Thats why the president did what he did today. is that also true in terms of nursing home staff? >> i mentioned that the president had previously used his leverage over federal funding for nursing home facilities, to require nursing homes, essentially, to get all their staff vaccinated. as we have talked about before, unvaccinated staff for the linchpin to explaining so many of the deadly and tragic outbreaks in congregate care and elderly care facilities. did the previous mandate that he announ...

Vaccination, using his leverage over the federal workforce. he had talked about encouraging vaccination among the federal workforce, by either requiring vaccination or allowing people to test out of it. now he is saying that federal workers and indeed federal contractors, they are employees, will have to be vaccinated. was anything we learned from the previous -- in terms of how to implement that sort of thing well? its a vast federal workforce, but it seems like it was on again off again implem...

I cant explain it, i cant vote for it. i cant explain why my democratic colleagues are rushing to spend $3.5 trillion. "yesterday, axios reported he was open to $1.5 trillion in new spending, which chuck schumer and company resoundingly rejected outright. that doesnt mean democrats are just going to unfurl the white flag. if bidens ship sinks, theyll sync with him. schumer and pelosi needed the spending bill is much as he does. think of the leverage this gives mansion, he could save the presiden...

China where we were told it was respectful. china and taliban are treated differently than americans. >> morgan: those readouts are always hard to write, as you remember, after the president or secretary of state has a call with a foreign leader. that was about as vague as one could be. also, markedly different from what the chinese release. when you look at -- harris made the point brilliantly earlier -- when you look at what leverage we have, we have no military leverage with the taliban. we a...
