that intimidated by one month of sarah sanders being governor?> i think that sarah just poke at something that's got to bother him which is that he is the governor of what was once one of the most you to full prosperous states in the union and he's allowed certain places to become like a third world country. i take no pleasure in saying this, but you go to los angeles you go to san francisco, these are places that used to be the center of world prosperity and now you have open air drug markets, homeless tent cities a far as the eye can see. he may be needs to look in the mirror and recognize his complete failure to focus on public safety is the problem. the fact that joe biden is taking those policies nationwid which is why we see a rising murder rate across our country, that is the problem. it's not sarah huckabee sanders pointing out that average americans just want public safety. >> your reaction to last night' state of the union address, and your reaction to the story we are covering tonight about the fbi and touch with big tech companies try

the work they still want to do on behalf of americans, all you also have republicans casting sarah huckaby sanders- sarah huckabee sanders and her response, leaning into the culture wars in a different sort of appeal think to the working class voters both of these parties are attempting to harness headed into 2024. yamiche: peter, the other thing you pointed out to our producers and i had to double check, president biden spent very little time talkingbout global issues, ukraine and china, some of the things we see as priorities in the white house agenda. what do you make of that? peter: it was inverse proportions, the amount of time he probably spent in private dealing with china and ukraine just to say the two of them and he didn't mention any of the others. turkey just had a monster earthquake, no mention of that, no mention of south america or north korea. i think it shows how much this is a campaign oriented speech. he rolled out a lot of things that are good for the progressive base that will never pass the republican house. he did it to state a position, this is what i'm fighting for, and if

that is the governor's mansion in little rock, where sarah huckabee sanders will be speaking from in just a minute. here she is. >> good evening, i am sarah huckabee sanders. being a mom to three young children taught me not to believe anything. i heard tonight from president biden. from out-of-control inflation and violent crime, to the dangerous border crisis and threat from china. biden and the democrats have failed to you. they know it, and you know it. and it is time for a change. tonight, let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless american idea that government exists, not to rule the people, but to serve the people. democrats want to rule us with more government control, but that's not who we are. america is the greatest country the world has ever known because we're the freest country the world has ever known. we're the people who are strong and resilient. five months ago, i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. it was a hard time for our family, particularly our kids scarlett, huck, and george. but we kept our faith and persevered. thanks to exceptional doctors here in arkansas

because i know sarah huckabee sanders. she's a warm person. she's a smart person. she just became governor of arkansas. arkansas needs real leadership to bring people together and she had an opportunity to show that side of herself, and instead she's chasing the crazies off the cliff calling all us crazy. there's something going wrong where someone like her when i know she knows better did that. >> they're doing it because it's a winning message. and i thought joe biden did great last night but he did the same thing where he pointed out a few republican extreme views like they're going to take away your social security and medicare. for each party it's a winnoing tactic to say look at these folks. they're trapped in a two party system where in my view the two parties should be a party in itself. >> on the flip side, george, there are people, democrats including liberals who are starting to say that wokeness is getting them in trouble and going too far, and it's a great talking point for the right. and here's nicholas christoff a week ago in this column saying i fea

thank you so much for being here sarah sanders your thoughts on her performance after and give your taken. >> well maria, great to be with you, and sarah did a great job just is getting started as governor of arkansas, of course, we know her from trump administration, you know she is a new generation of are leadership the republican party, but i think really sharp contrast what she talked about what joe biden rambled through angry divisive speech continued talking aboutall old 60s addages raising taxes more government, baggage fees resort fees seem to be the biggest complainant coming into the white house, i can tell you maria the biggest complainant i hear inflation spending in washer open southern border crime rampant in communities state of the union not good because of joe biden policies seemed like he wanted to double down on it wants to raise taxes even more after heels over trillion-dollar tax-and-spend bill he signed into law in a partisan basis from nancy pelosi speaker, american people are fed up with it, why they gave is a republican house, in fact, you look at polling today m

