flooding more than 130,000 people without power throughout the hour. we're going to bring you live to the texas coast for the latest updates and forecast very good morning to everyone. i'm jim sciutto in for kasie hunt today and it is great to be with you this is the week that could make or break joe biden's reelection bid. a growing number of democrats that was small number is now questioning his capacity to serve a second term. many in private, some out loud sources tell cnn house minority leader hakeem jeffries held a call on sunday with ranking democrats and at least six of them expressed opposition to biden as the party's nominee. republicans mark to takano, adam schiff, jim himes, joe morelle, jerry nadler, and susan wild. five others have already spoken out publicly against biden representatives. lloyd doggett, seth moulton, raul grijalva angie craig, and mike quigley on this broadcast. at this moment, president biden remains defiant, refusing to even acknowledge the dissent

within the ranks several prominent democrats are still on the fence waiting to see if biden can indeed weather the storm, but they all agree the president needs to do more to combat voters skepticism i love joe biden. i don't know that the interview on friday night did enough to answer those questions. and so i think this week is going to be absolutely critical. i think it is not going anywhere. he has been strong in saying that in the last day or two, he's not going to be pushed out. >> he should take a moment to make the best-informed judgment. and the judgment is run then run hard and beat that sob white house sources described the mood in the west wing is grim the full house democratic caucus will meet on tuesday, one senior member told cnn that could be the de the dam breaks, but we haven't seen it yet. >> let's bring in matt gorman,

former for senior adviser to tim scott, presidential campaign. meghan hayes, former special assistant to present biden and alex samson, national political reporter for axios meghan. where do we stand here? because because there were moments last week when the washington chattering classes who were often wrong said it's over for biden, it's not clear that's true. >> no, i think that he's doing what people are asking him to do he's spent the weekend campaigning. he did the interview, which was a net neutral for him, and then he was out campaigning. he spent entire day. he was in wisconsin. he talked to reporters under the wing. he was doing ocr is talking to voters. he gave a speech at a rally like he's doing the things that are people are asking him to do. so now and he's very clearly said he will not drop out. so now we have to wait and see he has a big week week nato is in town. he has a press conference on thursday. so this is a make or break week for him. do you i mean, you've been doing a lot of reporting on this alex what is the actual mood inside the party as to whether he should stay in the race. >> well, it's completely divided. i mean, i think if you put them on truth serum, a lot of them would probably like for him to withdraw and step aside.

now because of concerns about their own elections now and concerns about him like hurting them, hurting them and hurting the party in november. but also, i think concerns about what happens after november if he wins. and i think real concerns about his age and about his mental fitness, four-and-a-half years from now. the other thing i was talking to someone who's known joe biden for a very long longtime has worked for joe biden. and the thing that you have to remember that as you're probably going to see a lot of democrats come out and say exactly that this week, especially with congress back in session. but thing is job, i may not care the thing is that it is a commandment within the inner, inner circle. joe biden's world, the he is the most electable person against donald trump, which they see he has an x central threat and he's not going to get out unless he is shown conclusive evidence that he no longer has the most luck. yeah, it's interesting he doesn't care, but he may, he may care in the sense that the more folks say get out, he digs his heels and even deeper into biden personnel. we have a rich hedge fund guy being like, i'm not

going to get my money anymore, that nothing could make joe biden wanna campaign even harder than that. >> mecole woman. what. are republicans want here? it's not their choice, but what do they want? >> i mean, we're ready for whatever i think we thought. if you asked us maybe a week, go without lucky camo is gonna be a fait accompli as of yesterday, i'm certain kind of hit me. he could get this out use the playbook fashioned by booklet and 92, jennifer flowers, trump with access hollywood, where, look, don't apologise, don't back down. not one iota. let your enemies throw you out to the official machinations of power. ralph northam did it as your cuomo, try to do it. if he wasn't being impeached. and look, it's an iron, right? a little twist of fate that he could be following in a way, donald trump's playbook here. but i'm, i always had to laugh because when they folks like the governors are all banding together, yeah, because no one has to share a ballot with joe biden this year, of course, are going to band together. they can say whatever they want congress this week is gonna be so crucial because those would

