Pandemic. The Biden Administration is deploying 1,110 active duty service members, including teams from army, air force, navy, and marines to support five fema covid19 Vaccination Centers across the country. The first team set to arrive in california in ten days. The Biden White House also says it will soon utilize Defense Production Act in several ways to procure equipment and supplies for pfizer to make additional vaccine, to tap Six Companies to make 61 million at home covid19 tests by end of summer, and built factories to produce Raw Materials needed for nitrile surgical gloves. A billion pairs a month. All of that means jobs. All of that should have been done a year ago. The Biden Administration also isnt ruling out using Defense Production Act to aid in production of Johnson Johnsons one shot vaccine which is currently awaiting Emergency Use Authorization from the fda. That should come any day now. The federal government is set to ship 10. 5 million vaccine doses a week for the n
One of the windows of the capitol. She was also accused of using a bull horn to direct rioters. This all comes as were days away from the start of trumps second Impeachment Trial. One person we wont be seeing or hearing from, however, is donald trump himself. His defense team confirming trump wont testify. A new reaction this morning from congressman ruben gallegos. Well, this is more a typical trump move. This is not about defending his presidency, its not about defending his actions, its about, again, dividing america. Its a very cynical move because he believes and he understands the Republican Senate is not going to hold him accountable. Theres a lot of new information to run through with the trio of nbc reporters and we will begin with nbcs mike memoli, joining us from wilmington, delaware, where President Biden is spending his weekend. Mike, welcome to you. In the past few minutes were learning more from the white house on the former president and intel briefings. What do you kno
Good day from msnbc World Headquarters in new york. Welcome, everyone, to weekends with alex witt. Developing this hour, President Bidens 1. 9 trillion plan is one step closer to becoming a reality. In a new excerpt from cbs news, the president giving a new insight into where key provisions like Minimum Wage Hike Stand as lawmakers work to get the bill to his desk. Its somewhere between an individual making up to 75 and phasing out and a couple making up to 150 and phasing out. But im wide open on what that is. You also want to raise the minimum wage to 15. Is that something you would be willing to negotiate on to get republican support . Apparently thats not going to occur because of the roles in the senate. Youre saying it will not be in it . My guess is it will not be in it. Today marks one month since the attack on the u. S. Capitol left five people dead. The Impeachment Trial will start just days from now. Trumps defense team confirming he will not testify under oath. Congressman
The biden American Rescue plan. The next will be recovery. We call it reconciliation. Theres nothing in reconciliation that precludes republicans from voting for it. Good morn, everybody. Im tiffany cross, and we have a lot of news to get to this morning on Cross Connection, so strap in. President bidens 1. 9 trillion rescue plan is on a fast track to approval after the house and Senate Passed a Budge Bill Yesterday and democrats pretty much tossed the deuces to the republicans warning they maybepass them altogether. Its good news for struggling americans who cant even afford to put gas in the car or go to a job they no longer have. Meanwhile capitol hill is preparing for Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial to kick off on tuesday. And at least as of this morning, it looks unlikely that a minimum of 17 republicans will vote with the dems to convict trump. Now, the irony doesnt even seem lost on them that as they make these bow was calls for unity, theyre increasingly unwilling to hol
Good day to all of you from msnbc World Headquarters here in new york. Welcome to weekends with alex witt. We begin with President Biden saying donald trump should not receive Intelligence Briefings. In a new interview with cbs, biden breaking with tradition, saying trump has no need for those intel briefings now that hes out of office. Should former President Trump still receive Intelligence Briefings . I think not. Why not . Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection. I just think that theres no need for him to have that Intelligence Briefing. What value is giving him an Intelligence Briefing . What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and Say Something . Also in that interview, the president says he will not budge on the 1,400 stimulus checks but maybe taking a more targeted approach on exactly who will receive those checks. I will talk with Congressman Ro about covid relief in just a moment. Today marks one month since the attack of capit
