i'm jane pauley. please join us when our trumpet sounds again next sunday morning. i'm margaret brennan in washington and this week on "face the nation," grim economic numbers prompt new fears of a recession as president biden makes a controversial trip to try and help cut global energy prices. costs continue to soar. with the price of food, energy and housing all up from may. inflation is now up 9% year over year despite a strong jobs market and decreasing gas prices. wall street and economic observers were shocked by the report, but those numbers came as no surprise to americans finding it harder and harder to make ends meet. this was not the news the president needed on his mid east trip where he was criticized by some democrats for meeting with

the saudi crown prince. mbs approved an operation to kill jamal khashoggi in 2018. >> i'd be glad to talk about something that matters. >> will inflation go down from here, mr. president? >> we'll devote most of our broadcast to the economy today. presidential data around energy security, and jason furman and d.c. mayor muriel bowser. ime-tillth preview this ek january 6 hearings w presenting evidence thursday. plus, former fda commissioner dr. scott gottleib is back with us as monkeypox continues to spread and new covid variants prompt questions about what kind of booster works best. it's all just ahead on "face the nation."

good morning. welcome to "face the nation." we have a lot to get to today, but we begin with the new january 6th investigation developments. late friday the committee issued a subpoena for secret service records following the revelation that the agency had erased text messages from the day before and the day of the january 6th attack on the capitol. last tuesday's hearing detailed a chaotic white house meeting between the former president, white house counsel pat cipollone and a group of outsides advisors over a plot to seize ballot boxes and overturn the 2020 election. this week the panel will hold a primetime hearing on thursday we're going to walk down capit

>> until he issued that infamous video message. >> so go home. we love you. you're very special. >> republican congressman adam kinzinger will be co-leading that hearing on tuesday, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's start with the secret service texts. they said it was a matter of timing and a tech upgrade. do you believe that or was this malicious? >> i think we're going to know more tuesday. we made the decision as a committee that we need to subpoena the records. the ig said we have been working hard to claim this. we moved everything, we lost these texts and then they also put out a statement though that said we've only lost some of the texts and everything relevant to this investigation has been turned over. those are very conflicting statements so we decided as a committee, let's request these by tuesday and we can make a decision. i will say this, in the very

least it is quite crazy that the secret service would actually end up deleting anything related to one of the more infamous days in american history, particularly when it comes to the role of the secretst somee? >> that's what we -- from what untand, ey've said we'll meet this we'll see what we get. ow. if endetting texts, obviously for whatever reason the ig didn't, now you have what you have. if we don't, then it'll call out the secret service as saying they had the texts or they don't. is this anything big? we're not sure but we need to chase every lead down on this. there's a question of why are they not cooperating with the ig. >> secretary general? >> the dhig. >> the committee has spoken in

the past with some secret service officers so do you have a date yet to question the two in particular, tony ornato about what happened january 6th? he's relevant because of cassidy hutchins's testimony. >> we'd love to have him come in. we're working out the details. through anonymous sources they said they would be happy to come in. anybody that knows anything but it's got to be under oath. right now it's just been discussion through see very confidential and cassidy hu hutc hutchinson, it's important. >> will you get that by thursday on this hearing? >> i highly doubt we'll get them coming in talking by thursday but, again, i would love that. but we keep getting new people coming in every day with information willing to go on the

record. it's been amazing since the hearings started. >> cnn reporting a dc police officer who had been somehow involved in the motorcade arrangements was corroborating the testimony given by cassidy hutchinson, that there was almost violent confrontation with the former president and the vehicle that day. is that what the committee has been told? >> i can't confirm or deny those because we haven't come out with who we have or haven't spoken to. i'll just say i'm not going to aggressively push back on that characterization. we have every reason to believe what cassidy hutchinson said at least from what she heard. she was never in the limb know. >> she was told this by others. >> she was told this. we fully believe she is a credible witness and her allegations are quite explosive. >> 187 minutes. you're leading this hearing. you know what you can present at this point.

