john pierre. i think she was quite shocked that it came from him because normally she gets a pestered with questions and peppered by peter. do see from fox, but for it to come from ed. yeah. and to have it get that testy, that explains a lot about what's actually going on behind the scenes. it's basic. math is basic math. i mean, how does she get 3 out of 8 if there are no, does it show a neurologist specialist and parkinson's went to the white house, met with the president doctor at least on one occasion. and was there a times and then she sits there and says, no, according to my records, they only saw him 3 times. why do you get 3 out of 8? this is may have, i'm sorry, but it's really not my forte either. yeah. the either i'm or i mean either. all right, so here's the situation. now the president appears to be saying a parkinson's expert as we just learned, even though they're denying it. well, the vice president come on, harris appears to be and lollo land. this is a spoof that was brought to m

uh, john pierre, the spokesperson for the white house is asked about this report. so every year around this, the presence physical examination, she sees a neurologist that's 3 times. right. so i am telling you that he has seen are in there all just 3 times while he has been in this presidency. that's what i'm saying . i'm telling you that he has seen them 3 times. for security reasons. we cannot share names. we cannot share names. you can, we have to put, we have someone came here to share. we cannot share names a specialist broadly from a dermatologist to a neurologist. we cannot share name, is there a security reasons we have to? we have to predict the i i hear you guys are hold on a 2nd. there's no reason to get back and go back and forth. me in the rest of the way, just around here about how the information's been shared with the press for the waiting list and then everybody's asked about it, what do you and then every time i come back and i answer the question that you guys have to come back and clean, i never answer the question incorrectly. yeah, it can't sh

here's whitehouse folks person a korean john pierre responding to the new york times report. the suggestive fighting was waking up whether to continue his broad what i can say is the president is moving forward. he's moving forward is being president. he's moving forward with his campaign as his campaign has been very, very clear about that. that's what i can, that's what i can speak to, and that's what i can say. and that is the president's focus. the presence focus is how does he continue to do that? work and anything else that we're hearing or that's being reported is absolutely false. i spoke earlier with rachel versa, with atlanta counseling, washington and asked her how is united states allies feel about the possibility of fighting dropping out of the race? a look, i think anyone who watched that debate on thursday, certainly america's allies, were probably a little bit nervous. but the fact is that biden, as he has said before, he tells the truth, he didn't tell it well last week. but nonetheless, he, he did, he did tell the truth, and that is one thing that i think se

when asked to clarify, spokesperson for reading, john pierre got into a heated exchange with the journalists. but the president, i can tell you, has seen in our office 3 times as it's connected to the uh, to a physical that he gets every year that we provide to the wait, wait, wait, wait, i am released once in regard. i just, wait, hold on a 2nd. wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait a minute. cool. ed. please. little respect here, please. well, i can tell you this just going back to parking since for a little bit. so to give you some answers here, has the president being treated for parking says no, is he being treated for parkinson's? no, he's not. is he taking medication for parking says no. so those are the things that i can give you, full blown answers on, but i'm not going to don't, i'm not going to confirm a specialist. any specialist that comes to come to comes to the way us out of my question. in a statement the white house position, so the president has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical review. and joe biden has shown no symptoms of parkinson's disease. but for

the disease is mild, white house press secretary karine john pierre said.dent had previously received all the necessary vaccinations. biden, 81, attended a campaign event in las vegas on wednesday. in the evening he was supposed to speak there at the meeting, but canceled his speech and left for delaware, there i spoke with nancy. on friday, donald trump accepted the republican national convention nomination and officially became a candidate to become the forty-seventh president of the united states. the pompous ceremony took place in the city of melookie, wisconsin, at the home arena of the melookie bucks basketball club, the picerum. speaking for the first time since the assassination attempt last saturday. the wounded trump, with his right ear taped up, took a long time to get to the stage. the backdrop for the main character was a hit by country style veteran lee greenwood. god bless america. trump is a music lover and as he writes, in his palace, mara laga personally controls everything that sounds from the speakers. donald loves elvis presley. loves t

so what more has a wants has been saying now about the precedence condition well occurring, john pierre, the white house folks, women said the president is actually doing fairly well. that is x, his symptoms are not terribly devastating or unusual. and that's important because the white as really needs to make sure they get ahead of this. there's been a sense that because joe biden hadn't been doing a lot of big interviews that he hadn't been doing a lot of press appearances, that he hadn't been doing a lot of press conferences until recently. that may be the white house and his campaign had been hiding his condition from voters and from the press. so it's important in order to satisfy the concerns of the many people who are worried about how he is doing after his rather poor debate performance on june 27th. that their white has get ahead of this story and show that he's doing well. and that's what they're trying to do. they're trying to show the he's not really doing terribly poorly, even for an 81 year old man that puts him in the high risk category for some of his coven. with that he

