president biden maintaining a breakneck pace of signing executive orders and actions in his first 10 days in office but his first full week in office showed some early signs of cracks in the administration's armor both foreign and domestic white house correspondent kevin cork is tracking it all for us tonight good evening kevin good evening shannon quite a first week for the new biden administration much of it as you know spent using executive orders to undo the previous administration's policies and taking off just a few of those campaign promises in the process but some policies actually prove to be much more controversial than others one after another after another a veritable blizzard of executive orders and directives for the new administration combined 40 and all but whether it's halting drilling on federal lands stopping the keystone xl pipeline or ending construction on the border wall critics charge the one thing this administration has done plenty of in 10 days is kill jobs a save the planet posture spearheaded by a man whose family's private jet over the past year has emitted as much carbon as around 36 typical passenger cars would critics also blasted the 78-year-old president who insisted on the campaign trail that he'd have a plan to tackle the virus on day one for not actually having one witness this admission after just a few days on the job there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months mr biden later tried to clear up that gaffe but trying to be extra careful to avoid gaffs at the white house press shop well that's taken on a whole new meaning i don't have anything new for you on that and we'll circle back with you directly i can circle back i'll circle back with you now whether that's a tick a lack of preparedness or an intentional lack of specificity which would later have to be defended the lack of clear answers are growing frustration for many as are the administration's increasingly curious diplomatic decisions from suspending the sale of military goods to u.s mideast partners to the administration's relatively muted response to recent provocations by beijing toward taiwan to its ban on travel to the u.s from the uk ireland and 26 other eurozone countries as well as brazil and south africa over covet concerns and speaking of covid flame shifting for failures with distribution and availability has begun to wear thin on many including those on the left especially with tens of millions of americans out of work countless businesses on the brink and a 1.9 trillion dollar relief plan that's anything but a sure bet yeah that is absolutely right now backers would certainly push back and they would argue shannon that the new white house was being aggressive in the use of those executive orders because it wanted to gain momentum where it could while longer harder fights over things like the stimulus played out over on capitol hill however as the new york times writes in an op-ed quote these directives however are a flawed substitute for legislation they are intended to provide guidance to government not meant to serve as an end run around the will of congress which means we should expect probably fewer eos if you believe the times in the months ahead janet well every president knows they're only as good as until the next president shows up and whether they agree on these things easily done and easily undone that's right kevin thank you you bet the fbi said
