>> bret: more on this with brit hume and dr. siegel in just a bit. peter, another topic, why did the white house urge lawmakers to vote against a bill that requires voters to prove their they're u.s. citizens? >> they are insisting in a rare official statement of administration policy that there are already laws that prevent non-citizens from voting and in their estimation, it is rare for non-citizens to try to vote in u.s. elections. bret? >> bret: okay. peter doocy live on the north lawn. thanks. additional non-ranking democrats asking president biden to step aside. several democratic senators are also casting doubt doubt on the president's. aishah hasnie has that part of the story live from capitol hill. good evening, aishah. >> bret, good evening to you. senate majority leaderboard chuck schumer said today that he is for joe biden. but his senate democratic colleagues are not on the same page. and that includes intel chair mark warner who just last week was reported to be rounding up a group of senate democrats to call on president biden to step

hamilton is a big hume guy in humans. the conservative who exalts the british constitution, jefferson is a whig who reads cato's letters and sees hume as of honeyed tory ism. so his conception of states rights and limited power is derived from the whigs and hamilton with nationalism, from hume. but what all of these people share both the enlightenment, the classic folks, is a devotion, what we would call now, the liberal idea, limited government, the need for individual self-mastery, that the core of virtue. and it all comes from readings. it is really exciting to see the american mind being distilled in this remarkable period of the 1760s and seventies from these kids who all went to around the same time. some were self taught someone to the great universities. they're reading their books and they're distilling the essence of american constitutionalism. that's fascinating. and you have a book coming on this subject this year. so this year preview when jeff first told you about this, i think we're in williamsburg. at the

now let's bring in fox news chief political analyst brit hume, somebody who has covered washington for decades. reacting to this earthquake in american politics. brit, your thoughts? well, i think this is a case of the president making peace with the reality that he couldn't win. the support was ebbing away from him and the donations, as brett baird has pointed out, were beginning to dry up. support among for him among major leaders within his own party had had slipped away from him. and obviously, in addition to that, the polling was negative, very bad. his pride. i think, is what kept this decision open for as long as it did. but i think when we look back on the history of this time, mike, it will be believed by nearly everybody that this this outcome would became inevitable once that debate happened. and he did so poorly in it. does it sting even more? brit, when you consider that pelosi, schumer, people he served with for decades were kind of leading the charge against him, i'm sure it does, and i'm sure it has. he's a proud man and at times a stubborn man. and, you know, these peo

i think hume was scottish. we don't have tom paine's reading diary. we don't have his grade school teachers leaving a summer reading list so we do not know what he read in what order or what he made of it. it has been up to sophisticated scholars to try to parse those details but certainly he had a grammar school education back in england that equipped him with not just literacy skills but a voracious intellectual curiosity. peter: speaking of back in england at what point did you find yourself interested in the american society? [laughter] richard: i grew up in england not ever being taught anything about the american revolutionary war which is probably because england was the losing side in that conflict and i think every nation has a habit of reflexively telling its schoolchildren stories in which their home nation looks good. so i learned a lot about world war ii when of course britain single-handedly fought the nazis without any help from any other country. that is the help -- the history i learned when i was small. so i came late to the subject

brit hume, dana perino and harold ford jr. brit we haven't seen a moment like this. no i know i've covered a lot of these. i've always loved all this hoopla. and ever since lee greenwood's made that song, popular more than 40 years ago, it's been an anthem of the republican party, particularly at the reagan era. and now it is back. and i suppose you couldn't have picked a song that would whip this crowd up any better than that one did. as he was making this entrance here tonight, that bandage on his left ear being the or his right ear, excuse me. being the result of what could have been an assassin's successful bullet. i mean, it's a stunning moment, dana, two days ago, this man came within a millimeter of losing his life in a very violent manner. and we just watched him walk in these hallways, and you could feel this crowd just building and building. and he does have that bandage over his ear. the mark of that bullet. i haven't felt energy like this in a long time. and, i mean, we have been here and there's been no one in the crowd. tonight is the first night and it

