numbers for president biden slide right before this. but as kabul fell and we got deeper into this and lost the 13 service members at the kabul airport under attack by terrorists his numbers began to plummet and brought us to what we've seen today. the political collateral damage for the left and this ad, what are you trying to communicate? >> president biden ran on two things. he ran on compassion and he ran on competence. i have to tell you, harris, this was the most cold hearted thing i have ever witnessed in my life from an american official, from a president. and it certainly was the most incompetent withdrawal or military operation. this was worse than saigon. at least in saigon there was a plan to get the people who stood and fought with us out and got them out to guam and
issues senator graham talked about. again, they have very deep differences, philosophically, idealogically. even senator graham admitted, president biden ran on this. he ran on his ability to bring people together and there have been things that have drawn people apart, but there have been a list of bipartisan accomplishments that both president biden and members of congress, obviously bipartisan, has to be both sides of the aisle, have come together on over the past 18 months or so. >> dana, alongside this there's been this growing conversation/debate about whether president biden should be running again. "the new york times" calling -- like a good athlete, he should leave on top. i want to read you part of what she wrote in her column. his inner circle irritated about stories over his concerns on age and popularity will say this winning streak gives biden the impetus to run again. the opposite is true.
democrats who think as good a job in their view biden has done, they want to turn the page and when biden ran in 2020, he said he was going to be a bridge and that it was a bridge to new people like pete buttigieg and gavin newsom and gretchen whitmer, young and dynamic and well spoken and their views happen to comport where the voters are. so, i'm not surprised by seeing a number like that. >> sandra: interesting. the poll found that compared to data collected in june, what a difference a month makes. fewer democrats now want the president to seek another term in 2024. 54% of democrats said in june they wanted to make another run. that figure dropped to 31% in the latest poll. >> we have richard talking about a new president, and not joe biden, remarkable, but looking at the polling, where is kamala harris. >> sandra: she's at 6%.
>> sean: i'm looking at every big city, and most cities that have been run by liberal democrats, most states, deep blue, run by liberal democrats for decades, and you see from 2020 to 2021, and now continuing into 2022. record murder, crime, larceny, you name it, and it seems like the chaos is being won over. you know, defunding, dismantling, no bail, it's not worked out well for the cities. where's the person on the democratic side that says you know what, maybe it sounded good on paper, but it's not working out in reality and innocent people are getting hurt and we need to protect the people in our state and our city and our town? >> yeah, they are not having honest conversation, are they? especially when president biden ran on being a unifier. if they've done the exact opposite. it's gotten worse in democrat-run cities and that's why they're moving to our
try to protect our way of life. >> sean: i'm looking at every big city, and most cities that have been run by liberal democrats, most states, deep blue, run by liberal democrats for decades, and you see from 2020 to 2021, and now continuing into 2022. record murder, crime, larceny, you name it, and it seems like the chaos is being won over. you know, defunding, dismantling, no bail, it's not worked out well for the cities. where's the person on the democratic side that says you know what, maybe it sounded good on paper, but it's not working out in reality and innocent people are getting hurt and we need to protect the people in our state and our city and our town? >> yeah, they are not having honest conversation, are they? especially when president biden ran on being a unifier. if they've done the exact opposite. it's gotten worse in democrat-run cities and that's why they're moving to our
most hateful rhetoric on the right. so for democrats, i think our most successful strategy going into the mid-terms and beyond will be building up our bench in the states and cities and looking beyond just the same old faces we see over and over again in washington >> dana: i don't know if they're moderate or progressive. a difficult coalition to try to pull together. anybody you are talking about able to do that? president biden ran as a moderate but got pulled far left and in this situation. >> the folks i was talking about all under the age of 40 and i think sometimes there is a stereotype of under 40 politicians. i'm talking about are very pragmatic. solutions oriented and looking to get past the partisan gridlock that has paralyzed
to donald trump. howard: leslie, an abc reporter asked the president about the poll story, and i want to take a look at what he said. >> mr. president, what's your message to democrats who don't want you to run again? >> they want me to run. >> two-thirds said -- >> read the polls. read the polls, jack. polls show that 92% of democrats, if i ran, would vote for me. howard: the reporter's name isn't jack, by way. [laughter] leslie, it's true that the polls, if biden ran, 92% of democrats would vote for him, presumably against trump or someone else. but he's saying they want me to run. that's' exactly the opposite of what that poll shows, the reporter was right. >> well, was the reporter right, is the poll right, is the poll one poll? we say that because the week before what we saw for both democrats and are republicans is at the end of the day, as we saw
when biden ran for office in 2020 he vowed specifically and some would say correctly that we make a pariah of the saudi crown prince for his murder in the vicious murder of the "washington post" writer khashoggi. and a report concluded that the crown prince himself personally approved khashoggi's murder. and before he makes it to saudi arabia, officials from the administration are depending off questions about whether the trip is really about getting hem from -- help from saudi arabia on oil prices, telling "the new york times" that quote while no explicit deal is expected to be announced on raising saudi oil production, out of concern it might be coming across as unseemly, a reward for the crown prince's return to the diplomatic fold, that may come in a month or two. as for iran, a large part for the reason biden is in jerusalem today is to try to get buy-in
the reason he's polling where he is is he puts so much effort in assigning blame for the crisis than trying to solve the crisis. we have a solve. if you boost production here, it is supply and demand, the price goes down, but he doesn't want to do that because again, joe biden is the presidential equivalent if you have had an elderly relative with dietary restrictions, they aren't allowed to eat. biden ran on i will run on the moderation. but then pelosi said he can't have the moderation. that's where we are. people see through it. >> on this topic real quick. we're talking about energy right now. say gas prices do go down. where's the food at? take the war of ukraine back to president biden. i still hold him responsible for the position we're in with that. they don't get a clean slate on any of this, even you call it putin's price hike, you had the opportunity to preventing this from happening to begin, i believe. i believe president trump would have prevented it from
a massive groups of migrants continue inundating the state of texas. this was a single massive group of 500 migrants here in eagle pass. a mostly cubans and venezuelans, they will get to the u.s. and step foot on u.s. soil and likely be released into the country. take a listen to what governor abbott had to say about the need for the executive order. >> president biden ran on the policy of having open borders. texas is disrupting what they wanted to achieve. they want open border policies and the people coming across the border. if they don't want to follow or enforce the immigration laws of the united states of america. texas is stepping up trying to compel the biden administration to follow the laws. we will continue to press the cause. >> the state of texas will not
