To follow suit. This is a medical crisis for women in texas. Congressional democrats are outraged. But is there anything they can do . Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar joins me to discuss in moments. Plus, probe widens. The House Republican Leader threatens Communications Companies about complying with requests from January 6th investigators. As the inquiry on the Capitol Riot moves forward. Why are Some republicans trying to thwart it . Ill speak to republican Congressman And Member of the January 6th committee Adam Kinzinger, ahead. Hello, im Dana Bash in washington where the state of our union is looking for Some Solace this holiday weekend. It wont be easy in an America Reeling from floods, fire, and a still raging vice. U. S. Deaths from covid19 are reaching 1,500 a day, as Health Officials warn unvaccinated people against traveling this weekend because theyre at such great risk. On Friday President biden blamed the ongoing pandemic for an August Jobs report that fell short of expectations. More bad news after a difficult month that saw the chaotic exit from afghanistan and the failure to get all americans out of the country before the withdrawal. A super powerful hurricane that killed dozens and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands and devastating fires out west. And President Biden is facing new challenges to his legislative agenda after a key democratic senator said he does not support a 3. 5 trillion bill packed with democratic priorities, including addressing the climate crisis. That, in turn, could doom a bipartisan Infrastructure Deal in the house. And the Supreme Court took a Giant Step towards reversing roe v. Wade by allowing a near total Abortion Ban in texas to stand. A move that democrats have few options to stop. Joining me now is white House Chief of Staff Ron Klain. Thank you So much for joining me this morning. So, i first want to ask about covid and specifically the White House plans, that you announced last month, to begin offering Booster Shots to all vaccinated adults beginning September 20th. But cnn and other News Organizations are reporting that top Health Officials warned the White House this week that they need more time to review all the necessary data before they can recommend boosters for all adults. You all know President Biden promised to always follow the science, but in this case did he get ahead of the science by setting that specific date for boosters before all the data was in . No, dana. I think what we said was that we would be ready as of the 20th, which was the projection we were given from the senior Science Team as to when the fda would clear the boosters. I want to be abSolutely clear. No ones going to get boosters until the fda says theyre approved, until the Sory-committee'>Cdc AdviSory Committee makes a recommendation. What we want to do, though, is be ready as Soon as that comes. The country lived through a disaster in december when the fda approved the vaccinations for the first time, but the administration had no plan to have enough vaccine on hand and to distribute it. So the most important thing we can do here at the White House, what our covid Response Team can do is to make sure that we have bought the boosters, and we have, and that we have a distribution plan, So that as Soon as the regulators, the scientists say good to go, heres who needs them, heres whats approved, they will be available probably the very same day that that approval gets given. Cnn is told that Some fda officials werent on board with the White House putting out that specific date on when people should expect Booster Shots. And two top officials at the fda have stepped down. Did anyone at the Fda Raise concerns with you or others there about putting that data on this rollout . Dana, not that im aware of. But what i will say is the president was very clear when he announced it that it would be subject to Fda And Cdc adviSory committee approval. So, we have been very clear from the start that No Ones going to get those Booster Shots till the fda says yes, till the Sory-committee'>Cdc AdviSory Committee and ultimately the cdc, the Cdc Director says yes. Officials from both Cdc And Fda were involved in setting that week of September 20 target date. That still is, we still are hopeful that at least one of the vaccinations could be available that date. Again, i think what the american people want to know is that rather than being lackadaisical about this, we are ready to go as Soon as the approval for the boosters comes from the fda and from the cdc. So, just to clarify because theres a lot of interest in this, as you know, who will get it and when . And how will you make that decision . Will you 100 follow the science . 100 . We will wait for fda approval, we will wait for cdc approval. They will decide which vaccines are approved to be used as boosters. They will decide when that approval comes. They will decide who will get it under those approvals. Those are decisions made by Fda And Cdc. As i said before, what we have done is purchase the boosters So we are ready So we dont see this Horrible Spectacle We Saw in december where vaccines were approved but you couldnt get them, you didnt know where to get them, we didnt have the supply, we hadnt purchased enough vaccines for every american to be vaccinated in december. Were ready to go once the science says go. I just want to clarify, it Sounds like what youre saying is it is possible September 20th, that week will come and the boosters might not be ready to be approved. Dana, lets not play games about this. So what im saying is we will go when the fda and the cdc say go. I think the reports out of both agencies are that at least Some of the boosters for Some people will be ready that week. But we are going to go whenever they say go. Got it. Okay. Lets talk about Unemployment Benefits. At least 7. 