maria: we heard from former attorney general bill barr, and bill barr told fox news digital this the democratic have to stop grossly irresponsible talk about trump being existential threat to democracy he is not the media picked it up gone viral is that part of the reason you have crazies thinking they can shoot off at the a rally. >> my guess that contributes, see if you are a democrat you love this country all i listen to is mainstream media or political figuring you hear time and time again donald trump is going to denied democracy as we know it you want to make sure that did not happen is that going through minds of assassin? >> no again we do need to turn down rhetoric, one question if president biden is truly sincere about this beef up security for president trump are they giving security to rfk, jr.? i think a will scandal in and of itself denied it is gross. maria: i agree rfk, jr., family faced death he is begging for security detail he won't get it from the democrats, even president trump has among smallest secret service detail isn't that right. >> we will see how many req

rat what bill barr said i thought it was really important.l barr hasn't had a friendship with trump, saying as independent said democrats have to stop grossly irresponsible talk about trump being existential threat to democracy. he is not said bill barr basically what you are speaking to in this op-ed; correct? >> no question about it as a matter of fact and you got so well if you keep saying that somebody is existential threat to democracy resurrection next hitler, you are creating sort inflammatory language can tip unstable 20-year-old somebody else on the edge into take okay whats wouldn't go back if a time machine in history killed young have it already stopped what happen in holocaust world war ii what do you put out isn't rhetoric from a few activists that appears on social media this was coming from at it atlanta, cover had 1932 picture of hitler propaganda, this is coming from msnbc, a week before shooting took place tell me who i have to vote for to stop next have it already this is from -- you are hearing from top operatives from de

>> i agree with former attorney general bill barr.tus decision is a decision for all former presidents. it is not specific to former president donald trump. the decision is very clear, neil. official acts, three sets. two official acts, there are absolute immunity and qualified immunity for two different types of official ab acts. if an act is unofficial, there is no immunity from prosecution. so any sort of criminal activity that's outside of the scope of the executive branch of government is not immune from criminal prosecution. it's very direct, very well reasoned -- neil: well, it might well be, rebecca, but here's my problem with that. i'm not a lawyer or as smart as you are on this stuff, but it could take years for lawyers to debate a private act a versus an official act. the president, or a former president is going to say, well, that was an official act. it wasn't a private act. and back and forth we go. and that is in with democrats pounced on the idea that donald trump seems to be hinting at revenge when he gets back in off

and that's where i think bill barr is wrong on what trump is going to do. he is going to try to use the justice department to seek retribution against his enemies. >> this was the fascinating part of this where they're saying that any communications he had with the justice department were official acts and therefore, they don't even get into that. they were like that's off limits. and i was just thinking when then acting attorney general, jeff rosen was was testifying about part of this. he talked all the pressure campaign that he faced from donald trump after bill barr left. this is part of what he said that would not be able to be used in court based on what the supreme court found today. >> so between december 23 and january 3rd, the president either called me, are met with me virtually every day at one point, he had raised the question of having a special counsel for election fraud at a number of points he raised requests that i meet with his campaign counsel, mr. giuliani, one of the later junctures was this issue of sending a letter to state legislatu

he talked out the pressure campaign that he faced from donald trump after bill barr left. this is part of what he said that would not be able to be used in court based on what the supreme court found today. >> so between december 23 and january 3rd, the president either called me, are met with me virtually every day at one point, he had raised the question of having a special counsel sulphur election fraud at a number of points he raised requests that i meet with his campaign council, mr. giuliani, one of the later junctures was this issue of sending a letter to state legislatures in georgia or other states that part is interesting because trump wanted to get rid of him and put another loyalist in charge of the doj to actually who was willing to send that letter? >> yeah. when geoff rosen's case, that's sure. trump had lost the election. that's when he suddenly stood up to it. and when trump was still contesting the election, both he and bill barr tried to stop publication of my book, knowing that it had been cleared in the pre-publication review process. and i think decei

bill barr last night with jesse. >> the thrust of the democratic narrative for this election year had mortal danger to our democracy and if he wins the country is going away. they demonized him calling him hitler, a racist, fascist and so forth. it's ridiculous. he is not the threat to democracy that they are portraying. >> dana: that was former attorney general bill barr weighing on the left's anti-trump rhetoric before the shooting. trey gowdy, former press secretary for president trump kayleigh mcenany and juan williams. trey, i haven't had a chance to hear your thoughts yet. as bill says it's 41 hours removed from that moment. >> a couple of things. two of which are hard to do simultaneously, grieve and be grateful. grieve for the loss but be grateful it wasn't worse and gather fact and information. nature ab horse a vacuum. we want to fill it in with speculation and con geck sure. there are facts. we have to be patient. the dominant take away, we were inches a way for our republic. inches a way from a significant stress test. every time something like this happens, whether it's s

