from the biden administration white house deputy press secretary tj duck resigned yesterday one day after suspended for threatening a reporter, he has apologized and president biden's apologizing and going into detail, he said i know this is terrible i know i cannot take it back but i also know i learned from and do better this incident is not representative of who i am as a person and i'll be determined to earn back the trust because of my intolerable action. on friday the white house made it clear it felt his conduct was inappropriate and suspension not termination was not the right punishment, that cop people by surprise president biden himself and he insisted any misconduct would lead to determination. >> i'm joking when i say this, if you ever work with me and i hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone i promise you i will fire you on the spot. >> that was the president on january 20 as for this weekend the president is at camp david expected

the white house. arthel: a day one order from biden the administration causing confusion at the border and one close call in texas that in the end it did not and could have threatened the safety of americans. growth jenkins breaks it down for. >> ice officials in texas released three men convicted of offenses against children they were not released after discussion between ice and local officials but the dangerous situation arose from an apparent misapplication of president biden's january 20 manner under memorandum on immigration resending the previous administration practices on deportation and detainers would seek to keep convicted migrants in custody after their sentence in the biden directive it instructs agencies like ice to focus their enforcement efforts more narrowly into three main categories. national security, border security and public safety and insights aggravated felony as part of the threat, aggravated felony as defined in the immigration and nationality act means murder, rape or sexual abuse of a minor, why were these three men about to be released, ice is not providing a detailed explanation but says in a statement the agency makes arrest and custody determination on a case-by-case basis based on the totality of the circumstances and does so in compliance with their lot and agency policy, the situation is texas officials on high alert as ice has dropped detainers requested 26 individuals in recent weeks, the chief of staff at the texas department of criminal justice told the ap who first reported the story, our concern is that you have individuals that have offenses in which we believe they would pose a public safety threat. so dropping the detainer intern is not a public safety and weeks brace that immigration officials. this as texas temporary restraining order barring biden's 100 a moratorium on deportations which was part of the day one memorandum is set to end in a few weeks. in washington, griff jenkins fox news.

>> thank you for having me on first of all it's absolutely true teachers can go back to school without vaccinations but i been a proponent of getting teachers vaccinated sooner rather than later and putting them near the front of the line at this moment. it will certainly help and build confidence in more than anything else we need to get our schools back open in any way we can do that safely is good. in terms of making schools safer a bunch of us have been talking about since last summer saying all of the things the federal government and the states invested, getting schools open should be near the top of the list and if that means putting in money to upgrade facilities and improved ventilation we should do those things, that's a good thing to do and if it helps kids get back in safely in teachers that is really important. arthel: not to downplay the biden of administration efforts, there has been widespread request for consistent national guidance and president biden biden says he will not interfere with the cdc, does saying teachers can return to the classroom without getting their shots somehow downplay the need for us to get vaccinated? >> i hope not i hope no one takes it that way we all need to get vaccinated as soon as it's our turn but the big question right now when there's more demand than supply is what should we do in terms of prioritizing teachers and obviously we should prioritize high risk people, older people people with comorbidities and i advocated and many people have that the teacher should be a priority as well i think it'll be helpful, then saying is not necessary is consistent with the science and nobody should take that as a teacher should not get vaccinated or any of us should not get vaccinated we also get vaccinated when it's our turn. arthel: i'm totally waiting for my turn i cannot wait for it to happen. cdc director said all americans who want the vaccine will have been vaccinated by the end of summer, where does that put us on should the schedule actually stay in place, where does that put us in terms of a normal existence with the freedom to travel and go out to dinner and go to the movies and concerts? >> first of all i think that timeline doctor walensky blade out i'm a little more optimistic than that by june or july any american who wants a vaccine should be able to get vaccinated by the beginning of the summary, that means we should have a really good summer, there may be a few high risk remember the super packed indoor concert that may take a little while to figure out how ideally to get it running but i think dining and travel in so many things we have missed in the last year should be much more doable and safe to do by the time summer is here especially people following during getting vaccinated. arthel: that means amphitheaters will work for outdoor concerts. also from the cdc new guidelines that they now double mask greatly increases the fight against covid and making sure you are wearing your mask correctly on your face. how directly is wearing a mask and please tell people how to wear a mask. >> whenever people put on a mask it's two things how good it filters and how well it fits, there are high-quality mask, and 94, 95 that have a terrific fit and a lot harder to get and what many of us are doing i been doing out and about it's not such a big deal when you're outside but going indoors for extended period of time you put on the surgical mask first that puts a layer of protection and then a cloth mask causes the surgical mask to fit tightly and now you have two layers of filtration that is very high-quality that has been our assessment in the cdc testing that out and showing that it's quite good is very reassuring. that is the key part and you know how to do it all the time when you're going indoors for extended period of time the double masking can make a big difference. arthel: covering your nose and your mouth. >> no doubt about that. arthel: doctor ashish jha thank you very much and we'll be right back. ♪ try boost® high protein... -with 20 grams of protein for muscle health- -versus only 16 grams in ensure® high protein. and now enjoy boost® high protein in café mocha flavor. keeping your oysters business growing has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/promo ♪ ♪ these days you need more than an education. so that's what we give you. introducing career services for life. learn more at phoenix.edu >> man: what's my safelite story?

