reiner.advised the white house medical team under president george w bush and dr. reiner. i appreciate your time you know, trump obviously making his most extensive remarks yet about the shooting and i played. part of them there. what questions do you still have? as a doctor? of course, noting that we have not gotten any report from them about what happened or any of the doctors involved. us have not. none of them have spoken well first of? all as an american and as just a human being, it's fabulous to see the former president looking, looking well. and i think the fact that he could speak last night for what sounds like an hour-and-a-half? yeah. i think i think really speaks to his recovery and stamina. so that's that's great. it's great to see. >> but we've been told nothing about the extent of the extent of his injury, the president, former president himself, last night said that at some point when he was under the under the sort of protection of the secret service, blood was pouring out o

reiner what do you make of this explanation? both in the letter that was released from the white house tonight and also just how we even got here, why they couldn't simply say that dr. canard was there to consult about all the other hundreds of military service members who support the white house on a daily basis right? it shows how i think defensive the white house has become about the health of the president we? know that the president has been seen by iran were just presumably, dr. canard but certainly not definitely at least once this year because dr. o'connor described the visit in his annual i'll report in february, in which he basically stated that they did not think the president evidence of parkinson's disease. but this whole story over the last day about parkinson's disease is kind of a distraction in one way, but it's also emblematic of a perception that there's a lack of transparency in the white house. as it pertains to the president's health and i think the best way for the white house to move forward and, you know

jonathan reiner. he's a cardiovascular specialists and the longtime cardiologists for former vice president dick cheney what did you make of the letter that was released by the white house? house last night, dr. reiner, what do you think when they released some more information about the visits of the walter reed on neurologist. i know kevin o'connor very well. and if kevin says that the neurologist was there not to see the president, but to see other people. and if he says that the president doesn't have parkinson's disease than the present doesn't have parkinson's disease so i think that should put that issue to rest the unresolved issue has to do with whether the president has it's showing any signs of cognitive decline. i think that's still that's still out there, but i think we should just put this discussion about parkinson's disease to rest i believe dr. o'connor, i would trust him with my life and he's put an end to that discussion. >> right in a letter released by the white house about dr. ca

reiner. thank you.oining us now is former biden white house communications director kate bedingfield, the aforementioned david axelrod, ashley etienne, who served as vice president. harris is communications director and democratic strategist paul begala david, i mean, what do you make of these? because it's the white house from a parkinson specialists well, i don't know what to make of it. >> i will say this anderson. i i i don't believe the president it has parkinson's disease. they say he doesn't, that he's not being treated for that. i think it would be irresponsible to run if you were being treated for that? i don't i have no question in my mind about that. but questions are going to be raised if you're not simple and direct about these kinds of issues, it was predictable that people would have curiosity about why this doctor was there given the issues that were raised by the president's debate performance and the fact that press secretary didn't have direct answers to those questions only intensifi

filmmaker rob reiner became one of the first to call for a change at the top of the democratic ticket. in fact, writing on social media quote, it's time to stop f-in around if the convicted felon wins, we lose our democracy. joe biden has effectively service with honor decency, and dignity. it's time for joe biden to step down now, a few weeks later, came this moment nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy that includes personal ambition so, i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation and now hollywood a-listers are rushing to embrace kamala harris, including my next guest, filmmaker, rob reiner, welcome to laura coates live glad to have you here. thank you. >> thanks for having me, laura, you know, you spoke out pretty early and you continue to make the case. it wasn't a one-off until the president's really his final decision. and here we are. he has officially stepped aside, calm with top of the ticket. how do you feel about it now? >> well, i mean, you can see the party is completely energized. everybody is coalescing around combat as well

jonathan reiner is with me now. he are also of course, was former vice president dick cheney's longtime cardiologist, dr. reiner. look, this is a tough thing. for it's a tough conversation for many people to have. and certainly anybody who has watched a loved one at certain moments as they aged can relate to how difficult perhaps the questions are. i'm curious what goes through your mind though as you have watched the president over the last few days and frankly over the last few months like millions of americans, i did watch the debate last week and my immediate impression was that president did not look well and moreover, that he looked exhausted he looked like an exhausted person. and the effects of exhaustion can really be magnified in the elderly whether or not that is overlaid on top of other chronic or degenerative medical issues has yet to be determined. but i've seen in the elderly the effects of sleep deprivation and they can be extreme one thing, one thing that has actually been disclosed, but not really

