Jeff Caplan's Afternoon News - July 11th, 2024

KSL News radio's Eric Cabrera joins us live so Eric what happens now Jeff the Supreme the Supreme Court says it's now in the hands of lower courts I also caught plaintiffs on the case just outside the courtroom two of them being registered Republican Vicky Reid and her husband Malcolm a Democrat and ask for their reaction to the decision both of us um care about moderate policies and we feel like the way the districts are drawn right now does not promote moderate candid is and it doesn't promotee participation in the electoral process so many people feel like they don't really have a voice the Reeds said they're optimistic that the district courts will look at the facts and restore the right for voters to select their representatives rather than Representatives selecting them live Eric Cabrera Kos owners radio reaction to the Supreme Court ruling from the leaders of the state legislature Senate President Stuart Adams and house Speaker Mike Schultz call this one of the worst outcomes that they've seen from the Utah Supreme Court they say the court has created chaos it is possible the state will be eventually forced to redraw its political maps KSL at night co-host and political consultant Taylor Morgan is joining us live now Taylor what do you think is going to happen once this goes back to lower courts oh Jeff it is hard to say what is going to happen but what is so significant about the ruling that came out this morning from the Utah Supreme Court is that the court actually carved out a possible legal pathway for the total overturning of not only Utah's Congressional Maps but also of Utah's legislative and state Schoolboard Maps this is huge Jeff I really cannot overstate how big of a deal this ruling was today uh as you said legislative leaders have reacted I think with shock and surprise by this ruling what will happen is this is going to take a year or more to play out in the lower courts so it's hard to predict what will happen the Supreme Court did put the burden on the plaintiffs in this case the League of Women Voters and Mormon women for ethical government the burden was placed squarely on their shoulders to establish that the way the legislature Drew Maps was unconstitutional that is a high bar to meet Jeff however uh if they can do it then the maps could be totally tossed out and redrawn in the future and again this has sent shock waves throughout Utah's political landscape shock waves that'll Ripple for the next year as they figure this out thanks a lot Taylor Morgan meantime President Biden is holding a high stakes news

subculture starting about 10 years ago in otherwise quiet neighborhoods young people would crank their speakers to 11 battling to see who's the loudest they're called siren clubs the artist you're hearing was their favorite originally 10 years later the New Zealand siren they now blasting at earsplitting volume deep into the night is Seline Dion [Music] no joke you drive through these suburbs and you're assaulted by competing music gangs with Seline on blast right now turn your speakers up go ahead this is what it's like to live [Music] there the other club answers a third [Music] competitor it's absolutely hideous these speaker systems are in parked cars and even on bicycles and while people who appreciate silence almost everybody demand legislation in New Zealand the siren clubs say their music is an expression of their identity as Pacific Islanders they say this is how kids stay out of trouble and the government does nothing so in the Quest for peace and quiet the only answer is to pack up and move and hope that Seline doesn't follow you wherever you go next Jeff kaplan's minute of news only on KSL News radio you imagine traffic and weather together brought to you

Shelley Deval was 75 years old you're listening to ABC News and the KSL in-depth the Utah Supreme Court ruled this morning morning the state legislature steamrolled over an independent redistricting

consulting firm are you celebrating this decision uh certainly is a good day to be a Utah resident we're definitely hopeful and excited to see the process play out so what is this mean to the everyday uton who honestly is probably much more worried about the temperature today there's been a Supreme Court ruling it's complicated what does it mean at street level yeah that's a a great question I think you know today we saw the judicial branch remind the state legislature and the governor where their power is dered from and that is from the people of the state of Utah um you know the governor and the legislature I think they saw the will of the people with these Val initiatives and they they chose to ignore it and they ignored it to the point that you know five Republican appointed just is Drew a hard line in the stand and so you know we're going to we're going to see this process play out the case is headed back to the lower courts with this this new standard that the Supreme Court has set um but you know the legal experts that we've been talking to believe that the court is very likely to rule in the plaintiff's favor meaning that we will likely get new maaps for the 2026 election cycle from you know everything from Congress to the state legislature and even the State Board of Education so for the average uton it means they might have a different Congress person a few years from now absolutely yes you know if if the you know this this goes in the direction that we think it will it means that Utah and votes will matter more in you know the upcoming election Cycles than

this is ABC News and time now for the KSL in depth a decision by the Utah supreme court this morning could force the state to tear up its political map meaning you could conceivably end up with a different congressional district represented by a different Congressman or woman joining me live is Utah State Senate President steuart Adams thanks for joining us You released a statement today saying This High Court ruling will create chaos what do you mean by that well they went way behind Way Beyond the redistricting issue they didn't even deal with that they actually said that if a referendum gets passed it cannot be changed by the legislature I mean we we pass laws all the time that need to be changed as as time goes on as uh you know as things change they basically created the day in this ruling not ruling necessarily on the redistrict ruling on on referendums uh generally they created super laws that can't be changed and basically have and I think potentially destroyed our Republic our founding fathers I put in a place where put in a process where you elect duly elected people they go create the laws and then they go back and either they're reelected or not this has put in a new a system where you simply pay for signatures if you got enough money pay for TV ads pay for social media ads if you have enough money and pass a law and it is unchangeable it's a super law they put in a new super law status that I think actually potentially destroys the Republic which has governed us for so many years it's the worst law I've ever wor worst ruling the Supreme Court I've ever seen happen in my life this goes to the question of do lawmakers think they know better than the public when it votes we've heard this argument time and again system isn't that way the system is not who knows better the system is what did our founding fathers put in place and they did not put in place that they pass laws through a referendum process they put in place a republic it is basic Civics and you've destroyed the Republic today and if that's the process that we want to do in America move to a democracy where the people vote on every law that's passed then that's what we ought to do but that's not what our founding fathers put in place that's not what our our United States con Constitution put in place and surely I think our state constitution reflects the Republic and they have basically tried to destroy that Republic today by putting in super laws that can't be changed I why would you ever to go to the legislature just go past the super law question for you then uh regarding the specifics of redistricting and the political map are you upset about this enough do you think this is unconstitutional and perhaps at some point this could go to the US Supreme Court that is such a small issue compared to what the Supreme Court did today we'll work through those issues our constitution I think is very clear that the legislature creates those Maps I think even in the redistricting initiative they reflected the map had to come back to the legislature that is not I'm not upset about that hardly at all because we'll get through those issues what I'm very frustrated about right that right now is that I believe our Supreme Court struck at our very Republic and they put together a new process that to to pass laws and that new process can't be changed by duly elected officials elected by people's Representatives they can only be changed by going back through a referendum process I believe that will create chaos thanks so much for joining us and explaining your position well while I'm here let me ask again I know this goes back to the lower court do you see a place where eventually this could end up in front of the US Supreme Court you know I we haven't I haven't looked at it that long but I can tell you I've looked at it enough that I I I just I'm I'm dumbfounded that our Supreme Court would take that type of blow at the very Foundation of our Republic strong position I can't imagine why they do that and we appreciate you sharing it State Senate President Stuart Adams thanks for joining us it's 351 we have to get to traffic and

