white house correspondent jacqui heinrich starts us off live from the north lawn. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening to you, bret. after public pushback the cdc now says people should use a rapid test after a positive covid case after five days of isolation if you can get one and if you want to. and if you test positive, you should keep isolating until day 10. it is another shift in policy after setting a new single day record for covid infections here in the u.s. 1 million new infections yesterday. today president biden focused much of his messaging on one group. >> there is no excuse, no excuse for anyone being unvaccinated. this continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated. so we got make more progress. >> with the omicron variant evading vaccine protection more than any strain before. there is a new white house emphasis on therapeutics. the administration doubling order for pfizer antiviral pills with 4 million covid treatments expected to be on hand by the end of the month. >> we may need even more. that's the estimate we need right now. >> but challenges

jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich, good to be with you griff. justice sotomayor has been slammed for her comments on child covid hospitalizations yesterday. alex huff with that story. >> hi, jacqui and griff. the fact that they were included in the arguments without correction disturbed a lot of people. at one point said that the omicron variant is just as deadly as the delta was, which has not been proven to be the case. she added this. we've had 100,000 children, which we've never had before in serious condition and many on ventilators. >> second part definitely not true there and the number is actually just over 3,000 kids hospitalized, but the c.d.c. said that of those cases, it's unclear how many children were in the hospital for other reasons who simply tested positive for covid-19 upon arrival. regardless, justice sotomayor along with breyer and kagan with vaccines at larger private companies. and skeptical of the power of the branch siding with the biden requirement. and this is something that the federal government has never done before.

jacqui heinrich from theorth lawn. how is the white house taking all this, what is the mood around there? >> i would say it's a little edgey around here, this week has not gone the right way for the white house. late last night chuck schumer canceled plans for the senate to take up action on the filibuster and voting rights over the weekend and on monday he blamed covid and a winter storm coming in but really nobody is buying that after the president hosted manchin and sinema here at the white house for a last ditch effort for an agreement on the voting rights and the filibuster and evidently went nowhere. senator sinema took wind out of the sails saying she was not going to budge on the filibuster and the president left the meeting defeated, admitting the path forward was hazy. he did promise to keep trying. and the supreme court, saying while covid spreads in the workplace, also at home and schools and basically where people gather and the rift is beyond osha's power to address. the white house is pushing back whethe

jacqui heinrich is live on the north lawn for us. jacqui, the president spoke on this earlier. did he acknowledge this major miss? >> short answer sandra is no. the president was quick to point out the highlights in the jobs report, pointing out that the unemployment rate fell faster than expected, and he also pointed out 6.4 million new jobs were added since january of last year. but he glossed over that disappointing jobs number. he also sort of segued into the fact that his policies, he says, are contributing to the economic recovery, not noting that this jobs report, by the way, came before the omicron surge and could show up to be even worse in the next one, and he tried to blunt republican criticism. listen. >> i hear republicans say today that my talking about this strong record shows that i don't understand, i don't understand. a lot of people are still suffering, they say. well, they are. or that i'm not focussed on inflation, malarky. they want to talk down the recovery because they voted against the legislation that made it happen. >> tough week for the administratio

mark, we'll get to him in a moment but begin with jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn for us, things are about to get going, jacqui. so, have we heard anything about what we can expect to hear from the president this afternoon? >> hey, sandra. yes, no real answers on how many questions the president is going to take or who he is going to call on, but plenty of anticipation here at the white house. the president is going to take questions amid deepening democrat angst over his inability to deliver on some key promises with some democrats even calling for a re-set ahead of the midterms. there is talk among moderates about breaking up build back better to get some things passed, modest election laws could be the only game in town when it comes to the broader hopes on voting rights, to the dismay of progressives and nuke the filibuster, and log some kind of movement on police reform which died in congress months ago. but according to the white house, the biggest pit fall has been on messaging, and effectively selling what this president has accomplished. >> i would say, you'll probably h

but just last week the president said that jacqui heinrich's question about the ukraine and why not takingwas a stupid question. so obviously having more media action isn't necessarily good but you get a look at what he's really thinking when he's on hot mike. >> greg: you know i like these moments, i find them miserable because i have been guilty of many hot mics. i had to pay the tuition somehow. but you know, it's like biden is in trouble and is numbers are falling faster than toobin's pants out of porn convention. >> jeanine: both those questions were to peter doocy a box and then you have cnn pack trashing fox. on one hand you could say when you are at the top of the mountain, everybody wants to bring it down at the other hand and he would say, you're the stupid ones. st letter oopid. >> jesse: they are going to fact-check that. >> jeanine: it that's what they keep him under wraps. because he can't control his anger. remember on the campaign and, he said hey buddy, want to do push-ups? and other things, he's an angry guy. >> jeanine: have you been called by the white house and asked t

