, for the moment, _ pressure on president biden. davidnt, thank you - pressure on president biden. david, for the moment, thank you very - pressure on president biden. david, i for the moment, thank you very much, david waddell. let's speak to our correspondent in washington, ione wells. how much pressure has he been under to listen to the party, a growing number of people saying you know, we need another candidate if we're going to win this in november. he's been under pressure from a growing number of senators and lawmakers saying he needs to step aside. the main concern was notjust about him not losing the presidential race —— losing the race, but pulling they could lose the house representative. granting huge power to the republican party. plus all the private speculation in the us media, including briefings that close allies ofjoe biden, even the former speaker, other that close allies ofjoe biden, even the formerspeaker, otherfigures that close allies ofjoe biden, even the former speaker, otherfigures in the former speaker, otherfig

david biden's, age and cognitive abilities are the shadow in his campaign, which a growing chorus of little make his se increases his risk of losing to donald trump . in november i spoke earlier toward his form on the director of politics at bard college, berlin. i asked him if it is possible for biden to continue under this kind of pressure. i think we are very much approaching, but typically part, i mean we have the public figures like george clooney calling for buy them to step down. we have important top democrats that are making similar singers, insinuations, or you from the point blank argue that he should be reconsidering his bid. so i think we really are approaching the moment where he definitely has to take a decision. of course, it would be a huge gamble, really, from the democrats at this stage to replace bite and with somebody else. do you think the way that they are increasingly looking at it is that it is more of a gamble to continue with abiding no thing. so, i mean, we're in on charter territory really and nobody knows what's going to happen is by them does step down

david biden's, age and cognitive abilities, the shadowing his campaign in which a growing chorus of little make his se increases his risk of losing to donald trump in november or the one across. now is it to the republican convention in milwaukee and that is, we're our washington bureau chief in this poll. she is. she's been the really reporter for us this week. and it's good to see you. i'd like to talk about bite me just a moment, but 1st tell me about the republicans where you are white now. are they between j the vance euphoria and donald trump anticipation. that's a good way to put it brand new. yeah, the mode is extraordinary. here people are so happy they're so confident that they will win the presidential election. this has really changed the rise here in sunday . and then of course, they moved still was kind of overshadowed by the summation to attend on donald trump. but know, especially after this brilliant speech of j. d. a. when's last night here? the republicans in milwaukee are super happy. they come pay and we just attended a briefing this morning. they couldn't be a more co

lady again because she does all the reporting loves the power and hunter biden needs a few things from his dad in the parking are. davider biden is helping him with scripts including the scotus decision last week. >> do you know anybody that voted for hunter biden, according to reports he is running a fair amount of our government, that is scary. david: president biden had another gas in pennsylvania over the weekend, he claimed the state got him across the line when he was ready for delaware senate seat. roll tape. >> even when i was running for senate, each time iran, quite frankly not a joke, philadelphia and particular coming across the line. [cheering] i'm not joking. i mean it, seriously organization and the whole deal. david: he may not be joking but is making a mistake. >> he pivoted and said it was organizationally but he can't back away this weekend he said on thursday independence day, hohokam independence day, santa isn't coming. david: todd is here for the whole hour. another radio show host the interviewed president biden after the debate admitted to receiving questions from the campaign, what is the radi

david: okay, it was under 2% and the average for biden is over 6% so it's just a ridiculous claim that his policies are going to actually increase inflation or leave inflation as it is. they're making that claim and a headline from cbs saying that trump says he'll end inflation nightmare. put that up on the screen. economists say trump economics could drive up prices. kevin, you're an economist. can you explain how they make that bang shot that somehow trump is going to cause an increase in inflation with his plans? >> they're all siting my old friend that inflation would go up a lot under tram and if you look, every election cycle, mark, who's run campaign events for nancy pelosi and comes out with a study and bad for republicans and good for democrats and the fact is that president trump's policies gave us high growth and low inflation below the 2% target for three years before covid and covid is not trying to put that in the data and he did that with policies that he now wants to magnify a bit and going forward and expect higher growth and lower inflation and argument they make for

