Transcripts For FOXNEWS America Reports With John Roberts Sandra Smith 20240711

Sandra house conservatives also taking aim at Conference Chair liz cheney, calling for her removal from that post after she voted to impeach former President Trump. We have affecting coverage to kick things off on this wednesday afternoon, Kristin Fisher with more of the Biden Administrations next steps but we begin with Jacqui Heinrich live on capitol hill for us this afternoon, hey. Hey there sandra Marjorie Taylor greene did not make things easy on House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy during our long meeting last night expressing no remorse, im told over past comments she made when elective promoting conspiracy theories. Mccarthy was forced to call in the Stearate Committee and lawmakers with their assignment. Whatever mccarthy decide to become it was not enough for House Democrats who Just Announced they are moving forward with a vote tomorrow on the floor to strip green of her committees. Democrats in the meantime seizing this moment watching half a Million Dollar ad campaign and leading House Republicans to qanon. He wanted to avoid the floor though but one party can essentially force the others hands one source tells me. That is where a small fraction of republicans with a Counter Effort on ilhan omar demanding she be stripped of her Committee Assignments over what some called antisemitic statements and later apologized for in 2019. We are not sure if that is what mccarthy proposed over Marjorie Taylor greene but it was objected and the senators ramping up sodas to my criticism of her and the g. O. P. Conference has to decide how she will shape the party with congressman steve king who was stripped of his committee after racist comments came to light. He later lost his reelection bid. Adding to the tension, liz cheney is going to be in this g. O. P. Conference meeting later this afternoon. And it calls for some members come about 100 we are told, conservatives to strip her of her Leadership Position after she broke with the party and voted to impeach President Trump last month. Now, Mitch Mcconnell, threw his weight behind cheney so as this plays out, we are watching what could be somewhat of a defining moment for the post trumped g. O. P. , sandra. Sandra Jacqui Heinrich, thank you. We will have much more on this, the three prominent republicans coming up the next two hours, senator Marshall Blackburn will join us in a moment in the next hour we speak with Lindsey Graham and ohio congressman jim jordan and we look forward to all of that, john. John certainly are, sandra. President biden defending the dozen of the Executive Orders and actions he has signed so far during his first two weeks in office by saying hes eliminating bad policy left over by the previous administration. White house correspondent Kristin Fishers live from the north lawn for more of this, good afternoon kristen. Afternoon, john should go without saying for space force is more than an Applause Line at trump rally. It is a fully functioning branch of the u. S. Military with members tasked with defending the newest War Fighting Domain in our space which is why this exchange in the Briefing Room yesterday upset many in the states industry and on capitol hill. We ask if the president made a decision of keeping the scope on space force. Wow, space force, it is the plane of today. It is an interesting question. I am happy to check with our Space Force Point of contact. Im not sure who that is. I will find out and see if theres any update on that. The Top Republican is calling that comment disgraceful. Hes asking the White House Press secretary jen psaki to apologize. Congressman mike rogers said it is concerning to see the Press Secretary diminish an entire branch of the military as a punch line of a joke, which im sure china would find funny. The space force has passed unanimous support in congress, the same type of unity President Biden is supposedly working towards. So far psaki is not apologizing but she tweeted we look forward to continue the work of the spaceports. There are Big Questions what will happen to the trump era program at nasa with astronaut to the moon by 2024. So for the Biden Administration has not really said anything about that. But yesterday President Biden did address some of the criticism that perhaps signing too many Executive Orders to fast. The president says im not making new laws. Im eliminating bad policy. He could be sending more Executive Action later this week, john. John we will keep watching whats going on. Today at the white house, this hour Kristin Fisher, thank you so much, sandra. Sandra thank you, john. The New York Times urging Biden Administration to appoint a realitys are considering what it is, disinformation and suggestion coming in an article entitled how the Biden Administration can help solve our reality crisis. Guidance and a host of the Guy Benenson Show and what exactly this means, im sure you will suggest something, but here is something of the New York Times article. Several efforts with the Biden Administration put together a Agency Task Force to tackle disinformation and domestic Extremism Led by Something Like a reality czar. Guy, is this something that is really needed . Look we have eight disinformation and conspiracy problem in american politics. I think that is undeniable but a reality czar, George Orwell call your office. This is almost cartoonish, right . First of all, lets say this is a good idea and i dont think it is a good idea. The people who are most inclined to believe things that may not be true or not going to stop believing them because in unappointed czar from the Biden Administration and the federal government tells him what reality is. Right . They will not be swayed. So that is a logical loophole, may be a flaw in this plan. The other thing is its difficult for conservatives like myself to trust team biden. To properly adjudicate what is and what is not reality. After all, team biden back when it was a campaign for a number of weeks in october and november spent a lot of time telling all of us that a New York Post series with hunter biden was all just russian disinformation, right . They have no proof of that. It wasnt russian disinformation but in fact it was onto something quite real and ongoing federal investigation. They denied it, lied about it and blamed russia and they would potentially report to dictate reality from some bureaucrats it for the rest of america . Come on. Sandra perhaps you can decode this part of the article as well. The task force could meet regularly with tech platforms. Are you feeling better yet, guys . And Push Software changes. All of their buddies. Let me just go to my previous example about that, New York Post article in that series of reports about hunter biden. The fake story and excuses being put forward by the Biden Campaign were seized upon by Big Tech Companies who suppress that story and in some cases, barred it from their platforms. There was a little bit of the Unholy Alliance in that case, and that has remained a bitter test and a lot of americans pallet. Having big tech on board doesnt necessarily make those folks feel better at all but worse. Sandra interesting, now there is some controversy over comments that the new president made about fbi agents as a generality, which discussing the two fallen agents down in florida yesterday who died in the line of duty, guy. He made these comments and getting a lot of reaction, listen. The demise, it is a hell of a price to pay. In every single day, by and large, the vast majority of men and women are decent, honorable people. Sandra what should be taken away from that for him to say the majority of men and women are decent, honorable people when talking about fbi agents. It is kind of a strange formulation there, especially in a lot of cases it has been Trump Supporters upset with certain actions of individual fbi agents in regard to the Russian Investigation and other things. I feel like when some of our Men And Women In Uniform and the elite level of the fbi are murdered in cold blood while carrying out their duties, we can all hopefully put politics aside for at least a few hours or a day or two and just express our extreme condolences as a nation and the families of those who lost loved ones. And also just to have a moment of gratitude for the fact that these people are the tip of the spear. Against very dangerous people. And sometimes, most often the fbi wins. Sometimes they run into a very parallel situation with a person. You saw what happened yesterday. It was absolutely heartbreaking. Sandra to fbi agents but their life on the lines and they lost their lives and they showed up yesterday. Guy, thank you for joining us, great to see you. Of course. Speed to a qualifier that the president has there. What was going through his mind when he said it . Sandra to guys point something we heard during the Trump Administration, of course Andrew Mccabe and others, but maybe we will hear more on that, john. John we will see. Fox news alert the National Guard reported a deadly crash for the second time in two weeks today. Three idaho pilots died last night after their black hawk helicopter like the one you see on your screen went down. The crash happened during a Training Flight near boise. A spokesperson said snowy Weather Conditions held up in initial searches, but the crews found the wreckage early this morning. The cause of the crash under investigation. Three pilots were also killed january 20th when the black hawk crashed outside of rochester, new york. Sandra fox news alert nel, President Biden pick for Education Secretary and his set of Confirmation Hearings today. So was the white house back with promises to get kids back in school in the first 100 days of bidens term . We are waiting a g. O. P. Meeting to decide the state of liz cheney and Marjorie Taylor greene and what is the future of the Republican Party . Senator Marsha Blackburn will join us next. I think there needs to be a vote.

