too big, too small or just the right size? i ll talk to two of the world s foremost economists, larry summers and paul krugman. then, what is the quad? president biden met with the leader of japan, india and australia, a new block focused on deterring china. will it work? i ll talk to an expert. and the biotech revolution brought us to the covid 19 vaccines more swiftly than anyone imagined possible. it is given us the ability to edit genes to cure diseases and the innovations on the horizon are even more extraordinary. i will ask walter isaacson to describe what is next. but first, here is my take. within hours of being inaugurated, president biden began to roll back donald trump s most egregious immigration policies including the so-called muslim ban which biden called a stain on our national conscience. he signed six actions geared toward a more humane and generous policy and outlined a proposal for comprehensive immigration reform including a path to citizenship for mor

the johnson & johnson vaccine. let s discuss now. joining me, john harwood and cnn political analyst, john avalon. i have to say last names now, since you gents have the same first man. mr. avalon, this is a new cnn poll that shows this bill increasingly incredibly popular with the american people but zero republicans, not one voted for it. we had jen psaki on a short time ago. she said they re going to keep pushing for bipartisanship. do you think they know the score? the mere fact no republicans voted for a bill in which some of the contentious items were taken out says it will be a tough road. i don t think it is impossible and i don t think biden should simply couldn t seed it is impossible. it is critically important. can something be done on immigration? on infrastructure? should not give up the ghost on that just yet. the republicans have a problem which is that very often, their fetally is to the far right. not only what their voters believe. that s a disconnect wit