reiner and i'm just really concerned. he's at he named 1-years-old. does someone who's that age 81-years-old, upper respiratory problems as described by the white house physician and other issues he knows how does that impact someone's at that age well, i think fortunately wolf wearing a different place than we were back in 2020 before we had access two vaccines. >> now, the president has received probably at least five doses of vaccine, as, you know, a lot of us have and has also had the virus once. and that has really all of those elements i serve to increase his immunity plus we also have paxlovid now and we've already heard that you could take dose of that moment. >> dr. reiner, we're seeing live pictures of the president boarding air force one and right now and what jumped out at me and i'm sure to others as well, i didn't see him wearing a mask as he was with those other people on the tarmac there. what does that say? >> well, i think anyone who has acted covid now should wear, should wear a mask. that's not controversial. that's just it's that'

jonathan reiner of george washington university's joining us right now are dr. reiner? thanks so much for joining us. what do you make of this new york times report that an expert on parkinson's disease visited the white house eight times over the course of the past eight months well, we've known since the presence physician kevin o'connor released his yearly summary of the president's current medical status. that the president did meet and was examined by a neurologist who specialize in movement disorders. and i think that the reason why the white house did that was that the president and exhibits are very, very stiff gait short steps, doesn't swing his arms and some of those symptoms are symptoms that are seen in people with parkinson's disease but in dr. connors? no. he said that the evaluation ruled out the presence of parkinson's disease are multiple sclerosis or als. so that's, so that's reassuring. so i'm not surprised to see that a movement specialist from walter reed saw the precedent. this year what's a little surprising is that he visited the white house eigh

jonathan reiner. doctor reiner. so we know that president biden now we know what does all of this suggests to you well i think there's a a little bit of semantics here it's important to understand that the president's medical care isn't like what you and i have to do to see to see a physician or make an appointment the president has a team of some of the world's best docs that are within every single day and they see him every every single day so i'm sure in the hours and days after the debate, the president did talk to his his physician because he talks to his doctors every day so i think by that measure, yeah. >> i'm sure it's true. he did he was evaluated by a physician. now, whether not that was sort of a full-scale examination and blood drawn and imaging. who knows but i'm sure he was seem seen by a physician in those days after the debate what would you be looking for if you were examining an 81-year-old with a cold after seeing his debate performance well first of all we didn't really see any symptoms so mayb

jonathan reiner joins me now, dr. reiner, i know you're the longtime cardiologist, a former vice president dick cheney, but you posted this today. it's bizarre that no report has been issued by the campaign to describe his evaluation, the extent of his injury what do you make of all this? i mean, we've seen the bandage on his ear all week we've seen the bandage on his ear all week and lots of people have been emulating that in the crowd at the rnc but we don't know anything about how his ear is doing, what's going on. what do you think? >> well, i mean, i think it's it is completely bizarre that the foreign president and current candidate for president was apparently injured by a bullet on saturday night. >> and there has been no official report of of his evaluation. >> we don't know what the extent of his injury is. we don't know what kind of evaluation he had. we don't know if he had imaging and if you'd like cat scan and if he had imaging, you know, what did it show? we don't know if his wound needed any kind of su

jonathan reiner of george washington university. >> dr. reiner.nks very much for joining us as a doctor. you were concerned by the president is debate performance from two weeks ago. what will you be looking for from the president as he takes the stage? just moments from now we'll start won't be looking at his sort of subjective overall appearance the first thing that was evidenced two weeks ago was that the president looked he looked he looked pale and frail. his voice was it's low and halting. he had difficulty finishing is his thoughts and sentences so the overall sort of gestalt of how he looks. and when we see patients in the clinic setting, when we watch them walk into the room, what we watched them walk out of the room, we often get a pretty good sense for how they're feeling and that's the first thing that i'll be looking for as, as the as the press conference begins. >> a how do you distinguish dr. reiner between what might be normal signs of aging in the president versus something more serious? yeah, well, that's where formal testing com