be the people that could be sharing the ballot language. and you hear its frontline democrats absolutely concerned about the potential effect on the race. >> so you think though that it's interesting that these democrats are asking him to step aside their constituency constituencies voted for joe biden, kamala harris, and the primaries, they're going against the wall. their constituency well but it's still a primary. the primary isn't coming. president kinda like spokesman, lead drivers. it's like it's close to, you can get their constituencies. so when out in cast ballots for joe biden and kamala harris do how did they now like go against what they're people? i think there's a lot better arguments then really, i'm literally is asking okay, sorry. i think that it's hard to compare like a incumbent president primary, it's like saying, you know, george bush when the 04 primary congratulations to george bush i think what it's really going to come down to is it's a standoff, right? if they don't believe that joe biden's going to step aside. they're scared to say step aside. they don't want to get all the cannon fodder but without a groundswell of democrats there's no conclusive proof,

right? alex would ask you because early on it was cnn's reporting last week that the biden team acknowledged that if they saw polls are plummeting his support, plummeting. that was the word and cnn's reporting that he might reconsider the polling. i've seen has been kind of all over the place as it often is. and by the way, when you look at a place like france, you know, you don't, don't invest too much in polls. we learned that lesson a long time ago. but is there any hard data to show a significant robin biden's support since the debate. i mean, depends on your definition significant, there has been a drop of support. >> there is overwhelming evidence that it's a few points here and there, but it is not the floor falling out that maybe we would expect. i think part of that is not necessarily just joe biden strength. it's sort of the trump polarization effect. the fact is that tens of millions of people in this country would vote for joe biden at 120-years-old, over trump's on the ballot. so i think that's also part of the reason why maybe you have you still see him above 40% and a lot of these polls, mega, there's the will he run question and then

there's these. should he run question as a democrat, you worked for president biden you have seen the change and there is a change in the way he answers questions. his energy has quickness et cetera. it's obvious to folks who watch him in public forums should he run? >> yeah. i mean, he's he is the person who was elected in the primaries and he is a person who is on the ticket, an open primary well, it doesn't matter. if they'll primary until i still i just think he's taking it to the people he's going out there. he's doing what he needs to do. he is showing that the debate night was an abnormal event for him eight when he just spent the last weekend out campaigning and talking to voters. so i'm not sure what we want from him. he's never going to be perfect. he's never going to be someone that gets every fact right, or every word right? and it's just i think we have to decide whether or not we want to keep talking about this as democrats, or whether or not we want to continue to so are we want to go back to talking about donald trump? >> i mean this could be the week where that decision is made, at least for some democrats, meghan, matt, alex good to have you all coming up next millions of texas bracing for flooding and possible tornadoes as well as hurricane beryl makes landfall plus

the atlantic season has made landfall on the central texas coast this morning near matagorda, about 150 miles north of corpus christi, hurricane beryl bringing heavy rain, powerful winds, life-threatening storm surge, and flooding to the state, or than 7 million people are under a tornado watch as well including the houston area. >> more than 130,000 customers in texas without power already it will be a deadly storm for people who are directly in that path, just know it's going to be wet it's going to be windy, and it's going to be dangerous. >> do not go out yeah. you often hear that advice. so a storms like this don't go out. it's dangerous. meteorologist derrick van him joins us now, live from port lavaca, texas. he's out there. so we can know what it all looks like. what what are you seeing on the ground? yeah. sharing sharing the dangers of this storm with our viewers this morning, jim. yeah, we are witnessing and feeling the brunt of this first

hurricane strike of the atlantic, 2024 hurricane season and it's got quite a bite to it. a lot of sting to these tropical force gusts that come through the point lavaca region brian located along the central texas coastline. there's already been gust of 89 miles per hour at the matagorda bay inlets, there has been two to five feet of storm surge above normal tide levels. galveston bay at four feet above tide levels now and rapidly rising. i want to show you the current radar and satellites. the storm has moved on shore. that means it's lost its energy source, which of course is the ocean. but it is pulling in a lot of that moisture from the warm gulf of mexico and this is new to cnn. if you're in houston, you've got a rude awakening after a long holiday weekend, currently under a flash flood warning just issued by the national weather service. this encompasses just under three-and-a-half million people. that is the majority of

