biden, say, or the other issues that motivated them in the past? >> yeah, absolutely. i think with a lot of groups that we saw there was a profound authoritarian streak in their politics. i remember noticing this as protests in portland, oregon, when we were following the proud boys several years ago, and there were people wearing shirts paying homage to pen yo shea, the late chilean fascist dictator, or shirts that talked about throwing communists out of helicopters, and i thought this is a different politics and what we are seeing is a multiethnic fascist world view here. >> where did the proud boys originate? >> the proud boys were founded by a guy named gavin mcguiness, who was the founder of one media empire. when they first came on the scene i didn't pay attention to them because i was more interested in more aggressive openly white supremacists outfits, and over time they became the sort of dominant force on the streets, and that was not something that i saw coming from a few years ago. >> how about the boogalo boys, you can see them as an u

i know i'm maryam namazie and london with a quick look at our main stories now president joe biden has reportedly decided to withdraw all american troops from afghanistan by september 11th speaking anonymously u.s. officials have told the reuters news agency the decision will be announced formally on wednesday when it would miss the may 1st deadline for the withdrawal equate with the taliban by the trumpet ministration september the 11th this year is the 20th anniversary of the 911 attacks by al qaeda which that the u.s. invasion of afghanistan and america's longest war can really help it has more on this now from the white house. in terms of this withdrawal it has been a generation since that war began ad and as a result americans have grown weary in a pandemic they feel this is no longer a price tag couldn't they can afford and so 2 there are about 2500 remaining troops we know according to the white house that the pullout could begin right away but should be complete by september 11th of this year now we should also let you know that this is being criticized here in the united state

president joe biden is starting a commission on expanding the supreme court. this comes as the push to add more seats to balance out the conservative majority and the rulings they could have on americans. joining me is jeffrey rosen president of the national constitution center and law professor at g.w. law school. thank you very much for being with us. who has the president recruited to be a part of this commission and what is he hoping to accomplish over the next 180 days. >> it is chaired by bob bauer and christina rodriguez from the yale law school and the purpose according to the white house is to analyze all of the arguments for and against the supreme court reform and to issue a report in six months so they have 180 days. they can take comments from the public and after six months they're supposed to come up with a summary and make recommendations to the president. >> the white house describes it as a bipartisan group of experts and how do we know that they're impartial and have the perception of that to the american public? >> well, it is a balanced gr

. ♪♪ ♪♪ >>> president joe biden is renewing calls for gun reform following the mass shooting at a fedex facility in indianapolis that left eight people dead. nbc's monica alba is joining us from wilmington, delaware. how is the president responding to this latest mass shooting? >> well, he's defending his position quite intensely, alex, saying there's only so much i can do, urging congress to act. he wants lawmakers to consider these bills on gun safety that have passed the house, but are currently stalled in the senate, and he also outlined some of the executive action that he took just a couple of weeks ago saying he has tasked his department of justice and his attorney general with trying to do more and they're currently in the midst of reviewing these rules and regulations on ghost guns, for example, but you really heard the president here quite impassioned and quite outraged at what we've seen from the string of latest mass shootings in the country when he did speak in the rose garden yesterday. take a listen. >> immediately upon us becoming an office having an attorney general i a

that's what joe biden said he was going to do to more than 62,000. and now he's saying that's not going to be possible in the short term. we got a sense from the national security adviser, jake sullivan, who was on the sunday shows this morning really trying to defend the administration's bungled rollout of this policy by trying to push back on the criticism that this was a reversal. take a listen. >> the president wanted to go with this in two steps. the first step was to change the allocation so people in africa could literally get on planes this week. and the second would be to raise the cap as we were fixing the system in its processing. he took the first step this past week. he will take the second step in the weeks ahead. and i think there was some misunderstanding on friday about the import of his decision friday morning, which was focused on the allocation, not on the cap. >> so the white house is arguing because the process is ongoing, there is still time essentially for the president to make this right, but a lot of democrats and groups hav

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?

