he was a former rfk junior donor. he's also donated to donald trump's campaign and his close to both donald trump junior and tucker carlson. but all that aside, look, the thinking within trump's world was there's a lot of questions for months over who's candace's would rfk junior hurt more, wouldn't hurt then president joe biden and donald trump's campaign more. and now, a question between bothered hurts trump. are harris i'm told that when biden ended his campaign and harris became really the sixth that's it was clear that she was going to talk to democratic ticket. that is when the majority of people on trump's team decided yes we want to seek that endorsement. again, this was a long time coming. now, part of this as well as keep in mind rfk junior. obviously, running had been running as an independent ending his campaign right now in this major speech. but he has been polling pretty well, nowhere near the way that both donald trump now harris are polling. but like we're in for example, in arizona, he's polling at 6

and i just wanna give you one example of that is here in arizona, the current polling showed that rfk junior was at 6% donald trump was at 42%, and harris was at 45%. know donald trump's team think that if rfk drops out and endorses because him that he will get that donald trump will get all 6%. no, they don't think that, but they just think that if they can get any of that or a majority of that that could help donald trump put him over the edge here in arizona, a battleground state, a very critical state, and it's obviously not just here in arizona, it's across the country. rfk was pulling in certain areas at 5% they believe that any vote in a race like this is going to count, going to matter and they hope it goes to the former president kristen holmes live for us in phoenix. >> thank you so much. let's take you to las vegas now where cnn's alayna treene is with former president trump. he's holding a campaign event there before he heads to arizona. alayna have you heard anything from sources giving you a clear indication of whether trump is going to be meeting up with kennedy that is the ex

glendale arizona rally came a few hours after rfk junior endorsed trump. on the trail, trump responded to the news that five secret service agents are now on administrative leave following the public pennsylvania sho shooting. >> i have great confidence in the secret service. they never gave us the number of people in terms of secret service people necessary. >> monday, a bipartisan congressional press investigating will to work the rally site pennsylvania and meet with local officials. >> it looks like kamala harris and tim walz will do their first interview next week but the details are a bit murky. >> they are slated to sit down for their first joint interview next week after mounting pressure on harris to lay out more for policy positions and while it's still not clear who it will be with and when, the interview provides an opportunity for standardbearer of the democratic party to prove her doubters wrong. >> the end 34 day streak since harris doesn't held a press conference or a single interview? her campaign, they are deflecting. >> when will she sit

we international magazine what rfk junior is expected to do.- junior is expected to do.ected to do. we are expecting him — junior is expected to do. we are expecting him to _ junior is expected to do. we are expecting him to may _ junior is expected to do. we are expecting him to may be - junior is expected to do. we are | expecting him to may be indoors former president donald trump. what is less clear is where his potential voters may go. his standing in the polls has dropped dramatically in the last month or so. particularly since kamala harris became the official nominee of the democratic party. i think a lot of this has to do with energy around the two main candidates. as that energy is firmed up, people have been less likely to consider a candidate like rfkjunior who is so far behind in the polls, clearly didn't have a chance and in many senses was a distraction. were he to step aside, i think it clarifies the race a little further as a trump harris matchup. just havin: as a trump harris matchup. just having watched _ as a trump harris matchup. just having watched

rfk junior was my drug dealer when are we going to really relitigate from 30 years ago if rfk was a drug dealer, i think it's likely that he was around this word conspiracy theory. >> i remember in october of 2023, people saying republican conspiracy theory that joe biden will not be on the ticket. he will not be the nominee. turns out that conspiracy theory that was republicans apparently came true when we throw this word around. it really ticks credibility away from the people who are talking about it, especially there are real conspiracy theories out there want to be aligned with this guy what i mean, i except for the fact that you think you might get some votes from do you really believe and his anti-vaxx nonsense, these pyrrhic, do you believe do you believe in this this this the philosophies that he espouses. >> he's supposed to be an environmentalist that's part of the way i know, but he's endorsing somebody who's taking visit is antithetical to what the environmental movement with disagree with that on its face. >> the fact that he would be antithetical to environmental wasn't my

