And pomp and circumstance, biden even comfortable enough to wear his aviators with the queen. This is the final stop before his meeting with russiaS President. As i told him as i was running, when i was elected before i was sworn in that i was going to find out whether or not he did engage in trying to interfere in our election, that i was going the Look'>Take A Look at whether he was involved in the cyber Security Breach that occurred, Et Cetera. And if i did, i was going to respond. I did. I checked it out. So i had access to all the intelligence. He was engaged in all of these activities. I did respond, and i made it clear that i would respond again. I want to get to Kaitlan Collins who is live in brussels for us. It Looks like Joe Biden is going to some length to not jab his finger in the chest of vladimir Putin But Sort of palmly put him on notice where hiS Positions are at thiS Point . Yeah, its line he has had to balance over the last kefrl weeks as there have been questions about what exactly the White House thinks this summit is going to Look like. Jim, as we reported there are divisions internally whether this sitdown should even happen. I think the question ultimately was what are we really going to get out of this . They have decided it is better to have Face To Face Diplomacy and conversations with Vladimir Putin describe what he thinks the u. S. Russia Relationship is going to Look like. One thing they agree on is that relations are at an alltime low. That was Something Putin said. Biden agreed. The question as to what actually happens when they sit down in geneva remains to be seen. They are planning for a small session. Potentially a bigger session with staff. In contrast with President Trump, who would meet with putin One On one. The other thing, there wont be a joint conference after the two of them meet. The Secretary Of State said this has to do with getting answers to a free press about what that meeting Looks like. But this is what Joe Biden did when he was asked a question about why there wouldnt be a joint Press Conference. This is not a contest about who can do better in a Press Conference or embarrass one another. It is about making myself very clear what the conditions are to make a relationship better with russia. I dont want to get into being diverted by did they shake hands, who talked the most and the rest. Now, you can see what i says the meeting was about. And i will say what i think the meeting was about. Thats how i am going to handle it. Obviously, jim, they are hoping for a good outcome, to have a Working Relationship with russia. But they said earlier there is no guarantee you can change a Persons Behavior or get them to change their Countrys Behavior either. Caitlyn collins, Looks like a nice night in brussels. Joining me now, John Avlon and margaret hoover. John, Sizing Up Putin has always been an important test for a commander in chief. Lets take a listen. I Looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul, a man deeply committed to his country. What is true is that the russians intended to meddle, and they meddled. Vladimir putin is not on our team. I like putin, he likes me. We get along. Wouldnt you say its smart to get along . Okay . Smart. Biden has already made it clear his relationship with Vladimir Putin is going to be very different. The cover of time magazine Giving A Nod to the big meeting by showing biden with putin reflected in his Signature Aviator sunglasses. Biden seems to be talking about the decision not to hold a join Press Conference as he wants to avoid a contest of who is more macho. That is the key. That is the key question. I think bidens desire not to degenerate into that kind of Quien Es Mas Macho Is it gives a clear message to Vladimir Putin. The days of having a sycophant in the White House is rover but they can still have a relationship. It was made clear, this is not a relationship based on trust. Russia is a ambassador actor. Putt seine a killer, as Joe Biden has said. By putting the focus on the talks, diplomacy, Balance Of Power and recognizing we will punch back appropriately if they attack us in any way, Shape Or Form is appropriate. I think it is mart to take the pressure off the optics and more on the substance, less on the style. Former President Trump had something to say during bidens meeting with putin saying dont fall asleep during the meeting, sending my warmest regards. Trump sending putin his regards. He cant quit him. Not only that, he cant stand the fact hes not in the spotLight. The News Circle continues on without him. And he wants to be part of it. Well move on. I would note that jodi decided not to confer the favorability of the united states onto russia. And the fact that they have been a bad actor, a very bad actor, from the election, prior to the election skmrks since the election. By standing Side By side with authoritarians and dictators and the Thug Leaders around the world as President Trump did, with President Duterte of the philippines w pultin, with many, many other strong men, you are conferring kim brunhuber, conferring legitimacy and Respect Lkt of the