As the middle of this month. Right. Please keep fingers crossed. The New York times says that the fda is aiming for the beginning of september. An Fda Official tells cnn theyre moving as fast as they can. Really the differences here are just a matter of weeks. The difference that full approval could make is it could make some unvaccinated people say, oh, i may be antsy about getting a vaccine with only emergency authorization, i want it to have full approval. It could make other employers and businesses say now i feel comfortable requiring people to have the vaccine. Lets take a listen to dr. Fauci. I think there are a certain proportion of people who are just waiting for that full approval, even though the data are overwhelming right now that these vaccines are highly effective and are safe. The other thing, its going to allow independent local enterprises, universities, colleges, businesses, who will feel much more comfortable when they say im going to mandate that, if you want to come to this school, if you want to work in this place, youve got to be vaccinated. Its unclear exactly what difference full approval would mean to those who have not wanted to get a vaccine. Kaiser Family Foundation has some data that 3 of 10 vaccine hesitant people say full approval will make a difference. They will vote with their sleeves, and they will roll them up hopefully if that does make a difference. Anything that moves the dial really. Tell us what the data is showing us about an increase in covid infections among children. Yes. I think throughout this pandemic, a lot of people thought children, its not a big deal for them. These numbers are pretty striking about how much more often children are getting infected. Lets look at the data from the american academy of pediatrics. When they looked July 22nd through 29th, one week, 70,726 new cases. That was up 84 from the previous week. Thats a lot in one week, a huge jump. Five times as many cases as The End of june. The vast majority of those children dont end up in the hospital. From the descriptions were hearing of children getting the Virus, even when they dont get so sick that they go in the hospital, theyre home and many are suffering very high temperatures, hacking coughs. Were hearing of children having longterm effects from covid19 even if they werent all that sick to begin with. Why would you want that for your child when you can just give them a vaccine . 12 and up, you can do it now. The fda says its safe. Elizabeth cohen, thanks very much. Thanks. Dr. Fauci says Vaccine Passports like The One announced in new York City could help put more pressure on the unvaccinated to get the shot. New york will start requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining, gyms, other recreational activities, that could be the beginning. Cnns vanessa you Cave Itch joins me from New York. Are other cities considering Vaccine Gold cards like New York is trying here . Reporter yes, they are. Right here in new York City the vaccine is your ticket to entry to a coffee shop, to a restaurant, just like The One behind me, a movie theater, a gym. This is all part of mayor de blasios effort to encourage people to get vaccinated and stop the spread of this highly contagious Delta Variant. We spoke to one Restaurant Owner who says he welcomes this news. Another live Venue Owner says he doesnt think this new mandate will change anyones mind about getting the vaccine. We were wrestling with it from the get go because the Laissezfaire Approach Wasnt working. Im very happy its going to be enforced. I think its much better, the fact that we can point to somebody else and say, hey, listen, dont get on our case. Its coming from high above, we have to comply. Theres not much we can do about it. It makes us feel much more comfortable in the act of rejecting somebody, which we dont want to do. Reporter matthew who you just heard from said hes going to have to hire another person to check vaccines, an added expense he wasnt accounting for. The national Restaurant Association is saying that pudding the burden of checking vaccines on employees could change could cause some conflict with customers in terms of other Sit Cecities getting o board. The mayor of boston has already said shes not going to be implementing this in her city. Here in new York City, it will be mandated september 13th. The big practical question, who enforces. Vanessa, thanks very much. To louisiana where our lady of the Lake Hospital just admitted a record 32 new covid patients in the past 24 hours. According to a president who spokesperson, 175 people currently hospitalized there with the Virus. 