♪ ♪ good evening and welcome to washington come on bret baier. chicago schools could gradually start to be open for in person learning this week under with the chicago mayor is calling a tentative agreement with the teachers union there on covid-19 safety protocols and rolled out vaccinations for teachers. the deal if approved by the members of the unit would avoid a possible strike in the nation's largest school district. chicago is only one of many communities across the country fighting to get students back and side schools. i will speak in just a few minutes with the director of national institute of infectious diseases, dr. anthony fauci. we began with senior correspondent mike tobin in chicago, good evening. >> from a snow we chicago almost after a year after board with class on a computer and some not logging on. grades slipping, depression on the rise and apparently back to the classroom but as we see across the nation dealing with a pandemic, nothing is easy. at long last chicago's mayor with a breakthrough that means a public school students start phasing back to in person study this week. >> i am confident, confident that the measures we have and what we will put in place will make our schools safer than what they are. >> but the chicago teachers union to tap the opportunism and no agreement between the board of education. what we have is a framework. and the and the rank-and-file to ratify the framework could come as early as tuesday but no member of the ct will be required to return to the classroom without an opportunity to be vaccinated and it creates thresholds to shut down in person learning if the virus surges. educators did not show up monday at the urging of the president of the teachers federation. >> because they refused to risk their lives in order to sit in school buildings that aren't safe. >> san francisco also announced the tentative deal to snag what the attorney said is progress but not enough. he will file a motion to a lawsuit compelling the school district to meet state requirements for reopening. the director of the cdc who set a safe return to class does not require a vaccine said transmission happens outside of an environment where safety protocols are filed like school. >> the school suggest there is very little transmission happening in the school, especially when there is not social distancing occurring. >> three of the largest ten school districts are closed. the three that are open are in florida. the other large districts in new york to used and are partially open. in new york the mayor announced middle schools will be reopening late this month for about 62,000 students, they are teachers prioritized for vaccinations. we talk about coming back strong, it depends on the public schools and republic schools have done amazing work throughout this crisis. speak with a phased in return of chicago students could start wik and special education kids this. then in march you will seek kindergarten all the way through eighth grade. no timeline of return for high school students, bret. >> bret: mike tobin live in a snow we chicago to talk more about schools and vaccines, let's bring in top public health director the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases, dr. anthony fauci anthony fauci. dr. fauci think you for being here. >> thank you. >> bret: you heard bikes report and there is a lot of concern from parents, teachers, communities about getting the students back to schools. camp these communities do it safe now even though the teachers are not vaccinated? >> i think what you heard the doctor say that this can be done provided that the capability of keeping the children and the teachers safe, mainly wearing a mask and having the resources to be able to arrange the classes so that you have appropriate spacing. those kind of things, and public health issues can be done. but obviously, you have a lot of serious discussions going on between the teachers union and the officials of the city and the states that you just mentioned. so it's not an easy problem to solve. obviously, we want to get teachers vaccinated. they are essential personnel as far as we are concerned. it would be important to get them vaccinated, but there are situations where you likely can still get children back to school providing you do it in a safe environment with masking and other public health measures. >> bret: chose to be clear, you are not speaking a personal capacity. you are speaking is the job you do, right? we had the white house come out saying the cdc director saying the exact same thing you said, speaking in a personal capacity but not official guidance. this will be the official guidance, is it not? >> the official guidance come up bret, likely coming out before the end of this week. so i think it would be important rather than trying to get different opinions of it, let's see what the guidance shows and we can all discuss about the various aspects of the guidance. but it will be coming out -- i'm almost certain before the end of the week. >> bret: where are we on this virus? right now and we know about getting the vaccines, getting them out and about but fighting the virus. what are the numbers you are seeing and what are you looking at right now? >> bret we been through a terrible period over the last month as you know. we had a situation up to 300,000, 4,400,000 cases per da, and hospitals being overrun but the good news now is what we are seeing numerically is that there has been a plateauing and a coming down of numbers of cases. rather significant diminution and we hope to be going that direction. that is the good news. the somewhat challenging news is that we have variance, namely mutations that occurred and dominate in places like the u.k. that are now here in the united states. and from the data that we get from our british colleagues is that this virus tends to transmit more readily from person to person, which means that we are going to have to double down on public health measures. the good news is that the vaccine that we have that we are distributing now, even though the supply has not yet completely met the demands, the vaccine is effective against that variant that is predominant in the u.k. so we have a task ahead of us. we have to do two things simultaneously. we have got to adhere to the public health measures, masking, physical distancing, voiding congregate settings, but at the same time, as possible to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can. that will help contain the outbreak and also helped to contain the spread of these variants which are of concern here in the united states and other countries. >> bret: dr. fauci come i want to bring you back to february of last year. this is white house task force. you were talking there about the status of this virus at that point. take a listen. >> you can't be relying on a vaccine over the next several months to a year. however, if this virus which we have every believe to believe it will happen, it will go be on every season and recycle next year. if that is the case, we hope to have a vaccine. >> bret: i just want to get your thoughts about looking back at that piece of tape, and what you were thinking then and what you are thinking now. >> well come i think what happened was even beyond the expectations in a positive way. when i was asked back then because we had started working on the vaccine, literally in january, i guess a month before that tape, bret and i was asked when do we think we will have a vaccine that