We are grateful. Hi katie. Hi, thank you so much, and welcome to the beat. Tonight, there could be a delay in Donald Trumps Hush Money Trial in new york. More on that in a moment but we start with breaking news. Judge cannon denying without prejudice trumps motion to dismiss counts one through 32 and is classified documents case. Her ruling coming in moments ago. She said trumps arguments are better suited to be argued later on in connection with other motions. In other words, she punted the decision. It comes after trump and jack smith faced off in a federal courtroom in florida today, trumps attorneys arguing to dismiss the entire superseding indictment against him, claiming the president ial records act gives them the authority to take and claim those classified documents as his own personal property. In the motion, trumps lawyers wrote, President Trump exercise virtually unreviewable authority to designate the records as personal. In court, trump lawyer todd blanche arguing, quote,
Here in the suburbs of philadelphia, to really kick off his post state of the union tour. And we are about to see Justy Of Travel from the president. Tomorrow he heads to atlanta, georgia. And then next week well see him traveling to New Hampshire on monday, and then on wednesday and thursday, wisconsin and michigan, of course, two of some of the most important Battleground States heading into november. And what the campaign is saying is that between the president and Vice President kamala harris, they plan on the two of them hitting up every Battleground State in the coming weeks. Now, of course, all of this is about amplifying the message that we heard from President Biden last night in his state of the union remarks. And just a few minutes ago, we heard the president telling reporters on the tarmac about the idea of debating his gop gop opposition candidate, donald trump, and also whether he tuned into the republican rebuttal to his remarks last night. Take a listen. Will you commit
Speaker emerita and democratic congresswoman from california, nancy pelosi. Speaker pelosi, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. So i have to say this was this may have been the highest stakes speech of President Bidens long career in politics. It may have been the highest stakes state of the Union Address that ive ever seen. I think he met the moment. Oh, i think he did definitely. Actually, i should quote him and just say, maybe i should go home right now because i think what he did was spectacular. He did it with vigor. He did it with vision, with patriotism. And i think it was one of the finest state of the Union Addresses i have seen. And ive seen many. So obviously a lot of republicans are critical of it. One of the things that theyre criticizing it for is for being political. And it was a very political state of the Union Address. Well, it had some political aspects to it, mostly generated by the audience saying four more years, but the perhaps amnesia has set in
Jonathan capehart, who just wrapped up an Exclusive Interview with president joe biden. Touching on several issues, including the term that he regrets using during the state of the Union Address. I shouldnt have used it. It is undocumented. When i spoke about the difference between trump and me, one of the things i talked about was the way he talks about vermin, these people polluting. I talked about what im not going to do. What i wont do. I will not treat any of these people with disrespect. The president also addressed the situation in gaza. And had appointed a message for israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. He has a right to defend israel. The right to continue to pursue hamas. He must, you must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence. I want to see a ceasefire. We have all of the highlights on the Special Edition of the saturday show. Weve got a big show with you tonight. The reason im in the chair, Jonathan Capehart is currently trave
Good evening. Im abby phillip in new york. And tonight, how joe biden got his groove back and why youre about to hear what he said last night. More than a taylor swift single on the radio. 30 plus Million People tuned in last night to watch the president insist that the state of our union is strong, but also to see if biden could still look strong himself. Its something republicans told you over and over again that he simply could not do. President biden, on the other hand, im not even sure if he knows where he is. And i dont say that flippantly, neal. It actually hurts. He is our president , even if i disagree with him violently. But he clearly is not all there may be automatically that we laugh at it, because some of his ideas and all of his ideas are are laughable, arent they . But also, the longer we laugh, the less hell speak. Probably, or the longer hell have to be up there. Republicans. They bet on sleepy joe and a day later the spin is suddenly totally different. Biden wasnt sl
