in his first major speech since losing the house, biden says to hell with working with the gop to make your lives better. he is looking for a fight, dishing the kumbaya talk, and unleashing on republicans trying to rein in his reckless spending. this ain t your father s republican party. this is a different breed of cat, as they say. republicans inflict this pain on the american people. why? why? they seem determined to be the party of chaos and catastrophe. they want to eliminate the irs, going to eliminate it completely. only guys that look at the complicated tax returns that people have, and replace the iro taxes, right? except with a 30% national sales tax. let me be clear. if any of these bills somehow got passed the house and senate, i will veto them. jeanine: oh, wow. okay. well, let me start with oh, but joe isn t sorry, guys. i was so stunned by that. joe isn t going this alone. the white house seem to have sent democrats the same talking points. it s a sil
places lost in the past weeks. so this is about vengeance and spite. this prisoner, this claimed to be local but they think he s a russian soldier deserting or left behind. what else moscow left behind is far uglier. these tiny rooms in their detention center where as many as 400 prisoners were held at one time we were told. eight or nine prisoners per cell. booby traps now in their place, a warning written next to this room. so he s writing grenade there on the wall. as they move through these cells, they re finding booby traps left, it seems, by the occupying forces. that one in there, a grenade left under a tray of half-eaten food. and it just shows you the hazards that ordinary people are going to find coming back. a place like this, sure, used as a key detention center by the russians, but across this town, the damage is extraordinary but also too is the risk of unexploded o rcrdnance and boob traps. they re discovering two other scars from torture. he says he was impr
beijing has stopped cooperation with the u.s. on military operations and climate change. meanwhile, russia indicates it is ready to discuss a prisoner swap, one day after a court sentenced brittney griner to nine years in prison. we begin with the increasingly complicated state of the u.s. economy, after a string of not so great data on economic growth, inflation, and consumer sentiment. a sign that things may not be as bad as many think. the government says employers added 528,000 jobs in july, more than double what experts had predicted. the unemployment rate fell slightly to 3.5%, and when you break down that number, the numbers fell for minorities. president biden state more people are working than at any point in american history. that s millions of families with the dignity and peace of mind that a paycheck provides. he goes on to say there s more work to do, but today s jobs report shows we are, quote, making significant progress for working families. with us now to
