Away from making vaccines mandatory in any sense. Today that all changed, noting that the nation was in a, quote, tough stretch of this pandemic, biden laid out a series of new policies. The Department Of Labor is developing an Emergency Rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 Million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated. Or show a negative test at least once a week. Over 200 Million americans have gotten at least one shot. Weve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us. This is not about freedom or personal choice. Its about protecting yourself and those around you. Notably, vaccinations will be required for most federal workers. The president also announced the tsa will double fines on air travelers who refuse to wear a mask. All this is happening asives ous daily average Caseload North of 150,000. For the first time since the old days in late january. Hospitals are getting crushed where the virus is surging, and we are back to to a daily Death Toll in this country of about 1,500 souls. As of tonight, just over 53 of us are fully vaccinated. As he rolled out new vaccine requirements, biden also called out politicians on the right who he says are preventing our country from ending this surge. Theyre keeping from us turning the corner. These pandemic politics i refer to are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die. We cannot allow these actions to stand in the way. Local School Officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs. Talk about bullying in schools. If theyll not help, if these governors wont help us beat the pandemic, ill use my power as president to get them out of the way. And just like that, to no ones surprise, several republican governors have already expressed their outrage over bidens new rules and staying on brand, republican national Committee Chair Ron nah mcdaniel says the party intends to sue to, quote, Protect Americans and their liberties. Late today, another sweeping mandate was announced. Education officials in Los Angeles say all students 12 and over must be fully vaccinated by january. L. A. , as you may know, the nations second largest school district, this is a major move by a major city school system. The White House is also taking on the state of texas over its new Abortion Law which bans the procedure after six weeks. Justice Department Today sued the state of texas, stepping up the administrations fight against the nations most restrictive abortion ban. The obvious and expressly acknowledged intention of this statutory scheme is to prevent women from exercising their constitutional rights. This kind of scheme to nullify the Constitution Of The United States is one that all americans, whatever their politics or party, should fear. If it prevails, it may become a model for action in other areas by other states and with respect to other constitutional rights and educational precedence. As weve been talking about, this Texas Law went into effect just over a week ago now after the Supreme Court refused to block it and by doing so they effectively rolled over roe v. Wade, which had been the standing law of the land. The liberal justice stephen breyer, who joined the minority in voting against the decision, the losing side, told npr it was, quote, very, very wrong. Tonight theres also growing concern about a planned rally to be held at the u. S. Capitol next saturday, september 18th. Demonstrators are expected to demand justice as they call it for the hundreds of people charged in connection with the January 6th insurrection. Politico says Capitol Police officers will get a Briefing Tomorrow on security preparations. Cnbc reports the Capitol Police chief will brief congressional leaders on monday about those same security plans. Congress is not going to be in session on the day of the rally, but one democratic member of the house says he is worried about what republicans are not saying about this rally. I think we have to take it very seriously. I know these people. They post, you know, on Social Media. Theyre dangerous. Whats most dangerous is the silence of republican leadership. They should be calling them off. Capitol police are said to be planning to reinstall all that fencing that was placed around the capitol a little bit too late for January 6th, but ahead of next weeks rally. And just a few minutes ago, a few minutes before we came On The Air, the House Committee investigating the insurrection revealed it has received thousands of pages of documents from Government Agencies in response to its initial requests. A Committee Spokesman also says the National Review is reviewing The National Archives is reviewing president ial records as part of this investigation. With that, lets bring in our starting Front Line on this thursday night, yamiche alcindor, white House Correspondent for the pbs news hour. Cynthia alksne, and clint watson, army veteran, former fbi essential agent, and a distinguished Research Fellow at the foreign policy research institute. Good evening and welcome you to all. Yamiche, id like to start with you and your beat. The President Kind of famously waved off mandates as late as this past spring, not knowing that this many million americans were going to wave off the chance to get a vaccine. So in your view covering the White House as you do, where to from here . We should also say and youre right that the president had waved off the idea of mandates, but this was the president saying we are no longer dealing and were going to pull out the sticks. And the sticks will impact 100 Million americans and twothirds of all workers in america. The president is essentially saying we are fed up. Now its going to come time for dire consequences for people who do not want to get vaccinated. Officials tell me people are going to face consequences. Take, for example, federal workers. If youre a federal worker in the Executive Branch and you dont want to get vaccinated, im told Youll Face disciplinary actions. Youre