[cheering] at the same event in detroit, trump played some of his greatest hits, like comparing himself to a notorious gangster like that's a good thing. >> got indicted more than the legendary alphonse capone. has anyone heard of alphonse capone? scarface. he was so mean that if he had dinner with a person and if he didn't like him, he would kill the person. they would never find him again. like mike lindell. he wouldn't like mike. because, you know why? he'd say "those ads, they are driving me crazy. let's get rid of this guy." al capone would take mike out in two minutes. he'd never be found. he'd be buried under the world trade center. [audience reacts] >> stephen: i'm no psychologist, but does donald trump want to murder mike lindell? "at first, al capone liked mike lindell because he helped capone, but then mike start

>> jon: ronny johnson!cognitive test is a great point, if only his doctor was actually named ronny johnson and not actually named ronny jackson. he got the guy's name wrong on his cognitive test! [laughter and cheering] i don't even know what to say. well, here is the problem, the sad thing is, under maga law, his name is now ronny johnson. this is the way. those aren't the only comments trump seems to have spit the bit on. just weeks before he heads to the republican national convention in milwaukee, he called milwaukee, quote, "a horrible city." forcing liberals around the country to defend milwaukee! a city they then had to pretend to have been to! "oh, milwaukee is the finest city in... i want to say indiana?" but don't worry, because donald trump cleared the whole thing up. >> well, i think it was very clear what i meant. i said, we are very concerned with crime. i love milwaukee. i have great friends in milwaukee, but it's -- as you know, the crime numbers are terrible and we have to be very careful.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: um, do -- do you know ronny johnson? onny jackson is the name of the doctor. [ ohs and laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i mean just -- "isn't he great, ronny johnson." trump bragged about passing one cognitive test while failing another. [ laughter ] it's like walking into a glass door after the doctor says you have 20/20 vision. [ laughter ] guys, listen to this, i read that tomorrow for the first time in nearly 25 years, vladimir putin is making a a state visit to north korea. [ audience oohs ] putin and kim jong-un. yeah, also meeting up, voldemort, the penguin, and bowser from "super mario bros." [ laughter ] [ applause ] yeah. it's -- it's a big visit. right now, kim jong-un is deciding whether he should dress like morpheus from "the matrix" -- [ laughter ] or summer diane keaton. [ laughter ] in response to putin -- [ laughter ] that's real. in response to putin get together with kim jong-un, president biden said, "this meeting between two dictators should be closely monitored." while trump was like, "fomo!"

ronnie johnson, does everybody know ronnie johnson, congressman from texas?e house dr. >> no. nobody knows dr. ronnie johnson because his name is ronnie jackson. can you gave your reaction to this moment? he was trying to go after president biden's mental acuity and gets the guy's name wrong. >> he loves these tests. why are you talking about the test when -- is some funny and i get it and i own i sound funny but he don't always sound like the sharpest cookie. i'm not running for president. he wants to be president of the united states, people. i think women in the selection are going to determine who is going to be the president so he should be doing everything he can to look smart and women can look through a dumb man every day and twice on tuesday. >> those sharp cookies are not tasty. thank you both for being here. you all know ronnie johnson, do you? >> didn't he play second base for the dodgers? >> he did. you know who would not know that, donald trump. >>> you have seen warning labels like this on tobacco and alcohol. that is how serious this is. the t

doc ronny johnson, does everyone know ronny johnson, congressman from texas? he was the white house doctor. >> a swing and a miss. at the very moment that he was questioning president biden's mental acuity, donald trump forgets his own former doctor's name. it's jackson. not johnson, donald. just the latest example of the proverbial cheese sliding off trump's cognitive cracker. >>> plus, president biden's stark warning about trump's ability to alter the courts for decades. if he's allowed back into the white house. >>> but we begin tonight with manufacturing consent. a concept introduced by edward s. herman and nome chomsky in their 1988 book on the political economy of the mass media. here's a clip from the 1992 documentary of the same name. >> but when the state loses the bludgeon, when you can't control people by force, and when the voice of the people can be heard, you have this problem. it may make people so curious and so arrogant that they don't have the humility to submit to a civil rule, and therefore, you have to control what people think. >> in shor

