covert pandemic but there is still a lot of back seen hesitancy here in the united states president joe biden says he's going to be working to try to convince every american to get vaccinated it's important u.s. health officials say because they claim that in order to get herd immunity here in the united states scene about 70 to 85 percent of the population totally vaccinated right now about 40 percent of all adults but clearly if you go to airports here in the united states you fly you travel at all you can really get a sense that americans feel that this pandemic they are turning a corner because a lot of people are now traveling again especially now that more than 100000000 americans are fully vaccinated ok thank you so much get these on though reporting from washington. well in just a few hours all adults in india will be eligible to get $1000.00 back scene but there is concern of some states saying they're run out running out of doses purana reports from the. money could goal sits by her husband's hospital bed just hours after she lost her mother to the 19 she's managed to find him

gerry: president joe biden continues his u.s. tour selling his tax-and-spend agenda, today in philadelphia the president promoted his infrastructure plan including $80 billion for rail, some of that will go to amtrak which has been losing money consistently over a long period of time. so is this yet another example of throwing taxpayer money problems? take a look at this. >> in my american jobs plan i propose spending $10 billion a year on passenger rail and freight rail. of this two thirds would support existing amtrak routes including the northeast corner but nationwide. were talking about union jobs, i said, were taking care of wiring switches, fixing bridges, tunnels, modernizing stations and repairing and rebuilding the vital infrastructure. gerry: for reaction let's bring in texas congresswoman beth van duyne. she's on the infrastructure committee, thank you for joining me. >> thank you for having me i appreciate the opportunity to answer these questions. gerry: we know the president loves trains he's like a kid with a viny

using a lot of language tht joe biden use deas, hamiltonian nationalist language. i think the whig party did a lot of good for this country and that's why i have faith in what biden is doing. >> woodruff: jonathan. >> capehart: judy i think the first wheuj days have been a success, the next 50 to 100 days could be a second. but whether the rest of the term is a success really depends on the republicans and how much they want to actually work with president biden to actually solve problems. there's too much of a competition mindset here in washington that, to do something to allow president biden to actually sign legislation into law is a victory for him and a loss for us. meaning republicans. as opposed to a victory for the country. the other thing is, what will determine whether president biden is a success is whether republicans decide to come to the table with real ideas. actual ideas that they can debate and discuss with the president, and compromise with the president to actually get something done. >> woodruff: zero sum game or something where the o sides can

president joe biden has said he was left a mess at the southern u.s. border by his predecessor donald trump claims he's gotten control of the records and migrant crossings but he admits he struggled to find many migrant children separated from their parents castro has more now from one in texas. this is a daily occurrence here on the texas mexico border hundreds of people have crossed the rio grande a river over night on rafts under the cover of darkness their short paddles across the water secured by payments of at least $2000.00 a head to the mexican cartels seeking to profit off of their desperation they've now turned themselves into u.s. border patrol agents so many have come that the agents have run out of buses to take them to the stations where they'll be processed they're tired they're frightened and they're wondering what will come next. we cross the river then walk for 2 hours because all of the agents and also. we crossed on a raft it all went bad i was in mud up to my waist and i lost all the documents. the men and women who traveled withou

. >> if i ever hear that joe biden's a moderate again, i'm going to throw up. >> use the word "crisis" i think 10 times in his talk last night but never once with reference to the border. >> there's a big full moon, looks almost orange outside tonight. what's that mean for us? >> good night and god bless the united states of america. >> bret: one week in washington. monday on "special report" leaders of the senate intelligence committee vowed to get to the bottom of the mysterious attacks that left u.s. personnel in cuba with traumatic brain injuries. we'll bring you that story. this weekend "fox news sunday" chris wallace will interview cecilia roush, chairman of the council of economic advisers plus louisiana senator bill cassidy. thank you for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. make it a great weekend. fox news primetime hosted by tammy bruce starts right now. >> tammy: welcome to fox news primetime! i'm tammy bruce. now, for the week, we've taken you inside the left playbook and we've revealed their secrets and schem