what greene john pierre told reporters yesterday that he didn't have a medical check-up. she also then said that it was just the cold. then then biden said, no, it was the jet lag. biden is still not even see had a sore throat, but he hasn't really mentioned the cold they cannot keep their story straight, is a shifting explanations for debate performance that honestly, really is probably unexplainable. >> yeah, i mean, let's try if i will say the thing that stuck out to me and then politicos reporting this abc has matched it. we're working on it here at santa in a political reported that the president knocked me to knock on wood. motion i think that stuck out to me just because it's like, oh man, the president steck and good health, knock on wood. i mean, that is a very sort of on the nose demonstration of the moment we're in a look. >> i think we also need to take a step back because the issue of credibility here is because they have spent the last three-and-a-half years. there have been questions that had been raised for three-and-a-half half years. and this white house

john pierre is absolutely masterful at making you think you are trying to make you think that you're looking at something they don't see. it's like you're watching a magic trick and you can see what the magician is doing and you're saying, i see this, but they don't know that. and there are say they will actually throw with acted towards president trump remember rate. these are the same people who actually suggested that president trump was out of his mind because he held a glass funny. or he which he confused one name during the speech that he was on the decline directly. not only do they divert attention, not only do they live, but the light in colors in dimensions. you've never seen other members of the world by the way, anything that they show anything they say, look at this isn't the sight of some kind of a problem. the other day to show you how bad it was during this rift fick g 7 of it . you actually had cnn. and i'm old enough. remember when that was the crown jewel, they were absolutely incredible. they actually brought out people who they had previously fired to come back t

john pierre insisted that during the presidential debate, the president jo bite and simply had a cold. and that even though he may have been trailing off at times and even had trouble finishing his sentences, what matters is really the president's record, which she says speaks for itself. what i can tell you is that he had a cold and a bad night. i would not see this as an episode. i would see this is what it was and what we believe it to be, which is it was a bad night. and he did on top of that, he had a cold. and that is the reality of the situation, that is the reality of what happened that night. now the white house insist despite president joe biden's poor debate performance. he was able to go out the following day and engage with supporters showing a vibrant joe biden hitting 4 states on the campaign trail. the white house staff denies its been hiding anything about joe 5 in physical or cognitive health. in fact, it says that it's been fully transparent in publishing back in february 6 pages of the president's medical records. and now the white house press secretary says that t

there were exchanges between reporters and the white house press secretary karine john pierre, whichd testy around questions about resident biden�*s health and his fitness, he is facing intense scrutiny after that widely discussed debate performance against president trump. but at the moment, all eyes are now focused on this banquet which will be opening up imminently and we are expecting presidentjoe biden to speak as well. so the moment that that happens, we will bring you that press, that speech from president biden live imminently. we are keeping an eye on that opening banquet of the nato summit. in washington. we will bring it to you live. as mentioned the new prime minister sir keir starmer, is on his way to washington for that nato summit. chris mason is travelling with the prime minister, and sent us an update just before they set off earlier. hello from a rather noisy and soggy airfield. quite the moment this for keir starmer, about to get on board the prime ministerial plane for the first time. i have been doing trips with prime ministers on this plane for two years now and

following the announcement of president vitamins positive tests for cove in the press. secretary and john pierre says the earlier today, following his 1st event in las vegas, president 5 and tested positive. he is vaccinated and boosted, and he's experiencing miles symptoms. he'll be returning to delaware, where he will suffice late, and will continue to carry out all of his duties. hopefully during that time. right, let's go to john henry now in washington dc. john, as were saying earlier, i mean this must come was a bombshell for the white house. what more of they've been saying, and how important is it for the white house to be transparent here? that's right during the timing couldn't possibly be worse on this. and what you heard from karen jump here, there was her getting out in front of this story is the white has desperately needs to do because after vitamins disastrous debate performance, a lot of people in the public and in the media began to think that maybe they had had the truth about his mental and physical and they withheld from him. he was sorry, down to, you know, be jumping in th

john pierre said that though he picked uh he picked harris because he's the future the party. she got to exactly 0 primary delegates when she ran in 2020, compared to bodies 2600. and sandra is over a $1000.00 because 0, nobody voted for. so the idea that she was the future, the party is a long shot. what's happening? i don't know what's happening exactly what i do know that they're trying to get out in front of his cognitive problem. now if joe had a bad night after travelling a lot, uh and he does. if you hopped up appearances on the media where he's got some of his happy jews and seems to have gotten his mojo back, my guess is they're trying to preserve him cuz there's no one waiting in the wings and they're going to cancel the 2nd debate. all right guys, you mentioned the issue of the media earlier right now after the disaster is debate, but it has been a change in the mainstream medium narrative with him and see it and revising its previous baton so now questioning biden's mental health how, how do you interpret such a oh you ton. oh, what do you make up a timing as well

