There are a lot of words you might expect a president to say over and over in the state of the yeun job address. Words like jobs, freedom, or if it is a joe biden speech, folks. The president last night chose a different word to be the theme of his remarks. He chose the word predecessor. A former republican president tells putin, do whatever the hell you want. My predecessor came off as they overturned. Hes the reason why they were overturned and he brags about it. My predecessor failed the most president ial duty that he owes to the american people. The duty to care. I think that is unforgivable. They told the nra that hes proud he did nothing when he was president. Many in this chamber want to take those Prescription Drugs away by repealing Affordable Care act. Im not going to let that happen. And we stopped you 50 times before and we will stop you again. Biden did not utter Donald Trumps name once during that speech. But he referred to his predecessor more than a dozen times. That w
morning. we have major announcements, joe biden will hold a phone call with the president of china. the state department offers a deal to russia to get brittney griner and paul whelan release from jail in moscow. at what price? we have the host of way too early and the bureau chief of politico, and the author of the big lie. we have u.s. special correspondent for bbc news, and the former chairman of the republican national committee. good morning to you all. let s dive in after a year and a half of on and off negotiations. joe manchin has reached a deal with party leaders to pass a number of democratic agenda items through the reconciliation process. in a statement, he wrote in part, this bill will cut the inflation taxes that americans are paying. it will lower prescription drugs and health insurance. it will ensure that we invest in energy security and climate change innovations. he went on, it is time to put away the partisan swords and advance legislation that is in the b
As an example that the idf bomb deliberately, a hospital and killed 700 people. The longer that goes on, the more israel will be in peril for for their future, so, again, we should expect nothing else from hamas. Its a terrorist organization. Its dedicated to the destruction of israel and theyre going about it in a strategic matter. Does history tell us whether they care if Congress Approves aid to israel and that america stands behind, you know the movements that have been made by the u. S. Military that is in the region, that they stand behind israel . I think theres no question that were going to provide aid to israel. Massive financial resources. Were backing them up with a significant deterrent military forces. None of this will be contingent upon whether netanyahu does or does not conduct a land operation. Thats clearly got to be an israeli decision based on their own fundamental security assessment. General, its always good to have you on the program, we thank you, general Barry
Going through and he is doing everything in his power to bring prices down. so with all that said, are you surprised to see a number like that, that three-quarters of democrats don t want the president to run again. reporter: look. i think polls go up and down. and at a time, when you see inflation, you would see some of that manifested in the polls. but again, what i would say is joe biden won the presidency with 81 million votes in 2020. he is making good on the things he promised to do. again, we saw enormous progress last night, in this breakthrough, in terms of the inflation reduction act. and he s committed to doing the things he said he would do when he ran. and i think that s what the american people are looking for. and he s continuing to do that every day. white house reporter kate bedingfield. thank you. we will be joined by democratic nominee for governor for maryland and rising star. wes moore, fresh off his primary victory, now looking
Their children, then that s a conversation that s going to bring them back home to the democrats. if we re talking about these narrow issues, if we if that void is created, the democrats don t succeed, they create space for the conversation we saw this virginia. but we saw progress last night. i think you re going to see those two bills pass and the conversation be very different a year from now molly: kelsey, on that defund police issue, laura s arguing there s other things the democrats are going to want to focus on. your thoughts what it meant for the democrats from this last election, moving forward. defund police has been a massive movement that the left has championed. and it s this whole time they ve been living out an alternative the reality. we though that this is not a popular policy among voter, specifically voters who it threatens to have the most impact on living in inthey are cities. they want more police, not less. i think it s yet another example
