Sexually harassed current and former new York State employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile Work Environment for women. The investigation released today by the new York Attorney Generals Office documents allegations against Governor Cuomo by 11 women. The investigators interviewed 179 witnesses and collected Tens Of Thousands of pieces of evidence to corroborate the o allegations. Those investigators describe their findings at todays Press Conference. On november 16th, 2020, in the executive mansion, the governor hugged executive Assistant Number one and reached under her blouse to grab her breast. The governor also several times inappropriately touched a State Trooper assigned to the unit to protect the governor. Employees recounted a pattern of similarly offensive comments and conversations, such as the governor repeatedly asking executive Assistant Number one whether she would cheat on her husband, saying to her, if you were single, the things i would do to you. None of them welcomed it, and all of them found it disturbing, humiliating, uncomfortable and inappropriate. And now we find that it was unlawful sexbased harassment. The executive Chambers Culture of fear and flirtation, intimidation and intimacy, Abuse And Affection created a Work Environment ripe for harassment. Shortly after the Attorney Generals Press Conference, Governor Cuomo released a prerecorded video in response to the investigation. He said that the facts are muchh different than the way they aret portrayed in the report, claiming he never inappropriately touched anyone or made inappropriate sexual advances. But much of his response consisted of this. I do kiss people on the forehead. I do kiss people on the cheek. I do kiss people on the hand. I do embrace people. I do hug people. Men and women. I do, on occasion, say ciao bella. On occasion i do slip and say, Sweetheart Or Darling or honey. The governor also released a written response to the allegations in the Attorney Generals investigation. Of its 85 pages, eight of them are just photos of Governor Andrew Cuomo Hugging And Kissino people. Another 15 pages are photos of other politicians hugging and ti kissing people. So far this does not seem to have swayed too many people who have spoken out today, the list of lawmakers calling on cuomo to resign seems to grow by the hour. It includes House Speaker Nancy pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and much of New York delegation. This evening the governors of new jersey, pennsylvania, Connecticut And Rhode island cu released a joint statement. It says this, quote, we are appalled at the findings of the independent investigation by the new York Attorney general. Governor cuomo should resign tha from office. C the leader of the new York Assembly says cuomo has lost Thc Confidence of the chambers democratic majority and cannot remain in office. He also says the assembly will move to conclude its Impeachment Investigation as quickly as possible once the Attorney General has turned over all the evidence from todays report. Just a few hours ago, President Biden joined the chorus, calling for cuomo to step down. H in march you said that if the investigation confirmed the at allegations against Governor Cuomo, then he should resign. So, will you now call on him to resign, given the investigators said the 11 women were credible . I stand by that statement. Are you now calling on him to resign . Yes. Joining our conversation, reports on new York State politics for the Wall Street Journal. Also dounya perry, a former Assistant Attorney in the southern district of New York. Thanks to both of you for joining us. D jimmy, you could not be horrified and gobsmacked by the presentation and the detail and the meticulous i guess they describe it as corroborating evidence that they had to all t the allegations, which were only periodically visible, i think, to the viewing public. What did you make both of the report that was released and the Press Conference today . Well, nicole, i think what was clear was that, as you said, the allegations that have been publicly aired were corroborated with the weight of an investigation that reviewed at documents, that subpoenaed witnesses, testimony that was made under oath. What was also striking to me is that there were new details in this report alleging new re harassment. Mentioned in the top of the show that there was a female State Trooper who was placed onto the governors protective detail after he met her at an event some years ago. There was a requirement that was apparently fudged in terms of length of service that allowed her to serve on the detail. And she described the governor touching her belly, Described H the governor running his finger up her spine. She said that when the governor asked her why she would get married because marriage would just reduce your Sex Drive and also take away her Money And End in divorce. She made a very fine point on this. The governor never spoke this V Way or interacted with male members of his Security Detail in that way. And that was a common theme among all the women who spoke out, that they were treated differently as a result of Thei Gender and that the commentary and the physical interactions all produced what many of them describe as a ceiling of diminishment. Uc to quote, on the list, one of the women who spoke out said she felt working to Governor Cuomo that she was reduced to, quote, just a skirt. Dounya, can you explain