Yes, were still of course remembering all of the activities that are taking place to remember 20 years after 9 11. Still about 6 00 in the morning right now in the east coast. And the lights display still there. The light will go at sunrise, about a half hour. Those bins of lights replicating the footprint of the twin towers, the Main Street into the sky five miles high. Very powerful tribute there. Yes, it is. Many buildings in blue as a result. We do have a team of reporters and analysts joining us from Doha To Tampa and beyond. Happy to have our team with us. Were going to begin with the new alarming numbers when it comes to covid. The u. S. Are passing 41 Million new infections Last Night. But that another way, there are more people whove gotten covid in america than there are residents in canada. President biden pushing sweeping Vaccine And Testing mandates to curb the surge. The president is being met with staunch resistant from several publican governor, including floridas rhonda scientists, who state just broke a new high in covid related deaths. Nearly 2500 this past week. And the seas Stephanie Stanton is in tampa with the reaction to the new restrictions. Stephanie, good morning to you. The president is pushing for these Vaccine Mandates in many, many places, but there is still a lot of pushback and a lot of this coming from where you are. Yes, good morning to you kendis and lindsey. Indeed, in fact, Governor Ron desists desantis vowing to fight the biden administration on his latest mandates and what he wants to do to try to curb the spread of covid19. Let me set the scene for you here. I am here at the Tampa Bay middle school. Take a look behind me, because you can see a memorial for those that died on 9 11. This of course, as a deadly tragedy continues to unfold here in the state of florida. As you mentioned, we are now seeing record deaths for the third straight week in a row. Florida has broken records for the amount of covid 19 deaths in this state. This is all coming more than 2400 deaths, in fact, reported last week alone. Four of them children under the age of 16. Now, this is all unfolding as the battle over Mask Mandates continues in this state as well. You may recall that Governor Desantis banned any kind of Mask Mandates within local School Boards. As a result of that, a group of parents sued the governor. And what happened was, a judge a couple a weeks ago, issued a stay. Saying that desantis essentially overstepped his duties i actually instituting that ban. Essentially giving it to the choice of parents. Well, now, whats happening is that a judge has said no. That Governor Desantis, until all of this winds its way through the court, that Governor Desantis can in fact continue to ban masks in schools. So, this is not sitting well with a lot of parents. We understand is that this is not going to go back to court until probably the School Year is over. So, at this point, Governor Desantis has vowed to take money away from local school districts, and we are seeing that in a couple of districts here across the state. Im here or at tampa, this is in Hillsborough County. This county, the School Board here, Hillsborough County schools, has actually instituted Mask Mandates as well. So, they are going against the governors orders. All of this is happening, as you said, as deaths continue to rise here in the state of florida. Including some Death Rates among children who are not yet eligible even for the vaccine. So, that is what is happening here on the ground in florida. The battle continues over masks here. Stephanie, what about Business Leaders with some of these new recommendations, requirements, from the biden administration . How are they reacting . It depends who you talk to. There are many businesses who are on board with these biden administration. They want to keep their employees safe. In fact, these are major businesses. Those with over 100 employees, are wanting to help do what they can to prevent the spread. But then again, you have Business Owners here in the state who me side with Governor Ron desantis. Its interesting here on the ground in florida, because there are definitely two sides. There are definitely hard lines drawn on both sides. The governor does have a lot of support here on the ground. So, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. All right, Stephanie Stanton there in tampa. Thank you so much for reporting, stephanie. We want to go now to one of our go to vaccine experts. Of course, doctor Peter Hotez, codirector of the center for Vaccine Development at texas children hospital. Doctor, what do you think about what were hearing from the president . The mandate here that we now know about. And also the messaging. Do you think that if people are required to get the vaccine to go back to work, that will change anything . Do you think the President S messaging, this