>> well, yeah, voters did vote for it when they voted for joe biden and kamala harris and against one of the most divisive presidents in history. right now january 6th which is proof that we all don't have the same facts of what goes on in this country and mitch mcconnell's party is perpetuating the big lie even though that election had been over for months. voters voted against all that. mcconnell is trying to distract this from all this matt gaetz problem and all the marjorie taylor green and donald trump is still the leader of the republican party. this is all a distraction. he's starting the war for christmas earlier. >> a lot of these are distractions from serious issues. i think that's really important. let me ask you one other thing because i know a lot of people are talking about this and thinking about this. the original new york times 1619 project included a core claim that the u.s. reserve aleutian was launched to maintain slavery. they issued a clarification s saying it was not the primary motivation for colonies. t that can be part of a curriculum but not its core. please

but you are hearing from people like senator joe manchin, saying they have questions how big joe biden is trying to go. but he is reasoning that, not in washington, but on the road today here in georgia for this first stop. he's going to pennsylvania tomorrow. he's got several more stops planned for next week, because what they're focusing on is selling it as -- i heard you talking about this transformational moment. they view it that way, but he sees an opening given the pandemic and given the economic disaster that followed that, see thing is a spot where they can succeed in getting a plan like this through with what he envisions. whether or not that happens still remains to be seen. how do american voters feel about this? we saw the polling on the coronavirus relief bill. that relief bill paired with the infrastructure bill and paired with the american families plan is about $6 trillion in spending. that's a whole lot of spending. so i think that is going to be a massive question facing them. but the way joe biden was trying to sell it here tonight, and what we are hearing from offi

a single member, like democrat joe manchin, could derail the biden agenda. are you concerned about this push for a more expansive government? >> most certainly, i am. i want to see the details. >> reporter: after approving nearly $2 trillion in covid relief last month, some in congress are getting sticker shock with biden's $1.8 trillion american families plan, which includes expansion of the child tax credit, funding for universal pre-k and billions to reduce health care premiums. on top of that, $2.25 trillion jobs plan, which calls for historic investments in roads, bridges and broadband and a sweep of other measures. to pay for it, tax hikes, including on corporations and capital gains. manchin is not so sure. >> we can't overreach to the point that we stymie investments and stymie growth for 2022, '23, '24 and on. >> and the price tag? >> it's a lot. we don't spend money for the sake of spending money and causing more debt and maybe increasing inflation. we can overflood the market. >> reporter: bipartisan infrastructure talks are ongoing. it's anyone's

it is much harder to attack joe biden. look at the poll numbers. >> absolutely. of course we all know if you look at the numbers, the tax increases whether you support them or not do not add anywhere up to the cost of spending. that's a separate talk for a separate day. >> senator tim scott is going to give the republican response, the other party gets the response. tim scott will give it tonight. he'll say and here is a quote we got from him "before covid we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime. that happens because republicans focused on expanding opportunities for all americans." >> so can tim scott and republicans turn the economy on biden here successfully? >> well, look let's give biden some credit for rolling out the vaccines although it is produced by the private sector and distributed by the private sector. he touched base with our allies and his tone has been good. erin, they spent $6 trillion in the last year. $6 trillion. look, i was the chairman of the budget committee and now they're saying what they're going to do is get all this money out

join me and my team for coverage of president joe biden's first address to a joint session of congress. our special live coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. eastern. as for now our coverage continues with wolf blitzer. he is right next door in the situation room. >>> welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. we're following major developments in the criminal investigation into president trump's former personal lawyer, rudy giuliani. federal agents raiding his new york city home and office as part of the probe into giu giuliani's dealings with ukraine during the time he was working for trump. and there's breaking news coming in. we're also getting the first excerpts from president bi

