Personnel and the White House is extending the existing Travel Ban saying international travel should be open in a, quote, safe and sustainable manner. On Capitol Hill, Today Congressman Adam kinzinger is officially the second republican to accept House Speaker Nancy Pelosis Invitation to join the select committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. Thats just ahead of the panels first hearing tomorrow, when it will hear from Police Officers who defended the capitol that day. Ill be talking to House Majority Leader Stanley Hoyer on all of this straight ahead. In this hour, Tom Barrack, longtime Friend And Chair of the former president s inaugural committee will be back inside a federal courtroom in Book Lin for an arraignment following his arraignment in los angeles, where he posted a 250 Million bond. Ill be speaking with Kerstin Gillibrand about the Infrastructure Talks and about a lengthy and Years Battle to revolutionize how the Military Prosecutes Sexual Assault cases. Lets begin with the debates over the coronavirus with Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez and director of infectious Disease Research at the university of minnesota. Were seeing a huge increase in hospitalizations across the country and youve been there covering it. Plus spikes in states like alabama, about a third of the population, only onethird is vaccinated there. These Trend Lines could get even worse. Reporter yeah, thats right, andrea. The Hospitalization Rate here in alabama has increased more than 300 since july 1st, and at this hospital where were at right now, the university of alabama at birmingham, theyve seen a sharp rise in covid patients over the weekend. They had 35 on friday, 48 on sunday, and just now im hearing that its now up to 54 covid patients at this hospital. Andrea, that is much less than what this hospital and others were seeing back in january, but it is, as you mentioned, a very concerning trend line, especially as we go into the fall and back to School Season here in alabama, which as you mentioned, only about onethird of people are vaccinated. The Vaccination Rate here 34 , the lowest in the country, andrea. We just spoke with one of the doctors here about that. Take a listen. Theres no question that transmission here of the Delta Variant is really out of control. All of the viral isolates weve looked at are the Delta Variant in these patients. So its really taking advantage of us in our unvaccinated state. Reporter i just spoke with an Icu Nurse a short time ago and she just learned that one of her patients that she was caring for over the weekend had just passed away, a patient in her 20s, a young mother. So some of the Health Care workers here say that they are seeing these younger and sicker patients. Now, andrea, theres a lot of moving parts to this covid story across the country. We also heard in New York today, Mayor Bill de blasio expanding the Vaccine Mandate in new York City to include all city employees. This comes after he had mandated vaccines or weekly Covid Tests for employees at cityrun hospitals last week. But this all comes amid these growing fears of the Delta Variant, which is exploding across the country, andrea. Gabe gutierrez, thank you so much. And, doctor, lets start with the doctors and nurses dealing with this latest spike and the news from these major medical groups calling for mandatory vaccinations for all Health Care personnel. How important is this . Well, we assume that when our Health Care workers that are going to take care of us, that theyre also not going to harm us with an Infectious Disease they may carry. So i think this is the one group that its imperative that they are vaccinated and that we do whatever we can to get them vaccinated, and obviously its best when you use the carrot, but if a stick is necessary to protect the lives of patients, then i think that must be done. And what do you think about the potential new federal indoor Mask Mandate that is under consideration . Well, you know, i think the message we want to get out about masking is the idea of respiratory protection, meaning that you are protecting yourselves from the virus. Remember this virus is transmitted in an aerosol. If you want to understand what an aerosol is, imagine youre in a Room And Someone is smoking. Can you smell that smoke . Thats what an aerosol is. One of the things we have found is that the typical Face Cloth covering over your face often doesnt do much to actually reduce the amount of Virus You Inhale in. So what we really want to emphasize is what protects you are the n95 respirators, the kn95 respirators. They call them masks, but in fact they are respirators. There you get high levels of protection. So its not just put on something, but make sure you put on something that makes a difference. And finally in studies weve been doing using national media as a way to look at in crowds on Tv Screens how many people are actually wearing Face Cloth coverings or masks, but how are they wearing them. And we continue to see about a quarter of the united states here that they are putting it under their nose, for nothing else more than a chin diaper. Thats not going to protect you. So if you do Wear It, make sure you Wear It so it protects you. And i want to ask you about boosters. Theres a lot of concern among people, especially older people, or people who are challenged in terms of their immunities, in terms of when youre going to need a booster, how soon, does it mean