another state going against the science tonight. the state of wyoming announcing it will repeals it mask mandate, meaning that as of this hour 15 states now do not have a mask mandate and three more states, including wyoming, are planning to end theirs in the next coming days. dropping masks, despite coming a plateau of the number of cases in the united states. right now the united states is averaging about 60,000 cases. now it is just hovering there. it is plateauing. it is exactly where we were in the summer when many of the states, including texas had mask mandates. so here is the problem with this. if we get it right now, this could be the turning point. >> there is so much that is critical that is riding on the next two months. how quickly that we vaccinate versus whether we have another surge really relies on what happens in march and april. >> so, it is crucial right now. on that front let's take a look at what is happening in boise, idaho. there is a burn the mask rally. tossing masks into a burn barrel outside the capitol of idaho. in mississippi the state's governor defending his decision to remove the state's mask mandate, even though he admits it will cost lives. >> if you have not received the vaccination and you are going into a large crowd or going out to dinner i strongly encourage people to wear a mask because i believe that it does in fact reduce the ability of individuals to spread the virus. >> he believes a mask can save lives, yet he is repealing the rule requiring people to wear them in his state. he goes on cnn to defend lifting his state's mask mandate. >> state wide mask mandates have not been in effect in our state over the last six months. we are not going back to that. >> the experts say the policy is counter to science. dr. anthony fauci saying this is what he would like to see before we start lifting restrictions. >> i would like to see as we get the level of virus in the community to a very low level, well, well below the 60 to 70,000 new infections. i would say less than 10,000 and maybe considerably less than that. >> 10,000. okay. we are sings times over that threshold. and by the way he would like considerably lower than that. even at 10,000, right now, we are ten times higher than that every single day. we have a choice to ignore the science that has successfully gotten us to 31.2 million vaccinated people or embrace the progress we have made. cnn was out front of the who and the cdc when dr. sanjay gupta called it what it is, a pandemic. he did it before either organization stepped up and did it. a year from now the world we live in will be a direct result of the choices that we make right now. just how much is the white house banking on the moment, and new cdc guidelines that they are putting out to be a key turning point in the pandemic? >> reporter: i think that they are really hoping that it is. that is why you are seeing the new guidelines. you will see president biden giving his first primetime address on thursday night, specifically about coronavirus. that comes a year to the date since we saw former president trump make a similar oval office address where he down played coronavirus early on before we realized what it would look like and announced the sweeping changes that changed day to day lives for so many americans. a lot of the changes and the restrictions still in place today. you talk about what they want thursday to look like, they will be assessing the situation. what will happen next. it will be an opportunity for president biden to out to the massive coronavirus relief bill which they directly tied to the way their response will look like. they put school openings on the success of the bill actually being passed. he is expected to sign it in law later this week. look for that as well. they don't want to take a victory lap just yet. they do want to look at what will be going forward and the new normal and how to return to normal. there are new cdc guidelines that are part of that. it is what can fully vaccinated people do. they raise a lot of questions. they are not changing the travel restriction for people that are fully vaccinated and have gotten two shots of the vaccine. there are a lot of questions facing the administration. you should expect them to focus on the relief bill and what we heard from president biden today. he does think they are getting closer to the 100 million vaccinated mark of americans. that is something else we should expect them to reference also. >> thank you very much, kiatlan. i want to go out now to the mayor of bazley. i want to show you the images again as a mother of young kids, i found them upsetting having children burning masks. burning the mask rallies. two dozen gatherings just like that. parents encouraging their children to be there. what did you think when you first saw this? >> sure. when i first saw this i reminded myself as most did that the people of this community and city value the mask mandate they have. listening to the science and protecting the people is the best way to ensure that the economy recovers and that we can come back as a community. >> here is what two lawmakers that supported the protest