Kids are staying on these apps. And that doesnt inherently coincide with protecting young peoples Mental Health because theyve seen through the past that when they use add things like the like buttons and add face filters, that inherently promote insecurity, the app becomes more popular. So, no, i dont think they are while i wish they would do things to change and i think they are capable of it, i dont think they are the ones that are going to ignite actual change when it comes to this issue. I want to thank you for this conversation. So important as facebook considers an Instagram App for kids. So im glad. Were going to be talking about this. Sylvia, thank you. Thank you for having me. And new day continues right now. Good morning to viewers here in the United States and around the world. I am Brianna Keilar with john berman, and it is thursday, september 16th. U. S. Capitol police are asking the pentagon for support from the National Guard ahead of a planned Rightwing Protest At The capitol on saturday. Overnight, temporary fencing around the capitol was reinstalled around the complex. Capitol police also say they have been in touch with the military. This is being called the justice for j 6 rally, its being thrown in support of the insurrectionists who were charged in the deadly January 6 capitol riot. Both chambers of congress will be in recess, meaning far fewer lawmakers or staff will be in the area. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to democrats saying, quote, there is a wish by some to continue the assault on the u. S. Capitol with misinformation and malice. The leadership of the congress on a bipartisan and Bicamera Basis has been briefed by the police and preparations to address another attempt to defile our national purpose. Lets begin with cnns shimon prokupecz. Youve seen the fences go up, youve seen the protections go into place. Tell us about it. Reporter so, overnight as you said, john, these fences were placed really just entire the entire perimeter of the capitol now fenced in with these fences. And also whAt Theyve done here, john, is theyve put these barricades, these jersey barriers, concrete barriers. A lot of the parts of the capitol here as well, and that is obviously to protect from vehicles. Obviously there is some Concern Someone may try to drive a vehicle through here. So theyve done that. And really, john, i just want to show you, eddie here is going to show you a perspective of this how far the stretch is. It goes for blocks now. And it turns the corner and goes around onto independence. Really, the entire perimeter now of the capitol now fortified because, as you said, authorities here not taking any chances. Even though people will not be here, they dont expect members of congress here. Obviously it will be a saturday, theres recess. But theyre still not taking any chances. The other thing is going to be the National Guard, how will they be deployed . Will we see them along the perimeter again . We dont know yet. Officials have not said. Obviously last time we did see them. Youre going to see a lot of Capitol Police and washington police as they prepare. Certainly on the day there is going to be a heavy, heavy Police Presence here, john. You cant take any chances. How could you take any chances after what happened on January 6 . All right, shimon, thank you so much for being there for us. And joining us now to discuss, Cnn Anchor and chief national Affairs Analyst Kasie hunt. You know, kasie, theres so much preparation going into this. Its a little unclear how big of a rally this is going to be. But they have to be prepared because something like this has the capacity to go out of control. The reality is they simply cannot afford to make the same set of mistakes again. What happened on January 6th obviously the former president encouraged those people to come down to the capitol. But the reality was thAt There wasnt a perimeter Set Up in advance. And Thats Part of what put those Law Enforcement officers who were defending the capitol for All Of Us who were inside the complex that day, made their jobs so difficult and resulted in so many injuries. Thankfully no Law Enforcement officers, you know, passed in the moment, but obviously several died as a result of what happened that day. So, you know, they just cant afford to let anything like that happen again. I think one of the central differences over the weekend is we dont know thAt The former president is going to be urging people to go there. That was such a critical piece of what happened on January 6th. Sorry. Melanie zanona was reporting on some of the buyin that republicans of congress find themselves a bind, though . Go ahead. Her reporting is great. I dont want to take anything away from melanies reporting at all. But in terms of republicans who are suddenly trying to grapple with this from a political perspective, i