welcome to the show. first time president contending with a far-right opposition party. with the approval ratings in free fall. what would your next move be? how about hopping on air force one, and taking a right to meet a brutal foreign leader that you previously condemned? that is about joe biden is doing, by having to saudi arabia friday morning. he will meet with crown prince, mohammed bin salman, all man who was openly denounced on the campaign trail, and said the country should be a pariah. but biden hopes he can increase oil flows, as lower gas prices. a new york times college poll finds that biden's job approval sits at 33%.

that is not even the worst news for the president. that poll also shows that 64% of democrats, want biden to step aside for another democratic presidential candidate in 2024. while only a quarter of democrats think biden should get the nomination again. compared to the 49% of republicans at the poll, support donald trump in 2024. his poll numbers are being driven in no small part, by younger voters. 18 to 29-year-olds are the only group of democrats whose approval of brighton was below 20 would prefer. only 1% of those young voters said they strongly approved of biden's performance. those numbers are not just bad for biden and the democrats. they are historically bad for joe biden and the democrats. the youth and enthusiasm gap is widening. i know with some of you are thinking. who cares about young people? they never vote? not true.

young voters were a key demographic that helped democrats win the house in 2018. and when the white house in 2020. they are the ones right now, deflated. frustrated, and in danger of sitting out these been terms. to be fair, it isn't biden's fault, the current situation, or in his power or control to fix. there is a 50/50 senate. antiabortion white ring party in the opposition, a war in ukraine, and haven't pandemic, global supply chain issues, as well as global inflation. there's no question about any of that, we discussed it all here on the show. we will discuss inflation again later in the show. how many times have we pointed to figure at joe manchin at the show? we have. he's back this week, there are hopes that manchin would be able to make a deal, on the big social spending package. on things like prescription drugs price cups. but manchin seemed to dashed

those hopes. >> we are less inclined to move forward with this reconciliation -- >> people are hurting. the cost of everything, especially in the staples of life, whether it's milk, eggs, prices of inflation and the energy it takes the daily life. >> it looks like joe manchin is out. again. here is a, think they're actually quite a few things joe biden can do. right now to energize the base. to turn things around with young voters, and to save his party from a -- as former boss obama what's called it, without having to rely on joe manchin. here are three, just three popular progressive urgent ideas, the first is to forgive student debt. biden hinted that he will forgive some debt, maybe up to

$10,000 of student loans. as he has hinted that that will be means tested, and could exclude debt from graduate programs. but, if he has the authority to cancel some debt, he can cancel all of it. just by doing, that he can put millions of young americans -- polling last month by the group data progress, found that one demographic group in america, as opposed to broad student loans relief. republican voters, over 50. what are you waiting for mister president? second idea for biden is even easier. do what he promised to do on the campaign trail. do you cure -- decriminalize marijuana, expunge previous convictions, for previous offenses. it's not the right thing to do, it is insanely popular. multiple polls in years, show even half of republican voters want to legalize pot.

do it. in a letter written to biden last, week taking him to task for dragging his feet. and finally, there is abortion rights. the biden administration seems to be caught flat-footed by the supreme court's overturning of roe v. wade last month. even though we knew it was coming. some democrats did come prepared with ideas. >> there are things we, now there are also actions at president biden's bus -- disposal that he can mobilize. open abortion clinics on [inaudible] >> that is the third thing in the biden administration can look at doing. private abortion providers on federal land and red state, with sidestep the restrictions on federal money towards

supporting abortions. now the biden ministration and those around them say, it might be more tricky. you'll be exposing doctors, and women. it would repaired the biden ministration to immunize those doctors. and those women from future criminal liability. they can do it. so it stops biden from exploring this? from doing it? i'm trying to do it, any number of executive actions on abortion, like declaring public health emergency. according to unnamed administration officials, the white house is trigger shy because biden wants to avoid another supreme court showdown. my response? somewhat. let the court stop you. the point is, your voters want to see that you tried. president biden needs to show that he's fighting for americans rights and freedoms. they want to see biden at a home, signing executive orders, not abroad shaking hands with a saudi prints. joining me now, megan hatch, or

director of democracy policy, and -- thank you both for coming back on the show. let me start with you, how bad is this polling, with joe biden this week? polling on younger voters? is this a break glass in case of emergency for the white house? >> we need young people to show up the way they did in 2018, and 2020. not just at the top of the ticket not just for the senate races, congressional races, the governor's race, city councils, school boards, if they are feeling demoralized by the white house and the democratic party at large, it's not that they won't show up, if they do, they will not vote for the democrats on the ticket. it should be a break all glass, do everything you can to energize it. >> meghan you and i have talked so many times, about how the administration should or could

