5:00 pm
cleaning giant statues of the late leaders, which was also very strange. it was like six 6:00 in the morning and we'll just call to clean some dust out from this monuments after morning chores mandatory usyk lessons sometimes the people in foreign just to sing propaganda songs about like the great leaders of north korea, kimmel's son kim and kim jong and basically we were forced to speak the song as well. >> but i think we're like he korean, but they would translated into russian he says even the video games had an anti-american theme. >> they were like driving tanks like destroying the white house in the u.s. it reminds me of this exchange with two north korean campers playing that same video game what do you want to fight your fight the
5:01 pm
sworn enemy americans. what if i told you, i'm an american? do you want to shoot me to yes. lesson from kim and putin to the next generation. will ripley, cnn, taipei? >> well, thanks. well, i mean, it is just fascinating to see that student and his own words. and thanks so much to all of you for joining us. ac360 starts now tonight on 360, carl bernstein with new reporting, one that chuck schumer, the senate's top democrat, is frustrated by what he sees as president biden's digging in his heels over staying in the race and to the seeking to assemble a small group of top democrats to see the president and his family for a full discussion of his political viability also tonight was supporter and fundraise for george clooney. >> now, telling the president to quit the race. the effect other big money donors could have on president biden's choice. plus the very latest from the uk worse suspect is now in custody in the killings
5:02 pm
of a mom and two daughters, possibly involving a crossbow good evening. just 24 hours ago, president biden appear to have beaten back the doubters in his party. and it seemed that these would be the words for democrats to live by. however they might actually feel as i've said before, i'm with joe doesn't do democrats in a difficult position that was senate minority leader chuck schumer tonight, there's new reporting that suggests his words may not have reflected his true feelings about the president's campaign. >> it comes by wavelet, legendary investigative journalist and author carl bernstein, who joins us shortly, calls reporting comes on and ties into a day that began with a warning delivered by one of the president and it's the oldest washington colleagues and political allies, house speaker emerita nancy pelosi, appearing on msnbc's morning joe, she became the senior most democratic lawmaker to signal less than full support for him staying in the race. how she did it was something of a political master class when asked whether he had her
5:03 pm
support at the top of the ticket. this was her answer it's up to the president to subside if he is going to run. >> we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. so that's speaker pelosi suggesting but not flatly, saying that the president's statements on monday reaffirming his candidacy either were not or should not be his final word on the subject now, here's the follow-up do you want him to run? >> i want him to do whatever he decides to do. and that's that's the way it is again presumably he has already decided and yesterday it seemed as though he'd beaten back or rebellion within the party and offered at least enough reassurance from most democrats to stay on board. >> today, though, also began with this new york times op-ed piece by one of the president's top hollywood supporters and fundraisers, george clooney quoting from it now, i love joe biden as a senator and her as vice
5:04 pm
president, as a president, i consider him a friend and i believe in him, believe his character, believe in his morals. in the last four years, he's won many of the battles he he's faced. he goes on, but the one battle he cannot win as the fight against time, none of us can. it's devastating to say it, but the joe biden, i was with three weeks ago with the fundraiser was not the joe big the effing deal biden of 2010. it wasn't even the joe biden of 2020. he was the same man we all saw the debate later in the day, new york congressman pat ryan became the eighth house member to say the president should step aside. then a ninth oregon's earl blumenauer, join the slowly growing group of dissenters, also weighing in congresswoman debbie we dingell from swing state, michigan. she offered this when asked about the president's chances in that state i do just want to ask you again, if you think president biden is the strongest person at the top of the ticket to win michigan in the fall? he's the candidate right now over on the
5:05 pm
senate side tonight, some breaking news, vermont senator peter welch became the first democratic senator to call on the president to step aside senator welch saying in the washington post quote, i understand why president biden wants to run. >> he saved us from donald trump wants and wants to do it again. but he needs to reassess whether he is the best candidate to do so in my view, he is not last night on cnn's the source. and are michael bennet of colorado did not go so far, however, he did say he doesn't think the president can win donald trump is on track, i think to win the selection and maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the senate and the house. >> so for me, this isn't a question about polling, it's not a question about politics. it's a moral question about the future of our country as for the president, he's spent the day hosting nato leaders, offering brief ad lib remarks with the new british prime minister, keir starmer, followed by a white house dinner, which just got underway tomorrow. >> what's expected to be a key test, he'll hold a solo press
5:06 pm
