hannity it's been a rough week for joe biden with 1 bad headline after another on tuesday his son was found guilty and convicted on all charges for his federal gun crimes on wednesday the present flew to italy for the g-7 summit it safe to it was marked by bizarre gaffes and embarrassing blunders according to a report the trip was such a disaster raised an alarm among her allies with 1 insider saying he lost focus during discussions before calling it the worst he has ever done in. in a nonu.s. attendee telling his son the missteps were embarrassing and do keep in mind its happening while russian warships arrived in cuba hundred miles from the u.s. mainland for military exercises right by the state of florida. our adversaries are watching this embarrassing president and when pope president visited the summa earlier today biden greeted him in an awkward way with the forehead to forehead and brace and it looks like it has left him looking a bit surprised let's not forget what happened at the white house celebration earlier this week as biden appeared to completely freeze everyone around him was dancing before delivering the is a gaffe filled her remarks. >> president joe biden: closing doors of opportunity attacking the values of diversity equity and inclusion. banning books about black experiences erasing and rewriting history these black soldiers enslaved those wrists arrives -- lies in every war since the founding of our ideals freedom can never be secured. [ ♪♪ ] >> elise he found his way out the stage think any of the translator for remarks i couldn't quite understand him that was far from the only disaster behind the podium this week during a press conference in italy with ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy he snapped at a reporter and completely lost it from playing by the rules take a look. >> i have approved question for president zelenskyy on announcements but i like to talk about you discussion about the situation in gaza you asked a short time ago with the demonstration there can you give an assessment of the hamas response in do you believe they're trying to work towards a deal or as a response working against the deal what is your message to allies including those at the g-7 of what more if anything the u.s. can do to drive towards this thank you. >> wish you guys would play by the rules from here to a critical situation in ukraine. >> the reporter broke the rules remember the white house corresponds association fired back after the outburst saying at a presidential press conference at home or abroad there are no preconditions regarding question topics adding insult to injury on his disastrous rico disturbing new report with pictures and all alleging biden repeatedly watched as dogs tête's secret surge service agents is a reaction from a former presidential candidate i'm stunned by this moment with the reporter he was asked about gaza and not typically couple entry of the press corps go watch my 2020 press briefings they asked some good questions and biden totally exploded news to biden you're about to meet donald trump in d- 14 days get ready buddy. >> the reality is it's embarrassing as an american to see this is the commander-in-chief president of the united states and for leader of the free world as we know it it looks like a lobotomized president in the white house today regardless of parliament affiliation the 13 day for now debate either he steps up and surpasses that's the final hurdle they're making them jump up to for a mission forgetting this getting the dnc nomination if he behaves like how we did at the g-7 we will look at a new nominee. >> interesting you're a brilliant communicator probably 1 of the best we have in the party at the moment he stood on the debate stage going toe to toe with others that were low expectations for biden at the state of the union he jumped over those low expectations to think whatever he did that enough it was a red bull or whatever the routine was kenny jump over the same hurdle on a debate stage or is it a different dynamic. >> a totally different animal using vocal cords to scream at the television screen compared to being able to think on your feet engaging with the heart of what everybody said american people in a one-on-one debate should be able to see through it as president trump's been doing and asked outstanding job as this being there from the south branch to the libertarian convention in dc where i was as well those are audiences where republicans might not be traditionally comfortable sleeves warmed up and is perfectly ready in a comfortable circumstance accusing reporters a breaking of the rules his words not mine asking questions going out of the script the will probably use every thing of the power to make biden look as good as possible on the cnn debate but still the second purpose is to service the final hurdle where if he fails even the easiest of tests i think there's a real possibility for another democratic nominee this summer. print stevens at the new york times wrote a piece that if biden wants to win he needs to step aside you had the atlantic call him ruth bader biden insinuating he needs to learn when to exit yet bad comments about biden and his abilities. there is a call from the liberal press and some on the left has so it happened they have a disastrous situation with pressure how does that look. >> it's between then and the convention realities happens before the convention they said in august the other