Antimaskers are teaming up with the proud boys to threaten School Boards over mask mandates. While one School Board Meeting in North Carolina was so chaotic, attendees attempted to overthrow the officials and install themselves as a new board. Theres also Something Else thats happening right now about 3,000 miles away from the u. S. In brazil. Stay with me because there is a connection. Today is brazils independence day. Tens of thousands of demonstrators came out in support of their president , jair bolsonaro. Bolsonaro won a closely watched president ial election in 2018 and his victory signalled the countrys shift to the far right. He has praised the Countrys History of Military Dictatorship and has advocated torture. He was able to win the presidency by tapping into the resentments held by the while upper and upper upper middle classes in a country that like the u. S. Is rife with antiblackness and racism. During the pandemic, bolsonaro downplayed covid despite getting covid himself. Sound familiar . He hawked Snake Oil and fake cures as the illness ravaged his country. Also familiar. He described covid, the virus killing more than 500,000 brazilians as just a little flu. I mean the similarities are downright eerie, right . There is a reason that he is called the trump of the tropics. Its a good reminder that this stuff is happening all over the world. Hungary, italy, australia and the philippines. Wannabe strong man politicians leveraging populist movements to get power. Steve bannon called it the second most election in the world. All these operatives, mind you, theyre in cahoots. Just last Week Brazil hosted its own cpac, the conservative political action conference. In this case the Make Brazil great again. One of the speakers, Form Erp Trump aide jason miller, was briefly detained as part of an investigation of antidemocratic acts. While in Brazil Miller met with bolsonaro and the far right supporters. The Tens Of Thousands that we saw swarm the capital. They were answering their leaders call to invade the Supreme Court which is investigating the president and his allies, with critics fearing the rightwing mob would emulate the violence that we saw here in the u. S. On January 6th, which now brings us back to those School Boards. These rightwing populist mobs using Thuggery And Violence to get what they want. These tactics arent confined to these massive calls to arms. Were now seeing it all over the place, in red states, in covid states. These mini insurrections where political operatives are Training Parents to disrupt meetings and intimidate schools to erase u. S. History from School Books and to join their right to die and maybe kill others crusade. These are planned, engineered strategies, just like we saw with the Gop Obsession with critical Race Theory. Dont believe the hype or the lie. That whole critical Race Theory thing, that was a calculated effort to create a boogieman in schools to make white people fear their existence was at stake. All to win suburban Swing Voters to take Back Power in 2022. Notice how we didnt hear too much about critical Race Theory anymore . We dont hear it that much. Thats because theres a new strategy in up to and it involves activating parents and even people with no kids in the school to harass and heckle Health Care professionals who are advocating for masks. Not more masks no more masks shot abusers. Theres a bad place in Hell And Everybody is taking notes, buddy. I wasnt kidding about that mob violence. Joining me now is former Missouri Senator Claire Mccaskill and tim miller. Senator mccaskill, i have to start with you first. I think that people too often tend to look at January 6th as an isolated incident, isolated to washington and isolated to the trump reelect. But it is in so many ways just a sort of first round, a Running Start at something that the right is doing not just all over this country, at School Boards first over critical Race Theory and now over masks, but really its happening all over the world. This is like classic fascist strong man bullying tactics. Do you get the sense that your fellow democrats that you formerly served with in washington understand that . Well, i will be honest with you, joy. There are a lot of democratic senators that still are kind of disbelieving that their colleagues are remaining so quiet in the face of what has happened in the republican party. You know, a lot of republican senators kind of, you know, broke their teeth in in politics on a republican party that had things it cared about. It cared about free trade. It cared about fiscal conservatism, it cared about a global assertion of democracy, it had there were things public policy things they cared about. Now this republican party only has two things it cares about. It wants to make sure that people who dont agree with them cant vote, and it wants to insite Culture Wars. And the closer they can insite those Culture Wars to the people, the better. And so what The National, quote unquote, new republican national groups are doing is theyre funding these elections around School Board recalls, around state legislative races. We, the democrats, are focused on electing senators and governors and President S and congressmen. Meanwhile, these guys, these evil geniuses, are trying to really focus on grassroots stuff and inciting people to make it all about grievance, just about what makes you mad, not about what inspires you, not about what you aspire to be. So thats what you see going on with these School Boards. Thats what you see going on with these state legislatures. Tim, you