♪ ♪. kennedy: oh baby, let's do this welcome to it. remember when the biting administration promised transparency with a pledge to tell the truth and let the facts lead the day. what you might want to lay down on your fainting couch because that is all turning out to be a steaming hot pile of malarkey. according to a not at all surprising but infuriating report, the white house communication team is asking reporters to submit their questions before briefings. why? of course they can cherry pick the ones at mcdill biden look good and ignore the ones that make him look like a doctoring

old fool. and steer a debate in a way that science dissents but because that is what status autocrats to buy their port claims the white house on occasion probed reports to see what questions they plan on asking. you white house press secretary jan saki when called upon during briefings. this theme, pissed off that their words not mine enough reporters for some of them to raise a red flag weed administration had a printable response saying the practice was designed to make things better, saying in a statement quote our goal is to make the daily briefing as useful for the reporters and the republic. what if meeting that objective is regular engaging with the reporters will be in the briefing room to understand how the white house can be most helpful in getting them the information they need. that is a two-way conversation is important part of keeping the american people updated about how government is serving them. you will ask no questions.

remember how hard the press tangled with the trump press secretaries, it was like a mortal kombat every single day. at least they held a briefing. but at least they took the tough questions so we'll biden's team ever did the same? let's meet tonight panel, some of them have expertise in this area, let's discuss and got better and fox news contributor katie pavlich, no stranger to the white house press room. we have reasons editor peter suderman no stranger to fantastic beards. in obama state department secretary spokesperson and fox news contributor she's be on the receiving end of some very tough questions, marie harvest back everyone. >> a kennedy looking fabulous. >> would look like sisters. so katie i will start with you. you have been there. i know what they are going to say, i don't have a problem with the communications team and the white house talking to reporters, taking the temperature trying to figure

out where best to allocate their resources so they focus more energy on the stories and questions that are going to come up. that is not what is happening here. when you have to submit your questions in advance, it is so those questions can be screened. and that is to insulate and protect the new administration. and that is propaganda. >> yes that is not uncommon for a white house press team or state department press team to get to know certain reporters and where they're interested for their some reportedly white house press corps harm oranges and business topics, others interested in foreign policy. that is not uncommon. but for the white house communication team to ask for specific questions that need to be screened in advance is wholly inappropriate. and on the other and the press has like zero credibility with the public right now. and so this idea they need to separate themselves from any kind of assertion or looking

like they would be an bed with the white house press team in the sense of getting questions ahead of time, giving them some benefit of the doubt in terms of being overly prepared for these briefings. but i'm not surprised in the first two weeks of the new press team, given the way the briefings have been going with the lack of information and answers that the deputies who are working for the press secretary would be going around trying to get more information and questions. but again, asking for specific screened question to something the biden campaign did, right? on the campaign trail is inappropriate what comes to the government press relationship. kennedy: i'm glad you brought that up. this press corps should not be surprised by that, peter suderman. they were essentially offering themselves as a shield to candidate biden to make sure he was not really pressed and scrutinized. but after the trump administration i was hoping

that there would be a little more adversarial relationship between press and president very think that is incredibly necessary. you see this as being appropriate or inappropriate? >> i definitely sing as being inappropriate. it's just unacceptable to ask reporters to submit questions in advance. the white house communication knows that pride they also know that this is the start of a new administration in which let's just say the relationship between the press and donald trump was at normal. and so there is some hope things are be a little different. in a lot of ways things go back good and normal part of the normal state of affairs between the white house communications team and the white house press corps is the communications team is going to try to get away with stuff. they are going to be not like donald trump was, low-key, unethical, they're going to test the limits. there is good news though.

the good news is that the white house correspondents association's hearing complaints about this. not just hearing them in private but that they are leaking. the white house reporting team here is using the tools of journalism. clearly someone leaked to this, they wanted people to know that this was happening and they were upset about it. i think that's good, that's a sign the white house reporters are taking this seriously. >> i think that's great. they also the same kind of issues with the obama administration. and the press should push back here, marie, i know you have been in some of those tough briefings. and of course it would be great to have all the questions ahead of time because you know exactly what you're getting into. we don't get that in life, we should not get that impressive briefing you should not get it on tests. you don't get the questions in advance. >> that is actually not what we're talking about here.

