the so-called biden blitz was in rare form. joe spent all of oh, a couple minutes into very brief semipublic events likely between several naps. we'll have a full rundown of his incredibly lazy and limited schedule. that's coming up. first we have a lot of deeply troubling news to cover surrounding the police and rising tensions in america's major cities which are now sadly poised for yet another summer of violence that likely will be completely ignored by the democrats, the mob, the media.

i'm sure they are studying joe biden. knowing what you know, the things that i wouldn't no, are you concerned about their perception of an american president that seems somewhat frail and weak? >> mr. trump: well, something is going on because they never did this with me, i can tell you. nobody was tougher on russia. and frankly, getting along with vladimir putin is a good thing. and i got along with him very well. the relationship was very good. but they never encircled ukraine and they never in taiwan, china, they never sent warships all over the place like they are doing now. it looks very serious what is going on in taiwan. and that is a long way away. that is 9,000 miles away there right next to it. that is like -- i mean, it's very close. so, now they are, something is going on in taiwan. something may be going on with ukraine. this never was a big subject when i was president. >> sean: it wasn't at all. >> mr. trump: as far as north korea is concerned, i have a great relationship with a certain man that's got great

. >>> joe biden narrowly won arizona in the 2020 election. now it's the latest state to craft a bill that critics say is voter suppression. the bill is known as sb-1485 and it would remove voters from the state's permanent early voting list who have not voted in the last two election cycles and who do not respond to a final mailed notice within 90 days. it seems certain to be headed to the governor's desk but then one republican state senator unexpectedly blocked the bill setting off this testy exchange with the bill's sponsor. >> i am committed to fixing the problems in this election system in arizona, even if it means my name is in red on this board and you guys can say it's a temper tantrum. you want to see a temper tantrum, i can show you one if you really want to see it, but i will not. >> excuse me. >> who here has addressed the chain of custody? who here has addressed the sd cards that have zero chain of custody, that have the results that come out of the dominion machines? does this bill -- >> to your point of order. >> point of order

so again, a recurring theme we're starting to see here. >> and a lot of people thought that joe biden would be focused on domestic issues, dealing with the pandemic, the economic free fall, but foreign policy seems to be the top item on the president's agenda, certainly this week. not only with today's meeting, but the withdrawal of u.s. troops from afghanistan. you had the sanctions against russia. here are some of what the president had to say about his call with vladimir putin on tuesday. watch. >> i was clear with president president putin that we could have gone further, but i chose not to do so. i chose to be proportionate. the united states is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with russia. >> give us the big picture here. what are we learning about the overarching foreign policy view of this administration? >> yeah, i would add to your list that we had the start of talks with the iranians in direct talks last weekend that resumed this week. so it has been a very busy and symbolic period in foreign policy for the administration. it's also really driving

so were they kind ler and gentler to joe biden perhaps because he has been kinder and gentler to them? could be. >> bret: trey? >> yeah, bret, trump may be the last exhibit in the trial but he wasn't the first. look at romney and mccain, they couldn't stand either one of those guys until they started criticizing republicans. they sure as hell didn't like them when they were running for president. the media likes three kinds of republicans the ones that vote with democrats, the ones that lose and the ones that die and dying is just a little too much for most of us to curry favor with the media. [laughter] >> bret: all right. we will leaf there but as the story about press that we're going to definitely continue to follow. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines tonight with the panel. ♪ ♪ (vo) ideas exist inside you, electrify you. they grow from our imagination, but they can't be held back. they want to be set free. to make the world more responsible, and even more incredible. ideas start the future, just like that. why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number? because stayin

biden end up being the most partisan president ever. i don't think that's what he necessarily intended but that's where the party is going. but you saw how quickly today nancy pelosi was like yeah, not happening. why? because she can count votes. she knows she only has a very narrow majority i think only two seats now. the judicial crisis network is going to spend a million dollars regardless talking about this crackpot idea and making sure everybody in america knows everything about it. i am a little surprised that jerry nadler decided to jump on board this. to me that adds a patina of legitimacy of this. before pelosi could have just said like she does with the squad yeah, please two and too something else. you are berg me. i have got things to do over here. the fact that the republicans are now going to be able to press every single democrat and say do you support this? do you support this? and they are all going to have to be on record saying it, it's a completely unforced error and i think joe biden doing the commission was sort of