just would take them back to whAt They felt on that day when they were trying to barricade themselves inside their respective chambers where people showed up with zip ties. Sure, many of those republicans didnt feel as though they specifically would have been targeted by these people because they were Donald Trump supporters. On the other hand, many of them arent necessarily known. And the more we learn about this, when these cases are ongoing through our criminal Justice System, the more we learn, the scarier it all turns out to be. The reality is i understand, i cover the politics these people are dealing with back in their home districts, but that doesnt change the simple morality of the situation when Peoples Safety and lives are potentially at stake. Totally. There should be no bind. I agree with you 10,000 there. Whats interesting, though, is the situation inside the republican party where the facts just dont matter any more. This new Cnn Poll shows that 78 of republicans believe that biden didnt get enough votes to win the election. 78 . 54 say Theres Evidence that exist to back it up, which there ar isnt. Thats among people we polled. Even if members of Congress Arent going to show up At The rally, theyve been fanning these flames since january. They have, youre absolutely right. Part of it, too, if you look at it from the other side, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, you know, there are not that many leaders who are willing to step up. On the one hand you have a few out there saying this is a lie. You have others out there actively saying that its not a lie. Theyre actively defending and arguing thAt The former president actually did win the election. But youve got this great big middle as well of people who are simply too afraid to stand up and challenge the assertions thAt The former president is making. Weve been talking about Chris Christie and how he was willing to go to the Regan Library and make statements about how the republican party is losing all credibility, needs to actually start recognizing whAt The truth is. But, of course, even he didnt say Donald Trumps name out loud because theyre all so afraid of being attacked by the former president. And all of those things are problems here. Now, if one of these republican members actually shows up At This rally, you know, which is, of course, billed as a justice for January 6th. Remember, all these people have been arrested and charged for either committing violent acts or illegally entering the capitol. This is not a situation where these people have been held for reasons that dont actually hold up. I mean, our Justice System is working the way its supposed to in these cases. But there is so much tension already inside the capitol over what happened on the 6th. Members of congress dont trust each other. If some of these people show up At This rally, i think the repercussions for how our government works and for those tensions inside the building itself are really going to ratchet up. I mean, its already a problem and this would make it so, so much worse. Mel is reporting thAt Two congressional candidates are going to be At This event. Imagine if they win, and then youre a member of congress sitting next to someone in the House Chamber who was at a rally supporting the people who broke into and were legitimately charged and potentially prosecuted in that. You know, lastly, kasie, i want to talk to you about sort of a, lets call it a Tangential Covid story, shall we, but its gotten a lot of attention. And that is rapper Nicki Minaj was not invited to the White House. She was offered an opportunity to speak to a doctor who could answer any questions she has about the Safety And Effectiveness of the vaccine. She got, look, The Crux lets just say The Crux of what she was saying online was she hasnt gotten vaccinated and she wants to do more research. What did you think about that reaction from the White House . First of all, i appreciate your rhetorical handling of that question, brianna, because i dont want to say it either. What are you talking about . Absolutely nothing. I think you captured it exactly right. The White House is in a difficult position here with the way that Social Media obviously has given so many people these giant platforms to talk to their fans, to their supporters. And the biden administration needs people to trust these vaccines if they are going to combAt This pandemic. Thats the beginning, Middle And End of it. Because theyre in charge of governing the country, they have to figure out a way to push back against these issues. And i certainly think that allowing access to White House doctors is a good step. I think the challenge with an invitation, its a delicate thing, right. You dont want to have an invitation, the person coming in and Lending Position to legitimacy. Maybe thats a way to convince her. She comes out