said in the video. here they are. >> all throughout my district the people will be showing up on saturday. i think it will be pretty fun. >> so far there are about 50 burn barrels for people to get involved. even if you don't have a mask, because in my district a lot of people don't wear masks. it is still symbolic. >> it is going to be a great event. we support it. >> what do you say to that? great event. fun. >> we partnered hand in hand with the public health districts and since july had a mask mandate because we know that wearing a mask saves lives. we are committed to doing that if we want to see our businesses continue to stay open and our economy recover. more and more around the community it has become clear that the people of boise value the steps we have taken and businesses value the steps we have taken and demonstrated that working in partnership with us to protect public health. we know that is how we keep our businesses open and recover more quickly. >> you happen to be a democrat. your governor is a republican. he said the mask burning is wrong, but here is the context around it. let me play it. >> it is not helpful for people to be burning masks. we want people to choose to make the right decision to wear a mask. >> the keywords are choose. he does not have a state wide mask mandate and then his words, it's not helpful. you know, not exactly strong language. were his words helpful? >> the most helpful thing is for the residents to continue to wear masks. all through bazoise and what wasn't captured on film. people frequenting our businesses, masked to protect the health of others around them and our trails and open space and greenbelts filled with people enjoying the weather and protecting public health by masking up. >> i appreciate the time. thank you so much. >> i want to go to dr. jonathan reiner, you know, we know the science on this. masks work as even the governor of mississippi makes clear as he said he will not have a mandate anymore. a year later it is a political issue, the fact you have parents running to send their kids to burn masks is pretty heartbreaking frankly in terms of the decisions of what they are teaching the kids and how they are choosing to raise them. how disappointing are the i images? >> well, i think it is an infuriating slap in the face to the families and the friends of the 525,000 americans who have died in the pandemic. and also to the millions of health care workers who tried to put the fire out. the thousands who have also died in the effort. it is a really sad legacy of the former administration's policy of politicizing masks and turning it into a form of a weapon in the culture wars. when i see children at the burn barrels, i think that it really veers very close to child abuse. it is really a short step a wade from, you know, watching children burning books that might be offensive to the community or burning crosses. it is really shocking imagery to me. >> i want to ask you about the cdc guidelines, the new ones for people fully vaccinated. on the good they can visit other vaccinated people, indoors without masks or social distancing. they can avoid quarantining if they are exposed to covid and they are not sick. they are still wearing masks around other unvaccinated people and avoiding travel. enough of the same life that it is understandable. some would say why bother. what do you say to the cdc guidelines. >> well, i think they have not gone far enough. the cdc is sort of painted themselves into a corner. this administration has said that science is go to drive policy. and if you look at the science, the science says that if you are fully vaccinated you are very, very unlikely to contract the virus. and we have emerging data coming out of places like israel that said if you are fully vaccinated you are unlikely to transmit the virus. why not let people travel. the cdc is afraid of somehow giving nonvaccinated people a queue to travel. i think they will get it right eventually. >> right. the science would support it. thank you so much doctor, i appreciate your time. next, biden on track to sign his first piece of legislation, and it is a major bill. it is a massive bill. it affects all of us, every american. but no republicans backed it, not a single one. why? plus he is unwelcome in trump's republican party and his own family. congressman ais not backing now. when we found out our son had autism, his future became my focus. lavender baths calmed him. so we made a plan to turn bath time into a business. ♪ ♪ find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com ♪ ♪ dana-farber cancer institute discovered the pd-l1 pathway. pd-l1. they changed how the world fights cancer. blocking the pd-l1 protein, lets the immune system attack, attack, attack cancer. pd-l1 transformed, revolutionized, immunotherapy. pd-l1 saved my life. saved my life. saved my life. what we do here at dana-faber, changes lives everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. thank you! hey, hey, no, no limu, no limu! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ tide pods ultra oxi one ups the cleaning power of liquid. can it one up whatever they're doing?

