fbi was investigating and also instructing that rioter to delete social media posts documenting their time inside the capitol building so this is capitol police officer michael angelo riley. he's now facing two counts of obstruction, one for instructing the rioter to take down facebook posts and another charge for deleting his own facebook messages with that accused rioter, so this indictment details how officer riley first sent a friend request to that accused rioter on december 1st but they were both members of phishing-related facebook groups and one day after the insurrection the indictment says officer riley reached out with this message after seeing some of the alleged rioter's facebook posts saying this. hi, i'm a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance. take down the part about being in the building. they are currently investigating and everyone who is in the building is going to be charged. just looking out. well, their communications allegedly continued for several more days including, according to the indictment, a 23-minute phone call between the two in mid-january. it was on january 19th the capitol rioter was arrested, and the rioter, a day later actually revealed to the capitol police officer that he had told the fbi that he had been in this communication with the officer. that is when the officer presumably got spooked. he allegedly deleted all of the facebook messages between himself and the accused rioter, and then he tried to cease all communications but at that point it was too late. investigators had the information and now this capitol police officer, ana, is arrested in court right now facing these serious charges of obstruction. we did just get a statement from capitol police. they do say the department was notified about the investigation several weeks ago and officer riley has since been placed on administrative leave, but serious charges for a 25-year veteran of the capitol police force now in court facing these charges at this hour. ana. >> as you pointed out, he's on administrative leave. jessica schneider, thanks for breaking it down for us. i want to get legal expertise. norm eisen served as special counsel during presume's first impeachment trial and also former white house ethics czar and also former u.s. ambassador. this is a capitol police officer with 25 years of experience and in this indictment it shows how he allegedly helped a capitol rioter essentially destroy evidence. what's your reaction to this? >> ana, thanks for having me back. it's very disturbing. the fact that this one bad apple that we know of so far, there could be other isolated incidents, but that fact must not detract from the overwhelming heroism of most of the capitol police and the metropolitan police and the others who responded to the terrible events incited by ex-president trump of january 6th. however, reason this one is too many, and ana, it shows you how deep this rot of the big lie that trump pushed, how deep it runs if even one of those entrusted to guard the capitol is affected by it, but then last week we saw the minority of the senate judiciary committee also whitewashing trump's big lie, so, you know, the cancer is spreading. >> and no one is immune clearly. i mean this, message that jessica schneider just read verbatim from the indictment in the court documents came on january 7th, the very day after the attack. i mean, how many -- what's the penalty for charges like this? >> well, the penalties are severe for or trucks of justice, and here it includes -- can include substantial fines, can even include jail time. that will be for the court to determine after a trial. we have to remember, ana, everyone, even those -- that's the hallmark of a rule of law system. even those that we have accuses of the most heinous crimes entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, but if proven guilt or if the capitol police officer pleads guilty, jail time potentially, fines, that will be up to the court, including assessing whether there was any remorse, a prior record and all of the prior bad acts and all of the other issues that may come into play here. but this is serious! when the guardians themselves are part of the insurrection, that is serious. >> these were private facebook messages so they are fully documented. does this make this a slam dunk case for prosecutors? >> you know, ana, one of the things that saved our democracy, and we know from the 1/6 committee's work from the senate majority of the senate judiciary committee last week and so many other sources, we now know how close we came to a coup and one thing that saved us this is a gang that can't shoot straight, the clumsiness of it, so leaving the evidence then, deleting the bad evidence, you know, it is a -- it is a set of proof. ana, it's like the president's own apparent alleged solicitation of election fraud in georgia. remember, he called the georgia of secretary of state, we have a tape of that, same thing with these facebook messages. incompetent alleged criminals. >> norm eisen, don't go anywhere. i want to ask you about another development because, remember, we have two separate investigations happening right now. there's the doj investigation in which these new charges were just filed. there's also the house committee investigating the