thank you so much, reverend sharpton. a big show indeed, i am alicia menendez. welcome to a new weekend of american voices. with our country now in uncharted waters with the federal indictment of donald trump. this hour, the former president is going to make his second public parents it today. stopping in north carolina. we are not going to air his speech live. but we will bring you any news that he makes. we expect his speech to mirror his remarks, just hours ago in georgia. the former president, the only president in u.s. history to be federally charged with a crime, firing up his base. acting without a care in the world. repeating his same tired lie that his indictment is a product of a deep state witch hunt. instead of his own misdeeds. which we learned yesterday, not just hearsay, but caught on tape, and on camera. well trump can go out and say what he wants, the rubber meets the road this tuesday in miami. where this country, and the world, we ll see him face federal
attempts to take taiwan by force. doug luzader has details. hi, doug. doug: this emerging trade pact is called the framework for prosperity, but other headlines are emerging and the white house had to clarify a surprising comment the president made about taiwan. you didn t want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons, are you willing to get involved militarily for taiwan, if it comes to that? yes, that is the commitment we made. doug: that sounds like a major change in policy for the u.s. the white house very quickly issued this statement denying there was any policy change. the president said our policy has not changed and reiterated our one china policy and commitment to peace and stability across the taiwan strait to provide taiwan with military means to defend itself. the president made news speaking about the u.s. economy, no longer talk about transitory challenge. president biden: our gdp will grow faster than china s for the fir
these new federal charges are not the only legal issues faced by mr. trump. he s been charged in new york, related to hush money payments. and as pleaded not guilty. but those are state level crimes. so a presidential pardon is off the table there. the cause in the constitution limits a presidents pardon powers to offenses against the united states. commonly understood to mean it federal offenses. reporter: down in georgia, mr. trump also faces an investigation belt around his 2020 election fraud lies. he denies any wrongdoing there. but the potential to pardon himself would depend on the specific charges the district attorney might bring. and whether they were to involve multiple states, or jurisdictions. say, georgia, along with d.c.. again, it s that federal versus state difference. once it becomes federal, then there is that possibility of a presidential pardon. so that s a reason to keep things in state court, if you re the state prosecutor. reporter: bottom line, could mr
president says americans are facing. cheryl: president biden continues his overseas trip. he s now in japan to launch regional plan that aims to fight back against china s influence. when ask about what is happening at home economically, here is the answer. president biden: our gdp will grow faster than china s for the last 40 years. is recession in the united states inevitable? president biden: no. cheryl: i got to point out real quick that we had a negative read on gdp in q1. not to correct the president of the united states, but i have to point that out. americans are facing $5 plus. right now look at this, $4.59, likely to climb above $5 soon, guys. griff: down in georgia, the
federal takeover of state elections. even democratic senator joe manchin is warning is he not 10t efforts to adjust the filibuster. very conscious what we do. i hoped it would come to every american has a right to vote and should be protected. one person who does support all of this, is former presidential candidate hillary clinton who says it s time senate democrats adjust the rules to protect americans right to vote. as you mentioned, the speech is going to be happening today down in georgia, a state celebrating a national championship but one that has become the ground zero in the deat a time over voting reforms. this is fascinating. we have learned that democratic activist stacey abrams, who is running for the governor of the georgia will not be at the president s speech today. she says her staff says she has a conflict not elaborating what that will be. we are seeing other civil rights groups skipping the president s remarks saying they want him more aggressive in getting t
