in the bjp�*s vision for a developed india." but one of the reasons why there's been so much focus not on the fact that he won — which was widely anticipated — but on how he won, and this reduction in the number of seats is partly because of the prime minister himself. when he started his campaign, he said, "we're going to win more than 400 seats this time around," and they are a long way off that mark. going into this election, they were also the most powerful party, they had the most amount of money to spend on the election — and that's why the reduction of the seats is being talked about so much. it is of course an historic victory — it's only the second time in the history of india that a prime minister has been reelected for a third time. and, notwithstanding that historic victory, what went wrong for modi and his party? so i think, when we have final results fully in, you know, we will be able to properly what went wrong. but if you look at some
on the other side, they are really unreasonable. they will not compromise. they will beat their party leaders to a pulp if it helps get a amendment passed. progressives, do they have more liberal views than others? they do and sometimes it can hurt. tim ryan and a great race because he was a centrist. still the progressives are reasonable and as mark was saying, who are they going to vote for? they will throw the votes away if they go for rfk or one of the other three independents. they are certainly not going to sit home because if they do they are as guilty as anybody that votes for trump. in the end they will be reasonable and come back to biden. so i am not saying treat them badly, just recognize that they are more pragmatic.
traveling to normandy where tomorrow he'll mark the 80th anniversary of d-day with a speech and an even bigger one. next in total the president will spend five days in france. indeed on friday he'll speak at the famed point to hawk cliffs, a site of the d-day landings where allied forces fought back against infautsys while in normandy president biden will meet with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy to discuss the ongoing russia invasion. reuters reports the meetings over the next two days will focus on isolationism and the need to stand up to dictators. joining us now national security and political reporter for politico, paul mccleary. paul, good to see you this morning. so let's talk a little bit about this trip. it's obviously at its core to mark what happened 80 years ago the incredible heroism there on
vision works, see the difference? hey, you singing this was the daesh one you telling me you can get directtv, vogue good stuff and you don't need a satellite dish i used to love doing my business on those things won-sik a pigeon, then vicious kept the rain off our beaks. we just have different priorities satellite free, directv, never thought i'd see the day. >> our lifespans are quite short, extreme directtv without a satellite dish. i'm going to do this thing with my neck just for a bit. >> hey, i said, you know, robert tracy and of course mark who delivers our sandwiches. >> well, so my mark here, they said to get this merger done, i should ask mark. >> i said ask mark,
republicans whacking -- >> why didn't they ask marjorie taylor greene? >> you can't say it on the air what the reaction is actually. but i am sort of actually embarrassed for the "wall street journal." this piece is so tilted, so off the mark, is he 81 years old? yes. is he a bit slower in terms of his reactions to some things? probably. >> it feels like a moment with trump reeling after the verdict and we wait to see how that is going to play out. then it is republicans trying to revive what they think could be an effective story line. >> bill: the journal says they talked to 45 people. 45. and if you see the length of this piece, you know it takes a long time to put this thing together. if the white house thought about a different strategy, would it work for them if they embraced it? could they sell that, charlie? sell it better?
>> now the fuel in the solid rocket boosters have completed. the others will continue its burn for the next three minutes. >> good handle. >> good handle. >> that call good handle indicating the crew now has the ability to initiate and abort manually if needed. looking good so far. now two minutes into star liner's flight and coming out on the side rocket booster jetson at the two minute 40 second mark.
people interact with folks and news gets around. there has been a lot of conversation about and concern about biden's cognitive decline and you see it in the polls. independents and some democrats in polling express concern about whether joe biden is still up to the job mentally. i will simply say this. i'm not a psychological expert and i can't gauge or diagnose the depth of whatever cognitive decline president biden has but i will tell you this, he is in steep political decline. that may be irreversible not just connected to his mental state but the agenda he is pushing very far left and very unpopular with voters. >> dana: mark, let me read more from the "wall street journal." it was incredible to me as a former communication person that -- after the offices of several democrats shared with the white house a recording of an interview or details what was asked, some of those lawmakers spoke to the journal a second time and once again emphasized biden's strengths. they just said that i should
problem that they need to walk back. >> dana: give us a quick synopsis. what did he say? >> what he said basically was netanyahu was keeping the war going on for political purposes. >> dana: prolonging the war, that's right. >> that was a horrible thing to say about your ally to accuse them of basically wasting lives for political purposes and i think he has to walk that comment back from that time interview. >> dana: he is about to see the world leaders at the g7. maybe we'll hear more from there. thank you for your time today, steven and mark. >> thank you. >> bill: more to come. here is a beautiful look right now at the boeing star liner on florida's east coast, all right? they are a year behind schedule. $1.5 billion over budget. >> dana: is that all? >> bill: boeing and nasa have a lot on the line and see whether or not we can get going in an hour and 14 minutes. stand by. we're watching it from space
give you a call back said meeks a new york democrat referring to the white house. the white house spokesman said we thought it was important that all perspective to be represented. they were false and politically motivated claims. i know what the press office is trying to do and doing the best they can with the facts they have. but they don't have necessarily the communications problem, they have a fact problem, mark. >> well, i was chuckling when i read that how they called back let us set the record straight. it was an odd story in the "wall street journal." cobbled together what voters know. over 60% of the voters are concerned that biden is too old to be running again for another term. and i don't think that issue is going to be decided by these whisper stories. i think there is going to be a debate. they have deliberately thrown down the gauntlet for an early debate. i think that will be the point at which americans judge is he ready for another term or not? clearly an issue.
