Every day the light at The End of that tunnel has grown brighter. 60 of adults with at least one dose, he says. It marks a big step toward the president s goal of 70 of americans with at least one dose by independence day. And toward our symbolic independence from this plague. But thats still months away. In the meantime were left with state by state, store by store and sometimes customer by Customer Patchworks or rules about masks. After that surprise new guidance from the cdc last week, more than 20 states were quick to repeal Mask Mandates or issued orders that allow vaccinated people to stop wearing them. Massachusetts and New York becoming the latest states this morning. Other states say theyre still reviewing their rules. Then theres the Dividing Line among retail chains. Cvs said today vaccinated customers are no longer required to wear masks, but how would they know who is vaccinated . Most chains say theyre relying on the Honor System. And what if youre vaccinated and shopping in a Cvs Store where masks are no longer required but youre in a state like california where they still are. There are stores like apple and kroger, one of the biggest Grocery Stores in america, and apple is taking a wait and see approach. Masks still required, they say. If you were out and about this weekend, youve probably seen it comes down to customer by customer. Some say theyre not taking their masks off yet even if theyre allowed. And where theyre still required, some people say, why should i still have to wear a mask when the cdc says i dont have to. Joining me now for more on this from virginia, Nbc News thats a decision they can make. Some businesses may want to require wearing masks. Lets all be kind and respectful with one another as we come out of this Pandemic And Respect those who want to continue wearing a mask, even if theyve been vaccinated. Joining me now from virginia is reporter vaughn hillyard, also dr. Amish Adalgia And Eugene daniels, also an msnbc contributor. Dr. Adalgia, the cdc said yesterday this isnt an invitation for people to start shedding their mask everywhere, because there are places where people are not vaccinated, and there are businesses that dont require masks. I agree they are extremely effective at preventing you from getting serious disease and also preventing you from spreading this infection. What were talking about is a fully vaccinated person really having no value to wear a mask. If youre not fully vaccinated, youre still at risk and especially in highrisk indoor settings. I dont think there will be people lying about their Vaccine Status who were wearing masks to begin with and are now deciding not to wear a mask if theyre vaccinated. Im sure there were people not wearing a mask and theyre still probably not going to wear a mask. I do think we need to reward vaccinated people because theyre in a different category now. They are no longer a threat to others. And, eugene, to the doctors point, i spoke with an Administration Official Today who said the Cdc Sort of falls into the darned if you do, darned if you dont category. If they had this data and sat on it, they would have been criticized for being too timid, yet they had the data and acted on it and now theyre being dinged for putting out guidance which in some quarters is confusing. Whats the read from the White House and the cdc about this perceived confusion . Thats 100 right. They were being dinged for quite some time since vaccinations started rolling out about not removing this. This is a Conversation Theyve been talking about for a while. People you talk to at the cdc, they will tell you they were not trying to add any of the political calculations here, that they were making a decision based on the science. They were waiting to have enough evidence to feel comfortable doing this because they know that once you roll out something in this country, you cant unroll it, right . You cant put that Toothpaste Back in the tube, so now that people are walking around without masks, saying vaccinated people dont need it. I walked out myself, youre walking around, going in stores, putting it back on. Its a little complicated but the cdc and the White House say this is about the science. The White House didnt even know this was coming down until just hours before the cdc actually made their announcement. Same thing with the president , which is what this White House wanted, right . They wanted the cdc to be able to make their own decisions, and that leads to us really, really having to do this based on the Honor System, trusting people in using your own personal risk. So you can pop into one store and you have to wear your mask, and another wont require it. So im talking to businesses who are trying to figure out how they navigate this themselves at this point, and right now its kind of all over the place. I think well start to see people be more comfortable walking in, you know, like the doctor said, people who wear masks will probably continue to wear them a little while, but people who werent wearing them, this will change their behavior. And youre outside in a shopping area. I had mine on because i was with my son who was too young to be vaccinated, and i thought if i take my mask off, theres no Way Hell continue to wear his. So give us a sense of what youre learning about in leesburg. What have you been hearing from shoppers . Reporter people are looking around at one another trying to figure out the best course to make. Outside this target, i was watching folks come in and every single one of them had a mask until Liz Ale walked in. I started chatting with her and when i asked her about not wearing a mask, she said im fully vaccinated. I had my mask in my hand and on the door there was nothing about a mask requirement. Thats