A thin veil of clouds out there, but nothing that i think is going to stop everything. 71 degrees, this doesnt have to take off at a certain time. Its not trying to catch up with the space station, its going to go up and come down. We could delay it if we have to. Haze, fog, Smoke And Sky in the northeast, heavy rainfall in the southeast, and still, that monsoonal moisture in the desert southwest. New day continues right now. Thats where i do the robot. With that music, im not going to Do It. Ill spare you, welcome to our viewers in the United States, and Around The World, its tuesday, july 20th. And its All Systems Go for Jeff Bezos as they prepare for their 11 Minute Journey to the edge of space and back. The new rocket was positioned on the Launch Pad overnight, and its now two hours and counting until Lift Off from west texas. Bezos will be joined by his Brother And 18yearold from the netherlands and 82yearold female aviation pioneer, Wally Funk from texas. His rocket will be launched from Blue Origins facilities at a remote location near van horne, texas. Which is about two Hours Southeast of el paso. The mission will eventually pave the way for private Space Tourism. Lets go live to Launch Site one, and bring in cnns kristen fisher. Reporter good morning, john, the crew should be arriving at Launch Site one any minute now. The rocket is on the Launch Pad. The weather is looking good. As of now, all systems are go for launch. This is a moment that Blue Origin has been building towards for 21 years. Its a moment that Jeff Bezos has been dreaming about since he was a kid, and now he is less than two hours away from riding into space on a rocket that he funded and helped build. On board with him are going to be his brother, mark, 82yearold Wally Funk who trained to be an Astronaut Way back in the 1960s but never got to fly because shes a woman, and so now she is finally going to get her chance and also on board that 18yearold, oliver daman, Blue Origins first paying customer, but actually his father paid for the trip because he just graduated from high school. Those four have been here in west Texas Training for the last two days, and they are going to be riding on the new Shepard Sub orbital rocket system, a totally autonomous system. There is no pilot. These astronauts can sit back and relax. The rocket is going to Lift Off a few minutes into flight, the booster and the capsule will separate. The astronauts will get to experience a few minutes of weightlessness, and then the capsule will descend with the help of three big parachutes before landing in the desert and the rocket is also going to land too. We get to see a Rocket Launch and a rocket landing. A huge Development And Change in human Space Flight, and Blue Origin was really at the forefront of pioneering these sub orbital reusable rockets. They were the first to do this, and the reason this is so important is because it makes Space Flight more affordable, and accessible. And so yes, don, today is of course about Space Tourism but its also about achieving blue o Origins Goal of building a Cargo Route to space. Moving heavy industry into space to protect the planet. Its still a very long way away. Blue origin believes that Todays Launch is a step in that direction, john. The science behind this is fascinating. Kristin fisher, thank you, joining Anderson Cooper later this hour, anchoring special coverage. Nearly 1,400 infections just three days before the olympics begin. The number of cases linked to the Summer Games has risen to 71 positive cases among american athletes, that include cara aker, katie lou samuelson, a member of the 3 by 3 womens basketball team, and neither of the women is going to get to compete. Incredibly disappointing, especially since both were fully vaccinated organizers say it is still unclear how many people will be participating in fridays Opening Ceremony. In the mean Tile Dr. Jill biden is planning to travel to tokyo for the opening event. The last time a u. S. First lady attended the Opening Ceremony was Michelle Obama in 2012. We are going live to tokyo with dr. Sanjay gupta in a moment. First, Erica Hill has a look at the current state of the pandemic as cases rise here in the u. S. Reporter the Delta Variant spreading across the United States, fueling a spike in new coronavirus cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. And with less than half the country fully vaccinated, dr. Anthony fauci warning, if we dont get a significant proportion of these people vaccinated youre going to see a smoldering of the outbreak for a considerable period of time. California seeing the Highst Number of cases since the winter surge. This is a pandemic, overwhelmingly, and disproportionately of those who have not been vaccinated. Half the States Population is under Mask Requirements or recommendations, including Los Angeles County where public health officials say they are seeing a significant increase in hospitalizations. In florida, universal of Florida Health Jacksonville Hospital reporting more coronavirus cases now than in january. My greatest fear is that patients continue to pour in and were unable to give them the care that they need because we dont have staff or resources. With back to school weeks away, the American Academy Of Pediatrics recommending all students 2 and older and Staff Wear masks in the classroom regardless