4:01 am
hello, i'm darn jordan, joe hall with a quick reminder of the top stories here on out to 0. so the amazon me on the power minute treat rapid support forces have agreed to a short term should monitor of interest to cease fund negotiated by the us and saudi arabia will come into effect on monday night, august heroes even move in and has more from the off of the ceasefire agreement signed between the sudanese army and the power of military rapids support forces in the city of kit that installed the review. late such a date does not come into effect until after 48 hours of a sick nature. so people here in the capital costume and in other parts of the country will not see effect until after 48 hours in the late hours of monday. but that's if it's actually come into effect. people here have seen how previous these fires have played out. and many of them say that they are cautiously optimistic. russia says its troops and mercenaries from the watchmen group have taken full control of the eastern ukrainian city of buck moved. keith denies the city as full
4:02 am
in describing the situation that as critical. that mood has been the focus of the longest and deadly as battle of russia's war in ukraine. journalist julia shopping below but has more now from moscow in the afternoon of maybe 20 is pretty, goes and announced that the mood had been taken under the can complete control of the font, the group and laser in the evening. and he posted a video, the installation of the russian and of dark enough lives in different parts of the city. however, it did not show the south western district whether ukrainian ministry held that positions until recently, a precaution has been in a public conflicts with the ministry of defense for several months now and they will report that the states media was a video to close the business most statements that i know neutral and you know directly relates to the situation at the front of your claims. the president,
4:03 am
in front of me is 11 things up a g 7 in japan where he's looking to show up more international support on friday. g 7 lead has agreed to tighten economic functions on russia. diplomatic editor james base is in here. russian man explains why is that ends because meetings with other well leaders at the g 7. it's an important and the idea is to have a bridge to the rest of the world. the developing world is a representative. the african union always invited, but also to the big, big other countries of the world. and i think those are the ones that present lensky is seeking out. and we've already seen him have a meeting with prime minister moody of india. india abstained in those important to you and general assembly about last year on ukraine. it didn't take you craig inside. it's a some service, it would say, sat on the fence. and so india is important, but we've also got indonesia. we've got brazil, we go to very important players, internationally. i think presidents lensky is going to be low being,
4:04 am
and i think they feel the ukrainians, but yes, he can speak to lots of these people on the phone, but face to face in person. the perhaps can get them to modify that positions. it's an as prime minister, georgia maloney has cut short participation at the g 7 summit to return home floods of devastated italy's northeast region of the media romani a at least 14 people have been killed. regional authorities extend that are red with a lot to sunday. the more rain, full cost touch and citizens based abroad have the guns voting in the, in the presidential run of the long queues outside polling stations in germany, which is home to the world's biggest, toughest diaspora may 28th one of pits, the incumbent, richard typo. the one against opposition candidate come out construed is right. he's a been back on the streets, protesting against the government's plan to of a whole. the traditionally 5 minutes to benjamin netanyahu pulled, pulls the changes in march after intense public pressure,
4:05 am
but tens of thousands of continued to protest that every week changes in cuba, giving the governing combination full pallets to choose supreme court judges, miss polite, just meeting between the white house, under public time negotiators has ended without a deal to raise a us government's borrowing limit treasury's warning washington could bunch of money as early as june. first, a default could cause global markets to crash. so those are the headlines that is, continues here, and i'll just say are off of the bottom line station. thanks so much bye for now. the a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a couple of questions. who's more electable, joe biden, or donald trump, and which one can energize more voters? let's get to the bottom line. the,
4:06 am
they're both the front runners and their parties for the election next year, and they both are governing with the exact same popularity levels at this time in their presidency, about 40 percent, pretty low, unless the major shift happens in the next few months. this is the choice americans will have either trump or bite and 2 flavors of ice cream on the one hand, a bully who is proud to be a boy and gets admiration for millions of americans for his muscular anti establishment attitude. and on the other, middle is the road liberal, who's not afraid to call out white supremacy as quote, the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland bow say they're fighting for the soul of the nation. so which way will americans go and why? today we're talking with jason miller, who served on trump's last 2 presidential campaigns and just recently joined for the 3rd time as a senior advisor and foster care, a senior advisor to senator bernie sanders, who served this campaign manager for sanders 2020 presidential campaign. thank you
