Switching gears. President Biden's interview on "60 Minutes" is airing now. Tune-in.

"It has been barbaric what he's done. His attacks on civilians and civilian hospitals and old age homes and schools... it's outrageous. The price the Ukrainian people are paying for this war is high. We're gonna stay with them."

-- President Biden, on Putin's war crimes

President Biden confirms he has not spoken to anyone or been briefed about the investigation into Trump stealing top secret classified documents. Basically establishes DOJ is acting independently, without his interference, as they should. Smart.

Pelley: Mr. President, you'd be the oldest incumbent to run for reelection.

Biden: Pretty good shape, huh?

Pelley: [summarizes position of those who believe he's too old to run again]

Biden: Watch me.

Excellent answer by the President. No hesitation.

Pres. Biden doesn't confirm he's running for reelection, cites concern over election laws for delaying decision publicly, but he basically communicates that's the direction he's headed.

"We passed the most extensive gun legislation in 30 years, but I'm not gonna rest until we get the assault weapons ban."

-- Pres. Biden

"I've had tragedies. I've lost part of my soul when I lost my son Beau. I lost my wife and daughter in an accident. I think of all the people who've gone through what I've gone through and without what I had. There are so many heroes getting up every day with no help."

"I ask myself: what would Beau want me to do?"

-- President Biden

I said it several weeks ago, and I'll say it again: Pres. Biden should absolutely run for reelection, and I firmly believe he'll win. Tonight's interview shows this man is in a second term mindset, and thank god for that.
