they wanted american support for french independent defense efforts in europe. independent additional to nato. that is being done. and they wanted signals that france would genuinely be a partner in america, efforts to deal with china, competition in the indopacific and also that is being done, as officials talk in detail how to draw france into their efforts. i think they've worked hard on this. we'll just have to see over the next days whether biden is really back. whether he's seen as representing a strong and united america or whether european doubts continue. >> what are you going to be watching for to give you that answer? >> i'll be watching, as always, at these gatherings, the body language. i'm going to be watching the communique. i think biden will go to the glasgow summit conference, which begins on sunday, with a very strong hand, assuming that he can get the progress he's seeking and finalizing his budget deal. to go with a commitment of $555 billion in climate change spending to a conference where nobody has got anywhere close to that in terms of c

time is running short before the president heads to europe. progressives say they need to see legislation, it's not good enough. that seems big at mind to manage here. what will the president's involvement in the next couple of days. we know he has senator manchin in delaware. should we expect something similar with senator sinema this week. >> sure, he was really encouraged by the agreement of moving forward and want to get things done. it does feel i know for people watching that this is messy and we'll never get there. this is what it looks like when you are near the finish line. this is going to be the largest investment addressing the climate crisis ever in history. to give everybody a sense, a recovery act when it was passed when the president was vice president, six times incise. this is the largest investment in child care. it's also going to expand access to healthcare. what we are talking about now is how you do that? how do you expand medical care? there is a lot of ideas out there. we are at the stage where we have to make a decisi

we will have the latest on the g20 summit right now in europe. "velshi" starts right now. >>> good morning. today, democrats may finally have a deal, but at a cost. heather from the white house council of economic advisers joins me next to talk about the latest and what we get and lose and what comes next. >>> the deadline for the new york city first responders to get the first vaccine dose has come and gone. that is setting up closures happening. i'll talk to the head of the new york firefighters union for the support for those protesting the mandate. >>> a preview of the post-roe landscape from someone who had been studying the laws for over a decade and a certain twice impeached president is trying to keep hidden from the january 6th investigation. "velshi" starts now. good morning. saturday, october 30th. i'm ali velshi. we are find ourselves in the middle of the breakthrough of the plan to shore up america's social safety net. there is a lot to gain from what the president announced this week, but much we are about to lose. the plan was cut

it could be next year, perhaps somewhere else in europe. that's going to be an important moment akin to what we saw when president biden met this past summer. there is an opportunity for biden who is mostly popular with his foreign con temp contemperaries. is biden the aberration or was trump the aberration. we won't know that until 2024 at least. on climate change hope even if the president comes there without meaningful legislation in hand that he will strike a tone that other nations can follow and hopefully then white house aides say in short order after he returns to the united states they can get this legislation done. >> let's turn to the latest with covid-19 where new coronavirus cases plummet nationwide. the united states is now averaging roughly 70,000 new cases per day. that's a 20% drop the past two weeks. >> great news. >> the number of people dying from the virus is still high. about 1,400 each day. but represents a 15% drop over the same period. that number has steadily decreased throughout the fall. that is good news. >> and

they did it -- i guess in europe, but the pfizer vaccine available in the u.s., is not fda approved. it's got emergency use authorization. >> absolutely not true. like you're probably watching that at home thinking, no i don't think that's true. i'm pretty sure i've heard about the actual authorization. 100% wrong. the pfizer vaccine, received full fda approval back in august of this year. it was a big deal. it was the front page of the newspapers. they covered and all the news. it's proof, individual 16 agent. over it's now being marketed, under the name, community. which is not the name i would've chosen, but that's not my job to choose those names. so i honestly, i watch this a few, times i don't know for sure, if ron johnson is just confused an adult that can't quite get there with the new name of the drug. or if he's just lying. but tucker carlson, who works in news. doesn't seem to care one way or the other. and, listen to me, do not underestimate how many lives are being pumped into people watching these shows. media matters on the. numbers they shared new stutter with us it w

