Right now, the big show, cnn tonight, big star, d. Lemon. Can you believe after a year . I mean i remember when you got it, and i mean we were frightened. We didnt know we didnt know what would happen, and that was in the early stages. And then, you know, we thought 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 30,000, 100,000. We thought that was a lot then, and look where we are now. We are at half a Million People. Who knows where it goes . And it is really important, you know, kind of like january 6th and the shock people had during the trial of the scenes, yeah, because nobody talks about. It is about political interest, and it is the same thing here, brother, and Everybody Knows it. What did trump want people to believe about me . I wasnt sick, that i didnt have it. Why, why would it be relevant . The denial of the reality was the game for him. Yeah. And it not only made us sick, it literally killed so many people that it didnt have to be. These were not inevitable deaths, don. What is interesting to me is that the former president had a year to try to get this under control, and he down played it and lied about it and tried to pretend it was going to go away and held superspreader events and tried to pretend he knew more than the experts and recommended taking, you know, Injecting Bleach and disinfect ant and sunlight, and all of those really crazy things. Now you have the right coming after the current president , saying, well, you know, when are you going to do something about it . Okay. Fine. The guy just got there. Why not have that same level of urgency and of questioning with the former president than they have with the current president . I dont get it. Of course, you get it. It is so ugly, it is so obvious. Deep denial. We made ourselves sick and we have to realize how so we can make ourselves better. They play to advantage. Look, i know this comes with a price. I know that they will attack. They care about deaths. They care about bad things like violence when it suits them. All summer long they were so worried about political violence. Not on january 6th when they were running for their own lives. It is as ugly as it is obvious. Yeah, they will come after you for saying it because thats the State Of Play and people love the blood lust of it. But the truth matters, don, because people are going to look back at this yeah. As a low point in our history. We have never seen americans let one another die for reasons like this. Thats right. Never before. Think about it. I mean think about a half Million People so far, and you still have idiots out there saying, it is not real, it is a hoax, you are taking away my liberty because i dont want to wear a mask. It is just it is the worst Human Behavior, the worst aspect of Human Behavior that i have seen, that culminated to an insurrection on capitol hill. And a political irony. I will let you go. The president was so against any social distancing, any closures, any requirements. They may have saved his ass and i will tell you why. If people had been able to hold funerals all along this time and you saw Procession After procession. All of that. Thats a very good point. And the pain and the sorrow and the loss, it would have been so much more palpable. Thats a very good point. People have had to suffer in silence. They didnt even get to say goodbye. I said goodbye to one of my fri friends. I think you know him, robbie brown, a big real estate guy in the city, charitable guy, philanthropic. He had this big thing for aids he did every year, raised millions of dollars, and one of the biggest Real Estate Agents in the city and i still have not had a chance to mourn him. We havent put together any sort of thing for him because it just keeps going on. Remember, it is not just the people who die from covid. It is the people that died during this time period. Yes. We lost my godmother and, you know, my uncle nick in the family, you know, there but for the grace they held each other together. Yeah. They suffered in silence because they couldnt celebrate my aunt the way she deserves. We will, but thats part of this also. It was all about denying the reality for political advantage. I think about our former colleague, sunny hostin. Her inlaws, both of them died of covid and they cant mourn them properly and my heart goes out to them. Thats part of the process. Im just saying, look, they will talk about this, they will cast political blame. It is going on right now in my life, right. Im just saying being even about it because you dont get to see it in some places and not others. You want to make the case, make the kay case every time. Yeah. Proportionality and dont be hypocritical. Thank you, sir. I love you, d. Lemon. I was waiting for that. Favorite part of my day. I love you more. Ill see you soon. So, you know, this is an incredible milestone that we are talking about, one that we wish we had not reached. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Thank you for joining. President joe biden giving america a message tonight, and one i think that only this president could give. Not the former one. The message that this country needs on a night that the death toll from the pandemic passed 500,000 people. People, lets remember that. The message the country needs after a year on mass death that first horrified us, then overwhelmed us and then it made us numb. I know what it is like to not be there when it happens. I know what it is like when you are there, holding their hands, as they look in your eye and they slip away. That black hole in your chest, you feel like youre being sucked into it. The survivors remorse, the anger. The questions of faith in your soul. For some of you it has been a year, a month, a week, a day, even an hour. And i know that when you stare at that empty chair around the kitchen table, it brings it all back no matter how long ago it happened, at if it just happened that moment you look at that empty chair. The birthdays, the anniversaries, the holidays without them, and the everyday things, the small things, the tiny things that