Burner as the Biden Administration and Senate Democrats push forward on a cody relief bill that some lawmakers and even leftleaning economists say could actually hurt the economy in the long run. President biden saying today its an easy choice, pointing to the latest jobs numbers as proof there is no time to waste. This as he met with 10 republican senators earlier this week who proposed a Counter Offer to his nearly 2 trillion plan. White house correspondent Kristin Fisher has been following it all. She joins us live from the north lawn from the white house with the latest. Good evening, kristin. Good evening, bret. The week started with President Biden meeting with republican senators and hoping to cut a deal. But it is ending with the president giving his strongest signal yet that he intends to move forward with his relief plan without republican support. Im going to act. Im going to act fast. In his most fiery defense of his 1. 9 trilliondollar relief plan, President Biden made it unmistakenly clear today that he will not budge on the size and scope of his package. I have told both republicans and democrats, thats my preference to Work Together. But if i have to choose between getting help right now to americans who are hurting so badly and getting dry toybogged down in a lengthy negotiation or compromising on a bill thats thats up to the crisis, thats an easy choice. The president pointed to the january jobs report out today to bolster his beliefs that the country needs every dollar that he is asking for. The economy added only 49,000 jobs last month. While the Unemployment Rate held steady at 6. 7 . Larry summers the Treasury Secretary in the Clinton Administration is worried President Biden is trying to go too big. In an oped in the the Washington Post, summers says bold measures need to be accompanied by careful consideration of risks and warns a Relief Package of this size could set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation and threatened the president s other priorities. But the president s economic adviser Jared Bernstein says the white houses entire Economic Team is in agreement. With respect to larrys point, i mean, one thing is just wrong, which is that our team is dismissive of inflationary risks. This morning President Biden huddled with House Democrats in the oval office thanking them for moving quickly and Senate Democrats for passing a budgets in the wee house of the morning to fast track his bill without republican supports. I hope that we can Work Together. During the Voter Roma Last Night republican senator rick scott accused democrats of refusing to compromise. We are trying to make this a better package for American Families and the democrats block everything we are doing. The white house is now trying to sell the plan with this made for social media video using conservative voters to pressure republicans on capitol hill. My message to our republican elected officials is to put our country first. President biden is also Standing Firm on the amount of those Stimulus Checks at 1,400. He is now hun his way to spend Super Bowl Weekend in delaware but the White House Press secretary today would not reveal who is he rooting for. Bret . Bret Kristin Fisher live on the north lawn. Thank you. Stocks finished of the week in the green on the hopes of Stimulus Progress and the job market rebound the dow up 92 the s p 500 gained 15. The nasdaq starts the weekend ahead 79 points. For the week all three indices had their best weeks since november. The dow up nearly 4 percent for the week. The s p 500 was up 4. 5. The nasdaq was up 6 . Breaking tonight, Joint Base Andrews, the home to Air Force One was recently breached. We found out today. Not only did one man make it onto the base. He made it aboard an aircraft like those used by some of the biggest washington vips. Neurosensory correspondent general griffin joins us live from the pentagon with details. Good evening, jennifer. Good evening, bret. A Senior Defense official tells me the intruder, an unarmed adult male civilian gained access to Joint Base Andrews and was caught as he exited the c40 v. I. P. Transport plane which is the same type of plane used by the Vice President the Defense Secretary and congressional leaders and has the same markings at air force 1. Ing it adult male get into airplane at andrews. That is exactly what the air force is investigating now. Everybody in the department and certainly everybody in the air force understands what a serious matter this is. They have made adjustments to their Security Protocols at andrews. The intruder who was handed over to Law Enforcement and given a federal summons was trespassing had two outstanding Arrest Warrants for theft. He said he just wanted to see a plane. Officials suggested the man may have been suffering from mental issues at the time and did not belong to a known extremist group. The air force has launched a worldwide Security Investigation of its bases and flight lines. President biden flew out of Joint Base Andrews just moments ago, heading home to delaware. We are told that none of the president s Air Force Ones fleet were breached. Bret . Bret Jennifer Griffin live at the pentagon. Thank you. An update to a story we brought you last night. The cost for the National Guard deployed to washington, d. C. Since january 6th is now