of vaccination. The only way to make sure those kids are protected for mow is unfortunately to insist on universal masking. Reporter since no Coronavirus Vaccine is authorized for kids under 12, the Surgeon General sending this message to adults who still havent gotten the shot. Even if you dont want to Do It for yourself, consider getting vaccinated to protect the children in your community. They are depending on us. Reporter meantime, a federal judge ruling Indiana University can require students to get the Covid19 Vaccine to return to campus. The sooner that everyone gets vaccinated, the sooner we can go back to normal. Reporter the Delta Variant sending younger people to hospitals. Doctors in several states, experiencing a surge say there is one thing most patients have in common. We are seeing this surge because of its almost a pandemic of the unvaccinated is whatre seeing. Reporter at the white House President Joe Biden urging all americans to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The Data Couldnt be clearer, if youre fully vaccinated, you have a high degree of protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. If youre unvaccinated, you are not protected. So please, please get vaccinated. Erica hill, cnn, new york. And joining us now is cnn chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta who is live for us from tokyo. Sanjay, first, before we get to the questions of health, which are so at the forefront of these games, what is the latest feeling there on the ground. Well, i think Theres Excitement and theres anxiety. Its sort of both, you know, its very interesting, you know, just flying here typically you fly to an event like this. You cant barely get seats on the plane. Its crowded. Theres nobody on the flight. Its like flying into a War Zone or a natural disaster. So theres that sense. Theres no spectators allowed in the stands. That sort of feeling, you dont have that, all that earnestness around the games like you have had in the past. Theres a lot of testing thats going on. We got tested, for example, 96 hours before we left again. 72 hours before we left. Thats happening for the athletes and everyone thats involved in the village as well. So theres that whole sort of feeling. What they have tried to do here is really separate out the Olympic Village from the rest of tokyo. Its challenging to do, and we have spoken to public Health Experts, listen to how she put it. Visitors ask, of course, they are supposed to be within the bubble, but, you know, its not working well, and, you know, its obvious that the bubble is kind of broken, so there seems to be some sort of interaction between guests and visitors, and also local people. So thats what theyre trying to avoid is to have these interactions, trying to create this bubble like here. But again, Excitement And Anxiety at the same time. Sanjay, he admitted the bubble is kind of broken, that is a statement of fact, we have seen these cases, but what makes it doubly confusing is frankly, in some cases folks coming down with covid have been vaccinated. Help us understand these breakout cases, which is what theyre known as and what might account for them. Someone whos unvaccinated throwing off more virus, infecting people who have been vaks vaccinated, whats the latest science. The second part of your question, where exactly does Someone Contract the virus, where does that exposure happen. That can be hard to know sometimes. Clearly what we know with the Delta Variant is that the viral load that someone carries in their bodies is maybe A Thousand fold higher than it was with the original strain. So the Way Someone described it to me is if you are infected and putting out virus, its kind of like imagine Someone Smoking and blowing out smoke as theyre smoking, its kind of all around them, and continues to travel around them as well. Exposures can happen all sorts of different ways. Breakthrough infections, this is something we learn a lot, i think, because of these olympic games. In the United States, we know testing has really dropped off dramatically since the end of last year. Cdc says if youve been vaccinated, you dont need to be tested unless you develop symptoms. So how many of those vaccinated people actually do have a breakthrough infection, we dont know. Again, the overall testing has come down some 80 . But here, you know, you are seeing a lot of people who have been vaccinated who then test positive. Theyre not necessarily getting sick. Theyre probably surprised. They dont have any symptoms. But were going to get a better Idea Idea of just how common the Breakthrough Infections are. The vaccine doing what theyre supposed to do, prevent people from getting sick, prevent them from being hospitalized and dying. We have said so far, Breakthrough Infections are rare. They may not be as rare as we once thought. We just spoke with an olympic Gymnast Father who was going through the thing you described. Incredibly disappointing to go to tokyo and not compete. Sanjay, thank you so much for joining us from tokyo. The first Person To have pleaded guilty to storming the Capitol Sentencing to just eight months in prison. How that compares to other crimes.

