kristen:. kristen: got it. that makes sensep alex wants to know, how concerned are you about kids in schools, many districts are reporting outbreaks? he uses the term outbreaks but i think it is more cases we have heard about in bay area schools. ismail: what people are hearing about is just people being tested or being sick, which is consistent with what we know about from the last year. most of the kids get it from the community. the school is actually a very controlled environment if you think about it. i don't expect any interest school outbreaks. kristen: so if you had a kid that was school aged, you would send them back in person? dr. chin-hong: yes. i have spoken to a few parents. i would say the majority are excited that school started. kids are excited, and i hope with the current cases in the community that this will continue to be ok. kristen: we will go over to facebook live as we take a short i was injured in a car crash. i had no idea how much my case was worth. i called the barnes firm. when a tr

kristene struggled to ask a few of her own, tough ones. >> was kristene asking you about mollie?not initially give her any of that information. >> both chavez and kristene's parents were afraid that the truth about mollie would upset kristene and maybe jeopardize her recovery. >> i would just tell her, mollie's got sent to another hospital. >> of course, kristene persisted, and eventually, everyone decided she deserved to know mollie's fate. family and doctors assembled in kristene's room. when detective chavez revealed the truth. >> she was distraught and crying and we told her, you know, just i need you to stay strong so that you can help us and we're going to catch him. and so, she did. >> as the days passed, kristene's communication skills steadily improved, enabling her to share with police more details of that horrible night. >> it's supposed to be peaceful and safe. >> we wanted to hear her story, too. >> you look great, and it's great to see you. >> thank you. >> kristene began by describing her relationship with mollie. >> i met mollie at the mall. >> was there some chem

kristen: l.a. county announced a new requirement for masks at major outdoor events, but only if you are getting concessions. are you having those discussions here? london: we are, but we have already made it clear that for large-scale events that are indoors that may not sincerely involve concessions, we expect everyone to be vaccinated. of promoters and planners and everyone just to make sure t many of the things they are hiring are already being implemented and most importantly most people are already doing it whether they are required to were not. even outdoors they are still requiring masks and starting to take pictures again with their masks on so it has become part of the new normal. whether they are required to do it or not, people understand the importance of everyone playing their part so we don't continue to see the virus spread. kristen: there is that culture in san francisco and you see that automatically. san francisco students returned to the classroom and so far the district dashboar

kristen: let's talk about that. is recall will most likely be a republican because there is no democrat on that list. it is probably going to be larry elder who is a talk show host. what does it mean if you have a republican in that office? people think of the things the governor normally does, and it lets say they get unhappy with how he's handled covid, but what are some things a governor has power over that people don't think about that perhaps they should as they are deciding? >> the big one will be all the appointments, specifically the big concern has been, let's say something happens with dianne feinstein, or she steps down. i assumed the democrats could change that law quickly, and they would if newsom is out. there's a lot of different control over the state regulatory body, appointments that newsom and any governor has. having a super majority in both houses of the legislature limits that. california also has positions. these are limiting factors for any governor. plus, the fact that he or she would be in

kristen: dr. anthony fauci shared slides this morning with data to support this conclusion, that boosters are a good idea. tell us the main points he made. >> i'm sorry, i didn't see the interview. but i think the key is that over time, the immune response drops a little bit. that's less of a factor than the fact that the virus is actually changing over time so the vaccine is probably just as effective for the original strain of virus but as the virus changes, the vaccine becomes a bit less effective. the booster has a bunch of different advantages. not only does it boost your immune response and make it stronger but it also broadens the activity of your immune system and so it actually makes it more effective against some of the other strains. kristen: that is interesting. i noticed one of the slides, showing antibody decline over time. i wonder if antibody decline translates directly into less protection and more vulnerability for an individual. is that proven? >> it's normal for whenever you ge

