and tamara keith of npr. ladies, our first in-person reunion, very happy to do this, complicated times though. high stakes and i want to turn to an issue that might get lost but is part of this large budget reconciliation package democrats are talking about, immigration, democrats are talking about attaching immigration reform to that. they don't know the details yet, they are working it out. but tam, i want to go to you. how does the biden administration handle is idea of perhaps adding some legal status, pushing for that for some undocumented illegal residents and on the border more and more undocumented residents entering. >> right, 188,000 people were apprehended on the southwest border. that is a 21 year record so the numbers are very pblematic for the biden administration. and polling reflects that. but in terms of the reconciliation bill, the budget bill, what happened is a federal judge in texas said that daca, the dreamer program that was put in place during the biden administration,. >> the obama ad

and tamara keith of npr. and it is very good to see both of you.way, but we can still see you just like you're here with us in the studio. i have to say, first of all, what a privilege it was, tam and amy, to be able to go to plains, georgia, to sit down with former president carter and mrs. carter, their 75th wedding anniversary. and they're still following the news, amy. it is really something. >> amy: i loved the plug for the "newshour," of course, judy, and for your leadership of it, which is wonderful. obviously, their engagement not with just american politics, but american life, has been quite remarkable. over these last many years, whether it was habitat for humanity, and, of course, the work that president carter has done internationally. i do think you're correct, he is sort of remaking his assessment of his presidency. and it's one of the good and bad things about being a president who lived so long, is you get to see your legacy written and rewritten over and over and over again. >> woodruff: it is hard to believe, tam. it has been 41 y

and tamara keith of npr. and we thank both of you for being here.is so good to see you both in person at the desk. tam, i do want to come back to what frmer president trump said. love is in the air. he said it was all about love and it was peaceful. can he rewrite history? >> he has been rewriting history since january 6th. well, actually since before but o january 6th. he tweeted these are the things that you get, essentially, with regards to the election. and then he ends his tweet go home, with love and in peation. remember this day forever exclamation point. he was rewriting the story of what happened that day on tha day. and this is a contied evolution. it's obviously not just him, there are republican members of congress who have said oh, it was just a tourist visit. there is is a very concerted effort under way to say that what we all saw with our eyes, wasn't what we saw. >> and amy, you and i have both been covering this city ang american politics for a long time. maybe even-- me longer than you. have you seen an instance where someone in t

. >> tamara keith at npr. >> thank you for taking my question. my question is i noticed as you talk about the next steps , is that the next phase of this push? >> .. thanking people to get vaccinated -- >> absolutely not. the response teams are important to ready to work with, called upon states and counties that are in the situation where there's fewer people vaccinated cases are increasing so capabilities we had in place and bring up to deal with ... variant, an important area of focus even as vaccinations have slowed somewhat this last month or so, we are filled still vaccinated millions of people each week, more than 2 million people each week in june have gotten their first job shot and feelings are getting a second shot. people getting the second shot, regimen will double down on these efforts as we continue to vaccinate millions of people across the summer months so this whole of government wartime response continues, we are looking more and more from a person by person, community by community, eating people where they are and places of wo

joining me now with their reporting and their insight, toluse ol, and jackie kucinich and mpr's tamara keith. so this is really obviously extraordinary but after four years of the trump presidency i think a lot of people could become numb to what we're hearing about in all of these accounts. the consistency of it though is really astounding. and it is shocking to me, i think as we sit here, jackie, that there is it seems no outrage among a lot of republicans here in washington about what is being said about the former president who they also say, by the way, is the leader of their political party. >> because he's the leader of their political party and they linked to him beoth from an ideology standpoint and fundraising standpoint. let's get down to the politics of this. you couldn't get closer to that day, january 6, than kevin mccarthy who was on phone with the president asking him to call off his supporters. and yet who was at bedminster just this week meeting with the president again? and has very much tied his potential future speakership to the former president. so there is no getting