Buglers dream begins playing yesterday a 38yearold Florida Man became the first Capitol Hill Rioter to be charged with sentence. Obstruction of an official seating carries a sentence of 20 years. The Biden Justice Department asked for one and a half years to deter political violence. He wasnt charged with attacking police or destroying property. The judge thought his apology was sincere, and he says he recognizes Joe Biden as the legitimate president but people shouldnt get points simply for admitting reality. The fact is that he took part in an insurrection by entering the Senate Chamber to try to stop the certification of an election, and eight months is a slap on the wrist for that unparalleled crime. Compare his sentence with others our criminal Justice System has dolled out for nonviolent crimes. Tommy chong got sentenced to nine months for selling bongs. A 46yearold Mother from dallas named Crystal Mason was sentenced to five years for casting a provisional ballot, unaware she was ineligible after serving time for tax fraud. Her Ball Lot was not counted. Eight months is ludicrously lenient compared to the people serving long sentences, like 38yearold allen russell, who was sentenced to life in prison for possessing 1. 5 ounces of marijuana in mississippi back in 2019 because of two prior Felony Convictions and a Weapon Charge or timothy jackson, who is serving life without parole for stealing a jacket at age 36 from a New Orleans department store. The aclu said the court increased the sentence baesed o a juvenile offense decades earlier and two Car Burglaries as an adult. And robert reilly, who was on parole for selling lsd to drug heads. His sentence was commuted by Barack Obama in 2017. I could go on. The point should be crystal clear. As a country we have sentenced people to far longer Prison Terms for far lesser crimes than trying to overthrow our democracy. And being duped into believing the Big Lie is not an excuse, especially when the Justice Department decided not to charge with sedition, despite their actions meeting the dictionary definition. Some people only understand the truth of their actions when they face real consequences. And Crystal Mason, the woman sentenced to five years in prison for casting a provisional ballot in the 2016 election while she was on probation, john just mentioned her. She is with us now, along with her attorney kim cole, and just to be clear, crystal you say you were not aware that you were not permitted to vote. You ended up casting a provisional ballot because you were not on the rolls, and you didnt understand why you cast a provisional ballot. Ultimate the ballot was not counted. I thought of you as we looked at this sentence. You are facing five years in prison, and i just wonder how you feel about the disparity in sentences as you are looking at what some of the Capitol Rioters are getting . Honestly, it makes me sad. Sad that our Justice System is so unfair. Im right now facing five years for an innocent mistake. I thought i was exercising my civic duties by voting. I thought i had that right. And yet i am facing five years for an innocent nonviolent offense. Why do you think there is a disparity, crystal . I think that i think its a disparity in regards to race. You think this is an issue of, in this case, someone who is white getting a more lenient sentence because they are white . Correct, yes. I know that you have felt targeted in this particular case with how the Prosecuting Attorney took it up. One of the questions i have for you on this day as were looking at this sentence for Capitol Rioter is that the insurrection was based on the Big Lie. The lie that Donald Trump won the election. That was the basis for why people went into the capitol, and attacked the capitol, and its actually prompted even stricter Voting Regulations in your state of texas. Even stricter than as you faced in your case. What do you think about that . Again, i think that this Justice System is very unfair, and again, you can see exactly what they did to the capitol. And that was a violent offense. And they went with intent to do exactly what they did, and here i am, an innocent mistake facing five years. Kim, just to get an update from you, we understand that Crystals Case is now being looked at by the Texas Court of criminal appeals. Where does that stand . So, actually, we just filed our reply to the states response. And it is left Up To the court of criminal appeals at this point to decide whether or not this egregious fiveyear sentence stands. So they could make a decision today, tomorrow, months from now, it just depends on when they do their review and what their decision is. Is that why crystal isnt in prison right now . Crystal is not in prison right now. She is out on an appellate bond. However, pending this decision by the Texas Court of criminal appeals, she very well may end up having to serve five years in prison. This is really, crystal, a Last Resort for you but it is unusual that this court would have taken up your case. Does that give you hope . Right now all i can do is trust god. Im hoping that they will look at my case, and look at it and see and make the right decision. Thats it. Just follow the law. Crystal, we certainly appreciate you being with us this morning. Crystal mason and her turn kim cole, thank you both. Thank you. Thank you. Is it the Governments Job to protect its citizens . Not according to one Fox Host. Were going to Fact Check that next.

