Read as a flashingneon sign, his answers to Reporters Today are fascinating. For background, remember, those republican colleagues have been telling cnn he is against a January6th Commission because, at least in part, he is afraid he will have to testify in front of it, which he denies. Now, with that in mind, listen to him today with the Bill Senate Passage deeply in doubt. Do you think its a Conflict Of Interest for members to be voting on a commission they might have to potentially be witnesses for and provide information on . No, because who knows what theyre going do on the commission. So, no, i dont think so. Now, with without reading too much into it, he sounds like a man at ease, fully expecting the bill he opposed to go nowhere. On the other hand, he was certainly not at ease with the next question which proved to be a conversation ender. Members in any communication with any of the people who stormed Capitol Hill . Thank you for the question. Everybody, have a nice day. His answer was hard to hear but his discomfort with the question was pretty plain to see. But thank you for the question, he said. He wasnt even under oath. Now, that said, he can probably still breathe easy now that a number of key republicans, including some who voted to remove the former president intfrom office, are either expressing doubts about the bill now in front of them or are flatout opposing it. Senator richard burr, for one put out a statement saying the investigation is already being well handled by committees. He said, a pair of senate committees have already looked into the attack. But then, when pressed by cnns manu raju, he conceded that their joint report will mostly examine the response to the attack but not the events leading up to it. Now, other senators, including susan collins, have objected to wording that, they say, sets it apart from the bill establishing the 9 11 commission. Cnns pulled the language of both bills, and found that both were structured the exactsame way. Senator collins also raised concerns that the Commissions Work could spill over into an election year. Yet, she fully supported the 9 11 commission which held half a dozen televised hearings. Its almost as if she and other republicans are straining for something to justify the outcome that they want, which kind of sounds familiar. Remember, the arguments against the secondimpeachment hearings. Im a juror. I am going to keep an open mind as we go through this. But i do think that this Constitutionality Issue has to be addressed. It looks like we are going to be spending six, seven, eight, nine days glued to our chairs in the senate doing nothing but a stupidimpeachment trial. Talking about a standard of inciting violence and i dont think it meets that standard. This is a partisan crusade. It is revenge. Its vindictive. It can be inexcusable, and yet not be subject to conviction after a president left office. Its what they are closing their eyes to now. Including senator john thune, who said so out loud. Telling cnn he doesnt want to be what he calls relitigating the 2020 election. But keeping em honest, thats not what a commission is about. Its about an actual attack on democracy. About republicans and democrats and Police Officers and the american people. It is an event, unique, in our history. Senator thune, and all the other members of congress, who might vote against a thorough examination of it, they know that. Their arguments are largely, intellectually dishonest. And honestly, that only makes it worse. Joining us now, member of the senate judiciary committee, senator mazie hirono. Senator hirono, appreciate you being with us. What does it say this commission bill, this January 6th commission bill, seems to be basically dead on arrival in the senate . Its just as you say. Its their pursuit of Herd Immunity for what happened on January 6th. They are closing their eyes, ears, everything, to what happened. They are afraid to get to the bottom of it because they might actually be subpoenaed to testify on what they knew, what they did, what they you know, all all of that. So, they just dont want to get to the truth, because theyre afraid of it. Kevin mccarthy was, personally, lobbying your senaterepublican colleagues to oppose the commission, the morning after the former president released a statement calling on Mccarthy And Mcconnell to defeat the bill. I