first of all then saki has done a great job of bringing back the daily press briefing and actually answering reporters questions every single day that's really good for our democracy. they are not screening questions britta someone who sits at a podium every single spokesperson of both parties i have ever known has a process where the morning of a briefing you see what topics reporters might be interested in. not so that you can screen them towed so you can be ready for them. kennedy: there's a big difference between submitting question and say what you interested in asking? there is a difference there. and it's what it's been reported. >> let me finish her candidate. this is the practice of every press shop of both parties have ever heard. and look, reporters are free to ask whatever they want when they are called on. and so this really is from my experience a way to make sure that you know the information so every time you are asked a question in a briefing you are not saying i don't know. and look, jenn is doing a

great job. i think this is a controversy that people went in search of this not actually real. >> i'm going to circle back with you on that. actually people in this press corps know that if they throw softballs, they are more likely to get called upon. you do not have the absolute blowhards trying to start a fight in order to get more face time. because that is not going to play with this white house and this communications team. but you know, you should at least be able to take all the slings and arrows that should come your way and help your relationship between press and president. meanwhile president biden today signed three more executive actions that essentially dismantled president trump signature immigration policies. that brings a new president to 43 executive orders and actions in his first 12 days on the job. are more than president trump and obama signed in the early days of their presidencies. in the "new york times" urging

him to slow down, buddy, a new reason article also warns quote, every faction thanks its agenda is importance. in its ideological foes do heartbreak that is why political parties oppose each other. if the refusal of lawmakers enacted policies is just a justification monarchy is now -- democrats have controlled the white house, and the senate. if they want legislation passed, why not just of the old-fashioned way? that is how babies are born pretty today the president addresses growing concerns, watch. >> there is a lot a talk with good reason about the number of executive orders from not making new law and naming bad policy. what to do is taking on the issues that 99% of those blessed president of the united states

counterproductive is who we are sick country. kennedy: to summit getting buddy feel better? pick up the mask for 30 seconds. as joe biden become the tyrant he's coming president trump was, katie able start with the appearance back well almost 50 executive orders in two weeks is quite a lot for a guy said wanted to work with republicans. he said he cannot be a dictator go around congress. a lot of this is going to be pushing back on his agenda part he already has a loss on the board met comes one of his executive orders and saying them to stop deportations for 100 days. texas sued over that and one. and now the ones he signed today setting himself up setting up a border crisis by saying the policy is the last administration that make you wait and don't allow catch and release in the country are no longer available crisis they

don't want to handle in the year they are supposed to be focusing on covid relief. kennedy: what does congress do, peter with immigration they wait for the president to write a few executive orders and then they sue that president. which is a weird. it seems like commerce should have a vote here, have they forgotten what they are supposed to do? >> is not just they forgot what they are supposed to do, it is congress. look at how many years since congress passed a budget for its most basic thing congress is supposed to do. and they don't do it. instead they wait until the deadlines, sometimes until the deadline is past and then they call it off anubis i did since last december republicans did this it's a bipartisan problem.

you have a three-part system in which of the executive branch and the legislatures. and one of those parts just doesn't do its job. so as a result the executive branch steps in. part of the reason they step and is a members of congress. and it's a bipartisan problem it's not specific to joe biden. it's a members of congress treat the presidency as an elected cost plate king chris not fully king but he said wearing the cape now. [laughter] [inaudible] and it is bad for democracy. the system that was designed by the framers was for each branch to protect its own prerogatives. in congress just isn't doing that. instead was doing consistently with his were not going to do anything here that's not our problem it isn't our job. will of the courts and executive branch of the president figure this out on their own without us.

>> that is why congress is less popular than cold sores. marie harf, i understand president biden for some immediacy in terms of litigation. it's more confusing a more dangerous when you have, illegal immigration doubling, tripling in just a few short weeks. should it congress act as an peter's port to on to clarify the immigration system? >> yes congress should act. but joe biden had to act immediately. because the immigration policy they put in place were in some ways the most inhumane, the worst policies. so joe biden was elected in part because of his promise to immediately roll this back. but the signed unite separated children with their families, whether it's putting a halt on deportation, making sure we're doing it in a safe and humane way. we have to do both in congress