I15 where we have emergency traffic in Murray it's due to a crash at 4500 South that's been blocking two left lanes of traffic backing the the delays that are backed up reach about 2100 South Ricky me Sy the KSL traffic center Sunny hot and record-breaking temperatures I'm Kevin eub it's 102 at the KSL common Spirit Health Studios now our top National stories from ABC News I'm Dave Packer a high stakes evening for President Biden the world will be watching and listening to his press conference following the NATO Summit not so much for what he says but for how he says it as questions swirl about his age and performance and calls increase among democrats for Mr Biden to let a younger candidate take on Donald Trump in November ABC News confirming a New York Times report that the Biden campaign is testing head-to-head matchups of Vice President Harris against former president Trump a source familiar with the new strategy saying that shift only comes after Donald Trump began publicly focusing his attacks on comma Harris the latest ABC News Washington Post ipo's poll showing vice president Harris is a slightly stronger but significantly insignificant matchup against Mr Trump ABC's Andy field at the NATO Summit President Biden meeting with Ukraine's president zalinski and announcing a new $225 million security assistance package for Ukraine enough to buy air defense systems we're working with our NATO allies to ensure Ukraine is flying f-16s this summer and uh we show the world that we stand with Ukraine now and in the future Mr Biden pledged to support Ukraine until the end a handful of Republicans joined house Democrats in De feeding an effort to force attorney general Merrick Garland to release audio of President Biden's interview in his classified documents investigation lights still out to more than a million customers in Houston in the wake of Hurricane Barrel sussie cisos wondering why and office Towers in downtown Houston have power restored while small businesses are still waiting a lot of businesses are suffering but when you see the lights downtown with empty complexes and then you see a mom and pop shop that's closed that affects a lot of people beating back inflation new government numbers show us prices year-over-year up 3% down from 3.3% last month you're listening to ABC News and now the in-depth on KSL the the Utah supreme court this morning ruled against the state legislature uh the legislature which split Salt Lake County into four different congressional districts and they redrew the political map they ignored an impartial map demanded by voters joining me live Utah state senator Scott sandal who was the co-chair of the legislative redistricting committee best I understand the Utah Supreme Court says you shouldn't have drawn the map you drew do I have that right very interesting because I'm I'm really disappointed that the Supreme Court didn't actually rule on redistricting and uh that seems to be the chatter out there instead what the Supreme Court did was send that case back to the district court and say that initiatives somehow now are uh super laws that there's no way to changeed them uh so I don't think that we did anything for or against what was done in districting at this point okay so if I could understand and help voters along who are honestly most concerned about how hot it is this afternoon uh the Utah Supreme Court ruled according to what you're saying that you simply can't create that you can create super laws by a vote of Utah's voters is that right yeah they basically said that you can't substantially change what happens with the bid initiative uh case in point here around the redistricting case when that law when that the initiative was originally passed it had a constitutional problem with it that it took the constitutionally mandated ability of the legislature to do the maps and turn it over to an independent redistricting commission well F boundaries immediately came to the legislature and negotiated what we ended up with because they didn't want to deal with a lawsuit they knew that the initiative had a constitutional problem involved in it so the legislature then worked with better boundaries changed it and we came up with the law so without that I think we would have been on a lawsuit over whether constitutionally the legislature could move their uh responsibility away from uh the legislature to an independent commission so I have only a moment but I want to ask what's the next step for leaders of the legislature is there anything you could do about your position well the next step is going to be to try to figure out if we really do want to move away from a republic form of government to an initiative form of government uh I think that's bad I think it's a bad policy I think it's a horrible way to make policy do you trust the voters absolutely that's why I stand for election every four years if they don't like what I'm doing they're more than willing to hire somebody else appreciate your answer Utah State Senator Scott sandal thanks for joining us on KSL News radio we'll continue to cover the story right now though emergency

an accident in South Salt Lake Northbound I15 approaching 33rd South moved over to the right shoulder but still causing delay and a crash in Davis County 200 North cville at 2,000 West that's been affecting the right lanes of travel Ricky me in the KSL traffic center record heat in Salt Lake City and there's more where that came from I'm Kevin EU we're at 104 at the KSL common Spirit Health Studios now our top National stories ABC News I'm Dave packer in Washington alongside Ukraine's president zalinski and NATO leaders President Biden announcing that more than 20 countries plus the European Union pledging long-term support for Ukraine's defense and Recovery this compact brings all those countries together in a unified coordinated and comprehensive architecture to support Ukraine not just for now but for years in the future president F this evening to hold this first solo news conference this year it may be a key moment for the president trying to prove his viability and vitality to voters former president Trump asking a New York judge to dismiss his criminal hush money case he says the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity makes much of the evidence and testimony off limits a heightened Wildfire risk in the west as a heatwave drives the landscape four out of every five stocks on the S&P 500 climbed today after a new government report showing inflation easing the Dow was up 32 points this is ABC News and now the KSL in depth were waiting for President Biden to take the stage in Washington at his post Summit news conference uh everybody's saying well this could spell the end for if he messes up the host of inside sources Boyd mat joined Maria chalos on Utah's new news to talk about what he sees about this news conference well I think it's a it's an interesting press conference to have obviously at the back end of the 75th anniversary of NATO so he's going to want to channel things to what happened there his sitdown conversation with President zalinski of Ukraine uh and of course all of the questions are going to be about anything but NATO and what took place with the conversations with all of those leader so the president is going to have to be prepared tonight to be able to respond to all the questions about age about the debate performance uh what that means moving forward but I I think the important thing for us to keep in mind is this isn't a one-off like even