Biden, delivering commencement address to Morehouse, talks about the car crash that killed his wife & daughter & the death of his son Beau.

"In this walk of life, you come to understand that we don't know where or what fate will bring you. But we also know you don't walk alone."

moving stuff from Biden to Morehouse grads

"The pandemic robbed you of so much... you started college just as George Floyd was murdered... it's natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you... are we living up to what we say we are as a nation?... faith asks you to hold on to hope... that's my commitment to you. To show you democracy is still the way."

Biden to Morehouse grads: "I want to say this very clearly -- I support peaceful nonviolent protest ... I'm working for around the clock for more than just a ceasefire. I'm working to bring the region together ... I'm working to make sure we finally get a two state solution."

Biden to Morehouse grads on Israel-Palestine: "This is one of the hardest, most complicated problems in the world. There's nothing easy about it ... leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problems."

Biden warns Morehouse grads of "extremists coming for the freedoms you thought belonged to you and everyone. Today in Georgia, they won't allow water to be available to you while you wait in line to vote in an election. What the hell is that all about?"

Biden: "I have no doubt that a Morehouse man will be president one day -- just after an AKA from Howard."

"We're here at the beck and call of Trump fanatics" -- Plaskett plays a clip of Bartiromo criticizing Jim Jordan's leadership of the "weaponization" committee during a weaponization committee hearing lol

Plaskett: "No, Donald, even a president can't shoot someone on 5th Avenue on broad daylight and get away with it."

She then takes a shot at RFK Jr, noting that Jordan called him in to testify despite him missing "part" of "his brain"

"You know better and it is shameful" -- Rep. Goldman points out that Republicans and their witnesses are using Jim Jordan's latest "weaponization" hearing as part of Trump's effort to jury tamper

Biden: "Germany, 1933, Hitler & his Nazi Party rise to power by rekindling one of the world's oldest forms of prejudice & hate- antisemitism. His rule didn't begin with mass murder. It started slowly across economic, political, social, & cultural life. Propaganda demonizing Jews"

Biden: "That hatred was brought to life on October 7, 2023 ... the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day against the Jewish people since the Holocaust ... now, here we are, just 7.5 months later, and people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror."

Biden, speaking at a Holocaust remembrance event, is forcefully denouncing Hamas and antisemitism on college campuses and social media

KRISTI NOEM: As soon as this was brought to my attention, I made some changes and looked at this passage

BRENNAN: So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un?

BRENNAN: You never went to North Korea

NOEM: Yes I have. I've been there.

BRENNAN ... you have?

NOEM: There are details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ

"It was largely upbeat" -- VP contender Doug Burgum downplays Trump's remarks comparing the Biden administration to the Gestapo

TAPPER: If Trump becomes a convicted felon, will that affect your support for him?

BURGUM: Well if he becomes a convicted felon in this case, that's just a travesty of justice

TAPPER: It was a little bit more than just checking the wrong box on a form

TAPPER: Does that offend you more than Trump telling a room full of wealthy people that he's gonna cut their taxes? Isn't that buying votes?

BURGUM: I just reject the whole premise of "wealthy donors." The room of people there are all job creators

TAPPER: They're not wealthy?
