is china handling the biden administration?arren says disapprove, the biden administration lack of diplomatic prowess to broker peace deals. between iran and saudi arabia, following the abraham accords, the impotency of this foreign-policy policy has led to the afghanistan debacle and russian invasion of ukraine. joe biden's presidency will be written in the annals of time as perhaps the worse foreign policy regime in history. this one says many will try to pose as china experts in this matter. our current foreign policy, the -- the establishment has a view from 40,000 feet, we have a leader with 50 plus years experience in foreign affairs and you can trust he is acting on our behalf rather than his personal behalf -- you can trust he is acting on our behalf rather than his personal behalf. it is complicated. good morning. caller: yes, here's the deal. i approve of the way joe biden is handling stuff, because if you remember, when that iraqi war started, george bush -- i mean, bush went over and borrowed money for us to go over

republicans are ready to stand up and say no to joe biden and the administration's reckless policy. number command and control from biden's bureaucratic. no defending -- defending american energy. no two wok

>> what is more politics from the biden administration. president biden in the state of the union said we will need oil and gas for a long time. to think he was talking about his political reality. don't take this as a change of heart from the white house intern to the change of energy policy. conocophillips has had this area since 1999. the biden administration must have known they were on week, equal footing to deny conocophillips the ability to develop this area. but at the same time as you mentioned, the biden administration biden administration announced yesterday they are prohibiting all the oil and gas exploration in the arctic ocean area. so really, what today shows us is more anti-energy, anti-american oil and gas policies from the biden administration under the smoke screen of the willow project deal that they really didn't have any choice to deny in the first place. >> ashley: should americans be concerned about this that biden is more or less trying to appeal to the far left and approving this will of will project but at the sam

the biden administration has led the largest speech censorship operation in recent american history. since taking office, president biden and his team have labored to suppress view points with which they disagree. in doing so, they have infringed upon the individual freedoms of millions of americans. and no matter what your political affiliation is, government censorship should concern everyone. the biden administration has coerced, cajoled and colluded with social kpwhraoed companies -- media companies to censor disfavored speech. the biden team has publicly threatened social media companies from removing legal protections -- with removing legal protections, blamed social media companies for societal problems, accused social media companies of killing people and these social media companies, some of the biggest companies in the history of the world, willingly took part in this orwellian vast censorship interprice. on multiple owe cases, president biden and his team have threatened to punish social media companies that did not sufficiently censor biden's political opposition by revoki

we are disappointed in the biden administration.er the trump administration said we are now going to implement humane immigration policies. and we're not going to go down the road that the trump administration did. and yet, that's what we've seen at the border. first, the biden administration now cap title 42, we're now three years out from pandemic. hopefully title 42 and sometimes the spring. but now the biden ministration has proposed a new asylum ban to take the place of title 42, something else that i would not do, something the aclu and its partners challenged in court when the trump administration didn't successfully challenge. and now on top of all that, we have this being floated that i may start detaining families again. we hope this was just a bad idea proposed by a few people, and as swiftly rejected. but we'll wait and see, because at this point, this far into the biden administration, we've seen them do a lot of draconian things at the border. so, we will fight it if we have to. but we hope they will reconsider. >> as

. >> they think you should give all your money and freedom in washington because they, the biden administration, knows better who you to spend it than you do. i don't agree with that. i don't suspect that we'll pay any attention to president biden's budget. >> julie: charles payne is here to break it down. first we'll go to peter doocy joining us live in philadelphia. hi, peter. >> julie, officials at the white house are saying if republicans in congress are serious about reducing prices for things, then they will back the president's budget. there is a reason that republicans in congress will not back the budget and that is because they don't want the budget's tax increases. >> it proposes tax reforms to insure the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share while cutting wasteful spending on special interests like big oil and big pharma. >> there will be an increased medicare tax on people earning more than $4 hundred thousand a year to pay for this plan that would give federal workers their biggest raise since the 70s and shave trillions off the deficit. officials claim they can do t

