biden my mind is joe biden has always always been a consensus democrat he will basically be where the democratic party is kind of wherever it goes and so in that in that sense i agree with liz it does not surprise me greatly that this is where he has ended up i was telling a lot of people in kind of intradermal craddick party discussions you know during the primaries that that this is this is where i thought that you know where i thought that he would be look there's some obvious things with joe biden look joe biden is old he's an old white catholic man who has a very kind of genie all personality even people who are trying to demonize him now a hard time getting past that barack obama was a young black man with a foreign sounding name rooted in arabic. is a very different people right it's not surprising to me at all that that that things you know he is a different person american politics reacts to those 2 different kinds of people differently i think that that's just you know that that is just obvious the other thing is and this is one of those examples of sometimes a flawed person

joe biden has insisted migrant admissions will continue despite admitting the unprecedented immigration situation is now a crisis that as as the president is increasingly pressured by fellow democrats artie's kaleb more pain has the story. for months the white house has been insisting that it is not the time to use the word crisis for the situation at the border. illegally here right now the crisis the border i see he said the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border of. this crisis center but i don't think we need to sit here and put new labels on what we have already conveyed is challenging but now biden has given in he's using the scary word that he tried to avoid because there obviously is one so how does biden intend to put out the flames of the crisis well he's going to allow more refugees into the country. if. the traditional authorities in america such as the police and the border patrol are on the edge of rebellion because the policies being thrust on them from washington d.c. are destroying their ability to do their jobs and destroying before their eyes the natu

joe biden spent decades in the u.s. congress as a senator. he was back with an ambitious program that could see him becoming a transformational u.s. president. good to be back. he began by drawing attention to the historic fact that for the 1st time ever the 2 people behind him where women madam speaker. madam vice president i. know you measure this. has never said those words from this podium no president ever said those words. then a grim summary of his 1st 100 days combined with a note of optimism 100 days since i took the oath of office left in my hand off our family bible and heritage nation we all did it was in crisis the worst pandemic of the century the worst economic crisis since the great depression the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war now after just 100 days i can report to the nation america is on the move again. offering a wide ranging vision of jobs prosperity and a new big government with big spending plans biden said he would pay for it all with higher taxes on corporations and the super rich continuous cycle

president jeff zucker himself naturally trying to make joe biden out to be a spring chicken was the other side of the anti trump propaganda calling yeah i mean really we did it right but there was. a noise and shaking or whatever and he brought in like so many medical people so like all tell a story like this is all speculation you know you're shocked to hear john. mccain. you know. him and aviator she. hates him is a. young period. that sounds a lot like election meddling something c.n.n. has pointed the finger at russia for time and time again blaming on unverifiable claims from u.s. intelligence and its reputation as evidence the. in last year's elections the network claimed that moscow was trying to hurt joe biden's chances by spreading conspiracy theories about the now u.s. president i'm talking about russia attacking our election russia once again interfered in the race for the white house russia is indeed interfering in the 2020 election with that kind of a double standard it should come as no surprise that people's trust for c.n.n. is on the decline but we don't think that this is

president. >> no he asked me just as he was asking to do it pretty joe biden was vice president was asked by president obama to focus on the northern triangle and is asked me to do in a carry-on the work that he did. any you get back to the question that you asked, we are making progress butak it's not going to evidence itself overnight. it will not but it will be worth it, tell you that part of my approach to this is that we have got to institutionalize the work and enter life and her international license which is for example i am working with thomas greenfield and we are going to be increasing the quest that we are going to be making of the united nations because again, this is about the western hemisphere. we are a neighbor in the western hemisphere and it is also a better understanding that we ndhave the capacity to actually gete in there if we are consistent predict part of the problem is that under this administration, they pulled out essentially the previous administration, a lot of the continuum work essentially came to a standstill. >> that wasa from vice presidet kamala harris,

