the governor of georgia and georgia and georgia's secretary of state let us down. they let us down. and by the way, the voting law they passed is far weaker than that of texas and other states. you hear that, mr. attorney general? they don't even have signature verification. could you imagine passing a voting law, but everyone things, they are passing this, no it's not. you notice they are the only state being sued by the federal government. do you know why? because it's an easy target. because the governor and the secretary of state won't defend like that guy will defend. so, i only speak the truth. so true. and the reason the attorney general of the united states is going after georgia is its so bad what they've done, and they will probably win, and that defense won't take place. they go out and they really work very hard on finding the right state to look at. now, stacey abrams and georgia got them to sign what's called a mandated consent decree, which was not approved by the legislator, therefore it's illegal, and makes a very easy for democrats to cheat and win elections. you d

>>> georgia republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green is comparing americans to be vaccinated to the nazis. here's how we got here. with covid cases up now in 27 states, the biden administration is launching a new door-to-door campaign to try to get more americans vaccinated. congresswoman taylor attacked on twitter and said biden pushing a vaccine not fda approved showing covid is a political control. they don't need your medical brown shirts showing up ordering vaccinations. you can't force people to be part of the human experiment, end quote. the brown shirts played a big role in the rise of hitler and the nazi party in the 1930s as well as the '40s which then led to the holocaust and the genocide of 6 million jews and others. greenes tweet comes after she said this about mask wearing rules at the capitol. >> you know, we can look back in a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put on trains and taken to gas chambers in nazi germany and this is exactly the type of abuse

we start this morning in dekalb county, georgia. natasha chen joins us live. it's where many experts are encouraging people to roll up their sleeves by offering incentives, right, natasha? >> reporter: yeah, boris. they're giving out prepaid gift cards today in hopes more people will come to this spot at a mall and get the shot especially as school districts in this area sometimes a bit early to make up for lost instruction time during the pandemic. in many places across the country, georgia is seeing a rising 7-day average new covid cases and that has a lot of people concerned. >> america's waking up to a new day of increased covid restrictions and president biden said we're likely to see more as cases of the highly contagious delta virus spreads. >> almost 1 million people got vaccinated yesterday. >> cdc data shows the rate of new vaccinations is the highest it's been in weeks. just under half the u.s. population is fully vaccinated. the u.s. is pulling in extra help to get it approved as quickly as possible to ease the minds of those worried about vaccine

we know since yesterday, there are school districts such as gwinnett county here in georgia, okay, we'll do masks now. three larger school districts in the country, new york, los angeles and chicago said they will do masks. but there's going to be a lot of heated discussion about this, i think. >> sanjay, you're nicer than i am. that's a statement of fact. dr. walensky is nicer than i am. that's a statement of fact. i have forgiveness issues. i will stipulate that right now. i asked her whether or not we should be blaming unvaccinated people for this. take the word "blame" out of it, sanjay. isn't it just a statement of fact that this is happening right now? that kids are going to have to wear masks in schools again now that these communities are going to have to mask up again now? because people chose not to get the vaccine? it just seems to be a statement of fact. >> i think it's absolutely right, john. i think -- what is the problem? what you're asking here, what is the problem you're trying to solve? the problem fundamentally, again, you elicited this from her. unvaccinated people, w

it is easier for coke to issue statements about voting law in georgia or teach their employees to be less white than to contend with their own role in the nationwide epidemic of diabetes and obesity, including in the very black community they profess to care so much about, and to think, shannon, the ceos want to wait into politics, and without democratic accountability, that is what i like that these folks are doing, holding them to account to not let the ceos to escape debate when they enter contentious issues. >> shannon: there will be more ads to come, i believe. the story when i first saw it, is this "the onion" or "babylon b?" i wasn't sure it was real. apparently we have to change the language of when we interact with sharks, calling for rebranding violent attacks as "interaction," marine experts and advocates in australia urging the public from refraining from using the word "attack with sharks, claiming they have been unfairly stigmatized as a killer, some words were used told to use our "bite," interactions. i doubt the sharks are behind it but apparently their fans are. >>

