6:01 pm
a presidential farewell. you as president joe biden has addressed the american people for the 1st time since announcing that he will not seek re election in november. ever since the debate debacle last month. bite and has been under pressure over his health and doubts about his ability to beat donald trump. back in front of the cameras for the 1st time since biling out of the race to be re elected for joe biden laid out the reasons for his decision. democracy, you know, a racial weeks has become clear to me. i need your 9 my party in this critical endeavor. i believe. i recognize president i leadership in the world. i vision for america. search is all married to the 2nd term. nothing. nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. that includes personal ambition. so
6:02 pm
i've decided the best way for it is a past the tours from new generation. as the best way to unite our nation pressure on biden, to step aside, had been growing since lots many democrats felt was a disastrous based performance against the republican nominee. donald trump, in june, in the days and weeks that followed very public gaffes by biting boot in tooting coating presidents savanski of ukraine. president putin led to more calls for him to buy lived of the race attempts by biden and his staff to allay fears about his age and cognitive ability. the little to quell the calls for a new democratic candidate to know that he's out of the race fight and made it clear who he wants to see winning the white house in november. just a few months. the american people choose the course americans future. i made my
6:03 pm
choice. i made my views. now. how do i find our great vice president come wires experienced she's tough, she's capable. she's been an incredible partner me laser for our country. one of several important endorsements for coming to harris. the vice president is already busy campaigning to win the presidency, despite having not yet officially being named the democratic nominee. the parties convention is expected to decide that next month. all right, we want to go now the reporters defined as the months he is in washington. jeff, i'm good to see you. it was, it was president bite and said last night, but rather what he didn't say would you agree? it's yeah, i would agree. um, uh and you know, the, the reception of, of his speech of this address is fairly positive because of that,
6:04 pm
that was a historic speech. first of its kind and 56 year. so you know, uh, and it was very summer. it was very presidential. it was um, it was everything you had expected and everything the president had to say, but never wanted to say, i guess. because i see admitted to treat admission. and one point dictated him to go for the 2nd term until he was educated himself, i guess with the help of many others that that wasn't an option any more political option anymore. but yeah, absolutely right. this is a joe biden trying to further and protect his legacy and document picture it's power of the people in democracy versus all things considered. trump and what the former president stand for. that's he didn't say, but in those words, but it was clearly a good bye, a thank you very much. and the fight is on all democrats,
6:05 pm
all country in his point of view against donald trump. and you say it was a good bye, but it wasn't a final goodbye. he does have 6 months left in his presidency. does that explain why the address last night was so brief. i mean, his endorsement of cumberland harris also was, was short. and his explanation for why he's dropping out also seems short considering the importance and the history making power of the moment. i think most experts say, and i would actually agree that that was actually is my choice to keep it very brief. 2 reasons for that. a, the attention span of americans is fairly short. uh, and secondly, you keep it in it, keep the context in mind. uh, we had 3 weeks before this speech now of onslaught every day. if you turn on the television, the radio or in case you're still reading, newspapers opened a newspaper. it was all about this. the stepping down is the up for the task and so
6:06 pm
on. it was by and by and yet not fitful, the jump us fits for the job. kenny kinney not and so on. and so on. he released last weekend, you know, it's not a sunday uh the, the, the statement i'm, i'm stepping down from the camera to see for the next 4 years. not as president. of course. um you said many, many important things in this post on ex, for many loaners trader. and that was the right choice to really just, you know, give it a presidential spin plus performance, short, a very distinct and rightful the attention span of the americans. are reporters of hinds emails, with the latest from washington is different, as always, thank you. a we're going to stay in washington is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this continuing his visit to the united states today. he's meeting with you as president barton and vice president. cumberland harris. both in washington is in yahoo yesterday addressed the lawmakers at a joint session of congress where he defended the war in gaza. he described the
6:07 pm