that if youve had two shots it isnt effective any longer. Can you give us some clarity on that . Well, first of all, the two shots that you got basically are lifesavers, for so, so many. So please do not for a moment hesitate to think that you did something that now doesnt mean you have protection. You do have protection. It may not be the full protection. It may mean you have less serious illness, less chance of getting hospitalized, and surely a lot less chance of dying. What is being studied right now is when, if we do need to give a booster shot, when is it. And youre going to be seeing much more information coming out in the near term, meaning within days, about any new recommendations about boosters. In the meantime, celebrate it. If youve gotten your two doses of vaccine, youve done everything you possibly can at this point to protect yourself. But you do lose your even with pfizer or moderna, youre beginning to lose your protection as the months proceed. So what is one of the things, are we going to have to be tested for antibodies to see who qualifies for a booster . How is this going to work . Whats happening right now, were looking at studies that include ones in israel, which was where the first data was reported for the pfizer vaccine, indicating there may be a need for a booster. This work is ongoing right now to understand when a booster might be necessary. Also, the Delta Variant poses some really very unique challenges. Youve been hearing a lot of the discussion about the Breakthrough Infections and what does that mean. And i think youre going to hear more information forthcoming from the cdc in the next day or two on this very issue of how to protect yourself against the variant and what does it mean for waning immunity, do we need to get boosters. I think right now the most important thing is stay tuned and know that this information will be forthcoming and everything will be done that can protect the population will be done. And two quick things. Not quick, but one is the Breakthrough Cases. How concerned are you because of delta . And the other is something that is reported that dr. Fauci is considering, asking for billions in a Warp Speed like program to develop new vaccines now for future variants that could be easily reprogrammed for what we expect down the road in years to come . Well, the Breakthrough Cases with the Delta Variant are a concern. We do know that were seeing a number of them. We do know that particularly in the older population people may be immune compromised, they may be more serious illnesses. But were also concerned about, will people who have Breakthrough Cases be able to transmit the virus to others . What does that mean . And, again, this is a very rapidly developing area of science, and i think within days youre going to be hearing much more about what weve learned. Remember, science is all about correction. We correct ourselves all the time as we learn new things, as we are able to bring new information to the table. So thats really very, very important. As far as the program that youve mentioned that dr. Fauci talked about, we are all obviously supportive of the fact that this is not our last rodeo. This particular pandemic is going to happen and continue to happen, but in fact that there will be others in the future. So we need to be better prepared. Imagine if we had these vaccines ready to go a year ago last january. And so this is, i think, an outstanding effort on the part of the nih to get us better prepared for the future. Dr. Michael osterholm, you are invaluable. Thank you. And turning overseas to italy, where because of the Delta Variant spread, the government is announcing a new Green Pass for entering most public venues. The pass will confirm the person has either received at least one dose of vaccine or has had a negative Covid Test in recent days. Nbc news is in rome. How are the italian people responding to this new requirement that will go into effect next month . We know a similar requirement in france was met with a lot of protest. Reporter well, andrea, well say the vast majority of italians are in favor of not only getting the vaccine but the Green Pass. Almost half of the country is now fully vaccinated, so theyre not going to have any problem in getting in indoor places, like restaurants, which starting from August The 6th will only be accessible indoors for people who have a dose of vaccine or a negative test within 48 hours or theyve recovered from covid. But of course there are a lot of people who are against it, for instance, a lot of people, Tens Of Thousands of italians demonstrated against the Green Pass in 81 cities all across italy. So this morning we asked a few people what they thought about the Green Pass and this is what they had to say. Take a listen. A lot of people still that dont believe in science, basically, and its been like more than almost two years that we are in this covid era, and we need to go out of it as soon as possible. In my case, next week i will get married here in rome, so through the Green Pass all the people could be at the event. Through the Green Pass, we can come back to life. Reporter we also spoke to a young man who told us that he was against vaccination and the Green Pass because he said that this country, by stopping people like him from entering indoor public places, is returning to fascism and dictatorship, andrea. We have a lot of that opinion here in the u. S. As well, as you well know. Thank you so much.

