obama is the president. i'm just the vice president. but in fact, actually, obama needed biden in the same way that bush needed cheney. he needed somebody to help him understand washington. he needed somebody who had some gray hair, who had some experience on the hill, who could be an ambassador to the establish ment and to the rest of the world. and the truth is actually that highlights a trend that has been true ever since the days of gerry ford, really with one exception, jerry ford is the last president, along with george h.w. bush, who was more experienced in washington than the vice president. they picked. and so the vice presidents until today, for the most part, have been mentor, ears and guides to the presidents. they serve. think about it. it's, you know, mondale for carter, bush for reagan, gore for clinton, cheney for bush, 43, biden for obama, pence for trump. all of these vice presidents have more experience in washington, more and foreign affairs, more experience at the national level than the presidents they serve who te

a very good president.t again. i think in some ways these vice presidential conversations serve to distract from the fact that we have donald trump as president with the success. joe biden as president has been a failure. let's get back to success and peace and prosperity. my advice is, margaret, look. if he asked me, i want to help him, and of course, i would be very interested in the job. you asked, what are my accomplishments in the united states senate? in 18 months, margaret, we've done a lot of work for our constituents. we've got hundreds of millions of dollars to the great lakes. we helped east palestine deal with the train disaster, and we've done a lot of work on making sure that ohio has gotten defense resources that make not just ohio, but our country stronger. there's a lot we can hang our hat on, but i like being a senator. i'm not trying to leave the united states senate. it's an honor to serve the people of ohio, and if you ask me, that where i expect to be in six months. that's where i expe

so president biden made clear he's not going anywhere, and the president's aides say he'll do the

i am leaning towards voting for president biden and vice president harris. look, this guy that you are interviewing now, yes -- host: yes, we are listening. you said about this book? caller: i have seen -- host: tom, i am sorry, you are breaking up. we can't hear you. we will go to ohio. gus, independent. caller: i would like to ask charlie here, when he did those polls on kamala harris, do you ask their party affiliation or do you try to poll 50/50? because that's number one. number two is why don't you write a book about marjorie taylor greene? that would be an interesting book, you know? thank you. guest: that's a good idea. maybe i will call her office and see if we can get started. but as far as polling goes, i think most pollsters try to get a representative slice of the country, half democrat, half republican and try to weigh it in a way that makes sense professionally. there are a number of different polls that have pointed her out as the most unpopular vice president in modern history. more unpopular than dick cheney, mike pence, al gore, even dan q

at the president. if he takes any, we'll bring back to you. they are having that bilateral meeting now. he'll have another working session and be sitting down with pope francis, i'm sure notable moment for him. second time the president met with the pope during his time on office. >> todd: it is fun watching news live. >> carley: day two of the g-7 summit will last three days, president is heading home a day early. california governor gavin newsom paying visit to the border to let you know he is doing everything he can to handle the migrant surge. watch this. >> back down at the border, tijuana, this is the port of entry. we are with the national guard, meeting with custom agents. look, bottom line, they need more resources, everybody needs more resources and the republican party is standing in the way to provide resources for the men and women working hard in the state of california and this country to address issues related to the border. >> carley: tomi lahren joins us now. according to gavin newsom

of presidencies. so let's take harry truman's presidency as an. truman's presidency, one of the most corrupt in the 20th century. banner continued that the real story of that presidency consisted of policy issues such as the berlin airlift and the marshall plan and quote if you try to write history of the truman administration on the grounds of the misconduct of, the white house, then you're not really writing the history of the truman administration. at one point, a strong ideological skew among historian as against ronald reagan almost did him in. amid the disclosure of the iran-contra affair in 1988 american heritage ran an article by irwin friedman that put reagan in the same category as grant harding and nixon, complete with a cartoon one showing the four presidents falling into a hellish fiery pit around the same time, in his private correspondence, see woodward, despite doing his part during the 1950s to perpetuate the corruption narrative. describe the traditional narrative about the gilded ag

