that's the same rudy giuliani who spent years digging up dirt in ukraine to smear joe biden and his son, hunter, with dubious claims of impropriety. the story first broke in "the washington post," which reports that the fbi told giuliani that he was the target of a russian influence operation, aimed at circulating falsehoods intended to damage president biden politically, ahead of last year's election. the concern among u.s. intelligence was that giuliani was being manipulated by the russian government. however, the post notes that giuliani appears to have brazenly disregarded such fears. even after he knew he was the target of russian spies, he still traveled abroad to meet with a kgb-trained ukraine lawmaker, an individual named andre dearcatch. and it later turned out that dearcatch actually was an active russian agent. that's according to the treasury department, which sanctioned derkach in september 2020 for foreign interference in order to undermine the u.s. presidential election. in other words, we now know that the fbi clearly had good reasons to warn giuliani, but rather than h

that's why we're suing joe biden along with texas -- >> tammy: excellent. >> -- for catch and release on the border we filed suit this week over the biden administration's new farm program that explicitly excludes some farmers for debt relief solely based on skin color. we're also looking for plaintiffs -- if we can find them -- who are willing to stand up and file suit on critical race theory which i know is an issue you'll be talking about tonight. >> tammy: that's right! excellent! excellent! what's your group called now, by the way? if they need to turn to and you find out what you're doing, what is the group called? where can they find it? >> aflegal.org is the website, if you're a victim or a federal worker victim of critical race theory training, go to our website, aflegal.org and tell us what happened to you. >> tammy: this is imperative. we hear the complaints all the time. we see the press releases from senators or someone who has a committee and you go into committee meetings and there's ramblings and pounding on the table and people are called names. you hypocrites. double

covert pandemic but there is still a lot of back seen hesitancy here in the united states president joe biden says he's going to be working to try to convince every american to get vaccinated it's important u.s. health officials say because they claim that in order to get herd immunity here in the united states scene about 70 to 85 percent of the population totally vaccinated right now about 40 percent of all adults but clearly if you go to airports here in the united states you fly you travel at all you can really get a sense that americans feel that this pandemic they are turning a corner because a lot of people are now traveling again especially now that more than 100000000 americans are fully vaccinated ok thank you so much get these on though reporting from washington. well in just a few hours all adults in india will be eligible to get $1000.00 back scene but there is concern of some states saying they're run out running out of doses purana reports from the. money could goal sits by her husband's hospital bed just hours after she lost her mother to the 19 she's managed to find him

here you've got republicans fighting with one another when you have joe biden beginning to launch the most massive movement toward big government and sky high taxes and they don't even have time to talk about that because they're fighting amongst themselves. they keep this up, they're going to jeopardize their ability to win the house in 2022. >> two republican lawmakers have told cnn that congresswoman cheney's words this week were no helpful in any way, shape or form. >> i don't know if she's on an island, but she may be digging a moat around herself. i talked to a republican today who said it's not helpful because every time she's asked about trump, she answers how she honestly feels. they believe in the house caucus that either you're with them or you're not. and if you're not with them in your attitude towards donald trump, then you ought not to be leading the caucus. i think liz cheney is thinking about bigger things. perhaps she's thinking about a run for the presidency. she's not shy about how she feels about donald trump. internally now, republicans in the house have a proble

using a lot of language tht joe biden use deas, hamiltonian nationalist language. i think the whig party did a lot of good for this country and that's why i have faith in what biden is doing. >> woodruff: jonathan. >> capehart: judy i think the first wheuj days have been a success, the next 50 to 100 days could be a second. but whether the rest of the term is a success really depends on the republicans and how much they want to actually work with president biden to actually solve problems. there's too much of a competition mindset here in washington that, to do something to allow president biden to actually sign legislation into law is a victory for him and a loss for us. meaning republicans. as opposed to a victory for the country. the other thing is, what will determine whether president biden is a success is whether republicans decide to come to the table with real ideas. actual ideas that they can debate and discuss with the president, and compromise with the president to actually get something done. >> woodruff: zero sum game or something where the o sides can

