the fact that we've all come together is what gives us hope, is what gives us strength and inspiration. it does for me every single day. >> well, thank you, mr. president. you recognize the severity of this tragedy from day one and you've been very supportive. the cooperation has been great. the local -- both the municipal and the county have been fantastic, and you guys have not only been supportive at the federal level but we've had no bureaucracy. >> one more thing, you know what's good about this, cooperating, let the nation know we've been cooperating. >> yes, sir. >> it's really important. it's really important. >> joining us white house reporter for bloomberg news who i have ranked as a top five, maybe top ten. good morning, thanks for getting up so early. the president really tried as you saw there to convey a sense of unity while in florida. we know he drew upon his deep personal experience with tragedy, how his whole life has been shaped with loss and spoke to the families but also tried to make that point, highlighting that there are things that are that much more important

so back with us tonight doctor learned we founder for the revises -- us on public health. he is also professor of pediatrics at the albert einstein college of medicine. doctor, to put it plainly, we have 100 million unvaccinated americans. that is a whole lot of potential damage ahead, in your view, would do the next six months look like and what's the level of worry once and for all four vaccinated people in the face of this delta variant? >> hi brian, yeah, well i'm will really concerned as the majority of my colleagues. the problem here is that us experts need to be humble about predicting the future there's a lot that we don't know about this delta strain. and a lot of this is going to unfortunately remains to be seen. the facts though, as you started talking about, there are 100 million potential americans who have not either had the natural disease or not been vaccinated, or perhaps not eligible for vaccination. and that is a big problem when we have a rapidly moving variant like this delta. the fact is the person who has dealt a variant as their infection has 1000 t

useful? what do you think? >> useful, but not enough. i don't think there can be just one approach, just getting out the vote, making sure everybody knows how to register and how to comply with onerous restrictions, that's necessary. that can be really effective. but these -- these new laws have to be fought in court. the justice department needs to be paying attention. it can't just be mark elias and others who are filing lawsuits in the public interest. but we still do have most or what's left of the voting rights act. we have a civil rights division in the justice department, and the justice department ought to be fighting this tooth and nail. and democrats ought to be finding some way in a hair-on-fire posture to pass whatever congress can pass to nullify or mute or -- some of the worst of these restrictions, especially the ones that as matthew said have to do with the ability of partisan, local officials, and state legislators to overthrow an election. that's the true danger to democracy, the biggest danger to democracy. and here it

talk to us about your reporting. do we call it interaction between the biden white house and fox news? do we call it outreach? what wording do you prefer? >> i would say tiptoeing or arm's length. the biden white house made, raised a lot of eyebrows last week when it went after social media companies for spreading disinformation around vaccines. what was notable is that they had not done something similar with fox news even though i think objectively we can say that some of the evening hosts and guests have been some of the chief purveyors of disinformation and fear mongering around vaccines. we wanted to explore why it was the white house was taking this more muted approach to fox. the answer is they determined there is very little upside to going after fox aggressively like that. you will turn off the very people you need to convince to take the vaccine. on top of that, they don't want to put people on these evening programs because they don't think necessarily they would get a fair shake. what is notable, brian, t

it is a long ride for us. it's not lost on me that we celebrated the 4th of july yesterday and we didn't actually celebrate. but last year we didn't actually celebrate like we do now. my commitment, our commitment, is that we're going to pray and we're going to get through this. i know we can do that and i know we will. i appreciate all of you, thank you. >> thank you mr. vice chair. the national weather service robert wayman. >>> good morning, we're tracking tropical storm elsa ensure cuba this morning. the center of the storm is forecasted to pass closer to the west part of floor, we will have intermittent showers and thunderstorms that will have some brief but gusty winds and they could still be quite strong across the area. as well as locally heavy rain and localized flooding possible. and even the possibility of one or two tornadoes.