a lot of rfk junior's supporters are sort of trump curious. i'm not convinced though that this is going to be that meaningful. i do think that these are low propensity voters. i think when you're talking about 55% of 45%, where they break either way, nobody knows this isn't a group that has been pulled very closely. it isn't a group that has been followed very closely. and so i'm not convinced that this is going to be determinative so this brings me to the point that, that we were playing eric bolling if you know, you can talk about a percent here and there and like it all matters. but then there's the big picture of maybe it doesn't because this is the situation that this whole thing appears there's to be let me just play eric bolling you're losing we're losing the race. we're losing the presidency. any news he has some level on the left, right now, is overwhelming. they're trying to say that the democrats are the patriots. they're wearing camo hats with kamala harris's name. i camouflage that's ours. >> i mean, you know, it is sort of the im

and trump is going all in eric on his embrace of rfk junior despite rfk junior's long history of being a democrat, which i guess trump shares, right? rfk, known conspiracy theorists on things like vaccines. but sources have confirmed eric to us that kennedy is going to be part of trump's transition team if he wins and this is just some of what we have heard from trump and vance about kennedy since his endorsement of trump or you considering appointing rfk junior's or health secretary if you're reelected, we have a joke about it, but he knows a lot about the subject matter or any really he received by the party. >> he's a great guy very well received i hope rfk has a role because he's a smart guy. >> i think he's fundamentally a good guy and i'm glad to have all the team hope he has a role, glad to have him on the team. do you share those views, eric but listen, it might bring them 12 or 13 votes. >> trump is probably more likely to lose pro-lifers for saying women's reproductive rights will do graded his administration than the votes he's going to gain from rfk. i just, you know, as an

and tonight that is just what rfk junior did. suspending his campaign, throwing his support behind former president don -- donald trump and taking aim at a core theme of this week's democratic convention. >> don't you want a president who is going to protect america's freedoms? >> but first, know that the vice president is officially her party's presidential nominee, focus is on seven key battleground states, including arizona where former president trump today, took his message directly to sunbelt voters. >> gone forever is the old democratic party of fdr, jfk and that's right, even bill clinton. kamala harris his democrat party is the party of free health care for illegal aliens, communist style price controls, defunding the police. >> jonathan: our business correspondent is live in arizona as the former president tries to get the last word at the end of a week dominated by the democratic convention and the coronation of kamala harris. good evening. >> jonathan, good evening to you. and this evening we saw a moment that in past

discussions started happening between donald trump's team, as well as rfk's orbits specifically on donald trump's side, it was don junior tucker carlson and a man named omeed malik. omeed malik, who is a donor for both rfk jr. and donald trump. they continue to broker these talks and particular, this became a almost emergency situation when kamala harris was moved to the top of the ticket because there was a belief among trump's orbit that any votes that rfk was going to take from either candidate, we're likely to come from donald trump more so than kamala harris, something you heard rfk saying today that it became apparent to him that in these battleground states, he was actually taking more votes from donald trump, wall amplify those kinds of conversations and that's how we ended up here today, particularly after it became clear that there was really no path to the white house for rfk junior now, i've heard a lot of democrats play this down today saying that it's not that important. he has had a very controversial campaign and obviously we know that is true. this is a man who sat down for vanity fair article and brush

i want to play this from rfk junior. the -- he dropped out of the race or suspended his race and he went off the media and blamed them in collusion essentially with the white house for making it very hard to for anyone else to enter the race. >> during the 16 months since i declare, abc, nbc, cbs, nsnbcs and krcnn gave only two live interview. they ran headpieces with in, a rats and often vile per jor tifs and defamatory smears to keep me off the debate stage. >> martha: very strong wordses for the media and pointed to the reporters in the room said look in the mirror and ask yourself if you feel ok want the cooperation between the network and the whites house, what do you say? >> i in i it is sad to see i think it is sad seeing bobby scapegoating the interview. fox has -- given him airtime. he has been a fringe candidate with no applause, way or prospect of becoming president and whether it is -- he has been a colorful candidate, talking about vaccines, or brain worm or covering up the dead bear that he put in his car s

rfk junior's officially out of the presidential race. he suspended his campaign today, say he's pulling his name from about ten battleground states and surprise as surprise. he endorsed donald trump. how did this happen? you might ask, well, he says he tried to get vice president kamala harris to talk to him, but he says she refused trump though, heard amount. and in fact, for the potential of a cabinet job for rfk junior, if he wins a cabinet job for who? not the same rfk that you said this about just in may, right rfk junior is a democrat plant, a radical left liberal, a big time tax, or he wants to tax you and open border advocate. >> i'd even take biden over junior because our country would last about a year or two longer than it would wood junior, he is not a republican, so don't think you're going to vote for him and feel good. he's a radical left democrat okay. >> so what happened since may, which is when that was to change all of this is i rfk junior underwent any sort of transformation since then to the contrary, his polling has

