day 331 of the biden administration and with just nine days until christmas, we are back waiting in long lines for covid tests. the nation now facing an alarming new surge in cases just as we head into year three. i'm going to say that again, year three of this pandemic. meanwhile, our already exhausted health care system is now caught between the delta variant and this new highly transmissible omicron strain. >> omicron is here. it's going to start to spread much more rapidly at the beginning of the year, and the only real protection is to get your shot. for the unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death. we are going to protect our economic recovery if we do this, we're going to keep schools and businesses open. >> it is already spreading. the cdc predicts there could be over a million new cases by the

end of christmas week. the government says this new strain is spreading fastest in new york and new jersey. some city restaurants and even some broadway shows are having to close back down, and the city plans to offer residents half a million rapid tests and a million masks. we'll get an update from the front lines of covid later in the hour, and there's also news tonight in the investigation into the january 6 insurrection. the house committee has now issued a subpoena to phil waldren. who is that? he's a retired army colonel who has submitted a powerpoint plan, yep, a powerpoint plan, on how to overturn the 2020 election. the city obtained that document from former chief of staff mark meadows who insisted he had nothing to do with it. adam kinzinger says the panel is now focused on what happened in the days before the capitol riot. >> about a year ago now, and i can't believe it's been a year, it also seems like it's been ten years ago and yesterday at the

same time, but there was this kind of fever pitch to not accept the fact that a legitimate election had happened. and that's why the committee is so important, wolf. it's not just about the day of january 6. that's an important point, but it's about what is the wrath that led up to that? expect to see more frivolous lawsuits to try to slow this down. roger stone is supposed to appear before the committee tomorrow, but he has already indicated he intends to plead the fifth which means it will just be a media and press opportunity for stone. but another committee member has already said tactics like that will not stop investigators from gathering the information. >> i think we are making progress. the 300 individuals we've talked to, they continue to give us more information. we're pulling the thread of the investigation and we're following every lead. we're not presupposing where

this is going. what we are doing is preserving an ability to gain information that is helpful to our investigation each and every day and to turn that over at some point in the public domain, whether it's through hearings or whether it's ultimately through a report or a referral. if there are additional details that need to be turned over to authorities, we will do that. we're not closing any door. >> that is not the only thing happening in washington. on the other side of capitol hill, senate democrats are trying to make sure that voting rights and democracy itself are protected well into the future. today the president and vice president held a zoom strategy session with several democratic senators to figure out a way forward on voting rights legislation. >> this agreement on substance on the voting bill, the states are incredibly high, we can't wait. we're simply waiting to get this

done and allow the senate to get the bill. >> even though democracy should not be partisan, so far senate republicans have blocked absolutely all attempts to even debate voting rights. with that let's bring in our lead-off guest on this thursday night, michelle alcindor, and former attorney and former fbi official. biden met with officials of the covid-19 response team this evening. today the specific strategy to deal with the latest surge, is information changing so quickly that they're just moving with it? >> it's clear that this omicron spike is definitely getting more serious every day. the biden administration says they do have a strategy. that strategy is really trying to beef up the messaging on

vaccinations, boost up the messaging on boosters and hope that americans heed that call and that sort of message. we also heard the president really warn of a winter that could be very, very scary, a winter that could really be another sort of surge and another sort of wave of this pandemic. people are tired, right? the president in some ways senses the fatigue of americans who are tired of wearing masks, who want to go to holiday parties, who want to see their family members, but essentially the biden administration and the president himself are saying we have to be as cautious as we were in the beginning days in that there is, of course, these vaccines, but there is also still a lot of unknowns out there. so i think the message today really was to try to be as cautious as possible, to try to get those vaccinations. the thing that's continuing to complicate this is the politics of this. the people who vaccinate, they might get boosters, but there are still so many americans who look at the vaccines and believing false conspiracy theories and so many other things, and that is the sad case. it really complicates how we get out of this pandemic, if at all.

