John catco on tHe not of fentanyl in tHe country and tHe delay to objecting tHe border with canada. Joe concha and Siegel'>Marc Siegel Coming Up. Sandra tHe biden administration reportedly weighing wHetHer tHey should shift guidance on masking up as covid cases surge across tHe country. Welcome. Im Sandra Smith on this thursday in New York, this is america reports. Hello, john. John Game Two Of A doubleHeader. Im John Roberts in washington. According to tHe washington post, White House aides are in talk with cdc officials about proposed messaging to tHe public. One idea is asking all americans to wear masks wHen vaccinated and unvaccinated people are togetHer indoors or in public places. How do you know . Local governments are already taking matters into tHeir own hands as more cities and communities reimpose mandates. Sandra all of this is happening as vaccination Numbers Stall and tHe Delta Variant drives cases. John first, Heinrich'>Jacqui Heinrich at tHe White House with tHe were reportedly having talks about wHetHer to make a change as small as changing messaging around masks or something greater like recommending masks even for vaccinated people. But tHe cdc appearing to snuff out any of that chatter saying tHey have been clear since tHe beginning. If youre an area that has a high Case Rate and low rate of vaccination wHere delta cases are rising, you should be wearing a mask if youre unvaccinated. If youre vaccinated, you get exceptional protection from tHe vaccine, but you have tHe opportunity to make tHe personal choice to add extra layers of protection if you so choose. Vaccination rates showed tHe able to go mask free acted as an incentive to get tHe shot. But with tHe unvaccinated vulnerable, people are not getting severely ill or dying. THe Delta Variant spreads twice as fast. 82 of tHe cases are from tHe Delta Variant and fatalities climbed 50 . Last night tHe president said tHe cdc is likely to change tHeir guidance that tHey released less than two weeks ago saying at tHe time vaccinated kids dont need masks in school. THe cdc is going to say that what we should do, everyone over tHe age under tHe age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school. ThatS Probably whats going to happen. Making tHe vaccine available to younger children is a big priority for regulators, Health-official'>Health Officials and tHe administration. THe president said Last Night He expects that it could become available towards tHe beginning of tHe School Year, potentially late august, september or even october. John . John well keep watching that. Thanks, jacqui with tHe latest from tHe White House. Sandra . Sandra lets bring in byron york. Fox news contributor. Thanks. Good to have you on tHe program. Been awhile. You look at tHe mixed message from this White House. President biden saying if youre vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask. Now reportedly tHeyre weighing a decision wHetHer or not tHeyre going to recommend masking up as this Delta Variant were told now makes up 83 of all confirmed cases. So should tHe biden administration be worried about that mixed messaging or will we see tHem plunge into more Mask Mandates . I think tHey should worry about tHe anger and confuse that a change in tHeir Mask Recommendation will likely cause. First of all, things Work differently in different parts of tHe country. THe virus is different levels in different parts of tHe country and practices are different across tHe country. Look what is happening in l. A. County, in california. THeres just a war going on out tHere. THeres dozens and dozens ofly cities in l. A. County and tHeyre all mad about having to adopt some overall countywide mask policy. Just think of what you would see if tHe biden administration after that initial announcement in may comes out with a new mask policy. Sandra let me get your reaction to this. Jen psaki is holding Her briefing right now. SHe was just asked about thiS Possible decision to tell americans to mask up. Jen psaki said tHeres no decision to change mask guidance. Any guidance would come from tHe cdc. Politically speaking, this is a tough one. Because that Delta Variant is very contagious were told. Not more dangerous but more contagious, byron. We have just over 50 of tHe population vaccinated at thiS Points. THey have not reacHed tHeir goals, tHe administration. No, tHey havent. Although tHe number of course adults is higHer. But tHeres genuine confusion about this that tHe administration needs to address because tHe idea has been that tHe vaccine would Helpfully vaccinated individuals, would prevent tHem from getting tHe disease. THeres a lot of talk now about breakthrough cases. Maybe tHeyre not as serious. If you have tHe vaccination, you wont have to go to tHe hospital or you wont be on a Ventilator Or Die of it. A number of people are saying wait a minute, i thought i was not going to get it at all. If tHe government is changing itS Position on tHe vaccine, it needs to be clearer. Also, if it doesnt know right now, it also needs to be clear about that. Sandra that confusion came to light wHen tHe six democrats that fled texas, who were on tHe Airplane Maskless and ended up testing positive in washington d. C. Statistically, you couldnt Help-but-wonder'>Help But Wonder if tHey were vaccinated how many people could be infected. I want to ask you about Nancy Pelosi calling Kevin Mccarthy ridiculous recommending him for tHe January 6 committee. SHe says tHeres no way. Heres Her explanation. THese people are going to act up, cause a problem and people said to me, put tHem on. WHen tHey act up, you can take tHem off. I say why should we waste time on something aS Predictable. WHen statements are ridiculous and fall into tHe realm of you must be kidding. THeres no way. Sandra with in decision, many republicans calling this all politics, a Power Grab in washington by Nancy Pelosi. Are democrats just showing tHeyre throwing out promises of unity for partisanship . Well, we havent had any unity around for quite a while. Its clear that Nancy Pelosi has step over a line. Even though in tHe house of representatives, tHe speaker has enormouS Power. THe majority has enormouS Power, more so than in tHe senate. Still it was unprecedented to create a committee with tHe minority having tHe authority to appoint its own members and tHen to veto two of tHem. Republicans felt that tHey needed a couple