joe biden democrats are going to have a lot to say about how they helped accelerate that. and republicans for the most part didn't cooperate with that, even though a healthy share of their voters support things like the infrastructure package. so yeah, the sort of politics of grievance and culture war and not cooperating, the hypocrisy that claire talked about putting them in a challenging place. this is a closely divided political country, so we still have a lot of close elections but right now, you see joe biden answering the mail of americans every day. they want focused on vaccinations, opening up schools, opening up the economy which is what he's doing. republicans nowhere to be found because they're under the throne of donald trump. it is more of a cult than a political party and if anything, that's intensified since his loss. >> i do wonder though, claire, with this infrastructure bill, obviously, there are legitimate questions that can be asked there, legitimate discussions that can be had about the price tag and how this money should be spent and where it should g

joe biden. of the 16 heads of state who were present, only joe biden wore a face mask. he sat there silently, nose and mouth covered in black cloth like a wrestler from an old western as mask was vladimir putin held forth on international affairs but here's the weirdest part, that meeting took place over resume, none of the leaders were in the same room, thousands of miles from each other so why was joe biden who has been fully vaccinated the only one wearing a mask? no one asked that question, all precautions against covid are considered legitimate by the american news media no matter how self-evidently lunatic they may be. covering her face during a zoom call, drive to work alone with a mask on, it's all normal, says "the new york times," but then yesterday our own peter doocy at the white house asked what was going on and here's the response he got. >> why was president biden the only world leader at the climate summit zoom who was wearing a mask? >> because he is sending a message to the wor

he has invented a way to make joe biden no longer the president. to reinstate donald trump as president of the united states.e we are today at 100 days into od the joe biden presidency, president was in georgia today to celebrate the accomplishments of his first 100 days, including the historic big legislation he was already able to pass, thanks to georgia voters picking two democratic senators to send to c washington to work alongside president biden to give him the majorities he needed in both the house and senate, to get the big covid relief act done and to d hopefully in the administration's eyes, to get the infrastructure bill, the voting rights bill, the policing reform bill, the american families plan, and all these other things they want to get p passed. tonight, we're going to be talking history in terms of just how ambitious biden's agenda is, as laid out in the state of the union and as we have seen over the first 100 days. when you compare that with other modern presidents, when you look at the markers from other modern presidents about

while joe biden hits his 100-day stride. while we top well over 200 vaccine shots delivered in 100 days, with the covid bill passed, with the infrastructure bill on its way, with voting rights reform, with policing reform, with the american families plan on its way, we're supposed to be a country that has two parties, two major parties competing with competing governing visions for the nation. with what the biden administration and the democrats are doing here at 100 days, do not sleep on what is happening on the republican side right now. because one of these two parties is not like the other. as absurd as it is, it is the center of what they're trying to do in american politics right now. mark my words. susan rice joins us live next. stay with us. clothes rub against you all day. for softer clothes that are gentle on your skin, try downy free & gentle. just pour into the rinse dispenser and downy will soften your clothes without dyes or perfumes. the towel washed with downy is softer, fluffier, and gentler on your skin. tr

april the 14th is when joe biden announced that all u.s. troops would be out of afghanistan by september. that will mark 20 years since they moved in after the attacks on 9/11 here in the united states in new york and washington. trump administration said it was intending to pull troops out by may, that timeline has been pushed back by joe biden while talks continue to be broken -- brokered with the taliban and other representatives of the afghan government. we heard from the chairman democrat on the committee, he was worried that there was still some form of anti-terrorism operation available to the united states in the area. people have been talking about setting up some kind of base in india. he also said it was important not to take their eyes off afghanistan after withdrawal. many believe that after the russians left, the u.s. did not want to put any more money into afghanistan and that led to the rise of the taliban and the rise of osama bin laden. the republican leader on the committee said this was simply a mistake, he thought in a

