jen psaki was asked if a decision was made on that. she said it's still under review the last time she talked to their intelligence officials who they are going to leave this recommendation up to, and they have not made a decision as to whether president trump can still get access to those briefings that would keep him abreast of what's going on throughout the world. >> that was interesting, gloria, because jen psaki said she had made this inquiry as well, and she was still awaiting the answer. >> it's clearly a hot topic among national security officials who, if gordon is saying you shouldn't do this, as kaitlan points out, and she was the one dealing with the former president every single day, you can imagine that her words are going to have a lot of weight. >> glorgloria, kaitlan, ryan, t you so much for all of you here after the white house briefing. >>> just in a capitol hill insurrectionist charged with hurting an officer that blacked out and collapsed. >>> plus, some of the people who attacked the capitol to overturn the electio

what's going on right now with jen psaki that you see?nk we've reached a state pretty much all of us agree with us in our discourse where we're -- instead of actually having real conversations about issues in this moment, people are digging up anything they can to cancel somebody. i think it's concerning because this tweet was from years ago. i am not one to -- i stand in solidarity with the lgbt community. what i'm saying we're sitting here pulling up tweets from years ago and making that equal to policies that were coming out of the trump administration when melissa mccarthy was defending and lying on stage about actual policies. this -- >> harris: let me put this in the mix then. we don't have to go back that far. we can go just to this week with the comments about the space force and the very dismissive way that she talked oh, i guess this is just a plane question. remember when the press corps wanted to know how biden would like the colors for inside air force one. that's how she tweeted a question about it. that's not positive. that

and joining us now, white house press secretary jen psaki.ou emma chris, thanks for having me on this morning. >> chris: president biden has taken to asking critics of his covid relief bill what would you cut? the nonpartisan congressional budget office says that more than one-third of the total bill, $700 billion, would not be spent this year, but would be spent between 2022 and 2031. so how does that qualify as covid relief? >> secretary psaki: first, chris, the focus of the package is getting direct checks to the american people, getting vaccines in the arms of americans and ensuring that people who need help at this very difficult time can get it. but people also have to plan. schools have to plan to reopen, they need to do budgetary planning over the course of the years, businesses need to do that as well. so this package is meant to of course provide immediate direct relief, but also provide a bridge to help us all get through this crisis. >> chris: but let's take one specific area that you just mentioned, schools. if the bill would giv

jen psaki referred to lindsey graham as lady g.acting attorney general sally it's testify before the judiciary the graham chaired. jen psaki has not commented on the post, a graham spokesman responding in part, quote, it says more about her than it is about senator graham. >> after coming under fire -- >> space force has support from the president. >> white house press secretary jen psaki walking out comments, has the full support of the biden administration. seemingly not mocking the space force after reporter asked about it. >> wow, space force, the plane of today. >> a tweet inviting members of the team to brief reporters. and and saying the issue, former president trump for splitting the space force in 2018, congress enacted in 2019 is the sixth branch of the military designated the eighteenth branch of the intelligence community. intelligence officials told fox news space has become a national security focus. more than 80 nations operate in space. todd: thank you very much. jillian: a robbery suspect on a wild chase climbing a

press secretary jen psaki holding a briefing right now.r. >> secretary psaki: i just want to call out a couple of economists and economic data that we have seen over the last several days. a new report by the brookings institution with the american rescue plan we can boost gdp by 4% and return the economy to pre-covid levels by the end of 2021. a second analysis moody's said the president's plan would create 7.5 million jobs this year and double our economic growth and turn our economy back to full employment when you're faster. the ims chief economist said the preliminary analysis found that the economic growth 5% over three years. in other updates for you, just today, at the u.s. conference of mayors sent a letter to congressional leadership urging them to take immediate action on the american rescue plan and this was signed by over 400 mayors. and i wanted to highlight it for all of you and the governor jim justice and also republicans did an interview today, and it is critical but the last thing i want to do, i often note that i will c