of fighters on tHe committee because it was going to be obviously dominated by democrats because tHeyre tHe majority, tHey appointed tHe majority of members. So representative jordan, for example, was really effective in tHe first trump impeachment. A very, very articulate spokesman against tHe case that democrats had made for impeaching President Trump over tHe ukraine matter. So tHey just Nancy Pelosi clearly doesnt want to botHer with that again. ItS Probably not a good idea for Her to do this. Sandra okay. Well see wHere that goes next. Great to see you, byron. Thanks. Thanks, sandra. Sandra john, i feel like everybody is feeling exhausted from this tHe new cases developing, tHe Delta Variant, questions wHetHer or not tHeres going to be new Mask Mandates. Add to that, questions over tHe effectiveness of tHe Johnson Johnson Vaccine and tHeres a new statement out from J J saying tHeir vaccine, tHe vaccine benefits far outweigh tHe risks. THe cdc reports some problems happening as a result of tHe vaccine. John yeah. THe Side Effect of guillain barre syndrome. An incident of 8. 1 caseS Per million doses. So looks like tHe preponderance of evidence is leaning in favor of johnson johnson. People prefer tHe Pfizer Or Moderna vaccine. Sandra, china rejecting plans for a follow up investigation by tHe Health-organization'>World Health Organization in tHe origins of tHe coronavirus. THe new study would look at links from tHe pandemic to a leak in tHe wuhan laboratory. Chinese officials dismissed tHe Heory'>Lab Leak THeory as nothing more than a rumor, sandra. Sandra tHe crisis at tHe border is having an impact on communities across tHe country. Local officials warn about tHe Increase Flow of drugs. Fentanyl seizures are up 200 . Fentanyl is tHe main drive of Drug Overdoses in this country and 90 is coming over tHe border. Bryan llenas is live in new York City with more. Hi, bryan. Good afternoon. THe amount of fentanyl seized at tHe border but customs and Border Protection is up 78 compared to last year. I spoke with a Special Prosecutor that said massive amounts of tHe syntHetic opioid has moved from tHe border, Smuggled Inside Produce Trucks to new York City, which serves as a Fentanyl Distribution Hub for tHe East Coast. Were on our way to having a Banner Year in fentanyl seizures. That is good. That is fentanyl off tHe street. I worry about what were missing and what otHer people are missing across tHe country. Fentanyl seizures in new York State are on a report pace. Up 236 tHe last year. 806 kilograms of fentanyl. Enough to cool 400 Million people according to tHe drug enforcement administration. THe prosecutor says lethal amounts of fentanyl are being found in every major drug, pills, meth, Heroin and cocaine. Take a look at this image. It show as lethal dose of Heroin compared to a lethal dose of fentanyl. Doesnt take a lot of fentanyl its 50 times more potent than Heroin. THe dealerS Purchasing tHe prepackaged little packs, tHey dont know what is inside eitHer. THeyre turning around and selling it for tHe same price tHey always sold it. In terms of tHe major traffickers, tHey could care less. THeyre merchants of death. During major drug busts, authorities are finding large cacHes of guns. Its Helping in tHe surge of Gun Violence and Helping cause tHe surge of Gun Violence across tHe country. Drug overdoses in new York Stay are up 22 . 75 of tHe deaths involve fentanyl. Sandra alarming numbers tHere. Thanks, bryan llenas. Feels like this is something weve been talking about for some time with more and more people flowing over tHe soutHern border, more and more drugs over tHe soutHern border. That problem is exacerbated by it. John look at tHe fact that 8,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized over tHe border. Its enough to kill everybody that lives in tHe united states almost five times over. Congressman John Katko has reintroduced a bill to Help authorities to crack down on Fentanyl And Fentanyl drugs. He will join us next hour and tHe fact that canada want to reopen tHe Border But Dhs is saying no, not until later in august. Hes upset about that.

John Fox News alert. We return to you. Peter doocy asking tHe White House about tHe department of Education Guidance linking to a group called tHe Work'>Abolitionist Teaching NetWork, which iS Pushing a curriculum of critical Heory'>Race THeory in schools. This was included in a document that tHe Department Of Education sent to School Boards across tHe country on covid reopening guidelines. Heres tHe exchange with Peter Doocy and Jen Psaki. Is tHe administration going to follow up with School Districts to make sure that tHe abolitionists Work'>Teaching NetWork material is not in Lesson Plans . Just to be clear for tHe context, because i know you love context of what youre asking about Here, what your referring to is a citation in a report of which tHere were 1,000 citations. So im quiet impressed. It was an error in a lengthy document to include this citation. This cite does not represent tHe Administrations View and we dont endorse tHe recommendations of this group. I believe its been removed or is in tHe process of being removed. John Fox News first contacted tHe Department Of Education about this friday. We didnt Hear boo about it until yesterday with our reporting on it. THe White House backtracked, this is more than a citation. This was a link to tHe abolitionists teaching web site. Sandra and it was up tHere for months as Mike Emanuel will tell us. Hes going to have a live report on this Coming Up. That moves tHe story forward. It was up tHe link was up since april, john. John Peters Point is what do you do about it now . All of tHe School Boards look at tHe document, clicked on tHe link, might have developed curriculum against tHe Work'>Abolitionist Teaching NetWork and now what do you do about it . No answer for that. Sandra and new video from Los Angeles that shows two men Walking Out of a t. J. Maxx store in broad Daylight Carrying Armfuls of stolen goods. A shopper reported tHe incident. THe men casually stroll out with dozens of items over tHeir shoulders, in tHeir arms. Police say tHe two men have yet to be identified and no arrests have been made. Law enforcement groups are blaming tHe bold acts on new State Laws that lowered penalties for Shoplifting And District attorneys that dont prosecute crimes like tHeft. So its now a misdemeanor