Come. Each Inflection Point in this Nations History represents a fundamental choice. I believe that america at this moment is facing such a choice, and the choice is this. Are we going to continue with an economy where the overwhelming share of the benefits go to big corporations and the very wealthy or are we going to take this moment right now to set this country on a new path, one that invests in this nation, creates real sustained economic growth, and that Benefits Everyone including working people and Middle Class folks. Thats something we havent realized in this country for decades. The data excuse me. The data is absolutely clear. Over the past 40 years the wealthy have gotten wealthier and too many corporations have lost a sense of responsibility to their workers, their communities and the country. Just look at the facts. Ceos used to make about 20 times the average worker in the company that they ran. Today they make more than 350 times what the average worker in their corporation makes. Since the pandemic began, billionaires have seen their wealth go up by 1. 8 Trillion. That serve knows Balance Yar before the pandemic began, the total accumulated wealth beyond the billions they already had has gone up by 1. 8 Trillion. Simply not fair. How is it possible that 55 of the largest corporations in this country paid Zero Dollars in federal Income Taxes . They made over 40 Billion in the year 2020 and they paid zero. Think about that. Zero dollars in federal taxes on 40 Billion in profits. How is it possible that the wealthiest billionaires in the country can entirely escape paying Income Tax on what theyve made . How is it possible for millionaires and billionaires that can pay a lower rate of tax than teachers, firefighters or Law Enforcement officers . Here is the simple truth. For a long time this economy has worked great for those at the very top while ordinary Hardworking Americans, the people who built this country, have been basically cut out of the deal. I have said this from the time i announced i was going to run. I believe this is a moment and a potentially great change. This is our moment to deal working people back into the economy. This is our moment to prove the american people that their government works for them, not just for the big corporations and those at the very top. When i was sworn in as president the nation was struggling to pull out of the worst economic crisis since the great depression. Job growth was anemic with just over 60,000 new jobs per month in the three months before i was sworn in. Then we went to work and passed the american Rescue Plan back in march and it worked. It is still working. Over the last three months we have been creating on average 750,000 new jobs per month. Our economy is growing at the fastest rate we have seen in nearly 40 years. Our recovery is unique in the world. We are the only developed country in the world whose economy is now bigger than it was before the pandemic. While this is all good news, i know many americans are still struggling to make it through each and every day. For too many it is harder and harder to pay the bills, food, gas, rent, Health Care. I get it. We still have a Long Way To Go to get the economy where it needs to be. As ive said for a long time, coming out of this economic crisis as deep as The One were in was never going to be easy, but were doing it and we can continue to do it. Covid Supply Chain issues, bad actors seeking to profit off the pandemic are all contributing to the challenges were facing. Thats why ive made getting covid under control my top priority for my first day as president. Everything, everything from our public health to our economy depends on this. We made enormous progress against the virus through the summer, and now we put ourselves in a strong position to battle this delta variant. Thats why the actions i proposed on vaccines last week are so critical. Im requiring federal workers to get vaccinated, requiring Health Care workers to be vaccinated, requiring employers with over 100 employees to institute vaccine and or test protocols, calling on them to be able to know what their employees are doing before they walk through the door. Calling for Vaccine Or Test requirements to enter big venues, and a whole series of steps i propose to protect our kids in schools. Wall street firms have analyzed the impact of these plans and theyre projecting that these new requirements will help 12 Million more americans get vaccinated which will help more businesses stay open and more americans back to work. The data shows that overwhelming majority of americans agree with my proposal. That is no surprise given that 76 of american adults have already gotten at least one shot. But were facing a lot of pushback, especially from some of the republican governors. The governors of florida and texas are doing everything they can to undermine the Life Saving Requirements that i have proposed. Some of the same governors attacking me are in states with the strictest vaccine mandates for children attending school in the entire country. For example, in mississippi