>> we will respond promptly to these questions ads they arise, and as they come up from congress, and we have been working closely with congressional committees and others as they work to get to the bottom of what happened on january six, a dark day in our democracy. >> tonight political reports quote the white house said it intends to review each request by the former president to prevent the disclosure of such records on a case by case basis. just yesterday the january six committee subpoenaed for trump insiders including mark meadows, and former strategist steve bannon. this is all unfolding as the final report on the so-called audit of the 2020 vote in arizona's mayor coppa candy confirms that not only did biden win, but he won by an even wider margin than originally believed. the house oversight committee is not asking for testimony next month with the ceo of the cyber ninjas, that is the group that carried out the five month review. meanwhile the president is trying to save his domestic agenda from falling apart. he's working to keep congressional democrats together ahead of the key vote next week on a trillion dollar infrastructure bill and advantage three and a half trillion dollar plan to extend the social safety net. this follows a chaotic exit from afghanistan, the delta covid surge and the situation at the border. this morning, biden was asked about his campaign promise to bring competence to the white house. >> so what do you say to americans who say that you have not delivered on that promise? >> remember i said it is going to take me a year to deliver everything i'm looking at. number two, take a look at what i inherited when i came into office. every element is overwhelmingly popular of my plans, but the problem is with everything happening, not everybody knows what's in that plan, and the plans we are debating among ourselves in congress are the plans that i have laid out, in the beginning. and so i am confident that at the end of the day, we are going to be able to get that done. i make no apologies for my proposals, how i am proceeding. it's going to go up, and down, up and hopefully at the end of the day, i'll be able to deliver on what i said that i would do. >> house speaker nancy pelosi said that she intends to move forward with votes on biden's agenda, even with those divisions between moderates and progressive democrats. >> madam speaker, how are you feeling about the monday vote, do you think you're still on schedule? >> i think we are on a good path. >> tonight the white house says the president had a call with both speaker pelosi and senate majority leader chuck schumer this afternoon, and will be in touch this afternoon. all of this happening amid concerns of a possible government shutdown and raising the debt ceiling. a moment ago, we mentioned the situation at the u.s. border, over the past several days thousands of migrants, many of whom were from haiti were camped under a bridge in del rio texas. today the homeland security secretary announced that camp has been cleared. he also addressed the controversy over images of border agents on horseback chasing migrants. >> as of this morning, there are no longer any migrants in the camp underneath the del rio international bridge. we are, our entire nation, saw horrifying images that do not reflect who we are who we aspire to be or the integrity and values of our heroic personnel in the department of homeland security. the agents involved in these incidents, have been assigned to administrative duties and are not interacting with migrants while the investigation is ongoing. >> in addition to all of that, the administration has started rolling out boosters for those who have gotten pfizer shots. a cdc advisory panel had recommended those 65 an older, and some people at high risk get those additional shots. the cdc director endorsed that part of the recommendation but overruled the panel and set guidelines would include high-risk workers and today, the president welcomed a decision. >> we took a key step in protecting the vaccinated with booster shots. the majority of americans who are fully vaccinated with the pfizer vaccine are now able to receive the booster shot, six months after they've received their second shot. it's hard to acknowledge them over 65, but i'll be getting my booster shot. we made progress in vaccinating americans. we still have over 70 million americans who have failed to get a single shot. and to make matters worse, there are elected officials actively working to undermine with information the fight against covid-19. this is totally unacceptable. the vast majority of americans are doing the right thing, three quarters of the eligible have gotten at least one shot. >> we're going to have much more on those booster guidelines just ahead. we also saw on live television today, what's so many of us are dealing with when it comes to the ongoing challenges of navigating in-person activities amid a pandemic. it all unfolded on the view, right before scheduled onset interview with vice president kamala harris. >> can someone please apprise me of the situation? >> i need the two of you to step off for a second. >> we're gonna bring you back later. >> and we will tell you why -- >> more information later, it's a tease. >> we will tell you why in a couple of