undercutting both the pacific basin as well as europe as it relates to russia and dealing with ukraine. and so, we -- for example, if you want to invest in china, as you know, you know this area really well, invest in china you have to have 51% chinese owner. you have to make sure that you do by their rules. and you can't -- you don't have the authority -- you have to provide all access to all the data and information you have. there was a while there, as you recall, the last administration, and other administrations, where the access to that market was enticive enough to get companies to come in because they had access to over a billion people in a market, not a billion but a lot of people in the

for example the idea they do not abide by the rules related to subsidizing products by the government funding. so guess what. they are not going to build export their electric vehicles to the united states without a significant tariff it. others are doing the same thing around the world. but, it is a concern. it is a concern you have both china, north korea, russia, iran, countries that are not necessarily coordinated in the past looking to figure out how they can have impact. >> to interrupt the impact? >> yes, i do. i am not prepared to talk about the detail of it in public. and i think you will see some of

our european friends are going to be curtailing their investment in russia, i mean, excuse me, in china. as long as china continues to have this indirect help to russia in terms of being able to help their economy as well as, as well as help them as a consequence their ability to fight in ukraine. the other thing we talked a lot about is that -- i raised it. and i did not hear any -- i cannot swear everyone agreed because not everybody got to talk about it. but we haven't -- we knew a new industrial policy in the west. for example, we talked about how both the ae you as well as nato

hass to be able to begin their own munition capacity. has to be able to generate their own capacity to provide for weapons and the ability -- it came as a surprise to some of us how we had fallen behind in the west and the terms of the ability to construct new material, new weaponry and everything from vehicles to weapons systems. and one that came out of this will be meeting again with a number of my colleagues, my european colleagues is what do we do to increase the capacity of the west's -- particularly in europe and japan to be able to generate the ability to produce their own weapons systems. not to sell it but to generate that. it is the same -- it's what rush

is trying to figure out but they went to china and they did not get the weapons. then they went to north korea. we are going to be in a position where the west is going to become the industrial base for the availability -- the ability to have the defensive weapons we need pay thousand a discussion as well. >> mr. president met freelancer and would you be ready to go deal with putin and a president xi two or three years from now? >> i'm ready to deal with them now in three years from now. look -- like i said i am dealing with president xi right now. i am in direct contact with him. i have no good reason to talk to putin right now. there is not much she is prepared to do in terms of accommodating any change in his behavior. but there is not any world leader i am not prepared to deal

with. but i understand a generic po point, is putin ready to talk? i am not ready to talk to putin unless a putin is ready to change his behavior. and the idea -- look, putin's got a problem. first of all in this war he supposedly has one. and by the way, do not hold much of the exact number but i think russia had a 17.3% of ukrainian comp conquered now at 17.4 in terms of percentage of territory. they have not been very successful. they have caused horrible damage and loss of life but they is also lost over 350,000 troops, military killed or wounded. over 1 million people, particularly young people with technical capability leaving

russia because they see no future there. they have a problem. but what they do have control of his they are very good at controlling and running the public outcry that relates to how that use mechanisms to communicate with people. they lie to their constituency. they lie about what is going on. and so the idea that we are going to be able to fundamentally change russia in the near term is not likely. but one thing for certain, if we allow it russia to succeed in ukraine they are not stopping at ukraine. i recommend -- i know you know this because you have written about it. read putin's speech after they moved in when what it was all about. it was not about -- just innovate read what his objective is. and anyway, i think i am

prepared to talk to any leader who wants to talk. including if putin called me and wanted to talk. last time i talk to putin i was trying to get him on an arms control agreement related to nuclear weapons in space. that did not go very far. so, my point is i'm prepared to talk to anybody but do i do not see any inclination. there is an inclination on the part of the chinese to keep in contact with me. because they are not sure where this all goes. look what is happening in asia. we have strength in the asian-pacific area more than anyone else has. we just put together today i brought ana on and i asked might nato allies that we bring on the group from the south pacific, new zealand, japan, australia, i've already mentioned australia. i have met twice not with i think the 14 leaders of the pacific island nations.

and we have slowed down what is going on there. we have slowed down china's reach. but there is a lot of work to do this is a moving target. i do not take it lightly. npr? >> thank you, mr. president. i have two questions. earlier you spoke about the cease-fire plan between israel and hamas. we are looking at 10 months of or i am curious if anything you feel personally you would've done differently of the course of the war secondly i want to ask about presidential campaign there's a moment you refer to your self as a bridge candidacy. a transition to a younger i want to understand what change.

