cases and 10,000 deaths in the last week alone. with time running out to break the stalemate on his reconciliation bill, president biden is meeting with speaker pelosi and majority leader schumer on compromise options. then a lot of arm twisting in separate sessions with progressive and moderate members of congress. at stake, the entire biden domestic agenda. let's begin with the latest on the coronavirus pandemic and chief white house correspondent weekend "today" co-host, peter alexander, gabe gutierrez, dr. john torres, and dr. celine gounder. a lot of foreign and domestic issues the white house is struggling with but not stopping the administration from trying to keep covid front and center. that's the issue that really helped the president win the presidency and key to his dip in poll ratings. >> reporter: andrea, that's right. i was with the president alongside his u.s. ambassador speaking to world leaders, speaking to pharmaceutical executives and civil society organizations around the globe, calling this and the president's words an all hands on deck crisis, saying that america should be and will be an arsenal of vaccines, noted the headline, take away that the u.s. will supply, purchase, supply donating another 500 million vaccination doses to low and middle income nations around the world. those are nations in particular that are suffering the worst at this point. roughly 10% of the population of poorer nations have been fully vaccinated. the number is closer to 4% in africa now. the president is saying all countries, the world ultimately needs to come together in this effort and it is not just in terms of vaccinations but in terms of critical need for oxygen now to help provide that resource for those people that do survive the virus, that this would help them get through it in countries where it should be survivable. those are major take aways. the president saying he would like the world to reach 70% vaccination by this time next year when the united nations comes together again then, saying he will reconvene another summit in the first quarter, first few months of 2022. >> gabe, you traveled across the country watching the delta variant slam hospitals and one icu in montana struggling through another tragic loss. that's the cost of covid here in the united states. >> reporter: andrea, it was heartbreaking to see. this is a hospital we visited a few weeks ago. you might remember, billings clinic in montana. this is one of those hospitals that's struggling with yet another surge, discussing what's called crisis standards of care, essentially how to ration health care when it comes to that. montana isn't there, idaho already activated crisis standards of care for that state. we met a young man, 24 years old, patrick. you see him there. spoke with him through a window in the covid icu there. when we go into hospitals, andrea, we ask them to put us in touch with patients that would be willing to speak, he was eager to speak with us to say he regretted not getting the vaccine. he wanted people to understand how serious the virus is. 24 years old. shy of his 25th birthday. andrea, just a few days ago, we sadly heard this weekend he passed away, and we spoke with his nurse, one of the nurses that was treating him. take a listen. >> the day you interviewed him, we hoped he would downgrade from icu level care to the med surge floor. his oxygen levels never stayed at a level we could make that move. we were no longer able to help sustain patrick. and the family made the decision to make him be comfort care. he died saturday evening. very tragically he was a parent who left a young child behind. he was the man on the cusp of his life, not even 25 years old. so energetic and with so many ideas about what he wanted to do in life and so it was a life ended way too short. >> you hear the emotion in her voice. patrick was just 24 years old. he wanted people to know how serious this virus was, and andrea, he is the youngest covid patient to die inside that hospital in montana. andrea? >> gabe, i remember that interview and patrick was so touching. his regret. it is so unnecessary. these deaths are so unnecessary. 26 years old. leaving a child behind. and the emotion as you point out, his nurse, clearly touched the staff at the hospital. >> certainly. he had spoken about misinformation he heard, not just from friends and family but from his community and he wanted to talk to us. he went out of his way to speak with us. paused in the interview a few times, it was tough to breathe. i asked him if he wanted to stop. he said no. he wanted to get word out about the misinformation out there. he said as soon as he was healthy again, he wanted to get the vaccine and sadly he never got the chance. >> thank you, gabe, for bringing that story to us because perhaps one person will be persuaded. dr. torres, what can we do in the media, what can you do as medical professionals to persuade people of the fatal mistake they're making. >> andrea, i think it is an uphill battle since it started, getting that segment of the population, 10 to 15% that are adamant about not getting the vaccine, trying to get them the information they need and examples like this, extremely unfortunate that he passed away. hopefully