Confirmed cases of covid and america struggles under a new surge, what is next? will delta require masks and even lockdowns again? and will america ever reach herd immunity? then american conservatives say they love the flag, limited government and hungry. We ll explore why victor orwell seems headed for demigod status. Is this the rise of a new global movement? we ll tackle that, plus lebanon, iran and more, with a great panel. Finally the world s nations come together every few years for the olympics. Why do they seem unable to come together to vaccinate the world s people? but first, here s my take. Tensions between the united states and china have risen substantially. The trump tariffs remain firmly in place. Washington s searching for new ways to limit the spread of chinese technology companies while giving funds to american firms. China, for its part, is trying to curtail its vulnerability to america s long reach. One might imagine that trade in goods between the two countries ha
Good evening. We begin, tonight, with covid and growing evidence the country is facing some hard weeks, ahead. At the same time, thankfully, there are signs pointing in the opposite direction. But not enough, at least not yet, to change the course that we re on. So at the end of another good news bad news day and the beginning of what looks to be another good news/bad news week, there is a lot to get to. Here is the chief medical officer for our lady of the lake medical center in baton rouge, in louisiana, where they have run out of beds in the intensivecare unit, and 23 patients are waiting in the er. There are no more beds left. Those 23 patients are a glimpse of what we have been doing, for the last two weeks, while we have been trying to get everybody vaccinated. And it s not helping, enough, because it s not happening fast enough. And when you come inside our walls, it is quite obvious to you that these are the darkest days of this pandemic. The darkest days of the pandemic there.
Medal she s ever won before. Thank you for being here. We have a lot to get to this hour. But at this very moment, we re waiting for what is being described as a major announcement from new york attorney general letitia james. You see the live room. The details on what they will announce very limited. We re going to bring the news to you when it begins. We re also keeping a close eye on the white house. Where in a few hours president biden will be laying out where the country stands right now in the fight against covid. It cop comes at a critical moment. With a stubborn resistance to get a shot by some still but also a moment of new hope. The white house met the goal of 70% of eligible adults vaccinated with one dose. Although it is a bench mark that they met one month later than they hoped. But where the now hope comes in is the number of people getting shots in arms is on the rise again. Particularly in states getting hit the hardest by the delta variant. Here is how one nurse in ala
Mandatory vaccine for millions of workers and unions are pushing back. I m bill hemmer, good morning. Good morning to you. If you got your stack of stuff and i ve got mine. Dana: i have a stack of stuff, i have thoughts and opinions. Bill: if you have any theories? dana: i haven t even told you at the show is, america s newsroom. Are you ready for this? bill: ready. Dana: new federal guidance urging americans to wear masks and doors prompting no end of criticism and confusion. In the report claims the cdc partially based that decision on a controversial study that was rejected by a peer review. Bill: it s a figure that one out. We will check and in a moment, william la jeunesse is live in l. A. Today. Good morning to you as would begin. Right or wrong or vaccinated or not, the mouse is coming back but nationwide this will be confusing. Some states and employers are in and others are not. If you will see that patchwork of rules for which biden support is often ridiculed president trump
Capitol physician, official mandate from him. I have nothing to say about that. Except we honor it. Leader mccarthy says it s against the such. He s such a moron. Why did the house speaker speak out? because house republicans are playing down covid as it makes a comeback across the country. As far as the former president goes, he has so far failed to sabotage a bipartisan infrastructure plan that just cleared a major hurdle in congress. Is trump losing his grip on the gop? good morning, and welcome to morning joe, it s thursday, july 29th, it s good to have you all on board with us. Senators celebrated with us yesterday after finally coming to an agreement on a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. The break through came after weeks of disagreements over sticking points such as public transit, how to fund it and all of that.
