i like joe biden but i'm in the 43%. he's been a disaster on foreign policy and the border is in chaos, the iranians are off the map and he's opening up negotiations with the iranian regime and they not on a damn thing to change. afghanistan will fall apart in russia and china are pushing already pushing him around so i'm very worried and i think he's been a very destabilizing president and economically, he's doing throwing a wet blanket over the recovery wanting to raise taxes in a large amount and regulate america basically out of business. i'm not very impressed with the first hundred days. this is not what i thought i would get from joe biden. chris: i want to pick up one of your last points there. you say that you believe that this president and democrats in congress have been involved in a power grab but i think they would push back by saying look, we passed covid relief without a single republican vote in either the house or the senate and as we talk now about infrastructure and social programs of the president is

biden's cast himself as a voice of unity. >> i'll work with democrats and republicans. >> reporter: but 100 days in, the president's signature accomplishment is the only covid relief bill that attracted no republican votes the gop slamming him for executive orders they say cater to the democratic base. we came here to georgia, a state president biden flipped blue for the first time in decades by the narrowest of margins. do the voters here think president biden's fulfilling his promise to unite americans? we met democrat shawna swearington, who's been furloughed as a restaurant server for more than a year while also supporting her 73-year-old mom. what was the low point like for you during this pandemic? >> just sitting there with all of my bills laid out in front of me and trying to figure out how i'm going to pay all of this how i'm going to get through this >> reporter: what does that moment feel like when $1,400 shows up in your checking account? >> whoo-hoo. yes! i can do something with this. it's a tangible. >> reporter: republicans opposed the $2 trillion democratic plan sayi

but, look, i think if you're joe biden and you say one of my main jobs here is to continue the economic growth that we've seen after a year of a pandemic, the job of the federal government in many respects is to get out of the way, not to cause additional problems. you look at the $1.9 trillion in spending on covid relief or covid relief plus, you look at the proposed $2.2 trillion in spending on infrastructure or infrastructure plus on top of the $5 .3 trillion in spending that we had before on covid relief, and you're talking about massive amounts of new spending. i think taxpayers would be -- and maybe some republicans -- would be more sympathetic to the kinds of tax proposals that joe biden is offering if this were tackling our debt or taking on existing obligations and paying for those. instead what you're seeing is new spending piled on new spending piled on new spending. i think that's a tougher sell. eric: yeah. let's finally take a look at that. we don't hear very much about reining in some of the spending and the deaf9 sit that's ballooned, obviously -- deficit. let's look at

biden and his family. it does not specifically talk about your laptop. >> yeah. >> reporter: was that your laptop? >> for real, i don't know. >> reporter: but you know that -- >> i really don't know if that was -- >> reporter: you don't know if the laptop was your laptop? >> i don't know. >> reporter: so it could be -- >> it could be my laptop, it could be that i was hacked, it could be that it was stolen from me -- >> reporter: and you did not drop off a laptop that you repaired in delaware -- >> no, no -- not that i remember. usually he calls me right before he goes to bed just to tell me that he loves me. >> reporter: hunter biden says he is rebuilding now and sober since he married south african film producer melissa cohen in may 2019. if his story means anything, he told us, is that the only thing more powerful than a monsterous addiction or eviscerating grief is a family's love. did you say you and your dad talk every night? >> every night, yeah. yeah. well, we talk at least every night. >> reporter:

we remember joe biden, he was shovel-ready jobs joe during the 2009 stimulus and he was going to make sure things like solyndra and "cash for clunkers" didn't happen, there's a pattern here. even if we didn't need the infrastructure and even if we did -- and i think it's problematic -- even if this bill did address just infrastructure and it doesn't, we have a whole generation that -- it's been 40 years since we saw rampant inflation, another generation can't remember the 2008 meltdown and when you get up to $30 trillion in the aggregate debt or two plus trillion a year and 110% of gdp, what do you think is going to happen? was going to pay for it? the only way you can pay for it is either inflate the currency or raise interest rates, if you raise interest rates, you can't pay for it because the service cost is just too great. we are going to have stagflation or inflation and the idea that you are going to gorge the beast, spend so much money that you have to raise taxes and that's good because it redistributes income but it's exactly the opposite of what gave us the trump boom. we go

