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

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

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

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

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

he has invented a way to make joe biden no longer the president. to reinstate donald trump as president of the united states.e we are today at 100 days into od the joe biden presidency, president was in georgia today to celebrate the accomplishments of his first 100 days, including the historic big legislation he was already able to pass, thanks to georgia voters picking two democratic senators to send to c washington to work alongside president biden to give him the majorities he needed in both the house and senate, to get the big covid relief act done and to d hopefully in the administration's eyes, to get the infrastructure bill, the voting rights bill, the policing reform bill, the american families plan, and all these other things they want to get p passed. tonight, we're going to be talking history in terms of just how ambitious biden's agenda is, as laid out in the state of the union and as we have seen over the first 100 days. when you compare that with other modern presidents, when you look at the markers from other modern presidents about

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 returns america to a simpler time when we used to go hours and maybe sometimes days without thinking about the president or wondering if he's competent up to the job. two of our tip-top literal pros standing by to talk with us about a forced return to boredom. er. but new cascade platinum changes all that. new cascade platinum, with 50% more cleaning power! it dissolves fast to start cleaning sooner, releasing the soaking power of dawn. then cascade's food-seeking enzymes latch on and break down food into particles so small they can flow right down the drain. and it's powerful enough for the quick-wash cycle! new cascade platinum with 50% more cleaning power! the #1 brand just got better! gillette proglide. five blades and a pivoting flexball designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke. so you're ready for the day with a fresh face for a fresh start. for a limited time get a 5th cartridge free. did you know the source of odor in your home... ...could be all your soft surfaces? odors get trapped in your home's fabrics and resurface over time. febreze fabric refre

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 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

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.

and as vice president joe biden led the obama/biden administration's efforts to reduce gun violence. we were just reminiscing that he and i talked back then about his work because i was attorney general back then in california. his work worked from expanding the loophole to other things. president biden has great determination and greater empathy. he has seen the grief of all of those who have lost a loved one to gun violence. it is for them, for all of us that he will never, ever give up on this fight. it is now my great honor to introduce the president of the united states, joe biden. >> thank you kamala, madam vice president. we are joined today by eric garland, attorney general, who i have asked to prioritize gun violence. it's good to see the second gentleman is here and the first lady dr. jill biden who cares about this issue deeply as well. i look out there and see so many members of congress who have led in this fight, so many of you who have never given up, so many of you who are determined to get this done. we have a long way to go. it seems like we always have a long way t

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 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

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

>>> 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

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 taxing corporations on the wealthy to pay for infrastructure it's popular among repub convoters 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'sjust ran through andtious aa 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. the voters so far thi

you know joe biden. is this the same joe biden that you knew back in the obama administration? >> yeah, absolutely, alex. i mean, i think the decision that he made recently on afghanistan, again, echoed a lot of what i heard sitting in meetings in the situation room in late 2009 around that issue. i think in many ways he's very much the same person that i knew back then. i will say i think that if you look at some of what is happening around infrastructure and climate change, i think it's also a president that realizes that a lot of these problems have lingered far too long, and they're not going to get better if we keep kicking the can down the road. and i think you've seen really bold infrastructure plans, big plans around cutting emissions that contribute to climate change because he understands, quite frankly, we don't have four or six or eight years to waste on this topic. so, i think both he's steady in what he's believed, and i think as the vice president said, he's using that experience, but i also think he understands the moment in time that he sits in that oval office

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

seuss, then they were mad this past week about joe biden's big meat fan even though joe biden is not banning meat. that was totally made up. one fox news anchor to his credit yesterday did run an on air correction apologizing for the fox channel repeatedly hyping this story that biden was going to ban meat when that was not actually a proposal from the biden administration, from the president at all. there was one fox anchor that made a statement on camera apologizing for that network hyping that full story. but for the last few days, republicans have been all over that. they've also been hyping a totally different, also totally false story that all kids detained by immigration authorities at the u.s. border were being given a child's picture book written by vice president kamala harris. the implication was that the biden administration was bulk buying vice president harris'children's book to give to immigrant kids at the border. that is totally made up. that is not happening. it is literally just a made-up story created out of cloth. didn't happen. isn't happening. never proposed. b

