muriel bowser didn't explain how getting a vaccine would make d.c.ent saver or prevent them from getting covid, because muriel bowser like her fellow democrats, doesn't have to explain. they still think it is march 2020. they still think the vaccines prevent transmission. and they can believe those things because they make the rules, you obey them. it also doesn't matter that washington, d.c., is a city that is nearly 70% fully vaccinated or that city officials have acknowledged hospitals and outs are not increasing with new cases. t d.c. residents will not have to be vaccinated if they want to live normally and participate in society. but the shot isn't enough, they will have toto wear masks, too. >> we will be dialing up our mask guidance from the mask advisory that has been in place to the mask mandated beginning tomorrow at 6:00 a.m., and i will issue a mayors order that leaves the mask mandate in place through the month of january. >> jesse: meanwhile chicago mayor lori lightfoot clarified how democrats really feel about the unvaccinated coming

we'll talk to mayor muriel bowser about thahat, next.nson is the world's largest healthcare company. building a future where cancers can be cured. strokes can be reversed. joints can be 3-d printed. and there isn't one definition of what well feels like. there are millions. we're using our world to make your world a world of well. >>> there's more pandemic news. starting next week, washington, d.c. public schools will require a negative covid test, as the city sees a dramatic surge in cases. mayor bowser, thank you for joining us. what exactly are you requiring? how did you come about making this decision? , well, we know our parents, like us in d.c. government, value bringing our kids back to school in person, in a safer way to do so that, given the wind surge that we are experiencing, is to make sure that every student entering or building has had a antigen rapid test or pcr test, and can upload that result to us within 24 hours of coming back to school on the 5th. we made is the decision to delay by two days the return to school, so t

what's your perspective on what the city has done and the approach from mayor bowser?has done that and they have the -- basically the most progressive vaccine mandate in the entire country where children who are attending any of the schools, public or private or parochial now have to get vaccinated if they are 5 years or older despite zero science backing that zero restrictions on businesses vaccine mandates. they don't make any sense. it makes you wonder if you live in chicago or new york or boston or washington, d.c., why would you report that you even have covid? why would you tell the state? they are not going to do anything to help you. they are going to could things to hurt you. beginning of january the d.c. public schools have already closed for two days for quote instructions on how to handle covid as if we haven't had two years of this. since the first week of covid you could see the police officers working the firemen working and bartenders working and trash men working the only people who didn't want to work are the teachers. none seems to be helping the stu

mayor, mayor bowser. thank you for joining us this morning. of course, d.c., i live here, you live here, this is a big epicenter now of the omicron cases in the united states. and you announced yesterday that all public schools and staff will need to provide proof of a negative test to get back to school next week. i'm curious, what drove this new policy, besides the obvious with the case count. >> well, we want to make sure that our commitment to having in person learning is honored with our families and we want to put ourselves in the best position to keep our -- to reopen our schools from winter and keep them open. and the way to do that is to ensure that every child and every adult that enters the building next week can produce a negative covid test within 24 hours. and we will continue to be vigilant and conduct our surveillance testing throughout the school year. >> mayor, look, i commend your commitment to in person learning and the plan sounds good. the problem, of course, is going to be in the follow through. it is tough to imagine th

mayor bowser, thank you very much. >>> joining me next, dr. roy, thank you very much for coming to "the reidout." the president is going to speak to the american people about covid. what do you want to hear from him? >> good to be with you, jonathan. this is what i want to hear all of my fellow health care workers especially front line health care worker want to hear. we want to wear about the need for vaccinations and particularly boosters among all people, those that are eligible and medically cleared to get it, which is the majority of people. we need wide spread testing and still accessible testing, not only a testing facility but also at home testing. we also need mask mandates to come back. i'm telling everyone to wear these again. especially when you're indoors in public spaces. this is what we need. again, the vaccines need to happen locally and globally. and i got to tell you, jonathan, there is a strain on people like me front line health care workers, my fellow physicians as well as nurses, respiratory therapists, cafeteria workers,

