Parliamentary systems. When they were, you bring all the bums and once after them all out if you dont like them every four years and you have an opposition. What sometimes happens is you get a Minority Government so that government has to incorporate with others but they make decisions. It doesnt always work coming to places like israel where nobody can get a majority say you have turnover but it is an interesting way to think about it with an elected government, they do your bidding or whatever you think the bidding is for four years and if you like it, you can reelect them and if you dont like it you can get rid of them. And to that point, what we have convinced americans to do, is we will split it. Give one party the presidency and the other the chambers. And it will all come together and what weve seen over is not doing it anymore. Primaries and politics, are fracturing that process even further. He might be fractured if you dont let ali get to his job. I appreciate it. Velshi star
That biden will be laying out and here is where the urgency comes from, these graphs. The u. S. Is averaging 1500 deaths a day from coronavirus right now. Efforts to get more people vaccinated have hit a wall with daily vaccinateds declining in the last week. And with coronavirus infecting more children, los angeles would require all eligible students to be vaccinated. Let s get to all of this. First with cnn s john harwood who is live at the white house this hour. John, on the the president s speech, what more are you learning about it? reporter: well, kate, he s going to talk, as you indicated, about three principle objects or areas of focus. But one is by far and away the most important one and that is vaccinations. Trying to ramp up that level of vaccination, we still have about a quarter of the country that has resisted getting a first shot of vaccinations we know are the key of guesting out of the pandemic so you mentioned the federal requirement for federal workers and contracto
Covid cases and hospitalizations are at levels we have not seen since early february. Before the majority of the country even had access to the vaccine. They ve also leveled out and are basically flat in the last two weeks. Deaths, however, jumped more than 30%. Nearly all of them among the unvaccinated. Going to say it one more time. Nearly all the deaths recorded are unvaccinated americans. Let s break it down, bring in mike memoli at the white house. Cal perry, eugene daniels, and dr. Paul offett. He is on the fda vaccine advisory committee. He knows what he is talking about. Mr. Memoli. Let s be honest, the six points, all of us would say sure, let s do that. How is it going to happen? reporter: that s right, steph. We re going to get more specifics through the day. This is clearly a major moment for the white house after a period of months they moved from july 4th celebration of independence from the virus to seeing just in the past week in fact one of the highest daily case count
Significant. And this call for schools to implement regular testing. Talk us through what you re hearing from sources. Reporter: hallie, obviously, this is shaping up to be a pretty significant speech from the president after a summer in which he had hoped we would be looking at the downslope of the covid19 pandemic and focus on other issues, but instead the delta variant changed those plans. White house officials are casting this speech as sort of everything they ve been trying to do, but bigger and bolder. One of those specifically already has to do with something the president himself did a couple of months ago. We talked about in july when the president ordered federal agencies to require a vaccine requirement on their staff or give them an option short of a vaccine of doing regular attestation of their negative status from covid19. What the president is expected to do today sign an executive order, directing those federal agencies to give up that second option. You have to be vacc
Information. Reporter: on covid misinformation, what s your message to platforms like facebook? they re killing people. Plus, a day after meeting texas democrats in d. C. , why is joe manchin going to raise money with republicans in texas? and as the mega drought continued in the west, why the biden administration just rolled back a ridiculous trump era regulation. When i take a shower i want water to hit my hair instead of drop, drop. It is hard enough, my hair, without all of that. All in starts right now. Good evening from chicago. I m chris hayes. January 6th was, of course, a truly horrible day for our country, but what is getting more and more clear day by day by day is that it all could have been so much worse. We just learned the country dodged another metaphorical bullet through a federal indictment of two california trump supporters, ian rogers and jared copeland. According to the indictment, prompted by the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, rogers and copeland began
