DEFENSE DEPARTMENT MEANING WHEN
I SELL SOME, THE ANSWER IS THAT
IS UNDER DISCUSSION.
THE NEW YORK TIMES.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU.
YOU SPEAK A LOT OF THE SUMMITS
OF THE POWER OF DEMOCRACY TO
SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS BUT I’M
CURIOUS WITH WORLD LEADERS HOW
ARE YOU EXPLAINING THE
POSSIBILITY AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
COULD CAUSE A GLOBAL FINANCIAL
CRISIS IS THE DEBT LIMIT IS
BREACHED NEXT MONTH AND ARE YOU
ALTERING THEM INSURANCE OF THE
14th AMENDMENT OR ANYTHING
ELSE SHE WILL TAKE WHATEVER
STEPS YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
DOES NOT HAPPEN.
>> FIRST OF ALL IT WOULD BE A
VERY SERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE IF WE
DIDN’T REPAIR DEBT IN THE FIRST
TIME IN 32 YEARS.
THAT WILL BE THE FIRST PROBLEM.
SO FAR LITTLE DISCUSSION AND
THEY ALL KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WERE ABLE
TO FALL ON OUR DEBT.
NUMBER TWO, NUMBER THREE I CAN’T
GUARANTEE THAT THEY WOULD
ENFORCE A DEFAULT BY DOING
SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS, I CAN’T
GUARANTEE THAT.
NUMBER FOUR LOOKING AT THE
14th AMENDMENT OF WHETHER OR
NOT WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY, I
THINK WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY.
THE QUESTION COULD BE DONE AND
INVOKED IN TIME THAT IT WOULD
NOT BE APPEALED AS A CONSEQUENCE
AND PASS THE QUESTION AND STILL
THE FULL ON THE DEBT.
THAT’S A QUESTION I THINK IS
UNRESOLVED.
I’M HOPING AND I BELIEVE THAT
WHEN WE STOOD AND THEN SAT THE
ROOM WITH ALL THE LEADERS FROM
MITCH MCCONNELL AND THEY SAID WE
WILL NOT DEFAULT.
WE WILL NOT DEFAULT THAT’S
INCLUDING KEVIN MCCARTHY SAID WE
WILL NOT DEFAULT.
I AM ASSUMING WE MEAN WHAT WE
SAY AND WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO NOT DEFAULT.
NOT DEFAULT. >> ELIZABETH PALMER CBS NEWS.
>> ELIZABETH PALMER CBS NEWS.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON MR. PRESIDENT.
WHY HAS PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY TOLD
YOU ABOUT THE BIG
COUNTEROFFENSIVE AND MAYBE YOU
CAN START BY TELLING US WHETHER
IT’S ACTION ACTUALLY UNDERWAY OR
I’D ALSO LIKE TO ASK ABOUT THE
F-16.
YOU’VE GREENLIGHTED THEM NOW.
JAKE SULLIVAN SAID ARMS AND
EQUIPMENT GO TO UKRAINE
ACCORDING TO WHAT HE CALLED THE
EXIGENCIES OF THE CONFLICT.
SO WHAT NOW EXISTS THAT DIDN’T
EXIST THE DEMANDS OF PLANES.
>> ALSO YOU WERE THE GOING TO
MOVE IN WHERE THE GOING TO GO.
GOD LOVE YOU EVEN IF I KNEW
PRECISELY YOU THINK YOU’RE
BETTER TO TELL YOU WHAT THEY’RE
GOING TO DO IN TERMS OF
DEFENSIVE.
I HOPE YOU HOPE I WOULDN’T DO
THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN IT
WHEN IT SUCCEED.
THE FACT IS WE DID DISCUSS
PRIVATELY, I DID DISCUSS WITH
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY.
WE AND OUR NATIVE OUT ENTER NATO
ALLIES KNOW HOW MANY BRIGADES
THEY HAVE TRAINED AND KNOW THE
STATUS OF THE BRIGADES AND HAVE
AN EXPECTATION TO THEIR
LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCEEDING ARE.
WE DON’T KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN,
WAR IS UNCERTAIN TO STATE THE
OBVIOUS AND IT WILL PROCEED, I
THINK I DO KNOW BUT I’M NOT
GOING TO TELL YOU BECAUSE I
WOULD NOT BE A SMART THING TO DO
EITHER.
SO HAVING SAID THAT THE
EXPECTATION AND HOPE THAT THEY
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL AND IT’LL
MAKE IT CLEAR TO RUSSIA THAT THE
COST, FOR EXAMPLE IT IS A
DISCUSSION OF WHETHER OR NOT
IT’S BEEN LOST OR WHATEVER AND
WHILE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
THE RUSSIANS HAVE SUFFERED OVER
A HUNDRED THOUSAND CASUALTIES IN
BAKU.
ENTERIT IS HARD TO MAKE UP.
WHETHER THERE ARE TROOPS THERE’S
NOT MANY STANDING IS A PRETTY
DEVASTATED CITY.
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE
IN A DIRECTION THAT THEY HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO LOCK DOWN AN AWFUL
LOT OF THE RUSSIAN FORCES
INCLUDING THE FOGGER GROUP.
WITH REGARD TO THE F-16S.
THE F-16S WERE NOT OF HELPED IN
THAT REGARD AT ALL.
IT WAS UNNECESSARY, LET’S TAKE
THIS FOR EXAMPLE.
IT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
ADDED CONSEQUENCES.