this to a nonlegal audience like myself. From the report it says this. While the governor engaged in unlawful sexual harassment, we do not reach in this report a conclusion as to whether the E Conduct amounts to or should be the subject of criminal prosecution. How is that the case . Its a fair question when you see a report of this magnitude, which is researched, just corroborated in so many ways, which is meticulous, to use your word, and which cites allegation after allegation and that has the type and the quality of Nd Proof that we see here, not just witnesses, but we have audio recordings, and theres live stream video, contemporaneous Text Messages and the like. So, when you see kind of evidence, when you see the harm that its done, naturally your mind tends to go to a place of, well, how is this not criminal matter . Clearly there are going to be there should be civil lawsuits, i would imagine. And i dont know that thats going to i dont think anything has been filed yet. But certainly there is evidence, and i think the elements would be met for certain at least Misdemeanor Counts of unwanted sexual touching and the like. So, the scope of this investigation was not to find or even to refer any matters for criminal prosecution. But of course as we know, they draw up that footnote in the middle of their 165orsopage Report and we know already that the d. A. In Albany County has been looking at this and has said hes taking this seriously. So, we see, you know, certainly there will be some activity on the civil side of the ledger. And it seems there will be investigation on the criminal side as well. And dounya, im going to play this. Msis this is the comment from the Albany County d. A. Who spoke exclusively to Nightly News tonight. Th c but i want to ask you about sharing evidence. All this work doesnt have to be done again by an investigative b body, such as the albany d. A. , does it . Absolutely not. Im sure they will turn over alt of their files, and im sure they advised all the witnesses at the time that this could very well be turned over and made public, of course. So, thats not unusual at all. They certainly david suarez up in Albany County has a Road Map and he will get boxes of evidence, so to speak, or hard drives, and well already have a lot of the work done for him. And well just have to make prosecutorial decisions about them. Or and with that insight, let me play david on Nightly News earlier. We arE Conducting our own separate investigation. I think after todays presentation, which here in Albany County, we were witnessing at the same time that the rest of the New Yorkers were witnessing, its pretty clear that we have an obligation here and thus weve reached out to the attorney Generals Office seeking all of the evidence upon which they uncovered and relied upon in their report the allegations early on certainly led myself and other prosecutors with Cop Current Jurisdiction to believe that criminal activity had in fact taken place. But we will conduct our own independent investigation. It will be done expeditiously, and e we will arrive at those conclusions. Be for any victim thats out there who is watching this transmission, please reach out to our office, and we will conduct our investigation as Ou Discreetly as possible. So, jimmy, my question, a criminal investigation, calls to resign from the president of the united states and just about every leading democratic Lawmaker And Policy maker, a spectacular fall from grace. Are people surprised . Many people have watched Governor Cuomo for a long time know that he has a very aggressive style, that he doesnt Broker Criticism well. One of his advisers says he operates at two speeds, get along and kill. One of the things that was conveyed to me when these allegations really first roared into the public light in february and march was that the governor didnt come from a place of strength, that to the extent he had partisan allies, or rather allies in his own e party, they were sort of friendships of convenience. Y many people describe him as a bully, and many people said to me, when a bully gets knocked down, theres nobody to pick him up. Er so, in that regard, it wasnt surprising to see Support Melt G away as quickly as it had. What was more remarkable was that after that first crescendo in march, Governor Cuomo managed to stay in office and go essentially buy himself the time between when this investigation was launched and today. Democrats who dominate the new York State assembly, which has the power of impeachment by and large gave Governor Cuomo this time. This Evening And Today they are saying that they believe theres a preponderance of support for an impeachment vote. Members of the Chambers Judiciary Committee who are currently undertaking an Impeachment Inquiry tell me they think it will take several moren weeks, that they want to take the evidence brought by Attorney General james and combine it with evidence of their own investigation into other areas, including the States Covid19 policies in Nursing Homes and the possible misuse of State Resources to produce Governor Cuomos pandemic memoir, which he expects to be paid 5. 