the state has not along's tree of flipping against the party that controls the white house in congress. in comment, president george w. bush, won virginia by eight points, only for democrats tim kaine to win the gubernatorial race by five points. what was seen in the national committee comey to, -- and the disastrous handling of hurricane christina. the most visceral backlash came into thousand, i'd that's after democrats claim thousand 2008 elections including barack obama winning virginia by six points. which stunned a whole lot of observers. and then just a year later, following, year bob mcdonald went on to become governor of virginia defeating his opponent by a whopping 17 points. that's a 23 point swinging points in just one year. and to put it mildly, this was seen as very bad news for democrats. just listen to how nbc opened its nightly news broadcast the day after the election. >> good evening, a year ago, we were talking about a sea change in american politics. tonight we are reporting a small change which could also be anonymous development for the year old obama administrat

rachel: peter doocy joins us live outside the white house with more. peter? pete: good morning. what i remember about that first job. the first paycheck, you get it and you look, a lot of it was missing because of tasks. and so that is the tie-in. yes. that is the tie-in here. because the president's whole thing is he wants to raise taxes on people in -- who work on wall street and don't live in scranton. he says he would never raise taxes on anybody making less than $400,000 a year. there is new data to suggest that his plans are not the way to do that. it is from the nonpartisan tax polling center. they analyzed the build back better plan and they found it would raise taxes 20% to 30% on the middle class in 2022 alone, which means that the president's repeated promises may have been off base. many. >> the cost of the build back better bill in terms of adding to the deficit is zero. best of all terms of adding to the deficit is zero, zero. zero. >> it is zero price tag on the debt. it's all paid for. it's all paid for. peter: add that to real inflation concerns fuel up 50% last

typically the party of not the white house has a better night in the midterms. they have headwinds of their own making come of the landscape, and historica all kind of conspiring against the fate of the political winds for joe biden. can he turn the momentum? good job numbers today would've been helpful before the election. if that's something that can help turn the corner, that may be useful for the president. but there are real lessons for the biden white house to be learned from this election. will they listen and will they change some of the strategy, on how they talk about some of these issues? that's what we ll be watching. >> that's a critical question. i also question the president wednesday about how democrats plan to counter the culture war strategy used successfully by the gop. >> what your message for democratic voters, especially black voters, who need republicans running on race, education, lying about critical race theory, worried that democrats don't have an effective would've pushed back on that -- an effective way to push back on that? >> speak

he's still got to get that other element, but the house leadership and white house are both confident they're going to get that through the house this week and the senate sometime before the end of the year. so if you get on a little bit of a roll, and you're able to stop the story line of incompetent democrats bickering with one another, and democrats would then like to turn to going after the republicans for the 2022 midterms. >> they need to sell this product, right? they need to sell it. the president is going out to do that. there's always lag time, of course, with infrastructure projects and the like, but he needs to make it clear to people what is going to be delivered, even as they wait for it to be delivered. >> that's right. he is going to try to make that case. now, it is a difficult environment for him to break through in a significant way. even a successful sales job is not going to make his poll numbers go from where they are now in the low 40s up to the low 50s where they were before, in part because the programs rollout over time, and, in part, the dominant economic st

. >> and kristen welker, how's the white house spunning the outlook now? they have a tough challenge in the senate but noticed congresswoman jayapal with rachel saying we have pre-conferenced this. only thing that joe manchin did not agree to is family leave and we have hopes for that but congressional people, leadership telling me that whatever they can get they get. this is a deal that the progressives won't not play ball and that they think it is pre-conference and the senate was consulted and with the white house and that this has been precleared. is that too hopeful? >> reporter: look. you have top senators who are telling me as you point out this was all but agreed to and part of why progressives agreed to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. because there was that agreement essentially to move forward on build back better including in the senate once the cbo score came out and you have joe manchin not responding yesterday directly when asked what his spet is on the cbo numbers and whether that hinder his ability to support this bill. so we'll ha