united states on those powers. Putin has not earned that from President Biden. Not even a little. Not even a little. Right . I welcome that, and i welcome the 150 Million Arms Sale to ukraine that the biden administration, the Department Of Defense has announced. That to me is a good start. John, during his Press Conference Today Biden took a clear swipe at former President Biden. Lets listen. America is back at the table. The lack of participation in the past, and full engagement was noticed significantly, not only by the leaders of those countries, but by the people in the g7 countries. And america is back in the business of leading the world alongside nations who share our most deeply held values. Biden seems to think this contrast with trump iS Paying dividends. It has been clear this entire trip. John . Yeah. Thats because it is. I mean, you can hear it from all of the leaders of the g7. To simply have an american president who is not going to put himself first, who is not going to elbow his way to the front of Photo Ops and basically lobby for vladimir Putins Inclusion in the g7 is a breath of fresh air. Its about trust. Not only between individual leaders but about the united states being a trustworthy ally. That was compromised in the past. I dont think there is any worry that by drawing this contrast he is somehow denigrating trump any more than trump denigrated himself and the united states. It is an important contrast, an important contrast. Do we want to be an engaged leader in the world and international organizations or do you want to undermine it constantly . I will go with plan a on that one. Margaret, lets switch subjects just a bit. Republican senator Ron Johnson has been suspended from youtube for Posting Covid Disinformation specifically for encouraging people to use hydroxychloroquine. They are still talking about that in some circles. When the Social Media Companies crack down on this type of disinformation do you think it helps or hurts republican supporters they are Looking for. To be pulled off of youtube, thats not good. It is not good. It is seven days. Then he will be back on. The point is you Cant Spread Disinformation that could hurt people. That whats wro Ron Johnson was doing. I have got to tell you, i dont think that helps republicans. It becomes a national news story. The people republicans need to win back the senate and political power are people who think thats naughty behavior. Suburban women, millennials, people who have been disenfranchised. People who have no medical training are hoking Conspiracy Theories all over the place . Thats not the way to win back the snort, folks. Yeah, its weird. John, this is a disturbing thing. It has been seven months since trump lost the election but a righters report found that election officials are still seving threats n. Georgia the wife of secretary of State Raffensperger has received Text Messages like this, you and your family will be killed very slowly. A week before that, we plan for the death of you and your family every day. She also got this one, a Family Member was going to have a very unfortunate incident. This is just totally out of control. It is. I am glad you mentioned that reuters story. For republican who thinks you can sweep this under the rug or turn the page, thats not happening. Until it is confronted and condemned and clearly auld out, there will be more it. This, Death Threats not only to those individuals but to democracy itself. It is metastasizing until it can be condemned and not accommodate it, it will continue. Thats the path we are on as a republic right now. It couldnt be more serious. Death threats that reflect threats to our democracy itself. Margaret, it is a continuation of the violent behavior that we have seen since january th really before January 6th. One would think January 6th would at least slow it down a little bit and the reaction to it would slow it down, but its just not stopping. Its not stopping. I was very grateful to Trisha Raffensperger for coming forward and sharing the story, the fact they had to leave their home for their own safety that the Death Threats were so serious she decided to stop seeing her grandchildren ages 3 and 5, after a point when it was suddenly safe after a year not being with them because of coronavirus not being able to see them because 6 their own 15e69, because their lives were being threatened. This is creating instability and a lack of trust at the foundations of our democracy. Jim, what i think January 6th revealed to us all is just how deep the rot is and how much we have to push back. John says it is republicans. But it is republicans who are also being victimized here, right. Right. Rachbsberger is a republican. It is the Trump Wing of the party that must be changed. We in the priss we receive this kind of stuff, too. When people are doing this, these are your fellow americans. Raffen raffensperger, dr. Anthony fauci, members of the press, your fellow americans. We just cant have this sort of thing happening in this country. I am glad reuters decided to shine a Light on it. Thank you so much. Great to see you both.

