>> white house press secretary jen psaki is standing by for an exclusive interview. we'll talk to her live in a minute. mary bruce starts us off, good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. while president biden is moving quickly to fulfill that promise to finally get this virus under control, launching a major reset of the nation's approach and declaring, quote, a full-scale wartime effort to combat this pandemic, but the president is also blunt in saying there is still a very long road ahead. this morning, president biden is ramping up the war on covid-19, calling the vaccine rollout so far a dismal failure. >> 400,000 americans have died. that's more than have died in all of world war ii. 400,000. this is a wartime undertaking. >> reporter: biden is launching a new national strategy to control the virus and increase vaccinations and making this promise to americans. >> we will defeat this pandemic. let me be the clearest on this point, help is on the way. >> reporter: the president thursday taking ten executive

actions including requiring masks on interstate planes, trains and buses and ordering international travelers to get a negative covid test before coming to the u.s. and quarantine once they arrive. he's also using the defense production act to order private companies to manufacture needed supplies like swabs, masks and specialized syringes that would allow health care workers to get an extra dose of vaccine out of pfizer vials increasing the number of available doses, but with january on track to be the deadliest month yet, biden also delivering a dose of reality. >> let me be very clear, things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. >> reporter: the president is promising 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days and bristled when a reporter asked if he should be aiming higher. >> is that high enough? shouldn't you set the bar higher? >> when i announced it you all said it's not possible. come on, give me a break, man. it's a good start, 100 million. thank you. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci later calling the president's

goal reasonable with the aim now to try to get most americans vaccinated by the middle of the year. >> i believe by the time we get to the fall we will approach a degree of normality. >> you're saying the majority of americans will be vaccinated by the fall? >> no, i didn't say that. i said if we get the majority of americans, 70%, 85% vaccinated, we could have a degree of herd immunity that would get us back to normal. the concern i have, and something we're working on, is getting people who have vaccine hesitancy who don't want to get vaccinated because many people are skeptical about that. >> reporter: after being sidelined for months by president trump, dr. fauci back in the briefing room and seemingly relieved. >> it was really something that you didn't feel that you could actually say something and there wouldn't be any repercussions about it. the idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, what the evidence -- what the science is and know that's it, let the science speak, it is somewhat of a liberating feeling. >> reporter: now, today the

president is shifting his focus to the economic fallout of this crisis taking executive actions intended to provide more aid to families who are really struggling to put food on the table, and also looking at ways to try to speed the delivery of those direct stimulus checks and also looking at ways to help workers who simply may not feel safer returning to the job. george, these are all actions intended to help americans but to help stabilize the economy. >> thanks very much. let's bring in jen psaki. jen, welcome to your first "gma" as press secretary. as someone who had that job a long time ago i know it's both a privilege and a challenge, and i envy the fact your first press briefing went a lot more smoothly than mine. >> well, george, we'll see how today goes, so -- >> let's get to some of the questions. we saw the president bristle at the idea that his goal for 100 million vaccines is not ambitious enough but that's not just a press complaint. it's not just a partisan complaint. dr. paul offit says we can do better, and we have to do better. >> well, george, we're going to

wake up, and today is the president's second full day in office. he's waking up right now probably thinking about covid and what we're going to do to get the pandemic under control, and our objective in setting that bold goal, a goal that many health officials called bold at the time, still continues to be is to set our own markers but to also set markers for the american people but when we reach that goal, and we're confident we will, we'll build from there. so we're not packing our bags at 100 million shots in the arms of americans, but we want to make sure that people know that we're going to hold ourselves accountable and do everything we're getting as many vaccinated as possible. >> there were signs of unity at the inaugural, the theme of the president's address but you are already running up against the limits of unity, you know, the republicans are signaling that your economic plan is too big. mitch mcconnell said he looked at the president's first day and said it looks like a big step in the wrong direction, and kevin mccarthy is complaining about