rfk junior is having an event today in phoenix, arizona. can you tell us what we know about what is expected today? guest: all we know for certain is that he is going to announce his next step in his presidential campaign. as i'm sure your viewers know he has been running as an independent, pulling pretty significantly on independent standards. his campaign has been struggling in the last few months and in terms of fundraising, and holding events, and has seen a dip in polling. his running mate suggested on a podcast earlier this week that the campaign would try to stay in, potentially in the race to garner 5% of the vote, which helps them get federal matching funds for a future election. or they would drop out and endorse donald trump. host: rfk junior and former president trump are both planning to be in arizona today. are they planning to meet? are they planning on appearing together? guest: we know that they met several times in the last month, at least going back to the rnc, talking about this possibility of kennedy dropping out, endor

take a look at what he said then versus what he's saying now. >> rfk junior is a democrat plant. a lot of people think that junior is a conservative. he is not, he is more liberal than anybody running on the democrat side. chief funder is the vp candidate that nobody ever heard of, her. she did a hell of a big number on the husband. that's her business. i'm very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion for so many of these values that we all share and we've shared a, for a long time. he's highly respected. he has a great person trump. >> also said that rfk junior his whole life by everyone, but paula, even some of rfk junior's own family members have disavowed him and they are supporting the democratic ticket over their former family members or their family members should say let's see if i also want to ask you about this surge of enthusiasm, the momentum that we've seen for harris after the convention this week, how is the trump campaign combating that? well, we're going to see a far more energetic trump going forward. we saw last week where he held events eve

rfk junior also said the system was honest he would have won this election.nnon: lucas and thomas are important for the white house thank you for joining us and now it's robert f kennedy jr. welcome to "fox news sunday." >> thank you for having me. what does it this way out of it you and president trump not always fans of each other he posted on social media earlier this year is one of the most liberal lunatics ever to run for office a phony radical left a fool whose poll numbers are terrible and getting worse. the new yorker said a couple of weeks ago this in a recent text exchange kennedy told one person trump was a terrible human being arethe worst president ever bary human he's probably a socio- path i have not read your text how to get from that position to friday night? >> it became clear to me i did not have a path to victory. sixteen months of censorship of not being able to get on any network except for fox. i had in fact, when ross perot ran in the 10 months that he ran he had 34 appearances on the network. i had to appearance in 16 months. i was bl

you will see how that translates because there's only one candidate willing to embrace rfk junior, kamalaresident biden, the democrat party thought him in every way. not everything about what donald trump stands for aligns with rfk but a lot of big issues. there's a populist consensus. this could be a big deal. rachel: big issues, censorship, endless wars, getting food chemicals out of foods, corruption out of the way we do things in government whether it is with pharma or big bag. i spoke to rfk junior just the other week before this endorsement happened. we talked about food. i also asked if his presidential run didn't work out, would he consider a position in the trump administration. here's what he said. >> if you don't become president are you willing to take on a position like this in the trump administration as health czar? >> one way or the other i will fight to get this -- we have a generation of kids swimming in a toxic soup right now. we need to, we are betraying them, we are supposed to be taking care of our kids and we are letting these industries corrupt our agencies and mas

that is coming up, first rfk junior and what led him to drop out.e is fox news correspondent, madeleine rivera. >> robert f kennedy junior decision to suspend his campaign and back former president trump was slammed by his family members as a betrayal. he says he wasn't driven by animosity. >> i don't act out of anger or revenge or resentment. it is a bad motivation. it's like swallowing poison and hoping 70 else will die. i don't do it became clear to me i did not have the victory, 16 months of sensory ship i've not been able to get on any network except for fox and in fact when ross perot ran in the ten months he had 34 appearances on the networks. i had to appearances in 16 months i was blocked off the networks and i had no path to victory. >> kennedy and trump agreed to a unity government. that's the extent of the relationship up to this point kennedy said no guarantees that he'll be offered a position in the trump administration even though trump said he would be open to the possibility. >> he invited me to form a unity government and we agreed

how did he react to rfk junior anti-communist harris is convinced convention speech last night what do you make the same thing that we've heard from him over and over again about rfk since this endorsement was really in the works, he was praising him. >> he was saying how he was a terrific guy. >> but when it came to kamala harris, there's a lot of attacks. we know that this has gotten under donald trump's skin. he obviously watch this each last night we saw his reaction in various interviews afterwards on true social and it was a very aggressive reaction that came after a week of attacks, a week of louisiana, some on the democratic side, as well as excitement at a week of big crowds and big ratings, all things that bother donald trump. take a listen to what he said about the speech she, didn't mention the border. she didn't mention inflation. she didn't mention the bad economy. she didn't mention crime. she didn't say anything she talked about her family, how beautiful san francisco was under her as district attorney, she destroyed san francisco just go. and then as the attorney gener