bernie sanders, even as you were listening to jen psaki, issued a statement saying we're never going to get ten republicans to increase the minimum wage through regular order. the only way to increase the minimum wage to 15 th$15 an hou to pass it with 51 votes through budget reconciliation. they asked jen psaki about that interview, and progressives are not thrilled about the new president. their argument, leave that to us. don't do this too quickly. >> reporter: when the president said he did not think it was going to survive, who had told him it wasn't going to make it through, likely? >> the president was in congress for -- in the senate for 36 years. again, it still has not worked its way through the process and that can take a bit of time, and we certainly defer to the parliamentarian. >> kaitlan collins is outside the briefing. she joins us now from the white house. we defer to the parliamentarian. look, they're 20 days into this. that was the press secretary saying, essentially, my translation, we wish the president had answered that question like a senator. we wish he had le

each day so far, jen psaki taking to the podium to address questions you wants to answer and start thee doesn't. >> nothing on that policy consideration. i'm not going to get that right now. i don't have an update for you. i don't have anything more for you. i don't have anything to review for you. >> reporter: now under fire for white house press reporters themselves, daily beast reports multiple correspondence claim the biden team wanted questions in advance, before that we complain to the white house correspondents association say the biden communications team probing reporters to see what questions they plan on asking jen psaki when called upon. some washington insiders are calling foul. >> i hope jen psaki had known otherwise for a long time, that doesn't strike me -- hope she confronts the head on. >> others say the move is the deal. >> this is the way things work in terms of gaggles before hand with the press secretary. the informal conversation where their head are in terms of topics. shannon: the biden team is pushing back saying our goal is to make the daily briefing useful,

todd: a lot to say on the condescending tone from jen psaki. an actual plan, they have some platitudes but they don't have an actual plan to get those individuals who lost jobs jobs asap? >> absolutely, they took away the jobs and say they will find something else and to someone from south dakota, my entire family lives in south dakota and north dakota it is being felt and hurting those states, they lost their jobs and not only those people, not the thousands of jobs being lost in the fossil fuel industry in the pipeline industry but those communities that rely on them. think about living in a small town in north dakota or south dakota being a business owner you rely on those workers, you rely on those business and that is evidence there are so many suffering and being told by this administration don't worry, we will find you something else to do. it is incredible insulting, all the forgotten americans that were remembered during the trump administration have been forgotten once again. i hope they won't forget come midterms and the next electio

occasion probe reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new white house press secretary jen psaki was not asked about it today and her press briefing but the white house did say earlier it regularly engages with reporters who will be in the briefings so it can provide as much information as possible. we've got a professional, former press secretary on the panel, ms. dana perino. dana, do you think it is jen psaki in the white house press team pursuing a legitimate avenue to say what do you want to know about so we can be prepared? >> dana: i wish she had been asked about it at the briefing because i think she would've answered it very well. i didn't see the communications between the white house press office and the reporters that complained. apparently serious enough concerns that they raised it to the white house communication association. correspondence association. here's what to have your deputies and your assistant press secretary have their ears to the ground to be reading what reporters are interested in so you can make sure you can be informative when you get to the brief

and jen psaki had no defense.ted, yesterday quote, this is not okay, this is not okay no matter the administration or party. so now we've had twice in the past week where jen psaki is asked about involving policy like this, governor cuomo, do you think that cuomo is the gold standard as biden said and he has the nursing home scandal and what we get from jen psaki, basically don't answer basic questions that have obvious questions and good for peter doocy for calling her out on that. ainsley: there's an op-ed section blasting the culture and headline is woke me when it's over. the op-ed behold in the little story dear reader the woke, no transgression on sensitivities is to trivial that it would not involve a more moralizing rebuke from social media at least the critic has the wrong ethnic pedigree. talking about the smallest little thing can get you canceled. what's your reaction? >> i know that was one of your favorite songs growing up the great late george michael. when you can work that in, great for bret steve

legislative agenda stalling out as you see that president biden and the white house press secretary jen psaki are shutting down any questions about impeachment, trying to focus on legislation? >> good morning, good to be on with you. i'm worried about the legislative agenda stalling out what we should focus to see what joe biden has done to create a crisis at the border. they have said we have a surge in migrants at our border. we should be addressing that kind of thing. why the fda is taking three weeks to approve the johnson & johnson vaccine or have a hearing on it. we're focusing yet again on donald trump. the democrats are obsessed with him. to convict and possibly remove from office a man who left office three weeks ago. i don't think many americans