and tells people actually, heres what i think now after having seen the evidence and speaking with doctors, et cetera. So i get the bind the White House is in At The end of the day, you know. Governing is really tough, and this is a thorny challenge to deal with. Maybe its worth the risk to have Nicki Minaj Tweet Truth instead of cousins friends. Cousin friend what . Cousins friends testicle gate. I have no comment, john berman. I was teasing you. You went there. It needs to be said. Moving on, if you cant beAt Them, say theyre crazy or senile or losing a step. Rightwing media has this long going fixation with Joe Biden and his Mental Health that frankly ignores the past four years. John avalon with the reality check. In response to revelations in the upcoming Book Phoenix open panic that general Mark Milley was certain trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, exPresident Trump responded last night by calling his hand picked chairman of The Joint Chiefs a nutjob. This is a project and deflect defense. The school yard name, im rubber, youre glue. Its the Signature Move since the twotime loser deflected talent on his opponents. Lying ted and crooked hillary. But were in uncharted territory when it comes to a president who, by the accounts of the people who worked closely with him, had become all but manic and untethered to reality as well as the constitution. When he screamed about Conspiracy Theories and attempted to overturn an election. Now, there is something known as the Goldwater Rule that bars diagnosis of a Candidate Or President s Mental Health by professionals or otherwise. Arm Chair Diagnosis can be dangerous and misleading. It often reflects the partisan bias of the selfappointed analysts. That doesnt mean we should ignore the people closest to the president. Like his former Chief Of Staff who called trump unhinged, a moron according to his secretary of state. Compared to an 11yearold Child who lost a step, a mad man according to communications director. An idiot surrounded by clowns according to his chief economic adviser. This is a very few examples. And im not even talking about trumps awkward celebration of passing a cognitive Assessment Test designed to At The Text Signs of dementia. Hell go, person, woman, man, camera, tv. But given all of this, its perhaps inevitable thAt Trump and his ally ands rightwing Talk Tv would attempt to project and deflect questions about the expresident s mental stability by running a relentless campaign to raise similar questions about the current president. Yeah, he looks weak, frail, and seems to be struggling cognitively. Joe biden is not the Joe Biden of eight years ago. The man obviously lost his train of Thought And Couldnt recover it. Whats on the note card, joe . There is a big question as to what is going on with Joe Bidens mental acuity. He tends to latch onto one Idea Or Phrase and repeats t. And stammer around for a little while. This is called perseveration. These are signs of senility. Fox news described biden as senile 47 times over the past two years, invoked Cognitive Decline 48 times. Raised the spectre of dementia 22 times. And used the euphemism confused 157 times. So much for the Goldwater Rule. This isnt subtle and these are just some of the phrases that could be picked to make the same point. Alexis nexus doesnt keep transcripts for all Fox News shows. But the theme is clear and consistent with the russian Disinformation Campaign deployed against biden in 2020. Look, Biden And Trump are americas two oldest President S. Thats a fact. But there is a fundamental difference between opponents making accusations and a president s own aides and appointees repeatedly warning of a dangerously unstable and unfit man in the office. A president who represented a threAt To national security. What is striking is how trumps hard core supporters believe they know their man better than the people who actually know him. They seem willing to follow him past facts to the point of idolatry. This has real implications for our democracy as a new Cnn Poll shows a 54 of republicans believe there is solid Evidence Biden did not legitimately win the election. There is, in fact, no evidence to that effect as more than 60 court cases have established. But they have bought into the baseless Big Lie hook, line and sinker. Look, all the what aboutism in the world cannot deflect from the Fact Donald Trump tried to overturn an election, tried to destroy our democracy just to soothe his own fragile wounded ego. And the Reason Isnt just awful history, its that he seems to be his partys front runner in the next election, and thats why this cant be ignored. And thats your reality check. Absolutely the front runner At This moment, and absolutely true according to this Book Peril the c. I. A. Director said he was like a sixyearold with a tantrum. John avalon, thank you very much.