they're showing us a movie. i'm talking to people in port-au-prince who told me these guys actually witnessed colombian nationals that moise had contacted, had hired to help him deal with the gang issue. so they were living in the country already. so i don't know clearly how they got mixed up in this, but they seem to be a very convenient foil and so they're being paraded. but there's no clear evidence that they were involved in anything. ask ourselves this question. how would a group of mercenaries be able to execute flawlessly, this execution of a president? okay. and then not have an exit strategy and be able to be caught so quickly and remain in the country? it doesn't make sense and we should not accept that explanation. >> so where do things stand now? because you bring up a really salient point as you break it all down. first of all, how did security forces respond to the attack? >> nothing. not one single shot was fired. nobody got injured except the president and his wife, nobody else. >> wait. we've he

the united states has used sanctions to good effect. not as an end in themselves but as a means to an end. an opportunity, a lever to press governments around the world to do the right thing. and in this case, protecting the rights of lgbtqu communities is the right thing. if we see a government that is systematically allowing discrimination or worse yet that is systematically endorsing discrimination, persecution, violence against this community, we will be prepared to act. >> from here, from the podium behind you, you regularly talk about instances where the lgbtqi plus community is being harmed in some way around the world. why is it important to you to do that? >> well, look, i recognize that every time i get mind that podium, i'm not speaking for myself. i'm not offering personal opinions. i'm speaking on behalf of the united states government. i'm speaking on behalf of the state department, president biden. i'm speaking on behalf of this administration. but i also recognize there is important symbolism and meaning in having someon

thank you, live us us there in austin, that breaking news that you were watching first here on msnbc. thank you, we'll stay on top of this developing story. we want to go to the pandemic. up 11% in just the last week. now with the delta variants spreading, pfizer is looking for plans to do have booster shot. i also want to bring in my guests, shaq, can you walk us through what is happening with the deal variant, the vaccine, and what it's like for you right now? >> yeah, let's talk about that vaccine news. pfizer said they're close to requesting from the federal government that emergency use vaccination. they say that if a third dose is given in six to 12 months after the initial inoculation it can provide additional production that is sweeping much of the country. then the cdc and the fda saying we're essentially not at that point yet. they're focusing on the vaccinations currently on the market. saying that now is the time for those unvaccinated to get their vaccine nap is the message being echoed. i have been here for the better part of the weekend and one doctor said this is the w

they are the best of all of us. with these developments last night, we sflou contacted, we have now confirmed 20 deaths. 188 people are accounted for128 accounted for. the number of accounted for people have increased and that is good news nap is one of the reasons that it has increased is that in some cases in which we originally received a report of a potentially missing person, that report was was only marked at one person, but when the detectives were able to reach and verify the safety of the american in question we discovered there are in fact several family members that could have been counted for, potentially in the building and now we can mark them as safe. this is very very good news nap is 188 people accounted for. our detectives are continually cop ducted an conducted an ongoing audit. the numbers are fluid and you can understand why. our engineers and our miami-dade fire team have continues to evaluate the site as they work to expand the area as quickly as possible as as it becomes safe to do so. we're

so go along with us this time. that's part of the messaging, but they're aware that they want to get credit for some of the achievements that white house officials felt didn't necessarily always happen in the obama administration. so that's why we saw the biden administration sending out a letter to people from the president telling them they would be getting the tax credits. and we saw the president do an event talking about them. he repeatedly brings them up and democrats will use that child tax care credit saying if you want the money to continue, vote for us because we want to extend that child care tax credit. it starts to all fit together. >> it does, indeed. shannon, sahill, and jim, thank you very much. the water off of the florida keys is cleaner than it has been in years because the pandemic stopped cruise ships from docking in the area. but now the local government limits have been overturned. we will go live off of the keys. >>> that is nasty. the haze and the smoke coming down across our area. >>> nast

nbc correspondent joins us now with more. julia, thanks for getting up really quickly on this breaking news. how does this compare to may? what is going on? >> it's up from may. up 10% and the number of families. it's up 25%. so what we're seeing here is a 21 huff year high. the last time the numbers were higher than this was in march of 2000. this is unusual because usually what you'll see is a down turn in immigration when the temperatures get really hot at the border. usually may is about the peak. and then when you talk about crossing the border as the temperatures surge above 100, there are fewer people especially children who are willing to make that journey. it shows that there are still many children desperate enough fleeing conditions of violence, poverty, a lot of that inflicted by the covid-19 pandemic. they want to risk their chances and come to the united states. the biden administration is considering ending the covid-19 restriction that's have been put in place that expelled many of the immigrants who are attem

offit described to us are mild. how has that played to you putting this mandate in place, and people are concerned that they are still getting sick or still pazpassing the virus in between each other, a mandate like that is still easier to put in place. >> yes, and at the end of the end, day with are entering the new normal because the delta variant is not the last variant we will see. and so this is not going anywhere any time soon, and so this is a new normal to learning to live with the virus, and experiencing what we are here in provincetown, the majority of people here in provincetown have incredibly mild or moderate symptoms, and no spike in hospitalizations or symptoms, so at the end of the day, the vaccine is working, but the delta variant is dangerous for those unvaccinated. >> thank you, alex morris. and thank you for being with us for this hour, and chuck will be back tomorrow. more "meet the press daily" tomorrow and news coverage with geoff bennett after this. . mm.

