iran on their territory. that lays out the vision for what i believe we can still achieve, which is normalization between the saudis and israelis. that would lay the foundation for regional peace and stability. it builds on the abraham accords and could make a lasting difference. >> bret: definitely. but the politics and the images are something. and obviously vice president harris has been much more vocal and critical of the israelis than president biden. i know you say that the president can fulfill his term. there's a lot of people that are questioning that. at least on the republican side and we look forward to hearing from the president in person. thank you for the time we squeezed you in here at the end of the show. we appreciate it. >> thank you, bret. >> bret: thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "the ingraham angle" is next. ♪ ♪ >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. >> this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. who is running to be the

democratic nominee again? it is getting very confusing. kamala was out there this afternoon in the wilmington headquarters seemingly making the case for joe biden. we'll get into that is anyone really buying this act? >> in one term he has already, yes, you may clap. [laughter] the. >> the ultimate cheap fakes. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> laura: all right. things keep getting weirder and weirder in biden-harris land. so last thursday. early morning, three days before his own party would push him to get out of the race we were told that joe biden tested positive for covid. most adults four and a half years after pandemic was called getting covid was like getting a cold. nevertheless biden went into seclusion in biden and he hasn't been seen since. but late this afternoon, we

heard his voice at a kamala event. >> why the way, i'm not going anywhere. i'm going to be out there on the campaign with her, with kamala. i will be working like hell both as a sitting president, getting legislation passed, as well as campaigning. >> laura: that's reassuring. the only reason he made that odd audio appearance, some people thought his disappearance was strange and even disturbing. none of this is normal. they make him sign a letter no one believes he wrote. and then he followed it up with tweeted endorsement of the woman ha has been his vice president? why wasn't that in the original letter? oops? now, i wouldn't hold my breath about seeing biden tearing it up on the campaign trail, regardless of what he said this afternoon for kamala. he couldn't campaign for himself. and now he is going to campaign for her? yeah, okay. now, maybe he shows up on camera tomorrow, looking fit as a

fiddle and ready to roar in the final months that he has in office. but, come on. that's unlikely. after all, if that was the case. why we have allowed his old friends to force him to drop his campaign. remember though, up until sunday morning, like 11:00, biden, he was staying in the race. >> he made a decision. he is going to be the candidate. he's going to be the next president. now it's time to focus on the threat that donald trump poss. >> laura: it was time to move on, turn the page. well, his comms team, let's face it, has tried its hardest to micromanage every formal event that biden has done since basically his inauguration. but then we're supposed to believe this is how it all ends? seems like no actual preparation. rushed out. networks weren't alerted. maybe biden's people didn't want another bad news cycle? i guess that's what it was.

they needed this week badly. they badly needed it to be about how great kamala is. but just as we saw with the lack of transparency over the attempted assassination of president trump, which we're going to get to in this kimberly cheatle embarrassment shortly, conspiracy theories swirl in the absence of hard facts. and, of course, we have no transparency here about biden's condition whatsoever. so, some americans tonight, even with his audio, you know, phone-in for the kamala event, people tonight are wondering is biden really okay? is he even, perhaps, gravely ill? yet, come on, this is the m.o. though of the biden team, including kamala harris herself, for this entire administration. it goes something like this. whenever they are questioned. whether it's on policy or biden's medical condition, they deflect, demonize and deny. no, the border's secure, of course it's secure. there's no crisis. no, ukraine isn't losing ground.

