mess things up, christine brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary 4 years ago, joe biden ran for you as president, calling himself a bridge candidate, a bridge to the future. many people understood that to mean a one term president who would heal the nation after 4 years of donald trump. so why is buying intent on winning a 2nd term where he says things have changed, the world has changed. but that was he. and that has democrats weren't a bite run for a 2nd term. could he end up building a bridge to another 4 years for donald trump and broke off in berlin. this is the day the

i'm the terminals running for and i think it's important and i real, i am a few years. i see, let them see me out. i've tested every single day. i know logic past the decisions i make every day. a consideration is that i think i'm the most qualified person to run for president. so there's a long way to go this campaign. and so i, uh, i'm just gonna keep moving. i just kind of just paste myself and paste myself hopefully coming up victor or bon goes ro, the hon. gary and leader made trips to key moscow, beijing, announcer washington on the mission. he says, to end the war in you. great or? well, he was in k, if i didn't know that he will go to woodson or a dan to china, and he says, now to trump. yes. so what was the question where he will go tomorrow?

i didn't know because you, our viewers watching on tv as in the united states into all of you around the world . welcome. we begin today with a president who refuses to let go with the reins of power. you as president joe biden is standing firm in the face of rising calls to a band and his bid for re election in november. for the past 2 weeks, the road has watched every move by the president listened to his every word. would it be by the elder statesman or biden, the elderly statesman with the president's mental fitness has been under scrutiny since he appeared confused at the debate with donald trump last month. and there are reports of possible plotting within the democratic party against by several major donors have threatened to withhold funding. if i remains on the ticket in november or the president needed most was a blunder. free performance, no notes,

no teleprompter. and that brings us to nato's 75th anniversary conference in washington d. c. this week. take a look. now, i want to hand it over to the president, ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination page. i'm a president big president present list so focus on being food is we gotta worry about it anyway as president, i'm bet you are helpful. thank you so much. what concerns do you have about vice president harris's ability to be donald trump? if she were at the top of the ticket book, i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president. i think she's not qualified to be present. so start there

to listen to him. thank you everybody and everyone. all right, to talk more about that speech bite and where things are headed on joined tonight by more than the devotee. she's the international chair for democrats abroad. that is the official organization for democrats living outside the united states. so she joys me tonight from amsterdam in the netherlands. it's good to have you where this martha. i'd like to compare notes with you. if i may, i watch president by the press conference last night, as i'm sure you probably did as well. what with through your mind as you watched or well what. what went through my mind is that i am listening to the president and

the head of the democratic party of a democratically elected president who's doing everything you can to make more things possible for americans. of course, we're watching him with great, great interest right now. he had a bad night at the debate a couple of weeks ago. so there's a lot of scrutiny on president biden at the moment. but frankly, there's very little scrutiny around his opponent, president trump, who lied his way through the debate. i want to talk about that too, and i want to talk about it a tauriel that came out of the new york times today about former us president donald trump. i'm but i'm going to stay with the buying campaign for just a moment. a lot has happened in the past 2 weeks since the presidential debate. we see more and more members of congress coming out against biden's re election campaign. just in the last 24 hours. there are reports that former house speaker, nancy pelosi and former president brock obama. they have talked privately about

this situation. i mean, i know i can't expect you to be an inside. are there what's going on? but have you heard anything about, you know, these highest ranking members of the democratic party now talking about something that has to be done to save this campaign as well. president binding is the democratically elected nominated the democratic party in this election cycle. 156 primaries in all 50 states and territories. $14000000.00 votes in a process with $3900.00 plus delegates. and i think it's a sign of the health of our party and our elected leaders are speaking with the president with each other about winning their selection. now, you know, i'm not in the room for any of those conversations. and our senior leaders who let us through great victories that know empower possible in 201820202223. of course they care passionately about the outcome of the selection. the solution

is ex extension. for american democracy. the president had a bad night at that debate. um and it's really important that our party talk about what kind of a future we want to happen. so i think that's a sign of a healthy party or certainly not seeing the republican party talk about whether their candidate is viable and that says everything about our to liked about our 2 political parties of nancy pelosi, brock obama. neither can speak for the future of the democratic party if you're talking about the, the next generation. and yet, it is, seems to be those members of the old guard of the party, if you will, who continued to steer and control the party is that, is that where the party should be? it is the locus of power. be there right now for the democratic party in your opinion, to well, you know, chose line is the leader of the democratic party right now. and you know,

because our party is democratic, there's going to be a lot of elected leaders who use their voice to speak very, very deeply about the outcome of this election. you know, i think that joe biden is somebody who's bought a lot of young people into his administration and those are creating new new leaders for the future that are going to be the future of our party. i think his wisdom, his perspective, his connections and all of his experiences is what's really have him achieve all of his wins. so age doesn't have to necessarily be something that's negative. but let me ask you market. are you confident that if she wins re election in november, that he will be able to serve out a 2nd term completely? i mean, is there, is there more doubt or is there any doubt in your mind compared to what may have been in your mind? 2 weeks ago before the presidential debate as well, i certainly cannot see into the future. and i think that there are many people who