biden and his campaign have been having. but those actually predate the debate. david: yes with. >> fiasco that we saw. in the spring trump was starting to catch and surpass joe biden when it came to fund raising. and i think part of it was this lawfare strategy backfiring. the way that these lawsuits were being brought if to either put the president in jail or bankrupt him and so forth, it's all backfired. so that fund raising problem has continued. but the real problem the democrats have, david, i think is so long as we are talking about joe biden's age and health, we're not talking about the issues that the democrats want to talk about. we're not going to be talking about abortion or january 6th of his -- or his legal problems. this is going to suck up all the oxygen in the room. every flub that he makes is going to be blown up, and and that is their problem right now. david: well, kim, going back to your point, one of the strongesy themself, the strongest ally joe biden has right now is from the progressive left. that tells you everything you know about what he has given to the left and, frankly, t

david biden's, age and cognitive abilities are the shadow in his campaign, a which of course of little make his say increases his risk of losing to donald trump in november. we did the use washington bureau tv. this whole joins me now from the republican national convention in milwaukee. good evening to you, eat us before we talk about the g o. p. i'd like to discuss this growing list of building democrats who publicly or privately don't think the joe biden can win against donald trump in november. the latest addition to this list is former president or rock obama. tell me, what did you heard today? yeah, and that's of course huge. i mean, uh, joe biden worked under the rock obama of rock obama and drove by and that was really close. and what we uh here is the brook obama only talk, one's a to president fight, and after his weak performance during this debate. but that the pressure from this in the democratic policy, really gods hire, that the former president obama also spoke of is a bite. and to step down of to advance to below is the talk to him. officer hakim jeffries, talk to a re

david: that's right, that's right. >> everything with biden is the past. talk about the future. o anything. david: what happens? how do democrats deal with all of this? what is their plan. >> they can't use the cheap fake theory anymore. that went out the window. david: that's gone. that's gone. >> they will have to pull him out. he is not electable. david: who will run, who will they put in. >> the vegas odds gavin newsom or michelle obama are top picks. i don't think they want to go on that short notice against donald trump. i think democratic party lost all the way to november. david: the editor of "the wall street journal" david, you have to think low. this was during the clinton administration he would say that. a lot of people saying what is going on. how low do you think democrats will go in order to try to pull this off. >> state of the union he was screaming and quilting. next day with rally, filled with energy. what happened at night, what they usually give him, not give him that. that is one conspiracy theory. maybe they didn't give him the normal stuff. david: he wasn

biden. how do you think he'll proceed? >> without question, you are right, david. e biden saw as his legacy the preservation and the strengthening of democracy, particularly in face of the challenges that we saw from donald trump. he rested the presidency from donald trump in 2020 and he called this the central cause of his presidency. he returned us to democratic norms and traditions. he revived nato around the liberation of ukraine from russian aggression. so much of his legacy is around that. i think he saw that he wasn't the person to continue that quest, that he had to hand the torch over to the next generation. the presumptive nominee, obvious person is kamala harris. this speech will show people he has the mental acuity, stamina to maintain the role of president. given the chance to endorse his political heir, kamala harris, david. we are caught up in history and know how consequential these times are. >> we heard it from leaders on the democratic side. former presidents, first ladies, former president clinton, former secretary of state clinton, former presid

that from hunter biden tonight. >> david: no matter where you are on the political spectrum, there's a family going through this after decades of public sufrbts. >>> the trump campaign responding to president biden's decision to step aside. the campaign preparing for vice president harris to become the democrat, nominee. also releasing a campaign ad attacking harris' record. here again, rachel scott. >> reporter: donald trump's response to joe biden's historic decision to bow out of the race tonight, attack, attack, attack. trump, who just days ago pledged to unify the country, blasting biden as the worst president by far in the history of our nation, adding whoever the left puts up now will just be more of the same. it was just over a week ago after the attempt on trump's life that trump and biden shared what both men described as a good, respectful chat. biden calling his rival. >> i spoke with him last night. i'm grateful he's doing well and jill and i keep him and his family in our prayers. >> reporter: tonight, trump declaring biden was not fit to run for president. and is certai

latest leading democrats cooling on joe biden, to step down from the presidential race consent david biden's, age and cognitive abilities are the shadow in his campaign, which a growing chorus of little make his se increases his risk of losing to donald trump in november as well earlier to indeed of the reporter stuff in simon's in washington, i asked him how significant it is to see why makers like a democratic representative. adam shift calling for president, bite into a band and his re election campaign. it's there you wouldn't think it is. uh, i mean, congressman from california. he, in the us congress, a representative bob to adam. see if it's not just adams, if he's a really philly reknown, a figure because he was a, a big dog in the impeachment, trials against donald trump. you may remember. and of course, he is regarded as a close confidant of nancy pelosi and here is where it's getting interesting. it seems that nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house, and who retired from this of course, years ago. now, i'm pulling the strings here a report of the she had now 2 conversations