should act on a whole host of things. and odd. joe biden has a responsibility to make sure we are living up to the values and protecting our country under immigration policy that's what he did today. kennedy: unfortunate as egg and the zack of the pendulum swinging from one to another can be done so easily with executive action can be undone just as easily. and that means there is a policy failure here. so congress get up off your keister's and act for the pattern turning in a little bit, california governor gavin newsom is falling pullovers adding fuel to the republican-led recall effort. now he's got is one gop challenger former bolton state mayor just announces plans to knock out newsom. but is the biden facing his first crisis puts them on a collision course with china pretty will just stand up to his old buddies the chinese communist party? we'll take it all on, stay

would vote to oust him from office of the ricoh call qualify sprit that is looking more likely. the voters will get a chance to decide is the effort is very close to the 1.5 million signatures needed. but rivals of the goldilocks governor are not waiting until then put my next guest formally threw his hat in the ring to replace gavin newsom today the first major elected official to give him a child. here's me now former mayor of san diego and given to a candidate kevin faulconer. welcome to the show. >> it's great to be with you thanks for having me. specs i think gavin newsom is a failure. he sucks as governor. he is not good. it's not just the pandemic. why are voters in the golden state so fed up with him? >> you hit the nail on the head but is not just the failed covid response, the shifting regulations, the terrible rollout of the vaccine, it is because the

host of other issues the governors is actually failing on. i highlighted a bingo one of those today the factor california public schools, on like public schools across your country of not been safely reopen. our private schools are open, kids and teachers are back in person and learning. but yet gavin newsom has failed once again on his promise open schools by february. i've talked a lot this morning about the california comeback. because it is time for the state to come back, get us back on track. in my group you, i think the recall is going to happen. i can't tell you the momentum that is in place across the board by the way. it's the democrats, republicans, independents all want to change. >> is like the bill the blowsy of governors pray that's a sad state of affairs pretty bring up something very important, that is the public schools. the public-sector unions unions in california are so incredibly powerful. that voters don't elected governors.

governors are essentially anointed by the unions. so how can you get elected without them? >> were going to change that. i got elected as mayor of san diego proud republican and a majority democrat city because you speak up for what you believe in. your principles and values, guess what people are going to support that whether there democrat, independent or republican. the fact of the matter is, when we look at what is not happening in california public education, we are seeing that frustration that anger. it's from parents across the board. they are saying newsom you have failed pretty want a change we went to get somebody in the that has a little bit of experience. when i was at mayor at the beginning part of this pen they go unchecked pandemic of san diego work with my police officers union, the firefighters union, libraries, reference we got them back to work safely parade there's no reason the cal for a public school systems are not back in the classrooms per that's not been a priority. kennedy: let me ask you one

more thing that is been really critical and awful for the state, it's not just people living in california. it's a big businesses like tesla and hewlett-packard. what is your pitch to them to bring them back to the golden state >> first inform us that we value you, you are important. not having a government takes you for granted per that's exactly what is happening here in california. look, a lot of states are glad to take a great company and our innovation. kennedy: taxes is like come on through. >> texas, utah, florida you name it. how about a texas says hey state. support lower taxes and reduce regulations in california for one thing. so how did you tackle homelessness in san diego? that was one of the few cities where you actually came up with some good ideas. because obviously san francisco from newson has been a dismal failure. not to mention eric garcetti. >> i shook things up in a

kennedy: imagine being harassed, jailed and poisoned into a, by a murderous dictator. but loving your country so much she returned knowing it means certain imprisonment probably death. imagine what backbone that would take. and that is alexei navalny. he is the russian rabble-rouser's been screaming into very dangerous megaphone for years about the corruption and treachery in putin sedan priest jailed in 2014 for allegedly outselling heavenly intolerance and lumber from a state run company. it's russian maybe he did, maybe he didn't who knows but the european court of human rights declared that trial a hoax. then alexei navalny was sentenced to five years in prison. descents started the intake rep foundation which you can imagine is hardly encourage reading in putin's book club priest run for mayor of moscow but he was forced by fsb goons

