why we let china get so close but the main target is still president biden bubble over his remarks abouthinese hot air balloon. trust me biden says there is only empty space. just in the air e next to china the balloon itself was shot down by the us air force in the atlantic from the usa the cancellation of visits to beijing by secretary of state blinkin, and great hopes were pinned on him in general , the good old balloon did not disappoint. the first commotion over enemy balloons occurred in america during world war ii. one day, the new york battleship, on its way to awajima, noticed a bright sphere in the sky that looked like a japanese hot air balloon. he opened fire on it from all guns, but later it turned out that it was a planet venus story could be attributed to maritime folklore, if japan really would not have been the first to threaten the us continental territory in real intercontinental weapons balloons bombers code-named fu-go or fire air step, the japanese found out that from november to march on at an altitude of more than nine 12 km above the pacific ocean , a strong east

joe biden -- a bubble. joe biden thinks he's doing a great job. rachel: yes, absolutely. you're insulated enough, problems like this seem like not a big deal. rachel: absolutely. turning now to your headlines starting with the crisis at the southern border, agents say they've encountered more than a million migrants so far this year. there's already been 200 -- i'm sorry, 328,000 gotaways. there were about 600,000 all last year. wow. and thousands of criminals are filing into el salvador's new mega-prison. the country's president releasing the video saying 2,000 gang members including some from ms-13 transferred into the prison. just think about how many made it to our southern border before they got caught in this crackdown in el salvador it's really scary stuff. there's a great article on it. you should look it up. and now to a fox weather alert, oregon's governor declaring a state of emergency in multnomah county after a record-breaking snowstorm. officials are expecting more cold weather, this as part of kansas, oklahoma and texas as they brace for severe thunderstorm

you know, barack obama called it the bubble. biden calls it the tomb. what he you know what he talks to i mean there's a great there's a great human moment. i asked him what his best day was as president. and by the way, i did i was not able to get in the room with him for an interview. you can imagine what that was like, right? i mean, i'm you know, i come from 60 minutes and abc news and you what? you're not going to be in the room for the interview? i got written answers to written questions, but they turned out to be pretty revealing. and worst day was maybe not surprisingly, the day the 13 service members were blown up by the suicide bomber in kabul. but he was really, i thought, revealing about just personally wrenching. that was for him. he went afterwards to try to console the families during the the dignified transfer of the bodies out of dover air force base and, you know, he's a master at that that's what he does better than anything and he invoked, of course, the loss of his son beau from a brain tumor. and somehow in this moment, it made it

people really criticize, abide and politics outside this, a washington bubble which is highly politicized. anyhow. so we heard that biden even is promising. another half a $1000000000.00 package. you know, my take is the following. as long as you economy is doing okay. in the united states, the majority of the americans probably will keep supporting the ukrainian cars, but it will probably change once the economy's weakening. and we kind of saw that during the last summer with the exploding gas prices, the moment americans have the feeling that other countries are taking more seriously than the problems with in the united states bite. and indeed might have a problem in this. can you tell us how important this visit was for, for joe biden himself? so everyone here in the, in a u. s. anya is waiting for president biden to announce that he will be running again in 2024. this is when the next president will be elected in the united states, and one big topic obviously is his age. he will be $82.00 if he winced this re election next year. so this trip also was meant to show his strength and his power and that he is ready to r

can we get biden to the grocery store? >> he is in a bubble.ese people in bubble are all in the bubble. they don't go out shopping or talk to normal people. all of their photo shoots are carefully set up, etc. we know that while the president is saying he won't increase taxes except on people making over $4 hundred thousand, the middle class and poor are the ones affected most by the inflation tax. the cooling of inflation has moderated. it is stuck in this 5 to 6% range. that is still greater year-over-year than people are making increases in their salaries. so they are still under water. americans are under water and struggling for a breath of fresh air. >> harris: that word i wrote it down. inflation is sticky. that's right. >> it's a very technical term. >> harris: we get it. we've had stuff stuck on our shoes before. at least he is not a quitter. the president continues to claim republicans are coming for our social security and medicare. he won't quit doing it. >> president biden: i want to invest in america. lower costs, protect and stre

bubbling under the surface. some republicans don't want biden to hand zelenskyy a blank check they have effectively a blank checko clear strategic objective identified. just saying it's an open-ended blank check, that is not acceptable. >> what does success look like for the united states? it can't be a blank check until zelenskyy decides he wants to go to the bargaining table. >> this cannot be ours to fight nor can it be ours to fund alone. >> and on the left antiwar protesters have been shaming their own party remember a few month ago aoc got hit? >> congresswoman, none of this matters unless there is a nuclear war. which you voted to send arms and weapons to ukraine. tulsi gabbard has left the democratic party because there are a bunch of war. you originally voted. you ran as an outsider. yet, have you been voting to start this war in ukraine. you are voting to start a nuclear war with russia and china. why are you playing with the lives of american citizens? you are playing with our lives. >> you are a coward! you are a progressive socialist. where are you against the war mobilization? he is telling the rig

