joe biden is swinging for the fences. you look at this speech, this is a once in a century opportunity to reset the american system. you're talking about a free community college? you're talking about child care. you're talking about family leave. you're talking about the family economics that are on display here will change people's lives in a real way. so i think nobody has really put it together yet. this is a big reveal. you put all the stuff together. you've got the deferred maintenance taking care of for how this country can work for more people. i think it's a big deal. >> evan, you wrote the book on joe biden. are you surprised by the direction he's moving? >> he feels this moment calls as van said for something larger than an ordinary set of policy items. in his inauguration address 99 days ago, he mentioned democracy more than any address in history not only because we were two weeks after the insurrection out capitol. it's because he really sees there is a risk if americans don't believe democracy can deliver f

now joe biden last night, it's just the american jobs bill. it's amazing that it took that long to figure out thousand describe this kind of legislation. >> well, ultimately a climate bill, that kind of climate bill that joe biden is proposing is going to be the greatest blue-collar job creation engine in our country in two generations. carpets, electricians, that is who will be installing the solar and wind and making the all-electric vehicles, the plug-in hybrids, the battery storage technologies. having every building across our country to the highest possible energy standards, all blue-collar workers. and so ultimately joe biden is right on message. this is what it's all about. just like all the rest of his economic plan, he's targeting it, not at the rich, but at those who have suffered in our society wondering whether or not there's going to be a brighter future for them, and the climate bill that joe biden is proposing is that job creation engine. >> he did speak directly to voters and workers last night when he talked about -- some of

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

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

joe biden completely comfortable in his skin. really what stood out to me was the ambitious, almost transformational nature of what he talked about. obviously he had a lot of policy ground to cover given what he inherited, the american carnage really turned over by his predecessor, but when you think about what he was trying to get at, really a transformational approach to changing america, rebuilding and restoring america. there's been a lot of talk in the post-speech analysis about who and what was the model. and i think joe biden himself gave the game away, jonathan in the remarks. he cited one president by name. it was franklin delano roosevelt, and i think that is very much the man and the moment and the model that bidden is going for, very quick and active legislation to set a tone, set a momentum for the country. i thought he laid that out very well tonight in those hour and change for his fist joint session. >> tara, your reaction to the president's speech sm. >> i felt like the president was really making the pitch to ma

but joe biden also showed today a -- just what a capable president he is. people have made a lot of comparisons of joe biden with franklin roosevelt, because of the sweep of what he wants to do to lift people out of poverty, people back to work. but i found myself thinking of harry truman listening to him tonight. just a very plain spoken manner. his appeal to working americans, was i think really quite beautiful and powerful, and resident. and i have to say, i was in the gallery looking down at some of my gop colleagues from the gallery, i thought i would hate to be in their shoes. trying to tell my constituents why i wasn't for paid family or medical leave. why i wasn't for trying to send them a 1400 dollar check. why i wasn't for trying to provide college education free to their kids. i wouldn't want to be defending any of those positions against what the president is offering the country. so i could see why trump feared him, for good reason. and joe biden is proving to be a very good communicator. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you so much for your t

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

but much else about tonight was familiar to joe biden. who of course, attended dozens of these addresses during his 36 years in the u.s. senate. twice delivered part of the democratic response to ronald reagan speeches. here he is. the vice president biden also sat behind barack obama ten times, as he delivered addresses to a joint session of congress. tonight, it was finally joseph r. biden's turn to deliver his own. one of the moments from tonight getting the most attention online right now is texas senator ted cruz. because watching a grown man fall asleep in a seat before 10 pm is both a musing, and i have to say, somewhat really tumbled coach dads everywhere. crews later treated about the moment in his typically odious fashion. hashtag boring but radical. i would not really agree with either of those terms, more erratic all. but i will say this -- cruise is getting at something real here. because joe biden has been in office for so long, and partly, frankly because of his race and his gender. in fact, he looks like almost all previou

