increases across the country change and new data emerge. we're also keeping a close eye on capitol hill where the house is debating, you see kevin mccarthy there, get ready to hold a historic vote on president biden's $1.9 trillion covid relief package, a monumental piece of legislation that offers aid to almost every part of life right now. $1400 checks to individuals, unemployment boost, child tax credit, funding for schools. joining me now for the state of play on where things stand there, manu raju is on the hill joining us from the white house and director david chalian is joining us as well. manu, walk us through what is about to happen in the house. >> we do expect final passage to occur late in the 12:00 hour in the east, 12:45 or so is when we expect that vote to begin. republicans have tried to delay, specifically one republican, marjorie taylor greene tried to delay the vote by forcing a motion to adjourn the house. that was rejected. a lot of republican colleagues don't like that tactic, either. nevertheless, they can delay it but they can't delay the inevitable. it will pass this afternoon, expected almost strictly along party lines. democratic leaders are confident they will hold their members. in fact, nancy pelosi believes it can do better on the democratic side than it did the first time the bill passed. at that time there were two democrats who voted against it, but one of those democrats has indicated he intends to vote for it. the other democrat, jared golden of maine, has not said yet. we reached out to his office as to whether he will continue to oppose this bill. republicans have opposition to this plan. it's unwieldy, it's too much spending, and that's the argument even though polls show a majority of members do support this relief package. nevertheless, each side is making its own calculation. democrats are confident this will get done, but they need to get it implemented, sell to voters that it's needed and hope the economy turns around. a lot of questions about the ultimate impact of this bill but no question about the outcome which is going to be a final passage in just a couple hours, kate. >> we'll stick close to manu as debate on the house floor continues. as we keep a look at the house floor, when is biden going to sign this into law, and how soon can americans plan to get these checks? >> not clear when the bill will be signed. it takes a little time to do paperwork on a bill this massive, so we're not sure. president biden will give that address on thursday evening. as he travels across the country to sell this package to the american people, so he may sign it on the road. that's still tbd. as far as checks to the american people, people who have the irs direct deposit relationships with them should get them in a week or two. it will take a little longer for people who have to get physical checks or debit cards from the government, but we expect in the next two weeks for this to go out. not all of them will go out me immediately, but americans should see this pretty quickly. that's all part of the biden team's expectation and capitalicapk speculation as they try to sell this bill. >> and, david chalian, part of it is how calculated the vote will be on capitol hill. a new cnn poll looking into how much and where the support for this massive bill is coming from. what story do the numbers tell you? >> it is a broadly popular bill, kate. our cnn poll shows 61% of americans approve of this bill. if you look at it, you see there are only 37% who are opposed, look at it by party -- >> darn, david, i have to interrupt because i have to head over to the white house right now. the white house coronavirus response team beginning their briefing right now. >> double the number going out every week before we came into office. this presents an opportunity for everyone to increase your vaccinations even as that supply and supply of johnson & johnson vaccine ramp up even further. the country must quickly work through this additional supply. today president biden will direct jeff and the health and human services team to procure an additional 100 million doses of the johnson & johnson vaccine. this order allows for the president to plan for the future in the latter part of the year. this is wartime, and as facts still emerge, it gives us maximum flexibility for our upcoming needs. so to review some of our progress from the vaccination program over the first 49 days, we've increased vaccine supply. the president has ordered enough vaccine doses for every adult in the u.s. we've more than doubled the amount of vaccines going to states. we've improved the efficiency of the vaccination process. when we arrived, less than half of vaccines distributed to states were administered. today that number is approximately 75%. we worked with the vaccine manufacturers to speed up their delivery to may 31st. as you'll hear about later today, we led a historical partnership between two rival drug companies to scale manufacturing and speed delivery. we served the number of vaccinators. the president has funded personnel as well as members of the national guard to serve as vaccinators, with more to come. eve employed doctors and nurses to give shots. we've mobilized 2,000 military men and women to support community vaccination sites. we've also dramatically increased the number of places to get vaccinated. we provided federal support for over 500 community vaccination centers. we launched a program to directly send vaccines to more than 5,000 local pharmacies. we've opened or are ramping up 20 high-volume federally run sites that will be able to deliver 70,000 shots a week in some of america's most disadvantaged neighborhoods. 