Sequoias sustain climate change, drought, and wildfires . Welcome to a Special Edition of the lead. Im Erica Hill in for Jake Tapper. We start today with our health lead. New concerns on this Labor Day that the long Holiday Weekend could worsen the Coronavirus Surge in the u. S. Despite Travel Warnings from the cdc, millions hit the roads, rails, and skies for a getaway. College football is back with Tens Of Thousands of mostly maskless fans packed into stadiums and some of the last districts to return to school are back tomorrow for Inperson Learning, including many in the northeast. Top health officials worry this can put even more strain on hospitals which are already running out of Icu Beds in parts of the country. Reporter summer is over. This week in the northeast, many schools start back, but ominous signs from the south. Kentucky schools opened already, and already one in five districts have closed at some Point Due to case counts, quarantines, or just lack of staff. We have a Record Number of kentuckians in the hospital battling covid, in the icu battling for their lives. Reporter and theyre overwhelmingly unvaccinated. South carolina has among the lowest Vaccination Rates in the country and the highest infection rate. We will have another uptick with the universities opening up. Well have a further uptick with the schools not having masks on. And well have Labor Day travel on top of this. So, yes, there will be a further uptick. Reporter meantime, more data that Vaccine Booster shots are now necessary due to the Delta Variant. The data from the israeli studies are that theres a rather substantial diminution against hospitalization. Reporter the plan was to start third shots here in two weeks. But might only be pfizer that rolls out then. Modernas delayed by a data review. Weve got people that are well beyond six months that are 60 and older that need the Booster Shot. And we cant give it to them because were being held up by, you know, the nation and on the federal level right now. Reporter more evidence boosters are needed, a Beginning And End of summer comparison. Four times the number of people in the hospital with covid19. Now average new daily cases up over 800 . Back then, we were losing an average of 594 lives a day. Now 1,561. The difference, fewer mitigation measures and delta. We need to rev up our game around getting unvaccinated persons vaccinated. Reporter now, israels medical chief has been asked to address fda advisers at their meeting next week and will present some more data on the boosters. Now, im not saying were getting ahead of ourselves with all this booster talk, but listen to this. Still more than a quarter of eligible americans have not yet had even their first vaccine shot. Erica . So important perspective. Thank you. The cdc urging Unvaccinated Americans not to travel for the threeday Holiday Weekend. Cnns Pete Muntean is live at reagan national airport. Pete, what are we seeing in terms of numbers . Does it seem like many people listened to those warnings from the cdc . Erica, a lot of people are still traveling even in spite of that cdc warning. But whats so interesting here is that these numbers are not as high as the commercial airlines had hoped. The tsa numbers from this Holiday Weekend show there are about 85 of what they were back in 2019 before the pandemic. And it could be a while before we see numbers this strong again. Airlines are now saying that bookings are going down, cancelations are going up, and theyre all blaming it on the rise of the Delta Variant. Really a sudden end to the Summer Travel Surge that we have been seeing. I asked united air Lones Ceo about this. He says that as vaccinations go up, these numbers should normalize a little bit. But remember theres still a lot of uncertainty ahead. More Travel Restrictions going into place. Hawaii even saying people should not travel to the state right now. Travel experts do caution to us that this is typically the time that Travel Numbers begin to slump off a little bit. But they say that theres No Doubt that the Delta Variant is having an impact here. The tsa said Todays Air Travel numbers will not set a pandemicera Air Travel record, which is so interesting because its typically the last day of a Holiday Weekend that is the biggest. Erica . Interesting. Pete muntean, appreciate it. Thank you. Joining me now to discuss william haseltine, Chair And President of Access Health and international. Former professor at harvard medical school. When you combine that Labor Day travel, we see these big crowds returning to college football. Yes, theyre outside but it feels pretty close together. More schools back to Inperson Learning this week. Are you concerned we could see another surge . I am pretty sure we will. All the indications are this virus is very transmissible, that its much more