joe biden not even this version, buddy joe biden in his '80s.will give people pause. bottom line is, he hasn't had any tough interviews it seems to this point in terms of asking him, okay, you were vice president for eight years, why didn't you pass anything resembling prison reform as this president has? or are now talking about police reform come again eight years and some time where there is a democratic congress, democratic senate and still none of these things got past. what is joe biden running on? what is the positive message? that is what you have to run on shining city on the hill, make america great, what is the joe biden bumper sticker? i have zero idea what that is, jason. >> jason: i think that is true. gleason will make lisa, is it st joe biden's expectations are sow that anything he can do to show up and put coherent sentences together will be a victory for him? is that part of the game? will the media give him a pass because he didn't have some sort of big blunder? >> well, i don't even think joe biden is capable of that, to be p

police violence have changed the narrative in the race for the white house and some democrats urged joe biden to pick a woman of color as running mate. we will talk with biden campaign senior adviser symone sanders and get reaction from trump campaign senior adviser mercedes schlapp. plus a look at the barrage of accusations in john bolton's tell-all book about the trump white house. we will ask our sunday panel what impact the former national security adviser's claims will have on the 2020 campaign. all right now on fox news sunday. ♪ ♪ chris: >> hello, again and happy father's day from fox news in washington. president trump is back holding rallies for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic ripped our nation and how the world and the race for the white house have changed in the last few months. joe biden has become the presumptive democratic nominee for president. the virus has claimed the lives of at least 120,000 americans as well as millions of jobs and the country's underlying racial divisions have boiled over into protests and riots. we will drill down on all of that this hour,

. >> well, what we know about joe biden is that a lot of americans know about joe biden, but not veryany americans know too much about him. so what we are talking about here is joe biden's record. and i think that it is going to be our child to defend joe biden and talk about his more than 40 years in washington and his record of failure and what he would do if he was somehow able to become president. we know that right off the bat he said the first thing he will do is raise taxes. he will also impose the green new deal on every business in this country, and we know that businesses are trying to recover from the coronavirus shut down. how can you walk in states like pennsylvania and say that you are for the working people when you're going to impose the green new deal and you have alexandria ocasio-cortez hoping you write your time and change platform? you can't do both at once. when we defend joe biden and we have four months left to do so, americans willacy that president trump has a clear record of success and joe biden will be a disaster. >> the trump campaign has a new website ou

joe biden is mysteriously silent. i guess he is stuck in his basement because they are afraid to let him out and answer this tough question. frankly it is not tough, it is straightforward. are you for or against defunding police? joe biden and nancy pelosi are dodging this question. when you want to run for president, you can't hide from tough issues. joe biden has to be vocal and it has to happen soon. he can't let this go on for days. mercedes: you mentioned that fateful day in june 2017 when you nearly lost your life at the republican baseball practice. we were also sad to hear you had been shot. we were all praying for your quick recovery. it was really the u.s. capitol police, including your special agents, crystal and corey, that saved your life. it shows how important law enforcement is in keeping our country safe. viewers -- it was a dreadful day -- just what you went through, how those special agents, those police officers save your life, and why it is so critical to give police officers the backing they need

we have african-americans on the side of joe biden, but joe biden in the democratic party has not been on the side of black people. we are afraid in some circles we will be attacked by the liberal media to keep black people on the plantation. the choice is clear here. you can ask anybody right now what has president trump done and they cannot disagree with you over the issues we just talked about, prison reform, the economic development and opportunity in terms of jobs, and historically black colleges. if you ask anybody right now, what did joe biden do? ask african-american. what has joe biden done in the past 49 years that has had an impact on african-american communities other than displacement from families and destroying their lives, taking from their children and mothers and fathers and incarcerating them where the time does not fit the crime? the joe biden we need to be highlighting. black people have been really disillusioned about the democratic party. that is what scared the liberals and that's why they are horrified, because people like me and you all have come out and said

