the republican party, there is a point some years ago, 2016, 2015 when some republicans wore more openi have a distinct memory of watching marco rubio, senator from florida, discuss this on a news program. but during the trump years, and especially after the 2020 protests, there seems to have been a complete loss of appetite among republicans for even thinking or gesturing towards the real hostility of so much of this conversation, so much of this discourse, too much of this question of reforming americas police departments, and asking for more accountability and perhaps even more citizen input on how policing is conducted. >> the way you put it in terms of democracy is a framing that i have never considered. once again, you have illuminated that point for me. the failure of, the flaws these structural from the beginning flaws of american democracy have become a continual, a recurring theme in your work, in the last couple of years, i would say. and last night, we had a discussion in our coverage of the speech about -- chris hayes was asking, you know, why would sarah huckabee sanders

i had a member of the republican caucus threaten my life and you all and the republican caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious committee assignments in this congress. don't tell me this is about consistency. >> republicans remove congresswoman ilhan omar from the foreign affairs committee. another example of house republicans putting the show ahead of any policy agenda. >> also tonight, president biden talks policing reform with the congressional black caucus. but there's still almost zero chance of getting enough republican support for anything meaningful. >> plus, the next presidential campaign is upon us, and nikki haley wants in and other republicans are clearly interested in challenging trump, but don't necessarily want to subject themselves to his school yard bullying just yet. >> and jordan klepper joins me. he spoke to trump's maga supporters at his recent campaign stop in south carolina. and i'm just shaking my head. >>> good evening, everyone. i'm michael steele, in tonight for joy reid, and we begin with a very dysfunctional congress and its slow and sluggish st

eric republican line.aller: he did a wonderful job as a president going out that republican leader mccarthy was a bottle out there and the rest of his colleagues were fake republicans they are so fake and phony i hate the way they always want to cut everything for the poor and not help us. tell the republican party they need to go to hell. host: minnesota independent line let's hear from ryan. caller: hey how's it going? i did not watch it last night but i caught up on the news this morning with watching you guys. the reason i started re-watching this is because whether it is republican or democrat, they do not ask each other they just have a forum for going after each other whether it is trump going after democrats or now biden. the biggest thing i'm disappointed in with joe biden as an independent is you seem to be rational and levelheaded for most of his time in the senate. he would take positions on the right and left. he seemed more pragmatic. but i voted for obama and john kerry. but i'm disappointed

now today republicans have 400,000 republicans and democrats.santis delivered florida into the red category. it is now officially a red state winning 20 points every single county and every single demographic in the state and what that means is you got 30 electoral college votes no longer up for grabs. in the 2024 election. so i think he is wasting his time. but you know, go ahead and waste your time mr. president. >> kayleigh: waste your time exactly, we republicans are fine with that. coming up a democratic strategist makes racially charged claims about republicans who called out biden's misleading claims. that is next. ♪ ♪ it can never die in our hands." true then. true now. let rosland capital help put gold and silver in your hands. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira and silver brochure

after the state of the union address, republicans -- there has been a consensus among most republicans that medicare and social security is off the table, but what that means for the other programs, especially ones that biden wants to enrich-- republicans have said that they would not do a clean debt limit. host: this is expected to come to a head by? guest: june. the x day is still a question mark. host: we are just seeing this announcement via twitter -- " today i am announcing my run to be michigan's next u.s. is senator. we need a new generation that works hard and never forgets that we are a public servant." what does michigan look like? guest: we saw in the midterm elections and specifically in 2022, it was always considered a battleground state. democrats did exponentially well in michigan. obviously, biden started that trend in 2020. there is this appetite from democrats to see what that looks like. obviously if she won she would be taking over a democratic seat, but it would be a continuation of their reign over the state. host: you said joe biden speaking to the senate caucus