>> absolutely, sarah huckabee sanders nailed it, great be jo.at is happening with the border and crime sky rocketing and inflation or abandoning energy independence. he didn't mention china or our kids who have been left behind by woke helpless and shutting them down during the pandemic. none of that was addressed last night and republicans lead with this next generation like sarah huckabee sanders. >> todd: get more into the next generation, sanders calling for a new, younger generation of republican leadership. you are in the trenches and know who potential candidates are, is that attainable in the 2024 cycle? >> we have a huge field and we are seeing it across our party is leaders stepping up. joe biden has left generations of americans behind, it is not about the next generation of republicans, it isern ms who have been left behind by this administration, whether the fentanyl crisis or crime or what is happening in schools. republicans talking about school choice, glad to see sarah bring that up last night. republicans are ready to take the

breitbart with the headline from overnight, sarah huckabee sanders attacks the radical left in it gopted the union response. sarah huckabee sanders response to joe biden's state of the union dream hit all the right notes is how it played at redstate. the response on twitter from speaker kevin mccarthy saying sarah huckabee sanders just knocked it out of the park by contrast between her speech and bidens couldn't be more clear. republicans offer a vision for a future built on not longer this tweet from bill hagerty the senator from tennessee saying her response this evening presented a sharp contract with president biden's tone deaf and out of touch address. governor sanders articulated a clear vision that will serve and lift up american workers and families of all backgrounds. and one more senator, this from chuck grassley of iowa. saying she showcased great hope for the future of america and a gr8 need to change course of issues hurting our communities and our families, saying let's work together and get our economy back on track and fight crime insecure our border. no surprise it pl

sarah huckabee sanders did a beautiful job. >> she was great, wasn't she? >> ainsley: we'll play a sound bite and get your reaction on the other side. >> in the radical left america, washington lights your hard-earned money onir foo. you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves and our children are taught to hate one another on account of race, but not to love one another or our great country. whether joe biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist, his administration has been hijacked by the radical left. the dividing line in america is no longer between right or left, the choice is between normal or crazy. it is time for a new generation of republican leadership. >> ainsley: she used normal or crazy a few times, i think three times, the word crazy what is your reaction to her speech? >> i thought the governor did an excellent job. i've known her for a number of years, when i asked her to give the speech, a lot of people don't want to do it, you don't have an audience. if people listen to the words of this governor, youngest

>> the best part of the speech was sarah huckabee sanders rebuttal. -- how about on the speech? how about joe biden's speech? what do you think? >> well, there were no surprises. he makes everything sound great and it's not. it's the worst it's been the last two years. s it disheartening. >> pete: carter, what do you think? >> typically liberal speech. evidence promised everything but deliver nothing. and but i think that the best part of it was when he tried to blame the republicans for, you know, social security, cutting social security and medicare and all along that's never been part of their platform. and so i think he got his own medicine on that one. [laughter] >> pete: he was called out pretty quick on that one no doubt. i agree. sarah huckabee sanders did a fantastic job, quite a contrast between her and him. brenda, carter, thank you. >> i think. so i think we are going to see a real future with her. >> she may be giving us the state of the union address herself. >> pete: rave review for sarah huckabee sanders and joe biden, you know, you he

however the gop i think has done themselves no favors by picking sarah huckabee sanders. it is a pick that makes very little political sense. for republicans to win in 2024, they must win independents. they lost independents in 2022. they lost independents in 2020. in 2018. they must win independents. independents are turned off by trump and trumpism. sarah huckabee sanders is world famous for defending donald trump on you know, as press secretary. she repeated many of his lies. came up with new lies herself. already repeated many of the trump era gimmicks like banning the nonexistent crt in arkansas schools. this is not somebody who's going to reach independent voters the gop needs. it's very similar i would say to the decision to keep rhonda mcdaniel as head of the rnc. >> you're mentioning two planks where the rnc isn't always of interest to everyone, but it is the actual network and funding mechanism of the party. and then what happens tonight will be seen by far more people than who's a staffer at the rnc, who as you say, taking someone who's not just in the trumpy w

apparently, in this case, they think that sarah huckabee sanders.ld just compare and contrast, right? they would say, well, this is not what we -- this record isn't great. we're gonna do this instead. the president hasn't done x, y, and z. it's pretty a pro forma political tit-for-tat, usually during the state of the union. but we see now it's very clear, like i said, the people they put forward to do the responses are usually who the party feels already up and coming, rising stars, people that they want and national spotlight put on. and what does that say, it's saratoga be sanders. >> yes, yes, why would you want to put a spotlight on her? i get it, she's the first woman governor of arkansas at age 40. she's the youngest of any current governor. but, i mean, many would argue first of all, she's just a baby, her father was a governor, her father was a trump sycophant before she got her job with trump. and of course, there is a record of nonstop lying, which is mortalized on snl and everywhere else. why bring her back? >> because it's on brand for t