minutes. should i introduce the vice president? >> yes. >> so vice president -- what happened is that sunny and anna apparently tested positive for covid, no matter how hard we try these things happen, they have a breakthrough case and will be okay because they are both vaccinated. >> we're gonna try to do an interview with the vice president remotely. >> so they did go on to interview kamala harris remotely. the white house says the vice president did not come into contact with the shows host. with that let's bring in our lead off guests on this friday night, the jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the associated press, susan page, veteran journalist bestselling author and longtime washington bureau chief for usa today, and cynthia alksne, former federal prosecutor in the civil rights division of the justice department. good friday evening to all of you. jonathan lemire, how critical are these next few days for joe biden's first term? >> extraordinarily critical. we've had the president himself become far more personally involved with the negotiations on capitol hill, trying to bridge the divide between members of his own party, democrats, moderates who right now can't get on the same page when it comes to his two part legislative agenda. the heart of his presidency. the infrastructure, and the much larger reconciliation package which will be democrats alone. what's at stake here, chris, it is nothing less than the fate of potentially democrats in the midterms next year, and if this were to go down in defeat it would be a crippling blow to biden's first term. this would be such a self inflicted wound, he used the words stalemate today, he's acknowledging that a lot of work has to be done despite deadlines set next week by the house speaker. it's not just that, of course. as much as there was good news today, the administration -- that moment you described on the view, underscored just how much of a devastation this virus can, and how much work still has to be done as well. this administration of course is still dealing with the afghanistan withdrawal, and now we are seeing potentially a government shutdown, and as much as, to be clear, some of the fault lies at the feet of republicans, being obstructionists, it's not clear that the general public at large will see that and democrats who won all parts of government right now could face the majority of the blame so there is a lot going on right now for this president. he knows it's a pivotal moment for his first year in office. >> we know there's a nervousness about 2022, susan, but there's also the polling that has shown that joe biden's approval rate has fallen over the course of the last couple of months. what does that mean for him, and obviously the party as a whole as they try to move forward on some of these big initiatives that jonathan has just talked about? >> president biden had an approval rating that was above the 50% mark, that is pretty healthy in today's paul society, but it has sunken down now in the mid forties and more people disapprove rather than approve of the job he's doing. that is important to things like the virginia governor's race, the biggest race we have coming up on this election day. very competitive even though virginia has become a democratic-leaning state. we know that one of the most important things in determining what happens in the midterm elections next year will be the approval rating of the sitting president. democrats, at this point, a pretty alarmed by what they are seeing happening at the white house. that said, positive votes for, she delivers what she has offered to do or said she would do which is bring both of these bills up next week. if they get to the house, if she manages to somehow thread the needle between moderates and progressives and hold democrats together, that will cure a lot of the bills at the biden white house has to face. democrats are capable of governing, they are functional and are on the road of delivering his domestic agenda, if the alternative happens more bad news for the white house. >> so much that is important that the president needs to get done, but cynthia, still plenty of republicans, supporters of the president who 240 days in are fighting the fact that he lost this election pretty significantly. i wanna play for you but the republican vice chair of the maricopa county board of supervisors said about that so-called audit tonight on cnn. >> the cyber ninjas, they came into this with preconceived notions. this should be something that can turn the tide. this could be the beginning of the end of the big lie. but what we need to really accomplish this is now have our elected officials, republican elected officials, like we've done in maricopa county, stand up. leaders here in the state and say okay, this needs to come to an end. joe biden won, it's time to move on. >> time to move on but i guess, will they? first of all, cynthia, what is your reaction to the outcome of this? will fare be, and do you think to these reviews, or is that parcel of u.s. politics that audits can go on indefinitely even in states where the accusing party actually won? >> you know, this is a big week for the big lie. first we had the reviews from the investigation which was supposed to expose the big lie and before the big lie about how trump