over the ga situation and back then of course, it was the sort of the last stage of president george bush biden. i bama of course one the election then and by was he's vice president and the talk was about the reset was between me, between us and russia, and the democrats was seen as the party. the group were more likely to bring that about. in fact, that's what they were campaigning on. so it's quite interesting to see. i think that the question would, could anything come up this summit really we've got we've really got to acknowledge open the, obviously why the relation between the us and russia have been degraded. so much have to do so much. and of course the u. s. line is always ukraine crash question and ukraine. but in fact, we can trace it to syria, where the, where basically we know that the us particularly near cause the us ministration were held back on regime change in syria doing to syria what they've done to iraq and libya. and it was russia that taught it that and also that we get the ukraine kicking off through ricky and your impression that so i think it's very important chronol

rite of passage and biden already did this once, this is the second time since he has come to office. but he is the sixth u.s. president in a row to bomb iraq. you have george h.w. bushnt george w. bush, president obama, president trump, and then you have biden. let me play how the white house spokesperson jen psaki defended the airstrikes. >> the targeted strikes were directed at facilities used by iran-like militias involved in these ongoing attacks for purposes including weapons storage, command logistics, and unmanned aerial operations. article two, the self-defense, the defense of the united states in our interest is our thomistic justification for these strikes announced yesterday. the president's view is it was necessary and appropriate, and deliberate action, these strikes designed to limit the risk of escalation. amy: the u.s. is saying it was self-defense but it is also interesting that the airstrikes come two weeks after the house of representatives voted to repeal the aumf, the authorization for use of military force which grant sweeping war powers to the president. what will this mean for the nuclear deal that the supposedly is president biden is attempt

relationship like and what is the expectation that biden might be able to handle this differently than his predecessors? >> well, you mentioned george bushvladimir putin, he was then the vice president, putin was then the prime minister in that sort of brief stay before he returned to the presidency. biden says he's told putin directly, i'm looking into your eyes, i don't see a soul. and as biden has often retold this story, as putin responded, we understand each other, mr. vice president. so biden has always said, to him, politics is personal, and that includes foreign policy. this is going to be a very interesting meeting because in part, we only have had some phone conversations between the two and that one-on-one meeting more than a decade ago. white house advisers have been insisting this is an opportunity for the president to lay out, as they say, he's the best spokesperson for american values, this he's going to be very clear about the u.s. position. he's going to come into that meeting with some sort of consensus of resolve from our allies behind him, as well. but i've got to say, there's some, you know, discussion within the whi

i don't think biden is harboring any ideologies that he's going to look into his eyes and see his soul like george w. bushctioney navalny. they may be able to find some common ground. we need to catch up. yeah. the bar is so low with anything involving trump. alexey navalny. that kind of thing doesn't happen really without putin administration blessing. does the united states have any leverage, tommy, when it comes to trying to pressure putin? it's not like there's some sort of military solution on the table here. >> i think we have an obligation to stand up for universal rights and we have to get our own act together in the united states. polling shows that the average person in the world is worried about democracy. our goal shouldn't be to election our countries but rather demonstrate to the world that we have better system that will deliver better outcomes, taking time and effort, not going to be one meeting. you're right, consistency matters and we need to demonstrate that, not just with the russians but across the board. >> globally 75% of the world compared with 17% for trump last year. biden receiv

then maybe you should go talk to joe biden, or donald trump, or brock obama, or george w bush or bill clinton, who all stopped billions of dollars worth of goods and supplies from entering countries by way of sanctions. the only difference is that these activists in oakland were doing it to stop israel's myriad human rights abuses. the u. s. government uses sanctions to crush poor people in country who ever so slightly get in the way of our vast and rapacious empire. for example, i don't joe biden, even remember why we're trying to cross venezuela right now. well, it, it was they, we must stop. they must be stop. because don't, don't tell me, don't tell me. don't, don't tell us on tip tongue they were. was it something to do with music? did they challenges to a dance off? i think. mucho know grass. yes. so the oakland port shutdown is one of the rare times that stopping a shipment has been used for good. instead of evil. we have to go to a quick break, but you can watch reactor that any time and portable dot tv and check out the redacted podcast. it's called moment of clarity when i d

