this is perry county and a small county, rural place, nobody thought they'd get it here. it has today right now has one of the highest rates of infection in the entire country. >> miguel, thank you very much. and thanks to all of you for being with me. ac 360 starts now. good evening. it is unusual and extraordinary to hear a president address the nation so obviously frustrated with millions of his own fellow americans. but that was the tone president biden struck late this afternoon as he announced a series of new steps to fight the coronavirus surge. frustration at republicans fighting mask mandates in schools, many of whom have been defiant in their response to the new rules and guidance but also tens of millions of vaccine eligible americans who remain unvaccinated. saying at one point we've been patient, but, quote, our patience is wearing thin. unsparing on who's to blame,

equally blunt about the difficult road ahead. >> while america is in much better shape than it was seven months ago when i took office, i need to tell you a second fact. we're in a tough stretch, and it could last for a while. >> president biden laid out a six-point program to combat the virus, and we'll talk about them with chief medical officer dr. anthony fauci. authorize been cases and deaths higher than they were one year ago. first we want to lay out the basics of the administration's six-part plan. first new vaccination requirements. perhaps the headline here, employers with more than 100 workers be required to have mask mandates or weekly testing. although that testing comes with a requirement that the employer provide paid time off. failure to comply could mean fines. also a new mandate for federal workers and contractors. plus one for health care workers at facilities that take funding from medicare or medicaid.

the white house is also calling on entertainment venues like football stadiums to require proof of vaccination or testing. second, the white house stressed the need to protect those already vaccinated with booster shots. that program is scheduled to begin in 11 days. third, the white house is also promising to keep schools open. it will mandate vaccines for educators in federally funded programs like head start. it also calls on states to adopt vaccine requirements for all school employees. plus the president says the government will restore pay to educators who lose income in state mask mandate fights like the one in florida. and fourth, increasing testing and requiring masks, there'll be more free testing and also retailers will sell at home kits at cost. and the tsa is doubling its mask fines. fifth, protecting the economy. the administration is promising more support for small businesses. sixth and last, improving care for the already infected. that includes more staffing for overburned hospitals and increased shipments of

monoclonal antibody doses. so there's a lot to cover. joining us right now is dr. anthony fauci. dr. fauci, you're obviously the president's chief medical advisor. what caused him to decide to try to move what is clearly aggressively and change his thinking on vaccine mandates? >> well, anderson, i think you can appreciate that by the tone of his voice and how he presented it at the -- at the press conference this evening, he is clearly frustrated and understandably so. wave done everything we possibly can do to get people to get vaccinated. we have trusted messengers. we made it easy. it's simple. it's safe. it's free. the data overwhelmingly show that in those areas that are under-vaccinated you're having a high level of dynamics of virus. in those areas that are vaccinated it's much lower. the data are overwhelming to show why it is so important if

we want to get this outbreak under control in this country to get vaccinated. and the president is understandably frustrated, and that's the reason why he came out with his 6-point plan. and you very correctly outlined each of the 6 points. >> you've been very consistent in saying the country needs to be below 10,000 new cases a day. this past june we got to 11,000 new cases a day before the delta surge, so is that a realistic end game? i mean what -- can the country get there and what happens until the country does get there? why is that a number? >> well, you know, it's an imperic number. i mean we'd like to see it much lower than that. we'd like to see it close to zero, anderson. and the thing that you do is you do everything you can particularly in the arena of vaccination to get as many

people vaccinated as you possibly can and let that number go as low as it can go. saying 10,000 is a reasonable number, but you can't just have one number you hang your hat on. you just want to get it as low as you possibly can. the 1 thing that we do know for sure, anderson, that 160,000 cases a day is not where we want to be. and unfortunately that's where we are right now. >> almost immediately after the president laid out his plans more than a dozen republican governors condemned the speech, many called it an overreach indicating there's going to be legal action. does the president have authority to tell companies what to do and all the other mandates he's outlined? >> he has the authority when it comes to the federal government's authority. for example, he can tell through the department of labor that any company that has 100 or more individuals should make a rule that either their vaccinated or they get tested. he can say that they can get paid leave to get vaccinated. he can certainly with an

executive order say that members of the executive branch of the federal government need to be vaccinated. those are all things he can do as president. so i don't see any issue what whoir not getting done. >> there was a sense of frustration in the president's voice. are you as frustrated, and who or what do you fault? >> well, i am as a physician, a scientist and a public health individual, anderson, i am frustrated. and the reason is we do have the tools to end this. i mean i've been in situations in public health situations where you didn't have the tools to end something that was devastating people with regard to illness and death. that is very frustrating. it's frustrating in a different way when you have the tools and you have the wherewithal to get to the end game of where you want to be but you don't implement them. so, yes, i am, i believe, equally frustrated. i don't want to see people get