ronnie johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson, he was the white house doctor. he said i was a healthy as president, he feels, in history. >> interesting. in fact, that was about ronny jackson. also new today, some donald trump supporters on capitol hill weighing in on the former presidents talk of pardoning january 6 defendants a few days after trump visited the area. abc's julie sirkin is at the capital with more on that. what are we hearing today? >> not just supporters of the former president, but those potentially in the running to be his running mate in the november election, they talked on the sunday shows about the former president comments, not only echoing what he had to say about considering pardoning january 6 defendants, including potentially violent ones, and also downplaying trumps comments. the former president said that he would enter pardoning all of the defendants charged and convicted with trespassing here in the capital on january 6th. take a listen to what some of them had to say, including john cotton and tim scott. >> he said he would con

ronny johnson does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from texas it's actually dr. ronny jackson, not johnson, donald trump there for getting the name of his own doctor while challenging biden to a cognitive test. if you've been watching right-wing media, that's probably not the moment you were expecting us to play. no. instead it is this clip that they've been circulating to question biden's mental? fitness? it's biden at the end of his los angeles fundraiser from over the weekend, you can see him standing before cheering crowd and then barack obama grabs biden by the hand and walks with him offstage. the new york post, among others, claiming biden froze. there is no evidence of that, but fox and others have been replaying this on a loop, claiming otherwise for his part, mark cuban weighed in saying, both candidates are old, very old? there both are going to have senior moments, misremember, forget things, and have physical frailties. he adds, one is great at sound bites, but also thinks in soundbites. the other is awful lot sound bites, but things in complete sent

ronnie johnson, does everyone know ronnie johnson? congressman from texas?e white house doctor. >> so, fernand, to your point about cognitive decline, he is challenging biden to a cognitive exam, and he cannot even remember the name of the former white house doctor, ronny jackson, kept calling him ronnie johnson. ronnie johnson. >> with trump, projection is everything, every accusation is a confession. and that's why i say very seriously, this is not the donald trump of 2016, who for all of his madness then, there was at least some die, you knew what he was doing, he was a little more tactical and strategic about things he would say, let alone 2020. this is a guy who is further and further off the rails, you see it and comment like that, and i think you see it in the reaction of people around him. he met with ceos just this past week talking about economic policy, what it would look like if trump were to god forbid win the election, and many of them made the comment on the nbc network that this guy was off the rails, they didn't understand what he was saying

nobody knows doc ronnie johnson because his name is ronnie jackson. us your reaction to this moment? he was trying to go after president biden's mental acuity and gets the guy's name wrong. >> he loves these iq tests. every time he's out there talking about them, like why are you talking about the iq test when you can't even look, i sound funny and i get it. i own that i sound funny but he doesn't always sound like the sharpest cookie there and i'm not running for president. i just a dumb political consultant. he wants to be president of the united states. and back to matthew's point, i think women in this election are probably coming to determine who actually is going to be the president, so he should be doing everything he can to look smart and women can see through a dumb man every day and twice on tuesday. >> those sharp cookies, they're not very tasty. gentlemen, thank you both for being here. you all know ronnie johnson, don't you? no. ronnie jackson. >> doesn't he play second base? didn't he play second base for the dodgers? >> he did. he defin

ronny johnson does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from texas? he was the white house doctor. and he said i was the healthiest president. he feels in history. so i liked him very much so he called them ronnie johnson, jackson not the biggest mistake in the role, but of course, he was talking about in the context of a cognitive test that he aced and job i can do, then it calls him ronnie johnson that's goes to the point of setting the bar very low. >> that biden may have to step over that bar, right? >> and if that happens during the debate, no doubt the president will try and point that out to everyone within ten minutes of the debate ending. it will be a campaign ad the biden campaign has started to hit back against this perception that the president isn't fit mentally to serve by highlighting all of these gaps that trump's makes on the campaign trail in that meeting with congressional leaders. the other de, he he said that milwaukee was a horrible city quickly people came out and basically said, well, he was talking about the crime rate, et cet