because just this Morning Target lifted their mask requirement. This costco over here, there was about 25 not wearing masks inside. Melissa was her name, she was unmasked. She told me shes not vaccinated and doesnt intend to, said it was her personal freedom, which goes to the very heart of the Honor System of not knowing who was coming or going. It was particularly busy from shops or restaurants to these retail locations, looking more than it did in 2019 here. Just today new York Governor and Massachusetts Governor announcing they are lifting their restrictions. Theres still some local jurisdictions, some counties, here including in the Virginia Area that still have their mandates and thats where a lot of the Question Marks are, and thats why ultimately in the days and weeks ahead its going to come down to these corporations largely on the decision that they make. Dr. Adalgia, there was something that caught our teams attention. Public health data shows that masking and social distancing have most likely had farreaching positive impacts beyond slowing the spread of covid19. While over 34,000 adults died of covid19 in the 201819 season, this year deaths are on track to remain in the hundreds, according to cdc data. Thats a large number. Do you think masks are here to stay in some respects . I think there are people who see the benefit of wearing masks when youre talking about respiratory viruses. We did not just have benefits from covid19, we had less respiratory viruses, less common colds. There may be people who want to continue to wear masks because of that benefit. When you get in situations, maybe public transportation, youll have a group of people who might see that benefit and continue to wear them, much like in the asian countries. I dont think thats a bad thing if people want to voluntarily wear masks because flu and respiratory illnesses do disrupt our lives. Not as much as covid19, but they are substantial. The cdc maintains that masks should still be required in places like hospitals, where dr. Adalja is. But apparently the Nurses Union is unhappy with the guidance on this in most places. Whats happening in Santa Monica where you are . Thats correct, were in Santa Monica. Heres where it gets interesting before we get to the nurses. I visited this area throughout the pandemic over the months, and this is an area where masks were mandated, where people were told they had to wear masks, but throughout the pandemic the different visits i made to this area, people never wore masks. There is a lot of foot traffic. This is an outdoor area where there is a lot of space. Our crew, were all fully vaccinated and we keep that six feet of distance. But just as an example, the rules can be one thing but the behavior of the public can be quite different. Weve been here all day and we havent seen you know, 90 of people in this Area Arent wearing masks. Getting into the nurses now, the largest union, the nurses united union, have spoken against these guidelines, their argument that less than 40 of americans 16 or older of the u. S. Population has been fully vaccinated. Thats one of the reasons why they say the cdc has changed these guidelines too soon. Lets hear from one of the representatives of the union. To throw salt in the wounds of nurses who have been busting their bodies and minds to save peoples lives during this pandemic, they made this announcement on international Nurses Day and the same day that we were having a memorial for all of our colleagues that weve lost in this pandemic, the same day. Reporter and we know that these changes are happening in the hour. We have more and more stories. As you mentioned, target joining the list. We know starbucks is allowing fully vaccinated customers to take off the mask. Were waiting for the governor to make a full announcement. Earlier this month he said that June 15 would be the date, so midjune would be the date that californians would be able to take off masks. But increasing pressure from businesses, from people who feel confused to hear something from the governor, maybe an announcement. We know they are reviewing these new guidelines but nothing here yet. We also know that every day more and more states are lifting these Mask Mandates. And, gaud, as you were speaking, a guy fell off his bike but he seems to be okay. He kept it moving, thankfully. President biden announced today that families who qualify will get r start getting those monthly Tax Credit payments starting in july, so families will get monthly payments of 300 for children under 16 years old and Up To 250 for children ages 6 to 17. When the White House says President Biden wants to be a transformational figure, its things like this theyre talking about, right . Absolutely. Child Tax Credits is not something new to the conversation, especially for democrats. I think whats happening here, and what weve seen over the last year, is that people look at what government can do in their lives differently. So i think democrats are hoping to take this opportunity, this presidency, to expand that even further, right . You look at all of the trillions of dollars that have been already spent or put in legislation that the president has signed, but also trillions that are yet to be spent in the exact same way. So this child Tax Credit is another one of those things where you have democrats who want to test the waters throughout a trial balloon, get people used to it and then possibly do it permanently. You have democrats in the House And Senate working on this, Cory Booker Being Chief among them to do their part. This is something thats easy to forget because theres so much happening, but its really, really important. Eugene daniels, dr. Amesh adalgia, vaughn hillyard, gaud villegas, thank you.

