powering possibilities. good afternoon, everyone. i'm ayman mohyeldin in new york. nearly eight months into his presidency, joe biden is facing a confluence of crises both here at home and abroad. here in the u.s., it is the aftermath of hurricane ida which left a trail of destruction from the gulf coast all the way up to new england and the huge wildfires that have already burned hundreds of thousands of acres in california and other states out west. the president says these disasters show the need to step up the fight against climate change. >> got to listen to the scientists and the economists and the national security experts. they all tell us this is code red. the nation and the world are in peril. that's not hyperbole.

that is a fact. >> the president is also dealing with the aftermath of the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. dozens of americans and thousand of a gains still find themselves in danger because they worked with the u.s. they are still waiting to get out of the country, and tens of thousand of a gains who are able to get out are in qatar, germany and other countries all waiting to find out where they will go next. meanwhile, the taliban has formed an interim government that includes no women and a man on the fbi's most wanted lead. leading south carolina republican lindsey graham tells the bb krth u.s. may be far from finished with afghanistan. >> they are going to give safe haven to al qaeda who as ambitions to drive us out of the middle east writ large and attack us because of our way of life. we will be going back into afghanistan as we went back into iraq and syria. we'll have to because the threat will go so -- will be so large.

>> now overshadowing all of this is a resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic with the delta variant driving a surge in cases, particularly among unvaccinated people. that's once again overwhelmed hospitals. tomorrow the president plans to outline a new approach to deal with a crisis the country has been dealing with now for 18 months. joining us now to take a closer look at all of these issues, nbc news correspondent al soviet republic barber in manville, nounl and nbc news correspondent raf sanchez and anna palmer founder of punch bowl news and shannon pettypiece is live for us at the white house. great to have all of you. alison, let's start with you and the very latest there. when president biden visited manville yesterday to see the damage left behind by the remnants of hurricane ida, he did what he does best, and that is to show empathy and connect and compassion to those who are hurting, but he also promised the federal government would step in to do all it can to help

manville recover. people there obviously are convinced that they are going to need that help. is it renating with him? are they convinced that the government will meet their demands to rebuild after this storm? >> they soap so, but what we keep hearing people say is we need to see action, not just promises and formed to get the financial aid that they need that process needed to begin days ago. >> it's fine to come by. everybody comes by and say we feel bat bad for you, i'm sorry, but that's all good and well. talk is cheap. don't tell me anything you need don't tell me that. that's insulting me. i work hard for the little by the that i have so just tell me what you're going to do. >> and we spoke to him.

that man talk to him about house it's freighting from him when people of say what you need a we're standing around a restaurant that's completely gone. when people of keep something other neighbors what to do and he'll do it. do of what do they need? they need everything. poem with their bands -- homes are still standing. everything they own has really been damaged about frert, they don't know where they will gallon from here. they have never seen anything like this. family still have mortgages out on their homes and they say they need to figure out nowy will build or if they need leave. they need help but really need it very quickly, and on that i guess everyone is telling us time will tell. ayman? >> raf, let switch gears for a

moment and look at what's happening overseas on one of these foreign policy crises that we've been talking about, afghanistan. secretary of state tony blinken is coming back to united states. just completed a trip a trip to qatar and met with afghan refugees. how was that trip veefd? do we have any better sense of how of a fans and others are viewing the american withdrawal given the chaotic nature of the evacuation from afghanistan? >> reporter: yeah. ayman. secretary blinken was received warmly on a personal level, both the qataris and germans emphasized how important relationship with the united states, is but the situation is still very, you know, complicated, and the whole world has been watching how the u.s. left afghanistan, and the whole world is watching now how the u.s. government deals with this new taliban administration in kabul.

