mask up again. indoors. so if you're suffering from mask related acne ask me it might not be going away anytime soon. but our health expert karen, a walk is here with some tips to help prevent and cope with this side effect of wearing a mask. karen, we talked about this a little bit last week. i thought we'd be able to talk about what to do now that we don't have to wear them anymore. clearly that was a bit of a pipe dream for us with all these recommendations coming back. it's important to ask me is not new, though, right. that's right. professionals and have been wearing that have to wear a mask pretty much. >> most of the day they've been suffering from this. but because the dental public is now having to wear a mask for long periods of time. they understand what we did suffering with all these yes, we definitely do. it's kind of the this area here that we're all kind of all of a sudden realizing, you know, we spend the entire day with the mask on. we take it off and then, you know, we see that w

first they said don't wear a mask, wear two masks, then take the mask off. americans got vaccinated, we would get our lives back, and we did, thanks to operation warp speed and the past administration. but they also hate about hypocrisy when you patriotic your own rules it's like telling america you can't get your hair cut but you get caught on camera because you do. you tell people don't go out to dinner but in my same state, the governor went out to dinner. a lot of people. today, the speaker who didn't know her own science and said names to people, broke her own rules. twice i saw her speaking in a crowded room without a mask. the mask mandate is not based upon a study. based upon a study in india, based upon a vaccine that isn't approved in america that didn't pass peer review. could this be a plan to keep our schools closed? and worst of all, this administration and now this house has broken the country's trust. one size fits all. you know, if you read your c.d.c. recommendation, said you only should wear the mask if you are in a hot spot. i'm sure the

[indiscernible] reporter: in may, it sounded like getting vaccinated was losing a mask. president biden: that was true at the time. they're getting vaccinated may make a difference. what happened was a new variant came along. they didn't get vaccinated. >> i'm j. stephen morrison where i head up csis's work on global health. this events is -- event is spo

he said we should wear no masks, then one mass, two masks.nated now you should wear a mask because the delta variant is fact. everyone who missing this is crazy, i don't trust these people anymore. >> jason: that is the problem. covid is real, it is deadly, you've got to tak i seriously about the messaging coming out of the biden-harris white house is absolutely just stunning in nancy pelosi, wear a mask, then not wear one, it's just unbelievable. joe concha, thank you. coming up, more left-wing hypocrisy from the biden administration, who is begging americans to take the covid vaccine while migrants freely flow over the southern border. we've got answers through texas attorney general ken paxton who will join us next with reaction. why are democrats obsessed with public health that ignore public safety? larry elder and joey jones are coming up next as the special edition of "hannity" continues.

he is talking about wearing a mask not wearing a mask.he average american supposed to dissect all this, this mixed messaging? >> they can't. too difficult to digest. the cdc has put out recommendations that say one thing one day. something very different the next day the american people are -- they have given up on following our nation's leadership on all of this because it's too confusing. no one is more confusing than president biden on all of this. americans want to move forward. they understand that with covid brings challenges, but the science backs up dropping the mask, quit masking our kids in schools, lift the mandates on businesses and let america get back on track. don't hold us back. that's what democrats want to do they want to hold us pack and remask us and shut down businesses, shut down schools. that's what's coming from these democrats at this point because they love the power that comes with these mandates. jillian: we want to get your opinion on this real quick before we go. house republicans have a new call for wall con

masks.ng us he never flip-flopped on masks. youtube better delete all of the previous videos or we will have trouble believing tony fauci. the bottom line whether you believe fauci or not this is confusing. this administration told us they are in charge of our health and fighting this global pandemic. they are not doing a good job of explaining what the science is. they are doing such a bad job that even kamala harris doesn't know what she thinks. here was harris just yesterday contradicting her own administration's guidance by explaining once you get vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask. see if you can spot the clue that kamala harris doesn't believe what she is saying as she says it. >> people need to get vaccinated. it's the only way we are going to cut this thing off. nobody likes wearing a mask. [muffled audio]. get vaccinated. >> tucker: you don't have to wear a mask if you are vaccinated says the vaccinated lady who is wearing a mask. does your head hurt yet? it might be easier to

