too big, too small or just the right size? i ll talk to two of the world s foremost economists, larry summers and paul krugman. then, what is the quad? president biden met with the leader of japan, india and australia, a new block focused on deterring china. will it work? i ll talk to an expert. and the biotech revolution brought us to the covid 19 vaccines more swiftly than anyone imagined possible. it is given us the ability to edit genes to cure diseases and the innovations on the horizon are even more extraordinary. i will ask walter isaacson to describe what is next. but first, here is my take. within hours of being inaugurated, president biden began to roll back donald trump s most egregious immigration policies including the so-called muslim ban which biden called a stain on our national conscience. he signed six actions geared toward a more humane and generous policy and outlined a proposal for comprehensive immigration reform including a path to citizenship for mor
since taking office 51 days ago. and cnn just learning the president will direct all states to open vaccine eligibility to all adults by may first and that he would like to see some signs of normalcy like small gatherings by july 4th. this comes just hours after biden signed a landmark piece of legislation, a $1.9 trillion covid relief bill. i believe this is and most people i think do as well, this historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving people in this nation, working people, middle class folks, people who built the country a fighting chance. biden is seizing the moment. according to cnn s new poll, 77% of americans now believe the worst is behind us. that is up nearly 30% over just the past two months. there is an undeniable sense of hope across this country after a year that the cdc says was almost certainly the deadliest year on record for the u.s.. the deadliest year on record. and tonight does mark one year to the day that th
we had already signed up 70,000 vaccine sites. let me remind you on january 20th, 1.5 million shots were in arms on that day. that had nothing to do with the biden administration. i think the biden administration are doing some good things in underserved communities and carrying the bat onwell. i think the roll-out was really about as well as it could be. miraculous given the short time. i think we ll look back on that and history will prove that to be correct. bill: thank you for your time and the job you ve done. dana: when you hear that fourth of july messaging small gathers maybe outside. even people as careful as you can be have been following their own monitor, i think, on what makes sense. you could be in the backyard, you can have a lot of space around you. i just keep feeling like the message that comes out is giving us the hold, hold, hold. brave heart, hold on. don t get excited or freak out yet. i understand you want to be cautious but it feels li
by may 1st, less than two months from now, he s directing all states and territories to make all adults eligible for the vaccine. you ll also want to mark july 4th on your calendar. biden is expected to announce americans should be able to gather in small groups by then. two dates to look forward to as today marks one year since the world health organization officially declared the coronavirus to be a pandemic. it s a sobering milestone with more than half a million american lives lost between that declaration and tonight. even with biden s hopeful announcement, tonight is one of those occasions when it is important to step back and remember how we got here. starting one year ago today, march 11th, o 2020, when the world stood still. just moments ago on capitol hill government health officials testified on the government s response to coronavirus and this statement from one of the nation s top medical experts was not reassuring. we will see more cases and things will get
