house staffers who told the committee that in the midst of those crucial hours, president trump tweeted mike pence lacked courage for refusing to overturn the election results, something that they say made the situation worse, lighting fire to a flammable situation. >> committee members made the argument that this was not just a deliberate choice by former president trump to do nothing. they say this was part of a deliberate plan to buy time to keep him in power by overturning the legitimate election results, donald trump's own staff, his own advisers, family members, in the finale for now for this set of hearings, that at times got emotional, at times, intense. overnight, the january 6th committee releasing never-before-seen footage of donald trump the day after

green light to the violence. >> he should have been telling these people to go home and to leave and to condemn the violence that we were seeing. >> reporter: mr. trump overnight accusing that witness, sarah matthews, of in his words clearly lying during her testimony. republican vice chair liz cheney ending the night with a powerful question for all americans. >> can a president who is willing to make the choices donald trump made during the violence of january 6th ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again? >> reporter: in a series of about a dozen responses on his social media platform, truth social, the former president among other things called congresswoman cheney, a sanctimonious loser. he's clearly engaging with the hearings, watching to some degree with more of them come

september. >> in fact, originally this was supposed to be the conclusion of the hearings but we heard some of the lawmakers last night say they have gotten more evidence as hearings have gone on, more witnesses coming forward what's the plan now? >> simply that the dam has begun to break that's how liz cheney framed it, the vice chair of the committee. we don't know what we're going to see the committee was deliberate in the way they crafted this narrative arc over the course of the eight hearings, seven plus the surprise we're not sure what that's going to look like in september. they have more witnesses, they're issuing more subpoenas, they have ended other hearings with a cliff hanger, this is a big cliff hanger, too. >> hallie, appreciate it. another story from washington this morning, president biden testing positive for covid. the president says he's doing well while isolating and recovering we're going to talk to the white house's response coordinator to the virus, dr. ashish jha. peter alexander joins us from the white house with this. >> reporter: good morning to you, president biden beginning his first full day of isolation after that positive test his diagnosis, the latest reminder that once again covid cases are surging nationwide with the dominant new omicron sub variant driving those infections, though we don't yet know which strain the president has. his aides saying he's going to work remotely, receiving his intelligence briefing and hosting meetings all virtually president biden this morning

isolated inside the white house residence. the president who is fully vaccinated and double boosted earlier sharing this video just hours after the white house revealed his diagnosis saying his symptoms are mild >> i'm doing well. again, a lot of work done. thanks for your concern. keep the faith it's going to be okay. >> reporter: the president's physician writing mr. biden experienced a runny nose, fatigue, and dry cough wednesday evening and is being treated with paxlovid. >> given how much immunity he has from vaccines and started on treatments right away, all of those things very dramatically reduce his risk of serious illness. >> reporter: the vice president and first lady both identified as close contacts, each of them testing negative yesterday. >> i am going to keep my schedule i am according to cdc guidelines, i'm keeping masked. >> reporter: the president's infection comes less than a week after his return from the middle east in the days since attending

church, meeting ukraine's first lady, and traveling to and from an event in the northeast. still, the white house says it doesn't know when the president was exposed to the virus the covid crisis has changed dramatically since 2020 when former president trump had to be rushed to walter reed, following his bout with the disease just a month before the election. at that point, no vaccines were available, though mr. trump received then experimental monoclonal antibodies before returning to the white house and publicly ripping off his mask. at 79, president biden is the oldest to serve as commander in chief and his white house is taking extraordinary steps to protect him from the virus, including requiring those who meet with him to test negative first. >> we knew there would come a time when by being out there and doing his job as president, sooner or later like a lot of other americans who would get covid. >> reporter: that was the president's chief of staff, ron klain who's also a close contact. the president will stay in isolation for five days or until he tattseseg nive.

he cancelled a scheduled trip to pennsylvania last night, the first lady stayed at the couple's home in wilmington, delaware, without her husband. >> joining us is dr. ashish jha, the white house covid-19 coordinator. good morning >> good morning, thanks for having me back . >> i wonder if you were able to catch up with the president last night or this morning, can you tell us how he's feeling, what his symptoms are, has he developed further symptoms >> as of late last night he was feeling fine i think his exact words were, and i talked to his team who had a conversation with him around 10:00 p.m. last night, his words were i'm feeling just fine he had a pretty, you know, kind of busy day, actually. i was going to say he had a restful day. that's not true. he was in meetings most of the day, making phone calls most of the day, had a pretty i think relaxed evening and have not gotten an update this morning, and as of about 10:00 p.m. last

night he was doing well. >> any reports of fever during the course of sickness. >> no fever, no change in symptoms again, the sort of dry cough, the runny nose, those are his two main things he was feeling yesterday. >> at 79 years old, he's obviously in a high risk category we worry with covid about the lungs, how will he be monitored there at the white house to make sure the illness doesn't progress and become more severe. >> as you might imagine, he has a personal physician who's checking in on him regularly, getting regular vital signs, as one would get with anybody, and so that's the main thing his personal physician is also consulting with infectious disease experts around the country. all part of the plan of what we were always planning on doing if the president got infected, and so he gets very regular check-ins and of course he's meeting with people all day by