senate hearing today happening in georgia. you heard that right. the senate rules committee relocated to atlanta for the day to hear testimony about the new restrictive voting law in that state. the committee chair, senator amy klobuchar, joins me now. senator, thank you so much. i appreciate you joining me, i know it's been an extra busy day for you, having to travel. this is the first field hearing held by the rules committee in 20 years. i want to play some of what you heard from witnesses in georgia. here it is. >> one of my colleagues in the house, representative allen cowell, in a committee meeting said to somebody who was testifying, you're correct, it was found, meaning fraud, it's just in a lot of people's minds that there was. he actually said that in a committee meeting. it's really not there, it's just in a lot of people's minds that there was. so this legislation is based on things that are in the imagination in people's minds. >> after an hour and a half of standing outside, we made it inside the building, finally. just to find out th

a frightening situation in georgia. the atlanta or georgia golf association putting out a statement about that much-respected gosiller. our thoughts and prayers going out to him and his family. >> gilliathese days. >> griff: everywhere violence will reach. >> gillian: china has tough talk about president xi. how should the u.s. respond? we have general jack keane coming up next. a disturbing home invasion is caught in new york city. the rising crime sweeping across the big apple. as we celebrate america's independence some americans are changing what freedom and the flag really means. >> the flag represents freedom. that's the intrinsic desire that we as human beings have. (man) i've made progress with my mental health. so when i started having unintentional body movements called tardive dyskinesia... ... i ignored them. but when the movements in my hands and feet started throwing me off at work... i finally had to say, 'it's not ok.' it was time to talk to my doctor about austedo. she said that austedo helps reduce td

i live in this county. 159 counties in georgia. there is a reason why republicans are only investigating one. out of all the other counties that had problems on election day, no other county is being investigated and at risk of being taken over by a republican pair a gram. it's only fulton county. they are afraid to say what we all know is true out loud -- that, is too many people that look like me showed up to vote and fulton county. now they want to do something about that. what we also know, when you look across the board and how we've made changes in fulton county, in june, we had our primary elections. the fulton county board of -- commissioners came in to see what happened on election day. they came in got things together for the november election. give people more access to get the lines, down they made sure they had more poll workers. you know what the state did? they passed espy 2:02 to say you can't do mobile voting units. we will not do all these drop boxes to reduce the waiting in line. the republicans are still to blam

they deleted and georgia, over 100,000 votes. the drop boxes were very late, where are they? what happened? every time the media references the election hoax, they say the fraud is unproven -- and while there is no evidence, no evidence? no evidence. there is so much evidence. >> on those very election lies, the former president keeps talking about, here's the response from one of -- >> his speech is dangerous, it's sickening, frankly. even more traveling are all those around him elected leaders, and now many in his base, who are complicit in these lies. >> still with us, our guests on callaway, and matt kaye lewis. matt, i will lead this segment was something you wrote in the daily beast. democracy works best and we have two same centrist parties. right now, we have one half of one party that fits this description. therefore, it's and everybody's best interest to encourage democrats to relate in a bit, to save themselves, and to help the gop recover from the cancer that elected trump. matt, folks at home watching who may think the democrats are way too sane, way too centered

arkansas, louisiana, tennessee, mississippi, alabama, georgia. florida, alone, now, big state, number-three state, right? makes up a huge chunk of the new cases. they have been in the top five for new cases, going back to april. now, if you look, you will see that there's some toxic politics that go along with that. don't fauci florida and all this other stuff. and now, he is anti-masks down there, the governor. i get the political play. it works with the trump fold but it's making people sick. you could say that, look. they have a big population. okay? so they're going to have bigger numbers. but the positivity is way outpacing the rest of the country. okay? which is why they have more people in the hospital, than they did at any time this year. it's a scene playing out across the entire region. it's not just florida. but you have to look at where you have the most cases, and you will see the lowest percentages of vaccination. and the highest rates of transmission. okay? if you focus on that same group of states, you see, it's almost all red dow

but this past election cycle was not that in georgia. this is about election integrity. >> but this week the voting debate a bit sour for the folks down in georgia business leaders who lost out on the mlb all-star game. moved out of atlanta to the mile high city of denver, colorado because of all of this controversy. now we know that the republican party plans to air as criticizing georgia's two senators democrats over this saying that they are costing taxpayers millions of dollars in revenue because of this decision. and while president biden is focusing on crime today, he will be in philadelphia tomorrow to talk about voting rights. steve, ainsley, and brian, back to you. steve: busy day, all right, mark, thank you very much. brian: enjoyed listening to him. ainsley: we were all ears. newt gingrich joins us from the d.c. area. mr. speakers what do you make of the vice president saying, you know, in certain places people can't operate a zox machine. they don't have a xerox machine so they won't be able to vote. >> whole range came out o