Sandra fox news alert washington honoring officer brian kick sick nick and the last month, his remains have now arrived at Arlington National cemetery where he will be laid to rest. Earlier this morning lawmakers pay tribute to the fallen hero and House Speaker nancy pelosi praised him for his sacrifice. We heard from his entire family, and what a special person he was. How kind he was. And we know from his surface on the Capitol Police force, how patriotic he was. Our promise to brians family is that we will never forget his sacrifice. Sandra last night President Biden and first Lady Joe Biden paid their respects. His remains lay in honor at the capitol rotunda. He is just the fifth private citizen to receive that distinction. John president by a dense secretary testifying on capitol hill today, and a Confirmation Hearing coming admit lots of questions about the plan to reopen schools. Lets bring in republican senator Marsha Blackburn from tennessee, a member of Judiciary Armed services committee. Senator, big question is when will the students be able to go Back To School . President biden wanted everybody back in School Elementary level and 100 days but seems to be running into problems with slow rollout of the coronavirus vaccines, covid mutations, problems with School Unions and out tennessee governor bill lee told the School District in Memphis To Go Back february 15th, neither, as i understand has responded to him with a plan to do. What are parents to think . One of the things that we do know is the Teachers Union in some cities and states are refusing to go back to the classroom and this is one of the reasons that we are saying, look, if youre not going to go back to class, you shouldnt get some of this 110 billion that the senate has put in the pipeline that is there to help defray the cost of opening the schools during the pandemic. Now most School Systems are open. Most children are in class. I am hearing from parents that are in so many different areas that it is healthier, it is better, the cdcs guidance to get these children in school, pediatricians say they need to be in school. Socialization, emotional health, as well as the ability to learn. Though i think we restrict these funds if they are not going to go back to the classroom. These mayors and governors need to give these Teachers Unions on the ultimatum. I thought it was interesting in chicago they are talking about they are moving the goalpost. They satisfy one set of needs and come up with another set of needs. Sandra senator, the Covid Task Force of the new Administration Just met this morning and very clearly, the director of the cdc says schools can remain open, they should remain open and teachers dont even have to be vaccinated to have to reopen, watch. Just for a second. We also want to be clear there is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen, and this a reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely. Sandra i mean it is remarkable to think that there are still teachers and you represent chicago there, they cannot return safely to the class, marsha. You are exactly right and i had a parent who said every child in that classroom has to be vaccinated to go to school. But yet, you have teachers that are saying, we will not go back until we get vaccinated where we are not going to take the vaccine. Now, this is absolutely ridiculous. It sounds like we need to make way for some new teachers and some of these districts so that these children can be receiving the in Class Instruction that they need to be receiving. John senator it is a big day for the former chamber with the house g. O. P. Congress taking up issue is whether or not liz cheney should be removed from her position as the g. O. P. Conference chair and Marjorie Taylor greene should be disciplined for espousing some of the abuse she has. The Wall Street Journal writing today if the house g. O. P. Punishes ms. Cheney and saying nothing about Marjorie Greene a longer time in the wilderness. I know this might be a matter that you think is better left for the house to deal with, but it does raise significant issues for the Republican Party. What will the perception and what will the future of the party be . John, as you said, that is my former chamber. I know how frustrated it would make me when senators would weigh in on things that we were doing or debating over in the house chamber. So im going to leave the actions of the day to the house leadership. I know they are working through this. But when it comes to the g. O. P. , let me say this. For four years, i have been saying we should change g. O. P. From standing for grand old party. Those of us in tennessee think there is nothing cool about grand and old except the grand old opry. And we should become the great opportunity party. We should put the focus on individuals being able to achieve their version of the american during. And then having equal opportunity across the board. I think we need to think about what g. O. P. Stands for. John i appreciate, senator, your desire to leave this to the house, but the Minority Leader did say liz cheney is a leader with deep convictions and encouragement to act on it. She is an important leader in the nation. Im grateful for her service and look forward to continue working with her with the issues. How do you feel about liz cheney . Im going to leave all of these issues of the day to the house. I think we will leave everything to the house to the members of the house caucus. I believe that there. Sandra when it comes to senator Marjorie Taylor greene, karl rove says shes a problem for the party. The party needs to deal with it. What are your thoughts . Im going to leave all of this about the house to the house. Sandra you dont have a stand either way . You know, sandra, i will let them deal with issues in front of them today. We will all leave this at the house leadership. Sandra you are a sitting u. S. Senator and you should probably have a thought on it. Im going to leave all of this to the house. I know they are working through this. John let me ask you something, senator, i wish i would know you would have an opinion, the legislation you introduced the feathers to strip dod funding states to allow immigrant, Illegal Immigrants to obtain drivers license. This is this top green lighting for Illegal Immigrants act. This has been tried before tuna with ale. Why wouldnt succeed this time . It should succeed because people are sick and tired of seeing sync with the Gnomic Sanctuary Cds receive funds that they are supposed to be using for Law Enforcement and ae time, they are using it to circumvent federal law. And yes, indeed, we have tried this before and we continue to bring up the issue. People since 9 11 have said how was it that you have people that were here to do our country bill that had ill will to us, they were able to be here illegally and they got a valid drivers license after their visa had expired . And they are definitely wanting to see something done about this. Now, these entities, we have 15 states and the district of columbia that are giving these drivers license to those illegally in the country. This is something that needs to stop. If you are here illegally, you not to have any type of official government i. D. Sandra final question to you. It is a story that has been fascinating to watch, the relocation of so many residents of these various Dates Looking For Freedom in the case of california. Uhaul is saying one of the major Relocation Destinations of the United States is right there in tennessee, nashville. Its been a big target for a lot of people looking to flee some of these very loose dates and flee some of the strict regulations set up the band put on them because of the coronavirus. I wonder if you see how that changes in the democratic part of your state. People are choosing to come to tennessee for basic reasons. No state income taxes. And appreciates our rights, our freedoms, our religious liberties, and they like the fact that we are a great place for doing business. Good schools and our schools are open. And this is why they are choosing to come to tennessee, and we want to make certain that they realize it is conservative values, conservative principles, respecting the constitution, respecting the rule of law. Those are all things that have helped make tennessee the great state that it is. Sandra fascinating trend to watch. Yes, it is. Sandra senator think you. Go to be with you, thank you. John moving from nashville to tennessee, hey, tom. Sandra there could be trouble for California Governor Gavin Newsom meanwhile, so what is adding fuel to the recall campaign . A head the Group Meeting the charge just ahead. The killing of two fbi agents in florida yesterday. The events that led up to that shooting in what are now learning about the suspect next.

