and good morning, america. it's great to have you all with us. we are also very excited to have our friends, juju chang, gio benitez, at the desk with us this morning. you survived the early alarm on a saturday. >> absolutely, although it did hurt. >> i got that tea. i'm ready to go. >> ready to roll. step one in the studio. the show is rolling. that's all good. we also have big news regarding our friend eva pilgrim. she's not in the studio and for a very good reason. i want to tell you but i'm told we have to wait just a little bit longer. so stay with us. we'll have more news on that. first, though, we do have a very busy morning here. we begin with that showdown on capitol hill between democrats on two major pieces of legislation, all part of president biden's agenda. >> and it looks like progressive democrats were getting a win delaying the vote on a bipartisan infrastructure bill until the party can agree on a larger spending package involving social policies. >> members of the house returning home overnight after approving just a 30-day

extension of federal highway and transit funding. but lawmakers have been put on notice that they may have to return to vote if a deal is reached on those two major spending bills. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks is on capitol hill with the latest. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gio. yeah, after that hectic week up here, a late night meeting and high-pressured negotiations, president biden and speaker pelosi have officially hit pause. they have delayed any vote on that traditional bipartisan infrastructure package indefinitely until a deal can be reached on their budget bill too. they just did not have the numbers to pass that infrastructure bill alone. overnight speaker pelosi telling her caucus to stand by admitting democrats have not yet reached a budget deal among themselves and need more time. after a week of intense debate and delayed votes, it seemed democrats were bringing in their closer. president biden yesterday with a

fist pump and a wave projecting confidence he could still unite his party, but leaving capitol hill without a deal done. >> it doesn't matter when. it doesn't matter whether it's in six minutes, six days or six weeks. we're going to get it done. >> reporter: some democrats have been anxious for the house to vote on a trillion dollar infrastructure bill now. it already cleared the senate and would revamp the nation's roads, bridges and airports, but progressives have closed ranks and demanded that negotiations around the rest of the president's larger budget and social agenda wrap first. >> are we going to deliver universal pre-k to this country or not? are we going to expand health care to our seniors and include vision and dental or not? >> reporter: without republican support, democrats must stick together. sources telling us president biden bringing that reality check to the meeting reminding house members that a compromise with moderate democratic senate

hold-outs joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will be necessary. the president floating a possible deal around $2 trillion in spending to cover his budget proposals that include free community college, paid medical leave, investments to fight climate change and more. >> the head of the progressive caucus encouraged that the president was willing to wait and push both bills together. >> it was really clear that we need to get both bills done, and that's what we're going to do. we're going to get both bills done. >> reporter: now even if progressive and moderate democrats can agree on the top line number in their budget bill, there are still a lot of details to work out in the big proposals. we know, for example, there is still a lot of disagreement around the climate and renewable energy provisions in that budget bill. whit? maryalice parks, thanks so much. joining us now from her home state of ohio is congresswoman joyce beatty, chair of the congressional black caucus, congresswoman beatty, good morning to you. it's good to have you. so the vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill was supposed to happen this week. that was put on hold as

democrats negotiate their much larger social policy package. are you disappointed in the delay, and when do you think votes could happen on both of these? >> no, i'm not disappointed at all. i think we had a great family meeting. as you know, president biden came in with speaker nancy pelosi and our entire caucus. it was well received and all along, democrats in the house knew that we would pass both bills. we would pass the build back better plan, the 3 trillion plus plan, but it's not about the money. it's about the services, the issues, the things that are in there that speaks to our values and then there is the bipartisan infrastructure bill. all along i was comfortable that we would get there because both of the bills are all a part of president biden's plan. plans that he talked about, campaigned on, and i don't think it matters as he said whether it's six days or whether it's

six weeks. but here's what i do know, we will get there, and we will have the bill that speaks to the needs of our constitues. >>oue exng confidence an youid noteresident on capitol hill in closed door meetings. president biden reportedly threw out a compromise number of around $2 trillion on the social policy measure. is that something you could get behind and support? >> oh, absolutely. i think as long as we take care of all of those things that are in there, we need to make sure that the housing, we need to make sure that pre-k education, we need to make sure that we take care of all of our children. there's so many things in there for children and families that we want the -- the environment. and i think as we look at those things and make sure our priorities are met, we'll get to that dollar range that will be acceptable to everyone. i'm not concerned about that because we're very clear in our message.

no matter where we stood prior to yesterday, every member of the caucus supports an infrastructure bill. every member supports making sure that we complete the build back better plan. >> but how worried are you about some of the infighting between moderate and progressive democrats could derail president biden's agenda? >> i don't look at it as derailing anything. i look at it as our caucus which is very diverse, and we know that diversity is our strength, but unity is our power, and speaker pelosi reminds us of that all the time. the congressional black caucus, which i chair, we've been a big voice in this, and i'm very comfortable as the largest caucus within the congress that we have our fingerprint and our footprint in many of the things that are in the infrastructure budget and in the build back better plan.