61 of them in the icu. Across the street at childrens hospital, eight children hospitalized with covid19 including a baby just three weeks old. Joining me is dr. Christopher thomas, a critical Care Physician at the hospital. Thank you for taking time this morning. You said in your hospital youre becoming victims of the unvaccinated. Weve heard before this is a pandemic of the willfully unvaccinated, right . Because there is a widely available and efficacious, more than one, vaccine. Are you finding that, as the number of infections go up, the people are kwhanging their minds, those who were hesitant are now getting the shot . Good morning. I believe were seeing some hope as it relates to people both texting their doctors and calling them to say what do you think . Delta is disastrous. As you said, were admitting one patient every 45 minutes. The biggest Challenge Weve learned from delta, one of the lessons weve learned is if youre online and you see a Website Or Blog, and that Website Or Blog makes some therapeutic claim equivalent to the vaccination, let me be honest and say the providers of the hospital will not come to the hospital, will not come hold your hand when youre able to not breathe. We have 15 or 20 people, they will not come and say youre the victim of misinformation. So as a result what we have is a group of people who have misinformation they think is equivalent to vaccination. Thats not the case. So were actually getting better, but its because were aggressively going against this Misinformation Campaign and trying to help our patients again. Its a national problem, really international. A lot of outside players coming in helping to stoke this. What is it doing to the staff of your hospital . The numbers were talking about now, these surges seem very similar to what we thought was behind us. The worst of the pandemic a number of months ago. Our staff is tired, but theyre compassionate and theyre committed. We were able to get relief from a Decision Isaster Management t. Weve become much more aggressive as a Hospital System in trying to get out to our patients and saying please call us, please talk to us. We want to protect you. We want to get you a vaccine. Weve seen that work in some instances. I will be very honest, our team is tired. Theres no other way to say that. Theyre looking at for us here in louisiana, there are times when theyre not going to be at the Dinner Table again. Thats okay because were committed to it its a challenge for them. How concerned should we be . When we see these spikes, this is the summertime. Typically the best conditions for a Virus are winter time, et cetera. How concerned should we be that were seeing winterlike numbers in the midst of the summer, and what does that mean going forward . Here is how concerned you should be. We have 175 patients in our hospital. If youre a Hospital Administrator in the united states, that is a frightening number. It would overwhelm over 25 of the hospitals in this country. As a result, it means that were impacting other diseases, stroke, sepsis, Heart Attack require time to diagnosis and a bed available and a place to put them. We dont have a place to put them, and we are saying no for the first times in our careers. We dont like it. But when we get calls from colleagues who are desperate for help, were having to say we dont have a place for you. We need to recognize that, if your community is not here in louisiana and youre less than 40 , delta is coming, get out to your community, make that number higher, because you will not be able to handle this number of patients, winter, summer, spring, fall. There are only so many beds. Listen, we appreciate your candor here. Its important to hear that message. Before we go, are you seeing more young victims of this in your hospital . And are you concerned that the Delta Variant is fundamentally more of a threat to young p people . Delta is different, 60 icu patients, 60 unvaccinated, average age 48. We had almost no children in our hospital throughout the entire first and second surge. We now have children in the pediatric hospital. Delta is not the same. You cant avoid it. Youre going to get it. How are you going to think about receiving the Virus and whats your protection going to be . The only thing thats effective is a vaccination. Please think about it, call your doctor. Please go get one. Dr. Thomas, well do our best to amplify your voice here. Its important for folks to hear that message. Thank you so morning. Thank you so much.

