and i have been saying for 4 years, gavin newsom in gretchen whitmore. and, and by the way, nothing is an impression but, but we, we knew this, then there is no way that the democratic party remember the, the, the down ballot. the other races are also suffering tragically. so they have to do something and gavin, those and so far may be the best at the most optimum. but i will put my money in as of today, him and also gretchen whitmore, which asks you which begs the question, what happens is comma harris. she's the vice president. that'll be interesting. interesting, and the legal and media analysts line. oh, thank you. thank you. the rest of the defense ministry has released the video showing the moment when it's forces destroyed a ukrainian military helicopter. the attack occurred at an air base and ukraine's eastern pole top origin aircraft surface vehicles were also eliminated. versus defense ministry has reported. ukraine has lost more than 1700 soldiers over the past day. well, as the conflict rate is on, there is no longer a unified voice in key of

she pickup pennsylvania, if it was, gretchen whitmore in michigan. she pickup, michigan, or roy cooper in, in north carolina. i'd urge years to be very skeptical about the something that i've done a lot of research on what we call the home state advantage that you would do better in the v p can it's home state. we see that kind of helps a visual presidential candidate, but not for vice presidential candidates. so uh, well, that doesn't make any of the ones that i just named about pick after. think. gretchen whitworth particularly be a good one. and i would caution against making that, that kind of a judgment simply based on which state they would come from. they come from it as if voters just, you know, automatically vote for a ticket is v b comes from their state, write them for you want to leave it there. that was chris, divine associate professor of political science at the university of dayton, ohio. thank you. and we have had some reaction to jo, binds announcement here in germany from german chancellor, all off shorts. he prays bite and on the

i think the top 2 candidates, if there are top 2 after cumberland, harris would be governor gretchen whitmore, of michigan. she survived an attempted kidnapping um by some radicals, a few years back around the 2020 election. she's been a, a loud, pragmatic voice in the democratic party, who is a strong leader. and i think that actually who is probably in the lead, if it's not tomlin harris, and possibly even if it is calmer, harris is sitting california governor gavin knew some he has taken it straight on to the republicans. he debated governor round the santas, mago republic and from florida on fox news and, and handled that extremely well. he's been advertising nationally and he has a well regarded leader in the democratic party as well. uh, regardless of who they pick, they need to make a decision fast. don't say whether they stick with buying or um they look for another replacement. yeah, so the democratic convention is coming up here in chicago, around august 19th, i believe is when it starts. and they need to have this settled before then there are people calling for this to be settled

for example, the michigan governor um, gretchen whitmore. but she's, she's, she seems to be less considered for this role than the other white man. make of that what you will button josh shapiro seems to be in special focus this time around because he's the governor of pennsylvania. he's popular and he's considered he is from one of the most win states, one of those blue wall states that they are trying to preserve in this election, those blue law states, of course being michigan of pennsylvania and wisconsin. and he's of course, uh promised to also do quote everything i can to help elect the camera ahead us as a for example, the president of the united states. but where does a harris out all the how does, how does entering the presidential res, effect donald trump's campaign strategy? you know, that's a really good question and full on immigration. so on the border and immigration was a small part of harris's portfolio, was vp, she was in charge of researching root causes of migration into the southern border . so this is probably going to

i think the top 2 candidates, if there are talk to after calmer harris would be governor gretchen whitmore, of michigan. she survived an attempted kidnapping. um by some radicals, a few years back around 2020 election. she's been a, a loud, pragmatic voice in the democratic party who is a strong leader. and i think that actually who is probably in the lead, if it's not kamel harris and possibly even if it is calmer, harris is sitting california governor gavin newsome. he has taken it straight on to the republicans, he debated. governor round the santas, mago republican from florida on fox news and handle that extremely well. he's been advertising nationally and he is a well regarded leader in the democratic party as well. it's been 80 years since the failed assassination plot to kill out of hitler. today, germany is commemorating the uprising at the resistance memorial center in berlin. president frank voucher stein meyer, attended a reef lane ceremony in memory of those involved in the attempted crew against the nazi dictator. on july 20th 1944, chancellor old lock shows said the resistan

