FOXNEWS America Reports July 2, 2024



his reelection bid despite the dismal debate performance and plenty of calls for the president to throw in the towel on his second term. you thought things were interesting and they are only getting more. welcome back. i'm sandra smith in new york. jackie, great to have you here. >> jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich and for john roberts. president biden, his family in the white house are in full-fledged damage control mode following last week's brutal debate. first lady jill biden tells "vogue" magazine we will continue to fight and will not let those 90 minutes to find the four years he has been president. >> sandra: asia hosni is live in washington with the latest on all of this. what are you here a link? >> good afternoon. the scotus ruling was a nice distraction for the biden-harris campaign from this debate fall out. they just held a call with lawmakers on the house judiciary committee but according to reports out there there is still major concern coming from rank-and-file democrats, people who have races to win in november. one democrats tells playbook that it is just his egotism and has families enabling. jill biden of all people, she sees him every single day. she is the one person who could end this train wreck. democratic leadership is rallying around president biden and admitting that they do have to start reaching out to these freaked out members to calm the caucus. >> where in the process of having conversations with various parts of the house democratic caucus. that's ongoing and it will continue. we are in recess next week for the fourth of july holiday so we will have to have those conversations over the phone and virtually. spew in and they will have to have those conversations when everyone comes back next monday. any names being floated right now as possible replacements, they are disavowing those calls. politico is reporting that gretchen whitmer is apparently telling the biden campaign that she does not support this draft movement out there. california governor gavin newsom told me after the debate last week that joe biden will be the nominee, not him. and maryland governor wes moore says he is not going to step in if biden decides to step out. he was just on the campaign trail in wisconsin for biden urging voters to stick with him. sandra. >> sandra: thank you. it swung really hard one direction and then maybe it was just a bad debate performance says nancy pelosi. hang in there. we will see where this goes. >> jacqui: i think there's a couple things going on. i think there is the realization that it is too late in a lot of ways to have a real conversation about who might take his place. it would certainly be a food fight if it happened after august 7th when he will be formally made the nominee but no one wanted to have this conversation in the party a year ago. so here we are. >> sandra: and we just played sound on the president himself saying there is 50 democrats who could be donald trump. we will see where it goes. >> jacqui: in the meantime, a monumental decision for presidential powers as the supreme court rules that former president trump is immune from prosecution over official acts. but specified he does not have immunity for unofficial annex. bryan llenas is live from palm beach, florida, with more. brian. >> the trump campaign and the republican national committee are already fund-raising off of the supreme court decision. one fund-raising email proclaiming in bold president trump was right about everything. the former president claiming this decision by the supreme court should vindicate him for all of the criminal and civil trials against him and saying president biden it showed a "call off his dogs." he told fox digital i've been harassed by the democrat party, joe biden, obama, and their thugs fascist and communist for years and now the courts have spoken. now i am free to campaign like anyone else. we are leading in every poll by a lot and we will make america great again. the rnc says the ruling as a victory for the rule of law and a reminder that the constitution outweighs the left's weaponization of the judicial system against president trump and his allies. ohio senator and a trump vp hopeful j.d. vance says this is a massive win. not just for trump about the rule of law. i am still digesting but this may well destroy all of jack smith's case against the president. the supreme court decision ensures the special prosecutor jack smith election interference case it will not go to trial before election day. it also complicates his case against the former president now that the trial judge will have to decide whether the four criminal charges against a trump for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election can stick or whether they are immune official acts. democratic congresswoman aoc, she is calling for the impeachment of the conservative supreme court justices writing on x "today's ruling represents an assault on american democracy. it is up to congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. i intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return." the biden-harris campaign is also fund-raising off of this decision warning that if trump wins, he will be more unhinged and more dangerous because he knows the courts "won't hold him back." >> jacqui: thank you so much brian. >> sandra: let's bring in brett tolman former federal prosecutor and u.s. attorney for utah. always good to have you on the program. judge jeanine joined us last hour and said this on the ruling. listen. >> whenever anyone on the left talks about an assault against democracy, you know that it has little if any meaning. that is there go to mind when they don't have a substantive argument. the supreme court is a branch that has final decision on legal decisions in this country. they are not willing to accept if it does not align with their political ideology and this is part of the institutional breakdown of our government. >> sandra: but that is not stopping some democrats including chuck schumer, aoc to which he was responding a tweet from alexandria ocasio-cortez and others saying that this is a sign that this is a politicized court and a broken system. your response. >> it is literally the definition of democracy working. it is separation of powers. it is judges that just recently george barrett and justice roberts were praised by the left for some of the decisions that have come out. we saw several unanimous decisions. they had no issues with any of those but now when there is a very important case, divided on political lines, they have an issue with it. i will tell you this is a decision that was actually not difficult when it comes to analyzing the law. they came down exactly where constitution is on it, where the law is, and it is not a slam-dunk 100% win for president trump. it is a 90% win for president trump when you combine that with the fisher opinion that came out. but that's the way it should be. because we are seeing they have been using and manipulating our criminal laws to try to take out a political opponent in the supreme court said let me remind you you have to satisfy the proper show of evidence in order to pursue this. >> jacqui: democrats it seems are not reading it as a down the middle decision. you had the biden campaign holding a press call saying, and i quote, they just handed donald trump the keys to a dictatorship. you had chuck schumer tweeting this disgraceful decision by the mega scotus which is comprised of three justices