it's made up of the man the u.s. has been fighting for 20 years, some of whom are on the fbi's most wanted list for terrorism charges. secretary blinken's line on this has been the u.s. will judge this new taliban government by its actions, not by its words. ayman, i thought this was really interesting. he used that line in an interview with an afghan journalist earlier and that journalist pushed back very happen listing some of the actions that this government has taken already. >> we see some actions in the past three weeks. journalists are arrested and beaten. 14 towel lull. women protesters are beaten separating class rooms and shutting down local radio and even -- what else do you want do

see, planning for another 11. >> we'll see by its actions whether it corrects course on any of these incidents of abusive conduct. >> secretary blinken was very focused on the situation in mazar-e-sharif airport where americans and afghans are trying to take off. >> the first time in a few weeks and we heard from the exiled afghan president ghani. what else did he have to say and how things would go moving forward? >> after nearly a month of silence, his departure on august

16th was really the last domino in the collapse of the afghan military and the afghan state that the u.s. built for 20 years. he insists the reason he fled kabul was on the advice of a gan security officials who said if you don't leave there's going to be bloodshed in the street as the team fegts their way to the -- he also apologized saying he was sorry that this ended the way that it did. >> and afghanistan among many other things that will certainly be top of mind for members of congress when they start to return to work next week after the august recess. they will have an awful lot to deal, as i mentioned, before the end of this month. how many of a mess could all of this end up creating, not only for congressional democrats but for the president? >> yeah. absolutely. they have a lot of issues that they are going to be dealing with from afghanistan oversight. i think you're going to see both

republicans and democrats dig in on that. we also have government funding and some of this emergency funding from ida, from the storms that have happened and the fires out west that they are trying to put together in this government funding package that is in a very precarious position with both sides, republicans and democrats really just entrenched in their positions. it's unclear right now, you know, where they are going to be able to find some pathway forward on just keeping the lights on right now, much less this bigger reconciliation package that we've all spent a lot of time thinking about. it's going to be a mess of a september at the very lost and right now in terms of how it's going to play out we don't yet know. >> when you just take everything that we've been discussion and what this means for the white house, this is how it was put. ida offers something of a grem respite from the united states'

rocky withdrawal from of a which was doingnated the news and up like afghanistan biden bears no responsibility for ida's wrath and his visit to the greater new orleans and new york area allowed him to return to the more comfortable terrain of domestic policy. august seemed to have been a rough month for the white house. could the confluence of issues domestically and abroad as what anna was just laying out there for us help or hurt the white house as it tries to reset and get things back to where they want them to be? >> this was certainly not the august this administration had hoped for, and they certainly had hoped to go into september being able to focus on their domestic policy agenda. every administration runs into factors outside of their control, wet we are events, the ewrernlg men and whether or not the white house can get things

back on track has a lot to the do with how focused they are. this white house had a pretty good run controlling the agenda and keeping the external factors at bay and focus on what they wanted to focus on. i think the question going into september is be can they continue that focus as more events continue that are going to be outside their control? we don't know what the world has in store for this president over the coming months, but administration officials believe if they can keep the focus, if they can keep organization and the discipline, they will be able to manage the domestic agenda, the foreign policy agenda they want while also being able to handle whatever else comes their way. >> all right. thanks to the four of you for starting us off this hour. meanwhile, the united nations is warning of a humanitarian cries as afghans who one able to leave their homeland during last month's evacuations are now trying to flee to neighboring countries. many are heading for pakistan

which obviously shares a long board we are that country and is also home to nearly a million and a half afghan ref geez. nbc's foreign correspondent molly hunter has more from the border crossing between afghanistan and pakistan. >> >> reporter: i'man, we're at torkum crossing, and you can see the pakistani soldiers guarding the border and right other here you've got the taliban guards guarding the border. over there is afghanistan. behind me, hundreds of people, mostly americans waiting to get across. you see a group of people over here with a couple of women and children and come with me over here. this is basically the pedestrian walkway, so there are corrals of people you can see the pakistani military letting people in right here. we did get a chance to kind of yell some questions at the taliban guard over there. he says they have 20 serious medical says cases who need to get across. they are only allowed to get through who the pakistani

government will let in, people with all the proper documentation so that's an siv visa, a pakistan visa, a visa to somewhere else knowing they are not just going to be refugees coming into this country. pakistan, ayman, already hosts several million refugees and the government says they simply can't afford another huge rush of ref. and people back there, i'm not sure we're going to try to talk to them. i'm not sure if they do have documentation. i'm not sure if they are going to try to get in without documentation. we've been talking about another bothered crossing 350 miles south called the somewhatman border cross which is much more active. people coming in every single day, people without documentation and between the border crossings, ayman, people making irregular crossings, something that's definitely happening but according to the unhcr there hasn't been a question.

