you add a base. Ends Monday.
>>> IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN FIVE
MONTHS SINCE JANUARY 20, 2021,
WHEN JOE BIDEN TOOK THE OATH OF
OFFICE AND WAS SWORN IN.
SINCE THAT DAY, STARTING IN DAY
ONE, IT HAS BEEN CLEAR TO
EVERYONE, JOE BIDEN HAD ONE KEY
PRIMARY JOB, TO SUPPRESS THE
CORONAVIRUS.
HE RAMPED UP MASS VACCINATIONS,
160 MILLION ADULTS FULLY
VACCINATED.
WE ARE CLOSE TO THE GOALS.
OVER 148 MILLION ADULTS ARE
FULLY VACCINATED.
66.5% OF ADULTS HAVE RECEIVED AT
LEAST ONE SHOT.
WE ARE NOW AT A PERILOUS MOMENT.
THE DELTA VARIANT IS SPREADING.
THERES STILL AN EXPECTATION THE
BUCK STOPS WITH THE PRESIDENT.
ITS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS
JOB TO PROTECT PEOPLE.
BUT ALSO GOVERNANCE IS
COLLABORATIVE.
PARTICULARLY IN A SYSTEM LIKE
OURS WITH 50 INDIVIDUAL STATES.
THE RESPONSE TO THIS PANDEMIC
SHOULD ABOUT AN ALL HANDS ON
DECK SITUATION, ESPECIALLY NOW
AT THIS KEY MOMENT WITH THIS NEW
THREATENING VARIANT ANDED EDTHE
TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE VACCINATED
AS POSSIBLE.
A HUGE PART OF THE GOVERNING
STRUCTURE OF AMERICA IS
BASICALLY CHECKED OUT.
INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY GOVERNING,
DOING THIS VERY IMPORTANT THING,
A LOT OF REPUBLICANS ARE BUSY
PERFORMING, AUDITIONS, HOPING TO
RISE IN THE PARTY RANKS.
LOOK AT WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF
SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE GOVERNOR IN
TEXAS IS DOING.
ABBOTT STARTED LIFTING
RESTRICTIONS IN APRIL OF 2020.
NOW, VACCINATIONS IN TEXAS ARE
NOT GOOD.
THEY ARE LAGGING.
JUST 48% OF PEOPLE RECEIVING AT
LEAST ONE SHOT.
THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
THATS A BAD NUMBER.
ITS AS BAD AS IT GETS FOR A BIG
STATE.
CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK AND
FLORIDA ARE WAY AHEAD.
BECAUSE OF THE LOW VACCINATION
RATE, TEXAS IS RIPE FOR AN
OUTBREAK.
INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THAT, THE
GOVERNOR WAS BUSY MAKING AN
APPEARANCE WITH DONALD TRUMP,
VISITING THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO
VISIT THE UNFINISHED WALL.
THERES THE SOUTH DAKOTA
GOVERNOR WHO HAS HER EYE ON THE
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION.
SHE MADE HER NAME AS THE I DONT
CARE ABOUT COVID GOVERNOR. CARE ABOUT COVID GOVERNOR.
LAST SUMMER IN THE MIDST OF THE
PAN DEMOCRAT DEMOCRAT
PANDEMIC, SHE HELD A HUGE RALLY.
SHE HELD THE STURGIS RALLY.
IT KICKED OFF AN OUTBREAK.
FOR A TIME, HER STATE HAD ONE OF
THE HIGHEST CASE AND DEATH RATES
IN THE COUNTRY.
JUST LIKE TEXAS, SOUTH
CAROLINAS VACCINATION RATE IS
LOW.
50% OF RESIDENTS RECEIVING AT
LEAST ONE DOSE.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
IT WILL GET PEOPLE KILLED TO NOT
GET THOSE NUMBERS HIGHER.
SHES MORE CONCERNED WITH NOT
BEING LEFT OUT OF DONALD TRUMP
AND GOVERNOR ABBOTTS FUN AT THE
BORDER.
CAN I GET IN?
SHES DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD
TROOPS FROM SOUTH DAKOTA TO
TEXAS AT ABBOTTS REQUEST, GET
THIS, FUNDED BY A PRIVATE
DONATION FROM A BILLIONAIRE
REPUBLICAN DONOR WHO HAS DONATED
OVERDONOR, WHO DONATED
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO DONALD
TRUMP.
I DID NOT EVEN KNOW, I WILL
CONFESS, IT WAS POSSIBLE OR
LEGAL TO PRIVATELY FUND THE
MOVEMENT OF AMERICAN TROOPS.
BUT OF COURSE THIS MAKES SENSE
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
DIFFERENT PRISMS THROUGH WHICH
GOVERNING IS EVALUATED.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT JOE BIDENS
JOB IS TO GET THE COUNTRY
RUNNING AGAIN, TO KEEP PEOPLE
SAFE AND HEALTHY.
AND REPUBLICANS UNDERSTAND THEIR
JOB IS TO KEEP FEEDING NONSENSE