republicans shouted at him and called him "liar."his when he accused them of seeking to make cuts to entitlement programs. >> some republicansant medicare and social security to sunset. [booing] let me give anybody who doubts it, contact my office and i will give you a copy of the proposal. as we all apparently agree, social security and medicare is off the books now. [applause] all right. yamiche: quite a moment. after his speech, arkansas's new governor, sarah huckabee sanders , gave the republican party responds and pointedly criticized the president and democrats. >> at 40, i'm the youngest governor in the country, and at 80, he is the oldest president in american history. i am the first woman to lead my state. he is the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob. yamiche: after his address, president biden hit the road, taking his message to two key battleground states, wisconsin and florida. while he hasn't officially announced he's running for reelection yet, he offered a glimpse at what his 2024 message might sound l

republican party floats. they don't like democracy because they can't win through democracy. so, they take hostage america's economic security, america's full faith and credit. we really can't let that happen. there are too many people who are counting on this. are they going to come after social security? are they going to come after medicare? are they going to come after veterans? are they going to come after defense? are they going to come after military health? what are they going to come after? they won't say. they want to cut a secret deal, and the secrecy alone of this is the best argument against it in a constitutional democracy. i will say one last thing. we would not have to be facing this now if all the republicans had jammed through the trump tax scam that slashed government revenues and have pitched us to this point now. so, to take advantage of their own tax scam, to now threaten this secret devastation of our economy is, for reasons that biden has well explained, is not an acceptable tactic. we

republicans don't want normal. republicans what crazy 2024. 202-748-8001 is a line for republicans.democrats it's 202-748-8000, and for independents and others 202-748-8002. ethan is up next republican line in cleveland. >> caller: my name is ethan. thank you bradley on the show and good morning. >> host: good morning. >> caller: i just want to say about the state of the union that it felt like president biden had an opportunity to really unify our country and a think he failed. a lot of the comments he set about social security, medicaid the republicans were trying to cut it and other things that clearly were false. i don't think he should have said that i think he should apologize for many of the failed accomplishments of his administration because in two years i think a lot of americans if you go to grocery stores, if you go to gas stations they are really struggling to pay for bills, really struggling to pay for gas. at the end of the day he should apologize that he was able to live on the promises he made when he was elected. >> host: next is a martin on the independent line. h

it will be settled in the republican primary. believe me, i wish that those voters will listen to me. maybe they are. hi there if you are. it's very clear that they keep this up, keep doing the same thing, they should expect some more results. mckay coppins is a staff writer for the atlantic, author of the excellent piece. sarah longwell it's the publisher of the -- >> mckay, given the state of america, we have an occasion on this program to talk about the fact that people don't live forever, quite often. there are a lot of people that serve in american politics, including members of the current u.s. senate, but others was struck by those quotes in your piece of people inside republican politics saying, i guess we'll just wait it out. >> you know, it's funny, when i first started hearing these comments with republicans, i thought it was a morbid joke. i thought this was dark humor being employed by the press republicans looking at 2024. i started hearing it's so often that i started to realize that they actually meant this. i tal

the republicans started whistling when biden started talking about the fact that some of the republicans end social security and the medicare program it was part of the program of one of the republicans and after the republicans started whistling then president biden said ok if you promise to protect medicare you stand for it to continue this is health care, so let's show it now, and in fact, this message was supported by both parties, and then the representatives of the republican democratic party stood up, so right there, kingsy says that he thinks that biden won this one of the two, actually forcing the republicans to confirm their support for these programs, if we are talking about other criticism, such bright shots were perhaps you also noticed transformers in white fur coats, today she passed margery taylor green, who is known to many ukrainians for her criticism of the administration's policy on support here's what i'll write on twitter that ah-ah biden likes to protect ukraine's borders but refuses to do anything to stop the uh-uh influx of, as she says, chinese -made fentonyl im

