history last night at the grammy awards . we begin with a new push from the white house to raise awareness for its recently passed covid relief package. president joe biden and others will be crossing the country starting today as a help is here tour. supportive voices are already outlining its benefits as part of the messaging blitz. the fact is, it s strongly bipartisan across the country. it s only in the congress of the united states where the republicans refused to meet the needs of the american people where they didn t vote, as i said, voted no and take the dow. you can be sure all their states and communities will be benefitting from this and they won t be complaining about it back home. and the treasury secretary is trying to calm concerns that it could lead to major inflation. the most significant risk we face is the work force scorned by a long period of unemployment. people being out of work and not able to find jobs can have a permanent effect on their wel
you probably were sleeping. we ll give you the highlights. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is early start. it s monday, march 15th. 5:00 a.m. here in new york. we re so close we can taste freedom and yet so far. one in five americans have received at least one dose of a covid vaccine. since friday, the u.s. has hit three of the largest single day jumps in vaccinations. scenes like this can set us back. this is miami beach. a lot of people out there but few masks. spring break could trigger a surge in cases and saint patrick s day is also worrying. we ve got too many people coming. we ve got too many people coming who are just acting out and we have covid at the same time. and people are flying again. air travel hit a new pandemic era record. new tsa figures show more than 1.3 million people were screened on friday. the highest number in a year. duke university under grads are in a stay in place orders. more than 80 students are in