can you at least tell us if you've filled in the blanks of, you know, who the president actually was speaking with, why there weren't phone records, for example, of phone calls he made at places during that time period? >> we have filled in the blanks. i can't necessarily say that the motives behind every piece of information we know we'll be able to explain, but this is going to open people's eyes in a big way. the reality is, i'll give you this preview, the president didn't do much but gleefully watch television. i know what i felt like as a u.s. congressman. if i was a president sworn to defend the constitution, that includes the legislative branch watching this on television, i know i would have been going ballistic to try to sach ve the capitol. >> the president didn't do anything? >> he didn't do anything. if the americans watch this, watch this with an open mind. is this the kind of strong

leader you really think you deserve? >> the chairman of the committee, bennie thompson, has said you all are still discussing whether to go ahead and try to force a conversation with the former vice president, mike pence. his former chief of staff marc short said on this very low likelihood of that ever happening. do you personally want to subpoena mike pence? >> look, i personally want to talk to mike pence. i think there's a difference between do we subpoena him, do we ask him for a transcribed interview. i think it would be important to hear anything he's said. i'm not sure we'll get a ton out of him outside of what the staff told us. the big question is is there benefit in talking to donald trump and requesting he come in? that's something we're negotiating back and forth and whether we want to do that. >> what is the value in speaking directly to the former president and the vice president when the former vice president's chief of staff and his, you know, legal

adviser have testified to you? why do you need him physically there? what would the president's testimony do? >> yeah, i'm not sure we do need them physically there because, again, we're getting a lot of information. i think you'll see after thursday's hearing, we know a lot. look, donald trump has made it clear that he doesn't mind not telling the truth. let's put that mildly. he lies all the time. i wouldn't put it past him to lie under oath. i'm not sure what the value is. i think the thing to keep in mind is, this investigation is not winding down. we may be towards the end of this tranche of hearings, we may have more hearings in the future and the investigation is still ongoing. we're getting to the bottom of what we need to know. >> tranche of hearings. what does that mean? how many more do you have? >> this is the eighth hearing. this is the end in this grouping. i fully expect when the report comes out we may have a hearing or two around that, but of course as you saw with cassidy

hutchinson, if we get information the american people may need to know, we mabrey up more hearings at that time too. >> i want to ask you about the former overstock ceo patrick byrne. he said there is so much interest because it all comes down to the crux of history comes down to it. then his lawyer said, stop talking. what is the crux of history? >> it's hard to get in the mind of somebody like patrick byrne? it seems patrick believes there's a deep state conspiracy or at least have the deep state way of the government. i don't know what would have come next in his mind but i can tell you his -- he seems a

little unmorphed in reality and public policy. >> mother jones published text from steve bannon about the former president's plan to declare victory. let's listen to what he said? >> what trump's going to do is declare victory. that doesn't mean he's the winner. he's going to say he's the winner. he's going to declare himself the winner. when you wake up wednesday morning, it is going to be a firestorm. >> what does that indicate to you? steve back nonspeaks sometimes in hyperbolic terms. does that indicate to you there was a level of planning going back that far? >> oh, yeah. look. if you look at the president's statements even months prior to the election he started saying, if we lose, it's because it's going to be stole. there was -- i think it was chris stirewalt came in and talked about that idea, the red

mirage. early in the night it will look like republicans are winning and later it will be the obvious result. i think democrats were ahead in ohio significantly at the beginning of the night. steve bannon is an agent of chaos. steve bannon in his own words believes you have to basically burn the system down to rebuild it and fix it. what he's saying right there is very clearly him saying, no matter what we're declaring victory, and that is a violation of everything we have to hold dear in the constitution. the only thing we need for democracy to survive is the knowledge that you can vote, that that vote counts and we have lived within winner or loser. if half the country believes that wasn't accurate, you can't expect democracy to survive. she's challenging a subpoena by a grand jury. thy want to ask him questions about this call he placed to the secretary of state there around the election. graham said he's done nothing