react on abortion rights. on other awful supreme court rulings. why do you think they are not doing more? what response do you guys get from folks in the white house, when you push them? >> i think, the initial announcement of abortion access, executive actions, we are very good start. obviously there's more that he could do. this was a general rule, i think democrats just find more comfort to -- comfort in a defensive position, rather than offensive. we have to break the ongoing offense glass, and show the democratic party young people, that you are a fighter. not just that you want to find bipartisan compromise, but finding through things that people want. abortion access is extremely popular. not out of step to say, we should be finding ways to make

sure people who want access, can get it. there is more that joe biden can do. i think his campaign in 2020, i genuinely ran on a sense of urgency. the country was on the brink, and ran on the sense of urgency to pull us back. he just needs to remember that. remember 2020, and bring that energy back into 2022. we are still in that urgent moment now. >> megan, because you mentioned the out of step, line i have to read the quote, from outgoing white house communications. quote she gave to washington, both on the record, about their strategy. joe biden's goal in responding to the supreme court decision,, it's not to satisfy some activists, that is consistently out of step with the democratic party. what do you think when you read that line meghan? >> it was not my favorite quote that i read in 2022. i don't know that i would have

assigned my name to such a thing. i think it's deeply offensive. also not true. nothing anybody is asking for that is not a step, that has not been a mainstream democratic position, since the clinton administration. people want access to abortion. it's okay to ask for what you want. to dismiss this as sort of out of touch activism, is incorrect. but these are the people that you need. you need us. we are -- asking for crazy things, like codifying roe at the other level. that is not crazy. he needs to win, we should be working together on a solution, as opposed to queuing up the firing squad on this one. >> amanda, one of the things democrats too, especially if you go on social media, what are the responses, as megan just debunked, this is unpopular left-wing stuff,

which it is not. the other point is, we do not have the power to do, it it's a 50/50 senate. as i pointed out a moment ago, there are things biden can do. student debt cancellation. they have the legal power to do this, in fact it's done it on the fringes. it's already canceled that in certain places. why not go all the way, in cancel all student debt, or at least 50 k? the right will call you socialist no matter what, why not just go for it, and energize your younger base? >> i don't know why you would hesitate. this is something that will bring young people out, even if it gets pushed back in the courts. do you think republicans ever hesitate because democrats might get upset, or might be a legal challenge? they take action. this is how you can show young people that you can trust you when you make a promise. keep it, take the action you promised he would do on the trip. >> i have to ask you this as well, new york magazine has a new interview with donald

trump. he says it's a matter of when, not if do you think that democrats should be talking more about the former guy that biden should be talking more about the fascist threat that he poses to american democracy, there's an argument amongst voters especially young voters about what should democrats be focused on is that the threat to democracy? or is a quote unquote, kitchen table issues? i gas prices, student debt payments, what's data? >> i think the threat to democracy is a kitchen table issue. if we can't make our voices heard, combination of gerrymandering, voter suppression, trump presidency, come into effect, none of us are going to have humble economic futures anyway. i don't think it is one of the other. i think we have to stay focused on the election ahead of us. we will have lots of time to be very angry at donald trump over the next few years. we have to keep our eye on the prize, just 2022 midterms.

>> meghan the other things that biden could be doing, i talked about executive orders. i talked about marijuana decriminalization. talked about student cancellation, some of the stuff on federal land, with abortion providers. of course, there are things that they could be pushing through congress. the argument always is. what is the point? we do not have the weight. it's in the point, give us the vote in november, so we can do xyz? among xyz, something you and i deeply care about, democrats are slowly coming around to, is expanding the court? >> exactly. amanda is right. our democracy is a kitchen table issues. it impacts everything. whatever it is that motivates people to vote in the first place, all of that is at risk, when one, if you can't vote, to make changes to. it too, if the supreme court is part of the institution that is preventing you from using your voice, i think democrats in

general are institutionalist. but i think that they've confused protecting an institution, with ignoring an institution. we keep hearing from the, that undermining public trust, the supreme court is doing just fine on its own, undermining the public's trust. the only way to restore the public's faith in the institution is to reform it. to add seats, once democrats realize that, i think that they are. there has been a wave of support especially on the house side, once they realize that the supreme court is not some untouchable panel, and start thinking of it as an institution that is critical to our democracy, that is worthy of were form, the reforming is necessary, that would be all for the better. us as activists and voters should be pushing, primary candidates on the ballot in november, to embrace expansion as a critical democracy reform.

