sorry, sparky. i m jonathan capehart, this is the sunday show. this sunday, president biden on offense. in a fiery speech outside independence hall on thursday, he warns that americans democracy is at risk from trump loyalist who he calls maga republicans. in that same, speech the president has talked about the progress that biden has made on key issues intended to move the nation forward. all around, thursday the cdc recommended new booster to fight the highly contagious omicron subvariant. the next day the economy got a boost with another solid month of job creation. but as the residents of jackson mississippi will attached, not everything is going well. they are now in their seventh straight day without clean water. here to discuss all of this and more, karine jean-pierre, white house press secretary. karine, welcome back to the sunday show. thank you so much, jonathan, thanks for having me. let s start with, jackson mississippi. president biden signed an emergency dec
weeks off a supreme court decision to point the nation down an onshore path. among them, millions of wisdom now subject to the courts decision, overturning roe v. wade. many having already watched trigger bans on abortion taking effect in their states, while conservative lawmakers dream up cartoonish methods to keep women from freeing to blue states where abortion is still legal. president biden must not only preside over the scales, but use it to drive voters to the polls, leading up to a midterm elections in november. of course, national abortion fight is far from his only domestic challenge, as this july 4th weekend has been curtailed by the same record inflation and rising gasoline prices that have tended the presidents approval numbers for months now. i would be lying if i said our democracy was not in peril this independence day, and i want patronizing with the easy prescription of vote harder. because, marginalized communities will tell you, it s not that simple. and s
the country is on fire, what can i do to reduce the heat? that picks up on everything we see from the donald, that s classic trump. the former president is not somebody that will reduce the heat simply because he can or should, as a leader, an elder statesman. instead, trump back channels a nefarious message that sounds like a threat and a transaction. he was saying, in effect, according to this report, i m going to make him an offer he can t refuse. only it seems that merrick garland did refuse trump s offer, and since thursday, he has done nothing to reduce the heat with predictable consequences. on thursday, unarmed trump supporter who attacked the fbi field office, in cincinnati ohio was killed after a six hour standoff. and just this morning, a man that crashed his car into a barricade outside of the u.s. capitol before firing shots into the air from his burning car, and then turning the gun on himself. he turned the gun on himself. and breaking tonight, a new joint inte

friends. i know everybody has been hearing from loved ones. just shock. i got a note this morning from a friend in mississippi. his pastor wrote the congregation yesterday and said, as i write these words, the sun is rising on may 25th, 2022. another day of mourning in america after another mass shooting at another elementary school. as we pray yet again for those whose lives have been torn us under by a troubled soul wielding a deadly weapon, it seems important and necessary to me to say as a christian pastor that we try to find reasonable ways to reduce gun violence, and that is not political. it is moral. the church needs to have a moral compass which can tell the difference between that which is politically partisan and that which is moral. otherwise, our fear of being political may, at times, make us fall silent concerning matters which we should not be silent. as martin luther king jr. once widely said, the day we fall silent about the things that matter is the day our