wrong. is there a reason the january 6th committee has not spoken to him? are there questions you have for him? >> well, look, the question of is there reasons? well, i mean, first off, we have a lot of information in terms of what happened in georgia. that's a piece of our investigation. we have the whole broader thing of what led to january 6th, in terms of him, no, i haven't talked to lindsey graham personally. that's his decision. i'm not sure if his issues of speech and debate, he claims the protection, he was acting in his position as a senator, i'm not sure if that would apply to if you're trying to change the election outcome. i'm not the lawyer, but it would seem difficult. >> thank you for coming in. we'll be watching on thursday. cbs news will cover that on 8

p.m. thursday night on our broadcast and streaming networks "face the nation." we'll be back in one minute so stay with us. what if you were a global bank who wanted to supercharge your audit system? so you tap ibm to un-silo your data. and start crunching a year's worth of transactions against thousands of compliance controls with the help of ai. now you're making smarter decisions faster. operating costs are lower. and everyone from your auditors to your bankers feels like a million bucks. let's create smarter ways of putting your data to work.

ibm. let's create there are now more than 1800 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the united states. states and cities where infections are spiking are demanding more vaccines from the biden administration. joining us is dr. scott gottleib who's also a board member at pfizer. good to have you here. >> good to see you. >> give us a sense of the scale of this? the cdc numbers are out they say there's only eight women, no children. you're saying this is a pa pandemic. that's not a word the administration is using. what level of emergency are we at? >> i think they're going to be reluctant to use the word pandemic. we're now at the cusp of this becoming an endemic virus. i think the window for getting control and containing it has

closed. if it hasn't closed, it's starting to close. 11,000 cases across the world, 1800 cases in the u.s. we're probably detecting just a fraction of the actual cases because we had for a long time a very narrow case definition and by and large we're looking in a community of men who have sex with men and at std clinics. we're looking there, finding cases there but it's a fact there's cases outside that community right now. we're not picking them up because we're not looking there. this has spread. i wouldn't be surprised there's thousand of cases now. >> it's chilling to hear you say containment has failed. i've heard you say that with covid. >> this isn't going to spread like covid. we made a lot of the same mistakes we made with covid with this. having a narrow case definition, not enough testing early enough, not providing vaccine in an aggressive fashion.

now this is firmly embedded in the community. while it's not going to explode because it's harder for the virus to spread, it will be persistent. you'll have this as a fact of life maybe spreading as a sexually transmitted disease but also breaking out of the settings. >> the cdc said monkeypox can show up three weeks post exposure. what are the basic signs? >> it's a rash associated with fever and achiness. you used to get a disseminated rash. people aren't presenting with a widely diffuse rash. it's being confused with visicularrashes. anyone who presents with a visicular rash, a rash that causes vesicles should be tested for monkeypox. that's the way we're going to snuff this out.

now cdc has gotten in place more testing, adequate testing to broaden it to do that. >> problem with testing, also it seems that distribution or access to a vaccine is an issue. the mayor of new york, governor of new york asking the biden administration to do more to get them access y. is this a problem? >> we have inadequate vaccines. we took our eye off the ball of small position. they ordered about 300,000 doses that have been delivered. 150,000 have been distributed. another 130,000 -- >> what about overseas? >> there's 800,000 doses that were overseas that the manufacturer bavarian in order dick had overseas. fda has to do lock release. they have to inspect the doses to make sure they were appropriately manufactured.

they're doing the same point as they're deploying the 800,000 doses. those are going to cities. as soon as fda finishes that, which should be this week, those doses can be distributed or used on patients. i think the vaccine situation is going to improve dramatically. you'll see hundreds of thousands of doses available. the white house has intervened to take control of the response away from the cdc. this can't be our response. when the cdc drops the ball, the white house steps in. we need to fundamentally reform how we respond to these crises. >> you wrote a book on that. i want to ask you about covid. 54% of americans live in an area of high covid community spread. that's up from 31% the prior week. that seems fast moving. what is different about these variants now? >> well, look, it's the b. 5 variant that's growing.

