hi, bret. bret: this is america s newsroom. 36 hours of chaos threatening vladimir putin s grip on power. mercenary group that was supporting russia in ukraine turning against the kremlin and marching towards moscow. dana: the rebels were members of the wagner group. their leader called off the revolte at the 11th hour. not clear why. his whereabouts right now are unknown. ukrainian forces taking advantage of the chaos. they are reporting gains against russian troops in the east. russian defense minister is making his first public appearance since the revolt doing little to quell speculation that putin is in serious jeopardy. much of his longevity is tied to what happens inside ukraine. he knows full well his future is dependent on what happens in ukraine. i don t see him admitting that he made a terrible mistake here and pull all his troops out. you see a real public perception going against putin. he doesn t have a strong sense of being a strong man anymore. see
[cheers and applause] he spends so much of his time as president on vacation, we might as well make it permanent. harris: the man we have yet to see on the campaign trail, joe biden, is out front in the democrat primary. it has been more than a month since the re-election announcement. is president biden going to hold a campaign event ever? so i will say this to you, peter, as you know, we follow the rule of law here. you can t say if he will be campaigning for re-election. i am not going to comment from here. another story harris: it wouldn t be a wednesday if she didn t mention the hatch act although she does talk politics as times. the woke stuff comes up. the former president still has a sizeable lead over the governor from florida. but six points smaller than earlier this month. this washington examiner piece sums it up. the pre-game is over between the two. desantis taking the opportunity to throw a jab at trump. he used to say how great florida was.

is. most of the people probably are. many are younger than he is as well. bret, i think the continued strength of robert f. kennedy junior as well as the continued interest level in mary anne williamson is an incredible indictment of joe biden s candidacy now. i m sure you saw over the weekend 68% of poll in an nbc poll said they didn t have faith in the mental or physical faculties of joe biden including 43% of all democrats. which makes me wonder, as strong as rfk junior physically is and as strong as his campaign has been, which i believe has surprised a lot of people. what will we see a gavin newsom or gretchen whitmer or prytz guerre, someone who is a governor and looks at the weakness of joe biden and announce they re challenging him. if that happens, i still feel like, bret, i ve been talking about this on my radio show.
blinded by their positions that they don t seem to mind that you have blood running on the streets of chicago. harris: literally, sadly. illinois governor prytz guerre launched another safety reform this weekend. unarmed crisis and prevention response unit that using 30 plus peacekeepers to provide essential assistance and de-escalation, conflict resolution and crisis support. washington examiner reports that one of them is actually charged with aggravated battery for a robbery friday night. oh wow. op-ed asks how many reforms does chicago want to try before letting police do their jobs? jason. i love that because we re trying to find a whole bunch of different programs to address an issue we already know what works, allowing the cops to do their job. harris: which what we just said. exactly. the idea we send in social workers to de-escalate these