1 million. So, there are many people who areso saying that a resignations possible, but, clearly, theres not anybody piping up in support at this point. Jimmy, new York State Politics Reporter for the Wall Street Journal and dounya perry, former Assistant Attorney in the southern district of New York, thank you so much for neer taking time tonight. Were grateful. I want to bring in the t conversation, new York State senator alexandra biagi. Senator, thank you so much for spending time with s us. You, of course, have some personal interaction. I first want to ask you your reaction to what you saw today. Well, first, nicole, thank you very much for having me on. I think today was a mixture of n feelings. I think there was a sense of gratitude to all of the women who bravely spoke out despite the real reputation of Retaliation And Toxicity that the Executive Chamber where the governor works has. They did so in such a way that allowed these independent investigators to have findings of not only toxic workplace, ot retaliation and violations of State And City law. That was on the one hand. Then in response to this report that Governor Cuomo made, i think the overriding feeling was one of sorrow, not only for the women who stepped forward but really for all women and for all victims and survivors of sexual abuse because what it felt like was happening was the governor was attempting to really en gaslight New Yorkers as to what the report had said. The report was independent. Im sure well get to that. It was very thorough. And that was probably one of the most disappointing but really one of the most sad moments of the day today. Er i want to read something that you shared because i think its all connected, what one woman does in speaking out can often a inspire someone who hasnt done so yet. So, i hope youll understand thats the spirit in which im reading this. Y this is something that you describe in new York Magazine in march about a runin at a wedding after you had left hisat office to run for your seat in the state senate. He says, hi, alessandra and pulls me in and kisses me twicei hes holding on to my arm and he looks at my fiance and says, are you jealous. Biagi said i didnt feel sexually harassed, i felt like he was trying to make me feel uncomfortable to disarm me. I play a bit of sound from the Press Conference where they throw all these words in there that arent often used to describe this toxic mashup of inappropriate intimacy, overfamiliar si, power, aggression. I wonder if you can speak to that. At that was given Voice Today as well. Ar i absolutely. And im happy to talk about that. One of the reasons why i shared that experience with Rebecca R Traycer who wrote that article is because i understand the importance of not only sharing these stories but also taking Ae Stand because you never know whos listening, whos reading, whos watching, who also has experienced similar behavior. At that time at that wedding, what i recognized was that the governor was clearly trying to c assert his power. He was certainly trying to make me feel less powerful. Er at the time i didnt experience it or his behavior as sexual harassment, but i know that that is also sometimes the point of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is not always about sexuality or sexualizing somebody. Its about power. Its about disarming the victim. And that goes in line very muchg with the way that his office is run. His office is run as a very toxic environment designed to undermine staff, to destabilize staff, to make you second guess yourself. Its a constant where it feels n like a whiplash between praise and also being valueless that leads a lot of people to wonder whether the thing they experienced is the reality of what they experienced because, again, theres a gaslighting that goes on. I think that in light of the Report Today and given how at t similar the cases are, all of the victims were very young. All not all. A many of them were very young. They were at the beginning of at their careers. They were subordinate. There was a vulnerability. This demonstrates the Governors Abuse of power. Ow its not only inside the Executive Chamber. It is outside the Executive Chamber. It is pervasive. It impacts not just the women that work around him but also k the Function And Integrity of new York State government. Do you believe he will resign . I do not believe that he will resign. So, that is why i continue to call on the assembly because they are the ones with the power to write the articles of T Impeachment to impeach the governor. What that effectively means is the assembly will draft those Eb Articles of impeachment. F those Articles Of Impeachment Ti will be delivered to the senate. There will be a trial effectively and there will be a vote that takes place to remove him from office. I think at this point in time it is very wise for the governor to heed the calls of not only democrats but many different leaders across our government who are calling for this governor to resign. But i do not believe that he will. He is still fighting. I believe people fight even if hes removed from office because this is the essence of who Andrew Cuomo is. I think at the end of the day the most important thing is that New York has someone in place, has a leader that is strong, that is able to lead this state because im sure its not lost on anybody that were also still working through covid recovery. So, we have a lot to do, and i think we need somebody at the helm who really respects new n yorkers and takes seriously their job in a way that does not cause harm to any other person moving forward. New York State Senator Alessandra biaggi were really grateful you made time tonight. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you for having me.