if he knocks it out of the park uh this isn't over uh he's going to have to do this for 117 days if he wants to stay in the race he has to do this all the way to the first Tuesday of November because he's going to have to prove over and over and over again uh that he doesn't just have good days and bad days uh he has to have enough good days to justify being the president of the United States any chance he would get on there today and say okay that's it I'm GNA let comma run no I don't think he'll do that today for sure I I think there's actually something to watch for I I think what the Biden campaign is trying to do is to make it to Monday right now it's survive till Monday because remember on Monday the Republican National Convention will begin and all the attention and the focus will be on former president Trump and the Republicans which allows President Biden to get back on his message which is the former president's not fit he's under indictment and all of the laundry list of things and so there is an opportunity for him to to change the dynamic of the conversation right now this is the only conversation happening anywhere starting on Monday the Republicans will nominate a vice presidential candidate that'll take up a lot of attention you'll have probably some interesting speeches on the stage there at convention there always is and that will be news there'll be things about some of the hot button culture War issues uh and so for the Biden campaign it's all about making it to Monday and then even if the president does decide that he's going to step aside uh he'll do it a little bit later I think they want to let a few things play out that's the host of inside sources Boyd mat within the past hour the president misspoke in front of microphones and called Ukraine's president who was in the room President Putin KSL News time 449 traffic and weather together brought to you by Sinclair's Dino

we're waiting for the president's news conference it should begin momentarily we're going to interrupt and bring it to you live here on KSL News radio our top Story the question of what happens next after this morning's Utah Supreme Court ruling the state's highest court deciding that the legislature had no business ignoring the new political map drawn up by an impartial panel KSL News radio's Eric Cabrera joins us live so Eric what happens now Jeff the Supreme Court says it's now in the hands of lower courts I also caught plaintiffs on the case just outside the courtroom two of them being registered Republican Vicky Reid and her husband Malcolm a registered Democrat and ask for their reaction to the decision both of us um care about moderate policies and we feel like the way the districts are drawn right now does not promote moderate candidates and it doesn't promote participation in the electoral process so many people feel like they don't really have a voice the Reeds said they're optimistic that the district courts will look at the facts and restore the rights for voters to select their representatives rather than Representatives selecting live Eric cabera KSL News radio KSL at night co-host and political consultant Taylor Morgan told me earlier that this case could take years to play out in the lower courts the Supreme Court did put the burden on the plaintiffs in this case the League of Women Voters and Mormon women for ethical government the burden was placed squarely on their shoulders to establish that the way the legislature Drew Maps was unconstitutional that is a high bar to meet Jeff however uh if they can do it then the maps could be totally tossed out and redrawn in the future Taylor says this doesn't only affect the congressional districts but legislative and State School Board Maps we have reaction to the Supreme Court ruling from the leaders of the state legislature Senate President Stuart Adams told us earlier this afternoon he is dumbfounded by this ruling well they went way behind Way Beyond the redistricting issue they didn't even deal with that they actually said that if a referendum gets passed it cannot be changed by the legislature I mean we we pass laws all the time that need to be changed as as time goes on as uh you know as things change they basically created the day in this ruling not ruling necessarily on the redistrict ruling on on referendums uh generally they created super laws that can't be changed and basically have and I think potentially destroyed our Republic KSL's legal analyst Greg scoris happens to be in the studio right now and you were just saying that Senate President steuart Adams assessment of this ruling is wrong I also said I really like steuart Adams but I would say this that he's way overstating the significance of this they didn't say that the legislature can't change or make tweaks to to uh citizen initiatives they didn't say that it they override uh uh legislative statutes and leg legislative rules in fact they gave an Avenue for the legislature to look at citizen initiatives and tailor them so that they fit within the confines of the Constitution and and to make sure that they're that they're that they make sense makes sense we appreciate you and Senate President Stuart Adams for joining us stay around we're going to talk about President Biden

KSL News time 527 I think President Biden is now taking the please be seated well good evening we just concluded this year's NATO Summit and the consensus among the members was was a great success it's especially momentous because it represents the 75th year the most important military defense Alliance in the world history of the world we should never forget the NATO grew out of the wreckage of World War II most destructive war in history the idea was to create an alliance of free and democratic nations that would commit themselves to a compact of collective defense standing together they knew we'd all be safer attack on one would be treated as an attack on all and it's worked because a wouldbe aggressor knows they attack one of us they'll be attacked by all of us sending that message is the best way to deter aggression and prevent wars in the first place for those who thought NATO's time had passed they got a roote Awakening when Putin invaded Ukraine some of the oldest and deepest fears in Europe roared back to life because once again a murderous madman was on the March but this time no one coward and appeasement especially the United States we collected intelligence that Russia was planning to invade Ukraine months before The Invasion I I directed the intelligence Community to be de a significant amount of intelligence be Declassified so I could start building an International Coalition to oppose the invasion then in February some of you remember I warned the world that the invasion was imminent I rallied the Coalition of 50 nations from Europe to Asia to help Ukraine defend itself my foreign policy many foreign policy experts thought as Putin amassed Russian forces just 100 miles north of Kei the capital of Ukraine but he thought he Putin thought it was the mother home of Russia the capital would fall in less than a week but the Ukrainian people backed by a coalition to help build stopped them today Kei still stands and NATO stands stronger than it has ever been during the week of this Summit several head of States made it a point in their statements to thank the United States and to thank me personally for all that NATO has achieved NATO is not only stronger NATO is bigger because we led the charge to bring in Finland and Sweden into the alliance and it makes a gigantic difference excuse me Meanwhile my predecessor has made it clear he has no commitment to Nato he's made it clear that he would feel no obligation to honor Article 5 he's already told Putin and I quote do whatever the hell you want in fact the day after Putin invaded Ukraine here's what he said it was genius it was wonderful some of you forgot that but that's exactly what he said but I made it clear a strong NATO is essential to American Security and I believe the obligation of Article 5 is sacred and I would remind all Americans Article 5 is invoked only once in NATO's long history and that was to defend America after 9/11 I made it clear that I will not bow down to Putin I will not walk away from Ukraine I will keep NATO strong that's exactly what we did and exactly what we'll continue to do now the future of American policy is up to the American people this is much more than the political question it's more than that it's a national security issue don't reduce this to the usual Testament that people talk about issues of being a political campaign it's far