you miss the most. That scent when you open the closet. That park you go by that you used to stroll in. That Movie Theater where you met. The Morning Coffee you shared together. The bend in the smile, the Perfect Pitch to her laugh. I know it is hard. I promise you, i know it is hard. I remember. But thats how you heal. You have to remember. I can only imagine him in this moment doing that. I cant imagine the former president doing that at all, ever. Flags at half staff at the white house, i should say, and the capitol, flown at half staff. The capitol, where just a few short weeks ago a mob of domestic terrorists, racist domestic terrorists, incited by the thenpresident , rioted. President joe bidens nominee for Attorney General promises investigating the attack on capitol hill will be his top priority and vows to fully prosecute the White Supremacists and terrorists who stormed the seat of our government. If confirmed, i will supervise the prosecution of White Supremacists and others who stormed the capitol on january 6th, a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power to a newlyelected government. So as Merrick Garland was testifying, one of the Capitol Hill Police officers who fought the mob was speaking out about the hate he saw on display that day. I call it a [ bleep ], a couple dozen times today, but stuck in this building. Is this america . They beat Police Officers with Blue Lives Matter flags. They fought us. They had confederate flags in the u. S. Capitol. They stormed the speakers office. They went through their sensitive documents. They were trying to assassinate the Vice President in the capitol. Hang mike pence and yet the trumplicans are doing what . Making excuses for that insurrection. Merrick garland promised to bring White Supremacists and terrorists to justice. He promised to hold them accountable for the hate they paraded through the capitol, and then he told us why, why it means so much to him. The wouldbe general Fighting Back Tears as he remembers the hate that drove his grandparents to flee to this country. I come from a family where my grandparents fled antisemitism and persecution. This country took us in, and protected us. And i feel an obligation to the country to pay back, and this is the highest, best use of my own set of skills to pay back. And so i want very much to be the kind of Attorney General that youre saying i could become. I will do my best to try to be that kind of Attorney General. I should say to flee to this country. This is a person the gop kept off the court, who they denied even hearing, let alone a fair vote, a seat, right . Just denied it. Merrick garland promising to stop at nothing to investigate that terrible day, to follow every lead, to pursue justice. That is the former president , the instigator of that deadly attack on the capitol and our democracy is lashing out tonight after his very bad day at the Supreme Court. In one morning the court looking to wash its hands of everything that is trump, defeating his attempts to keep his taxes under wraps and his big lie falsely claiming widespread voter fraud in the last election. The defeat on his taxes was exactly what trump feared, what he fought, and fought to keep from happening. The former president outraged tonight, putting out a Statement Saying that they never should have let this Fishing Expedition happen, but they did, going on to blast prosecutors and Attorneys General who, his words, tried to take down their political opponents using the law as a weapon. Seriously, that is rich coming from him. Really, he said that . He really said that . Donald trump, who as president used the law as a weapon over and over, tried to at least, rewarding his cronies with pardons and commutations. He now thinks as he is getting the shortened of the stick all of a sudden . Now he sees the light because hes getting the shortened of the stick . He thought our legal system worked for him, for him, not the country. He thought the Attorney General worked for him as his personal attorney, not the attorney for the country. What a contrast with Merrick Garland who said this today. I am not the president s lawyer. I am the United States lawyer. Merrick garland promising a return to actual Law And Order, right, what Law And Order really means, while the former president , who claimed to be the Law And Order president , he thinks the Supreme Court should be loyal to him and do his bidding. Just like he thought the Justice Department should be loyal to him and do his bidding. The irony of him saying justice should never be used as a weapon . Well, lets just say donald trump probably doesnt see the irony there. Then theres House Minority whip steve scalise, doing the former president s bidding, still refusing to admit the election was not stolen. Joe biden won the election, he is the legitimate president of the United States. The election was not stolen, correct . Look, joe biden is the president. There were a few states that did not follow their state laws. Thats really the dispute that youve seen continue on. But, congressman, i know joe biden is the president. He lives at the white house. I asked you, is he the legitimate president of the United States and do you concede that this election was not stolen . Very simple question, please just answer it. Once the electors are counted, yes, he is the legitimate president. But if you are going to ignore the fact that there were states that did not follow their own state legislatively set laws, thats the issue at heart that millions of people still are not happy with and dont want to see happen again. Cant even say it. After all of the legal wrangling, all of the republican Attorneys General, about Supreme Court, still cant admit it. Still cant say it. Even now hes buying in to the big lie. It is all a lie. It is a lie, steve scalise, and you should know better. But the Supreme Court handed the former president a stinging defeat on that big lie today, a stinging defeat on a pennsylvania election case over mailin ballots, basically saying, let it go, it is over. And then