The weak and dishonest here and we got a little business to take care of so thank you for joining us this afternoon. I martha maccallum. Back in new york city this afternoon and this is the story. Breaking by the minute now you have more democratic lawmakers calling on president biden to step aside. There s 31 now. 9 in just the past few hours. There s a reported growing sense in president biden s inner circle that the game is over. But he says he quote is looking forward to getting back out on the campaign trail next week. His team sending a never die message. Watch. The president is in this race. He says the time and time against me? seen some slippage in support but it s been a small movement. People are not moving from joe biden to donald trump. What they are doing as they are saying to us katie do and the president saying yes, i can. We are entering a pivotal 72 hours. Carol mark ware see is that this way. If biden does survive this weekend the pressure will shift every democrat c
We were told donald trump rewrote his own convention speech in light of the assassination attempt last saturday. In the end and perhaps to no one s surprise, couldn t get there. Instead of disciplined, we got rambling with trump delivering a 92minute so lil kwi. Instead of a message of unity and bridge building, trump fell back on old grievances and a dark vision of america. Axios reports, quote, the new donald trump soothed and silenced the nation for 28 minutes and then the old trump returned and barked and bored america for 64 minutes more. It was that, at that 28minute mark, that trump seemed to lose his battle with impulse control. It was billed as trump s golden opportunity to rehabilitate his image and it spiralled out of control. We re not going to make you relive all of it. Watch this. They re coming at levels we ve never seen before. It s an invasion indeed and this administration does absolutely nothing to stop them. They re coming from prisons. They re coming from jails. T
Front row. Dana: giving me a hard time. John: gabby petito s boyfriend brian laundrie is a person of interest. There is new body cam footage of officers responding to an incident in utah. Dana: she and brian left new york on july 2nd. A week later they were in utah. She was last season in a hotel in salt lake city, utah on august 24th and place aid final call from wyoming.

You can t have a more frustrating situation. The one who doesn t care is the one who is supposed to care about her the most. Dana: that was gabby petito s stepfather. We will speak to him in a moment. First to florida with jonathan. Gabby petito s fiance brian laundrie still is not speaking with investig
For the best. The fencing around the u. S. Capitol is about to go back up, days before a rightwing rally, as police today arrest an armed neonazi blocks from the capitol. Welcome to the lead, i m jake tapper. We begin today with our health lead. While president biden s new covid vaccine or testing mandate on businesses continue to face fierce opposition from some republican governors, a new cnn poll shows that the majority of the american people support these mandates for workers, for students, and for everyday public life. And now we re learning that the biden administration is expecting to make more announcements in the fight against the delta variant, as the death count keeps climbing up. Now averaging 1,600 covid deaths a day, 1,600 in the united states. And more than 100,000 hospital beds are currently filled with covid patients nationwide.

Bruce springsteen putting their loss into song. When i see you laugh again i ll see you in my dreams. President biden and the first lady attending the memorial. In shanksville, pennsylvania the first lady laid a wreath in memory of the people who overpowered, the heroes who overpowered the hijackers and spared the intended target. They defended ending the war in afghanistan and that was born from the attacks.
