-- marker calendars, they have one bigger then tuesday's press, the highest jackpot was worth more than one and a half billion dollars back in 2016. i wonder what they're up to, those winners, that's a heck of a lot of money. that wraps it up for me everybody. i have to go buy my lottery ticket. i'm yasmin of assyrian. simone sanders starts right now. >> greetings you're watching symone. the january six committee has wrapped up the schedule sear hearings, but the panel says there's more to come. what does accountable ability for the insurrection lookalike, for the people that could've lost their lives that day, people like d.c. metropolitan police officer, daniel hodges, he was beaten and almost crushed by the right credit the

capital. we're going to get his reaction to the hearings in just a few moments. and the w.h.o. just declared the monkeypox outbreak a global emergency. with more than 16,000 cases reported around the world, we're going to get into what you need to know about the response, here, in the states. plus president biden has tested positive for covid as some say we could be headed for a surge in the fall, y'all, so how could this impact the administration? we're going to get into it. i'm symone sanders and i have something to say. the january six committee presented a pretty damning conclusion in their final scheduled hearing on thursday. and they're focused on the 187 minutes the former president stepped by and did nothing to

stop the attack on the capitol. here's republican congressman adam -- >> the mob was accomplishing president trump's purpose. of course he didn't intervene. here's what will be clear by the end of this hearing. president trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the ellipse and telling the mob to go home. he chose not to act. >> the committee revealed never before seen footage including outtakes of the former presidents january 7th video address where he refused to say the election was over. listen to this, y'all. >> this election is now over, congress has certified the results. i want to say the elections over, i just want to say congress has certified the results. without saying the elections over, okay? >> but while these past few weeks of committee hearings have led to explosive revelations about the capitol

insurrection, the members say that they are not done and that more witnesses are coming forward to testify. here is what democratic congressman delay lori ahead to say about what lies ahead for the committee. >> we have more information and lots of questions surrounding the secret service and the text messages we have direct observations on that day they provide us different things we have to follow up. and the witnesses that have come before. knowing what we know now, we have to go back and call those people again because we have a better understanding of the circumstances and we can go back and ask tomorrow pointed questions. >> here with the latest and greatest is nbc news capitol hill correspondents at le raffa, welcome, welcome allie. >> i know there's not a lot of details out, right now, but what do we know about these future hearings and with the committee still has left to do? >> yeah symone, well the

committee is using this month long break in the hearings to take inventory of wet information it already has, and what sort of threads in this probe they want to dig deeper into. what sort of witnesses they still want to hear from. that's the most important thing here. the committee could've wrapped this over your long investigation after this eighth hearing on thursday. well before that unofficial november midterm deadline that the committee members have been trying to skirt in the long term. but as we've seen, over the last few months, really, the deeper the committee digs into this probe, the more revelations that come to surface. the more witnesses that come forward and say they have new information. if you think about where this probe stood just a few weeks ago before we heard from that surprise witness, that surprise last minute booked hearing, cassidy hutchinson, when we learned from her, how that led to former white house counsel pat cipollone to testify on the record, and had that straining

into this controversy and criminal probe, frankly, of those since deleted secret service text messages that the committee wants to see from around generous. six the committee is teasing what they're expecting to see in the future hearings when they come back in september, expect to hear more testimony from secret service officials about those texts. possibly more information about those missing white house call of. the committee saying on thursday that former president trump was still making last ditch efforts, latch last-ditch calls to senators on january 6th to delay the certification of those results. the more that the committee, again, gets information -- the more pressure you're gonna see from the committee on the doj to really accept this baton, and use this information and the evidence that the committee says it has for the justice department to finally act and do something about criminal charges as foreigners the former president. because >> nbc's allie raffa, thank you very much. >> i am joined right now, as we talked about thursday's hearing

focused on the 187 minutes, i'm joined by someone who experienced that firsthand. the mob beat officer with his own baton, he defended the capitol on january 6th. he joins me at the table. officer hodges, thank you so much for being here. i appreciate your time. i want to start by asking you, what was it like for someone who is not just there at the capitol that day, but you actively defended it? what was it like for you to listen to and watch to -- watch this last hearing, given everything that we now know about donald trump, about what he was doing and not doing in those moments? >> it's shocking, and it's not shocking. because they were donald trump's people. he sent them to the capitol. why would he take steps to recall them, to stop them, right? they were trying to accomplish his goals of stopping the