mick: not only not a dreamer you are -- the biden administration woefully underreported but out budgetast month earlier this month go back look at schedules at the back being do long term economic projections they project out inflation over next 10 years, never, never gets below 2.3% supposed to go to 2% fed policy never goes to 2 he below 2 .3, in fact over 8 years janet yellen involved in making of numbers omb director head of nea treasury secretary do numbers together means that janet yellen a meets regularly said we are inner going back to 2% inflation again telegraphing fed is going to accept inflation above 2% need to top stalking about it or asking if fed policy regarding nation has changes long term. >> congresswoman secretary yellen questions commentary about her perform as treasury secretary, you're great on her right now. >> i will give her an f, without a doubt in front of ways and means committee refused to identify the fact people make less than 400,000 dollars are paying tremendous amount more in taxes kept insisting, sticking to talk point. >> you have democrats biden a

juan: i want to ask in terms of response of the biden administration was certainly one of the fastests by a government agency to an exposÉ that i can recall, your sense of what some of the proposals are of the biden ainistration to address this issue? >> so the announcement by the biden administration are laudable in terms of the speed implemented or announced them. increasing the department of labor and public services investigation -- improving the screening and vetting of those who may sponsor these children, usually relatives that are going to take care of the children after they are released from government custody, which happens when they first arrived. ter the children are released, what kinds of post release services are going to be give to these children to me sure to check on them so that after a month, three months, are they still livg there, what is their health situati, they going to school -- those are all steps thfederal government has announced they will be doing more of because we had not been able to check. what is missing here, and this is important given the fact a

president biden's administration came out with three pads. this is a huge opportunity for our country, and max production of 200,000 barrels a day. which we need. here's what i've been saying, senator murkowski, we had meeting with president biden on this, in the white house, on thursday. we said, this is the energy project that president biden should approve because it meets so many of the things you said your administration is for. the highest environmental standards in the world. those of you who know alaska we have high standards, but the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of any project in the world. president biden administration eis says this. negligible admit -- emissions. they do a market analysis substitution. if you do not do that, we will get energy from venezuela, saudi arabia -- not doing willow pumps more co2 into the atmosphere. that is the eis. that is number one. second, the president's team talked about racial justice. racial equity in environmental justice. the majority at the native people in alaska supply very strong suppor

two years in, how was the biden administration doing. >> it has been a journey and evolution. joe biden is a much better president today than he was in late 2021. i was there at the white house the weekend that joe biden flew to europe to the climate conference in glasgow empty-handed while the build back better bill and bipartisan infrastructure bills were twisting in the wind. some people thought his presidency was in jeopardy. ron klain was on the verge of resigning. he decided to stay. he's come a long way since. i think he was uniquely prepared to rally nato in defense of ukraine and western democracy. he did that magnificently. afghanistan is another story. since then, he's had a remarkable string of legislative success which culminated in the unexpected defiance of the odds in the november 2022 midterms. i think biden goes into his third year with momentum. >> is he going to run again? >> almost without a doubt. the only person who could talk him out of it is his most influential advisor, dr. jill biden. all indications are that she is on board. presidents do not general

that's 140 for the biden nominees and 415 for the previous administration appointees. jority opinions by february 2019, or 34 each over a comparable period of time. 14 opinions each for the biden first ten, 34 for the previous administration's first ten. it appears president biden's court of appeals judges are publishing opinions less frequently than other recent judges. tomorrow our colleagues on the judiciary committee will meet for a markup of a slate of nominees including the infamous nominee from washington state what was actually unable to recall what article 5 or article 2 of the united states constitution were about. this is not exactly the bar exam. this is basic constitutional literacy. and this person on whom president biden wants to bestow a lifetime appointment flunked. did thes are also trying to push forward the nomination of michael delaney, an attorney from new hampshire who threatened a teenage jane dough of sex -- d.o.e. of sexual assault, threatened make it a story if she and her family did not settle the suit against the powerful prep school before