but you are hearing from people like senator joe manchin, saying they have questions how big joe biden is trying to go. but he is reasoning that, not in washington, but on the road today here in georgia for this first stop. he's going to pennsylvania tomorrow. he's got several more stops planned for next week, because what they're focusing on is selling it as -- i heard you talking about this transformational moment. they view it that way, but he sees an opening given the pandemic and given the economic disaster that followed that, see thing is a spot where they can succeed in getting a plan like this through with what he envisions. whether or not that happens still remains to be seen. how do american voters feel about this? we saw the polling on the coronavirus relief bill. that relief bill paired with the infrastructure bill and paired with the american families plan is about $6 trillion in spending. that's a whole lot of spending. so i think that is going to be a massive question facing them. but the way joe biden was trying to sell it here tonight, and what we are hearing from offi

other joe biden. >> the only thing about joe biden was to get to the bottom of how luzenko dismissed the case -- >> so you did ask them to look into joe biden? >> of course i did. >> you just said you didn't. >> so he knew that rudy giuliani had copped on television to asking the ukrainians to investigate joe biden. bill barr had every reason to know what ukraine was doing. the justice department leadership that didn't let this fbi investigation go to a judge and see if they had enough reason for a judge to grant a search want, knew exactly what rudy giuliani was doing. >> to the extent that anyone knew exactly what rudy giuliani was doing, bill barr should have known. that man, rudy giuliani, is the gift that keeps on giving from an evidentiary standpoint. you mark that clip that you just played as exhibit 1. in a trial for failing to register as a foreign agent, and importantly it is not just an administrative indicate. we sauce it play out in an impeachment hearing. so, yes, you're right, bill barr knew or should have known exactly what rudy giuliani was doing, because he told chr

now joe biden is bringing us back to the way it usually is. but, you know, you were talking about that, i was remembering that lyndon johnson went to see ex-president truman out in missouri, and truman was very sensitive to being treated like a president even though he was out of office. johnson, as usual, got there late and he said mr. president, i'm sorry i got here late and truman said, if you wanted to be here on time, you would have been here on time. so that's the kind of things that presidents sometimes encounter. >> interesting dynamic there before former presidents. mike memoli, michael beschloss, leigh ann caldwell, thank you so much. >>> we are following breaking news out of new york. fbi executed search warrants for the office and apartment of rudy giuliani, former president trump's lawyer and former new york city mayor. giuliani is expected to be making a statement this hour. it is a major step into the investigation into giuliani's dealings with ukraine. we are awaiting a possible statement, as i mentioned, from giuliani within t

during the campaign, trump and his allies tried to paint joe biden as a socialist. that didn't fit either. he's far more moderate than most of the democrats who also ran for president. there's nothing moderate i will say about the size and import of the programs president biden laid out last night. this is a transformation of government a change in the roles that government would play in individual lives. it is big bold and significant. it should be mentioned on two things here. first of all, he says the stakes are so high, at democracy itself is in the balance. that they need to prove the united states government can do big things and do you make things well, that there for a democracy still works and as a rival to the rising autocracies across the globe like in china. more than that, this huge multi trillion dollar infrastructure and jobs plan, yes, there were no about partisanship last night. some of them, perhaps, the gop lawmakers. the president and his team, they know they don't need them. they don't have any republicans voting for the relief bill. those messa

this morning it might not be joe biden or zee others. how about joe manchin. he's putting himself in the middle of passing the $2 trillion bill. he indicated overnight he's opposed to passing key legislation on strict party votes, that he is alarmed by that process. and since we haven't heard any republican saying they support the white house infrastructure plan just yet, that puts it in serious, serious peril. later this morning the president will announce his first executive actions on guns in response to the latest flurry of mass shootings. >>> meanwhile the united states reporting more than 70,000 new coronavirus cases. hospitalizations climbing to their highest level in a month, and the cdc confirming that the highly contagious variant which was first identified in the united kingdom is now the most common strain of the coronavirus here in the united states. despite that, the cdc director says she believes all children will be back in classrooms by september. let's beginning with jeremy diamond who's live at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: sen

joe biden again, 37 years in the senate. four decades thinking he should be the person delivering the state of the union address or it is not officially a state of the union address. but let's not forget history of tonight with the female speaker of the house and female vice president. that's a big deal. an optic for the country and the world. i do think, this is a competition of ideas. it is a competition of politics. we're sitting here at the end of april 2021. everybody in this town, and this is what america gets annoyed about washington, is already thinking about the mid-term elections. joe biden saying, i told you. i would reverse this vaccine will rollout. we would get vaccines in arms. i told you. now trust me as i want to do more. he's trying to get the american people to buy in. okay, the first 100 days worked. let's continue this approach. senator scott was trying to pull that back. he was saying, oh, no, no, we did some of this stimulus back in the trump administration. and president trump does deserve credit for

