away. is the biden administration simply miscalculating that it has the leverage here? yes. the germans have refused to say so. right. the defense minister said last week there s no connection between russia going into ukraine and nord stream 2. when blinken was in washington a week or so ago, they said if the russians go into ukraine they may not be able to use nord stream 2. it signals weakness. the administration should make it very clear right now to germany and to russia that if germany does not stop nord stream 2 if russia goes into ukraine, the united states will let the senate do its work, which the administration to its disgrace in my opinion fought successfully last week. what should president biden do if russia invades ukraine? they should do what they ve said about punishing sanctions. they should do what they said about increasing the forced posture of nato in the east and sending more weapons to ukraine. they should take out nord stream 2 forever.
the power and responsibility that came with his fame and fortune. he once said that he felt he was representing 18 million people with every move he made. and he went on to become a very prominent voice in the civil rights movement. he played a role in organising the march in washington in 1964 when doctor martin luther king made his i have a dream speech. he is a man of great depth, a man of great social concern, a man dedicated to human rights and freedom, and that really reflects the tributes flooding in for sidney poitier in hollywood this morning. comedian sarah cooper said he was a brilliant actor, director and activist. and ben mankiewicz said sidney poitier and bore a responsibility no other actor of this era had to carry but he carried it with warmth and grace. he was a true hollywood legend. true hollywood legend. thank you very much-
the u.s., but we re seeing this impact of covid-19 surging again during the holiday season, impacting all of these different sports leagues. jim? i offered my services as quarterback for the washington football team. i did not get a call back about that. no way! i wanted to be a linebacker. they said no thanks. maybe next time. joining me now is cnn medical analyst dr. jonathan reiner. dr. reiner, i am not ready to go back to the days of sweatpants and tiger king. but here we are. last night you warned a covid tsunami was about to hit our country, particularly for the unvaccinated. president biden is set to address the nation on tuesday bracing americans for this coming wave. let s revisit what he said on july 4th. let s listen. today we are closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. that s not to say the battle
states. and since that time, we also created a pack called give us the ballot, which has raised money for organizations on the ground that are actually helping to get people registered, education, as well as turnout when elections take place. i would say about a month ago when we saw no progress, we came up with the conclusion that we need to use the king holiday as a day of activism. and we re going to be on a bridge in phoenix, and we re going to be on a bridge in washington, d.c. on january 15th, the actual birthday of dad in phoenix, because the president and congress came together and did infrastructure, which is great. but what has not been done is protecting, preserving, and expanding the right to vote of american citizens, which helps save our democracy, i believe. and you announced this a few days ago. have you heard from the biden
