WILL BE SIGNING MORE AS I
MENTIONED A DOZEN EXECUTIVE
ORDERS INTO LAW LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND WHILE THEY
WILL ADDRESS THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC THEY WILL ALSO ADDRESS
STUDENT LOAN DEBT AND THOSE
ORDERS WILL ALSO REVERSED A LOT
OF THE POLICIES THAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAD INCLUDING THE MUSLIM
TRAVEL BAN THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE WALL AMONG THE U.S. MEXICO
BORDER AND REJOINING THE PARIS
CLIMATE ACCORDS
FOR MORE ON THIS. LET'S BRING
IN LISA HAGEN POLITICAL
REPORTER OVER AT US NEWS AND
WORLD REPORT LISA ALWAYS A
PLEASURE GREAT TO
SEE YOU. HOW DIFFICULT WILL
THIS BE ESSENTIALLY FOR JOE
BIDEN EVEN WITH THESE EXECUTIVE
ORDERS REALLY TO ROLL BACK THE
LAST 4 YEARS OF THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY TO ALMOST MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
>> RIGHT WELL HE'S GETTING A
FAST START DOING THAT HE'S
PRETTY MUCH TAKING AN AXE
TO SOME OF THE BIGGEST PARTS OF
TRUMP'S LEGACY AND SOMETHING
THAT YOU KNOW PRESIDENT FORMER
PRESIDENT NOW REALLY CARED
ABOUT IT IS IMMIGRATION SO HAD
ENDING CONSTRUCTION. THE BORDER
WALL IRIS STANDING ORDERS ON
THE CENSUS SO WHAT HAVE YOU AND
SO HE IS GETTING A REALLY FAST
QUICK START ON THE MAP BUT YOU
I MEAN
HE HAS OR YEARS TO SEE WHAT HE
WANTS TO UNDO AND THIS IS I
SHOULD ADD THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT A
LOT OF PRESIDENTS DO THEY YOU
KNOW HIS 2 PREDECESSORS DID
THAT TRUMP AND FORMER PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA YOU KNOW A LOT OF
TIMES USING EXECUTIVE ACTIONS
TO UNDO YOUR PREDECESSORS WORK
AND AND START TO AN ACTOR
AGENDA, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE
NOT SURE IF CONGRESS WILL EVEN
APPROVE THAT.
>> AT LEAST WE KNOW COULD THE
CORONAVIRUS AND THE VACCINATION
PROCESS IS GOING TO BE ONE AREA
THAT JOE BIDEN IS GOING TO BE
HEAVILY JUDGED AT
THE BEGINNING. HE'S ALREADY
COME OUT SAYING HE WANTS A MASK
MANDATE FOR ANY SORT OF FEDERAL
PROPERTY A SOCIAL DISTANCING
MANDATE ON FEDERAL PROPERTY AS
WELL.
HOW MUCH PUSHBACK TO ENVISION
HIM GETTING FROM A LOT OF THESE
RED STATE CONSERVATIVES THE
CHRISTINE OWNS THE RON
DESANTIS'S OF THE WORLD,
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT
A LOT OF THEM HAVE PRESIDENTIAL
AMBITIONS OF THEIR OWN.
>> RAY I IMAGINE WE'LL
DEFINITELY SEE SOME PUSHBACK I
MEAN THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT
WE'D SEEN EARLY ON IN
THE PANDEMIC. EFFECT BEGINNING
MONTHS WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE THE
COUNTRY IS AT LEAST A LITTLE
MORE PULLING TO GO INTO
LOCKDOWN DIDN'T
SOME ROLLBACKS OF JUST NORMAL
LIFE AND SO NOW THAT WE'VE KIND
OF SETTLED INTO THIS THE
NEW NORMAL I THINK IT'S GOING
TO REALLY ARE FOR PEOPLE TO TO
KIND OF FLIP THAT
SWITCH BACK CAN YOU KNOW MAKE
SURE THAT THEY'RE YOU KNOW ALL
THE TIME WEARING A MASK ALWAYS
SOCIAL DISTANCING THINGS THAT
YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY
THE CDC AND THE GOVERNMENT
RECOMMEND DOING BUT SOMETHING
THAT THE PRESIDENT AT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT NOW
REALLY DIDN'T SPEAK THAT OFTEN
ABOUT AND SO TO NOW HAVE A
PRESIDENT BY AND COMING IN AND
ASKING THESE MEASURES I CAN SEE
DEFINITELY SOME RED-STATE
PUSHED WE HEARD.
>> UNITY, OBVIOUSLY A BIG KEY
OF JOE BIDEN'S SPEECH TODAY AND
WE WILL
WE LOOK BACK AT THE OBAMA YEARS
A LOT OF PROGRESSIVES LISA
WOULD SAY THAT THAT
WAS PAUL OF BARACK OBAMA ISN'T
DOING THAT HE CAPITULATED WAY
TOO MUCH TO TRY TO GET
BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION OF
A PAST WHEN HE DIDN'T REALLY
NEED TO DO AND WHAT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE EARLIER
TODAY, BERNIE SANDERS WAS ASKED
ON ABC THAT
SAME QUESTION AND HE BASICALLY
SAID QUOTE I HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH REACHING OUT TO
REPUBLICANS I PREFER TO DO IT
THAT WAY BUT IF WE HEAR VERY
EARLY THAT REPUBLICANS DON'T
WANT TO ACT IN A WAY THAT MEETS
THE NEEDS THE WORKING PEOPLE,
SORRY WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO
IT ALONE AT WHAT POINT DO YOU.