>> well, rfk junior made that speech in phoenix, arizona earlier today. former president trump is scheduled to speak in glendale, arizona, in about half an hour and they've tease the trump campaign has teased a special guest. we just don't know who that is. >> all right. we'll wait and see video. thank you so much. and vice president kamala harris wrapped up a historic week at the democratic national convention last night. she beat out her vision for america during the biggest speech of her political career where she officially accepted the democratic party's nomination for president. >> on behalf of americans like the people i grew up with people who work hard. >> chase their dreams and look out for one another. on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on >> i accept your nomination. >> and that nomination makes the oakland native the first woman of color to lead a presidential ticket in u.s. history over the course. knew that was going to happen over the course of the four-day convention. the harris campaign and dem

early remember when rfk junior was sitting at 15% of the polls are 14% in the polls early because he had a larger universe to your venn diagram question. >> i believe as rfk jr. has come down and political gravity has been applied. his universe has gotten without much overlap of a potential harris voter if people initially were like, hey, in this biden trump matchup, maybe i'll look at rfk junior, the harris campaign would like to talk to those people in also-ran, it should david's point when people learned more and more about robert f. kennedy of that tender 15% when they learn more and more about where he was on vaccines and what have you and some of the things that he said that we lost some of that support so rfk junior's running mate, nicole shanahan was speculating earlier this week that kennedy, who is humid prominent vaccine skeptic he would be open to taking a role as secretary of health and human services in a future trump administration you i see your face pin whenever you talk to people in the political space, it's a punchline to them. the idea that he might be the hhs sec

[cheering] works rfk junior walked out to the foo fighters on my hero.alls northern home i digress the timing notable one after vice president harris excepted her party's nomination for president. not a coincidence of course here's rfk junior last night. >> the best way to build a safe america is to re- build our industrial base and rebuild the middle class in this country. don't you want a president who's going to get us out of the wars in his going to rebuild the middle class in this country? >> the dnc in chicago vice president harris mentioned trump's main much more than the word inflation bird that she did touch on the economy. >> instead of eight trump tax hike we will pass a middle-class ataxic cut that will benefit more than a 100 million americans. we will create what i call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy were everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed. >> with news that you astronauts are stuck in space until after inauguration day in february of 2025. a reminder who heads the national space council here at the w

more on rfk junior endorsement and let's bring in our political panel.now is lauren tom wilson. welcome to both of you. >> thank you for having us. let's start with rfk junior. from his day job in the future trump administration. >> no. there has been no commitment spirit i met with president trump with his family with his closers, advisors and we just made a general commitment that we would work together. >> what do you make of the timing of his dropping from the race and the impact potentially in november. >> this will be really pivotal full. i think he mentioned a couple of things that were really crucial. he will take himself off of the ballot in some of the key swing state races. most of the voters registered independent voters where rfk would potentially make a difference. you look at north carolina as well. the fact that rfk has announced he would be taking himself off of those states, trying to make an impact in terms of the deep red, deep blue states to show what he mentioned to families. not being able to participate in the debates. i make of i

trump said he would be honored by an endorsement from rfk junior. ows there will be such an endorsement or whether he would offer rfk any kind of position in his cabinet or anything like that. however, the question is whether rfk endorsing trump will make a difference in the election. rfk is around 4%. it's less than what he was polling when biden was in the race. the margins are so, so very narrow that that could make the difference at the end of the day in november. >> third-party candidates made a big difference in 2016. garrett haake was speaking to donald trump yesterday asking him about rfk junior. >> reporter: we have been reporting rfk junior is getting ready to endorse you. what role would he have with your campaign or in your administration? >> i don't want to get too much into it. you are telling me something i don't know other than i have always been friendly with him. if he were going to endorse me, i would consider it a great honor. >> david, rfk junior is slated to speak this afternoon in phoenix about his path forward. we don't know i

