Sexy manatee and music back. Really big deal. Thanks, dana. Good evening, welcome to washington. Im bret baier. Breaking tonight, President Biden is three hours away from what critics and supporters are calling one of the most important speeches of his political career. The incumbent president trying to fend off his predecessor and potential successor must prove to the American People he is not too old, too infirm or too out of touch on policies important to americans to justify a second term.