charge, right, john . If you steal about 1,000 in goods. THey raised it to just under 1,000. John different definitions of crazy but that is one of tHem to allow people to walk into a Retail Outlet and walk back out with no consequences. What is happening . Sandra and a lawyer says tHe store tells managers dont do anything. Its dangerous to stop tHem. John one Worker was severely injured or killed. Cant remember which. What do you do about it wHen tHe politicians allow this to happen . I dont know. Sandra, virginiabased School Board Meeting getting Heated after tHe board voted against making masks optional for tHe upcoming School Year. Watch this. Youre sitting tHere without masks and you want tHe kids to wear masks. Its not a difficult recipe. Thats what your job is. Do your job. Take tHe masks off our kids and stick to education. John at least one parent called in to support Mask Requirements until all children are vaccinated. Many parents expressed concerns that wearing masks is actually hurting tHeir kids. Not Helping tHem. Lindsey bohan, a motHer of four. SHe was at tHe meeting. Youre very passionate about this. Tell us your thoughts about kids and masks in school. Thank you for having me. I want to say, that was my first experience at a Board Meeting Here in Virginia Beach. I have four children in tHe School System. THe reason why i spoke up or signed up to speak is because tHere was a resolution on tHe agenda to allow for masks to be optional. Thats all we want. We want tHe ability to choose. THe freedom to choose what is best for our children to take in all tHe recommendations and guidance from tHe different sources and make a decision best for our children. We werent at all surprised by tHe vote. We were very disappointed. But out of tHe nearly 45 speakers, all but three including two parents and one doctor, were opposed to mandating masks. So only a very small minority want masks. THe board decided to vote along tHe line, which we knew tHey would and not listen to tHe majority of tHe parents that were tHere are. John so what are your concerns about mask wearing in school . What are your kids telling you . You have four kids in tHe public School System. Yes. So my youngest will be starting kindergarten this year. But my two elementary students, i share two experiences with tHe board from anecdotal experiences that i had. One of we were watching a show about Ancient Jerusalem. You know, tHe lifestyle, tHe culture, tHe way of life in Ancient Jerusalem 2,000 plus years ago. One day my son remarked, those tHeyre so lucky. I said what do you mean by that . He said tHey dont have to wear masks. That was Eye Opening to me. Because even in tHe midst of tHeir trials and things, tHey dont have tHe luxuries like we do. He was He said tHey were lucky because tHey didnt have to wear masks . John interesting. In may at tHe very end of tHe School Year with a couple weeks left, our School Board decided to finally relax tHe Mask Mandate to allow for students to take tHeir mask off outside at p. E. And recess. WHen i told my children that i was excited. THey shuttered in fear. THey have been told for months and months and months that if tHey remove tHeir Heyll'>Mask THeyll have to sit on tHe fence line, be in trouble. THey cannot do it. That was incredibly disturbing to me, to see ratHer than celebrating and rejoicing about tHe relaxation of tHe mandate, tHey were fearful. That was a Red Flag to me that tHeres been some emotional trauma to tHese children that john a pavlovian response. Absolutely. John wHere were Heading with this, i want to play sound from president joe biden. He was asked at a Town Hall Last Night about children going Back To School. He seemed to indicate its inevitable that kids in elementary will have to wear masks. Listen to what He said. THe cdc will say that what we should do is everyone over tHe age of under tHe age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school. ThatS Probably whats going to happen. John we Hear tHe cdc is saying today, lindsey, tHeres no updated guidance on masks that is imminent. Given what tHe president , sounds like its coming down tHe pike. I think its a scary thought that tHe president of tHe united states is making a forecast about what tHe cdc iS Probably going to do. That is a huge Red Flag. Yesterday tHe state of Virginia Out of richmond, tHey said tHeyre going to leave it up to tHe local School Boards to make tHe ultimate decision for tHe upcoming School Year. I think what my message is to anyone that is watching wHerever you are is to get involved at tHe local level. We cannot depend on washington d. C. THeyre too far removed from tHe issue at hand in your local community. For tHe federal government to make some kind of big decision for tHe whole nation is wrong. THe local School Boards make those decisions and people need to get involved in tHeir local communities, wHetHer you have students in tHe system or not. Your taxes go to fund tHe public School System wHerever you are. I spent tHe last 18 months john i was going to say, thats one of tHe reasons why people in local School Boards were so concerned about what happened at tHe Department Of Education with this Work'>Abolitionist Teaching NetWork. We have to leave it tHere. Thanks for your time, your thoughts about for pointing out your concerns about what President Biden said yesterday. Good luck to you. Thank you. Thank you. John sandra . Sandra so many parents speaking out, right, john . New fallout after tHe department of Education Website posted a link to a radical teaching group. THe biden administration moments ago saying that that was done in error and is being removed. THe backlash is far from over and that link was up for months. John plus businesses are trying to rebound after covid rocked tHe economy but cannot find enough Workers. Now President Biden is admitting one of hiS Programs may be keeping people at home. Stay with us. I had tHe nightmare again maxine. THe world was out of wonka bars. Relax. You just need digital Workflows. THey Help keep everyone supplied and happy, proactively. Lets Workflow it. THen you can stop having those nightmares. No, i would miss tHem too much. Whatever You Business is facing. Lets Workflow it. Servicenow. I brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. Those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks [sighs wearily] Here, ill take that woohoo ensure max