Reports we will talk about this and a whole lot more. Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz will join us and also on deck pete hicks, Joe Concha and larry kudlow. Sandra and at the same time President Biden is facing mounting criticism at this hour as his administration struggles to cope with multiple crises at home and abroad. He is now confronting a major Gas Shortage, slow job growth, deteriorating conditions of the u. S. Border and a potential allout war in the Middle East. Hello and welcome to thursday, this is America Reports and im Sandra Smith in New York. My neck, john. John im John Roberts in washington, lots to get to in the next hour, fewer and fuel shortages crippling the southeast and it could be several days before the Supply Chain returns to normal. Here is President Biden a short time ago addressing the issue. President Biden Fuel is beginning to flow to the majority of americans that they service and they should be reaching full operational capacity as we speak. That is good news. They will not be effective at the pump immediately. We expect to see a region by Region Return to normal beginning this weekend and continuing into next week. Sandra Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton is standing by with his reaction to the fuel shortage response. John it but first, Jonathan Serrie is live at a Gas Station in smyrna, georgia. Whats the situation look like there is trip . We are at a quick trip and it just received a delivery of more fuel. The Gas Truck pulled up here and theyve had plenty of gas all morning and have been conducting a steady business here and that is obviously the goal that Officials State and federal are trying to achieve systemwide. Take a look at our drone shot, and you are looking at a Fuel Terminal Station along the pipeline. It offloads the gas from the colonial pipeline and then trucks show up and collect the gas, they take on supplies of gas, and they head out with those supplies to Area Service stations. So thats a sign that things are at least slowly returning to normal. According to Gas Buddy, roughly half of all Gas Stations in georgia, South Carolina and virginia have run out of Fuel Today and in North Carolina more than 2 out of 3 stations have though my car without gas. Some prominent republicans say the impact of the temporary shutdown there should be a Wakeup Call to the biden administration that america needs more biplanes. We continue to push for and support all energy but we also have to have a broad toolbox of things to choose from and certainly this instance shows that. John, federal officials are urging people not too hard Gas Line and not to panic, they say things will rapidly return to normal in communities throughout the southeast. Over the weekend and a possibly early next week. Back to you. John folks set up that quick trip they dont have much of a weight and they actually do have gasoline which is a bit of a on anomaly in some areas. Sandra tom cotton, good to see you. Telling american people and should me we The American people be reassured by what we just heard . No sandra, we shouldnt. Joe biden has been a washington since the 1970s and that we have chaos in the Middle East, inflation in lines at the Gas Pump so hes taking us back to the 70s. This is the result of Joe Bidens policy, we look at our Energy Policy and canceled the keystone pipeline, went through leases with the production of Oil And Gas and its also a result of a failed Product Policy well. It shouldnt be a surprise that criminal gangs are linked with russian Intelligence Services feel emboldened to attack an american company that provides critical Supply Lines for so many american citizens. So this is all a result of Job Mike Joe Bidens failed policies and chickens coming home to roost over the last few months. John senator, this does seem to be a cautionary tale. If russian hackers are simply looking for a few million dollars can cause of entire Fuel Supply in the southeast to collapse and four days, what could a state affiliated actor or a or a Estate Do who really wanted to take down the system. How much damage with that cause . First off i think we need more answers about potential connections with the russian state. Very little happens in russia or in Russias Orbit of influence especially with products or persons who are affiliated with or have been affiliated with russian Intelligence Services. Im also troubled by reports we heard the last few minutes that ransom may have actually been paid to overcome this ransomware that obviously cannot be the case, and i hope thats not the case. We need answers to that first from colonial and second from the biden administration. Obviously what redont like we reward we get more than we dont want to encourage more ransomware meant attacks on our critical infrastructure across the company. Sandra i want to ask you about what we are learning about whether or not this virus was preventable to spreading throughout the world. From that report you can clearly read the initial outbreak became a pandemic as a result of gaps and feelings that every critical juncture of preparedness for and response to covid19, too many countries took a Waitandsee Approach rather than enacting an aggressive Containment Strategy that could have stalled the pandemic. Was not the case . And what are lawmakers doing, what are you as mentors of congress doing to get to the truth about how this virus originated and how it so quickly spread . Sandra, i will say i was one of the earliest voices that urge the w. H. O. Took declare pandemic. And to take aggressive measures early. So we dont have to have long protracted measures and it, when we saw first hand. The evidence continues to first and foremost to the labs in wuhan. Isnt that a coincidence . What a coincidence that this virus started in a city that is larger than New York, just a few city blocks away from labs where they were researching the coronavirus. I mean what a coincidence, it didnt happen in some remote mountain village, thats the chinese communist Party Story but its implausible from the very beginning. John some Breaking News coming from the associated press, the cdc has issued Guidance Today allowing fully vaccinated people to take off the mask indoors in many instances so thats at least a little bit of good news. One of the other questions thats being raised predominately by republican colleagues, whats the connection between Nih Funding and research thats going on at the Wuhan Institute Of Virology and did at any time american scientists share gain of Function Research with the chinese . Maybe it wasnt being conducted at wuhan as dr. Anthony fauci insists it wasnt, nor was that research being funded in china by The Nih, but was that information potentially shared by what was going on in wuhan . We dont have a lot of answers right now. Tony fauci it appeared in front of the senate this week and he did what could only be termed as deliberately mislead or play war games. Said that perhaps he didnt directly fund them, he funded american organizations though that funneled 100,000 american dollars into these labs. Furthermore its a matter of wellestablished Public Record that these labs were conducting gain of Function Research on deadly pathogens. This may have happened in the violation by the order of the White House not to fund such research. Its time for The Nih in general and dr. Fauci in particular to come clean about exactly what kind of ties the government had between the labs and will plan. It may make the socalled experts in science and Public Health in our governments around the world a little bit more uncomfortable. Sandra Senator I Cant even tell you how big that news seems to me. The cdc is going to come out with a brandnew Guidance Today that would allow those who are vaccinated to ditch the masks indoors. This is something that you and your colleagues have been questioning about for some time, while still fully vaccinated, continues to wear that mask indoors. So is this too little, too late . Obviously this is something that perhaps Vaccinated Americans can celebrate. But how big of a change is this going to be if this is the Case Today . Im glad the cdc is finally exercising a little bit of Common Sense. On April 19th all american adults were going to get the vaccine. So if at any time you get both vaccines and almost have the waiting period to be effective, anyone who wants the vaccine could have been vaccinated already and its time we begin to recognize that reality. We get back to normal, take up the mask, stop social distancing and reconnect with family, friends and coworkers and encourage those who havent got the vaccine yet to do so. Talk to their doctor, their family and their friends and get vaccinated as well. The vaccines are amazingly effective, not 100 effective like any vaccine but they are amazingly effective and they turn what could