remember that party, right . You were one of the people who wrote the you know, the plan to try to broaden the republicans and respond to the fact that President Obama had marshalled, you know, this multiethnic and young coalition. You were one of the people who were saying heres what we need to do to appeal to those other voters. That is a dead idea. There is no attempt to appeal to anyone. Its just brute force. And it does sometimes feel like its the Student Council versus the mafia in American Politics right now, because republicans, look, they may not be good at policy, but they definitely have a longterm plan, which is about growing this Anger Movement from the School Board right on up to the White House and angering as many white people basically as they can and make them hysterically afraid of being literally wiped off the face of the earth just for being white christians and saying youve got to vote for every republican because even if they kill you with covid. It is very disconnected to me. Is it to you . Yeah, look, the autopsy, they didnt just throw it away, i think theyre using it for Toilet Paper at bedminster right now. Still printing out old autopsies of how to appeal to a broader, multiethnic part of the electorate. This other strategy, this new not that new really, but, you know, the other option from the Broadening Option that we proposed in the autopsy was in order to really radicalize and fire up, you know, the Working Class white mostly, but also i think cuban and other communities, parts of the country, with anger at the elites. Anger at the elites on the coast. That is why this is such a bottom up effort. That is why youre seeing this anger at School Boards. Thats why theyre stoking it. And i think that the thing is, joy, is that there was a period of time where a lot of, i think, republican leaders in washington thought that they had control over this, right . They could feed them a little red meat, get the rubes angry, get them upset and control those voters. Then when things come to washington, they can be the responsible ones or do the Chamber Of Commerce things. That whole notion is gone, right . Like they have lost total control. If you look at these videos, its not just oneoffs and one School Board. You can see it at School Boards, at local Election Officials. You know, the anger and the rage that is being directed towards them is very dangerous and it is Part And Parcel of what happened January 6th. And no longer does the, quote unquote, responsible republicans have totally lost control. Many of them are walking out Stage Right and being replaced by new republicans who actually like this strategy and who want there to be more anger and more rage and who saw January 6th and thought, you know, i was okay with that. Or maybe even thought that they were willing to work with the people there, as many of the congressmen did like Paul Gosar and mo brooks. So that adjustment and that difference is really important to understand. You know, claire, i think the important piece of that too, one of the important pieces of that is the idea that they thought they can control it. I can remember Michael Steele saying that the Tea Party was the republicans thought they had a tiger by the tail and they thought they could control it, right . Thats how they thought when it was back in the Tea Party days. But at a certain point you cant. You now have their own votes 65 of americans want to have mask mandates. Their voters dont. Their voters are essentially embracing death, literal Death And Poisoning themselves. Their voters are so extreme now the assumption that you can get that somehow back under control with some sort of Mitch Mcconnell Election strategy to me seems insane. I dont understand it, but that seems to be what republicans think that in the end they can control it. I think its above that now. I dont think they can control these people at all. I dont think they believe they can control it. I think theyre afraid of it, joy. I think they are afraid of the base, the republican party taking them out in primaries. So theyre cowering, theyre hiding under their desks, theyre remaining silent, theyre saying nothing, even when outrageous things happen. I mean the notion that you would have i know this is going to be another segment and i apologize for butting my big nose in it but i cant help it because i care so much about it. I mean give me i would cuss right now if we werent on television. Abbott says today hes going to eliminate rape . What . They are so extreme, theyre now trying to back up a truck where they voted to overturn an amendment that would have exempted rape victims and incest victims from this law in texas. They are now trying to say, oh, well, its not a problem, were going to eliminate rape. The idea that my friends in the republican party in the united States Senate are not speaking up, i know a couple of them have spoken up that this is a bad law, but they have done it very carefully and very kind of quietly and tentatively. This is whats going to get them in trouble, but they are listening to this Echo Chamber and being so extreme. Whether it is the way that theyre going after masks in schools, which most parents want for their childrens protection, or whether theyre saying to a mother we can put a bounty on your head if you take your child to get an abortion after six weeks when your boyfriend has been raping her for six months. Yeah. And very quickly, ill give you the last word on this, tim, because i think afraid of them but also physically afraid. Were hearing these stories