>> it's a pandemic by choice. eugene, let's talk about what if. back in march the administration got covid relief passed in congress, the american rescue plan. but here's the thing. today the white house has a very, very different relationship with the hill. what happens now if the surge continues, if the administration needs more covid funding as a result of this surge? >> i mean, i think ilts hard to see congress come back together and do that. however, i think a lot of us were surprised even under the trump administration we saw republicans voting to add money, give people money during covid. so i think as things change, that might be a possibility. but like yamiche said, what the biden administration is focusing on now is making sure people have better access to tests, that they continue telling people how bad it's going to be. we all think back to earlier this year when we were told that july 4th was going to be our kind of freedom and goodbye to

this disease, this virus, and that has not happened and it's continued to get worse, and a lot of that is because of the politics of it. i think this administration is continuing -- and the scientists in the administration are continuing to move and shake as omicron changes. there was a time when omicron first came around that people were talking about it being highly transmissible but maybe not as bad for most people. we're not so sure about that, so the thing americans need to know is that don't wait or don't think that if this gets really bad that congress is going to be able to get back together and pass some kind of funding if the economy has to shut down, because i do think what has really happened is both republicans and democrats have realized that we're probably going to be dealing with covid in some form and fashion for years, right? so you hear doctors talking about covid boosters over and over and over again, not just this year, not just next year,

but maybe for the foreseeable future, which means they know we're going to have to figure out how to keep the country going at the same time. >> the best way to deal with it? get vaccinated. chuck, let's talk january 6. the last time we spent a lot of time with you here on msnbc was back in the mueller investigation days which was, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, then it never really did. there were no consequences. give us your assessment of how the committee is doing thus far. we're seeing varying levels of cooperation from witnesses, from total to absolutely none at all. >> yeah, you know, stephanie, good question. i mean, varying levels of cooperation is par for the course, whether you're talking about a congressional investigation or an fbi investigation, not all witnesses cooperate, not all witnesses tell the truth, not all witnesses are available. on the good news side of the ledger, we know the committee in congress has spoken to about 300

witnesses, they've reviewed hundreds of thousands of documents. we tend to spend a lot of time talking about the steve bannons and the mark meadows, and of course they would like to talk to meadows, and of course he would have pertinent information if he cooperated and told the truth. they're still going to have a very robust picture of what happened. you and i may disagree about the mueller investigation. in the end they had a very robust picture of what happened. i think we'll have it again here. now, whether or not folks are at a very high level or charge, stephanie, different question. >> okay, yes. we got a very robust, detailed picture, a report that said a lot, but that report didn't result in any consequences. how would you compare that to what we're seeing here? >> so now let's talk about the criminal justice side of the equation. we know so far five, six hundred people have been charged. some of those, frankly, are rather minor, trespassing and property damage, some are more significant, assaulting law

enforcement officers. what i'm waiting for, and what i think is really important, is the crime at the heart of the january 6th coup attempt. and that is the attempt, i think, led by president trump and those around him and his minions in congress and the media and elsewhere who tried to overthrow a ballot election. there are a bunch of federal statutes that would capture that behavior. there are a number of ways to charge him. so i hope, and we haven't seen reflections of this yet, but i hope the fbi and the justice department is looking at the first who led the coup attempt and not just the knuckleheads who showed up on january 6 and damaged property and assaulted our officers. that's what i'm hoping for. it's also what i'm waiting for but i haven't seen it yet. >> could we take just a minute, though. are we underrepresenting what happened on january 6 when we called those rioters knuckleheads? knuckleheads are my 15-year-old son and his buddies.

i wouldn't call what happened on january 6, those people beating policemen over the head, hunting down members of congress knuckleheads. >> let me be clear. some of the folks that were knuckleheads, they were bystanders who got swept up in it, they trespassed, t they loitered or damaged property. i still think there is a more important case out there. i still think there is a conspiracy to attempt a coup. whether you call is sedition or treason or coup or an insurrection, that's the case i care the most about. so point well taken. there is a whole range of people who showed up on january 6th from the stupid to the evil, and we have to focus on the evil. >> one of the biggest issues is that mission is not over. those people behind that attempt are still driving it forward. yamiche, let's turn to voting