mean, think thats a coincidence . Not at all. They are, still, totally afraid of formerPresident Trump. Its just amazing. So they have handed over all this power, to trump, to continue to hold sway over them. Its more than pathetic. Its cowardly. And all i can say is that the palpable fear that they have of trump is making them do all kinds of things that i dont know how they look at themselves in the mirror. I mean, i understand kevin mccarthy, who, you know, wants the you know, power and he is up for Reelection Everytwo years. Mitch mcconnell. I mean, hes folded to the former president even though he criticized the former president. He is 79 years old. Not up for reelection until 2026. Why is he doing that . Maybe, hes afraid for some of his members who are running for reelection . And they want to run away from the truth of what happened on January 6th. So, a lot of his members rely on Mitch Mcconnell for the resources they need to run for reelection, i can tell you that. Theres a lot of dark money, behind these elections. And maybe, thats whats going on. But they will never admit it. The fact is that they are not doing this country any favors. They are certainly not doing democracy any favors. Theyre theyre not doing any favors for the capitol police, who bore the brunt of the violence that occurred on January 6th. So, all around, all they are doing is benefitting trump. Speaker pelosi has, strongly, suggested that shed approve a Specialselect Committee in The House to investigate what led to the innsurrection if the Commission Vote fails in the senate. Do you think thats the best Backup Plan . Its pretty clear, they would just paint it as a completelypartisan effort. Of course, they will. Because people who dont even want an independent commission are, definitely, going to paint a select committee doing the work as as, also, partisan. But that is where they are. And so, not only do they not want an independent commission. They were theyre prepared to criticize a select committee, which is the reason that Speaker Pelosi wanted an independent commission. So, why dont we just, all, face up to the fact that they totally do not want to face up to the truth of what happened on January 6th. And any responsibility that trump had because they are deathly afraid of trump and his base. President biden signed the Covid19 Hate crimes act into law, today. Addressing the rise in antiasian Hate Crimes. You introduced the bill. 62 of your republican colleagues in The House, one your senaterepublican colleague, josh hawley, voted against it. Do you know do you understand their their vote against it . When you have people, like Marjorie Taylor Smith and others of her ilk on The House side, you know, they what can i say . At least, on the senate side, Everyone Saw what we, all, saw. Which was all of these these depictions of aapicommunity people getting beaten up. Sometimes, with bystanders standing by, doing nothing. Marjorie taylor greene, by the way. Pardon me . You said Marjorie Taylor Smith. Its marjorie taylor greene, i believe. Oh, sorry. Its okay. Marjorie taylor greene. Thank you for that correction. But, you know, i dont spend a lot of time trying to figure out what The House members are doing. At least on the senate side. They did not turn away from the opportunity to stand with the Aapi Community. And they did so, except for one person we wont Talk About. Yeah. So that was really important for the Aapi Community that for once, the senate, and now The House, and the president , of course, stood with them from the very beginning as he saw the rise in Hate Crimes against aapis. That we are standing, firmly, in condemnation of these kinds of crimes. And in so doing so, we are also standing up for other marginalized and discriminatedagainst groups. So, today was a good day for those of us who, you know, stand with this community and want to do something about it. And im glad that the Attorney General was, also, there because he has also begun his own actions. Before this even passed. He told me that he is going to implement the provisions of this bill so that these kinds of crimes and incidents, which are very underreported, will be reported. Yeah. Senator hirono, i appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Aloha. Coming up next. Imagine being told by police that your Loved One died after crashing his car into a tree.