of people being afraid not to vote for this stuff because people are threatening to murder people. Theyre threatening to kill doctors who they have actually who treated them. People are calling in death threats to Health Professionals that they then are going to have to turn to if they get covid. Theyre not just afraid of being beaten in primaries, theyre afraid of this mob because this mob is violent. They are. And what youre seeing from this, joy, is youre seeing republican senators and House Members retire rather than face them. But not just them, all the way down. This ties down to the School Board. If you are a republican School Board official or an Election Official like a brad raffensperger, why would you want to run again if you know those threats are coming on your head. Like those threats going at those School Board members. So that means all the way up from School Board to senate, were going to cycle out people that some of the democrats watching this might disagree with on policy but are rational people who dont believe in violence. Theyre cycling out and cycling in are going to be, you know, fully onboard Maga Insurrectionists that are running for these offices. And that change is really important. A whole party full of Marjorie Q. Greens. Think about that and basically the base wants them to fear them because they want to control them, and its not going to happen the other way around. Claire mccaskill, tim miller, thank you. Up next, Greg Abbott as we just heard Claire Mccaskill say theres no worry. Theres no worry for women and girls that they cant get abortions if they have been raped in texas. He has got a plan. So Goal Number one in the state of texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape. Ipso facto, all solved. Meanwhile with the stroke of a Pen Today Voter suppression is now the law in texas. Plus Jim Jordan said Real Americans are done with covid19. Ill get dr. Anthony faucis thoughts on that.

Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another Dvt Or Pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your Bleeding Risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be worth waiting for.

The texas law, it does make it easier than ever before for anybody to go cast a ballot. It does also, however, make sure that it is harder for people to cheat at the Ballot Box in texas. Now lets make this final. Election integrity is now law in the state of texas. Huh, Texas Governor Greg abbott officially signed his states Voter Suppression law this morning, but not before lying about it by claiming that the republican bill makes it easier to vote, referring to the expansion of voting hours in some parts of the state where mainly republicans live. He somehow forgot to mention the reduction of voting hours in the more racially diverse, democraticleaning parts of the state, somehow. And the part where they ban drivethrough and overnight voting, which makes it easier for people who work long or odd hours to vote, which again disproportionately impacts hourly workers and younger people who happen to be more racially diverse. The law also includes criminal penalties for Election Workers and those assisting voters and protections for Poll Watchers who get to ogle voters in that heavily armed state. As well as new voter i. D. Requirements which disproportionately impact people of color. But thats nowhere near the worst gaslighting that abbott did today. Why force a Rape Or Incest victim to carry a pregnancy to term . It doesnt require that at all because obviously it provides at least six weeks for a person to be able to get an abortion. Goal number one in the state of texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape. Just what . Where do you even begin with this . If Greg Abbott knows how to stop all rapes, please sign the rest of the world up. Share your knowledge. But hes also not surprisingly extremely wrong when it comes to the science. I mean very few people realize that theyre pregnant within six weeks. As popular Science Magazine points out, the way that doctors calculate pregnancy is linked to the time of ovulation, so a person likely already is on their second week of pregnancy by the time its detectable. Since it takes two weeks after that for Pregnancy Tests to work, that brings patients to four weeks pregnant. That really gives patients just two weeks, not six, to figure it out before the texas handmaids tale law kicks in. Its called biology and they even teach it in texas schools under his eye. Also, what kind of answer is that, to give a victim of Rape Or Incest, dont worry, dear, you have six weeks to mitigate the Crushing Psychic Damage thats been done to you. Watch out, though, somebody might turn you in for a bounty. Id joined by Austin Mayor Steve addler and former spokesperson handling Voting Rights for the department of justice. Where to begin. We have the New York times reporting that the Justice Department says that they are going to step in to protect Texas Women who are seeking abortions. Merrick garland, the attorney general, has said the Justice Department would protect the constitutional rights of women and other persons under federal Law Access to clinics that have reproductive services. Mayor adler, do you know what that means in practical terms, what theyre actually going to do . We have not. But i tell you, well take all the assistance we can. It is just getting more and more surreal down here in texas almost by the minute. This is the most restrictive Abortion Ban in the country and theres no other way around that. Watching the Governor