they're winning. and no, biden is not dropping out of the race! no biden is not impaired at all. it's all cheap fake. so it's conceal the facts and spin, spin, spin until the last possible second. that was sunday. until they couldn't delay any further. so, tell me. why should we trust a man who can't manage his own withdrawal from the campaign to run the country and be our commander-in-chief for the next six months? >> every single person who saw joe biden knew that he wasn't capable of doing the job and for three years they said nothing until he became political dead weight. that is not a way to run a country. that is not a way to run a political party. that is an insult to voters. >> laura: both biden's absence and his presence is now signaling american weakness to our adversaries. and also, of course, it brings on the possibility of horrible outcomes over the next several

months. so, if we have a foreign policy crisis if we have a financial crisis, national security crisis. who will make the decisions. if biden can't fulfill his duties he needs to step down and republicans and democrats together should be demanding that he step down. the white house isn't a nursing home. you don't get to live there because you are a nice old man who has been glad handing in washington for the past 50 years and by the way making your family rich in the process. this is literally the most important job in the world. and the fact is democrats have been willing to gamble though with our economy, and our safety, frankly, for the past three and a half years. they knew what biden was all about. they knew he was in decline. and, by the way, do you realize that the last time biden was briefed, briefing house democrats on capitol hill, excuse me, about one of his main priorities was back in 2021.

we're only now learning that that briefing on capitol hill was a total disaster. he bungled it in trying to push his $1 trillion infrastructure bill and pelosi had to step in to take over. according to the "wall street journal" today, in 30 minutes of remarks on capitol hill, biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers according to democrats in the room. after he left, a visibly frustrated pelosi told the group that she would articulate what biden had been trying to say. now, they were hiding biden's condition this entire time. and they were gaslighting all of us who were documenting his obvious decline. and those same people. very same people are now trying to convince us that clarifies is some political jugge juggernaut?

she is historic, she is young. by the way she will be 60 on election day all this happy talk about brilliance candidacy is par for the course. do not for the moment let it obscure a few simple truths. the democrats put all of their chips on biden. and they lost the bet. he is now going to go down in history as a failure who chanced the first time he had to really defend his record on national tv. and then biden was humiliated by his own party who forced him out kamala harris was not the first choice of any democrat to run against trump. they all thought she would be weaker than biden because a she has all of his policy baggage including the abyss mall failure toe border or none of his talent or working class appeal. remember when she ran against him she was forced to drop out before the iowa caucuses total embarrassment. so the move to replace biden

with haste, it's not some 3-d chess move. desperate move to replace their quarterback with an untested, unproven backup player and no, biden is not drew bledsoe and harris is not tom brady. so forget that if they really thought that lewis-harris could have done a job better than biden, they would have forced him out months ago, but they didn't. so the bottom line is. this this is an unserious party, run by petty foolish people, who always put their own personal interest ahead of what's best for the country. if they cared about the united states, they would have dumped biden a long time ago. but he was just another political calculation, after all, is he a puppet, too. and once the numbers didn't work for the party, power brokers, biden was road kill. but the american people don't deserve the same fate. and i don't believe they are going to fall for the kamala sneak either. and that's the angle not all

biden backers are moving toward kamala harris. joining me now tom morgan democrat mega donor and florida personal injury lawyer. john, i know you donated a million dollars to the biden-harris campaign and i know they would like your money now that harris is likely to be the nominee. so what's next for you? >> what's next for me is i'm out. when all this happened, i wasn't upset about it, what i didn't like was a coronation instead of a convention. i didn't like the idea of two or three people picking the nominee. because i believe in convention would have provided, perhaps, a stronger candidate or it would have made her stronger that

didn't happen. i said i'm going to take my money and go home. guess what? they are going to raise plenty of money water me. they don't need me one bit. for me, it was a bridge too far. lawyers. >> laura: they have raised a lot of money. $81 million they say in the last 24 hours or so, for kamala harris. but, the question remains, i mean, she said today, late today, that she is going to win the nomination. what does that mean right now, win the nomination? i mean, it's pretty much they forced biden to drop out. he didn't want to drop out. he has been in washington 51 years, and they threw him to the side pretty quickly when they decided the anybody's didn't add up. do you think if she claims out t lord know what is is going to happen. it's been a crazy news cycle. will she survive? >> she is in it forever. and once pelosi endorsed her. that was the end of the convention. because pelosi had called for a