5 million americans are going to lose expanded Unemployment Benefits when that program expires tomorrow. President biden says the states can use their leftover Stimulus Funds to extend benefits on their own, but according to the washington post, no states have indicated that they plan to do So. The Delta Variant is Wreaking Havoc on the economy still. So, why did the president make a decision to just let these benefits expire and not push to extend them again . Well, dana, the congress when they passed these benefits, set this as the expiration date. And i would say the Delta Variant is having an impact on the economy but not So much on employment. Were at the lowest Unemployment Rate we have seen in this country in a year and a half, 5. 2 . Weve added jobs every single month weve been here. The states were given money as part of the Rescue Plan back in march to deal with the consequences of any economic Dislocation Due to covid. States are using that money in different ways. One of those ways is employment bonuses, paying people to take jobs. Other states are providing employment training, employment counseling. These benefits expire under the law this coming week. And we think that the states have the tools they need to help people move from unemployment to employment. We have more unfilled jobs in this country than at any time on the record of measuring unfilled jobs. So we think the jobs are there, and we think the states have the reSources they need to move people from unemployment to employment. Ron, lets turn to afghanistan. More than 100 American Citizens were left behind when the last Military Flight Left Kabul earlier this week. What is their status right now . Have any gotten out, and how many are still there . We believe its around a hundred. Were in touch with all of them who weve identified on a regular basis. Obviously were hopeful that in the coming days the qataris will be able to resume Air Service out of kabul. If they do, were obviously going to look to see if americans can be part of those flights. We are going to find ways to get them the ones that want to leave to get them out of afghanistan. We know many of them have Family Members, many want to stay. But the ones that want to leave were going to get them out. As the president says what happened on August 31st as we transitioned from a Military Mission to a diplomatic mission to get the remaining americans and the afghan or afghan allies, the Socalled sivs out of the country, and we continue to work on that. And for those Socalled sivs, rather, the question is whether or not youre hearing what we believe are credible reports about the taliban systematically hunting them down, many of them and killing them. Have you heard about that, and what is the administration doing about it . Dana, there are all kinds of reports coming in. Were in close communication with our Sources and our contacts in afghanistan to try to get those sivs out, to get them out safely. I know Some are coming out by land. We are continuing to work on efforts to get them out by air as well. Were going to continue to move those sivs out of the country. What i will say is, as everyone knows, we launched a historic airlift that brought 124,000 people out of afghanistan, American Citizens, legal permanent residents of this country, residents of other countries, and a lot of afghan nationals. And we are going to get those people, weve gotten those people to safety. Were ultimately going to resettle them in europe and the united states. And thats a big part of rescuing that siv population. I want to ask about infrastructure. I know you saw West Virginia Senator Joe manchins oped this week saying he does not support the 3. 5 trillion reconciliation plan, which includes a lot of the Biden Agenda right now, including measures to combat the climate crisis. So, without manchins support, its dead. So how do you fix this . Dana, if i had a nickel for every time Someones told me this package has been dead, i would be a very, very rich perSon. It was dead back in may when there was initial opposition to it. It was dead in june the way the president went to europe. All i heard is how this package and yet amazingly it continues to advance. The bipartisan Infrastructure Plan passed the u. S. Senate, and the house adopted a rule for its ultimate passage later in september. And the reconciliation bill, both the House And Senate have adopted the Budgets Structure to pass it, and the house is now in committee markups this week and next. Weve worked with Senator Manchin every step of the way. Hes been a partner of our administration. He has strong views. Others have views. Were going to work together to find a way to put together a package that can pass the house, that can pass the senate, that can be put on the president s desk and signed into law. Is he convincible . Hes very specific saying that hes worried that Price Tag or even Something close to that is too difficult to pass because of the debt, and even because of inflation. Is that Something thats i think thats why hes very persuadable. This package adds nothing to the debt. It is fully paid for by raising taxes on wealthy people. Weve had people become billionaires during the pandemic. They should pay their fair share of taxes. Weve had 55 big corporations pay nothing in taxes. They have record profits. If we raise taxes on the big corporations who arent paying, raise taxes on people using international loopholes, raise taxes on the wealthy who are not paying their fair share, we can pay for