>> i met with to get a consensus going what had to be done. to deal with more aid and food some of the reporters covering all the time he heard me say this. the last first time i sat on te

desk as a system setting next to me pray that's how far back i go for a no israel well.

i was totally opposed to the occupation and trying to unite afghanistan. once we got bin laden we should have moved on. because it was not -- no one is

ever going to unite that country. been over every -- the entirety all the way to the north. i said don't make the same mistake we made. now all this criticism about i wouldn't provide their weapons they needed. i'm not them -- not providing them 2000-pound bombs. they cannot be used in any populated area. that would cause great human tragedy and damage. remember what happened when you had the attack on israel. with rockets and ballistic missiles. [ please stand by ]

>> it's time to end this war. doesn't mean walk away. if you notice, you know better than most there is a growing dissatisfaction on the west bank from the palestinians about hamas. hamas is not popular now. so there's a lot of moving parts have to keep moving to make sure we get as much done as we can toward a cease-fire. and get those -- by the way, look at the numbers in israel. my numbers are better in israel than they are here. they are better than a lot of other people here.

>> you refer to yourself as being a bridge candidate for a younger, fresher generation of democratic leaders and i wanted to know what changed. >> what changed was the gravity of the situation in terms of the economy, the foreign policy and domestic division. and i think i won't port -- i won't put words in anyone's mouth. most presidents story is give me credit for having accomplished more than most any president since johnson and maybe before that to get major pieces of legislation passed. what i realized was my long time in the senate had equipped me to have their wisdom to know how to deal with congress to get things done. more legislation passed no one thought what happened. i want to finish it to get them

finished. if we had a circumstance where there was a lineup and we just move things along, anyway, it's going to change. >> last question. >> josh white grove. -- wine grove. >> many of your colleagues, they are watching tonight as they assess what they want to say about your candidacy. on wondering how you are thinking of this right now. it seems like your answer is clear but they are watching how things go tonight, next week in texas and about a. are you thinking that way about whether how the next week or two goes would inform. >> are you thinking about how the next two weeks ago, will not affect your decision or are you

fully determined on running in november as the party's nominee. >> i'm determined on running but i think it's important that i allay fears by letting them see me out there. for the longest time it was biden is not prepared to sit with us unscripted. not prepared... so what i'm doing is what i've been doing. we've done over 20 major events from wisconsin to north carolina , to demonstrate that i'm going out in the areas where you think we can win, we can persuade people or people are already there. we had the most extensive campaign organization that anybody's had in a long time. we have well over 1000 volunteers. knocking on doors, making phone calls and making tens of thousands of phone calls.

we have scores of headquarters in all the states. we are organized and moving. that's awful hard to replace in the near term. here's the other thing. i was in the senate a long time. very proud of what i've done in the senate. i'm the chairman of the foreign relations committee for a long time and i was a chairman of the judiciary committee. i'm going to be going down to the johnson library -- i'm going around making the case of things that i think we have to finish. we can't afford to lose what we've done or backslide on civil rights and liberties, women's rights. conjugal -- control guns not

girls. the idea we are seeing around. we are sitting around, more children are killed by a bullet in any other cause of death. united states of america, what the hell are we doing? what are we doing? we've got a candidate saying i'm not going to do anything. you got a supreme court that is what you might call the most conservative court in american history. this is ridiculous. there is so much we can do still. i'm determined to get it done. it's about freedom. by the way,... i remember i made a speech on democracy in philadelphia at independence hall. and i'm not being critical, just

observant. what is he talking about that for? democracy is not an issue. democracy is not an issue. 60 percent of the people and knew i was right thought i was right. on not asking you a question, you don't have to answer obviously but do think our democracy is under siege based on this court? do you think democracy is under siege based on democracy -- project 2025. do you mean... we've never been here before. that's the other reason why i didn't hand off to another generation. we've got to finish this job. there is so much at stake. >> you've had some discussions with your press secretary over the questions of health exams.

