point >> michael, does biden's vocal support and changes of the filibuster mean anything? obama, now saying he supports it. >> you know, i think it means something in the rhetorical fight of the election year. but, the democrats keep making, in my view, to mistakes strategically. they pick fights they don't have the votes to win. the majority they have is kind of an illusion. they have a partisan majority, not ideological majority. beyond, that when they do go for something, they go to big. which pushes their conservatives, their mansions and their cinemas, or their conservative democrats, in a vice, and creates these problems. i thought manchin was on a good track with this compromise bill on voting rights, so it's not as large as this one. this one is really large. i think there are some flaws in it. i wish the republicans had embrace the manchin thing, because there is now, as a conservative it's hard for me to say, but there are bad actors in there, in some states. so, we have to federalize some things to guarantee elections. we also have to pass the electoral -- this

good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> carley: good morning, michael. the biden administration doing a big, old victory lap but the headlines from "wall street journal" yesterday says the southern california ports are struggling to the cargo backlog of the omicron surges and the article says before pete buttigieg in california, so few dockworkers that operations were effectively halted. what is going on here? >> it is way too early to declare victory and it is getting much worse. over 100 vessels waiting to get in. it is actually faster to get to the east coast of the united states instead of california. we are open in florida and hopefully the administration will take some of those potentially available dollars and invest in supply chain routes in florida. we didn't get any money in the last round. i'm sure a bipartisan delegation in florida is expecting some dollars to come to florida. you need to invest in other supply-chain areas, not just california and the problem has not gone away. the prices are going up and people are still seeing if you just g

this >> michael, tomorrow president biden will be speaking publicly to the people of georgia and. we will see those remarks. what does he need to say? >> i think he just needs to pull back the veil the curtain if you will. on how he sees what they're going through. how he sees there holding on to this sort of trumpian notion where they don't seem to be that upset about the jordan legislator changing the voting laws there. there were people in the streets or protests are calling for the heads of elected officials who dared to change the voting process in the state. to make it harder for seniors and african americans and others to vote. i think speaking to that in contextualizing that more broadly is going to be an important first step here. right now the, democrat narrative is all wrapped up in a policy debates. that is outside of what people are really concerned about. the whole thing with manchin over the summer. if voting is the key essential thing, then go right to the heart of that. you just can't now after 11 months go oh well voting is important. >> let me add something to m

. >>> michael, does biden's vocal support for changes in the phil buster mean anything? o'bam a now saying he supports it. >> you know, i think it means something again in the rhetorical fight of the election year, but the democrats keep making, in my view, two mistakes strategically. one, they pick big votes they don't have the majority to win. they have a partisan party. when they do go to something, they go too big, which pushes their conservative. >> you know, i thought manchin was on a good track with his compromise on voting rights. this one is really large. i think there's some plays in because there is new so we got to federalize some things to guarantee elections. we also have to pastor the college in, they be can exploited by add actors. so they go too big on having theish ou to take to people to issue to take to people. >> mike murphy said get it done. when we come back, making his moves a little more consequence with the election now months away. we're talking d.j.t. ay we're talking d.j.t. and also try alevex topical pain relief. you could be working with so

alaska michael. i keep seeing a lot of conservatives and centrists, saying biden went too far to the left. david burke was like he needs to move to the center. what does that mean? universal pre-k is hugely popular across the board. voting rights are not a left or right wing issue, michael. >> i'm not one of those conservatives that believes biden is gone too far to the left. i think biden, to put nani -- he said it. the guy is in the senate, he's always been there. he's a traditional democrat in that regard. i think the reality of it, is how we begin to talk about it. projecting with these policies are. this is where the counter narrative, coming up against the narrative matters. where you have folks on my side screaming, oh my god, socialism! socialism! >> -- did she get her measure caid payment in time? did you get around employment? because that socialism. if that's how you're going to put it. i think, it's how we talk about these things. the rioters screaming socialism should not be enough to co