rights, because kyrsten sinema is changing voting rights. that's what i don't get. why is biden focusing on voting legislation now because there would be no way to get it on the floor because of sinema? >> i should say first the white house, the president, has been talking about voting rights. it's something that's really important to him. he's made it a priority throughout his presidency. they would also say the vice president is focusing on it. all of that was the biden administration focusing on voting rights. then you get to really angry, and i think frustrated, democrats, especially democratic base voters who say the president should be doing more, that there is not the urgency we're seeing more in democrats in the early part of the legislation. i remember pressing the president on whether or not he would be okay in having a carve-out for civil voting rights. that is something biden was

pushing for moments ago. he did not want to talk about a carve-out for civil rights. he's sort of shifted and said that might be something he's supporting now. white house officials say the president is in the center. this is really something for the senate to decide. but i think when you hear the president say voting rights is the most important domestic issue, there are a lot of democrats who are saying, that's really true. then why didn't you do more on it and why didn't you talk more about it, why didn't you demand from senator sinema, from senator manchin a carve-out for this? why didn't you use the political framing you used on infrastructure with voting rights? the biden administration says we have to walk and chew gum at the same time. this all underscores and connects january 6 that republicans have been laser focused on changing voting laws in this country. we're seeing the legislature make changes to voting rights, making it harder to vote. democrats have still not figured

out a strategy, and that's something that will come to a head very quickly in the midterm election and 2024. they're going to look up and say how are the voting laws different now and how are people able to make large changes to people's voting in a way that feels scary? >> then, eugene, can you respond to all of what yamiche just said? the white house might say president biden and vice president harris have been all over this, focused on voting rights. have you seen any clear evidence of that? because to yamiche's point, republicans have been steadily doing more and more to restrict voting across red states. >> absolutely, and i think the administration doesn't say out loud, but you can see it in their actions. they know it's going to be nearly impossible to pass federal voting rights legislation in this country because of everything yamiche just laid out. but you have vice president harris, who i cover extensively. she's had lots of different meetings with folks, and so they

have talked about kind of building out this pressure campaign with civil rights leaders, with advocates, voting rights advocates to try to put pressure on senators, meeting with senators and telling them why they need this and why, at its heart, for democrats and for people who love democracy, the right to vote is the purest form of anything, that it doesn't matter about bbb or infrastructure and people can't vote. then you also have the administration kind of do work-arounds in and around congress, trying to figure out what are the levers they can pull in the administration in different agencies that can help, trying to use the bureau of prisons to figure out maybe if you leave jail in this state you can vote, trying to do it that way -- >> hold on, hold on. that seems like a small, marginal on-the-fringe

workaround compared to the laws that are changing, that are being put in place in red states. giving a wink, wink, nod, nod to those in prison, that's nothing compared to what's happening on the republican side. >> no, it shows that there's nothing the administration can't do, but it falls in the members of congress to actually do something more specifically. senators, and even more specifically manchin and sinema, right, happen to know that if you're going to make it easier for people to vote, the administration can kind of nibble around the edges, but that almost does nothing and it shows how tied the hands of president biden and vice president harris are on this specific issue. i think what i've heard over and over and over, especially from black activists, is they've been frustrated this entire year because you had hr-1 and s-1 which is how congress says, this is what our priority is, but

they didn't see the white house pushing the president like he did with the infrastructure plan before it was a bill, before it was signed, going to different states and talking ove and over again about the right to vote, but it could be too late because of all the talk spent on infrastructure and the bbb, which is on the back end itself. >> it sounds like the bidens need to spend christmas and new year's with manchin and sinema. the issue with mark meadows, compare that with the others. roger stone is supposed to show up tomorrow. he's not going to care. he'll be lining up for all the cameras. it will be a show for roger stone. >> it will be a show for roger stone, as it always has been. let's compare bannon and meadows

quickly. bannon told the committee to buzz off. he never attempted to provide documents or provide testimony, so the contempt referral on bannon made sense and it made sense to me that the committee charged him with contempt. we know that meadows provided thousands of documents to the committee and he negotiated through his attorney to provide testimony. that didn't happen, but he still negotiated. and, unlike bannon who has some small semblance of an advice of counsel defense which i think may not work, meadows probably has an advice of counsel defense. we may not like what his counsel is saying, we may not believe in his assertion of executive privilege, but in terms of charging him as a criminal with contempt of congress, the meadows case is tougher than the bannon case. again, not impossible but tougher. >> but tougher. i'm glad that you agree with me,

chuck. roger stone is just going to put on a show tomorrow. we have a decision to make. do we bring our cameras or not? one might say don't give him an audience. yamiche, eugene, chuck, always good to see you all. i appreciate you joining us with our lead-off panel tonight. coming up next, critics consider him the grinch which is holding up build back better. biden blames the republicans. two of our best observers are standing by to tell us who is to blame. and later, the demand for covid tests is soaring right along with virus cases. we'll talk to dr. vin gupta.

