you in msnbc headquarters. new this hour, in the fight for voting rights, democrats on capitol hill are exploring reconciliation as a tool to get voting legislation through the house and senate. senator amy klobuchar and congressman james clyburn explaining two ways it can be done. >> we can put election infrastructure funding along with housing and child care and the like and do what we can to incentivize mail in ballot. >> we can reconcile these things by the constitution. the 15th amendment gave the former slaves the right to vote. that was done by the way by a single party vote. to senator manchin, bipartisan is good but it's not required to make a good solid law. >> republicans are taking issue with the timeline set by senator

schumer for procedural vote on an infrastructure package. >> you say that chuck schumer is trying to give an arbitrary deadline. i covered lots of legislative battles in the senate and what he is saying is start debate. he's not saying let's have a final vote on a bill. what's wrong with that? >> start debate on what? we don't have a product yet. we won't have a product until we can finish the negotiations properly. tomorrow a big hearing on the january 6th insurrection. the first defendant will be sentenced on a felony charge related to the breach on capitol hill. let's get amanda golden. welcome to you. a big week ahead on the hill. first of all, what are lawmakers saying about the capitol riots? >> reporter: in addition to the sentencing that you alluded to that will be coming tomorrow, the attention is turning to first public hearing that will be taking place in just over a week on july 27th from the house

select committee that will be investigating the attacks. we're still awaiting kevin mccarthy appointments that come to the panel. democrats have a quorum. they have the eight members. they will not wait to see who he puts forward. with a scheduled hearing that does add pressure. he's playing the cards close to the chest. we're not sure who he will pick. democrats are not stopping. they are looking forward to the hearings and want them to be as transparent as possible. we heard congresswoman sarah jacobs speaking about what she hopes the committee will look into especially with first public hearing. take a listen. >> i think there is an important fact finding we need to do about how the break downs were able to happen that day that allowed these rioter, this mob to get into the building, to get as close as they did to us in the

house chamber. i was in the house gallery that day. then i also think we need to look at how this was able to be funded. how the message was able to be spread. the misinformation as i said and really what kinds of security precautions we need to put in place in the capital so if god forbid something like there ever happens again, we're better prepared. >> reporter: the chair of the select committee said this first public hearing will focus on the rank and file capitol police officers as well as support staff, custodial staff and others here on january 6th. that's not going to preclude them from going to former administration member, to even former president trump. they do have subpoena power. they will follow the facts and they will do what is necessary to follow those threads as they pursue the investigation. >> it will be very interesting to see who they will be subpoenaing. thank you so much.

let's dig a little deeper and bring in texas democrat collin allred. give me your reaction to the reporting we just heard from amanda. where do things stand? >> i think chairman thompson is doing the right thing by beginning with the rank and file police officers, the folks working in capitol that day because they went through so much trauma and so much misinformation about what was happening to them. i think it's right to begin with them. i think it's also right that this committee will go where ever it needs to go for how long it needs to go onto make sure it gets to the bottom of what went into that day and the bottom of what that day and make sure we get recommendations on it never happening again. >> we have seen a lot of video. we have seen the still photos.

we know it was hell on earth for so many of them. the things they were being attacked with is such a heinous recollection. what kind of questions do you want to get asked to get to the bottom of what happened? >> first of all, i think we have to have an accounting of the facts. january 6th was one of the darkest days in the history of our country, period. bar none. it's one of the worst offenses that ever happened to our democracy, the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war. we have to have an accurate accounting of that. put it out for the public to see. get past the facebook pages and internet chat rooms where the rumors and lies are spreading so effectively. people need to know what happened. i also, as somebody who was there that day and who was falling along and first had to evacuate, i want to talk about the roles of the folk that went into organizing this. the roles of the people involved in terms of bringing people and

directing them in some way. we need to know more on the outside that's not in the criminal context, maybe so much. it's about why that day happened. why the folks were there. we know about the tweets from the former president and all that. there was a lot of organizing that went on as well. >> kevin mccarthy still hasn't picked republicans to serve. a third of the house voted against certifying the election. how do you get to the bottom of this when it could be argued that your own colleagues, all of them republicans, the ones i'm speaking about, enabled the rioters, at the very least by not condemning their actions. >> yeah. it's difficult. let's also recognize that regardless of who leader mccarthy appoints. the speaker that speaker pelosi appointed is bipartisan. congressman cheney on that panel. i've said for some time that i think the biggest divide in our country isn't so much between