the immigration plan and the climate plan and can't even come to an agreement on how to run the senate so is reality setting in? >> well, first, the package that the president proposed is anything because the crises are big and the components in there, from money for vaccine distribution to allowing americans to apply for unemployment insurance, money to re-open schools, those are all key components to get us through this pivotal period of time. but this is exactly how it should work, george, and it feels maybe unfamiliar to many people including even all of you. the president of the united states laid out his agenda and laid out his bold vision. there's going to be a discussion with members of congress with both parties about where we go from here. they'll like some pieces, they won't like some pieces. we'll figure out what the sausage looks like when it comes out of the machine. but at the end of the day he felt it was important to lay out his bold vision for covid and addressing it but also immigration, a crisis that has not been addressed in many years

and is long overdue. >> i know the president wants to work with republicans, hopes republicans come aboard on his package, but you might face the prospect of having to go it alone. democrats with those 50 votes in the senate. is that -- is the president committed to maintaining the filibuster so you can do that. >> well, george, he is an optimist by nature i can confirm for the american public, but he's also a believer having spent 36 years in the senate that when the country is facing a crisis, and we're facing multiple right now, not just health, the pandemic, that democrats and republicans are going to have to come together to agree on a package to address this crisis because it's impacting democrats, republicans, red states, blue states, and he thinks we can get to a bipartisan package. at the same time we're not going to take tools off the table because addressing this is what he was elected to do, but we'll start and we'll pursue a bipartisan package first and do all the work to have those conversations. >> right, you understood what i meant, doing away with the filibuster, not keeping it. let's talk about impeachment. the republicans already saying they want to delay the impeachment trial for a couple of weeks. is that better for the president

so you can get more of your cabinet in, or would you prefer to get it done right away? >> the good news is our cabinet is starting to get confirmed. we want it to be expedited but it looks like lloyd austin is on his way to confirmation. avril haines was just sworn in by the vice president yesterday. we need this to pick up. alejandro mayorkas, getting him in is pivotal. but, you know, george, again, the president is somebody who's focused on working with both parties, to get both his cabinet through, get -- address the crises we're facing and that's what we will work to do every day. we'll see if we're successful. >> general psaki, thanks for joining us. we'll have more now on the vaccine rollout. you heard the white house press secretary talk about the effort to get them to americans. out of nearly 38 million distributed doses, just over 17.5 million have received it. whit johnson joins us now from a mass vaccination center in new york city. good morning, whit. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. new york state has already used

up 93% of its supply of first doses of vaccine and is on pace to run out by tend of the day. and frustration is mounting across the country as millions of americans who qualify for a vaccine right now can't get an appointment. this morning, amid fears of a new covid variant on the rise in california, the pace of the vaccine rollout growing more desperate. wait times for a shot reaching five hours at the largest capacity vaccine site in the u.s., dodger stadium. >> these shots are a way to save more lives. once we're at full capacity this site can comfortably in the same hours we have here help at least 12,000 people get vaccinated. >> reporter: new york city expecting to burn through its supply by the end of the week. mayor bill de blasio now asking the federal government for permission to use second doses as first doses. >> we need more vaccine and we need it now. >> reporter: but the cdc urging people to try to stay within

that three to four-week schedule for that second shot. >> what we have here is vaccine that's ready to go. >> reporter: at lenox hill hospital, if the vaccines aren't replenished soon they're set to run out of first doses within days. when you open up appointments how quickly are they booking up? >> minutes. >> within minutes? >> within minutes. i think we opened up a thousand appointments and they went in just under ten minutes. >> reporter: in an effort to curb vaccine waste, "operation warp speed" is now enhancing supply kits so that each pfizer vaccine vial can yield six doses instead of five. this as reports surface that some states aren't recording how many unused or spoiled doses they're wasting. figures they are required to report to the cdc. among the lives lost, andre pelletier. his kids learning of his diagnosis just days before christmas. he passed away january 12th. >> we watched him fight for every breath that he took. >> reporter: andre honored by the new hampshire department of

