. >> brian, you'll be shocked to know the questioner was peter ducey of fox. >> peter ducey of fox.ox, which purposefully airs briefings up until peter ducey's question. so that the fox audience can see ducey sparring with jen psaki. she had the important answer that i hope the fox audience heard, that, okay, not the pandemic, it is mass death of the unvaccinated. is that what they want biden to say. almost in real trouble is unvaccinated. i think peter ducey should listen to his father, steve ducey, who said last week, he said, i talked to a doctor, he said, the vaccines are like a kevlar vest. it won't stop you from getting shot, but it will probably stop you from getting killed. that's great advice from dad. maybe peter should call his dad. >> maybe. or just listen to him, right? at his place of work. what is the difference between being vaccinated or unvaccinated? life or death, there you go. pretty good answer from jen psaki. brian, thank you so much. >>> so a tragic trend, public personalities downplaying covid, trashing the vaccine, some are dying of covid. john avlon with a

", when it came to the direction he is taking the country in, he had this exchange with our own peter ducey. >> why are you trying so hard in your first year to pull the county so far to the left. >> president joe biden: well, i'm not. i don't know what you consider to be too far to the left. you guys are trying to convince that i am bernie sanders, i'm not. i like him. but i am not bernie sanders, i am not a socialist. i'm mainstream democrat. >> todd: absent in the nearly two hours of questions, any discussion of the crisis at the southern bored or or the violent crime spree across the country, afterwards there's no shortage of republican criticism. >> the president is detached from reality, and the kitchen table issues matter mattering to american, claiming that in federation is under control. shelves at the grocery stores are restocked. that covid is under control. people will wear maths. >> reporter: the president refused to say whether the midtermle results will be legitimate with the voting life skill. >> carley: i thought undermining the election results was a threat to the democrac

for his part, he actually called peter ducey tonight and told him it was nothing personal. peter told sean hannity with the world and the brink and all the stuff going on, he said he appreciated the fact that the president took couple minutes to give them a call and clear the air, but he said i don't need anybody to apologize to me. to be fair president trump did call politicos the same in office after leaving office but the difference is the press recoiled in pro clutching back there and today not so much. shannon. >> well, it's gotten a little heated in these briefings every few years. very classy to make the phone call even though peter set said it wasn't necessary. kevin, thank you very much. we will chat about this. very interesting for now. >> football. >> much more analysis, eyes i said. considered but the us role should be as the tensions continue to grow between russia and ukraine. we will break that down. a supreme court judge struck down the mask mandate for schools rolling back governor kathy hopeful does not have the authority. good evening, laura. >> they state

>> that's a great -- what a stupid [ bleep ] >> last night peter ducey was on hannity and here's what he had to say about the exchange. >> within about an hour of that exchange he called my cellphone and he said it's nothing personal, pal, i made sure to tell him that i'm always going to try to ask something different than what everybody else is asking and he said you got to >> when hannity asked if mr. biden apologized, ducey said he didn't need an apology >>> the future of college admissions is in the hands of the supreme court this morning justice will hear an appeal by opponents of affirmative action who say it discriminates against white and asian students nbc's brie jackson is in d.c. with the details >> reporter: this is the latest politically charged issue to reach the high court and could uproot more than four decades of legal president. n one private and one public school both cases were fought on the same day in to14 by a conservative activist group. the court has repeatedly ruled that a student's race can be considered as a plus factor helping schools achieve the education

look, the president has starred with peter ducey before.r ducey handled it perfectly. not always a fan of how peter ducey works but the president called him. said i'm sorry. said he wanted to move on. and peter said fine. i'm going to be back to work tomorrow. what's up with the president? >> it's not the first time he's said something, been caught saying something about a reporter. not the first time he's been caught on a hot mic. remember the big blanking deal when he was vice president and he was hugging then-president obama. but i think more broadly, i was thinking about sam donaldson and ronald reagan. presidents have a -- there's a benefit for presidents to use certain reporters as foils. and sometimes, depending on the dynamic, definitely in this case, in the case of ducey and fox, there's a benefit for them to do the same. the fact that the president apologized is good. the fact that ducey handled it with grace and class is even better. >> and nicholas, i guess the question, is this an isolated incident? president biden and a fox re

