Good day everyone. Welcome to Alex Witt reports. We begin with President Bidens Big Week ahead. A short time ago he was seen on a Bike Ride in Rehoboth Beach before he takes on another Brewing Crisis a fallout with french President Macron which is angered by a secret deal to sell submarines to australia. He ignored some questions there. But this week he will also deliver an address to the u. S. General assembly, host a Vaccine Summit and then friday will be hosting the quad leaders summit. And then on capitol hill, the battle over reconciliation is heating up among democrats are Senator Manchin renewing debate over whether the 3. 5 trillion Price Tag is too high. Here is Bernie Sanders response. Were taking on the pharmaceutical industry, were spending millions and millions of dollars trying to make sure that they could charge us ten times more than the people of other countries for drugs. Were taking on the Health Care industry. Does not want to expand medicare. Were taking on the fossil fuel industry. We are 50 votes, well have to work it out as we did with the american rescue plan. But ive already made and my colleagues have made a major compromise going from 6 Trillion down to 3. 5 trillion. And some democratic senators will be walking and Chewing Gum at the same time trying to make the Voting Process easier. Senator klobuchar says she is actively recruiting gop support. We are going out and reaching out to republicans. I just did that this weekend. Talking to them about the bill, explaining how weve changed the bill to make it more practical for small areas, small jurisdictions, rural areas, responded to some of the challenges of our time. And i personally as you know favor abolishing the filibuster. But Senator Manchin and others have indicated some willingness to look as things like a standing filibuster. And a new lawsuit against the Workplace Vaccine Mandate may be in the works according to Governor Tate reeves. If we give unilateral authority to do anything he wants do whether a jab in the Armor Anything else, then the country is in deep trouble and is not something that im willing do. Weve made it clear that we are prepared to sue. And last week mississippi hit the milestone of having the countrys highest rate for covid deaths. Joining us now, morgan chesky, and we have breaking news in texas where the biden administration is responding to this new surge of migrants, most of whom are from haiti. Nearly 15,000 men, win and children are right now gathered in Del Rio, texas, many are crammed under a bridge as you see there. Today the u. S. Is beginning to fly these migrants back to haiti. As we go to morgan chesky, this surge grew lightning fast it seems. How did this happen . Reporter yeah, several different answers to that. But the shear numbers really tell a remarkable story here. 5,000 migrants were living under this bridge or had moved under this bridge behind me on wednesday. As you mentioned, that number has now tripled to now 15 thourk. And important to note here, as the Deportation Flights resume flying from San Antonio back to portauprince, many of these migrants who are in texas right now have been living outside of their Home Country the past several years residing in south america before choosing owe the last several months to make the dangerous Journey North to the Border. Owe the last several months to make the dangerous Journey North to the Border. This group is about half the population of the entire city of Del Rio where we are right now. So this is going to be really the first day that were seeing the full deployment of these state and federal resources that arrived here last night. We saw a swarm of State Trooper vehicles drive to the Border-and-park'>Border And Park pretty much on the banks of the Rio Grand sending a very clear message to the high grants that with are still across the river, do not come over at this point in time. They are still trying to process those here. And that is going to take weeks if not longer. We know that in addition to those Deportation Flights, they will also be used what they call lateral flights, that will be planes used to fly them from Del Rio to other centers and hopefully process them smoothly in other states or at other Border Crossings Herin texas. And were approaching 100 degrees here. And the heat exposure, the Food And Water still very much a concern despite pallets being dropped off by local authorities. We know he that that is a constant need here in Del Rio. So it will be very interesting to see where we are 24 hours from now to see how efficiently this massive surge of state and federal resources can process my grants that are still here. And are you seeing at all Numbers Reduction . Is it looking better, are the crowds thinning out at all . Is it getting worse . And those flights, do those begin today the ones where they will take these migrants back to haiti . Were not seeing much of anything. And that is because they have created such a wide perimeter around this impromptu city that has formed beneath this bridge behind me. Weve been about a Quarter Mile away and we were escorted briefly down within a couple