police are prepared for the worst. fencing has been reinstalled and officers are on high alert. but this is not another insurrection. let s be clear. it is not even really a protest. it is just a sad political temper tantrum by folks who don t understand how democracy works. listen, i don t want to downplay the potential threat here because right wing extremists that are drown to these causes can certainly be violence as we saw in january. but what is happening today doesn t have the same threat level as what happened on january 6. one, congress is not in session. two, a presidential election isn t be certified. and this time law enforcement certainly does appear to be prepared. what i want to do throughout our show is make a bigger point about extremism. and that as dangerous as folks in the streets can be, it is the ones in the halls of power that you have to watch out for. let me tell you who the extremists that caused the most damage and lasting danger, and that is your g
plan to get all fully vaccinated americans a third shot. that rollout was supposed to start next week. here was dr. fauci this morning. are you expecting pfizer booster shots to be approved? you know, i don t want to get ahead of the fda deliberations. the data that i ve seen i believe strongly suggests that will be the case. our position about at least planning for the eventuation we might have to give boosters. we have planned and are ready to go pending the decision that s made from a regulatory standpoint by the fda and their advisers. so here is what happens now. all of that is up to the full fda and the cdc who, throughout the coronavirus pandemic, have typically agreed with this committee s nods of approval with the use of existing vaccines. those vaccines, the fda said, are still effective, though, against severe disease and death. a third shot can increase immunity against the milder breakthrough infections and it all adds some uncertainty in terms of what the
about what it means to her. thank you for being here, everybody. we do begin this hour with president biden stepping up his war against the coronavirus. more man dates, more political and legal battles ahead and likely more in vaccinations because of it. in an impassioned speech, the president s frustration with americans still resisting gettin g expected to that is up ten poibs from a year ago soxts think about where we were a year ago and now we see an increase. an think that sentiment is driving why his overall approval on handling the virus is down a little bit and exactly those worries and concerns that the president is aiming to address last night and today at school when you see them talking about this now. and the numbers nationally and 400,000 were dead when he took people have died from covid-19 when he took office. 250,000 people have died since he has been in office. that is the national numbers and then as you re saying when you look at people s communi
justice for indicted individuals and some convicted criminals who launched that attack. what you saw there was one trump s super fan speaking to another former trump adviser steve bannon. the activist speaking is matt braner. they re not. some of them may be the case and they have every right to go to court. in the name with the evidence we all documented and lived through, you know this party. you don t need the news for this. we saw the criminals doing their crimes on live tv. we saw the framework of right-wing violence exposed as more and more elected republicans come out publicly all year minimizing and defending what we know they could not believe in. it has been an ugly and revealing scene. so, why is this top story in the nation tonight? number one it is critical to be vigilant about any future plots and threats. it is also important to track accountability for the insurrection. so-called qanon shaming pleading guilty tomorrow. that s a type of justice to the ongoing
