you're right, wolf.t is being criticized as being nothing more than a public relations stunt because the republican legislature continued to call these sessions and essentially run out the clock. but the lawmakers here in washington said they came to d.c. with a very specific goal. listen to how they lay that goal out. >> we have a short window here, as was previously mentioned. this session ends on august 7th, and we can't hold this tide back forever. we're buying some time. we need congress and all of our federal leaders to use that time wisely. >> reporter: and buying time to essentially get congress to do something as it relates to voting rights because they know they cannot win this battle in texas. but to jeff zeleny's point, there is just not the energy right here in the federal capitol to do something drastic like carving out a special provision in the bfilibuster rule. chuck schumer was specifically asked if he would push his fellow senators to take that step. wolf, his answer was that everythin

>> i think it is confusing, wolf. just talking to people over the last couple days. i also spoke with dr. walensky. the fundamental problem, as dr. of offit, is unvaccinated people transferring it to vaccinated people. you look at areas of high transmission, most assuredly you'll find lower vaccination rates there. and dr. walensky talks about someone who is vaccinated and adapts one of these breakthrough infections should have the virus in their nose and mouth and transfer it to someone else. if you're vaccinated, you may think, i'm totally free and clear, i can spend time with someone unvaccinated, no problem. that's where this might help a bit where you're going to spend time with vulnerable loved ones, you don't want to spread the virus to people, so vaccinated people should wear masks in public indoor spaces. how much of a difference does that make on that map you just showed? i don't know. what's driving red and orange on that map shows unvaccinated to vaccinated, primarily. >> you're absolutely right. sanjay, you have a question for dr. offitt. go ahead. >> do
