they had to put a jewel rag underneath anderson cooper and everybody is so excited in western media. they're so excited that cute was having trouble or like, oh and there's so many problems with the coverage that we're seeing. first of all, there's a ton of misinformation. they're leaving the fact that cuba suffers from an embargo, a really in humane embargo. when you look at a pandemic and they're kind of an important point. yeah. you know, they develop their own vaccine, but they don't have syringes. get it into people though. they're, they're suffering a lot from this embargo, but also we're seeing a ton of this information. this is a micro view of, of the region. so we're seeing a lot of protests in the region. so you can point, you can say, oh, there's a lot of problems with keep us government. but you could also say that about a washington line governments. the protest in columbia been brutal, has been going on for 2 and a half months. 70 people have died 1500 people nearly have been assaulted by the police. and if you count protest starting even earlier, it's gone on for years

cooperate? >> well, anderson, calamari is the chief-operating officer of the trump organization. filed those charges against the company and its cfo, two weeks ago, they've been focused on trying to get calamari to cooperate. here's the problem. we are two years into this investigation, anderson, and at this point, a source familiar tells me that they still don't have a cooperating witness inside the organization. and that's a huge problem for their case. we know the former president. he doesn't e-mail. he doesn't leave much of a paper trail. so, they really need someone on the inside of the organization who could reveal details about any, alleged-criminal activity. now, you may remember, when the charges were filed against the company, there was an unindicted co-conspirator. in our reporting, we have identified that person as the company's controller. he testified before the grand jury but they, still, don't have that key-cooperating witness and that's why mr. calamari is such a focus right now. >> and who is this calamari? >> look, he is a fascinating character out of trump worl

. >> jerome adams told anderson cooper he thinks the cdc needs to clarify the mask virus. the delta variant is changing things. is that something you agree with? would you like to see the cdc offer more clarity on what people should be doing right now given the delta variant? >> i do agree. i think right now the guidance is very much a blunt tool. what we need to do is have states and localities give them the ability to make decisions like implementing mask mandates, capacity constraints and things like that, especially for areas getting surges. when you are in the midst of a surge, which the hot spots are, you can't vaccinate your way out. you have to implement universal masking and other mitigation measures. >> you noted you are also a parent and a big concern that we are hearing on a daily basis when we go into the white house press briefings is they want to know when children under 12 are going to be vaccinated. there are questions about whether or not they should be wearing a mask. do you think kids should be wearing a mask when they're back in school? how do you feel

cnn's jamie gangel spoke about the revelations with anderson cooper. >> milley was so shaken by trump's behavior that what he did was he got together with the other chiefs, the navy, the air force, the marines and they planned -- they believed there really could be a coup attempt by trump. and they write milley view trump as, quote, the classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose. and then milley is quoted as saying this is a rife stag moment, the gospel of the furor. we've known people were concerned that trump wouldn't leave office. we reported that. to hear general milley say this, it is clear when you read the book, he cooperated. there are extensive quotes. >> and he comes off looking pretty good from what i understand. >> he does. and let's remember, he had his la fayette square very bad moment. >> which he apologized for. i believe he was in combat fatigues walking with the president from the white house to la fayette square. >> very bizarre moment. but to hear general milley say this is stunning. >> and there has already been strong reaction to the revelations in the book

the worst act of political violence since the civil war, says anderson cooper, and the media -- lincolne and insurrection or a citizenship laws with a civil war. the reason they are doing this is if they want a new civil war, but they don't want to have to fight it. they would rather just have a media campaign civil war that results in half the country being turned into confederates, statues torn down and tossed in the garbage can of history. this is preposterous and the most preposterous thing is that on january the 6th, half the respectable right went along with the idiotic democrat media narrative and help them weaponize it. >> tucker: they certainly did. i have to say this on human level, maybe as a citizen. if you are president, maybe the last thing you compare a contemporary political debate to miss the civil war. maybe the last phrase you ever use in his speech is "civil war." i'm not over saying, it's dangerous to talk that way. why is he doing this? >> well, because as a fed -- i think they're actually doing this to create the conditions where they can win how kind of cold civi

and that is different than when you turn on cnn and everybody sees a different version of anderson coopere putting your finger to your mouth like you have a thought. >> it's almost like it's fox & friends. >> don't jump ahead to. you think i'm kidding. that is what you call a long tease. what we are going to do that story. the other thing too is that i think once trump started hammering the phrase "fake news," which wasn't a new idea. but once it was coming from the white house and that he was doing it every day, it changed the media who then had to defend itself, but couldn't. speak of the whole thing is wonderful. the success of the show is truly wonderful. it's a reminder that we are not crazy, because for years, years, and years, all of these lead to the left. and then you are like okay, so i'm not crazy. and when trump was elected, the mask came off and cnn were just like trump junkies. those poor people who would watch cnn and really believe it -- today is the day they are going to get them. the walls are closing impute those poor people -- the adrenaline rush. they are not watching