conference and we'll sit down with nbc's lester holt for taped interview, which airs monday night certainly a lot to talk about starting with carl bernstein. so carl talking about the new reporting you have about what senator majority leader chuck schumer maybe doing behind the scenes? >> well, first, to say that he is frustrated with biden might oversimplify things. he's frustrated with the whole situation, especially the way the white house, the way biden, the way the first family has dug in and has said that there's no more discussion of this that's the frustration and schumer is hearing from every quarter from donors from members of the senate, from members of the house that he, as a leader of the party has got to do something to see that there is an orderly process in which the best candidate who could best feet and face donald trump becomes the nominee. and there's grave doubt that that person is joe biden, grave doubt among senators of the
5:07 pm
democratic party, grave doubt among members of the house of the democratic party among donors. and certainly we don't know to a t what schumer's doubts our he he's very careful in this masterclasses you called it of being a little bit of a sieve. and in language the way speaker pelosi was also there. but he's frustrated and he's feeling the anger and he's voiced some of the anger to people he's been talking to. and the fact that he the leadership of the house and the senate, the party itself, the donors, everybody has left a little hanging here except for joe biden who says, i'm the nominee, i'm running. and at the same time, it is the greatest secret in the world that has been unsealed. trittyes that there is huge movement against joe biden running in the party right now. and that includes among the
5:08 pm
senators that schumer is talking to and the house members. and so you have it on unprecedented situation here that schumer is trying to keep from breaking open in a way that there is intraparty warfare and his solution, which he sought he had a real shot at doing over the weekend was to convene a meeting probably today or yesterday of three or four people who love joe biden in the senate, in the house, among his friends meet with biden, not ambushed him, but have a full discussion with biden, maybe including nancy pelosi about the repercussions of his decision that he is running in case closed he still wants to do that schumer does. and is intent on having such an discussion so is it clear if that is in fact, i mean, is that something that the white house has agreed to?
5:09 pm
>> do you know nothing is clear and certainly we know of no agreement by the white house to the contrary so far the white house's is the candidate, joe biden said, well, i've talked did he he's people. >> i've talked to people on the hill. they want me to run so there still is no modus operandi to make this happen. and at the same time, speaker pelosi, as we saw today senator schumer, others are determined that somehow there has to be a discussion in which all of these factors can be aired out in a way among old friends. but look the prevailing feeling among members of the democratic members of the house and senate is joe biden is a weak candidate against donald trump. after that debate. and that situation has not changed. and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi know that better than anybody,
5:10 pm
and they're trying to see is there some other way forward? it's very subtle, doesn't lend itself to easy characterizations and headlines so i mean, just i mean, full stop. >> is it clear whether senator schumer believes a biden candidacy could still be victorious in november i, have never heard him say one way or the other and i doubt that he did. he would catch himself being uttering such a thing all, right carlos stay with us i want to bring in former clinton white house press secretary joe lockhart, cnn political commentator, former biden white house communications director kate bedingfield, also former obama speechwriter jon love. >> co-hosted the pod save america podcast. gate for some what's your reaction to this reporting from carl well, i think the biden team has a problem on their hands. i mean, i think they thought that they had the hill under control. it seems like that's not the case. obviously, we heard speaker pelosi giving sort of
5:11 pm
leeway this morning saying let him get through nato. basically putting the conversation back on the table for friday, i think one, of the things the biden team i think needs to do is to be a little more forward-leaning about putting their case on the table, put some data on the table that shows the path forward. i personally looking at the publicly available data, don't think that this race isn't winnable for joe biden. i think it is winnable for him. i think enough of his voters are sticking with him, even as you see so movement in the polls, i don't deny that, but i don't think the race is out of his grasp. i do think that his campaign team needs to do a more aggressive job of giving people, showing people the path and showing them that they believe that he can win. i feel like there's been sort of a defensive crouch over the last couple of days, and i think that some of well, this intensity and fire that's been aimed at hill democrats who are raising these questions needs to be, needs to be read channel the anger and the frustration is there because people are afraid of a second donald trump
5:12 pm
presidency because donald trump is somebody who went out this week and said again that he was proud that he overturned roe versus wade it's a real fear and that's where the anger is coming from. and i think that the campaign would be better served by channeling that anger and saying, we also want to beat donald trump. here's how we do it. come get on board, and then turning this fire that's been turned at the hill toward donald trump joe. i mean, does tonight field different than last night? i mean, all the rumblings on capitol hill, nancy pelosi and tv this morning, the george clooney thing, not that he's a leader of anything but you know, clearly there's a lot of donors who are very upset and very concerned i don't think it changes much from my scientists and i don't think george clooney, although i think he isn't it clare in the party, you don't think he's a leader in the party. this comes down to, i think the leadership in the house and the senate and i think the reason chuck schumer is frustrated is because it's put his members who are running for reelection in a very difficult spot. if they stick with biden, where they have