every one of those investments in the package without a penny of taxes on people making under 400,000 a year, and without a Penny Being added to the longterm federal debt. In fact, passing these tax changes, making the people who arent paying pay their fair share, collecting taxes from people who owe them and are Dodging Taxes by using loopholes, using lawyers and accountants, collecting those taxes will make our Tax System fair, make middleclass people share less of the burden and can help bring down our debt in the long run. So i think Senator Manchins concerns about inflation and debt, those are things we can address with the package itself. Before i let you go, i have to ask about the Supreme Court declining to block a Texas Law, which bans all abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, and effectively deputizes private citizens to enforce it. I know the president is directing federal agencies to look into ways to address this, but this is the Law Of The Land right now. There are women who are scared and dont know what to do in texas. You know the law better than most people i know in this country. Is the reality that there isnt a whole lot the administration can do right now to change things in texas . Dana, i hope thats not the reality. We have the best lawyers at the Justice Department looking for legal remedies to protect women who are seeking to exercise their constitutional rights. We have the team at hhs looking at what means we can do to try to get women the healthcare services they need in the face of this Texas Law. And we have the Gender Policy Counsel here at the White House, the first time a president s ever had a Policy Counsel devoted to gender issues coordinating all this work to bring options forward for the president and the vice president. So you think its possible that you can do Something at the federal level . We are going to find ways, if theyre at all possible, and i think they are possible, we are going to find ways to make a difference for the women of texas to try to protect their constitutional rights, yes. Ron klain, thank you So much for joining me this morning. I really appreciate it. Thanks for having me, dana. And coming up, other states are now considering following texas lead with Copycat Bills to restrict Abortion Rights. Senator Amy Klobuchar on whether democrats can stop that. Thats next. Plus, House Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy is trying to stop Communications Companies from saving a record of who he talked to on January 6th. Why .

Welcome back to state of the union. Im Dana Bash. Abortion providers, activists, and many women in texas say they are now facing a climate of fear after the Supreme Court refused to halt the new Texas Law that prohibits most abortions and essentially rewards vigilantes. Everyday citizens are now encouraged to report anyone who aides a woman in getting abortion, who can include a doctor to a Family Member to even an uber driver. And now a handful of states are considering similar measures. Joining me now Senator Amy Klobuchar of minneSota. Thank you So much for joining me, senator. Because the Supreme Court allowed the Texas Law to stand, abortion is now all but illegal in that state. And the court is set to hear arguments in the fall about a Mississippi Law banning abortions after 15 weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest. So i want to play an exchange that you had with now Justice Amy Coney barrett during her confirmation hearing. Roe is not a superprecedent because calls for its overruling had never ceased but that doesnt mean that roe should be overruled. It just means that it doesnt fall on the handful of cases that No One questions anymore. Well, i am then left with looking at the tracks of your record and where it leads the american people. And i think it leads us to a place thats going to have severe repercussions for them. Senator, is the court about to overturn roe v. Wade . I hope not, dana. But if you follow those tracks, as i mentioned at Justice Coney barretts hearing, i think you know where it leads. This decision that they made with the state of texas is unbelievable. Justice roberts, not exactly a liberal, a conservative justice who sided with the liberal justices in this case in dissent said that the Texas Law was unusually, it was unprecedented, that theyre basically taking their own authority and giving it to the populous in the form of, hey, you can be a bounty hunter, 10,000 you can report a woman whos trying to go and seek to exercise her constitutional rights. That is exactly what that law says. And in the past when they had cases that were So blatantly against roe v. Wade, they would stay those cases when such requests came up. They did it with another Texas Law. They did it in 2015. They did it in 2019. And, So, here you have them this year, this week, basically telling women in texas that 85 of them seeking abortion services cannot exercise their constitutional rights. And they know very well that there are over 500 laws that are messing around with this, and youre going to see cases just like this come before them. In ed it at midnight with just less than 72 hours of debate. And basically greenlighted a law that is blatantly against roe v. Wade. You said you hope not on the question of Will The Court overturn roe v. Wade. But it Sounds like youre saying that you think it will. I hope not. But you never know when the justices look at the facts of a case. You alSo have a recent State Court Decision that stayed this with Some clinics in texas. Youre going to see this wind up through the notoriously conservative fifth circuit. And then it eventually will go to the Supreme Court. But the problem