estimated to be around 438 million. And growing. And tonight Pentagon Press secretary john kirby says he still doesnt know who will foot that bill or when the troops are leaving. As long as the secretary believes there is a valid requirement that we have to meet at the request of federal and roll Law Enforcement as well as the city, were going to do that. Bret just for context the 438milliondollar bill is more than the budgets last year for Police Departments of atlanta and new orleans combined. The director of the centers for Disease Control said this week schools can reopen safely now before all teachers are vaccinated. But white house officials quickly said that isnt good enough. This as chicagos mayor says they have made their final offer to the Teachers Union there. And as Senior Correspondent mike tobin reports, the Teachers Union in chicago tonight is saying that isnt good enough. With classrooms having been empty for almost a year an inpatient mayor of chicago offered what she said was the last, best and final offer to get teachers and students back in class. The Teachers Union refused. We are failing those children by not giving them the option to return to school. An estimated 2300 teachers in fairfax county, virginia, amounts to open the school. That means more than 600 staffers will classrooms while the teacher is on the screen. Federation of teachers told members not to report to unsafe buildings on monday. The cdc director says schools can reopen with protocols. A Safe Reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely. Chicago teachers demand more access to vaccination. Massachusetts teachers complain because the republican governor moved people over 65 ahead of them to get the shot. San francisco where the city is suing the School District teachers demand vaccinations. This is paralyzing our city and our residents. And i know that this is a drastic step. But i feel we are out of options at this point. The ceo of Chicago Public schools tweeted finding a Public Health expert who opposes in Person Learning is like fine finding a scientist who doesnt believe in climate change. Democrats brand themselves the party of science. Our administration will lead with science and scientists. The contempt for science must stop. And it must stop when it comes to the coronavirus. Science more Public Health, not politics must be the guide. Teachers unions are heavily democratic having donated 43. 7 million to campaigns in 2020. Only 2 of that went to republicans. Now a crack white house is not pressuring teachers to follow the science. He wants them not just to reopen but to stay open and he wants them to do that in a safe way. We are going to rely on cdc guidance which, again, is not officially out yet. Bret mike tobin in chicago reporting. At the order of the president the Defense Secretary is deploying the military to help americans get vaccinated faster. This as the Biden Administration floats the idea of sending a mask to every single american. Correspondent Jonathan Serrie has the latest Coronavirus Headlines from atlanta. The fda is scheduled a Public Meeting with independent experts on february 6th to evaluate johnson and johnsons application for Emergency Use of its one dose vaccine. Although the shots came in behind existing vaccines in preventing overall disease, in clinical trials, experts are nonetheless optimistic because johnson and johnsons candidate appears to prevent the worst outcomes of covid19. In the south africa can study as well as all of the others, there were essentially no hospitalizations or deaths. According to the cdc, the u. S. Has distributed more than 57 million vaccine doses. But 39 have yet to be administered. Its suspected Vaccination Sites are Still Holding second doses in reserve despite assurances from federal Health Officials that there is enough vaccine in the pipeline. Politico reports a fractured Tracking System makes it difficult to account for all doses in realtime. Today the pentagon announced it will deploy more than 1,000 active Duty Service Members to assist state Vaccination Sites. And the Biden Administration plans to use the Defense Production Act to ramp up American Manufacturing of vaccines and personal protective equipment. Right now we just dont have enough gloves. We are nearly 100 percent reliant on overseas manufacturers to export to us our countrys surgical gloves that protect healthcare workers. Thats an unacceptable. And we are using all of our authorities to fix it. Although the administration is still workings to meet demand for vaccines and frontline medical supplies, it is also revisiting the idea of providing free face masks to every american. The Public Health agencies recommended it. President trump vetoed it for some reason. We want to get this back on track. I hope in the next few days or next week we may be able to announce some progress on this. This afternoon the cdc published a Study Showing states that imposed mask mandates Saw Hospitalizations growth rates decline by as much as 5. 5 percentage points. And new daily cases of covid19 have decreased 61 since their peak on january 8th. But federal Health Officials say its still too early to know shore sure whether this is the result of increased vaccination and masking or just moving beyond all of those gatherings we had during the december holidays.
