The table. It is a good thing that we have not seen anything like this. We should not be watching it now. Listening to you on the way here hearing an officer died on the line of duty because of an insurrection is Mind Boggling and even fathom. Members of the Law Enforcement community is starting their visitation and thats what they are doing now. I would imagine the president of the United States should be along soon. He arrived. We watched the motorcade. No, he has not visited but we saw the motorcade. Listen, i have been receiving words from Law Enforcement and even Law Enforcement with the Capitol Police and surrounding Police Department and they are happy that we are carrying this. This is an honor to them that we pay tribute to this fallen officer. So many officers were fighting for their lives on january 6th. We are endangered of losing their lives had they not exhibited such heroic effort to save the capitol. They did save a lot of lives inside that capitol, members of the senate, members of congress, and i think you pointed this out earlier. This is a Scene Of The Crime where he is laying in honor right now. The Scene Of The Crime where theyll be voting on impeachment for the president. It is surreal to think that we are actually watching this happening in our country at this moment. It is. As we await the president s arr arrival. Yep, as soon as he comes up well pay strict attention to it. I think that we always say, don, we are living in historic times and here is another never before, not since 1812 anyone dare tried to come to the hospital. Never before i have seen the same men and women being protected that this man gave his life pchlt we just had the congressional leadership came up and paid respect. I hope they remember what they hold so dear and solemn inside this room. We are not living the truth of january 6th. And we want to talk about that. I want to focus now for the moment on officer brian d. D. Sicknick. His family releasing a statement th tha thanking, hes laying in honor. Hes deserving of it. We have to remember the other officer as well. There was one officer who suffered a heart attack and brain injuries. He was fighting for his life and he heard people say take his gun. He believed at that moment that they were going to kill him unless he started to bargain with them and say listen i have a family, you know . Hoping that would stop the them from doing the worse and pa apparently at that moment it did work. I am paraphrasing and i wish you had not been here in the first place. Tonight, yes, the senate and the congress should be doing their jobs and thinking of what theyre going to be doing and what should be doing. This is honor of Men And Women In Uniform all over this country but especially those who are in the washington, d. C. Area who fought so valiantly to protect the capitol and protect everyone inside and continue to do it every single day. President bidens motorcade has arrived. We are waiting for him to enter the rotunda to pay his respect to Officer Sicknick. The president wants the officers to go first and be with one of their own and give them that position of priority because they were there first protecting. Any men or women who were there that day could be receiving this salute instead of giving them. It is good that they get to go first. You have to honor the officer but you have to honor why he die by learning the lesson of this. I have covered many of these. I think as we listen to this, keep your eyes to the door on the left of the screen to the top, capital hill and the time stamp here. Members of Law Enforcement are now entering and paying their respects and you know we dont have control of this camera. This is a pool camera to get close ups and see whos exactly there. Chris, i want you to think about as we watch these Men And Women In Uniform paying their respects and what we have gone through and watching this particular place, went through an insurrection. We had an inauguration and now we have a fallen officer laying at the capitol. These are times that people write about in the History Books and we are living in that time right now. It is an interesting ceremony. They circle the officer and they come up in a line and salute. Thats a powerful embrace of one of their own. Literally surrounding them in the sense of honor of their own duty and they come by detachment of different aspects of Capitol Police. The president is on premise, we are waiting for him to come and be our collect ive consciou in this solemn moment. This is not lying in state but this is lying in honors. An honor like this is reserved for u. S. Government. Two u. S. Officers were shot to death to lie in honor in the capitol and it is a rare occurrence and i think everyone in the audience will agree with me lets hope it never happens again that we lose an officer to an insurrection. An attack on our democracy is the worse of the worse. It is an attack on our freedom and liberty and our personal attack on everything that we believe in and this officer, this hero died trying to protect that i should not say trying to, they did protect it. After this insurrection happened, you and i witnessed live on television, members of the senate and the Congress Going back into the halls where they had been hiding just hours before and had fear for their lives and they went and completed their constitutional duties of certifying the electoral votes, certifying the election that happened on november 7th, 2020. It was honorable that they went back even at a time where i dont know how you can be completely certain tha remainin had been left behind. It also must be remembered of what january 6th was about is that after we saw an angry mob that represented the worst of us tried to break in and stop the democratic proceedings. You had 140 or so members of one party stand up to echo the lie that brought the insurrection