steve: from the white house podium the white house was asked whether or not the president would go out to visit and they said that their hearts are broken but at this point there are no plans for the president. brian: because it's such a big footprint. it's going to be very upsetting to the community because i have such community that has to come with him. steve: although he did go to kenosha. ainsley: it's a big republican area we are told by some of the guests we had on that day. did you see the candles and all the flowers and the memorial was there that they had at the veterans park and they had those beautiful crosses with the hearts in the middle of them. brian: big day. ainsley: i thought about them thanksgiving. brian: big days enes kanter speaking out about china and oppression and what they have done to tibet and museums and hong kong and what they continue takes on his league as well as lebron james. ainsley: turkey revoking his passport. brian: don't come back your family under house arrest and not allowed to live their life or work their occupations. he made it clear last w

where the white house wants him to be. despite months of painstaking negotiations to court him behind this bill. now, that is uncertain. what happens to larger bill is uncertain. separately, the infrastructure bill seems more and more likely to become law and potentially within days. that's because the progressives in the house have now indicated that they will not hold that bill hostage and demand that manchin and kyrsten sinema both say that they will support the larger plan. they are saying let joe biden deal with manchin and sinema. and instead, once the negotiations are done over the larger bill, as long as voting -- voted on at the same time as the infrastructure bill, that will be enough for us to say, okay, and green light it. essentially, making -- ensuring that that bill -- $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill -- could become law. at the same time, manchin is getting criticized including from senator bernie sanders of vermont who said to us earlier today, joe manchin's concern about the debt. why not look at the inf

how bad are the polls for the white house and is there any way to get the numbers to move north? termites product panel, senior editor christopher bedford. we also got fox news political analyst, my favorite people here, good to see you back, one for liam's. author of the liberal invasion of red state america, walk on, everyone. chris, i will start with you. what strikes you as being the worst -- i think polls are fascinating because sometimes you could take them with a grain of salt especially outliers and sometimes polls are all over the place, concentrating in the wrong direction. 64% of respondents to the pole and usa today is not exactly a conservative one saying they don't want joe biden to run again. >> he's reaching bush second term in popularity but generally disastrous and we have had divisive presidents before all presidents are partisan but president barack obama was divisive and set strong feelings for and against him. when he rested all obamacare, which allowed for publicans have a problem with a lot of other people felt they impacted them in a good way for gave the

look, you were in the bush white house, i covered the reagan white house, i do not know that cabinet meetings mean that much. so often, this is pretty important cabinet and you see people like buttigieg taking a forward position, jennifer grandam, i don't know if cabinet meetings are that important, not much gets covered by the cabinet, it is president and staff dealing with individual cabinet members or people in particular domestic or international sector. >> bill: based on the list on the wall, chris, this cabinet meeting could go for days. one more thing i want to add, late last night, the tax policy center, they put out a number on whether or not you would get a tax cut on the build back better plan. "taking into account all major tax provisions roughly 20 to 30% of middle income households would pay more in taxes come year 2022," that is part of this discussion. see you on sunday. >> chris: are you going to tell who is on the show? >> bill: dr. vivek murthy and texas ag ken paxton. >> chris: see you then, guy. >> dana: biden administration is looking to give terry mcauliffe a n

larry, you've heard janet yellen, the white house all say that they're still not convinced they have an inflation problem, it's temporary. how do you respond? >> look, they forecasted inflation would be 2% this year in the president's budget. it's three times that. they said in the summertime after they had been initially wrong that inflation would be back to normal by the end of the year. then they said early in the fall that inflation would subside early next year. now they're saying that it's going to subside in the second half of next year. sooner or later i'm sure it will subside, but my judgment is given the inflation momentum that has built up, that it's going to take some significant policy adjustment or some unfortunate accident that slows the economy before inflation gets back to the 2% range. >> what do you mean when you say a kind of dramatic, significant policy action? are you thinking of something sort of like what paul volcker had to do to break the back of inflation in the early 1980s? >> we're not talking about the kind of interest rates that paul volcker engineered,

