Something big in return. Could this finally be a breakthrough or is it the final offer before the president shows moderates he tried, allowing democrats to go it alone. Much more on that in a moment. Were also following an explosive fire spreading rapidly across the country. At least, thats the framing in a new warning in a major progressive group. The letter is addressed to former minority leader chuck schumer, but make no doubt its aimed directly at joe. Not the joe in the white house but West Virginia joe over in the senate. The Group Leading the charge said, quote, this is truly a fivealarm fire. Democrats have to make a decision. Are they going to protect the filibuster or protect votes . Refusing to nuke the filibuster, republicans are set to shoot down the ambitious agenda of a Voting Rights bill and so much more. To those who say we must make a decision between filibuster and x, i say this is a false choice. The reality is when you have a system thats not working effectively, t
Rioters stormed the capitol one year earlier, President Biden cast donald trump as holding a dagger at the throat of america, spreading lies that undermined Core Democratic values. A remarkable speech on a remarkable day, cnns Jasmine Wright joins us live from washington. Good morning. What do we know . Reporter thats right, christine. We can think of it as a political reset of sorts. Really, President Biden over the last few months has had a lot of highs, but also some lows.

But concerned enough that they took him to the hospital, University Of California Irvine, where he was admitted and subsequently diagnosed with a Blood Infection. A couple important points. The former president has a history of heart disease. Had Heart Operation back in 2004, had stints placed in 2010. Dr. Shaneen, chief of medicine, said his heart is not related to his Current Situation in the hospital. He was also tested for covid. Its not covid. Former president has been vaccinated and has received a booster shot as well. They said this was clearly a Blood Infection and specifically something that emanated from his urinary tract. So this is known as uro sepsis. It starts in the urinary tract, subsequently spreads to the bloodstream. It sounds like he was treated early. He was started on Iv Antiboddics a
Mariupol. Just a moment, well talk to former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine, bill taylor. Its been 27 months since the first confirmed case of covid in this country. Now, the u. S. Has passed a stunning 1 Million Deaths from the virus. 1 Million People. Well discuss how we got there and where we go from here. Willie, theres so much to talk about here. Of course, were going to start with the story about the russian generals. Its certainly consequential. But it does seem like weve all just sort of breezed past that 1 million mark. We all remember back in the spring of 2020 when we had officials saying maybe 70,000 people would die. Maybe 100,000 people would die. I remember there was a british maybe it was kings college, but there was a British Research institution, university, that said up to 1 Million People would die. My god, the chuckling from the maga freaks, the disregard from the maga freaks, the same people who worshipped donald trump for saying it was two or three people who came i