. >> if i ever hear that joe biden's a moderate again, i'm going to throw up. >> use the word "crisis" i think 10 times in his talk last night but never once with reference to the border. >> there's a big full moon, looks almost orange outside tonight. what's that mean for us? >> good night and god bless the united states of america. >> bret: one week in washington. monday on "special report" leaders of the senate intelligence committee vowed to get to the bottom of the mysterious attacks that left u.s. personnel in cuba with traumatic brain injuries. we'll bring you that story. this weekend "fox news sunday" chris wallace will interview cecilia roush, chairman of the council of economic advisers plus louisiana senator bill cassidy. thank you for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. make it a great weekend. fox news primetime hosted by tammy bruce starts right now. >> tammy: welcome to fox news primetime! i'm tammy bruce. now, for the week, we've taken you inside the left playbook and we've revealed their secrets and schem

joe biden. [applause] >> hello, everyone. great to be back in philly. great to be back at 30th street station. blake. don't treat each other at family. please sit down, sit down. your dad greg is here too. as far as i am concerned, the weavers are family. speaking of family, your father and i thought a lot of fights together, take those fights to amtrak on philly, i'd not come all the way to philly. it is a wonderful tribute to the station to bear its name. bill flynn, thank you for having me. governor wolf, mayor kenney, unger's and evans, thank you for the passport into the city. i appreciate it. i'll know if they are all here still, but i met a lot of important friends that were here for this occasion. i understand that the senator is here. there you go. the great senate ins. former attorney general. thank you very much. also dwight evans, what is here. you can't miss him. come on, stand up here and. a good friend of mine and worked like a devil to get me elected, and in boil. and donald payne, new jersey! i keep telling him that delaware is so small

joe biden says he was not aware of this guliani apartment search. i would probably say that's probably true because he probably also wasn't aware of the dates and where he was and what happened to his pants. i do not blame the fbi for not wanting to touch hunter's hardware for obvious reasons. they didn't want to catch anything. these are just computer viruses over that keyboard. to the bigger point, we have to remind people who rudy is and was. this is a guy that saved the greatest city that once was the greatest city of all time. he perhaps might be the greatest mayor, i think, in history. there's a lot of people on tv now, liberals that are trashing him that wouldn't probably be here in new york if it wasn't for the fact that new york was made safe and maybe to be the number 1 tourist attraction in the world, this has nothing to do with what happened in that apartment but we're living in a fun house mirror of america when a guy did so much is being ransacked and hunter biden is going to tulane to teach undergrads how to buy crack on a street corn

president joe biden has marked his 1st 100 days in office with a visit to the u.s. state of georgia which helped cement his election victory with the 1st lady joe biden the driving to promote his. u.s. economy and reduce income inequality. is proposing a 4 trillion dollar spending package to increase support families and middle income workers. democratic president will need support from republicans in congress including those still loyal to donald trump despite being out of the national spotlight the former president who's working to build a support base i mean in florida in. palm beach florida this is definitely not washington d.c. but it is a growing hub of political power within the republican party that is its headquarters mar-a lago the primary residence of donald trump he may not be president anymore but he is creating a fortress of money and influence to defend his legacy and possibly his future. palm beach is one of the wealthiest counties in the u.s. it has long been a center for conservatives and republican fundraising the money is still flowing but tradit

you push them to investigate the bidens, joe biden and hunter biden, his son, which, of course, started the chain of events that led to his first impeachment, and also some of this was covert and outward efforts by these russian officials, those close to russia, and other times, it was just, how internalized this had all become, that for so many republicans and the conservative media where suddenly vladimir putin, who, for years, of course, was considered enemy number one for republicans too. let's remember, mitt romney in 2012 said that he was the greatest threat, russia was the greatest threat, international threat the united states faced. but because of how trump changed the conversation, the way that he allied himself and spoke so fondly of putin and the way, of course, that they wanted to hear this disinformation that the russians provided, these attacks on whether it was obama or clinton or whatever democrat it may be and then eventually biden that they just were willing to go along with it. they sort of accepted the kremlin's talking points. even if they didn't necessarily realiz

biden's like him amtrak is something that is pretty close tojoe biden's heart. he travelled on what's called the train _ he travelled on what's called the train that— he travelled on what's called the train that goes up and down the northeast— train that goes up and down the northeast corridor of the united states— northeast corridor of the united states from delaware to washington when he _ states from delaware to washington when he was a senator. he used to call him _ when he was a senator. he used to call him amtrakjoe, in fact. so this is— call him amtrakjoe, in fact. so this is him _ call him amtrakjoe, in fact. so this is him sort of paying tribute to that — this is him sort of paying tribute to that service which he used on a regular— to that service which he used on a regular basis to travel millions of mites _ regular basis to travel millions of mites it — regular basis to travel millions of miles. it you are right, this is a much _ miles. it you are right, this is a much wider— miles. it you are right, this is a much wider campaign he i

