take us inside and give us a flavor of what was going on. >> really this was extraordinary. i have never experienced this sort of engagement by a public official with people who are directly affected. and it was an open ballroom tables groupings and after making introductory remarks about his own personal experience with death and grief, which were very, very moving, he moved on to speak individually, table by table until everyone had had a chance and was satisfied that they had truly connected with the president and the first lady. >> so, in other words, he and the first lady actually spoke with every family member who was there who was gathered. they could say a few words about their moms or their dads, their sons or daughters. >> he immediately asked. he wanted to understand his circumstances. he shared his own stories of how he had coped with loss and grief. i found it very comforting, and i know they did as well. >> and you had never experienced obviously anything like this before. >> no, sir. >> president coming to miami-dade and all of a sudden you have to deal with a

elizabeth cohen kicks us off. eager parents of kids 12 and under want to know when are the shots ready. >> yes. it hasn't been approved for them yet. so the pharmaceutical companies are doing clinical trials with children for various doses to make sure that it is safe and effective for them. let's take a look at what we're hearing from pfizer. they seem to be first out of the gate in this area. pfizer is telling us that for children ages 5 to 11, that pfizer might be asking the fda for emergency use authorization for children in this group in september. usually just based on history. it then takes several weeks for the fda to process the application. i can't imagine even if they apply september 1st, i can't imagine it would happen in october or november. as for younger children, pfizer says they could have data later in the fall, maybe as late as november for the little ones. it will be a while. it will not be for the start of school. but there's good reason for that. children are not just small adults. you have t

at the peak of us involvement over 100,000 us and nato troops passed through it. by friday — the troops were gone. according to afghan officials they left in the middle of the night — deserting this huge compound and passing control of security to afghan forces. that was on friday, then on tuesday, the us said 90% of troops were gone. so the afghan military is now in sole charge of security across the country. the task is enormous and the taliban is gaining ground at rapid pace. injust over 2 months the taliban has taken at least 150 out of a21 districts across afghanistan. and they're moving from rural areas into major cities. yesterday the taliban launched its most brazen attack since the us stepped up its withdrawal of troops — entering a key city in the northwest and taking government buildings. the assault continued today. 3s this was inside qala—e—naw city in badghis state today. thousands are reportedly fleeing their homes. and these are afghan troops inside the city. afghan's special forces say they have so far fended off the attack — however t

thank you for being with us. simone biles is the biggest athlete in the lolympics, the pressure is high. can you relate at all? >> a little bit. first of all, i would like to say congratulations actually to the team who won the silver and didn't lose from the gold, the silver. and the girls did amazing under the circumstances that we do not have -- nobody has thought about what happened today in tokyo. so, yeah, i can relate to that because i did the compete in two olympic games and i was young and the first one and it was easier actually in the first olympics because i was young and i didn't doubt myself. and i just went for it and i didn't are have too many ifs. four years later, i went back as the olympic champion and i think that the more medals you have when you go back, the heavier the backpack is. so, you kind of have to be prepared that you are going to be hit from all directions, and on everything that you do. so, i did make a major mistake in the moscow olympics. my second olympics. and at the time, i d

they tried to convert us. they tried to persuade us to let them in. my time compared to iraq, totally different. this is our own citizens, people who we swore an oath to protect but here they are attacking us with the same flag that they claim to represent. it was bad. >> actually what happened on january 6th according to the video we do have does not look a lot like a rock. it's not fulugea. >> this from someone who has never served a day in uniform, someone who will never know the kind of bravery it takes to put your life on the line for democracy. and how about i show you another piece of video? how about you take a look at what it was really like for the police who fought to stop the mob of rioters who stormed the capitol, the mob that hunted lawmakers and the vice president in the halls. and i want you to listen to this guy, this guy scoffing at mike fanone for being brave enough to talk about the trauma he's suffering nearly seven months after that horrible day. >> watch fanone cite the psychological trauma he endured as an excuse for ditching o

that was chilling for us to report out. he was obsessed with not so much whether americans were sick but whether the number on television screens that recorded how many people were sick would go up. so if it was at 14, he wanted to keep it at 14. he didn't care if the actual number was 5,000. when he knew people were sick on a cruise ship, he did not want them setting foot in the united states and he wanted to put them in cuba. he brought it up twice to aides until they got together and said we can never let it happen. it's a public relations catastrophe. at the same time, there were thousands of flights aliving with tens of thousands of people from all over the world. many of them were sick. >> coorsness is something you see in how people treat people. just a fact. include trump tried to joke about the virus for months, sometimes mocking people who were ill. john bolton he said hopefully covid takes out john. that's demented. >> yeah. i mean, like dame nan said, i think we found a number of surprising things in the reporti