Congressman has joined the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the capitol, defying threats from republican leader Kevin Mccarthy to punish them. Iraq War Veteran and trump critic, Adam Kinzinger was picked by the House Speaker over the weekend, joining Liz Cheney, of course. Cheney will be giving one of the opening statements at the hearing tomorrow, treating her as a Ranking Member. Four Police Officers who fought off the mob January 6th are scheduled to testify about what they experienced that day, rebutting the lies about that Experience Prop Ul Pop gated. I just feel betrayed by law enforcement, calling for law and order, and then when they had the chance to hold people accountable, they head their head in the sand and pretended like nothing happened. I was severely beaten and also electrocuted numerous times with a taser at the base of my skull. It was a horrible experience. As everybody, republicans and democrats, take it serious. And joining us now, Nbc News Capitol Hill Correspondent Leigh ann coldwell. Just now they had their first gettogether of the group prior to tomorrows big hearing, and Liz Cheney was asked going in, what about Kevin Mccarthys threats to punish them, she and kinzinger and the fact that hes calling them Pelosi Republicans. Heres what she answered. Pelosi republican . This is very serious business. We have important work to do and i think thats pretty childish. And her response, if you could hear it, was that they have important work to do. So shes standing firm in her posture and now shes joined by kinzinger. What do you expect to see tomorrow. Reporter thats right, one thing that representative cheney and Adam Kinzinger have both said privately and publicly is they are not concerned about any sort of repercussions from Leader Mccarthy or any other republicans within their conference and theyre not concerned with repercussions that they might face in their districts, either. They think that this is extremely important and republicans excuse me, the democrats on this committee are saying that representative cheney has shown a tremendous Work Ethic and a commitment to get to the facts and to get this job done. Now, democrats on the committee also wanted Representative Kinzinger to serve as well. Theyve both been likeminded with the democrats and Speaker Pelosi on January 6th and the lies that the former president has been spewing since the election. And, you know, as far as what were going to see tomorrow, we are going to hear for the first time four Police Officers who were on the front lines on January 6th. Weve heard them talk in the media, but this is the first time that they will be giving their account in a professional, official capacity to members of congress. And they have become the spokespersons of this trauma that theyve experienced, and i will say a lot of Capitol Police officers that ive been speaking to over the past few months, they have wanted this. They want the people to hear from rankandfile members, because mostly weve heard from leadership. So this is going to be a very, very emotional account tomorrow, andrea. And most recently we heard the tape for the first time of the March Interview at maralago with our leagues, Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig with former President Trump saying that the Capitol Police welcomed them in and that this was not a riot, basically, and that they werent suffering the kind of ptsd that in my interview i saw visibly and heard, from his own account. Reporter thats right. What you see from former President Trump is him continuing to downplay this violent insurrection, this violent attack on the headquarters of congress and the capitol building, as well as his supporters chasing Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers, trying to essentially trying to kill them, threatening their lives. And what you hear from republicans are really this retelling of January 6th. Former President Trump saying it was a loving crowd and the other congressman calling it a tourist visit. We know it was not any of those things, it was violent and scary. And these lawmakers are really trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Youre going to hear the officers tell this emotional testimony. I should tell you at the White House, Kevin Mccarthy, house minority leader, as well as House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, they were here at the White House for the president delivering remarks. Kevin mccarthy, i said what do you make of these two republicans being on the committee, and he replied in two words, words that you uttered, Pelosi Republicans. Steny hoyer, he told me that while he doesnt want to name names on who he wants to see testify, he says that people who were around President Trump, as well as White House officials, people who knew what was going on, was possibly going to go on on January 6th, either before, during or after the day, all of those people should have to come to testify. This is going to be something thats going to be closely watched. The White House has said they want to leave this to congress largely. But you can imagine the president and White House are going to be watching very closely because they have said that January 6th was an abomination, it was wrong and needs to be rectified. Thanks to both of you. Joining us, House Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer of maryland. Thank you very much for being with us. Good to be with you, andrea. Its good to be with you. We just saw pictures of Kevin Mccarthy in the Rose Garden. First of all, this is notable. I dont recall democrats ever being asked to sign in at ceremonies during the trump years, but Leader Mccarthy was there and was at the ceremony honoring angela merkel. This is clearly an effort by this president to talk about being bipartisan, and this bipartisan moment in the Rose Garden is what mccarthy had to say when asked whether he was going to punish Kenzinger And Cheney for participating in the now democratled January 6th committee. Some republicans have been saying that the gop should play ball on this committee. Really . Who was that . Adam and liz . Well arent they kind of like Pelosi Republicans . And then he was asked whether he would punish them and he said, well see. He called them Pelosi Republicans. First of all, your reaction to that . Thats absurd. If anybody looks at the Voting Records of mr. Kenzinger and mrs. Cheney, they will know that they havent voted with Speaker Pelosi except on the most bipartisan of bills. They are real republicans. Liz cheney, of course, daughter of the Vice President of the united states who was the whip when i first came to the congressman of the united states, the republican whip. These are people who come from conservative republican districts who have represented republican values. The difference is, and this is the key, they both believe in the truth. That ought not to be a partisan issue. Truth ought to be an intellectually