you know joe biden far better than i. that is what he does when he gets annoyed at the tone of the question. this issue seemed to hit a nerve. should it? >> oh, come on, neil. oh, no. [laughter] you know, he's human. i don't -- i don't mind some emotion. i'm sure he's found the whole border immigration question frustrating. because like me, he's for immigration, but i think also like me, he's not for open borders. there needs to be rules. yet there's been this real surge in immigrants trying to come across and in fact i saw a number the other day that in march, last month of this year, there were more interceptions of immigrants trying to come into the country illegally for the last 20 years. in other words, the last time the numbers were that high, 20 years ago. so it's frustrating to him. he's trying to combat it without seeming to break our tradition of welcoming immigrants like my grandparents and a lot of other people's parents and grandparents. >> neil: just wondering though, senator, what you make of the tact he's

joe biden press expressing confidence that all schools should probably be able to open. >> there's not overwhelming evidence that there's much of a transmission among young people. >> reporter: moderna is preparing to have their vaccine authorized by children, while the authorization for the same age group could come soon. the hope of expanding vaccine eligibility intensifies as vaccination rates slumps to its lowest level in weeks. a new cnn poll shows 26% of american adults still don't plan to try to get a shot at all. >> we are now increasingly focused on other groups that will take time to reach. and we expect the number of shots administered each day to moderate and fluctuate. >> reporter: all the vaccines we currently have on the market were brought here by emergency use authorization from the fda, dut dr. fauci is saying very soon we could see full fda approval for the pfizer vaccine and the moderna vaccine, and officials are really hopeful that that could help to boost confidence among some who are still hesitant. >> thank you so much. >>> still ahead, rudy giuliani, we're hear

joe biden's speech this week which was a radical argument for the state and spending to boost the economy was really interesting. but he has been described as a centrist, but he is always been a radical. he is one that lifted the speech about a thousand generations and the advance of the state as an enabler and i think it is interesting that people like george osborne and david cameron were described its interests. and in the us, you have someone perceived as that was actually doing a lot and terms of using the state as a benevolent force and the poll suggests its popular. force and the poll suggests its --oular. ~ ~' ., force and the poll suggests its “oulan . .. ., ., popular. well, i think from a british perspective, - popular. well, i think from a british perspective, i- popular. well, i think from a british perspective, i am - popular. well, i think from a | british perspective, i am very surprised. british perspective, i am very surprised-— british perspective, i am very surprised. for several weeks, british media _ surprised. for several weeks, british media have _ surprised. f

coming up, more on joe biden's tax plan as well as his spending plan with the cdo of -- with the ceo of pgm this is bloomberg. . >> >> i don't believe every tax cut is good. >> a lot of us were surprised to much of they were cut. >> we are coming off of a time when taxes were cut for corporations and individual tax increases were not responsible for corporate earnings. it looks like the economy is heading off to the races here. >> the incentive of the tax savings to make capital investment creates jobs and raises living standards. if they take these incentives away, i think it's insanity. >> that could have an impact on corporate taxes. >> from a corporation perspective, the amount of investment that actually gets made because people worry about what the text structure will become a we will have an issue. >> we are in for a great perio of growth andd economic activity around the world and the expectation is that will prevail over the text situation expected. >> we are used to paying taxes and if we have to pay a little more, that's fair and i think it's ok. >> i'm not surprised by an

neil: all right, so, the bloom is off that new administration rose between joe biden and the chamber of commerce, it wasn't expected to be all smooth , steve moore back with us , katherine rooney. steve, you know, you guys had your differences with the chamber as well, over other issues namely the trade battles, but this gets back to basics on taxes, and the chamber is worried this is going to have damaging effects on business, business hiring practices, do you agree with that? >> there's no question it will, neil. look we're living in a global economy. the american companies whether they're small businesses or american corporations are competing against china and japan, and germany, and france, and mexico. when we put our tax plan together for trump, we were looking at how do we enhance the competitiveness of our business, how do we make them tax competitive, how do we make them competitive in terms of trade and in terms of the regulatory burden and we lowered all of those , and it worked. i mean, my goodness i've got a figure for you, neil that you majority it not have heard before

