10:00 am
if it is monday, it is major covid deja vu. more cities are imposing mask mandates again. including some children's hospitals as some kids start go back to school raising fears that the outbreak will only get worse. plus with the president's legislative agenda on the line the senate closes it on final passage on the bill. a senator at the center of a all, and later, new developments in the cuomo investigation. they meet to lay out next steps for impeachment as the governor's top aide resigns.
10:01 am
welcome to "meet the press daily." america now enters the final weeks of august bracing for a 2021 fall season that looks and feels a lot like fall of 2020. in a matter of weeks the highly contagious delta variant has ripped through communities turning this summer from one of optimism to confusion and anger. the 0% of counties are seeing high or higher transmission levels. more and more kids are being hospitalized in the hot spots as well. deaths are also rising. they're well off of their pandemic peaks, but they're averaging more than 500 people every day in this country.
10:02 am
public health officials spent months imploring the vaccinated to voluntarily get the jab. now the time has come for local officials to mandate it. >> the time has come to go the extra step to get people vaccinated. you want to persuade them, and that's good, and i think some people on it's own will go ahead and get vaccinated. but i believe mandates at the local level need to be done. >> as the delta variant rages, the spotlight shines brighter and brighter on millions of americans that are eligible for the vaccine but won't. there is a lot of viewpoints on the frustration targeting that group of americans. the longer we spend furious at the bag actors among us the
10:03 am
further we move from the truth. many unax nated people are scared like us. just like in the fall of 2020 there is a sense of deja vu. our political rhetoric, our effort to come bass misinformation, and perhaps above all in our questions for elected leaders around the country and the party in power. joining me now is vaughn hilliard. and we have monica alba in the epicenter of this crisis. where do they stand on that issue right now? right now students don't have to show up no to school here with a mask because of the governor's
10:04 am
order to bar a requirement that their students wear masks. florida is one of seven states that put up. now dallas is opener defying governor abbott's order saying when kids show up they have to wear a mask. we also saw that in the phoenix union school district. there has not been a single school district that is openly challenged for this extent. that is leaving parents concerned, how will they continue their classrooms here. and it is outside of the classrooms. i want to let you hear from one woman who is the grandma of two school students here in florida
10:05 am
and dallas. we had that conversation about her grand kids going to school here and what she thought of the school district's approach here. >> the governor signed an executive order, what do you want the school districts to know? >> i want them to stand up against the governor and make a stand based on the health and well-being of our children. zero children under 12 have been vaccinated. zero. >> we have seen lawsuits pop up against the state orders including here in florida just late friday night. an attorney representing multiple florida parents arguing that the florida constitution guarantees, yowl see it in there, a safe school environment for all public school students here. what is the extent of safe? what does that mean? and does it come down to county
10:06 am
and local school districts? who decides if the students must wear masks. >> there is something like 14,000 people hospitalized. to what ex-tent do they fight the virus versus the mandates to fight the virus. >> the focus is on the mandates. there is little being done to put a stop to this. this is a governor that has not only said the schools cannot force students to wear masks, but taking it a step further you're looking at cases every day of records being broken. another single day record just this weekend alone, and more than 14,000 hospitalizations right now here in the state of florida. let's go to morgan chesky
10:07 am
now. >> the numbers are incredibly concerning in not just the state of text, but here in austin. six icu beds are available. go up the road just a few hours, and you're touching able eight million people there. and that is why doctors, nurses, and hospitals are concerned across the state about the spread of the delta variant and they're wondering what to do. local leaders sharing that concern. they are unable to issue any mask mandates and one of the most heartbreaking is a mother who took her daughter to the hospital with covid, and the daughter had to be flown 150 miles before she could finally get care. >> it was around 4:00 a.m. when
10:08 am
they told me there was no room in houston, no pediatric beds. that's when they told me the closest pediatric hospital was in temple, texas and they said they would have to aerolift the baby over there. >> a lot of people wondering how this will be handled. they made it clear they don't have the power to enact their own mask rules. but we have seen dallas decide on their own that they will defy that. >> morgan, thank you. turning now to the white house's response, dr. fauci said that booster shots could be coming. what else are we learning today, building on the federal front of
10:09 am
the fight against the coronavirus? >> yeah, those are two critical hurdles. he believes understand the fda grants approval to the shots that could come any time this month is that there will be a flood of mandates. that is what the white house has been saying for some time now. that there won't be masks or vaccines at this point. they will maketh decisions for themselves. we're just getting breaking news in right now. reports of another angle to this which is according to the associated press the pentagon is going to require vaccines for all service members and it came as a direct request from president biden. and the secretary of defense, lloyd austin on this exact
10:10 am