mini convention. that's over. it's kamala harris. and they are going to live and die with her. my thought was, if you could pick anybody, don't you go and pick the two strongest people to win? i don't think they did. but, guess what? it's not my decision. my decision is you all go do what you want to do. i'll do -- i'll stay home. because i believe to raise millions of dollars, you have to number one be enthusiastic. you have to believe in the person. and you have to believe they can win. and if you don't have those things you don't have me. >> laura: john, i was an old defense attorney. i was a criminal white collar defense attorney. you have a big, big law practice. so you make bets on cases. you make big bets. because you have to put in enormous amount of time think you will get a pay out at the

end on contingency cases. if you don't think that case is going to be successful. are you going to put all that money in upfront and litigate that thing to the end? i mean, you have to make that calculation. is that the type of thinking that you're engaged in now? >> the type of thinking i'm thinking, laura, is this is and by the way my son matt said to tell you hello. he met new maple witch. >> laura: oh, nice. >> years ago when did you go to the racetrack to think you can win and base on the horse that you think can win. and in this case, i don't believe she can win. now, does that make me a bad person? they want to make me a bad person for saying that. they want to say oh my god, you are not -- no, you know, i don't think she can win. i think a combination of joe manchin andy beshear, josh

shapiro, mark kelly, i got a thousand different scenarios that i think make more sense to win. but. >> laura: john, that party is gone. i hate to tell you. i mean, you're super successful. you don't need my political advice but that democrat party has sailed. that's gone. manchin was going to run for about five seconds and he is out. i'm going to be the guy come in and challenge biden and challenge harris. is he all talk and no action. >> he is not going to take them on. >> they are never going to pick manchin for a lot of the reasons. they are never going to pick manchin. but there is josh shapiro and gretchen whitmer. it's like this, which person or persons do you think can win -- if you could pick any, my thought is this. and i represent some people high up in the trump organization for some cases. if they had to pick one person to run against, out of the whole

lot, they just pick one, i think they pick her. >> laura: i think you are 100 percent right. john, we have a mind meld, democrat-republican tonight. because if i'm trying to pick someone. it's either newsom who is a disaster in california or it's kamala. all the other ones would be much harder to campaign against. >> look, how about this? andy beshear and josh pa shir row. andy beshear won twice in kentucky in a red state. >> laura: progressives hate him. that party doesn't exist. they hate beshear. >> he knows how to win s shapiro can win in a swing state. michigan and pennsylvania, if you don't win those two, it's over. over. >> but, john, if you are one of those characters, and you think

you have a political figure in 2028, my god i would run from the invitation to be on kamala's ticket. i would run as fast as they could. >> except those folks are thinking about name i.d. >> laura: nah. >> what's the name i.d. >> laura: if you can't beat trump with everything they have thrown at trump and you go down in flames against trump, you're going to be the next road kill for the democrat party. they should run. john, we have got to roll. it's great to talk to you. thank you so much for joining us tonight. well, kamala, as john said, she is going to take the money and run, including biden's money. she wants to use biden $95 million war chest? can she is she breaking the law. here to break it all down is the fec chair john cooksey. sean, what usually happens to candidates' money if they drop out and why isn't that happening here? >> a lot of it depends on when they drop out. here we have a situation in which is a candidate is dropping out before they are the formal

nominee which would usually happen in that case under the law, that candidate first needs to give back all their general election money. that doesn't seem to be what is happening here. it seems what instead the democrats are going to do is take the money and run. give it to the harris campaign. not bother to get any fec guidance and just deal with any consequences on that after the election. >> laura: now, wait a second, are you saying that no one in the biden campaign has reached out for even, you know, a cursory opinion from the fec or any type of guidance? >> no. in fact, you know, the fec has a process for just these kind of situations. >> laura: what? >> we have a process where you can come to the fec. say you have a problem. you can get expedited review in 20 days. get a thumbs up or thumbs down. they decided not to do it. they changed the paperwork on their committee. slapped a new name on it called the harris for president committee. and it looks like they are about to spend all of that money and deal with any enforcement matters or lawsuits later.

