psaki: thank you. i think there is no question the impact on seniors in facilities especially early days of the pandemic we there were not the preparations in place and not systems in place, when loved ones couldn't even engage with or reach their members who were in facilities. it exposed what a problem we've. as you noted there is legislation that is in congress and certainly we will look forward to looking at that more closely. i expect as we're getting it the state where the pandemic is hopefully under control that is the objective we'll all look and reflect on what changes should be made for the future to be better prepared to take better care of seniors. in terms of regulatory action i'm not in a position to get ahead of that. i'm happy to see if dollars teug week expect it but i think you have identified a challenging issue that is not only a problem in pittsburgh and with respect pennsylvania and parts of pennsylvania but we are seeing in states across the country. reporter: there's a lot of bl

psaki: no, it is not. i can get you a more official statement from our team that is overseeing the updates and the maintenance. >> three questions on gun violence. this president biden have a deadline for congress to act and if they don't meet that deadline, is he prepared for more executive action? ms. psaki: the president is not going to wait for congress to act to take -- additional exec of action. this is the beginning and he will continue to have his team review from a policy and legal standpoint. expect additional actions to take. he led the effort to emplace two dozen executive actions under the obama biden administration and he recognizes the only way to put in place permanent long-term measures to keep our children, communities, and families safe is by passing legislation. he is also committed to that. he is not going to wait. he can move on both levers at the same time. >> how soon does the president hope to see change due to the executive action today? ms. psaki: change in what way? >> some of h

psaki: what would iran want? >> sanctions under the trump administration -- they have increased activity. sec. psaki: if you go back historically a few years before the trump administration to the obama biden administration, sanctions were put in place which incentivize getting them to the table to have a discussion about the joint plan of action. i would say at this point, today the first day of discussion. these discussions are happening in geneva. they are happening through our european counterparts and partners. we expect them to have difficult portions. we expect it to be a long process. we continue to believe that a diplomatic path is the right path forward and there are benefits to all sides. when the trump administration pulled out of the joint plan of action, what they left us with this a far decreased -- us with is a far decreased capability of inspections at their sites. that is not in anyone's interest, certainly not the american people. >> the senate parliamentarian ruled in favor of additional recon

psaki: it is an example. as i noticed there were 91 companies who did not pay any corporate taxes in 2017. >> about the baltimore plan. when did this happen and went to the administration find out? sec. psaki: the issue was identified as part of rigorous quality control system checks and hhs made us aware late last week. >> we understand the supply is headed to europe and not for the united states, but how does that change the supply plan and weren't they planning to use this point to deliver the 24 million doses to deliver by the end of april to the united states? sec. psaki: the issue does not impact one. any of the j&j doses already on the market. johnson & johnson has made clear they expect to deliver 24 million doses in april and they expect to meet their commitments of 100 million doses by the end of may. we are looking forward to that. obviously these are doses the u.s. government as purchase but we also have plenty of doses from pfizer and moderna regardless. >> [indiscernible] supply disruption cause

psaki: oh uh oh. mute button? >> can you hear me now? ms. psaki: we apologize for that. we're the first part of your question but you may have to repeat it. >> ok, republicans and democrats here have requested a temporary waiver of the rule that blocks cruise from coming to alaska without the canadian stop. i was curious what the administration thinks of those requests and whether action is possible before the end of the tourist season. ms. psaki: we heard that from some of your colleagues here but the cruise industry in general. it's an industry we want to drive and we want to ensure we are reopening capacity in a safe manner and doing that as quickly as we can. we have been working with senator murkowski and alaska officials on engaging canada and finding ways to assist the cruise ships. that process is ongoing but importantly i don't have more details but is something we are aware of and working with your senators on to help address and we certainly recognize the importance of the cruise ship industry to the alaska economy. thank you so much for joining us from alaska

psaki: to the news? >> to that we are not getting 15 million doses right now that could have been made for american people. press sec. psaki: that is not exactly what happened. we're still on track to have the number of doses we need to vaccinate all of -- all adults by the end of may. this was on a facility approved by the fda. we were not betting on these doses. we were betting on doses coming from moderna, pfizer, and also johnson & johnson has assured us we will get the 24 million doses they are promised in april. at the same time, there is a process led by hhs put in place to take steps over the weekend to ensure johnson & johnson is the only drug being produced at the site, given that the issue was about the cross-contamination of astrazeneca and johnson & johnson. there were still steps taken to address newly, but we were not betting -- on these two vaccines for the american public. we've assured people we how -- we will have enough doses by the end of may. >> is he worried something like this hap

