Be in this position of having to explain for the last four years. This is part of what he said david gregory about republicans and pushing, as he put it phony populism. It is a shock and surprise that what s happened in terms of consequence of president trump s phony populism has happened. And it is disappointing that so many of my republican colleagues in the senate who i know know better have been reluctant to take on, for example, an investigation because they re worried about being primaried. I think it s really interesting there. It s unusual for a president to speak in such frank terms about a predecessor and predecessor s political movement, but certainly this isn t usual this turning of the page from trump to biden. Well, one of the reasons i think he s addressing it he understands his colleagues on the world stage are paying attention to all of this, too. You know this whole idea of well america is back but for how long. Anybody can look at what s happening in washington and l
washington, president biden just convened a meeting with his top immigration advisers and announced vice president kamala harris will lead the administration s efforts, to lead those efforts with mexico and central american chris to try to stem the flow of migrants coming into the u.s. i think the best thing to do is put someone who, when she or he speaks, they don t have to wonder about is that what the president thinks? when she speaks, she speaks for me. moving a series of bills to the floor only to be blocked by democrats. we are covering this situation from coast to coast with our team of nbc news reporters. joining us now, nbc news correspondent garrett haake on capitol hill. nbc news dasha burns is in texas outside a customs and border facility housing unaccompanied children and digital white house reporter shannon pettypiece. also jacob soboroff. talk to us about the delegation in terms of what the white house is hoping to achieve with this, what is the delegation
we start here in the uk, where another two energy suppliers have gone out of business the latest victims of the crisis caused by a huge increase in the cost of gas. the firms are green supplier and avro energy, with 800,000 customers between them. all affected customers will continue to receive energy while a new supplier is appointed by the regulator ofgem. it warns more firms are set to close, potentially affecting millions of customers. bulb, the uk s sixth largest energy company with 1.7 million customers, is already looking at its financial options. our business correspondent colletta smith has the latest. two more energy firms have collapsed. as avro and green call in the administrators, that clocks up a total of six energy companies folding within the last fortnight. the industry called for help, but the government says they won t bail out suppliers in trouble. in the first instance, the industry has to look to itself and, as you said at the beginning of your questio
projected. laura: by any objective measure, america across the board is facing the most severe challenges in our nations history. in china, we have a dangerous geopolitical threat. there is a war raging in eastern europe. the dow dropped 1,063 points today. inflation is outpacing wages. our industrial base is crippled. and of course, we are 30th $30 trillion in debt. this is the time when america needs leaders to attack all the major issues one by one and a practical and sophisticated way. unfortunately, with biden, we have a fundamentally frivolous and unfundamental group of people. let alone having the type of executive leadership and judgment that we all need and deserve. now, nobody even things at this point biden does anything anymore. essentially, he is staff escorts him in and out of events and they hope they avoid grabbing at the air when he supposed to walk off the stage. he s team should have surrounded him with a cabinet of experts. who could do the parts of the
misinformation. you know because the real problems we face apparently are our opinions, not our incompetent actions. it s like blaming fires on the fire department. they always seem to be around right after i start one.
