joe biden should be impeached. speaking of impeachment, they have no moral standing on this issue at all. joe biden made a phone call with a formula about quid pro quo for military aid. here's a piece to the phone call here. i need not tell you the perception around the world in afghanistan, i believe things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban. there is a need whether it's true or not, to project a different picture. that sounds like joe biden trying to pressure the president of afghanistan to say something, the country was stable and that may have gone people killed. he was threatening to withhold air support for that. sounds like a quid pro quo, right? i like something that impeached, something that actually never happened? biden has an actual quid pro quo, no impeachment. here's the media calling for trump to be impeached in his quid pro quo. >> with rope pool at the center of his impeachment inquiry. >> there was a quid pro quo. it's been clear for a while, clear as day. >> after reject

joe biden has taken his place in the oval office signing a string of executive orders and making key appointments to put his agenda into action. talks to you about the availability of vaccines and whether germany will have to close its borders to prevent the spread of the new variant. good to have you with us a new chapter is beginning in the united states president joe biden has already started doing some of the policies of the trump administration on his 1st day in office he rejoined the paris climate accord and the world health organization he also ended a ban on travelers from mainly muslim countries. in his inaugural address he called for unity and a change in tone. you know how to get to work. with president joe biden arrived at the white house ready to roll back the policies of his predecessor. within hours of taking over the oval office biden signed a stack of executive orders resetting the agenda only coronavirus pandemic immigration policy and climate change. we're going to. grow here. we're going to rejoin the climate of course. as a. fellow to wearing a mask he ordered al

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

he said the last debate with joe biden to the proud boys stand back and stand by. then he said everyone come to dc on this date and then he goes out and speaks to them and says march to the capital and fight. then i know he did basically what i did, although he said he would march with them he didn't and we did not expect them to but he went back to the white house and everyone knows his executive time is watching tv. well i was trapped in the lincoln room i also had a tv and i could see the chaos that was going on. what's very unsettling as he sat in the white house, watch what was going on and did not lift a finger to protect the white -- i mean, to protect the capital. that is very disturbing and that's why the next wednesday when it was time to vote on impeachment i voted that was my last vote as a congressman because there has to be consequences and repercussions for leading an insurrection in this country. president or anyone else there is consequences. we impeached him. fast forward to yesterday, the last wednesday, it was a great moment. you heard a man tal

well i'm not sure if this part of you know joe biden's. evolution as a politician or if it just as going you know beat him to want direction or. if he is this is simply an empty vessel being filled by a divided political party going in different directions i mean the whole idea comes of the model idea about joe biden's mental health it is an interesting also become a controversial issue because on the political left this i know this is a conspiracy in oregon the easiest series fully there but the conservative media and us is quite insistent that you know again he's i'm to mess all these he doesn't know much these his condition is the climbing quite rapidly and being influenced very much proud people and it's all now again you can try to look for objects the ways of assessing this again he's out of the public for very long time this is again it unusual also it's worth noting that i think if i'm not mistaken he hasn't had his own press conference now for much if anything he's more than 60 days very very unusual. you can see that if if there

the best buy's president barack has ever had mr joe biden. biden looked resigned to never quite reaching the nation's highest office and tell donald trump came along that's why the day i'm announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. president we have to put with his decades of experience biden said he was the man to restore america's standing in the world that he was the man for the moment i'll be a president will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over he promised to show leadership in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic it's estimated that nearly another 210000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year and nuff no more let's just set partisanship aside let's end the politics and follow the signs. ultimately the voters agreed electing by the nation's 46th president but the election was divisive and his opponent donald trump refused to concede instead pushing conspiracy theories about his loss biden refused to engage with trump's attacks s

joe biden's and donald trump's first news conference. what a big difference, joe. >> you can talk, i think most importantly, about the tone of it. you know, even trump supporters by the end were talking about how exhausted they were by the man, by the tweets. many voted -- >> some, yeah. >> many voted for him because they were voting against who they considered to be extreme democrats. but it was yesterday, even if you didn't agree with joe biden ideologically on every point, even if you were concerned about maybe his position on some issues, chances are good if you're an american and you were watching that, you noticed a change of tone. you actually heard somebody that was trying to bring americans together, somebody who said, i've been elected to be a problem solver, to bring this country together. as opposed to, again, donald trump being extraordinarily combative. a couple weeks in talking about no president's ever done as much -- again, it was just -- it was all about him. it was all a bunch ofs lies. it was intended to divide americ

joe biden has grown up in that. fran townsend tells about being in the early days of the bush administration and explaining how the bureaucracy works, she said it's like a box you drop a penny in and it bounces and comes out of a slot and you're not sure which one. joe biden knows where the penny is likely to come out and if he doesn't he has people working for him. >> o'donnell: and many of the biden officials had served in an obama administration and many are foreign policy officials who worked in the obama or white house national security apparatus. let's bring in margaret brennan who covers the state department for us and is the moderator of "face the nation." where do you see the big changes in terms of national security and foreign policy? >> well, norah, you put your finger on one of the things that even fellow democrats criticize the incoming administration for which is they need to see the world as it is, not how it was four years ago. and you heard the president in his inaugural address actually indicate t