republican congressman michael mccaul says president biden is playing right into vladimir putin's hands. >> i think this president has made so many concessions with nothing in return. that's why putin smells weakness. he wanted this and i talked about it for a long time. his legacy issue. if we don't provide that deterrent he will go in. >> harris: in a few moments pentagon spokesman john kirby will be in focus and hear directly from the administration. i want to go to jennifer griffin reporting live at the pentagon. jennifer. >> we're just getting the first images of new u.s. weapons shipments landing at the airport in kiev. these images are coming live from kiev's airport as a plane carrying assistance that includes 300 javelin anti-tank missiles that we've been seeing loaded onto pallets and u.s. transport planes in recent days. it is part of $200 million in security assistance that president biden has directed to ukraine. the pentagon has told u.s. troops and their families to prepare to deploy in a matter of days in the event that a nato response force is ordered. such a force coul

he was sort of saying to everyone, michael, "calm down". joe biden is still saying he expects military intervention by russia, he now thinks next month. has he kind of positioned things well in this particular crisis after the embarrassment of afghanistan? he does at least seem to have got almost all the allies singing from the same hymn sheet. even germany, that we thought would be an outlier, was saying, "no, no, we're pretty much going to back the americans on this." well, you know, this is very... let'sjust go back in this crisis. it's two months, which is a long time in twitter time. _ the first anybody heard about it were unattributed briefings - in the washington post, new york times about l this troop buildup. this was not coming from kyiv. i mean, we didn't hear cries - for a little international support because the russians . are going to grab...look like they want to grab some more of our country. - and i think people need to remember about whojoe biden is. _ this year marks the 50th year that he will be in public life. l he was

but on this story first, we begin with former rnc chair michael steel who supported joe biden and our washington correspondent. michael, your thoughts about a time where there is a lot of effort for be accountability but with so many things in the law, it's not always going to be a clear cut answer can you get every single person to comply. >> yeah. that's true. i thought you laid it out very well, ari, in terms of what this looks like. not just in terms of the legal aspects but also some of the politics that sort of buffet the legal guidelines and rope lines here. the truth is two approaches, one is the chairman's approach of the january 6th committee. that is to get to the facts. right? just the facts man. we want to find out what they are. and expose those to the public. the second is the defense against that which is what jim jordan is posturing over right now. and he knows that there is no precedence here which is why i said this is unprecedented. there is no precedence here. there is no precedence because we never had members of congress engaged in this type of action against th

general michael flynn was there and trump campaign lawyer janice ellis. in wisconsin today, a big lie purveyor ron johnson announced he is running for reelection for his u.s. senate seat. oh joy. thin there is his republican colleague josh hawley. remember him? hawley has escaped any real consequences for trying to overturn the electoral college vote and supporting the insurrectionists, despite the blatant fist bump. i mean even his brother in arms ted cruz admitted that what happened on january 6 was domestic terrorism. until that is, tucker carlson on fox bullied him into back down live on air. >> it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the capitol. where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this capitol. >> you called this a terror attack when by no definition was it a terror attack.

we just had president biden's summit for democracy. i am interested in your summit -- assessment of what that achieved and what it did not. yesterday's response from president xi jinping and resin -- russian president vladimir putin was their own virtual counter summit that i am tempted to call the dictators club. what do you make of their response? give us your assessment of the summit president biden hosted. michael: first, isaac it was a great idea that he had the summit -- i think it was a great idea that he had the summit. some said it was inappropriate. i disagree. it brought attention to it. david, you and i are talking about it now. we would not have been talking about democracy without that summit. so, that might be a small bar to get over, but that was important. second, i do think that the administration did a pledge to do some new things on a variety of issues, supporting independent media, fighting corruption, and, usaid in particular, isabel and samantha power put together an impressive package, modest in my view in terms

