9 11 made me late. Don Lemon Tonight starts right now. The big star, d lemon. Lets put it up then. Look how beautiful this is. Can we show it . Um, look. You were born here. I wasnt. I moved here. And its hard. I still look at this skyline and, you know, driving on the bqe or on the ftr, what have you, and i expect to see those buildings around every turn. And it is a reminder, every day, when you look that way that its not there. But especially, today. And its also a reminder how much we lost. But a reminder, as well, on how we can come together no matter what as americans, as we did after those horrible attacks. Yeah, thats what i always thought. 100 . Beautifully said, my brother. I have always felt that thats what never forget really is a reminder about. Not what happened. Obviously, we know what happened. But how we were 9 12, 9 13, 9 14. It wasnt perfect. It didnt last forever but we put things aside and we came together with a collective will and you contrast that with where we
Syndrome, i dont even remember the handoff. I dont even remember what i said. Its kind of crazy, when you honestly, though. This is this is honesty. You meet especially, when we were in our big studios, the number of people that we would meet on a daily basis. And i have been doing two hours for, what, five, six, seven years. I forget how long. Two hours a night. And i dont mean to be rude. People would say, hey, do you remember i was on your show . And i would go, oh, yeah, i remember. Dont quite remember. And then, they have to remind me, prompt me and then i will go now, i remember. But i think i was interviewing like, maybe, 20 people a night at one point. And so, you know, theres only so much information that can be held up in this little, tiny you know, i think its interesting. You know, thank god you and i dont really think about why we do what we do. We just do it. I love it. We think about what we say, but we dont think about, you know, what its going to mean that we said it.
Look, i am so disappointed that particularly some of the republican governors have been so cavalier with the health of these kids. So cavalier with the health of their communities. This is were playing for real here. This isnt a game. Here are the basics. All private companies with more than 100 workers will have to require vaccinations or Weekly Testing. All federal employees and contractors must get a Covid Shot as well as educators and federally funded programs and Health Care workers in settings with Medicaid Or Medicare reimbursements. And finally the president wants Entertainment Venues to require proof of testing or vaccination. Lets start with a primary Care Physician and Public Health specialist. Dr. Matthew, setting aside the politics, would you consider this good public Health Policy . I would. You know, im really excited that President Biden, i think for the very first time was very stern. He looked at the americans in the eyes and said enough is enough. Frankly, im tired o
Second lieutenant. She will join us along with her mother who is a Brigadier General who witnessed that explosion. They will share their memories 20 years later. Welcome to the lead. Im Jake Tapper and we begin today with our Health Lead and president Bidens Message to republican governors looking to challenge his new mandate on businesses to either test or vaccinate their employees. Biden saying, quote, have it. The president s new policies will affect about twothirds of the american workforce or roughly 100 Million americans, forcing federal employees and federal contractors and healthcare workers, all of them to get vaccinated, even private businesses with more than 100 employees will need to make sure their workers get weekly testing or get the shot. For context, 75 of u. S. Adults already have at least one dose of the covid19 vaccine. Biden is talking specifically to the roughly 27 of eligible unvaccinated americans who are the ones keeping this pandemic going. And even though oth
Minister has just confirmed there have been deaths following this massive earthquake in haiti. There are no official numbers yet. Haiti as a state that is in dire straits. Last month, the head of state, the Prime Minister, was assassinated. Its going to take some time to get any handle on the amount of deaths that weve seen in light of this earthquake. I spoke to a friend in portauprince before coming on air. He was in bed this morning at about 8 30 when the earthquake shook. The earthquake, he told me, went on for over a minute of tremors, and that was in portauprince. As you said in your introduction, this earthquake is bigger in terms of the Richter Scale than the massive earthquake that shook and devastated haiti in 2010. That earthquake killed an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 people, apocalyptic levels of destruction, sadness, and death. And as the Death Count comes in in the following days, we can only hope that its not as terrible as what happened 11 years ago. But well be report
