>>house is taking aim full story in the u.s. economy and one way the president wants to do that is through an executive order to make the nation's supply chain more resilient our washington dc correspondent basal john joins us now live with details on how this will help the country good evening yes. well earlier today, president biden met with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to discuss how they can further strengthen the u.s. supply chain and support the idea of more jobs in communities around the country. >>the american people should never face shortages in the goods and services they rely on wednesday president biden signed an executive order directing a 100 day review of the u.s. supply chain and met

with a bipartisan group of lawmakers about ways to work together but we had a very good meeting the president the vice president talking about the. >>importance of. having dependable supply chains texas republican senator john cornyn so the need to address the issue is something both parties agree on we all understand this is important not only to our economy but also to the to our national security white house press secretary jen psaki says the executive action will protect the country against shortages of critical supplies. grow the economy and maintain america's competitive edge in the world ensuring that can withstand crises and create good paying jobs in the process senate majority leader chuck schumer says semiconductor manufacturing is a weak spot for the u.s. economy. >>this is a technology. the united states created we ought to be leading the world and schumer applauds the executive order legislation on the issue to protect american industries from unfair competition from countries like china for

decades china has effectively ceased cheated and stolen its way to economic growth engaging in brazen theft of american intellectual property. >>now the biden administration says it will stay in close contact with congress to receive recommendations during the review. reporting in late reporting live in washington, i'm basil john baseball, you know big concern about the vaccination supply with how will this focus on supply chains. help deal with the pandemic. well you remember from the beginning of the pandemic there was an issue when it came to supply and demand with specially when it was with ppe so a lot of those gloves and masks hand sanitizer and also there was an issue with the actual race of getting a vaccine out the white house actually quoted some numbers earlier the stated that more than 70% of pharmaceutical ingredients production facilitators supplying the u.s. was

offshore and was outside of the country so that ended up contributing to the delay in him getting new supplies getting those ingredients that were necessary for combating the virus so not only is this going to be able to assist the actual process of getting more of that supply in but it is also supposed to be a long-term boon for the economy to get back to where it was before the pandemic faisal thank you for that update for us from washington. >>a major challenge regarding the president's relief bill, the ongoing feud over a national minimum wage our catherine heenan of inside bay area politics is here now with the latest on that castro will the fate of that part of the relief package, particularly very much in question internal disputes are continuing. >>in the meantime if and when national minimum minimum wage of $15. >>does take hold the country will essentially be playing catch-up with california. the state of course is the first to commit to raising the

minimum wage to $15 for everybody by 2023. >>some pockets of the state including san francisco already have a minimum wage of at least $15 in place. one argument though for national rate, california would no longer be competing with areas of the country that payless sometimes far less a uniform nationwide rate would remove that disadvantage. but republican senators were lining up again today to argue the proposal is a deal breaker one that would kill off too many already pandemic stress businesses. what does that do. >>obviously puts a lot out of business, but it also raises the cost of everything else that's got to get passed on. don't believe us the congressional budget office which is the scorekeeper the referee if you will when it comes to these issues has said that it would cost the economy one 0.4 million jobs. i do believe there's bipartisanship to move the minimum wage up in a more responsible fashion and i would urge president biden

if you can't find common ground here you're not looking hard enough. >>democratic senator bernie sanders argues one way or the other a nationwide increase is critical. >>god knows. there are 10's of millions of workers now we're dependent on raising the minimum per able to do >>so right now lawmakers are waiting for a key ruling from senate officials on whether the proposed wage boost can even remain part of this bill. this is based on some very complicated senate rules they could find out late tonight or tomorrow, pam and ken. >>all right katherine, thank you for that well a windy and warm day around the bay area today really makes you want to go out and take a long walk outside you know it was so windy, pam. that us on animal scoring down the sidewalk in san francisco. then i realized it was somebodys wig that had blown off and was just how blowing down the street, this is. >>i just made >>i was thinking the same as ends up to something right now

efforts in congress to try to save the nation's postal system. >>the u.s. postal service is facing financial disaster, congressman jerry connelly says a big part of the problem is the post office is required to pre fund retiree benefits 75 years in advance the money sits on the treasury account waiting the from the health benefits of those. >>not yet born even when it could be used to fortify a struggling postal service representative carolyn maloney says the solution should include medicare integration. the draft bill would require current employees to enroll in medicare. >>when they reach 65 right retirees to are already over 65 would be given a 3 month period to enroll with no penalty but kentucky republican congressman james comer says the post office promised greater benefits to employees. >>and the underlying problem is with the business model demand for first class mail has plunged and costs have stayed the same. no business.