Because just by chance if we came together we would not only get the senate to hear us, we would also get to me act. We will get them to act. That was texas State Representative Trey martinez fisher, today addressing a rally gathered outside the united States Capitol urging congress to passion the for the people bill. The bill remains stuck in the senate. Martinezfisher is one of the democratic legislatures from texas who fled to d. C. Last month in a bid to deny republicans there the quorum they need to pass the states voting restrictions laws. In Todays Rally in d. C. , they were joined by more than 100 State Legislators who traveled from states all across the country to ask the senate to cancel the August Recess to focus on Voting Rights bills. Some in attendance were from places like georgia and arizona, places where voters have passed launched phony audits of election fraud. The legislators have the same concerns as the texas democrats do. They worry that alone they cant stop the current wave of republican antivoting laws and the false narratives fuelling them in their states. They, too, need help from the democrats in washington. Today they received some reinforcements as they were joined on stage by some of the democratic partys biggest stars. Some people dont want some people to vote. This is the Delta Variant of jim Crow Voting laws. And the only vaccination is federal legislation. No recess until we pass the voting Rights Act for every american. No recess until we stop the gerrymandering in which politicians pick their voters instead of voters picking their politicians. We must let everyone understand that freedom is not free, that progress will never remain unless it is struggled for and fought for and worked for and sacrificed for. That is the story of america. Voting rights are peoples rights. Voting rights are about our democracy, and the people will overcome. We will pass this bill. These senators want a Voting Rights bill passed this summer, but they also know that all democrats are not yet on the same page. So, how do they overcome this . More importantly how far are they willing to go to do so . Joining our conversation, minnesota senior senator, Amy Klobuchar is here, chair of the Rules Committee. Senator, thank you so much for making time for us. Its an honor. Its great. Look, weve covered this issue every day in the afternoon, and its really a privilege to get to talk to you. And i wonder if you could pull the curtain back. The democratic legislators feel optimism. They feel theyve conveyed to All Of You they dont need the whole package. They just need something. Is that has that focused efforts in the senate . Yes. And your first speaker you featured was trey, who i consider a friend from texas. Those legislators and really legislates from across the country have come to washington, just as they did actually in the 1960s, asking for salvation. They cant get this done in their states because as Reverend Warnock pointed out in the clip you featured, some people dont want some people to vote. And that is really, really put in Stark Focus In Georgia where their laws literally say the Runoff Period where Warnock And Ossoff Won And Republic sistered 70,000 people, they changed the law just a few months ago and said you Cant Register people. You Cant Vote on weekends during the runoff, and you cant give water from nonpartisan volunteers to people who have stood in line for five hours, six hours like the people we met when we were down there for a field hearing. What the for the people does and your question is can we focus it on what really matters in these states to get at all of these heinous things that are going on to stop people from voting . My answer is yes. And that is what were doing right now with Senator Manchin. And let me be very clear, he has publicly said that he supports the Disclose Act to focus on the dark money in our politics, the gerrymandering, and then also what i am working on right now is to make sure that all of the Voting Rights from Mailin Balloting to early registration to making sure that what happened in georgia, which will be a new part of our bill, that you cant have State Legislatures Usurping The Power of local election officials. Those are the things were talking about, and we are very close to getting an agreement on a time bill. An agreement among whom, though . From the outside and please correct me if i have this wrong it looks like youre still Corralling Democrats and it looks like theres no appetite