transfer of power. and the only time he actually made any effort to stop them was when it was clear that they were gonna fail. so, that's completely in line with what he -- his character and who he is. that wasn't really surprising. >> did anything on thursday's hearing shock you? >> not especially. i'm just grateful for the work the committee is done and their staff have done. all the evidence they've gathered, all the interviews. and getting it out there to the american public. that's the more important thing. the truth will out. i'm glad it's coming out there. >> so, former white house lawyer eric herschmann has come before the committee, we've seen is video, he described what happened after donald trump finally recorded a video address, essentially telling his supporters to go home. i want you to take a look at this footage from one of the

committees depositions. we're gonna play for you. >> was there any discussion about the president releasing a second video that day? >> not that i recall. when he finished his video i think everyone was like, days over. people were pretty much a -- >> were pretty wet? >> drained. >> when you say the day over, there is still people in the capitol at that point, where there? >> there were people in the capitol but, i believe by this stage, law enforcement -- have to go back, but i believe law enforcement either they were moving in where they were going to take charge. people were emotionally drained. by the time that videotape was done. >> emotionally drained-y? you are one of the officers they're defending it. what was your reaction to that? >> i don't know these people,

maybe they were emotionally drained. we all have different thresholds for that definition. but i can tell you that we love and forsman were defending the capitol, and we are definitely emotionally and physically drained. some people were drained of life that day. and so, you know hearing that they were emotionally drained is a little grating, but maybe they were. i don't know. >> officer hodges, i have to say, you say -- you seem very mild mannered and one could argue personally at peace, right here in this moment, i'm wondering how you arrived to that point. i have watched the videos of these hearings, i've watched january 6th unfold on television. i was down the street from the capitol at the democratic national committee. someone who's there who could've lost your life that day, you are just so remarkably zen at this moment. >> yeah, we won.

we won the day. i did my job. my comrades, we did our job. the president biden assumed his office. they didn't stop us. they didn't stop america from continuing on. yeah, i'm a little agitated at the news that's come out and i'm looking forward to any future judicial reckoning that comes forward. but, at the end of the day, we did our job. we won. the american people made it clear that they still believe in the republic, and they're glad for what we did. >> i want to bring up a tweet from vice president mike pence, i'm going to read it to you. apparently it is responding to the january six investigation. he says, quote, some people want this election to be about the past, but elections are always about the future. and then he adds, but if we come together, keep our eye on

the ball and focus on the future, we won't just win the next election, we will change the course of american history for january -- generations. a won't ask you to speculate about when he was talking about, but to me, sitting here and speaking with you, these hearings are not just an account of what happened but they're very important because the threat is still very real and it's active. i am -- that's where i sit, that's where that's my take on it. i'm wondering what your take is and what accountability looks like to you? >> yeah, i mean everybody looks for towards the future but the future is informed by the past. it's the past that has not been completely healed. we haven't had our accountability yet, so how can -- the future must reckon with the past in order for us to move forward in a progressive manner. accountability to me would look like the traditional reckoning

that i mentioned. i'd like to see some indictments come down. >> anyone in particular? >> donald trump sticks out in my mind. but anyone, anyone who deserves. that i don't care about their political affiliation is, i don't care who they are. if they try to overthrow the government, then i feel like there should be repercussions there. so yeah the indictments would be great. i'm looking forward to hopefully those. the longer term, accountability would be cultural -- just a repudiation of the people who support donald trump and the insurrection and that's gonna be a longer term goal for america, i think, but i think we can get there. >> i hope we get there, to. officer daniel hodges thank you very much for being here, for your insight, for your -- you are a shining example for all of us in doing the work and moving forward. i want to thank you for your time and i appreciate. it >> absolutely.

>> coming up, the walls are closing in for the former president's former circle? maybe, maybe not. let the conviction of stephen bannon, could mean for the president and his allies. also why is it so hard to believe that the secret service deleted these messages about january 6th. why is it hard to believe that it was an accident? let me tell you, i worked in federal government. the rules are very clear. i'll get into that with my path panel, next. but first my colleague is here with other top news stories. richard, i missed you, tell us what you have. >> some of the stories we're watching -- some breaking news on one of two americans that died in ukraine. luke lucyszyn -- her his mother informed us on the death in ukraine. the identity of the second

american has not been confirmed. >> also in ukraine, so musky calling the visit a important signal of bipartisan support for our country, alluding to ukraine. the delegation was led by a chair of the armed services committee, adam smith, brigitte bright also met with president zelenskyy. and evacuation orders were issued in some parts of california, near yosemite, a new wildfire spreading extremely fast there. the wildfire is 0% contained. it started friday afternoon but it's already one of california's biggest so far this year. more symone, right after this break. symone,oss? it looks so good it makes me hangry! settle down there, big guy the new subway series. what's your pick? break. the lows of bipolar depression can leave you down and in the dark.