president joe biden's 1st $100.00 days in office americans always get out. today that's what we're doing america's right. but as biden celebrated his achievements on wednesday night in his 1st formal address to congress many challenges still remain something we'll explore over the next 60 minutes. in 93 at the depths of the great depression franklin roosevelt used his 1st months as u.s. president to push sweeping legislation through congress it stabilized the nation in economic freefall and reshaped americans' relationship with their government for decades to come and this set a political benchmark against which every subsequent president has been judged now when joe biden marked his 1st $100.00 days with a speech to congress and the country he set similarly ambitious goals promising trillions of dollars in investment in jobs in infrastructure and in education republican party hit back and attacked biden for empty words and broken promises let's look back now at biden's 1st $100.00 days with this report from grossman george. when the us president speaks to c

president joe biden. vice president come on the harris the white house he is the 1st foreign leader abidance hosting since he took office the 2 i expected to discuss china's growing economic and military power in the pacific region aging has warned the u.s. and japan about what it described as negative news and collusion against china. the global economy is also another focus of talks between biden and get the 2 lead is concerned about a worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips rob reynolds has more on the story. semiconductors are at the heart of the devices many of us use every day from phones to game console household electronics and medical diagnostics to name just a few but now there are a shortage of the vital silicon chips in my 30 year career i've never seen a. demand exceeding supply to the extent that we have supplies were tight before the pandemic hit but during the global lockdowns demand for more networking in more devices has skyrocketed now we're in a multi-year cycle where the demand is r

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?

that is where vice president -- that is what vice president joe biden worked on. that is no one vice president harris is going to work on. ryan: want to ask you about being chief of staff and how you think about that role. you have been chief of staff before but not quite at this level. i know from talking to you in the past you have thought about the history of that job and how to design it. one of the most important things you need to think about in that job is how much do you bring decisions to the president and how much are you able to get white house consensus around the big table in the chief of staff's office? some president have wanted to delegate quite a lot to their staff and only wanted the most important issues brought into the oval. others wanted everything in there. can you give us a sense of how you think about that and how the president has asked you to think about that issue? ron: we bring all significant issues to the president even if their decisions the staff is in consensus on because maybe sometimes our consensus is not where he is. the presi

side. -- will be filled by people on the joe biden side. he's picked a team in all of these positions that reflect his views, that we need to tackle some of the issues in the country. and making sure we have a system working for the middle class and for consumers, so his picks have reflected that to date and the remaining picks that you talk will reflect it, as well. by the way, including not just the anti-trust thing, the ftc, and moving it and there's an effort to make sure we are looking out for consumer and that is certainly his philosophy. i'm not going to get into announcing our personnel picks here, playbook, as much as you'd like me to. we will run through a process and that's how we've done it and how we'll continue to do it. >> one policy question on public options. that of course was one of the central debates in the democratic primaries. medicare for all versus public options. will the public options be included in the second stage of legislation here in the american families plan? >> well, you know, again, i'll let us roll out

president joe biden has convened his 1st cabinet meeting at the white house by the nines to promote his new 2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan the senate confirmed his for cabinet last week biden has described it as the most diverse in u.s. history. belgian place ads clashed with a large crowd gathered in a person's park after a fight concert was announced as an april fools day prank thousands of young people defied the ban on large gatherings as in fiction numbers in belgium search police say 22 people were arrested. this is day to news from berlin you can follow us on twitter and facebook or you can go to our web site to be found at dot com. when joe biden became us president to he told his country and the world that america is back and now biden wants to put his money where his mouth is tax money $2.00 trillion dollars biden is proposing an unprecedented infrastructure plan that does more than repair roads and bridges think green energy social engineering tonight the world's leading superpower holding on to that title by investing in a major make over of itself and the rest of the

