That siphons off our Strength And Guard against those and division for political gain is Phony Populism. Biden would return to the phrase, Phony Populism while delivering a blunt reply to reporters questions about allies and the hole the former president still has on his party. It is a Shock And Surprise that whats happened in terms of consequence of President Trumps Phony Populism has happened. And it is disappointing and 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 theyre worried about being primaried. The president also gave his assessment of what he sees as the current political Calculus And Vastry diminish in Numbers End Quote and that Party Leadership is frank toured. While the president spends much of his days without allies, his mornings are spent in preparation for his meeting wednesday in switzerland with russias vladimir putin. Just another of the many differences between how this President And Predecessor handled their duties in office. Also different, the importance that President Biden placed on the survival of Human Rights in other countries. In this case russian distant Alexi Navalny. Navalnys death would be another indication that russia has little or no intention of abiding by basic fundamental Human Rights. It would be a tragedy. It would do nothing but hurt his relationships with the rest of the world in my view and with me. While the words the president used may be striking commentary, it is imagery from the meeting that may send the greater message embracing allies strengthening old bonds, talking out the importance and history of the nay to alliance and a sce with the previous president who shoved past the Prime Minister of a small You Areuropean count sending an unmistakable message to allies and adversaries alike. Im joined by clarissa ward. Its hard to over state how different all of this seems. I mean, the united states, President Biden warning about Phony Populism as he calls it the kcriticism of vladimir puti. I wonder what the reaction is among u. S. Allies. Reporter the reaction is exceptionally positive from those 29 other Nato Member states. The spanish Prime Minister calling Joe Bidens election an inspiration saying that hes starting to deliver on some of what he promised. The Secretary General of nato saying in a very sort of typical skanl way was frequently denigrating Nato And President biden making it very clear today that the u. S. s commitment to the Northern Atlantic Treaty was in his words unshakable, Rock Solid and the mutual Defense Treaty Article five as well is a sacred obligation so a lot of people very pleased to hear that, anderson. Also, talk more if you can about what President Biden revealed and didnt reveal Tonight about how he is approaching this summit with putin. Reporter so, he said that he doesnt want to telegraph to the world media exactly what his strategy is in terms of negotiating with President Putin but he did also seem to be sort of laying down the gauntlet or making it clear certain key issues he would be raising that he already knows are going to Ruffle Feathers and particularly, of course, im talking about Alexi Navalny you mentioned and the russian Opposition Leader poised with novichok back in august sentenced to two and a half years in a russian penal Colony And Putin said he didnt have anyway of guaranteeing whether navalny lives or dies while hes in custody you heard there President Bidens response to that vowing to really hold feet to the fire and make it clear to President Putin that if he wants to be part of the international community, he needs to abide by international norms. Is there an indication that putin cares what u. S. Thinks when it comes to navalny or Cyber Hacks or Ransomware Or Anything really . I dont think there is an indication he cares what the u. S. Thinks but he is very strategic and very shrewd, President Putin and hes certainly, i believe, does not want to see this relationship deteriorate further. It been very costly for russia particularly this last raft of sanctions so i do think that Thats Part of why both leaders are having this summit that they do believe there are certain avenues limited and narrow they might be in scope where potentially the two countries would work together and collaborate on these issues to hopefully prevent a further dead gages of the relationship. I dont think anyone is expecting anything hugely positive to come out of it but the hope is it will avert a crisis. Clarissa ward, appreciate it. Thank you. Perspective on the president s first trip abroad from fareed zakaria. If he vanquishes the im Prin Id Nato stage, was he successful . I think on that very successful. He came to the summit with two things that were extraordinary. One, americans reputation as a Super Power was restored. Dont under estimate the degree people are impressed by the vaccine drive. The united states has gone from being the lagger in the world on vaccines with over 65 of the country