welcome to the beat: weekend. i m ari melber. let s get to the headlines. we begin with breaking news today out of the spring court and is feeling concerns about the increasing partisanship, credibility crises, and corruption on display in this court. let me tell you what s going on. conservatives now reversing one of the only measures for gun safety that was actually passed and the recent era, and again you can put all politics to the side, as a measure of how extreme the support supreme court is today with his ruling. this was one of the things that got through the broken, hyper partisan washington we hear so much about. it even had centrists and moderate and republican support to try to deal with one part of our gun crisis in america. today the court reversed a ban on something called bump stocks . and the opinion was 6-3 meaning the conservatives and all three trump justices are making it easier to get deadly weapons in america. the other three justices from democratic
second term agenda. we have great common sense and a lot of smart people in this room in the lobby of that love our country beyond just about all else. john: a big afternoon we are back, hello i am john roberts in washington. this is one of those thursdays, sandra. we have a lot of energy from the news. sandra: you have to keep watching you never know. i m sandra smith in new york this is america reports great to be with you, john. president biden back on the world stage with his foreign policy agenda in full focus but also marking the first time he is facing reporters since his son became a convicted felon. sandra: mike john: fox team coverage starting now martha maccallum with analysis. sandra: but starting with peter doocy on the white house north one of the president s remarks, peter. white house officials with all this talk about ukraine at g7 they want the world to know they have given ukraine the okay to use u.s. weapons against russian targets inside r
good day to you. i m peter alexander in for andrea mitchell. president biden is a few hours away from landing in italy for a g7 summit with some of america s biggest allies. ukraine presses the west for more aid and pressure mounts on israel and hamas to end the war in gaza. the secretary of state delivering the first comments on the response by hamas to the latest cease-fire proposal saying in qatar, it s time for the haggling to stop. hamas proposed numerous changes to the proposal that was on the table. some of the changes are workable. some are not. if one side continues to change its demands, including making demands and insisting on changes for things that it accepted, you have to question whether they are proceeding in good faith or not. i believe the gaps are bridgeable. doesn t mean they will be bridged. president biden departed for the g7 summit with world leaders this morning after quickly rearranging his travel to be by his son s side last night. that vis
biden s conviction. can republicans, voters, and trump himself explain away how a justice system they say has been weaponized by biden convicted the president the s own sun. it took an effort of herculean proportions clearing 50,000 tons of steel from 500 feet of water in less than three months after the key bridge collapse in baltimore. how soon can they start the next massive undertaking rebuilding the bridge itself? transportation secretary pete buttigieg joins me to discuss it in just a few minutes. and how old is too old to be in office? north dakota voters taking a shot at actually putting a number on it, 81. keep in mind, if they had their way at least a dozen and a half congressional lawmakers would be gone. could this new political push have legs? but we start with the hunter biden verdict causing some confusion in the republican ranks and sucking the air out of donald trump s claims that he s been singled out, targeted by a weaponized justice system. as the n
criminal charges against trump. that is how you think when you are in a cult. that is how you think when you re in a cult. well put. you know, we hear about situational ethics, in the case of republicans, it s situational patriotism. they love the justice department when their opponents are being prosecuted. they love american democracy when their when their candidates win. but if they lose elections, suddenly, they hate american democracy and they think it s corrupt. if donald trump is convicted of crimes, of felonies 34 times, suddenly they hate the justice system. but if it goes the other way for them, situationally, it s okay. such hypocrisy. so is it biden s justice department being weaponized by biden or is it not? yeah. this lays bare everything we ve been saying on this show for many, many years now about the hypocrisy. i mean, when you look at the disappointment, frankly, for many republicans about the outcome of this trial, they wanted to be able to say