it does seem to be the b. 2 infection confers more robust immunity against b. 5. northeast will be more protected. there's over 100,000 cases on average being reported on a daily basis. we're probably detecting one in ten. it's probably more like a million. i think most americans have started to accept this as part of the fabric of daily living. it's based on the fact that people feel more impervious to a bad outcome. this is a backdrop of normal living. >> the white house is saying put a mask on if you go into indoor gatherings. the city of los angeles says they might institute this. >> i don't think we're going to see mandates. there isn't a lot of -- >> is it advisable? >> if you're going into a congregate setting with a lot of people you don't know is

prudent. especially if you're someone at risk. i still wear a mask in certain settings. i wear it through the airport. if i catch covid i want it to be from family or friend. i try to be prudent when i'm in mixed company. it's advisable especially if you are vulnerable. >> a booster shot, will we have a rebooted bivalent vaccine in the fall? >> there will be a vaccine based on b. 4 that they are manufacting now. there is a bivalent on the shelf. that would be more protective. they've made a decision so far not to deploy that but to wait for the b. 4 variant. if you are above the age of 50 and you haven't had a dose of vaccine, you probably should get one. sequencing is good. get a dose now. >> dr. gottleib, good to have you back in person. wish we had better news but it's

nice to see you. we'll be back with a lot more "face the nation" so stay with us.

in uvalde, texas, the community awaits an investigation done by the house into the massacre at robb elementary school. more than an hour of video school security cameras will be shown to families along with that report. cbs news correspondent lillia has the story. >> reporter: for too many parents, it's too late. answers will not bring their children back, but they hope this investigation will pave the way for some level of accountability and will prevent at least a delayed response like this one from happening in the future. one of the big questions we're seeking to answer is why did officers wait more than 70 minutes to stop the shooter when the training for every one of the seven agencies represented

in those hallways tells them you stop an active shooter immediately. why did they wait? even if the gunman continued to shoot. they had shields, rifles, breaching tools. why was the state's governor, republican greg abbott, given incorrect information about the shooting response in the immediate aftermath. >> how do you feel about that now that you've seen the video? >> well, just as angry because it's clear na what was shown on the video was the exact opposite of the information that i was given on the day that i went out and explained what happened. >> reporter: the committee interviewed nearly 40 people, at least 20 from law enforcement. among the questions that we need answers to is why did officers think that this was a barricaded subject. why did they wait when we know from previous police reports there were discussions among officers about children being inside the classroom, about possible injured people inside and we also know that early on in the time line officers were talking to dispatch so who was

getting the 911 calls from children like these who was calling from inside the room nearly 50 minutes before that door was breached? this is not the only investigation. there are at least four others, including one by the texas rangers and a federal one by the department of justice tha so-called critical incident review seeks to inform future policy, training and apply lessons learned for other police agencies across the agency. >> we'll be right back. thank you. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. announcer: ozempic® provides powerful a1c reduction. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds.

welcome back to "face the nation." as president biden met with middle eastern leaders last week he was accompanied by a special presidential coordinator for energy affairs. welcome to "face the nation." good to have you here in person. >> great to be here in person. >> you were one of the few u.s. officials in the room when president biden met with saudi leaders. why was this trip worth the political risk? what did you get? >> i think this was a historic trip first started landing saturday on the first ever flight for a president to fly from israel directly to saudi arabia with the backdrop opening the announcement they'll be in the skies for the first time for