too important it's about the world we live in for decades to come every American must ask herself or himself is the world safer with NATO are you safer is your family safer I believe the American people no the answer to all those questions is yes and I believe the American people understand that America is stronger stronger because of our alliances I believe the American consensus from Truman to Reagan to me still holds today America cannot Retreat from the world we must lead the world we are indispensable Nation as mine Albright wrote now let me turn to three other key issues just this morning we had a great economic report showing inflation is down overall all prices fell last month core inflation is the lowest it's been in three years prices are falling for cars appliances and air air fars grocery prices have fallen since the start of the year we're going to keep working to take down corporate greed to bring those prices down further meanwhile Trump's calling for a 10% tariff in everything Americans buy including food from overseas vegetables and other necessities an economist tell us that that would cost the average American working family another $2,500 a year it's a tax of $2,500 a year second a reference to secure of the Border Southern border is working after Trump killed the bipartisan effort to secure the Border Republicans and Democrats had worked on because he thought it would benefit me and make him a loser Republicans walked away so I took executive action last month as a consequence working with Mexico border encounters have gone down over 50% the current level is lower today than when Trump left office third for months the United States has been working to secure a ceasefire in Gaza to bring the hostages home to create a path for peace and stability in the Middle East six weeks ago I laid out a detailed plan in writing was endorsed by the UN Security Council the G7 that framework is now agreed on by both Israel and Hamas so I sent my team to the region to hammer out the details these are difficult complex issues there's still gaps to close we're making progress the trend is positive and I'm determined to get this still done and bring an end to this war which should end now let me conclude where I began we're the United States of America we are the indispensable Nation our leadership matters our Partnerships matter this moment matters we must rise to meet it with that I'll take your questions I've been given a list of people to call on here Reuters Jeff Mason you're listening to President Biden live on KSL News radio Mr President your political Future Has hung over the NATO Summit a little bit this week speaker Pelosi made a point of suggesting that your decision on whether to stay in the race was still open George Clooney and a handful handful of lawmakers have called on you to step aside Reuters is reporting tonight that UAW leadership is concerned about your ability to win do a just endorse me but go ahead thank you um my question for you is how are you incorporating these developments into your decision to stay and separately what concerns do you have about vice president Harris's ability to beat Donald Trump if she were at the top of the ticket look I wouldn't have picked vice president Trump to be vice president but I think she was not qualified to be president so let's start there number one the fact is that the consideration is that I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president I beat him once and I will beat him again secondly the idea I served in the Senate a long time the idea that senators and congressmen running for office worry about the ticket is Not Unusual and I might add there at least five presidents running or incumbent presidents who had lower numbers than I have now later in the campaign so there's a long way to go in this campaign and so I uh I'm just going to keep moving keep moving and because look I got more work to do we got more work to finish there's so much we made so much progress think about it think about where we are economically relative to the rest of the world name me a world leader who wouldn't want to trade places with our economy we've created over 800,000 manufacturing jobs 1.5 million I mean so things are moving we got more to go workingclass people still have need help corporate greed is still at large their prices the corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic they're coming down and so I'm optimistic about where things are going Danny Camp AFP um thanks um thank you Mr President um I wanted to ask you um about your uh you mixed up uh presidents uh zilinsky and Putin earlier today um um and you now have sort of your key allies including the British prime minister the president of France and the German Chancellor having to step in and make excuses for you on that um officials here are saying off the Record that you're declin has become noticeable hasn't this now frankly become damaging for America's standing in the world thank you did you see any damage or standing my leading this conference have you seen a more successful conference what do you think and the mo the Putin pce I was talking about Putin and I said and now at the very end I said here I mean Putin I said no I'm sorry sininsky and then I add five other names look guys the idea anybody suggest that that we haven't had an incredibly successful conference how many times did you hear in that conference I don't know sounds too self-serving but other leaders heads of state in thanking me saying the reason we're together is because of Biden because Biden did the following look folks this is uh well anyway I uh I thought it was the most successful conference I've attended a long time and find me a world leader who didn't think it was next one uh sorry Nancy ctis CBS thank you Mr President you mentioned other instances in history where presidents have faced a challenge but what makes this moment in history so unique is that it is not your enemies who are calling on you to reconsider your decision to stay in the race it's your friends supporters people who think you've done a great job over the past four years have you spent time thinking about what it would mean for your legacy which you've worked decades to build if you stay in the race despite the concerns that voters say they have and you lose to someone who you yourself have argued is unfit to return to the Oval Office well look I'm not in this for my legacy I'm in this to compl complete the job I started as you recall understandably many of you and many economists thought my initial in initiatives that I put forward can't do that it's going to cause inflation things are going to Skyrocket the debts going to go up what are you hearing now from mainstream economists 16 economic Nobel laurates said I've done a hell of a job that under my plan so far and what's going to happen in the future if I if I re-elected that things are going to get much better our econom is growing I was determined when I got elected to stop the trickle down economic theory that if the wealthy did very well everybody else would do well my dad was a well read decent guy I don't remember much trickling down on his kitchen table middle class people and workingclass people need help and so what happened is I decided to implement was able to implement as president what I believed when I was a Senator and that is that the way to build this economy is from the middle out and the bottom up that way we grow the economy and the wealthy still do very well they do fine and guess what fing econom mainstream economists have said we haven't done well what have we not done that isn't working right now and so we got more to do though we got to finish the job and by the way I come from the corporate state of the world Delaware has more corporations in in you know registered in Delaware than every other state in in the nation combined I'm not anti corporate but corporate corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic doubled it's time things get back in order a little bit it's time for example if I'm reelected we're going to make sure that rents are kept at 5% increase of coorporate rents for apartments and the like homes are limited to 5% we're going to make a lot of changes that I've been talking about because we're going to continue to grow this economy and by the way I know remember how I got so roundly criticized for being so Pro Union not labor union union well guess what I've been the most pro-union labor president in history not a joke and guess what we had the treasury Department do a study when unions do better everybody does better