doc ronnie, doc ronny johnson, does everyone know ronny johnson, congressman from texas?the white house doctor. >> jimmy: yeah, his name is ronny jackson. it's not ronny johnson. it's jackson. if that was another cognitive test, you failed! and of course, no trump speech would be complete without an extended riff on a subject that is at the very top on the list of issues voters care about most. >> today you read where they don't want to have any water in your dishwasher. so your dishwasher won't work, and they think that's good. so what you do is you keep having it go on and on and on. the electric bill is ten times more than the water. and these are areas that have so much water, they don't know what to do with it. they're flooding. >> jimmy: not only is this nonsense, when do you think the last time trump loaded a dishwasher? maybe never? [ applause ] >> the shower where the water doesn't come out of the shower head? they put a restricter on. i took all the restricters off. i took them off. >> jimmy: what a rebel. what a riot. i mean, this man has done more for water pr

they don't know ronnie johnson. >> who is ronnie johnson? >> nothing like mocking your opponent -- >> there is a randy johnson. >> -- mental acuity when messing up the doctor who administered your test who is sitting in the audience. >> person, man, woman, horse, ronnie johnson. >> the name of trump's former white house position turned u.s. congressman is ronny jackson. >> wait, what? >> not johnson. >> what? >>> good morning. welcome to "morning joe." >> that's confusing. >> monday, june 17th. what else is new, right? with us, we have nbc news national affairs analyst and a partner and chief political analyst at puck, john heilemann. pulitzer prize winning writer and analyst eugene robinson. peter baker. symone sanders townsend. thanks to all of you being in early on monday morning. >> john heilemann. >> right. >> i'm new at this politics thing, but i'm guessing if you're going to make fun of your opponent for being cognitively disconnected from facts and figures, it's probably good for you to not be disconnected cognitively from facts and

doc ronnie johnson, does everyone no dock ronnie johnson, congressman from texas. >> ronnie johnson ismembers of congress. it's ronnie jackson. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you. brendan, we've heard both president biden and former president trump get these names mixed up from time to time, but never anything like mixing up a name right in the middle of bragging about acing your own cognitive test. what did you make of it? >> not terribly smooth. look, i don't think this is a debate that the biden camp wants to have. they're latching on to every little thing that donald trump says that seems out of place. first of all, i don't attribute this to cognitive decline. donald trump has always been like this, as long as he's been around. he says weird things and says things that don't make any sense. that's just kind of who he is. i will tell you, i don't think there is a real debate. if you look at who has slowed more over the last four years, it's clearly joe biden. it's not just my opinion. that's clearly showing up in poll after poll after poll. i understand they want to push back on that. i

ronny johnson. has everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from texas? he was the white house dr and he said i was the healthiest president he feels in history. so i liked him very much. >> okay, that's just one example. let me just play a few more and give you both a chance to respond. here's trump did. you just see maduro venezuela it's unbelievable. >> we are a nation that just recently heard that saudi arabia and russia we'll repeat will be reducing is a man viktor orban did anyone ever hear of him is probably one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world and he is the leader of, right. >> he's the leader of a turkey. >> nikki haley you know, they do you know they destroyed all of the intravasate, all of the evidence, everything deleted a destroyed all of it. all of it because of lots of things like nikki haley is in charge of security obviously, my now nancy pelosi there and viktor orban, of course, is the leader of hungry. so david does any of that give you pause no,. listen that's hundreds. i don't know how many hundreds of hours of videotape

ronnie johnson. does everyone know doc ronnie johnson? >> i love doc ronnie johnson. he gave me a beautiful test and i went home to my test malaria. >> it's like walking into a glass door after the doctor says you have 20/20 vision. >> here is the problem. the sad thing is under maga law, his name is now ronnie johnson! >> oh, my. okay. the late night is having fun with donald trump's latest gaffe. the white house is slamming chief fake videos spread by right wring media which are edited to make president biden look confused. we will go against the fight of clips some edited and misleading. >> played a clip from fox news taking people to task for doing just that. >> yes. he did, he did. he had guests on that were completely misleading again but it was a good try. >> he did it, nonetheless. it's very important for people that are being fed a steady stream of lies to be cold by somebody that reviews of media, this is a lie. you're being -- you know, howie said what i've always thought, which is, you know, the age issue for both of these candidates, that is a real issue.