it is part of the crackic play book if we can simply enter joe biden. the naegs of wealthy investors, the money would be earmarked for child care. he needs the business community. business makes wall street go and a bare market's a problem. >> yeah. so there's a lot at play here. biden did run on these platforms. he was going to raise taxes the healthy and if you look at the public opinion polling, when you poll those specific provisions, on the infrastructure plan, the plan gets more people when you paid people that the politics to this. they look at this as a potential opportunity. they want to hammer away at biden hand accuse him and reclaim the mandl. whether -- i'm not prgsly there a groups like the chamber of congress mitten is playing for it. republicans are not going to sit by and not take advantage of it, you a sarg owe. the policing could define 20 in gentlemen, thej flchl now that you're in the podcast business, you know exactly how long 45 seconds is. will we sao any kind of infrastructure program about 20-21. i think right now you will. the

so again, if you're joe biden, that's what you're looking at. and in terms of bipartisanship, no one has been more bipartisan in his professional, political life than joseph r. biden of delaware. nobody. you can look at his record in the senate. he was always working across the aisle, so now he's president of the united states, and now he has republicans into the oval office to sit and talk about things that his administration wants to do, and he's met with some who would like to do it, but they are still the facts of life in that party, they are still enthrall and in fear of donald j. trump, and they are reluctant to say yes to something almost every american wants to have happen and they've become the party of no. that's what you're dealing with if you are president joseph r. biden. that's the deal as he would say. >> so ahead we're going to speak with our friend who's calling this the new progressive era and that president biden is, quote, almost magical in his ability to make progressivism boring. we're back in a moment.

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

then they were mad about joe biden's big meat ban, even though joe biden is not banning meat. that was totally made up. one fox news anchor, to his credit, yesterday did run an on-air correction apologizing for the fox news channel saying biden would ban meat when that's not in the proposal at all. there was one fox anchor on camera apologizing in front of america for hyping that story. for the last few days, republicans have been all over that. they've also been hyping a totally different, also totally false story that all kids detained by immigration authorities at the u.s. border were being given a child's picture book written by vice president kamala harris. the implication was that the biden administration were giving the book to migrant kids at the border. that is totally made up. it is not happening. it is literally a story made up storey made out of whole cloth. never proposed. but that's the latest one. it's become yet another new, animating, totally fake grievance in conservative media and among republican elected politicians. because this is how they spend their tim

i also expect him to be pretty aggressive in terms of responding what joe biden's infrastructure plan is going to be, the cost is too expensive, that raising american taxes is not the answer right now. and i think we will hear a lot of the themes that we already started to hear from republicans as they started to attack the infrastructure bill, az they try to find a pathway forward, for potentially some bipartisan bill. we'll see how effective it is. to your point, i think the response will be very fraught, and almost a do no harm position, because many oftentimes, it doesn't work out necessarily as the person giving them expects. >> indeed that is the case. i guess we will see how it goes on wednesday. punch bowl news anna palmer, thanks for being up with us. we appreciate it. >>> let's turn now to the coronavirus pandemic. and those questions of whether those who are vaccinated still need to wear masks outdoors. yesterday, dr. anthony fauci said he expects the cdc will soon update the guidelines on that. >> very soon, imminently in the next few day, very likely, the cdc will be comi

thank you, joe biden. they're not overstating the case. there are no republicans to thank. but now, this is times square in new york city. now, they've started doing this around the country. this went up in minneapolis, minnesota, today. help is here. $1,400 checks, money to reopen schools, money for vaccines. help is here. thanks to president biden, and on the other side, thanks to senator klobuchar, senator smith, who both voted for the covid relief bill, so they get thanks. if you're in a state that doesn't have democratic senators like minnesota does, here's the version that you may see going up. this is from north carolina. i think it also just went up today in greensboro. similar theme, help is here, checks, money for schools and vaccines. thanks to president biden. but in this case, because it's north carolina, the other side says, help is here, no thanks to senator burr and senator tillis. since they have two republican senators, and both voted no. all republican senators voted no. it makes it particularly stark in a state like wisconsin, where they have one senator