>> i think we need to be really clear when we say no republican. the governor's association unanimously wanted the bill. you had local leaders, mayors of towns. i represent a state of over 500 towns led by a lot of republicans wanted the resources for their communities. you had business groups. no great -- the bill is wildly popular, as you said. i was very frustrated that republicans in the senate were not supporting it. but i know that republicans around the country do. i will add that it is a bill that is far more directed towards working people. remember, that trump tax cut, the top 20% of earners got 63% of the benefits. the bottom 20% got 1%. this is a bill that is actually targeting working americans, the majority of americans will see significant benefits from it. >> so, i understand the point you are making and i think it is significant. business groups, republican governors and that is all fair and important. president biden staked his candidacy and presidency on bipartisanship. but when it came to the vote in the senate there was not any. he made it a core part of what he said he would do as president. here is how he framed it. >> we need to revive a spirit of bipartisanship in this country, a spirit of being able to work with one another. i pledge this to you. i will be a president for all-americans. i have been talking to a lot of my republican friends in the house and the senate. i continue to do that. >> and yet his first piece of legislation, not a single republican vote. on a personal level, maybe unsettling for him because he does know a lot of the people. he knows, trusts and has relationships with them. not a single one was there for him at this moment. does it hurt him senator booker going forward? >> i think it helps him. look, i believe like joe biden does that we desperately as a country can do big things again. we have to be able to put more unity and more indivisible behind one nation under god. he said i am going to get a bill that is wildly popular amongst residents of our nation because i believe that the issues is what matters. the partisanship is not. the majority of americans support common sense background checks. you can't find that work in the senate. mat jority of americans support raising the minimum wage. florida passed a $15 minimum wage. he knows there is unity in the country. that is why he is enjoying over a 60% approval rating, something that donald trump never saw in his approval rating is doing well, i think he will continue to go with the american people and not the brokenness of washington. >> when you look at $1.9 trillion, and you know, you point out a lot of the people wanted it. it is borrowed money. "the wall street journal" editorial bill is highly critical of the bill. the covid welfare state, the $1.9 trillion democratic bill provides a guaranteed income unlinked to work and saying only a small part passed was for pandemic or economic relief, mainly a high speed train to a cradle to grave welfare-entitlement state. the bill is five to six times greater in size than it would need to be if it just replaced lost income to americans. do you have any concerns some of that will be poorly spent? >> allow me to make two points. this is "the wall street journal" when they passed the trump tax cut that went overwhelmingly 65% of the benefits to the wealthiest americans. it blew a trillion dollar annual hole. this is just a one-time bill. their spending racked up the biggest deficits we have seen in generations. crickets over there. now what we are doing is investing in people. let me give you example. cutting child poverty in half which is what this does. every dollar spent on raising a child above the poverty line returns $8. kids out of poverty have less health care costs and less involvement in the criminal justice system and they earn more over their lifetime. this is a bill that believes in investing in the american people. the most valuable resource the nation has. it is the genius of the children. this is the greatest drop of child poverty. i am trying to make it permanent. me and more of my colleagues. this drop will be not since the great society or the new deal. it will be the greatest single year drop of child poverty in our nation's history because of what the bill does. what canada and others have shown is that by doing a tax credit it does not in any way undermine workforce participation. women's workforce participation goes up. >> all right. you know i am glad you mentioned that. we will talk about it later today. it is international women's day. senator booker, i appreciate your time. thanks. >> thank you very much for having me on. >> next, one of the few republicans to take on trump, and he knows it could cost. >> when you are willing to put the job on the line, then you are free. >> the royals interview just airing in the uk. what is the reaction there to harry and megan's stunning claims? >> there is a conversation with you. >> with harry. >> about how dark your baby is going to be. >> potentially and what it would mean or look like. h at risk. new polident propartial helps purify your partial and strengthens and protects natural teeth. so, are you gonna lose another tooth? not on my watch! one of the worst things about a cold sore is how it can make you feel. but, when used at the first sign, abreva can get you back to being you in just 2 and a half days. be kinder to yourself and tougher on your cold sores. first up is this french onion dip. i'm going to start the bidding at $5. thank you, sir. $6 over there! going once. going twice. sold! don't get mad get e*trade and get more than just trading investing. banking. guidance. ah, a package! and get more than just trading you know what this human ordered? a backache. consider pain, delivered. pain says you can't. advil says you can. up at 2:00am again? tonight, try pure zzzs all night. unlike other sleep aids, our extended release melatonin helps you sleep longer. and longer. zzzquil pure zzzs all night. fall asleep. stay asleep. to support a strong immune system, your body needs routine. centrum helps your immune defenses every day, with vitamin c, d and zinc. season, after season. ace your immune support, with centrum. four, five, turn, kick. we got chased by these wild coyotes! they were following her because she had beef jerky in her pocket.

