two. i m john roberts in washington. hi again, sandra. sandra: great to be with you. despite the troubling poll numbers for his party, president biden just moments ago insisting democrats will come out on top. running against the tide and beating the tide. we created with your help 10 million new jobs so far. unemployment was 6.4%. we got it down to 3.5%, 50-year low. sandra: talking to mike. the polls tell a different story. more americans trust republicans when it comes to the handling of the economy. 38-24 over democrats. john: the left seems to be running away from the issues so important to american families. i hear people talk about inflation as i heard in there. we have to change the subject. inflation is a global phenomenon. republican criticism for high inflation does not add up. it has been transformed into something that republicans in particular running for congress are blaming joe biden and democrats for specifically when there is no economic evidence
letting us dive into your hour, and thanks to all of you for letting us into your homes during these truly extraordinary times, i ll see you tomorrow for deadline white house. rachel we turn it over to you. got bless you, nicole. it has been a remarkable hour on msnbc. i m so grateful for my colleagues and for colleagues in particular like nicole who can handle the emotional weight of what she just did there. that was just what a service. tomorrow night here is going to be a very big deal as well, which nicole alluded to at the end of her hour there. as you know, president biden is going to be giving his first prime time address to the nation on the issue of covid on the one-year anniversary of the declaration of the worldwide pandemic. we re going to have chris hayes at the lincoln memorial tomorrow coming out of that speech doing a special hour of his own. looking back at what we ve been through the past year but also looking ahead towards us being back together again
back together again as we start to defeat this thing, hopefully as a country. it s it s just a remarkable it s a remarkable time for us as a country, and for those of us whose job it is to cover this ongoing pandemic, it s an incredible challenge, but i am super proud of nicolle and chris and so many of the rest of my colleagues who have done such yeoman s work covering this and all the different ways that we can. i think we ve all approached it in our own ways. our colleagues like stephanie ruhle who has been sick, dealt with covid her and her family have talked about what with her viewers. it s heavy stuff. it s heavy stuff and there s no road map how to do it. you have to approach it every day newly. so it s been a remarkable year. tomorrow as i said, it s going to be a remarkable night. we will on this show have dr. anthony fauci with us tomorrow night, which i m very much looking forward to. so that s all ahead. this is a heck of a time in the country and a heck of a
