clooney was exactly right. my wife, emily, turned to me after the fund-raiser and said what are we going to do? and i said well, there is a debate in a week. either he will do well in the debate and we will think well, he was just tired because he flew all the way back from europe and that will be that or he will be like this at the debate and the whole country will be talking about. here we are. >> you will recall there was a video from that event of biden being let off the stage by former president obama. the white house characterized this video as a cheap fake, a targeted attack on biden. but here at nato so far the president is getting support from foreign leaders. >> yesterday i talked with president biden and there is no doubt everything is okay. you know, this is the decision of the president biden and his family. we don't interfere in the american elections because this is the beauty and this is the privilege of americans. to decide who is the president. >> politico reported this morning many private le

so now clooney puts the knife into his old buddy and instead of blood there was dust. [ laughter ] clooneyat joe biden i was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the joe. big deal biden 122010. he wasn't even the biden of 2020. he was the same and we all witnessed at the debate. i got news for you george, joe wasn't a big deal in 2010 unless the f. stood for flatulent. and even though he beat medicare and oil cancer he got his ass kicked by teleprompters, microphones and gravity. but it's nice of clooney to finally speak up but this is hollywood once again. where harvey weinstein trapped more women on couches than a roof collapse at ray moore and flanagan's. and yet hollywood clamped up for decades. clooney is only speaking up now because he ran it by obama who approved, the biden campaign downplayed to the piece stating the president had the fundraiser three hours longer than clooney. even over two of those hours joe was lost in the courtroom. i've course we knew for years what clooney was saying now. biden isn't just a vegetable he is the hole farmer's market. but the floodgate

at the fundraiser longer than clooney.knew for years what clooney is just saying now, biden is not just a vegetable, he's the whole farmer's market. the flood gates have opened, big shot hollywood donors, distancing themselves from biden like he is at the jamboree. rob reineres we need someone younger to fight back, that narrows it down to about everyone on earth. biden suddenly got too old just a few weeks ago, which shows how detached these idiots are from real life. if you don't experience crime, inflation, or illegals, do you think they are going to care your guy is clinically dead? biden backer is telling the heifers on "the view" that he's deeply concerned. >> i'm concerned, the democrats have a big bench and heavy hitters. i worry with the debate, difficulty with the debate, it was relatively simple, you just should have told the president, stand up, put a little makeup on for the debate, which should help him and where to look. >> greg: looks like a vegas magician. no amount of makeup could add moisture to the corp

clooney is a coward, clooney knew this.n did not happen in the last three weeks. if you break your leg one day, fine the day before, this is not a broken leg. this is a growing problem with an addled president. >> carley: karine jean-pierre said that footage of president obama ushering president biden off the stage was a cheap fact. >> todd: for a party in lock step messaging, i'm sure you have your popcorn watching this disaster. when hillary vaughn hitting people up, they are all over the place. your thought on this, charlamagne the god urging democrats to challenge joe biden at the convention, listen to this. >> all i hear is ego, take him up on his offer. every democrat who feels like democrats can't win if president biden is the nominee, take him up on his offer. i've been saying this several months and asking questions are biden and harris a winnable ticket. if the answer is no, biden should step aside and folks should not be upset if y'all want to win. >> he says at the end, if democrats want to end, that is what cha

i was there, clooney was executor right.e person i spoke to at the fund-raiser thought the same thing except the people who worked with joe biden and i remember my wife, emily turned to me and said what are we going to do and i said well there is a debate in a week. either he will do well on the debate and we will think he was just tired because he flew back from europe and that will be that or he will be like this at the debate and the whole country will talk about it so here we are. >> sandra: here we are. and the question is is the dam breaking? is this a moment of escalation for the push from joe biden to step out, john? remember david axelrod, he asks the question two days ago why is trump uncharacteristically holding fire as biden teeters? david axelrod thinks biden is dangerously out of touch. he said this for years that he needed to show more empathy to the american people from missing the on inflation. he has suggested he suffers, joe biden, from denial, delusion, defiance, he said a day ago joe biden has two weeks