the proble that is thproblem.m is notpointg sarah huckabee. sanders pointing out thatav average americans we juserage it public safety. >> let me get your reaction to last night's state ofo last n the union address and your reaction to the stor, any we are covering tonight about the fbi. in touch with big techech companies trying to influence them, even though t they themselves hao infld l the unabiding laptop that they had every everyp opportunithey to authenticate. >> well, you know, this is myy i first state ofrs the unioncraz address, so ity was pretty cray to watch the president of the united states tell so manyr. whoppers. heguess my my reaction to it, sean, is he wa ws a gu wy who ws taking a victory lap about an economy that's still mired inwea inflation, where a lot of businesses are struggling and a lot of families are struggling to make ends meet. it's completely preposterous. enouknowme, on thiet s fbi store cannot say this enough thatt the leadership of the fbi working with big tech directlyh directly interfered in interfered in the twent

[video clip] >> i think the president is hoping to do two things broadly when it comes to the economy in the state of the union. the first is to put the progress we have made economically into the broader frame that really compelled him to run for president in the first place and the broader frame around what it actually means to pursue what he refers to as a bottom up, middle out economic strategy. and make a clear contrast to the trickle-down economic philosophy that has pervaded thinking for years and decades in the past. you will hear him talk about the progress we have made, but in that context that this has been an animating

sarah sanders is going to arkansas, the first female governor of her home state. so was bill clinton back in the day. she is not endorsed donald trump for president. for republicans, they're trying to show that the party has some rising stars but they are not showing any resistance. >> we're going to get back to the subtext. democrats are hoping he is not the one. if not him, those who? >> that's the central question. vice-president harasses the obvious heir apparent. governor it will be a messy race. we will have to wait and see. rick klein, thank you so much. we really appreciate the conversation. >> response. an 8:00 p.m., of abc news. wheel of fortune and jeopardy. abc news at 11:00. i congress member is the new political analyst. today at 5:00 p.m. prior to the state of the union address and will be here for analysis after the speech during the special edition so keep it here the whole night. coming up later in the show, lonnie chen will be here to give the gop perspective on the state of the union and gop in california. next, our media talk why the reparatio

i don't know if you heard, but we've got the youngest governor in america, sara sanders -- sarah huckabee sanders, and the first woman governor in arkansas, and the very first father-daughter ever to be governor of a state is going to give our state of the union reresponse. we're excited about it. especially what she's been able to achieve so far as governor in arkansas. so i'm very excited by that. we'll also have a response in spanish. juan's story, immigrating to america at age 11. his father drove as but in tucson, arizona -- drove a bus in tucson, arizona. just a true american story as well. yesterday i had a meeting with the president. i got to see the president again this morning. he said it was a good meeting as well. no predetermined idea buzz we're going -- ideas but we're going to meet again about the debt ceiling understand and ways we can -- and ways we can find ways for savings and put ourselves on a path to balance. i think that's very important. if you look at any of the latest poll, 74% of americans believe there has to be some savings in what we're spending. we're at 120

i love sarah sanders and arkansas. not moving there yet, i'm still here in california but i can tell you first on the specific point he makes about crime. anyone with a brain and eyes to see can see how p preposterous that claim is. go to any city in california under his rule and the democrats, it's not just gavin newsom as governor, democrats had sole control of the state legislature, which passes all these pro crime laws for 25 years. so there's nowhere else to blame and people don't feel safe. they are increasingly anxious about just going about their daily lives because they can see the crime wave. they've de-criminalized a lot of crime so shoplifting and robbery is just now completely ignored by the police as is drug taking so, yes, the crime statistics may in some sense be a comparison because they've taken crime out of the statistics but there's a general point here as well, what on earth is gavin newsom doing endlessly picking fights of govern herbs of other states when his -- governors of other states when his

other than, that it was kind of an american carnage speech, from sarah huckabee sanders, talking about how president biden surrendered his presidency, to the woke mob, and he has been hijacked by the radical left, and america's having war wage on it by the, left weather market as a, lot and the right didn't. seek >> to, things of actual basis. donald trump's, known and was reported extensively, in some of the most harrowing book reporting, and it lantern getting broke, it to believe that the men and women who served in the military, and died, wrote quote suckers and losers. he was especially disgusted by men and women who've been injured, in the service of our country, so statistic i don't even like remembering it. so, to paint him as some historic, heroic commander-in-chief is falling, politically, the high point was that cancer survival story, and as a young mom, and as a woman with a lot of ambition, that's a beautiful story. and that she herself her mother had survived. it as a high, point i, think of the speech. the rest of it was being like high on a pm hour, fox and not recogniz

