founders in the idlib area were skeptical about particular views on the bible, there was probably -- vivek legal skepticism. i'm a study, i believe biblical skepticism did in no way in biblical patriotism. the same people who were rather skeptical about structure, as authoritative in all word of god was true, and also use scripture, and understood scripture to made claims about patriotism, loyalty, sacrifice, morality. so, regardless of any kind of skeptical views of scripture of revelation, scripture was still politically significant. through the revolution -- -- it is a vicious cycle, we should probably go back and rewrite books. one of the things i see over and over through the civil war from both sides, and honoring the patriots, and honoring revolution, and honoring strict scripture goes hand in hand, as part of that there is a sense that the bible itself is the nation's book. , that the nation itself has a biblical kind of aura around it. they disagree radically about what this means when i see the bible became patriotically american, in many cases people see it as a patriotic book t

vivek murthy will require the public health service be vktd as the delta variant is surging across the country. hospitalizations nearly doubling every two weeks. many officials are running out of room in icu's. take a look at this map here, too. in little more than a month, look at how the country has transitioned into a high transmission area. cnn's jeremy diamond following the hhs developments with that announcement. so what more do we know about this? when is it effective. >> reporter: this is the latest move by the biden administration to move into the direction of mandates and of requirements. that is because they view it as necessary at this point to move from the carrots to the sticks phase of this vaccine vaccination phase here. this is going to be 25,000 workers, volunteers and contractors at the department of health and human services including the nih and the indian health service and the public health commission's core. and this is expected to go into effect by late september is what an hhs official is telling me. and listen to the reasoning behind this from the health and

vivek murthy. sir, the spring of 2022. people were hoping this was back to normal in the summer.w this is not true. but the spring of 2022 is a ways off. do you agree with that assessment? >> well, brianna, i think how quickly we get back to normal really do he pend on what we do in the weeks ahead. specifically it depends how we vaccinate people. keep in mind we have the prospect of the winter coming with increased respiratory diseases and we saw a lot of spread of coronavirus last winter. there is a big difference between last winter and the upcoming winter, which is that we have millions and millions of people in our country who are now vaccinated, who are protected against covid-19. so that is going to help us, but we've got to do more because there are still tens of millions who are not vaccinated yet. i'm encouraged, brianna, that last week toward the end of last week, we had three days in a row with over a million people getting vaccinated each day. that hasn't happened in a long time. but it's a sign that our vaccination effort is accelerating. we've just got to keep our

tonight's lightning round, the author of that column of the brand-new book just out this week, "woke inc," vivekto have you back. >> good to see you. >> shannon: tell us more. why do you think this president has demonstrated through his rhetoric that he may not have been the threat the taliban needs to seem to be? >> there is exactly one thing that would've prevented the catastrophe from unfolding this week in afghanistan and it was if the taliban believed that the u.s. was going use extreme force, possible annihilation or decimation in response to their bad behavior of reneging on their prior agreements, i don't think they would've gone for kabul. the new president joe biden wasn't that leader because he never issued that threat and even he believed he didn't have the moral standing to follow through because he is obsessed with self criticism of the united states. when you assess overstuffed criticism, you lack the moral standing as the united states. that's why we have the disaster that we did. >> shannon: i want to talk about social media. there's been a lot made of the fact there's many tali