public works where he worked for 46 years. >> covid's real, people. please, social distance, wear your mask, wash your hands. >> reporter: and there is some encouraging news on the horizon. dr. anthony fauci says johnson & johnson could apply for emergency use authorization within the next couple of weeks. for its single-dose vaccine. that would be the third vaccine to come online in the united states. and a board member said they have a goal of producing 100 million doses for americans by april, cecilia. >> we'll take any good news we can get. okay, whit. thank you so much. we turn now to more on president trump's senate impeachment trial. he's got a new defense lawyer, but the question this morning is, when will his trial actually start? congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill. they want it pushed to next month now. >> good morning. this request coming from mitch mcconnell asking for the start of that impeachment trial to now be pushed back until mid-february.

this is all about giving former president donald trump more time to prepare to make his case. this morning, as former president donald trump starts to get his defense team in order, republicans are pushing to delay the impeachment trial for at least two weeks, saying trump needs more time to prepare. republican leader mitch mcconnell sending this proposal to democrats insisting the senate cannot short-circuit the due process for trump, but just hours earlier house speaker nancy pelosi signaled she was ready to hand over that article of impeachment to the senate. >> they've now informed us they're ready to receive. the question is, are there questions about how a trial will proceed, but we are ready. >> reporter: with democrats now in control, it will be up to majority leader chuck schumer to lay out the timeline for a trial. trump left washington before biden even took the oath of office, spending his first full day out of the white house on the golf course. he's had a hard time finding a legal team to defend him. but now he's named his first lawyer, south carolina attorney

butch bowers to represent him. and that proposal from mcconnell is now in schumer's hands. his office tells us they're reviewing it. cecilia? >> and rachel, there was another controversy about the national guard there protecting the building since the siege. they were unexpectedly kicked outside. forced out in the cold and didn't go over well with lawmakers. >> reporter: no, it didn't, cecilia, and just take a look at these images. this one obtained by "the washington post." you see our national guardsmen who as you said have been defending the united states capitol forced into these parking lots to rest. you can see them there lying on the concrete floor, lawmakers outraged by this. one even delivering them pizza overnight. did not take long for the situation to be resolved. they are now allowed back on the capitol grounds. cecilia. >> that is a good news. thank you. >> i'm surprised you're not -- we're talking about football. >> you're on my turf here. >> i'm stepping on your toes. we're going to go to the four teams that are hoping to make the leap to the super bowl. tom brady is on the brink of his tenth appearance.

getting ready to face off against aaron rodgers and the packers and will reigning super bowl mvp patrick mahomes be able to take the field against josh allen and the buffalo bills? t.j. holmes is here with that. >> patrick mahomes is the face of the nfl right now. he might not be allowed to play because of rules that are meant to protect players with suspected concussions. we'll have to see. but something we will see this weekend is even something casual football fans can get excited about. brady is going to storied lambeau field with a chance to go to another super bowl. >> brady throws. pass caught. evans, touchdown. >> reporter: so who you got? in the nfl's final four where the starting quarterbacks this sunday include a couple of all-time greats and a couple of young'uns with all-time talent. a trip to the super bowl on the line. in one match-up tom brady, yes, the oldest player in the league/greatest of all time, leads his tampa bay bucs against the presumptive league mvp aaron rodgers and the storied green bay packers.

>> i got a great offense, one of the best in the league, really talented defense, really well coached so it's how it should be. >> reporter: a win and brady would be heading to his tenth -- yes, tenth super bowl. he already has six rings. rodgers has five less than that. but he did win in his only trip to the super bowl back in 2011. >> obviously i put pressure on myself to perform every single week, but i don't feel any extra pressure this week. >> for the touchdown. >> reporter: in the other game this weekend, the defending champs, the kansas city chiefs face the underdog buffalo bills led by their 24-year-old superstar quarterback josh allen but all eyes right now are on the kansas city quarterback, patrick mahomes. >> he's absolutely dizzy. >> reporter: mahomes, the reigning super bowl mvp, was knocked out of last week's game after a scary moment. this tackle left him wobbling as he tried to get to his feet. rules required him to immediately go into the nfl's concussion protocol. the 25-year-old was cleared to practice thursday but has not

