♪ ♪ eric: well, president biden begins his first full week in office with a different focus coming up this week for each day. they include covid response, economic recovery and immigration. this after of the president's first call to foreign leaders went to our northern and southern leaders, canadian prime minister justin trudeau and mexico's president, lopez own obrador. the main topic for him, migrants. hello, everyone, i'm eric shawn. hi, arthel. arthel: hello, everyone, i'm arthel neville. now, on both calls president

biden highlighted the importance of cooperation in a wide-ranging agenda, pledging to work with mexico on a plan to stem, quote, irregular migration along our shared border. the mexican president says president biden offered him $4 billion to help with development in central american countries. here's what former president trump's former dhs secretary had to say earlier today. >> they need to make sure that that border is secure, that we don't go back to catch and release, that we're not releasing individuals that may have covid into american border communities to put additional strip on our health care system -- strain on our health care system. hope any, they're looking at all of that. arthel: mark meredith live at the white house with more. >> reporter: it looks to be another busy week, the biden administration expected to tackle agenda items focused on the environment, economy and immigration. we're watching to see what that'll mean for his homeland security pick, republicans are

blocking fast-tracking this nomination over concerns about the president's border plans. all this comes as mexico's president, as you said, mentioned in a recent call with biden that he was told the u.s. aims to spend at least $4 billion this central america, countries where migrants may be trying to leave to get to the u.s. one democratic senator tells fox news he believes comprehensive grmigration reform can pass congress. >> i know there's strong bipartisan interest in several of these issues. work release, desperately needed in we every one of our states. >> reporter:, now, closer to home the white house is focused on getting a pandemic and economic stimulus package out of congress. the new white house chief of staff making the plea on "meet the press" earlier this morning, and many republicans are saying they are very concerned with the price tag. >> the total figure is pretty shocking, if you will, and the idea that we need a stimulus is

a little hard to understand because i'm one of those that's convinced if you want to see this economy get going, we've got to getten beyond covid. -- get beyond covid. >> reporter: the president has kept a low profile this weekend except when he stepped out to church in georgetown. unclear if this is going to be his new to go-to spot or if he was just trying this church out. at one point the motorcade stoppedded at a deli nearby the church as the president had his son hunter get out to get themed food. good to see the president out about town. tomorrow the senate's going to be worming to confirm -- working to confirm some of the president's nominees, and we can expect to see action about reversing a trump policy that restricts transgender military men and women serving in the armed forces. we're expecting to see action possibly by tomorrow. so, arthel, as i mentioned, another busy few days ahead. arthel: indeed, it will be. mark meredith live at the white

house for us, thank you so much. everything? eric: president kennedy went to that church when he was president in georgetown. meanwhile, out west in arizona the republican party there showing loyalty to former president trump. it voted to censure some of its members who voted against the effort to overturn president biden's election win including senator john mccain's widow, corinne city mccain. -- cindy mccain. it does suggest there is a split within the party. david spunt has more on this from washington. >> reporter: there was there is an internal war in the arizona republican party. there's the donald trump faction and the john mccain faction. the mccain faction is made up of cindy mccain, jeff flake and governor doug ducey, all three censured last night. but the censure is merely just a symbolic step. it shows the state republican party in its official capacity is more the party of trump than mccain. the party nominee for president

just 12 years ago. arizona gop if chairwoman kelly ward was narrowly reelected. governor doocy was close with president trump, but the foreman president believed governor ducey did not do enough to help him win arizona after he lost the state to find. the widow of the late senator john mccain tweeted: it is a high honor to be included in a group of arizonans who have served our state and nation so well and who have been censured by the arizona gop. i'll wear or this as a badge of honor. former senator jeff flake posted a picture at the inauguration last week all censured by the arizona republican party. he wrote simply the caption, good company. utah senator mitt romney on "fox news sunday" said he believes there will be a lift in the coming months and years, the longer president trump is out of office. >> i think our party is going to return to some of our more