sick. i don't want to see them get hospitalized. and i certainly don't want to see them die, but that's what's happening when you don't vaccinate to the full extent possible. >> the president outlined an aggressive new testing plan, but just yesterday your colleague dr. francis collins, director of the nih said there's still problems distributing tests. how can that be? >> no, what the president was saying is he's using the defense production act to get literally millions and millions of tests many of them free for individuals. so the distribution will come. right now we just need those tests, and we are going to be accelerating the testing program as the president outlined in one of his six points. >> but is there enough testing currently? i mean you're talking about things people can buy or get at cost or get for free to test themselves i assume. >> yeah. >> i mean what is the tracking on, you know, do we know in

people who are not demonstrably sick how widespread this virus is? >> well, the point you're making i believe anderson are we testing enough people without symptoms, and the answer is no. we all realize we need to do that more. and the moria test people you'll get a better grasp what the penetrance of the infection is. we'll be doing that, and that's one of the things the president is talking about, expanding significantly testing capability and implementation. >> the los angeles school district, the second largest in the country voted this evening to mandate vaccines for all students 12 and older. the fda fully approved the pfizer vaccine for 16 and older. when do you think they'll grant full approval for children and teens 12 to 15? >> they'll look at it and in the

typical manner will carefully examine it and make a regulatory determination as quickly as they possibly can. >> dr. fauci, i want to bring in someone much smarter than me, our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. i know you've got some questions for dr. fauci. >> hey, dr. fauci. thanks for being here. the overall hospitalizations are about 2 1/2 times what they were at this point last year and deaths are about 2 times. obviously a terrible situation. how long do you think we'll actually get the impact of those new vaccine mandates if they happen? is it going to be in time for what we're dealing with right now? >> well, it's certainly not going to be immediate as you know, sanjay, because you're talking about three weeks from the time you get your first dose and thereafter. to what happens today is going to have an impact maybe six or

more weeks from now. in the meantime as you well know you've got to do both. you've got to do mitigation as accelerating the vaccine program. the mitigation has to do with masking, mask mandates, avoiding congregate settings particularly indoors, all the things you and i have discussed so many times. you've got to do both those things simultaneously because there is that lag six weeks or more before you get the full impact of a vaccine you give today. >> you know, when it comes to the mandates for -- through the department of labor and companies out of 100 hoar more employees. my understanding is either you get a vaccine or you have to be tested regularly, and oftentimes it seems these two things are commingled like do one or the other. in one case you're preventing it, in the other case you're diagnosing it. why not just do the vaccine mandate and say the testing can be sort of this off-ramp?

>> well, i think the president is, you know, being somewhat moderate in his demand, if you want to call it that. in that there are some people who really don't want to get vaccinated but they don't want to lose their job. you've got to give them an off lane. and the off lane is if you get tested frequently enough and find out you're positive you won't come to work and you won't infect other people. so it really is somewhat of a compromise there. myself i would make it just vaccinate or not. but he was trying to be moderate in what his pronouncement was. >> and just real quickly, there was a study that came out of israel about natural immunity. and basically the headline was that natural immunity provides a lot of protection even better than the vaccines alone. what are people to make of that? so as we talk about vaccine mandates i get calls all the time. people say i've already had covid, i'm protected and now the study says maybe even more protected than the vaccine

alone. should they also get the vaccine? how do you make the case to them? >> you know, that's a really good point, sanjay. i don't have a really firm answer for you on that. that's something we're going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response. the one thing the paper from israel didn't tell you is whether or not as high the protection is with natural infection what's the durability compared to the durability of a vaccine. so it is conceivable you got infected, you're protected but you may not be protected for an indefinite period of time. so i think that is something that we need to sit down and discuss seriously, because you very appropriately pointed out it is an issue and there could be an argument for saying what you said. >> and where -- where are we on kids below the age of 12 getting -- whenever the trials will be done that kids can get vaccinated under the age of 12? >> yeah, well, good question,