and you know, joe biden is president of the united states. whatever they do in arizona it is not going to make him not president of the united states. but, what they are doing in arizona, what has trump world electrified right now, all newly energized with the fantasy that trump world has yet to be reinstated as president, with a just ordered today at the veterans memorial coliseum in phoenix is going to be used by trump world to try to claim forever that trump secretly won arizona. and he secretly won the election. and biden is illegitimate at as president. and they will use when they are starting their to contend that for years. here we go. do you have a stubborn in your side? we are never going to get away from this mess. i mean, eventually, we will all get old enough that he will age out. but we are never going to get this particular dollop of stake out off of our proverbial shoe. today honestly felt like a minefield of stories like this. i mean, hard-core trump world really does think that the election is going to be overturned because o

joe biden really does want to work with people across the aisle. that is something that is in his blood. he remembers the old days of the senate, where that was something that was really a part of him. working together, figuring things out, compromise, which feels like a dirty word nowadays. so i think that is true. you also have joe manchin, who has said he doesn't really want them to use reconciliation and wants to see some movement, some conversations happening. the problem is, democrats are using, like you said, this kind of evolution of the word infrastructure, right? it's not just roads and bridges and railways and rural broadband. it is also the caregiving aspect of it. and the question -- i've been talking to a lot of people about this, and i said, do you think the american people are going to have an issue with the question of, what is infrastructure? and what i keep hearing is, the american people care about things that work for them. they are -- like, you showed all of those things that are so popular with the american people. whether yo

and, you know, joe biden is president of the united states. whatever they do in arizona is not going to make him not president of the united states. but what they are doing in arizona, what has trump world, like, electrified right now will have trump reinstated as president and biden as a usurper or whatever. what they started today at the veterans auditorium in phoenix is going to be used in trump world to try to claim forever that trump secretly won arizona and he secretly won the election and biden is illegitimate as president. they will use that to contend for years. here we go. do you have a cyber ninja on your side? we are never going to get away from this mess. i mean, eventually we'll all get old enough that it will age out, but we are just never going to get this particular dollop of stink off our proverbial shoe. today honestly felt like a minefield of stories like this. i mean, hard-core trump world really does think that the election is going to be overturned because of the, you know, sidney powell, lynnwood qanon folks being in ch

now i think you see joe biden saying, look, we don't want any part of that. if they investigate rudy giuliani they can do that and don't tell me and he said he did not know and exactly the change in some ways that the american people voted for and they don't want to have the two things, the presidency and the department of justice, at all working together and supposed to be independent and the way that american democracy worked and thrived. >> let me play for you michael cohen on rudy giuliani and donald trump. >> first of all, you have to understand. there really is no relationship. nor has there ever been between rudy and donald. prior to donald being president rudy didn't like donald and donald didn't like rudy. do i think he'll give up donald in a heart beat? absolutely. >> so michael cohen spent time in jail. at the end of his association with donald trump. this is another associate of donald trump but perhaps the trumpiest of all rudy giuliani was traveling the country. i think he caught covid at the time peddling the big lie behind the story we started

world, not bad, saying they approve of the job joe biden has done on coronavirus. so that may be showing people moving away from donald trump -- not a huge share of republicans, but in the world we live in, if a third of republicans support what a democratic president is doing, that's noteworthy and could account for some of the shift. >> that's a really good point. i think this helps explain how liz cheney is thinking about this. we have a little bit of sound from what she said at her leadership press availability i want to show you. essentially she's looking at the map saying we're fighting these -- in these swing districts in swing states for the white house, the very narrowest of margins and if we don't win back that 30% that carrie was just talking about, if those 30% think biden is a-okay, republicans are in big trouble. here's what cheney had to say yesterday. >> i think right now the republican party is headed by mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy in the house. i think our elected leaders are the ones in charge of the republican party. as we look at '22 and

to tee off not on joe biden, but on his fellow republicans. and voting rights under attack across this country, a reality check on where the threat is the worst. but we want to start with that disturbing body cam video of an army lieutenant traffic stop in windsor have a. vonn hillyard is covering the story for us. thanks for joining us on this. i have to say the video is disturbing to watch. what do we know about what led to the release of this video and the lead up to that confrontation? >> yeah. yasmin, good afternoon. this took place west of norfolk, virginia here, and it was on december 5th. several months ago now. but this video footage is now just coming to us here after a lawsuit was filed by this ari melber -- army lieutenant against two officers of the police department who attempted to, they say, in this police report pull him over the night of december 5th. nazaro says he drove about a mile and a half to a well lit gas station, put on his hazard lights but wanted to go to an area not as dark. the police claim that he did not have a
