to bring the conflict in russia to an end. it s now about him and the second for him is that on the one hand, the former president donald trump has faded a little bit to the background. he s not as much on the mind of the electorate on the other end is obviously running. and pretty soon he ll be part of the story so he ll have to draw that same sharp contrast to biden. second term would look like versus what trump s second term would look like and make that a theme of the campaign and biden. he really is facing some headwinds right because there s a lot of polling that shows his approval rating is low, and we ve even heard some democrats who have voiced their concerns about his age. the new york times editorial board just released an editorial urging biden too. take voters concerns about age seriously and in the op ed, the board writes. quote if he runs again, mr biden will need to provide explicit reassurance to voters. many of them have seen
everybody be in the world is thinking about president carter. but that s one of the things that s been on my mind all day today, the kind of parallels between those two situations. that s a beautiful a beautiful echo of an incredible history inside our msnbc family. obviously this is mika brzezinski s brother and she s had him on the program. mike, you want to weigh in on some of these echoes for president biden too? yeah, it occurred to me as we were watching those pictures that biden probably wants to have a conversation with brzezinski. and as you mentioned, i ve often heard from white house officials how in their view president biden is a real gameday player and he ll likely be riding the momentum here and making some calls still before he gets to the hotel. i believe it. mike memoli, john heilemann, two better humans to have this conversation with do not exist. thank you so much for starting us off this hour. we had that plane land, you know, just forever you. just for us.
have seen them standing back, not just since the search which actually was pretty condemned but once it was clear what the volume and severity was of the documents that were in said to be in former president trump s possession so this allows republicans to say, hey, look, this happened with biden too. again, as we have stressed here, from what we know so far, these are not analogous situations but in this sort of tribal partisan environment republicans are going to cling to it. carrie, one glaring difference between the situation, the fact that the former president is being investigated for possible obstruction. do you think biden could impact a decision-making from the doj to the former president? so, as to whether or not the existence of this investigation for president biden s documents impacts the investigation of former president trump, the answer to that question should be, no, as a theoretical matter and sort of a purist justice
over everything. said for the first time since he started running the president sounded joyful. yeah. he sounded happy. he sounded relieved. and he sounded like the american people are good people, and i have been saying that, and i finally feel justified for all of these people who have been telling me i need to, like, just crash and burn and do what trump does. he said, they re good people. you can trust them. yeah, look, i ve talked to the white house and people close to president biden too. how close to him? very close. not related. he used to talk when i was in the white house how after the election of 2020, the nerves were frayed. all of our nerves were frayed. he didn t get to enjoy, there was no big inauguration, he had
the history of america brought to you by the republican party. sean: right. it was the republican party that brought hbcu funding to the highest level in the history of the country. it was the republican sean: historically black colleges is what you re referring to. exactly. sean: yeah. it was the republican party that brought unemployment rates to the lowest level for hispanics under 5%, african americans under 6%, asians under 3%. the overall population 3.5%. it s the biden administration that has provided every single american with a pay cut because of inflation. inflation is a tax on hard working americans like the single mom that raised me. we can t afford 14 more days of this administration. but if we elect him in 14 days, two years later we ll get rid of president biden too. it s a time for a revival in