There is outrage, tonight, over newlyobtained video showing a Black Man being tased, kicked, and dragged by Louisiana State troopers after struggling with officers following a Traffic Stop that took place two years ago. A chase had been involved. The video shows a dramatically different outcome from the initialcrash report filed immediately after The Incident, which said only Ronald Greene was not wearing his seatbelt when the crash happened, that he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The Familys Attorneys have filed a wrongfuldeath lawsuit. And the Department Of Justice is among the agencies now investigating. Our Randi Kaye has more. Reporter Ronald Greene is under arrest, after taking police on a highspeed chase in monroe, louisiana. Watch what happens next. Okay. Okay. Okay. Reporter the officers tase greene, while he is, still, sitting in his car. He apologizes, and repeatedly tells officers hes scared, as they try to force him out of the vehicle. Get out of the damn car okay. Okay. Im scared. Im scared get out of the car. Officer, im scared im your brother. Im scared reporter the Familys Attorney says greene apologized in an attempt to surrender. Its not only what youre seeing but the sounds that go with it. You can hear him screaming and writhing in pain, as he says im your brother, please, stop. Im sorry. I was just scared. Reporter The Incident happened, two years ago, but this is newlyobtained Bodycam Video by the associated press. Which says the entire video is 46minutes long. Cnn has not reviewed the full video, so we do not know what happened before, or in between, the three clips the ap released. This Bodycam VideoShows Greene on the ground being handcuffed. Hes face down. Yet, once again, the officers tase him, punch him, even kick him. He is left on the ground, face down, moaning in pain, according to the associated press, for morethannine minutes. While, the officers use sanitizer wipes to get the blood off their hands and faces. The Apthe Ap says he was not any aid during the nine minutes he was on the ground. At one point, a Police Officer is seen stepping on greene. Then, roughly, Dragging Greene by the shackles on his ankles, as another officer watches. This Video Clip is silent, so its unclear whats being said, or why greene, who is handcuffed on his stomach, and in no position to resist, is being dragged. The Bodycam Footage tells a very different story, than how Louisiana State troopers, first, described The Incident in their 2019 report. Which said troopers tried to pull greene over for a traffic violation, which ended when greene crashed his car. Another Police Report said greene was taken into custody, after resisting arrest and a struggle with troopers. And that, he died on the way to the hospital. A wrongfuldeath suit, filed last year by greenes family, says police told his family he had been killed in an auto accident. And that, one officer said he was killed, immediately after hitting a tree. Authorities have refused to make the video public. These Postmortem Photos of greene released on the Naacp Baton RougeFacebook Page show the extent of the Injuries Greene suffered during The Incident. Abrasions on his skull, and bruising across his cheeks. Ronald greenes mother told cnn, in a statement, they murdered him. That her son didnt have a chance. I mean, it is incredibly disturbing that that that tape. And thats just a fraction of it. Then, that was leaked. What else are we learning about this case . Well, just tonight, anderson, we are getting some new information. We now know that a State Police official, telling my cnn, telling my colleague, nick valencia, this source has knowledge of The Incident. He said from the start, this was a criminal investigation, from that night, this source is saying. He said he points to the localnews coverage. He says he doesnt know where this narrative came from that Ronald Greene died from that crash, that night. He said this was a criminal investigation, from day one, according to this source. And just a couple of little bit of information, we are also learning about the officers who were involved. Two of those officers involved were reprimanded for their actions, and some part, really just for how they were using their Body Camera or not using their Body Camera. You saw, there was some of that video that was silent. One of the officers on administrative leave, not related to this case but to another incident. And another of the officers who You Saw in that video got a 50 50hour suspension. So thats just a couple of days off the job. Thats from the Louisiana State police. And a third officer died in a singlevehicle crash, last september, last year. So the Familys Attorney tonight very upset about this. Demanding that these officers be arrested, right away. And we can, also, tell you that the u. S. Department of justice, civilrights division, is investigating. Along with the fbi and the u. S. Attorneys office, anderson. Randi, appreciate it. Lets get expecperspective now charles ramsey, former top cop in washington and philadelphia. Also, former president of naacp. Chief ramsey, is there any justification for dragging a handcuffed suspect, face down, by the feet along concrete . I mean, what does does anything You Saw in that video make sense to you . No. No, it doesnt. And and theres nothing, in any manual, anywhere in the united states, that allows for dragging an individual, face down, by their ankles. You know, it clearly is a case of excessive force. I mean, between the tasing, kicking, beating. Having him in a prone position for that length of time. Even though no one was sitting on him, like in George Floyds case. That is, still, a position thats very difficult to breathe. And part of your training tells you, as soon as you get