others look at this and say he gave a message to get our vaccine. that's something we should do. this is a serious illness, potentially deadly illness. you never know who it is going to effect, how it is going to effect them. keep on doing the things you're doing, getting to the community, getting community leaders to understand why it is important to get the vaccine, spreading word to people in the community, especially in communities of color, disadvantaged communities, extremely important to get that segment of the population vaccinated to get higher and higher rates and hopefully get this pandemic over with sooner rather than later. this is the battle we have been waging a year and a half. it will go on for some time. hopefully more people get the vaccine. >> and dr. gounder, let's talk about the cdc meeting today and whether that is preliminary. we expect it will be, from everything dr. fauci said earlier this week, we think by end of the week we're going to have approval of a booster shot for people who are over 65 and who have immuno compromised or other underlying conditions, right? >> andrea, i think that's right. we have very good data that people over the age of 65 would benefit from additional dose of vaccine. this is an age group where their immune systems are simply not as young and spry as they were in their 20s and don't respond as well to the vaccine up front. if you have any waning from lower level of immunity to begin with, you start to see severe disease, hospitalization, death in that elderly over 65 population. the piece remains to be seen is how you define people at high risk. is that high risk for complications, ending up in the hospital and dying from covid, is that high risk with respect to maybe the impact on the workplace, so if teachers get sick, have to call out sick, schools may have to shutdown. if doctors and nurses have to call out sick, even if they're not sick and laying in bed at home, that may mean you can take fewer patients in the hospital. there are other reasons to consider people to be high risk and it will be interesting to see how the cdc weighs in on this issue. >> dr. torres, talk about the booster shots. do you think people should wait, people that took moderna or j&j should wait for those drug companies to come up with data and get approvals? we're hearing that people are just going to drug stores and getting shots. >> andrea, they should wait for a couple reasons. one, we don't get to understand what the mixing and matching could do. we think it will be okay but at this point they're doing studies to find out, to make sure it is safe and effective, which are two things we want. on top of that, pfizer got the first emergency use authorization, then moderna, then johnson & johnson, so it is following the same pattern here, and we expect moderna to be able to get that fairly soon here, and johnson & johnson after that once they submit data. it is a matter of time. meanwhile, we know the measures to protect us, fully vaccinated, mask, social distance. wait until you find out. make sure you do the right thing instead of something that makes it worse or may not work at all. >> peter alexander, what is the feeling at the white house about the president's speech yesterday? >> reporter: i think the white house feels this is the message the president has been delivering from the start but obviously came at an inopportune time for the white house, they recognized that given recent challenges, the rift with france over the submarine deal dispute, sale, the u.s. and uk selling them to australia to counter china in that region. we can tell you there are expectations that president biden may speak to president macron over the course of this day. beyond that, you have afghanistan, the president saying that we're going to end that year of relentless war and move on to relentless diplomacy, but there needs to be diplomatic work between that alliance, the alliance the president is leading now. they feel strongly the president delivered a clean message that the u.s. is turning the page on america first policies of trump years and that america is back, andrea. >> will be undermined with allied distress with america, but that was clearly a strong message. look, it was a debut speech. well crafted speech as far as the domestic audience is concerned as well, which is important fact. dr. gounder, what about the children and the 5 to 11-year-olds, how quickly could there be emergency use approval for children, primarily elementary and middle school kids? >> pfizer is going to be applying for authorization of its vaccine for that 5 to 11-year-old age group, assuming everything goes smoothly, we anticipate children in that age group will be eligible to get vaccinated by halloween. parents are excited to hear that news and hope this will allow them to have a return to a more normal life as a family. >> let's hope for more good news on the medical front. dr. gounder, dr. torres, thanks so much. and thanks to gabe with that disturbing and touching story from montana. coming up, deal or no deal. senate republicans threatening to tank the debt limit and democrats are divided over the president's $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. is time running out?