michael, you gave biden a b, what went into your decision? >> considering the fact that while tackling covid he did the infrastructure plan, the rescue of america plan, you have to accept that he's done a really good job t in terms of legislation, until youob accept the fact that he has never been to west virginia since he presidency. not been to arizona. and not used his bully pulpit effectively. when you have joe manchin and senator sinema blocking voting rights he should take it directly to the voters. he needs to use hit bully pulpit as hard as he possibly can. he's kind of like using this senate tactic where he wants to be friends with everyone. when it comes to fundamental rights it's not about friendships, it's about making sure everyone counts. >> he'st'ou describing the thret accurately. the speeches he gave on january 6th and the one in atlanta were spot on, they o assessed the concerns that we all have about the democracy that we're witnessing slowly being choked to death by republicans and state d legislators. but at the same time

michael, you actually gave biden a b. what went into your decision? >> considering the fact that while tackling covid he also did the infrastructure plan, the rescue of america plan, i think you have to accept he's done a really good job in terms of legislation, until you accept the fact that he has never been to west virginia since he started his presidency, not been to arizona and not used his bully pulpit effectively. when you have joe manchin and senators sinema blocking voting rights, he should take it directly to the voters. he needs to use his bully pulpit and use it as hard as he possibly can. that's not what we're seeing. he's kind of using, like you said, the senate tactic where he want to be friends with everyone. when it comes to fundamental rights, this isn't about friendships. bits making sure everyone counts. >> and he's skying the threat accurately. the speeches he gave on january the 6th and the one in atlanta were spot on. they assessed the concerns about the democracy that we're witnessing slowly being checked to death by republican

i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. it's a big weekend in the nfl. but i'm not talking about football. it's the biden administration. and by now you know the president's week was a disaster. covid is not contained. the messaging is a mess. and the supreme court struck down the president's employer mandate. supply chain problems persist. inflation is at its highest level in 40 years. build back better is nowhere. any effort to protect voting rights lacks the votes necessary for a filibuster carveout. and there's a question how to react to russia, amidst reports that it's ready to raise a false flag as a pretext to invade ukraine. it's enough for biden to be envious of boris johnson. against this backdrop, hosting a byob garden party while the rest of the nation is in lockdown, that's a walk in the park. no wonder the president's approval rating according to a survey released by quinnipiac university stands at just 33%. the white house response was to argue that quinnipiac is an outlier. and that the real number according to a 538 average is 43% approv

my relations with each michael it's a been warm and friendly. i've been aware of the great honor to maintain -- he made the announcement alongside president biden. the remarks are about 15 minutes. pres. biden: good afternoon. let me begin by recognizing both dr. breyer and dr. biden, for being here. this is sort of a bittersweet day for me. justice breyer and i go back a long way. all the way back to the mid-1970's, when he first came on the judiciary committee. but that's another story. i am here today to express the nation's gratitude to justice stephen breyer for his remarkable career in public service and his clear eyed commitment to making our country's laws work for its people. and our gratitude extends to his family, for being partners in his decades of public service, and particularly his wife, who is here today and has stood by him for nearly six decades with her fierce intellect, good humor, and enormous heart. i thank you. the country owes you, as well. and stephen breyer's public service started early. he served in the u.s. army as

. >> and yet doctors michaels and carolina, president biden pushed back on what's the new normal, right? >> that's correct. the president, you know, he's promised we're going to defeat the virus, and yet asked today by our own peter alexander whether the coronavirus was with us to say, he had a bit of a different answer. take a listen. >> no, i don't think covid is here to say, having covid in the environmental and the world is here to stay, but covid, dealing with it now is not here to say. the new normal does not have to be. we have so many more new tools to deal with. >> here you have him saying well, it's not here to say and then it's not here to stay as it currently is. we're in the middle of omicron. the president says this is going to get better, but he's under a lot of pressure to figure out whether they're going to move into a phase where we are learning to live with coronavirus in some shape or form or he's going to stick with his line of defeating this. now, he has had a little momentum in one of the aspects of the administration's covid response. today the administration sig