vaccinated. Were really first into the post pandemic world. That has been an impressive display of americas government. The second was 500 Billion vaccines donated to the world. That was an expression of american generosity. So that whole, you know, if you put those two together, its such a different atmosphere from Donald Trump who came to nato, complained about the cost of the new Nato Head quarters and complained about the fact other people werent paying enough and threatened he might get out of nato and those broad terms, anderson, its night and day. I wonder what you made of his return to the Phase Foe K Phony Populism. Hes been careful not to say very much about the domestic side of this. But i think you can tell hes getting frustrated by the fact that none of those republican senators who rhe knows so well have been willing to break with trump and i think it affects the negotiations going on over infrastructure. It affects everything else, and its a reminder that, you know, while Joe Biden is president , hes trying to be a kind of bipartisan figure in someways, the country is still very polarized and the republican party is still a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump. What is an obtainable goal for this president when he sits down with vladimir putin . I mean how much what is the Bargaining Power . Well, lets be clear what the goal is because this is i think important. Nato is an alliance between the united states and major european countries. You have had in europe the annexation by one country to another of crimea and a sense De Facto annex of ukraine. This is the first time youve had that since World War ii. The last state that did that was notzi germany. I understand he said he wants to try to make nice with putin in some sense, have a constructive relationship all to the good but the simple focus of nato has to be that russia must continue to pay a price for this. There must be support for Ukraine And Poland and those other countries and strikes me as, you know, all the other stuff, the rise of china, all this is real and these are long term trends but we have a huge challenge here with a country that has the next to other country engaging in massive Cyber Hacking and cyber war and he needs to be tough on this one. The idea that the putin will be on the level and dealings with the quunited states, is the any evidence of that . Not necessarily going to change his ways, why have an audience for the President Of The United States . Well, you know, you negotiate with your adversaries most of the time. Youre not negotiating with your friends. I certainly think its worth meeting with them but your general point is right. Putin is not going to suddenly say you got me. Were going to stop doing all this Cyber Hacking or okay, ill get out of ukraine. What has to happen is he has to understand that the cost remains high, that nato and the European Union are not going to control the tower. I know this, anderson, because i talk to him about this very specific issue, which is his this is im talking about vladimir putin. Ive had the opportunity to meet him. His goal, his strategy is the west will tire of these sanctions in russia. He believes italy and france are desperate to do business with russia. As they fuel their recovery, what biden has to convince is that the west is united in this and that as long as he continues to occupy ukraine, hes not going to be able to have Business As Usual with any of europes great economies. This interview with nbc the other day, putin laughed off the idea that President Biden called him a killer. Jeff zeleny asked President Biden about that today and doubled down but didnt use the word killer. How fraught is the relationship between our two countries, especially compared to how it was under the former president . I think in someways we have a more adult relationship is to say we have real differences with russia. Russia is the Principle Kind of Spoiler Rogue great power on the World Stage if you look at ukraine, syria, if you look at cyberspace, we need to have a I Wouldnt say confrontational but tough relationship with russia that makes clear these behaviors at all levels are unacceptable. I think under trump we had a bizarre relationship where they were being tough on russia. The President Of The United States meanwhile was literally siding with the success to the Kgb And Intelligence analysis versus america. Yo u you have to look at that and say what is going on . We dont have a Weird Disdense in dealing with russia. We have a tough, firm, determined relationship. I wish we didnt get into the Name Calling with putin as a killer and such but biden is trying to convey correctly that he has no illusions about Putin Or Russia but still has to talk to him. He still wants to, as he says, stable and predictable relations with him. Fareed zakaria, appreciate it. Marjorie Taylor Greene facing fallout comparing a House Mask Mandate to the holocaust.

