this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and from contributions to your pbs station by viewers like you. thank you. anchor: we have three major stories that lead the newshour tonight. escalating violence in the middle east. the head of the nih on covid vaccines for adolescents. a pipeline restarts after a cyber attack. we begin with a political turning point here in the u.s. it took less than 20 minutes behind closed doors for the republicans in the house of representatives to make their allegianceo former president donald trump clear. wyoming congresswoman liz cheney was ousted as the number three gop leader. even after the vote was taken of us she remains defiant in her the schism -- criticism of

donald trump. >> we must go forward based on truth. we cannot embrace the big lie and the constitution. i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the over office. we have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. we have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the constitution. anchor: hello to both of you. tell us exactly what happened today and how did the republicans explain this decision? >> she spoke to her fellow republican colleagues behind closed door. in the end, she offered a prayer for the country. and then something truly shakespearean happened.

the colleagues about to oust her stood and gave her a rousing ovation. this was the decision of kevin mccarthy. clearly they wanted this to be quick. they wanted to get this behind them. there were a lot of ideas and dynamics in the air. here is one of those. >> her responsibility is to lead our conference in the house. she has a particular responsibility.

she is creating division in our ranks. >> there was a sense that something dangerous was happening here. there is also a group of republicans who did not want to get into the right or wrong of it. but they did say it is an upside down world. they booted one of the most hard-line conservatives. she has a much more moderate record. it comes to tell you that this is not about public philosophy. it is about brand.

>> what is the sense about what this says for the future of liz cheney and house republicans? >> she is not going down fighting. she will keep up this message. she plans to keep pushing for the constitution. the thing we are watching is elise stefanek. some conservative members, including marjorie taylor greene, have asked kevin mccarthy to delay the vote to replace cheney. they believe she is to moderate.

conservatives are hunting for one. it is a long shot. anchor: tell us about the white house reaction to all this. how will this affect relationships? >> in an era of historic and dramatic moments, this one stands out. house leader kevin mccarthy came to the white house. he did not want to own up to the idea that she was being ousted from her leadership position. here is what he said just after minutes meeting with the president standing outside the

oval office. >> i don't think anyone is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election. >> we know that president trump is every single day questioning the legitimacy of president biden. that is why liz cheney was ousted. she would not back what he was doing. they say the president is determined to work with republicans. that said, the elephant in the room is this is a party that is embracing the idea that president biden should not be in

office. white house officials say the president cannot understand what is going on in the gop. anchor: is there a sense coming out of this meeting of how there may be a chance for any bipartisanship? >> this was a big meeting between the president and the big four congressional leaders. i am told the meeting was constructive. there were no contentious moments. here is what senator mitch mcconnell said outside after the meeting. >> we are not interested in reopening the 2017 tax bill. we made that clear to the president. that is our redline. we believe that in february of

2020 we have the best economy we have had in 50 years. that was a major reason for it. >> president biden said he had red lines. this is what he said when he was asked how the meeting went. >> i am encouraged that there is room to have a compromise. a way to pay for it without dropping all of that burden. this has to be a burden shared. >> i am told there is this feeling that a deal can be reached. they want to know how they are going to pay for the big plans.

to present their proposal for how to make an infrastructure deal. judy: reporting on the hill, an important day. thank you. ♪ we turn to a lawmaker now for response to today's house gop vote and the president's infrastucture plan on this day when he met with congressional leaders, republican senator rob portman of ohio. prior to serving in the senate, he was director of the office of management and budget during the bush/cheney administration. portman was also a member of the republican leadership team when he served in the house.

welcome back. very good to have you with us. let me start with the move by house leadership to remove liz cheney as the number three leader. you have said she is a friend of yours. she has done a good job representing the party. was this a mistake? sen. portman: it is up to them. i am on the senate side. i would have voted a different way. they want to change the topic back to policy issues. i noted in your reporting earlier that someone said republicans do not question us legitimacy. i think that is true area i know infrastructure is something you want to talk about today. i don't think that is an issue.

they want to move on and talk about policy issues. i think liz cheney is a valuable member of our team. she will continue to be an able spokesman for these issues. judy: i hear what you are saying and what kevin mccarthy is saying. we know if former president trump does not believe the election was held legitimately. she said that out loud she is being punished for it. is it fealty to president trump rather than issues that are driving the republican party? is that the right message for the future? sen. portman: the right message for the future is to focus on policy issues. this concerns me greatly. when president biden talks about more spending.