trying to force mask mandate again.s unjustified in my opinion is just unfortunate we are getting so many mixed messages and people are totally confused and especially in our school systems. >> bret: missouri governor talking about going forward and what's coming out of the federal government. we're back with the panel, byron, trey and harold. trey, missouri governor, you had the florida governor ron desantis saying kids in florida will not be going to school with masks if he has anything to say about it. he does, obviously he is governor of the state. what about this battle back and forth from some of these state governors and where does that go? >> it would be a fascinating legal issue on masks. i think it's uncertain whether president biden can order masks nationwide. i think on vaccinations it's a little more clear. the states can order veeptions twice that matter has been before the the supreme court. twice confirmed states can order vaccinations i don't think the federal government can. i think we will be right ba

to wear mask coverings. we can talk about conspiracy theories. it's very direct misinformation, not just conspiracy theories, it's misinformation being proffered by the ron johnsons and the vast majority or roughly republican house members. it's folks like tucker carlson. these guys on the right. we need to be more direct about this. we need to call this out. we have live saving vaccines. that's abundabundance. we need to be a little more aggressive in this space and call out the misinformation that is being proffered by certain groups. >> it's something we do hear every day. >> the first state to take a bold step. >> specifically on misinformation. i apologize if that question wasn't clear. >> i've got a team of people battling in the trenches to address the issue of misinformation and hesitancy. we partnered with 480 community based organizations to push back against the misinformation. we're looking at social media sites. we're looking at what's going on on people's platforms. all stripes of platforms. we

i think if you're going to consider wearing a mask, the quality of the mask does matter.f you can get your hands on a k.n.matic m n.mask or an n5 mask, that would be good. now there are plenty of masks. the biden administration has done a got job ramping up the supply. i would encourage people to try to get their hands on a better quality of mask. and the final piece of advice i would give is: if you are vaccinated, can you still spread the virus? we had pretty good data if you were vaccinated, you were far less likely to transmit the virus. that's probably still true, but if you are vaccinated and you do develop an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic infection, there is probably a higher chance you can transmit because there is just more of this virus. so if you're around vulnerable people, if you're taking care of a newborn born or an elderly patient, if you don't feel well, even if your vaccinated, you should probably get self checked out. >> dickerson: do we have a handle on this delta variant in terms of how much there is? and some of the questions you just raised --

if americans see legislative members are wearing masks they'll be prompted to wear masks as well.itol police issued their own order. the members in the house have to follow that order as they see fit but really to walk around without a mask is just reckless. why are people so comfortable not wearing the mask when we are still in the middle of this pandemic, the cdc has recommended that even if you are a vaccinated person you still should wear a mask in some cases and some places and we have to remember there are at least five states in this country that have republican governors where numbers are rising with covid and so i think that this is a good thing that the speaker is doing. >> it does not hurt to wear a mask if you are indoors and in really crowded places, there are breakthroughs. it's 0.03% of the 160 million vaccinated. >> julie, there was a man in the white house who said the cure can't be worse than the underlying virus. we went from 15 days to flatten the curve talking about arresting vaccinated people in the capitol building who are not wearing a mask. this is ludicro

you all put masks, masks up front here? which is it? vaccines or masks?masks work or don't work. >> reporter: house republicans also held a tense meeting with the house attending physician, dr. brian monaghan. sources in the room telling cnn they grilled monaghan on whether he was pressured by democratic leaders to institute the mask rule. monaghan insisted he wasn't pressured, the sources say. still, the debate over the cdc over did guthe guidelines has ny gotten political in washington but gotten personal. speaker pelosi saying, quote, he's such a moron. slamming the gop minority leader kevin mccarthy saying new calls for mask-wearing are, quote, not a decision based on science. mccarthy fired back at pelosi accusing her of politicizing medicine and outright hypocrisy. >> i watched her today in a private meeting not wearing a mask. >> reporter: on the first day of new mask requirement of the house, at least 24 republicans seen openly defiant including congresswoman lauren bobert. >> we know science is real. >> reporter: bobert threw a mask at a house st