with the november election fast approaching the president focused on attacking joe biden. >> joe bidenrendered to his party and to the left-wing mob. he has no control. mark: saturday's rally may be a preview of what lies ahead later on this summer. the trump campaign insists more rallies are in the works even as the number of states are dealing with increase in coronavirus cases. chris. chris: mark meredith reporting from tulsa, mark, thank you. joining us from baltimore, dr. tom inglesby, director of the center for health security at johnson hopkins university. doctor, i know you watched the rally last night from a public standpoint if not a political one, the good news is there wasn't a big crowd as expected, but as an epidemiologist watching the rally last night, what did you see? doctor: yeah, i thought that the rally was concerning in terms of public health risk. cdc's recent guidance was that the highest risk gatherings are those that are large indoors where people can't stay apart from each other more than 6 feet and where people travel from out of town and this rally met all o

by the way, where is joe biden? he emerged from his basement bunker, and will he answer questions about any of these important issues in these tough times we are all going through? and why didn't barack and joe ever stop the violence in the city of chicago, barack's hometown, for over eight years? we will have more on that in a moment. first, joining us with a full report from the horrific violence in chicago alone is mike tobin. >> you mentioned it, 18 people killed over the weekend and two of them were children. one you could say a baby. just 20 months old, he was strapped into a car seat and his mother's vehicle. there was a gun battle down the street with two other vehicles and the mother and the baby were hit by stray rounds, never stood a chance, that bullet went right through his chest. one chicago police officer who handled this case posted on social media that he never handled anything this difficult in all of his time on the chicago pd. also, 10-year-old leah nunes in the second-floor apartment came right

and i think there are some other things joe biden problematic. hingsjoe biden may have settled down in his long career that i certainly take issue with outlook elections are about elections, and the choice of people have in this election is joe biden, the choice of people have in this election isjoe biden, is a thoroughly decent human being he thoroughly decent human being he thoroughly cares about the issues confronting the issue right now and somebody like donald trump who i don't think is a decent human being... he has lowered politics to a point quite frankly that makes me quite sad. that this is the current reality in the united states. congressmen, there is another choice of people will have in november and thatis of people will have in november and that is do not vote at all the many say that what really matters to the democratic party is not convincing swing voters who were torn between democrat and republican to go democrat and republican to go democrat because there are not that many of those in the current polarised environment, what is

what you see in the joe biden ad is trying to assure people that things are calmer. g about the polling that we are seeing right now is that there are some short-term benefits that the biden campaign is having that might not accrue to his credit when it comes to november. we have nationwide mass hysteria and mobs tearing down statues starting with anyone affiliated with the confederacy. it has gone so far beyond that that it's ridiculous. i don't think joe biden has addressed this. i will think is going to ask about it. he has a very friendly media that don't ask or force him to get answers. but the more he is tied with this extreme wing of his party and the less he stands against it, it's not going to help him come november, even if right now that is not reflected. the one you know, chuck, i think there is a thought process out there that joe biden is not hillary clinton so that being in his delaware home for this moment seems like a good strategy for them. at some point, there will be this back and forth. but he does not have the negatives that he had in the 2016 el

, when joe biden hasn't said a word. and not saying anything. no discredit to the vice president. if you're winning without doing anything why do anything? the president has to change course here. both in terms of the substance and answering that question much better than he did with sean hannity in terms of what he wants to do in a second term and secondly, he needs to approach the american people in a different way than he's been approaching them recently. so, i said this last week, george, you know, no doubt the president is an underdog, now, there's 128 days left as was said by nate silver, there's still a lot of time to go here. president dukakis was up over vice president bush back in 1988 at this time. there have to be some fundamental changes made by the president and his team. if they don't do it. they're in trouble. >> some real candor there from chris christie. rahm emmanuel, what's the greatest threat to joe biden's campaign right now? >> well, look, if you'd look at the piece -- i'd focus on right now is joe