is about personal choice, its about protecting our community. Do you think that will be resident with people have been reluctant so far . I think the president is in a very tight spot. This epidemic is still accelerating in a terrible rate. Were still at around 1500 deaths every day, and it goes up towards 2000 deaths on some days. And is going to continue like this for the rest of the year. So, were already at 650,000 americans have lost their lives, it will easily get up to 800,000 over the coming weeks. I think what the president is doing is trying to use every lever he can pull and push under the limits of federal power. And thats where the problem really is. He can do all the mandates he wants he, can push the Labor Department to enact those new orders, but it will still only get a so far. Until we can figure out a way to get buy in from the governors, especially in the south where all the Red States are, for up in the mountain whereas west. Those deaths will continue. So, the mandates are i support those mandates. I think we have to do it. But its not going to do the full job. Guess what else the federal Mandates Wont do . They wont do anything about the schools. So, we have no Vaccine Mandates in just about any of the school systems, with the exception of a Couple Areas in california. And so many kids are getting sick right now. Now were Hearing Lots of stories of kids getting sick and bringing it home to the parents, was in the past it worked the other way around. So, this thing is still on fire and will be for the foreseeable future. So, i dont know what the President S options are. My gut tells me that he needs to come down here to the south, to meet oneonone with the governors and try to make personal appeals and do what he can. But its a dire situation we are facing. Doctor, i want to talk to you exactly about the situation we are facing. Youre quoted as saying that perhaps in some states we had a plateau, but it does appear to be a very high plateau. Where are we right now . You look for instance that whats going on in texas where i am. Were hitting 250 deaths per day and thats going on on a daily basis. And although were not going up in terms of new cases, its still plateaued at a screaming high level. You look at some of the counties in east texas, or those around shelby county, tyler texas. You go west of waco, west of dallas, those counties have Infection Rates that are the highest in the world. We are the epicenter. The same with some of the counties in tennessee. So, we are the hotspots globally and thats the situation. Not a proud moment, i would say. No, its very upsetting. Doctor, i want to talk to you. You mentioned you think that the President Should make a visit and make a personal appeal. But axios is calling this essentially americas civil war of 2021. Were talking about such a high plateau, were talking about this thing is still on fire. Theres still a dire situation out there. Do you have a picture of hope right now for where we can still be headed in this, given the tensions are just so high and people are just so polarized on this . Clearly up in the northeast, you are doing much better. The Vaccination Rates are successful. Youve got essentially all of the adults, all of the adolescents vaccinated. And i dont know that will immunize you against the epidemic entirely. Youll still have some issues as you head into the Fall And Winter months, but it wont be anything like what we will have in the rest of the country. Right now, theyre such a high percentage of those who are unvaccinated, theres no stopping the delta variant. It will continue infecting people and lending people in the hospital, until it completes its job, which is to infect. Essential, y every american will either be vaccinated or infected in the coming weeks. So, trying to do what you can to prevent that and educate people about the fact that young people are going into hospitals at extraordinary numbers. And this has a lot of collateral impact. What were seeing is our icus are getting overrun across the midsection of the country. Nurses are getting exhausted. Other hospital staff, doctors are leaving their post. So, this is causing instability in other ways. Those who are defying getting vaccinating continue to get angrier. So, this is a period of great instability for our nation. No hope. All right. Theres always hope. Its a bleak picture. Well, theres hope, but i think what weve got to do is weve got to i think the president has to come down here. I think hes got to create and the series. The governor offered, others offered as well. Theres got to be better interactions. But having a standoff is just i agree with you there. Doctor Peter Hotez, thank you. Really appreciated. The sully saudi connection. A lot of people are saying theres no definitive proof of that after the very latest reporting 20 years later after 9 11.