16 sites are operational now. those sites have already delivered more than 500,000 shots. we're ramping up a program that directly sends vaccines to more than 1,300 community health centers to retirement communities. we're launching mobile sites to help vaccinate the hardest to reach communities. this is leading to results for the american people most importantly. more than 91 million americans have received a shot. at least one dose, 61 million americans, fully vaccinated, 32 million americans. americans leads the world in total vaccinations. on january 20th, there was a seven-day average of 900,000 shots a day, and now we're at 2 million shots a day. on saturday we set an all-time record. nearly 3 million americans vaccinated, a pace seen nowhere else in the world. in terms of protecting the most vulnerable, our core duty as a nation. when we came into office, 8% of people over 65 were vaccinated. today 60% are vaccinated. and according to the cdc's new guidance, vaccinated parents can now visit and hug their grandchildren, and in most circumstances, without wearing a mask. this is an accomplishment every american going through the difficult process of waiting for the vaccine can take pride in. as more people get vaccinated, more people will become eligible. yesterday alaska became the first state to make vaccines available to all people over the age of 16. there are many steps left in the path, but we are making progress. with that, i will turn it over to dr. walensky. >> thank you, andy, it's a pleasure to be back with you today. let's take a look at the current state of the pandemic. cdc's most recent data indicate that the recent plateau of cases may be again starting to trend downward with 6,000 cases per day. we also see decreases in hospital admissions for the most recent week. an average of 3500 patients with covid-19 were admitted in the recent week. as we've seen deaths hovering around 2,000 deaths a day in recent weeks, the latest 7-day average is now down to 1600 deaths per day. earlier this week we saw the number of deaths per day drop below 1,000 for the first time since november. all of this is really good news. and while these trends are starting to head in the right direction, the number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths, still remain too high and are somber reminders that we must remain vigilant as we work to scale up our vaccination efforts across this country. we must continue to use proven prevention measures to slow the spread of covid-19. they are getting us closer to the end of this pandemic. as i discussed on monday, cdc released initial guidance on activities fully vaccinated people can resume safely while limiting risks to themselves and others. to help get this information out to the community and to the public, today the journal of the american medical association published a scientific commentary from cdc. in the commentary, we again summarized the new recommendations from cdc that fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people in small gatherings without wearing masks or physical distancing. that fully vaccinated people can also visit with unvaccinated people from one other household without wearing masks or distancing as long as no member of the unvaccinated household is at high risk of severe illness from covid-19. and that fully vaccinated people do not need to quarantine or get tested following contact with someone who has covid-19 as long as the fully vaccinated person is asymptomatic. we also reiterate that in other scenarios, including public settings and travel, people who have been fully vaccinated should continue to wear masks and practice safe public health precautions just like people who have not yet been vaccinated. in addition, the commentary include information about the scientific basis for cdc's new recommendations that balance the risk of fully vaccinated individuals with the risk of infection and spread among the still 90% of the american public not yet protected by a covid-19 vaccine. the commentary also describes the outstanding scientific questions we are working to answer to inform future guidance and get people back to their everyday activities. key among them are questions about the risk of vaccinated people transmitting the virus to others if they have a vaccine breakthrough and become infected. how long protection from vaccine lasts and how well the vaccines work against the circulating virus variants. while we are starting to see emerging evidence that the vaccines remain effective through circulating variants and that the risk of breakthrough infections in vaccinating persons and spreading the virus to others is low, we must be resolute to fully answer these critical questions. when answered, they will inform the future guidance that will enable us to safely resume activities while also protecting others who remain vulnerable to this disease. we are working across the government and with many scientific partners to answer these questions as quickly as we can. and i'm committed to updating our guidance as new scientific information becomes available and, importantly, as more people get vaccinated. i want to close by reiterating that our actions this week represent a first step, not our final destination. we are at a critical point in this pandemic and on the cusp of having enough vaccine to protect every adult in the united states. we ask for your patience in practicing proven prevention measures for just a little longer. we ask for your participation by rolling up your sleeve when it's your turn to be vaccinated, and we ask for your leadership in helping others do both of the same. with the above actions, we are so very close. we can turn the tide on this pandemic. thank you. i look forward to your questions and i'll turn things over to dr. fauci. >> thank you very much, dr. walensky. what i would like to do over the next couple of minutes is talk a bit about what we refer to as special populations. so if i can have the first slide, many of you are very familiar with this slide. it is a slide of the phased vaccine distribution that has been put out by the cdc. if you look at these from the phase 1a, b, c and 2, what is not specifically mentioned here are pregnant women and pediatric individuals, namely people from age 6 months to 16 to 18. on 1c we refer to that as persons with high -risk conditions. if i could have the next slide, please. first of all, what do we mean by special populations? there were about 3.7 million births in 2019. that's a very important topic when we think in terms of schools and the protection of children. there are about 73 million individuals between the ages of birth and 18 years, and then, importantly, there are immunocompromised individuals, those who