and, of course, jim, the big wild card here. what happens with the delta variant and what impact does that have on hiring and the u.s. economy? all big questions, but for now at least it's a recovering economy. it's still a pandemic economy. and there are still puzzles in the labor market. and those still need answering. back to you. >>> we're ramping up the pressure. cnn has learned the biden administration is considering new, much more aggressive ways to increase the rate of vaccinations in the u.s.. the senior administration official says that one of the latest strategies, the administration is exploring, is to withhold federal funds from institutions such as nursing homes unless their staff, their employees are vaccinated. the discussion is in the early stages now. it is unclear how far the administration will decide to go. as schools begin to reopen, the white house has just announced a new push to get more children who are eligible today vaccinated. we're going to have more on that in just a moment. >>> and hours after vac

i'm jim sciutto. poppy harlow is off this morning. according to the latest data from the cdc, a staggering 99.99% of people who are fully vaccinated against covid-19 have not had a breakthrough case, as they're known, resulting in hospitalization or death. 99.99%. we're not rounding that number. bottom line, vaccines are working, they're still work ing and more americans are beginning to take notice. the nation seeing its fifth consecutive day with 700,000 vaccinations were administered. that's been ticking up a bit in the last couple of weeks. for the unvaccinated, frankly, it is a different story. almost a different world. the delta variant is wreaking havoc, spreading now like wildfire among the unvaccinated. new cases and hospitalizations fueled by the unvaccinated are spiking in states across the nation. and even though the country is well short of its goal, well over 58% of people 12 years and ol older are vaccinated, dr. anthony fauci says he does not think that the next few months will look like last year. >> i don't think we'

i'm jim acosta in washington. we're only halfway there. with seven months after the vaccine rollout, exactly 50% of the u.s. population is now fully vaccinated against covid-19. but it's not enough. the delta variant is outpacing us. the u.s. is now averaging more than 107,000 new cases of covid-19 reported each day, the highest in nearly six months. and if there's one place that needs extra attention right now, it's florida. over the last week, more than 134,000 people there tested positive for covid. to put this into perspective, the u.s. was seeing seven-day averages close to this in late may and early june, so a single state is now seeing as many cases per week as the entire country was just two short months ago, and yet florida governor ron desantis is facing a country-sized case count, he is playing politics despite the fact florida leads the country in the number of children hospitalized for covid-19. he is banning mask mandates is schools and refusing to put in place mitigation measures really anywhere in the state. let's go to orl

you know, for weeks now jim jordan and jim banks have been raising some very tough questions, questions that need to be answered about why speaker pelosi didn't make sure that capitol police had all the tools they needed to be prepared for that day. now maybe because they were raising those questions they got canceled by this new cancel culture that we see moving throughout the country, led by speaker pelosi and a lot her socialist allies in congress where the want to shut out voices that race tough questions that they don't want to be asked or answered. and yet they were starting to raise those questions about why they capitol police didn't have the tools they needed. what kind of intelligence did speaker pelosi get early on, weeks in advance and leader mccarthy talked about, they gave telltale signals that could have prevented what happened on january 6th? speaker pelosi said she doesn't want those questions asked so she kicked them off the committee. she took an unprecedented step of refusing to allow members to be appointed by the minority leader to a select committee, and that neve

jim? >> absolutely. and there's also breaking news in the fight between the white house and governor desantis. what are you learning about that? >> reporter: we are watching a political boxing match, jim. the first punch was landed by governor ron desantis who told school districts that you cannot have a mask mandate. he says that wearing a mask should be left up to parents. and he said that districts who deified those orders would then see their funding stripped. and if you were a superintendent and you pushed forward with a mask mandate, he would take away your salary. just moments ago the u.s. department of education sending letters to governor ron desantis here in florida, to texas governor abbott, and to florida superintendent saying no, they're swinging back in a counterattack against desantis telling him that you don't have the authority to do that, and if you try we will use our federal money to supplement those school districts. we'll make sure that they have their salaries and that they'll have

jim? >> and the simple fact is, and the white house has to be aware of that, that many of those afghans cannot as much as get to the airport to get out, and time is waning here. we'll see how that factors into the decision. thanks so much, jeremy. let's speak now to cnn diplomatic editor nick robertson. good to have you. the president will get pressure from the allies. they depend on the u.s. presence for what they are doing, taking evacuees out. how severe do you expect that pressure to be? >> yeah, these leaders like boris johnson hosting the g7 has faced a lot of domestic pressure for the way the withdrawal has gone down in afghanistan. you know, albeit, under the leadership of the united states, they still get pressure at home. so that there is on them, you know, an increased focus on making sure they get all the afghan nationals out who helped them and all their own nationals out. so the pressure is on them they feel they need more time. i think the reality of the situation, the pushb