sarah huckabee sanders will deliver tonight's republican response.l now speak for the entire party. a party that has also shown signs of waivering on donald trump. nbc has learned she's expected to hit democrats tonight on border issues, crime, drugs, cultural wars and that she will suggest president biden is unfit for office. joining me now is republican strategist and former communications director for the republican national committee, doug high. doug, thanks so much. i was speaking with an aide in the governor's office as well today and she said that afghanistan is going to come up. afghanistan is such a big issue for the republican party and as ashley said at the top of the show, it could be a vulnerability for this president. >> yeah, absolutely. it's part of where joe biden's core promise to voters was i'm a professional and i'm going to hire professionals and what we saw in the response to afghanistan, in some of the response to the documents that have been found in delaware is that calls some of that into question. so we expect republicans w

and i bet sarah huckabee-sanders when she moments from now speaks -- >> he did talk about a record number of small businesses that have gotten created. >> he did and talked about how that's hopeful and the engine of america. let's get back to chad because he's there and has a perch on all of this over on capitol hill. chad, you saw the back and forth, you heard the back and forth. it seems to be coming more and more we're going down this path of people being very verbal from the audience during the state of union. what do you make of it tonight? >> it's almost like a debate you would see in a high school from time to time. it was notable, kelly ferris who was inside said marjory green yelled liar at one point. this is reminiscent by a speech by president obama on obamacare that was not state of the union in 2009. you had these vocal, visceral reactions from republicans. in fact according to kelly, there was one point where he was recognizing paul pelosi who was brutally attacked late last year just before the election and you had several members, andy biggs and a couple of others who didn

and it's a very, again sarah huckabee sanders throat red meat in the republican response.ficult the next two years will be to get anything done, because democrats and republicans, while they're smile and each other, and of pleasantries. the fact, is i don't think we can be able to get together to get anything done or the next two years. >> but there, say a smile on your, face they're all trying to take your place. president biden is asking for bipartisan schiff tonight, the question the mark president is raising as, well is really actually get it. and we ask a republican about that very moment, congressman mike johnson is next. ♪ let's go! ♪ what you gon' do? you ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'! ♪ ♪ new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. >> in his first state of the union redress, when republicans now in control the house, president biden calling on repub

here's the bigger contest i have with sarah huckabee sanders. families are under attack right now. and if sarah suggests that, it says to me she's insecure in parenting, to be honest. i don't mean that as a real inexecutive, but i'm comfortable to my kids being expose today a lot of diversity of thought and i want them to be because i want them to grow up having the opportunity to kind of distill competing theories and lifestyles and understand the broader world. and at home we can bring them to the values that my wife and i choose for them. so to suggest that somehow the government is stronger than parenting, which is at the root of the republican argument right now, that somehow sarah huckabee sanders and her husband are not capable of overpowering whatever her kids are exposed to in the classroom is a weakness in presenting, not a per version of government. and i think that message tonight is working in red states, but it doesn't work nationally. and you see the suburbs respond in critical races and say wait a minute we don't want to go to th

sarah huckabee sanders and most of the republican party has decided to jet san that traditional idea t a lot of time in arkansas, sarah huckabee sanderss' speech last night doesn't even appeal to a majority of all arkansasens in this. but they don't care about that anymore. they have decided that this culture this they want to retain or go back to or whatever it is, that they want, which is monolithic in its way, and i also found it fascinating that in the course of her speech, she blamed the culture war on the left in this. when all the left wants to do is say cant we all have a multiple of cultures where everybody is accepted and we treat everybody with decency. those words send sarah huckabee sanders crazy. they don't want multiculture, they want one culture and. and one culture that's the same culture that's been along. i think it does underline a point that the republican party no longer has leaders that the to lead the state, the country or a community as a heal whoel. they only want to lead the small group of people that reenforce the crazy every day of the week. >> matt dowd,

the other breaking news is that pbs and cnn hated sarah huckabee. sanders speech. >> watch this speech. i'm trying not to levitate from my chair because there were so many. she leaned so hard into the culture wars that she just slid right into ignorance or as enemies. >> but as fellow americans, really what her speech was, was, no, let's treat each other as enemies. >> that was the tone and tenor of the beginning of her speech. tone and tenor of it. joe , your thoughts? yeah. you want to know why these networks have so much trouble attracting an audience? because they are wholly predictable. trace, when you tune in, you knew they would praise biden. you knew that they would bash huckabee. sanders, there is no there is no debate. there is no different perspectives. on what we saw tonight. and in tonight's state of the union, race was so typical of state of the union addresses. >> you know, it was a laundry list of policy priorities. it was touting so-called successes. in the end, biden should be based on what he did not mention, like we talked about before,