Classified document related to the 9 11 investigation has been released. Following President Bidens Executive Order, the fbi published a redacted version of the 2016 document Last Night. And it reveals new details on the investigation into the planning of the terror attacks, and the rule of people who helped or communicated with the hijackers, including saudi nationals. Is the first of several documents expected to be release. Families of the 9 11 victims called on the president to release this information, saying they would object to see appearances at the memorials unless they were declassified. Joining us right now with the latest, Nbc News right White House reporter, lauren egan. Lauren, good morning. Bottom line, lindsey, is that this report does not contain any conclusive Information Or Evidence that the saudi government was directly involved in those 9 11 attacks. This report is 16 pages long. It is heavily redacted. And it is the first of many documents that we expect that biden administration to release. The president has been under significant pressure from families of 9 11 victims, survivors, first responders, who had told the president , if you dont release these documents and the classify them, make them public, that we dont want you to attend the 20th Anniversary Ceremony at ground zero. Of course, the president did attend yesterday, and thats because he signed an Executive Order last week, saying that he would declassify these documents. I mentioned, this is the first document we are expected to get. The president had said he would release that one on the anniversary of 9 11. We got this first document late Last Night, and we expect more to come in the weeks ahead. Lauren, can you ex help us explain the next steps of whats going to happen. And by the way, the saudi government this week said they welcome the release. So, what do we know about next steps, when we might be able to get our hands on more . Thats right. The government has said, the saudi government, basically the past 20 years, that any Allegation Or Suggestion that they were involved in the 9 11 attacks were categorically false. Now this specific report that we got Last Night revolves around a 2015 interview that the fbi did with an unnamed saudi man, who they said worked at the Countrys Consulate in Los Angeles at the time. They said that he had contact with people who gave support and helped the hijackers in their planning, and help them out once they were in the u. S. Part of the motivation for releasing these documents was to demystify some of the theories around 9 11. A lot of these 9 11 families have been pressuring biden to release these documents, had insisted that the saudi government was in some way responsible. Lindsey, kendis, the cool of releasing these was to quash him of those theories. That allegations that the saudi government has been involved have been festering for 20 years now, and its unlikely that these documents mike watch those for good. Lauren egan, thank you so much for your reporting this morning. Could it happen again . Farright groups heading to d. C. To protest the treatment of Capitol Hill rioters in the courts.

[laughs] absolutely. Theres another rightwing Rally Plan right outside the capital building. Yeah, its called justice for g6. And the organizers see that there showing support for the people who are facing charges from the January 6th insurrection. Security preparations on Capitol Hill are already ramping up. Were also learning that the Capitol Police department could discipline six officers for their conduct during the riots. The exact deals of what that conduct is are still unclear. Nbc news political correspondent Ali Vitale is live on Capitol Hill this morning. Ali, very good morning to you. Good to see you. Congressional leaders are set to get briefed on this security situation, understand tomorrow . Yes, so thats right lindsey. Speaker pelosi has said that lawmakers are going to be briefed on this next iteration of January 6th rally. You mentioned it, organizers coming who are sympathetic to the roughly 600 people who were arrested in connection with the insurrection on january six. Those cases are still making their way through the courts. They could take years. Weve already seen some guilty pleas coming down. But in terms of the way that lawmakers on Capitol Security are preparing for this rally, were going to start seeing some of those scenes fortifications that we saw around the capitol going back up. Im talking about that fencing that you see on your screen there. All of these things in preparation for next saturday. It will hear from both Law Enforcement and lawmakers face to be able to learn for what happened in the past and make sure that it does not happen again. Today and, wed already seen a security beefing done in terms of an investigation of how they can better fortify the capitol complex, as well as how best to protect lawmakers. Those lessons will certainly be applied to next saturday. Of course, theres also whats happening on the other side of this coin. Trying to figure out what happened in the lead up to january six. Thats currently working its way through the January 6th elect committee. Police, in the meantime, whats the latest from that committee as far as the documents that theyve been requested . And many of the speakers that theyve been hoping for . In recent weeks, weve seen a flurry of requests from this committee, asking both telecom and Social Media Companies for preservation request. But also going to seven federal agencies, as well as the national archives, asking them to produce documents. A whole range of things that theyre looking for from those entities. Were starting to see in the last few days, thousands of documents pouring in. A little bit vague vague on what specifically theyve gotten. At the same time we heard from the committee this week that the majority of Social Media Companies are cooperating. Thats notable, because House Minority LeaderKevin Mccarthy was very clear when those requests went out. He said that if republicans were to retake the house after 2022 in the midterms, those Social Media Companies who corporate would be punished. Nevertheless, that committee coming out this week saying that those Social Media Companies are cooperating. At the same time though, in a statement