Hard times make strong people, lets see what these times will do to us. Thank you for watching the big show with cnn tonight with the big star, d. Lemon. What will it do for people who lead the country, the people who Scream At Kids who just survived followed the kids who was terrorized by firearms in his opinion and keeps telling him she has a gun and the same woman whos doing that with qanon and the idea of killing lawmakers is okay. I dont understand that. I dont understand how people like that become leaders and if they do, are they respected . Thats my whole thing. Even if you believe what you should believe, you should be following a kid and yelling at him. Smerconish and i were debating this on the show a little bit. Hey, the Republican Party is doing everything you say it does. My point is who gives a damn if whats working for them. They are promoting chaos and confrontation. They believe this is the next step in motivating fear among white people and this is where you go to the angriest of the angry and the loonies t of the looney. I dont know why the democrats want to work with these guys right now. You have been saying what i have been saying. Look at that when i say we, i am going to say unite with who, meaning the american people. I dont mean republicans or democrats. The people dont want to take the capitol. Everyone is talking about unite and come together. Unite with who . People who do things that we just talked about and people who dont believe reality and people who want insurrection of the capitol. Why . Who would want to do that . Did you say you want to fight or you say youre exactly right . This is my last night. It will never get any better than this. We used to joke about it. I know you said thats what journalists supposed to do. There is both sides to everything, right . Right. You have to take a stance on the truth and reality and hypo hypocrisy. If people are being Hypocrite Cal and if they are living a lie when theyre in charge of the american people, ledgislating. This is about the truth. There is one side right now. N not everybody is on that side and a big part of whos not living on reality. Thats the god honest truth. Who wants to over turn an election and cant believe and still saying joe biden is not the dually elected president in this country. Thats some messed up you know what. Who would want to work with that . How do you reason with that . I dont know. I dont know either. The tea party, you got Mccarthy On Captain Chaos and mcconnell. You are still in my open. The signs could not be more obvious. How many red flags do you need and they want to power Share Agreement . I got to get after it now. I love you don. I will see you soon, you have a great evening. I am 225 pounds of of blubber. Boy, i got to calm down because this stuff is making me crazy. I hate to see stuff like that. That video of her filing that. It is really upsetting to me. There is a right time to do things and there is a wrong time to do things. This is cnn tonight, i am don lemon. You know what we saw today . We saw something we have not seen for a long time from the white house. A president , i should say a president and administration refusing to be Sidetracked By The Circus Side Show of the drama of the last four years. Just refusing. Our David Chalian is coming on, i have a question for him. Maybe joe biden is better than this than people is giving him credit for. Nothing is stopping him and hes just doing his thing and not even looking at the signs. Hes going out there everyday. Speaking the country and pushing ahead and visit his agenda and you can debate on policies like the good old days we used to do that. If you see him and if you see jen psaki at the podium. They let everyone asks questions. Thats how it is done. Boy, what a difference when you dont call people enemy of the people. You let them ask their questions, you answer it respectfully. Imagine that. Adults in the room. Hes doing the job that he was elected to do. You may not like that he is elected as a democratic to legislate as a democrat but thats what hes elected to do. How long have we heard a president say this . Finally with our fight of covid19, well listen to the signs and protect the integrity of our federal response to the Climate Crisis. Wow. Listening to the science. Wait, you dont know more than the scientists or the general . Listen to the science and responding to covid19 and the Climate Crisis. Compare that to a Republican Party, refusing to face facts about one of the darkest moments in american history, the Capitol Insurrection and the big lie that started all of this, the former president s attempt to steal an election that he lost to joe biden. He lost. Fair and square, look at that. Must we forget . They cant sweep the insurrection under the rug. Homeland security issuing a Threat Bulletin Warning for more violence from extremists emboldened by what they see of the success of the attack just three weeks ago. The fact is if no one is held accountable on a big picture level, the former president or Congress People supported his big lies and fox news and the big media. Why would they see it that way . There are no consequences. Every single one of them voted against holding the former president accountable. Now they have the nerve to put out empty calls for unity . Okay. What about not trying to take the post away from millions and millions of americans especially the ones who are african africanamericans the election was fair and square. Who