Good evening. It is unusual and extraordinary to hear a President Address the nation so obviously frustrated with millions of his own fellow americans but that was the Tone President biden struck late this afternoon, as he announced a series of new steps to fight the coronavirus surge. Frustration at republicans fighting Mask Mandates in schools. Many of whom, have been defiant if their response to the new rules and guidance. But also, tens of millions of vaccineeligible americans who remain unvaccinated. Saying at one point, we have been patient but, quote, our patience is wearing thin. Unsparing in who is to blame, equally blunt about the difficult road ahead. While americas much better shape than it was seven months ago when i took office, i need to tell you a second fact. Were in the tough stretch, and it could last for a while. President biden laid out a Sixpoint Program to combat the virus. And well talk about them with the president s chiefmedical Officer Dr. Anthony fauci and w
That qualification about Fda And Cdc approval being needed has been part of the message as a white House Spokesman Reporter reminded reporters today. That part of it might have gotten lost because its been a stream of sound pibites like these. I would not at all be surprised that the adequate full regimen for vaccination will likely be three doses. There is No Doubt from the dramatic data from the israeli study that the boosts that are now being done Thand Contemplat here support very strongly the rationale for such an approach. Well, even as that message was going out, the federal officials were warning the White House there might not be enough data on the Moderna Vaccine to recommended anything but the Pfizer Shot as a booster. Its a sign this leading Vaccine Expert said that administration is taking the wrong approach with the public. You cant make an announcement and then say well wait to see what the Fda And Cdc says. Thats really not the right way to do it. Meantime, as this is p
A precursor to jooverturning it. A Far Cry from mississippis 15 Week Restriction and texas is a full 18 weeks before the current standard. President biden called the Texas Law unamerican today in his first on camera words about it, and is looking for ways for his Justice Department to limit it. The most pernicious thing about the Texas Law, it sort of creates a Vigilante System where people get rewards to go out to anyway, and it just seems, i know this sounds ridiculous, almost unamerican, i was told that there are possibilities within the existing law to have the Justice Department look and see whether there are things that can be done that can limit the independent action of individuals in enforcing a state law. The Senate Judiciary Committee now plans to hold a hearing examining not only the law but also the high Courts Decision to allow it to take effect. In a scathing rebuke today, democratic Chair Dick Durbin argued the court allowed it to see the light of day without public del
You need an ecolab scientific clean here. And you need it here. And here. And here. Which is why the scientific expertise that helps Operating Rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. Seek a commitment to clean. Look for the Ecolab Science certified seal. One week from tomorrow, the 20th Anniversary of 9 11. And Today President biden signed an Executive Order directing the Justice Department to conduct a declassification of documents related to the Fbis Investigation of those terror attacks. They have six months to release the documents. The president said this fulfills a Campaign Promise and its something that families and friends of those killed on 9 11 have been demanding. A group more than 1,600 affected by the attacks, it asked the president to refrain from visiting Ground Zero next week unless he released more documents. Many of them, hoping for more information about what many of them believe are possible links between Saudi Arabia and those who conducted
Good evening. We have two breaking stories tonight. Each, with considerable impact now. And one almost certainly for years to come. There is the aftermath of Hurricane Ida and Rescue Operations underway right now. Zwlf zwlf zwlfrmgts. First, though, this countrys 20year War In Afghanistan is over. With the last C17 Transport lifting off just one minute before the President S selfimposed August 31st deadline arrived in kabul. He will be addressing the nation tomorrow. The Secretary Of State spoke just a short time ago, and addressed the issue of americans remaining in afghanistan. We believe there are still a small number of americans, under 200, and likely closer to 100 who remain in afghanistan and want to leave. We are trying to determine exactly how many. Were going through manifests and Calling And Texting through our lists, and well have more details to share as soon as possible. Our commitment to them and to all Americans In Afghanistan and everywhere in the world continues. The