debate, the house finally passed a resolution tying together two critical measures, suspending the debt limit, allowing the federal government to continue to pay the bills it already racked up and funding the government through december to avert a shutdown. but the measure is already doomed. senate republicans say they will not support democrats suspending the debt limit, even if it means letting the government go into default. that's setting up a standoff with only eight days until federal agencies run out of money, a month until the government defaults on debts. joining me, nbc's senior congressional correspondent, nice new title, garrett, for your great work. garrett haake. congratulations. how is mitch mcconnell justifying saying that republicans, that he believes they have to do the debt limit, that it has to be done. important for the country. can't let the country go into default. but republicans won't vote for it at all, and the democrats will have to carry it themselves, even though democrats unanimously voted for three donald trump debt limit raises helping republicans when they were in charge. >> reporter: there's no consistency in the position by mcconnell. this is purely an opportunity by republicans to cause democrats political pain. and when you're in the minority across all of government, you don't have much of an agenda of your own, mainly what you can do is make life miserable for the other side when you so choose. that's basically what republicans are doing. the argument boils down to they say democrats have shown little interest working with republicans as they spent trillions, whether it was on the first covid relief package earlier this year passed by democrat only votes or the new 3.5 reconciliation bill, expected to be passed by only democratic votes. republicans say you don't want to work with us on how we spend money, why should we work with you to raise the debt ceiling. the counter is a, because that's always the way it has been done, and b, a lot of debt was accumulated in the trump years. republicans aren't trying to win a moral argument about what's the quote, unquote right thing to do, they're basically saying you guys have taken on all this spending and we're going to make you deal with it yourselves through reconciliation and by the way, andrea, there's even more political pain they can exact by forcing democrats to do it through reconciliation, not to be super technical, but basically in reconciliation democrats can't just suspend the debt limit, saying we are going to ignore it some number of years like in the past. they have to actually raise it. because of previous suspensions, it would be the biggest raise ever, at least $10 trillion would be needed to added to keep the lights on, and some republicans see that as the kind of thing they could hang around democratic necks and run in campaign ads over and over again next year. >> even though they were in charge when those bills were rolled out. >> reporter: consistency is not key to the argument, here, it is merely politics. >> well, you're going to earn your new title next couple of weeks alone. yep. congratulations, garrett. well done. joining us now, former maryland democratic congresswoman donna edwards and congressman david jolly. why can't the democrats get it together? you've got the progressives and moderates fighting. doesn't seem to be any give. positions are hardening. where's the give? are they going to tank the president's whole agenda because they can't agree amongst themselves? >> well, andrea, this is why i think it is really important for president biden to be directly engaged with house democrats now because the reality is they all sink or swim together. i think that from progressives' point of view, they said we're going to go along with this infrastructure bill, but you also agree you go along with $3.5 trillion social spending bill that really strengthens the public investment in infrastructure. and after all, this is the president's agenda. it is not like this agenda was pulled out of a hat, this is an agenda that the president ran on and that he supports from the hardening of our public infrastructure, to also making sure that we deal with climate, that we invest in child care, that we invest in health care. this is president biden's agenda, and democrats, progressives and moderates are going to swim or sink together. >> david jolly, what about mitch mcconnell's position, it is hard to justify taking a completely different posture now than when he was in charge. >> i think garrett framed it correctly. mitch mcconnell is also saying chuck schumer you asked for keys to the car, your turn to drive, and sometimes it is a pretty treacherous road. at the end of the day, the united states government will not default on the debt and it is just a question of what currency, what price does mitch mcconnell and republicans extract from democrats in the process because ultimately they will, and i think there will be one final stage to the default brinksmanship, republicans will let it go until the treasury secretary announces the treasury department had to take extraordinary measures, treasury has that authority to take extraordinary measures. at that point, we are entering the final chapter where mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer ultimately must negotiate. as garrett said, if this goes through the reconciliation process where it is just democrats, there's a big question whether or not they can get that done. all of a sudden you have the manchin and sinema in there because the dynamics are different. we will not default on our debt. mitch mcconnell will get some type of price for ultimately cooperating with schumer in the process. >> and donna, what the democrats want, especially those in tough districts, they want this to be preconference, they want an agreement with the senate going in so they're not taking hard votes now. voting for these very expensive programs that they don't really love and finding that the senate isn't going to buy them. >> well, i mean, i think that's right. but at the same time these are all things that were agreed upon principles