U. S. Forces are out of the picture. Thanks for joining us. Well, the threat of the Delta Covid Variant looms large across the United States, especially in states where Vaccination Rates remain low. But now theres concern the variant could even impact the effectiveness of vaccines. The israeli government says preliminary data shows the Pfizer Vaccine is less effective than before in preventing covid19 infections mainly due to the spread of that Delta Variant. Though the vaccine is still strong in preventing severe illness. More than 157 Million americans are now fully vaccinated. Thats almost half of the u. S. Population. Now health officials are pushing to get even more shots in arms as they battle vaccine hesitancy. Cnns Phil Mattingly reports from the White House. Reporter President Biden may have fallen short of his goal of having 70 of american adults with at least one dose of the Covid19 Vaccination by July 4th. It didnt mean he was going to stop the celebration, stop an acknowle
From the president On Down are sounding the alarm about the future of our democracy. Nothing less. This is happening just as we mark 100 years since the darkest moment in the history of an entire region that was covered up successfully for decades. A massacre in tulsa, oklahoma, that decimated a thriving black community. Biden became first president to speak at site of that attack. Linked it to what he says is a frontal assault on our right to vote.

Looking at are what is standing in the way of a full investigation of the attack on our nations capitol. It is the latest evidence that the former party of Lincoln And Reagan is now the party of insurrection, solely focused on party over country, terrified at what the commission might find and that the conclusions would be politically damaging and hurt them in the 2020 midterms. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer addressed this during remarks on the Senate Floor following the vote. This vote has made it official. Donald trumps Big Lie has now fully enveloped the republican party. Trumps Big Lie is now the defining principle of what was once the party of lincoln. We all know what is going on here.

He actually interrupted the Press Conference, clearly very distraught. A lot of anger, pain that he was showing there. We are at the hospital where those who are injured are tonight. There are still Family Members coming and going hoping the Get News that their Loved Ones will be okay. Well get bac