topic, but they were waiting to see if that approval would come before that. so this is a fatigue rating. so we would like for the service members to be vaccinated four to six weeks from now which of course is the time we know it takes for them to be fully effective in terms of immunity. it was the white house just a couple weeks ago that laid out these new rules for federal workers and the civilians more than two million of them that have to get the vaccination or submit to rigorous testing. this would be a different step, it appears and we're waiting for confer ration at our team for all of the details on how this would work. this is something we believed was coming down the pipe we heard the president talk about it. he has been monitoring the rise
10:11 am
in covid cases all weekend long from his home here in wilmington. and he is trying to separate it out as two different thing. looking for a major new challenge, garrett. >> i don't know how many people are going to see that level of nuance there. >> joining me now with his medical perspective and doc, i want to start with looking at the map. it feels like we're running out of colors here as bad as things have gotten, how much worse could this potentially get with the delta variant? >> delta changed the game, let's acknowledge that. it's so highly contagious it has
10:12 am
done exactly what your maps have shown. it spread. it is the dominant strain. it may make you more ill when you get effected. the vaccines work against it. the vaccine will keep spreading among unvaccinated persons. we need to congratulator together and get ourselves vaccinated so we can get a barrier for the virus we have been talking about mandates and requirements and we need to do this. the leadership has to be vaccinated already. we're rolling it out to the rank and file and i think more and more employers and institutions, if you're coming to be a student here at vanderbilt would have to bring a vaccination with you.
10:13 am
you can't get in unless you're vaccinated let's talk to you, persuade you. and pull you along. >> people going back to concerts, going to big events outdoors. the white house made a huge push to reopen the country around the fourth of july. now we're back talking about super spreader events like sturgis happening right now in south dakota. i want you to listen to what some of the attendees there said when we asked them about the virus. >> no, not at all. >> all of a sudden a new disease comes up and they have a cure for it in a matter of months,
10:14 am
it's like there is no way, i don't care what the news media tells me. >> everybody says they don't know how long the anti-bodies last. they also don't know how long the anti-bodies last with the vaccine. why get it if you already had covid anyway. >> people that have been vaccinated get so angry when they hear stuff like that. can you speak at all about this frustration that so many of them have. so many people are just very bothered by it. >> i think i can answer all of their questions. you can persuade them to get vaccinated. it's not just about them as individuals. this is a contagious infection. they could spread it to others. they did it last time they had a
10:15 am
convention in sturgis. we need to keep reaching out to these people. i want to ask you on the budget is of kids, what would you say to a parent, local official, who reads a headline like this one. kids. why is this a bigger threat to younger people? >> well, we have to try to keep two things in our minds at the same type. it's clear that younger persons are less apt to get seriously infected, but delta changes the infection. it is seeking out people who are unvaccinated. younger adults down into
10:16 am
teenagers and even younger children. the way to stop that is for all of the rest of us to get as vaccinated as possible and in schools absolutely wear the masks. the american academy of pediatrics records that every school child wear a mask. do that good hand hygiene, do the social spacing. every school has to do a number of these things to mitigate the spread of this virus. >> coming up, senator tim kaine will be here. plus, we'll talk to him about the taliban moving to take over multiple cities in afghanistan as the success moving out. and later, the new alarming and

10:20 am
there is real action in the senate on both tracks of the infrastructure legislation. on the bipartisan bill the senate is poised to vote in the early morning hours tomorrow and it is looking like it will have comfortably more than the 60 votes needed for passage. and the senate will move on to the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package. the details are preliminary, but it allocates funding for
10:21 am
universal pre-k. lawful permanent status and a host of climate projects an an extension of the child tax cuts. the paid fors including changing the tax race for individuals making more than 400,000 a year. joining us now is tim kaine. senator we got our first look at the package this morning and we know there is not unanimous green amount the details. how much do you expect the final version to be different from what you're laying out right now? >> yeah, this process sets up an instruction. and then the degrees, we're allocated funds for our priorities, and we have to write the detailed bill and do it in a way to get 50 out of 50 votes to
10:22 am
bring it back to the floor in september for passage. it will be shaped and molded along the way, but i do think this framework is an accurate portrayal of what we want and what we're likely to end up with. there will be details that might change some things, but still the frame work we put on the table we believe we will get there. >> we're talking about lawful status. does that mean dreamers? does it men workers? >> that is something that the judiciary committee will work on. they will try to craft a detailed description of what that means that can satisfy all 50 democrats. we're not expects any republican votes on this. it has to be something that even
10:23 am
will agree to. there has been similar provisions and earlier reconciliation bills. there is a precedent of using reconciliation for this, but the parliamentary precedent is different from what will all 50 democrats sign off on. >> you talked about getting buy in from everyone and that includes more moderate members. and they're more worried about inflation and talking about the package being totally paid for. here is what joe manchin said about it last month. >> we have to worry about our debt, we have to get our financial house in horder. i always said we have to pay for it. >> so he says you have to pay for it.