are we supposed to unify with . Thats the central question. Think about that. Who are we supposed to unify with . Think about that. The republicans who supported and enabled all of this and now wont hold Anyone Accountable . Impeachment is for removal from officer, the accused is already left office. Democrats are about to drag our great country down into the gutter of vitriol. Republicans who say it was a waste of time to hold Anyone Accountable for one of the most, one of the worst moments in our history . President trump is a private citizen, why would you spend your time on this . You know thats b. S. You know it is b. S. , hes a private season . Oh, All Of A Sudden hes a private citizen. Was it when he start up that mob . He was the president of the United States at the time. Republicans who thinks, who are we supposed to unify with . Republicans who think trump has been punished enough . Well, it used to be that when you lost an election, that was punishment enough. Huh . Who with resu who are we supp to unify with . Mit romney voted to hold the president accountable. Hes not fooled by any of this. He has a message to claim impeachment. Have you gone out publicly and said there is not widespread voter fraud and joe biden is the legitimate president of the United States. Have you done that . If you said that then i am happy to listen to you talk about other things that may in flame anger and divide, if you have not said that then thats really whats at the source of the anger right now. Thank you, mit romney. Did you hear that . Who are we supposed to unify with . The person that chris and i just talked about who followed the kid down the street . Right after he survived the School Miassacre . Marjorie taylor green . The qanon h who supported th big lie . We are not going to let this election stolen by joe biden. President trump won by a landslide. Marjorie taylor green, Marjorie Taylor greene, executing democratic before being elected to congress. Is Marjorie Taylor greene the kind of republican that we are supposed to unify with . Come on now. Lets be truthful about this. Because imagine if Marjorie Taylor greene or folks like her or any of them. Kevin mccarthy, average if they were democrats, what republicans would be saying right now. Most House Republicans are keeping quiet about Marjorie Taylor greene but Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy Exp Spokesperson says he plans to have a conversation with her. Wow. A conversation. Let me just remind you that steve king lost his Committee Assignment in 2019 over his repeated racist comment but Marjorie Taylor greene gets a conversation . Thats almost i mean thats like being very concerned like susan collins, i am very concerned strongly. Whats next . Are they going to write her as a strongly written note . This is a u. S. Congresswoman who got Campaign Money from qanon believer. Romney mcdaniels tells the ap, qanon is quote, dangerous. It is pretty clear, republicans care more about party unity than they do about american unity. Kevin mccarthy headed to florida to meet with trump and kiss the ring. He says the former president bears the responsibility for the mob attack. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he sauce what was unfolding. Sources telling cnn that mccarthy is trying to get back to the former president s good graces. Okay. Okay, get back to the good graces of the guy who lost and refused to admit it, whos been impeached twice and left the white house in disgrace and presided the loss. All right, that makes sense, Kevin Mccarthy. Kiss the ring of the disgraced king without a throne and when he was emperor, refused to tell him. I remember when Lindsey Graham tweeted, if we nominate trump, well get trdestroyed and well get deserved it. Remember that. In the face of all that, President Biden and his administration is staying above the drama. Jen psaki refused to talk about Marjorie Taylor greene. Did the white house have a comment on this profile that have emerged of representative Marjorie Taylor greene and is there a response to whether any disciplinary action should be taken against her . We dont and i am not going to speak further about her in this briefing room. That was classy shade. Nope and i am done talking about her. Next. She did it a lot. Whatever. No, nothing to say, move along. Staying above the drama. The secretary of state, anthony blinken, tony blinken from the pro pro Previous Administration saying the press holds them accountable and makes them better. That really does make us better. More broadly and it is never more important to restate that a free press is a corner stone of our democracy and this is a critical moment for protecting and defending democracy, including right here at home. Wow. Night and day, huh . You would not hear anything like that from the prooevious administration which treated the press as the enemy of the people. You sure would have seen the previous issuing a memorandum, it is a policy of my administration to make evidencebased decisions guided by the best science and data. Wow. Like i said, we have not heard that for a long, long time. Ptd President Biden going out there everyday pushing ahead with his agenda and nominees and doing the job he was elected to do. We have already waited too long to deal with this Climate Crisis. We cant wait any longer. We see it with our own eyes. We feel it and we know it in our bones. It is time to act. A job President Biden elected to do more urgent every single day.