but this is a two darn think sweet, people getting there document and that's what we've been seeing going back and forth. >> thanks to our molly hunt they are on the border between pakistan and afghanistan. thank you. coming up, have attitudes towards muslims changed at all since 9/11? we asked a diverse group of muslims that specific question. we'll share with you the honest reflections of the last 20 years. plus, texas' governor defends the state's new restrictive abortion law saying the state, quote, will eliminate rape. we'll speak to a former abortion rights champion, former texas state senator wendy davis next. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin

. the nation's strictest abortion law has been in effect for one week in texas and democratic lawmakers on the house in the judiciary committee are calling on attorney general merrick garland to use the justice department to combat this ban. lawmakers urge garland to take action up to an including the criminal prosecution of would-be vigilantes attempting to use the private right of action established by that blatantly unconstitutional law enforcement joining me now is former texas state democratic senator wendy davis. great to have you with us. first of all on tuesday governor abbott was asked why he supports this law that would force a woman to carry her rapist's child against her will. i want to play what he said. watch this. >> it provides at least six weeks for a person to be able to get an abortion so for one it doesn't provide that. that said, however, let's make very clear.

many texas will work hard tirelessly to make sure we will remove. these cases by arresting them and getting them off the streets. goal number one in the state of texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape. >> but many women do not know they are pregnant at six weeks. talk about this kind of difficult position this puts poem in, especially when you compound this with a lack of appointment availability at clinics. >> yeah. it -- there are so many compounding factors here. first of all, governor abbott needs a lesson on a menstruating person's anatomy and awareness of when we recognize that we're pregnant. it's typically in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth week of our pregnancy that we realize it, and, of course, we know that 85% to 90% of people who seek abortion care in texas do not

know that they are pregnant or seek that care until after six weeks of pregnancy, so, no, they don't have six weeks to discover that this has occurred. secondly, i want to address his absurd comment about the fact that we're going to rid the street of rapists. number up, how in the order are you going to do that, and if you have a magic formula for it why haven't you done it her? number two,y with a few years ago had the largestback log, 20,000 of them, and i and other legislators really worked hard trying to make sure we're doing right by rape survivors and, number three, this texas there's a law we've been trying to change for a long time which currently allows juries to consider the behavior of the victim of a rape as though you

is that person has butts it on themselves, did they have top of to drink and the final point i want to make are rapists are not just strangers on the street. so many people are -- they are sometimes they are are we day and sometimes they are even people we're married to so the entire comment is absolutely absurd and in no way should it deflect from the crisis that we have in our state right now. almost all of our providers have stopped providing abortions even in compliance with the law out of fear that they will be personally made liable as a consequence of that, so where people are supposed to go in the limited amount of time that they might have to address the consequence of a brutal rape is getting smaller and smaller and

smaller. >> so, you know, obviously women with resources, time, money, they are still going to be able to make those appointments outside of texas, but talk to us about which women are going to be disproportionately impacted by this law. >> you know, this has been going on for years now, ayman, the impact of these anti-abortion laws are falling disproportionately on women who are of lower means and women of color, and it's always been the case, even before roe that people of privilege were able to find a way to get safe abortion services, so we have compounded law upon law upon law that have made it more and more difficult for low-income and -- and people of color who are predominantly impacted to seek those services, and i'm pleased there's so many people working from outside the state and inside the state to help people access that care

outside of our state right now, but that can never be the answer and it certainly can't be answer for one who has children at home and the who -- this just just simply is unaccessibleable and we've got to do something to put these protectsings in place and secure these protections everywhere in the country. >> i know south of the border mexico's supreme court has ruled reasonsly on tuesday that it's actually unconstitutional to punish women for getting an abortion. a significant step for a country that's predominantly catholic. what's the likelihood that texas women might travel to the four mexican states along the border where abortion is going to be allowed? >> you know. it's really unto the that maniable to me that we're in this situation.