that we got from a spokesperson over there, they said they are going to need more information. And this is what really caught my attention, they said that theyre open to getting that information by quote, whatever tools are at our disposal to get the records we are seeking. The word that is not use their, that we are going to be looking for in the next few weeks, is the word subpoena. Because this committee does have the ability to do that to get the information that they say they need. Guys . That release the key word right. Their subpoena. Ali, joining us from Capitol Hill. Ali, thank you. So, that they question that a lot of people have right now, at least going into this, week will next after day looked like January 6th . The images of course, that cold winter day, will stick in the minds of americans for years to come. Theyll especially stick in the minds of members of congress. Who took shelter as those Arms Protesters broke into the u. S. Capital. One of them is the democratic congressman for the Greater Flint Michigan area, dan kildee. A earlier this year, he spoke with Nbc News exclusively about his posttraumatic stress as a result of that day, and the treatment that he was getting for it. Congressman and chief Deputy Whip joins us live right now. Congressman, thank you so much for being here with us. Its been more than six months since that attack, the January 6th attack. Almost nine months as this will be. How is your treatment going . How are you doing . Well, thanks for. Asking im doing well. Im really happy that some friends of mine made sure that i sought treatment. Other fellow members of congress help me with that. And it makes a difference. When we experienced trauma, it has an impact on us. And im happy that have been able to benefit from that treatment. It is a terrible day. Hearing some threat that this day might rivas again, obviously, for any of us who experienced this is really much more difficult to handle. And so happy that youre able to speak out about it publicly, and that youre publicly talking about it. So important when it comes to Mental Health issues. Do you know of other colleagues that are seeking treatment because of what took place on January 6th . I do. In fact, there is a group of us, those that were stuck in the gallery, we got trapped as many of you may know when the capital was evacuated. There was a handful of us that couldnt get out. So, that group, we meet regularly. And quite a number of them have sought treatment. Its one of the reasons that i did what i did, so that the staff, police officers, other members of congress, people who were affected by this, realize that it was a traumatic event. It was an experience that has a consequence for all of us. And it is important that members get treatment. Thats why im so public about the fact that i havent. And its so important for people to know that its not just physical injuries, but also the trauma that youve experience mentally, can last for so long. Lets talk about next saturday. How worried are you . Im concerned. Im concerned specifically about the Security Threat that this mob that continues to fester, presents. But honestly, im more concerned about the fact that in the months that have followed January 6th, we have members of congress, legitimate socalled voices, Minority Leader of the house, continually trying to pretend the January 6th didnt happen. And that is a precondition for a happening again, to try to mollifying the voices. That somehow because they support their politics, they can be let off scotfree. And this is a frightening thing. The thing im most concerned about, where is Kevin Mccarthy . Where are the republican leadership . Worthless voices when we see planning coming again, around another potential attack . We do have one republican voice speaking out. Former president donald trump. His comments on September 11th getting compared to what we heard from President Biden and former president george w. Bush. Listen. This is the 20th year of this war and should have been a year of Victory And Honor and strength. Instead, Joe Biden and his and left administration, surrendered in defeat. We saw a national unity bend. We learned that unity is one thing that must never break. Unity is what makes us who we are. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists and violent extremists at home. They are children of the same foul spirit. So, what do you make of that rhetoric . You see with former President Obama also releasing a statement to remind us how so many americans give of themselves an extraordinary ways in the days after 9 11. A unifying message from so many of the former President S, except one. Its really frightening and its just a reminder of how deranged that president was. I mean, is so obvious. Donald trump will present anyone who praises him. Regardless of their behavior. Regardless of what their intent is. If your for him, hes for you. And that could be that extends to criminal acts. Its pretty five new, and especially as we look back at September 11th and realize that Girl Moment may momentarily did bring the country together against a common emmy. And we have a common enemy, and we cant even organize ourselves in some of the french that Battle Trump continues to foment against an enemy we could crush. Weve had more people die in a day as a result of covid, then died on September 11th. A yet, we still have people who pretend that is not true, that is not real. When that common enemy is what we cant unite against. Congressman, dan dan kildee, frank you so much. I think you before be so open about the battle you continue to fight. Thank you. I appreciate. It such an important interview. Yeah, and its interesting to note that hes not alone in that. That there are other members of congress who are dealing with ptsd as a result of the insurrection. And seeking treatment. Okay, Richmond Statue of robert e. Lee is gone. But now there is a big mystery surrounding what officials thought that they would find inside the statue itself. Well explain.

But officials of course have been really an edge ever since the January 6th riot. And of course, the anniversary of September 11th yesterday. That triggered quite a police response. Two people are cooperating with police. Now to that mystery that lindsey soft ahead of the break.