clooney was exactly right. and every single person i talked to at the fundraiser thought the same thing, except for the people working for joe biden. obama directing george clooney to abandon joe biden. he picked kamala harris as his vice president. if joe had picked someone even halfway competent, they would have bounced him from office years ago. trump turns his focus to laugh and kamala laugh, and kamala laugh. i n apostrophe plus, cause i smell fried baloney all over you. day three of the joe biden hostage crisis. as we witness what political insiders are calling a bomb drop in washington, the first shots fired in the democrats civil war. it was nancy pelosi who pulled the trigger on biden's favorite morning show. it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. the i think, overwhelming support of the of the caucus, it's not for me to say i'm not the head of the caucus anymore, but he's beloved, he is respected, and peo

jake. >> what does that mean that george clooney left three hours before.t is the point. >> the point is to suggest that clooney didn't have eyes on the entire event. that's the response to the george clooney op-ed. >> jesse: maria is joining us now. is this not about money. if you are a hollywood guy, and you are sinking millions of dollars into the biden campaign and then he falls apart, what are you supposed to do, keep funding this losing campaign. >> reporter: i think that donors right how in hollywood are upset with george clooney. why did he go ahead with the fundraiser and got his friends to pony up millions of dollars and tells us after, this was not the joe biden of ten years ago. >> jesse: thanks george! >> thanks george, i already spent the money. i think it is interesting because the democrats always stick together. we have seen this over and over again. they get in line under nancy pelosi's leadership, they would get in line, whatever policy it is. but now we see this division. and they are not getting in line. but i think it is worth noting,

>> george clooney, what a [bleep] hero this guy is, huh?f he didn't do the debate, biden and wasn't a vegetable? you didn't keep your mouth shut? >> steve: he will join us this morning brian from his couch. >> ainsley: get dressed, dave. >> brian: my pillow is so great he laid on it during the interview. wasn't the only one laughing at the drama from yesterday. >> you know things are crazy when 84-year-old nancy pelosi is telling an 81-year-old joe biden to retire. what is going on? >> brian: so funny. "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, your mornings are better with friends. roll the pricy animation. >> steve: all right. happening today, 5:30 this afternoon eastern time president biden will be taking to the podium for what the white house has referred to as a big boy press conference as part of day 3 of the ongoing nato summit at the convention center in d.c. >> ainsley: it comes out of another sitdown interview that's planned for monday with nbc as he fights to save his re-election bid. >> lawrence: lucas tomlinson is live in wash

is pushing george clooney's case, a frequent visitor to the white house. would that 190 minute debate change anything about the president prior? >> i think a lot of people really are questioning whether or not joe biden is up to doing the job of the president or fees up to doing the job today, if you will realistically be up to do that job with 4 years from now? 74 percent in my most recent poll they they think that joe biden is too old for another term? this is not an unrealistic view, is just how did this become so prevalent and so prominent right now? the debates triggered, it was a mistake to hold it before the nomination was secured. as a result, they're facing a hurricane coming from the bad debate performance. >> i think others we know are becoming -- getting to pick up with commons of their own, that the president now needs to step aside, that he's had a good record, what you talk about all of thought whether you agree or disagree, time is a wasting. 's idea of an open convention, battling it out, some talking what is speed primary, might be speed

the biden campaign down played clooney's op-ed indicating biden has more stamina than clooney. that fell flat and his allies are trying to clean it up. >> i question whether george clooney has spent a lot of time with president biden in person. i'm more of a matt damon guy. i have never had an incident or encounter with joe biden like that debate. my wife and i watching it also found it shocking. it was not what we expected. >> a new poll shows 56% of democratic voters agree biden should withdraw from the race despite his claim it is only party elites who want him out. that is seven to ten among independents. democratic chair is saying the more biden's candidacy is front and center the more time lost focusing on trump. >> lock your knees, stiffen your spine and support this president. if you spend more of your time talking about joe biden than donald trump and project 2025, folks, you've got to do a course correction. >> the president has a chance for redemption in a solo press conference, his first since last november. and every word he says will be under a microscope. here wa