hundred yards and you could see of course just the crowds still waiting there. But this kind of puts it in perspective for you. The other day we were told that overnight they processed about 2,000 migrants. And even with those being processed, numbers went up by about 1500. So that didnt make a dent in it at all. Numbers continue to rise and i think that is one of the reasons that we saw such a visible force of the State Troopers packing feet away from the banks of the Rio Grande facing mexico, that stream that was seemingly constant with those videos that we have been seeing has at least to have stopped for now. But that doesnt mean that there are not hundreds if not thousands still waiting in mexico for a chance to cross. And you know im thinking just as i look at the pictures that were being provided not everybody is wearing a mask to say the least. Im sure covid concerns are part of the reason why they are keeping distance as well. A lot going into all this. Morgan, thank you so much. Lets go now from texas to Mike Memoli in Rehoboth Beach, delaware traveling with the president. Busy week ahead. What is on his agenda . Reporter well, Foreign Policy, that is joe bidens wheelhouse, right . That is what we had seen over the course of his career. A Foreign Policy heavy week for the president and as you look at the schedule for the week ahead, you get a sense of how some of his biggest Agenda Items are both foreign and domestic 308 policy. Tuesday he will be in New York for the u. N. General assembly. 3 policy. Tuesday he will be in New York for the u. N. General assembly. 0 policy. Tuesday he will be in New York for the u. N. General assembly. 8 policy. Tuesday he will be in New York for the u. N. General assembly. Policy. Tuesday he will be in New York for the u. N. General assembly. He will talk about Climate Change. And also he needs to pass the Sfruk Agenda in the congress. And he know thats is in the crux of a tough battle within his party about moving that forward. Well also see on wednesday the president Convening A Virtual Summit with vaccines wanting to get more to developing nations. Of course this is just as the president s own goal for Booster Shots being rolled out this week for the general population hit a bit of a Speed Bump at the fda. And then on friday were seeing that first ever inperson meeting of the quad, the four leaders, the u. S. , india, japan and as well as australia, that is the biggest democracies in the indopacific region all focused on countering the influence of china. But of Course Weve been talking about that flap with france as the new deal with australia, the uk and the u. S. Over selling nuclear submarines to the aussies has provoked a strong backlash from france. And we expect that adding to the schedule this week, there will be a Phone Call from President Biden and President Macron, that Alliance We Saw on display in person when President Biden went to europe, a warm meeting between those two in person but now clearly some work to do so President Bidens part to repair that relationship. Yeah, a bit of strain toned on that Phone Call probably. Thank you for that. Lets go now to the reaction in the last hour from the House Budget Committee chair on the future of the Infrastructure Bill. And Ali Vitali is on which i will capitol hill. What approach do you think democrats will take to make sure that it passes . Capitol hill. What approach do you think democrats will take to make sure that it passes . Reporter well see the Program Story Line of Progressive Mo Democrats versus mods democrats. And this could have a tangible impact. Weve seen both sides go back and forth about the best way forward on both the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that has already passed the senate and also that larger Reconciliation Bill at 3. 5 trillion. There have been competing ideas on the best way for democrats to move forward with both of these priorities. If you listen to congressman yarmouth, he has an optimistic view. The house coming back tomorrow and well see the vote potentially happen. Listen to how he thinks that it will shake out. You can posture all you want, but in the final analysis, you will vote for this. And you will vote for it because you are not going to vote against Child Care and paid Family Leave and early Childhood Education and Community College and all of these top priorities which by the way the country desperately needs. I think that democrats will fall in Line And Vote for these items. Reporter now, the scenario that he is describing is that eventually come the 27th, democrats vote on this bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and all of the posturing that has come from progressives who say they are not ready to move on the bipartisan bill until the Reconciliation Bill is settled. What yarmouth is saying is that it could go the easy way which is to say that every democrat gets on board and decides to join potentially with republicans and pass the bipartisan piece of this legislation. The other thing yarmouth said on another network, to keep the leverage maybe the bill doesnt immediately go to President Bidens desk. All of that is up in the air here as well as i mentioned the Price Tag. Weve seen posturing from people like Senator Joe Manchin who have been clear that they dont think that 3. 