doc ronnie johnson. anybody know him, the congressman from texas?the white house doctor. >> a stunning new revelation former trump white house communications director alyssa fair-griffin says former trump talked about executing people. bill barr was asked when he remembered a time that trump called for a leaker to be executed. take a look. >> griffin who was trump's communication director posted yesterday and said that you were present a at a moment when trump suggested executing the person who leaked information that he went to the white house bunker when george floyd protests were happening outside of the white house. do you remember that? >> i remember him being very mad about that. i actually don't remember him saying executing but, you know, i wouldn't dispute it, you know? i mean, it doesn't sound -- the president would lose his temper and say things like that. i doubt that he would have actually carried it out. you know? >> but he would say that on other occasions? >> the president -- i think people sometimes took him too literally and he wou

everyone know ronny johnson, congressman from texas?e white house doctor, and he said i was the healthiest president he feels in history. so, i liked him very much. immediately. >> seth: bragging about acing a cognitive test while forgetting the name of the doctor who gave it to you is like writing on a rÉsumÉ you speak three languages and misspelling the word languages. [ laughter ] in that same speech, you can see trump's brain glitch, and rather than just stop and reset like a normal person, he tries to recover by randomly pointing to someone in the crowd. >> but the american people were far better off under a president named president donald j. trump. have you heard of him? have you heard of him? [ cheers and applause ] and in particular -- oh, and remember this? oh, wait a minute. mike lindell, please stand up, okay? >> seth: first of all, credit where credit's due. he did get donald j. trump's name right. [ light laughter ] we give him a hard time, but he nailed that. second of all, nice save, dude. when in doubt, just scream the

ronny johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson county? whereas been from texas he was the white house doctor and he said i was the healthiest president. he feels in history yeah that would be runny jackson. >> cnn's eva mackinder was there when trump took the stage in detroit former president donald trump telling a very enthusiastic crowds that he's confident he can win michigan in november as he did in 2016. >> he said, if reelected, he will aggressed inflation, stand up to china and other nations and touted his plan for a magazine omics out of horse is a direct blow. to bidenomics most consequentially go this time. he's telling michigan voters that they should come up with a plan to vote whether that is voting early by mail or on election day. and that of course is the departure from 2020 where he really can't now on early. and mail voting an indication that he's being more disciplined about this message and not trying to leave any votes on the table the former president also spending his time at a historically black church here in detr

ronny johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressman from texas? he was the white house and he said i was the healthiest president. he feels in history meantime, president joe biden's campaign says it raised 28 million at a hollywood fundraiser in los angeles on saturday. >> i record amount for democrats at a single fundraiser. style that advantage was attended by former prison barak obama and late-night host jimmy kimmel, among others, who want audiences that former president donald trump is a threat to democracy actors, george clooney and julia roberts were also there it comes as mr. biden and trump have agreed to accept the rules of the first presidential debate to be hosted by cnn on june 27. >> will these include muted microphones throughout the debate, except when it's the candidates turn to speak. no props or pre-written notes on stage, and both have also agreed to appear at a uniform podium and their physicians will be determined by a coin flip. they will also be no studio audience new developments this hour in the israel-hamas war, the isr

ronny johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from taxes? he was white now dr and he said i was the healthiest president. he feels that history, so i like him very much obviously talking about texas congressman dr. ronny jackson. >> but but within the issue of cognition and cognitive ability that it's been brought up with trump. and in some cases with biden as well, how do vote? voters feel about a particular issue? >> yeah, they've, they feel that both of these guys are too old, you know, a lot of the commentary has so far been on biden's age being too old. but the fact is according to the voters, both of these guys are too old. yes, a higher percentage believed that biden is too old to be president than trump you see on your screen there 79% billy biden's too old to be president. but the fact fact of the matter is 54% majority believed trump is too old, too so voters would be very happy if we had to completely new guys. but the fact is they are stuck with two guys that de, the majority at least feel are too old well, harry, look, i love wh

former white house doctor ronny jackson, now a congressman from texas, was confused with a certain ronnie johnsone named. doc’s mistake, of course, is not god knows what, but for cnn and other democratic media, this is now almost the main news, they say, trump too. senility and dementia, actors josh clooney and julia roberts launched their star-studded campaign for biden on saturday night. i think everyone is interested in what we can do with it, choose me again. i want joe, you were the worst at school. only one microphone works, no cheat sheets or tips, and two commercial breaks. these are the rules of the first debate of the 2024 presidential election. between president biden and former president trump. cnn, where the debate will take place, is publishing details of the upcoming event and the rules that both candidates have adopted. the campaign cannot interact with either biden or trump. in the hall too. there will be no spectators, and after the answer to the question ends, they turn off your microphone, they want it to be an exciting spectacle, they turn off the microphone so that you canno

