brianna let's turn to our panel now, we are joined by former democratic senator from california, barbara boxer and former press secretary under president clinton, joe lockhart senator, you said, give biden two weeks to fix his ailing campaign. it is now been a full week since the debate. we haven't even seen a tv interview or press conference yet. that's not going to come until tomorrow and next week respectively, is he moving too slow on his reset no, i meant two weeks from now the the article you're quoting was run today two weeks. >> i agree with debbie dingell. i disagree with these members who were coming on tv for their five minutes of fame. and pushing out a man who has been one of the greatest president since fdr and bind the way i say, because there are two schools of thought, my school of thought is show us the comeback you've done. your whole life, mr. president, you've come back from personal losses, you've come back from political losses here's the thing about these members and folks who were coming on your station and a lot of if you're experts pushing this man out right now befo

to another term president biden, he acknowledges the next few days are critical former senator barbara boxer knows biden well, and she told the la times give him two weeks to show that he's up for the job. >> is that reasonable two weeks is a long time and of course, two weeks is all through this next day, week that we've got ahead of us. >> and then after that as the republican convention, a lot of democrats are feeling like this is already been a week and they need to see more of joe biden than they have seen before of course, we're starting to see more okay. i'm but it's still not a lot had about half an hour total of biden in public since the debate on thursday and in all of the speeches that he's given, he's been on a teleprompter for all of them. those are the sorts of things that sit in people's minds and make them uncomfortable when your house democrat or top or democratic operative, looking at how to win in november, both for the presidency and for other offices. and so that's why there is so much focus on this interview that will be on abc news on friday and and these events that b

the polling is result not of the debate but the media reporting of the debate, which has been as barbara boxerd yesterday on it on a program here that i was on, joe biden's son has been pummeled behind the scenes, as well as in the media and hopefully as beginning yesterday, that focus will shift now and we will start hearing more about donald trump once again. and i will tell you that people are beginning to wake up to project 2025 yeah. >> i mean, look candidly, i think a lot of a lot more americans watched the debate then tend to, you know, even be in this kind of an ecosystem which i think seems to be the challenge. i mean, senator, do you think the white house has been candid about the state of the president's health. yes. i mean, look all right. good example. kasie love you, but that's a nothing burger now. okay. that's that's three days old and they've answered the questions and we are going back to the correction last night. they might have understand that, but we're going back and replaying things that the doctors have said exactly what happened and one would expect an her rollo just

he and his counterpart, former california senator barbara boxer had different backgrounds and different beliefs but found common ground and accomplished truly remarkable feats like rewriting a chemical safety law and crafting the first long-term highway bill in nearly a decade. t both of them had a tremendous sense of responsibility re regarding infrastructure and believed very strongly -- so they were able to overcome their differences and do what many felt like couldn't be done. another thing about being with him when traveling is that he maintained a rigorous schedule while on congressional delegation trips. in fact, in every facet of his life. there were usually whirl winds and there were other occasions, he would set out on a power walk and like me he had no sense of directions and would get back through others. i truly enjoyed traveling with him on multiple he could dels as we met so many american troops serving abroad bhwhile learning more how better to support their needs and mission defending the interests of our country. knowing senator hoch at -- senator inhofe meant you knew

when i attended dianne feinstein's funeral not that long ago, senator barbara boxer from california immediatelye at the funeral and said how's my friend jim? for a very conservative oklahoman, had a long-standing friendship with a very liberal californian, and they found ways to be able to work together. as jack reed mentioned earlier, a democrat from rhode island and a republican from oklahoma worked very hard on national defense and found their common ground together. though there are many things that jim inhofe will be recognized for, he will be remembered for his work in africa. jim inhofe visited 172 african country visits in the time he served in the senate, more than any other senator in the history of the senate. he spent in africa. he visited leaders over and over again in africa developing deep relationships and friends. every time i meet an african leader here in washington, d.c. and they hear i'm from oklahoma, the first or second thing they'll say to me is do you know my friend jim inhofe and i will proudly say yes and that african leader will say he's been my friend for years beca