biden and the senate race won by mark kelly. election officials have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. the accountability project led by kevin mccarthy and his failed bid to censure maxine waters. >> kevin mccarthy is worried about extreme rhetoric from democrats, but where was he when members of his party said -- >> today they have to start kicking ass. >> you can't allow it to just transfer power peacefully and allow joe biden to become our president. >> this is our alamo. >> more bad behavior is what we need. >> joining me now is michelle richy with the policy and communications committee and elizabeth newman for the accountability project who put out that ad and former department of homeland security official. >> what do you make of his attempt to censure congresswoman waters and what do they have to stand on when it comes to inciting violence especially after january 6th? >> yeah, i thought that ad was perfect, elizabeth. so good job on that. i thought it was absolutely phenomenal and shows hypocrisy. mccarthy do

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

stood out to me, percentage of republicans say they disapprove of joe biden's presidency so far. a lot higher than the percentage of democrat whose said it for president donald trump and republican whose said it about former president obama. that tells you a lot where our country is at this particular moment. and the challenge that president joe biden faces in the next 100 days of his presidency where arguably he'll have to face some of these other challenges on issues like immigration, on guns, i'm sure we'll get to in a minute. >> a very united country for sure. ununited country. michael, from a historical perspective, give me a sense how important the first 100 days are as a measure and how does president biden stack up in your mind? >> well, it's not a bad measure, alex. i thought francesca said it well. you know, the thing is that this all comes from early 1933 as you know when franklin roosevelt came in and did a lot of things like, you know, saving the banks and getting people relief and doing things to relieve the suffering of the great depression, and about 100 days in,

joe biden has a majority of support of the american people. he's over 50%, ten points higher than donald trump, but lower historically than his democratic predecessors at this point. two things jump out to me as questions. one, is this just the new normal we live in, the partisan divide, where we're never going to return to seeing 60% numbers for a president in 100 days? that might be the case. the second, though, is the poll that shows over 40% think that joe biden is too liberal and in fact more liberal than barack obama and bill clinton. if that didn't already exist, certainly the right wing news media and republicans are going to make that exist. but that's an interesting thing for the biden administration to keep an eye on, whether he's going to be branded as kind of the bipartisan unifier or if his opponents will successfully brand him as a liberal. >> you make a good point there. relative to the president's infrastructure plan, you've got 59% saying it's a good idea, 21% disagree, 19% don't have an opinion. susan, we saw this with covid

>> well, president joe biden, as much as he said that he wants republican support, he wants bipartisan support, and, of course, his own cabinet members are fanning across the country to try to pitch this on tv and to the american citizens that this is an important bill and important step for the american people, they are hoping that infrastructure, which is popular among the american people, and the economy that is continuing to grow after we have been struggling with the covid economy, but that will help push things over the edge for them. as secretary buttigieg said, they are hoping for republican support. they are -- the administration is -- they seem aware that they have the wind at their back with the economy improving and just with the popularity of fixing roads, fixing bridges, things like that. >> infrastructure is very popular. the fact is that there has been competing messages on this. if you look at the recent poll, it shows the majority of americans support many details of the bill. 45% support president biden's proposal. you have 27% against it. you have 28% who don't real

it might look very different from what president joe biden has been putting forward. >> they may need to adjust it indeed to try to get it passed. thank you very much, amanda golden. >>> joining me now, chief white house correspondent for "the new york times," peter baker. good to see you, my friend. do you think negotiations with republicans could be successful? we know the president plans no invite them to the white house for discussion. will democrats be forced to pass it through reconciliation like they did with the american rescue plan? >> yeah, look, i think they're going to make a show of reaching out to republicans to at least make it look like they do that. i don't think there's much hope that it will go anywhere. i don't think they'll invest a huge amount of energy into it beyond the courtesies. i think they're intent on passing a bill that is almost certainly going to be too large for republicans to swallow. you heard senator blunt, as you just played, saying this is an infrastructure bill. he suggests if you only did 30% of that bill, republicans might jump on board. i don

and that president joe biden called it jim crow in the 21st century. just a few days ago delta airlines, one of the largest companies based in georgia put out a ridiculously mealy-mouthed statement where they dplauszed over the restricting parts of the new law while lording other parts of the bill. quote, the legislation signed this week improved considerably during the legislative process coca-cola also issued a cox s statement that did not outright condemn the legislation. but the backlash to the new law was so severe delta's ceo today released a statement saying and i quote i need to make it crystal clear the final bill is unacceptable and doesn't match delta's values after having timed that with all in the bill coupled with discussions and leaders in the black community it's evident the bill includes provisions that will make it harder for underrepresented voters particularly black voters to exercise their constitutional right to elect their representatives. the entire rationale for this bill was based on a law, there was widespread fraud in 2020 e