well leaders are holding a virtual meeting on climate change for a 2nd day joe biden has praised the renewed commitments by many countries to cut emissions the u.s. has placed a hobbit so an emissions by 2030 by then said the world should see corporation on climate change as an economic opportunity rather than a challenge we've made great progress in my view so far and i'm grateful to all the leaders who have announced new commitments to help us meet the existential threat of climate change the summit is a start a start of a road that will take us to glasgow for the un climate change conference in november where we're going to make these commitments real put in all of our nations on a path to a secure prosperous and sustainable future today's final session is not about the threat of climate change poses it's about the opportunity in addressing climate change provides an opportunity to create millions of good paying jobs around the world in innovation and innovative sectors still ahead so on al-jazeera. very true but there. has been history in the make it once again after a successful

john: well, alicia, great to be on and to that point joe biden is taking a big risk and a big gamble with this plan and i think what you saw with the stimulus before that and also this plan is that democrats are as interested in infrastructure as physical infrastructure like roads and bridges. they have unrelated items like tax increases and health care, and there are ways to have debates. the republicans are more than ready to support infrastructure, roads and bridges. marsha blackburn has a bill that's an at earnive that would prevent tax increases but includes investments in green technology and i think there's a lot of conservatives who would support that but we have to pay for it. we should recycle government waste and not create more and all the new spending creates a drag effect in the economy and that's an incredible risk that the biden administration is completely downplaying. there's a risk of tax increases. there's a risk of adding debt and there's a risk of inflation and, again, it's a big gamble but the existential crisis that democrats are really worried about is not --

president joe biden has promised india emergency assistance as the country struggles with a new wave of covid infections and fatalities. during a call with prime minister modi, mr. biden pledged his support. the u.s. has also said it will start sharing its stockpile of astrazeneca vaccines with other countries, but it is not clear how many would go to india and when they will be released. a catastrophic surge is happening in the country right now. here is the bbc's correspondent. >> it has come to this. a hired van now a makeshift ambulance. with no doctors available, he is doing all he can to save his aunt himself. india's health care system crumbles and people are left to fend for themselves. in delhi, he waits outside the hospital with his relatives. we have been to a few, but they won't admit him, he says. we are standing here without oxygen in the middle-of-the-road without any hope. hope is in short supply, but some help is on its way. ventilators oxygen concentrators from the u.k. government are due to land in delhi tonight. even regional rivals pakistan and china have put asi

i'd like to know, is facebook and twitter going to suspend joe biden's account for putting out election misinformation like they did donald trump? if they don't, then we know we're living in a duplicity of rules in this country, and we know that we are. eric do you think this was political pressure? i mean, mlb reports that big names would boycott the game if it was held in atlanta. do you think that's part of the issue? and what do we do about it? >> it's time for people to push back and stand up. i was so glad to see the people in georgia, the governor and some of the legislate to haves, are standing up and pushing back. now, if there's something legitimate they can point to in the law and specifically say, look, this is really bad, well, then do it. but do it in the context of when that law is being debated and discussed, voted on. they wait until afterwards, they were all fine with it until it got signed, and then some people raised some sand about it even though they couldn't tell you what it was they were unhappy with, and suddenly these corporations cave. but these are the same c

i think it's it doesn't square with the political persona that we all see in joe biden. he's a pretty agreeable guys. pretty easy going pretty friendly enjoys a reputation of being really bipartisan on the in his tone if not in his policies. i don't think it still to this squares with what we see in him. i would say secondarily, you know, the republican party of late has been pretty sharp edge. pretty confrontational. i would say since the mid 90's and newt gingrich. and so if the party doesn't have a lot of credibility to bring forth what makes that accusation? that said, i think they're really struggling to find a place where they can really get up told against him. >> all they need senator manchin from west virginia. he seems to be the key player in all of this with a 5050, senate and he's a definitely a more conservative democrat, some even wonder if he really is a democrat, how agreeable you think senator mansion is to all of these proposals by president biden. >> to be joe manchin at this moment in time. you can you can pretty much write your own recipe for any bil

as a matter fact, a lot of what joe biden talked about in this address, they are already on track to do in california. governor gavin newsom and a democratic legislature is going to be implementing a lot of those based on the taxes of the wealthy. the trick is going to be them even more for the nation by keeping them in california where their money comes for us. >> that's a tricky tightrope to walk. we already see people in california leave for cheaper pastures and other places. phil, we heard the president talk about a lot of topics. he brought up george floyd. he talked about the john lewis voting rights act. he pledged support for transgender americans and even talked about ending cancer. very wide-ranging. that can be aspirational and inspiring, but realistically, what can we expect to change? >> reporter: let's not forget he also talked about gun- control. immigration reform. a host of issues. you know, it's a very tight, tight walk in washington these days. yes, the democrats control the house of representatives, but not all democrats are on board with the programs that the bid