WHAT IS HAPPENED SINCE THE
PROVISION OF EVERYTHING FROM
FROM SIGNIFICANT MISSILE-DEFENSE
SYSTEM TANKS SOPHISTICATED TANKS
LIKE ALL THE THINGS WERE OF
CONSEQUENCE IN THE NEAR-TERM AND
THE DONE BOSQUE AREA AND THE
FIGHT WAS TAKING PLACE.
NOW ALL THAT AND A LITTLE BIT
COMING.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AS THEY
CONTINUE TO DO WELL THE GOING TO
BE IN A SITUATION WHERE THE
RUSSIANS ARE STANDING OFF AT A
GREATER DISTANCE FOR MAINTAINING
THE HEADQUARTERS AND OTHER
THINGS WHICH ARE OUT OF RANGE OF
THE EXISTING CAPACITY TO HOT.
THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BE A
POSITION WHERE THE FIGHTER JETS
AND F-16S MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
IN TERMS OF DEALING WITH WHAT IS
COMING DOWN THE ROAD AND GOD
WILLING.
WE DON’T NOTICE IF THEY ARE
SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR ENDS UP
BEING AN ACCOMMODATION WHERE
THERE IS NOT TO CEASE FIRE BUT
THERE IS A PEACE AGREEMENT THAT
GETS WORKED OUT THAT THEY WILL
HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN IN THEIR ABILITY
TO RESIST, RESPONSE BY THE
RUSSIANS IF THEY WERE TO CHANGE
THEIR POSITION.
THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE
DIFFERENCE.
WAS THERE ANOTHER PART OF THE
QUESTION?
[INAUDIBLE QUESTION]
>> NO, I DON’T EXPECT THE F-16S
TO TAKE PART.
LET’S ASSUME IT IS NOT.
LET’S ASSUME TOMORROW THE
OFFENSIVE WAS STARTING OR IN A
WEEK OR TWO OR FIVE OR SEVEN.
IT’S HIGHLY UNLIKELY IT WOULD
TAKE PLACE IN THE CONTEXT BUT IT
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE CONTEXT
OF THEIR SUCCESSFUL IN THE
NEAR-TERM THEY WILL THEN
CONTINUE TO FIGHT WITH THE
RUSSIANS WHO HAVE HEADQUARTERS
BEYOND WHERE THEY ARE NOW NOT
ABLE TO REACH BY THE EXISTING
CAPACITY THAT EXISTS IN THEIR
ARSENAL, IT IS A DIFFERENT NEED
JUST LIKE THE TANKS WERE NEEDED
IN THE BEGINNING BUT THERE
NEEDED NOW.
THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE
CHANGE.
[INAUDIBLE]
>> WHAT YOU HAVE PROVIDING F-16S
WILL ESCALATE THIS WAR.
>> OF A FLAT ASSURANCE FROM
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY THAT THEY
WILL NOT, THEY WILL NOT USE IT
TO GO ON AND MOVE INTO RUSSIA
GEOGRAPHIC TERRITORY.
WHEREVER RUSSIAN TROOPS ARE IN
UKRAINE IN THE AREA THEY WOULD
BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
[INAUDIBLE QUESTION]
>> IT IS FOR THEM. [INAUDIBLE QUESTION]
[INAUDIBLE QUESTION]
I’VE DONE MY PART YOU THINK --
>> I KNOW YOU WON’T YOU BE
SAYING BIDEN DID A WONDERFUL
JOB.
I KNOW YOU.
[INAUDIBLE QUESTION]
>> ON THE MERIT BASED ON WHAT I
OFFERED I WOULD BE BLAMELESS.
ON THE POLITICS, NO ONE WOULD BE
BLAMELESS.
BY THE WAY THAT’S ONE OF THE
THINGS SUMMER CONTEMPLATING.
I HAD, I GET A BE CAREFUL HERE.
I THINK THERE ARE SOME MAGA
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE WHO
KNOW THE DAMAGE IT WOULD DO TO
THE ECONOMY.
BECAUSE I AM PRESIDENT AND
PRESIDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
EVERYTHING.
BIDEN WOULD TAKE THE BLAME AND
THAT’S ONE WAY TO MAKE SURE
BIDEN IS NOT REELECTED. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
>> THAT WAS A 40 MINUTE PRESS
CONFERENCE OF JOE BIDEN IN
HIROSHIMA JAPAN.
>> COULD SUCCEED IN TWO WEEKS OR
THREE WEEKS THAT IS THE ISSUE.
IT’S UP TO LAWMAKERS.
BUT MY HOPE AND INTENTION WE
WILL RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND I
FIND A RATIONALE TO TAKE IT TO
THE COURT TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT
THE 14th AMENDMENT IS IN FACT
SOMETHING WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
STOP IT.
>> THE PRESS CONFERENCE HAS
CONCLUDED.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
>> THE PRESS CONFERENCE HAS
CONCLUDED, 40 MINUTES IN JAPAN
AT THE G7.
JOE BIDEN TALK ABOUT THE G7
GIVEN WITH CHINA AND ALLIES.
CERTAINLY THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND
HE COVERED EXTENSIVELY AND YOU
HEARD WITH THEIR OWN PETER DOOCY
IN EXCHANGE ABOUT THE DEBT LIMIT
AND THE ONE MOMENT I GOT
PARTISAN POLITICAL SAYING WOULD
YOU BE BLAMELESS IF ULTIMATELY
FALLS THROUGH AND HE SAID MAYBE
THE MAGA REPUBLICANS WANT BACK.
