where do you see it now, bret? >> those are the elitists according to president biden yesterday on msnbc. listen, i think there are two camps of democrats. the democrats now that are saying it's time to move on. let's go. this is our guy, and there is the democrats saying i need to see more. i need to see something else. he needs to prove to me he can do it. fewer and fewer democrats saying 100% he needs to get out right now, but there are people saying he needs to show more. i don't think the white house installed confidence in how they've handled this especially yesterday. >> dana: to say the least. jill biden snapped at some reporters yesterday. watch here. >> house democrats calling for your husband to drop out of the race. how are you feeling about the -- >> all right.

let's bring in bret baier. bret, what was your take on that? predicted, he cited the dissent of justice sotomayor and said that it's important in his mind that former president trump faced this trial by the special counsel jack smith. but, it's really going to be almost impossible to get that trial before november election. you have to go -- it has to go back, according to the supreme court to judge chutkan. there has to be a determination of whether it was official or unofficial acts and then there is an appeals process that comes from that. it could end up back at the supreme court, which would take a lot of time. bottom line is that he is now running not only against donald trump, but against the supreme court and that is what he laid down, that marker. he did that in front of the small press pool. it wasn't the full panoply of the white house press corps. it was the press pool that is assigned every day. you saw he didn't take any questions as he walked off. did looked tanned more than he did on the debate stage. but, it is interesting that

i'm bret baier, live at the white house. and good evening, everybody. >> i'm martha maccallum at fox news world headquarters here in new york. president biden is expected to explain his reasoningnt biden for o the ending of his reelection effort. he will also outlines what het e intends to do in the final months tas 107 days left in office. >> we have seen some speech excerptsice. seen so so far.s -c one of them has the president saying that defending democrac de is more important than any title. >> another that thee great thing about america is kings and dictators do not ameri rule, the people do. >> our panel standing by. we're going to have complete analysis when we after this address. and just a quick ones around. dana, your thoughts as we wait. the president momentarily ready to speak. you know, we only heard from the president just about a week ago when he addressedn the failed assassination attempt of former president donald trump. and what he's at a point in his life right now where he doesn't communicate as well as

the next question i have, bret.k at what we have now is painful and sad. >> it is sad. >> dana: i think the next question is can he be president for the next six months? >> they are going to say, i think, that he can and he is going to give this speech and he will have all these people around him. there will be questions about national security. there will be questions about if he is not capable to be the nominee. if he is not capable by the special counsel to stand trial for the classified documents, why is he capable to have the nuclear codes? that will be the next question definitely. but i think what we're dealing with here is this evolution. just think what may happen. there may be this small primary thing, forum of candidates that happens before we get to chicago august 19th. then chicago. remember, the last democratic convention 1968, open convention, protests outside. this is going to be a wild few weeks >> dana: the transition period from one administration to the next is when you are the most vulnerable as

bret baier like we don't see him enough? i'm kidding, bret, because i know you are listening.ave charles payne, morgan or ortagus, kat timpf and jeff dye. been a while greg's panda news. a giant panda man can birthday celebrated in china. birthdays a big deal. they get all these fruit cakes and flowers and all this stuff. they offer them gifts like he is a god. i suddenly realized something, pandas are just fat men in furry costumes. nobody has ever actually touched a panda. nobody, none of our viewers have. these are fat men in panda costumes who have played a fast one on us. i think it's time to out the pandas. >> judge jeanine: ducks real? >> greg: rubber ducks. >> jesse: vacation photo montage allah juan williams. there you go, greg, not a professional recover from. that's in parker's garage. not asking for handout but it would be nice. great restaurant. there i am with my way, way too short, shorts i should not have approved that picture. we have gigi. look at those blue eyes. look at those eyes. what a stunner. unbelievable. looks nothing like me. there is a beautiful su

eastern time, bret.e don't even have a podium shot out of the roosevelt room, but nonetheless, we will hear from the president himself after the security briefing this morning. what do you anticipate as far as remarks from the president in this obvious, you know, unprecedented moment, bret? >> i think, again, a lot of tone-down on the political violence message that you heard him yesterday in brief remashes. he'll probably reflect on the call that he had with former president trump, and the white house put out just a short, little note about that saying it was cordial and short, and they expressed, you know, concerns for the former president and his family. if i do think that he'll probably have to have some details about his briefings with the attorney general, with the head of secret service. and you saw that picture of the situation room, that briefing. you know, the pennsylvania governor, shapiro, was very eloquent today on the site there. and there you see the situation room shot. about what they kn

bret: congressman, it is brett. thank you for coming on even a strict and firm supporter of israel he been at times critical of the administration some things that that is not done. arguably vice president harris has been more aggressive on being critical were prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrives here in washington to speak to congress. how big of it issued you think that will be in this race considering all the pushback you've seen from protesters and activists inside your party? >> is a member of the jewish community it's a big issue not just israel but anti-semitism. but we have seen on college campuses. it is the biden/harris administration the record on israel if you look at progressive's they hate the record on israel. as eight supporter i know they've got a lot of criticism but th there record on israel ad anti-semitism has been pretty good. biden appointing the first czar on anti-semitism. lecturer, commerce and have to admit vice president harris was a more aggressive when it came to speaking about in

bret baier is with us. bret, i find the voices of obama, pelosi, schumer, hakeem jeffries somewhat deafening tonight. your thoughts noticeably absent and not endorsing vice president harris right away. she does have a number of key endorsers, some of the names that are being circulated as possible vp's for her governor roy cooper of north carolina, governor josh shapiro in pennsylvania, senator mark kelly in arizona. all have endorsed her full throated. but you're right to say that those names are not. i think it's fascinating that we didn't see president biden today, that it was only this paper statement. you know, lbj back in 1968 gave a long televised speech about why he was stepping down. the only inclination is that he couldn't win to peter's point. and we have a statement that was read by cbs news from frank biden, the president's brother, saying that his deteriorating health was a, quote, key factor in this decision. so that's another piece of the puzzle. well, the president had claimed up until last

i didn't think he was going to be a good president, bret. he was a great president. >> reporter: vance is largely aligned with mr. trump's maga makeover of the gop. opposing abortion rights and aid for ukraine. >> that's the whole reason why me and so many others are trying to re-elect donald trump, is because the agenda actually worked. >> reporter: supporters already adding his name to campaign signs. while rnc co-chair lara trump cheering her father-in-law's pick. >> i think he'll be a great partner and i think he'll be a great advocate for this country. >> is he too much like donald trump to help you expand your coalition? >> is there anything like too much like donald trump? can you get too much donald trump? i don't think so. >> reporter: tonight the biden campaign blasting the choice with a statement reading in part "donald trump picked j.d. vance as his running mate because vance will do what mike pence wouldn't on january 6th, bend over backwards to enable trump and his extreme maga agenda." garrett haake, nbc news, milwaukee. >>> w
