his administration could help us. that would develop further. mr. president, the challenge is accepted. we will try to do our best. we are also pleased to say we've improved. this morning we announced new data that demonstrates the ability of our covid vaccine. you can store it for two weeks at minus 20 degrees celsius. this is in addition to the five days of stability between 2 and 8 degrees of celsius. if based on this data, the fda grants us the license, this new storage option would offer getter flexibility. of course, it would mean nothing if people are not willing. there are strong efforts to advance vaccine confidence, excellent distribution of the vaccine and overall health equity. looking ahead the partnership will grow even deeper over the next four years as we achieve more public heltebrake-through. mr. president is looking to move at the speed of stallions. pfizer's position is just one example of our shared commitment to acceleraing the discovery of medical breakthroughs. pfizer's -- since i took office,

morgan chesky for us in dallas, texas. these past 12 months have taken a toll on all of us but the hardest hit may have been the many men and women working on the front lines in hospitals across the globe. they have seen it all. to that end i wanted to check in with a few of the country's bravest to see how they're holding up a year later. six staff members held a conversation with me. they ranged from doctors and nurses to security and more. here's some of what we discussed. >> when i first heard about the coronavirus, i got anxiety, i started feeling nervous because i wasn't sure, and for the first week i actually did not sleep because my concern is how am i going to make sure our patients are safe and how do i make sure our employees are also safe. >> you handle environmental services here so you're at the full front end of this thing. you're the first people that had to make sure things were clean and stuff was in supply. >> yes, and it was very challenging. it was very challenging. i describe it as if you're in the oc

and helped us with democracy and helped us educate women. those are all noble goals. the problem is we do them from the beginning because of the way we went in and the way the political class kept sustaining the relationship and expecting the military to fix it which was an impossible cure for it. >> as for the cost in the exit, i want to play briefly, stay with me, i want to play the white house press secretary about where the buck stops. take a listen. >> what responsibility, if any, for these deaths does he think he bears? >> well, i think the president made clear as the secretary of state and national security adviser made clear, that we're all responsible and they feel a responsibility and the buck stops with the president. >> john? >> there's so much to those comments. i think what's most important is joe biden relates to the father who sent his son to the war and the buck stops with him. what we've seen, and listen, we opposed the surge into afghanistan. we have seen four administrations punt the football on this war and it takes a le

what can you tell us about the call? will president biden be on the call and what is your message to moderate republicans like mitt romney who say the economy can't have another stimulus after you just passed a $900 billion relief package. >> the president has made clear to his team should be reaching both parties to make the case m for the rescue plan and to engage with them, understand their concerns. that's what we're doing both myself and senior members of the team. we have been doing that over the course of time. we'll continue to do that, including the call on sunday that i will be doing with a group of senators and will continue that engagement going forward. in terms of the message, it's pretty clear. we're at a precarious moment for the virus and the economy. without decisive action, we risk falling into a very serious economic hole. even more serious than the crisis we find ourselves in. economists across the board, including today, president trump's former chairman of the council of economic advisers arguing t

they allowed us to fully heal again. that part stood out to me because both of you guys have been targets of trump in the past. miles, how does this resonate for you personally? >> that's a great question, kendis. i'm glad you asked it. hunter biden put that in pretty eloquent terms. donald trump is the master of the politics of personal destruction. look, in my own life he came after me, he came after -- he and his supporters came after family members. we had to leave our home, our jobs, had to hire a full-time security detail. no one needs to have sympathy for me for that, but in my own case i would say what hunter biden articulated is relevant. it actually allowed me and my family members to get closer because you realize this man is a grifter, a con artist and cruel. typically your family members are going to side with you over the grifter and the cruel con artist that wants to destroy people. look, i think it's sickening. it's one of the reasons we're relieved to have donald trump further out of our politics, but we

it will be something russia will use against them because they always have used it against us in the 20th century. russia did as well. i think that part of the thing joe biden has to find a balance between, we know he is a mast he of american foreign policy. he is in his dig when's he is doing this work but he has a level of domestic -- we haven't seen a president have in his lifetime and quite the same way. and winning the domestic battles around racism and civil rights and the vote so he can actually be reelected will help shore up this international building he's trying to do. >> professor cooper, one of the things stood out to me that was not about the president was about the first lady, dr. jill biden. because she's this trip as well. she wrote a jacket the word love on the back. and i immediately thought about melania's jacket that said, i really don't care. do you? she went to the border to meet with children separated from their parents. what kind of message does this send, that you have dr. biden that has a jacket that says love on it in contrast to the former first lady? >>