than it was this time last year. Weve seen plenty of surges last year from the same kind of behavior. We think that people are relaxing. Im happy to see that people are getting the message a little bit, especially for travel. But im pretty sure theres going to be another surge, yes. I mean, look, its important to be blunt here, but its tough i think for a lot of people to hear that, especially after the last major american holiday summer, the fourth of july, President Biden declared were closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. Now were at Labor Day. As nick laid out for us, were averaging 1,500 covid deaths every day. Icus nearing capacity or already there. What happened over the summer . What happened is a Delta Variant. Actually two things happened. This pandemic is driven by behavior and the virus. And both behavior got looser, more people felt they were in the clear. Those people who never were taking precautions didnt have precautions. And those people who were relaxed. And theres a much worse virus out there, much more transmissible. We have underestimated covid from the very beginning. The last administration underestimated it. And im sad to say this administration has underestimated it, too. We were all hopeful when we saw the rapid declines at the beginning of the summer that it was over. But now were back up close to the peak that we were. And it looks like worse times are to come. This virus is going to come back again and again. Thats my view as a virologist. Thats my view from studying coronaviruses. And i think we have to think about it like flu. Maybe we have to get a vaccine every year or maybe we have to get it twice a year. But whatever it is, the vaccines are going to be a big help. But they wont help if you dont follow sensible precautions when the virus is around. Yeah, and they dont help if you dont get them in the first place. We may need a shot every year, maybe we may need two, so much talk about the Booster Shot, especially from the administration. The language is changing, right, to now that nearly every american could need a third shot. This guidance has changed so quickly. Thats been frustrating for a number of people. In many ways i think just highlights the consistent issue with messaging. Its partly messaging, but its partly new knowledge too. And i think the one thing that you learn in medicine when youre looking at a new problem is not to overpromise, not to underestimate disease. How many of us had diseases that weve underestimated how serious this is . Covid is a really serious disease, and the virus is very, very tricky. Its honed its teeth for millions of years in infecting animals that have already been infected so it knows how to come back. And those are really difficult problems to solve. It doesnt mean its insoluble. People dont like to hear about it, but when you look at some parts of the world, whether its 1. 4 billion people in the nation and almost nobody has died, maybe 24 people in the last year and a half. Humans can control this. We can do it. But we have to do it with solidarity. We have to do it with community. We have to do it with a willingness to be willing to sacrifice to protect others because they will sacrifice to protect us. Thats what we need to do. Medicine plus caring for ourselves and other people is what we need. Caring can go a long, long way. You know, as we look at what could be coming in terms of guidance for a third shot or a second shot, depending on if you have the j j vaccine, there was that original September 20th goal. Pfizer looks like it will have the Fda Approval for an additional shot before moderna. Could people who got Moderna Or Johnson johnson get a pfizer Booster Shot . Absolutely. One thing that is very good news is that the government has prepared for a third shot, whether or not the fda has approved it. They want to be in a position so that its there when the green light goes on. And now we are there with a pfizer. And i think well soon be there within the month for moderna, a month to two months with moderna. So we have enough vaccines to do the booster. For those who are sports fans, think of this as a threepointer. Its something you really can do. Its the best thing you can do. We know that the level of protection is much better with a third shot. And thats not unusual for vaccines. Many, many vaccines require third shots, and the third shot of a trio takes place six months after the last shot. So this is quite normal. Its really something we need to think about because it really makes a big difference in your level of protection. And when you measure it for a level of hospitalization and disease, it makes a big difference. If you havent had your first, start catching up as soon as you can. William haseltine, always appreciate it. Thank you. My pleasure. Thank you, erica.