tonight, joe biden's blue-collar blueprint for america. delivering his first speech before a joint session of congress. biden promises big spending on infrastructure and families. he says america is returning to the politics of international cooperation, but warns the biggest threat to the free world is china. also coming up, germany's top court strikes down the government's climate change law, saying it doesn't go far enough to prevent a climate catastrophe. and india sets another world record in daily new coronavirus cases, pushing its health system beyond its limits. plus, designed by a modernist giant. the five-year renovation of berlin's new national gallery is finally complete. we take a look at the history of this remarkable building. ♪ i'm brent goff. to our viewers watching on pbs, in the united states, and around the world, welcome. we begin with biden's $6 trillion plan. in his first speech before the u.s. congress, he made the case for what he calls a once in a generation investment in america. the president outlined proposal

you know joe biden. is this the same joe biden that you knew back in the obama administration? >> yeah, absolutely, alex. i mean, i think the decision that he made recently on afghanistan, again, echoed a lot of what i heard sitting in meetings in the situation room in late 2009 around that issue. i think in many ways he's very much the same person that i knew back then. i will say i think that if you look at some of what is happening around infrastructure and climate change, i think it's also a president that realizes that a lot of these problems have lingered far too long, and they're not going to get better if we keep kicking the can down the road. and i think you've seen really bold infrastructure plans, big plans around cutting emissions that contribute to climate change because he understands, quite frankly, we don't have four or six or eight years to waste on this topic. so, i think both he's steady in what he's believed, and i think as the vice president said, he's using that experience, but i also think he understands the moment in time that he sits in that oval office

the first 100 days joe biden's policies on full display this upcoming week as he gears up for his first joint address to congress and his 100th day in office. coming up, greeting his agenda kentucky senator rand paul under open borders, higher taxes and the administrations green new deal. will the democrats be able to push biden's progressive plans through the senate? plus, the last line of defense the attorney general's across the country suing the administration over president biden's sweeping executive orders. kentucky attorney general on the democrats a constant race baiting and why any policy they don't like becomes a civil rights issue. sherlock holmes to the rescue, kamala harris tells us that poverty, perhaps brought on by climate change, is the root cause of the immigration crisis with hundreds of thousands searching for the u.s. border every month as if policy changed with a handoff in administrations. will the vice president admit that it is her administrations policies, open borders that are the real reason so many are taking this dangerous and sometimes fatal trek to americ

what does joe biden do in 2021? if he sends even more troops into ukraine? outside of the crimea area. >> well, what we can't and we shouldn't go to ukraine's defense directly. that would be a war. we don't have that kind of commitment. we don't have the capability of the geography, joe. we can perhaps send some more anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to ukraine. one thing we should think about on the sanctions front, which is ironic given that it's earth day, is that there's energy. if the united states were suddenly to restrict some of the restrictions we set on ourselves for oil and gas production, that would bring the price down in the world. that would hurt putin, where it hurts him most, which is on the one part of his economy that's still functioning. that's something the administration need to think about. >> richard haas, thank you very much. i'm sure we'll be talking to you once again very soon about this. let's bring in national correspondent at politico, betsy woodruff, who has new reporting this morning on an investigation into new suspected ru

joe biden won't talk about it. and when he assigned this crisis, when he won't call a crisis, so the vice president, she has done nothing, except for talk to last sunday the president of mexico and then she promises i will eventually go to guatemala and i may go to mexico after that. ainsley: she did speak to the guatemalan leaders and she has not talk to el salvador or honduras which is interesting because she is in charge of the u.s. response to the northern triangle. she is supposed to go there and find out the root problem but two of those three leaders she hasn't talked to. pete: she has spent more time or having her people spend more time explaining what her role isn't than actually investing in what the solutions might look like. than picking up the phone and reaching out to try to forge immediately solutions, solutions needed right now by the people on the border who are completely overwhelmed and the kids being used by pawns cartel whose lives are ruined and wrecked in the process. well, there is plenty of

