>> thank you for watching this hour of right now more news with jose diaz balart. >> referee: good morning, i'm in for craig melvin. this hour we're following breaking news for you. any minute now we're expecting to hear from president biden after a block buster july jobs report. the biggest monthly begin since august. we're going to hear from the numbers and what it signals about an ongoing recovery. 943,000 jobs were added beating expectations. that's just under the entire population of delaware. but looming over this news is

across the entire country. the u.s. is averaging over 109,000 new covid cases a day. but we start with that new jobs report. josh letterman is at the white house. i also want to bring in stephanie ruhle, and jim mecina. thank you all for being with me. by the way he was also serving as president obama's campaign manager. let me start with you. we heard that the president will be speaking any moment now about this block buster jobs report. what will we hear? >> the white house is certainly breathing a sigh of relief today after fearing this report could have been worse than it was. i think you will hear two mayor themes from the president. the argument that his build back better approach is working.

they have succeeded and now is the time to keep the foot on the gas when it comes to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, when it comes to the democrats 3.5 trillion spending bill, and other measures to try to make sure the economy is able to overcome some obstacles. the other key theme is the fact that in order to preserve the economic progress that we saw in this report, tentative as it might be, that we have to continue to deal with the vaccinations. that we cannot ease up on trying to get as many people vaccinated as possible. this job's report does not include data from the end of last month. really the time when we were seeing the delta variant cases surging and so the administration will be making the case. that in other words to make sure that progress continues and delta does not impede the progress being made that they

need to get as many vaccinated people as possible and they want states and companies to help with that effort. >> and i want to say hello to stephanie. this report is as if thating, but are you hearing something different on the streets? >> yes, this is a great jobs report and people are back to work. wages are up, but they're not moving as quickly as inflation is. people are concerned that everything in their life is costing more. and the white house continues to say this is short term, it's supply and demand, it will work out, but it has not yet. and these inflation woes are a real problem across the country,

and reallies will look at this great jobs report, and they will push back for wanting to spend so much money. they had a new eviction moratorium for renders. they're going to say with all of these jobs we don't need to offer the kind of government support that we were at the height of covid. you could say this is a post covid economy. however, we all know that we're not in post covid yet. so it's tricky messaging. >> we're talking about things like the price of gasoline shooting up through the roof. food, the basic food necessities that are up. this is affecting people in a very real way. >> in a very real way and people a talking about it every day. think about people about to go back to the office.

they have not been paying for lunch, coffee, or to commute. they saved that money and they feel good about it. they don't want to pay increased prices. think about all of the parents, the moms, planning ongoing back to work. even if they go back to work, your school could get shut down or your class quarantined immediately. so they're balking saying maybe i can't go back to work. and unless it starts to get addressed, it could start to hurt them. it's as important as the infrastructure program is, and as much as we need it those are big picture long-term projects that we need. but in the now there is a lot of worried people out there. >> we are in the middle of a new surge in covid cases that could effect the economy and the recovery. what's the fine line that the white house should be walking here?

>>. >> first of all to your point the biden boom is real. but there is more that we have to do. to stefanie's point we can't take just a short-term look at this. we are building the economy for the long haul. in the numbers today, the 954 number is great, but becames are up 163 since before the pandemic. but the white house, what you vaelz that every day there are channels that no one else can fix. this inflation challenge is real and the administration is doing exactly what they should be doing. focusing on the long term, continue to move their stimulus. and we have to continue to stimulate this economy and that the most important thing they could do right now is get needles in arms and pass an infrastructure bill for the long term. that's what white house is focused on, that's what they

should be doing and that's what they are doing. >> i want to point out that when you look at these numbers there is a develop in unemployment, there is good news for the entire country, but i want to show you perception of president biden's handling of the pandemic and the handling that has dipped. how does the biden administration turn that around. >> pass an infrastructure bill. get a bipartisan bill through that shows you're working with the other side. exactly what they want. that's good politics for the white house, for the house republicans and democrats, and it is the number one thing that should be on both party's agenda right now. >> josh, while i have you i want to ask you potentially withholding federal funds to try to persuade institutions to get their employees vaccinated, what