might be available? and i said 12-18 months. fortunately for us because a variety of circumstances, we were able to show that we have a vaccine that is both highly efficacious, 94%-95% with a very good safety profile. so i said back on the tape that you just showed, that we would need to vaccine and get a handle on this. fortunately for us now, we do have a vaccine. the question is we have to get enough doses out to get as many people vaccinated as possible. >> bret: i want to do a quick lightning around here. do we know now if you have covid, have had to covid, how long your protection lasts? we know you can get it again, but do we know, do we have any studies about the numbers now? >> no, we don't, bret. it varies from person to person. it will likely be six months or more, but we don't know the complete durability of that. we will know the durability of protection against with regard to the vaccine if we follow individuals long enough. but everyone is obviously asking that question come if i got infected in february, how long will it be protected against reinfection and against the same virus? and the fact is, bret, we don't have a definitive answer to that question, although we can surmise it is likely several months at least. >> bret: last thing, watching the super bowl last night kudos to the nfl and they cut the season through and it was exciting to watch, but is there going to be a time when we are going to have no masks? when is that time? if you had to guess going to a sports game, going to a theater, going to a concert without a mask? >> you know, bret that will be dependent on the level of the virus in the community down. if we can get and i have used this as an estimate, it is not definitive come if we can get 70%-85% of the population vaccinated and get to where we hope it would be to a degree, herd immunity, which really is an umbrella or a veil of protection against the community where the level of virus is so low, it is not a threat at all, then at that point, you can start thinking in terms of not having to have two wear a mask. but we are certainly not near there yet. when do i think that will occur? it is very hard to predict, bret, but if everything falls into place and we get this under control, it is conceivable that you might be able to pull back a bit on the public health measures as we get into the late fall of this year. but there was no guarantee of that. because if we don't get the overwhelming majority of the population vaccinated, there will still be a considerable amount of virus in the community. as long as that is the case, bret, people will have to wear masks. >> bret: you know, because of what we are doing with the coronavirus, we haven't heard a lot about the seasonal flu. you lose 30000-60000 people at the flu. has not gone down dramatically? >> extraordinarily and infect that is a good testimony to the efficacy of wearing masks, voiding congregate settings, and keeping distance. because we did that during this late fall, early winter. and the level of influenza in the community is remarkably low regarding comparisons to other years. our australian colleagues have the same experience during their winter, which is essentially our summer. when i was talking to my colleagues in australia, they were sagging, tony, we don't have hardly any flu this year ad we think it is due to the fact that people are wearing masks, keeping their distance and avoiding congregate settings. goes to show you those public health measures actually work. >> bret: dr. fauci, we appreciate your time. welcome back anytime. >> thank you, brett, good to be with you. >> bret: president biden to push to trillion dollar covert relief plan without bipartisan support, but not the only thing on his agenda that is raising eg republicans, peter doocy looks at the other plants while the president still has to answer questions about his predecessor. >> president biden is not following pro-trump impeachment trial, but instead his focus is covid-19. it's supporting a democratic proposal for federal payments up to $3600 per child for qualifying families. >> this proposal is emergency funding. >> what about raising minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025? the congressional budget said 1.4 million jobs and 25 alone but the white house still wants it in the stimulus. >> there is a parliamentarian who will make a decision about what can end up in a final package. >> even though biden himself was capital bowl about raising a wage like that friday. >> i put in the end, but i don't think it will survive. >> immigration policy may soon change and prepares to tilt i.c.e. agents not to prioritize deporting illegal immigrants convicted upset stomach simple assault or dui. >> nobody is saying dui or behavior but the prioritization of who will be supported from the country. >> it's been 19 days since 11,000 people plan on working keystone xl pipeline found out the project was canceled by biden executive order. >> my wife and daughter have a daughter in college and how do we provide health care? >> union workers can have green jobs instead of. >> they can be the people that go to work to make the solar panels. >> but union boss who supports bret general rules thinks they should have had the green jobs lined up already. >> i wish he had pair that more carefully with the thing that he did second by saying we are creating jobs. >> winter they get the green jobs? >> the president many democrats and republicans in congress believe the infrastructure, building infrastructure that is international interest and boost the economy creates jobs in america and advances clean energy goals and something we can work on together. >> climate change with a live government approach. every cabinet agency to use authority to improve the environment but despite all the eyeballs on this, people losing jobs, are not environmentally friendly but still have not been told when the promise of green jobs will be ready, bret. >> bret: good questioning at the briefing today, peter doocy on the north lawn, thanks. record highs across wall street. the dow jones gaining 238 and s&p 500 rose 29 and the nasdaq finished up 121 but just minutes ago president trump's counsel says the former president is pleased by one part of the upcoming impeachment trial. find out what that is after the break. first, covering tonight, fox 2 in st. louis, st. louis justice center broke out of their cells over the weekend, said fire was caused flooding and threw things out a fourth floor windows. and one officer was injured and it took officers eight hours to restore order there. in birmingham, alabama, the workers at the fulfillment center of voting to unionize. if that motion succeeds, the union would be the first one for amazon employees in the u.s. and this is a live look from sacramento from fox affiliate 40 and more than a month until the deadline, the campaign to recall california governor gavin newsom reach the number of signatures required to qualify for statewide ballot. the campaign said they had 1.4 million names with 1.5 million needed. that is tonight's live look outside of the beltway from "special report." we will be right back. sfx: [sounds of everyday life events, seen and heard in reverse] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ sfx: [sounds of fedex planes and vehicles engines] ♪♪ sfx: [sounds of children laughing and running, life moving forward] it's time for the ultimate sleep number event on the new sleep number 360 smart bed. what if i sleep hot?

