and the problem is that joe biden has not a good agenda. you know, when he came in, people were talking as though he would be the next fdr or lbj, but he didn't have fdr or lbj majorities. so now what's the most common met for used? jimmy carter. jimmy carter is synonym for haplessness you know with inflation. and i think afghanistan was particularly brutal because it's not a right or left thing. i think a lot of people just have the impression that the job is too big for joe biden. he is not up to it. >> mike: obviously the year ended on capitol hill not able to get the build back better act across the finish line. house speaker nancy pelosi says they are still going to try to get it done in 2022. let's play it. >> first and foremost, we will -- we will continue to fight to pass the legislation. this will happen, it must happen. we cannot walk away from this commitment. the build back better is about transforming our society. >> mike: mollie, do you sense they will get something done it will be drastically scaled back? >> there is always t

joe biden has given many speeches, this was his first as president in that forum. it is a process that will be coming again this january. president biden is about to deliver his first speech to congress and final preparations are under way at the white house where we got a rare chance to report from behind the scenes of this address, with key staff prepping in the west wing during the pandemic as others work remotely. >> there's a huge amount of energy around tonight around the building because of the pandemic, of course, we don't have the full staff on site that we would normally have in a normal year. we have grown accustomed like everybody in the country doing office jobs, we've grown accustomed working by zoom. >> kate bedingfield and general psaki expect a historic speech, including the empty house chamber. >> the empty room is about responsibility. interacting with people for him is a huge part of how he draws energy. so it is a challenge. >> how do you convey energy through a speech like this to a room that's mostly empty because of safety protocol? >> you k

biden would carry. if they do that, then we have a real problem in our democracy. >> nawaz: david, to put a finer point on that for anyone not tracking over the last year, there have been massive efforts to restrict voting across the country in 2021, more than in modern history. according to the brennan center, between january 1 or december 7, at least 19 states passed 34 laws restricting access to voting, heading into 2022. 13 states will be considering bills to consider restricting access. 25 states enacted new voter protections in 2021. so, jonathan, that's at the state level, but at the federal level, if the government can or does not cod phi voting access, what do you worry will happen -- codify? >> that goes back to the original answer and that is i fear for our democracy. we saw the gutting of the voting rights act almost immediately offa supreme court decision was handed down, particularly southern states moved very quickly to institute voter restrictions. so if the federal government, if congre

joe biden was vice president than are we seeing the same kind of weakness vacillating now? >> listen i think joe biden is always going to lead with diplomacy with that being said i don't think he's a president that is afraid of using a stick if a stick is necessary. what the differences going to be here as this, joe biden's going to build a global coalition is going to make sure he is working with nato commies working with our european allies comics work with countries in the west. we are moving together. we saw this this past year when they decided as a bullock they would not be attending the winter olympics in beijing. our athletes in the western athletes will be that western diplomacy will not be there. diplomacy is always going to be the first step for this president i do not think he is afraid she's a stick of a stick is necessary. gerry: guy very quickly we are the biden team was very critical in how they donald trump treated allies by the biden team is not exactly treating america's allies all that well either up or they see very, very alarm or what happened in afgha

president joe biden tweeted "betty white brought a smile to the lips of generations of americans." he said she is a cultural icon who will be sorely missed. hollywood actor ryan reynolds, who starred in a film with betty white, said, "the world looks different. she managed to defy excitations. she managed to grow very old and somehow not old enough." debra messing tweeted, "i grew up watching and be delighted by her. she was playful and daring and smart. we all knew this day would come, but it does not take away the feeling of loss. a national treasure." michael schneider is from an entertainment magazine "variety" reflecting on betty white's career. >> we don't use the term national treasure lightly, but it definitely applies in the case of betty white. we have never known to them should without betty wright. she was there like you mentioned at the dawn of tv. some of our favorite shows over the years, golden girls, maybe 10 or more, she was a part of our life -- mary tyler moore but she was a part of our life. >> i think she had been living quietly at home during the pandemic but