israeli aircraft, all aircraft over the air space. comes on the backdrop of a major achievement over the last few months. cease-fire in yemen where a thousand people have been killed over the last seven years. this has been the longest cease-fire we've had with a commitment from saudi arabia to work to extend the cease-fire even further. major announcements for food security and achieving contributions from the gcc, gulf countries. >> none on oil yet? >> well, we had major announcements on cooperation on energy at large. if you recall, just before the president announced his trip, opec plus had a major shift in the policies recognizing that since putin started amassing forces, the markets have been affected and there was a supply/demand issue and announced increases in supply for 50% for july and august. >> right. >> based on what we heard on the

trip, i'm pretty confident we'll see a few more steps in the coming week. >> opec plus meets august 3rd. saudi has some very little spare capacity. so are you saying you got a wink and a nod that they're going to pump more? >> first of all, it's not just about saudi. we met with the gcc and with saudi arabia. i'm not going into how much spare capacity there is in saudi arabia and uae but there is additional spare capacity and increased production. as we told producers in the united states, we had conversations over the last several months and weeks with opec and i believe there is still more room to see additional steps. >> saudi says it has like a million spare barrel capacity. >> it's not just about saudi. this is opec so there are a lot of other companies as well. we need to see a little bit more. let's see what's happened.

oil prices are down 120. today oil prices are down 100, 101. >> some due to china and concerns here about consumption going down. >> there's no doubt, there's never one reason why oil prices go up or go down. when they go up they tend to say there's only one reason, the political leadership. if you think about it this week, over the past few months the president has supplied the u.s. market with a million barrels a day. >> from the strategic -- >> right. we've never done that. . that ends in september. >> that ends towards the end of the year? >> will it? can you afford to stop putting emergency supply on the market? >> look what's happened. the private sector said they can increase production in the united states by a million barrels a day. it will come at the end of the year. we stepped in, the president stepped in and said, i'll fill

that gap. my expectation is the private sector in the u.s. will have those increases coming so we don't need to have the emergency from the u.s. government. in the meantime, we've seen the prices -- both the oil prices and the price at the pump has come down at the fastest rate we've seen. from over $5. >> still pretty high. $5, still pretty high. >> it's not $5. it's now $4.55 and i expect it to come down to $4 and we have many below $4. we're -- this is the fastest decline rate that we've seen against a major increase of oil prices during a war in europe where one of the parties in the war is the third largest producer in the world. so these are extraordinary circumstances. we've taken very tough measure. >> we'll watch to see if the oil

prices continue to fall. i want to watch what the administration is saying about putting a cap on the russian oil being sold. not cutting back on the amount but the windfall profits putin can profit off of it. what's to stop vladimir putin from saying, fine, i'm going to stop pumping? >> the price cap -- >> doesn't that ruin your plan if he does that? >> he could do that tomorrow regardless what have we do on the price gap. putin has been an unreliable supplier. i think what we're doing is designing the mechanism and there is nothing else in russia. >> jpmorgan says he has enough cash that he could cut 5 million barrels in the extreme example oil will go up over $300 a barrel. >> well, what we want to be able

to do is mitigate where the price of oil isn't going to impact russia. all they have is to get back prices no more than that. we believe that is the way to do it. prices go up, he still won't get that. >> buy into that yet? why would india or china comply? >> well, first, at the g7, they endorsed the idea as a good idea. we're now starting to have the conversations with the major consumers. i would ask the question the other way around, doesn't every buyer try to get a lower price? i think every buyer is incentivized to go lor. regardless of what you see, these headlines of them getting a map between selling -- >> he's still taking in money and funding the war. >> that's what we're trying to stop. >> right.

