nationwide. moore states are expanding eligibility every day. you can see in the numbers that the vaccine rollout is ready speeding up. the united states is averaging more than 2.3 million shots per day. with saturday marking the largest single day jump in vaccinations that we ve seen so far. nearly 70 million americans have now received at least one dose. more than 37 million americans are now fully vaccinated. that is more than 11% of the population. and while those numbers are great news and they really are, there is also real concern for the 89% of the rest of the population, if you will, as spring break travel is leading to scenes like this. large crowds packing beaches in florida and plane travel just hit a pandemic record despite the cdc still warning against it. we re going to wait to hear from the biden team on. that we re also standing about toy by to hear about that. a massive effort to try to tackle vaccine hesitancy that is still a really problem across the count
this is a humanitarian challenge to all of us, what the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border. they are working to correct that. this idea is joe biden s election that prompted more people to show up is by the actual fact. joe biden inherited a huge mess on immigration. we recognize this is a huge problem and we had a dismantled and unworkable system. like any other problem, we will do everything we can to solve it. jesse: conditions are so bad at the border that fema is sent in to help manage the unaccompanied children. one report said a texas facility is 729% capacity. kids have to take turns sleeping on the floor and go days without showering. republicans have had enough. house minority leader kevin mccarthy was on the ground in texas today and demanding biden do something about it. heartbreak. the sad part about all of this, it didn t have to happen. this crisis is created by the presidential policies of this new administration. there i
dismantling every system in place to address this with humanity and compassion. and new warnings from health officials as more states look to ease covid restrictions. this morning, dr. anthony fauci is saying, not so fast. even though the decline was steep, we absolutely need to avoid the urge to say, oh, everything is going great, which it is going in the right direction, but once you declare victory, that metaphor that people say, if you re going for a touchdown, don t spike the ball on the five-yard lane, wait until you get into the end zone. it all comes as u.s. vaccine efforts are picking up steam. yesterday the weekly average was brought to 2.5 million vaccines per day. joining me right now is white house principal deputy press secretary, karine jean-pierre, which is the most beautiful name in the world, we ll take it from there. the president is hitting the road to promote the details of the american rescue plan. does he feel he need to sell this more than he d
o donnell. it s nice to see you do these interviews because you are seemingly able to cover the ground you were never able to cover last year. i don t know exactly what the worry would have been from the trump administration about letting senior doctors come on a show that was hosted by somebody who they think is a terrible person. there s no harm that dr. fauci would have done to the trump administration by answering questions from me or from you while they were still here. i don t know what petty thing was driving that, but it was such a relief to be able to ask questions directly of the policymakers at the heart of these things and get real answers. it feels like we re finally doing the real work. of course, there was the constant pretending that covid-19 either wasn t so bad or was getting much better every day when it was getting much worse, so there was just that madness about trump world and the trump white house, and what is odd about it, i agree with you, is th