is this, which is why i turn to congress and why i believe that is a Solution. It can take months, it can take years for a final case on the merits to get before the Supreme Court. So, senator, you mentioned congress, Speaker Pelosi says the house will vote to codify Abortion Protections into law. But you know better than i do there arent 60 votes for that in the u. S. Senate. So realistically, what can you and your fellow democrats do . Or is the Texas Law going to be allowed to stand . Well, first of all, im glad Speaker Pelosi is showing that leadership to get this through the house immediately. Basically codify, or to put roe v. Wade into law. In the u. S. Senate, first of all, there are Some prochoice republicans. I want to make that clear. Weve seen that time and time again in votes. But enough to get to 60 . No. Senator collin, senator murkowski. My Solution to this, which is my Solution for Voting Rights and So many other things, including climate change, where one side of the country is in flames, The Other Side of the country is flooded with people dying submerged in their cars. I believe we should abolish the filibuster. I do not believe an archaic rule should be used to allow us to put our heads in the sand, to use justice Sotomayors words, to put our heads in the sand and not take action on the important issues, the challenges that are facing our country right now, now and over the next years. We just will get nowhere if we keep this Fill Bust in place. How do we do it . There have been those including Senator Manchin that has signaled an interest in whats called the Standing Filibuster where you basically require The Other Side to have to be there day in and day out to require them to support a position that isnt even supported by all of their own members on roe, not supported by 77 of the american public who thinks roe should remain law. Dont you think there are a lot of republicans who would be happy to stand up to talk for hours and days and weeks about their opposition to Abortion Rights . How would that change the outcome of the Number Problem that you have . Well, im sure there is. But i think it is really important that we make these reforms. Another one would be to carve out constitutional rights, to carve out things like the voting bill, to allow for votes on that. And i think my job right now is to make the case on the merits. I talked to Senator Manchin, senator sinema. Theres not that many senators and thats what were doing. But i just think to pretend that this isnt happening right now is the biggest mistake. This is an assault on womens health. There is no doubt about it, and as you can see by my exchange with amy coney barrett, we could see it coming. There are now three trump Supreme Court justices, you add that to the two conservatives that were already there. This is the result. Its not a surprise. Senator, this decision is renewing calls by Some on the left for democrats to try to expand the size of the Supreme Court. President biden doesnt support that. You said you were open to the idea in the past. Where do you stand now . Well, i still am. And you can see why. I dont think this court is going to change any time in the near future. But, again, practically, as i look at it, i think what is the best way to get to a result thats the right policy thats consistent with where the american people are, that will not wreak havoc in this country. And to me the best thing is to get rid of the filibuster. But that is an option, and President Biden has a commission in place right now that is considering it. You said the last time you were on this show that justice stephen breyer, if hes going to retire, he should do it Sooner rather than later. Is that time now . I stick to my words. I believe if he is seriously considering retirement and he has said he would do it based on not only his own health but alSo the future of the court. If this decision doesnt cry out for that, i dont know what will do it. And thats not going to change the results necessarily, but at least it doesnt put it at 72. Lets talk infrastructure, plans to pass a 3. 5 trillion reconciliation plan. It includes much of President Bidens domestic agenda, came to a Screeching Halt this week. Your colleague Senator Manchin, who you mentioned, he said he wont support that Price Tag. He called for a strategic pause. You just heard white House Chief of Staff Ron Klain say he thinks that manchin is persuadable. Do you agree . Well, i never quite use the word persuadable with joe manchin, but i think that he is Someone that many times have been willing to get to a place thats the right place to be. We were able to work with him, President Biden was able to work with him, and he himself came to the right position on the american Rescue Plan, which as we still struggle with during the pandemic, has literally saved lives and put our country in such a better place. I believe you saw the same thing happen with the infrastructure bill, which recently the bipartisan bill that passed the senate. And now i believe well get there. When it comes to this really important part of build back better, which is about Housing And Childcare while we are still getting through this pandemic. So i dont quite use the word persuadable. I dont picture persuading joe manchin. But he gets to the right place. We knew this was going to be a tough negotiation. Im not surprised by what he wrote. And we will get this done. Senator Amy Klobuchar, thank you So much for joining me this morning. I really appreciate it. Thanks, dana. Great to be on. Some House Republicans want to kick my next guest out of their caucus for telling the truth. Congressman Adam Kinzinger is here and will join me next.

