. >>> president biden greeted by cheers and applause as he walked into the rose garden just about 90 minutes ago. it's his first appearance in public since he got covid and he used it as an opportunity to update the country on what his administration has done to fight the pandemic. mike memoli is at the white house for us. i heard you say that this is a triumphant moment for him, i got through it, i'm okay, but also a teachable moment, right? >> reporter: that's right, chris, it's a teachable moment in that the president was able to use his own brief stay with covid-19 to illustrate what white house officials have been talking about for several weeks which is that this ba.5 varcht is a reminder we can't let our guard down, we have to follow all the protocols, follow cdc guidance but also the importance of vaccination and the treatments that are now available. the president saying he never was in fear even with his diagnosis because he knew that he was likely to have a mild case thanks to all the data showing that those who are vaccinated and boosted likely will have that. now, it was

>> i would say the rose garden. one we have lost in eod and essentially of brick or a plaque. >> it does tell a story. what it doesn't do is it doesn't tell the story of the injured marines. these are the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice. understanding that, if we were to place a rose for every marine that suffered some type of physical or mental injury, there wouldn't be enough space in the rose garden. >> that got me a little bit. those two men, the baldheaded guy with the mustache was my boss. he was just becoming an officer. the other guy did my post flash. he picked my pieces up off the battlefield. they also trained me as the new guy going into war. real quick on the volleyball court. that was a brand-new building. when we deployed in 2010 we left from a building that was a condemned maintenance space. it wasn't supposed to be used in the last 30 years. they built that while we were gone and move them back into it. the volleyball court was a pretty parking lot. the first thing the eod techs did when they g

as he got back to work, biden spoke in front of a group of staffers at the rose garden and he crit his recovery to the government's investment in testing, treatment and vaccines while comparing his recovery to that of his pred sesser. >> you can avoid winding up with a severe case or covid death and three tools that my administration has invested in and distributed this past year, booster shots, at home tests, easy to use effective treatments. we've got through covid with no fear. and i got through it with no fear. while my predecessor got covid, he had to be helicoptered to walter reed medical center. he was severely ill. thankfully, he recovered. when i got covid, i worked from upstairs at the white house, in the offices upstairs, and for the five-day period. the difference is, the vaccinations, of course, and also, three new tools, free to all and widely available. >> the president will speak with china's xi jingping over the phone today. really significant call. the white house says the two leaders whose diplomatic relationship goes back decades but have not met since biden took of

remarks by president biden here in the rose garden. so we will see president biden emerge from that covid isolation more than five days now after he tested positive for coronavirus and has been isolated inside the white house residence. now because of the fact that he is emerging after five days which fits cdc guidelines, the white house also added the requirement of a negative test which goes beyond cdc guidelines. but president biden nonetheless will still wear a, quote, well-fitting mask for the full ten days since he first tested positive. so when he is around others, the white house says that president biden will indeed be wearing a mask. and of course they do know that there is this potential given the fact that he took that paxlovid antiviral treatment for that rebound in symptoms. and because of that, they say that they will increase the testing cadence for president biden over the next several days, both to protect him and people around him. so again, that is something that we will now have to keep our eye on over the next wee

this is after the rose garden speech. this is after the video was playing all over fox news that he was watching. he said mike pence let me down. look at what's happening in 2024. there is widespread speculation it is going to be a donald trump/mike pence rematch. this isn't just past history. there are real forward looking implications for this and the way that the republican party grappled with this moment. >> let me bring in -- >> i was going to say really quickly that when i hear hallie talking about the forward looking consequences, i think of two things. first, the outtakes. i think we learned more from those outtakes and hearing ivanka trump coaching her father than we did from the video that day. we know this is the largest fbi investigation in history. the fbi is prosecuting hundreds of people. the day after this happened you have the president of the united states saying i don't feel comfortable saying that. that's important when you think about mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy bothered about what happened on