harris county, which of course includes the houston metropolitan. there has been significant rain that has fallen in and around the houston region that was discussed yesterday from the national weather service houston and galveston that we need to monitor that by use in the houston area. and of course, with the rain that is moved into the region that will be a concern street flooding, rapid rises and rivers. that's why we have the flash flood warning. here's some of the rainfall totals we picked up on. that's over a half a foot of rain along the coastline. and of course it's not done yet. it's nowhere near done. so the potential there for local amounts over a foot certainly exists. here's the radar. we call the right quadrant of a hurricane, the dirty side of the hurricane. there's a reason for that. it's dangerous because it has spin up tornadoes that can format a moment's notice, and they can cause some damage very, very quickly. i mean, aside from the hurricane force wind gusts that are present within this area? the tornado

threat is there an ever-present from houston all the way to the coastline, to the port lavaca, in central texas coast where i'm located as well, that wind threat, this is a new graphic. i want to show you as well, because the national weather service constantly is assessing the situation, updating of the storm on the ground and look at that shade of red from base city all the way into houston metro, that indicates wind because of 74 miles per hour and that's category one strength in houston metro. so we go back a few weeks. remember what happened when the straight-line winds knocked out all the windows and the high-rise buildings that was with winds of hurricane force so if we get a repeat of that today, we know what that did a couple of months ago. we don't want to see that again. now, this storm is a fast mover. that is what one of the positives we have working for us. so it is going to make it'd be beeline towards the u.s and canada border by midweek. this is different than harvey. this is not going to produce 50 inches of rain on

the ground and houston because he harvey and basically meandered around eastern texas for four days after landfall, this system is going to be up and out of here rather quickly and then bring rainfall to the central parts of the country. but in the meantime, the real threats are here along the texas coastline. now, moving inland as hurricane beryl, the first hurricane of lambda, hurricane season here in the u.s. it makes landfall. jessica. right? thank goodness. it wasn't low tide. derek van damme today. safe. thanks so much. just ahead, senator marco rubio trying to shield donald trump from project 2025 plus it's fake blood, but those are real sharks. one of the five things you have to see this morning the republican national convention starts next monday at eight tons. >> cnn one second, you feel

remarkable public comments from members of the president's own democratic party. >> didn't do the airway this week and respond to president biden's first post-debate interview in which he brushed off concerns about his age, his mental acuity yesterday afternoon, a growing number of top house democrats told party leadership that biden needs to exit the race. even some of the president's remaining supporters are warning that he is running out of time to convince voters. and that's key, that he is capable of defeating donald trump this fall i think the president needs to make some moves this week to put himself out there in a position to answer those questions and if he can't do that, then of course he's going to have to make a decision about what's best for the country and what's best for the party by believed that he can do it, but i think that this is a really cool critical week. i do think the clock is ticking my panels back with us now joining us cnn chief political correspondent dana bash also of course, co-host.

>> i've seen on state of the union, hosted inside politics, debt. it has there been a change in momentum here in the president's favor to some degree because towards the end of last week and again let's discount the washington washington chattering classes because they're often wrong, but there was a sense inside the party that the party was moving away from him. is that still the case i think that change in momentum is that the private conversations that have been going on both in favor of joe biden staying in and against joe biden staying in, have spilled more out into the public the fact that you have very senior, very important. >> some, in some cases veteran members and some cases just the people who are the most powerful because they run key committees in the house, sang to hakeem jeffries on this conference call was told it was an hour and 45 minutes, very long so many of them saying, we

believe here it's got to step aside. he's got to do it for not just the best of what's best for the country, but from their perspective, what's best for the house of representatives because many of them said that they believed that he, joe biden at the top of the ticket, it was going to make it impossible for democrats to take back the house i do want to say though, that as much as you're hearing from sort that side of the argument there are also several high high-ranking democrats who are saying no, no, no, don't go anywhere maxine waters, for example i mean, she has been shoes. i think i believe she has said it publicly two. and what has been interesting to me has been the congressional black caucus and also the grassroots organizers and just the grassroots voters, particularly people of color saying do not get out. joe