george w. bush in the next hour. >>> president biden doubles down his support for fauch dr.ils were made public. >>> and young people with covid, with an urgent appeal from the cdc. with an urgent appeal from the cdc. all of these things that i found through ancestry. i discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. you see this scanned-in, handwritten document. the most striking detail is her age. she was only 17. knowing that she saw this thing happening and was brave enough to get involved and do something— that was eye opening. bring your family history to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com [tv announcer] come on down to our appliance superstore where we've got the best deals on refrigerators, microwaves, gas ranges and grills. and if you're looking for... i've never slept like this before. we gave new zzzquil pure zzzs restorative herbal sleep where we've got the best deals on refrigerators, microwaves, to people who were tired of being tired. what is even in this? clinically-studied plant based ingredients passion

biden has to see if he can get along with boris johnson in this special relationship, wolf. we look at fdr and churchill and ronald reagan and margaret thatcher. bill clinton and george w. bush with tony blair. can we get chemistry going between biden and boris johnson? they'll talk like fdr language of the four freedoms and the atlantic charter and our two countries are the citadels of global democracy while it's under threat today from authoritarian governments. >> kaitlyn, the president says one of the goals of this trip is to bring like-minded nations back together. how is that message going to be received by the various parties he's set to meet? >> reporter: well, i think that's going to be one of the struggles. it's not just enough really for him to come to these summits, to the g7, to go meet with nato allies and not be donald trump. of course, everyone understands a lot of these allies are wary of the four years they just had with him, but they also want to look at the reality here and the fact that the way presidential elections are done in the united states, that you can see how quickly leadership can change and how quickly alliances can be undermined, even after d

george w. bush, he didn't think too much of george w. bush either, obviously. bush was extended all across the world. so with biden, he has the first president that he understands. he's got a professional that has been on the world stage for 40 years, and a professional that's not distracted by a hot war in iraq, an on going war in afghanistan. >> what meacham said about the inverted iceberg, i thought that putin is the shark and all you see is the fin. he lies and lies and lies. so we don't know if anything he said to biden yesterday, he will take back to moscow and implement. we don't know that yet, right? we have to -- it sounds satisfactory, but we have to wait to see the proof of this. but there is something about the fact that biden has an incredibly experienced team. highways very experienced diplomat. he has decided to make a wall against putin, as opposed to trump. and maybe biden benefits from the chaos of trump and the inadequacy of trump, in terms of building diplomatic alliances. >> i think wherever he goes, he goes to great britain, and they're like, thank god we have a guy who's not going to insult

george w. bush and then obama and then trump and now biden have said i'm going to get this relationship right.ussian behavior. but none of their approaches have worked, frankly. and russia's aggressive activities, hostile activities have continued, particularly in cyberspace. so what difference does president biden have to offer in terms of consequences? >> well, okay, first of all, in terms of approach, i think it's really important to note that president biden comes into office not seeking any kind of reset. every other president has tried to start fresh with the russian government. so this president knows, he was vice president, and he's dealt with this russian government, you know, vladimir putin, even as a senator. so he knows that we're not going to change the regime. we're not going to change their objective. we'd like to temper their behavior. we'd like to change their behavior. and the consequences, there's a whole range of things we can do. just taking sanctions alone, jim, the sanctions that we have put on russia are very targeted. if you compare them side by side with the sanctions

i am old enough, i am afraid, to remember this was an issue with george bush, barack 0bama, donald trump and ontojoe bidenal health emergency for children. the children s hospital says its seen an extraordinary spike in the number of children needing psycyiatric help and even attempting suicide. demand for its psychiatric inpatient services for young people increased by 72% during the pandemic. children report feeling enormous stress. now the hospital s behavioral unit says they don t even have enough beds to keep up with the pace of demand. dr david brumbaugh, the chief medical officer of children s hospital colorado, joins us now. can you just give us an illustration as to what children are coming in with? what are you seeing? tide as to what children are coming in with? what are you seeing? we are seeini a with? what are you seeing? we are seeing a cute _ with? what are you seeing? we are seeing a cute presentation - with? what are you seeing? we are seeing a cute presentation of i seeing a cute presentation of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation primarily. kids at the end of their rope, so to speak