you said you take the cognitive test every day in this job. argued open to taking another physical or test before the election? and governor said it wouldn't hurt to take another test. >> two things, i've taken three significant and intense neurological exams from a neurologist. in each case they say i'm in good shape. although i do have a little problem with my left foot because it's not as sensitive because i broke my foot. but i'm good. i'm tested every single day on my neurological capacity for the decisions i make every day. talk to my staff, all of you talk to my staff. sometimes my tack -- staff talks a lot. i don't think... all the major ideas that we've

undertaken have been initiated by me. i said i'm going to go to south korea and we are going to get... japan and korea back together again after having hostilities with one another since the end of world war ii. ongoing to see if we can expand. the only thing age does is creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention. so the point i'm making is i think it's important that if the neurologist tells me he thinks i need another exam. by the way, i've laid every bit of the record out. i haven't had nothing. i laid it all out.

every single day i'm surrounded by good doctors. if they think there is a problem, i promise you, or they think i should have a neurological exam again, i'll do it. no matter what i did, no one is going to be satisfied. did you have seven or did you have two? did you do this, how many times? so i am not opposed my doctors tell me i should have another neurological exam, i will do it. that's where i am. >> you said you are making decisions on a day-to-day basis when it comes to support for ukraine. does that mean you have not closed the door on further considering lifting restrictions for us-made weapons inside of russia and if i may, your convention is coming up where your delegates are going to make you the official nominee.

if they have second thoughts are they free to... >> they are free to do anything they want. i have overwhelming support. so tomorrow if i show up and they say we want somebody else, that the democratic process. it's not going to happen. >> [ inaudible question by the media ] >> sure. i will end this with this. i served in the senate a long time. i understand the impetus of candidates running for local office and whether they think... in my state of delaware which was a red state when i started

in terms of us talking about red and blue. i don't recall most of the presidents when he my state when i was a candidate. i understand the self-interest of every candidate. if they think that running with biden's going to hurt them then they are going to run away. i get it. so far, going look at the polling data in their states. by the way, i think you are all experts. you are experts on this stuff. how accurate does anybody thank the poles are these days? i can give you a series of polls were you have likely voters me versus trump where i win all the time. the unlikely voters are voting he wins it sometimes.

it all data right now which i think is premature because the campaign hadn't even started. it hadn't started in earnest yet. was of the time it doesn't heart on -- doesn't start until after labor day. so a lot can happen. but i think i'm the -- i believe i'm the best qualified to govern and i think i'm the best qualified to win. there are other people who could be -- beat trump to. we talk about money raised, we are not doing bad. we have about $220 million in the bank. we are doing well. so with that, did you want to follow-up on any of that? >> yes. [ laughter ] >> you explained confidence in your vice president. if your team came back and showed you data that she would fare better against dumb --

donald trump, would you reconsider your decision to stay in the race? >> not unless they came back and said there's no way you can win. me. no one saying that. >> this ends tonight's press conference. thanks everybody. >> [ inaudible question by the media ] >> listen to him. >> thanks everyone. >> that was president joe biden wrapping up that big boy press

conference. went about an hour. a few questions, extremely defiant. dug in. said it's too late at this point to change horses. says he thinks he has the best chance to win and it's too late to start from scratch. started off today with a major gaffe, confusing zelenskyy with prudent. watch. >> now i want to handed over to the president of ukraine who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies in german, president putin -- president zelenskyy. i'm so focused on beating prudent have to worry about him. >> i'm better. >> you're a hell of a lot better >> jesse: this is how this latest press conference began on the heels of that mistake. he was obviously exhausted and