, on president biden and his son hunter that he was hoping to use to damage then candidate joe biden politically. as far as we know it relates to that, but as you know, these investigations start one place and then they go off into other directions. look back at michael cohen, former president trump's former personal lawyer who initially was touched on as part of the special counsel probe by robert s. mueller. that went off in a bunch of different directions, and cohen still remains the only person who got significant jail time in any of this. i think that that is the risk for giuliani is that these probes begin in a certain place, and as he knows better than anybody they can go off in a bunch of different ways. >> i'm thinking now and having a image of four seasons total landscaping in philadelphia right near the tacony-palmyra bridge and one of the main boosters of trump's big lie about the election, the false claim after false claim, bogus testimony around the country, that there was mass voter fraud in the election, take a listen. >> so over the next ten days we get to see the ma

and this is a governor, who went to joe biden's inauguration, doug ducey, in order to make a point. that the, i guess, the majority of the republicans who are doing the bidding of the former president are on the wrong side of truth, of history, of politics, all of the above, like paul was talking about. and, you know, even republicans in congress who have been very critical of the former president. shelly moore capito. i spoke to her on state of the union yesterday. very critical of january 6th. of his role in that. you know, candidly so. when i asked her about whether or not there is a place for president trump to run again, in 2024, she said it was too early. but she did say there is still a place for him in the republican party. that's different from what liz cheney is saying. she is out there, with maybe a handful of other elected-republican officials, who are trying to put the squeeze on the former president. because they believe that is the only-viable path for the gop. >> dana bash, paul begala, thank you. amazing times. >>> more breaking news next. president biden is set to

first, what is your reaction to joe biden's declaration? >> well, it is been trailed and my overall reaction i suppose is it is a political move, nothing much is actually going to turn on it. the difference between the u.s. and turkey has not been the facts that large numbers of armenians were killed around 1915. but what to call that act of killing and for many decades turkey has objected to the use of the g-word, "genocide" and it is a motive word and their point haves very simple, the word genocide was only invented in 1945 by rafael lemkin and inappropriate to use it for something that occurred three decades earlier. >> explain to us why in your view the word does evoke so much of a sense of kind of horror. is the holocaust? because the term that people otherwise use for something like what the chinese are doing in xinjiang is crimes against humanity. why is genocide seen as so much worse than crimes against humanity? >> you have to back to 1945. before that, there was no genocide or crimes against humanity. they were invented at the sa

president joe biden went big in his first-hundred days. now comes the hard part. joined now by kaitlan collins. so what is the latest you are >> i think often, anderson, with these first addresses to congress, there is a lot to put in there. especially, of course, when you have taken over governing during a pandemic and vaccinations have been their number one goal has been pretty clear to everybody, as they have ramped up. but i think what you are going to hear from president biden next week as he does make this first address to congress is a lot about what he wants to see happen, in the next-100 days, because that's going to come, that address, one day before he hits his 100-day mark. and so, i think you will see him not only lay out that american family plan. that's that next part of, really, what he envisions in addition to following that coronavirus funding bill. the infrastructure proposal he's now laid out. this is going to be a part that's really focused on child's care and healthcare, all of that, kind of, aspects folded into there. of course, he will also

that was the effort that joe biden was involved in, then. and the -- even though the polls are overwhelming on this, the politics haven't changed. this has become, sort of, a cultural issue for the right. you know, it's a bit like masks. it's freedom, versus public health. and they haven't really lifshif much on this. so, i -- i -- i -- it is numbingnumbing to be sitting here, again, talking about these stories. they come so fast that you can barely remember last week's mass -- mass shooting. but, the politics is not -- is not shifting. and i am not optimistic, that a compromise will be reached. chris murphy, the senator from connecticut is working hard, apparently, to find -- find a compromise. i -- i do think that the white house is spending most of its political capital on the infrastructure plan. that is the biggest thing in front of them right now. and i think joe biden has a sense -- a realistic sense of what's doable here. >> yeah. yeah. i mean, gloria, david talked about, you know, chris murphy. the lead sponsor of the background-che

the major reversal from president joe biden on the number of refugees allowed into the united states. so let's get right to the chief white house correspondent kaitlyn collins what have you learned. >> this is significant because this is something you saw president biden talk about often even when he was asked why is he running for president? he talked about the way president trump treated the immigration system and one of the things he did was lower the refugee cap, the number of refugees allowed into the u.s. each fiscal year to historic lows, to 15,000. and president biden says he was going to raise it by thousands when he got into office. his secretary of state notified congress they were bringing the cap up from 15,000 to 62500. so over 60,000. you can see what a difference that is. but time and time again we had not seen president biden sign the paperwork formally raising the cap. but it's something the white house was being asked about on a near daily basis. now we learned that they are walking back that pledge. they are no longer going to be raising the refugee cap. and instea