was hounded. that went down in flames, and nothing happened with that. then we have the audit, which it turns out has done nothing except prove that biden has won the election. and that has led us into the governor of texas saying that he is going to have audits. even though it appears to rational people that this is all underlying the truth, that biden won the election, the result is still very dangerous because the result is that 40% of the people, the majority of the republican party, these people think that he, trump won the election, and so on some level the big lie has won. even though factually it is unsupported and all of these courts have ruled on it, and we have all this evidence. this is what concerns me. it doesn't matter, on some level, to these voters that up is down and down as up, they have decided that they are going to support trump, true or false. i'm afraid that the big lie has succeeded. i don't see a way that it is going to be defeated until 2024, if trump's runs and loses again. >> jonathan, of course the big lie led to the insurrection and now the biden white house is willing to help the jenner six committee. what is at stake here, how important could this be to that investigation and all the playing out under the politics of 2020 -- 2022 is and so far away? >> well, let's reflect back first. how many times during the trump administration for their investigations into alleged misconduct by the presidents associates and the president would exert executive privilege or the strategy from the white house aides, was just to say no, and they wouldn't cooperate with the democrats who controlled the house representatives at the time. they would just thumb their nose at the attempts to investigate. that's different now, of course, democrats are in power, trump is no longer in office and can no longer utilize the privilege himself. what happened today is that we heard from white house secretary jen psaki that the white house was not inclined to go along with that, to help trump and his allies, with executive privilege they would indeed cooperate with documents and turn over to the january 6th select committee, not the bipartisan commission of course because the republicans in the senate put the hold on that, there is still an aggressive investigation into what happened that day, when that is ramping up rapidly and calling in subpoenaing some of the former presidents allies, steve bannon and mark meadows among those and it would be difficult for those allies to stay away from capitol hill and a room where they were forced to testify as to what happened. the political fallout remains to be seen but certainly this shows it's a very different time that when trump was in power and it is best to sweep under the rug the misdeeds of nichols's allies. very different indeed, cynthia, give me your assessment of how this panel january six panel is proceeding. we have already seen the four subpoenas, but they made it clear that more coming, how aggressive do you think it's gonna get? look into your crystal ball, what do you see come in? >> they're gonna have to be very aggressive. because they have a couple of options. they have civil remedies, which, i think we have learned in the last five years go nowhere with this crap. because they don't comply to subpoenas and all they do is stall, and their whole goal is to stall past the midterms and then have subpoenas withdrawn and not have to do anything. so the civil, to me, they have to -- that's gonna go nowhere. and that's gonna leave them with criminal contempt. and that is where this is gonna have to go. if we don't do criminal -- in the way criminal contempt works is if the documents are not produced in october as required, they don't show up, the house will have to vote, hold them in criminal contempt, it will have to go to the department of justice, the department of justice will have to prosecute. them if they don't comply, they will have to be arrested. that is the only way we're gonna get this information. here's the thing, steve bannon is not showing up for this deposition, he doesn't care that executive privilege doesn't apply. they will stall -- they will claim executive privilege, they will claim some other type of privilege, and they are not playing by the same set rules. and the only way to get their attention is to go ahead and use criminal contempt. otherwise, this will just go the same way as every other investigation has gone in the congress. >> so many things going on susan, wow, frankly, nancy pelosi has to get the sausage made. she's gotta figure out how she's gonna wrangle this time even though she is known as a master wrangler. you wrote a book about her. what is your take on how she will approach this drama on capitol hill and how, and if, more importantly, she will be able to pull off next week in terms of votes? >> it's interesting. democrats are pretty downbeat but there are two things that have struck me that make democrats optimistic. one is pelosi's record. in muscling big things through, especially the affordable care act. over and over you'll hear members of congress, i heard one just on the show just before this, one with derek swalwell saying that he had trusted nancy pelosi to somehow make a deal where there seems to be none. another thing that makes democrats