it is the first day of black history month. happy black history month, everybody. or as ron desantis calls it, month. good morning, everyone. thank you for joining us. we re going to get to what is happening down in florida. there you key caitlan is live on capitol hill. president biden face s a series of investigations. also moments from now, the gop is gearing up to kick congressman omar off of a key committee. big questions on whether or not they have enough votes. they believe they do. they face some pushback from republicans. also hunter biden with a counter offensive. the president s son demanding investigations into those who access data from his personal laptop. what is behind this really aggressive new legal strategy. we ll get to all that in a moment. we re going to begin with breaking news out of ukraine. there is heavy shelling this morning. live to sam kylie. sam, hello. what are you hearing? well, hearing is quite literally what we ve been doing here,
ukraine. we believe that many of the points on the peace plan put forward by china are consistent with russian approaches and can be taken as the basis of a peaceful settlement when the west and kyiv are ready for it, this readiness is not observed on their side. since the war began, russia has become far more dependent on china. china has been propping up russia s economy amid western sanctions by purchasing its energy replacing western supp suppliers in electronics and aircraft and providing an alternative to the u.s. dollar. she is inviting putin to china this year and told putin they share similar goals. putin says russia has closely studied beijing s peace proposal for ukraine, a plan that washington says would solidify russia s grip on occupied land. china would not want to see putin fail. it would set a terrible example for the chinese system. reporter: china and russia have a complicated history, but their shared adversarial relationship with washington is drivi
to play out yet again in this process. do you mean like when will that come back to the floor? i think jackie s point is really great, like we re former hill reporters, we wrecked our brains. we cannot remember a single time where the majority had to rely on the minority did not get a rule passed began as a rule out of committee path. now i know this sounds very inside baseball and arcane, but the reason the house is not the senate is because the speaker controls the rules committee. kevin mccarthy gave that away. kevin mccarthy paid the price for and it looks like speaker johnson s going to pay the price as well. yeah what is happening inside these forces that we saw throw kevin mccarthy the overboard the last time around, it seems as though there s some hesitancy do this yet again. but at the same time you have marjorie taylor greene going out to the cameras and saying, i ve got more people coming on board what do we know? this is a power struggle. this is an internal power str
to, quote, let the hosts run wild with election conspiracies and dominion wants to put the murdochs on the stand. yeah, i mean, and i think this is just a fascinating case, especially if you talk to even republicans on the hill quietly, they ll say why did fox let this get to discovery because all of this stuff is coming out now as jackie said, and we re just finding out all of this information that we wouldn t have known others. and one of the reporters who worked for the network who actually do credible reporting, what do they do now, knowing that all of this is out there? how many of them are there left? they re hill reporters. how do you go up to the hill and do your job. one of them almost got fired because she decided to tweet the truth. others of them did get fired, chris stierer walt and bill salmon, and a whole bunch of them because they stood up for the truth. a lawyer for fox today said the network is not going to try to prove that dominion did, in fact, rig the
into that meeting. you saw kevin mccarthy emerge with a much much different tone coming out of it saying he is optimistic they can find some common ground. he says it is a series of meetings they re likely to have. despite that optimism, there are big questions. one is this demand from republicans that they cut spending in order to raise the debt ceiling. the question is where are the cuts going to come from? and kevin mccarthy said, you know, not medicare or social security but big questions about defense and other areas that they would try to cut from. i think the biggest question that is a lot of hill reporters have is even if the president and kevin mccarthy docome to a deal, can he get the republican conference to get behind? we see how divided they are. so i think gig questions about that. we ll see if president biden talks about police reform while he s here on capitol hill. the conversation that s have been a focus since what we saw in memphis with tyre nichols. i think those a