All right, Pope Francis landed a hungry just hours ago and his first foreign trip since undergoing a Testicle Surgery this summer. The pope met with hungarys controversial farright Prime Minister while beginning his Fourday Tour of neighboring slovakia. The secretary of state, anthony blinken, is set to testify in front of the House And Senate this week on the u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan. This of course is likely to be the first of many congressional hearings into the biden administrations handling of the pull out. And this comes as Evacuation Efforts push ahead this week with the taliban allowing some planes to take off. Another 21 americans got out on friday. Join us right now from doha, qatar, Nbc News foreign correspondent ralph sanchez. Ralph, good morning. Lindsey, kendis, good morning. Progress and setbacks this week in the evacuation from afghanistan. Progress in the form of those two flights from kabul here to doha, carrying 29 u. S. Citizens and 11 Green Card holders. Those are the first flights to leave kabul since u. S. Military withdrew, and since the taliban took over. Progress also in the americans continuing to get out of afghanistan by those long, complicated and dangerous land routes. And the White House is pointing to these flights and these Land Crossings as something other vindication that they are able to continue to get americans out of afghanistan, even without any troops on the ground. That is the belief that they have taken some heat for, from both democrats and republicans back in washington. But setbacks, to. Everybody who was on those flights from kabul had an international pass for, as well as an afghan one. We have yet to see the taliban release any afghan allies, any of those siv visa holders. People who just have an afghan passport. Setback also in the flights to the united states carrying afghan evacuees have been temporarily suspended because a number of cases of measles were found among that afghan population. Not clear right now when those flights from Transit Centers like here in Doha And Ramstein airbase in germany are going to resume. Guys, that just goes to show that, just because youre out of afghanistan, doesnt mean your problems are over. I spoke earlier to a man who got off that very first flight from kabul. He was holding the hands of his sixyearold daughter. He was forced to leave his wife behind. Taken to a listen to that exchange. My daughter, she six years old. She sixes . Oh yes.

And theyre going into orbit this week. Sar. Four people with weakened private astronauts when spacexs first allcivilian mission, inspiration for launches Wednesday Night from the Kennedy Space Center. Its an expensive 3d Mission around the globe. But by a billionaire. Hes an entrepreneur entrepreneur, by the way. Along for the ride, three others. Including a professor, Air Force Veteran and, Doctors Assistant who survive cancer. And there do it all from the Spacex Rocket as tall as a 20 story building. Lets go ahead and get more details from space. Coms editor and chief tariq malik. Good morning, thank you for being with us. Talk about to us about the history. Were gonna back up a little bit. Even though our views are familiar. We saw Richard Branson in his Virgin Galactic going to space. Jeff bezos and blue origin. They went up, the prince of space. Now Elon Musk setting a new record here. The first allcivilian mission. How significant is this latest launch . What does that mean . How is this different . Lindsay and kendis, this is really weve seen flight after flight getting closer to that Airliner Type first of these missions. And this is the watershed moment. Weve seen private missions go from the international Space Station from tens of millions of dollars in the pass. Very rarely, over the last past decade. But this is a mission that has been totally and completely independently financed by an Entrepreneur Billionaire who had the public contests to fill out these three other spots. As part of a major fundraising moment. So, its a private mission and theyre not going to a Space Station. Theyre going into orbit on a kind of customized space x vehicle. It has this giant Dome Window that theyre going to be looking out. And if everything goes according to plan, Theyll Launch on a Threeday Flight for an untold cause. Jared hasnt said how much hes paid for this. That these are everyday folks, like you said. He really arsenault, Cancer Survivor. St. Jews childrens hospital. Diane pachter. Just people that have deep interest in spaceflight and are trying to do something really remarkable. Yes, so how do they train for something like this . Theyre not astronauts. No, theyre not. Whats really interested is that Jared Tyson is really taken charge of how theyre going to do their training. Now, they have met with spacex over the last several months. Learning about their space craft. Its a capsule that is used to launch astronauts to the international Space Station on its own flights. But theyve also done a lot of other exercises and team building, physical testing. Theyve climbed Mount Rain here on The West coast. I just saw earlier that theyve had one last visit to their spacecraft before their launch this week, where they were