fundamental principles which is fiscal responsibility, believing in the importance of character, standing with our allies and pushing back against people like kim jong un and vlad myrrh putin -- vladimir putin. >> reporter: president biden beat former president trump in arizona by 10,500 votes. eric? eric: david, thanks so much. arthel: seattle's bear rim police chief -- interim police chief says he will crack own on rioters and vandallals after rioters destroyed the city's original starbucks coffee shop. alex hogan is live in new york city with the details. alex. >> reporter: hi, arthel. seattle police say this is a step to deter any more people at protests from committing any violence after many of the people who were arrested last year never saw prosecution. in the last year, police there in seattle arrested about 600 people. many of those people have yet to face charges. police chief adrian diaz

announcing this tighter policy urging city leaders to do the same. on wednesday, inauguration day, a group of protesters vandalizing several buildings including smashing the windows of an amazon store and, as you mentioned, tar bucks at the city's -- star the bucks at the city's famous high place market. police arresting three people on burglary, assault and property damage. enter you're not hurting anybody but us as small business owners. >> we need to arrest these people. when people think they can get away with that without any consequences, they're going to keep doing it. >> reporter: last night in portland protesters also calling for the abolishment of i.c.e., clashing with police. just days earlier with, on wednesday, another violent demonstration. officials declaring it an unlawful assembly and breaking up the group with the use of tear gas. back in seattle, since the announcement of this change in

initiative, there was a protest that took place since then, yesterday. this group, however, marched through the streets. they did block some traffic but they were, overall, very peaceful. arthel? arthel: alex hogan live in new york city, thanks, alex. ♪ ♪♪ eric: moving now to coronavirus, johns hopkins university reporting nearly 25 million confirmed infections of covid-19 here in our country. the death toll now climbing past 421,000 of our fellow americans. this as the biden administration is now working on distributing the vaccines as quickly as possible as that more contagious variant is spreading across the u.s. experts fear that that threat could get even worse with the new, deadly version of the virus. charles watson live in atlanta now, headquarters of the centers for disease control, obvious. charles? >> reporter: hi, eric. the vaccine shortage is making

it much harder for public health officials to stay ahead of the virus. on saturday the university of michigan paused all athletic activities after collecting several positive tests for a variant first discovered in the u.k. public health officials say the current vaccine can protect folks from the more contagious form of the virus; however, doses are in short supply across the country and continue to dwindle as statements desperately try to figure out why shipments of the much-anticipated vaccine are shrinking. >> we know for right now that our supply's going to remain steady. we need more. i think you've been hearing that from all of the states that as they've gotten ramped up, we're getting to the point where we can't really do more without more doses. and, you know, we're kind of waiting to see what that's going to look like, when that'll happen. >> reporter: now, some states are scaling back plans to expand access to the public. in new york city officials were

forced to cancel more than 20,000 appointments this week as supplies reached critically low levels statewide. in a letter to the biden administration, ohio governor mike dewine says he'll welcome mass distribution sites run by the federal government but only if that means ohio gets more doses of the vaccine. >> we know that from the conversations with companies that the supply will increase over the coming months as they bring more and more production online. >> reporter: and, eric, it's clear that production will have to be stepped up in this country. operation warp speed, as you know, had a goal of vaccinating 20 million people by the end of 2020. as it stands right now, we're about 2.5 million people behind that goal. eric? eric: yeah. seems to be way behind. charles, thank you. if -- in a few moments we will hook at how how deadly the new s is and when all the shots will be available to us. arthel? arthel: there is concern over

