"fox news live" continues with eric and arthel. i'm griff jenkins along with >> breaking news the senate has passed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, a step closer to president biden's does, the vote 50-49 and it comes after senators work through the night. a process called vote-a-rama. the measurable back to the house for its final approval expected this coming week. welcome to our new look and new newscast, fox news live. >> gop lawmakers sounding the

alarm over an escalating border crisis as the biden administration considers a new option to house more unaccompanied migrant children arriving in this country. there are new developments in two scandals involving andrew cuomo. eric: we are waiting for president biden to speak. we will bring you that. we have live team coverage on all these stories. alec:following the latest, lucas tomlinson has more on the migrants, and monitoring the situation on the southern border but let's begin with chad program in alexandria, virginia with more on the covid-19 relief

bill and talk about why it was so close. by one vote. were you surprised? >> reporter: it was a tight vote. they thought they would do this on partyline it was just that, 50-49. dan sullivan, republican senator from alaska was absent because of family matters in alaska. they thought they would have to bring in vice president harris to break the tie. democrats new they had to stick together and they did. chuck schumer worked to get joe manchin. >> people have new differences all the time. the overwhelming point here, every one in our caucus realizes we have to pull together. unity, unity, that is how we get this done. >> reporter: joe manchin pushed for a lower dollar figure before extra unemployment benefits in the house bill rather than an extra $400 a week but they

agreed to extend the aid into september. mitch mcconnell says democrats should have worked across the aisle on the bill. >> voters picked a president who promised unity and bipartisanship. they ram through what they call the most progressive domestic legislation in a generation on a razor thin majority in both houses. >> reporter: steny hoyer plans to move this bill in the house of representatives on tuesday. >> i want to talk about two things. minority leader mcconnell's comments, went on to say last

year covid-19 relief was passed. they push through something on a partisan scale but some democrats pushed back and said that is because democrats were willing to go along with the bill regardless of if it is going to benefit the republican senator within republican president. what do you think about that? >> reporter: that is an issue, lots of democratic scar tissue from 2009 when democrats tried to move bills in the financial crisis and got very little help from republicans and so joe biden and democrats learned their lesson, they are going to play ball with republicans. keep in mind a razor thin margin mcconnell referred to. it is going to get thinner when they try to move this in the house of representatives. marcia fudge, democratic representative from cleveland up

to be behind secretary, her confirmation vote in the past hour and a half for wednesday afternoon. as it stands right now in the house of representatives democrats can only lose four votes and still pass this bill and a lot of liberals are starting to balk at this bill. arthel: let me break in and take president biden. >> when we took office 45 days ago i promised the american people help was on the way. today i can say we have taken one more giant step toward delivering on that promise. help is on the way. i want to start by thanking the vice president and all the senators who worked so hard to reach compromise, do the right thing for the american people during this crisis, and voted to pass the american rescue plan. it obviously wasn't easy. it wasn't always pretty, but it was so desperately needed,

urgently needed. also, i also need to say a few words about majority leader chuck schumer who i spoke with many times and again this morning. i served in the senate as you know for many years. i have never seen anyone work as skillfully, as ably, as patiently, with determination to deliver such a consequential piece of legislation so urgently needed as the american rescue plan. chuck schumer, senator chuck schumer, when the country needed you most you lead and you delivered. neither i nor the country will forget that. it is not a moment too soon. i'm talking about the urgency of this need, for over a year the american people were told they were on their own. we have seen how hard that has

been on so many americans. as of last night, 519,064 lives lost to the virus. that many empty chairs this morning at the breakfast table, gone. more than 400 small businesses closed unnecessarily. millions of people out of work through no fault of their own. i want to emphasize that, through no fault of their own. food bank lines stretching for miles. did you ever think you would see that in america? cities all across this country. families facing the threat of eviction. this nation suffers too much for much too long. everything in this package is designed to relieve the suffering and meet the most urgent needs of the nation and put us in a better position to prevail. starting with beating this virus and vaccinating the country.