to vacate the city leading up to the race in obsolete state run media was going to make him canon of the week. eventually as dowson diane antiseptic and poison goes one other time before almost entering the big siberian sleep last year when he was appointed with deadly soviet nerd nerve agent nova talk about the stubborn bear to comfort two weeks and nearly killed impaired while he was sleeping he did not check out this parole officer. and that is why when he girded his lloyd's return to the motherland and the kangaroo court than to attempt to nephews behind bards. so what happened when he was taken into custody? holy hell has taken loose and protest all over the seven union they've arrested nearly 6000 protesters and journalists. it is exact outrage and outpouring he was counting on. how many people would kick the hive and the return to the hornets debt destiny name of

frieden. he has been bold and cackling for years now at the time 2014 when he bought stock in state run russian oil companies as a shareholder he could pointedly question leadership. that is just slightly more sophisticated than storming the capitol claiming are the new speaker because you put your feet on nancy blows his desk. there has been outraged the international community and the western champing of call for his immediate release as well as the release of those detained in the skirmishes. the l.a. think that will amount to change his dissatisfaction reaches critical mass and the pot boils over from within. even if alexei navalny has disappeared he's not going away. his story are impetus for something very dangerous and very necessary. because screw russia, and that is the memo. make no mistake, putin is bloodthirsty and will do anything he can to put alexei navalny and a pine box but is there any chance to biden steps up and fights for the

skies freedom question at the party panels back, katie pavlich, peter suderman and marie harf. paris i'll start with you. this is a very sad story. but what can the u.s. do about if anything? >> and the courage of alexei navalny to return, his wife and his supporters who have also at times been arrested and roughed up it is extraordinary. i think the biden administration has already, the taken very tough stand there looking at options for the traditional sanctions, what that might look like. think they're going to be pretty quickly on this. as ashley heartened that on a nether issue the coup in burma they move very, very quickly to call that a coup. that is a good sign the process is working. so i think in russia i think we will continue to see them make a stand and soon take some sort of action. because this is the kind of behavior that dictators do in

places like russia. putin is famous for it. i'm happy to see the biden administration standing up for human rights and the rule of law. kennedy: we should all be standing up for journalist, peter. but i don't think russia's was scared of anyone at this point. they have no problem rounding people up i get saudi arabia or turkey. and there on the un security council parts of the un is not going to do any thing about it. >> yeah, they rounded a bunch of people upward but one of the points that's been made here that's really powerful is that if the people make their voice known. if the russian people speak out against this in protest, and they do it in mass and in unison, they can't arrest everybody. i don't know if you watched or read the speech that she gave today after his sentencing, it was incredibly powerful. both as a statement of values and what's a good government

should be. and also as an indictment of putin. and how he has behaved. this whole episode is a reminder of a couple of things. one issue should be intrinsically distrustful when presidents like donald trump just act really cozy towards russia. and the way trump acted towards russia was inexcusable in so many ways. also critics of trump who said oh look he's got to be in bed with russia, it's gotta be russian agent there's this whole crazy theory. they could say that stuff. and you know what was it happening to them? they were not being killed for their not been thrown in jail. and critics of joe biden, i am a critic of president biden and president trump read we can say this effort we can go on television and say these are our presidents are doing a bad job for their doing things who are wrong in a section huge different that really matters. and it is a useful reminder of how free and how wonderfully

free america is compared to other countries. kennedy: it is baked into what we do and how we talk about things, katie. so what happens now? what is the thing that keeps people going and keeps people protesting? >> while people in russia who are on alexei navalny side they're seeing at him make a huge sacrifice and courage, they feel he is making a sacrifice for them and have to go the back up the cause. in terms about we can do about this, what the european can deal with this and taking the cynical position in the positive position. the cynical position they won't do anything. putin has been poison people adventures in places like germany and the uk. so they can put a new sanctions for they can also do things like free russian diplomats from certain meetings, they could pull back

on their presence in moscow in terms of their embassies for this a lot of diplomatic things they can do. on the positive side they could implement those things, that is the positive. the second positive version of what i was going to say, there are somethings that can do but in terms of whether they will base on putin's' ability to be poisoning his enemies while they are in western countries and getting away with it, i'm not so positive much will happen. so far it party panel, thank you so much, katie, peter, anne-marie good night. russians is not the only foreign policy headache right now, the other involved, china. setting for democracies overseas here's a back story for there's a coup in the southeast asia burma. the is in there the military is in charge for the u.s. and china have interest there. in fact biden's old boss, barack obama celebrated the budding democracy on china southern border in 2012 when he visited. china claims a coup is nothing more than a cabinet reshuffling. and they support the military squashing freedom of course.