♪ ♪ arthel: well, california

governor gavin gavin newsom is g urn fire because the state is not releasing some key coronavirus data. critics say that information could shed light on the impact of lockdowns and stay at home orders. let's go to christina coleman now live in los angeles with the details. >> reporter: arthel, the effort to beat gavin newsom out of office gaining steam. create ins say he's not being transparent about very important covid data. even though it didn't look like any of the stay at home orders would be lifted based on icu capacity, the state announced last week the restrictions would be lifted for the sacramento area. however, the ap reported that a spokeswoman for the department of public health said in an e-mail to the associated press that at the moment projections are not being shared publicly. state health officials say that data would possibly confuse or mislead the public, but critics argue that not releasing this

information will actually lead to more public uncertainty. frustration over this could add momentum to the latest recall effort. however, former california governor gray davis, who was recalled in 2003, remains optimistic. >> he'sed had more crises, none of which are -- on his plate than could possibly imagine. and the last poll showed him at a 58% approval rating. i do not think the recall will be successful. >> reporter: but the list of complaints against gavin newsom is getting longer. covid cases are raging in the statement, and just last week california rankedded dead last of all 50 states in the percentage of covid vaccines administered, not to mention all the bad attention the governor got for going to that ill-advised dinner at the french laundry restaurant in the middle of this pandemic. >> he tells us not to go to

dinner, but he goes to indoor dinner for a lobbyist and doesn't wear a mask. we've got a speaker from san francisco as well, speaker pelosi. she tells people they can't get their hair done but she can. >> reporter: petitioners have until march 17th to submit the roughly 1.5 million signatures needed to trigger a special election. they've collected about 70% of them so far. arthel? arthel: christina coleman in los angeles, thank you. eric. >> please, wear a mask. eric: well, that, of course, is dr. anthony fauci issuing an official white house public service announcement urging americans to wear a mask to protect all of us from being infected by the coronavirus. you know, the president's chief pandemic medical adviser has already said 100 million vaccine doses is the goal in the administration's first 100 days. he thinks that's doable. but then he clarified some of

those doses will go to people who have already gotten their first two shots. so how fast can all the vaccinations be rolled out? dr. marty makary is with us from johns hopkins university hoover school and a fox news medical contributor. doctor, good to see you. >> hi, eric. eric: we heard the president say 100 million in 100 days, but really dr. fauci said it's going to be about two-thirds of that, 67 million, because it's the people, not the shots. 67 million people in the first 100 days. what happened and how fast do you think we can get more people inoculated? >> first of all, when dr. fauci says we need to immunize 70-85% of the population in order to get close to normal and get beyond the infection, he's oddly dismissive of natural immunity. eric, 30-60% of the u.s. population right now may be immune from prior infection, and that may be why we've seen a 31%

reduction in daily new cases over the last two weeks, maybe an early sign of herd immunity. or because herd is kind of a loaded term, let's just call it slowing because there's fewer people left susceptible. 25 million people confirmed to have the infection in u.s. means really 100 million to 200 plus million because we've only been capturing 1 in 4 to 1 is in 8 or 10. we're starting to see slowing from natural immunity. eric: boy, that's really fascinating. your view is a lot more people have been infected, you know, don't know it, may have already had it and it's pass ld, didn't realize it, never got the symptoms and never got tested. >> more studies are showing even an asymptomatic case are result in antibodies and some natural immunity. there was a study that looked at survivors from the 1918 spanish flu and found that nine decades

later they were still able to produce antibodies from functioning memory b cells. that's pretty incredible. i think the medical community's been oddly dismissive of natural immunity. it's not a good strategy, but it may account for why we see slowing. if we can go after the over 65, it represents 50 million americans, that should be our target with maximizing first doses. eric: certainly, it should be. let's say you want to go get the vaccine, you will. if you already had been infected and may not know it, is there any problem? could you describe any medical complications with that in. >> i believe the cdc guidance has been lacking and really poor here. i think if you've had the infection for sure, you should step aside and go to the back of the line. a lot of people think they've had the infection, but there's a lot of viruses circulating out there. if you know you've had the antibodies or tested positive, i would step aside so our vulnerable americans can get it