joe biden and kamala harris, they know this country is not racist. but race card is a business with the democratic party. they have to play that card. tim scott, a conservative black republican who challenged him on the issue of race challenged the very fabric of the democratic party. without the black vote, there's no democratic party. and they were forced to admit it. they caveated with 400 years of racism. a code for critical race theory. jim crow. so they have to play that game, martha, because they don't want a defection like leo terrell last year joining the republicans. like 50 cent and ice cube wanting to join the republican party. that is what they're afraid of. blacks leaving the democratic party. >> martha: yeah. watch, this you're right, leo. here's sonny hofton on "the view." >> i was disappointed where he said america is not a racist country without talking about the systemic racism that is plaguing this country. why was he chosen to give this rebuttal? he was chosen because he's the only black republican senator. his the person that re

but clearly, joe biden's political identity has been shaped by amtrak. as you mentioned, it's celebrating 50 years now. 50 years ago, joe biden was first collected to public office. and of course, he took those 8,000 by his own estimation trips between washington and wilmington as a senator and some as vice president to be home with his children, especially in those early days. this is more than a nostalgia tour. it's getting america back on track. the president here today to sell his american jobs plan, which includes $80 billion for the passenger rail in this country. he has called it the second great rail road revolution he's trying to spur. and he's not the only administration official on the road. and not the only one on a train station. pete buttigieg, the secretary of transportation there today. you'll notice all of these officials in key political states as well, as they try to put up, ramp the pressure up on lawmakers, especially republicans to support this major challenge. >> and he made the case, what this means for the economy as well as the

joe biden press expressing confidence that all schools should probably be able to open. >> there's not overwhelming evidence that there's much of a transmission among young people. >> reporter: moderna is preparing to have their vaccine authorized by children, while the authorization for the same age group could come soon. the hope of expanding vaccine eligibility intensifies as vaccination rates slumps to its lowest level in weeks. a new cnn poll shows 26% of american adults still don't plan to try to get a shot at all. >> we are now increasingly focused on other groups that will take time to reach. and we expect the number of shots administered each day to moderate and fluctuate. >> reporter: all the vaccines we currently have on the market were brought here by emergency use authorization from the fda, dut dr. fauci is saying very soon we could see full fda approval for the pfizer vaccine and the moderna vaccine, and officials are really hopeful that that could help to boost confidence among some who are still hesitant. >> thank you so much. >>> still ahead, rudy giuliani, we're hear

i want to dive into the sound of the size of the proposals joe biden is making in this country. >> you proposed $6 million and you plan to pay for it by taxes of the wealthy. why are taxes so much when the country is recovering from the pandemic? >> that's why it's recovering. we're spending. look how it's recovering from the last piece of legislation. that legislation was $1.9 trillion. if we don't invest, we'll fall even further. >> he argued that we were already behind before this second round of investment, but clearly president biden wants to run full force with this idea of taxing the wealthy. he believes taxing the wealthy is a politically strong message for him and the democrats. >> this is a fundamental difference in how the president and republicans and even some moderate democrats view what this next stage of the recovery should look like, katy. you're absolutely right, what we saw there was essentially president biden doubling down on the fact that he is betting that americans want more government intervention in their lives. especially when it comes to this infrastructure

our poll shows 7 in 10 republicans do not think joe biden got enough votes to win the presidency. this comes at rz republicans once again auditing the 2020 ballots in arizona's biggest county as they push the push the lie that the election was stolen from donald trump. >> reporter: this is yet another tally of the nearly 2.1 million ballots in maricopa county. but this so-called audit is unlike any other. these are ballot counters heading into a shift. have you ever done election counting before? >> no. but it's -- there's nothing to it. it's -- it's pretty obvious. >> no thanks. >> reporter: most don't want to talk. others -- we're just trying to do a story. openly partisan, as you see what they displayed and what they say. >> what news group are you from? >> reporter: cnn. >> okay. >> reporter: one american news network is the small far right-wing outlet that has promoted false claims that donald trump won the election. they are also livestreaming the event. its hosts have help raise funds for this exercise. we were initially told we could not enter the publicly owned arizona st