we have a team of reporters and analysts following the latest for us right now. in the meantime, we're learning this morning yet another major u.s. city is reversing course on indoor mask requirements as these covid cases surge. st. louis joining the growing list of cities reinstating mask requirements for residents. the biden administration and the cdc are also now considering changing mask guidelines for vaccinated americans as this delta variant drives up case counts. >> msnbc correspondent corey coffin and antonia hilton have the latest for us. you're up in hudson, new york, where this is sort of a parent's nightmare, an outbreak at a camp. >> yeah, there's outbreaks not only have we been reporting on outbreaks at camps around the country but there's a local one here that's happening here in hudson, new york i'll be talking about and of course the unvaccinated kind of plays into that because these kids under 12 cannot get the vaccine. so that's been a major issue. when it comes to that white house guidance white house saying the cdc is largely going to be lea

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'

put it all together for us and give us your matrix of concern right now. >> good evening elliott, good to see you. i guess what i would say, at the top line is if you're fully vaccinated with two doses of vaccine in the united states you are protected from the delta variant and hospitalizations. that's the -- two doses, that's key here. we can talk about those who received one dose later, like johnson & johnson, but that is the key piece. the discussion this morning for example about requiring the third dose is premature and we have seen doctor fauci and others pushback on that, appropriately so. with respect to school reopenings, the cdc got it right. this has to be a decision that local school districts make, based on local realities. however, i believe there will be some challenges here. you don't want local districts to enforce a mask mandate based on local realities. at which point if you're gonna mandate polio, measles, we should we will probably be mandating covid vaccines. i suspect it's going to happen in most parts of the country. lastly, i'll just say i really like the empha

as promised, joining us now, courtney kube. thank you for joining us this morning. we heard from the president yesterday and he said he doesn't think that the taliban taking over the country is inevitable. i'm wondering from your perspective and from your reporting, does the pentagon agree with that assessment? >> reporter: it depends on what you mean by the taliban taking over the country. so they're already taking over large parts of the country and they have been for some time now, but they're more focused on the rural areas. that's because they don't have the same strength and support they have as they do closer to the capital in kabul. the taliban has large swaths of land, large percentages of land around the country, but they don't have kabul. that's what people are really concerned about at the pentagon, whom i'm speaking to. if they continue to push toward kabul and take it over, the government would fall. but then the question is do they with really want to take over kabul, or is their real effort here to take over as much of the country as they possibly ca

with us it's family tradition. it's carrying on what my parents and grandparents have accomplished for so many years and it's not an option. we're resilient. >> reporter: if you look at the vaccination rates here in new jersey where five million people are fully vaccinated, that's more than half the state. you look at the rate of transmission of covid that still exists, it's at 1.0. about one sick person getting another sick. we have another one for you here. 150 million hot dogs will be consumed by americans across the country today. >> i mean, it's so nice the see so many people behind you. i reported from seaside heights last year. they had police on the beach keeping everybody socially distant. now i want pizza. art, thank you so much. we'll head over to new york city now where tonight's macy's fireworks spectacular will be back in its full glory. cory is live for us across the harbor. what kind of show can we expect to see tonight? >> reporter: yeah, people are excited to have the first major event here in the

she's been with us since... (gasps)... now. upgrade your phone. upgrade your network. >>> looking at what we have achieved since then and i believe where we're headed. before i took office people were making bold predictions about how it would turn out. you might remember some of the predictions. that if i became president we would "see depression, the likes of which we have never seen." it is true that the economy was sputtering before i got here, adding only 60,000 jobs a month and for three months before i was sworn in. now six months later we have changed that. we went from 60,000 a month to 60,000 every three days. more than three million new jobs all told. that is the fastest growth i'm told at this point in any administration's history. another prediction, and it is my favorite, i must add, is that if i got elected i bring the end to capitalism. i never understood that one, but we heard it an awful lot. six years in, experiencing the highest economic growth rate in nearly 40 years and we know, now, we knew that we needed to launch a war-tim