Today Talk about how his answer is to eliminate rape in the state is outrageous. This bill gives no exceptions for rape or for incest. Just the aspect of creating private vigilantes who are now going to be out seeking 10,000 bounties going after a parent who might be counseling a daughter on this kind of issue, an Uber Driver that drops somebody off. Already we have women fleeing the state trying to get abortions. We have a New Mexican Clinic and 100 of the people showing up are texas residents. We welcome the attorney generals assistants. As a city, were going to do everything that we can. You know, were looking at now our own legislation here locally. Maybe well make it illegal to have the open carry that the legislature just passed but we wont enforce it, well just create our own local bounty for that. I mean this is surreal moment and its wrong. You know, you respond to this as well. In a state that is so open carry you can open carry in a mental hospital, rape is actually much more likely. Theres more violence possible against women because they basically proliferated guns without even having to lift a finger to learn how to use one properly so that makes rape more likely. That makes it more violent. Theyre also unleashing Poll Watchers who in theory could be armed and siccing them on voters. Mainly on voters of color. I dont understand how any woman, any voter, any person of color feels safe in the state of texas right now. As for fleeing, some of these patients are trying to flee to oklahoma where theres already a lawsuit because theyre going to try to make abortion illegal. And thats not going to be a place to run. Your thoughts . Yeah. No, no, no, go ahead. So youre absolutely right, joy. I used to work at the Rape Crisis Center in san antonio, texas. If we didnt have rape, we wouldnt have the the Rape Crisis Center. Its hard to prove rape but Greg Abbott doesnt know that because hes not a woman, has never been pregnant and doesnt know anything about how this happens. So i think its a very scary time for women in texas right now. I know women who have had abortions and wanted pregnancies before. You dont know whether or not your pregnancy is viable until after ten weeks or so once you have further testing. My sister went through this, found out her Pregnancy Wasnt going to be viable until later in her pregnancy. This is something that women are terrified about. It is a handmaids Tale Situation and it is made worse by a government in texas who is out there basically saying theres a bounty on you. So what the Justice Department actually said is that we are going to use every tool to combat this. They have the Face Act that can prevent harassment and prosecute harassment at some of these clinics and thats reassuring. Thats what we did at the Justice Department under obama. But its unfortunate this is what its come down to. Were protecting women that will be harassed and theres no way to overturn this law. It is a very scary time for women in texas. And its not just texas. I want to put up the list of states also considering these laws. Every republican governor wants a piece of this, mississippi, north dakota, south dakota, indiana, arkansas. Mr. Mayor, there have been calls to respond to this with a boycott. Theres been talk, boycott texas was trending over the weekend. The Austin American Statesman reports that portland, oregon, could start boycotting texas very soon over this Abortion Ban. South by southwest could actually start to face boycotts. Texas feels very 1980s South African in so many ways, including voting. Is it time that it be treated the way that Apartheid And South africa was treated with boycotts . What do you think of that as mayor of austin . As mayor of a city right now, we need Help And Support. Wed much rather people focus on bringing resources to organizations in our state that are fighting this, helping the cities and the communities put up a defense to this. Thats really the help that we need. The urban areas in our city have opposed this. The Election Bill is directed at houston in no small measure, certainly austin is the focus of much of this. So we need Help And Support at this point. Thats an excellent point and im glad that you brought it up. The other issue here is maybe texas ought to have a law of putting bounties on people who harass voters and who are armed. The idea of armed harassment of voters in addition to the idea of armed harassment of pregnant women is maybe whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe texas democrats should think about that. What do you think . Well, i think what texans should actually think about, if i were a woman in the state, i would try to organize women walking out on the job and women things dont get done without women, right . If you are going to continue to try to silence women and especially black and brown women, then women should walk out on the job. Women should walk out from their responsibilities and see how the republican leaders in texas feel about that. I think that what youre seeing here across the board is Greg Abbott is trying to silence women and black and brown people. And that is what this is. And that needs to be made clear in the next election. And if the next person who decides to run on the democratic side needs to have that message loud and clear, that he doesnt stand for women, he doesnt stand for black people or brown people. Yeah, indeed. Under his eye. I wish you all well in texas. God bless you all and hopefully this can be stopped before it spreads all over the country. Thank you both very much.