him cuffed, roll Em Over Or SitEm Up in order for them to be able to breathe. In fact, when mr. Greene tries to roll over, one of the troopers actually puts his foot on his lower back, and pushes him back down. So, this is a very troubling case. At twoyears old, theres no excuse for this to be held for two years. And certainly, the conflict in the reporting. I mean, clearly, if the reports are accurate, they were lying. I mean, thats a coverup. The the statements being made are not consistent with what the video is showing. And thats a problem, in and of itself. You know, we saw in the George Floyd case, the initialPolice Report that was put out. Which, you know, essentially, said mr. Floyd had a medical Incident And Police called the paramedics, as though they were the saviors, in that in that case. The Police Report, in this, is just its the same kind of thing. Its its you know, anybody looking at this would start to believe you cannot trust anyPolice Report. Or or, you know, initial reports that are put out by Police Departments. It, certainly, raises questions about how manyother incidents there are like this, that just never come to light . No, it does. And we know, from the files of the naacp, that we have been working cases like this from the very beginning. One of Thurgood Marshals earliest cases was of a black motorist who bumped a white woman and was never seen, again. We actually got a conviction of that officer. Got the local prosecutor to prosecute, back in the 1930s. What we know here is that we see something that looks a lot like murder, and it was covered up for two years. These officers are, likely, guilty of murder. And any officer who covered it up is an accessory, after the fact. We have to begin going after the nosnitching culture of the cops. And we have to deal with the ones who cover up crimes, like this, as the criminals they are, full stop. And then, we have to deal with the unions who enforce this culture of science. We can no longer call you a good officer if youre silent. Chief ramsey knows what i know. Weve worked on a lot of these cases together, over the years. He, in his role. And me, in mine. And what you know is this. 10 or so of the officers are bad. 10 or so have the courage to stand up. And like, 80 are silent and its the unions that enforce that silence and it has to stop. Chief ramsey, i mean, these officers these troopers they are literally wiping the blood off their hands. And i i guess, their uniforms or their faces, for minutes, while this man is lying down, moaning. Its its really just i mean, ive seen this, now, several times throughout the day. One wonders. This tape is 46minutes long. This is the leaked part is only a few minutes. Who knows what else is on this tape . Why havent authorities is there some is there no standard for releasing Bodycamera Footage . Is it just up to localPolice Departments to decide . Well, each jurisdiction is different. Sometimes, its up to the Police Department. Sometimes, its the courts that make the determination. But, you know, something like this. You just cannot keep it quiet. I go back to the Chicago Incident with laquon mcdonald, again, you had a situation where the report did not match what You Saw on the video. This was an incredible situation, policing in the united states finds itself in right now. And the only way out of it is through transparency. Is through dealing with this, head on. And dealing with the reality that weve got some people that should not be wearing a uniform, wearing a badge, or carrying a gun, period. And weve got to find a way to weed em out and its got to become easier to be able to fire an officer. You mentioned union. It is very difficult to get rid of an officer. But the leadership has to have the will to put this out, and make sure that they take care of it. Theres no reason for this to have been held for two years. And theres no reason for these reports. The public may not have seen this video. But i guarantee you, the bosses saw it. People within that organization saw that video. And the Alarm Bells should have gone off, right there. Yeah. I mean, ben, a State Official now unnamed is saying that Louisiana State police were investigating greene. The incident as a criminal matter, the night of his death. That was two years ago. I mean, if they were investigating this as a criminal matter. And according to Randi Kaye, some of the punishments were simply were more about them turning off the bodycam sound, than actually the the death of of mr. Greene, it seems. Look. We have cops running departments of cops and we have cops investigate the crimes of cops. We have civilians run the u. S. Department of defense for a reason. Its a check, on the power of the generals. Maybe, its time to have civilians run our publicsafety departments. Run our Police Departments. Would would that make a difference, do you think, ben . Oh, absolutely. Transparency and Civilian Oversight would make a huge difference. And the reality is that policing in our country is a statebystate, citybycity, countybycounty matter. And id say, the most courageous thing ive seen since the Chauvin Trial started was on day three of that trial, the mayor of ithaca, new york, passed, unanimously, through city council, a provision to turn his Police Department into a publicsafety department. Have It Run by civilians, and have half of the positions be ununiformed, unarmed social workers. And and its time for us to really just ask what do we need to be safe now . Because the inertia from Slave Patrols and, you know, Old Regiments of redcoats. Like, that inertia to today. That culture. I its we got to break the policy. Civilian oversight would go a long way. Appreciate your time. Yeah. I appreciate it. Thank you. Next, reporting you will want to see.