be the Worstcase Scenario into something little more than the flu as the evidence increasingly shows. John lets go to the other big topic of the day and that is the Middle East. This time last year senator, we were celebrating normalization of relations between israel and several arab countries. Israel has a right to defend itself, and other members of the Democratic Party who are saying that israel are terrorists. Whats your take on the situation there and how do we get to this point from where we were last year . Iran feels emboldened and hamas and the Islamic Jihad are in many cases a running catspaw their terrorist proxy. They are trying to get back to the nuclear deal and thats why iran is harassing our ships in the persian gulf, sending weapons that are sailors are having to interdict, and encouraging these attacks. So what should the united states do . First we need to make sure that israel has the full support, and second, we need to make sure that we dont send a dime of taxpayer dollars to the palestinians. The biden administration says they will resume that aid after the Trump Administration stops it. We are currently trying to surrender to the ayatollahs on the nuclear deal and the ayatollah are simply not accepting the surrender yet. We need to make it clear to Terrorist Sponsors that we are not going to tolerate this kind of attack on israel. Be when we could see a fullscale war as Militants Fire more than A Hundred rockets towards israel today. The violence there has killed at least 80 people including more than a dozen children. Now sending an envoy to israel and attempt to cool things down. Israeli troops have been assembling there, it looks like they may go in on the ground. We got 9,000 Reserve Troops that have been called up and we were actually with an Artillery Unit watching what they were doing earlier in the day and they are selling parts of the Gaza Strip as fighter jets, you just heard often the distance, an Explosion Explosion are targeting different hamas decisions inside gaza. There have been a couple of mortar rounds inside of here since we started talking and they are trying to intercept them with Israels Missile Defense system. Heart of the issue is that hamas keeps up this Rocket Fire on the other side of the border, we know that the Death Toll in gaza is rising in more than 80 people are dead. The Infrastructure Damage is being done right now which will take years to recover from it. Some of the towers that were targeted to have office inside of them but there are civilians living there as well. You have thousands of people that dont have a place to live. All of this as the egyptian delegation is in tel aviv, but at this Point Neither Israel or hamas is interested. John Trey Yingst for us among the israeli gaza border. I get back to us if there is any more tonight. Sandra and stay safe. Alejandro mayorkas warning Lawmakers Today that our current Immigration System is absolutely broken as republicans pressed him about the situation on the border. This is a crisis for children. The fact that these kids are making this kind of journey and they are not going to be allowed to stay in this country. Senator, if i may, with the united states of america, 90 of these children have a parent or legal guardian in the united states and they have a claim of fear of persecution. So this is not a problem, your view is this is the way its going to be. Sandra Secretary Mayorkas said he was disappointed. Following President S and republican lawmakers. Theres been growing concerns over possible flooding in the area without the completion of that border wall. John a lot of things that are tied into the whole system. A new campaign to get the Pfizer Vaccine into the arms of young teenagers but is there really a need to do it and will parents go along . And we want that to ban crc. We dont want political advertisements to bribe or belittle our children. John parents fighting back as schools push critical Race Theory. The national debate, stay with us. Our homes value. You can take out 50,000 or more. Use it to improve your home, get the Kitchen Youve always dreamed of, or have the security of cash in the bank.

No, cant you see the sign . Wet. Teddy. Bears. Get ya wet Teddy Bears onehundred percent wet, guaranteed or the next one is on me only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Wanna help kids get their homework done . Well, an internet connections a good start. But kids also need computers. And sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. So why not hook Community Centers up with wifi . For kids like us, and all the amazing things were gonna learn. Over the next 10 years, comcast is committing 1 Billion to reach 50 Million lowincome americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. I hope youre ready. cause we are. President biden dont panic, Number One. I know seeing lines of the pumps or Gas Stations with no gas can be extremely stressful. But this is a temporary situation. John a President Biden calling the colonial Pipeline Crisis temporary saying hes got the situation under control. Still though a lot of people in the southeast finding it difficult to put gasoline in their cars. Lets bring in the host of battle in the land, pete, 113 days into the biden administration and he is a set by multiple crises. Hes got Gas Shortages and inflation on the rise, and unchecked Border Crisis and now the potential conflagration in israel. To use the Golf Analogy it looks like the administration is beginning to leak oil. You are right. If this is the first 113 days, Cant Wait for the next 113 days. But at least he tweets nicely. So all is well. And nothing to be concerned about. This should not be a surprise to anybody. This is weakness personified, socialism on the economic front where you are spending money you dont have four people are dependent on it. You have open borders and no protection ofs sovereignty. You have an administration that is also overseeing the massive proliferation of critical Race Theory in the 1619 Project And Indoctrination in our schools. Why would our adversaries prepared to defend ourselves . You see hamas, you see the communist chinese and what they get away with, its all bad. So its quite fitting that Joe Biden is the one i think he is making Jimmy Carter you look good right now because we are effectively defenseless right now. John youre talking about Race Theory, youve covered a lot on this Program It on this network which is the idea of giving Grant Money to School Districts across the country to teach elements of critical Race Theory. We also heard about this idea of eliminating advanced placement programs In The Name Of equity as opposed to giving extra help to struggling students. This is loud and county public schools which is about 25 miles west of washington, d. C. Listen to what Chantel Cooper said on Tuesday Night to a meeting of the School Board there . We have a tactic that was used by hitler and the Ku Klux klan unsavory, and we could not think for ourselves. Crp is racist, abusive, and thats what we asked for today. We dont want the political advertisement to the little them. Think twice before you indoctrinate such racist theories. Look at me. I had to come down here to tell you to your face that you we are coming together and we are strong. Does africanamerican parents of a schoolchild saying, you cant tell me what is or is not racist. She saying keep crt away from our schools. And then to she said. This is about the color of your skin, versus the content of your character. Content of character is not enough, we need to lead with race. This is not just the suburbs or inner city of washington, d. C. , and New York. I was he was beside himself, and the School Board doesnt want to listen it wont even take public comment. Because of public dollars are enticing radical superintendents to impose critical and white kids are taught that they are privileged and black kids are taught that they are perpetual victims. Its dangerous and evil and parents need to stand up now. John she was pretty strong and will add to the debate. Give us a quick pitch for a Battle In The Holy Land on Fox Nation . If you want to get a sense of whats happening, watch. It gives you the context, who wants to wipe them off the map. Well give you the texture in the context to help you understand where this fight is so important for israel and why hamas must be crushed. John all right, we will dial it in for sure. Pete hedgpeth, thank you. Sandra the head of the nations secondlargest Teachers Union calling calling for schools to fully reopen in the fall. Educators are exhausted. They are working longer hours troubleshooting i. T. Problems and trying to connect with students despite the barriers, whether thats a Computer Screen or plexiglass shield. And if there is an educator in your life you know this. Sandra that was Randi Weingarten and she went on to say that prolonged isolation is harmful to americas students and she said Teachers Union support getting kids back in the classroom five days a week. John I Wonder Why she wasnt saying that six weeks ago. President Biden Meeting with republican senators at the White House, one of trillion Dollar Plans be derailed by rising Inflation Fears . Sandra plus a situation we are watching closely at this hour, Gas Stations on the southeast seeing longer lines and skyrocketing prices. A Fuel Expert ways and on when things could return to normal. Sandra one of the biggest names in Tracking Gas prices warns of fuel might start flowing again but the problem will be around for a while. He will tell a swipe at first this. President biden is meeting with republican senators as he pushes his Tax And Spending spree but it comes amid rising Inflation Fears with median expectations for the rate rising to 3. 