Jordans foreign minister was in iran Yesterday And President biden is scheduled to speak with jordanian king abdullah ii but very little public iranian interaction with those trying to avert a crisis. Israel is taking steps to prepare for a prolonged conflict as reports indicate the initial iranian response could include extensive missile and drone attacks. The top general saying this today. When it receives a firm response, it will realize it has been wrong. They keep making miscalculations. They repeated this mistake this time, too. They will once again get a taste of our punishment and find out when, where and how we will retaliate. It is ambiguous and indeterminate. A document sent to mayors of northern cities told officials to prepare for water outages, power cuts and evacuations and in jerusalem an underground come bunker was opened. Preparations comes as fighting rages on inside Gaza Strip. Israeli negotiators traveled to egypt this weekend for talks about a possible ceasefire b

Unprecedented events, i feel like they re piling up one on top of the other. Just a few moments ago donald trump officially became the republican nominee for president for the third time in a row and just moments before that he announced on truth social that he has selected ohio senator j. D. Vance to be his running mate. The start of the republican national convention taking place at an incredibly tense and volatile moment for the entire country. Less than 48 hours after an assassination attempt on the expresident, a shooting that left one person dead, two others critically injured. If we see donald trump today it will be his first public appearance since that horrific and tragic incident. It is violence that is deeply corrosive to our democracy. We all unequivocally condemn it in the strongest terms possible and as my colleague rachel maddow puts it, quote, there is no no no violent solution to any american political conflict. We would also like to extend our sympathies to the family
How is it going, sir? peachy. I, still, am flummoxed by um the misinformation over the vaccine. People refusing to get vaccinated. And also, refusing to wear masks. Um, every day, seems like it gets worse. And i don t mean that. I am talking about the people who are dying, who are actually coming down with it. Especially, the children. If you saw martin savidge s report tonight. Just heartbreaking. People who are seen with significant cases and hospitalizations are getting younger. Part of the metric here is ignorance.

Of course, you ever the freedom to make choices about your own body. Let s put to the side the irony that so many of these people don t want to afford that freedom to women. But what we re saying is, does it mean it s the right choice? and these suggestions. Uh, i think the vaccine is safe
Participate. House republicans take their ball and go home over the january 6th investigation. Plus we ve got two epidemics go on right now. One of those biological caused by a virus. The other is informational. The head of the national institutes of health on how to fight covid misinformation. Then there are very few businessmen that ever survive in the political part of washington. The latest on the arrest of trump s inaugural chairman and what it can tell us about the expresident s actions in the middle east when, all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. For the last two days, much of the northeast and midwest look like this. The haze of the sun, a thick smog over an entire region of this country that is very much not used to it. Unlike the mountain west which lives with forest fires, this kind of smoke settling over the eastern seaboard has felt dystopian and new. In fact, it s not just your imagination if it feels that way to you, if you live in that p