resources of this plan will be used to expand and speed up manufacturing and distribution of vaccines so we can get every single american vaccinated sooner rather than later. i believe we will have enough by the middle of may to vaccinate, it will get harder to getting your arm but that is how much vaccine we will have. we will hire more vaccinate or's, set up more vaccination sites to get the country in a place to get back to normal. this plan will get checks out the door starting this month to the american people who so desperately need the help of. many are lying in bed at night staring at the ceiling wondering will i lose my job if i haven't already? will i lose my insurance? will i lose my home? over 85% of american households get direct payments of $1,400 per person. typical middle-class family of four, husband and wife working making 100,$000 year total,

three kids, $5,600, with two kids, $5,600 will be on the way soon. that means the mortgage can get paid, the child can stay in community college, maintaining health insurance you have, that will make a big difference in so many lives in this country. unemployment benefits will be extended for 11 million americans who lost their jobs, who last night again rely -- were lying in bed thinking i'm going to lose my unemployment insurance in a week or so. schools will have the resources they need to open safely. state and local governments that have lost tens of thousands of essential workers will have the resources they need available to them, for those laid-off police officers, teachers and nurses that can be hired. these are essential personnel. the american rescue plan lowers healthcare premiums. food nutrition assistance.

it is hard to believe that 24 million adults, and 11 million children, as i speak, in the united states, suffer from food insecurity. that means simply they don't have enough food to eat. did you ever imagine in the united states of america you would see lines literally miles long. folks in their automobiles waiting for a box of food to be put in the trunk. i stood in line handing out food. people coming up, never ever thought they would be in that position. families behind on rent and mortgage payments so they are not thrown out of their homes. the bottom line is this. this plan puts us on a path to beating the virus, give those

families who are struggling for what they need to get through this moment, this plan gives small businesses a fighting chance to survive. and one more thing, this plan is historic. taken altogether this plan is going to make it possible to cut child poverty in half. let me say it again, to cut child poverty in half there's much more to this bill but let me make one final point. when i was elected, i said we would get the government out of the business of battling on twitter and back in the business of delivering for the american people, making a difference in the lives, a fighting chance. the government can work for them. passing the american rescue plan will do that. it may sound strange, but a lot

of senators and congressmen, i really want to thank the american people for making all this possible. how do they make it possible? quite frankly without the overwhelming bipartisan support of the american people, this would not have happened. your elected officials heard you, overwhelming -- every public opinion poll shows overwhelming support for this plan and for the last week every public opinion poll showed people want this. they believe it is needed and they believe it is urgent. now this bill returns to the house of representatives which has done a good job from the beginning. i hope it will find quick passage so it can be sent to my desk to be signed into law. past the american rescue plan will have heeded the voice of the american people, not ignored their voices.

bypassing this plan we will have delivered real tangible results to the american people and their families. to they will see and to know and to feel the change in their own lives by passing this plan, we will improve this government, this democracy. this has to be done to improve people's lives. one more thing. the vast majority of economists, left, right and center from wall street to private economic polling initiatives, the economists as i said left, right, and center say in addition to the needs people have we need this to grow the economy. if we hadn't spent this money and re-created the incentive to

make a good living, we will be in real trouble. over 6 million jobs by itself, increase gross to mystic product, put the nation in position to outcompete the rest of the world while the rest of the world is moving, particularly china. as tough as this moment is, there are brighter days ahead. it is never a good bet to bet against america, against the american people. we are going to get there, the leading economy in the world. are going to be the most successful economy in the world. because of you, the american people. thank you and god bless you and may god protect our troops.

arthel: president biden thanking the american people for their support of his bill. >> the republican vote and vote-a-rama for the past 24 hours including senator manchin. >> going to be good, going to succeed moving forward. look, the american people strongly support this. that is the key. that is going to continue to seep down through the public including republican friends. a lot of pressure on them. thank you. arthel: president biden fielding a question from the white house correspondent. he is still going. >> bernie sanders said this is the most progressive bill you

have ever seen pass and the compromise is in effect with the essence of fulfillment. with $300. but that extends -- the end result is essentially -- i don't think any compromise, the essence of what i put in. thank you. arthel: the last question was about compromise and the president pointing out there was compromise, democrats wanted $400 a week, they ended up with $300 a week thanks to west virginia senator joe manchin, but also thinking the american people for their support, as well as lawmakers know where they stand on the covid-19 bill. he says it wasn't pretty.