>> well said. we have to 60 -- 60 seconds left. quick last question to you, i mentioned three things biden could be doing. only 1% of young voters say they strongly approve its performance. and says what else could i do? but would you tell them to do? >> more on guns. whatever more you can do on guns, i know there is limitations, in the united states senate. there is a limitation on emergency, or executive action. especially for young people who do not feel safe in school right now. college students are going back to campus in the fall, what can you to take action on guns? beyond what you've already done >> yes guns as well. we've talked on the show about executive actions that joe biden could take on guns, like declaring a national emergency on guns. like we should declare a public health emergency on abortion rights. thank you both for your analysis. we appreciate, it thank you. >> still to come, seeing those numbers fly as you are filling your gas tank, certainly has

not been a welcoming sight. not in the biden era, it's -- did you know prices have finally been dropping? gas prices over the last month? where is the coverage of that? we will talk media coverage with the media expert, when we come back. he media expert, when we come back. come back. -denied. -can you imagine? i want a new nickname. can you guys start calling me snake? no, bryan. -denied. -how about we all get quotes to see if we can save with ameri, can i be snake? -all: no.

>> what is stunning is how dynamic these hearings are. >> never in history, has there been anything like this. >> we're spending roughly $500 every two weeks. >> i want to just couldn't park the car, and jump on the bus. >> i did it.

we almost want to look when you fill up at the pump. the swab or credit card, and put the nozzle in the tank, pull the trigger, and i hope for the best as the numbers start climbing. if the gas prices that helped drive inflation to 9.1% are still making americans winds, those gas prices are finally starting to inch lower, and they have been for an entire month now. is that not a good thing? something to be noted surely, if not celebrated. even the front page of the new york times, marked in a sidebar, and inflation coverage, on thursday. but there they called it a ray of hope. new york times are calling that that, it will not be long until other news organizations follow suit. let's check in on how the folks at fox have been covering the shift in gas prices, over the last couple of weeks? >> by the way gas prices, i wasn't delaware, delaware and

northern maryland, regular gas is anywhere from 4:55, to four 80 a gallon. price is beginning to creep back down. >> the point was made it over the weekend. yeah spices are coming back down, historically faster with the price of oil, unusual. goes to show you would an incredible risk reward calculation has to happen on the part of the small independently owned, most of them, mom and pop gestation's. it's the struggle for all of them. >> so now prices dropping, is a bad thing? those independent gas station owners, and the other media outlets, are of course facing challenges because a price volatility. -- and on the democrats, as the midterm elections loom. conservative group, americans for prosperity, is launching a multi million dollar --

that includes gas station displays and stopping any chance of the democrats spending reconciliation bill, passing at the senate. well inflation numbers overall are still bad, there's always the good news, that is u.s. unemployment figures. which are back down to a half century low after the massive and unprecedented covid driven spike. americans are working again in droves. surely, there is nothing to be mad at about that. about unemployment numbers, that could be spun to attack the democrats. right? >> worker shortage and inflation is still a huge. >> a job for an opening, 50 people say they want to come by and apply. only to show up. they might not even stay, if they get the job. >> we have to break that habit really soon. >> and fox world, right wing media world, facts do not matter. consistent narratives did not matter. it does not matter that unemployment is low.

what is happening in the news, can be spun to attack joe biden? that is not news. that is propaganda. media columnist, and all the -- newsroom confidential. lessons and worries from it and -- thanks so much for coming back to the show. you and i have talked before about the great disconnect between economic news, and what americans feel about the economy. i don't want to diminish what the americans are feeling about the economy. one of the disastrous pieces of news, we have learned this week, 's wages have failed to keep up with growth. many things heard americans right now. a lot of bright spots to. how does the u.s. media get the message through to americans, that it is slowly getting better? without kind of insulting and patronizing them, and coming across as out of touch? >> our role is to scrutinize power. we can never forget that that is our primary role.

that watchdog business that we all know about. but there is a fairness element involved. and so, when gas prices were rising, certainly there was no question about giving that a lot of attention. now that they're coming down, it does not seem to get the same impact. yes it might be in a small way. and as you said, the prices are still high. so it's a question of context it's a question of providing a little balance. >> context is always key of course. and he just reminded, me when you are making the point about how we covered them going, up is not how we cover them coming down. so many other issues, the afghan withdrawal, the intense coverage -- and getting people out in record numbers. did not pay that much attention to success. go on. >> particularly on fox news as

you have just demonstrated, any sort of good news for the economy, the economy is obviously the wedge issue here. because it is pushing right as always. they want to emphasize, if there's something good, whether it's the jobs report, very low unemployment, or gas prices coming down, there seems to be a frantic effort to change the subject. to change it to almost anything. >> yes. it's easy, it many ways, to bash, fox. the real issue right now, is not fox. we know what fox is, it is the quote unquote, mainstream media organizations. legacy media organization. the kind of places you and i work for. the washington post, nbc news, abc news, cnn, the bulk of the mainstream coverage. they want to be seen, in a