can you tell me about that? >> we're seeing the white house going back to the drawing board after their initial attempts to get folks vaccinated have not been sufficient. the white house determined it's not in their power to order every american to get vaccinated. so now they're looking through every point of possible federal leverage to see what we can do. so they're looking at a possibility of using federal funds to try to get institutions to require their employees to get vaccinated. you have thousands of nursing homes across the country. day are having earl early discussions saying if you wants, we're told these are very preliminary, that no decisions have been made, and that we heard from the congress secretary that told stephanie ruhle a little while ago that they're being thoughtful about

this and dlibtive because they want to get it right. >> josh leatherman, jim mecina, stephanie ruhle, thank you for being with me this morning. we're going to bring you the president's remarks once he begins. the u.s. is now averaging over 109,000 new covid cases a day. right now in mississippi there are only six open icu beds in the entire state. in lose, the covid deaths are at 31% in the last two weeks. in texas the pace of cases is surging at an astonishing rate. more than 13,500 cases reported just yesterday. more than 7600 hospitalizations. i want to bring in our former obama white house policy director. thank you for being with me. most of the big cities in texas

raids the covid threat to read level. what are you seeing? >> we're seeing deja vu in the worst way. and yet here we are again. hospitalizations quadrupled. they went down to three to five cars a day and now they're going to see more than 300 vehicles a day. i'm waiting to hear what one nurse, what one of the coordinating doctors had to say trying to describe this situation. >> the people that come in here that are vaccinated that are positive. some have symptoms, but they're a minor cough, headache, or

fatigue. the people that come in without the vaccine that are positive have 102 degree fevers, chills, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea. the different between the two is astronomical. >> the difference here is that as that positivity rate rises across the state they don't have a means to institute any sort of safety measure going forward, a mask mandate or eliminating certain measures. as we watch the numbers tick up there is growing concern on how bad it will get before it gets better, jose? >> morgan, in dallas, thank you. dr., i want to read you this

headline. texas hospitals hit by staffing crisis as burnout creates burnout and covid-19 surges. is there anything they can do to address this? >> yeah. this is my home state and it is definitely really hitting my heart. i think local officials can get some support from the governor. they add outside sources. of course it is not easy to find staff. they not floating around but they had done these. and i think acknowledging the burnout we're all working through fazes of burnout and we need to feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. local officials can just keep stepping up vaccination efforts. it gives us a sense that there is a light. you look at other countries and

they are declining dramatically. we hope we can follow that pattern. >> doctor, let's talk about this surge that we're seeing in nursing homes. 38% last week. 31% among staff, how concerning is this? >> very concerning. and there is two driving factors to consider. one is what we were just talking about with the potential here. but we should try to aim as high as possible. and they had probably waning immunity. they were the first to get vaccinated.

so now we have a have a conversation about whether or not they need a third dose or any additional giant that protects them from a breakthrough infection that could be serious. >> so doctor, because that has been going around now for some days, about the possibility for modernor a fooiz tore have a shot toon. what is the chances of that happening? >> the processes are happening in parallel. there is data that the manufacturers are collecting. but there is a regulatory process and we have to have input first from the faa and then talk about immune zaigs practices. i'm telling you it would not

come at a more opportune time. and many of us being concerned about our immunity level. >> and the american academy of pediatrics says they're looking to see if there is more severe disease in children. this concerns all of us. >> yeah, and it should. here is why it concerned me as a doctor and as a parent. children are the most vulnerable in the sense that under 12 there is not even an eligibility. we think the delta strain is not necessarily worse in children, but because there is so many that are unvaccinated and it is so easy to give and get that