going to have to go to hr and that could end in possibly termination. You have the president saying the patience is over. Now that the the fda approved at least one vaccine, its time to get your shot. This is the most aggressive and forceful speech the president has given related to requiring people and encouraging people to get vaccinated. That comes out of this idea that were really in a scary moment in this country with kids more kids being hospitalized with the coronavirus and with people coming down and getting sicker and sicker, with people getting sick and saying they wish they had been vaccinated. This was the president really trying to urge people and say republicans, people who are downplaying this either because youre ignorant or because of politics, you need to stop. Cynthia, i want to take you up to the Northern Plains and play something from governor christy nome, a bigtime trumper. With this comment she stays on brand. Well discuss on the other side. Ill protect my people and to defend their freedoms. It was a shock to me that the the president said in his Speech Today that this wasnt about freedom and personal choice at all, which i think is indicative of whats really in his Heart And Agenda that he has for this country. Listen, this is not a power that is delegated to the enforcement. This is a power for states to decide. So cynthia, is she right or near right in the law in your view . Shes not right in the law. I think its interesting that shes so caring about peoples personal rights, but has nothing to say about the unconstitutional trampling of rights for women of texas. But shes not right. Theres decades of law supporting this decision by biden, and they can file all the lawsuits they want. Ultimately, even in this Supreme Court, the biden administrations going to win on this one. So cynthia, when you make an argument like that, do you factor in the fact that someone said tonight members of the u. S. Military have over a dozen mandatory vaccinations in order to voluntarily serve our country. Is that the kind of linchpin you use . Well, theres all kinds of requirements that the federal government puts on that states are not in a position to deal with, anything from Seat Belts to vaccinations to requirements that you wear a mask on an airplane. There are hundreds of them. And this will not be an exception when its done because it so affects the Health And Safety of americans, and particularly as we start school and little kids are in school and now were about to have as our friend Steve Schmidt has called it, a pandemic of children. Its the childrens spike because theyre in school and theyre unprotected. I just i think on this one its so overwhelmingly clear that the biden administration is going to win. They can require the federal employees to get vaccinated, they can require contractors, they can withdraw funds from states that dont require vaccinations, they can require vaccinations on any federal transportation system. Theyre just in a very strong position here. So clint watts, the president s message, while strong, bumps up against the countermessage of the antivax community and their helpers around the world. Tell our viewers what kind of chatter youre seeing in the antivax world of lately . Its been remarkable, brian, watching the convergence of people that you might not normally see hang out together in a physical place, but in online communities are quite the pals. From the far left traditional antivaccine communities that are known and california and places like that, youve seen strong opposition to vaccines of all types. And i know this personally having dealt with my daughters autism. This was a strong strain in the late 2000s. And then all the way to the far right, those trump supporters still dont believe that Donald Trump had a vaccine or that everyone at Fox News also had a vaccine but continue to repeat this rhetoric over and over again. And that really lines up with nearly every conspiracy that you might imagine being converged. Thats from Bill Gates conspiracies, microchip expires, all the way to affects of future births. You can take the entire spectrum and throw it out there. And the one conduit that brings this all together is the farright Social Media. Its not the main Social Media platforms as much anymore, but the fringe far right, their News Channels and their traditional a. M. Broadcasting channels. That is ecosystem that has stopped us in our fraction in getting past this pandemic over the past nine months why is it yamiche, think about policywise what weve been reporting since the top of the hour here just during our conversation. The biden administration showing a new aggressiveness on vaccines. The biden administration via the Justice Department showing a new aggressiveness versus the state of texas. Is there a larger message in here according to your reporting . According to my reporting and my conversations with White House officials, the larger message is that President Biden is going to fight for this country, both to protect people from the pandemic and also women from their right to choose what they want to do with their bodies. Democrats are in this position where theyre holding all of this power, even if its by a small margin in the house and in the senate, and theyre facing a base that is looking at the republicans who are moving very quickly to take away rights and to try to go with their agenda, whether its abortion, whether its voting rights, whether its policing, whether its covid and theyre expecting their party to step up and say were going to do something about this, were going to push back. So what you heard from President Biden today, and also what you heard from attorney general Merrick Garland was this tone to say we are here, we understand what the assignment is, we understand what people are facing and americans everywhere are expecting from us and were going to deliver on that. This is the president really showing, yes, im emotional, yes, i can be the