sarah sanders delivering a powerful g.o.p. rebuttal to joe biden state of the union.s governor blasting by and for surrendering his presidency to the woke mob. >> he's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what a woman is. his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left. the dividing line in america is no longer between right or left. the choice is between normal or crazy. >> judge jeanine: she used that a lot, normal and crazy, in the speech, and it made so much sense. >> dana: the best response for the state of the union i've ever seen. i usually advise people not to accept the offer because he usually doesn't turn out that well. if it's unmemorable, that's your best outcome usually. but i think she really knocked it out of the park last night and i like that she wasn't russian i do like it. she drew all these contrasts, normal versus crazy. that caught people's attention and she wasn't rushed. she had to wait quite a while because biden took forever to get out of the chamber. she was very clear about a

that is what i would love to be. >> i mean, sarah huckabee sanders -- she is a trump surrogate. iversity, to try and -- here's the bigger contest i have with sarah huckabee sanders, and it is this. i don't think kids and families are under attack right now. and if sarah huckabee sanders suggest that, it suggests to me, she is insecure in parenting, to be honest. i don't mean that as a real invective. but i'm comfortable with my kids being exposed to a lot of diversity of thought. and i want them to be. because i want them to grow up having the opportunity to distill competing theories and lifestyles and understands the broader world. and at home, we can bring them to the values that my wife and i choose for them. so, to suggest -- at the root of the republican argument right now. that somehow, sarah huckabee sanders and her husband are capable of overpowering whatever her kids are exposed to in the classroom, it's a weakness of parenting, not a provision of government. i think that message tonight is working in red states, but it does not work nationally. but you see the suburbs

biden's going to stand there, tell us a bunch of lies and probably not remember the next day, and sarah sanderses, because that can be bad or good -- >> you've got to be the well hydrated, marco rubio learned that. >> this story's going to be the ignored by the mainstream media, this should be big news, but it probably won't be. [laughter] a german dog traderrer earned the guinness world record for the most dogs in a conga line. 14. there they go. there the they are. [laughter] they're wonderful. this trainer in germany, he stole the prize which was won by his daughter a couple years ago, she got nine of the dogs to do the conga line and, of course, now, they'll save the world with this kind of stuff. in the meantime -- >> i'm going to have to teach bela how to do this. >> i've got a few comments i'd like to the make. [laughter] i know this is right before -- go back to the -- i know this is right before the "fox & friends" team sends out their rundown for the following day, so i know your done for today, but for tuesday, "fox & friends," hear me out, you need to get these guys on the show. >>

conservatives like asa hutchinson, nikki haley, larry hogan, chris christie and ron desantis and sarah huckabee sanders. there's a real ideological fissure on the right. sarah huckabee sanders represents the latter. >> some of what the president discussed is this unity agenda, what he thinks democrats and republicans can get done for veterans, against cancer. as we talk about optics, how much will we see kevin mccarthy support all of that knowing that there's some in his conference who don't want him to applaud, stand, support the president at all? >> i suspect kevin mccarthy spent a lot of time thinking about when it is appropriate to applaud, support, and to do the thing that the americans are looking for, which is government to work and not just be obstructionist. he knows he has a national stage. 40 million people will have their eyes on kevin mccarthy for the first time ever. he waited a long time. but he has to, you know, corral the far extremes of his very, very tenuous majority. i suspect that will be one of the people reading between the lines with his body language. i suspect he will not -- h

. >> governor sarah huckabee sanders, the youngest governor in the country making a patriotic plea for new leadership, younger leadership in the country from the governor's mansion in arkansas. she did a good job, not an easy task, but a strong speech from the unwhiest governor in the country. >> it is always a challenge. there is not a crowd there. you can choose to have a crowd. marco rubio, a couple were really tough. these are big audiences tonight for the state of the union address and this response. the president will be taking his message on the road. the network covering the super bowl gets an interview with the president, we have not received an answer if they will officially or not. we're running out of days, harold ford, what about this? >> he should accept the invitation. if i was president biden in the white house, i would say yes. >> there you heard it from harold ford, wait and see if we hear from the white house. >> the teams are decided, the interview is not, the most important part of the night. >> thank you for watching our coverage of the state of the union address