first as long as we're supply constrained. >> that is so important too. meanwhile, we have the new variant -- two, actually, one from england and one from south africa. the one from england is already here, about 20 states. at first we were told it's more contagious, not more lethal. but now it turns out the new one more deadly. here's dr. fauci talking about the need for vaccines for that. >> we may need to modify and upgrade the vaccines. we don't need to do that right now. the best way to prevent the further evolution of these mutants is to vaccinate as many people as possible with the vaccines that we have currently available to us. eric: how worried are you about the new, more deadly version that they say will be widespread by march, and do the current vaccines protect against that? >> it looks like they do protect against them. we've seen a massive deceleration over the last two

weeks in daily cases, and we're probably going to see a massive deceleration in the next two months. if we can get the numbers down, that's our best protection against the new strains. there was concerning news from the u.k., a study came out suggesting that the b-117 infection is up to 30-40% more deadly. and it makes sense. if it's more stickty, if -- sticky, if it binds more tightly to the 62 binding receptor in the lungs, you're going to get more virus particles in your system and be sicker and a higher risk of mortality. so i'm concerned. look, south africa and brazil have other strains. we've not done a good job monitoring them, but it's a mathematical certainty they are in the u.s. and they've had raging epidemics in the summertime, it's the southern hemisphere, they shouldn't be seeing epidemics in summer. it may be because this new strain is more contagious.

and in the u.s. also if you look at where we've seen persistent spread and not the rapid deceleration, it's been in southern california and south florida where we know there's a lot of trouble with latin america. eric: we'll are to get the administration working to get those vaccines out as quickly as possible. dr. marty makary, thank you of so much. bloomberg cool of public health. >> thanks, eric. eric: and there'll be more on the coronavirus tonight. "the next revolution," steve hilton on that, obvious, he hosts the show, and he's going to take a deep dive into covid-19. don't miss the program tonight with steve hilton right here, 9 p.m. eastern on the fox news channel. arthel? arthel: well, eric, new administration, new look at the proposal to reform the judiciary. could that mean adding more justices? next, the republicans and even some democrats who are already pushing back on some judicial reform ideas. ♪

about 20 states in our country and is expected to further spread across the united states. arthel: there is one debate topic from the election coming back into the spotlight. it is called packing the supreme court. 12 gop senators have signed onto a bill that would limit the number of supreme court justices to the current nine. as those republican lawmakers say progressive democrats want to pack the court with liberal justices. some on the left have said they would like to see president biden increase the number of justices, not all democrats are on board. >> i voice thought that was the case, nine supreme court justices have always been good for the united states of america. i've always been supportive of that i don't like the idea of increasing the supreme court. that's bring in reporter alayna. let's start here, october 27,

2023 months ago when senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and gop senators approved just as amy coney barrett, that was one week before the last election sending a third republican appointed justice under the former president to the supreme court. could the democrats turn the table and pointed this is the republicans try to so-called pack the court? >> they could but it's going to be a very hard, not only an argument to make but also one that is very hard to actually do right now in this kind of sentence, democrats are in the majority and both chambers for both of the majorities -- in order for them to change the number of people that some progressives want would be very difficult to do so. i also think most democrats privately believe don't think that's a great idea and that's why think we see not a lot of momentum about this. the big debate that were talking

about right now is actually ending the legislative filibuster not about court packing like some are saying. but joe biden did say when he was still president-elect that he wanted to form a commission to go over this and to look at whether this is something that they could do but before even running for president joe biden hadaway said he didn't really think it was a good idea. i would be surprised if any real momentum either in congress or in the biden a administration. arthel: you are right president biden said he is not interested in increasing the number of justices in what you're saying according to reporting that will not have a lot of wind behind that so perhaps this will fall flat and fall flat soon. what do you think? >> granted the bill that you mentioned by the republican senators is the republican bill but i do think it will also be hard to change the constitution and that way as well.