that concerns me greatly. we have this huge difference in policy. we should focus on those. this infrastructure package, when you look at it, it is hard to call it infrastructure. even the most generous description of infrastructure. it would only amount to about 20% of what he wants to spend money on. there are other worthy causes like nursing home spending or spending on health care generally. spending for electorate -- electric car companies. this is not infrastructure. if we could focus on the infrastructure part, and then talk about the pay force for this. my hope is that the meetings at the white house will be productive. judy: you are saying some of

what the president is suggesting, you are ready to go along with? sen. portman: i think this is where republicans will end up. that includes all forms of traditional infrastructure. things like broadband. stte -- comparing the number of years and so on. we are far apart. but not so much on what you are reporting. his proposal is $2.3 trillion. most of that is not infrastructure. if we focus on infrastructure, i think we can get it done. there are other ways to pay for infrastructure that make a lot of sense. using things that we currently do use like the ability of the

government to borrow at lower rates. and getting the private sector engaged. or local communities engaged. building roads and bridges is often that kind of funny -- funding. it is a long capital expense. judy: i do want to ask you about how you pay for it. user fees also fall on average income american. it'll income americans. what president biden has proposed is taxing the wealthy. when you look at the history of income tax in this country, today, corporate taxes are only about a fourth as large a share of the gdp as they were back in the 1950's and 19 six. revenues collected from taxes on

the top earners has declined over the last 85 years. in the 1990's, the last time tax breaks were what president biden wants them to be, the economy was booming. my question is, why not take a look at these taxes? sen. portman: we have a more recent example, the 2017 tax cuts. in february of last year, just before covid hit, we had 19 straight months of growth of 3% or more. we had the lowest poverty rate. we also had a situation where the economy was growing overall. it was an inclusive economy. i think that is what everyone wants. the idea going back and raising

taxes that have proved to make us more competitive, 70% of that benefit was going into workers pockets. benefits and salaries and wages for workers is where that benefit was found. that is why you had this wage growth that was so impressive. we had it for a couple decades. we need to be very careful about raising taxes. judy: another thing i want to ask you about, you mentioned items in there that you do not so or area part of what the president is trying to do is provide home health care, child care, and this is when it is a waiting list of thousands of people who are looking for help at home taking care of an elderly family member or a child. what do you do about that and why is now the moment to look at

that issue when so many women had to leave the workforce in this pandemic? sen. portman: we should definitely look at those issues. and we should reopen the schools. more women are not going back to the workforce. that is something that can be solved relatively quickly. i agree in regard to childcare. we have to come up with better ways to reduce the cost. i think there are some opportunities. if you're goingo focus on infrastructure, let's focus on the actual hard assets. ways to pay for those. that is something that has always been done on a bipartisan basis. the user fees include the highway trust fund.

why should electric vehicles not be subject to some kind of charge to use our roads and bridges? i should be charged just as people who have galine engines. there is a way to do this without hurting working families. but also providing funding or long-term infrastructure. that is a good investment or our country. judy: i hope you have a chance to talk about these issues again in the future. ♪ judy: the push to vaccinate adolescents and teens in the u.s. got a big boost today. the centers for disease control and prevention is now recommending pfizer's covid vaccine for those between the ages of 12-15. many parents have been eagerly awaiting this decision, but that view is far from universal.

dr. francis collins is the director of the national institutes of health and he joins me now. thank you so much for joining us. let me start with this news that the cdc has authorized the use of the vaccine for 12-15 -year-olds. how much difference do you think this will make in the fight against this pandemic? dr. collins: i think it can make a huge difference. this is an exciting day. there is an emergency youth authorization on monday. the cdc voted to endorse that same recommendation. time to roll up your sleeves. i think a lot of them will want to do that, including my 14-year-old granddaughter. this is a chance for high schoolers and middle schoolers to get themselves in a place where it is safe to go back to school.

all the things they have been deprived of in the last year. i think this is a very good stat. the data from the trial when it was reviewed today is extremely compelling as far as safety and efficacy for kids this age. judy: how do you overcome hesitancy or outright opposition from parents? there is a new kaiser poll showing something like 40% of parents say they are reluctant or completely opposed to having their child get this vaccine. dr. collins: i always wonder with polls because we have seen over time how opinions have changed. that data is out there now. a lot of parents will come around and teenagers will come around. i want to get out of this

circumstance. they will probably be participants. this is a wonderful opportunity. maybe we don't have to wait anymore. the effectiveness in our country now with cases coming down is hard to argue with. judy: with the administration now pushing hard to get this vaccination out into the community down to the neighborhood level, they say they want to get 70% of americans vaccinated by july 4. , do you think that can be done? dr. collins: i think it can be.

it seems like that is within reach. i think it is reachable. immunizations went back a little but they are holding up pretty well right now. there are a lot of new ways for people to find out about where they can go. if you have not already heard about it, there is an opportunity to text 438829 and punch in your zip code and you will immediately get three places next to you that have been -- vaccines in stock. or you can go to vaccines.gov to find places that have the pfizer vaccine, which is the one adolescents will need to get. judy: you have it memorized. you said 160 million.

that is a number of americans that will give you peace of mind? dr. collins: that would be about 63% of adults. i would like to see that go higher. but if we get above that number those who have at least gotten one dose, the infection rates should really start to go down. it is the idea of it. when more of the population is immune, the virus does not have much to do anymore. judy: there is a growing chorus of skepticism directed and even criticism directed at the cdc. and its guidelines. saying theare too cautious.