4:07 am
both for joining me today. i'm really looking forward to this discussion in the past. let me just start out with you. it does strike me, you know, if, if, you know, you're out there looking at surveying the field right now that you've got an 80 year old president, you've got a 76 year old content. her and former president, 81 year old that you worked for. and i'm just sitting there saying, you know, we're watching 2 years before the election comes, are any of these people going to be around in 20? 24? i'm just going to say it folks ages in the back of people's minds competence. i've never seen bernie sanders miss a beat. i can't say the same thing for president biden. haven't seen donald trump mississippi, but if you're looking out there and you're due to become an advisor, either to how that by an administration can you know, well, position itself right now, given these doubts and concerns that he may not be there and his number to is a very, very unpopular vice president right now, combo harris. what, what is the, how do you look at the field right now when it comes to age, when it comes to competence? when it comes to options to this is gonna be a very different election cycle than the last one. buy a new list,
4:08 am
the sites that the joe biden will have to be aggressively campaigning. and away he wasn't. this would be really, really cool. if it's president trump, i can put him on the line that i'm working this. yeah. and they're going to say that i have to parents on how to 00. you ahead. he would. it requires more physicality. steve, you're gonna have to get out and you have to cold campaign in advance to get to move around the country in a way that 2020, quite frankly, wasn't because of covered. and i, we hope that he's as right when we have the last campaign, joe biden, with interstate, all right, it was a, it was a common argument and frustration of trump camp that he was out there holding rallies, that many of us argued were on saving their worst covered going around the country, but that said to bind was not holding those kinds of. in fact the bernie sanders was as a target going out doing car rallies and other kinds of things on his behalf. this time around, he's gonna have to campaign he's gonna have to have physicality is gonna have to be a good saying body of mind. i hope he is, you know, the but i see in your eyebrows a little doubt. sure. i don't think there's any democrat out there who's being honest with themselves who doesn't have that death. of course you do, but you're going to have to buckle be the state of the union when you saw him.
4:09 am
really, i thought show his, they gave me and i thought he showed up with is this is live out there for you with emptied. as congresswoman margaret tell her grand is, you know, taken on the chamber. i thought that was probably is better moments. so he's got it and, and i think he's gonna need it on a more frequent basis. jason. yeah. want to pick up on something that fads said because being a very smart operative people want a fighter and they want to fight or whether they're voting in the democratic primary and the republican primary or in the general election. they want to see that their leaders are actually doing something. people are sick and tired of the career politicians from both parties who have made problems worse over the years. but what president trump has that say around the santas doesn't you can point to his for years. so he delivered on the economy twice. actually he delivered on crime and actually on criminal justice reform as well. so we had folks on both sides of the debate who are bracing it. no new wars who did not invade ukraine. he buried ukraine under obama innovative ukraine under binding. did not under president trump
4:10 am
. and i think people saw the americans that much stronger standing on the world stage. what we see now is people in this weakness, and once biden completely botched, the withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan, every leader, every adversary in the world had our number. so let's take a look at this week, for example, rather than picking a fight. i'm speaking to the president biden right now. he's going to have to pop a new guinea in ally, by the way. what fights are you picking a pop? a new guinea? when we have these issues at the southern border, latasha 42 and the expiration there inflation be out of control. certainly the word ukraine is not getting any better. that's the only 2 in decimal prices and he's off to new guinea. so that shows a certain tone, deafness, a certain disconnect, i think, with the american public, regardless of your, your party affiliation. and this is why i think by it is going to have problems. if you're to see if you're an african american vote or latino american vote, or a young voter saying, what the heck are these politicians doing? none of them deliver for us. things are getting worse. but the presence often,
4:11 am