protein. With thirty grams of protein, one gram of sugar, and now with two new flavors john back to tHe story that weve been talking about this hour. Republicans slamming tHe biden administration and questioning how tHe Department Of Education could have included a link to a radical Activist Group that encourages teacHes to disrupt whiteness and otHer forms of oppression in its school reopening guidelines. THe Department Walking back tHe connection. You saw tHe Press Secretary also just did that telling fox it was an error. Following Fox News Exclusive Investigating Reporting on tHe link, several questions still remain. Mike emanuel joining us now from Here in washington with more. Mike . Good afternoon. Heres more from Jen Psaki on this controversy from moments ago. We dont dictate or recommend specific Curriculum Decisions from tHe federal government. That is and will continue to be handled at tHe local level and we believe that tHe american people trust teacHers to make those decisions, not government. Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton telling fox that tHe biden administration is Stoking Division by pushing boutique racial ideologies on our kids. Republicans say that tHe Department Of Education didnt make a mistake. It got caught by foxs reporting. I cant believe that President Biden is allowing hiS People to do this. THe only thing i can conclude from it is that He supports it. THe american people dont. So far Work'>Abolitionist Teaching NetWork Batinna Love Hasnt responded. But sHes not shy about what Her group wants to do. Were a netWork created to not reimagining schools but a former teacHer and says that philosophy is troubling. Schools should not be indoctrination centers. Our children should be taught that america is great and it should be focusing on tHe abcs and tHe 123s, not tHe crt. THe department of Education Guidance reopening has been distributed to 13,000 School Districts. Leading republicans asking who signed off on including tHe Work'>Abolitionist Teaching NetWork in tHe reopening guide, john. John may have been a mistake but it was not an error. Somebody deliberately put that in tHere. Mike emanuel Here in washington with tHe latest. Thanks. Sandra businesses across tHe country have complained about how difficult its been to find Workers. In a Town Hall Last Night, President Biden seemed to acknowledge tHe extra cash from tHe government is keeping Workers home. Listen. I think it really is a matter of people deciding now that tHey have opportunities to do otHer things and tHeres a shortage of employers. Were ending all of those things that are things keeping people back from from going back to Work. Its interesting to see what happens. Sandra were ending all of those things that kept people home. Interesting to Hear as He talked about tHe enhanced Unemployment Benefits that are set to expire in september. Some states chose to end tHem early. Businesses say tHey couldnt get people to Work. Connell mcshane joining us now. I thought that was a fascinating exchange. We covered tHe Press Briefing daily. This administration has been pusHed on that. THeir response has been we dont see any correlation to tHe extended benefits and people staying home. Seems like an admission tHere. Almost an acknowledgement even that it didnt go that far. Youll get your answer in september which was an acknowledgement that it doesnt sound like tHe administration will push for anotHer extension of tHese Unemployment Benefits with tHe Delta Variant Coming Up. Some people are speculating that that might happen, this is a situation wHere tHe data and tHe anecdotes match up. Sometimes you should weigh tHe data more than tHe stories that you Hear. Weve done a lot of traveling talking to Business Owners and particularly Restaurant Owners. This is a situation wHere you have to give more weight to tHe anecdotes. THeyre so overwHelming. We were in Spokane Washington not long ago. A guy did tHe math that tHey were talking about Last Night. Even if you do Increase Salaries He was telling me or wages up to say 15 an hour because tHe Unemployment Benefits are so generous in washington state, you add in tHe 300 from tHe federal government, people are making tHe same amount of money staying home as tHey were Working. He was having trouble to get people to show up for interviews more than getting people to hire. Sandra its shining up in tHe data. This is tHe bureau of La Bore statistics in june. 174,000 people in tHe states stopping Unemployment Benefits. THey got people back to Work. 47,000 in states that kept tHe benefits. One exchange was fascinating in tHe Town Hall. THe same restauranteur that challenged him on several items. One of which is i cant get people to Work. Heres what biden suggests He do. How do you and tHe biden Administration Plan to incentivize those that havent returned to Work yet . One, if you notice, we kept you open. One of tHe things, were ending all of those things that is keeping people from going back to Work. John, my guess is that people being 7, 8 an hour plus tips, that is i think youll be finding 15 an hour and more now. He sayS Pay tHem more. Its tough to Hear wHen its a tough economic situation for tHese guys. Especially tHe Restaurant Owners that are paying more. Thats tHe story of inflation. Were in Los Angeles wHere a Restaurant Owner said i have to pay for more everything on my list that i have to buy. I cant afford to give tHe Workers more. I told you tHe story about washington state, tHe guy that had gone up to 15 an hour. As a final point, because were in tHe summer, in cape cod, for example, before tHe summer began tHere were restaurant tHeres that were so desperate to find Workers, tHey kind find tHem anywHere. So tHe president S Point about opening up, some of tHe restaurants werent able to open because tHey didnt have enough Workers to do so and tHey had to stay closed for tHe summer system. Sandra tHe restaurants that survived and reopened, many of tHem it was blood, sweat and tears to do so. Connell, good to have you on great. Sandra john . John thank you. More on tHe seemingly confusing guidance on masking as tHe Delta Variant covid cases continue to rise. Dr. Marc Siegel will tell you what you need to know aHead. Sandra and as fentanyl floods over tHe soutHern border and into american streets what is congress doing about this . John katko is on deck. He joins us live next. Low veter.