side knows what they are doing. they get a nominee to early that's enough time vetting and if they're swapping another nominee right around the time of the convention it's a best case scenario and it's not necessary going to happen this is the earliest presidential debate in american history the first ever to my knowledge ask yourself why they are doing that might weigh the democrats needed to condition of biden debating. yes to skate to where the puck is going that's why it's so important we have to stand for our own vision i spoke in detroit earlier today and i think it's great when republican show up at inner cities of this country my message to that group with regardless what puppet they put up we have to decide what we stand for as conservatives and as americans that's how we win the election. not by fixating on biden because it might not even be in. >> do they leapfrog harrison sibley else comes in? >> that's a difficulty because the smartest decision biden made was selecting her as vp however i think it be able to sidestep the prom but is making your vp again at least a going of another candidate who checks certain boxes of the modern democrats she's in charge of ai policy i'm pretty sure she can't spell ai and most democrats see that so i think have a greater intellect than either harris or biden which is a lobar thank you as your bite was convicted on 3 accounts does anybody believe he won't commute the sentence will see if he changes his mind when there are no political consequences and they spread express empathy if the biden's what they've had to do if with hunters addiction. >> a tough situation for the father to situation for a brother. it goes on whether it's alcohol or drugs or whatever it might be it's a tough loan for any family as she's great to as bingo bull's-eye good answer from trump exactly how we should handle this in a debate. >> we should expect this from trump's biggest superpowers affect these genuine it is not to think about where the polls are going for him it's very personal sleep would know his brother died as an alcoholic and may trump promise on his deathbed to not indulge in drugs or alcohol and the president agreed and said i won't do that embraces brother and said he would follow that rule making him the man he is today arguably making them a person who i think will be seen as 1 of the basket presidents and country history he understands what it does to a family he doesn't weigh whether it smart or not to be empathetic or whether he should have said something me and which is what the biden's to president trump on his birthday like you're not going to be petty he gets it that same empathy also informs policy decisions ending taxing on tips yet the care about the american people and once again the forgotten man and woman when it comes to policy the ideas of what you can do as president the kind of personal dynamic matters of policy leadership caring about the american people as you see if the biden administration and democrats of you don't like americans you will do bad things to them and that's what we're facing right now. >> love the most revealing items to come out of the hunter biden trials was further verification of the laptop which you been on top of since day 1 i was banned during my 10 years present secretary for tweeting the story and there were crazy people liberal media saying things like this take a look. >> it will expose who is it useful idiots for the russians. >> does it surprise you this information he's peddling very well could be connected to some sort of russian government disinformation campaign. >> we know this whole smear and joe biden comes from the kremlin that's clear well over a year. >> to me it's classic textbook russian craft at work. >> here's what i want me there is a steal dossier was the russia laptop will there be a another version of this game with any intel community this go around. >> of course there will be for sure we don't know what it is yet and it's been interfering with the elections longer then we know. 2020 and 26 team at the russia hoax they are so afraid a donald trump they think he is an exessential threat that's what they settled us with for joe biden and we'll do it again whereas he just said whoever they decide is there next person we talk about useful idiots for those who showed on screen useful idiots of people of schiff and the democratic party and there's 51 former intelligence officials here specifically on the orders of the biden campaign the senior advisor now secretary of state we know now the instigated that with 5 former cia directors and all of their chums mostly from the cia writing that letter to dishonestly mostly -- falsely say the laptops and the stories were russian disinformation. knowing that it wasn't specifically to give joe biden a get out of jail free card and it worked for them. has donald trump is a lot more knowledgeable and not as naïve as we all were back then. now i think everybody's eyes are wide open that nefarious activities of her own intelligence community is turning its weapons supposed to keep american people safe. >> at those useful idiots in the press that they got pulitzers for the russia reporting. now back to the debate biden is going to sequester at campo dated -- camp david to prepare and they think is debate preparers are really off-base anticipate meeting a trump being wild and unscripted loose with his words they also said this about the hunter story in particular the