>> well, the guide in recent history on this, bret he was impeached once before. there was a trail and he was acquitted. nancy pelosi, i can remember, obviously, she thought this would be a stain that would last and affect the outcome of the upcoming election but it dropped out of sight and was never mentioned in the fall campaign by politicians on either party that i'm aware of and certainly not mentioned by either presidential candidate. it dropped like a stone. so i don't think there is any good reason to believe this will leave a lasting mark, and less if were convicted, and the vote succeeded to bar him thereafter from office, that obviously would affect his political career. but if he's not convicted, this thing will disappear in a matter of months. to be when i wanted to ask if this well i had you peered over the beacon former secretary george holtz died at the age of 100 and i had the opportunity to interview him about my book and fascinated with the stories. but i wanted to get your thoughts on someone who was instrumental in the reagan years and foreign policy overall. >> bret he was one of those consequential cabinet officers of our time up through the reagan administration and beyond. he was very smart. very self-confident, very public spirited to come a very decent, honorable man and set a great example. and i think for years to come, historians will look at him and give him great credit for the service he performed. he was a fine man. >> bret: brit, as always, thank you. >> thank you. >> bret: rule breaker, how speaker pelosi is not following her own rules, rules to the lawmakers have cost them $5,000 apiece. also the head -- by thousands of national guard troops in our nation's capital did not get involved after protesters coupled with the police in washington, d.c., here over the weekend. st.

>> harold: well, i find myself -- thanks for having me on task i will probably wait on the keystone pipeline. it had already been approved although not everyone has had on this show, he has been taking in drilling oil and gas and electric cars. i think in new president is onto something and trying to figure out how we transform to a different and clean energy economy. in fact, president trump's outgoing head of the world bank who came to the job believing that claimant was the wrong path and believing leaving that job putting the world bank and americans -- i think with the president is trying to do, he would have waited. but i share trey thinking about this. i might have waited on that and moved a different direction, but i like what he is doing and sincerely hope $1.9 trillion relief package is something he doesn't relent on and continues to push. >> bret: mollie, the news that trump came out and said what he said, obviously an ally of president biden. >> yes, first of all let me say the pipeline should not have been killed. it was a wonderful thing that was helping provide energy independence for the country which isn't just good for domestic jobs but good for national security. and president biden was pretty honest what he wanted to do with the economy but he was not honest about what he was going to do in terms of getting rid of the pipeline and destroying so many jobs without a plan in place or what those jobs could be. but it seems if president biden were trying to kill the economy he would do what is exactly doing. this pipeline thing or raising taxes or getting rid of the tax cuts or whether of the $15 minimum wage he wants to put forth, which is totally something large corporations can handle but absolutely destroy small businesses. and then more than anything his refusal to take on the teachers union as they hold children hostage and making sure schools cannot be reopened, not having the courage to take that on shows this economic that could be in play might be here for some time. >> bret: dr. fauci is saying those guidelines, cdc guidelines coming up this week and imminently we will see where that goes beyond the personal capacity of the cdc director on that issue of schools. the other thing that is raising eyebrows in d.c., trey, immigration policy. take a listen. >> now the biden administration is saying they will not deport criminal, illegal aliens with serious or violent felonies like assault. joe biden and the democrats are putting american workers last and illegal aliens first. >> nobody is saying the ui, salt or unacceptable behavior and those arrested for such activity should be tried in sentence by local law enforcement. we are talking about the prioritization of who will be deported from the country. >> bret: for border states, that is a big issue, trey. >> trey: i think they are on the wrong side of it, bret. sitting down with the parents of the kid killed by a drunk driver and explain how removing drunk drivers was not a priority. domestic violence, you really want to explain to someone that if you commit an act of domestic violence, on a way to citizenship that you should be a path back to where you came from. but you should not remain in this country. i think he is making a big mistake, letting people who break our laws come again but once i come here unlawfully continue to remain here. >> bret: quickly, harold, is this giving an issue to republicans getting ready for 2022? >> harold: it is early, it could. i agree. but it might not be -- to understand what the president is trying to do with some of this is not the right thing. i think the larger effort here has to be comprehensive immigration reform and hopefully that is where he is headed. >> bret: all right, panel standby. tomorrow's headlines tonight plus. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ wanna build a gaming business that breaks the internet?