peter ducey made a comment about needing a second source on the president's comment on him.t checked, yet. but i think in the moment, it -- it is a question that people -- is legitimate. people do want to know about inflation. they do want to know certainly what the president himself wants to do and of course democrats want to know about this, anderson. it is something you have heard senator joe manchin and others talk about being potentially a political problem for them going into the midterms. but of course, you saw very clearly how president biden felt about that question today. >> yeah. kaitlan collins, appreciate it. thank you. >>> florida state lawmakers have advanced a bill banning some schools from speaking about sexual orientation. next, i will talk with the mother of matthew shepherd whose murder was motivated by anti-gay hate.

[first responder] thank you, onstar. [driver] my son, i

today our own peter ducey asked psaki about the president's vindictive p tone when he calle up more thanalf of america is domestic enemies. jen was more interested in talking about the cincinnati bengals. take a look. >> you talk about a year ago an working with republicans. now he's talking about republicans they don't agree with voting rights. what happened to the guy when h was elected he said make progress we must not treat our opponents as our enemies. at think everybody who is on th level would note that he was no comparing them as humans, he wa comparing the choice. to those figures in history. and whether they determine whether they're going to suppor the fundamental right to vote o not. one last thing, the bengals are playing tomorrow, i'm just giving them a shout out so my husband will be excited at home okay, we've got to wrap it up o it. >> here with more is peter ducey . i didn't really particularly like the answer. the first year of joe and offic is there one year. >> passing the american rescue plan, which was for all intents and purposes a year ago. you mentioned the cinc

peter ducey asks a lot of questions that maybe you don't like. not always maybe in good faith. but that comes with the territory. a source telling cnn the president called ducey to apologize for his remarks. i knew he was gonna do it. the moment i heard it. ducey telling fox news tonight, quote, within about an hour of the exchange, he called my cell phone and said, hey, it's nothing personal, pal. going on to say he declared -- excuse me -- he cleared the air, and i appreciated it. we had a nice call. so, that is -- that is very joe biden. but again, not making excuses. shouldn't have done that. okay. so, there is a lot to talk about. let's bring in now our pentagon correspondent oren liebermann with the latest on ukraine, and thousands of u.s. troops on heightened alert for possible deployment to eastern europe. oren, good to see you. thank you for joining us this evening. this crisis along ukraine's border, intensifying. and the u.s. is taking actions that are making this look more serious, by the hour. are there any signs of deescalation at this point? >> not at all. pentago

the interaction was reporter peter ducey. president biden called him about an hour after it happened. he said he appreciated the apology but didn't need it. ? will you need a fourth shot? >>> plus, the hottest ticket right now. the renewed hope for 49ers fans trying to score a ticke . >>> the 49ers and the rams will be meeting up this weekend in los angeles to see who will be going to the super bowl. one look at stub hub shows prices for the cheap seats around $600. others will have to be willing to shell out thousands for a seat. all this interest comes as sofi stadium tried to restrict tickets only for people who live near los angeles. niner fans staying ticket rule makes sense when you consider the last time the teams played in l.a. a couple weeks ago, the stands looked more like a niners home game. sergio quintano looks at the games raging. >> as soon as ticket fans logged, it is a warning to next weekend's nfc championship are restricted on fans in los angeles area still codes only. >> it is ridiculous. you should let wh

i hope and i pray he gets peter ducey more than one question because he's going to get loudl popped tomorrow at the press conference. >> sean: go to the issue you are bringing up your because you're bringing up a lot of goo points. they're is not a single thing i have mentioned that in any way prohibits any american from eve voting rate as a a matter of fact voter id is standard in almost everything bright updating voter rolls, what is more fair, clay, than partisan observers watching the vote count up close to make sure it' legitimate on every part gets t watch. what part of this is corrupt that people would be so a against it and accuse others that don't support it of being racist, or people that do supportive of being racist. >> your 100 percent right, the jim crow to point no argument doesn't hold water and leo's point about weight, black, asia people all over this country they overwhelmingly support the i idea of voter id laws pray this isn't something that the most ardent phase of voters is in favor of the using this as a distraction. at think you made a good point, think about what de