Kevin mccarthy is planning to visit tomorrow to the former president in florida which shows you how much the gop is still firmly in trumps grip. Hes the president who lost and impeached twice and left the white house in disgrace. Republicans are still the party of trump. I want to bring in mr. David chalian and gloria berges. I am so excited to get you guys. Where have you been in my life . David, i want to ask you now. David, biden is not bothered by the gop drama. Maybe hes going to keep on with the work of being a president. Maybe he understands this whole game if you want to call it that better than people realize because hes not letting any of the drama or side show affect him at all. When you are calling the drama and side show is sort of the center ring in that drama is republicans eating their own. We see our colleague Manu Raju Reporting where Kevin M Mccarthy saying knock it off. There is no reason for joe biden to get involved in that. He does not need to comment on the back and forth of his predecessor and how much control he has over the Republican Party. It is a lot of control. You are right to note how hes been kuking himself which is stay focus each day on the message hes trying to pursue. When your opponent is kind of caught up in their own drama, One Of The Best things you can do is let them continue to do that. Gloria, it is interesting to hear all the concerns from the other side. The former president did a lot of Executive Orders. Now joe biden followed up on what he was saying with those Executive Orders and joe biden is doing the same thing and there is placomplaints from the opposite party . Should they be surprised and governing like a democrat when thats what he was elected to do . You cant go back and forth in between Administration Like this. You have to get some of this cod fied and put into law. Joe biden himself is not a big fan of Executive Orders except now, they feel they have no chance and gotten momentum and it is the beginning o f the administration so they are undoing a lot of this stuff that trump did, rejoining the Paris Climate Accord and Etcetera And Undoing The Muslim Ban and Climate Change. Right now first things first, get stimulus passed and covid done. You dont see the president really commenting except a little bit on impeachment. Stay out of that also. Joe biden was not born yesterday, we all know. He was in the senate for 36 years. He understands and when he needs to hang back and let them have their own fight and just do his j job. Republicans, the House Minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy, traveling to meet with the former president , what else do they want out of this . Marching orders . What does he want . Well, they dont want donald trump as an enemy. Mccarthys has a relationship been up and down with the president. He said the president bears the responsibility for the insurrection and then he took it back, we responsibilities. He wants to be speaker of the house some day. He needs to raise money. He does not need donald trump out there bad mouthing republicans, which he can do particularly those who voted for impeachment in the house. David, lets talk about what i said in the open if you will. A lot of focus are wondering why they are being asked to unify with the party that lost the presidency and give space to Qanon Conspiracy Believer and lawmakers who cant come to grip with losing an election. It is a fair question. I would urge everyone to go back to what joe biden said. Hes not just talking about oh, come on, both parties just get together and be bipartisan on everything. No. Thats not what hes saying. I know some people see this unity project as a full mission. What he said was when america faces tough challenges, The Civil War or being in world wars, the Great Depression or 9 11 that we rely on americans sort of relying on their better angels to come together. He said this, don, enough of us need to come together to move the country forward. Enough of us. I dont th i dont think joe biden is expecting Marjorie Taylor greene to play nicely and somehow unifying the country. Hes counting people not in the qanon wing of the party but people who know better. We saw some of that with the ten republicans voted to impeach the president. There needs to be more republicans if we are going to actually move this country for forward. Thats what joe biden was calling us to do. I think he was saying thises the work of our time and we need enough of us to join in the project. Thank you, both, it is good to see both of you. I give you both a ten on room raters. It looks good. I love the family picks. It is beautiful. Thank you, guys. You like my barn . I love the barn. And the baby pics, it is all perfect. Thank you, guys. Governor is searching for more vaccine. Dr. Fauci believes we can increase on supplies. Is it doable . The top doctor is joining me next. These folks dont have time to go to the post office they use stamps. Com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps. Com tv and never go to the post office again. So the pace of vaccinations is picking up, President Bidens Task Force Says it will be months before all americans can get vaccinated. Dr. Fauci says the president does not need to implement Production Act to help with supply issues. Joining me now is our doctor from director of the johns hopkins. G good to see you again, thank you so much for joining us. Do you think dr. Fauci is right . From what i understand the new administration is doing everything it possibly can to increase the doses of vaccines that are available for americans. It is clear they have examining how to use the defense Production Act in whatever way is possible. I think they have so far been in consid conversations with every vaccine manufactures and trying to understand what would make a difference. I think dr. Fauci is saying if there is nothing with the Defe Defensive Act to do. The vaccine is