John tHe Border Patrol says that tHey have seen 70 more fentanyl in tHeir seizures than last year. This as more illegal drugs make tHeir way to tHe united states worsening a public Health-crisis'>Health Crisis. John katko is reintroducing his bipartisan bill in an effort to crack down on tHe influx of toxic syntHetic drugs flowing in including fentanyl. Congressman, good to see you today. How would you describe tHe Fentanyl Crisis on our Hern-boreder'>SoutHern Boreder . Its an epidemic. If youre wondering in upstate New York if tHe border affects tHem, go to tHe county morgue. 40 of 47 people in tHe morgue died from fentanyl in Heroin. Fentanyl is coming across tHe border in record number. THe bill that ive introduced will give Law Enforcement a leg up on how to deal with that crisis. John fentanyl is so many street drugs. You mentioned tHe amount of fentanyl coming across tHe border. LetS Put up tHe graphic. Its stunning. We had a little more than 2,000 people in 2018. Now were up to 8,507 pounds. That is enough to kill everybody in tHe united states five times over, this really is a public Health-crisis'>Health Crisis that is brewing across our certain border wHen it comes to elicit drugs. It is. People have to realize that. THe Border Crisis is not just about illegal aliens. What tHe Drug Traffickers are doing is diverting Law Enforcement away from hotspots by sending over a mass of peopling, maybe 100 people, for example, and wHen tHe Border Patrol agents come off tHe border to deal with that, tHey walk tHe drugs across. Thats why youre seeing record amounts of drugs coming across. Were enriching tHe cartels that charge a fee for everybody that brings it across and enriching tHe cartels by sending tHe drugs across and killing our kids in tHe process. ItS Pure insanity. John so to Help address tHe legislation, youve introduced tHe sims act. Drugs cartels try to get around u. S. Laws by producing similar drugs to fentanyl that are not covered by tHe laws. THe president signed an extension of a rule that includes tHem togetHer and makes tHem scHedule 1 drugs. That will expire in tHe middle of october. What happens tHen . Its technical about what happens is before you can find tHe syntHetic drug as being illegal, you have to identify tHe Hemical-composition'>CHemical Composition and tHen have it listed on a drug an log statute. That takes a long time to happen, months if not years. We have to move it through congress before we do it. My bill would allow as soon as its identify by Law Enforcement, to have it listed on a drug an log statue. Its really important because tHe bad guys know all tHey have to do is tweak tHe Hemical-composition'>CHemical Composition by a molecule and tHen its not illegal. Thats why we have to keep up with tHem by doing this. John a few second left. AnotHer issue. Canada says tHey want to reopen tHe border with tHe united states august 9. Dhs said no, no, not until at least tHe middle of august. Youre upset about this. ItS Pure insanity. Weve been dogging canada tHe last six months to open tHe border now tHey hop tHe border and now were saying were not going to do it. Its like Lucy Hiding tHe football. We have to open tHe border. If youre vaccinated, you should be allowed to go to canada. THeyre our neighbors, our friends. We have to get tHe commerce going again. John congressman katko, thanks.

John tHe White House in discussions as to wHetHer or not it will remove tHe latest guidance on masks and reinstate Mask Mandates even for children and people unvaccinated. Good afternoon. Welcome to tHe second hour of america reports. Im John Roberts. Sandra great to see you, john. Welcome to a new hour of america reports. Im Sandra Smith. Its tHe mixed messaging that folks are taking issue with out of tHe White House. President biden said if youre vaccinated, tHeres no need for a mask. Now were told tHeyre weighing tHe possibility of a new mandate, john. John with more and more places across tHe country saying you have to have a mask inside wHetHer youre vaccinated or not, tHe White House looking wHetHer tHey should send out tHe message nationally. THe president suggesting that He believes that tHe cdc Will Issue new guidance on masks for students under tHe age of 12. Peter doocy brought tHe issue to tHe White House Press Secretary moments ago. Heres tHe exchange. Listen Here. A few weeks ago, tHe president said were closer to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. Is that still tHe case if you guys are not reportedly considering asking vaccinated people to wear masks . First of all, tHe Cdc Director that overseas decisions along those lines made clear that that was not a decision that had been made a few hours ago. So i point out that first. Second, i would say that tHe president was referring to and continues to talk about as He did Last Night at a Town Hall is that were quite proud of tHe progress thats been made. People over 65, more than 80 of vaccinated. Almost 70 of adults are vaccinated. 162 Million americans are vaccinated. That is certainly progress. But were still at war with tHe virus. We have never said that would be over and always said that we would continue to focus on ensuring were meeting people wHere tHey are and getting tHem vaccinated, keeping tHem safe. THe president said in May Vax or masks. I think a lot of people got tHe vaccine because tHey were Hearing him say if you get tHe vaccine, you dont have to wear a mask anymore. That continues to be Cdc Guidance. You can say that will be tHe guidance forever . Im not tHe Cdc Director. I understand. People dont care who tells tHem to wear a mask. Shouldnt tHey care if its a doctor or medical expert . Most americans do care. Its tHe government. Okay. John Peter Doocy suggesting people will look to tHe biden administration for guidance on masks. People are saying, are we going backwards in this . We thought we were seeing tHe light at tHe end of tHe tunnel. Sandra tHe reason this conversation is happening because weve seen a spike In Covid cases in recent weeks including contagious Delta Variant, which now were told accounts for 83 of all new cases. Not more dangerous were told by tHe doctors but more contagious, john. So big questions about why tHe vaccinated americans are getting mild symptoms but still contracting tHe virus. John He-point'>THe Point of tHe vaccine as well, may not prevent you from contracting tHe covid virus but it doeS Prevent you from getting very sick. For tHe most part, keep you out of tHe hospital and keep you from dying. Its an important arrow in our quiver in terms of getting past this. Sandra, now to americas crime crisis. THe growing controversy surrounding one of tHe most liberal prosecutors. Sandra Kim Gardner and Her office are under fire after three Murder Cases were dismissed after one prosecutor failed to show up to court for three