well what we've heard from joe biden but more specifically from his white house communications team is that this is a white house focused on the future not the past in many ways this is a distraction from the policy goals of joe biden as long as the senate is embroiled in a trial dealing with the matters of the former president it cannot deal with the matters of the current president namely getting his $1.00 trillion dollars coded relief package through the congress and also it doesn't allow for the senate to confirm months members of his cabinet including the attorney general so this is a problem for the white house they want to see it wrap up as quickly as possible they also know that given the fact that joe biden was in the senate for many years himself 36 in fact this is something that is a largely political in some respects that the senators have already made their minds up and so the white house is looking for this to be done as quickly as possible now in terms of joe biden specifically he has really shied away from commenting on what he thinks he should come should be how the se

or joe biden is insistent that an organization is going to go ahead do it regardless of any threat that may be offered to it biden incidentally received his 2nd dose of the coronavirus vaccine in the course of the day as to the impeachment of donald trump yes basically staying out of it saying that it's up to congress but he did float the possibility that if there is a senate trial if president is impeached by congress that the senate could possibly work half the day of the trial the other half the day pushing through his agenda so certainly joe biden insistent that the inauguration will go ahead regardless i can i would the latest here from washington d.c. mike thank you. was mike was mentioning there the u.s. state department has there's a gated cuba a state sponsor of terrorism a statement from secretary of state mike pompei all said cuba has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism by granting safe harbor to terrorists but also accuses kubo of harboring american fugitives wanted it for political violence now the designation subjects cuba to new sanctions on ex

some kind of a history and he said that he believes joe biden to be much more well versed in foreign policy and understands foreign politics much better than donald trump so there is a sense of optimism that the 6 months that this ronnie administration has left there could be some kind of. easing of tensions at least before iran has its next presidential elections so we're just hoping for the best at this stage but this latest claims are going to be completely dismissed by iran and seen as very ridiculous at this stage. trita parsi is with us now executive vice president of the quincy institute from washington d.c. trader nice to have you with us and it is no surprise i guess bad that secretary pompei wants to focus on iran it has been a focus of the state departments and it's day one however the fact that he went to such specifics about individuals and sanctions alike and didn't really seem to back any of it up with actually any hard evidence or that is his modus operandi if there are as many lies as possible makes it really difficult for people to sort through what is lie and what

yeah this is a call to action by joe biden the u.s. president but it's also recognizing that the united states plays a pivotal role in terms of leadership and so this is what this message was it had really 2 messages within it one for the international audience for world leaders that are gathered here at this summit it resolving to take action the united states saying it's leading by example making that announcement of cutting its own emissions up from the targets of the obama administration so this is the sort of 1st part of it and it is also to let people know that as we've heard from joe biden repeatedly america is back to the 4 years of donald trump and denials of climate science have come and gone but there's another message tucked in all of this too and that is for the domestic audience the fact is that if these lofty goals put forward by the us president are to be met it will mean a significant change of american patterns in terms of their energy use specifically when it comes to the type of cars that they drive because right no

really trying to distance itself from this knowing that americans did not like joe biden to talk about donald trump but to turn the page and move forward very briefly as i said the president popped up in the middle of that to oversleep more important things on the president's mind he was talking about me i'm on sanctions. you know this is exactly an example of what the white house is trying to focus on and so joe biden who is now we should point out headed over to the pentagon his 1st visit as commander in chief wanted to discuss concerns about a military far from the united states specifically in me and maher and the coup as the way house has said that has iraq respected the results of a democratic election and a week ago joe biden out saying that if there were not officials released in me and more as the white house called on them to do by the military that there would be appropriate action will now we have an announcement of that appropriate action sanctions by the united states after consultation again with capitol hill and what we know is that that burglaries or rather i mean more

do you consider joe biden legitimately elected as president? >> joe biden had more electoral votes than just arizona and pennsylvania, and with the certification that took place that day and with the swearing in today, he is the legitimate president, and we must do the best to find common grounds to work together. i do believe, though, that there are certain irregularities that existed in our election system. we need to make sure that we solidify the integrity of this system. as you know, in the last couple of weeks alone, there have bee arrests in texas and louisiana for election fraud, and there are tens of millions of americans who are concerned about the integrity of the system. so, you know, i'm a proud co-sponsor of a new bill, the state of democracy act, that will look to further solidify the integrity of our system, make sure that we do have voter i.d. laws, making sure that we don't allow for automatic voter registration with a foreign document, as is going to happen in the state of new york unless the person opts out when applying for
