relationship with trump has major historic consequences. >> carol, what sort of pressure would a criminal referral place on merrick garland and the doj as they conduct their own investigation into what happened on january 6th? >> it is such a good question. i don't think we have ever faced anything exactly like this, alicia. what is so interesting is, you know, the conspiracy that the january 6th committee is looking at has a lot of similarity to a conspiracy case that the fbi and the department of justice have to be weighing at the moment. i mean we know that the fbi has 700 defendants that were all sort of in semi riot gear or, you know, ready to protest for donald trump and in their own minds save the country from biden being elected president. but there were many other defendants not on the grounds that day that the fbi and the department of justice are looking at, and merrick garland, the attorney general, referenced this in a press conference this week in which he tried to
republicans. >> all right. as rid, hopefully you'll see us when it comes out. the presidents who stood side by side, and the one who chose to go it alone. plus, could the gop's outrage over president biden's vaccine plan actually derail it? a new york congressman ritchie torres on his push to speed up infrastructure reform as a fellow democrat calls for a, quote, strategic pause. that's all ahead. stick with us. (brother) hi sis! (sister) you're late! (brother) fashionably late. (sister) we can not be late. (brother) there's a road right there. (brother) that's a cat. wait, just hold madi's headpiece. (sister) no. seriously? (brother) his name is whiskers. (bride) what happened to you? whose cat is that?
doesn't matter if donald trump tells them to get the vaccine, if the president gives them incent ifrs or a governor offers a million dollars which they have. they are not moving. that's where we're at on trying to get rid of this virus. >> i want you to take that excellent analysis from daniel and square it with this which i think it squares up nicely which is that a biden official tells axios is america divided? yes. biden is uniting the 75% verse the 25% in opposition. unifying the overwhelming majority threatened by an unruly minority. is that your understanding of the thinking more broadly within the biden administration coming to not you the virus but policy writ large? >> that's exactly right. i think the white house and the administration had seen biden's approval ratings dropping.
ensuring we never forget the lives lost the president made a point to ensure americans never forget something else. that the end of the day regardless of political party we are one. >> everybody says, biden, why do you insist to try to bring the country together? that will affect the well being knowing that we can in fact lead by the example of our power again. i think we can do it. >> while the current president urged unity it was a former president in office at the time of the attacks president bush who addressed the elephant in the room. terror is not a threat from afar but here among us. >> we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within.

voting rights across this country along with reproductive care access. it seems like they're writing democrats' messaging for them. >> yeah. president biden set it up and clear giving the speech about vaccine is he won't let a small minority in this country rule and control this pandemic. he was very clear about that. it's also setting up for republicans to be the anti-vax party. that's not what they want. they're not only the anti-vax party but the party currently pushing voter suppression laws, pushing anti-abortion laws. this is a party that is in somewhat disarray and does not stand on the side of the american people. so going into the midterm election i would have to take a hard look in the mirror as the republican party saying what do we stand for right now? right? the american people don't stand
there is literal cultural overlap of violent extremists overseas and home. there's a disregard for human life and determination to defile national symbols they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them. >> hard to overstate how significant that is. we'll talk about it in a moment. while presidents biden and bush gave messages of unity the former president used it a vehicle to tack the president and attacking president biden for withdrawing from aghanistan that plan that president trump negotiated. and the elected republicans that back the former president have been attacking efforts to fight the current coronavirus pandemic and melting down all week over president biden's new vaccination plan for the country calling it tyranny and autocratic and the attacks are
for so long on this, and this is the time. this has to be it. every single branch has given us the leeway to move forward on this. we had the court decision last year which opened daca back up. president biden being elected, many, many people voted because of the promises on immigration, because of the promises to dreamers. just every single branch that we're working with just now is the time and i feel it. as i said, you know, whenever we talk about daca, people continually tell us daca kids. and for me, my entire life depends on this next few decisions. as we said every single time, for me, every single day now is when we have to do it, but now, more than ever, there's an actual, plausible possibility. >> i never thought i'd be waiting with such bated breath for something the parliamentarian was going to decide. ethers she decides this is going to move forward or not. then it's going to need 50 democrats, 10 republicans.
that should go without saying. we believe that health care is a moral and significant right. and that we will trust women to make their own choices. they will not be shamed or judged around their reproductive choices including abortion. when you have congregations of all faith pushing this agenda out in texas and across the country because it is the first of its kind change happens. >> as i listen to this i'm thinking about how in response to president biden's new vaccine mandates this week greg abbott is out there tweeting about how he issued a xord protecting texans' right to choose whether they get the covid vaccine. talk to me about the language right to choose given the split screen. >> i'm absolutely astounded by abbott. he is a failed leader for the
even worse on right wing media continuing to sow doubt over the vaccines. every two days a virus claims the same amount of lives lost on september 11. a dire threat only growing because of our political bickering. and sadly don't expect that to change any time soon because court axios top republicans are calling for a public uprising to protest president biden's vaccine mandates. droves of gop governors vowing to fight the covid plan in court to which biden says have at it. with me is daniel strauss correspondent for the new republic, the author of "the power up" news letter and matthew droud founder of country over party and the chief strategist for the bush/cheney campaign and a democratic strategist. talk to me about the significance of former president bush choosing to use this anniversary and the moment to relay that message.