we've got to pass the build back better. we have to get this thing done and the white house needs to continue to push. there is no excuse. this is president biden's signature initiative. it needs to get done and the white house needs to push and the senate needs to get online here. >> plenty of frustration today from democrats over their own failure to push forward the president's social spending package. with us tonight to discuss, eugene robinson, pul iltser prize-winning columnist with the "washington post," and bill robinson, thinker -- thinker is a good one -- for "politico" and editor at large at the balwark.

president biden is insisting he and manchin can get past their differences. how do you think this will play out? >> i think manchin feels very little pressure at this point. republicans are universally opposed to some and some which seem to be very popular. if it's your number one priority, there are ways to pressure senators, including senators who oppose you. to drop some of the opposition you can arguably drop parts of the bill. there are some sensible parts of this bill and some that don't go into effect for two to three years, and some that is not very effective, and i don't think they're in very good shape now. >> what's not sensible enough? >> a lot of it goes into effect at different times. universal pre-k. they have these slogans. i actually looked at that for a

few minutes, i was actually curious. they offered education to three-year-olds? some aren't set up to do that. the pre-k teachers get the same salaries as elementary schoolteachers. they right now make about half as much. are we suddenly going to raise a whole class of people? maybe they should be paid more, but isn't that something states and localities should have something to say about it? there are big government sort of things. there are some things that are important. the child tax credit which takes a lot of kids out of poverty immediately. separate that out and dare the republicans to vote against that, but it's something republicans have been for. manchin says he's for it, it's just been unimagined the way they've done it. it's something he wrote that managed to make a very big government spending bill, so a lot of them in between voters who are nervous about democratic spending aren't very attracted

to it, and they started off with three, four, or five trillion, now they're down to seven trillion, so they sort of managed on the politics side of this to get the best of both worlds. >> i actually pulled a quote from tim miller early this morning because it's a cringer where he writes, if the democrats want to avoid annihilation in 2022, they need a different approach. the current path of depressing the base by not delivering on pie in the sky promises and simultaneously alienating swing voters who think they're going overboard is not working. eugene, what do you think about that? >> well, let me say this about that. have the democrats done a good job trying to sell this bill and communicate this bill and what's in it? a lot of which is extremely popular if you look at the

individual items in the bill. one problem is that there are, you know, 175 individual items in the bill. you can't talk about all the things in the bill in an elevator speech. so i think in terms of communicating the bill, they should talk about the child tax credit, and yes, talk about universal pre-k, and i think those pre-k teachers probably ought to be paid more, but the selling of this bill has not been done well. but the bigger problem is that, look, you have a tied senate. it's 50-50. so every senator can essentially be president, as president biden said, and just say no. and there are elements of this bill that joe might mention that they're going to say no about. so if you want to get around him and you can't change his mind, then you have to win yourself a

bigger majority. in terms of politics, i'm not sure -- >> win yourself a bigger majority? when, in 2022? things aren't looking good for democrats. >> i think it is true that 2022 is coming up, and if the election were tomorrow, i think democrats probably wouldn't do that well, but -- let's wait until we get to 2022 and let's see what candidates, republicans, put up with. let's see what happens with covid at the time, what happens with the economy at the time. there are a lot of things that will go into that. the senate right now is not terribly unfavorable to democrats this time around, so, you know, nobody thought they were going to take the senate in 2020 and they did. could they conceivably add seats? well, anything is conceivable in our politics these days, but

they're going to have to get better at the communications part. and the stars are going to have to align. the big things that people care about, covid and the economy, are going to have to get better before people start feeling warm and fuzzy about the democratic party. >> all right, then. we are not there yet but we are ready for a commercial. eugene and bill, stay with us. when we come back, we're going to talk about voting rights. what is next for democrats and the renewed push for voting rights?