[laughter] and i was glad i did -- bill: brit hume did not want his name -- >> i ran away.l: can i tell you something quickly about the current president, joe biden, and what he does. i think it would be smart to do an oval office statement today. quickly. >> i wouldn't be surprised if that's what they do. we waited a while for anything from the president yesterday, then we had a somewhat scatter-shot response by that podium in delaware. they sent him back to the white house last night. i would imagine something script ised is in order -- scripted is in order today at some point. dana: we'll see if they meet the moment. brit, guy, thank you. >> thank you. bill: we'll be right back here in milwaukee on a day of history yet again. bill: so new reporting now, the "wall street journal" says the suspected shooter had explosive devices in his car. that's according to sources in butler, pennsylvania. age 20 the, matthew thomas crooks, the gun pennsylvania. he was shot and killed with a sniper's bullet on top of that building about 300 yards from where the president was speaking he

one thing to dovetail of what brit hume was saying of course anyone going to a presidential in this caseough metal detectors before going in there. we did see for president trump going off the video you are showing he did stand up on his suv with his fist raised it does not appear that he is seriously hurt. but certainly here rehoboth beach with president biden we are awaiting at this in-kind statement from the white house certainly any on camera statement from president biden later. shannon: are getting worse still images giving us a little bit more of a picture of what was happening with president trump it looks like there may be, hard to tilt may be a little bit of blood on his face. you can see them fully capable, fully in his faculties he raises a fist and walks out of there as a secret service is trying quickly to get him moving. we will wait to find out more about the details of this. we continue to say these are heroes immediately guarding the president. immediately right there actively doing what they do which is pledged to protect anyone that is in their care. lucas, please let

this is san hume tonight, the of the news as possible to get lost in time wells come to kentucky and see for yourself here. several groups are remaining in their own bubble of sorts, surrounded by these beautiful last samples of the ancient conditions and culture. and if we've come this far, we know that it's going to be worth the journey. the either i might say a chance this is direct impact, and this is what we're going to be talking about. it is a miracle president. trump wasn't killed cheadle. because donald trump is alive and thank god he is you looking competent? well guess what? the director channel, she's out after getting way laid by the entire u. s. congress. we're going to show it to you and then might take, which is a little different. this is direct impact on rec, sanchez, let's do this. the, the . all right, let's get started with the big story that everybody's still talking about all over america. and what may will be remembered as one of the least democratic moments, least democratic moments in our country's history. the media, the democratic party overlords. um polit

and the m, and i would then, but most the, but the minute hume, i've had some hail damage oci. it was a, i don't know who to trust. and most of them seem aggressive and they seem to be funded by some, uh, you know, lobbies which have their own agenda right now at this point, it's important to highlight that there are many of us who do not feel distance from the climate classes and a not put off by a sense of june around climate use, but the food various disciplines struck a chord with me because as a definite dissonance in some of the choices we make it daily lives. dependence is best described as an fina discomfort. when your actions don't correspond with what you know and believe, people often experience dissonance when the facts that they understand and agree with. for example, that learning fulfills contributes to climate change, conflicts with what they actually do, such as driving or taking flights. if the brain picks up that you're not feeling too good about yourself, and it comes up with justifications like your car, isn't that the neighbors car? he's even worse or my c

secretary hume ancient vice president harris that you give a key player hit can you give an example ofve seen that and what you hope to achieve in the remaining six months? looking back at your tenure when you see your legacy what has whn your biggest regret you have had in the past three and half years? >> in terms of specific examples of vice president harasses input to decision making processes we will go back to the same place courtney was trying to get me too to provide information that we dealt with in the process. i'm not going to do that. but what i will tell you if you are just went to look at the things we have done over the past three and half years, the strikes it had to take the deployments we have run the decision she's always therapy part of the process and very engaged. the one thing i would also try who is she absolute loves troops. she comes from a state of california where you know that there are a lot of troops in that state. she has always been focused on the welfare of our troops and families as well. that is what i know. and again she has been thoroughly engaged