The taliban sharing this image today of their flag flying high over the Governors Office in the last remaining province resisting a takeover. The antitaliban fighters, however, denying they lost. They say they are still fighting and are appealing to the rest of the country to join them in a, quote, general uprising. Joinin joining me is nick watts. The taliban had been seen to have rounded up a lot of the fighters from the panshir valley. They say that, look, while the panjshir is one long valley with high mountain peaks, its always been a place thats been strategically defended very strongly. That seems to have crumbled. There are a lot of offshoot valleys, the mountains are very high. Ive spent time there. It is pretty austere and steep terrain. They say theyve still got fighters in the side valleys. In fact, one of their supporters whos just tweeted out over the last few minutes they are fighting on four fronts. The reality is theyve been pressed, theyve been pressed hard. They lost round. And this appeal for a national resistance for other leaders to rise up and is probably not going to garner a lot of support in the short term. In the longer term it might because theres a lot of former war lords, their sons as well fighters, people who are very accomplished at fighting who could rally to that cause at a later time. But for right now they really seem on the back foot, and the taliban have the upper hand, at least at the bottom of the valleys and in the Sort Of main government center district, if you will. As we look at whats happening on the ground in terms of americans who are still in afghanistan, the White House defending its evacuation efforts. This after Mike Mccaul said that they were Holding Americans and afghan allies hostages. There are a number of chartered airplanes that are on the ground at an airport in a northern city in afghanistan called mazarisharif. These are planes that were supposed to be bringing out some number of u. S. Citizens, u. S. Visa holders, afghans who had worked with the united states over the last 20 years of conflict in addition to some vulnerable populations like women and girls, for example. Now we do know that there are negotiations underway to try to get the taliban to agree to allow these planes to leave. But as to whether or not this is a hostage situation, as Congressman Mccaul has suggested, that has been disputed by some of the private groups that are organizing some of these flights. People can leave the airport. They just cant get on an airplane and leave afghanistan and go to qatar, as was originally the plan. But, look, the Bottom Line here, erica, is that it is unbelievably difficult for the united states to really have a great idea of what is going on, on the ground in mazar. The fact of the matter is, is the united States Government doesnt have an official presence there. There are no diplomats there. There are no servicemembers. The united states doesnt control the air space. So this is tricky. It certainly is. Meantime, in terms of who the united states would even be talking to, the taliban is expected, as we know, nick, to have their new government in a few days. What can we expect, and why has it taken so long to put that government out there . Well, we know that their current supreme leader, what they call their commander of the faithful is going to remain the Sort Of Head Of State or become the Head Of State, if you will. What happens below that isnt clear. Pakistani sources, they may have insights because their head of intelligence was in kabul talking to the taliban over the weekend, said that there were disputes between some of the Sort Of stronger Military Commanders over who could be the defense minister. But what were hearing is dont expect any women to be in senior positions, and this inclusive government that the taliban talked about having former afghan government members in there, perhaps senior members. You know, no one at the moment is telling us or giving us an indication that any former senior political figure is going to get a meaningful position in the taliban government. The latest coming from the taliban is that this government should come soon, but it could be what theyre describing as a Sort Of, you know, a temporary government, you know, where they maybe changed some positions in the near future. Really what they mean by that isnt clear. I think one of my biggest takeaways at the moment is that the taliban sources that in the past have been quite loquacious and have given us some useful insights that have been reasonably accurate, theyve all gone quiet at the moment. This really is being held close by the taliban, and its taking longer, and thats giving countries like pakistan and their intelligence services a degree of concern. Yeah, understandably.