we got to vote for the build back better act and we don't need a filibuster. i know the history of it, we ought to get rid of it and just remember, the moment they get the chance, republicans are going to get rid of the filibuster no matter what they say to the contrary. >> house majority jim clyburn on voting rights and the filibuster earlier today. while democratic senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema say they support voting rights legislation, but neither support getting around the filibuster.

eugene daniels and jim robinson. eugene, to you first. do we support sinema and manchin on voting rights if they want to do away with the filibuster? you can't have one without the other. >> no, you can't have one without the other. there is only one republican senator, lisa murkowski, who is willing to have the senate debate, the mildest, the least far-reaching of the voting rights legislation that the democrats have been posing. it has the civil rights act of 1965 that republicans used to routinely pass but passed unanimously for the time it was reauthorized in the senate. but today's republican party simply just doesn't believe in

it anymore and doesn't believe in voting rights the way they used to, so yeah, they're not going to have 60 votes in the senate any time soon, and if you're going to protect voting rights, you are going to have to do a carve-out around the filibuster, maybe not nuke it for all time but find some way around it if you're going to get it done. >> then given that, bill, do you see any path for voting rights legislation in the near future? >> i do, and they've had no strategy on this. they've run up the first major bill that failed and they narrowed it down some, which is good. they had a vote on it, it went away. they had a vote on the john lewis act, it went away. there was no laying the groundwork or describing why it was so important. a lot of americans don't live in those states and georgia and texas aren't focused on it. they think their states are okay

and there haven't been huge restrictions in a lot of the swing states which have democratic governors in many cases. they think, okay, maybe it's not that important. what happened between november 3rd and january 6 last year? what happened was we saw the whole system we have according to voters at the state level and what happened in congress, that could be fixed. that's the crisis, right? the crisis is reversing the election votes. the real crisis is state legislatures are going to get rid of the election, the impartial election servers, pressure them, then overturn the results at the state level and then the house might sustain that overturning of state legislatures. that's the republican plot. there's legislation that has been drafted that has not been introduced to deal with the act. they're holding back, they want

to go with other acts first. i think it looks weird to people. we had a crisis. let's deal with the thing that clearly needs help so we don't have state legislatures and members of the house of representatives overturning the election results, and that hasn't even been introduced. i just think the whole strategic thinking has been we have a list of things we're for, we're introducing those first. not what is the actual crisis we're facing right now, let's deal with that first, build support to that. once that passes, then you know you've laid the groundwork for other things. i'd say the same on other issues as well. let's focus on covid, getting a lot more tests out there, cheap rapid tests. i'd focus on getting a lot more people boosted than whether the federal government should regulate the salaries of pre-k teachers. i just think we should look at what's first and foremost now for voters. >> while this is happening,

groups are revving up their campaigns worrying that things won't get done. advocacy groups introduce centrists. they don't care what those big groups have to say. bill robinson and eugene daniels, thank you for joining us on this thursday evening. dr. vin gupta has a lot to say about the recent surge in cases and what we're learning about this new variant. here's a hint. for those who are unvaccinated, he says you are in big, big trouble. we'll have that and more when "the 11th hour" continues. d mor "the 11th hour" continues. to know about her ancestors and how important it is to know who you are and to know where you came from. doesn't that look like your papa? that's your great grandfather. it's like opening a whole 'nother world that we did not know existed. ♪ you finally have a face to a name. when you give the gift of ancestry®,

it's the most dominant variant in our country. you do get breakthrough infections of vaccinated people where in general they are mild infections. but the breakthrough rate will be higher than with delta. >> dr. anthony fauci warning americans to expect more of those breakthrough infections, but his biggest concern? the millions of americans who choose to still be unvaccinated. and i want you to look at this image right now. see that? that is not from the worst of the pandemic last year. that right there is from today. long testing lines in miami, miami, florida, the state which has a governor who has been fighting against the vaccine and mask mandates. back with us now to discuss, dr. vin gupta. he's a critical care pulmonologist and he's also at the institute for health merics and evaluation.

