better together now than they did in the last four or five years. >>. >> that does it for us today. we'll see you back here on monday morning, have a great weekend, stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >> hi there, i'm stephanie ruhle and we start this morning with breaking news from the u.k. right now at this very moment president biden leaving for the g 7. he and the first lady will be greeted by the british prime minister who is hosting the summit and met with president biden yesterday. so much going on. i want to bring in the chief white house correspondent. and host of "washington week.

. and i want to bring in chris hill who has been in these for years and years. walk us through the day ahead. >> yeah, so things get started in a matter of minutes from now with the family photo. the 7 leaders join together for a frap on that beautiful sight here. later in the hour they will begin some of the more serious sessions as they focus on policy matters that include climate change and coronavirus. they will be buying and giving away a billion doses, and it is a complex core jog if i and the sequencing of events here that is significant as a backdrop to what we will witness next week. a chance for the allies lead by

president biden, he hopes to come together on one message on shared policies and principals. a new multilateralism in the post trump era. later this evening there is a little pageantry already. we have seen jill biden and the duchess of cambridge. they visited a classroom of four and five-year-olds there. they also fed carrots to some of the pet bunnies. kate middleton also delivering her best wishes to baby lilibet. the real highlight was the prince bringing out the star, part of the embrace of the world leaders with queen elizabeth and other family members joining leaders here in cornwall for a reception. >> we have not seen what we

might consider a normal summit in awhile. why do we need a normal one? >> i think we need a little bit of love. the last four years have been tough. a president that has been around the track before. and i think he is probably our most senior diplomat. he knows how to handle the situations. he comes with a daytime that we're back. he does a lot of listening. he is engaging everyone he sees, and i think we can be in for a meeting where they will really try to make sure that everyone is looking forward and working together. and i think the one billion vaccination doses really speak to what they're trying to do. they want to inoculate the world but even inoculaing against

some of the tenseness that we have had. i think the timing is very good. i think for boris johnson it is excellent. here is someone that yanked the bricks out of the european union. and we saw that bilateral yesterday. it went very well i think for everybody. even a recreation of the atlantic charter. so so far so good. >> this is a lot more than just pomp, circumstance, and a show. a billion vaccines, a global corporate tax rate. it seems to have some real substance behind it. >> that's right, and the primary goal coming into this is really to try to make sure that people understand that not only is america back but that multilateralism and the action of the nations acting tlogt be

what pushes the world past the trump era. they say the way for us to reassure our european allies, letting everyone know that america is strong and america is leading again, to really show the action. and then specifically on covid-19 because so many people are still guying all over the world. i will say that this all comes amid the idea that the u.s. was facing pressure by european allies to do more when it comes to giving vaccines. you saw the 500 million doses coming from the united states. i think this really is a it's the u.s. and the g 7 reacting to other nations sayin. the leaders attending this summit represent over 2.2 billion people.

but the two biggest countries out there besides us are not invited. if you want to deal with things like the global economy, global health, climate change, can you do it without china and russia there? >> i don't think you can. >> ambassador? >> i don't think you can without dealing with china and russia. but i think we knead a clear policy toward these countries. and i think we need to leverage our position. i don't think we're able to reshape the environment in which china grows. that is a real test without having a coming to mind with the mainly european democracy. i think it is important to get our statements straight. i think to some extent there needs to be sort of putting you

shalls out on the table. understanding what the u.s. is trying to do. being sufficient on someone works as far as looking but then you have to answer the question and then what? and i think there is concern in europe about how are we going to handle russia? how are we going to work on that? and i think more fundamentally how do we keep a situation where china and russia don't link up. there is a lot of work to be done e and i think it is quite appropriate for the democracies of the world, the seven biggest democracies of the world, to sit down and try to house out how we're going forward. we need to work with others on china and russia. we cannot just do it alone and i think that is a very powerful message that president biden brought to the g 7 summit. >> the message needs to be that it is us versus them.

thank you all so much. we have to take a turn to the other huge story of the morning. the "new york times" reporting that in the early part of the donald trump presidency they were so desperate to find out links, seeds information from members of congress, including adam schiff. >> it is a terrible abuse of power, it separates the powers, and they're a fully owned subsidiary. it does such damage to the department. it's hard to express how shocking an abuse of power this really is. >> congressman shift, senator pelosi, all calling for an

investigation into this. let's bring in pete williams, also with us legal analyst danny sivalis. we know we heard trump for years, my justice department, my judges, but this really happened? >> so we think we know the extent of the justice department's hunt for leaks, particularly about communications between trump administration officials and the russians. so according to the people that knew what happened here, the justice department subpoenaed apple for data for use of cell phones by at least 12 people including congressman schiff, and 10 other members of their families and pa minors.

