let's dig into the numbers with white house correspondent kevin corke. good evening, kevin. >> good evening. still no formal press conference by mr. biden now more than 50 days in office. for the record, no planned trip to the border to underscore the urgency there. these are decisions that have left critics wondering whether the situation at the border will be deemed a crisis. >> we recognize it's a big problem, significant problem and significant challenge. it's a big challenge. it certainly is a reflection of using every lover of the federal government to help address at. >> lots of words from the white house to describe what republicans call humanitarian disaster of illegal migration happening along the seven border. just not the obvious word, crisis. >> the last administration left us a dismantled and unworkable system. like any other problem, we are going to do everything we can dissolve it. >> that's just blame shifting say critics especially considering the number of illegal migrants crossing into the u.s. has spiked significantly on the biden adm

kevin cork is doing into the details and senator marsha blackburn is here to weigh live and is cities those on banning gas stations it looks like canceled cultures collided with climate change activism. are you ready for an electric future? we begin with those latebreaking accusations regarding governor cuomo's original scandal, new allegations about manipulating the true number of covid-19 deaths. aishah hasnie is the latest live from new york. >> reporter: this is a big deal because it essentially means governor cuomo's administration had a total picture of nursing home deaths as far back as last summer but chose not to release that information to the public. on top of that the wall street journal reporting that cuomo's top advisers convinced state health officials to change their reporting on nursing home deaths. here is what the journal is reporting tonight. mister paul's aids and other officials made to the nursing home report that haven't been previously disclosed reveal the state possessed a full accounting of nursing home deaths as early as summer of 2020. the health departmen

kevin cork is tracking the latest. good evening. >> reporter: more questions and building anger about what has been happening along the us southern border where thousands of migrants including thousands of unaccompanied children are being subjected to overcrowded, non-covid compliant conditions, still with no apparent plan by the biden administration to figure out someway somehow to stop them from coming. >> holding 4100 subjects in this location alone so you do the math. we are way over capacity, 700% overcapacity. >> 700% overcapacity which is one of many facilities on the us southern border currently holding migrants, a stunning revelation coming on a day that saw the biden administration allowing borders to go inside the border tent with record numbers of migrant teenagers and children crossing into the us without their parents. >> they know that right now there's nothing stopping them, they keep coming. >> reporter: reporters allowed inside, including one detention block with 516 minors, despite the pandemic rated

we begin with kevin corke and the new guidance from the president. good evening, kevin. >> mr. biden making all adults eligible by may 1st. that's the most notable headline from his first prime time address to the nation tonight. he says he returns delma expects life to return close to normal by the fourth of july holiday and he lauded his ministrations effort to combat the pandemic. >> two months ago, this country didn't merely have enough vaccine supplies to vaccinate all of the american public. but soon we will. because now all the work we've done, we have enough vaccine supplier for all adults in america by the end of may. >> biden ordering states to prioritize different groups. this frankly, shannon, underscores the ministrations competence that, yes, there will be enough vaccine for everyone. >> all adult americans will be eligible to get a vaccine no later than may 1. that's much earlier than expected. let me be clear: that doesn't mean everyone will have the shot immediately but it means you may be able to get in line beginning may 1. >> also today mr. biden signed the

kevin corke on all of that. we're now in the enviable position of having far more vaccine available than people that are getting it. so that have a double edge sword for a lot of states that are vastly changing their requirements to get you to get that shot. let's get the late forecast jonathan serrie following that. >> hi, neil, this is a sampling of the changes in policies. new york is lowering the minimum age for receiving vaccinations now to 60. in georgia, they're going to move the age down to people 55 and up starting monday. they also will offer vaccine to everyone 16 and older who have a wide range of risk factors. people with asthma, diabetes and obesity just to name three examples. alaska is the first state to offer shots to everyone 16 and up regardless of health. new york is lowering and i said new york is lowering its minimum age. nearly 33 million americans have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. that's almost 10% of the population and more than 31% of those 65 and older. the age group

kevin corke tonight looking at how the media has been forced to take notice of what's happening at the border and why it is happening under this administration bid good evening, kevin. >> good evening, shannon. once in a name, shakespeare famously quote. alas, it is also true that words matter. and a challenge to some looks awful lot like a crisis to others, especially along the u.s. southern border. >> at this point, is this a crisis at the border? >> we do not need to put new labels on what we've artie conveyed is traveling. >> the white house and biden administration still refuses to call what's happening at the southern border a crisis. that's despite the fact that the number of children detained at the border has tripled in two weeks. the department of homeland security is asking for volunteers to help admit the migrant surge. thousands of children are in holding facilities which "the new york times" says is "akin to jails." despite a rising number of covid positive migrants. many have not been tested and are still being released into the interior of the country. no answer there f

kevin corke reported a bit earlier, talking about that ices going to put tens of millions of dollars to house them in hotels, get them testing, which is good, everyone agrees that should have coven testing in health care if they are in need when they show up but where do we go from here? there seems to be no appetite whether republicans or democrats are in charge of washington for getting this resolved in some more permanent, substantive way. >> one president trump was in office, he had solved this problem. not totally, you're never going to end up with 100% of the border crossing legally, he had made the agreements with the mexican president, they had put troops on the border and kept everyone who was seeking asylum in mexico city could come here orderly when their time was served. since biden came in and i thought obama was bad on the border, biden has made obama look like a piker in terms of his border policy. biden is either being lied to by his cabinet officials, either he knows the truth and is lying to the american public because it is so obvious to see. even people around the

