the fda made that really interesting recommendation. the booster shot doesn t have to be the same brand as the other vaccine you got in the first place. again, we had known that the fda was considering data that showed very promising results for mixing and matching different brands of vaccines. the recommendation tonight is, therefore, not a surprise. but it is interesting. the next step is for the cdc to do a look at the data and recommendations. they ll do that tomorrow. and then once the cdc is through the process, we ll get form alvis to the public and to health providers as soon as they decide. so that could be as soon as tomorrow. st it could be any time in the next few days. it means that booster shots could be rolling out in a much bigger way as soon as the end of this week. that s a big advance in terms of our nation s approach to vaccination. the white house today also put out more guidance to the states about preparing, getting ready to start vaccinating kids ages
than a madison avenue version of reality. all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. a story that joe biden likes to tell and it s one that we like to tell as well probably for the same reasons is about the vaccine policy over at fox news. see last month after president biden announced a new sweeping plan to get millions of people vaccinated and safely back to work, fox news started attacking him nonstop for ushering a new era of toll tall takerian tyranny. we can tell you the shutdown of southwest airlines over the weekend was a direct consequence, it was a reaction to joe biden s vaccine mandate. we had to elect this rotting bag of oatmeal to get a real tyrant zblcht he s not mad at the taliban anymore. he s angry at you. or at least the 80 million americans who haven t been vaccinated. vaccine mandates were so popular, why the hard sell? why the shaming? why set up the covid cast system that you re doing? the actual story, the one tha
years running elections in a different texas county in that different texas county she had been universally praised by that county s leaders. i mean by all accounts, hood county made a really good choice when they picked somebody to come in and be the sort of technocrat who would administer the elections. and in fact when it came time for the presidential election in november of last year, november 2020, things went off absolutely without a hitch. in hood county. now i should mention that hood county is really, really conservative. it is really republican. to prove my point, these were the results in hood county from the november election. trump won 81% the vote there. he beat joe biden by 64 points. over the entire state of texas, donald trump s margin of victory was six points. in hood county, it was 64 points. absolute landslide. and so, if you were a trump supporter who ferve ently believes what trump says, which is that the 2020 election was stolen from it him, you may b
There is no reason to get rid of the filibuster or to carve it out on specific issues. seven months down the road, how do you feel republicans have played their hand? we have had some bipartisan bills. but it wasn t due to the leadership. it was a group of sort of a group from both sides that negotiated the major infrastructure bill, for example, that got 69 votes. i mean that was major accomplishment. but today is an indication and what really bothers me, rachael, is quite often you ll have the votes, you know be procedural votes slowing things down and maybe have negotiations. the democrats blocked the consideration of the cares act but then there was two or three weeks of negotiations. we ended up with a really good bill. it passed unanimously. what is happening now is there seems to be no forthcoming discussion from the republicans. no interest in any part of the bill that we voted on today. as you point out, it was a
That never happens. a filibuster now is two damn easy, you pick up the phone and call the majority leader and say i fill burster this bill. that s it. 60 votes. you don t have to hold the floor. you don t have to do anything. there is space to allow protection to the minority but wouldn t allow the minority to effectively have a veto over important legislation majrle in this area. if this was a policy on other issue or another, i m not sure where i would be. that s what is at risk, rachael will. i have never been so worried about the future of my country.