an emergency physician here in washington, former baltimore city health commissioner, she commented for us today that the fact the cdc is still recommending masks in certain out door settings. even for vaccinated people. for use to wear masks at setting -- summer camps. if you can listen to a moment of what she has to say. >> public health guidance has to make scientific sense and common sense. right now the guidance from the cdc is neither. look at what the cdc is currently saying about being outdoors. we have overwhelming evidence of the that being outdoors is extremely protective. that is the best place for people to be. i understand they want to wait for perfect information to come

in. but we also need quick decisions. this is what employers and businesses depend on. there is a reaharm. the cdc loses its credibility and revel in -- relevance and people are not going to follow the guidelines when they really matter. judy: how would you respond? dr. collins: i think she is voicing an opinion that people are frustrated about. we are all getting vaccinated. the cdc is in a tough spot here. the director is always trying to balance ese issues we can have other groups come to our house for dinner and take their masks

off. we can have a street party with people who have been immunized. but the cdc goes a little too fast and we end up with a surged, then what? it is always this difficult balance. i think you will see the cdc relaxing a lot of these restrictions in coming weeks. they have nothing to gain by telling people to do things that are not important or necessary. they are on the same side that we are. judy: i know a lot of people have questions. they will continue to watch cdc guidelines. i would ask about what is going on in the rest the world. we have been talking about other parts of the world. not just india and brazil, which we keep hearing about the terrible situations in those countries.

now we are hearing about asia. particularly, southeast asia. are you comfortable with the u.s. decision to hold off sending vaccines overseas? the astrazeneca vaccine when it is available? and particularly the decision to vaccinate younger americans, children, adolescents, who are not as vulnerable as older people elsewhere? dr. collins: we do have a great responsibility to the rest of the world. the united states has always been in that place. we are sending material to india. for them to make their own vaccines. south america also in real trouble. we have doses of astrazeneca that will be shipped there as soon as the fda clears them.

there is a lot of intention here. the u.s. is the largest donor to this effort. we are trying to do what we can. i am deeply troubled when i see what is happening. we should push out all of the stops. now that we are getting to a better place in our country. vaccinating kids, you can say they do not get sick anyway, that is part of it. but some do. some are infected with long covid. we do not understand it. those kids will be sick for a long time. no one should minimize the risk. we know they are often the place where the virus gets started and then spreads to others. if we are going to stop this pandemic, we have to stop that.

judy: it is always good to have thank you very much. dr. collins: great to be with you. ♪ judy: president biden spoke today with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu about the spiraling violence between israelis and palestinians. mr. biden said he hoped this latest conflict would end "sooner than later." but netanyahu said they will continue to strike hamas militants and their military capabilities. thus far, at least 53 palestinians, including 14 children have been killed. seven israelis have died in rocket attacks. even so, as john yang reports, israel stepped up airstrikes in gaza, and hamas contnued rocket fire into israel.

and a nearby synagogue on fire overnight in response to the airstrikes. israelis gathered torah scrolls left in the aftermath. >> we had a nightmare of a night, a real riot by hundreds of arab youths, they came in masses, torched car after car, trash bins, broke windows, and it was really dangerous to leave the house. john: police have since imposed a curfew there. in the northn city of umm al-fahm arab-israeli protesters set off fireworks at israeli police firing stun grenades. but in bat yam, just south of tel aviv, a mob of israelis pulled an arab man from his car and savagely beat him. earlier today, prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressed the unrest. >> we are in a struggle on multiple fronts. we are continuing our efforts to stop the anarchy and restore governance to the cities of israel, with an iron fist if needed, with all forces needed and all authorities required. john: at the state department,

secretary antony blinken renewed american support for israel's defense against hamas, while calling for de-escalation. >> israel has an extra burden in trying to do everything it possibly can to avoid civilian casualties, even as it is rightfully responding in defense of its people. and as i said, palestinian people have the right to safety and security and we have to i think all work in that direction. john: later, netanyahu tweeted that he had spoken with blinken by phone. i thanked him for american support for israel's right to self-defense, a right that the secretary of state repeated in our conversation. at the white house, press secretary jen psaki said president biden was working to fill the vacant post of u.s. ambassador to israel. >> that's in process and when it's ready we'll announce that

but in theeantime we have great confidence in our team on the ground in jerusalem. >> the conflict in the middle east enormously complicates the biden administration's efforts to if not ignore at least disregard the middle east. while the united states may want to leave the middle east alone, the middle east does not want to leave the united states alone. john:mid the conflict -- many muslims on the west bank are preparing for eid al-fitr -- marking the end of the holy month of ramadan. but not all are in the mood to celebrate what is usually a joyous occasion. >> the conditions are a bit tough - not a bit, actually - they are very tough on everyone. this is not the eid atmosphere, look at the market, it is deserted because of wh is happening in gaza, in jerusalem in al-aqsa. john: as the unrelenting vience casts a pall for both sides. for the pbs newshour, i'm john