fielding our questions, we learned he had had no medical exams and sits physical in february and cream john pierrerifying those toward what debate he stumbles saying that it were and we beat medicare, you meant to say we beat it big pharma, and claiming no u.s. service members data and has watch, is aiming to make comparison about a lower number of u.s. service member deaths under his watch compared to previous administrations, neil? >> neil: thank you very much, this just in a from the boston globe, that editorial board, the latest news we were to say it is time for the president to at least suspend his campaign, with the other journals saying it is time for him to end it upright and open it up to a convention, robert f. kennedy junior, the presidential campaign, not too far from your original neck of the woods, another boston that's right another paper saying it is time to call it a day. what do you make of all of this? >> i think what happened the other night, was it that a lot of americans finally understood the media has been hiding, the white house has been hiding, which is the executive our

article written by karine jean-pierre a few years ago, and the name of the article is "what it's like working for a doomed presidential candidate." she's talking about johnhony weiner, but here is the quote that i think is so telling for people who question karine jean-pierre. "you show up at the office. you are pumped. you attack the phones. you deliberately put pep in your voice. everything is going great. we blatantly lied to the movers and shakers we were calling, but the more we tried, the less it helped." i mean, that tells you how she handles presidential campaigns. >> gillian: how can you have the misfortune of working for anthony weiner and john edwards? [laughter] and joe biden. >> johnny: when you develop a certain set of skills. gillian, what do you think? >> gillian: the moment is not just about the president or what his family wants to do or what he decides to do. it's about the fact that down ballot democrats are now widely in peril and they are feeling the pressure and anything he decides is going to have tremendous implications for the rest of the party. fox had reporting today from hill sources that said democrats in safe and swing stat

remember how john pierre said, oh, what did she call them, cheap things. not capable of doing the job. what happened to that argument? >> well, i actually saw that as obama being kind. i don't think he was trying to necessarily signal anything. i do think he was recognizing that this is bad. i do know that a lot of his staff and the people that used to work for him when they speak, people think david axelrod is speaking specifically for obama. i don't know. they probably have a little bit of that. i probably think there's just a lot of sadness. remember in 2016 obama thought it would not be a good idea for biden to run and he endorsed hilary. i think there is a lot of bitterness between trump and biden towards obama. >> adam schiff came out last week saying it was time for biden to go. do you believe he was acting as a proxy for nancy pelosi? >> i do. that is the first thing i said on air. the one thing, i have a good friend, john, who says kamala harris will get a huge financial leg up if she figures out a way to get this cash in the biden harris account.

they've been saying very little there and beyond what korean john pierre said in that statement. but that's exactly what she needed to do. she needed to reassure the public that 1st of all that they were being given the story as soon as it was happening. and she was being transparent about what the parents, the president was going through immediately as soon as is they found out or shortly thereafter, the public was informed, the president, it travelled back to delaware. and the reason that's so important is that people feel a little bit misled, and i'm talking about the public and the press here. because the president had not been out a doing big interviews with major networks where there was challenging back and forth. he hadn't been doing a lot of campaign stops until recently and there was a concern at. busy so we hadn't had a lot of press conferences, there were months between one in november and one. recently there was a concern that it was being withheld from the public. what was going on with the president in terms of his mental and physical faculties. and then you have t

john pierre insisted that during the presidential debate the president joe bite and simply had a cold. and that even though he may have been trailing off at times and even had trouble finishing his sentences, what matters is really the president's record, which she says speaks for itself. what i can tell you is that he had a cold and a bad night. i would not see this as an episode. i would see this is what it was and what we believe it to be, which is it was a bad night. and he did on top of that, he had a cold. and that is the reality of the situation. that is the reality of what happened that night. now the white house insist despite president joe biden's poor debate performance. he was able to go out the following day and engage with supporters showing a vibrant joe by them hitting 4 states on the campaign trail. the white house staff denies its been hiding anything about jo 5 in physical or cognitive health. in fact, it says that it's been fully transparent in publishing back in february 6 pages of the president's medical records. and now the white house press secretary says the,

information in the last 24 hours yesterday our colleague, mj lee asked white house press secretary karine john pierre, if the president had had any medical exams since his physical and february february she answered no, but this morning, the white house is saying that the president was in fact examined by his doctor der is after that debate performance last thursday, the white house had long said that the president was experiencing a cold on that night. and a spokesperson saying that several days later, the president what seemed to check on his cold and was recovering well, so questions why we're getting this cotton conflicting information at a time when so many americans have questions about the president's health and his ability to serve the full second term. >> all right. arlette saenz at the white house. thank you so much. and a quick note. our next our cnn will speak with the radio host who conducted the latest interview with president biden awesome okay, fred, donald trump is bashing president biden. his harsh words were secretly recorded while trump was talking to supporters on a golf course.