his attack on joe biden is that. he will say his speech doesn't accomplish anything, it is terrible leftwing nonsense, say it is attack on the police. tim scott publicly is always a cheerleader for the hard right of the republican party, even if privately he is a reasonable person when it comes to policy. >> appreciate you sticking around. thanks so much. >>> aoc speaks out on progressives and biden's first 100 days. and self proclaimed grim reaper mitch mcconnell blames democrats for objection. and later, where's the beef. the walk back from fox on beef, beer, and biden. on beef, beer, and biden. al boost helps protect teeth against everyday acids. pronamel boosts enamel's natural absorption of calcium and phosphate - helping keep teeth strong, white and protected from sensitivity. new pronamel mineral boost [ heavy breathing ] allergies with nasal congestion overwhelming you? breathe more freely with powerful claritin-d. claritin-d improves nasal airflow two times more than the leading allergy spray at hour one.

that's where joe biden is strongest. where is he weak? non-call edge degree, men, whites and conservative. you would think largely the trump coalition, president biden has a lot of work to do to win them over there, if he can. campaign promises, so far the american people think this president, 6 in 10 americans think he's doing a good job of keeping his campaign promises, and by and large 6 in 10 americans say this president is keeping his campaign promises so far. let's bring into our conversation right now to share their insights, a republican pollster among the co-founders of public opinion strategies. this is the world we live in, right? joe biden is not going to have an approval rating like george w. bush or barack obama because we lived in polarized time. you focus on the middle of the electorate. why is that so important and how strong is this, 57% approval among independents? >> very strong, and even stronger, 60% among independents on covid, and we have independents for the first time positive on the economy, and they are the one

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

trying to turn trump's big lie on joe biden. saying, joe biden's lying about what's in georgia's new-voting law, that restricts ballot access. >> he is lying about this bill. he is lying to the american people about it. to cause the raging fire he said he was going to put out. >> it all started with joe biden's big lie. >> it is a jedi-mind trick. okay. i want you to think about this, right? think of it. joe biden's lie -- big lie. republicans are, suddenly, concerned about lies? when they never even acknowledged the former guy? was and is a serial liar. now, they're, like, oh, my god, joe biden is lying! really, republicans? did someone introduce the word lie, back, into your vocabulary recently? because, before, you were like, lie? what's that mean? lie? never heard of the word. now, you're concerned about lies? come on, now. okay. so, and the premise of all these laws, we have to remember, over the country, was actually built on the election-fraud lie. so now, they are saying it's joe biden's lie. when all these laws, built o

it's joe biden let's move. it's clearly joe's push. some think it's odd to be putting all of his muscle behind infrastructure right now, but that's clearly joe biden's decision. there is a certain decisiveness here with him on these actions, evan, and i'm curious why you think that is. >> you know, what we're seeing in some ways is a guy who's been thinking about what it means to be president for a very long time. he's thought about presidents who have had a big imprint on history and those who did not. he's met recently with historians. he thinks about what it is that could actually change how americans think of one another and of our relationship to the government, and so that's what drives a lot of these choices. he knows that a lot of them are politically, in some cases, difficult, they're risky and might not work, and ultimately whether he can achieve these is going to come down to whether he can get the votes. but he really believes over the years democrats have often negotiated against themselves, carved down their ambitions, re

i'm joe biden, i like the middle class. that was emblematic of democrats wanting sound, particularly too white working class voters that they're the party of the middle class. they're not helping some undeserving poor welfare queen fantasy that the reaganites concocted. and that has shifted to. i spoke to for my piece in "the atlantic,," reverend william barber. and they said, they are talking about poverty, using the word poverty, installing these benefits for low-income parents and various others ways, and that's one example in which -- i think the terms of the debate have shifted. i don't think there's that much daylight necessarily between ramesh and my's diagnosis of how far this guy has gone. that's not what i'm saying. i am talking about -- even on this show, that argument that joe and i might have had about capitalism and government six years ago is different than the one we have today, because i think reality has changed. i think there's a growing recognition that the american dream is fantastic, but it's a shame t