the white house will start the infrastructure package right away. democrats had been criticized for their lack of promotion after passing the rescue act earlier this year. joining us now, white house reporter for "the washington post," tyler page. tyler, great to see you. you've been following this as closely as anyone. it took a while, but it's done. president biden got a win. take us behind the scenes, will you, how the west wing managed light last week, and what role the president played himself. >> yeah. so the president was heavily involved as infrastructure talks made its way to final passage over the end of the last week as it became clear the deadline was approached, as the house was going on recess. many members were heading to glasgow for the climate conference. they made it clear if they wanted to pass the infrastructure bill and larger social spending bill, the build back better act, they'd have to move quite expeditiously on this. in the end it became a conflict over which bill would be first and how prose depressive the people would le

to edward lawrence whose live at the white house, waiting as the drips of the headlines come out of the meeting. reporter: in fact, the president canceled his comments about this meeting because he wanted to spend more time with the ceo 's and they're still continuing. most of those ceo's are here in- person, we have a list of the number of companies here look at this list, ceo of best buy, samsung, mattel, etsy, kroger and in the meeting the president of food lion says that their supply chain has been robust. >> we started with an immense amount of planning to be ready for the business and for customers to be able to buy what they need at our stores and we worked very early with our vendor partners to get clear on our forecast for the business. reporter: she said they worked hard with their vendors to plan ahead and get clear forecasts. now, it has taken time to get the bipartisan infrastructure money out and working. that'll likely be next year sometime. the president, though, still trying to say he can grow the economy. >> early estimates are that black friday sales were up nearly a

then they worked with the white house. instead of the white house saying i'm sorry, you can't influence us and we can't interfear with you. >> jesse: they had their paws on it. >> instead they colluded with the white house. found collusion with the white house. and they said, you know, we need specific examples. they didn't say shut this down. don't target parents as quote domestic terrorists they said give us specific examples. they came back with that the majority do not constitute criminal activity at all. >> jesse: only one actual hard core threat in that whole letter. >> sure. and law enforcement can take care of that weaponizing the fbi is crazy. now merrick garland testified to congress on october 21st. he made it seem this would never happen. parents would never -- domestic. >> jesse: looks like he lied to congress. >> lied to congress they since apologized. the left wing group apology devised on behalf of the doj. we haven't heard from the doj yet. the maker garland the chief law enforcement officer he has got to

real quick on your former house colleague, white house chief of staff former chief of staff mark meadows potentially facing criminal contempt of congress. >> this is so ridiculous. mark meadows didn't do one thing wrong. he's a good man who served our country and was the best chief of staff you could have. the idea they will do this-- talk about having a chilling impact on the top advisor of the president of the united states going forward what this means, it's frightening where they want to go. but, this is where the democrats are. they are focused so much on this january 6, commission because maria, what else are they going to talk about? i mean, they are going to talk about inflation, the chaos on our borders, are they going to talk about the price of energy where we went from energy independence were now the president is begging opec to increase production? now they are going on at 200 year presidents essay in the top advisor to the president has to come in and testify? it's as wrong as it gets. maria: a really troubling times right now, congressman. thank you. we will keep watching

we're waiting to hear back from the white house. the very first announcement about this day just said the first family will stay at the home of their dear friend david rubinstein as they have done previously. it is his 45th year on nantucket. it started when joe and jill first got together and decided to come to nantucket as a way to avoiding competing family holiday invitations. it is full of biden stories from years past details of where the first family will get their dinner tonight. fairgrounds cooking for joe, jill and kids for 20 years. critics are quick to slam biden for what is seen as a lavish trip amid soaring inflation and crippling gas prices. >> he will be eating lobster and living it up high on the hog. the rest of us will be paying more for everything that jim just said. they have to continue to enforce these policies that are going to cause inflation to keep growing. everything from screwed up supply chain to they've killed the energy sector. >> today the president and first lady are not visiting the troops that we k

this was manufactured to propel joe biden into the white house. and tear down the white house supremacy in this country, whatever that means. but, like they have done in the past with other cases similar to this raced-based shootings, this is not going to propel that agenda forward. the american people saw this trial. they saw it live. they saw the videos. they heard of the witness testimony. they heard from the actual defendant. and they saw how the media was misinforming them in realtime. almost live for the first time sensing the misinformation flowing over their face. and the jury made the right call. and i don't see how this galvanizes the left wing agenda at all. i think it really sets it back very far. >> no, you are absolutely right. this was jesse jussie smollett on steroids. people are getting tired. they are sick of it. after the virginia elections and this popular backlash against the woke, people have had enough. i think that the left has no idea of the anger they have unleashed and people are sick of it because this was such a farce.