your guinea, that's a problem. so let me ask you a bottom line question here, and a be really said, i don't mean to be offensive in a way that donald trump last the last election, your boss, the election present by the republicans didn't lose the mid terms, but they did really much more por, port leaving anticipated. what in those trends makes you think that donald trump has any real chance of being victorious in the 2024 race? because it's different when president trump is on the ballot. and that's when you actually get the trump voters. and keep in mind that in 2020 president trump did the best for republican nominee with african americans, latino americans, asian americans, of any republican since 1972. that tells you that he's changing the nature of the party. what files and bernie sanders have done to their efforts with regard to populism, unfortunately, has been overtaken by joe biden and the establishment folks in the democratic party . and so president, trump continues to change the republican party to be more of a working class party. where's too many on the democratic side have gone to the uh,
4:12 am
the ivory tower, liberalism, it with a real district. but then present trump driving these key coalitions. and again, the political gravity of inflation in the economy of where joe biden is the fact that he doesn't actually excite anyone present. trump has a great chance and he also there's a narrative here about day one. we don't have to wonder about what present trump will do is present, or how he might lead. he can go in on day one, because we've seen him do it for 4 years. that's the difference between se trump and said to santas. nobody's going to go to the rolling stones tribute band when the rolling stones are still performing. and so that's where i think they're going to goes, trump, you know, it raises this interesting question. i did an interview fast with president. well then, vice president biden in 2016 when he had decided not to run was clear the match up was going to be between donald trump and hillary clinton. and he said, the democratic party probably said this on the record was it did become a party of snobs. has it fix that problem one, do you agree with president fighting? yeah. and has president biden fix this?
4:13 am
not a problem in the them kind of what is it the generational fact. so we got a lot more years to work on this, steve, but i think do think that he comes into this election cycle. they're better than 5050 shot to when i think the numbers tend to understate his strength. i do think that if donald trump is the nominator, he tends to be a motivator for a lot of democratic voters, and you'll see them get out so well. joe biden himself might have his own weaknesses of being a kind of a through z aspect, energizing candidates. he's always benefited from the fact that there's a lot of democrats, we're going to be out there just voting for him. voting against donald trump. i do think that the, the, to this issue of the snobbery that you're mentioning, i think that, you know, he's been help. and joe biden is somebody whose parents didn't go to college and to get a call and didn't get a college degree. us and you hear him talk frequently about we're trying to deliver jobs through federal stimulus spending for people who don't have a college degree. and it's critical that that message get through to people. obviously not only that get through,
4:14 am
but also that they get those jobs. okay. but the other day, you gotta should go to places like georgia in ohio and pennsylvania and show that there is now still work or an electrician who's working at a job, doing an electric vehicle construction or something that wouldn't have had that job before. i do think that that's going to be possible here, steve, as those real world instances of people having those jobs across this country occur the gender. i do think there's a chance that democrats start to win back working class people who we've been losing to donald trump, that said, you know, when we've lost those working class voters, the reason why he's, he drove by his presence because they've gotten a huge amount of the suburban voters, who are the wealthier, you know, a better situated graphite, more likely reliable voters. so i think with dollars, i've looked at the turn out, and he's like, hey, well, i mean, i've got $10000.00 people coming to a rally. how could i lose? but because there's a lot of people just don't go to rallies, doing fine, good fish all the way to race and identity and governing for a whole country as opposed to part of
4:15 am
a country come in to your thinking. and president trump's thinking, well, can say, look at present trump to record where you had to record below unemployment for every community across the board. communities i've, i've spoken about people actually were able to pay their bills. they felt like they're like they're standing as far as their financial standing was getting better . now we've seen 24 months in a row. of earning power of households going down in the us to abide was try cause or they ration because of inflation. but again, that's because they're printing new money, but essentially just out of control spending from the binding ministration. coupled with the, uh, i mean, i should add that donald trump editor, what $66.00 and a half trillion dollars to that, to the federal debt. but you'll look at the way the economy. he rebuilt it a 2nd time, the way the economy was grow. we were getting back on track after global pandemic. and so president trump can say not only bill, the greatest economy, whatever it had in the us, but he did it twice. but going back to how people are looking at this, what joe binders trying to do, there's,
4:16 am
