or in the coming days i will say having talked to him today his his focus is not on politics it is on getting to work and solving the problems of the american people so and as he noted. on the campaign he will wait until sometime into his 1st term to speak more about his political plans moving forward you're thinking the president pledged to do to repair alliances as he planned his 1st foreign trip yes . well we're only set 7 hours in here you're ready for the foreign trip. i'm ready to i don't have any details on a foreign trip to lay out for you at this point in time hopefully we will at some point in time go ahead all the way in the back. row towards the truth because it oh and just so with you to global credit that we're 2 big concerns for pro-life americans the hyde amendment which of course. keeps your dollars and you know very fortunate to be working on the mexico city policy which under the previous

administration they expanded to keep tax dollars overseas. so what are president what is president barton planning on doing in those $200.00 now. well i think we'll have more to say on the mexico city policy in the coming days. but i will just take the opportunity to read mind all of you that he is a devout catholic and somebody who attends church regularly and he started his day attending church with his family this morning but i don't have anything more for you on that go ahead. as president elect he talked about possibility. of having to look at more data does he still feel that's necessary was that included for example anything he said. will stay tuned we'll do this again tomorrow and there may be more specifics to share on plans on covert tomorrow i expect there will be including more details on the defense production. he absolutely remains

committed to invoking the defense production act in order to get the supply and the materials needed to get the vaccine out to americans across the country and remains committed to his goal of getting 100000000 shots in the arms of americans in the 1st 100 days go ahead thanking her own president talking about it. and i've heard some people say oh that's just talk they want to know what action i'm going to see to show that kind of. thing i mean peter mentioned the change. in you can you tell us the kind of action we can expect to see for sure people that he wants to reach out to people who voted for him and people sure. well 1st i think anybody who has covered president biden for some time or worked for him or spent time with him knows that he is somebody who always sees the optimistic side of

working with people who may disagree with him people across the aisle and that is long been his commitment and desire through his many decades in public service so his own history tells you how committed he is but you know part of it is his words which he shared today with the american public on quite a big stage also his actions he has reached out to not just democratic members of congress but also republicans not just democratic governors but also republicans not just democratic mayors but also republicans and he said today in his speech the biggest platform most presidents have through the course of their presidency that he will govern for all americans and you know that of course has to be backed up by actions as you conveyed but he's going to venture to do that in in every policy he pursues every engagement he has because he feels if we can come together will be a stronger country. go ahead jim. the ringback second death penalty moratorium of

distance from. the president as you know has stated his opposition to the death penalty in the past he remains remains his view i don't have anything more for you in terms of future actions or mechanisms that i can circle back and there's more i can share with you later here i'll be he followed from air force one colors. this is such a good question i have not had the opportunity to dig into that today given the number of executive actions orders they not duration a few things happening i will venture to get you an answer on that maybe we can talk about it in here tomorrow. better horrible overlay girl of the year where does the president believe the president needs to be held accountable for recounts reckon. the will to go and do the right to go the water present from people who are holding future federal. well you know he has spoken

very firmly and fiercely publicly about his views of the horrific events on the perfect events on january 6th and he has also of course spoken with members of congress about that as you well know but he is going to leave it to members of congress to. carry out their constitutional duty and determine what the path for it is and what the mechanisms are going to be what the process will be and what the timeline will be and certainly he ran against donald trump because he did not think he was fit to serve in office long before the events of january 6th he is here today because he decided to run against him but we're focusing on moving forward we're focusing on addressing the issues facing the american public and as you know that means we're focused on our covert package go ahead part of all of a little bit jet is the person to go to the 1st of all the progress of the f.b.i. investigation and we know the f.b.i. is leading the investigation into the assault on the household as president via

helicopter incident director rather. well peter as you noted there's an ongoing investigation which we certainly support i'm not sure that he has received an update to date on anything about the investigation but we certainly support those ongoing and we will sure be receiving updates in the days ahead because of the record i think i have not spoken with him about specifically f.b.i. director ray and recent days peter but i'll circle back with the if there is more to convey just can't. mention or try in his inaugural address today tension behind not meeting during his predecessor. well i think the intention was to make this speech not about any individual elected official any current president former president but make it about the american people and the moment we're facing in history right now that the struggles that millions of americans are facing who