michael, i want to play you a clip from a few days ago. take a listen. >> do you want to be on the side of dr. king or george wallace? do you want to be on the side of john lewis or bo connor? do you want to be on the side of abraham lincoln or jefferson davis? >> some of the president's allies thought he might have gone a little farther, but others say it was exactly what he needed to put out there. could you put that into some historical context, what we heard from president biden? >> i thought it was very much called for. and, jon, i know you come from lowell, massachusetts, one of my favorite cities. you've got a new maier up there, excellent new mayor, from everything i've heard. you went to lowell catholic. excellent. you were taught about lexington. lowell sent a lot of union soldiers who fought in the civil war for freedom. if historians look back on this week in history, what they're going to look back on is the fact that the danger signs are blinking for democracy. our elections are in jeopardy. the democracy -- the cornerstone o

. >> thank you, michael. >>> one year ago tonight president biden was newly inaugurated. what does he need to do going forward? >> a bill advancing in florida that would bar schools and businesses making anyone feel discomfort when they teach or train people about discrimination. so now you can't teach the facts if they make people uncomfortable? >> this is governor desantis trying to stop the teaching of true americans. our black history is apart of that history and as my white counter part are apart of that history. ♪ was like any other... ♪ new vicks vapostick. strong soothing vapors... help comfort your loved ones. for chest, neck, and back. it goes on clear. no mess just soothing comfort. try new vicks vapostick. - oh...oh. - what's going on? - oh, darn! - let me help. lift and push and push! there... it's up there. hey joshie... wrinkles send the wrong message. help prevent them with downy wrinkleguard. feel the difference with downy. ♪ if sweat is your body's natural way of cooling itself down, then condensation is a beer's natural way of saying “drink me.â

michael, the phone call with biden, we kept hearing this invasion may be imminent but zelensky's comment, people seem to be going about their lives business as usual. >> yes, stephanie. there are two parts to this. one is i think regular ukrainians, and richard can speak better to this because he's there, but my sense is they have lived under the shadow of these constant russian intimidations and threats for years and there's a kind of fatalism that's set in, a sense they can't run around in a panic every time things look bleak, although i will say this looks much worse than anything we've seen in many years, so it does seem to be different in kind. then there's the political leadership, and i think this has become a great frustration to the biden administration and democrats on capitol hill, trying to figure out why zelensky seems to be preaching a different message than washington and its western european allies. part of the effort here is to make people understand how serious this is. europeans who might be a little more relick tant to impose sanctions that could take a toll on their

michael, looking at this big picture, president biden denouncing without naming him president trump in the speech. >> he sure did and deserved. worst attack since 1814. the briltish burned the white house and capitol but they were foreign enemies. this is not a spontaneous crowd. we learn more and more. many recruited by sorel media and seeing evidence that they may have been helped by sitting members of congress. this may have led to an assassination attempt against mike pence and or nancy pelosi and most important there's beginning to be evidence that ties this in president trump. if that is all true this was a coup detat and may have been and don't know for certain may have been inspired by the president out quite donald trump or those around him and what it shows is continuing danger we suffer with which is that the democracy is a flame fickering. we have to protect it. >> phil, we saw a contrast in the president's presentation yesterday going after the predecessor. is that going to continue or is that a pivot for the moment and now going to move on to voting rights and as he allud

michael o'hanlon, as always, thank you. president biden said he believes putin will move in he's got to do something, as the president put it what did you make of that? >> i disagree with that, i don't think we have any real reading on putin in fact, president biden himself seems to acknowledge that later when he said i don't think putin's made up his own mind, but coming on the aftermath -- >> but he said he's got to do something. >> exactly, there gotta do something, i'm not sure what he means. does he somehow sympathize with putin's position even though this is a crisis of putin's making i don't think he has to do anything a lot of what he's trying to do, putin, is to generate this crisis and this attention. it's a very dangerous game, even if he has no intention of invasion because he's strengthening the western resolve to punish him. on the other hand, he's changing the conversation and he probably feels we have been in this half pregnant state of promising ukraine nato membership now for 14 years. it's time to resolve