speaker, 9 people, lucy's husband, paul polosa, the attempted kidnapping of michigan governor uh gretchen whitmore. so this is the message that he has been trying to say. it is basically enough, is enough, it is time to cool things down. and that has to happen now. janelle, its only been one day since this attempted assassination. can we say at this point, whether in fact we're seeing efforts from these political actors, to calm things down of the, by and large. steven? yes, both thought trump and by then have called for unity as have many, as has a many in their respective parties. on the side of the democrats, they took steps immediately to full attack ads attacking donald trump off the air. there was a campaign, there was a memo that circulated among the campaign staff, a warning them not to stay off the social media, to refrain from commenting on social media and on the part of the republicans. you have the likes of our house speaker, mike johnson, making the round saying it's time to turn down the rhetoric. but there have also been more incendiary voices that you had, for example, a lot house

michigan, governor gretchen whitmore, california governor, govern use kamala harris has already made history once by being the 1st female and the 1st black vice president of the united states. she was in no hurry to get rid of fighting, initially holding the line for him. after his disastrous debate performance, as we believe in our president joe biden, and we believe in what he stands for, the soonest to this. others began to push the hood to replace him. if he stepped aside, it's a scenario. few would have predicted just a couple of years ago. the still of her vice presidency was overshadowed by criticism. some said harris was failing to make the most of her role and was being an effective. how are the supports his claim, she was being sidelined and held to a higher standard because she was a woman on black. yet perhaps on surprisingly for one who managed to become the vice president of the us. she's not the person to back down there going to be many times in your life where you're going to be told that can't be done. it's never been done before. it's not time, they're not ready fo

and this is michigan governor gretchen whitmore, and pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. now, there is a lot of democrats now who say like, well, if biting drops out, camella harris is the top of the ticket, and then she should maybe get a miss whitmeyer from michigan, the governor there, or mr. shapiro on her ticket. and then we have a young, a dual, which can and ties view and ties voters in november to vote for democrats that would also help. and that is actually at the core of this, if you want to attempt by many, many democrats against joe biden. and the white house that would also help them to secure dental and the ticket, their own jobs, because it always is also about this. there is lots of democrats in the house, as well as in the senate, some who don't see any more with jo by them that they will be re elected, come november, and they want to secure that. so terminal harris scratch and whittemore, michigan governor or joshua funeral from pennsylvania. those are the 3 contenders in errors here, or just different assignments that are reporting from washington. i wo

kelly, an astronaut from arizona who won in a red state would be a strong candidate. governor gretchen whitmore in michigan again a very important key swing states. she's a strong leader in the democratic party and, and by the way, if the democrats want to do something really kind of wild to shake things up, why not somebody like tom hanks while we're at it? so no vice presidents often have trouble getting out of the shadow of the president . what does kamala harris have to do now to differentiate herself from the administration of job? i, i don't know that she has to do a lot to differentiate herself, you know, to present you a bite and had a very consequential term of creating a massive number of jobs. over 15700000 jobs unemployment was even lower than it was under president trump. before the pandemic, he passed the science and ships at the past the pact app for veterans. the installation reduction act just is a huge set of accomplishments, let alone holding together all of our allies to face down vladimir putin in europe . i mean, she just needs to continue. what president biden has done fo

but is the vice president so does have that platform. gretchen whitmore, a governor of michigan, is a very popular democratic candidate, a personality in a very important swing state. and of course, uh, gavin news. and we heard in that report earlier, the governor of california, huge state, but in terms of size of economy is one of the largest economies in the world actually. and so these are kinds of the candidates, but again, what is room, or what is speculation? what is wishful thinking, what is really happening? these are very difficult things to parse out, and that's something we should be careful looking at and understanding those, those nuances as we go forward. however, this is going to develop, but it's going to develop and, and this could be one for the history books. indeed the greatest. so you really in the, our thanks to dw reporter william who crossed to some of the other stories now making use around the world. so lock you as a prime minister for what fits so has made his 1st public appearance since surviving an assassination attempt. he was received with a standing ova

yeah, govern nice about dba, share, gretchen whitmore, i mean they're all names that are being bound to the route, but i suppose really it's still early days. the, what's happening right now is you have a democratic policy still recovering from both is a does quite situation very politically full. the i'm regrouping and showing the weak this to the republicans is incredibly important, right? not because the republicans are on the wall path. they've already issued a television advertisements criticising couple of harris that says in the office of the starting blocks very quickly or yeah, no, they have clearly a momentum, although president biden is being praised by some folks on the democratic side for being a self was patriot. and getting out today, there be a lot of democrats who say that this was a little bit late and it should have happened much earlier because of the fact that they are trailing. and everybody's know that the trump camp has got there as ready to go. they will tie calmly, harris to all the bite and policies which they have done a great and including immigration. th