Sandra fox news alert and details with the deadly shootout in South Florida yesterday where those two fbi agents were shot and killed while serving a warrant in a Child Exploitation case. Live with more, steve, what is the action they are this afternoon . Sandra, we have been speaking with neighbors and the Apartment Complex where everything went down. Initially, they said there was a sense of shock. This was a gated community and suddenly 6 00 a. M. In the dark on tuesday a major gun battle erupts in fbi agents are slain. We spoke to a few more now and they say a real sense of sadness that they dont know their neighbors. They dont know the People Living these double lives right next door. There is also a lot of Police Officers here on Motorcycle Patrol Driving back and forth and this attack is really running deep. New details from the miami herald. They say supporting Law Enforcement services the suspect and the child Pornography Case shot through a closed door that he monitored the agents coming to his apartment through a doorbell camera. Daniel daniel alfin and Lauren Schwartzenberger with a long history of fighting child pornography. They are both leaving families behind and they are being mourned by the fbi as he rose. It takes an incredibly special person to answer the call into the heroic work of an fbi special agent. It requires selfsacrifice. It requires putting ones self in harms way, not once, but again and again. An investigation i was underweight into what happened and why. But officials maintained that this operation was meticulously land. Sandra Steve Harrigan and sunrise florida, thank you. John. John California Republicans say a petition to force recall votes against governor gavin newsom has gained 1. 3 million signatures appear that number just shy of 1. 5 million needed by midmarch to prompt a Recall Election later this year. John joins us now, the chairman to rescue california pack supporting the recall effort. Tom, great to see you today. According to the los angeles times, Gavin Newsoms Approval Rating is plummeting according to the times months ago an Approval Rating of 64 but now 46 . You help push through gray davis is recall. How does this recall which appears to be gathering steam compare . Well, we are in a different agent with regard to the internet and so many people are involved with this. Nearly 1. 4 million and we expect to hit that next week. And so social media and the like has given us a bigger story. And this is a bigger National Story than it was in the gray davis years. John what are the issues that are really driving this recall, in your mind . John, this is something building with him, two years ago big tech warned him that the state cannot provide electricity, we will move. Water in the state. There was a crime issue, letting people out of jail during covid. There is number one in poverty. All of these things were building up and then covid came along. Again, there was the big shutdown and more shutdowns longer than anywhere else but the worst results. In other covid Covid Vaccine rollout has been completely launched. He has had this arrogance problem. He told us to stay home when he dined at the finest restaurants against the covid rules and lied about it. So it is thing after thing. Finally in california, we are having a discussion about what california policies should be. It doesnt normally happen in this oneparty state where the democrats and the left wing media exclude such discussion. John i tell you that dinner at the French Laundry appear to be the tipping point. Another big concern is schools. The mayor of san diego who jumped into the ring yesterday saying he wants to run for governor if there is an election made his announcement at a Public School in los angeles that was closed which happen to be across the street from Private School that was open. This really highlights a problem that a lot of parents not only in california but across the country are wrestling with. And as you heard the Previous Story come outlined in its where he doesnt work with communities and indicates how broadbased this is spirit the hospitality, the restaurant industry, workers who are democrats but want him gone because they want to be able to provide for their family. Parents who know that the dropout rates, although the state wont produce its dropout rate. Im still trying to find that out. So this is very broadbased because it deals with almost every sector of the california society. John i was thinking about who was leaving his position in that state. He is leaving his position in california to come up here to be agent secretary. Should he get confirmation and now, axios is reporting that Congress Adam Schiff is looking to take his job while lobbing the governor for that and maybe try to position himself to replace dianne feinstein, the senator should she decide to not run for reelection. Adam schiff coming back to california as Attorney General. How does that strike you . I have been an attorney of 30 years and its problematic. Attorney generals and Secretary Of State should be nonpartisan. He is obviously hyperpartisan. This reality which we are finally having a discussion, remember gavin newsom lost on the big tax increase he wanted in november, cashless bail trying to drive out huber and lift and we have had so much success because people are tired of no solutions and policies as usual. John we will keep watching this recall effort, tom, we really appreciated, sandra, it sounds like they are getting close. Sandra really interesting to watch and you look back to the culmination of events, john, where he had the governor pictured at a fancy restaurant, not distancing, not mask and then you had that Restaurant Owner who said, hollywood was able to operate right outside here where i cannot serve my customers outside, even though sciences that is not a problem. And it was all of that, john and so much more that built over time. We will keep watching it. John people dont like people on a bipartisan live or are upset whats going on. Sandra absolutely. Some americans might not get the next round of Stimulus Checks even though they got one last time around. Wipe republicans and democrats says there needs to narrow focus for those checks appeared Florida Governor is cracking down on big tech. The fight back against Social Media Platforms that critics say have way too much power. This is going to be a big fight in the legislative session. Hopefully, we will get a lot of support.

Sandra President Biden promising another round of stimulus for struggling americans, but republicans and some democrats hoping to limit who is eligible to receive those checks this time around. Now the white house is reportedly considering the same. David essman is joining us now from the fox business network. He is on set with me which is always fun to see. Its been a while. Sandra they want to target the Stimulus Checks. A big reason for that larry kudlow making a debut on fox all week. From the first round has gone unspent. 1 trillion as far as anybody can tell. If you are interesting in looking up the figures the committee force responsible federal budget, they do a kind of weekly version of how much covid relief money is actually left in the pot. But you have 4 trillion of money that was devoted that they agreed to spend already. 2. 7 trillion has been spent or allocated for spending. That leaves 1. 3 trillion and it might be a little bit less than that, but that is the way congress thinks, it is somebody elses money. And they are allocating more spending before they spent the trip 1 trillion. There is another part of all of this, what are people spending their money on . Sandra we have been reporting this week that some are using it in day training. Some put directly into savings. People have been boarded up in their homes and cant spend money at restaurants and cant go to restaurants so they get this check and they havent lost their job and there are a lot of people that deserve money, no question about it but the people who have money that dont where are they going to spend it . If you get a 1400 check from the government, maybe you spend that on stocks and the way stocks are going gambling on trades which is an easy way to lose money. You shouldnt do that, by the way. If you get the stimulus money, you should bank it were spend on something you need or retire some of the debt. Sandra the point is there are actually struggling americans and a briefing at the white house as jen psaki 1. 7 million americans struggling to even meet putting food on the table. Lets target those americans. I want to get to this before the governor cracks down on big tech. What we are allowing people to do is put civil suits to unfair trade practices statue. These companies can act. They can collude and they can deny you Small Business payment processing. And so you go to a real late that they dont like where you engage in wrong things and all of a sudden your Flower Business is decapitated for a month because they take action. So i think we have gone down a dangerous path on this. This provides protection. Sandra just tell her do you believe he is willing to go with this . As far as necessary. You dont want to wait until things get so bad that you are targeted just because of your political beliefs. People can be denied payment processing. People that have Small Companies who have owners who have spoken out politically and away the social Media Companies dont like. It can really affect peoples wallets. Do you want to wait until that happens, or do you want to put in protections . They have this section 230 and a lot of peoples eyes get crossed with section 230 but that predicts social Media Companies from any lawsuits. It was done, it was given to these companies with the assumption they would be open platforms. That they wouldnt discriminate based on politics. We now know they do that. They did that with the New York Post story. A lot of people thought that was on unkind contribution to the Biden Campaign led them to not having to deal with a lot of embarrassing stuff. Submit companies, if these social Media Companies are going to act like publishers, they shouldnt have protections other publishers dont have. At least take away section 230. If not, states like florida will begin producing civil lawsuits against them for harming their own citizens because that could happen. And you want to wait until they have the power to do that or do you want to pull the chain on them now . Sandra david, real quick last thought, big picture on this whole story, day traders and the colluding that supposedly was taking place on the Social Media Platforms to drive up the stocks. Where do you stand on that . It has gotten really political. You know, the bottom line, we have seen this so often. When politicians interfere in things that they dont really know about, you end up with troublesome regulations that do more harm than good. I just wonder whether people like alexandria ocasiocortez know the details of what is being done with trades. You use to deal with that market and chicagos but auctions is a complex thing and they may not know what an auction is. Sandra suggesting that anybody should be able to go around and the Derivative Market without accountability on margin. It is a complicated subject. By the way, not just far left lawmakers like aoc. Josh hawley the senator from missouri. The mention of collusion and one thing we know, look at parler and mork for giving to conservatives than twitter is, you cant do it anymore because all the Big Tech Companies colluded together to kill parler and that is collusion, monopoly and that is what we dont need in america. I love it. Sandra thank you. John. John White House Press secretary jen psaki Holding A Briefing right now. She is going over points of Common Ground between republicans and covid relief and sing in an Oval Office Meeting with the Democratic Senate leaders, they agreed there was a need to go big appearance but they do want to find bipartisan agreement. Lets listen for a little while. Secretary psaki every resource we need to defeat this virus and get back to normal. 