biden. so he genuinely is hearing both sides of this megan, i wonder though, is he wounded by this as a candidate against tropic because you hear those seth chris murphy, tim, ryan, adam schiff even the ones who were not calling for him to step out or not exactly giving him a full-throated defense and saying he is he's the best candidate, we have to beat to win in the fall? yeah, absolutely. i think he's wounded. i also think that we've spent the last ten days plus and we're going to continue to talk about it this week. we're talking about joe biden's age, and we're not talking about how joe biden can be done i'm trump and the contrast of what that means for the election. so i just think we add democrats are wasting time here if he's not dropping out, we need to just get behind him and move forward and take our target to donald trump and let joe biden run his race and run it with him so i just think that the party at some point needs to just stop all the back-and-forth talking about each other and moved towards the actual person we're running against, which is donald trump. >> and that sounds a bit matt gorman like taking a page out of donald trump's book doesn't it? i mean, there was we talked about his felony convictions at

least as a sort of dominant issue for about three days. i think the verdict we look we think about x time where we were we were we hit every major person the party rationed seem to b, but like a lot of major people in the party saying this openly, he should step down those about a month before election day. but also say this, i don't expect a ton of poles in this case to drop a ton because i always believed that voters had already were ahead of the pundits and the elites. it many ways on this issue. i mean, there's navies news poll earlier this year, the seeds 70, so voters believed he was too old for this. i think in many ways this is a reverse where voters are price this in and recognizing this long before i get kinda came down to the chattering class so for this uniqueness out, i don't expect it suddenly at ten point gap to emerge. yeah. i mean, cnn's paula, i think it was 75% and most recent poll said that democrats should replace them at the top of ticket but it was about 72% of five the numbers right? months ago. so it's not like that's been that's been a

dramatic shift there. alex, you but you've been reporting this aggressive sibley inside the white house. is there a split there to new york times had a piece quoting someone close to biden saying he should get out, but i mean, we don't know how close that actually was. is that it's put inside by there's not a split. the very, very top of the white house. that's what matters. one of the most interesting things that happened on the sunday show circuit yesterday was adam schiff if said something that democrats have been saying quietly for years, which he said, i would urge the president to talk to people that have some distance that our objective and he was basically saying that they feel that the inner circle, this white house, is very scared of giving the president bad news that he is surrounded by a yes man. and a lot of democrats it's about that for a long time. and that was him subtly indicating that and speaking for a lot of democrats and that by the way, it's not just the age thing that was discussed as a vulnerability ability prior to the debate, but that insularity as well. the unabashedly. and i wonder what

that means for the decision going forward. i mean, ultimately it's, it's biden's decision himself and one could argue based on his public statements, is that he's digging his heels in deeper right now in recent days, in the face of this public criticism he is look one of the questions that we're going to see answered probably this week, is whether or not you are going to see key leaders from hakeem jeffries to chuck schumer, to nancy pelosi, to jim clyburn, who was supposed to be on face the nation yesterday and canceled to me, that was frankly shocking because he's not a cancel her and he is incredibly close to joe biden. >> we all know the lore at this point that he saved his candidacy in south carolina why wouldn't be on the sunday shows making a full-throated defense. well, it was on my show a week ago doing exactly that. and the fact that he declined to do so yesterday.

i'm not saying that. that means that jim clyburn has changed his mind. i just it seems to me that he and others are now being a little bit more circumspect as they continue to listen to their members. so that is those are some of the key, key questions that we're going to see answered this week. and i'm not saying that. let's just say hypothetically, nancy pelosi, jim clyburn, hakeem, jeffries, go to president biden's and say it's time to go. i don't know that that necessarily means he would go, but it would be the answer to your question about whether or not he could get outside of his very, very tight very long serving inner circle. that people bring up the nixon scenario, right when senior republicans way the howard baker got it, you got to go very, very different. who might biden, listen to. i think kill us into his family. i think how listen to the advisors in the white house that he has around them. but those are been his long serving people. they serve him right. and 202020 campaign,