So through ancestry, i discovered my great Aunt Ruth signed up as a Nursing Cadet for World War ii. She was only 17. Bring your Family History to life like never before. Get started for free at ancestry. Com more, breaking news, now. It involves one of our own. Pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr. At its heart, the story striking revelations about the Justice Department and the prior administration ultimately concerns all of us. It involves our right to know what our government is up to, as well as our sharedvital interest in the government not abusing its power. Joining us with exclusive details is cnns jessica schneider. So what did you learn . Yeah. So we have learned that the Trump Administration secretly obtained these records from our pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr. We dont know, anderson, why they were obtained. They arent telling our justice sorry, our pentagon correspondent, why they were obtained. But we do know the doj Got Ahold of her phoneandemail records, from june 1st, 2017, to July 31st 2017. Those records show who she was corresponding with but not the contents of the conversations. And we do know that, during that time, Barbara Starr reported on u. S. Military options being prepared for President Trump on north korea. As well as, stories on syria and afghanistan. But, you know, since starrs records were secretly obtained, anderson. And all of the court proceedings surrounding the approval for the process are sealed. There is, still, a lot of mystery here, as to why the Justice Department was seeking her records. And what, exactly, this pertained to. We dont know if this was a Leak Investigation or someother investigation. Doj is just not saying. Anderson. And do we know the reason why these records were obtained from from barbara . Yeah, we dont know. This was, all, done in secret. And its interesting, because under the media guidelines here, the Attorney General, and at the time, it was Bill Barr, throughout all of 2020 when these records were received. He actually had to approve of pursuing these records. And then, the case had to be made, in court, that the reporters didnt have to be notified, because it could possibly jeopardize national security. Or jeopardize the investigation, itself. So, this was, all, done in secret. And we have no information, except for the fact that the records were obtained. Now, as for the formerAttorney General, Bill Barr, i have reached out to him for comment. He has not responded and the Justice Department here, the currentJustice Department, anderson, has made clear that this was all done under the Trump Administration. So its not known what evidence was offered by Department Of Justice to obtain these records . Thats right. All of this was done in court, under seal, and in secret. So presumably, they had to make a case as to why they needed these records. And as to why they didnt need to notify cnn or our pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr. But all of that is, still, under seal. We are not privy to it. We dont have access to it. Its all secret. Also, just, you know, just recently, revealed that three Washington Post reporters were told this month they had their records obtained during the Trump Administration. Right. So, this is what makes this even more sig nificant. This news coming out today about bar Barbara Starrs records. Three Washington Post reporters had their records obtain also from 2017 and this is significant because this is the second time in just a few weeks that we have learned that reporters from two organizations, cnn and the Washington Post, were targeted. And this these were two organizations, obviously, anderson, that the formerpresident Donald Trump Repe repeatedly railed against. And then, the doj got their records. Jessica schneider, appreciate it. Thanks. Cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, jennifer rogers. So, jennifer, ka ycan you walk s through, in laymans terms, the Doj Process for obtaining emails . As jessica said, we dont know the substance. It