issues, bret. >> bret: jacqui, the house will line up with the senate on a bill requiring the biden administration to declassify all intelligence linking covid origins to the wuhan lab. will president biden sign that? >> well, bret, the white house deflected on that question earlier this week only reiterating that there is no consensus about origins yet within the intelligence community but house democrats signaled that they won't even vote for this bill without the okay from the did president. meaning that it may squeak by with only republican votes, bret. >> bret: john mark karr question heinrich live on the north lawn, jacqui, thank you. >> alec murdaugh will spend the rest of his life in prison. you are the judge sentenced him to two life sentences this morning. reached a speedy verdict in his double murder trial. correspondent jonathan serrie has the story. >> i respect this court but i'm innocent. >> convicted of murdering his wife and son alec murdaugh's repeated denials will sway judge newman it? >> might not have you. it might have been the monster you become when you take 15, 20, 30, 40,

this is third time the biden administration has retaliated. the attacks usually don't kill americans. they are unacceptable. it is right response for u.s. to counter attack. i don't think this means iran is taking a new tactic against the u.s. since the attacks have been continuing. >> ashley: you said the third time, but since january of 2021, 78 iranian-backed attacks on u.s. troops. that begs the question, do we still need to be there? >> that is a good question and worth noting that the attacks are backed by syria, syria is supported by iran by the revolutionary guard. syria doesn't like the fact we have presence in their country, they are using their militia to attack the troops there. the syrian democratic forces in north of syria is a coalition, but that is army many people have made. president trump was going to pull american troops out of syria, but he was talked out of it. >> todd: a situation that bears watching. lawmakers on both sides questioning tiktok ceo yesterday about national security concerns surrounding the app. the ceo wa

in the middle, the biden administration under pressure to show strength on the world stage. we'll bring in john kirby for a conversation about the infamous drone incident and u.s. plans to counter china. let's turn to alexandria hoff for a look at what russia is up to, alex. >> alexandria: there is no question president putin is looking to strengthen his partner with china and bolster world support as the chinese president is trying to frame his visit as diplomatic. >> when chinese president xi jinping announced his summit with putin, he said it is for the sake of peace, despite u.s. warning russia is providing to provide rush with. and any ceasefire from beijing would be one sided. announcement of the meeting was made the same day the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for russian president putin. for deportation of china in occupied territory into russia possession. >> alexandria: ukrainian children have been placed in filtration camps before being transferred to russia. president biden spoke to the title of putin as war criminal. >> president biden: it

a senate bill will designate cartels as terrorists, a move the biden administration is not supporting. >> would not grant this, does not have authority we have at this time. the united states has powerful sanctions and authorities designate to combat narcotics trafficking organizations we don't believe this will grant additional authority. >> marianne: this comes days before spring break begins around the country. travelers should avoid six states, including where the americans were held hostage. >> todd: seems like good advice. 35 miles separating the cartel site and the city of brownsville, texas. >> ashley: debbie douglas has a ranch located on the border andin jos us now. good morning, you captured video showing what you are saying are illegal immigrants attempting to break into your home, which are just miles from your home. that led you to do $13,000 in increases for security measures. >> yes, absolutely. >> todd: how chilling to hear of this kidnapping and killing so close to where you live? look at the video, that was 3 blocks from the border with the united states and presuma

amy: almost 400 immigrant and human rights groups are urging the biden administration not to reinstate my grip family detention. we will speak with two of the organizers. then as we continue to mark the 20th anniversary of the u.s. invasion of iraq, we will look at a new documentary about the father of julian assange and his fighter for his son. >> i urge the department of justice to drop the charges. >> the maximum jail sentence is 155 years because he published the truth. >> how does it feel to be the father of such a controversial figure? amy: we will speak to julian assange's father and brother. did we look at the cost of the iraq war from civilian casualties to soaring pentagon budgets. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. wall street's largest banks have moved to prop up the ailing san francisco-based first republic bank after the sudden collapse of regional banks signature and svb last week sparked fears of a financial meltdown. bank of america, citigroup, jpmorgan chase, wells fargo, and -- will ea