trump will be in michigan as he enjoys a campaign boost from rfk junior's endorsement. kennedy posting this on x. in an attempt to mend ties between political parties and explains the term of maga really means. recalls a nation brimming with vitality with a can-do spirit, hope and belief in itself pretty also posted this photo of himself and trump shaking hands. the caption make america healthy again. maria spoke with lara trump and ron johnson on "sunday morning futures". they gave their takes on the endorsement and what it could mean for a second trump cabinet. watches. >> i think it is huge. i think the democrats are very upset about that, that is great i think oc in the swing states where he's taken himself off the ballot. the percentage pump that it will give donald trump is going to be huge and i think you'll see that in the next round of polling. >> the only thing important doctrine is uncle administration, chronic illness is at 6% now it's at 60%. chronic illness drives our massive healthcare industry the trillions of dollars that we spend on it. it's been large

rfk junior is right we are eating plastic. what say you?ose something i am a member of the peanut butter community. there is a huge issue raging in the community many people, particularly when you get nasty peanut butter where the oil goes to the top mix it up with a spoon and put it in the fridge to solidify. then it becomes essentially a solid. when it comes back out again it turns into a liquid. so what is it? the community cannot decide. >> i will solve this right now. you can have a water balloon fight or a peanut butter balloon fight. do you want to get wet or do you want a concussion because if i get hit by a peanut butter balloon i will get knocked out. >> the only time peanut butter is a liquid is when you eat too much of it, that was for greg. happy birthday. >> greg: happy -- thank you. >> i think if you get a jar of skippy which is what they warned us about it is rock solid. if you get the trader joe's it is liquid. but my question is why? >> maybe it has real oil and it. >> but it is sweet. >> i love it skippy. i love peter pan

and rfk junior was very critical of that vaccine. fred, throughout much of his campaign and then obviously trump feels like the endorsement from rfk jr. could actually help him in the race against vice president harris. >> is that with the campaign overall is thinking but certainly they're hoping, look, donald trump, excuse me, rfk junior's support has been dwindling, dwindling consistently over the past few months. he hasn't hit double digits and a poll since joe biden dropped out of the race. in fact, once cbs poll recently gauges support at about 2%, and many of these people full, who were intending to vote for rfk junior are people who don't typically engage in national politics. there are people who said that if they weren't going to vote for rfk junior, they'd probably wouldn't vote at all, but donald trump remains convinced that he can pull a large chunk of these people into his orbit, that they, that he can outreach this anti anti-establishment messaging to them at something he has tried previously with libertarians, with peop

been saying it for over a year, rfk junior's for sale works for trump bedfellows and loving it. kamala harris is for the people, the easiest decision of all time. just got easier i don't know if he formally endorsed harris-walz. i a.i. >> i. am a huge fan. i'm going on the road to campaign for the next president and vice president united states, as i said, i know governor walz, i served with them in congress. as i said, we've been friends over the years and, he spent five hours. we had a day-long event and around how to improve our mental health and addiction system 90% american screen for mental health within ten years, 90% treated with evidence-based treatment, 90% supported in recovery. we wouldn't expect any less if there were any other illness. and yet we look for less than 20% of americans getting any of that today in this country so much more needs to be done. >> former congressman patrick kennedy, i really appreciate your time. thank you thank perspective. >> now, from david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama, ashley etienne, her former communications dire

[applause & cheering] he is very happy abouts the no tax on tips because he was the one -- the first one that presented it after the yo

so that's another way that rfk junior endorsement might backfire. but to your question, kaitlan, look we see this incredible positive beginning. i thought kamala harris's speech was about as good as it possibly could be. i've thought the biographical element of it really help people to feel her heart and soul and her humanity, her, her origins connecting to so many people's everyday lives, lives. and i think her indictment of trump was strong her vision of where it take america was much clearer and stronger than much of what we heard from president biden over the last few months. but this is now about turnout of the democratic base, which is still far from settled. we know trump had made serious inroads. so this is where the democratic party can not make the mistake focusing just on paid media and there'll be plenty of it with the money she's brought in. the field game really, really matters here. it's harder to get people to vote then literally ever before. so getting to people in their communities, in their houses of worship at their workplaces th

he tweeted today that essentially what this showed was just that rfk junior's vote was for sale. is that how you view it as your brothers vote is just his endorsements just for sale you know, that's not the way i would put it. >> i think it's it's sad and it's a sad ending to alone, sad story and i think anybody who's been watching bobby and his actions, who would draw the same conclusion as i'd say i love him but i think that he's terribly, terribly misguided you know, in a state like arizona where he was with trump tonight. i mean, that was a state that was decided by by such a small margin of votes. are you worried that if donald trump does win in november and you obviously would like a different outcome, are you worried that you that this what happened today could impart be to blame well, you know, i'm an expert on this, but i did speak to separate pollsters when i was out at the dnc and they all had the same thing which was that barbie is booed is of people primarily people who are disaffected either their people who would not vote at all for anyone else, or will vote for a