in a word, hume, of course, joins this whole flow of positive attitude, telling us, first of all, notis my path, this is my life, my destiny, life and destiny from monday to friday on rtr, love is when you look in one direction, look, look, look, look, look, let's see , look, well, look at the screen, look at me, carefully, look, look, agreement, sign, we sign simultaneously for 1, 2 , three, sign up, look, look, maybe we’ll go to my place, just watch a movie, please, introduction and roll call, without formation, i’m very glad that you came to visit me, how much tea have you drunk, how many stories? i was daring in a white tuxedo, and i start, then mark antolyevich disappears into the pile zakharov, and for me it was probably akin to the appearance of christ to the people, how many secrets were told, i, as a man, a hunter of women, i like to attack, dad imagined that i would have a completely different husband, and how much more was ahead, i foresaw your destiny, now everything is only being fulfilled. i give up everything with joy, let's all wave our hands when everyone is at home w

bret: let's bring in our panel, brit hume, dana perino and harold ford jr. brit, your thoughts? >> it is often said that money is the mother's milk of politics, but there is a force at least as important and that is emotion. political conventions invariably strive for that. they strive to inspire the delegates is and to the larger television audience, they strive for a feeling. and tonight particularly in the speeches you just referenced, you and bret were just talking about those ordinary if americans -- by those the ordinary americans. it was clear that the speakers had the convention hall in their grip, they had the audience in hair grip, i think,9 and the audience beyond in their grip. it is emotion of that kind, you could feel it in this hall tonker is often strived for, rarely achieved. i think at least for that period of these speeches tonight, it was achieved. bret: dana? >> i have three basic things. one, we also saw a lot of unity in the early hours, right? so one of the things that the trump campaign wanted to do at this convention is try to bring everybody together.

not like sam donaldsson or brit hume did back in the day pressing reagan on serious questions. >> thinkrty have made about the president, the democratic party has been a crime against its voters. the fact that the news media is not asked a tough question is incredible disservice to the people that view them and read their copy. easy way of updating this conversation as well. in the fuss media were doing its job right now. they would ask one question. and they would insist on this one question. and this question is this: will the president agree to go before the country in a "primetime" news conference. and if he can handle that, then maybe he gets through. this but, if he can't handle that, then he is certainly cannot handle the role of the commander-in-chief. i mean, if you think about the white house putting out this information that he is only available from 10:00 p.m. -- 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., i mean, i can't understand the stupidity of that. i mean that is an invitation to hamas, or any other adversary to attack after 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon, 11:00 p.m., i mean, the poor way i

let's get analogy from brit hume.arris and other democrats say that this document, project 2025 is essentially, you know, a blueprint for the end of the world. it includes everything from a federal ban on abortion to ivf now being in question. some of the stuff out there is true. some of it is not. what's your biggest take away from this. >> brit: it's kind of a conservative activist wish list of policies and practices that they would like to see the next president take. that president, they believe,will be trump. but it is manifestly not the republican platform which is out and available to be seen. shannon mentioned it in passing. that's only a 16-page document. it's quite general. but it is not -- it does not comport with this project 25 agenda which looks to me like something the democrats have seized on in an effort to overcome the problems they are having with their likely nominee at the moment, mr. biden, the president everybody ought to be skeptical. >> let's talk about strategy for both campaigns trump has be

bret: let's bring in brit hume, dana perino, harold ford jr. with.ou were taking some notes over there. this is something. >> i just think you actually hit on a lot of them. i do think there's a consensus from social media and here in the room99 that the gold star family moment was the most sobering but also the most unify being. and yet you still feel, and you can hear it behind us, there is joy in this convention center and a determination if that i can't stop thinking about the fact that the democrats are having the opposite effect right now. biden is spiraling, you guys. he -- this is a situation where you might see something happen, i think, or in the next several days. martha: yeah. i don't remember, brit, a more dramatic sequence of events surrounding the convention period for as long as i've been doing this. do you? >> i'm an old man, i've covered a lot of stories, and i don't think i've seen a sequence like the last several days. bret: this is donald trump jr. coming out. he's a big proponent of the main speaker tonight, senator j.d. vance,