then faded towards the end fighting for his political survival against barack obama, the clintons, the media, the donors, half of his political party but says he's in it to win it and began by backing nato and then claiming that inflation and illegal immigration is down and also promising to get a cease-fire going in gaza. then he began this press conference by confusing come allah for trump. watch. >> what concerns do you have about vice president harris' ability to beat donald trump if she were at the top of the ticket? >> i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president. i think she's not qualified to be president. >> jesse: that was the question at the very end that you just saw the follow-up. donald trump already capitalizing on that major gaffe. there were several gaps throughout that press conference. constantly interrupting himself and saying anyway, losing his

train of thought multiple times. he was asked about his life schedule and the fact that he doesn't really keep hours after four or 8:00 in the evening. he said this is because he needs to pace himself better and then blamed his staff. >> it's 2470. how can you say you will be up for that next year, into years and in four years given the limits you've acknowledged that you have today? >> the limits i've acknowledged i have? >> there's been reporting that you had to bed earlier. >> that's not true. what i said was instead of my every day starting at seven and going to bed at midnight, it would be smarter for me to pace myself a little bit more. i said for example the stuff,

instead of starting at 9:00, started at 8:00. people get to go home at 10:00. that's what i'm talking about. if you looked at my schedule since i've made that stupid mistake in the debate, my schedule has been full board. where has trump been? writing on his golf cart and filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball? he's done virtually nothing. i've done roughly 20 major events. some with thousands of people showing up. so i just think it's better. i always have an inclination just to keep going. just pace myself a little bit more. pace myself. the next debate on not going to be travelling in 15 time zones

the week before. that's what it was about. even with that, i love my staff but they add things all the time i'm catching hell from my wife. >> jesse: lindsay graham joins me now. we just watch that entire press conference. your reaction to that. >> thanks for having me sean. [ laughter ] [ simultaneous talking ] >> it was hard to watch. it was a car wreck. i don't know if he really believes he inherited a bad deal. he inherited a good deal. the border was the most secure in 40 years. the arabs were making peace with the israelis and everything changed when he got to be president. here's the news tonight. he said if a doctor tells me i need an exam i will take it.

on going to right the white house physician and ask him to do a neurological exam for the president. because 80 percent of the public believes he is not fit to serve. if the doctor doesn't understand that man is at congo to test, the doctor needs one. this needs to stop up your kind tired of being told there's nothing wrong with joe biden. do you want him in a room with prudent or xi? i wouldn't let him buy me a car. i like him but he's compromised. this was a car wreck, it was a train wreck. it was misleading and we need the president of the united states to take a neurological exam and here's why he won't. he will fail its. here's his message to the democratic party. you are stuck with me because you can't do everything you need to replace me. to america. you should not be stuck with him. it's one thing whether or not he could be trump which he can't. the question for all of us can he be commander-in-chief tomorrow.

the answer is no. taken exam appeared to the doctors at the white house, i'm asking you publicly and i will right you a letter, tell me why he should not be examined. >> jesse: he was asked about whether he would take one and he said he had taken a couple already. >> you had some discussions about the topic of health exams and you said you would take the cognitive test every day in this job. are you open to taking another physical or test before the election? another governorate said it wouldn't hurt. >> i've taken three significant and intense neurological exams from a neurologist. in each case they say i'm in good shape. although i do have a problem with my left foot because it's not a sensitive.

i'm good. i'm tested every day on my neurological capacity and the decisions i make every single day. all of you talked to my staff. sometimes my staff talks a lot. i'm not opposed if my doctors tell me i should have another no logical exam, i will do it. >> i don't believe that. >> you don't believe it? >> i don't believe he said three neurological exams. i want the results released tomorrow morning. i don't believe he had one up a beret but if there was one i want to know the results. if the results are this man is fine, i want to know the doctor who administered it. how many times do we have to ask the american people about the president's ability to do his job and they say overwhelmingly we don't think he has the ability and he won't submit to an exam. stop stonewalling.