so we'll get there and we'll be united as a family, and i'm extremely confident that both ends will come together. >> and so as you mentioned a lot of details to work out. we will stand by. >> a lot of details. >> congresswoman beatty, thank you so much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. juju? we turn to women's marches in support of reproductive rights and their plans today across the country. abc's faith abubey is in washington's freedom plaza with what to expect in the nation's capital. good morning to you, faith. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, juju. march organizers tell me they are witnessing the most dire threat to abortion access in their lifetime and they are mobilizing the masses to fight back. just take a look at the setup they have here. they're expecting up to 10,000 people today, and they're asking these rallygoers to bring three things, their feminist spirit, their defiance to injustice and their demand for abortion justice. 12 speakers are expected to take that stage there, and then

videos of people sharing deeply personal abortion stories will be playing on the screens next to the stage. they also plan to march about 30 to 40 minutes from here to the u.s. supreme court to send a strong message. this, of course, comes just two months before the justices hear arguments in a case some have called the most consequential challenge to roe v. wade, a case from mississippi, and just weeks after the u.s. supreme court declined to block the new texas law that bans abortions around six weeks before some women even know that they're pregnant. lawyers for the state of texas and the justice department squared off yesterday in court. doj lawyers trying to block the law saying it blatantly violates rights guaranteed in the constitution and unlawfully gives private citizens the power to enforce it. but lawyers representing texas deny all of those claims. back here the women's march i'm told the fight is only now just beginning and that, quote, this is not a one-day thing. this is only day one. gio? >> all right. faith abubey in washington, d.c.

for us, thank you, faith. now to the latest on the pandemic now. the nation passing a grim milestone overnight with covid-19 deaths now topping 700,000. this as california becomes the first state in the nation announcing it will mandate vaccines for schoolchildren. abc's zohreen shah is in los angeles now with that story. zohreen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gio. this is a massive announcement that potentially impacts over 6 million kids. we went to one neighborhood just north of los angeles where it was hard to find one parent who was on board with this announcement potentially foreshadowing the school showdown that could happen in this state. this morning, as the country crosses 700,000 deaths from covid, multiple states taking big steps forward to ramp up vaccinations. california becoming the first to announce it will mandate covid-19 vaccines for students and teachers joining a list of other vaccines already required to attend school. >> we want to end this pandemic. we are all exhausted by it.

>> reporter: the new vaccine mandate will be phased in at both public and private schools starting at the first term after a full fda approval is granted for each age group. >> i definitely do not agree with it, and i will for sure pull my kids out of school. >> reporter: just north of los angeles in santa clarita parents with a range of reactions. >> yeah, well, if it's mandatory to get into school then, of course. >> home school. that's it. >> reporter: all of this as the deadline for new york city school employees to get vaccinated hit at 5:00 p.m. friday. all employees who have not received at least one shot facing suspension without pay. >> i am certainly a thousand percent willing to lose my career over this. >> reporter: justice sonia sotomayor overseeing the second circui denying the request from new york city public schoolteachers to block the mandate, the group saying thousands of teachers face termination. >> this is freedom that we as educators teach our children in

school and our own children, but yet now you're taking it away from us. >> reporter: and as schools see more covid-19 outbreaks, some parents eager to vaccinate their kids. according to a new report by the kaiser family foundation, one-third of parents with kids from 5 to 11 years old will get their kids vaccinated right away once eligible. meanwhile, some of those who are eligible wish they hadn't waited to get their shot. >> i was very unsure, so i stood still, and i was wrong. >> reporter: 36-year-old former university of alabama football player justin moon struggling for his life. he's been in a hospital over two months, much of that time on a ventilator. he is now urging others to get vaccinated. >> i actually died for four minutes, and they paddled me and brought me back. >> reporter: exemptions will be made for medical reasons or personal or religious beliefs. it's up to state lawmakers if they want to change that. but, look, this issue is very personal for the governor. he told me just this week how two of his own kids had covid.