news you can use. >> news you can used in. that is a lot of sausage. after what we saw in texas this week, what if anything can we do to mitigate, is there an appetite after this being so front and center. >> you will see a lot of resources plugged into, as you said, mitigation. that is this idea of limiting the effects because climate change is here to stay. what can you do to make sure the planet is more livable. you have a lot of resources going into this. obviously president biden is talking about what to do for the potential next stimulus package on how you will decarbonfy the economy. there are a lot of resources, opportunities. pessimism isn't quite the right word, but there is sort of an acknowledgment of the effects of climate change. they're here to stay. now there have to be some human work-arounds. >> next round of congressional up. what can you tell us about where that process is? . >> well, it's going to be messy. it's going to be consequential. when you just look at how congressional seats are apportioned based on the census. states like

no, it's us, all of us. we, the people. for you and i, that america thrives when we give our hearts, when we turn our hands to common purpose. and right now, my friends, we're doing just that. i have to say as your president, i'm grateful to you. last summer i was in philadelphia and i met a small business owner, a woman. i asked her, i said, what do you need most? never forget what she said to me. she said -- looking me in the eye she said, i just want the truth. the truth. just tell me the truth. think of that. my fellow americans, you're owed nothing less than the truth. and for all of you asking when things will get back to normal, here is the truth. the only way to get our lives back, to get our economy back on track is to beat the virus. you've been hearing me say that for -- while i was running and the last 50 days i've been president. but this is one of the most complex operations we've ever undertaken as a nation in a long time. that's why i'm using every power i have as president of the united states to put us on

they tell us that mexico is no longer allowing the u.s. to expel migrant families with children under the age of 6 into their country. so many of them have been able to stay here. that's what we've been seeing here on the ground, a lot of families with very young children. we've been speaking to some of them fleeing desperate situations. i spoke to one mom who said two of her family members were murdered in el salvador. she had to leave her 6-month-old daughter behind. those are the heart wrenching decisions some of these families are making. the communities in this area are used to this. this is nothing new. they've seen they see surges time and time again, and they are not frustrated with the fact that there are more people, more folks to shelter and to deal with what they are frustrated with, though, alicia, is the politics behind this. i want you to hear from sister nora who runs catholic charities and has been doing this work for many years. take a listen to what she told us. >> do you think that there is some element of a new preside

us. >> just put me in shock to see my name on the presidents twitter. we probably got thousands of calls. >> you have 954 calls. >> we had a lot of haters. >> i remember asking, did we make a mistake? >> they were just way too many trees. here's the other thing. i think we discuss this when we with the board. my name is marie, i'm 65 and i'm the president of four seasons total landscaping and northeast, philadelphia. we do grounds maintenance, irrigation, seeding, snow removal. it's kind of boring. >> -- on the phone. >> i think the most challenging part of starting the business and being in business was being women owned. nobody took you serious. i think maintenance men they connect with us. you we help you, to help us. if i had $1 for every time i got as, did i have a husband. i have a wonderful husband. he just had his business and i have mine. this is my life. other than my family, this is my entire thing. we want to make sure that if we do purchase this, it's meeting our needs and we

great to have you with us. i would like to ask you a dual question, both of which i have asked several guests this week. if democracy has a clock face, if it ends at midnight, what time is it now? the second part of the question is, are the democrats in your candid opinion up to this? >> well, let me answer the second part of that first, brian. it's good to see you. objectively, since the insurrection on january 6th, the republican party is far more radical, far more committed to the lie that trump has told, fully committed to the authoritarian movement. and should the events repet themselves, the republican party is much -- in a much different place this past election with regard to being prepared to try to subvert the legal and lawful results. the democrats have done nothing since coming into office, not on the question of voting rights, not on the question of ethics reform. they have done nothing to prevent any of the abuses that we've seen, done nothing to harden any of the infrastructure. so with the democ