Breaking news this season evening, and Celebrations Tonight on the streets in israel. Music. Crowds of israelis hearing the news that Benjamin Netanyahu is among lower their Prime Minister after a record 12 executive years in office. Netanyahu lost a Confidence Vote in Israelis Parliament Today resulting in a new Coalition Government and Prime Minister. Never dali bennett, a former close ally of netanyahu who managed to form a coalition of smaller parties and push israels longest serving Prime Minister out. President biden has already called to congratulate bennett, joining me now, george bern balm, who also served as Chief Of Staff to Benjamin Netanyahu. I had John Bolton on earlier and he said that netanyahu is out but not necessarily down, that netanyahu is not going quietly. Something that our u. S. Audience knows all too well when it comes to leaders leaving power. Do you believe this is the end for Benjamin Netanyahu. No. Hes judging from the speech he gave today as Opposition Leader after 12 years aS Prime minister hes not going to go quietly into the good night. I dont think it is so much the situation as the united states. It is a parliamentary situation in israel. Not unyeesh for the former leader to go into the Opposition LeaderS Position. He made it clear, Et Cetera going to work to be a loud and strong opposition to this coalition. What is going to hold this new government together other than a disdain for Benjamin Netanyahu . I think theres a common goal to move beyond the years of netanyahu to focus internally on some of the problems facing israel, whether economic, social, religious strives between the secular and the ultraorthodox there, i think he has a real desire, netanyahu has gone a good job in terms the abraham accords, bringing peace, making Israel Hightech Capital of the world. It is i am to Look internally and i think thats what this coalition is going to focus on. How long do you think this government is going to last . Could Netanyahu Copoengsly come back and become Prime Minister within six months to a year . I think it is too early to tell. We will know better when this coalition gets tested by contention issues when they arise. Bennett has shown a lot of political acumen and take six knesset seats. You have coalition, a rightist, a leftist, a centrist, and an Abe Arab representative. This will be a good example of how a diverse coalition can work together towards a common goal. The u. S. And others renewed calls for a Twostate Solution after the latest rounds of fighting in gaza. You are openly opposed to a state of palestine. What is your plan for the 2 Million palestinians in the West Bank and 2 mill more in gaza . Well, thats yet to be seen. In other words, thats an issue thats going to be crossed between the israelis, the palestinians, the americans, the europes, all those that have a hand in this. I believe that the first step is having the israeli arabs in the coalition. That allows to get people to the table across from one another talking to Each Other who have differences. That could be the first phase in understanding the problems, the situation, we will see where that leads. I dont see a lot of pressure on a Twostate Solution. I think the focus is going to be internationally, unemployment, cost of living, those types of things. When the two State Solution comes up that will be have to be addressed with those in the coalition opposed to it and those that are in favor of it. George bern balm, thank you for joining us. An incredible night there. It is hard to imagine an israel without a Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But we are all Looking forward to see what happens next.

Americas staggering Gun Violence Epidemic shows no signs of slowing down. This weekend, Mass Shootings killed eight people and injured nearly 50 others. Natasha chen joins me now. The statistics keep getting worse and worse. Yeah, jim, this was something i was discussing yesterday with the people marking the fifth anniversary of the Pulse Shooting here in orlando, where 49 people were killed. Their stories are remembered on that wall behind us. And what we were discussing is that maybe these recent shootings may not have killed 49 people at once but they are happening so frequently and it doesnt seem to be getting better. Police chiefs across the country also talking about how hard it is to get the suspects because it seemS People are not sharing enough information with them. The number of people killed by guns in america continued to rise this weekend as did the scourge of Mass Shootings. At least eight of them this weekend across the u. S. Im broken right now because i am trying to figure out what do we do . My conversation is for my Police Chief and city manager, how do we fix this . Right now i need answers and i have to answer to all of these residents who what we have told we are going to protect you. Reporter in savanna, georgia a shooting Friday Night killed one and injured at least eight others including a 2yearold and 13yearold. They are hesitant about providing information this time even though one of the shooting victim is an 18 machine monthold. Reporter there have also been Mass Shootings this yooekd in cincinnati, cleveland, austin, chicago, dallas, salts, and winstonsalem north carolina. In 2021 there have been 270 Mass Shootings according to Gun Violence archives. Thats about 40 higher than at thiS Point in june 2020, and about 65 higher than this time in 2019. Local leaders say thiS Problem relates to Regional Gun Policies but there has to be a more comprehensive solution. In georgia we cant be mad that guns are everywhere when law allows them to be everywhere. We need to are lz that guns are inanimate objects. What we need are stronger Gun Laws and we also need to teach our young people better decision making. Reporter the inability to solve problems without violence is what drives the one Pulse Foundation formed five years ago. The pulse owner, now ceo of one Pulse Foundation talked about waking up on the fifth anniversary of the tragedy only to hear news of more Mass Shootings overnight. There is a Gun Violence problem. There is a hate problem. I dont know where it turned from being bullied at school to going home and cry asking finding a way to resolve that and then picking up your parents home and going back to or to your place of work. When did that become the societal solution . Reporter she talked about her goal. She sayS People should work on bridging their differences, working toward the gray instead of fighting with Each Other like everything is in black