theres Justice Clarence thomas putting out a dissent that could have been tailor made for the former president , 11 pages that referred to fraud ten times. The big lie all over again. They found no fraud. His own court ruled that, to that, no fraud. But what America Needs now is truth. The truth that the election was not stolen and the truth about the pandemic that has killed more than 500,000 of us. Can we please start to live in reality, people . Can we please stop lying . Can we please stop doing other peoples bidding . The election was not stolen. It was legitimate, the most secure election according to our security folks, ever. Come over to reality, trumplicans. The water is fine. It is warm. In washington, d. C. Today something finally happened that should have happened a long time ago. Judge Merrick Garland got a Confirmation Hearing. What will happen if he takes charge of the investigation of the Capitol Attack . I think this was the most heinous attack on the democratic processes that i have ever seen and one that i never expected to see in my lifetime. Kraft. For the win win. Tonight ill be eating a calzone from doughballs in aurora. doorbell rock on. Tonight ill be eating lobster thermidor au gratin. Really . Shyeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt. Make it two calzones the harrys razor is not the same because some of us are not the same our close shave comes from our 5 germanengineered blades designed to start sharp and stay sharp.

Okay. President biden remembering 500,000 americans who lost their lives in the coronavirus pandemic. Merrick garland, his nominee for Attorney General, testifying at his Confirmation Hearing, saying forcefully that he will fully prosecute those responsible for the attack on the capitol last month. A lot to discuss now. Cnns chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins is here. Ellie honen. We have lived there death and destruction that seemed to come out of the blue, and at no time did we hear anything like this from the former administration. Now joe biden is doing it, marking it, and the message is different now. Reporter it could not be more different really when you look at the two of them. That was what i thought about as President Biden was out there on the south lawn earlier tonight, taking that Moment Of Silence with Amazing Grace playing in the background and those 500 candles to represent the half a Million People who have now died from coronavirus. Thats the same spot where preside President Trump when he was in office was hosting a lot of allies and supporters to accept the republican nomination on the south lawn. You see how different they are responding to this. You heard from President Biden and the remarks he gave before this, was really trying to strike the empathetic tone by talking directly to people who lost a loved one because he knows grief very well. It has been a big part of his public life. He was kind of hinging on that, talking about that as he was making this address. He was also looking forward to whats to come, talking about how we cannot keep living like the way we are right now, and thats what really was also so different from former President Trump, is every time you heard from them it was always forward looking. We have heard that from some of the Health Officials who worked for them was they felt they only had to talk about the good news and not the realistic news of what was going on. You really saw both sides of that from President Biden earlier tonight as they were trying to mark this. And, of course, we should note that they did lower the flags to half staff as well in honor of those who passed away from coronavirus. Elli, theres another massive change in the Confirmation Hearing of Attorney General Merrick Garland. We learned investigating the capitol riot would be a top priority for him. He recognized the current threat of white supremacy. He talked emotionally about justice and how much it means to him. How big a change will it be if he is confirmed to be Attorney General . It was a 180. It was as a former prosecutor, a doj alum, thai wanted to hear, the clarity he brought to the situation. He said, straight up, this will be my top priority. By the way, i had the same reaction as kaitlan thinking about the contrast. I contrasted the clarity with the prior attorney bill barr who bent himself in half trying to not recognize the threat of extremism following Donald Trumps lead. He said not only would he be after those who physically went into the capitol but we will take it as far as it goes, to go beyond that and investigate and potentially investigate the people responsible for this. Lets play it and well let you continue. Here it is. Investigations, you know, i began as a Line Assistant u. S. Attorney and i was a supervisor. We begin with the people on the ground and we work our way up to those who were involved and further involved, and we will pursue these leads wherever they take us. Could that include right up to the former president . Sure. If they determine that he incited that riot, i believe he did. Look, thats what a real prosecutor does. You work your way up. You go after the people who are really behind the scenes, who are really the most powerful pulling the strings. Kaitlan and elie, thank you so much. I appreciate your time. Years of denial and hiding, all unraveling in one morning. The Supreme Court granting the new York Attorney general access to trumps taxes and theyre getting all the receipts. Theyre extremely complex. People wouldnt understand them. Theyre done by among the biggest and best law firms in the country. The same thing with the accounting firms. You. Look. Stunning. Want the truth to why i wake up feeling rawrrr. So darn awesome . I take care of my skin. Not this skin. That skin. And when youve got incontinence, you sure need to. Tena intimates pads lock liquid in, and are now 100 breathable to care for your intimate skin. Are you still here . Text tena5 to 52236 for your free sample. Kind to skin. Protects like tena. The Supreme Court denying former President