Throughout the next two hours, you dont want to miss it. We begin with a stark contrast how President Biden and President Trump are marking 9 11. Not long from now biden is scheduled to make highways to the pentagon after visiting both Ground Zero and shanksville, pennsylvania, to honor the lives lost that harrowing day. Meanwhile, former President Trump who is set to offer commentary at a Boxing Match this evening used the majority of his address marking the anniversary to bash biden over his withdrawal from afghanistan. This is the 20th year of this war and should have been a year of Victory And Honor and strength. Instead, Joe Biden and his inept administration surrendered in defeat. The former president did make a trip to the nypds 17th Precinct hours ago to honor the sacrifice made by the citys first responders but took time to criticize the president once again over the withdrawal. I want to bring in nbcs Mike Memoli who has been with us all day and is at the White House for us n
Unveiled by the White House yesterday. President bidens strongest push yet to contain the coronavirus pandemic. My message to Unvaccinated Americans is this. What more is there to wait for . What more do you need to see . Weve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin and your refusal has cost all of us. So please do the right thing. The president s goal here, to get the pandemic under control. And now some 100 Million americans are under aggressive new vaccination rules. So here are the facts. Federal employees and contractors to the federal government must now get a covid shot as well as all Health Care workers in settings with Medicaid Or Medicare reimbursements. And finally, all private companies with more than 100 employees will have to mandate vaccinations themselves or as an alternative, weekly testing. These mandates certain to be the subject of legal challenges. Question as to whether they will work. Some republican governors are criticizing the president. The largest uni
Rights act into law that had been filibustered by segregationists for 54 straight days. But in The End their efforts to stop it failed. Lbj signed it. The civil Rights Act of 1964, of course, banned segregation in public facilities. Also in private facilities to which the public had access. The segregationists at the time screamed bloody murder. Its unconstitutional. You cant tell private entities what to do. Actually, yes, yes you can. In the summer of 1964, President Johnson made that law of the land. Then the following summer, July 1965, lbj actually went out On The Road this time for an unusual signing ceremony. He went to missouri to president Trumans President Ial Library to sign into law the bill that created Medicare And Medicaid. He went to Trumans Library because it was truman who proposed the u. S. Government should commit to providing Health Coverage to all the elderly peep in the country. Truman couldnt get it done, but in 1965, lbj got it done. He signed the bill creating
On it. What are they going to propose today. I think the way to think of this speech, in response to changing dire conditions that you mentioned, theyre sliding along that continuum that starts with encouragement and ends with requirement a little bit closer to requirement. It was easy in the beginning, when people were flocking to pharmacies to get those vaccines. Now youve got a hard core of reluctant, resistance, some political some superstitious, some based on disinformation and theyre trying to get over that. So for example, requirements, hard requirements for federal employees and contractors of the federal government to get vaccinated as opposed to opting out by getting testing. Vaccination is by far, i think sanjay will affirm this when you talk to him in a moment, is far and away the most important thing that could be done. There is le additional steps is it the plan, encouraging masking and encouraging testing, Health Care steps for people to deal with covid who already have
Everything swirls and which never can be spoken of. Yes, exactly. Well done, my friend and well put. Thank you very much. Thanks to you at home for joining us. Thanks for being here. The Washington Field Office of the Fbi Today released new footage. This new footage showing the person who they believe placed Pipe Bombs, real bombs, operational explosive devices at the headquarters of the Democratic Party and the headquarters of the Republican Party in washington, d. C. The night before the January 6th attack on the u. S. Capital. Again, this is new footage. The fbi says this was shot quite near the Dnc Headquarters where the first bomb is placed. Not much happens in the footage, except you get a long look of the person in question. They wander in, sits down on that bench, appears to look at their phone for a while maybe and eventually they move on again. This new footage released by the Fbi Today is of course in addition to the other footage of the same suspected bomber that has previo