>> laura: if someone then sues and takes this to the fec, and saying this is not copasetic, it's against the regulations, could that pause the spending? i mean, how would this take -- how long would this take? >> well, at the fec, we don't have any injunctive relief. we don't have the ability to issue a restraining order or to stop it. and with so few days left until the election, what is can is it 106? it's really unlikely we will be able to get through complaint and enforcement matter in that time. i think the only way that parties want to challenge, this whether it's the trump campaign or donors who feel like they have been wrong, they are going to have to go straight to court. >> laura: so they will have to go descrit federal district court. file for injunctive relief or maybe have a small class action if you can get that together fast. is that how you do it. >> i think that's a very plausible route. i think there are a lot of people who are problems with the way this has been handled. a lot of open questions about whether any of this was legal. i think a lot of the them are probably working on their complaints right now.

>> laura: wow, sean, incredibly educational. thank you so much. all right. coming up, the worst house testimony of all time. another great biden-harris pick exposed and that's next. ♪ ♪ imagine a future where plastic is not wasted... but instead remade over and over... into the things that keep our food fresher, our families safer, and our planet cleaner. to help us get there, america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars to create innovative products and new recycling technologies for sustainable change. because when you push for smarter solutions, big things can happen.

>> laura: we know the biden harris is very proud first hispanic. this first lgbtq person in this senior role and now the first secret service director in u.s. history who literally would not be hired by an elementary school to investigate a missing library book. >> you are fully cooperating with this committee. on july 15th, this committee sent you a list of demands of information that we wanted. has the secret service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel that were there that day? have you done that? have you provided a list to the oversight committee? yes or no? >> i will have to get back to you on that. >> that is a no. have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee as we asked on july 15th, yes or no? >> i would have to get back to you on that. >> that is a no. you are full of [bleep] today. >> laura: you could hardly blame the congresswoman. we apparently have sergeant schultz as a secret service

director. she knows nothing. >> were you not prepared today to answer our questions? >> i am prepared to answer the questions, based on the information. >> did they confront him. >> did they talk to him? >> i do not have those details at this time. >> the secret service use any drones for surveillance that day? >> so, again, i'm not going to get into specifics and a half day. >> laura: no answers, zero accountability. now, this was so egregious even democrats seemed genuinely shocked. >> reason why members in this committee are calling for resignation and i join in that, or for the president to fire you is because you're saying there is going to be accountability but you can't commit that people are going to get fired. >> i believe, director cheatle you should resign there are colleagues on both sides of the aisle who believe that i hope you will consider it. >> i will be joining the chairman in calling for the resignation of the director. >> laura: now, one of my

favorite moments of the entire hearing though came from congressman tim burchett. >> ms. cheatle you said the buck stops with me and i agree. i don't think you should resign. i think she should have been fired. ma'am, you are a dei horror story. >> laura: ha! maybe it was the accent. joining us now florida congressman byron donalds on the house oversight committee there today. former navy seal sniper who was at the site of the attempted assassination of former president trump today. congressman donalds, so, cheatle shows up there. and i thought are we all being punched like what is going on? and if kamala harris is really so strong as a number two. why didn't she convince biden to fire that woman, the first subsequent that she didn't know anything about. this law, good to be with you. first i will tell you about the hearing, it was an absolute disaster.

every clip that you paid the others that didn't even make the cut, it was a travesty, never seen anything like this. the outrage was bipartisan. but to your broader question about kamala harris going to joe biden and saying that she should have been fired. nobody in this administration has been fired for any of the crises or debacles created by the biden-harris administration. they simply aren't doing the job of running the executive wing of our government. they don't do that so that's how you have this incompetence that is allowed to continue to proliferate throughout the biden-harris administration. that's why we are glad joe is gone and she doesn't need to be anywhere near the oval office of this level of incompetence will continue. >> laura: congressman crane, you were at the site of the shooting today there is still a question about the reports of the ladder. she was completely all over the place on what she would address and what she wouldn't address. but what did you see when you were there? >> thanks for having me, laura.