joe biden has become the presumptive democratic beverly copresident.h the virus is claimed the lives of at least 120,000 americans as well as millions of jobs in the country's underlying racial divisions of boil over into protests and riots. we will drill down on all of that this hour. but first, mark meredith with the latest from tulsa, the coronavirus hot spot were trump supporter's gathered last night. >> thank you, oklahoma. >> president trump's first campaign rally in more than three months brought out thousands of supporters, but far fewer than expected. some wore masks, while most shrug off concerns about catching coronavirus. before the rally, black lives matter demonstrators came face-to-face with trump supporter's impulses streets, but overall the situation remains relatively calm. campaign organizers canceled an appearance by the president at an outdoor overflow venue because of sparse attendance. inside the bank of oklahoma center, supporters built about two-thirds of the rita with many empty seats in the upper deck, the president telling t

joe biden, the forgetful one, do you agree or disagree? and joe, what do you think about seattle's lawless chaz, chop, summer of love festival zone and what you have to say to the people whose businesses in seattle have now been destroyed in those six blocks of lawlessness? what do you have to say to the 900 or so police officers that were injured with rocks and bottles and bricks and molotov cocktails? what do you say to the families that lost loved ones for serving their communities and protecting them as police officers? do you support joe, the seattle mayor, do you to support the washington state governor, do you support allowing a large part of an american city to be taken over? if you do, let us know. you don't, tell us what your solutions are. what are your solutions for police and community relations. why did you and barack implement changes to mecca after cambridge, after ferguson, after baltimore and at any point in the eight years you and the vice president of the united states, why didn't you do it then >> sandra: as we continue

if you ask anybody what did joe biden do? ask an african-american one has joe biden done in the last 49 years that has had an impact on african-american communities other than displacement from families and destroying their lives, taking from their children and mothers and fathers and incarcerating them worthy time does not fit the crime? need to bet we highlighting. black people have been really disillusioned about the democratic party. that is what scared the liberals and that's why they are horrified, because people like me and you will have come out and said we are not going to be part of the bandwagon. we are independent thinkers and we don't need liberals thinking for us, wanting to build us a habitat house but not in their neighborhoods. we want economic powder and -- power and donald trump has provided a seat at the table. that is why i am for this president. >> you are absolutely right. you mention the media and it is interesting to me because also in 2016, no one in the press asked candidate donald trump what his pl

obama and joe biden donald trump. all of these individuals who represent concentrated power in the u.s. . are representing the same interests the only ones who thought that the u.s. had a mask of a commitment to do to democracy human rights. were people who were fundamentally naive who know you as a fish can never stand before the international community and printed in to be a defender of human rights they have been exposed for ever and that is a good thing. now germany has been caught by surprise i've heard reports that the u.s. plans to control 110000 troops from the country washington hasn't given any official explanation although a senior german minister did say that current relations with washington and. if it comes to do drill of some of the u.s. troops we will take note of this we are close partners in the transatlantic alliance but it is complicated. the plans show that the trump of ministration is neglecting elementary task of leadership to bind coalition partners into decision making processes while relation

joe biden will always let you down. that's been his history. and by direct early this year the heroes of the u.s. military took out the world's top terrorist, the after and killer and leader of isis, al-baghdadi, and the number one terrorist anywhere in the world. somquassem soleimani. we took him out. joe biden opposed killing soleimani. he didn't like it. he thought it would be good politically. that didn't work out too well. just as he opposed the raid that killed osama bin laden. biden is always on the wrong side of history as said by people who worked with him. he never made a correct foreign policy decision. biden is a puppet for china. his son walked out with $1.5 billion. allows them to rip off america for many years. now they are pay millions and millions of dollars. we are giving a lot to our farmers. we have plenty left over. china is not exactly happy with me. they pay us bills and billions of dollars. and they targeted our great farmers. and i took the money they targeted. i took that money and gave it to the farmers. so they are o