i had a member of a republican caucus threaten my life and you all at the republican caucus were rewardingith one of the most prestigious assignments in this congress. do not tell me this is about consistent the or about a condemnation of anti-semitic remarks when you have a member of the republican caucus who his talked about jewish space lasers and an entire amount of elevated her to the highest committee assignments in this body. it is about targeting women of color in the united states of america. do not tell me because i did that got -- did not get a single -- >> your time has expired. >> thank you. host: her debate on the floor yesterday on the decision to remove omar from the committee. it was approved to 18 --2185 to 211. it is your chance to tell us what you think about vote. if you support you can dial in on (202) 748-8000 or if you are opposed you can call (202) 748-8001 you can also text us at text (202) 748-8003 or you can tweeted us at twitter @cspanwj or comment on our facebook at facebook.com/cspan. we are discussing the pioneer press article the audit fault state grant pro

after the state of the union address republicans have, there's been a consensus among both republicans that ha medicare and social security is off the table but what ta that means for the other programs, especially ones biden wants to enrich or continue funding, republicans have said they would not do. >> host: this is all expected to come to a head. >> guest: by june. i know that date is still a? but june is when we're expected to see it. >> host: you talk about the challenges democrats have in 2024. melissa's locking, now i'm announcing my to be michigan's next us senator. new generation of leaders that works harder and never forgets that we are public servants, what the landscapelook like in michigan ? >> guest: michigan is an interesting state. we saw more specifically in 2022 it was always considered a battleground state. it still is but democrats have done exponentially well in michigan. biden started that trend in 2020. i think there is this try from democrats to see what that looks like. obviously that now's locking if she would win she would take over a democratic seat so it's

they are pointing to that on the republican side. they have not set a date for a new meeting, as far as i know, but they have said that they want to meet again. democrats will be pushing that same message of what do actually want, and is there anything you could pass through the house because mccarthy's majority is very narrow, and he has had one member suggested that he would not vote to lift the limit under any circumstances. there is some questioning of mccarthy's status as a credible negotiator given what is going on in his conference that we will see them continue to bring up. host: to our viewers, we want to hear from you what you want congress to work on this weekend in the coming weeks. we are focusing on legislative work with liz goodwin. liz goodwin, there is also the state of the union address. how will that dominate the week? guest: the state of the union is tomorrow already. as we talked about earlier, the balloon issue will be hanging over that. biden is expected to address that in some way. house republicans have been

every republican voted against. that it's not popular to be on the record in very public places where millions of people are watching saying you're getting rid of social security and medicare, which is why i think republican members of congress stood up to revolt on camera so they had the visual of them revolting, the visual of them saying we do not agree. whether that matches up with the policy. >> where they are in a few days or, weeks who knows. i thought one of the weirdest moments of the night, there were some weird moments, where sarah huckabee sanders beginning of her speech. i mean, because you watch joe biden's speech and michael steele just laid this out, if you pull tested that speech, most of that 70, five 80% of the public would support it. that's the point. >> meat and potatoes. >> these are reasonable, these will make your lives better. maybe she listen to the speech, maybe she didn't. i mean you need to be adaptable in these moment, i think my gut is she didn't want to be because she speaking to a sm

that is the extreme maga republican agenda. they have no plan, they have no vision, they have no ideas when it comes to making life better for everyday americans. and that is what today's circus on the floor of the house of representatives will once again reveal. we're still waiting for them to put forward a spending plan so we can debate it. show us your plan. instead, they bring to the floor of the house of representatives today a resolution on socialism. to condemn some dictators that we all condemn. but understand, the goal of this phony, fake and fraudulent resolution is just to somehow provide cover for treedges maga republicans -- for extreme maga republicans to try to undermine an agenda that is designed to lift up the health, safety and well-being of the american people. why do we know this? because, going all the way back to the days of f.d.r., through harry truman, into president kennedy, through president johnson, all the way up until president clinton and president obama and president biden, they've called things l

instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans -- some republicans want medicare and social security to sunset. i'm not saying it's a majority -- let me give you anybody who doubts it contact my office. i'll give you a copy -- i'll give you a copy of the proposal. that means congress doesn't vote -- i'll tell you i enjoy conversion. you know, it means if congress doesn't keep the program the way they are -- i'm not saying it's a majority of you. i don't even think it's a significant -- but it's being proposed by individuals. i'm politely not naming them, but it's being proposed by some of you. look, folks, the idea is that we're not going to be -- we're not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don't respond. folks -- [ applause ] so folks, as we all apparently agree social security and medicare is off the books now, right? all right. we've got unanimity. >> joining us now white house reporter for "the wall street journal," my friend ken thomas. ken, thanks for being with us after a late night last night. we just played, of course, a