doc ronny johnson, does everyone know ronny johnson, congres

ronny johnson when it was dr. t's where we are right now. >> trump says it's johnson. >> dr. johnson, yes. where this thursday, i know there's so much focus and polls suggest, fair or not, that americans have more questions about joe biden's mental fitness for office than they do donald trump, even though biden has repeatedly answered the call, and most would arc. >> right. >> had a pretty solid presidential record. there's danger here for trump on thursday, too. we've charted on this show his potential decline. we have seen the pace of his missteps grow and grow and grow. there's a real chance that he's the one who melts down on thursday, not president biden. president biden, mind you, preparing at camp david for a solid week here for this debate while donald trump is out there talking about sharks and such and migrant fighting rings on the campaign drill. >> drip, drip. >> get it right. washing machines. >> i like a lather. i like a good lather. >> he's very big. >> a good lather. >> we've got reverend al sharpto

doc ronny...doc ronny johnson... it was doc ronny jackson who gave him that cognitive test.e to disseminate trump�*s verbal slips and more bizarre statements. if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, i�*ll take electrocution every single time. # start me up. # if you start me up, i�*ll never stop.#. the rolling stones don�*t stop. currently touring america, they�*re also in their 80s — just about as old as the candidates. their age has not withered fans�* enthusiasm outside the gig in philadelphia, but many are worried president biden is too old for another term. i think we just do need some new candidates, some young candidates. nobody talks about his policies or what he's doing. theyjust talk about the fact that he's walking around confused half the time. that's why they call him sleepyjoe. he's too old. but donald trump is only four years younger. if you look at the two, i there's no comparison. so donald trump may be as old, but he's not...he doesn't- act as old, he doesn't act as feeble. - he's...it'sjust i different, i think. his agility is not a 27—year—old kid.

ronny johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from taxes he was the white house doctor and he said i was the healthiest president he feels in history. so i liked him very much. >> so obviously talking about cars been ronny jackson now. but the point in this, julie is that one can democrats make the case that trump is too old for office? or is this cognitive ability age argument just really a trap for both sides at this point we are running against a convicted felon we are running against somebody who is so unhinged that there is not enough time in this segment are probably for the next 24 hours and check up everything that he said that his shattered every single norm we've seen in this country? >> and so ultimately democrats e to focus on that look, nobody's to fight on donald trump's ground here. nobody needs to cede anything to him every time he opens his mouth, he proves himself unfit for office. this is not he's absolutely right because unlike any president, we've ever had in at

ronnie johnson and he's saying that they saw something going on. no evidence of jackson jackson said rodney jones exactly. and i'm gotten ronnie jones. so i don't think i think most voters, most americans can see that president biden is certainly not energetic all the time. there are times when it seems as if he is displaying signs of some mental decline. however, there's only one candidate in this race who would definitely was sleeping in the last six months and it was, it was former president donald trump reporters in the courtroom. he's done one fighting off those allegations. so i think there's a little bit of production going on there. >> yes, indeed. and we'll see there's also a prediction lines going on here. that allowed debate predictions. you can make, you can, of course, you can bet online, trump mentioned putin, 80% say yes, he will biden closing his eyes for three plus seconds, 39% say yes, he will trump and biden, shake hands. 35, just 35% say yes, biden gets helped off the stage a quarter of people, according to poly market say yes,

ronny johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from texas?hite house doctor and he said i was the healthiest president. he feels in history as ronny jackson, nod to thompson my battles back. >> okay. what is your reaction to that? >> who among us i mean, look i make mistakes. >> i make mistakes. but you do it when you're ridiculing the cognitive the ability of your opponent that's different yeah. >> certainly a fair point but i do think honestly the biggest tests that we're going to see is this debate that's coming up, right? this is the earliest presidential debate, general election debate that we'd ever seen, at least in modern memory. so in terms of cognitive test or whatnot, the proof is really going to being how each candidate handles himself on the debate stage when they're contrasting ideas with against each other and seeing who performs the best so we'd have a true test coming up in the next week or so go ahead no, i broadly agree with that, but i mean, look, the entire the entire thing is preposterous, like the fact that you have don