, king salman.en there was an interesting momenta at the white house today where press secretary jen psaki

jen psaki pressed on parents perception. >> why should we be satisfied with that?they shouldn't be. i wouldn't be as a parent and i am a parent. >> jen psaki went on to say that is just the starting point and will not be celebrated when accomplished. as for the actual guidance it is expected to focus on medication through masks and distancing through vaccination for teachers and classifies schools based on transmission rates with red being most severe. jillian: the defense team for donald trump makes the case in the impeachment trial. >> i think if you analyze that speech, under no circumstances could be incitement. it is a powerful speech. >> reporter: robert charles served in the reagan and bush 41 administration that he joins us to break down the arguments and impact of impeachment on the nation next. todd: why can't the giants get players like this? watch this and don't mess with texas mom. one woman's takedown of a suspected peeping tom, the video everyone is talking about including nfl scouts.

this is far from over. >> thank you, marcus. >>> we're joined now by white house press secretary jen psaki, her first sunday show interview since taking office. jen, let's start in texas, when do you expect that we'll see president biden in texas, where will he go? >> well, i traveled with the president to michigan on friday to tour a pfizer plant. i can tell you that he was getting updates from his acting fema administrator, he was closely watching the news, talking to his team, he's he's also very mindful that it's not a light footprint for a president to travel to a disaster area. he doesn't want to take away resources. we'll do that at an appropriate time. >> let me ask you about those 6 million doses that have been delayed because of the weather, do you have any update? what's the plan for getting them out? have you already been able to distribute some of them? >> we have, you know, we knew, we can't control mother nature, no one can, but we can certainly contingency plan, engage and work with the postal service and fedex and others to get those doses out to vaccination centers, to co

jen psaki has not commented on the post which appears to be on her account.am. senator rand paul pressing president biden's pick to lead the board of education asking miguel cardona if he believes transgender athletes should play according to gender identity. president biden has come out in support of it signing an executive order calling for equal transgender participation in school sports. it is an issue that threatens women's sports. >> the top 20% of boys running and track meets, all the controls in the state, completely destroy girls athletics, the girls are being pushed out. >> cardona only said he believes in every student absurd to participate. cardona from connecticut which has been on the forefront of the transgender controversy. todd: a high school track star who lost a spot in the finals to two biological males and an attorney spoke to tucker carlson last night about the frustration and how difficult it is to speak about it. >> there a biological difference between a man and female's body and that is why sports of always been segregated and that i

jen psaki is feeling that heat already. out in front of the cameras, holding press briefings five days a week, which is something reporters very much appreciate. in an exclusive interview, we sat down with her to dig into the biden press shop's ambitions. >> good evening, everyone. >> as a high profile face of the biden administration. >> with that, let's kick us off. >> white house press secretary jen psaki says she's confronting a challenge like no other. >> it requires something different that has been required in the past because of the administration we're following. >> an environment she believes is unique to this specific moment. >> there is an incredible level of distrust in government, in the media, in information. there is a lack of understanding of what's truth and what's not, what's accurate and what's not. so our role is different from what it has been in modern history. >> cnn sat down with jen psaki on her second week on the job with the contrast between president biden's press strategy and the style by presi

jen psaki didn't expect this. john carl of abc asked that question twice.question and then jen psaki, kir kell back psaki -- circle back psaki, could not answer that. even alexandria ocasio-cortez, okay, one of the most liberal congress people in congress, has condemned andrew cuomo, has called for an investigation. obviously, there's an fbi investigation, u.s. attorney investigation, all these horrible things in terms of the way andrew cuomo handled this, putting covid-19 positive patients back into nursing homes and then it appears to be covering up, per his aide and jen psaki can't even say you know what, that was wrong and we disagree with the way the governor handled that. now, couldn't even do that in this situation. todd: unbelievable. >> it's shameful, quite frankly. todd: let's pop up the full screen about dare i say the muppets and one of the key lines from here is they have a harmful impact. if kermit and miss piggy have a harmful impact on you, isn't it time to start re-evaluating your life? >> if beaker -- that's my guy. if beaker has a problem