they were concerned that the justice department was that these people or their staffers were using family members phones. in any event the the suspects were sent to apple in 2018 and there was a gag order on apple that it could not disclose the fact that the subpoenas were sent. apple has been able to find the people. it is known as the meta data. we know it happened, you heard adam schiff talk about it. but we now now that the justice department was seeking records of reporters involved in writing the stories from cnn, the new york times, and the washington post. now in the effort to try to find the leakers, it was looking for leaders from members of congress. >> danny, i'm a mere civilian

and this sounds crazy to me. is it unusual? >> government leaks occupy a gray area in criminal law and in american morality. sometimes we cheer the leaks, sometimes we think they're no good and they are dangerous. but the goj and presidents investigated leaks historically. on the other hand the policy december courages going after reporters records unless it is a last resort. because of that gray area of the law on prosecuting leaks, that's why they have so much potential to be political. and the big questions here are things like were republicans also investigated? what was the investigation for going after a minor. they all tip the scale from

legitimate investigation to political investigation. we do not conduct political investigations if there is no evidence of a true crime. >> do we know if the justice department got information. >> apparently not. the investigation did not shed any light on what they were trying to find out. especially michael flynn and the russians. there is no suggestion that what they did was illegal. they have the authority to issue subpoenas, but the question is was it good policy, was it prudent, or wise if the justice department was being used to punish the president's political enemies.

>> my goodness, the former president may want to look at the phones of his own staff in the last four years. we're digging further into this report. two members of congress will be here to react and weigh in on what needs to be done. plus protests in houston after nearly 200 hospital employees were suspended. are you ready for why? they refused to get vaccinated. we're going to hear about the fight playing out in texas. bam, 12 months of $5 wireless. visible. wireless that gets better with friends. - stand up if you are first generation college student.

a major new development this morning in the fierce frul battle raging in dc. a bipartisan group of ten senators say they have struck a tentative deal. here is what we know. sources tell nrks bc news that the new plan includes 579 in new spending. that would be a total of $1.2 trillion in infrastructure spending. here is the surprise. not really. skepticism from republicans and impatience from democrats. talk to us about what is in this proposal, could lawmakers get behind it? i realize that you have lawmakers that have their dreams, and then you have america that is desperate for fur. >> we know this is a $579

billion frame work. it's substantially up for the most recent leadership offer and it is far lawyer of the initial ask. this is an interesting entry to the conversation. there are five republican senators. could the rest of their parties go along with an agreement like this. leadership has not said how they would approach this. one said it would be a low entry step to a final agreement among democrats. there is agitation about the prospects. specifically clean energy investments to combat climate change. they will not support a deal

that excludes that. the authors of this agreement are also aware that they have a lot of work to do in selling their members. listen to what mitt romney had to say. >> we have reached a tentative understanding and we're not looking for adjustments. we're looking to see if colleagues are open to it. we'll get out a piece of paper that lays it out and see if people sign on and see if it has merit. >> a long way to go here, but a new step, a new entry into this debate, stefanie. thank you, joining us now. co-chairs of the problem solvers caucus. brian fitzpatrick and josh

gardenhimer. the things that are left, can you work with them? >> thank you for having us. as you know we put out a plan, a bipartisan plan with 29 democrats and republicans in my group, backing the proposal that was $1.29 trillion over eight years. we have been working closely with our senate colleagues. so there is a lot in here that i think is exactly what we should be doing. talking about roads, rails, bridges, tunnels, broadband and water. also electric vehicles, there is a lot in here that i think we can work with and affect, stefanie as you know when you want bipartisanship done, you have to work together. it's really, really important to come together and get this done. >> congressman fitzgerald, do

you think something could happen here? is this the last chance for a bipartisan agreement? thank you, stefanie for having us. fitzpatrick, i'm sorry. >> we're all irish, it's good. >> my apologies. >> it's okay, we get that all of the time, don't worry. i think what we just endorsed this past week is pretty big, stephanie. we were the first bipartisan group to come together to put a flag in the sand that gives a scope and a number. and the senate followed shortly there after. we want today lead, it's never easy. the number was probably too high for many republicans, too low for a lot of democrats, but that's the entire point of compromise. we try to get to yes. it is a product of compromise. that is what we have done here.

