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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

>>> 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.

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

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,

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

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.

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

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

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 point, four years ago. trouble for republicans is that the most popular person in the party is the person who lost the presidential debate to joe biden. that means republicans now think they cannot win. republicans believe they cannot win presidential elections if those elections are held fairly. instead of trying to counter joe biden's policies with their own policies, republicans are now lying about biden 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 described wednesday night, as part of his in just four structure package, which now has the support of 68% of americans. cnbc announces the stock report is going the best it has in the presidency,

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

joe biden won 51% of the vote in november. the latest gallup poll taken this month has the approval rating at 57%. biden has enjoined overwhelming support for his handling of the coronavirus vaccine rollout. the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan is supported by 67% of americans according to pew and a majority of americans support the jobs and infrastructure proposals. so joe biden's agenda is popular with both republicans and democrats voters if not republican lawmakers. joining us now is democratic congresswoman davids of kansas, vice chair of the new democrat coe lags and among a group of lawmakers that met this week with white house senior staff to discuss policy priorities for the american jobs plan. congresswoman, thank you for being with us tonight. >> good to be here. >> let's talk about first of all this concept of governing for people who didn't necessarily vote for you. you know this well being a democrat from the state of kansas these days. what is it that is working in your opinion after a conversation that you ha

it was about the black guy. >> joe biden is white. joe biden is white. he makings them mad. and joe biden is white so they are not out there, and their funny hats, and the american pounder costumes with -- it was never about the debt, and we said that in 2009. it was never about the deficit. it was about one thing. we know that now. and god bless that woman for standing up saying there is no good in slavery. >> it goes through the fact that the new deal and the things that a lot of white working place people used to cherish, they hate. they associate with black people and the things that save their own families throughout the 1940s and '50s are on welfare and bad. isn't that all there is? that is why fox news is in the outreach business. they are mad at people who are not christians. >> they want to people people mad. they want to people people convinced. you can sense a sense of disappointment there are not racial riots, urban riots. they had all the talking points about that, that were cued up but you will say, it's really extraordinary looking at some of the polls. the po

biden. [ cheers and applause ] >> joe biden will be the fifth president to address a joint session of congress with congressman james clyburn in the room, but joe biden will be the first president who knows when he looks down from the podium and sees congressman clyburn, that he would not be standing there as president of the united states without jim clyburn's crucial support in the south carolina primary which took joe biden from losing presidential candidate to winning presidential candidate. joining us now is house majority whip, congressman jim clyburn of south carolina. thank you very much for joining us tonight. the night before joe biden's first address to a joint session of the congress as president. i know when you endorsed him, you publicly relied heavily on the advice of your late wife emily, and i have to wonder, what would emily think of these first 100 days of the biden presidency? >> she would be ecstatic. you know, joe biden made it very clear upon his election that he was going to be laserly focused on covid-19. as you know, my late wife battled for almost 30 years w

they have no incentive here to try to either not just help joe biden but help joe biden dig this country out of its crisis. >> yeah. david drucker, we're starting to see a really interesting dynamic take place here, i think, where joe biden seems to me to be a mirror image of ronald reagan. reagan who was seen as temperamentally moderate, you know. everybody's grand dad. people liked reagan. he wasn't threatening. he was always being, you know, accused of being a fascist and accused of being threatening. people see reagan on tv and they go, he's my grand dad. right? and he passed very conservative legislation. it was a conservative revolution and yet, again, remarkably popular, here we have with joe biden a guy who is temperamentally moderate. a guy that republicans and talk radio bashes, suggests that he's just horrible or out of his mind and he's good old joe. but he's passing really progressive legislation here. he's going really big in a way that even larry somers and steve ratner and people who have been lifelong democratic economists or business people are saying, wait, wait, we're

he voted for joe biden. f-you, boo. >> what do you think it means about the state of america, where we are today? you've had a little bit of time now to process it. >> we've got a long way to go. we've got a long way to go. and what makes that even scarier is that people still don't acknowledge what happened as bad. yeah, it wasn't cool. but it wasn't a big deal. it wasn't a big deal? what if they succeeded? would it be a big deal if they succeeded? they wanted to hang mike pence. what if they did? would it have been a big deal then? kill nancy pelosi. >> where are you, nancy? >> what if they did? it wasn't a big deal? the police, we did our job. we fought like hell to protect democracy. it wasn't a big deal. >> reporter: more than 400 protestors have been charged for the capitol breach. dominic pezzola is awaiting trial on 11 counts, including conspiracy and assault and could face up to 20 years in prison. he pled not guilty. robert gieswein is facing charges for assault with a baseball bat and aerosol spra