phone and by zoom, and so there's lots of eyes on him and making sure he's doing great, which he is. >> we mentioned that he has been given paxlovid, an antiviral therapy, a pill that you take. he has to stop his other medications that he normally takes while he's taking paxlovid one of them treats atrial fibrillation, during this time period when he's off that medicine, do you worry about increased risk of stroke. >> it's a very good question, savannah, we do this a lot in the hospital, we have people who come in for procedures and surgeries where we stop these medicines for a short period of time there really is not a meaningful increase in stroke risk during a short period of time obviously he continues to be monitored, but this is something that is very common practice in clinical medicine of stopping these medicines like this for short periods of time. >> how concerned are you about long covid for a president who gets covid, for anyone who gets covid, but in these conditions

>> yeah, so obviously long covid is something that is always on people's minds bottom line, what we know about long covid is if you think about the proportion of people who end up having significant long-term symptoms, it's very small and cut substantially if you've been vaccinated and boosted, which this president has so obviously he's going to be monitored by his physician, and we're all expecting and hoping for a swift and full recovery, but he will be monitored closely over the next few days to make sure that he's heading in the right direction. >> as we've seen over the course of this pandemic, there was the original covid, some variants, some more severe than others this latest one, ba.5, the most

contagious that we have seen do you assume the president has been infected with the ba.5 omicron subvariant, and where does that fit on the spectrum of severity. >> to good questions first of all, ba.5 is the most dominant, 70, 80% of infections in america are from ba.5 that's possible. instead of speculating, we're getting that virus that he has been infected with sequenced we'll have a more definitive answer to that, you know, in the upcoming days, as soon as that sequencing is done you know, in terms of what we know about ba.5, savannah, we know is extremely contagious, immune evasive if you have been previously infected, you have a high risk of getting reinfected if you haven't had a vaccine in a while, you have a high risk of getting a breakthrough that's why we have recommended that everybody get up to speed on vaccines, if you're over 50 haven't gotten a shot this year, you got to go out and get one. the best way to make sure you don't have serious illness. >> good to have the update from you this morning thank you. >> thank you. well, now to that unrelenting heat wave that's gripping the nation, parts of the east coast now feeling it, and for folks in some major

amazon says these electronic storks can deliver 4,500 products all under 5 pounds using special packaging that cushions the items when dropped. the company says each drone has sensors that detect any obstacle, from other aircraft, to objects and people on the ground. >> if it senses an obstacle in his path, it is not going to deliver. >> reporter: human engineers also monitor the flight and can take control in an emergency. in april, bloomberg reported some amazon employees were concerned the company was putting development speed before safety. an allegation cassidy denies. >> our mantra here is we will always do the safest thing possible, even when the regulator is not looking over our shoulders. >> reporter: amazon has already spent $2 billion on these drones. back in 2013, ceo jeff bezos told "60 minutes" they would be operational before the end of

the decade. >> could it be, you know, four, five years, i think so. >> reporter: but since then, the program has been plagued with delays. >> it was worth the time to spend to get this thing right. >> reporter: when can the average amazon customer expect to order something via a drone. >> certainly within the three-to-five-year window. >> reporter: the race to deliver products faster than ever soaring to new heights. >> erin, these things look pretty big, how will they prevent crashing into one another. >> reporter: with companies like walmart also developing this technology, amazon says some kind of control system will be needed for safety, and that will require companies and the government to work together to create new flight standards and regulations, another big hurdle to this becoming a reality. guys. >> erin, thank you. so much to think about. >> air traffic control for delivery drones. >> do you want to look up in the air and see like ups, amazon drones flying around you, do you want to hear that noise? >> the pollution is one concern.

as a society, though, are we at a point, we can already get my toilet paper the next day, do i need it the next hour! need it dropped on your head. >> i'm sure people will sign up. >> maybe these aren't the drones we're looking for. >> maybe not. here's the thing, i'm talking about it now, i guarantee when it becomes available -- >> depends how low you are on tp. >> i wouldn't have a tv delivered that way. >> no. >> dylan, what do you think. >> what do you do when it rains? >> the old fashioned way, i think. >> you would think about that. >> i'm about to talk about rain. maybe they need a whole bunch of forecasters to let you know what's going to happen. we have strong storms today in spots. you can see it's pretty scattered across the northern plains, the midwest and the interior northeast. large hail, damaging wind gusts a possibility, but tomorrow is when we'll really get a chance of storms, especially across wisconsin, parts of southeastern minnesota, also into

northeastern iowa where we could see wind gusts over 70 miles per hour. hail 2 inches or more in diameter, and we can't rule out tornadoes either. there is a cold front that's trying to move through, and this is why temperatures will drop back down into the 80s in the chicago area as we go into next week, but again, it does come and this is what you will see if you look out your window and san francisco. lots of fog. this is a live look. definitely expected to linger through the afternoon and temperatures will be running a few degrees cooler but it will be pleasant, and also warm through the interior. morgan hill, 90. san jose, 81 and th and that's your latest forecast. >> thank you, dylan.