5:13 pm
misgivings of how the strength of his candidacy biden might drag them down. they don't know that, but they split with biden and there are still large swaths of the democratic base that are fully behind joe biden and alienating matt group makes it kind of a no-win situation. i think the two important things that have happened in the last two weeks, one is what's one is what's happened. joe biden has any get in the race. he's putting these people in this position, but he's done it for political reasons because he wants to be in the race. he thinks he can win. the second is what's not happened, which is you have not seen private go to public. you've seen a few remembers here and there, but the vast majority, 96, 97% of democrats, have either held their powder or come out in support of the president. the frustration i think is political. and this decision at the end of the day will be about the politics of this situation and how the politics impact each and every one of these members john, you posted online. you said, quote,
5:14 pm
joe biden can leave office is one of the greatest presidents and our lifetimes who defeated trump and put his country first at every turn. or you can leave a stubborn old man who allowed hubris and insecurity to destroy his legacy. and perhaps our democracy with it do you think he or his inner circle will ever be receptive to that argument i think joe biden has seen a lot has defied a lot of low expectations, has been through a lot and is not subject to ordinary political pressure to him. >> great credit. and it speaks to actually the extraordinary success of his administration that he knew when to defy critics, ignore pundits, reject can conventional wisdom and allow himself to be underestimated well then achieving unexpected successes that said i do think what you hear with people like tim kaine, what you see with peter welch, what you see with nancy pelosi is joe biden won't be
5:15 pm
pushed, but maybe he'll be pulled because, you know, joe made a really good point about what we're not seeing. there's another thing we're not seeing which is the full throated full hearted, aggressive, and energetic pick campaign that people who want joe biden to succeed expected he would pursue in the days after the debate, he has done an interview with george stephanopoulos. he's done radio interviews. he's done some events. he talked to meka and joe. right. but the first press conference he's going to do is two weeks after the debate. and so we end up in the worst of both worlds, he is not addressing the underlying concerns, but he is addressing the political concerns of his members by applying political pressure and trying to circle the wagons. the problem is that doesn't address the underlying political reality, which is the vast majority of people are worried. joe biden is too old old and you start to see it in polling, which i do think explains why you're starting to see a reaction from some of these members. cook political report says arizona goes from
5:16 pm
toss up to lean, are georgia to lean are heard it. soda to lean d right down the line, right? that is the political reality underneath all of that political pressure might get jerry nadler to go to the microphone isn't try to unspliced the bagel, but it doesn't change what's actually happening on the ground, which is what is driving this concerns it's not elites, it's coming from voters yes. >> carl, i should point out punchbowl is reporting tonight that senator schumer is released a new statement in response to reports he told donors he's open to moving beyond biden, quote, as i have made clear repeatedly publicly and privately, i support president biden and remain committed to ensuring donald trump is defeated in november so called based on your reporting, i'm wondering, what do you make that statement? you can parse it. i think this is becoming about language when in fact, this is about anger a growing anger that chuck schumer is aware of that nancy pelosi is aware of that the leaders of the party are aware of the donors are aware and they have anger is did we have
5:17 pm
a nominee. these democrats are saying, who is not up to the where he needs to be in terms of physical ability, cognitive problems and this is not a winning hand and that anger is starting to be felt by schumer especially pelosi, the leaders et cetera, et cetera, and that quote from joe the quote from mr. schumer a moment ago is again, it's splitting hairs, everybody splitting hairs over language when people start to be in the game of splitting hairs, as opposed to a really really strong statement of support? yes, i go all out, joe biden is my nominee. we don't want any other candidate. we want our president to be joe biden. that's not what we're hearing. this is parsing and so that should be telling us something so i mean kate, you
5:18 pm
know, the president well, if if schumer and nancy pelosi and some others from the senate and the house went and had a meeting with president biden. >> does that have impact? >> well, obviously respects their perspective. he served with them for a long time. he cares what they think ultimately though this is a decision that he is going to make, as i think john said, he's not going to be pushed out of the race. he's been abundantly clear about that publicly. and i think look, i believe he has reason to feel that way i mean, he can make a really good case for why he is the guy to beat donald trump. i think a lot of the poll to john's point, what about the cook report in the stays in the swing states? >> you're not seeing any none of this polling is showing the race moving out of joe biden's grasp. and also crucially as we're talking about this kind of idea of pulling him off the ticket and subbing someone else in vice president harris or anyone else they're polling