psaki: -- ms. psaki: we are only on the first day so i will give the team on the ground an opportunity to comment on that. reporter: -- the european direction and the chinese and iran, so why do you have a high-ranking u.s. official in vienna? ms. psaki: i think it is important to convey to our partners that we believe diplomacy is the best out forward, the most appropriate step forward, and rob malley has been a part of negotiations in the past and is appropriate to be there. reporter: it is the white house's position now no lifting of sanctions until they comply? ms. psaki: we expect a big part of the conversation will be how iran can come back to compliance and what would be required of the united states, but we have been clear that we are not taking or anticipating any steps at this moment and we will allow the negotiations to continue. reporter: tomorrow, you are going to hold that dialogue with the u.s. and iraq, the president has talked about removing troops from all over the world, so is th

psaki: correct. reporter: we have tensions with russia over ukraine and crime area -- and crimea [indiscernible] is the president confident the u.s. military posture is correct and prepared to deal with multiple crises occurring almost simultaneously at a time you are withdrawing troops about denniston? -- troops from afghanistan? ms. psaki: absolutely. the president has utmost confidence in secretary austin and his leadership and he believes we have the best military men and women serving in the world. he has absolute confidence. he believes we should lead with lummis he and his leadership and approach air that out. reporter: on china with the climate summit coming up, do you see opportunities to rebuild the relationship and address the tensions in the relationship with china? this ep that as an opportunity to move forward? ms. psaki: we have not made a determination about bilateral meetings that would take place as part of the summit. we invited over 40 leaders. we are engaged at a range of levels.

jen psaki took light the question from peter ducey will have a different reaction if

ainsley: so, jen psaki talked with your son, peter doocy. he is now back from his mini honeymoon. steve: um-huh. ainsley: he was asking her about the kids that these children are receiving down there on the border. steve: the welcome to america bag. ainsley: there were rumors that maybe her children's book super heroes was a part of these kits? steve: indeed, the kids arriving at the facility in long beach, california and there you can see one of the images right there. what's interesting is, you know, you come to the country and that's what you get? you wind up are some hygiene things and some clothes and that book. peter asked her about that yesterday. jen psaki, i don't think she knew about it. >> about those facilities there was a report in the last couple days in the "new york post" that every migrant child being brought to a shelter is being given a copy of her children's book super heros are everywhere. do you know why that is and if she is making any money off of that? >> the president of -- the vice president. >> vice president's book, yeah. >> i would have to check with

blinken, sullivan, and psaki will lead the charge for biden in the world.bout america's place in the world, and the rebuild which now has to be undertaken. can biden�*s new foreign policy team bring american power, prestige and alliances back? and what would that look like? well, in these fractured times, it depends on who you ask. donald trump's secretary of state, mike pompeo, is worried. ah, i fear that when he says "america is back", he means back to the eight failed years of president obama's foreign policy — whether that was the ridiculous iran nuclear deal, or the paris climate accords, or the complete appeasement of the chinese communist party, those — those aren't places that we want to go back to. they're places that the american people demanded that president trump and our administration take us away from. and i hope that when president biden talks about going back, that's not what he's thinking about. former polish foreign minister radoslaw sikorski is familiar with biden�*s team from his time in office. he is pleased by what he sees. well, yes,

for jen psaki to say this is an something to support what does that mean?ut it over the last month it has been floated and it is not them floating the idea. just words with them but i oppose it and the ambassador to say the vaccines, whether the vaccine is demanded, let's fight it. in any way we have to do it is not american for the federal government to be discussing this to be honest with you. jillian: we appreciate your time, thank you and have a good day. vanita gupta a cargo ship stranded at sea after 12 crew members were rescued. dramatic video shows crewmembers pulled to safety, helicopter calling for help during a severe storm off norway's coast. some of them jumping into the sea as they awaited rescue. officials fear the unmanned ship could sink causing oil to spill out, adrift without any power. jillian: "fox and friends first," apple ceo tim cook says parlor could get back on the apps store with moderation. parlor's ceo is live in the next hour. lawrence: michael walsh, a boycott of the beijing olympics. change april 7th, can you help me? a young

okay, so we have jen psaki coming up.oday that there is no chance any republicans are going to go for what the president is proposing if they involve any tax increases. obviously the white house focused a lot on joe manchin and trying to get him on board. is the best path for the white house, according to the lay of the land in congress right now, to try and do this with manchin through reconciliation, or is there some room somewhere to make one of these deals, both of these deals actually bipartisan? >> so let me unpack. there's a lot there, katy. let me get to all of these things. number one, i know the white house really wants bipartisanship when it comes to the infrastructure portion of this. that's their most likely area. i still think that's relatively unlikely. they see the corporate tax hike, which would pay for the infrastructure portion of this, as not only a pay-for, but if you asked jen psaki, i imagine she would say it's good policy, it's good politics for them because the american people believe that corpora