4 over the next year. Dagen mcdowell will tell us what this means and she joins us live onset. They are already pricing for it, but Producer Prices and wholesale prices are up for yearoveryear at a record pace. I get chapped when i hear economists talk about inflation because folks at home understand inflation very well. And they also know that higher prices are here to stay. So it could be really horrific if people build in their expectations with businesses and individuals that higher prices are here to stay and are down the road so that informs behavior and thats a problem. Whats going on from the government is the very recipe for a higher prices and inflation. Youths stimulate demands you are paying people to stay at home on unemployment, and you are sending them stimulus checks. You produce supply in terms of labors and goods, and that remains to be seen. This is my opinion with the republicans, they will get on board with what Infrastructure Spending because the vast majority of that 2. 3 trillion plan for the administration is not infrastructure. About the roads and bridges. At 115 Billion for roads and bridges, it may be that . But they want to. 3 trillion. The american families plan, they want to talk about encouraging people not to work. These are for a vast new entitlements that are in that plan and its really welfare because it isnt tied to work at all. We are talking about free universal prekindergarten, free and Child Care for all, and two years of community college. Sandra Dan Henderson is asking whats happening with the Work Ethic, and the scale of facts from the yearlong pandemic shutdowns combined with the governments trillions of payments has Work Ethic in the e new to a tipping point. Describing what we do now as remote and virtual means knowing our attachment to the Prepandemic World Have become tenuous. And dan has written about the kind of new entitlements as well. He points out like those coin from Elon Musk, it was a joke and now is a household. That was a word that Elon Musk used. So trading at home is seen as a job. So there is this Blurring Line between people who are working virtually or not really working at all. But i will quote, and i think President Biden actually use these words but i will quote dana perino, there is Honor And Dignity and work and thats what this country is based on. My issue with Joe Bidens plan or that the democrats plan to the left is that they take decisionmaking away from the individual. Individuals, i think i make the best decisions with my money about my life and about my health. But when you take away those freedoms and say the government, and you lean on the government too much, then that does discourage work. Its like i can sit at home and not have to go to a job and be taken care of, and i dont think thats what america is built on. Sandra we did a segment on this yesterday and i dont know about you, i got a ton of fewer tweets when we did the segment talking about the small businesses that they cant hire, and then b, many of the residents of small towns across america wrote to me about seeing helpwanted signs in small business windows. John i had a meeting with a member of congress the other day who pointed out in a big city like New York, even with the enhanced unemployment, thats not a substitute for work. In some areas of the country where the Cost Of Living is a lot lower, getting the Unemployment Insurance without top up is a half decent wage. So why wouldnt you stay home as opposed to going back to work . Sandra which is why some of these are Red States are eliminating the extended unemployment benefit. South carolina, montana, arkansas and alabama, almost every day some of these Red States are moving towards eliminating this because they arent seeing the incentive to go to work. Surely people are upset by that, about 16 Million people collecting on employment right now. I think that there is a method to this madness. Joe biden says we need to recognize that people will come back to work if they get paid a decent wage and so they are essentially they are trying to force people to pay higher minimum wage. But then you have Jared Bernstein The Biden economic advisor is saying to address washington needs to start offering free Child Care so Thats Part of The American family plan. They are trying to use the Put Predicament of the lack of people willing to work to sell free Child Care. I dont know where it ends. I call my dad on a saturday, and hes like are you sure you are not going to get fired so thats my Work Ethic. I work god knows how many hours a day, but i find selfworth in it and all of you guys, too. Sandra and youtube, degen. John i work all weekend, too.

Coming up we will tell you just how staggering the hack on hundreds of officers and civilian members really was. Plus, this. Speak to you guys are bad, im not supposed to answer all these questions, im supposed to leave. But I Cant resist your questions. Sandra Joe Concha is on deck.

[ soft Music Playing ] what are you all doing in my daydream . Its better than that presentation. A lot better. You know, whether its a fraction or a decimal, its still fun, you know . John our top story, the unprecedented gashed shortage across the east. A Panic Buying is not the only thing to blame for the shortages and the surge in prices. Lets bring in patrick to hana, with the gasbuddy. Com, and app and by website that like Gas Stations couldnt keep up with demand which was knocked offline as a Record Number of users tried to find information about where they could get gas and where the price was going to be. Good to see you today. We saw these long Gas Lines in the 1970s. Have you seen anything like this in modern times . Not so much. We had an issue with the colonial pipeline, and i dont think we got anywhere close to the magnitude that we are dealing with with this event. John if there have been lots of Gas Lines in the past, sometimes they are transient when a Hurricane Or Tornado happens but i havent seen anything this widespread. On gasbuddy. Com just a little while ago, at 12 40 p. M. , you reported that 73 of Gas Stations in washington, d. C. , are without fuel. In South Carolina its 52 , virginia 51, georgia 49. Those are sort of the top five they are. In some of these states, almost twothirds if not three quarters of Gas Stations dont have any gas. How does that happen . It increase very quickly and i think a berry for a burnt pitch, americans suddenly panic. And we had impressive demand numbers, and that was up 20 , 18 , 15 , that is impressive. John i spent a half an hour and a Gas Line yesterday because my wife of course left her car on empty. I made it all the way through the line to the Gas Pump in the guy came along and said, we just ran out of gas. And you are saying on your twitter feed its going to take a while for this to get better . Do you predict that in alabama, delaware, mississippi and West Virginia in week 25 days to before things get back to normal. And in virginia where i live, along South Carolina, North Carolina and georgia, 714 days before things get back to normal. Why so long for some of these states to illuminate the problem . I think a lot of it is the impressive amount of demand. So much replenishment that needs to happen, keep in mind the shortage of Tanker Truck drivers making this even more challenging. Stations are playing Whack A Mole right now stations upcoming demand sucking down that fuel very quickly, but overall i think its going to be a couple of weeks before motorists can put the Gas Buddy app away and drive to the station. For now it continues to be about replenishment happenings lower than it otherwise should. John one quick last question. It took four days for the Gas Supply System in the southeastern united states to collapse under the weight of the Cyber Attack. That is pretty troubling. Absolutely but this type of thing cannot be ignored. John we will see if your predictions are correct and hopefully we will be out of this scene, things soon.