everybody does better and we talk about how for example when I went remember when we talked about getting the computer chip industry back in the United States used to be 40% of the industry we invented the chip 40% of the industry was in the United States and former presidents decided that the best way to do it is find the cheapest labor in the world send the product over there and import what the product was and so what what did I do I was told not to go over to Europe I mean to Asia including Europe but Asia I remember going to South Korea convincing them to invest $20 billion in the United States to build computer chip factories and I asked why when they finally decided to do it and the answer was because you have the safest economy in the world and you have the best workers in the world so the whole idea here is we've we've invested there's over $50 billion do in investment and computer ship manufacturing just coming into being none of you thought that would happen none of you thought that would happen but it's happening it's happening it's going to grow economies all through and by the way red States and blue States matter of fact there's as much in red States as blue States I've made no distinction so my generic point is that the idea that we can't continue to build and grow the economy make it fair like I said from my standpoint when the middle class does well that's when the whole economy grows the poor have a shot the wealthy do well but they wealthy guys to start paying their taxes as a follow sir you mentioned that your vice president kamla Harris would be ready to serve on day one can you elaborate on that what is it about her attributes and her accomplishments over the last four years that make her ready to serve on day one if necessary first of all the way she's handled the issue of freedom of women's bodies to have control over their bodies secondly her ability to handle almost any issue on the board this was a hell of a prosecutor she was a First Rate person and and in the Senate she was really good I wouldn't have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to be president from the very beginning I made no bones about that she is qualified to be president that's why I picked her Felicia Schwarz financial times thank you Mr President presidency is the most straining job in the world and it's 247 how can you say you'll be up for that next year in two years in four years given the limits you've acknowledged that you have today the limits I've acknowledged I have there's been reporting that you've acknowledge that you need to go to bed earlier and you're evening around 8 that's not true look what I said was instead of my every day starting at 7 and going to bed at midnight it'd be smarter for me to Pace myself a little more and I said for example the 8 s six stuff instead of starting a fundraiser at 9:00 start at 8:00 people get to go home by 10 o'clock that's what I'm talking about I'm not talking about and if you looked at my schedule since I've since I made that stupid mistake of in the campaign and in the debate I mean my schedule has been full boore I've done where's and where's Trump man riding around his golf cart filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball I mean look he's done virtually nothing and I have I don't know how many don't hold me to roughly 20 major events someone with thousands of people showing up and so I just think it's better I always have an inclination whether I was playing sports or doing politics just to keep going not stop I just got to just Pace myself a little more Pace myself and the next debate I'm not going to be traveling in the 15 time zones a week before anyway that that that's what it was about that's what it was about and by the way even with that I love my staff but they add things things all the time the very end I'm catching hell for my wife for that anyway um I'm sorry uh Zeke Miller Associated Press thank you Mr President uh two questions for you first uh on the NATO Summit president zinsky in your meeting with him um he pressed you to uh lift your limitations on the Ukrainian use of American weapons saying that his public remarks afterwards saying that Ukraine cannot win the war unless those limitations are lifted are you reconsidering your position on that and then secondly following up on Felicia's question there leaders of your own party have said that uh they're not worried about uh that debate they're worried about the next bad night and the bad night after that how can you reassure the American people uh that you are up to the task and that there won't be more bad nights at a debate stage or somewhere else first thing about sininsky asking for the ability to strike deep into Russia we' have allowed zalinski to use American weapons in the near term in the near abroad into Russia whether or not he has we should be he should be attacked for example should zinski he's not if he had the capacity to strike Moscow strike the keml would that make sense it wouldn't the question is what's the best use of the Weaponry he has the Weaponry we were getting to him I've gotten a more High I got a more long range capacity as well as defensive capacity and so our military is work I'm following the advice of my commander-in chief my my my the chief of staff of the military as well as the Secretary of Defense and our intelligence people and we're making a day-to-day basis on what they should should go how far they should go in that's a logical thing to do second question related to bad nights bad nights sir how can you reassure the American people that you won't have more bad nights whether they be on a debate stage or it's a matter of foreign policy well I tell you what um the best way to assure them is the way I assure myself and that is am I getting the job done am I getting the job done can you name me somebody who's gotten more major pieces of legislation passed in three and a half years I got created 2,000 jobs this last week so if I slow down I can't get the job done that's a sign that I shouldn't be doing it but there's no indication of that yet none um who I got here uh Merck forki radio thank you Mr President how are you I'm well the elections in the US have consequences around the world you have pretty high standing in Europe I just ask president macron about you and he said we are happy to have him as the President of the United States but there's a concern um many people in Poland that across Europe are worried that the former president may win the election and uh there's a lot of concern that uh Donald Trump May weaken NATO stop supporting Ukraine or push Ukraine to give up territories to Russia they're correct and your yourself was warning just two minutes ago about it so my question is um do you think that Europe will be left on its own if Donald Trump wins the election and what's your advice to European leaders to prepare for possible us disengagement well look I think I can I say this without sounding too self-serving I'm not handing any my European allies come up to me and say Joe don't run what I hear them say is you've got to win you can't let this guy come forward he'd be disaster it be disaster I mean I think he said in one of his rallies don't hold me to this recently where NATO I just learned about NATO or something to that effect foreign policy has never been his strong point and he seems to have an affinity to people who are authoritarian that worries as I tell you from Poland that worries Europe that worries Poland and nobody including the people of Poland think that if he wins in Ukraine he's going to stop in Ukraine that's going to be the end of it and so what I can say is I think I'm the best qualified person to do the job to make sure that Ukraine is not fall that Ukraine succeeds that the European Alliance stays strong you may recall no one was talking about Finland joining NATO I remember talking to Putin in when right after we got elected in Geneva and he was talking about what we should do he we couldn't have be in Eastern Europe Etc and I said you're looking for the finalization of Ukraine I said you're going to get the NATO iation of Finland and about four weeks later I got call that's not true probably 5 months later from the president of Finland could he come and see me in my office I had I invited him to the Loval office we sat down and talked he said he wanted to join NATO could I help and I did wasn't automatic and then I got a call from the sweds I beg your pardon and so Finland joined NATO 800 mile border is a significant and they're already allies but they weren't part of NATO and you heard I think