rob reineres we need someone younger to fight back, that narrows it down to about everyone on earth.en suddenly got too old just a few weeks ago, which shows how detached these idiots are from real life. if you don't experience crime, inflation, or illegals, do you think they are going to care your guy is clinically dead? biden backer is telling the heifers on "the view" that he's deeply concerned. >> i'm concerned, the democrats have a big bench and heavy hitters. i worry with the debate, difficulty with the debate, it was relatively simple, you just should have told the president, stand up, put a little makeup on for the debate, which should help him and where to look. >> greg: looks like a vegas magician. no amount of makeup could add moisture to the corps. you heard the phrase polishing a turd, with biden, it is polishing a fossilized turd and there are plenty more. pretty much everybody who has been with joe last four years is telling the truth about him, like chuck todd who says he's known about biden's condition for years. if only he knew a journalist who could warn us about i

jonathan reiner.tor reiner, great to see over the weekend, you tweeted at this point, what is the rationale for not supporting a formal cognitive evaluation of the president and the foreign president. what do you think? >> thank i think we really should see that this is the oldest pair of candidates for president that have ever run and while you can make an argument that in older people without any symptoms cognitive testing is not necessarily required, and that is really the conclusion of the united states preventive task force you can also now make an argument that both candidates have shown symptoms potentially of cognitive decline for the president that was manifest most dramatically at the debate ten days ago look when i see a person walk up a flight of stairs, stopped midway, clutch their chest, and have to sit down. i don't know what's going on there, but i would suggest that perhaps they get a stress test and see a cardiologist and when i see an older person struggle with land language or to c

games and finally the cold turn was lids by 3 time gold medalist maurice as a pair rec and teddy reiner now, the sport becomes the spectacle let the games begin. the ellie i spoke to need of use at least all the we in paris. so you have more and what rest of the ends of the french capital thought about the opening of the games. you know, a, i would agree with what we just heard in the report. people on the touch by the pouring rain that as you saying is, continue here in paris. they cooled the ceremony. slum boy, and magnificent breast taking and it's but i mean it actually, there was everything in it. now you had french history, the cold, so you have a passion. so you had a drag queen show and my favorite my mind was when i come, when i came onto the stage, she walked across a bridge and was reaching when she was thinking of a friend commodity. and seeing that he was pacing racist remarks ahead of the ceremony, and it was announced that she would participate right before her, the republican guard, a stiff military music group was playing. and then she came and walks across a bridge, sa

you've got rob reiner saying he's going to make additional donations alongside his wife, even beyonceeedom song. and there's a lot of engagement now back from hollywood, both from multiple democratic donors tonight telling me they were happy with that speech. >> you are our business and technology correspondent, when did you think about kamala harris as the means. if she's going viral on a number of fronts. >> democratic voters are telling me s they like how memeable kamala harris is buried harris made the case for black women voters and drying the contrast between herself and former president trump and another you would expect to see her and the wife of possible second lady making the case for the media as well. >> thank. john, what about donald trump has tried to pivot now that he's running again kamala harris? >> he's blame her for every possible bad thing in the binding campaign and the heartbreak of psoriasis. if she's a liberal of san francisco, that's a traditional attack. the dome i joined and said the stakes are so high that he had to get out of the race, they said no, you're

two names i want to highlight our john cusick and rob reiner because they are ugly two most prolific of president biden and they have both called on him to bow out. but of course the biggest name to do so, so far as george clooney with that op-ed. and the fallout from that really has come in multilayers. the first is that it just adds on to the pile effective everything. and also his op-ed reaches a different audience. think of the people go to "e! news" before cable news and of course fund-raising. ella ray, a screenwriter behind "the hunger games" he said this is a town that pays attention to the box offices and the numbers don't look encouraging right now. i do think they are going to have a challenge raising more money. >> richard branson we can add to that list a blog post from a moment ago it's time from president biden to make the most important decision of his life, so he says it is prudent if not imperative for outside observers to speak out on the seminole election. including the question of whether president biden should continue his reelection bid." he made his decision i

