and there he is. chaz. the rec league s self-crowned pickleball king. do you just bow down? no you de-thrown the king. pedialyte. 3x the electrolytes. president biden will host his first camp david summit of his presidency today. i can t listen to that song without thinking about the ends of royal tennen balm. what a incredible movie. let s get back to news. the summit is going to bring together the leaders of both south korea and japan to announce new steps forward in defensive cooperation, this as joe biden, might say, is a big blanking deal. the meeting reportedly will not end with a nato-style defensive
Moscow. And on this show, from the parents of one of The Americans being detained in russia, were live with them in just a moment for an interview youll not want to miss, all of it as President Bidens domestic agenda seems to pick up steam. Infrastructure and voting rights. Whats happened in the world while the eyes are fixed on geneva. And its decision day in the Supreme Court. Its on obamacare, lgbtq rights, and free speech. Any second we get word from the court, were going to break in as it happens. Im Hallie Jackson with Josh Letterman at the white house. Leigh ann caldwell on capitol hill and an msnbc contributor. Good morning to all of you. Josh, let me start with you. The president returns home from overseas. Then the sales job begins. Frankly, theres a pretty long list of unresolved issues here. Reporter what the white house is saying, hallie, is the president achieved what he cement out to do, not some grand detat or where moscow becomes a u. S. Alley, but instead trying to ke
Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal that would anger progressives in his own party. Up first, the Major Supreme Court decision with a giant impact on your health care, the new ruling is 72. It dismisses a challenge to the Affordable Care act. The decision leaves intact how millions of you pay for your doctors visits, pay for your Prescription Drugs, its the third challenge to the Health Care Law since president obama signed it and it is the third time a conservative tilted Supreme Court agreed to save it. Cnns joan joins us now. Reporter its very important for the millions of americans who depend on the Affordable Care act. Its important to the legacy of barack obama. Its important to the administration of joe biden. But its really important to the roberts court. Those two prior rulings, upholding the act, they were narrowly divided, 54, then 63 back in 2012 and 2015. This one is 72. Chief Justice John Roberts had a strong majority. He has signed it to Justice Steven briar who said that the
with peter ducey before. as someone who covered the white house for years, peter ducey handled it perfectly. not always a fan of how peter ducey works but the president called him. said i m sorry. said he wanted to move on. and peter said fine. i m going to be back to work tomorrow. what s up with the president? it s not the first time he s said something, been caught saying something about a reporter. not the first time he s been caught on a hot mic. remember the big blanking deal when he was vice president and he was hugging then-president obama. but i think more broadly, i was thinking about sam donaldson and ronald reagan. presidents have a there s a benefit for presidents to use certain reporters as foils. and sometimes, depending on the dynamic, definitely in this case, in the case of ducey and fox, there s a benefit for them to do the same. the fact that the president apologized is good. the fact that ducey handled it
coming out, ron klain tweeting out, it s still a bfd. that s when it passed and joe biden was caught on a hot mic telling president obama it was a big blanking deal. and then thanks to a record plan that s lowered premiums and special enrollment period launched by the president, more americans are covered under the aca since any time since the passage. a big sigh of relief at the white house as they realize they re not going to have to deal with this massive distraction that would have been a blow to the affordable care act from the supreme court, allowing it to continue, keeping the eye on the ball on their domestic agenda, on infrastructure, voting rights, and other issues. we do expect a more formal comment from the white house will be coming very shortly. in the meantime, clearly an expression of delight coming from the chief of staff and others at the white house.
