this be what you meant in the biden, last question we mention hunter biden autobiography coming out and it's about his personal life and they think a lot of people may be inclined to ride off some of the foreign entanglements as a result of his struggles that he's had in his own life but as you pointed out in your book this is a biden family issue, beyond hunter that his brother frank and his brother james are involved in is not so dissimilar from hunters. >> this is not a story of a guy that has a substance abuse issue who went off the rails, this is a story of a family who systematized self enrichment and corruption through public service, they should try to hide behind the tragic personal problems that hunter biden has and that he is wrestling with. >> we will stay on the story, thank you so much for joining us. >> you are welcome. james: coming up a battle is brewing in the country over the level of herd immunity, needing to fully reopen. our next guest says it's close to the dr. fauci predicts. we will take it up with doctor marty makary next. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ excuse me ma'a

the biden rescue plan does that wish they join us in supporting it. there is also need for money for education. there is $120 billion in this bill for additional education funding k-12 and there has been arguments made on the floor here by the republicans that we just don't need it or they point to data showing that school districts haven't spent the moneyde that provided relief packages. just talk to the principals and teachers in and teachers in her home state about the conclusion could you'll find the money is desperately needed in the money that has been appropriated before ruby spent in an orderly way and not shoved out the window. looking ahead to the entire year and making certain that we have a real school year perhaps the remainder of this year but certainly for next year. illinois needs these funds and america does it when it comes to state and local support i have to tell you we pay a heavy price in our state of illinois and our major cities. we have seen expenseses go up ad we have seen revenue go down and we need help. it's not unreasonab

unfortunately, the biden adminstration has done nothing positive on the refugee program so far. they have not increased the cap, and that is really part of the problem. if there aren't visas, there's not a refugee program, people are going to continue to cross illegally, and that is exactly what we are trying to prevent. a sponsorship model would work great. that is how most immigrants come to this country, either through employer or family sponsorship, primarily family who are immediate family, so your spouse, your parent, your child, or your sibling who can sponsor you. but if it was expanded to allow other americans, other relatives to sponsor you, that is a great way to allow more legal immigration and better options for people seeking safety in this country. host: mickey out of l.a., a democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. i've got a couple of questions and comments. one is that when you watch some of the right-wing, right-leaning news organizations, when you listen to them, when you read the publications, they are all touting the fact that there are people getting

president biden: good afternoon. when i signed the american rescue plan last week, i said help is on the way. this week i can report it's not just on the way, it's here. sooner than people thought possible. over the next 10 days we will reach two giant goals. first is one hundred million shots in people's arms will have been completed within the next 10 days. 100 million checks in people's pockets in the next 100 days. shots in arms and money and pockets. the american rescue plan is already doing what it was designed to do, make a difference in people's everyday lives. and we are just getting started. by the time all the money is distributed, 85% of american households will have gotten a 1004 hundred dollar rescue -- $1400 rescue check. to give one more example, for the average family of two parents and two children making a combined income of $110,000 a year, that will add 5600 dollars for them. $5,600. the plan does a lot more. it extends unemployment insurance for the 11 million americans unemployed, and any who w

open biden. i love it. now more than ever, we need a battle-tested forward-looking leader who will fight for the people. a president with the values experienced in -- and the strategic thinking to bring our nation together and to build a better, fairer world. as president, he's taking us to new heights of inclusion in the success of america. president biden is a leader who is the personification of hope and courage, values, authenticity and integrity. joe biden as president and with democratic majorities in the house and senate, we will deliver both progress -- bold progress for the people. and now it is my privilege to present the 45th president of the united states as my children -- grandchildren would say, open biden. mr. president. president biden: nancy, i love you. there's no one i'd rather work with than you. we've been friends a long time. and your whole family, your daughters and it's just been a great relationship. i think that angie was absolutely correct. you've been the consummate leader. i've

biden signed it just a day ago. the democratic committee isic kicking off a plan to help a crippled nation. >> over 85% of american households will get direct payments of $1,400 per person. >> in fact, the white house says the checks for some americans could come as soon as this weekend. cnn's kaitlan collins is at the white house. william news to many. give a sense what we're about to hear and what the plan is for biden to take his message on the road next week? >> it will be welcome news. really the easiest for people to grasp. they will get the checks if you k qualify. it is $1.9 trillion and why biden will hold and event talking about how to get it implemented. they're picking someone to oversee that because it's a big plan. look for that on monday. i think first this afternoon it's going to be more of a celebration for president biden in the rose garden signing this. only democrats you'll see in attendance given zero republicans voted to actually pass this plan. the white house saying, yes, by camera meeting. b