. >> before you go i -- i do want you to listen before we run to former ag bill barr, who has not been a fan very critical of his former boss donald trump, but listen to we said about this decision. >> i think this was a very -- sensible signatures most lawyers familiar with this expected absolute immunity under the constitutional carrying out function under comulgs presumptive immunity when he performs official act the government has the burden of showing that it can prosecute for that without airbag executive function no immunity for unofficial or private acts. the presidency is protected, any presidency final thoughts. >> it always has been judge roberts makes very clear traditions in the doctrines lasted as long as our republic. cheryl: matt whitaker a pleasure to speak with you thank you for being here. >> thank you, cheryl. cheryl: all right. we'll be right back, everybody. . ad, meh?

you sued the former attorney general bill barr and other federal officials in 2021. your lawsuit was for damages and it was dismissed and upheld by an appeals court. but obviously you're hopeful that this is going to clear a hurdle for the supreme court to get in front of them as you know, michael, it's difficult for americans to sue federal law enforcement officials so i just am curious. tell me why you think and why you're hopeful. this one will succeed in what world is it acceptable that a citizen should be unconstitutionally remanded and that you cannot sue the government for unconstitutionally we violating your rights. >> it just doesn't it makes absolutely no sense on top of that, the thing that all of the viewers today have to be very, very careful and they have to be very cognizant of is what happens now. post the supreme court's decision on presidential immunity. kaitlan, what's to stop the president or god forbid, 1 million times donald trump, if he wins the white house again, from turning around saying, you know, i didn't like kaitlan. what you'd said and

and that's where i think bill barr is wrong on what trump is going to do. he is going to try to use the justice department to seek retribution against his enemies this was the fascinating part of this where they're saying that any communications he had with the justice department were official acts and therefore, that's they can even get into that. >> they were like that's off limits. and i was just thinking when then acting attorney general, jeff rosen was testifying about part of this, he talked out the pressure campaign that he faced from donald trump after a billboard left. this is part of what he said that would not be able to be used in court based on what the supreme court found today. >> so between december 23 and january 3rd, the president either called me, are met with me virtually every day at one point, he had raised the question of having a special counsel for election fraud at a number of points. he raised requests that i meet with his campaign counsel, mr. giuliani, one of the later junctures was this issue of sending a letter to state legisl

can they claim executive privilege and say mike pence is off the table, bill barr is off the table when the supreme court is opening the door to ask the judge about conversations with precisely those same people? >> look, i would expect the slow types of roadblocks to be raised. often during the grand jury process there were those decisions that arose and were resolved with the justice department. it would be probably a harder sell to get attorney general barr on the stand at this point given the supreme court's holding about how trump's immune from any prosecution for those interactions with doj, and then the separate unfortunate ruling that the justice department cannot introduce immunized conduct even if the case for the underlying conduct concerns unofficial conduct. so i think a fair reading of the opinion or at least a conservative reading if you're the justice department would suggest maybe bill barr is now off-limits, but of course there are many other people as we learned from the january 6th committee who were telling trump his election claims were false. >> with when you talk

if suggests maybe bill barr is off limits.ng trump that his claims of election fraud were false. so, i don't think he is an essential witness for that purpose, at least. >> when you talk about what is happening with the justice department, can you imagine, i mean i know i am asking you to telegraph in a situation you don't happen to be in, but would you imagine that the special counsel's office is trying to trim this indictment so as to not drag out the proceedings even further or? just wait and march to the time line wherever it is laid out? >> i am sure they are discussing that seriously. there are pros and cons. the pro to like filing a superseding indictment would be in theory you can sort of wipe the slate. trim the environment, file it in a way that is with the supreme court holding. the conis that you would be inviting a new round of motions. motion to dismiss. argue, reset the litigation, reschedule. and the other thing that i would add it is not totally unprecedented for portions of the justice department indictment t

