Page 5 - Do Biden News Today

Thank you so much for being here. this is about debt that has been racked up. this is our credit card, our national credit card that must be paid. so when you hear lawmakers like congressman andy biggs this week tweet, we cannot raise the debt ceiling. democrats have carelessly spent our taxpayer money and devalued our currency. they have made their beds, so they must lie in it. whats your response to that? >> well, look. thank you for having me. president biden understands intimately the import...

Alisyn, we will certainly find out. >> thank you. when it comes to president bidens inner circle, some say the documents controversy is just d.c. elite making d.c. noise. will it blow over like they think it will? well talk about it. formance was legendary. they just piled it on. roast beef, ham, oven roasted turkey. all on the subway clclub. three peat - thats great. three e meat - thats epic. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. hey, man. you could save hundreds for safe driving...

People, its own freedom. so if putin is going to go back to just the donbas and crimea, that has nothing to do with anything biden said. >> and, susan, president biden was asked if he thinks that putin might view his remark as escalatory. he said he didnt care. what did you think about that? >> well, look, i think biden is embracing -- hes used increasingly strong language in recent weeks. it wasnt just the comment the other day. he said putin essentially is a war criminal. hes a brutal dictator...

Russia is talking about pulling back to the donbas because they have failed in the first month of this invasion of any of putins objectives. the scary part is i dont think these negotiations right now with ukraine seem to have much going for them until putin can come up with some way of claiming victory. and if thats gobbling up another piece of ukraine, the fear is how does nato and president biden stop him from thinking can he gobble it up in bits and pieces going forward? >> and, steve, presi...

>> outstanding. thank you for that report. will senator mitt romney be one of the few or maybe the only republican senator to vote in support of bidens supreme court nominee judge ketanji brown jackson? the exclusive interview with mitt romney next.

Taylor, and cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser. steve, let me start with you. today president biden said that hes going to stand by comments he made over the weekend when he said of putin, for gods sake, this man cannot remain in power. some people in the international community, especially the president of france, thought that might send an escalatory message of possible regime change. here is what president biden had to say. >> it wasnt then or now a policy change. i was expressing outra...

Ukraine maybe to the south and east, free ukraine to the west. do bidens comments about who should be in power embolden putin in any way, do you think? >> jake, i dont think so. i dont think that those comments had anything to do with the decision to try to carve out a part of ukraine. putin carved out a part of ukraine in 2014 when he first invaded. he carved out crimea. he carved out a place we call donbas. and if thats what they are going back to, thats actually a reduction in what they had p...

>> so what do you make of all this? do you think this statement will, what biden said over the weekend, will have an effect on international affairs on putin? >> i dont think, jake, it will have an effect on putin largely because putin makes up his mind about these things and indeed has made up his mind whether or not the united states actually wants regime change long ago. i served in moscow back in the early part of 2010 during protests. we spoke to russians on the streets there, oh, yes, hill...

Of a legal argument. thats a pretty damning statement. >> and a difference of a senator or a pundit saying it and a judge, a federal judge. >> exactly. >> neither the judge nor the january 6 committee is actually able to prosecute trump and his allies or anyone else. thats just not in their powers. does president biden need to tread lightly when it comes to attorney general merrick garland and whether or not he decides to pursue trump and the prosecution before the 2024 election? >> i dont know ...

The president has shrugged at comparisons to fdr, but heres a memorable moment this week from the house floor. take a listen. >> just a few weeks ago, congresswoman abigail stanberger said nobody elected joe biden to be fdr. >> i did! >> nichols, do bidens achievements in his first 11 months amount to a new deal? when you talk to the white house, do they plan to lean into that sense of vision? >> its certainly something democrats are talking up right now. i mean, being in the house chamber that ...