. >> joe biden famously took the train every day to and from work d.c. to delaware and i was going to return to one of amtrak's biggest hubs in philadelphia within $80 billion check but he hopes congress less in cash. to my maybe he could donate his frequent writer points to the government and that would take care of a whole lot of rights for a whole lot of americans. thank you so much. >> john: for more on this, let's bring in former white house chief of staff mark meadows. when you look at the amount of spending in "the first 100 days" as we are at the 100 right now, $6 trillion, there is a new metric that every spending has to be $2 trillion but the big question is do we need all this spending right now? the economy seems posed for a huge uptick which president trump predicted, there's all the spending risk the economic recovery? >> of course it does. when you look at this, when you look at the amount of spending that joe biden and his democrat leftist agenda colleagues are proposing, this is about buying votes in certain cities, this is about $80 bil

biden politically. cnn previously reported that the white house and congress had received briefings that giuliani was receiving misinformation from foreign nationals. but we have not confirmed "the washington post" report that we just received a comment from giuliani's attorney robert costello and he denies this. he says in a statement the story is totally false according to giuliani, never received any such briefing. >> let's discuss with carrie -- a former doj official, and a cnn legal and national security analyst. carrie, beginning with giuliani's legal troubles, listen to this from his fox interview last night. >> that warrant is completely illegal. the only way you can get a search warrant is if you can show that there's some evidence that the person is going to destroy the evidence. or is going to -- or is going to run away with the evidence. i've had it for two years and i haven't destroyed it. >> is that how warrants work? >> no, that's just not correct and it's pretty surprising to hear somebo

biden, we are naming and shaming them. giuliani had been meeting with that person and others. >> now it appears as if -- how many folks in the trump administration perhaps were given these briefings and still sort of -- i'm sorry. i look at this now and -- you realize, we know the entire trump operation knew full well that everything coming out of ukraine was nothing but a russian intelligence plot, and they all went with it. they all used it. the president, all of his operatives, i mean -- to consider what we now know of this briefing, it also means quite a few trump officials and trump campaign people knowingly passed on russian propaganda. >> yes it does, chuck. putting ourselves in their shoes, trying to understand the world as they see it, you can perhaps argue that maybe they said, just because it's the russian intelligence agencies are saying doesn't mean all of it is false. some of them may have legitimately believed that there was a corruption issue, that hunter biden was on this board and that needed to be invest

joe biden is president. but seven in ten republicans still say the president of the united states is an illegitimate president, seven in ten republicans say that and 27% of independents say that. imagine how much this complicates president biden's efforts to talk to the country when 70% of republicans think he doesn't deserve the job, that he has. now, you would think, months would pass, the election is over, this would fade. it has faded some. but not much. in 58 -- in january 58% of republicans said there was solid evidence, not just donald trump says, but solid evidence biden did not win enough votes. that's down to 50% among republicans but still half of republicans still say they believe there's solid evidence. like to see it, because there is none, but that's what half of republicans believe. this complicates joe biden's job, trying to talk to the american people, all americans and it's part of the reason republicans are doing this. republicans still say there was all this nefarious conduct in the 2020

neil: all right, so, the bloom is off that new administration rose between joe biden and the chamber of commerce, it wasn't expected to be all smooth , steve moore back with us , katherine rooney. steve, you know, you guys had your differences with the chamber as well, over other issues namely the trade battles, but this gets back to basics on taxes, and the chamber is worried this is going to have damaging effects on business, business hiring practices, do you agree with that? >> there's no question it will, neil. look we're living in a global economy. the american companies whether they're small businesses or american corporations are competing against china and japan, and germany, and france, and mexico. when we put our tax plan together for trump, we were looking at how do we enhance the competitiveness of our business, how do we make them tax competitive, how do we make them competitive in terms of trade and in terms of the regulatory burden and we lowered all of those , and it worked. i mean, my goodness i've got a figure for you, neil that you majority it not have heard before