read david hume, which we never read in philosophy on moral or moral and the basic moral of the scottishns is was we're just filled■[/ with. as joanna, my wife. i am. and just we remember the classical virtue of stomach, temperance, courage wisdojustic. try to keep them under col reas. and that's what madison ss.9 mua problem. there will be factis. factions r this country, butt' country and the factions will all be different in different places and time it taim these vt those three things together and you will have time reflect and they in the government like they have reason in control. mm hmm. well, today means nothing or not zero in complexity, but it's more complex in different. and so can we find that substitute? can we find that substitute root for? those things others and they'rer madison and the others thought would bring the country under control. the, ways get people to read and read deeply. that's i know what kennedy used to sa senator kennedy he would say that you're trying to work on a project. you have some opposition on, find the person. and i think mills said something li

magazines will see in weeks and years to come up let's bring or pound fox news political analyst brit humebenson show on fox news radio and ghost of outnumbered white house press secretary than president trump. which is wholly former president land here in milwaukee he is now on the ground. we have talked a lot about what happened yesterday but as it sinks in it doesn't seemed like it is change the moment. >> the landscape has changed unmistakably. i will be interested to see how much it shows up in the early polls. a lot of people been surprised by the fact that joe biden's display of senility and feebleness does not seem to have shown up for much in the polls i think that is because most people have process that way ahead of the media. much of the political establishment this may be different. it presents the president as he arrives here with the real opportunity it seems to me too speak to people who will now, and that light of this be tuning into this convention which they might not have done. for giving him kind of a second look which they might have been prepared to do it will be int

senior political analyst brit hume here. >> to hear the president tell it.e was fine for running for re-election, within the race and between saturday night and sunday morning when it dawned on him that it was time for a new generation of leaders. something that had escaped his notice these many months and years. it was quite a conversion overnight it seems, if you believe it. i'm not sure i do. >> harris: david avella, gopac chairman and mark penn former clinton advisor. mark, i will come to you first. we saw the love fest on some of the liberal and legacy media. i'm curious wider for democrats how did it play? >> look, whatever, you know, i think -- >> harris: you gave the president a whatever? >> it doesn't matter. he is out. the story was sunday. harris is in. i think that everyone wants the president to be treated with dignity and i think that's pretty much what you are seeing. once he made the decision to exit, i think he has been treated with wonderful dignity, respect, and praise and sure he will get a great speech at the convention. it didn't really

fox news chief political analyst brit hume. the five co-host jessica tarlov.ressman from south carolina and byron york chief political correspondent of "the washington examiner." brit, that was a slow move up to air force one. >> yeah. and quite apart from that and that he is now ill with covid. i must say, bret, i think for the first time today that the chances are well better than even that he will not be the democratic nominee. the forces against him are growing still. more behind the scenes than in front of the scenes. but this is a situation where you have got that many people saying he shouldn't be the nominee and that many within his own party it. just seems unsustainable. >> bret: this on a day, jessica, adam schiff, the highest ranking democrat so far of the 20 others to say he should drop out. he said this: i have serious concerns about whether the president can defeat donald trump in november while the choice to withdraw from the campaign is president biden's alone. i believe it is time for him to pass the torch. adam schiff. adam schiff does not ma

someone who has been following politics for a long time brit hume had a reaction.said he has never seen anything like this. watch. >> the president tell it, he was fine with running for re-election. thought he could win the race and serve for four more years until some time between saturday night and sunday morning when it donned on him, apparently, that it was time for a new generation of leaders. democracy and sacredness there was more than little political motivation in his speech since democracy and salvation of it has been such a theme of his and kamala harris' collection program. but it was quite a conversion overnight, it seems, if you believe it. i'm not sure i do. i have been doing this for well more than half a century. in terms of news, this is the most tumultuous period i can think of and, you know, i think when we all look back on this in the fullness of time and perhaps with a better explanation of exactly the decision-making process the president went through it will be seen as inevitable once that debate happened that he would have to step aside. th