you know, we definitely debunked the steep roof theory today. many of us got up on that roof. we actually had a member of congress who is 70 years old get up on that roof and w walk right up it. one of the things i noticed when i got on site and out of the car in the parking lot there is a massive water tower overlooking almost the entire property that had any of the counter snipers gotten up on top of would have -- that guy wouldn't have even got up a ladder let alone be allowed to crawl on the roof and take eight shots at the former president of the united states. the last thing i noticed, laura, when the building directly behind the roof where the shooter took his shots, there was law enforcement that had complete access to that building, i took a video so people could see out the window, they had complete and total conch and visibility of that entire roof. i left there with a lot more questions than i have answers. but the thing i know that it was

a complete security failure. >> laura: i mean, congressman donalds, to that point, she would not answer the simple questions someone else, about how much time transpired between the moment they knew he was suspicious to the moment someone was alerted and how that interaction went between local and federal officials, the secret service from local. she couldn't answer even basic questions. >> yeah, that was what was so disgusting. simple stuff like who knew what and when did they know it? and what was the chain of communication? you don't have to give us the names of specific agents, but you can sit there and say we were alerted at this time and here's the flow of information as it got down to the president's core detail team which is with him basically all the time. she couldn't even give us that level of information.

and so, at this point talking about it only thing that we should be talking about is the fact that the american people should be ashamed -- should feel shamed by this administration and by this secret service director because there is no confidence in her ability to do her job going forward. >> laura: congressman crane, another moment from the hearing today involved the question of how long it took our sniper to engage with the shooter, with mr. crooks. and obviously he was able to get, what, three shots off before our sniper took him out. but, there was no ability on the part of this woman ms. cheatle to address that question. what was the hold up because they knew he was in the vicinity, they knew they lost track of him, and he was spotted on that roof. so, but he wasn't taken out. >> absolutely, laura. i don't know how many shots, i think i counted seven or eight

myself. another question is why was the president allowed to be up on the stage when secret service and other law enforcement officials are reporting this suspect and this individual who they are watching use a laser range fight tore range the actual stage? anybody in law enforcement that saw that would have highly questioned that and thought what are this guy's motives? why is he walking around over there acting funny. and you know, they would have gotten the president off the stage. that's what they should have done. and had, like i said, had they had their snipers, their counter snipers in proper locations it wouldn't have even been close. >> laura: i don't know how long you would have had your job on a sniper team if the kind of dare election of duty that we see in the part of the chain of command here, the lack of knowledge, the lack of accountability, the lack of interest, apparently, in having the answers, you would have been kicked off that team in about five seconds. somehow we have this woman still in this position. congressman, both of you, sorry,

i'm still worked up about this. thank you very much. both of you. all right. coming up. kamala can't laugh her way around the foreign policy circles, her expertise or lack thereof will terrify you. we will show it to you, next. ♪ ♪ i heard i had a choice ♪ ♪ i know the name, that's what i'm saying ♪ -cologuard®? -cologuard. cologuard! -screen for colon cancer. -at home, like you want. -you the man! -actually, he's a box. cologuard is a one-of-a-kind way to screen for colon cancer that's effective and non-invasive. it's for people 45+ at average risk, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider for cologuard. ♪ i did it my way ♪

russia is a powerful country. russia decided to invade a smaller country called ukraine. so, basically, that's wrong. >> laura: oh my god. i forgot about that one. joining me now tulsi gabbard, former u.s. congresswoman, fox news contributor. now, tulsi, i'm thinking tonight, you're vladimir putin, okay? you are over there, and you got all your stuff going on. but you are watching this spectacle play out in the representative democracy of the united states of america with biden's people, you know, just caught flat footed on sunday. and now that woman is on deck. what are you thinking? >> i am more interested it, laura, in what the american people are thinking. i have been seeing headline after headline saying what is kamala harris' foreign policy going to be. and then you are reminded by these examples of how inexperienced and lacking of