Sandra at a time when President Biden is dealing with multiple crises including the colonial Pipeline Shutdown and the ongoing violence in israel and gaza, trying to limit information given to the press. Heres what the President Said yesterday. Speak to you guys are bad, im not supposed to be answering all these questions. Im supposed to leave but I Cant resist your questions. Sandra Joe Concha is here, and im not supposed to . Whos telling him hes not supposed to questions from the press . That would be has handlers in the White House can medication team. Let me read you a statement. We reaffirmed the timeless and essential role, journalists uncovered the truth, check the abuse of Power And Demand transparency from those in power. It turns out thats not a statement and that the punch line, you have a President Saying hes going to get in trouble if he takes questions from the press and obviously i mentioned to his handlers, Jen Psaki recently bragged to her coworker and that was with cnn and at the Obama Administration as well, we recommend that the president not to questions basically saying the quiet part out loud. As you mentioned before you see these Gas Lines. Jimmy carter, except these are worse. These are a crisis. The the infrastructure is completely and totally vulnerable and, inflation, and the President Should be out where those solutions are and instead hes hiding behind his, her skirts. She recommends again taking those impromptu questions. I want to move into this Breaking News that just hit a few moments ago. Brandnew Cdc Guidance expected at the top of the hour. There will be a white House Covid Briefing where the cdc is expected to ease up on guidance for indoor mask wearing for a for Vaccinated Americans. Could this be Game Changing . Bigtime Game Changing. We are talking indoors and the president of the united states, the Vice President , house speaker, republicans, democrats in congress. The next time they meet indoors, when there is that meeting at the White House and all of those vaccinated officials from biden to harris to mcconnell are all wearing masks. The next time you have a public event like that indoors, take the mask off. You are undermining confidence in this vaccine and by doing that you will inspire confidence by people that are on the fence in terms of getting this vaccine to go and get it because now they see the freedoms that people have if you are vaccinated. No more masculine side even when you are around other people. A big Game Changer. Sandra theyve been facing a lot of pressure, the biden White House to ease up on these restrictions. It was just yesterday when he saw Mitch Mcconnell and Nancy Pelosi sitting in the White House with President Biden, all Vaccinated Americans also wearing their masks and sitting 6 feet apart. So the question is, what message does that sound . Theres Brandnew Guidance and its expected again at the top of the hour. The cdc is expected to tell americans i can drop the mask if they are vaccinated indoors but they are expected to tell you that if you are on a bus, a plane, hospital will come, a homeless shelter, those restrictions will not yet be eased. Two weeks ago they reiterated this guidance. I just wonder what Science Change in the two weeks . We are supposed to get closer to herd immunity, but they will say no, we are not exactly close right now. Cases and deaths are down 80 or 90 , but exactly what is the Game Changer here . And thats the past for here. The White House, and of our doctors Nicole Saphier will be joining us on Breaking News. Great to see you. I thank you very much.

John a Breaking News now, to begin a Brandnew Hour of America Reports, an absolute Game Changer as america and the entire world look to return to normal after more than a year of covid. Good afternoon, im John Roberts in washington. Sandra some big news to come at the top of the hour, and Sandra Smith in New York. We planned a whole show on the Hack Attack that crippled Gas Supply but this is a Brandnew Development and one that can change the lives of for many americans. In an announcement about wearing masks indoors. And if Vaccinated Americans can begin to drop those masks, and the ap is reporting that officials are saying its fine for a fully vaccinated people to ditch the masks indoors except for crowded places like buses, planes, hospitals and other places. Its not clear yet what that means and very importantly, schools. John hopefully we will hear more about that in just a few minutes. Officials will no longer recommend fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors even if they are in crowds. This comes as the cdc particularly as more and more americans get vaccinated. Sandra lets bring in dr. Nicole saphier. There are so many different parts of the country that are receiving this announcement differently. The announcement has not yet happened, but could have been in the next couple of minutes. There are probably some areas of the country that say, okay, and . Because many Vaccinated Americans have chosen to ditch the mask. But places like New York city, everyone is to wearing them indoors, workplaces, stores, Grocery Stores and so on. If you are absolutely right. I keep saying this. The cdc is a month or two behind it and what everyones Common Sense is saying. I wish this update would have come weeks ago with a less anticipated Cdc Update but now is the time. Its time to follow the science. We know Outdoor Transmission is negligible and we know that people can start taking off their masks outdoors, vaccinated or not. Moving forward, lets talk about can we talk about those masks . Im saying, absolutely yes. Of course on the public transportation, subway and buses they still may recommend it just because if a virus is going to spread about threats going to spread. But i really think now is the time to start loosening up even those indoor mandates. John is a couple bulletins, cdc says based on the latest Science Anyone fully vaccinated they can resume activities indoors or outdoors safely without a mask or physical distancing. Fully vaccinated Air Travelers must still get covid19 tests and people should still wear masks that hospitals, longterm care and doctors offices. It looks like dr. Saphier has gone off but hopefully we will get her back. And what did they say . I they are highlighting the prison system. You have a lot of vulnerable people in longterm care facilities, and thats going to be the last place to remove the mask. When we talk about regular places of business, talking about getting people back into schools, and we are not going to may be recommended some Fall And Winter months. And the daily deaths are so low, and thats 100,000 people per day. Now its time to start taking off the masks. Sandra thats a big question. They are wearing masks seven hours per day, but Ted Cruz put out a tweet, and im curious how you responded to this. He has one simple question about the White House, he calls the disseminated new guidance guidance, and its an interesting point. All 6 feet apart, all wearing their masks. So did you know its important as far as messaging and setting an example that he shows that he feels safe taking his mask down in those meetings indoors . I can argue both sides of this. It was a greater optics, President Trump wore a mask even though he knew he tested negative and everyone around him tested negative. And he was fully vaccinated for Optics Sake and it would be great if he removed his mask to show the company just vaccines. But i can also tell you that hes in the names that is a mobile population and we have noticed that in the clinical data, if anybody is going to lose the effect of natural immunity or even the vaccineinduced community, it is an elderly people. And he wants to be overly cautious, to each his own. The science is we dont have to Wear A Mask and we have gotten down to level of risk that has been deemed accessible for decades and we are getting down to a level, the fluid level. Weve been wearing a mask a daily, and i dont think the general population that needs to be wearing mask. But anyone who wants to wants to Wear A Mask can Wear A Mask but as long as they communicate with the people why they are wearing a mask. They cant just say im wearing a mask out of habit, when it is not the cdc recommendations. You have to be truthful, and i think you can gain The American drugs. John let me ask you a question, because people who havent been vaccinated say everyone else is going without a mask and i will just go without one, two to each his own at this point. We have reached a level where you have nearly 60 of adult that have received one dose of the vaccine. With a couple with those who are unvaccinated among them have a national unity thats why you have seen hospitalizations and we have gotten to a very safe place. Because of that, that means that people should be able to go around with or without a mask whether you are vaccinated or not. That was the whole purpose of herd immunity. We dont have to get to 100 of people vaccinated, the goal is to get enough people with immunity to anything. Because we have so many people with vaccineinduced were natural induced immunity the rest of the people are safe as well. I am poor as many people as hot possible to go get the vaccine because the vaccine is prudent to keep people out of the hospital and avoid severe disease and death. Sandra we are told this briefing should be underway shortly. We will have that for our viewers. The cdc according to reuters is expected to may not fully vaccinated Air Travelers, dr. Saphier, is dont get covid19 tests before returning to the u. S. Also people should wear masks at hospitals, obviously