david: meanwhile, president biden has made clear he wants ukraine to join nato.s probably going to be a point of discussion this week. what do you any about that? clearly putin put out the word that if something like that happens, he's going to double up his campaign against ukraine. will the nato allies advise biden against this? an attack against one is an attack against all and we'll all go to war if somebody attacks one of us f. we have ukraine join nato at this time, we're declaring war on russia. there's a nato and russia war and nobody in the united states want this is or the european leaders either. david: kt mcfarland, always a pleasure. thank you for being here. now this, winners of elections in france and britain are faced with soaring debts and deficits. lauren, any plan to tackle the debt? lauren: yeah, spend more money. that's the plan. david: that's smart. that's smart. lauren: we spoke about this with steve forbes earlier and the party with the most seats in the french parliament wants to increase the minimum wage and lower retirement age and free

the biden family, including first lady jill biden, son hunter biden and their grandchildren, gathered at camp davidously scheduled meeting, offering their unequivocal support. family meeting at the presidential residence took place as biden and his company faced an avalanche of calls for the president to withdraw from the presidential debate . this man has been engaged in public activities for more than 50 years, and his decline in recent years cannot be disputed, this is not a matter of stuttering, this is not a right-wing conspiracy, this is real. obvious to anyone with eyes and ears, but the vast majority of the media is asking you not to believe your lying eyes and ears and believe the story that biden is fine. eighty a one-year old man will most likely die in 7 years, and this is longer than the presidential term, when he is at risk of getting sick or dying, and this should be a concern. this is the first time i've seen democrats and republicans agree on something in a long time. this is how twitter owner elon musk commented on the message that awareness of biden’s cognitive degradation had un

president. from david willis. president biden covering a lot of ground. what stood out to you? the covering a lot of ground. what stood out to you?— stood out to you? the simple fact of the — stood out to you? the simple fact of the matter _ stood out to you? the simple fact of the matter is - stood out to you? the simple fact of the matter is that - stood out to you? the simple fact of the matter is that joel fact of the matter is thatjoe biden could have performed push—ups orjumping jacks on push—ups or jumping jacks on the push—ups orjumping jacks on the stage at nato today and it still would not have dissuaded some in his party, his own party, from believing he is simply past his prime, too old for a second term in the white house. he confused of cost before this press conference president zelensky of ukraine for president putin of russia and also at the press conference computers kamala harris for donald trump and he nonetheless made clear he has nonetheless made clear he has no intention whatsoever of pulling out of this ra

meanwhile, sources telling nbc that during the preplanned trip to camp david, biden has told by his kids grand kids and told, quote, to keep fighting despite his performance. we have megan cassella with more on this story. megan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, frank. that is right. the biden campaign looking to restore confidence among supporters and almost in damage control mode. despite the debate, biden is still the one to beat trump in november. they are doing it with fund raising. it raised $33 million from thursday through saturday with most of that, $26 million, coming from grassroots donors. thursday was their best ever day of small dollar fundraising and friday was the second best. biden needs wealthy donors. he attended three fund-raisers this weekend. i spoke with the attendees at the new york city and hamptons events. they were reassured by the president. he seemed strong and healthy. one described the mood as concerned enthusiasm. another people said the people at new york city event said they will do more to get biden to win. it was a cold shower shock for democra

welcome to you both, david biden did better and they interviewed them the debate, but that is actuallytty low bar. will he be the nominee. if not, how will democrats pick his replacement? >> yell, there is a lot of questions to be answered.s a as congress gets back to lcapitol hill tomorrow, there is going to be a lot more talking. as they see the poll numbers and if it shows biden will weigh them down, then i think you are going to see more calls foror e joe biden to step aside, particularly the leadership your chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries get involved and worried abouout t their members, that will be a push in a direction to make joe bidenlo rethink this spirit about t we'e got about a month to go beforeus august 7th deadline and then a little longer until the convention. so regardless it might be a heated, crazy convention, but when the gavel comes in and we have the final nominee whether joe biden or someone else, the democrats will be united t o make sure that trump does not enter the white house again. >> trey: all right, kevin, let's listen to some of thosede seared democra