and what else clooney said today. but it was the former speaker nancy pelosi saying, we're all encouraging president biden to make his decision, because time is running short, in her words. but the president has already said he's staying in this race, so, what's going on here? here's rachel scott. >> welcome, welcome, welcome. >> reporter: president biden just moments ago welcoming the new british prime minister to the oval office, hoping to turn the page from the crisis engulfing his campaign. the president has defiantly rejected calls to drop out, insisting he's staying in the race and urging democrats to rally around him. still today, the powerful former house speaker nancy pelosi went on television and said she'll support whatever decision the president makes. but she was pressed. hasn't he already announced he's staying in the race? >> it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is running short. i think the overwhelming support of the ca

he is not pushing back on this clooney piece.ing more from it, marie. while obama did not encourage or advise clooney to say what he said he also did not object to it. the lack of pushback is an eye-popping revelation given the president was one of the first big voices defending biden following his abysmal debate performance. remember, obama came out they are not long after the debate and said this "bad debate nice cabin, trust me i know but this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself" joebiden.com. he still seems to be saying this is your guy. >> absolutely. he is a team player and if joe biden remains the nominee barack obama will campaign as hard as anyone. but what i think president obama and nancy pelosi whose comments have evolved, chuck schumer's comments have evolved here from hakeem jeffries, look they say that this is not just one bad night they know joe biden very well. at the core of what i think they are all going through t

someone in the george clooney line. someone in the middle _ the george clooney line. goes on, on top of that, we won't when the house and we are going to — won't when the house and we are going to lose the senate, that is every— going to lose the senate, that is every part— going to lose the senate, that is every part of the federal government, and by the way, they got the courts— government, and by the way, they got the courts as _ government, and by the way, they got the courts as well, into the hands of donald — the courts as well, into the hands of donald trump, and the republicans. and he says, clooney says. _ republicans. and he says, clooney says. it's _ republicans. and he says, clooney says, it's notjust my opinion, this is the _ says, it's notjust my opinion, this is the opinion— says, it's notjust my opinion, this is the opinion of every senator and congers— is the opinion of every senator and congers person and governor i've spoken— congers person and governor i've spoken with in private, every single one, _ spoken with in private, every single one. a _ sp

was it george clooney himself i wonder? i doubt it. i think behind the scenes for his far more persuasive farmer leaving behind the scenes it said george we need you to do this. the bottom line is what now. he goes on to say let's hear from wes moore, kamala harris, gretchen whitmer, j.b. pritzker. let's agree that candidates not attack one another but focus on what will make this country sure and then we will go to the dnc and figured out. the final point if all of a sudden this is a catastrophe and everyone is seeing the light, what about the president governing? where were the calls for him to step out as we have all our servicemen and women and americans under biden's watch. >> kayleigh: we hear often from white house, top officials, he's healthier than the rest of us. younger aides can keep up with him. what we're looking at a moment ago was images from a fund-raiser three weeks ago. george clooney is basically saying to all the white house talking points we are hearing, that's not true. i saw him face-to-face. it's the same guy o

>> the point of that is to suggest that biden stamina is better than clooney's and clooney didn't have eyes on the entire event. that's the response to the clooney op-ed okay? >> kayla tausche. thanks so much. appreciate it karen finney. yeah. okay. to talk to me, i will die not is your favorite topic. i look it just seems like every day is going to be like this with people saying he should drop out, people that are democratic party stalwart. george clooney gets nothing out of this. i mean, what does he, what does he gain? the only reason to do this is because he feels like he needs to convey those how does this end and let's just stipulate to the facts that this is not good this is bad. >> let's just say the affidavits, right, guys. thank you but with here's part of what i think's happening this week with members and town. >> obviously, they're getting together, they're having these conversations and i think that's important, right? i think it's important. i think what you're hearing from leaders is they're trying to say what they're hearing from their members but the thing that i thi