5:19 pm
doesn't look dramatically different right now either. there isn't a magical solution, there's not a magic wand that democrats can wait put somebody on the ticket who was going to sail to the white house. there's going to be their god that person is going to face the full brunt of donna of donald trump's negativity. they're going to face, they're gonna be the brunt of paid advertising. i mean, there isn't an easy answer here. i think as democrats are weighing this, they need to think about the fact that this isn't an easy swap. and i think in joe biden you have somebody who again, i believe is more than capable of making the case. i think he needs to get out there and do it. i think he should be out there seeing voters three times a week. i think he should be making a really aggressive case. i think he can do it, but i think we need to see it kerberos thank you very much. everybody else stick around, please, where we're going to have that continue the discussion next new reporting and democratic donors in limbo along with their checkbooks also tonight, young voters and what they have to say about president biden's campaign

5:24 pm
race. >> he is deeply influential and effective democratic fundraiser. tonight we have new reporting on how the president is difficulties are bearing on the larger search for campaign cash. cnn's kayla tausche joins us with that. so what more are have you learned about donors concerns well, anderson, donors concerns began the day after the debate. >> they started to show up in a residential fundraiser in new jersey that raised just half of what a fundraiser at a similar venue raised a week before the debate and donors at that time began pausing some discussions about forthcoming events that were still in the planning stages to see how the dust would settle. and today learned that at least one event that top chicago donors were planning as a luncheon for there's some of the windy city's wealthiest to take place the week of the convention, they scrapped that because the host couldn't decide on a path forward and there was too much ambivalence among their network. and now there are fears that with no clarity on the path forward for democrats in the words of one major donor everything is frozen what about small-dollar
5:25 pm
donations? the campaign says that those have continued to be strong in the weeks since the debate and to be sure, our sources tell us that small-dollar donations have continued a pace, but it's says, high dollar boldfaced names that are responsible for really generating a lot of momentum in the mid level the national finance committee types and the donors just below them. so it's really in the middle where if the the campaign loses momentum, that's where a lot of the funding would come from. anderson and that's we're hearing from some donors in that class about they're they're frustrated it with what they've heard so far from the campaign and even the president's participation in a call earlier this week was seen as just not enough kayla tausche. >> thanks so much. now, the former president and what he makes of all this year's what he told fox is brian kilmeade today about wanting the president to stay in the race the lp could carry it on. just as we planned for him back now
5:26 pm
with joe lockhart, kate bedingfield, and john love it. >> john, you know, what is your argument to those who say, look, there's the alternative? this are not necessarily polling any better than the current president why then should change be made first of all to kate's point, i would say that's a very legitimate argument. nobody knows everything. everybody should be talking about this with openness and generosity in humility is a very difficult situation i think the issue is right now kate is also right when she says that these are polls that a campaign can turn around. joe biden has an excellent campaign around him. he has an incredible, smart group of people and a great apparatus around him. the problem is right now, i think the real doubts are about whether joe biden as a candidate has the capacity to be the messenger we need right now, right? like it is true,
5:27 pm
other candidates don't pull much better against donald trump but we're counting on the idea that they'll do politics, that they'll go out there from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 pm and make their case that they'll be able to carry the message cogently, coherently, directly clearly over and over again. every time without us feeling like we have to hold our breath when they do so, like if joe biden can do that, if he can get out there make the case fine. great. i would love that. i think joe biden has been an excellent president. i think he's a decent and courageous man the problem is right now, he's not using the torch or passing the torch. and that i think is the main problem. if if he's not going to do the former, then i hope he would do the latter. i say that with the same uncertainty and anxiety that everybody has who understands the stakes and cares about what happens joe, what do you make that argument? >> because i've started to go ahead, kate go ahead. >> look, i was just going to say i look, i broadly agree with almost everything john
5:28 pm
said there including the very key point that we to talk about this with humility nobody has a crystal ball. and what happens is people wind up getting so worked up on their own opinion and their own belief that they tune out all of the other information that's critically important to making a decision like this, which by the way, we are facing somebody who is running for president on the republican ticket, who believes so we shouldn't take our democracy seriously. i mean, there couldn't be a bigger threat to the things that we love as americans. then that this is incredibly serious moments. i just want to underscore what john was saying. i think there is from everybody, every democrat who is concerned what they, what they all share is a desire to beat donald trump. i think the question is just, how best do we get there? and i think that's an okay conversation to have, but i also think that's going to come a point where we have to align behind the nominee and go get donald trump joe to the argument that look, the president supporters said though it was a bad debate