they'll filmmaker rob reiner, join including writing on x, democracy is facing an existential threat we need someone younger to fight back. joe biden must step aside and house speaker emerita nancy pelosi noncommittal it's up to the president to subside if he is going to run we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short and colorado senator michael bennet on cnn became the first senate democrat to break with biden publicly bennett calling the state of the race very worrisome donald trump is on track, i think to win the selection and maybe win it by a landslide. >> and the white house in the time since that disastrous debate, i think has done nothing to really demonstrate that they have a plan to win this election an adviser to the president said, feeling biden's inner circle are concerned enough to pierce biden's firm position. only family could do that. and only if there's hard data, the adviser telling cnn of his wife and sister, jilin valerie won't let him go down in flames since the debate. cnn's poll of polls shows trump leading biden by five poin

jonathan reiner joins us now, dr. henri heard the president say that he would take another neurological test if his doctors suggested it i mean, first of all, do you think his doctors would suggested but also any patient can request a test if there is if they, want to. i mean, if he wanted to take a test, you could very easily take a test and wouldn't take very long right? this is not up to his doctors. it's up it's up to the patient look, i think he looked like a different person compared to the debate two weeks ago. but the bar was set pretty low and he does seemed to easily surpass that and i was happy to see that the fluidity of his speech was better. and who was able to he had some type of a great grasp both of details but we don't have a plausible explanation for what happened to the president two weeks ago. the notion chun that he had had jetlag a couple of weeks before, maybe had a cold, doesn't really ring ring, true. and i think we're not just looking at whether he can continue on as candidate for president

we all witnessed at the debate shortly after reiner posted on social media saying, in part quote, we need someone younger to fight back joe biden must step aside. now at the same time, two of biden's closest political allies on capitol hill, former house speaker nancy pelosi, and congressman jim clyburn or publicly questioning whether the president's decision to stay in the race is final lesson it's up to the president to subside if he is going to run. >> we're all encouraging him to make that decision. i want him to do whatever he decides to do and that's that's the way it is. >> decision final oh, i have no idea. you have to ask him. i don't know all right. >> let's start with cnn senior white house correspondent mj lee, who is falling president s the global leaders here in dc with thell eyes on biden, how much is at stake for the president well, just this is an unbelievably tenuous moment for president biden. we are some two weeks removed now from that cnn debate. and the democratic party is in a state of utter chaos and panic about the future of president biden's political future

rob reiner also jumping with george. that's right, that's right. among the many people. and these are not only symbols for many of us, but there are people who raised large amounts of money. he raised almost $30 million at one fundraiser recently, the biggest in democratic history. so this is important, this kind of person. okay. the debate was a couple of weeks ago. what are the polls suggest right now after the debate? do we have a good sense of it or is it still too fresh or too new? you and i talked about this that very night, and we said, no, let's wait a little while. well, they've been to the water cooler. yeah. and they've decided. and the kitchen table, the dining table. that's right. all of our work spices. that's right. and what's happened, what's happened is he's losing ground. the cook report came out with these six states that were biden states or close to it. and you can see three have gone from certain to likely three have gone from maybe to no. and this is bad. these are swing states that biden must have. and if he doesn't have him, he's in trouble. even

i'm glad you mentioned rob reiner because he he's obviously a longtime democratic supporter. he tweeted over the weekend. i believe that he is thinks it's time for biden to go. he got a lot of pushback and now he's saying what he said to george clooney. i always learn so much from all of you. thank you. great to see you here. don't go anywhere coming up, president biden's message to naysayers. watch me. well, he's facing a big test today. you see it there. it's a major gathering of world leader, leaders right here in washington. we're going to take thank you. there live. and one of the co-host of pod save america, john fabra joins me along with our very own david axelrod. stay tuned wall we're going to mix up our own show smoothies look i'm hosting shark week i'm just about john cena, shark week all this week on discovery and streaming on max. this summer snatching, just got serious introducing new $3 footlong divers world might not be ready for them, but at $3 a pop your wallet definitely is from cup in their step to shine in their coats. and people switch their dogs foods,