president joe biden is making infrastructure and jobs his next major legislative push. last week he unveiled a massive plan addressing both issues. this week he's focussed on whipping up support and countering those critics. we have more. zplr after spending the holiday weekend at camp david, president biden will return here to the white house on monday. he'll get right to work on pitching his american jobs plan. that sweeping $2.25 trillion investment in infrastructure and jobs. the president has indicated he believes there will be changes made to this proposal. as he's looking to not only get republican sign up on but ensure his democratic caucus stays together to support this proposal. now the president has said he'll invite both republicans and democrats into the oval office to talk about their ideas for the plan. he's also dispatched five of his cabinet secretaries where he's calling his so-called jobs cabinet to pitch this plan to the american people and to get in and hold discussions with lawmakers on capitol hill. they're reaching out to mayors and local governo

joe biden created a lot of instability in what short period of time. if he doesn't get tougher with the iranians they will have a bomb before you know it. i'm worried about the world under the biden administration. they are clueless in my view in terms of the threats we face at the border and abroad. judge jeanine: let's talk about afghanistan. i know you feel strongly about it. there are 2,500 military forces there. why are you so against removing them? >> they are an insurance policy against another 9/11. the last type we ignored afghanistan we had 3,000 americans killed. afghanistan was a safe haven for al qaeda. have we learned nothing from iraq? when we withdraw from these places and don't have an insurance policy residual force to watch the bad guys, they come back here. if you don't have your foot on their throat over there, they fight over here. we hado -- we had 3,000 or 4,000 folks on the ground. i think bind left us naked. i'm worried we'll pay a heavy place for leaving afghanistan. they will come roaring back and we'll have to go back in. i

liz: joe biden claims he wants to protect medicare and obamacare but joe biden and the first lady reportedly avoided paying half a million dollars in payroll taxes by diverting $13 million from book deals and speeches into tax shelters indiana republican jim banks who is the gop of the study committee saying you president biden plan to undo and pay these funds back to the iraqi people, when you saw that number that's high half a million dollars they avoided. t >> it is in part and parcel the hypocrisy from so many democrats who utilize they tax code illegally but criticize others for doing the exact same thing is speaks to the insanity of our tax code that people can utilize it that way. what i'm more concerned about in terms of bidens taxes is the fact that they made $16 million of incomehe since he elected the vice presidency. only 3.2 million dollars, 16 million in income and 3.2 and assets, where did all the money go that was really good reporting on john solomon. my question waited all the $16 million go. >> that's a good question. the other thing tax pros have said there's no reason fo

would there ever be real trust between joe biden and vladimir putin? and when it comes to holding vladimir putin accountable if navalny dies, it would seem that accountable has eluded vladimir putin in the past. is there anything that conceivably could be done to vladimir putin to hold him accountable in the world's eyes if alexei navalny dies? >> it's hard to see what that would be, that at least the united states would be willing to do. america, under presidents obama and trump, have from time to time imposed sanctions or expelled diplomats but have held back from pulling the trigger on truly punitive economic actions that would genuinely get his attention. they have not done things to expose his sources of his own personal wealth, something people talked about doing but not really followed up on. there's a lot of things america has not done in the interests of not escalating, as president biden put it. the question is how far can you go to get his attention without escalating it into a conflict you don't want. can you find ways to work with russia?

there are other lines that joe biden is not all there. it's been said repeatedly. former president trump said it repeatedly. he would also say, i'm asking a question or doing a retweet or putting it out there. that was a very ery familiar statement from him. it should have been clear to the congressman. he had ample opportunity to clean it up, and i didn't see it. >> it's a blanket defense for any question you can ask in the world. i'm just asking a question. >> was there really a moon landing? >> does maggie haberman really hate puppies? i'm just asking. i'm just asking. >> it barely suggests anything. it suggests it's fine to have done, and he sort of got there again when he said, i was in no way suggesting. but once he puts that tweet out, everyone's going to see it, and we'll see the "sunday morning" interview. and there's the phrase biden is not all there. i'm using that phrase specifically. >> there was a policy, track, backtrack, and track again with what the president wants to do on the refugee cap. he promised to raise it, and then the administration said,