all right, of which again, joe biden is the, is the, is the emblematic expression. so we'll have to see, does it translate into the thing? i suspect it may not translate into very much, i'm not convinced that there will be a war against china or russia. i think on the country the west at the moment is on the back foot. and i think we maybe i'm being too optimistic that i, we do see now a return to the multilateralism which rusher in particular has been asking for now for, for well over a decade. chelsea, i'll give you the last 25 seconds of the program. go right ahead. thanks, jones upset you write false is the ultimate decide. and so we should be very glad that the m team period is camp, is strong enough to defend itself and fight back. we only need to look at the difference between what's happened to north korea and what i'm to libya to understand what happens when people who want to be independent to so on themselves . now, very too tragic examples to think of at the same time here as we close out the are many thanks them i guess in paris and in bristol. and than

biden is hitting a resistance with joe man manchin's resistance to the build back better plan. do they still believe that the best way forward is to push it through in one reconciliation package. >> i think that they are hoping that the brick wall right before t and once the congresspeople return in january, and people have a time to pull a, and so i think that both the senior white house officials, and the senior dem krafks have had a-- democras have had. and you have heard the democrats talk about the pieces need republican help to pass it, and when you are down on the nit ti credit like the child tax credit, and paid family leave, it is hard to get 50 plus republicans, fand with this done is to work ing and to keep quie and continue to work with the caucus to make it work. >> and is it an open for the democrats or instead an opening. another vote that will need to be looking at is georgia's governor has signed a new law to flip at least one conand of course, lucy mcbath, and caroline bordeaux would be forced to run against each other. is there a path for voting rights? is th

we had donald trump and we haven't had joe biden. do you have a sense of how she read the trend? you know, the strengths and weaknesses of the american leader? she was dealing with. who did she like the most? well, 1st of all, she reveres america. she attributes to america per 2nd chance as, as a, as a free woman. and as a politician because she, she was a scientist only because she had chosen science as a safe place to park her or her brilliant mind. and she is really in and out of the reach of the police state. so she had she had on our wall a picture of a bush, the elder and a reagan who were her cold war heroes. she had a personal, she had great personal report. this may surprise your, your viewers with george w bush and they click and, and that had real time results. they only overlap for 2 years, but, but they continued to be friends. she had a rocky relationship at the beginning with bark obama, although they are much more liked than she and george w bush. they're both cerebral and they're there. they're both people who don't really love politics or politicians. but she fo

a joe biden suggested, you know, this is a big deal. well, and that's the key to this, you know, baron, on this side of it though, why would the olympics actually be there in the 1st place as this is nothing new? as far as you know, with the olympics being there, you know, and the kind of what's going on. i think it's important. we got to look back at history. you know, if you look back in 1980 you had jimmy carter that boycotted the olympics in moscow . the following year you had russia who brought in 17 other countries boycotting the 1084 olympics. and ha, and 8 years around. we've got another olympics in elaine, so it'll be interesting to see what happens from this. stay tuned, but one of the things that's actually really funny about all the scottie is that even if the diplomats were going to go and you know, let you know, in this case, maybe forfeit their front row seats. beijing is not letting anybody go into the stadium except the chinese spectators who need specific hold requirements. so it's one of these things like i can invite

the infrastructure bill debated on capitol hill right now, joe biden is not donald trump and yet he sold the bill in a trump way, the saving grace for americans, a way to w bring back the american middle class. no one is talking about immigrants. immigration policy almost as retrograde. how do you turn it around? build infrastructure in this country, how do we change the politics here in the united states? >> i think we have to separate and bring together infrastructure and immigration because there is proposed reforms around trump's draconian immigration policies that are broader than the current emergency level continuity around what's happening at the southern border. trying to manage the flow this incentivize and dissuade people on crashing the border because they already have so i don't have total sympathy has been handled but you can understand you don't get to start a new and there's millions of people lining up and waiting to come into the country. that said, that would be discounting and ignoring what biden is trying to do around extendingg, allowing thousands o work which would

senator joe manchin of west virginia who has tied to the coal industry. roughly, $555 billion was earmarked to shift the u.s. from fossil fuels to clean energy that included tax incentives there was also a $12,500 tax credit for buyers of electric vehicles about $12 billion aimed at making buildings more energy efficient. more for research on clean technology like pulling carbon dioxide out of the air parts of this could be passed outside of the full bill all that spending hangs in the balance. ven venture capital is spending on clean tech that will increase in 2022 in 2021 there was record investment of $60 billion. a 210% increase from the previous 12 months climate tech now accounts for 14 cents of every venture capital dollar according to pwc. the average deal size has nearly quadrupled >> wow at the same time, we didn't see good performance in solar or a lot of the clean tech names this year what are some risks for next year >> one red flag to watch, supply chain issues, as with everywhere else and rising costs for terms. especially in the solar indu