yet been cleared by the league to play in sunday's game. >> he's in the protocol so there's only certain things he can do and it's a limited basis. he feels good. >> he's progressing. you know these rules are there to make sure it's not win at all costs but protect the players at all costs. >> for some reason i kind of feel he's going to play. >> we'll see. >> all right. we have a lot more coming up including lori loughlin's husband out of solitary confinement, asking to be released from his five-month sentence early. and the new covid-19 variant runs rampant, what you should do to protect your first. first to rob. hey, cecilia. it's friday, and that means it's time for your weekend forecast sponsored by intuit turbotax.

last year the fashion designer and husband of tv star lori loughlin pleaded guilty for his role in the "varsity blues" college admissions scandal. he's now about halfway through his five-month sentence, but after spending nearly two months in solitary confinement because of covid-19 protocols his attorneys are asking he be released early. in court documents, giannulli's lawyer details how his time in isolation took a toll on his mental, physical and emotional well-being describing how for 56 days, 24 hours a day, he was kept in a small cell with just three 20-minute breaks a week. earlier this month he was finally transferred to a minimum security prison camp. his lawyer now asking that he complete his sentence in home confinement. >> lori, what is your concerns here? >> reporter: prosecutors asking the judge to deny his motion insisting his extended quarantine was necessary due to his contact with other inmates who tested positive for covid-19 and his own complaints of symptoms consistent with the virus adding that while confined

point towards a more contagious version of this virus. this is probably because people who are infected with these particular variants are shedding more virus and so there's more virus coming from one person and able to infect another person. >> reporter: or maybe the virus is more effective at infecting our cells. whatever the reason, behavior matters now more than ever. so masks, should we be wearing different ones? cdc recommended cloth masks still work, the trick, using it consistently. but experts say it never hurts to don a mask with more layers. ♪ at the inauguration we saw people in these, kf-94 masks and also kn-95s. these masks have between three and five layers of filtration and create more breathing space in front of the mouth for

we will have another abc7 news update in about 30 minutes. ♪ ♪ one day ♪ that is one catchy tune. that is nathan evans singing "the wellerman." it's a song sung by sailors dating back to the 19th century which is now making a major splash on tiktok. nathan will join us live. that is coming up. >> we are all very excited about that. we're also excited to bring in our next guest, jason segel and loved him in everything from "the muppets." how are you? >> we're doing well. happy birthday. it was on monday, big happy birthday to you from us. how did you celebrate? >> well, not much really you can

do, is there? i walked around and then i had a fried chicken sandwich then i went to sleep. it was very much like all the other days this year. >> fried chicken sandwich. done, done. >> you just made me hungry listening to that, man. >> yeah. >> one thing you're able to do, got a movie out. our friend in this movie, it's one couple's life changed by a cancer diagnosis. you play the friend who drops everything and you move in to help them out and help them through a tough time. i'm curious, do you have a friend like this? >> yeah, i do, actually my best friend is still the same best friend i had since i was 12 years old, his name is brian. he's actually a doctor on the front covid lines in new haven, connecticut. he would be there in a heartbeat. more the movie, the experience of doing it made me really reckon with -- i picture myself to be a great friend like i would be there in a heartbeat

but then i also really, oh, i don't know my friend's kid's name so that's not the same thing so slowly i've been trying over this year to make those two people one person, become more of the friend that i think i am. >> we all can be a better friend and this movie is based 0en a true story and we're going to take a look at a clip right now. here's "our friend." >> so they know we're here. say something. tell them -- >> i'm going to. i'm thinking of what -- >> say words. there's people here. it don't -- >> there's people here. it doesn't matter what you say. >> hey. >> now i think they are thinking we're weird. >> we were here before you. >> we'll go away soon if you want to wait. >> jason, i cannot wait to see this movie. i was reading a review that said you have given the performance of the year in this movie but this is something of a different kind. >> wow. >> yeah, it's in "the wall street journal" if you haven't seen it. it's great. but this is kind of a different