and things that joe biden said during the campaign that he would undo and redo, and and he is doing a whole bunch of them all at once this week. so yesterday for example, we get president biden announcing the and to the longest war, the american military has ever fought, for nearly two decade in afghanistan the war will end. all u.s. troops will be brought home before september 11th of this year. interesting ali, that today, the day after that announcement about ending the war, president biden sent his secretary of state, anthony blinken, on a surprise trip to afghanistan to go meet with the afghan president. basically to show that even though u.s. troops are leaving afghanistan, but he was government is still committed to supporting the afghan government, and supporting the nation of afghanistan and other enduring ways. so, the tight scheduling -- biden announces the pull out of all u.s. troops from afghanistan yesterday, on wednesday, on thursday anthony blinken is in afghanistan talking about the enduring commitment from the u.s. government to the nation of afghanistan, which nobod

biden had indicated he was supporting. so what the press secretary had to do yesterday was put out a rare statement where she did allude to that confusion and then she did ultimately say because of all the blowback, even just from democrats, allies of the president who were so upset that the president had not fulfilled this promise, she said they expect the president to set a final increased refugee cap for the remainder of this fiscal year 15th. we will expect more details. what's notable is we don't expect that to be raised to 62,500. she called that unlikely. this is a political stumble for a white house that has been very, very careful about all of its policy rollout. we should point out that public polling does show when it comes to things like covid relief and infrastructure, the president is enjoying quite a high approval rating, but on areas like immigration, this is where there are more pitfalls and kwied. this division was met with fierce blowback not just by progressives and activists, but moderate democrats and

they are declining to comment, but in the past, president joe biden has said he's not a fan of so-called packing the court, instead he has created a commission to study the structure of the supreme court, robin. >> as you said, uphill battle. okay, thank you, rachel. michael? >> robin, now we go to that urgent rescue mission in the gulf of mexico, a dozen people still missing after that boat capsized during a storm and elwyn lopez joins us from port fourchon, louisiana, with the very latest. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: michael, good morning. the desperate search going through the night and into the morning here as the families of the missing are anxiously awaiting any news. overnight the coast guard releasing this video showing what rescuers were up against, seen from above massive waves of up to nine feet. none of it deterring their mission. the desperate search to find 12 crew members. >> you have to be hopeful. i'm in search and rescue mode. >> reporter: rescue crews already scouring an area larger than the state of rhode island after a vessel with 19 people on board capsized of

biden shows a post joe biden commander-in-chief or joe biden who spent most of the past 50 years as a senator demanding that congress be given its proper authority. juan: i would ask you about another major foreign policy issue that biden would deal with, and that his relations with china. there's a very interesting column in today's "new york times" by thomas friedman, who is arguably one of the most influential -- can you hear me? >> yes, sorry. juan: this column today come he's argued one of the most influential voices of the u.s. neoliberal elite. his column is titled "is there a were coming between the u.s. and china?" he goes on to say -- "what has made this return to chinese, iranian aggressive nationalism more dangerous is that and each country, it is married to statelet industries, particularly the luke perry industries and it is emerging at a time when america's democracy is weakening." he does not mention the u.s. major defense industry and how our state is married to our defense industry, but he goes on to talk about taiwan as a major producer of the most advanced chips

watch joe biden before the election. here he is. >> there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a russian plan. they have said that this has all -- 5, former heads of the cia's, both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. nobody believes except his and his good friend rudy giuliani. >> you mean the laptop is now another russia, russia hoax? >> that's exactly -- >> the -- russia -- maria: how do officials say such a thing when you came here you told us the truth? john: it's not about being right but truthful. that's why i came out at that time after adam schiff came out with narrative of this being russian information when there was no intelligence to support that. to your point to have 50 former obama-clinton-biden national security officials come out after the director of national intelligence says that this is not true and promote a false narrative to protect joe biden and try and influence the outcome of the election, that is the definition of politicizing int