In our politics lead, President Biden is closing out the summer with his worst Job Approval numbers yet after a chaotic exit from afghanistan, a slowdown in the economic recovery, and a rise in covid deaths and cases. Now as cnns Kaitlan Collins reports, the who us is going all in on bidens top domestic priorities at all costs. Reporter in moments President Biden will return to washington where a series of health, economic, and legislative challenges are facing him. Lets keep going. Lets stick together. Lets remember who we are. Reporter the u. S. Military has left afghanistan, but the White House is still trying to get dozens of americans out of the country. We believe its around a hundred. Were in touch with all of them. Reporter on top of that, the president is confronting a dramatic new rise in covid19 infections. Hell give a major speech wednesday as several states are running out of Icu Beds. The thing to do right now is to pull out all the stops on everything we can do to prevent new infections. Youre going to be in a situation where youre going to have to make some very tough choices. Reporter the surge is creating new uncertainty and causing Bidens Poll numbers to drop. 52 of people now approve of the way hes handling the pandemic, down 10 from 62 in june. The president says the Delta Variant is to blame for the latest anemic jobs report. I know were people were looking and i was hoping for a higher number. Reporter federal funds ended for more than 7 Million americans today. Tomorrow the president will travel to stormravaged New York and New Jersey to survey damage and make the case for serious action on climate change. Yet another reminder that these extreme storms and the Climate Crisis are here. Reporter this as senator joe manchin, a fellow democrat, is threatening to upend the president s legislative agenda, calling for a, quote, strategic pause on his colleagues costly social policy program. Bidens chief of Staff Ron Klain says hes confident theyll get manchins critical vote in the end. If i had a nickel for every time someones told me this package has been dead, i would be a very, very rich person. Reporter and, erica, we should note that on top of that and those americans that are losing those expanded jobless benefits, there are another 3 Million who are losing the 300 weekly supplement as well. Ron klain in that interview was saying that he would be a very rich person if he had a nickel for every time someone said that the president s legislative agenda was dead. Also said in that interview that he thinks that the jobs are out there for those people who need them and that the states have the resources to move people from unemployment to employment. Kaitlan collins with the latest for us, thank you. Lets discuss further. Hillary, these two new polls which came out over the last few days show President Bidens Approval Rating dipping significantly. You see it down 44 in this new Abc Washington Post poll. How concerning are those numbers for democrats heading into 2022 . I think theyre thinking about 2022 at this stage is kind of premature. I think were going to see a renewed effort coming, you know, this month back to the senate, back to the house to actually pass the legislation that Joe Biden promised the american people he was going to pass. And i think that as long as he is doing the job he said, get the pandemic under control, get people vaccinated, get the economy moving again, i think people are going to reward that at the polls, and i think thats what theyre focused on is getting this stuff done and hoping that the election then takes care of itself. So, as we look forward to that election, it was interesting what we heard from republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger over the witeekend. All i can say right now is my party has to embrace truth. We have to have a full reckoning of what happened on January 6th. And we have to turn away from conspiracy. I think if were going to be in charge and pushing conspiracy and pushing division and pushing lies, then the republican party should not have the majority. Scott, do you agree . Should the majority in the house should republicans, if they keep embracing the big lie, how damaging is that moving forward . Well, i think the January 6th matter is actually far more impactful for 2024 than 2022. I think the midterms already favor republicans. Historically they would favor republicans anyway. You see the american people turning against biden for a number of reasons. If the economic indicators continue, if people remember the shame of his afghanistan decision, if we continue to have inflation, we continue to find out that Joe Biden isnt the person that he told us that he was during the campaign, i think the wave could be building even greater than history might otherwise indicate. The January 6th matter, to me, is far more impactful for the next president ial election. But i think for the midterms, frankly, republicans are in a good spot. I think it would be an Epic Disaster to advocate for democrats remaining in the majority when you see the extreme policies being pushed by biden and his party. Hillary, im going to guess knowing you two well, you dont agree with that specifically the way that scott has set up where things stand right now for President Biden. Whats your take on what we heard from Congressman Kinzinger . You know, he did say in that interview beforehand that he was a republican and wanted them to win the majority. But i think the point he is making is one that is important, and it is relevant to the midterms even though scott doesnt want to talk about it, which is why should people vote for a congressman who lies . Why should they want a Majority Leader and a speaker who lies to them every day in fealty to Donald Trump about who won an election, you