we're seeing more cases. another crate kal point is schools starting. we need to make sure that we have this u done. >> the conversation that i'm having at home is when my daughters both got vaccinated wells my wife and a, we opened up a little bit as far as we can be outdoors more, indoors in some cases, and now do you have to kind of turn that back and tell your children listen? go back to how it was before? >> no. jose, i think is worth reinforcing an honest conversation. they are working and preventing hospitalizations and deaths by and large. what you're describing is what i have had conversations with my own family about if go into a

packed indoor restaurant you should have a mask. if you're with others that you know indoors that have been vaccinated your risk is extremely low. i feel comfort woublt wearing a mask. outdoors we have not seen any evidence of outdoor transmission being a driving factor. so i say all of this with "you should not live in fear, but you should also have a sense of humility about thousand is a fluid situation. when i send them back to schools they have masks, there will be well vaccinated classrooms, and i will ask e accident about who is vaccinated. >> thank you so much. >> i appreciate it. thank you. >> burned to the ground in a matter of minutes. a historic town in northern

11:21 in the east. we're watching these images from the white house. here is president biden. >> what a good morning. yesterday the united states senate took the additional step toward passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill. it would end years of gridlock in washington and create millions of good paying jobs. put america on a new path to win the race for the economy in the 21st century. historic investment many roads, rail, transit, bridges, clean energy, and clean water will andble us to build back and to build back better than ever. i want to thank the bipartisan group of senators working

together and the committee chairs for raising their ideas and concerns with me and the cabinet. as you did with the transcontinental railroad we will transform america and propel us into the future. this bill makes key investments to put people to work. in rurals, communities, along coastlines and planes. it will put america to work in good paying community jobs, and you know, once this bill passed the senate i know that body will move toward establishing a frame work for the remainder of my build back better agenda. and ax cuts for the middle class by investing in childcare and

homecare for seniors. crate kal investments. vital temperatures needed to bring down the cost of health care. and so much more. we're going to do it without raising taxes by even one cent on people making less than 400,000 a year. here is another important part. 90% of the jobs created by this legislation will not require a college degree. 90%. it's a blue collar blueprint to rebuild america. that brings me to another piece of good news this morning. we learned the economy created 943,000 new jobs in july. 943,000. the unemployment rate fellly half a percent to 5.4%. and while the economy is far from complete, and while we'll have ups and downs along the way

as we continue to battle the delta surge of covid, what is indisputable now is this. the biden plan is working. it is moving the country forward. we're now the first administration in history to add jobs for our first six months in office. economic growth is the fastest in 40 years. jobs are up. the unemployment is the lowest. black unemployment is good as well. why? we put in place the tools early in my presidency, the covid-19 vaccine plan. the american rescue plan to fight the virus and the economic mess that we inherited. we were able to make progress.

and we put in place the tools that prevent this delta variant from shutting down our small businesses, schools, and society. we first got to office, covid-19 crisis were unrelenting and devastating. as a nation we didn't have the tools to deal with either. nearly 4,000 americans were dieing each and every day from the virus. 4,000 per day. the economy had been wiped out. we were down 10 million jobs from where we were before the pandemic. we were in a dark winter with real concerns about what spring would bring. and then we got to work. and it gave us the tools to fight the pandemic and rebuild our economy and produced results. beat the pandemic we ramped up testing and protective equipment

and we went out and bought enough vaccine so that every single solitary american could be vaccinated. and because of the help of everyone from the military to civilian efforts, we carried out one of the most difficult logistic kal challenges in our nation's history. you get 220 million million shots into arms. 220 million. we cut deaths by 90%. as of today 193 million americans got at least one vaccination shot including over 70% of adults over the age of 18. 165 million americans are now fully vaccinated. because of our success and vaccination effort, this new delta variant wave will be very

different. different from dealing with the one that was under way when i took office. and yes, cases will go up before they come back down. it's the pandemic of the unvaccinated. i know i said it constantly. it is taking a needless toll on our country. you know we have roughly 350 million people vaccinated in the united states, billions around the world, and virtually no one has died because of that vaccination. often so the impact will be very different from what happened last january. today about 400 people will die because of the delta variant in this country a tragedy. virtually all of these deaths were preventable if people got

