molly wall -- molly ball. _ was this bad. molly wall -- molly ball, wall— was this bad. journal, really good have you reporting. thank you. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. in northern ireland, a judge has ruled there is sufficient evidence for the former leader of the democratic unionist party, sirjeffrey donaldson, to face trial on historical sexual offence charges. sirjeffrey now faces 18 charges involving two alleged victims, including rape, gross indecency, and indecent assault. he appeared in court with his wife, who's also been charged — she faces five charges of aiding and abetting, in connection with the alleged offences. sirjeffrey has said he will strenuously contest the charges. the daughter and son—in—law of captain sir tom moore have been banned from being charity trustees. hannah ingram—moore and her husband colin were disqualified amid an ongoing inquiry by the charity commission into the captain tom foundation. the charity was set up in honour of sir tom who raised £38 million for the nhs

welcome to all of you molly ball. it seems like the president yesterday did. he had a better day? hey, than some of his other days and that he had this he had this letter. he did. we played a little bit of that interview that he did on morning joe had this call with the cbc. there seems to be some shoring up of support there, but he still has high-profile tests looming this week. i'm just wondering what your latest reporting is on where this where this stands and the level of pressure the president is facing right now well, i think i think that interests ended up well, actually, which is that the party is divided and that for a lot of people, a lot of democrats is the worst-case scenario of people were hoping to get through this one way or another without having the party at odds. >> but now you do have these warring camps emerging where there is a group that is saying let's stop arguing think about this. he said he wants to stay in and it's his decision. and other groups still hoping that they can get to him still feels and i think it's concentrated in the senate in particular we

johning me now molly ball, senior political correspondent with "the wall street journal."nks for being here. president biden as we noted about to meet with democratic governors on the same day he called schumer, pelosi, and clyburn. and then he also held that all-hands call with his campaign. molly, i have to ask is this just a hammer looking for a nail here in the way this is being covered? when you look at these specific events is it too much in the vacuum of debate reaction? >> i think people are still reacting to the debate in part the white house hasn't given them a lot to react to. the president has only appeared a few times in public. he's gone to some fund raisers, but it's been almost a week and he's just now making these calls to top members of congress and to members of the democratic party who really feel his candidacy is in an urgent state of crisis. there's a feeling that has been building over the last few days as i've been speaking to people both lawmakers and people at all levels of the party, a feeling of frustration and even anger that the white house ha

let's bring in molly ball, "wall street journal" senior political correspondent.hanks for being with us, molly. >> happy to be here. >> gillian: let's start here. this reporting from "the wall street journal," in your piece, molly, i will call you back to yourself. the headline is "the inevitability of biden's reckoning. biden's best hope now might be that so many voters already harbored misgivings at his competence so the debate doesn't really phase them but confirms what they already suspected and moved past as they way which ticket seems like the lesser evil." this makes sense to the degree that not everybody is a news junkie, not everybody is watching cable news like we are 24 hours a day. if you don't watch biden when he gives the public remarks that he does, you might not be clued into what his status. >> i think it's the opposite. what we seen in polls for more than a year now is that voters doubted biden's capabilities, doubted whether he could do the job despite his age, much more than the democratic elites and the people around the president, and so the

bill crystal and molly ball, i want to thank both of you for joining us. tonight we also have a special report where i'm going to dig into understanding what we do know and what happened about this terrible security lapse and what happened at the actual rally where there was this attempted assassination of a former president. but first, the other big news, special counsel jack smith making news tonight. he will appeal this huge ruling today in the federal open case against defendant donald trump. that's next. se against defendant donald trump that's next. before you run. listen to me, the hot dog diet got me shredded. it's time we listen to science. one a day is formulated with key nutrients to support whole body health. one a day. science that matters. protect against rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the v

