one of these books that came out, and phil rucker s book i alone can fix it is absolutely fabulous. i m looking forward to reading peril. to some extent however they re almost unneeded. all they do is give granularity, context, richness of the obscenities being uttered in the oval office, mostly being acted out in public, was a president trying to overthrow the election of mr. biden and who was on the edge of using the elements of coercive power of the u.s. government to enforce it. acting secretary of defense, retired lieutenant colonel, acting homeland security, about to fire the cia director. if we were looking at a third world country we would have said this guy s going to conduct a coup against the constitution. standing in the way, the
politically. how are they navigating that? right. people who probably didn t even listen to the president that day, and they said so that was part of jen psaki s argument today, that the white house recognizes there s a part of the country that won t follow president biden s advice because they don t think he was legitimately elected based on the conspiracy theories of donald trump and others. so it is important to have others tout the vaccine, maybe they would have more resonance. you heard from the president when he rolled out the vaccine mandates, and it reiterates something he said today. i was in the speech that he gave related to the economic agenda. he said, look, we have the vaccines, it is our way out. those not vaccinated are endangering themselves and loved ones but all of us, too. potentially giving fuel to new variants, threatening all of us and our health and that you could tell that anger really came through there. they re doing whatever they can
that s, of course, what president biden said earlier this week and the white house press secretary jen psaki, all leaving no doubt that miley is going to stay in this job and he s not going to be forced out, certainly not by the democratic administration. but i think we can anticipate that the pentagon will cooperate with this investigation of january 6th, and it is safe to assume a great deal of the questioning for general milley when he comes before the congress to talk about afghanistan will be about president trump, about his fears for a coup, about his belief that the president in his final months in office was unstable, erratic and dangerous to the country. not to be a spoiler here, but general mccaffrey, the president in his final months was unstable, dangerous and manic. we all saw it. we saw it on tv. we heard it in his call-in interviews where it appeared he couldn t get out of his pa jam au. he was phoning in and saying crazy things, even in the views of his own allies in
did president biden legitimately win enough votes for the presidency? almost 80% of republicans say no. so to chris point, 80% of all republicans believe the same thing as the people who threaten us. they re not all a threat but everyone who is a threat believes donald trump is the real president. how do you monitor and they re domestic threats so you obviously are more restricted than with monitoring others but how do you monitor 78% of one of the two political parties in the country to make sure you don t miss someone who has been radicalized while being goosed and encouraged by donald trump? i think you start, nicolle, with calling it what it is. we don t call domestic terrorism terrorism. it s not classified as such by the justice department. we re just relying on third-party groups out there and
that shows our current vaccines hold up well against severe covid, but pfizer s third shot can still increase immunity six months after the second dose with no serious safety concerns. it comes as the biden administration has been ironing out its plan in hopes of offering boosters to all americans starting next week as part of its tackling of the highly contagious delta variant. joining us, jonathan lemire, msnbc contributor, and dr. jha. i get more information on stories that break, and i have seen what you have written about the boosters. i wonder if you can share it with our viewers. i think people are confused. thank you for having me back, nicolle. it is confusing and the messaging has not been as clear as it should be. i would say a few things. first of all, our vaccines are
