secretary of state antony blinken joins me to discuss next. and deja vu. democrats set another deadline after the president asks for a vote now, and progressives say nope, it's all or nothing. >> let's not keep having postponements. >> do they have a deal? i'll speak to senate budget chair bernie sanders exclusively and transportation secretary pete buttigieg ahead. >>> plus final pitch. candidates make their closing arguments in virginia's race for governor, a surprising line from democrat terry mcauliffe. >> this isn't about trump. >> reporter: as youngkin doubles down. >> i haven't thought about anything beyond virginia. >> reporter: is this race headed for an upset? hello, i'm dana bash in washington, where the state of our union is testing its international strength. right now, president biden is in rome on his final day at the g20, a major gathering of world leaders, the first in-person g20 since the covid-19 pandemic. climate change, covid-19 vaccines and the supply chain crisis are some of the major issues on the agenda. the president did secure a

joining me now from rome is the secretary of state antony blinken. mr. secretary, thank you so much for joining me. i want to start by what happened in the u.s. president biden went to capitol hill and asked for a deal before he left for cop26 and speaker ploes e told house democrats not to "embarrass" president biden on the world stage. as you know, the president is arriving there with no major climate plans signed into law. so in the words of speaker pelosi, is he going to be embarrassed arriving with scotland without a deal in hand? >> look, happily i don't do politics in my job but let me say this. what i'm seeing here in rome is a deep appreciation for american reengagement, american leadership, and it's making a huge difference on issues that will have an impact on the lives of americans. we're here at the g20 the world's largest economies and with this american leadership, with this american engagement, we've struck dramatic progress, we have a global minimum tax agreement, that's an incredibly big deal, something we've been working on for a long

secretary of state anthony blinken is wrapping up a visit to paris meant really to ease tensions over the new defense pact, remember, with uk and australia. the agreement to build nuclear powered submarines that led australia to a $66 billion deal for diesel electric subs from france. then we have u.s. talks with china. they come as taiwan's defense minister predicted today china could be capable of launching a full-scale invasion of the island within the next four years. let's have more on both these stories. in hong kong following the u.s./china diplomacy, joining us from paris, the latest on the u.s. secretary of state visit. melissa, i suspect as we set up there just before coming to you, this meeting is very much about mending fences with france given what occurred over the nuclear-powered submarines. how did that go? >> reporter: well, secretary of state blinken doing what he does best, which is use words, america's top diplomat, of course, they happened to be on french television last night saying much of this rou that washington was on miscommunication and that had to be fixed

blinken is a disaster. what are americans supposed to do, just wait until 2024? >> we have representatives of the american people in congress who have a responsibility to hold the administration accountable. it many the bay six of our civics 101 when we have the coequal branches of government. congress needs to take action to hold this administration and any administration accountable to make sure they are working in the best interest of the american people. and congress, they have to put the partisanship aside and putting the well-being and interests of the american people first. judge jeanine: it's not going to happen. >> we have to keep calling and keep their feet to the fire. judge jeanine: no, we have got to vote. we have a lot of the respect for you. thank you for joining us tonight. joe concha joins me next. check it out. serena... scary movie... serena... scary movie... serena williams ready to serve. ahh! quiet, please. get your tv together with the best of live and on demand. introducing directv stream, with no annual contract. judge jeanine: you may re

here is what secretary blinken said. we find ourselves at a moment of democratic reckoning, and a question for all of us and believeth survival is vital to a shared future is what we can do to make democracy deliver on the issues that matter most people. what are your thoughts on those comments? guest: i could not agree more. i think that is the most efficient response right now to the advancing a talker sees, namely -- a talker sees -- autocracies, namely that we represent 50 to 60% of the global economy. that is a familiar minimal -- formidable force that will create respect in beijing. president biden will organize and host a global summit for democracy in december, this year, and this first somewhat -- some would be virtual. next year, hopefully followed by physical summits for global democracy, summits for government in free societies. this is the right approach to counter the advancing autocracies. host: the former prime minister of denmark and the formers secretary-general of nato. here with us in the nation capit

the secretary of state tony blinken, who speaks french and has had a long u.s./french relationship, he went to paris. now the president is going to meet with macron and the vice president, kamala harris, is going to go to paris herself to try to ease this relationship, improve the relationship. it's been nasty and ugly. there was one thought the president himself after scotland would go to paris and try to improve the relationship, but that's gone away. they're meeting at this hour here in rome instead. but the vice president will be going to paris. but it's a very important relationship, and this is one issue that's really been at the center of this rupture, and there's no doubt, i will say, no doubt, i think this was the first time in u.s./french relations that france re-called its ambassador. normally that happens when countries are in a real dispute. for france to do that with the u.s. underscores how serious this crisis was. >> we're watching and waiting to see, as we've been tracking all of the live movements of the president as he's been moving about rome