republicans do the same thing. the only thing i have to say, and this has irked me for years, i hope mccarthy shows a little class tonight and does not resort to what nancy pelosi did a few years ago in tearing up the state of the union. the retribution has got to stop. i have faith you will not do that, not lower himself to that level. i will be interested to see with the president has to said. host: you are the second person to bring up that moment. why was that moment something that stuck with you so much when she tore up the speech she had that donald trump had just given? caller: it was not professional. i was not appalled by it. i just think it was uncalled for. whether you hate trump or hate biden for whatever, i don't think that was called for. the presidency is a position of the government that should have respect. that is my opinion. i just think that was uncalled for. thank you. host: that was february 4, 2020. here is the final minute and a half of president trump's speech that year and the moments afte

now we have the rhetoric and reality that it will be mccarthy behind republicans, but republicans arenald trump and his team will say they didn't support me in the beginning of my campaign. i don't need them now. i can blow away all the competition. have things changed enough since 2016 to where donald trump actually is a lot more vulnerable than he used to be? >> i don't know yet. i don't think anybody really knows. there are still more questions than answers. >> does that mean you don't really know who the republican party is right now? >> i haven't known that for a while. it's a party that's changed. >> good idea or bad for house republicans to go hard on vest gass like hunter biden? >> it's a good idea if they're able to do this in a substantive way. we've seen this in the past, republicans and democrats, where you're not asking the question. you're giving a speech. that's where you can get in trouble. there are serious questions that need to be answered. you have to be careful you don't go overboard as well. >> that's one place for the january 6th committee did excel. it wasn't a

the classic republican response.even though as you pointed out -- so many of that voters believe it. and in fact, that's what i love about your videos. is that the people who vote for the republican party, a lot of them don't see the dark. they take it very literally. early in the show, we were talking about republican attacks on public and education. you went out and recently asked some trump supporting parents about critical race theory, which is a red meat issue for a lot of them. let's have a watch. >> do you think that there should be rules about what is taught in school? >> absolutely. >> what would you like to see? >> this critical race theory. >> critical race theory. i heard about that. why are we doing this? >> what is critical race theory? >> i don't know. >> i've seen that clip about three times. a lot of time. when you talk to people, how do you keep a straight face? number two, can you believe what you're hearing? does this make sense? >> it does make sense, and with a straight face, it's just hours of

are doing these days these days with so many elected republicans in republican candidates. really just wanting to play in politics and press releases and not do any actual legislative governing. i think that nicky is an attractive candidate but you again you have a hailey from 2016 who is this very moderate. a hailey that appealed to that increasingly famous, suburban republican woman, voter. and then you have the nikki haley in 20202019. that really kind of succumbed to the pressure to kiss the ring of trump. and you know, even just in the past several weeks she was on the campaign trail for so many of those super right wing mag a republican. so i think it depends on which hailey we get if, if she comes out in this presidential campaign more closely aligned with the hailey of 2016. that was speaking out against the trump direction of the republican party . then she's great. if she's not, then it's going to be challenging. i think the question that we're going to see as we get further into the campaign is, who is the least bad though? is that as sad as that? that sounds, th

republicans are leery about that.'t eight approve of the boo is and the heckling that goes on during these speeches. i think it's uncalled for no matter which party does it. it certainly happened during the trump years as well with democrats doing it. i think it's wrong when either side does it. but the president was not the model of bipartisanship tonight either when storytime with uncle joe leads us to the conclusion that republicans want to phase out social security. that's absurd. >> my friends, we're running out of time. one more question. donna, to you first. the president is facing near record low approval ratings. only three presidents have had lower approval ratings at this point in their presidency. jimmy carter, ronald reagan, donald trump. is joe biden jimmy carter or ronald reagan? >> you know, i know we're running out of time but joe biden talked to the american people, he didn't talk to partisans. this is not partisan. republicans don't have any ideas so they have to cherry pick what they don't like bec