there are proceeders in georgia, including the call he made soliciting election fraud. we saw in the mueller report, we saw an effort to say, obstruction of justice is not important. it's just a process. obstruction, it's not important. well, last week we heard trump lawyers say this is just fringe benefit stuff. nobody gets charged for fringe benefits, it's not important, and now it turns out we can see the indictment, and it's not just fringe benefits. this is 15 years of engaging in tax evasion. and giving them apartments and cars and benefits and they cheated on their taxes to avoid doing that. so if you're a business owner, you get how wrong that is. you don't get to that in your business. vp your house paid for and claim it as a tax deduction. at bottom, what the president's name sake company was doing was a pattern of fraud, having it cheating. and having it revealed if he is prosecuted, and the attorney general and the d.a. put on the evidence, that is a come uppance of some sort. >> peter baker, the other great writer in the two great writer house hold. you cov

this was after democrats and president biden himself criticized georgia voter laws. president biden went as far as calling it "jim crow on steroids." basically he was saying he would restrict voting access for people of color, why "the washington post" push back on that. they gave him four pinocchios for that comment, that's the next movement goes up to, but the damage was done. they gave into the pressure, and they game. folks in denver understand that atlanta folks are upset about it, but they're happy to have it out here. take a listen. >> i've got some friends down in atlanta, a lot of people were angry down there about it. i've got friends and coworkers who think the mlb shouldn't be getting their hands in the political sphere. >> and the rnc is not the only ones airing an ad tonight. senate republicans will also have their own ad airing during the game tonight. they will target democratic senator raphael warnock. they said he didn't stand up to this, and because of this atlanta and georgia lost over $100 million worth of business. what i can tell you is the fol

marjorie taylor greene is in georgia. look, i think these speaking tours and rallies, trying to get attention. marjorie taylor greene doesn't have committee assignments back in congress, gaetz is under federal prosecution. so they're doing rallies. i can just see them fundraising off of this. i think for them this is just going to feed into their narrative that the left is canceling them. unfortunately as we have seen with the fundraising reports, being extreme and being outrageous san effective fundraising tool. >> to be sure. we saw their supporters take to the streets after the cancel cancellations. is that why these cancellations are a political benefit to them, not just the fundraising numbers but raises their notoriety? >> in some ways makes them martyrers. you saw their supporters rallying in the streets. they have been on twitter talking about this. for them, it's no skin off their backs. >> liberals say orange county kind of pretty purple, historically conservative, and they cancelled on them, but maybe they want

on thursday, democratic congressman hank johnson of georgia was among ten demonstrators arrested at a voting rights protest on capitol hill. he and the others stood their ground as they called on the legislative branch to pass the for the people act. johnson's arrest was preceded by last week's arrest of the congressional black caucus chair joyce beatty who was part of a similar protest. he didn't hold back when temg my cleaning exactly what republicans are trying to do >> they are trying to kill us right now as far as our right our vote, kill our democracy. we need to have a democracy or we don't. and if everyone can't vote in the country, if some can't vote because of race, this is not a true democracy. >> preach, congressman. that's supposed to be the promise of america. true democracy means every one has equal rights and equal vote. -- voice and vote. until a right to vote doesn't depend on where you live or the color of your skin, we won't be living in a true democracy. and that is exactly why all americans need to care about this. all americans. the right to vote is right there

so what are the facts about the election in fulton county, georgia? a well, here's the official version. in may, the chairman of the faulty county board of commissioners, a man called rob pitts, excellent it was not necessary to look at thes, ballots, in fact it was ridiculous to even ask because there had already been 20 every comes in all the recounts reached b the same conclusion. here's what he said, and if it sounds familiar, that's because so many other people in authority have been saying pretty much the same thing. >> i mean, i'm really baffled about this. what dowh they want? we fed three counts already. the elections in fulton county, georgia, they were open, they were fair, and they were transparent. the votes have been certified, the elections have been certified, so it's over. this will be the fourth one andt i can guarantee you that the results will be -- of this one will be just like the results were for count 1, count 2 and count 3. no change. our elections are open, fair, and transparent. >> tucker: i can guarantee you. we already kno