Trumps lastditch effort to hide his tax returns. That means manhattan prosecutors will have access to multiple years of trumps Tax Documents within days. This all started as part of an investigation into hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and karen mcdougal, two women who claim to have had affairs with trump before he was president. Joining me now is former Trump White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci and william cohen, the author of house of cards, a tale of hubris and wretched excel on wall street. Good evening. William, you said this day would come and i wasnt so sure when you told me that. Alas, you were correct. Thank you, guys, both for joining us. William, the New York Times has reported trump paid little on no taxes for over a dozen years, but prosecutors are now getting access to everything that comes with those taxes including bank records and receipts. What could these documents reveal . Well, don, first, let me thank you for having me back to talk about this. Second, i think this may turn out to be the worst day in Donald Trumps life. Not by a little bit, but by a lot, because just looking at the impeachment votes, he got impeached twice, and both times we knew the outcome unfortunately. But this time theres an outcome that he cannot control. Theres many millions of pages here of documents, memoranda, conversations, et cetera, emails between his people and various accounts, et cetera. This could be an extraordinary treasure trophy for the manhattan district attorney, cyrus vance, and his crack team that hes assembled to look at these. So i think this is going to be a day that donald trump is going to rue for a long time. This is just the beginning of what will be a very long process, but, again, i have to take some pleasure in the fact that Donald Trumps Supreme Court, the three justices that he put on the court and pushed for so hard, were part of the team that was responsible for making this day happen. Didnt save him. It didnt save him at all. So, listen it didnt save him. Anthony, you know, trump spent years fighting to keep this information private. What do you think hes most afraid of, of getting out . Well, it is sort of it has already gotten out. Mary trump wrote about it and the New York Times has written about it. He overstated mary trump just told chris, you know that, that he has been committing tax fraud for decades. Yeah, she wrote about it in her book. If you go through the analysis, some of the think tanks have gone through the analysis, he has overstated the income for purposes of getting mortgages and loans on those buildings and he understated it for purposes of filing his tax returns. So, you know, thats a felony. That comes with many, many years in jail, and hes got a lot of people that are around him that are involved with it. Now, the question is did he silent pardon himself and his family members, don. Were not going to know that until the case gets into the red zone. So well have to see if that happened. My guess is that he probably pardoned some people. Im not so sure if he went as far as pardoning himself, but my bet is that he pardoned some people around him. But, remember, anybody thats been pardoned, and once thats found out, they no longer have the Fifth Amendment right. So hes sort of on that balancing beam there. If i pardon people, they can testify. They have no protection not to. And if i dont pardon them, some of them may go to jail. So, you know, trust me, he is thinking about it every day. I do disagree with mary on that. She probably knows him better than me, but not by much. I think he is whacked out with anxiety over this thing. He will try to play it off by playing golf and saying nonsensical things now in his postpresident ial statements but i think he is loaded up with anxiety over this. Was that a nod of agreement, william . Oh, anthony is spot on. Absolutely. Dont forget, you have people like Michael Cohen who was by his side, who can be you know, cy vance has subpoena power. Michael cohen can be subpoenaed. Allen wisenberg can be subpoenaed, i assume. These will be helpful to the new attorney that he has hired. He has an Excellent Team around him. Again, this is a very, very bad day for donald trump. This is probably his worst nightmare. Hes got, you know, millions of documents to go through and theyre going to find what theyre looking for, im convinced. As close as you can get to a yes, oneword answer, william, what about his kids . Two of his kids are still running his company, theres another Company Owned by ivanka, are his children facing trouble . This consulting Arrangement Ivanka had when she was on the payroll is devious sounding and mysterious, what the New York Times reported on, i think it will be a problem for ivanka trump. Anthony, trump is facing legal problems, civil and criminal, but his grip on the gop seems really strong right now. Do you think any revelations change that . Yeah, theres no question. I mean once he is indicted, that probably wont change it. But if he pleads out or if theres a guilty, conviction, i think it is over for him. But, remember, you know, the cpac guys are just like him. I mean theyre playing the money game. They know theres a 15 to 20 fringe, don, that will pour money into the nonsense that President Trump is spouting. Thats good for cpac in the short term. It is good for that fringe of the party in the short term, but it is very, very bad for them in the long term because, you know, normal people are disaffecting from the party. Yeah. Great conversation. Well continue as this goes on. Thank you, gentlemen. I appreciate it. 165 bills, 33 states. Republicans across the country are pushing bills that make it harder to vote. Why are they doing that . Some of the things that they say that would make voting safer are actively targeting black voters. Stacey abrams is here. She weighs in next. N delicate. I just stuff everything in. You have to wash on cold, because it saves energy. The secret is, tide pods work no matter how you wash. So, everyone is right. Its got to be tide.