children are required to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, hepatitis b, polio, tetanus and more. These are state requirements. But in the midst of a pandemic that has already taken over 660,000 lives i propose a requirement for covid vaccines and the governor of that state calls it, quote, a Tyranicaltype Move. A Tyranicaltype Move . This is the worst kind of politics because it is putting the lives of citizens of their states, especially children, at risk. I refuse to give in to it. Thinks policies are what the science tells us we need to do. Theyre going to save lives. They will protect our economic recovery as well and allow the economy to continue to grow. Were also going after the bad actors and pandemic profiteers in our economy. Theres lots of evidence that Gas Prices should be going down but they havent. Were taking a close look at that. Taxpayers in this country also have paid for extraordinary effort to keep our country going over the past year or so, unlike the last administration which resisted oversight and allowed taxpayers to be victimized by fraud, we are working hard to protect vulnerable americans from having their identity stolen. As a consequence, their Unemployment Check stolen as well. We are going to go after organized criminals that defraud America Or Misuse covid funds. Look, were also taking a closer look at places in our economy where fewer and fewer corporate giants are controlling more and more of the marketplace in the areas they work. Just look at agriculture and the food industry. A very small number of giant corporations now dominate the market, which gives them the ability to drive up prices because they face so little competition. As we work to build Health Care competition in our economy and crack down on bad actors, the american Rescue Plan, which we passed in march, is still working to give Hardworking Americans, hardworking people some relief. One of the best examples of that relief is the expansion of the Child Tax Credit which in effect is essentially a historic Tax Cut for families with children. Just yesterday 39 Million Working Moms and dads got their direct payment. That money is going to help cover groceries, the mortgage, new pairs of shoes, all of the things that kids need. It is a Tax Cut for working families. So were working to provide as much relief as we can right now to american families, but here is the truth. Yes, the pandemic has caused a lot of economic problems in the country, but the fact is our economy faced challenges long before the pandemic struck. Working people were struggling to make it long before the pandemic arrived. Big corporations and the very wealthy were doing very well before the pandemic. Thats why ive said starting back in my campaign for president that it is not enough to just build back, we have to build back better than before. Thats how it all begins. Big corporations and the super wealthy have to start paying their fair share of taxes. It is long overdue. Im not out to punish anyone. Im a capitalist. If you can make A Million or A Billion dollars, thats great, God Bless You. All im asking is that you pay your fair share. Pay your fair share. Just like Middle Class folks do. But that isnt happening now. Today in this country right now the top 1 , for example, evade an estimated 160 Billion in taxes that they owe each year. Not new taxes, taxes that they owe. The way it works is this. If you are a typical american like i suspect most of the press people sitting in front of me here who pay your taxes, why . Because you get a w2 form. It comes in the mail every year. The irs gets that information as well. Your taxes get deducted from your paycheck and you pay what is owed beyond that. Thats why 99 of working people pay the taxes they owe. But thats not how it works for people with tens of millions of dollars. They play by a different set of rules and theyre often not employees themselves. So the irs cant see what they make and cant tell if theyre cheating. Thats how many of the top 1 get away with paying virtually no in. It is estimated by serious economists that that number is about 160 Billion collectively owed each year that doesnt get paid. It is not an even playing field. My plan would help solve that. For example, it would give the irs the resources it needs to keep up with the lawyers and accountants of the super wealthy. It would ask just for two pieces of information from the banks of these folks, that amounts that come into their Bank Accounts and what amounts go out of their Bank Accounts so that the wealthy can no longer hide what theyre making and they can finally begin to pay their fair share that they owe. That isnt about raising their taxes. It is about the super wealthy finally begins to pay what they owe, what the existing Tax Code calls for. Just like Hardworking Americans do all over this country every tax day. Look, like i said just a few minutes ago, 55 of the most profitable corporations in america paid zero in federal Income Taxes on what amounted to 40 Billion in profit. Not a penny. Thats not right. My economic plan will