Breaking news from washington Tonight, Marjorie Taylor Greene Tonight apologized for houseman dates and vaccination passports to the Holocaust Comparison after she toured the Holocaust Museum in washington today. Ryan nobles join s us. Not much was known before her trip to the Holocaust Museum. Reporter this came as a big surprise because Marjorie Taylor Greene doubled down. The idea she would tour the Museum And Apologize for making remarks about something she didnt expect was contripe but we should point out there were controversial comments she refused to take back. Lets take a listen to what she said today. Antisemitism is true hate and i saw that today at the Holocaust Museum and i think its something that we should all remember and never forget. So i just wanted to come here today and say that im truly sorry for offending people with remarks about the holocaust. There is no comparison. There never ever will be. You know, socialism is extremely dangerous and so is communism and any time a government moves into policies where there is more control and there is freedoms taken away, yes, thats a danger for everyone and i think Thats Something that we should all be wary of. Reporter the second part of that answer, anderson was in response to a question about whether or not she would take back comments comparing the National Socialist Party to the modern Democratic Party. You can see she refused to take that step. She was contripe. There were several other controversial statements she wasnt ready to apologize for today. I mean, i was about to say i give her props for apologizing, which is not something you hear a lot from, you know, the qanon types of the world of which she has been a supporter in the past, but she still is not backing away or apologizing for comparing the, you know, one of the two main Political Parties in the united states comparing them to nazis. Thats exactly right. You mention the Qanon Conspiracy she in the past endorsed and has been concerting with folks that believe that conspiracy theory. I specifically asked her about that. There are qanon supporters who deny the holocaust and she repeatedly said that the holocaust happened and i asked her to denounce the group and say there is disinformation they spread. Not just having to do with people in the jewish faith but she should disassociate themselves from. She claimed to know nothing about the qanon its based on age old anti Kcatholic Tropes and the pedophiles, the nozazis talked about jewish bankers. Its ridiculous for her to claim that. I want to remind people what she originally said which shes partially backing away from although maybe not really. Let take a look. We can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a Gold Star and they were definitely treated like second class citizens so much so that they were put in trains and taken to Gas Chambers in Nazi Germany and this is exactly the Abuse Nancy Pelosi is talking about. What was that anchor nodding his head about . Any idea what prompted this . Is she getting flak and maybe even hearing it from some of her supporters and thats why . The republican leadership condemned her remarks at the time so its clear there are a lot of republicans uncomfortable with those statements. She claims it was just after a reflection on her own that she looked back at the comments and decided that she needed to make amends but anderson, there is a big coincidence here in terms of the timing. Representative omar is a congresswoman from minnesota. She made comments last week comparing the united states and israeli governments to the taliban and hamas. Shes been wrongly criticized by democrats and republicans and we know republicans to attempt to remove her from the foreign Affairs Committee so its convenient that Marjorie Taylor Greene is attempting to remove herself to allow republicans to go on the akngainst omar. She was asked about omar during the Press Conference and took the opportunity to condemn her and said she didnt agree with what omar had to say. Omar did clarify remarks. Democratic leadership has said they were unhappy with what she had to say. Democrats are ready to move on but its clear there are republicans hoping to create a divide in the Democratic Party. Ryan nobles, appreciate it. I want to get perspective from congressman steve cohen. Thanks for joining us. When we spoke about this last month, you said Marjorie Taylor Greene didnt understand history and has a Quote Real Problem with jewish people. Did anything she said Tonight change her opinion . Not really. I mean, i think it was good she did apologize and she went to the Holocaust Museum and might have learned something. She didnt learn a lot. The socialist party, the nazis were about killing all the jewish people. They were about prejudice and thats not anything the Democratic Party is for. She didnt learn much about really the experience of the holo holocaust. She seemed like she had phrases she saw maybe somebody told her about the worst genocide ever or something that never happened again or never forget but it didnt sound like it came from the heart and to go on an attack against omar is wrong, too. There are two kpr extremes. People respond to that and use that to attack either party. We snneed to come together and realize the enemy is not the democrats and republicans. It the people who try to bring about an insurrection and turn our government over on january the 6th. Thats something that ms. Green most of the republicans, not all cant get their arms around, their heads around that this was a revolution. This was an insurrection to cut out proper Processing Transfer of power and Joe Bidens election. Thats who Marjorie