they want to lose more house in the house and senate and more in the and perhaps the white house in 2024. we have to work together. big programs have already gone to the wayside. one of which senator sanders will not let go of you have 15 democrats very vulnerable in the promised lower drug prices and something manchin doesn't like and sanders requires and he definitely heads the progressive caucus. >> bret: mark, the president is facing pretty bad poll numbers in recent days. you look at nbc poll his approval stands at 42% approval. disapprove 54%. on the eternals of that poll all kinds of questions where republicans are really up. if the marist poll election confidence better chance of winning 2024, biden at 36%. someone someone else at 44%. here's the president talking about polls this weekend. >> polls have going to up and up and down. look at overrer president. same thing happened. >> that's why i ran. i didn't run to determine how well i'm going to do in the polls. i said that i would make sure that we were in a position where we dealt with climate change, where we moved in a direc

he was no longer a paid adviser to the white house. now, the former president, his legal team, are saying what they say is that it doesn't matter, that the president, former president, can make anyone his adviser, it doesn't have to be someone inside the government. i think that is one of the things that the lawyers in this building and other at the u.s. attorney's office down the street are looking at. trying to figure out, you know, if they are going to enforce the subpoena, that this referral from the committee, whether this is something that can stand up in court. i think that there is a lot of frustration, you can see it on twitter and some of the criticism that you hear of the attorney general and justice department, you can see that there is a lot of criticism from democrats about why it is taking so long. but, you know, people here tell me that part of the issue is that they want to make sure that when they bring this, if they bring this, that it is something that will stand the test of time. they know that it will be dissected

the white house now is backing off. it first said to all government contractors if your workers are not vaccinated no job for them and no testing for them either as a option. white house reportedly saying up to government contractors how you deal with your workers who don't want to get vaccinated. sounds like the white house is afraid of companies dropping their government contracts here, what do you say? >> yeah, i urged the white house and president biden to put a pause on this mandate because they're seeing the effects and we talked about red flags popping up all over and the worst is yet to come. it was interesting, you said the natural immunity might only last 16 months. where did the number come from? this started 16 months ago, we haven't had 30 months, or five years whether the immunity doesn't last. we know the vaccine immunity doesn't last. study out "wall street journal" forbes, picked up, studies say vaccines are better than natural immunity. they used a study of people vaccinated three to six months. it wan

they would invite larry summers to the white house to give the cabinet and senior staff a tutorial in basic economics. last week the "new york times" described the build back better as filled with budget gimmicks and the price tag is closer to 4 trillion dollars. it's simple. printing and borrowing money and flooding the economy with it will guarantee that inflation only gets worse. biden's team don't care. they are not interested in solving problems. to them it's always about controlling the narrative. in the hill today quoted a democratic donor telling the white house to get if front of the issue and don't let republicans run this narrative and the white house launched a media blitz to stem the political bleeding but again get it wrong. biden and his team don't have a political problem. they don't have a narrative problem. they have a substantative problem. their policy are not working -- people are incapable of predicting how the u.s. works. the voters, they seem to understand. because they live in the real world that rick mentioned earlier in the "angle." they have to pay actual b

>> the race to the white house has not been called for pennsylvania. >> confusing pennsylvania is going to be. >> president trump is still leading in that state by about 1-08 thousand votes. >> it wasn't a clear winner. it left everybody worried and stressed. >> philadelphia became ground zero. the convention center where the votes were being counted, crowds were gathering outside. trump supporters outside. biden supporters. they were facing off across the street. >> people dressing up as the constitution, as mailboxes, holding signs saying we the people. progressive, the slight conservative america in one place literally these two streets outside the philly convention center. trump's legal team turn up at the philly convention center. pam goes to address the count and the count every vote protest across the street turn up the music really, really loud. ♪♪ so you cannot hear a word that pam says because it's completely overwhelmed by the sounds of beyonce. >> everybody was fighting at each other. every post and tweet and instagram you saw, people were arguing and it just was very un