giving it a close pass to see. I know theres a lot of excitement around this. Theres also been a right lot of Controversy Overflights funded by private billionaires. A lot of people have been too thrilled with the Billionaire Space Race. This one is raising money for sea judes children research center. As you mention, one of the people is a Cancer Survivor and i do know st. Judes will have a lot of people watching. The timing of all this is a little tricky. I believe today we find out the exact window and. Then theyll be up there for three days. This is it going to be a branson ten minute trip. Talk to us about . That no, this is a full on orbital space flight. The Fundraising Aspect is very novel for this, because it does give she works with st. Judes a very visible platform to raise money. Jared has said that he really wants to raise 200 Million in funds for the Cancer Research that st. Johns does. Hes contributed 100 Million already. And it has beenready raising many since then. Theyre going to do a lot of different things on this flight. When they launch right now has been targeting 8 pm, wednesday. Night to launch from nasas Kennedy Space Center in florida. So, thats depend on whether. And how theyre vehicle is doing. But they do have most likely either here or so of Wiggle Room there. If that goes according to plan, once they get into orbit, theyre going to play a lot of instruments. The great issue off a lot of things theyre taking which will be auctioned off to raise funds. But theyre gonna have a lot of personal experiences looking out the big Dome Window. I gotta wrap you. We can go on this forever. Tariq malik, thank you so much. Well find out more on the deepest timing. Then there will be in space for a few days. While. Coming back down on the weekend. Will be interesting.

Struggling to stay afloat as the West Deal with record low water levels, and it could start impacting our food supply. And this Correspondent Cal Barry spoke with one family trying to save their cattle. In condition like these, you cant lead a horse, or come for that matter, to water. So Ranch Or Larson takes the water to them. Never in my recollection have you ever had to haul water an hour range. Rex is a Face Generation Ranch or. His livelihood, like so many other ranchers and farmers in The Western united states, is in peril. This is the worst drought in utah in the last 100 years. With 100 of the state classified as severe. The governor declared a State Of Emergency in march, as reservoirs across the region recorded new lows. The Rockport Reservoir is at 27 . This, the echo reservoir, is even worse. Operating at 15 . Is the lowest levels on record. But well feel the effect of the drought for years to come, likely, with food prices. With air, dust, water supply, water quality. Ranchers and farmers across the country bear the brunt of this changing climate. Branches are shrinking, literally scorched. Making matters worse, a pandemic brought a huge shortage, doubling the price of feed. Ranchers that have survived in some parts of the country are having to cut water usage, sometimes up to 75 . Others have simply given up. On thousands of acres of dry crops and thousands of heads of cattle. Rex had to give up on 20 of his heard. A first for this ranch. Its widespread in that many people have had to liquidate their herds entirely. And were fortunate to do just 20 . But its major. Its a major effect. Your cows have to weigh so much to produce enough milk for your calf. And your calf is what makes you money. Were selling our calves at a smaller weight. So, the total dollars are much less. Everyone has to go further for the little water that there is. The cattle to survive, the dogs to stay cool. Impacts being felt on Ranchers Today at the Dinner Tables tomorrow. The reason the drought is impactful is because these farmers are ranchers are working every day to grow the food that we have. And its threatening that some livelihood of theirs right now. So the fewer farmers that we have, the fewer people we have producing food. So not only is it short term effects, but it could be long term. For rex larsson, his greatest concern is preserving his familys ranch. Im trying to hang on. Im fifth generation. Were going to hang in as long as we can. And theres so many people in that same predicament. So many. States out there in utah. Nothing captures the American Spirit more than this next piece of Video Right here. That spur of when we work together, we can do so much. So, heres the situation. Fans watch as a small cat dangled off the dangerously high upper level of the hard Rock Stadium in miami gardens. A clung as long as it could be for dropping. Do you know what saved it . Fans getting together with all the glory, putting out an american flag that they stretched out there, and it deceived that cat. Did you see the crowd just went absolutely wild. This was all going down when the Mary Miami Hurricane to calm the appalachian seat mountaineers. Really happy they were able to band together and see that poor kitty. They did this but they miss like, what was amazing play that has never before happened on the field. [laughs] but they save the cat. Im sure that play will happen again in another century. But story.