he is not, says bill barr. president trump posted this on truth social, saying he's actually rewriting his rnc speech to put the focus on unity, writing unite america in his latest truth social post. the biden campaign will begin running their trump attack ads again today after pausing them after the assassination attempt. right after. but they're about to renew those. former first lady melania trump calls to as ascend above the ha. sshe says we all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first and love train transcends. we must insist respect fills the cornerstone of our relationship again. a lot of high praise for the former first lady's commentary after the atempt at an assassination. let my bring in the panel. tricia, mahek and cheryl are with me this morning. president trump's statement followed by melania's statement as well -- >> melania's statement was beautiful. i think also spoke to the humanity of donald trump and the trump family which so often the media tries to villainize and dehumanize

bill barr came out and said the same thing. take a look at what actually happens.: politically, you could seize on this and do a lot with this opportunity. is this an opportunity to lower the temperature or leverage it to win the election? >> i have been saying this for literally two or three years now. the fact we are a divided nation is a real threat to this country. it is a threat to individuals. you have a 50-year-old father of two, wonderful person, tragically died. two other people grievously wounded. because of politics? on most things, people truly do agree. we will disagree over exactly what the solution is to address a particular problem. but we are all trying to create a better country, create opportunity, create a safe environment. let's focus on those areas. kailey: what is the role of congress in the aftermath of analyzing how what happened yesterday happened? i know the chair of the oversight committee in the house is looking to have the director of the secret service testified next week. others have put forward legislation regarding security details

bill barr said terrible things about trump and his post is what it is. other people or maybe political disagreements, there's a lot of examination of the things you are right, i watched what was said last night. >> disgusting. it was disgusting. to say donald trump is hitler, making him look like hitler, a rapist, all the things they said including last night. >> stay right there. >> this will continue. >> stay right there among our guests at the top of the next hour because coverage continues but this is

that statement from bill barr and the fox digital just now. thirtshanno3shannon: will take x news conservators guy benson and charlie hurt. guy, you heard the former ag said we've got to turn down the temperature. >> yes, that is going to be, a think a theme that's going to play out be repeated in different ways in the coming days. we are still screwed to wait to get all the facts and for that smart to do a bit on the faces as horras horrifying as we were replaying the incident in real time several seconds into the chaos in the melee there's a bloodcurdling scream from a woman that just shows you to the core. the terror, the horror and at a campaign rally for man running for president. this is no place in our country you zoom out for a moment think about the volatility we already faced in american politics. all the legal issues surrounding president trump, the type of a roderick the former attorney general just alluded to in the statement we read, the turmoil with their likely nominee and some of the drama there. we're heading into a conventio

mcmaster, former secretary of state rex tillerson, john kelly, former attorney general bill barr, allhat donald trump is not fit to serve. why, in your view, are all of those men wrong? dr. carson: i think they are looking more at the person and at the personality and not so much at what he was able to accomplish. i would say it is akin to if you were patient with a terrible disease that required a good surgeon. would you rather have the one who has terrible bedside manner and saves everybody or the one with the sweetest words who kills everybody? geoff: what is your assessment of donald trump as a person and his personality? dr. carson: his personality is similar to what you would see in a manhattan businessman. somebody who lives in a doggy dog world, where -- dog eat dog world where you take no prisoners and rise to the top. geoff: the trump campaign says it is making a major play for the black vote. they are micro-targeting urban black men between the ages of 18 and 34. help us understand what that effort looks like. dr. carson: well, i don't know that there is a gigantic effort o

i have only covered her -- and this is where -- you watched her dismantle bill barr. list of application v accomplishments together and if you can put on it destroyed bill barr, made fun of mike pence and the fly on his head without saying a word, and have hit the campaign trail with enough vigor to carry the whole ticket for the last 16 tickets. she's ready. >> absolutely right. i've written about it, i've talked about it. and what concerns me and goes back to your point about signs of strength, the party can do this. the party can do this. they can fight this fight. they can push back. project 2025 -- i've been saying since the beginning i'm with joe biden. as long as he's in, i'm in. there's no question in my mind. >> should he be in? >> if he wants to stay in he should stay in. he's got 3,896 delegates and he said come take them. i'm not going to be one to suggest he should go do that. and if we go back just for a quick second to project 2025, because this is where if donald trump wants to distance himself from it the person that we're talking about, j.d. vance, i