The Justice Department is making headway in prosecuting Some of the 600 people arrested after the January 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. The Socalled Qanon Shaman plead guilty. The house January 6th committee is asking teleCommunications Companies to preserve the Kwoen Records of several House Republicans including the Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy who responded to the news with a threat. Joining me now is a member of the January 6th committee, republican congressman Adam Kinzinger of illinois. Thank you So much for joining me this morning. I want to start with that request from the committee you serve on. The Gop Leader Kevin Mccarthy responded by saying that the teleCommunications Companies should not comply, and he warned that, quote, a republican majority will not forget. Is he trying to obstruct your inquiry . I think obstruct, i dont know, but its really bad politics, i think, to say the least. Look, we as a committee, we have a right and we have the responsibility. And frankly we have the legal authority to go through the process of requesting these kinds of things. Right now all weve said is we want these records preserved. Theres a number of people, i wont go into the details of who alls on it, and then well decide what we need to see and whats in the american peoples interest. And i think to turn around and make ominous talk to these Telecom Companies that, you know, when we take over its going to be different or well have payback, thats not frankly the republican party i remember and the republican party i have joined. You said its bad politics. Is it more than that . This is a congressional investigation. Yeah. I mean, look, thats the thing is what is the intention there . I think, yes, its bad politics. Is It Obstruction . I dont know what is considered obstruction of a congressional investigation, but i would certainly recommend he never go there again. If you have a problem with what the committees doing, there is a process for your lawyers and your people to push back against it. But its not to go on tv and tell, you know, these companies that theyre going to regret it. That to me is a pretty scary place to go in this world if we start using our power as a way to get the outcome that we want. House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Biggs is calling on mccarthy to boot you and your fellow republican Liz Cheney from the House Gop Conference because youre participating in this January 6th committee. What does that say about todays republican party . Well, i think whatever they do is going to be what it says. Now, ill tell you what it says for sure about the House Freedom caucus, and i guess the 15 or 16 people that signed this letter. Some of those people that signed that letter are the ones out there talking about things like, you know, bloodshed or supportive of that or flirting around with white nationalism. So the question is what is our party going to be . Are we going to be the party of Opportunity And Hope or the party of anger, division, and truth has no place in it . And if Andy Biggs has his way, we will be the party where truthtellers and people that want to stand up for the constitution, like Liz Cheney and myself, get kicked out of the party because theres no room for truth. So, i would encourage the rest of my colleagues in the republican party to not just passively resist that move but to do it open and honestly, not because of me. Im not worried about my future on that. But because the party desperately needs Some people to stand up and tell the truth. Congressman, do you think that voters should trust House Republican Leaders with the majority in the next election . Yeah. I mean, look, im a republican. I would like to see actual republican values in the majority. All i can say right now is my party has to embrace truth. We have to have a full reckoning of what happened on January 6th, and we have to turn away from conspiracy. I think if were going to be in charge and pushing conspiracy and pushing division and pushing lies, then the republican party should not have the majority. But if were going to be the party that actually tells truth and fights for real conservative values and doesnt masquerade conservatism as Some anger, then certainly we should have the majority. But thats up to the party right now to determine. For me im going to go out and tell the truth. Lets turn to afghanistan. A senior State Department Official tells cnn that the majority of Afghan Special Immigration Visa Applicants were left behind when the u. S. Pulled out. You sent a letter to the secretary of State And Defense secretary demanding specifics on exactly who is evacuated and who wasnt. Have they responded . No, not yet. You know, look, again, it was interesting because as this was going down, this evacuation, the administration would stand up and talk about all this great success, and certainly they evacuated a lot of people. I dont want to take that away from them. But we were hearing very different things on the ground. You know, we were getting real Big Push back when they were, like, oh, no, its going swimmingly, and we were, like, no, nobodys getting through the gates. I think we evacuated 8,800 of these afghan sivs out of Tens Of Thousands that wanted to go. This is a shameful moment in america. And, unfortunately, were So tribal that people are just, like, either going to go out and defend the Administration Or Attack the last administration, which i think, frankly, both have screwed up afghanistan. And we just want accountability for that. This is americas reputation. This is going to last for a long time. Its going to be a stain