vaughn, good morning. >> yeah, good morning, willie. there has been an increase in vaccinations in recent weeks, but with more than 100 million americans still yet to get the shot, the delta variant is continuing to surge across the country. this weekend, covid cases hitting another grim high, as students from arizona to florida head back to school. the u.s. now averaging more than 100,000 cases a day, double what it was just two weeks ago. thousands on saturday waiting to be tested. >> the last couple of days i haven't been feeling well. last night i had 102.zen fever. >> reporter: baltimore and durham, north carolina, are the latest communities announcing they will reimpose mask mandates beginning monday, requiring even the vaccinated to mask indoors again. but in south dakota, 700,000 are expected at the annual sturgis motorcycle rally. the event last year linked to hundreds of cases. and florida is now recording more positive cases than at any any school district that requires students to amy i about unmasked classmates. >> if there

>> i don't think there's an exact figure, willie.the tune of 6,000 of them. and we think it's probably in the low hundreds that are still there. there were also several hundred others that didn't want to leave. >> i know this is now a diplomatic mission as you all have said and this is for the state department but if those 200 or so americans are going to be extracted from the country, it would make sense there would be some military effort behind it. do you expect you'll have a role in getting those people out of the country? >> willie, right now i think the tools we have available to us and we'll use as a u.s. government is going to be more in the diplomatic, economic lanes and we don't really see a military role right now. >> so what does that look like? how does diplomacy get those people out of the taliban-controlled afghanistan? >> it's not completely unlike the way we do it elsewhere around the world. we have americans that get stranded in countries all the time and we do everything we can to try to facilitate safe passage and

>> good morning, willie.commander and chief than what we saw president biden do yesterday. one that hits hard for him he told aides because of his son beau, a veteran. not because he died in combat, but because of the sacrifice these families make. we are down to the final hours of the evacuation, the shift now is to scramble to get out as many americans as they can before the deadline. the messages went out over the weekend, warning people it was too dangerous at times to travel to the kabul airport because of the fear of more terror strikes. p we have had retaliations from u.s. military, drone strikes, the last 24 hours or so. but also messages now saying it's frankly too late to evacuate most of the afghan civilians, that they now need to, if they can't get out by tomorrow's deadline, find their own way, u.s. officials saying the taliban has agreed to respect the deadline, they won't interfere between now and then. we'll see. there's been debate as to how trustworthy the taliban is. but the threat by isis-

willie? >>> we were just talking about governor ron desantis of florida. the governor is now threatening to withhold pay for education officials who enforce mask mandates for students. a statement from the governor's office warns florida's board of education could narrowly tailor any consequences, citing salaries as an example for school board members and superintendents who require a mask. a school superintendent responded say, quote, you quote you can't put a price on someone's life, including my salary. it's one of the counties that has already issued mask mandates for school. this is just perverse, you're telling superintendents in school districts where there are outbreaks in south florida you cannot put masks on kids to protect them. >>> in our next hour we'll be joined by one florida school superintendent who is out with a new washington post op-ed entitled why our school district is defying florida's ban on mask mandates, even if it means we lose funding. look forward to that. >>> mor

willie?19, he said, quote, if we want right to matter, we have to make it matter. you have to do the work. you can't take anything for granted. >> amen. >> that is correct. that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >>> hi there. i am stephanie ruhle. it is tuesday, august 3rd. we've got a ton going on this morning, starting with the big milestone in covid vaccinations, amid a scary spike in infections from the delta variant. right now, 42 separate states are seeing new cases jump more than 100% in the last two weeks. in other words, they've doubled. a third of the cases are coming from two places, florida and texas. it seems like all of this is happening super fast, does it feel that way? because it is.

that's what happened here, willie. there was a group of, primarily marines, they were at the abbey gate, on the southeast corner of the airport, a place where a lot of americans and some afghan civilians and other third country nationals, the british, have been coming through that gate over the last 10 days or so. the marines were there screening individuals as they were coming through when someone exploded some sort of an explosive device, the assumption is it may have been a suicide vest and then there was an ensuing gun battle. the marines and u.s. military are still conducting these searches even today as we speak despite there. and there still are evacuation flights coming and going. general mckenzie and others are stressing to us, despite this horrible attack and deadly attack, despite that the evacuation mission continues. and, you know, it -- there's -- something else. you played a little bit of the sound from president biden vowing to retaliate here. that's something that i've been talking to defense officials

willie, a lot in the news as usual. >>> absolutely. in addition to covid-19, president biden is reiterating his defense to withdraw american troops from afghanistan. in a new interview the president argues some of the chaos we've seen was inevitable. we have a pair of reports from kelly o'donnell and then richard angle. >> reporter: a chilling assessment. the u.s. military does not have sufficient forces to rescue americans who cannot get to the kabul airport evacuation point. >> we don't have the capability to go collect large numbers of people. >> reporter: the u.s. is relying on the taliban to let americans and afghan allies pass through checkpoints to reach the airport. a risky journey. in an interview with abc news, president biden said he knew chaos was inevitable. >> we'll go back in hindsight and look but the idea somehow there was a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing i don't know how that happens. >> reporter: the pentagon says the pace of evacuations is improving but not adequate. pressed about stranded americas the

deborah willis collected these through her exhibit and this book shows how african-americans documented throughout the war to project stories of courage, family and citizenship to counteract prevailing stereotypes, and the national archives hosted this talk and provided the video. >> greetings from the national archives. i'm david fair owe, archivist, and it is my pleasure to present deborah willis author of "the black civil war hero." the civil war was the most prolonged conflict to be extensively documented in photographs. it gives aus sense of immediacy that we don't have from paintings and prints from the revolutionary war or other earlier conflicts. we can individual the individual faces and imagine ourselves in the battlefields in the aftermath of the fighting. thousands of those images are in the national archives burk photos of the black soldiers are rare. in the book "the black civil war soldier" deborah willis shows us the faces of the black soldiers who took up arms to fight for their freedom. using photographs and the written record, she examines not only the individual stor