we should say the reason joe biden is doing this is because joe biden has just astonishingly good approval numbers right now. i have no idea the last -- i'm surprised how high they are not only on the covid response but general job approval and this -- all of these proposals are popular even taxish corporations on the wealthy to pay for infrastructure it's popular among republican voters and trump voters. in a moment of crisis at the beginning of his presidency, joe biden is making clear he's willing to go for broke because he believes this is popular and has a window to do this. where it will break down as peter eluded to is among his own party if he's trying to use a narrow process to get through a party line vote, i think that talking point for republicans later this year and as we get into an election year next year, look, joe biden never included us in any of these negotiations, he's just ran through and incredibly ambitious agenda items without taking proposals or seeking votes that's more powerful than this paying for all of this needed infrastructure with tax hikes is a non-starter

against, joe biden's a president, he got elected president. he can pass whatever bill he wants to pass. i'm just saying, for people that are looking at these bills, as we've been saying for the past several weeks, richard, it's not a surprise that a lot of republicans just said, hey, you know what? i can't put more money into the economy from the federal government than was taken out by this pandemic. >> yeah, exactly right. look, i understand why republicans don't have a whole lot of standing here, given what they did over the last four years, i get that. but that said, there's a lot of spending here that's not targeted, so the concerns are really two-fold. one is the inflationer expectations or pressures you're building in. it obviously contributes to the deficit and debt. but also what people like larry summers were saying, you didn't get a whole lot for this in terms of infrastructure, in terms of moving things in the direction of green technology, so now you need a whole separate piece of legislation to do that. which simply adds to the p

authorities say they helped giuliani dig for dirt on trump's political rivals including joe biden and for damaging information on hunter biden who had done business in ukraine. rudy's activity was also linked to events that led to trump's first impeachment. back with us tonight, daniel goldman, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. he also served as general counsel for the house intel committee during that first trump impeachment. counselor, a very basic question to start with. what does it mean that a federal judge approved and allowed a raid by the feds on rudy giuliani whose portrait still hangs at the southern district of new york because he ran the office? >> well, brian, there's a technical answer and there's a more figurative answer. the technical answer is that a judge found that there is probable cause to believe there was evidence of a crime in his apartment and his office. but the figurative answer as you just mentioned is much more significant. this is not only the former u.s. attorney of that office, but it was also the president's former l

presidential opponents, joe biden. and he was trying to create an announcement of ashamed investigation that would vindicate donald trump in the 2016 election. that is the political side of it. what we are now seeing is that the southern district of new york is honing in on a financial side of this whole ordeal, which is to say that they are looking at whether or not giuliani received money from ukrainians to influence donald trump or the u.s. public. it does not have to be an actual government official in order to be a crime. but for ukrainian purposes that giuliani was paid to do that and he didn't register as a foreign agent, which is a crime. >> this is probably officially more and aside than a question, it is not meant to be snide, but go ahead and take a swing at it. has it occurred to anyone that if doj had not slow walked this under attorney general barr, as alleged, if they had pulled off this raid a year ago today, he would've been pardoned by his good friend donald trump in all likelihood. >> that is a very

now joe biden won that county very easily in the 2020 election and he won the state of arizona overall. they refused to believe that and they say that there was a simple problem with the arizona election which is that the supported biden votes were all fake votes, so if you simply strip away all the fifth votes, particularly all of them in maricopa county than donald trump will be revealed to be the win of arizona and therefore he would be reelected as president and joe biden has to go back home to delaware. immediately following the election they pursue this theory, nine ways to sunday, arizona did an audit of the election results in maricopa, done by federally accredited firms, there was a second audit there, was a hand recount supervised by both parties, none of it showed any sham ballot any fraud, any fake anything, any change in the results. the board of supervisors for maricopa county, for members, voted unanimously to certify biden as the winner of the county and the state of our zone of. the clearly that is not enough, that is not enough, not for this republican party. not with

joe biden has been around. he did support obama. he really did play by these rules. with that in mind on this big, historic mind, take a look at something we pulled, kind of interesting all the way back to a younger joe biden with the democratic response. >> we can criticize the republicans, and we will. we think, frankly, though, it is time we put up or shut up. >> very positive and hopeful democratic view, a vision of america that says we can rebuild to a stronger economy. we can create better and more secure jobs. and we can really put this country back to work. >> what do you see there, james? >> well, i see a guy that's not even two years older than me. you know, time will tell. i think remarkably enough and i have several times been corned by then senator biden on the metro line, and i haven't talked to president biden in some time. it's the same guy that i used to see on the mote rhe metro line '80s. i mean, he's really -- there is no surprises with him. we had someone on my podcast that covers him as hard as anybody. when people ask me about him, i see, you k