(soft music) we may have lost the battle here, but we're not gonna lose this war. >> this is round one. that's what happened. this is a bulletproof appeal. the overreaching by the government in this case has been extraordinary on every level. there are issues for appeal in this case that are astounding. >> that was steve bannon and his attorney. it sounds like it won't be going quietly into the night. his internally is promising an appeal. after the trump ally was convicted on two counts of contempt of congress. this was after deciding he did not have to answer a subpoena from the january 6th select committee. steve bannon is now the first of trump's peeps, and i'm not

talking about easter candy, the first of the peeps to be convicted on charges related to the insurrection. after thursday night's committee hearing, let's just say i'm not sure he will be the last. let's bring in my panel to discuss. -- we also have sarah longwell, founder of the republican accountability projects -- the former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analysts. all right power packed panel ladies. let's get to. it if you could just breakdown for us what the chances really are of steve bannon's appeal actually working. >> well, the issue in the steve than case is whether or not he could say he was relying on the advice of counsel. the d.c. circuit has a case that says he could not.

essentially they're saying, you cannot use the excuse of i stole a cookie, but my brother told me to still steal cookie so i'm not really responsible. the d.c. circuit says you cannot use that excuse. but what's bannon's lawyers say is that the underlying case needs to be changed and that they are gonna take it up in the supreme court. i would say it's not likely but it's possible. >> not likely was possible. okay. now can we talk about the secret service for a second? the apartment of homeland security, their inspector general, has launched a criminal investigation into the secret service. it's all about their deleting of text messages about january 6th. i worked in the federal government. there is really no gray area here. everybody and their dog, everybody in their mom knows, when you work in federal government, you don't sleep messages, you don't delete emails, you don't delete notes, you keep the lunch orders. -- it sounds like the parties

involved here know the trouble is brewing. i want to play this for you guys. >> some of the officers said they would be coming -- they have not come in and they recently retain private counsel is unusual, but they have a right to do that. so we'll see. >> you saw the officers who retaining counsel, is that referring to ornado an angle? >> and the driver. >> and the driver? >> yeah. >> that is tony ornato for folks at home, donald trump's deputy chief of staff and a secret service senior official. and robert engel, donald trump's leading's -- and the driver of his little of that day. what are you expecting out of this investigation? >> look, there are three important things that we need to know. from the secret service officials that have really come up during these january six hearings. number one is trump's desire to remove the magnetometer's,

despite knowing that people in the arm were not armed, that is something we want to go by the secret service. there is now a legit altercation that took place between trump and the member of the secret service where they refused to take into the capitol. it is unclear. cassidy hutchinson testified to that. people refusing to go under oath. there was pushback on that. and then pence's refusal to allow the secret service to take him away from the capital. all of these issues have been raised by the committee and presumably the communication between the secret service agents could shed light on that. which is why it's extremely suspicious that all of that information has been wiped away. >> the suspicious to say the least. let's connect the dots. here 20 ornado, it is very unusual for a secret service agent to be brought on to the white house that staff as a political appointee, and then ornado has denied many of the

accounts of things that went on in the trump white house. is there trouble ahead for him? >> i don't know if i could say this trouble ahead for ornado. but keep in, mind it wasn't unusual for donald trump to bring in an author lucks people in the white house to staff the white house, including his own former managers of his hotels and resorts and things like that. i think it is true that there are questions for tony ornato. one of the things the committee's been very artful in doing is applying strategic pressure to get people to come into talk about key people who were in the white house. and provide full enough accounts that it forces their hand to come in and speak themselves. i don't know that ornado has on the record denied any of the accounts. in the way that you might expect him if he recessive before the committee. but the committee said they're getting new information every day. more people are coming forward to tell their story. one of the things they will try to do is cobble together every moment that tony ornato was in

trump's orbit, anything that he said, trying to recreate his timeline, and they would want to take that to him and see what he has to say. >> all. right we'll be watching. another important piece of this entire week though is attorney general merrick garland, who definitely call my attention when he commented on the january 6th select investigation. >> no person is above the law in this country. nothing stops us. >> even a former president? >> you many say that again. no person is above the law in this country. i can't say anything more clearly than that. >> cynthia, at this point, shouldn't merrick garland just show us instead of trying to tell us? >> yes. i think he's a very well-meaning person. an honorable man. he's been good on many issues. but there really is no excuse for the fact that there is not a wide ranging grand jury investigation. you can't just in this case, the focus of the justice