a scenario that many parents are either facing or fearing. juju? >> zohreen shah in southern california, thank you so much for that update. and joining us now is legal analyst areva martin. good morning to you, areva. i want to get into some of these conditions that zohreen talked about on the new california school mandate. what does it mean for the parents? do the kids get kicked out of school, and i imagine that lawsuits are being drafted as we speak. >> absolutely, juju. we should expect litigation over this matter. we've seen it happen in other states, and california will be no different. but, yes, it could mean kids will not be allowed to enter school if they cannot show proof of vaccination. as the governor said in announcing the vaccine mandates, school districts throughout california already mandate that children receive certain vaccinations in order to enter school, so from the governor's perspective this is just another vaccine on the list of vaccines that are currently required for students. >> and, areva, we all know that

it's not just schools but employers are also mandating vaccines. what options do workers have? >> not many options, juju. they have the option to seek alternative employment and they may be except if they have a medical condition, a disability or if they can assert a religious exemption but short of that employers do have a legal right to mandate that their employees be vaccinated as a condition of employment to continue working at a particular job site. >> you talked about the potential court challenges. how likely are they to win? >> not very likely, juju. there is well established law that employers and the government can mandate vaccines. this is a public health crisis and in the interest of eliminating the virus and in keeping millions and millions of people safe, courts have already ruled that these mandates are legal. >> and these mandates are stretching well beyond workplaces and schools. how do you see it all panning out? >> i see it being increasingly more difficult for individuals rkt certn , te

school and even participate in certain activities such as bars and restaurants because more and more public places are also requiring vaccines. >> areva martin, thanks, as always. >> thanks, juju. >> all right. let's turn now to the weather. rob marciano is in athens, georgia, for "college gameday" allegedly covering the weather down there, but using football as an excuse. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, we're doing a little bit of juggling here. we are back, the first time at "the gameday" set since the pandemic and what better place to do it than in athens, georgia, the university of georgia taking on undefeated team arkansas. both undefeated teams. going to be on espn, epic game. we'll talk more about that and the whole slate today as we go on through the broadcast here but first let's talk about the weather. should be dry here in athens today but it has been wet across parts of texas and oklahoma. flash flooding in abilene, texas, yesterday. people trying to dig their cars out that have been at least partially submerged there. severe weather across parts of oklahoma, lightning striking in oklahoma city with heavier rain

to the point where a fire was started in somebody's house. fire department trying to put things out. all right. we do expect to see more rain, more thunderstorms, slow-moving front across oklahoma. stillwater, baylor out to see oklahoma state will be an issue as far as weather is concerned. may be some issues at the notre dame game as well. heavy rain though as this thing trudges along, 3 to 4 inches over the next few days but should be dry in athens. david pollack coming up

back now with espn "gameday" analyst david pollack. good to see you in person. >> great to see you and great to see the fa d dod. home gesre the best. >> welcome home. we have a big game in your hometown here, arkansas taking on the bulldogs and you have another case where the student is taking on the teacher. sam pittman the coach for arkansas under kirby smart now going up against each other. what do you expect to see in today's game? >> you just had it with shane beamer versus kirby smart a couple weeks ago but everybody loves sam pittman. sam's turnaround -- it's the story of college football. for the first month of him, he's taking arkansas who nobody thought much of. they lost 19 straight conference games, and now they're off to a top ten start and 4-0 start in college football. so teacher versus apprentice. it'll be a great showdown. >> i don't think arkansas has won a game against a top five team since like 2007

or something like that. and now they're between the hedges here in athens. it's going to be a challenge, isn't it? >> it's a huge challenge and, listen, nobody thinks that the talent level is equal but arkansas has the mojo and things going, a big strong quarterback. k.j. jefferson. he's enormous. by the way, makes me and you look tiny. 6'4", 6'5", 250 pounds. can run. so they're kind of developing but they play hard. they play with a purpose. they play as hard as anybody in the country. they're fun to watch. man, it'll be ray great match-up. >> k.j. certainly the play. he's putting up some numbers. another game on espn, baylor visiting oklahoma state. stillwater. i think there will be some baylor problems. aside from that, what do you expect to see? >> you got the weather handle on the weather? >> that's what i do, bud. >> i have no clue about the weather but baylor is one of the surprise teams being 4-0. remember matt rhule went to the nfl a couple of years ago and they kind of fell off but their offense has been good. they rung the ball well. oklahoma state also undefeated. both those teams off to a good start and we'll find out who is for real in the big-12. >> the other big game, of course, ole miss in tuscaloosa, another student versus teacher.

that's going to be a team. >> except for the teacher always wins. 23-0 i think against his coaches. like that's absolutely insane what nick's been able to do but lane last year embarrassed nick saban. like he scored 40 plus. they did whatever they wanted to do offensively. about that all year long. and he'll be ready to rock 'n' roll. we're ready. these guys are ready to rock 'n' roll. "college gameday" on espn with david and the crew at 9:00 a.m. eastern and the game right after that, don't move the dial. guys, back over to you. >> i thought we were up early. that crowd is ready to roll. hey, rob, keep your eyes open for our friend, t.j. holmes. supposedly he'll be at the game. so if there's trouble in the crowd, you know where to look. >> i'll look for him. >> all right, rob, talk to you soon. >> see you soon. still ahead, flight attendants fed up with unruly passengers share their personal and emotional stories about terrifying confrontations on board. plus, supply chain issues. you may have encountered them. they're now leading to a chemical shortage.