like the president is going to leave for europe regardless. it doesn't matter if he has something in hand as much politically he wants to have a deal to go over there to italy and then scotland. same with the governors race next week. the two things are not inherently linked even though people want them to be. are democrats facing debate giving up things? >> probably not. as you stated, these are not hard deadlines, but they do affect morale and confidence and belief and faith and what's going to happen moving forward, and i think we saw this, you know, when it came to the coronavirus pandemic and the july 4th deadline. these are not things that, you know, have to be accomplished by these specific dates, but it certainly does take some of the wind, you know, out of the and to say that mission was accomplished by the time that we, you know, set for it to be done. and that can really make it very difficult to remind or should i say convince the voters that the party has done what they said they would do when they said they would do it. >> "the w

interestingly, one senior europe diplomat told me in the past 24 hours that they were convinced, actually, that the president would get the build back better act passed. that's important because part of that act is the climate change measures that he hopes to kind of bring with him for the big climate change conference that he now goes onto in scotland. it looks good. interesting thing on the iran deal, yasmin, i think, actually, despite the fact that in the past few hours, we heard the news from the europeans and americans, that may be one of the trickiest aspects at all, those negotiations with iran are very, very difficult. it is nuclear brinkmanship and there's no necessary certainty that there will be a deal. >> and we well know, iran can oftentimes be its worst enemy. keir, i'm curious, how are leaders perceiving what's happening domestically? who are they placing the blame on when it comes to getting infrastructure and build back better across the finish line. is it president, democrats, republicans? are they kind of up to speed on the nuances of what's happening here at home? >> r

the president is leaving for europe. they're not getting it done by election day, tuesday, so he has to run on his own merits. >>> washington state's republican secretary of state kim wineman, who pushed back against trump's false claims of fraud in the 2020 election, has been tapped to serve as the biden administration's election of voter security. she will step down on november 19th after accepting the administration's offer to join the department of homeland security's cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency. she will serve as the government's liaison to the states and will be responsible for overseeing the administration's effort to protect future u.s. elections. sam stein, "politico" have some new polling on trust in the u.s. election system, to the point here. what'd you find? >> not good, willie. >> thanks for being with us, sam. we'll be right back. >> bring the kid in. >> yeah. might be better at analysis than me. we measured party lines. as you can imagine, it's split. 77% of democrats say they have tr

they did it for the comonati, i guess it's available in europe, but the pfizer vaccine available in the u.s. is not fda approved. it's got emergency use authorization. >> absolutely not true. like you're probably watching that at home thinking no, i don't think that's true. i'm pretty sure i heard about the actual authorization. 100% wrong. the pfizer vaccine received full fda approval back in august of this year. it was a big deal. it was on the front page of newspapers. they covered it all over the news. right? it's approved for individuals 16 years of age and over. it is now being marketed under the name comernadi, which is not the name i would have chosen but that's not my job to choose those names. so i honestly -- i don't know for sure if ron johnson is just like confused and addled and can't quite get there with the new name of the drug or he's just lying. but tucker carlson, who works in news, doesn't seem to cake one way or the other. do not underestimate how many lies are being pumped into people watching these shows. media matters ran the numbers. he they showed a new study w

is going to make good on its promises, europe and other factions, and they don't. it affects everybody. >> you're absolutely right, alex. you know, china is by far the biggest polluter in the world. india is going to have literally five times as much electricity generation in 2050 as they do now. but what i believe will happen is that clean energy over fossil fuel energy. no reason for people to build more coal plants no reason to build natural gas plants. the ideas coming from the private sector are going to make it imperative for countries around the world to build clean energy, use electric vehicles that will be cheaper and better. governments have to lead. there is a huge signal that has to come out of glasgow, scotland, this week, but that signal is going to reverberate in economic systems around the world, and i truly believe that private sector is going to take up this mantle from governments and really blow everybody's mind in the best possible way. >> i tell you, from your lips to the lawmakers ears for sure. let's hope that's the case. let's remind people