department has been on january 6th, and that's great, but there's also the elector case where they've only just begun, in georgia, the georgia fulton da has sent out target letters for people that the department of justice hasn't even interviewed yet. which means ultimately, they will not get interviewed them. they're way behind on the elector case. there's no evidence that they're moving very quickly on electoral cases other once. there is in a separate case just on the pressuring of pants. there's not a separate case on the pressure that's happening in these other states. it's incomprehensible to me that there isn't a team on each of these different spokes of the wheel of this investigation, of this conspiracy, and then they will all come together at some point. but instead, what they've done is just look at january 6th, and wait until that bubbles up. that's just not a good plan.

the good news is, that the congressional hearing has been so convincing that it's forcing their hand on pursuing more of an investigation. >> all right cynthia, you have the last word on. that thank you all very much. after the break, i'm gonna be joined by senator ben cardin of maryland folks, we're gonna talk about efforts to stop another january six from happening. senator cardin is one of the senators behind a bipartisan deal to reform the electoral count act. stay with us y'all. electoral count act. that can scale across all your clouds... we got that right? yeah, we got that. it's easier to be anstayovator. so you can do more incredible things. trelegy for copd.

hi, i'm steve and i live in austin, texas. i work as a personal assistant to the owner of a large manufacturing firm. i've got anywhere from 10 to 50 projects going at any given time. i absolutely have to be sharp. let me tell ya, i was struggling with my memory. it was going downhill. my friend recommended that i try prevagen and over time, it made a very significant difference in my memory and in my cognitive ability. i started to feel a much better sense of well-being. welcome back, y'all, donald prevagen. healthier brain. better life. trump insisted that the former bryce president mike pence can single-handedly swing the election in the former president's favor. well, now there's a new bill that could stop that misconception from ever happening again. it's called electoral count reform and presidential

transition act. it passed in the senate this week. republicans and democrats agree on something? when does that happen anymore? i'm joined by one of the democratic senators who wrote that bill. senator ben cardin of maryland. okay senator, i want to get into this. i know this is actually two bills. let's look at the first one. this is the bill that would clarify the vice presidents role in counting electoral college votes. when else does it propose? >> well symone, first of all it's good to be with you. this is a true bipartisan product. it clarifies and certifies the out electorals from the state, those laws must be in place prior to the election. states cannot change their lives afterwards. the vice president's role is strictly ministerial. it's a very limited challenge that could be made before the joint session of congress. it provides for judicial review at both the federal and state

level. it provides certainty to a law that was written in many years ago. we thought it was clear, but it's important that it was -- that there is no ambiguity whatsoever and we never repeated january six. again >> i'll be with you sir, it sounds to me the first bill eliminates the question altogether. but it's also being paired with a second bill. that bill is about election security, if you will. the bill says it will increase penalties for threats and intimidation of election officials. i don't think anyone wants to see another isn't like what's happening is to shea myers, but i do think there has been some criticism that this bill doesn't go far enough in holding folks accountable who threaten poll workers. what's your response to that? >> i think these are modest changes in increasing the length of time someone can be sent to prison for intimidating election officials.

it also clarifies the postal system to make it easier, that parents will be received on time. in -- a smooth transitional power for a president election to get information. but let's not get -- these are important changes, but there are not very dramatic. i think the most important is to get the electoral count act done. >> important, not necessarily bold. i guess did the bill face much opposition? because it doesn't seem there's much in it to be objected to. >> i think whenever we're dealing with election laws there's going to be some controversy. let me make a clear, it's important that we get this bill done. but we also need to pass the voting rights act to reinstate some of the provisions that have been neutralized by the supreme court decision. this bill, the electoral count act we're hopeful we can get it done. we do have bipartisan support.

i know that senator schumer is very interested in making sure that this is taken up when we return and september. we need to get it done this year. i am optimistic we will get this bill to the finish. like >> all right we'll be watching that. before i let you go, i have to ask you about your race in your state -- tom perez and a whole host of individuals -- and and the associated press the call of the race for westmore. westmore claimed victory, wet took the former press secretary so long to concede, do you think? >> the problem in maryland is that we had a very large percentage of votes that were sent in by mail. because the governor vetoed the bill for when we could count those ballots that came in by mail, they couldn't start counting until thursday after the elections. it was until yesterday that we had a good sense into how the voting by mail was going.