and this jen psaki.n psaki says strategic patience which is code board for appeasement. judge jeanine: peter navarro, we can always count on you for some good comments. why are the democrats forcing the national guard to stay in d.c. while ignoring the antifa riots? judge jeanine: national guard troops will be staying in d.c. through mid-march instead going to cities that actually need them like portland and seattle. charlie kirk and leo terrell join me now with reaction. leo, i will start with you. you know, we could have national guard there to protect a burning church when donald trump was president. but let's lock down washington with national guard. >> the democrats are antimilitary, anti-police. they defund the military and defund the police. they are using national guard troops in washington, d.c. as a prop. nothing more. where is the credible threat? the credible threat is in portland and seattle. they won't send them there because they are left wing socialist criminals that's the base of the dem

because jen psaki basically goes to every person who is in that room. and then the everyday briefing obviously is something that the white house correspondents association welcomes to be able to ask questions and get them answered. if the topic they are going with actually has an answer that is substantive because they say this is the topic that i care about, it's okay all around. >> sandra: some of the big questions that will be happening in a briefing room will involve covid relief would be struggling americans that so badly need the government to step in here. do you know the senate democrats and republicans are holding a press conference near the top of the next hour, what are you hearing could get done anytime soon? any sort of compromise? can it be reached? >> does not sound like democrats are going down that road. it sounds like they are going down the budget reconciliation road which would be 51 votes. tonight on "special report" we have joe manchin the democrat from west virginia who is very important and that 51 number if he decides to go down

in 2016 jon jen psaki white house communications director questioned the president's legal authority air strikes writing "assad is a brutal dictator but syrian is a sovereign country. does she still believe that today? and senator harris also publicly question the legal rationale now vice president harris. apparently, these are all just hollow, empty, political smears against donald trump. one standard for the democrats, one if you are a republican and according to a new shocking political report vice president harris is quickly being prepped to take the foreign policy reign from the biden administration. by this, now reportedly encouraging vice president to engage directly with warring leaders fear that would be his job. by the way, develop rapport with the u.s. allies. and here is meeting weekly with secretary of state antony blinken. so the question tonight is, why? if joe biden is not up to the task, well, we know he rarely appears in public, and we know he takes very few questions. we know he has not schedule joint session of congress for the state of the union address. this wee

he sent jen psaki out there and they prescreen the questions. biden doesn't take questions or answer questions. then the press secretary doesn't take the questions. donald trump love him or hate him. he would stand outside of a helicopter for 20, 30, 40 minutes and take the tough questions. he spoke to the american people. and what did they do to him for it? they took him off twitter, instagram and facebook. judge jeanine: it's amazing. we know simon and shoeser, they are not going to print the thank youly book. but they are going to print hunter biden's book "beautiful things." he gets rewarded with a book deal. josh hawley exercise his right as a representative from the state of missouri and he gets canceled. to the democrats, cancel me, i don't care. true republican, true trump republicans are not going to be shut up by the left. it's very, very clear. the left wants to dominate the agenda. i'll tell you, cans thing donald trump off social media did not deter 75 million trump supporters. because we are here louder and stronger. judge jeanine:

jen psaki tweeted in 2017 what is the legal authority for strikes? assad is a brutal dictator but syria is a foreign country. president biden getting similar criticism on his criticism from back then. back on the domestic front progressives very upset amid growing cracks in the democratic party. they hope to raise the minimum wage and the legislative filibuster, approve climate change legislation, make washington dc a state among other things but senate parliamentarian ruling does not bode well with those progressive ideas. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell talked about that tonight on special report. >> if you are looking for real civil war look at the democrats in the house, the progressives making it difficult for speaker pelosi to operate given the narrow margin she has in the house. shannon: welcome to fox news at night. to the breaking news around the world and kevin cork, good evening. >> one by one those campaign promises we heard so much about on the campaign trail in 2020 giving way to the harsh reality of washington. first it was $2,0

in 2017, jen psaki, white house medication director, even question the president's legal authority for strikes writing, "assad is a brutal dictator but syria is a sovereign country." that she still believing that today? senator harris public we questioned the legal rationale, now vice president harris. apparently these are all hollow empty political smears against donald trump. one standard for the democrats, one if you are a republican. according to a new shocking political report, vice president harris is quickly being prepped to take the foreign policy rains from the biden administration. biden is not reportedly encouraging his vice president to engage directly with world leaders. that would be his job. by the way, even develop her own rapport with u.s. allies. harris has also been meeting weekly with secretary of state anthony antony blinken. if joe biden is not up to the task, we know he rarely appears in public and we know he takes very few questions. we know he hasn't scheduled a joint session of congress for the state of the union address. this week he struggled mightily to rea

