Be when you are looking live at capitol hill where lawmakers are said to hear directly from jewish students this hour about the antisemitism that they have experienced on campus. Sandra we are monitoring that hearing and we will bring you any news as it goes under way but we begin with some major news on the 2024 showdown. We have an empty podium right here to my right. You know what that is . That is for joe biden i am trying to get him to debate me. I would love to debate any time and i think its a good time to have a debate. Even though its early. Six months is pretty close. Speak i am calling on Crooked Joe Biden to debate any time, anywhere, anyplace. John former President Donald Trump has been taunting and during his his 2024 arrival to debate and President Biden has finally agreed, but on his own terms. Donald trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then he has not shown up for debate and now he acts like he wants to debate me again. Make my day, pal. I will even do it twice. Lets pick the dates, donald. I hear you are free on wednesdays. John whose idea was it really . Was it trump or bidens idea . Sajohn roberts in washington. Sandra im happy To Be With You, john. A little race we run in washington once a year we run our race and i think its fun. John im shocked thats the chance to bring it to d. C. Is a run. We have nice people here. We have traffic worse than new york. Sandra i had to ask what is happening every hotel is booked, the streets are filled, d. C. Is happening. John i knew you were here. Sandra john roberts is here, glad To Be With You im sandra smith this is america reports. The former president s says he is game for the debates in june and september now. They want just two candidates and a moderator but no audience. It also asks microphones will be cut off at the time limits. John lets bring bill mcgurn Fox News Contributor and Wall Street Editor for more on this. Its almost like bidens position is laughable here. He has been taunting biden to debate for months and now biden finally says if you want to go at it lets go out at lets go edit my terms, my arena, i mean what do you expect will happen come June 27th And Again September 10th . I think this is great news for the American People. They are voting. Joe bidens president , trump was former president. They have sharp differences. Let them go at it. Its like the alifrazier fights there will be nothing bigger on tv and i think its good. I think it also speaks clearly, as you point out, john, trump was trying to go to the president into agreeing where it looks like he might skip out. I think not so much that loading but his low poll ratings and a lot of bad news for joe biden around that and also just a feeling that is inevitably guiding up to it, i think that led to the white house decision to accept. So it is good news for the American People. Sandra bill, good have you on. What is your message as far as i should say whats the message of both candidates and their teams in prepping for this, not 200 dominic west wow underestimate . I think they will have to have someone some of the should be about revisiting what was in the last debate. Joe biden told some real whoppers about his son not getting any money from china until four than and i expected trump to pick that up but its really more debate about the future of america. What its going to be a Green New Deal with high inflation or will it be something more like trumps first term with low inflation, good economic expansion and people at the bottom in groups that normally dont benefit benefiting from a rise in income . And that is what people want to see. Biden i am sure will find himself on the defensive one trump asks about his claim that inflation was at 9 when Biden Took Office rather than the 1. 4 that it actually was. Carolyn who was present trumps Press Secretary was at americas newsroom this morning. Bill asked her about the debate and listen what she said. That is certainly an effort to protect joe biden who obviously has an issue with his soldering come with his speaking, with his cognitive ability. President trump was the interuptathon. All i can tell he was the president is ready to do it. John game this out for us we have biden who has clearly lost a step since 2020 and very often makes gaps and shakes hands with the air, stumbles up the short steps to Air Force One, but then you have former President Trump who in 2020 did engage in an eruptathon, interruptathon what we expect . Ethic a lot of disregard for the rules but the visuals are important. Like you mentioned joe biden has lost if they step. We have a white house that has sent people to walk out to marine one with him to hide the shuffling. He goes up the back part of Air Force One because he has trouble with stairs. I think the contrast with trump whether you hate trump or not he looks bigger is. You know . And i think the debates always favor the challenger because he is not on the defensive. He is no longer defending a record. He is attacking a record. There is a lot that goes into it. What it tells me, i think, is that joe biden realized he could not get along with away with not doing press conferences, not doing anything offthecuff, and not having debates with trump as bad and as dangerous as they might be, i think they realized it was untenable to try to avoid them altogether. You mentioned some of those whoppers we are in the last debate especially about his son and the part of biden, this is the claim of about inflation is just puzzling and we wonder how this is handled. I think inflation has gone slightly up. It wasnt 9 when we came in and its now down about 3 . But the fact is i think people are just uncertain. Thats why we have to be steady, stay the course, and continue to produce these incredible jobs. Sandra that has been repeated, build, multiple times the Washington Post has given it four pinocchio that was 1. 4 when he took office. How is that going to be handled . I think the problem is joe biden thinks if he says things often enough they become true. And we are hard pressed on the question with a 9. 49 inflation point, the press would be all over him every day and joe biden has been better than that by the press and actually makes him weaker because he is not used it to answering it. He has said it more than once as you point out, sandra, you cant say slip of the tongue. John bill, thank you for joining us. We look forward to the 27th. Sandra thanks, bill. John you have to wonder is biden really counting on a conviction in the trump trial . How would that change things . Sandra great question we will learn more tomorrow. Now the war in gaza by demonstration will reportedly move forward with a massive weapons package to israel, all of this after pausing a shipment over concerns about the countrys planned invasion of russia. Gillian turner is live from the State Department hello, julian. What does the State Department actually want here . Sander a week ago the State Department warned that it is reasonable to assess israel is breaking International Law and the idf has human rights abuse in gaza. Now fastforward to today and we are learning the Biden Administration is moving ahead with the massive shipment to israel at over 1 billion. So quite a difference. Take a look at this the State Department talking about the decision to pause a shipment of 2,000pound bombs over concerns they would be used in rafah and inadvertently kill civilians, listen. It is fully legitimate for the United States to be concerned about the use of certain Security Assets of ours in an urban and then setting. Policy and political concerns in mind is straddling the fence trying to appease both sides. The United States has sent a massive amount of Military Assistance to israel. To defend itself we are continuing to send Military Assistance. And we will ensure israel route receives the full amount provided in a supplement. Speaker republican lawmakers on capitol hill including the House Speaker are unleashing on this approach, listen. The irony is when joe biden is doing for political purposes to try to appease the prohamas people in his party i guess the propalestinian, he is doing real harm to the cause and the protection of innocent life. Secretary blinken in ukraine recently delivered one of his strongest rebukes of israel yet he says the forces should get out of gaza. Now the house is pushing ahead with a bill that would essentially kill the white houses not allowing them to put any more holes to like colds, the white house is obviously that they strongly oppose it, sandra . Sandra Gillian Turner live, thank you. John former President Trumps veepstakes and the team is looking for more than loyalty. One of the looking for . Carl rhodes is next.