i think westmore suggested that we waited for the count, so did tom perez. now we have enough votes that westmore clearly is gonna be our nominee. we couldn't be more excited. both of them are great people. strong candidates. we're now all behind westmore. westmore is going to be the next governor as. maryland >> that's your prediction for november? >> oh absolutely. i'm very confident that we'll see westmore -- help provide the leadership, he wants to include all marylanders in the work for governor. he's a person that we're garner, i think, the support of all the candidates running for the democratic nomination. i think he'll excite all voters of maryland, not just democrats. it's an exciting time. he has great vision as to marilyn's future. so westmore will be the next governor of maryland. >> all right, senator ben cardin, thank you very much sir for your time. we'll see you soon. all right next we're --

states at this time. right now president biden held a virtual meeting. he was able to get it just. fine here's what the white house secretary had to say. >> the president said he still putting in eight plus hours of work day. and that he wants to remind americans to get vaccinated. because in his own words, it matters. >> all right i'm joined now by dr. peter hotez, he's the co-director of the senate for vaccine development at the texas children's hospital, and he's the da of the national school of tropical medicine at the baylor college of medicine. greetings doctor. i want to start with the ba.5 variant. it looks like that's what he has. he's been vaccinated, he's double boosted, and this virus, the, keeps reinventing himself, and it's slipping by all of our antibodies. can we get vaccines for every

variant out in time to make a difference? >> well, you know, symone, it's partially evading it, but on the other hand if you're vaccinated and boosted, and preferably double boosted, it makes a big difference. that gives you a very high level of virus neutralizing antibodies against the original variant. there's enough there to spill over and neutralize the ba.5. that's why he's sitting, doing zoom calls instead of doing in the hospital right now. first and foremost because he is doubly boosted. only about a quarter of americans over the age of 65 have gotten that second booster. we're failing to get that message, and we have a lot of unnecessarily hospitalizations. remember we are still over 400 deaths a day. it's not the 2 to 3 thousands that we saw earlier, but it's still the third leading death in the united states. so there's still a lot to do with the existing tools.

whether or not that new variant specific booster ever materializes, because by the time already ba.5 will be in the rearview mirror. there's a big summit at the white house, that i'll be part of, to discuss a longer term strategy. but for now, get that second boost. >> let's talk about that longer term strategy, doc, because, i've been listening to you for a long time. you've been very clear in saying that until we do our due diligence to make sure the united states and the rest of the world is vaccinated, we're just gonna keep dealing with this virus. if we in fact cannot do that, if we don't hit that threshold number, are we just destined to have variants with us forever? are we gonna be in a forever pandemic? >> that is the risk because, you know, even though we're not doing optimally in the united states, if you look at the african continent, parts of south and southeast asia are doing far worse. we know that delta arose out of an unvaccinated population out

of india -- omicron out of a unvaccinated population. mother nature is showing us which she has in store for us. unless we can ensure vaccine equity, which is another point of the conference on tuesday. a lot of work to do. in the long term our group is looking to develop a universal coronavirus vaccine. taking that existing vaccine that we develop for global health, and now expanding it to get many more variants and new coronaviruses that were surely arise, because remember covid-19 is actually the third major coronavirus epidemic that we've seen in the 20th century. we had sars in 2002, mers in 2012 -- there's gonna be covid 27, and covid 32. in the short term, what do we do over the next two months to year in terms of recommending for boosters, do we try to make a variant specific mrna? do we pivot to another

technology? a lot of unclear questions. a lot of unclear answers to very important questions. >> very, very much so. before i let you go, dr.. there's another doctor in the news. monkeypox, the world test -- world health organization announced today that it's a global emergency. we've had nearly 3000 cases in 45 states here at home. at least two of those cases are children. who are more likely to die. tell us, before you leave us today, but we need to know about monkeypox and the risk of contracting it. >> the trajectory, is pretty steep, we've already got more than 15, 16,000 cases globally. that's probably a underestimate by a factor of who knows wet. there's probably many more cases. it's accelerating on a specific social network of men who have sex with men. not because it's sexually transmitted, but it's just gotten into that social network to begin with. the concern is it could expand to other vulnerable population.