mask on or off? 0n. always. mask on, mask off? yeah.to jump off on terminus day but others are concerned. these three are all used to the kind of restrictions some here have come to view as tyranny. from where i come from in singapore, it is actually illegal not to wear a mask outdoors. they send out robots to catch people not wearing masks. when i came to manchester and i was told that you didn't have to wear a mask outdoors, i felt illegal. so in hong kong, even outside of a pandemic, people will wear masks, just as a sort of courtesy... it's just a common courtesy. ..to stop spreading their illness around to other people. i want to read you this tweet that went viral a couple of days ago. "0njuly the 19th, i will not socially distance, i will not wear a mask. you are free to do those things or hide at home if you want but you have no right to demand that i cower in fear with you, life is for living." what do you think of that? i think there is a difference between precaution, taking precautions and living in fear. very interesting. i

a mask.d people wear masks. >> the american family of pediatrics says children under the age of 12 should be the ones wearing masks, do you agree? >> especially if they are indoors, indoor settingsde bringing them into stores ors restaurants. to those kids, obviously, need to keep masks on when they are in public places, particularly when they are indoors. >> think about the indoors as a risky environment. if you are going indoors with children and stare in a setting where they don't have knowledge of who's vaccinated and who'srss not, like other kids, you should have them wear masks. i found that kids are actually okay with wearing masks. >> tucker: i found that actually kids are okay with masks says someone identifying as a physician. that was the level of science behind this policy. they don't know any better, you can make them do anything, so we did. they had no idea what they weree talking about, there was no science behind what they said,. they were just guessing andth acting like it wa

we're not against wearing masks. i wear mask, everybody wear masks. we need people to voluntarily wear masks. we have no power to enforce what the county health department talking about, mandate this and that. we want people to volunteer for their health, to help their family. the trust has to be there, the science, the proof. we need to give people transparency about their information. we know what issue we have. we have the trust because we get elected. we have accountability and responsibility to our community. >> you're such an interesting case because you guys have done it right. you have brought down cases. you have a high vaccination rate. so i take your point that it shouldn't be one-size-fits-all, but it will be interesting to see if you are allowed to set up your own health department there. >> we'll do what we can do. >> we will be watching. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. >>> still to come, attorney general merrick garland is on his way to chicago to promote the justice department's new anti-gun trafficking initiative. >>>

most of their customers are wearing their masks anyway. the new recommendation is stricter than the current guidance, which says that it's okay for fully-vaccinated people to take off masks indoors, but it is looser than what los angeles county is doing which is mandating everyone wear a hafx inside a public business. joining us is dr. susan phillip. the cdc not making the same recommendation. hospitalizations are not that bad, why do we have to move in this direction of asking people to mask up again? >> well the reason is because cases are going up sharply across san francisco and the bay area as we just heard. and we don't want to wait until, it takes a couple weeks for hospital rates to go up, we don't want to wait until that time. we want to avoid having people going into the hospital and getting very sick. >> one of the things by the statement, the joint group of health officers, was that the vaccinated people needed to wear a mask to protect the unvaccinated. what exactly does that mean? and there are a lot of people that might feel

without masks.here are many other populations - in without masks. absolutely. there are many other populations are - in without masks. absolutely. there l are many other populations are going to be really worried about this. there are clinically vulnerable groups that can't have vaccines. i know people have blood cancers, and they're very concerned about this at they're very concerned about this at the moment. so it's a weighing up of things. a decision has been made that the majority are going to have certain freedoms and certain things will be optional, which is going to be difficult for a minority of people. i think the i goes into this, most of the papers quote this if not now, then when an idea from borisjohnson. but there is a win, which is in september, when all adults will have been offered both jabs. the idea that we have to do this now, otherwise we will be pushing it into the winter, it's not going to be incredibly cold. we don't have to do it now. this is in many ways boris johnson don't

masks are helpful, and i think our public

you don't have to wear a mask. places people are probably going to have to wear masks in those communities where the high rate of unvaccinated stays high, and they don't move. they don't move to getting vaccinated, but i think you're going to find the patience of businesses and the patience of a lot of other people running thin because the fact is if you had high vaccination rates, we wouldn't be in this spot right now. yes. >> mr. president, will this set up an american workplace for federal workers and private sector that really is the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated, and is that a pressure you're trying to harness now? >> i'm not -- look what i'm trying to do is keep people safe. i mean that sincerely, so if, in fact, you're unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself to your family, and to those with whom you work. because as pointed out, i was asked a question why would people who have already been vaccinated get it? you've got anywhere from 2 to 3% on average the last study done that can still get covi