rolling out and over 20 Million People have gotten it so far. Those people want to know if they still have to keep on wearing a mask and social distancing. This is what dr. Fauci said. You can conceivably get infected and get no symptoms and still have the virus, which means you would have to wear a mask to prevent you from infecting someone else as well as the other side of the coin where you may not be totally protecting yourself. Getting vaccinated does not say i have a free pass to put aside all the Public Health measures that we talk about all the time. Maybe i am wrong, i thought most people knew even if you get vaccinated, you still have to do all the social distancing things and stay vigilant and Going Forward in the days ahead . Exactly. I think dr. Fauci summarized it beautifully. We dont know whether people who are vaccinated can carry the virus. It is studied now and well know more about that as data comes in. Even people who are likely enough to be vaccinated already have to presume they could be silent carriers of the virus and pass it onto someone else. Even though this vaccine is phenomenal compares o other vaccine of 94 effective. It still means 6 that people could get it and can get sick. Wearing a mask is the right thing to do. It is going to be a while for all of this, the health part of it and the economic part of it. My mom got the vaccine and she says and i know others have as well. She said i am not rushing out to be in a crowded area or anywhere. I want to see how long this goes on and what happens as we move forward. Thats a great attitude to have for now. Once you start to figure it out, it is okay to start doing those things and we should. Lets talk about these variants if you will. We have to worry about that. Dr. Fauci says the vaccine should still be effective. Theyre working on a booster for the South African variant. It is great theyre trying to stay ahead of the game. Theyre already having trouble getting vaccines out, how are we going to manage getting a booster out as well . If we determine we need this booster and the vaccine is not effective as we needed to be against these new strains, i think it would be swapped into the production line. I think it could be relatively quickly. We would be able to make adjustments. We hope it does not need to happen. We can keep moving on the path we are on and getting it being stable and productive as we go. It is encouraging to know that the companies and our leading government scientists are working on a plan in the event if a vaccine needs to be adjusted. Always great to see you. Thank you, doctor, i will see you soon. The Biden Administration putting facts and science front and center with the way the Climate Crisis is hurting the community of color. What the president plans to do about it next. At heinz, every ketchup starts with our same tomatoes. But not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. Because you cant be everyones Favorite Ketchup Without Making A ketchup for everyone. It is love, love, love that makes it all worthwhile and it is love, love, love that cant help but make you smile.

We see companies protecting the bottom line by putting people first. We see a bright future, still hungry for the ingenuity of those ready for the next challenge. Today, we are translating decades of experience into strategies for the road ahead. We are morgan stanley. President biden taking Executive Action on the Climate Crisis today. He says the crisis requires a whole government approach. It is a whole government approach, putting Climate Change at the center of our domestic, National Security and foreign policy. Revitalizing cities and on the farmland, our plans are ambitious. We are america. We are bold. We are unwaivering in the pursue of jobs and science and discoveries. We can do this. So science is back at the forefront. Thats important. Joining me now is white houses National Climate adviser, jeanna mccarthy. Thank you, adviser, i appreciate you joining us. It is great to be here. Lets talk about the scope of the initiative. It is huge. What do these Executive Orders accomplish right now . What the president is talking about is recognizing that our country is facing crisis. It is facing the covid19 which they are tracking and planning and pushing the vaccines out we also have this economic downturn thats significant. Millions of people are without jobs and people dont know if they can feed their families. This is the United States of america. At the same time we are being reminded of Racial Injustice and look at whos dying most from covid19 and look at whos in the crossed hair of Climate Change. His job, as he sees it is to bring all of these issues together and start solving this them. We can use the clean energy to make peoples lives healthier today and make them better prepare to face the next health challenge. We can use it to grow jobs and stabilize our economy. Thats what this is all about at a broad and aggressive scale. Well, it is great to see someone with such passion. Thank you for your passion, for your work. Lets talk about something you just talked about. Communities of color. They are suffering from the crisis. What are you going to do specifically to fix that . What we are focused on is doing actions thatll reduce Air Pollution in those communities. We are looking at committing 40 of the resources the investments we are making are going to be on Environmental Justice communities. Well look at better opportunities for better houses. Well look at clean energy. We are going to look at opportunities to transition away from those dirty trucks and buses and invest into Transportation System that works for everyone. We are going to do this in a way that recognizes the need to invest in these communities first and foremost but we are also not leaving the workers behind, don. We need work. I dont need sacrifices from everyone. Havent we sacrificed enough . Lets look