president biden s national security adviser, jake sullivan. let s start right there. this national defense bill would eliminate funding for service members, travel to states where abortion is legal, block coverage for transgender health procedures and eliminate military diversity offices. would president biden veto this legislation as is? well, this legislation is never getting to the president s desk. because what you have seen from an extreme group of republicans is to put forward a set of amendments that try to mix domestic social debates with the needs, the security needs of our nation. those amendments passed the house. at the end of the day, this this defense authorization act, jake, from my perspective is really about a bipartisan exercise in defending america, defending americans national security. and historically, year over year an you have seen the defense authorization act pass with overwhelmingly bipartisan majorities. we should not walk away from
refused to rule out running for president himself in 2024. no labels qualified to be on the ballot in arizona, which as i don t need to remind you, president biden won by less that half a percentage point in 2020. do you think manchin and no labels could potentially cost joe biden his re-election? let me start with why i don t think no label sas political party. i mean, this is a few individuals putting dark money behind an organization, and that s not what our democracy should be about. it should not be about a few rich people. i m obviously concerned about what s going on in arizona and across the country. i think the president has a very strong record to run on. and we ve got about 18 months before the next election and my hope is that this all gets sorted out. have you talked to senator man c.hchin about this? yeah, i talked to senator

taking sides. congress splits sharply over defense priorities. republicans are choosing maga extremism over our military. a woke military is a weak military. as president biden signals a drawn-out war in ukraine. we will not waiver. but can the president guarantee the u.s. is in it for the long haul? national security adviser jake sullivan is next. and on the rise? six months until the iowa caucuses and new numbers revealing voters views of the gop field. is donald trump leaving an opening? there s really broad support for the candacy and it s on the debate stage. gop president chris christie is coming up. and melting down, the southwest is roasting under extreme heat with no relief in sight. will all these climate disasters finally change minds on capitol