if there's no problem with president biden, submit to a neurological cognitive test. president trumbull do the same. >> he's challenged trump to release the results of the exam he already took. >> this was rambling, stumbling, bumbling. i had no idea what you were saying have the time so we need a cognitive test. i'm tired of talking about gulf. go play nine holes with president trump. on playing with him sunday president trump is a very good golfer. do you think president biden could play nine holes? do you want this guy in a room with world leaders, emissaries of this country and the only thing between your family and your prosperity is joe biden? that's insane. >> jesse: the democrats are stuck with him. it's too late, you can't take away the delegates.

you can't disenfranchise them plus it's too hard to start from scratch. he said they would have to change all the lawn signs. thank you so much senator. fox news contributor and host of the fox nation show, here is some sound from the presidents news conference. left foot -- let's listen. >> are militaries were following the advice of my commander-in-chief, the chief of staff of the military. can you name me somebody who's got more major piece of legislation passed in three to half years? i crated 2000 job to last week. today we had... i ask our allies that we bring on a group from the south pacific, australia, new zealand, japan. australia. irony mentioned australia. >> jesse: does joe biden

survive or what's it going to look like tomorrow? >> i think he does. they've got some valid issues about removing him involuntarily. i don't think people still have confidence in kamala's competence enough to think that she could have hosted the nato summit this week without slapping that she could be standing there and having a press conference for an hour. i will say there are a couple of these donors out there now trying to bet... they dream of a kamala harris ticket because... they think they can seriously speaking, joe biden tempted everybody with a couple of things. when he said if my staff comes to me and said i can't when it, everybody's going to be shoving these poles in front of him. he said he doesn't believe the polls except the ones that show he's ahead. here's what i think of the democrats right now. when it comes to joe biden, the

democrats concern is political, not medical. their concern about him is electoral, none of them are out there saying i love this man i want him to step aside, he needs medical intervention. they are saying he's going to cost us the white house and the house and the senate. i think he hears their motives and says i ran for president three times, i got rid of donald trump and i'm going to stick with it. he has daring them. the one thing he said where i think he gives trump a huge opening is when he says donald trump didn't have foreign policy as a strong suit. that is wrong. people want that back. the isis caliphate gone, north korea not shooting off nukes. the trade deals, china capitulating to trump on trade and fentanyl restrictions. it we want that foreign policy

back. out vladimir putin doesn't fear joe biden. he annexes sovereign nations, crimea in 2014 or invades when joe biden is in the white house. >> jesse: how much pain can joe biden withstand? what is pain threshold? you have clooney, he was the puppet for barack. you have clinton's team, donors talking, his own staff leaking. you hear him scold his staff were talking too much? how much is going to take? is this guy that pain tolerant that he can withstand this type of beating from now until the convention? >> i think it's a little bit of arrogance also and ego. here's a guy who was passed over by his boss in 2016. barack obama endorsed hillary. hilary loss to trump. here's a guy who is running in 1987 until he was doing something that no one in the labour party did.

ran on his own in 2008. so this is somebody's always been i think passed over and underestimated and he feels he's finally there. i worked there for four years. once you whether you want to stay and complete the job but you're during everybody else... the people who are bellyaching about this publicly and will put their name on the record, what power do they truly have to displace joe biden? nancy pelosi is 84. if we are going to start getting rid of the... i think they have to worry about that. they are probably thinking really carefully about that. so i think he stays. >> jesse: they are not about to lose a national election. apparent leave the democrats just can't take one loss. they can't lose one election is unacceptable.

