and all presidents try to go around their press corps. mike memoli is one of the best and so is the entire nbc white house group. i think what s interesting, remember mike said that he pays attention to his coverage more than we would think. he said it seems as if they are trying to trial run some things. he is on this show. he might be on gma. they will let biden be biden. maybe that s a good thing. the fourth estate, to use it in a technical way, is just as distorted as the other states in our society. it seems to me that part of what he has to do is to figure out how to grab the attention of a public that seems not able to pay attention to things very long and for a very long period of time. maybe being on your show or coming into these spaces, that might help. i m not sure if it will.
biden just let biden be biden. harris: you are good with him? i m supporting him for re-election. that s the give and take of the president and the white house. the last president used to give it and take it with the white house press corps quite a bit calling them stupid idiots. walking out and banning reporters with negative coverage from white house grounds like ma major he talked about his questions. harris: that s an interesting argument, doug considering the fact that democrats say the reason they were so in love with joe biden was because he would be different from the man they can t stop saying the name of, donald trump. we got what did we get? we got a look at what happens when people actually start to

does the act opposite. at least she did leave the balloon prop at home. also embarrassing herself, her bff kevin the speaker and the whole country, too. meanwhile in the republican response, sarah huckabee sanders does her version of carnage tying the party back to trump. also tonight, reaction to president biden s call for police reform as twisted new details emerge today about tyre nichols death after a vicious beating by memphis police. we begin tonight with a state of the union address for the books. when last night president biden achieved what kevin mccarthy could never do, which was uniting the room and getting republicans to jump to their seats in support of medicare and social security. yes, that happened. it was a master class, really, on outnegotiating republicans, pulled off by biden who sparred with a raucous crowd.