then you have the republican party. they are enduring the image from last night, georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, booing and hollering, heckling from the back row. the parties official response, delivered by former trump press secretary, now governor of arkansas, a daughter of former governor of arkansas, sarah huckabee sanders, she sounded like a mega fox news fever dream. >> the biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality that americans face every day. he is the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that cannot even tell you what a woman is. his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left. i have signed executive orders to ban crt, racism, and indoctrination in our schools. eliminates the use of derogatory term latin ex-in our government. we are under attack in a left-wing culture war. we did not start, and never wanted to fight. >> every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and warship their fa

i'm a republican. every year i watch the state of the i was hoping joe biden would use the bipartisan congress he was given to put a knowledge branch out to republicans and try to work on making america better for my generation. i don't think he did that tonight. i think it's a sad opportunity for america. governor sanders did a drip -- great job responding. we are optimistic for the future of america. >> what's and if you -- issue of concern for you? >> immigration. joe biden brought this unfortunate father who lost her daughter to drug use. we are seeing all these mishaps at the border. i don't think that is something president biden should be touting. he should be working to fix that. that is something he did bad on his first few days of office. funding that was directed toward -- from president trump toward border security initiatives. >> thank you for calling. where do you go to school? >> daytona beach, florida. >> what are you studying? >> aeronautical science. >> there you go. thank you for cal

so he's seen a lot of different physical showdowns, democrats and republicans republicans 202-748-8001, democrats to to 748 8000 and independence tools to 748-8002. you can text us as well. 202748 8003. ms. goodwin, are the desktops continuingthis week and are the two sides actually talking ? >> this is what schumer has been making, he doesn't like to call it a negotiation because he thinksuntil speaker party says what kind of cuts they want , attached to the debt ceiling vote and lays out his is not the negotiation, obviously mccarthy is saying he met with hbyron in the white house that's something they're portraying has always been at the democrats or even in the room given that brian is a known association that ceiling and opens his thoughts on budget changing separately from the debt ceiling but he says this is such an important vote and hold it hostage and yet he is in the room with mccarthy therefore thinks that on the inside . so they haven't set a date for a new meeting as far as i know they said they want to meet again. i think that democrats are going to be pushing on that sa

a lot of rank and file republicans saying come on, guys. republican senators were horrified. i'm sure mitch mcconnell were horrified. >> mitt romney. >> just shut up. but while they were -- these people were yelling in the back, joe biden was talking about building an intel plant in ohio, talking about the jobs that will go an average of $130,000, a lot of those jobs to people with high school degrees, talking about wisconsin, talking about -- i mean, it really was -- >> made in america. >> made in america. and by the way, they didn't cheer when he said we need to have the supply chain start in america. >> america. >> that's the line. >> that is made in america. and republicans couldn't cheer for that. i just -- i want to follow up on what elizabeth said here. this is really what democrats have not been able to do effectively since bill clinton, when he could go to iowa, any county in iowa, and hug a farmer and know that he had that farmer's vote. >> and i was wondering, why -- because the language -- some of the language that biden used was not different than other speeches,

how do republicans feel with him?d. he's going to be thinking about the fact that you've got things like the debt limit coming up. there's still two years left in his presidency. presumably, he'd like to do something with hem. republicans don't people they have a ton of incentive to have to work with him. even know overwhelming for republicans, the gop base is not in love with joe biden. they've got a lot on their own happening on the republican side. what joe biden needs to do in tonight's speech is make the case to republicans, look, you're going to want some responsible spending things to happen. here's what i'm going to begin to do. and begin to ratchet up that pressure on republicans or else you'll see gridlock. >> if you're the president or prominent politician has a healthy ego. this ticks you off, the approval rating on the economy, 37%. does he have the leadership? 68% lack confidence in his leadership. 62% think he's accomplished little in his time in office. how do you convince people, please change your mi

