Death toll from September 11th, 3,103 people in this country died yesterday. The gut punch comes when you realize that Many Americans have almost gotten used to Reading Numbers like that. Actually, four days in the past week have ranked among the deadliest days in this countrys history, ever. The pearl harbor attacks that killed 2,400 people will forever be remembered and described as a day that will live in infamy, as proclaimed by fdr, and in the aftermath of September 11th, president george w. Bush asked for prayers for all of those who grieve for the children whose worlds were shattered that day. Yet today, 3,000 families wake up wondering what life looks like now, today, without their loved one beside them. And we wait for the president or really anyone to acknowledge the somber occasion in any way. No reference to the death toll or to the virus, for that matter, on Donald Trumps twitter field. Instead, tweet after tweet after tweet about the election he lost in the most secure el

Let me ask you something you do have oversight of as president. Should former President Trump still receive Intelligence Briefings . I think not. Why not . Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection. Youve called him an existential threat, youre called him dangerous, youve ca
We have learned from past crises, the risk is not doing too much, the risk is not doing enough. We heard from the president there just moments after the latest briefing from his new Covid Health Care team. The encouraging news from that briefing is there is a third vaccine now on the horizon. Dr. Anthony fauci says the data on this Johnson Johnson single dose vaccine is encouraging. Dr. Fauci says americans should not be skeptical of a reported 56 effective rate. Getting shots in arms is taking on even greater urgency now because of the growing number of variants or mutations. Dr. Fauci says it will require onthefly adjustments to keep up with the new mutations. The briefings are Night And Day from the previous administration. Science dominates. This was interesting, too. A clear effort by the Democratic White House to include republican governors as it prays states that are doing a better job of getting vaccines off the shelf and into their residents. I want to call out seven states t
Authorization for Emergency Use. That means options when it comes to vaccinations. Thats good. At the same time, republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene is holding her own News Conference one day after she was kicked off her Committee Assignments for supporting over years violent rhetoric, dangerous disinformation. We begin with the economic news. Christine romans, 49,000 or so new jobs. Yesterday we had nearly 800,000 new unemployment claims. Do the math for us there.

You had 14. 8 Million People who told the government this month that they didnt have a job to go back to. The business they worked for was closed or was barely open but not allowed to give them hours. And a quarter of the people working say theyre working from home. The virus has completely changed what is usually a dynamic labor force. This 49,000 jobs created was mostly in professional business services, going back to

How much of a threat does it pose . Fawaz gerges will join me. Finally, from cars to milk to housing and more, we are paying more than we were a year ago for so many items. Inflation is to blame for certain, but just how bad is it . I will do a deep dive that might surprise you. But first, here is my take. Its a tale of two olympics. Remember the 2008 beijing games . China was dazzling the world with its economic prowess and technological sophistication, determined to impress the world with its soft power. Praise filled the headlines in countries like australia, the United Kingdom and the u. S. The Sydney Morning Herald said that the Opening Ceremony was a perfect ten. Londons Evening Standard described the event as the beginning of chinas new era of greatness, witnessed and implicitly approved by much of the leadership