joe biden says america is going to start getting back to normal in the coming summer months but what is that going to look like will normal only be for vaccinated folks while everyone else stays home such talk is being met with fury from republicans who are set against it especially when it comes from democrats who oppose id checks considering that democrats want to require vaccine i.d.'s for people to conduct their basic daily activities they now have 0 grounds to objects to voter id laws he funded democrat logic you should need a $92.00 and even a grocery stool surely there wouldn't be an objection to showing an id to legally vote vaccine credentials would be a complete government over step individuals in america have a personal responsibility for their health the governor of florida is now promising a state wide ban it's completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society you want the fox to guard the hen house i mean give me a break i think

when joe biden became u.s. president to he told his country and the world that america is back and now biden wants to put his money where his mouth is tax money $2.00 trillion dollars biden is proposing an unprecedented infrastructure plan that does more than repair roads and bridges think green energy social engineering tonight the world's leading superpower holding on to that title by investing in a major make over of itself and the rest of the world to go off in berlin this is the day. not a plan that triggers around the edges. it's a once in a generation investment roughly 2 trillion dollars in the near future you can't delay can't delay to the minute on infrastructure is crumbling you know there's a lot of autocrats in the world and think the reason why they're going to win this democracy is can't reach consensus in the sense of competition between them or china the rest of the world is 50 years people who look back you see this was a move. to the miracle of. the future. also coming up they are 5 greek isl

. >> you said during your conversation hearings you would do a [inaudible] recently joe biden did a virtual tour of the facility of sensibly promoting it and the white house says you haven't divested yet. do you plan to divest mac. >> absolutely. i signed an agreement, ethics agreement that requires me to divest of all my individually owned stock of all federal appointees within 180 days and i certainly will do that. >> to see the validity of why it looks improper that he's promoting this? >> well, i have nothing to do with that and i resigned from pro terra signed an ethics agreement and i will divest of all my stock and this is why you have ethics agreements with federal employees so that these issues do not arise over the before you so i will certainly do that and they understand the prudence of those ethics agreements. >> i want to ask you about exxon mobil and they offered or put into this plan to capture 100 million tons of carbon annually and they say it's the equivalent taking 20 million cars off the road but it requires a lot of government assistance, right? would you support carbo

[applause] president joe biden has the will and the courage to act. [applause] as a united states senator, joe biden took on the gun lobby not once, but twice, and he won. in 1993, he worked to pass the brady handgun violation prevention act. it established a background check system and has kept more than 3 million firearms out of the hands of dangerous people. a year later, he worked to pass another law to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines for 10 years. as vice president, joe biden led the efforts to reduce gun violence. we were reminiscing he and i talked back then about his work. i was attorney general of california. his work resulted in nearly two dozen actions, from narrowing the loophole, to expanding funding for mental health services. as you will hear, president joe biden is a leader with great will, 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, he will never give up on this. it is my great honor to introduce the president

president joe biden has been reaching out, trying to court republicans over his infrastructure plan. they say it is all talk and no action. they see what happens on the covid relief bill, where he had one meeting with republican senators, and then had democrats passed the relief bill on their own. there is a lot of skepticism coming into this meeting. yet, at the same time, this has been a kind of issue were all sides can come together. everybody needs roads and bridges and broadband across communities, so there is some interest from republicans to work with the president. but we will see. democrats are in a hurry to get a lot of this done while they can. it is unclear if they will wait around to hammer out some sort of broad compromise with republicans. host: let me get your reaction to what the number three in the house of representatives, liz cheney, said the other day. she supported an infrastructure bill put forth by president trump, opposes the one put forth by president biden. she explains. >> it is a different proposal, obviously. less than 6% of this proposal president biden

actions speak a whole lot louder than those sort of words joe biden was because of joe biden said he's interested in the normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multipolar world which shots at the possibility of american has humani instead they count on sanctions and interference in our internal affairs so at this point russia says that they are going to react to these measures coming from the u.s. and the white house in turn says they reserve the right to react to russia's reaction while adding and here's the kicker that it would be best if everyone restrain themselves from escalating the situation any further. or political analyst chris bambery believes sanctions are the least efficient way to resolve the current issues between moscow and washington if you recall when donald trump was 1st elected he was adamant he was going to improve a relationship with with putin and with moscow but a majority opinion in the white sows the united states military united states security and