very much applies to you. Longterm offices, prisons, and possibly the cdc says based on the way to find anyone fully vaccinated can resume activities. This is safely without a mask or physical distancing. There is no more distancing needed. If they are saying no masses in, then we have to get a place that is saying they are not comfortable distancing as well. You have to estate 36 feet away because i can tell you there isnt data showing on. We are just showing that the vaccines have proven safe and effective. I really do hope that the cdc goes a step further because i dont want to get to the level where we start having forms of discrimination where people are having to shoulder Vaccine Card at the door. At that point we are will start seeing fraudulent Vaccine Cards and at the level discrimination that i dont necessarily agree with. Herd immunity is to protect the herd at which means a enough people get immunity that everyone can get back to normal life. Not just those vaccinated but the entire community can get back. Its important that they talk about that and its important that they distinguish that we cannot move forward with some sort of prejudice that we dont want to shame the people, because people have reasons for not getting the vaccines. We cannot be prejudicial on those who choose not to get the magazine. That is their right. We as a society have gotten to a level where our cases, our hospitalizations and our data are so low that im community is quite productive right. That may go out more money going out over than course of the next year as we still see some of the variance but the good news is all of the vaccines now are showing that they are not having major breakthroughs with the variance and they are protective of them, keeping people out of the hospitals, keeping people alive and that has been the goal. Its time for everyone to get back to normalcy, not just the vaccinated. John dr. Saphier, hang with us because we understand the cdc news, Comic Conferences underway. There we see the Cdc Director dr. Anthony fauci, lets listen in. If you want to sort by the specific vaccines, millions of macdonalds and cops tell you where to go to, vaccines. Gov. Efforts around the country are not letting up and cannot let up. They must accelerate for Everyone Contributing what they have to the effort. Let me close and handed off to dr. Wilensky by reiterating some of the words the President Said yesterday. On July 4th, but, lets celebrate our independence as a nation and our independence of the period of 70 of those with at least one shot by July 4th is a critical Goal Press harder, we can do this. But if you havent gotten vaccinated yet, now is the time. And with that, dr. Wilensky was an important update and where Progress Means for americans. Thank you and good afternoon, please to be back with you today. Lets begin with a overview of the date of yesterday the cdc reported 44,000 new Cases Covid19 Address on the average was about 36,000 per day. This represents another decrease from from our prior 70 average and every day with cases continuing to fall we remained encouraged by these positive trends. The seven Day Average of Hospital Admissions is 4,100. Again, another terrific find with another backtoback and the seven Day Average daily deaths have also come claims to 587 per day. I have several and exciting announcements to share with you. Persons becoming Cdc Director, im committed to upgrading whatever comes next. We are announcing the upcoming release of 7. 4 billion in funding from The American Rescue Plan to hire, train and support Public Health workers from across the country. So with half of the money being released, and expanding our overstretched Public Health departments with new hires to support their covid19 efforts. And at 3 Billion will be focused on preparing the same jurisdictions for future pandemics and to build a public Health Workforce for the future. So with increase in Complexity And Scale in recent years our nations public Health Workforce has gotten smaller. This support will immediately add more Staff And Health departments across the country and will add School Nurses to the k12 school, and authorize people. The cdc academic Intelligence Service officers are the Lead Detective to respond to local outbreaks and curb the pandemic. And the Public Health americorps to recruit a strong, diverse and highly skilled workforce that is ready to respond. It will create new programs for the nations laboratories and preparedness for the future. We are really excited about what this support will mean for the nations public Health Possibility now and through the future. Second, Last Night i endorse the recommendations of the Cdc Advisory Committee On Immunization Practices making the Pfizer Vaccine available to anyone who is 12 years and older. I want to thank the Ac Ip for reviewing the science and providing the recommendations on the Safety And Efficacy of adolescents. Its an important step forward in our efforts to vaccinate as many people as possible and to stop the pandemic. And finally, i want to provide you with an update regarding Cpcs Guidance for fully vaccinated people. Over the course of the pandemic we are continuously gathering data and evidence to inform our guidance and decisionmaking. We have numerous reports and literature that demonstrate the Safety And Realworld effectiveness of the authorized vaccine. On this slide there are three recently published studies, one from israel published in the journal of The American medical association, and two from the united states both published in the Cdcs Morbidity and Mortality Report which also that covid19 vaccines work. And 86 effective, and there are 94 effective in any valuation across 24 hospitals in 14 states. Additionally we are articulating data that are authorized vaccines are effective against the variance that are sick and leading in the country. On this line you can see a study published just last week that demonstrates how effective the Pfizer Vaccine is against the common circulating variance in the united states, b117 as well as other variants like v111. Finally, in the rare event that people get effected, confected after the Vaccine Div resulting infection is more likely to have a lower viral load, be shorter in duration and less likeliness of transmission to others. Considering all of these factors, and growing understanding of the low risk of transmission to others combined with universal access to vaccines for 12 and over, cdc has a updated our guidance for fully vaccinated people. Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities, lowered, large or small without wearing a mask or physical distancing. And we have all want for this moment. We can get back to some sense of normalcy. Based on the continuing downward trajectory of cases, the scientific date on the performance of the vaccine and our understanding of how the virus spread, that moment has come for those who are fully vaccinated. Now if you are immune compromised you most deftly want to talk to your doctor before giving up your mask. Also a location such as Health Care facilities will continue to follow their infectious control but recommendations. And theres always a chance we may need to make a change for the recommendation. We know that the more people are vaccinated the less cases we will have in the left chances of a new spike or emerging. The sciences also unclear about him vaccinated people. We remain at risk of mild and severe Illness Or Death for spreading the disease to other. You should still mask and you should get vaccinated right away. This is an exciting and powerful moment. It could only happen because of the work of so many who made sure we had the rapid administration of three is safe and effective vaccines. They could also only happen because we have an adequate supply of those vaccines for everyone 12 years and older in this country. Your health and how soon you return to normal life for before the pandemic are in very capable hands. If you are not yet vaccinated please go to vaccines. Gov or text your Zip Code to 438829 to find the vaccine in your area. Once you are fully vaccinated, thank you. Thank you for a doctor wilensky. Dr. Wilensky has spoken to you about exciting issues that we can all look forward to. We are talking about the future and where we want to go. Back on that first slide. This is something that has been discussed now for some time. These two articles are in the late press, asking about the possibility of the Universal Coronavirus and the other in Science Magazine by john cullen. What does that mean by Universal Coronavirus . This is the Phylogenetic Tree of the coronavirus is. The ones in Red Font are Human Coronavirus and the four that have yellow highlighting, those are the four viruses that account for anywhere from 515 of the common cold that we all get each year. In 2002, you had at Sars Kobe and in 2012 you had the mers coronavirus. The first indication that coronavirus was capable of pandemic potential. Now on the next slide as you see we are dealing with a very difficult situation of the historic pandemic. So what people are asking is can we actually coming conceptually and in reality get a Coronavirus Vaccine . There have been a number of forays into that using different types of Vaccine Platforms but there was a recent paper published that i want to spend just a minute on because it is potentially exciting and is Proof Of Concept. The paper appeared just a couple of days ago in the journal nature, and what it is was the development of Neutralizing Antibodies for both Pandemic And Preemergent coronavirus is this was a strong suggestion that a Pin Coronavirus