hello everyone i am charlie hurtone and griffin jenkins.f welcome to the big weekendje sh. the big story tonight, age mayau be just a number by dense 81st birthday tomorrow has many in himanys own party and votersd vo concerned about his mental and physical fitness ahead of 2024. tonight the "washington post" is out with"was a new exposé aboute panic within the party.at doubling down biden is in i trouble ahead of 2024. lucas tomlinson's live at the white house with more, lucas?th as in vinelande on a short tim. to go out safe to say there's no surprise 81st birthday for him today. the clock stripes 12 probably not tomorrow either with all focus on the turkey pardon they just shot a wild turkey for theh staff here is what david axelrod told the "new york times" aboutt president bidehen quote i thinks has a 50/50 shot here but no better than that.at maybe a little worse. he thanks he can cheat nature here and it is really risky. we've got a real problem if they are counting on trump to win ito for them.g a memember hilary doing that to. it's an interesting point in 2007 the air out pole after show barack obama was going to lose to rudy giuliani barack obama was going to lose to mitt mit romney. head to head polls frankly don't say much aad-ttt all. >> a recent article in politico by jonathan martin titled here's how biden can turn it around top help democrats agree theen president needs morene aggressiveness more help frome his friends and a few more friends frs. and mitt romney can help. the present has set issues with axelrod in the past. the piece warns quote calling rhymes with stick as a person who has heard biden when 270 electoral votes. therthere's a new nbc poll out y shows that 88 years old soon to be 81 by the way tonight at thet stroke of midnight not having the necessary mental and phy physical health to be present for second term, 59% say that'st isa major concern.ftee 15% the moderate concerned whatever thacot means.n an 12% of minor concern 14% say it is no real concern.n. by the weight that poll showssh biden with the lowest approval rating of his presidency. exhibit 80 years to prepare for i hope it's a great party tonight or tomorrow thank youca s.lucas. >> 81 tomorrow? it's his 81st they have had only eight years to prepare for it. dr. saphier explained this for us. at this age she's going to be 86. another term. what are the problems? what could go wrong here? >> anything can go wrong with any single person any day of the week. but congruent congratulations are in order happy birthday mr. present he doesn't look a day over 81. but that being said age is just a number put that one pole lucas mentioned is one of the many voters are saying they think president biden may be too old for there was another one about 71% thought he was too old. it would be one thing if it was just a number but we see his performance from see that gas, his forgetting, calling out on people who are not in the room. he has some physical health issue has sleep apnea, it does not submit a cognitive mental exam but again he's out the pillar of vitality by any stretch of the imagination but a lot of voters can see past that they were prosperous in their home at their neighborhoods were safe and there is not chaos of the southern border. one of the other polls also shows voters across all income levels say biden politics have heard them personally work trumps of help them. it's not just his age but is not his physical and mental performance of his policies too. the average age of retirement here in the united states a 64. maybe it's time for the president to go to delaware. >> can i say something about that question back at such a good point but every politician can change any policy they want. every politician can undo any gaffe they made and joe used to be known for gaps but you cannot change her age and you cannot change mental decline. that is what he cannot do and his staff can't do. >> it's hard to imagine it getting better from here at this point. >> you would like to think it could it get worse. [laughter] but please don't dare anybody. [laughter] will figure out a way to make it work for. >> is sure will. david axelrod quote is something though. talk about shots fired saint jo biden has a 50/50 chance of winning may be worse. what's interesting is even though obama picked obama as his vp he is on it any confidence in him as a presidential candidate there are reports in 2016 pushed him out of the way of course he is infamous quote don't underestimate joe biden's ability to f things out. we learn that lesson the hard way it is all messed up. his trump looking at the "new york times" poll showing trouble winning in five out of six swing states now trailing with black men, young voters, independent voters, the list goes on. however it my big concern caveat is because joe biden is looking so weak i'm worried about what they're going to try to do with the trump with these court cases are they going to ramp it up? are they going to try to keep them in the court to the general election take up his monies wass not spending or? what's it like 30 doing that. >> are entering emptying him already. respond to this quote they are having trouble in the "washington post" is talking about this for the bad news is everybody is wetting the bed inside abided world. it's an unhappy confluence of biden world donors, cocktail party friends saint can you get him not to run? which is stupid and absurd if you know joe biden. cook's charlie is always depends. [laughter] especially at 81. that would be my suggestion. they are running out of time to try to get joe biden out of the way. clearly i think that is the desire of the party. then you've got the vice president problem who is the most unpopular vice president and i think modern history. then there's two people you have to push out of the way. i don't know maybe they'll try to do some tomfoolery at the convention