over the last several months. democrats really have to bring it home and the way to do that is to make sure both the reconciliation and infrastructure package stay on the same track, that the united states not default on its bills after all those were bills that were huge bills racked up during the trump administration that democrats always voted for. let's be clear, democrats always supported making sure we pay our bills and keep the government open. it is republicans that are holding the american public hostage here and i think to the extent that democrats can try to get this over the finish line, again, this is about the president's agenda and about them rising or falling together. and they've got to get it done because they all need something to run on in 2022. >> and speaking of 2022, david jolly, making first campaign appearance for midterms will be for liz cheney. donald trump targeted for her impeachment vote and joining in the january 6th investigation. this is going to shape up as two former republican presidents in a proxy war for the heart and soul of one district in wisconsin, although there's only one district in wyoming, so she's like a senator, but she's a national figure now. it is a proxy fight for the soul of the republican party. >> it is. this is an interesting time stamp in the did he have lugs of the party. interestingly, george bush is hosting that event for liz cheney on his home turf in dallas, texas according to "the wall street journal," so he is not headed to wyoming. you could expect donald trump to head to wyoming to mix it up. liz cheney getting support of george bush, john boehner, karl rove, it is the last stand of the old guard. this is no longer their republican party. this is donald trump's republican party. what liz cheney is saying i know wyoming as well as anybody, i am willing to take on trumpism within the party because i think what i did was right. we'll see if she's victorious in that race. even if she returns to congress, she's in the vast minority of today's republican party and the republican caucus in congress, and what that means for the future of the party, probably not directed by liz cheney, even if she retains her seat. >> little remembered fact, liz cheney, actually the cheney family has some roots in texas where her father in between being defense secretary and vice president ran halliburton, big defense contractor headquartered in texas. and remember, he had to change his voting registration from texas to wyoming to file for vice president because of the texas rule in the electoral college. you know the story. anyway. >> that's right. >> he is kind of a texas guy as well as wyoming guy. >> a lot of old friends in texas meeting liz cheney. >> exactly. thank you both. great talking to you. coming up, unanswered questions about the confirmation that a body found in wyoming is gabby petito. now they have to find

>> reporter: yes, andrea. let's be clear about what this is at this point. it is a manhunt under way here. we are 20 minutes away from where brian laundrie was living when he returned from wyoming without his fiance, gabby petito. it was september 1st that he returned to the family house in northport, florida. but 8 days ago, last tuesday, his family says, his parents say he came here to carlton reserve, a 25,000 acre essentially park, a swampy area with bike and hiking trails. they say eight days ago here came here to go on a hike. four days later they called authorities and said he never returned home and that he was missing. if that family story holds up and if, in fact, he did go out here for a hike, potentially he is on the run or dead. that's why the focus of the search is here now. just in the last 30 minutes, a development here, sarasota sheriff's office sent an underwater recovery force. there was a boat brought in here, got off the phone five minutes ago with a sheriff's official that says they were brought in at the request of the local police department. officials said they couldn't provide whether they were searching a particular area or provided evidence or reasoning to come in. but they were here in assist capacity. they have been searching the area for days here. they were here again yesterday. sunrise, were back at it this morning. this is the first time we have seen this recovery force. at the same time, authorities haven't provided or suggested there's any evidence that he is in fact here, that's all per word of the family that said he came here for a hike, but that was eight days ago, and took them four days to report to authorities that he never returned home. so many questions as he apparently appears to be either on the run or potentially have taken his own life. what we know is gabby petito is confirmed dead by the attorney's office, the coroner saying it is a homicide. we are waiting for full autopsy, andrea, to be released. >> such a sad story, thank you very much. meanwhile, on the southern border, at least 8,000 migrants mostly from haiti are camped out under that south texas bridge. nbc news reported exclusively overnight after arriving in port-au-prince, a group of deported haitian men assaulted u.s. pilots, and injured three i.c.e. officers. what's the situation? i gather from what they're saying from homeland security, they're beginning with these deportation flights to reduce the numbers. but are more people coming in at the same time? >> reporter: yeah, andrea. it is a constant fluid situation here that authorities are very stretched thin in handling. last check, about 6500 people, mostly haitian, are still under the bridge a quarter mile from where i am standing. these are men, women and children who know with about 1,000 already deported back to haiti what could happen if they're not processed and cleared to stay in the united states. that fact alone is enough to raise tensions here. meantime we have seen numbers drop considerably. number over the weekend, 15,000 migrants dropping by more than half we know by speaking to one of them yesterday, a 25-year-old haitian man was at a nearby shelter where he was able to clean up, get food and water, getting on a bus with his pregnant wife to