might be possible but the investigators at Duke University found out was that a specific highly site, makes them highly vulnerable to cross Neutralizing Antibodies. With that observation, what they did was they designed and Nanoparticles Vaccine and that was shown on the slide 24 copyists of this Receptor Binding Domain and added an adjuvant to boost the immune response. And so in monkeys the Nanoparticles Vaccine completely blocked the Sarscov2 Infection and elicited higher neutralizing fencing with current vaccines all with natural infection. But importantly, which is the crux of this discussion, is that the vaccine elicited cross Neutralizing Antibodies against bad coronavirus is, human sarscov2 one, sarscov2, and in though those experiments are conducted on a Nonhuman Primate and you also have to have a caveat when youre dealing with a Nonhuman Primate, nonetheless, this is an extremely novel Proof Of Concept that we will aggressively pursuing as we get into the Div Element of human trials. So i will stop there, back to you, andy. Thank you dr. Fauci and dr. Wilensky. Lets take questions. I know everybody probably has a lot of questions today, so please one question each. Thank you for taking my question. Im wondering what this means about social distancing, what this means about your guidelines for schools and workplaces, and also what you think this mask of change might for incentives. Whether it will incentivize people to get vaccinated or people who have been resistant, now they have no reason to get vaccinated. Dr. Wilensky . I want to be clear that we followed the science here, while it may serve as an incentive for some people to get vaccinated, thats not the purpose. Our purpose here is with the public Health Agency to follow the science and follow where we are with regard to the science, and of course this guidance is just for individuals who are vaccinated the debt and what they can do, and we have work ahead of us in terms of updating our guidance with regards to all of our settings with tools and that will be the work we had ahead of us. Next question. My neck, thanks for taking my question. You mentioned the science and i know its been about 16 days since the cdc last updated its guidance on masks and we also saw heavy criticism. Has the science really changed in 16 days or is this a response to public criticism . Thank you for that question. Several things have happened in the last two weeks. In the last two weeks the cases in the country by a third. In the last two weeks weve had increasingly available vaccines and we now have available and eligible people between the ages of 12 and 15. And we have had a convalescence of more science that have emerged in just the last week. The science has been in three areas, one is the effectiveness of the vaccine in general and the other is the effectiveness against variance, which was just published last week. Then the effectiveness in preventing transmissibility. Its become great. If someone could get some water. Next question. Kaelin collins, cnn. My question is for you dr. Wilensky. He said regardless of gathering size and even indoors you dont have to Wear A Mask. I noticed you did not list exceptions beyond Health Care Providers i believe so does this mean vaccinated people can take their mask off on an airplane . So right now. Thank you for that question. Right now we still have the requirements to Wear A Mask when you travel on buses, trains and other forms of public transportation. And we will continue to update our guidance with policy as science emerges in right now for travel, we are asking people to continue to wear the mask. Lets go to Mona Austen at the urban radio report. Thanks so much for taking my question. Im wondering if youve given any thought to extra measures to help africanamerican parents and perhaps embedded fear of forgetting their children now vaccinated, since there was such hesitation in the africanamerican community throughout the pandemic. Do you want to start with that . We recognize that we have had to do extra outreach in many different kinds of the trusted Messenger Campaigns that we are doing, having vaccines available in local pharmacies and having vaccines available with local pediatricians and now the availability of the vaccines from 1215yearolds, we are but for parents to get their children vaccinated, absolutely. Let me add a couple of majors. We are having a massive impact, all questions that people have a reasonable whether its for themselves or their children. Individual communities, thats why we have created a whole set of people and communities that can answer questions. The only thing that we should make sure people do is ask a trusted physician, ask clergy, ask a Pharmacist Or Someone reliable and trustworthy about getting vaccinated, dont go online to some social Media Site and get whatever you get. We can make sure that those questions can get answered. And she said people were looking at her funny for wearing a mask even though shes vaccinated Theres Nothing wrong with that, and should people be side eyeing them . Not at all. People have to make their own personal choice. What you heard from dr. Wilensky is the recommendation based on science and that is just a recommendation. When people want to do that, they at least have the science behind them and theres absolutely nothing wrong with an individual who has a certain level for Risk Aversion as we know the risk is extremely low at getting infected if you are vaccinated, whether you are indoors or outdoors, but there are those people who dont want to take that bit of a risk. And Theres Nothing wrong with that and it should be criticized. Dr. Walensky, any thing you want to add a Question Mark john its a there is the daily new briefing on mask wearing for people who are fully vaccinated whether they are outdoors or indoors in most places, they can take the mask off with the exception of certain Transportation Facilities like planes, trains, buses, maybe hospitals, other crowded spaces like prisons. They didnt say anything about Shopping Malls and i guess maybe that will be up to local authority or how the stores feel about it because without asking somebody to see the Vaccine Card how do you know if theyve been vaccinated or not . I wouldnt be surprised if they would still be some requirements for squaring indoors just as a precaution. Sandra i think thats a really important point. Lets bring in dr. Nicole saphier. Thats a great point because while the cdc, this is just a guidance. Of public companies can still decide such as Grocery Stores to say and keep their signs up, you must be wearing a mask to enter. There is that, but i will tell you the Number One thing im wearing dont like hearing from you is as we take all this and is, what about kids, and to all those kids who havent been vaccinated yet do they still need to wear their masks outside . That was not addressed. I said this before, they are still playing it safe. What about the unvaccinated . Are we going to take people on their Honor Code that they are vaccinated or are we starting to check Vaccine Cards at the door . Thats great that they have finally said if you are vaccinated to come and take up your mask. Indoors and outdoors, the data has been there. I left at the question when they said did the Science Update or was this from Media Pressure . Im pretty sure a lot of that data has been available for longer than the 16 days but i digress. Unfortunately they are still not addressing about the unvaccinated people and i think businesses are going to have a really hard time living forward with this unless they are going to mandate that their employees and all of their patrons are coming in are vaccinated, how will they say that people can take up the mask unless the cdc helps guide them in that. They specifically didnt say anything about schools or Summer Camps, they were asked about that and the only response was we will continues updated. Unfortunately thats not good enough, summer is around the corner. Right now parents are enrolling their children in Summer Camps and they want answers. We talk about vaccinating our children, will it become mandatory for them to become an in Person School . Should it be . Thats a huge debate. I for one dont think young children need to be met vaccinated to be back in school without their masks on. I think mask wearing seven or eight hours a day can be detrimental to their learning and if the teachers or other stomach those who are vulnerable have been vaccinated we know the risk amongst children is low and s dr. Fauci said, those who have been vaccinated, they have a shortened infection and its less severe. We are keeping people out of the hospital so maybe its time for those unvaccinated, specifically those little kids to dig up their mask. John and a half an hour ago, sandra pointed it out a tweet by Ted Cruz who will be coming up in the next couple of minutes that he will be curious to see whether the president will wear his mask or not. But dr. Fauci had some interesting news. It was couched in some pretty heavy science but this idea of a panCoronavirus Vaccine, and that code is to result in acute respiratory system. Sometimes. Im happy he was talking about the Coronavirus Vaccine and i go up into it a lot in my book. The universal Coronavirus Vaccine is not a new concept. Operation Warp Speed was able to put billions of Dollars Investment into these vaccines initially that really gave him the impetus and vaccines and all the momentum is here. Its going to keep going so i can guarantee they are not going to stop until they have a successful useful Coronavirus Vaccine which the entire world will benefit from. Sandra i was looking at some updated statistics on the number of american children that are still not back for full in class learning, dr. Saphier. 