New york democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing Mounting Pressure to resign. A damning report including 180 interviews, more than 70,000 documents found the governor sexually harassed 11 women and created a hostile Work Environment around him. Several leaders in the democratic party including president biden, House Speaker Nancy pelosi have called for him to step down, this after the governor released a video denying the allegations. The facts are much different than what has been portrayed. I want you to know directly from me that i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. This morning one of his accuser, Charlotte Bennett, reacted to that video. It wasnt an apology and he didnt take accountability for his actions. He cant once apologize and then say he didnt do anything wrong. He blamed me and said i simply misinterpreted what he had said, but his line of questioning was not appropriate. He was coming on to me and he insinuated that survivors of trauma and sexual Assault Cant tell the difference between Mentorship And Leadership and Sexual Harassment itself. Joining me to discuss is democratic New York State Senator, Al Less Sandra bee atity. Thanks for taking the time this morning. Thank you for having me. You have called, as many democrats have, for the governor to resign. He is refusing to do so. If he does not resign, should he be impeached and removed from office . Yes, he should. I want to say i have been calling for the governor to resign since the early part of the spring for many different reasons, including because he has fostered and upheld a toxic Work Environment, but also the way he handled the nursing home crisis. The attorney generals report confirmed what many of us knew to be true. There are violations of federal and state law. It is in the governors best interest to resign, and i hope le will resign. I hope hes listening to the chorus of voices from across the country. I dont think he will resign. What that then means is we have to begin Impeachment Proceedings which are proceedings that be anyone in the New York State Assembly. How quickly might those move to a vote . We could do that as early as today. In New York state, the Impeachment Process begins with the assembly. They have to draft something called the articles of impeachment. This is followed by the New York State Assembly who has to vote by a majority of members to initiate the Impeachment Process via resolution. Once that happens, the governor is required to step away from his duties as the State Senate then conducts an impeachment trial. If the assembly actually did this today and delivered the Impeachment Articles to us in the senate today, the governor would be required to step aside. Not unlike the process for removing a president. New york is facing another surge in covid19. Discussions of mandates, Vaccine Passports, et cetera. Today is the Governor Fit to serve . Can he do his job in light of this report and what it found . The governor is not fit to do his job, unfortunately, for the city of New York. Its not just because of the findings from the attorney generals independent investigation. When we look at Covid Recovery and covid relief, were still in the middle of covid. We have the Delta Variant on the rise. Your previous guest was talking about the surge of case for also young people. Why that matters, we have a lot of federal funds and State Funds that need to go out the door to a lot of New Yorkers who are in need. Unfortunately what weve seen in New York is this governor has also failed to do that. Its not just about the way he runs his office. Its that the way he runs his office is also something thats affecting negatively, impacting negatively, New Yorkers. Hes unable to govern. Let me ask you this. You worked with him for a number of years, and apologies if this is an uncomfortable question. I want to ask in your own personal experience, did you Witness Or Experience behavior as he is now accused of . I did not experience Sexual Harassment from the governor. What i can say is the Executive Chamber that the governor runs is a toxic Work Environment. That is something i absolutely experienced. Its almost impossible not to experience that. The office is designed to undermine staff, to destabilize staff. It is designed to make you secondguess yourself. Its what feels like a constant whiplash between praise and being valueless. It leads you to really wonder whether the bad behavior that happened to you really happened. Unfortunately, its part of just what is business as usual there. I think that the Governors Abuse of power is pervasive, as i mentioned. It doesnt just impact the women who work around him but also the function an integrity of new York City government. For me i was able to use that experience and it fueled my run for office, but not many people are able to do that. Unfortunately what it does, it makes very talented people to leave state government. We need the best talent because New York deserves the best talent. One of his accusers, as you know, has spoken out, Charlotte Bennett, and responded to his Statement Yesterday in which he claimed that he was just reaching out to try to help her with her own past experience with Sexual Assault and harassment. She called it a Propaganda Video and said it wasnt an apology at all, but attacking his victims. I wonder did you feel the same way as you watched the governor make his response . I felt so many emotions, one of them was sorrow, not just for Charlotte Bennett but the other victims. I think what many victims and survivors of sexual Abuse Feel is theyre being gaslit throughout their lives and being told that what we experienced is not what we experienced, but a miss exc miss excerptation. Hes trying to convince the public she cant be trusted. However, i know, as a survivor of Sexual Abuse and what im here to share is that when you are somebody who has experienced that and also you go through therapy, youre better to understand the patterns of Harassment And Abuse more clearly. It doesnt make a survivor less credible. It makes a survivor more credible. Goodness, i appreciate you sharing that. Im sorry you had to go through that as well. Thanks so much for taking the time and being so open about your own experience, Alessandro Bee and gentlemen. Thank you for having me.