strong republican leadership in georgia, the united states will win every one of them. without them, you won't. >> sean: governor, this is your last segment with us. what it means to you to be the conservative governor of texas. >> governor abbott: remember this texas like people like beto o'rourke. [boos] so what we have... what we have instead of texas is a battle for the soul of our economy. are we going to be capitalists or socialist? we have seen the socialist agenda with beto o'rourke, fidel castro and people like that. texas must prevail. we must keep texas capitalism. let me do this one last thing, capitalism. not socialism. more people lifted out of poverty than all the socialist program in the history of the world. [cheers and applause] >> sean: i will say this about texas. and it's so telling. if you take a u-haul from california to texas come about $2500. if you take it from texas back to california, it is about $300. you are doing u-haul a favor. i know texas is very inclusive, but if people come from california and new york to texas, i think it is fair to

stacey abrams delivered georgia. i mean, we've given them all of that and still mitch mcconnell is somehow calling the shots?! come on! i'm hoping that these guys in the senate, i'm hoping manchin realizes that if you don't do something now, you're going to regret nit 2022, 2024, and who knows for how long. so i personally -- you're right, maybe the inevitable is that in texas, that law is going to get passed. but i'm happy that they tried something different. they're trying to light it up. let's go. let's do it. let's get out there and win the fourth quarter. that's what i'm talking about right there. >> rena, i see maz is fired up, even though he's mixing his sports metaphors. i'll forgive you for that once. you went from boxing to baseball to football, and i think you were on your way to arhythmic gymnastics, if i hadn't stopped you. but i understand where you're going, that there's this push to do something. and i wonder if that is the issue, is that it's not so much about the parties at their edges or the senato

are going after georgia instead. they used the filibuster over 200 times during donald trump's presidency and they called the filibuster racist. they demand you wear a mask and to get vaccinated and you socially distance and you follow all the rules while allowing all the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into this country, just processing them without even testing most of them. a third of them when offered the vaccine turned it down. on this program, we are consistent. we condemn violent riots. what happened on january 6th, what happened last summer. whenever it happens, it must be condemned by people of goodwill -- it should be political. we spoke out against the brutal murder of george floyd and of course david dorn and horace lorenzo anderson jr. that said interview i had with his father. unfortunately democrats, their friends in the media, big tech media mob, they don't seem to care about truth, fairness, logic, science, justice. for them it's politics and power, that's all it seems to matter. here wit

this is happening because georgia went blue. republicans understand the numbers are not on their side going forward, nor in the present in those critical states, including texas, which is closer than they would have wanted. they are implementing a plan to restrict voters -- the votes of voters less likely to vote for them. it doesn't matter if you have the best message if your voters don't have access to the ballot box. >> this comes back to the question of using the power you have. this was the lesson of mcconnell and garland and amy coney audac norm. unless you can get manchin and sinema on board for basically majority rule in the senate, 50 votes, to wield the power you have, then you can't wield the power you have. >> maybe we should start lobbying exxonmobile to get them to lobby manchin and sinema. they seem to are more influence. >> can we hire the exxon lobbyist to lobby them? >> that's what the indivisble should do. >> if they believe giving d.c. statehood, getting rid of the filibuster and adding justices would be in t

even in states like georgia where joe biden just won an election, where they elected two senate democrats. there's no filibuster in the state senate. it's majority rule. but then if you want to protect voting rights at the national level, well, then it takes 50 votes -- 60 votes and those votes are just not there because republicans won't play ball. not only that, think about this craziness. the filibuster as we say often on the show, it's not some sacrosanct non-negotiable principle. it's changed over time. indeed, i covered it changing back in 2013. democrats got rid of it for most presidential nominations because republicans were using the filibuster to make it impossible to fill courts and executive office appointments. that was a big deal. republicans at the time said you'll regret it. and in some ways probably true. donald trump got to confirm a lot of judges. historic judge confirmation rate. but that's just what democracy looks like. that's the way the cookie crumbles. one thing democrats did leave in place back in 2013, right? they said we're getting rid of the filibuster for all

