The same mindset, and its highly disturbing you still have people in america who want to take on democracy and destroy it. And this Afternoon Capitol Police arrested a man for a Weapons Violation saying that he brought a long knife to the rally. Lets go to Nbcs Elson Barber joining us from there. I know the crowds are much smaller, but for the most part with they remained peaceful . Yeah, i mean by and large they have. As you mentioned there was that one individual who according to Capitol Police was arrested. He is facing a weapons charge. They say he had a knife.

Do you have any estimate of how long the investigation might take . You know what, i would be guessing. I mean, this is obvious a very high profile investigation. Theres a lot of information out there. We have a lot of factfinding to do. We have a lot of interviews to do. And im not going to rush it because of who he is, and im not going to delay it because of who he is. Were going to condu

We are learning the extent of how dangerous the Delta Variant really is and how contagious it is, even among the fully vaccinated. Cdc officials are saying The War has essentially changed.

Also at this current rate, according to the cdc documents, at this current rate were seeing 35,000 Breakthrough Cases, but we do want to let folks know Health Officials are saying that vaccines are still effective, despite these new alarming numbers, and this is more reason for folks to get vaccinated, because we know now how contagious the Delta Variant is.

Theres a lot of good energy and a lot of good power and thats what its going to take to get the for the people act through. Weve got to get the president and members of the senate the power they need to get this done. Thats why were rallying at the capitol.