it would probably be someone like gretchen whitmore, a governor out of michigan. she's younger, she's up and, and i, and i doubt that that hillary clinton would even consider this, the number 2 spot. it would have to be the 1st spot or not at all. now if, if she's up against harris, i think it's going to be it will be a real food fight once again within the committee and i doubt that i think it will be fractured. i. there will be so many ballots because she was well liked and she has, she has showing that. and trump defeated her once. that's, that's something to keep in mind. and her policy for the problem of her policies will be that she will mirror pretty much the failed by the administration, policies and foreign policy. all right, this is the speak to us. how does this switching of candidates at this very critical time, all the campaigns and the build up to the election? how was it going to affect the trust that americans have on the demo democrats? some of the democratic party, as the case may be, do you think it's going to have any impact on that? oh sure, t

for example, michigan governor gretchen whitmore. but she's, she's, she seems to be less considered for this role than the other white man. make of that what you will button josh shapiro seems to be in special focus this time around because he's the governor of pennsylvania. he's popular and he's considered he is from one of the most win states, one of those blue wall states that they are trying to preserve in this election, those blue wall states, of course being michigan of pennsylvania and wisconsin. and that was the one on speak to me earlier from washington dc. jo biden's run for re election was thrown into disarray late last month, off at a dismal debate performance against donald trump. it was supposed to reinvigorate biden's campaign. instead, it opened the floodgates of doubts or what his ability to win in november or sub another 4 year term as president inflation has it was a moment that changed the trajectory of the 2024 presidential campaigns has increased. making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person

you have gretchen whitmore who was the governor of michigan . she's also a kind of a rising star in the democratic party, but again, not entirely popular, especially on the national level and national point. now there has been talk and this goes all the way back into the early spring. there was talk that there was a design plan here by the obama's actually runs michelle obama, the former 1st lady as the candidate and has been nominated for the democratic party. a lot of people said, this is crazy as a conspiracy theory. and yeah, now that rumor is kind of re surfacing again that maybe she is the one. and by the way, if you really look at all of this, the reality is it looks very much like this has been orchestrated by the obama themselves. not necessarily for michelle obama. i won't go that far, but it does appear that it has been lined up in order for the obama is to remove, bided, and to push in a different canada, whether it's michelle obama, devin newsome, pamela harris, or some other candidates. the other thing they wanted to make sure thou

both a governor is gretchen whitmore, of michigan and gavin newsom of california have made clear that they will not be participating in any type of open primary or do not want to be served on a bike on a presidential ticket. this late in the game right now, and so i think what we're seeing here is, not only are you going to have a number of people who are simply not wanting to be a part of this. but at the same time, i think it least, it closes the door to too many options that perhaps many of those donors and congressional democrats would like to sleep on the ticket. and so now i think the question becomes, you know, how is the party going to actually move through this process? and will, those delegates now simply stay with pamela harris. if in fact she decides to stay at the top of the ticket now, or would they go somewhere else just to go back to a point you were making really about how fluid the situation is. we understand that dr. button is obsessed as a nice as last night in america. a plan to continue to run for president and only told, says senior staff at 1 45 pm eastern stan

gretchen whitmore, of a of michigan, or what have you have to take on michelle obama? what, what, what do you think would be the reaction? well, i think there's 2 reactions. i don't think anybody on the democratic ticket wants to run against trump. because guess what? that's going to hurt their chances. they know they've got what weeks to run. a presidential writ. hm. they're going to lose. so nobody know you've been coming to a harris once that and you know, that's something that we don't discuss a lot. but i think that's exactly what's happening. you have what more and you have gavin newsom. they're saving themselves. so for to 2028. they want an appointment in but clearly what the democrats are doing right now is that they're trying to save all the down valid candidates. they want the congressional races, they want the senatorial races, they want all the down valid seats. that's all they're able to save at this point. it's too late to run. know the president. you would need such name, power and star power to jump in right now. you literally would need a hollywood st

sunday, because all the potential challengers governor got an issue in california governor graft, gretchen whitmore, michigan governor joshua, bureau, pennsylvania. they always stuckey side. they endorse terrace. the party is moving or was moved immediately for a confirmation rather than a contrast or hair us because i got the whole message of unity. the u. s. federal agents have arrested one of the world's most wanted drug lords in texas as miles and bought, also known as a mile, is the co founder of the taurus mexicans to know um, convey uh carto. he was detained along with a walk in guzman lopez, the son of, of chapel goodman. another drug plan who is currently in prison in the us mexico security, dallas, with new mexico. security minister says he was surprised by the detentions, but say that mexican authorities had been informed by the us. julia gallano has moved from mexico city. there remains some confusion, not so much about the circumstances themselves. we know that these 2 men arrived in an airplane, a private small sesna airplane to an air field right outside of paso, texas, where they we