they can't just work harder in 2028. they cannot lose ever that's what this is about. they have to rip the rules up and pull a switcheroo and disenfranchise all these people who voted for joe biden in the primary and the have to change all the lawn signs and that's really complicated. and they are willing to do it. thank you so much. >> thanks jesse. >> jesse: right now our team put together a list of maybe 11 times joe biden completely lost his train of thought and just said anyway. >> this is, well anyway. the next debate on not going to be travelling in 15 time zones a week before. anyway. i'm catching hell for my wife. anyway. it wasn't just about anyway. read what the objective is and anyway. but then again they are better than a lot of other people here

to. >> jesse: peter was at the anyway. go ahead peter. >> we are here and it's kind of clearing out and president biden probably did what he had to do. he made a mistake on the way in hear where he called zelenskyy putin but he explained on the stage. and he did call his vice president kamala harris, vice president trump which does not single a change -- signal a change in the ticket. there was no freezing like out the debate. it seems like that is what democrats were looking for. can he go for 59 minutes which is how long he wound up going without doing that. it doesn't sound like he's going to immediately drop out. or make a change. like if we were going to talk next thursday night based on everything that he said, he will still be the democratic nominee

and he was basically daring other democratic candidates to try to start from zero to catch up to him because they don't have national operations. it's noble that he made the comment about he would drop out if he was told he had no chance to win because as we were coming in here, that's what the new york times is reporting. his aides are trying to figure out how to gently tell him that he might have no chance to win and he should step aside. that's why the biden campaign is reportedly commissioning a pole. kamala harris versus donald trump at the top of the ticket. so he was defiant it seemed but it's not a definite win he talks about his political future. >> it's not a definite? he seems pretty definitive and put out a few things. if someone showed him a pole or he bombed his next exam, he said he's already had three, he was asked about kamala harris.

one time he forgot the question but he did answer several times, you don't think she's qualified to take over for you? i thought you were supposed to be the bridge to the future. how would you characterize the way he answered the -- that question? it. >> it's interesting and a taste of what is to come. the number 1 thing that he talked about when he said she is qualified eventually to take over. talked about the work that she does to protect women's bodies and was talking about a pin that they have. it said protect girls not guns. so he listed that first begot -- before he got into her experience. that goes to show you the campaign needs something to motivate the base has been completely disheartened since that debate. they are going with women's rights and if she ascends to the top of the ticket because he

sees a pole that says he has no chance to win, that will be the democratic issue if it's not already. >> he doesn't believe the polls, so whatever pull you hand him he's not want to believe it. [ simultaneous talking ] >> jesse: he goes the campaign doesn't start until september anyway. leaving himself a lot of outs here. the campaign hasn't started yet but we've artie had a debate. thank you so much, we will have a fun day tomorrow. let's bring in martha mccallum, anchor of the story. here is some more sound from the president defending himself. >> you refer to yourself as being a bridge candidate for a younger, fresher generation of democratic leaders and i wanted to know what changed. >> what changed was the gravity

of the situation i inherited. in terms of the economy, our foreign policy and domestic division. kept tomorrow, if we had a circumstance where there is a lineup and i hadn't inherited what i did and just move things along, anyway, it's going to change. >> we are moving. it's awful hard to replace in the near term. that's the other reason why it i didn't hand off to another generation. we've got to finish this job. there is so much at stake. >> jesse: can you interpret that for us, please? it. >> it's going to change. we are not sure exactly what is going to change but i will say this, he did well enough to hang in there and give a lot of democrat donors and all those

people who have named their names in terms of wanting him out as -- a sleepless night tonight. it's going to be a lot of whiplash. i would imagine two things. my hunch is that they didn't prepare him at all for tonight because that didn't work well for the debate. he got all garbled up. there was plenty of garbled tonight but the bar is low in terms of what becomes acceptable for the president at this stage. he has spent the last several days talking about all of these issues in depth and they were all close to his recall monitored. he was able to get out there and dew fairly well given how low the bar has become. this is going to be, the thing i think really animates him is the story about obama being behind ... there's a lot of resentment and animosity between these camps no hmmm -- no matter how any times they talk about how good friend

they are. remember obama walking him off the stage. that was the metaphor of this political moment. biden is not going to go quietly into this night and he made it very clear today. i think that has focused him and animated him. in a way that probably makes this just another bump in the roller coaster ride and it's not over yet. >> jesse: he lives to fight another day and we are hearing from cnn reporting that nancy pelosi and barack obama are talking. they are talking about joe. you now have an alliance between nancy and barack. i guess he would favourite nancy as he said. he's not too keen on barack coming in hot and telling him it's over. but this isn't going to end soon. we were told by a lot of insiders in the democratic party that by this weekend joe was gone. they told us that confidently. i don't know if he's gone this weekend. i could see this playing out for