all i'm asking is that joe biden came out of the basement and talked without a teleprompter to the black community. in the boat. in the vote, joe. >> i believe a lot of people, there is always talk, talk. and every two or four years, and i find it raises, and throw granny over a cliff. i asked the other night, opportunity zones, and if you look at the lowest record, record after record after record from minorities, and that was not barack and it wasn't joe. >> let me simply say the music, donald trump did the first step act, and even obama didn't do that. the man does not give any credit to what he does. he discovered a cure for cancer and would be sued for putting a bunch of doctors out out of work. i'm asking every black voter and every democrat, and ignore the old talking points. if you just ignore the al sharpton talking points, because we are democrats, forget those talking points. makes them tell you what they are going to do with you now, not 40 years ago. switch parties, sooner or later you will join the team you are already on. i'm right there waiting for joe biden to convince p

that wasn't joe biden and it wasn't barack obama. it was president trump, he created economic opportunity zones in struggling neighborhoods. he talked about all of this in his speech tonight. it wasn't barack and it wasn't joe, and joe, again, five decades government. trump, less than four years. of course, the media mob so very worried and biden can't actually answer tough questions at all. forat example, we are tonight president trump is bowing to lock up anybody who vandalize as our historic monuments and buildings. in other words, he has a position. okay, so the question the mob and the media, if they had half thedi sense to do their job, thy would insist on these answers, tonight.we what would joe do? what would biden do? to see support tearing down of statures? because they support the tearing down of monuments? what about certain monuments baltimore dedicated by nancy pelosi's father and kept in place by her own brother? okay, does a week, ever forgetful joe biden, does he support the vandalism, for example, that took place las

joe biden still represents something of a risk for your party. s a fundamentally decent human being. that's not the question. i want to bring some decency back to the white house. i think the majority of americans want decency brought back to the white house. and by the way, when i am out and about talking to people, people are energised to get out there and to vote for a different kind of president. you know, we can talk about polls all we want but i think we're going to have a record turnout in november, and i think people are going to show up to reclaim this country. you, as i recall, were a supporter of elizabeth warren, notjoe biden, in the primary season. many other young democrats supported bernie sanders, and eight progressive groups inside the party, many of them representing young people — justice democrats, alliance for youth action, student democratic party action, they have put out a statement saying, quote — and this is directly tojoe biden, "it is clear you are unable to win the majority of votes for the vast majority of voters unde

maybe joe biden makes a

doesn't answer questions, and joe biden doesn't campaign, joe biden doesn't do this.ome on, media, get him out there. it reminds me of a losing football team. why won't they pass? why are they kneeling down? why are they running out the clock? there's a reason they're running out the clock. they're winning. >>. >> that's right. one of the things i was talking to one of president trump's campaigners is they're trying to re-brand joe biden. they believe voters think they know who joe biden is and what they're trying to do and they'll get aggressive on this. we've seen some of it is to basically say this is not the joe biden that you know. this is somebody who is not fit to be president. he's not all there mentally. they're really going to go at the idea that he's not fit for office because he's unwell. and that's just one of many ways in which they're reaching back for their 2016 playbook. >> yeah. it's an odd thing to hit biden on when the president keeps bringing up his own issue with the health watch, as well and the odd amount of time he spent on that. i have to wra

obama and joe biden donald trump. all of these individuals who represent concentrated power in the u.s. . are representing the same interests the only ones who thought that the u.s. had a mask of a commitment to do to democracy human rights. were people who were fundamentally naive who know you as a fish can never stand before the international community. to be at the through of human rights they have been exposed for. there is a good thing. in other news there has been a major twist in the notorious case of a missing british girl who disappeared in portugal back in 2007 after a new suspect was identified as a man from germany however german police are now under fire themselves after it turned that they had received tip offs about 187 years ago the new suspect is also being linked to the disappearance of another child in portugal 20 years ago peter all of our reports. after 13 years one of the most covered cases of child abduction could be a step away from being resolved the disappearance of madeleine mccann in 2007 s