. >> just some context into biden's talk about vladimir putin's soul, biden was responding to comments that george w. bushn 2001. bush said he looked into putin's eyes and saw his soul, and, wolf, you remember when john mccain looked into putin's eyes, what he saw was kgb. >> i remember that well. excellent analysis. thank you very much. president biden is expected to confront the russian president over russia's aggressive conduct and to make it clear what the red lines are, but some say that gives putin a certain advantage because setting red lines with an unpredictable leader like putin, that's a rather risky move. jim sciutto and clarissa ward are here with me right now. jim and clarissa, when we say the stakes are enormous here today, i think that's a fair analysis. >> it's a fair analysis. i would say the stakes are higher for biden than putin. already just appearing on the world stage, standing next to the president of the united states speaks volumes about russia's role in the world, importance, so he'll be seeking to transform that into some sort of a public relations coup. both countries are goin

biden is the first president since george h.w. bush to be a military parent.he carries a list of fallen soldiers in his suit pocket. >> on this memorial day, we honor their legacy and their sacrifice, duty, honor, country. they lived for it. they died for it. and we as a nation are eternally grateful. >> the fight over voting rights and voting restrictions hit a big moment in texas, after the texas senate passed a bill that would cut down on the number of hours of early voting and restrict drive-through voting which is exactly what it sound the bill passed the senate, but when it arrived at the texas house, the democrats in the chamber walked out. that meant the house didn't have a quorum, and didn't have enough lawmakers present to pass the laws. and because the supporters of the voting bill waited until the last second to introduce it, the time ran out and the texas state house is recessed until further notice. the move by democrats is seen by many in texas as unfair, this is the actual walk-out itself. they would have lost the vote so they just made a no vo

george w. bush presidency i think they would have been closer to a joe biden response sharing more to a populist president who wanted to play to the crowd and not to make tough decisions, so i just want to be clear this isn't in any way democrat versus republican in my mind and there are so many who could have been running this pandemic and i think we would have seen that. i relay this in the book he called me into the oval office and he was talking about how he wanted to make sure i understood something which is we need to explain things to the public and he said don't worry about making me look good. give the public the information they need. they don't know when this is coming to an end and i will just tell you that made my job so much easier if you have to go out and perform and make sure the president sees you cast him in a favorable light it sometimes gives away what you are trying to communicate and i didn't have that problem because the president essentially said we need to fix this. the implication is we are going to be judged whether we fix it or not. we are very careful about what peo

summit comes just weeks after the biden administration announced it would not rejoin the open skies treaty, a major international arms control deal signed by the george h.w. bushinistration in 1992. vladimir putin then announced russia would withdraw as well. as a presidential candidate, joe biden criticized donald trump's decision to withdraw from the treaty. in may 2020, bidden said -- -- biden said -- "trump has doubled down on his short-sighted policy of going it alone and abandoning american leadership." biden is also continuing a number of trump's initiatives to expand the u.s. nuclear arsenal. in his new budget, biden is seeking $43 billion for nuclear weapons, including money to devep a new submare-launched nuclear cruise missile -- which as a candidate, he described as a bad idea. meanwhile, the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons, or ican, has just published a report revealing global spendinon nucar weapons increased by $1.4 billion despite the pandemic. the report found the world's nine nuclear armed countries spent $72.6 biion on nuclear weapons in 2020 -- that amounts to nearly $138,000 every minute. the united states spent by far th

>> well, biden has a pretty good track record of seeing putin for who he is. as you remember, george bushd, biden looked into his soul and said he didn't have a soul and putin famously said, then we understand each other. this latest move is to basically label them terrorists, and anyone associated with navalny for ten years to imprisonment simply for association. to do this as clear an indication as putin can give that he's not going to be susceptible to any of biden's message on democracy, on human rights, and on how nations should behave in the 21st century. i think that, you know, the difficulty that biden has had. some have criticized him for even agreeing to this meeting. they believe it confers legitimacy on putin. i think biden's probably right in saying, look, diplomacy is about talking to your adversaries. not just about talking to your friends. and the fact that he's meeting putin after having met every single western ally over a period of a week. this is a very, very intensive week that biden has. and he's meeting people in britain, he's meeting people in europe. and then he's