Tonight, ill be eating the al pastor burrito from Boca Burritos right here in aurora. doorbell rings excellent as a local access show, we want everyone to support local restaurants. Right cardi b . Yeah eat local trill sound so here is the signal that the Supreme Court sent today, that theyre not interested in cases dealing with the 2020 election results, rejecting an election appeal from pennsylvania republicans. Three justices dissenting including clarence thomas, who in his 11page dissent parroted some of trumps baseless claims about his big lie of election fraud. So Justice Thomas questioning the reliability of mailin battle despite no evidence of fraud. Then writing this, we are fortunate they only allege improper rules changes, not fraud. An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence. Also important is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected. Joining me now is stacey abrams. Stacey abrams is the founded of fair fight action and the author of our time is now. Good to see you, leader abrams. Im so happy you are here. Lets talk about this. Are you surprised by Justice Thomas showing sympathy for trump and others in this dissent that he wrote . Not at all. Both Justice Thomas and his wife have, unfortunately, shown sympathies with the unproven allegations of fraud, but more concerningly the refusal to accept the evidence of their eyes, which is that Nothing Happened other than mitigation of Voter Suppression which has been the Law Of The Land for too long. One of the states trump targeted in his big lie was georgia, and you know georgia very well. Republicans there are now pushing a bill that would restrict voting, eliminate sunday polling, which is, of course, a big factor. Many africanamericans go to the polls and they want to limit the use of drop boxes. Im sure you are going to fight this. What are you going to do . Well, lets be clear. This is the Omni Bus Version of the house consolidation of Voter Suppression bills. Theres actually more than 24 bills that have been introduced. I think the number now stands at 25 or 26, but the reality is that theyve spent most of the legislative session trying to fix a problem that they almost uniformly said did not exist. The cheerleaders for this Voter Suppression activity are brad raffensperger, the secretary of state, and brian kemp, the governor, the two who were lauded by so many for their stalwart protection of the right to vote. I was always very clear that they werent protecting the right to vote. They were protecting the system that they created, and now that that system has worked for too many voters in their estimation, theyre working hard to rescind access to the ballot. Theyre working to shut down Polling Places again by eliminating the number of days of early voting. They are trying to put limits on precincts. They are doing their best to eliminate sunday voting. 71,000 georgians took advantage of that, including 36. 7 were africanamerican. They specifically said throughout the Republican Party that the only way to win elections Going Forward would be to actually limit access to the ballot. That was said by the chair of the Gwinnett County board of elections, the second largest county in our state. So what is happening in georgia is actually being replicated in texas, in arizona, in pennsylvania. 33 states proposing let me just get it clear for our viewers and i will let you respond. Bills like this one in georgia and you just mentioned some in texas and arizona, theyre proposing 33 states are proposing more than 165 bills to make elections exactly. Law change. Do you think republicans could actually win back the house and senate if laws like this pass . Go on. They absolutely can, and that was going to be my point, that weve seen the most egregious bills come out of the states that were either closest or that actually flipped. So pennsylvania, which had gone republican in 2016, went for joe biden in 2020. The same in arizona and in georgia. What we are seeing is that across the country in states where there were close elections or where they feel close elections, their solution is not to improve their policies or to improve their responses to the needs of the people. Their response is to make it harder for the people to participate. The only solution that i see right now, given the extreme gerrymandering that exists in many of these states, is that we pass hr1, the for the people act, which will provide a floor for Democracy In America that will say no longer will geography determine the quality of your citizenship. Because right now american citizens who are eligible to vote are treated vastly differently depending on where they live, the day they decide to participate in our democracy. I want to talk about this former senator Kelly Loeffler launching her greater georgia vote to boost registration. It looks like the gop answer to your program. If the gop response is to do something that is counter to defending the democracy, that should be something every patriot in america pushes back against. I welcome anyone who actually wants to encourage access to the vote, anyone who wants to make certain that every eligible voter can cast their ballot and have those battle counted. What Kelly Loeffler and her allies in the gop have said in georgia and elsewhere is they dont want every georgian to vote. They want the georgians they like to vote. She was very specific that