simultaneously in texas, putting that law in place, a decision in a conservative countries has been made to decriminalize it and state by state by state in the country of mexico, each state will now make their own decisions based on what this supreme court decision hgs now allowed, and i expect that state by state by state they are going to continue to expand access to abortion and it may very well be the case that women in border communities to mexico find themselves traveling to that country for care rather than finding within the boundaries of the united states of america. >> incredible times that we live n.former texas state senator wendy davis, thanks so much for your time and insight. greatly a great >> thank you all. >> still ahead, a frank and moving conversation about what it's like to be an american muslim in the 20 years suns 9/11.

believed islam was more likely than other religious to encourage violence. now that number is at 50% according to pew research. joining me now is my good friend and msnbc anchor who sat down with a pam of american muslims to reflect on the last 20 years. so quite a conversation. what did you learn from this panel and what did they tell you about their experiences in. >> ayman, it was such an emotional conversation. some of the panelists tearing up and recounting the moments on 9/11 and how their lives changed so dramatically after that. it really was a turning point for so many people across the country and the world for so many reasons, it being so tragic and the downfall of the towers and the lives lost there and for these american muslims they had a different experience and the questioning of who they were and the safety of them in their own community was coming into

question in this country because of the rise of islamophobia and the collapse of the twin towers. i wanted to sit down with them and have a frank conversation about this em. >> i remember thinking i should go home and just feeling like fear. >> my wife goes down to ground zero for the next several days. >> wow. >> and sets up the first triage centers and the first pharmacies. somebody said to her, a fellow arab, said to her i would cover my name if i was you. >> at one point a guidance counsellor said to my face we don't want your kind here. you have to low of and i was there to ask whether i should in ap chemistry. >> throwing a birthdate party and my father in his 70s was assaulted by the neighbor and punched in the face. >> when people looked at me, they looked at the hijab before they looked at anything. anything people question anything that your son is a

national guardsmen and then to be a part of a family that has eight family mmps in the military. >> they see the way we look and the way we dress and often want an apology. >> each of them had a really personal experience, ayman, and it was astounding to me that they felt as if people didn't want to hear their stories, right, they didn't want to hear their stories as if it was inappropriate to share them or be them or believe the way that they believe, but the positive in all of this they feel this is a real turning point in our country, a reckoning not only with the debate over the teachings of critical race theory in cool but with the rising up of the black lives matter movement, they feel as if people are actually starting to speak out against things like racism and islamophobia to have more change in this country, but

it's going to take folks like those six muslim americans that i spoke to in sharing their stories right, their fears and triumphs to get to the next level. >> a very important conversation oftentimes forgotten as we reflect back on these 20 years. thank you so much for putting a spotlight on than and to continue that conversation is a u.s. marine veteran, founder of muslimmarine.org and a member of the council on foreign relations. it's great to have you with us. let's talk about your personal experience. what was your experience directly after 9/11, and how did things change for you? are they any better today or is it different? >> thanks very much for having me. 9/11 is an event that has essentially 19 hijackers hey

jacked the faith of 1.8 billion americans around the world and muslims around the world have had to sort of answer for those 19 individuals, those so-called muslims n.regarding my service in the marine corps, it also affected me dramatically because i went in just shy of 9/11, a year shy of 9/11 and i can speak for at least the experience that i personally had before and after, and after the 9/11 attacks are i wasn't seen by all ma reasons, we all bleed green, your religion, your culture, your background and after that event, that tragic event, some people, some marines began to see me as different, calling me things like taliban and bin laden and terrorist which wasn't very much of a fun experience as with a 19-year-old ma wleen had decided to give his life to his country. >> i know that a recent poll that you may have seen as well by the institute for social policy and understanding