george w. bush said he actually wanted to get a sense of the soul of vladimir putin, which is why president biden years later said -- >> not sure he got the right sense of his soul at that point. >> we'll see what he says coming out of the summit. jon karl, so many of these summits as we have reported on them, we talked about relations with russia being at a low point. it's degrees of that low point, jon. >> reporter: one indication that vladimir putin himself wants to turn the temperature down on trivial, but i think it's significant, is that he showed up on time this morning. i can't tell you how many events between the americans and the russians that ieone to where putin has kept the americans waiting. it's a power play. i went tone meeting in russia several years ago where the secretaries of state and secretaries of defense went to putin's home outside of mosc moscow and even there he kept them waiting for hours. the fact that he was here promptly and on time, but look, you remember the days with barack obama when they would have meetings and the body language spoke louder than any words said

his behaviour, and we have seen with with george bush, we have seen this with george bush, we have seen this with barack obama's reset, and now we're it with biden with biden. it doesn't work. we're it with biden. it doesn't work- are _ we're it with biden. it doesn't work. are you _ we're it with biden. it doesn't work. are you still _ we're it with biden. it doesn't work. are you still if - we're it with biden. it doesn't work. are you still if feel- we're it with biden. it doesn't work. are you still if feel of l we're it with biden. it doesn't i work. are you still if feel of your life? , . ., ., life? indeed, they continue to threaten me _ life? indeed, they continue to threaten me like _ life? indeed, they continue to threaten me like they - life? indeed, they continue to threaten me like they do i life? indeed, they continue to | threaten me like they do many life? indeed, they continue to i threaten me like they do many other people who call him out and call them criminals that they are, they are absolutely gunning for me the whole time. are absolutely gunning for me the whole time-— are absolutely gunning for me the whole time. ,., ., ,

it's a wide-open year and george bush is going to leave office and it is the morning after the first democratic debate. president bush comes in the office and says get joe biden on the phone and chris dodd. i don't like how they were treated at the debate last night and i said what are you talking about? he said they are standing on the end, they hardly got any questions. they kept giving all the questions to hillary clinton, barack obama and john edward. they got all the questions. joe biden and chris dodd are upstanding u.s. senators and they deserve to be treated better. this is how i was treated in 1980, the man on the end who could never get any questions. so once again, i said don't you think senator biden and senator dodd will think that it's odd that you are calling a republican president is calling them saying and he said get them on the phone, so we did and he had a great conversation with them. i only tell those stories because they are in the book but it just gives people a little insight to show the common artery that happens behind-the-scenes with these people that have a shared experience. >> he operated well on the telephone. his letters were

president biden at one point, when he was vice president, even told putin that he looks into his eyes and doesn't see a soul, which is the exact opposite of what george w. bushaid to putin during their first meeting, decades ago. but look, i mean, clearly biden is going to have a way tougher stance on putin than the republican president trump ever did and republicans, this is pure hypocrisy, if they're trying to suggest otherwise. >> we will see, the test is on biden to deliver and to prove he can get something productive, even out of a static, you know, relationship. but what we just heard from the republican leader is, fantasiland. >>> donald trump's desperate attempts to get the justice department to embrace outlandish 2020 election fraud claims. we w. building an experience that lets you shop over 17,000 cars from home. creating a coast to coast network to deliver your car as soon as tomorrow. recruiting an army of customer advocates to make your experience incredible. and putting you in control of the whole thing with powerful technology. that's why we've become the nation's fastest growing retailer. because our customers love it. see for yourself, at c

president biden has met in the past with president putin, looked into his eyes and that you have no soul as opposed to george bush who famously said i looked into his eyes and i saw his soul. there was some dialing back of the rhetoric prior to this summit meeting happening today. a few weeks ago president biden was asked by george stephanopoulos do you believe putin is a killer, biden said yes i do. yesterday he said he was a worthy adversary, tough guy, bright, not wanting to be too antagonistic, but one thing for sure, president putin does not want to be lectured, they have set aside for 5 hours to talk. that is a tremendous long time for these two leaders to sit down and talk together and unfortunately for the wild they will hold solo press conferences afterwards as opposed to the joint press conference in helsinki between donald trump and president putin in that summit and in 2001 in slovenia, another one i attended between president bush and president putin, the two of them side-by-side on a stage like that and a joint press conference you get a sense of the body language, the relationship between the leade