The escalating violence in the Middle East is showing no signs of slowing down despite growing calls for a ceasefire. Israel launched its own intense night of bombings yet as the conflict spreads into its second week. Nearly 200 people, including 58 children, have died in gaza so far with 42 killed yesterday alone. The Israeli Military says the strikes are targeting Hamas Infrastructure in the region. Now, approximately 3,000 rockets have been fired into israel from gaza, most of which have been intercepted by the Countrys Iron Dome defense system. Tens of israelis have lost their lives, including two children. In todays press briefing, white House Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly declined to say whether or not the White House believes Israels Response has been disproportionate. Is it fair to say that you dont want to answer the Question Yes or no whether the president feels the israeli response has been disproportionate . We dont think i dont think its constructive. We are going to take everything we convey, whether its a statement or an action, is going to be to The End of deescalating the situation on the ground. Joining me from beirut is correspondent raf sanchez. Whats going on there . Reporter Islamic Jihad is a militant group that fights alongside hamas in the Gaza Strip and is responsible for firing some of those thousands of rockets you mentioned. They said they will take revenge and has threatened to target the Parliament Building in jerusalem. This has been horrendous for civilians on both sides, but especially for children in gaza. 58 children killed in the last week, ten of them in one israeli airstrike alone yesterday. They go to bed with israeli warplanes overhead, spend their days with explosions around them. Our team in gaza caught up with one tenyearold girl named nadian who speaks with painful eloquence about the deaths of children there. Take a listen. I feel horrible that we have to live like this. I feel horrible that we are even seeing this. We dont even deserve this. Kids maybe died in here. Kids maybe died in other places. But we dont deserve this. We didnt even we cant even do anything. Reporter so, jeff, there you have it, a tenyearold who has probably seen more in the last week than most of us will see in our lives. Jeff . Absolutely. And her comments were searing and heartbreaking. Nbcs raf sanchez. Thank you for that update. Joining me now is Supreme Commander ed stavegis. Good to see you, sir. The first question is this. The last naval conflict in Israel And Gaza lasted about ten months. Do you expect a similar timeline this time around . I certainly hope not, jeff. Ive spent a lot of time in israel. One of my duties, collateral duties, if you will, as the Nato Commander was to be in charge of u. S. Israeli military cooperation. So i know this team well on the israeli side. And certainly its in Nobodys Interest that this continue. So let us hope that there will be a concerted effort to shorten it. However, having said that, the bitterness, as you see, runs deep. Its being deepened by the events of the last week. And, frankly, its going to require some outside influence in order to begin to reduce the level of violence going back and forth. Lets talk about that outside influence, because the u. S. Has reportedly blocked a u. N. Resolution calling for a ceasefire. About three times this week they blocked it. Congressional democrats is calling for a ceasefire, but the White House so far has not. Should it and would it make a difference, do you think . I think its something the administration should be looking at on an hourly basis. Rather than perhaps pushing for immediate u. N. Resolution, the united states potentially could convene, for example, the foreign ministers of leading arab nations to include Egypt And Qatar who are already working on a ceasefire, alongside the israeli foreign minister, the Israeli Minister of defense, thats benny gantz, get them together in a Room And Work toward a ceasefire. There is no Middle East Peace Process at this point, lets just stop the rockets and missiles going forward. I would say let the u. S. Take a swing at this if we cant broaden it to include more. You know all the players, as you point out. You have about 40 or 50 Years Experience dealing with the region. Is the biden administration in your view underestimating the kind of leverage it has with israel . I think its fair to say that we dont hold an enormous suite of tools at this point. And on the on the other hand, we are a major military partner. The Israelis Respect us. I think that potentially we could create some influence here. But at The End of the day, jeff, this is going to have to be israelis and palestinians realizing that this path forward is not working for either side. We can facilitate that, and i am very sympathetic to the efforts of the administration here because they want to move on. They want to move on to facing china. They want to get an iran deal done. This is the last thing in the world they need or want, and i think thats the way to look at it. Thanks for those insights, admiral james stavridis. Coming up, investigating the insurrection. The republicans look at investigating the capitol riot. Later the nations higher court is taking up a bill that directly challenges roe v. Wade. Directly challenges roe v. Wade.

