in the u.k. where you live? >> look, what we saw yesterday was the first meeting between the new prime minister starmer and president biden. that's a critical moment for a prime minister. you sit down and talk about the special relationship and talk about moving forward. again, that was not headline we got. the question going to care starmer is solely how is president biden handling this? what was his condition? and it's a pity to see that and i know care starmer was hoping to talk about other topics.

overshadowing so many things happening. you look at some of the papers in the u.k. the headlines on every page are about president biden right now. joe no was the front cover of the sun. biden fumbles his make or break moment. his chance to win over the doubters. he blew it. it is a pity nato leaders look to the u.s. as well for leadership. at this point they don't have it. also looking forward to potential trump presidency. so nato leaders are having to balance. this as care starmer how do you prepare for nato if president trump is elected who doesn't have such firm commitments perhaps the money going into it. nato leaders care starmer doesn't know what direction to go at the moment. it's hard to watch. >> steve: hard for european leaders to bad-mouth either biden or trump because they just never know who asking about to be the boss. >> that's right. they are really toeing the line at the moment. it's american leadership that so many people used to look towards led the way that many people

feel they have to step back at least november they know which path they can take. >> brian: for the record is he going to finance nato. he wants them to get to their threshold and he likes zelenskyy. >> absolutely. brian, if you see some of the defense spending going on in the eu it is rising. look how much went to nato it increased dramatically. jen stoltenberg departing head of nato said the same thing. huge increase in the defense in the eu that's exactly where president trump stands. >> lawrence: ben, we hear from the audience all the time. how is he recovering? it looks like nothing ever happened to you, you have been out there reporting just like normal. >> yeah. i mean, look, one of my goals is always to get back to work. i had a surgery about a month ago. i had some of the remaining part of my left foot taken out. and i have been in a wheelchair for a while. this is my first day back in the london bureau. and i'm a strong believer that no matter when you are held

claiming that he cleared the bar. this was not any kind of, you know, game changing moment for him. he rambled through this press conference. he made numerous mistakes. by the way, i thought the most telling comments was his comment about how his staff talks a lot. which seemed to be directed at the fact that there has been so many leaks coming out of this white house over the past several weeks now that really are people telling all the things that we should have known a long time ago about the way that he has approached this job. and, look, you know, going forward, i think what you are going to see is not really a major change. this press conference was built up but it's not going to reassure any of the democrats who are out there that joe biden can carry them to victory in the fall. and, in fact, i think you are going to see a number of swing state democrats over the coming days come out and express their own, you know, concerns about him going forward. whether they can do anything about it in the limited time that awaits. that's up to them. if they have the will, they can. but they may not have the will.

chuck. hhe is not any different. still a guy extremely ambitious, power hungry and surrounded by inis you larr group living in the white house all living and want to keep him in power regardless of whether that's good for the nation or not. upper lawrence lawrence same chuck todd had a cabinet member tell him report for two years. >> didn't report it. >> lawrence: exactly. wisconsin radio host misediting. biden campaign called and asked for two edits before it aired given the gravity of the current political moment. the stakes in this election and importance of public scrutiny. public officials and the highest office. we believe it is important to share this information. i mean, they just keep punching, punching, punching, but we're just now learning about this. do you think it would be

acceptable to edit a trump interview? >> look, you know, i'm not against, you know, having -- sometimes you have to have pretaped interviews, my question is does joe biden do any interviews that aren't pretaped. >> lawrence: right. >> so they can circle back and say edit this part out. we don't want the country to say this because, again, is he going -- he just did a pretaped interview with george stephanopoulos. do another pretaped interview on monday. is he going to do any of these things live? he needs to in order for us to have any confidence in the questions and answers being what they actually were. >> lawrence: i'm just telling you as someone that does interviews with the former president, all the time. there wouldn't have even been a suggestion from the campaign for me to edit an interview because we just aren't going to do it. it's just not happening. what we tape is what we tape. what we decide to air is what we decide to air. ben, thank you so much for joining the program. >> exactly. lawrence lawrence thank you for joining the program. >> great to be with you. >> lawrence: says the economy is growing. brian brenberg a reality check.