united states and our allies are certainly aware of, and we're going to respond in force as president biden made clear last week. >> michael crowley, you were in berlin, in kiev and in berlin with secretary blinken when he was trying to pull together the nato allies and smooth over cracks in the allies, particularly germany, and france. we saw some of that when you and i were in geneva as well. let's talk about germany because my reporting is that germany is having an internal debate right now over whether or not to improve the artillery that estonia wants to survive which has german made parts, and their export controls on arms are similar to ours that germany has to approve it if somebody wants to sell to a third country or provide to a third country and that there is some push back. i think the americans would be very unhappy if germany comes out front and says to estonia, you can't provide it, but they are taking their time. it's been three or four days now while estonia applied for them, and they haven't done that. and france, macron trying to suggest that the eu and france have their

. >> biden added that putin would regret such a move. and -- michael mcfaul was gonna join us on the russian threat. meanwhile, the supreme court handed a major blow to president trump, in the january six information got a good break. they blocked trump's request to block the release of trump's records inserting the capitol -- riot they called it a victory for the growl of law and for democracy. earlier tonight, they confirmed that some of the material that trump wanted hidden, has already been released. >> some of the material has already been received at the committee. i think it's very important that this material will start pouring very soon. documents, videos, notes, logs, etc. we'll be getting the visitors logs, the call logs, the outtakes for the videos that he made as people were trying to talk him into asking the mob to leave the capitol. and will get the picture of what happened leading up to the riot and on the day of the riot. >> the company is already issued to more subpoenas to far-right activists nick fuentes and patrick c

former republican national committee chairman michael steele and jason furman from the chair of economic advisory and dr. amesh adalja. peter alexander, big day and big night at the white house last night. those comments from president biden came a few hours after this tweet from ukraine's president zelensky writing, we want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and no small natios just as the there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones. peter, the president and his team are making every effort to clean this up last night and today. >> reporter: yeah, andrea. that's exactly right. even before that two-hour news conference wrapped up t president said the severity of the punishment would depend on how big the invasion by raush into ukraine was. he said it might be a bigger circumstance if it was a minor incursion as he described it. you just read the words of volodymyr zelensky of ukraine who said there's no such thing as a minor incur. press secretary jen psaki tried to clear things up. she e said the president has been clear with the

> we're seen as weak right now because of president biden. his comments about a limited -- limited invasion was somehow acceptable and that nato was divided. this president has made so many concessions with nothing in return. that's why putin smells weakness. >> so far with this administration we have seen a doctrine of appeasement and that is not going to deter president putin and russia from invading ukraine. >> harris: joey jones fox news contributor. your top line thoughts. >> we have no business going to war with russia when we don't know if our government would ever support our military in doing so. the last 20 years would argue the most we would do is appease some faction of our country that might want war. allow a bunch of folks to die and have no resolution at the end. our government has shown it has the political will to see something through the american people shouldn't support it moving if in that direction. >> harris: are there tinges of what we saw and the loss and pain of our exit from afghanistan here? >> that pain and heartb

i'm talking about this and so much more with michael saylor. also i'm sharing my takeaway for president biden's demand to take away the filibuster to gain more omnipotent government. that nobody wants. we'll be right back.

and the west. >> what do you mean by that, michael? >> i mean it sents a chill down my back to say this but i think this is the option pew tan made sure. he knows he will get away with it. i hate to say it and respectfully to ukraine friends and the president, i think it's so bummed out. it's heavily regarded by a territory that's dispensable. the other sign we're seeing has a lot of monitors and they've been blocked on a daily basis right now. the only thing i can see happening now is they are p blocking them in order to bring in this heavy weaponary. putin has opinion given out passports to aresidents. now he has a further pretext to say they need to be protected. >> we heard from the white house that they say we're conveying that now is the time to leave. telling american stcitizens the should leave ukraine. how much is influence bid what we watched in the summer from the evacuation of haafghanistan. the decisions we're making they're trying to avoid that in and around the region? >> flst a bit kind of served as a tellmplate for how

