>> when the president asked me to serve in this role we talked about bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room and rebuilding trust with the american people will be central. todd: the white house press secretary promised transparency but the biden press team is being accused of trying to screen reporter questions. >> in a report citing white house reporters who claim the biden team wanted questions in advance for joining us live to react commentary writer for the washington examiner, thanks for being here, appreciate it. the white house statement on this issue reads, quote, our goal is to make the daily

briefing as useful and informative as possible for reporters and the public. partisan meeting that objective means regularly engaging with reporters who will be in the briefing room who understand how the white house is a beginning of them information they need. not exactly confirmation or denial. if this is true accusations at this point, what is the danger in this? >> reporter: the daily beast is not a right-wing outlet. they faced a lot of flak for this story, buried in the report they said it is possible jen psaki is just trying to screen questions to answer more thoroughly but if that were the case why the need for the constant circling back? she already stand or stand the topic being asked about, use our dodge questions about robin hood and that have to do with donald trump saying he will circle back. that doesn't -- to her credit

she has called on every member of the briefing room so far but that could change. we are only fortnight into this administration. todd: somebody says, tell me what you're going to ask me and the number one tenet of journalism is telling those people know, i can't do that. if we want that you can't do the story. to the extent this is true, why would they have the audacity, why would i have the audacity to ask for that when they should know that is not how the game is played? >> for all of the trump complaints about the fake news media sparring with journalists he was sort of an open book. reporter spent ample time wandering around the west wing and every time he was getting off and off a plane, answer how many comments and questions. with the biden white house biden

himself spends very little time answering questions from reporters. even though the biden administration has resurrected the daily white house and the daily state department press briefings and they are putting out more statements it is a lot more controlled. we do not know what biden is thinking on covid-19 negotiations or border policy or executive action until it is rolled out so the lack of pushback from a lot of reporters is troubling but we saw this coming during the campaign. shannon: chicago mayor lori lightfoot blames the trump administration for this impasse with the teachers union. >> it is a difficult situation and we are in it still because of the incompetence of the previous administration. shannon: unless i have my information wrong he's not in office anymore. why the impact now?

we have a new administration and if you are blaming the old administration it is the old administration, they are no longer in power. >> we didn't see teachers unions asking the trump administration for better, plexiglas or ppe. we saw them asking to defund the police in places like los angeles or chicago. in general pushback until the vaccine came out. now the vaccine has come out and in cities like chicago the teachers are far ahead of most of the line. time for the teachers union to put up or shut up. you get the jab in the army or go back into the classroom, and lightfoot is in the same battle, indigo blue city may years in. lightfoot just doesn't want to risk the fact that chicago voters, public sector unions are

not great. todd: appreciate your time and insight. >> elon musk's starship explodes again. todd: new york democrats accuse of a cuomo cover-up blocking a subpoena into the nursing home scandal. a push for that, democrats fear retribution. he explains next. ng an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free.

not in a committee meeting but the legislation requires and issuance of subpoena from a legislative committee, the chairman can do it on his own initiative or majority vote of the committee. i brought that motion. the chairman of this committee has talked about issuing subpoenas on this matter for months. the bombshell report from the attorney general last week on nursing home deaths, we felt the appropriate time to push the issue. i have been calling and my colleagues have been calling for issuances of these subpoenas and a full investigation of this matter for months, 8 or 9 months, bring up the request for a subpoena and shut off my microphone and the chairman does not allow committee members to take a vote on it based on his

counsel telling him there is a rule but that rule does not exist. >> we surprised by this pushback and why is it important to have this information out. ? >> i'm not surprised by this pushback. democrats have a supermajority in both houses of the state legislature, they have granted never before granted executive powers to the governor then march of last year. we are at 11 months of total dictatorial power by governor cuomo with supermajority in both houses of new york state. it is past time for this investigation. i think the ag's report is the tip of the iceberg on this matter. the ag was governor cuomo's hand-picked attorney general candidate two years ago. it is time that we find out what

the truth is and how devastating the governor's march 20 fifth order to send covid-19 patients into nursing homes, like fire on dry grass is the way the governor described concern over nursing homes, yet he ordered those positive patients into nursing homes. jillian: thousands of people who lost loved ones who have been trying to get answers would completely agree with you and say now is the time to get answers. keep us updated. i want to see what happens with it. thank you for joining us. todd: major city still recovering after a summer of violence and a rider freed twice by the bail fund backed by kamala harris is charged again, the biden administration urging illegal immigrants but what

about minority americans falling behind on vaccinations at home? we discussed next.