biden is hoping to get a deal before he leaves for europe on thursday. also tonight, moderna now says its covid-19 vaccine is safe and effective for children 6 through 11 years old. tomorrow an fda advisory panel meets to discuss authorizing pfizer shots for younger children. with that, let's bring in our starting line on this monday night. philip rucker, pulitzer prize winning senior washington correspondent of the "washington post," carol leonnig with the "new york times" best seller, i alone can fix it, donald trump's catastrophic final year. and associate editor and columnist for real clear politics, and professor melissa murray, law clerk for justice sonia sotomayor on the federal bench prior to her nomination to the supreme court. good evening, and welcome to all of you indeed counselor, i would like to begin with you because the white house counsel has, again, said there's no privilege worries here. we're going to open up the files on the existing records from 1/6. what happens next, professor, especially considering this is under lawsuit? >> well

not just because of the election in virginia, but because our president goes to the g 20 meeting in europe and then to the climate meeting in glasgow. i want to see us send him off with the strongest possible hand to pull together our allies in the fight against climate change and in strengthening our place on the world stage. >> let me ask you about that specifically. i know that climate change is something you've talked a lot about. it's top of mind for many democrats. we've seen what joe manchin has done. he has pushed back against many of these initiatives, including that clean electricity performance initiative that he says cannot happen. do you have a line in the sand the way you just heard bernie sanders talk about? is there something in climate change that you say this has to be in the bill? >> i'm not one of the members who's going to say but for this one thing, i will vote against the bill. i have worked diligently, tirelessly with my colleagues, because virtually our entire caucus agrees that investing in combatting climate through new tax incentives for scaling up clean energy

, bill any bill, beyond the naming of national peach month between now and when he is wheels up for europe on thursday? >> yes brian. president biden very much wants to have one if not both of these bills signs and done by the time he leaves for europe, in part because there is a major climate conference, convening this weekend, and he wants to be able to announce there that the united states, has signed into law, some major climate change legislation, that of course is contained, in what, happened a three and a half trillion dollar social spending package, that is now being whittled, down effectively in half, my colleagues on capitol hill are reporting at this hour, that it appears there honing in on a deal for that 1.7 five trillion, we were there still haggling with senator joe manchin of west virginia, senator kyrsten sinema of arizona, over a couple of the key elements of that bill. specifically the expansion of medicare and medicaid, the expansion of the paid family leave program. and some of the climate measures that manchin is opposing, in part because of the power of the coal indu

number one president biden could still be in europe, if not on his way back. perhaps democrats who sent him empty handed to europe will give him something to tout. also, it's the governors election in virginia. terry mcauliffe said he wants to see the bill passed. perhaps this is a gift they're giving to the governor in virginia ahead of a really tough race there. alex? >> thank you for that comprehensive report. >>> more breaking news to share. we're taking you live to rome. that's where the leaders are taking part in that g-20 summit. that includes president biden arriving there for that gala dinner. that is not president biden. it's been a very busy day overseas for the president meeting with several world leaders. just a few hours ago the president sat down with european allies to discuss the iran nuclear deal. meanwhile, the race for governor in virginia is as tight as can be. the candidates are neck and neck. terry mcauliffe, democrat, has 49% support of likely voters. youngkin close behind with 48%. democrats have taken the lead in early voting ahead of

he has funneled tons of cocaine into the united states, into europe. he's an individual that has killed police officers, soldiers, social activists. he's engaged not only in cocaine trafficking but also the abuse of young females. this man is a very cruel, heartless drug trafficker and i'm sure he's going to be extradited to the united states because he's wanted on charges here in miami and then also in the southern district of new york. >> talk to us about the operation to get somebody like this. i mean, 500 armed officers plus special forces. you have dealt with some big takedowns over your career. what was it like to get this guy? >> it took a lot of planning. the planning took place on the 15th of this month in bogota. then it was executed very quickly. we knew that he had eight rings of security, of gunmen surrounding him. so it was going to take a huge force of army, air force and then also colombia national police. and they also had air cover provided by helicopters with .50 caliber machine guns that sprayed the jungle area to scatter all of his