possible obama-clooney coup. >> this wasn't george clooney. >> what do you mean? think it was? >> it was not matt damon or julia roberts, either. >> who do you think it was? you can say the name, it is not voldemort. are you saying you think barack obama put him up to this? >> i think barack obama has a lot of influence, and i think that there is -- there is a lot there. >> judge jeanine: all right, dana, i'll start with you. >> dana: okay. >> judge jeanine: who do you think came first, obama or clooney? >> dana: i think maybe somebody in obama's orbit encouraged george clooney, or they are probably on a group text, and they said, hey, would you mind doing this? hey, we better run it up the food chain, rounded up by the boss, that obama -- i think tha. let's say obama had nothing to do with it, some but he came to you and said i'm going to put this out there, does he want to be t the one to say no? they are not even denying this report, so i assume that it's true. yesterday, what happened? pelosi poured out the gasoline, clooney lit the match, and obama and his te

i like george clooney, i don't know him but i know his movies.e concerned, the white house should be more concerned about this polling data that shows single moms in wisconsin, single moms in michigan who are raising their families worried about the cost of food and rent and gas who go to see george clooney movies. it's interesting my party will be moved by some of the stuff in los angeles, a source of fund-raising for us and i appreciate that but what about the communities burdened by homelessness? that's the numbers are saying, they don't believe that joe biden is not committed to a lot of these issues, and i don't believe he can beat -- they saw with their own eyes the preoccupation he has with his age means he may not be able to beat donald trump. if you're a woman you're worried about if you were to have reproductive options. we spent the last 12 days talking about the political problems and some of us are being criticized for talking about a problem that he created. but for the performance the president had at the debate we would not be hav

and you know, hollywood loves george clooney. he's the number one leading man, women swoon all around the world and people. 2 are starting to float the idea of the perhaps george clooney should take over because he's got this long history of being political and humanitarian. and look at how beautiful the white house would look, being represented by george clooney. and i'm all his wife who was the, you know, international human rights attorney, you know, very well known, very well spoken. she's not that great british accent. so people are floating, this idea abound in the past 24 hours. and it wouldn't be the 1st time that we've elected an actor to the oval office saying, no, yeah, there was this guy, i think his name was reagan. right. ronnie? ronald reagan. yeah, that's right. as i recall um george clooney by the way. that and wow, i'm, by the way, go either way, rick. all the, all that money that he hold in the biggest one night, fundraiser hall. yeah. and in, in presidential history is what i understand almost $30000000.00 in

clooney, apparently not alone. actor michael douglas says he agrees with clooney that it is time for democrats to do something different but i think it's a valid point. >> i mean, i'm i'm i'm deeply deeply concerned i mean, especially it's difficult because the democrats have a big bench. i mean, a lot of heavy hitters all right, panel is back and of course, this is the cover of the new york post this morning, doesn't have a clooney. >> lots of fodder there. politico now reporting this morning, jeff zeleny that george clooney ran this op-ed by president barak obama, who you will know, we can put that photo backup on the screen i was in that photo with george clooney and julia roberts. and the interesting detail they say is that obama didn't encourage or advise clooney to say what he said, but he also didn't object to it. which is remarkable. it does feel like there's something coordinated here. then there's gambling in the casino. yes. this is something that is absolutely makes sense because things do not happen th

the new york times, clooney roach. we're not going to win in november with this president. that's not just my opinion. that's the opinion of every sen. member of congress and governor, i've spoken to in private but slowly some of those opinions are making their way into public as well. democratic senator peter welsh of vermont has become the 1st senator to publicly call for president biden to withdraw from the presidential race . and in a tv interview form or us house speaker, nancy pelosi seemed to dodge the question of whether or not she backs biden's candidacy. she said the decision was up to him up to the president, just aside if he is going to run a we're all encouraging him to to make that decision because time is running short of the i think, overwhelming support of the, of the call it's, it's not for me to say, i'm not the head of the clock is anymore, but he is beloved. he is respected and people want him to make that decision. as far as form and a professor of political science, how significant the pressure i