consoler in chief but lets remember im the Commander In Chief, i can fight back for you and show that i have fire in my belly when you have so many americans feeling anxious about the different things were facing, including, of course, Abortion Rights and the pandemic. Cynthia, on one of those two topics, Abortion Rights, lets talk about this subject of choice. This Texas Law controversial as it may be was built to be unappealable. Is there, in your view, a legal avenue for the Supreme Court nonetheless to take a second swing at this, or do they have to wait now for a similar Test Case as all the downstream states are buoyed by this, the Red States who want to enact similar legislation . Well, the Justice Department did a masterful Job Today in getting that done. What this lawsuit did, its put the issue of roe v. Wade squarely in front of a federal District Judge in the northern district of texas, an obama appointee. He will have a chance to look at it very soon. What theyve asked is the law is declared invalid and expect it to be stricken, and to protect the rights of people whose rights have been violated who cant get an abortion in texas. The Abortion Rule in texas is essentially there is no abortion. Roe v. Wade is overturned in texas right now. The only way to get an abortion is to be rich enough to be able to get out of state. If you live in mcallen, texas, and you have to drive to albuquerque, you essentially have no right to an abortion in texas. They have fewer rights than every woman in the rest of the country. What we hope is this lawsuit, which is masterfully done under the Supremacy Clause of the 14th amendment, that this law will give an opportunity to get the Texas Law Halted until the Supreme Court does take up the Mississippi Case or until this one moves quickly. The problem is, as i think we all know where it is going, is ultimately it goes to the trump Supreme Court. And in a way, it tees up this battle about is roe v. Wade really going to hold . Is it going to hold with this Supreme Court . And it teased that battle up. Clint watts, you get the final word. Its about this Capitol Rally nine days away. I always say that you do your job so we dont have to, but every time i ask you about your day job, it is scary material almost by nature. What kind of chatter are you hearing and seeing about this gathering in washington that everyone needs to know about . September 18th was more forceful i think a week or so ago. That was largely due to Madison Cawthorn talking about going to the capitol. Youre starting to see them back away as if they may not make it on september 18th. I also think you see that large Law Enforcement Response very organized and prepared this time. In the chatter in the online space youre starting to see some stay we need to back away from this event. But what that also mask is them diverting their attention to local capitols, state capitols. In the Discussion Spaces of the militia groups, thats really where i think we need to start worrying more because the local municipalities have less ability to protect this and thwart it in terms of resources. And a final one, brian, in terms of the white Supremacist Space, what we see significant discussion of is refugees and Refugee Location centers coming back from afghanistan. While we see great bipartisanship, a lot of americans coming to get to help the refugees out, it is a Lightning Rod in the white Supremacist Space and thats what we need to raise on our radar in the coming months why is it youre right. As advertised, truly scary stuff you ended with there. We are much obliged to our Starting Line on this thursday night. Yamiche alcindor, cynthia alksne, clint watts, our thanks for starting off our conversation. Coming up for us, the president warns patience is wearing thin with the unvaccinated in this country. Thats no surprise to the nations exhausted Health Care workers. But will bidens Battle Plan make a difference. Reporter well ask our doctors standing by.

As this president now passionately lays out his plan to battle the virus, dr. Fauci warns the current level of Virus Transmission is way too high. He told axios the following. Right now were still in Pandemic Mode because we have 160,000 new infections a day. Thats not even modestly good control. In a country of our size, you cant be hanging around and having 100,000 infections a day. Youve got to get well below 10,000 before you start feeling comfortable. Its a lot to talk about with our guest tonight, dr. Irwin redlener, founder of the Colombia National Center for preparedness. Hes a professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein School of medicine. He joined us late in the day and is in his car, which in an uncontrolled pandemic, is about as safe as any studio you work i can imagine. I want to hear your view on the president s views and his overall Tone And Aggressiveness today. Hi, brian. Happy to join you from my car. But i will say that this was an incredible your two clips were wonderfully interesting 12 punch from the president and from dr. Fauci. Both of them aggressive, both of them pulling no punches. And i agree, really, with both of them. But i want to say just a word about bidens Speech Today, which is that it was an amazingly powerful, fullfrontal assault on the pandemic, the likes of which we havent seen, really, since the last century when we took on smallpox or policyio. What he did today was lay out a very detailed plan doing literally everything that the federal government could possibly do to empower people to take this on to make sure the companies and public agencies are doing what they can do, and then this final plea that he made that we just showed a clip of to the doctors of america basically saying do this one last thing, go to your patients and tell them, again, how critical this is. I mean, theres been nothing more heartbreaking to me than seeing people on their death beds wishing they had gotten the shot, and doctors and nurses at their wits