kristen: that is true. in a hurry, so it is whatever is quickest, which is not always healthiest. i am glad the money has been made available to school districts to provide lunch every day for all kids regardless of family income and hopefully they will eat better, menu options, they have light bagels, cereal, whole-grain stuff, yogurt with fruit. i was thinking, that is pretty good. at least there is a recognition that health is important. >> we a family vacation weekends. we had a conversation about how things have changed so dramatically. think how we all eat differently than we did when we were kids. everything is packaged. 90% of everything in the grocery store is owned by five different companies. it is so much more convenient, but brings with it that terrible risk of eating poorly. we eat completely differently than we used to. larry: you used to have a choice between chinos -- cheetos and flamin' hot cheetos. kristen: everything you need for thanksgiving in one sweet treat. i am scared already. it i

two of my favorite guests are here, kristen bell and dax shepard.me on one at a time, but they're here together. we're going to talk about their game show "family game fight!," which premiered last night after the closing ceremonies and he is an emmy-nominated actor and musician, who stars in "big shot" on disney plus. and he's got a new podcast called "snatching sinatra," john stamos will be back with us but, before we get to all that, there is damning new evidence of donald trump's plan to overthrow democracy. meanwhile, republican governors are standing in the way of basic mitigation efforts against the surging covid delta variant. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ >> seth: we promised to stop talking about donald trump the day he stops talking but even now that he's out of office, trump and his movement always find new ways to shock. for example, the self labelled "america first" movement is taking up a new cause, rooting against american national sports teams. >> the u.s. women's soccer team is a very good example of what's goi

to be honest with you, kristen, i don't know how we can make it without covid testing. we need covid testing at least once a week. the reason i say this, students under the age of 127 cannot get a vaccine. the public health experts warn that those who are not vaccinated, that the strength of this new variant is to powerful that anyone unvaccinated is likely to get covid. so, yes, i think there needs to be weekly testing at every school to give us awareness so people can quarantine safe live and so we can keep our schools open. i love that our schools are open. i love that our restaurants are open. i love that we can spend time with loved ones but if not taking care of vaccines, are at risk. >> eric, our viewer wants to know will there hopefully be a vaccine mandate. right now they can't get it but come september is when we expect the green 11-year-olds. tdap, mmr, all those things we require at school. >> in order to have a vaccine mandate, there needs to be new legislation passed. i'm not aware any is passed in the country but its had raiseed the question whether there

kristen: it is. i will be joined by a panel of four experts including a teacher and our special correspondent, covering topics ranging from the learning loss to classroom safety. a lot to be discussed. at usaa, we've been called too exclusive. because we were created for officers. but as we've evolved with the military, we've grown to serve all who've honorably served. no matter their rank, or when they were in. a marine just out of basic, or a petty officer from '73. and even his kids. and their kids. usaa is made for all who've honorably served and their families. are we still exclusive? absolutely. and that's exactly why you should join. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are we sare waking upe? to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin when you need it... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybels

it's possible. >> do you see any signs of progress, kristen, on that front?gns that that could start to happen in the coming days? >> i am not seeing any evidence as of right now. the state department should be contacting the association of wartime allies. no one left behind, and any of the coalitions of veterans who are desperate to try to find ways out for people. i worked for ten days to try to get my interpreter and many others just into the airport, and they were not able to get into the airport. they were in all measures of danger, and so many of them just were never able to get in the walls, despite our best efforts to push, pull, communicate, anything that we could do to find a way to get them inside but it's because the flights were not prioritizing them. if you're an afghan national and god forbid you had troubles with your visa process, you have been left behind, and your family, and your children, and everyone you're related to. families of u.s. citizens, that's, those are some folks on our list, a u.s. citizen has been trying to get his family ou

kristen, there's an interesting pattern.esantis was going to take a very strong stance against these mask mandates. then a couple counties pushed back. then he realized he didn't have the legal authority to do what he did. they've surrendered. without claiming it. but so have a bunch of other southern governors. it does seem this delta variant -- there seems to be some nervousness along the no-mandate crowd, that maybe they better be careful here. >> the numbers are really scary, what we're seeing -- this is not just a red state or blue state thing. as your guest earlier in the show noted. the northwestern united states is starting to have outbreaks. you have states like nevada where you've got a democratic governor who voted for biden, but they're still experiencing some pretty scary numbers. i think you're seeing that covid doesn't care about your politics. covid cares about how many people in your state are unvaccinated and being pushed inside into poorly ventilated spaces. in the sunbelt, it's very hot. a lot of the sout