the cost humes ritual special language and mystery that the klan added to the violence made it seem as though their violence had some larger meaning. it made their violence tell a story. this klan violence is what i call the white war on freedom. now, it may seem odd to liken what we've been taught was the peace to war, but wars never end as neatly as we think they do. they're often followed by new conflicts. and after the civil war, the new conflict was white. southern conservatives fight to undercut black people's freedom and the establishment of a more egalitarian democracy. and so there was no peace. as one historian put it, especially not for black people in the south and african-americans like abe and eliza lion knew it. white extremists targeted black people with regularity and with shocking impunity. they shot down black male voters at the polls. they stalked black officeholders and offered them bribes to leave office. and assassinated them. or tried to assassinate them. when that didn't work. they kidnaped black men and women at gunpoint and disappeared. them disposing of thei

fox news senior political analyst brit hume says this. >> this is the kind of thing going on for a long time. we can all hope we can turn the temperature down. the country is deeply divided. passions are very intense and my concern is that this will tamp things down for a while. violence is not unamerican. there has been a ton of american throughout our history and a lot in recent his trove. another chapter in that story. a regrettable one but that's how we are. it would be lovely if we hope it could change in a permanent way. too early to get our hopes up. >> harris: there is so much there. you know what? we're capable of anything here in america but it is not just going to happen. it is not magic. i pray and encourage others to and let our actions refer and also reflect what is in our hearts when we can do better. mary kathryn and charlie, they turned off the music. i think i can go back to my regular mic now. that was very loud. quite a back drop and quite jovial. president trump said in the tweaking of his speech that's what we have to do and he can lead us. >> what you saw in the i

let's bring in our panel, fox news chief political analyst brit hume. josh kraushaar fox news radio political analyst. what it means for the campaign, what it means for the former president. >> brit: you can see why trump made the choice did he, young, very bright, dazzling articulate. i'm sure he pictured him in a debate with kamala harris and having no trouble with the competition. on the other hand, you know, if you are looking at this as someone who might be trump looking for reassurance. over the weekend, it certainly can. we learned about what kind of shape a president can be in after a few years in office when we saw joe biden's condition. i'm not sure this is that reassuring of choice. is he 39 years old. yes, is he very smart. his inexperience -- don jr. is wrong when he says experience is not important. it's very important. and he has very little of it. it makes -- people looking at him and saying is this guy a plausible president? you could argue that he is but also argue he not. >> bret: a pickleball make a pivot unifying message. we'll see.

brit hume and trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina. brit, let me start with you. your thought of the impact of this ruling and what it means big picture? >> well, obviously the most immediate impact postpone any trial by under jack smith, the special prosecutor of president trump on the cases that he is bringing against him until after the election. they have got to sort out which of these acts that are alleged against a president would be considered to be official acts as opposed to private or unfinal acts. and that's got to be, as the supreme court pointed out that wasn't briefed, the lower courts investigate it. when they were hearing it. so there is some work to be done before they can move those cases forward if indeed they can move them at all. that's point number one. point number two the dissents in the case border on hysteria. there are all this parade of horribles that was trotted out by justice society mayor poses all sorts of possibilities that are remind me of that old jewish proverb i'm an old man and i have seen a lot of most of them never happened.

let's bring in fox news chief political analyst brit hume. brit, you have been digesting.this the interview we just did. all that's happened over the past couple of days. we haven't really seen anything like this in recent memory. what are your thoughts? >> well, i don't think this is reached critical mass against the president running again. but it's closer than it was. even a day or two ago. and it seems to be building. and i think that the politicians in washington who have gone home for or in touch with their constituents are getting a full sense of just what a bad performance that was and not just a performance. what it said about president biden is quite simply that he is seen 23450eu8 and too old for this job e may be able to mount interview with friendly journalist. george stephanopoulos. one time press secretary that doesn't mean is he a bad guy. is he a rather nice guy. i must tell you that's not the toughest challenge he would face. nothing like the debate. going out and talking to people. biden is good at that. you know. he has a certain appealing always has ma

let's bring in fox news chief political analyst brit hume. brit, you heard vice president kamala harris essentially taking over the campaign, with the kamala signs in the background. and you heard the message, the pitch that she is already laying out and going back to her former prosecutor days. what did you make of it? >> well, the thing that struck me was how confident she seemed. i think she thinks she has got this and she may very well have it. nobody has come forward to challenge her. the endorsements are piling up. nancy pelosi is on board. so she looks like she is on her way. i also was struck by one other thing, bret. i think it's important to keep in mind. as she spoke there and she spoke for some period of time. she got a lot of cheers and applause by relieved, i guess, inspired group of campaign workers. the name that brought the biggest cheer was a name donald trump. the minute she mentioned him, there was a roar that was -- that surpassed all the others. which gives you an idea of where the motivation of the democratic party come