knowledge and strength that she is. so, to answer that question. what kind of commander-in-chief will she be? what kind of foreign policy will she have? we simply need to look at the facts of what we have seen under the biden harris administration. they are not running our foreign policy. our foreign policy decisions are being made by unelected people in the military industrial complex who are profiting from us being in a constant state of war. and the national security state that has more power to undermine our freedoms and liberties when we are in a state of war. kamala harris does not have the strength to stand up to the military industrial complex and national security. she is going to continue being a figure head just like joe biden has been. and this is -- laura, this is where the clear choice is in this election. donald trump is strong, as commander-in-chief, he will take charge, he will stand up to the military industrial complex and national security state. he will prevent us from getting into unnecessary wars and make decisions that actually serve

the best interest of the american people and our own security. >> laura: we keep hearing about how great kamala is. how historic she is. but then we ask people on the street about it, tulsi. watch. >> what would you say she has accomplished as vice president? >> not a lot. not a lot, to be quite honest with you. if somebody knows they could tell me because i don't know. >> yeah. >> i actually don't know. um, i'm just going to put that out there. i have no idea. >> what has she accomplished? >> absolutely nothing. >> laura: well, look, i mean, she has some fans out there. at love independent voters will look at her, african-american women, i think will be very interested in this candidacy. but, it's the old puppet biden and the new puppet kamala. goodbye old puppet, hello new puppet. >> that's exactly right, laura. and i just really hope that people pay attention to the truth and, again, she actually does have a record over these past three and a half years as

part of the partner to president biden in this administration. you know, obviously the most glaring example is she was tasked with securing the border. she failed, completely at that task. and you look at every single example of what she could have done as vice president, and that she failed to do. failing to serve the interest of the american people, revealing, yet again, why we, the people, regardless of political party, we, the people should not allow her to be in this position as president and commander-in-chief. one in which she is clearly incapable of filling and would be very dangerous in that position. >> laura: tulsi, great to see you as always. thanks so much. coming up, we have new details on how the coup unfolded against biden and that's what former illinois governor rob rod iwill bloomberg.

>> laura: minds out there wondering how biden's ouster from the campaign actually engineered? according to politico nancy pelosi made clear that the bidens could do this the easy way or the hard way. she gave three weeks of the easy way and it was about to be the hohard way. joining us now rod blagojevich

former governor of illinois. rod, good to see you tonight. it sounds like she made biden an offer he couldn't refuse. >> well, it's funny she is not from chicago but there is a lot of chicago politics in what just happened to president biden: obama is an expert at it and he learned well. both obama and i came up in chicago politics. i have known him since 1995. we rose up together and then i was brought to ruin by that kind of politics. and it's the politics of lies. it's the politics of manipulation. it's the politics of back-stabbing and it all comes out of the back room. and, you know, today's new democrat political bosses are not the cigar chomping guy with the pinky ring. they are now, you know, impressive looking, appealing people like nancy pelosi and barack obama. because they did this to him. there's no question about it. i know exactly what they did and how they did it. i saw it coming weeks in advance. the only mistake i made was i thought biden would have the fortitude and backbone to resist that. and not quit.

but not everybody is like donald trump. >> laura: what do you think they might have said to him? they have known the polls have been pretty grim for a long time. so i'm not buying the we showed him a binder full of polls. i don't buy that i think there was something else involved here. when the obamas or the pelosi when they are involved. it's not a straightforward. >> well, whatever skeletons in the closet that joe biden has and my suspicion is he has got closets full because he has been in politics and been in washington since 1973. pelosi knows them and obama knows them of him they vetted him. they got all the dirt on biden and my questions is that that stuff was whispered to him. either directly or through third parties. probably whispered to jill biden. maybe even to the son. so on the one hand they used the stick, on the other hand they used the carrot. the carrot is probably all kinds of things that they promised him if he agreed to quietly step out and get out of the way and get

out of the race. what they did basically, laura, is they have committed a fraud on democratic voters. they made suckers out of the 14 million democrat primary voters who voted for biden. >> laura: kamala came out at biden headquarters. this is what she said. >> what kind of country do we want to live in? a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law? >> yes! >> or a country of chaos, fear and hated? >> no. >> laura: chaos, fear and hate. oh my good. that's painful. so, it's the same old -- it's what biden was saying, basically, right? it's no different. she is going to be 60 on election day and he would have been 81. >> the democrats today are the biggest hypocrites in american political history. this is the party that says they are running to save democracy yet they weaponized the department of justice to go after trump.