[applause] and then you've got joe biden. booing] [crowd chanting] >> sleepy gel. sleepy gel. sleepy gel. joe.eepy sleepy joe. sleepy joe. joe bidendent pence: wants to raise your taxes. president trump signed more laws cutting federal redtape than any president in american history. [applause] to bury ourn wants economy under an avalanche of red tape, like the green new deal. up toent trump has stood china and put american jobs and american workers first. [applause] biden wants to go back to economic surrender. biden cost america jobs. president trump created more than 7 million jobs in our first three years. and as we open america again, we have already seen 3 million jobs created in a single month, and set a record for retail sales. the great american comeback has begun and president trump is leading the way. [applause] and when it comes to our national defense, president trump rebuilt our military. arsenal of the democracy and this president signed the largest increase in our national defense since the days of ronald reagan. [applause] democrats,nd the they neglected our mil

joe biden is trying to hurt us. joe biden needs to go home and retire and leave happy. we need trump. we need my pants and winning republicans from top to bottom all the way, in washington and every statehouse. and we need to get back to the lord. we need to put jesus first and alive. and we as christians need to start taking a stand and stand up for what is right instead of the left taking us down. steve: thanks for the call. from another swing state, ohio. , as someone who understands the politics of the sunshine state, what areas will determine a good night on november 3? what will you be looking for? joe: look at jacksonville where the convention is going, one of the larger counties in the country. it tends to vote republican. it has gone back and forth, but we have the convention coming, and a win for trump in the devol area would be a sign he is doing well. this is not a race on persuasion. people know where they are. the last caller basically said we need to elect more republicans. i am on the ballot as well. this is not a down ballot race. this is the president

joe biden is a shameless hypocrite. since 2003 he has delivered fawning eulogies to the funerals of three leading supporters of segregation, including a former member of the kkk. yet bind is now smearing as racist, tens of millions of people like yourself, decent hard working americans who he has never met and he doesn't want to meet. america should not take electrit take lectures on racial justice from sleepy joe. he shipped millions of black american jobs overseas, and every one else's jobs too. we are building plants and there has never been a comeback like we are making right now. he hollowed out our middle class, including our black middle class with open borders. trapped young children in failing government schools. those cages were built by obama and biden. look it up. 2014. and the fake news -- remember the picture of a came for children. remember the picture of the came? they said president trump. then they realized that was in a newspaper 2014 builtly obam buiy obama and biden. the cages. they don't want to re

i think maybe even maybe two points more of a lead for joe biden. so rue bert mur dock i guess can await the lawyer's letter from donald trump for this latest poll. >> yeah. i have to say, when they sent that letter to cnn and then cnn made public its lawyer's response, i was like, i have never wanted to be a lawyer, certainly not a corporate lawyer, but this day i was that cnn lawyer because that sounds like a fun day at work. >> rachel, i was fascinated by your interview with attorney paul howard who has brought these charges in atlanta against the two police officers, and in this hour, we're going to clear up this -- this semantic game actually that's being played by one of the defense lawyers who is trying to suggest that his client is not a so-called state's witness. i thought that this attorney explained it perfectly well in your hour and we'll probably use some of what he said as we explain it here. there is really nothing here. this is really just a language that a lawyer is using to try to protect the image of his client at this point. >> f

joe biden also leads donald trump in every battleground state polled by "the new york times." i mentioned the 11 point lead biden has in wisconsin. the 10 point lead in pennsylvania. but joe biden also has an 11 point lead in michigan at 47-36. a 6 point lead in florida at 47-41. a 7 point lead in arizona at 48-41. and a 9 point lead in north carolina at 49-40. and a fox news poll in battleground states also has very bad news for donald trump. and the fox news poll in florida joe biden has a 9 point lead over donald trump, 49-40. in georgia joe biden leads donald trump 47-45, which is a tie within the margin of error in a state that should be overwhelmingly republican. and in texas another republican state joe biden is running one point ahead of donald trump, 45-44. leading off our discussion tonight is a physician and director of the columbia university's national center for disaster preparedness. john is a national affairs analyst. he is an executive energy of the recount. and, doctor, i want to begin with this new estimate that the real infection number is ten times higher t