130 billion to make sure the kids can go back safely. 20 billion to nationwide vaccination campaign, 50 billion for more and better testing and critical funding to improve our ability to track and defeat emerging covid19. I know that was a lot, but a lot of interesting issues, go ahead. Reporter thank you so much, two questions. President biden told House Democrats today he considered 1400 direct payment a promise he cannot bring. At the same time, a new analysis from the budget model suggests that 73 of those payments would go into savings and instead would be spent in ways to boost growth. Im wondering what is more important, to keep the promise or to ensure that the package does all it can to maximize growth . Secretary psaki first, on that analysis we have seen that analysis and i talked to our Economic Team about it and the majority of studies on the plan including independent analyses from the wall street, and the brookings institution. The analysis concludes the economy is near capacity, which would be news to the millions of americans with reduced paychecks. So the starting place means that the model is way off. So our view is, we will listen to governors. We will listen to a broad range of economists. We will listen to Health Experts on what is needed. What the American People need at this point in time. One in seven American Families dont have enough food to eat. It is clear there i is a great need for assistance. Reporter secondly, the state department tomorrow, how tone with regard to refugees, china, and russia relative to his predecessor . Secretary psaki well, first i would say the president said tomorrow we will reschedule because of snow is largely focused on his desire to thank the men and women who are Foreign Services officers, Civil Servants who are the Heart And Soul of the institution and frankly our government. I worked there too and have years and it is an incredible place. Many of them have had a challenging couple of years. But he also talked broadly about Foreign Policy, how could he not if he was there . This will not be laid down as his vision for every issue in every Foreign Policy issue. He will have plenty of time to do that. So i just want an Expectation Set what to expect or tomorrow, but you are also asking about the difference between his approach of russia and china. I think on russia, his call to President Putin was a couple of weeks ago, two weeks ago . Clear evidence of exactly that. When he called President Putin, he did not hold back. He made clear while there are areas we can Work Together come as new start and the improvements of security of the United States, he has concerns about a number of areas of their Reporting Interference whether elections, hacking of the United States and solar wind hacking, bounties on american troops. There is an ongoing review that is happening, which he also stated in that conversation. So is engagement even directly with President Putin tells about the difference alone. And on china, the president and the administrations view is that we need to work with our allies. We need to work with our partners to align on how we will approach our relationship with china. We need to approach that relationship as strength. There are key components to that relationship, economic, strategic but we will work closely with our allies. Hes having us engage now and weve done a lot of call redoubts, of course, and partners on the hills, democrats and republicans on the hill. Go ahead. Reporter the republican plan that shows you up on the vaccine and you picked through significant differences. And daily at this point, but where is the states for bipartisan agreement . The differences are that significance against major components of what the president wants . Secretary psaki and iraq where agreement to work on is funding for Small Business. That is something of course democrats and republicans want to do. Our view is this bill itself is bipartisan, 74 of the public and democrats and towns across the country. There is an agreement that it is important to work with many republicans and democrats who fall on different parts of the political spectrum to put their ideas forward and consider them here that is part of the conversation and part of the process now on the hill. We will see. We will see. What proposals improve the bill to make it better. They are certainly is an open to that. Reporter several republican senators in the present in a different place than his step on this issue in particular and hes more willing to deal perhaps then his staff but is there daylight between the president and his staff . Secretary psaki absolutely not. Ive seen some of those reports. Many of them are ludicrous. Ive sat in a lot of meetings with the president of the United States and the last few weeks and even before then. There is no one who is going to tell him what to do or hold him back from his commitment to delivering relief to the American People. And i would point you to the fact that he talked about the importance of going big on a package back to the campaign. He talked about the importance of meeting this moment back to the campaign. So that is certainly his commitment and that is exactly what he is for. [inaudible] the prevention act, options on the table and you are working through it has been launched in a couple of areas. On vaccine supply, is the Defense Production Act utilized on that front and is there a timeline on the table right now bolstered with one of the issues you identified . Secretary psaki absolutely it is on the table. The reason the president invokes the Production Act is because he wanted a range of options for any moment where there was a reduction in supply on, you know, materials ppe, syringes and at the appropriate time, we can certainly use it for that. But right now, her focus is on working with pfizer and moderna and we have confidence in their ability to produce the number of vaccines that the government has ordered on the timeline that we have committed to. And so that means we would have enough vaccines here to be able to vaccinate every american by summer. Our focus is more on evaluating our team, evaluating needs for supplies and materials that would help deliver the vaccines in the arms of americans. Reporter you saw the president say earlier he is confident he can get republican support. Mitt romney was asked about that a little while ago, if you will not budge on the 1 trillion number, it is not going to happen. Can you give us a specific example of something that demonstrates the differences . He says 360 billion, is that something considered negotiable by the white house . Secretary psaki i would be interested because im i guess im asking you a question whether senator romney would provoke any funding for state and local. Of the most recent report the average american, it should perhaps be adjusted. Secretary psaki they are not proposing any so i would suggest given they also supported 160 or 180 billion in a package that moved forward on the Trump Administration, that is a place where we would certainly welcome and offer on there and in what state and local me support. Reporter what other Economic Relief related to the pandemic . There was a full page in the New York Times last week put there by prominent women calling on the Biden Administration, the Marshall Plan for mobs. Does the president , would he support the idea of Monthly Payments to mothers who are settled by this pandemic . Secretary psaki as a mom myself, i can confirm for you the most conversation on zoom calls is about the impact of the pandemic on working moms across the country. What the president has certainly been concerned about as we all are is the fact that this has a disproportionate impact on communities of color, women of color who are working jobs as frontline workers and vital roles in industries across the country. And it certainly is an issue that Secretary Yellen, the Economic Team are focused on and will be looking for ways to help. Reporter the president , he has contacted the families of the fbi agents in South Florida. Has he been able to do that . Secretary psaki we will follow up after the briefing. I didnt get a chance to asset before the briefing today. Reporter the terrorist organization from al qaeda, isis. Does the u. S. Plan to do the same . Secretary psaki i had seen that before we came out here. And i ask certainly our team to make sure we had a little bit of guidance on that for you. Of course, there is a review underway. The Domestic Violence extremism come i should say, reviewed by the National Security team to take a look at violence in this type of concerning Group Activity across the country. I expect we will wait for that review to conclude before we make any determinations. It is an ongoing review and concluded, im sure we will have more to say about our view. Go ahead. Reporter thank you again, the Top Republican on the armed Health Services is asking you to apologize for some of the comment you made yesterday in the Briefing Room about space force. Will you apologize . Secretary psaki i did send a tweet and you may not be on twitter. But with that said, we invite the members of space force to provide an update to all of you on all of the important work they are doing and certainly look to see updates from their team. Reporter big future here, does the space force have the full support of the Biden Administration or is the president at some point going to try to get rid of it or in some way diminish it . Secretary psaki we absolutely have the full support of the Biden Administration. And we are not revisiting the decision to establish the space force. The desire for greater resources on the growing Security Challenges in space have long been a bipartisan issue and independent commissions and studies conducted across multiple administrations. Thousands of men and women served in the space force as you know it was established by congress. Any other steps that