Aid was cut off to 7 Million americans with nearly 3 Million more losing a 300 Weekly Supplement to state benefits. The biden administration has urged states to continue the weekly benefit using federal relief funds, although none have plans to do so right now. About half of the states, almost all with republican governors, had already left the program early. Its the second economic blow for many americans coming just barely a week after the Supreme Courts conservative majority struck down the biden administrations Eviction Moratorium, leaving millions of renters on the brink. So with americans all across the country facing dire uncertainty about how theyll stay in their homes or make ends meet, texas Republican Ted Cruz had some Marie Antoinette Style advice. He said americans should get a job, said the senator who gets paid 174,000 a year in Taxpayer Funds to ditch his constituents during a Freak Storm by jetting off to cancun. Those are my thoughts for the man with a wealthy wife who if he didnt have a job, she would just take care of him. What are your thoughts about what he had to say. Its good to be with you, joy. Ted cruz is as cruel as they come and has constantly debased himself in this area of public service. He famously fled to cancun and left millions of his constituents in the cold literally, and so he has no interest in helping the american people. If he did, he would be fighting alongside people like myself to pass a 15 Minimum Wage so that people are not forced to make Starvation Wages when they reenter the workforce. That is a Market Failure that we are trying as house democrats to fix in the form of things like unemployment insurance, but of course more importantly passing a 15 Minimum Wage. Thank you for saying that because i dont understand how affluent people who wont they wont walk out their door for less than a certain amount of money, think that Working Class people should go schlep into a job that pays them 8 an Hour And Risk dying of covid for poverty wages. It is rational for people to say i dont want to take that risk. I dont have child care, i can barely afford the transportation to get back and forth, but youre asking me to go in and barely make ends meet rather than its a rational choice to say that is not fair. Anyway, thank you for saying that. We do know that there are some states that are trying to extend at least the Eviction Protection. We know new York State is doing it. And there are a few with extended moratoriums. Well put that list up. Minnesota, illinois, california, washington basically blue states. Should the Senate Act in some way or do you have confidence that the senate will do anything . Youve got people like your friend Joe Manchin over there. Do you think the senate will do anything to help these people . And his states poor. It remains to be seen whether just a couple of democratic senators will rise to the occasion and help us overcome the filibuster to pass any number of pieces of legislation, including those economic in nature, to actually allow people to live in dignity in the richest nation in the history of the world. It is shameful that people like myself and Cori Bush had to demonstrate out on the Capitol Steps in order to get this White House to do what it was allowed to do until the Supreme Court through its activism overturned, when it struck down the cdcs Eviction Moratorium. Of course folks like our governor here in New York, our new governor, have moved very quickly to ensure that the more than 2 Billion in congressionally appropriated funds in rental assistance that the state had been sitting on under the prior governor are finally dispersed. But we need a nationwide Eviction Moratorium to ensure that the more than 46 Billion congress appropriated is actually allocated to renters and gets into the hands of landlords who deserve to be made whole of course. Amen. The president is touring the tristate area for Hurricane Ida damage. How is your district doing . What do you need from the White House and from the administration right now . You know, my district, which covers Westchester And Rockland counties, has been devastated by the hurricane. And people understand that that is a direct result of unchecked climate change, which is why house democrats are fighting mightily to include hot climate action in this larger infrastructure package. People, both democrats and republicans ive spoken to in my district understand we need to act boldly to stop climate disasters from occurring. Of course we need to expedite Disaster Assistance in the form of Fema Dollars and ive been pleased to see the president Designate Westchester as eligible for that. Now he needs to do so for counties like rockland. We are working in earnest to make sure that happen as well. A number of my constituents have died in this disaster in the flooding in particular and its just a travesty and so my heart goes out to all of those impacted, including those throughout new York State. Thank you for all that you do. Ive started talking those who are activists in this and its really climate collapse. Ive started to use that term for whats going on. Congressman jones, thank you so much for all that you do. Coming up next, dr.