china handling the biden administration? rren says disapprove, the administration lacks the diplomatic prowess to broker peace deals. following thabraham accords, the important see of this foreign-policy policy has led to the afghanistan debacle and russian invasion of ukraine. joe biden's presidency will be written in the annals of time as perhaps a worse foreign policy regime in history. this one says many will try to pose as china experts in this matter. our current foreign policy, the view from 40,000 feet, we have a leader with 50 plus years experience in foreign affairs and you can trustee is acting on our behalf rather than his personal behalf -- you can trust he is acting on our behalf rather than his personal behalf. another call. good morning. caller: yes, here's the deal. i approve of the way joe biden is handling stuff, because if you remember, when that iraqi war started, george bush -- i mean, bush went over and borrowed money for us to go over to iraq to fight. we did not have the money. now i don't know if we

another epic failure by the biden administration. just a few months ago was bragging that they were able to sell oil from the strategic reserve during the war at higher prices, they were going to buy it back at below 70 at lower prices, but yet they have failed to be able to do that. and the reason is because the market won't stay below $70 a barrel, even with a big banking scare when every hedge fund in the world dumped their oil position, refining good support. as you know, it's not a good trade until you can get out of it. >> sandra: unbelievable, gas prices under joe biden we can put them on the screen, took office, 2.39 a gallon, today over a dollar higher still, although the administration touts they have come down and they have but still over a dollar higher than when he took office, up 43%. gas stockpiles, this is the problem, though. we don't have any more energy reserves. gas stockpiles have fallen, 229 million barrels, lowest since mid march of 2015. ok, now here is granholm doubling down on her praise, phil, for china. lis

despite the biden administration's actions, the stock value of a number of other mid-sized banks havemeted raising fears of a larger banking crisis. just after the stock market opened on monday, president biden addressed the nation and defended the stability of the u.s. banking system. pres. biden: was to reduce the risk of this happening again. during the obama-biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks like silicon valley bank and signature bank, including the dodd frank law to make sure the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements. i'm going to as congress and the banking regulators to strengthen the rule for banks to make it less likely this kind of bank failure would happen again. protect american jobs and small businesses. the bottom line is this, and americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe. your deposits are safe. amy: during the trump administration, a number of democrats joined republicans in weakening the dodd frank law. executives from the now collaps

the biden administration came out with their eis a month ago for three pads.his is a huge opportunity for our country, max production 200,000 barrels a day, which we need. here's the thing i've been saying, we had a meeting with president biden on this in the white house on thursday night, and what we said to the president is, mr. president, this is exactly the kind of energy project that joe biden, president biden, should approve, because it means so many of the things that you say your administration is for. the highest environmental standards in the world, by far, but the lowest greenhouse gas emission of any major project in the world. the biden administration eis says this, manageable emissions is what they say in the eis. they also do what is called a market analysis substitution. we will get energy from places like venezuela, that's number one in the eis. the president talks about racial justice, environmental justice the vast majority of native people in a muska support this project. very strong support from the indigenous people of my state and what t

think about it, maria, a million americans die from from covid, and the response from the biden administrations for conflict with china. americans die from fentanyl, biden says we're not looking for conflict with china. they fly spy craft across our country, we're not looking for conflict with china. and now the russia sits down a reaper drone, and the response this week was we're not looking for conflict with russia. i mean, very clearly we're not looking for conflict is biden speak for we're not going to stand up and defend america. and, you know, if we don't have a commander in chief that's going to do that, we're going to continue to see our adversaries aggressively move on the map. and we've seen, you know, biden has been in the office, the white house twice. vladimir putin has invaded ukraine twice. russia has gained territory twice. this is not a quince kens. coincidence. maria: this is so incredibly disturbing. do you think there's a coincidence that as soon as james comer comes out and exposes those bank records that suddenly trump is going on the indicted? i mean, you were just talkin