would have to be taken by congress and not by the administration. Reporter this base budget, nasa, the trump era program to return astronauts to space. What is the president plan and what is he going to do with the program . Will he keep it intact . Secretary psaki i am personally interested in space and a fascinating area of study but let me see if we can get you a more informed overview of that. Reporter one more question, the president s comments last night paying to the dash he said by and large the vast majority of these men and women are decent, honorable people. What did he mean by that the vast majority . Secretary psaki that is exactly what he meant. Go ahead, kristin. President biden has been very clear that the American People to be unified in this country. How can he take steps to unify the country when this Impeachment Trial is going on . Secretary psaki he can focus his efforts, which is exactly what he is doing on delivering necessary relief to the American Public and using his forum to talk about how he is going to reopen schools, how he will get shots in the arms of americans, how he will ensure the one in seven American Families who are concerned they cant put food on the table can do exactly that. That is how he is spending his time as we started this briefing and how he will spend it moving forward. Reporter what is the message to republicans the trial itself undercuts any effort . Secretary psaki heaton invites republicans to work with him on bringing relief to the American Public pier that is why he invited them here, many of them here on monday and he will continue to engage with them. Reporter you talk about his agenda, President Biden has been speaking to the American People on a daily basis and obviously it will ship to the sin next week. How concerned is he the senate trial will undercut his momentum . Secretary psaki i think the president has been clear there is an urgency to delivering relief to the American People. And it is important and vital that the house and senate work quickly to get this bill passed. Reporter in the week . Secretary psaki im not giving a deadline but conveying what he said publicly many times and confident he has the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time. Reporter one more question, there is discussion on the hill about stripping Marjorie Taylor greene of her Secretary Psaki we resist speaking of her in this Briefing Room and im not going to do that today. Because its up to the hill to make that determination. Go ahead. Reporter President Biden has always got support from the unions and in fact, distributed a plan for organizing around the country. But there are thousands of workers at an amazon facility in alabama that are currently gearing to pass a vote and potentially form a union inside the company, which will be the first of its kind for amazon. Does the white house and President Biden support efforts to form a union . Secretary psaki as you noted, the president is a strong, long time believer and support of the efforts of labor unions and workers. I have not spoken with him or Economic Team about this particular nor have i seen it before i came out here. If there is more to provide you i will be happy to follow up. Reporter and a number of instructions on Secretary Yellen calling for a meeting of top financial regulators on gamestop. And we understand the meeting is likely to happen this week. Will the meeting be held on thursday . And will the focus really be on whether robin hood cheated Retail Investors on fairly large Institutional Investors . Secretary psaki i would send you to the Treasury Department of the timing of the meeting where the focus of the meaning for those who have not seen this report. Secretary yellen has called a meeting with the sec to believe that the integrity of markets are important and asked for a discussion of volatility. Financial markets and whether recent activities are consistent with Investor Protection and fair and efficient markets. That will be the focus of the meeting, but for more details i will send you to the treasury team, go ahead jennifer. Reporter were you able to figure out technically the Trump Administration . Secretary psaki i was. We cannot. That is under the purview of the national archives. So i certainly point you to there. And in terms of our plans to release the laws, we will do that on a quarterly basis just as obama Biden Administration did as well. Reporter Mitch Mcconnell critical today of giving generous funding to School Districts where the unions are not allowed the schools to open. Do you have a reaction to that . Secretary psaki i would say the purpose of getting funding or supporting funding and getting it to School Districts is to ensure students are safe, kids are safe, that there is a necessary ppe, necessary ventilation in the school, that there is the environment that allows for children to return safely. And that is the president s focus. That is why he also wants to reopen schools and not just wants them open but to stay open. As a mom, that is pivotal. But he knows it is essential that its done in a safe way. Reporter the union from the districts to reopen . Secretary psaki there is discussions as you well know between School Districts and elected officials and the unions. We certainly hope and encourage progress on that front, but the presence focus is on the schools reopening safely and staying open, go ahead. Reporter i have a question. So the georgia runoff john jen psaki, the Press Secretary. Lets bring in joe concha, senator Lindsey Graham, first of all, joe concha is with us. A couple of things stood out to me, joe, as well. She is joining Marsha Blackburn not wanting to weigh in on the Marjorie Taylor greene controversy but the space force, she certainly didnt apologize when members of congress on the republican side saying she should for seemingly dismissing the space force yesterday. Members of the military as well, john, asking for an apology on this. I think that is the most telling point of this press briefing. Remember the bloomberg reporter asked psaki about space force yesterday. Her response and the only word that came to mind when i was taking notes, condescending, wow, space force the plane of tomorrow. That is a branch of the military. So Kristin Fisher, White House Press im sorry White House Correspondent asked to apologize, she refused pointing to a tweet from yesterday, any members of spaceports welcome to come to the Briefing Room and update the American People how they are doing. That was pretty telling there, guys, guys. Sandra joe, she obviously, Kristin Fisher White House Correspondent have key interest with both parents being astronauts. It was interesting to see her dig further on that. We also heard further questioning on the back and forth that we are seeing with lawmakers, the green controversy she would not touch. She said jen psaki in that Briefing Room that she will not even say her name. Where does this story go next with so many lawmakers now speaking out on that and one senator that we just had here Marsha Blackburn wouldnt even comment or say where she stood on the issue. It is interesting. I guess we will have to see if shes pulled off any committees here that seems to be what democrats want, but then it thats a very dangerous precedent in terms of if the Majority Party can start to dictate who can serve and who Cannot Serve In Congress or at least different capacities. I saw Ari Fleischer put out an interesting tree earlier welcome if this is the Precedent Set regarding Marjorie Taylor greene, i believe the next time republicans controlled the house and that very well could help in 2022, then we have to flip a limited number of seats relatively, then Maxine Waters should also be dealt with because she incited violence or at least the argument that Ari Fleischer was saying her comments getting up into peoples faces who served in the Trump Administration and telling them they were not welcome. This would be a dangerous precedent but the white house does not want to touch this right now. They want to punt to congress as far as that is concerned. Speak to another moment that stuck out to me, joe, Kristin Fisher asked jen psaki, what did President Biden mean when he said the vast majority of the people at the fbi are good, decent people . He meant exactly that. What does that mean . That was a very curt answer. He means exactly that. Okay, well, guess that means the way we are supposed to interpret it now, what percentage of people are we talking, 80 good, decent people in the fbi Credit Domain . 90 , can he be more specific . Since she is Holding Press Conference daily briefings on a daily bay, there would be a follow up on this. It is interesting. My one take away from today, jen psaki echoed what anita dunn said over the weekend. And that is a biden advisor and served in the Obama Administration as well. Talking about bipartisan support in terms of redefining bipartisan means, here is what anita dunn said, even narrow congress, mr. Biden has the opportunity to build broad bipartisan support not necessarily in congress but with the American People. And then psaki cited a poll the American People supported mr. Bidens Covid Package. That appears to be bipartisanship not working with republicans in congress but if the pole next to is popular that is good enough for democrats to move through this case with reconciliation around covid19 relief. Sandra joe concha, thank you for sticking around with us in the briefing and joining us after come appreciate it. Good to see you. John the Fight For The Future of the g. O. P. Front and center of this happening. House republicans it to me in an hour this state of Marjorie Taylor greene and liz cheney. Lets bring in republican senator Lindsey Graham. Senator on Marjorie Taylor greene, at the Pentagon On 9 11 said the shootings in las vegas, and all prestaged. The Clintons Crash john f. Kennedys plane and the california wildfire cited by jewish lasers. I know you have spent some time with her. Where do you come down and decide whether she should be stripped of committees . Rather me talking about what she may have said i want to hear from her. Air force one had a pleasant experience with her, very cordial, very pleasant. So here is what i think she owes herself, quite frankly and her constituents in the country, is that true . Was she misquoted . Was she taken out of context . I want to know does she Still Believes sandy hook was fake and that 9 11 was an inside job. That there is a jewish Laser Starting Fires in california. I dont know. I know how words can be twisted. I know how you can be taken out of context. But rather than me talking about her, i would like for her to be definitive. Did you believe that van . If you have changed your mind, why . What do you believe now . And then i will comment. I will give her a chance to come out and say definitively what she believes about all these events. If she doesnt say anything, i think she is making a mistake herself, her constituents, and quite