we are stepping up once again on a controversial issue. >> congressman, let's talk about paying for it. democrats say there is not unused relief money. however it is phenomenal that we have come, it's been a long road on covid, but we're coming out in a big and fast way and lots of states including yours now have big budget surpluses. can we not use some of that money towards infrastructure? that has been the white house saying we could use some of those dollars and i think we should. we have been talking about it for weeks, and i think, you know, that we should not leave anything out of the discussion. what is critically important as we move forward that this is about getting a yes. it's about working together, and it means that sometimes you

don't get everything you want including in the pay fors. i'm hospital mystic that we can get there. i think we're within inches. i think we have to stay at the table, but the bottom line is that we have to. this is a real opportunity for democrats, republicans, agreeing that we have to do something on infrastructure and this focus on physical infrastructure, on this piece of it, just makes sense and i think moves our country forward. >>. >> congressman, there are growing calls for an investigation this morning after the new york times reported -- fitzpatrick, you should just kick me out, they targeted communication records of key democratic lawmakers, a aids, and some family member members. what do you think about this? >> you're talking to the right person, i'm a career fbi agent. one of the things i would

investigate was dislowture of information. so they are investigating section 798 and unauthoritied remoe value on classified information. so the questions on everyone's minds which is a fair question is was that investigation conducted in the bounds of the law. there are two forces. the was a of professional responsibility. both have administrative and criminal jurisdiction and they will often refer those matters outside. so what what they will look at is was this investigation conducted in the bounds of the law. with the prosecutors -- >> congressman? >> yes? >> i need to interrupt you because we have to turn back to the u.k. president biden is now arriving at the first session of the g 7. let's bring peter alexander back, what are we looking at?

>>. >> you can see this gorgeous look here. the johnsons with the biden's. their first o official visit. you see emanuel macron and his wire there. the hope is to rally the leaders.

there are some nuances for the views on that mostly as it relates to angela merkel. an effort to koob rate for them. they will begin this hour. i want to go back to the two congressmen. would you like to weigh in on this investigation? what do you want answered? >> as a former fbi agent, he knows this well and he made several salient points. we have to look at what the facts were and what happened here. there are many concerning things. making sure this is not one branch working against another branch.

if you're pulling records on children and staff, or going after the intelligence committee, i think it merits an investigation. i'm so sorry, here is the good news, i know what josh's last name is, but i can't spell his, maybe that is worse. okay, you need to hear this story, a cruzship with fully vaccinated passengers is now dealing with guess what? multiple positive covid cases. what that means for the return of cruises next and how that of cruises next and how that happened.

family photo. world leaders getting together for their first official photograph. while that is happening here in the united states the cdc is now sounding a new alarm with new evidence showing that vaccines could raise a heart issue with children. and deja vu, a fully vaccinated cruiseship sailed from st. martin and two mass jers still teted positive for covid. honestly i thought i was reading something from "the onion" high pressure how does a cruiseship fielding with passenger who's have all been vaccinated end up with two positives? >> this really caught a lot of people off guard. this is the first ship in our area of the world that has

paying passengers on board. and they are currently isolated in their capen and they tested positive. they're a stopic. they had their vaccines, but they're doing routine testing and it showed their positive. it happened on land and it happened on a kruseship. it is very concerns for passengers that purchased tects. ports like here, the bustiest port in the nation, will be up and running and now there is possible new wrinkles in that process because of this positive test. we're lucky because one of the passengers on board is not only someone that can talk to us about the reaction, but he blogs about it, he is a regular

cruise ship passenger. he is on board to celebrate his son's graduation. let's listen to what he is telling us. >> thankfully the people have their shots. they were asymptomatic. they're not in any discomfort and they're not going to a hospital or on a ventilator which shows the importance of the vaccine how how it can protect people that are traveling. >> so as it required, the contact tracing is even easier to do it on aship. the seven people in the closest proximity are told they were negative and that was shared with the ship. there is a sense of relief. those people that are symptomatic are locked in their capen. we may think we have a licked,