have immunosuppressive medical conditions, primary immunodeficiencies or required im immunodeficiencies such as hiv, or receiving immunosuppressive treatment or chemotherapy that could be due to to an autoimmune disease. it's estimated around 3% of u.s. adults fall within that category. next slide. so what are some of the questions that we ask of these special populations? the obvious ones are, what is the safety profile of vaccines in these populations? as i mentioned on a previous presentation, it is unlikely that we will require a full efficacy study involving tens of thousands of individual volunteers. what we almost certainly will do is determine safety to determine if special populations, either pregnant women or other indicators, make a proper immune response that we know is actually associated with a high degree of protection that we're seeing in our vaccines. next is, what is the duration of the immune response to vaccination in certain special populations? take, for example, individuals who have immunodepression, either by a disease or by a drug. we may show that the level of immune response is good, that the durability of that might be different because of the compromise of the immune system in these individuals. and then we want to know what is the efficacy of vaccination on reducing disease and transmission in certain special populations? there may be a difference between them and individuals in what we refer to as the normal adult population. next slide. so let's take a quick look at the pregnant individuals. the american college of obstetrics and gynecology refuse that vaccines of sars-cov-2 should not be withheld from pregnant individuals. pregnant individuals may choose to receive a covid-19 vaccine and they should have a conversation with their clinicians to help them decide. since the eua, several thousand pregnant individuals have gotten vaccinated, and they were told to follow the outcomes of vaccinated pregnant individuals. specifically in one case, pfizer biontech has launched a randomized placebo control study to do just what i said a moment ago, to evaluate safety and immunogenicity in pregnant individuals. also what i mentioned in a previous briefing when we discussed j&j, the vector has significant experience with ebola in africa in individuals who are pregnant and/or lactating. on the final slide -- excuse me, not yet final -- adolescents and children. the current age to be vaccinated is 18 for pfizer and moderna and 18 for j&j. there are studies in adolescents and children that are either ongoing and/or planned. for example, pfizer biontech studied in persons aged 12 to 15 is fully enrolled as well as teencove moderna study in persons aged 12 to 17 years. i told you last time that we should know likely by the beginning of the fall whether or not we can or should be able to vaccinate children of high school age. now there are also trials in younger children which will follow referred to as the moderna kidcove study. as i mentioned, j&j is also planning studies in pediatrics. next slide. on this last slide, just a couple other considerations. people with hiv, questions we get asked all the time. people with stable hiv infection are included in the trials, although the data are limited. the hhs guidelines for hiv recommend that people with hiv should receive sars-cov-2 vaccine because the benefits certainly outweigh the potential risks. although persons living with hiv are often considered to be immunocompromised, many of them, in fact, who have normal cd4 counts, have relatively intact immune response, so we would expect they would do quite well. and then finally studies on highly allergic individuals are planned and we will continue to get data on these studies. i'll stop there and back to andy. >> we've been listening to the white house coronavirus response team, their updates just now. let me bring in dr. michael mena. he's a professor of epidemiology at harvard. good to see you again, doctor. what's your takeaway from what we heard from the response team? they really did have a note of optimism in what we heard reported, i think. >> absolutely. and rightfully so. i think with good reason the white house is acting very aggressively to get americans as many vaccines as possible. we heard andy slavitt and rochelle walensky both discussing the benefits of vaccines and the efforts to get an increasing number of them onto american soil. some of the most interesting announcements are certainly from the cdc in the updated recommendations about what the cdc feels that vaccinated individuals can do and partake in, and that includes seeing family and friends who are also vaccinated who don't have vulnerable, unvaccinated individuals in their households, for example, being able to start gathering together, which is something fairly new we haven't seen over the course of the whole pandemic. >> in addition, making kind of official the announcement that the president is going to be asking the administration to order 100 million additional doses of the j&j vaccine to put us in a better position, he said, by the end of the year. that coming in the briefing as well. and on the front of what vaccinated individuals should and shouldn't do, i found interesting, dr. mina, that business insiders are reporting that mike bloomberg, he told employees in an e-mail that they're expected to return to work as vaccines become available. i note that because you were also announcing something very interesting today, the first ever large-scale at-home rapid testing study. you're leading it. the study is underway as we speak, and i wonder what you're hoping to find out here, especially as we've just discussed so much of the focus now is on getting people vaccinated, less so, if you will, on testing. >> absolutely. so the study we're rolling out right now, and that's with citibank as well as a rapid testing and a mobile app. that is to evaluate the use of rapid tests in the household for people before they go to work. they take them three times a week. it takes 30 seconds on r a minu to use these tests, and they can determine if they're infectious before going to work. people are asking, do we need tests? the short answer is yes. vaccines are absolutely