rachel: brooke sigman spoke with former attorney general bill barr who told them the democrat have to stop the talk about trump being an ex sen ex e shale threat to -- existential threat to democracy. he is not. >> if that's the premise, you have nothing else to run on. will they be so irresponsible to continue that kind of rhetoric? >> yes. >> i fear you're probably right. our next guest knows about political violence, steve ska se scalise was shot at a baseball practice. you have a unique special perspective, the spector of political violence is always there and it can be what people say that encourage an environment where it actually happens. >> yeah, absolutely. and what brian said is right too. i mean, everybody's got to look at the rhetoric but it's one side that is going after donald trump in a way to demonize him personally. when we talk about the policies of the democrats and the pro are dress i'ves, -- progressives it's the policies that need to be front and center. the left seems to have targeted donald trump as a person. they don't talk about -- they talk about how they do

and i am thinking back to her taking apart bill barr in questioning.s is a position that she is very, very, very effective at and sort of the way in that speech that we listened to, the way the speech mike memoli talked about, her ability to prosecute a case against trump and trumpism, very powerful. >> she's been the leading voice on reproductive freedom since the dobbs decision. having kamala harris on this ticket is so incredibly important and powerful. having her be the voice and the lead on prosecuting this case against donald trump as the person who decimated reproductive freedom, right? appointed the super majority of activist justices who have gutted our freedoms. kamala is so incredibly compelling. she's such an incredible asset to this ticket. i also want to point out, that was a launch event for asian-americans and the base of this coalition is women and people of color. she is not only embodying that, the enthusiasm, that's her base. that's her community. it's just so important to get her out there with the people who are really driving the

bill barr is and she carved him up in the senate judiciary committee. absolutely. cardinal. right now, i guaranteed you donald trump than know whether the scratches, watch or wind is been okay. he has no idea what's about to come. this woman is going to put him on trial and she's already got the frame. i first met her. she was a local prosecutor california running for attorney general, and she had this great stump speech. she's say my proudest moment is when i walk into a courtroom and i look at that, judge and say, your honor, on her kamala harris, for the people, well, there's her slogan and she's going to say, trump is for himself. i'm for the people. >> trump is for himself and i'm sure she's just going to she's going to tear into him and i just can't as a democrat cannot wait. >> this is why i think you're seeing so much enthusiasm david urban, i want to play something that was said by former republican presidential candidate governor nikki haley in january. take a listen the first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this electio

bill barr, bill barr, said there was no evidence of fraud.if you think of this delusional and desperate but very strategic attempt to somehow turn the tables on the democrats, to depict them as the real threat to democracy as part of big lie 2.0. and it is the first iteration of the big lie, was used to justify everything from baseless lawsuits to the deadly violence that we saw on january 6. this new version is no different but perhaps more dangerous. washington post reports that a heritage foundation staffer said this, quote, the exercise would lead heritage to file more litigation over election procedures. he also said it should help the public resist, quote, psychological operations, he claims were being used in 2020 and again. and he didn't say who ran the operations. the upshot is that we'll see a contested election the likes of which we've never seen. if we see the kind of manipulations we saw in 2020, i wonder if average americans who are supporters of donald trump will swallow that so easily as this he did in 2020. the idea that trum

and they cited bill barr and it was during that hearing that you saw the justice department team during a break came back and said, well, there is an example from when bill barr was a senior official before the trump admin this ration that he did appoint a special counsel that was not a senate confirmed officials. so you what you hear there is sort of like a long-running dispute, really, that judge cannon has latched down to what lashawn to that pretty much most of the judges have not. i mean, this is an argument that we've seen being raised is in a number of cases all the way you know, paul manafort raised this. of course, hunter biden brought it up in both of these cases, both of his cases so what this does set up is a obviously on appeal that we expect that the special counsel has no choice but to try to appeal this to the 11th circuit, which has you know, dealt pretty strongly with some of judge cannon's previous jurisprudence. so we expect that that's going to happen, but, but the bottom line is obviously that takes a lot of time and the alternative here for the justice department

barr because nobody likes him is be want to be impartial as this just too many coincidences we see ittv the conspiracy fares but laid out the plato we don't up to it just watch the first question i want his ways a highly trained elite secret service agent who is a woman at the front there incapable of whole string the gun better than me and i hate guns how does that happen? >> you never know if your flight or fight until you are in that moment and you can be the most trained badass 6'10 [ bleep ] head to ever lift the weight the first time he gets it he turns into a 2-year-old and runs away you just never know for some people it's just not in them. good for trying. >> this is the secret service. >> this is there secret service. >> we have to move on. >> the media act like sheep heaping love on the v.