first, white house correspondent jacqui heinrich live on the north line. jacqui? >> hey, harris. fauci floating the possibility of that policy change. top public health officials. dr. rochelle walensky last week defended not testing after an isolation period, saying that pcr tests can show up positive for up to 12 weeks after an infection and that you might not be transmissible at that time. she also said rapid tests don't accurately say whether a person is transmissible since the fda has not authorized them for that use, and the negative test could produce a false sense of security. in the aftermath of all this blowback over the cdc shortening the isolation period, dr. fatty said the cdc will be determining whether to test after isolation. >> rapid antigen tests have never been as sensitive as the pcr test. they are very good when they are given sequentially. if you do them maybe two or three times over a few-day period, at the end of the day they are as good as the pcr. as a single test, they are not a sensitive. >> meantime, there is a renewed focus on hospitalization rates as

let's go to jacqui heinrich right now how the white house is addressing this day. jacqui. reporter: neil, this was as forceful a speech as we've heard from president biden since taking office. at the outset, he framed january 6th as a day that must be commemorated to insure history doesn't repeat itself. >> first time in our history a president had not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the capitol. but they failed. they failed. and on this day of remembrance we must make sure such an attack never, never happens again. reporter: but then the speech took more after turn towards the political. while biden did not ever call out former president trump by name, he certainly called out his role in the insurrection. he got personal. he used terms that trump hates the most like failed and defeated and depicted the former president as a continuing threat to democracy and the rule of law. >> bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. he can't accept he lost, even though that what 93 united

this is just the last week, what a stupid son of a -- he said it yesterday, he talked about jacqui heinrichgman, if you don't understand that, you are in the wrong business. he is upset. s about build back better bill, social spending is dead in current form. inflation at 40-year high, crime is spiralling out of control, russia is thumbing its nose at you while threatening to invade ukraine. this is nbc news poll, 5% of adults say mr. biden performed better than expected as president, that is one of the lowest we've seen. he is not seen as likeable, he was 53% as far as likeability and now 38%. kudos to peter doocy for laughing it off, he told sean hannity there are bigger thing, he didn't make himself the story. peter doocy handled that perfectly, i saw steven miller on twitter put it best, jim acosta would need a neck brace if he was addressed in this fashion. >> carley: when the president entered office, it was about cries cream flavor or what he would do better than former president trump, the media turned on him in recent weeks. take a listen to this. >> joe: okay. >> who feels like we

jacqui heinrich is live from the white house with the latest own that. dust-up with the president last week. reporter: yeah, i sure did. seems like we've heard this all before. the president said he didn't want to take any questions on ukraine, so our colleague here at white house, peter doocy tried to ask a on topic question about inflation but the president did not take kindly to that either. reporter: you think inflation is political liability ahead of the midterms. >> great asset. more inflation. what a stupid son of a [bleep] reporter: the second time in as many weeks the president shared his apparent real thoughts on a hot mic. last week he didn't seem to like my question about taking some proactive measures to deter russia from invading ukraine. reporter: why are you waiting on putin to make the first move, sir? >> [inaudible]. jackie: reporter: the president has been increasing briskly with reporters after rocky first year. suggest the phil wegmann from "realclearpolitics" didn't know how to read after he asked biden about the controversial voting

i want to bring in jacqui heinrich who is at the white house to talk about this and the action at today's, i tried that beta tested website as jonathan mentioned. covidtest.gov. it went live today. the white house saying it will go fully live tomorrow directing people to use it tomorrow, which is the expected launch date where you can get four tests per household. there is one drawback to this. i tested it out, put in my order and you get this message that says the first orders will go out in late january. then you have the long shipping timeline, expected to take between seven to 12 days. critics are saying yes, it's a great effort. but this effort might come, you know, after the peak of omicron and have sort of a blunted effect. we also are hearing more about the white house plan to make masks available, n-95 masks available. we're awaiting an announcement on that. we're three years in and the president has talked about the need to expand access for testing, the need to have people masking up for his entire administration. so these efforts to critics are coming too little too late. >> c