, i've done a lot of work in, europe's biggest rake in germany in decades, just happened in berlin. where the workers, 30,000 workers striking in berlin, hospital workers just saying we're not going to take it anymore. what's interesting is, we have a great minority of workers said that you are represented by unions, but i think to your point. there are a lot of people who are watching unionized workers going on strike and winning, and that's the motivating factor in. think when people see people going on strike in winning. and not being punished, it actually emboldens more people to, do it and it's a way to show american workers at large, hey there's something you can do when you act collectively you can win more. >> i also wonder, to him thinking about. this is the psychological effects of the pandemic, that life is too sure. honestly, i think a lot of people. look at these numbers, 1952, 2.7 million workers out on strike. in 2020 which is during the pandemic, 27, 000, so that's a factor of 1000, but we think of the world war ii period in the period afterwards, at this period of n

look for that this week or next before the president heads to europe. thank you all for getting up "way too early" on this wednesday morning. "morning joe," perhaps with a discussion of a bad call at home plate, starts right now. >>> breaking ball just missed. tried to backdoor the breaking ball. we talked about it earlier in the series. five pitches, at least 10% or more, and he throws all of them for strikes. best strike thrower on the roster. >> controversy at fenway in the pivotal ninth inning last night. i suspect there's going to be heavy discussion this morning. good morning. welcome to "morning joe." wednesday, october 20th. along with joe, mika, and me, we have former u.s. senator and msnbc political analyst claire mccaskill. with the "associated press," jonathan lemire. i didn't see it live. i watched it for the first time. >> do you know how tired we are? >> tied at two with two outs at the top of the inning, right? >> yes. >> that looked like a strike to me, even to this yankee fan. >> it was a strike. he threw the perfect pitch. it painted

president biden at this hour in europe at the start of a week that he told democrats could determine the future of his presidency and democratic control of congress. in just a few minutes, he's going to hold his first face-to-face meeting with french president emmanuel macron s

and that leaves biden in europe for a big climate change summit without congressional signoff on his climate agenda. it leaves the white house without a key victory at a moment where they badly need some wins as the president's approval ratings continue to decline. and it leaves democrats in virginia twisting in the wind in a governor's race where republicans seem to have all the momentum. a new fox poll out of virginia has glen youngkin up 8 points. eight points of terry mcauliffe. that poll is an outlier, but even if the poll is off by ten, it's still a tossup race. and tossup is where the new washington post poll has this contest. this is a dead heat. and there's also the political reality facing democrats that passing a huge piece of legislation ahead of a president's first midterm cycle isn't always the political life preserver the party in power hopes it will be. democrats found that out the hard way after passing the affordable care act and then republicans learned the sam lesson after signing in trump's tax reforms. the party in power got hammered hard in the following midter

that had not happened in europe since world war ii but russia did that to ukraine in 2014. russia under putin had been pushing it to be considered a part of the g8. him invading ukraine and taking part of it and calling that part of ukraine russia that was too much. that was too much for the g8. russia got booted indefinitely out of the g8 in 2014 and that is how the g8 shrunk and become the g7. so the g7 still exists minus russia now. but then there is also the g20. and the g20 is not seven countries. it's 20 countries. and, therefore, by definition, it's less exclusive. and it turns out if you want to be a part of the g20, it's fine if you invade a neighboring country and take part of their land as your own. even when they kicked russia out of the g7, they let them stay in the g20. and lots of people have stayed in the g20 through lots of scandals. but when president biden leaves washington tomorrow to fly off to this year's g20 summit in rome, there is a source of embarrassment, a sign of something gone wrong in our country that he is going to be bringing with him, that