optimistic is the consequences of failure are going to be so serious. the consequences of not taking this moment, the best moment, probably, that they will have during the biden presidency, to actually get something done. a big agenda item done -- if they let this, fall it would be a demonstration that they are not a party that is ready to govern. so even if democrats don't quite win [inaudible] more progressives and moderates can come to line -- those are the two things that maybe they will succeed. >> susan page, jonathan lemay, or cindy oxen, a thank you very much. and coming, up the big lie goes bust again but that won't stop the maga faithful, who are still say the last election was a fraud. and next, congress races the biden agenda, but congress as divided as the nation, can anything get? done the 11th hour just getting underway on our friday night. rway on our friday night hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right?

you cannot worry about your electoral prospects because we may not have a democracy by the time that you have in a reelection. >> if lying about their reelection is lying about every form of governance that -- if january 6th is not your line in the sand, what is? >> look, bill, we have talked a lot about this. but is it -- do you agree -- is it so bad now that you worried, literally, about the future of our democracy, is that where we are? >> yes. i think it would be foolish not to after what we have seen over the last four five years. it's not just donald, trump it's the republican party at every moment has habituated to, him enable, time and continues to do, so amazingly, even though he's no longer president, and now this whole thing has momentum of its. only the two officials we, saw the honorable officials in arizona, who stood up to the mob, are extremely unpopular with their own party, it is very unclear whether future. is the governor, dog jussie, who is a decent, person he did call the state and refused to intrude in the election count and help trump steal the election in arizona. nonetheless, he has spoken up against the fake audit. these audits are going. elsewhere whatever they, find the -- we had one election, we had a very careful, count we had recount, and then we have a sort of crazy audit because no one -- they have legitimate legitimate at the notion that you can get a political group and to overcome, or try to overcome, the actual election returns. so i think it's bad. >> don calloway, among the states, texas, i cannot say this enough, we cannot reiterate this enough, a state donald trump won is not going to do an audit information counties in the first seven months of this year. you know this, 18 states, also enacted 30 laws restricting access to the vote. where does this end? >> it ends when donald trump coming back and running successfully in 2024. but pride to, that it comes in sowing seeds of doubt for the midterms coming, up the congressional and senator elections again in 24, and, again, if people, as bill, said people's faith in the democratic process erodes because of what they're fewer donald trump tells them -- if their faith roads, as populations frowned, as younger lgbtq, black and brown, immigrants, become eligible to vote, if you continue to sow the seeds of doubt to combat that growing electorate which is more than likely not to vote republican -- you've planted the seeds of doubts that continue to grow and faster -- you have essentially -- new electorate comes to play. this is a long term messaging play on behalf of, i'm wanting to say the republican party, i'll just say some really anti-democratic forces, and it is dangerous for the foreseeable future. >> which brings us to the key question of what we do about it and, bill, our friend matthew dowd had some thoughts on what we need to prioritize to safeguard our democracy. take a listen. i think today, our democracy is broken. 2022 is by far away more important than 2020. because what happens if the republicans win in 2022? it means that everything they have done, january 6th, all these things that have happened, all the way to -- in the aftermath of the 2020 election, they are going to be left loose with no rains. honestly, vote democratic from the top to the bottom, to try to force the republicans to change what they are doing. >> bill, what's does let loose with no rains looked like? can it be stopped? >> well, we will see. i think it would be safer, frankly, if the democrats -controlled congress friend other to use because would prevent the republicans from controlling congress as we go into the november 2024 long term -- as we go into the 2024 election, possibility of trump there. and then we have one house that might go along with his attempt to overturn the results. it might have been at the state level, they might try to purge the decent democratic -- who stood in the way of trump. remember mitch mcconnell who gave the speech after january, six he was very upset. he is going with all the trump's candidates now who are running for the republican nomination in this big states iowa, south carolina, and elsewhere. he has no problem with, them as he's quoted, saying all they care about is fair republicans. all i care about is if we get to 51. he doesn't care about democracy. he cares about the republican party controlling the