>> yeah. the night of the election, saying it was stolen and january 6 was the other huge thing. >> reporter: that kday was a turning point. >> we shouldn't have to give up our jobs to uphold the constitution. >> re >> join the movement at countryfirst.com. >> reporter: out performing trump in illinois's congressional district stretching from wisconsin far beyond the chicago suburbs and back towards the indiana line and includes the town of dixon, the boyhood home of ronald regan. >> the kind of optimistic, powerful, moral clarity that he had. it is that type of stuff americans are desperate for. >> reporter: the congressman is making a name for himself in ways good and bad. >> i am glad there is somebody that has the courage to speak out. jeff and angie phillips are among them. >> i was a little surprised. in the future i probably will not vote for him. >> he is looking out for himself. >> reporter: a divide emerged among republican officials. a g.o.p. chairman led a censure vote. >> if adam wants to be a republican, act and talk like one. don't try to split the party and separate one of the most effective presidents we had in my lifetime. >> reporter: the party chairman and his committee rejected an attempt to rebuke the congressman. >> we are not going to get anywhere as a party in illinois if we have a party purity test at any turn. i don't agree with the impeachment vote but i will get over it. > reporter: many republicans don't believe their party is broken at all. what if it does not need or want to be saved. >> that is the question. >> if it does not want to be changed, that is a decision the republicans get to make. if that is the case long-term, i think we will lose elections. i think we will be a regional party that will not compete on the national stage. then you might see other options rising up. >> reporter: would you leave and run as an independent? >> that is not my intention. i have always been a republican. stay a republican. to have a republican party that at least accepts and tolerates different views than loyalty and swearing allegiance to one man. >> have you ever wondered, kind of sanctimonius what i am doing. >> it wasn't because i somehow think i am smarter than everybody. it is just that nobody else is saying it. >> reporter: he is among the republicans here on capitol hill who former president trump singled out, vowing to run campaigns against all of them. all house districts are going to be redrawn later this fall. it is uncertain what the district will even look like. the congressman tells me that will be worth the price to paid if it changes the republican party. for now his mission is a lonely one. he does tell me he hears from many top republicans, privately, who are right now afraid to speak out. >> privately, all right. thank you. i want to go to our chief political correspondent. look, he is willing to walk and that gives him the power. he is willing to lose. he is betting that there is a place in the party for an anti-trump voice. there is a reason like everyone is speaking to him in private that are republicans. because he may not survive this. >> absolutely. he knows that. like jeff said at the end of the piece there. you know, one of the things is that there is redistricting going on in illinois. so, he might not even have a seat. so, that is no question part of the political reality that he is facing. but it goes well beyond that. he is hoping that want republican party is movable and changeable. but, you know, it is not really entirely clear that is the case given how strongly held the views are among so many republicans, even in his own district that he is wrong and that donald trump is right. >> so, no republican voted for the covid relief bill, even though it was very popular with the american people. about you what i find interesting about this is that they did not come out with nuanced and thoughtful talk about the debt and how to best spend money. what we heard as the bill was struggling through the senate is none of that. we heard about dr. seuss. here is exactly what we heard from the senate floor. >> first they outlaw dr. seuss and now want to tell us whatted to say. >> the priorities of the democrats is renaming a post office and canceling dr. seuss. >> we should respect and honor dr. seuss. >> i would not eat green eggs and ham. i do not like them sam i am. >> no matter what the issue is they are just going to deflect over there and pick whatever culture war, happened to be dr. seuss at the time to fire up the base. policy be dammed. >> right. it is not what it is about, it is the easy political move. in this game of politics that they are playing here. when it is obviously not a game. when the congress was working on something that was and is very real to so many people's lives. a lot of republicans, including those that show may and do have real policy differences with a lot of the pieces of the very large tllegislation that is liky to be signed by president biden this week. they chose to not do it. there are a lot of reasons for that. one might be is that one of the main components of that bill is direct payments, the kind of direct payments they all support. in fact it is even lower than what the president that they all still pledge fielity to. the culture war is tried and true, specifically for republicans in general in primaries and specifically for house republicans as they try to pick away at enough seats in the narrow majority that the democrats have in order to get it back because they need their base to get out and vote and this is easy, you know, easy energizing. sam i am. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. next, the global reaction to harry and megan's bombshell interview claims pouring in. and it is all over the map. >> it shows you what the palace is really thinking about. >> breaking news, new signs the manhattan d.a. investigation into trump's finances is heating up, specifically looking at a loan trump received for a skyscraper in chicago. ve moderae plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months after just 2 doses. skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. man: i feel free to bare my skin. ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. to support local restaurants, we've been to every city. including little rock and even worcester. and tonight... i'll be eating the chicken quesadilla from...tony's tex mex...in... katy.

