president biden late today in the rose garden -- >> it's a great milestone, a great day. it's been made possible by the extraordinary success we've had in vaccinating so many americans so quick. ror presi pointing to 250 million shots in 114 days. >> fully vaccinated people are at a very, very low risk of getting covid-19. therefore, if you have been fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask. >> reporter: biden then cauti cautioned this -- >> if you are getting a two-shot vaccine and you have not gotten your -- you only had your first shot, but not your second or you haven't waited the full two weeks after your second shot, you still need to wear a mask. >> reporter: it came just hours after the cdc director revealed new guidelines on masks in this country, under growing pressure to do so. >> we have all longed for this moment, when we can get back to some sense of normalcy. >> reporter: today dr. walensky said this new guidance is based on the science. >> more science that has emerged just in the last week. one is the effectiveness of the vaccines, in general,

a few hours later, he and the vice president came out to the rose garden. it was such a different scene. white house staff, no masks. most of the reporters there, they went no masks. the president, you heard from him. indeed, this was not chest thumping or a victory lap for him, it was for the american people. the vaccines deserve a lot of the credit, and the doctors and nurses and other health care officials who administer them. no doubt, the administration's programs to get these vaccines into arms deserve a lot of credit. biden said today they are not done. they need to reach 70% of the population to the vaccinated by july. delivery of distribution is enough, the level of cases low enough. this happened today, he was able to stand up today in the rose garden, the side of some of the president trump's times where he belittled the severity of the virus. ittled thepresident biden was ay this is a victory for the american people, and a turning point in the year long battle against the virus. >> it certainly feels like one. katie benner i have two topics for

[laughter] but i think we are likely to get the infrastructure bill and there is a lot of components to what that have been advanced by republicans are bipartisan split which makes it stronger. >> several questions from the audience go back to the same theme in your responses you set this up beautifully because people askqu questions about unity in the country being divided at biden man on a platformm stressing unity. and 100 days in where are we? and that comes from several different questions thinking about last eight speech with a joint session. president biden laid out a big agenda we heard senator scott's response. i am curious if we don't take the route of reconciliation , but we have a bill not only the majority but a super majority given the filibuster , how do we do it? if you listen to last night speech where do you see the opportunity to find legislation to get the kind of majority? give us the anatomy of the negotiation of the a legislative process how do you build unity a

a few hours later, he and the vice president came out to the rose garden. it was such a different scene. white house staff, no masks. most of the reporters there who had been fully vaccinated, no masks. the president, you heard from him. indeed, this was not chest thumping. not a victory lap for him, the president. it was for the american people. the vaccines deserve a lot of credit. he made sure to single out the scientists and doctors. the administration's program to get these in arms -- although the president said they're not done. they have a lot of work to get 70% of all americans. level of vaccines, distribution is high you have, the number of cases low enough that this happened today, and he was able to stand out there in the rose garden, the site of so many of president trump's times where he belittled the severity of the virus, and president biden was able to say, this was a victory for the american people and a turning point in this yearlong battle against the virus. >> certainly feels like one. katie benner i have two things for you tonight. how

the rose garden address wasn't even on the schedule. does it surprise you they didn't get an advance warning? >> well, apparently, it was the case that the cdc was making this decision and didn't want to hold any big sort of leaking happen. so this is sometimes the way things go. and it's clearly electrified the country, and the white house played a pretty good role in that by changing their schedule and having the president and the vice president come right on out without their masks into the rose garden to indicate in a very photogenic way what's happened. >> so let me ask you, the cdc has been under pressure to ease these mandates. they're still going to require masks on public transportation like planes and trains. how come? >> well, again, i think in circumstances where people are packed close together and you don't know the status of immunization of everybody, it is still the better part of being cautious to wear masks on those planes and trains and buses. once we get further along with a higher degree of immunization and the infe