Which can lead to something big. Start stopping with Nicorette Planned for tomorrow to advance the bipartisan Infrastructure Proposal as republican Senators Vote against advancing the deal. Joining us to discuss this is democratic senator Gary Peters of michigan. Sir, thank you for being with us this morning. I do want to let our viewers know you were not actually in this meeting Last Night about infrastructure but many of your colleagues were, and im wondering what youre hearing this morning about where things stand. Well, i think theres still some disagreement on some of the terms. That group is still working through that, but i think the important thing for us right now is that we need to proceed. And thats why Leader Schumer wants to put this on the floor tomorrow, a motion to proceed to go forward so that we can come together as a senate, and deal with infrastructure, physical infrastructure. This is something that we need to do. This should be bipartisan, its about investing in roads and bridges, expanding the high Speed Internet to folks all across the country in rural areas, urban areas. This is something that needs to be done. Hopefully it can be done in a bipartisan way. Its certainly not unusual to have this type of vote now, even though we dont have final bill text. We did it just recently with the innovation and competitive act. Weve got over 40 republicans joined democrats in advancing that legislation even though we didnt have full text at the time. But we did have different pieces, i was part of one of the pieces as chairman of homeland security committee. We did a number of cyber bills, and buy american bills that were in the bill. The same thing exists right now. We have energy legislation. We have legislation come out of the Commerce Committee in a bipartisan way. This is an attempt to move this ball forward. Its time to stop talking. Its time to take action. Our infrastructure needs it. And we should be able to Do It in a bipartisan way. So you agree with, it sounds like Schumers Decision to have this vote, which is controversial, Senate Gop Leadership threatening to block the Vote Tomorrow unless negotiators strike a deal on it. Is this possibly going to die . Is this imperilled . S i hope not because its too important. Its too important to make these kinds of investments. In fact, if you look at folks who look at the infrastructure of countries Around The World we rank number 13 in terms of the quality of our physical infrastructure. 13th. In the United States of america, we shouldnt be 13th in any category, particularly something as important as infrastructure. We should come together in a bipartisan way just like we did in the competitive act where we came together. We said lets move this forward. Lets have a motion to proceed. Again, when nearly 40 republicans joined us, even though we didnt have bill text, there were amendments that were put forward. There were 22 Roll Call votes, and it passed a wide bipartisan way. We just did this just recently. We can Do It again, but i think this will be a test. Are the republicans really serious about coming together and dealing with infrastructure in this country . If theyre serious, they will vote to proceed, and let the senate come together and work together as a body to move this critical legislation forward. If theyre not serious and walk away, that would certainly be too bad, and i think it would be terrible for the country, and if they walk away as democrats, we still have to make sure were making investments in in infrastructure in this country, to make sure we can continue to grow our economy, and create good paying jobs. Thats what this is all about. This is about good paying jobs. We need to come together. You chaired the first committee to investigate the capitol insurrection, it was on a limited scope. We have had you on the show to talk about this before. I wonder as you watch whats going on in the house, House Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy appointing five people to the House Committee investigating the insurrection, and chose three people who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election. What do you think of that . Well, its certainly not an indication that hes look at this in a good Faith Way, and i think thats so disappointing for the country. We had an insurrection on the capitol. We have to have an understanding of what actually happened, what motivated this action. We have to understand what the facts are. The american people deserve nothing less than having a full accounting and all of the facts associated with that horrific event. And i would hope that they would have come together in a good Faith Way to examine those facts. It certainly doesnt look like that based on these choices that he has made, and its disappointing for the country. Later today, senator peters, you will be announcing an investigation into cryptocurrency, and to cyber crimes as well. Tell us about this, what should we expect . Well, we are launching an investigation into cyber currency, dealing with our overall move to deal with cyber attacks in this country. It, in fact, will be putting out legislation shortly, dealing with the Ransomware Attacks that we have seen recently. In fact, there were 150 increase in Ransomware Attacks just in this year, and certainly big ones like pipelines, Meat Packing plants over the fourth of july, several small hundred businesses, so were hit with Ransomware