george bush is also famous for dripping during a news conference. you know, president bidenle more comfortable around the press perhaps than his predecessor. tom: i think we underplayed yesterday the young joe biden's efforts on russia and arms control. did we sell enough in the media is familiarity in dealing with a soviet union and with russia in the past? wendy: i don't know whether we sold it enough, but yes, president biden has a very long history of dealing with russia and the soviet union in the senate. he was on foreign relations. he's very familiar with these nuclear treaties, and he and putin could probably talk in some detail without a lot of help from aides on the resumption of the nuclear agreement that we saw yesterday. lisa: as president biden returns to the white house to have a coda for his european tour, was it successful? wendy: i think it probably came off as quite successful. he had this good talk with vladimir putin, where he can claim that he was very tough to him and told him to stop tiber attacks -- stop cyberattacks and all of that. at the g-7 he wa

i don't think biden is harboring any illusion he's going to look into putin's eyes and see his soul like george w. bush the russian's defense u.s. policy has been all over the place the last few years and it's good to have face-to-face conversations, iron out confusions or ambiguity. i'm sure biden is going to push him on cyber attacks, alexei navalny. the last president to meet with putin was trump in 2018 in helsinki. so we need to catch up. >> yeah, the bar is so low with anything involving trump. a ruling that they are extremist organizations, that kind of thing doesn't happen really without the putin administration's blessing. the message to biden seems pretty clear. does the united states have any leverage, tommy, when it comes to trying to pressure putin? it's not like there's some sort of military solution on the table here. nobody wants a war. >> i don't know about leverage. i do think we have an obligation to stand up for universal values and rights and democracy itself. i realize we're imperfect messengers abroad and even at home right now. our allies are thrilled trump is gone, but i think

george w bush and said when i said so, so. ready you know that that wasn't very good, but biden is a genial man. he sees relaxed. he's comfortable with other people. so i think the body language when we caught good, but of course we won't see the body language side by side because they're not going to give a joint press conference. it's going to be 2 separate press conferences. i suppose . we'll see the handshake at least have a bit to read and that will give us something to go on for the day when we heard from guess about us being ready to come to the table. russia, said tom, again, i want to move more more away from the dollar, especially get it out of its reserves. the u. s. is fully behind in weapons development as well. is that what's brought america to the table to the talking table? no, i think it is just a feeling that you have to be have some level of politeness in international relations. and russia is a powerful country and brought in country and you can just devise later and put sanctions on it and ignore it well higher on the left. i suppose i miss what it says it's, it's biden's purse trip abroad.

george w. bush. good to see you. thanks for coming in. a lot of americans see biden schumer and the senate pushing radical agendas that they didn't sign on to, did democrat senators mansion and cinema feels the same? >> i think a lot of democrats did and this shows the difficulty of running a campaign not based on what you would have governed with but based on what the minimum is to win victory and the message last year was joe biden will not be donald trump trump is on the covid relief. the second problem is when you do come out with something as revolutionary and transformational and as big as the agenda the biden administration has been laying out over the last four or five months, you're going to find a lot of democrats in the country were going to find themselves supporting the elements of the agenda let alone getting rid of the requirement that there would be 50 folks to take up a major in the senate. it's not just manchin and cinema, they are the most visible. we hear a lot about them but this past week, jacky rosen, i'm not in favor of getting rid of the fili

george w. bush, surges under president obama, president trump, now again under president biden.strations can't fix this by themselves. they have tried and failed. that means the responsibility is with congress. republicans who correctly identify the southern border as a national security risk have a stake in getting it right. that means immigration reform. it can't just be border only. to do it in a rifle shot misses the larger set of push and pull incentives that cause border crossings. it's time to step back, look at the situation and really take a serious run at revising our immigration laws for the first time in decades. >> we had a really fruitful conversation last time you were both on. doug, you mentioned, if i recall correctly, last time the need, the essential need to reform our core visa system. congressman, you mentioned last time that the reason for the collapse in many of the northern triangle economies, drugs, consumed by people in this country. how can these two points be used to bridge some of the gaps on the hill? congressman, you first. then, doug, we will come

