burgess: mr. speaker, today's rule provides for consideration of a bill to designate polyfloural acid and pfoa and pfas as hazardous substances under the comprehensive environmental response compensation and liability act outside the regular rule making process. this rule also includes a bill to overturn a recent supreme court decision on the federal trade commission's authority to seek monetary relief for consumers and the bill to ease restrictions and increase the cap on special immigrant visas for afghans. h.r. 2467, the pfas action act, has a laudable goal. to address the negative impacts of pfoa and pfas. these are man-made chemicals that have protch useful but potentially harmful. while they are often used in products throughout our world, there is evidence that certain types of pfas lead to negative health consequences. although there is bipartisan agreement that congress needs to address pfas contamination, this bill does not achieve that goal. the pfas action act would require the environ

burgess says that county leaders are still working to make sure those who need the vaccine still have access to it. >> at this point. she says it's not about fear but simply facts. >> even more concerning supervisor. burgess says that she does not believe that her county has hit its peak yet with this latest wave of cases. but she says as of now she does not believe that there will be a return to lockdowns or other restrictive measures that many of us saw during the height of the pandemic live tonight in the newsroom. jonathan mccall kron 4 news. thank you, jonathan. >> and in san francisco mayor london breed says the city will not hire. anybody who is unvaccinated nets, a new policy beginning tomorrow. all 35,000 current city employees will also be required to be vaccinated but not until the fda grants full approval to a covid vaccine. right now. the pfizer moderna and johnson johnson vaccines are only approved for emergency use. the california state university system says it will require everybody to be vaccinated before returning to campus this fall by september 30th a vaccination

i look forward to hearing from burgess and i will remember him -- remind my colleague i am not givingr super bowl ring back. i took it as part of -- of orientation. thank you for that. >> we are privileged to have three members of congress with greater knowledge about the subject. i would like to introduce them. congressman starving -- he has represented maryland since 2007. he serves on the house committee on energy and congress and the health subcommittee on the environment and public -- climate change. he has also served on the house oversight and reform committee. the subcommittee on government operations. he chairs the democracy reform task force, assembled hr1 the for the people act to strengthne our democracy. born in baltimore, he has experienced the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. he is the lead sponsor of hr406 4, the preventing election subversion act of 2021. congressman wins represents utah's fourth congressional district. born in the segregated south as a ranking member mentioned, he saw people of all backgrounds come together to work tirelessly against adversity

let's bring in republican congressman michael burgess of texas.gressman, thank you for joining us on the show. the vaccination rate in your area is 55%. do you think president biden's plans for stepped-up door to door efforts will help with vaccinating more people in your district? >> i'm not sure. i do think it has actually -- i've heard a lot of concern about that approach. look, our -- my main county, denton county, really went all in on providing a vaccination hub, starting really in january of this year. as soon as the vaccine became widely available, the county stepped up and the texas motor speedway, of all places, began a drive-through lengthy vaccination process which got a ton of people their two shots that were required. there was a vaccine portal that was easy to use on the county health website. so it has worked extremely well. i do know that i've heard from doctors' offices who would like more availability of the vaccine in their offices. i've heard from pharmacists who would like more availability of the vaccine in their pharmacies.

because burgess is a doctor. i respect him. i respect his service.see covid for what it is. he made multiple motions on the basis of it. he made motions to push the fda for a faster approval process. all right. so, don't lump everybody in together. all right? doctor, thank you for being back on the show. >> hey, chris. you know i ask myself the same question, why am i back on your show. but, look it's important to get the message out there. this is a disease that has evolved significantly. it is a bad disease, the delta variant is real. and it is hurting people. the good news is if you've had even moderna or the pfizer vaccine, maybe the j&j plus a booster shot, you are well protected against serious illness and death from the delta variant. and i think that's the message that people need to hear tonight. the choice is yours to be sure. i'm not a fan of mandates. i think mandates drive oppositional behavior. we certainly saw that in texas when the governor mandated the hpv vaccine and had a lot of resistance to it. and to this day i don't think there

vaccination party in this well these riots also led virginia's general assembly the house of burgesses to pass a law in 1770 that prohibited inoculation unless you got a special permit from the local magistrate and that effectively stopped. the inoculation process in virginia in 1777, the general assembly revised that law to allow inoculation if the majority of your neighbors within a two-mile radius agreed to allow you to inoculate and also if you maintain proper quarantine, so these debates in virginia led to legislating over the the status of inoculation and ability to practice variolation. so now let's pull back to a broader picture back from virginia and what was going on in norfolk in the late 1760s to the world stage again, and here we come to part two of how humans, eradicated smallpox and this brings us to vaccination. vaccination unlike variolation which used a bit of the smallpox virus and inserted that into the body of the patient. so that patient would build up. immunity to smallpox vaccination was a form of inoculation that used the cowpox virus rather than the smallpox v

the white house has been involved in forming a deal between a soho new york gallery owner george burgess and hunter biden to attempt to address any ethics concerns. two sources familiar with the arrangement say neither hunter biden or the administration will have any knowledge of who has bid or purchased the artwork. it will be kept anonymous. and, if there is any unusual behavior, like the offer price is too high, the gallery is expected to turn down the offer. >> the right answer here would have been to agree publicly to disclose the names of these purchasers to the public. the public could in that case could have tracked whether or not these buyers were getting pref preferenceal access in return for paying ex-orthese amounts. >> here's how i look at it. i said the foul line is 15 feet away from the basket. never get me closer than 17 feet. it really have a matter of public trust. >> reporter: today the white house responded to questions over the sale of hunter's art. >> after careful consideration, a system has been established that allows hunter biden to work within his profession wi

but let's listen together too representative, republican representative from texas michael burgess.st night about how to entice people to get the vaccine. >> i do know that i have heard from doctors offices who would like more of availability in their offices. i heard from pharmacists who would like an ability ever the vaccine in their pharmacies. places where people just to go and get care. they trust the information that they are given there. i think that's a more sensible approach than going door-to-door saying i am here for the government and i have got your shot. it might not work out so well. >> so what do you say to that argument that these door-to-door efforts may not be the best answer? >> well, what i'd say it's not either/or. i think it's all hands on deck to get as many people vaccinated as possible. in some places door-to-door may be effective. others, the congressman is right, that's where most adults get their vaccinations is the doctor's office or pharmacy. let's ton to use those mechanisms. i don't think one excludes the others. the problem is this. wherever we see