times. Families are demanding for answers and calling for gardner to go. John one motHers whose son got a Plea Deal on how Her case was handled. It was handled in a callous throw away case. Reaction from Geraldo Rivera minutes way. Sandra Mike Tobin is on tHe ground in chicago. Lets start with all tHe cases that were dropped Here. Bear with me. A lot of detears Here. In tHe case of terry ann phillips, a number of prosecutors were cycled through. A new prosecutor was given his case june 17. June 24, that prosecutor asked for a continuance but was denied because phillips had been in jail so long. He was still Held in jail. THe case of Gregory Sedens for killing an accomplice aS Part of a breakin. That case was dismissed. Its not clear why. Reporting says it was dismissed because of a lack of evidence. Most significantly is a case of Brandon Campbell. Prosecutors shifted around in his case as many left Gardners Office. Ultimately it was handed to a prosecutor that was on Maternity Leave. Needless to say, sHe was a noshow at tHe time of court. In fact, kim Gardners Office didnt even know that this individual had been released. THey released a statement to tHe public saying He was safely behind bars. At tHe same time, City Police were putting out a warrant for murder for tHe individual even though He waS Previously in custody. John thats embarrassing, mike. THe right hand doesnt know what tHe left hand is doing. You mentioned that many have left tHe circuit attorneys office. Dozens of prosecutors have quit . Dozens of prosecutors have quit. THe number is 90. Thats more than 100 turnover since Kim Gardner took control of that office. One days that is very significant is tHe case of kim arsHey. SHe was tHe Lead Prosecutor. SHe was tHe one that was handed tHe Brandon Campbell case. SHe was off on Maternity Leave and reporting now says beyond what you see with tHe chaos in that case, reporting says Her E Signature showed up in a number of cases while sHe was on Maternity Leave. What are we Hearing from tHe victims families . You have some families that are very upset. AnotHer case of Dwight Washington, a Victim Beat to death. THe suspect was jermane johnson. That was handled by tHe circuit attorneys office. THe suspect was allowed to plea out with a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Family members of tHe victim in this Case Calling Kim Gardner incompetent saying if tHe individual gets out and kills somebody else, sHe has Herself to blame. Sandra . Sandra thanks, mike. On tHe ground in chicago. John lets bring in Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera. What do you think about Kim Gardner . SHes what we dont need in terms of tHe Prosecutors Office. SHes announced that sHe wont be prosecuting any of tHe looters or riots in st. Louis, a city beset by violent crime. Its being torn apart by tHe gHetto Civil War and sHe refuses to recognize tHe severity of it. WHen you have someone that is a prosecutor who believes tHe criminal Justice System is too tough, you have a disconnect between tHe people suffering tHe violent crimes and a prosecutor that is really following a defund tHe Police Kind of ethos. SHes totally out of touch with Her own community. Not pursuing tHese cases, again, i point to tHe rioters and tHe looters as a litmus test. WHen you see a prosecutor that is so idealogically motivated that tHey went prosecute people that have raped a city, tHen you understand what is happening with tHese four homicide cases. Her office also investigating at one point tHe governor of missouri. ItS Preposterous some of tHe things sHes been doing. Totally out of touch with what is going on. Merrick garland, tHe Attorney General, is in chicago. Perhaps his next stop should be st. Louis. Bring tHe federal authorities in to take a look at what tHe local prosecutors are doing, john. John geraldo, i dont know if it was an administrative error or incompetence. THe fact that three murders walked free because prosecutors didnt show up and tHe Lead Homicide Prosecutor had been out on Maternity Leave and yet tHese orders to assign Her to be tHe Lead Prosecutor had been electronically signed by Her, unknown to Her, sHes quit over all of this. What does that speak to . John, thats my point. WHen you have a Prosecutors Office more concerned with politics, Philosophy And Ideology than with prosecuting people accused of tHe most violent crimeS Possible, you understand thiS Prosecutor is not serving tHe people of st. Louis but ratHer serving a political agenda that i think tHe time haS Past. Defund tHe police in tHese related movements are so antilaw and order, that tHey are antitHe very people that tHey say tHey seek to serve. I think its time that you have to understand what is going on Here now. SHe face aS Primary in august. I hope that tHe people understand how sHe has misserved tHem apparently or allegedly, john. John well see what happens. THe motHer of Dwight Washington as Mike Tobin pointed out says of gardner, sHes incompetent and a criminal. So well see wHere this goes. I want to ask you about something that President Biden said Last Night in a Town Hall on anotHer netWork about tHe defund tHe police movement. Listen to this. How do you respond to republicans that paint you and your party as antipolice . THeyre lying. John He says that tHe gop is lying about tHe democrats wanting to defund tHe police. What do you say . Well, i just think you have to look at tHe record. I like President Biden. He seems like a fine fellow. WHen you see what democrats have been saying for well over a year now about tHe Police Department i go back to chicago wHere tHe president has sent his own Attorney General for Today And Tomorrow to launch tHe federal Task Force in association with tHe chicago cops to fry to stem this Tidal Wave of murders in tHe windy city. Biden must understand that tHe critics of tHe police cannot be allowed to dominate tHe conversation. Police need to be empowered, refunded, not defunded. THe president cannot explain his own supporters and tHeir rHetoric about this antipolice rHetoric a caused a lot of tHe disruption since last june, john. John on that point, tHe proof of tHe pudding is in tHe eating. Watch this Here. Apparently we dont have it. It was a montage of tHe democrats saying that tHey wanted to defund tHe police. Sorry about that, geraldo. I have seen it and its stunning how many tHere were that said what tHey say now that tHey did not say. But tHey said it and its on videotape. Even tHe Producer Cant find it this minute, john. John geraldo, good to catch up with you. Thank you. Sandra California Governor Gavin Newsome meanwhile signing a new bill He says to crack down on a surge in retail tHefts in his state. This as video emerges Showing Thieves in Los Angeles strolling out casually of a t. J. Maxx store with armfuls of stolen merchandise. William La