role for you. what drew you to it? >> well, i thought what was really remarkable as sort of trying for the human spirit kind of thing is that matt teague who wrote the article and the movie and lost his wife to this disease, he went through the hardest thing someone is going to go through in their life and somehow emerged after grieving being able to frame it as a story of friendship and that was really amazing to me because i mean that's what life is all about is trying to make she's things we go through manageable and learn from them and so i think that there's something really special about the movie. it is honest and heartbreaking but it's also uplifting and i thought that that would be a fun thing to help bring to life. >> yeah, there's a good lesson in that for all of us. it is friday so want to flash back a little bit all the way back to the beginning of your career. so i can't believe this is true when i read this. it's been 20 years since "freaks

and geeks" premiered. why do you think people are still completely so obsessed and in love with this movie? >> first of all, that 20 years is making me feel uncomfortable. i've noticed people who i think are my age are calling me mr mr. segel. i hate it. but i do think that "freaks and ge geeks" came -- it was a little before its time. it was really painfully honest about how uncomfortable high school is in a time when tv was more escapist and people would glamorize everything so this show is -- that's what it feels like to be in high school for most of us, i think. you feel awkward and uncomfortable like you were invited by mistake. >> that is the truth and, you know, finally before you go your tv wife alice hannigan will bn n here. what question do you think we should ask her?

>> oh, wow. well, i think that probably like the rest of america, you guys would like to know what her favorite memory of me is. >> my man. >> well played. >> well played. great question. hey, jason, thank you so much for joining us. we always appreciate having you on the show. >> always a pleasure. thanks for bringing joy to the world whether we need it. >> this is "our friend." it is in theaters and on demand today. make sure you check it out, everybody. coming up next we have the story behind those now famous bernie sanders mittens. ♪ suddenly i'm in love with a stra

we all love this story back with the unexpected fashion icon of the inauguration, the one and only bernie sanders, the vermont senator stealing the show and becoming a viral meme, but there is a heartwarming story behind those now famous mittens. t.j. holmes is telling us all about it. welcome back, friend. >> all right, cecilia, lady gaga wore a haute couture avant-garde schiaparelli outfit with a ballroom-like gown that went with it and a navy cashmere bodice on top. bernie sanders -- >> red carpet -- >> bernie sanders, george, wore a pair of mittens made out of an

old sweater. so guess which fashion statement is getting the most attention? it was high fashion at the inauguration of joe biden. j. lo's chanel outfit, gaga's dress, bernie's mittens. yeah, senator bernie sanders and those mittens stole the show and turned a viral meme sensation from the front row of a fashion show to the new york city subway and everywhere in between. the internet just couldn't get enough. even the national bobblehead hall of fame and museum immortalizing him with his own bobblehead. the mittens were hand made with love by vermont second grade teacher jen ellis. >> i take wool sweaters that would otherwise be thrown away. i cut them up and piece them together then i line them with fleece which is also a recyclable material made out of recycled glass tick. >> reporter: the mittens which he first debuted on the campaign trail were a gift to the senator five years ago.

>> something that i made in my craft room with a sewing machine my mom gave to me when i was 12 made it to the national stage and so i was just flattered. >> reporter: jen has received some 12,000 inquiries but, sorry, the mittens are not for sale. but she's honored to represent her home state on inauguration day. >> and then there are my mittens which were a statement too, you know. a little shoutout to vermont, shoutout to ordinary people who get up every day and might have cold hands and put on a pair of mittens, right? that's who we are. >> and, guy, this was the best explanation i got from a viewer of what bernie was doing. he is a prime example of a prepared vermonter. we do not dress for show. we dress for the elms. you never know when you're going to have to shovel, chop wood or for religion for syrup so there you go. >> after the inauguration, yes. >> i saw a meme that said he looks like he's at a kid's