it wasn't always easy. it was desperately needed. he also pointed out the money will aid increasing vaccine distribution, to hire more vaccinate is, reopening skills, the $1,400 stimulus check would help american families to put food on their table and keep roofs over their heads and he shouted out, chuck schumer saying you delivered, i want to ask is that a premature pat on the back, this bill would go back to the house and it would face opposition from more progressive or liberal lawmakers in the house. is this going to pass next week if it hits the house again?

jedediah: they could only lose four vote in the house of representatives. when it passed the house of representatives a week ago and we hours of saturday morning they lost two moderate democrats. now you have infuriating the liberal side of the democratic caucus, these changes especially those to accommodate joe manchin, not having an increase in the minimum wage is an issue. this is what we wanted. they wanted a bigger bill, a lot of progressives in the house of representatives. there's reason why extending, assigned tuesday to be passed this bill, they are going to lose another house democrat and that margin in the house gets smaller come wednesday. marcia fudge, the representative from cleveland has been nominated to become the hud secretary, her confirmation vote is wednesday afternoon so democrats have to make this case, do they want to imperil president biden on his first legislative initiative, pass this bill and 90% of what you

wanted? that is what legislation is. that is why they were here until 11:00 last night when they started a rollcall at 11:03 in the morning on friday and it took until almost 11:00 at night to finish that particular vote because they were negotiating on stage so it will be a messy couple of days in the house of representatives but nancy pelosi, speaker of the house, is the best vote counter that walked in the door of the capital since the 1950s and 60s. she has a calling card of passing bills with narrow margins. she proved that last saturday. the question is can she do it again? this is the challenge for joe biden, a phone call to liberal democrats who might balk especially when they are staring at losing yet another democrat in the house of representatives with marcia fudge and her confirmation vote on wednesday. one last thing, this portends another problem down the road.

this much trouble to pass a coronavirus bill in the house with these narrow margins, what does it mean for immigration reform, gun legislation, a panoply of other progressive policy initiatives? they can't do those things with these narrow margins. this might be the only thing they are able to do. they might be able to move something through the house of representatives, that's and margin. in the senate you need 60 votes. avail get 50 vote today there is a reason they are past that because it didn't go the route of the filibuster here. they have burned that option, this reconciliation packet only applies once per fiscal year so they burned that option. anything else they have to wait until after october 1st, the new fiscal year and can't do policy initiatives like guns or climate change in an economic, budget bill which is what reconciliation is so this might be a for her. arthel: i agree with what this

foreshadows for the next four years and also you are right, we can but the phones are burning up, from the president down, making phone calls, but there's a lot of conversation going on to beat this tuesday rush if you will. it wasn't easy, wasn't always pretty, but desperately needed. thank you for your analysis. eric. eric: for more on the stimulus bill, we just heard from the president, let's bring arizona congresswoman debbie lasko who serves on the energy and commerce committee. welcome. we just heard the president say in his words this will bring tangible results to americans but we just heard from the democratic progressive to steadfast republicans it faces challenges. what do you predict for tuesday in the house? >> as you have seen not one

single republican has voted for this bill and i expect not one republican will vote for it when it comes back over to the house. there is a good reason for that. this is a boondoggle, $1.9 trillion boondoggle. do you know that only 9% of this bill actually goes toward vaccinations or anything health related to combat covid-19, and $1 trillion of the past five covid-19 relief bills haven't been sent yet. about half of this $1.9 trillion bill won't even be sent until 2024, so there's a lot in this bill that has nothing to do with covid-19 and that is why republicans are rejecting it. we don't want to burden all of those children and grandchildren with interest charges on the future.