now biden was thrown out of office basically essentially told not to run being outrushed ma niewferred by obama in the back rooms and doing what they did to get him to step out and note run and disenfranchise the voters in the primaries who voted for him. they are the runs a threat to democracy. one of the reasons why it is critical for the american people to vote for president trump to stop this. particularly the weaponization. it's coming from a guy who was a democrat and the first governor to endorse obama back in 2008. we go way back together. i know what is at stake here. i know what they did to me. i see what they are doing to trump and i see how they are lying to the american people. >> laura: and mostly the american people are the ones that are really going to suffer if this thing goes forward. rod, thank you so much. appreciate it. what is joe biden's actual condition? raymond arroyo has answers.

but the absence of biden, at this moment, concerning. >> yeah, i will say. and you would think that the whitehouse, would have at least sent him out walking across the beach with one of those killer dogs of his. and then his brother, frank biden said this to cbs: >> he said, i am incredibly proud of my brother, selfishly i will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left, we asked him whether he feels that his overall health played a role in this decision, and he said, in my humble opinion, absolutely. >> listen to that line, laura. enjoy whatever time we have left. what does that mean? of course, the biden team came out and said that frank biden struggles with alcoholism. ignore whatever he had to say, it is untrue. but he called in, and said, why

can't we see joe biden. he is like the ghost of elections past. i hear you kid, i see you kid. that's not enough. he is the president. >> he was charlie out the angels. >> he would say, joe biden is the greatest president ever, and he would say, thank you, angels. >> the democratic reaction to joe biden ending his candidacy is very emotional, laura. >> what a man, what a patriot. what an active, selfish devotion. >> excuse me. >> i'm sorry. this was a difficult decision and, one that reflects the very best of who joe biden is. >> it is like when your grandpa, you have to take the keys, and you are like, i have to take his

keys, i have to take the keys. and he is fighting you and you finally get the keys back. >> he is still the commander and chief. >> before we send out the grief council, here are the same people days ago focussed on biden's poll numbers. >> the president is being given information about his political standing that may not be based in reality. >> our president is weighing what he should weigh, who is the best candidate to win in november. >> there are a lot of people that want to see him take a different course now. there is a different way forward if he will allow us to do that. >> well, he is allowing them to do it now laura. so it was all polls. if kamala harris's numbers don't improve, will she do the patriotic thing and move on as well? >> they will point to specific polls saying she is two points here, she is three points here. this is going to wave off. this is like the new tied.

the same pact of ingredients, but different packaging. >> whatever lingering questions there are about her candidacy, they tried to reassure the public that she is a brilliant woman. she is taking a page from a book when she says this: >> his playbook is unmatched in modern history. in one term -- yes, you may clap. donald trump in office on trade policy, you know he reminds me of the guy in the wizard of oz, when you pull back the curtain it is a really small dude? (laughter) the significance of the passage of time... so when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time. >> ai is kind of a fancy thing, first of all it is two letters, it means artificial intelligence. >> it is new tide, different

packaging, same policies. >> intelligence and a great order. you can accuse her of many things, i don't know if you can say that. we are going to see what condition joe biden is in. there was a palace coup and he was going to be removed if he didn't step aside. this is really scary he is the sitting president of the united states. >> well barack obama is the smartest person out there in politics. the smartest democrat in politics not of all time. but he is really smart, we will see what he does next. but he had his hand in this. raymond, great to see you as always. that's it for us tonight. thank you for watching. remember, it is america, now and forever, these are interesting times. jesse watters takes at all from here.
