with president biden and several actual movie stars in hollywood as george clooney and julia roberts, jimmy kimmel, and more were all part of this big campaign event and fundraiser raising over $30 million. that s actually a record-breaking amount for a single event by biden. obama juggling father s day celebrations. we couldn t resist a chance to share a little bit of that. i think, james, we can agree with the importance of family on a weekend like this, but he juggled that with the campaign business. this event did raise money, but it s also trying to raise awareness about the general election. the democrats think the more people they can wake up to the choice of trump and the threat of trump earlier the better. obama s one of the party s most popular messengers, and he used this appearance, his first since trump s conviction, to argue that a jury convicted donald trump of a crime and that matters and that conservatives should reject this republican party, insisting on con
yesterday that we all followed it. this former president, now presidential candidate convicted of a felony. but that brings to us a different and unprecedented reality now. because he is the presumptive nominee of his party. we have not heard about dropping him from the ticket which in a different era and party you might hear about. trump holding his first campaign rally since becoming a convicted felon. he went to arizona, one of the battleground state. that is a dnc ad trying to get everyone focused on the reality saying he is unhinged and unfit. they might change the bylaws now but that defeats the purpose of having the requirements and the rules for a party. a non-partisan journalist means trump is banned from carrying a gun. that is just a reality. so, on the one hand he will not be able to have the guns he used to have access to. that is not something convicted felons are allowed to have. if he wins the electoral college he could be in charge of the nukes again. donald
donald trump was convicted of a quite elaborate scheme to steal from you because that is how fraud works. if he pays less taxes, you pay more. we are headed to a debate and a question about how america takes in the first-ever major party convicted felon candidate. it is not just law but politics and scheduling. we have our the beat house historian when we are back together in 90 seconds. e are bak together in 90 seconds because there are places you d like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur.
a more autocratic one. let s be clear that it goes beyond messaging. speaker mike johnson is all but vowing to turn it into a banana republic and go after the very jury system that he used to defend. top republicans say they will target prosecutors and do things that are all but admitting illegality if you say you are go going to go out and get someone and they take their cues from the convicted felon candidate. revenge does take time. it does. sometimes revenge can be justified. in your first term you did not arrest or jail any of your political opponents. after the conviction has the approach changed. hillary clinton and all of
history doesn t. everything that should have hurt him hasn t hurt him yet. reporters have been consistently wrong in predicting what he is going to do. the fact that his favorables in the republican party base have gone up. he tweeted out a picture of himself and nazi soldier super imposed on the american flag yesterday. it hasn t hurt him. it s probably not going to hurt him. he is a testify felon candidate. it appears to me that many in the media are gunning for him. it s like, in fact, they say he doesn t have a chance and in the face of these poll numbers and actually, after 2008 at least i was surprised to. i m reluctant to predict. do you think the media gunning for him helps him? absolutely. i think the disesm about the media and people think they know he. they helped president obama in 2008. that s the odd thing is that the media was very much in his corner now we have a media doing the opposite and we see trump s numbers going up. i think there is, again skepticism,