for doing away with the filibuster. Then what . Okay, first of all, Corralling Democrats is never easy. We have a broad party and we have a group thats working on this from Senator America Merkley who you just saw senator padilla, senator schumer, and Senator Angus King who serves on the Rules Committee with me and many others. What were doing is were putting together legislation, and weve already voted to proceed. It was the republicans that stopped us. Once we get that legislative package, then we will deal with first of all can we get any republican support . I honestly dont think we can. But one must always try. And the second thing is what can we do with our procedural rules in the senate to stop this evil . And there are things, Senator Manchin has indicated a willingness to look at a standing filibuster. I personally think i would abolish the filibuster myself. I think its being used to stop all kinds of things we need to get done. There is some republican support on immigration reform. We cant get it done because of filibuster. There is republican support on climate change. 60 votes. Those things were set up in another time in another place and it has always changed over time and it is time to change it again. And those are the discussions we need to have. But my obvious focus right now is getting an agreement that will make a difference, not some small Ball Thing that wont help but will actually make a difference for these kinds of Voter Suppression efforts that are going on across the country. I know you see this the same way the folks on the Front Line see this. Are you confident that All Of Your colleagues in the senate see it that way . Yes. They have heard from reverend senator warnock, as i love to call him, who when i was down in georgia spoke to his congregation and said vote is really a prayer for a better world, for a better america. They have heard from people like jon tester, whos a strong supporter of the Bill And Campaign Finance Reform because hes seen the changes theyve made in montana, which once had much better Election Laws, or people like Tammy Baldwin in wisconsin, who saw her own voters standing in line in makeshift masks in Garbage Bags in the rain in the middle of a pandemic just to exercise their right to vote. And so i think that makes a difference. And so thats the kind of discussions were having. I know that we will have unity on a bill. And if i dont, ill come on the show and say, sorry, i failed. But i know we will nikole. I know we will. But from there we have to figure out the procedure and how we get this done. And i just refuse as so many people in the past in American Politics whether it is civil rights or other efforts that have advanced our country, it seemed impossible at the moment. But then we found a way to get to the right place. And thats where we need to get because we simply cant deny people the right to vote and tell them they cant get water in line and tell them that, oh, no, you can vote on the weekend sometimes but you Cant Vote on the weekends. And oh, by the way, people of georgia and they did this you need to put your birthday on the inner envelope. Your birthday. Not the day youre casting the ballot, your birthday, which they know will lead to nothing but confusion. This is wrong. And this is, i believe, against our Election Laws. And i believe the vast majority of americans would agree that no matter who wins, democrat or republican. And by the way, we have strong support for this. Both parties that we have to have Election Laws that make it so it is safe for people to vote whether theyre in the middle of a pandemic or not, they can vote how they want, they can cast their ballot how they want. That is the freedom of america. That is our democracy. Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar, it is a real pleasure to get to talk to you about this issue. Im really grateful that you had time to come on tonight. Thank you so much. Thank you, nikole. See you soon. This friday will mark seven months since the deadly attack on the united States Capitol. Many Police Officers are still reeling from the events of that day. What is being done to help them and to further protect our capitol . Well have much more on that story when we come back. Im steven, im 52, and im a makeup artist. I met my husband in 2002. I miss those eyes. Do you think you could fall in love again . Im so ready, you know . So, what do you see when you look at yourself . I see a really long life lived of vast experiences.