>> that was the narrative, the media, working for democrat mayor muriel bowser you would see it every to fight against that and push crt and it is not who i am and i don't think the country is racist. i came from the dominican republic and went to anchorage, alaska, spoke very little english, attended the university and never experienced anything i would consider racist and honestly all the white people i have encountered have bent over backwards to give me opportunities to succeed. i feel like i am the american dream and in anchorage, eating oatmeal and water for days. >> you have so much political experience and a new republican, we are running out of time but what is your advice for republicans running particularly in inner cities and trying to gain votes from people who may not traditionally vote for them? >> my advice would be to build racial coalition like we saw with gwen youngerken who reached out to everybody, things that mattered to the community, like crt in virginia. when it comes to race, we need to talk about it, teach the good and the bad but making 17-year-olds feel ba

joining me is the mayor of washington, d.c., muriel bowser.morning. >> my pleasure. >> we see the difference measures prompting action. you just brought back the indoor mask mandate. now the vaccines. they don't start until january 15th. are you concerned about what will happen in the next couple of weeks? >> we're very focused with all of our residents on getting tested, vaccinated and boosted and also limiting their activities and being careful about the level of exposure that they have, especially if they have vulnerable family members. our vaccine mandates will apply to high gathering places, where we know transmission of the virus was already high risk. and with omicron it is certainly high risk. it will affect largely residents in our community who are getting omicron, who are 24 to 35 years old. we want businesses to ramp up and comply and people to get their first shot, second shot or get fully boosted. >> so that is why you are giving a two-week window. it is my understanding some colleagues in washington, d.c., there is frustration w

mayor bowser. here's what she had to is a i. >> we want to make sure that our commitment to having in-person learning is honored with our families, and we want to put our families in the best position to reopen our school for winter and keep them open. >> mayor bowser says put the schools in the best position they are distributing that and we'll have them look at the study districts and we'll look at schools where they tried testing and they say that it really does work to keep down covid spikes, but it's not perfect. it needs to be paired with masking and social distancing and even then we will still see covid cases in schools. phil? >> there's never been a spike like this before as your great reporting shows. elizabeth cohen, thanks so much. >> i want to bring in dr. jonathan ryaner to share his expertise, professor of medicine and surgery at george washington university. doctor i kind of want to start there with kids, particularly younger children. the president of the american academy of pediat

doctor, bowser is making moves here. wants every kid returning to school to have a negative test. sounds reasonable, as long as they can get their hands on one. what do you think? >> i think it's a problem. there's a lot of problems. first, there's already a mandate in d.c. from the city council that everybody has to be vaccinated, all the kids. among the black community, it's only about 40%. that is going to keep minority children out of school. i'm bothered by that, especially at a time when, despite all the vaccination efforts -- and i'm an enormous proponent of this vaccine -- you just heard from steve harrigan that everybody going to the hospital, practically, is unvaccinated or unboosted. we want to get people vaccinated, but i also don't want schools to close under any circumstances. you know why, gillian? when schools closed, kids spread covid at home and that's been shown throughout the pandemic. to your point and question about testing, first of all, we have a scarcity of these tests she's talking about. i don'

to have that negative test for teachers and students, especially as you saw that clip with mayor bowser's obviously going to be critical. you have those 500 million tests that are being produced right now that will be available to americans to request through the mail. that will help also to identify where those hot spots are so that the federal government can respond accordingly and to move resources to where we see these kind of surges with omicron, certainly. >> bret: mollie, meantime there is back and forth about kids getting boosters between fauci and the world health organization is quite something. take a listen to this. >> younger individuals have a much more robust immune response than adults, particularly among elderly. this is something that we will continue to examine as to the possibility of or a necessity of providing boost for that cohort of young people. >> the fda is currently looking at the issue of booster shots for those 12 to 15 and i know that the companies and manufacturers are working towards data for children under 5. >> there is no evidence to support boosters

thinking people who got you to do this today for us, i want to ask you, right here in washington, mayor bowser had initially lifted the indoor mandate, now she ahead -- now she has restored it. do you think in places like d.c. , larger cities like chicago, that it would be prudent for them to institute like, the things they do in new york and los angeles where you have to show your vaccination card to get into places? dr. fauci: that is an individual choice. that is one of the things about our country, it is local. new york made a choice. i think it was a prudent choice, making sure that people are vaccinated before they go in. i think that is a good idea, but it is going to be left up to local jurisdictions to make that decision. >> before i ask the final question, i would like to thank the organizers of today's event. headliners, co-team leaders, donna and lori. today's headliner event coordinator, bill pierce. i like to call him the sound she whisper because we can only get dr. fauci when bill is involved. the -- i would also like to shout out the fantastic team behind me in our broadcast o

