Capitol physician, official mandate from him. I have nothing to say about that. Except we honor it. Leader mccarthy says it s against the such. He s such a moron. Why did the house speaker speak out? because house republicans are playing down covid as it makes a comeback across the country. As far as the former president goes, he has so far failed to sabotage a bipartisan infrastructure plan that just cleared a major hurdle in congress. Is trump losing his grip on the gop? good morning, and welcome to morning joe, it s thursday, july 29th, it s good to have you all on board with us. Senators celebrated with us yesterday after finally coming to an agreement on a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

We re looking to some pain and suffering in the future because we re seeing the cases go up. Which is the reason why we keep saying over and over again the solution to this is get vaccinated and this would not be happening. The cdc is stressing more than 99. 9% of people who are fully vaccinated against covid have not had a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death.

What are you doing? i would absolutely agree with that and arla, through our third party hauliers who do our distribution for us, has significantly increased pay. In fact, this week we have announced a 2,000 signing on bonus for the drivers tojoin and work on weekends. And we ve introduced an academy to make sure that we re growing the home talent, because what we really want in the long term is for british young people to come into the industry as well. How serious is this? well, i think when you re not able to supply 10% of the stores that would be expecting to get milk every day, i think that s quite worrying for a customer walking into a store and
Vaccinated person that i ve still diagnosed with covid19. Plus who still hasn t gotten the vaccine and can they be convinced to get it? and the bipartisan infrastructure deal facing another hurdle this hour. Progressives are not happy. Some promise to tank a top biden priority if they don t see action on voting rights. A pathway to citizenship and police reform. Up nfirst today, the war chz changed. The war has changed.