urged to spread disinformation about joe biden. giuliani's lawyer denied where the former mayor got that briefing but nbc news starts by the reporting. joining me now jeremy bash, former chief of staff, cia and pentagon and attorney from chief counsel house intelligence committee as well. disinformation is a big deal and also the fact that rudy giuliani according to the fbi and "the new york times" account, the fbi, rather, was looking into the ukrainian push to get rid of maria vanovich. is this an alleged violation of the foreign lobbying laws or is there something more here? >> well, there appear to be two streams here to the fbi's investigation into activities involving rudy giuliani. the first is russian interference in the u.s. political system. obviously, this is a well-understood story by the u.s. intelligence community which has published assessments that show that russia obviously was involved in the 2016 election. but also was trying to influence the 2020 election. so there's a national security commission. i think the o

damaging to joe biden. now cnn previously reported that the white house and congress had been given these kinds of do you havive defensive briefings. but the new reporting from post says that giuliani was briefed in 2019 and then following that briefing, giuliani then went on a trip to ukraine and met with some of the officials who were later identified as being actors of russian intelligence. giuliani's attorney has not responded. >> so what is giuliani saying about this investigation and the raid? >> yeah. so last night giuliani was on fox. he gave the first interview about the fbi raid at his apartment just behind me on wednesday. and giuliani said that the officials there had seized seven or eight electronic devices. they came banging on doorthe do first thing in the morning. he was looking for dirt on joe biden and where he was pushing for the removal of the u.s. ambassador to ukraine. the question that prosecutors are looking at was that part of the effort that giuliani was undertaking on behalf of th

joe biden has looked at us and said look at me, man, come on, man, i'm not a socialist. then on wednesday he delivered a socialist manifesto that makes the squad beyond proud. he sold out to china as evidence of the fact his son still is involved there. how could you allow a family member to be tied to the communist chinese, our biggest rival, enemy on the global stage? how in any way is that acceptable for the leader of the free world? they know the press won't press him on it. thank goodness folks like you do. it's the double standard that is the standard of the left. >> harris: pete hegseth. i'll watch you "fox & friends" weekend co-host and star extraordinaire and my friend. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: is this the right message to send? awkward. 30 seconds when a fully vaccinated president cannot find his mask and he makes an announcement he is in trouble. plus senator tim scott firing back at racist attacks against him on social media following his response to president biden's address to congress. why senator scott says the attack will backfire big time. >> wh

my exclusive one on one interview with president joe biden. his only interview marking his 100th day in office. a wide ranging conversation touching on the pandemic, vaccines, whether america is a racist country and the role of government in our lives. >> i don't have any inordinate faith in government. but there's certain things only the government can do. >> i pressed the president on the situation at the border. one area where polls show widespread disapproval. he tells me his administration has made progress considering what they were left with. he still won't call it a crisis. of course, we also spent time talking about that multi-trillion dollar spending package or packages. plans that he will start selling to the american people today when he hits the road. president biden heading to philly. that's where we will start. mike memoli made his way to the city of brotherly love. we are officially on day 101 now, president biden hitting the road, pitching his economic plans. walk us through what we can expect to hear from the president today.

there i'm remundinded of someth that joe biden believed, first lesson of being president. you can set an agenda but it is impossible to be able to follow it day to day. simply because of things coming down the pike. in this case, there is a level environment legislative unpredictability that he is contending with that is going to make it very difficult. i wonder if you believe that he is pushing back a bit at this sort of caretaker idea. joe biden, veteran politician coming in. quiet things down post trump. i have a legacy here. i'm going big on family stuff, health care, gun reform, immigration. >> yeah, i think so. it's interesting. i started to hear that tone from him last summer. he started the cam ppaign sayin he wanted to be the caretaker tra transitional president. he said, no, i see myself in the challenge that fdr was facing. i think at the time people said how does that actually work? this is something he doesn't want to go down in hist rich. he didn't meet the challenge or the moment. that is why you begin to hear from him this much more ambitious and some ways,

joe biden, now president of the united states. hillary clinton, bob gates, leon panetta, mike mullen around the room and the president asked for final recommendations as to whether or not to go ahead and the room was split. and you know, we put it on our president, right, and i walked back to the oval office with him after the -- after the meeting and he had told the group that he would have this the next day, which would have been this morning, 10 years ago and i remember watching him walk back to the mansion from the west wing of the white house and really striking me, all of us that we put the tremendous decisions on the shoulders of one person and we had an e-mail, and the president wanted to be in the situation room, you look out at the tremendous vistas of washington and came in and said i've made the decision, it's a raid and i have gathered there with bill daley, chief of staff and john brennan then the counterterrorism director and would go on to be cia director and a chief of staff and made the decision, it's the raid. d