Tomorrow Fda Vaccine advisers will meet to discuss whether Booster Shots are necessary for fully vaccinated americans. Local Health Departments across the Country Scrambling for a potential Covid19 Booster Rollout as soon as next week, but there still does appear to be some confusion. Is there a clear answer to whether or not a booster is necessary . There is not, which is why were having this public discussion on friday with all of the data out there that everybody can look at. You know, if we were an authoritarian country, we would have just told you the answer and that would have been that, but thats not how we do things. Thats the director of the national institutes for health. And this is cnn chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta. Sanjay, look, the fda has a ton on its plate. This discussion over Boosters Tomorrow will be fascinating to watch. And there have been a series of new studies that just came out in regards to this. Its hard for the layman to parse through it. Explain whAt These studies show. Yeah, i mean, youre going to see why this is a bit of a muddy issue here. Unlike last year when the vaccine were being authorized, the data was pretty very, very clear then. But let me show you here. This is some data coming out of Israel Ministry of health. I think this Bar Graph makes the case. I hope you can see this well enough. Basically this is broken down by month. People got vaccinated in january At The left, february, march, april. You see those graphs there. What youd expect if the vaccine effective nets is waning is that january would be the lowest, right. It would have the lowest effectiveness. Higher in february, then march, then april. When you look At This graph, march actually has the most vaccine effectiveness. April actually goes down. Why would that be, right, if this is a question of the vaccine waning over time. April should be the highest and its not. You see thAt There. Also those black lines in the middle, those represent something known as Confidence Intervals, how confident are you in the number there. You can see thAt The Confidence Intervals overlap a lot which means thAt The data is pretty muddy there. And i think thats whAt The fda, you know, panel is going to have to sort of sift through. Quickly, there was a study that came out of the new England Journal of medicine. Now that boosters were given in israel, whAt They found was 12 days, starting 12 days after, they seem to reduce the rate of confirmed infections by 11. 3 times. Rate of severe illness by close to 20 times. But again, 12 days after, is that enough time to really see if these boosters are going to have longterm benefit or not . Many critics have suggested no. So this isnt necessarily a question of equity. We should be sending the vaccines elsewhere. This is really a question, do we need them or not. And if we use these if were using antibodies, for example, as the metric, then does that mean every six months we would get another booster. I dont think the evidence is at all clear on that yet. So, last Month President biden made this announcement thAt There is going to be a booster, and then youre seeing this kind of staggered ability to even do it when it comes to pfizer or moderna, and certainly johnson johnson. What sort of data are we getting from Pfizer And Moderna . Yeah, well, let me show you the pfizer data and preface by saying it is pfizer data. It is from pfizer. Basically whAt They are showing is roughly every six weeks youre getting a drop of efficacy against any kind of symptomatic illness. So, you know, people may come in with very minor symptoms, all the way to severe symptoms. And you see this sort of this downward trajectory of the overall effectiveness. But, again, when you look At The data more carefully as weve done, if the question is how well does this protect you against severe illness, overall it stays very stable at around 96. 7 . So the good news in all this is that for people who have been vaccinated, the vaccines continue to work really well. This is really a question of should some people, probably not the entire population again, according to the data were looking at, should some people also receive a booster shot. And thats whAt The fda is going to way in on. As ive said since the beginning, Weve Traded Emails about this. This is not a slam dunk. Scientists are providing compelling reasoning on both sides of this argument. Sanjay, what are you going to be looking for tomorrow as they have this discussion . Well, first of all, i want to see if there is any new data being presented that we havent seen because as dr. Collins said, this is an open discussion still. But At The same time, the White House did come out a few weeks ago and say, hey, this is happening. And, in fact, they even put a date on it. This is happening starting september 20th. They seem very convinced of the need for boosters. And weve looked At The data thats out there and ive just presented some of it to you. Its still muddy. Is there something new out there . If they do recommend boosters, are they going to recommend it for a specific population, people over the age of 65 or 65, for example . Maybe you can make the case a little more strongly. Let me show you one more thing if i can. Israel, because weve often looked at israel as a Living Lab for whats happening here, and a lot of the data thats being presented is from israel. You know, israel is a very vaccinated country. 63 of the country is vaccinated. Theyve been doing boosting for sometime now. And the Case Rates right now are higher than theyve ever been. My point is that if may not be appropriate to say, hey, look, the boosters are going to bring down Case Rates or bring down breakthrough infections. Vaccines prevent people from getting sick. Thats the Bottom Line, and they do a really good job of that. Yeah, and from dying, right. Its incredible, incredible the effect of these vaccines. Dr. Sanjay gupta, thank you for that.