Attacks, and what we find is cryptocurrencies are the medium of choice by these folks to use cryptocurrencies. In fact, well over 400 Million have been paid in ransoms in the last year from cryptocurrencies. We think it may be a much larger number because we still have to get a better handle on how widespread these attacks are. And we want to make sure were dealing with cryptocurrency and understand why is it the choice by these folks, and how can we disrupt that choice. How can we make cryptocurrencies not the medium of choice, but actually disrupt the use of cryptocurrencies. This will be an investigation into why its being used, how we can disrupt it. We certainly know the fbi was actually able to transact this transaction related to the pipeline. That is a disincentive. What sort of resources are necessary for us to do that in a more aggressive way to let these Cyber Criminals know theyre not going to get away with their ransom. We will track them down. We will get that ransom back. We will also hold them accountable. And they will be punished in addition to putting stronger locks on our doors. We have to also make sure were dealing with other aspects as well. Senator peters, thanks for being with us. Thank you. Well, some hosts at Foxs Propaganda headquarters are pushing antivaccine rhetoric. Others are livid that the government wants to battle Vaccine Push by Propaganda Headquarters by Educating Americans on the benefit asks safety of the Coronavirus Vaccine, including one member of the sunrise trio. If you didnt get a vaccination, thats your choice, but if you did, like i did, and they did, and maybe you did, then you should not wear a mask. And if you didnt, if you want to go Cliff Diving this weekend, you dont have to check with me. It seems a little dangerous but im not going to judge you, and if you go ahead and put yourself in danger, if you feel this is not something for you, dont Do It, but dont affect my life. 99 of the people dying from covid are unvaccinate sd. Thats their choice. They dont want to die. The Administration And Government are saying we need the Mask Mandate to protect the public thats not their job. Its not their job to protect anybody. Its literally the job of government to protect people. Check out the preamble of the constitution. We the people in the United States in order to form a More Perfect Union establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote The General Welfare and the secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Catch that . Provide for the defense of the people. And promote The General Welfare of the people. Tags forward to modern society, and nearly every section of the government and every law the government makes is designed however imperfectly to serve and protect its people. Many examples, the government protects your food, youve heard of the fda of course, the government protects your medicine. They make sure its safe to consume. They protect protects your travel with the faa regulating the skies and planes in which you ride. It protects the highways, Setting Speed Limits and putting Stop Signs at intersections, uses Crash Test dummies to improve the safety of your car, firefighters to protect you from flames, police protect you from crimes. Emts could save your life or get you quickly to someone who can. The government protects your personal safety, like the time this Fox Host wanted a democratic governor to show more appreciation for the government when it protected her against a kidnapping plot. The Justice Department found him him, arrested him, and they were stopped in the tracks. Governor whitmer not grateful but focused on the president. The previous arguments against his current argument dont stop there, like the time he pushed for teachers employed by the government to protect students. I love what florida is doing, allowing teachers to get trained for shootings in schools, to shoot back at the shooters before they get to the schools. Or the time that kilmeade wanted the government to protect against russian cyber attacks to protect americans. The only things russians understand is strength and if we have the same cyber technology as they do, i believe its better, a lot better, we have to blink their lights. Thats the only thing they understand. We pretend were living in a civilized world. Next thing its going to be the hoover dam. You think the pipeline is where it staops, this is where it starts, we have to send a strong message back, and throwing out a few diplomats is not going to work. Or the time he supported government funded manpower to protect the border. You know what i want, and i think we all want, there is a five Alarm Fire on our southern border right now, and the men and women every day need some help. Or the time that he said correctly that its the president s job, the head of the federal government to protect the country. He even called it leadership. The other thing is what the president is saying i will do whatever it takes to secure the country even if it hurts us economically because my first job is security. Thats called leadership, and if republicans dont go with it, i get that too but the president s got a different responsibility. Or the time kilmeade criticized the withdrawal of american troops who are of course funded by the government. What hes going to do early is a classic america pull the foot off