attack on the capitol. that is now moving forward with criminal contempt proceedings against trump ally steve bannon. the political strategist snubbed a subpoena to testify yesterday at the direction apparently of his former boss. cnn senior legal affairs correspondent paula reed is here to walk us through this. how can you lay out the path for us going forward? >> well, it's a lengthy process and not one that's commonly invoked but will start with a meeting tuesday night where lawmakers will compile a report detailing how they sought bannon's testimony and how he refused. that will then move on to the house for a vote, and if it's successful it moves to the justice department where things could potentially get complicated. it's supposed to go to a u.s. attorney with the expectation that the u.s. attorney will put it before a grand jury, but it's ultimately up to the attorney general-maker garland, if he wants to move forward on this, and at this point it's just not clear what he's going to do. now bannon has argued repeatedly that he will not comply unless ordered to do so by a court. he notes he's been directed by former president trump not to cooperate because he wants to raise issues of privilege. now the committee flatly rejects that action. >> remind us the results of a criminal conviction. >> if convicted he could be looking at a fine and/or jail time. again, this is incredibly rare but i'm told by lawyers friendly to the former president, they said, look, jail time is a real possibility here if convicted. ana, there's another possibility here which is if he's prosecuted, he may not be convicted, and that is certainly very different than the message that the committee is intending to send here and something like that could certainly empolleden others who are thinking about not cooperating in this investigation. >> paula reed, as always, thank you. let's bring back norm eisen now. ambassador eisen, if the house does vote in support of the criminal contempt resolution, it would be up to attorney general ultimately-maker garland to decide whether to prosecute bannon. how much goes into that decision? >> well, it's a weighty decision like any criminal charging decision, ana, and, of course, when i worked on the impeachment, we were involved in the house side of those deliberations. civil contempt resolution against don mcgahn and the attorney general barr himself, the prior attorney general, was the subject of one. here though it doesn't seem like a very close case for attorney general garland. the notion that bannon is even covered by executive privilege. he left the administration in 2017, ana. you can't use privileges for alleged frauds or crimes. this is an insurrection against the united states, and donald trump is not the president. the decision about whether the privilege applies in the first case, the threshold issue, is up to joe biden. joe biden has not asserted the privilege for bannon so there's no legal basis not to show up, and attorney general garland was a judge. he's a law man. i think he's going to look at these facts and say this is not a close call. put a grand jury together. charge him. >> and then, of course, it's the question of showering that going to take? that aside. let me ask you about whether this committee should call trump and subpoena him because the chair of the committee, bennie thompson, was asked about whether they would do that. here's how he responded. >> i want to be precise. are you ruling out or ruling in the possibility of eventually subpoenaing trump? >> well, i would say this at this point, wolf. nobody is off limits to a subpoena to this committee. >> nobody is off limits. should the committee go after trump directly? >> the chairman was articulating the bedrock principle of american law, ana. no one is above the law. i think that the committee needs to make that decision after it has collected some of this initial evidence. needs to see what happens with bannon. the other subpoenas, there are 17 other subpoenas pending. that's part of the reason that it's important to prosecute bannon so the others won't be scofflaws. i think that they need to give it a little bit of time. they are moving quickly, but this decision is so momentous. let's see how the next couple of weeks go and then make the call. my own judgment, yes, we must hear from the insurrectionist in chief, the one who threatened our elections and our democracy and, aprila, he's still spreading the big lie with all the damage that it does. >> yeah, yeah, he is. >> so why wait is my question because you know that trump has a history of stonewalling, of trying to make sure this gets up in litigation. the delay tactic has worked for him so why wait? >> well, i have the bruise from running into that stonewall over and over again while i was co-counsel on the impeachment, but when you -- when you subpoena a president, such a momentous decision, you need to be able to enforce the subpoena which means you've got to be ready to go to court. i think the court is going to want to see that you've laid the foundation. i'm not saying wait months or years. they are moving with extraordinary speed, ana, in this committee. it's a shock and awe, subpoena shock and awe campaign but lay the foundation so that you can assure the public and the courts if it comes to it, hey, i built the case. here's why we need the president. we can wait a few more weeks but not too much longer for that decision. >> norm eisen, thanks so much for being with us. really appreciate. thanks for your expertise. happy friday. right now, another major meeting under way on covid booster shotts shots. this time an fda panel is discussing whether to green light a second dose for the johnson & johnson vaccine. plus, a firestorm erupting after a texas school official tells teachers that they must balance books about the holocaust with opposing views as if there is an opposing view to genocide, and the justice department says it will ask the supreme court to step in after an appeals court reinstates the controversial texas abortion law. what h happens now?