i do not think joe biden is doing the job right now. we have 2 million people who just walked over the border. nobody with a love for america would allow drugs to come into america. no president would give our energy independence away and go tie van, that says debt to america and buying energy from them. i think trump has a lot to run on, those things especially. i did not see joe do one thing. check china out. why did he sell it to china? how come nobody interviews that? where is the irs on that? but if it was donald trump, you would hold him hostage for four years. he did a great job and he loves america. americans first and america first. joe biden is america last. he does not love america. host: in michigan, the democrats line. caller: basically, i have a comment. donald trump is guilty of insurrection against the usa, resulting in multiple deaths. him and his inner circle should be hung or imprisoned. goodbye. host: which 2024 candidates won 2021? i want to read you some of what they had to say about the candidates that we are talk

. >> michael? >> george, thank you. >>> as you said, president biden's comments on ukraine raised a lot of questions. the reaction overnight was immediate. our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is there on the ground. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. that's right. an adviser to ukrainian president zelensky telling abc news the shock and dismay about biden's comments that seemed to suggest a green light to a minor russian invasion. i think that reflects a wider mood of concern. one senior ukrainian military source saying it is so frustrating and, of course, all of this making secretary of state blinken's job in berlin today all the harder where he is meeting other european foreign ministers trying to forge unity and a strong message to moscow. this, as russian brings more forces and equipment amassing around ukraine's borders. this coming from the baltic states with american approval. not only anti-tank missiles but the lithuanian defense ministry telling abc news

. >> so michael, let me turn to you. we have just had president biden's summit for democracies. i would be interested in your assessment of what that achieved and what it didn't. i would also like to ask you about yesterday's response from president xi jinping and russian president vladimir putin with their own countersummit, called the dictators club. what did you make of their response and give us your assessment of how the summit with president biden went. >> first, i think it was a great idea he had the summit. some people thought it was inappropriate. i disagree. david, you and i are talking about it right now. we wouldn't have been talking about democracy, wouldn't be having the this conversation without that summit. second, i do think that the administration did pledge to do some new things on a variety of issues, supporting independent media, fighting corruption, and usaid, iz beth and samantha powell put together an impressive package. it was modest from my view in terms of the numbers, but they're obviously trying to push and do something to renew our commitment to sup

he is also a former member of the biden transition covid-19 advisory board. professor osterholm, you predicted the viral blizzard the omicron variant caused. what are your expectations for when this surge will end? >> i think collective as a nation, we still have a few weeks left. but as you have already alluded to, there are some areas of the country that are already seeing the number come down quickly now. what we are not sure is how long that tail is going to be, meaning increased cases even after we see the peak of the surge. if you look at south africa right now, cases there are still about 15 times higher than they were before omicron started. so, number's going to come down a lot but i don't think it is going to go away quickly in terms of large numbers of cases, yet. >> on friday night, i spoke with a data cruncher who -- who is suggesting and wrote an article suggesting that once the omicron surge subsides, it may be game over. that the combination of the people who are vaccinated, people who have been infected already, as well with the development o

michael burgess of the doctor's caucus and. dr. burgess, the biden vaccine mandate essentially takes place today. enforcement won't come until february 9th. do you worry that the supreme court is making decisions on vaccine mandate based on factual errors? >> it is unprecedented to have a national vaccine mandate. states can mandate vaccines have in the past historically but there has never been a precedent where the federal government for all 50 states levied this type of draconian measure on people. look, am i grateful there are vaccines out there? you bet i am. i think they changed the nature of this illness but that doesn't escape the fact that the federal government does not have the power to do this. if it is done through a federal agency heaven help us. one more reason to dislike osha and people will very quickly make their feelings known about that. elizabeth: yeah. we understand. basically making osha a new public health authority, right, over the pandemic. they can make regulations without notice and without any judicial