. >> today is april 19th, the day president joe biden announced all u.s. adults are eligible to get their coronavirus vaccine. hopefully that will make it easier for the remaining half of american adults to get their shots. then we can start devoting our national resources to vaccinating the entire world as quickly as possible. and we welcome dr. peter hotez, dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor university. dr. hotez, great to have you. i was looking at the numbers, and everyone saw this coming. the biden administration, public health experts, you're going to hit a point where supply is not the constraint. for the first few weeks and months, people are desperately trying to get appointments. now, that's not an issue. now it's getting people to do it. is that where we are right now? >> just about. i mean, remember where we have to go, chris. we have to, based on the high transmissibility of these new variants, the b.1.1.7 variant from the united kingdom. the 1.4.2.9 out of california, we have to vaccinate or else transmission goes up.

biden's standard and saying the manufacturing is going to be what gets this done. all of that is new. the apparatus of obstruction and denial is beginning to collapse. at the end of the day, it's the koch brothers, marathon petroleum and there's not much for the republicans to rally around any longer. >> sometimes you can see the segment as you are doing it and you are like, am i talking myself into something? we went through it. then i talked to you and now i'm convinced of my own thesis, which is a nice feeling that there really is a moment here, there's opportunity. >> the determination in the democratic senate is greater than ever. remember the republicans didn't want cap and trade. the white house and the senate leadership is what took it down and didn't even get it a vote in the senate. we have our own problems from the past. those are over. there is a really solid commitment from joe manchin across the board to solving this. >> all right, senator whitehouse, a leader on this. thank you for your time. >>> i said this before. it's worth repeating. it's still a

biden's standard and saying the manufacturing is would get this done. so all of that is new and the apparatus of obstruction and denial is beginning to collapse, and at the end of the day, it is going to be the marathon petroleum and another crazy dead enders, and at that point i don't think there is much for republicans to rally around any longer. you know oops it's funny, sometimes you can seal this segment as you're doing it. and i say am i talking myself into something, we sort of went through it, and then i talk to you, and now i'm convinced. i'm convinced of my own thesis. which is always a nice feeling, that there really is a moment, here there really is opportunity. senator sheldon of the white house. it was great to talk to you. >> is greater than ever. remember the republicans did not want trade, but the white house in the senate leadership is what took it down, and didn't even get a vote in the senate. we have our own problems, from the past. those are over, there is a really sally commitment right across the board, to solving this. >> senato

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

ezra, you have covered joe biden for a long time. i think anyone who's covered politics, that could be said of, including myself. and, you know, i remember seeing some data visualization at one point about joe biden that was, to me, sort of so representative, which is it showed him through various congresses in the u.s. constantly being in the middle of the senate democratic caucus. like, whatever year it was, joe biden was found in the middle of the senate democratic caucus. how do you understand that part of his career with what we're seeing from him as president now? >> i actually think they're very, very, very related. let me get through a couple things here. number one in virtually every debate inside the democratic party, there was always a faction arguing for more ambition, more radicalism, to do more confrontation and a faction arguing against. joe biden is almost every case arguing against. that includes the obama administration. let's do a big universal health care bill. you're going to get into the public, do something sma