that's what we have in joe biden. david and his friends in the democratic party should be down on their knees thanking their stars that joe biden was the nominee. yes, i think what surprised all of us, maybe including biden himself, is that we all expected him to be a transitional president. he's turning into a transformational one. he's lowering our blood pressure, unlike trump who tried to raise it. he's become a healer in chief. and meanwhile, the thing he's done that surprised me is he's been able to animate progressives by what he's doing and disarming conservatives. they can't hate joe biden because he's such a likable guy, so low key, and on the policy side there's a lot that they're for, including the pandemic package, even though they didn't vote for it. >> david pluf, time for tough love. i know by now you've caught up with the carville interview and vox in which the writer writes this. wokeness is a problem he toll me, meaning carville, and we all know it. according to carville, democrats are in power for n

i remember tonight joe biden was in full -- mode. they said don't underestimate an older american president who is there to reassure, really engage and divide partisan unity speech. republicans would probably have liked if he went more tribal, and he took that away from them. that's why i think i'm seeing joe biden now, how are we gonna beat this guy in shades of what gingrich once said about clinton? they've got a great opponent in a president. >> fernando, tara. thank you very much. we appreciate your time. >> still ahead, joe biden and his department of justice are putting a major emphasis on police reform. how the biden administration plans to take the lead on one of the most pressing issues facing the country. that's next. ountry that's next. because there are options. like an “unjection.” xeljanz. the first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to severe ulcerative colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. xeljanz can lower your ability to

we are, today, at 100 days into the joe biden presidency. the president was in georgia to get to celebrate the accomplishments of his first hundred days including the historic big legislation. he was already able to pass thanks to georgia voters in their infinite was them picking two democratic senators to send to washington to work alongside president biden to give him the majorities he needed and both house and senate to get the big covid relief act done and hopefully, and the administration eyes, to get the infrastructure bill, the voting rights bill, policing reform bill, the american families plan, and all these other things they want to get past. tonight, we are gonna be talking history and hermes of just how ambitious biden's agenda is as laid out in the state of the union, and as we've seen over these first hundred days, when you compare that with other modern presidents, when you look at the markers from other modern presidents about what they've been able to get done and why, we will be talking historically tonight in terms of what

joe biden flipped jae. joe biden flipped arizona. it's incumbent on you to come more toward us but we don't live in that washington. >> no. and it was pretty clear that from day one, given the way joe biden was brought into office and what happened on capitol hill with the insurrection and the storming of it and how those republicans that you just saw there acted in response to that, including kevin mccarthy of course who has made several comments in recent days, deflecting the former prepo president's responsibility. brought the question of what the bipartisanship was going to look lick. the white house has invited republicans over to meet about certain proposals, the coronavirus relief bill and you saw those republicans come to the mic and ever since they've had those meetings we have not seen republican lawmakers come to the mikes to speak to reporters after. they're trying to navigate this relationship with the white house while appearing like they are putting forth proposals but the big question is does joe biden get what he wan

>>> just one hour from now president joe biden nearing his 100th day in office will deliver his first address to a joint session of congress and he'll deliver that speech in the very chamber that was breached by pro trump insurrectionists. the same chamber where the mob overwhelmed police and forced lawmakers into hiding, just 112 days ago. on that day, january 6th, trump's former personal attorney, rudy giuliani, was inciting violence at a rally outside the white house just before all hell broke loose. >> so, over the next ten days we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent, and if we're wrong, we will be made fools of, but if we're right, a lot of them will go to jail, so let's have trial by combat! >> wow. we bring up rudy giuliani because he abruptly became the lead story today. in a made for tv twist for a man who before he was the mayor of new york city was once the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. federal investigators in manhattan executed search warrants early this morning at giuliani's home and office. "the new york times

