right now the concentration is continuing to use doctors, continuing to use health experts to try to dispel some of this and work with facebook and twitter on pulling things down and just on facebook, the statement that they gave saying that, you know, people are able to use the facebook tools to find a vaccine, that doesn't change the fact that historically misinformation lives on facebook quite a bit and is shared. you can look yourself and see how much it's shared. it's not something that you need a scientific degree to figure out. it happens often. it happened in all of our elections since 2016 and happening around the vaccine. both of those things can be true and the administration is going to have to figure out what they can do, working with the social media companies, and using the bully pulpit to move some of these things along. it will and has, they say, cost lives. >> eugene, you're so right. the facebook statement notably leaves out the number of people who have found their misinformation on the pages of facebook. dr. gupta, headline tonight from susan's publication, "usa

gary, good to have you with us. first off, what is the public reaction to this narrative being told by authorities about the assassination and is there trust that these details that are being provided are in fact accurate? >> thanks for having me. basically, this is yet another outrageous claim that we're getting from the haitian officials. sanon, i spoke to this morning with a doctor who knows him well. he describes him as basically a con artist to be kind. we checked his record. he owes hundreds of thousands of dollars. he has no money whatsoever. he was in haiti trying to hustle people and making claims that he has no ability to back up and so i take this really with so much skepticism. i understand that we rely on government information to do our job. i don't trust the information that the government is providing to us. they just don't add up. the cast of characters that they are parading around, accused of being the suspects is simply lack credibility. and we need more proof. these claims are outrageous. i don'

thank you so much for spending some time with us. and for our audience that's watching, you have done so much work polling and understanding the cuban american community and how they relate to what's going on in their formerly home country. this is, of course, something that plays very distinctly into u.s. politics. i'm curious, at first, how has the cuban american country shifted in terms of their views towards how american policy should treat cuba? >> well, kasie, one has to understand that prior to the events of this past weekend, there was a thought and really a debate as to whether the united states should engage in a more vociferous way or a marginal or incremental way on u.s./cuba policy. but these dramatic images that have taken place on the island were frankly something that people never thought was possible. seeing the rising up of the cuban population, risking life and limb and even acquiring, perhaps and putting their health at risk to say, we want an end to this regime. i think that has radically changed the debate. cert

where recreational use of marijuana is legal. and 17 more that allow medical use. that still leaves 15 states with full criminalization, and the opening to disproportionately targeted people of color for incarceration. so what can you heard? make your voice heard at the federal and state level. if you support decriminalization and record expungement, say so. your voice will likely have more impact locally. so if you live in a jurisdiction that uses marijuana as an excuse for overpolicing and mass impressonment, get involved even in states where marijuana is already legal, expressing your opinion can help destigmatize its use and discourage policies that would deny jobs to law abiding citizens who are otherwise qualified. to paraphrase the majority leader, it is long past time that we rise up together and address this injustice. new workouts. and screening for colon cancer. yep. the american cancer society recommends screening starting at age 45, instead of 50, since colon cancer is increasing in younger adults. i'm cologuard®. i'm convenient and find 92% of colon

they didn't have a terrible 2020 compared to us. but their 2021, terrible. 1.3 billion people on the continent of africa. they are 1% vaccinated right now. that feels just too big a challenge, right? what can we do about that? even if we can get over the hurdle of understanding that we need to do that. how? how on earth? what we're going to talk about here on this show tonight is it turns out there is a surprising good news can-do answer to that. a huge, largely unheralded, american bipartisan success that lurks in our very recent past that offers us the best understanding of what we can do next. it's here to help. that story's next. like you, my hands are everything to me. but i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture. and it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. thought surgery was my only option. turns out i was wrong. so when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. like you, my hands have a lot more to do. learn more at factsonhand.com today. ah! like