kristen: absolutely.n, the commodity currencies and the commodity segment has really been beaten up over the last couple of weeks. you have the concerns around, as i earlier mentioned, the lockdowns. the china narrative is serious. we just made something in downgrades to our gdp outlook, and that is clearly going to have an impact across the complex. what we are seeing over the past couple of sessions is a bit more of a relief rally because we have taken that hawkish outcome off the table at the upcoming jackson hole, given some of the recent data, given some of the mixed messaging from u.s. data in particular, at some of the fed comments as well. i think people are a bit more comfortable with the fact that we are going to get through this week without a hawkish surprise, and that is why you are seeing the commodity compex come back a little bit. alix: either way, when we get any signal from the fed, where is the risk? last week was so striking because yields did absolutely nothing, and it was the dollar

here is kristen dahlgren >> reporter: 73 million children in the u.s. now at the center of the covid debate, and why covid protocols aren't the same as those for the seasonal flu. >> there are more differences between the seasonal flu and covid-19 than there are similarities the only similarity is they're both airborne. >> reporter: pediatricians say comparisons reveal clear differences on almost every level >> number one, we don't even have a vaccine for our children under the age of 12. >> reporter: two-thirds of american children get the seasonal flu vaccine, and 90% of child flu deaths are among the unvaccinated more children have now died from covid than any flu season in recent memory, about 400 so far on average, between 34 and 200 children die from the seasonal flu each year. as schools return, covid case counts are surging. >> delta is changing the game of what we thought we knew about everything with covid. >> reporter: there were 94,000 new cases in children last week. while hospital rates are tripling icu doctors tell nbc news they're seeing

and kristen, what are the next steps? because this was very much described, wasn't in the briefing as a good 1st step, but what are the next steps? absolutely. well, we know, for example, that the mission of the united nations in afghanistan, the united nations assistance mission for afghanistan, nama, as it's known, the mandate for that mission expires in september. so many are seeing this as an opportunity to revisit some of these issues. to look at how things are going perhaps strengthen the international communities response there. again, many said that that would be a good opportunity. my, my colleague al jazeera producer, amanda price asked about these further steps of the u. k. ambassador, she said that she pointed out that the taliban really wants sanctions against them lifted in order to work in the country in order to bring investment and development into the country. and she suggested that that could be a carrot, perhaps for the taliban, or if they refuse to live up to these obligations spelled out in this reso

kristen said that we'll exceed like the usual 70 2018. yes, i think yes. that's a good question. kristen asked whether we will exceed the 70 to 80,000. yes. i think we will i think we'll probably. if i had to guess i think it'll be somewhere between 85 and 90,000 people who will be brought in but but remember to spare in mind that that 100,000 are not all syrian refugees. i mean syrians are competing with refugees from other parts of the world. so the the quota has been expanded presumably to accommodate more syrian refugees, but it's not guaranteed that all those spaces will go to syrian refugees, right? okay. thank you louie. so i know that refugees have a unique legal status in the country. so how do things like a deportations work? so i know we have the expedited process for certain people force of entry right but once they're accepted as refugees. yeah, it seems like they can't really be deported. well they can if they commit a crime in the united states or if they are discovered to have lied about their past in some way they can be deported if they have not become permanent

kristen soltis anderson is the cofounder of echelon insights. jeff charlotte is a contributor editor of vanity fair. >> kristen, the polling on all of this stuff is complicated. you can slice it and dice it a bunch of ways and it's little bit of a moving target, but i think when you talk about vaccines, it is still a majority -- like a healthy majority of americans either got the vaccine or want the vaccine, and that's thought even that controversial. it's really a subset of one part of americans. and it extends across all political ideologies, but particularly strong in this part of the republican party that is kind of an outlier. >> very grateful that you have shown all of that data about a majority of trump voters, for instance, being vaccinated. because i think so often the conversation around vaccines and our politics conflates people's views on the vaccines itself with policies like vaccine mandates. so you can look at the modern gop, and you can see about a third of republicans, maybe a little less, outright say i'm not getting vaccinated