>> i think today we can expect, ana, that they will also recommend a booster for those who got johnson & johnson, and it is possible that it will even be earlier, that maybe people who got it just say two months ago should be getting a booster now, that you don't have to wait the six months as has been instructed with moderna and pfizer. also, this booster may not be for everyone. even if you are the required amount of time after the original vaccination for pfizer and moderna, you still had to be over 65 or have other kind of high-risk things going on. so let's take a look at something that the head of this fda advisory committee said to me. he thinks that a booster for j&j is especially important after arnold monteau told me it's critical to get the j&j people more protected. they are starting at a lower level of protection. here's what the doctor meant by that. moderna and pfizer soon after their vaccination, folks were 94%, 95% protected against getting sick from covid-19 but soon after the johnson & johnson vaccine it was 72%. 72% is still a god vaccine, but it's not as good as moderna and pfizer's, so i think there's more of a feeling of urgency that a second shot is especially important for those who got johnson & johnson. now, ana, you mentioned mixing and matching. these vaccine experts will hear about a study where some people got pfizer and then as a booster got moderna and then as a booster got johnson & johnson and all of the possible combinations. what they found was that it worked and that it was safe and that actually folks who got johnson & johnson, they were actually better off getting a booster from pfizer or moderna rather than getting another johnson & johnson shot of the right now this is a relatively small study. just under discussion. there will be no recommendations today about mixing and matching. ana? >> elizabeth cohen, thank you. we'll eel stay on top of that meeting. we're also staying on top of news involving former president bill clinton who is currently in a southern california icu for an urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream. i want to get right to sara sidner there in southern california for us. we're learning that president biden will speak with clinton later today. what is the latest on clinton's condition? >> reporter: you know, we are hearing from jamie gangel who has been talking with his spokespeople that he is on the mend, that he is feeling good, that he's very thankful to the doctors here. he came in on tuesday night. he was feeling some fatigue, and then he was meeting with friends and then he ended up having to come to the hospital here and has been here the whole time since tuesday night in the icu, intensive care unit but doctors say he doesn't necessarily need to be in the icu, but for privacy and security, that is why he is in the icu, not for physical reasons. i'm going to let you get a shot of the scene here because we have seen a flurry of activity this morning where we're seeing the large suvs that you see there with members of the secret service who have been coming in and out, and we've seen them sort of with their doors open and people going in. we are waiting to hear what the status of former president clinton is, whether or not they are going to keep him here longer for observation or not. he has been given intravenous fluids as well as antibiotics to try to clear up the infection in his bloodstream which can be, by the way, be very dangerous, can be fatal if not taken care of, sepsis that came from a urinary tract infection, according to doctors. indeed the news is that he is on the mend, and they are hoping to have him out of here in the next hopefully few hours, maybe day or so. >> okay. it's good to hear that the news is he's on the mend. sara sidner. thank you. let's bring in dr. matthew, former president clinton has had former issues with quadruple bypass surgery and two accidents inserted to open an artery. that was in 2010. we understand it's not related to this current situation but just how serious is this? >> any time an older male has a urinary tract infection i'm very quick as a doctor to figure out the source. you see, it's more common for women to have two or three infections during the year, but when a male comes in with a bladder infection, i want to find the source. is it coming from the prostate? is it coming from the kidney? you want to act immediately because these patients can go into sepsis which is if you will bacteria that goes through the bloodstream that can infect the kidneys. it can also infect other organs and people can die, and always something else that we're taught in medical school, ana, is older men don't present like younger people so if they have a bladder infection, they may be fatigued. i've got patient's kids that will call me and say, doctor, dad has been delirious, altered mental status so you want to have a high suspicion. act quickly, do blood cultures and order antibiotics and follow the patient regularly. >> okay. so that -- let's put that story to bed for a moment because i want to ask you about the pandemic as well. new cdc data shows that unvaccinated adults face an 11 times higher risk of dying from covid than fully vaccinated adults. 