for her part, mayor maria bowser said she ordered 1 million rapid tests, but they won't be here until january. >> dr. torres, let's talk about this new guideline from the cdc, recommending people who test positive isolate for five days. if they're asymptomatic during that time, they can stop isolating but continue to mask for five days. what's the science behind this, and will it hopefully keep disasters from happening, like what gary is talking about not only in terms of the health care system but the economy coming to a screeching halt? >> lindsey, that's what dr. fauci was talking about earlier on the sound clip when he said, essentially, they want to make sure businesses stay up and running and at the same time protecting american health. knowing at five days and even seven days, the risk is going to go up, even incrementally, at spreading it to others. at the same time it's not that much of a risk and wearing a mask can mitigate that getting people back into the force. vaccinated or not, you can test positive for covid, five days at home. if you have no symptoms at that point, yo

s mayor muriel bowser scoffed at reports people were fed up and moving out. >> people are not leavings still one of the hottest places to live in america. >> d.c.'s deputy mayor says the city will carefully review and validate the census data and he argues d.c.'s come back will be, quote: robust. it's not just d.c. seeing declines. the government says trailing d.c. percentage wise americans also left new york, illinois, hawaii, and california. the biggest population gains by percentage were in western states with idaho, utah, montana and arizona all seeing their populations grow within the last year. >> the government also reports the u.s. population overall is still growing but at the slowest rate of growth ever recorded in american history. census officials say the pandemic is partially to blame. bret? >> bret: mark, thank you. football fans are mourning the loss of one of the nfl's most iconic figures, hall of fame coach john madden. the league says he passed away tuesday at the age of 85. cause of death was not given. madden first gained fame as a head coach of the oakland raiders

the mayor muriel bowser say attend a movie theater or to go into a restaurant or a bar other a nightclubaccination card. i think for a lot of people pro-vaccine but anti-the mandate, it seems like huge amount of government yorch teach show your vaccination card to get a hamburger. when does it stop, right? is it with the next booster or what if we have some other disease and pandemic or something else that's inflicting the country, how much of your personal information of your personal medical information are you going to have to show if you want to grab a beer with friends? and so i am delighted that the supreme court is hearing this. because while i think vaccines are crucial the mandates are going to remain political sticking point in this country. >> bret: all right, meantime, the supply chain crisis today in washington, you would not have known that it was maybe a big issue or that it still is an issue in some parts of the country. a lot of parts. take a listen. >> the recent rise in covid-19 cases and the emergence of the omicron variant pose downside risk to the employment and eco

. >> in washington, mayor bowser told us yesterday on "new day" that really there is a significant increase among 25 to 34-year-olds, that age group in washington, d.c. vaccine mandates for indoor gatherings, bars, restaurants, have been announced. those will go into effect in two weeks. how much of a difference do you think the measures will make? >> remains to be seen. i don't blame the current surge that we see in washington, d.c. on the temporary relief of the mask mandate we had recently. i think that it is a perfect storm where that happened to occur during a time where a new variant has emerged and as people are gathering. i think that it is absolutely right anecdotally in my last few shifts in the emergency department, the overwhelming majority of patients are young. here in washington, d.c., we have done a great job of vaccinating. 86% of our people over the age of 65 are vaccinated. almost 70% of our total population is vaccinated. it is those who are having breakthrough cases and those who chose not to get vaccinated or were unable that we're really worried about and most of thos

along interview with ambassador richard bowser, the state department top policymaker for south asia phe's in charge of policy for afghanistan and the state department's chief spokesman for a while under president bush. this is how his interview starts off. general observations. let me approach this from two directions. the first question, did we know what we were doing? the second, what was wrong with how we did it. the first question did we know what we were doing, i think the answer is no. first we went in to get al-qaeda and to get al-qaeda out of afghanistan and without killing bin laden we did that. then the taliban was shooting back at us so we started shooting at them. they became the enemy. ultimately we kept expanding the mission. if there was ever a motion it is afghanistan. we went from saying we will get rid of al-qaeda so they can't threaten us anymore to saying we will in the taliban. then we said we will get all of the groups the taliban works with. then further to having an exit strategy, we needed a stable government and afghanistan. once you start saying that and you