. >> reporter: it means a turbulent few months ahead and when you heard joe biden speaking there there was deep eloquence of a decision formulating in him over decades. never a fan of long-term investment here because he saw the problems here too deep-seeded to be fixed and americans have tried everything from invading to losing to surging to drawing down to camped terrorism to only to peace talks. the only thing they haven't tried is not being part of the problem anymore so there was an element of the commander in chief knowing that the decision he had to take would lead to bad consequences, but he had the responsibility to have a strategy and to know frankly when to stop maybe, to have the courage to call that particular moment. he also pointed out the 1% of americans who do the serving, who do the dying and being injured in this particular war, and that's a key element because as a commander in chief you clearly have to know why they are there, know why they are enduring that. he did suggest that the drawdown would begin by may the 1st. that may pander to part of the taliban's agend

a couple of interesting things, though, in the details of what joe biden said. he talked about how they're going to begin leaving on may 1st. the taliban have said very clearly the u.s. has 16 days for a full withdrawal and then they might think about joining peace talks. and biden was very clear to say if they are attacked or their allies or partners are attacked during that withdrawal, then they'll strike back. it potentially provides a month's long period where the u.s. could hit taliban targets under the premise of this particular scheme as well. kaitlan also pointed out the sort of way he threw a lot of decision-making back towards president trump saying he wouldn't necessarily have done it this way himself. but i have to say i was broadly struck at a man who's lived this entire experience. he pointed out the salient fact so many people forget when they talk about u.s. troops serving here. the 1% of americans have been involved in these wars and the other 99% most often have opinions about what should occur next. he's seen himself the sacrifices, clearly fe

why is it that what seems like something that could be very simple, joe biden said we'll be back in the iran deal because we thought it was a good way to keep iran contained and not developing nuclear companies, the iranians said if the u.s. comes back, we'll return to the deal. that seems like a fairly simple thing to happen, and here we are neither side is in the deal. >> well, first of all, joe biden did not go back to the deal very quickly. he essentially sat on trump sanctions and demanded that iran go into compliance first. the iranians saw this as additional u.s. pressure to get concessions from them and then they dug in by saying they're going to enrich further and perhaps escalate in the region. but the problematic is that the nuclear deal -- some aspects of it will expire during president biden's tenure of office, by 2023. and the united states is facing a dilemma of how to lift sanctions on iran and yet get iran incentivized to negotiate to follow on deals or other issues that are of concern to the united states. the iranians don't want to do that. each side is contemplating

we only have a minute left, but i want to ask you, joe biden has thought that the afghan war was not worth doubling down on. it seems as though he's right in the sense that no matter what wife done 20 years later, the taliban remains very strong. is the best strategy to find an an an horror way to move on. and again we only have a minute. >> what is down to american's foreign policy priority. where does he want to put military resources, in afghanistan or to focus on china and other issues. if he wants to fight the taliban for another 20 years, it can continue in the region. and i think afghanistan is also window on to the middle east. in other words there are a lot of conflicts in the middle east but the united states has to decide what is it willing to live with and when it is going to give up the perfect for the good. >> very well said. vali nasr andrewel gerecht and kim ghattas, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> next on gps, in less than a quarter century turkey went from being the shiny example of a nation striving to be a full fledged democracy to inliberal democracy. what i