and for his part, rob reiner saying that's my friend george clooney has clearly expressed what many of us have been saying. we love and respect joe biden, we acknowledge all he has done for our country, but democracy is facing an existential threat. we need someone younger to fight back joe biden must step aside and then this morning, senator richard blumenthal, democrat from connecticut, saying to reporters that he is deeply concerned it's about biden's prospects of winning in november after just in recent days saying that joe biden is the nominee and the biden campaign putting that in a press release this morning. and boris, i've just learned from my own sources that organizers for a convention lunch in chicago, that would feature high dollar donors owners. they've decided to scrap that event. it was a relatively small event in the grand scheme of things, but it captures the mood of the donor class right now, which is flashing bright red warning signs, especially in a deep blue part of the country that many of these donors do not feel comfortable tapping their networks and asking the

rob reiner also jumping with george. that's right, that's right. among the many people.se are not only symbols for many of us, but there are people who raised large amounts of money. he raised almost $30 million and one fundraiser recently, the biggest in democratic history. so this is important, this kind of person. and here's a notable programing note for you. our nbc colleague lester holt will sit down with president biden next monday. we're going to air this. you can watch the full, unedited interview in an nbc news special next monday night, july 15th at 6 p.m. all right. we're back in seconds. up next, an up close look at just how dangerous fireworks can be. a victim speaking out straight from the burn unit. his message for those doing and watching these illegal fireworks shows. also, could this impact your bank account? the big change at costco for the first time since 2017. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. heat warnings for much of california as tomorrow will mark our eighth day with 100 degree temperatures and or hotter. i'll show you when the heat wave bre

the publication of this oped from clooney, fellow filmmaker actor, another prominent democrat, rob reiner echoed clooney sentiment posting on x, democracy is facing an existential threat we need someone younger to fight back to joe biden must step aside all of this as speaker nancy pelosi had some interesting comments about biden's candidacy, saying this on morning, joe it's up to the president to subside if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision. i want him to do whatever he decides to do and that's that's the way it is. >> now, what's interesting is, of course, speaker pelosi knows that biden has already made his decision and announced his decision saying that he is staying in the race. she knows that. remember, he declared it publicly just last friday well, let me say this as i can i'm staying in the race i will beat him again in 2020 your ears did not deceive you there. >> that's president biden trying to assure folks concerned about his cognitive skills by saying that he's going to beat donald trump. and win in 2020. 2020. but back to pelosi, her continue

rob reiner followed up saying he agreed with j -- with george clooney and joe biden needed to step asidedonors acknowledged this. the alternative is complicated but most of the ones i spoke to believe resident biden step aside. the campaign things that right now big donors are not as important. they are trying to put a focus on small dollar donations. amna: lisa clooney said most worry that biden cannot be trump. if democrats are unhappy with biden as the nominee, why aren't more saying so publicly or forcefully? >> concerned that there is not a better option. others want to help him get out gracefully. overall, there is a lack of certainty and lack of political conviction by many of these members. on capitol hill, if they do not move soon, folks in the biden campaign say every day is a win for him. it helps him secure the nomination. amna: what is the biden team saying about this publicly and privately to democrats? >> biden campaign aides say they are not delusional. biden has been holding calls, even some we don't know about, trying to prove that his candidacy is still viable. they sa

his doctor says, the president presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms to include reiner rea, which is a runny nose, basically a non productive cough. testing for carpet 19 was then conducted. and the results of positive for the coping, 90 virus. the doctor says the president, symptoms from a mild is a surgery, right? the temperature and pulse, whole normal cloud. you there was don't engine joins us live again from washington dc. john, so i mean, this must have come as a bombshell for the whitehouse. what more they've been saying and, and how important is it for the whitehouse to be transparent here about all this? to the white house is the president. has coven but he is not showing extreme symptoms, but it's very important for them to be transparent because americans already feel like they've had the true. was it about joe biden's, health and mental capacity hidden from them? he was for a long time, a concealed among a small group of age, doing no real big network interviews with back and forth. and he wasn't really out on the campaign trail except where he was reading f

