00:00It's the 75th anniversary, you know,

00:03but it's here in D.C., obviously.

00:04But what does the success look like for Biden,

00:07given everything that is going on

00:09in kind of the debate aftermath?

00:12What is he measuring?

00:15So, I'll say this, and I've said this many times before

00:17as it relates to foreign leaders.

00:20And, look, I'll say that the foreign leaders

00:22have had an opportunity to see what the President

00:25has been able to do in the last three and a half years.

00:27They've seen that certainly up close and personal

00:31the last three years.

00:32And they know that they are dealing with a President

00:35who has been effective

00:35and has just been able to get things done.

00:38I just talked about NATO and the President's leadership

00:40and how we've been able to strengthen NATO,

00:43make sure that we invigorated the NATO alliance,

00:46and that we've been able to see in the last three

00:49and a half years.

00:50So, the President wants to continue to strengthen

00:53that partnership and strengthen those alliances.

00:56Obviously, it's not going to just be NATO allies here.

01:00We're going to see others.

01:02For example, Japan will be here on Thursdays

01:05and other heads of states.

01:07I believe there's going to be 38 heads of states

01:09that will be here.

01:09And so we want to continue to strengthen those relationships,

01:12and that's what the President wants to see.

01:14It is an important year, the 75th anniversary.

01:17And I think all of the work that the President

01:19has been able to do will be on full display.

01:21Just one last question.

01:22If the President's health were to decline rapidly next week,

01:27just kind of out of the blue,

01:29have you had any conversations with him,

01:31or has he made any comments on if he was going to sign?

01:34That's a hypothetical, no.