A former associate of Congressman Matt Gaetz pleaded guilty in a Florida Courtroom Today setting the foundation of his cooperation with a federal Sex Trafficking investigation. Former Seminole County Tax collector Joel Greenberg admitted to six felonies, including Sex Trafficking a minor, i. D. Theft and fraud. His Plea Deal allows greenberg to avoid 27 additional charges he originally faced. Now, the 86page Plea Deal doesnt mention gaetz, but in It Greenberg does agree to provide, quote, substantial assistance to prosecutors including coconspirators and testimony. As greenberg was in court this morning, a banner flew over the courthouse that read, tick tock, Matt Gaetz. We know Matt Gaetz has repeatedly reported no wrongdoing. We have Andrew Weissman and Kerry Sanders. Kerry, walk us through what happened in Court Today and whats next for Joel Greenberg. In a plea agreement, Joel Greenberg pled to participating and organizing ecstasy, sexfueled parties. So you had these Drug And Sex parties going on, and here, i think, is one of the key elements he lays out in his plea agreement, and that is one of the individuals who greenberg paid for commercial sex acts was a minor under the age of 18 for part of the time. When greenberg paid her to engage in commercial sex acts with him and others, and its that and others which, of course, is why this is an ongoing federal investigation. And the question, of course, is who were those others . Joel greenberg, as part of his Plea Deal here, has said that he will talk to investigators. He will tell them everything he knows. He will testify. And in exchange for that, all of that will go in about 75 days to the Sentencing Judge here. So all of that goodwill could impact what sentence he get. Right now hes facing at least 12 years in federal prison. But all of the things he tells the investigators could eventually lead them to other people. And while i was speaking to the attorney representing Joel Greenberg, i said, well, are we going to find out that some of these people are elected officials . And he said, well see where this goes. So there is certainly some information there. Its being shared with the agents. The agents are looking into it. But as you pointed out, at this point, because so much attention is focused on representative gaetz, there are no charges and there is no mention in any of this document, in this plea agreement, about representative Matt Gaetz. Kerry sanders, thanks to you for that great reporting. Andrew weissman, before we get to this, greenberg admitted to human trafficking, fraud and bribery. That doesnt include whats in the Plea Deal, so how do federal prosecutors work with a man who faces this Laundry List of alleged crimes . Well, its not that unusual for cooperaters to be put on the stand even though they have committed a host of crimes. That is going to always be the case when you have one conspirator testifying against another. But it does mean that you have to make sure as a prosecutor that you have corroboration. You need to be able to argue to the jury, why should you believe this person . That happens, you know, every day of the week in Federal Court and in state court. But here i think this is such an important development because youre not going to allow Joel Greenberg to cooperate and to take this kind of plea, as harsh as it is, unless you think that he has the goods and is being truthful and is corroborated with respect to the targets of the investigation. And its hard to see how thats not going to at least include Matt Gaetz. Lets talk about that, because at a Gop Fundraiser in ohio this weekend, gaetz compared the allegations against him to legislative earmarks. He said, quote, im being falsely accused of exchanging money for naughty favors, yet congress has alleged Reinstituted A Process that legalizes the corrupt act of exchanging money for favors, through earmarks, and everybody knows that thats the corruption. Sex trafficking is something that is a crime, and its not going to be, you know, speeches that get rid of those charges. So if he is to be charged by the way, its not unusual that you would not see his name in the papers so far that have been filed in court. It is doj policy not to name people who have not been charged, so what theyre doing is quite proper to keep all of the individuals who might be targets out of the papers unless and until they are charged. But hes facing essentially the same charge that was brought with respect to Joel Greenberg and to which Joel Greenberg pled guilty today, which is Sex Trafficking a