end trying to cope with this horrible tragedy theyre saying seeking day after day in hospitals, especially in those undervaccinated states where the virus really is running totally out of control, brian. Doctor, i have a Twopart Question on antibodies. What do you make of people of means with the opportunity and the money to get Antibody Testing to determine whether they should get the third shot, the booster . And a second question on antibodies is this. If you had covid, maybe you knew about it, approximate maybe you dont, are you still walking around with the same Antibody Load as someone with a more virulent case . Absolutely, brian. A lot of this is still being studied. As far as getting Antibody Tests are concerned, theres a lot of different ways of measuring how powerful and strong your Immune System is. One of them is by getting the regular antibodies you can see in your bloodstream. But it really should be a particular kind, Thats Type related to the spike proteins. The other thing is that theres other elements of the resistance, of the Immune System that will not show up in serology. It has to do a T Cell and B Cell and other issues. You dont get an entirely clear answer, and i think its if you need Antibody Testing, that should be something determined by your doctor. But we are headed towards Booster Shots for everyone starting with the people that are most vulnerable. Theres no question that that is coming. Its inevitable, and i totally agree with it, brian. Knowing you as i do, the Wall Street Journal report this week has to concern you, that Flu Season this year is going to come earlier in the season and be stronger than recent years because we havent been out and about in circulation as much. And that must trouble you. Well, it troubles me, but the other thing thats been odd about the regular influenza that were used to every single year is that the number of cases so far has been extremely low. Were hardly seeing any flu because many of the measures weve taken to prevent the spread of covid has really helped tamp down the emergence of the serious Flu Influenza Epidemic this year. Well see what happens. Theres reason for concern. Theres so many things we have to keep in our sights now, brian, as this Flu And Winter season begin to unfold in full force in the next couple months, not to mention the fact were putting 55 Million children back in schools and we just had a Labor Day Holiday weekend. A lot of different factors at play that give us lots of reason to be concerned. Permission to turn off the Dome Light and continue wherever it is you are headed with our wishes to have a good Day Tomorrow and a good weekend ahead. Dr. Irwin redlener, our guest again tonight with our thanks. Coming up for us, he says he gets no points for being right on the subject of afghanistan.

Com. Welcome back to the broadcast. I want to start for people perhaps sensitive to it who see a Poll Quote on an aggregator on their phone who may have seen your quote, in The End Osama Bin laden won, what did you mean by it . I mean that his attack, their attack on 9 11 on this country, i dont know how they could have guessed that we would stay in this war for 20 years , that they would that we would spend 300 Million a day. Was he some sort of mad genius, Osama Bin laden, that he figured out we would take our own rights, create a Surveillance State where theres a camera on every other corner in this country spying on Each Other, that we did not we spent all of our time focused on the War On Terror and the money on this . Were not better off 20 years later. Weve created sort of a self now were at war with ourselves. We have this incredible division that has turned violent. I mean, he must be smiling from his grave, wherever it is, because what they couldnt do to us, we decided to do to ourselves. And George Bush used to brag about or say we need to fight him over there so we dont have to fight him here. And what actually ended up happening was, yes, we went over there to fight them, but Bin Laden they couldnt ever have attacked us or invaded our country and taken us over. In order to kill us, they had to sucker us into coming over there and putting our young men and women, our troops on the sacrificial altar and at the same time allow our country to become what its become in these 20 years. Its so sad and its and so i said, you know, in a sense, he may have lost the battle, he may have lost his life, al qaeda, broken up. But in The End, in a strange, sad sort of way, he won because weve allowed this to happen to ourselves. And shame on us for that. I hope the lesson is we never have another war like this. Brian, you know, 20 years ago i was standing pretty much alone. Most liberals were all behind the war. Bush had a 70 approval rating. It was myself, it was congresswoman Barbara Lee from oakland, california, who said no, no. We are not to go to afghanistan, were not to invade that country. This will be a quagmire. And we were we were pretty much shot down by our fellow americans that did not want to hear anything like this. You know, are we safer . The real Homeland Security should be about how we take Care Of Each Other and how we spend our money and not on a war that may have seen right to some people at the time, lets go get him, he is a mass murderer, Osama Bin laden, but by the time we really organized ourselves to do that in october, november, he had pretty much skid daddled. He was out of the country and they didnt have a say. He left and we stayed for 20 years. Yeah. We famously had a shot. We came close. Now at least hes where he needs to be and humanity is better off for it. Michael, im going to take a pause. Michael moore has agreed to stay with us. Well resume our conversation after this break. Coming up, well talk to him about whats at stake for the president as mr. Biden tries to advance this 3. 5 trillion plan to expand a quaint thing we used to call the social Safety Net in this country. With a revolutionary, rollerball design.