it's about profits >> brynn, do you agree with jim? you want to take the other side of where we are? >> not necessarily the other side but going back to rates for a second is that the feds have their thumb on rates all year long yet we've had a tremendous amount of volatility on the up side and now to the down side with yields at 1.15 and so i do think that you're seeing weakness in yields going lower because of delta, right? and whether you're vaccinated, unvaccinated, this thing has an r nought that's crazy. it's causing everybody to say maybe we'll go back to the more stay-at-home names tesla is up today. look at some of the arc names up quite a bit. i agree with jim that ultimately, earnings drive returns. period and stop. not in the short term but over a one-year, three-year, five-year. earnings drive returns and earnings are just continuing to pick up margins across the s&p are continuing to pick up. and so i think we'll continue to have what everyone is saying, this chop, because of the uncertainty of our new reality around delt

host: jim carafano, what do you think the u.s. can do to protect home unsecured committal national security concerns about developing threats in afghanistan and in that region? guest 1: i want to, if i could, i think adam's answer was excellent. he goes back to the nationbuilding. nationbuilding is largely a myth. nations do not build other nations. nations build themselves. japan rebuilt japan. germany rebuilt germany. the marshall plan, those countries largely took responsibility and rebuilt their nations. it happened in austria and a number of other countries after world war ii. the difference is they weren't being invaded when they were trying to rebuild. and in a situation like south vietnam and afghanistan, nationbuilding is a bit like sand castles. it is virtually impossible when you do not have a stable security situation, and the people cannot look after their own future. and i think we did waste a lot of money and afghanistan. i actually agree with adam, because nationbuilding is kind of a non sequitur effort. on the oth

interestingly enough, jim, senior u.s. officials, two taliban officials what they were doing but also making clear if there was any threat to u.s. troops there would be a response. what this all boils down to is the reality on the ground. u.s. officials knew the taliban had capability and knew they would likely make advances against the afghan national security forces. they did not expect it to happen this quickly and it is certainly happening at a rapid clip, jim. >> phil, has this situation caused the president or his team to reevaluate this decision to pull out of afghanistan so soon? >> nothing i'm hearing would give any idea that that's possible at this point. jim, we heard from the president a couple days ago, made very clear even as this was happening he has no regrets. he made clear it is time for the afghans to fight for themselves, to fight for their country. u.s. officials say this validates what the president decided to do in the sense that keeping u.s. troops there for 2, 5, 10 more years after 20 years and mo

>> jim, this is moving really quickly. in fact, the biden administration is talking about it almost as if it's a done deal when it doesn't have fda or cdc review yet which is quite unusual. so, let's take a look at some of the basics on the time lines for booster shots. booster shots is a third shot of the two that you already got. so as we know, pfizer has already begun its process of applying to the fda for approval. and biden had said that he plans to start boosters september 20th. that is soon. in studies, boosters were given about four to eight months after the second dose. in other words, this third dose, this booster shot, given about four to eight months after the second dose, so we expect that once they are approved -- and it is, of course, expected to be approved -- it would be for -- you would be getting it about four to eight months, somewhere in there, after your second shot, jim. >> new details about covid-19 infections in children. what more are we learning, particularly about kids age 16 to 17? >> right, ji

well, you're exactly right, jim. we really don't concern ourselves about how the taliban will respond. we do know that we have leverage over the taliban. we control a lot of the resources of afghanistan. we know the taliban is going to try to seek some international legitimacy and that will depend on what the united states recommends to our allies. so i think it's in their interest to cooperate with us. but make no mistake about it, the taliban is a brutal organization from the point of view of protecting human rights of the citizens of afghanistan, and we know there's a lot of people in afghanistan, afghans who are at risk if they remain in that country. >> do you want to see more strikes like the one that happened overnight? the president is indicating that that is coming. >> well, isis-k is an extremely dangerous terrorist organization. anytime we can compromise their effectiveness, we could take advantage of that. we have intelligence information that can lead us to minimizing the risk factor of that terrorist gr

i'm jim sciutto. poppy harlow is off. this morning the vaccine maker moderna has just announced its covid-19 vaccine remains 93% effective after six months from vaccination. however, the company also saying that a third shot will likely be necessary before the coming winter months because of the steady rise in delta variant infections. it's also important to note moderna says the data collection for this report was completed before the delta variant emerged here in the u.s. delta's rise here due, in part, to the stark number of people who still refuse to get a safe vaccine. dr. anthony fauci is warning if the overwhelming proportion of people do not get the shot, there is ample chance we could see an even more aggressive variant than delta in the future. the virus is always thinking, it's always changing. biden administration is on the verge of taking major steps on mandating covid-19 vaccines for foreign visitors to the u.s. as well as for all active duty members of the military. we are expecting upd

