>> good morning. thanks for having me here. that it's the ba.5 variant that likely infected the president. that's the dominant variant across the country right now. it's highly transmissable. how is the president's health and do you know where he got it? >> yeah, so it is the ba.5, which is, as you said, 80% of infections. the president is doing well. i can checked in with the team late last night. he was feeling well. he had a good day yesterday. he has a viral syndrome, upper respiratory infection, that is -- and he is doing just fine. >> there is so little known about long covid, but given the president's age, do you expect that the white house will continue to make disclosures if he has long-term symptoms from this infection? >> absolutely. we think it's really important for the american people to know how well their president is doing, which is why we have been so transparent, giving updates several times a day, having people hear from me directly,

from his physician. and, obviously, if he has persistent symptoms, obviously, if any of them interfere with his ability to carry out his duties, we will disclose that early and often with the american people. >> about six oanding the cdc, oenix, i.are nnditie like >> in eas of high transmission, i think it's prudent for people to be wearing masks indoors,ia ventilated spaces. wh that's what the cdc recommends. >> i want to talk about monkeypox. the world health organization yesterday declared it a public health emergency of international concern. that's the highest level of alert. the biden administration, hhs, stopped short of doing that. should you declare it a pandemic? should you declare it a public health emergency? >> we are seeing out of bounds that are out of control in many,

many parts of the world. it's very important to get our arms around this thing. >> what about here? >> in the u.s. we are looking at public health emergency as something that hhs might deliver, might invoke. it really depends what does that allow us to do. we have over 2,000 cases but we have ramped up vaccinations, ramped up treatments, ramped up testing and with we will continue to look at policy options. >> you said back in may that you think we can get our arms around this. you said monkeypox is a virus that we understand. are you saying today, just like then, you think monkeypox can be contained? >> i do think monkeypox can be straforward segy on . we ctainl widely available. we have done that. now testing is far more frequent and common. >> it was slow. >> we have the capacity to do

90,000 e tests a week. sorry, 80,000 tests a week. tat's an extraordinary number. we will be releases hundreds of thousands of more vaccines in the next days and weeks. so there is a very substantial ramping up of response that is happening now. >> but i ask you about containment because you could have shifted allocation earlier. surged it differently. sooner switching from at risk individuals to areas where there are active, high case counts and an outbreak. the cdc director said a few days ago her agency has no data on who has been vaccinated. she said there is one key important similarity with covid and with monkeypox, and that is the cdc's inability to see data in real time. so this seems to be still an issue for our health agencies to act quickly to contain an outbreak. this is a problem. >> yeah. so what i would remind us is that public health in america

has always been led by states. it is important for states to be sharing data with cdc. we have been working with states across the country, lots of states have been forthcoming and my expectations, we will get more and more data from states to help us understand the national picture a bit more, in a bit more detail. we have a pretty good feel now for how widespread monkeypox is. about 2,000 or so cases across the country. >> a fellow democratic, congressman adam schiff, who will be on the program today, sent a letter to hhs saying the federal government is falling short of the response that is needed. skyrocketing cases, limited vaccinati vaccination supply suggests that it will continue to spread for years to come if not indefinitely. is monkeypox now endemic? will it continue to spread indefinitely? >> well, it is endemic in certain parts of the world. >> i am asking about here. >> the plan here is very straightforward. the plan is to eliminate this

virus from the united states. i think we can to that. we have the vaccines. >> there are two children with it that the cdc knows of at least, and the cdc said both of these children are traced back to individuals who come from the men who have sex with men community. how actively is this being spread and are you still only talking about the gay community because you are only looking there? >> yeah. so we, obviously, know that this virus is spreading largely in the gay community among men who have sex with men. but, obviously, there are other people who are at risk as well, people they interact with. anybody who has monkeypox can spread it to others. it is through skin-to-skin contact, direct and prolonged contact. we are doing a broad surveillance. this is why we have ramped up testing capacity, we're encou encouraging physicians to do more broad scale testing. >> one other issue right now, we heard in the state of new york

the first case of polio in nearly a decade was confirmed in an unvack. he was hospitalized back in june. are there other cases, and if he was infected in june, why are we only now hearing about it? >> this is a place where the cdc is working with the department of health. it is an unvaccinated individual. thankfully, most americans are vaccinated against polio. most of the world is vaccinated against polio. if, obviously, you are not vaccinated against polio, critically important. >> i have a small child. it takes time to get fully vaccinated. should i be concerned that there are polio cases spreading in new york and in the united states? >> there is a lot of surveillance that we to for polio. wastewater surveillance goes on. we are not seeing out of bbreak polio. again, so many americans are vaccinated against this.