so another member of the audience asked, who do you think is president joe biden's best friend. >> well, if you ask 100 people very close to the biden orbit, they will all tell you it's ted coffman, his chief of staff for 22 years, not only worked with joe biden but would take the amtrak back to wilmington where ted also lived. when ted was living in wilmington, then vice-president biden says i need you in washington, i don't want to see ted die, alone, will you come to washington and be with me, he sat there for 120 days in the oval office and whenever biden needed him for a comforting word, a meal, a walk, he was there. and today, he sits in wilmington and is always available when biden calls. i think biden calls a lot. he was the first nonfamily member to sleep in the white house. he's a lovely man, gotten to know him very well just on the phone. and i wish i could write about him. i really do, i think their friendship is extraordinary, both at a policy level -- if you read richard bancramer's book, "what it takes" you'll see the role ted makes in the campaign, when he says, get out,

and why i'm saying that when joe biden is coming a few weeks ago to europe, to the nato summit, he is talking about china. he's talking about china that is in the south pacific. no, that's not the north atlantic. that means that our defense issues to day are not related only to d environment in a north atlantic, but our world wide. and there, there is a need to reform the nato into a global work alliance off democracies. and that unaccompanied mental scale. that means that in the north american continent, the asian continent, european continent has to do a real effort to create defense communities to defend or liberal democracies. so the nato is today still an aligns of individual countries. and what i thing is that we need to trans to tense form it into a real alliance of continental defense communities, defending liberal democracy. you want to reform nato. you want to reform rules inside the european union. you want to change the unanimity row. you want a lot of reforms and you want a federal, a federal europe at the end of it, a sort of one size fits all. it's what if you don't get

joe biden's a hypocrite. a year ago the president-elect said the vaccines should not be mandatory, though with millions of americans reluctant to get the shot, his administration mandated workers at large companies get vaccinated or at least tested weekly. the supreme court will hear challenges to those rules in about a week. republicans all say this gives them an issue in next year's midterm elections. >> the covid, the lockdowns, restrictions, vaccine mandates, people are recognizing, and i think it's going to be the defining issue next year and why the republicans will take back the house at least. >> reporter: the biden administration argues it aggressively pushed vaccines. the cdc reports more than 200 americans are fully vaccinated, and that has kept and will continue to keep americans who have this virus out of the hospital. he says he's also assured hospitals have the equipment they need to confront surges. >> my administration has stockpiled and prepositioned millions of gowns and gloves, masks and e

power or joe biden owes power to give. there's really a mismatch of having an enormous invasion force on the border of ukraine unless you negotiate this complicated long-term security treaty with me, not the kind of thing that happens in a short period of time. he's demanding concessions that are literally never going to happen, that nato would never be operating in any country in the sphere of what russia considers it influence and so what worries me and what makes a military threat seem possibly imminent here is the fact that it's hard to see how one could even accede to any of putin's demands. how do you get to yes when the demands are so unreasonable. >> and they have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes the last couple of weeks. nobody is totally sure if they can thread that needle, if they can. susan glasser, i know your report will go tell us if they can over the courts of the next couple of weeks. thanks very much and happy new year. >> thank you, happy new year. >>> lawmakers return next week with a lengthy

joe biden was very upfront about the fact that we wanted a woman of color. listen, there are probably 10 million women of color who could be doing this job better than her. but at a time when americans are getting crushed, it is not reassuring to see her take a question on inflation and react to it like a stoned kid who did not expect to run into his parents when he came home that night. she really does look like the welder, like, what are you doing here, inflation? it's embarrassing for her, but it's scary for everyone else. >> kayleigh: you have a wild radio show, jimmy, don't think you snuck that sniffing gas, and passed me. i picked right up on it. kennedy, look, it is astounding how bad of a communicator she is. i think about what an asset vice president mike pence was it was always a message and he was out there and you can count on him. for a national political figure to not be able to answer so elementary, it just continues to confound me. >> kennedy: you know, kayleigh, i have a soft spot for hoosier politicians. you had me at hello. he was at the m