ronny johnson does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressmen from taxes. he was the white house doctor and he said i was the healthiest president. he feels that history, so i liked him very much. >> the only problem is we all know it's not running it's running jackson. >> that's the name. >> doctor who did the investigation was pretty awkward. >> we offer get things sometimes, yes. president biden is older, is slowing down? yes. i think many people see that with their own eyes i'm not a medical professional, i'm not going to attempt to diagram can present number the name of floor that's my point. people forget what i think the message this campaign cycle should be on the issues that matter. >> this debate that's coming up and i'm happy there is an audience. people want to hear about how you're going to improve things for them. there are so many people in this country where there's young people, african americans poor white americans, other americans of color who do believe that there's this huge disconnect between a certain class as of americans are wealth

ronny johnson does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressman from texas? se doctor and he said i was the healthiest president he feels in history, so i liked him very much i mean, his name is obviously dr. ronny jackson. everyone remembers him from the white house briefings. he's now in congress and a big supporter of trump's, but a little bit like that is not treated the same as a biden, of course not. >> that's never going to play on fox news as donald trump being confused, having cognitive issues, it's just not going to be portrayed like that. i think what the biden folks take issue with as well as in their eyes, the mainstream media as well, focuses way too much on buttons age, and let's donald trump get off with these gaps without ever questioning his cognitive fitness. there was that wall street journal story that came out a week ago or two weeks ago, where that question of whether biden was fit mentally to run the country said that some of these there have been questions about this, but there have been a lot of former trump officials who have raised

white house doctor ronny jackson, and now a congressman from texas, he confused with a certain ronnie johnson he called a doctor, an oversight, of course, well, not a god, but for cnn everyone else, where is the media - this is now a little isn’t that the main news, they say , look at trump, and he has insanity and dementia, saving his own... daily confirms his mental shortcomings, the day before, at an event to raise money for his own company, biden froze again and could not literally find it on his own leaving the stage. this time barack obama played the role of george meloni; he grabbed biden by the hand and led him in the right direction. well , of course, more and more rumors are appearing. that there will be a replacement in the democratic team. this time, florida congresswoman anna polina luna said rumors are growing on capitalist hill that biden will probably not be the democratic nominee and will likely be replaced by someone else. as a guess, she mentioned the name of the governor of california. they said the debate would be held sitting down, that this will be a cleared room, there

scott perry and ronnie johnson jackson were appointed by speaker mike johnson last week despite pastith the fbi not to mention perry is a bona fide election denier who sought to overturn the 2020 election results. their appointments are already raising national security concerns. >> frank, i just think this is ridiculous. representative perry's attempts to overturn the election were well documented. we have live footage of the president and the first lady deplaning in france. we won't play any sound. the image we are seeing from the president, and commemorating reverence and highlighting world war ii troops today and the fight against authoritarianism across the world and at home. with what we have happening in the united states congress, some of the same folks that are thought to not just undermine but unravel key pieces of our democratic institutions and now being placed on the committees where america's secrets are held and discussed. >> this is a stark contrast to what we are seeing now with what we see happening on capitol hill with the intelligence community or committee. and w

. >> ronnie johnson, saying it twice, his doctor is ronnie jackson. debate is coming up on the 27th. the republicans are lowering expectations of what biden will deliver. it's like the dog that caught the car. you look at the state of the union speech. how do you justify it. donald trump is saying joe biden was using drugs in order to perform a good debate so when we take these clips and especially out of context, i think it does no service obviously to the american people but it's also setting up the republicans for failure. because this is what they're coming to expect when it's an echo chamber like this, just highlighting the gaffes, and meanwhile when you have an uninterrupted debate for 906 90 minutes you'll be able to see joe biden is alive, well, active and doing the job he's elected to do and we can point at the numbers as well. donald trump when he -- when covid took effect in the united states, he had no idea what to do. the economy was plummeting. cheryl: let's back up. i have to stop you. because we're not talking about 2020, i'm talking a