i want to get jen psaki on the economy, listen.udies on this plan including independent analysis from the wall street moody's, jpmorgan entries and the brookings institute and the analysis the economy is near capacity which would be news to millions of americans out of work or facing reduced hours and reduced paychecks. >> sandra: that analysis she was citing is not wrong. we actually do have a robust economy right now. there are some struggling americans that do need help though, sean. >> but it is going great for some and not for others. and jessica and i agree that we want to help people who actually need it. my mom and dad are pretty well off got a stimulus check and rachel got a stimulus check. they don't need it. they weren't impacted from covid. but there are people that have been so let's give a little more money to help them out and not give it to everybody. this is a basic redistribution policy from democrats to a family that makes $100,000 a year. give them all a check, no, let's spend money wisely and carefully and give

press secretary jen psaki noting it's up to states. some states are putting teachers at the front or near the front of the line to get vaccines hopefully to get students back in the classroom. getting vaccinated does not mean schools will be back to full capacity. dan springer reports. >> reporter: these students in oregon are among a select few, just 13% of all k-12 students in the state have been inside classroom since last march. that's expected to change soon as the governor puts teachers at the front of the covid vaccination line. >> for every teacher who's back in the classroom, they help 20, 30, 35 back on track. >> reporter: according to idaho have bumped them all ahead of seniors not living in group sets. 80% of all covid defts over 65, many retirees say holding them back will cost lives. >> seniors have more underlying conditions and are more prone to die. >> reporter: nationally, some 20 million students have done nothing but distance learning the last ten months. studies show they have significant learning loss and suffer a

earlier today white house press secretary jen psaki was asked if the u.s.f course, have a review under way. a domestic violent extremism review that's under way by our national security team to take a look at violence and this type of concerning group activity across the country. i expect we will wait for that review to conclude before we make any determinations. >> stand by for a decision. that designation would have both financial and legal consequences. >>> a prominent lawyer who vehemently pushed voter fraud conspiracy theories is now under investigation for alleged voter fraud, himself. lynn wood falsely claimed georgia's election was stolen and while there was zero evidence of widespread fraud, georgia's secretary of state brad raffensperger is investigating if wood was even eligible, himself, to vote in the state. it all started after wood sent an email to a local reporter claiming he'd been living in south carolina. joining us now, a political reporter for the "atlanta journal and constitution." good to see you again, greg. so what more do we know a

jen psaki has started. but thank you very much for being with us. jen psaki at the white house. >> and we want to continue to make the case to the american people about the urgency of getting this package through the tax line and hundreds of mayors and elected county officials and stakeholders across the political spectrum. here's a quick overview. a number of you asked about this, to the scope of our efforts. over a dozen senior administration officials conducted over 100 national tv and radio podcast interviews to discuss the american rescue plan. we have done over 30 tv local tv interviews in states ranging from nevada to louisiana to pennsylvania. in the last week alone our legislative affairs team had done more than 300 calls with members and staff on the hill, including 40 calls with republicans or bipartisan groups. you can expect that the president will engage throughout the course of this week with a range of stakeholders, including business leaders, mayors and governors and as we discussed before, this message is resonating. poll after pol

i listened to press secretary jen psaki talking about how we've been listened to.tarted laughing. that is such a joke. you can finding one thing where, oh, gosh, we'll get criticized on that so we'll adapt. but the reality is they put forward a package which reflects the interests of the democratic constituencies that elected the president. yes, it has things for broader americans, but much of it is only for those. i can give you examples. $112 million for the san francisco transit system. where did that come from? and so reality is, is that we have something that addresses concerns that republicans and all americans have, but disproportionately benefits those of one party. we started off in it together. it ends up being, yeah, but we're going to take some off the top for our folks. that's not a way to proceed. i'm sorry this is the direction they're going. >> you're saying it's a joke president biden is listening to you, but you were one of ten republican senators who met with president biden in the white house. has the president or anybody in the white house give