that case in florida, we had peepole this network telling us it was slam dunk, we had bill barr.now where these people practice law at the appellate level with landmark legal foundation thats of involved. attorney general was involved in the case and they are repres representatives from the reagan justice department. they had a major presence in the courtroom, petehutchison and matt, aren't tv personalities. trump's lives have done superb job. what this judge said and this could be seminole opinion. look, constitution does not authorize misappointment, he was not nominated to be confirmed by the senate. there was a long debate about this and merrick garland blew it away. then congress has power to create the position by statutes, it has done so to enable a cabinet secretary to delegate power and did not do so with the department of justice. there is no budget for this man spending millions and millions of dollars and congress can fund the office. those three constitutional points, you would think a former federal appellate judge, attorney general of the united states would appeal

. >> the follow bill barr on the language standards.n, what i want to ask you to sort of build on is how doubled down? the trump campaign slogan is make america great again. they have conceded the war about the future. their campaign is about going back to something again. he's more extreme. he's more committed to the ideas in project 2025. he has said out loud things that donald trump hapt hasn't said that women should stay in marriages even if they are happy and violent. they are technical points, they are wedded to a slogan about going backward. they are wedded to a vice presidential nominee who is more extreme and dated than even the person at the top of the ticket. >> that's why you're seeing in the first few days of kamala harris's campaign the not going back line in the stunt speech that's really resinating with voters. they are saying it along with her. they have been covering the entry into national politics. what we're seeing is a kamala harris that's so much more confident and comfortable in her own skin, so much clearer in h

it is something he did under the attorney general, bill barr.nk it will only be worse under project 2025. it is really something that is amazing to somebody who knows the rule of law. >> we all remember my generals and my justice department, gym call me trying to hide himself into the curtains and blend himself into the wall to avoid donald trump. and now he is laying it all out again. thank you for being here. when we return donald trump and a week out from the rnc and we will get into it all when the 11th hour continues. can see and. the fingerprints we leave behind show how determined we are to give the world a piece of ourselves. etsy. sara federico: at st. jude, we don't care who cures cancer. we just need to advance the cure. the heart of st. jude is to take care of children with catastrophic diseases and to advance their cure rates. but we need to be able to do that for everyone. it's a bold initiative, to try and bump cure rates all around the world. but we should. it is our commitment. [music playing] oh, my leaffilter? i just scheduled

former attorney general, bill barr, told me democrats need to scale back dangerous rhetoric about trump. >> they demonized him calling adolf hitler, a racist, and a fascist and so forth. it is ridiculous. he is not the threat to democracy they portray. he was present for four years and he carried out excellent policies. it was all done lawfully. >> carley: meanwhile, whoever former president trump picks as his running mate is expected to address the convention here on wednesday but this week already scheduled senator marco rubio were, j.d. vance, nor the governor doug burgum to speak so those three have been considered as top contender and we will see who the former president picks very soon, guys. >> carley: it is going to be a remarkable week, brooke, thank you so much. florida congressman cory mills, congressman, good morning to you. so much to get to with you. but let's start with the president's oval office address last night. it was the third time he made this kind of speech during his time as president on the and he is calling for the temperature to be turned down. listen to thei

a conservative reading would suggest that maybe bill barr is off limits. were many other people that were telling trump's claims were false. i don't think he is an essential witness. >> when you talk about what is happening, do you imagine, i'm -- . would you imagine that the special counsel's office is trying to preemptively trim this indictment so as not to drag out the proceedings any further or are they just going to wait and march to the timeline? >> i am sure they are discussing that. there are pros and cons. the pro would be in theory, you can wipe the slate and trim the indictment. the con, he would invite a new round of motions. motion to dismiss or even reset the schedule. it is not unprecedented for portions of the justice department indictment to be dismissed or for portions to be stricken. the justice department does not need a superseding indictment. they can redact the portions of the indictment that the jury cannot consider or they can just not present the indictment to the jury and just present the evidence. >> there are some options. it i

it is interesting because bill barr makes the point, whoever that person is this is what's going to happennd she will pack the court in this is what happens in washington. that is certainly the goal is court packing whether you add judges or a system with an ex-president who she presumably is helping is her gets to nominate more judges that might be expected i had to remind her 1937 fdr proposes this was not met with sweeping popularity and what are the things that we can point to and say fdr was wrong about this, to be fair the rollout of kamala harris has been pretty good this far from a political operative standpoint and i think this is going to be the first rake that are campaign steps on now she has to justify why she, kamala harris and not donald trump as they claim is a real threat to democratic institutions that have long been of the norm in our country. by the way this is also about finding a fun little thing to joe to talk about so he can be offstage the next couple of months i saw his speech he was fired up about the issue, this is one of the things that he can rant about maggie

