nick: let me read you a statement by the deputy chairman of the sudanese sovereign counsel to my colleaguecent trip to sudan. the u.s. administration, they have never come here. we have an envoy who has never put a leg in sudan. if you're serious to solve a problem somewhere, why don't you come and meet the president in his country? why don't you come meet us in our country? but this is not happening. >> i have traveled to sudan earlier, traveled to adre, tried to travel to port sudan but was blocked in the early parts of my tenure. recently, we put a trip together where our diplomatic security team said it would require me to just be at the airport. we communicated that, they rejected the offer, and we respected them rejecting the offer. but every week, i am meeting with sudanese people from all 18 states, hundreds and hundreds of sudanese i meet with virtually each week, as well as thousands from the refugee and diaspora community. we will continue to meet every day, every week with the sudanese people, and hopefully that will include a trip to port sudan soon. nick: thank you very much.

let us get a quick read on how they stand with nick.nt biden was speaking ahead of this program starting. what did he say, particularly in the context of the things we care about. technology, ai and national security? nick: it was a valedictory address. a big thing he said was listen, do not cling to power. sometimes you have to do what is right for your country and remember you serve the people and not yourself. a shot across the bow. it was interesting that he did feature ai prominently in his speech, mostly a look back at one of the few places where he looks forward was saying that ai has a lot a promise but there are inherent dangers to it. and essentially seeking a cautious approach. the big thing is the message that he might want -- might not want to send but is inescapable is the fact that he is off the stage literally and metaphorically in a few months. there is not a lot he can say to look forward given the uncertainty around who will succeed him as president. caroline: let us talk about what kamala harris will be saying at fun