it puts you in a bubble, puts up a wall and president biden has often described himself, he makes this gesture on the fingertip politician, i need to feel what is going on out there. i think you've seen that recently as he's gone to states. as he's made unscheduled stops, as he's worked to interact with folks. he's getting that feel and the more he gets that feel, the more powerful he is. because one of the things is president biden has been consistently underestimated throughout his career. and as matthew said earlier, he does have a really amazing way of rising to the occasion and he'll do so again. >> it would not be surprising if republicans tried to throw him off his game. let me remind you of a little something from last year's state of the union 2022. >> we need to secure our border and fix the immigration system. [ applause ] as you might guess, i think we can do both. >> does he have a line ready this year? do you just have to hope it comes to him, if it happens, we don't know if it is going to happen, might not. >> i don't know if he has a line ready. i think this has become

biden's trip to kyiv. i was in a little bit of a multitasking bubble, but claire made the important point that we're not in a moment -- we are in a post-unity that an american president on the ground in a country at war against a known american adversary is no longer anything remotely close to a kumbaya moment. despite that, what do you think the broader political impact is of the president's visit today to kyiv? >> well, it really was an extraordinary moment, and it was an extraordinary image when you have the president of the united states with the air raid sirens playing in the back walking through the streets of kyiv, and i apologize which of your previous guests made this point. the contrast between joe biden could not be more striking. you think about that joe biden -- or that donald trump's presidency was defined by his relationship with vladimir putin. joe biden's presidency is increasingly defined by his relationship with volodymyr zelenskyy, and you see this side by side. it was a courageous moment. it was a dramatic moment, and it signaled to the world that joe biden is all in here. it is not a

shooting terribly, it was just bubbling and bubbling, besides the fact that we were all having fun here, and all kinds of guys appeared on the topic of biden creativity of ukrainians is off the charts . this is somewhere near the station in kyiv. biden is sitting through the air alarm in the subway. this is a beautiful memchik, er, the word is ukrainian even before biden actually arrived, that is, he arrived , to be more precise, that is, it was not even known if he was there , listen. but the muscovites looked at it all that biden was riding on a train and because of this the kyiv-warsaw train derailed 100%. for sure there was a russian hand or foot, but because not everyone will understand that you are joking, meanwhile, despite the fact that the ukrainians were happy and made all kinds of memes, russian propagandists wrote that look, what a great , beautiful russia that is, what a country biden is not even afraid of, god, i am russian i say, lord , ugh. but why am i quoting them? but he is not afraid , so he is walking around kyiv, because they know there in kyiv that if we promised, then what else? beautiful cover in simple - this is a

biden agenda when they hear about it. a lot of them don't know about. 11 news bubbles, new says it's, they aren't hearing about it, but whenlly a generational opportunity. this guy has gotten more done for working class folks than any president has in 60 years. and when voters start to hear about that, i think they are going to respond. >> that's an interesting point because don, recent polling has shown that a majority of democrats and independents, i think 50% actually, think biden is the party's best bet for 2024. but 45% think someone else has a better shot. what's behind the discrepancy? to lay off this incredible body of work that he's accomplished. independents, you have this little group of folks that are saying no not really. >> i think, look anytime you have a president -- age is a consideration, but the reality is, joe biden is president, he's a democrat. he is the incumbent, he's running for reelection, and i think that you start looking at polling numbers, his polling numbers have been creeping upwards as the economy really does seem to be very stabilized. inflation, he's getting a handle on that. i think that

biden's game plan. >> reporter: that's right. we saw this fight bubblef the union and only heating up since then. essentially it is a strange dynamic where republicans ask president biden stop attacking us on social security and medicare. president biden said no. let's look at what steve scalise told me the day after the state of the union. the president for a few weeks falsely saying people want to get rid of social security and medicaid. there's no truth to it. unquote. the white house's response, they say absolutely not. the white house and president biden are going to continue calling out the republicans because according to to the spokesman a wide range of republican lawmakers ebb dosed severe cuts to medicare and soerm security. he says complaining that the president is accurately shining a light on the plans is very much not the defense they think. what exactly is the white house referring to? what are the republican plans? i got a list of several that the white house has in mind. one is senator rick scott. he proposed last year to sunset all fede

president biden would be visiting ukraine but to keep the trip clandestine the president was driven in a white toyota suv instead of the customary black suburban and traveled with a much smaller bubble than usual. a few aids a medical team, a recphotographer and security package. the group traveled by train 10 hours eachway. only two reporters traveling with the group were sworn to secrecy and given instructions via a disguised email with the subject line arrival instructions for the golf tourney. >> nobody have a safety guarantee.