joe biden made the strange choice to pivot hard left. i think he is captive to aoc and elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. the reason the border is unfolding, last year we had the lowest illegal immigration with policies that worked. this year, we have the worst illegal immigration in 20 years, about as dramatic a shift as you can ask for and it occurred when joe biden became president and it occurred because of decisions he made. here's the problem, here's why neither neither one of them wants responsibility for it. consistent with the problems they've made, their radical left-wing base, today tweeting the answer to this is abolish i.c.e. from a shut down eyes altogether and have open borders, that's the answer of the crazy left on its way they are trapped is because there is no solution that stops this wave of humanity, the suffering as long as they take their marching orders from the radical left and they are doing the same thing on this massive tax increase on small businesses they just rolled out, calling it an infrastructure bill

they took a shot at joe biden. i thought that was right on the money. >> john: they said he looks like clint eastwood. >> i thought that was funny! hunter biden material. his life is material. they don't do anything. not going to do that? >> sandra: joe, you have people. put a phone call in! >> i will call them right now. do you know who i am? >> sandra: you know what they say in new york, right?

what bothers me about this is joe biden's judgment. i understand the anxiety of the american people. come home. the jock on -- knock on joe biden's he's always been wrong. we can only hope and pray he got this right. >> sandra: reaction is pouring in. we heard from the left and the right including those on the right mitch mcconnell on the arbitrary date. and inoff of oklahoma. senator rand paul just tweeted out: it's great when we can find places to agree. i am grateful that president biden's is keeping president trump's plan to leave afghanistan. the time is to bring our troops home now or as soon as possible. enough endless wars. are you seeing more bipartisan support than not for this decision? >> well, i don't think this will fall on partisan lines. you cited a few. menendez from new jersey might be critical. we will see. democrats have a history on this issue also of not wanting america to be attacked by terrorists. the stakes here are serious. this is not just a withdrawal from a nation that poses no risk to america. as we saw on

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

the reason why we see the biden border crisis is because joe biden said if you are a kid or a teenager or purport to be a teenager or show up with a kid, we will let you in the country. what did he expect would happen? well, what has happened is we have seen five-fold increase in the month of march this year from where we were last year and the migrants that are showing up at the border. i was there last week. not a single one with whom i spoke. claiming asylum on persecution of the basin of religion, race, ethnicity or the political views. they were coming for a better job. it's not basis for asylum in the laws. >> sandra: your colleague ted cruz joined us yesterday. what he said struck out. we look to see what the administration does next. kamala harris has plans to visit the country to address the root of the problem and why the people want to come here in the first place. there is a crisis at the border today. we asked ted cruz what he will do about it. he said this. i don't have the sound at this point but ted cruz said they cannot fix it. he said because of their ideologies, they

in fact, the most powerful psa of all, joe biden and donald trump saying we got the vaccine. can you imagine how many lives can be saved if both president stood together and said vaccine is safe, covid is not? take it. >> john: some of the trump voters didn't appreciate it. let's listen in. >> specifically the media and its handling of covid and its handling of the vaccine and how you feel it's treated you regarding covid and the vaccine. >> you're in america. they all have their narrative that they're sticking to and they have abided by it. it's like you're going to tell the truth or not. treat us like we're human beings. >> john: what did they say to you, frank? >> said to me the media has to be responsible and listen to the concerns, respect those that don't want to take the vaccine, respect those that are nervous and uncomfortable and give them the facts. that's all the people want, the facts about the vax and then they'll make the right decision themselves. >> john: we appreciate you giving us the facts. thanks, frank. >> good seeing you. >> john: sandra? >> sandra: good

the systemic racism is a stain on our nation's soul. >> did if somebody asked joe biden or kamala harris to name the city, state, governor, or systemic racism exists. it is democratic kool-aid. >> john: i know that you differ from time to time, but do you condemn this idea of the united states as a nation of systemic racism? >> you know, the united states unfortunately has had a history of racism. it exists. i think the problem is we look at racism in a white-black kind of manner. i got to tell you. there are black cops who also have racial animus, and there are white cops. when you look at systemic racism, age does exist. the only thing we can do is to try and some stage in our lifetime to block that out. >> john: topic number two, this is the shooting of the teenager in columbus, ohio, that occurred just before the verdict came down yesterday. when we look at that body cam video, it appears that the young woman is trying to stab another girl on the hood of a car. that is when the officer opens fire. is that the appropriate way to handle this? could this have been handled in a different

