it s done. dana: a big tease for quite a while. president biden made the announcement in a video released early this morning and some of the slogans from his last campaign and attacked so-called maga republicans and implores voters to help him finish the job. president biden: when i ran for president four years ago i said we re in the battle for the soul of america. we still are. the question we re facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer. this is not a time to be complacent and why i m running for re-election. around the country maga extremist are lining up to cut social security that you paid for your entire life while culting taxes for the wealthy. dictating what healthcare decisions women can make. banning books and telling people who they can love all while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote. this is our moment. bill: it s part of the 3:02 release today. the president going ahead with his campa
what s going on? it doesn t work. there is a man crossing the street not at the crosswalk, but the car was that good to see that person in the middle of the night is the point. dana: we ll see how it goes. in idaho remember the story. 1 of 2 house mates who survived the deadly attack on four idaho college students last fall is fighting a subpoena to testify in court. she lived in the basement of the home where her roommates were stabbed and killed. defense attorneys said she could help clear the murder suspect. dan springer live in seattle. this case is six weeks away from its official the next step. this coming to a woman who doesn t want to testify, dan. exactly. that preliminary hearing coming up in a couple of months. we don t have any information or confirmation on what that surviving roommate might say that could help the defense.