i rise in support of the resolution to repeal the biden administration's waters of the united states rule. since president biden was sworn into office, the regulatory actions of his administration have colsaerts the private sector -- have cost the sprieft sector nearly $60 billion in compliance costs and 220 million hours in new paperwork requirements. and later this month when this rule is finalized, these numbers will get even higher. yesterday the committee on small business held a hearing to speak directly with the people that are going to be affected by this damaging regulation. we heard from ms. kathryn english of florida who became a water attorney to ensure her family farm that has been in operation for over 100 years could continue to thrive. she told us that this rule is so complicated that she will not know even if simple land adjustments on her own private property would open her up to fines from the federal government. we also heard from mr. frank murphy from the great state of texas who develops real estate. he shared this new rule will cause him to spend hundreds of tho

the biden administration came out with their eis a month ago with for three pads. this is a huge opportunity for our country and it's max production 200,000 barrels a day, which we need, but here is the thing i've been saying, some of you may have heard we had a meeting, senator murkowski and senator-- had a meeting with president biden on thursday night at the white house. what we said to the president is mr. president, this is exactly the kind of energy project that joe biden, president biden should approve because it meets so many of the things that you say your administration is for, let me name them quick. highest environmental standards in the world, by far, those who know alaska we have the high standards, but lowest greenhouse gas emissions of any major project in the world, the biden administration ei. is says that, negligible emissions it says and market analysis substitution. if you don't do willow we're going to get energy from places venezuela, saudi arabia and emissions are higher, not doing willow pumps more co2 into the atmosphere and that's in the

within the biden administration have the tamarty to think it can ask for information on journalists, like literally the first amendment prevents that. cheryl: final word? >> yeah, i mean, i think when it comes to twitter itself and what the discourse there, it's kind of in a class of its own. twitter has outside say, it just does. it's in the a successful company in terms of tech. why are we talking about it on the show? cheryl: because we are all on it. pat -- pete. it governs our lives. pete pachel, thank you for being with us. the next hour of mornings with maria starting right now. president biden reportedly planning to unveil series of major tax hikes in budget today. the proposal including putting 25% minimum tax on billionaires, raising the national gains tax, increasing top tax rate for americans earning 400,000 a year and more and increasing the corporate tax rate by 7%. the white house also questioning the plan to give federal workers a pay boost. listen to all of this. >> the president is proposing a 5.2 federal pay hike which would be the largest pay hike since jimmy cart

the biden administration says all of silicon valley bank's depositors will have access to their fundsoday, including uninsured deposits and those exceeding the $250,000 cap set by the federal deposit insurance corporation. the fdic, the federal reserve, and the treasury department have taken similar steps to protect depositors at signature bank of new york, a major lender to cryptocurrency companies, after its rapid collapse on sunday. these are the second- and third-largest bank failures in u.s. history. cecilia rouse, chair of the white house council of economic advisers, sought to downplay fears of a wider collapse. >> our banking system is in a fundamentally different place that it was a decade ago and that is the reforms that were put in place back then that really provide the kind of resilience we would like to see. we have faith in our regulators. amy: a bill signed by then-president trump in 2018 rolled back key parts of the dodd-frank banking regulations passed after the 2008 financial crisis. 17 democratic senators and 13 house democrats sided with republicans in support of

