just needs to figure out when. >> this hot topic on radio. >> critical thing. i want to see them debate i don't think biden's statement today was the last word on this subject. in fact, i would imagine there may be some people within his campaign were cringing that he gave that answer because they weren't quite ready for that look, as expe spencer said i dot think biden is with it. the reason for that i can assess is because look how many things need to be choreographed for him. everything about his existence in public is handled, including today this report from axios that he is surrounded by white house aides as he walks from the white house to marine one in order to block the camera's vision of how frail he is. he is even reading notes off the teleprompter indicating that he is supposed to pause for audience effect. he says pause when he is just supposed to read it. that's an issue and going to be a big problem in a debate against a guy who is clearly able to handle the stresses of immense day including at a courtroom all day every day. >> mike: first full week of president trump in court. , this is in context of a presidential campaign. what else the impact, spencer?

>> it's been interesting. i think to some people watching this it's not easy to watch because there is no cameras in there and don't have live audio. interesting to here how the tabloid industry works we haven't gotten to the crime this whole trial was supposed to be about. there was a lot of hyping how this trial is going to start and this is again the end of donald trump he will never recover from. this we still haven't gotten to that point yet where we are talking about the crime where this trial is supposedly about. >> mike: olivia, your thoughts on trump and biden both being in new york city today. not near each other so much. and, of course, the president state away from columbia university with all the protest. >> well, i feel like with donald trump the issue with him not being able to campaign. is he dealing with all these legal issues. and that's something that democrats finally feel they got a win on. he can't, at times, speak out. he has to sit in a room and be spoken to. and, you know, meanwhile, his competitor, president biden is going around doing interviews. and, you know, and campaigning.

biden did not go and weighed wade intothe messy columbia enct issue. that's something that he sort of tried to stay away from. it's a thorny issue for democrats. it's not so much an issue for republicans. >> vince your thoughts on the impact of former president trump being stuck at the courthouse all week? >> as olivia points out democrats feel like they have a win keeping trump in court is a pathetic commentary by democrats on the fact that they don't have anything to sell the country. they don't have a good message to share. what they need to do is demonize to muddy this guy up. it's -- the spencer mentioned it there really is no crime that's being laid out in a court proceeding. how you cannot lay out a crime in a court proceeding? the only way that happens is if democrats have become comfortable demonizing a political opponent, using the justice system to wound him. and i think more and more americans are recognizing this is deeply unfair. democrats worry that trump is

succeeding with cameras on him at those courthouses. >> mike: okay. there's also the question of presidential immunity. something president trump has been arguing. and let's put some headlines from different outlets having varying views on the potential for trump's scotus case. "wall street journal" justices seem open to some immunity from trump. "the washington post" high court poised to reject trump's immunity claims. blogger, weary supreme court could extend trump's immunity bid past election. let's get around the horn quickly on that. >> i'm one to not try to guess how the court is going to rule. i do think there is a larger thing happening here with the supreme court is going to continue to be attacked by democrats schumer. the decision after the dobbs decision leaked and decision came out there is a lot of pressure on the court that i think is unfair and unnecessary. i think however they rule on this is only going to throw more gas on that fire. >> mike: olivia, your thoughts? >> what is fun we will be able to see which headline is right when that ruling eventually combings down. you guys be careful about overly

interpreting what you think the justices might be leaning towards. we have seen mistakes like that in the past. but, i think everyone is watching to see what that might mean because it will have a huge ripple effect on a bunch of other matters. >> mike: vince, your thoughts. >> the gravity of this decision is immense. this they rule in favor of presidential immunity, what they are really say something they want to bring stability to our system. you can't have vindictive prosecutions of political opponents. several of the justices brought up if there is no immunity whatsoever. we may get a cycle where presidents pardons themselves on a proforma basis when they bore to leave office so the other guy doesn't prosecute against them. that's a third world. the court needs to do whatever it can to stabilize our great country. >> mike: rethinking my decision going to law school after seeing how much impact court cases are going to be in this campaign potentially. let's do winners and losers. do you want to lead us off, spencer? >> i would be happy. to say my winner this week the university of florida president ben sasse for showing what real

leadership in a campus setting can look like. while this chaos is going on columbia university and michigan is he showing it doesn't have to be that way. my loser this week is white house press secretary karine jean-pierre the white house there was a failed coop attempt to get rid of her she somehow survived. >> mike: i was shocked to hear that the university of southern california canceled graduation ceremonies. these kids have missed out a lot of senior year. probably started college year in laptops. so your florida example is an interesting one. vince, your thoughts? >> well, i think the winners this week for me were seeing the union guys out in new york who met with donald trump and were enthusiastic about that. it wasn't that long ago that it would be an odd image to see union workers, trade guys who were out there supporting a republican candidate so enthusiastically. not so anymore. i would like to see a flourishing debate in american politics. and loser adam schiff. the guy had his luggage stolen in san francisco this week a city run by democrats and is he running for a democrat senate

seat. he doesn't really want to talk about it very much but is he down a suit. >> mike: olivia? >> my loser would be tiktok after president biden signed the sell or ban bill that made it through congress. and my winner is at this table. mike emanuel who was inducted into rutgers hall of fame. congratulations. >> thank you very much. great honor and you surprised me. thankful. i'm touched by my alma mater and thanks very much for your kindness. i appreciate it. and i'm exercising my prerogative as brett's fill-in with my own winner this week. it goes to dr. eve dutakim the chief of cardiac surgery at children's national hospital. he and his team at doctors and children's are taking top notch care of bret and amy's 16-year-old son paul who had to undergo emergency open heart surgery yesterday. it is his fifth. this one was unexpected. but, as you can see, paul is already up and walking. is he hitting all of his marks