controversy surrounding a white house communication official, deputy press secretary tj declue resigned last night after reports surfaced that he threatened to destroy a reporter who was working on a story with his relationship with a different journalist. in a statement he apologized and said he is devastated to have embarrassed and disappointed my white house colleagues and president biden, let's bring in jamie weinstein, the show podcast, founder and partner of j mw strategies who knows about the way of washington. ducklo, let's get the facts, ducklo goes out, it's a relationship with axial's reporter, she covered the campaign, it is public, the political reporter tara is writing a story about this and tara talks the duck lot in their off the record phone conversation with her and says i will destroy you and she writes about the story, is something john gotti with the white house, would you think of all of this. >> it was outrageous thing to say of a female reporter should have never happened and obviously the white house initially tried to protect their own staff or there is a reason why there was only some sort of punishment once he became known and not beforehand when they knew about internally, ultimately they put out a penalty that would be a suspended week without pay and a lot of uproar and understandably so not quite in line with the biden administration policy what he set out on the first day in office saying if anyone treats anybody in this administration unkindly you are out of here as a result of the opera this is where we are now that he is now been fired i guess it's a resignation but it seems as this was a forced resignation. eric: yes, sir ducklo is a longtime aide to the president and also suffers from stage four lung cancer and is undergoing treatment for that. would this be a momentary lapse of anger management or more indicative of something else and what is the relationship with sources and officials get angry or mad at a reporter, what is the dynamic, who says in a statement he's apologized to the reporter and says he can't take the terrible things he said back and he realizes that and will learn from this. >> off the record conversation that can happen all the time sometimes are heated in politics, this stepped over the line where i don't want to go into the details because i think they're unseemly but he says certain things to this reporter that is not appropriate whether it's on the record or off the record conversation i don't know if it means anything larger in terms of the biden administration, i guess we will find that out as time goes on but in this particular incident was discerning and finally ended in a factor of having to resign but it seemed like a forced resignation. eric: reporters have been targets a lot in the past few years, montana governor when he was a congressman he body slammed a reporter and was charged with assault, president trump certainly verbally attacked reporters constantly add his rallies in other places in mr. biden called one reporter aligned dogface during the campaign. what is it like when you're reporter, at what point do you say it's off the record i'm going to let it slide or do you tell your friends and then he gets out or is it not appropriate anyway when you're dealing with a professional relationship as sources and officials and members of the media do half. >> is certainly inappropriate he brought up the forte incident i'm a good friend with a reporter that was body slammed he was just doing his job and asking questions and sometimes that you know the questions are uncomfortable questions and questions they do not want to answer, that is the point and is neither appropriate to respond by body slamming a reporter doing something less than that by attacking them personally it's a constant battle with the press and some are better than others but this is an instant i'm sure the biden administration with the first major interactions with the press to be something disturbing as this, hopefully it does not continue we don't have other examples of this and obviously the last administration has more examples at least verbal attacks from the press we will see if the biden administration reverses course on that but it is very early. eric: jamie weinstein of the jamie weinstein podcast. washington and on and off the record. good to

megan revealed she suffered a miscarriage in july the couple has been living in california with her 1-year-old son archie after historic decision to step back from their senior rolls in the royal family, happy valentine's day and congratulations megan and harry. eric: that is great for them, congratulations, britney spears has a big court battle, the judge ruling that her father's request to maintain soul of her finances must put the duties with the point of trust firm, that is the latest development in the decade-long fight over the pop stars conservative ship. christina coleman live in los angeles with the details. >> britney's father will have to share equal power over her financial affairs with his newly appointed firm, legal expert says this is a partial one for the popstar. >> britney has an independent third-party not a family member that she dislikes that are looking out for