i looked at rob reiner's feed on x.s a couple weeks ago saying that there's no men better than joe biden. we all know those people are a bunch of liars and it's always because he failed an audition. because we know the hole thing is fake. we know the presidency as a whole acting job because he has been doing it since office. is it hard to be president? absolutely not. an old man can do it. they know there's a bunch of elites that can run the country and the president is a figurehead and they are proving it because they can do the one thing. you can be a completely ineffective leader but as long as you pass the audition and the hollywood elites will be okay with you. >> greg: that is a very small -- smart point tom. michel always great to see you. >> likewise. >> greg: i know. it is true that's why they kept biden behind closed doors and even then we knew, so either hollywood was stupid and didn't know or they are lying. >> absolutely could be both. stupid liars, a bunch of stupid liars. inside george clooney coming out

laughter ] a cnn report says biden's debate performance was so bad that at a hollywood watch party rob reinernd jane fonda was crying. are you sure they weren't having sex? [ laughter ] during a fundraiser on saturday, biden reportedly needed a teleprompter for 5-minute remarks. here's what was in the teleprompter... [ laughter ] this is going to go on for five months. in a recent piece white house aides told axios that from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., he is dependably engaged and he asks that terrorists who wish to attack call back in regular business hours. one of the strongest voices imploring him not to drop out is his son hunter. that way joe will stay alive longer, and hunter won't need to bang jill. [ some applause ] thank you. thank you. [ laughter ] and joy reid equated voting for trump instead of biden to eating a pile of poo. which begs the question... how would she know? it explains the grin. all right, all right, all right. i don't need your applause! [ laughter ] let's do a monolog. "the new york times" editorial board has called for biden to drop out. now, when "the times" asks a democr

rob reiner agreeing, democracy and facing a threat, we need someone younger to fight back. joe biden must step aside and actor michael douglas is chiming in. watch. >> a wonderful guy and this just happens to be an election that is so crucial. and it is really hard. i don't worry today or tomorrow, a year down the line, i worry. i am concerned. >> brooke: those comments and that damning op ed was not enough to sway house democrats. >> i appreciate hearing mr. george clooney's opinion and we'll continue to deal with this within our democratic family to make sure that we beat donald trump. george clooney is a movie producer, he needs to produce movies. >> he said the guy he was at the fundraiser was same guy on the debate stage, if clooney has concerns, do you? >> i don't, i don't have concerns. >> former obama advisor david axelrod says clooney's observation is devastateing and what people fear. >> carley: new reaction from gretchen whitmer who does not see the harm in president biden taking a cognitive test. >> should he go ahead and take a cognitive test and demand donald

. >> sandra: rob reiner is weighing in an michael douglas and others "my friend george clooney clearly express what many of us have been saying. we love and respect biden we acknowledge all he has done for the country but democracy is facing an x essential threat. we need someone younger to fight back. joe biden must step aside. steve? >> as i said before these folks all knew this terkel years ago and now they are telling us he has to step aside because he is losing in the polls. this isn't really about his mental fitness because frankly he has had real problems at least in the last few years and remember four years ago, sandra, they had them in the basement he didn't even come out and campaign very much. i think the republicans like me, what we have to be saying is look, this isn't really about joe biden's mental fitness is what he has done to the country for goodness' sakes. i mean we have driven up the dead by $7 trillion, you have a border out of control, crime in our cities, chaos on our campuses, we've lost our energy independence, we should be as republicans talking about the is