>>s the a problem that the biden administration has not taken responsibility for.more than digit -- the budgets of most large american cities just to handle this one problem, and it should fall on the federal government and not major adams, not the taxpayers of new york. >> reporter: eric, the post reports in december fema provided $8 million which is less than two days' worth of costs, and governor kathy hochul's state budget allocates a billion dollars to the migrant crisis. it's meant to be evenly divided between the city, state and federal governments, but so far the city claims it is not getting enough. back out here live, eric, the emergency management commissioner says the city's resources are strained right now. he says they have used the resources they have, and the current plan to take care of these migrants is unsustainable. we'll send it back to you. eric: in about 90 minutes, we'll have council leader borelli here to break those numbers down. nate, good to see you. arthel? arthel: meanwhile, some democrats are angry at president biden after he sided wi

the biden administration _ from nick price? the biden administration has - from nick price?n has become strongly critical of the words of the right—wing government of benjamin netanyahu. —— ned price. the administration condemned the rampage by israeli settlers through the palestinian village on sunday and it called for those who were responsible to be brought to book. now, the administration has accused a senior member of the netanyahu administration of incitement to violence for calling for that palestinian town to be". it is also called on benjamin netanyahu and senior members of his parliament to disavow the sentiments expressed by bezalel smotrich. so far there is no indication that any senior member of the israeli government has disavowed those comments. but this comes less than two weeks before bezalel smotrich himself is due to visit the united states for a speaking engagement in washington, dc, and there have been calls from groups such as an arab advocacy group, the democracy for the arab world now group, to ask for him to have his entry denied. this isn't the — ha

so there was real mismanagement from the biden administration, once again very late reacting., granted, it happened fast -- elizabeth: right. >> but there were better options. but there's gross incompetence was occurring at svb as well. elizabeth: vivek, you agreemented over the weekend that silicon valley -- tweeted over the weekend, you were going after their sort of woke capitalism. there's pushback saying, well, that wasn't the problem here. what do you say to the criticism that this isn't about woke capitalism? >> well, that's not the essence of the story, but there's an important element of it, and i mentioned this in the my "wall street journal" piece today. there's a reason why silicon valley bank was doing some of the things they were doing. they made a $5 billion commitment to green causes, to sustainable finance, in their words, to make for a healthier planet when they should have been worrying about a healthier balance sheet. this was last year. the dirty little secret is their trick works because they're virtue signaling, they're one of the good guys. they're the

the biden administration came out with their eis a month ago for three pads. this is a huge opportunity for our country, max production 200,000 barrels a day, which we need. here's the thing i've been saying, we had a meeting with president biden on this in the white house on thursday night, and what we said to the president is, mr. president, this is exactly the kind of energy project that joe biden, president biden, should approve, because it means so many of the things that you say your administration is for. the highest environmental standards in the world, by far, but the lowest greenhouse gas emission of any major project in the world. the biden administration eis says this, manageable emissions is what they say in the eis. they also do what is called a market analysis substitution. we will get energy from places like venezuela, that's number one in the eis. the president talks about racial justice, environmental justice the vast majority of native people in a muska support this project. very strong support from the indigenous people of my state and what

in the banking sector but they want to run on an economic message, too. >> we have seen the biden administrationo great lengths to avoid the "b" word as you put it in president biden had a front row seat after the 2008 crisis at vice president the real backlash that democrats confronted after the actions of the obama administration and how much that fueled the anger and why we saw the president emphasize over and over again this is different than 2008 and emphasizing that taxpayers are not on the hook for this. there's a difference between saving and helping out an innocent depositors that happen to put the money into this institution. whether the average person will understand and recognize that distinction i think is an open question and obviously politically speaking doesn't stop republicans. >> here's the view from the average american. seems like the rich people screw with other people's money and then get sayed. >> average people have financial trouble dealing with budgets and economic challenges and here they see wealthy people in silicon valley and the country having taken a risk. didn't