another week or two weeks. who knows. biden has the clock on his side. he's going to go until the convention. >> i think you are right. i that his intention. he's got the small group around him and in terms of i'm going to be a bridge to the future, we remember that comment very clearly in the 2020 election. the idea is he would be able to pass it off to kamala harris. we know what has happened to that plan. his numbers are worse -- her numbers are worse than his at this point despite the fact that he called her vice president trump tonight which was a weird moment. the bar has been lowered dramatically. he likes living in the white house. 's family likes living in the white house. having the proximity of that. that's one of the things that has changed. nobody wants to leave after one term. they don't want to be a one term president. biden is a political creature. this is all he has ever done, it's what he knows how to do. we saw a lot of muscle memory

tonight. he kicked in and it worked for him this evening and i think it's going to have a lot of democrats who are trying to get them out, having a tossing and turning night tonight when they try to go to bed. >> jesse: do you think you told people he was going to hand her the baton just they would support him? he needed the far left support. he chose her to get that. do you think joe biden was actually thinking he was going to be a one term guy from the jump? he wanted to be president his whole life. he was never going to pass this off to her. it was all a ruse to get the left to agree to back him in 2020. >> i'm thinking about what chuck todd had to say about we always talk about joe biden at such a great guy, good, determined, decent man. everybody likes him and he said but now we are seeing his ugly colours. we are seeing the stubbornness. i it's fascinating that the same people who basically said that

voters can't be trusted on donald trump, he's going to destroy democracy, they are now trying to take away democracy as well by taking this away from joe biden after people did elect him. and they did nominate him in terms of this process. i think that he looks at that and he digs in and he says no way. i'm not giving them what they want. he wants to stick around. >> jesse: fun day to cover the biden white house. >> that's for sure. >> jesse: we will see you tomorrow. >> jesse: i thought the first question was going to be the american people want to go on, they don't think you are fit, "are you sticking around or when are you going to take the cognitive test or what's with the parkinson doctor? is he giving you botox for migraines? that was the excuse. instead it was half the questions were about nato. what about barack obama stabbing

you in the back? are you mad at your old? what happened here? >> biden struck kind of a perfect balance of making enough advocates for sticking for sticking around while at the same time obviously increasing people's doubts about his ability to carry on. one thing is abundantly clear, he's not going anywhere. cliff notes of an hour-long presser, you can take the white house and the nomination from my cold dead hands. you are right about the regime media. they have not fully bought in so now they are stuck. they are stuck because they are sitting here going if we eviscerate this guy right now and he's not leaving the race, we will be helping trump. if we don't eviscerate biden, we think he has a really good chance of losing to trump so it's choices choices choices but they are stuck right now. you can see that was the one thing that i drew from that presser, the regime media is 10t know what to do. >> the toughest question for the -- was from a foreign press guy.

you heard the whole week how defensive the press was. they are being accused of being in on this cover-up and his mental condition and were going to go out there and show him. this was going to be a thrashing like we've never seen before that biden was never going to survive this type of onslaught from these reporters. it was like what about kamala. >> they don't know how to do it. they are not used to being attacked -- attack dogs on one of their own. they not used to doing that so it's a complete and 100 -- 180-degree change. it's their guy. i just don't think that muscle memory if you will is there for them to attack their boy in the white house. that's another problem. he made it very clear, he's not going anywhere. i totally agree with you. every day that passes becomes

even stronger chance that biden remains the nominee and his nominee for november 5th. >> jesse: that's what the trump campaign wants. they want this guy with a terrible record and a terrible brain, they wanted. as much as the cows may help them, they would rather have him than the unknown because he is known and he is known to be going down. >> what happened out there mike? >> you said it as well as anybody. i think the most interesting thing is the ways in which he struggles to finish a clear train of thought. there is constant digressions, he's constantly forgetting the point that he started just a few seconds earlier. i think the problem here is there's a sense in which his thinking isn't right. the other thing is the ways in which biden is only here because he was coddled by the democratic