right-wing republicans, maga republicans, are trying to get it overturned in court. they go to their special little court where they know the judges are in their favor. this will go to the supreme court. we are fighting that so we can get that. millions of others like him can get their lives on track. these nine guests show two things. one, they show the amazing accomplishments we have had in the last senate. i would remind people of our seven major bills in the last year. six were bipartisan. it also shows the need for implementation. implementation of these major accomplishments will be a top poe fuss for us this -- focus for us this year working with the administration, working with our senators enworking with the -- and working with the various agencies as well as whatever legislation is needed. let me go on now to the sotu. i'm looking forward from hearing president biden later today about the amazing progress we have made in improving the lives of american families and to hear his vision for the next two years in the administration. all of the -- as majority le

the republicans.to dispel all of this nonsense, oh, he's too old, because they started heckling him and he parried so artfully, he drew them right into his trap on social security and medicare and then sprung it. so i think that was much help from the republicans, but he's -- i think he's running and i think he's going to win. >> well, with i think he had the benefit of low expectations, too. we were -- if he could get through the speech, that was a win. so it was a little more than that, he went offscript and had a moment, like, oh, wow, get 'em ready for 2024. listen, the republican primary is starting in reality this week. nikki haley's likely to announce. it's the first-time i'm getting a little optimistic. i think we're going to have a real race for the gop ticket. and biden is banking on this being trump versus biden again, and i'm not certain that it's going to be. so he needs to start thinking, you know, how do you take on somebody, whether it's a desantis, a chris sununu, a nikki haley, who i

a new generation of republican leaders are stepping the first e joint session of congress since republicans took control of the house. we are located in statuary hall where we get reactions from the speech starting with bob goode from virginia. good evening. what was your reaction to this beach? >> it should have been a short speech. the president should have said i apologize to the american people for the suffering i've caused on reversing my policies. unfortunately he talked not to taking response ability for the harm that he's caused. he didn't take response ability for the 6 million illegals that invaded the border, the responsibility for the massive inflation he's caused, the rapidly rising inflation, gas prices, so it's very disappointing speech. >> one of the aspects when it comes to the economy he doubted the inflation reduction act and bipartisan infrastructure law and how it affects places like virginia. how was the reaction to that? >> 10 trillion in new spending never in the history of the country. that's what's caused the massive inflation. it's not helped the economy. it's act

that the republicans won.ublican party has nationwide. >> what does that tell you? >> very simple, the failure republican party in new york state, is a reason why the democratic party is not in control right now, and hakeem jeffries is not the speaker of the house. so looking to do right now. for generations, really, the democratic party, had a lazy element to new york state. not asleep at the wheel. the republicans won, and we can't let that happen again. in 2024. and something tells me that, at the very least, you'll see a lot more energy, a lot more resources, hopefully some strategy. and that occurs, then democrats have a pathway to take house back. >> that's what's happening right, now president biden was in new york today, talking infrastructure projects, we've obviously got the money because of the bipartisan infrastructure law that passed. it's interesting to see the democratic party team do something that it really hasn't, done it which would spike the football. not just talk for the next public polic

>> well, republicans, when rick scott issued his campaign manifesto, senate republicans led by mitchcconnell. they knew it was a disaster, huge blunder, but they never knew it was going to be used like this, bludgeoning them at the state of the union. you know, the president sort of lured them into this, then he boxed them in. because at the end, they're like we can't touch social security and medicare, we'll see how that plays out. but, john, he's the president. this is home turf for joe biden up on capitol hill. he's joujousted with republican for a long time and he actually enjoyed that. and he benefited from it. i don't think rick scott benefited from it. >> we'll get to that the specific issue, the biden calling card. the house republicans, their trumpy, even the speaker on fox news saying he believes they overstepped. but, yes, they had every right to take offense. the president was sort of lumping them in one barrel when he himself said it was off the table and kevin mccarthy said wish he hadn't done it. >> it was so partisan, and the frustration i felt, you heard from people