Surprise, surprise, lawyers for former president Donald Trump have officially entered the fight to prevent the release of his Tax Returns, this after the Justice Department ordered the irs to turn over the documents to lawmakers last week. Cnns Cara Skin nell joins me from New York. Trump has been fighting this on multiple fronts for years now. Where does this one go from here . This particular fight hes has under way for two years. For now, the new Move Today is trumps legal team has entered this. Theyre asking the judge overseeing this case to permanently block the Treasury Department from turning over Donald Trumps Tax Returns to the House Ways And Means Committee. Theyre saying this is an effort that is purely political. They cite multiple democrats comments for the need for Donald Trump to make his tax records public, including House Speaker Nancy pelosi. They say its to harass the president and potentially embarrass him. As weve seen Donald Trump didnt pay taxes for a number of years. This committee is looking for six years of Tax Returns. They say as part of the oversight role, they should be able to look at how the irs handles that. The reason this will be a big Fight And One that will likely proceed for several more months now is because the big concern this committee could make these returns public. Donald trump and his lawyers have fought for years to try to prevent the President S Tax Returns from becoming public. What well see next here is that the judge will likely set up a Briefing Schedule. Then well see arguments and that will play out over the next several months. Donald trump has made an effort in multiple of these cases. There are other efforts by other House Committees to get Tax Returns and other records from his accounting firm. Those have been on hold. The president , of course, the former president has made a big effort to fight all these things including, of course, going to the Supreme Court twice to try to stop the manhattan d. A. s office from obtaining his Tax Returns. Jim. Yeah. Turning the Audit Excuse on its head there. He used the audit as a reason not to turn over his taxes. Kara scannell, thanks so much. Former federal Prosecutor And Cnn legal analyst elliott williams. Hes been fighting for years not to have his Tax Returns to go public. This is one path that the manhattan d. A. Already has. Does he have a chance to block this . This isnt an awful Donald Trump court filing, jim, believe it or not. Two things can be true. The House Ways And Means Committee can have a valid investigation into how the irs works and ought its people, but also democrats and members of the public have wanted to see his Tax Returns. They say it right here, that this is part of a broader nationwide effort by democratic officials to obtain President Trumps information. Hes making the case this isnt about the irs or congressional oversight, this is about making his tax records public. Hes got a bit of a point, a bit of a point. So, if he loses that argument now in court, and it does go to congress, will you and i see those . Will they become public . Not necessarily. I want to be clear, congress in my view, has the right to investigate this material. Im saying its not a frivolous argument. The materials will be turned over to the house ways an means committee, not even the full house of representatives. Theyd have to vote in congress to make the materials available to the full house and then to make them available to the public. If congress is doing what theyre saying they want to be doing, theyre not making these public. As i would note, since nixon, President S and president ial candidates have voluntarily shown their Tax Returns to the people. Tell us time frame here. Donald trump is expert at stretching things out in court. Is this one he can stretch out for much longer . Yeah. Just because litigation takes a long time. Exactly as kara said, the Briefing Schedule will take weeks to set up, then hearings and so on. Congress isnt seeing these tomorrow, though they should. Quickly, on the House Ways And Means Committee, as i remember, wasnt there some language about they shall have the ability to do this . This is not out of nowhere, right, that they claim this right. The Justice Department was where that language came from and said explicitly that congress in its oversight authority, has the ability to look into these Tax Returns as long as theyre narrowed in what they choose to use them for.