we also saw joe biden -- i think he pretty much had to change his speech friday. they were thinking the numbers were going to be pretty bad. tell me why and how does president trump and the republicans bold leadership and to bring our economy roaring back? >> when democrats were talking about mailing ballots to illegally registered people, the president was talking about holding onto small businesses and keeping families going through this. they test a relief package focused on families and businesses, the paycheck protection programs, maybe one of the most successful congress put together during a crisis that has been effective at saving millions of small businesses around the country. in fact last week they signed into law another revision to make the program work for the small businesses and they are able to stay afloat and start bringing people back to work. that's why you are seeing these job numbers increase because businesses were able to stay together because of the leadership at the time when a lot of people are often wondering if they were going to be ab

also quite alarming and so i don't know that it's a good idea to harp on china, but i do expect joe bideno and this say way to neutralize biden's campaign and take on china and the record on china. i don't want see a plus one way or the other. >> well, and in this case, you know, the democrats are also going to try to make hay of china. yamiche, i want to show this graphic of the matchup between biden and trump and how very slowly it's sort of been, it's one of those things if you check day to day, the presidential race doesn't change that much until you look at it over a three-month period and as you can see here the race has gone from a three-point race on april 15th and a little before april 15th to where it is now, close to double digits and what's got to be alarming for team trump is the trump number is eroding faster in some ways than the biden number is growing. >> think that's why you see the president feeling like he had to go out on the campaign trail to reinvigorate his base and get those numbers higher up and the president is not overly concerned about poll numbers and as we s

he is running against joe biden.oe biden is a captive of the radical left, it's kind of wild. everybody knows that he has a centrist, a moderate. >> katie: no, he's not. >> dana: i want to play the sound for you of the president trying to have a little bit of a lighter moment on something that happens we can before. take a look. >> i set i got myself a problem, general, because i'm wearing leather bottom shoes. it was like an ice skating rink. it doesn't look good for a long time frankly, the tire is never the same. they gave me the disease. >> dana: dan, there is something about a politician, no matter who it is, if they can have a lighter moment and make you laugh, you can hit a home run. >> dan: yeah, it's a skill and not many politicians are good at that, because focus groups tell them the stories. tell that story. people laugh. it's so weird he just tells you the stories that are in his head. as someone who has worn leather shoes, it got me thinking about ice skating rink's. i can't even imagine. if i may come b

we began let's start in 1973 with his speech, then senator joe biden praise him with the democrats and said the two-party system in the south was "good for philippe." around the same time biden working with desegregation's in order to slow and immigration. he opposed school busing and according to nbc news "he led a charge that kept black students away from the classrooms of white students in 1977, biden worried his children would grow up in "racial jungle if immigration is not done in an orderly way" whatever that means. and in 1983 he referred to inner-city youth as "predators on their street" and coauthored a very aggressive crime bill which ramped up prison sentences for dozens of crimes. we got the video of it. we have the videotape. let's go to it. >> it does not matter if there is a victim to society. the end result is, shoot my sister, beat up my wife commit take on my sons. so i want to ask, what made them do this? they must be taken off of the streets. we should focus on them now, not out of a liberal instinct for love, brotherly humanity although i think that is a good insti

the least be very close to the old joe biden joe biden has a checkered history when it comes to race relations as many people know joe biden was the primary author of the 1904 crime deal of the resulted in. significant repression of african-americans in the united states of america so the election of a joe biden is not going to have any significant impact on african-americans the obama administration for 8 years that administration did not see fit to engage in any kind of prosecution of killer cops even though that was happening across the country so. obama and joe biden trump. all of these individuals who represent concentrated power in the u.s. . are representing the same interests the only ones who thought that the u.s. had a mask of a commitment to do to democracy human rights. were people who were fundamentally naive know you as a fish can never stand before the international community and printed in to be a defender of human rights they have been exposed for ever and that is a good thing. when the police come in for criticism of just a field they nearly identified suspect in a

