former nato allied commander, james stavridis, and ben rhodes, former national security adviser in the obama white house. peter, we're really at a crossroads here. the administration has spent, since october 7th -- well, actually, since october 18th or 19th when the refugee camp was bombed, which was the first breach by many inside the state department and elsewhere in israel by using a 2,000-pound bunker buster bomb. that night i met with a top democratic senator, long ally of israel saying, what is going on here? those are u.s. weapons! and israel said that they were going after one hamas terrorist underground. and that's when the u.n. secretary general turned against israel. maybe, you know, the u.n. has always been arguably biased against israel, but that's when everything turned. and joe biden stuck with them, but now people publicly in the administration are on the record saying we don't know what our closeiest ally is doing. >> that's particularly striking from the president's remarks earlier this day, his fourth and final time addressing the general assembly. he wanted to make

you probably saw when i was talking to deputy security riser ben rhodes about this, you also have theder hakeem jeffries reiterating of the united states while support for israel continues will also support president biden's efforts at de- escalation. do you believe that the israeli prime minister has gone rogue? he is not even listening to the u.s.? the u.s. is saying things like we are working towards a cease- fire deal getting allies on board and he comes to america and orders a strike with american bombs, american planes and undercutting, not just president biden but the democratic nominee, vice president harris. >> the political issue is front and center. beyond that, but consider what netanyahu has done. israel does have a right to defend itself but what are we looking at? 40,000 civilians or 30,000 civilians killed in gaza and still no end to that. now the widening of this war into lebanon. i don't know, a couple thousand already in lebanon. where is netanyahu going to go with this thing ? it seems to me he is just plain determined to wage war rather than to seek a peaceful set

joining me now is ben rhodes, former deputy national security adviser in the obama administration andd save the world. ben, thank you for being here. i'm eager to get your thoughts about whether this is an unvarnished attempt on the part of benjamin netanyahu to run out the clock until november, whei supposin his hopes trump wins and any potential deal would require far less concessions on the part of benjamin nyahu. >> there's not a lot of mystery to this, alex. what is interesting is there's a lot more public discussion of it in israel, in the media and on the street, then even here in the united states. it has been clear for a long time that benjamin netanyahu's political survival is tied to the perpetuation of the war. he avoided the account ability for the failureoctober 7th, he tried to divide his opposition, as he has always done, and he has moved to the goalposts in the cease-fire negotiations. there was an absurdity, alex, in the spring to joe biden going out and presenthat he called an israeli proposal, that israel's negotiators had talked about with american mediators but t

that is almost a direct quote from the israeli army's chief of staff. >> ben rhodes, at this hour, ihat since the months since october 7 have been problematic, to say the least but now we are possibly one step closer, we might be closer to selling something, we don't know. what is going on at the white house, what can the white house and the american administration be doing right now? >> to tell you the truth, they are just not driving events. every time there is a wave of escalation in lebanon, what we hear is that the u.s. government wasn't even notified. in that, the u.s. government is saying that, as well. they don't necessarily want to be held responsible, even though it is u.s. weapons and they should clear before they drop bombs like they did on hezbollah like they probably killed u.s. civilians. those are u.s. bombs. the u.s. is involved but it is the israeli government driving this escalation. what the u.s. is concerned about is the risk of that kind of regional escalation. we don't know what form it could tape-record could take the form of an israeli ground invasion of leba

joining our conversation, former deputy national security adviser under president barack obama, ben rhodes is here. mike memoli is also here. ben, these parents shared their grief. they spoke at the democratic convention. they worked with politicians on both sides of the aisle in this country and around the world and days ago, yesterday, they got the worst news possible about their son. >> yeah, it's unimaginable the loss they feel. and it's a reminder of the humanity at the center of this conflict. it's been grinding on since october 7th, almost a year now. what strikes when you hear the voices of those parents is that they're individual human beings, individual stories that are at the center of all this. and individual people that are suffering. as this does grind on. i think the other thing that's been noteworthy, of course, is the activism of these families. they've been very prominent in israeli politics and in israeli media trying to keep the attention on the plight of the hostages and they've been very outspoken in their belief that prime minister netanyahu needs to adjust his posit

hala gorani is reporting and ben rhodes.sed to change the security balance in north, what's happening, what's the latest? >> reporter: well, the lebanese people, chris, are very resilient, they've weathered many crises, many wars, but i've spoken to some of my sources and indeed friends in that country and they're very, very nervous. the israeli prime minister has issued a message directly to civilians telling them to evacuate. to not remain in areas where the israeli military believes hezbollah might have hid in weaponry, but israeli -- i'm sorry lebanese civilians are saying we don't know where some of these secret weapons are stored, they're secret that's the whole point. you mentioned over 270 killed, that's a very high death toll, perhaps the highest daily death toll since the lebanese civil war, there are people who are picking up their kids from school, there are traffic jams in the south of lebanon where some of these bombardments are taking place and hezbollah is responding with rockets and projectiles of its own. f

thank you, ben rhodes. >>> we will talk about must win north carolina.s? voters? my daughter is being treated for leukemia. subject 2: mom, mom, mom, mom. subject 3: i hope that she lives a long, great, happy life and that she will never forget how mom and daddy love her. st. jude, this is what's keeping my baby girl alive. subject 4: this september, you can join the battle to save lives during childhood cancer awareness month by supporting st. jude children's research hospital. for just $19 a month, you'll help us continue the lifesaving research and treatment these kids need now and in the future. subject 5: cancer makes me feel angry, not in the feel on the outside, just the inside. i'm angry at it.

[music playing] subject 4: 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer in the us will not survive. [music playing] subject 7: those that donate to st jude, i hope that you will continue to give. they have done so much for me and my

i think ben rhodes had that sense, too, from talking to folks close to her. the campaign believes she would benefit enormously from another debate performance like the last one. and she has this insult that's everywhere. there's an opportunity as claire said. if i'm so impaired, why don't you debate me, anywhere, any time. >> this is embarrassing. we know what he thinks of women. we know what he's said on the leaked "access hollywood" tape and about e. jean carroll. we got a preview when he was running against nikki haley, calling her nimrod and bird-brain. >> right. bird-brain. >> any time he goes toe to toe with a woman of color, he begins to evolve. in addition to everything you have laid out, the other reason i think it's important is there's a small but meaningful subset of voters to whom all of that happened in the past, and it has not yet so fully shaped their thinking on him that they're prepared to make a candidate choice. so he continues to give them new data points, which is why lindsey graham and other republicans are begging him, voters have some
