npr is the first step, so good for you. first investigation via themselves this tweet from npr it's self right before the 2020 election. here, mpr asks why you haven't seen stories from them about "the new york post" story on hunter biden which the paper broke a month or so before the 2020 election. as you know, the story was flushed on a toilet like an ounce of crack when cops kick in hunter's front door. [laughter] debating whether to reread that. >> they got it. >> greg: it's monday. i have a lot on my mind. yeah, they buried the story only to resurface it later when hunter's dad was safely transported to the oval office like a mannequin to his door front window. like job trying to complete a handshake. the whole thing worked perfectly. this is npr's explanation for not covering the story. we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories. we don't want to waste leaders s and readers time. a segment on the challenges of the himalayas? just more evidence of the white patriarchy at work. an urgent mome

he compared npr checking themselves into rehab.get back to us. i guess npr stands for no professional response. i think the declining confidence is a great thing because it leads to new and innovative products. fox news disrupted from dissatisfaction in america and we got something great out of that. the savvy consumer is seeing things like cnn or msnbc, kind of like a computer screen with icons that aren't real, that trash can isn't really a trash can. now they are beginning to look at tv and say, that was a whip but it was a rain. this guy, blah, blah, blah. that guy is a victim but actually is a criminal. they are starting to realize it is all a fake user interface and that is the smartest way to look at things. this is great news, katie might have been read build on live tv which is great. she kind of figured out, maybe we aren't accurately reflecting reality. that is pretty good. >> geraldo: did npr light influence at 2020 election by ignoring the hunter biden story? >> i don't know what they were thinking, i don't know what i

but not at npr. npr is always focus on the bigger issues, the ones that matter issuesuenes so greaw couldn't even invent them if we wanted to because we lackd t the imagination. >> this, foron example, is an actual segment thatt aired on npr last month. >> listen, many people who are ,whether they are trans or some other form of genderqueer, whatever it is , we love dinosaurs. >> along with being a dinosaur is herselffy transgender. and according to riley, there is a whole community of genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts online. idea, we had no idea, so we checked it out. suret. enough, there there we found dozens of paleo artists online that identify as s type dinosaur into the lgbt spreaded hundreds of results with pride. danos, rainbow, danos, dynel mom died of dads and a lot of puns like ally saurus, trans serotypes, the trans serotypes. at first we thought we knew where the segment was going to go .o, >> trans dinosaurs. so transgenderism isn't something that appeared out of nowhere big yet it date

npr has confirmed that mark short has been called before a grand jury in washington dc.ications that there are investigations that are getting more serious even outside of this congressional investigation, which could lead to policy change, but is not intended to lead to prosecution per se. judy: meanwhile as we were saying earlier, former president trump coming to washington for the first time since he left and right after the day he left office. to speak at this conservative conference. his own former vice president mike pence was due to speak there today, causing all of us to start to look again at how are these republicans lining up? within about 2024. here is a piece of that poll looking at favorability among these party leaders, this is just republican voters. 77%, donald trump. 65%, ron desantis. 59%, pence. liz cheney bringing up the rear, she is not first in the hearts of republicans. >> the remarkable thing about the desantis number is that he is the governor of florida and that is a pretty large number for somebody who just recently came onto the national scen

then there is npr which skipped the declaration of independence of criticizing it. the npr abandoning the reading of the declaration is like caitlyn jenner abandoning men's suits. of course they did. finally are inspirational president weighed in. i wonder if liberty is under assault both here and abroad. >> liberty is under assault, both here and abroad. the recent days there's been reason to think this country is moving backwards. freedom is being reduced. that writes we assumed were protected are no longer. >> you know, that is a problem. i wonder who could be the president. i don't have to. it's you, you old coot to. it is pretty funny. talk about july 4th. just one day. it's not like a whole month called pride. i get it. 30 days for rupaul and one day for ben franklin. rupaul does have better legs, though. but that's not the problem. according to a gallup poll the number of people who are extremely proud of the country is dwindling. like joe biden's neurologist, we are seeing a decline. why shouldn't there be when you have media repeating the idea that you are

there is a poll by npr that says -- opposed by cvs. 59% of americans oppose this. what is your reaction? this is based on a minority of public opinion. >> that polling doesn't reveal what america wants. we will decide. you must have abortion available up until the point of birth. we will settle this for you instead of allowing you to settle this in the court of public opinion. that reality, what i just stated has not been -- by american. the polling reflects what people think should be the law. the polls show, immigrants, pro-choice generally think pro-choice should be limited to the first trimester. it is an understandable people wouldn't quite get that yet but now they will because they will see every state will have visibility and so will congress. to allow the will of the people -- by definition. rather than the supreme court, deciding we have no voice. >> -- to say roe v. wade was allowed until the very it. usually it is because a very dire medical reason. >>'s the study is not just people who agree with me. the study shows late-term abortion people -- it is d