don't have jobs the fear people have about the health of their grandparents and their cousins and their brothers and so make it more about the strength of the american people when they come together and not about any individual but as as you saw in his speech it was forward looking it was not meant to. i look back on the past. go ahead i'm going to spend the night in britain to record a united team and around the world and what is his priority teagle really. well his priority is 1st rebuilding our partnerships and alliances around the world and regaining america's seat at the global table and you can see that is evidenced in his rejoining the paris climate agreement rejoining the world health organization his plans to engage with partners and allies and work together to address many of the threats and issues we're facing around the world but i think

that is what you will see as his focus in the weeks ahead they. think is the biggest thank you everyone let's do this again tomorrow. so that is the 1st briefing from biden's white house that is the press secretary general psaki speaking to reporters that we can bring in mike hanna he's joining us from washington d.c. so mike she started out by saying that she aims to rebuild trust and said it's ok that there will be when her in the reporters see things differently and it's quite a change from the last administration. well very much a change and certainly the idea of holding daily briefings has fallen into disuse for a period of time now under the previous administration here you've got jen psaki sarky actually committing to holding daily news briefings not she said on saturdays or

sundays insisting she's not a monster but certainly the commitment to truth and transparency clearly important to the biden ministration the new press secretary wanting to get off on a right start so to speak to insist that what will be happening in that briefing room is dealing with truth is dealing with facts is dealing with data she emphasized that on a number of occasions as to the content of a briefing world there was a lot of material in there running over the executive orders that president biden assigned earlier in the evening his 1st act on entering the oval office also putting some clothes on the proposals that are happening now for example rejoining the w.h.o. was one of the executive orders we heard from the press secretary that this is going to be starting immediately that within the next 24 hours dr anthony found she the top leading u.s. health official will be taking part in a virtual conference with the w.h.o.

so all of these things happen very quickly indeed as well and i must notice well while all of this is being going on that president biden's 1st cabinet secretary has been confirmed by the senate every hanes has been confirmed as the director of national intelligence so all of this is moving very very quickly indeed the executive orders have been spun out of. has already been sent to congress to do with immigration the coronavirus relief package the 1.9 trillion dollars package so it's all moving very very quickly even before president biden has finished his 1st day in office. ok mike thank you very much for wrapping that up for us from washington d.c. let's bring in bill schneider who's a public policy professor at george mason university who's joining us from washington as well hi bill thanks for your time with us on out of his era let me just bring up one of the points that jen psaki was referring to in that press conference and she said that the president president biden wakes up and goes to bed

thinking about one particular priority and that is be a coronavirus pandemic so looking ahead what is the challenge that biden is going to face when it comes to getting congress to back his 1.9 trillion dollars packets . well it's a big spending package and the republicans are likely to object but the fact is this is a national crisis that all americans recognize they lost patience with president trump because he really didn't have a national response or national policy to deal with covert even though it is a terrible problem that's affecting americans all across the country shop never really treated it as a national crisis has hit the ground running he insists it just is a national problem and he's going to have a national response and he expects congress to cooperate with him on that is a real change and what do you make of the fact that one of the reporters also.

jen psaki about so whether democrats should drop the impeachment trial because we know that the senate is going to be holding an impeachment trial when it comes to the former president donald trump is that going to hinder joe biden's work going forward. well it might be a problem for a week or so as the trial goes on i don't think congress the senate intends to extend this trial for very long because everyone recognizes the divisive date sure of these charges but there was a surprising amount of agreement after the attack on the houses of congress just 2 weeks ago a surprising amount of agreement that trump had incited the violence that's what he's accused of that's what he is being impeached for that's something that's simply intolerable in american democracy for a president of the united states to incite people to commit acts of violence and i think the president president biden kurdistan's that there must be some consequences realized for actions like that even though we did hear from president

