recall vote, we ll look at what is driving the anger of his opponents. as people around the world remember the victims of september 11th, we re seeing the first of what could be several documents released by the fbi related to its investigation of those terror attacks. this follows an executive order by president joe biden, the document still contains seg redactions but here is a bit of what we re learning. it points to alleged logistically support provided by a saudi consular official and saudi intelligence agent. based on multiple connections, the agent is described as a saudi student in los angeles at the time. the document designdescribes hi being deeply involved to help the two hijackers. the saudi embassy in washington says it welcomes the document but any allegation that saudi arabia was complicit is false. now, thousse documents were released after sole almost ceremonies earlier in the day for the 9/11 victims. for the families left behind the tragedy remains a
and amanda carpenter. good to see you, john. president biden announcing new vaccine mandates that could affect 100 million americans. what are you hearing from the white house? reporter: in terms of why they didn t go further is the biggest proposal i ve heard from people like our colleague jonathan rainer who you have on your show a lot, the doctor has said he should have mandated air travelers be vaccinated. the white house says they didn t do that because they think it would jam up airports and impede the economic recovery without doing all that much to improve vaccinations because a high proportion of air travelers are already vaccinated and all that much much covid is not spread because of good air filtration systems on plaeps. in terms of how it works is what joe biden is counting on here is the threat of fines on businesses applied through occupational safety and health administration to impose vaccine mandates on large businesses affecting tens of millions of worker
the white house says they didn t do that because they think it would jam up airports, impede the economic recovery without doing all that much to improve vaccinations because a high proportion of air travelers are already vaccinated and all that much covid is not spread because of good air filtration systems on planes. in terms of how it s going to work, what joe biden is counting on here is the threat of fines on businesses applied through osha, the occupational safety and health administration, to impose vaccine mandates on large businesses, affecting tens of millions of workers. they re also counting on the fact that business itself wants to have the cover to impose some of these mandates. business roundtable came out tonight saying we support what the administration is doing. we ve got to get aggressive in order to get on top of this. finally they re counting on mobilizing the social political pressure of the three-quarters of american adults who have gotten vaccinated ag
have not had their shots and are still fueling the pandemic. the vaccine is fda approval, over 200 million americans have gotten at least one shot. we ve been patient but our patience is wearing then and your refusal has cost all of us. so please do the right thing. new rules require workers at businesses with more than 100 employees to either be vaccinated or tested once week. but dr. anthony fauci says he would have gone even further. the president is being somewhat moderate in his demand if you want to call it that in that there are some people who really don t want to get vaccinated but they don t want it lose their job. you have to give them anoff lane. and the off lane is if you get tested frequently enough and you find out that you are positive, you won t come to work and infect other people. so it is somewhat of a compromise there. myself, i would make it vaccinate or not. but he was trying to be moderate in what his pronouncement was. jasmine wright is live f
sweeping moves to break through to the tens of millions of americans who refuse to get vaccinated. nearly 100 million. telling them, their time is up. this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. the vaccine is fda approved. over 200 million americans have gotten at least one shot. we have been patient. but our patient is wearing thin. your refusal cost all of us. the cost is staggering. as of tonight, about 1,500 people are dying right now with a free vaccine that would prevent those deaths, 1,500 people are dying and 151,000 americans are becoming infected a day. biden s ire, not just directed at the unvaccinated but those in positions of power who continue to lie and spread conspiracy theories. elected officials, actively working to undermine the fight against covid-19. instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated and mask up, they are ordering mobile morgues for the unvaccinated dying from covid in their xhupties. this i
