we were told this over and over again some more and going into the mid-term election we ll hear the same thing amplified even louder by a lot of the media outlets that are doing the bidding of the biden administration. i don t know how anyone can look at the last year and say it was a successful first year for the biden administration. it has nothing to do with politics or that i m a republican. you have to look objectively and a reasonable person is going to say things are not headed in the right direction, which is why we re having a conversation about what seems to be an inevitable red wave. it also seems to be if we talk political optics there is this terrible reality which is that hundreds of thousands of americans have died. even if you really think it was a great year for the biden administration you probably shouldn t be saying it. 100%. let s judge this year by the
i think that they support president trump on this out loud when privately they say it s ridiculous. we should be nervous about our democracy. i don t think everything that kamala harris said is correct but i think that is correct. mercedes, what say you, are republicans quivering and quaking as jim points out? no, i think republicans are feeling bold as we go into 2022 because of the failed policies by the biden administration. and kamala harris trying to salvage her reputation. i ve talked to friends who are democrats and they ve told me that she is really failed as a vice president. she has been unable to complete her task of gaining control of this border which i think is very reflective of all of what
reality here. great to talk to you. reports of dysfunction in her office and senior staff quitting vice president kamala harris is speeng out and insists the biden administration is not setting her up to fail at the nation s number two job. her critics remain undeterred, though. they are doubling down on everything from her approval rating to where she travels. plus now there is this. i don t know why they would want to continue it. maybe they will find a way to vote on it yet and further lead to their political demise while destroying the country. republicans are thumbing their noses at democrats desperate to revive the build back better bill after joe manchin torpedoed it. progressives are asking biden to step in and save the plan with executive action. we have a congresswoman talking about that next. and i m still .
joe manchin s policy proposal and they are 100% behind him or more about retaking the senate next year? more of a raw political calculation? i think it s both. one they feel he is currently more politically aligned with republicans than the progressive democrats running the administration. two, because they see that they can gain a majority. i strongly feel we are going to gain a majority in 2022 both in the house and in the senate and senator manchin is in a position of tremendous power in his party. i also don t think he speaks only for himself. i think that he is the front person for other democrat senators that are also against this build back better bill. let s not forget the pandemic you talked about in your last segment where we have a president who will push out 500 million rapid antigen tests to give out free, which i heard you talk about the cost. but there is a reuters article
assume, gov. it is, mr. president. president biden: and here today democrats and republicans. we discussed the rise in covid cases especially coming out of the holidays. and as i said last week omicron is a source of concern but it should not be a source of panic. if you are fully vaccinated and get your booster shot you are highly protected. if you are unvaccinated you are at a high risk of getting severely ill from covid-19, being hospitalized and in rare cases even dying. this is not like march of 2020 the beginning of the pandemic. we are prepared and know what it takes to save lives, protect people and keep schools and businesses open. we just have to stay focused and continue to work together. my message to the governors is simple. if you need something, say something. and we will have your back in any way we can. last week we took steps to