not to do so but follows what has been a conga line since, actually before when you includes rob reinerying it is time to go. what to make of this and trends that is picking up steam, we are in los angeles. william? >> some people invest in stock. others invest in candidate and george clooney just helped raise $30 million for joe biden. three weeks later he tells the people who gave that money, maybe i made a mistake. so there to be bad blood there because george clooney didn't just step away. he kneecaped joe biden and i'm quoting here. it is devastating he said. but joe biden, that was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser is not the joe of 2010, not 2020. he was the same man we all witnessed at the debate. adding we won't win in november with this president. today, governor newson of california who attended the fund-raiser agreed that biden seemed flat, but did not say he should back out. >> i think the first comments,s i had to the president were who did your schedule? i can't -- couldn't handle three hour and red eye. let alone coming from overseas so to me those are two differen

now, rob reiner supporting clooney, saying biden should step all out the family we need someone youngerden >> he need someone younger and to fight back and joe biden must step aside. and now the guy who started falling down is worried about biden doing the same. >> i'm deeply, deeply concerned. i don't necessarily worry today or tomorrow but a year down the line, i worry. i am concerned. >> laura: okay, first of all, falling down is a great movie. about raymond, what is going on and why the hollywood revolt? >> part of this is face-saving. clooney embarrassed himself once while blowing his pals to attend star-studded l.a. fund-raiser a few years ago and furious complaints. remember jeffrey katzenberg, biden's primary hollywood bundler with compatriots to throw as well also up in arms. he is so humiliated he skipped a biden campaign meeting. >> laura: maybe it is all up in the air. >> look, for reference, this is biden earlier today. because the fact is so many of my -- let me put it this way, 16 nobel economic -- they won the nobel rise for economic, 16 of them. >> laura: economic law p

besides george clooney got would go toward data carl reiner agreed with him, stephen colbert, jon stewartrmally very loyal friends of the president saying that now it is time for the president to step down. where is all of this going? let's get mark penn, the former clinton advisor, what do you make of this? >> well, i'm amused that the accurate clause has left the station here. [ chuckling ] i never new politics to be guided by what ackers right get a low george clooney, he said is no problem, it would just have a convention, it was sort among all the people. as he has a lot of experience in politics. yet to be very careful if you're going to be taking a caption out a ship, if you change the captain of the titanic it is not a matter, you have to write the ship? the reason people are frustrated with the joe biden is polls are coming back and those polls are bad. going into the republican convention, republicans will have a week of clear messaging to the public suppose we'll get even worse. so joe biden said what he said, he's not going anywhere. his administration is on a full-court press

there, it was asked hypothetically, when he answered it, it's obvious they're gaming out and rob reiner has to go. hollywood producer, joe has to go. >> normally the democrats have a better plan than to air dirty laundry in front of everybody. this is a disaster, whether joe biden is replaced or stays on the ticket this will hurt every democrat running in november and honestly i love to see it. >> with everything you named, the new york times and washington post and the media are saying it's time. cheryl: after they covered for him for so many years. we'll see you next hour. thank you, thank you. we'll be right back. maria and julio thought their life would never slow down. then one day, it finally did. you were made to find inner peace. we were made to track flight prices to paradise. so, what are you thinking? i'm thinking... (speaking to self) about our honeymoon. what about africa? safari? hot air balloon ride? swim with elephants? wait, can we afford a safari? great question. like everything, it takes a little planning. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...i

well, all is not quite on the western front, it is not just george clooney, we also have a now rob reinerhave the head of netflix cackle of these major donors who are pulling the boxing they are not going to do really put the money in it to ajo biden biden campaign, and i think that jason, katie will confirm, you cannot have a campaign if you don't have money. biden continues to do pretty well right now with small donors, he of course has outraised trump initially, so he has some money on hand but going forward into the fall guy he would be innovate perilous situation given with the polls now show and lacking money. i think a lot of that is what is going on in private conversations on the hill, is a donor class is putting the pressure there, even as the politicians are very reluctant to step forward and stick a knife and joe biden. they like a joe biden kojo biden as their friend. >> martha: let me ask you this, let me stay with you a moment to, do you think that george clooney and also john 11 who work for president obama would be speaking out like this if they did not have at least of t

