Border, maybe with a few exceptions, missed that vote on whether to have a select committee to investigate january 6th. alice, let me turn to joe biden, the president. new "washington post"/abc news poll finds 62% approve of biden's handling of the pandemic, but just 33% of republicans. what do you make of that? is it just because their information stream is going to be their information stream and, you know, it's not coming in from other corners? why do you think there's that huge discrepancy there? >> because unfortunately this pandemic has become political. this is a health care issue. a na...

Saying maybe the wuhan theory with some caveats that has merit or maybe it should be seriously looked at and you don't want to seem like you're aligning yourself with donald trump who nicknames this virus something racist and so i think he conflated the bioweapon theory with the lab accident theory if you will. and i think at the end of the day people just didn't want to see maligned with the man who told everyone on tv to inject bleach. and when you say in fact -- >> the information stream was so polluted from the beginning. it was very very difficult to make judgments and it's like i don't k...

Have 53 republicans. and yeah, it seems to me that something new would have to enter the information stream for some republicans to bail on this, and by the way, pat leahy, a senior democrat on the judiciary committee, former chairman of that committee, has said very favorable things about william barr. i think you're going to see a slew of democrats be interested in confirming barr to this position as well. i don't think any confirmation process in the current washington climate you can say is like slam dunk and easy, but we recently saw gina haspel who had lots of controversy around her nomi...
