Taylor, and cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser. steve, let me start with you. today president biden said that he's going to stand by comments he made over the weekend when he said of putin, for god's 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 wasn't then or now a policy change. i was expressing outrage i feel and i make no apologies. the last part was talking to the russian people, telling what ...

Ukraine maybe to the south and east, free ukraine to the west. do biden's comments about who should be in power embolden putin in any way, do you think? >> jake, i don't think so. i don't 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 that's what they are going back to, that's actually a reduction in what they had planned to do, but that was an early effort and if they're going back to that now, that probably...

The president has shrugged at comparisons to fdr, but here's 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 biden's 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? >> it's certainly something democrats are talking up right now. i mean, being in the house chamber that evening, you could feel the energy from house democrats, as sleep deprived as they were. they saw...