urged to spread disinformation about joe biden. giuliani's lawyer denied where the former mayor got that briefing but nbc news starts by the reporting. joining me now jeremy bash, former chief of staff, cia and pentagon and attorney from chief counsel house intelligence committee as well. disinformation is a big deal and also the fact that rudy giuliani according to the fbi and "the new york times" account, the fbi, rather, was looking into the ukrainian push to get rid of maria vanovich. is this an alleged violation of the foreign lobbying laws or is there something more here? >> well, there appear to be two streams here to the fbi's investigation into activities involving rudy giuliani. the first is russian interference in the u.s. political system. obviously, this is a well-understood story by the u.s. intelligence community which has published assessments that show that russia obviously was involved in the 2016 election. but also was trying to influence the 2020 election. so there's a national security commission. i think the o

damaging to joe biden. now cnn previously reported that the white house and congress had been given these kinds of do you havive defensive briefings. but the new reporting from post says that giuliani was briefed in 2019 and then following that briefing, giuliani then went on a trip to ukraine and met with some of the officials who were later identified as being actors of russian intelligence. giuliani's attorney has not responded. >> so what is giuliani saying about this investigation and the raid? >> yeah. so last night giuliani was on fox. he gave the first interview about the fbi raid at his apartment just behind me on wednesday. and giuliani said that the officials there had seized seven or eight electronic devices. they came banging on doorthe do first thing in the morning. he was looking for dirt on joe biden and where he was pushing for the removal of the u.s. ambassador to ukraine. the question that prosecutors are looking at was that part of the effort that giuliani was undertaking on behalf of th

there i'm remundinded of someth that joe biden believed, first lesson of being president. you can set an agenda but it is impossible to be able to follow it day to day. simply because of things coming down the pike. in this case, there is a level environment legislative unpredictability that he is contending with that is going to make it very difficult. i wonder if you believe that he is pushing back a bit at this sort of caretaker idea. joe biden, veteran politician coming in. quiet things down post trump. i have a legacy here. i'm going big on family stuff, health care, gun reform, immigration. >> yeah, i think so. it's interesting. i started to hear that tone from him last summer. he started the cam ppaign sayin he wanted to be the caretaker tra transitional president. he said, no, i see myself in the challenge that fdr was facing. i think at the time people said how does that actually work? this is something he doesn't want to go down in hist rich. he didn't meet the challenge or the moment. that is why you begin to hear from him this much more ambitious and some ways,

biden has seen the opportunity to push it through. i think a lot of americans across the country are saying, you know what? more government isn't so bad right now. we've been really scared. alix: this is quite interesting because when we are starting to talk to some european strategists, they are highlighting that there's a lot of election risk coming in 2022 in europe, which is also when we will have the midterms, and to see what is happening particularly in germany with the green party, and in france with macron. guy: absolutely. it could be a three-way race in france. politics is going to be the big story out of europe next year. you've got the recovery that is kind of underway, but the politics, does that recovery come strongly enough to impact the politics? there's a lot to play for your. you completely remake german politics, european politics, and you could remake french politics. is the european trade a tactical one? in that political background, maybe. alix: let's get right to the details now. david westin is joined now by gi

joe biden, now president of the united states. hillary clinton, bob gates, leon panetta, mike mullen around the room and the president asked for final recommendations as to whether or not to go ahead and the room was split. and you know, we put it on our president, right, and i walked back to the oval office with him after the -- after the meeting and he had told the group that he would have this the next day, which would have been this morning, 10 years ago and i remember watching him walk back to the mansion from the west wing of the white house and really striking me, all of us that we put the tremendous decisions on the shoulders of one person and we had an e-mail, and the president wanted to be in the situation room, you look out at the tremendous vistas of washington and came in and said i've made the decision, it's a raid and i have gathered there with bill daley, chief of staff and john brennan then the counterterrorism director and would go on to be cia director and a chief of staff and made the decision, it's the raid. d

mario: that is a tough lift for president biden. not only is he facing republican opposition, republicans are staunchly opposed to any type of tax increases, but he also has to keep his party in line. moderate democrats like joe manchin, kyrsten sinema, mark kelly, they are going to have pressure on them as republicans continue to try to attack both the president and attack them with the midterm elections coming up. he really has to convince his party to stick with him. jonathan: a rock and a hard place. the moderates who want more -- the progressives who want more, the moderates who want less. who's got the louder voice? mario: that's one of the problems, one of the challenges facing president biden. he's gotten relatively high marks from his party so far. he's on i think day 102 now. but he's had some disappointment from the left flank. the $15 an hour men among wage, if you recall that debate a couple of months back. student loan forgiveness as well. so he is facing some pressure from the leftward flank of his party. whether or n