siu cipljesse: let's bring in fs senior political analyst brit hume.o does joe biden go to the convention in chicago and give a roaring defense of his presidency? a full throated endorsement of kamala harris and does kamala want that? looks i do not know the answers that i want to clear something up about the lbj speech in 1968 withdrawn from the race it has been mentioned by several people including douglas brinkley had this very long speech. in fact he did not he had a very long speech. the reason i know this i was working the night desk at upi in connecticut that night the whole text of the speech moved on that wire had it in front of me was listening on the radio. he went to the whole thing it gave no hint he was about to withdraw from the race at the end of the prepared text to speech and i thought it was all over with there was a pause and then and only then he said he would not seek nor accept his party's nomination for president i will never forget it everywhere machine in the room suddenly stopped and then there was bell's for the flash sang i

fox news chief political analyst brit hume not a cohost of the five. [laughter] but here they love to have impaired your thoughts on this question pluck. >> the message was just right. he presides over the executive branch. the executive branch is responsible for the security of these campaigns. this is one of the agencies over which he has authority whose failure the obvious failure in this case to keep this assassination attempt from happening is under scrutiny he need to be out there a need to say something as a leader of the executive branch his message was just right most americans will look at it and say you are right the feud stumble see head may be a further reminder of his frailty but nonetheless he did what he could i thought. correct darequired for someone n the position he is in at the desk he is sitting at in the oval office to say and this begins with me. i won't lead, follow me, file follow my lead i will show everyone i can do this talked about his campaign were going to get back to the campaign that was pretty clear from this. i like t

messaging is from the president tonight from the oval office there was also this analysis from brit hume earlier today on newsroom. >> i guess we can hope and pray for some relief from this poisonous political atmosphere we have been living a nap for quite some time. we live in an age of exaggeration in which everything is pushed out to its possible outer limits. nobody is dangerous, they are all hitler we can hope we can turn the temperature down but the country is deeply divided. passions are very intense. my concern is this will tamp things down for a while but it tends to wear off and we are back to where we were. >> i'm sure there are so many americans right now in this moment having very similar thoughts. cox i am sure there are. i remember in 2016 when donald trump was having his first republican convention. typically the nominee for the presumed nominee stays under wraps until thursday, the last day there's a big unveiling. trent came at on the stage on the first night for a brief appearance. i imagine he will probably get the same thing tomorrow is a republican national conventi

let's bring in our panel chief political analyst brit hume, katie pavlich town hall.com.e." charles hurt opinion editor for "the washington times." the band has kicked in full steam here. getting people fired up, brit. the band sounds like it's coming to the end for biden it. really does. >> bret: however we need to judge these reports with a certain amount of caution. one senses they may be coming from the pelosi-obama group who are trying to get the president to step aside. we're not yet hearing anything out of his camp. his inner circle that says he has been convinced. you will notice that story says she believes he can be convinced to step out. that's not saying he has been convinced. so i think they have got -- i think it will happen. we all. harold ford this weekend: bret's point is one that should be considered. democrats are ready to join this race. the republican have had an amazing convention. the preacts, preshows. the main act the stones are on at night and people want to see this. but we have got to get to a point articulate in a forceful and passionate and s

i was mentioning to brit hume earlier that the jfk assassination investigation took 44 weeks to completeat, maybe because of the length of time the it took and the secrecy and the lack of transparency, now we are 80 years since, okay, so maybe -- or 600 years since. maybe things -- 60 years since, maybe things will be different in terms of the justice. we need to know quickly, will that happen? >> you guys know from being in washington that people get a lot of sound bites, and there'll be some really tough questioning. people often feel like nothing comes from that. they want to see something substantive, that somebody is held accountable. that's going to be the real question because these folks will come out there but they'll also say there were other investigations going on, there's only so much information i can give you. if members will get closer than we do, but people are going to wallet answers about this and not just a bunch of sound bites. bill: you just got off a set nearby here hosting "fox news sunday" for an hour. what have you learned about how this week changes or is it to

