13% from last week, not even half of the country is fully vaccinated right now, and that is quite a bit shy of the widespread immunity that is needed at the moment. New cases are rising in all 50 states. Florida alone is where one in every five covid cases in america was identified this week. But unlike last summer, the uptick now is entirely preventable because it s now a plague mainly among the unvaccinated. In maryland, every single person who died of covid last month was unvaccinated. In new york city, 98. 9% of covid deaths from january to june were people who were not fully vaccinated. In l. A. County this week, every single patient hospitalized for covid is unvaccinated. On that note, let s bring in dr. Anthony fauci the chief medical adviser to president biden and the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. Dr. Fauci, thanks again so much for joining us. First of all, what is your reaction to the president saying social media platforms like facebo
To join him in what would have been a soft coup to try to compare this election to those who have been validated for other reasons that there would be wide enough corrupt fraud to be nullified. This is proven. These are now public today, you can see the note here. This is damming evidence revealing, relief of the first time at this level of internal pressure that trump was ordering the justice department to say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republican congress. I am going to read that again, this is evidence that we do not have during the impeachment trial about this very issue. These are independent notes within the highest levels of the trump administration outing them president trump for ordering the doj to say quote, the election was corrupt, leave the rest to me and the r, congressman, the gop. It is a level of fraud that had not been found in internal evidence written before. This is the kind of thing that would big and many people would like to sweep
Longtime trump organization cfo allen weisselberg is reportedly saying that might directly implicate the 45th president of tax fraud. Also, undercutting trump s frames of winning last year s election. We won the election by a landslide. We won it big. But when you win in a landslide and they steal it and it is rigged, it is not acceptable. We won this election and we won it by a landslide. This was not a close election. This was a landslide. We won this election in a landslide. He and his backers have been focused on arizona. We will explain why you probably will hear a little more about votes in the grand canyon state. As the nation remembers john lewis on the oneyear anniversary of his death, the voting rights bill he inspired is facing an uncertain future in congress. President biden continues to issue dire warning about the fight to protect voting rights, activists remain concern that his actions are falling short. Nbc s josh letterman is at the white house with more. Josh, how is
They had detailed plans to attack. One of the men found with five pipe bombs and 40 rounds of ammunition. This was an active plot intended to kill. One suspect saying to the other according to this information, do you think something is wrong with me how i am excited to attack the democrats. The suspect writing after the 20th we go to war. All of this investigators investigators basically, we know what s going on out there. We also know from the government warnings about domestic terrorism and white national groups. These false claims that biden lost and trump won, these claims that somehow trump may return to power during these four years, he won t. All of these are context of ongoing threats and attempted attacks on democracy that we are seeing. Here is more of the context i mention. 216 bills introduced in 41 different states that basically allowing legislatures to politicize and interfere with elections. The plot unfolding in plain sight is to build together with some means that ma
Doing the job that they re supposed to do go after violent offenders and criminals. They shouldn t be dealing with mental health individuals who are experiencing mental health crises unless it s a dangerous situation. Our police officers should be focused on not doing clerical duties but being on patrol. We want to have the trust back in policing and back in the communities they serve, and then most importantly we want to become more proactive and not reactive. Fighting crime is both intervention and prevention. Many people talk only about the preventive aspect, but we must deal with the crime we re facing now and my of my colleagues throughout the country were reluctant to talk about it and even in the city of new york, they were reluctant to talk about the crime on the streets, and i refuse to do so. Anderson, my son won t grow up in a city i grew up in filled with crime, graffiti, and violence. That is unacceptable. Eric adams, pleasure to talk to you. Thank you. Thank you very much