on our country. And, quite honestly right now the last of the Resistance Front is fighting a taliban onslaught. They had Some victories yesterday. But they are now facing american weapons operated by the taliban. And as far as i know, were doing nothing but trying to cooperate with the taliban. Its really a sad day. And i hope the president turns Some of those decisions around. You talked about Some of those who came out. There were a lot of people rescued and are now refugees. The biden administration said the u. S. Could ultimately welcome more than 50,000 afghan refugees. Many of those have limited access, though, to financial Support And Face uncertain legal status. I know this is a priority for you. Is the u. S. Doing enough, the government . Well, the government i think always can do more first off, the governments not, as far as rescuing anybody anymore. In terms of the resettlement, obviously i will say the department of state has done a good job in finding safe third countries to process these people and finding countries to place them. But i think a lot of the relocation in the united states, theres probably more that can be done. But theres a lot of groups out there, dana, like No One left behind. These are people that have been out there doing this from the very beginning when this program was started that can really help folks get resettled. Catholic charities, lutheran charities. So theres a lot of good privatesector groups. Its going to be a challenge for anybody that relocates to the united states because theyre coming here without really a network of people. But its certainly going to be better than facing what well call authoritarian justice by the taliban and certain death. I want to ask about the Supreme Court, just allowing a Texas Law to go into effect that prohibits abortions after just six weeks, including cases of rape and incest. And actively deputizes ordinary citizens to enforce it. What do you think of that law . Well, theres a lot of question about what the supreme Court Thing meant. So, look, for me im prolife. But what i dont like to see is this idea of every citizen being able to tattle, sue an uber driver, be deputized to enforce this Abortion Law to whatever they want. I think if youre going to do Something on abortion, its a debate that we should have thats open and not just opening people up to be sued for any part in that process. I alSo think, look, i believe in the rape and incest, life and the mother, health of the mother which is not in there. Thats correct. And So i think, like, any bill going forward should certainly take that into account and should certainly not be set up So that its enforced by people using private right of action to sue Somebody, versus just actually having an open and honest law. Real quick, if the democrats and the majority in the house come up with legislation specifically to try to target the Texas Law, would you support it . Well, i mean, id have to see what the details are. Obviously abortion is a very deep, deep concern for everybody. Its very perSonal.

This coming saturday is the 20th anniversary of 9 11. And over the next week, we will hear a lot of stories about the heroics of that day and the horrors. The lives lost and the families reeling. As a Society, we have never been the same. I was a producer covering the capitol back then. I remember Parking Right on the east front very close to the Capitol Building itself. You could do that pre9 11. I was rushing into the building because two planes had hit the twin towers. The minute i hit the Up Button on the elevator, i was told to evacuate. It was about 9 38 a. M. , and flight 77 had just slammed into the pentagon. People in the capitol facing west could see the Smoke Billowing from across the river. I ran outside and crossed the capitol plaza, hooked up with a cnn photojournalist, and we started to send back live pictures of the capitol when all of a sudden Capitol Police officers started to scream, run, run for your lives. It turned out they were getting word that a fourth plane was unaccounted for and possibly headed for the capitol. That was flight 93, which didnt make it to the capitol because the brave Souls on board took it down in shanksville, pennsylvania. Later at dusk on that chaotic day 20 years ago, members of congress in both parties returned to the steps of the capitol. After all the leaders spoke Rank And File lawmakers broke into saw, an impromptu rendition of god bless america. God bless america my Home Sweet home it was one of the most genuine, moving moments i had ever seen at the u. S. Capitol. Democrats and republicans coming together in the face of an unprecedented terror attack. Its almost hard to imagine these days, given how Divide Congress is, even in the wake of a different kind of attack, one this time directly on the u. S. Capitol on lawmakers and democracy itself. Societies pause and reflect on anniversaries to honor and remember but alSo to learn. I hope those Serving Today and those Rethey Want will take a few minutes this week to go on youtube and go back and watch that bipartisan moment as the sun went down on the capitol on september 11th, 2001. For those of us who were there to remember, for newer lawmakers to learn. God bless america my Home Sweet Home God bless america well be right back.

If that seems unlikely, well, remember, its exactly what happened almost 20 years ago.

Its out of control, the situation, and this is why Theres Anger and theres no Arnold Schwarzenegger on The Other Side of the ballot. There is no Arnold Schwarzenegger So newSom can figure out how to be Arnold Schwarzenegger for a second. Maybe its the demograph, i dont know.