the mask mandate has been lifted.t just makes me very apprehensive. >> reporter: katie nash is a teacher near phoenix, arizona. >> so here is my classroom. >> we've lessened some of the safety precautions that we had been taking. we are not cleaning desks in between passing periods. and my big fear right now is this delta variant. but also the number of people that are still not vaccinated. >> go ahead and get our bags ready for -- >> reporter: it's more than just her health on the line. both katie's young daughters will be returning to school this week too. one is immunocompromised. >> it's our last weekend before school starts. >> reporter: despite the recent rise in cases, arizona like many other states will not require kids to wear masks at school. that decision falls on the family. >> kailee, are you nervous about being the only kid at school who's wearing a mask? >> kind of. >> kindar. >> reporter: in tucson some kids went back to school today, masks optional. some educators are embracing the return to prepandem

you believe that masks work?p then is then what should you do to stop the spread of the virus? but if you're starting with, well, maybe the mask works, maybe it doesn't, i think the rest of what you have to say is moot because we have to start with a science base. we have to agree on the facts. >> are you finished, victor? do you want to hear the guests speak or just you give the talk? the answers are simple. excuse me -- >> go ahead. >> we live in a constitutional democracy. we do not have government by doctors meeting in conference rooms at cdc and issuing press releases. cdc is an adviser to the government. >> yes. i understand that. >> let me finish. it should issue studies and congress and legislature should take this up. we do not have government by private conference room and governors making judgments based on four or five unknown doctors in cdc headquarters. that is not how our constitution works. >> these are not unknown doctors, first of all. second, the police powers given to the government allow them

don't ditch your mask just yet. masks are back in the bay area. the recommendation to wear masks indoors once again. good evening, i'm alan martin. >> and i and elizabeth cook. just when we thought we were in the clear, bay area counties now recommending everyone wear a mask indoors. here's the overview. the peak of this graph shows covid cases at the peak of the epidemic. now we are much better today, but the concerning number is that seven-day positivity rate, now 3.7%. this time last month it was below 1%. >> let's get right to juliette goodrich, live in downtown pleasanton with how this new mask recommendation is going down. >> a lot of people caught by surprise. they thought it was just southern california. now this mask is a re

or no mask. it's do you require vaccinations are not all that too. in those schools with the little kids k through 12. remember, the state said. >> they don't have to be the action every us wear masks as they can't get the vaccine just yet. so right. ask ok, well, the older kids that you see all of the students and all of the staff have to be vaccinated before they can go back to class. you proper. sarah stinson has more on the story for us. joining us live from u c berkeley this morning. sarah. >> yeah. this is big. i mean, the use the system is the nation's first public university system to mandate the vaccine even when it's not federally approved fully prove the shots arts. and so this is a big decision by the u c system all to prevent the spread of it on campus this fall. of course, this is at a time when the delta variant is spreading amongst younger months, unvaccinated people. so on campus here, it's a pretty sparse old people on vacation. it is summertime, but this fall, students, faculty

my kids will be wearing a mask. even though they will have antibodies at that point, you do not know if you could get it again. they will be in kindergarten,. jacob will be going into first grade. they will wear masks whether it is mandatory or not. that is very important to us. i continue to wear a mask as a vaccinated person. i have yet to not wear a mask in a public place, even before this happened. >> you have said on social media that vaccination is a personal choice, but given what has happened, what you hope is the choice the people will make? >> i hope the choice of people make is that they think about others and not just about themselves. a person who snowballed this affect said, crying, i was so selfish to think that i was only thinking about anyone else around me. i made a personal choice for myself. i need to fix that and they are going to get vaccinated. that they need to think about everyone else i come in contact with. that is my message here. i just want everyone, you walk out that door, your front d

not all kinds want to wear a mask. not all kids can tolerate a mask. kids have anxiety with masks.ou're spreading covid. studies show less than a 1% chance of children in school spread covid from one to the next. if they get sick, they get a mild case. so we shouldn't be putting the burden on our children. should be on the parents to get the vaccine and teachers to get the vaccine. >> john: there was an article in the canadian medical association journal that said masks may not be necessary for kids. compared with adults, children that tested positive for covid were less likely to grow virus in culture and had higher cycle thresholds and lower concentrations suggesting that children are not the main driver of covid transmissions. so if they're not the driver, why the mask? >> you brought out a favorite word there. cycle threshold. they almost can transmit it. they have so little virus in their nose if a cycle threshold is high, they can't transmit it. the answer to the question to be fair, with the delta variant, things are changing and more transmittable before. someone like me mi