frankly, the congress. Sandra but then the onus is on your party because you have karl rove speaking out on this. He is saying she has a problem for our party. Could be. Sandra she beat stripped of house assignments. And use control of space. With all do respect, i dont care what karl rove thinks about what she said. I care about what she believes. And its not an unreasonable thing to ask what the Congressman Endowment congressman believes. Are these accurate or taken out of context . What do you believe today about sandy hook . About 9 11 . Sandra what we do about getting the answers . If she doesnt answer, she is doing herself a great disservice and i would assume the reason she is not answering is because it would be. I dont know. You know, is that too much to ask of her, quite frankly . If she believes that sandy hook was fake, then that would be incredibly disturbing because it wasnt. I was there during nine 9 11. Anybody who believes that it was an inside job and not an act of terrorism has lost their way. So if she actually believes this stuff, very severe consequences because she is out of touch with reality that may be, maybe she doesnt believe that. I want to bleed from her, thats what i want to hear from. John what about liz cheney . She is being talked about losing her Leadership Positions, number three in the Republican Caucus right now because she voted in favor of impeachment for the president. I remember a moment where stood up in the senate and said, i tried to help, but it is over but should she be punished for voting her conscious it was a vote of congress, and she needs to reconcile with the conference. I dont believe in the impeachment process because it was signed 50 hours without a lawyer and not one witness called. It is not exactly the model due process you want any president whether you like him or not. But with having said that, liz cheney is an invaluable member of the Republican Party. No, i dont want her to go anywhere. I think she should stay in leadership in my view because her voice is important for the Republican Party. She is one of the leading experts on National Security of the entire party. A role model for conservative women. She is conservative across the board. So i think liz cheney is a valuable member of the Republican Party. And i disagree with her impeachment. Sandra you, sir, heading to the Impeachment Trial for President Trump next week. I would ask you as your Party Continues to go down that road with the democrats going down that road and your party has to respond, what is the state of the Republican Party at this moment, senator . I think Republican Party will be very united around the idea that impeaching a president who lives in florida who is out of office is unconstitutional and the constitution says the Chief Justice will preside over impeachments involving the president. We dont have the Chief Justice and the senate, and Patrick Leahy tells you a lot and the founders intended when it came to president ial impeachment, not judges but the highest form of impeachment a president that it would be done by a neutral person, the Chief Justice of the United States. Nobody come i think ever impatient a post president ial impeachment. It will open a pandoras box for the presidency. I think there will be close to 47 or 48 votes for the idea that this is an unconstitutional exercise, but not enough to stop the case. Here is the question. If we fall short of 51 to dismiss the Impeachment Trial, What Happens Next . John let me ask you a specific part of President Trumps response. This is the one dealing with whether the president did try to interfere in the electoral count vote. The response, the president s attorney say it is denied that President Trump intended to interfere with the counting of electoral votes. Lets go back and play the sound from the morning of january 6th. Mike pence, i hope you will stand up for the good of our constitution and for the good of our country. And if you are not, im going to be very disappointed in you, i will tell you right now. John in your mind, senator, is that or is that not trying to interfere with the electoral count . Being disappointed when somebody is a crime, we are all in trouble. I think the idea that mike pence has the power to unilaterally change some electoral count is absurd. In the least conservative think i can think of where you would believe that a Single Person of a particular party could actually change the outcome of the electoral college. If that were true, al gore, mr. Great opportunity, so dont tell him that. He will be upset. Sandra senator noted. As you look at the amount of numbers of the Executive Action that the president has taken since then in office commit is safe to say dozens. We note 60 40 by now. You are taking on some of the changes that he is making particularly undoing some of the Trump Administration policies. You tweeted out that democrats should realize in spite of dislike for him that what President Trump did in securing the border and asylum laws work. Do you hear from any democrats who are acknowledging that and perhaps willing to push the new administration on that . I hear a lot of my democratic colleagues. I there are a handful that the changes that President Biden is making is going to lead to another wave of illegal immigration. When you do away date in mexico policy that trump was able to achieve where you have to wait in mexico for asylum date. You start tearing down the walls. When you go back to if you come here, claim asylum and you can stay. There will be a run on the border and the democrats won that. Here is what i think. These Executive Orders on energy and immigration will be the pathway back to the Republican Party in 2022. They took a program that was working. They chose to get rid of it, and they will play the political price. I will be all over this. I will go to the border in a couple of weeks. I want to hear from Border Patrol agents on the border itself to tell me if they think this is why. John senator let me ask you about covid relief because the president had a meeting wits including Chuck Schumer in the senate who said there is agreement, universal agreement we must go big and bold appear to be cannot delay, we cannot dilute. The president has said he thinks we can get republicans. What do you say . I say you need to try mr. President. You took the one area where there was unity. We have passed 4 trillion of spending in the last year with the average vote about 95 or 96. Its not like we cannot work on covid. What changed . The senate and the white house, they are destroying the one area that we had unity fighting covid. They wanted 1. 9 trillion package and we just passed 900 billion package around christmas. 20 of the money has been spent. Of the 4 trillion, 40 is not been spent. Who thinks 15 an hour Minimum Wage Increase will help business when they are being shut down in terms of Revenue Generation . So this is what we want you about. We told you that if they get the house, the senate, the white house, they will ignore us and run wild with their liberal ideas. And this Covid Package i think is running wild. John senator commit is always great to see you. We will see you a lot next week. Sandra come back and visit when you go to the border and report back, thanks, senator. House republicans meanwhile soon to discuss the future of liz cheney and Marjorie Taylor greene has we just just discussed. Republican congressman will be part of that meeting, and he joins us now. Im sure you were able to catch some of the conversation we had with your republican colleague in the senate there. What should we expect from this meeting that is about to happen . Well, look we will have a discussion and i dont want to get into the details what will happen in a conference or put republican Conference Meeting but i said many weeks ago there needs to be a vote of confidence, no confidence in the Conference Chair. You can have the leader, the spokesperson of your conference out talking whose job is to talk to the American People about the republican position taking a position on one of the biggest votes we ever had in the United States congress. That is against 96 of the conference that you are supposed to represent. That is a concern and i am sure we will hear about that some in the upcoming conference. John congressman, of course, people are saying one hand you have liz cheney and the other hand Marjorie Taylor greene. The Wall Street Editorial offers uptodate if the house g. O. P. Punishes liz cheney and nothing about Marjorie Taylor greene, a longer time in the wilderness. Jenny should get credit to stand alone despite the political risk. All things trump witnessed test for being loyal, the republican should get use to continued losses in the suburbs. So the idea is you cant let Marjorie Taylor greene say what she says and then sanction liz cheney at the same time. Where do you come down on that idea . Look, john, there are two different ideas. John of course they are. Speak with the main point is when you start having people in washington dictate what happens to members of congress and what committee they can serve and what they can do and not leave that decision to the voters in the district, to the American People, that is a dangerous road to head down particularly in this situation, it is the democrats who are saying we will kick this individual off of the committee that the republican leader and committee put her on. That is a scary place. So now, who is next . Are the democrats going to say any and all republican members . John but in the same breath, can you remove liz cheney . I know she wasnt elected that position. She was appointed. About Marjorie Taylor greene was appointed as well. Speak with that decision is for the republican conference and that will get made. So lets let the republican Conference Figure that out. Lets not any voyeur and Speaker Pelosi say oh, the voters in this district in georgia, they dont get to say . It will be decided by the washington . Sandra from your republican congressman, he said lets hear what she had to say on these issues now. Lets see where she stands on these issues now. If she has changed her position, she needs to explain why. If she says i still back all of those things that i said. If she said she Still Believes in those things, are you comfortable with her maintaining her position . You should ask Marjorie Taylor greene and have her on your show. Sandra we would be happy to. What i know is my dont think it is appropriate for democrats toeing the folks in georgia who gets to represent them and what committees they get to serve on and if you think that is okay, john we hear that argument, congressman but what about the g. O. P. Caucus . What does it plan to do about this on both sides, liz cheney Marjorie Taylor greene . What do you think should happen . John, we will find out in a few hours when we have a conference. We do that Behind Closed Doors and dont talk about that on the airway. All i am saying is the idea that we let democrats decide