their target will be partisan registration of only conservative voters. The work we did in georgia was to encourage and protect democracy for everyone, and so if Kelly Loeffler intends to actually serve all of georgia, she is welcome to join the fight. If her fight will be to limit access to the right to vote in georgia, she has a big fight coming. I dont understand. It just seems undemocratic and unamerican to try to limit peoples access to the Polling Place, the voting booth, because thats a fundamental right under in the constitution, protected by the constitution. So why do you think people like Kelly Loeffler lets just say that Kelly Loeffler is out there fighting for everyone to have as much access, right, as possible, that would be fine. But then you have the other things, like these other bills, 165 bills to change these laws and try to limit voting. Why must they do why cant they just get out there and do what youre doing, what La Tasha Brown is doing and try to get as many people access to the Polling Place as possible instead of trying to limit people . First of all, the constitution doesnt actually guarantee us the right to vote. What the constitution does is preclude certain categories of voters from being denied the right to vote. So the 15th Amendment guarantees that blacks have the right to vote. The 19th Amendment said the same for women. It was the 26th Amendment that said that for young people between the ages of 18 and 21. But the reality is we have a system that is fractured and divisive, that delegates to the states and relegates the power to the states to determine who actually has access to the ballot. What we see happening with Kelly Loeffler and her ilk is theyre returning to what has worked for so many in times when demographics are changing and when power is shifting. Instead of updating their beliefs and their policies to meet the moment, they instead try to remove people from participation. Thats why the person running the new georgia project, latasha brown, helen butler, the leaders of americans advancing justice and so many other groups have been working hard to expand access to the right to vote. It is only eligible citizens who will ever be able to cast a ballot, but it should be every eligible citizen we should want to participate. It is deeply disappointing to me, in fact, it is deeply diss heartening a former u. S. Senator would spend her time and resources to publicly engage in once again the type of Conspiracy Theory that say only certain americans should valued and have their votes counted, and thats what Kelly Loeffler is proposing. But i cant be surprised she accepted the support of Marjorie Taylor green, a qanon conspiracy theorist, because in her mind winning at all costs is more important than protecting the United States and fundamentals of our democracy. Im glad you clarified about what i said about the constitution. Thats why john lewis fought so hard for the Voting Rights act and people are fighting for that. Stacey abrams, thank you so much.

Seven of the eight members of her household came down with it. Her 93yearold father did not survive. I spoke to sean and brandon blackwell, brothers who lost both of their parents to covid. Paul and Rosemary Blackwell of texas died together, holding each others hands. You know, it still just seems unreal. Like Me And My Brother Were Talkit Talking earlier. Like my mom and dad are just going to walk through that door any second. But, you know, we know that theyre not. Its just its just a hard decision that anyone has to make. And im glad my brother was from and he was able to lean on me and i was able to lean on him because that was just a crazy experience. And there was also Lasette Vallejo from florida, who lost her husband and her fatherinlaw to coronavirus. They were both doctors. My husband is my hero. I miss him very much. He was a very kind person. He would go out of his way to help any human being. At any time of the day, he would wake up and go to the hospital and help anybody. When he was in the covid section, he would tell me, i need to go see my patient. And i was like, try to be careful. And he said, i love these people. These are my family. And he would spend every day going to the hospital on the front line helping another human being. And for me, im really devastated losing him, but hes a great doctor and my hero forever. I want you to think again about what we saw tonight. The president and the first lady, the Vice President and her husband all Wearing Masks during a Moment Of Silence outside the South Portico of the white house tonight amid a candlelight vigil. I want you to compare that to the former president standing on the porticos balcony last fall after returning to the white house from being hospitalized for covid and defiantly ripping off his mask. Tonight weve lost a half a million americans. We can never undo what has been done, but we can remember them, mourn them, and we can promise to do better. .

And on reopening schools, we know what happens when we dont put safety first. Ignore proper ventilation or rates of community spread, and the virus worsens. Fail to provide masks or class sizes that allow for social distancing, and classrooms close back down. A successful reopening requires real safety and accountability measures. Including prioritizing vaccines for educators. Parents and educators agree reopen schools. Putting safety first.