5:29 pm
night there's no reason it wouldn't happen again, there's no reason to believe wouldn't happen again, given everything we know and everything, we have seen is it worth that gamble? >> i mean, what if this happens again, to kate's point about somebody making the case against donald trump joe biden could not make that case on that stage face-to-face with donald trump and this was a debate that his campaign wanted and set the rules for so i think you've you've said it right. >> which is it's a gamble whatever we do, we just don't know. and the question is, what is the safest choice? and i think what's missing in this debate, and i hope we can turn this way donald trump, donald trump is the it's a black swan and in american politics, the rules don't apply to him. and we have to think as a party and as americans, that as we get closer to the eye, the
5:30 pm
antidemocratic ideas, the anti-choice ideas, the radical views that we keep hearing, and sometimes nonsense we're hearing. what actually become the centerpiece of this campaign. so the gamble is that we spend a month or two precious months trying to debate within the party who is the best candidate and not taking that case to donald trump. but i think you're right. and i think we have to remember that it isn't a gamble on joe biden. it's a gamble with anything we decide and the debate hurt. but any race that donald trump is and is not over until election day john, it does seem that the one argument essentially the argument boils down to with the gambling, the belief the roll of the dice, that there are enough people out there who are just scared or angry or do not like donald trump and will vote against donald trump you know
5:31 pm
even, if they have deep, deep concerns about joe biden, the flip side of that is there's also doesn't that gambled doesn't necessarily take into account the people who are just sort of so depressed by it or disgusted by the whole thing that they may just stay home or go for a third-party candidate, which again in these this whole thing boils down to a few a couple of hundred thousand votes in swing states less, right? >> i mean, joe biden is president because of 40,000 votes and the challenge here is the polls have been clear, they've been getting more and more clear. this wasn't about one bad night. i wish it were. i wish you were about one bad night. i was at the fundraiser, the george clooney talks about in that app op-ed, and i had the same anxieties when i saw joe biden out there and i did what everybody was doing at the time, which is i don't see joe biden all the time. i guess this is one bad night and in a
5:32 pm
race that's going to be won on the margins like that. and you see polls with the majority of democrats now saying they want a different nominee, the vast majority of voters telling you that they have deep, deep concerns about joe biden's fitness to the point where donald trump's criminality chaos, malevolence is seen as less of a liability than joe biden's age. if we continue down this path, i hope i'm wrong, gotta be the happiest i'll be the happiest wrong. i'll ever be i'll do whatever. i will. i will i will do a shame bell down the down the national mall and i want to be wrong about that but it but it turns out there we go down this path with joe biden and we lose. we will look so foolish because the, because the voters, not the elites, not the beds, not the pundits, but the voters have been telling us, for a year that they want a different option. and because of what has happened, because of new information, we have the opportunity to pursue that new option and i believe would be foolish not to at the very least have that debate and
5:33 pm
forced joe biden to either campaign aggressively to prove that, to prove, but he deserves it, or to give us a chance with somebody else that is what this is about. >> but here's the question which go ahead. well, let me just ask you a question which a lot of people asked me and then you can either choose to ignore it and say, what do you want to say? whatever i can't tell you how many people have come up to me over the last couple of days and said, what if barak, obama and michelle obama and hillary clinton and whoever else went to the president and raise their concerns privately behind closed doors. what do you say to that i look, i think he's been concerns by the way. i think he's been very clear about how he feels about this and the fact that he wants to run and that he believes he can win. i don't think, you know, he's somebody who will always listen to the people he respects, but ultimately, he is going to listen to his his own
5:34 pm
belief about where the politics of this is going. his own beliefs about whether he can win and he's going to make that decision with his team. i don't think that means that he was gonna put his hands over zeros and not hear arguments from people he respects but look ultimately at the end of the day. he and his team are going to make this decision. but one quick counterpoint i would say to what john was pointing out. yes, that's been true in polls for a year, people have said he's too old, but they've also said they're going to vote for him and so that is the that's the conundrum here. i mean, we're talking about polls that are head-to-head, 1.2 points, margin of error yes, they're raising these concerns, but they're also saying donald trump's not acceptable. and i would vote for joe biden and that's an important data point as we're weighing the back-and-forth here kate bedingfield, joe lockhart, john love. >> a good discussion. thank you so much. next, one of the first democratic lawmakers to call on the president of bow out what congressman seth moulton has to say now about former speaker pelosi's comments today in the op-ed by clooney one second,