in the first place. Right on. Cnns dana bash is joining us now from washington. You have covered this and watching this all unfold, you are there in washington, i want to hear your thoughts on whats happening now and the emotion that people are feeling in washington, d. C. Right now especially as it relates to this event. Heavy. Very heavy. You know, the people who walk the capitols campus everyday and i was one of them for a couple of decades, you get to know these officers certainly by face or not by name and you come to rely on them as a protector and a friendly face. Officer sicknick was somebody who was one of those and everything changed for all of these officers, for everybody in that building in that day and now because he gave the ultimate sacrifice in trying to protect the people in that building, hes now lying in honor and hes only the fifth person in americas history to do so. Hes in the company of rosa parks and hes in the company of reverend billy graham. As you mentioned earlier, don, two officers who similarly gave their lives to protect the capitol back in 1998, officer chestnut and detective john gibson. So this is an important moment of history and it is a solemn moment and a reminder of just how rare it is to be seeing what we are seeing. Dana, you cover not only the people but the events inside this building as i said, you cover them so well for quite some time. Lets think about it this way, hes returning to the very building that he protected for over a decade where he received those lifethreatening injuries protecting the legislative branch, i should they fatal injuries, for the last time hes returning to the place he served, thats powerful to think about. Absolutely. It is incredibly powerful to think about. It is powerful to watch, you can feel it and as we discuss what we are seeing you can it is palpable, i have been in tha t ro ro r rotunda. But, somebody who was literally in the line of duty and gave his life in order to protect and not just to protect from so many of the threats that we think about when we walk those halls and i certainly did after 9 11, for example, from International Forces but from within, from people inside the United States, american citizens storming the capitol while members of congress were doing their constitutional duty in order to certify the Electoral College and these people were doing so In The Name Of the president of the United States forging ahead based on lies that he continues to tell and those who were his supporters did as well. Thats what makes this even more Heart Wrenching thats the reason why we are watching this solemn moment. You know, chris, i have been conversing with our colleague, josh campbell, a former fbi agent. He said to me there is no job in washington like a Capitol Police officer. It is supposed to be the peoples house welcoming a normal time for people to see their representatives. I think people want to the peoples house to get back to that. We have gone so far and especially since january 6th. This is a reminder of whats at stake that we are watching on our screen right now. We are. We are seeing the best of us right now, the men and women who took an oath to defend us and protect and serve. They did just that at a time this country needed most. I dont think it could beover stated and i think this is the right thing to be done for Officer Sicknick and the right thing to be done at this time. You can argue just too long a month later for us to recognize the gravity of this moment as a day. Y yet, we have never seen anything like this before. You said, don, hopefully well never see anything like this again. I have no securitiy in that ide right now. Things have not gotten better since january 6th and as for people being the peoples house as it is. If we can get back to being the peoples business and how much progress and productivity can be made instead of how much anger and fermenting of different interests, you have to believe it will get to a better place. Thats what makes someone like Adam Kinzinge r an intriguing figure right now. People are going against their inclination of what they think is right. You covered this. Joe biden has four children, first daughter, naomi and christina died and his son beau biden died in 2015. Talk about someone that knows grief. Thats this president and it is in exact contrast of the last president. Joe biden knows grief and he knows empathy. I think ch hopefully he can b consuling chief. Absolutely, we saw him did that in his role throughout the summer when he during the riots and when he had moments he could be that person. We saw him at cnns town hall. There is the president and the first lady arriving. I think we should just listen and let them pay their respects. President biden and first lady, jill biden, paying respects to Officer Sicknick, protecting the capitol. Dana bash and chris cuomo is with me as well. Chris, dana is talking about empathy as joe biden came in. Hes a very religious man. Going over and looking at the flowers and shaking his head and a collective sigh across the country. A moment that made me tear up, i cant believe where we are. Hopefully, well get beyond to where we are. Speak ing of the president o his faith, he keeps it very simple. His faith and these matters come down in two words, love mercy. And, it is a very ample instruction no matter what you believe right now. It is the highest ideal in our society and democracy. There are so much pain in the capitol right now. So much pain in his family, so much pain in his Brothers And Sisters who did the job. The shame of it as if we dont learn the lesson or dont honor the sacrifice by getting to a better place and we have not done that since january 6th. For those who want to honor the officer, good, should. But for those in power who want to do the same, we omnivnly kno what they show in their intentions and there