appointed by trump himself enables the former president to weaken our democracy by breaking the law and it underlines scotus's credibility and suggests it trumps all in the courts today. the senate minority leader suggested that there should potentially be some consequences for this talk. i want to play for you what he said he and see you agree. >> this goes beyond the standard disgraceful bullying my democratic colleagues have perfected. recusal is a judicial act. the senators are telling chief justice privately to change the course of litigation. >> jacqui: should it democrats who say this to face any consequences for this? >> i think they should. the senate has rules of professional conduct that apply. the ethical rules. it's also concerning because the same individuals riled up their base, used very inflammable language that resulted in different attempts to go after the supreme court. literally there was a criminal investigation of an individual that threatened to take out members of the court. this is not responsibility. this is not responsible conversation. this is not senators that are acting as statesmen. this is political pouting and tantrum throwing that could lead to consequences. >> sandra: it will be interesting to see as i mentioned democrats are very outspoken on the issue with chuck schumer calling this a disgraceful decision by the mega scotus. which is comprised of three justices appointed by trump himself enables the former president to break our democracy by breaking the law. at undermine scotus's credibility and suggest political influence. trump is in our courts today. for that reason there are some who are saying what does this mean if former president donald trump wins another term? >> the law before this decision was that a president is immune when acting under constitutional authority. and is immune, presumption of immunity when acting in an official capacity and it does not have immunity when acting in an unofficial capacity. that was the law before this opinion. it is now the law after this opinion. the clarification is jack smith and all of you who are prosecuting donald trump, you can pursue it but you have the burden of actually showing that you are charging unofficial acts that don't allow for immunity to protect the president. that's okay. let them do it. if they have the evidence, then present it. that's why they are upset. because they don't have the evidence sufficient to show that these are unofficial acts. that's why the anger. >> sandra: thank you. >> jacqui: in the meantime, the house judiciary committee is officially suing the attorney general merrick garland in an attempt to obtain audio recordings of president biden's interview with special counsel robert hur. he opted against pressing charges against biden saying he was "a sympathetic well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory." the committee is seeking audio saying important nonverbal context is missing from transcripts. all right. forecasters putting out their most aggressive hurricane season prediction on record. this is a live look there and it already appears to be moving up to it. a live look at the caribbean as

>> it means they are circling the wagons around biden. when the leftist media turned on by it and immediately after the debate, the biden campaign went into full panic mode and they are very clearly making a concerted effort to get the media back on board. to start pushing the narrative again that the biden campaign wants them to the problem is that this was such a public display of degeneration on biden's part that it really doesn't matter what the biden campaign says or even with the media repeats because voters saw this with their own eyes and we had a pull out just a day that found an overwhelming majority of voters now believe that biden is no longer fit to serve another four years in office. that's a kind of thing that doesn't go away and it's the thing that voters don't forget. >> jacqui: they just put out a new ad in the campaign in response to this i want to play it for you and get your reaction. >> i know how to tell the truth. and i know like millions of americans know when you get knocked down, you get back up. >> jacqui: that was sound from his rally immediately following the debate but of course anyone who is paying very close attention knows that those remarks were delivered with a teleprompter. with hundreds of supporters behind him rallying for him. is that going to move the needle with anyone who is skeptical? >> i don't think so because the state of the unit did not move the needle. this is more of the same angry biden that we saw at the state of the union which democrats really expected to help give him a boost of momentum. that momentum never appeared. again, i don't think voters are going to easily forget what they saw last week. i think of my own demographic, young voters. heading into this election cycle as of last year, 85% of gen z voters already did not think that biden was mentally fit to serve another four years. imagine what that number is now after seeing biden's performance last thursday. i would guess it is probably closer to 95%. another problem here is that democrats have backed them selves into a corner. they can't reliably depend on kamala harris anymore at this point and she was supposed to be the one that attracted young voters in the first place and she is as unpopular among us as she is with other demographics. they don't have great options heading into the summer, heading into the very busy election season. >> jacqui: one of the names being tossed around as gretchen whitmer. i thought it was a very interesting article in "politico" saying she took it upon herself to call the campaign and say i don't like they are using my name as a potential successor but by the way we have a problem in michigan and this debate may have made the state unwinnable for biden. that's a big deal. >> a very big deal. i'm from michigan and i've been long saying gretchen whitmer would be a perfect alternative if the democrats could pull it off. i don't think they can at this point but she has the appeal. she can easily win over the suburban moms that trump and biden need. she has already capitalized on democrats top issue which is abortion and, surprisingly, even as biden's approval ratings has tanked throughout the state, or hers have remained pretty steady. she's a popular figure in the state like it or not. she would be great however it's funny to me to even see the biden campaign put out these other names of biden can beat them to. regardless of if he can. but they are clearly concerned that gretchen whitmer or gavin newsom would try to make a challenge at the convention in august. >> jacqui: you would former president trump thing on truth social big leak in michigan they want their jobs and country back. i believe he was referencing a poll taken before the debate but certainly all of this will put a lot of extra attention on swing states where the biggest issue, abortion, is not on the ballot. their focus on the economy so we will continue to watch it. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. sandra. >> sandra: thank you. migrant crime making waves and we will speak to a man who lost his son at the hands of an illegal immigrant about what he wants to see change about what is happening right now. >> jacqui: plus a live check of the dow as we are getting some grim warnings from wall street. steve moore and robert wolf joining us with their thoughts and what we are watching next. oh, why leaffilter?