the republicans and democrats as between the folk who is still believe in our democracy and those who don't. there's some of our republican colleague who is i know still believe in it. who voted not -- who voted to certify the election results and voted for this elect committee, who voted several times at their own political risk to try and move forward with this. those are the folks i'd like to make sure we can work with, to protect american democracy. we'll disagree on policy but we shouldn't disagree on our democracy. that's thing that's been the most troubling since january 6th. >> yeah. congressman, do me a favor. stay with me. i want to bring in josh letterman at the white house. we'll ask you some questions about what's happening in your own backyard in just a second. there's some new reaction to vice president kamala harris met with two of the three texas lawmakers who later tested positive for covid. josh you're on top of that story yesterday when it happened. what are we hearing about it today? >> reporter: the vice president had met with these democrats,

two of them who later tested positive for covid-19 on tuesday. the white house says they learned yesterday about the positive covid cases. vice president spokeswoman and senior adviser simone sanders said it was determined that vice president harris and her staff were not at risk because they were not in close contact with those who tested positive. the white house saying, they did not need to be tested or quarantined. also pointing out that both vice president harris and her staff are fully vavaccinated. just this morning we did learn that vice president harris is paying a vice president to walter reed medical center for what a white house officials tell us is a routine doctor's appointment. there's no indication this has anything to do with the positive covid cases. again, the white house describing this as a routine visit. they are not offering a lot of

details. it's fairly common for the vice president or the president if they will go to walter reed for a check up to do it on a weekend when it will cause less disruption to the hospital as well as to white house operations. still, these latest covid breakthrough cases are a reminder to continue to be individual vigilant. >> thank you so much. three fully vaccinated texas democrats testing positive for covid in washington. how will you and your colleagues respond if that's used to discredit the walk out? >> i think it has nothing to do with it. i think it's a good reminder as your colleague just said, that we're still not out of this pandemic. if you are vaccinated, you're not going to have a serious reaction if you do test positive. you're not going to have serious illness or have to be hospitalized or die. that's what we know is happening

across the country as this delta variant is spreading. it's spreading in my community here in dallas and texas in general. we know that among those who have not gotten the protection of the vaccine this is contagious. it's extremely dangerous and all i can say is this is a further reminder that we all need to get vaccinated. it's free. you can get it pretty much anywhere. i have a cvs around the corner from me. you can walk in and get your vaccination. protect yourself and your family. it can happen to anyone as you have just seen. >> amen to that. it's been called a pandemic of the unvaccinated. 97% of those hospitalized are those unvaccinated. let me ask you about how all this is playing in your state. you have the texas tribune that found that 35% of registered voters want to make voting rules many r strict. 26% said they should be loosened. can you make the argument that the rules represent where the

texas voters are. >> the thing about fundamental rights. they're not really about how you feel about them. there's a lot of free speech, for example, that we might disagree with, but it's not about whether we agree with it or not. whether someone has the right to do that. the right to vote is a fundamental right. you can -- depending on how you ask the question, you'll get different results. i know the united states constitution and the supreme court said this is a fundamental right that's preservative of other rights. if you can vote, you can protect yourself in other areas of our democracy. it shouldn't be about how people feel about it. it shouldn't be about whether someone thinks we're doing enough or not enough. we have fundamental rules so that our democracy is the same from state to state or at least similar and that people can have access to the ballot. we have seen in texas for decades now, attempts to make

sure that certain texans can't engage in their democracy. this is not new for us. this is just the next chapter of the same old tired book. we've had enough of it. we want to make sure this doesn't happen anymore. that's why we need to have federal legislation. >> that was a pretty sage answer. i appreciate that. last question, what's the plan moving forward? this is the second time that texas democrats walked over the voting rights. they likely can't keep doing this forever. is there another option? >> i think right now the speaker of the texas house could say he's going to pull down this bill and these legislatures will go back and get to work on some of the other things that we know have to be done that our governor and our texas legislature has not been focused on. i think they are doing the right thing in terms of shining a light on what's happened here in texas. we're having this conversation. it's been had across national tv and national media about the restrictions that they are trying to put in place in texas and let's remember that from the very beginning, they wanted to

push this bill through on a holiday weekend in the middle of the night when no one could see it and there was no real debate around it. from that, we now are in this situation where every one knows what's in these bills. every one knows it's intended to stop certain folks from voting and that is helped us make the argument in the congress about why this is so critical. why we need to find a way through the senate. why we need to make sure we pass hr1 or the john lewis voting act. our democracy is at risk. this is all part of the same story. it really is. from the people storming the capitol to now people trying to say they shouldn't be able to have poll watchers who can follow you around the polling place and look over your shoulder while voting. it's all the same story. it's all about the big lie and trying to diminish our democracy. we have stop it. >> texas congressman, i very much enjoyed this conversation. come see me again soon. thank you.

