diagnosis went public, biden made headlines over comments during an interview with bet journalist ed gordon. >> is there anything you would look to, you personally, not other pungent's, not family members, that you would look to to say if you see that i will reevaluate. >> some medical condition that emerges. doctors say you have this problem or that problem. amy: later in the same interview, biden appeared to forget the name of his secretary of defense lloyd austin, referring to him as "the black man". separately on wednesday, california congressmember and u.s. senate candidate adam schiff publicly called on biden to "pass the torch", after reports he told donors privately biden could cost democrats the presidency and the senate if he stays in the race. this comes amid reports that top democrats nancy pelosi, and party leaders chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries, have directly expressed concerns to president biden over his ability to beat trump. meanwhile, biden has been the subject of backlash this week over comments he made in an interview with journalist speedy morman on complex, where bi

the last question was asked yesterday, let's listen, the president gave an interview to journalist ed gordonr biden in any condition, and will vote for kamala haris, of course, and the famous silicon valley is located there. so, elon musk, the richest man in america, leaves california, he stops paying taxes there, he starts paying taxes in the state of texas, which will always vote republican. why? let's get it let's listen. this is the last straw. state of california, to starbice base in texas. a year ago, i made it clear to governor newsom that laws of this nature would force families and businesses to leave california to protect their children. the transgender law prohibits school teachers from telling parents that their children want to change their sexual orientation. musk couldn’t stand it, well, after a short advertisement, let’s talk about what is happening in china now, a very important plenum of the central committee of the communist party of china after the advertisement, lev, lev, see how he they've cleared it out, no need for a screwdriver, uh-huh, no traces, no break-in, there'

became parliament's youngest mp aged 27 before becoming a junior minister under tony blair and gordon brown. and ed barrister shabana mahmood becomes justice secretary, she was one of the first female muslim mps and only the second female justice secretary, following liz truss. beyond the cabinet, sir keir has also made some notable junior minister appointments, including james timpson, chief executive of the timpsons cobblers chain. he's known for employing ex—prisoners and was made the new minister for prisons, parole and probation. sir patrick vallance, who was chief scientific adviser to the government during the pandemic, has been appointed science minister. joining me now is matthew taylor, the current chief executive of the nhs confederation. previously, he served as an advisor to former prime minister tony blair. good to talk to you and thank you forjoining us. 0bviously, good to talk to you and thank you forjoining us. obviously, you are an insider and you have seen the way that cabinet works. we have a new cabinet now, which i havejust talked about a second ago. what other big challenges,

where is he if you are going to place him on a tony blair— gordon brown or ed miliband spectrum?ht find unsatisfying. my experience of working with keir is that he is one of the most evidence—based, evidence driven politicians i've worked with and i'm excited about that. when the civil service and government work well together, the politicians are able to respond to the evidence often presented by the civil service about what works. have you actually solve this problem? keir is so driven by i don'tjust want to talk about it, i want the thing that is actually going to unlock it and he often gets criticised along this route saying he has changed his views on this or that, but my experience is that you are sitting in a room, talking to the evidence and he says write that scaly not going to work, let's do that instead. the politicians who terrify me are those that can't change their minds in the face of evidence. but when ou minds in the face of evidence. but when you are _ minds in the face of evidence. but when you are presented with evidence and say three potential policy solution

let's speak to lord wood, stuart wood, former treasury adviser and an adviser to gordon brown and edssible to know when you're not in government and what isn't. what is possible to know is what the obr, the office for budget responsibility projects the amount of tax revenue to be. it is possible to work out the total amount the government says it wants to spend. but it is not possible to work out individual programmes, and whether the commitments, the policies government has made are properly funded, and in general, this is a normal part of government in the normal course of things, things like pupil numbers changing, which means the amount of money going into school has to change. all these things are normal. what rachel reeves is accusing jeremy hunt of the day, and it is quite a brutal accusation, is that there were commitments made and money hidden knowingly, and the office for budget responsibility seems to be confirming that they were not aware of money in the last few months that was not declared to them. that is quite a serious accusation over and above the general problem of

gordon chang was with me last hour, his op-ed, will the debate dedebacle lead china to start world warned should we be about the president's functioning? >> very concerned. i don't think our enemies will only take dangerous actions between 10:00 a.m. an 4:00 p.m. every day. we need a president that's functioning 24/7. the fact of the matter, what we saw, what the world saw on the debate stage was joe biden clearly is impaired, he clearly is not functioning anywhere near 100% capacity. he's a shadow of who he used to b i think this has been a coverup of epic proportions, the truth will eventually come out and it's absolutely i chilling quite frankly. cheryl: now we're seeing this morning a lot of the mainstream media outlets starting to circle the wagons around joe biden, changing their tune. but at the same time, you need a president that at 3:00 a.m. if he gets woken up to make a major decision, he needs to be a alert. congressman pat fallon, thank you for being here. appreciate it. >> thanks, cheryl, thanks, gods bless. cheryl: you too. coming up, the supreme court expected to give t

ed miliband. yes, he was the cabinet minister in gordon brown's government who pioneered the 2008 legislation committingions. now, subsequent international estimates put our over a £1 trillion cost, making ed miliband the most expensive policymaker in british history. he is now in charge of great british energy, which , according british energy, which, according to a leaked audio clip from shadow chief secretary to the treasury darren jones, will cost hundreds of billions of pounds. >> we're still absolutely committed to it. it's still one of the top five priorities, and it's going to be a huge amount of effort to get there. we'll have to move quite quickly, but a lot of the coverage of the news was about that specific 28, which, because journalists like alex made it sound as if we basically junked the whole thing, but we don't have because some people say that like 28 million isn't enough. no. it's tiny. i've got people who work hundreds of billions of pounds. we need more great starmer will realise very quickly that everything in britain is now his problem, including his own cabinet. >> let's get the

. >> that's the bank of england, thanks to gordon brown and ed balls and growth. >> no, but if he iff he can make the lives of people better in places like clacton and in boston , skegness, clacton and in boston, skegness, then fair juice, i clacton and in boston, skegness, then fairjuice, i think. then fair juice, i think. >> i think keir starmer will fare much better at the next election than than he would otherwise do. but i think there's a question mark about how he actually secures that. you know, he actually makes a difference to people's lives within the space of five years. i think he could probably quite easily do it within ten years. he could. the country is in a mess. he could sort the country out and then move on to that. but right now, going from the mess we are in as a country today, to sort the country out and then make people's lives better with all of the headwinds outside. when you think about what might be happening in america , what might be happening america, what might be happening in europe, i think it's just too tall an order as of now. and i think there's a r

cheryl: gordon, i want to go back to nato for a second because this is an op-ed in the new york times europeans have to shoulder more responsibility for their own defense. and the point being here is that if xi jinping is making these in-roads into china, we know what he's done with the electric car industry, we know he met with matt crohn, obviously the hungary meeting, the recent one today, they don't want just military power. they want economic power. and if we are weak and we -- with our europe boon allies and of -- european allies and with nato, if the we're not strong, if the united states come out strong out of the nato meetings, this signals to me that xi jinping will make further in-roads economically into europe and he's already doing it in africa, we know that final word. >> yes. clearly, they understand they're going to -- there are going to be tariffs on chinese manufactured goods going to europe including evs. that's why we're seeing chinese companies start to build plants in hungary for instance, which is part of the eu. so therefore, they'll be inside the tariff wall.