who is having that conversation? with you. what? >> there are several conversations. >> there is a conversation with you -- >> with harry. >> about how dark that your baby is going to be. >> potentially and what it would mean or look like. >> i appreciate both of you. so, richard, you know you watched this here and then in your country of birth, you see it air today. totally different in how it is being received in the u.s. and uk. much more sympathetic towards the royal family in the uk versus the coverage here in the u.s. why? >> i think what is happening in the u ks they divorced the awfulness of the racist comments and they focused instead on what harry has been claiming about the way they were treated and what they were given and not. remember yesterday in the interview, she said right at the beginning when she first met the queen she thought of them as being celebrities, a-list celebrities. it was only when she became part of the family she realized it was an institution. it was if you like our equivalent of the constitution. they are at the center of everything to do with officialton in britain. i think what happened in britain is that the u ks thinking that it is shaking the foundation of the monarchy. it is not about celebrity journalism or however it may be viewed. they have managed to divorce the racist parts or what might be seen -- what they are seeing instead as being this is about the queen. this is attacking the queen. >> so, they are divorcing those two things. renee, you wrote in your califcolumn, every black woman felt megan's words as she spoke of what it meant to have her existence threatened and her life turned inside-out by racism. how much do you think the difference in reaction we are seeing here has to do with the crucial issue of race and racism? >> i think the duchess made a mistake, and that was telling the truth about the monarchy. i think it is absurd for people to think that the monarchy is not racist. we know what happened when she first began dating harry. the headlines in the british press like straight out of comcomp ton. prince michael of kent, the first time he met her wore a dark broach and didn't mean anything by it. she never has been welcomed because she is part of essentially a monarchy that is built on white supremacy. there is no more white institution on the face of the earth than the monarchy, and megan was never going to belong and they made her know she didn't belong. >> richard, on the issue of harry, you know, admitting it. he said a person expressed concern about archie's skin color and that it was a disturbing conversation. he said, later, to oprah he made it clear that the person was not the queen. that person was not prince phillip. he refused to specify who made the comment. if you take out the queen and prince phillip and talk about someone in a close proximity to have, it does not leave many other options. >> it leaves prince charles, cam camillia, probably william and kate. it is highly unlikely to be princess andrew or edward. the other minor royals would not be having that conversation. the smart money is on charles. or william. i think that anybody that looked at the royal family. i take exactly what you said. i can see exactly how they have got into this mess. because the nature of the family is so tight. the nature of royalty is so buttoned up, that they will have twisted themselves time and again, as they are doing tonight in how to handle this. remember, this is the family that couldn't bring down the flag when diana died. why? protocol did not allow for it. the family that was having a turmoil about whether archie was to get a prince hood or title or not after he was born. these were discussions because they would have tied themselves in knots over it. and in doing so they have absolutely created the worst crisis for the monarchy possibly since diana. >> that is pretty stunning and an incredible thing to say. renee, i want to give you the final word. >> you know, i think it should be a lesson to the monarchy, understanding that this is the 21st century. to be fretting about the skin tone of a grandchild is appalling. you know, there is really no way around that. the funny thing about that, and i kept thinking about this last night when meghan was talking. it reminded me when lebron james became outspoken about racism in the country, and he was told to shut up and dribble. people wanted meghan to shut up and courtesy and she refused to do that. and she wanted to be treated like a human being. she wanted to be treated like a member of the family. instead she had to take all of the guff from the people that were supposed to be protecting her. and she pushed against it. i don't blame her. i think she did what she needed to do. that is why i think that a lot of black women in this country, and probably in britain understood exactly where she is coming from and why she felt the need to say that. >> new signs that the manhattan district attorney's investigation into the former president trump is growing. prosecutors subpoenaed documents related to a $130 million loan. on national womens day, we look at how the pandemic has affected women and their careers. will it force the world to rethink the work/life balance. it just cleans better, so your family can use less. hello clean bottom! enjoy the go with charmin. visible is wireless that doesn't play games. it's powered by verizon for as little as $25 a month. but it gets crazier. bring a friend every month and get every month for $5. boom! 12 months of $5 wireless. visible, wireless that gets better with friends. this is the destroyer of ransomware. ah, i'm the head of i.t., my name is paula. destroying ransomware is, like, the most epic thing anyone's ever done. it's actually really easy. i just use sophos. if she told you how she did it, your face would melt off and you'd probably die. i just told you how i do it. we'll edit that part out so your face doesn't melt off. this is the destroyer of ransomware destroying more ransomware. she knows we know she knows we'll never know how she does it.
