His full stride in the peach state. President biden for President Trump holding dueling Campaign Events in georgia right now. Good evening i am jon scott and this is the fox report. We plan to hear from both candidates a bit later this hour. But first, President Biden admits to msnbc today he now regrets referring to the suspect in lake and rileys murder as a quote illegal, watch. I have not should not have used the legal it was undocumented when i spoke the difference between trump and meet one of things i talked about of the border was the way he talks about berman and he talks about these people polluting the blood. Jon lucas of tomlinsons live at the white house with morbid. It was just two nights ago during the state of the Union Address president bided use the word illegal to describe the suspected killer of 22yearold Nursing Student lake and oreilly in georgia.

course? i think the president going to kyiv doesn t settle that problem once and for all. ideally, it would have been great had he shown up, you know, with senator mcconnell or somebody like that who is strongly in support of the war. again, it sends a reassuring message to ukraine about american staying power. which, jonathan, is critical for europe. europe has followed behind and with the united states for the most part. this is leading from ahead, and that is what is required in this instance. we are now past 6:00. welcome to morning joe at this morning. joe, mika and willie have the day off. i want to bring in katty kay, special u.s. correspondent for bbc news, into our live, rolling coverage of this presidents day and president biden s surprise trip to ukraine, one meant to show a real symbol of solidarity, katty, with kyiv, as it has weathered russia s invasion now for 12 months. yeah, jonathan, what a day for us to kick off presidents s day, to see these images.
to hit the area in over a century. the epicenter in the high atlas mountains near marrakesh is a yunesco world heritage site. equipment and manpower are limited in this region. patients are waiting outside hospitals, and residents are sleeping on the streets, fearing intense aftershocks. more than 700 people are in critical condition. officials believe the death toll will steadily rise. i want to bring in ben wedeman for more on all this. ben, you ve been to the area. set the scene for our viewers, what the topography is like, who lives there, why it s a tourist attraction and how an effarthque of this magnitude is cause so much damage. this earthquake happened just a few minutes after 11:00 p.m. friday evening. from the video we ve seen of cctv for instance, there was a small jolt followed by this massive earthquake. you see buildings just collapse in one cctv video. a block of buildings just falls into the street, sending tens of thousands of people sleeping outside last
not received well, obviously. it demonstrates the russians do not, a year into their invasion, have control over ukraine, basically. remember, they expected to have kyiv within days of that invasion on february 24th of last year. here we are, almost 365 days later, and they re nowhere near there. doesn t mean they re not bombarding kyiv. they are, as the air-raid sirens made clear, that they were triggered by a mig apparently flying in belarus, according to people in kyiv. the ability of an american president to show up there like that, that demonstrates something that the russians would not have expected when they started this war. i think that s the point president biden made today. they thought putin thought they could crack the western solidarity. over time, people would get tired. fatigue would set in, and president biden is making the case that, no, there s not going to be fatigue, at least on the part of the americans. jason beardsley, before we came on air, we were joking
of by accident in rules rewrite by aaron burr of all people. so it s really such a shame that history has been so distorted in this debate. we re going to squeeze in a commercial break here in our live coverage of this situation. and when we come back, we re going to come back to that point that president biden made today in his press conference that this is not over. in the president s televised press conference today he said they will come back at the voting rights issue after this vote tonight. we ll be right back. e after this vote tonight we ll be right back. taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot wouldn t you like to get away? sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name