Jeunesse is live in Los Angeles. Just stunning video, william. Sandra, weve seen this about six weeks. THe video is causing sacramento to flipflop. Yesterday Governor Newsome blamed tHe spike in his words on organized crime rings, groups that resell stolen property, not tHe individuals that steal tHe stuff. Police point tHe finger At Newsome for laws that tHey say encourage criminal behavior. Clearly tHese guys have zero fear of consequences. Why . Prop 47. Newsome supported that made tHeft under 950 a misdemeanor. Essentially meaning no police, prosecution or penalty. Thieves hit this Neiman Marcus in San Francisco wHere a study found 49 released from jail before trial dont show up for court and 55 are rearrested while outside. Its a challenge. Ill be honest with you. Its not insurmountable. Newsome says none of this crime is related to his Reform Policies that favor mental Health, Drug Treatment and after school programs over jail. We need to hold folks to account. Were not going back to tHe way things were in He-80s'>THe 80s and 90s not while im Here. Shop lifting is reducing hours. Walgreens is closing 17 stores, a week ago, two shoplifters killed a Rite Aid employees that tried to stop tHem from stealing beer. THeres no words. He was everything to me. So 42 in a new poll said newsome is doing a poor job addressing crime, which may explain by you saw tHe News Conference Yesterday and tHe new bill. Back to you. Sandra thanks, william. Tough to see that video with tHe shoplifters Walking Out, nobody doing anything about it. If it is under a certain price, under 1,000, it would be a misdemeanor charge. John that makes no sense. It was tHe Rite Aid Worker that we talked about, businesses instructing employers not to get in tHe way of this. That Rite Aid Worker lost tHeir life. Terrible to see. Weve gotten more on tHe Mask Debate aHead. Were going to ask dr. Marc Siegel what He thinks officials should do wHen it comes to masking. Sandra President Biden admitting paying people more to stay at home might not be Helping tHe Hiring Problem out tHere. Get ready for it. Charlie gasparino, our friend, is Here to debate.

Sandra President Biden is dismissing tHe growing concerns or inflation saying all tHe price increases americans are dealing with are only temporary. THe vast majority of tHe experts including Wall Street are suggesting that its highly unlikely that it will be longTerm Inflation that will get out of hand. THere will be near Term Inflation because everything is now trying to be picked back up. Sandra tHe rising cost for items like milk, clotHes and used cars are Hitting Americans hard in tHe wallet. WHen will prices go down . Charlie gasparino is Here now from fbn. To clear tHe record, tHe last time we were on, we had a debate. You were nasty to me. This is how you know people are crazy. Half tHe comments are that you are too nasty to per and people said why was sHe so nasty to you. I was correcting you to be clear. That is S P is not overvalued. Well talk about that in just a moment. THere were fascinating exchanges Last Night. Getting inside wHere tHe president sits wHen it comes to inflation. Seems tHe solution for inflation is throwing more government at tHe problem. Isnt that only going to create more inflation and higHer prices . He called for higHer inflation. He said why dont you pay your people more . Sandra He said it. Lets listen to it. A restauranteur. How do you and tHe biden Administration Plan to incentivize those that have not returned to Work-yesterday'>Work Yesterday . One, we kept you open. Were ending all of those things that are keeping people back from going back to Work-and-et'>Work And Et cetera. Secondly, john, my guess is that people being 7, 8 an hour plus tips, that is i think youll find 15 an hour and more now. Sandra so now tHe Headline on Daily Mail is, He went and talked to tHe restauranteurs to get tHeir reaction to that. Do you want to pay 50 for a hamburger, joe . Thats what would happen if tHese restaurants are no, sired to pay in some cases 14 an hour for dishwasHers. How does He know He doesnt pay 15 now . By tHe way, tHe Guys Shirt was distracting. I must admit. Aside from that, tHe question was, people in tHese restaurants to get paid 15 an hour. So Hes totally wrong. Sandra some of tHem. A lot of tHem. Sandra joe didnt say 15. He said more. Whatever youre paying, keep paying more. Thats called inflation. Restaurants operate on thin margins. THeyre not rich people. People that own restaurants. Maybe tHe big chains. But people like this guy operate on thin margins. Every time you force tHem to raise wages, it comes out of tHeir bottom line. Point one otHer thing out. Restaurants, i know plenty of tHem, tHey dont mind competing with tHe restaurant next door for that wage and raising wages. THey worry about competing against tHe ever neverending funnel of money by government. That is impossible. So thats what Hes doing. HeS Putting restaurants out of Business Making people stay home as opposed to taking a job. Sandra it was a brutal message. He said okay, we kept you open. THere were Covid Funds a lot of tHem are still closed. Sandra a lot are forced to close and those that did survive, a lot of blood, sweat and tears sHed. A lot of personal money you know, george h. W. Bush got a lot of flak not understanding average people. I remember He was online to pay for something. He didnt have any money in hiS Pocket. It was shown that Hes out of touch with tHe average american. If you play everything strait, that same criticism should be levelled at him. He has no idea how Small Businesses are having a hard time making end meet. THe goal of every White House should be to create a business friendly environment. Joe biden is out of touch. Hes surrounded by left wing progresses and have no idea how Small Businesses make a buck. Sandra lets look at tHese federal benefits. Seems to be an admission. 26 states ended tHem because tHey Heard from Small Businesses that said because of this, people are not showing up to Work. Last night seemed that President Biden made an admission that having those out tHere has kept people from going to apply for job. Because He said guess what all that stuff He referenced that will go away in september that will solve tHe problem and people will go back to Work. Probably a Stealth Way to try to raise tHe Minimum Wage. Thats what Hes trying to do. Sandra de facto legislation. Yeah, Minimum Wage should be in different than West Virginia and New York. He wants to raise it everywHere. Hes going to hurt Small Businesses. In tHe end, its going to hurt people. THeyll have to be laid off wHen tHeyre charged 50 for a hamburger. You called investors stupid. Some of us. Sandra and tHe Stock Market are some investors are stupid. THe S P is overvalued. Sandra itS Pricey. Ill give you that. Cant call it a bubble until it pops.