Acclaimed gymnasts, simone biles, Aly Raisman speaking out about sexual abuse allegations against former Gymnastics Doctor Larry nassar. To be clear, i blame Larry Nassar and The System who aid his abuse. I ask you to please do all that is in your power to ensure these individuals are held responsible and accountable for my initial report, for lying about my initial report, and for covering up for a child molester. This conduct by these Fbi Agents, including the Special Agent in charge who are held in high regard and expected to protect the public is unacceptable, disgusting, and shameful. If we dont do all we can to get these facts, the problems we are here to address will persist. And we are deluding ourselves if we think other children can be spared the institutionalized Tolerance And Normalization of abuse that i and so many others had to endure. Joining me now is threetime olympian and olympic Gold Medallist Dominique dawes. Thank you so much for being with us. This was such powerful, courageous testimony. What was it for you what was it like for you to listen to this . It was heart wrenching, you know. I watched it with my husband and my twins that were home, my other kids were at school. And i did a couple of interviews and afterwards broke down and i was completely on the floor crying because i felt for these young women. Their bravery as you mentioned, their courage to speak their truth, and to know that using their voice is going to make sure thAt The culture of the sport of gymnastics is going to change. Its the Toxic Culture that allowed Larry Nassar, someone that i knew for nearly ten years of my childhood, thats what allowed him to get away with what he got away with, with hundreds and hundreds of young girls. You know, it was so interesting to me thAt These are people who clearly are used to taking on challenges. But this is something even different. This is taking on a system. This is taking on the fbi, right . Go ahead. No, its very sad to know we knew about the level of, lets say corruption with usa gymnastics. We knew about the toxicity of the culture of gymnastics. These young girls were being abused and you would think they spend more time with their private coaches than they do with their own parents. Were didnt they feel comfortable enough to speak up to their coaches . Ask yourself that. Theyre right there. And now the fbi dropped the ball. It was a great deal of greed. The sport of gymnastics is about Medal And Money and that greed trickled over in regard to the fbi. What does that say to you thAt The Fbi Wasnt is there . Worse than wasnt there. In some cases to hear mikaela am roney, this was pure malfeasance. She said in one of her statements, the Fbi Agent said, is that it . You know, thats why so many victims of all levels of abuse are afraid to come forward because they are there is this belief thAt They wont be believed, or was it really that bad . And even someone brought thAt To my Attention Bwhen i had spoken about the different abuses that go on in sport. Go to gymnast alliance. Many gymnasts around the globe have been speaking out about the toxicity of the sport. Not just abuse. The mental, psychological and verbal abuse that leaves longterm ill effects on people for the rest of their lives. I think thats where many victims dont want to come forward because they dont think theyre going to be heard.