the joe biden ended the longest war in american history. you have not ended it, you have extended and. host: lindsey graham from earlier this month, talking about the decision to withdraw troops from afghanistan. what grade would you give the president on his foreign policy? there is also the covert response, economic recovery, immigration, guns and policing. climate change, calls for national unity and cabinet appointees diversity. these are things he talked about on the campaign trail. how do you feel he has done? kevin in indiana, independent, good morning, your grade? caller: i would say to be honest and fair, the only grade i can assign is incomplete. he has made progress in terms of fighting covid. he has made major steps in terms of economic recovery brought on by the dangers of covid. in many other areas, aspects, including the infrastructure proposals and you turn to the prompts along the border this is an administration that has work ahead of it. not the least of which is the work to commence at the american people that it is on t

even if you compromise and get a bipartisan deal they're voting a joe biden opportunity. is there actual republican interest in compromise? >> you're absolutely right the political incentives make members of both parties tack hard to their base in seeking consensus and compromise. there are voices there. the problem solvers caucus is working right now on an infrastructure plan like they did last year on covid relief that became the foundation for ultimate agreement. they need to do the same thing now. there are people who want to do infrastructure on both sides. they should let the centers, the manchins, fitzpatricks and others, let them negotiate a deal. the leaders should embrace it. the leaders are also very afraid of their own bases in many respects. they get a lot of pressure from their caucuses and the senate has to really drive this thing. if they do, i think we could see some results. >> chuck schumer, he has his own challenge within his party in 2022. he has to be conscious of the base as he's making these deals. we will see. it may be a necessity for biden becau

biden, and candidate joe biden to hurt his campaign. how big of a deal is a briefing like this? >> it's a big deal, john. it doesn't happen without a significant amount of information that basically proves to the fbi that this sort of nefarious contact is underway. so you go to the person and you explain to them -- oftentimes you can't share all the confidential or classified intelligence you have, but you explain to them, hey, this person or these people are actually acting on behalf of a hostile foreign service and they're targeting you. after that fact, the fbi steps back and waits to see how you handle that briefing. if you cut off your interactions with them, that's a good sign. if you continue to sinteract wih them, which we know rudy giuliani did here, that's a very bad sign. you now are acting with these foreign agents and you are aware of the fact that the u.s. government thinks they are hostile intelligence agents. that is very serious. >> yeah. and perhaps very telling. andy, thank you so much, andy mccabe. >>> rudy giuliani,

it seems like that is actually accelerating with that $4.1 trillion plan by joe biden. the question is, how much will actually get into the market? jonathan: and will they upgrade their earnings forecasts, too? to lisa's point, i think this is what we are all grappling with going into the year ahead. what can actually get done in washington, d.c. right now? all of the big numbers we have heard about comer proposals, plans, the start of negotiations. let's bring in michael zezas, morgan stanley head of u.s. policy research and chief municipal strategist as well. those numbers at morgan stanley, how on earth do you come up with them? joe: fair enough -- michael: fair enough. you mentioned about $4 trillion of spending. when we break down the components of that, we try to count the votes that are out there in the senate and the house of representatives. almost all of that spending is pretty viable. it is really the taxes that we think aren't viable, at least all of the taxes. by our estimate, there's probably about $1.8 trillion or so of tax increases that are viable, incl

mario: that is a tough lift for president biden. not only is he facing republican opposition, republicans are staunchly opposed to any type of tax increases, but he also has to keep his party in line. moderate democrats like joe manchin, kyrsten sinema, mark kelly, they are going to have pressure on them as republicans continue to try to attack both the president and attack them with the midterm elections coming up. he really has to convince his party to stick with him. jonathan: a rock and a hard place. the moderates who want more -- the progressives who want more, the moderates who want less. who's got the louder voice? mario: that's one of the problems, one of the challenges facing president biden. he's gotten relatively high marks from his party so far. he's on i think day 102 now. but he's had some disappointment from the left flank. the $15 an hour men among wage, if you recall that debate a couple of months back. student loan forgiveness as well. so he is facing some pressure from the leftward flank of his party. whether or n