he spoke from the white house rose garden for about 15 minutes. pres. biden: today is a great day for america. a few hours ago, the center for disease control and prevention and ecdc announced that there -- and the cdc announced that they are no longer recommending that fully vaccinated people need wear masks. this recommendation holds true whether you are inside or outside. i think it is a great milestone, a great day. this has been made possible by the extraordinary success we've had in vaccinating so many americans so quickly. to date, we've given out 250 million shots and 114 days, and we are seeing the results. cases are down in 49 of 50 states. "the new york times" has reported that hospitalizations are the lowest they have been since april of 2020, over a year ago right after the start of the pandemic. deaths are down 80%, also at their lowest level since april of 2020. as the virus tragically rages in other countries, as other nations are mired in the challenges of slow vaccine rollout and poor economic conditions, as a result, things are very d

the white house was just alerted president biden will deliver remarks later todayford rose garden abouthat, no more indoor/outdoor mask restrictions if you have been fully vaccinated. to understand what this means, let's bring in our nbc news physician dr. kavita patel, and she's also a former obama white house poll distributor. dr. patel, there are a lot of caveats in here. you certain lir going to have government buildings that still have specific requirements, certainly private companies may have specific requirements. but what does this mean for the average fully vaccinated person? >> yes, chuck, this is as close to normal as we could have expected. i will be honest, i'm a little surprised. it feels like we went from outdoor masks are gone but if you're in a crowd outdoors, still wear them and there was never really a discussion even about indoor masks. bottom line, if you're fully vaccinated, two weeks past the second dose or two weeks past a one-dose shot, you can take off that mask and you do not have to socially distance. you said there were caveats -- health care facilities, et

and the president we just heard from him in the rose garden and marked it a short time earlier. he was in with republican senators and while in there word came down about the cdc guidelines and they looked and the senator told us afterwards and took off the masks and president biden right there in the oval office and then saw him and the vice president walk out in the rose garden not a mask on either of them. address reporters. who those of us who have been through the full vaccination process also took off our masks and staffers, white house staffers, as well. there was to donny's point there was no chest thumps. he framed it as for the american people and cautioned we are not done with this yet and still too many americans dying and have work to do to make that goal by july fourth. but he was fully trying to frame this as a turning point and a symbol of that return to normal that we all wanted for so long and quick to credit science. yes. but also the american people for doing it and being vigilant and getting vaccinated. >> the speech had a definite inflection point getting t

it's called floor frame and it's in the white house rose garden. it was just unveiled last year. so it's very exciting. but i hope that it'll just be the start of collecting asian american art in the white house. so our last question this evening sarah tell us why you've become interested in this topic. and why do you think it's important for there to be diverse artists in the white house collection? you know, i think that generally speaking the white house collection is representative of the people because the white house is the people's house and so it is so important in my opinion that the white house collection represents the american diverse narrative of you know, the great american melting pot and so to see all of these works by asian american artists black artists women. it's just amazing to watch them all come together in this amazing space where americans can come and see them when they tour the white house and so i think in particular for women, it was really interesting to me because a lot of times when you visit the white house or when you learn about it, you learn ab

this is president biden from the rose garden yesterday. [video clip] pres.en: over the past 114 days, our vaccination program has led the world due to the incredible hard work of so many hard people, the scientists and researchers, the drug companies, the national guard, u.s. military, fema, the nation's governors, doctors, pharmacists, everyone who has moved heaven and earth to get as many shots in arms and as many americans as possible. it has truly been all hands on deck for the effort. some people say we cannot do this and it would not be until the fall that we have had this many people vaccinated, that 2021 might be a last year for our country as 2020 was, but we have proved doubters wrong. i need to single out one more group to praise. the american people, the american people. for more than a year, you have endured so much and so many lost jobs, so many businesses lost, so many lives upended, and so many months that our kids cannot be in school, you cannot see your friends or family. all the moments that mattered so much, from birthdays, weddings, grad

