Speaker emerita and democratic congresswoman from california, nancy pelosi. Speaker pelosi, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. So i have to say this was this may have been the highest stakes speech of President Bidens long career in politics. It may have been the highest stakes state of the Union Address that ive ever seen. I think he met the moment. Oh, i think he did definitely. Actually, i should quote him and just say, maybe i should go home right now because i think what he did was spectacular. He did it with vigor. He did it with vision, with patriotism. And i think it was one of the finest state of the Union Addresses i have seen. And ive seen many. So obviously a lot of republicans are critical of it. One of the things that theyre criticizing it for is for being political. And it was a very political state of the Union Address. Well, it had some political aspects to it, mostly generated by the audience saying four more years, but the perhaps amnesia has set in
Disaster. Bizarre. Thats how some republicans are describing senator katy barretts response to bidens State Of The Union. Lets go outfront. Good evening. Im erica hill in for erin burnett. Outfront tonight, breaking news. Biden turning up the heat on trump, riding the momentum from his state of the Union Address just moments ago, wrapping up a visit to the key battleground state of pennsylvania, making it clear he is not afraid to take on trump. Donald trump and the maga republicans are trying to take away our freedoms. Donald trump he came to office determined to overturn roe v wade, but donald trump has announced he wants to repeal the Affordable Care act. Donald trump enacted a 2 trillion tax cut when he was president , overwhelmingly benefiting the very wealthy. The president fired up tonight, pointing out the stark differences he sees between the two differences that are on full display at this hour. Actually, Biden Campaigning there as trump spent time today with hungarys far rig
Actions. Mr. President , enough is enough. Innocent americans are dying and you only have yourself to blame. Fulfill your oath of office. Reverse your policies, end this crisis, and stop up the suffering. Sadly we know that President Bidens failures dont stop there. His reckless spending. Doug our economy into a hole and sent The Cost Of Living through the roof. We have the worst inflation in 40 years and the highest Credit Card Debt in our nations history. Let that sink in. HardWorking Families are struggling to make ends meet today, and with soaring Mortgage Rates and sky high child care cost, theyre also struggling to how to plan for tomorrow. The American People are scraping by. Well, President Biden proudly proclaims that bidenomics is working. Goodness, youll bless his heart. We know better. Ill never forget stopping at a gas station in Chilton County one evening. The gentleman working the counter told me that after retiring, he had to pick up a job in his 70s so that he didnt ha
At the white house, right now, President Joe Biden preparing to Face Congress and the American People and deliver a speech that could have huge consequences for his reelection campaign. Theyll soon leave for the us capitol to give his state of the Union Address. Less than 48 hours after his long anticipated rematch with donald trump became a reality. Welcome to a Special Edition of ac360. Im Anderson Cooper and im jake tapper. About an hour from now, President Biden will walk into the House Chamber under enormous pressure to forcefully and successfully sell his vision for america and his argument for a second terme. Mister President Biden needs to take advantage of this opportunity with tens of millions of americans watching to make his case and perhaps, perhaps the most important speech of his decades long career in public life, this will be a critical test of the 81 year old commander in chief. He will try to convince skeptical voters that they have benefited from his presidency, and
also live in a world where former president trump asserts that there was a politicized process that resulted in his prosecution related to classified documents and other things. so, for the public, if democrats and this administration say trust the department of justice, trust the institutions, but you are also arguing here gratuitous political cheap shots and false assertions. how are they to process that. i talked about this a minute ago, and when you have the former attorney general, when you have the former acting fbi director, when you have the former general counsel of the fbi, you know, these are experienced people at the justice department who spent decades working at the justice department and they are saying it s gratuitous, they are saying this is inappropriate, this is inconsistent with doj policy and practice, it s them saying. we agree, you know, you heard the president speak about this last night, and the vice president speak forcefully about this today, we a