after. Chris, thank you very much for helping us through this. You have done a fantastic job covering this before. Again, as i told you we were getting thank yous from Law Enforcement and you happen to be in the air. You are going to leave me with dana bash. Chris, thank you so much. I love you, brother. I love you, i would not want to be anywhere else. Thank you. Dana bash. 36 years joe biden had been walking these halls with Capitol Police. Thats what i was thinking about because i met senator biden when he was in those halls day a day and he was for three and a half decades during some of his toughest times and during some of his best times, he had officers like these, like Officer Sicknick there to protect him just like those officers protecting those 99 senators he served with. You were talking about empathy and about the fact that because he had so much pain in his own life and for other reasons hes inherently so empathetic but this is another level and layer of that because these Capitol Police officers were apart of his life for so many years as the United States senator. Dana, i want to remind our viewers we are watching laying in honor officer brian sicknick, member of the Capitol Police who lost his life in the line of duty. We saw the first lady paying their respects and now you have members of the Law Enforcement community doing the same thing. I want to get dana standby. I want to get to cnns kaitlan collins. She joins us now by phone. Kaitlan is our chief white house correspondent. This was very important for the president of the United States to be here and to do this. We know his respect for Law Enforcement and how he has dealt with grief after the loss of two children. Thats right. Tomorrow actually would have been beau bidens birthday. I heard the conversation you and dana had about of the grief that the president knows all so well. We had an idea from officials but this was not on the schedule until he left the white house earlier tonight and made his way up there to may respects. We did know President Biden called the family. That was the point where the white house delayed and lower the flags. Of course, President Trump was still in office. President biden called the family and spoke with them as well. We had an idea that this could be happening and you saw other leaders that were there and Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi as they were bringing in his remains to lie in honor. It is notable as dana was saying that this was a rare distinction for someone to get. It is a rare circumstance and events that are happening on capitol hill and washington. White house officials have been planning this for a few days. Kaitlan, thank you very much. We appreciate your reporting. Dana bash, thank you for joining me on this historic evening to cover the death and honor of brian sicknick, the officer who lost his life in the line of duty on the insurrection on capitol hill. Well continue to follow this new story, the president of the United States, the first lady just paid honor to the phenofallen officer moments ago. There is a lot going on and we need to talk about. We need to talk about the covid crisis in this country. More than 30 million vaccines have been administered so far. What does it mean for you at home . When will things get back to normal . I am going to have a special guest up next here on cnn tonight, dr. Anthony fauci joins me next. It is love, love, love that makes it all worthwhile and it is love, love, love that cant help but make you smile. It is love, love, love. Send the love. Order now at edible.

Com tv and never go to the post office again. The white house is saying 21 national Fpharmacy Chains including cvs and walgreens begin to distributing vaccines. A lot to discuss with dr. Anthony fauci. Good to see you doctor, thank you so much for appearing. The federal government will start sending supplies directly to pharmacipharmacies. Tell us how it is going to work and what it means for people at home watching right now . St that means an easy access. You mentioned one shipping vaccine doses to pharmacies so people can go to their pharmacies and get them, easily, the way you would get anything in a pharmacy and the next is to open up Community Vaccine center and to do so aiming at areas where it is under representation of facilities to get people such as minorities, brown and black people dont have the ease to get to some of the other facilities and using mobile units to get to assessable areas. A, you want to make it easy to get vaccines done and pharmacies good way to do it but you also want to have equity, we dont have any some demographic groups to have availability to the vaccines. Lets talk about why this is taken so long. The need for the Vaccine Supply is dire. I know everyone is working really hard. Why is it taking so long to get more doses distributed, doctor . You know it is just a question of productions and speed and capability of doing it. As we get into middle of february or march and april, the number of doses that are going to be available are going to be greatly accelerated. There were few Relativity Speaking doses and it was complicated by logistic glitches and getting it into the arms of people. Supply does not meet demand. We got to get more vaccines into people and we got to make sure we use every possibility of gettin getting doses out there. There are other companies that coming in applying to the fda for emergency use authorization, such as the recent data from johnson johnson. Soon there will be novavak. So things are going to get better. So you said every possibility of getting it as much out there. Moderna is increasing the number of doses per vile by 50 . What do you think of that . It is a good idea. It is the same space to get these needles for the pfizer product where if you thick it in there, you can get an extra six dose out of a five dose