irwin redlener remains with us, and, doctor, i'm using time i don't technically have. let's talk about the winter. last winter we went through that awful surge. it kind of matched in exterior darkness or the darkness of the pandemic season. i am so curious to hear your projection for this winter, including but not limited to the highly vaccinated northeast. >> right. so let me make this quick, brian. we're back in whack-a-mole land in that the trend is starting to edge downward in some of the warmer states in the south but edging upward in the colder states, including oregon, the state of washington, north carolina and other places. what this means is that we're going into a winter season with i virus that may well be more transmissible in cold climates, but we're also spending a lot more time indoors being crowded together in ways we didn't have to do in more temporate temperature time. so we don't know what's going to happen yet, but the main message now is we're not done with the coronavirus yet, brian, and we'll have to wait and see what the winter holds, but again

that worried us. during the course of their disease, around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. and these symptoms can get worse over time. nuplazid is the only approved medicine prescribed to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. now this is something we want to see. don't wait. ask your healthcare provider about nuplazid. tonight, i'll be eating a club sandwich with fries and a side of mayonnaise.

luckily for us, we have david plouffe and tim miller still with us and standing by. david, your first rodeo this is not, nor is this your rookie season in cable news. you know how this works. you know what gets the oxygen. is it going to be debate and proposals surrounding a $2 trillion coronavirus relief package? oh, let me guess. or is it going to be the president's second impeachment trial before the senate? tell me how the biden white house is going to navigate this. >> well, i think they've handled the impeachment question really well, which is, you know, the senate needs to work its way towards procedure. their focus is going to be on this relief package, and that and making sure we're upping both the production of the vaccine, the distribution of the vaccine, the user experience on the back end. but i think there's a lot of questions. that question you just showed, brian, does it have to be big or does it have to be bipartisan? and i think bipartisan is nice to have, and i think the president will do all he can to attract republican support. but big is a must-

thank you all three for getting us started. for more on this situation, i want to turn to long time law enforcement. he's a senior adviser. more importantly a former deputy national security adviser and also an nbc news law enforcement analyst. washington, d.c., you see today feels like what happens after a huge screw up. january 6th, a monumental screw up and boy, is government now arguably overresponding but i don't think any of us would want toyota be any other way. we are responding to last problem. are we responding to the current problem? >> chuck, it's a great question. i think there's a correction to the shock and surprise and the ugliness of january 6th. i have no doubt that january 20th, in the capitol, the inauguration will be safe. you've seen it. the guns, gates and guards will make sure of it. you're right. i think the lingering question is are we facing an extremist movement that obviously is more than just what we saw on january 6th. more than just what we have seen already in state capitols and is there somethi

will they use the same laser focus that they used for covid relief on this infrastructure package or will they be tangled up in another battle. you know, when asked about this earlier today, whether he had the political capital, biden was optimistic. he said that i hope so and he crossed his fingers. but this is an issue that biden knows well. he knew it and he dealt with it as a senator and as a vice president and now as a president. he does really understand that, you know, there is no clear path forward, especially in a divided congress. i think it under scores the question of whether it will be the issue to force the president's hand or the democrats to finally decide whether they are going to eliminate the filibust tore get gun reform passed. >> the four of us all know the name fred gutenberg. his 14-year-old daughter, jamie, was killed at parkland and it plunged him into a life of advocacy. he is well known for speaking out. advocacy he is well known for speaking out. stop with the bs. nobody is trying to take your weapons if you are a legal, lawful gun owner. a public health e

thank you for letting us duck into your hour and thanks for letting us come into your homes through these challenges times. >>> on "the mehdi hasan show," the "american idol" >> joe biden's chief of staff is here. also, the surge of unaccompanied minors at the border have reached the point that fema is being brought in to help. julian castro joins me. >>> plus it's a bird, it's a plane. no, it's super pharmacist, dr. mac, saving his community one vaccine at a time. he joins me to tell us his inspiring story, coming up. >>> good evening. i'm mehdi hasan. joe biden has been spending the weekend at home in delaware before he heads out on the road this week to sell the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan. he has a lot to work with. it is difficult to overstate what a big win this piece of legislation is for the president. it's the second biggest economic stimulus in american history, giving cash direct to the poorest americans. and if you want to know how much our politics has changed, here is the great irony. the joe biden of the 1980s and 1990s would probably have voted against it. don't tak