but there there are all types of wrinkles associated with the virus. they're all still trying to figure it out. >> so the one thing you can do, kerry, is get vaccinated. right now want the to take you to the state of illinois, why? they're back in business. now capacity limits and social distancing are out the window, but you do still need to wear a mask if you're not fully vaccinated. let's dig deeper with mayor lightfoot. what a day for you, you have been waiting for this for the entire pandemic. >> happy reopening day, it feels great. we're ready, we're poised. we have the highest vaccinate rate of any majority. we have the lowest all

restrictions as of today. and our community isthey sacrif through a lot, but it's a happy day for chicago. >> your vaccination rate is high, but it's not everyone. how do you keep everyone safe now that they're going back into big crowds and you still have people that have not been vaccinated by choice? >> we're doing a number of things. we're incentivizing people to get vaccines. we're doing music events and give aways, and we're being diligent. we have a whole team looking at the city, and they're going door to door and offering the vaccine. we have seen great uptick from that, but we have to continue to be diligent because coronavirus is still with us, people are still getting sick, and unfortunately people are still dieing. we're not giving up, there is

measuring work to be done, but we're poised because of the vaccine and the great time. >> unfortunately chicago, like too many other places across the country are seeing a real uptick in gun violence. we have to keep pushing the federal government legislation 30% of our gun violence and we're drilling down deep, providing city resources, obviously law enforcement has a role to play, but we're bringing it to schools, parks, social

services, and what we're seeing is poverty, a lack of basic resources, and that is where we have to fix our sites. there is lack of opportunity, lack of jobs, they are top among them. we can go right at the root causes. >> why is it getting worse? we know there is an enormous amount of open jobs in the country. we know between stimulus payments, the rent moratorium, more government support this year than in previous years, but kids in your city are being gunned down at a faster rate than in the past. more than 50 children were shot. ten killed this year including a 15-year-old boy. show it a lack of jobs? >> it is.

you outlined a lot of resources now that there weren't, but we have to make sure that we keep connecting with the people that we need most. the fact of the matter is we have too many people in neighbors that have been me in gekted from far too long. every part of the criminal justice eco system has been dramatically impacted. we have been closed for over a year. we have very dangerous people because our jails have been shut down, out on the street in causing violence into the entire public safety eco system, they have to step up and do their part and until that eco system comes fully back online we'll see challenges. but we're not waiting for

anybody else. we're taking ownership of what we can control and we're stepping up to keep our residents safe. >> you can't control congress, and i know you want to crack down on guns, but do you have any sense of optimism that the government or congress will do anything? >> it's a tricky thing to have optimism for the federal government, but yes because it is a president that gets it. we have a house of congress that are controlled by democrats, it is all tricky, of course, but we have to keep pushing and fighting for what we know is right. because truly as you said, lives depend on it. i can't just say woe is me. i have to fight like hell for the residents of my city and i'm going to do that. >> thank you for joining us this morning. and our audience for that, it's challenging to have optimism when it comes to the federal government in congress.

that is a true and chilling statement. thank you so much. i want to take you now to houston, text. more than 100 staffers at a hospital, staffers filed a lawsuit over their jobs because they're jobs, which would seem totally normal had a covid vaccine mandate. we told you about these nurses that were protests after they were suspended for not getting their shots. now they're willing to risk their jobs over it. >> i took my mask off, threw my shirt on, and here i am. they need to give people choices. >> they're putting us in a corner saying you have to do it or you don't have a job. there's two weeks of no pay, and if you don't comply in two weeks it is termination. >> joining me now is houston methodist president dr. mark boom. do you want people to work for you who are choosing not to get vaccinated? i can tell you i don't want to go to a hospital where health

care workers don't think it's a good idea. >> you know, stephanie, i have heard that from countless patients. there was a letter today about that. patients are saying i want to be in a health care situation where i nome i'm safe. we have an obligation to keep them safe. coronavirus vaccine is even more important. we're proud of our 25,000 employee that's did comply with this, and that did get vaccinated. >> i should remind our audience of that. it is, well, 138 health care workers were not vaccinated and they are suspended. that is less than 1% of your total wfs. can you help us understand what were the rational because when we talk about people not getting

vaccinated we say they don't have access, they don't have education, your employees have both. >> you know, i think it just goes show the amount of strong opinions and ultimately you know sometimes not following the science and frankly flat out misinformation that is out there on the internet about vaccines. you know vaccines are one of the greatest advances of the last century plus. if you look at the beginning of the 1900s people live to be 50. the end of the century they live to their 70s. they are incredibly effective and safe and we took it for granded and we had an organized antivaccine movement that grabbed on to this situation. unfortunately it influenced people even in health care. more importantly across the community there is probably 20% of people strongly hesitant. another 10% that are maybe wait