former attorney general bill barr added this. >> the practical effect of this is that the district court have done at the beginning and which the government should have had it do. do the analysis so the facts are going up to the supreme court. so as a practical matter there won't be a trial of this case before the election. >> dagen: we learned just this hour that manhattan district attorney alvin bragg has written to judge juan merchan saying that he is not opposed to postponing president trump's sentencing in his new york criminal trial and conviction. right now that's still set for next thursday, july 11th. leo terrell, attorney and fox news contributor is here. leo, what do you make of all of this? >> what i make of all of this. the supreme court got it right. it is a great day for the rule of law and we are turning away from being a ban an an republic. this wasn't a ruling just for trump. you correctly stated it. it is a ruling to protect the office of the presidency from weaponization by the judicial system and by others who want to go after a former president. let me be very clear

. >> bill barr writes on foxnews.com this that the growing threat behind biden's supreme court proposalhe goes onto explain what he is saying basically he -- they are targeting alito thomas, with term limits idea also says the supreme court is only branch of government that stand in the way of one party rule. >> well, i mean if you look at the way system was set up about the pour, checks and balances judiciary is the third branch, basically what we're seeing here is they don't like decisions this court made going to change the court. the same way they don't like decisions that democrat nominating process went through. so they changed that to get vice president harris to be their nominee. to me this is not just court packing this is just -- uh -- a way to divert attention i think away from the a real issues of this campaign which are policies of the biden-harris campaign, and their administration. but honestly i think this smacks of arrogance in my view you don't like a decision so you are going to change the court. that is not how it working here. >> i have to point out i don't even rec

barr.ould say second time attorney general. supposedly, he was the one who helped murdoch rewrite this trust. what do you make of that? >> it is remarkable. a key player in the trump white house and close to murdoch. that's the thing , to blow up the trust. murdoch agreed to a decade ago when it was a big battle in one of his former divorces. he just got remarried again. death comes for us all and he wants to ensure his son lachlan remains a charge whether he succeeds will have a big impact on the future, not just of fox news but of mega-media. fox is the beating heart of the pro-trump media. whatever happens in this courtroom will have huge consequences. spam gambling in reno. thank you. >>> you know how i'm going to close the show tonight. olympics, olympics, olympics. we are only three days into this year and we are going to hear from some of team usa's biggest fans. what is cirkul? cirkul is what you hope for when life tosses lemons your way. cirkul is your frosted treat with a sweet ki

it is something that he did under attorney general bill barr, and i think it's only going to be worse on the project 2025, and that is really something that is anathema to anyone who believes in the rule of law. >> we all remember my generals, my justice department, jim called me trying to hide himself in the curtains and blend into the wall to avoid donald trump and now he's laying it all out again. hugo lowell, andrew weissman, thank you both for being here tonight. >>> friend we return, donald trump dangling the big reveal of his running mate less than a week out from the rnc. week out from the rnc. i'm andrea, and this is why i switched to shopify. it gave me so much peace of mind. if we make a change, my site's not going to go down. and just knowing that i have a platform that we can rely on, that is gold to us. start your free trial today. >>> we are less than one week away from the rnc and donald trump is teasing the reveal of his running mate again and axe's reports all of the recent attention on president biden and the democrats could have an impact on trump's decision. axial

it is new -- this is former attorney general bill barr with no financing claims from the -- that they phishing take a listen the president has the ability to defend the country against foreign enemies, armed conflict and so forth. em g. do during the experiment. >> charles: we've run out of time, i have to get a quick answer from both of you. -- this is crazy. >> look at. i think the form -- former attorney general has a point for me just because the president says i am going to do an official act and just -- that something is clearly not illegitimate official act doesn't immunize himself from the kitchen. any judges will play a reasonableness county we'll apply rationality probably will not look the other way and for president going around assassinating his bloodied opponent saying somehow or well there is an official act so he gets to go scott free. sold -- evening of that way. >> charles: that's all the time we have. rebecca, tom, inc. you very much, have a great forth. meanwhile the mass for cash is on account of joe biden and donald trump were britt -- reporting you -- plus a new