and white terms. She raises some very important questions. Natasha chen, thank you so much joining me now, congressman from te texas. We have a staggering statistic, since the start of this year there have been at least 271 mass sootings in the united states. As you know, Gun Control Legislation is stalled in congress. What is it going to take to end this endless cycle of Gun Violence . Well, its going to take congress listening to the american people, first of all. There is not much of a dispute among the american people how we should handle this gun issue. Over 90 of americans agree that we should do universal Background Checks but Mitch Mcconnell and the republican Majority Arent Lining to even a majority of their constituents and they are holding up the bill. First congress needs to take action. It would be helpful if governors like Greg Abbott would follow through with their promises. After a Mass Shooting there, he told the people of texas he would make it harder for people to get and recklessly use guns. But the legislature actually made it easier for people to get guns rather than harder. There are a lot of things that need to be done at the federal and in the state level. In your state of texas where they just had a Mass Shooting it seems in austin over the weekend the legislature just passed a bill allowing texans to carry handguns without a license or training. How worried are you about that . Incredibly worried, as are many other texans. What it tells the people is that guns should be more freely out there, that they are an acceptable way to handle conflict. Because over the last 25 years in texas, we have gone from concealed carry to open carry. Now to permitless carry, where basically anybody can carry a gun and they cant be asked about it by law enforcement. Even though you are not coming out and saying it what you are projecting is this idea is that guns are more and more a way to handle conflict. Thats where you get more dangerous situations and where you get people who are more likely to use a gun to try to resolve conflict. I want to pivot to other news this afternoon. Striking stuff. We have learned that under President Trump the Department Of Justice didnt just subpoena apple for data on house lawmakers like your colleagues Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell but also went after trumps white House Counsel Don Mcgahn and his wife. It was around the time when trump was unhappy with mcmahon, he was covering up his requests to fire bob mueller. Where does it go from here . You know, jim, as brazen as Donald Trump was in his administration, as brazen as they were in public, in terms of their publicfacing policy, you think about the muslim Travel Ban for example. I can only imagine how brazen they were behind closed doors when people didnt actually know at least in the moment what they were doing. And there are some scandals that they start off seeming very broad but they narrow in scope. Its clear this one is growing in scope. As bad as it was to hear a few days ago about members of congress on Intelligence Committee that i sit on being targeted now you are talking about a president targeting an attorney at the White House, his own people. So hes targeting not people who he considerS Political opponents and enemies but even targeting the people that are working for him. It has got to be thoroughly investigated. I know there is a bit of a debate whether congress should wait for the inspector generals report. I actually think we ought to take action right away and treat with it the seriousness and the violation of Rule Of Law that it constitutes. Your records werent sought, were they, congressman . No, not as far as i know. You know, as other folks mentioned, other of my colleagues from the committee mentioned we were all going through your Email Folders and our trash and our Spam Folders and so forth to try to figure out if we got a notice from apple. I am working with the committee to get final confirmations that my records were not or my phone was not searched or whatever it was. But as far as i know, my phone was not. I am sure all of the members of the committee and their staffs are all going through this right now. I want to move to immigration and a comment made by stormer President Trumps daughterinlaw, Lara Trump as she was railing against bidens border response. Lets listen and then i want to get your comment. I dont know what you tell the people at the southern border, they better arm up and get guns and be ready and maybe they should start taking matters into their own hands. What do you think of that, she is calling for americans living on the southern border to arm up. Your reaction to that. Thats the dangerous rhetoric that getS People targeted and killed. Thats the rhetoric that led to a Guy Driving ten hours from dallas, texas, Toel Paso to murder people because he considered them hispanic invaders to texas. The trump campaign, which she waS Part of back then purchased 2,000 facebook ads basically with that messaging, that they were invaders to texas and need to be dealt with. I think shes running for office. You see them essentially putting the same message out there as though they have learned nothing. I doubt she has even been to the border, it costs her nothing to spew that racist and ugly rhetoric but it is actually putting a target on peoples backs. Nancy pelosi shes not giving up into an investigation on the January 6th attack on the capitol. Ultimately, what would you like the see in terms of Holding Trump accountable for his role inciting the mob . Is it time to move forward with a House Select Committee to investigate what happened on January 6th . I think the speaker has been wise to press the senate to see if they can finally vote to create the commission because we didnt want it to be independent of the congress if of the all possible. But if that becomes impossible because it is clear that the republicans are basically not only burying their heads in the sand but are determined to deny reality and determined to protect Donald Trump at all costs because he owns the republican party. Then we should absolutely create either a select committee whose members she would appoint or the Oversight Committee In The House of representatives and the counterpart in the senate they should do a full investigation on the January 6th incident, insurrection, basically what i have been calling and what i think was a kind of an attempted coup. Thank you for joining us. Good to see you again, sir. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. We appreciate it.