kids, those who are immunocompromised. we've already had to covid -- two kids infected. we've got to get our arms around this. that means accelerating the number of doses that are being produced. the biden administration wants to expand to 300,000 over the next few weeks, 1.6 million over the next year that still may not be enough, but a lot of hard work a lot of ahead. hard work a lot of hard work. xinjiang thank you for coming and making it planned and breaking it down. we appreciate your time. all right y'all, it's not just any old heat wave. this is the climate crisis and action. at this very moment, 80 million americans live in areas under extreme heat alerts, with temperatures in the northeast expected to reach triple digits. wildfires have sprouted up around the globe, from the uk to texas. recent heat waves have already killed thousands worthwhile. earlier this week president biden announced an executive

action, to add to allocate more than two billion dollars and fema funding for climate resilience, -- and expand to keep people and lower income areas cool. -- also to expand in the gulf of mexico. how much of an impact can we really make without congress committing to climate legislation? and talking to the united states senate. here to discuss it all is deputy white house national climate adviser. welcome to you sir. you are the climate guru as i like to say. i'm so happy to be chatting with you today. i want to start talking about these proposals. specifically about expanding wind power areas in the gulf of mexico. how confident is the administration that this proposal is gonna become a reality?

>> we are very confident. this is not just about developing clean energy, it's about seizing a broad economic opportunity. we are seeing that now in the northeast, where the president visited this past week, not only folks buying land from the federal government to build these offshore winter vines, but investing here in america to manufacture the turbines, the stuff that goes into harnessing the wind from the sea. what's really exciting to me, and i think to the president, is this is turning around communities that have so often been left out and left behind. it's helping lift up workers with good paying union jobs. we are seeing the steel literally go into the water now because of the projects -- and now regulars see it all around the country off of every single coast. >> so this is not just proposals, is actually

happening. given that i've known you for a while now, and i know how this goes, the president has been previewing other climate actions he could take. he tweeted about it as recently as today. can you give us a sense of what that might entail? what is on the table here? there's a lot here that could happen, so it's on the table? >> it's so important. i've been able to see this from day one of this administration walking through the skates, and to my desk, the president has been moving so quickly from day one. folks are asking, what's different now? what he is saying, and this is very clear, is it's the time to put the sirens on. it's time to go faster and faster. with that looks like, offshore wind is a great example. we came in and reverse the posture of the previous administration had taken, which was creating confusion and slowing the progress. now we've not only opened atlantic but the pacific, and

efforts off the gulf of mexico. when we look at things like electric vehicles, the president came in and reversed trump rollbacks a fuel economy standards. now we are looking forward and thinking about how we are going to accelerate to two -- fully electric for vehicle sector -- projects like methane solution, where the president does bring able to bring together 100 countries to take action. we can go bigger. we can go bolder. >> i want to play former vice president al gore for you. he talked about climate change with my colleague and this is what he had to say. take a listen. >> the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers in uvalde, texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred.

they heard the screams. they heard the gunshots. nobody except nobody stepped forward. godless those families who suffered so much. law enforcement officials tells that's not typical of what long forsman usually does, and confronted with this global emergency, what we're doing with our inaction and failing to walk through the door and stop the killing, is not typical of what we are capable of as human beings. we do have the solutions. >> we have the solution. i know that this is personal for president biden. he's not new to this fight. but you and i both know we cannot just executive order out of the climate crisis. congress, specifically the united states senate, has a role to play here. so what is the strategy when it comes to the senate? >> here's the deal on congress. they passed a bipartisan infrastructure law thanks to the leadership of the president,

the largest ever investment in our grid, the largest ever investment in the resilience to the climate threats. enough money to make sure we fulfill the presidents goal of 500,000 ev charging stations around the country. we've been able to move progress through the congress. there is additional things they can do. we've been very clear about that. about efforts to cut consumer cots, help excel raid the construction of clean energy. but the president has been clear about is we are not gonna wait on congress. they've not taken action on these additional proposals. we've gotta move forward. to vice president gore's point, absolutely, we've got 60 million homes today that are powered by clean energy. one out of seven of those homes got clean electricity during the biden administration. we doubled the vehicle charging under the biden administration. we've already made progress,

and we've got to go faster. >> all right alleys 80, making progress. thank you very much. next i have a very special moment that happened on an extraordinary wedding day with the love of my life. i'm so excited to tell you about it. stay right there. excited to tell youth 30 grams, 1 gram of sugar enter powered by protein challenge for a chance to win big! research shows that people remember ads with young people about it look what i brought! liberty mutual! they customize your home insurance... so you only pay for what you need! ♪young people having a good time with insurance.♪ stay right there ♪young people.♪ ♪good times.♪ ♪insurance!♪ only pay for what you need. ♪liberty liberty. liberty. liberty.♪