and chinese diplomats of the biden era the mood is frosty. also discuss our deep concerns with actions by trying to including actions wrong hong kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states economic coercion quarter hours. each of these actions threaten the rules based order that maintains what will stability. in response china brings up racism in the u.s. rejecting any interference in his domestic affairs. our hope is that when talking about universal values or international public opinion the u.s. side will think about whether it feels entitled to say those things because it does not represent the world it only represents the government of the united states. 2 days earlier joe biden made serious accusations against the russian president in a television interview. you think is a killer. for doing so what price must he pay the price is going to pay well you'll see shortly. the u.s. president didn't clarify whether he was alluding to the poisoning of russian opposition leader. the response from moscow was calm. as biden said we know each oth

president joe biden says he's hopeful that by independence day americans will also be able to mark their independence from cove in 19 by celebrating together he was speaking on 1st and a year to the day after the outbreak was classified as a global pandemic and the same day that he signed his $1.00 trillion dollar american rescue plan into law so what will all be using a rose by you. i'm. and this is the. this country can do anything. one republican voted for question is why. these fires back to normal. national. this is the most consequential. actually one of the worst piece of legislation of same past year and. never a good. bet against the american people. also. increasing number of african-american women say they needed to feel safe. and. because we had been targeted. by them to the day while much of the world is still struggling with stubborn coronavirus virus case dumbass u.s. president joe biden says americans could have most of the pandemic behind them by mid summer and that's thanks in part to an accelerated vaccination program with a target date for reaching all adults as being

president joe biden took office. only 4000 venezuelans have fled across the border to colombia after clashes between the venezuelan military and a colombian armed group broke out over the weekend i can officially say that in the shelters where displaced people have taken refuge a humanitarian crisis is developing. well joe biden has given his 1st news conference as u.s. president he announced a new updated goal of administrating 200000000 doses of coronavirus vaccines in his 1st 100 days in office and that doubles his original target biden also warned north korea they would be consequences if it is tensions off the test of the new got it mysa and he said u.s. troops would probably not withdraw from afghanistan by the deadline. biden also pushed back against criticism of his handling of a surge of people looking to mark write to the u.s. from mexico biden said the surge was quote normal for this time a few many families with young children or unaccompanied moniz hoping to climb asylum in the united states and thousand

but because it's hunter biden it will receive a light touch. >> the massive cover-up for the bidens is something we have never witnessed before. it's appalling. i know a lot of gun owners. i don't know anybody who would throw a weapon away in a trash can in a high traffic area like that in the first place. in the second place, i don't know who would lie on a form. the fact you have a clear question about whether hunter biden did lie on the form raises important questions that obviously need to be answered. the most important part of all is here we are in a time that joe biden and democrats are talking unlike they talked ever before about going after law-abiding gun owners and making it harder for them who would never do any of these things to prevent them and curtail their abilities to protect themselves and their families and their neighbors. this is just the way the bidens roll. it's disgusting. we have to get to the bottom of it. the reason why politicians do this, they go for the shiny object and come up with new rules, it's an admission they have failed to enforce all of the laws

and joe biden led the condemnation. now they can't find over 500 sets of those parents and the kids are alone, nowhere to go, nowhere to go. it's criminal. it's criminal, and it makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation. joe biden is also clear that if he were president, the us would help those in need. i would in fact make sure that we immediately surged to the border all those people seeking asylum. they deserve to be heard, that's who we are. and if this wasn't clear enough, he also said this. where a nation says if you want to flee and you are freeing oppression, you should come. nowjoe biden is pesident and he's taking immediate action. we are going to work to undo the moral and national shame of the previous administration, literally, not figuratively, ripped people from the arms of their families, of mothers and fathers, at the border. this all got attention, as did the shift on the unaccompanied children. and the president added to his message. i can say clearly, don't come, d

biden. and we did a great deal of good work to restore america's leadership in the world, to achieve hard-won diplomatic break throughs, like the deal that stopped iran from producing a nuclear weapon and to bring the world together to tackle climate change. our foreign policy fit the moment, as any good strategy should. but this is a different time, so our stranltegy and approach are different. we're not simply picking up where we left off as if the past four years didn't happen. we're looking at the world with fresh eyes. having said that, while the times have changed, some principles are enduring. one is that american leadership and engagement matter. we're hearing this now from our friends. they're glad we're back. whether we like it or not, the world does not organize itself. when the u.s. pulls back, one of two things is likely to happen. either another country tries to take our place, but not in a way that advances our interests and values, or -- maybe just as bad -- no one steps up a

what does joe biden do? he came in and tore up this international agreement with the government of mexico. he has caused last month -- we had 100,000 people intercepted illegally coming into this country. this month we are on park avenue 140,000 people -- on par to have 40 -- to have 140,000 people. the numbers are rising because of the biting demonstrations mistakes. >> for decades republicans have lost copperheads of reform on immigration. they clearly -- everyone here is proud that america is a nation? what are you going to do? >> the premise of your question is not right. we are a nation of immigrants. that is absolutely right. my father came from cuba in 1957. he could not speaking bush. he had $100 in his underwear. we were built by people seeking freedom. there is no nation on earth more generous, more welcoming to immigrants than the u.s. but there is a right way to come. the right ways legally, following the rules, following the rule of law. the wrong way to come is putting children in the custody o