and as a result, joe biden is rising in the polls.rican people last week -- joe biden, i think, perfect as a president is supposed to in a time of great crisis. he gave a hell of a speech last week. he was out from wilmington, and i think the american people saw the measure of a man. in the end, lawrence, it's going to come down to this. we have a moral man, joe biden, versus an immoral and amoral man, donald trump. we have an honest man, joe biden, versus a deeply corrupt man, donald trump. we have a competent man, joe biden, versus an incompetent man in donald trump. we have a respected international statesman in joe biden versus an international laughingstock in donald trump. and that's the question the american people are going to have to decide -- continuing precipitous decline with trump or a season of american renewal with vice president biden. >> steve, when you're sitting in the middle of a presidential campaign as you've been many times and you see these polls rolling in, with the low, which is the nbc poll -- the low of a s

therefore, joe biden is for the mobs. so he's trying to put biden in that position and he has to defend the mob and i go back to this point. if joe biden has an opportunity here to stand up and to push back on this and say, there is a way to do changes, to statues lawfully with due process, you can vote. that's quite an american thing. we can vote on these things. but they don't want to do this because they're in this fever of the mob. so i hope that tonight is calmer than advertised. we'll see. >> juan: greg, picking up on what dana was just saying. joe biden has a way of turning his opponents to villain. he's tried with joe biden but joe biden is not hillary clinton. now as his poll numbers continue to fall, looks like he's playing a lot of identity politics, going after people as the anti-racist protesters, loosers and anarchists -- >> greg: is there a question or a statement? >> juan: i'm asking -- >> greg: is this a question? that wasn't a question. no because -- i don't believe anything you said. >> juan: okay. let m

to win the electoral college, joe biden has to do better than hillary clinton on those numbers. suggest. hillary clinton averaged 33% to 38%. "the washington post" reports biden's average lead by contrast is consistent and often larger than clinton's ever was. he is right at 50% and his average lead is 8 points. last week saw a parade of military leaders, including former marine corps general james mattis who was donald trump's first secretary of defense, taking strong stands, public stands against donald trump. some are specifically endorsing joe biden, including former secretary of state and former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general colin powell. >> we're not a country of just the president. we have a congress. we have a supreme court. but most of all, we have the people of the united states, the ones who vote, the ones who vote him in and the ones who vote him out. i'm very close to joe biden in a social manner and on a political matter. i worked with him for 35, 40 years and he is now the candidate, and i will be voting for him. >> after this break former republica

prompt did go into the inner city democrat areas and he did go often obviously to the swing states joe biden is doing the exact same thing hillary does i mean we call him basement biden because he is not getting out and it appears that his handlers don't want him to get out and don't have anything to do with krone virus as much as it is a continual gaffes and he is very capable of shooting himself in the foot every time he lets a public appearance but he's going to have to get out and gauge particularly as we built the case that in the cities that have had some of the most egregious problems such as minneapolis they're run by democrats and the police officer who killed george floyd 18 violations against him where was the democrat mayor where was the democrat governor why did they not do anything earlier and we are seeing in i think it something light 10 cities right now major cities they want to defund the place they're not talking about reform in the places of d.c. funding the police 64 percent of the american people do not support that position 57 percent of hispanic voters do not support

i don't know it's a good idea to harp on china, but i do know they expect joe biden to do so. tralize biden's campaign and talk about trump's record on china. i call it way to try to get even on china, don't see a plus one way or another with ads. >> democrats are also going to try to make hay of china. i want to show this graphic of the matchup between biden and trump and how very slowly it's sort of been -- if you check day-to-day, presidential race doesn't change that much, until you look at three-month period, gone from about a three-point race a little before april 15th to now, close to double digits. got to be alarming for team trump, number is eroding faster than the biden number is growing. >> that's why you see the president feeling he had to go out on the campaign trail, reinvigorate his base and get those numbers higher up. will say he's not overly concerned about poll numbers and as we saw in 2016, lot of signs, people saying don't think about it too much. but spread is growing and joe biden by staying at home mostly, select visits to places, he's got a strategy wor