he knows his economic record is terrible. he knows he's seen the reason washington post abc polling words, not just as a rule, voters also suburban voters, have an unpopular view of jo by in his handling of the economy. they don't think the body can fundamentally turn it around. and so people, if they want to have greater earning power, if they want to turn around the stake flashing, they're gonna want goes donald trump. and i think that binds play to try to do this whole the whole fear game isn't going to work when the economy is this bad. but as i mean on this issue, and i've talked to senior biting campaign or by the administration official of his campaign. and they, you know, they, he, he wrote in an article, in the atlantic, on fighting for the soul of the nation. responding to what did happen in charlottesville. so what jason is talking about, about a lot of black and hispanic voters, you know, not majorities by any means. but, you know, there's a, there's a somewhat of a shift. and i, i don't know how to ask. this is president by not making the case when it comes to race, inclusion and opportunity. what do they see on the other side of the aisle where,
4:17 am
where is that from your as long as you know, i think that as long as president biden is making this argument that we are in a class solidarity fight together regardless of race, regardless of and the city that you are in this time together, sometimes you'll, we will see right when politics occasionally may set to divide a working class holiday with each other that the jobs are being taken away from you . because somebody might be coming from a different country and, and or leaving prism and taking that job, that is rightfully yours. that kind of stuff breaks up class solidarity i think binds in a pretty good place on this issue. if you pulled on, you know, democracy just court, the democratic elements, core women's rights issue, cor, racial justice issues. he's going to win. the only issue that he's gonna have to secure. that's why i think he's better than 5050 to one this election. the issue is that the sort sure up is economy, that the only way in which i think that my, from my view and jayce may disagree,
4:18 am
the only way in which donald trump pulls off an election, which everybody knows the candidates. know, dana probably already know that our boat going into the selection that the only way it does is if you lose on the issue, the economy and joe buys issue. you know, major fight there is to make people feel that i am in an economic rebuilding that includes all people of all race and gender. this isn't just trying to store up black unemployment, which is that historically low low levels is not just to secure latino employment. secure everybody's employment regardless of race income because that kind of clause solid or the message it will end up trumping. you know, i think that argument by the right that would have to make you feel like i'm a loser in this battle in which other people are gaining. i don't think it's true. the numbers just don't bear it out. the wage gains are really good at this time, unemployment, historically low, but you gotta get involved in that fight and explain that jason. read disagree on that. if you look, it doesn't matter whether it's internal polling or any of the other independent
4:19 am
pulling out there somewhere between 69 and 72 percent of americans, no matter how the questions asked. things things are, think things are going in the wrong direction. cbs asked to have or things out of control, which was an interesting way to go and frame it out just the right track. wrong track the in c, b, s, pulling 72 percent said they thought the country was out of control. that's a historically terrible number, and that is a really, really bad position for binding b and, and to push back a little bit of what 5 said. if you look ahead to the next few quarters for by the turn around the economy, that's not with the wall street journal projections say that's also not with the fed projection say in fact they say that later this year, they believe the us will have a negative growth quarter, think about that for a moment by a negative growth quarter. that is devastating. that's then when you're start seeing the chain reaction where it's not just inflation, other indicators of the, of the economy are going to start taking a real, beating the. but again, with president trump, i think we're, he has a real opening, real angle,
4:20 am
the reach out to number these communities a, quite frankly, like the democrats, you know, fast running everything. they'd be in much better position. but they don't have a lot of ivory tower liberals who have just bad ideas or making things worse for the working class in this country. let me just ask you as a hypothetical here, and i'm going to tell our audience, this is a real hypothetical. i have no inside of knowledge, but if president trump faces an indictment or is indicted in the fulton county election meddling case for the 2020 racing, georgia or proceedings were brought against him for managing costs by document. so or role in january 6 are those, you know, substances, you know, elements that could take him out and same thing fast. i'd love your thoughts on that, but at the same time with president biden, you know, at his, at his age and you know, out there, if somebody haven't, i'm just interested in the fact that as we're looking at this race, it's really weird. you've got significant legal issues facing one of the, you know, potential,
4:21 am
