♪ ♪ >> Brian: 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON, PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL HOLD HIS FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE IN A LONG TIME FOLLOWING MONTHS OF DODGING THE PRESS LIKE THIS: >> MAY GOD PROTECT OUR TROOPS. THANKS, FOLKS, VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. I WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO TALK LATER. >> [OVERLAPPING VOICES] YOU WON'T ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS, SIR. [OVERLAPPING VOICES] >> Brian: TODAY, HE CAN'T DO THAT AS TOMORROW MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE INAUGURATION. THE RECENT POLLS SHOW APPROVAL RATING AT A BIZ MALL 33. HERE WITH REACTION FROM AMERICA'S NEWS ROOM COMPANY ANCHOR AND THE COHOST OF "THE FIVE" DANA PERINO. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> Brian: YOU KNOW, IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU AS WELL. THE POLL NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE RIGHT NOW AND OLD EXPRESSION GOES WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF AT THE BOTTOM OF A HOLE STOP DIGGING. HOW WILL THEY DIG OUT OF THIS? >> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO, ESPECIALLY TO PEG THIS PRESS CONFERENCE TO THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, IS I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO ANNOUNCE BECAUSE THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, THEY'VE HAD A PRETTY TOUGH GO WITH IT. COVID, THE SUPPLY CHAIN COME ECONOMY AND INFLATION CONTINUES TO ENSUE ON PEOPLE'S BUDGET. AND DESPITE SOME ATTEMPTS, RIGHT COMMIT RELEASE OIL, THE GAS PRICES ARE DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT ENOUGH. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SEE IN THE POLLS, STEVE, PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE THE WHITE HOUSE HAS FOCUSED ON THE THINGS THAT THEY CARE ABOUT. THE PRESIDENT HAS CHOSEN TO CHOOSE FIGHTS HE CANNOT WIN. WAGING BATTLES HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CURE. ONE OF THOSE IS UNFILLED FACT BETTER AND VOTING RIGHTS. I THINK YOU WILL SEE A CHANCE FOR HIM TO SAY, "LOOK MY HAD A LOT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN MY FIRST YEAR, BUT I DIDN'T DO A GOOD ENOUGH JOB SELLING THEM." HE WILL TRY TO DO THAT TODAY. HE WILL TRY TO TAKE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS. THERE IS A LOT OF PENT-UP DEMAND FROM THE REPORTERS, AND HE HAS STARTING TO SEE EVEN FROM THE MEDIA, LOOKING AT HIS PRESIDENCY AND STARTING TO QUESTION THE COMPETENCY OF THE ADMINISTRATION. THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND CAN READ AS WELL AS ANYBODY ELSE. AND NOW THE ISSUE OF CRIME. WE COVERED IT EXTENSIVELY AND NOW ENDING UP LEAVING THE OTHER MORNING NEWSCASTS AS WELL. >> Steve: YOU KNOW, HE WAS ELECTED BY SAYING DONALD TRUMP SCREWED UP COVID, I'M GOING TO DO A BETTER JOB, YOU KNOW, FAST-FORWARD A YEAR, WE ARE STILL IN THE GRIPS OF THIS THING. AND THEN YOU HAVE INFLATION. YOU KNOW, HE WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN FROM HIS NEIGHBOR IN THE SUNROOM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT HAMBURGER IS $6 A POUND. HE HAS NO IDEA HOW IT IS AFFECTING THE AVERAGE AMERICAN. OUR LEAD STORY YESTERDAY AS WELL. BUT THE PROBLEM IS WHEN HE ASKED ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT, IT IS NEVER HIM. DON'T BLAME HIM. IT IS NOT MY FAULT. BLAME TRUMP, BLAME CONGRESS, BLAME EVERYBODY EXCEPT HIM. >> IT WOULD BE THE IDEA WHEN HE WILL SAY, I'D DON'T SELL MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND APPEARED YOU HEAR US TILL NANCY PELOSI AND THE ANNUAL REVIEW WHEN THEY GO IN FOR AN INTERVIEW FOR A JOB AND THEY SAY, WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS AND THEY WILL SAY, WELL, JUST CARE TOO MUCH." ACTUALLY, THERE ARE SOME WEAKNESSES THAT WE NEED TO DEAL WITH. I THINK THE POLLS ARE IN A TRAJECTORY YOU CAN IMAGINE THERE WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE EITHER IN POLICY OR IN PERSONNEL HERE THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED TODAY, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE THE SENATE AND CHANGE UP THE FILIBUSTER. THEN IT WILL BE TIME FOR A RESET. MAYBE THEY BREAK UP -- THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT AND BREAK THAT UP TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET THE SMALLER PIECES THROUGH. RIGHT NOW, THAT IS HARD TO IMAGINE. BUT HE IS LOOKING AT THE LOSSES. LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING, IF HE LOSES THE MAJORITY, HIS VERY SLIM MAJORITY IN THE MID TERMS, THAT MIGHT BE QUITE LIBERATING FOR THE PRESIDENT, RIGHT? UP TO NOW HE HAS ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE DEFINED BY THE LEFT, PLACATED BY THE LEFT, BUT IF THEY LOSE THEIR MAJORITY, THEY WILL HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE. BEFORE, BUT WE HAVE HEARD FROM REPUBLICANS ALREADY IF THEY WIN THE MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE, THEY WILL START LAUNCHING ALL SORTS F INVESTIGATIONS INTO COVID AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. SO DANA COMING UP IN 22 MINUTES, YOU AND BILL HEMMER WILL TAKE OVER FROM THE WORLD HEADQUARTERS. >> YOU KNOW WHO WE WILL GET TO TALK TO? >> OUR VERY OWN PETER DOOCY, WE WILL HAVE AN UPDATE ON CRIME. TREY GOWDY WILL JOIN US ON THE BIG PICTURE AND THEN SENATOR BECK FROM UKRAINE MET WITH THE PRESIDENT AND WILL BE MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT THIS