. >> the white house press secretary jen psaki finishing a lengthy briefing at the white house. she was taking questions large the on domestic issues, including president biden's covid relief plan, saying the president is adamant that $1400 checks to struggling americans be included in the final package being debated in congress. jake sullivan, the president's national security adviser, took questions before jen psaki came to the podium in the briefing room. that because president biden next hour will deliver a speech at the state department. in that speech, jake sullivan telling us the president will announce the united states will no longer support offensive military operations in yemen. that has been done throughout the trump administration by u.s. weapons being sold to saudi arabia and the united emirates, those weapons used as part of the emirates' bloody civil war. also jake sullivan when it comes to russia, vladimir putin's behavior, whether we're looking back to the interference in the elections or to alexei navalny who was jailed after being poisoned. the president says

it's groundhog day, the longest groundhog day any of us have ever experienced, isn't it, anyway, it jen psakil hold her briefing -- the house impeachment managers have filed their pretrial brief this morning as well. we'll get to both of those in a moment. the daily briefing comes after president biden met with ten of the most moderately minded senate republicans, not necessarily an ideology but perhaps in tone last night at the white house. the that meeting they proposed a covid relief deal that they probably knew biden could not support and biden probably knew they wouldn't be able to stay united on that anyway. case in point, it's not every day you see mitch mcconnell publicly renouncing or praising republican house members of the house of representatives. last night he did both. he called out the beliefs marge retailor green has become the avatar for, denouncing them as loony lies and conspiracy theories. he defended the number three house republican leadership liz cheney who has come under fire from her caucus for voting to impeach donald trump. mcconnell called cheney a leader with conv

todd: the white house's work on space force will continue after jen psaki is criticized for appearingit is the plane of today. an interesting question. i am happy to check with our space was point of contact, find out and see about any update on that. todd: we all have the moment we say something stupid. i have it more than most. jen psaki later tweeted we look forward to continuing work of space force and invite members of the team to visit us in the briefing room anytime to share an update on their important work. jillian: the issue of safely reopening schools is a fierce deck of discussion since the beginning of the covid-19 outbreak. some states argue it is possible while others have tested the door closed for nearly a year. todd: daniel buck is a sixth-grade teacher from wisconsin who says it is time to get his back into the classroom. thanks for being here. the cdc studies, the numbers are fascinating. 191 cases identified in students and staff members, only 7, 3.7% of covid-19 cases, all among students, were linked to in school spread. why are unions so hell-bent on keeping the

white house press secretary jen psaki said in addition to sharing commitment to a range of issues withisis to getting pandemic under control president opposes any effort to recall gavin newsom this is sixth time newsom faced a recall petition but the first one to gain this much traction. trace. trace: a lot of people have already said they plan to run for governor if this thing happens christina coleman live flangs as we told you earlier this hour steve schmitt resigned from board as faces growing krit sip of the management of finances and its handling of sexual misconduct allegations against fellow cofounder john weaver. david spunt live for us in washington with more on this. david. reporter: trace good evening to you. seasoned republican operativen founded ploing project as way to stop donald trump also those politicians who support his agenda. they raised millions of dollars over the past year and a half to make donald trump go away. they succeeded in that. but now after taking many shots at trumple in that supporters, they're enveloped in their own scandal john weaver one of the f

and i want to go now to the white house press secretary, jen psaki. thank you for joining me this morning. >> great to be here. den's sweeg $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package is now in the senate, as you know. a cornerstone of this campaign that he ran, his presidential campaign, was bipartisan cooperation. he called it a mandate from the american people. he got zero republican votes in the house. it looks like he may get zero in the senate. can you point to one concession that president biden is making to this package to try to win republican support? >> well, first i can say, dana, i think there have been more republicans in the house and senate sitting in the oval office over the last month having a discussion, having a debate at times with the president about what they want to see in this package, what we can work together on, than perhaps over the last four years. the president has been open to hearing good ideas. hearing good ideas from republicans and democrats on how to make it better. at this point in time, though, what this proposal is

