cylinders, my friend. thank you very much. i appreciate it. thank you for joining us at home. happy to have you here. tomorrow democrats in washington will be wearing their sunday best. it is a really big landmark day for them at 9:00 a.m. they ll start the home stretch final debate to pass the american rescue plan. a big covid relief bill that is the first thing the biden administration and the democrats in congress put their shoulders to when they got sworn in just two months ago. and you know, time will tell how this legislation is viewed over the long haul. but just at face value, it is more wide reaching progressive legislation than anything past, anything passed at least the last two democratic presidents. legislatively in terms of its progressive reach, in terms of its reach to make things better for people who need the most help. it is definitely on par with the affordable care act, with obamacare. but this bill, what the senate passed this weekend, what the house
you know, donald trump is 74 years old and my theory is he is going to be a defendant for the rest of his life. there are civil lawsuits out there now. there will be appeals, and there is eric swalwell, and that lawsuit is available to hundreds of members of congress who could each individually file one of those lawsuits against donald trump. there could be no end. the when benny thompson filed the first civil lawsuit against trump, and eric swalwell filed a different one what i thought was going to happen, is benny thompson would go first, and other members of the congress would decide they wanted to join in. i didn t realize, if anyone had slightly different approaches to the same problem, it could be a parade that lasts until the end of his life. i spend the day studying eric swalwell s lawsuit. we are going to be juned by the harvard constitutional law. fp he tells us this is a real lawsuit and it won t be dismissed. it will get to a jury. it will get to a washingto
legislation than anything passed anything passed at least the last two democratic presidents. legislatively in terms of its progressive reach, in terms of its reach to make things better for people who need the most help. it is definitely on par with the affordable care act, with obamacare. but this bill, what the senate passed this weekend, what the house will pass tomorrow, what president biden is about to sign, will hit a wider target than the affordable care act ever aimed at. as huge an accomplishment as that was to reform the absolutely broke and broken u.s. health care system to try to improve it in a fundamental way, this bill is bigger. it is aiming at more. it will strike what is hoped to be a decisive blow against the pandemic in terms of funding a coherent technocratically skilled national response. everything from testing to the vaccine rollout. we are in the middle of the largest vaccine rollout in the history of the country. this is how we re going to fund it
eric swalwell filed a different one, what i thought was going to happen, is benny thompson would go first, and other members of the congress would decide they would join in. it could become a larger class. i didn t realize, if anyone had slightly different approaches to the same problem, it could be a parade that lasts until the end of his life. i ve spent the day studying eric swalwell s lawsuit. we are going to be joined by the harvard constitutional law professor, laurence tribe. if he tells us this is a real lawsuit and it won t be dismissed, it will get to a jury. it will get to a washington, d.c., jury. then that indicates it s going to be many, many, many more. yeah, and well, i know he has been thinking about it and writing about it. i just read his piece. i can t wait for you to talk to him. we will do that. thank you. and one of the things to watch now is who will be the first criminally charged attacker of the capitol who turns on donald trump and fires a
$14 billion for vaccine distribution, and expanse of the child tax credit that experts say could cut child poverty in half. and the $1400 direct stimulus checks. a promise that won back the senate for the democrats. he will address the public in the next hour no doubt to champion the success of the deal. he will announce another big deal for 100 million additional new doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine. enough to vaccinate roughly one in three americans. an advisor credited a historic partnership between johnson and johnson and murk. today they will direct jeff and the health and human services to procure an additional 100 million doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine. this order allows for the president to u plan for the future and the latter part of the year. this is wartime. and as facts still emerge, it gives us maximum flexibility for our upcoming needs. we lead a histoic partnership between two rival drug companies to scale manufacturing and speed delivery.