>> reporter:ss lyndsey, you'll e the white house really try to turn the narrator around. you show the president's job approval rating ticking down to 41%. in this poll, seven in ten americans say the president hasn't accomplished much in his first year in heoffice. thet president tomorrow will b really checking off two major campaign pledging delivered on. one is ade bipartisan piece of legislation. remember how much he promised to tryh to bring the country together to work with republicans. there will be republicans and democrats on the south lawn tomorrow for the signing ceremony. the other is, finally, as he's putting it, infrastructure week. he promised a big economic agenda to try to pass in the congress. as president, he's getting one piece of that tomorrow and will be hitting the road as well to try to highlight some of the specific pieces. tuesday, he'll be going to new hampshire to talk about bridge work thatir will be done there a bridge that's been rated as substandard in new hampshire. wednesday, he'll be going to a gm vehicle plant in michigan, talking about

the white house has put out a fact sheet showing the benefits to your state of wyoming. i want to show it to our audience right now. they say $1.8 billion for highways, $225 million for bridge replacement and repairs. $100 million for broadband. $335 million for water infrastructure, and $72 million for airports. why did you vote against a bill that provides so many benefits to your state? >> well, you know, i was one of the original negotiators at the white house with president biden, and ultimately i voted against it because they did use a lot of budget gimmicks and they are adding $256 billion to the debt, and some of the issues in there in terms of energy i think is going to make energy even more expensive, and i think it's going to make the grid less reliable. then of course, the big thing is they handcuffed this infrastructure bill to this big, massive tax and spending bill which every republican is united in our efforts to drive a stake through the heart of this effort which the democrats are pushing because they are so addicted to taxing and spending. >> finally,

he was that guy they sent over from the white house to try to negotiate a final deal. if you want to know who runs the place behind the scenes for joe biden it is susan rice and brian dietz he is deeply tied into blackrock. this is not a coincidence. steve: they are all like that. we talk many times about steve but that is a brilliant they are all connected and the china thing is so pervasive because steve originally did the ideal back in the clinton era to get china into the beauty of. it really monster them, this china thing. >> brian dietz ways in charge of global sustainability project he is helping in china now running the white house you can tell me that brian doesn't have a father for place i will go get employed i have in the past enable make me rich. it's all about china. and that needs to be exposed. they don't get confirmed by the senate. steve: the other connection as i mentioned earlier is that corporate america for their climate step at the same type of nonsense brian dietz was part of somali have you looking ahead to tuesday a big election in virginia wh

this is a quick action taken from the white house. this comes after the u.k. and several countries restricted travel from south africa and neighboring nations. dr. fauci said that the u.s. was speaking to south africa to see if the travel restrictions were necessary. they said they examined how quickly the variant is spreading and how it could evade protections from vaccines. we're not told what kind of information they received. but actions indicate the feedback that they got was worthy of taking this step. dr. fauci said there's no indication that the new variant is already in the u.s. listen. >> you know, of course, anything is possible. we don't know that. there's no indication that it is right now. it seemed to have restricted. there were some cases that originated in south africa and went to botswana. people traveled and found out they were infections. there's a lot of travel. >> now, according to reports, the new variant has an unusual constellation of mutations. on the proteins that helps the virus create an entry point, the new variant has ten mutatio

the white house hasn't shown that maturity. they haven't walked anything back. they pointed out that he was in a picture with a member of the proud boys. instead of calling him a white supremacist. >> kyle is more mature than anyone who runs this country that includes joe biden. it's hard for us to accept it because we don't like him but we at least think is going to be people interested in helping the country. we have a bunch of children who run the country. joe biden is a child. these people, they have the emotional maturity of an 8-year-old. in the u.s. politician, especially one with the huge national stage, to call someone who wasn't even on trolley at a white supremacist. like tucker pointed out, that's a big deal. it's not a good thing to be a white premises. if you're going to let me that charging and but you better be sure of it but it shows the idiots we have will run this country and that's so scary. our government is as reliable as mexican tapwater. >> brian: he called out the fbi, his former attorneys who sold him down the river. he has not been tre