or something like that. they are running out of time. quick so be difficult if you wait until the convention and charlie you know this matters you're going to miss all these deadlines to be on ballots. you it is significantly handicapped whatever younger democrat you were going to give an opportunity. that is why axelrod is being outspoken. saint do it now. >> is going to be very difficult. not the depends. the only person who polls less favorable than biden s, harrison. they have a big problem on their hands. with student loans and stuff like this to go after young voters but the nbc poll shows a trump losing or biden losing to truck by four points among voters 18 -- 34. listen to it they freak out on nbc news. >> some real stunning highlights here in this pulpit. >> donald trump we have a 46%. biden 44. >> this is significant it is the first time in the history of our poll that former president trump pizza president biden. >> 50 points underwater with the youngest group of voters. >> all the student loan forgiveness was for naught? it's not working out he needs to find more money to give them? >> can i have more money? >> apparently not. the thing that is significant about this we are talking about the aging. it has to be incredibly frustrating for joe biden. donald trump is just three years younger and not suffering the same visual mental decline or even the aging process in the same way. in the court cases lisa brought up if you paint the contrast on one side joe biden i was just in wisconsin i saw the fragility of him to come out and give a speech produce reading a prompter and he goes to trumps in texas getting endorsed by abbot parties fired up on the border which is at issue that's going to significantly hurt biden's administration because the border is a dumpster fire. you got to contrast the guy fighting judges and local courtrooms he's doing the big rallies still. he is out there in the border. and there is a clock ticking on how long a staff can protect them. you have got 500 people writing a letter citing a letter your bosses are nor or northbound isw about one staffer and this white house it sees what we see on the white house press corps science in up sign your name to something and say he's got to go. >> points add complacency is the devil in politics we are so far out from the general election i don't want any one to think this that we've been burned in the past three election cycles include the off year democrats appended the process during covid it's a totally different ball gaballgame prehistorical ne no longer relevant no one can get complacent per quick as you pointed out doctor sapper at the end of the day it is going to come down to these issues i think. people feel how they feel personally about their own issues. coming up covid confessions for the "new york times" finally comes clean about the hazardous effects of school at lockdowns. the most notable admission couldn't leave parents everywhere speechless. that is next. - [speaker] at first, just leaving the house was hard. - [speaker] but wounded warrior project helps you realize it's possible to get out there - [speaker] to feel sense of camaraderie again. - [speaker] to find the tools to live life better. - [narrator] through generous community support, we've connected warriors and their families with no cost physical and mental health services, legislative advocacy, career assistance, and life skill training for 20 years, and we are just getting started.

(inspirational music) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ welcome back to the big weekend show. the "new york times" is finally admitting but we knew all along. in school closures were detrimental to kids. a quite a turn of events from this. >> we have an obligation to make remote better because until we can really decrease community spread throughout the united states, distance learning and distance working is going to be a fact of life. >> schools are not impervious to all that is going on in the outside. they are closing and now because what the city said and frankly what lots of other places are also assaying is a huge skyrocketing increase. >> the bottom line is this. if we had actually listen to doctor redfield and the cdc last may and the former president had not kept on changing his mind and changing these things we would have gotten more schools back in session for chris martha is the best in those reactions. the "new york times" op-ed titled the startling evidence on learning loss is in and it reads in part quote the evidence is in now or the evidence is now and it startling. the school closures it took 50 million children out of classrooms at the start of the pandemic may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of american education. it also set student progress in math and reading back by two decades and why did the achievement gap that separates poor and wealthy children. nicole, i've got to start with you on this one we were warning people. covid was never statistically a big risk to kids if they shut the school zone anyways, why? >> there are very few people in this world i have a very negative visceral reaction to an ac, brandywine garden is absolutely one of those people. that woman has upended all of our children's lives to such a massive consequence i can't believe she still has a platform but i digress we could spend the entire show talk with the pillars of covid the suppression of lab leak theories, lockdown, loss of free speech, free will and now also keeping kids out of school prolonged absence and the remote learning. mental health is up if chronic absenteeism up for kids are still not going back as we have math and english scores down, graduation rates are down. they don't actually care there is no urgency for accountability or anything when it comes to this for their given $190 million by congress during covid. beginning of 2023 an average of 50% of that