New this morning, another explosion has rocked the capital of afghanistan just hours after a deadly Car Bomb went off near the acting Defense Ministers home. The taliban has taken responsibility for that attack which killed eight people. The minister was not at home at the time. He and his family are safe. Clarissa ward is live In Kabul. Clarissa, listen, across the country youre seeing the taliban advance. Now theyre flexing their muscle inside the capital. Tell us what nerves are like there about stability. Reporter this definitely Hit People to the core because its been relatively quiet for several months In Kabul, and even though people are used to these types of attacks and theyve grown weary and inured do them, almost, this is a reminder from the taliban that we can still hit you right in the city center, targeting your Defense Minister who fortunately was not injured or killed. Again, this is happening again the backdrop, jim, of this massive onslaught that the taliban has been presiding over for the last several months. Theyve taken control of countless districts, of border crossings. Theyre threatening half of the provincial capitals. Three of them are in really bad shape. The taliban has laid siege to them in Kandahar And Helmand province, also in har rat, near the border with iran. Theres a very real sense of fear and frankly, a sense that things could have been avoided, that it didnt need to be this way. Almost all the gains, or the vast majority of them, have been in the last few months since the u. S. Began its withdrawal. Thats primarily because this countrys Security Forces are hugely reliant on american Air Power in particular. Now there is a very real question that i dont think anyone knows the answer to which is, can afghan Security Forces turn this around . Is there a way to stem the bleeding . For now it doesnt appear immediately obvious that there is. So understandably fears are high and anxiety particularly in the capital where people here feel they have so much to lose should the taliban try to take power again. The u. S. In recent days has been conducting limited Air Strikes in support of afghan Security Forces on the ground. Do those forces, their commanders believe that u. S. Help from outside the country is sufficient to back them up . I think theres no question that its a help, right . Theyll take anything that they can get in this given moment, particularly in Lashkar Ga in helmand which has been overrun by taliban militants. Now we heard from the afghan military theyre going to launch a counteroffensive. They came out and urged any civilians who are living in houses under taliban control to immediately leave their homes. One is assuming that that counteroffensive will largely take shape in terms of Air Yall B arielle bombardment. One of the big strains that the afghan forces are feeling right now is that they dont have the contractors or labor in order to perform the basic maintenance that keeps these planes in the sky. So their own Air Force is under a tremendous amount of pressure. And even with those u. S. Air strikes coming in from outside, it might be enough to make a small difference in the short term or avert an outright catastrophe, but i dont think anyone sees this as a sustainable longterm strategy. Its a matter of time. If youre outside the country, it takes longer to get there. Weve heard reports of Al Qaeda fighters on the front lines alongside taliban fighters. How significant is that . What does it mean for a comeback of Al Qaeda with the u. S. Withdrawal . Reporter this is obviously a hugely important issue. The basic premise that the u. S. Withdrawal was made upon that the u. S. Is essentially okay with the idea that the taliban would come back into power provided, on The One very specific condition, that Al Qaeda or any kind of Terrorist Group would no longer be allowed to have any kind of Safe Haven here. The taliban, for their part, have strenuously indicated that they would not allow that to happen. There are many reports of Al Qaeda, other Fringe Operators who are inside aflg. Some people say they dont have international ambitions, that theyre largely just focused here on afghanistan. Thats unlikely to be a lot of comfort for the afghans. No question, as we come up to the 20th Anniversary of 9 11 next month. Clarissa ward In Kabul, thank you.

Another story were following this morning, you do want to see this video. Its alarming. Frontier airline is now reversing itself saying it supports the Flight Crew that did this. They duct taped a passenger to his seat after he attacked, groped, assaulted Flight Attendants, this is as its happening. The incident on the Weekend Flight from philadelphia to miami came as Flight Attendants across the country are grappling with a surge of unruly, violent passengers. Cnn Aviation Correspondent Pete Muntean joins me now. I experienced this on a flight last week and cops met the unruly passenger on the ground. Its a really big aboutface because there was push back after frontier suspended these Flight Attendants. Frontier airlines had this happen on a flight from philadelphia to miami. Miamidade police say a passenger on one of these flights essentially got drunk, took his shirt off, groped two Flight Attendants, and then a third Flight Attendant was assigned to watch him, and this happened. It gets really interesting and spicy here because, after all this happened, this passenger was duct taped to his seat. This tape its called restraint tape. Its in the kit for Flight Attendants to deal with flight emergencies. Frontier came out and said they were suspending this Flight Crew. Now it says they support the Flight Crew. 22yearold Maxwell Berry is charged with three counts of battery according to the Miamidade Police department. We reached out to him for comment, although hes not reached back up to us. 3,715 unruly passengers this year alone according to the faa. 100 in the last week. Only 99 initiated Enforcement Action by the faa. Flight attendants are celebrating this because this passenger has been brought to justice so quickly. Its straightup assault. Had to be alarming. Another issue, lots of cancellations, delays involving spirit airlines. A pretty big meltdown, the fourth day in a row where there have been a lot of issues with spirit. They blame the weather, operational issues. There are fuel shortages. Spirit airlines is dealing with a lot with its i. T. System as well. Its led to a lot of irate passengers according to flight aware. More than 300 flights canceled, 40 of its schedule overall. Were waiting to hear from spirit about when this will all stop.