11 times, doctor. there are still 66 million americans who are unvaccinate who had are eligible to get the vaccine. if this doesn't convince them to get a shot, what will? >> yeah, ana, you and i have spoken so many times about different stories that we can share. i just saw a 41-year-old male in shape, athlete no, asthma, no diabetes, was intubated three times after getting covid. i saw him eight months later, he still has brain fog. he was supposed to get married to his fiancee. he has two kids and he's now seeing a neurologist, pulmonologist and i'm his primary care physician and i'm actually applying for disability. there's no doubt in my mind now 18 months into the pandemic. there's two groups of patients. those that are unvaccinated and those that are vaccinated. my unvaccinated patients are falling sick. a lot of them are having long covid like this gentlemen and the people who are vaccinated, yes, to be fair, they are having breakthrough infections. they are healing and recovering at home. they are not going into the hospital and dying. >> yeah. huge, huge difference there. i've got to get your thoughts on the new announcement from the white house today allowing fully vaccinated foreign visitors to enter the u.s. starting november 8th. now unvaccinated foreigners will be broadly barred from entering. this is another vaccine man tate of sorts. do you agree with the biden administration's approach on this? >> i mean, i think that people coming in from other countries absolutely should be vaccinated. we've had difficulty convincing 60 million people in this country to get vaccinated as well emi'm not 100% sure for barring entry for those that are unvaccinated. that may be a bit unfair. we should require a covid test, 28 to 48 hours before they come into the country and then maybe they get tested once they arrive, but i still think though that the whole goal here is making sure people are vaccinated or people are tested regularly beforing into our country. >> doctor, thanks for seeing you. thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks, ana. on the road and on the stump. just minutes from now, president biden speaks in hartford, connecticut. he's there to sell his massive build back better agenda and specifically highlighting how much families could save under his universal child care proposal. his salesmanship may face its toughest test among fellow democrats, especially given the divisions pitting moderates against progressives. cnn's kaitlan collins joins us now from the white house. kaitlan, where does the white house think they are in the negotiations? >> reporter: well, ana, they keep say that they are making progress and that negotiations are happening behind the scenes, they they have been very hesitant to detail what those are, publicly talking about the calls that the president has had with the two key moderates who have been at the center of this standoff among democrats in congress. senator sinema and senator manchin. we know that president biden has spoken with both of them this week and senator sinema has made clear to the white house what exactly it is that she's looking fwhor it comes to an agreement on this proposal and so, of course, the white house says that progress is being made, but there are real questions about just how much progress is being made because we know that based on a call that happened this week that manchin and sinema were on, it's far from clear that they are anywhere near an agreement on this. senator sinema said on that call according to our colleague manu raju she would be hesitant to endorse any final reconciliation package, the bigger social safety net and climate change package unless there was first a vote in the house on the infrastructure deal, the hard infrastructure deal. of course, we know that's what progressive have said is going to be the holdup because they want an agreement on the bigger package. president biden is selling this on the road today, but he's also still very much trying to get support here in washington for it, and just to give you a sense of how far away they could be on an agreement. we've not seen an agreement on a top line number. joe manchin says his number is 1.5 trillion. they have not come to any kind of agreement on the 1.5 to 2.2 trillion with the moderates. that's a big step that they can get to before hammering out the rest of the details. >> thank you. we'll keep an eye on that shot that we see on the right side of the screen. that lectern for where the president will be speaking at the bottom of the hour. expected to talk to us before the end of the hour. stay with us for that. meantime, the controversial texas abortion law could now be headed to the supreme court. we'll have details next. hey i'm joe montana. when you get to be our age, you have little patience for nonsense and inefficiency. after years of practice you become a pro at pretty much everything. so when i qualified for medicare, i got wellcare. they're pros at making things streamlined, efficient and convenient. wellcare offers great benefits like free grocery, meal, and prescription delivery. and if you need to see a doctor, you can get in-home visits and 24/7 virtual visits. wellcare is no nonsense. just great benefits and none of the hassles.