>> yeah, i do actually, jim. the reason i do is because what the president is saying, why throw good money in this case, good training after bad. and what you're looking at is in essence a drastic way to cut our losses. now, the actual execution of this is another matter. you know, in arlette's report we learned about the planning that had gone on from about may until the present time to do this. what bothers me about this are two things. first of all, that they didn't seem to account for the rapid advance of the taliban. and secondly, that a lot of the afghan interpreters and others from afghanistan who have served the u.s. military over the last 20 years, that their fates are being ignored by this. it seems as if that was an afterthought. now they're trying to catch up and get these people out, but that is a very big issue that they're going to have to pay very close attention to. >> yeah, we absolutely cannot leave them high and dry. they helped the united states through all of this. the united states has to h

>> reporter: they are, jim. and we are potentially looking at an absolute worst case scenario with this fire pushing ever closer to the lake tahoe region. we're in the community of south lake tahoe. this area under a mandatory evacuation order. this of course is known as a popular tourist area, skiing in the winter, and boating and hiking in the summer. and now it is an absolute ghost town which is striking to see even in this early morning hour. perhaps you could see how smokey it is out here. and i want to you listen now to one resident who we caught up with as he was packing his belong belongings and hitting the road. >> i try to stay calm but there is panic now because the fire is threatening our community, which we never thought was going to -- we thought they would get it under control. but mother nature suggested otherwise. and now we're looking at, you know, our whatever little precious belongings we have packed up and we're relocating and hopefully we have a home and a community to come back to. >> repo

jim? >> just a herring moment for the former afghan president fleeing with only the clothes on his back. that is very interesting stuff. all right, nick. keep us posted on that. we'll be coming to massachusetts in just a few moments. the governor there, charlie baker, is giving people in that state an update on the situation with hurricane henri as it continues to barrel towards southern new england ahead of an anticipated sunday landfall. let's go to that now. >> for eastern massachusetts and for most of cape cod and the islands. eastern massachusetts shouldn't see the widespread hazardous driving conditions we were worried about yesterday, but this is new england and it's hurricane season. so please continue to pay attention to your local weather alerts as the forecasts do tend to change. there's still the possibility of widespread power outages in just about every part of the commonwealth due to high winds and the heavy rain. across massachusetts we will likely see tropical-storm-force

>> i'm hopeful it will, jim. but i think no matter what, we have been expecting full approval for weeks now. you know, 90% of my staff, we estimate has already received the vaccine. we know it's safe. we're pushing, encouraging our families to have our children get vaccinated. we have vaccine clinics in all of our large high schools and making it accessible and easy for our families and some of your families are worried and partnering with our health partners to give them information to answer their questions. right now, it is important to look ahead. we're not going to have a successful academic year unless we get our staff and children vaccinated. it's just that simple. >> yeah. that's the worry, right? you don't want to have going back to remote schooling. i know parents wouldn't like that. pedro martinez, thanks so much for the work you're doing. >> thank you, sir. >>> in tennessee, search crews still combing the debris for dozens of people still missing, caught in that record-breaking and deadly flooding. we

it is not just schools, jim. yesterday the head of jackson health system announcing that there will be vaccine mandates for all employees in the hospitals and also miami-dade county mayor announcing that she will be requiring testing now for any unvaccinated county employees. so schools are trying to find a way to stop the spread. local lo local municipalities are trying to stop the spread but governors continue to say that florida will not be the state of lockdowns or mandates. jim. >> leyla santiago. joining me now is dr. rose lynn good from the florida county school board. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me this morning. >> so, last week your school board voted unanimously, we should note, unanimous vote for masks for all students and teachers and staff and visitors at school and had to backtrack when the governor issued his threat to withhold funding for districts that did that and now broward said the mask mandate will be in place until further notice. where do you stan

that's just ridiculous, jim. but he's wording this in such a way where i think he'll try to squiggle out of the fact he's going to write somebody a $5 million check. although, i must say, in unaired portions of the interview, we really nail him down on what he's promising in terms of 5 million. >> and i guess you're not ghoing to get a check. you can argue until the cows come home trying to lay out the facts and some of these folks will not change their minds no matter what you put in front of them but what a great story, great report as always, drew griffin, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you, jim. >> great to see you. >>> coming up, cdc warning americans to not travel to more popular tourist destinations. what does that mean for your future vacation plans? we'll get advice from the points guy. that's next. fading, stretching, and pilling. new woolite has evercare, a first of its kind formula that keeps today's fabrics looking like new. new woolite with evercare millions of vulne