here's jen psaki. >> i have not reviewed it. i'm learning it as we talk here. again, the cdc guidelines are the guide through which we work with our policy teams led by the department of case and our health expects to reopen schools. that's what we've long said and we trust the science and the guidelines. >> there is jen psaki saying the white house is going to do what president biden said to do. follow the science, trust the guidance from the cdc. but martha, it's very notable like you said that the white house decided to hold the press briefing before the cdc guidance came out and that they decided to do this on a friday in the middle of an impeachment trial and a few days before valentine's day as you can see from the big hearts here. >> martha: the first lady's hearts behind you. kristin, it's worth emphasizing here that when the cdc director walensky said what she said, that she thought teachers could go back without vaccinations with cdc logos all around her, the white house put distance between themselves and her. so there's -- i'd imagine there was pres

that is when the white house press secretary jen psaki will be holding the daily briefing.n it starts we will take you there. first, let's go to our reporters on the ground, carole lee at her post there at the white house, ali vitali made her way to capitol hill and pete williams is with us as well. carole, we'll start with you. president biden pitching a $2 trillion plan directly to the people in milwaukee today, at the same time you have a bipartisan group of governors that sent a letter as we understand it to the white house with specifics requests for vaccine rollouts. take us through what the white house is juggling right now, if you can, carroll. >> sure. they're juggling a number of dynamics. start with this trip to wisconsin, the president's first official travel outside of washington since taking office and he will pitch his coronavirus relief plan and trying to keep some democrats all together because he can't afford to lose any of them particularly in the senate, and while also maintaining or trying to win over some republican support for his plan. a little bit o

if that's too much ask sleepy joe's prom began last week when his press secretary jen psaki said this his goal that he set is to have the majority of schools, so more than 50%, open by day 100. of his presidency. so at least once a week hopefully it's more. >> high less like the president tried to clean things up in through psaki right out of the campaign bus, watch this. >> your administration set a goal to open the majority of schools in your first 100 days. you are now saying that means those schools may only be open for at least one day a week. >> that is not true that's what were supportive but that's not true and it was a mistake in the communication. >> it was a mistake in the communication. it's a communication breakdown for it i feel so much better now. honestly the only good thing to come out of this whole mess, the republican party's realizing parents are furious throughout the school issue. and they have begun using the broken promises and reopening delays to raise funds and helping win back seats in the 2020 midterms. i don't care about your seat, when our kids going back

but the white house even said it today press secretary jen psaki said that when you look at america in general democrats and republicans in polling really do widely favor this plan moving forward and so i think that's going to the main thing that he focuses on his he fields questions from both democrats and republicans. >>and just see if it becomes necessary how can democrats pass a president biden's bill without republicans. democrats are really looking at this procedure all. >>that's called budget reconciliation then it's essentially just a simple majority vote and so the threshold for democrats is easier in the house this will really come into play in the senate where there is that 5050 split and then vice president kamala harris serves as the tie breaker for democrats and so senator bernie sanders, he you just heard from that's what he's really looking at as the chairman of the budget committee and it's still though getting a lot of criticism from republicans saying you know what's this point of preaching unity and bipartisanship when we're essentially being sidelined in this proce

kevin goes here's my jen psaki impression.aving american lives from covid-19? yeah, i will have to circle pack on that but in the meantime did, you know we have a pan sexual accountant? that's the greatest tweet of the alleged biden era and kevin sorbo came up with that. from the fun stuff to the joyless super bowl, what do you make of all these regulations? >> it's all craziness. been doing it for a year now. i remember when fauci came out in march you don't have to wear a mask you are fine. i know behind closed doors dude, don't tell them that. tell them they have to wear a mask. as we know they are using fear as a weapon and all about controlling our lives and look what it's doing. i look at sporting events because i love sports and degree up playing sport. i am watching football and basketball. i miss college basketball that's about it. i'm watching golf today and watch players walk around they don't have masks on and caddies don't have masks on. one cameraman 50 yards away by himself wearing his mask. we can walk into res

jen psaki did something smart, hey, the program is great. said what we would do which is completely confusing and then working with pharmacies, fema, rather than argue against the obvious. >> john: just to put a button on what sandra was talking about, when the director of the center of disease control in an official briefing says something, even though the cdc may not have officially released a guidance package, it does seem to me as though that qualifies as policy. >> i would agree with you, john. it seems to me also that jen psaki is the deputy president. the administration with remarks coming less than an hour of president biden gave a speech on economy come again not taking questions from reporters as he does not most days. when also asked about lack of bipartisanship with the covid relief and early morning vote in the senate, she said, well the vast majority of american people support it, and the polls showing a lot of support for this massive package. and then reporter said, what does bog down mean? referring to the covid bill. and sh