birthday party. >> that's great. we'll head over to rob now. that's what adults look like at a kid's birthday party. a place where no mittens or gloves are required. let's go to florida, deerfield beach, florida, thank you for giving us this sunrise. it's going to be a gorgeous couple of days in the sunshine state after some rains move through the southeast today. dry and warm air. temp, 70s, lower 80s. let's go to new jersey, gloves might not be a bad thing. another shot from surf city, thank you, surline of that time lapse and here comes the coal. not exactly beach weather here. temperatures will people like below zero and next week could good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. grab an umbrella and decrearess warmers, highs only in the 50s. our only dry d

time for our book club and "the push" by ashley audrain is a "new york times" best-seller that looks at a dark side of motherhood and amy interviewed the author. good morning. >> good morning. it's so good and readers of "the push" are saying the last four words of the book, well, it left them speechless. i got to sit down with ashley and chatted more about her provocative psychological thriller. take a look. it's a complex sometimes frightening look at the often unspoken dark side of motherhood. >> a mother's heart breaks a million ways in her lifetime. >> it's ashley audrain's debut best-selling first novel "the push." some calling it gripping until the final line. >> this was such a haunting, amazing read. >> i mean i couldn't put this book down. >> this book is simply put a masterpiece and is easily become one of my most favorite books of all time. >> it's a thriller.

it's uncomfortable. especially if you're a mother, but, wow, is this a roller coaster of air book. i'm curious, what inspired you to write this particular tale? >> for all mothers, we are sort of taught by society, you know, by the people around us that it's going to look a certain way and feel a certain way and so i was really interested in exploring the story of what would happen in one woman's journey if that were not the case. >> reporter: readers are plunged into the world of blithe conner, an exhausted mother who struggles to connect with her baby daughter violet but finds little support from others in her life. >> this is pretty hard some days, isn't it, this whole motherhood thing. >> yeah, but it's the most rewarding thing we'll ever do. then i would stare at violet's phrase in the stroller wondering why she didn't feel like the best thing that had ever happened to me. >> she just wants somebody to say, oh, my god, this is hard and show her that she is not

alone and they don't. >> reporter: soon blithe starts to believe her daughter is deeply troubled and even her husband ignores her cries for help in the midst of an unthinkable tragedy. >> you know, i think one of the main threads of this book that keeps your heart pounding is just this frustration for blithe that she's not believed making her feel like she is the problem when actually she's not. >> i really think that, you know, a lot of times we don't want to hear women's truths because it's not convenient and this is an example of that in the story where everybody in her world around her, it is difficult to hear what she has to say and disrupts what they want to believe so they don't listen to her and we see that the results are very damaging. i hope that helps to remind people just how important it is to listen and to believe and to give weight to women's truths. >> what do you hope readers ultimately will take away from the book? >> you know, if this is fiction, aisle so glad it's a "good morning america" book club pick

for january and i think these are tough times and want readers to have a place to get lost in. the most important thing i hope it is that for every reader to think about, you know, asking the women in your life and asking the mothers in your life, you know, the questions you might otherwise not and really making space and making time for experiences that might fall out of the typical norm. i think we're all really doing the women in our life a service if we do that. >> a dark fiction. a thriller, a page turner at the same time really have a positive impact on people to know that they aren't alone. that's a pretty amazing thing you've been able to do. >> thank you. >> now ashley is a former book publicist inspired by the success of "gone girl" and is seeking skyrocketing success and "the push" headed to the big screen and the team behind it with "once upon a time in hollywood" and "marriage story" bringing it to life so probably going to be a pretty big success. make sure to read along with us at our instagram @gmabookclub.

>> i went straight to the last four words. >> yeah, you did. >> and now you want to read it. >> yes. >> if it's on the table you get to take it home, i heard. >> thank you, amy. coming up, the postman turned tiktok sensation is going to join us live.