common effort is something that other world leaders welcome and joe biden just like the first president that i covered george h.w. bush, is somebody very comfortable on the world stage, knows a lot of the leaders. he was back in his element. >> and speaking of comfort, physically it was a very different scene overseas. a lot of touching and back patting and not so much finger pointing in previous summits with the previous president. there is a body language that reflects a shift in public opinion in what we've seen according to this recent pugh poll that in europe and in canada and in germany and among the g7 countries, you have the general population going from 30 point swings in their favorable view of the united states, their favorable view of the ability of an american president to operate. this is a lot of good will, olivier, do you think it will have actual dividends for the united states. >> that is a good question. and if you dig further into the pew poll, you find a small minority of respondents say that the united states is a very reliable ally. we can't paper over the unhe's still in europe. they're watchin

george bush and dick cheney. and through the obama years and now and through the trump years and then through the started the biden administration. all these presidents have been holding these people claiming that they are unorthodox on, on official combatants and are not treating them in accordance with the geneva conventions rules of war. the us code of military conduct or the us constitution, it's totally illegal to have them held for nothing. and, and they keep justifying it based on this 2001 authorization for a use of military force that congress passed to initiate the lower of the war. on terror, they call the war on terror, which isn't even a war emergency services, a dealing with a devastating impact of flooding in crimea is that one person dead? 43 injured still one more person is missing. of you understand roughly 2000 people had to be evacuated from their homes and still reporting from the region r t correspondent ecos down off. days after the flood, dozens of households remain in the firm grip of the catastrophe. here in southern crimea, people spent decades building up their lives here. and what they

i don't think biden is harboring any ideologies that he's going to look into his eyes and see his soul like george w. bush all over the place the last few years. it's good to have face-to-face conversations and iron out confusion or ambiguity. i'm sure biden will push him on cyber attacks, navalny. they may be able to find some common ground. we need to catch up. >> yeah. the bar is so low with anything involving trump. this week, a russian court banned groups affiliated with alexei navalny. that kind of thing doesn't happen really without the putin administration's blessing. does the united states have any leverage, tommy, when it comes to trying to pressure putin? it's not like there's some sort of military solution on the table here. nobody wants a war. >> no. i don't know about leverage. i do think we have an obligation to stand up for universal rights and for democracy itself. and we have to get our own act together in the united states. our allies are thrilled that trump is gone. but polling shows that the average person in the world is worried about the health of our democracy. our goal shouldn't b

george w. bush presidency or a bill frist presidency would have been much closer to a joe biden response to pandemic. i think this is more specific to a populist president who wanted to play to the crowd did not have to make tough decisions. this is in any way democratic versus republican issue in my mind and i think there are so many democrats and republicans got gottlieb and mike mcclellan who could have been running this pandemic and we would have seen that but i will tell you the answer that question by way of relating something that happened when i worked for joe biden. i relate this in the look pretty called me into the oval office and he was talking about how i was in charge of public representation for the pandemic and he wanted to make sure i understood something and that we need to explain things simply to the public and he said i quoted him in the book as saying don't worry about making me look good. give public the information they need and remember this was an -- when people were dying and people were unable to get their vaccine and they were scared because they did didn't know when thi

of george h w bush 's post presidency and is former chief of staff recalls his 25 years after leaving the oval office. what's will tv this weekend on c-span2. after weeks of negotiation, president biden and a bipartisan group of 10 senators have now reached an agreement on an infrastructure proposal. the president made the announcement shortly after meeting with the centers behind closed doors at the white house. >> come on over. we know you do. do we have a deal? >> how did it go, sir? president biden: get everybody out here. come on. everybody come on up. we had a really good meeting. to answer your direct question, we have a deal. and i think it's really important, we've all agreed that none of us got what we all wanted. i clearly didn't get all i wanted. they gave more than i think maybe they were inclined to give in the first place. but this reminds me of the days we used to get an awful lot done up in the united states congress. we actually worked, bipartisan deals, bipartisan deals means compromise. one of the things that i've made clear, i've signed on and i'm going to let them give you the details, because -- and you can ask them and i will talk to you all later, next hour o

george w. bush when they focused on tax cuts, that's all he focused on. look at this. bidens a lot more live events about infrastructure than he does about this. you look at the two, event wise, what's the priority of the white house. looks like infrastructure. >> reporter: yeah, covid and infrastructure. and obviously this is lagging behind. notably when you press the white house on this as i did earlier to a senior white house official, they made some points i was sharing with you and said, you know, the president tasked his vice president with this issue. even as i was walking out to the camera, now hearing from the vice president's office, defending everything she has done on this, she spoke to chuck schumer about this very issue, voting rights legislation over the weekend, is engaging voting rights advocates, lawmakers, business leaders. she had a meeting with texas legislators last week. when it becomes a moment of pressure on them, in this case obviously as you've seen the white house says the vice president is doing what she canon this thing. >> capitol hill, white h

