We want to recognize the right all people have to freedom and liberty, to make choices. In response to the Trade Rumors we keep hearing about . We talking about moving . Not the trade, not the trade. We talking about moving. No, thank you. You could use opendoor, sell your house directly to them. Many years, took decades to recover, and were very close to that, a World War. In my opinion, were very close to a World War. And we know we are a work in progress. We havent yet quite reached all of those ideals, but we will die trying because we love our country and we believe. We have a very, very sick country right now. You saw the other day with the Stock Market crashing. That was just the beginning. That was just the beginning. Its going to get worse. Itll get a lot worse. Thats a big part of thi
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. I m jake tapper and we begin today with our health lead and president biden s 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
Seem to be inspiring more people to get the vaccine. The daily number of first doses has doubled since the start of july. Republicans have turned and said to their favorite scapegoats, immigrants. Joe biden has taken to himself to try to single out florida over covid. This is a guy who ran for president, saying he was going to, quote, shut down the virus, and what has he done, he s imported more virus from around the world by having a wideopen southern border. As the biden administration is allowing people to come across the southern border, many of whom who have covid, most of whom are not really being checked for covid. Those who do have covid, some have been released into our cities. And americans all over this country. Ought to be damned angry what s happening to their country. Total invasion. People are going to die because of people coming in illegally with covid, with the fentanyl drugs that are crossing the border. Joining me now to get into all of that foolishness this morning
It is also one of the biggest. 80 small businesses in this one spot. Just like people across the country, the business owners here are worried. Worried the covid surge will keep customers home and mask mandates or vaccination mandates will hurt their bottom line. That is on top of supply chain issues and inflation. Today s numbers are good. It follows gains with 4 million jobs added so far this year alone. It doesn t account for something important. The surge in cases we are seeing right now and the threat of the delta variant on our attempt to get back to normal. Here in philadelphia, this city saw more than 100,000 jobs wiped out in the first two months of the pandemic. They spent the last 16 months clawing back and they do not want to go back a second time. I want to start this morning with my allstar panel here to break it down. Josh lederman and the moderator of washington weekly. And jason furhman. He joined the obama administration. And john hope bryant is here. Jason, what are
Money into minority communities. Peter ducey starts us off tonight. Good evening. Today president biden used the greenwood vict of tulsa as an example of the kind of place where federal help never came in and matched the need after thousands of black americans were left homeless and hundreds were left dead. But he s now promising to change that. I come here to help fill the silence because in silence wounds deepen. To help heal president biden wants to use taxpayer dollars to make it easier for minorities to get mortgages and small business loans. The white house explains the federal government is the largest consumer of goods in the world buying everything from software to elevator services to financial and asset management.