and in europe, and in new zealand, in australia. they've all shown, and canada, they've all shown a means to getting to this. but here in this country, where these companies are located, our legislators, i don't know if you can guess how much legislation covers the internet brian. how much do you think? how much you do? imagine i read as much as i should for my job. not much i'm guessing is the setup here. >> zero, there is no legislation. there is none. there is one piece of legislation that protects them and gives them immunity. so we don't have adequate data protection laws, for the internet. we do not have a national privacy bill. we don't have an anti-acting bill. you can go on and on, on a lot of things. and so until we have just one piece of legislation that controls these companies. we are going to have the same outcome. and we are out there, whatever they feel like doing, we are going to have to do. and the only power is the federal government government to deal with. this and we will see what they do. >> so philip rucker,

they mean this week to europe. there are in hand-to-hand combat. the animals all gone they've switched to bayonet's, they're just trying to get it done. said john podesta, founder of the progressive thing town center for american progress. it's gotta be a lot if it made podesta go military there. jonathan lin here, what reporting have you that they are any closer than they were yesterday or last friday night? >> yeah, bayonet sterling a strong image, brian. there is some concern because there's a trio of deadlines. but at -- at the end of the month. number two, the number the race we've been talking about, the virginia governor race -- taking this a usual stephen begging the white house and congressional -- at least pass the infrastructure part of it if not the reconciliation bill. to give him something to run off. which shows the alarm he's experiencing about his candidacy. and then of course he has to present on thursday, had to europe, rome first audience with the pope, and then the g20 summit. jinping will take will be there. the president does

progressives about the timing of these particular votes means maybe the president will be wheels up for europe without anything completely agreed to. today and tomorrow, i'm told he'll be working behind the scenes, talking with lawmakers, seeing if they can get closer to yes. but the president here really wanting to bring this on the world stage to show world leaders how serious he is about these things. the white house is saying that's not a deadline we had set. it was congressional leadership who had halloween circled. obviously there is an intense optical and diplomatic intention here to try to have the president be able to tout something. later this morning we'll hear from the national security adviser, jake sullivan, on how they'll walk that fine line with this trip just around the corner and no deal in sight yet. >> john, progressives may be making demands as of yesterday, but is this white house listening? right now it seems like joe manchin is the guy the president is with. >> yeah. he's focused on manchin and sinema of arizona. manchin is speaking right now as we're talking. he's givi

he said, jim, the secret is, you go to europe. don't think you're going to become charlemagne. don't think you're going to take over the roman empire. it was a classic colin powell line. as i was leaved, he gave me a copy of his memoir which i highly recommend. "my american journey" which takes us from his journey as an immigrant. he describes in the book don't be charlemagne. it's pretty good for all of us. in other words, keep your ego in check. another point that strikes a lot of us in uniform, but veterans and those on active duty, we remember general powell. he was a great secretary of state and national security adviser. before that he was an army soldier wounded in vietnam, got the soldier's medal for rescuing others in vietnam, and always that combat experience shaded the advice he gave to presidents, to cabinet officers, to cap weinberger, all that jeremy and others have discussed was shaped by his experience as an american soldier, so we've lost a great military leader, a true north to so many of us, and also we've lost someone of humor and grace and kindness. just lo

we pay three times as much for the same pharmaceuticals as europe. and that's because the biggest purchaser of pharmaceuticals in our country can't negotiate. all their governments negotiate. that's ridiculous. a child tax credit reduced child poverty by half. biggest middle class, working class low income tax cut in the history of the country. people like the elements. we have to start talking about what the elements are and not call it the reconciliation package. >> well, let's call this segment a blueprint and a call to action from a guy who knows from the u.s. senate because he's been there. al franken, friend of this broadcast, thank you very much for joining us from the twin cities tonight. >> thanks, brian. >>> coming up for us, new reporting on how the january 6 committee is bracing for a collision and a legal fight with many of those who thought overturning the election was a good idea, including the guy who sent them down there. m down thee they may have lost an eye, or their hearing, or their youthful good looks. but there's a lot of thing