there is not a grand jury investigation so npr said they only get 1% for government. from any taxpayer dime. he funded mpr and that is my view. >> harris: and said so beautifully, steve, a couple of days, letting the time difference where off. and the vice president to tell him what, 30 different times. >> kayleigh: this is one of the biggest revelations to come from the laptop so far because y right, a lot of times we get caught up in the fact the president is clearly lying about not knowing anything about his son's overseas business dealings. but it really is a question was hunter billing messages from his business partners and china, russia, when the president was the sitting vice president? also, the fact that we are still getting a new revelation on the laptop two years later. thick cloud must be 6500 nomadic percent -- unbelievable how much is on this laptop.

now for analysis of what to expect tonight, the significance, domenica montenaro, correspondent for npr news and elliot williams, also a cnn legal analyst. if i could begin with you, it strikes me that the case the committee is making and has been making for weeks is both what the former president did, they argue, to incite this riot, this insurrection, and what he didn't do, to pull them back as the violence was unfolding on the capitol. from a legal perspective, the case you have seen so far, what does that add up to, in terms of the president's potential criminal exposure? >> look, well, i think what we'll see tonight is -- what we should be looking for tonight is anything that speaks to the president knowing about a direct or specific threat and acting on it, number one. number two, encouraging or supporting individuals who were engaged in acts of violence. now, look, we never cease to be amazed by what we find out here and anything is certainly possible. but who knows what information comes out. at a minimum, the information will be -- should be disqualifying for someone for runnin

npr decided to enter a tradition of reading the declaration of independence. here's the tweet. break with tradition instead of a reading of the declaration of independence. important segment about our past and future. okay if you won't have a debate about that, great. but why do you have to stop reading the declaration of independence, that just means the you think it's inherently bad. >> and the declaration of independence can be read in just a couple of minutes, it's not a very long and lengthy document, but it's the celebration commits fourth of july for goodness' sakes, why do we as taxpayers have to fund this npr organization when they won't even read the declaration of independence for goodness sake, why is that so controversial and why can't we just show a moment of gratitude to be united. i remember when barack obama used to talk about we are not the red states of the blue states with the united states, everybody felt good about that. but not anymore, these people at npr can't even read the declaration of independence because they think it's controversial. i don't want

yamiche: there is a new poll this week, the most recent pbs newshour npr poll shows that president biden'spproval rating has been at the lowest since his presidency. obviousl he wants to be out on the road talking about his agenda, but now he is stuck indoors. how much will is impact politically where he wants to be? >> they have been talking for weeks about once weit the summer, he would be out on the road hustling midterms. to have the president isolated in the white house, they are trying to do as much as they came to show he is still working. have released photos, they're talking about the calls he is making, they're trying to be transparent. it is the summer. this isn't september or october. it's not like the window is closing. americans engagement specially with the midterms picks up after labor day. if the white house is going to be eager to get him on the road, they also understand that they need to make sure they are following the cdc guidelines because they have to not only talk the talk but walk the walk as it relates to how that president is going to handle this. you saw his wi

, especially after npr just completely dismissed the hunter biden laptop story in 2020.is reporting new findings from hunter biden's laptop revealing hunter and his then vice president dad met at least 30 times at the white house or the vice president's residence, some of the meetings coming days after hunter biden returned home from foreign business trips between 2008 and 2016. this story rightfully so is not going away and a even npr even though it's taken a lambasting has to admit it needs a reporting team on this. >> right. i mean, there's been no accountability for news outlets that dismiss the hunter biden story but going further back, that promoted russian collusion, that focused so heavily on special council investigation and made it the focus of their reporting and when it turned out there was no evidence to support that, there was no introspection within the media and this claiming to be the gate keepers of what is and is not disinformation, what information is suitable for public consumption. that's part of why the media's credibility is at an all time low and

and in a recent npr-pbs newshour survey, 60% of americans supported legal abortion through at least the end of the first trimester. you know, it was -- it was bill clinton who said in 1992 that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare. so why has neither party been able to embrace a clear majority position on this issue? >> it's too good an issue to get to get people riled up and get them to the polls. this is all about the base. this is something that they both make moneyff of. it's a highly -- it's a hot-button issue, highly controversial. and so they they're really -- we're in an election year. there's no real incentive to try to solve it now. it was hard enough to get them together to do the gun bill that recently passe which is great. i mean, it's a start. it's not -- nobody got everything they wanted, which is what happens when you have consensus, when you try to reach consensus and compromise. but we're moving forward, and that's a good thing. and it will save some lives. not as many as we could have, but, yeah, it'll save lives. so, unfortunately, this issue is just about bringi