a couple weeks ago, he said his doctor ronnie johnson said he was cognitively perfect. but it is actually ronny jackson. somebody who cannot keep it straight. and i say the word rule because he says he wants to be a dictator through this populist xenophobic racist message. and that is what we have. somebody not policy specific and he will not surround himself with the best and brightest. we should be terrified going into a trump administration. >> let me follow up on that point to cohen for's question. tell us why in poll after poll, people think this man, donald trump is better on the economy than president biden who is bringing down inflation and bringing gas prices down and leveling up wages. >> going after corporate greed. making it easier for people to afford relationship with their banks and cutting back on fees. what is the disconnect quick not just with the ceos but average americans out there looking at this and saying, donald trump is better on the economy than this other guy biden? >> i'm going to scare all of you and get a little philosophical and i know this

didn't -- i saw on fox business earlier today talking to ronny jackson, his doctor, he called him ronnie johnsony. that's not his tame. -- name. it is not just one video at the ap which you can interpret whatever way you want, biden likes to stick around, take in applause. he's talking to a bunch of people, but it is example after example, the g7 example, him in france where they say, oh, he's sitting in an invisible chair. look at it from a different angle -- howard: that was a complete fabrication. but is -- >> it is manipulation. howard: but if the biden team pounds away at right-wing media can and says it's all their fault, can it make people discount any images where he looks a bit confused or frail? >> i think that's what they're attempting, and i don't think that's the right thing to do. first of all, to draw attention to all these videos -- howard: oh, yeah, millions of views. >> left-leaning advocates are doing side by sides, and i'm, like, if you think this is a good idea for people to watch this over and over again, feel free. if you look like chuck grassley on stage, we wouldn't be h

ronny johnson yeah. >> i mean, this is look, his brain is broken. difference is he does it more energetically and you know, the, what it's i think it's completely an unfair comparison, but right now, you know, joe biden looks a lot more low energy than donald trump, and that's donald trump's advantage. but these videos, i mean, they're blatant leinz, it used to be gen. back in the day. it would be kind of the dark corners of the internet that would put out these fake videos and then responsible people like members of congress in the senate or the rnc would say no, we're not going to do that. they're the ones pushing this now, there's whole joe biden wandering at normandy. all you had to do was pan out and see that he was talking. he he's doing exactly what i would've done as a military guy, which is go over and talk to them and not the other state leaders him at the fundraiser, if you actually zoom in on his face, he's very mobile. he's motion any smiling at people. he's not frozen. but we're going to see this for the next five months. so people jus

note that i want to ask you this question, trump said that biden is going to be on drugs and ronnie johnson trump, who name is ronny jackson, trump very mentally fit forgot the man's name. ronny jackson doubled down on that conspiracy theory saying he'll be cranked up on drugs. would you want to play that game if you were donald trump. would you want to take a drug test along joe biden if you were donald trump and beyond that question, what do you think is strategic imperative in this debate for joe biden? >> yeah, no, everything with donald trump is projection. and certainly with ronny jackson as well. they're not two people who should be suggesting drug testing for anybody. but let me start with mitch landrieu's comments. i was screaming into the wilderness when this happened but i don't think the debate should happen on thursday night. i think the day that donald trump got convicted the day he became an adjudicated criminal, the biden camp should have pulled out and say it is against the presidency to debate a criminal. it is too little too late for that. but we're seeing the normalizing

. >> does everyone know ronnie johnson, congressman from texas? i love doc ronnie.they ask it to you, they give you five names and you have to repeat them. sir, i'm going to give you six names, good, they look at him, a chair, a hat, a badge, a necklace. >> a light, a group of people, ohio. >> a giraffe, a tiger, a this, a that. a whale. which one is the whale? person, woman, man, camera tv. they say that's amazing. how did you do that? >> i aced it twice. i aced it. >> i aced both of them. >> aced it. >> i aced it, every question right. >> claire, eddie and tim and andrew are back. i don't love covering this, but trump is forcing the issue. let me just say this about the test he's taking. it's like a sober person take the dui test, right? he shouldn't be bragging about acing the screen for dementia unless he's aware of something that he's trying to keep from his supporters. what do we make of this? what do we think of this? how do we cover this? what are your thoughts, eddie glaude? >> i've been trying to process it from the last segment to now. we know who this gu