barr gets it, somebody and nobody likes and then we will just stick to the law. >> jesse: people likeve him. i'm just saying both sides will have issues. because the truth of this, the american people, those who were there on the ground, they have already solved this riddle and we are getting pieces and pieces, and those local police officers, they tried to throw under the bus, if it wasn't for them climbing the side, president rupp would be dead, so it's always funny how you want to dump it on the locals but you are the best of the best of the locals should have been learning from you. thank god we had local police officers there that were ramming gates and climbing walls and risking their life, so let's are member that. i'm about to cuss, so i'm going to stop. >> jesse: let's not do that. >> tyrus: it's hard enough to slouch with how little this chair is. [laughter] >> jesse: just don't break it. you know who showed a lot of restraint? to tyrus' point, the president. he could be saying on television right now, the biden-harris and ministries in a most got me killed, and he hasn't sa

i have had a lot of folks call me and say, this reminds me of bill barr and kamala and you played thatlip. the combo of the president and the vice president, it's powerful. what's next for us is getting back to the issues. one thing i thought was really promising, despite all the noise of the last two weeks, project 2025 is the most googled subject right now. there's a lot of cultural influencers talking about it during the b.e.t. awards. that's penn traiting public consciousness. this is critical because we have been talking about something that you have worked in the administration. it's a blueprint. how many americans talk about that. so the fact that we're getting through because of how dystopian it is, but also it's a sign that folks remember how bad the trump years were. we have to get the focus back what's going to unite us is our issues. what's going to unite us is focusing on what we can fight back together. the aspirational hope of building back our democracy. we only get to do that with four more years of kamala harris and joe biden. >> thank you both for having this convers

bill barr on what this could all mean for the country. >> we're going to do long-term institutional ated states. and i think the supreme court's doing just the opposite. i think they're protecting our institutions and the processes we have against being disfigured by the passions of the moment. >> reporter: now, that's not all. house democratic leader hakeem jeffries is also promising that democrats will come back and engage in, quote, aggressive oversight and legislative activity to bring those far-right justices, in his words, into compliance with the constitution. over in the senate, ashley, some angry democrats there are calling these justices politicians in robes. and and senate judiciary chairman dick durbin blasting chief justice roberts in specific here for not forcing justices alito and thomas to recuse themselves. he's also saying he's going to continue to pursue this democratic ethics bill they really want a vote on. it would require scotus to adopt a binding and enforce enforceable code of ethics. back to aoc's impeachment articles. remember, this is just going to be for s

bill barr what it could all mean. >> we will do long-term institutional damage to the united states and i think the supreme court is doing just the opposite. they are protecting our institutions and the processes we have against being disfigured by the passions of the moment. >> that's not it. house democratic leader hakeem jeffries is promising democrats engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity to bring, quote, those far-right justices into compliance with the constitution and over in the senate, sandra, some very angry democrats are calling these justices politicians in robes and senate judiciary chairman dick durbin is blasting chief justice roberts for not forcing justices alito and thomas to recuse themselves saying he will continue to push this ethics bill put forward by democrats that requires the supreme court to adopt a binding and enforceable code of ethics. more drama to come when congress returns to capitol hill. >> dana: disturbing video showing the moment a group of migrants attacks and robs a commuter in chicago. all four suspects about to appear in court a

. >> sandra: attorney general bill barr posted an op-ed on foxnews.com warning if this coup succeeds the rule of law will be over. the judiciary will become little more than a political tool of whomever holds power. >> john: big news as we begin our second hour. i'm john roberts in washington. >> sandra: here we go. i'm sandra smith in new york. this is america reports. biden is calling to impose term limits on justices among other changes. reporters trying to ask him more as he left the white house but he did not come close enough to hear his answer. >> can harris be trump? can harris be trump? can you come closer sir? we can't hear you. can harris beat trump? >> john: chopper talk has its challenges. democrats challenge with the supreme court is going after high-profile decisions that they disagree with politically. >> our most fundamentally held freedoms are under attack from an illegitimate far right united states supreme court. >> we have a supreme court that is actively undermining our democracy. >> this court said yes, you are a king and we are the king's hand and together the