the priority right now, as they should be, but this virus, like any pandemic novel virus, can take turns. it may develop new mutations that could render many of these vaccines less beneficial, especially over time as people's immune systems might wane a bit. we just don't know. so part of this study is to make sure we have the backstops. if we see fall surges of cases, we want to have the tools to keep the american economy and keep schools going through any of those surges and ideally to prevent any surges before they even arise. >> that's really interesting. i'm looking forward to hearing how the study goes. thank you for coming on, dr. mina. it's good to see you. coming up for us, we are awaiting the final vote on president biden's massive covid relief package. cnn will bring you the debate as it happens. we're also going to be diving into what this bill could do to lift millions out of poverty. plus today is the first real test of what happens when a governor completely opens the state with no covid restrictions right now. what this means for private businesses now facing a very tough choice. one restaurant owner who has already faced backlash is joining us. ok everyone, our mission is

collected and separated from other plastics, so they can be turned back into material that we use to make new bottles. that completes the circle, and reduces plastic waste. please help us get every bottle back. at any moment now, the house could be taking the final vote on president biden's $1.9 trillion covid relief bill. the debate on the house floor continues as we speak. when passed, it will give president biden his biggest legislative victory to date and will give quite a bit to americans, including direct checks for up to $1400, $300 weekly unemployment benefits and it expands the child tax credit to up to $3600 per child under six, $300 for each child age 6 to 17, and that is an increase from the maximum benefit of $2,000 under current policy. one also notable change from existing policy in this bill is even families without an income will receive this tax credit. let's focus in on that right now and its impact. joining me right now is the co-executive director of the georgetown center on poverty. thank you for being here. you told the "washington post" to publish something that hit me, that this legislation likely represents the most effective set of policies for reducing child poverty ever in one bill, especially among black and latin-x children. that's quite a statement. why is that? >> first, thanks for having me, kate, and i think that's exactly right. the truth is this bill is going to cut poverty by about a third for americans overall, by about a half for children and even more so for black children, latin-x children. and the reason why is it's saying, look, we don't care if your parents have a job, if they have high enough income for us to decide that you deserve support. we're saying every child deserves a basic income floor. it's transformative and really like nothing we've done, but plenty of rich countries, including our neighbors in canada, have shown how powerful it can be. >> that's true, we have seen this move in other wealthy nations. how much is this likely to, just for context, reduce or help child poverty in the first year, let's say? because i'm curious of how do you measure it, and which piece of this bill has the biggest impact, do you think? >> i would say a tax credit, converting it to a child allowance or child benefit that's paid out even to families who have lost jobs and have very limited incomes is going to be the single, most consequential component for reducing child poverty. but we're also seeing impacts from the economic payments, the snap benefits or food assistance, and certainly unemployment benefits that are being enhanced as well. and folks that look at it, including people at the urban institute and the center of poverty at the university, they assume that half of the child tax credits will be paid out this year, and the other half will be paid out next year, and when you look at that, you still see these absolutely astonishing reductions in child poverty this year. i think there is a lot to celebrate there, to be honest. >> this is your work. so you know the criticisms of programs like this, often coming from republicans. there's a policy view that aid programs like this saps initiative, takes away the incentive to work. in your research, do you see evidence of that? >> look, the reality is that everyone needs a basic foundation to succeed. we're talking about $3,000 per child, $3,600 for those under the age of six. this isn't something that makes it not worthwhile to work. especially when you get the benefit whether you work or not. we are 12 million jobs, nearly, in the hole compared to where we would have been had we not hit this pandemic. but even in better times, i have every reason to believe that you will see almost no reduction in work from this child allowance policy, and, you know, if anything, we have good research suggesting that the kids who are benefiting are going to work more when they become adults. the national academy of scientists has looked into this extensively, looked into the research. they found such a modest reduction in work, and if anything, again, some of that might be good. there are parents who are low paid, struggling in the labor market, and some of them work 40, 50-plus hours a week and spending some more time with kids can be a good thing, for them, for all of us. >> is there one word for how you would describe what these elements mean to americans right now? >> transformative. we have never tried to guarantee a floor of income for anyone, really, until now. and it's particularly transformative because historically our focus on transfers to boost low incomes have been on the elderly, especially coming out of the great depression with a social security act, and we're finally catching up. exa and we're catching up with incredible speed. this new child tax credit policy will actually mean that america has one of the more generous policies to ensure a basic income for children, something that a few years ago, i think, would have been unheard of. but it will be transformative. >> i don't think just you think that, i think anyone would think that was unheard of just a few years ago, for sure. thank you very much for coming on. coming up for us, texas ends its statewide mafsk mandate starting today leaving business owners with a choice. one restaurant owner says