>> after that question, how do you respond the holocaust petty responded, quote, believe me that's coming up. cnn has reached out to petty for comment but so far we haven't received a response. let's discuss this with cheryl draisen, vice president of the anti-defamation league central division in texas. she's dealing with the school district on this issue right now. just your first initial reaction to that comment. >> thank you, ana. let's be clear. there are no opposing views to the holocaust. we call that holocaust denial, and that is anti-semitic, and we will not tolerate anti-semitism in our schools. >> and so, you know, the thing that i can't believe is these are educators. the woman who made the comment is a school administrator in charge of curriculum, also in charge of instruction for the district. i mean, just the fact that this was an example that she's using regarding implementation of very new controversial texas law, what does that tell you? >> it tells us that we have -- we need to be concerned about the implementation of house bill 3979 because it led to these very dangerous instructions. history cannot be rewritten. >> critics have said that this new law, what's known as house bill 3979 as you point out is designed to whitewash history. the superintendent released a statement saying, quote, we recognize that there are not two sides of the holocaust as we continue to work through implementation of hb-3979. we also understand this bill does not require an opposing viewpoint on historical facts. as a district, we will work to add clarity to our expectations for teachers, and once again apologize for any hurt or confusion this is caused. what's up with this law, that an educator could interpret it in this way? >> that's a great question. while it's good to see the superintendent issue a clarification to make clear that there is no oppose view of the holocaust and even to say this is an unintended consequence, it's still a consequence. we're at a point in time where we're losing last remaining holocaust survivors. we are obligated to continue to tell their stories when they are no longer here. we can't allow any law to erase the holocaust from history. >> i appreciate your time. got to leave it there today. we have some breaking news that i've got to get to. a group of fda vaccine advisers just voted unanimously to recommend booster shots for the johnson & johnson vaccine. let's get right back to our cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. elizabeth, talk to us about this decision. >> you know, this decision in many ways is very similar to the decision made for pfizer and moderna, that a booster shot is useful for a set of people, people over 65, people with certain underlying medical conditions and people in certain jobs, but there is a twist here. there is something that makes this j&j decision different, and that is for pfizer and moderna, you're supposed to wait six months after your original shot, your second shot to get the booster. this one says, hey, get your booster two months after getting your original johnson & johnson. in other words, you have to be at least two months out to get a johnson & johnson booster, not six months out, two months out, and so it's not entirely clear why the difference here, but i think one of the reasons is that as members of this committee have said to me is that there have been concerns that the johnson & johnson is not as effective as pfizer and moderna. it's about 72% effective instead of around 9 the 5% effective, and there was a feeling that it ought to be boosted. it needed a second shot sooner so that people could get to a higher -- a place of higher effectiveness to prevent getting sick from covid-19, so, again, with johnson & johnson, the recommendation is that if you are two months or more out, if you had your johnson & johnson shot at least two months ago and you're over 65, you have certain underlying medical conditions and it's a very long list if you are a health care worker, if you are say in a nursing home, then you should be getting this booster. >> ana. >> and we showed the picture of president biden getting ready to speak. as soon as he speaks we'll take you there yet but he hasn't stepped forward yet. let me ask you a follow-up question so our viewers are clear about this. they shouldn't rush out and go get their johnson & johnson booster today because it hasn't cleared all the hurdles before it's a full green light, right? >> ana, that is correct. so right now this is -- this is the vote from a panel of advisers to the fda. the fda itself will look at this most likely agreeing with it and the cdc adviser, a panel