minor, which by all accounts, is what Matt Gaetz is being investigated for and seems like he is the next person to be charged in this matter. Andrew weissmann and Kerry Sanders keeping a look at this matter. Thanks to you. The Supreme Court announced it will take up Mississippis Ban on most abortions after 15 weeks which had been struck down by a lower court ruling. The law is considered a direct challenge to roe v. Wade and the announcement is a boon to Abortion Opponents who wanted the new Conservativeleaning Court to take up the issue. Joining me now is Nbc News Justice Correspondent pete williams. Pete, what more do we know about this case . Heres why its a direct challenge to roe v. Wade, because the Supreme Court has consistently, since that decision in 1973, said that women have a constitutional right to seek Abortion Services before viability, which is generously considered to be 15 weeks. They passed this law after 15 weeks with very few exceptions, saying states need the flexibility to decide if that Viability Date has changed because of medical advancements. So thats the argument here. So it really does get into the core of roe v. Wade, and thats why its so important that the Supreme Court has agreed to take it up, because in taking it up, it said it would limit itself to the question of whether states can ban abortions during the previability period. Thats the whole ball game, and thats the question the Supreme Court has agreed to hear. Now, the fact that it has agreed to hear it is telling in and of itself. Because the Supreme Court has had this case on the docket since last september. Thats when mississippi appealed the decision of the lower courts, striking the law down, saying you cant enforce the law. Of course, that was around the time that Justice Ginsberg had died so there were some changes on the court. But then Amy Coney Barrett came on the court in oblgt and it still waited seven more months to decide whether to hear this case. It discussed It Something like 17 or 18 times in its private conferences. So the people on the court who agreed to hear this case, it takes five votes sorry, it takes four votes to grant a case, but when you are a Justice Voting to grant a case, you must think you have that fifth vote. That says something about what the justices themselves believe. Nbcs pete williams. Thanks, as always, sir, for that great reporting. A new video is raising questions about the existence of ufos.

After this week, the house is taking a Threeweek Recess which means they have a lot to get done the next few days over on capitol hill. That includes the president s multitrilliondollar Infrastructure Plans and two bills about the January Insurrection at the capitol. One includes nearly 2 Billion to increase security at the capitol, the other bill would be to investigate the riot. Both seem simple on the surface, but with a handful of republican lawmakers now downplaying the insurrection and reinventing reality, theyre becoming anything but simple. With me is correspondent garrett haake. Garrett, good to see you. You were saying last week the democrats and republicans reached a deal on this, but at the time it was announced, you had Kevin Mccarthy say he wasnt fully in on it. Where does it stand now . Reporter the leadership delegated this down to the committee where they reached an agreement. Democrats quickly embraced that agreement, but republicans in the person of Kevin Mccarthy, the minority leader, did not. Mccarthy was silent about this over the weekend, but this bill is going to be in the rules committee tomorrow, headed to the floor later this week. There is no indication right now that republicans are whipping against it, they may just let the chips fall where they may on this, but well probably get a better idea when it goes through tomorrow about whether republicans will fight a bill where they got whatever they wanted, a truly partisan commission, the opportunity to share subpoena power, essentially, or have veto over subpoenas and a report that will be due this year, not next year leading into the midterms. So i think tomorrow will be very telling as to the fate of that bill in the house and perhaps in the senate as well. Can i ask you about the calendar . Look, time, as we both know, is a finite resource in politics. You have the house about to take a threeweek break. In that Threeweek Span of time, youve got two big deadlines. One is memorial day, the house said they wanted to be improvement on infrastructure by memorial day, and President Biden said he wanted to see an agreement