>> the kremlin present off calls to free alexi navalny who was sentenced to prison an attempt to intimidate russian citizens. jillian: benjamin hall is live as the us ways action against moscow. >> no doubt this is a politically motivated sentence. novali has millions of followers, he is on his way to up colony in the wilds of russia and for almost 3 years, when he

was lying in a coma having been poisoned he called the hearing a show trial order to buy the kremlin. 900 of his supporters were arrested yesterday, 5000 over the weekend in 70 cities around russia. secretary of state blinkian wrote the us is deeply concerned by russia's actions, we reiterate his immediate and unconditional release of the release of all those wrongfully detained for exercising their rights, there are growing calls for president biden to head to an inner circle with personal sanctions. all the honor guard surrounded him, the hope is they must -- sanctions do not appear to frame covid-19, he's afraid of his own people rising against him more than us sanctions. this is a solar wind pact, russia is a major foreign in the

side, waiting told president biden plans to handle that relationship. todd: the biden administration using illegal immigrants, urging them to get covid-19 vaccinations despite new data showing back and hispanic americans receiving a fraction of the available doses. giano caldwell and daniel perez. thanks for being here. these numbers are bad. 5% of vaccine supply, 11% of the vaccine supply given to hispanic americans, those do not track, shouldn't the emphasis be on raising those numbers, the ones you see on your screen versus prioritizing illegal immigrants? >> i 100% agree and looking at data by the national urban league, african americans are 3 times more likely to be affected by covid-19 than white counterparts, two times more likely to die compared to white

counterparts. knowing african-americans are 13 for% of the us population. african-americans, the vaccine, we know this because 1932 experiment in which 600 every in american men were lord in for the idea of free healthcare, stuffed with syphilis. this created a narrative that the government can't be trusted and kamala harris and the greater fear by saying she couldn't trust the vaccine produced under trump. african-americans throughout the country, democratic politicians inherited the same talk which leaves us in an unfortunate state. todd: people could die because of this. here is what the dhs and biden administration had to say, quote, it is a moral and public

health imperatives that they have access to the vaccine. dhs is committed to ensuring every individual need the vaccine can get one regardless of their immigration status. this herd immunity argument give shots in arms, how important is it for your constituents to get vaccinated, could call behind priority. >> that is the most important part of this discussion. if there was a circle of vaccines available, that would be a different conversation to have but the amount of individuals that want to receive the vaccine in florida outperformed what is available today. that is not just for the hispanic community but across

the board. we are talking about the hispanics and african-american. 90,000 vaccines provided for the african-american community, and hispanics, the messaging, there is a fear of government of the vaccine of covid-19, communities that are most concerned this was we have been able to do is infiltrate those communities better and the way we've been able to do that is going to places of warship and the place of war should can get into these communities, entities who do a better job with the government itself. in the state of florida we are going to get 50 the next week and have complete involvement,

we are helping as much as we can. todd: one more question for each of you. the left pushes the quality, calling it equity. why aren't. you states doing better vaccinating black and latino -- >> it hasn't been a priority, covid-19 has been politicized by democrats and this is something that has to stop. this shouldn't be going on in any administration. a lot of african-americans are dying, being infected in record numbers and that should never be the case. providing help for all. todd: you give great answers what you're doing to help vaccinate your community was what can the rest of us do to follow suit? >> most left-leaning states are doing 100% distribution of

vaccines, we have a great effort of private partners and get out as quick as we can and what they need the most. it is a matter of public-private partnership. and stay away from the private sector. >> individuals based on the color of their skin are or are not getting this vaccine. we appreciate your time and your insight. todd: a man bail them in jail twice is back in custody. thomas mosley has been arrested for damaging a minnesota police precinct over the summer after being released both times he has been arrested for possession of a firearm while carrying marijuana. kamala harris with a fund that helped get him out of jail. florida governor rhonda santos

will work with big tech proposing a number of measures to reign in silicon valley including allowing social media users sue platforms over violations. >> to bring civil suits under the florida deceptive and unfair trade practice statute and the state attorney general to do that as well. it has been a big fight in the legislative session, and most folks want protections for their privacy and data. most folks want protection for being the platforms and it is not just being banned from twitter or something. these companies can collude and deny you if you are small business a payment processing and email and text and go to a rally they don't like or engage in that, all of a sudden your flower business is decapitated for a month because they take action. jillian: desantis is considering