be taken to houston to a processing facility not having to deal with the overcrowding happening here in del rio. you mentioned agencies working this. we have multiple state and federal agencies working in conjunction. border patrol focusing entirely on processing now because there's so many people here, and because texas straight troopers are still parked on the banks of the rio grande river to try to deter any others crossing this way. i had a chance to join a dps trooper, get a firsthand look at the camp still under this bridge right now. at this point i think it is important to say the men, women and children there have been in the shadow of that bridge more than a week and they are getting food and water handouts that have been set up over the last few days, but we're still dealing with temperatures nearly hitting 100 degrees, andrea, and right now, those people are just trying to find some sort of closure. also important, if they are deported back to haiti, a lot of them could be arriving in a country they haven't set foot in for years because so many of these people fled that island nation back in 2010 when that earthquake raf ajed that country. and they could be going back after losing everything to get here back to a place they left more than a decade ago. so that's just one of the issues that's underlying the ongoing situation here that still remains incredibly delicate. andrea? >> delicate, at least. it sounds appalling down there, morgan, especially with the heat. thank you very much. a rough road facing challenges at home and abroad. will the president be able to broker the differences between factions of his own party?

>> well, if you just look at that statement, the acknowledgment, privately, the white house sort of has the posture like you said that the french overreacted and in some ways much ado about nothing. this is a key ally. they are deeply upset. you see in that statement coming from the white house, acknowledgment that at the very least, forget about substance of the deal, there should have been better communication, more clear channels. and the thing that really stung the president were allegations by the french that he was behaving the way former president donald trump would have, that the process, again, not the substance, but at the least the process was ad hoc and slap dash, disrespectful of an ally in the way they would have expected from the former president but not the current one. >> the fact that macron is facing election was galling to them, that joe biden wouldn't have realized in election year when he has the far right opponent rising up for next year, worst possible time to be robbing france of $60 billion and all those jobs. the president's speech yesterday ignored these issues, ignored the controversy among many european allies about the way we withdrew, timing of the withdrawal from afghanistan, not listening to their complaints back at the minister yal meeting, going ahead with withdrawal that became rather messy to say the least. so did the speech accomplish what the president wanted to reassure allies that america is indeed back as he promised at the g7 and in brussels? >> andrea, put down biden's marker clearly and firmly, he said 20 years of war is over. i am the first president in 20 years to speak to you without an ongoing war. i think that was significant. he said we need our allies, we want to work through multi lateral forums to achieve our foreign policy goals. it was in tone so different from what we heard during the four years of the trump administration that i'm sure people welcomed that. the problem as we have been noting is with execution in biden foreign policy and i think our european allies, asian allies want to see clearer, better planned, more consultation in the process roll out of the foreign policy. france is a perfect example of all that. i thought all of the words were right, what europe is waiting for, asia is waiting for, to see how the biden team executes. >> so interesting that without mentioning china by name, not once, there was so much about china in the substance of the speech about going forward. >> andrea, china is the sub techs for everything that happens in foreign policy. china, we haven't been noticing it, what i wrote this morning, significant left return that's shaking financial markets around the world, really is taking the china we have known the last 40 years and changing it sharply. so the world is going to figure out what does that mean for us, what does that mean in democratic and military competition. i think as i said at the outset, china is invisible phrase between the alliance of every foreign policy speech now. >> in fact, it is the motivation of defending against china and increasingly militant china that motivated the president's deal with australia for the nuclear submarines. that's all about that, but trying to assure europe he is not ignoring europe, david. >> yes. to say one more thing about this, i think the most important aspect of the statement that was released after the phone call today between presidents macron and biden is that the process of consultation about how france can be part of our strategy in the indo pacific is going to take place now. it will begin when their ambassador comes back next week. he will continue into october. there will be a face-to-face meeting. france wants to be part of american allied strategy in asia, doesn't want to be as close to us, confronting china as we would like, but that's what the real sting of being left out of the submarine deal was about. china is crucial for france. they want to be part of the broad allied effort to deal with china. >> and resenting the anglo american and australian, uk and american exclusion of france to that regard. all this on the foreign front. we'll be watching what happens when the president wrestles with the progressives and moderates with the domestic agenda at stake. we'll have to take that up another day. it will be tough. time is running out. thank you all with the breaking news on france. appreciate it. feeling the heat, joe biden making big promises on climate change at the u.n., but can he differ?