on the George Floyd Justice policing bill. Whats the deal on both those bills . Reporter one seems more likely than another. The progress on infrastructure, i think, is a pretty good chance. The senate republicans who met with the president last week had a very good meeting. They left Way Home Work assignment, essentially to refine their counteroffer and come back and present the White House with something in a little more detail by tomorrow. The senate comes back into session tonight. We could learn more about whats in that counteroffer tonight, or by the very latest, tomorrow when their Home Work is due by the president. Thats a weird thing to have happen. As for the Police Reform Bill, this is a little trickier. This appeared to have a little momentum around the time of the derek chauvin trial, but it got hung up in these negotiations last year, and thats a question of qualified immunity for Police Officers themselves. Clyburn had made some comments two weeks ago now suggesting that would be a compromised element that would be left aside if there couldnt be agreement on it. A Police Reform Bill would move forward even without it. A lot of democrats and lawmakers didnt like that. Im told the principal negotiators plan to meet again this week, but the idea that something would even be on paper on the 25th, much less through both chambers and to the president by then, seems a bit farfetched at the moment, jeff. Jeff, if i were a betting man, i bet the Two Of Us will talk at this time tomorrow about the infrastructure homework, as you put it, buddy. Ill put it on my calendar. Sounds good. Thanks as always, man. As we talk about infrastructure, were getting a real World Example of the need to improve our nations aging infrastructure. The bridge which joins i40 In Memphis has been closed after inspectors found a massive crack in one of two major support beams. Over 200,000 vehicles cross the bridge in mississippi on a given day. All that traffic is being rerouted over a bridge thats even older. Aging bridges is an issue all across the country. Over 40 of bridges in the u. S. Are over 50 years old and over 46,000 are considered structurally deficient. Thats the lowest possible rating they can get. Joining me is Weekend Reporter Yasmin vossoughian. Whats the update . Reporter its unprecedented to have a complete shutdown because of that crack. That crack is in the middle of the bridge where the two arches behind me are actually meeting. We had some updated information because the Department Of Transportation held a Press Conference earlier today, and they talked about the firing of an employee, and i want to quote this accurately, for failing to carry out responsibilities correctly in the years 2019 and 2020, and all of the bridges that that employee had, in fact, inspected, they are going to have reinspected. Theyre also referring the case to the federal authorities to make sure there is no Criminal Negligence involved. Thats certainly a major development in this whole thing. But you talk about the effects on the surrounding communities, jeff, its major. So you have all those cars coming across and then one in four of those cars are actually trucks that have a lot of goods going back and forth. I was actually speaking to the owner of a Freight And Trucking company who said theyre having to put a surcharge on some of these goods. Because some of these Truck Drivers are actually waiting in traffic two to three to four hours because theyre now being redirected, and who is that burden falling on . The customer. So the charges, the prices are going up in both arkansas and memphis on a lot of these goods, and we all know the economy has suffered greatly because of this pandemic. One of the major questions as youre talking about infrastructure, you were talking about it with garrett, this homework assignment, we should say, are these republican and democratic senators, are these republican and democratic congressmen going to coalesce together . Are they going to come together and reach a bipartisan consensus about this Infrastructure Bill . I dont think youre going to get the senators from this area, mississippi, arkansas, and tennessee, on these bills no matter what he does. He probably could promise to make us one of the ten, and i dont think it would make a move. We have to pass this bill, and i suspect ill be the only person in this area that shows support. Reporter i dont think youre surprised by this, my friend. Not a lot of optimism by Congressman Steve Cohen and others getting behind this bill in a bipartisan way.