change that. Not punish anybody, just make them pay their fair share. But my republican friends in congress dont want to change the law, so what are they doing . Theyre attacking me and my plan, which is fine. But if were going to have a debate, lets have an honest debate. My republican friends are attacking my plan saying it is big spending. Let me remind you these are the same folks who just four years ago passed the trump Tax Cut totaling almost 2 Trillion in Tax Cuts, a giant giveaway to the largest corporations and the top 1 . In listening to this, almost none of that 2 Trillion Tax Cut was paid for. It just ballooned the federal deficit. In fact, the unpaid bills ranked up racked up by the last administration are projected to increase the national debt by more than 8 Trillion over time. What im proposing is totally different from that approach for three reasons. First, my plan is paid for. It is fiscally responsible because our investments are paid for by making sure the corporations and wealthy americans pay their fair share. Second, were not going to raise taxes on anyone making under 400,000. Thats a lot of money. Some of my liberal friends are saying it should be lower than that, but only corporations and people making over 400,000 a year are going to pay any additional tax. Third, not only will No One making under 400,000 see their taxes go up, the Middle Class are going to get some Tax Cuts, some breaks. My plan benefits ordinary americans, not those at the top who dont need the help. It is a historic Middle Class Tax Cut, cutting taxes for over 50 Million families. My republican friends are making a different choice though. They would rather protect the Tax Breaks of those at the very top than give Tax Breaks to working families. It is that simple. But let me ask you this. Where is it written all of the Tax Breaks in the american Tax Code go to corporations and the very top . I think it is enough. Im tired of it. For me it is pretty simple. It is about time working people got the Tax Breaks in this country. Thats what my plan does. Here is what it also does. When asking big corporations and the very wealthy to pay their fair share, it makes it possible to invest in america. To invest in the american people. According to leading economists, forecasters like moodys and leading financial institutions, my plan will create make us great jobs, make us more competitive, and grow our economy and lessen, not increase, inflationary pressure. I dont know if it has been handed out today, but, by the way, 15 nobel laureates in economics released a Letter Yesterday arguing that exact same point. They said, and i quote, and this is from 15 nobel laureates in economics. Quote, because this agenda, The One im talking about, mine, because this agenda invests in longterm economic capacity and will enhance the ability of more americans to participate productively in the economy, it will ease longterm Inflationary Pressures. It will ease it. Let me highlight a few provisions of my plan. I know this is long and i apologize but it is important i think. My plan lowers the cost of Daycare And Child Care And Elder care for families, and the added benefit of allowing millions of people, mostly women who are not able to go back to work because of very young Family Members or elderly people theyre taking care of, allow them to go back to work. It is estimated in the Millions Cant go back. It lowers Health Care premium it for mmms of families. It lowers Prescription Drug Cost by Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices, and it strengthens medicare by adding dental g, Vision And Hearing coverage if you are on medicare. It also extends a Tax Cut for families with kids that we passed in the american Rescue Plan in march. All of this will mean thousands of dollars in saefvings for the average american family on some of the toughest and most important bills they have to pay every month. My republican friends talk about inflation, but if you want to talk about actually lowering the cost of living for people in this country my plan does just that. By strengthening the capacity of our economy while Aulso Reducin Inflationary Pressures over the long run. Here is something else my plan does. It confronts the crisis of Extreme Weather Ee Vvent we are seeing around us and around the world, but just here in america. We see it everywhere. We know it is real. In just the past few weeks, and theres more to come, i have teen the destruction of hurricanes in louisiana where winds got up to gusts at 179 miles and hour. A deadly toll from flooding in New York where 20 inches of rain and in New Jersey more than 11 inches of rain in some areas. More than 5 Million acres of our lands and communities have burned to the ground in wildfires just this year alone. Thats more than the size of the entire state of New Jersey burned to the ground. When i was out in california i flew over some of these areas. In addition, theres a severe drought in the west and the midwest. Theres a Blinking Code Red out there for the nation. We cant wait to act. Extreme weather just last year cost the american people 99 Billion in damage. 