10:24 am
can you guarantee you will pay for the bill? >> i'm going to pay for the bill and there is a couple different ways you can pay for a bill like this. first you raise revenues. they say to raise at least a billion dollars and they will likely do that with things like the adjustment of the corporate tax credit. they dropped it from 35 to 21. so you can pay for it by increasing revenue sources like corporate tax rates or here is another. if we embrace, for example, negotiated pricing for prescription drugs that will save hundreds of billions of dollars and we can apply them to the health care portions of the
10:25 am
reconciliation bill. finally in the bipartisan deal, republicans embraced using growth projections to pay for some portions of the bipartisan bill. and democrats what is good for the goose is good for the gander. if that is good enough for you we might use it, too. >> the bipartisan embrace of growth projections has been one of the most interesting things for me to watch. but look. you will have to raise taxes here, right? the bill has it laid out that it is not just for people making more than 400,000 a year. and do you worry you might lose moderate members? could do be politically problem mat snick. >> yes. i think taking it back to what we're talking about. not letting people who make
10:26 am
their living through carrying interest there are some almosts that we can do that will be fair, so we can make moves on the tax side, we can find savings. if the republicans can use growth projections, and my goal when we write this in the course of the next month is to try to get as near to that as we can. >> senator, how concerned are you about the gains we're seeing the dal bap now.
10:27 am
>> it's making me ask over the course of 20 years the united states spent hundreds of billions of dollars and lost so many lives in the mission in afghanistan. and the u.s. is not just trained afghan security forces, we're paying salaries for them. the taliban is about 50,000 or 60,000. they are losing rounds. or we want things for afghanistan that they don't want for themselves. the afghani population, the military, has to want to
10:28 am
succeed. if they don't have the desire to succeed, there is no amount of american troops that would help solve this. 20 years of investment to train hundreds of thousand is soflt. and we're accepting increasing numbers of special immigrants from afghanistan into the u.s. and advantage as we should. but we can't want this more than the afghans do. >> senator, we have late nights ahead on the senate on the budget reconciliation piece. i will see you there soon. >> look forward to it. >> governor cuomo remains defiant. this as his top aide resigns. an. this as his toaip de resigns

10:34 am
step by step education on impeachment processes from the state to federal level see days. we have not yet heard from the you dish year committee. but let's not mince words here. all signs do point in the direction of impeachment. the question is the timeline. we know by friday that's when the governor and his team need to present evidence. in my conversation so far it sounds like it will be at least another few weeks before we see articles of impeachment. we should know more about that process shortly and remember here in new york state once the governor is impeached he is stripped of his powers and the lieutenant governor will step in in the impeachment trial process.
10:35 am
the governor is finding himself more and more on an island by himself. the secretary governor had the highest position in new york state and that is significant as that list grows longer of folks distancing themselves from the governor. she was mentioned in that attorney general's report. mentioned about as many times as the governor himself. and then, garrett, the heat turns up even more with this interview. we read her allegations in the attorney general's report, but a different story to hear them coming from that interview, an emotional interview where she detailed some of the most egregious attentions. she claimed the governor globed her and grabbed her breast.