and at the 11th hour, to suddenly have ronny johnson come out, a man who can't even remember his owne, coming out saying joe biden needs to be tested, again, just shows how badly they're playing all of this. >> the arguments are bad faith and bad politics. i mean, it's such pathetic efforts here to spin these unfounded conspiracy theories about drug tests and the like and by doing so trying to set up an escape hatch for your own candidate who has real concerns. donald trump is only a few years younger than joe biden. donald trump has also not done any debates this whole primary season. he's going to be rusty. usually that's the problem for an incumbent. >> but hold on a second, jonathan. he did get joan rivers' vote. in fact, joan rivers told him specifically, he said, that she voted for him. so he has that -- i mean, she had passed a few years before, but, still, he says -- he remembers joan rivers telling him personally that, and you take one gaffe after the other, the world war ii gaffe. he doesn't even know it's over. he thinks he's running against barack obama. he talks about ho

[cheers and applause] >> desi: welcome back to "the daily show"! by now we are all familiar with nathan wade, the special prosecutor on the trumpet election interference case. he had to step down when it was revealed he had a secret relationship with the district attorney fani willis. >> ronny: lots of people have been wondering how they could be so reckless with such an important trial. we had our friend marlon wayans sent his friend kwan to sit down with nathan wade and figure out what t

is this a good idea to been having this debate about his immediate call, ronny jackson already johnson. yeah. i mean, like i would prefer not to focus on this is the president odes 81 course. >> the most people know what they look at it with their own eyes, shore. but i got to be honest, manu i pray to god that if i get 81-years-old, i can still do what i love. and i think most of us at this table would probably agree with that. i think this election is going to be about those kitchen table issues. the economy, immigration, foreign policy those are the issues were i would preference for republicans to focus on because i do think we actually have an advantage on the things that really impact people's lives not age. let's just pray we get to be at one. yeah. but look age is obviously an issue for a lot of owners aid is the biden campaign doing enough to quell concerns about his age and fitness for office. >> i mean, i would just say those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. and i think donald trump think my three years younger isn't that is not all the sudden and youthful. a

today speaker johnson appointed scott perry and ronnie jackson to the two open seat on that committee. when i say this decision fly ins the face of the rule of law, it is not only because perry and jackson are big time election deniers. they most certainly are. but there are also all of the individual actions these two particular congressmen have taken that demonstrate just how little respect they have for the rule of law and for the institution of democracy on whole. congressman scott perry had a very significant role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. he was the congressman who tried to get mark meadows to investigate the conspiracy theory that italian satellites were swapping out biden votes for trump votes. he met with mark meadows before he literally set fire to papers in his office. an effort to get president trump to appoint the very malleable mr. clark as attorney general. and to steal the 2020 election. trump ultimately did appoint jeffrey clark to serve for one hot second by the way, we know that now. congressman perry was also one of the people president trump ta

house speaker mike johnson elevating two more election tonight republicans, scott parry and former trump white house physician ronnieon the hugely influential and powerful house intelligence committee. johnson skipped over several republicans members who had experience in the intelligence community and johnson apparently line side of the chairman, mike turner with his picks. according to reporting by msnbc, speaker johnson is telling people he made those appointments expressly because donald trump wanted him to. now., man at the center of the trump fake collectors coup plot is basically vowing to be the maga sentries saying he will conduct oversight over the deep state for a change. joining his congressman eric swalwell and jamaal bowman. great to have you here. let me start with you because you served on that committee until republicans kicked you off. how unusual is a free speaker to appoint and not tell the chair of that committee? >> never seen it happen. it is so disrespectful. the committee, you meet three floors below the capitol, there's no cell phones. staff is not allowed in and there's collegiality becaus

today speaker johnson appointed far-right congressman scott perry and far-right congressman ronny jackson to the two open on seats on that committee. and when i say this decision flies in the face of the rule of law it is not only because both perry and jackson are big time election deniers, they most certainly are. but there are also the individual actions these two particular congressmen have taken that demonstrate just how little respect they have for the rule of law and for the institution of democracy on whole. congressman scott perry had a very significant role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. he was the congressman who tried to get trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, to investigate the conspiracy theory that italian satellites were swapping out trump votes for biden votes. he was the congressman who met with mark meadows right before mark meadows literally set fire to papers in the white house office. he was the congressman who introduced an obscure justice department employee named jeffrey clark to president trump in an effort to get president trump to appoint the v