let's go to arizona where a new report shows fewer than 200 potential cases of voter fraud have been discovered. only four that have resulted in charges, further debunking any claims that the 2020 election was stolen. joining me now is arizona secretary of state. welcome back to the broadcast. it's good to see you. these stats after more than three million votes being cast, what is your reaction to these numbers considering arizona has been under election audit for months now? >> well, these numbers are not surprising. we have said all along and we

know that our systems are secure and actual voter fraud is very rare and i should point out these are not actually -- these are cases being investigated and there's been even fewer actual charges of voter fraud. we know that voter fraud is very rare and that this audit, this highly partisan cyber ninja ballot review is not actually designed to ferret out real fraud or to validate or verify the election results. it's designed to sow doubt and undermine confidence in our elections and as congressman allred talked about the big lie and everything. this is another part of that equation of undermining election integrity in arizona and across the country. >> has anything new been revealed by all this? let me point out when i look at these stat, joe biden won the state of arizona by 10,400

votes. you right now have four votes that are being seen as inauthentic in some fashion. >> right. yeah, there's been nothing new. the folks conducting this fraud audit in arizona have continued to share pieces of information that are not -- it's really just made up information to continue to put out -- put that out and sow doubt and tease everybody that there's some big reveal coming in the results but the fact is they haven't found anything real that would serve to change their outcome of the 2020 election. what they are doing is just -- it's really dangerous to our democracy. we just heard your conversation with congressman allred about january 6th. there's nothing that could prevent something like that from happening again based on all

this misinformation. it's very dangerous. >> it's not just arizona. yesterday i spoke with michigan attorney general about the impact of the big lie on her state. let's take a listen to what she had to say about that. >> i don't know how we're ever going to get back on course after what we seen in our state. i don't know how we'll get to a point where the average voter in the state of michigan will ever believe what we know to be true, which is our elections are safe, secure and accurate. >> that's pretty stunning. how concerned are you for the same affect in arizona? >> it is vr stunning. i do have concerns but the fact of the majority of arizona voters across the board, not necessarily in one particular party but most voters do have faith in the election systems and the security and fairness of our elections and they also don't support what's going on here with this fake audit. they see it for the sham that it is and they honestly tired of

this partisan games. that is a big part of the reason i'm running for governor to get to work on real issues for the people of arizona that matter to their lives every day. not rehashing the 2020 election and if they want to join me in that. the bottom line is our elections are secure. they are fair. we will continue to tell that story. the ma joshjority of voters are us on that. >> you called into an investigation whether or not donald trump and his lawyer, rudy giuliani, interfered with the election in arizona. what do you think a probe could reveal? >> well, i think the important thing here is that what the evidence that came out wasn't surprising, but we now have text messages and voice mail recordings that there was attempted interference by the

folks -- with the folks over seeing the tabulation and certification and most arizona voters are horrified by this and it absolutely warrants further investigation to see if there was a crime committed but election interference is a felony. we called on the top law enforcement officer of the state to do something about that. it remains to be seen if he's going to. this evidence is stunning and should not be left unchecked. >> if you get the democrat nomination for the governorship there in arizona. you know a democrat governor has not been elected in arizona in more than 30 years. what are you going to do to swing voters your way? >> it's 20 years. >> oh, good. >> arizona is changing. we are a battleground state. that's born out in the last two

cycles. when i was elected secretary of state, we had not elected a statewide democrat in a decade. voters in arizona are tired of the partisan games, like i talked about. they want someone who will get to work and solve real problems. i'm sending that message to every voter in arizona that's what i've done during my time in the legislature, during my time as secretary of state. i'm not going to play the partisan games and use my position to score political points. i'm going to get to work on the problems that we have continued to ignore in our state funding education, fixing our roads, expanding broadband. these are critical issues that matter and affect the quality of people's lives every day. our lead who are are just being led by conspiracy theories are out of touch with these issues and out of touch with what matters to every day arizonans. >> okay. we're going to have you back again, no doubt. thank you much for your time