5 trillion is the number that it will be. They are not comfortable with it being that high. Bernie sanders said that he has already negotiated down from his Dream Number of 6 Trillion. So jockeying on that as well. All right. Thanks for that. And im joined by jeff mason. Good to see you. So a lot of moving parts here, but basically these two Infrastructure Bills might also get bogged down because progressives may not vote for the bipartisan 1 Trillion bill because they wont get the full 3. 5 trillion in the second bill. So what is the political calculation on all this, will there be a win when it is all said and done . Well, that is a great question. Certainly President Biden could use a win right now, it was a rough week especially The End to last week with the France Kerfuffle and of course the tragic news of the Drone Strike in afghanistan was a mistake. And the refugees as well. So a lot going on for this White House that is tricky and they could use the win. That is a long way of saying there is still a big Question Mark over whether that will happen and that is ironically because of the president s own party. And that said, this is not a new dynamic, the progressives versus moderates within the democratic party, progressives have been saying for some time that they wont support it unless they get the Reconciliation Bill as well. The White House is confident that they will get a win from both. And President Biden told us last week when i was traveling with him on September 11th that he was confident that republicans, not republicans who are speaking vocally, but those speaking privately will support i guess both bills as well. Im a little more skeptical of that, but there is optimism at the White House despite the Inner Party squabble. And New York times writes that bidens entire agenda is writing on this Reconciliation Bill. Reporter certainly his priorities are encapsulated in that bill. And you know, the president is planning on attending the Glasco Conference in a Month And Part of cutting emissions is based on some of the aspects of the climate aspects of that bill. So, yeah, his agenda is certainly encapsulated in both of those bills. And it would be a huge boost for him to be able to say, look being, ive got this done. Not to mention certainly the White House believes that it will help the economy and having some help for the economy right now is critical for him going into what seems like a long way away, but isnt really. The 2022 midterm election. And on that point, you write this week that the biden administration is probing why Gasoline Prices arent falling. Does this suggest at all a concern with respect to inflation or is this just something that i guess repeats itself, a cycle of Gas Prices all the time . Reporter well, the president expressed, and they have expressed it before, the i think what he was saying is that why are Gasoline Prices not going down at the same right that they are going up when there are these various pressures on the world economy, and the president has himself put pressure on opec and its allies to increase production. You know, when you are the president of the united states, it is in your interests in addition to being in the american peoples interests for Gasoline Prices not to be too high. So he is using every lever that he can to ensure there is not Market Manipulation going on. What do you expect from the president s u. N. Speech tuesday . I think that Climate Change will be a big chunk of it, i think covid will be a big chunk of it, two of his international and domestic priorities. I think that you will hear something about iran and possibly china. Some of the hot international aspects of his administration and his agenda. But i suspect that covid is going to be a big piece of what he will talk about and that will lead into that Covid Summit that he is holding the following day. Okay. Jeff mason, thank you so much.

He was last seen tuesday. And emily, there is a lot of challenges, a lot of area to search here. Reporter yeah, police want to emphasize that these are two missing person investigations at this time, Brian Laundrie is not wanted for a crime but still the search is across the country. In wyoming, they are looking for gabby around Grand Teton National Park. They believe that Brian Laundrie may be across an Alley Gator infested nature preserve. Police descending on the park.