so with the world looking on will biden happen to take to stand up to china? join me to it discuss host of the next revolution sent nights 9:00 p.m. eastern on fox news channel he is the author object under a positive populism the one and only steve hilton welcome back steve. >> hello hello. kennedy: there is no when i would rather talk to about this issue. anyhow, you are smart. you have always laid out a great case against china. how they squash freedom, they are anti- free trade. and here they don't have problems with a military overthrow of the democrat elected government in burma. so what should be done? >> that is exactly right. they love the idea of a puppet regime run by a military dictatorship right on their board and. that is the kind of regime they know and love and they know how to deal with in a decline statement i remember visiting, back in the mid- 90s when is living in hong

kong, who's just being deposed she was then under house arrest. she was to speak to supporters from behind the fence of her house. a couple of nights a week i went there once i remember her speaking directly to me and my friend. we're the only westerners there. she told me direct and rather strange manner i thought, don't come here, tell your friends in the west not to come here. she's basically advocating boycotts and sanctions but her argument was sanctions against burma would actually toppled the regime. i think the direct opposite view. there is no way that kind of pressures going to work as long as china's propping up this regime. if we actually want change in burma, i think the best way as is often the case is through economics and trade and investment. kennedy: a group you completely pretty have to export our ideas, our technology and opportunity for people. but how do you do that with the military government in

place? >> there was a military government when i was there. it's a state law and order representation committee. you could travel, you can travel now. there is a sense this is a closed off society. but that is not necessarily the case we can find ways to get the message out. i think that is the only way to bring these regimes back into the fold. there is no way that you are going to prompt a huge military confrontation with china. we don't want that. >> i think we should secretly take our stuff and secretly get some uber drivers and burma. maybe some uber eats, get some things going, people get a little with afraid and there's no turning back. >> exactly right think that's the answer's not slow it's not the society satisfactory answer let's go in there and bomb them to democracy brigade. it is the long-term right solution. >> absolutely right. a long term capitalism, rising

unconstitutional. however, if you find it constitutionally have to quit and here's why. they are arguing sort of two buckets here print their sink on its face a lot of issues with this impeachment accusations here. they sent violated his due process by the brush of this. it violates his free speech. not to mention again into cell and consent constitutional. they let's their multiple allegations of conduct that are impeachable into this one article. they said there so many flaws here that you have create a procedure that is unconstitutional and therefore none of this will even fly. and then they say but let's respond to your individual allegations. they say he never violated the oath of office pretty was merely exercising his opinion, his constitutionally protected first amendment rights. they go include that call with secretary rothenberg are. they specifically are taking his comments and say this is merely his opinion. they say that those rioters and the crowds that they are planning to do so anyway. and that it suppresses free speech where the senate to move ahead with this.

and i think the final point i would like to make here is that in addition to them routing the solid everything he said was merely free speech, the counter argument to that is this isn't a criminal charge. this is an impeachable offense for therefore the senators in addition to the argument that it is constitutional can argue while it doesn't matter if you are protected by your first amendment, as the president you are held to a different standard. and you knew or should have known that what you said indeed would incite action on your behalf in your inflammatory rhetoric was foreseeable that it would result in the violence in the capitol. smacks of who had the edge? >> the edge is that the preceding is constitutional. and the edge however is that there will not be enough votes to convict him. so i believe and if i was a betting man i would bet he will indeed be acquitted. it's going to be for political

reasons. mick i think is going to be acquitted things a misstep by democrats pretty actually makes him shockingly sympathetic which i didn't think was possible. i watch that speech that he gave in d.c. on january 6 in real-time. and i thought has he lost his mind? and it was before what happened at the capitol. but with more time that goes on, and with an acquittal coming, i am sorry they do not weaken him the way they could have if they voted for sentra. >> i agreed in terms of everyone clearly playing politics of wanting to make sure they don't rub him the wrong way as well as her constituents, that is to come into play is well-paid what about the voices that sat what should see you spending your time doing else were doing other things are presented meet legislating. censorship of the most commonsense application of this. kennedy: we will see what happens, emily. keep an eye on and then tell us. right thank you dear. apical storm is next.