it is noticeable that they have no democratic support for this bill and that packing as well and the democratic run senate and the democratic run house would be very difficult and i think there's going to be a lot of talk about this when were going to see the more controversial cases that are coming up and we will have 6 - 3 in favor of republican supreme court and that might start to build momentum for the democrats but i think it will continue to be a messaging issue and not one that has a reality of packing the congress. arthel: if you are saying according to reporting, that the democrats majority of them are not interested in court packing or increasing the number of supreme court justices, then why were the 12 republican senators feel compelled to put forth legislation that would prevent that? >> i think that republicans are going to do a lot of these things in the next few years in the senate and the minority and

i think they are afraid of the possibility of something that could happen and again, i made the argument about the filibuster being similar play out there where it does not seemed like most democrats or even chuck schumer are trying to in the legislative filibuster but they want to leave it on the table and that the same approach the democrats are going to take with court packing they do want to make a commitment either way that they will or will not do something even though it does not look like the ability of ending the legislative filibuster or expanding the court to go beyond nine justices. i think democrats are still trained to learn the senate majority, how can we move forward and build this as leverage in many cases over the republicans and i think that's what they're doing here they don't want to box themselves in other way and that's why republicans like senator marco rubio or tried to get ahead of the and stop things before the conversation takes on a life of its own. arthel: as you well know the

first supreme court comprised of six justices in 1859 the congress set the number of seats to nine. last night speaker pelosi said given the population growth in the 150 or so years the u.s. may need to reevaluate the number of justices. where will this lead? >> again i think democrats are still very upset and frustrated at the way the supreme court justices were handled under president trump in the last year that president obama was in office when mitch mcconnell blocked his nominee and merrick garland from being the court because the time of the election and of course we saw in the fall that the senate rushed through the nomination of amy coney barrett to get in before the election, there is a lot of frustration in the timing of speaker pelosi comments on wanting to examine our key

because it was happening as a debate about amy coney barrett was happening and i think when we do see the controversial supreme court cases come up in the next few months as well i'm not sure there will be a vacancy anytime soon but whenever there is one we will start to see some of this come up. just for my conversations with people in the biden in a administration is not a top priority there focusing on the main focus is coronavirus relief in the legislative filibuster. arthel: in the economy too. we will leave it there, i like your dresser behind you. >> thank you so much. eric: this weekend we witnessed some of the largest mass protest against vladimir putin's iron group ruling russia. moscow is accusing the u.s. of a battling in those demonstrations that show support critic alexei navalny, also downplay the scale of the demonstrations which were told to happen across the

country in which at least 3000 people were reportedly arrested. trey yingst is telling the story live from jerusalem. >> good afternoon protest erected across russia this weekend and support of the leader alexei navalny, the numbers are stunning, and moscow alone an estimated 40000 people gathered to participate in the demonstration many clashing with police. across the country at least 3000 were arrested including navalny's wife. a spokesperson for vladimir putin today is accusing the united states of meddling in their internal affairs. on saturday the u.s. state department put out a statement calling for navalny's release saying the united states will stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies and partners in defense of human rights. rather in russia or wherever they come under threat, this follows a move by president biden on thursday asking for his

director of national intelligence to probe russia's use of a chemical weapon against the country's top opposition leader. navalny traveled to russia last week after spitting month in germany recovering from being poisoned. he was arrested immediately upon arrival. to give you a sense of the dedication these protesters had this weekend it was negative 58 degrees fahrenheit and one russian city that did not stop people from taking to the streets. eric: people of russia the protesters really expressing their view against putin's regime. thank you. arthel: thank you, the biden a administration said that will work with allies on a new policy towards iran. the regime says it wants the u.s. back in the nuclear deal but the state department says they are still a long way away from that. so where does diplomacy go from here. ♪

the president is expected to reimpose travel restrictions on most non-us citizens entering the united states from brazil and for most of europe, president biden is also expected to impose a ban on most noncitizens entering the u.s. who have recently been in south africa, all of this is coming as a biden administration is working to contain the spread of a new strain of covid-19, mark meredith is at the white house and he'll have more on the developing story on the "fox report with jon scott" that will start right after eric and i get off the air at 5:00 p.m. eastern. eric: president biden's plan to fight against coronavirus is also about to meet with u.s. allies in the coming weeks to discuss the possibility of rejoining the iranian nuclear deal looks to pursue diplomacy with the regime and top officials of the administration