might be a Leak Investigation or something like it. Of course, the Department Of Justice can issue subpoenas. And for reporters, its a little bit of a different process. There are stricter procedures in place, because of the importance and centrality of reporters work to our democracy. Those procedures are, actually, strengthened in 2015. But what they have to do is they have to go to a special unit, within doj, for the first step of approval. And they have to go 30 days in advance of when they want the records. Then, the Attorney General has to, personally, sign off on this request. On the subpoena. And thats to make sure that this is really important. This is only supposed to be done, in extraordinary cases. Cases, involving things like national security. Not just your runofthemill, criminal matter. And then, as jessica said, if you want to refrain from notifying a reporter about this so that he or she could fight it in court, in advance. You have to get a Wholenother Set of approvals and reviews. So, there are strict procedures in place. The problem is theyre just regulations. They dont have the force of law. Theyre not enshrined in the constitution. And so, it really relies on the good faith of the people at doj including the Attorney General and unfortunately, Bill Barr under Trumps Department of justice didnt act in good faith a lot of the time. We cant say, for sure, whether this was one of those instances but there certainly is a pattern of behavior here that causes me to question whether this is a legitimate exercise of the subpoena power. The whole idea of federal authorities respecting freedom of the press, not intruding on Reporters Phone calls emails. Its as you said essentially an honor system. If someone high up wants to know who a reporter is talking to, at least on an unencrypted Communication Device or unencrypted app, they can get that information. They can and there are circumstances where thats okay. I mean, if you are really talking about an important nationalsecurity matter. Where you have someone very high up in the government leaking classified information. Thats critical to national security. I think, its okay for doj to issue a subpoena, like that. The problem is, you want to make sure that thats the situation were talking about. And so, you can put in place all the strict procedures you want. But without a law or without something in the constitution protecting these reporter privileges, you know, you are really relying on the good faith and thats where it can break down. They would only have access to to emails, to phone conversations. I mean, if it was using an encrypted signal. Or even something with like, whatsapp. Would they still have access to that . Well, in this case, the subpoena can only get you the the toll information. So it can tell you what numbers were called, how long the call was. Similarly, with emails, what email addresses were going back and forth. Not the content. To get content, you need a search warrant. Which means, of course, a whole Nother Level of review by a court. So that is an additionalsafety procedure in place. We are not just talking about content here. We are just talking about who they are talking to and for how long. Cnns awaiting an explanation from the Justice Department about exactly what this was all about. They didnt just go after Barbara Starrs records. They didnt just go after three Washington Post reporters records. Also tried to find who was behind Devin NunesParody Twitter Account. I mean, if Thats Part of their priorities, thats pretty stunning, to me. Yeah. That might be the most egregious thing of all, without to knowing the facts. Because you just cant really think about a reason thats important enough that would require that to happen. I mean, at least you can theorize, in the case of reporter records, some sort of Information Leak or something. But trying to mask a Parody Twitter AccountMaking Fun of Devin Nunes. You just cant see any legitimate Law Enforcement Need for that whatsoever. Just ahead. Ceasefire between Israel And Hamas.