i hope that joe biden going into this knows that, but unfortunately ever since the george w. bushht they could reset relations with russia, and that won't happen. >> michelle, you've spent your entire life in foreign policy and looking at these summits during your time. what do you think vladimir putin wants out of this? >> i think vladimir putin wants to be seen on the world stage as an equal, and as -- >> is that another reason not to have that press conference? >> it is. we don't want to give him that platform for propaganda and disinformation and spinning things his way. i think the president has to go sit down with him face to face. this is not about a reset. this is about a very clear-eyed approach to putin that says, look, these are our interests. we are resolved to defend them. these are our concerns about your behavior in all these different areas. these are our expectations and we want to get things on a more stable, predictable footing so this relationship between two nuclear powers doesn't go off the rails. i think you have to do that as a start. it's really a test for

christopher staud, who served on president biden's national cybersecurity commission and a former deputy national security adviser to president george w. bushn nbc news national security analyst. let me start with -- i know you're ears to the ground. what more are we learning about the outage this morning and how much confidence do we have this is basically a normal tech problem type of thing, not a good one, obviously, versus sabotage? >> so i think everything we are hearing now, chuck, it is a normal tech-type thing. they said their service configuration disrupted their services and they were able to get it back online in 15 minutes. i think the time from compromise to outage and resurrection usually can be a strong indicator that it was something that happened internally so it was a tech issue with a significant impact. >> let me start with ransom. i want to get both of you on this issue. i had a divide on my sunday show. i had a mark warner, who wasn't ready to go there on banning ransom payments. i had jennifer granholm said if it was up to her, she would ban ransom payments. this ability to now claw it back in the wallets might be a g

biden there. with us is republican ron christie, former adviser to george w bush, and democrat amanda renteria, formered to work like that. is it too optimistic to think we might be seeing a little bit more bipartisanship now in washington? good afternoon to you. i think it is a little _ good afternoon to you. i think it is a little too — good afternoon to you. i think it is a little too optimistic to think that we — a little too optimistic to think that we are going to the good old days, _ that we are going to the good old days, back— that we are going to the good old days, back to the 90s, when speaker gingrich _ days, back to the 90s, when speaker gingrich and — days, back to the 90s, when speaker gingrich and president clinton were able to— gingrich and president clinton were able to hammer out significant pieces— able to hammer out significant pieces of— able to hammer out significant pieces of legislation because they were able to talk to each other and they were — were able to talk to each other and they were not always trying to undermine each other. in this specific— undermine each other. in

george w. bush, obama, and trump all acknowledge the d-day anniversary on their first year in office, president bidenout the 1921 tulsa race massacre. vice president harris did, she mentioned d-day in a tweet. our own gillian turner spoke with a veteran who said "as a veteran, i find it reprehensible the president and his speeches with god bless the troops which now seems to be in the words only. he blatantly forgot to a knowledge the tremendous sacrifice of our greatest generation. "governor huckabee, your thoughts? >> mike: what happened on june e most powerful events in human history and these very young guys, most of whom were 18, 19 years old, many of them knew full well they weren't going to live through the day and 2500 of them didn't. the first of all, it's inconceivable that the president or his staff could be unaware that this was the anniversary of d-day. kaylee will tell you that there are dozens of people in a communication staff at the white house, this is true of every public official whether they are senators, governors, they all have people who keep up with the calendar, they know wh

george w. bush looked into his soul. that was an interesting moment. what should we look for? >> out of the biden-putin meeting?ou need to look at, huh, the relationship is so broken at this point, and there's really no easy way for biden to try to heal it without looking like he's capitulating in some way. in a sense you have to look for what either one of them says coming out of it and presumably it's going to be hostile going forward, it's an incentive to stay in enemies type position. it makes them look way too weak at home if they do anything but that. given that state of affairs i think it's going to be a lot of preserved status quo. as margaret was saying it's more important that you see the healing happen on the home side of the fence. and the true proof of that pudding, frankly, is going to be after all of this traveling is done, a bunch of countries will be going into uneven recovery periods and that's going to strain the relationships, especially when trade issues are on the table, especially when questions about vaccines, questions about travel are on the table and that's all going to affect the nic