statehouse in 2020, 50% of muslim families in the u.s. said their kids faced religious-based bullying at school and that number squares up with pew's data. i'm curious, has your family also experienced this. you talked a little bit about what happened to you post- 9/11 and broadly speaking among your family members in your community, has that tracked as well for you. >> yes. i actually wrote an op-ed last year in "newsweek," an experience that my son had shared with me in his middle school at the time and being called things like terrorist, bad ebb, taliban, all these different names which he hadn't told me initially and one day he broke it out and he said these are the sorts of things that i'm facing and then, know, it made me go and have a conversation with my younger elementary school son who started sharing

very similar experiences. these children of mine, i came to the united states from pakistan at age 6. these kids have not even seen pakistan. the only country they have ever seen is the united states of america, and for them to hear this sort of language, this sort of pain that they have to go through being described as someone different and dangerous was a rude awakening for me. >> i want to talk to you about what we're kind of witnessing right now and certainly the legacy of what's happened with issues of mass surveillance, wish use of suspicion among the muslim community and trying to get muslims to essentially cannibalize themselves when you're kind of spying on community. there is also the dynamic of what we're seeing with afghanistan and pew has noted this, that theis bammophobia is becoming more and more partisan over the years. you have a majority of republicans assuming islam encourages violence.

your reaction to that. does it surprise you when we now hear more people saying we don't want these afghan refugees or muslim refugees or putting ban on majority muslim countries as was done in the previous administration from coming to the u.s.? >> you know people often ask has it gotten any better? and january 6th, you're largely talking about the republican party, january 6th reinforced exactly what had been going on in the nation that people were anti-muslim, anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-everything essentially outside of anti-trump in that particular case and in those particular situations, i'm about an hour away from weese, about an hour away from the white house. i was emotional that day to see that these individuals, number one that they exist, and they make america unsafe for me. i don't feel very comfortable walking around in every part of american society. i can tell you just a few weeks

ago i was headed to the mosque. i'm of pakistani origin. i thought about going to an event and i was thinking of putting on park stanne gash and pakistani gash for those who don't know what it looks like because they are seeing images of afghanistan and the taliban, that with the exception of the turban and i thought several times before putting that on. should i walk out because of the perception that i would be perceived as and this is 20 years later after 9/11 has taken place and i'm someone who served this nation as a united states marine. >> it's an experience in this country no one in this country should have to live w.thanks for sharing your insights. greatly appreciate it. a quick programming note. tonight msnbc films and peacock presents "memory box, echoes 9/11." right after 9/11 a group of shellshocked people sat in a video booth and told their stories and now in this new and powerful documentary they are back 20 years later reflecting

on those comments. "memory box" airs commercial-free tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc and it will also stream exclusively on peacock. speaking of january 6. we have some breaking news on that front coming out of washington. the fbi is releasing new video regarding the person suspected of placing pipe bombs near the capitol the night before the january 6th riot. it is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of that day. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams joins us now with more on this from washington. pete, what does the video show? what more is the fbi saying about this case? >> reporter: investigators say they are don't know who did this and hope that the videos can show valuable tips. the first one shows the suspect walking up to and sitting down on a park bench near the headquarters of the democratic national committee. you don't actually see the person place the part-time bop. the bomb is planted later after this surveillance video, but you can seat suspect sitting down there at the park bench reaching

no a backpack and taking out what appears to be a phone. the suspect illuminated from the light from the cell phone as the suspect looks at the phone and puts it the back in the backpack and walks away. the suspect was wearing a face mask, gray heed, black and white nike speed turf shoes and glove in addition to carrying a backpack this. all happened between 710:00 and 8:30 p.m. on january 5th, the night before the capitol riot. the second video is a map showing the route that the fbi believes the suspect took from the democratic national committee on the left of the screen and the other bomb was blais placed at the rope can national committee. republican national committee on

first street and the democratic national committee building on national. you'll see the dot thereof person moving along and then the video, there's a version of this video that lays in previously seen surveillance videos of the suspect walking along those various places so there's i gather two versions of this map. one shows just the route itself, and you can see down in the lower right korean folger park and that's just a block away from the site. here's the suspect walking along those various routes. it's from followier park that the fbi believes that this person was based, although investigators now say they don't believe that the person was from this area of capitol hill. they obviously canvassed every house along the route and looked for every single frame of

