Today on Velsche, a political split screen with President Biden hitting the campaign trail

like it's a normal election cycle, rallying union support in Philadelphia, speaking not a single

word about the rolling legal drama surrounding his chief rival.

On the other side, Donald Trump's legal team scrambling to get security clearance so they can

properly defend him against an historic 37-count indictment.

Plus, why Donald Trump's defense against a damning and painstakingly detailed indictment

is a lie, a distraction, and a dangerous sign of what's to come.

I'll talk about the true threat of a weaponized federal government

with the longtime political strategist Peter Fen, who spent the post-Watergate years investigating

abuses of power at the highest levels of government as a staffer on the storied church committee.

And among the many Americans who do not want to see Donald Trump win back the White House

are a good number of Republicans, even though most of the ones running against him wouldn't

even express that sentiment out loud. But there's a growing fear of an overly large Republican primary

field or a third-party spoiler candidate throwing the election to Trump. Today, I've gathered

three Republicans who have previously run for

president against Donald Trump. The former Congressman Joe Walsh and former governors, Bill Weld,

and Mark Sanford will join me to talk it all out. Then, if you know what Juneteenth is about,

then you need to see my interview with the force of nature that is Ms. Opel Lee, the educator

and activist who made it happen. If you don't know what

Juneteenth is all about, then you definitely need to see this interview because now more than ever,

this crucial piece of American history must be taught, learned, and commemorated. Velshi starts now.

And good morning to you.
