host: i want to get your reaction to the transportation secretary pete buttigieg, who is openly gay, and he spoke at a gay pride event talking about transgender issues. [video clip] >> and especially dangerous political strategy in some states right now where some politicians try to gain advantage by picking on transgender kids. some of the most vulnerable people in this country. there are consequences when politicians and other leaders responded to transgender people's search for equality and belonging by basically denying that someone can be transgender at all. telling america the transgender people do not exist amounts to telling very real transgender people that they should not exist. and if you are a person in a position of responsibility, you need to understand the weight of your words. you need to understand that if you go around signaling to people that transgender youth shouldn't exist, transgender youth will hear you, and some of them will believe you. so this is a matter of life and death. host: that from white house event, the transportation secretary. terry schilling, yo

since the epidemic pete in january 2021, we have seen large reductions in covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and debts. these trends are a testament to the success of our vaccination program and the effort of professionals across the health, business, and government sectors who have come together to respond. on the other hand, our progress across the country is not uniform. vaccine coverage varies by state and by county. communities where people remain unvaccinated our most vulnerable and most likely to experience increasing case counts. as of last week, nearly 50% of vaccine eligible population in this country is now fully vaccinated. 160 million people. still nearly two thirds of counties in the united states have vaccine covered less than 40%. in areas with vexing coverage low, cases are starting to decline again. we have averaged 239 deaths per day, an increase of 48% over the prior week. each death is tragic and more heartbreaking what we know the majority of these deaths could be prevented with a simple vaccine. areas with limited vexing coverage are allowing for the emergence and rap