yeah, no various duit as always, molly ball, that it was in present tense. it does reflect i'm sure we're all hearing and i heard in so many of my conversations and that is that there is true people feel truly torn, that there's a true dilemma because they love joe biden they they really do. they also really want to beat donald trump. and they're worried that those two feelings are colliding right now. so we'll see, we'll definitely see what happens when he gives the interview on abc news. and much, much more, don't go anywhere because up next, how donald trump really feels about president biden's debate performance, new video straight from the golf course next. and later we have a special guest is studio to help kick off cnn's the fourth in america show coming back right after a quick break what i got it by keith urban. >> maybe wrexham, the killers, and many more america, united seven eastern on cnn we need your help go online, call or skin this code to support wwf's global conservation efforts. by symbolically adopting an elephant for only $12 a month. it

molly ball, i actually want to start with you because i want to try to capture the big picture of wherere we stand right now. and you write this in the wall street journal, the fallout from last week's presidential debate has thrust the democratic party into a spiraling crisis. yet many in the party view, the current reckoning as sadly inevitable. the product of years of defensive refusal by the president and his protective inner circle to acknowledge the decline in biden's public presentation that has long been obvious to voters. and you quote a democratic operative who says the shocking thing is that people engaged in this deception or delusion or both. for so long, what else are you hearing about how this is playing out here? because i do think that you capture here what everyone feels, which is we knew that his age was an issue. but to actually see it this way when so many people will deny, deny, deny to you that this is happening at all it feels like whiplash. yeah. well, the word that i kept hearing from so many people who are involved in the highest levels live democratic politic

i spoke about all this with molly ball, senior political correspondent for the wall streetjournal.use coming out today strongly denying reports president biden is considering stepping out of the race. what is the latest you can tell us? well, this has been deadline for the past six days, since the debate. but really what we are paying attention to is the really growing sense of panic all around the white house. from democrats at all levels, from the mezzanine level of the party, elected officials, operatives, and strategies close to the party, even people inside the white house very concerned about the situation and they know that something has to be done. a loss of democrats feel that the president and his apparatus haven't done enough to reassure them if he is going to stay in them if he is going to stay in the race that he has what it takes. it took this many days for him to contact senior congressional leaders, for example, and you have this meeting with the governors and there has still been a semblance of a plan going forward to say what he is going to do differently to assua

ball, senior correspondent at the wall streetjournal.reetjournal. i will start here in the studio. what is your reporting telling you about where democrats stand right now? we have seen senator michael bennett come out and call for president biden to bow out of the race?— out of the race? senator bennett _ out of the race? senator bennett might _ out of the race? senator bennett might be - out of the race? senator bennett might be doing| out of the race? senator- bennett might be doing that but those who have real political capitol with president biden are not urging him to get out of the race. there is widespread frustration among my democratic sources around president biden's handling of the debate and they wished that he was better prepared, well rested, but there is an acceptance that he is the nominee. what has been made to democrats that have a different view that someone else should step up is that anyone who has talked to president biden privately say he is more insistent than ever, that he has been counted out before in the 1970

well, i think i also think i mean, we have molly ball on earlier this week that there is this sense andk, you deal with this when you deal with any white house, when they're mad at you about a story, right? they come at you right? and your writing something that they don't like. and so they're on the phone, their young either telling you the wrong, sometimes belittling depending on you know, and look, this is not a partisan thing, okay. it's like i know this you know, i've been on the end of screaming. oh, yeah. yeah i was i was waiting what she said you have experienced with like please got done? i'd say yelling at people, might hear this. here's the thing, is that at the end of the day, that can be a situation when all of a sudden the thing that you were right about his exposed for everyone to see and find a single article about nato going really well. but that to separate, that's elliot's point. the white house is fundamentally misread those because they treated this like this was the bothered debate in 2012 as treated like this can be out haitian problem, not a lie or deception that