military campaign against him off as a proxy fight with the wrong that must be one at all costs. he also took aim its anti war protesters outside the us capital, calling the quote, the ones useful idiots. dozens of democrats boycotted the speech yesterday. joining me here at the big table now is our middle east analyst shawnee rose honest . chinese get to see you. let's stay with by even here for a moment. he does have another half year left in office. what does that mean for netanyahu? what connects and you all who get from basically a lame duck president. good lined up, but still the president still very much the most powerful men in the world in america. definitely nothing else that appeared in the speech they need is really want as well as if it's one more munition, they need more support. they need also to gain more of public support. they feel you know, for the cause of continuing the war. this is basically what antonio said, you know, if you look carefully of these 50 plus minutes of a speech,
6:08 pm
one word that was missing is deal like, you know, yeah. or, or a ceasefire. antonio has no intention to stop any time soon, and he wants to push on it so that he needs more american support. so he is politicizing support for israel in the united states. unlike any is really liter we've ever seen before. or is that a dangerous path drawing for is real or israel's got a plan and funny enough you will say it's exactly the opposite opponent, you know, uh, exiting israel. he said, i'm going to washington because i wanna encourage and submit the bi partisan support for israel. the fact to we've seen dozens of democratic, you know, a law makers choosing to boy got this. they speech some of the very known ones, like sense of close and so on. i mean, this is definitely as very israel now is a very contentious, a very controversial topic when it comes to the democratic party. and definitely within, you know, democratic and republic, a republicans in this race coming up and he knows it and he is actually playing on
6:09 pm
it in a way to today he's meeting with the with president, then he's meeting with kimberly harris. and then he's flying down to forward and then meet with former you as president, correct? trunk trauma. yeah. don't forget them. of the discussions with these 3 politicians . how different will they be different cuz we're talking about 3 complete the personalities with 3 different attitudes when it comes to israel. i think they all acknowledge that is real is too big of a topic to ignore. and this is why, for example, we see camera harris still going to meet with, with an attorney out of despite the fact you technically for scheduling the reasons . but maybe for other reasons, chose to not attend his speech. i do think she's going to make it clear that she's not another job. i don't think she needs to distance itself because it's part of her path in defining who she is as the future president as a candidate. it's also a party where she stands. we've seen her statements about israel, their immense casualties in gauze, and so far more critical than finding in barton has said himself is a, he's
6:10 pm
a and it's a, i mentioned it again in a speech. he is a true zion is he's one of the old guards, remember israel for many years has been, you know, going to is really engaging with his are also in his former roles. is vpn industry that's and that's for so many years. that's something you wouldn't hear for a couple of years. it's also something you would not hear from donald trump. correct term from thank is more instrumental. you know, he wants to see the new lease quiet. he wants us, he's solved. he doesn't want too much trouble. he's been mentioning it again today and comments saying, i really want as well to wrap it up very quickly. i think he doesn't want this hawk mazda blending on his plate on his, you know, a presidency. he has a lot to deal with. the way he sees that not to mention the stand where you know, where the public and then on american intervention is versus isolationist, you know, stand right now, this is also part of the republican in their debate and he would rather err on the more isolation decide rather than, you know, to intervene too much, did we see last night and is really a leader who was definitely saying all the right things,
6:11 pm
not just for the republican, super listening but also for his coalition partners back home who were listening. oh definitely. that was his main, a crowd, you know, this was it, noon time and us a and us times. and in israel, this was prime time. this is all the news channels. we're owing tuning to that, of course, building up expectation throughout the day. and this is what he wanted to deliver himself missing out in his element the, the statement with the respect and the clout and the standing ovations again and again. and i think he will probably realize soon enough that this is not hold for too long. there was a lot of disappointment so well i figured that, you know, he did not bring enough substance enough progress when it comes to the med issues. it matter for many israelis, which is a hostage deal. so it might give them a slight bump in the polls in the immediate term, i'm not sure how much going to help in the long run, so it's always good to have you here at the table with your analysis. thank you. that's all right, here's a quick look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. israel has recovered the bodies of 5 more hostages from gauze. these really