know, almost now a year ago . And so i think there is something to that. But i think most importantly democrats are delivering Joe Biden is going to be delivering what people want. These provisions are popular. Moms are staying home because they dont have affordable childcare. People are worried that these storms are never ending unless there is some aggressive action on climate change. There is support to move infrastructure. So i think if democrats still deliver what they said that they were going to deliver in the last election, thats what the midterms are going to matter most about. You know, there is a lot of focus, understandably, on the issue of abortion, which is coming Front And Center again based on what we saw with the new law out of texas. Merrick garland promised to protect Abortion Clinics in texas by enforcing a federal law that prohibits people from Blocking Entryways to the clinics or making threats against patients. But, really, is that enough . How much of a difference do you think that is going to make . No, its not enough. And i dont think that he or the president thinks its enough. It is frightening to think that women in texas are going to have this kind of Government Control over their bodies, where vigilantes can come and enforce a law, you know, for money. So i think that the Attorney General is doing everything they can. There is a law on the books that says that you cannot threaten anyone going to an abortion clinic, and theyre going to try and use that. But, really, what we need is a supreme Court Decision in roe v. Wade to be codified into law a huge percentage of the american people do not want this law changed. Members went to the Supreme Court and got confirmed like justice kavanaugh, promising senators that he was not going to change this law. There is a real threat to womens independence here and womens healthcare. And i think the republicans are going to rou the day that theyve supported this Texas Law and that theyve supported such a dramatic shift in womens rights. There is concern that this could really backfire on republicans and could harm them at the ballot box. How concerned are you, specifically when it comes to, example, suburban women . Im not too concerned. Look, the confines of most elections are broadly fought on these lines. Republican is the prolife party. Democrats are proabortion and will do just about anything to defend abortions. And republicans in most cases will do anything to push prolife policies. I dont really think that has changed here. Now, if we have a Roe Versus Wade Decision next year in the runup to the midterm, i think that would be a time to relook at the political calculus. I think its going to be on the state of the economy. Im dubious that abortion is going to be the Number One issue in the election when people are going to the Grocery Store and their bills are skyrocketing every month with no end in sight. We will be watching for all of it. Hillary, scott, thank you both. With time running out in californias recall election, Governor Gavin Newsom is turning to a key group to help him keep his job.

This Holiday Weekend newsom himself is angling for support from Union Workers to get the votes he so desperately needs. Lets vote no no, no, hell no reporter on a sweltering Labor Day weekend, california Governor Gavin Newsom rallied the foot soldiers who fought for him before, leaning on Organized Labor to keep him on the job. We embrace unions. We embrace social justice, racial justice, economic justice. All of those things are at risk if we dont turn out the vote on september 14th. Reporter thats the last day to vote in the republicanbacked recall of the democratic governor. The Los Angeles Federation of unions says it spent 2 Million to protect newsom, calling half A Million voters. How are you doing . Im doing good.

Organized labor has been key in making sure that this becomes a Deep Blue state. So the values of the state reflect the union values, those are workers, immigrants, people who work for a paycheck in this country.

Reporter from their size. General sherman is 275 feet tall. Holy cow. Reporter to their longevity. Before christ, these trees were mature. Reporter much about Giant Sequoia Trees is on a grand scale. With that distinctive red brown bark covering their thick trunks, sequoia trees can only be found in Californias Sierra Nevada mountains. This is a resilient tree. They are tough. Almost nothing can kill them. Reporter but climate change is changing that. Shrinking the giant sequoias footprint. A giant sequoia that was first weakened by drought was then subject to impacts by the bark beetle, which then further weakened the tree and potentially made it more susceptible to mortality from fire. Reporter the Stag Tree is said to be the fifth largest tree in the fire world. Its lived more than 3,000 years. And yet were seeing that wildfire is threatening these giant sequoias more than ever before. The Castle Fire was a wakeup call, an estimated 7,500 to 10,600 trees were destroyed in that one fire alone. Reporter started by lightning in august 2020, the Castle Fire was part of the Sequoia Complex that burned more than 174,000 acres, scorching several sequoia groves. It was devastating, heartbreaking. Everything had been incinerated. It was a field of the worlds largest burned up toothpicks. Reporter after decades of suppressing forest fire, other trees and brush have grown rampantly around the sequoias. The fires that used to burn every five to ten years in the sierra would just keep down the competition and reduce the fuel naturally. Reporter on land owned by the save the redwoods league, we hiked out to see just how deadly Castle Fire was here. For you us to see 10 to 14 of the total of giant sequoias alive killed in one year in one year, theres nothing to compare that to.