in the meantime i want to ask it quickly about the president's climate change efforts. this is completely stalled right now. the president said he's going to take executive action. what is the plan? what are you going to do in the united states? >> i think we've tried to tweet a plan where we can incentive advise great incentives for -- >> you can't block new oil and gas drilling, right? you can't do some of those things because they would counter your efforts. >> what we want to do, we are hopeful, that's what congress does, is to give it the kind of incentive assurance that is we can have additional american investment in climate, renewable energy, electric vehicles. why wouldn't we want to do that? why would we want to create an environment in which china is ahead of us? we want to put the kind of incentives for solar, for wind and for electric vehicles and

for our nuclear fleet in this country. that's how we get to climate. we didn't get that today. the president is determined to take out of it. again, i think the responsibility here is to be able to invest into our future. whether we like it or not, some don't like it. this is the future of energy markets in the united states and around the world. we've got to decide, do we want the u.s. to lead or do we want the chinese to lead this. >> you have to convince senator joe manchin. we'll be talking ahead in the segment. thank you for coming in. we'll be right back. the bar in the handle removes unseen dirt and debris ahead of the blades, for effortless shaving in one efficient stroke.

high, as you know. up 9.1% over the past 12 months. shelter, food, gas, all the things the fed can't really control. they're hurting people. are we at the peak yet? >> margaret, i don't know. oil prices have been coming down. gasoline prices have been coming down so that headline number, that's the one that americans really feel could be coming down. report out e ihis last all of the volatile things, the underlying floor was actually strengthening. we might see the 12-month numbers rising in the months to come. >> ouch. you know, looking at forward planning. bank of america is now predicting mild recession in the second half of the year. jpmorgan says the risk of recession is uncomfortably high. citigroup ceo says she sees nothing in the data to indicate

we are on the cusp of recession. this is the big money bet. what's your bet? where are we on the possibility of recession? >> look, i'm not that much more worried than i am normally -- >> what does that mean. >> -- but i don't have confidence in part because of the economic signals. in the first half it looked like gdp fell but jobs grew quite a lot. you have business leaders worrying we're going into recession. you have consumers saying they're negative about the economy. they're still spending money. it's marred to square a lot of these contradictory signals. >> it's possible. it's not clear. it's more likely than it normally is. the risks are much greater than they normally are. the idea that this is a foregone

conclusion, even 50% chance, i don't see that. i'm looking for a cloudy rear-view mirror trying to get to what's going to happen ahead of us. >> fair. >> i want to ask you about something you've been tweeting quite a lot about, and st e of plan here. there have been these weeks of talks, we just discussed it, over the president's proposals on climate spending, a number of other things, and it collapsed, these negotiations in recent days. you've been tweeting in favor of the democrat's bill which would apparently expand an income tax on individuals making over $400,000. why do you think it's advisable to raise taxes in a period of inflation like that? people like senator manchin say we shouldn't be due to inflation. >> yeah. so, margaret, senator manchin is absolutely right to be more worried about inflation after the friday report. that means we're going to need

to do more. the fed will telegraph larger rate increases in the future. it mnsgress should do their part in helping out. if they can cut the deficit, including raising taxes on high income households, that would reduce a bit of spending in the economy. it would cool the economy down a little bit and actually take some pressure off the fed. the if he had would n-- the fed would not have to raise rates quite as much. everyone should be helping out. >> what's interesting, when you were on this program back in may, you said one of the reasons the u.s. has incredibly high inflation was the emergency spending president biden signed into effect back in march of 2021, and it was spending like that that senator manchin points to and says, see, this is why we need to do this. why was he right in the past and wrong now to be concerned about

spending? >> yeah. the difference is that we're talking about something exceedingly different now than then. that was $1.9 trillion of new spending. now on the table is something like $500 billion of deficit reduction. it was a net reduction in the deficit. i think almost anyone, regardless would agree and lower it. i don't like lowering inflation. un unambiguously, it's going to bring it down and the inflation we'll get if 12 million people get cut off their subsidies. >> president biden said he would endorse the slipped down version of the bill that would -- that

senator manchin is endorsing that would lower health care premiums and prescription drug costs. he said that slipped down version is just not meaningful? >> look, i think that slipped down version helps. it would lower inflation both because of the overall deficit reduction and then very directly by sloug r slowing it down. if that's the best you can get, i don't know enough to judge, that bill would be a very good thing to do. even in that bill, there are some open questions, at least in my mind. if you are not going to raise taxes, how about enforcing the tax code we already have? $600 million goes uncollected every year? audits of millionaires are down 70%. if you fund the irs, you can collect a lot more taxes without raising tax rates on anyone. >> very quickly, will it add for

inflation if all of these states hand out checks to off set inflation? >> absolutely. every spun one of them is raising it. collectively we'll be worse off because of it. >> jason furman, thank you for 'll be back in a moment.