money was used by the schools. only 20% of that money was even allocated for learning loss of our children. you do you know what they did spend $20 million on? they don't take it serious and we have an entire generation of kids who do have the social skills, the academics to become functioning members of society's to be able to earn wages it's not just going to be these kids suffering it's our entire society. shame on them. >> amen. let's take a litt it a little fr into the "new york times" editorial. these challenges have been compounded by an epidemic of absenteeism. the those who missed 10% or more of days in the school you're in absenteeism translate into gaps and learniin learning per charls also this quote that was alarming to me and says this it generation of students will experience diminished lifetime earnings and become significant drag on the economy. and they did this to them the politicians did this to our children. >> absolutely. if you talk to anybody hiring young people today they will tell you that one of the biggest challenges is hiring people are going to come to work. they are so used to -- the bent of the expense of doing school remotely. and as you point out it also leads to all of the obvious pros with testing and stuff. but also an explosion of anxiety and inability to work through problems you learn by navigating the school day as uncomfortable as that may be. there is a point to it. you learn things from it. as you point out all this could have been predicted and was predicted in real time as we went through it. but the most disturbing part of it is what you said about children from poor families are the ones hurt the worst by this. because education is one of the greatest hopes for them to reach their full stature in the economy. >> griff, we have had parents on this network morning saying don't do this, don't do this, what about her kids let's listen then i want to hear from you. >> sending 20% of healthy children home to learn from an ipad is not acceptable to me pickwick students graduating's not made in the basic benchmarks there's two years of learning loss nobody can deny it not even the teachers unions at this point. >> he got >> in the face when we went to these school boards and begged them, please reopen our schools but our kids are struggling and they said we don't care. >> i'm glad you played that, lisa. what no one talks about is they randi weingarten did not listen to parents and the entire process i had a child that started high school when the pandemic hit. talk to any parent out there, dr. saphier truck doctor sapphie mental issue. we have not begun to impact the mental damage which will take you years you can catch up on math but the mental issues will take weight down the road. when they enter the workforce. the fact they did not listen was the cardinal sin to parents. honestly i'm not sure the listening now. >> is a great point great conversation guys. straightahead formula one fury white racing fans are suing over the motor mishap at the las vegas grand prix. that is next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ welcome back to the big weekend show. taylor swift resuming her tour in brazil so after postponing one of the shows due to extreme heat wave. and the death of one of her fans. fox news correspondent christina coleman is in los angeles with the update. >> hi, yes. such a tragic story beat the heat index a combination of air temperature and humidity hit nearly 140 degrees yesterday in rio de janeiro at the brazilian city were swift held her cult of the dangerous heatwave took a toll on her fans during the show and outside the stadium. >> i am worried because i have low blood pressure i was afraid of exposing myself to the sunlight in any serious consequences you might have. but being here is a dream it. i've worked hard i've saved money to be here at the show. so i've been taking all the precautions possible, drinking lots of water, umbrellas because a 23 old fan who died a brazilian newspaper reported she stood in line for hours to get inside the stadium to get a good spot, fainted, had to be resuscitated and suffered a second cardiac arrest on her way to the hospital where she died shortly after her arrival. authority said not a determined her cause of death. fans on social media complained they were not allowed to bring water into the stadium. swift it could be seen in some videos posted to social media asking organizers to give water to fans who got her attention and even throwing a bottle of water out to the crowd herself at swift postponed saturday's show and made the deadly heat wave. she shared her heartbreak over the fence death. writing on social media i cannot believe how devastated i am by this. very little information the fact she is so incredibly beautiful and far too young. swift added not speak to this at stagstate to feel overwhelmed by aggrieved by talk about this on to say i

compensation. going to come to you. sorry guys you don't get to see that she had paid up to $1000 for it. we are going to give 200-dollar gift shop gift cards to our pro shop but only if you bought a single day tickets. most people bought three day tickets which were probably much more common is that fair? >> biggest take away if you're not first or last so there's that. secondly what you get for $200 and a gift store? some crappy hat? that's a scam. and then as you pointed out the about the three day tickets you are out of luck. owing to the formula one race in miami at a couple of years ago it's really cool to go and see britain had a difficult time trying to exit and leave and try to find a ride home. we also had a couple adult beverages up about something to do with it. it is fun but obviously i could see why the fans were unhappy. they didn't get the expense they paid for right? >> fans are really upset about this a lawsuit is come to fruition. the f1 of president los angeles