mayor muriel bowser instituting what she called the single largest data collection effort that d.c. has done since the pandemic began. next week 90,000 d.c. public school students will have to pick up rapid tests on monday or tuesday from their school, take that test on tuesday, report that test to a portal on tuesday before they can even walk in the school building on wednesday. this is 90,000 students, staff as well will have to do this. folks i talked to out here, whether or not they have kids, they're frustrated about this testing system. here is what they had to say. >> like everyone else, get a negative covid test. i want to get it before the new year's eve to have a good time with my family and friends since we can't go out and about. hopefully it will be a negative result. >> quite confusing. the opening hours are not clear. i came here yesterday and it was already closed so it's kind of -- should be more public or better announced i would say. >> reporter: now, when it comes to d.c. rapid tests, the city is actually handing out rapid tests to people across the city, 108,000

maintains restrictions in the capital while the liberal mayor bowser lifted mask restrictions.have to wear masks except when we walk into the capitol building which is crazy. i wouldn't put anything past them, if this is severe democrats will use it to push further tram plink of our constitution. charles: even strawn much advocates, americans reject any idea of another lockdown. congressman, good work. good watching you. bring in deneen borelli. jay powell admitted the fed misjudged inflation big time. unlike the biden administration. they never admit anything. they want to pour more money into the economy. that is sparking inflationary crisis crushing people. your thoughts on that? >> well look, powell violated the fundamental principles of economics and the role of the fed which is to control inflation. and look, charles, americans aren't stupid. the less supplies that are out there the more expensive things are going to be. powell's comments are inexcusable. wait, president biden tapped powell for a second term as fed chair. so in my opinion powell is only thinking of himsel

right here in the nation's cap capital, the mayor, muriel bowser, announced the reinstatement of an indoor mask mandate, that starts today. in new york, which has seen a threefold increase in covid infections in the past week, new york city mayor bill de blasio says the city is testing more people than ever. and that contributes to some degree to the number of new infections we're seeing. officials say omicron is increasing the demand for testing. the supply chain can't yet keep up. hours from now, president biden will address the nation on the issue. he is expected to announce the purchase by the government of half a billion at home rapid tests, which will be sent, for free, to anyone who requests one. let's begin at the white house, jeremy diamond is on the north lawn. jeremy, notably this, president is not going to come out today and say we're going to shut down the country or parts of the country again today. he's talking about targeted steps here, testing, what else do we expect? >> reporter: that's right, jim. it is going to be a very different message from the one you might have exp

testimony gathered by the select committee, in the weeks leading up to the january attacks jeffrey bowser participated in efforts to delegitimized the results of the 2020 presidential election and delay or interrupt the peaceful transfer of power. after numerous court throughout the united states had resoundingly rejected alleged voter fraud challenges to the election results by the trump campaign and after all states certified in the election results, mr. clark propose that the department of justice sent a letter to officials to the state of georgia and other states suggesting that they call a special legislature sessions to investigate allegations of voter fraud and consider pointing new slate of electors. mister clerk also met with white house officials, including then president trump, to discuss efforts to the legitimize, disruptor overturn election results. the select committee believe that mr. clark had conversations with others in the federal government, including members of congress, regarding efforts to delegitimized disrupt overturn the election results in the weeks leading at t

but mayor bowser says that she's ordered a million rapid tests but they won't be here until january at the earliest. >> so mike, let's talk about that. any update on when in january those free at-home tests will be available? is the administration giving anymore details about how we'll roll them out, what the time line looks like? >> reporter: yeah, the short answer is no. we had that announcement from the president last week. eye-popping number, half a billion tests to be made available to americans through a website. that website still doesn't exist. we still don't have answers to sort of basic questions of how many tests per household can you request, how are they going to decide if there is more demand than supply, who gets those tests. and you also heard something interesting though in that interview with dr. fauci from kristen welker, dr. fauci saying that this 500 million is just the beginning, that they have made some arrangements with manufacturers to have additional supplies of 200 million to 500 million tests per month after january. so they do expect that supply. but there

so it means, you know, shout out to mayor bowser who recently allocated $8.8 million in the budge to increase mental health services in school. so it's about getting before the legislative body, participating in that budget allocation process and insisting upon what we know to be evidence-based practices, right? that school safety comes with smaller class sizes, right? which means more teachers. it comes with greater access to mental health care, you know, behavior intervention specialists, restorative justice, positive behavior intervention. all of that takes money and legitimate, sincere commitment at the grass-tops level, right? and so i think teachers and staff folks who are in direct contact with young people have got to go in partnership with the young people about what they want. so that's the macro level. and i think on that day-to-day the levels the resisting that urge to call the school resource officer, to -- i know that's so easy to say because people say, of course, you're not a teacher. i know that the, right? and i feel your pain having worked with young people for wel