this is the biden administration takes bold steps to guard u.s.ech from being manipulated by beijing. the administration is reportedly considering a move to prohibit u.s. investment in certain chinese sectors along with a ban on u.s. companies exporting computer chips to telecom giant wall way. john bussey is here, associate editor for the "wall street journal" and fox news contributor. want to get to, let's start with restrictions on investments in china. what does that entail, how would it work? >> is coming at it from a couple of angles. as a piece on this on wsj.com right now. the administration is looking at computer chips, semiconductors that could be of value to the chinese military. chips that might be used from qualcomm or intel by wall way, the telecommunications acumen munication but the united states is worried possibly using telecom equipment to spy on countries abroad. the micro sense, is looking at specific industries that might benefit china treasury department and congress department is looking at setting up a new regulatory syste

the biden administration considers reviving a trump's border policy. marianne. >> you may see that old policies going in place. now the biden administration is mass releasing families into the u.s. and reportedly tracking them electronically. the reality of the border is much more grim. take a look at this is dashcam video of human smuggling omnivore realizations in brooks county. migrants running off into the brush but troopers able to detain for illegal migrants. another video their out of rio grande city. border patrol chases a human smuggler who drove his truck to the edge of the water. eventually, they were able to get the door open and arrest him. a massive migrant surge is expected this spring. karine jean-pierre on the report that families are being considered. she's not saying much. >> not saying much at all, marianne. back to you in a moment. let's get new insights with the border patrol counsel. it is always great to have on. the administration is considering detaining migrant families who cross the border ill iilegal iil ilegally. this is a

second of all, we know the biden administration doesn't actually take the china threat seriously. president is on record multiple times calling china a competitor rather than naming it as an anniversary. the question is whether this administration has the moral clarity with the threat and take action if necessary. >> ashley: there is a big push them first for secretary of state and then first lady joe biden that now kamala harris said he would go later this year but is there anything kamala harris can say that will make a difference? >> i think that the best thing that kabbalah to do is to not say anything at all. the more she gets out in front of the camera, the worst things for the biden administration. maybe they know that and this has way to get doll bill mike dumped off at the 2024 ticket. >> todd: my thing is focused, what she will be focused on during this trip and what will she with regard to counteracting? if she is out there focused on esg, environmental social government stuff. >> right, that is the problem here of the biden administration's agenda so focused on cultural

keep seeing this administration revert to is th trump playbook this comes just weeks after th biden administrationdministration's asylum ban. it's frustrating because famil detention was one of the few issues where you hurt -- president biden has actually delivered on his promise t change course from the trump era. so the idea that we ar contemplating reverting once again is mind-boggling, becaus family detention, it's wrong and ineffective, and it' expensive. i don't think there is any defense that could be made jus based on the pressures of what the white house may be facin going into the 2024 election >> lindsey, we talked on this, but i want to come back to i with some sound. this is homeland securit secretary alejandro mayorkas i 2021 take a listen. >> we're taking a look at th immigration system with larg and seeing what reforms we can achieve to ensure that the manner in which we address the needs of individuals looking for better life and here's t the principles and values of our country and its proudest traditions jacob detention facility is no where a family belongs >> okay, so i am symp

first, the biden administration announced this week the country's organ transplant system is gettingn overhaul. the system has been heavily criticized for wasted organs, frequent mistakes, and patient deaths. this is something that our guest, a former white house staffer from the obama administration, recently wrote about in an editorial published in usa today. she lost her 31-year-old friend in late december and her father two years ago. both died while waiting for a transplant. jennifer erickson joins us live right now to talk about the reform proposal and why it is so important. thank you for coming on the show. >> thank you. julian: -- kristen: so, we know this is an issue near and dear to your heart. you lost a good friend and your father, as both waited for their organ transplants. what were the things that you learned, in terms of what had to change? >> right, well, i'm so glad you are bringing attention to this issue. we have 104,000 americans waiting for organ transplant. 20,000 of them are in california. 167 of them die every month waiting. the shocking and heartbreaking th

