Hi, this is Jen Rubin, and this is Jen Rubin's Green Room.

It's only Tuesday, and it's already been a very eventful week.

On one hand, you had President Biden, who's given back-to-back

speeches on democracy and the threat Trump poses, which I really think should remove many of the

doubts that people had, that he wasn't up for this election, that he doesn't understand the stakes, that he wasn't

going to bring the fight to Donald Trump. These were two very strong speeches, one in Pennsylvania,

close to Valley Forge, and the other at the AME Church in Charleston. And he was quite adamant

that this is really about what kind of system we want to have.

Do we want to have someone who thinks he's a king?

Do we want to have someone who doesn't respect the choices of the American voters?

Someone who said he wants to use the military against peaceful protests.

Someone who wants to use the Justice Department to punish his enemy,

someone who wants to execute the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Biden was very strong.

He sounded good. He looked good, frankly. Maybe he needs to go to St. Croix more often.

But he looked great. He sounded great. And he certainly made his case. And it was a good

way, I think, to start off the election year for him. Meanwhile, in the D.C. Circuit case,

or the D.C. Circuit, rather, the decision by Judge Chetkin that said Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution went up on

appeal. This was what they called a hot bench, meaning that the three-person panel was very

active in questioning the lawyers, and in particular Trump's lawyers. And to put it mildly, it did not go down well with him,

their assertion that Donald Trump or any president

can do whatever he wants, commit any crime in office,

so long as he is acting within his office