See for yourself at botoxcosmetic. Com it was a week ago today that Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn made this impassioned plea before the house select committee investigating the January 6th riot. I want to take this moment to speak to my fellow officers about the emotions theyre continuing to experience from the events of January 6th. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional counseling. What we went through that day traumatic. If youre hurting, take advantage of the Counseling Services that are available to us. I also respectfully ask that this select Committee Review the services available to us and consider whether they are sufficient enough to meet our needs. When Officer Dunn pleaded with fellow officers to seek out professional mental support if they needed it, we know that two fellow officers had died by suicide. Yesterday, two more of mr. Dunns fellow officers had their deaths ruled suicide. By Law Enforcement. The news comes as former President Trump supporters in congress continue to stoke Conspiracy Theories about that day. And as we continue to learn new details about the former president s efforts to overturn the election. Abc news is reporting just over a week before the January 6th insurrection, one of President Trumps doj officials tried to get the then acting Attorney General to sign off on a letter urging Georgias Governor to investigate and potentially overturn Joe Bidens victory in that state. Top justice officials refused to sign off on the request, but Abc News has obtained emails detailing the plot. Every day it becomes clear that to fully understand what happened on January 6th, we have to look beyond the events of that day. The riot did not materialize out of thin air. Its impact on our country and its impact on our first responders continues to raise serious questions that must be answered. Joining our conversation, California Congressman Pete aguilar who serves on the January 6th committee and frank figliuzzi, an msnbc contributor. Thank you both for joining us tonight. Frank, im going to start with you because i want to try to understand what people maybe outside Law Enforcement cant see about the trauma that the officers that responded to January 6th must still be enduring. What were still doing is were still learning of the casualties of what happened at the capitol. These officers, four of them now, ruled death by suicide, are casualties of a battle that took place in the course of defending our democracy. The culture of Law Enforcement is a closed culture. Its a Culture In which seeking help may be seen as a sign of weakness. But its clear at least to me that when you have four officers from two different departments, washington Metropolitan Police and the Capitol Police, who are experiencing death by suicide, then one commonality is their battle for us, the battle for democracy on January 6th. Then that seems to be linked to their demise. And those two departments have got to collaborate on an in Depth Study of what happened and why but most importantly, most imminently, they must offer very professional experienced help, even mandated if necessary. Because while we dont keep accurate statistics on Officer Suicides in this country, the available statistics we have seem to indicate that suicide may be the Number One cause of death for police in this country. Congressman, you dont have to be an expert to understand that trauma is exacerbated when people deny both the trauma and the traumatic event itself. Is there nothing of a break through that can be reached with your republican colleagues to at least honor the sacrifices made by the Men And Women who protected All Of You that day . Well, first our thoughts and our prayers go out to these officers families and their colleagues. And as Officer Dunn noted, his plea for his colleagues to seek the help that they need. You know, were going to continue to offer the resources we can. The best way to honor our Law Enforcement heroes who were that last line of defense on democracy on January 6th is to get to the bottom of what happened leading up to January 6th and the role that the Big Lie played. But also we passed a supplemental appropriation bill, a fancy term for more resources for the Capitol Police and the national guard. But making sure we put those resources into wellness for these officers. Those are the types of things we can do if we really want to honor their commitment that day. Frank, what would you say is the most important thing to make sure that these first responders understand that the vast majority of americans do, as you write today, have their back . Its important for them to get up out of the Rabbit Hole that Law Enforcement officers often find themselves in. Its often an us versus them mentality. You only speak to each other. You only get your news from a certain source, and boy, doesnt that describe many americans today. They need to get their heads up and realize that the vast majority of america is with them because they were with us and that we are rooting for their success. We want the changes to take place at the capitol. We recognize the incredible Security Review done by retired general honore. We recognize there is a sitting select committee to get to the truth, get to the bottom of this. Thats the majority of america. Thats what they need to know. Thats what theyre protecting is Truth And Freedom and justice. Congressman, you talked about getting to the truth of what was behind the attack. It seems increasingly clear that will include subpoenas for some of your republican colleagues in the house. When are those expected to go out . Well, ill let the chairman speak for the timing of this, but what he has said and what we have said very clearly is that no one is above a subpoena. And we will get to the truth. And we will use every tool available to compel folks to help us get to the truth. But as you mentioned, that isnt just what happened on January 6th. Its everything that led up to this. How is this funded . How was this organized . What role did these groups play in trying to overtake our democracy, trying to overrun the capitol. So, if we truly want to honor those Law Enforcement professionals, we look to them. They told us directly last week seven days ago, they told us to get to justice and accountability. Thats exactly what this select committee will do in a nonpartisan way with democrats and republicans around that table. I believe the exact quote, their directive to you was that when theres a hitman, you send the hitman to jail but then you go and find the person who hired and paid for the hitman. That was their request of All Of You. Congressman Pete Aguilar of california and former assistant at the fbi, frank figliuzzi, thank you so much for joining us tonight and being part of our coverage. It is no secret that the Delta Variant is spreading in the united states. Can we stop the spread . One major city just took a step designed to encourage more people to get vaccinated.

