the biden strint. the president looking to get everybody a vaccine by may 1th. now 10% of the population is fully vaccinated. to get to 4herd immunity, we ar nowhere close right now, and one major challenge is people choorsing not to get vaccinated. like everything else in the country, right now, a lot of the choice comes down to politics. just listen to brian temp today. we are seeing vaccine he is tansy really as the pharmacists and i were talking about, making south. a lot of that is dealing with white republicans quite honestly. macon south, white republicans, quite honestly. the governor of georgia came out and said it. and the poll shows what he said, 36% of respondents, of that group, nearly 60% are republican. so just imagine if trump had made a big public showing of his vaccination, stuck him arm out there, and did it on video just like his pretdecessors have don here. we have lost enough people and suffered enough damage. it s important for the fellow citize
This was somebody there are people who were skeptical about donald trump from the very beginning. This was Somebody Playing Ball with donald trump and was a supporter and maybe even going to be his Vice President ial candidate. So the fact that hes saying these kinds of things shows that he gave him a fair hearing, was willing to give him a try, and its become pretty clear that this is a highly problematic president. Part of the thing that is worrying to me is were starting to see everything through the prism of heres another twitter scandal, heres another bit of the crazy. How crazy. Youre talking about somebody who has more access to information about threats to america than almost any human being on earth, Senator Corker, saying hes afraid of world war iii, to the paper of record for the country. That should be a full stop, all traffic comes to a halt moment. Because this is a cry for help for the country. And yet but it doesnt come until after donald trump personally insults him on
the united states is back, as a partner to its allies. that s right, willie. there s certainly some deliverables, as the white house likes to call them, that they will be announcing on this trip. the $500 million vaccine doses for the world, which is a big deal. the u.s. partnering with pfizer vaccines across the globe. there will be some discussion of northern ireland. president biden is keenly interestinged in that scenario. he s proud of his irish heritage. worrisome there about that border between northern ireland and the rest of ireland, now that the uk is not part of the eu. how that could perhaps impact the peace process. but this is more about symbolism. it s about messaging. it s about the white house and this president suggesting that, look, the last four years were the blip. that was the aberration. we re back to a sense of predictable, normal u.s. relationships. now, he s going to have to do some convincing of that. the rest of europe is not necessarily certain.
to be saying is a strict technical legal point which is true that is that congress does not need a prosecutable felony, they don t need to have criminal behavior that rises to the level of indictment in order to find high crimes and misdemeanors. i think in this set of facts, to me, there are not high crimes and misdemeanors in that report even if you are disturbed by some of it, it certainly doesn t rise to that level. and i think he is taking the position that the president shouldn t be impeached. ed: interestinged that the former fbi chief who is supposed to be nonpartisan at least we thought is now cheering people on to go vote against the president that he used to serve under. andy mccarthy thank you for your insight this morning. thank you, guys. pete: new york s new law could give illegal immigrants driver s license. i believe in drivers licenses for all. it s fair, it s smart, it s safe. ed: there is a case for it on the other hand our next guest lost her son to a
thomas jefferson were sitting here they would not have wanted to create a system where enormously wealthy people had that influence on our democracy. josh earnest, jump in. congressman, it s josh earnest here. i want to press youing s inon sg you raised earlier, including statutory protection for robert mueller in the omnibus bill that has to be passed before the end of the week. i think we can predict how republicans respond to that idea. i m interestinged in hearing how your fellow democrats have responded to the idea. is there an appetite for a fight on this? democrats have a rare point of leverage here. we know there are strong conservative opposition on the spending bill, they ll need democratic votes to pass this. are there democrats willing to withhold the votes unless the statutory protection for mr. mueller is included in the legislation? that s a great question. the chief obstacle to a statutory special prosecutor in the omnibus is, in fact, the
