and so they want to continue with that america, and in an american where you can be a white supremacist. where you can wear a camp auschwitz sweatshirt. where you can run shot over the constitution -- >> who would they ever vote for except someone on that side of the aisle pitching them that? >> because they look at those people as rhinos. and because this was the person who stood up for them the most in that horrible way, the worst part of their personality. >> i get it he was the worst. i'm with you. >> that's why. >> i still don't get the political calculus, but i do believe. i have bella, mario and cha cha, weird with the bedtime with cha cha, but they were watching tonight, and ordinarily, that's only because they really are jonesing to see you if it happens, but they needed to watch tonight with my inlaws in one place and christine in another one, because we're split like every other family, who is in school and who isn't. they will likely never see anything like this again where people who were almost victimized by an insurrection refuse to hold the man without question -- >> i w

that is the promise of america. and no matter what he did over these long, long four years or so, donald trump couldn't break that promise. america's promise will now be the hands of joe biden, the 46th president of the united states. i know you've been down. a lot of us have. i know you're going, what is wrong with me? we had a lot going on. death, destruction, lies, threats, all of it. you had a reason. but now you have a reason to be hopeful. so as chris said, together, let's get through this together. let's bring our democracy back. peak performance. let's bring in jeff zeleny. thank you so much. i want to give -- self-correct. 74.2 million people, i got my math a little bit wrong with chris. when i make a mistake, i correct it, unlike the former administration, or the one on the way out. good evening jeff. how are you? >> good evening. >> on the eve of joe biden's inauguration, he honored the 400,000 americans who died from covid. it was an emotional moment. talk to me about what we're going to see tomorrow. >>

, because america, the foundation of america was built on racism and those people are trying to preserve that. this is not about politics. and so i think we do ourselves a disservice because it's so easy to put it in that frame. because we can say, oh, well, it gives us an easy way out so we don't have to have the tough talk about talking about the origins of this country. >> well, it depends on who the us is. you want a tough question? >> yeah, sure. go for it. >> here's a tough question i've been hearing a bit about recently. >> hang on, let me finish and then you can ask me the tough question. so i think that in order to do ourselves meaning the country any good, we've got to get down to the nitty-gritty of what this is. and it is about what i said and i standby it, preserving whiteness in the worst possible way. if you find yourself, chris, in a crowd and the person next to you is carrying a confederate battle flag or the person next to you has on a neo-nazi symbol of some type or has on an camp auschwitz then in your mind wouldn't you say my goodness, i have made the wrong decision

we do have a president, joe biden, is condemning the hate in america. he's condemning it without explicitly saying it that it is a hate crime. here it is. >> too many asian-americans have been walking up and down the streets and worrying, waking up each morning, the past year failing their safety and loved ones are at stakstakes. they have been attacked and harassed and verbally assaulted and physically assaulted and killed. documented incident against hate against asian-americans have seen a skyrocketing spike over the last year led alone the ones that happened and never got reported. it has been a year living in fears for their lives just to walk down the street. >> so the vice president, kamala harris, the first female, first black, south asian vice president, not naming names but saying asian-american haves been scapegoated ever since the start of the pandemic by people in power. >> the last year we had people in position of incredible power scapegoating asian-americans. people with the biggest puppets spreading this kind of hate, ultimately this is

[ cheers and applause ] >> listening there to president biden give a passionate speech about what he calls the most serious test to our democracy since civil war. he's tuktauking tauking about voting rights and the restrictive voting in 17 states. he was saying it's the most fundamental right and liberty is being threatened. we have an incredible panel to help us unpack everything he talked about. we have dana bash. john king and kaitlan collins. dana, i know your time is limited. it was interesting, i would say that's his most fulsome defense of voting rights thus far. civil rights leaders have been calling for this and saying you have been in office for six months. infrastructure is important but this is the most important and that seems like what he was saying today. >> no question about it. your exactly right. there has been an outcry from not just civil rights leaders, just

we need to be one america, united. free from fear this fall. now how we keep beating this virus as we enter the fall after summer, i ask adults to come together to get one shot by july fourth, 70% by july fourth with at least one shot. to date 12 states reached this milestone and we expect more to meet this milestone this week. nationally we are at 63% of adults with >>> with 734% of americans over the age of 40, with one shot, and we especially need people under 40 to step up. over 40 is doing much better. that's why today we're announcing a month-long effort to pull all the stops to free ourselves from this virus and get to 70% of adult americans vaccinated. i'm going to take everyone -- it's going to take everyone, everyone. the federal government, state governments, local, tribal, territorial governments, private sector, most importantly the american people to get to this 70% mark, so we can declare independence from covid-19. free ourselves from the grip it has held over our lives for the better part of a year. each of you has the power to

listen, what does this mean about when america will get the americans out? because now, is this threat going to delay? are we going back to this august 31 b.s.? is that going to become a hard out again? that was a media and political party trap. it was a gotcha. what are you going to do? what are you going to do? what are you going to do? the biden administration did not deal with it well and they just got on message that they're going to complete the job no matter what. will this spook them into having to make a quick exit? they were finally getting that they can't leave until you get all americans and allies out. here is the good news. they are getting people out. we just got new numbers. since august 14th when kabul fell the state department tabulates as many as 6,000 americans wanted to leave and since then roughly 4,500 were evacuated along with family members. secretary blinken says his department is in contact with 500 americans still there and is aggressively reaching out to what could be 1,000 more but likely less. so approximately 1,500 american ci