99 Billion in damage last year. Unfortunately, were likely to break that record this year. The evidence is overwhelming that every dollar we invest in resilience saves 6 down the road when the next fire doesnt spread as widely or the Power Station holds up against the storm. We need to build with resilience, resilience in mind, so roads are built heavy, levies are made stronger, Transmission Lines are better protected and so much more. You know, i hope we are past debating Climate Change in this country. Now we have to act and we have to act fast. My plan does that. Let me end with this. This pained has been god awful for so many reasons, the lost lives of 660,000, the jobs, the businesses lost, the lost time in school for our kids, but it does present us with an opportunity. We can build an economy that gives working people a fair shot this time. We can restore some Sanity And Fairness to our Tax Code. We can make the investments that we know are long overdue in this nation. Thats exactly what my bipartisan Infrastructure Plan does. I should say our bipartisan Infrastructure Plan does. Investments in roads, bridges, highways, clean water in every home and every school, universal broadband, quality affordable places for families to live, and we can invest in our people, giving our families a little help with their toughest expenses like daycare, child care, elder care, Prescription Drugs, Health Care, preparing the young people to compete against any country in the world with preschool and Community College. We can confront this crisis of Extreme Weather and Climate Change, and not only protect our communities but create new opportunities, new industries and new jobs. In short, this is an opportunity to be the nation that we know we can be, a nation where all of us, all of us, not just those at the top, are getting a share of the benefits of a growing economy in the years ahead. Lets not squander this moment trying to preserve an economy that hasnt worked too well for americans for a long time. Lets not look backward just trying to rebuild what we had. Lets look forward together as one america, not to build back but to build back better. Thank you all very much and God Bless You all and may god protect our troops. Thank you. President biden there from the White House making another pitch for his 3. 5 trillion Reconciliation Plan that is making its way through congress. Of course, we know some of the conservative moderate democrats are pushing back on that number. Also had as you heard there for the bipartisan Infrastructure Plan. He calls this an Inflection Moment in the u. S. He also says it is a moment to bring working people back into the economy but, of course, the Sausage Making as we have talked about during this show continues. Lets talk about all of this with cnn chief national Affairs Correspondent jeff zeleny. We also have cnn Congressional Correspondent Jessica Dean and catherine rampell, a columnist for the Washington Post and Cnn Economist and political commentator. Jeff, i want to start with you at the White House. President biden has been remarkably consistent on this since taking office. He believes the top 1 and corporations should, as he says, pay their fair share which are higher taxes he thinks, and that Middle Class and Working Class families are getting the, you know, basically short end of the stick with all of this. But who is his audience . Who does he keep having to make this case to . Reporter alisyn, he is trying to reframe the kf conversation, but his audience by and large is to the american people but specifically to democrats in congress. His issue now are the democrats who have not yet agreed to really the Size Or Scope of this Signatu Signature Piece of legislation, some 3. 5 trillion. If you want to boil it down his audience is Senator Joe Man chained Senator Kyrsten Sinema of West Virginia and arizona respectively. They were here at the White House yesterday. They represent the moderate wing of the democratic party. They do not believe this Price Tag is in line with what it should be. They think it it is too expense. President biden is trying to remind people why he was elected. This should not come as a Spri Surprise to anyone. He ran on this, said it endlessly on the ecampaign trai. Sisterin certainly theyre not going to get republican votes on this larger part of the plan. They are on the smaller Infrastructure Plan, but it is essentially rallying his own democratic party, both In The House and senate, to get behind this bill and to do it now. This is a critical stretch. The next few weeks are absolutely critical for him getting this economic agenda through. So essentially trying to remind everyone of that. Jessica dean on capitol hill, this was a speech of mostly values and priorities, a few specifics, some numbers there about the plan but not many. As the president tries to speak to that audience of moderates, how far apart are the Whoite House and those who are holding out on the specifics of the plan . Reporter we have heard from Senator Joe Manchin. He would like to see it at 1 trillion, 1. 