yeah, anderson, we just learned that temporary fencing that actually surrounded the capitol people will remember for months after january 6th. well, it might go back up. a source is telling our ryan nobles that capitol police have, in fact, formally requested to the capitol police board that the fence be temporarily put in place ahead of september 18th. sources are telling our team that it is likely tell they will approve that request for the fencing. we are told, though, it would be a smaller fence. it would likely only be up for about 48 to 72 hours surrounding the rally. and but this latest development, it comes as the police departments around d.c. they are amping up security preps in advance of this so-called justice for january 6th rally happening next saturday, september 18th. capitol police are warning about the potential for violent clashes and unrest at an upcoming rally in support of those charged in the u.s. capitol insurrection. that s according to an internal memo rev ....
Turned out that there wasn t a lot of transmission in schools. was there? or was it just because the delta variant is it all the delta variant? is that the difference? i i think that that s a big part of it but i will tell you what is interesting, anderson. right now, you know, this labor day weekend compared to a year ago, we have three and a half-times more viral spread. three and a half-times more cases this year, versus last year. we have a that s crazy. vaccine. it s crazy. it s almost if if you were to ask me last year and say, hey, this time next year, we are going to have three and a half half-times more cases at this point next year, i would have thought to myself, oh, i guess we never got an authorized vaccine. truth is we have an authorized vaccine, several of them. and still, despite that, three and a half-times the cases. two and a half times the hospitalizations compared to this point last year and nearly two-times the percentage of death, two times th ....
Again. but um the machinations of the republican party in terms of increasing amounts of voter suppression bills that they re trying to pass in every state. plus, the their willingness to push donald s second big lie that the january-6th insurrection didn t happen or wasn t a big deal. or the insurrectionists were actually great patriots. um, leads me to believe that he may decide that if he runs, he won t lose. he also has a lot of incentive to get back into the oval office because it would protect him from the criminal charges and the civil charges being levied against him. he s also raised, you know, based on the election lie, he you know, put out all these feelers for money from people and a lot of people sent in a lot of money to him that he can use as he wants to as he sees fit. yeah. listen, anderson, i think the ....
Doing adequate testing in this country which is really frustrating. that people cannot wake up every morning, and simply know are they contagious or not? we the technology exists to do that but we re not doing it. but what we do know as you have been reporting on, anderson, is hospitals are becoming overwhelmed with patients in some parts of the country. regular-elective cases are getting cancelled. other non-covid-related diseases are getting substandard care, as a result of that. so, masks we know make a huge difference, for sure. um, the numbers sort of tell the story. what you are looking at on the screen there, anderson, regarding the vaccinations. i mean, just think about that. unvaccinated people, 17-times more likely to be hospitalized. do you see the line for vaccinated people in the hospital? yeah. that s that flat line at the bottom. you can barely see it. i mean, it s really can barely see it it s really an incredible story here of what s going on. and and i ....
So, what are you learning about the new messaging push inside the white house? when you talk to white house officials, they make clear this is the critical moment for the legislative agenda and they want to sharpen their message. they want to move it toward a more populous direction but more than anything else, anderson, they want to simplify it. you have seen it a little over the past couple days but we have also obtained a series of messaging memos that are being sent to democrats on capitol hill. implici implicit in those memos? on the various components of this sweeping $3.5 trillion proposal and that has caused poe ten shl problems particularly with moderates but also frontline democrats in the house have become skittish about the size, scale, and some of the financing components of that package. white house officials are now deliberately trying to kind of walk people back. stay focused on the things that matter most. the kind of binary choice between whether you are with presid ....