he would win the republican primary for we held tomorrow. president bide would, would be the candidate who were held tomorrow. but stuff could happen that removes both of them from the picture by 2024. and i'm just interested in how you see the country and the race if that were to happen, or one, how do you, etc, etc, sessions and say, what if jack smith, you know, to bring something now and as we've seen, the last 2 legal attacks on president trump, whether be alvin break at district attorney in new york, or we saw what happened with the decision and manhattan with aging carol last week . president trump, the numbers have gone up both times. i hadn't seemed to have they actually increased proposals. yep. morning console by their latest number. so the president, trump numbers have increased over the past week from before the decision until afterwards. a lot of it, when i think people saw present trump on the stage in the cnn town hall, he looked presidential. he looked like someone who's going to be a fighter this past then present. trump looked like a fighter on that stage, not just in the us, but around the world. he could do it on day one,
4:22 am
much more strongly, much more effectively than the current present. fast yeah, well remarkably, i mean he has consolidated the field and part of it because he thought there's ronda santas or anybody else is unwilling to make him straight and critique of him . and so it is kind of, you know, he's basically consolidated. but when and part of that is at the fight infection, i'm talking about steve, right? is i, there is a president or for a person who enjoys being and fights infections. and you can see how it helps aggravate and energized has made me feel by and isn't always that way. and i think it works to his political advantage sometimes because that suburban collection is going to stay with them is restoring. so all the countries kind of keeping things peaceable weren't going to disrupt government, bring chaos to the situation. that said, when you get into this election cycle, you're gonna have to find moments of animating your arguments. and you can't let donald trump to spend every single day on his front foot telling you what the issue is of the country are. because we'll know he'll be picking issues in which he's going to be on his front foot. but what like even on women's rights. so she was, i,
4:23 am
i don't know that. uh, president trump is landed on in a position on abortion. you would, if you are to abide and you would be out there making this argument on a say i've every single day and a meeting this. where is that guy on this? i care deeply about women's rights and choose here's, here's what i'm going to do is present. you. i says, here's what our, we're going to fight for. give me the sign and give me the house, those kinds of issues. i think steve as a gets into this next election cycle, kind of figure out a way to animate stuff because you cannot just sit behind the podium. otherwise, donald trump is very great entertaining, very good on tv. knows how to like kind of keep the attention around them and you can assume that that's what he'll be doing on frequent basis to more quick questions. lots of americans over whelming majority of americans believed donald trump last election job. i won the election job by his president, living in the white house and, you know, you know, donald trump won't drop it. he keeps bringing up. i know people working for donald trump, who, you know, no, he lost the election, save a he lost the election. is that a witness test internally and it hasn't just become
4:24 am
a non issue out there politically that people just don't hear that obsession from donald trump that he won the election and they're willing to because they don't agree with him that he lost it, but they still support him and i'm trying to squared that circle as well. so the presence very passionate is new points and i don't think that's going to drop any time soon. but also keep in mind that there are lot of issues out there. so say if you're independent voters, someone who doesn't always tune into politics and maybe you're frustrated by all the talk, whether it's of any of the elections use, want to deal with inflation. you won't be able to crime as having the cities or you see what happened overseas in afghanistan. other places like this is ridiculous. this is in america. we look so weak on the global stage. you can say i want somebody can step in and fix it right away and somebody is going to give you a bunch of promises. will they see what happens with binds promises he's not fulfilling? and that's why you had the 14 students at howard university who stood up and turned around and put their backs to president biden. and one gentleman i saw even had a note on his graduation cap that said joe biden, and come with harris. don't care about black people that was
4:25 am
a stunning signal to be sent, but just because bite and harris have not delivered on their promises. they know that even if they disagree with president trump, with the number of issues or a personality or something of that when it comes to delivering on the economy is going to get it done. i have to ask you guys that both of you here real quickly um, a surprising thing happened. matt gates, congressman from florida and alexandria across the o. cortez, a congresswoman from new york have joined together in what's called the bi partisan restoring faith and government act that prohibits members of congress from trading . stocks are holding stock that i would never in my wildest dreams of thought a o. c and mad gates would be on anything ever. so tell me what's going on and should this restore our faith and hope by and by partisanship and in this country. yes. and is the right issue and it should have been done millennia ago. it's crazy that it's all right, corruption, and we see this every day with members of congress on both sides leaving and then,