. ♪ ♪ >>> we are awaiting president biden to come out to the rose garden and speak about the country'ssized guidelines for vaccinated americans, so let's talk about what we expect to hear from president biden who we're told was as surprised by the updated guidelines as we were. let's bring in cnn chief white house correspondent, kaitlan collins, and she is at the white house. tell us what you expect the president to say? >> he will come out and tout this because it's a huge milestone in the pandemic, and it may not be what they were expecting and they thought the cdc was making the determination and saying we are going to come out and issue a new guidance, but it's a massive milestone for where we are in the pandemic, and i think we can expect president biden to come out and reflect that and try and use this as an incentive to get people vaccinated, because i think that's very much the priority of the white house and they are looking at the numbers of americans who still have not gotten the shot yet and they have taken the approach where they don't want to refer to the person as vaccin

this prompted the president and vice president to walk out into the rose garden maskless where president asked you to get vaccinated, you did. the american people stepped up. you did what i consider to be your patriotic duty. that is how we have gotten to this day. >> that is how we have gotten to this day, so says president biden. but one former president thinks it's not the only thing that got us here. in a statement released on his new blog, donald trump bemoans the fact that his administration isn't given credit for the swift production of covid-19 vaccines. quote. since the end of his presidency, reports have said that trump was concerned about biden getting all of the credit for the vaccine and while he has never been shy about claiming credit, former trump aides tell politico they are frustrated by his unwillingness to pitch his own vaccine on getting the shot. regardless of his current approach, his aggressive pursuit of vaccine development shouldn't be dismissed. it's true that president biden and his team moved with great speed to secure hundreds of millions of doses and get th

. >> reporter: president biden entering his rose garden briefing maskless.he white house confirming vaccinated staffers are no longer required to wear them. >> it's a great milestone, a great day. it's been made possible by the extraordinary success we've had in vaccinating so many americans so quickly. >> reporter: on capitol hill some senators mid-vote when the news came down gleefully taking off their masks but there are exceptions. the cdc saying fully vaccinated people should still wear masks in hospitals, on buses, trains, planes and if required by a state, county, employer or business. in california, l.a. county officials will not immediately follow the relaxed rules. in massachusetts, the mask mandate is staying in place for now and there are still questions about what this means for places like schools. one of the nation's largest teachers unions planning to follow the guidance. >> if everyone is vaccinated in a classroom, then it sounds like everybody in that classroom could go maskless. but you have to make sure everybody is vaccinated and you als

when they passed the covid rescue bill, it wasn't a rose garden ceremony, but a lot of lawmakers who were there were wearing masks outside, even, at the time. another thing to know about this guest list we were just provided by the white house is it is a bipartisan group at the white house. it includes senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, it includes susan collins, the republican senator from maine. when this administration has a chance to celebrate bipartisanship, that is something they're going to do. the president, we expect him to say as well, is notable as the vice president, the first woman to be in that office to speak today and highlight that fact. the president will also talk about, as we see some members of the justice department, including the attorney general there, the stepped-up tools and the increasing funding the president is also seeking to continue to combat hate crimes in this country. that was a big part of his budget request. but this president, as he's talked about in this pandemic era, the increase in hate crimes against asian-americans, he said, legislation

of us had been wondering about for some time, which is if he's vaccinated and everybody in the rose garden is vaccinated, especially because they're outdoors but even so indoors, why the mask and now they're not wearing a mask. i do want to ask though what about traveling? if i get on an airplane, i'm vaccinated fully and i have been for a while now. am i still not going to be expected to wear a mask? >> so this is precisely what i was trying to get at with the director of the cdc, dr. walensky, when i spoke to her after and she was asked twice about this during the conference. once by kaitlan and she sort of dodged it, saying there's going to be more guidance forthcoming on this. the science sort of applies still here. still applies, the science is indoors, large gathering or small gathering if everyone is vaccinated you don't need to wear a mask. so the two questions that sort of come up, how do you know if everyone is vaccinated or not? is there going to be proof of a vaccination being required. many businesses and institutions have sort of signalled they'll start to require a proof of