has to be shown to be a complete false as biden is probably color blind by this. because he can't even recognize these red lines that he's painting, well david, trump called biden a bad palestinian and nobody pushed back against that, mean what do you think that says about public discourse in the united states? well mean public discourse in the us just like it in in the uk is fundamentally and deeply deeply racist and of course the idea of palestinian like it's like a bad muslim isn't it? but people i don't think i've heard the phrase bad palestinian but that's you sort of joined infamy in the right? the the idea of the bad m so yeah, mean they're not going to push back because no one recognizes antian racism as a form of racism even, mean just about islamophobia, but hardly anyone in the mainstream recognizes antian racism, they simply can't see it, they karam, current polling suges that donald trump's going to be elected as the next us president in november, how do you think that that would affect us policy on palestine? donald trump will have much stronger position in this? in this regard, he is ardent zionist, he is surrounded by zionist

republican senator james david vance biden's rhetoric caused the shooting. trump said that this american senator said that the main hypothesis of the biden team is that trump is a fascist in his own right, which must be stopped at all costs . the speaker of the us house of representatives and the chairman of the armed forces committee of the house of representatives also demanded an explanation from the security agencies about the assassination attempt on trump . trump at an election rally. he was shot in pennsylvania but survived. one person was shot at trump one of the people present in the ceremony was killed and two people were seriously injured. the shooter, who was a 20-year-old man from pennsylvania, was killed. thank you very much for your attention and support. in the name of god, light upon light. in the name of god, light upon light. in the name of god. light upon light. in the name of god . praise be to god, who created light from light, praise be to god, who created light from light, and sent down light, and sent down light to god the great. all

is this a moment of escalation for the push from joe biden to step out, john? remember david 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 to build a blue wall. david axelrod has been raising the red flag for some time. longer than some other prominent democrats. >>> john: it brings to mind how this is folding to john jay oppenheimer's device where there is a explosion that creates a chain reaction and everything goes. i think we are seeing the explosion, the chain reaction may be moments away. let's bring in mollie hemingway a senior editor for the federalist and a fox news contributor. i wanted to put of the george clooney quote again because this book in the last 9. op-ed in "the new york times" which he says the joe biden i was with three weeks

because of high fences of camp david, the biden family , meanwhile, is trying to pretend that nothingerrible is happening. jill biden appeared on the cover of wok magazine with an extensive interview about life as the first lady during the election. and joe, who finds himself in the political minority, posts videos on social networks in... absence joe biden is expected to arrive this evening, here in a sitting mode he will work as president for several days, including taking part in celebrations on the occasion of us independence day, and how whatever the family's decision about the future participation in the election race? the president will return here to the oval office as a rather battered lame duck. dmitry melnikov and pavel kostrikov, news from washington. the winners of the nika national film award have been named in moscow. in the honor and dignity category , people's artist alexander shirvin is posthumously worthy of the award. the best feature film was the film the righteous by sergei ursulyuk. he also received an award for best director. the best non -gaming one. alexander

and david axelrod, let me start with you. what did anything can president biden do tonight to slow the growing calls from democrats for him to step aside. i'm not sure he can slow it, wolf, but he can accelerate it if he if he stumbles or if he says some of the things he said in his interview with george stephanopoulos that enraged some democrats. but i really think this debate is in a kind of advanced stage now and a lot of people have made up their minds including voters and now it's really a question of how the president internalizes all of that and what decision he wants to make. because at the end of the day it is his decision but obviously there's going be a lot of eyes on this on this press conference. the stumble with the introduction of president zelenskyy was unfortunate in an unfortunate prelude to this, but i'm not sure this press conference is determinative. i think that a lot of minds have been made up, and i think these next 48 hours hours are going to be very important. >> david, the new york times, as you know, is reporting that some longtime bid

has to be shown to be a complete falsehood as biden is probably color blind by this because he can't even recognize the red lines that he's painting. well david, um, trump called biden a bad palestinian, and uh, nobody pushed back again sights. i mean, what do you think that says about public discourse in the united states? well, i mean, public discourse in the us, just like it is in in the uk, is fundamentally. deeply deeply racist and of course the the idea of bad palestinian like it's like a bad m isn't it? people i don't think of heard the phrase bad palestinian but that's you know sort of joined in infamy in the rights demonology. the idea of the bad muslims, so yeah, i mean, they're not going to push back, because no one recognizes anti-palestinian racism as a form of racism even, i mean, just about islamophobia, but hardly anyone in the mainstream recognizes antipalistin racism, they simply can't see it, no, indeed, well, karen, current pollings donald trump's going to be elected as the next us president in november, how do you think that that would affect us policy on palestine? donald trump will have much stronger position in this...