happy to see you on a screen, we don't need george clooney we are good. [ laughter ] thank you!ed, a lot coming up here focuses summer, we started with the story live it from milwaukee for the aerobic and national convention, you was hard with a regular show on sunday at 3:00 eastern, almost all the shows will be out there, be very busy day. get your tv ready for sunday, full day of programming to get you set for the big convention and we look forward to seeing you there, and the white house is correcting the record after saying that the neurologist who visited was not there to care for president biden, remember all of data but we can diverge names because so many other people see neurologist at the white house? so now they are fixing the record on that a, revival can congressman and former trump white house physician, understands this role very well, ronnie jackson, is next because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. i

look at this, george clooney op-ed. well, three weeks ago we all saw why did anybody say anything that night? it's not that they care about the office of the president. it's that they care, they're losing. that's why it's you got it all wrong when i think this is not an administration that has lied, it has not. you want to laugh or you know, but us appointed administration that light up at the size of the crowd at the inauguration, you are slice that they've never lot of confusing administration i think part of the reason that this hasn't been shut down, frankly, it's because there's been breathless and somewhat reckless reporting by the jobless you're saying that journalists are wrong? >> yes, i do. i think that was juror no. no. let me give you examples. i think that when journalists jump on the george stephanopoulos interview and talk about how mark warner didn't run. i think they're wrong. mark warner ran he ran for five minutes, but he got close enough to run what we thing that is not align have to defend the sorry

clooney writes. it was devastating. it's devastating to say it, but the joe biden i was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the joe biden of 2010. he wasn't even the joe biden of 2020. he was the same man we all witnessed at the debate. clooney goes on to say, quote, we're all so terrified by the prospect of a second trump term that we've opted to ignore every warning sign, clooney adds. top democrats, including chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, need to ask the president to voluntarily step aside now, so far, those democrats are sticking by the president. but congresswoman pelosi was a bit noncommittal in her support. here's what she said. and other california democrats today. it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. the i think, overwhelming support of the of the caucus, it's not for me to say i'm not the head of the caucus anymore, but he's beloved, he is respected, and people want him to make that decision. he has

>> it's to suggest that biden's stamina is better than clooney's and clooney didn't have eyes on theevent. that's the response. >> okay. >> this wasn't george clooney. >> what you mean. >> it wasn't, come on. >> who do you think it was. >> it wasn't matt damon or julia roberts either. is. >> you can say the name. are you saying you think barack obama put him up to this? >> i think that barack obama has a lot of influence and i think that there's a lot there. >> i will start with you dana. who do you think came first, obama or clooney? >> maybe somebody in obama's orbit encouraged george clooney or they were probably on a group text and they said would you mined doing this. let's say obama had nothing to do with it and somebody said i'm going to put this out there, does he want to be the one to say no? they are not even denying this report so i assume it's true. yesterday what happened, pelosi poured all the gasoline, clooney lit the match and obama and his team are refusing to call the fire department. they say let it all burn and they are when you to see what's going to happen. i co

kevin, what do you make of george clooney saying joe has to go? >> steve: you would? >> absolutely. >> steve: do you, for the most part listen to what celebrities have to say? >> no, celebrities are for entertainment only. >> steve: thank you. there is actual celebrity mode of transportation, the bike brian kilmeade came to work on. a lot about celebrities. coming up in 11 minutes, man who is sitting on the 12th floor of that skyscraper will take over, bill hemmer, what do you have planned? >> bill: great effort, steve. good effort. we'll check passports next time. we have a great lineup. coming up in a moment here, we will talk with a man given access to white house for two years, wrote a book about it, what he learned inside. three democratic voters will tell us what they want from joe biden and team trump getting closer to a big week. what we're learning about their plan. come along, it will be a ride, dana and i will see you in 10 minutes, top of the hour. dupixent can help people with asthma breathe better in as little as 2 weeks. so this is

now of course, i don't think she's been prisoners have come out like george clooney and say he shouldt drop out. but i think she is very much a bellwether and is actually probably a very smart political minus seeing like, okay, when does this flood swift from gradual to sudden? i think her words will be that moment. >> well, and i think nancy pelosi's track record shows that above all, she is someone who wants to win and she typically knows how to do it, especially in the house and listening to her yesterday, it seemed pretty clear to me that she believes that it's going to be a real challenge for democrats to hold the house thanks so closely to the slight evolution of her language, right. >> all right. nic johnston for us starting us off this morning. nic always grateful to have you here all right. coming up next here, the nato summit, overshadowed by the struggles president biden is facing. we'll bring you the latest from that plus some of the biggest stars in hollywood calling on the president to exit the race. and then there's this why michael cohen is making a plea to the supreme