molly ball this is a pattern from trump, isaac, i mean, he has repeatedly now denigrated jews who are democrats right? and you are continuing to see this from him even as his campaign is trying to focus on other issues like immigration. like what this stems from in trump's mind is that he moved the embassy, the american embassy to jerusalem, and he feels like that was a big move on behalf of america but israel, and so he feels like jewish people should support him because he did that. and so he's mad about disloyalty. but really what that is rooted in is the idea that jewish people should support whatever is good for israel on that, there's a dual loyalties thing that tracks back into a lot of complicated tropes that are through our history. in this country. and for jewish people. >> and like what it really comes down to for harris is, he said she doesn't like jewish people. she's married to a jewish person. she spent a lot of time in her life around jewish people. i think she had a real problem with jewish people. it would be clear by now what trump is talking about is in this politi

experience and wouldn't be a reassuring contrast to vice president kamala harris unquote threats and molly ball, senior political correspondent at the wall street journal, and bryan lanza, former deputy communications director for the trump 2016 campaign. me begin with you for a second. brian here because i wonder what you make of this editorial and the idea of jd vance, the senator not being as enticing in their editorial decision and opinion. >> well, first of all, thank you for having me. i listen. i think it's pretty clear that senator vance is sort of this not appeal to the corporate types that read the wall street journal in sort of that corporate type that has been the establishment of the gop. if he's disruptive, just like president trump. so if you're the wall street journal going to look for something that's not disruptive. you're going to look for something in that status quo. you're going to look for something that actually american people who have not rejected for two nearly three presidential elections. so wall street journal staling the recommendation, it's we're not surpris

ball and cnn team data reporter, harry enten, all wait as alright, tonight was the night.ean many people have read this book, others have watched the movie. it was sort of a, allow me to reintroduce myself is jd vance. is this the future of the republican party? >> this is trump's republican party and they are completely unified. it's not a republican party that i recognize hi, or belonged to any anymore. but it's a unified party. laura and it's running against a party right now that is frozen my late. >> listen so what van said about what was his vision of america? listen america is not just an idea it is a group of people with a shared history and common future. >> it is in short, a nation now it is part of that tradition, of course, that we welcome newcomers but when we allow newcomers into our american family, we allow them on our terms pete, that i mean, we allow them on our terms. >> molly, what does that tell you about his worldview will it's very much this populace nationalist conservatism that he as really been the avatar of and that's i think why he got the vice

i'll be able to hell ball. she has a sauce lum. uh well, some of the most of the may then and then she will. but she is quoted called tom or well the, the . ready the, the website to have the pass code. how does the fun wisdom in this all guy is gonna come in a different time? the voice now did so you can use it for me and he thought you had met him because of either the dust, minnesota possibilities for him and they need some. yeah. and at least from him, and they keep telling me to have you onto what a new let me, elizabeth, based on the most by that's the of the most. as can you tell me is because he has no idea he'd been told, been se, recheck luviere the id, the loss of what had minimal. i say in most of the been the can i'm do. and if to memory the higher the of a slow was the media obstruct line, where can, is that not? so i'm was hold your head, barry, what's the last of her saw be what will slip to what can i do? a payment of $13.00, uh, how cindy be solid viewing or how low cost. so city, what was the parlance? what besid

and he's a molly and, but you know, for us of ball through exit from the west african block echo us off to signing a new treaty to set up a configuration decision to lead to countries have cuts, military and diplomatic ties with regional allies and western powers. then also when comes as leaders from west african states meeting, the idea i'm gonna address is that the summit and has this report from a bush, joe? it's been demoted here for west africa's regional block, of course. and, and this is why the number of codes subset of civil crisis leading to the construct mentors. and there's somebody near me on saturday, the ministry leaders of working a fossil, molly images who have already renounced the membership of echoes. so the new alliance of the health states was born out of necessity. but said don't. the alliance of the health states is the only grouping, especially a regional one size effective in the fight against terrorism, coalescence, conspicuous by its lack of involvement in this fight. while working in the process of lead took a swipe of what he called colored years. we blamed