biden and jen psaki referred to this in a press conference where she said that biden had said that trump had written him a very generous letter and he left it in the white house because of course we know they're not attend biden's inauguration. i don't know what to make of that because i don't know what's in the letter right it's described as very generous we don't know we expected at some point to be made public if it was generous good for president former president that it least he showed it a spirit of generosity if that is indeed what is in that note but we just don't know what to make of it because we don't know what's in it and how do you think that the president is going to be able to unite america we keep saying that it is a divided country and we know that 74000000 vote for trump so what does biden have to do in sort of order of priority. what he has to do is deal with national

problems as what they are national crises and he listed them jennifer precisely listed them just now she talked about immigration policy climate change the pandemic number one policy and of course economic relief all of these are real national crises in politics a crisis is an opportunity it's an opportunity to lead and one would hope that the president acknowledges that in the face of a crisis you have to find unifying themes about bringing relief to americans about building jobs about doing something we're about the problem of climate change and doing whatever it takes to stop this pandemic those things are not divisive the policies do not have to be divisive and i don't think president biden intends to to engineer a divisive policy towards those things president truck was an unusual president in that just about every policy he supported divided the american people he deliberately divided the american people in

a way that no other president in my long experience has ever done i don't think president biden intends to do anything like that. thank you so much from washington sure were earlier we spoke to the host of the bottom line i'm the editor at large of the. i think right now the priorities are trying to try and return america back to you know a normality that it had and that the strident positions of not only talking about you know immigration from our southern border as if it were a war a national security threat and diverting funds to build the wall but the muslim ban so he has you know dismantle the so-called muslim ban he is immediately said stop funding any money on the wall he has basically rolled back many many different

environmental i mean he wrote an executive order on environmental regulation but it covers a vast number of chemicals and you know requirements for power plants and emissions that donald trump had deregulated during this and so there are so many different areas that in the 15 executive orders the dollar trump signed today you know i was calling this the day of reset i'm now calling this the day of whiplash everything donald trump had done that that the biden team thought was most outrageous they put a stop to today and so it's like coming to a big hole to begin grounding you know getting a different grounding and moving in a different direction and i think tomorrow you're going to see of you know another set of executive orders 10 more executive orders signed you know the deal with cohen vaccines and others to really deal with what they see is the deficit in planning and management of the trumpet ministrations well world leaders have been reacting to joe biden's inauguration they united states southern neighbor was among the 1st to react mexico's president is calling for immigration reform the cases

even as they were ready we have been proposing that our countrymen who have been working for years should be regularized contributions to the development of that great nation so i hope this will be reaffirmed today or in the near future by president biden it is good for mexico it's all transitional u.s. allies are celebrating biden's multilateral approach france germany and nato are all welcoming the departure of donald trump the e.u. commission president hailed it as a new dawn. joe biden social will be a message a feeling for deeply divided nation and it will be a message of hope for a world that is waiting for the u.s. to be back in the circle of like minded states this time honored chad rommany on the steps of the u.s. capitol will be a demonstration of the resilience of american democracy and the

resulting proof that once again after a whole long years europe has a friend in the white house so while there is hope across western capitals others are more cautious china's foreign ministry hopes for a collaboration beneficial to both sides adding it would protect its sovereignty russia says it's ready to have constructive dialogue taking mutual interests into account palestine's president expressed readiness for a comprehensive and just peace process but hamas which controls gaza says it doesn't regret trump departure because he was a real and direct partner of the israeli occupation the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is confident of continued u.s. supports congratulations president joe biden and vice president come allowance on your historic inauguration president biden you and i had a warm person friendship going back many decades i look forward to working with you

to further strengthen the u.s. is reliance to continue expanding peace between israel and the our group and to confront common challenges chief among the threat posed by iran i wish you the greatest success god bless the united states of america god bless israel. well the iranian president hassan rouhani says they would welcome the u.s. returning to the 2050 nuclear pact adding that donald trump's decision to withdraw and his aggressive policy sense have been a complete failure. embryo's that is immediate the ball is now in america's court and if they return and apply their commitments we will also conduct our commitments trumps political career is dead and the nuclear deal lives on his entire efforts were put towards getting rid of the accord and he was unsuccessful let's bring in p.j. crowley who's a former deputy white house press secretary in united states assistant secretary of state for public affairs he's joining us from alexandria in virginia thanks for your time so we now know that the president biden will have his 1st call with

