Extremists and conspiracy cultists are about an mouse and violence. For a party that is consumed with division, with defining us versus them, welsh heres your chance. Us are those who live under the laws and intolerance of one another. This is them. Do you see them . Do you see what they did . This is the only them to worry about in american society. So as we watch a party in search for its soul, the answer is cloudy because we already know what the man who many of them feel loyalty to, the former president , wants to become of these people and from them. Hes on trial for his incessant incitement for the rangry to tae action, to fight for the election to be overturned. Before anybody trying to make it about something else, remember this remember what you are seeing. We have never seen anything like it. It is the worst, period. And they are our worst, period. Too many have hidden from the truth about trumps intentions for too long. January 6th was the price of that. The same people who are silent about january 6th and why it happened are now also quiet as a Qanon Kook Rises in their ranks. Think about that. Tonight we stop, and we must remember january 6th and the disaster let loose on our democracy. One of the heroes of that day is about to be post hue mousily honored. Hes going to be lying in state, lying in a position of honor tonight at the u. S. Capitol. He valiantly fought an armed trump mob nearly four weeks ago. His family arrives soon with his remains. Why is this the first Commemoration Tonight Of January 6th . Back in 1988 we had two Capitol Officers that died trying to stop a gunman. Everybody was on board then, everybody talked about it and why its significant was so great. Not now. Why didnt the death of this officer cause the outrage in the gop ranks of so many others . We on this show will not allow the Capitol Attack to be forgotten. I will carry the ceremony for you tonight. Every time theres a moment there, well go to it so we can share it and remember it. Now, one of the strongest voices in the House Republican caucus tonight is making a stand. And well have him on the show to talk about his party and what is going on and what this night should mean for all of us. Were exactly one week out from the trial of the accused in inkrinciter of the insurrection. President trump is singularly responsible for the violence and destruction, personally responsible. As for the nine House Impeachment Managers and their 80page brief. Incitement of trump, they argue, that went on before january 6th by baselessly claiming the election was stolen from him. The response . Take a look at this his people cant even spell united, let alone make the case this president was anything to do with properly leading the United States of america. Oh, just a typo. No, not on something of this magnitude you make a mistake on page one. And they didnt just do it once. They did it twice. Maybe its freudian they cant even spell united because the word bear not seresemblance to anything the former president was about. Heres their argument theres no basis to say the claim on which trumps claims were wrong. Really . The lawsuits, the members of the states that are republicans and democrats, congress certifying the vote theres no basis for saying that hes wrong . Remember, its not just about him and his mouth. Its the reality of who and what remains. A party that is acting more like a game. Many, too many being more careful about how they speak about a qanon kook in their ranks than trump in the primary. Listen to senator lindsey graham. Are these postings accurate . I want to hear from her. Before i judge what to do about her, i want to know what the facts are. He knows the facts. She literally walks around with a Camera Taping herself spewing vile, and he knows it. This is the same guy that said trump was hell bound. Remember that in didnt seem to show any hesitancy about him. He cant just act, ignoring the reality of half of everything in congress. Doesnt work. So we have to pay attention. Democrats erarn a spot. They are forced to decide, do we return to sanity or do what is right on their own . One of the most influential voices is senator joe manchin of West Virginia . What does he think of this moment we share tonight . Of what is right coming out of tonight . And what would be the way forward to get people the help they need . The senator joins us now. Sir, welcome back to primetime. Good evening, chris. H how are you . Why do you think its important to have the remains of Officer Sicknick and for it to be something all elected officials recognize . Its a day we must never forget, and its a day the officers family will never forget or recover from. Hell always be lost to them. Its such a sad scenario, but when someone basically gives their life defending our democracy, or capitol, and defending each one of us who were in there, the government. We were the government that day trying to do our job, do what were taxed to do. Heres a man who stood there and gave his life. Its important we pay respects and never forget him or his family. Who do you make sense of the fact that republicans and democrats were equal that day . You were all being hunted, and yet on the basis of party, if youre a democrat you talk about what happened on the 6th and who did it and what it should mean. On the right, the silence is eerie. Im very hopeful youve got to be optimistic and hopeful the good people in the grand old party will take back their party. Ive always gotten along god with everybody and tried to have good dialogue and differents and try to work through our differences. It was always a good input. But right now theyre muzzled. They dont know whats going to be lurking ahead, if theyre going to be primaried, if somethings going to come after them imfeel sorry for a lo of my friends caught in this situation. Theres a lot of good people and they just need to speak up. The worst thing that can happen is you can get defeated and that is not a big price to pay for your integrity and soul. Yet