resignations in any white house are a thing, they are most definitely a thing in the trump white house which went through multiple communications directors. it would be a great trivia question. the mooch lasted about as long as this segment. anthony scaramucci. what do you have to do? he barely speaks to the press, doesn't do one on one interviews, for months we haven't seen a president take real questions at a solo press conference. so that's what we're dealing with at this point. so why resign when basically your job is to tell the president to run away from reporters as quickly as possible because he doesn't really want to talk to them nor do they want him to talk to the press at this point because there's a lot of things he can't simply defend on his own without a teleprompter. carley: unless they were pushed out because the administration is blaming them. you never know. there is speculation that pete buttigieg could maybe replace vice president kamala harris because her poll numbers are so low. he was asked about that very thing yesterday. take a listen to his reaction. watch thi

the white house has repeatedly made clear they would like to. they think he is not the man for the job. but the way it's structured, it's not the president who appoints that person. it's the post office board of governors who hires and fires. the president puts people on the board of governors but he can't directly do what they do. today, on top of everything else that happened today in the news, today in a surprise move, president biden made the changes to the postal board that apparently are finally going to clear the way to getting rid of that guy. "the washington post" broke the news this afternoon, explaining it in i think the clearest terms. they said, quote, president biden on friday, today, announced plans to nominate two new officials to the u.s. postal service's governing board replacing key allies of louis dejoy. the move was a surprise to postal officials and even to members of congress according to three people with knowledge of the matter. the move casts doubt on louis dejoy's future at the postal service and potentially gives the

we heard in a readout from the white house afterwards that dr. fauci told the president what we heard him say publicly, it will take a couple of weeks before we know the full picture, how transmissible it is and how the vaccines hold up to it but the vaccines should provide a degree of protection against the new variant. what the white house is likely to do is talk about the importance of doing what they were already stressing the american people needed to do, get your boosters, if you're able to. if you haven't yet, get vaccinated if haven't yet and at a time to get the message across for those eligible for boosters, perhaps this is a moment to remind americans of the urgency of doing so. but we're also going to see something that we don't see often at the white house, we're going to see two different sets of remarks from the president at the white house. yes, this morning talking about the coronavirus. but later today after a meeting with ceo's from the top retailers, dealing with some of the economic issues, this is a white house that wants to

peter doocy is at the white house with what the biden team is saying about that today versus what the president said yesterday. but we begin with congressional correspondent chad pergram on capitol hill with where things stand at this minute with the spending legislation. good evening, chad. >> good evening, bret. democrats are stuck one senior democratic leadership aide described this as a, quote, blank show and that's not the term they used. this could mean the house doesn't vote any time soon. house speaker nancy pelosi does not go to the floor and lose. if she had the votes, the speaker would have called the vote. >> do you expect the vote tonight and is it possible that you might just vote on the infrastructure bill considering everybody seems to be bought in and saying it's ready for a vote? >> no. >> what are the big hurdles you have to overcome. >> i will let you know as soon as i wish to. >> the hurdles are the math. pelosi only has a 3 vote margin in the house. moderate democrats demand a final cbo score on how much the bill would actually cost and more time to read it one h

called on the white house to take action. wow, how about that tweet, guys? carley: shut up and dribble. ing. pete: big boss is he talk about chairman xi in china. lawrence: they didn't want to be involved in politics but. fair for kanter to be involved to. say what he wants to, too. sorry. pete: see him if they allow him. ainsley: carley, we will get a lesson about basketball players. they were telling me about the euro while you were talking. pete: what ask it. ainsley: you can't carry. accept to be carry for just two steps now, carley. it started in europe and that's why they allow it in america. just two steps. the problem is what if you take that third step how do you know when to stop? that's the hard part. pete: this conversation i said a steph curry took a step and then another step and somehow that's legal now too? it was beautiful. lawrence: they always are beautiful. ainsley: are you teaching your boys to euro. pete: i played college basketball and i couldn't euro. my 11-year-old steps through the lane and i'm like that's a travel. ainsley: if you