psaki: the have been lots of questions. the government will not now nor will it be supporting a system that requires americans to carry a credential. there will be no database or mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential. as the issues are being considered either private and nonprofit sectors, our decision is simple from the federal government, which is americans' privacy and rights should be protected so that these systems are not used unfairly. there is a movement in the private sector to identify ways that they can return to events where there are large swathes of people safely in soccer stadiums or theaters. that is something that -- that is where the idea originated and we expect that is where it will be concluded. we will be providing guidance which will look like an faq -- frequently asked question -- that provides answers to questions americans have, particularly around privacy, security and discrimination soon. i don't have an update on that yet. host: congressman the mouth for are you ok

secretary psaki: francesca? francesca: thank you.t do you say to americans working in the oil and gas industry in california and elsewhere, who say that these have been good paying jobs that have given them access to the middle class? and what, if anything, can the federal government do to ensure that these clean energy jobs like the ones that you described are as good as the ones that they'll be replacing? secretary granholm: this is a great question. and this is why the american jobs plan is very specifically targeting communities in coal and power plant areas, in gas and natural gas. there are billions of dollars in this bill for the technologies that will reduce co2 emissions in those industries. for example, carbon capture use and sequestration. i don't mean to get too technical, but hydrogen deployment and demonstration projects. i've been talking with my counterparts around the world. there is a huge appetite for a partnership with america on these next generation technologies that will reduce co2 emissions from that kind of b

really, jen psaki? chris bedford what do you think of that?ally kept captive by the white house. people working for him at least allegedly working for him largely seem to be calling the shots. when he is allowed to answer questions, who is he allowed to call on. exactly to your point earlier, not the election fraud problems this is checking into. all of the unelected bureaucrats, all the officials across our countries, who seized power from the legislature, backed by the judiciary and were able to change our voting laws in the name of covid this or that. those are the people that the legislatures are trying to rein in. it is freaks extremely important because election trust matters. elizabeth: chris bedford, thank you so much. we'll have more after the break on the border crisis with texas congressman brian babin ♪ ♪ ♪ hey google, turn up the heat. ♪ ♪ ♪ want to save hundreds on your wireless bill? with xfinity mobile, you can. how about saving hundreds on the new samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g? you can do that too. all on the most reliable netwo

why is everybody else not willing to say that including jen psaki? >> emily: kennedy, jen psaki joined a huge list of people who jumped in and made it about race. for example, valerie jarrett tweeted "a black teenage girl named ma'khia bryant was killed because a police officer decided to shoot her in order to break up a knife fight. demand accountability and fight for justice." to which there was a huge reaction to that on twitter, among them francis joseph who said, it's not a knife fight when one person lunges at another person who was unarmed. it's called attempted stabbing. lincoln was not in a gunfight with john wilkes booth. your reaction? >> it's kind of gross and cowardly to try and only abstract of the moment that the police officer shot her becausee girls and i think about the girl who was against the car who is being lunged at and essentially a murderous rage. what would've happened if that police officer had to the tape? what would have happened to the girl in pink? i look at this two ways, number one, if that were my daughter who was pi

of being behind the attacks on its nuclear facilities i asked the white house press secretary john psaki about whether the white house is concerned the alleged actions of a u.s. ally could do rail the discussions to limit iran's nuclear program and bring the united states and iran into compliance under that agreement the white house press secretary fused to comment on whether israel was involved only to say that this was in her view a speculation on causes take a listen we've seen the reports we don't have anything more to speak to as it relates to the causes or who is responsible our focus of is of course on the diplomatic path forward we've not been given any indication that attendance at the discussions and that will proceed on wednesday has changed now the white house press secretary did confirm that the united states was not involved in the attack asked for the impact the attack could have on the diplomatic discussions jen psaki saying that she will focus on the diplomatic path forward at the terms of how she expects that these talks will perceive she says the united states expects

