The clock is ticking for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as the majority of New York State Assembly members tell CNN they would vote to impeach. At least four District Attorneys are now investigating allegations of sexual harassment against the Governor. Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs joins to discuss the situation and the phone call call he made to The Governor asking him to resign. Later, CNN Commentator Errol Louis gives his view on how long the Governor can hold on to power.

Former Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen's Chief of Staff drafted an unsent resignation letter over what he said were former President Trump's direct instructions to weaponize the DOJ to push false claims of election fraud. CNN's Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez joins to discuss the content of the letter and former President Trump's continual attempts to claim fraud in the 2020 Election. Should the DOJ now be investigating the former President's conduct? Washington Post Columnist Max Boot and White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal Michael Bender join to give their perspectives.

America is averaging more than 90,000 coronavirus cases a day with the highly contagious delta variant now making up more than 90% of them.

CNN Political Commentator Charlie Dent and CNN Senior Political Analyst Ron Brownstein join to discuss the problem of misinformation from anti-vaxxers and the tensions in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Arkansas over how to deal with the covid public health crisis.

With concerns about the delta variant on the rise, former President Barack Obama has scaled back plans for his 60th Birthday celebration at Martha's Vineyard this weekend, where 600 guests were originally expected to attend the outdoor event. CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner and Joe Allen, Director of the Healthy Buildings Program at the Harvard Public School of Health, join to discuss the message holding such a gathering in a pandemic sends to the American people.

With the Olympics under way in Tokyo, publicly criticizing America's athletes has become a sport all its own among former President Trump and his right-wing followers here at home. Jemele Hill, contributing writer for The Atlantic joins to discuss Trump's comments on the unexpected loss of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team to Sweden, which he blames on what he calls woke-ism.

Finally, Frontier Airlines, in a major turnaround, has stated it supports a crew of flight attendants it initially suspended after they were forced to restrain an unruly passenger who allegedly assaulted them. CNN's Pete Muntean reports on this incident and how the TSA is now restarting flight attendants' self-defense training as in-flight issues are becoming more common.