you know, people call this dead in the water and they were like, no, we are going to all four states. we have the early states we are doing this regardless if we are in someone's minivan, they were dead set ongoing. i had that conversation, so i just think that they those are the people who will listen to. but he had a gut instinct here. he is not dumb. he knows that it was a bad night for him on thursday. he knows he needs to go back to the voters and make sure to see what to prove to him that they can do the job. but he he he believes in his god. he can do this. and until that what changes. he's not going anywhere. >> well, folks, i'm sure it's on the last time we talked about this question and joining us this morning coming up next a stunning election result, leaving the french government in a state of gridlock with pushing back against the far right there plus life-threatening storm surge, destructive winds hundreds of thousands without power live report from the texas coast as hurricane beryl makes landfall

under a tornado? the watch, including the houston area, coastal residents, are being urged not to underestimate this hurricane. meteorologist derrick van damme joins us live from port lavaca. so often as you know, derek folks underestimate they go out, they say doesn't look so bad, they end up caught in the flooding what are you seeing on the ground there? and what advice would you give to people in the area yeah. >> good question, jim. you're probably noticing that from the last time we talked 30 minutes ago, our backdrop has changed dramatically. the note we no longer have power here at portland, aka, we had transformers over my right shoulder starting to blow earlier about ten minutes ago. so the lights flickered at our hotel in our lab shot location. and now we're in complete darkness along with 130 other hundred and 30,000 other customers here across the central texas coastline now this storm. yeah. the advice to people is that it is not over and some of the most dangerous part of this hurricane is still to come. and i'm looking at

our viewers in houston because you're getting absolutely slammed right now, there is a flash flood warning that has just been issued for harris county, including houston metro. there was a tornado warning issued in harris county just north of the city center of houston that has been expired within the past 15 minutes. but that gives you the breadth of the dangers that are at play here. that are still unfolding as this very fluid situation continues to unfold, basically, before our eyes. so what are those threats? let's get a look at the radar and satellites as still a category one hurricane in so that means winds of at least 74 miles per hour. but there have been gas over 90 miles per hour. matagorda bay inlets those locations near the coastline i have clocked winds and excessive 90 miles per hour. and of course, it's the tornado threat because on that right quadrant of a hurricane that's where we get these spin up tornadoes can come, they drop out of the sky. they last very brief few moments of time, but

of course that can cause some damage. we haven't seen that here in important lavaca lavaca bay directly behind me what you would see if we still had electricity as the waves chopping up and slashing up up towards the seawall that's directly over my left shoulder. and of course, the storm surge threat here, we he have seen 42 to five feet of high tide or levels above normal high tide and galveston bay in particular, we've seen the readings, they're starting in to go up and up as we continue to get that surge of water from the gulf of mexico, which by the way, is directly behind me as well the difference between this storm and a benchmark storm for so many people in this area, hurricane harvey, august of 2017, is that this will be a fast-moving storm, so that will limit not eliminate, but limit the amount of rain that will call from the storm system. so we've already had rainfall totals in excess of eight inches. houston. the airport is reporting just around three inches, but there is certainly more to come and

with the by use that run throughout the city of houston. we could see some potential flooding their city streets. of course, seen some urban flooding. and then the rapid rise prices and rivers as well how much rain is still yet to come? another five to ten inches still possible over a foot and some localized areas. but the difference here with harvey is that that meandered over eastern texas for four days after landfall, beryl is going to make its way out of here quickly. and by wednesday and thursday, it's got its eyes set on the border of canada and the united states. so that will be a quick mover. gym they're going down. thanks so much it is 47 minutes past the hour and here is your morning roundup. boeing pleading guilty to criminal fraud charges stemming from two 737 max crashes that killed some foreign 346 people. the doj found a company, violated an agreement that had protected from prosecution for more than three years boeing also must pay a fine of 243 million to avoid a trial just a

