1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's just dropped the equivalent of a NATO bomb

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: on her old buddy, Joe Biden. The former House Speaker,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: is well connected, she is respected within the Democratic Party.

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: She's always on cable television, and she had this to

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: say when asked about Biden's critics attacking his mental capacity

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: during the NATO summit.

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: I want him to do whatever he decides to do.

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Let's just hold off whatever you're thinking. Either tell somebody privately,

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 2: but you don't have to put that out on the

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: table until we see how we go this week.

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: So what is the problem with that? Well, remember Biden

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: has already said this, I am running and gonna win again.

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: So now you have the most influential, one of the

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: most influential people in the Democratic Party saying he needs

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: to make a decision about whether to run, and you

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: have the candidate saying I've made the decision. I am running.

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: It's very messy, it's huge, actually, and the White House

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: is going to be and a tailspin this and it

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: doesn't stop there. Overnight, Michael Bennett became the first Democratic

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Senator to publicly say that Joe Biden can't win.

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: In fact, Donald Trump is on track I think to

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: win the selection and maybe win it by a landslide.

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: In a political crisis, there are headlines like gunfire. Then

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: there are bombs, which cause massive, often irreversible damage to

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: a candidate. They can change the direction of a war,

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: a turning point if you will, And make no mistake

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: when this happens in politics, it's always actually worse when

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: it's friendly fire. Remember just a couple of days to

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: go at NATO and one solo press conference from the

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: Commander in Chief on Thursday ending this seventy fifth anniversary

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: NATO summit. The only question now is whether it could

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: also become the platform for the eighty two year old

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: president to also end his political career. For more from