here you are now, the at democrats have to figure out the way forward. Ideally it would be nice if both sides could make deals and have progress, be quick bum this isnt going to be as fast for the democrats as people seem to suggest if they go it alone. Whats the chance you can get a significant number of republicans to sign on to a Relief Package now . Chris, ive always believed i really thought that this was wrong for us the go down this path but i respect the president s decision. He said, joe, weve done this before. Back in 2013 trying to pass the Affordable Care act. Eight, nine months we dealt in good faith, and at the end of the day no one was there for us. So i respect and appreciate that. I still think theres republicans that will come to a responsible, reasonable agreement. I was very, very encouraged that the first meeting he had with any congress, any members from senate or congress was ten of my republican colleagues for over two hours in the white house two nights ago. That was tremendous. I can tell you they were so appreciative. Just what a breath of fresh air to see some civility and respect that that office really has. And its ive got good hope. I really do. We have to ive said this, mr. President , i want you to know and aye told my side of the aisle were going to do this in a bipartisan way. Chuck schumer said on the floor this will be done in a bipartisan way. I can assure you that. Were not going bust a filibuster. Were not going to bust the burden rule that protects the filibuster. Were going work with each other, like it or not. Remind people what the bird rule is and why reconciliation wouldnt be all onesided. The bird rule keep you in the mid of the road. You cant go too far left, too far right. Its a budget reconciliation. Cedric richmond told me last night, biden senior official, told me, no, no, no, doesnt apply. This is not about the budget. This is all emergency spending. None of that applies to reconciliation would be fine. Is it not that simple . Not on our side. I dont know about their side. I dont know what rules they operate and work under. Our side there will be call to the chair. The parliamentarian will be called to rule. Does this go through the bird rule . The bird rule basically says it has to be within the budgetary means. People try to expand that, im sure, but then the chair will be called on, the procedural, the parliamentarian. Shell make a ruling based on the rules. They can challenge that and then there will be a vote on that. How many votes do you need to beat the parliamentarian . 51. So its a simple majority. Trying to protect the rules of simple majority. I know were early in this process butu being defined by it. But for joe manchin. We respect joe manchin. Is joe manchin not to speak of yourself in the third person, but are you on an island here, or do you feel youre speaking for other democrats in the senate . There are others. There really is. Maybe theyre not my tenyear Voting Record puts me where i am, and i think im the most centrist person in Congress Voting not middle. Ive always said, if i can go home to my beautiful state of virginia, if i can explain it i can vote if it makes sense, it makes sense, if it doesnt, it doesnt. I always tried to operate under those rules and ill continue to. I told my friend in the democrat caucus, i said, im not going to proceed unless we do it in a bipartisan way. Theres no reason for us the president of the United States knows my position on this. I respect him. I consider him my friend. I want him to succeed and do extremely well, and i think he will. He has the demeanor for it. And he has definitely the knowledge and experience for us to come together and work together. As much as humanly possible. If anybody can bring us together, its joe biden. Hes the right person, right time, right place. So you probably noticed, especially for me, im not going after what happened with you and the Vice President down there that was a mistake. That was just a mistake. Heres why im not even going there. I want this process to be the best it can be and give it best chance on both sides to happen fast before it gets ugly. I know this isnt over. You are welcome hear to discuss where this winds up and why, and what it means for you and the rest of the country voting. You have that opportunity. Chris, i appreciate it. Theres a lot of rules and structures we have to work within, and you have to respect that. And with that, im sure theyll be pushing their limits because everybody has pentup aspirations. I understand that. But i am going to defend the seat to my dear friend, the late robert c. Bird. He gave his life. I explained it this way i said, hey, joe, why do you think we have two senators for rhode island and california . Why would we have a government like that . Why would we have a part of the congress for no matter how big, how small, same representation . No difference in the filibuster, no difference in the bird rule they named after me . So we can protect it so people cant go around it and destroy it. Im going defend robert c. Birds legacy and the senate. Youre going to have head winds coming your way. Well see how it plays out. Be well, senator. Thank you, my friend, thank you chris. We are on watch. We have been watching in the control room. Were starting to see the authorities come, the officials are coming. Theyre getting ready for something we havent seen since 1988, okay . That was when you had two Capitol Police officers lost in the line of duty trying to stop a gunman from entering the capitol. Since then this was january 6th. This wasnt a oneoff, wasnt a rogue person, wasnt a lone wolf. This was a group, a mob that came to attack our democracy, and it is shocking, the silence about this. This is the first time we have had a commemoration tonight. Why . Why isnt the talk that knitted us back together . Well take every moment of this. Youll see what happens tonight so that we can remember january 6th. Also tonight, we have news about the covid vaccine. Okay . Theres been a big piece of news about how you can get the vaccine. And the big piece of news come out of the uk about concerns about what the vaccine actually protects against. But pharmacies are going to be huge. Why . Were all comfortable going to the drugstore. We trust the pharmacist. In fact, most people trust the pharmacist more than the doctor. But like Everything Else in the pandemic, it hasnt been simple. Were lucky tonight. We have the Chief Medical Officer of one of the chief players. Walgreens. Played a big role, about to play a bigger role. What are the realities . What are the challenges . Next. Time to start brushing with Parodontax Toothpaste . If your gums bleed when you brush, the answer is yes. The clock may be ticking towards worse. Parodontax is 3x more effective at removing plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums parodontax every day can be extraordinary with rich, creamy, Delicious Fage total yogurt. At panera, when we make a pizza. We dont just make a pizza. we use fresh, clean ingredients. To make a masterpiece. Order our new pepperoni and four Cheese Flatbread Pizzas for delivery or pickup today. Panera. First lets remember where we came from, and then well talk about where were going specifically with the pandemic. Were waiting on Officer Sicknicks remains to show up with his family. This is the first time we commemorate what happened on january 6th. Part of the shame is how quickly one could forget what happened and why it happened. Capitol Police OfficerBrian Sicknick lost his life that day. Others did, too. But he was in the line of duty. He was protecting men and women who were being hunted who now almost deny the existence of that day, but more importantly, its significancesignificance. But we wont. We all know the adage, if you dont learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. January 6th was not another protest go wrong. It was orchestrated and indicated by a lot of ugly language to do exactly what they did. They didnt attack a store front. They attacked the sacred space of our democracy with an intention to stop the election process, to stop the certification, to stop our democracy. And those forces are alive and well, and now online with all new Feeding Sources because they have been put into the political dialogue by our former president. And theyre radicalizing online at a rate we have not seen before, just ask the Men And Women In Charge of keeping us safe. So tonight well remember. Were going wait, see if the president shows up, who comes. The commemoration, the solemnity of the situation, the pain, the significance. Because thats how he learn. How they speak, and how they dont matters. Now, what else matters . What this administration is going to get us to a better place. Its all about the vaccine. Now we have variants versus vaccine. Were going to take on both parts. Heres big news that came out today beginning next week, the federal government is going to ship vaccines directly to thousands of Retail Pharmacies all across the country to begin phase 2, okay . Walgreens, cvs, rite aid. White house officials caution its going to take time before every major store can get it. Cvs, theyre going to get about 250,000 doses next thursday to vaccinate across 11 states. Its not that much. Walgreens expects around 170 doses to distribute around 13 jurisdictions. So how soon will this make a difference . And what is the role of the pharmacy in this . Why is this the best way . Lets get answers from walgreens Chief Medical Officer, dr. Kevin van. Good to see you, sir. Chris, good to be on the show, thank you. Can wall greens and oh big chains hand this will mandate from the federal government to start moving into phase two . What does this mean for you . You know, its important, chris, to know that we dont start from scratch here. We have been building the vaccine prom for the last ten years and weve got infrastructure. This is a big deal. We started with phase one. That was the longterm care facility, and now well be receiving vaccine directly from the federal government, and then the idea is that well take that vaccine and well go into vulnerable communities that really need it most. The pharmacies found their way into the federal government because this is an opportunity for you to get into revenue streams. What is the reality for wall greens and why youre involved . That is inaccurate. This is not a commercial play. We were collaborating with the federal government around testing and, thiey knew if they collaborated with us, worked tonight on the Vaccine Program we would be able to be successful buzz of our footprint. Our instinct was we wanted to lean immediately into our stores. Instead, the federal government, ows said, look, 40 of the pandemic deaths occur in the longterm care facilities and thats where we need to start. So quite honestly, that for us was a steeper mountain, but we talked about and it decided it was the right thing to do. Not the easy thing to do, but the right thing to do and thats why we started there. Instead of doing it in the stores where we have the infrastructure and you know how to do it you went into the longterm care facilities. Wound up being two interesting things. What did you find versus what you were told of the reality in those places . Lets start there. What did you find . Yeah, well, look, when we went after when we went into these longterm care facilities we had to estimate how much vaccine we would need. The idea was we wanted to have more vaccine. The worsecase scenario would be we didnt have enough to vaccinate. So we knew we had more than necessary. When we got there, what we learned was the occupancy of the facilities is much less than we thought, and not only the vaccine hesitancy, particularly among the employees was high. Just yesterday the cdc reported it was as high as 60 . So very quickly we found we had excess vaccine. We did two things there. Number one, we pushed vaccine to the next eligible clinic. And then we let the states know,