39 of k12 students are attending Hybrid Schooling and thats almost one in three k12 kids that are not back in the classroom full day. So i go on to say that its important to continue to update this guidance because we didnt hear anything about what happens with the schools. Nonetheless, Cdc Director wilensky said dr. Saphier, this is an exciting and powerful moment. Now how much does this bring us back to normal . Its great news and its great for them to start to say how can we start taking off her masks . I think this is a great step forward in regards to the children, and i think unfortunately, we need the cdc to really utilize all resources out there. There have been a plethora of private schools, Charter Schools and even some public schools that have been open in person full time since. Why arent they knocking down those doors saying, how did you do this . They will have the longest Term Damage if we continue to delay this, and they are international studies, and fulltime in person and get rid of those. Sandra dr. Nicole saphier, thanks for staying with us. John we just got a bulletin to that apparently the Cdc Directors say that they will update Travel Guidance shortly. So maybe well hear something about people that are vaccinated being able to take off the mask. Lets bring in Republican Senator Ted Cruz. And what are you thinking about the fact that fully vaccinated people can go mask will scan many situations . Its about time, that we shouldnt be not be playing politics and from the beginning of covid theres been far too much politics connected to it. The extreme on either side, and i would never Wear A Mask on an Airplane And Kit should be in school in Person Today in the science is unequivocal on that. They were also playing politics on masks, that it never made any sense once you are vaccinated to Wear A Mask and unfortunately biden and harris kept saying Wear A Mask, Wear A Mask, and and stop the spread of the disease and it ought to be voluntary. You should be encouraged to get the vaccine and one of the great virtues when you get the vaccine, you can take the mask off and return to regular life and that should encourage more people to get the vaccine. Sandra we are thankful the mask helped us when they needed them and we are also thankful for that many americans will be thankful for the day when we can put them down. Senator, two hours ago it struck me, a tweet that you put out. Four months into the Biden Presidency and we already have, and you checked off at a Border Crisis, a Gas Crisis and a middle or in the Middle East. How would you characterize the politics of this moment. The first four months of the biden administration have been the most radical of any administration in history. Unfortunately Joe Biden has decided to hand over the agenda to the extreme left in this party so the people driving the substance are bernie sanders, elizabeth Warren And Aoc and we are seeing 6 Trillion in new taxes proposed, we are seeing the border, absolute chaos, the worst in 20 years and its getting worse and worse because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to enforce the law. And we are seeing domestically a crisis. We are seeing economically a crisis and the inflation that is coming. And when you spend 6 Trillion we dont have any print the money you create inflation. Im not abroad, in just a few Months Biden has managed to undermine our friends and allies to undermine israel and send hundreds of millions of dollars to the palestinian authoritys and hamas and promise the ayatollah billions of dollars. Whats a reward for that . Hamas is raining rockets on israel with money that comes, and we are seeing crisis after crisis after crisis because the bidenharris policies are radical and extreme that they dont work. John senator, we are just getting some news in from our Jerusalem Foxborough and it may not just be hamas that is raining rockets down on israel. Devorah lenski reports that rockets have been fired into israel from lebanons territory. It has the law which is also supported by iran is now getting involved, where could this go . We are reflecting in a different place the next six months. America stands unequivocally with Israel And Weve moved our embassy to jerusalem, i was there the day we opened our embassy. We pulled out of the disastrous iran nuclear Deal And Something else that i urge the president to do. It produced this incredible blossoming, this flowering of peace and it produced the abraham accords. I spoke with the foreign ministers and ambassadors of Bahrain And Uae when the abraham were assigned and they said its clear that america stands unequivocally with israel. We want to be friends with america, so therefore we will be friends with israel and thats exactly what i urge the Trump Administration. If we are clear and there is no ambiguity, we will make It Friends to enemies as we stand. We there is an act we passed called the taylor for sock. Taylor force act. He was killed by terrorists in israel and hamas since money every year to the families of the terrorists who Murder Americans and murder israelis. The Taylor Force act says we wont send Taxpayer Money to any government or any organization who pays terrorists to Murder Americans and murder our allies. Joe biden decided to ignore that law, violate that law and so he has resumed sending over 100 Million to the palestinian authority, and to hamas, that lesson is not lost on any of the terrorists and right now they are raining rockets down on israel with impunity because they dont believe Joe Biden or Kamala Harris will do a single thing about it. Sandra i wonder what your messages to those members of congress who are criticizing the biden administration including Alexandria Ocasiocortez criticizing the president for standing with israel, and also Rashida Tlaib, another member of the socalled squad claiming israel is reporting Racism And Dehumanization under apartheid systems. Unfortunately, that is the Driving Force in todays Democratic Party. Its the angry socialist left. Aoc and Rashida Tlaib and ilhan omar were tweeting things that are frankly indistinguishable from what they have would be saying if they were actually the Press Secretary and im reminded of something that prime Minister Netanyahu set a number of years ago, and over the years prime Minister Netanyahu and i have become good friends. He made the following observation. He said in israel you use the missiles to defend our citizens. Hamas uses the citizen to defend our missiles and they are literally using palestinian children as Human Shields that they want to murder israeli children with. They have members of the united States Congress that basically operate as shills for terrorists, and and after a while, we say, its not subtle and its ugly to see in the united States Congress. John we are getting an update on what i told you a moment ago about rockets being fired and we dont know which town it is, three rockets were fired, apparently no casualties. Let me just switched if i could to the Gas Shortage and, the thing with the pipeline didnt have anything to do with the Green New Deal. It might at some point in the future, and with just a single push of the button. If there is no doubt that there are real threats to the critical infrastructure and Cyber Attacks from russia, china, Iran And North korea. We need to do much more to secure the infrastructure. In connection with the a Green New Deal, it is a vision that on Day One of the White House the Joe Biden shut down the keystone pipeline. They are doing everything to shut down the Oil And Gas production in the united states and we are getting a foreshadowing of what the world of the Green New Deal is like, shutting down one pipeline and suddenly People Cant get gas to put in their cars to go to work. Thats just one pipeline. This is what biden and pelosi are trying to do for the country. We need to be instead of expanding american energy and independence. Today america is the Number One producer of oil in the world and the Number One producer of natural gas. That changes the geopolitical chessboard which used to be dependent on the Middle East for Oil And Gas and now we are the energy superpower. Joe biden and Kamala Harris are trying to mess that up. Let me say one other thing also, one of the real Challenges Israel faces right now is there Iron Dome was, the interceptors, are taking out these rockets one after the other after the other. I will tell you something Joe Biden could do today to show a decisive president ial leadership, he could stand up and say we are going to replenish israels Iron Dome missiles. These missiles are never aimed at people, they are aimed at incoming rockets that are trying to and thats an adequate supply of Iron Dome missiles. Sandra finally from the crisis in the Middle East to the ongoing crisis in the southern border, its been 50 days now and counting that Kamala Harris has been put in charge of the situation at the border. She hasnt held a News Conference or visited the border but i know you are calling it at dereliction of duty. What should happen next and, if she continues to ignore the situation or not visit the border or not hold a News Conference, how about does it get . There is zero leadership right now to solve the problem. The approach of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is to pretend that the crisis doesnt exist. We brought a group of 19 senators down over the border to see firsthand whats happening. Ive been to the Rio Grande Valley many times representing the