honest pursuit and thats what Liz Cheney and Adam Kenzinger are going to do. And very frankly, if they think Chairman Thompson doesnt Do The Right Thing or other members dont Do The Right Thing, theyre going to call them out. Im absolutely convinced of that. They have the Courage And Commitment to do so. On the other hand, they believe that that happened on January 6th was the worst event that weve seen since the Civil War in terms of insurrection and trying to, by force, stop democracy from working. The american people need to know the who, what, where, when and why. Why did it happen, who facilitated, and of course we want to know how to stop it. But what we want to find out, what was the genesis of this . We know a lot. We saw on television the president riling up these folks and deploying them to the capitol and inviting them to washington to stop the steal. And his implication was, any way you can. And so the speaker has been absolutely right to pursue this, pursue it vigorously. The members of this committee, i think, republican and democrat, are very sound people, very honest people, and they want america to know that theyre going to get at the truth. Not a republican truth, not a democratic truth, but the truth. To get at that truth, do you need to subpoena Kevin Mccarthy, for instance, who you know was on the phone with President Trump in real time, and have been plenty of reports about an angry conversation they had when Kevin Mccarthy was reportedly pleading with the president to help and send in the National Guard . And if you do subpoena Jim Jordan or Kevin Mccarthy or other eyewitnesses, do you have the experience of the weakness of the subpoena power, because of the courts . It took two years to get Don Mcgahn to get the courts to approve Don Mcgahn to agree only after a Court Order to testify. You dont have two years. Andrea, i understand that. But i expect the committee to do what it thinks is necessary to do to get to the truth. And i think, yes, Kevin Mccarthy clearly was an eyewitness and a participant in at least talking to the president. I dont know what his role was, but in talking to the president. I think the american people ought to hear from him what he said and what the president said in return. There are a lot of us who believe, we dont have hard evidence, that the president was part of the delay in deploying troops to the capitol to protect the capitol and the process of our democracy. As a matter of fact, i talked to Governor Hogan and he said i am prepared that afternoon, he said im prepared to send the National Guard, but i cant get approval from the department of defense. We need to know why. Let me ask you about the reason youre at the White House today, because its the 31st anniversary of the passage, bipartisan passage, of the americans for disability act. Overwhelmingly. I have to say, i covered it at the White House as a correspondent, and i believe that this was one of the most important things that ive ever covered at the White House, and also from Capitol Hill as a congressional correspondent. Its one of the great civil rights achievements of the modern era. And ive experienced it personally in my family and the recounting by the President Today of Tom Harkin Signing from the Senate Floor for the first time. He was one of the chief sponsors, and Bob Dole and the others. Thats a great memory. The president said people dealing with longterm effects of covid could qualify for disability. Is this community going to fight that . Where are we on the future of this . Well, i think that hes accurate, that apparently we dont know, but apparently covid19, even if you get well, can have some lingering debilitating effects, and if thats the case then, yes, its a disability that undermines your ability to perform life functions. If thats the case, or if its perceived that thats the case and, therefore, you are discriminated against, it ought to come under the americans with disabilities act. I agree with the president on that. And, finally, infrastructure, the bipartisan plan, is today do or die, if it doesnt come today . Well, ive talked to a number of senators. I dont know whether its going to come today or some people talked about wednesday. Of course they had a vote last wednesday that didnt get republican votes. But getting an Infrastructure Bill through is essential, i think, for america, for the american people, and for our economy. And i am very hopeful that we are going to pass an Infrastructure Bill and then it will bear the imprint of not only the senate and the bipartisan bill that theyve got, but also the imprint of the House Bill that we passed a couple of weeks ago. A very, very good bill, broader, less money, but broader than the Senate Bill. The Senate Bill has more money, but it is more narrow. Surely we ought to be able to reach agreement, because i think the overwhelming number of republicans and overwhelming number of democrats when i say overwhelming, 65 votes in the senate believe that infrastructure is critical if were going to grow our economy, grow jobs and be competitive in the 21st century. Im hopeful we can come to an agreement. And as you mentioned so well, the ada was a very tough bill to pass, as you know from covering it, how hard we had to work to answer all the questions. On the other hand, when it came to a vote, significant bipartisan vote. I would hope that would happen with infrastructure. Before i let you go, sorry, just one more quick thing. Youve talked about how important this January 6th committee is. If its that important, what about the criticism from tom cane, who was of course the Ranking Member on the 9 11 Commission Panel . They worked for years, they worked every day fulltime and the criticism is that congress is going home now. During that work period, why arent you guys staying and working on this fulltime . Well, we have a select committee to do just that, to work fulltime. Chairman thompson and the members of the committee are committed to working fulltime. Theyre going to be working every day in august. But there wont be anything for members to do that are not on the select committee to be in washington. What there will be is a product, and there may be actions recommended by the select committee. In addition to that, we will have Committee Meetings from time to time in august, which may deal with aspects of that. But the select committee are the ones who are going to be doing the work, andrea. Theyre the ones who will be interviewing witnesses, calling witnesses, making decisions on what we need to know and how we can find it out. It wont be the other members of congress. So its like any committee, it can do its work without the congress being in session. Thats what i expect to happen. Steny hoyer, House Majority Leader, thank you so much. Thanks for your patience with us today on all sorts of subjects. Great to see you. Thank you. And more on the hearing thats coming up in a few moments, but first, foreign agent .