he was someone who was donated to rfk junior's campaign in the past, but is also a trump donor.o they've been key in these talks. and really i was told that the change of how they viewed an endorsement from rfk junior was when biden ended his campaign and harris became the likely person to replace fight. and they said that they weren't sure whether or not bringing on rfk junior onto having him as a trial trump surrogate, having his endorsement would benefit them, but they really believed after harris was the one to top the democratic ticket, that it would work in their favor. and so stay tuned for that announcement tomorrow. >> we'll be watching alayna treene. great to see you. thank you so much so who could possibly be bigger than oprah? well, maybe we'll find out what celebrities could be in store for this fourth night of the democratic national convention. and then not related related. don't think taylor swift speaking out for the first time since the terror threat, they canceled some of the shows on her tour are you ready to connect to a person? >> i think journey with turki

that is because rfk junior is at rock bottom that is why he is dropping out.independent candidate that seemed like the most forbiddable one since ross perot, he is more of a punch line on late night shows thatten he is seen as a serious political figure. i don't see him bringing much, much benefit to donald trump here. just one quick point i want to make, from the beginning democrats said we want a bionary choice, we want it head- to-head. we know his creeling is 46% and 47. when you have more candidates in the race it makes it easier to win under 50% and we know that she has a better chance of getting to 50% than trump does. >> i guess what i am trying to understand is, he may not -- whatever that is endorsement of trump may not make a meaningful difference between hairis and trump but i want to get it in for a second. he still thinks he is kind of in the race. he is saying basically if you vote for me in a red state or a blue state it will not hurt or help harris or trump. go ahead and do that. i am pulling out in the battleground states. i don't understand

i'm going move rfk junior zags. it sets up a 2 candidate race with 74 days until the election. weiss, president kamala harris's campaign tried to convince kennedy voters to vote for the vice president. in a statement the campaign says for any american out there who is tired of donald trump and looking for a new way forward. >> ours is a campaign for you. the vice president did not answer questions about kennedy on her way. back from the democratic national convention. >> a former president donald trump said he did not discuss a possible cabinet role with rfk junior in exchange for his endorsement. also in his speech, suspending his campaign, rfk junior fantasized about an electoral college tie. he said it could put him in the white house in washington. i'm today some lot back to you. >> we'll take a look here. a man standing on top of a waymo driverless car on market and davis streets in downtown san francisco. it all happened during rush hour traffic today. you know how busy that intersection can get. the man standing on the waymo hood waving at people and that appears to blow

rfk junior backed trump, he wants to make america healthy again. the kennedy family disowned him, his sister kerry said her brother has desecrated the family's values, trump hatred on full display. donald trump suggested that bow out of the september 18 debate on abc, trump objected to carl's interview with senator tom cotton this editor correctly pointed out that kamala harris has not actually said publicly what her health policy is, trump says abc is biased. harris says she will do a media interview by the end of this week, does she need to, she's not sure. she brought an incredible $540 million since biden left the campaign. the president himself is on his second week of beach vacation, he is not in d.c. as a white house message suggests. frequent question who is in charge of our government. let's get to the markets, stocks close to all-time highs on rate cut expection and expectation. rising concern of the preemptive strikes in babylon. the gallup 70, s&p update, the nasdaq on the downside 18 points lower. the price of gold is doing well with a

and obviously we should note rfk junior, a vaccine skeptic. i mean a vaccine denier for a large, large part of of recent memory yeah, this is one hard to believe that they didn't have this conversation because i'm fairly confident that's what rfk junior was doing by endorsing trump was to ensure he would get a cabinet position should trump be elected so again, i just going to parse that they are, but with that caveat, but i do think that this is again, a sign of what donald trump has, has done. >> and again, make a by themselves what we're talking about. but it does not reflect what the republican party down-ballot is looking forward to again, they're focused on the economy, on safety and security, and the house and senate. really need to distance themselves and focused on policy issues. because what's happening at the top of the ticket for republicans, which, you i'm a republican and it's largely arrows. all right, we let donald trump be our candidate again but they need to defend themselves because if they have any chance in november, it can
