Forces. And its being conducted under difficult circumstances. I cannot promise what the final outcome will be. Or that it will be without risk of loss. But as Commander In Chief i can assure you that i will mobilize every resource necessary. The past week has been heartbreaking. Weve seen gutwrenching images of panicked people acting out of sheer desperation. You know, its completely understandable. Theyre frightened, theyre sad, uncertain what happens next. I dont think anyone, i dont think any One Of Us can see these pictures and not feel that pain on a human life. Now we have a mission, a mission to complete in afghanistan. The president there taking stock of days of harrowing scenes outside the airport in kabul including this video of a Baby Being handed over a wall to a u. S. Marine as well as taliban gunmen firing into the air and resorting to other brutal measures to try and disperse the thousands of people trying desperately to leave the country. While the airlift has led to a
The officers there, that day. Assaulted, that day. And we are going to play it for you, uncut. Its brutal and its ugly, and it contains profanity. And as you watch it, remember, the majority of republicans in congress do not want a full investigation into this. And some have even said, publicly, that what you are about to see didnt actually happen. Fucking piece of shit. [ inaudible ] fuck. Come on take your shit off take your shit off these are people carrying trump flags, and confederatebattle flags overrunning a Police Line outside the capitol. Trump supporters, violent ones. People willing to beat and trample members of law enforcement. People, willing to Assault Police officers, once they got inside. This, too, is new video. Its a different Angle And Footage you probably already seen of one officer getting crushed in a doorway. This is what is now being whitewashed. And the denial is now so deep, among the gop, that 21 house republicans could not these folks could not even bring t
Democrats start debating a voting Rights Bill. Also the completely unified republican opposition and the unwillingness for at least one Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia to end the practice of requiring 60 votes for measures like this to even get to the floor. Today President Obama weighed in on the vote and whats at stake. Right now at least republicans in the senate are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the for the people act from even being debated. Think about this. In the aftermath of an insurrection with our democracy on the line, and many of these same republican senators going along with the notion that somehow there were irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election they are suddenly afraid to even talk about these issues and figure out solutions on the floor of the senate. They dont even want to talk about voting. And that is not acceptable. The former president warned in his words that we cant take democracy for granted and, quote,
Fictional president. And he is now an adviser to Joe Biden. The fictional president , by the way you know me. Yes, Go On. Big hands. The fictional president was of Course Jet Bartlett on and receives the West Wing and our first guest was a Consultant Advisor to that fictional president and three real ones clinton, obama, and now biden. Take your time. We have all night. No, not gonna do it. This is in jeopardy. You have all night. Lawrence, would it profoundly affects our friendship even retroactively if i told you that ive never seen the West Wing . No because thats true of most people and a giant giant Tv Audience back then was 20 Million people which we used to get on the West Wing and now a giant Tv Audience is maybe 6 Million people. And bc is lucky if they can get 6 Million people to watch something. So what that tells you is, back when 20 Million people were watching, say, the West Wing, that meant a few hundred million warrants so thats kind of an important number. Its a very i
Whats the message . Hes with my guest tonight, lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. The wild west masking up and states and businesses are all scrambling to address the new Cdc Guidance that fully vaccinated people dont have to wear a mask anymore, not outdoors and indoors. The Guidance Results in a lot of confusions. Today President Biden doing little to clear up the confusion. As i said last week some people may want to continue to wear a mask even if they are fully vaccinated. Thats a decision they can make. Some businesses may want to continue requiring wearing masks. Whole depot and whole foods have not updated their mask policy. Now, nobody seems to know and it seems different even within a given store, nobody is sure and there is a lot of confusion. While 20 states plus the District Of Columbia drops mask rules, it is confusing. Take maryland, the state is saying okay, you can take the masks off. The city of baltimore, the biggest city in the state is not. Some sta