whether we can use an international health organization that the cubans let in and whether we can use the catholic church that is trusted, those are possibilities, but once again, the fundamental question is a regime that oppresses its people in ways we as americans can't fully understand, and its state security apparatus, and its control of the economy and its inability to allow people to have basic freedoms and if we can get the type of openings that all of us as citizens enjoying the united states and most of the free world and the cuban people will prosper and at the end of the day they're stifled by their own government. there are tons of opportunities, you know when at the height of tourism the cuban government still rationed the cuban people. when the obama administration opened up to cuba, the cuban government still rationed the cuban people. they still arrested journalists and political prisoners and independent analysts. so at the end of the day no matter if we continue just to believe that we can change the course of events in cuba by opening up jeans and coca-cola, that's

give us time, give us money. we'll get there. the new president comes in, began -- gani comes in after him. we're not going to get there. >> what's fascinating to me is what every president in theory dreads is a fall of saigon picture, helicopters leaving with the last u.s. troops and questions about who lost this country. who lost afghanistan. but the thing is the biden administration and joe biden is going into this with eyes wide open. he knows what pictures might likely emerge from afghanistan. so, too, did donald trump, by the way, who made the same decision that joe biden. he didn't execute the full withdrawal, but wanted the same thing. it just seems, you know, yes, there is opposition, but by some people not just security hawks, per se, but there is some political consensus that despite the pictures that may emerge, it's worth it. >> and that is the key part of the biden calculation. in the sense that the democratic base is anti-war. the trump base is anti-let's not have the united states policing the world. the president

we huddled up and assessed threats surrounding us. one man tried and failed to build a rapport with me, shouting "are you my brother"? the other took a different tack and said "you will die on your knees." >> i told them to just leave the capitol. in response they yelled "no, man, this is our house, president trump invited us here, we're here to stop the steal, joe biden is not the president, nobody voted for joe biden." i'm a law enforcement officer and i do my best to keep politics out of my job. but in this circumstance i responded, "well, i voted for joe biden. does my vote not count"? that prompted a torrent of racial epithets. one woman in a pink maga shirt yelled "you hear that, guys? this nigger voted for joe biden." then the crowd joined around screaming, boo, [ bleep ] nigger. no one had ever, ever called me a nigger while wearing the uniform of a capitol police officer. in the days following the attempted insurrection, other black officers shared with me their own stories of racial abuse on january 6th. one officer told me

so that may tell us more, but at this point. it's unusual to have the fbi come out so early, downplay and say, no, this is not related to that. >> even the defense counsel for some of the suspects in court was suggesting that this was not what it was and will use it as part of the defense. >> jim, so drill down on this. when we're talking about what they seized, you're talking about 1,000 rounds of ammunition, of course, andrew making the point that the charges here are about guns and drugs, and the fbi sapg, no, no, no, in the not relateding to any events or stadiums in and around the vicinity of the hotel. >> so what do you make of all that we know so far? >> i think denver p.d. did a great job. near absolutely right, yasmin, to look at it as a possible motive when you have all the circumstances denver p.d. conducted themselves absolutely a-plus. >> that doesn't mean it was the motive. you don't get a lot of people -- it's hard to get a crowd of people into your delusion for mass murder. hey, let's go kill everyone. people don

just tell us how this all happened. >> well, blk reached out to us and, you know, they wanted us to remix "back that thang up." they thought it was a good idea. being somebody that -- being one of the guys that have been vaccinated, like i said, it's a family decision. i felt like it was a great way to put awareness out there for, especially for people like me and people that look like me. >> and, look, we know, juvenile, that when it comes to dating apps, some people want to know the person that they're going on a date with is vaccinated. they actually consider that a positive. they want that protection as they might, you know, get to know someone better. but let's talk about the creative process lhere because your lyrics, girl, you can be queen after quarantine. dating life, you need to vax that thing up. tell us how you went through this and the writing of this remix. >> well, blk had their own ideas that they came up with, and i just -- i wanted to be more like the original song. so i tweaked it a little bit, put some of my ideas in it, but i really wanted it to make sense. manny fres

