gottlieb, that the u.s. should be considering mandating vaccines on a political level?you think it's just something that will have to be done by private companies? by schools by individuals to sort of suggest they only want to be around vaccinated people, or is this level quite impressive >> i think the biden administration has actually leaned forward on this, implementing mandates on federal levels where they can, the military, mandating vaccines, using tools to effectively mandate vaccines in a nursing home setting so i think where they have the opportunities to try to incentivize or even compel vaccination, they're taking advantage of those opportunities. mandating vaccines at a federal level would be tricky. historically issues of medical practice have been left to the states the federal government has not regulated the practice of medicine the federal government makes recommendations to the states, which are free to interpret those guidance that's how medical practice has historically been made more likely by private business and local governments, i don't think th

gottlieb, your guidance is always appreciated. good to see you. guad venegas, sounds like first day back in classrooms, masks and covid testing required for everybody. >> reporter: exactly masks and covid tests. par parents and kids happy to return to school. they've been waiting at home lot of parents saying finally the kids were able to get out and see their friends and go back to what teaching was like before this massive testing campaign or massive testing effort all across lausd is going to require that they test 100,000 people per day. you have about 600,000 students plus 75,000 members of the staff. this includes teachers at lausd the schools will be testing on campus once a week they're investing a lot of money. earlier we spoke to one of the principals who told us she's confident the system is going to work. >> they scan their student id, they go into the tent and get tested we did it in the spring and it worked great stu students were champs it's so quick. we can test a class in about ten minutes. >> reporter: the principal was also talk

gottlieb president of the fda no one even know -- they're a black box -- he was fda, but now just head of cnbc medical. >> whatever title you want to give him. >> an adviser. by the way, can we just point out that who did he advise the region cruise lines. everybody listened to him. he advised frank del rio it's sort of an odd -- he sued to have the ability to test everybody. >> not only test, but require them to be vaccinated. >> not have any kids, either >>> we're going to discuss the judge's decision in that case, but as for gottlieb, he talked about this wave that could get the to populationwide exposure. >> we're talking about a brief period of time really where we are going to need to take these precautions. i don't think covid will be epidemic all through the winter. i think this will be the final wave assuming we don't have a new variant, infecting the people who refuse to get vaccinated, and we'll have it stop circulating at this level, this rate. >> and then jim tweets -- covid will peak. >> i don't know if the people who -- my column has been hijacked by the anti-vaxers, but

former fda commissioner scott gottlieb thinks the wave of infection could pass quickly. infectious disease expert michael osterholm said something similar, we may see a fast drop of infections in september. how long do you think this will last? >> well, we don't know because when you look at different countries, they tend to be more homogeneous. the united states compared to the uk is very spread out. when you look at this pandemic, it has never hit the entire united states at one time. it's always hit us in regional pockets. one of the things about this delta variant that dr. gottlieb refers to is when it hits an area, it hits it hard, it hits it fast, and you may be achieving a temporary herd immunity very quickly in a certain area just because everyone is getting it. you heard admiral giroir say you're going to get the vaccine or get the infection. >> in terms of how many breakthrough infections are, senator lindsey graham is the latest saying he got covid despite being vaccinated, how does the country get back to a place where there's enough testing on a daily basis

scott gottlieb predicting that illinois, indiana and north carolina could be next. >> cases are buildingthese states. >> reporter: dan lieberman, abc news, new york. >>> canada has re-opened its border with the u.s. americans traveling to canada must be vfully vaccinated. children under 12 will be allowed to cross vci adul out ts wi what'sng calle the .arges ror it comes as historic wildfires rage across three continents. this morning the dixie fire burning in north california is now the second largest fire in state history. more than 620 buildings destroyed, 13,000 more at risk, at least five people are unaccounted for. half a world away in greece, thousands of people are fleeing as dozens of wildfires burn villages and turn the sky orangement toran orange. the fires so intense the water being used is evaporating before hitting the flames. it's a symptom, scientists say of climate change. the u.n. is out with a landmark report. a three-year study involving more than 200 scientists delivering a stark warning. >> the findings are sobering. there's no getting around that. >> reporter: t sa

gottlieb is exhibiting where ultimately they'll reach a point where asset pricing e ingpricing, ex-g to recover but i agree with keith yes, you can have a 5%, a 10% correction tomorrow, but i'm not going to be moving out of the market on the expectation of that and actually if you did have the 5% to 10% correction, a lot of people would be coming on this network talking about that as a tremendous opportunity yes, we're anticipating, and i think you should anticipate that the federal reserve is going to be tapering their asset purchase program but they're not ending the asset purchase program they have an historically high amount of purchases on a monthly basis. $120 billion even if they rolled that back to 105 or $100 billion, that's still a tremendous amount of liquidity that dictates you remain invested in the market. >> from a watercannon's worth of liquidity to a fire hose you're still flush with liquidity in the system, which, perhaps, is why credit suisse reiterates 2021 s&p target, 4600 and initiates a 2022 target of 5000 david costen at goldman sachs says the s&p will reach 4

>> in june, robert gottlieb, the man who has been the final editor of all of robert caro's books wrote an essay in the new york times. the focus was on john gunther and the 900 page book you wrote 75 years ago called "inside usa" in gottlieb's opinion, he was the best reporter america ever had. we wanted to find out more about this publishing success story so he called a canadian freelance writer to talk with him about his 1992 book called "inside: the biography of john gunther." announcer: listen at c-span.org/podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. segment at c-span and more. >> thank you for joining us for our headliners event with air force chief of staff chief -- chief of staff, general charles brown, or as he refers to himself, c.q. jr. we are happy to accept your questions and i will ask as many as time permits to submit a question, please e-mail headliners@press. org. charles brown jr. is the first and he hasn't been shy about calling how the military for its failure to diversify the leadership ranks and the racism that still exists within it. general brown said that the de

gottlieb kind of hit on all the points, the process that the fda needs to undergo and the fact that itjust like with the other vaccines but especially pediatric vaccines. for your question of under five. let's consider all those trials are happening right now, but the fda did ask for more data for all age groups and under five also has a challenge in trying to make sure that we have enough cases. you can't have a robust trial without having a controlled, with people with no covid compared to covid. so right now we actually unfortunately have a lot of young children getting covid. it is possible we could see under five earlier than -- not earlier than 5 to 12, but earlier than the beginning of 2022, chris, simply because we have so much covid in young children right now. >> so there is a lot of folks suffering in louisiana tonight. i'd like you to walk us through just how difficult this is. obviously they had a terrible situation before a category four hurricane hit their state. what are the biggest concerns when you see hospitals like that what they're facing, covid on top of what cert