I had a dream that someday i would just fly, fly away new numbers in the coronavirus pandemic, there are 42 Million cases in the u. S. And a 677,000 deaths, roughly one in 500 americans dying from the virus. And new reaction to the fda advisory Board Decision to limit Booster Shots to only those 65 and older and people at high risk. Dr. Anthony fauci tells Chuck Todd they are following the data. Ultimately the real proper regimen will turn out to be the original two shots plus a boost. But you want to do that according to what the data tells you, including the Risk Benefit Ratio particularly for the younger people who do not generally get as much severe disease as the elderly and others. And lets bring in dr. Blackstock. Good to have you. So what is your take on the fda decision, do you agree with dr. Fauci that it is inevitable we will all Need Boosters at some point . Absolutely. Thank you for having me. I think that the fda advisory Committees Recommendation was based on good evidence and the evidence has season that people over 65 were more likely also to have Breakthrough Infections and disease after two doses. And i think also to also include Health Care workers and others at high risk for severe disease. It is important as well. And the Cdc Advisory Committee will be teasing out those details a little bit more. But all in all the committee followed the evidence that we have currently and that is really the best that they could do. Are you hopeful that as we publicize this, we put all the details out there and the fact that there is not just some blind stamp on everything, do you think that this will help the antivaxxers or those people who have concerns about to say okay now im feeling more comfortable with taking the vaccine . You know what, hopefully it does. I think many of those people unfortunately have fixed beliefs. I think some people who still do have vaccine concerns, i think that seeing the process play out may be helpful for them. I still think that it is to follow the process and follow the proper protocol before making these incredibly important decisions. Messaging is incredibly important and we dont want to undermine Public Trust even further. I want to turn to the on that especially written by you and your sister. Sorry if i implied that it was just your sister. Your sister is a physician as well. And also proud parents. But this is about nici minajs tweets about the vaccine and it says as much as black Health Care providers have been elevated during the pandemic, many Black Americans still understandably see us as part of the system, a racist one that has long marginalized and disenfranchised our community and continues to do so. So what was your first reaction to Nicki Minaj and could this be seen as an opportunity to work with black celebrities and reach the Black Community . That would absolutely be the goal. When i saw the tweets it sounded like she was thinking out loud but she has a very large platform and she has to be careful about the information that she is putting out there, just 22 Million followers. So those are 22 Million people that she can influence their perspectives. So we said that we are more than happy to sit down with black celebrities, Music Artists and other artists, make sure that they have accurate and responsible messaging to give out to their followers. And we should add, we heard this morning unfortunately Chris Rock the great comedian, he has come down with covid and he said nobody wants to get this, get vaccinated. His tweet was short and sweet. Thats right. And it was very i was very happy that he put get vaccinated because he was vaccinated with the johnson johnson. And we know people with vaccinated, they are less likely to be hospitalized or die. So still incredibly important to be vaccinated. Yeah. And so the pandemic is highlighting disparities within the Health Care system, certainly right now the percent of white people who got at least one shot is about 1. 2 times higher than the rate for black people. Although black people are more than three times more likely to be hospitalized, two times more likely to die from the virus. What do you think is the leading cause of Black Americans refusing to get the shot, is it stemming from the weve chronicled the issues. Rightfully so. Or overall distrust of the government . What do you think is behind it . I think the perspective is different from that of white americans. I think definitely there is the history, but there is also current Day Discrimination that they face. We have a lot of data on how pain is undertreated in black people. We know that very high black Mortality Rate in this country is related to the experiences that black people face both inside and outside of the Health Care establishment. So we really have an uphill battle to get Black Americans vaccinated. But one of my passions is to make sure that we are doing Vaccine Outreach and education that we are having black Health Care professionals accessible to them and that we are making vaccines accessible. I think that the requirements will also be key in getting people vaccinated and helping to close those gaps. Flu season coming up. Can people how quickly can people get a vaccine if they still have yet to get one or Booster Season overlaps with getting your flew Flu Vaccine . You can get both. Yeah, you can get both the Flu Vaccine and Covid Booster at the same time. You may be a little midderable because you can get Side Effects for both of them so sometimes the recommendation is that you wait about two weeks. But the goal is to get the Flu Vaccine by The End of october and no later than that. Okay. Duly noted. Ill go and get one on your advice. Doctor, thank you so much. Thank you.