white house physician dr. kevin o'connor, who has been biden's primary care physician for 13 years, noting that biden's quote ambulatory gait is perceptibly stiffer and less fluid than it was a year or so ago. you can see video here of biden walking out to marine one. this week. dr. o'connor also saying he is looking into the president's quote increasing frequency and severity of throat clearing and coughing while he speaks. outfront now, dr. jonathan reiner, who advised the white house medical team under president george w. bush. so, dr. reiner, just to note here, president biden turns 79 tomorrow. he is the oldest person elect today a first term in u.s. presidential history and this is the most extensive detailing of his health that we have gotten in nearly two years. um, what stands out to you? i mean, i'm mentioning, you know, talking about a perceptibly stiffer gait just in the past year. something the doctor seems to notice a pretty sudden change. also, throat clearing. what stands out to you? >> what st

the white house would not say what the number was. they just said talk to the department of justice and the department of justice won't answer. at the end of the soundbite with peter the first day with the president the president said not gonna happen. okay. what they are not going to happen at that price and the president said not going to happen. when one is it? brian: this is unbelievable. by the way unacceptable. you as at american people should expect more from your white house. i don't care who is in it whether it's eisenhower, trump or bush and now president biden. the one thing we thought is that they were going to be organized and experienced. and might not like their policies or not like their policies but they would know how to run this place. clearly when peter yelled at him that question on the escalator overseas from that moment that his staffers heard that question, if you missed the "wall street journal" story because you were focused on destroying our energy sector with green energy, i understand. you had about two da

i am sure the speaker of the house is frustrated as people at the white house. jonathan lemire, you have actually people saying oh manchin has not agreed to this or that. he and biden shook hands, he won 1.5. biden says i need two. they shook hands. manchin told cnn, he agreed on the 1.75. he agrees generally with the 1.5. i have said along they have been patient. they get something done and they pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill that's been there to be passed for a long time. they're debating the details now. what's the delay? do democrats just want to lose for the next 20 years? what's the delay? why can't they take yes for an answer? >> we are underscoring the levels of distrusts. we have heard from senator manchin, one of the reframes we heard is that we heard from some progressives in the house who says we need an explicit endorsement from sinema and manchin that they'll back the reconciliation package and in order for us to do an official vote on the infrastructure bill. now we are hearing and white house age is growing confidence. we heard from congre

the white house had wednesday it will expand u.s. vaccine manufacturing to produce an additional one billion doses a year. critics call the plan a good first step is that much more needs to be done to end the current pandemic and to stop future outbreaks. oxfam america said in a statement, "manufacturing should be spread around the world especially africa, not limited to the u.s." fewer than 5% of people in low-income countries have received a single dose of a vaccine. white house coronavirus response coordinator said wednesday about 10% of u.s. children aged five to 11 have gotten their first covid shots. he announced another vaccine milestone. >> today we reach the milestone of 80% of americans 12 and older with at least one shot. a make of the number of people hospitalized with covid 19 continues to climb across the u.s. with cases rising in 36 states. nearly 1100 u.s. residents are dying of the disease on average every day. the house has voted to censure republican congressmember paul gosar for posting an animated video on social

. >> kevin: jeff paul tonight, the white house wasting no time in a wing the vertex of the case, and ahmaud arbery's killing witnessed is a devastating reminder of how far we have to go in racial justice in this country and nothing can bring mr. speed arbery back to his family. but those who committed this horrible crime will be punished. as for the vice president kamala harris rode this about the victim "ahmaud arbery was a son, he was a brother, he was a friend. his life had meaning. we will not forget him. we honor him best by continuing the fight for justice." speaking of the department of justice filed federal hate crimes against all three defendants in those charges include attempted kidnapping and interfering with arbery's civil rights and targeted because of his skin. the federal trial against all three defendants and the case will begin in february. in the meantime, we are learning more about how darrell brooks to plow his suv in a holiday parade in waukesha, wisconsin. the initial court appearance and the documents generated by appear to make clear this attack was deliberat