senate. it's going to be a trump ear republican party in 2023 than it is now, that it was two years ago. >> bill crystal, and don calloway have agreed to stay with us, coming, up what's next for the presidents agenda as he speaks out about the importance of breaking that stalemate on capitol hill. when the 11th hour continues. en the 11th hour continues are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas or abdominal discomfort? taking align every day can help. align contains a quality probiotic developed by gastroenterologists. it adds more good bacteria to your gut to naturally help soothe your occasional bloating, gas and abdominal discomfort. support your digestive health with align, the #1 doctor recommended probiotic. try align today. and try new align fast acting biotic gummies. helps soothe occasional digestive upsets it's gonna take some time. in as little as 7 days. right a stalemate at the moment. we're gonna have to get these two pieces of legislation passed. both need to be passed. and they will have a profound impact according to not just joe biden but according to wall street, according to the imf, according to the international organizations. >> the president acknowledging the difficulty of passing his agenda ahead and that compiled with the messy afghanistan exit, and the corona pandemic, this already has republicans writing this office a failed demo -- presidency. an article in the new yorker says, it's too early to consign joe biden to the ash heap of history, she goes on to point out, quote, congress is as deeply divided as the country, and arguably even more dysfunctional. there have been for government shutdowns in the past eight years, and that was before democrats came to power in congress with islamist majorities and. years still with us, don calloway, bill kristol. don, i want to read some more from susan glasser's column, she writes, quote, the difficult truth is, that should congress failed to pass biden's bills this, fall it would, in fact, be the kind of political blow that few new presidents can recover from. do you agree? >> joe biden has had some serious challenges over the last 30 days. that goes without saying, i would suggest all the way up to this week what we saw, perhaps, was the administration's newest low with the treatment of the haitian refugees. it hurt all of us on the progressive side really badly. if he cannot recover, it is not because he has been particularly a bad president. if he has problems recovering in 2024, it will be because of the cadence of the congressional schedule. it is critical that in the fourth quarter of this year, he passes the infrastructure bill because next year, going into a mid term, people might not know this, but congress is essentially shuts down. it will largely be a do nothing year so that members have time to campaign. so those at the middle, in the bulk of the come pettit of congressional seats, will have -- making controversial votes. so next year, congress essentially shuts, not and then moving into 23 and his own reelection in 24, the will not be a whole lot of activity if joe biden does not control about -- both houses of congress. he has to pass an infrastructure bill, but i think that he has done enough, child tax credit, ending the war in afghanistan, he has done enough to campaign on. but these three months are critical and he asked produce. because next year's gonna be a shutdown. here >> bill, you can definitely argue it's a little early for all of this angsting hand during by some democrats. but what is undeniable, biden needs this victory in these two bills, and democrats believe that they need this victory too. do you agree with that? why do you think biden is likely to come away with? >> democrats are awfully -- they are really good at hammering that, i'm very -- i'm friendlier with more democrats than i used to. be and i don't say this condescendingly, they care about these issues, they think that these programs are important. you can't do everything at. once if he gets, covid if we turn the corner on covid, which i think we might be pretty close to, we get the boosters, here in virginia, we are bidding to get the four people 65 an or older and health care workers of all ages, we get them -- the cdc recommendation. we are going to get i hope the vaccine for kids which will be a huge relief for kids. i think they can do a much better job on rapid testing, if you can turn the curb on covid and have a sound, economic recovery, and i think those are both very doable from and a couple of months from now, i think the bipartisan infrastructure bill is important. get elements of the big reconciliation bill next year if he has, to this -- so i am less panicked about the infrastructure bills, i do think that it's a general question of seeming strong and confident, presidents go up and down. but i had this hunch tonight, maybe i'm, wrong that this might be, this last, week all the panic, it feels like a contrarian indicator. what do they say in the stock market -- i think we might have a sort of contrarian indicated with everyone these articles, not susan, because she says -- don says them same thing. everyone is saying, oh my, god terrible situation. i think that they are going to have a good recovery. here i think they will at least get a bipartisan bill through. and