Taylor Greene and republicans need to tell their people is Joe Biden won the election and it was honest and clean and one of the most honest clean if not the most ever and that Joe Biden is the president and won in a landslide and to get over this stuff with the fact Donald Trump is not the president. Hes a golfer. You know, i dont know how we step back and im talking about all of us, step back from this brink where people who have a different Point Of View and, you know, surveying congress, now seem emboldened to view somebody with a different Point Of View not just as somebody with a different way of looking at something but an american, patriot, whatever but they look at it as an enemy. There are a lot of people in this country who view somebody on the other side of the political aisle as an enemy as unamerican and unpatriotic and i dont know how we move forward as a country when that is the go to position for so many people. Its very difficult because that is what is going on, anderson. It makes it difficult to serve in congress to see people mostly extreme, most of the republican members are good men and women and Friends Of Mine and we get along great but there is a hand full that find every opportunity to try to compare democrats that are Off The Wall and defunding police which is not true and call the democrats the socialist party of america, which is not true. I saw one of my friends dana warback, a friend of mine still is saying the nazis and communists were taking the vote and taking it away and steal the vote situation. It was nwas Nozazis And Communi doing it. They tend to believe it. It makes things worse. From people telling Me Antifa did the January 6th insurrection. They were dressed as trump people and all a scam. These people believe it. We need the republicans need to come straight and let their people know that Joe Bidens president and the election was clean and get over it and we need a commission to study what happened on January 6th and how the police were attacked and call all kind of names and over 100 of them were injured and several died and we need to come to grips with that. Thats the most important thing we have. All this stuff is ignorance on the part of some people who dont understand what happened. The holocaust was terrific. Being jewish, of course, i think about it. My ancestors came from an area that was poland and had been poland and had been austria and hungary. I think with many might have died and its horrifying to think somebody would minimize the holocaust and condemn it. I understand she said christians died in the Hole Ocaust but the christians werent part of the holocaust. The snazis were christian. Congressman, appreciate your time Tonight. Thank you.

The House And Senate Judiciary Commits will investigate the episode as Merrick Garland says the Justice Department will strengthen rules regarding seeking congressional records. The Department Inspector General has begun an investigation. The whole affair raises a slew of questions one of those members of congress targeted was California Representative Eric Swalwell who sits on the House Intelligence Committee and joins me now. Congressman swalwell, there is a lot we do not know. Have you got any answers in the last few days . M what more do you know, exactly . I would not. Id like to. I put in a request to speak to the department. Its fair to say they know how to get ahold of me at this point. Frankly, i would like to know just how wide this investigation was and whats concerning to me, president s set a tone for the country and Donald Trump from the very beginning set a tone for bowling and a phony tough guy image and we see that redp reflected in everyday Life Today whether people throwing bottles at nba players and insulting Health Care workers and the breakdown of decency on the House Floor and campaigns and the ultimate manifestation being the insurrection at the capitol and Donald Trump went beyond that and treated the law as a nuisance. The concern is not just the targeting of his political opponents but the trickle down effect and are they targeting political enemies. We need to find out how far this goes. Do you see sessions and Barr And Rosenstein didnt know this activity was happening within the Justice Department because sessions, i mean, i was reading back on this was bragging about the number of leak investigations. Is there any realistic scenario in which those three or some of those three would not know that this was going on . No. Youre sure of that . Yes. My knowledge of how the department works, sensitive matters involving members of congress or any person, you know, who may not want to investigate unless you have a really good reason to because of political fallout, that would go to the department of justice. I want to say this, anderson. Im not above the law. If i or anyone else does something wrong, i should be surveilled and so should anybody else but a number of leaks occurred while i was on the Intelligence Committee prior to this and i was in a small group of people that knew about the classified information out there. I was not part of that and therefore i was not targeted. The only difference is President Trump and mr. Schiff and others were large voices of Donald Trumps corruption. It should be investigated. Again, we dont know the exact reason for these particular cases but to your point, if it was you, Adam Schiff, even Don Mcgahn who clearly the president had ire toward based on the Decisions Mcgahn made in the White House, the White House counsel, that seems to be the only commonality on the face of it that these are you and the others are people who were you had the ire of the president