point number two, about that man, about governor hutchinson, i think a review of the record will showhe has been pretty much all over the place on this pandemic. which has been a tricky business for him. we all know politically about the state of arkansas, what's a? >> well that was my colleague, jennifer palmieri, one of our cohost. she does a good job for us. the complete clip, you'll see really gets to a larger point, we are talking about the vaccine mandates is the thing for this week. hutchinson is some of the other republican governors, -- in mississippi where they feel like they are starting to do a persuasive job, but then they feel like the vaccine mandate from biden has only heightened the partisanship, and rejection of the mandates. but that is the point of that scene. but it's clear that i talked to people from the white house. that i think it's gonna work. i think my initial skepticism about it -- but for example, tyson's food in arkansas put in a mandate, anyone from something like 30% vaccinated to 70% vaccinated. so they know works in the business leaders are saying, i

a couple of things, hundred percent right about governor hutchinson. not only that dr.or anybody else, he said, listen, you don't want to do that. i have conversations with people in my office to describe why they should get the vaccine, what mdo, what mrna technology is. the other thing and i know other people have to get in here. when you go through this vaccine and you want people to take the vaccine, i think it would be perfectly honest to say who's not taking it. ph.d.s aren't taking it, a huge number of medical experts aren't taking it and the african american community 40% have been vaccinated. so don't yell at trump supporters and say you're the problem. point out there's some smart people that don't want to take it. ask them why >> katie: right. jessica? >> jessica: i think everyone who hasn't taken it yet should get a fair hearing why they're not and that's why immunity conversation is a huge factor in this and that was part of the biden mandate is that you could also get tested on a weekly basis and that would cover you in terms of getting vaccinated, you cou

i've been speaking with australian social media expert, andrew hutchinson.sked him why now? the big thing they're trying to tackle as council culture which is when someone tweets something that is offensive whether deliberately or not, someone says that is wrong, someone says that is wrong, someone else pales onto that and then it gets bigger and bigger until you have got hundreds of thousands of people responding to this one person and they become the subject of hate for however long that might be which can take a significant mental toll on people so this gives them the capacity to shut that off and avoid that from happening and unwittingly becoming the sort of focus of hate for that day. how does that actually work? at the moment if you send a harmful message it almost asks you to think again, doesn't it? give you time before it actually broadcast about how this actually work and how will users be able to use it?- users be able to use it? there are several— users be able to use it? there are several prompts _ users be able to use it? there are several prom

asa hutchinson and mike duane in ohio. does that give you pause or are they wrong in this?> i respect people have their right to opinion. the governors have been extraordinary partners. republican or democratic governors, we have the privilege to work with them closely over the last 90 months. from time to time there will be disagreements but that does not mean we don't stop with one another. we know a lot of businesses have welcomed that we know and help keep workplaces safe. dana, if we ultimately want to get people back to work and keep them at work, hey, i am coming back to the workplace then it's going to be safe. these vaccinations will help people to do that. i believe they'll not improve public health, they'll get people some piece of mind. >> the president's new plan has some exemptions. any concerns people will abuse those exemptions in order to avoid getting the vaccines? >> well, it's always a possibility. it's something that we fortunately have experience with in our country. we have vaccine requirements for a number of illnesses. you and i went to grade school

if you're a republican challenger, asa hutchinson of arkansas, he's pushing people to get vaccinated. he says when a democratic president mandates vaccines, it's counter productive. >> we have to overcome resistance. this is a very serious deadly v vie virus, and we're all together in trying to get an increased level of vaccination out in the population. the problem is that i'm trying to overcome resistance but the president's actions in a mandate hardens the resistance! >> here with me in studio to share reporting and insights, claudia congressional reporter, and jonathan martin, political reporter for the "new york times." it's fascinating. if you look at the polling, number one, a democratic president, telling republicans to get a vaccine, and then saying i'm going to mandate causes a reaction. you see here, 77% of republicans, they oppose that. this is interesting, 56% of independents say that's an unacceptable intrusion on their right. you see trouble for the president in his urging and in his mandates for vaccines in the polling. however, there's also some evidence in our new po

massachusetts chief justice and lieutenant governor thomas hutchinson had his home invaded by a stamp act mom who smashed in his doors, asked his furniture, scatterednv his papes and books and made off as it was described with money, plate, gold rings, et cetera. when americans finally rose in general revolt against great britain in 1775 they did their very best to wipe out any trace of executive governors. the first continental congress designated a president, peyton randolph from virginia in 1774, but the continental congress gave him no powers beyond keeping congresses deliberations in order. john hancock my dad signed the declaration of independence in the boldest hand of all as president of the congress in 1776, but signing documents was almost all he did. some states actually abolish the office of governor entirely and try to rule through a council elected by the legislature. having thrown off the rule of king, americans were not eager to substitute something similar in its place. but the experience of the postwar yearse demonstrated tht too little executive power might be a a r

. >> to that end, i want to play misthat asa hutchinson said yet on "meet the press" about this very let's think about this for a second. we have some very aggressive governors from blue states, but i'm not aware of any governor from any state that said we want to mandate businesses to require vaccinations. so the states, none of them have done that, yet the federal government steps in. >> to that end, governor, you praised the president for taking action we have taken actions where, in our prisons, if you are an unvaccinated corrections officer, you have to get tested once per week. we do that amount of testing in our long-term care facilities and our nursing homes. we worked with our entire medical community, where just about every major hospital system came out and said we need all of our employees to get vaccinated or they're going to have to be tested a specific amount, or mo to a non-clinical setting. listen, i think we still need a lot of questions answered about i president's plan, but it's easy to sit back, if you're not taking that bold step and trying to get people vaccina