. >> by the way, the president later called and apologized to fox's peter ducey who asked the question. ducey said it was a nice call. whether it's the white house or your house, the frustration and concern over higher prices is real. you feel it firsthand. maybe in transactions you make every day. so it's, you know, tough for a good headline like low unemployment, stock market rebounds to outweigh that direct effect. let's bring in justin wolvers. the stock market gets all the headlines but it's just a piece of the economy. explain why this market roller coaster, what it means for main street. >> well, the markets are really volatile right now but that volatility is just a reflection of reality which is it's hard to know what the future holds right now. so on the one hand, large parts of the economy seem to be getting back to normal for the first time in two years. on the other hand, omicron has caused massive disruption and dislocation over the past few months and none of us really know how much that's hurt the economy and how much it will turn out to be a hindrance through 2022. >>

and his comments about peter ducey are especially ridiculous, given that biden's own weakened mentale way, all those people in the back are fake news. >> there's sean, trump's mouth piece. now, given trump wants to run again and will likely have the full support of fox and the rest of the right wing echo chamber, what could that mean for the fate of the free press? it's an important question tonight. i want to bring in media attorney ted boutrous. great to see you, as always. i must note ted actually represented me when trump tried to take my press pass away at the white house. we got it back. we beat trump. but, ted, i was thinking of sending a fainting couch over to fox news in their studios, but i figure they had plenty of those, along with some pearls to clutch. your thoughts? i mean, we just saw trump -- he drove all of these attacks against the media. what happens to the media, do you think, if trump runs again and wins? >> well, jim, it was very amazing. it's great to be with you, and it brought back a lot of memories. i think what we're going to see are continued attacks on t

>> i think the takeaway from that is that he actually went to steve ducey at fox -- what's his name? what's his son's name? >> peterto me. i've lost my memory. that happened a long time ago. willie, you know i'm not good with names with these people, but i called one of them geor. he went to the fox guy and the newsmax guy, that it was true he met the alien. so give him credit for going to people he knew was going to come at him with crazy questions. >> you watched newsmax's lineup that was as tame a question. but when your editor says you have to ask about cognitive ability you do what you have to do. he spent nearly two hours fielding questions. people said oh, he's only picking on the people approved. he went and took a question from anyone in the room who would ask one, to his credit. we've discussed problems with the answers he gave in some cases but he did spend two hours answering questions from everyone who asked one. >> yes, he did. >> was that a newsmax or a fox news question? >> yes. newsmax. >> so i just got everything wrong. >> that's okay, the question is was that same reporter in the trump news confe

an under the breath expletive on monday towards peter doocy, the white house correspondent for fox news, that was amplified by a live microphone. mr. ducey think inflation is a political liability and the midterms? mr. biden's patience was low and the volume was up, and you can see for yourself. [video clip] >> we will talk about it later. thank you. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] >> that's a great asset. more inflation. what a stupid son of a bitch. host: the president at the white house. later, the president called peter doocy to apologize. he was on fox news last night. here is a look at that. [video clip] >> within about an hour of that exchange, he called my cell phone and said, it's nothing personal, pal. we went back and forth and were talking about -- just moving forward -- and i made sure to tell him, i am always going to make sure to try to ask something different than what everybody else is asking. he said, you've got to. that's a quote for the president, so i will keep doing it. >> i want to be your negotiator here, and i want to negotiate a 20 minute sit down with you and biden one-on-one. i am a christian, i believe in forgi
