are decided before election day? plus, any minute now, president biden will be weighing in on the border bill, a last ditch effort to turn it into law. but, on the hill, is it already a lost cause? so we ll get to that, we start with the breaking news, the d.c. circuit court unanimously rejecting donald trump s claims of immunity from federal prosecution, declaring them to be contrary to the constitution and america s founding principles. this is a massive legal blow to the former president, in and of itself, but moves the d.c. election interference case closer to a trial, at least bombly. potentially. in the opinion, they said, we cannot accept forum president trump s claim that a president has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power, the recognition and implementation of election results. and, in fact, they say, it would be a striking paradox if the president, who alone is vested with the constitutional du

31 and a half trillion dollars and counting every moment of every day. speaker mccarthy set to meet with the president to discuss the debt limit and other topics on wednesday. lucas tomlinson live at the white house with more on these upcoming critical negotiations, good afternoon, lucas. lucas: mike, the white house confirm that is meeting will take place wednesday. the white house says it cover wide-range of topics, this one first face to face meeting with new house speaker and president biden. we will meet this wednesday. i know the president said he didn t want to have any discussions but i think it s very important that our whole government is designed to find compromise. i want to find a reasonable and responsible way that we can lift the debt ceiling but take control of the run away spending. democrats have a position. raise the debt ceiling and pay the bills. we are not going to negotiate with ourselves. if the republicans want to put something on the table and sa

president is having speaker meet with him. he said he would always work in bipartisan way and reach out to republicans and work with with them where they wanted to but he has a position that i think a lot of democrats have. we ve spent this money. it s time to pay the bill and if you want to talk about cutting spending which i think a lot of people would agree we have to, then we can do that at a different time. this isn t the time to do it. it s also really politically hypocritical for republicans all of a sudden the care about the debt and deficit when donald trump ran you have 25% of 31 trillion and they raised the debt ceiling without hesitation 3 times during his presidency. it seems they only find fiscal responsibility when democrats are in charge, but democrats are willing to talk to them about it. they are just not willing to do it when you re riskying defaulting on our credit and collapsing the global economy. that s where the difference is. it s who joe biden, he will work wi