The number new infections this Labor Day was nearly four times of that one year ago and the number of deaths due to covid is nearly double. Thats thanks to the highly contagious Delta Variant as well as the roughly 75 Million americans who are eligible for the vaccine but refuse to take it. The Washington Post reports in alabama, arkansas, florida, georgia, mississippi and texas, more than 90 of the icu beds in hospitals are in use. Then theres also the Mu Variant thats now been detected in 48 states. According to newsweek completely overshadowing the previous greek alphabet variant, lambda. A large portion of the country is acting like nothing is going on. Thats certainly apparent in College Football as we saw maskless fans packed into stadiums like this one at the University Of Wisconsin In Madison this weekend. Those scenes were celebrated on twitter by republican congressman Jim Jordan who declared that, quote, Real America is done with covid. God bless. First of all, i doubt God Bless is anything that you stand for, assistant coach jim. Covid, its far from done. In fact officials with the World Health Organization delivered the unwelcome News Today that because of the virus continues to mutate among the unvaccinated, its likely here to stay. Joining me now is dr. Anthony fauci, White House chief medical Advisor And Director of The National institute of allergy and infectious diseases. Thank you for being here, dr. Fauci, always great to talk to you. I have to start by asking you what was your sort of immediate thought when you saw all of those fans packed into stadiums in texas, wisconsin and elsewhere . As soon as i thought it, i thought covid is about to have a feast. What did you think . I thought the same thing. I think its really unfortunate. People would like to say were done with covid, but covid is not done with us. And thats really the problem. You cant wish it away. When you have the numbers of infections that you just mentioned a moment ago, i would hope that most of the people in that stadium were vaccinated. Even if they were, the close congregate setting, they should have been wearing masks. Certainly those who were unvaccinated should be wearing masks. I didnt see any of that in the picture that i saw about that, which is really unfortunate because then you lead to outbreak, which leads to hospitalizations, which get to the numbers that you were talking about a few moments ago. I mean what i understood about covid from, you know, as weve learned about it is that the worst thing you can do besides not being vaccinated and not wearing a mask is for people around you to be shouting, singing. Weve heard about cases in churches where choirs are singing. Because as you are singing out or screaming out or yelling out, isnt that how you spread it . Yes. In fact theres very good data in measuring the amount of aerosol and the amount of droplets that come out. You talk softly a little bit, you talk loudly a little bit more, you sing a little bit more, you shout, a lot comes out of both aerosol and droplets. So you would imagine that you were in a Sports Arena where everyone is screaming and yelling that if in fact anybody, and i would be very surprised if that were not the case, if anyone in that crowd is infected, theyre spreading the virus around. So various Family Members have been in places like florida. I not long ago had to be in New Orleans for the day. And i have noticed this covid is over attitude, particularly interestingly enough in states where theres very little vaccination, where the Vaccination Rates are 40 and below. In states with high Vaccination Rates, i was just in New York a week ago, lots of people wearing masks. It seems like the behavior is being reinforced where people are the most vulnerable and where there is more protection. You have high Vaccination Rates and people are also doing the things youre supposed to do to protect yourself. I feel like were almost two countries now. There was a great piece that talked about the fact that if youre vaccinated and you live in a place that has high levels of vaccination, you only have a 1 in 5,000 per Day Chance of being infected with covid. If you live in a place with really high Vaccination Rates, its like 1 in 10,000. Are we essentially creating two countries now, an unvaccinated country where people are getting sick and going to the icu and a vaccinated country . Well, the essence of that is yes and thats unfortunate because nobody wants to see anyone get sick, and certainly we dont want to see the persistent and chronic spread of the virus throughout the community. One of the things that people dont appreciate, for those who dont want to get vaccinated and who dont want to wear a mask, it isnt only about them. Because they may get infected and they may in fact even not get any symptoms at all or get minimally symptomatic. But they are part of the propagation of the outbreak and spreading it to Someone Else who spread it to Someone Else. So ultimately thats going to negatively impact everybody, including people who were vaccinated, because as