gridlocked. but did head off a takeover of sorts by the national rally, the far-right party president emmanuel macron's centrist ensemble alliance captured 100, 163 seats. the far-right finished third after a really strong showing in the first round, french prime minister gabriel or tau tendered his resignation sunday. although macron is asking him to stay on while while the far, while the leader of the far-right's at the country has been thrown in instability you see tonsil swab, the philippe tell you in all seriousness that the private millions of french people of seeing the possibility of their ideas and thoughts are represented in government will never be viable for friends. >> three, unified left has shown to just capable facing this historic event and it has scuppered the trap which was set for the country soon as nic robertson joins us now, live from london and nick, you know, the expectations going into the second round of parliamentary elections that the far-right was going to be anointed in effect as the new power in

france. >> they didn't happen if finished third i wonder what the reaction is. you're hearing from france and the significance of this reaction from europe as well. and in london, a french really value their position as an important country in the eu, worth an important voiced, able to sort of lead discussion on a number of issues whether it's ukraine, the suggestion from macron that they should, there should be nato troops on the ground inside ukraine and a training capacity only those sort of forward leaning positions are now under threatened and we've got a reflection of that today, heard across europe the deputy german chancellor cena, this is a relief. frankly that their heart rate haven't made it enum won't just be able to disrupt the eu in their way. but this is a worry he said for the french and for the eu, we're going to miss if there's a hung parliament in paris and if the president finds himself hangs strong by a parliament that's not aligned with his views, then this will affect france's position globally as

well as in the european union. relief, we heard that from the, from the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez, who, who noted, look, france and britain actually had just voted in quite left-leaning governments, just like we did he said in spain last year. so he said that's a good thing, but i think perhaps if you want to get a real cross section of the flavor, you get that in a tweet from donald tusk polish prime minister. but what not so long ago, he was the commission president of the european union. any put it this way. he said in paris, enthusiasm in moscow disappointment in kyiv, relief. and that's enough to make warsaw happy it's a mixed bag here, jim. no question. but you're taking together, you look at the results in the uk and again, all politics is local, right? so their host of local factors that lead to these results that conservatives out in the uk, a surprise defeat for the far-right in france and poland, only very narrowly, right, the

moderates, they're defeating their own far-right party. i'm there has been so much concern in your ababa about the rise of the populist, right? is this a sign that, that concern was somewhat overblown i think it's i think it's a signal that whatever europe needs to do to be ready for an increasingly popular, right? they have a little bit more time, but i don't think anyone is going to at least then france and probably in brussels is going to think that this is all laver by, by far, look, marine le pen's party came out of this way stronger than the last elections. not quite doubling their vote and their representatives. but this is significant for them and look at the german chancellor as well. his in his inner difficult coalition, a fractious coalition the push to the right in european politics is there, and it's real. and if you want to see a real exponent

of that, look at viktor orban, who has just taken over hunger has taken over presidency within the, within the european union six months rotating presidency. what has he done? he went to kyiv. he went to moscow is just then to beijing. it'll be pitching up in washington in a couple of days. and his messages essentially let's look at a new path for peace with russia over ukraine. and it's not representative the european position, but is pushing himself in that position. so the right-wing has a real ability here to play a destructive role for the unity of nato. the unity of the european union. and as you know, jim, those are the real strong values you have working as a block of countries. to overcome non-democratic forces in the world's your question, of course, or ban makes that piece purchase russia has just pummeled ukraine across the country with this missile attack get robertson in london. thanks so much all right, so

back here in washington this week, president biden will welcome dozens of foreign leaders to the capital for the nato summit i'm about to host the nato nations in washington we put them together. we've done the world's looking to us, not a joke. the world is looking to america not to carry the burden, but to lead their hopes. >> let's take is also high for this president. he is hoping to e is concerns that he's no longer fit to run for reelection after the first presidential debate last month, cnn reported several foreign diplomats described his performance as quote, hard to watch now on the world stage, his every move will be even more highly scrutinized. my panel is back. good to have you, sarah, with us as well. i just wanted from a media standpoint, you had the debate 50 million some odd people watched it. you had the abc interview, 8 million. it's a fraction you will have a press conference on thursday at the nato summit for the president here, which might get gather