jim lebenthal, mr. all in. you bought more bristol my zbleers and abvi, scott. >> and abvi. >> i believe the pharmaceutical sector has a nice bid. these are single digit multiple stocks with above average dividend yields. earlier this year i owned verizon, just too boring gave me the dividend and nothing else. here you have growth you can see the growth from the demographics you can see it from the fact that the democrats don't have their eye on drug price control. for me this is a simple way to get some nice returns. life can be simple it doesn't have to be as hard as steve weiss makes it i know he likes to exercise, you know, do jumping jacks on a carpet of banana peels not everything has to be that hard this is simple. >> well, since you did mention weiss -- and weiss, i have to admit, sometimes i don't know your true motives. so i'm seeing the fact that you trimmed -- you trimmed cleveland cliffs now. >> oh, no. >> let me ask you straight up, would you have done that if farmer jim was not on the program tod

thanks very much. >> hey, jim. good to be with you under these terrible circumstances. >> absolutely. tell us in your view the significance of this. this had been the fear. we knew the airport was a target. now it appears that terror groups have been able to carry out an effect. what is the potential effect on this of the evacuation operation? >> well i hope it has the opposite effect of what is intended. what the intended effect is to accelerate our departure and to him ihumiliate us. i think that the opposite fact is an end of our delusion. maybe there is a bold line between the taliban and al qaeda and the haqqani network and isis-k. haqqani is in charge of security in kabul. he's the number one hostage taker of americans. and the number one mass murderer of afghan civilians. those are the two principal tactics that they brought to the jihadist echo system and they are the bridge between al qaeda and taliban. so maybe we'll start being serious again. i think that we've exuded extraordinary weakness and that invi

so it says it says jim bush checklist, jim bush that goes to disappear. yes, jim, jim's the as well as the floors went up, i wish much of not what you wish. it could be a, you know, they have to wait and stuff which goes through your thought or plan which isn't, if you could let you know, and you might to check to read the book club with the quote. you just go it, you know what you need? yes. come what would be the most to done. that was a point yesterday. miss lucas caused by you. she stays with functionally pretty much what they're going to get because the professional motional, georgia goc logistic, maybe not to who are still near the muslim. yeah. those mobile needs. and then you know, she was ill at that. what are your, the alina mid nova is 15 years old and comes from the old school, mostly because she's worked with textiles for 5 years, and is now learning the patchwork technique. but don't know what to do with the digital is the chair supervision using as your question with my point bulletin is 916 am i supposed to july, and that isn't that's kind

jim? >> many remain sadly. that's a fact. jeremy diamond, thank you. >>> joining me now to discuss the broader picture, david sanger, white house and national security correspondent for "the new york times." david, always good to have you. before we get to the evacuation efforts, i want to begin with you with another headline this morning. that is the taliban telling afghan women in the simplest terms to stay home. they claim until they can establish security measures. but i wonder in reality, knowing the taliban's medieval view of the world and of women and women's rights, if this is a taste of things to come. >> well, we certainly got to think that that is going to be what's coming, jim. it was interesting how they worded that. they said that they wanted to have women out ultimately, but they aren't framed their own forces and did not have the discipline right now to treat them properly. i think that tells you just about everything that you need to hear about how this is probably playing out outside of kabul and outside of

i'm carl quintanilla with jim cramer and david faber bulls try to rally around vaccine approval hopes, jackson hole hopes and new signs of policy support in china. hang seng up 2%. china tech up 7% beginning with rally on. chinese tech names surging reversing course as bargain hunters search for value. >> plus the faa opening a new broad review of boeing we'll tell you what they're looking at. >> and, "actually not great. elon musk criticizing his own company's latest self-driving software get details on that straight ahead. so we're going to watch some of the chinese tech names and oil, jim, coming off best day since april. >> boom! what a bounce up get used to 70, goes down. what saudis are worried about things like -- pioneer devoted to turn it off if they want to. very profitable companies. when you have oil companies that are not living hand to mouth they can actually do the right thing. they can hold back when it's 60 and they can -- i have denver resources. >> you sdo do? >> denver, by the way, single best capture company, why i'm featuring them. >> don't even start. >> it's fa

>> jim, i'm vaccinated. we believe that all of us should be vaccinated if we're eligible to be vaccinated. we're not mandating it but we think it's the right thing to do, it's the responsible thing to do, and it's the reasonable thing to do if we expect as a nation to get this pandemic over with. >> so as you know, some folks including teachers, although most we should acknowledge in the country have been vaccinated, but some, like other americans, are refusing to and some might have health questions about it or others. what do you say to teachers who haven't been vaccinated yet? how do you encourage them to do so? >> well, the three words that i like to share of course that's their right but i want to also share that all of our rights should be tempered by our responsibilities and we should be reasonable and we should think about our children. we should think about the vulnerable. we should think about our society, our recovery, and, of course, we want to ensure that our students have the opportunity to att