and chuck schumer, the majority leader, can't pass anything that biden sends over, without joe manchin. even using that special-budget process, known as reconciliation. he made it very clear, today, that what he thinks needs to happen is that democrats and republicans need to sit down. and iron some of these issues out. and we should note, that really takes time. and when you have someone, like the house speaker, saying she is hoping to pass infrastructure through her chamber by the july-4th recess, that doesn't leave you a ton of time to really have those negotiations with your republican colleagues. manchin, making it clear tonight, that he does have some areas where he needs to work with his democratic colleagues, as well. of course, raphael warnock, the senator from georgia, has been arguing that they need to get rid of the filibuster, in order to pass the voting-rights bill. that already passed in the house of representatives. at least just do a simple carveout. manchin making it clear to me he doesn't support that but he did say when he gets back to washington, he wants to get in

. >> reporter: >> reporter: president joe biden delivers a head-on defense of growing criticism against his jobs package. >> we need to start seeing infrastructure through its effect on the lives of working people in america. >> reporter: as republicans savage the proposal for going far beyond the bounds of traditional infrastructure, biden explicitly to embrace the idea. >> to automatically say the only idea is infrastructure is only a highway or bridge, taz just not rational. it really isn't. >> reporter: along the way making clear he's open to bipartisan talks, but has no intention of scaling back his ambition. >> we will not be open to doing nothing, inaction simply is not an option. >> reporter: but the plan is facing significant blowback with the republicans firmly opposed in claiming key elements are not infrastructure at all. >> i would be open to it, but not what i think they're peddling. >> reporter: it playing a crucial policy role and lays the battle lines in the fight ahead. as senator gillibrand, cha child -- and former house republicans and potential pennsylvania senate c

joe biden only carried 509 counties. but those 509 biden counties account for 71% of the entire american economy. so these companies know what they're doing. and they are following their bottom line. they're following their consumers. the notion that mitch mcconnell somehow now or donald trump for that matter is andy corporate is kind of hilarious. opensecrets.org says mcconnell himself in his affiliated pacs took $4.3 million in corporate money in the last five years. so he should give the money back. if he is going to boycott, why doesn't he boycott their money and give it back? >> abby, to that point, mcconnell made clear he wants the money and says of course they should give money. but he has long been an advocate for corporations to allegedly have a voice in politics, as we pointed out, saying in 2012 corporations should be free to express themselves. it certainly does seem kind of remarkably hypocritical. >> yeah, many of us remember the citizens united decision which allows corporations to basically give unlimited

. >>> any moment we expect to see president joe biden mark a new milestone for the covid vaccine efforts in the u.s., and he'll set a new public goal saying that every american adult will now be eligible for a vaccine by april 19th, that's just 13 days from now, and it's earlier than the previous deadline he had set may 1st. we should note more than 40 states have already stated that that's their goal. cnn's kaitlan collins is at the white house. kaitlan, i'm trying to understand this announcement because the vast majority of states were already planning to meet this april 19th deadline. is there something we didn't know about. did that happen because the biden administration had been previously pushing them behind the snooens is this because the federal government has been ramping up vaccine sites? is there more vaccine available because too many americans are vaccine hesitant? what's going on? >> reporter: well, jake, there are a few things at play. one, the white house is saying governors were heeding president biden's call to hit that may 1 deadline. can you see he'll be speaking any

it won't surprise you and your viewers by speaking in the kind of bipartisan spirit that joe biden's called for. in many ways, his administration got off to a very impressive start. not only in terms of the legislation that it passed or is going to pass in the case of the infrastructure bill, i think it is pretty likely to get most of what it says out, but also in the efficient way that it has gone about getting officials appointed and confirmed and in the way it managed its communications. team biden is in stark contrast i think to the previous administration's fire and fury. and that is welcome to most of us craving some return to normality in american politics. but i think it is worth pointing out before we get into comparisons with fdr and lbj, that the biden administration is much less politically strong at the outset than they were and let's remind ourselves roosevelt's party, 58 senate seats, 318 house seats at the outset in 1933, and as you know, the senate is of course tied with the vice president having to break the tie and the house democratic caucus is just 219 members. i