more attention, but do any of those get the media platform that the debate had for him to show his sharpness, fitness for office, et cetera. know it's going to be very hard for him to offset that and i'm looking at foreign coverage right now because you have all these leaders coming in, they want assurance the nato alliance remains strong they have been covering this at nauseum, the debate performance was front-page headline news. >> even we have the ft here in front of us today. there's a headline bright here about democrats and joe biden. so they're paying very close attention here because for them, the debate really resonated. they're not watching all the smaller rallies in places like raleigh here. the press conference will be big, but jim, we want to see unscripted remarks from the president and typically with these types of press conferences, you have a teleprompter results than maybe he'll take q&a from press we'll be watching to see if he actually does that. >> i mean mega, this is the problem, right? because europe was already worried prior to the debate about biden's chances, they're genuinely concerned about about the possibility of a trump return.

here you don't have a lot of opportunities like the debate for him to store a sense that he's got it all under control here. i just wonder given the stakes that he himself places on this, he says that this election is for the soul of the country, for the constitution, for democracy is he the best candidate, right? it's either best candidate to lead that charge. yeah. i mean, he has said that i think that he is he's met with these world leaders many times. here's just the d7. he was just in france. he has them all here. he does nato every year. these leaders are not new. they're not new people to him. they understand who he is. they are very grateful for what he's done for them. he strengthened nato by two additional country. they are doing a lot for ukraine. they are doing a lot for the strength of nato. so i just think the president is doing what everyone is asked him to do. he is out there talking to voters. it's out there taking unscripted questions from reporters. see, have they press conference on thursday? this will all come out and do time, but he is the best person right now and he has nato here and i don't think that we should be you know, jabbing at the president and we have 30 plus countries coming here on the strength that he has provided for the world, that there's

genuine concern and nate, i was spoken spoken to nato liters and officials that have trump's reelected. he will take us out of nato if he doesn't formerly take the u.s out of nato, there's some questions as to how congress, what its voice would be in there that he would effectively defying the alliance by just not coming to the aid of nato allies if they were say, attack by russia under article five, is that true? >> when you have to ask them, i mean, i think the new york times came out whenever there had talked about members actually in the trump team's very proud of the fact they were one of the editorial board member is near agreeing with the trump campaign on nato and european allies, shouldering more of the burden and i think when it comes to what i'm expecting from this week is what we've seen a little bit peppered in the coverage i've joe biden, the fitnesses stuff from d-day, stuff from the past. does this nato summit ignite a new round of leaks are and we know i was sitting next to joe biden. and do you've seen that i think that is a talk of what i'm hearing from folks around washington is does it's ignite more stories in

that regard, right? alex, i mean, listen, you can have 1 million opportunities. but if each opportunity doesn't kill the questions, i mean, joe biden's not going to change suddenly, right? he's not going to get younger i just wonder there's this constant looking for the next chance to dispel concerns that are lasting concerns. and frankly, building concerns. >> yet like the age of the one-way street. and i think that european leaders, there's two things. one is european leaders may be concerned, but luckily for joe biden, none of them vote and wisconsin, so the second thing though, i think the reason they are concerned and you're going to see i think mats, right. you're probably going to see more and more leaks. the wall street journal right after that debate landed a story with lots of diplomat saying that he's seen in than focused at times and meetings. yeah. he he was reading from notecards and i think european leaders are also looking at posts november, because they while they, a lot of them don't want donald trump to win. there are also concerned about what does this mean when you have a president who is going to be 86? in 2028,

what does that mean for them? yeah. i mean, this is the ongoing question, right. because it's a question not just about sara fisher. is he the best candidate to run now? you see the best candidate to run the country for the next four years. >> yeah, and that's what a lot of the headlines that i've been reading about and foreign press are trying to get at particularly as it pertains to nato, one of the questions that everyone is asking is do joe biden has been a unifier of nato? is he equipped to be able to continue on that mission four years out, we don't expect this war in ukraine greene to decimate anytime soon. and so they're going to need that support. and then the other question is, let's say joe biden is not the nominee strong enough to defeat donald trump. what does natal look like in a trump world, as matt says, only time will tell, but we do know that pulling back some of that support is absolutely on his agenda, and i've spoken former senior trump administration officials who said he will pull out of nato. will see thanks so much to our panel. appreciate you joining us on this monday morning after the long holiday
