it's multifactorial for us. on one hand, the low amount of vaccinated people that we have in the state, and then adding to that, the tourism aspect of it, the decrease in mask wearing mandates across the businesses, and just overall increased exposure. that's what is driving the current surge. >> and is it going to get worse before it gets better? do you foresee the spike in hospitalizations continuing? you said something i had not heard from anybody before. you said if you weren't vaccinated, getting covid is inevitable. it should scare people. >> and so i'm not trying to scare people, it's just a matter of time, right? it's statistics. if you are in a vulnerable state and you have an increased rate of transmission of a highly infectious disease, chances are you will get infected at some time. now we have the ability to prevent these infections. even if you get a breakthrough case of covid, the vaccines prevent you from being hospitalized and prevent you from dying. it's a marked improvement from last year. it

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

we saw it all and nothing tells us how serious it is than the republican attempts to tell us what we saw wasn't correct, what we saw wasn't reality. why not make this as big as they can get as much public attention as they can? how about one or two sessions in prime time to get the largest audience given that we're in the middle of the summer that they can possibly get? what do you think the american people need to hear from this committee? >> i don't really think you need to hear anything. i think we're focusing on the wrong sense. we saw it all on 1/6. all i would do is play the footage. perhaps you can play the voice-overs from officer michael -- i'm sorry. i forget his last name. but the gentleman so articulate in telling his story in what it felt to defend his country that day. so i think that we have seen all that needs to be said, and there's very little testimony outside of that from those who were actually there that really matter. but you make an excellent point. this should be prime time television. unfortunately, it's competing with the olympics. but, i mean, america need

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

you have to use every level. some of that legislative, some of that will be oversight, some of that will be lawsuits, let's not forget, as insidious is all of this is, making it harder for people to vote. i think it's pretty clear there's a lot of republicans today not all but a lot who don't think black votes should count the same as white votes. and this is all about the acquisition and the retention of power, by any means necessary. they don't want to relinquish it again. there's a report in georgia today that state republican legislators want to take away election authority, from fulton county. making it harder to register, getting rid of early voting hours, is a portent, it's so anti-american, anti-democratic, but they want to change the rules, so at the end of the day congress has to act, where you're waving a white flag that says all this stuff is okay and we can just our organizer way, that's not where we are, this is the next essential threat. >> politicos been reporting how democrats have been doing the

still with us, don callaway and mark mckinnon. mark, it was just a month ago, 21 republicans voted not to honor the officer who is defended the capitol on january 6th with a congressional gold medal. what else does that tell us about where we are in this moment with this country? >> well, it tells me that the republican party's clawed its way to the bottom. and the notion that -- i mean, i think we saw clearly today why nancy pelosi chose not to have jim jordan and banks and a couple of republican members of the caucus on the committee, because they did today exactly what they would have done if they were on the committee, which is make ridiculous charges like speaker pelosi somehow had something to do with this and flip the deck. that's all they're interested in doing. they're not interested in investigating the investigation, they're interest in the reracing the insurrection. >> don, i want to play you some more from officer dunn in today's hearing. >> i told them to just leave the capitol, and in response they yelled, no, man,

he wanted us to carry on, literally, he wanted us to take a look at what history was teaching us. and he wanted us to take it and teach other people, and that them not forget, so that we could move on and do what was necessary and do it was right. that was just we've, us and that's what he wanted for us all. >> reading through this book, which, again, it's hard to describe to those who don't have it in their hands. there must be 30 to 40 mini subcontractors, all of them beginning with, as no one needs to tell you, with the word on. on courage, on justice, on character, on humility. is there a favorite, to you, having known him so well, a favorite takeaway lesson that he left us within this volume? >> no. no. the congressman was pure love. one and he loved everybody and everybody loved him. well and that's one made a joy and smile. he would spend time with young people, he's inspired by them, love is truly -- he would say that, love is truly the way. and that's exactly who he was. he was -- he was just a numb believable man. we we all have the -- we were fortunate to work for him,

of course he's gonna test us. of course he's gonna listen to that and not respond and tell there is a greater response from our side. and i think now is the moment. i think that president rightly drew some red lines and said you have to not do this. president putin said make my day, see if you can stop me. and now i think the administration has to respond more forcefully. >> the president met with mass shot top security officials today after reports of two more russian cyber attacks on sunday. a russian-based group claimed responsibility for what made be the largest ransomware attack on the united states in history. and there are reports that a republican national committee contractor was also targeted. the new york times reporting it was unclear whether the rnc attacks were related. but three weeks after he held his first meeting with putin, one in which he demanded that the russian leader rate it ransomware activities against the united states, and quote. back with us tonight is frank figliuzzi, former director

stoddard, cal butler, great thanks for starting us off tonight. coming up for us, the former u.s. attorney we have standing by. we'll talk about what these reported indictments could mean for the trump organization's future. then later, our friends eugene robinson and matthew dowd are with us. they'll talk about the, futile proud and, the brave. we're talking of course about the two house republicans willing to vote for that select committee to investigate the attempt to overturn a presidential election by course. all of it as the 11th hour is just getting underway on this wednesday night. ght. delicia: this is where all our recycling is sorted -- 1.2 million pounds every day, helping to make san francisco the greenest big city in america. but that's not all you'll find here. there are hundreds of good-paying jobs, with most new workers hired from bayview-hunter's point. we don't just work at recology, we own it, creating opportunity and a better planet. now, that's making a difference. the boss is back baby! the difference in try and triumph... is just a little umph! upsees, i ne

useful? what do you think? >> useful, but not enough. i don't think there could be one approach, just getting out a vote and making sure everybody knows how to register and how to comply with onerous and unnecessary new restrictions. that's necessary. that has to be done. and that can be really effective. these new laws have to be fought in court. the justice department needs to be paying attention. it can't just be marc elias and others who are filing lawsuits in public interest. we still do you have most or what's left of the voting rights act. we have a civil rights division in the justice department and the are fighting us tooth and nail. democrats ought to be fighting some way, in a posture to pass whatever congress can pass, to nullify or mute 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 is the true danger to democracy. the biggest danger to democracy. here it is, it's happening before ou

help us get some perspective here. what or who is animating, stoking these continued lies about 2020, the belief that somehow, somewhere, the results are still going to get overturned? is this still trump's ego? who is he listening to these days? help us understand where we are right now. >> well, chris, it's an important question and, you know, all of my reporting suggests that it's trump himself who is directing the continuation of this big lie throughout the republican party and, of course, throughout his orbit. he's not the only one responsible. he's having inputs of information from throughout his political circle. from his various allies, political allies, from conspiracyists. he's being shown articles or theories or commentary that he sees on a right wing cable shows or radio shows suggesting that not only was the election stolen, but that there's a hope with these, quote/unquote, recounts that are under way of somehow overturning the result and reinstating trump as president. it's not clear he actually believes