president learned of the conviction whether white house miles away his team at a series of conversations campaign had kate quarters to discuss aftershocks of the verdict according to 3 biden officials which is the interesting part the general belief is that it will not change the trajectory of the race but will likely be a focal point of the upcoming debate with donald trump if they read any reporting trump is not going to make hunter a focal point were they preparing to meet on stage. >> receive this nonsense and the lack of the connection with reality within the team itself of course it's manifesting in national policy international policy willingness to put biden in the situation needs in with the g7 in italy things that they are willing to do seeing themselves as confused as president biden so at this point with trumpets to figure out in the early has because again this is his strength he knows what he believes in and knows what he stands for he knows what the problem's are as you noted not his unaware of the nature of who these people are buddies made a final commitment to this country for this race knowing what it would do to him he's got the wind of our support at his back helping him tremendously but the biting team not just joe biden not like he has a team of geniuses backing him up in the midst of all of this the same cadre is more useful idiot who think they are the power of the universe that we don't need a president the bureaucracy can do it the obama people can do it and my goodness they have no idea this is what we see flailing and we will see this in the debate trump needs to be prepared as he always will be you'll be himself because he's only 1 as a vision he will be fine. a former president trump continues to unite the republican party at of november left continuing to hurl vile insults not at him but him and his supporters take a look at 1 former and msnbc host had to say >> the real promise not the party itself its voter subscribing to the parties 74 million them last time around this time trump ahead in the polls not by much according to a report tonight, biden plans to announce an immigration relief program offering legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the unite states because that's our problem we have not enough illegal immigrants. reaction south carolina senator tim scott always wonderful to have you particularly tonight firstly you're in a meeting with former president trump you said it was a unifying meeting we know mitt romney wasn't supposed to be there he ended up coming trump said in the meeting 1 of these potential vice president picks perhaps the pig could be in the room you are also in the room notley that punch bowl reported you are the most talked about person on the shortlist so the question i have for you as its is there a real possibility get that nod is that what you want your portfolio to look like. we know harrises try to be border, voting rights none of its worked what would you want is your issue? >> it's not the who the whether it's me or somebody else it's the what the portfolio the vice president for toys reinforce the priorities of the president donald trump priorities are very simple closing the south border 10 million illegal immigrants coming across the border the greatest invasion in american history we need to have somebody who takes responsibility following in the footsteps of as we know changing the us reduces the number of we know doesn't work is granting amnesty like joe biden wants to do to a whole of hundreds of thousands of people here legally by doing that you only opened the door to bring in more people and attract them next the next vice president to the united states files and don't transfer per steps as it relates to the economy first-time homebuyers are devastated but 7% mortgage rates we know under donald trump inflation was 1 point 4% home mortgage rates were around 30% when he does somebody willing to tackle the economy need to get back to the lowest unemployment like we had under donald trump for every demographic 50 year low for the majority of the population 70 year low for women and lowest ever for african-americans hispanics and asians whoever the vice president is should follow the lead a president trump is done it once he will do it again let me just wrap this up with this crime is devastating the poorest communities in the country donald trump believes in law in order. >> i saw that first hand. senator 1 of the interesting quotes i saw this morning is all the data shows trump is gaining them in the black community going to new heights and let's roll that. >> think biden is doing what he needs to do the land reelection is taking place something is amiss with the pulling i don't know but i do know this regardless of who believes that donald trump we get 30% of the black mail vote 12% that i got a bridge down under that i will sell you. >> what you make of that? >> that bridge leads to 1 of the greatest tourist destinations across country i'd buy that bridge second i would take that bet. i can tell you donald trump can exceed 30% of the black mail vote in america number 1 jobs, number 2 justice as it's faster than the guys the top fact of the matters as employment -- an appointment went down enthusiasm went up as more people into the workforce and it went up under donald trump the exact opposite happened under joe biden we are seeing. >> senator scott i have a hard break but thank you very much more hannity next.