The 74yearold expected to enter a plea of not guilty on charges that he worked as a foreign agent for the United Arab Emirates to influence american foreign policy. Joining me, national Security And Justice correspondent Tom Winter. Tom, a couple of points from my reporting. First of all, i want you to clarify for our audience, because when we first heard this indictment it wasnt entirely clear. This is not failure to register as a lobbyist. This is a different and more serious charge by a lot of peoples measure. Second of all, the indictment doesnt mention any money he received for it, but i have plenty of sourcing from my information, this was part of his overall involvement with the uae and that involved huge amounts of money for his involvement. Right, andrea. A couple of different things. To address your first question, yes, this is much more serious than, say, Tom Winter does work, Public Relations for some foreign government and i didnt fill out the paperwork. This is somebody who is acting on behalf of and directly on behalf of a foreign government. Its much closer to spy than it is to, oh, i happened to pick up work working for such and such country and i got paid X Amount of dollars. So, yes, this is much more serious than that, and the penalty for it, he could face up to ten years in prison. Doubtful we get there on this particular case, but the penalties are much more stiff rather than the five years for failure to register. So thats the first point. The second part of this is, part of that statute, working on behalf of a foreign government, you dont have to prove that there was compensation, or how much the compensation is. Theres no trip wire, oh, he got paid more than A Million dollars, so, yes, he violated the law. None of that is included in this statute. Thats why its not included in the indictment. It would be interesting to know, and we have not seen any Court Filings yet, that detail that specific Dollar Amount that he received from them as part of his overall work, andrea. Tom winter, all over this. Thank you so much. And demanding answers this time tomorrow, the first hearing into the deadly capitol riots as weve been reporting.

The only thing stronger than us, is you. The house January 6th select committee kicking off its investigation into the deadly attack tomorrow. Lets bring in two former prosecutors to hear what they would ask of the witnesses if they had the chance. Joining us, two former u. S. Attorneys, joyce vance. The failure to anticipate the attack is one of the big questions. The fbi did issue a warning based on social media posts, but Capitol Police did not consider those online threats credible, according to the senates investigation, at least. So what questions would you want to ask the Fbi Director if he were to be called before the committee . This is a great place to start, andrea. Its critical to reconcile the discrepancies we have between the head of the Washington Field Office of the fbi. He said the bureau had no intelligence of anything beyond first amendment protected activity, with the clear reporting from The Field office, which talked about folks who were intent on going to war, and even Parler Sent Tips to the fbi. Understanding how that information was handled and why it didnt reach the top levels of the fbi will be important to diagnosing to problems here and preventing a reoccurrence. And another big shocker was how outnumbered Capitol Hill Police Officers were. They werent equipped. Theyve had a big change in management, as recently as last friday, with the former Montgomery County retired Police Chief coming out of retirement to take over. Is it that leadership or the whole hierarchy of how the Capitol Police have to notify each house, Ranking Members, not Ranking Members, and all the paperwork, if you will, they have to go through before they can do something . Barbara, im sorry. Sure. I would put the onus of that Question Right at the feet of chris wray. One of the things he has consistently testified is the Fbi Cant go around monitoring social media, but they can do that if they open whats known as a threat assessment. They do that for political conventions, major Sporting E events. It is unclear in light of this Threat Environment why they didnt do that here. So i would focus on those questions, because if they had done that, they would have had all this intelligence that they most certainly would have shared with the Capitol Police and others. So i want to understand that. Was there something about the nature of this or who was communicating it that prevented the fbi from doing what it does in most situations involving a big event when theres a threat situation. And, joyce, let me get back to the Chain Of Command question, both internally with the Capitol Police and also between the defense department, the White House and what other authorities to get the National Guard there . There are a lot of questions in this regard, and, for instance, theres testimony from the former head of the National