state of texas and ive seen never seen it remotely this bad. Every month is higher than the month before, and we are on a path to see how many 2 Million people here are coming illegally. We have people packed in Overcapacity Cages and abiding cages on bigger and more full than theyve ever been in the midst of a pandemic where covert positivity is over 10 . If someone put Kamala Harris in charge of a hot Dog Stand ended 50 50 days, shes done nothing. She literally went to the canadian border in New Hampshire before shes gone to the southern border. I joked, last i checked there are not thousands of canucks streaming across our northern border. And there is a Reason Sandra that neither Biden Nor Harris want to go to the southern border, because if they know if they come that Tv Cameras will follow. And they cant solve the problem. The way they solve the problem is to result in building the Wall And Return to the remain in mexico policy, and a successful international agreement that President Trump negotiated that resulted in last year we have the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years. Pause and reflect on that. We know how to succeed in this because last year, remain in mexico produced the lowest rates in 45 years. Joe biden in this Verse Week in office written and international agreement to pieces and it was causing this value. The reason that vitaminhere is going to coming from is far less radical activists than they want given that, there is no solution to this crisis until they admit their policies are wrong and that they are hurting people. Its not humane. Children are leaving the family is on the income is women are being sexually assaulted, and disease and running. This is a humanitarian crisis and it is Joe Biden and his decisions that have caused. Sandra its a lot. Its a lot happening at a lot for The American people to see happening right now. Senator cruz, thank you for all the time this afternoon. Thank. What he was saying were people waiting across the Rio Grande 178,000 people compared to 17,000 last year and of course, covid played into that as well. Some breaking this on that and as you just said the israeli military confirming the three rockets launched towards israel. No damage, no casualties once the update there. We began the hour with news that the Cdc Updated its mask of guidance, no more masks and doors masks indoors investigates as if you are vaccinated. So a lot has happened in the last 51 minutes. The one we will see how it plays out in terms of where we will be able to go without wearing a mask. Even as we see some relief during the pandemic, the origins of the virus are still in question. Several american lawmakers are starting investigations and demanding answers as to what role a laboratory wuhan, china may have played. For griffin as more for us to come alive pentagon. She was one of the worlds leading researchers on that corona viruses and thats why nih channeled the Grant Money through the Group Picot Health alliance to try to fund the research of this top chinese Virologist Working at the Wuhan Lab. The western press affectionately dubbed her chinas bad lady. That lady. I think it was good research, some of the research at the Wuhan Institute Of became classified. They showed several scientists at dr. Sees lab which came down with flulike symptoms. We have not been allowed access to any evidence, not the u. S. Government or international investigators and so the cleans cant be taken simply on face. Early on in the pandemic she expressed concerns that it might happen but then ruled it out. But then the database of sequences that would answer that question were turned off. And access has been denied. Nih with a nonprofit Ecohealth Alliance was not only Funding Research at the Wuhan Lab for years but also sending research to dr. Ralph barrick who did a gain of Function Research prior to the u. S. Government moratorium on the research. Dr. Barrick showed his result in 2014 with chinas that lady. Dr. Sheedy denies conducting gain of Function Research which makes the virus more avirulent and shows how it can move from animals to human beings, and dr. Fauci denies Funding Gain of Function Research at the Wuhan Lab, but more and more experts are wanting to know whether covid19 came from a lab accident. John at those are being increased asked on an increasing basis. Im sandra not to the crippling top Cyber Attack on our nations biggest fuel pipeline, calls for action from the by the White House and that panic taking hold as millions of americans are still struggling to fill up their gas tanks. John and Columbia Pike want to make pipelines in each market should be receiving gas by Midday Today but even if the fuel is flowing analysts say it could take days, maybe even a couple of weeks for things to truly get back to normal. One Reason Gas in the pipeline flows at about 5 miles per hour, which means it could take up to 18 days to get the normal supply going and that would be an around memorial day. In other words they say the problems are not going to go away just yet. The three the kremlin denies involvement. President biden we do not believe the russian government was involved in this attack. But we do have strong reason to believe that the criminals who did the attack are living in russia. Thats where it came from. Sandra lets bring in retired general jack keane, is the strategic analyst and former Vice Chief of staff of the army. Great to have you here. Good to see you general keane. I have a question for you as far as the biden administrations handling of this. First off, how have they handled this from your view . First of all, pretty poorly in my judgment because we are not being honest with The American people. We got to stop equivocating between russian Government Activity and russian criminal behavior. It is well known in our national securities circles to include our Intelligence Community that Russia Sanctions their Criminal Activity using cyber tools. Moreover, many of the russian government Hackers Moonlight in these organizations on a parttime and sometimes fairly fulltime basis depending on what they are working on. And those are just harsh reality is. The third thing is, given the scale of this operation which we have been talking about for days and our answers are very familiar, with how large this attack really is in terms of its implications, its very likely that russia would have given the okay to this. Now why does Russia Sanction this terminal activity . Why dont they arrest people themselves . Because its in their national interest. These criminal activities are undermining and disrupting democratic societies. Many of whom are adversaries of the united states. We got to link it together. Secondly, we should be sanctioning this russian government now. They are Oil And Gas industry should be paying a price for it, we should be conducting an offense of Cyber Attack against those who attacked us. Im just making the assumption because we have that capability that we are doing it, and its honestly classified if we are. The other thing is we should sanction the companies that are supporting the Nordstrom Pipeline thats being built between russia and germany. This would get russias Government Attention and to start to curb some of this Criminal Activity which will continue to explode if we just wring our hands and say, the government is not involved. The government is involved. John general, when President Biden said he didnt believe the russian government was involved i was thinking that was President Trump who would have said that there would have been the howls of incredulity from many corners of this nation saying, how could he say something like that . There are some people that think this might have been a Proof Of Concept and at that they proved how vulnerable our critical infrastructure was so that if somebody really wanted to hit us they would know how to do it. These Cyber Attacks using the guise of Criminal Activity are definitely in some cases, particularly when you are going after critical national infrastructure which this is are definitely pathways to better inform the government as to how to do this on a larger scale involved in conflict operations. Make no mistake, if russia and the united states are in conflict they would conduct a massive cyber warfare against the united states. They would have even greater capability in the matter. Sandra general jack keane, thanks for joining us. Good talking to you sandra, good talking to you john. John its been a jampacked afternoon, has it not . Sandra what it has indeed. Here we are talking economy and inflation, lots happening john indeed. A busy week and it busy day and here we go, we roll into friday. John ive got a whole package of masks in my car and im not sure what to do with them. One thing that is to bear watching come of the rockets were lebanon now and israel, and does not indicate that it seems to be a minor incident at this point . We have to keep watching that. And sandra it has been a big two hours, thanks so much to all of our viewers for joining us. John im John Roberts, we will see you tomorrow, for the start of what will hopefully be gasoline filled weekend. Love story Martha John and sandra, thanks very much. Today is the day that you have Basketball Waiting for for a long time, folks. The cdc came out today, how many times over the past year did you wonder when they would make this announcement . They made it today. Theres a lot of qualifiers in here that well talk about a lot. If youre fully vaccinated, the cdc which has been right on some things and wrong on some other things, theyre putting out the message that you can take your