>> dr. jha, thank you for your time. "face the nation" will be back in a moment. stay with us. th magic eraser and photograph all skin tones accurately with real tone google pixel 6a switch it up, and get the all new google pixel 6a. all for a smarter price. i get bladder leaks. i didn't want to feel like i was wearing the pads i wore when i was twelve. then i tried the always discreet pads. they fit perfectly in the places they're supposed to. look how much it holds, and it still stays thin! it's the protection we deserve! covid-19 moves fast, and now you can too by asking your healthcare provider if an oral treatment is right for you. oral treatments can be taken at home and must be taken within 5 days from when symptoms first appear. if you have symptoms of covid-19, even if they're mild don't wait, get tested quickly. if you test positive and are at high risk for severe disease, act fast ask if an oral treatment is right for you. covid-19 moves fast and now you can too. investigation and the latest

findings from the house select committee investigating the attack on the capitol. thursday, the committee detailed hours of inaction by president trump during the assault as he sat in his dining room watched the violence unfold op television and chose to do nothing to stop the siege of congress despite pleas by advisors, republican lawmakers and allies. >> commander in chief, you got an assault going on on the capitol of the united states of america. there is nothing. no call, nothing, zero. >> we learned that secret service agents protecting vice president mike pence feared for their lives. >> there were calls to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth. we thought this was about to get very ugly. >> we saw for the first time top congressional leaders working

with the acting secretary of defense to get back to certifying the electoral votes. >> the earliest we can safely resume? >> my assessment, i would say best case we're looking at four to five hours. >> the hearings have featured a wide range of witnesses but the through line of nearly all the testimony has been former president trump and his relentless efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election. committee members say the investigation is far from over with more hearings planned for september. joining us now a member of that panel, congressman adam schiff of california, who is also the chair of the house intelligence committee. good to have you here with us. >> thank you. >> before i go further on january 6th, i want to quickly button up what dr. jha addressed in regard to that letter you wrote this week in regard to monkeypox. you said the federal response falls shortynd

li vac. thurrenton sident somipment are not expected to 2023. why do you think the federal response is failing when dr. jha says it's contained and under control? >> i don't know why there aren't more vaccines available. i am hearing from health care providers in my district that there are people lining up to get vaccinated and they don't have the vaccines for them. and that is a real problem. we don't know the future course of this virus, but what we do now early on, just as was the case with the pandemic, will determine just how bad this may get. and so i want to light a fire under the administration and get them to up production, up distribution, and people that are ready and willing and able to get vaccinated have the ability to protect themselves. >> we'll continue tracking that on this program. let me get back to january 6th.

when you were last on this programel that it would be more dangerous for the justice department to decide against prosecuting the former president than it would be to go ahead with the prosecution. here's how attorney general merrick garland responded when my colleague jeff pegues asked him about potential prosecution. >> no person is above the law in this country. nothing stops us. >> even a former president? >> i don't know how to -- i will say that again. no person is above the law in this country. >> what do you make of those remarks? >> well, the attorney general who is committed to follow the evidence wherever it may lead, and it has led to donald trump. and so i think the president should be investigated. whether they will ultimately conclude, they have prove beyond a reasonable doubt to charge him and convict him, that will be up to the department. but what we have demonstrated just in the last couple of hearings is that when all else

failed, when the other lines of effort to overturn the election failed, he made the decisions to bring a mob to the capitol when he learned they were armed, his response was then take the megnetometers down. he wanted to march with that mob, that dangerous mob to the capitol. who he was refused and brought to the safety of the dining room of the white house he wouldn't lift a finger as he watched on tv police officers being beaten and gouged and sprayed with chemicals in the most supreme dereliction of duty ever. also those multiple lines of effort invoke various criminal laws and his conduct ought to be the subject of an investigation. we will see if the justice department starts one. on the things that the committee has laid out in this congressional forum, we still haven't seen a direct link substantiated between the white house officials and the

militias, like the proud boys and oath keepers who were part of the violence that day. are you still trying to substantiate that? >> that remains a part of the investigation. we have shown some links between the president key advisors like roger stone and mike flynn and elements of these white nationalist groups. but that component of our investigation continues and, as is the case more broadly, witnesses continue to come forward. we will benhe fall. but as we continue to ask about additional evidence, i think we need to think about what we have demonstrated already about the president's knowledge that the ele wasn't stolen and his response and intent and to me that is most graphically demonstrated when he told top justice department officials basically to say, just say the election was stolen or corrupt and that he would take care of the rest. those kinds of pieces of