new reporting tonight from our carl bernstein, senate majority leader, chuck schumer, is frustrated and wants to meet with biden for a frank discussion about his candidacy. this again, is vermont peter welch, vermont's peter welch becomes the first democratic senator to call for the president to step aside. also today, pat ryan and earl blumenauer became the eighth and ninth house democrats go public and calling for the president to end his campaign my next guest was one of the first to speak out massachusetts democratic congressman seth moulton. i spoke to him earlier congressman, where do things stand tonight from your perspective, obviously, the president and the white house are insisting that he's staying in the race while, the president has to insist on staying in the race because he's all in until he's out and i think that's why a lot of democratic leaders are all in with the president until he's out as well. but for those of us in the rank and file who represent the concerns of our constituents and in my
5:40 pm
case, just want to be honest with people about how i feel we need. what about what we need to do to win this race against donald trump? i think you're going to see more and more come out in favor of a change at the top of the ticket i've spoken to a number of very big money donors who are dismayed about what's going on, want the president to step down, how crucial was what speaker pelosi did today? in terms of buying concern democrats some more time to express their skepticism of the president's chances of winning this is all about winning. it's all about defeating donald trump because of the stakes, not just for our party, but for our country. in this election and there are concerns all across america in the democratic party about the president. but it's taking some time for leaders to come out and say what i said a few days ago was just the honest truth that as painful as this
5:41 pm
is as much as i respect joe biden as much as i love the work that he's done as a president as a senator for decades, we need a change. we need to change so that we can win but despite the fact that this has taken some time every single day it's going in the direction of change. a few more lawmakers come out and so i think you're going to continue to see movement in this direction over the course of the coming days. it's not going backwards. >> well, i mean, jerry nadler yesterday seem to go backwards. >> he seemed to kind of reverse reverse himself saying biden's the nominee. is there anything that president biden could do to change your mind at this point of strong showing at a press conference tomorrow, for instance, his interview with lester holt next week, would any anything like that make a difference he needs to reverse the polls. >> that's the bottom line. he was losing this race coming into the bait to the, into the debate. and he's losing much worse, especially in the key states that we need those
5:42 pm
battleground states that are so critical in a presidential election and that's the that's the end of the day. he needs to win those states. so unless he does something to fundamentally change this campaign, to turn around his fortunes to show that the polls are moving in the opposite direction then i don't see how we can win when you have a strategy that's leading you towards defeat, you don't double down on that strategy. you have to change your strategy ever since that disastrous debate, we haven't heard anything from the white house or the campaign team about how they actually intend to change their strategy, change their approach unfortunately, it's just been more of the same and i don't think that one press conference is going to make that much of a difference what do you say to democrats who say, look, the debate was a bad night stop talking about this. you're making it worse he is the nominee and talk about donald
5:43 pm
trump what do you say to those democrats? because i'm sure you hear from constituents who are outraged i do hear from constituents who are outraged, but i haven't been stopped by more people on the street and years who just come up to me and say, thank you for being honest because you can't tell the american people to deny what they saw with their own eyes. i don't think anyone wanted to see the spectacle at the debate, but we can't unsee that now. it's forever in our minds and it's going to be forever on the airwaves because of course, republicans will repeat it on tv between now and the election so this is a tough spot and i'll tell you, anderson on a very personal level, it was a very difficult decision for me to decide to go publicly against the president after days of making phone calls in private behind the scenes, trying to convince his inner circle to make a change.
5:44 pm
joe biden has been a personal mentor for me in politics. he came up in campaign for me after my first contentious primary. he is someone who used to have me over for breakfast when he was the vice president to mentor me as a new member of congress. so this was not an easy decision but i firmly believe it's the right thing to do for our country. it's the right thing to do at a time when the stakes are so well, hi, when the alternative to a democratic president is someone who incited a mob to storm the capitol, something that's never happened before. in american history, we can't get there. and that means we have to make some tough choices right now as democrats, we need to show the country that we can lead, that we can lead change and that we can make the change we need to when i was on seth moulton, thank you for your time thank you. anderson coming up a ground level view of the problems of president biden is facing among young voters in one of those battleground states, the congressman moulton just mentioned, pennsylvania, we'll take a look and sugar