energy. watching the peleton whizzing by was unlike anything i've seen. take a listen to what they say. >> france is implementing this health pass. it's only maybe safer with more people getting vaccinated and knowing we're in a sporting event where everybody is safe. >> reporter: this is one of first big sporting events back in france since they started to reopen. in order to get past the police barricades you have to show proof of double vaccination. every single person, fan, media beyond the police barricade is double vaccinated. it feels pretty good. moving to tokyo, we're showing more reports of new cases. two new athletes that have tested positive. both south africa football players for the under 22 club. this is more than 50 people now associated with the olympics

that have tested positive. this is the kind of thing we will see and officials say they expect this. they have strict protocols in place and that every one, we're seeing some cheers. officials say their protocols in place. every one will self-isolate. they are testing and tracing every one who comes into contact. i don't think this will be the last athlete or the last person associated with that team who necessarily test positive. we'll be watching it. >> absolutely. okay. thanks, molly. coming up, some new book notes from trump tell alls including what he says he could do more of after being tossed off twitter. i'm really nervous. i don't know what i should wear. just wear something not too crazy, remember it's a business dinner not a costume party. on a spotty network this is what she heard... just wear something crazy, remember it's a costume party. a costume party!? yes!

let's start with i alone can fix it. the washington post they wrote it by the morning of the election day last year. excerpts that have been published say trump was desperate to beat joe biden in the election telling aides, i can't lose to this f'ing, fill in the blank guy. why do you think he was so desperate? was it just his craving to win or the need to beat joe biden specifically? >> well, it's a combination of the two. he was asked by reporters on election day, specifically that question. why did he want to win so badly? he said that winning is easy but losing is hard. losing is the hardest thing he would have to do in his life. yes, he saw this election as a fight between him and joe biden but he also just saw this as another fight he had to win. he's always had that mentality.

he's always been a shark. he was like that in real estate. he was like that throughout his business life and in the 2016 campaign. he was like that in the 2020 campaign. even as the polls showed him sliding. the polls showed biden poised to beat limb and win the white house back. trump just by election day was desperate to disprove that. to disprove the media and the fake media and the fake polls and deep state. >> according to landslide, the final days of the trump presidency, trump flew into a rage when fox news called arizona for joe biden on election night. you write it was a shocking call that marked the beginning of trump's re-election campaign and the president's aides quickly shifted to damage control mode in order to contain his fury. give me a sense of how much did that call from fox news shape trump's election narrative.

>> there's a couple of layers to that. first is the reason he was so angry at this call was that it really was the beginning of the end of his campaign. up until that point, his campaign was on a winning streak. they had won florida and texas and according to his internal campaign pollster, they were on track to win, arizona. the fact the state was called for biden that was a blow to the campaign. the second and more important thing where trump is concerned, i think, he saw this as a personal betrayal because the network that called arizona for biden was fox news. he is always seen his relationship with that network as different than his relationship with the rest of the news media. he felt like this was a personal betrayal because he felt like he was really the reason the that the network had seen such a boost in the ratings since he ran for president, since he became president and led the white house. he saw -- the reason that he

felt such fury was because it was fox news that called arizona, rather than the fact that biden had won arizona. >> let's look at another book. frankly we did win this election. the inside story of how trump lost. trump said he was glad to be banned from twitter because among other things gave him more time to read. it's really better than twitter trump said. i didn't realize you could spend a lot of time on this and now i have time to make phone calls and other things and read papers that i wouldn't read. do you buy that? do you think he was glad and do you have any idea what kind of papers he was not reading that he is now? >> it's interesting. the first thing i would note is it's not a secret that trump didn't like to read. throughout his presidency, we saw multiple reports that said things like intelligence briefings had to be sort of paired down for him and had to

be written in bullet point form with lots of pictures. he had to hear his name mentioned. otherwise he wouldn't pay attention. it wasn't surprising to see that he felt like he had more time to read given that it didn't seem like he did too much of during his presidency. the other thing is this very much seems like an effort from trump to sort of save face and make the fact that he's been exiled from social media and deplatformed and lost his public megaphone to sort of spin that narrative as one that's actually been beneficial for him. >> so interesting. i appreciate your take on all of it. good to see you. >> thank you. new coronavirus outbreaks are being reported at summer camps across this country. how do you protect campers who are still too young to get the vaccine? the move camps are making to avoid the virus, next. aking to avoid the virus, next.