directed toward youall. Thats right. Anderson, again, Don Mcgahn was part of the Mueller Investigation so maybe there was a good reason to look at his records except this investigation into his records went all the way up until this may when the Mueller Investigation as we all know closed back in the spring of 2019. So again, it feels really political and this is a president who would reward his friends, remember, he reduced the sentences for roger stone, made the Flynn Case go away. Pardoned manafort and would Weapon News Weapon news the department against enemies. Youre calling on Jerry Nadler announcing a former investigation if barr, session, rosenstein are subpoenaed by the committee. Is it realistic they would testify any time soon . Could they resist and have their lawyers try to delay things . Of course. Thats right out of the Donald Trump legal Terrorist Playbook We Saw during his administration. I hope our congressional say pe something. I hope the public pressure comes down on these individuals to be held to account because this isnt going away and its not because its personal for us. Its because if we allow this to occur, a future corrupt president may not be so patient to wait for a Grand Jury investigation. They may just call for them to be locked up and skipped any intermediary step that may be required. The fact that the Inspector General at the department of justice is investigating, doesnt that allow the Justice Department now and Merrick Garland, the current Attorney General to say look, i Cant Comment on this because its an on going investigation . It certainly allows them to interview current officials at the department of justice who may have been involved but barr, session, whitaker, rosenstein have left the Department And Cant become compelled to talk the Inspector General so congress has an ability to do that and whether thats us working to make sure we dont compromise the investigation but still diligently doing our job, we have to do that because again, we cant let a future more corrupt, more competent president come along and do this. I do want to reiterate, we dont know exactly what is behind this. The republican Senator Chuck Grassley recently said and im quoting, he said investigations into members of Congress And Staff are nothing new especially for classified leaks. If this was just concern over leaks and thats where they were, that led them to you and to Adam Schiff and Don Mcgahn, is that okay . Again, im not above the law, anderson. What is unique here is it wasnt everyone on the committee who had their devices surveilled because we heard the same information thats allegedly been leaked. Its the two people that were the loudest critics of the president and again, i know that i did not leak anything so im really wondering what Predicate And Evidence did you have to go into my phone. They didnt have any and so my concern is that, you know, there is much more to this and others who were targeted that we may find out about. Congressman swalwell, appreciate your time, thanks.

There is a growing fear of violence from the more extreme members or followers of Qanon Conspiracy theory. They are seeing some followers are saying enough is enough and want to move from digital soldiers into actually carrying out acts of violence and disenchanted with a lack of progress they are seeing what was predicted hasnt come true. So many things. So many crazy thing haves been predicted that havent come true. One is president Donald Trump is still actually president and that he would reassume the office on March 6th after President Biden had been sworn in. This is an unclassified report, two pages from the fbi obtained by szack and i want to read par of it for you. It says some domestic violent extremists adhering of qanon likely will begin to belive they can no longer trust the Plan Reference in qanon posts and they have an obligation to change from surveying digital soldiers towards engaging in real world violence. Including harming perceived members of the kabul instead of accusing accusations that have not occurred. Thats in reference to the global elites, the deep state they call these people they believe are pedophiles and have an international Child Sex Trafficking ring so there is a fear that this could turn into violence and of course, weve seen that happen, anderson. There were aleat least 20 accorg to the fbi. What does the assessment say about the number of people involved with qanon. There was talk when the former president left there were a lot of dissatisfaction among some followers of q because as you said, everything this Shadow Q Figure whatever group it is, none of it has come to pass and yet, they just kind of change their believes and pretend like theyre not being deceived. Well, they do say the fbi says some could fall away because there is a new administration, because they realize President Biden is actually the president. Reality is setting in. Those productions as i mentioned arent coming true and perhaps, most importantly, anderson, so much of the material and so much of this content is removed from the main Social Media sites. So that is no longer there so the combination of those things means the fbi believes that some will fall away but at the same time, you do have that more Extremist Element that could grow more radicalized and one of the things they mentioned that is important if youre hearing some of this Yqanon Content lik mar Marjorie Taylor Greene youve been discussing that will have a real impact. Alex marquardt, appreciate it. A special report, assault on Democracy Area sunday night. Drew griffin has now details what happened during the attack. That area sunday 9 00 p. M.