seizure disorders and his presidency, without question the worst president, the worst presidency in the history of our country. we shouldn't be having a debate about it. there's nothing to debate. he made up the charlottesville story, and you'll see it's debunked all over the place, every anchor has, every reasonable anchor debunked it and just the other day it came out and fully debunked and it's a nonsense story. he know knows that and he didn'n because of charlottesville and that was an excuse to run. jake: president biden. >> debunked and it happened. just listen to what was said at the time. the idea that somehow that's the only reason i ran. i ran because i was worried a guy like this could get elected. if he thought they were good people coming out of that forest, carrying those torches that he didn't deserve to be president. didn't deserve to be president at all. the idea that he's talking about all this being fabricated. we saw it with our own eyes and what happened on january 6. we saw the people breaking through the windowing ands people occupying -- his own vice presiden

that kamala harris could be the 47th president of the united states if president joe biden runs and wins and whether or not he can serve a full term. so that's a big reason why i wrote the book and also becausea harris. they don't believe she has proved herself ready to lead and a lot of them have made comments behind the scenes criticizing the vice president and don't see her the best choice for vice president and ready to lead. host: who did you talk to for the book? guest: talked to different sources, some from her office, some donors, certainly a lot of behind the scenes people who work in washington. washington can be very cruel hyped theeir frank and honest assessment of a politician. once you make a few mistakes on a national stage, you are written off. it's a big part of your reputation as you go forward is a result of these conversations behind the scenes. host: what few mistakes do you think she's made as v.p. in this first term of the biden administration? guest: first of all, she struggles to communicate well. you see it a lot in somehe speeches and her remarks. a lot of

president trump. thank you, president biden fentanyl. and the byproducts fentanyl went down for awhile. and i wanted to make sure we use them machinery, they can detect fentanyl is big machines rollover everything, it comes across the border and it costs a lot of money. that was part of this deal we put together as bipartisan deal more fentanyl machines, more, more, be able to detect drugs, or more of a numbers of agents, more numbers of all people at the border, and bring when we had that deal done he won. he called his republican comics and don't do it. it's going to hurt me politically. now, he never argued it's not a good bill. it's a really good bill. we need those machines. we need those machines, and we're coming down very hard and every country in asia, in terms of precursors from fentanyl and mexico is working with us to make sure they don't i have the technology to be able to put it together. that's what we have to do. we need those machines. >> thank you, president button, president trump. and again, the question is about amer

one thing that president biden did say was that he called president trump or former president trump aiar, saying that every single thing he has said is a lie. every single one. how difficult is it to fact check in real time during a debate? >> i mean, to the to the point the chairman was making. absolutely. look, if i had to stand on stage with a just a known serial liar, a convicted felon, i think i would lose my balance too. i wouldn't know how to respond to some of the stuff that he just says out of the blue. and we all know it's wrong. it's lies. but it works because he's in the theater. he's not into putting together the policies that will make enable america to thrive. the fact that he doesn't acknowledge the tax cuts, you know, really tore into our our budget, the deficit, the deficits. look, i don't want to fact check donald trump, and i don't want to sit here and say that a man who's 81 years old can't handle the job. i just witnessed the men from d-day when they stood up, stood up because they still had the strength and the stamina. are we saying to them, just because you ca

, he's the challenges president. i know. and he's running just like he wasn't 2016 against the de facto and come at this time, it's the real incumbent that's the beauty of being the challenger. you don't have to solve all the world's problems today. you just have to convince the american people that the incumbent is doing a bad job and they should fire him and higher, you know, i think they've decided to fire biden. it's obvious. have they quite decided to rehire trump yet? close, but maybe not yet, and he still has to close that deal. the problem with this debate is not donald trump, no one's going to remember a thing he said, they'll only remember what they saw of joe, but, you know, i was i was privy to some dial groups that went on last night. what was interesting was on the substance of things economic policy, health care, on abortion rights on a whole range of things biden did much better than trump. i mean, he people agreed with biden's point of view trump did very poorly any particularly poorly when he with h

president. this was all before we started doing our interviews and i was going through jimmy carter's diaries looking for, you know, references to the situation room. and i came upon a one line made 1980 and they said he had a meeting in the situation on parapsychology and then something about longitude and latitude, etc. and, you know, i saw that one line and said, wow, there must a story here. nothing written about it anywhere. but we finally tracked down a man named jake stewart, who was a naval aide to jimmy carter. he's about 85 years old now. he was very hard to reach. we sent letters. we sent emails, we called. he resisted. he resisted. he resisted. finally, he took one phone call and said, tell me a little bit more about what you're doing. and i talked about generally we're doing a chapter on each president. i'd love to talk to you about president carter, and it turned out to be one of those things. and you'll appreciate this as a reporter, where when you finally get there, it's just the