John tHe debate over masks is Heating up again as tHe Delta Variant Heats up. Mask mandates are back in l. A. County and now tHeres reports that tHe city of philadelphia wants to do tHe same thing. THe White House says no decision has been made from tHe federal level. Dr. Marc Siegel will join us with more on that. First, tHe push to get more folks vaccinated especially Healthcare Workers. Jonathan serrie live in Atlanta Home of tHe cdc. Hi, jonathan. Some places are requiring Workers to get vaccinated. That charlotte, two major Hospital Systems are requiring employees to do this. EverywHere else, tHe shots are highly recommended for everyone. Take a listen. If youre unvaccinated, consider a vaccination today. Its free. Its available. Its easy. It Works. Its never, never been more important. Heres why tHe White House is concerned. THe u. S. Now averaging 37,700 new caseS Per day. A 53 increase over tHe previous sevenday average. Federal Health-official'>Health Officials say tHe contagious Delta Variant is driving much of tHe surge. At tHe start of tHe pandemic, someone sick with covid19 was expected to infect about three otHer people. With tHe Delta Variant, an infected person spreads tHe virus to as many as nine people. THe Delta Variant is more aggressive and much more transmissible than circulating strains. Its one of tHe most Infectious Viruss that we know of. Even with delta as tHe dominant strain in tHe u. S. , Health'>Federal Health officials say existing vaccines reduce infection and most importantly prevent serious cases and deaths. Hospitals say most of tHe covid patients tHeyre seeing now are unvaccinated. THeyre also trending younger. Thats not because covid19 has become any more dangerous for young people but because older americans have gotten vaccinated at such high rates. Its anotHer indication that tHe shots are Working, but only if people take tHem. John and sandra, back to you. John thanks, jonathan. Lets bring in dr. Marc Siegel. This news that philadelphia may return to Mask Mandates for people indoors even if tHeyre vaccinated or not. THe White House now weighing return to Mask Mandates. This was supposed to be a reward for people that got vaccinated. You get tHe vaccine, you dont need to wear tHe masks anymore. Now tHeyre thinking about taking that away. If tHey mandate masks ratHer than recommend tHem strongly in areas wHere tHeres a lot of indoor activity, if tHey mandate tHem, tHey risk diverting attention for wHere it belongs, which is on tHe vaccine. THey will get tHe reputation of mandate, lock down, masks. As Jonathan Serrie said, tHe goal has to be vaccinate. Because tHe Delta Variant is three times more easily transmissable. Because you carry more of it in your noise, studies show. Because wHen youre vaccinated fully with two shots of an mrna Pfizer Or Moderna, tHe chances of you getting severe illness from tHe Delta Variant or even being hospitalized is extremely low. Masks dont do that for you. You know, Mayor Bill de blasio of new York City called tHe mask a Pea Shooter and tHe vaccine a cannon. I think Hes completely right on that comparison. John President Biden was asked in tHe Town Hall if children would have to go Back To School with a mask and He said new Cdc Guidance would be coming down tHe pike on that. Listen Here. THe cdc will say everyone under tHe age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school. ThatS Probably what will happen. John HeS Predicting tHe cdc will come up with new guidance. Last hour we had Lindsey Bohan on. SHes a motHer of four students in tHe Virginia Beach school district. SHe was concerned because sHes against Her kids wearing masks that tHe president is out tHere predicting what tHe cdc may or may not do, which could be seen as tHe president putting political pressure on tHe cdc. Yeah, He shouldnt be doing that. His tone was better, less bullying, more humble, less shaming. Thats wHere He needs to go. As i told you, He should be placing Operation Warp Speed that brought us tHe vaccine. In terms of schools, john, i agree with tHe parents. Recommendations are fine. If tHe cdc changes tHeir recommendations and tHeyre also recommending masks for those under 12 that are unvaccinated, if tHey make this stronger, recommendations tend to be picked up by local ordinances and become rules, mandates and tHe mandates are wHere i have trouble. Not all kinds want to wear a mask. Not all kids can tolerate a mask. Kids have anxiety with masks. THe younger you get, tHe less likely youre spreading covid. Studies show less than a 1 chance of children in School Spread Covid from one to tHe next. If tHey get sick, tHey get a mild case. So we shouldnt be putting tHe burden on our children. Should be on tHe parents to get tHe vaccine and teacHers to get tHe vaccine. John tHere was an article in tHe canadian medical Association Journal that said masks may not be necessary for kids.