5 trillion, thats a number he is more comfortable with. Thats a wide spectrum between that and 3. 5 trillion. Yes, the moderates are key in all of this, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema being two of the most publicfacing members of that wing of The Party, but also the progressives who really see this 3. 5 trillion number as a huge compromise. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi needs them on board. We talk about this all the time, that Threevote Margin she has In The House. She needs that wing of progressives to also get on board, so it is quite the Balancing Act as to the Size And Scope of all of this and what the priorities are. As Speaker Nancy Pelosi said to us just last week, where do we cut if we start cutting . So they are looking at that, but it is interesting to see. Just yesterday we saw as the committees were marking up these bills, really putting together the nittygritty of this legislation, one of the key components is Prescription Drug prices and we saw moderate democrats voting against that. That makes up about 700 Billion of funding that theyre looking for in this bill. Thats a huge chunk of chain. Again, Victor And A. M. Lisyn, it the Push And Pull of this party. They have to be in lock step. They need all 50 senators on board and they have the tiny margin In The House. It will be interesting to see in the next couple of weeks as they furiously go back and forth, trying to figure out how to get as much of the president s alleged in there and get everybody on board to get this thing through. Catherine, back to Raising Taxes on who the president considers the uber wealthy and corporations, why is that such a tough sell . Why is it a tough sell for people like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema . West virginia and arizona are not states known for super wealthy, doesnt that resonate with their voters . You would think so. The idea of Raising Taxes on the wealthy is broadly speaking a popular idea. Of course, the overall democratic party has been steadily changing the threshold for who counts as rich. Biden has said only those making over 400,000 as rich. Obama said it was over 250,000. Aoc, she of the infamous Tax The Rich Ball Gown said a few days ago really the rich are the billionaires and hundred millionaires, few of whom presumably are in West Virginia. Theyre more likely to be in places like New York and california. I think what this is about is wanting to appear as moderate. They dont these particular democrats that you mentioned, manchin and sinema, dont want to be seen as, you know, these Ultra Left soaktherich members of their party, so theyre trying to stakeout territory that make it them seem more moderate. Theyre not the socialists, right. Theyre The Ones there for moderation. I think what is ironic about some of this is even some of the specific provisions that they are objecting to for example, manchin has criticized the corporate Tax Rate. The architect of the trump Tax Cuts has said is acceptable. Gary cohn, the former economic adviser to President Trump, has said repeatedly he thinks a Tax Rate as high as 28 would be competitive in the united states yet manchin has objected to it. Jeff, the context in which the president puts his plan, as you said many times, from the Middle Class out that the economy will grow, and recent polling from cnn shows that this is regardless of Party Affiliation a serious concern. Lets put up the numbers. Of those asked if theyre kind about the economy in their community, 70 of democrats, 76 of independents, 85 of republicans. So this is a significant concern not just nor the White House but for those democrats who will be back on the ballot in november of 2022. Reporter it absolutely is. This is at the heart of this plan. This is the of course, the biden argument, the biden Administrations Argument for why all of these plans are necessary. He said quite simply there, it is not acceptable to return to a prepandemic economy because, quite frankly, it was not working for most americans. So as catherine was saying, a lot of these issues by and large have majority support. The bigger challenge right now for President Biden is corralling his own party behind this. Again, republicans have a different fillphilosophical vie this. There suddenly is a lot more complaining about the deficit. We did not hear that during the Trump Administration, during the trump Tax Cut conversation. So we have to divide this here. But right now this is a conversation that President Biden is trying to have with democrats. I was struck though. He didnt really talk much about what was in the proposal. Yeah. As jessica was saying, what are you going to throw out. We are talking about Hearing Aids for medicaid recipients, dental, vision, prek, Community College, so these are a lot of programs that would such, you know, most americans lives and improve the lot for several of them. I think it was a speech designed to kick off the conversation again, but the challenge is going to be somewhat going to be thrown out of this. You know, is