not the American People. John can we move off the democratic idea because we are interested in what your thoughts are and what the republicans might do in terms of dealing with these two issues, which really are causing a rift in the Republican Party. John, you cant move off of what the democrats are going to do because they are bringing the resolution to the floor tomorrow. Sandra so many members of your own party taking issue here. Lets take a quick break and listen to karl rove on this very issue and we will get your response, congressman. If you believe the Control Space Laser that starts fires in Northern California and that they are unnamed highranking Government Official whose gut here for unknown Security Classification and all the 90 things that go with that, you should be taken off of the prestigious house education and Labor Committee and complained to the Dark Recesses of the earth are going away from the house floor. And let the Voters Decide in the next election. She is a problem for our party. Sandra congressman, your response. No one is condoning the remarks she has made. Ive not heard any republican say that is appropriate. That is not the issue. The issue is once this starts, tell me where it ends, sandra . Who is next . The cancel culture, january 13th on the house floor during debate i told the republicans if you go down this road attacking people with freespeech rights, where does it end . It will not stop with republicans but will go to all of us. 13 days later, what happened in california . Dianne Feinstein Elementary School name was taken off. So this will never end. If we dont stop it now, every single american is at risk. That concerns me. The idea that we will let this happen just because we all disagree with what was said. That is not the point. It will never end. If this goes forward, that is one more blow to the first amendment. That should scare every single american. This is wrong and you know what is wrong and the whole country knows it is wrong. That is why we should not stand for it. John at the same time congressman jordan a number of republicans singing at the democratic side ilhan omar should lose her assignments because of things she has said. Welcome of the double standard, look, the thing that bothers americans more than anything else, john, they were all kinds of things they had about the town. They hate when we spend money on stupid things. They hate all that but what they hate is the double standard. You have a member of congress on the democratic side say last number there needs to be more unrest in the street while there was unrest in the streets. Somehow john but so should she lose her job . No, actually believe in the first amendment. I think what she said was crazy when she says we need more unrest in the streets while unrest in the streets. I think that is wrong, harmful, but you know what we have a first amendment. What i dont want is people canceling everyone else. That is the most dangerous thing happening in our country today. Right now, joe biden said during an Operation Speech he wants to unify. Well Tough To Unify Impeaching A president who has already left office. Tough to unify when canceling 75 Million People who voted for that guy. That is what is tough to do. I hope we can get past this and get back to embracing the bill of rights, the first amendment, the constitution come i hope we can buy based on where the democrats are going i dont know if we can get there. Sandra can you go on the record with a conspiracy that she was touting and supporting and where you stand on that . I think it is important for people to hear that. Not for a committee assignment. Of course, no one supports i get those statements. No one condones those statements, but guess what, she stood for election and the folks in georgia and her district elected her with 75 of the vote. So the real question is, for the folks in georgia i guess is they elected Marjorie Taylor greene to come up and fight for them. That is between her and her voters, which is the way its supposed to be. And the Constitutional Republic where we have a democracy, that is how it is supposed to work. John one last question congressman do you believe liz cheney should retain her position in leadership . I have said all along we need a new vote and let the conference decide. I hope that is where we get to. I hope we have a new vote and we will see what happens, that is a conference decision. Sandra i appreciate your time. Thank you.

This comes as the administration is dialing back and getting kids back in the classroom. And also as parents are pushing back against Teachers Union, looking to keep classes remote in some cities. Michael emanuel on capitol hill with this. Mike how did the Education Secretary nominee handle these questions about reopening the schools . Sandra, good afternoon and the Department Of Education told law makers he gets it as an educator, administrator and as a father. These last ten months ive been able to listen to parents, students, educators, and we all want to make sure we can get our students back in school safely. Some of the strategies that we took in connecticut that were very clear work to make sure that we relied very closely on science. John some schools have reopened but children wearing a mask and social distancing, others have suggested the schools need more money for in Person Learning. Today the Senate Republican leader captain of the frustration, many parents are feeling. Science is not the obstacle. Federal money is not the optical. The obstacle is lack of willpower. John many parents worry about the potential damage done to their children by not being in the classroom for at least a full year. Instead, fearing Computer Screens by themselves. Today the superintendent of boston Catholic Schools expressed this concern. Children being kept out of school and are being kept from their friends or being kept from their teachers, and simply not getting the same quality of education they would get it back in school buildings. John the Biden Administration set a goal of returning in the first 100 days but many unions are resisting and so far, there is not much movement, sandra. Sandra mike emanuel on that story for us on the hill, thank you, john. John sandra lets bring in Fox News Contributor film a garden, we want to get to your call from yesterday how Catholic Schools able to get kids back in school when others are not but first of all news of the deus Miguel Cardona President Bidens nominee to run the Department Of Education is having his confirmation hills on capitol hill. It seems that the biden goal to get schools kids back in school at 100 days is wobbling a little bit. Right, and fairness to President Biden, you know the schools are controlled locally. It is not really the federal government. The federal government can do things as it has tried to do with resources for covid and so forth, but look, the science is very clear here. The Teachers Unions are in charge of the big city School Districts and a lot of them dont want to open. You know, the cdc is now saying it is safer schools to reopen. They can do it. Dr. Fauci says this. All of these people that love the science when it comes to closing. They are not so thrilled with the science when it comes to reopening. John on the subject the centers for disease control, you have the big Teachers Unions saying, we will not go back to the classroom until all of the teachers have been vaccinated. Here is what the cdc director said about that a little while ago. So while we are implementing the criteria of the Advisory Committee and of the state and local guidance to get vaccination across and eligible to the communities come i would say safely opening our schools, the vaccination of teachers is not safe for reopening schools. John vaccination of teachers is not criteria for safe reopening of school so why do they continue to insist on it . Well, look they have their priorities. Look, the Science Discussion can be abstract. We dont know who is right in this, but we do know because the Catholic Schools wherever they are allowed to have largely stayed open. People are pointing that out in chicago, new york, and they managed to stay open and keep covid at bay. My own daughter is in a catholic high school. They have taken steps. It doesnt mean you throw your doors open. You take a lot of precaution. They send somebody home if someone has come down ill , but it can be done. Its been done all around the country. It is just not being done by the Teachers Union. They dont want it and they dont put the interest of the students first. John again, full disclosure of her 9yearold twins in Catholic School and in Person Learning since august 26th of last year. All of our a couple of our neighbors had their kids in school too. We had them in Public School and put them over in Private School the other parents say, wait a minute why cant the local Catholic School when Fairfax County schools remain shut . Right. It is a private institution, for one. So you know, i hope they are able to open a make their own decisions. Look, parents are making their decision to put the children in the schools. Right now, it looks like a pretty sound that we are the ones who have been there since the beginning of the year are getting an education. They are not suffering and falling back the way some of their counterparts who have been kept out of school our spirits of again come i think there is a big, glaring example that no one wants to point to. Let me add, they do it with far fewer resources than the Public Schools are doing it with. John no question about that bill mcgurn, always good to see you and obviously something we will keep our eye on. Thank you for joining us, sandra. Sandra thank you, john. Democrats want to go big on stimulus, but some brandnew numbers reveal that most of that money wont go back into the u. S. Economy. So what is really needed for the American People . Our panel will debateim next introducing refiplus from newday usa. It lets you refi at alltime low rates plus you could take out 50,000 or more. Money for security today, money for retirement tomorrow. Refiplus. Its only for veterans and its only from newday usa. Sandra President Biden said republicans plan to spend dominics and a check to covid relief deal is too small. He is putting 41,400 hoping to boost the economy. A new study shows 73 of households would put that money toward savings, not spending. Lets bring in the panel, sean duffy and i have been fascinated by some of the numbers that we have been able to dig up on how some of the stimulus funds have been spent and not spent in many cases, sean. So how do you make sure that this is really getting to people who needed to put food on the table and to help the struggling families . You have to target more legislation. You put a man on the moon and help people who are in need. David portnoy, 33 million, had americans giving him money because he is focusing on people who actually are in need, whether Restaurant Owners or own a laundry mat, helping people who had an impact from covid appearance of again come i think we have to target the way our legislatures impact the policies and by the way 1400 check, sandra, i have 1100 wisconsin workers working on Keystone Pipeline lost their job making 100,000 plus a year. In 1400 check is a slap in the face when joe biden crushed their jobs and drains and that pipeline. Sandra a lot of people say Restaurant Owners in this program, we dont want Stimulus Checks but we want to be open. We want to be able to work and earn the money ourselves. That is a problem. But when you look at democrats calling for to go bigger, right come up with this plan, shouldnt we find out exactly who needs these checks and make sure the right amount gets to them before we hand out thousands and thousands of dollars . Welcome it is a little bit rich coming from republicans and concern about spending when we know President Trump added 7. 