but in georgia, as an example, just 5.5% of georgia's $522 million intended to go to renters and landlords, because of backlog, and because of the documentation requirements for these renters to prove of their hardships here, just 5.5% of that $522 million has actually made it to renters and landlords and more than half of the states, nbc news has found, less than 10% of that federal funding has made it to renters to help because of the pandemic. which is at the very heart of the argument of those democratic lawmakers to extend that moratorium. this was a situation here that is a crisis that we should be expecting here in these days ahead. eviction notices are already on those doors of individuals here in just this last week. >> absolutely. when you think about, for example, that renter you were talking to whose rent went from $900 to $1,300, seemingly overnight, you can't afford an extra $400 a month, that's crazy, can't afford to move, that's even more expensive. what are you supposed to do? it's a very important issue and we're so glad you're covering it for us, vaughn hillyard, thank y

a 5-year-old boy in georgia died of covid. i know it is very, very rare to see this in a young child, but what do you tell parents who have kids under the age of 12 who can't get vaccinated yet? >> i think the american academy of pediatrics was right on by requiring masking in schools for the time being, particularly because some of the other prescriptions the cdc says for a safe and healthy school environment, like indoor ventilation are hard to do. you can't invest in the hvac updates that can caused 30,000 per room, stephanie. they just don't have the resources. so i think indoor masking for those 2 and above right now in the school age group makes a lot of sense, even if severe outcomes from covid are rarer. >> steph, take us to tokyo, the olympics. what are the chances the games could actually be canceled at the last minute? my heart is breaking for those athletes. >> reporter: well, the short answer, steph, is the chances are really low. but let me give you a little bit of context. the official that you talked about, the

more than 56 million americans are under heat alert from montana all the way to georgia. cbs' lonnie quinn is here with the forecast. hey there, lonnie. >> reporter: another summer day, another heat dome we're talkingr about. today the record heat anywhere from wyoming, south dakota, nebraska. look at rapid city. rapid city hit 106 degrees today. our latest heat dome is just more of the same.two-third temperatures will be in the 90s to 100s, feeling like 105 to 110 for a good chunk of the country. and it's just not tomorrow. i'm talking all the way through saturday, sunday, some areas all the way through tuesday, wednesday next week. it's another summer day, another heat dome. well, consider this: the fires that are burning out west, the air is so hot, as that rain-- we need rain on those fires. but the rain evaporates because of the heat the fires are generating before it can even get to the ground. so it's not as beneficial as we like to see. that's the very latest norah. let's go back to you. >> o'donnell: lonnie quinn, thank you so much. tonight, a 22-year-old georgia

, georgia's legislature biden won by multiple thousand votes, they can say we don't think it was legit and the state legislature votes. we're going to send electors up to congress to vote for trump, not biden. that's never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever been tried before. this is jim crow on steroids, what we're talking about. and so it takes -- go to your second point. i've been saying for a long, long time the abuse of the filibuster is pretty overwhelming. when i got to the united states senate at a time when we had guys like strom thurman, robert f. bird and a whole range of people who were very, very, very, very, very, very conservative on race to say the least, even then if you were to filibuster, you had to stand on the floor and hold the floor, and that's why strom i think set the record at 24 straight hours or something. don't hold me to the number but -- you know? so you had to take -- there were significantly fewer filibusters in those days. in the middle of the civil rights movement. >> let me talk to you about that. this is important for people who look like me. my gr

hank johnson of georgia. he says he's at least in favor of democrats getting rid of the legislative filibuster to counteract the court's decision on the arizona voting laws. >> john: it was interesting as you had liberals yesterday freaking out over that 2-6 decision, nor were they freaking out over the 8-1 decision on school free speech. so you have to pick and choose. it happens all the time. as politics. welcome to while washington. chinese president xi xing ping making some dangerous threats and warning other nations to stay out of china's way or things could get bloodied. that's after secretary of state mike pompeo says we should take that threat seriously. coming up, morgan ortega's as china really ramped up the rhetoric. >> sandra: plus as we all get dressed up in a red, white, and blue and had two holiday parties, the question is to wear a mask or not wearing a mask? for many that is the question that americans have after this busy holiday weekend. dr. marty mccurry is all micah academic marty may car