new today in the coronavirus pandemic, cases are on the rise across most of the country with 44 states reporting a surge in infections over this last week. take a look at where the new cases are rising. many southern and north eastern states are seeing a 50% surge in cases. no state is experiencing a decrease in infections. health officials say many of those new infections could have been prevented if more people were vaccinated. 48% of americans are fully vaccinated. for adults that number jumps to

59%. there's new concerns today over children in covid outbreaks. from the south to the midwest hundreds of cases have been linked to summer camps. most of the kids attending are too young to be vaccinated. welcome. what are camps able to do to try to keep numbers down? >> reporter: they are trying to pivot here as we're in the middle and getting toward the end of summer. they do have some summer camps that come out and meet. they had to restrict the number of activities they have out here. they had to continue wear masks even outdoors. that's how you have seen some of these camps pivoting. we're seeing nation wide these camps with these higher outbreaks are being led by the delta variant especially concerning because we know that kids under 12 cannot get vaccinated. we're talking states like texas, illinois, missouri and arkansas

have to restrict their summer camps and stop them. 80 cases reported at one summer camp in illinois. i talked to some families out here. their kids are in summer camp. they told me their summer camps are adjusting. they are requiring masks out doors. i asked parents about the availability of the vaccine for their children this coming fall. listen to what they said. >> i'm a little more nervous for the kids. none of my kids are in the age group they can be vaccinated yet. i am really hoping they make it available. >> i would be the first in line. i think it's important so they don't have to worry about getting covid and spreading it to others. we have some elderly relatives who still aren't vaccinated. they can't visit them or hug them. it's been a while. i really like them to be able to feel like they don't have to think about it anymore. >> reporter: there is that fda

announcement that approval come be coming for vaccines for people under 12 as early as early winter or mid winter. that will be too late for camps. we know that schools with the surge of the delta variant are deciding whether or not they have to adjust their mask policies and social distance policies as well. we know that eight states are saying they are going to ban any requirement on getting a vaccine in order to have in person learning. as this develops, this is something we'll have to watch very closely. >> there's some time before schools get back into action again. we'll see if any of that has to be mendsed. thank you so much. american billionaires gain nearly two trillion dollars in wealth during the pandemic. can president biden get billionaires to pay for his spending plans? a new report has the answer. machine plans a new report has the answer. mainch ♪ ♪

. nelson mandela, south africa's great voice for peace would have been 103 years old today but his country is far from peaceful with perhaps more than 200 people dead in some of the worst violence since apartheid. let's going kelly. let's talk about what's going on there and what you can tell us about the week ahead and what it holds. >> reporter: yeah, alex, the first thing to note is former president his corruption trial resumes tomorrow. he may appear virtually for that. that could be a flash point for some of his supporters. you'll recall the arrest is what sparked all of this wave of first protests and then looting and violence. not only here in durbin but in the area surrounding johannesberg. this organized and well planned.

three more people had been arrested. the people who police say were instigators of this. they are accused of inciting violence and will be appearing in court tomorrow. the damage is really so widespread. there were people who were out trying to clean up today but we're talking about food distribution warehouses, shops, malls, supermarkets where people buy their supplies for themselves and their children. food, diapers, baby formula. so many were destroyed. a lot of people are struggling to get food and on mandela day, today. a lot of business owners and private citizens were taking them out to communities in need. we joined one of these spontaneous food drives led by a restaurant food owner. he handed over a truckload of food to a pastor who said

hundreds in his community are going hungry. take a listen. >> this is a lifeline for someone. tonight somebody will go home and eat. they have not eating for three or two days. tonight, someone's life is taking care of. i'm very thankful. i'm so grateful. >> reporter: other families we met said they were simply too afraid to leave their homes. ply afraid to leave their homes. in search of food because of the violence over the past week. alex, there have been a few isolated incidents of arson and looting overnight into today. police here are on high alert and they're trying to keep those under control. >> an extraordinary gift, that life line, giving people something to eat at night. that was very well said. thank you so much. two new stories on the economy at this hour.