are sharp and articulate and able to function, you know, very well we, we don't have any predictors about had any of that goes. my perspective on joe biden has not changed since that debate. the president had a bad night, he missed spoke. i did listen to the debate and i heard hear and heard and pick up energy throughout the debate. and again, i think it's really unimportant and a strong sign of our party that we're having conversations. the conversation is about how do we win the election in november? and joe biden is part of that conversation, but that's with everybody the democratic party cares about. that's why there is so much conversation going on right now is because it's so important that democrats with this i'm next step. but martha, that's exactly what the conversation is not about right now. you're seeing more and more members of congress coming out against joe, by the seeking a 2nd term. and this was not happening 2 weeks ago. i mean, these are major,

major risk that are opening up in the democratic party in the last 2 weeks. is this something that job i can survive and go and successfully win re election and event? well, again, joe biden is the nominee of our party. and the way our elect to our elections work is that he is going to be nominated by the party unless something else happens unless he steps back. and he will be the nominee of our party and then we will, you know, to everything we can to make sure that she went to make sure that we went back to house to make sure that we went back to set. you know, that was the way that our process is set up. we've been through the entire primary process. we chose them as our candidate. there is a lot of conversation going on right now. let's see how that turns out. but as the process moves forward at the moment job, i think is our nominee, and it really is up to terabyte. and what he does the situation with president by

the as we were just saying it speaks to generational change. i want you to take a listen to what a reporter asked the president last night in washington. in 2020, you referred to yourself as being a, a bridge candidate for a younger, fresher generation of democratic leaders. and i wanted to know what changed. what change was the gravity of the situation i inherited in terms of the economy, our foreign policy in domestic division. and i think i, i'm gonna put words anybody's mouth most president. so stories give me credit for heavy accomplished more than most of the presses since johnson, and maybe before that kit and major piece of legislation passed more than i remember when a candidate biden made that promise that he would be

a bridge candidate. is he going back on his word now by running for re election as well? president bite. we did say that he was providing a bridge and that he would probably serve one turn. and i think, you know, that's up to you again, him as a leader as a candidate to decide when is the right moment for him to step aside for someone else. and in this election, he decided that he needed to run and he did he, the one, the problem is analysis choice. and you know, that's the way the system works. and i understand that there's people to feel like he made a promise to step to, to stay for one term, and he's staying for a 2nd term. but again, the american people vote at the american people chose 14000000 people voted for joe biden. and here we are. next week the republican party behold, it's convention and donald trump will be nominated as the g o. p. candidate for

president of the united states for the 3rd time at 8 years. the new york times editorial board today published and opinion piece entitled donald trump is unfit to lead. they write that the democrats are right in debating whether or not biding is right for re election. they go on to say that the republicans have failed to do exactly the same thing with donald trump, so they say it will be up to the voters in november to make the final analysis. martha in your opinion, will the voters with a reject joe biden? if he remains on the ticket and give the white house to donald trump. well, i think the outcome of the service election is going to come down to americans showing up to vote. i mean, that's why we had democrats abroad are so committed and so busy right now, making sure that every american who has a broad goes developed abroad dot org and registers to vote and does their part to

save our democracy. i have great confidence in the american people making the choice that they need to make in november to, to make sure that our democracy endorse and supportive demonic democratic institutions. and you know, a lot of americans are concerned about this outcome of the selection. that's why this media cycle is so interesting to americans, but it's because they're fearful of trump presidency. and they want to see democrats when and i think that the people i talked to as soon as they realized that the thing they can do is to vote. and to invite somebody else to vote, i think that people will show up in november. i think the choice will be clear. we are 4 months out from election 4 months isn't maternity. and there is plenty of time for people to mobilize around the democratic candidate and get out in both. yeah, the question is, will that candidate the job i time will tell martha indic, debit q international chair for democrats abroad market. we appreciate you taking their time to talk with us on this friday evening. thank you.