we have to have a more targeted approach. eric: the president didn't refer to that. it will cut child poverty by half, provide desperately needed checks for people, 40 million americans, 18 million unemployed, 8 million jobs not coming back. what do you say to that? this is the type of bill that we need. >> president biden clearly has different priorities for the american people and quite frankly of course he didn't say that about half of this won't even be spent until 2022-2024 and that is a partisan wish list. they know that. they knew they get republican support and that is why they did the reconciliation bill. they only needed a simple majority in the senate. they didn't get any input from

republicans. when biden said in his press conference that there was negotiation it was negotiation within the democrats. they didn't talk to republicans. when he goes on media and says he wants to work with everybody, cutting out 74 million people that voted for trump and all of the republicans that were elected in congress. it is very close. i think they are overreaching. eric: what will you do and what will you say on tuesday? >> i am going to vote no just like i did last time because we need a more targeted approach. that is what republicans are saying. we have five covid-19 relief bills ready, donald trump and steve mnuchin reached out to the democrats and we have bipartisan bills. this is not a bipartisan bill. it is not targeted for covid-19

relief. clearly half of it isn't even going to be spent until after the pandemic is over and we still have $1 trillion left from the last packages that haven't been spent. this is a bailout to mostly democrat run states that close their businesses and so they have high unemployment. it is favoring those states that have high unemployment and it is because those democrat states basically closed down their businesses. eric: a no vote on tuesday from congresswoman debbie lasko of arizona. we will see what happens if democrats try to rush this before marcia fudge leaves, there's one less vote there. thank you for joining us on fox news live.

>> politics prevail the pandemic persists with 520,430 covid-19 related desks and there has been progress and health officials unveiling a new set of rules allowing state to reopen themepark stadiums and outdoor entertainment venues at limited capacity as early as april 1st and warned against lifting covid-19 prevention measures too soon. let's bring in dr. nicole saphier. too many this is good news, themepark, dodger stadium reopening next month, limited capacity again, plus only california residents can attend in an effort to cross pollination. is california on the right track? >> a good sign for california. california has had a difficult

six months. viral transmission out of control, high level of debt, and the cases are down as well -- there's a time to reevaluate what their plan is. all of this is been a combination of mitigation strategy coupled with coming off of holiday gatherings across the country. they are saying time to open up and the best way to do it is to do it correctly. we still have restrictions on capacity, make sure about outdoor venues possibly and the fact that they are saying we opening up but not to people outside the state. that is the way they are controlling their data. that is something that did not occur year ago. if you remember in the northeast they were skyrocketing and we had stay-at-home orders and every one left.

everyone left for florida. arthel: i am short of time and want to cover more. down to texas, texas governor greg abbott as of next wednesday march 10th texans are not mandated to wear masks in public and businesses can reopen at full capacity. governor abbott tried to modify his order by saying he is still urging people to wear masks, if businesses don't feel safe reopening they don't have to. the confusion and potential confrontation already baked in? >> sure. they are trying to mirror what has been going along in florida. at this point it is hard to do that about face. they need to do a slow roll out. reopening -- rising vaccine-induced immunity but the free-for-all can be difficult especially for those businesses

who feel pressure saying they want to wear masks or not, there could be bias or discrimination. one thing texas is doing right is age-based vaccination and focusing on vaccinating the most vulnerable and that is the path forward why we have a limited vaccine supply and viral transmission. arthel: warning against lifting any measures too soon. director rochelle rubin ski had something to say about this. >> this report is a critical reminder, with covid-19 in communities and continued threat of more transmissible virus variance which has been detected in 48 states, strictly following prevention measures at the end to this pandemic and starts as a

warning about premature lifting of prevention measures. arthel: doctor anthony fauci warning about another surge, we are all feeling cooped up, what is your advice? >> the viral variance, it should not be done in haste. the warmer weather, they will utilize the outdoor space but we want to make sure we are doing it smartly. we can only sell selected masks. no one is stopping you from wearing a mask but we have more information. arthel: people are listening to you. we are tight on time but you are giving me a choice. should i wear a mask or not? medically speaking should i wear a mask? >> if you are vaccinated and a high-risk vulnerable person that i recommend you should consider

