jim, that he gets frazzled by the challenges. i fully expect that we re going to hear the president urge every american to get a vaccination, that that is going to be the way to stem this surge that we are seeing with the delta variant across the country. and, as you noted on infrastructure, i don t think you re going to hear the sound of a president who thinks his bipartisan effort is dead despite the vote that took place in the senate today. it sounds like the white house is reading hopeful signs from what republican senators are saying in hopes of getting a deal done by early next week. it sounds like that may still be on track. you re right, david chalian. thank you so much to all of you. and a reminder to our viewers we re closing in on cnn s exclusive town hall with president biden tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern. cnn s don lemon will moderate. coming up, will americans need to mask up now that the delta variant is driving a huge surge in new covid cases? and later we re getti
so, now speaker pelosi is doing the next best thing, which is putting together a committee of responsible, serious people who will approach the task well. i think representative cheney is a great addition to that committee. i don t blame her for excluding representatives banks and jordan today. it seems those two were, you know, intent on obstructing the progress and the investigation rather than assisting it and trying to get to the bottom of this. so i think she s doing the right thing. all right, andrew mccabe, thank you so much. stay with us. we re keeping an eye on preparations for ton the s exclusive town hall with president biden. also ahead, the joint chiefs chairman has asked about revelations he was concerned then president trump might be planning a coup. at morgan stanley, a global collective of thought leaders offers investors a broader view. we see companies protecting the bottom line by putting people first.
someone hits a big dive, but also it gives off less pressure to a lot of the athletes. a group of us attended one of the soccer games yesterday, and the mood described as absolutely bizarre. basically the journalists were the only ones there. nobody in the stands. and we know that around us in japan, the case numbers are exploding to some of their highest levels since january. so there are big questions about the safety of athletes, at least five team usa athletes now forced out of the summer olympics due to covid. and the opening ceremonies haven t even begun. and we don t even know what they re going to look like because all those details are being kept secret. will ripley, thank you so much. we re keeping an eye on preparations for tonight s exclusive cnn town hall with president biden. we ll also look at what s ahead for the house committee investigating the january 6th attack with all the political turmoil, can it reach any useful
former republican senator. right. does congress need to respond with more guardrails around the presidency, do you think? is this something that should be taken seriously? just how close, as you were just saying former president trump came to politicize the military and trying to use the military to suppress protests and all of these other sorts of things that would have been constitutional violations. well, i think there s enough that we should do to try to make sure we don t get another president like president trump. it was known from the beginning who he was, what his character was, what his temperament was or lack thereof. so the american people have to look more carefully at the power that we entrust to the president of the united states. it s the most powerful position in our government, maybe the world. but to put a person in that position with potentially his finger on a nuclear weapon or any other type of weapon i think calls into question the judgment of the american
yeah, jim. we at cnn had actually reported that this was going to be a gop strategy moving forward into the committee even before kevin mccarthy decided to pull all of his picks off of the panel. that they are really going to try to shift the blame from the former president s aides to the house speaker. of course, that is pretty nonsensical because this was a failure across the board of the previous administration. the president, former president is the one who got his supporters to come to the capitol who incited arguably this violence and who riled people up to the extent that they felt like they were actually defending donald trump by being there. and of course the senate report that was issued last month made clear that there were a number of security and intelligence failures that contributed to the violence and the chaos on january 6th. but nowhere in that report was nancy pelosi faulted. this was really placed at the heels of the former administration of capitol police, and th
