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 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

[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

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

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

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 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

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?

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

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

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

president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin to secure a u.s. desire for a predictable relationship the united states announces surprise russia's sanctions we cannot allow foreign power to interfere in our 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 to stable predictable relationship and russia continues interfere with our democracy i'm prepared to take further actions to respond to. 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 resp

to withdraw its troops from afghanistan by next month are being delayed president joe biden is expected to announce in the next few minutes that forces will leave by september 11th now under a deal signed with the taliban the troops were to pull out by may the 1st at the peak of the war in 2001 there were more than 100000 american troops nearly 10000 foreign troops some 36 countries are still serving as part of a nato mission and the u.s. contributes the most followed by germany and its defense minister says she'll meet with officials from the u.s. u.k. and france to coordinate their eggs. well a delay in the withdrawal raises questions about talks with the taliban and afghan governments which are set to resume in turkey b. taliban has said it won't take part until all foreign troops leave but some bring in karen hawkins she's our white house correspondent kelly and we are waiting for the president to speak any moment now on the troop withdrawal. that's right as we await the president we've had a little bit more of an understanding about the process for this new deadline because of cour

president joe biden just delivered to congress his 1st address to congress on the eve of his 100th day in office suite how did the country's recovery in that time despite facing the pandemic and the severe economic as well as political crises and he also did lay out parts of his american families plan that's a roughly $1.00 trillion dollar legislative proposal to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in priorities like education childcare and paid leave all of which he spoke about the president was speaking just over an hour and that is his wife the 1st lady joe biden on your screens right now let's bring in our white house correspondent kelly halkett she's standing by for us in capitol hill where biden is right now kimberly so a lot to unpack let's talk about the key takeaway messages. well i think the 1st thing that we need to note about this is that this speech was historic in nature but it was also very heartfelt in its delivery the fact that the u.s. president started out his speech acknowledging how far america has come the fact that right behind him was an image that has never

and i can think of no one more committed to achieving our collective goals than president joe biden. the president was one of the first members in the united states congress to take on the issue of climate change. on our first day in office, he led the fact that we'd rejoin the paris agreement. and the president is just getting started as we work to tack until crisis, while creating clean energy jobs across our nation. it is now my great honor to introduce the president of the united states, owe biden. pres. biden: thank you, madam vice president. good morning to all our colleagues around the world, the world leaders taking part in this summit. i thank you. you know, your leadership on this issue is a statement to the people of your nation and the people of every nation, especially our young people that we're ready to meet this moment. meeting this moment is about more than preserving our planet. it's also about providing a better future for all of us. that's why when people talk about climate, i think jobs. within our climate response lies an extraordinary engine of job creation and

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

i'm surprised that joe biden did x, y, z. it's not what he's doing, it's what he told people he would do if he got elected president and that's the touchstone here and i think that's partly why what we've done has had so much support because people see him doing what a president is going to do. he ran for president, i'm going to fix the covid response, get the economy moving and build back better and that's what we're doing. i think that's the touchstone of our approach in the white house. >> one quick question on anti-trust. there's a big lively debate up on anti-trust among democrats these days. you have for the administration for two positions has hit well-known anti-trust activists, tim wu as the white house economic advisor and lena khan at fcc. there's enormous amount of interest who the white house will choose for associate general for anti-trust and ftc commissioner. will those two spots be filled with people who are on the wu-khan side of the debate will anti-trust or make it simple, not their side? >>.

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,

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 calls for action to fight the epidemic of gun violence following another mass shooting in indianapolis. a rights group says facilities on the us mexico border been pushed to the limit because so many migrant children are sharing up. a change of the gods time in 62 years cuba will not be led by a castro and the how much in sports vancouver's hockey team is out of action again he cannot to play has been delayed indefinitely after more than 20 players tested positive for corona virus. russia appears to be following through on the promise of action against the us off to washington an ounce to a set of sanctions and other measures against the kremlin president joe biden announced on thursday for what he says is russia's election meddling and cyber attacks well in the past few hours foreign minister sergei lavrov said he would aust 10 u.s. diplomats to leave the country and he says russia is looking at painful measures aimed at u.s. businesses. about it smith who is in moscow for us but it we're getting more information now on who is going to be banned from russia as part of

biden was counsel 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 shuts at the possibility of american has your money instead they count on sanctions and interference in our internal affairs just this week biden and putin talked over the phone to join the conversation the u.s. president and now a new batch of sanctions in putin's face only to express hope later for a stable and predictable way forward and the white house sees no problem here no discrepancy forget proof for good reason forget who's president even biden strategy is to bully a country out of geopolitical relevance and it seems that's the only predictable thing about america left after all trumps anti russia sanctions galore that appears to his whole. term didn't save the ex-president from being shamed for being soft on russia so maybe biden is resorting to nuclear options right away desperately trying to keep one foot in the door though the d