House committees have started process of formally drafting sections of joe bidens sweeping 3. 5 trillion economic plan as we mentioned before the break. Still with us is our guest tonight, Michael Moore. Michael, fair warning, i hate interrupting, but were up against a hard ending on this segment, so if you hear me interrupting, thats why. Im curious to hear how important this money is to the american working class. If your answer is very important, then the natural question is, why isnt everyone whose name is going to be on a ballot in 2022 and 2024 lining up to vote for it, because that used to be a measure of success for an elected representative, bringing Things Home that help your constituents, life, safety, and the rest of it . [ inaudible ] they will get behind it because its good for the country, its good for their constituents, its good for their reelection. I cant imagine that they would not get behind faith in President Biden. They will convince the american people how important this is. I think most americans, they want Child Care and they want their kids to be able to go to college. And they want to be able to take some time off and not lose money on their job. Thats what this is all about. And so It Sound i think once this has passed and the average american starts receiving the benefits of all of these things that will make their life better, easier, safer, all of that will, i think, definitely Help Anybody who hasnt been afraid to get behind this. So i guess i have im not usually an optimist, but i am on this. I think people will come around because they have to come around because, im telling you, brian, this bill, the 3. 5 trillion, this is such a Game Changer for this country. It will turn this country well go around a corner like weve never gone before. To have our people taken Care Of, to have them life and The Pursuit Of Happiness is right there in our original document. To have to suffer, to have to live from paycheck to paycheck, to have 40 of the people of this country not have more than 400 to their name on any given day, this is not the country that is proponent of the american dream. This is not a dream. What a lot of people have been living here has been a nightmare, and we need to turn this around. I think that this is what the biden plan is going to do. Why not . Why wouldnt we . We were willing to spend all that money on war and were willing to spend all that money on all these other things that dont really help us.

Were bringing this war to an end. Watch me, youre going to get vaccinated. Weve proven its safe. For those of you not getting a shot for political reasons, im sorry for you. I hope you come around. But if hes able to pursue what he just said this afternoon, where we can get another 80 Million to 100 Million vaccinated, we can turn this around. Listen, i didnt vote for him in the michigan primary. I voted for bernie, but he has so impressed me. He doesnt walk it back and we should all get behind this.

They want to protect children of the next generation and old people, and the fact theyre the ones that now the children are starting to suffer from this, who are we . What have we become . Yeah. I mean, everybody, come on, man. Yep. That used to be the idea. That used to be the american ideal. We have changed and things have changed around us. Thats why we have you on from time to time to sum it all up. Michael moore has been our guest tonight. Thank you very much for being with us.

It is a state of stunning physical beauty and tough people, some of whom have only known tough times during their lifetimes. Back when coal was king, so were they. But the national economy has been especially cruel to West Virginia. They rank first in the nation in Opioid Use and deaths from it per capita. In poverty they rank sixth in the nation. Obesity, they rank second. Education, they rank 45th, fifth from the bottom. And in vaccinations they rank 47th out of 50 states.

A bunch of people will die. I dont know how we can more explicit. Oh, boy, we have got to get vaccinated. More people will die. All youre doing is entering the death drawing. What in the world . Death after death after death. If we dont get ourselves vaccinated, you know, for gods sakes, why is this difficult to understand . Why in the world do we have to come up with these crazy ideas . And theyre crazy ideas, that the vaccines got something in it and its tracing people wherever they go. And the same very people that are saying that are carrying their Cell Phones around. I mean, come on. Come on. You heard the man, for god sakes of living, West Virginia governor jim justice to take us off the air tonight. With that, that is our broadcast on this thursday evening. Along with our thanks to you for being here with us, on behalf of all our colleagues at the networks of nbc news, good night. You started the summer of 1964. You go through the summer of 1965. And you get to the whole shocking climax of a thing, by the summer of 1966. It was a short period of time, it was world shaking stuff. But it happened fast, and definitively. And it all spilled out over the course of those two years. 64 to 66. Starting the summer of 1964. President lyndon bains johnson, size the civil Rights Act. He signed the civil Rights Act of