joe biden or barack obama? barack obama i think beat him by 12 or 15 points, which when you look at their legislation, there's no comparison at this point. if you landed on earth and said, who is the more progressive of the two, if you look at what they've done in the first hundred days is joe biden. when you look at objective strategy, tone and manner, that's why he's getting it done. when you want to get something dramatic done, you don't scream, you whisper. and i think his tone has been so pitch perfect. >> joe biden held a drive-in rally yesterday in duluth, georgia. joining us now, the chairman of the democratic national committee, jamie harrison who was with the president yesterday. good to see you this morning. let's get your snapshot of these first 100 days from president biden. what he's done, what he's proposing to do, and the ambitious agenda that he's laid out. >> well, thank you so much for having me, willie. listen. it is so refreshing to be able to go to bed at night and wake up in the morning a

steve: joe biden hopped on board air force one. he flew down to georgia. he saw jimmy carter because jimmy carter was unable to go to the inauguration. then he went over to duluth in georgia where he had one of his now famous drive-in rallies. and essentially what he did was he thanked the people of georgia for delivering a senate majority, which made possible this gigantic ambitious economic plan where he is spending a lot of money, ainsley. ainsley: a lot of money, y'all. and he is taxing individuals. is he increasing the capital gains tax. actually doubling it. the income tax rate is going to go from 37% to 39.6. brian: nothing is green lighted yet. ainsley: eliminating loopholes for corporate tax codes and increasing taxes on corporations from 21% to 28%. many are scared corporations will leave our country and with that jobs will be gone. brian? brian: yeah, i mean, that's what he wants. i don't know what he is going to get. joe manchin among others saying i don't really -- i'm not going to spend all this. here's what he said yesterday. >> that's why i

joe biden wants to reverse that. joe biden wants to double -- take capital gains tax rates up to the highest level in modern history and the market seems to be sleeping through these announcements. but are they betting that it just won't happen? >> i think it's 50/50 that it happens, dagen. i don't like tax increases. the market tends to not like tax increases. especially capital gains tax increases. you probably could pull some profits forward if it looks like that's going to go through. people would bank some profits between now and the end of the year before the tax takes effect, unless they make it retroactive. i don't think there's much out there that will derail the secular market. dagen: do you think the tax increases go through? i think raising -- i think certainly doubling the capital gains tax rate even if it's on people who earn more than $1 million a year would kill even -- would kill a rally, would kill a move up in stocks. i can't see it otherwise. james: you certainly would hope that some -- perhaps wh

he has invented a way to make joe biden no longer the president. to reinstate donald trump as president of the united states.e we are today at 100 days into od the joe biden presidency, president was in georgia today to celebrate the accomplishments of his first 100 days, including the historic big legislation he was already able to pass, thanks to georgia voters picking two democratic senators to send to c washington to work alongside president biden to give him the majorities he needed in both the house and senate, to get the big covid relief act done and to d hopefully in the administration's eyes, to get the infrastructure bill, the voting rights bill, the policing reform bill, the american families plan, and all these other things they want to get p passed. tonight, we're going to be talking history in terms of just how ambitious biden's agenda is, as laid out in the state of the union and as we have seen over the first 100 days. when you compare that with other modern presidents, when you look at the markers from other modern presidents about

biden my mind is joe biden has always always been a consensus democrat he will basically be where the democratic party is kind of wherever it goes and so in that in that sense i agree with liz it does not surprise me greatly that this is where he has ended up i was telling a lot of people in kind of intradermal craddick party discussions you know during the primaries that that this is this is where i thought that you know where i thought that he would be look there's some obvious things with joe biden look joe biden is old he's an old white catholic man who has a very kind of genie all personality even people who are trying to demonize him now a hard time getting past that barack obama was a young black man with a foreign sounding name rooted in arabic. is a very different people right it's not surprising to me at all that that that things you know he is a different person american politics reacts to those 2 different kinds of people differently i think that that's just you know that that is just obvious the other thing is and this is one of those examples of sometimes a flawed person