former white house chief of staff mark meadows. the panel has been trying to get meadows to comply after he defied a subpoena, citing trump's claim of executive privilege. today the committee indicated it may be ready to ratchet up pressure. >> we are in the final stages of what we will be doing for these next steps here. but mr. meadows is a notice, and he knows very well what we want and the questions we want to ask to him. and there has been discussion with his legal representatives. and so he just continues to stonewall. and i think we've shown very clearly what happens when individual stonewall. his conversations about stopping a free and fair election, about criticizing and stopping the counting of electoral votes, about his coordination with campaign officials, on private devices that were not turned over. all of those issues are not privilege worthy. and he has some explaining to do. the committees other subpoena or deny, or trump ally steve bannon, is continuing to fight his contempt of congress charges. >> today his lawye

at the white house another weeks bringing a lot of bad news for joe biden. a new cbs news poll shows joe again under water. 56% disapproval rate. they disapprove of the way biden is handling every issue in this country. last week quinnipiac had joe biden at a meager 36% approval. biden didn't know or care. according to jen psaki biden intends to run for reelection this 2024. doesn't look strong enough to make it through the next 3 years. joe biden is everything we have been telling you he is since the election. since before the election. a weak, frail, cognitive mess whose incompetence and radicalism are destroying the country. here is former arkansas governor mike huckabee and former white press secretary. ari fleischer. the white house wants to blame kamala harris more than joe. they are both awful. their policies are awful. unless they change and adopt trump's policies i don't see them fixing any of the problems they are causeing. >> no, they are not going to change. they are dead set on running down an aggressive agenda. in biden governed as a moderate j

stop it, democratic propaganda machine, nbc news, "the atlantic," the white house, stop lying to us. stop picking the scab and trying to divide us by how we look. that was the core message that voters in virginia since last night. the question is, will washington manage to decipher what they have said? unfortunately, the odds of that are not great. remember on his final night of his bitterly fought campaign, terry mcauliffe brought in someone called randi weingarten to speak on his behalf on stage. yes, randi weingarten, a repulsive teachers union hack from new york who has precisely no interest in or connection to the voters of virginia. so what is the message with that? the message is really clear. we don't care about you at all. you play no role in this. this is an inside game. and of course they mean it. they really feel that way. they think it is how they win. through coalitions. you are not part of it. you see this in everything they do. here is a senile president and a vp no one likes. deal with it, america. in the case of virginia, just six weeks ago, a low iq "washington pos

fox news radio and jeff mason washington correspondent for reuters at the white house. guy, let me start with you, by the way you are in studio here which is a new element. >> very exciting. i forgot what this felt like. >> bret: welcome back. baby steps. we are going to get one panelist at a time. >> i'm delighted to be here. what a treat. >> bret: when you look at the poll numbers and see where the president is, what do you take from 30,000 feet? >> the president is extremely unpopular. i mean, to be in the 30's with 21 points under water at this stage in your presidency, that's not a great place to be. and that final number that you flashed up on the screen about sort of enthusiasm about another biden term or another biden run is obviously not great news for him, but let's just say a lot of the these people say nothing we are not into round two of joe biden a lot of them are actually democrats who are not terribly excited about the prospect of nominating him for a second time. so then you start to wonder okay, who would be waiting in the wings potentially who is the

the white house. they were getting their clocks cleaned. it's another $1.2 trillion in spending. it's on top of the trillions in spending we've already seen. as you noted, that is already driving inflation across the economy. the price of food is going up, the price of milk is going up, the price of gasoline is going up, the price of rent and homes and lumbers, everything is going up, and the biden administration is causing it. if unfortunately we saw a handful of house republicans decided to rescue nancy pelosi from the bill crashing on its own. i think that did two things that were really problematic. number one, it did with the biden white house wanted to do, which is change the subject from the shellacking they took in virginia. virginia was a terrific victory, i was there on election night with glenn youngkin. it was a tremendous example of the parents of virginia saying hell note to this radical left-wing approach that said that parents have no role in their kids education. but the house infrast