the "new york times" is reporting while this big reconciliation bill is in europe, she is in europe for a fundraising trip? >> right. "new york times" reporting that she is in paris fundraising for the democratic senatorial committee. we have not heard back from her campaign. but like virginia, arizona is one of those states where these individuals so much is being looked at. and kyrsten sinema is not up for re-election until 2024, but this is the conversation that we'll be having. yes, mark kelly will be up first in 2022. we don't expect a primary challenge against mark kelly. but everybody's eyes right now on are on 2024 and kyrsten sinema, and the congressman from phoenix continuing to look at him. there were calls for him to run against mark kelly two years ago. and serious conversations looking a male latino veteran running in a primary against kyrsten sinema as you see her approval numbers going down. and at the same i'm is that going to pass an infrastructure bill? we don't know. >> vaughn hillyard covering it all for us. good to see you. >>> coming up here, new pledges from face

a deal could be on the horizon as democrats work to reach a deal before biden leaves for europe. >>> tired of seeing those qanon posts from your uncle from facebook? we'll take a look at how facebook knew about radicalized users. >>> i am ayman, let's get started >> for a first time in a long time, the house democratic leadership told its members expect a vote on both the build back better legislation and the bipartisan infrastructure bill next week. we still don't have a final copy of the bill yet. yes, we are starting to hear more about what's in and what's out as i mentioned earlier. spoiler alert, much of what's included is a water down version of the items the president campaigned on. but, washington in and the future of our country is still dancing in the wings of two conservative senators, obviously republicans who do not want to be apart of it. take tax increases on corporations and the wealthiest among us. a deal breaker for kristen sinema. >> she will not raise a single penny on taxes on the corporate side and on wealthy people. period. >> okay, senator sinema, position lik

instead of sticking around to hammer out a deal she has left the country for a fund-raising trip in europe. her spokesman said sinema has continued to speak with president biden and her senate colleagues adding "phones and fax work everywhere." i mean, sure. true. still, it's pretty weird behavior for a u.s. senator. i mean, just here's an example of of what you could be doing. look at, say, her colleague chris murphy. chris murphy is spending his recess doing his annual walk across the entire state of connecticut, meeting with people and talking to constituents across the political spectrum and all walks of life and listening to their concerns because he represents them. that's a thing you can do with your recess. one idea. now, on top of all this reuters is reporting that at an online meeting sinema told fellow democrats in the house of representatives this week she will not vote for a multitrillion-dollar package that is a top priority for president joe biden, before congress approves a $1 trillion infrastructure bill. so my question for senator sinema is this. what are you doing here?

we were able to send the president off to europe with that endorsement. and then, rachel, we got the text. we got the text which is what i said we needed, and guess what? when you put those demands forward, actually, you can make stuff happen. so we got the text for the bill. it is 1400 pages. we're going through it right now. and our caucus, as you know, already agreed that we would vote on the infrastructure bill if we had the build back better act and the text of the build back better act, that the two bills would move together. rachel, i feel like we are very close. but the most important thing is this. three weeks ago when i was on your show, we did not have a bill that had 50 senators. the white house was engaged but not nearly as engaged as they have been. we did not have progressives and moderates and whoever elses in the house to vote. in the end, with the two progressives saying this bill has to go somewhere because we're not leaving it behind, there was more negotiation that happened than happened in the last six months with these two senators.