the cdc recommend community leaders push vaccination and push masking up, finally the new guidance as all teachers, students, staff and visitors k-12 schools should wear a mask regardless of vaccination status that will affect the fall school, this is opposite of what the white house is saying the past few months as they try to get americans vaccinated. the goal for the administration was 70% of americans having one shot by the july 4 weekend here we are almost august, 69% of the population 18 years and older has one shot of the vaccination and has not met that goal white house press secretary jen psaki saying the cdc guidance reflects the changing virus with the delta variant she also defended that the president is not sending mixed messages anything get vaccinated and loser mask. >> not today while the virus hasn't been vanquished he made clear that it was not over that those are hung vaccinated were still at risk he made clear that you were protected from serious illness, hospitalization if you are vaccinated. >> these are recommendation, some local governments have mandated masks

i want to talk indoor masking. the cdc and caliper to public health officials are not ready, they're not suggesting this at all, but as you w.o. counc heal officials l.a., th all recently said you have to put your mask back on indoors again. even if you are vaccinated. do you think we might see a widespread return to indoor masking this fall? >> kristen, i'm already seeing it in the bay area and california. san francisco, anyway. if you go into a crowded trader joe's or cosco, most people are still wearing a mask it. and if you go into something that is less crowded, i would see potentially fewer people wearing masks. so what it means is that people are sort of making that risk assessment on their own, even if vaccinated. the reason why is there two reasons, one is that you want to protect potentially the unvaccinated from transmitting to them. even if the virus lends a new, you don't get sick, but the second reason is to have been more reports of people with vaccinations getting mild disease, of course they're not

disney changing their mask rules. are the masks back?on status if you are over the age of 2. this is disney world in orlando, hi vaccination rate, disney rate and anaheim, that is california. stuart: there are some other companies going back to mask mandate requirements. >> ford for workers and visitors in florida and missouri. if you're working a plant you probably don't want to have a mask on and requiring employees to travel overseas get vaccinated. that is requirement. citigroup, all employees at us offices have to wear a mask in common areas, in the elevator, not when you're sitting at your desk but this is interesting because a big push to get vaccinated and get their culture back, take the mask off. morgan stanley, every single workers vaccinated. if governor cuomo follows governor newsom and says indoor masking as well. are those vaccinated people getting the culture back at bank of america, and jpmorgan? stuart: fair question. if governor cuomo insist you've got to wear a mask indoors. he has not said that. what about lift? they

we no longer have to worry about masks outside.ill, of course, follow the appropriate hygiene as we always would, but distance learning is still being offered as a separate independent study program, only a few 100 students in each of the districts we surveyed are choosing that option. the rest plan to come to class even if it's with mass. it will be different in that way. but everything else is what was and we are so excited to welcome our students. even with the delta very in health officials are recommending schools open in person, but rules and requirements could change. change as long as covid remains a moving target. rob roth, ktvu fox two news, the los angeles unified school district will require weekly testing this school year. the new mandate applies to all students and employees returning for in person learning, regardless of vaccination status. previously the district was only going to require those who are unvaccinated to get tested. administrators say this move aligns with recent l, a county guidance medical teams will

>> most of our customers are masking anyway. christie smith, nbc bay area news. >>> today's recommendation to go back to wearing masks inside almost feels like it is 2020 all over again. it was june 18, 2020 when governor newsom announced mask mandate across the state to slow the spread. that lasted a full year until last month when the state dropped the mask requirement as cases were dropping and vaccinations rising. four days ago, the state announcing kids returning will have to wear a mask when they're on campus. >>> ucsf reinstated their mask mandate in an e-mail to staff. ucsf have seen an uptake in covid-19 cases as the delta variant spread. it is unclear how many students or staff tested positive. >>> anger and frustration over covid-19 misinformation boiled over at the white house. it became yesterday when the surgeon general spread misinformation. a reporter asked president biden about the issue today and got a blunt answer. >> what is your message about the variant. >> they're killing people. the only pandemic we have