that after a recent spate of mass shootings president joe biden announces his 1st gun control measures he moves to tighten some regulations but warns much more is needed. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us the number of refugees fleeing the military's violent crackdown in myanmar is rising india should india shares a 600 kilometer border with me on mar with strong ethnic and cultural ties between local communities on both sides so india might seem the natural destination for those forced to leave their homes but can those who end up there feel at home we meet one woman and her daughters who have settled in the indian capital delhi a warning some viewers may find this report to starving. for the last 6 years and her girls have felt safe here in delhi but it didn't come easy to get here they had to leave everything behind in their need of man much when he says her husband was tortured and killed by the military. later they were forced to run for their lives after they were caught sheltering students protesting against the military now the situation in myanmar is bringing bac

think he's essentially being run by others in the democrat party who have a goal that i'm not sure joe biden even understands and that is to get as many illegal immigrants in here as possible to make a fundamental change in the make up of american citizenship 1st get the mere then make them citizens and give them the vote well the white house spokesperson is sticking with the democrats sacred mantra children presenting at our border who are fleeing violence or fleeing prosecution who are fleeing terrible search and. it is not a crisis so while the white house scrambles to deal with the crisis one thing is clear while we are here talking the migrants just keep coming up and r.t. new york well i would love to have had your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media leaving comments that will be back at the top of the hour see them. when else truths seem wrong. but also just don't all. let me. get to shape out these days because etiquette and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. ps

president joe biden is promising to raise a limit on the number of refugees about into the united states is back tracked on a decision to maintain a cap of $15000.00 per year posed by donald trump. the united nations nuclear watchdog says iran isn't reaching uranium at 60 percent purity confirming earlier statements from terrell comes as members of the 25th day nuclear deal continue efforts to revive the agreement in vienna which former u.s. president donald trump pulled out from european and russian negotiators are positive about the progress and the head of the iranian delegation says talks are on the right track. of the financial year long since a new understanding is in the offing all sides have a commonality in the a for an object to the part that we have to pay it is now clear to us as we have said many terms are interested in protected negotiations but talks are needed to shed light on old discussions been naturally talks will continue with the talks are now at a point where all sides concede and begin troff to a joint document it can start even though it least in areas that the 2

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

but you know, so what if that joe biden scandal was a little bit exaggerated because senile joe bied enisn't even running the country, you know who is, kamala harris, sorry a pronounced it correctly, forgs of habit. while the vice president is focused on solving the immigrant children at the border, it looks like she is taking a strange approach. >> while kamala harris still hasn't visited the border, her book has, her 2019 children's book superheros are everywhere is apparently included in the welcome bag, that say lousy bag, for unaccompanied migrant kid, did a local volunteer buy the book f so that would mean the vp is making money. >> migrant children get to read kamala harris' pins book included in what can only be called a welcome pack. >> prop gangeda aimed at even children. >> she delivers it to them. >> not quite there. >> she doesn't want to hand deliver it t is in a backpack. >> it is her book, her book is a part of the welcome kit. >> no. >> once these migrant children get kamala harris' children's book which they are giving out, i guess on behalf of the taxpayers, paying

biden dismissed it as a russian plan which was absurd and and now joe biden will ultimately end up paying the consequences i guess we need to wait and see what's on the hard drive or i live in new york and journalist and author daniel is as thanks for joining us thank you. now one of the world's best known scientists shines a light on some of the biggest questions within the universe let's meets american astrophysicist at the old the grasse tyson he's a prolific t.v. and radio show host and also the author of a popular series of science books called cosmic queries the full interview saw the latest edition of going underground which you can watch now on r.t. dot com. powerful elites come up again and again in your latest book trying to trying to stop science as it was very aware about the power of astrophysics if your discoveries conflict with prevailing political cultural religious forces these are forces that historically have always controlled society yeah they'll be resistance for you have to expect that because people in power do not relinquish power easily but at the end of the day o

well you know it is a little bit of a mystery given the fact that we know that lattimer putin and joe biden had a phone call just earlier this week and following that phone call the white house said what its goal was in that call was to try and establish when it comes to russian u.s. relations relations that are stable and predictable and then just days later we have these surprise sanctions so it is a bit of a head scratcher about the timing but what is clear is that the u.s. feels that now is the time to put in place some of those punitive actions against russia that the united states has taken in years and there's another reason they're taking these actions that has to do with the alleged bounties that were placed on u.s. soldiers of up to $100000.00 fighting in afghanistan by russia we should point out russia denies this and we should also point out that the u.s. intelligence on this allegation is of the category of low to medium confidence that it's even accurate still the white house is defending these actions say this on the burden of russia to explain its posture and engagemen

. >> 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