>> yeah, thanks. you know, you sort of cut to the heart of the matter. we need 50 democratic votes to pass a reconciliation package that has these very important climate provisions. thus far, joe manchin and kristen sinema have been holdouts here. what i would say to them, we have a shrinking window of opportunity. a quickly shrinking window of opportunity to prevent truly catastrophic climate change. if we fail, we will leave behind a planet of fundamentally degraded a planet of fundamental degraded ett for our children and grandchildren. i don't think they want that to be their legacy. there's still time to be on the right side of this issue. to join with the other democrats and pass this reconciliation package with these climate provisions intact so we do get action we so urgently need now. >> and is it now already, how rapidly, according to the u.n. secretary general's speech yesterday, we are already at a critical juncture, even with the ongoing commitments that people have made, are not nearly enough to accomplish what has to be done? >> yeah. well, make no mistake. we're already seeing catastrophic climate change impacts. all we have to do is look out west. we're seeing record wildfires, destructive wildfires are threatening world's oldest tree right now and the super storms that we've experienced back east. so dangerous climate change has arrived. we can still prevent a catastrophic three degree fahrenheit warming of the planet where we will see the most severe impacts. we will start to exceed our adaptive capacity as a civilization. if we act now, sure, some of the damage is already baked in. we can see that now on our television screen. we can prevent the worst impacts. they will stop getting worse if we bring our carbon emissions down to zero. we have to bring them down to 50% to be on track to do that. >> let's go back to the announcement president made at the u.n. if he cannot make it happen by the time he goes to the glasgow climate summit in six weeks, how will that impact america's ability to lead the world and press others like china into action? >> well, make no mistake. the biden administration has done quite a bit already through executive actions. his commitment to provide $11 billion of if you saiding to developed nations, developing nations so they will leem frog. we need them to leapfrog direct sbli the clean energy stage if we're going to prevent catastrophic events on the planet. and china has just agreed to not provide any more financing for international projects so a lot of good things happening. part of it is the biden administration has reasserted american leadership on this issue. that brings other actors to the table. make no mistake, to really get the action, the policies we need, we have to pass this reconciliation package. the two democrats have to have their legacy that be we did not fail to act when we had the opportunity because of partisan politics that they became beholden to. >> this summer and the while fires, the floods, the hurricanes. if this summer didn't bring it all home to americans and american politicians, i don't know what could have. because it has just been so tragic for so many people. and the billions we are spending on rescuing and trying on restore and rebuild after each of these storms is, you know, dwarfed by what it will be if we do nothing. >> yeah. >> come back soon. >> yeah. >> exactly. thanks. thanks for your expertise. i really appreciate it. that does it for this edition of andrea mitchell reports. follow the show online. chuck todd is up next on mtp daily only on msnbc. mtp daily only on msnbc. sustaina. our future depends on regeneration. that's why we're working to not only protect our planet, but restore, renew, and replenish it. so we can all live better tomorrow. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ got a couple of bogeys on your six, limu. they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual so they only pay for what they need. what do you say we see what this bird can do?