which is different than saying that they prefer joe biden as the alternative. >> absolutely. and to david's polling saying joe biden was too old. actually, they also said donald trump is too old as well. but what we saw in the debate reenforced america's fears about biden being too old. now they're trying to pivot. i don't blame them. good thing to do. but it's not enough to change the conversation because they haven't come out with enough of an explanation and what they're doing going forward to their base. they don't have to do it necessarily all with the public yet. we haven't seen that. they may be hoping this is a weird week. it's a holiday week. and that they can use the nato visit next week to show him being presidential. i would look for the polls taken that week to see how strong he may be. but what the harris trump poll told me is that people really want an alternative to donald trump and they're even willing, and i hate to say it, but it's true, even willing to go with the vice president instead of joe biden. >> we were talking before about the reserve, the well of good feeling.

david: for the democrats, it is a day question of, is it biden or someone else?this is the thing. you're looking at a scenario where time is growing thin. democrats have to make a decision sometime this month because they have to be able to vote for the nominee. joe biden has an ironclad lead among delegates so he has the nomination unless he decides he doesn't. the presumptive person if he does not is kamala harris. if not joe biden then probably harris. i'm also watching that donald trump has tried to keep what for him is a little bit of a quieter bar. he is still posting on truth social but it does been a more restrained trump. sometime this week you would think we might hear a vice presidential announcement. you would expect donald trump to have a vice president walking into his convention. he will inevitably put them -- put himself back into the news cycle. democrats returning to washington this week and a lot of members of congress will get together in person and you can imagine on the democratic side, there will be one topic looming over the rest and that

that said, david, running as the nominee of a party where the entire elected leadership thinks you should go is not sustainable. bidenlistening to those arguments. but he is still at least at the moment insisting he's staying in. >> david: under extraordinary pressure. >> oh, my god. >> david: as you describe it. so many unknowns here. and of course, if he were to step aside, folks at home want to know, well, who would it be? would it automatically be vice president kamala harris? we know other names have been talked about, popular pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, michigan governor gretchen whitmer's name has been out there. we've seen kentucky governor andy beshear mentioned, as well. how would this work, or is it impossible to know? >> well, look. the party has no shortage of rising stars that could be contending. and look, kamala harris would be the clear front-runner. so some of those names you just mentioned could be her running mate if she were to take over. but make no mistake no plan yet. at least biden is not part of any plan yet. >> david: it's his decision to make, and as you say right now, all-in. >> y

biden there, too. the decision his alone to make. >> david: we're hoping for a quick recovery for the president from covid. mary bruce is in delaware for us tonight. and we've seen the national polling here. weeks now, after that poor debate performance, president biden, donald trump, still locked in a very tight race nationally, trump ahead by one or two points in many of the national polls. but obviously, this race is going to be decided in the key battleground states. the electoral college, and trump is leading in all of those key battlegrounds. so, do we know, i'm curious, if the president is being shown any polling, indicating that vice president kamala harris would perform any better in those key battlegrounds? >> reporter: well, david, a source tells me the president has asked to see polling on kamala harris, and how she would do. now, we don't know exactly what numbers he's looking at, but two days ago, out on the campaign trail, the president saying of harris, quote, she's not only a great vice president, she could be president of the united states. david? >> david: all of this moving quickly. ma

, sister, children and grandchildren, joe biden is trying to comprehend the scale of the disaster he finds himself in after the debate fiasco. at the camp davidce, the biden family is in full force, awaiting the results of national polls. it is the inner circle, and not biden himself. as he is assured, based on their results, he will decide what joe will do next. in the absence of the president, washington is in flames, biden's failure at the debates these days is the main and only topic. now is the time to sound the alarm. i don't think we should sugarcoat reality. it wasn't like that the debate performance the biden campaign was hoping for or needed. but america, as it turns out, is not ruled by the president, but by his family, who hastened to blame biden’s advisers for his shameful speech. members of joe biden's family have privately criticized his top advisers, blaming them for the president's debate failures and calling for biden to fire or demote people in his top political leadership. biden's family wants the president to continue his campaign rather than end his career disastrous debate performances against trump, whom they all hate.

