governor ned lamont, democrat of connecticut, joins me now. governor, it's good to have you.ccine, and what the results of those policies has been. >> good evening, chris. i'll tell you that through encouragement and incentives, we got about 88% of our adults vaccinated. we got the overwhelming majority of our nurses and teachers vaccinated. but that wasn't good enough. so we put in place mandates. that means that all teachers must be vaccinated and they are all getting vaccinated. all health care workers must be vaccinated. all state employees as of midnight tonight must be vaccinated or at least give us their testing protocols and how we can keep people safe. i would like to tell you that well over 90% of our folks are following that. >> right now, if i'm not mistaken, according to the cdc data we have, you've got the most vaccinated state in the union in terms of percentage of the eligible population. these numbers float around, but that's 12 and up, 79.9%. what has that meant for what delta looks like, what normally life looks like, your hospital system, as you have seen

ned lamont won the primary fair and square and thanks to the laws of connecticut, i had a chance to gon independent, and thanks to the voters in connecticut, i won that one fair and square support from all three parties. i was privileged to have a final term in the u.s. senate. long live the debate. not all of us are going to agree. i think my point in this book is when we disagree, we've got to remember that we are fellow citizens of the same great country and it is much better to sit down at the table together, talk, and try to find a way to make some progress, listen to each other, instead of standing back and throwing blocks at each other. it doesn't do anything. host: the u.s. house will be coming in momentarily and so will the senate on c-span two, with a key vote coming up on a voting rights measure, procedural vote, likely won't get the 60 votes needed. you think the democrats should break the filibuster in the u.s. senate? guest: let me say two things quickly. i support the voting rights act from what i know about it. i don't know as much in detail as i would if i was in the s

governor ned lamont of connecticut, thank you. >> thanks, chris. >>> that is "all in" for tonight. "the rachel maddow show" starts now with ali velshi. >> chris, we have not crossed paths in the last year and a half, so we caught up a little bit. >> nothing like a little makeup room chitchat. >>> rachel's got the night off. thanks to you for joining us. we're coming up on nine months since the january 6 attack on the united states capitol. i think for all of us, amid the deluge of video and photographic documentation of the attack that emerged in the days and weeks afterwards, there are certain moments, certain images from that day that are burned into our minds. moments like this one. a man in a very distinctive stars and stripes jacket with "trump" emblazoned in big letters on the back steps toward the capitol police who are guarding a doorway and unloads a fire extinguisher at them at close range. and when the fire extinguisher runs out, he chucks it at them, at the police officers who are under siege. he chucks it as hard as he can. one of the astounding things about this video

ned lamont ran against him. he was forced out. add democrat kinzinger is similar.ng victory. two down, eight to go. i do think it's worth looking at those remaining eight who voted to impeach the president. liz cheney at the top of the list. >> my over/under is five running. so far eight are running. >> the democrats use redistricting the go after adam kinzinger. he lives in his district by 1.6 miles in a 700-mile district. you'll see a lot of praise for him from democrats except no one in the l.a. legislature wanted him to come back. >> perhaps minneapolis is the best place to go, cornell, because it has this referendum on what to do with police. this gets to the young animated voters you brought up, police reform was one of those things. minneapolis, obviously, ground zero considering this is where george floyd was killed. i want to put up the split inside the minnesota democratic party on this issue. essentially getting rid of the police department as they know it, having a department of peace. some argue there could be even more on the streets but for different