the throats early and its going to make Everyones Security more perilous. But in fairness, lets consider the alternative, that he was simply arguing for personal responsibility. Its a Classic Libertarian argument that americans can do pretty much whatever they want. The problem is that his Cliff Diving metaphor doesnt really apply here because being reckless with your health in a pandemic can directly affect the health of others. Its that old idea that my right to swing my fist ends at requesyour nose. People who get vaccinated and choose not to can impact someone who doesnt have the choice of getting vaccinated, like someone under 12 who is Immuno Suppressed and goes to school in one of the states or School Districts where officials are banned from requiring Mask Use or someone who can get vaccinated but chooses not to because they believe the bs that his colleagues dish out nightly or someone who is vaccinated but still Immuno Suppressed who must rely on their fellow citizens to do the right thing, to be personally responsible for other people, not just themselves. What a concept. President biden is pushing for every american to get vaccinated as the country backslides with covid cases rising and many people still refusing to get their shots. Propaganda continues to sow doubt over the importance of vaccines, and on monday, the Dow Jones plunged more than 700 points, its biggest drop of the year as alarm over the delta infections dealt a blow to stops. Jeff zeleny is live in cincinnati with more. Vaccine hesitancy is stalling u. S. Progress and killing many americans. What efforts are being taken now to bridge the gap between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated . Reporter john, good morning, there are extensive efforts underway. They really have been for weeks and months to urge people to get vaks vaccinations, theres a vaccamillion lottery, contests, Celebrity Endorsements. But the Health Experts we talked to say its unclear if they have a real effect or not. As President Biden marks his 6th month in office today, the question is anyone listening to his urgent pleas. If youre unvaccinated, you are not protected. So please, please get vaccinated. Get vaccinated now. Reporter an urgent plea from President Biden, imploring americans to shed their doubts about vaccinations with covid19 cases sharply on the rise. The only way we put it behind us is if more americans get vaccinated. Reporter dina cariranley, a Barbara Lynch agree with the president but have a blunt Reality Check for them. They have spent months trying to chip away at Vaccine Hesitancy through their group first ladies for health, which does outreach to communities of color and faith. We have come up against a brick wall, and were trying to figure out what we can do now to induce people to get the vaccine. I have a grandson who is not taking the vaccine. And weve preached to him and preached to him about it, and hes not taking the vaccine. Your own grandson. Yes, he believes the stuff hes seeing on the internet. Reporter the Delta Variant is rattling nerves from the White House to Wall Street with the dow tumbling monday more than 700 points. The worst oneday decline of the yore. We know that our economic recovery hinges on getting the pandemic under control. Reporter two americas, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are coming into sharper focus here in ohio and across the country. Ohio is fully vaccinated 45. 9 of its population, just below the u. S. Rate of 48. 6 . Hamilton county, home to cincinnati, is slightly higher at 49 . Now were in this stage where the supply is very high and the demand is very low. Reporter the long lines at vaccination centers in the Winter And Spring have slowed to a summer time trickle. Julie Ann Nesbit is Health Commissioner of despite lot ris, Celebrity Endorsements and more. I think most people who have strong beliefs one way or the other, i dont know that an incentive is going to push them one way or the other to Do It. The Delta Variant has highlighted a new divide in america, rooted in far more than politics. Bill sterns a lawyer in the conservative suburb of batavia got his shot early but knows plenty of people who havent. The primary reason im hearing is its untested and they dont want to have anything like that in their bodies that they dont control. Reporter in cincinnati, 23yearold Marquis Hughes told us he will not get the vaccination, despite pleas from his grandparents and others. I just dont feel like its safe. Cant No One convince you. Reporter who told you it wasnt safe . Myself, just my research. Reporter so it is a sense of disinformation that is out there that really is driving some of this hesitancy, but certainly not all of it. But younger ohioans and of course younger americans across the country are a big part of the unvaccinated. Officials believe some of that will change when some colleges resume in the fall. Of course not all of them are going to require vaccinations, including most of the big universities here in ohio. There is no question the organizers we talked to say they are going to still go Person To person, trying to keep encouraging the vaccinations to keep going, but the Vaccine Hesitancy, john and brianna, is very real here across party lines. Got to follow the facts, not your fears. Jeff zeleny, live in cincinnati. Thank you. Reporter indeed.