you heard maybe I can't recall what he said a public in our in a closed meeting but he wouldn't mind being repeated he said we decided in Finland the people of Finland decided they had to be part of NATO within our interest because of the joint ability to be together to to suade any attack on F and the same thing with with Sweden it took a lot of selling to some folks particularly in turkey and other places to agree to the expansion but it expanded and there were hell of a lot stronger because of it or more secure because of it and by the way I was able to get 50 other nations 5050 Z to support Ukraine 50 we're able to bring about a coalition between in of Europe and Asia Japan and South Korea I just met with we talked about Aus and we talked about the relationship between Australia New Zealand Japan South Korea the United States we're making the world safer and stronger because we have to deal with the new Arrangement that exists in the world the Cold War is Over the postwar era is over what is going to replace it and I respectfully suggest I have a pretty good idea what that should be I convinc a lot of people to follow it we're just going to get stronger um David Sanger you're listening to a live news conference with President Biden on KSL News radio Mr President be nice David uh Mr President uh the NATO declaration that was uh issued yesterday um was very notable because it described China as a decisive enabler of the war in Ukraine and for its provision of critical Goods to the Russians um that's part of a a broader partnership that seems to have cemented in place in the past two or three years I think one that you were a little bit doubtful of when we asked you about it some time ago so I'd be interested to know whether you have a strategy now of trying to interrupt the partnership between China and Russia and whether or not in a second term you would pursue that if you could describe that strategy to us and along the way could you also tell us whether you think just to follow up on Felicia's question that if you were in a room with Vladimir Putin again the way you were three years ago or with President XI that a few years from now you will be able to go negotiate with them handle them oneon-one well the first part of your question is we discussed and I raised in the NATO Summit and others rais the future of China's involvement what they're going to do what they're doing with Russia in terms of accommodating facilitating they're getting access to additional they're not supplying they're not supplying weapons themselves they're supplying mechanisms for them to be able to get weapons and China's position is basically and I've spent more time with Xi Jinping than any world leader has over 90 hours since being vice president all the way through for real and by the way I handed all my notes uh but my point is that she believes that China is a large enough market that they can entice any country including European countries to invest there in return for commitments from Europe to do ABC or D or not to do certain things what's happened is we had a long discussion about what we cannot we have to make clear China has to understand that if they are supplying Russia with information and capacity along with working with North Korea and others to help Russia in Armament that they're not going to benefit economically as a consequence of that by getting the kind of investment they're looking for and so for example we're in a situation where when and we've reestablished direct contact with China after that remember the balloon quot quote unquote going down all of a sudden thing came to an end well we set up a new mechanism there's a direct line between she and me and our military has direct access to one another and they contact one another when we have problems the issue is that we have to make sure that she understands there's a price to pay for undercutting both the Pacific Basin and as well as Europe and it relates to Russia and dealing with Ukraine and so we for example if you want to invest in China as you know you know this area really well I invest in China you have to have a 51% Chinese owner you have to make sure that you do by their rules and you can't you don't have the authority and you have to provide all access to all the data and information you have there was a while there as you recall the last Administration and other administrations where the access to that market was entic of enough to get companies to come in because they had access to over a billion people in the a market not a billion but a lot of people in the market and so they were doing it but that c that got curtailed when we started saying we're going to play by the same rules for example the idea they don't abide by the international rules related to subsidizing products by the government funding so guess what they're not going to be able to export their electric vehicles to the United States without a significant tariff others are doing the same thing around the world but it is a concern it is a concern that you have both China South K North Korea Russia Iran countries that are not necessarily coordinated in the past looking to figure out how they can have impact interrup that impact you're listening to President Biden it's a live news conference on KSL FM Midvale KSL Salt Lake City and I think you'll see that some of our European friends are going to be curtailing their invol investment in Russia I mean in excuse me in uh in China as long as China continues to have this indirect sucess help to Russia in terms of being able to help their economy as well as as well as help them in as a a consequence that their ability to fight in in uh in Ukraine the other thing thing we talked a lot about is that and I raised it and there were I I didn't hear any I can't swear that everyone agreed because not everybody got to talk about it but we have we need a new industrial policy in the West for example we talked about how both the EU as well as NATO has to be able to begin to build their own munition capacity has to be able to generate their own own capacity to provide for weapons and the ability to it came as a surprise to some of us how we had fallen behind in the West in terms of the ability to construct new material new Weaponry new new everything from from vehicles to weapon systems and so one of the things that came out of this was we're going to be meeting again with number colleagues my European colleagues is what do we do to increase the capacity of the West particularly in Europe and Japan to be able to generate kind of ability to produce their own weapon systems not just for themselves but to be able to generate that it's the same that's it's what Russia's trying to figure out they went to China and they didn't get the weapons but then then they went to North Korea but we're going to be in a position where the West is going to become the industrial base for the able the ability to have all the defensive weapons that we need that was a discussion as well not sure you answered on whether you would be ready to go deal with Putin and she two or three years from now I'm ready to deal with them now and three years from now look um the uh like I said I'm dealing with she right now and direct contact with him uh I have no good reason to talk to Putin right now uh there's not much that uh he is prepared to do in terms of accomodating any change in his behavior and uh but there isn't any world leader I'm not prepared to deal with but I I understand the generic point is is put ready to talk I'm not ready to talk to Putin unless Putin's ready to change his his behavior and the idea look Putin's got a problem first of all in this war that he is supposedly have won and by the way I think don't hold me the exact number but I think the Russia had 17.3% of of Ukraine that they conquered now it's 17.4 I mean in terms of percentage of territory they've not been very successful they've called horrible damage loss of life but they've also lost over 350,000 troops military killed or wounded they have over a million people particularly young people with techn technical capability leaving Russia because they see no future there they've got a problem but what they do have control of is they are very good at controlling and running the the public outcry that relates to how they use mechanisms to communicate with people they lie like hell through the constituencies they lie like hell about what's going on and uh and so the idea that we're going to be able to fundamentally change Russia in the near term is not likely but one thing for certain if we allow Russia to succeed