it was working, joe biden dismantled that and now you have a huge catastrophe at the southern border and that is going to have reverberation all across the country so i think from top to bottom they failed, biden has failed on dealing with illegal immigration and rule of law. unfortunately, when you talk about the issues of releasing convicted criminal aliens into american communities, there is unfortunately going to be additional victims, that is totally unacceptable. maria: were gonna talk about stephen miller coming up about this, the biden the administration is flying migrants across the country to whatever city they would like to go to, the city of their destination choice. your thoughts on this into a cities and flying these people without ids, we really don't know who they are. >> just think about it some of these folks the same type of people that want the rest of us to show a vaccine passport just to be able to go to a movie theater or a ballgame, yet they are totally fine with people with no identification, no coping testing, getting on airplanes which you and i wouldn't be

president, joe biden declared back in february that "america is back." the message, the days of donald trump's america first isolationism are over. it has the u.s. president delivered on that promise? we ask some of germany's leading politicians to grade the first 100 days of the biden presidency. >> on then political style. it is factual. it doesn't shy away from difficult topics and does not revert to activism. in view of that, i give him a good grade. >> the situation in the u.s. is not easy, because the country is so deeply divided. the new administration is trying to bridge some of these gaps by investing in infrastructure and taking on the huge challenge of becoming carbon neutral. changes possible, even when starting from such a low base. >> our worst fears have been confirmed. biden is leading america towards catastrophe. both domestically and in terms of foreign policy. our biggest worry is a confrontation with russia. this clearly worries us. the same goes for germany, especially calls to stop th nord stream 2 pipeline. the pipeline is clearly

joe biden needs to answer for this. he needs to do another press conference. this is utterly ridiculous. >> harris: now you are asking for unicorns to walk. i don't know if we'll see all that, biden taking questions on this. i'm with you. i have questions, too. wouldn't it just be the thing for the administration that wants to do a deal now with iran. with iran trying to write parameters of that apparently, telling us what they want. that news conference, i would like to see the unicorn walk actually. emily? >> emily: who doesn't want to see a unicorn? yes -- >> just prance. >> emily: the largest question being of course who benefited from the leak? it's interesting to note up until now, zarif had political aspirations in iran and i wonder with the elections coming up in june how is given on the tape where him criticizing soleimani. and that figure who had is revered in the region. right? the most salients i got out of this, ted cruz made a point about the public accounting. and there hasn't been an accounting of kerry's cozy relationship with the adversary of

>>> tonight, president joe biden center stage. his first address to a joint session of congress before a nation still deeply divided over the election, still reeling from the pandemic. just ahead, the president's big plan from infrastructure to climate, to economic relief and the big with it, and can the bipartisanship find common ground or will he go it alone? america will be watching tonight in this presidential address to congress. ♪♪ ♪♪ >>> from nbc news, a presidential address to congress live from studio 1a in new york. here are lester holt and savannah guthrie. >> good evening, everyone. i'm lester holt here with savannah, just moments from now president joe biden will enter the house chamber to speak to a joint session of congress. the president, who for decades, has either been a senator watching from a gallery or a vice president sitting on stage, now the man of the moment and it probably isn't going to look a lot like he imagined it might and we'll explain in a moment. per tradition, we should tell you the first

i have to be honest, listening to joe biden, i think he accepts that it will be ugly. i don't think he believes that this is necessarily going to lead to dancing in the streets and general harmony across afghanistan. quite the contrary. but for him i think he has calculated that the 1% of americans who have been involved in this war, the 99% just have an opinion on t they have been bearing the brunt here and if he's not able to have the questions he asked of his military leaders why are we staying? what can we achieve? he doesn't get good enough answers he can't keep asking americans to come here and potentially die here as well. there's been over 2,000 deaths so far. he said he carried a card in his pocket with the exact number with him every day. so a deeply personal decision as a commander in chief and one that longer term strategists might say, look, frankly, american needs to fight tomorrow's wars not keep fighting yesterday's wars. they've tried everything, surging, withdrawing troops down, counterterrorism missions to peace talks, the one thing they haven't trie