Com Commitment Ceasefire between Israel And Hamas appears to have ended 11 days after Air Strooks and rocket fire, according to the latest figures from hamas run ministry of health. At least 232 people have died have the air strikes, 65 of them children. I am joined now by our senior international correspondent, ben wedeman, in jerusalem. And our chief White House correspondent, kaitlan collins, at the White House. So, ben, the ceasefire supposedly started. What are you seeing there . Does it look like its holding . It does look like its holding, for now. But in a few years, probably, it will come to an end. What were seeing is that, here, in jerusalem, we were Hearing Lots of fireworks being shot off. And cars honking their horns. In celebration. This is a palestinian part of town. Many palestinians feel that, in this round, despite the Highdeath Toll in gaza, that, somehow, hamas the palestinians won this round, anderson. And what is the feeling amongst not only officials but from from citizens in in in or israelis on the the likelihood of this agreement succeeding . I think, people believe that, for the time being, the ceasefire will hold. As we saw back, in 2009, 2012, and 2014. But the fact that when were just finishing the fourth war between Israel And Gaza since 2008. There isnt a lot of confidence that this will hold, for more than just a few years. Keep in mind that there was as far as israelis go, there was an Opinion Poll published on thursday. That said that as many as 73 of the israeli population felt that the operation should continue. Because, i think, there is a realization that, even though a ceasefire has been worked out. The fundamental problems, behind this series of wars between gaza and israel, have not been resolved. And will not be resolved, anderson. Kaitlan, how Big A role does the White House believe it played in getting this ceasefire announced . Well, i think that President Biden is feeling pretty good tonight about the tactic that he took here, which came under fire from a lot of process progressive members of his own party, who were saying he needed to be more critical of note netanyahu. He needed to come out and call for a ceasefire. As some other democratic leaders were, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer. And he refused to do that. He was never publicly critical of netanyahu. He never, explicitly, called for a ceasefire. The closest he got was during that Readout Yesterday when he said he wanted to see significant deescalation of the violence, anderson. And what we are hearing from White House officials is that, President Biden told aides over the last11 days or so, you know, netanyahu is someone i have known and worked with a long time. He saw how President Obama and netanyahu had a very icy relationship. I think he wanted to take a different approach than that. And they felt like, if they kept netanyahu closer and they were not publicly critical of israel. Didnt kind of back them into a corner. They could get the violence over, faster. And so, they are feeling pretty good about that tonight. But we should note that earlier when we saw President Biden, he did not answer our questions about whether or not what ben was just talking about this ceasefire is going to last. What did he say, when he spoke, briefly, after after it was announced . So, he definitely was supportive of israel. He talked about, of course, the Irondome System that they have been using in response to the rockets from hamas. And he was talking about what the u. S. s response to that is going to look like. Really, what the next steps are going to look like and this is what he said. The prime minister, also, shared with me his appreciation for the Irondome System. Which our nations developed together, and which has saved lives of countlessisraeli citizens, both, arab and jew. I assure him of my full support to replenish israels Irondome System, to ensure its defenses and security, in the future. I believe the palestinians and israelis, equally, deserve to live safely and securely. And to enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity, and democracy. My administration will continue our quiet and relentless Dipl Diplomacy toward that end. And i think, anderson, really, two things are obvious emerging from all of this. Which is, one, you know, this is not an issue that President Biden prioritized taking office. And now, it is at the Foefr Fro Forefront of issues that people are going to be paying attention to. Does this ceasefire last . What happens if the evictions start up and violence restarts . Thats going to be something they still have to deal with. It cannot be low on their Priority List but also it is going to be this rift among the democratic party. Where You Saw these progressive members of his Party Calling for a differentu. S. Stance toward israel and they did not get the condemnation that i think they would have gotten in years past. So i think it does change things going forward. We will have to see how much, anderson. Kaitlan collins, ben wedeman, thanks so much. Still to come the debate when americans need to get a covidbooster shot, even as Vaccine Hesitancy is still a real problem in the country. quite as often as i could have were delivering for the earth. By investing in more electric vehicles, reusable packaging, and carbon capture research. Making earth our priority. I thought id seen it all. [narrator] we miss being together, but you can still feel a strong sense of community i thought id seen it all. With Custom Gear from Custom Ink. Weve developed new tools to make it easy for you.