we empowered parents against a biden administration that will not allow it to happen. if you watch, the real concern is how extreme this liberal democratic party has become. this is not cal berkeley. 100 democrats cannot denounce socialism. can you believe that? they are elected to u.s. congress. every single democrat would not allow parents to have a say in their kids education. do not want to allow, if something violent happens on your kids campus, to warn you about it. they don't want to give you what the curriculum is. they don't want you to know what books are being read. we are not telling you what can be read or not, but not even allowing you to see it. they don't even want you to go to school board meeting. they think it is ok that the doj calls you a terrorist if you are a parent. how extreme, the socialist democratic party has become, it is scary. i'm so thankful of what we have been able to accomplish. we kept our commitment to the american people, that apparent bill of rights has passed the floor. we'll continue to do more, to make our streets safer, secure

mine of his own motherland sergey sergeevich well, it is no coincidence that the biden administration the presidential elections are for 24 years, the more difficult it will be for it to allocate further assistance to ukraine to measure vyacheslavovich today, probably only the lazy ones tell me the classic phrase now or never. now political thinking is becoming at the forefront of almost any so-called statements that take place in the white house and in the pentagon, you need as much as possible now from the money that is to fill ukraine with money to make a breakthrough, because everyone perfectly understands today's speech, and the landing means that the election race has already begun. he said that already those theses that will be included in his election campaign. america, first of all, spend money on our national interests. we are investing in maintaining unemployment so that it is minimal, we are investing low in order for us to have good energy reserves. he also said, a good phrase for 50 years has not been so reduced our energy reserves. unfortunately oil is everything did. u

but with this conflict on a knife edge, the biden administration the biden administration appears uninterested in the pursuit of middle east peace, a huge priority obviously for his predecessor. let's discuss what is happening and why was the director of ucla's center for israel stu studies. professor the pleasure to have you here tonight. we talked about what seems the middle east, the israeli-palestinian situation is always on the knife edge. but this is a different. the last couple of weeks have seen this exposure to violence in the west bank. what exactly is going on and how concerned should the world be? >> i think it is very concerning. it is true that the west bank is always a tinderbox. there's always a low level of violence. what has been taking place, really to the past year, this escalation began about a year ago and it has continued under both the current israeli government and the previous israeli government. in many ways, palestinian authority is unable to control key parts of the west bank particularly the palestinians. in those areas, many of the attacks that have taken place h

the biden administration allowed the chinese and russians to come together and presents an a risk to every american citizen. >> dana: peter doocy talked with john kirby. >> when president biden met with xi i want to make sure every country abides by the international rules of the road. does he think china is abiding by the international rules of the road? >> we have significant concerns about china's behavior particularly their coercive and aggressive behavior but other areas we believe there is room for cooperation. you have to keep the lines of communication open. >> dana: does that present a good point, it is important to have lines of communication be open. the spy balloon. you couldn't get an answer out of china. >> this is pretty typical of this administration putting process over substance. the ability to make a phone call as opposed to the ability to change the chinese communist party's behavior against the united states. a couple things we should think of. one, clear russia is the junior partner here and now becoming a state of the chinese comeist party. 1,000 nuclear weapons

if the biden administration failed to catch this, who knows what they have missed. criminals deported and trying to come in again. how much more can the country take before the biden administration wakes up and realizes this is not going to work. >> that i said the same thing about fentanyl. if you got 14,000 pounds coming through, how much did you miss. >> spencer and jonathan fahey, thank you. >>> merrick garland facing tough questions here where republicans brought up a number of c contcont contentious issues. kevin corke is with us. >> this investigation he promised would be political, and influenced-free, garland promised no t to interfere with u.s. attorney david wise. he repeated that pledge as i mentioned today. this is important. garland refused to elevate weiss to special counsel status to ensure his independence. >> if you provided the u.s. attorney with special consul authority, is it true that he does not need permission of another attorney to bring charges. >> under those regulations, those kind of charging decisions would have to be brought. i would t