so you want to see who is being soft on russia right now, it's joe biden. russia is amassing troops on the ukrainian border and you barely heard a peep out of this president. >> morgan: can i back him up -- i'm sorry. >> emily: morgan, please. >> morgan: i would is just going to say that this type of things have global ramifications, the congressman's absolutely right, there's global ramifications whenever we run with bad intelligence and presented to the world as facts. enemy later have to backpedal in all of this and one of the reasons why kayleigh and i and the dod were pushing back on this so much is because there are plenty of things the russians do that are egregious and wrong. amassing troops at the ukrainian border as jason just talked about and whenever you start blaming the russians for debunked rumors or bad intelligence or raw intelligence, it loses the veracity and our ability to hold russia accountable for the many things that they do that are quite egregious. so that's why it's so dangerous, it undermines what russia is actually guilty for an

look at joe biden. he has appointed a commission and hasn't come out against it but the commission is not going to report and not offer recommendations, it will report in six months. so this isn't going to happen. i will -- mark this tape. if by 2022 they increase the size of the court i will come back here and eat my hat. >> trace: good morning to you. i think you're right there it won't happen. there is no indication it will. but is that the goal? you talk to some of these legal scholars who say the goal might be just to intimidate the court. not really to get this thing going or even hit the floor but to actually open the door for this to be chipped away at over the next several months and years and in the meantime to intimidate the court members. your thoughts on that. >> it is a good question and there is the argument that's what fdr succeeded in doing when he failed to pack the court back in the 1930s that it intimidated the sitting justices on the court and therefore led to them taking a lighter

joe biden is going to be president until 2024. so they don't have to worry about a republican president coming in. but remember, if one republican -- democratic senator were to pass away and to be his replacement to be named or her replacement to be named by a republican governor, you suddenly have mitch mcconnell and any biden nomination would have to go through a republican senate majority. so that is why some democrats and beyond this one are suggesting let's learn from the ruth bader ginsberg example. he's had a long time on the court since the 90s. he was a clinton appointee. retire now and you have a democratic. and a democratic senate, which can pass his replacement. >> john: of course, the alternative if he doesn't retire, which is likely he wouldn't because supreme court justices dig in their heels is to pack the court as jerry nadler asked for yesterday. and nancy pelosi says she has no plans to bring the bill to the floor currently. that's not to say she might not in the future. >> i have to say, i don't think this is g

he occasionally unofficially advises president joe biden. and award winning historian professor and writer kiesha enblain, associate professor of history at the university of pittsburgh. but let's go now to the murder trial of derek chauvin. the former officer decided against taking the stand yesterday. he invoked his 5th amendment right passing up his final chance to give his side to the story to the jury. >> have you made a decision today whether you intend to testify or whether you intend to invoke your 5th amendment privilege? >> i will invoke my 5th amendment privilege today. >> with that decision, the defense rested its case. let's bring in professor of law at georgetown university paul butler, an msnbc legal analyst and former u.s. attorney now an nbc news law enforcement analyst, chuck rosenberg is with us this morning. good to have you both. >> gentlemen, thank you for being with us. paul butler, was it just too much of a risk for the defense to put the defendant on the stand? i mean -- and were you expecting this? was this a surpri

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

she's president joe biden's nominee to lead the justice department civil rights division. since january, right-wing voices have sought to cast clark as a left-wing radical. even yesterday at her confirmation hearing she was accused of being anti-semitic and a champion of cop killers, that's despite support from the jewish council and current police chiefs. "the new york times" editorial board lays it out like this. the real reason some conservatives want to take down ms. clark is that she's been an effective champion of voting rights for black, brown, and poor people. that's why she was nominated and that's why people like tucker carlson are grasping at straws to tank her nomination with lies. joining our conversation is mara gaye, katie benner is still here. mara, the right wing has taken this weird step in doing what i think ashley parker first coined, the quiet parts out loud. they're now smearing and trying to scandalize an incredibly competent and impressive nominee as an extense of their effort to sort of not have any obstacles in their campaign to suppress voting ri