. >> shannon: kevin cork joins us. >> critics say if this was the trump administration and it was blockingess to the press at facilities with migrant children are warehoused there would be outrage. the fact there has been little blow back on the biden administration tells you a lot about where we are in this debate and perhaps a lot about where we are headed. >> for 4 years we heard democrats in the media talking about kids in cages under president trump. joe biden built more cages. the cages are bigger and they are more full. >> a stunning rereality at the border as described by texas senator ted cruz -- a scene he said the biden administration is trying to hide. >> you don't want pictures taken. >> [overlapping talking]. >> show respect. >> is this respect? look at these people. there is a pandemic. >> at the white house a familiar and unfulfilled refrain. >> transparency. >> promises of transparency even as the biden administration continues to refuse to allow reporters access to these packed facilities. if you are a member of congress representing thousands and millions of constituents

kevin cork is digging in tonight. >> it is not $2,000 but it is something if you are looking for a bit of money. that doesn't mean there is not plenty of controversy surrounding the soon to be house vote on covid-19 relief. after weeks of haggling, hours of debate and a word for word reading finally a vote on the $2 trillion bill is in the offing. expected tuesday or wednesday this week. it may be called covid-19 relief and critics argue 90% of it has nothing to do with that. the wall street journal says it creates the covid-19 welfare state. the goal of this democratic program isn't covid-19 relief, the papers is, that is to expand and solidify the role of government as the guarantor of every american income unlinked to any obligation work. critics say the pork is plentiful with billions for blue state government, even those with surpluses and stimulus checks for people in prison. arkansas's tom cotton says they haven't lost a job, they aren't worried about paying rent or buying groceries. another example of the unrelated spending in the democrats partisan slush fund. just as importan

kevin cork tracking the very latest on what the white house is calling the migration challenge at the border. >> challenge for some, crisis for others. the explosive nature of the crisis happening at the border is more than humanitarian disaster for those who came to say nothing of the citizens whose communities have been impacted. this is happening in the midst of a global pandemic and that makes this a massive health crisis as well even as the white house continues to restrict access to the many facilities where thousands are being held. >> we will and we are working with border patrol and dhs to determine how to do that. >> another promise of future transparency from white house but at least so far has been recalcitrant in its reluctance despite cost to give the american people and unvarnished look at conditions along the border for thousands of illegal migrants and asylum-seekers are being warehouse. the government so far only offering glimpses of selected facilities, not scenes of mass humanity that have begun to surface independently. >> i look forward to engaging in the process

kevin cork has more tonight. >> a key biden administration said in spanish by mistake that the border is not closed instead of saying it is. regardless of what may have been lost in translation every day millions of people are coming to our southern border and this administration is unable or unwilling to put a stop to it. >> surges tend to respond to hope. there was a significant hope for a more humane policy after 4 years of the pent-up demand. >> pent-up demand to immigrate to the united states and skip the line ahead of millions who are playing by immigration. rules. rules under the biden administration are evolving. asylum seekers are often released into the interior of the country pending future court dates which could be years down the road. the administration refuses to call what is happening at the border a crisis, the hours spent in detention by migrant minors continues to soar. and biden hasn't applied the pandemic emergency rule to children so the u.s. is still responsible for caring for them until they are placed with a responsor. and a sizable portion of biden administra

kevin cork has the latest comments from donald trump. >> welcome to the show. donald trump was listening to mister biden's remarks including the number of children apprehended at the border this year is on par when it comes to the trump administration. >> nothing has changed. as many people came in my administration, 31% in the last year in 2019 before the pandemic than the trump administration. it happens every single solitary year. >> reporter: that is false. a far bigger surge of unaccompanied minor children than two years ago. as an example january to february of 2019, 31% surge. from january to february of 2021, a 61% surge, numbers that have not escaped the former president. >> we had the border the most secure in 20 years but really i think from the beginning it is never been like this. what you're seeing now is inhumane, these children and people, tremendous number of children living on top of each other in squalor. this is squalor. that is why they won't allow the first to come in. we let the press go in, people couldn't come up. >> couldn't come up du

white house correspondent kevin corke is digging into it. good evening, kevin. >> evening, shannon. still no trip to the border plan for mr. biden who was at least so far content to let others take the lead in responding to the border disaster, a decision that's getting increasingly difficult to defend as the crisis deepens. every day by the hundreds they come, migrant children part of a tsunami of people looking for a better way of life. but the reality on the ground is daunting. customs and border protection sources telling fox news we are taking in more uacs then we can process. i don't see how we can keep this many kids when we can't find sponsors." there is growing concerns that the biden administration may be restricting the information the border patrol agents can share with the public. nbc reports border patrol officials have been told to deny all media requests for ride along with agents, to send all queries, even from local press, to washington for approval. and to not share information about the number of migrants in custody. >> we are not hiding anything. we do want to b

white house correspondent kevin cork is tracking what donald trump and president biden are saying about the border tonight. >> from the sharp rising gas prices to encouraging all-americans to take the covid 19 vaccine if you can, donald trump had plenty to say about the state of the country and most notably about the job joe biden is doing and while he said he wasn't quite sure if or when he might announce another run for perhaps office in the future he certainly didn't have any shyness about talking about the things he is seeing happening on the border with respect to illegal crossings. >> they are coming in from everywhere, they are dropping them off and pouring into our country, it is a disgrace. >> donald from holding nothing back in his assessment of the devastating crisis on the southern border with illegal migration exploding on mister biden's watch and he says because of his lax policies. >> my policies were working better than they have ever seen on the southern border, the wall was almost complete, they should finish it but they are destroying our country. >> the pointed comme