frankly, he and joe biden of the brave men and women of law enforcement in apology. this is just one more demonstration of the left's war on police. calling them racist and posting photos online and saying you are next. stadia do you believe that to be the case? dan sake speaking out and injecting racism into this without any actual evidence of that. do you believe this is an administration at war with the police? >> yes, i do, sandra. yesterday, joe biden's mouthpiece immediately jumped to the conclusion that this officer was racist. it is obvious from the video that we have seen that the person who was shot had a knife and was about to stab another person. we should wait until we find the facts. we shouldn't jump to the conclusion and throw around accusations. it is part and parcel of what the biden administration is doing. just yesterday, they announced that they are going to come down on the minneapolis police department like a ton of bricks. this is a police department in which the chief of police and multiple other officers just testified for the prosecution ag

it's the fact that they are fundamentally wrong on policy and that the province of joe biden emma kamala harris was to bring them together. they haven't done that. they have to appease the far left, so the people that are truly in the middle, the people that win and lose elections, they're not going to be happy with the direction because they've done nothing thus far to bring the nation together. you know. >> john: some democrats are not happy with the direction either. here's what he told fox news. "wokeness is a problem and everyone knows it. it's hard to talk to anybody and i talked to lots of people on the democratic party, but they don't want to say it out loud because they will get clobbered or canceled." will this be a problem for the democratic party? >> i find it so interesting that the word woke has been weaponized by so many people who want to take this picture that if you are woke, that means you're violent and your activism. that's not what it means. let's get historical context here. the word woke started in 1940 and it's part of the headline in "the new york times" in 1962

tonight, joe biden is going to propose a trillions more. he is going to propose trillions in additional taxes. if you are working american, your taxes are going up. if these beautiful idaho potato recipes are just side dishes, then i'm not a real idaho potato farmer. genuine idaho potatoes not just a side dish anymore. always look for the grown in idaho seal. >> john: another controversial proposal from the biden administration making news today. the department of education facing major backlash for suggesting a new rule for teaching what critics are calling a dangerous and divisive curriculum, critical race theory. mike has more progress. >> this might sound federal grant money to teach a controversial curriculum from the federal register. an applicant for the program would need to explain how it would teach nicole hannah jones 1619 project and how to be an antiracist in k-12 school curriculums. that includes "the only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimina

joe biden i think quite consciously ms. boring his tone and doesn't make waves or tweak crazy things at night. it is hard to think in the last 100 days of a news headline he has made. i think that is a very deliberate political decision because it masks the most radical left-wing agenda of this country has ever seen. president biden is essentially handed the agenda over to the extreme left to elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and aoc. on taxes, he wants to raise every tax imaginable. he wants to raise individual income tax, he wants to raise corporate income tax and small business tax, capital gains tax, he wants to raise the death tax. to the tune of trillions of dollars and that is to fund the trillions of dollars in new spending he wants to waste. i've been joking, please, nobody told the democrats what comes after $1 trillion. this is extreme and dangerous. >> john: you know, $1 trillion here and $1 trillion there as up to real money. senator good to see you today thank you so much. >> sandra: thank you, senator. >> t

. >> 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

do you worry that joe biden is going to use this as a backdoor for many of these progressive policies that he is promised to so many. >> this is not the green new deal. if you look at the structure, a lot of it doesn't go to clean energy. it's not accurate what steve is saying. 620 billion of it is for transportation which is roads and bridges. of that, 150 is electric vehicle charging stations. 650 of the other billion is for broadband. it's not accurate, the numbers. senator kennedy is flat out wrong. >> sandra: based on everything you just said, aoc is not going to be happy. she wants this to be $10 trillion. >> she is wrong too. >> sandra: we haven't started about talking about how you pay for another $2 trillion. i don't know how we pay for it. senator manchin has weighed in. you can't raise the corporate tax rate to 28% to not hurt all these companies that we originally set out to help. >> i was looking at the numbers today. if we were to pass the biden tax increase to pay for this, the united states would have the highest corporate tax rate in the entire world of the 40 largest
