And moment of truth as a divide in the party throws the president s agenda into question. We ought not talk about these numbers. Lets talk about what needs to be done. But can democratic governors get it done. I will speak with Jim Clyburn ahead. As President Biden tries to refocus on his legislative agenda, pushing through a massive 3. 5 trillion Spending Bill that could define his presidency. Only furthering confusion, for so many americans, as the pandemic hits another horrifying milestone this week, one in 500 americans have died from the virus, more than 673,000 people represented here on the national mall with flags for each death. This debate over boosters comes as the biden administration is on its heels, with a number of of crises of its own doing, facing a devastating acknowledgment from the pentagon friday that a Drone Strike in afghanistan killed ten civilians, a surge of migrants at the southern border leaving thousands of people, mostly from haiti, huddled under a bridge

So we cant know for certain exactly how many americans in country. We will get any american who wants to get to the airport and who we get in contact with who says, i want to get out and get on a plane. We will make that happen. This is a risky operation. We right now have established contact with the taliban to allow for the Safe Passage of people to the airport and that is working at the moment.

Reporter: as the biggest public health crisis in a century threatens to get a lot worse, the warnings to the unvaccinated are getting stronger. In
The ongoing movement to undermine the election of 2022, state by state trumpist push to replace the people who held the line in 2020. Then europe s socalled last dictator using a fighter jet to stop a passenger airplane and arrest an journalist, increasing boldness of autocrats. Note of caution over the wuhan lab theory. And what looks like real progress on bipartisan reform bill. All in starts now. Good evening, i m chris hayes. Lot of news on the democracy front. Weird thing to say but in 2021, possibly most important beat there is. Our democracy survived awful assault this year when rioter descended to everturn the results of free and fair election.