people saying they're going to vote for joe biden, is mostly against trump. t was trump against the biden, the thing that the actual ratio of support in favor of joe biden might begin to go down. that is why joe biden is keen to put his policies out there, to say that he is saying important things about the black lives matter protest. important things about how he would deal with the coronavirus outbreak. all of those things are having trouble getting through to the american public. but, joe biden is leading all of the opinion polls. if the election were all tomorrow, it would be joe biden who wouould funnel trump. instructionsown are being -- restrictions are being reimposed in europe. back in thewass capital, lisbon. in that area, some places have a ban on gatherings of more than 10 peoeople. others allow up to 20. austria has issued a warning against travel to the western german state. this after two districts for putback under lockdown. monte reports. >> this neighborhoodod in westen germany is under a new mandatory lockdown. health officials taking every

joe biden isn't a man of ideas. he's a coat tail candidate, got plucked out of nowhere to be the vp for obama. not a policy guy. yet if you look at some of these polls, and. jon: is ahead in some places. do you believe these polls or do you have see that as a snapshot of where we are to go. >> the financial crisis on top' pandemic. all of it is driven by the chinese communist party. trump is order. everything joe biden talks about, the foreign policies he supported, the economic policies about jobs and trade. the democrats picked a globalist candidate. once again they selected a globalist candidate in the age of nationalism and populism. president trump has fought the economic and political elites from day one. and he has fought for the american people. i think he will make the case for why he's the candidate of order versus chaos. biden will have a tough time articulating it. but convincing the american people he has the will power to push these changes through. jesse: he obviously can't articulate it. he just read

joe biden has the magic combination. we will show -- show it to us, joe biden.t's not just the president's fault. >> harris: along those lines he says that -- he is surrendering to the virus and arguing that president trump's mismanagement is costing american lives and wrecking our economy. let's play that sound bite. okay. in the sound bite he reportedly tells donors that i'm going to get rid of most of president trump's tax cuts and a lot of you may not like that. i wonder if, lisa, what do you think? is this a winning strategy on the back of the economy already being crippled that you are talking about raising anyone's taxes? >> i mean, of course not. you certainly know that, melissa. but regarding the trump administration and its response to the coronavirus, take a look at ventilators. remember that they were saying that we needed 1 million ventilators which ended up not being the case or remotely the case. the trump administration was able to produce 100,000 ventilators and 100 days. which is three times the average amount that you produce in a year. they w

the man who did it once or joe biden who caused the problem in terms of stagnation to begin with? where do you want to go in terms of an america? do you want to go back to the obama-biden apologist america or do you want to stay out front and lead like president trump's doing and asking others to do their fair share? i'm confident about the outcome of this election if people understand what's at stake. don't be lulled into a false sense of security. joe biden is a nice man, but we don't need that. we need a strong man. and president trump's a strong man. >> well, i know who's going to get my vote, lindsey. and i think we know who's getting yours. well, always a pleasure to have you. thank you so much. senator lindsey graham, thanks for being with us tonight. >> thank you. happy memorial day. >> thank you. >> the senate commerce committee holds a hearing on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on transportation and crica

poll that so upset the president which was late last month had the president down 8 points versus joe biden nationally. well, queue the president's rage again because fox's latest poll just out tonight shows the president losing to joe biden nationally not by 8 points but by 12 points among voters nationwide. again, it's fox poll so here comes the very special breed of trump versus fox news melt down. and get your marshmallows and sticks at the door. that does it for us tonight. we will see you again tomorrow. now it is time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. >> and of course there's the small matter of donald trump sending a lawyers letter to cnn for producing poll results similar to that, i think maybe even two points more of a lead for joe biden. so rupert murdic i guess can await the lawyers letter from donald trump for this latest poll. >> yeah. i have to say, when they sent that letter to cnn and then cnn made public its lawyer's response, i was like, i have never wanted to be a lawyer, certainly not a corporate lawyer, let alone one representing a media organization, but th