surveillance video that they can find and they have been able to by looking at all these various videos figure out where this person was walking, where they came from and how they came to plant the to you pipe bombs. neither of the pipe bombs exploded and the discovery hours before the storming of the capitol pulled away many lawmakers away from the capitol and it was a distraction to law enforcement and it's not only a mystery of who this person was and i'm use the term person advisebly because investigators haven't say whether they believe it's a man or a woman, but one of the mysteries is these two pipe bombs made of metal pipe and what appeared to be ordinary kitchen timers, the analysts who looked at them say they appeared to be fully functional. they were made with homemade black powder so the question is why didn't they go off? >> right. >> and they have never been able to quite figure that out. what's the purpose of planning

them? they simply don't know because they don't know who this person was. >> about this video, do we know in terms of why it's released now? was it recently acquired by the fbi, or do we know if it was in their possession for some time amend they decided to release it now to get information? >> well, all of these videos they sort of follow the same function. when they get their hands on it, the first thing they do is analyze it and try to extract every last bit of evidence out of it before it's released publicly to see if there's something that can give them a gump on who this earn is. when they are satisfied they can't get anything mo out of it, they are hoping that they will see something new in this video, the mannerisms, the route they took, is there something that will strike someone as familiar and make them want to call the fbi? you can see the videos yourself on the fbi's website.

>> our thanks to pete williams with that breaking news from washington, d.c. pete, thank you. as always, i a i greatly appreciate it. tomorrow president biden will unveil a new plan to tackle the covid-19 pandemic as health officials across the country continue to battle the more highly transmissible delta variant n.idaho officials say they have started rationing care in at least ten hospital as their -- and will -- last week set a record last woke with 252,000 new cases. other in miami-dade county, florida's largest school district, more than a does school district moyes have died since mid-880 alone. being thanks you so much for your time.

i want to first get your reaction to the tonight that you've experienced. >> what can you tell us about the impact these incidents are having on your community? >> absolutely -- we're like a family school system and the fact that these losses expand the entire repertoire of the workforce to pass aides to bus drivers, it spares no one and the fact. . >> you think that's where the real tragedy resins.

it mission -- >> how do you make sure you don't lose anymore of your staff? i mean what, efforts are there? you see this is unavoidable, but what is it that you can do to prevent these deaths? >> actually i said i believe it is avoidable. >> sorry. i apologize. you're right. i just meant to say -- >> i think it is a avoidable and our strategy moving forward is continuing to embrace vaccination opportunities that are free of charge for all of our workforce members. we actually have mobile units in the university of miami and the health department to bring the resources to our school and continue to test individuals and vaccinate them. next, we're bringing actually to a skooshd meeting tomorrow a financial incentive for vaccination rewarding those people in the workforce previously vaccinated and providing those with an opportunity to cash it in on a

$275 financial incentive if they get vaccinated and then making decisions well informed by the cdc and public health. the social distancing, the technological disinfection of schools and the rapid investigation and contact tracing that we have in place and additional information to our communities on better ways prove texting themselves. i think the vast majority if not all of these cases were initiated not on school grounds. they took place before we started the school year and nonetheless it's a tragedy that's unfolding in our community? as you said it's an avoidable one out there. thanks for your time. >> thank you. joining me knew is the senior scholar at the center of public health at johns hopkins. what should school districts like the one we're just hearing about in miami-dade do to keep

everyone safe? >> they have to use all the tools that they have at their disposal. that means vaccination. that means masks, especially for the unvaccinated. that means better ventilation and trying to move things outdoors if you can and i real think that people should think about mandating teachers be vaccinated as a condition of employment. the priority has to be in in-person schooling. we can't let another school year be disrupted. we have to keep kids in school and we were able to do this, in many parts of the country before the vaccine. now it's even easier because we've got this tool. this has to be something that we allow the schools to have the flexibility to be able to operate and in places like florida where you have the state governor making it it very difficult for the district. that's not conducive to students learning and not having a disruptive school year. >> tomorrow president biden will once again give remarks on covid-19. broadly speaking what should his administration be focusing on at