president biden did formally delay this planned morning departure to europe for the g20 that was today which seems like a sign that's spending negotiations are getting close, maybe. today was a policy roll are coaster, progressives and this group of holdout democrats made what could be the final moves in the march to pass this giant spending package so crucial to biden's opening plans for his administration and according to the president crucial for america. now what is the president telling us? why is it like i said to be just honest and transparent with you hard to interpret in he combines sort of the victorious language of historic, the well worn washington caveat of a framework implying no final written legislation. >> after months of tough and thoughtful negotiations, i think we have an historic, i know we have historic economic framework. no one got everything they wanted, including me, but that's what compromise is. that's consensus and that's what i ran on. >> no one got everything they wan-ted, biden almost dipping into past tense this is ending because he's won and there are

from europe, from the united kingdom. the fully vaccinated people are being vaccinated, the fully vaccinated people are dying from covid. and here we have the very high-profile example, that's going to require more truth, more truth from our government, morris true for martial theaters as well. >> another fox news anchor wrote as well -- now deleted -- the fact that colin powell died from a breakthrough covid infection raises new concerns about how effective our long term. he later deleted that and apologized -- the context here is that we're experiencing the deadliest bout of misinformation in all of our lifetimes, around precisely the vaccine. much of it coming from -- that push the lies from the met weapons of mass destruction, though they were not alone in that. here are the actual facts, according to the send -- out of the more than 187 million people have been fully backs in the u.s.. 0.00 zero 4% died from a breakthrough infection. that's pretty small. now to his credit, colin powell pendant -- but he waited up int

we were able to send the president off to europe with that endorsement. and then rachel, we got the text, we got the text which is what i said we needed, and guess what. when you put those demands forward, actually, you can make stuff happen. and so we got the text, for the bill, it is 1400 pages, we are going through right now. and our caucus, as you know, already agreed, that we would vote on the infrastructure bill, if we had the build back better act, and the text of the build back better act. that the two bills would move together. rachel, i feel like, we are very close, the most important thing is, three weeks ago, when i was on your show, we did not have a bill that had 50 senators, the white house was engaged but not nearly as engaged of they have been, we did not have progressives and moderates and whoever else is, in the house, ready to vote for the build back better act, there was all kinds of back and forth about it, and in three weeks, by progressives holding the line and seeing these two bills need to go together, because we are not leaving

here for the white house is trying to see if they can get this done before the president leaves for europe a week from tomorrow. that is a very, very tight time frame, but we're told that officials here and on the go that that is something the president expressed desire for trying to accomplish. maybe it won't be signed, sealed, and deliver, but at least the agreement, framework, the price tag, all of those details that are still outstanding might have a handshake agreement before the president leaves for rome and of course to glasgow, that critical climate summit. that's another thing we're still watching for. we don't know how much money will be directed to that all-important issue. the president already conceding that he is going to have to slash it dramatically to get something passed, jose. >> monique alba and ali vitali, thank you both for being with me this morning. >>> turning now to the news out west. 21 people safely escaped a fiery plane crash near houston yesterday. it's just amazing that they all got out alive. the md-87 jet struggled to gain altitude on takeoff before crashin

the house of representatives so that he could have a bill signing ceremony as soon as he returns from europe while the house and senate would then be completing the series of votes necessary to pass the $1.75 trillion bill under the reconciliation rules that allows the democrats to pass the bill in the senate with a simple majority vote. a group of about 30 progressives in the house were threatening to not vote for the infrastructure bill, a bill that they are in favor of. they are in favor of that bill but they are saying they would not vote for it until they saw the text of the $1.75 trillion bill and just after airforce one took off, the house rules committee released the text of that bill with a page count of 1,684. and speaker pelosi at her 2:00 p.m. press conference said this. >> so those who said i want to see text, the text is there. for you to review, for you to complain about. for you to add to. to subtract from. whatever it is. we'll see what consensus emerges from that. >> the clear consensus that emerged from that text was 99%. 99% of the democrats in congress support that text.