>> that's a great question, willie.en because the jobless benefits are going to end in the early september and then people will face this question. of course, at the moment you have the overhang of the new wave and we have to see how that works. another factor is that last year people weren't working, they had more income because of the benefits and stimulus checks and spent less so there's $2 trillion of extra savings that people have in their bank accounts that they're at the moment spending, and as that number draws down, that would put another level of impetus on people to go back to work. and hopefully schools are going to reopen, so some of these concerns and problems of child care and so forth will go away. i think most economists feel it's going to be a gradual process. remember, millions of people have also dropped out of the labor force so they have to decide to come back into it, which is another process in another sense. so i think most economists feel it's going to be a bit of a slow process getting people

i think of the one cartoon of "willie and joe". they are walking through this blasted battle skate that looks like armageddon. and a branch of a tree there is a little flower that has bloomed. and willie says, spring is here! and that to me sums up mauldin with his whole approach. finding that little bit of redemptive humor. in a horrible situation. >> that's great stuff. so there is a critical day that we can say -- a crucial day in bills career. it is january 15th, 1944, todd. early pile plays a crucial war -- role in making bill mauldin famous, isn't he? >> i tell my students that ernie pile was read more than -- high rates of literacy in the thirties and forties. and the fact that bernie pile, he was indicated on with -- everybody read him. everybody read him during the great depression and when he went overseas to cover the infantry in the pacific and in europe -- for ernie pile to focus a column on you, i mean, it was to make you instantly famous. instantly famous. molten went to bed on january 14th and and obscured for strip

willie, right now, we have to fight covid like never before.d the game. unless we want to run the risk of going back to restrictions and having our freedom taken away, and people losing their jobs again, it's really clear what they have to do. people have to get vaccinated, and we had a long period where it was voluntary. there was incentives. it was compassionate and kind. but now it's time to get a little blunter about the fact that everyone needs to get vaccinated for the good of their family, their community, their country and a lot of people, i think, are close to that point, but they needed a little more of a push. here's a clearer message. we're saying, you want to go and enjoy great restaurants, amen. you want to go to movie theaters, go to the gym, that's great. we want all of that. you got to get vaccinated. you want to work in those places, you have to get vaccinated for the good and the health and everyone around you. it's not that tough to do. get the first vaccination, and you're in. come back later obviously, and get the second o

>> well, that's the big question, willie, what now?'ll continue to wait in the united states most of the time with family members while they wait for their court date. sometimes that can take years, there's a 1. 2 million case back log right now. at the moment, if you crossed at this very moment we're talking you would be allowed to come into the united states. but the biden administration is speaking to the government of mexico right now to figure out how to comply with the court order because it can't be a unilateral decision, it took a lot of negotiation from the trump administration to put this in place in the first place. what we're seeing from the mexican government on twitter, seeing people in charge of these relations with north america, they're saying we need to be at the table, too, we didn't have a party in had this judicial decision. so we'll see what happens between the two of them. but the biden administration is under an order to comply and they say they're trying to comply in good faith. the only people this effects rig

yeah, more than anxious, willie.been reporting about the frantic trump scramble in the waning day is of the election, at a time when he was maintaining falsely that the election ras fraud will bet in december or january he was trying to issue orders to have a last-second completely unprepared for, completely on the fly departure from afghanistan so he can claim that for his legacy as he walked out the door. i think that's indicative of how serious trump was of managing this process in an orderly way and i think that the fact that we have seen some number of trump administration former officials come forward now and point out that this entire thing that is whenever you want to say how joe biden handled this, if trump had been in charge of managing this, it's likely to have been even worse. of course, there has been incredible -- we had a thing on the recount the other day mike pompeo referring to the taliban as butchers. a bunch of people he stood next to and legitimized in the state department. so the hypocrisy is ex

willie?'s insistence, the military will be able to get all americans and allies out of afghanistan by the end of the month, there's a lot of skepticism about that claim, and it comes from both sides of the aisle, republican senator ben sasse of nebraska said in a statement quote damn the deadline, the american people are not going to surrender our fellow citizens to the taliban. americans want us to stay until we get our people out, and so do our allies, the biden administration needs to cut the stockholm syndrome. there's no reason to trust the taliban, they're violently blocking americans and our afghan partners from reaching the airport. and here's democratic congressman jason crow of colorado, he's an army veteran who served in afghanistan. >> it is not going to be possible to get american citizens out and our afghan partners and their families out between now and the end of the month. that's why there's broad and deep bipartisan support in congress and across the country to extend the de