anderson. there's a timetable for that. right now if you look at the testing that's being done now and we're doing together with the pharmaceutical companies is that pfizer is a bit ahead of moderna in the testing age group. so we likely will get enough data to present to the fda for the possibility of an emergency use authorization somewhere around the end of september, the beginning of october. how long it's going to take them if they decide that they want to go there eua route, it may take a few weeks after that to make the determination. moderna is just a few weeks behind, maybe two weeks behind. so they're going to get enough data for an eua probably mid, end of october. so within the next several weeks, a month, month and a half we should have enough data to make determination is it safe and effective to give it to children 11 years of age and younger? >> dr. fauci more than 100,000 people are hospitalized because of covid right now. some hospitals are overwhelmed,

starting to ration care. now people have a choice to prevent covid illness or serious illness or death and aren't taking it, how should doctors choose if it comes to that who receives an icu bed? and should, you know, field hospitals reopen in certain parts of the country? >> anderson, if you're asking should you preference it for a vaccinated person versus an unvaccinated person, that's something that is always widely discussed. but in medicine i know that you don't prejudice against someone because of their behavior. just don't do that in medicine. there'd have to be some other medically sound reason on the evaluation of one person versus another whether you're going to give scarce resources to. but not in a punitive way for someone's behavior. >> and field hospitals? >> well, what is the question?

if it gets to that, fine, you do whatever you can to take care of people. if you get overwhelmed in the hospital system as it exists you do everything you can to be able to give proper treatment to people even if that is mobilizing a field hospital. if that's necessary, definitely. >> dr. anthony fauci, i appreciate your time. sanjay, as well. thank you. still to come the attorney general announcing a new law against texas for its new abortion law that's effectively ended abortion for women seeking them. and later something we were just talking about, vaccine mandates in schools. a big victory for those who support them in one of the largest school districts in the country. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? sorry? well, since you asked. it finds discounts and policy recommendations, so you only pay for what you need. limu, you're an animal!

or, quote, aid and abet those who seek them. since the law went into effect eight days ago clinics across texas have stopped offering abortions after six weeks or stopped offering them altogether. attorney general merrick garland filed a lawsuit today. he said it conflicts with federal law including activities to federal employees providing abortion services. >> this kind of scheme to nullify the constitution of the united states is one that all americans, whatever their politics or party should fear, if it prevails it may become a model for action in other areas by other states and with respect to other constitutional rights and judicial precedence. >> the lawsuit comes after the supreme court refused to block the law from going into effect. the office of texas governor greg abbott said in a statement

it would defend the law. former texas state senator -- jeff, does the justice department have a strong case here? >> it was certainly a powerful and persuasive case that this law is outrageous, that it conflicts with the constitution. the problem is when you dig into the 27-page complaint the issue is standing. the issue is does the justice department under federal law have the right to bring this lawsuit? because this lawsuit says nothing about the federal government. now, attorney general garland tried to make the case that it has an effect on federal agencies in texas. that may or may not be a persuasive argument to the courts there. but the problem with this whole case from the beginning has been procedurally how to get the

issue squarely before the court. the supreme court of the united states didn't address it when it allowed the court to go -- it allowed the law to go into effect. this is an attempt to get the courts to address it. but under the standing rules i'm not sure it'll be successful. >> senator davis, what do you think? >> jeffrey makes an excellent point. i was so glad to see the department step up. there were a lot of states around the country who have passed these if roe v. wade was overturned then we are going to immediately prohibit abortions in our state. and those haven't been challenged because they haven't had any kind of an impact yet. but this law in texas even though no one has filed suit yet, as you mentioned in your opening, anderson, this has shut clinics down and stopped the

ones that remain open from offering abortion care after six weeks. and so we're in this terrible standoff position where no one has filed suit yet to trigger, you know, the ripeness and the standing, and yet the impacts of this particular law are shrouding the ability for people to receive abortion care in our state, and it's already creating a devastating impact on very real people. and i'll be interested to see how this particular federal trial court addresses this question. there are two judges on this trial court, one of whom was appointed by a democrat, one of whom appointed by a republican. and even the republican judge, and in fact most of these anti-abortion cases from texas have gone through his court.

he has shown absolutely no patience for the state's attempts to get around the constitutional protections of roe v. wade either through targeted regulation of abortion providers. and i'll be really interested to see how he answers this question jeffrey raises while simultaneously of course understanding what the state has done here is essentially try to aggregate its role in creating an undue burden on women to as laurence tribe called them private attorneys general, these vigilantly citizens who don't even have to claim any personal harm in order to bring the suit. >> just the timing of this, how long do you think the lawsuit might take to make its way through the system and how long it happens. >> quite some time.