us in texas. you there. everywhere we face this issue with an attack on our democracy. >> do you think republicans actually -- do you think they heard or listened to the president's speech, and if they did, did they do it with open ears? he denounced republican efforts to restrict voting rights, asked, have you no shame? similar question to before, but we know what the answer to that is -- how do you shame the shameless? >> you can't shame them. do i think the sound waves went into their ears? yeah. do i think their brain picked it up as anything they would respond to? no. they'll say biden is being dramatic. biden is overreacting. this is not the -- they'll go into their whole spin cycle of all of this stuff they say. their ears received it, their brains didn't. that's the problem we're in today. i was thinking as you were talking to chris, who i think is great, and that whole issue of crime. that's another whole issue that's being spun in a way that's nonfactual, and i think chris has a responsibility to s

and a classic example of the nypd using excessive force on black people. now, riding the subway costs $2.75. and i understand that a system that derives most of it revenue from everyday workers can't tolerate free riders. everyone has to pay their fair share, but keep in mind ellen weisselberg, the now former cfo of the trump organization stands accused of failing to pay not $2.75 but more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds. our tax system also can't tolerate free riders, yet, he was allowed to turn himself in and walked out of the courthouse of his own accord. no on slot of officers, certainly no taser. just the presumption of innocence, a guarantee of due process, an opportunity to be heard and spoken to like a human being or at least, treated like one. but i guess, that's just me giving my $2.75. >>> up next, the chair of the congressional black caucus arrested more than 50 texas democrats flee the state all fighting for voting rights. martin luther king, iii weighs in on that fight after this. ♪ thousands of women with metastati

and the columnist is with us. barry, thank you for joining us. i think that we are all surprised not just yesterday but also today to see simone biles pull out because of course she is so loved and so incredibly talented at what she does. but it is this expectation that perhaps is proving too much for her. >> absolutely. it was stunning, you're right, to sit there in the arena last night, simone biles was expected to lead the american team to another gold medal, that is what she had done five years ago in rio de janeiro, there was no reason despite all the hardships over the last year in particular after the delay of the olympics, after another year of training, after putting off retirement, to believe that she wouldn't go out and do what she always does which is just totally marvel you. instead, she was unable to pull off even a warm-up jump that was to her normal standard. she was clearly out of sorts. and i think there was some bravery to say, you know what, i'm going to do more harm than help here if i stay in this competition. and it is furt

misinformation is killing us. it's killing us. it's killing our democracy, litera literally killing us. the fact is people who refuse to be vaccinated and listen to the dies are propelling the spread of the virus. a virus that kills. misinformation is killing us. misinformation is killing us. just ask the surgeon general. >> millions of people don't have access to accurate information right now. because on social media platforms, we are seeing a rampant spread of misinformation and it's costing people lives. >> we know where a lot of misinformation is coming from. it's coming from some in the gop putting -- owning the libs ahead of lies. lies of their own supporters like the qanon congresswoman, and another member of congress calling vaccinators needle nazis. like the crowd cheering at a jamboree, sheering that the biden administration fell short of its goal, vaccinating 70% of adults by jeuly 4th. >> the government was hoping they could sucker 90% of the population into getting vaccinated. and it isn't happening. younger people -

letting us hug our loved ones again. letting us get out into the world. letting me see people i haven't seen in two years, right? so you can thank siecience for that. science. science. i had a discussion with my family about science. i said how did you get here? they said an airplane. i said that's sign. you believe in that, believe in the science. so there are people out there who want to talk advantage of people's questions, their he hesitation that are so determined to divide us they will spread every kind of misinformation and lie and put the lives of their own supporters at risk. and just the past week average covid cases are the case rates i should say were about three times higher in states that have fully vaccinated less than half their residents. that is a fact. so what you even say about this, what can you even say about this to your audience at this big conserv conservative jam cpac they fell short of vaccinating 7 0% of adults by july 6th. watch this. >> because clearly, they were hoping, the government was hoping that they could sort of sucke