what's the real risk you're hearing from republican lawmakers? >> reporter: republicans are saying the president pould have acted sooner and they should have taken steps to shoot down the balloon. senate republican leader yesterday said it defies belief to suggest there was nowhere between the aleutian islands of alaska and the coast of carolina where the balloon could have been shot down to avoid endangering american lives. senator chuck schumer says those criticisms are premature and political. there's hope among the democratic leaders and republican leaders that there will be more information coming as soon as tomorrow. there's an expectation that a so-called gang of eight, the leaders of congress and the intelligence committee will get highly classified information about exactly what happened here. there will be another briefing for a larger set of members. the senate cleanse committee members as well -- the full senate and the full house could potentially get briefed next week. jake, there is still uncertainty whether house republicans will

that is where we are now is this republican party basically the republican party, like you said, the party that played itself on standing up to communism in the ussr, now lives in fear of two privileged white men. donald trump and parker carlson. >> one quick thing, i know you're about to start your show, i have to say, to be fair to tucker, wouldn't you to pummel ted cruz when you saw him unable to defend his wife after donald trump called her ugly? i mean ted cruz, it is not hard for him to kind of debase and self. >> i agree with you, great to see you as always my friend, great show. best of luck with your new book. we are going to talk about that next week. i'm looking forward to it, mehdi. thanks. take care my friend. coming up on ayman, fighting back house republicans -- unfounded conspiracies and even forced biden to resign over yes, the surveillance balloon. congressman john garamendi is here to outline democratic plans to combat those efforts, plus new allegations against george santos. and the gloves are off for the prospective gop presidential field is already hitting each

medicare, but as priscilla just noted, republicans yesterday did and the republican -- and the whites spreading other clips of some republicans, it's a distinct minority, even the president concedes that who says this but yesterday in wisconsin, battleground state, today florida, most likely not. the president making this point. >> they seem shocked when i raised the plans of some of their members and their caucus to cut social security and marjorie taylor greene and others stood up and said, liar, liar. a lot of republicans, their dream is to cut social security and medicare. well, let me just say this, it's your dream but my veto pen will make it a nightmare. >> again, it would never pass the democratic senate, so what the president is saying just doesn't match with the reality but what he's trying to do is shape public opinion for three or four months down the line when they have to deal with the debt ceiling. >> it's a political strategy. it's part of their messaging as you get towards a potential re-election announcement. look, with the current shape-up of congress when you talk

this is already deeply embarrassing for republicans, which is why you see republicans in new york saying that he should resign. but kevin mccarthy knows he needs the vote, possibly, if things get too tight, but he's also someone now who is all in his already given him committee assignments. so in some ways it can back off. that what you see is george santos path backed into a corner with the fact that he's not sitting on these committees right now and it's really turning into a legal problem for him, not just a political problem, which i think republicans are in some ways comfortable with him living with and dealing with, or the legal problem is going to be, it seems, where he really gets trapped here and gets problematic. >> as jonathan allen put it the other night, at this moment in time, our nation is short on james. that is a problem. yamiche alcindor, jackie alemany, chuck rosenberg, tank you for starting us off. when we come, back tire eagles is laid to rest as his life is celebrated. antonia hilton is here on what is next for the city of memphis. and later, marjorie taylor greene

it is the republican party.t's why that speech is so well constructed because every line is a commercial. every single thing. and you could see him setting it up over and over and over again. and we can imagine the rollout between now and the end of 2024. so it doesn't matter who it is, there's a lot of ammunition there. >> you know what's interesting to me also, michael, is that a lot of what biden was talking about last night is stuff that trump actually used to say, right? the working class are tired of getting screwed. here are the things that republicans -- meanwhile he got -- this republicans clapped for paul pelosi. that was gracious. ending cancer burn bit bill. they wouldn't clap for democracy, giving public schoolteachers a raise. lowering the cost of insulin, creating jobs. when you can get republicans to not stand up for things that most americans say, yeah, the cable companies to stop screwing us over or the bills and things. i don't understand what republican strategy is and why they think that wil