george clooney just announced on twitter. he's out no longer a bible supported quote, he says, or writes, it's devastating to say it. but the joe biden that i was with 3 weeks ago, what the fundraiser was, not the joe f in deal the big f and jo, big f a. i don't even know what that means, but whatever of 2010, he wasn't even the joe biden of 2020, he writes, he was the same man. we all witnessed during that debate. so he's saying essentially that he now thinks that joe biden is a daughter, an old man who can, shouldn't be the president. and i do wonder is i watch those? and i asked myself, then why didn't he say then if he saw it, then instead he was trying to convince everybody he knows to give millions of dollars to the guy. and now he's saying it's take your money back guys. i was wrong . i find out what, what do you make about coney coming out and suddenly turning on by as well. a couple of points here, rick. so 1st, if i were biden, i would say a 2 brute k, a 2 by the, by that, yes, yes, in this case, and joe biden is ju

they are upset about george clooney.gift biden ends up exiting this race ultimately that clooney moment we'll be one of the tipping points along the way. you're thoughts? >> you are exactly right. like senator welch from aunt said he wants him out of the race. no one outside of vermont knows who well shows peer people know george clooney is though so he is reaching voters who might not pay attention at this so you are right to be informed. but the show is literally called the dew and it was created to create different viewpoints. yet whatever version we are seeing now in values dissent keep you're mouth shut if it's critical to the president are democrats in general. in the same breath they talk about the same -- importance of saving democracy. she had confessed to bomar a couple weeks ago on her own show she is afraid to say anything about biden because it may influence the people who are on the fence to vote the other way. she said this and it's credibility and that's where you want here when it comes to this program.

clooney! [cheers and applause] >> jordan: clooney!er, sexy, silver fox of a man... >> jordan: stop it >> jordan: those lips, those lips you can just -- >> desi: stop it! >> jordan: he's a lot. you know what, it's important to remember that as of now, only eight house democrats have called on joe biden to step down. and the dissenters might get all the headlines, but there are hundreds of other democrats who are still with joe biden. but with a skeptical public, now is the time for them to make their case to the people. so let's hear their enthusiasm! what do you say, congressman jim clyburn? >> we are riding with biden. we are riding with biden. >> did anyone mention harris? >> we are riding with biden. >> was there a conversation about vice president -- >> we are riding with biden. >> was there a conversation about vice president kamala harris in there? >> we are riding with biden. >> jordan: okay, i wouldn't say that was enthusiasm i was hearing there. "i'm riding with biden" sounds like you're in a "thelma and louise" situation. >>

clooney lives in my district.all admire his acting and appreciate his generosity of the democratic party but he was just one of the people at the fund-raiser and everyone who was there has an equally valued opinion as to how well joe biden performs. >> if barack obama didn't tell george clooney, we really shouldn't do this, george, would that -- >> i have no idea what barack -- wlar i think we -- what i think we all want to see is a good performance by joe biden tonight and perhaps some other occasions, perhaps leading to a 90 min live interview at 9:00 p.m., preparing him for the september 10th debate. i have no idea what barack obama said to george clooney. neither one of them consulted me about it. >> neil: all right. real quickly then on that debate you referred to, that is slated in september, do you think that is still going to happen? even if joe biden survives this? that that debate will still happen? >> there will be pressure to have the debate on both candidates. they have not agreed on format. i don't t

agreeing with george clooney's call to step aside. >> i was there. clooney is exactly right. every person i talked to at the fundraiser thought the same thing. >> john: most hollywood's mostly elites are calling for a change at the top of the ticket. jason chaffetz in "focus" next. ♪ ♪ ♪♪ ♪ you were made to find inner peace. we were made to track flight prices to paradise. did you ever worry we wouldn't get to enjoy this?