but if anybody can do it, it will be joe biden. he has a lot of things in front of him to try to make some bipartisan deals on, including the two big pieces of legislation that he has announced in his first hundred days. host: how did president obama's first hundred days go? guest: president obama's first hundred days went fairly smoothly. remember, obama's first hundred days were really focused on the great recession. he had to do a relief bill. in hindsight, there are people who think that he did not go big enough, that he prolonged the recession longer than it needed to be by not going big enough. he held it to under $1 trillion . it was good, but in retrospect, people think he should have gone bigger. you can see that reflected in biden's presidency. biden is simply going big. he may not end up with everything he has asked for, but he is going big early on. some of that is a reflection on the fact that when the president he served held back, that may have been a mistake. host: terry in tennessee, republican. caller: in the firs

joe biden or barack obama? barack obama i think beat him by 12 or 15 points, which when you look at their legislation, there's no comparison at this point. if you landed on earth and said, who is the more progressive of the two, if you look at what they've done in the first hundred days is joe biden. when you look at objective strategy, tone and manner, that's why he's getting it done. when you want to get something dramatic done, you don't scream, you whisper. and i think his tone has been so pitch perfect. >> joe biden held a drive-in rally yesterday in duluth, georgia. joining us now, the chairman of the democratic national committee, jamie harrison who was with the president yesterday. good to see you this morning. let's get your snapshot of these first 100 days from president biden. what he's done, what he's proposing to do, and the ambitious agenda that he's laid out. >> well, thank you so much for having me, willie. listen. it is so refreshing to be able to go to bed at night and wake up in the morning a

the russians were trying to damage then candidate joe biden ahead of the 2020 election. joining us now, cnn senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andy mccabe. andy, these defensive intelligence briefings that were given to rudy giuliani and then ron johnson, how big of a deal is this? what does it tell you? giuliani and johnson are trying to dismiss it as not a thing. >> it is a thing. one, if the fbi sits someone down to give them a briefing, they're essentially telling them they think they've been targeted by a hostile intelligence service. they don't do that without a lot of very clear information that indicates that's going on. this isn't just something they do as, you know, maybe a just-in-case sort of measure. they only do it when it indicates it's necessary. the second thing is once giving a briefing is seeing how a person reacts after the fact. most will curtail their activities or cut off their contact with the person or persons in question. if you don't do that, it really sends a very strong message to the investigators that now that you

joe biden listened to us. he and his administration is putting our country back on track. the american rescue plan has already changed the course of the pandemic in georgia. it is bringing financial help to families that desperately needed. it's getting businesses like mine -- giving businesses like mine a chance at success and fulfilling the american dream. more and more are getting vaccinated every day, and we are seeing communities again start to thrive. but on top of all that, the first 100 days of the biden administration have shown that we have true moral leadership in the white house again. [cars honking] [cheering] it was a little over a month ago 16 asian american women were murdered and attacked on asian owned businesses here in atlanta. our community was devastated. we were angry. we were scared. but through strong moral leadership, joe biden and kamala harris stopped what they were doing and came down to atlanta and met with the leaders of our community. they shared in our grief and listened to our concerns, they committed to fighting the rising hatred against

giuliani believed she had been blocking his effort to dig up dirt on joe and hunter biden. they are looking into his communications with ukrainian and american officials leading up to her firing. >> it was a focus of former president trump's first impeachment and that's one of the scandals swirling around giuliani who was also involved in trump's other impeachment and could face charges for his role peddling election lies in georgia and inciting the capitol mob. when they look into this, this now opens up everything, right? officials -- the fbi can look at everything here what they find on this material. >> sure. and i think that there's a lot to unpack here for rudy giuliani but the big question is who is he working for? he says he never represented a ukrainian before the united states government. he's saying that but he knows because it would be illegal unless he had registered as a foreign lobbying agent with the justice department, something he didn't do. we also know of course he was the president's lawyer then. he's working for trump. so the question is who exactly is

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

. >> reporter: and on president joe biden's 100th day in office there would be no rest. biden fresh off his first prime time address to congress marking the milestone moment by hitting the road, touching down today in georgia the first in a series of trips over the next ten days as the white house tries to shape its next 100 days. biden has proposed more than $6 trillion in new spending, his latest $1.8 trillion proposal now on the table, laying out transformative changes to education and the social safety net for families. >> my fellow americans, trickle down -- trickle down economics has never worked and it's time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out. >> and already drawing strong gop opposition. >> even more taxing, even more spending to put washington even more in the middle of your life from the cradle to college. >> reporter: but with the narrow west of majorities it's democrats the white house is keeping the closest eye on with crucial moderate senator joe manchin telling manu raju he's reviewing the proposal but its scale is in his words a lot.