at how we build it better by investing again in the United Statess infrastructure and getting opportunities for new jobs and growth. Let me ask you this. Have you identify specific communities . I know this position is new. Have you had a chance to identify specific communities . I can give you a Hole Laundry List and a wHole Laundry List of cities where they have been left behind where the Air Pollution is putting their kids into the hospital for Asthma Attacks all the time. I can give you a Community Like lets just say cancer alley in louisiana. If you have never been there, go take a visit. Thats where i am from. Well, then you know and you see what it is like. All of these Pollution Sources need to be controlled and managed. We are now rolling back more than 125 roll backs that the Prior Administration put in place to get rid of fundamental health protections. Stop enforcing. We are having the doj, the department of justice create a unit thats all about Environmental Justice and starting to enforce appropriately in the communities that are facing cumulative impact. We are building a new office at hhs thats all about healthcare, access to healthcare and this relationship to Climate Change. It is just a new day and we are going to treat it like the best opportunity we have for tomorrow. When i was a kid and probably still now, i live near chemical plants, both of my parents worked at a chemical plant. There would be emissions and it would take the pain off the cars. It would not be good for humans if it was taking paints off of cars. A lot of people believe Climate Crisis, adviser, it is here but they dont understand how it affects them in their daily lives or what they can do to help solve the problem. B what do you say to those folks . We have been talking well, i think for far too long weve been talking about the Climate Crisis and trying to think that scare people will make them act. Were not using that approach. That approach has failed. Blam we want people to know that if you get up every day and you go to a job that is actually a Clean Energy Job you are contributing to the actions to stop Climate Change. If you want to have good food on your table, then lets start transitioning our agriculture to bring you healthy food free of toxic chemicals, healthy food that preserves carbon in the soil. We could go on and on. But i just want people to understand that a Clean Energy Future is about them, their families, their health, their ability to live in a house that is safe and efficient and affordable. It is going transform our country and be able to address all these four crises at the same time. And we shouldnt demand anything less than that. Listen, you mentioned, and its been in the news forever. Its an awful example. But flint, michigan. What can flint, michigan expect with the water crisis . Because they are the perfect example of one of those communities that really needs help. They are the perfect example of communities that have been disinvested in. When weve seen our industries collapse. So part of this is about rebuilding our manufacturing sector. Part of this is building off of President Bidens buy america campaign. So we are actually using the power of the federal Procurement Process to actually start investing in the technologies of today and the future and rebuilding manufacturing again. You know, your mom and dad worked in those factories because that was a good job for them. Everybody needs to have a good job to go to. We have to be able to use this as that opportunity. But those factories need to stop polluting both their employees and the people around them. And we have technologies that can do that. Were going to believe in science again. Were going to look at whos being contaminated and where and how we take care of those issues. Thank you so much, adviser mccarthy. I really appreciate you joining us. Come back. Don, i love you. Thanks. Thank you. So at a time when were seeing an alarming increase in antisemitism and White Supremacy we must never forget the horrors customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps. Com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the services of the Post Office Plus ups only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps. Com tv and never go to the post office again. Take this, lets try to talk about just how odiou ss and intensely painful the idea of, quote, Camp Auschwitz is. You all saw it. During that violent and deadly Capitol Insurrection this man sources say his name is robert keith packer, he was photographed wearing a shirt with the words Camp Auschwitz on it, right . A million jews were murdered in that evil place. Celebrating that and flaunting that in everyones face is an attack on Human Decency and on the blessed memory, really. Why am i pointing this out tonight . Because today is International Holocaust remembrance day, the 76th Anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. And we need to talk about what kind of Camp Auschwitz really was, a concentration camp, a death camp. Almost six million jews were murdered thereof the 6 million killed by the nazis in their camps. Entire families wiped out. Only a lucky few survived and built new lives on that foundation of pain. I want you to listen to one of the survivors. There are fewer and fewer now so many years later. Dr. Irene butter, now an american citizen, looks at what happened at the capitol. Listen. There are, again, echoes of the holocaust. And on january 6th we saw it in our own country when there was an attempted coup and rioting in washington, d. C. And some of the rioters wore nazi symbols and used nazi slogans. So its right back here, and i think we learned from it. I think we learned that democracy is vulnerable and we cannot take anything for granted. Thank you, dr. Butter. Never forget. We must never forget, and we must do something now about the hate that thrives in our time. Well be right back