is way behind a lot of other civilized nations, most notably, in europe and asia, in terms of testing frequency and availability, many americans still lack access to regular, and affordable testing. back with us tonight, doctor patel, clinical physician former senior policy aide during the obama administration, also happens to be one of our public health experts and nonresident fellow at brookings. doctor, i want to read you a quote from doctor -- at brown university. he says quote, we wasted all of last, year when rapid test would have saved thousands of, lives there still enormously important, we need to make antigen test widely available, today's white house decision, helps a lot, indeed doctor, i heard today, if you live in the uk, twice a week, walk and walk out. free testing. how far behind, are we on this? >> yeah brian good evening, we have been very far behind, other countries, the uk for example, you can call a phone number, or send a text, and he'll immediately at your doorstep receive five free antigen test, i think testing is important to individuals, but it's also import

like to begin with you tonight, and your reaction to that video, of senator sinema, you wrote, one of europe and pieces, about her current posture in the senate. in there she, is continuing, a completely, i don't know what's a call, defiance? of public accountability? is it an inability to comprehend? go ahead sorry. >> it looks to me like contempt for public accountability. what's significant is, you can sort of make an argument, that you're not accountable to the national press corps, if you're talking about your constituents. if you're talking to the people who put you in office. but what progressives, particularly progressives globalized to elect senator sinema to the senate in 2018 say. is that she won't meet with, them she won't talk with them. she doesn't do any sort of public events. in arizona, and so, i disapprove of the stunned people pulled the other day, when they followed her into the bathroom, but nobody has been able to communicate with her, as far as i, know in any way whatsoever, and she holds at this point, the fate of the biden presidency, the fate of the republic, in her

he's heading to europe with a significant focus on climate change. that's part of his infrastructure agenda also. not the sales show we were expect, but it's happening today in connecticut. >> as you were speaking, we saw the president exit air force one and now boarding as he's headed to connecticut. you mentioning he's going to be selling the build back better agenda to get infrastructure over the finish line. before i let you go, how often from what you're hearing is the president speaking to both joe manchin -- kyrsten sinema, and making calls? >> reporter: they don't want to read out every one of the conversations. very often the president himself is the one getting on the phones. the conversations have been happening at a very high level with the senior staff. the white house officials leading the charge on this, susan rice, the domestic policy adviser joining this late. the president is one who when officials are saying now is the time to hop on the phone, they're ready on a short moment's notice to get the president on the phone. so as i talk

we're seeing data from europe, the united kingdom, that fully vaccinated people are being hofld, and fully vaccinated people are dieing from covid, and we have a high profile example that is going to require more truth from our government, our health leaders as well. >> another fox news anchor who wrote in a deleted tweet, the fact that colin powell died from a breakthrough covid infection raises concerns. he apologized, saying he's provaccine, a reporter not an anchor. we are experiencing the deadliest bout of misinformation in our lifetimes, much of it coming from the same network that pushed the lies about the weapons of mass destruction, though they were not alone in that. here are the actual facts from the centers of disease control and prevention, out of the more than 187 million people who had been fully vaccinated, .004% died from a breakthrough infection. that's pretty small. colin powell repented for the monstrous deception of the iraq war. the way we ended up in iraq is was not an anomaly, equally monstrous about the pandemic are leading to needless deaths every day. miche

in europe, european countries on average supplement childcare to the tune of $14,000 per child. and our country, $500 per child. we -- people want childcare so they can go to work. people want to work. and it is so expensive to have quality childcare. people want to know they can leave their kids with somebody who is in a safe environment, where they're being nurtured, where people know how to do child education. we need to do these things. that's what's the curator this is. is getting this done. and that's why, my quorum a colleagues have to get this done, and the sooner the better. >> i'll franken, thank you for having us in, as always greatly appreciated you spending some time with us on monday night. coming up for us, why some republicans are worried the only twice impeached retiree in the entire state of florida, could actually cost the party he controls. seats in congress. we'll explain. congress. we'll explain. comfortable, dually-adjustable, foot-warming, temperature-balancing, proven quality night sleep we've ever made. save up to $800 on sleep number 360 smart beds. -
