Anderson Cooper 360 episodes

August 06, 2021 Biden signs bill awarding medals to Jan. 6 first responders
Senate Judiciary Committee member Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota joins Anderson to talk about honoring the Capitol Police officers with the Congressional Gold Medal for their actions on January 6th. Plus, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to claim he has evidence that China hacked U.S. voting systems and switched votes for the former president to Biden votes. Lindell is not backing down even as he faces a lawsuit from voting machine-maker Dominion alleging he's defamed the company with his false accusations. And Lindell's company is counter-suing. CNN's Drew Griffin went to Minnesota to talk to Lindell about his claims that threaten democracy. And in Tennessee, Dr. Michelle Fiscus was fired last month from her position as Director of Immunization programs for the state. She says it was after she sent a memo to medical providers informing them about a decades-old Tennessee's law that essentially says teenagers can get the vaccine without their parents' permission, in some cases. Dr. Fiscus and her husband, Brad, who's a former teacher and a school board member, join Anderson.

July 31, 2021 CDC document: Covid-19 Delta variant spreads as easily as chicken pox
An internal Center for Disease Control and Prevention document revealed the Covid-19 Delta variant appears to cause more severe illness and spread as easily as chicken pox. President Joe Biden said the U.S. will “in all probability” see more restrictions due to the rise in cases. Dr. Peter Hotez is the co-director for the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital. He tells Anderson Cooper he thinks it will “get worse for lots of unvaccinated individuals” as schools open, especially in the South. Plus, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order to prevent mask mandates in schools. Dr. Aileen Marty is an infectious disease expert at Florida International University. She joins AC360 to discuss DeSantis’s decision and says the situation in Florida is “grave” and is getting worse day-by-day.

July 30, 2021 Biden: "Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status"
President Joe Biden announced new measures to boost vaccinations including requiring that all federal workers “attest to their vaccination status.” He added “anyone who does not attest or is not vaccinated will be required to mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they've acquired Covid, socially distance, and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.” U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy tells Anderson Cooper he hopes that other institutions will “look at the steps the President took” and he hopes “this movement continues to grow.” Plus, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plan to meet with the President to discuss the path forward on voting rights legislation. Former U.S. Congressman Beto O’Rourke is currently participating in a four-day “Moral March for Democracy” to put pressure on the Biden administration to advance the bill. The Texas Democrat joins AC360 to discuss what passing federal voting rights legislation could mean for the country.
