Page 4 - Biden Push News Today

0 come into this? putin is a bad actor and everybody knows this. the president has been clear, he does not expect breakthroughs but what wants a professional relationship where adults can talk about important things. whether its on cyber or political rights or on ukraine, and perhaps he will be more muted at the press conference, and president biden has to make his case here of why he believes even though you dont expect any change in putins behavior that it was important to sit down eyeball to ...

Legislation? it might be not surprised biden push for more progressive policies that money expected. especially congresswoman ocasio-cortez. >> i think that their outreach and collaboration with house progressives -- i wasnt there at the time, from what im hearing from my colleagues, is less contentious than it was with even the obama administration. so, when it comes to that perspective, i think the administration has acknowledged that there are very strong parts of the progressive movement tha...

End egg some of those brutal fighting in years. at least 240 palestinians and 12 israelis were killed. even with the cease-fire in place, we are just learning about new flashes this morning between lierl police and palestinians at the temple mount in jerusalem. more than a dozen people were reported hurt after police used stun grenades. the clashes follow remarks from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who called the day an assault on hamas an outstanding success but also warned any viol...

Intensive diplomacy. among the priorities for this 3rez was to end the violence as soon as possible, refocus on his domestic agenda. it was much more muted his strategy in terms of its style and public facing elements to it but much more hardlined in terms of the message in terms of substance. 80 calls to the administration and foreign counterparts, six calls between the president and benjamin netanyahu yesterday, the first call with the prime minister in egypt with -- excuse me, with president ...

So far that hasnt happened and that obviously is a good sign but were keeping an eye. >> it certainly is, kelly, and thats a really important point to make. i want to go to my partner at the white house, peter. i know you have been talking to your sources and were tracking this throughout the week. watching the president really get criticism for his handling of this, including from some members of his own party, who said he wasnt being tough enough. the white house said, look, he was engaged in ...

Representation. actually, an independent commission is the best option for republicans if you assume that there is going to be an investigation one way or the other. >> thats a really important point. jake, let me just ask you if there is a commission, we know that theres going tosh a lot of focus on kevin mccarthy. democrats want him to testify about that phone call that he had with former president trump on the day of january 6th that has gotten so much attention. and yesterday he said he woul...

Be, peter. i think you raise the seminole point, and kelly, i want to bring you in on it. as peter mentioned, the biden administration in some ways crafted this strategy based on what happened in 2014, when they went through eight truces in the middle east before ninth cease-fire actually held. so what is the strategy now in terms of making sure that this cease-fire actually holds and its actually successful? i know egypt and qatar will be critical. >> thats right, kristen. it is very fragile. a...

There are only about a dozen who are considering or willing to discuss it. some say like senator susan collins and mitt romney, if there are minor changes made, they could potentially support it. but its going to be very difficult to get the republicans it needs in order to support it. democratic sources are saying, lets put this bill on the floor. if republicans want to change it, lets vote on amendments, see how that process goes down and if thats actually what happens. but like i said, its go...

Is conversation with the president, and theres some sort of privacy expected with that? i dont think thats going to fly. but, listen, the real concern among mccarthy and republicans is democrats can send this panel into next year, into an election year, and continue to tie donald trump to the neck of every republican, which theyre going to do regardless of this commission or not. i think thats the real political fear theyre facing right now. >> i think youre absolutely right. they have their eye...

Saying as they have been all along this was a cover-up and they feel like greene was murdered. but we arent hearing very much more from law enforcement officials. as i say, theyre continuing this investigation and arent going to speak on an ongoing investigation. kristen? >> yamiche, i want to bring you into the conversation now. you and i have been covering the debate over police reform in washington. we know that president biden called for it to get done by may 25th. that is, of course, the on...