vaccinated. nearly 4,000 people died on that very day from covid-19. 4,000 versus 400. that shows how much our vaccination progress is lrnd done to protect us from the worst of the new delta covid-19 wave. like wise the american rescue plan has given us the economic tools we need to protect against the worst kbaktts of the delta virus. $1400 checks in the pockets of millions of americans to help keep folks in their homes. help to put food on the table. remember those long lines we used to talk about? people lined up in their cars for hours just to get a box of food put in their trump? helped the small businesses keep the lights on and the doors open. and employees on the job.

states were losing revenue, they were having to layoff essential workers. all of the aide to states, cities, police officers, firefighters, educators, on the job. funding for schools to reopen. ventilation, protective equipment. but as you vaccinated america we developed our economic tools to help our economy develop. we created, on average, 832,000 jobs compared to 50,000 jobs in the last three months of the previous administration. look, even so, my message today is not one of celebration. it is one to remind us that we have a lot of hard work left to

be done. to continue our advance of economic recovery. we all know what it starts with. i said again and again this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. you have to get more people vaccinated. i said well over, what's the number again, 350 million americans have been vaccinated. they're doing fine. i'm pleased to report in the past week we have seen first-time vaccinations in america go up by four million people getting vaccinated. four million shots. that's more than we have seen in a long time. i listened to the governor of maryland today on the television. democratic and republican governors to get the world out. as you all know, i put in place

new ensentives tone courage vaccinations. federal workers will be asked to attest to their vaccination status. anyone that does not attest or is not vaccinated will have to wear a mask no matter where they were. test one or two times per sweep. there will be more in common in the days ahead. i want to thank the local leaders, the private sector, those imposing vaccine requirements. america can beat the delta variant just as we beat the original covid-19. wear a mask where recommended. get vaccinated today. all of that will save lives. and it means we don't have to

save the economic damage that we saw when covid begin. but we're not stopping there. the american rescue plan was built knowing that the recovery would take time. and the ups and downs. let me outline today six specific actions that people will see and to make sure that we fight the variant and wait for new vaccinations to be finished. keep our economy strong. first and thanks to the tax cut, the next month, the next nine days, checks go out to 40 million families of children in nine days. in the middle of this month, i should say. on august 15ed, a family with two young children are going to get $6 million.

they get a check next week for six million, et cetera. if you have kids between between 7 and 17, you will get $250 per child. that will continue month after month. second we looked ahead, and now schools have the resources they need to safely repope as the school year starts again so every child can be in school full time this year. third we provided months ago states of all kinds with $45 billion in their conference to help renters and landlofrds to keep people in their homes. keep the local economy strong. that money has to get out soon. get that money out. we're going to send more help to

small businesses on main street so the delta variant does cause them to layoff employees and shutter their doors. there is something called the paycheck protection program. forgivable if they keep their employees on the job. we're now in the process of forgiving those loans. for those that get their insurance through the affordable care act, we're helping more people. we don't have insurance, and you can still sign up through august the 15th. go to healthcare.gov today.

and sixth we're going to lower prices on everything from prescription drugs to hearing aids. we're going to give them more choices at lower costs. for example, you're not going to have to go to a doctor to get a prescription to get a hearing aid. you're going to go right to the counter of the store and buy it over the counter. the bottom line is this. what we're doing is working. don't take my word for it. the forecasters on wall street project that the economy will expand by trillions of dollars. and they will create more than two million good paying jobs. we just have to keep going. that means get vaccinated, please. it is safe. it works. it will save lines, maybe your life. this is the pandemic of the

unvaccinated, so please, get vaccinated. be just have to stay the course. there is nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together. god bless you all, god protect the troops, have a good weekend. >> wow, is he going to answer that one? no answer today to any questions. the president there at the white house giving a recap of the very strong jobs report that was announced today along with the