there's no other way to claim it than a biden border crisis. >> reporter: the response from the biden administration was swift. >> we are saying, do not take the dangerous journey now. give us time to build an orderly, safe way to arrive in the united states and make the claims that the law permits you to make. >> it's going to take some time, though, to get those policies in place again. do you have to say quite clearly, don't come? >> yes. i can say quite clearly, don't come over. and the process of getting set up, and it's not going to take a whole long time, is to be able to apply for asylum in place. so don't leave your town or city or community. we're going to make sure we have facilities in those cities and towns run by dhs, and also access with hhs, health and human services, to say, you can apply for asylum from where you are right now. make your case. we'll have people there to determine whether or not you are able to meet the requirement, qualify for asylum. that's the best way to do this. >> let me ask you about governor cuomo of new york. i know you've said you want the i

president biden and also candidate biden would rhetorically say i am not the green new deal, i have my own deal, this is my plan, but kind of progressive supporters and allies of president biden would influence his agenda. climate change, the environment, energy. there is aspects of the green new deal. -- various aspects of the green new deal. it would be interesting to see how this moves forward. i think it is fair to say that biden was probably the most aggressive candidate in a presidential race on climate change, and he has come right out of the gate with the policy and personnel to execute that agenda. we are still very early into this administration, within the first 100 days, but it probably won't be exactly like the green new deal. i think it is fair to say that biden's agenda is inspired by parts of the green new deal, for sure. host: if you want to talk about the biden energy, environmental agenda, have questions on it, now would be a great time to call in. phone lines as usual. democrats, (202) 748-8000. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. this vote ye

here is who else is a union guy -- joe biden. he has said again and again unions build the middle class. that is why his plan for collective bargaining rights is to support the living wage and making sure taxpayer money goes to supporting american-made manufacturing. the men and women of the idw are ready to get to work. retooling our plants and revitalizing our community and the middle class. we are ready to build america back better. it is my pleasure, my honor, to introduce the president of the united states, joe biden. [applause] pres. biden: thank you. mike asked me, and ice said to bobby, my good friend, he asked me that there. he said you ever get nervous? and, he said, because i got up this morning, made breakfast for my kids, i have to meet the president. i said, my, you did a heckuva job. but, i get nervous -- i would get nervous if i had to get up in the middle of the night on the telephone to replace, in the middle of the storm, a connection that knocked out everybody's electricity. that is what would make me nervous.

there are some tough questions ahead for the joe biden them in the nation. and the next steps would be enriching above the 20% level that we are at, also perhaps even more immense than that. they had started to exclude that they could go further there as well. what did the united states do if it's moving down the road toward nuclear weapons. and we saw the president react militarily militarily to an attack in which americans were not killed, presumably he will have to do more. and i don't know what plan beas. it does seem that the president is thinking about this and it's not 2015. they recognize this. but i believe it's canada have joe biden that includes what is there to prevent that. and that means that you are still thinking that it's insignificant to reiterate. and i assume that there are debates about all of this. and that includes concluding this so far so good, the administration is not adequate and what they are doing, they are not getting sanctions released merely to get them to come back to the table, they have made some missteps, but they are spe

the biden administration estimates that four out of five people will be able to find a planet for $10 a month. people with the lowest income and people who receive unemployment compensation may not have to plate -- pay a monthly premium. can save $1000 per month on their monthly premiums. and family of four making $90,000 will see previous decrease by $200 per month. that is real significant saving for hard-working families so thank you madam speaker, so including by legislation in this historic package and making me much money back in the pockets of my constituents. everyone had a gradually hard year and i'm so thankful for your leadership that we were able to build on the affordable care act and deliver on our promise to lower cost for the american people. >> thank you so much. they for having me here, especially during these challenging times we are reminded every single day that americans deserve access to high-quality affordable health care. this is especially -- as a portion of my own childhood without that reality without having access and i still remember that box of bills tha

it's biden, it's biden, it's biden. >> yes, joe biden has been elected the next president of the united states, but, hey, look on the bright side, trump, at least you got to tell an immigrant she has been evicted from her house. senator kamala harris has become the first woman of color to be elected vice president which is pretty big jump from no color ar all. oh, ladies and gentlemen, joe biden did it. ♪ he is our next president. ♪ celebration. >> i want to share this moment with you. >> tucker: man, if you are ara comedian the upside is you get to tell the truth. that's your job. you don't always have to be mean.s but if you find yourself slobbering over the regime inbu charge, sucking up to the most powerful people in the world, you are not doing your job right.ld you are humiliating yourself. you are a toady. sometimes it gets repulsive. here is chelsea handler on at&t's hbo. >> strong and deep sexual feelings i have developed for andrew cuomo.
