the couple meeting while at yale law school. as we await his speech, we're a following breaking news involving president biden tonight. the white house has confirmed that the president has tested positive for covid while in the battleground of nevada. the images of the president moving very slowly up those stairs to air force one. the president just before boarding giving a wave saying he feels good. but all of this comes amid new questions tonight about whether president biden will stay in this race. another key voice, democratic congressman adam schiff, a strong ally of the president now calling on him to withdraw from the race, saying he's been one of the most consequential presidents in the nation's history but saying he has serious concerns as to whether he can defeat donald trump in november. here in milwaukee, we're looking live at the floor. donald trump's oldest son, john jr., will be coming out with his daughter kai. they added her to the schedule after what happened on saturday night in butler, pennsylvania. the image

and then to yale. he thrives at yale. from yale a really successful businessman. senator.-- >> could it happen anywhere else but america? >> it's a great country where a young man from humble, humble surroundings like that can be i think the next vice-president of the greatest nation in history, and it's -- again, a testament to president trump that he sees that. he sees what you saw in the interview. that 30-minute interview that went so well. he sees that and this is why this ticket and this place is so energized. and you add that to what happened saturday where president trump, that triple fist bump after this assassin tried to take out a great man, a great president, and the energy, the american people can feel it and they know change is coming. back to the good days when president trump was in office before. >> sean: what really struck me once i got over the shock that i first thought -- i thought they killed him. that was my first thought. and i've known him 30 years. we both have personal relationships with him and a professional relationship, and i thought they kil

i mean, you mentioned the yale school a yale law graduate, also a buckeye, which i don't hold that against him because i went to the rural oklahoma state osu but i i think we all make decisions based on two things. the way are raising our life experiences he doesn't really set on the committees that have jurisdiction over this security posture. we have in the middle east or in europe. and so when you start getting reports on your desk and you're getting briefings on your desk you get a different insight to it and i know he has the ability to change. i know it has the ability to absorb knowledge and make decisions based on what's in front of him because you saw the way he changed his direction towards president trump, right so he will he will adapt to his new role and be the leader that he needs to be. and i'm confident on that that's interesting and not a perspective that i'd heard before when it came to his view of the more sort of isolationists america first view of trump foreign policy. >> i do want to ask you though about the first night of the rnc. were you surprised that sean o'brien

to talk about the shift, the man who received that message from jd vance, josh mclaurin is vance's yalemmate, now a democratic state senator in georgia ai thank you very much for joining us. sir. now i have to say my immediate thought in reading all of this is that maybe never put anything in a text message probably better safer if you will. >> but can you just tell us a little bit about what it was like to be jd vance's roommate in law school, obviously yale law school is full of ambitious people who i'm like yourself. you're now a politician. he of course. now the vice presidential nominee. what have you seen in terms of his evolution and the evolution of your friendship, which i assume is something that no longer is on the table well, thank you, kasie, glad to join you this morning. yeah. i mean, we're not friends. we haven't spoken since 2016 at the time. i still had hope that he might be a different type of voice for the republican party. in politics, you often hear people act like there's nothing good about their opponent. i will acknowledge that jd is a smart guy who's good with

frank bruni that is-- frank: that is.he is a psychiatrist at yale. observation is that your brain on grievance is a lot like and that you can become to feeling aggrieved, sense. one o is that way people behave on social media. posts are the ones that go viral. people develop the biggest followings byaving a particularly impassioned viewpot thby communicating and exploiting anger and that is bound together withimll writes about. peter:t early 1990's isetitiotrophy politicians are playing up to grievances, are they? frank: [laughter] that is a rhetorical question, is not it? absolutely. you see politicians today who are so different from before. i talk a lot in the book about ron desantis. right now he is vies a not get what he tried mo presidential nomination but anyway you cu it, he is a political success , the second term governor of the third most populous state in the country. he won it by a larhis around whom he willt revenge on come on your behalf, how he will take them down and make them suffer. in a country that used to be about the mo winning

yale is a college, princeton. the electoral college is all about slavery because without electoral college, the north would win every time because the south can't count it slaves. they don't vote but with electoral college they count albeit the discount and eight of the nine are one-way slaveholding virginians. you have to see the whole thing and judges don't because the cases are litigated by clause and you have to state the whole thing. the constitution as a whole. who might that be. so it's about a lot of things. but a correct understanding with lots of provisions. that's another one. the trade from the caribbean and just so. >> i was going to add there's another provision that says you can't tax experts. what's that doing their? the point is some exported and some didn't. there was a great deal of anxiety how it was going to be treated in the union and so although the deal wasn't persuaded by germany and france analogy, i think all of you should be not because i am talking about that as original as him, but be

vance later deployed to iraq while in the marines and on to yale law school and a business career beforeing to the senate in 2022. a source familiar with vance's remarks tonight say he'll connect his life experiences to campaign issues like the impact of inflation, trade, and the fentanyl crisis. a former trump critic -- >> i'm a never trump guy. i never liked him. >> reporter: -- vance evolved into an outspoken trump supporter. now seen as the heir to the maga mantle. on policy, he's a leading gop voice against funding ukraine in its war with russia and he's backed former president trump's election fraud lies, suggesting if he were vice president, he would not have certified the 2020 election, downplaying the january 6th attack. >> i'm extremely skeptical that mike pence's life was ever in danger. >> reporter: and in 2021 suggesting sweeping changes that would install more loyalists in the federal government. >> fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people. >> reporter: vance now officially on the gop ticket and in

s background, his pedigree at yale.enator vance represents not just the forgotten man and for gotten woman and forgotten child. he represents a ton. millions of americans who didn't care for donald trump. when he first ran. who didn't believe he could win or that he could govern. and i felt like his interview last night with our sean hannity revealed that i felt there was a certain humility, certain explanation of policies and results are the best way to explain the trump presidency, the trump candidacy. i was struck by president trump commenting on a different network how do you plan to use j.d. vance he said i'm going to leave him in pennsylvania. statistically if president trump leaves georgia, north carolina that's over. that gets him to 270 if he protects everything else. joe biden is struggling in the more states of wisconsin, michigan and whatnot. that's fascinating alone that a gentleman from ohio can help the president seal pennsylvania if, of course, it's biden harris. >> ainsley: i saw you at the arena. saw t

and the final inconsistency, he is loved at yale. he belongs with the senators like ted cruz who went to princeton and harvard. yeah. harvard and harvard. and desantis to went to yale in harvard. they are the elite of the elite. it is harvard for them. >> you are part of the elite at that point when you roll with peter teal. you are no longer part of the base. let me ask you this, molly, there was an interesting part to two things that came out of the rnc. trump officially saying he will not accept the election results of 2024. if he loses we will not let them cheat. and jd vance has t publicly sai he would not have done what mike pence said january 6th. he would have supported donald trump's attempt to overturn our democracy. >> yeah. i mean i think he is picked because he embraces the explosive rhetoric of donald trump. junior played a hand in this too. he is a representative of tech billion nears. he is very close with that. >> as pete buttigieg said on eg bill maher. he says he likes him because he does things for peter teal. for
