poll numbers in the debate and a top holster for the biden/harris campaign is going to join me for an exclusive interview here in studio. nancy pelosi is standing by theç president and firing back at donald trump. nancy pelosi will also be here in just a few minutes. and later, trump s supreme court repairs to rule on trump s claim of. better late than never, i guess. and some thoughts on why the real damage has already been done. done. okay. okay. let s start with the obvious. joe biden had a very bad night on friday. not joe biden himself would tell you that he had a good night, or they shouldn t tell you that. remember, the biggest concern from the president from the moment this re-election campaign darted was about his age and his ability to campaign effectively. ■ç the campaign wanted to have a debate early to shake up the race and silenced those concerns. instead, the president made the much louder. and his performance, or lack thereof, also completely overshadowed
for staying up with me. if you if you were brave enough to open the new york times this morning and you turned to the opinion section, this is what you would ve seen. thomas friedman, joe biden is a good man and a good president, he must bow out of the race. ■ç frank bruni, biden cannot go on like this. nicholas kristof, president biden, i ve seen enough. this evening, the entire editorial board of the new york times published this op-ed, to serve his country, president biden should leave the race. mr. biden answered urgent question on thursday night, it was not the answer he and his supporters were hoping for. if the risk of a second from term is as great as he says it is, his dedication leaves him and his party only one choice, the clearest path for democrats to defeat a candidate defined by his life is to deal truthfully with the american public. acknowledge that mr. biden cannot continue his race and try to process to select someone more capable to stand in his pla
it would be outrage. it s insulting and shows what he thinks of us and he does think of us. i come from new york like he does. every chance he got including central park five he supported the criminalizing of plax. he called for the death of five innocent black men. that s what he thinks of us. the irony he has someone sitting there applauding it. while would you tell president- elect benefits have benefited under your four years in office. he cannot say that because it didn t happen. as you look at that scene yesterday. barbershop set up in donald trump not there calling in on speakerphone and saying what he said yesterday, what you see in that? what i like to say is not appropriate for national television so i will say this. and reverend churchman is sitting there. what i see there is folks love to throw the term pandering around when it comes to democrats and black voters. what donald trump is doing is a level of insult and pandering and out not sure about who he
can love who you want to love, that is going to be joe biden s america. let s talk about the fact that this fool wanted to tell us about black jobs. let s be clear. donald trump does not understand black culture. what he is doing is playing in our faces and he has got people he wants to sit up there and throw out his little tokens and be like, hey, look at my little black friend. that is essentially what he does. at the end of the day, i need people to choose themselves. if everyone is saying, the economy is number one, please y tell me why you would vote for donald trump when he refused to answer any economic question. he has no plan come he never has had a plan, and the only plan he plans to follow is the manifesto that has been laid out in project 2025, that believes that the ei is the end of us. that means people like me, people of color, women, that is a problem for them. they want to excommunicate us. they are trying to give the keys over to the white supremacist, as we
welcome to the saturday show , i am jonathan capehart. this week we marked indelible inflection points in the 2024 election and the state of our democracy. on thursday we watched the disastrous debate that has the nation fearing like never before another trump presidency. not going to lie. biden s performance in atlanta was as horrific as it was sad and now democrats are in full panic mode with calls for the president about out of the race for someone younger. but donald trump s performance was as horrifying as it was terrifying. he put on a campaign rally filled with his usual avalanche of lies, projection, and ■çfail threats. then on friday the supreme court, the one with the 6-3 super majority thanks to trump s one term presidency, handed down decisions that were further exhibits of why elections matter. it throughout a 40-year-old ruling that gave rural agencies the power to use their expertise to determine policies when the law is ambiguous. that will not be in the h