i heard that hume earlier about how he got beat under geraldine ferrero knows millarville mondale andory, 20 figure out the vp, but it was very well, secret and now it's out. know the focus is what comes out of this convention. i think you're going to see this ticket probably walk together, may be say something but it will be the first time, perhaps, to the former president is seen since that fascination attempt and expect this place to go crazy. >> neil: i would imagine and you mentioned the apprentice analogy, i thought the same way it was early on, with marco rubio was not the finalist and then doug burgum, i think it was that order. so it'd have an apprentice field where an adult some to be orchestrated by donald trump. so he is very clear and resolute on his message. where he's been through a lot, and in the most amount. i'm just wondering how he's taking all of this and. you had a chance to talk to him. how is he dealing with all of this? >> is -- >> bret: it's fascinating. since the assassination attempt i think he has had a thought person about how blessed he is to be alive. y

they read the french enlightenment, they read david hume, which we never read in philosophy on moral or moral and the basic moral of the scottish enlightenment, the french enlightenment and and other people, the romans is a it was we're just filled with. as joanna, my wife. i am. and and we're just we remember the classical virtue of stomach, temperance, courage wisdom and justice and try to keep those passions under control. try to keep them under control and try to use your reason. and that's what madison says. madison says. we won't have that much a problem. there will be factions. yeah, i learned this from you. there will be factions all over this country, but it's big country and the factions will all be different in different places and time it take time to get these views across where can have an impact and the governments complicated put those three things together and you will have time for people to reflect and they in the government like they individually will be able to have reason in control. mm hmm. well, today means nothing or not much in time. zero in complexity, but

not like sam donaldson or brit hume did back in the day. president on unserious questions. >> yeah, look, i think, as i said, i think the lies that the party have made about the president. the democratic party been a crime against its voters. i think the fact that the news media is not asked the tough questions is an incredible disservice to the people that view them and read their copy. look, there's an easy way to updating this conversation as well, jason. if the news media were really doing its job right now, they would ask one question and they would insist on this one question. and that question is this will the president agree to go before the country in a primetime conference? and if he can handle that, then maybe he through this. but if he can't handle that, then he certainly cannot handle the role of the commander in chief. i mean, if you think about the white house putting out this information that he's only available from 10 p.m., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. i mean, i can't understand the stupidity of that. i mean, that is an invitation t

brit hume is joining us now. your thoughts? wes glad to do it this was a forecast i think in the history of this is written people will look back the debate and say from that moment on this was an inevitable he had to get out. he stubbornly hung on for a wild but the pressure it was an enormous, the odds are against him. he is after all old and feeble showing even the people closest to them recognize that so here we are. >> vice presidential debate is set for september the 25th. we do not know who is going to be in on the democratic side at this point. what do you think about the idea the torch gets past or democrats rising up and sing low. obama said this in the statement along with his wife michelle, obama. we trusted democrat party will execute a robust process that will lead to a very strong nominee they did not say wheat back kamala harris. do you think in the days ahead we are going to see a lot of demdemocrats saying wait a seco, you might want to pass the torch suit kamala harris there's a lot of other people out there

thank you let's get back to our panel at one point is joining is now along with brit hume and dana perino. great to have all the with us. juan, great to happy with us has your thoughts are your party and who do you think should be on this ticket? what do you hope happens now? >> martha is a big shift in the way people are talking it was just on the phone was some top campaign officials and congressional leaders. they are all talking about a generational shift. someone pointed out to me before president biden decided not to run, everybody running was over 70 from jill stein to rfk junior, and donald trump know you love somebody was 59 not even quite 60. they're going to push the democrats will be pushing this idea that they are the future time to look to the future and get past the older a fight the divisive fight biden versus trump that theme is going to be very strong for the democrats. >> it is pretty ironic that they spent the last month saying ager is not a problem and he was as vigorous as anybody and could do everything behind the scenes and that is what they are saying now he's a p