had undergone any medical examination since after his physical, which was conducted in february john pierre said that the president has had not, but this morning, the white house is acknowledging that president biden was examined by his doctors following that debate night, during which his team has said that the president had a cold, a white house spokesperson this morning saying that the president was seen to check on his cold and was recovering well in the days after the debate, one white house official says that this check-in was a brief check-in, but there are questions about why we are getting these inflicting answers relating to president biden's medical examinations at a time when many americans continue to have concerns about the president's health and his ability to serve into a second okay. let's on. thank you very much for the latest from the white house, for it. >> all right. allison, let's bring in san and senior reporter, isaac dovere to discuss all of this and more i think great to see you this morning. so president biden, i mean, he's pretty dug in, right. saying he is not g

now this is different than what white house press secretary the corinne john pierre explained yesterday when she was asked specifically by our colleague, mj lee whether the president had undergone any medical examinations since his physical that took place in february. i want to play for you a clip of that exchange that happened and the white house press briefing room just yesterday house, the president had any medical exams since his last annual physical in february and we were able to talk to his doctor about that and that as a no. any kind of medical exam? no now, politico first reported this morning that president biden told the group of governors he gathered with last night that he was did have a medical check-up following the debate and that he was fine this morning. >> a white house spokesperson, andrew bates, said that several days after the debate, the president was seen to check on his cold and was recovering well, another white house officials describe this as a brief check with his doctor, the white house has explained why they offered these conflicting explanations, but it

that is an issue that was a major her focus at the white house press briefing with corinne john pierre yesterday, this is what she said specifically when it came to the issue of mental acuity and whether the white house might provide more information on that front. take a listen the medical team said it is not warranted in this case. we have put forward a thorough transparent annual report on his health. so they have said that is not warranted. it is not necessary very again, we understand we understand. we're not taking away from what you all saw. what the american people saw. we understand it was a bad night is anyone in the white house hiding information about the president's health or his ability to do the job. de absolutely no now, all of this conversation comes as new cnn polling has found the president's biden's standing in the race after this debate, a stands pretty similar to where he was in polling prior to the debate. >> but one thing that is also notable in that polling that was released yesterday is about a three quarters of americans believed that democrats crowds would d

as well as use read out that statement from the white house press secretary a carry john pierre of the for me to the president's going to itself isolate at his home and re robust death, delaware. so that means no more speeches, no more campaign stops. no more a donor fundraisers, although the white house statement was quick to point out that he would continue to discharge his duties as the president of the united states and the commander in chief. but he can't be with people. and when you're a politician running for reelection, you want to be with people, that's sort of what it's all about. so he can't do that for a period of days. we'll have to see how long that lasts. and we'll have course have to see what we are told about his condition. but we do know that he's, he's got a slight fever. he told reporters of here in las vegas after an event he was out earlier before this was canceled. that he felt good. but he was also described by his physician is feeling a sense of general malays or on wellness. and that is uh, obviously a symptom of, of cove it along with the runny nose the, the

answer on medical treatment for the president now, the white house initially, and this is greene, john pierre initially said that the president had not received any medical exams since february since his physical. here's what she said on wednesday he was on the way to the debate. the doctor was with them. he had a cold at 1:30, not get checked out by the doctor that i can tell you work he did not get did not get checked out by the doctor? after it's a cold, guys, it's a cold and i know that it affects everybody differently. we've all had colds and so no, he was not checked by the doctor so the next day, the press office said that the president was seen to check on his cold and was recovering. well, that was thursday. friday before the interview green, jean-pierre's said that he did have a short verbal check-in in the recent days about his cold it wasn't a medical exam or physical. just want to be super super clear about that it was a conversation and his doctor didn't think an examination was necessary here is what the president said last night i was feeling terrible, matter of fact, the docs