the whole bucket of election integrity, as bill barr would say, bull shit. >> it's total bull shit.sts. one part of the republican party in many states is saying send in early ballots. we want you to use vote by mail. they see the advantage of the convenience of people -- and the voting by mail is very secure. many states have done it for a long, long time. and voters really like it. they do match signatures. it's not that people can just stuff ballot boxes, that's total fantasy. so you know, at the same time they're discouraging their voters to use the easiest tools available to vote which hurts them, and then they're also trying to prepare to unfairly steal an election if they have to. >> nick, those efforts are on overdrive. they've been scaled across 48 states. talk about how they work together, though, the voter suppression is sort of stage one. certification -- >> yeah, it's -- as we lay out in the story, a lot of these lawsuits that we're seeing now challenging different parts of the electoral process, you know, trying to change laws, trying to either shave off different marg

everything they said before yesterday was to quote bill barr bullshit. no respect for president.gs they said in their own hearings. they also couldn't give a single example of any president that had ever been reigned in from what they described as bold things. and yet, they gave this ex-president absolute immunity. >> that's exactly, to me, that is the focal point. is that it provides a lens for the media, the public to say wait a minute. these plans which seemed fantastic, illegal, maybe the checks or guardrails we thought behind in place that would make them to make it no longer fuel for right wing media, but actually become something we all deal with. it seems more likely now as a result of that supreme court decision because what they basically did was take away at best a lot of assumptions peope had. even mitch mcconnell had the assumption because when he said i'm not supporting impeachment here, there's a criminal justice system that could take care of donald trump if he had done illegal stuff in the last few weeks of the election. what that supreme court decision did at be

i will never forget her questioning of sue to be attorney general bill barr and talking to him about, you know, his enforcement of reproductive rights. or brett kavanaugh about reproductive rights. she had a way of exposing the absurdity of the administration that was determined to do what they could to undermine women's reproductive rights. she is effective and i think america is going to get a masters class coming up in the selection about how someone deals with donald trump who has been, in many ways, able to get away with, in debates and more, with behavior and lies and really, nobody pressing him hard on his own record and his failures and, frankly, criminal activity. >> we saw when we saw that, and when she gave the speech today at the campaign headquarters. part of her stump speech, a lot of people haven't seen it before, saw how she is going to prosecute the case against trump so you, as i understand it, you played a role in actually encouraging her to run for senate which means you must have seen something in her that many years ago when she was still the attorney general of

this is after bill barr left the department. you remember december 7th of 2000 he told the associated press that there was not enough fraud to change the outcome of the election. fast forward weeks later, trump is trying to put pressure on his own justice department to ignore those facts and to work around the law. that's what's really disturbing to me about this, that those type of conversations can now not be a part of this indictment. >> i have been listening to you all day, chuck. i get the sense that you think this is not the free pass some think it is. >> sorry you've had to listen to me all day, chris. >> my pleasure. >> nobody should be saddled with that. this is not a good decision for the prosecutors, but i don't think it's the end of the world. it makes sense to me that some core constitutional responsibilities of the president are off limits or are immune. it makes sense that purely private conduct of a president is within limits, not immune. that makes sense. the difficulty is that other category, that third bucket,

bill barr said terrible things about trump and his post is what it is. other people or maybe political disagreements, there's a lot of examination of the things you are right, i watched what was said last night. >> disgusting. it was disgusting. to say donald trump is hitler, making him look like hitler, a rapist, all the things they said including last night. >> stay right there. >> this will continue. >> stay right there among our guests at the top of the next hour because coverage continues but this is a fox news alert, it is 10:00 on the east coast and this is where we have developments still pouring in from tonight assassination attempt against former president donald j trump. take a look, this is an image we will never forget. donald trump thank god, alive and well but less than an inch away from losing his life tonight. this could have been within a millimeter away from a different program tonight. sadly, one person attending the rally is dead tonight. many others seriously injured. let's be clear, our prayers are with all of them and their famili

you heard the former attorney general, bill barr, saying that is a problem, that the former presidents not a threat to democracy and those words are, in his words, barr's words, are spurring on some of this vitriol. on the other side, you know, they're saying the former trump supporters need to tone it down as well. you know, i think there will be this call for a dialing it back, and the question is how does it directly affect this campaign. heading into this convention, you guys know the trump campaign was characterizing it as strength versus weakness. and that's how they were going to kind of present this pitch to the american people. i think that that's still going to be, obviously, a theme. but if it takes the tone of the former first lady, melania trump, in her letter and then you add that image of the former president with his fist up in the moments after he's shot, it's just very powerful. and we'll see how it translates to independent voters in particular. most importantly, they're worried about the families of the people that were killed and the ones that are in critical cond