pandemic. 5.4% unemployment in the united states. when you break it down the african-american community 8.2%. dproun 4%. when we come back, three quarters of the buildings in one california town destroyed after a deadly wildfire ripped through the region. dfire ripped through the region

are you packed yet? our flight is early tomorrow. and it's a long flight too. once we get there, we will need... buttercup! ♪ i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! [sighs wearily] here, i'll take that! woo-hoo! ensure max protein. with thirty grams of protein, one gram of sugar, and now with two new flavors!

right now thousands of people are under evacuation orders. it's now the sixth largest in california history. it has been burning three weeks and it is only 35% contained. high winds and extreme heat fuel the fire near greenville where nearly 75% of all of the buildings burned to the ground. juan is in greenville assessing the damage. what are you seeing?

>> jose, it looks like the set of a movie. we're under a giant cloud of ash. as you see it has been burned county completely. this was a historic town and area visited by tourists that come to do hiking, mountain biking, it's very green, it's a beautiful area. a historic town completely burned down. most of it looks like this. moments ago cal fire just updated the numbers and now the fire has grown to 432,000 acres that actually now makes the it the third largest in california history. they updated the numbers so we can see how much it has grown since last night. a lot of residents are currently under evacuations and we spoke to some that had to leave the town yesterday. >> it is ugly over there.

and with greenville gone we have no place to go. >> the reality is going to hit when we see the place, when it all comes to an end. >> when we finally get allowed back in there and it is either standing or a pile of ash. that's when it will hit us. >> after lot of residents can't come in yet, and this is what they will run into. if you look to this side it is difficult to see because we're a little distance, but under that cloud is a residential neighborhood. the only thing left there are chimneys. everything has burned down in this area and the residents are waiting to see what comes back.

they're they're trying to do what they can to protect right now 14,000 structures that remain threatened by the dixie fire that was updated to be the third largest in reported history. >> do me a favor, man, put a mask on, man. that air is toxic and you have to be really careful about that. it hit all kinds of areas in the nearby areas destroying properties for people that have been there for generations. >> that is correct, do i have my mask here, i took it off so the sound would be good for just about a minute. we have been wearing masks the entire time. so yes, this is an entire valley here, you a bute county and

towns across the roads. these are the opportunity tos underly under evacuation. so it is a lot of litting towns in a valley. they're doing what they can, and we have other fire burning in this part of northern california. we have the tamarac fire burning in the south of lake tahoe, but cal fire here busy fighting these fires as we see what is left behind by the dixie fire. >> thank you very much. good to see you this morning appreciate your time. >> we will switch stories right now gene to cuba. it is being ravaged by covid. so far the island saw the deadliest day of the pandemic. it comes as they marked the

anniversary of the protests. back then thousands took to the streets asking for freedom and change. reaction from the governor was swift and certain. repression increased, people were jailed, people were forced to leave the island. and this comes as, fast forward to 2021, we're seeing something very similar. thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, just this past 11th of july, taking to the streets asking for freedom. the response by the regime? the same. christina has her finger on the pulse of the island for us. talk about that 1994 uprising and how it has similarities to what we saw weeks ago and how it continued today. >> back in 1994 it started in

the streets of havana by the pier. it was only in havana and not in other parts of the country. also it was the largest rebellion that the cast crow regime saw. i remember being a producer at a network and we were watching in disbelief. the writer has since last, he had been a political prisoner in cuba and he was looking at those images in terror because he knew what would happen to the people out on the streets. he told us he had been tortures physically, mentally, and he was fearing for the people that took to the streets much the same as a lot of people were fearing for these young people that were