what do you say to a customer that comes in and says, i don't have to wear a mask, the government says i don't have to. >> that's not necessarily true, because the government is giving us a choice on whether to wear a mask or not as a business or as an individual. we chose to continue doing what we've done the last nine months. why change anything when the numbers have not been not right to do this? my customers will know they will not sit in here if they do not wear a mask. and we have support from all the community. >> why are you continuing to require masks in your restaurant? i know that sounds like an obvious question, but it's a question that every business in texas needs to face now, because there is no mandate from the state. >> well, but, you know, we haven't vaccinated enough people. the cdc is saying it's going to take 180 days to get an appropriate number, like 70% to 75%. we continue to have the mortality rate, we continue to have people going into hospitals. there is not a line that you can say, well, this is it now and you guys can continue to do business as usual. now my business as usual is wearing the mask and keeping the social distancing. >> did you at all consider not continuing to require masks? did you get any, i don't know, pushback from any of your employees on this? >> never. on the contrary. we just had a meeting this morning and we're telling them all the measures we're taking and what to say to the customers, to refer them back to our management. i mean, the only thing i did different that i've been doing for the past 12 months is that i will have a police officer in my door just to make sure we don't have anybody trying to come in and make a point. >> that's reality, but that's a sad reality, arnaldo. just so everyone knows, you have faced some threats for keeping this policy in place, threats that people were saying online this they were going to call immigration enforcement on employees of your restaurant which, first and foremost, is very clearly racist. but we've seen people getting injured, and sadly, even killed over enforcing mask policies in businesses during this pandemic. you're now going to have a police officer at your door. are you concerned about these threats and what this is going to mean for your employees going forward? >> well, the police officer is going to be only for today because it is wthe 10th, it is when the mandate is lifted. like we said, there will be some people who will come to my business and try to make a point. for the past 12 months, we have people here and there that they don't to want wear their mask and we refuse to serve them. yeah, they get irate, but they don't have to come in. we have a policy that -- we have a sign outside that says we reserve the right to refuse you service if you're not dressed properly or wearing a mask. and they need to abide by that. >> absolutely. it's your house and it is your rules, that's for sure. is the governor putting you in a tough position?

because right now i could not feel lonelier. >> the sense of loneliness and isolation leading to a deterioration of their mental health. diana opening up about bulimia and self-harm. meghan to thoughts of suicide leaving to one overarching feeling for both, shame. >> i didn't like myself. i was ashamed because i couldn't cope with the pressures. >> i'm supposed to stronger than that. >> at their darkest moments detailing a lack of support from the firm. >> when no one listens use it or you feel no one's listening to you, all sorts of things start to happen. >> i said that i needed to go somewhere to get help. i've never felt this way before, and i need to go somewhere, and i was told that i couldn't, that it wouldn't be good for the institution. >> both interviews noting a curiously specific similarity that the women's tours of australia led to a rise of jealousy within the royal family. even more alarming, the accusation from both women that the institution was not only not helping but actively working behind the scenes to hurt them. >> do you really believe that a campaign was being waged against you? >> yes, i did, absolutely. >> why? >> i was separated wife of prince of wales. i was a problem full stop, what do we do with her? >> the narrative about making kate cry i think was the beginning of a real character assassination and they knew it wasn't true. and i felt, well, if they're not going to kill things like that, then what are we going to do? >> and yet both women ending on a note of optimism despite the turmoil. >> i sit here with hope because there's a future ahead, a future for my husband, afuture for myself and a future for the monarchy. >> we've actually not just survived but are thriving. you know, this, just miracles. and this is in some ways just the beginning for us. >> and while the world watched as diana's story ended in tragedy, meghan's chapters are still being written. prince harry's been very clear he does see history repeating itself as the reason why he took his family away from their home in windsor, took them to canada and subsequently to california. diana didn't have a chance to heal that rift with the royal family. meghan does have that opportunity. the queen is keen to rebuild, but she wants to be doing that in private. so, for now, they've all gone quiet, kate. >> max, thank you very much for that. and thank you all so much for joining us this hour. i'm kate bolduan. john king picks up our coverage right now. ♪ hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king in washington. and thank you for sharing a very important, very busy news day with us. live pictures the house of representatives right now, the lower chamber will vote in just a few minutes to deliver president joe biden's big coronavirus rescue package. billions to state and local governments and monthly help to american parents. the plan is broadly popular, and this is a very important win for the new president on day 50 of his administra