[ Me And You by barry Louis Polisar ] Me And You just singing on the train Me And You listening to the rain Me And You we are the same Me And You have all the fame we need indeed, you and me are we Me And You singing in the park Me And You, were waiting for the dark whatever you want to call it, a sham, a pointless exercise or just plain sad that Arizona Hand recounted more than 2 Million votes in the states most populous county is just with at the Finish Line but the end in phoenix may be the beginning of something similar in other states. Reporter on the day the socalled Arizona Audit announces it has essentially completed a Hand Review of the maricopa 2020 ballots, she toured the floor for the first time. While this looks like an official visit by the most powerful senator in arizona, dont believe it, says liz howard. So whats happening here, is this an you had a it . No. This is not an audit. It is a partisan review. If the consequences of this Event Werent so scary, it would be funny. When you are on the floor, what youre seeing is reminiscent of Lucy And Ethel at the chocolate factory. Howard is one of the observers for the Secretary Of State on the floor and watching as the Big Lie spreads before her eyes. In the last two weeks, lawmakers from about a dozen states have made the pilgrimage to the socalled floor. Frm key battleground states. The visitors proudly posing with arizonas most vocal critics of the 2020 election. And now this Exercise Shifts to Paper Evaluation of the ballots. Still chasing ridiculous conspiracies like whether Photo Company ballots were mysteriously inserted. One Micro Scope is trained on the oval of the President Race and theres lights from the side so you can see that it is filled in by a hand written, or a handheld writing device. It can even sense that there is indentation in the paper. And then there are a couple looking at paper fibers. So everything in general related to the authenticity of the payment. That Paper Evaluation has been rife with problems. Observers have noticed software noticing that they got out of sync. Producing distorted ballot images. A problem happening every day. Another problem, workers examining ballots clicking a green ballot if it was done by a human. Red for not human. They got confused mislabeling a few dozen ballots. And persistent lack of training. An observer heard an Audit Worker saying, i have never done this. Can someone show me how to take a photo . They called it untrue and overblown. This exercise has been widely criticized from officials from both parties. More spines this is not over. She is going to try to add legitimacy to this process which is sorely lacking in legitimacy. The auditors lack auditing experience, actual administration experience, and are obviously very biased. And joining us from phoenix, i know youre hearing that nearly all the ballots have been hand counted per the audit spokesman. We dont know if it is true or not. Whats happening now . Reporter well, there are braille ballots involved. About 50,000 of them that have yet to be counted. This is something weve known with since november when Maricopa County originally did their count. Now theyre in the process of trying to count them. They need to find somebody to read braille. So thats what the holdup is. The surprising thing is that this was not a surprise. The woman We Saw on the floor in your piece states, karen, you had an exchange with her a few weeks ago and i want to play part of that. It is going a little slower than we expected. All in all, it is going pretty good. This is the first of its kind. Never been done in the united states. So this is all a brand new process that were all having to work through. A lot of national concern about the process being done, about why it is being done. What do you think about the concerns of the election officials in this country who say this is unnecessary and is creating doubt . So i can tell you exactly why were doing it. And heres a prime example in arizona and it was actually reported in the arizona republic, a local paper. One of our largest in the state. It said there was a poll done a few weeks ago by High Ground where they polled people across the state of all parties, and the polling came pout 55 of all the people polled, the average, that they believe there was no serious fraud. Quote unquote. Now, the article goes on to say we dont need to do the audit because 55 said there isnt. So i mean, i dont quite understand her logic here.