last week let this law go into effect without having a constitutional challenge. i mean even the state of texas acknowledges that this law conflicts with binding supreme court precedent, roe v. wade in 1973, the casey decision in 1992. no question that this law conflicts with the laws -- the law of the land as we think it exists. but by -- the supreme court in letting this go into effect has created this completely bizarre situation where a plainly unconstitutional law is now in effect and now denying women their rights in texas. and there is no court at this moment evaluating whether it's constitutional. i've never heard of a situation like that, but that's what the situation is right now. and it's going to continue for weeks and potentially even months. >> yeah, senator davis, i really

appreciate your time tonight. >> you saw the speech by president biden obviously on covid vaccine mandates. more than a dozen have vowed to fight it. >> i have to say this is not an area that is completely clear because osha, the part of the department of labor that regulates workplaces does do workplace safety. but as far as i'm aware they have never issued an order this broad especially regarding a vaccine, so this will certainly wind up in the courts almost as soon as this regulation is promulgated. the regulation hasn't happened yet. i think what the biden administration is hoping is that they will simply force a lot of employers to make this change, and most people won't bother to wait for a court case. they're just going to try to get people vaccinated and that's really the point. >> jeff toobin, thanks very much

there's breaking news tonight. los angeles has become the first major school district in the nation to mandate covid vaccines for students 12 and older. the move comes as covid cases among children are soaring in parts of the country, and this could pave the way for more school districts across the nation to do the same. joining me is kelly gonez, the president of the school board. thanks for joining us. can you explain why the board decided to take this action and when the mandate is going to be implemented? >> sure. thank you so much for having me, anderson. so the l.a. school board today voted unanimously to require covid vaccinations for students 12 and older who are attending in person school. and the mandate goes into effect earlier at the end of october for students who are participating in sports or other extracurricular activities.

and then all of our students ages 12 and up must provide documentation of full vaccination by january 10, 2022. >> and does this apply to teachers and others who work in the schools at all? >> it's a great question. we actually have already passed vaccination mandate for our employees, so all employees and third parties who do work on our campuses must be fully vaccinated by october 15th. >> so teachers as well. >> so this is really cacontinuation of our strategies to keep our schools safe. >> early in the program dr. fauci was saying for kids under 12 they'll likely have enough data the possibility of emergency use authorization by the end of october. if and when that emergency use authorization happens will this vaccine mandate apply to kids under the aim of 12 in schools or voted be separately by the board? >> right now this mandate only applies to ages 12 and up. i think we would certainly once those data are available and once that approval is provided

we'll certainly want to consider what we can do for our students ages 12 and under because that's a big concern for our families right now. how do we keep our elementary students safe. >> the fda hasn't given full approval for the vaccine for kids 12 to 15, still under emergency use authorization. what do you say to parents who have kids in that age group who say they want to wait for the full fda approval before getting their kids vaccinated? >> you know, i'm a mom of two young kids myself. so i know how hard it is for our families to know exactly what's the best way to keep their kid safe during the pandemic. and there's also been a lot of intentional misinformation. so in this environment it is understandable that parents have questions and concerns. and we here in l.a. unified want to be there to answer those questions and make sure they get accurate information about the vaccine in a culturally responsive way. though the vaccine doesn't yet have full approval for ages 12 and up all of the health authorities whether they be the

los angeles county department of public health, the cdc, dr. fauci, the american academy of pediatrics they all recommend youth ages 12 and up become vaccinated. and we know millions of americans have been vax nalted including youth, and almost none have had adverse reactions. and the protection it offers from covid is significant. so we believe that the risks are significantly outweighed by the benefits of covid vaccination for all our students. >> so the mandate will allow those with, quote, qualified and approved exemptions to opt out. what qualifies as an exemption? >> so families may submit an exemption and some students such as foster youth or students experiencing homelessness can also receive conditional admission because we know they might have barriers to accessing immanization. and we would be consistent when

looking at this new vaccine mandate. >> and once this takes effect would l.a. county schools keep other protocols in place like masking indoors, outdoors, weekly covid testing? because in middle schools vaccines under 12 would be the same for other unvaccinated kids. >> right. i think the hope is we know vaccinations are the single best way to protect our students and keep our schools open and keep our kids safe for kids to learn and to thrive. i think the hope is as we implement this requirement for both our staff and students, we'll still be able to have a day where masks won't be required because all of our students are vaccinated and that we'll be able to reduce testing. so i think we look forward to that day. obviously we'll have to approach those decisions once we get this mandate. >> it's so complex and school boards have so much to deal with, and i appreciate you talking to us about it tonight. >> thank you. a woman who lost her mom at

saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. for the families of those lost

grief obviously comes in many different forms prch for one victim's family this year is already profoundly different. dorothy morgan was working as an insurance broker in the north trade tower when it was attacked. recently 20 years after she died thanks to new dna technology a new york city medical examiners office was finally able to identify dorothy's remains. she's the 1,646th person identified through dna testing. detectives broke the news to dorothy's daughter last month. it was a call she was not expecting, and we asked her to come on and talk about what it's meant. she joined me earlier. thank you so much for speaking with us. i cannot imagine emotionally what this has been like after all these years. >> oh, my goodness, it has been an emotional roller coaster. first you have somewhat of a calm and then you get news like

this, and then it's all over again. you're in shock. you get -- you're crying. it is just all over the place. all over the place. >> obviously everybody -- grief is different for everybody, and everybody deals with loss in a different way. obviously you knew your mom was killed that day. she worked as an insurance adjuster if i'm correct in one of the towers, right? >> she was in the north tower i want to say and maybe second in that area on that floor. and honestly i can't say -- okay, later on i knew yes, she was killed that day. when it was happening i didn't want to believe that. >> how long did it take you to

come to believe it? >> years. >> wow. >> yes. >> so what did you tell yourself? >> my mom was out there. she was out there, maybe had amnesia and then was released from the hospital. i had a whole story in my head. and she was out there living life, happy. >> i understand that. >> yep. >> to suddenly then discover this, i mean personally your mom's name is dorothy morgan. >> right. >> and you didn't -- over the years you've never been to ground zero, is that correct? >> i have not. i will go for the first time on saturday. >> yeah, i want to talk to you about that. but the decision -- it's interesting to me, again, everybody deals with stuff differently. and i don't know how i would deal with this. it's interesting i think to

people that for you -- you didn't feel a connection to that place that you needed to go to be at the memorials over the last 20 years. >> no. i wouldn't go. september 11th on my calender didn't exist. it was september 11th, september 12th. on the 11th i did nothing. if it was a workday, i stayed home and i didn't answer the phone, didn't watch television at all, nothing. september 11th did not exist for me for many years. >> my dad died when i was 10 years old and father's day did not exist for me. i just pretended it never happened. i pretended it didn't exist. so detectives come to your house and i understand i think it was your son called you toicides that there were police here and

they want to talk to you and it's about grandma. >> yes, yes. that -- i couldn't imagine what they could have been at my house for. and to speak about my mother. then the detectives, they spoke to me and said that the city medical examiner reached out to them and i guess the procedure is they have to notify someone, the district that covers your area. and they came out and to tell me that remains were discovered. my mother 20 years later, and gave me the number for the medical examiner. >> wow. what was your mom like? >> my mom was beautiful. i always have my memory that always pops up in my head is watching my mom get ready for work in the mornings.

even as a child and standing behind her in the mirror and watching her do her hair and her make-up. just an amazing woman. everyone loved her. even just over the phone, the clients that she had that never met her, they came to her memorial service. never met her and just thought she was a wonderful human being. and that's how she was with everyone. >> so you had a memorial service, but in your mind, in your heart she was still out there. >> yeah. it was a celebratory service for me. i was very emotional then, but it still was not real for me. >> and so finding out that she'd clearly been identified, i mean is it disappointment?

is it relief? is it -- >> it's not disappointment. i really don't know how i'm dealing with it. the -- what's making me deal with it is having to go through the process of obtaining the remains, which i have not begun that process because i feel like that is what makes it real. the conversations that i have and everything, i ask the questions, but to actually have to go through a funeral director and go to pick up the remains and discuss with them what i want to have done, if i want to prepare it for a burial or for a cremation, i think that may do it for me. that may be, okay, this is it and this is final. i think that's why i've put this off. and especially now dealing with

the 20th anniversary and having to deal with that as well, i think i've got to put that off because of that. it would be final for me, and i don't know if i'm ready for that. >> yeah, it's got to feel overwhelming. it's got to feel almost like it's bringing you back to when you first found out. >> exactly. exactly. exactly. >> and yet you're going. you're going on saturday to ground zero. and you are going to say your mom's name. you're going to read out her name. >> i am. i thought about it. i spoke with my godmother who's my mom's best friend from second grade. >> from second grade, your mom's best friend. oh, my gosh, she must be like your aunt or -- >> she is flying in tomorrow. >> wow. >> she is going to go. >> she's going to go with you? >> yes, yes. and she hasn't been either.