A dismal showing of support for those charged in in the January 6th riots. Crowds were much smaller than anticipated with actually journalists and police overs easily outnumbering the socalled protestors. Joining me not clint watts. Good to see you. So some of your work involves keeping eyes and ears on these far right chat rooms. What do you think spooked people, why did they stay away in droves . Two things in. You saw the political leaders start to back away from it and we cant underestimate the power of influential political people saying, hey, this is a rally you should attend or im going to attend, i will speak at it, that has a major impact. The second was the massive public awareness campaign, this is everything that should have happened on January 6 that didnt. It happened on september 18th. Right . This is intelligence, this is preparation, this is barricades. This was a place where only the most extreme individuals would try to show up. And i think it was mostly people who wanted to make a show of themselves. There werent a lot of organized movements. And just looking at January 6, it opened up a lot of investigations. So if anybody tied to this was under investigation, it would add to their own burden. And so do you have a sense of the origin of the false Flag Theory . Donald trump was repeating it. You could have seen it two weeks ago. Right about the time when News Headlines started to talk about it, you started to see the false Flag Theory. In most of these groups, it is not an unusual statement to hear. This is a Conspiracyprone Group of people. So the idea of everything being or something being a false flag is common. But what i think is remarkable is how Donald Trump is his campaign, his supporters, he is very in tune to whatever conspiracy is being floated and he adds validation to it and you see increase in the Tempo Or Belief of whatever he says about. So if he says go, they go, if he says dont go, they dont. I asked congressman ted Lu Yesterday and here is what he had to say. A recent poll came out showing that approximately half of republican voters would prefer a different nominee for 2024, Someone Other than Donald Trump. And he has only been out of office for about ten months. So you already see his influence wane. You will see that continue in the next three years. Do you agree, do you think that his influence will wane and keep dropping . I think that it will wane. I dont know that there is anybody that can surpass him. You have to have an alternative. The other part is notoriously is americans american pollsters are terrible of Polling Trump supporters. More show up than those who say on a Phone Call or some pollster group. Where Donald Trump gets in trouble is that he makes statements that turned out not to be true or turned out to be lies. For example the vaccines. When you said that he should get your vaccine, he was booed. And that is unheard of. And many supporters that showed up on january of thought that they would be pardoned or bailed out or Donald Trump would go back into office. None of that happened. So you can hold on to it for a while, but another 40 years is break tough. And is there a way for Law Enforcement to judge in the future how to have a more proportionate response . I mean, did it seem disproportionate yesterday or would that have been deliberate showing that kind of force . I think it is deliberate. Obviously it was overkill yesterday for the fact that we got off guard on January 6. We do want to show to the public, if you think about nypd, they oftentimes deploy what they call herculean teams to try to send the message out to the public, it serves more than just the fence. But we have to get better intelligence on what is going on and that is where its that failed to date. They dont so i who was a terrorist or was a terrorist organization and what can be watched out on social media. I can do more in my house than most people that work in Law Enforcement can do on their job. So we have to get them to a position where they can be appropriate with their intelligence. They dont have to always overestimate or overcompensate because they have a better understanding of what is going on. Okay. I have a better understanding thanks to you.

New Tellall Book is shedding light on the final days of the Trump Administration including the role Mike Pence played in Trumps Attempt to overturn the election. Excerpts from the Book Peril reveal pence went to another former vp for advice on the matter pressing Dan Quayle multiple times but quayle shut pence down saying mike, you have no flexibility, none, zero, forget it, put it away. Joining me now, Olivia Choi and former top aide to Mike Pence. Good to see you. So Mike Pence was your former boss. He was seen as a hero of sorts after what happened on January 6. Does this Reporting Surprise you . It does and it doesnt honestly. I think Mike Pence when he is under a lot of pressure he tends to sort of make Phone Calls, Reach Out and sometimes he gets the same answer over and over but he still keeps looking for a different answer especially when under pressure of Donald Trump. And so i can see a situation where he was reaching out to Dan Quayle saying do i have any other options, what else can i tell this crazy person pressuring me to do this. And thankfully Dan Quayle, said no, just do your job, this is the situation that you are in. But an unbelievable situation to think about when you think about the fact that Mike Pence is likely running in 2024 and he was part of this entire situation. Can i just take issue with what you said, i want you to take what you said about this crazy person who is in office implying Donald Trump. I know that is how you feel. Youve made this clear many times before. Is that something that you would ascribe to Mike Pence . I know you cant get inside of his head, but you do know how you he approached things. How did he feel about Donald Trump . I certainly saw Mike Pence be very frustrated at times. And he knows exactly who Donald Trump is. And that is what makes Mike Pence on difficult to understand in many ways on why you would continue to stand by this person still today. Because he still repeats a lot of the Talking Points that trump use, election integrity, he is still part of the Big Lie that almost led to his Family And Li Law Enforcement