thanks for being with us. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> there's a new poll showing how americans are split on the impeachment proceedings. it's from the a.p. 47% say, yes, trump should be convicted. 40% say no. do these numbers surprise you? did you think americans would be more unified on this front? >> no, i really didn't. i don't expect americans to be unified on much of anything these days. i'm glad that the senate is moving to the trial. we impeached the president for what i believe and many believe is the most heinous act ever committed by a sitting u.s. president. i think the american people should see the case and hear the case against him. we pend to see everything through a partisan lens. i'm sure there are many americans, particularly those in that 40%, who have not really connected the dots. i think that's what this trial will do. it will show the pattern of behavior from the president leading up to january 6th. and, of course, on january 6th that led to one of the most disturbing events in american hist

kelly cobiella is joining us from the middle. overall, what is the reaction to the incoming prime minister? >> reporter: just a quick update. we're waiting for the vote to start, but we have heard from benjamin netanyahu and the possibly incoming prime minister neftali bennett. netanyahu telling lawmakers he's the only what could could protect israel from iran, the only one who can stand up to a u.s. president. earlier in the day his party put out a statement which follows a script they've been following all week long, trying to delegitimize this government, calling it a fraudulent government back supporting terrorists. neftali bennett spoke about the u.s. relationship. he said it's an important relationship, that he would work with both democrats and republicans. and he thanked president biden for his support during the conflict with gaza. we spoke to a long-term diplomat about this incoming government and the likely response by the u.s. administration. he said the u.s. biden administration is likely to welcome the change. take

mike memoli's standing by for us. only problem is he can't hear us. nicolle wallace. >> you know, just the images, the images that i think we're all starving for. joe biden doesn't talk about bipartisan as a political tactic. he believes it in his bones. he deeply desires unity inside the government to every last molecule of his being. donald trump was at war not just with the other party -- i don't think he has seen or spoken to speaker pelosi in more than a year, and think about that. as the pandemic has raged, as the country grappled with an historic racial reckoning, he has not even spoken to the most senior official in the democratic government. joe biden isn't at church with members of the republican party for a photo-op. we have to rewire the way we think about the head of our government to cover joe biden. he believes he can do the best job as the country's leader if he can listen to and work with the other side. and we are in for a real change in how we talk about the leaders of this country, at least the executive branch. >> what a fascinati

we should use it. anybody that has guns and badges or authority needs to be under extra scrutiny and there are a thicket of laws that circumscribe those in the force, that includes the guard. we've got to be careful though. if somebody brings a social posting to the armed forces and it's hate speech, racism, they'll definitely take action. i think it's a concern, not a major concern to me. evil influence on many institutions of government. by the time he left office, half strongly disapproved of his performance, around 39% still approved. so it was lower than the general population that voted for the guy. lloyd austin needs to focus on it. signed a document sending it out to the armed forces reminding him that biden was going to be the commander in chief and we were going to abandon the constitution. we ought to be aware of this going on but not concerned, in my view. >> general barry mccaffrey, speaking the truth about an issue important to the all of us, which you are most knowledgeable. thank you fo

it teaches us to be humble. what we think we know with what we actually know when you apply science and give it enough time. so it's a minor burden, there are been some studies published out of -- with 5000 people, all of them are tested, all of them were massed, and there was minimal transmission of the disease. we want to keep our businesses open. this is the lifeblood of the states economy. we need your help, we need your help to keep that going. >> it does feel like dÉjÀ vu all over again, not just where you are but unfortunately it so many places around the country. how are you doing, how are the doctors and nurses and everybody who works at university medical center doing as they continue to see this upswing, this surge going on? >> we it's very difficult. people hear about burnout we, one of the doctors that i admired with, he calls it moral injury. and it's essentially your inability to be able to do good for your patient. this disease is something that we haven't been able to conquer. the best fight i

thank you for spending the time with us. ari melber with the beat starts now. >> you told me that, making me think how do you spell dope. >> that's how it's spelled. >>> good to see you, sir. i want to welcome every one to the beat. we begin with breaking news. a judge just handed ot first felon sentence today stemming from the january 6th insurrection in is one of first steps to what the doj says is key. pall hodge kins will be behind bars for eight months with many eyes the first sentences as a potential pres dent for the many cases to come. there's hundreds of people charged in connection with january 6th. here, is what he did in plain sight that day. photos and evidence in the case says he illegally rushed the senate chambers and sporting a trump 2020 shirt while carrying a trump 2020 flag. a look the prosecutors say he happily showed off while posing for selfies to his friends. he's now a convicted felon. he's going jail mp in court he claimed a naivety. claiming if he had any idea that the protest would escalate he wou