it Hearing Aids, is it vision, is it dental, is it prek, is it Community College . Thats where these negotiations, which are going to happen over the next couple of weeks, are going to get interesting and complicated for The Party. Then, jessica, in the next couple of weeks theres the perennial favorite topic of the Debt Ceiling needing to be raised. Senator Mitch Mcconnell has basically staked out the positi position were not going to do it or republicans are not going to help with that. Obviously during the Trump Administration they recognized that the united States Cant Default on their debts, so where does that leave us . Right. Well, the democrats have limited options right now as theyre looking around trying to figure out how to sort through the debt limit situation. As you point out, alisyn, they raised it in the past when President Trump was President And Majority Leader Chuck Schumer mentioned that to us just jyesterday. He said, we all came together in a bipartisan way then. The Bottom Line is the Debt Ceiling has to be lifted so the united states does not default. This could cause, as the Treasury Secretary Janet yellen has said, irreparable damage to the domestic economy but also the international economy. Theres a lot riding on this. Politically and strategically democrats are thinking the best way to do this is to roll it into the continuing resolution, the cr, which is also just the budget, and hope they can get the votes they need. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told me it is not going in reconciliation, although we heard from Leader Schumer and he was a little more vague, didnt say directly what their plan is. We know that they are talking with the White House, that theyre talking to each other. In fact, we also know that President Biden is speaking with House Speaker pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck schumer today. This definitely coming up, and this is very critical. Remember, while theyre dealing with all of this, that is taking time away. They also need to be dealing with this massive economic package and almost funding the government. So theres just a lot at play right now. Catherine, in 2019 Mitch Mcconnell said that there was zero chance, no chance at all that congress would not raise the Debt Ceiling because they know that the full Faith And Credit of the u. S. Government was on the line. Now he is saying, well, democrats can handle it, im not bluffing. Weve got this letter from the Business Round Table to leaders in congress. The Treasury Secretary now trying to call Mitch Mcconnell to say, you have to do this. This used to be marginalia in the republican party, not lifting the Debt Ceiling. How did it get to the center of the republican party and the impact if it is not raised . Republicans have been taking the Debt Ceiling hostage for years now. Im old enough to remember in 2011 when there was a showdown over the Debt Ceiling by republicans. They would not raise the Debt Ceiling and, again, put the entire global economy on the verge of a financial crisis. They wouldnt do it then. Since then, of course, The Party has gotten crazier. I think democrats should take Mitch Mcconnell, unfortunately, at his word. He is not consistent. Just because he was willing to raise the Debt Ceiling under a republican president doesnt mean theres any principle there that would suggest he would do the same under a democratic president shall and the brinkmanship could be real. It is unfortunate that democrats always have to be The Party thats the adult on tish because, of course, democrats also voted for raising the Debt Ceiling while trump was president. Thats where we are. I think it is kind of foolish at this point for democrats to assume that republicans will do the right thing and not bring us to the verge of financial crisis again given theyve done it before all right. Catherine rampell, Jessica Dean, jeff zeleny, thank you very much. So former President Donald Trump has just weighed in about the protests against the election results, and thats, as you know, Security Officials are preparing for this rightwing rally in d. C.

Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them.

Former President Trump has issued a statement of support for the January 6th insurrectionists. In two day as rightwing rally will be at the capitol. Demonstrators plan to demand what they call justice for people arrested in the deadly capitol attack. Now, crews started fencing off the capitol overnight. There are concerns some people at the rally may be armed. Capitol police are requesting National Guard be on stand by. And then the tsa says they are also ramping up security and cnns Pete Muntean is at washingtons reagan international airport. Jeff snyder has information about the man spearheading the rally. Pete, let me start with you. What does it look like at the airport . What is the tsa doing . Reporter the tsa says it is also on alert, but passengers will see more canines and agents. It is similar to what they too after the January 6th attack on the capitol. They recognize this as a period of high awareness