meanwhile, members of president biden's family meeting at camp david this weekend reportedly blaming his top campaign advisors and cnn moderators for the poor debate performance, saying advisors overprepared him and should be fired. the report states jill biden and hunter were the loudest voices urging the president to stay in the 2024 contest. republican national committee co-chair lara trump joining maria on sunday morning futures. watch. maria: does president obama run that? i mean, what -- how do you get the super delegates to agree to make a change? >> it's a huge question. i mean, we've never seen ourselves in a place like this in america, these really are unchartered waters and i'm sure they're scrambling on the democrat side right now. forget the fact that joe biden clearly doesn't have the cognition and the ability to run the country. i mean, his policies have driven this country into the ground and been very detrimental so i don't know what they're doing over there. cheryl: it was interesting to watch the sunday shows yesterday in general, not just maria's coverage of it but

reporter: there are no plans for president biden to step down as the presumptive democratic nominee, and he has his family's full support. they huddled at camp david all weekend where first lady dr. jill biden spoke to "vogue" magazine for its august cover story. she downplayed biden's performance, insisting they will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he's been president. we will continue to fight. >> i know i'm not a young man. >> reporter: the biden campaign is making the same case with a new ad showing the president at a rally the day after the debate. >> i know how to do this job. i know right from wrong. >> reporter: considerably sharper and more energetic than when he was on stage with donald trump. >> if we finally beat medicare -- >> reporter: a new cbs news poll shows how the debate impacted voters with 72% saying biden does not have the mental and cognitive health to serve as president compared to 65% before the debate. 50% believe trump does. among registered democrats 54% think biden should run for president. 46% say he should not. trump weighed in on a radio show. >> they say getting around is very hard because he has the

biden should leave the race." "washington post" columnist david ignatius wrote a piece headlined "why biden didn't accept the truthas there for all to see." "the new yorker's" david remnick wrote in a piece headlined "the reckoning of joe biden" -- of about four biden to remain the democratic candidate would be an act not only of self-delusion but of national endangerment. to go on contending that his good days are more plentiful than the bad, to ignore the inevitability of time and aging, doesn't merely risk his legacy -- it risks the election." chris, you've been following all of this. president biden was supposedly hunkered down at camp david with his family to make a decision. apparently, they were there for an annie leibovitz photo shoot. talk about the fallout. it is uncharted territory for sure. out of all of those quotes from the various pieces, we are in a moment where things are true like donald trump should not be a major party nominee. he tried to overthrow the government. it is not upholding the constitution, which is in the oath of office. biden's situation has not improved after a week of flexion ab

and have paid for this data and the people who were close to biden and can't get through to him yeah, absolutely. i mean, this is mean to david's point that biden that we saw publicly is the biden that people have seen privately for a long time and there's real agile and concern among a lot of democrats, including people within biden world, that job, that the people around joe biden are unwilling to tell him things he doesn't want to hear all right. >> stay sick around. we got a lot more to discuss up next, congress flies back to dc tomorrow as we've been talking about so the big question, will their return compound biden's problems with his party? we're going to continue that discussion after this break tonight so classic bottle whale versus sharp leviathan was the top of the food chain. okay maybe eight megs short greek starts tonight at eight on discovery and stream on max. >> it's so easy to get your windshield and place using safe flight, telling people i haven't done it, started off as it shifts and it just keeps going. so what do we do now? i've scheduled an appointment as safe flight.com i'm very by rupert, safely repla

president biden came back from camp david reearly to lash out thea the supreme court. >> president biden: this co country, each of us is equal before the law, no one is above the law, not even the president of the united states. >> this was a 6-3 decision yesterday that presidents have some level of immunity for official acts they take as president. no immunity for private actions. drawing that line is where it gets dicey. justice sonia sotomayor wrote, when he uses official power under majority reasoning, he will beince latocha scott- scott-bivensed -- organizes a military coup to hold on to power, takes a >> bbribe over a pardon, immune, immune, im immuneit. chief roberts responded, chilling doom that is disproportionate to what the court does today. official discussions and remand to lower court to what extent trump's conduct is entitled to immunity. decent level accusation that the court rendered the president above the law. this touched off a firestorm among many democrats. calling for constitutional amendment to reverse this decision and interesting timeline for former president tr
