Washington Today (1-5-24): President Biden on Donald Trump & Jan 6 attack: 'We nearly lost America'

President Joe Biden makes his first, big reelection campaign speech of the new year, on the themes of freedom and threats to democracy. He spoke near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where Gen. Washington camped through the winter during the Revolutionary War, on day before the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. We will hear from President Biden, plus Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in Iowa campaigning for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and republican candidate Nikki Haley in New Hampshire. And we talk about C-SPAN's comprehensive Campaign 2024 website with C-SPAN's Vice President Peter Kiley. (16) Jobs report for December: U.S. added 216,000 jobs and the unemployment rate stays at 3.7%. White House Budget Director Shalanda Young talks about the chances of a partial federal government shutdown in two weeks. And she and House Republicans spar over which side has the better record on border security. Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks about combatting violent crime, including what he says is a "disturbing spike" in violence against public servants such as FBI agents, judges, presidential candidates, members of Congress, the military, and election workers. He says, "These threats of violence are unacceptable. They threaten the fabric of our democracy."