Guard who says that had he been permitted to intervene earlier he believes that events on January 6th could have turned out differently. It will be important to understand what he means when he says that, what would the changes have been, and also to understand this timeline of the request for permission to respond and when it was granted. That timeline is unclear in many ways. There are elements missing from the Armys Narrative in this regard. Its important to get witnesses under oath when you have these sort of discrepancies. Sometimes its just a failure to be clear, but other times you can find important Decision Points where information was perhaps withheld, where people are hesitant to respond, and thats whats really important here, is to determine who was responsible for this chain of events that led to the failure. Were going to have to leave it there. So much more coming told. Well be on this live. And we need to take a moment to recognize the passing of a major civil rights leader, bob moses. In the 60s, he left his job as a schoolteacher to help Register Voters in rural mississippi. He faced extreme violence. According to the New York times, a cousin bashed his head with a knife handle, but moses still went on to register a farmer to vote that day. Later he earned a masters in philosophy from harvard, before starting a project dedicated to Teaching Math as a means to equality. A great man, he was 86 years old. And reform in the ranks. Congress finally poised to change how the military prosecutes serious crimes, including Sexual Assault. We have to a lot to thank. Senator Kerstin Gillibrand here to talk about her yearslong battle.

It comes after Jack Reid has agreed finally to take prosecutions out of the Chain Of Command and turn them over to independent prosecutors. Thank you for joining us senator gillibrand. This is a huge victory for you. Lets talk about the next steps towards it becoming law. The next steps are the House Of Representatives will take up the measure. They may mark it up uniquely and differently. Either way they will consider whether or not they have a serious crime. Crimes with a penalty of more than a year. And all of the commissions recommendations to make a special victims crime community. Which is what i fully support. The bill is the most historic and Row Bus Reform for Military Justice in my lifetime. Under the strong leadership we were able to bring it all under one bill. I want to point out to our viewer there is is so many important repercussions of this just most recently the whole gullien case. And also the case of the woman in texas that was reporting abuse by a fellow soldier and she was murdered, and what happened to vanessa is just one terrible example of the occurrences. The reason we want to bright line for all of these serious crimes is they are so many cases where people who had a history of Domestic Violence are murdered. We have seen it in Domestic Violence, among service members. And in the vanessa guillen case, her case would not have been given to a Special Prosecutor and we know a lot of crimes are used as ways to cover up Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Issues of stealing money, fraud, those are often the result of Domestic Violence where perpetrators try to isolate and dominate the person they are attacking and harassing. So we want this bright line because when we looked at this issue eight years ago our allies made a decision to professionalize their military. And they gave it to military prosecutors. They are seeing no Command And Control over the many years of control. That has worked in other places. It is for everyone so that you are not just privileging one set of plaintiffs or defendants over another. What have you found about the disparity in the current military Prosecution System . Over the last few years the dod did research about this. They published multiple reports and they started to report on data. We had data on Sexual Assault for ten years now. We had data on the percentage of cases considered, the percentage of those considered. And theyre all going in the wrong direction. We also see it going in the wrong direction. Unfortunately people of color are punished at a higher rate in the marines. Up to 2. 61 times more hikely to be punished. So that is additional data. If youre going Tohe System for the benefit of that class of plaintiffs and defendants it makes sense to make sure you have a bright line on all felonies. So that anyone that accrues will accrue to anyone in the criminal justice system. That matters. So you have to make the system better for all plaintiffs and defendants. And the fact that they sacrifice so much every day, why wouldnt you do it for everyone. Congratulations, you have gotten this far. Well follow this very closely as you get over the next hurdle. I will not diminish any chances when youre behind a big like that. That does it for Andrea Mitchell reports. Well have more coming up with meet the press daily. Ng up wih meet the press daily.