trying to turn trump's big lie on joe biden saying joe biden's lying about what's in georgia's new voting law that restricts ballot access. he's lying about this bill, he's lying to the american people about it to cause the raging fire he said he was going to put out. >> it all started with joe biden's big lie. >> it is a jedi mind trick. >> okay, think about this. joe biden's big lie. republicans are suddenly concerned about lies? when they never even acknowledged the former guy? was and is a serial liar -- and now they're like joe biden is a liar. really, republicans? what is that? lie? i never heard of the word. now you are concerned about lies? come on now. okay, so the premise of all these laws we have to remember over the country was actually built on the election fraud lie. so now they're saying joe biden's lie when all these laws built on a lie. as i said it is quite the jedi mind trick yet it is easy to expose. >>> also the all-star game, joe biden never called the game to be removed and it was a big lie, that's what they're saying. joe biden answered a question about the mlb. ml

>> i think joe biden did a great job. you know, in d.c., we often say that this night is a night that kind of lays the foundation for 2022 and 2024. but what joe biden did was really talk to people, who are suffering and who are in pain right now. and have been, for quite some time. but one thing that i thought was really interesting is, as i was listening to, particularly, like, that first-35 minutes, 40 minutes of the speech that really talked about the economy. it felt like that speech was written for women. moms and women, who have been impacted so much by this pandemic. being at home. really, bearing the brunt of childcare. and so, it -- it wasn't ironic, i don't think, that there are two women behind him making history. i also thought it was, you know, unique that he took the time to identify the asian-american/pacific islander community. transgender individuals. african-americans. immigrants. he really, really met the moment. i would -- my only critique would be, and that i was expecting a little bit more, he did t

a 46-point margin over his nearest primary opponent for joe biden. so it's not just the general election. the reason that joe biden won that primary last year was because of black voters, and it was because of voters who really wanted him to address the issues of race relations and uniting the country. >> i went down there and went to a polling place and spoke to him and interviewed him, and we saw -- >> i remember that. >> and we saw the difference. i said, look, people there loved him, right? that he had this connection, especially with black voters. then you saw what transpired after that. astead, biden said that his inauguration speech, that we can deliver racial justice. he said we can't stop here after the verdict of derek chauvin, the murder trial. he's clearly not shying away from confronting racial injustice head-on. does he see this as his best opportunity to get real change? >> i think so. i think you see an agenda laid out by president biden that tries to address these in a lot of areas, not just criminal justice where we often talk about

a lot of what he said president obama said, but because joe biden is joe biden, an older white guy, it comes across differently to the country. it doesn't come across as super academic or whatever it is or it's not a black guy, right? i seem to understand every time he speaks why donald trump was afraid of him, why he feared that guy being the nominee because that is a very difficult politics to oppose. >> we're about one minute or perhaps less out from the republican response from south carolina senator tim scott. any thoughts from you before we hear from him -- >> he's at the table negotiating police reform. >> folks i'm talking with in south carolina even democrats who know tim scott and oppose him on lots of policies do believe he's sincere and believe he sees this as a chance to make his mark, something he hadn't done up to now. >> and with that the clock, by the way, started when joe biden exited the chamber. that is the exact 5-minute warning to the start of the response. as we've been saying it will be senator tim scott of south carolina. let's go to that now. >> good evening.

joe biden on matters of race. we'll play part of his rebuttal to the president last night. plus, mayor bill de blasio joins us with an exclusive announcement about new york city's fight against the coronavirus. >> it's a big one. >>> also ahead, chairman of the dccc coming back for round two. congressman sean patrick maloney on how democrats are managing the president's message. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. watching "mo. we'll be right back. plant-based surfactants like the ones in seventh generation detergent trap stains at the molecular level and flush them away. it's just science! just... science. seventh generation tackles stains. this is our block. our place. our people. watch the curb. not having a ride to get the vaccine. can't be the reason you don't get it. you wanna help? donate a ride today. how great is it that we get to tell everybody how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu! no, buddy