this point in the pandemic? >> reepgt now there's -- it's going to be hard to the vaccine hesitant. i do think having rapid tests available, home tests for people to know their status and know whether they are infected or not, that's critical and this is an area where we've seen shortages and the drug store stock ow. some of niece resources where they are worried about capacities and the ability to load rate of -- so that they can get the care that they need. in the southern states as well as states like idaho and organize. we've been becoming with --

above thor shots were asked to be stopped for the rest of the year in order to help the world health organization? >> to me, i've always thought the threshold for boosters would be to see fully vaccinated individuals getting hospitalized with breakthrough infections, and that's not happening. i don't think there's a scientific case to be made for healthy people, not on september 20th, not at the six month or eight month interval. we need to show there's erosion of the protection of vaccine when is it comes to hospitalizations. >> interesting. you're certainly more plugged into the scientific community than i am, so is that common among other scientists that booster shots are not coming from a scientific data point? >> it is something we've been criticizing the biden white house for since this plan was

announced. i do think they're not going to have an easy pass because they have not provided data to show this is necessary and are undermining confidence in the vaccine. they're holding up really well. >> i appreciate your insights. thank you. >> thank you. right now vice president kamala harris is campaigning for governor gavin newsom who faces a recall vote in six days. what's at stake next. this couple loves camping adventures and their suv is always there with them. so when their windshield got a chip, they wanted it fixed fast. they drove to safelite autoglass for a guaranteed, same-day, in-shop repair. we repaired the chip before it could crack. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust, when you need it most. ♪ pop rock music ♪ >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ as someone who resembles someone else...

since suzie's got goals, she'll want a plan to reach them. so she'll get some help from fidelity, and she'll feel so good about her plan, she can focus on living it. that's the planning effect, from fidelity. so with less than a week to go before california's special election, vice president kamala harris is in california today campaigning with governor gavin newsom in an effort to hold off a major political upset, opponents of governor newsom began collecting signatures. calls grew louder after the governor was seen attending a dinner at a luxurious restaurant at a time when officials were asking residents to socially distance and avoid gatherings. jacob, it's good to see you.

what are the stakes beyond just california? >> reporter: ayman, the vice president has just taken the stage behind me, a fierce and stark line between the politics in texas and the politics of her home state as a daughter of california here in the golden state. the stakes here could not be higher for democrats not just here in california but across the country. california is a political bellwether for all sorts of progressive politics everything from emissions, electric vehicles. all of that was created in california. that is why the 46 candidates on the recall ballot are such a concern to gavin newsom. he spoke before the vice president and talked very openly about larry elder, the presumed front-runner of the possible recall candidates. governor newsom drew a line

talking about how mr. elder calls climate change a hoax. and describes his attitude about women. it is the strangeness of the california system, that he would have no chance in a general election but is on the lips of the governor here. plus the local roots of the vice president behind this national effort to keep governor newsom in office. >> i know the vice president is there. any sense whether the president will head out and campaign for governor newsom in the next couple of days? >> reporter: rumors are swirling that he may make an appearance on the west coast before tuesday, the day of the recall election itself. the national democratic strategy is on the line. the governor of california would

be in place to replace dianne feinstein should she, god forbid, pass away while in office. the vice president may bring the president here, showing what a national competition this state recall is, ayman. >> one of most important political efforts under way. jacob ward live. that wraps up the hour for me. i'll see you back here tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. eastern.

hi there, everyone. it's 4:00 in new york. the impact of the near complete ban on abortions in texas is already a painful reality for the untold scores of abortion refugees as they're now being called, forced to flee their home state to exercise their right to make choices about their body where it's legal. texas governor greg abbott, the champion of the bill, who may be staking his political future, his political ambitions on the fight surrounding it failed to address the central concerns raised by abortion rights advocates and failed to convey a basic understanding of the facts surrounding abortion and pregnancy. here are some of those comments ripe for a fact check.