say the president does want to see iran comply with the agreement that is signed on to first. that's a decision on actually rejoining the controversial agreement along way off. this comes after iranian president to return on the deal but he doesn't want washington to give up on anything. a fox news national security from foreign affairs analyst. it seems like iran is up its tricks, we will i abide by the deal, no new problem for us but you have to drop all the sanctions that cripple our country first, you have to do everything and then we will behave, is that -- do i have that right? >> of course you have many know because we focus on the so many years, we have the bottom line of the whole deal since 2015. it is very simple. we help iran financially by releasing money, by allowing trade, they commit not to go in

the way of military strategy and by weapon. that's the bottom line of all of it. the problem was over the past five or six years we applied that deal in the eye iranian spot weapons bought antiaircraft missiles, ballistic missiles, use them from yemen, i wrong, attacked her bases. the behavior of the iranian regime even before president trump canceled the deal was not really executing what we wanted them to do. the biden administration has to decide what's a course of action for the next month and year. eric: the foreign minister of iran wrote foreign affairs this the day before yesterday. iran wants the nuclear deal is made. they want to stick with the deal, you can understand that that they agreed to. he says u.s. president joe biden can choose a better path and failed policy of maximum pressure in returning to the

deal as predecessor abandoned. if he does iran will likewise return to full implementation of our commitment to the nuclear deal but if washington instead insist on constructing in sessions this opportunity will be lost. do you think the maximum pressure has failed or has a put them in a corner crippling their economy? they have an uprising more protest by the opposition on the street, they really been put in a box, or have they not? >> of course we have boxed them, they're at a point right now after i do mention they had demonstrations, not just on iran, and iraq, lebanon and elsewhere, we have isolated them up at the maximum pressures now is time for the biden administration to build on this and demand the other stuff, what is the other stuff that they stop buying long-range missiles, that they withdraw their militias from the region, that they will stop suppressing their own populace. if they do this and of course

stop the nuclear process then i think that we could go back to the deal but i want regime and possible option to do because if they start making concessions they will start having more problems inside their country. eric: do you think president trump in a sense did president biden a favor by having the maximum pressure by being tougher and being the toughest on iran, tougher than the biden administration certainly was and now that gives president biden more leverage over tehran and try to get some success and achievements where the obama administration was unable to do that? >> eric, if we take the names out to depoliticize, take trump out, take biden out the previous u.s. a administration build the system that the current administration, if they use it, they could advance, they could make progress with regard to

ironic and we have abraham accord the also has to be protected, we have new allies in the region, yes my answer to you what was achieved in the last four years can build tremendous advancement for the next four years. eric: finally, what do you expect will happen, there are those who support the deal that say they will stop and has prevented iran from preventing a nuclear bomb, they don't always mention there is a provision that gives them a clear path to getting a bomb if they want in a decade or so. how do you see this rolling out? >> my feeling the team dealing with this in the administration now wants to address two issues, on the one hand not to let the deal collapsed because they have commitments, they have them with some companies that want to go into business on the one hand and the other hand you have israel, yet this air coalition that are very nervous. what they may do, they might let a little bit of freedom, economic freedom for the iranians under human rights and

on the other hand, tell our allies let's go altogether and discuss long-range missiles, iranian behavior, we will be seeing two policies happening at the same time i believe in the next few months. eric: the president's would be rolling this out in talking with the other allies of the p5 plus one and others were part of the deal will see what happens, it was good to see you. thank you. arthel: snow and malibu, is that a typo? okay well winter storms, sweeping across the u.s. this week, will you see rain or snow. malibu? forecast is up next. ♪ chocolate would be good... snacking should be sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar.