joe biden could have said we're going to stop clubbing baby seals. what is the strat of a patternpositivelily. that montage is really sent out to the approximately. we've seen polling from the biden and fchl. but yeah, you -- erin made a really strong point that leadership helps determine who bipartisan shop in. when you can't get lenls -- it shows the sun is up no matter what happens with part of the republican party nowadays. and the why this are product is so porcht where more of them voted for impeaching trump a second. >>> still ahead, you need a license to bblg a neempl. if you happen to be bad in any one of those jobs, you'll lose your ♪ yum yum yum yum yum yum yum ♪ ♪ yum yum yum yum yum yum ♪ ♪ yum yum yum yum yuuum yum yum yum yum yum yum yuuum ♪ ♪ yum ♪ ♪ yum yum (clap, clap) yum yum (clap) yum yum ♪ . >>> for many jobs in this country, you need a license. makes sense that you need a license to practice law or medicine or to teach, but even hairdressers need them, as do florists, strippers. in those jobs if you violate

for joe biden the challenge isn't these first 100 days. it's his entire four-year agenda, assuming he has four years for it. mid-term congressional elections are 17 months away. democrats may only have until next november to control both the white house and congress. already in the senate it's split 50/50 with vice president harris the tie-breaking vote. and the democratic caucus there is old. how old? six democratic senators are over the age of 70 who live in states with republican governors who could replace them. think about that. that means control of the senate is one heartbeat away from having vermont governor scott or massachusetts governor charlie baker swing power back over to mitch mcconnell. no one likes thinking about these things. i certainly don't like bringing them up. but it's the reality. time is not on the democrats' side. as the vice president herself pointed out this morning, there's only so much joe biden can accomplish through executive action. listen to what she had to say about gun reform. >> there is only so much,

joe biden, it may be that we learn when all the facts come out, that all joe biden's justice department did was get out of the way of an investigation that was rolling down the tracks to begin with. >> john harwood, gloria can borger, elliot williams, thank you all. we have much more ahead on this breaking news. >> we sure do. >>> plus, a judge has just decided that the family of andrew brown jr. will get to see the body cam video of his death, but the public will not. van jones joins us live to discuss. >>> president biden's first address to joint session of congress is hours away. would he give you a preview. ♪ ♪i've got the brains you've got the looks♪ ♪let's make lots of money♪ ♪you've got the brawn♪ ♪i've got the brains♪ ♪let's make lots of♪ ♪uh uh uh♪ ♪oohhh there's a lot of opportunities♪ with allstate, drivers who switched saved over $700. saving is easy when you're in good hands. allstate click or call to switch today. this past year has felt like a long, long norwegian winter. but eventually, with spring comes rebirth. everything begins anew. and

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

just moments ago, president joe biden laid out his plans to withdraw u.s. troops from afghanistan by september 11th of this year, saying that it is time to end america's longest war and the threat posed by afghanistan is not what it used to be. >> we cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan, hoping to create ideal conditions for the withdrawal, and expecting a different result. i'm now the fourth united states president to preside over american troop presence in afghanistan. two republicans, two democrats. i will not pass this responsibility on to a fifth. >> now just moments ago, we saw the presidential motorcade making its way to arlington cemetery to visit section 60, the area where service members who died in iraq and afghanistan are buried. national security adviser during the obama administration and msnbc political contributor, author of the book "presidents of war." kevin, let me start with you. i'm sure you're speaking to military officials throughout the entire military forces, if you will. how is th

they tried to paint joe biden as a crazy liberal. this was tried during the campaign where the russians and the trump campaign tried to paint joe biden as not mentally competent. and he still won. so, why would this work now? >> yeah. and i'm glad you noted, there are two things here at play, right, john? it is sort of the notion oh he's this old out of touch guy. so other people have to be in charge. and it's the and other people are in charge that are going to be so much more extreme and liberal than joe biden presents himself to be. they're trying both in this one line of attack. to your point, john, i've seen no evidence yet that it's working. obviously we lived in -- we live in very polarized times. and there's some benefit that animates the republican base with these lines of attack. but i see no evidence that broadly with the american people that joe biden has suffered in any way because of this line of attack coming from republicans. and i think they know it, which is why they're continuing to search. i mean, john cornyn is s

that is no different for joe biden tonight. what is different, though, is the impact of the pandemic on all of this. tonight's address will look very different from previous presidential addresses in the house chamber. usually some 1600 people will be filling the room. you know the video i'm talking about. tonight only 200 will attend in person. chief justice john roberts will be present to represent the high court. only two cabinet members will attend. no need for the morbid assignment of one cabinet member, there will be no designated survivor this time. also no first lady's box and no other guests in the house chamber, no unmasked faces except for the president. one historic and long overdue change, two women seated behind the president of the united states for the first time, house speaker nancy pelosi and vice president kamala harris. also important, remember that president biden will be speaking tonight at the site of the violent attack on american democracy, the site of the january 6th insurrection. a lot is going on ton