and they will continue to work with Law Enforcement partners in the d. C. Region to address our Security Posture for the weekend. Remember, January 6th changed Aviation Security everywhere. Thats when the federal government put a zero Tolerance Policy in place against unruly passengers that started to become a problem after January 6th. 4,000 reports of unruly passengers since the beginning of this year and the head of the tsa told me this remains a pretty big concern. It is a big concern of mine. I know it is a big concern of every traveler out there. Nobody wants to be at 30,000plus feet and have somebody create an inflight disturbance. Reporter airlines also say they are keeping an eye on this. American airlines moved its Flight Crews from downtown d. C. Hotels after the January 6th attack. It also suspended Alcohol Service on flights to and from d. C. American says it is monitoring the situation, although it is making no new changes yet. All right, pete. Lets go to jessica now. You spoke with the organizer of this saturday rally. First, who is he and what did he have to say . Reporter well, victor, hes insisting there will be no violence and hes blasting that message out to his supporters online and over twitter, telling them specifically respect Law Enforcement. Who is the organizers . A former Trump Campaign Staffer from 2016. It was a shortlived time with the campaign, just about a few months. His name is matt brainard. He has since foul of nded a conservative group called look ahead america. He said he is organizing the event for one reason only. He says he wants to seek justice for the hundreds charged for the January 6th insurrection. He stresses to me this isnt a rally about the election and extremists looking to cause trouble, he says, are not welcome. Here is what else he told me. Weve got a largely peaceful crowd. Weve had two events in washington, d. C. So far, at the Department Of Justice and at the prison. There have been no incidents so far. No one will be bringing a weapon who will be part of our crowd. I can assure the police of that. Reporter he estimates and the department of Homeland Security confirms theyre expecting about 750 people. It takes just one to cause a problem though. Branyard is organizing rallies in 13 states. He is calling for supporters to head to State Capitals across the country if they cant make it to washington. We reached out to officials in several states. Many of us tell us theyve not heard from branyard, theyve not seen him apply for permits, but they say they will be prepared nonetheless for what may happen on saturday. He says people will not be bringing weapons, but, of course, we saw what they did in january with Hockey Sticks and flag poles and bear spray. Jessica snyder, Pete Muntean, thanks so much. The fda, a committee is going to meet tomorrow to discuss third vaccine shots, but with a little more than half of the u. S.

The agency predicts new Daily Coronavirus Hospitalizations will go down between now and october 11. This is the first time that the forecast has predicted a decrease since late june. Still though, only 54 of americans are fully vaccinated and the rate of new vaccinations per day is slowing. Many of those who are vaccinated are waiting for clear guidance on when they will qualify for a Booster Shot or if they will qualify. Tomorrow the fda will meet to discuss whether it is time for some people to get that third shot. Dr. Ollie khan joins us now. He is dean of the university of Nebraska Center of college of medical health. Great to see you. I feel like we are getting ahead of ourselves with the Booster Shot. Is the problem they dont have the data yet . We keep wanting and actual concrete answer, when do we get it, who needs to get it, which, you know, Pharmaceutical Company is The One that we need to get it from . But i dont i get the impression science doesnt have the answers yes. It is always nice to chat with you, alisyn. Hello, victor. You are spot on. The administration has got themselves into a everybodys trying to parse out Immunology Data on antibodies, et cetera. Likely what youll see tomorrow is people 60 and older and people with chronic conditions may be eligible for a third dose of the existing vaccine with pfizer. Its a lot smaller confined group than everybody get a dose with every vaccine. This is a distraction. I think where victor had the question leading into the segment was spot on. The focus should not be on getting a third dose to those already vaccinated. The focus needs to be on adults who havent gotten a single dose. Thats whats driving this pandemic. Vaccines are very effective in keeping you from getting hospitalized and dying, which is pretty critical. The question of how effective this third shot will be for those already vaccinated versus the overall trajectory of hospitalizations, cases and deaths what should we expect as this Booster Campaign rolls out . My expectation is depending on how many are eligible for boosters, they already got permission last month to get theyr their third dose. If you want to have an impact on this papadondemic, get