party, particularly by the elites who first got rid of, they got to others to drop out, he had to run against warren. you see the efforts to move competitors out of the way whereas for trump he's battle hardened, he had to win in 2016. the establishment fought their populist candidate of bernie sanders. republicans did as well but trump one. you see a more robust candidate right now on the republican side, this weekend candidacy of biden i think is attributable to him having been overprotected which as you and i both know it's one of the problems that you have with progressive movement. >> jesse: he was mover into this oval office by the elites. he's now blaming them for calling for his head. the fbi, the cia, all the donors and all of barack's guys put him in there with the help of the china virus and they protected him like a wounded animal which he was for four years and then

were shocked all of a sudden that he fell apart at the debate and now want him gone. he is saying we had a deal. on not going anywhere. i'm the president you are not the president and we're going to make this ugly. it's going to get ugly. how ugly is this going to get? >> the democrats, the media which really runs the democratic party is clearly not done. nothing would've happened tonight that would've changed their views. this is the thing that's happening right now. the media is in a self reinforcing downward spiral. they covered up biden's health problems for so long, they turned on a dime on him after the debate. now stressing the same issues they had dismissed weeks ago. they are destroying their own credibility in realtime. the democrats the same thing. they were covering for this for so long. now the knives are out. i see both the democrats and the media losing legitimate cpr i

think that's a huge thing that will last for years to come. >> this has become an actual scandalous going to be needed to be investigated after trump wins this white house. who were these people that cover this up and defrauded the american public for all this time? maybe at something the sub stacked team can figure out. >> we are working on it. >> jesse: former democratic governor of illinois. knows a little something about being pushed out. how do you think biden survives? he seems to be feeling fine. they were waiting for a major freeze. there was no freeze there was at the debate. as many times as he mixed up trump and kamala, zelenskyy and prudent, he lives to fight another day. >> i think george clooney is going to have a sleep is night because i think president biden can declare he's not going anywhere. the only way they can get a new canada is if he's willingly agreeing to step aside.

he's made it clear that he's going to run. looks like all the indications are there he's going to run. the democrats are in a real bind. how do you tell 15 million democratic voters who voted provided in the primary, working people, people who do the real work of the world, the home healthcare worker for example, takes care of your grandmother. the mechanic... how you tell him or her that the candidate you voted for isn't going to get out of the race because george clooney at hollywood thinks there should be another candidate. i think the democrats and... what's happened to the party is really a question of whether they can stand with the working people that they are for which they abandoned or whether they are going to listen to their hollywood, wall street financiers and silicon valley billionaires with regard to what they want. i think biden is going to stay because what else should he do? he's got a legacy to think about and he resents that obama behind

the scenes and nancy acting not like statesmen but like old-time chicago democratic wore bosses were going to decide who the candidate ought to be. >> jesse: what would an old-time chicago ward boss do in this situation? would it be a whistleblower? would it be a golden parachute to the biden family? a little pressure campaign maybe an extra charge on hunter? what would sweeten the deal or what would be so painful that biden would have to take... >> i think there will be a combination of the care and the stick. the elites led by the leaders of the democratic party's, they are going to do those sorts of things behind-the-scenes with their allies in the media, dropping don -- bombs on biden and his son.

they have back channels offering him golden parachutes and other things if he is willing to step aside. my guess is biden's going to stay. what else should he do? he's 81 or 82 years old. he thinks donald trump is his vice residential candidate. maybe that's another reason, he hates trump so much he wants him as the vice president. >> jesse: talk about these today, we found out biden hasn't had a cabinet meeting and almost ten months. and he was having cabinet meetings, the secretaries were asking questions ahead of time and the entire thing was scripted. it was all an act at the cabinet meetings. now you understand why he hasn't had them because he was being hidden from his own cabinet. not just us. that's all for tonight. remember i'm water's in my world.