The biden administration is defending the chairman of The Joint Chiefs general Mark Milley after it was reported in a new book that milley made Phone Calls to reassure chinas top general without then President Trumps knowledge, and that he tried to limit the possibility of trump launching a military strike. Here is white House Press Secretary Jen Psaki speaking about this yesterday. What i can assure you all of is thAt The president knows general milley. He has been chairman of The Joint Chiefs for almost eight months of his presidency. Theyve worked Side By side through a range of international events. The president has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, and his fidelity to our constitution. Joining me now, republican congressman from illinois, Adam Kinzinger, he serves on the foreign Affairs Committee and the Energy And Commerce committee. Sir, thanks for being with us this morning. You bet. Look, i just want to ask you first, how do you view milleys calls to general li of china . Look, i really want to hear from general milley on this. You know, what we have now is leaked excerpts. I can talk in theory here. If if there was a real concern about, you know, some kind of Flash Point between china and the United States, a back Channel Communication is not a bad thing. However, ive got to be honest with you. The idea that china was scared that Donald Trump was going to launch a nuclear weapon, or thAt There was all this fear, general milley could easily have Set Up, as supposedly he did, hey, were not going to launch nukes in an Mworld Kind of war. I have to tell you truthfully whAt The chinese and the russians thought of Donald Trump. Not that he was a Loose Cannon that was going to launch nukes, but a guy that wasnt scared to take action anywhere. It is important since general milley is in a position, for us to get a full accounting of what happened. I think its appropriate for the general to have unilaterally called china unless there was a real fear, and we deserve to know whAt That was as well. There isnt a lot of chatter about russia in this book. But when it comes to china, you know it was President Xi that was sitting at maralago with President Trump when he was launching a Missile Strike against syria, which certainly would have left an impact on a World Leader to see the president of the United States do that over a piece of chocolate cake. You know, it sounds like maybe there was some concern for them to be jittery, no . Well, lets keep in mind that was one of the weaker strikes against syria. It didnt really have an effect at all except more kind of psychological for us, not even against syria. Look, i mean, this is why i think we need more answers to this. Like i said, if this was an appropriate thing for the general to do, and maybe it was, that means there was some real deep concern. But otherwise, you dont Reach Out and call our enemies like this. And so, you know, look, the Bottom Line is January 6 was an awful day. January 6 put us in a very weak position which is why i called for the 25th Amendment to be executed immediately because i thought for a couple weeks we basically felt like we didnt have a commander in chief. But we have to be really, really concerned with maintaining the Civility And Control over the military. Thats why we need more answers, i think. Lets talk about that, because milley thought that Trump Postelection and certainly post January 6, was in a state of mental decline. What is your reaction to learning that . I dont disagree. I mean, again, this is why i said i think the 25th Amendment needs put into effect here. Not as some kind of Pay Back for January 6, but because during that Twoweek Period between inauguration and from January 6, it really felt like we didnt have a leader At The head. All you have to do is look at Donald Trump praising general Lee Today and saying he would have won afghanistan. You know, Donald Trump excited, in essence, that we failed in afghanistan because he can now point and say he didnt do that, even though we all know he led to the setup of what happened in afghanistan. Look, The American i have to just say, you know, The American people deserve way better than whAt Theyve had. Joe biden is a decent man. I fully think he failed and botched the afghanistan withdrawal. Donald Trump Set that up. And were stuck in this like matrix of belief that if we dont like Joe Biden, we have to go with Donald Trump. Like, no. The american people deserve so much better. Were an amazing country. Some pretty eyepopping Poll Numbers we learned of. 78 of republicans said these are potential republican voters, they believe that biden didnt have enough votes to win the election. How do you reverse that kind of mentality . Has the Big Lie won in the republican party . You know, i hope not. I guess if i had the answer on how to reverse it, i probably would have implemented it. I think Heres Part of the problem. You know, after January 6, after this whole Big Lie stuff, people were looking for leadership out of d. C. , and when all of the people if youre base republican voter and all the people you trust are quiet and go along with the Big Lie, or, you know, at least acquiesce to it, you have no reason to believe otherwise. And so it basically ends up with me, Liz Cheney and a few others saying the Election Wasnt stolen. I guess we can be happy a third of republicans dont, but i dont know the answer besides come out and keep saying, ladies and gentlemen, you know, Donald Trump lost, not because the election was stolen, but because he ran an election focused on firing up only the most extreme element of the republican party, and he turned off the Swing Voters thAt Typically used to vote republican, including those in the suburbs near where i live that had been republicans their entire life that would never consider themselves republicans today. Not because theyve changed, but because youve changed. The Capitol Complex looks different this morning. We are seeing fences that have gone up ahead of this rally this weekend. The justice for January 6, justice for J6 Rally as its being called by its rightwing organizers. And most gop lawmakers, i think sitting lawmakers are ignoring invitations to come. Theyre not condemning the rally, though, and there are actually two republican congressional candidates who are going to be in attendance. What do you think it would be like to be sitting in the House Chamber next to a member of congress who supported at a rally people who had broken into or tried to break into the House Chamber .