tell us why the u.s. economy or the economy gotten here. >> ari, i think we got here because there was kinds of a deliberate effort in the l late '70s and '80s, helping children may encourage children to work. there was a strong rhetorical push. we saw well-fair reform and cut backs of all kinds. ronald reagan says we fought a war on to havety and poverty. we did see property won. god forbid, it is in a night ware and we have suffered so many different ways that we are all in this together. it is just became the time the push that the congresswoman had been taking for his whole career. >> it is something not embraced by everyone. everyone needed that help and so many people got it. i hope we extended and it is a really wonderful day to see that headline, you know, gave me cheers honestly. >> congresswoman, i want to put up another chart here. we are people and we follow through things through stories. >> the data tells a broter story, some of the folks who are tourists, we may not hear from them as much o

help us under the booster. it is different from the original vaccine why might it be necessary if at all? >> it's the same booster which is good news. it's just essentially provides more of the same. think about it as a third part of the exact same thing that you already have one or two of if you had the pfizer or moderna vaccine presumably they would follow suit. the disconnect is explained this way. pfizer is looking at data fresh out of israel that suggests that immunity begins to wayne particularly in older people, whether that is 65 or 55, we're not sure the cutoff. and the sense is that other countries in the world are going to begin to recommend that they boost the seniors in the population at some point after 6 months of the vaccine. so i think they're getting ready. i think what the cdc and the fda said today is that's great. can you submit the information. but we will decide. we will review this independently. we'll look at the dat yachlt we'll look at the data you submit and all the other data and ma

i mean, these are the things that the american people have heard us promise and need us to deliver on because these are urgent crises so the reconciliation bill has to be moved at the same time as the bipartisan deal. that's always been the deal, that's what we've been saying for the past three months and the speaker said it again today so those two things have to move together and if they don't, then there's still no deal. i would say respectfully to the 20 senators great work and you comprise about 4% of the entire united states congress, so we still need to make sure that the house agrees on this and, you know, that is part of the process. >> given that you haven't seen the deal which in and of itself, i don't know if that's surprise or if that's just the way it works sometimes, but is there anything that would be a red line for you that would make you and perhaps others say we simply cannot get behind this bipartisan infrastructure deal? >> well, as you know, there are a lot of good things that we've heard but we don't know any details, and at the end of the day the big problem is

thanks for being with us today. we appreciate your reporting. >> joining me is a senior scholar at the bloomberg school of public health. dr. daljia, thank you for being with us. i want to start with this news from pfizer about the third possible booster shot of the vaccine. what do we know about the vaccine's efficacy after two doses, how long it lasts and what would this potential booster do? >> what we know so far is that our vaccines are holding up especially when it comes to what provides when it comes to disease and death. there's a different discussion for immunosuppressed populations, but for the general public the two-dose series do seem to be holding up. what we have to do is let time elapse and seem to me what the threshold would be is for fully vaccinated individuals getting breakthrough infections and landing them in a hospital and that's not happening at a high enough rate. i don't think that's something that we'll need a booster in the near-term. it's important to study them and it's important to have

up to tear us down. this girl is a hero for a lot of little black girls around the world that don't have a lot of people to actually look up to. you know what i'm saying? when you look at something like this over cannabis use and for me it's about an outdated rule and a rule that's just not consistent because i've never heard in my life, my 41 years of life as cannabis being a performance-enhancing drug. just the fact that in 2021 especially with all of these other professional leagues making their changes towards their policies towards cannabis, i feel the world should do the same thing, right? we realize with the testing and all of the different science that's come out around cannabis that cannabis is very beneficial for athletes and athletes should have access. >> al harrington, it's great to see you. thank you so much. we appreciate you taking the time. there's probably some sports you want to watch some now, maybe a little olympics. thank you. appreciate you. >>> that will do it for me this hour. i'

nbc's senior editor joins us. this is the beginning of the lie that is now continuing to rebush rate in this country, right, at rally after rally and right wing media and conservative media, and they detail this moment from eric trump who was berating staff members saying how could this be happening, as on election night more of the votes started coming in and former president trump did not have as firm of a lead as they thought like places in pennsylvania, and i have to say he does deny he was berating staff, and late votes came in because of nontraditional ways due to the pandemic. we look at the beginning of that big lie as it's being called to where we are now. >> yeah, and what stands out to me in the excerpt is the trump campaign manager laid that scenario out to donald trump on election night, and election day saying, look, there will be democratic areas and a lot of democratic votes that will be coming in late due to the mail-in ballots and a lot of the state laws that did not allow the counting of mail-in

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