a 1st foreign leader with canadian prime minister justin trudeau that will take place on friday and the white house press secretary said that joe biden's focus will be regaining america's seat at the global table how does the president go about doing the acts for i think even in 7 hours he's at least lowered the temperature. and the heat of 'd the rhetoric of the last 40 years. got helps a great deal but as as you've been alluding to. the the issues that he'll confront going forward are extraordinarily complex they are pretty politically fraught particularly when it comes to something like the iran nuclear deal but i think he's going about these things with the expectation that to the extent possible you know to work multilaterally has to be there as opposed to your working unilaterally or

bilaterally to try to solve as many of these as possible given all the domestic issues that joe biden will have to deal where do you think that he'll even have time to get engaged in world affairs. well the crises that the bye to ministration has identified are gar global issues they start here in america but they have world implications so i do think that you know for example the pandemic you know trying to find ways to accelerate the distribution of the vaccine here in the united states it does have a corresponding international imperative because ultimately until the world is safe the united states is not safe so i do think that when it comes to you know the pandemic you know the economy. there there are immediate opportunities for the by the administration to reestablish calm constructive you know dialogue

with partners around the world and and to see where we can establish some early momentum and how do you think sort of other countries around the world are now looking into the united states because we've had 4 years of a president who pushed for an america 1st policies and more or less disengaged in a way so how as an american power do you think been undermined by trump's policies of america 1st and has it sort of pushed other nations to put themselves 1st. well you know i mean look i mean a president is elected. by the american people to serve the interest of the american people you know we we've fought of presidents traditionally as leaders of the free world donald trump was the 1st one to see this role as the american president and as a global leader as mutually exclusive you know joe biden understands they go hand in hand because in order to solve problems that have great impact here in america

you know there have to be you know global solutions to many of these problems you know climate change immigration you know among them so i do think that he he is going to serve the interest of america but he sees that america's interest you know corresponds to a global interest and he's going to seek to work in you know constructively with america's partners and friends and see if if there are a multilateral solutions as many as can be achieved right p.j. crowley thank you so much for speaking to us from virginia a question of president biden has said tackling the pandemic will be his top priority the u.s. is facing the world's worst outbreak recording 400000 deaths biden says that the crisis is far from over we need all our strength to preserve it to persevered through this dark winter. we're entering what may be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus. that was set aside politics and finally faced this pandemic as

one nation. one nation. and i promise you this. is the bible says we be man door for a night but jory cometh in the morning we will get through this together together. joely fisher is the director of the elizabeth r. griffen program and george sign university medical center she says there is hope the new administration could put forward an official plan. but the federal government really can only mandate public health actions on federal lands but i think it's part of sending a larger message sending a message that masking and other measures to try to stop the spread of this virus at a very at a time will recede in cases climb higher than ever before it is not shouldn't be political it's part of a joint action to do what we can together in the u.s.

and globally to stop the spread of this virus in till we can get vaccines rolled out and protect the whole population it's really about this administration and president biden committing to bringing federal resources to bear on making the vaccination rollout as effective as possible one of the challenges in these early days has been that where doses became available it's been difficult in some communities and in some states to say they're distributed efficiently and by making this pledge by pledging to bring federal resources to help set up vaccination clinics and by providing technical expertise and resources to the states and the communities that really need them it's a signal that it's not just every state and every community on its own but it's trying to bring the scientific expertise that the u.s. has to bear on the problem of how to do this much more efficiently and we end this bulletin with images of what's been an eventful day for the united states take a look suggests

a cause. we love you we will be back in something if i. can see tiger exhibit a quick. break. robin it by doing you do solemnly swear. the 46 president of the united states needs or was has a duty and a responsibility as citizens as america especially as leaders leaders who have pledged to honor our constitution to protect our nation to defend the truth and defeat the lies. a born.

in. an. there you see the. age i mean the loss we carry a scene we must wait to leave braved the belly of the beast we've learned that quiet isn't always peace. may god bless america and may god protect our troops thank you america.