long as the virus keeps circulating like that, you give it the opportunity to mutate. When it mutates, you can form another variant, which might actually escape the protection of the vaccines. Weve been fortunate that the vaccines that we have now vaccines that we have now are doing very well against all the variants including the Delta Variant. But that could change. And that could change if you get more variants. So people not getting vaccinated are not only potentially harming themselves and their family but theyre potentially leading to the creation of more variants. And thats the thing. Ive been likening it to like the movie alien, right . Where its one kind of alien, then it morphs into another kind and another kind and they just get more powerful as they morph using the Human Body as a host. Right . Its the same thing. I worry that were on mu already. Lambda i was worried about. Now were on mu. Were just going down the greek alphabet. By the time we get to omega i worry it will be unbeatable. Are you worried that were going to have a nightmare this winter as these variants continue to evolve . Are we getting close to one that can beat all of our vaccines . Well, im not saying were close to that, joy. I think that would be a stretch to say that. But i do say theres always the danger that that could happen. You know, when you ask about this fall and this winter, i keep trying to remind people that we could stop this very easily by getting the 75 Million people who are eligible to be vaccinated vaccinated. It doesnt have to be a bad fall. Doesnt have to be a bad winter. We could stop this very easily if we go out and get these people vaccinated because if you have the overwhelming majority of your population vaccinated youre not going to see surges of infection. Its really a shame because its within our grasp, within our power to put a stop to this. Its frustrating. Right. Because at this point its a pandemic of choice. Right . And thats got to be incredibly frustrating for you. I know it is for me. Dr. Anthony fauci, thank you for all that you do. Really appreciate you. All right.

Youre stealing from those who themselves are stealing the lifeblood from our city. You are a parasite who leeches off just like you. Excuse me . I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. Its All In the game, though, right . Hollywood no, no, no, the world. Lost one of the greatest actors of our time. Michael k. Williams. Who has portrayed some of the most iconic characters in film or television. Chalky white in boardwalk empire. Montrose freeman in lovecraft country. And reallife people like bobby mccray, one of the fathers of the central park five. And perhaps most iconically of all, Omar Little in the wire. Here he is talking about his connection to the sensitive gangster from the wire. Particularly with omar, he was fearless. He was outspoken. He suffered not even a little bit from social acceptability. You know. He didnt care what anyone thought about him except the ones he loved. And he had a huge Moral Compass and he wasnt afraid to express it. I was the complete polar opposite. I was frightened a lot of times growing up. I had a very low selfesteem and a Hyung Need to be accepted. The only thing that i knew that i shared with omar was his sensitivity and his ability to love and his ability to love deep. Williams loss is so staggering and so shocking, in part because he was just 54 years old and because of his long struggles with addiction and how that played into how he died. And because of the many, many losses weve endured of black men in the prime of their lives, historically and in recent years. But also because of the way he humanized these black men who he embodied as his costar in the wire, wendell pierce, explained. He may say that he was great, but michael has contributed two of the most iconic characters in the history of American Television with omar and with chalky white. What we are actually getting to witness in his young career, were going to see a lot more, is like one of the Great American actors giving voice and giving flesh to characters that most people would have never given the same humanity to. And so to the brilliant michael kenneth williams, who we had for not nearly long enough in our lives and on our screens, i am going to let you close the show. Face it, man. Look, were from a certain type of people that come from a type of place that look a type of way. You know what that make us . Black. Typecast. If i were typecast id be in jail or dead. But im here. I got out. Got myself out. You sure about that . Yeah. Tonight on All In Election Integrity is now law in the state of texas. [ applause ] texas moves to suppress the vote as the republican frontrunner puts the Big Lie to work in california. The 2020 election in my opinion was full of shenanigans. And my fear is theyre going to try that in this election right here in the recall. Tonight the insidious Evidencefree Movement to undermine elections everywhere. Then would you comply with the committees request to testify . Jim, this isnt a committee. Why