entirely offensive. >> senator huckabee sanders doesn't want students to understand why the little rock nine are honored on the grounds of the arkansas state capital. the sarah was so angry when nine african american students entered little rock central high 1957 should not be taught. and why arkansas governor warble fathers ordered the states national guard to block their entrance. arkansas and florida aren't the only states failing to teach this history. in alabama, 300 high school students walked out of class to protest restrictions to their black history month program. al.com reports, students claimed that an administrator said there black history month event shouldn't mentioned figures before 1970. a claim that school officials denied. the student organizer of that protests told al dot come, we are disrespected. i just really hope that doing this shows them that we are going to take a stance for doing things that are right. that student, jahmai brown, will join us next. you could manufacture a whole new way of manufacturing. you could disrupt buying habits before they disrupt your business. you could fire up a new generation of start-ups. and fuel the s

we talked earlier, the arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders on the job just shy a month, delivered alternative. but sarah huckabee sanders seems to be talking very narrowly to the republican base. >> he's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what a woman is. whether joe biden believes this madness or is simply who weak to resist it, his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left. 8. >> fact-check, bizarre? >> right. >> you know, these are notorious things, anyway, to pull off the rebuttal. obviously, i think she has national political ambitions and trying to set herself up for that. it was pretty dark. >> yeah -- sorry, in addition to really playing to the base, she made it a very clear generational argument. she spoke about, she's the youngest governor, president biden is 80. a call for a new generation of republican leadership. not clear what that means in terms of 2024 and her former boss president trump. >> right. or she did attribute to him the trip to iraq. most commanders in chief do that. it was just kind of a

we want to go now to the governor of arkansas, sarah huckabee sanders. >> i'm sarah huckabee sanders.ildrente t to believe every story i hear. so forgive me for not believing much of anything i heard tonight from president biden. from out-of-control inflation and violent crime, to the dangerous border crisis and threat from china, biden and the democrats have failed you. they know it and you know it. and it's time for a change. tonight, let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless american idea, that government exists not to rule the people, but to serve the people. democrats want to rule us with more government control, but that's not who we are. america is the greatest country the world has ever known because we are the freest country the world has ever known with a people who are strong and resilient. of five months ago i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. it was a hard time for my family, particularly our kids, scarlet, hock, and george. but we kept our faith and persevered. thanks to exceptional doctors here in arkansas, a successful surgery, and the grace of god, i am cancer-fre

tonight, we're learning arkansas's republican governor, sarah huckabee sanders, may soon be signing a bill that would impose restrictions on direct shows. that's according to the washington post. this proposal still needs to make its way through the state house to the governors desk. her spokesperson telling the post, the proposal is not about banning anything but protecting kids from sexually explicit drag shows. unquote. cnn has reached out to governor sanders for comment, and we're still waiting to hear back. that's not all, her first month in office, she issued an executive order to prohibit critical race theory and arkansas schools. she also banned the term latinx, in official documents. and it's not just her, across the country more politicians are getting traction with rhetorical and legislative wars on so-called woke culture and language. i want to turn now to new york times columnist nicholas kristoff, he has a new piece out on these language wars, and right in part, i fear that linguistic contortions, however well meant, aren't actually addressing our country's desperate ine

so sarah sanders, the gop response. >> john: looking forward to that.ll be interesting to watch. house speaker kevin mccarthy met with president biden yesterday on the debt limit as new polling finds economic issues are of top concern for americans. 68% of registered voters are extremely or very concerned about the debt limit debate. j.d. vance, the first opportunity to have a speak with you on "america reports" since you took the oath of office. good to be with you, senator. thank you. so, first question right out of the blocks here, is there going to be an agreements on the debt ceiling and if so, what do you think that looks like? >> certainly going to be an agreement on the debt ceiling because all of us agree the united states has to pay its debts. no one is arguing against that. i think to the extent the president is saying republicans want to take us off the cliff, it's fundamentally a scare tactic, it's not serious and does not help come to an agreement. and we have to get ourselves back on the path to fiscal sustainability, and that's really wh

. >>> meanwhile in the republican response, sarah huckabee sanders does her version of carnage tying party back to trump. >>> also tonight, reaction to president biden's call for police reform as twisted new details emerge today about tyre nichols' death after a vicious beating by memphis police. >>> we begin tonight with a state of the union address for the books. when last night president biden achieved what kevin mccarthy could never do, which was uniting the room and getting republicans to jump to their seats in support of medicare and social security. yes, that happened. it was a master class, really, on outnegotiating republicans, pulled off by biden who sparred with a raucous crowd. >> no president added more to the national debt in any four years than my predecessor. they're the facts. check it out. check it out. 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'm glad to see