things could look very different into a few months from here. although you are right, john, there's a lot of disappointment in the progressive part of the party. but another democratic party -- police reform bill fell apart on capitol hill. this is what eugene robinson wrote in the washington post, quote, the democratic party has shown it is willing to negotiate and when support from skeptics such as the police unions. but across the table is republican party that is fine with letting a doctor or a nurse be sued by any random individual for performing a constitutionally protected abortion, but will not let a police officer be sued for committing an online full and fatal assault. what is your reaction to this fall in part? >> eugene robinson is right. dwayne mccann's and campaign zero have done a lot of work on substantive police reform. and what they have found is, aside with all of this, work what we found is that on a large, broad base level, particularly in the states, especially here in washington, d.c. republicans agree that we do not want to derek chauvin, we want to make it illegal to put a knee on next, but they do want to bring -- they might want criminal justice reform, i think they are okay with reducing some of the sentencing and legalizing marijuana, even, in some places. but they really don't want broadbased police reform because they do not want to touch qualified immunity, that eugene robinson othered stew, they'd want to touch looking at the actual police union protection or the police union contracts that really insulate police officers from a lot of really atrocious behavior. i think that we saw that this weekend in washington d.c. with tim scott having to pull out on negotiations because they don't want real reform. they don't walk derek chauvin choking a man to death. but i think we have seen the republican infrastructure be really exposed here for being disingenuous. they don't want serious police reform. >> don calloway and bill crystal, thank you very much for staying up with us. and what we heard about the cdc director today about going against an advisory panel on booster. shots booster. shot every day, coventry helps people get cash for their life insurance policies they no longer need. i'm an anesthesiologist and a pain physician by specialty. i was trying to figure out what i could do with this term life insurance policy. i'm sorta stuck because i can't just go out and buy more insurance, because of my diagnosis. i called coventry direct and everything clicked. there actually were a lot more options that i thought there ever would be. coventry helped michael like we've helped thousands of people sell all or part of their life insurance policies for cash. even a term policy. there probably are a lot of people that are in a similar situation who don't know they have an option. i would definitely recommend talking to coventry about it. coventry made it very easy. i just couldn't have asked for a better experience. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit coventrydirect.com to find out if your policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen.

>> so, good evening, yes i was surprised for other reasons you mentioned. this is only historically happened once and it wasn't exactly similar. but this is not common. but i will tell you, this and is a win -- right outcome with a very secure it is process. i do you think she made the right call, ultimately. and there is mounting evidence to support part of the decision that she went against the cdc's advisory vote. and that had to do with high risk occupation. i realize, i am biased, i am in one of those occupations. but i think she did the right. thing i will say this, chris, from your last segment, i think as we move forward and start to see more americans getting booster shots and, hopefully as case rates are coming down, we will sort of put this in perspective and realize that this was the right decision. >> do you worry though that it adds to the confusion that is already out there about boosters in particular going to bed at night, teachers, for example, health care workers, i am not eligible him -- that changes. would our people who are not qualified for those pfizer boosters need to know tonight and people who don't qualify as well? >> absolutely, chris. no question that this did not help to clarify communication about pretty much anything. i would say the most clarity came from president biden's words where he said, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines. we need to make sure that we get vaccines into people. and in boosters when you are eligible. so very briefly, you are eligible as everybody else started today, my own clinic, 65 an above, as well as under 65 if you have certain high-risk conditions or, like diabetes, your your smoker, obesity. or, that third category of high-risk occupations. there's gonna be a little bit more detail about that because it is hard for an individual to assess am i in a high risk occupation, despite many of the obvious. that's your, point who is left behind, all of us who received moderna, johnson & johnson, and here is what i would say, if you are in a high-risk setting, if you are in a nursing home and you receive moderna, i actually think that that is a reason to potentially move forward and