and i don't know about you guys, but here in georgia where i live, you can really see that. i mean, you really hear the stories of, oh, i know this person. i know this person. i know this person. to make matters even worse, the delta variant also seems to make you sicker. once you get it, it seems to make you sicker than previous st strains of coronavirus. people who get covid-19 are more likely to be hospitalized, more likely to be admit to the intensive care unit, more likely to die. i want to keep those words up there for a minute. if you're not sure yet if you should be vaccinated, those words should make you sure. you are more likely to die if you get the delta variant than the previous strains of coronavirus. getting vaccinated cuts the odds of you getting hospitalized or dying way, way down to a very, very, very small number. john? >> yeah. i think looking at the -- some of these graphics that we've seen from really what our public health officials at the federal level were looking at, it cuts it down to -- you have 25 times more likely to be in the hospital or to die

the answer is that it doesn't, same deal with the voter integrity laws in place like georgia and florida but biden sent out his untalented vice president to do her best. >> these laws make it harder for you to vote because they don't want you to come. your vote is your power. isa don't let anybody ever take your power from you. >> notice they never mention any specific aspect of these voter integrity laws they so vehemently oppose? but then again why facing convenient facts when you can make outlandish claims with impunity. >> and make sure the vote gets counted we will never have one man one woman one vote and vote for the candidate of our choice. >> laws that mandate the cleaning up of voter rolls and tend to increase transparency and ballot counting, just like the laws that require clear voter id, not racially biased in any way, they have no racial component whatsoever, they apply to everyone across the board. to say otherwise, which the sharpton charlatans are doing is alive. you want to know what this fear mongering and hyperbole was really all about? i will tell you. the democrats

tornados reported across the state, as well as parts of southern georgia. well now, the powerful storm is making its way towards the northeast. joining me, now, meteorologist, karen mcginnis. what are you seeing out there, karen? >> yes, this is very interesting, now, because elsa is now moving into high density. high population areas. along that i-95 corridor into the northeast. but what is interesting here is there is a lot of dry air intrusion. meaning, there is dry-edge air that's moved in across the southern and western edge. but this is moving so quickly, now. it's not poking along, like it was. moving at about 14 miles per hour. b but now, it's racing to the northeast at 25 miles an hour. it's position right now puts in a del mar peninsula so as it continues to move, now we are looking at areas from around philadelphia to new york city. eventually, towards boston and into down-east maine. and that's where we have got the highest risk of severe weather. . we could see two to four inches of rainfall, some isolated amounts, up to six inches of rainfall.

to colorado because of georgia passing the restrictive voting laws there, but this is a whole chicken and egg thing here, right? >> that's right. they've said over and over they don't want the politics in sports, but now they're participating in it. >> shut up and dribble but we'll run a campaign ad here. >> the message was very clear. >>> this morning, a series of brand new books, frankly we did win this election by michael bender and landslide by michael wolf, they shed new light on the final days of the trump administration. brian stelter has the details. >> i alone can fix it. >> reporter: from 2016 to 2020 -- >> frankly we did win this election. >> reporter: donald trump went from deceptive to down right dangerous. >> we won this election. and we won it by a landslide. >> reporter: and three new books using trump's words as titles underscore just how ugly his final days in office were. >> everybody knew that what was going on here was abnormal and dangerous and on top of everything else, ludicrous. >> reporter: in michael wolf's landslide, trump is portrayed as incompetent and al

those democrats had more meetings with the clintons and georgia's stacey abrams, and joining us now is adam serwer who is staff writer for "the atlantic" and the latest piece is "the democratic leaders are betraying the blackvoters." tell us why you wrote something that incendiary? >> well, you have to raise the expectation of that statement saying that you will do something with the federal power that you acquire to protect the rights of the constituents who are the target of legislation that is an attempt to either diminish their access to the ballot or diminish their political influence on the electoral process. if you are not willing to do that, then you are asking for the votes without giving them anything in return. >> i want to draw you out on something that you wrote in the "atlantic" piece, because you say this about the democratic vote sers. the targeted constituencies must treat every election cycle as if their fundamental rights are on the line, and to listen to the democrats target the rights to the franchise as the new jim crow and then watch the same leaders do knotting