Com spewing former President Trumps allies have been showing up, governor have been speaking on his back and they happen to be on his rumored shortlist for Vice President. Lets ran Fox News Contributor and farmhouse stock former Chief Of Staff we will get to it but i want to ask it looks like there are indeed going to be president ial debates june 27 and september 10th. Not surprised there will be debates but i am surprised that vice President Biden woke up to the fact that he was looking like he was trying to avoid debates. If there had not been debates whoever the American Public held responsible for the absence of debates would suffer in the polls. He is finding his numbers bad enough already and probably decided i better stop up and look like i am eager to debate. And it will be wild. I think it will be one part of this will be very useful for the American People. I think bill mcgurn was absolutely right the American People want to see these two men debate. And it will be a debate that is sort of retro its back to 1960s. We will have a studio with a moderator, may be a couple of pressed people a couple executives and the crew running the show and no audience which i think i wrote a couple of weeks ago in my Wall Street Journal column i thought that would be a distinct improvement. The audience has turned these into performance and the American People lose the serious conversation they can have between a moderator and or moderators and the two candidates when we have all of the shenanigans going on that happen when you have a gigantic audience. John similarities to the 1960s nixonjfk but i dont think either candidates will use easy shave instead of actually using a razor. No they will not. John you have to be really old to get that reference. Now i want to talk to you about the veepstakes and who makes the most sense . I think rubio would help him with latino voters, scott helps him with black voters, program is a temporal rental counterweight, christie was in the running until that book came out but nikki haley seems to me to make the most sense to him. Recent primaries yesterday maryland and nebraska helped primaries she got 20 of the vote in maryland, 18 in nebraska. On the seven she got 22 of the vote in indiana and 68 of the vote back in april 23rd. She is still in the running but she has been out of the race since march. If you look at the suburbs i can maryland she got more than the third of the vote in washington, d. C. If you look in nebraska also last night in omaha and its Suburbs Douglas and sarpy counties in Lancaster Lincoln which is a College Educated audience, she ran better than a quarter of the vote and she has been out of the race for going on two months. But look, lets step back for a minute. What is the purpose of the Vice President ial candidate . Maybe to unite the party, may be to appeal to a special group, maybe it is to add some patina to the president ial candidate. But i will tell you, i have been moved by a book called do Running Mates matter with every bit of data to see what really matters and they find only one things matter from a political perspective and that is what does the Vice President ial candidate do to reinforce the image of the president ial candidate as being a good president . That is to say if you pick somebody who people say well, the Vice President ial running mate, Ronald ReaganPyxis Principal who has been an ambassador to china and the u. N. , cia res director and respd member of congress and they say that george w. Bush says things about Ronald Reagan. A strong, confident leader who will unite his party and then when he picks sarah palin on the dimensions we rate with the judgment draw. So the point of the two authors is pick the person who most americans will look out and immediately saved or that person has the ability to be the president if something bad happens. John there is another aspect included in this calculation according to an anonymous trump ally who talked to fox news who said trump and his team are paying close attention to who is activating their Donor Networks on behalf of the former president. They are less interested in who shows up to a fence with preexisting trump donors and more interested in seeing who is bringing new donors into the fold. By that calculus it is nikki haley. Again, this is going to be a shortterm interest in their part but the point that i am making is it will have little to no affect in the outcome of the election. May be doug burgum who has been a very successful business guy shows up with a couple Million Dollars more than to fill in the blank, marco rubio, but at the end of the day what really matters in terms of winning the election is due the American People look at the choice and say that was a president ial decision worthy of the person we want to put in the oval office . John quick answer for this because we are running out of time there is a chance the running mate is going to go literally from their Republican Conventions into a president ial debate with Kamala Harris. Who is best equipped to do that . Almost anyone who is a quality pick would do well with Kamala Harris she is one of the worst public speakers i think ive ever seen. And you know, they will need to be prepared and given a lot of Research Material to absorb but the republican nominee for Vice President if it is a good pick will find themselves performing well into debate she is not a Great Debater. Coral road for us thank you so much appreciate it. You bet. In terms of that calculus my money would be on nikki haley who proved herself as a Great Debater or marco rubio who proved himself back in 2016 as a very astute debater as well. Sandra and you think of all of those as he stepped out of the trail yesterday, doug burgum was standing there, right . Tim scott . Loyal supporters were there. They are vying for it obviously. There are a lot of names in there we will see what happens. Any moment now as you heard in our first hour jewish students are said to testify to lawmakers about the antisemitism on their College Campuses. Plus as israeli tanks move deep