i don't think that is joe biden's priority. he is a 50-50 joe biden's priority. he is a 50—50 senate, knows he has a small window and has a brief amount of time to push as much as possible to be this transformative president he tra nsformative president he wants transformative president he wants to be and that is what we're seeing. the saturday bed earlier. it the complete russell bill clinton's speech saying the era of big government's over and this is the era of arriving. he needs assistance. we have a 50—50 congress and senator manchin is going to pay a significant role republicans will play a role. the expansion is unprecedented.— will play a role. the expansion is unprecedented. brian, do you think he can _ is unprecedented. brian, do you think he can do _ is unprecedented. brian, do you think he can do it. _ is unprecedented. brian, do you think he can do it. he _ is unprecedented. brian, do you think he can do it. he laid - is unprecedented. brian, do you think he can do it. he laid out. think he can do it. he laid out a very ambitious plan to reshap

president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin to secure a u.s. desire for a predictable relation. ship the united states announced surprise russia sanctions we cannot allow a foreign power to interfere in our direct democratic process with impunity more than 30 russian entities are being targeted at least 10 russian diplomats will be expelled from the united states and some tech firms are being punished for allegedly providing support to russian intelligence the sanctions also put in place rules banning some financial dealings involving russia's sovereign debt to choke off lending and inflict economic harm we want a stable predictable relationship and russia continues interfere with our democracy i'm prepared to take further actions to respond. the white house says the sanctions are retaliation for russia's alleged aggressive actions including the occupation of crimea interference in u.s. presidential elections and last year solar winds hack that infiltrated the computers of thousands of u.s. businesses and government agencies. the sanctions also

eric: a bonehead move that was senator joe biden in 1983 giving his advice about expanding u.s. supreme court referring to present rosenfeld to do that, court packing in 1937. well, now president biden creates a commission to do just that. enlarging the nation's highest court, progressive and liberal democrats calling for republicans and they are up in arms. with the president take his former senators self advice editor of the "wall street journal" joins us now. you think we will see an expansion team? >> president biden said during the campaign that he didn't have firm opinion on this and wasn't inclined to join in the rally to expand the court to dilute cash three conservative now so this is the answer, he said commission and he's done that. if you are a lost student right now, you want to be an intern on the commission because it's a robust very interesting group of conservative as well as liberal legal scholars and lawyers, former judges, a range of people, former congress people who are going to debate some of the issues presented by the president. eric: but you know what?

president joe biden a chance to change the trajectory in this country he said speaking of the systemic racism that is the stain on the nation's soul as he put it he said he has spoken to george floyd's family and told them that this verdict is a giant step forward in the march towards justice in the united states and said that this kind of verdict is much too rare and just before the president spoke we heard from the vice president comment harris who the senate to pass the george floyd justice policing act said something that the president also referred to all right let's cross to can we help get our correspondent standing by for us at the white house and kimberly a giant step forward as president. that is certainly the message coming from not only president joe biden but also his vice president kala harris when she spoke as she started out her comments she talked about how while this might be a measure of justice this in no way should equate to equal justice in other words that this is a white house that believes that there is still so much work to be done and that was the focus of th

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

biden look joe biden is old he's an old white catholic man who has a very kind of. personality even people who are trying to demonize him now a hard time getting past that barack obama was a young black man with a foreign sounding name rooted in arabic. these are very different people right it's not surprising to me at all that that that things you know he is a different person american politics reacts to those 2 different kinds of people differently i think that that's just you know that that is just obvious the other thing is and this is one of those examples of sometimes a flawed person we're all flawed but sometimes a flawed person. meets their moment and the kind of a signature thing about joe biden to his political career has been the politics of empathy. and at many points in our history that is that is all that is of only limited political you know currency political resonance he managed to become president though in a period where it was a central grounding aspect of a political personality both because of covert and because he was succeeding a man who is w