i don't expect barack obama to give up, i don't expect rob reiner and george clooney to give up.on't expect the pressure of big-money people to all of a sudden start flowing in because joe said he is going to stay. i think there will be a lot of pressure from that elite class in the democratic party, within their ranks to stop the flow of the money as a means to try to pressure joe to get out. >> i think you're absolutely right. like i said before, he is just an empty vessel that has served it's purpose for the last three and a half years. but you mentioned this and everyone knows it now, the clintons and the obama's have no respect for this man, none. and people know that but i have seen it first hand. i have been in the elevators before, i have heard the conversations. when he is not in the room. and they have zero respect for this man. i think they will wait to the very end and the convention, i think the hope now is that they get him nominated and then as soon as the nomination is over, they talk him into stepping down at that particular point. they nominate him, he steps dow

. >> rob reiner and george clooney asking biden to step aside. and of course, abc anchor george stephanopoulos was apparently caught on audio saying something to the effect that he couldn't serve another four years. biden, how much weight do you think these comments carry with biden, with democrats and with voters? >> well, there's three different groups there and two different topics that you've managed to bring up, which crystallized the situation. three different groups. we have the biden administration. that is the ultimate, say, one way or the other. and how this is going to go. then we have the democratic leadership, which really is sort of, they don't have a lot of weight. they don't have the weight that people seem to think they do. it's a freelance organization. there's no party elders that are going to go to the white house, knock on the door and sit him down, unless it is barack obama and bill clinton. and that's not necessarily in the cards. the third thing is there's a difference between what the washingtonians are saying and the peo

reiner saying we need more information.should take some time off the campaign trail if it was -- had a concussive effect. where are the scans? >> yeah. joe biden has been a vegetable for about 3 and a half years no one has ever questioned anything. trump gets shot in the face. last few days talking to people and that's how insane they are, laura. i saw, i think it was joy reid he has got covid. if he survives covid, that's basically the same as getting shot in the face. like, i swear punched star of the truman show, okay, laura blink three times if everyone is in on it. like they can't be serious. i had others say, well, you know, he was only shot in the ear. i'm like what are you talking about? you want him -- he needs to be shot more to have -- it's lunacy. it's lunacy. it's trump derangement syndrome. what's nice there is not an american left, right, center that didn't see and this a say you know what? that guy got up this that situation, every guy behind keyboards and internet think they are a tough guy. get shot in the

some high-profile democrats like rob reiner and stephen king also want biden to drop out.you know things are bad when the guys behind "stand by me" won't stand by you. [ laughter ] yeah, biden's brushing everyone off. he's like, "hey, people have been telling me not to run for president since 1988. i think i know what i'm doing. i think i know what i'm doing." [ cheers and applause ] yeah, over the past few days, democrats in congress have called for biden to step aside. a lot of lawmakers are weighing in. here's what they had to say. first, congresswoman susan wild said, "most americans are unhappy with both candidates. the whole situation is absolutely, well, my last name." [ laughter ] then congresswoman michelle steel said, "if you can get through this election without having a panic attack, you must have nerves of, well, my last name." [ laughter ] then congressman jared huffman said, "i'm so worked up about the election that when i look at a can of paint, i just want to, well, my last name." [ laughter ] then congressman bill huizenga said, "i've started watching sit

filmmaker rob reiner, joining including writing on x, democracy is facing an existential threat. we need someone younger to fight back. joe biden must step aside and house speaker emerita nancy let's see, pelosi noncommittal. >> it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short, and colorado senator michael bennet on cnn became the first senate democrat to break with biden publicly. bennett calling them state of the race, very worrisome. >> that'll is on track, i think to win the election. and maybe win it by a landslide. and the white house in the time since that disastrous debate, i think has done nothing to really demonstrate that they have a plan to win this election an adviser to the president said, feeling biden's inner circle are concerned enough to pierce biden's firm position. only family could do that. and only if there's hard data, the adviser telling cnn of his wife and sister jilin valerie won't let him go down in flames since the debate. cnn's poll of polls shows trump leading biden