i did not change my party when i endorsed joe biden. i believe in the republican party. i believe in what we stand for and the ideals. we were once a party that is inclusive and was the party of abraham lincoln. we have lost our way. but i also know there's such a thing as a pendulum in politics, and i know you know that. once again, the republican party -- much like the democratic party, will swing back to where they began and the ideals they were founded on. >> they used to call themselves the three amigos, lindsey graham, joe lieberman, and your husband. i know family ties with lindsey graham have prevented from you saying a negative word about him while others ask what happened to him. do you think that bed fellows like that politically could ever come together again? i think people liked seeing them together because they realized that stuff was getting worked out. they were bringing other people on board. >> well, that's a large part of, as you know, what i write about in my book. john stood for the three amigos. it stood for civility and decency and honor and integ

joe biden is running 13 points ahead of the previous president in the latest nbc poll that shows joe biden's approval rating 13 points higher than the previous president's approval rating, at this exact .4 years ago. the trouble for republicans is that the most popular person in their party is the person who lost the presidential election to joe biden. and that means republicans, now, believe they simply cannot win. republicans believe they cannot win presidential elections, if those elections are held fairly. and so, instead of trying to counter joe biden's popular policies with their own policies, republicans are now lying about biden policiless. policies. for example, republicans are now claiming that joe biden wants to ban the consumption of meat, which is a complete-and-total lie. republicans find it easier to tell that lie, instead of arguing against policies. like, say, the increase in the corporate-tax rate. that joe biden will describe wednesday night, as part of his infrastructure package. which now has the support of 68% of americans. cnbc reports the stock market is perfo

cnn's joe johns has more. >> so how does joe biden stack up to some of his predecessors, and he's coming in ahead of donald trump but substantially behind barack obama and george w. bush, and the question is why is that? the answer is the country has been polarized since trump left office. it's clear that most democrats give joe biden high marks and most republicans do not. it's going to be a big week for joe biden, and the capstone of it will be the speech on capitol hill, the address to congress. even before that he's expected to layout some of the facets of his plan for american families on tuesday, and then on thursday he is expected to fly out to georgia to celebrate what he sees as the accomplishments of his first 100 days in office. joe johns, cnn, wilmington, delaware. >>> joining me now is cnn political analyst, sabrina saddiqui, and he's a analyst for "the wall street journal." >> thank you for having me. >> joe biden's approval rate something at 53%, and that's 13 points above former president donald trump but below other presidents. what do you make of the number with most am

number one, you know, lbj, like joe biden, was a creature of washington. there is no president who has more political experience upon taking office than joe biden. lbj was pretty close. lbj was in the house and the senate for a collective 24 years, but they both understand the power of government to essentially effect sweeping social change. lbj seized the presidency when he had it to put forth the laws of the great society, which essentially builds a foundation for modern america, including, importantly, getting forth civil rights. there are certainly differences between the two men, but i think joe biden has a boldness of vision in the same manner that lbj did about what government can do to bring america into the future and resolve some of the social ills that hold us back. >> you know, mark, vision is one thing. accomplishment's another, and a lot of biden's impact, mark, is going to depend on how much he actually can get done in his tenure. that's going to require pushing through legislation. we have a divided congress. and in his first press conferen

joe biden is listening to his base. he's listening not just to his bait, but to what the majority of americans want. we know the majority of americans are supportive of this bill, that we understand, infrastructure is also human beings. you need child care workers, you need those workers who are taking care of the people who will be building the infrastructure and watching the children of those who are building the infrastructure. so it's a comprehensive bill that i think represents the best of america and what american government can do for its citizens. >> and mike barnacle, doesn't it also address something that has been important to this president, but that has been a problem now for years, which is income disparity. and getting people to work and paying them. >> you know, mika, this discussion we're having right now is an important one and one that's going on from coast to coast, no doubt about that, about income disparity and about the needs of ordinary people and ordinary people who have been really battered duri