talk about having a pfizer booster. i am just being candid about that, but for most people, 97% of the country who received, moderna i would tell you, crispy, or going to see some action on their application for their booster shot, reduced, owes hopefully in the next several weeks. and johnson & johnson similarly. i will tell all of those people, if you feel like something is being held back because they are not illegible that's simply not the case. you do have durable immunity it logistic several weeks to get. boosters >> we played this clip earlier, the two hosts on the view getting ready to start the, show found out that they tested positive for, covid they had to get off the set. a lot of people watch, that and they think, i don't fit into these categories, and i will probably -- in fact peter alexander said that he would -- how much wiggle room is there and dissipate folks like you, doctors, does it put people at the local pharmacy, at the cds, at the walgreens, in an uncomfortable position? i personally know of people who have been turned away, gone to another pharmacy and then got the okay. >> i do too, by the, way and i had a patient who is technically high risk and needs qualifications to get a booster today who begged me to let her daughter, who was in her thirties, and very healthy, but visits and -- it broke my heart to say, no, she really doesn't need it. it doesn't meet the criteria. you are hitting on the nerve that a lot of americans are feeling because they see the two views -- the two cohosts of the view and are thinking, that could be me, i think almost all of us know if someone who has gotten a breakthrough infection. and perhaps a lot of people have been hospitalized. briefly, breakthrough infections, we are seeing them, they are more, common but we are recommending them in a priority order for which we know that a breakthrough, infection is likely to lead to a hospitalization. hopefully, never to happen, but could lead to death. working backwards, i would say that for a majority of americans, a breakthrough infection is not something you want, but it is something that we will start to become familiar with because, chris, our future is that we are gonna have people who are vaccinated, who get infected, but it will not lead to hopefully any of those devastating outcomes because we will build out enough immunity for those breakthroughs are rare and don't have much consequence. so i know that people are watching every day and hearing more and more worried about their own immunity and not getting enough. that is simply not true, unless you are in those priority populations. i will hopefully fast forward us to a conversation in 2 to 3 months. i think all americans are going to have boosters, it's just a matter of. time and that's actually with the advisory committee said, they need more data. they didn't say people under certain age shouldn't ever get one. they just said we need more data. because the younger people really don't -- they only received their vaccine in the last several months. we're trying to understand that. better i think it's just hard to communicate all of this as you can tell. but all of those first shots, go to bed noting -- the four shots are protecting. you i know this is personal, for us, for you, for me, and a lot of us are living this post trauma, we don't want to go back there. so i get that. go forward. boosters for the high-risk. if you are in a category that is high-risk, and you have moderna in j&j, have a conversation with your physician. we are ready to talk about that, and like i, said some people really, i would encourage them to get vaccinated. >> doctor kavita patel, always great to have you on the program. thank you so. much and thank you for everything that you do. coming up, amid the chaos during the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan, a story of freedom and hope told in moving images. when the 11th hour continues. the 11th hour continues i've been telling everyone... the secret to great teeth is having healthy gums. crest advanced gum restore. detoxifies below the gumline... and restores by helping heal gums in as little as 7 days. nbc news pentagon correspondent crest. the #1 toothpaste brand in america. has more. >> among the chaotic scenes from the withdrawal in afghanistan, injuring images of the war's most vulnerable, the children. a baby handed over the airport wall into the arms of strangers. u.s. soldiers cradling newborns, and perhaps one of the tenderest images, this little girl, exhausted, asleep on the cold metal floor of a c-17, snuggled in the jacket of airmen nicholas barron. >> after we had initially taken off, there was a general sense of calmness and relief that swept through. you saw the small children, they start to lay down and relax and even fall asleep. >> a child finally finding peace after escaping this in kabul. with the tarmac over, run a split second decision by the crew to take as many as we could. >> we saw an opportunity to save lives and we took. it >> packing a plane that usually carries 3:50, the with 800, the most ever. >> we couldn't determine what was the cut off, line we had to determine how much we could. fifth >> as a dad, did you look at these people, did that factor into your decision to allow so many people to get on this aircraft?