what can you tell us? >> that's exactly right, ryan, i have been talking to a couple senator biden administration officials. i can tell you the white house is incredibly frustrated and they are, frankly, concerned that the media has been too focused on these break-through infections. this cases when someone is fully immunized against covid and managed to contract the disease. their worry is that by focusing on the rare threats to vaccinated americans that it will deter people from wants to go out and seek a vaccine. you know, if you watch the coverage over the past week, it might have presented a message to people that said, you know, vaccinated americans are still very likely to get the disease and spread it to others. obviously, that's not true. they're much less likely to get the disease and spread it to others. that might have been the message that people took away from some of the coverage. so white house is concerned about the, actually reached out to news organizations, asked them to dial back the c

thanks for joining us. i want to start with you, brendan, play sound of congresswoman dingell's response to the committee. she spoke with ali velshi earlier. >> i was with republicans. actually, i was on the floor when they were helping to bar the doors and put benches and everybody was scared that day when it was happening. quite frankly, those of us that were on the floor and then in an undisclosed location couldn't even see what was happening outside the capitol. they were as scared as we were. it is like they've got amnesia. this was one of the worst days in our country's history. >> i think some folks think it might be amnesia, however, amnesia is not a choice. a lot of these folks are making the choice to think this way about january 6th post insurrection. how do you think it will hurt republicans in the long run? >> obviously we can talk about right or wrong. i mean obviously, you know, if you were -- if you were in the building that day, you were a target. you would think that you would want to get

science has allowed us to save lives. it's what's the underpinning of good med syringes and when we have good scientific data that tells us how to prevent covid, whether it's information about vaccinations for adults or adolescents it's essential that we get this information to people. blocking that information, attacking the public health officials who are trying to bring that life saving information to adolescents and parents this is not in line with saving lives. it's counterproductive, and it's ultimately a disservice to people who depend on all of us as health professionals to get them the right information so they can make decisions about things like vaccines. >> so i am worried. i do think what has happened is many parts of this pandemic have become, unfortunately, controversial and braintree split sized. we've got to get away from the politics of it. we've got to focus back on getting people evidence-based scientific information so they can protect themselves and their families. >> a lot of ignorant demagogues out

it and feel good using it. the same with our mail ballot voting. we have now over four elections, way more than before i came on sent out mail ballot applications just so they don't have to print it themselves, they are used often with seniors and folks with disabilities. those options are being severely stripped down. we are seeing things if a voter tries to report a poll watcher for intimidating them, bullying them, picking on them, that that won't count. so voters reporting their own issues won't count when trying to correct poll watchers for bad actions. so time and time again, what i want to reiterate is the voting options that people love and adore and use safely and securely in harris county are being stripped away because of i guess conspiracy theories that our leadership would prefer to trust and hear over election experts, like myself. >> help people understand and some of your fellow texans understand why those provisionings are sacred in your view to keep, such as the drive-through voting. what is i

here is the deal if incentives help us beat this virus, i believe we should use them. we all benefit if we can get more people vaccinated. it's time to impose requirements on key groups to make sure they're vaccinated and, excuse me, just this week, we took an important step to protect our veterans. like many systems are doing the department of veterans affairs will now require covid-19 vaccines for doctors and nurses and other health care workers who provide medical care for our veterans. we must do everything possible to protect our veterans from getting covid when they come to get medical care they so richly earned serving their country. we owe them. next, since many vaccinations are required for active duty military today, i'm asking the defense department to look into how and when they will add covid-19 to the list of vaccinations our armed forces must get. our men and women in uniform who protect this country from grave threats should be protected as much as possible from getting covid-19. i think this is particularly important because our troops serve in places