>> people elected joe biden to handle the coronavirus but taken the covid response as an excuse to ram through a partisan agenda. even political fact found biden's covid bill, only 10% of spending is directed to mitigating covid 19. it was a partisan wish list tram through emergency relief and that is emblematic of his approach to the crisis. he used it as an opportunity and that is not unifying but political and politicians at their worst. todd: not a lot of agreement between the two, we will have you back to talk about that. thank you very much. >> missing california mother turns 40 tomorrow. her birthday approaching with no sign of the missing mother of 3, disappeared without a trace four months ago. she made an appointment with the attorney the day before she disappeared. divorcing her husband. police do not consider have a suspect despite is not cooperating with the investigation. stay tuned to join us with the latest developments. reality tv star josh tucker is behind bars, he was arrested yesterday, charges are unclear. in 2019 the dealership was rated by homeland security in co

biden my mind is joe biden has always always been a consensus democrat he will basically be where the democratic party is kind of wherever it goes and so in that in that sense i agree with liz it does not surprise me greatly that this is where he has ended up i was telling a lot of people in kind of intradermal craddick party discussions you know during the primaries that that this is this is where i thought that you know where i thought that he would be look there's some obvious things with joe biden look joe biden is old he's an old white catholic man who has a very kind of genie all personality even people who are trying to demonize him now a hard time getting past that barack obama was a young black man with a foreign sounding name rooted in arabic. is a very different people right it's not surprising to me at all that that that things you know he is a different person american politics reacts to those 2 different kinds of people differently i think that that's just you know that that is just obvious the other thing is and this is one of those examples of sometimes a flawed person

joe biden's nearly 50 years in his political career. he has never been particularly on the leading edge of the left of his party. eccentric through and through, or deal maker and a glad-hand. he's the guy who walked down from the podium last night, started shaking hands and asked a lawmaker, how is your mom? give you my love. and he was also the guy who laid out the most ambitious democratic agenda for robust government safety net in generations, probably since lyndon johnson proposed medicare. not only was there no shadow boxing with ronald reagan, there is no real apology. there is no defensiveness. he was on the offensive. >> my fellow americans, trickle down. trickle down economics has never worked. it's time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out. >> big part of biden ship has to do with what's happening in american life, particularly since that financial crash which i think discredited certain type of fetishism. we have the rise year after year of killed it'll age levels -- fighting battles that have been fought an

now, joe biden, is the american jobs bill. it's amazing that it took that long to describe this kind of legislation. >> well, ultimately, a climate bill. the kind of climate bill that joe biden is proposing is going to be the greatest blue-collar, job creation engine in our country into generations. carpenters, electrician, its roof or's, that is who will be installing the solar's, the wind, the electric vehicles, the plug in hybrids. the battery storage technologies. we have in every building across the country to the highest energy standards all blue collar workers. ultimately, joe biden ayes right on the message. that's what it's all about. just like all the rest of us, he is targeting it. not at the ridge, but at those who have suffered in our society, wondering whether or not there will be a brighter future. the climate bill that joe biden is proposing, is that job creation engine. >> he did speak to director of voters and workers last night and said some of you are wondering, is this bill for me, or does it leave me out?

joe biden spent decades in the u.s. congress as a senator. he was back with an ambitious program that could see him becoming a transformational u.s. president. good to be back. he began by drawing attention to the historic fact that for the 1st time ever the 2 people behind him where women madam speaker. madam vice president i. know you measure this. has never said those words from this podium no president ever said those words. then a grim summary of his 1st 100 days combined with a note of optimism 100 days since i took the oath of office left in my hand off our family bible and heritage nation we all did it was in crisis the worst pandemic of the century the worst economic crisis since the great depression the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war now after just 100 days i can report to the nation america is on the move again. offering a wide ranging vision of jobs prosperity and a new big government with big spending plans biden said he would pay for it all with higher taxes on corporations and the super rich continuous cycle