first, a new poll on president biden's handling of the economy. we'll gete tom in a moment. first, a new study shows billionaire wealth skyrocketed during the pandemic. this country's top earners gained almost $2 trillion in the last 16 months while the economy was shut down and millions of americans were relying on covid relief payments to make he knows meet. the study comese as congress i finding out how to pay to infrastructure for american families.as >> there is something fundamentally wrong with three billionaires have more wealth than their bottom 50% of our population combined. joining me now, the professor at the university of chicago booth's school of business. good to see you again. do you agree with march markey? if so, what is wrong with this s picture? >> you kind of knew this was going to happen becausene the highest income earning occupations can be done from home.

and so the stock market going up, they didn't lose their jobs. mostly the very top of the income distribution never had a recession. there never was a recession. and that followed donald trump cutting taxes $2 trillion for that group. so i am fairly sympathetic to the view that if we're going to make investments in theoi count, the first place we should look for paying for those investments would be among the people who have had p an amazing run, both through the pandemic and in the years before the pandemic. >> you have to wonder. what will you do y with all tha money? the top two we know are investing in private space travel. let's get ast run down of the th three. you have elon musk, owner of tesla and spacex.a gained $138 billion. jeff bezos, owner of amazon, $9o billion for him. and then you have facebook's

mark zuckerberg, $71 billion. can and should this newly created wealth help pay for, let's talk specifically, biden's family and infrastructure plans? >> yeah, i think that it should. that is different than the specifics, let's say, of, it should be a wealth tax? should there be an income tax nc increase? all of those are details that in a way, we can debate. we can argue through the specifics. but the basic idea that high income people, and specially mega wealthy, had an amazing time economically during what was a very difficult period for everyone else in the country. and that it followed on a huge tax cut under the trump administration. i don't see how you can get away from that. >> so on your position, whether the wealthiest americans paid theirwe fair share of taxes. o the word is fair there.

you have to consider the tax break initiatives that do encourage investment or reinvestment? >> well, i think in the last few years, it's f been less than thr fair share. i think by historic standards, the share of income that high income peoplee are paying in taxes is not a record low but is definitely low by the standards of recent history. and then you add on top of it. the stock market did great. they never had a recession. and in my view, this is just totally straightforward that if you're going tost make infrastructureo investments, t benefit the growth of the country, the way to pay for that would be to ask the people that have had an amazing run to pay more of their income and that that would be a fairer share. >> there's a new survey and it

shows president biden has a 53% approval on his handling of the economy. an overwhelming approval for more federal spending on infrastructure, as well as child and elderly care. does this suggest a change comingsu in where federal dolla are spent? >> it is certainly a change in focus from the administration. the tax cut of the trump years remains the most unpopular tax cut in the history of american polling. and that's because it is widely understood that it benefited very high income people and big corporations, and most people look around and say it didn't work. all the things they promised about those high income tax cuts did not deliver on. and so i think there is an opening that you've seen. president biden just drive a truck rightju through that openg wherero he says, we've neglecte investments in ours, infrastructure, in our health tr care, in our education system.

and let's stop neglecting it. and i'm going to ask people to pay something like the historic rates of taxation that they've paid in the past in order to help us do that. and that remains a pretty popular message. even among republicans, it is interesting to see. when you break it out. if you don't describe it as joe biden's plan, if you just describe what it is, it is remarkably popular even among republicans. >> yeah. okay. come see me again soon. many thanks. >> any time. two days to liftoff, in fact, for jeff bezos. the second billionaire heading to space this month. what we're learning about the people and the mission. e people and the mission try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.

another chapter in the modern day space race. a briefing from the team of billionaire jeff bezos who will be on a high stakes trim aboard

his own rocket. the new shepard team as it is called, held a news briefing and discussed the safety aspects of the mission. >> my number one responsibility as flight director is the safe execution of this mission and the safety of my launch crew which includes our astronauts. new shepard will not launch until i am satisfied it is safe to do so and i give my go for launch. i'm proud to say we just successfully passed our flight ratings and are currently on track for launch at 8:00 in the morning central daylight time on july 20th. >> it will be the first crewed launch for blue origin's new shepard rocket. if successful, bezos will make history for taking part in the first unpiloted sub orbital flight with a civilian crew. of course we'll carry the test flight with coverage beginning at you heard, 8:00 a.m. eastern.