. >> jesse: jacqui heinrich.d out jackie was accused of asking a quote stupid question it was excellent and timely question about sanctions against russia and there president biden called her question stupid. here he called the actual reporter stupid. but this is a guy who that same nbc news poll, jesse, is seen as no longer easy going and likeable. so his personal attributes have cratered along with job approval of these major issues. and this is a guy, remember he said he would like to take donald trump out behind the high school gymnasium and punch him in the nose? this is a guy with a terrible temper. not taking happy pills on the weekend in wilmington, clearly. on the serious point on the crime thing quickly george gascon in l.a. larry krasner in philadelphia, alvin bragg here in manhattan, these are guys, they are forcing our law enforcement to retire early, to resign. they are not arresting. they are doing no cash bail. they enhanced sentencings are happening in l.a. the train people, united pacific asked

first, let's go to the white house, correspondent jacqui heinrich live from the north lawn. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening to you, bret. just days after arguing that testing after five days of isolation isn't necessary because the tests don't accurately measure whether a person is contagious, the cdc revised its policy. >> the white house defending the cdc amid criticism its new post infection testing guidelines are confusing. >> he has confidence in the scientific expertise, the medical expertise of the team at the cdc. >> the revised isolation guidelines don't require a test to return to five days after a covid positive case. they tell people if you have access to a test and want a test, go ahead and do it. if you are positive, stay away from others until day ten. the cdc denying a nationwide shortage of test influenced its initial guidance. later changed in response to public backlash. >> this has nothing to do with the shortage of available tests because you can see in our quarantine guidance that we actually do recommend a test for people to emerge from quarantine

first, jacqui heinrich who is live. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, martha. this administration is just haunted by losses over legislation, supreme court battles. you have inflation, high crime, supply chain issues, foreign policy challenges and covid has given this president and his crick tims a lot of fodder to work with. according to the white house, the biggest white house is on messaging and ineffectively selling the wins that they have accomplished. they sent a reminder list highlights what they called record firsts in jobs, unemployment rates, expanded access to healthcare, infrastructure investments and more. this is something that the president plans to highlight today and also over the course of the next year in a victory tour of sorts. >> he intends to take his care to the american people over the course of the year. he will be out in the country talking about how the things he proposed will make a difference in their lives and people will hear from him directly across 2022. >> in a separate list that we just got dubbed results for working families

he sort of took that swipe at fox news's jacqui heinrich, what we saw with peter.eter he did the right thing. he moved on. one thing is being overlooked here, you have mentioned it several times, the third rail of politics, despite the president's sarcasm peter did get a response from the president which he realizes that inflation going into these midterm elections is going to cabinet negative. elizabeth: yeah. peter doocy, he is a smart guy. what he was doing to try to get the president on the record with that question. by the way peter doocy takes no offense. he said the president called him to say it was nothing personal. and i did, to phil wegmann's point it is about policies. let's watch the president attack peter doocy, attack phil wegmann, and other reporters around remember voters on the campaign trail? the president is hit with more than bad polls, harvard "harris poll." his rating fell to 39%. watch this. >> president biden: i'm not joking when i say this, if you ever working with me and i hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to som

now to jacqui heinrich at the white house with the latest. >> the announcement from the white house that they're doubling their order of the pfizer anti-viral pill is welcome news to a lot of folks that are criticizing the white house for letting therapeutics fall by the wayside for this near exclusive focus on vaccinations that we've seen. they've also accelerated the timeline when they'll be delivered from september to june. we were looking at an order of ten million initially. the white house announced that they will get the full ten million by june. by the end of january, they'll have four million covid treatments on hand. a lot of the same sort of vibe that we got from the president when he gave his remarks today ahead of the briefing warning folks that are unvaccinated that they're at risk with this highly transmissable omicron variant telling people that are vaccinated to get boosted. also speaking about the numbers as we've seen this really record-breaking number today, one million cases in the u.s. here's what the president said earlier. >> if you're vaccinated and boosted, you

fox news jacqui heinrich asked jen psaki about her comments.he is pushing back saying the white house is tough on crime and the president is against defunding the police. when you heard that sound, what did you hear, what was your reaction? >> my reaction simply this, comedy. i was appalled. she is dismissive. she is smug. you know having served, over four decades in law enforcement as a public servant, it is disrespect. what do you say to the wife of the slain police officer? what do you say to the victims, mostly people of color in vulnerable communities? she dismisses it. it is shameful and i got to tell you, they want to throw money at it, talk about police reform, social services. no. this is not about that. it is about policies, failed policies. they want to understand and try to figure out how to reduce crime? they don't care. their agenda is truly they don't really care. let me say this, time for voters to step up and vote for folks like me in michigan, who is running for positive, for governor, who will be strong on crime. this must st
