They are going to go into orbit almost 360 miles above earth. Higher than the orbit of the international space station. The crew, is composed entirely civilians. There is as i said a billionaire who founded the trip. Also physicians assistant from sainthood research center, a data engineer, and a geoscience professor, who is nearly selected for the astronaut program 12 years ago, getting a very cool second chance. Those don t usually happen. So we re going to witness, basically is the closest thing that we have ever seen here in the u. S. It least to cut the kind of dream that we were sold as children. The futuristic dream of space travel available to normal people. Non trained astronauts, people being able to just get on a rocketship, and gauge in space travel, for the first time. Cal perry call joins me now, he is standing by the launch. What are we going to see here? hey chris so this rocket could take them over 17,000 miles an hour, when they were detached, return to earth on a dro
Lived through january 6th and will be on duty again this weekend, an undercurrent of fear remains. Quote, am i scared? absolutely, an officer told the post. This saturday rally forces a traumatized police force to once again protect the capitol from protesters who openly sympathize with the people who attacked them the first time. Take a listen to what the officers told the january 6 select committee back in july. On january 6th for the first time i was more afraid to work at the capitol in my entire deployment to iraq. I witnessed the rioters using all kinds of weapons against officers including flagpoles, metal bike racks that they had torn apart, and various kind of projectiles. Officers were being bloodied in the fighting. Many were screaming and many were blinded and coughing from chemical irritants being sprayed in their faces. As my physical injuries gradually subsided and the adrenaline that had stayed with me for weeks waned, i ve been left with the psychological trauma and th
Consistently opposed by some 60% of californians. Likely voters were unenthusiastic about newsom. His baseball mobilized. Democrats proving they can drive enthusiasm and turnout in a race framed as a referendum on pandemic restrictions, the kind president joe biden has now long championed and the kinds of things gop leaders continue to forcefully and vocally fight. Governor newsom hailing a win for science and a win for all the priorities that have dominated the national democratic jaernd in recent weeks. We said yes to science. We said yes to vaccines, yes to ending this pandemic. We said yes to people s right to vote without fair of fake fraud or voter suppression. We said yes to women s fundamental constitutional right to decide for herself what she does with her body, faith and future. We said yes to diversity, we said yes to inclusion, yes to pluralism. We said yes to all those things we hold dear as californians, and i would argue, as americans. The essential policies governor ne
Was attacked on 9/11. Some of us must urge the use of restraint. What we know now about what went wrong with america s response and the political environment that resulted. Total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. I m chris hayes. Before i vent my considerable rage about the scoundrels, charlatans and cynics who are urging america towards ever more mass death, let me start with some equanimity. Despite the history annecks of those people, political leaders in the republican party and conservative media figuresering this country, us as americans are pretty unified in favor of covid vaccines. A majority of people across every eligible age group have now received at li one dose of a vaccine. Across all regions of the country, more than half of the eligible population has had at least one dose. More than 75% of all american adults have had at least one shot. Now, we say this a lot on the program because it s tru
Vaccinated or get tested once a week. People who are vaccinate the and can t go back to normal and are fearful to send kids to school when there aren t mask requirements and the president s speech will hopefully ease those fears. The president will focus on these six points. Vaccination the unvaccinated. Recommend booster shots. Outline how to keep schools open and increase testing and mask dark wearing. Fight the pandemic to improve economic recovery an all this to try to slow the soaring delta variant that is overwhelming hospitals in pockets of the country and killing 1,500 poem a day. Why is there any hope that this will change anything at all? the peach isn t just words. He s announcing and i would argue that the bully pulpit for any president could be quite powerful but what the president is announcing a series of bold and ambitious steps to address covid and save more clifs and protect more people. Here is president biden. Let s listen in. The progress we ve made and the work we