well-intentioned way, as nonpartisan. as straight down the middle coverage. both sides, that is the phrase that is often used. i wonder, is this well-intentioned desire to be fair, to say that we're covering both sides equally critically, does that lead you to a place for some media organizations are almost focusing on a lot of bad news to overcompensate. on the one hand he had this fascist stick republican party that is off the rails, if you are media organization or journalist, i must find something on the other side to show that i'm not just criticizing the crazy, inflation, that's a good one to focus on. >> it's no question that is a big dynamic of mainstream media today. is that there is this strong feeling of wanting to be seen, as you said, it comes from a good place, wanting to be seen as nonpartisan, wanting to be seen as neutral, perhaps down the middle. one of the problems is, the two

sides are often not equal, if you treat equal, unequal sides as equal, something gets very skewed. and the fact that mainstream news organizations are constantly under attack, from the right. and they respond to that. they get into a defensive crouch. they adjust with coverage, that is a lot of what we are seeing. >> my own view, this is not the view of nbc, or nbc, my own view is that, because of that, we are going to have trouble, come the 2024 election. it will be this desire again, 2016 style, hillary clinton, emails, to balance out multiple trump scandals. donald trump could be running again, olivia has a piece in new york magazine this week, in which trump tells, he's made up his mind. he will run for another term. it is all about when he decides to announce it, and launch. is the media ready for that announcement? is it ready for a third trump presidential campaign?

your former colleagues says, we are totally unprepared. the media is completely unprepared, for what is coming down the track, especially from the right. what is your view? >> i don't think we have ever really learned how to cover donald trump. we've made a little bit of progress, but in general, he is very good at manipulating the media. he's constantly outrageous. we find it hard not to get him that megaphone, and we have to understand that, really democracy is at stake here. because, the results of an election, if you cannot judge them fairly, or present them fairly, or accept them, or have a peaceful transfer of power, we do not have a democracy anymore. there is a lot on the line, i'm not sure that we are really representing that very well. in fact i do not think that we are. >> very well put. my own worry is that in 2016, we did not know to cover trump. in 2020 we did not know how to

cover the right wing eco suffer. margaret solomon, we will have to leave it there, always a pressure, thank you so much. coming up, republican officials are quick to cast doubt on the heartbreaking horrific story, of an ohio child that has become a national focus in the abortion debate. what are they saying now afternoon developments in that rape case? more on that, next. n that, next n that, next we cut to downtown, your sales rep lisa has to send some files, like asap! so basically i can pick the right plan for each employee. i gotta say moving in together has been awesome. no regrets. yeah i should've just led with th

you may have heard it from president biden when he signed his executive order, to sign his abortion access. >> last week it was reported that a ten year old girl, was a rape victim. ten years old. and she was forced to have to travel out of the state, to indiana, to seek determine night the president -- pregnancy, and save her life. imagine being that little girl, ten years old. >> this horrific portrait of a post roe america was first published in the indystar newspaper. attributed to one on the record. the enemy of gilles gynecologist, the star reports that dr. caden bernard, cared for the ten year old who was six weeks and three days pregnant, just missing a highs new six-week abortion cut, off which has no exception for rape and incest. it's the example for monstrous consequences, and red states.

after the supreme court overturned roe. instead of owning up to those consequences, republican officials like ohio, attorney general dave yost, immediately tried to discredit the story. >> have you had anybody come to you, in your state? to stay we are looking into this, that this police report was filed? >> not a whisper. we work closely, we have decentralized law enforcement and ohio. we have regular contact, with prosecutors and local police. >> ohio congressman jim jordan scoffed the report on twitter calling it, just another lie. wall street journal editorial board, called it too good to confirm. on wednesday, an ohio man was charged with raping the ten year old girl. suspect has already confessed after being so embarrassingly and publicly wronged, and

dismissing this young girls story so shamefully, you might think republicans would now apologize. but then you might not know the modern republican party. jim jordan bravely, deleted his tweet without apologizing. ohio tierney general james yost possibilities for getting the confession, but did not address the doubt he raised, in the media, just days earlier. the doctor that helped the ten-year-old victim, is being targeted. indiana's -- investigating her for alleged failure to report the abuse. for its part, the wall street journal editorial board, corrected their piece thursday. but did not apologize, nor did the primetime fox host, who cast doubt on the story, unfortunately in post roe america, horrific stories like this are likely to become more common. doctor bernard, the indianapolis gynecologist, told the new york times, underage rape cases are not as rare as one might think. she treated her first victim in her medical residency.

nor is abortion in very young women unheard of. in 2017, there were more than 4400 pregnancies and children under 15. 2000 of them, over 40%, ended in abortion. what would happen to these young people, who have lost the right to choose, whether they have to carry the rapists baby to term? instead of dunking on liberals, why don't republicans try focusing on that? marvel's latest superhero is amplifying new voices and culture, into the marvel cinematic universe. my conversation with the shows executive producers, and co-creators on the importance of representation in the writers room. i will be talking with superheroes, that's next. superheroes, to find 92% of colon cancers, even in early stages.