Thanks in large part to vaccinations new cases of covid are at an 11month low. They are expected to drop even further along with hospitalizations and deaths in the coming weeks, which is certainly fantastic news. Already dr. Anthony fauci, pfizer and others are discussing the possibility of needing a booster shot. Dr. Fauci told the Washington Post were preparing for the eventuality that we might need boosters. When that may be is unclear. I want to Talk About it with dr. Leana wen. Dr. Fauci said yesterday well need boosters when we start to see more breakthrough infections and the ceo of pfizer put that at 8 to 12 Months Afternoon your second shot. Whats your thoughts on when and why well need them . Well, i dont know at this point that we know when well need boosters. Thats because were still tracking those data. Right now we know that the vaccines work very well against the variants of concern here in the u. S. We also know immunity will last at least six months. We dont know exactly how long. I think tracking breakthrough infections, infections in fully vaccinated people will be really important but i also dont want for us to get ahead of the science here. Thats because while there are some people that will say if theres a booster i want to sign up tomorrow, we also know that one of the main reasons why people are hesitant to even get the vaccine actually has to do with the possibility of a booster. And so i dont want to accidentally deter people who are already vaccine hesitant by giving them premature information about needing a booster when we dont know exactly when that is just yet. So you think officials may be getting ahead of themselves when theres still so many people that havent gotten i mean you think it will deter people from even getting a first dose . There are some Focus Groups that have found for people who are vaccine hesitant, one of the main reasons that they cite is this idea that we may need to get a booster. They say that means that the pandemic will just keep on going, so whats the point of getting the first shot if i need to get another one six months or 12 months down the line. Now, i think thats difficult for some people to understand because some people are saying the moment i finding my immune may be waning, i want to get a booster. Recognizing some people may have that mentality, its important for us to not get ahead of the science. Do the science. But i think when we hear the Pfizer Ceo as an example speak, hes talking to his investors. He is talking to his stakeholders. We should keep that in mind thats the target audience. Youve been clear that the cdc went too far with the Mask Guidance and the ripples of that are being seen all over the country. Texas, iowa, utah are going to prohibit Mask Mandates in schools and businesses. Those states also have relatively low vaccination rates. Do you expect to see a corresponding uptick in cases there . I really hope not. I am hopeful that we now have a high enough rate of vaccination in the country that were not going to see that uptick, but im also very worried because in those particular areas where we dont have high vaccination rates, those are also areas that also dont have great public Health Infrastructure. So ideally what we would see is if there are new cases, were able to detect them. Were able to test for them, able to do Contact Tracing and then quarantine and isolate. If the public Health Infrastructure is not there, we may have new outbreaks and there may be new variants emerging with that. So i really hope that at this point people will do what they can, individuals who are not vaccinated yet should get vaccinated. Until then wear a mask. I also hope that businesses will differentiate between the essential businesses and nonessential businesses. Ones that are truly essential like pharmacies or grocery stores, ideally they should still keep Mask Mandates in place to protect the immunocompromised children and other people who are not yet vaccinated. The American Academy Of Pediatrics updated their guidance yesterday, saying even if vaccinated adults dont have to wear mask, unvaccinated children should still do so. Can you explain your view on when, where, and if children should wear masks and does Lifting Mask mandates put kids at greater risk . That last part is what im really worried about because there is this pervasive narrative out there, anderson, that somehow kids dont get covid19, which is just not true. We know that there are 3. 9 Million infections among children with covid19. 24 of the new cases are actually in children. Thousands of children have gotten this multisystem inflammatory syndrome and so children dont need to wear masks outdoors, but indoors if they are around other kids who are also unvaccinated they should be wearing masks, and that includes in schools. If there are unvaccinated adults and unvaccinated children, they should all be wearing masks around one another. Dr. Leana wen, appreciate it as always. Thank you.

An independent inquiry into an explosive Bbc Interview with the late Princess Diana back in 1995 found the broadcaster, quote, covered up the facts in how the reporter, Martin Bashir secured the interview in the first place. In the broadcast, she detailed the breakdown of her relationship with prince charles. Today Prince William described bashir as a Rogue Reporter and said the interview contributed to his mothers fear, and isolation in the years before her death. The broadcast was, as Prince William put it, a major contribution to making my Parents Relationship worse and has since hurt countless others. The inquiry found bashir had acted in a deceitful way and had faked documents in order to obtain the interview. The bbc said it had apologized in writing to both Prince William and his brother, harry. The news continues. Lets hand it over to chris for cuomo prime time. Im chris cuomo. Chris .