president. the presiding officer: the mr. marshall: thank you, mr. president.se today to discuss topic, viral gain of function research. and i'm calling on this body to place a pause on all viral gain of function research like president obama did in 2014 start with an analogy. could you imagine the united states participating in nuclear sending our money to foreign adversaries to help with their nuclear weapons research say like a country like iran or north korea. but of course no one in this body would suggesthat that's a smart thing to do. but people cannot see what viral function gain is. nuclear bombs have killed three, maybe 400,000 people at the max, but viral gain of function research through covid, has killed over a million americs and worldwide it's at least ten times that, maybe 20 times that. and we still have 15 million long covid suffers, but we continue to fund and participate in viral gain of function research. i would stop and ask thio we have to show for it? 30 years of viral gain function research what have we gained from this? just like in 20

the president, former president, has called himself a political prisoner. but of course, he had legal representation. he has the right to appeal. he's neither been detained nor imprisoned. so why not just let the judicial process play out? >> well, let's go back before you go down that line. in the original indictment, they never identified an underlying crime. under our bill of rights, under our rule of law, a defendant is entitled to know what he's being charged with. donald trump was never afforded that ability. how can his legal team prepare a defense if you don't know what the actual crime is? that is why what happened in lower manhattan was so terrible, and the only time the prosecution could even assert a crime was at the end of the -- in the case, this closing arguments. you're not allowed to do that. every judge knows this. this is why everybody believes this is going to be overturned on appeal. >> let me ask you about that because -- >> the presidential election. that is the problem. >> if it is overturned -- i apologize for the satellite delay. i

, do you differentiate being president, acting as president, and the president acting as candidate? >> yes, we do, and we don't dispute essentially the blazing game discussion of that. of course that has to be done by objective determinations, not by looking at what was the purpose, that is the most important point. >>se did you in this litigation challenge the appointment of special counsel? >> not directly. we have done so in the southern district of florida case, and we totally agree with the analysis provided by attorney general, and it points to a very important issue here, because one of their arguments is of course that, you know, we should have this presumption of regularity. that runs into the reality that we have here an extraordinary prosecutorial power being exercised by someone who was never nominated by the president or confirmed by the senate at any time. so, we agree with that position. we had it raised it yet in this case when this case went up on appeal. >> justice alito? >> when you say that the official acts should be expunged from the indictment, that in itself

president trump is the most pessimistic candidate president of ever seen every thing is the worst.se, the border is the worst, there still an element i think americans want positive and optimism regardless of how tik tok in social media has influence politics. two, president biden has talked about his record, you screw 50 million jobs 3 million more americans have health insurance and the manufacturing jobs including phoenix where they have become manufacturing hub and they will continue to be one going forward. and you can underestimate the power of abortion and keeping it legal and safe. and has been issue and i went for the sitting in 2006 same-sex marriages on the bow they want to enshrine it in the state constitutions hoping to bring up the bigger republican voter numbers -- voting numbers. this will certainly do that. the question i think will come down to an election of how he'll feel about their finances and how would they feel about their finances and future. whoever has the advantage of that moment i think we'll have the advantage come november. >> shannon: we do have a q

>> president trump again presided for four years over a peace and stability. i understand that european leaders and democrats here in america didn't care for some of the language or rhetoric he used. i would say that was necessary to get tough on foreign leaders who are free-riding off of american military strength for 35 years. and what you saw is european leaders actually finally investing in their common defense. that's something they'll do again when president trump is back in the white house. >> the supreme court, the us supreme court friday overturned the trump era ban on bump stocks which were used to make firearms. arguably deadlier during the 2017 las vegas shooting, which killed 58 people, the deadliest mass shooting in modern american history. the court suggested there does seem to be a majority on the court that would support such a move. legislatively, just not through the regulatory process, would you support enshrining the trump era ban in legislation will jake first i want to make a point about the supreme court more broadly, for years, democra