lot of those top lines from this briefing, but president the white house press secretary, karine john pierre, really insisted that president biden plans on remaining in this race, even as there are so many questions about his candidacy swirling. >> she said that the president personally disputed a report that's justin. he is weighing dropping out of the race and the president were told and vice president both called into an all-staff campaign call earlier this afternoon where he insisted that he would stay into this race until the end, according to a source, who was on the call, the president said, quote, i am running, i'm the nominee of the democratic party. no one's pushing me out. i'm not leaving. i'm in this race to the end and we're going to win because when democrats unite, we always win. now part of what the white house is trying to do and president's trying to do both privately and publicly is really tried to reassure a voters, but also top democratic allies, that he just staying in the race and that he is up for a second term. this comes, as you have started to see some cracks withi

take that same language and use and it you heard kirby say it and john karine pierre say big boy. >>rian: great pride in saying let's go brandon. they adapted it. do that again. a little surprise we are back with the high heat again. what the hell? i can't even concentrate. [laughter] >> ainsley: i'm sorry. >> brian: lawrence is trying to ask me a question and i can't concentrate my ch shins are mel. >> ainsley: it gets cold in here. >> steve: just before tease in the 5:00 hour the lights blew out. never happened. >> brian: more evidence the democratic party's confidence in the president is waning. the first senate democrat publicly calling for biden to drop out. >> ainsley: brooke singman is here now with all the details for us, hey, brooke. >> brooke: it is nice and warm in the studio thank you, ainsley. democratic senator peter welch of vermont becoming the first democrat in the senate to join that growing list of democrat lawmakers calling on the president to step aside while writing quote he saved us from donald trump once and he wants to do it again. he needs to reassess whethe

john kirby will be joining karine jean-pierre and there is peter doocy walking in the room. >> john: this will be a hot topic particularly in light of the fact that the president sent a letter to congress saying he was not stepping aside and i think we are watching a little white house strategy here as well. john kirby will be coming out and i assume what he will be doing, i don't know for sure, but i assume what he will be doing is a very layout of the nato psalm out that will be occurring for the next couple of days in washington, d.c., starting tomorrow which will take a little bit of the fire out of the push to ask questions about biden and his viability as president. >> sandra: it there's a growing number of reports that purportedly a parkinson's doctor and multiple doctors visited the white house in the past few months. "new york times" reporting eight such doctors paid eight visits to the white house. here's karine jean-pierre and john kirby. let's go live to the white house. >> hello. happy monday. this will be a great week. i have very long things at the top. just warning yo

number two, big question for karine jean-pierre. john levine, you're heard him say it here. why was a parkinson's specialist at the white house ahead of the president is a goal and number three, have you ever scripted a question for the reporters it if so, if yes, how many times have you done it. three questions of money. it will be an interesting 1:30 p.m. press conference. we are one week away from the start of the republican national convention in milwaukee. that is when donald trump will officially become the party's nominee and we will bring you all of the latest here on fox news so tune into our coverage and tonight sean hannity has an interview with president trump at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. tune in. big newsday. next up, "america reports." >> are you confident you can serve another four years? >> on positive. >> biden is old. he's not as articulate as he once was. >> i'm going to run and win again. >> he may not be the best choice to take on donald trump. >> are you sure you are being honest with yourself when you say you have the mental and physical capacity to serv

president his national security team is now in the room along with his press secretary, karine jean-pierre, but john kirby is there. jake sullivan is there, the event secretary, lloyd austin is there, secretary of state anthony blinken is there. they are all in that room right now. astead. the voters that you're speaking to, is there anything that he can do that puts this to rest. in other words, that makes them go back to the way they were before the debate where they knew he was what i witnessed, he could be frail. he is old, but that he was in command of what he wanted to do, or is this going to be every single time he comes out now? it's groundhog day i do think that the nature of the debate was such that every single time he comes out, there will be a standard of folks are looking at to make sure it does not slip into the so-called one bad night. >> but i also think even if we think before the debate, voters were already at the point where they thought that there were questions about joe biden's physical and mental capabilities for but the next four years. so going back to the pre-debate levels

the white house is getting criticized after john kirby and karine jean-pierre said biden would hold aress conference." is this more than just a bad night, that debate night? >> elizabeth what this did was to prove to the american people that the white house has been gaslighting them on what joe biden's condition is, and now, they're acting as if they are so surprised that this happened, but all along, the mainstream media, the liberal press, the white house, they could look at joe biden and see the diminishment in 2020. there were questions about his fitness for office looking at his mental health and the concerns for him on his health and now, it really, you've got to look at january 27 and i think the american people looked at this and said hey, wait a minute. are we being told the truth and they've doubted what they have been told by that inner circle surrounding him. liz: senator, the question to is can president biden secure america, protect america if he reportedly will not work past 8:00 at night, only work six hours a day, because the "wall street journal" reported that german