her financial affairs, and in fact they will have to work hand-in-hand with jamie spears and come up with a budget and suggestions on investment vehicles to be approved by a court. >> there is a ton renewed interest in this case following the recent release of the new york times documentary called framing britney spears shows the intense public scrutiny, ridicule and sometimes harsh media coverage that britney endured leaning up to her public meltdown it also explains the conservatorship that was established with her father around that time back in 2008, britney wants her father's conservatorship removed over her estate and so do many of her fans and wondering why this arrangement is still in place especially since a conservator is appointed by a judge to protect and manage the financial affairs of a person's daily life due to physical or mental limitations or old age. >> this conservatorship for britney spears has been going on for over a decade and it's baffling to me because as recent as a couple of years ago britney spears did an entire tour in las vegas performing, showing up on time, delivering the goods as a performer so i find hard to believe that she is not mentally fit to handle her own personal financial affairs. >> however, jamie spears attorney has emphasized the need for conservatorship to protect britney from people who would or have. on her. both parties expected on court on march 17. eric: thank you. arthel: eric and christina thank you, attorney mark smith king's college senior fellow of law and public policy, thank you for joining us and i'll start by saying # free britney, can britney regain full control of her life, her finances and choose her own financial advisor is. >> again conservatorships are supposed to be about making sure people and vulnerable states are protected, they can be protected by an individual conservator or file by a court or sometimes in this case by a corporation which recently occurred, however, once a vulnerable individual demonstrates are capable of making decisions on their own whether financial decisions are life decisions or help decisions then at that point assuming the judge agrees then they are indeed allowed to go back to where they were at the beginning and make independent judgments without the need for guardian or conservator to oversee that. right now during the britney spears case the way it looks if you look at the record in los angeles and what the court is saying it appears there seems to be a need for britney spears to have a conservator overlooking her finances and that's why right now based on the record you have not only her father but a new corporate fiduciary going to be paying attention to financial decisions that britney spears is involved with or going forward but one would think that britney spears would be able to independently become her own person again without having any oversight by conservator or guardian. arthel: she completed her residency in las vegas and that calls for a lot of responsibility a lot of showing up on time not canceling shows and she did it, that said does her father jamie spears facing legal penalties or fines for appearing to try to perpetuate a narrative that britney is unstable and unable to control her own affairs? >> we have to keep in mind that there is an independent court a judge in los angeles that is overseeing this entire conservatorship for over a decade and based on the reporting there has been reviews of the financial document, review every year that the decisions have been made and so far in many respects there hasn't been any major issues necessarily britney spears is making the case. arthel: pardoning mr. smith, no issues i'm not talking about issues or whether or not their siphoning money, anyway i am saying she has shown responsibility so what point can she get out of this? >> there are legal standards that apply to this and certainly is possible she might be a very compelling entertainer which she certainly is a very successful but the conservatorship right now seems to focus on how does she spend her financial resources how does she spend her savings how is that deployed and certainly a fantastic entertainer but her question about her financial problems is an open question and if you look at the judge. arthel: it became an issue because she had a quote meltdown because the proper rotc was hunting her down in public, she could not go anywhere she could not even get a cup of coffee without a horde of them surrounding her and took her kids away after she was probably suffering from postpartum it seems a force set up from the beginning, quickly the public pressure is on the documentary is out there, yes or no did that play in her favor and get her back to where she should be? >> i think the documentary helps her in the sense that it continues to shine a spotlight in los angeles judges are people too they read the newspapers and by all evidence this judge has been very fair and certainly i'm sure this judge understands people are watching that's why you gotta be extra careful in a case like this. arthel: were all watching mark smith, thank you very much. we'll be right back. cer,... ...standing in the struggle. hustling through the hurt. asking for science, not