we are moments away from jen psaki's daily briefing as the president prepares to take his first trip since the inaugural to push his top priority, the covid relief package. joining me, chief white house correspondent and "weekend today" co-host peter alexander in the briefing room and "new york times" chief white house correspondent peter baker. the priorities now as we understand that despite the congressional recess, that package is moving through committees. what is the president now thinking he can get that perhaps he wasn't so sure of before? >> reporter: exactly right. in some ways, this is the sort of post-impeachment retrial on covid relief for joe biden make his first domestic trip to head to wisconsin and milwaukee today where he'll make the case why those in washington need to support this bill. right now it's clear they should have enough democrats to follow through give or take joe manchin, some moderates as it relates to issues like $15 on minimum wage. the president would like to pressure republicans to get on board as well. that's why he's headed to wisconsin for a to

. >> to jen psaki's comment it is about priorities, no, no, no, they're funneling down the number of deportations dramatically by these limitations. they are trying to say if you didn't proveably murder or rape somebody you don't get deported. >> president biden remember campaigned on reforming ice but not abolishing it. but one sheriff down in texas is now accusing the biden administration of, quote, defunding ice by memo. so guys, a lot of criticism from folks at the border as we wait for this official guidance from dhs to come down. >> bill: thank you, nice to see you from the north lawn. >> dana: also at the white house press secretary jen psaki getting into it with peter doocy over the loss of the keystone pipeline jobs. doocy pressing her on when those out of work americans can expect to get their green new jobs. >> when and it and where it is they can go for their green jobs and thation something the administration has promised. there is now a gap. i'm curious when that happens. when those people can count on that. >> i certainly welcome you to present your data of all the tho

white house press secretary jen psaki has been sparring with fox news peter doocy after he pressed her on thousands of expected job losses from president biden's cancellation of the keystone pipeline. let's watch together. >> certainly welcome you to present your data of all the thousands and thousands of people who won't be getting a green job. maybe next time you're here you can present that. >> you said they would be getting green jobs. i'm asking when that happens. >> he will share details of his plan in the weeks ahead. >> harris: senator kennedy, your thoughts. >> well, for a well-paid elite to tell the thousands and thousands of displaced workers across america who are being displaced by the biden administration that they ought to suck it up and just learn how to code or build solar panels is why people think washington, d.c. is not working. and i think it's a very -- i really regret, maybe even resent, her callous attitude, particularly in light of the fact that this displacement of american workers is intentional. >> harris: you think it is. >> i'm sorry? >> harris: you think

jen psaki yesterday at the white house suggested that we read the fine print.one of us had remembered the president saying when he was running oh, what i mean is one day a week in person. how is that a game change or is it? >> harris, i can tell you i have been growing increasingly frustrated over the last week by paying attention to what has been coming out of the white house and the administration. we're saying we're waiting for the reopening tactics on how to safely reopen schools that are supposed to come out tomorrow. guess what, harris, the cdc put those out last summer. the american academy of pediatrics put forth recommendations last summer and still 2/3 of children across our country started the fall semester in distance remote learning. that number increased to 37% having at least some hybrid in-person exposure. but harris, you are a mother and know that one day a week being in person, that's not enough. so if that's what they're reaching for saying we'll make sure that over 50% of schools are open at least one day a week? we are well past that, harri

white house press secretary jen psaki is taking some heat for mocking the newest branch of the u.s.y and she is not apologizing for it. power panel comes back just ahead. and the campaign to recall california governor gavin newsom is picking up steam. challengers are now emerging to take on the embattled governor if he is still there to run. so is newsom's job in jeopardy? >> governor newsom has botched the basic during the crisis. his continuous failures are an immediate hazard to the state of california. he must be replaced. lowest in history, mortgar it's time to refi. but if you're a veteran homeowner and need cash, here's big news. introducing refiplus from newday usa. it lets you refi at all-time low rates plus you could take out $50,000 or more. money for security today, money for retirement tomorrow. refiplus. it's only for veterans and it's only from newday usa. want to make a name for yourself in gaming? then make a name for yourself. even if your office, and bank balance are... far from glamorous. that means expensing nothing but pizza. your expenses look good, and your b