dr. gupta, i was reading your notes before the show, and what stuck out to me was where you say, for the unvaccinated, this new variant will suck. elaborate. >> good evening, stephanie. if we can, i think your team actually has a schematic of a lung of the respiratory tract. there is the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract otherwise known as the lungs. let's talk about if you're fully vaccinated today. your nodes have some antibodies in it in the lining of the nostrils and into the throat. there are a lot of t-cells and cells that protect against infection. we're noticing that people with just two doses of the vaccine, yes, they might test positive because the defenses in our noses are not that strong, as robust as they are in the lungs. you might test positive, and you

might have a sore throat as we're seeing in some cases, but by the time the virus tries to travel down to the lung, stephanie, there is no luck here in terms of creating pneumonia, because there is not enough downstream to tackle the virus. that's why we're seeing get a booster, because the chances you don't go to the hospital are more and more slim. not only do you lack some of those antibodies in the lining of your nostrils and in your throat, you have none of those powerful defenses in your lungs. that's why if you're unvaccinated, getting omicron, the most contagious form of the virus, you're in serious trouble. for those of us who are double vaccinat vaccinated, triple vaccinated, you may have the senses that come up with a positive test, but it will affect folks like

me. >> if the unvaccinated have to go to hospitals, what will this do to our hospitals that are already stressed? >> it's going to be problematic. there are 10,000 weekly deaths forecasted week after week into march. that coincides with flu season because of seasonality. a lot of people are still unvaccinated. for crisis standards of care, rationing of resources. we talked about it with the delta wave, we'll be talking about it in weeks ahead. that's not going to be the case for the unvaccinated. the vaccinated might get breakthrough cases, not a big deal. the unvaccinated will have a tough time. >> the unvaccinated said they

don't trust big pharma, they don't trust the vaccine, it was developed too quickly, there wasn't enough approvals. if those people get treated and they go to the hospital, what treatments will they get in the hospital? because for me i would guess those treatments are just as new, not tested very long and they come from those same big pharmaceutical companies. >> let's take the case if someone says, no thanks to the vaccine because i know there is a monoclonal antibody. pfizer just came out with that antiviral pill, 90% effective at keeping people out of the hospital if they test positive for covid. pfizer gives a vaccine. once you get to the hospital and you're dealing with folks in icus, we don't have great

therapies. we have steroids and nurses flipping patients from their back to their belly, hoping not to have to hook you up to a ventilator. our techniques are treatments. once you have critical illness, they're not that great and there is just a lot of chanted uncertainty at that point. you bring up a good point about those who might end up in the hospital. they're relying on the same pharmaceutical companies that have developed the vaccines. >> that makes absolutely no sense. you work in a hospital. are you frustrated? are you angry when these sick, sick unvaccinated people come for treatment and put you at risk? >> you know, our first credo as docs, one, to do no harm, number one, but two, to do our job,

which is to care for those who are sick and to provide them everything we can do for them at that moment. i will say, stephanie, in september i was deployed as a doc with the interforce reserve cancer care team. we were literally using resources that were in bogram, in kabul. what my colleagues have seen are unprecedented and i think it leads us wondering what happens in the next four months and the next pandemic. how do we do this so we're not just militarizing our health care people? what the tornados left

sadly officer cashe and officer celiz did not survive their acts of terrorism. >> commander cashe was on a night patrol in iraq that came under enemy fire and then a grenade was detonated, putting the patrol in flames. cashe thought only of his fellow soldiers trapped in the compartment. he pushed his own safety aside and went into a burning vehicle and got everyone out of the inferno. that was his code, a warrior that literally walked through fire for his troops. celiz was to clear the area of enemy forces. the enemy fire, in order to retrieve heavy weaponry system that allowed his team to fight

back. one of the members of his team was critically wounded. but as the helicopter began to take fire as well, the sergeant knew it was critical to get his wounded teammate loaded and treated. he put himself directly between the cockpit and the enemy, ensuring the aircraft could depart and sustaining what would prove to be a mortal wound. in the face of extreme danger, he placed the safety of his team and his crew above his own. then staff sergeant earl plumlee was snapping a quick photo with members of his unit at forward operation base in afghanistan. insurgents detonated a 400-pound car bomb that blew open a 65-foot-wide breach in the wall.