and so it good, you have gretchen whitmore who was the governor of michigan. she's also a kind of a rising star in the democratic party, but again, not entirely popular, especially on, on national level and national point. now there has been talk, and this goes all the way back into the early spring. there was talk that there was a design plan here by the obama's actually runs michelle obama, the former 1st lady as the candidate and has been nominated for the democratic party. a lot of people said, this is crazy. it's a conspiracy theory. and yet now that rumor is kind of re surfacing again, but maybe she is the one. and by the way, if you really look at all of this, the reality is it looks very much like this has been orchestrated by the obama themselves. not necessarily for michelle obama. i won't go that far, but it does appear that it has been lined up in order for the obama is to remove, bided, and to push in a different canada, whether it's michelle obama, devin newsome, pamela harris, or some other candidates. the other thing they wanted to make sure th

gretchen whitmore, of uh, of michigan. or what have you have to take on michelle obama? what, what do you think would be the reaction? well, i think there's 2 reactions. i don't think anybody on the democratic ticket wants to run against trump, because guess what, that's going to hurt their chances. they know they've got what weeks to run a presidential writ. hm. they're going to lose. so nobody know you've been coming to a harris. once that and you know, that's something that we don't discuss a lot, but i think that's exactly what's happening. you have what more, and you have gavin newsom. they're saving themselves. so for to 2028. they want an appointment in but clearly what the democrats are doing right now is that they're trying to save all the down valid candidates. they want the congressional races, they want the senatorial races, they want all the down ballot seats. that's all they're able to save at this point . it's too late to run. know the president. you would need such name, power and star power to jump in right now. you literally would need a hollywood star

is it the gretchen whitmore or is it the governor of california? what do you think? well, i think that the democratic party in general is more or less than the same position regardless of who they nominate. they have been so cabinet by these corporate interest or financial cartels that they really can't present is strong message for the american people. the person i would have said is bernie sanders, but i think that he's also conceded so much ground to the democratic party that most americans now just see him as a democratic parts. and whereas before it used to have more this independent premier. yeah. what i will say, i'll just mention this one last thing, you know, as it's a little bit poetic and i'm not sure if you heard about it, but as president by dropped out of the race on sunday, we also saw the launch of the american communist party standing, it gets both major parties. we've made a lot of waves on line. obviously a very minor, a faction of the american political system so far. but, but a note that things might be changing over the course of the next. yeah.

are they talking about gretchen whitmore right. but, but she has a couple of real problems. does the vice president for one and actually ality her poll numbers and miserable? i mean there is bad in some cases, worse than the president's poll numbers. but apparently, as harris has not been.

you know, 2nd, 3rd or 4th federal to michelle obama and gavin newsome and gretchen whitmore, who are being mentioned way ahead of her by everybody, by the way. but there seems to be some legitimate reasons, by the way, for her dismissal. let's be fair for poll numbers are really bad. i mean, as bad as mr. biters phone numbers in some cases. worse. nonetheless, her team has reached out to political and they're trying to make an argument for her. and this is one of the quotes that they put out to political, which i don't know, i want to get your perspective on this dr. wilmer. so here's, here's the quote from one of our lawyers loyal let's, let's put it up. i think if we got it, there it is, it says this is so offensive, just so many of us it goes on to say they still don't get that. the message that they are sending to people to the democratic party is we prefer a white person. so it is this about racism. um, i've got one more video. i'm gonna show you on this couple of harris, but i want to stop right now and ask you, what's your reaction to that? to that quote, that apparently is co

are they talking about gretchen whitmore right? but, but, but she has a couple of real problems. does the vice president for one in actuality, her poll numbers, i'm miserable. i mean, there is bad in some cases, worse than the president's poll numbers. but apparently, as harris has not been taking that rejection in the polls very well, she certainly is looking at this and saying, oh, i can figure it out. instead, she seems to be sending out 1st listen of this. she's sending out her surrogates to defend her. but you may find the way that they're defending her to be particularly troubling. let's take a listen to what one of her surrogates told the political here it is. i'm going to read it for you. you're ready. this is the quote. this isn't political. she says, this surrogate, this is so offensive to so many of us, they still don't get that. the message that they're sending to people to the democratic party is we prefer a white person. wow. suddenly it's call about racism. and i guess to prove to prove that she feels that she is very black and that she is a woman. and she can prov