and jen psaki, believe yours. woman in pink whose life that law enforcement saved. who speaks up for those? >> martha: it's a great question. i have to say, dan, i had one eye on duante wright's funeral. we all watched that story unfold last week. you see al sharpton and the parade of people that always seem to arrive when these kinds of tragedies happen. today we looked up, there's 441 children under the age of 18 in this country that were shot and killed in violent situations just in 2021. okay? so i'm asking where are all of these people? where is jen psaki for those children, for these individuals? there's a lot going on out there in this country. we're in very tough shape in a lot of ways as you write about today, dan. >> that's right. the day of the derek chauvin verdict, a teenager was found dead, murdered in a house in minneapolis. the 21st such murder of the year in minneapolis. there's been 100 in new york, 97 in los angeles. yeah, the question is, where is the sympathy for what's going on there? this is

listen to what jen psaki said followed up by the former u.n.2 olympics has not changed. we have not discussed and are not discussing any joint boycott with allies and partners. there is no discussion underway of a change in our plans regarding the beijing olympics. >> he refers to the georgia law as a jim crow law, yet, he is not doing anything about literal slavery happening in china. america should be leading the charge on the chinese boycott. >> john: is there a double standard at work here? >> yeah, nikki haley was absolutely right. what's going on in china is not about politics. it is genocide. we have a number of reports of women that are being forced to have abortions. forced sterilization. i mean, we really have to peel back the layers here and look at what is actually happening. it's either a genocide or it's not. and the administration should ask themselves would you hold these same olympics, would you attend these olympics if they were in darfur. would you attend if they were in myanmar. you wouldn't? what's the point of attending th

jen psaki actually won't even address it as an actual crisis.cy pelosi calls it a humanitarian crisis. it seems they can't get their vocab to match, but never mind what you call it, it doesn't matter. the point is it is indeed a crisis. kamala harris, where is she? she is supposed to be looking at the root cause of it, that is the job she was given. where is kamala harris and all of this? >> you are absolutely right. whether you call it a crisis or a challenge, the reality is we are seeing historic numbers on the southwest border. the legal apprehensions of minors and families, most of them being released into the u.s. the border patrol is overwhelming dhs and local communities so anyway you cut it there is a crisis of the board of the doesn't seem to be moving. there are no policies that will stem the flow of migrants coming into the country. you show the video of the two young girls being thrown over a border fence. that is the direct result of this administration advertising that it is okay that they will continue to allow minors to stay in t

nor would jen psaki explain why he decided to take the highly unusual step of weighing in on an ongoing criminal trial. but now that a verdict has indeed been reached within the last few minutes, bret, we learned president biden is, indeed, going to be delivering remarks from the white house a little bit later tonight. exact time tbd, bret. >> bret: kristin fisher live in the narrow gnomic north lawn, kristin the social media and the family said the president had a cold before family and their attorneys moments ago after the verdict was read. cities around the country have been bracing for protests prior to this verdict. a congressional correspondent chad program has that part of the story from capitol hill, good evening, chad. >> good evening, bret house democrats face a choice defend maxine waters or vote to punish her after judge peter cahill said waters comments could be grounds for an appeal. democrats chose to punt and sidestep g.o.p. to central waters on party line vote 2-16, 2-10. steny hoyer backed up waters. >> it is, however, irresponsible to take chair waters remarks out of

this is what jen psaki said last week when i asked her is president biden committed to raising it tonuary? is the white house still committed to raising that cap to 62,500 by this fiscal year? >> yes. >> reporter: of course, that's no longer happening, even in the new statement we got a few minutes ago jen psaki said it's unlikely after meeting with immigration officials that they would likely be able to achieve that goal of 62,500 so we'll be waiting to see what it is from the white house. of course, people's lives are hanging in the balance kind of waiting to figure how the what this number is going to be and now jen psaki says we'll figure out the new refugee cap in about a month from now, jake. >> about a month from now. so a reverse of the reversal. all right. my head is spinning here. kaitlan collins, thanks so much. tune into cnn this sunday for "stunion.

vast majority of police officers like officer evans and at the white house podium i really hope jen psaki read that tweet from rashida tlaib in light of the beautiful memorial service we just saw for a hero and is asked to respond to it because she should be held to account, her party should for that kind of record. >> emily: as you have said, we are in a complicated place, communities are in anguish both emotionally and also literarily as they are being burned down and their livelihoods are being destroyed, police department's are being defended, officers are being vilified and all of this as we speak of falling capitol police officer billy evans lays an honor there at the capitol. >> harris: i wonder if people like congresswoman rashida tlaib want us to actually see each other the way we really are, i sometimes wonder, is it easier to use us as props in politics, they don't allow people to see each other as human beings, if you make everything about racism, what we are learning about that situation and we still don't know all the facts but we learned a lot from that video without audio
