10:02 pm
6 million voters of the tune of will actually decide this election. we sought in 2016 when trump course in 2020 when the fight and expanded the coalition and had o of the largest turnouts. it is going to beat tight and i. this election is not up to thepo noise of my best drinking buddies,this elect partisan. what is at stake for the united states and the world's leadership? half the world is voting half of the world dra friday afternoon we the election in south africa half the world great britain is coming
10:03 pm
the u is coming up in june, this month. it's really about america standard in the world. i'm now more thanver we have to think about the stakes for our country. not just in the short term, the next four years. but the lonrm up against 250th anniveary. american and yet our young people are down. it. we have a lot of work to do in this electio season is not just about the elections or polis. it's making sure we can reimagine america's future in the world as well. >> thank for that same question how does donald trumpbt stevenson? as he >> first, before i start we are not on the same network i do not get to spend much time with my panels when your political operative from the south is aspiring television pendant this
10:04 pm
is someone you look up to for their candor and their good humor and their civil discoursed i just want to say it' an to be on the stage with donna brazile today she is fantastic and we up to you. [applause] >> thank you, thank you. thank■be is currently winning theit election of the election were held today, he would win. i look athe map into chunks the sun belt from nevada all cak at the northern blue wal when i a look at the sun belt states i see ahead in all of them. see rfk junior gettinge ballot in some omostly hurting k it's a four -- three for the president are bad.
10:05 pm
so, what is he have to do to win quest ricky is on pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin i looked two of those three are now think trump is ahead in two of the three when i analyze the map ahead. i have not yet fully absorbedllt is likely to only be a marginal im.t trump command center and tracking two groupssenior ck with joeoe biden. they supported him than they usually do democrats, they stuck with him his strength with the are the ones most likely to be offended by a felony conviction or case. and low information voters. people who get very little news and may have only seen a headline trump convicted they may not note the about they may not know anything other than that if i was trump i wouls
10:06 pm
very closely i always blew this a cohort of voters who felon. i'm not sure were going to see that wash in the polling just yet. my view is trump's strength here was simply that the american people basically want to fire joe biden he stuck below 40% job approval.as spent four months ad it's really been underwater sincehe august of 2020 whe we pulled out of afghanistan. he has never been above water ie august of 2021. they are stuck in the mud. in this month of june is anhere of the month they will have a debate i'm interested in the polls today. i am really interested in july 1 ifer consequential month nothing has changed, if i were in a biden headquarters do
10:07 pm
you think there's panic today, asked me in a month. and if i were in trump headquarters i would be thinkinm escaping this quicksand they appear to be in my current v is if it trump stays focusn bidb approval rating is below 40, he will win if the election is about anything else he will likely lose will more thing on tut in the 2000 presidential campaign with george w. bush the paradigm in the republican party has been high turnout helps democrats. our view has always been they will turn everyone out that will be good for them. in this election, it is the eveg you thoughtho you knew about turnt. biden. look at why democrats are winning midterms, off year election specialdt elections because the highest propensity voters tend to beat democrats
10:08 pm
ocratspeople with college degre, seniors the mid to lois lowestpropensity voters tend tol republicans. this election at all likely means that tmp successfully bring out a bunch of infrequent voters people and change the composition of the electorate month am looking for from the trump campaign is can they build an infrastructure that drives turnout as high as possible because if they do, they will win. >> great insight overall election but let's get into foreign policy it is sos well into her leaders from across the country. both the presumptive nominee see some fissures within their parties their respective partieb on foreign policy. let me first turn to scott on this one. scott during consideration of
10:09 pm
the last national emergency spending package■o, there are serious public splits between the republican party on aid to ukraine. and number of related other issues you had the establishmene your fellow kentuckian mitch mcconnell leading a one faction ctsome of the new arrivals into senate and congress may be opposingpp support to certainly more skeptical on america's traditional leadership rolele. given that, how donald trump messaging america's role in the world? on foreignonummer and through the campaign? successful president iso have america bevi viewed as a successful country in the world■ both of these candidates and know that. i do not believe trump is an at some of the people who are testn
10:10 pm
party. very concerning actually.ee is. we'll have out if he wins. but, i think as important as what he might do if you were to be elect, what's happening in the congress is equally if nort. and here is why. the vote on the package was overwhelmingly bipartisan and overwhelmingly showed people ica's role in the world can win these debates. it was not people's twitter feeds may have made it feel like it was close. this is not a debate.■e the american people want the united states to be engaged for they want us to help our friends llandllies for they want us to help ukraine. it's obvious what the want. people will respond to leadershipenate and the house
10:11 pm
speaker. mike johnson deserves an enormous amount of credit for standing up to some of the people in his own conference. so, i took great satisfaction and heart from what we saw in just a poor shot ofight happen in the election. mitch mcconnell will no longer be the leader. but he will be unburdened, le a senior member of the appropriation committee.m knows what a great asset tha believe that we can deter the freedom with hard and soft power. i don't think one works without the other and i am just telling you as mh as what the next w president does, whoever it is, you■t■ire going have a raging bl in the united states senate buyg up the hard and soft power anybody can find. thing.
10:12 pm
i am as interested in these congressional elections as i am anything. you are going toe to see true bipartisanship in the congress on this topic. >> too. on the democratic side it's a little different damic it is sometimes more about the prioritization of foreign policy versus domestic imperatives. the democrats largely got bd boat. but an election year especially were you see democratic candidates and voters coming out on this choice we are prioritizing foreign policy. president biden's vision and communicating on foreign policy to the voter appeared or domestic poles andpo tugs? >> is all the above that's why democrats learned early on in without a strong leader who understands america'sllies, america's needs, security
10:13 pm
interest and america's place in the world you are not going to bebe able to to succeed on the domestic front. the projection of america's power, america's leadership also influence how voters think about that charaer, thedi important tt america's place in the world. we are spending close to $1 trillion including arrays for our military whi warranted. we can have a strong military but as you said we've got to have -- we have to use the diplomatic tools weé needs hard. i want to say something. but after the 2020 eleio have a lot, after the 16 election i traveled i went to germany and france and i ended up in the netherlands. it's always nice to end up in the netherlands. i had to talk about america and
10:14 pm
the elections of course. because i was a democrat and a former chair i would trash the elections donald first of all i'm not going to travel abroad and i'm not going to do it in america and trash e to half of the american electorate just because they disagree with me. it is like whenhe playing i hate falcons but i'm not going to as atlanta. okay? [laughter] you recognize that we are a co other major western democracy. we are having pains i call them growingor pains. when there is no hope. they see themselves as living on the outskirts of hope and they want somebyp bring them into the circle of opportunity. that is what
10:15 pm
that's up am the leader that can help you and your family. i can help bring americans to the future.that is biden's call. if he can pull tha off he will become president again.ething ws isgoing to be with jason.■j and lu with that gray hair i did not know. anderson c [laughter] >> i'm available.

