connected to the president. attorney general merrick garland has assigned the case to a u.s. attorney appointed by donald trump, but that didn t stop the former president from asking when the fbi lances to raid the white house. plus a major victory for the new speaker of the how, but with kevin mccarthy corral his caucus into governing. and the emotional vigil for a heroic teacher who got her kids out of the classroom after she was shot by a student. we ll have the good news from her doctors. but let s go live to mexico, which is where we see president biden. he is meeting with the mexian president and his wife. there you see the two first ladies, who are walking that shot freezing a bit, but mike memoli is there traveling with the president. we also have intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. former deputy attorney general. as we watch them go up the stairs, tell us what we re seeing. i assume we just missed what is often the formal photo. reporter: just in the min
do over? you know, um,ible yes me no. i know there are going to be respond to that what does he think perfect? absolutely, i m the first to amendment i m far from perfect. but when you say do over? you know i really can t see something i would do completely over. katie: we ll respond to that mr. fauci may have been wrong about everything from lockdowns to triple masking to getting quadruple boosted but when the truth came out he never admitted he was wrong. he just told you that he was the science. they get up and really aim their bullets at tony fauci. well, people could recognize there s a person there so it s easy to criticize. but, they are really criticizing science. because i represent science. i m the bad guy to an entire subset of people because i represent something that is uncomfortable for them. it s called the truth. it s very dangerous, chuck, because a lot of what you are seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science. katie: they wer
Just this past week the prc vessels acted dangerously and unlawfully as our philippine friends conducted a Routine Resupply Mission in that your own, their own exclusive Economic Zone in the South China Sea. I want to be clear, very clear, the United States defense commitment to the philippines is iron clad, is iron clad. Any attack on the filipino Aircraft Vessels or armed forces will invoke the Mutual Defense Treaty with the philippines. And mr. Prime minister, today we renewed our commitment to defend the values that are at the heart of this alliance. And we continue to stand as one to forge a Better Future for both of us and all the region. So, i want to thank you again for being here. Thank you for your partnership and your leadership in this critical moment. And i would like to now turn it over to you. Well, thank you very much, mr. President. Australia and the United States have stood together for more than a century and it is indeed a great honor for me to stand alongside my fr
motion to vacate the speakership on its face, that is something that s important, but also the fact that that was a redline that mccarthy wasn t going to cross, that he crossed it once by lowering ha that threshold and went to exactly where the conservatives were, said that only one member would be able to do that. so again, mccarthy was able to negotiate and get the speakership, but the question is going to be at what cost. so we all know that where you start as speaker doesn t have to be and often isn t where you end up. that can go both ways, up and down. but what does this early start tell you about mccarthy s strength or lack thereof? i think mccar has empowered the rest of the conference. he said this is going to be a bottom-up process. i m going to let you offer your amendments and decide what we re bringing up. and that works well if you have a conference that s interested in legislating. it s interested in compromise.
fundamentally broken the reason it s fundamentally broken is too much power resides in the hands in the speaker of the house. that s not anti-kevin mccarthy statement that s a reality of what happens in washington, d.c. there are members who want to see a dehe devolving of that power in the speaker s office into the hands of the members. so the members who are elected by their constituency actually have the ability to do the job they were sent to washington to do. one of the issues about our southern border, the reason why it s such a catastrophe is because congress has abdicated their authority through the budget process and given it all to the president. the omnibus panel that just passed a week ago, in that bill congress is now precluded until next september to do something about it. so what certain members want to see are rules changes which, in my view, are are legitimate rules changes so we have a bottom up process in the house of representatives so the business of the american p