and see. so here we're talking about two thirds or three quarters of a percent of our employees. so we have seen health care workers step up and do the right thing and i'm so grateful to the 24,000 or 25,000 people that have done that. i'm sorry we will lose these individuals. they have about ten days to change their minds. but at the end of the day they will be better served working somewhere else and we will be 100% safe. >>. >> do you even want them to come back? have they not shown they're unwilling to put science first and patients first? >> we said all along with will be driven by the science. we're science and medically based institution. a faith underpinning. we have a set of strong values in the institution that puts patients at the center. people say i don't want to put patients at the center by their actions they're not a fit for

our organization. but the vast majority of people have and we're very proud of them and you know patients can now look upon this institution and i hope countless institutions to follow and know they are incredibly safe places to be. and that they don't have to worry about a health care worker not having taken all of the possible steps to prevent an unintentional infection that no one wants to have happen. so again we're very proud of what happened. >> and that leads me with two quick questions. do you think this is a problem across the country but other hospitals are not putting the suspensions in place? could it be happening right now and we don't know it? >> someone like me, i assume when i walk in that everyone has been vaccinated. should i not assume that? >> you should not, and if you look nationally most institutions depending on the part of the country maybe in the

80% or 85% range at the top many are in the 70s. there was an article talking about their 55% or 65% rate. we had bonuses and intentional things to get there. and now if a patient comes here they have full confidence that our employees and staff took every step to chemothem safe. i think frankly you will see the flood gates start to hope in hospitals. it took a few months but they are following suit. >> quickly you have 300 employees with medical or religious exemptions. how did you decide who get it's and who gets suspended? >> we followed the same process.

this is a mandated approach. there are some legitimate medical issues. those individuals will under go significantly enhanced testing and be required to have higher levels of protective equipment. there are some places they can't work. they're too full place a commite same committee that did this for a dozen years for flu and used that same process. at the end of the day it is a fair and equitable approach. so we still have a vast majority of almost everybody. >> thank you for raising this issue. coming up next, tomorrow marks five years since once of the deadliest mass shootings in this

are plans for other the weekend. and lbgtq rights are increasingly under attack. the nation is celebrating pride month and state legislatures across this country passed 20 new anti-lbgtq laws. since the start of the year. that includes transcommunity. nine states passed legislation. we talked about that here on this show, and all of this having a major impact, no surprise, on mental health. a new report reveals 70% of lbgtq youth says their mental health has been poor during the pandemic. joining us now to discuss, sarah kate ellis and alfonso dade.

it's one thing to say that crime is up and we're addressing it, but it's lawmakers doing it since the beginning of the year. >> we're fighting back. the human rights campaign announced a week ago that we're bringing lawsuit against the state of florida and governor desantis. they have legislation to bar transgender girls from participating in supports. we're going to hold these elected officials accountable. they're trying to erase transgender people claiming their trying to solve a problem, but there is no problem. there is no problem because transgender people have existed for decades. we had antidiscrimination laws on the books since the 1970s that protect people on gender identity. and the governor himself could

not identify a single instance in florida where he thought that transgender females were receiving a competitive advantage. we're going to hold them accountable in court. we will hold them accountable in the ballot box, and many of them will be running for reelection, and we're addressing the myths and misinformation about transgender people and lies to make sure that the public is educated. >> thank you for raising that myth. the discussion that people have at their dinner tables about transgender youths and supports is nonsense. talk about the impact this is that ving on mental health. what can we do to help the kids? >> it is we are now coming out

of a ban determineic. all of this has had a grave impact on the memberal health of our movement, the problem is that the solutions are so simple. simply accepting someone for who they are has a dramatic impact. it cuts their suicidal ideation in half. using their pronouns. calling them who they are by the name they want to be called. all of these simple acts of validating someone's pure existence has a big impact on

where they stand. it's very important to continue to urgent the public on this, to educate our allies on that, and i think pride is the perfect month to do it. i want to say on the legislative part of this we have an equality act that is out there in the senate right now that the public needs to know about that would help to negate most of these bad bills. most of them would not exist if we pass the equality act. but just to protect us as a community and just the beginning of the month with taylor swift we launched the summer of equality to bring awareness to this. >> failing education systems, failing infrastructure, and poor unemployment systems. thank you both, i really