in the first ever tv debate between a sitting president and former president. the sitting president came out of the gate with an unexpectedly weak voice that at times made what he was saying hard to discern. the camp and said it was the result of a cold, but he did seem to falter several times early on in terms of trying to speak in a way that could be heard and in terms of trying to speak to time as the flashing red lights and solid red lights came on to stop him as the rules of the debate indicated. one and two minute segments. this is actually a live shot. president biden and first lady joe biden walking out on stage. stage. this is it a watch party in atlanta. you may have noticed at the very end of the debate as soon as the moderators said good night with lost the shot, so we did not get to see president biden's wife or anybody walking on stage. they have now left the venue and have gone to this watch party event. >> four more years. i cannot thank you all enough for staying and for being here, and for all your support. joe, you did such a great job. you a

this is an unusual debate, we have a president debating a former president. this has never happened in the history of presidential debates, so the public is better informed about both candidates as individuals, knows more about their temperament, habits of thought. and character, but this year, because of the age of both there is a need, even if you think you know a lot about both candidates, to be able to tell whether they are mentally sharp enough and mentally stable enough to be the president of the united states, another non-standard, this year the debates are actually taken care of by news organizations, previously the special commission on presidential debates in the united states was always engaged in conducting, it set the rules in 2020, for example... had an opponent's microphone cut off while one of the speakers was speaking, all because donald trump interrupted joe biden 71 times. by the way, the audience in the studio also often shouted comments, so this year they will be absent. practicing eloquence is one of the main tasks of debate. experts bel

the president authorized that. ukrainians have carried out that authorization on the battlefield, and one thing that i will point out is that the momentum of that operation in kharkiv has stalled out. kharkiv is still under threat, but the russians have not been able to make material progress on the ground in recent days in that area and the united states will continue to support ukraine in holding the line and pushing back against the agreesing russian forces. >> as you know, vladimir putin said in response to that that russia has the option to arm western adversaries in response. one of your top aides here in washington on friday gave a pretty notable speech, jake, in which he said the u.s. may need to soon increase its stockpile of strategic nuclear weapons given the expanding arsenals of america's adversaries. have you seen evidence that russia, china, north korea and iran are sharing nuclear technology at this point? and what would trigger president biden to make that decision? >> well, margaret, i can't speak

for president.nding he's sharp as a tack the american media are playing along in fact playing defense. it's united states of america. we are talk about the president of the united states were talking one branch of government that controls whether we go to war or not and what type of weapons abuse among the thousand other things. you see men and the past healthy men in their 50s. you see you've seen what the presidency does to them. we are the greatest country on the face of the earth and we are facing china, russia, north korea, iran, who have issues going on that are ripping us apart. when she was going on on the street, the crime, the judge, the anti-semitism. it's not good enough for a president to do wellin a debate or do wellin a state of the union speech. see he was great for 90 minutes is great for an hour. many people who have dementia or alzheimer's or elite stages. they can do that sort of thing. that is you look at them and say actually, they are doing okay but they are not doing okay. th

now, this speech coming just hours after president biden met with ukrainian president zelenskyy in paris announcing $225 million in new aid and apologizing for the political gridlock in washington that delayed that package. nbc's kelly o'donnell is traveling with the president in france. also with us, david ignatius, foreign affairs columnist for "the washington post," nbc news military analyst, retired colonel jack jacobs and presidential historian mark updegrove. it's great to have all of you with us. kelly, set the stage for us as we await the president. >> reporter: well, it is a spectacular setting. when you see how the white house has set up the president's lectern on the cliff. this is a cliff that 80 years ago american army rangers scaled that cliff using knives and pieces of equipment to hoist themselves up the side of the cliff in order to disable nazi armaments that were there in order to protect other soldiers and sailors who were coming ashore. a very pivotal part of what was d-day 80 years ago and what is being remembered now. today the president without all the other world

president.nd on the subject, i remember sitting in the oval with our president, joe, shortly after the u.s. supreme court struck down our initial plan to forgive billions of dollars in student loan debt.

[applause] not joe biden! and i'm going to tell you what he said that day. i'm going to tell you what he said that day. "this is not over." [cheers and applause] so we kept fighting. and so far, we have forgiven over 150 $5 billion in student loan debt costs for over 5 million americans. on average more than $30,000 per person and 70 thousand dollars from our public servants like nurses, firefighters, [applause] in 2020, we promised to take on the issue of the epidemic of gun violence. knowing that today, in america gun violence is the number one cause of the death of the children of america. not car accidents. not cancer. gun violence. we took on the issue knowing black amer
