let's talk with ari fleischer, former press secretary for george w. burke, author of "taking heat."d to have you with us today. i'd love for you to weigh-in on a couple things. let's start with the infrastructure story. seems at the beginning of every presidency, there's this idea that this is something that both sides can get together on and agree on. when they actually try to do it, they have different ideas of how you actually pull off a infrastructure nationwide plan. >> yeah, this will be very expensive meeting. he will take heat about shutting down the pipeline. how does he make it up? by spending more money. infrastructure is the easy one. that is because when you're spending money, it's always easy to keep spending and spending more, especially in in environment where there's no such thing as fiscal constraint anymore. >> martha: there isn't. i remember the shovel-ready jobs and you remember the discussion of infrastructure in a package in the beginning of the trump administration. there was a lot of thinking that should be the first place to go to try to build some across-t

ari fleischer, fox news contributor, good friend.or president trump and has a particular interest in immigration, this is what he said on lauren graham about this last night. >> we know that silicon valley and wall street dumps hundreds of millions of dollars into biden's campaign. right now, they are being repaid for that financing by getting workers less pay than americans to pad their own bottom lines. >> dana: do you think the biden administration is doing enough to combat the response from somebody like stephen miller? >> well, i think this is one of those issues where there is legitimacy on both sides. we are talking first of all about legal immigrants. they are not coming to america illegally. they went through the legal hoops and are applying for green cards. the question becomes, and it is an eternal question. how many people should we we give green cards you? when? they would argue you don't allow then in because of the pandemic. joe biden is saying we still need these workers. we do want them in, and they are coming in lat

. >> laura: it's also -- it's telling people, ari fleischer, watch out. message from law enforcement, looks like the fbi, certainly the democrats, included all of this, watch out. you go to one of the rallies in the future you might be surveilled on a drone, take a selfie and posted online, you might be dealing with letters from the fbi or being detained, or question. that's -- i don't know if that's a police state, i don't know what it is. >> that's what's done in the 1950s, 1960s with the fbi under hoover and it led to a lot of liberals complaining about the heavy-handed justice. the only justice i knowing that you know, were supposed to know is a justice that must be blind. in the tactic used against those that engaged in violence at the capitol, those are being used against the summer in portland rights. the people who try to take over a federal courthouse. are we going in with the fbi seizing social media. if you commit violence against the united states you should be subject to the law if you're a peaceful protester, you should not be. but the aggre

today according to a source who was there joining the now former white house press secretary ari fleischerat were hearing the justice department and the fbi probe is now about governor cuomo misleading and obstructing the federal government about covid-19 deaths in nursing homes they needed to know where the virus was going and they did not get the information from them. >> that's a real history could've something been done differently if we learn from new york who went through this first and if we had known because governor cuomo was honest instead of lowballing the number of deaths in nursing homes that there's a real problem at nursing homes and nursing homes have to be treated specially, differently the way florida treated their nursing homes and elderly citizens in march and april last year. i don't know anything about criminal charges i'm focused on moral issues and moral dealings which led to the loss of a lot of lives of people, good printer nursing homes for new yorkers and i'm a new yorker, this is her governor was an imperial way of dealing with the issues that may have put live

here to respond, former white house press secretary and fox news contributor, the great ari fleischeri, how are you? >> trey, great to see you. >> trey: what do you make of this unity juxtaposed with 50/50 votes in the senate and using the reconciliation process to jam something down people's throats? >> well, first of all, your line about -- i've never heard that saying before about americans would rather see a sermon then hear a sermon. that is a beautiful thing to say. you captured so much of that one sentence. in terms of what we are seeing in washington and with joe biden, the centrist, who wants to be a unifier, his whole soul is in it, i have come to the conclusion that half his soul is in it, the other half is not in it, and kamala harris will cast the tie-breaking vote for his soul. joe biden wants to be the unifier, but he certainly isn't governing like the unifier. if he wants to unify, there is no question to be on a bipartisan path right now, and there's nothing wrong with -- if you've got the votes, shove it through. that is how lbj, lyndon baines johnson, would govern,

i saw ari fleischer put out an interesting tree earlier "welcome if this is the precedent set regardingtrolled the house and that very well could help in 2022, then we have to flip a limited number of seats relatively, then maxine waters should also be dealt with because she incited violence or at least the argument that ari fleischer was saying her comments getting up into people's faces who served in the trump administration and telling them they were not welcome." this would be a dangerous precedent but the white house does not want to touch this right now. they want to punt to congress as far as that is concerned. speak to another moment that stuck out to me, joe, kristin fisher asked jen psaki, what did president biden mean when he said the vast majority of the people at the fbi are good, decent people? he meant exactly that. what does that mean? >> that was a very curt answer. he means exactly that. okay, well, guess that means the way we are supposed to interpret it now, what percentage of people are we talking, 80% good, decent people in the fbi credit domain? 90%, can he be mor

sandra: really important point, i go back to a tweet from ari fleischer saying the way the president wins with this speech is to target joe biden's policies. that is how you unite the party. so we'll see if he does just that. mark meredith is on the ground there, in fact, he's inside where the president should be speaking soon in orlando, florida. mark, give us a sense of how the crowd's feeling, as i'm sure the anticipation is building even more. >> reporter: yeah, sandra, waiting is the hardest part, and you can tell that this crowd's still very excited. they don't seem to mind the delay at this point. but, of course, as it continues, i would imagine there'll be some people wanting to go stretch their legs. you were talking about the great weather down in florida in february, you're right, but in this ballroom we have no windows and no clocks, so it's kind of a casino-like atmosphere all day. people probably won't get too antsy anytime soon. there has been so much buildup with this speech, the president being the last speaker at cpac, and that was by design. think of some of the ot

ari fleischer, and one afternoon the mainstream media has given then they gave to president obama whenhe was not the situation room during an active benghazi attack. or when he traveled to here is matt walsh, when it was revealed the nursing home scandal, sending it immediately is focusing on the perry trip to cancÚn. if you're going along with this, distraction technique, you are useless. how does the media help these folks out by shining a light on the situation that is happening there and get more help to them? >> the ted cruz story is the perfect storm for the media because there is a disaster ongoing, a lot of people negatively effective. there are questions about government preparedness, and train cruz went on a vacation with his family. it was horrible objects in bad judgment. it's so easy for the press to say here is someone we hate from a party we hate. we can make this bad look go far and wide as far as possible. and just the emphasis on this. these asked with which the media is covering the cruz thing. you can't help thinking about other things whether it's nancy pelosi and