those 6 that are unvaccinated. That is a perfect segue to nicki minaj. Nicki minaj has 22 Million followers or Social Media. She has a cousin in trinidad who has a friend who she says got the vaccine and got a Side Effect so delicate that the k cousins Friends Sfiance had t cancel their wedding. Anybody who has anything happen in the two weeks after the vaccine thinks, aha, its the vaccine. They connect it. The problem is good health officials like yourself and the Health Minister of trinidad have to chase this down. Heres what he had to say . As far as we know at this point in time, there has been no such reported Side Effect or adverse event. What was sad about this is that it wasted our time yesterday trying to track down, because we take all these claims seriously. So he says he had to waste time to do a fact check on this. Thoughts . This is how Misinformation And Disinformation spreads, through Social Media out into our communities. Its understandable that people two events happen and people try to connect them. I have a friend who got married two weeks after he got vaccinated. Was his Marriage Due to his vaccination . Well never know. In this case, we need to worry about whether or not she was being disingenuous because we heard from the minister who said they cant find this individual who apparently had this Side Effect, recognizing theres no Side Effects on fertility in women and men. Over 5 Billion doses given, weve had lots of data to address this question. She personally has not been vaccinated because shes waiting on research. When she gets a phd in Im Immunology shell know. I dont know that this Cousins Friend wants to be found based on the Side Effect mentioned in the tweet. I dont know if youd come out and do a tv interview, but maybe. Thank you. Always a pleasure. Remember, get vaccinated and mask on. This seemed appropriate for today. What is it . Looney tunes. Thank you. Great to see you. Cheers. The South Carolina Murder mystery just gets deeper and deeper as the man at the center of it all has turned himself in, but for alleged Insurance Fraud. There is so much going on here. Whats The Next Step for Alex Murdoch . Hands to the sky, all mine woah, woah no Ceiling Woah woah good feeling woah woah i might send it up without my medication, my small tremors would be extreme. I was diagnosed with parkinsons. I had to retire from Law Enforcement. It was devastating. One of my medications is Three Thousand Dollars per month. Prescription drugs do not work if you cannot afford them. Aarp is fighting for americans like larry, and we wont stop. Thats why were calling on congress to let medicare negotiate lower Prescription Drug prices. Limu Emu Doug got a couple of bogeys on your six, limu. They need customized Car Insurance from Liberty Mutual so they only pay for what they need. What do you say we see what this bird can do . Woooooooooooooo. We are not getting you a helicopter. Looks like were walking, kid. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. The South Carolina Attorney accused of hiring a Hit Man to kill him in a Suicide Life Insurance scam is under arrest. Alex murdoch is his name. He turned himself in just a couple of hours ago. Hes accused of hiring a former client to shoot him in the head so murdochs son could collect on a 10 Million insurance policy. Murdochs attorney says he has been abusing opioids to cope with the murder of his wife and son. Martin savage has the latest on this twisted story. Reporter there are so many turns in this. Right now the next turn is about to begin maybe in about an hour. Thats when we anticipate that Alex Murdoch is going to appear before a judge on the charge of Insurance Fraud in which he alleged hires a Hit Man to kill himself so that his son could benefit from the 10 Million life insurance policy. It all went awry when the Hit Man didnt kill Alex Murdoch, but instead wounded him. He could be out on bond later today. Then theres the investigation into Gloria Satterfield. Theyre looking into the death of the housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield who in 2018 on the Murdoch Property tripped and fell reportedly and as a result died. There are questions now being raised by the coroner here as to the improper reporting about that death because it was listed as natural causes. On top of that, theres questions about how the lawsuit subsequently was handled and that murdoch was able to steer it in his favor. This is the attorney from the Satterfield Family making just that claim. Dont kid yourself. This is a murdoch office. They control the civil Court System down there. They control the criminal Court System. They know all of the jurors because theyve woven themselves into the fabric of the town. This is a very, very powerful family. Reporter that is one of the overarching themes here, that the Murdoch Family so closely associated with Law Enforcement for so long could perhaps have in some way interfered with investigations. Theres no proof of that yet. It just gets twistier and twistier. Thank you for the reporting. Its the top of the hour. Good to be with you.
