phil murphy, thanks for being with us this evening. >> bless you. thank you, reverend sharpton. >> coming up, i have a personal letter for the postmaster general, because louis dejoy has failed to deliver on more than one occasion. >>> but first, my colleague richard lui with today's other top news stories. richard. >> rev, a very good sunday to you. some stories that we're watching this hour. the fda authorized a single-shot johnson & johnson vaccine this weekend. it's the third vaccine approved for use in the u.s. 100 million shots are expected to be delivered by the end of june. >> today, myanmar saw its deadliest day of protests in this month's military coup. approximately 18 people were killed, 30 people injured during peaceful demonstrations. military and police shot protesters who object to the military's removal of the democratic elected leader from power. >> and a successful space walk outside the international space station. the two nasa astronauts, victor glover jr. and kate rubins, began their journey just past 6:00 a.m. east coast time.

. >>> and joining us to discuss, the democratic governor phil murphy. so about 5% of the state's population is fully vaccinated. that is also the national average right now. experts say that we need that number to be 70% to 85% of the population in order for there to be herd immunity achieved. what is responsible for the rollout being slower than desired so far and how do you plan to step up the vaccination rates particularly with this weather challenge? >> yeah, the weather is certainly the here and now reason why it is in a straight line but i'm confident it sounds like your reporting is as well, that this will straighten itself out in a matter of days. the biggest reason is the lack of supply. we're now up to 85% of every shot that we've gotten has been already administered. it is 70% in the federal program for long-term care, it is 88% in the piece of the big part of this that we control. i think we've overbuilt our distribution capability, jake, knowing that we didn't have the supply that we wanted or expected at the beginning. but as that supply i

it was a mistake he made that other governors made, phil murphy in your home state of new jersey didt didn't make as much of a scene about it i would say. losing someone in your family, someone close to you is not something that hey, i'm sorry is going to fix it but it will go a long way to restoring his reputation and frankly a lot of people both political parties made big mistakes in the handling of covid-19 from governor cuomo to the president of the united states of america and i think oats time -- it's time for everyone to have their apology moment. >> harris: phil murphy in new jersey made the same decision. you said cuomo is getting hit because he made such a big scene. he is getting hit because he is being accused of a cover-up. >> and he took months when the science said you shouldn't put people back in nursing homes and he still put them back. apologies go a long way. if you apologize for bad policy you get forgiven. chris cuomo had andrew on his show and let andrew talk about what and why it happened and he won't get a better, softer interview than his own brother on cnn.

he goes after phil murphy and california governor gavin newsom and whitmer, shen she wanted the justice department to do an investigation on us and froze. we're in a position where we weren't sure if what we were going to give to the department of justice or what we gave to you guys, what we started to say was going to be used against us. that played a very large role in this. in other words, we lied because we didn't want to get caught. the most basic explanation of all. we didn't want to help our political enemies and concede to how many people we killed. there are now 15,000 confirmed and presumed nursing home deaths in the state of new york. that's up from 12,700 as recently as late january. we don't have those figures because the cuomo administration gave them to us. we have them because a few reporters, reporters like the daily caller noted that new york's deaths did not count nursing homes. we know it because places like the empire center obtained a court order facing cuomo to release the data to the public which owns it. he owns nothing. he's a public servant. if we listen to th

we've been monitoring new jersey governor phil murphy. store for the garden state amid covid-19. now, that might be a bit of a misnomer because while presenting his $44.8 billion budget in a virtual address, he did stipulate that taxes did go up for the upper, upper income in the garden state last year. actually, they were retroactive, beginning of last year. so don't tell them taxes aren't going up. but that he's been able to do this without a core responding hike in -- corresponding hike in taxes this year and that he will fully fund at least payments due the state pension funds, that, you know, insure that will provide retirement income for teachers, firefighters, police, all of that at their full level this year which i think is close to $6 billion. i want to check that if i'm right, but it would be the first time a governor, republican or democrat, agreed to fully fund or at least make a one-year commitment to fully fund those pension funds. those were huge obligations in states like new jersey. but, again, new jersey just the latest

governor phil murphy says 3900 pieces of snow removal equipment is at the ready he's pleading with residents to give crews the room to clear the roads let me be as forceful on that point. >>if you don't need to be out. go back to your house the deadly if you're in your house don't leave your house. >>you're jeopardizing either one or or both of the following yourself or secondly, the crews. >>now shirley chan reporting for more on that system we want to check in with chief meteorologist lawrence karnow does not look very fun out there. lawrence know boyle rough night there tonight. they've got a whole lot of snow already on the ground a lot more to come maybe the biggest storm there since the 1860's as nor'easter really rolls on shore you can see all that wrap around moisture begin work its way along the coastline. and they'll see more of into early tomorrow morning and then it looks like things will begin to slow down, but you get the idea why they call the nor'easter because those winds the northeast all of a sudden they wrap back in all that moisture right off the ocean and so's moisture-

>> rick, two weeks ago, the governor of new jersey, phil murphy, was on this newscast and blamed pharmacies for the slow rollout numbers in his state here, listen to this. >> the big reason is the federal program with cvs and walgreens, they basically amass these doses, they schedule visits to long-term care, nursing homes, extended living and they're slower they're punching under their weight, particularly walgreens that's where most of the yet-to-be-used doses are. >> is he right or what do you have to say about that >> the entire program when it started, the government asked if we could lean forward and help certainly we said we would we knew it wasn't going to be perfectly smooth from the beginning. early on, there was hesitation from long-term care facilities and staff. we had some challenges with some states choosing moderna versus pfizer as well as how we want to prioritize the different groups. hesitancy and scheduling as well what we saw was a ramp-up of that has continued pretty religiously since that point we vaccinated a million long-term care residents in the first month and a

this would be an ideal opportunity to have a surtax on your richest residents, much as phil murphy inersey had. but he implemented that last year. no more tax increases this year, but he did do that last year. you opted not to. why? >> a couple of reasons. one, we don't need to do it. i'm providing hundreds of millions of extra money going to our schools. i appreciate it is coming from joe biden not from the taxpayers particular of connecticut but we're making a big difference right now to get those kids back flat game, get our schools open five days a week. we're not shortchanging not-for-profits. we're doing what we can to make a difference right now but with federal funding in our rainy day fund i don't have to raise taxes. that is the first time in a while you had a governor say that. neil: you know, mitt romney had commented on this $1.9 trillion stimulus plan. i don't know whether he was referring to your state in particular, governor, because you opted not to do that, revenues are looking good. a lot has to do with how you've been running the state. but the fact of the matter h

it all i think there will be a lot of conversations about governor cuomo, donald trump, governor phil murphy what they did well and what they did poorly to help us in the future but for all the republicans criticizing governor cuomo and not criticizing the president or any of these republicans on the job, they are the ones playing politics. >> sandra: he did not offer one. >> i said he should apologize, i said that. >> but he spent a lot of time has passed and he emerged from that briefing and did not offer one. i will finish with you, who only have a few seconds left but you go through that montage of celebrities. i wonder if they'll say anything now? >> let's see if they have the political guts to stand up to the governor and say you weren't giving us the truth, you should be held accountable, the attorney general and the department of justice should be looking at this because not only that they deceive the authorities, they deceive the people of new york and didn't give the proper data to the cdc and others could make proper decisions. it is far bigger than just new york. >> sandra: not j