taking to the streets. the government has not looked for an escape, trying to launch a mass exodus. >> there are so many things to unpack with you. i think the internet, the importance of the internet, is koled by cuba. people were able to show the rest of the world and others in the island they're out protesting and it really made a difference. the response of the cuban government, the same one that has been in power, has been in power since 1959, the response was the same, but the internet is maybe something that is really the defining difference here, right? >> it is, jose, back then 25 years ago we would sit and watch the images come in. we were surprised that they were

able to get out of cuba. so now with the internet there has been intermittent connectivity. but the repression has been the same. we have seen the images. we are seeing more than we saw 25 years ago and one of the most important still have something called the political police, and we also have a law called the ley de peligrosidad that can arrest people for crimes they may commit in the future and we are seeing it. >> christina ordono from washington, noticias telemundo, star correspondent, thank you for being with me this morning. florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz part of the lawmakers who introduced the

congressional support for cuba's people. it is a pleasure to be with you this morning. >> thank you so much. >> we've seen the u.s. in support of the cuban people. many want to see bolder action against the cuban government. how do you see things? >> well, first of all, the july 11th historic protests across most major cities in cuba were so incredibly important, and you know, the fact that the regime and other cuba supporters were downplaying them as being related to covid or to, you know, economic pressure rather than the burning desire of the cuban people to be free and to be able to elect their own leaders and to be able to make their own decisions in their own right without fear of repression was very clear, and so i am so

thankful that the biden administration not only has left the sanctions in place that were put in place by the last administration, but now have added more sanctions and began targeting individuals and the oppressive agencies like the cuban revolutionary guard and the black berets and individual actors who have really caused misery for cubans. after those protests there are something like 700 political prisoners who remain in jail and many of them, as you know, jose, were put there on trumped up charges and had no due process with their sentencing. congressman, is there something that the united states could or should do or something that the united states should not do to help the cuban people at this time? >> right now president biden has

been doing everything that he can and really has led an effort across the region and the world to not only make sure that our sanctions are enhanced, but also has really stood up something like the u.s. geek squad to try to make sure that we can restore -- help restore internet access on the island. that's really critical. they're looking for ways that that can be done so that it isn't easily disabled by the cuban regime and rallying countries from around the world against the cuban regime has been critical. doing that not only in latin america, but also with many of our eu allies, but frankly, we need to continue to put pressure on countries like germany, france and the uk because none of them signed on to the -- the individual -- that the united states call.

some of them did sign on to the eu call, and so making sure that we bring world pressure which is being led, thankfully, by the biden administration on cuba will help us be able to give momentum to those protesters. that is so critical right now. >> i also want to talk about the bipartisan infrastructure bill, if a vote were held in the house right now, would you vote for it? >> you know, of course, we want to make sure that we can pass as much infrastructure investment as possible. this is a huge down payment on the bill effort, and i'm willing to support it as long as we see momentum and a forward-moving process on the reconciliation package which, my understanding will also be forthcoming. we expect a budget resolution from the senate and reconciliation instructions and as long as that process is moving forward i can see myself

voting for the infrastructure compromise that comes from the senate. >> so i'm not hearing a dogmatic "yes," right? you still have to see things. >> the devil is in the details, and i certainly wanted to see more investment in an infrastructure package, but this is -- look, we have a situation where we have to work together. we should always be working together. making sure that we can make the child care tax credit -- the child tax credit permanent. that's absolutely essential. making sure that we can make the kinds of investments that we can make to take care of people's health care, to make sure that we keep roofs over the heads of so many that are struggling over housing cover thes and making sure to that we continue to invest in job creation, the 943,000 jobs report today was fantastic news and now we need to make sure that we can continue to build back better and make more historic

investments so we can focus on job creation and put fire power on our economic progress. >> congresswoman debbie wasserman schulz, we appreciate your time. >> thank you so much for having me, jose. >> that does it for me this hour, i'm jose diaz-balart in for craig melvin. thank you for the privilege of your time. if you want to connect look me up on twitter @jdbalart. the great andrea mitchell and her report starts next. it's okay, you can stare. when you're a two-time gold medalist, it comes with the territory.