in Ukraine the not stopping in Ukraine I recommend I know you know this because you've you've written about it read Putin speech after they moved in what it was all about in Kei it wasn't about just anyway you're listening to President Biden on KSL News radio we're going to go back to this news conference it's been going for 37 minutes now first we want to bring you up to speed on a situation on I-15 Ricky me is here we have a Road Buckle we do in this extreme heat Northbound I15 in Centerville the road did Buckle Crews have just left the scene this is after Parish Lane in Centerville two right lanes were blocked but again Crews have just opened up all Lanes of traffic we do have delays back to North Salt Lake but now we'll start to see those ease Ricky me in the KSL traffic center and 38 minutes into this news conference will'll continue on kosl news radio with President Biden say we you know we just put together was today we we had we I brought on I asked our NATO allies that we bring on the group from the South Pacific Australia New Zealand Japan Australia I I already mentioned Australia and I met twice now I think with the 14 leaders of the Pacific island nations and we've slowed down what's going on there we slowed down China's reach but there's a lot of work to do this is a moving Target and I don't take it lightly um Assam from NPR thank you Mr President Asma Khaled with NPR I have two questions earlier you spoke about the ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas uh we're now looking at 10 months of war and I'm curious if there's anything that you feel personally you wish you would have done differently over the course of the War uh and then secondly if I may I wanted to ask you about your uh presidential campaign I remember covering your campaign in 2020 and there was a moment where you referred to yourself as a quote Bridge candidacy a transition to a younger generation of leaders uh I want to understand what changed two things let's let's go back to when you talked about would I have changed anything that's happening with Israel and and the Palestinians and the Palestinian movement the answer is as you recall from the very beginning I immediately I went to Israel but I also got immediate contact with oisi in Egypt I met with the King of Jordan I met with I met with most of the Arab leaders to try to get a consensus going as to what had to be done to deal with getting more Aid and food and Medicine into in into the Gaza Strip and we pushed it really hard and Israel occasionally was less than Cooperative number one the Israeli War cabinet I've been I've been dealing with Israel since golden May year some some of the reporters around here cover me all the time have heard me say this the last first time I met with golden a I sat across from her on her desk and her assistant was Rabin sitting next to me that's how far back I go I know Israel well and I support Israel but this war cabinet is one of the most conservative War cabinets in the history of of Israel and there's no ultimate answer other than a two-state solution here and so what was able to be done in terms of the organ the the plan I put together was it would be a process for a true- state solution and we get the Arab Nations to particularly from Egypt all the way to Saudi Arabia to be in a position where they would coop operate in the transition so that they could keep the peace in Gaza without without Israeli forces staying in Gaza the question has been from the beginning what's the day after in Gaza and the day after in Gaza has to be in the end the end of the day after has to be no occupation by Israel and the Gaza Strip as well as the ability for us to access get in and out as rapidly as you can all that's needed there I've been disappointed that some of the things that I put forward have not succeeded as well like the port we attached from Cyprus I was hopeful that would be more successful but that's why I when I went to Israel immediately after the massacres that occurred as hands of Hamas that I the one thing I said to the Israelis and I met with the war cabinet and with BB don't make the same mistake America made after Bin Laden there's no need to occupy anywhere go after the people who did the job you may recall I get still get criticized for it but I was totally opposed to the occupation and trying to unite Afghanistan once we got once once we got Bin Laden we should have moved on because it was not in our no one's ever going to unite unite that country I've been over every inch of that not every inch the entirety from the poppy fields all the way to the north I said don't make the same mistake we made don't think that's what you should be doing is doubling down we'll help you find the bad guys sin waren company and I and all this criticism about I wouldn't provide when the the weapons they needed I I'm not providing them 2,000lb bombs they cannot be used in Gaza or any populated area without causing great human tragedy and damage but we're remember what happened when when you had the attack on Israel from with rockets and in ballistic missiles I I was able to unite the Arab Nations as well as as well as Europe and nothing happened nothing got hurt it s it sent an incredible lesson to what was going on from the Middle East so there's a lot things in retrospect I wish I had been able to convince the Israelis to do but the bottom line is we have a chance now it's time to end this war doesn't mean walk away from going after sinir and Hamas and if you notice you know better than most there is a growing dissatisfaction in on the West Bank from the Palestinians about Hamas Hamas is not popular now and so there's a lot of moving Parts I just have to keep make moving to make sure that we get as much done as we can toward a ceasefire a ceasefire and get those and by the way look look at the numbers in in Israel I mean I I I I my numbers are better in Israel than they are here but then again they're better than a lot of other people here too but anyway um candidacy in 20120 you referred to yourself as being a a bridge candidate for a younger fresh generation of democratic leaders and I wanted to know what changed what changed was the gravity of the situation I inherited in terms of the economy our foreign policy and domestic Division and I think I won't put words in anybody's mouth most presidential historians give me credit for having accomplished more than most any president since Johnson and maybe before that to get major pieces of legislation passed and what I realized was my long time in the senate had equipped me to have the wisdom to know how to deal with the Congress to get things done we got more major legislation pass that no one thought would happen and I want to finish it to get that finished if tomorrow if if you if we had a circumstance where the the there was a lineup and I didn't had an inherit what I did and we just moved things along anyway it's it's going to change last question uh Haley bull scripts or no Josh wingrove I'm sorry was the next one I'll do two more questions thank you Mr President uh many of your colleagues Democrats in the hill are watching tonight as they assess what they want to say about your candidacy I'm wondering how you're thinking of this right now it seems like your answer is clear uh but they're watching how things go tonight tomorrow in Michigan next week in Texas and Nevada are you thinking that way about whether how the next week or two goes would inform your am I using that way you said are you thinking that way about how the next two weeks go will that affect your decision or are you fully determined on running uh in November as the party's nominee I'm the determin on running but I think it's important that I real I lay fears by seeing let them see me out there let me see them my you know for the longest time it was you know Biden's not prepared to sit with us unscripted Biden's not prepared to you know anyway and so what I'm doing is and I've been doing I think we've done over 20 major events from Wisconsin to North Carolina to anyway to demonstrate that I'm going out in the areas where we think we can win where we can persuade people to move our way or people are already there and here look the other thing is we have the most extensive campaign organization of anybody's had in a long long time we have well over a thousand volunteers knocking on doors making phone calls making tens of thousands of phone calls we have headquarters I forget exactly how many I want to cite a number and then find out I'm off but we have scores of headquarters in all in all the the the tossup states