ENVISION DEMOCRATS SAY
WE'LL WORK WITH REPUBLICANS BUT
LOOK WE'VE GOT MAJORITIES BOTH
CHAMBER AND IF WE DON'T NEED
YOU WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE
>> VERY DELICATE BALANCING
ACT THAT BOTH PRESIDENT BIDEN
AND NOW
INCOMING SAID THE MAJORITY
LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER TRYING TO
STRAKE I MEAN RIGHT NOW
BASICALLY SCHUMER AND GOP
LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL ARE
TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT SOME POWER SHARING
AGREEMENT SAYS WE'RE ABOUT TO
ENTER A 5050 SPLIT SENATE
AND ALREADY WE'RE SEEING
REPUBLICANS TRYING TO GET
PROMISES FROM DEMOCRATS NOT TO
JUST GET RID OF
THE FILIBUSTER WHICH BASICALLY
MEANS THAT
YOU KNOW WE'LL ALWAYS NEED FOR
YOU KNOW MOST LEGISLATION 60
VOTES AND THEREFORE DEMOCRATS
WILL ALWAYS NEED
AT LEAST POTENTIALLY 10 OR MORE
REPUBLICANS TO SIGN THE
LEGISLATION AND THEREFORE
FORCING COMPROMISE AND WORKING
WITH REPUBLICANS AND SO
SCHUMER HAS NOT REALLY WANTED
TO PUT THAT IN EARLY AGREEMENTS
WE THINK IT IS A DEMOCRAT
SHOWING A WILLINGNESS TO SAY
HEY WE'RE TRUE
TIME TO GET BACK TO
BIPARTISANSHIP BUT WE'RE NOT
GOING TO CAPITULATE AND WE'RE
GOING TO TRY TO
AN ACT WHAT BIDEN WAS SAYING IN
HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS, YOU KNOW
BOLDNESS BOLD LEGISLATION THAT
HE'S IN TALKING ABOUT AND THAT
PROGRESS HAS BEEN PUSHING HIM
ON SITE THINK THEY'RE KEENLY
AWARE OF THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO
STRIKE THE BALANCE BUT AT THE
SAME TIME AND YOU KNOW WE'RE
COMING OUT OF A
REALLY SHARP. THIS IS TIME IN
POLITICS AND IN CONGRESS
TONIGHT THINK BIDEN HAS A
STALWART OF THE SENATE REALLY
WANTS TO GET BACK TO THAT.
>> LISA OBVIOUSLY THE OTHER
THING THAT'S HOVERING ABOVE ALL
THIS IS A POTENTIAL IMPEACHMENT
HEARINGS IN THE SENATE
AS WELL. GIVEN THE FACT THAT
JOE BIDEN STILL NEEDS TO GET
HIS CABINET APPROVED HE HAS A
VERY BOLD AMBITIOUS AGENDA WHEN
IT COMES TO GETTING ONE 0.9
TRILLION DOLLARS PASS FOR
CORONAVIRUS RELIEF.
HOW DO YOU SORT OF SEE THE
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS PLAYING
OUT WHEN DO YOU THINK NANCY
PELOSI WILL GET THAT PAPERWORK
TO THAT SENATE TO START
THE TRIAL AND IS THERE A
CONCERN HERE THAT THIS
POTENTIALLY BRINGS TRUMP BACK
INTO THE FRAY. WE TALK ABOUT
HIM AGAIN AND IT POTENTIALLY
DERAILS THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF
JOE BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE REALLY
HAVEN'T GOTTEN INDICATION YET
OF WENDELL KRATZ IN THE HOUSE
WILL SEND
OVER THAT SINGLE ARTICLE OF
IMPEACHMENT WHICH IS NEEDED TO
FORMALLY TRIGGER A TRIAL IN THE
SENATE
AND SO WE'RE WAITING ON SPEAKER
NANCY PELOSI TO BASICALLY
GIVE THEM WORD OF WHEN CHILLED
TRANSMIT THAT I MEAN IT COULD
COME AS EARLY
AS TOMORROW THAT MEANS THAT YOU
KNOW THAT MEANS YOU GET THE
BALL ROLLING THAT MEANS THE
SENATE WILL BE HIDE EVERY
AFTERNOON EXCEPT FOR SUNDAY'S
GOING FORWARD WITH COMPLETING
THAT TRIAL WHICH IS TAKEN
ANYWHERE FROM SEVERAL WEEKS TO
SEVERAL MONTHS BASED ON THE
EL PASO.
>> IT WILL BE REALLY
INTERESTING
TO SEE NOW THE SENATE NAVIGATES
THIS TRYING TO CONFIRM US
ESPECIALLY THOSE KEY CABINET
APPOINTMENTS. PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN AND ALSO GETTING THROUGH
WHAT SEEMS LIKE ITS BIGGEST
PUSH RIGHT NOW LEGISLATIVELY
WHICH IS COVID RELIEF
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
SEE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO BALANCE WELL AND AS OF