of cdc advisers, external advisers to the cdc will look at it next week on thursday and then the cdc itself will look at the recommendation. there's a very good chance though that this will -- the final version will be just what we're seeing today but, still, it ent would be official until the end of next week. >> as far as mixing and matching, that's something else that they are discussing at this meeting today. i know they are not expected to vote on that, but given what the data has shown and particularly for people who may have received the japdion vaccine the first time around, is there a reason to tap the brakes on mixing and matching and whether that's going to be more beneficial? >> i don't think so much. i think if you got johnson & johnson and the recommendation at the end of next week is, yeah, we think johnson & johnson folks ought to get a booster two months after the original shot, go with that, because it's going to take a while for them to sort out what should johnson & johnson folks get eventually. should they be mixing and matching? should they get a pfizer or moderna shot? as you alluded, ana what, this small study found of about 450 people what, it found was that folks who got johnson & johnson were better off getting a moderna or pfizer booster. they did better if they got a moderna or pfizer booster than if they got a j&j booster but it's a relatively small study. the booster with j&j still did quite well so you're not hurting yourself by going out there and getting a johnson & johnson booster. you always want to do things in a timely way. go ahead with what they say and then we can lack at the other stuff later. >> let head to connecticut and president biden. >> i know that a lot of people are in desperate need of a facility like this in child care. i didn't really appreciate it as a young member of the county council when i was 27 years old, but when i got elected to the united states senate when i was 29, i wasn't old to be sworn in yet and between the time i got elected and between the time i ultimately went to the congress i turned the eligible age of 30 but also in the meantime there was an automobile accident that my wife was christmas shopping and my daughter was killed. my wife was killed and my two young boys, beau and hunter were very badly injured and hospitalized for a long time, and so i didn't -- i thought, well, i'll get some help, and i was making a decent salary as a u.s. salary, $42,000 a year. that was a decent salary, and i could not afford the child care. everybody wrappeders why i commuted every day 265 miles a day to be back and forth with my children. i could afford the train was cheaper to be able to take every day so i could kiss my boys -- it wasn't ozzie and harriet. we got breakfast in the morning and when they got a little older get them off to school and i'd get on the train in time, if i got home in time to have dinner, it was seldom i would get home in time to have my dinner and they would save the dessert and i got see them and kiss them good night and get in bed with them so it made me realize how difficult it is for the vast majority of people who need help. i'm lucky. i had a mother who is nearby, a sister who is my best friend who quit her job temporarily and moved in with her husband to help me raise my kids, but most people don't have that option, so i've -- i've been conscious of the concern and the lack of access and the lack of financial ability to have child care for a long time, and i -- i want to thank the team here, the capital development center, for welcoming us in today and i want to thank the excellent leaders you have here. ned, you're one of the best governors in the united states of america, you really are, because you stand up for what you believe in and you don't back down and mr. mayor, luke, is a -- is an afghan war veteran. we were talking about all the work that he's done with the former governor of delaware jack markel now who is placing afghan refugees coming out of afghanistan, and we're continuing to get people out. thank you for what you do, i really mean it, and richard blumenthal who was back in those days the attorney general when my son beau was still alive and he was attorney general, not a joke, but he looked to richard for help, and thanks for the way you took him under your wing. i really mean, itry. you made a difference. you know what he thought of you, and -- and chris murphy who has been not only a real soldier but he has stood up and stuck up for me and chris, you know, it -- it matters. it matters when things are tight to stand up and make the case and i do appreciate it. john and i, john larson and i go back a long way. and -- and joe, you can't deny me. there's no way out. and rosa delaura, i don't have time to keep you, but the first time i came up this way i was -- my son was going to yale law school and her mother -- it was a committee men. >> alderwoman. >> and i was up on a ladder helping him to pain the place that he had just represented and this knock on the door and this lovely woman says where's biden, where's joe biden? i was up on a ladder with paint all over me and i was a sitting u.s. senator. and it was like, no, where's biden? where's biden, and she brought the chief of police over to let them know that everything will be taken