8 trillion to the national debt. That is the background to this. Republicans spend when they are in charge and they act when in charge. A lot of republicans promised americans twodollar checks. The 1400 isnt enough. There are a couple of statistics from Federal Reserve data that i think are important here. First of all, if its of adult americans dont have enough to cover their utilities every single month. And only 40 of americans have enough to last three months. Sandra i got it. What is the Biden Administration doing, what is the administration doing . We dont hear that in the white house briefings. What are they doing to target those people that you are talking about that needed the most . Sean, the story this week in many cases has been some of these people who are getting it dont actually need it. They are trading with the in the stock market. Some are putting in their savings account and they can do what they want with it of course, but that is happening, sean. I want to get jen psaki on the economy, listen. Rico i talked to our Economic Team about it and frankly, the majority of studies on this plan including independent analysis from the wall street moodys, jpmorgan entries and the Brookings Institute and the analysis the economy is near capacity which would be news to millions of americans out of work or facing reduced hours and reduced paychecks. Sandra that analysis she was citing is not wrong. We actually do have a robust economy right now. There are some struggling americans that do need help though, sean. But it is going great for some and not for others. And jessica and i agree that we want to help people who actually need it. My mom and dad are pretty well off got a stimulus check and rachel got a stimulus check. They dont need it. They werent impacted from covid. But there are people that have been so lets give a little more money to help them out and not give it to everybody. This is a basic redistribution policy from democrats to a family that makes 100,000 a year. Give them all a check, no, lets spend money wisely and carefully and give it to those who lost and comes in need the cash. Sandra jessica. I would argue that everyone right now needs the cash for their own families or they would like to support and they will take that money and put it towards food bank. They will donate it to causes that improve the quality of Many Americans as possible. This has always been the argument about entitlement. By the way, Social Security if they have too much money. Americans are hurting. If you listen to West Virginia governor jim justice who is no liberal, yesterday stating, past the covid relief. Today, get us out of this crisis. We have not seen. Sandra raising the federal minimum wage, krogers having to shut down two California Stores because of the minimum wage hike there. So rather than people getting money, they dont have a job, jessica. That is the reality in some places when you do that. We will have you back. Thank you for joining us. Thank you, sandra. John sandra, coming up next the Attorney General of arizona pushing back against President Bidens move on immigration. He will tell us what policy he is going to court to have dropped and what he plans to do about it coming up next. E Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Uhhh. Yes. Huh. What happens in this one . Seagulls. Oh, i like it. How are you doing . seagulls sounds only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Is that net carbs or total .

Stay away from any downed wire, call 911, and call pg e right after so we can both respond out and keep the public safe. John a fox news alert now. In the last few minutes, arizonas Attorney General filing suit in federal court to 100day deportations. What is the basis of the suit . Well, frankly its as simple as this. One, we have an agreement with Homeland Security to consult with us before doing anything that may lead to the release of people that dont have legal status in our state. Two, theyre doing this and creating a potential danger here in arizona is contrary to federal law. Federal law says they shall remove these individuals. By pausing this, youre having the potential for people that have been accused of crimes, charged with crimes, people that havent been tested for covid19 are just being released into our commun communities. John so lets go into this detail of the memorandum of understanding. It went into effect january 8 and requires dhs to among other things dhs is also obligated to provide 180 days written notice. You alluded to that. Consider Arizona Attorney generals offices input and provide a detailed written explanation of the reasoning. So you sent a letter to the biden dhs saying hey, we have this memorandum of understanding. We expect you to honor it and honor your obligations. What did they tell you . You know, its funny, john. Theres a lot of talk about unity and the way we communicate. But the Biden Administration and their department of Homeland Security essentially said pound sand. We dont need to talk to you and we dont recognize this mou. This is problematic. At a minimum, i talked to the sheriffs at the border and our officials. This has a great impact on them. Theres legitimate concerns about someone thats been convicted or accused of a crime being released in our community. Theres legitimate concerns that people are being released that havent been tested for covid19 or that are covid19. Arizona is one of the hotspots of the entire world on covid19. Cant we get some coordination with our Law Enforcement agencies, health officials, the Attorney Generals office. I dont think its too much to ask. John you also requested that dhs tell you how many detainees had been released since january 22 and the locations they were released from. Did they tell you that or pound sand again . Pound sand, which is problematic. We as Law Enforcement, whether its the border sheriffs or the healthcare officials, we need to know who is being released, maybe what crimes theyre charged with and if theyre covid positive or not. The reality, its not only about the lack of communication or notice. Federal law is clear. It says these individuals shall be processed for deportation. So what you have is the Biden Administration basically flaunting the law via an executive order. Think about this, folks. Its not about immigration. This is ant the rule of law. If they can unilaterally say we dont have to follow federal law, we dont have to follow the federal statutes, they can continue to do that. Thats why its so important for us to stand up. John certainly President Biden doesnt have qualms about reversing President Trumps policies. Heres what he said about it. With the first action of the day, were going to work to undo the morale and National Shame that ripped children from the arms of their families and mothers and fathers at the border and with no plan to reunify the children who are still in custody and their parent. What is your take on the president S Immigration policy . What words would you use to describe it . Developing, incoherent at times. I understand, john, immigration is difficult issue. Im a first generation american. I understand how tough this issue is. But you do not begin the process, you dont try to change the system unilaterally and you dont change the system by telling states like arizona pound sand and if we want to release criminals or folks covid positive in your communities, theres nothing you can do about it. Thats not right. Maybe thats the way they do things in washington but not the way we do it here in arizona. John its not the way they do things in texas either. Ken paxton managed to get a 14day restraining order. Well see what comes out of this. Thanks, mark. Sandra . Sandra okay. Thank you. The cdc is out with new guidelines for those that are going to the super bowl or watch parties. Obvious ones like wearing a mask and social distancing, of course. What you might find unusual is this. Limit how much alcohol you drink and avoid sharing. The cdc says to bring a noise maker instead or stomp your feet and clap your hands. They say dont go to the rest room during busy times like halftime or the end of the game and minimize your time in bars or restaurants. Okay. The cdc guidelines for the super bowl. Got it, john . John got it. Especially the limit alcohol consumption. That will happen. Sandra exactly. So yeah, bring your blow horns to your living room. Thats the recommendation. Be safe. John all right. How about this one . No, bring a bighorn. Nikes newest creation, the go fly e sneaker lets you slide them on hands off. Features a hinge in the sole you can secure the shoe. Nike created the sneaker after a teen with Cerebral Palsy wrote to the company to ask for shoes he could put on himself. Its like iron mans suit. Remember that . The suit wraps around the man . Sandra its awesome. You know im a big runner. I also run in laceless shoes. I love the ones you slip on like a sock. Sign me up. Ill take it. John here. Our daily shoe report. Heres the shoes today that have these elastic laces. I can kind of slip them on. Sandra they have quite a following for people that wear them. John the reason i got sneakers on, i had an operation on my toe in december. I cannot wear leather shoes yet. The joint is swollen. The size 12 Running Shoes are nice. Theyre soft. Dont have to lace them up. Great. In a pinch. Sandra im going for a run after the show, john. John there you go. Thanks for injoing us on this edition of america reports. Im john roberts in washington. Sandra and im sandra smith in new york. The story starts now. Martha thanks, john and sandra. Im martha maccallum. This is the story. So where does. Biden stand . With the students or with the Teachers Union . Thats the question right now. Michael bloomberg who had his own white house aspirations laid it on the line for him today. Watch this. The president has to stand up to the unions. The Teachers Union . Yes, the Teachers Unions. You know, they say i dont want to go back because its dangerous. We have a lot of federal employees that run risks. Martha its clear that two top biden advisers