and gary and leader to oregon is a man on the mission last week just brings it to his country's rotating presidency of the european union or bon arrive and ukraine in talk severe. he urge the president bought them as a landscape to consider a ceasefire with russia whereby and continued his self styled peace mission with a visit the mos scale. he said that he told russian president vladimir putin, that europe needs peace. and then he asked for a cease fire, which putin refused shortly after keys and moscow or bon next journey to b j. and he said that he sees china as a key power in creating the conditions for peace in ukraine of all places. you called it a stabilizing force and on certain level, tall young tony. well, that trio

a trips were they were part of unauthorized and coordinated push for peace. the so called push for peace or bind side stepping his european in need of counterparts. and they were quick to point out that he was acting on his own initiative and not on their behalf. take unless of course we so long as it's not that percent thing they don't at these meetings. he's representing his own country. they're what they're doing, presidency of defense, we present you with each to and the life on this a, a clear, a clear position and this visit to paid by the prime, the self injury. watch that the visitor on behalf of the you were just hours after the nato summit in washington or bon met with former us president donald trump. the meeting took place at drums more or longer with state in florida. the pay are reportedly discussed the possibility of ending the war in ukraine. now in a post on social media or bon said,

we discussed ways to make peace. the good news of the day he's going to solve it. now that means it will likely further aggregate and frustrate western allies. well, for more now, i'm joined by daniel. take a do. she's a senior fellow with the german marshall fund. his special focus is on central and eastern europe. daniel, it's good to have you on the program this evening. what do you think, victor or bon, what do you think he's up to a good evening. thank you for telling me. i think we can consider 2 different scenarios. one of these i've seen before on this i'm gary and diploma for the past 5 years. is actually one of these documentation about how far the regime of prime minister oregon tangled or false is capital. or it's actually the sorts of gamble

be the primary a to extend the order to go to alternate means for a policy alternately. so here we interest and actually to so what disruption you're paying for it then and secondary, the policy actually facing for uh for and the next row be 3 alternatives from $1.00 to 6 of november and in the country and the european section rekey environment, their dollar trauma and we and effectively act towards actually assessed the some of the best compromise because well that would go then with, with the 1st possibility you mentioned that we have been mis reading the, the potential of the, or bon government and his plans. do you think that he is rubbing his hands and hoping that donald trump, when the presidential election in november 8, that that's because i am certain the prime minister on the school team model is

actually one baskets. and that's the elect for all the 3 of the trump. this is steven nothing you. he had the same position back in 2016 and, and funny funny, actually, the real challenge with this situation is that at parentheses, kremser or bunk doesn't have any plan to be and trolling. actually european partners with that intensity until november the these, the knocks us the label can lead to potentially the sanction which might even cut short on gabriel cost. ringback so i think he is either in a risk to gamble or be certainly me scouts it's, it's, and i should be able to see the next 2 beats that are you going to watch that escalation or an escalation? if he does police, then i think it was assigned to what's happened over the past about these for some reason the just let me start some nation on the bottom. well, if he is miscalculating, and if, if he keeps miscalculating up until the moment when donald trump does not win the

presidential election, then you're saying that that could possibly result in hungary losing the rotating presidency of the issue. that would be unprecedented. what then of the beyond the presidency, but what we have seen over the past week, i would say that's events or uncle the various of space you're in member space already started volleyball team to transform itself that i'm here. we on foster presidency and new york was, will actually discussing costs either in the various options. this is the 1st time over the cost for 2 years that the conflict between the union is actually not the conflict between the hungary, enter your pin comments nor hungary. i mean, in parliament, but i can get free and 2526 other member states. i think it's words mentioned that on wednesday when the, when the european embassy actually question the good so that i'm gillian government and so forth. core up,

the appointment 25 member states. i raced to discuss the issue and things size. that idea we didn't cover. there was only one. so wait. yeah. it's reframe from the discussion which shows that i'm going to use to be a known practically against one member states of the internet. well, how much per for the european union need then if it were to take an action of ending hunger res, rotating presidency position. i mean, we've seen or bon visit the he, you know, he did go to key, but then he went to see the russian president. he went to see the chinese president, and now he's been tomorrow logo in florida to see the former us president need help . how much prove does the european union need that victor, oregon is trying to undermine the u. s. it gets to the question of cruise. it's a, it's a question of all actually a couple of minutes. the question that are you, member states will see that he continues to ask for it. and i think in that case

people are intensely consider. oh, that's a 2 last last resort. for example, something short of the, of the concert presidency or member states was see to or that was the price to moderate. and i think this is also send, are you can happening next week. um i think we have to close the watch to for a number as possible on, on july 20. and it was so whether there will be any surprise visits made by that and get reassigned to the spring the next coming space of weeks for actually to resolve them. uh or uh, what other i would say, rather questionable destinations and better as he will continue to be use actually the perception that use the institution of the doctor presidency and the perception that he's speaking in the name of the you or you see continues desperate. i think that will also guide you partners to the direction that he needs to be extra. you

know, it's certainly um, a drama that is unfolding before our eyes and we will following. but what you say, daniel, we will find out sooner rather than later. if victor or bon is europe's public enemy number one daniel hagar do with a german marshal fund day, and we appreciate your time in your valuable analysis this friday. thank you. thank you. thank you for now to a matrimony a moment made by money. lots of money, the wedding of the son of india as rich as man is under way in by 4 days and celebrations as a not a bonny and ranika merchant try the knocked the guest list. it reads like a who's who of international celebrities. the finish line is finally insight the off the 7 long months of celebration. this great indian wedding is coming to