one of the more startling numbers from the cpi last week was the soaring rent. here in the nation's capitol average home rental costs have jumped more than 11% in the last year. the national rate is nearly 6%. washington, d.c., mayor muriel bowser has made the push for affordable housing as part of her agenda. good morning, mayor. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> i want to ask you. "the new york times" had this piece on the housing crisis and homelessness in america and it highlighted dc as one of the cities that has persistently not had enough housing to meet demand. you've been working on reducing

homelessness. is the prime issue supply? >> well, we've been working on creating affordable housing and reducing more and preserving more, and we are among the jurisdictions, i would say, that lead the nation in being a local partner in production. so just in the last seven years we've invested more than $1.4 billion in doing exactly that. we're equally invested in making homelessness rather, brief. we have seen our rates of family homelessness decrease by 78%. chronic homelessness also. we're attacking that and driving those numbers down for most categories. so what we see is in a city like ours where people want to live and want to work, that we always have to be producing more housing. >> so i'm wondering then in an

environment where we are now where interest rates are going up, is that discouraging builders to produce more than what you need? do you need the federal government to provide support? >> we certainly are going to be able to do less with the very historic investments that we've made. so we're concerned about that. what i know that we're doing everything locally that we can. we have a tool called the housing production trust fund. this year alone we'll invest more than $450 million in new units. we've set a goal of building more than 46,000 new units. we're always looking for the fed federal government to be a partner. in coming out of this pandemic and everything the federal government was able to do to keep people housed with the american rescue plan dollars, with making sure that we're preventing evictions and keep people from getting evicted has

been very helpful. >> the washington post reported last week that homeless shelters in d.c. were filling up and groups are getting overwhelmed by these buses that the governors of texas and arizona are sending here full of migrants. how significant is this influx? how many people? >> well, this is a very significant issue. we have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. we think they're largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not washington, d.c. i worked with the white house to make sure that fema provided a grant that is providing services to folks. i feel they're being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are

places all over the united states of america. >> it's not just local taxpayers picking up the tab. you're saying federal government is helping? >> they should not pick up the tab. we need a coordinated federal response. we know that it's done for refugees and the same has to be done in the situation. >> i also want to ask you about monkey pox. 108 million infections in the district. is the outbreak more significant than that? and are you prepared for the spike when it comes to available vaccine? your democratic colleague in new york city says he needs more vaccine. >> we need more vaccine. we've gotten just over 8 million doses. we estimate we need 100,000 doses to address the current target population. we need more doses for sure and we know that that work is being

done. we already have a very robust testing regime and we've mottled it on what we've been able to do with covid and we're going to continue to test. i think because of that robust testing we're going to see more cases. we want people to protect themselves. >> have you been able to find the doses? >> no. we work with the health department. as the vaccine is available, we'll be ready to distribute it. >> you have a big portfolio here in the nation's capitol. >> indeed. >> i want to ask you about the risk of political violence. homeland security has warned the entire country should essentially be prepared for more political violence. how are you planning for it here in d.c.? >> well, we as the nation's capitol, we're always kind of on high alert.

we've seen that -- >> supreme court justices, january 6th. >> january 6th, the events surrounding the murder of george floyd, all, but we also see -- we see demonstrations on first amendment protests throughout the year. you don't hear about it but our police are out there making sure people can peacefully protest and keep our cities, homeland security, federal agencies, all of those in d.c., but our metropolitan police department is there to support them in many cases, lead in others. >> mayor bowser, thank you for your time and coming in. >> thank you. my pleasure. we will be right back with more "face the nation."