care of, but your mother was something else, but that little expression the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. rosie, you've been an incredible leader when it comes to the health and well-being of children and we would not have had the legislation that we're trying now to continue if not for you. and jim, you're -- you're the real deal. [ applause ] as well as, you know, joh ha nna, my -- the -- the comment i got from joh ha nna i get from everybody. where's jill? where's jill? i'm jill biden's husband. i think she's now in new jersey or virginia, i'm not sure, after teaching 15 credits this week at the community college, and she is out there making a case. i'm here today to talk about what's fundamentally at stake right now in my view for the families, not only of connecticut because you're ahead of the curve and something that you've done on your own but for our country. for a long time america set the pace across the globe. for most of the 21st century we literally led the world by a significant margin in investments we invested in our own people, in our people. not only our roads, our highways, our bridges but in our people and in our families, and we didn't just build the interstate highway system and invest to win the space race. we were also among those to provide it was a decision to invest in our children and our families and it is a major reason why we're able to lead the world in the 21st century. one of the few nations in the world that has universal education for everyone, beginning at first grade. but somehow along the way we stopped investing in our people. our infrastructure has fallen from the best in the world, according to the world economic forum our infrastructure ranked 13th in the world. roads, bridges, highway, a whole range of things. but just as important as the organization of economic opportunity and cooperation now ranks america 35 out of 37 major countries when it comes to investing in early childhood education and care. say another way the world is catching up and beginning to pass us. jill has my community college dr. biden has an expression for real. any country that outeducated us will outcompete us. we cannot be competitive in the 21st century in this global economy if we fail to invest. that is why i proposed two critical pieces of legislation being debated in washington right now. they're both bills that are not about left versus right, they're not about moderate versus progressive or anything else that pits one american against another. these bims in my view are about competitiveness versus complacency. about opportunity versus decay. and about leading the world or continuing to let the world move by us. folks, a lot of folks know what is at stake in the infrastructure bill. it is about rebuilding the arteries of our economy. putting people to work in good-paying jobs. wall street created up to $16 million jobs, good paying jobs, union jobs, not $5 an hour, $7.50, but $40, $50 an hour a living wage to raise a family on and live with digity and prize. and replacing lead water pipes. there is over 40,000 schools across america where you have to be worried when you go to the water fountain whether there is lead in the water and children being poisons and turn on the faucet so every place in america, you're sure the water is clean and able to be drunk. laying transmission lines for a modern and resilient energy grid. making high speed internet affordable. from urban to rural. there are parts of the country left behind and there are parts of the country in states that are economically prosperous that are being left behind. meeting the moment on the climate crisis and in the process creating millions of good-paying jobs. i've had a couple of conferences, i'm going to cop 26 in scotland shortly and what i had, i guess i had 71 heads of state on the first one i did in the white house. and i said, and people are starting to talk about it now, not about me, but about the idea. what i think climate, i think jobs, good paying jobs, union jobs. this is an opportunity. we're the only country in the world that has consistently turned difficulty into opportunity. we've a chance to not only make this world more liveable, but to actually create greater opportunity for people. making landmark investment in rail and reducing emissions. there is millions of kids getting out of school, deal school buses and getting asthma. they should be electric buses. electric buses. [ applause ] so look, i have a tendency to say more than i need to say because you all understand it but i wanted to come here today because too many folks in washington still don't realize it is not tough to invest in our physical infrastructure, we have to invest in our people. that is what the build back better initiative does. seeing children at this center is a perfect reminder what our families need and our economy needs so badly to be able to thrive. you know, you all know the statistics of the teachers here, a child coming out a single parent house will hear a million fewer words spoken, not different words, spoken than the child coming out of a middle class household. and so no matter what you say, you start them at the same age, age 6 or 7, they're already behind the curve. already behind the curve. how could we compete in a world of