10:16 pm
have a leadingng role in world af when it comes down to priorities it's little different. but the f this is where the majority of americans are. i agree withcott. when you talk about the u.s. growth. you can lead a conversation, engage more who perhaps do not have a great understanding of what is happening abroad. we tend to focus on the politics within our country. the cultura ws and the other great stuff we like to fight about. the reasons i did not want to be on cnn and fox an going to fight with you, i'm sick of that, that's dumb. ieighbors would disagree you grow corn i iger something else, is we wille succotash.

[applause] >> absolutely. go.
10:18 pm
>> this. i thinku? there are people who believe there is political benefit right now to either telling us america is the bad guy in the will or b, america is a diminished power. i see i as two sides of the same coin. buts that is not with american people believe. the american people, she pointed out, by and large believe we are good. we are a force for good andhen e are in it. so you're talking to candidatesh political actors who are being screamed at by the infringers on either of those two fronts, please tell them. do not listens. thepl the francis want you to be are two different places the way forward in any campaign is to believe
10:19 pm
some are conservative and some are a little of both. but the vast majority of us believe in the united staîtes. diminished. we don't believe we are bad.■ and that is where most candidates are going to find su. >> arg spirit of the organizatin you're channeling from this audien audience q&a couple of weeks ago they is that mainstay of the u.s. glc■j stage. to talk about america's role thd

10:27 pm
pennsylvania but the question is panelist, do youy'll be sufficient debate about america's foreign-policy during the■t election given the everything you just talked as a default or obligation of media or is it on the candidates? >> first felt my condolences to your mailbox it is about to be violatedep you andou telephone any other device you have for counicatn. i think and the actual debates which i think they are going t occur. i think there will be d the actl debates between the candidates will feature sufficient topics here. however will make it outside o n is lar going to be spun around domestic issues, economy,
10:28 pm
immigration. and that is going to 90 plus% of the oxygen in the debate spaces. the actual debating arena you are going to hearrt. i think that media will treated fairly. >> if it is a 90 minute debate you might get 20 minutes and the candidates will prepare for 30 minutes. givenn ukraine, the middle■a in, whatever other bullet now and j7 it will be part of the■c conversation but is it a driver? re talking of the economies outside of philadelphia and talking reproductive rights if am talking to young people and talk about climate change. are u probably know this you all so targeted. we know where you live. we know who you we know it your turn out part we

[laughter] i understand, i we are so delighted to have you al i have a question about your perception of a cou things number one you look at were president biden is in word president trumps regarding china there is not a very significant difference when you look at where they a o immigration there's obviously a marked now,re look at international relations and foreign aff.tell t where the similarities are and where the diffees between the two candidates. >> may be one question right now
10:31 pm
differences, similars and trump and■■x >> one similarity is economic posture you alluded to it. biden has adopted trump's view of economic posture on chi. they have different views on interpersonal relations with our liances. ■@but would say this even though i agree not the biggest focus og the issue that sucked to was a foreign issue it was a foreign affairs and matter,t afghanistan. it was not anything else that's the moment when people kind of lost confidence. it might be that if i were in his issues and might think about how to repair that i do not know if it's possible. we do something to think aboutif if you were in their camp. >> think the trade, the tariffse
10:32 pm
so-called executive order that s one is crafted under trump and courts. you cannot get enough and nothing throughthe congress. so is going to play that gam. there is a lot of differences between the two leaders their projection of strength, america alliances. but again forgn-policy is going to matter in the margins but not in the middle.this is ba cocktail ones have taken a lot of our time so far. we have time for close i think right now would be a great panel wish we cou forever but scott and donna many in this crowd are going to go to capitol hill to talk to members of congress about the importance ofiplomacy and development tools and america's
10:33 pm
role inhe different with both of you i am ascot to give advice for these fol meeting with democratic members of congress what would be your advice senior republican operative of what this crowd should say why i'm going to ask for advice for theep. >> a little jiu-jitsu for you. >> my advice honestly would be if you are looking for a role model, john fetterman i were meeting with the democrat right now on pelvis i preferred to myself lately. shown absolute leadership on israel he has listen to the fringes of anybody in our politics. everything but i will tell you one thing that i respond toq5 ad i think other people can emulate his absolutexgkb■ fringes i do not want to hear it.
10:34 pm