well wouldn't you know it turns out sleepy joe biden is well still sleepy and it's becoming increasingly hard 2nd or which is probably why half of americans don't think he is mentally fit to be president according to a recent rasmussen poll and it's not exactly surprising it's been 7 weeks since his inauguration and it's hard to shake the feeling that he's being hidden from the world in a basement and when he is released into the public chaos ensues he forgets the names of people he himself appointed like defense secretary lloyd austin there who we recently referred to as that guy running that outfit over there and i want to thank the. former general i keep calling him general my mind you know the guy who runs about if you know his handlers panic any time anybody might god forbid ask him a question and he constantly loses his train of thought while reading from a teleprompter it's been 2 months and he has yet to give a news conference or answer any meaningful question but one time he did agree to some live questions the white house instantly interrupted the fee and it's not like the medi

an opportunity where joe biden can talk to those americans that you're worried about that there can be a reset in this country may not be combined but at least get to really realize you're on the same boat well i think that's one of joe biden's you know greatest strengths is he he speaks directly to those people he has throughout his political career that's why president obama put him on the ticket for 8 years and you know i think that the question is can he do more than speak to those people can actually do something for them and i you know i think that remains missing i think he's right to pollute the democratic party has turned into an elite party the republican party is becoming and working class party and the challenge of the republicans is do expand the base from white working class to all working class and you saw some examples of that not only with president trump doing better but also with different folks who from a wide variety of backgrounds who won as a republican so listen i think spike can speak to it bill lloyd be able do i think this is a party has become very elitis

well, we just heard a very passionate speech from us president joe biden. the speech was concerning the very controversial rules. many republicans around the country are setting in regarding voting. many republican legislatures in states across the country are looking to to, you know, pass measures that they say are aimed to curb voter fraud. joe biden sees it rather differently, and he gave a speech that is certainly the most and sleepy speech we've heard from him. so far as president, take a listen, freedom is not a state. it's an act. freedom is not a state, it's an act. and we must act and we will lack car causes. just our business. hearts are full of people for democracy. for america itself, we must, god bless you all, may god protect our dreams and all those you care to watch over the market. round the country, we have republicans proposing laws, they say say are aimed at essentially preventing voter fraud. they're requiring new forms of voter identification. they're regulating the polling places. in some places, there have been laws proposed to restr

[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

celebration joe biden faces no easy task i have to get down to work what will be his biggest priority as he gets started and he has a very ambitious again agenda takes office today and he will start right away signing executive orders number one will be re entering the paris climate agreement so climate change is high on his agenda he wants to also undo the so-called travel ban for muslim countries one of the executive orders that trump issued his point in time and then he will certainly have a very difficult start because he inherits several overlying crises cold with 910 democrats one the economy with lots of unemployment here in the united states and evictions moving and and poverty on the rise and of course then politically also the united states are as divided as they haven't been since the end of the civil war and joe biden wants to try the 2 sides here together he didn't use all of our salat standing by for us there in washington where the inauguration will get under way in a few hours thank you very much. well donald trump has arguably been the most divisive president in live

now a lot of putin and joe biden have held their 1st phone conversations since the new u.s. president's inauguration and they touched on a number of hot button topics is more pain explains. well the phone call was initiated by joe biden and it seems that much of the call focused on these start treating this is one of the nuclear agreement that was signed between the usa and russia at the conclusion of the cold war and it limits the number of nuclear weapons and nuclear delivery systems that both the united states and russia have now in the trumpet ministration period there were a number of nuclear treaties that expire the clear skies agreement expired the i.n.f. short range agreement expired as well and the new start treaty was scheduled to expire on february 5th but from what we understand there was an agreement on the phone between joe biden and between russian president vladimir putin that the the new start treaty which is set to expire on february 5th would be extended this is the summary of the phone call that we heard from the kremlin the president's expressed satisfac

he responded in strong terms to us president joe biden. the norfolk is twitter of playing a fundamental role in manipulating protests in the country. let's listen to him. i called on twitter and i also called on the u. s. government to recognize or deny that political operators actively use tags, collectives or groups of robots, trolls. so i use a coordinated with automated main to flood the networks, etc, etc. and they saw peroration against cuba. they're all they mean the economy was also fundamental matter. let's remember, cuba has been in a grave economic crisis since the start of the pandemic. and even before that, due to the titan, us embargoed during the pandemic, the u. s. government to low and approve more than 50 measures related to that. and meanwhile, the countries paralyzed with low financial inflows and the need to tackle the pandemic. this resulted in food shortages, as well as a lack of some medicines, as most resources within to treat patients with covey. 19 cuba is now at the peak of the pandemic. and medical personnel on

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

do you think joe biden of us this is some of my other guests as well do you think joe biden would specifically explicitly reference that name which we're all wondering what do you say that speech we know he'll talk about unity but it would be kind of hard not to at least think about what happened he will certainly acknowledge it in some way what what exact. explicit words he uses to recognize the event that will be interesting to hear but i think you know the calmness and the lack of people at this event that should be very crowded is of course a function of both the pandemic and the security threat and i expect he will pay homage to both of those irregularities let's talk about the other people who are not here and that is the trucks. i have been watching a lot of us television news what i've been hearing that would i keep seeing some networks call it a historic snow melt it is he is the 1st president not to attend his successes. you know gratian since i think it was 869 correct so it is historic do you think people american observers will care in the end or is this actually the day to move o