In the past two weeks weve seen a 55 increase in the average number of new people getting vaccinated every day. In the last seven days alone, nearly 3 Million americans have gotten their first shot. Thats the highest Sevenday Total in a month. Importantly, over the past two weeks the eight states with the highest current case rates have seen a doubling of people newly vaccinated each day. The message is getting through apparently. This Afternoon President Biden updating the nation on the fight against the coronavirus, both here at home and abroad. As we cross an important vaccination milestone. As of today, more than 70 of the American Adult Population has received at least one shot of the coronavirus vaccine. Obviously, time is of the essence. And for that reason, a growing number of private sector businesses and offices have recently mandated vaccines for all of their employees, as well as their customers. And new York City became the the first city in the country to require proof of at least one shot of the vaccine to dine indoors or go to the gym or attend a performance. Question now is will it work to keep cases down and will other cities and states follow suit. Joining us is dr. Vin gupta, critical care pulmonologist, and Faculty Member for Health Mettics and evaluation at the university of washington. It feels like its the point in the pandemic we should celebrate good news. There has been so much to be alarmed by and the fact that these harrowing accounts coming out of mostly southern states either had an impact or they were seeing things up close and personal that they couldnt process, maybe from the Nations Capitol and vaccines and Vaccine Participation is way up. You bet, nicole. Good evening. Today was a consequential day. We cannot minimize it. Number one, what you said, new York City mandating proof of vaccine for restaurants. This will be a paradigm more cities and local jurisdictions will emulate. People like timeout. This is a smart move. I have been waiting for this day for the last two months since the cdc had their revised Masking Guidance in may. Number two, big, big move with tyson. Tyson foods. Moving their essential Front Line Blue Collar staff, their hourly paid staff towards mandating the vaccine. If they dont get the vaccine, they dont have a job. Thats a Big Consequential move. Up until now its been corporations that have allowed the corporate employees to make that decision. Well, get the vaccine or you can stay home. This is a first move for a Blue Collar organization. You are going to see a lot of organizations who fastly follow. Lastly, the Fda Acknowledgment that they are going to be moving towards approval of the Pfizer Biontech Vaccine by labor day weekend. A lot of dominos are going to fall, nicolle, including hopefully, Department Of Transportation will consider mandating proof of vaccine for travel. Young people want to travel. If you have to show proof of vaccine to travel, that will increase rates significantly in addition to schools, colleges, universities. If we mandate polio for schools, we should be able to do the same for the covid19 vaccine. Many tomorrow knows are going fall. Its going to increase rates. I want to just ask you to sort of expand on that because people, i know viewers at rachels program, viewers of this network, have a lot of Trust And Faith in the science and the Emergency Use is something we cover very closely. It is a very careful and meticulous approval process. But among the vaccine hesitant, that final approval is a huge deal. Could you expand on that a little bit . Of course. You know, there is in notion this has been a rushed process. Its been anything other than that. What has been consolidated i get this question all the time. Well, hey, doc, why did it take only 12 months when it normally takes five to ten years . Thats on the top of mind of many people. Its been the nonscience parts of the Vaccine Development waiting for money, waiting for people to enroll in the studies, waiting for the nih to say you can go to the next phase. All that bureaucratic nonscientific components have been consolidated as part of Operation Warp speed. We need to take it to heart. The Science Hasnt Cut corners. Its the bureaucracy of it. Thats why it takes five years. To emphasize to All Of Your viewers, Kaiser Family Foundation came out with an important study recently. Less than 1 of cases detected across the country are Vaccine Breakthrough cases. In some cases less than 0. 01 , places like connecticut all Vaccine Breakthrough cases. 95 of those hospitalized in the united states, we have 6,000 new hospitalizations every seven days for covid19, 95 of those are unvaccinated people. These vaccines work. And we need to make that message really clear that you only need two shots of the vaccine to be kept out hospital, especially if you are otherwise healthy.
