| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Today is Sunday, September 26th. I'm Ali Velshi. The cornerstone of President Biden's |
| 0:11.1 | agenda could be decided this week. House Democrats are caught in a struggle between moderates who |
| 0:16.1 | want a smaller physical infrastructure bill passed with bipartisan support and progressives who want a sweeping |
| 0:22.3 | bill with greater social safety net priorities passed regardless of whether any Republicans |
| 0:27.9 | support it. Both groups want their bills passed first as a precondition to supporting the other |

| 1:21.1 | the deadly January 6th insurrection happened exactly 263 days ago, how one of the worst assaults on our democracy was allowed to happen |
| 1:31.9 | remains top of mind, and the threat posed by the rioters who participated in the attack still seems far from over. |
| 1:39.4 | As we learn more about these far-right extremists, new revelations are raising questions about law enforcement's |
| 1:44.8 | ability to properly grasp how dangerous they are. A stunning new report from the New York Times |