testimony, they are directly in the president's knowledge an intent, and this gets back to the previous question about the justice department. i hope they are watching carefully and i hope they understand the implications of what we're presenting. >> when it comes to implications, your colleague, liz cheney, was on two other networks this morning. she said you all are discussing a potential subpoena for begin any thomas who is compared to supreme court justice jacksonis clarence thomas. one the objections to the premise of a subpoena here is that it sets a dangerous precedent by putting the spouse of a justice in this political forum. >> there arossed buts invol sit court justices not presiding or appearing or taking action in cases in which their spouse may

be implicated. in this case, for clarence thomas to issue a decision in a case, a dissent in a case where congress is trying to get documents and those documents might involve his own wife, that's the line that has been crossed. and i think for agrees to be looking into these issues, looking into conflict of interest issues, but here looking into issues whether it involves the wife of a supreme court justice or anyone else, if they have information or a role to overturn an election, yes, they are not excluded from examination. >> sounds like you are saying you favor that subpoena? >> well, if she has relevant information to our investigation, we hope she comes in voluntarily. but if she doesn't, we should give that serious consideration and, yes, i think those that we decide have important enough information should be subpoenaed. >> liz cheney says the committee expects to hear from tony

ornado, that lead secret service agent, and he and another have hired private criminal defense counsel. what does that suggest to you? >> well, you know, i think if they are hiring criminal defense counsel, then they probably have a concern about their potential criminal liability. we want to hear from these witnesses. some we want to hear from again. we want to put them under oath if they weren't previously under oath so we can understand what was happening on january 5th and january 6th. and we have profound concerns about what's going on at the secret service. we are now for the first time getting documents that we had requested long, long ago. there is one issue about why they weren't provided earlier. they are also showing new things. and furthermore, we want to obtain those text messages if there is any way to retrieve. we want answers to why those were destroyed. >> all right. we will continue to watch what

the committee does when you reconvene in the fall. thank you very much, congressman. and for a closer look at wh revu e former president, we are joined by cbs news chief political analyst john dickerson. john, it's good to talk to you. we were side by side just on thursday night during these primetime broadcasts of the hearings. 17 million americans watched them. but this is a political process before congress. it's not a legal one, as we just discussed. how do we start to assess the impact? >> it's good to be with you, margaret. i think the impact of this thursday's hearing was different than the other hearings. when donald trump sometimes boasted about refusing to act as president, the consequences seemed far off. what thursday showed was that most the most direct connection between donald trump choosing not to act as president and the dire consequences of doing so. so as americans watched january

6th most were heartsick. they wished something could be done. what could be done? donald trump watched also and he could do something. it was his duty as president to preserve, protect and defend. he did nothing. his family called him and said because of your special connection to the rioters flying your flag, you should do something. he did nothing. so for three hours while he watched what everybody else was watching, he did not respond. and that is the most clear representation of his refusal to do the job and actually doing the job. what was amazing about thursday was not the specific testimony, which was amazing, but that no one can testify that he took actions consistent with his job. not the witnesses who talked about what he didn't do, but that no one can bear witness to him doing the job as commander in chief. >> right. and that was, that inaction was something congressman kinzinger put his finger on. and he was on another network this morning saying that when it comes to the hearings for republicans in general, this doesn't appear to be having a ton of impact.

and i thought that was interesting because when you open "the wall street journal" editorial page, the "new york post," it drew a lot of attention that they were unusually harsh in their criticism of the former president in the past few days. the journal wrote, characters revealed in a crisis, mr. pence passed his january 6th trial. mr. trump utterly failed his. how do we assess where the conservative movement is on this? >> well, we'll have to see donald trump's reputation is in flux. when we think about the republican party, it's got kind of two challenges. there are a lot of tensions in an election year. two challenges and one thing going well. for donald trump, the challenge is he has been judged by the leaders of his party. mitch mcconnell in the senate, kevin mccarthy in the house, mike pence, as having failed in a fundamental duty of a job.

how does a party go forward when most popular leader failed at a core job in a democracy? the other challenge is in the movement of people who look what happened on january 6th and think that the rioters didn't go far enough, who have an apocalyptic sense of politics and think anything goes if you demonize the other side sufficiently. those are problem for the publa which will cause them to push that beach ball under the water, they have a favorable political viechlt with joe biden's weakness and the party out of power does well in the midterms. all of those things will encourage republicans to leave their problems to the side for the hopes of winning power back. >> what do you think this legacy of trumpism is? does it blow up the system? >> well, the legacy as it's come through these hearings, let's think about what the hearings have lifted and what it means. it kind of goes beyond donald

trump. it goes to the two challenges in a democracy. one of the things is that people who were challenged and under pressure of the trump administration and donald trump, they did the right thing under pressure. and we've seep that for weeks. the other challenge, though, is the people who knew better and didn't act. which of these two wins out? >> john dickerson, always good to chat with you. we'll be right back in a moment with more "face the nation." stay with us. ents is different than other money managers.
