political landscape. a landscape in which the former president has developed a cold like following that was willing to storm the u.s. capitol in order to demonstrate its loyalty. one in which a major political party, the gop, is still reluctant to condemn that following it despite the clear risk it poses to our democracy. there have been few times that a president or presidential candidate has been bold enough to outright condemn a segment of the electorate. obama in 2008 call that some republican working class voters for voting against their own self interests and it s the clinging to quote guns and religion, and of course that was a private event. still, those comments, as you may recall, prompted immediate backlash. hillary clinton in 2016 said half of trump s followers belonged in a quote basket of the portals. her comments were really against her for the rest of her presidential campaign. and now, joe biden 2022 says trump and his supporters of maga republicans threaten
louisiana. it goes into the gulf. and we need to help jackson fix this, it goes way beyond the people to include the mayor and the governor, but it s on their watch to fix it and they need to hold the federal government responsible for helping the with grants and loans to protect it either rope relocate those two facilities. they re having irreparable impact on the quality of life of people in jackson. i do think fema will provide enough water to keep people safe in the next few days. lieutenant general russell on, right thank you. coming up, the cdc and fda have cleared the way for the latest redesign of the covid shot. i will ask a medical experts who should get this booster in one. next. next

you about $32 to get clean water that is sustainable, that s treated properly, and as a professional staff, that the pipes are replaced when they need to, and that water is safe. well they re paying $20. you get what you pay for. unfortunately, a lot of the people in jackson that uses this are poor people. that s why the epa had programs that the jackson water systems can apply for the epa for grants and low level loans to replace the entire water systems. for over a decade, that is not happened julian, and so i hope that this incident, and i m gonna go jackson tomorrow, and spend some time on the ground and try to make contact with the mayor, that they need to ask the federal government for the resources to replace as well as to protect the water system in the sewage system, because when the sewage system overflows, it goes into the pearl river and that ends up in