At first glance, they seem like a political odd couple, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. But it turns Out Sanders has become one of bidens strongest advocates in the senate and the two men have formed a solid bond. Reporter lets just say that during the president ial campaign, progressives were skeptical about Joe Bidens big tint. Progressives, moderates, conserve tiffs. Reporter but now, Guess Who is firmly inside it . As somebody who wrote a book called outsider In The House, it is a strange experience to be having the kinds of influence we have now. Reporter strange, especially for two men with decades of hardheld, long standing disagreements. I believe in medicare for all. He is who conservative than i am, obviously. But on the other hand, he is not only a smart guy. He is a good politician who has a sense of where people are at and what iS Possible. I think he understands that at thiS Particular moment in american history, you have got to go big, not small. Reporter and five months into hiS Presidency, biden has gone big, very big. Historical, call it transforming aal. Reporter that was a 1. 9 trillion covid relief package, followed by an Infrastructure Plan and voting rightS Package. Sanders iS Primed and ready to go. Progressive are growing more and more impatient with moderates in their own party. Not to mention with republicans who have been flirting with biden on infrastructure. And sanders is in a rush. Do you have infinite patience time wise. No, i do not. Reporter thats a no . I have limited patience. Republicans will talk and talk, we want to work with u bipartisan, month after month after Month Nothing happens. Reporter it is a message that stuck with biden, too, so a Love Story was born. A marriage of queens, the onetime centrist and the longtime progressive. 20 years ago is this the Joe Biden you would have expected . No, i think the Biden Of Today is not what i or others would have expected. Reporter until a new reality intruded. Covid exacerbated all of the existing problems in terms of the struggles of working families. Reporter then came January 6th. What trump is about is his actual threat to american democracy. What biden sees out there is if we do not move aggressively and make it clear to people that government can work for them then we stand a real chance of losing democracy in this country. Reporter theres a shared history, too, both Men Haver Working Class roots, and both wanted to be president. And when vice President Biden decided not to run in 2016 as the Party Establishment lined up behind Hillary Clinton he reached out to sanders for a private chat or two, a Courtesy Season has not forgotten. He was giving me his advice, political advice, and they were, i think for me very useful conversations and friendly conversations. I certainly belief that senator sanders left that Meeting Feeling that Joe Biden was giving him a, hey, go make your case, beby, because there is a lot of people that need to hear it. Reporter in 2020, they were campaign rivals. Then as sanders was getting ready to withdraw from the race he had an idea on the Plane Ride back to vermont. He says, hey, do you know some friends over there in the biden Connect The World . Ask them if they want to invite progressive policies and personnel into their campaign. Just see what they say. Reporter they said yes. Bernie is an important voice within the democratic party. And we respect that voice. And we need that advice sometimes. Reporter can you talk to me about how welcome they made you feel. Very welcome. It was a little different than from Hillary Clinton in 2016. Yes, yes, it is. You werent welcomed . I was tolerated. My support was they wanted my support, obviously. Reporter but now the onetime outsider is mr. Chairman. Hosting Dinner Parties . Not exactly a fancy dinner party. We did it outside with our progressive friends In The House. We had a very nice time, yeah. Reporter he worked to corral progressives for the american Rescue Plan even after the minimum Wage Hike was taken out. Was It Everything we wanted . No. Was it a major step forward for the Working Class in this country . You bet it was. Reporter but can he and will he search for common grounds with moderates in a 50 50 senate. You have to deal with moderates like Joe Manchin and Kiersten Cinema and get them on board. I heard about that. In honesty, Chuck Schumer does more of that talking than i do. Reporter in vermont, bernie is the local antiestablishment hero. But these days hes really part of the Ruling Class in d. C. , even when he disagrees with the man in charge. He koss things sometimes that i think are really not a good idea. But i understand why he does it. Because hes made promises to people, and he wants to keep hiS Promises. Reporter and hes always kept hiS Promises to you . I think, yes. Joe biden understands, i think his heart and gets what hes fighting for and in that way has Build A real respective relationship. Reporter which these days is hard to come by. One of the things that struck me about Joe Biden is a very strong sense of loyalty, which i like and respect. We are going to have our differences. But i ultimately trust you, and you are going to trust me. We are not going to trouble cross Each Other. There will be bad times, but we are going to get through this together.