millions of americans parents, especially moms can't be part of the work force. because they can't afford the cost of childcare or elder care i might add. elder care. they are the sandwich generation getting crushed. here in connecticut the annual average to bring your toddler to a quality childcare center is about $16,000 a year. that is around the country. some places more, some places a little less. a lot of money. that is $16,000 after taxes. after you pay your taxes. so the average two-parent family, with two young kids spends 26% of their income on childcare every year. my build back better plan will change that. it is going to cut the cost of childcare for most connecticut families in half. no middle class family will pay more than 7% of their income on childcare. [ applause ] and that is going to help transition back into the work force and make ends meet or maybe care for that, i'm not going to talk about it today, but the either piece of it you all know deals with elder care. we have 80,000 people waiting to qualify under medicaid and there is no spaces. we could afford to do that. but at any rate, we have to provide businesses with tax credits to on site. look, the legislature were way ahid of the curve. we decided for people working in the legislature, there should be a place for their children. well, you know, what we want to do is make sure that we encourage businesses to do the same. to get a significant tax cut to be able if they have an on site facility to take care of their workers' children when they show up, so you go to work with your child and you have a serious facility on site. well, studies show that when you have on-site care for children's center, businesses, businesses and the business itself have less employee turnover, less absenteeism and higher productivity. we'll show you all of the studies. it is real. we can't afford to lag behind other countries when they are in vesting. when america made 12 years of education essential, it gave the best educated and best prepared work force in the world to the rest of the world. but if we're designing public education today, we had none and we said what are we going to do? we need free public education. does anybody think we think 12 years was enough? in the second quarter of the 21st century? the fact it today only about half of three and four-year-olds are enrolled in childhood education like here. in germany, france and the u.k., even latvia, the number of concern in those countries enrolled is 90%. 90%. my plan gets us back on track. provides two years of high quality preschool for every child in america. it also makes investments into higher education, by increasing pell grants, i don't know that i could get it done but i also had proposed free community college. like you've done here in the state of connecticut. to help students from lower income families attend community college and four-year schools. and invest in historically black colleges and universities to make sure young people from every neighborhood have a shot at good paying jobs in the future. we also extend this lady's child tax credit. [ applause ] which, which is finally atax cut for the middle class. now look, my friend never had any problem adding $2 trillion in tax cuts for the very wealthy. look, i don't think you shouldn't be able to make a million or a billion dollars, i'm a capitalist. but guess what, i'm also listed for 36 years the poorest man in congress. but i make big money now. i'm a president. but all kidding aside, i don't think we should punish anybody. but just pay your fair share. just pay your fair share. [ applause ] you know, the issue that has been championed for years, in the past if you paid your taxes and had an income high enough that you were able to take the $2,000 per child deduction, you could actually write it off your taxes. but how many families do you know of cops and firefighters and school teachers that don't have that much in tax because they pay a tax, but there is nothing -- you say you get $4,000 back for your kids. well you, know, it is not refundable. it comes off your tax bill or you couldn't get it at all. the tax plan is a real game changer. it started our economy moving ago. recognize that people with lower incomes don't get the benefit of the tax break because they don't have that much to deduct. so we make it refundable. make it permanently refundable. so you get that back over the years. if you didn't have -- if you only had a thousand dollars in taxes and you had three kids you end up in a situation where you get $5,000 refundable to you. they would pay you, government would pay you. and we increased that amount in the near term to $3,600 for every child under the age of 6 and $3,000 for dependents for the ages of 6 through 17. the money is already a game changer for working families. it is projected to cut child poverty in connecticut, one of the wealthier states like delaware and connecticut, by 40%. if we don't pass the bill. it is real. it is a life changer. the build back better act said that you get the first half of the paid and the second half you get paid on a monthly basis. people are getting hard working families are getting a check in the mail on the 15th, today is the 15th isn't it? or in their bank account just like you get a social security
