however, in contrast to the current administration s emphasis on unity, the most recent ex president sewed more division. he was absent from any 9/11 memorial services this week end, the failed former president visited a police precinct and neighboring fire house. rather than honor first responders who lost their lives helping others 20 years ago, he continued to spread lies about the 2020 election. that same rhetoric is what helped drive a violent mob of his supporters to storm the capitol in a last-ditch attempt to prevent biden from taking office months ago. while the 9/11 terrorists and january 6th insurrections may have been threatened by what our democracy represents, both attacks remind us our freedom is wort fighting for. in fact, former president push emphasized that exact point this weekend. there is little cultural over lap between violent extremists abroad and at home. but there is destainful plural ris m and disregard for human life. in their determination to
whether saudi officials were complicit in the attacks. in shanksville, pennsylvania, former president george w. bush equated the terrorists behind the 9/11 behind 9/11 to the domestic terrorists driving the news today. there is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. but then there is disdain for pluralism and their disregard for human life, and their determination to defile national symbols. they are children of the same foul spirit. meanwhile, donald trump did not attend any officials memorials, but he did stop by n.y.p.d. and f.d.n.y. precincts close to trump tower where he decided to honor the 9/11 victims by bashing his political rivals, namely joe biden, who this week announced his new six-prong plan to defeat covid-19 once and for all. on friday the president struck a fiery tone when he announced a sweeping vaccine mandate requiring all executive branch federal employees to be vaccinated as well as ordering all u.
president biden: i am so disappointed, particularly with some of the republican governors, i have been so cavalier with the health of these. so cavalier with the health of the communities. this is, we are playing for real here. this isn t a game. jesse: republican sound like they are happy to oblige calling the mandates patently unusual. i don t believe that people should lose their jobs over this issue and we will fight that. we live in america and you would expect words like that from the president come it may be of communist china or north korea. this is not a power that s delegated to the federal government, it s unbelievable to me what he s doing. i knew he would wreck this country. jesse: and it looks like his vaccine mandates are just the beginning. the white house says buckle up because i could be more along the way. is he now considering mandating vaccinations to fly domestically? we are always look at more we can do to protect and save lives. obvious

mm-hmm, san francisco area, the east bay. are you surprised by this california recall of governor newsom? no. the thing about california ballot stuff is that in my sentient life as a california resident, even growing up as a kid who didn t care much about politics, it was clear to me that the stupidest stuff imaginable could get on the ballot with nobody exerting any real effort to get it there. once stuff s on the ballot, anything can happen. direct democracy can be cray. tax policy made by ballot initiative, when i was in elementary school, that stuff was absolutely nuts. and california ballot measures, people like direct democracy write stuff on the ballot there. it s always been a complete, umm, swear word. a complete swear word. this is a great way to transition you into a nice weekend, i hope. thank you, rachel. thank you, jonathan. all right. this isn t a game. that s how president biden scolded republicans who are outraged over his new efforts to combat th