and other people who were killed that day on January 6. So i think thats complicated scenario when it comes to Mike Pence. At The End of the day i dont separate him too much from trump especially these days, because when youre part of the Big Lie and youre part of the behavior thats leading to an a lot of the dangers across america that continue to unfold, Violence And Division and hate, youre equally as responsible for it. Okay. The book also claims that former attorney general Bill Barr talked to the former president in april 2020, 2020, and he was trying to give him campaign advice, barr reportedly telling Donald Trump he had Repair Work to do with republicans in independents in the suburbs who liked his politics but not his personality, saying they just think youre, you know, a few choice words i cant say on television. And after trump lost and barr said there was no widespread election fraud, trump reportedly told him, he must have said that because you hate trump, you must really hate trump. Whats your take on that . I think there are a lot of people who were part of this administration at a very, very senior level, the cabinet and across the board, who knew exactly who Donald Trump is and the way he would behave. When you step out of line, in trumps eyes, he lashes out at you. All of these accounts that are coming out now, granted i havent read the book, i dont have all of the context, just shows sort of the danger we were in while Donald Trump was in office. And the fact is there are still a lot of people out there who are still willing, willing to vote for this man. So im concerned about what this means going into 2024, whether its Donald Trump or someone who is very much like him when it comes to the upcoming elections. Speaking of the word danger, theres an another excerpt from the book that details twice in the final months, general milley was so afraid that Donald Trump would spark a war with china that he made secret calls to his chinese counterpart to ease tension. From a homeland security perspective, olivia, what do you make of that . How extraordinary were the concerns if this was the length that general milley was willing to go . I think general milley did the right thing. I think what he was trying to do through diplomatic channels was to sort of assuage any concerns and prevent an escalation or a natural disaster, natural Security Disaster from happening by the chinese misunderstanding whatever trumps rhetoric was at the time and preventing this conflict from escalating. Because the president would say outlandish things and i can see, if youre seeing Intelligence Reporting that says the country is concerned about it or whatever it was that causes alarm, would be cause for significant concern. And look, we faced the situation several times during the four years that trump was president , whether it was potentially to that point, i want to put up the tweet that you put out there. Im going to read it for everybody. I know how close we came to war with North Korea and later iran. Near The End of Trumps Term as he became more and more unhinged, many of us raised concerns about the potential. Elaborate on this, how close did we come to war . We came very close several times. Whether it was in the spring of 2017, whether it was in the summer of 2019, or you saw the reporting that happened in late december in 2020, with iran, whether it was North Korea or iran, we had a president in office who for lack of a better term was trigger happy. In many of these situations, i know the individuals who talked him down. One of those individuals was general kellogg when it came to iran one summer. I know the conversations that he had. And im grateful that he did that. Look, im giving kudos to the man who went on national television and said he fired me, which is a lie. But im grateful for the fact that kellogg in that moment stood strong and dissuaded the president from going to war with iran because it would have been a dangerous situation. Our conversations are always too short. One of these days youre going to come to New York or im going to come to you and im going to just let you spill over dinner. It would be my honor to do so. So there we go. Olivia troye, thank you so much. The authors of the Book Peril will make their first Cable News appearances here on msnbc.

New information on the push to get more teenagers vaccinated against covid. Its happening right now in Northern California where the percentages are much higher than the national average. Lets go to nbcs scott cohen, outside an Elementary School in San Francisco. Scott, a good sunday to you, my friend. Lay out whats happening there. Are they doing Vaccination Clinics . Whats going on . Reporter yeah, this is the site of one of several Vaccination Clinics that theyre doing in the city of San Francisco over the next few days, for this key push, this key group, as you said, adolescents, 12 to 17 years old. They want to get those numbers up with schools open again. Take a look at how the numbers are. Nationwide, only 45 of this Age Group is fully vaccinated, according to cdc data. Heres the picture, though, in california. Im sorry, 53 fully vaccinated. But in San Francisco, that number is 90 . They have really made a Big Push here. And still, about 13 of the cases in San Francisco are in that Age Group. So officials are really trying to go after that elusive 10 . Weve been working with the School District and well have four locations where kids can continue to get vaccinated. 90 is not 100 . And we know that every vaccine counts. Additionally, as we kind of think forward about, you know, when 5 to 11yearolds get eligible for vaccine, all these sites will help inform our strategies at that point in time too. Reporter here in california, there clearly has not been some of the debates, sometimes very raucous debate that youve seen in School Districts elsewhere in the country, which might explain why the numbers are so high. San francisco has kind of been that way throughout all categories of the pandemic. Its one of the reasons that State Officials here say that california is now looking at the lowest Covid Transmission Rate in the nation. Alex . Thats a good thing. Thank you so much, nbcs scott cohn. A very good day to all of you from Msnbc World headquarters here in New York. Welcome to