wearing a mask. if you are around other people were not vaccinated because vaccines are not 100% foolproof. if you are a lower risk person with natural or vaccine-induced immunity does time, you don't have to wear a mask all the time but vaccine is not 100%. arthel: that goes against what the cdc is saying, still wear the mask, hang on for a few more months. >> wouldn't be the first time i disagree with the cdc, and respect scientific opinions. deductive reasoning and common sense need to play a role, can't wait for the trials to lead the way more damage is done just like the cdc, i support certain things, when i was against them. if you are vulnerable you are in a high-risk situation you should consider wearing a mask, i certainly do.

change with the senate moving forward on the covid-19 relief bill, $2 trillion measure which will now go back to the house, democrats praising the measure is crucial to helping people who are struggling during the pandemic but they seeds too much spending for a crisis that is almost over. the senate bill passed without any republican voting, potential pushback from liberal lawmakers, the politics of all of this and does this process portend over

the next you years or did the republicans have legitimate concerns. >> reporter: at the end of the day the bigger question was the size of the package and the philosophy around it, presumption of the administration is you need to go in big and early big. one of the mistakes is the 2007-8-9 financial crisis, not enough stimulus at the beginning last year's. spend upfront you will have a similar drag on recovery.

it broke across political lines but it was a reflection of centrist democrats, they cut the amount that was going to be paid out to people. they pulled the date forward so it ends earlier but people staying on unemployment, they wanted to make sure there was enough to raise the child tax credit. reconciliation has been used by republicans as well as democrats with very narrow votes on policy issue for decades. i am not sure this was out of the ordinary. arthel: they in standard $300 checks through august -- >> that is right but the initial ask was to take it away in october so it was back to september 6th and manchin reflected that instinct that prevailed. he wanted this to go into

october, wanted it scaled back so saw that happen. arthel: that is negotiating. and the other big story, new york attorney general letitia james request the documents that could be pertinent in the investigation of the sexual harassment case involving governor andrew cuomo must be preserved. the question is how transparent must the governor and his administration be on this matter especially since according to reports his aide pushed new york health officials to edit its reporter last july so it only counted residents who passed away inside nursing homes and not those who died later after being transferred to a hospital. >> he is in effect problem in two fronts. when is sexual harassment, what i was trying to say, sorry for

that. there are charges or accusations against him and would like to see the legal apparatus within new york. investigate this and he is going to have to be forthcoming. now that it is public, it will be in difficulty if he is an transparent. the other issue of the governor being accused of hiding deaths in nursing homes the wall street journal broke the story earlier this week that his aides asked state authorities to trim the numbers and from the numbers of the deaths associated directly within nursing homes and not those who were transferred out of nursing homes to hospitals where they died. the number was close to 10,000,

back 6400 and what the attorney general found is it was closer to 15,000 so you will see that investigation continue. people want to get to the bottom of policies following federal guidelines and transfer somebody to the nursing home that you are convinced would not be in a position to transmit the disease but that didn't happen. arthel: good on the wall street journal for breaking that story. according to this week's quinnipiac poll 55% think cuomo should not re-sign but 59% say they do not want him to run for reelection next year in 2022. how might these dueling scandals change his political path? >> 2022 is a ways off and he can make up a lot of ground between now and then particularly if the covid-19 medication goes well. we will see what happens with the harassment accusations.

the previous guest, you are right, she is wrong. you've got to wear a mask even if you are vaccinated. it is unclear to the health authorities with you can still transmit the disease. you can contract it, you just don't get sick but it is possible you are transmitting it to somebody else. you bring it home to your parents or grandparents, you don't want that to happen. all the health authorities are saying you must wear a mask. it is unclear whether vaccinated people can still transmit the disease. arthel: i was going to complement your floating shelf before you started with me on the mask issue. >> it is so obvious i am surprised this is still a point of debate. it shouldn't be. wearing a mask protects you, it protects others. the vaccination protects you even more but you must wear a mask to protect others. arthel: we believe it there. thank you very much.
