Last night a tower of light lit up the sky from Lower Manhattan where nearly 3,000 people lost their lives and theres a similar tribute over at the pentagon where more than 180 people died. Two decades have passed since terrorists hijacked planes crashing two into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center and one into the pentagon. Passengers on a fourth flight fought back forcing hijackers to crash the plane into a field in shanksville, pennsylvania. Who could ever forget the story of the two words. For the first time as commander in chief, President Biden will pay his respects at the three sites. He recognized the people who died and the people they loved that are left behind. Its so hard, whether its the first year, the 20th. So many have grown up without parents. Parents are suffering without children. Husbands and wives had to find ways forward without their partners in life. Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, Loved Ones Awith a Hole N their heart. No matter how much time has

Were about a block from the reflecting pool where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center once stood. President Joe Biden arriving at this moment in Lower Manhattan. He and Jill Biden will visit all Three Memorial Sites today. Starting here at the museum on this site. Vice president Kamala Harris will speak In Shanksville, pennsylvania later this morning, thats where United Flight 93 was forced down. She and second gentleman, doug emhoff, will then join the president and the First Lady at the pentagon. Nicolle wallace, as i always say, for millions of americans especially anyone in the tristate area, this is the saddest place on earth. Theres no way to walk by this spot if youre on Jury Duty a few blocks away, on an errand or going somewhere else that you dont feel gutted by what was lost here. Our Day Job is to cover politics, what you have in this place and what you have in this remembrance is heroes. Heroes who ran into towers. I think 20 years later that means more today than any

He looked at the americans in the eyes and said enough is enough. Frankly, im tired o

And that would be a big change to peoples everyday life. Because right now you dont even have to show a negative test to get on a domestic flight in the United States. Ones that could have an immediate effect. We should note yesterday he did make one change when it came to airlines. Thats those Tsa Fines for not wearing a mask. They are now double what they used to be. Here to discuss former u. S. Assistant attorney, the biden administration clearly believes that they have the legal standing to require businesses that have more than A Hundred employees to mandate either weekly testing or opting out with vaccines. Do they have the legal standing to do this . I think theres very little legal argument that the biden administration does not have this authority.