were organized were moving and I that's awful hard to replace in the near term and so and here's the other thing I was in the Senate a long time very proud of what I've done in the Senate I was chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee for a long time and I was chairman of a ranking member and chairman of the Judiciary Committee I'm going to be going down down to the Johnson library on to anyway I'm going to be going around making the case of the things that I think we have to finish and how we can't afford to lose what we've done or backslide on civil rights civil liberties women's rights that little button we have control guns not girls I mean the idea we're sitting around this where common is so good as well we're sitting around more children are killed by a bullet than any other cause of death the United States of America what the hell are we doing what are we doing we got a candidate s promise right don't worry I'm not going to do anything I'm not going to do anything you got a supreme court that is what you might call the most concertive Court in American history this is ridiculous there's so much we can do still and I'm determined to get it done it's about freedom and by the way I'll end this like well I'm not going to do that Haley has has to come up too but the I remember I made a speech on Democracy in Philadelphia in Independence Hall and I'm not being critical just observe it the bulk of the press what the hell is he talking about that for democ you did democracy is not an issue democracy not an issue except the polling data showed 60% of the people knew I was right thought I was right I'm not asking you a question you don't have to answer obviously but do you think our democracy is under siege based on this court do you think democracy under seeds based on Project 2025 do you think he means what he says when he says he's going to do away with the Civil Service eliminate Department of Education make I mean we've never been here before and that's the other reason why I didn't you say hand off to another generation I've got to finish this job I've got to finish this job because there's so much at stake we've had some discussions over the past few days with your press secretary about the question of Health exams and you said you take a cognitive test every day in this job are you open to taking another physical or test before the election Governor Whitmer of Michigan for instance said it wouldn't hurt to take a test well look two things one I've taken three significant and intense neurological exams by the neurolog by neurosur a neurologist in each case it's recently this February and they say I'm in good shape okay although I do have a little problem with my left foot because it's not not as sensitive because I broke my foot and didn't wear the boot but but but I'm I'm good I'm tested every single day about my neurological capacity to do decisions I make every day you talk to my staff all of you talk to my staff sometimes my staff talks a lot but the fact of the matter is I don't think you have them telling you that all the major ideas we've undertaken haven't been in part initiated by me I remember when of the staff and I said I'm GNA go to South Korea we're gonna get the chip what are you doing I'm gonna get Japan and Korea back together again after not essentially having hostilities toward one another since the end of World War II I'm going to move and see we can expand you know the only thing age does is help you with it creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention and so the point I'm making is I think it's important that I if if my if the neurologist tells me he thinks I need another exam by the way I've I've laid every bit of the record out hadn't done had in hi a thing you ought to ask Trump for his okay I I laid it all out and every single day I'm surrounded by good docks if they think there's a problem I promise you or even if they don't think it's a problem they think I should have a neurological exam again I'll do it but no one's suggesting that to me now and I'll ask you another question no matter what I did no one's going to be satisfied did you have seven docks did you have two who' you have did you do this how many times you so I am not opposed that my doctors tell me they should I should have another neurological exam I'll do it but that's where I am uh haly bull scripts thank you Mr President uh you said you're making decisions on a day-to-day basis when it comes to support for Ukraine does that mean you have not closed the door on further considering lifting restrictions for us-made weapons inside Russia and if I may your convention is coming up where your delegates are pledged to make you the official nominee if they have second thoughts are they free to vote their conscience obviously they're free to do whatever they want but I got overwhelming support overwhelming support I won how I forget how many votes I won in the primary overwhelming and so tomorrow if all of a sudden I show up at the convention everybody says we want somebody else that's Democratic process it's not going to happen even if that means vot for someone else sure look I'll end this with this I served in the Senate a long time I understand the impetus of candidates running for local office and whether they think the top of they can help them or not in my state of Delaware which was a very at least a perp it was a red State when I started in terms of we now talk red and blue um um I uh I don't recall most of the democratic presidents winning my state when I was a candidate the truth of the matter is I understand the self-interest of a candidate if they think that you know running with Biden the top place going to hurt them then they're going to run away I get it but so far go and look at the polling data in their states look at the indepth and by the way I think you'd all acknowledge and you're all experts I'm not being solicitous about the president you're experts on this stuff how accurate does anybody think the polls are these days I can give you a series of polls where you have likely voters me versus Trump where I win all the time when the UN the unlikely voters vote he win sometimes the bottom line is all the polling data right now which I think is premature because the campaign really hasn't even started I mean it hadn't started in Earnest yet most of the time it doesn't start till after September after Labor Day so a lot can happen but I think I'm the best qual I know I believe I'm the best qualified to govern and I think I'm the best qualified to win but there are other people who could be Trump too but it's all start start from scratch and you know we talk about you know money raised we're not doing bad we got about $220 million in the bank we're doing well so with that you have any want to follow up on any of that you just ask me yes um you earlier explained confidence in your vice president yes if your team came back and showed you data that she would Faire better against former president Donald Trump would you reconsider your decision to stay in the race no unless they came back and said there's no way you can win me no one's saying that no poll says that this sounds tonight press confence thanks everybody now this is the part where the president walks off the stage the question is will he turn and come back to the podium you misspoke your opening you referred to vice president Harris as vice president Trump right now Donald Trump is using that to mock your age and your memory how do you combat that criticism from tonight listen to him this concludes tonight's press conference thank you everybody thanks everyone and with a smile he begins to walk away and that ends the news conference from President Biden heard live on KSL News radio Jeff Kaplan here the president did clear the way for the democratic convention delegates to turn their back on him and vote their conscience he insisted though it's not going to happen the president clearly had command of a lot of data but still misspoke a few times stumbled a few others and as mentioned Donald Trump was posting videos on Truth social of every stumble along the way most notably when the president called kamla Harris vice president Trump trump repeatedly referred to it as crooked Joe's Big Boy news conference the president meant to say he picked kamla Harris for VP because he thought she's qualified to be president this news conference ran 58 minutes it began an hour late and like any interesting piece of art the president's speech is up to the ears of the beholder KSL News time 627 we'll be back with traffic at JCW's we