biden, and there was no chest thumping about the meeting. we might recall back when putin first met with george w. bush and the famous moment where bush looked into putin's soul, and putin made a point about talking about his mother with george w. bush. he talked about his mother giving him a cross and being pap advertised and there being a fire in his statue and the only thing surviving the fire was the cross his mother gave him, and he frequently talks about his father. putin does this all the time. he, himself, he knows how to create a connection with people. you know, i think out of this, you know, what we can at least expect is more professional meetings. it was also very interesting, and i got a look at who's who in the meeting, and many were russian speakers, newland, and greene, and some of them spoke russian, and there was the chairman of the joint chiefs equivalent, he's been speaking behind the scenes with general milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in the united states presently, and the press secretary, he's really a diplomat, and there was a chief heir to the president that

all the press was doing the huge build-up that biden is going to do face to face when george bush didnations. the stunning moment for me was a cybersecurity moment where biden said i brought him a list of 16 areas in the united states that he can't attack with cybersecurity. it's jarring to me. he should have brought a map of the united states and just layed that out, here is everything that you can't attack. i don't know what's on the list because he didn't release the list at this point. there are certain areas that russia shouldn't attack. i guess certain areas they can. at the end of the day we need to push back clearly to russia and say to point, no, we are off limits and we will hold you accountable and not giver them a do-not list but you can attack the other areas. maria: i'm stumped by this, senator, the fact that biden would come out of the list of 16 most vulnerable areas and say, don't touch these as if putin is our friend and is going to just say, oh, okay, yeah, we won't -- we won't hack your nuclear facilities, no. i mean, what -- what was this thinking of sharing of sh

from president washington to president george bush, it was about $10.6 trillion. during the obama-bidenears, that debt doubled. then it was added to through the pandemic and now one would be led to believe that in administration has decided they're going to take the credit cards and swipe them so many times, they run the numbers off of them. yes, this is the biden surcharge at work. forcing the american people to pay a premium just to live, cradle to grave, daylight to dark. they've got a list of tax hikes and increased fees for you. you hardworking americans, you cannot escape it. and what a world they have decided they want to leave for future generations. i think it's awful. i'll tell you what. this budget is such a terrible representation of what america actually needs, that back home in tennessee, people are asking me, as i was home last week. they would come up to me and they would ask me if this was really a serious budget. it is so extreme. it is so huge. they would say surely your democratic colleagues are not serious about this. surely president biden is not serious about this

but, you know, whether it was george bush, whether it was president trump. whether it's now president bidenher it's president obama, every time there is a big summit like this between the united states and the united states historic flow going back so long, russia it is a big deal and what it serves to do is elevate the russian leader. brian: just getting a glimpse of the back of the head of the united states while is he greeted by the swiss president and looks like they are going to take a quick handshake in front of the doors. ainsley: photo op. >> vladimir putin just went in about five members before. >> we do understand that apparently at some point the president of switzerland is going to be the lone world leader who will make some sort of comment. so, he may be going in to grab mr. putin. bring him out and have a statement. we don't know. ainsley: they have a little greeting ceremony inside those doors and the swiss president is going to speak and then they will have putin and biden bilateral meeting. steve the way the meeting, this five hour meeting is going to go. first it's going t

george w bush always a pleasure to have you on. good evening, sir. let's talk about tomorrow's vote, tomorrow's vote on voting rights. key priority for bidenden agenda. it all decemstin to fail. so what's this all about? now what, as they say, matthew? >> well, to me, we're at a point where i mean, we can blame the republicans as you know i have for blocking this and doing this and endangering democracy all along the way but at some point, it's on the democrats who have the 50 seat to actually do something about this to save our democracy and to, you know, revisit the idea that the republic and how we stand on voting rights and how we stand on having a majority rule actually is supposed to be the way it is in place. so my feeling is i don't think there is enough alarm among the democrats that sit in the senate to actually protect our democracy. i noticed that senator cinemas has spoken out one more time again and she doesn't want to get rid of the fufilibuster bec doesn't want to endanger democracy. to me as i thought about this, it's a bit like having a passenger boat and saying it's about to sink and we're only going to make repeers when