>> unlike republicans are for instance pasi republican tax cuts in the very wealthy and the ultra bigrations which increased the debt by $1.7 trillion, we democrats have reduced it. a it has gone down the years from the trumpet years the ira we pass the first new piece of legislation that for every dollar we spend we are putting dollar debt reduction. brought down three to billion dollars. the ira is properly named it's the first time any party passed a bill that reduced the deficit. we are proud of that. we believe we can do both. we can reduce the debt. enter the phone. he's in this gaffe i was try to answer when the back. >> you think present by gibbet tax revenues on the table as part of negotiations a speaker mccarthy? was he tax reduction of the trump tax cuts we didn't see republican struggle shoulder about that atat all. so it is our view debt ceiling because of the danger, because it would be bad limit. because of these things should be done clean they pursuant to debate closing tax loopholes which we did in the ira and we would like to do more of her them to debate spending

look at the republican party that we're not all trump republicans, so that we really can have that new generation come in and be leaders. man malloy, the founder and executive director of the group republican women for progress. thank you for your time. thank you. oh, no. pandemic restrictions, but still far from normal in berlin, organizers are getting ready to roll out the red carpet for the cities, annual film festival known as the burly knowledge. but beyond the glitz and glamour of the event lives up once again to its reputation as one of the most political in the business. the conflict in ukraine and the protest in iran will be greatly shaping this year's festival. the berlin allah is back after 2 scale down additions this february. it's back to business for one of the world's biggest film festivals, and one of the german capitals, greatest cultural jewels. the organizers are pulling out all the stops to get film lovers of their couches and industry play as out of home office. artistic director carlo schatz new york says this year's festival received more film entries than ever b

you hinted at it there you push for more republican women running for office. what's your personal take on the galle? this is tough. i think we, we kind of her having this tale of to haley's right now. you know, in theory i like hailey, i think she is strong on actual policy, which is leaps and bounds beyond what most other republicans are doing these days these days with so many elected republicans, anatomical candidates, really just wanting to play in politics and press releases and not do not do any actual legislative governing. i think that nicky is an attractive candidate but you again you have a hailey from 2016 who is this very moderate. a hailey that appealed to that increasingly famous suburban republican, woman, voter. and then you have the nikki haley in 20202019 that really kind of succumbed to the pressure to kiss the ring of trump. and you know, even just in the past several weeks she was on the campaign trail for so many of those super right wing mag a republican. so i think it depends on which hailey we get if, if she comes out in this president

some republicans want medicare and social security sunset. >> todd: putting aside the lie republicansre, how can anybody view that statement and say joe biden does want to reach across the aisle when he does the exact opposite in the next breath? >> everything we've seen, he goes and lies and goes and hides and vacations. it was fun to have kevin mccarthy back there, kevin let the american people know joe biden was flat out lying to them. anyern m, if you pel them aside and say is our country more united or divided? they will say divided. every american, i don't care democrat, american or republican, they will say we are more divided, this president is not unifying. >> todd: your point on kevin mccarthy, no ripped i were pas, all i were pas remained in tact. what else can you and the republicans take away from this speech by joe biden as you prepare for 2024? >> they put their blueprint out, lies, fear and blame. take lies to the more than people, we saw that with medicare and social securities, trying to scare people, that is not true and americans put forth optimism in the american

from the republican side.coming kevin mccarthy and people were gently in a good mood going and. but then when he started talking about the things that passed, along party lines. that he's trying to sell to the american public. he lost the room, lost the republican side of the room. republicans came out thinking this was a very partisan speech, very political speech. based on them taking direct aim at them. how does that reflect republican voters? leading voters? some of them that may voted for joe biden in the election. how does a view coming out of the speech? that will be the big question going forward. and he tries to lay out his accomplishments tonight. but the challenge for him is to convince the american people that these accomplishments are actually having an impact on our lives. >> another question is whether or not he was tough enough on china. we will talk about that after the quick break! next level. this is the lexus nx with intuitive tech... (beeps) car: watch for traffic ...and our most advanced