10:36 am
but to hear her in her own words, there, pretty significant and certainly turns the heat up and we'll see how it impacts what we hear from law marriages. >> people should not lose the significance of the derosa resignation. quickly, does cuomo have any allies left? is he a man alone here starting to fight what looks inevitable? >> certainly no one that we heard coming out publicly in support of him. every lawmaker that i folk with, and it has been many people on both sides of the isle, say they don't know a single peer of theirs against impeachment at
10:37 am
this point which they is a is simply extraordinary. there is consensus and there are the votes here to impeach from all of the lawmakers i have been attacking with. >> now to a update on the ongoing drama out of texas. those lawmakers won a court order to temporaryly prevent them from having to forcefully return to the chamber. they might be able to come hope and still block pass an of that new legislation of the 57 that travelled to washington, about 26 remain here. up next, a climate code red. a new warning about sustaining the planet before it is too late.

"many changes are reirreversible. this report comes as we're seeing an impact of climate change may out across the world in horrifying waves. wildfires in greece and circumstancy. earlier this summer extreme flooding destroyed towns and left hundreds of people dead. here in the u.s. wildfires continue to rage across the western parts of the country.

we'll talk to a california official in a minute, but first let's go to the u.s. where josh letterman has more on this report. what differentiates this report more. what pushes this to the next level? >> it goes further than any before it calling it unequivocal that climate change is now irreversible, severe, and widespread with effects that we can see right now in every part of the globe. i try fot to be too doom and gloom. while we can't completely sugar coat this report completely, but it says that it will be baked in

welcome back. as the u.s. military continues the withdrawal from afghanistan, the taliban continues to gain territory at a rapid pace. capturing the city of kanduz yesterday. the u.s. military was told to leave immediately and not rely on military flights. we have this report from kelly cobiella. >> there is fight in four of the fife biggest cities in afghanistan. over the weekend, three provincial capitals fell in one day alone and the biggest was
10:53 am
kanduz and a strategic city because of the links to the other cities, and the connection to kabul. and they say they have fighters engaged in door-to-door combat with the taliban, but yesterday on social media we saw scenes of taliban propaganda essentially of the taliban going into the government offices in kunduz, and the local officials told us that they did in fact have to evacuate the city, and they are hold up at the airport now. now, all sthof causing a massive flight of families and the people are fleeing the north trying to get to kabul, and it has happened so fast that many have had to leave with absolutely nothing, and leave all of their belongings behind. many of them desperately want out of the country immediately, and add to that the tens of thousands of people applying for the special immigrant visas, and the people who have worked with the u.s. forces in the past.
10:54 am
we spoke with a former interpreter with the navy s.e.a.l.s today, and he is part of the special immigrant visa program and trying to apply and he is frustrated and losing hope. take a listen. >> we are not safe, and we are about to get killed. the taliban are about to kill us. i saved many americans' lives, and right now they left me behind for the taliban to kill me. >> and he is not just worried for himself but three young sons and his wife who are also at risk for being killed by the taliban, and he is worried, garrett that time is really running out. >> all right. kelly, thank you. we have had some breaking news to report involving a report that we mentioned earlier in the hour about a vaccine requirement for the military, and nbc news has obtained a memo from lloyd austin saying that mandatory covid vaccines is mandatory for
10:55 am
all dod employees. so kobe cubii has this report. >> we know that all u.s. troops will have a mandatory vaccine effective mid-september or once the fda makes a full recommendation for full authorization for one of the vaccines is. secretary austin says in the memo is that the belief is coming in the coming weeks and which ever one happens first. we don't know much beyond that, garrett. i will say that this, if in fact the secretary asks for a mandatory covid vaccine for the u.s. military before the vaccine has full authorization from the fda, then the white house would have to issue a waiver legally for him to make it mandatory for the military. so it is a question of what will come first. we don't have a lot of the sort of the next-level questions of
10:56 am
what happens once this is mandatory. the biggest one being, well, what if a member of the military refuses to get this vaccine, and what would happen to that individual? that happened a lot after the anthrax vaccine was made mandatory for service members s under an emergency and not fully authorized by the fda and these are among the questions that we will pose to press secretary kirby in the coming minutes, garrett. >> okay. we are about to learn more. thank you, courtney. chuck will be back with more tomorrow at "meet with press daily." and we will return with yasmin.
