>> so far no. i mean, i think the communications have been very oddly all over the place you have had varying job numbers. transportation secretary pete buttigieg had to admit that that 19 million jobs number may not be totally accurate. so, you know, it's funny, we talked about this last week on the show and harold actually brought up that we needed a bipartisan infrastructure bill because we needed to compete with china. and i actually totally agreed with harold on that last week. this is where i think many republicans are confused. there is an appetite to revamp our infrastructure to compete with china. there are many things where biden could have made good on his inaugural address where he promised to bring people together to work in a bipartisan fashion. this would have been the perfect opportunity to do so. especially after a covid spending bill that was just ridiculously and needlessly large and wasteful. but the biden team is once again shunned the opportunity to be bipartisan, shunned the opportunity to stand up against china and their comm strategy is all over the place. >> john: how about that harold ford jr. it looks like it's going to go through a rec done sillation process or nuke the filibuster to get it through on strictly partisan vote. unity is not in the cards here though the president says he wants to work with republicans. >> thanks for having me on. i did say that i thank morgan for the kind words. i believe that any bill any law that is passed with bipartisan support in any space or sphere is a more sustainable one for a lot of reasons. sometimes you find yourself having to go a different route. look, the 20th century was won by america because we built an incredible coalition and consensus around the notion of advancing democracy and freedom across the european continent and around the globe. the 21st century in the first 21 years we are seeing that a big part of this is going to be decided by who is best positioned to compete and win against china? do we make the right investments in advanced manufacturing? will we make the right investment in advanced manufacturing artificial intelligence and robotics? those are things that i think every american participate in. we distinguished between roads, bridges broadband as opposed to child care. access to basic economic necessities. we are not looking at this the right way. the blue collar, blueprint for american growth recognizes that every american community in the midwest, the south, across the country has to be able to compete. i like where he started. i might add roy blunt said that the republicans started 700 billion. they said they can take 30% of what he wanted. 700 billion is 2.25 trillion. i think we can find compromise somewhere between that or even closer to 2 trillion. >> john: let's get bill bennett in here you talk about competitiveness the president wants to tax rate to 28% would then be 32.5% way above china the highest in the organization of economic cooperation and development countries, bill. >> yeah, that's not competing successfully with china to pick up on what harold ford just said. so there is a real problem there. why do you want to handy be cap handicap the american economy. funny business about the jobs numbers. you know, it's going to produce 19 million jobs. well, no, not really, maybe like 2.7 million jobs the other 16 million will be produced no matter what happens even if nothing happens. this is like the talk show host i met in seattle who told a radio host he and rush limbaugh had -- got to straight then out. of course you can. a lot of people can't do the math right now including biden. >> john: all right, well, listen, let's leave it there. because coming up next, we want to talk about the georgia election law fallout and the possible u.s. boycott of the china olympics is it just talk or might it actually happen?

>> you know, i think that we sometimes rush to racialize things a bit. without first laying out all the facts. let me be clear. i think the sport of hank aaron and jackie robinson shouldn't be criticized here. >> the relates is this bill doesn't do the two things. ensure thawing have checks and balances in an election. remove the authority and oversight from the secretary of state. and gave it to the state legislature. and went buy more voting machines. democrats will have to largely give in on the notion that we should have some voter i.d., voter requirement -- voter i.d. requirements whether you vote in person or mail-in. this jumping the gun that corporations have no right to say that they believe access to the ballot is fundamental and fair is the right thing to do. and north carolina they did this several years ago and they waited six months to change a civil rights law change they made to the bathrooms there they lost $4 billion. why would you give up this level of investment whether you think baseball is right or wrong, just change the law and do the things that you want to do without hurting people's access to the ballot. >> john: morgan there has been a support of the boycott mlb and moving the all-star game out of georgia to denver. at the same time the president has not weighed in on boycotting the olympics. in fact the white house did weigh in today saying we are not going to boycott the olympics. listen to what jen psaki said followed up by the former u.n. ambassador nikki haley here. >> our position on the 2022 olympics has not changed. we have not discussed and are not discussing any joint boycott with allies and partners. there is no discussion underway of a change in our plans regarding the beijing olympics. >> he refers to the georgia law as a jim crow law, yet, he is not doing anything about literal slavery happening in china. america should be leading the charge on the chinese boycott. >> john: is there a double standard at work here? >> yeah, nikki haley was absolutely right. what's going on in china is not about politics. it is genocide. we have a number of reports of women that are being forced to have abortions. forced sterilization. i mean, we really have to peel back the layers here and look at what is actually happening. it's either a genocide or it's not. and the administration should ask themselves would you hold these same olympics, would you attend these olympics if they were in darfur. would you attend if they were in myanmar. you wouldn't? what's the point of attending them in china and also, i should note, if you look at the chinese communist party daily rhetoric about the olympics, they are incredibly threatening to any country or any entity to would boycott or would not attend. and so while they are having this over the top rhetoric and threatening, we are once again capitulating and it's befuddling to me. >> john: bill, your thoughts on all of this? >> yeah, well, two things. one, do an experiment and decide who is right. play president biden talking about china. play president biden talking about georgia. interest is nor dripping contempt for georgia. more disdain for georgia than for the murderous regime in china. this is what biden has been doing for a long time. he is a classic knee jerk liberal i come from new york. i know a lot of them. he criticized texas for being than thrall. you remember the comments in virginia he said to a black audience they he want to put you back in chains. jim crow thing. jim crow on steroids does he have any idea what he is talking about when he is talking about jim crow? this is terrible. for him to make these comparisons and faulk about georgia in this way and not to make the point that morgan just made is not sick. it's reprehensible. it's terrible. it's part of his anti-southern bigotry which he has had for a long time. i will send him my history book. i won't charge him for it. i will send him my history book or anybody else's history book and harold ford didn't answer the question. i have a lot of respect for harold. he did not answer the question whether there was jim crow or not. it is not jim crow. certainly not jim crow on steroids. president biden, it is the united states of america. you are talking about. not some murderous regime. >> john: harold, do you want to pick up on that. >> look i said we are too quick to racialize things and i, maybe i'm not answering the question the way that the secretary wants me to answer it. but i will say expand access to the ballot, restore the oversight and if i were governor of that state, i would not want to lose billions and billions of business investment and sporting event revenue. there is a way to solve this. be constructive, be smart and be a leader and get it done. >> he didn't lose it. he didn't lose it. he didn't lose it. >> fred ridley the chairman of the augusta national golf club when asked about it said what we need to do talk communicate let the democratic process works as the masters begin tomorrow under a cloud of controversy. we will see if people are willing to talk or if they're going to keep yell at each other. stay where you are, panel. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines. ♪ ♪ are you managing your diabetes... ...using fingersticks?