4:26 am
you know, getting handed this lucrative lobbying jobs that they were advocating for awhile in government. i'll just say a job. i don't know what i'm putting on a car is on the tape, right. want him to win re election. here's an issue, steve. this, he said, and government is centered or by that within what 3040 years incentive never traded stocks but never think of how crazy. that's right. but that is rare is a rare bird never held stocks and traded stock. how many people know that? how many times does he talk about? how many times does it cost to get his own party? what for not following his own lead on this issue. mm. and that's what i'm talking about. and imation steve, it's like, it's crazy to me if you have that kind of a record. you know, you're making money. pays for go by not be the guy that drives passion off the charts. yeah. jason, your thoughts up? i think it's a great issue. and again, when we talk about the, the populism aspect of this, i think too many people still look at things being the left and the right. as far as kind of a, a flat line with reality. it's much more of a curve. and yes,
4:27 am
there is certain st. many things that you're gonna have the populist right disagree with. the populace left the on issues such as government accountability. when we see training stock, that is ridiculous. i, i see that that annoys me on the words i can use on elders here without getting in trouble. but it makes me so angry to see these elected officials going out and doing that. and that's why i think president trump will step in and say this. so we're going to go and get this law actually passed. we're going to do this quite frankly. i think we also need to, we just made news there. if, if he's elected, he's going to get these going to pass this in a law, he's already set that he wants to get rid of that the numbers shouldn't be doing that. present. trump is also said the support of a term limits. the have too many folks who spent their entire careers in government neither rotate that through. and so present trumps on very good on this. and i also think too, i know we're getting towards the end of the segment. there are some issues about some of the forward money coming in with joe, but maybe that's why he wasn't worried about trading stocks because he had other cash that was coming in. a lot of that being discussed with hunter in the d o. j.
4:28 am
that's for another 2nd. last quickie. what's the best piece of advice if you were working for president trump? that you would get president problem if you're working for president fight and you will give the president biased to go 1st. if you go ahead, if i was giving advice to joe biden, i would say only 2 events between 10 am and 4 pm, because everyone knows that you're not a morning person. you're not even person, you're best transfer those few hours in the middle of the day where they can get you pumped up. keep it within that, that sweet spot. they fast, you know, i, he's not been back onto it, or steve has not been back on the youtube yet, or facebook, and i, you think, you know, it's somebody, he's still controlling a lot of narrative without actually having been on the platforms that were really responsible for a lot of his rights and i gave him too much advice there, but you know, there's opportunities for actually thinking for storing it up as a like we could start a business like creating place with that. thank you for this conversation. very simple, very interesting. very candid jason miller, senior advisor to the trump 2024 campaign and fast shakira senior advisor to
4:29 am
senator bernie sanders. thank you so much for being with us today. this is terrific . thank you. thank you. so what's the bottom line? we get it in through z as in matters when candidates are trying to get out the vote . the intensity of support these days is tied to strident anti establishment posturing that attack some of the main pillars of american society. donald trump, is it 40 percent popularity? because folks worry about him. and joe binds that about 40 percent, because he sort of blan biden's happy to play the middle, but trump is willing to go to the extreme. so brace yourselves for another polarizing intense, take no prisoners year ahead. and that's the bottom line. the, the cost of a thing. food is the foundation of human civilization. but food today is a global commodity. 50 industry did not make money. how many people would be on and
4:30 am
how it's cultivated, the contentious debates, public interest and the public safety is definitely not taking precedence and in depth examination into i agree basis. and the conflicting interests play industry doesn't want any regulation. they just want to put the products on the market. the price of progress on o g, a 0 to the journey of almost 10 years in which the shakonda award for translation and international understanding has become the most important translation award from to the arabic language. in the world, the award announces that the nomination period, so 2023 starts from the 1st of march to the 31st of july. applications are accepted through the awards official website at w w, w dot h t, a dot q a the