it put us on the map literally, and that's when people finally checked us out. >> programming chief of one of the networks used to say to me about shows like "hill street" and "st. elsewhere," what the american people want is a cheeseburger. what you are trying to give them is a french delicacy. and he said, your job is to keep shoving it down their throat until after a while, they'll say, that doesn't taste bad. and maybe they'll even order it themselves when they go to the restaurant. >> nice for you to join us. >> the success of "hill street blues" is a critical phenomenon. it influenced everything that came after. then you saw shows like "st. elsewhere." >> you know what people call this? not st. eligis. st. elsewhere. a place you wouldn't want to send your mother-in-law. >> when it first came on, it was promoted as "hill street" in a hospital. >> you gave your patients the wrong antibiotics. you don't know what medications they're on. you write the worst progress notes. you're pathetic. pathetic! >> bill? >> what? >> dr. mora needs you right away. >> i'm sorry. >> "st. elsewhere"

it tells us what? >> t -- well, it tells us they felt the need given of all the weeks of the back to back news cycles around vice president harris, that they felt the need to clamp down on this. to say this isn't what's happening and they wanted to defend her. you saw this rallying around her today in axios, the rebuke of the politico reporting that we had saying there is turmoil in that office. this also carries over from the campaign. she had similar issues during her campaign with staff. and so now you also saw the president today bring her up to the podium to show look, we are one united front, and that he supports her. >> you mentioned a history. let's show the recent headlines. politico not a healthy environment. fingers point at harris. new york post, she's number two. report claims the kamala harris feels. let's go back in time. you're right. this is november 2019. no discipline, no plan no strategy. kamala harris campaign is in meltdown. again, some of this is overblown in washington. some of

cnn is on the story for us. natasha, give us the latest. >> reporter: wolf, the atlanta mayor issued an executive order yesterday requiring masks and face coverings in all indoor public spaces. that includes private businesses. a press release from her office says this is response to an uptick in covid cases. the impact of the delta variant and new cdc guidance. the city of atlanta falls in both fulton and cobb counties. this follows the savannah mayor's emergency order on monday, also requiring masks indoors. mayor van johnson said, yes, effectively this punishes the minority of people unvaccinated. but georgia governor brian kemp tweeted yesterday there would not be any lockdown or statewide mask mandate. georgia's seven-day rolling average of new cases is at its highest level since early march. >> thank you very much. let's get some more on today's coronavirus developments. i want to bring in the dean of brown university. as you heard, president biden just told americans that if you are in an area with high l

if you want us to believe something, give us the backing at the moment you want us to believe it. now we have it. it cost themselves some bruising, though, and created some opportunities, i'll talk about those in a second. but now we have the data. according to the new cdc data, if you are vaccinated, you are 25 times less likely to die. shouldn't that be the end of this consideration, assuming that you're not immune compromised and you talk to your doctor? reduce the risk of hospitalization, 25 times. less likely to be hospitalized even by the variant. and an eightfold reduction in the risk of infection. that squares with the hope, because the vaccine is not perfect, obviously nothing is, and it was never supposed to be this immunity bubble people on the right tell you it was said to be. it's not. you can get sick. you likely won't get very sick. and you should not die. that's what the vaccine is about. now, look. we need that protection more than ever, because delta, we now know, spreads faster than the common cold. faster than the seasonal flu. while the vaccinated aren't getti

we must have legislation, we must have the president use his voice, use his influence, use his power. and use what he clearly understands about this moment and that was one the encouraging things about this conversation is that the president understands us to be in a moment of peril in terms of our democracy. >> reporter: so that meeting really came as there is an absence of a national strategy coming from the white house. the leaders said that the conversation was candid and it lasted for nearly two hours with them kind of pushing the white house to do more. and they say that the president responded and said that he was committed to doing so. so the question now coming out of this, what will be that national strategy moving forward especially as the white house as you said is facing attempts by gop legislators to pass more restrictive voting laws and also because of the recent decision by the supreme court to limit the ability for minorities to claim that laws are discriminatory under the voting rights act at the ballot box. so the question is what happens next. and it is a question