bottle. Right away you are talking about 16 or so more than you would have had. If you can get more doses in there, that really is interesting. It seems trivia l. So anything that we can do to increase the number of doses is value added. We have been talking a lot and heard a lot from the experts like you and others about whos more susceptible, older people, people with preexisting conditions and so far. There is a new study from london and it suggests that younger adults are the biggest spreader of coronavirus. Does that mean states need to vaccinate younger people more and will it change the strategy of getting peel vaccinated . The thing you want to be careful of when you are talking about spreading it, it was 20 or 49 years old. We were getting the surges in our own country. Those with underlying conditions had a risk of getting more r severe disease. You reported on them clearly on your program. That was driven by young people. There is always a strategy, make sure those young people can vaccinate. You dont want to do it at the expense, getting vaccinated. You dont want them to get i want to talk to you about another study. This one is out of the u. K. Suggests that people who have had covid 19 are likely to have antibodies for at least six months. 99 of participants had antibodies for three months. I dont know what it means, it sounds good but whats the take away there . The take away is that you are protected. If you are infected and if you have anybody that lasts for a while. Thats good. You are being protected by the same virus that initially infected you. One of the things we are finding out with these mutants in america. Although it is good news of the report you just read out to me that you do have three or six months or more of anybody which likely will be protective. We got to make sure we keep our eyes out on those variants. You have joined us on one of our town halls and you do the town hall with us with curry and anderson. What does that tell you . Well, that tells me the sad reality, don, that brown and black people have a higher incident of infection to begin with and the data that you have not mentioned that they have much more of a chance of a eyeas outcome. It is sad but true in our country where you have disparity of health. You have a more likely chance of getting infected because the jobs that you likely have would put you out to the community doing essential things that expose you to infections. Once you get infected, the likelihood of getting a serious income because it is likely that you will have Hyper Tension and diabetes and obesity and things like that. So really we have to address which is, you know, this outbreak sheds a big bright light on health. We really have to address that. It has to do with the socially determined of health that brown and black people have little power to move or change. If we look forward after this south break, maybe a multi decade commitment to address those social determed. Doctor, i want to continue on with this conversation. If you can just standby, i would really appreciate it. There are much fewer black people getting the vaccine across the country. Well talk about that next with dr.

You talked about equity earlier. People who have gotten the first dose are most likely to be female and nonhispanic whites and at least 50yearsold, how does this get sick when we know black people and minority of color are dying. Two things we need to address. We need to increase their vaccines and fort lupton those who want to get vaccinated to make it easy for them to get vaccinated. The other thing we have to address is the issue of vaccine hesi hesitancy. It gets past from generation to generation about not trusting the federal Government Medical program. The way we get beyond that hesitancy hesitancy. Explaining the safe guard had been put in place since then making it virtually impossible for those types of violations to occur in todays world. Then to go with them and explain to them why it is safe and effective and why it is important for them and their family and community to get vaks n vaccinated. It is a conversation of reaching out to them. And we understand the he sitanc. I am glad that you said vaccine hesitancy, it does not mean people of color are antivaxes. Right. So, minority americans are more likely to serve, in essential worker roles. The mayor blasio is calling Restaurant Workers to be added to Restaurant Workers. Which includes groups like first responders. Governor cuomo shot that idea down yesterday. Should it happen as we restricts are rolling back. I think it is reasonable just the same way as teachers, we want to get teachers in that mix of essential workers. Those people who are represented by minority communities. Theyre the ones thats getting sick. If you look at the rate of hospitalization per thousands in the population, it is multifull difference. You cant run away from the data and it gets translated into more debts which there are a couple more. Sickness and illness and hospitalization and deaths, whatever we can do, don, to address that or mitigate that we should dough. Whether it is reaching out to them, getting it vaccinated quickly, we are all for that. I know you are concerned. Your first concern is the Health Aspects of this and there is also the economic, in door twine and in doordining. Thats starting valentines day. Is that a good idea or is it too risky in. Hopefully by that time well see a plateau coming down in the number of infections per day. Thats done carefully with masking of the personnel, with making sure if you do in door dining, you do it in a space wave where you dont have people d sitting next to each other. In my own area where i live here in p. C. , what you see is some of the restaurants which extended by putting a tenth around but having good air flow. All kinds of Creative Things like that. We all are sensitive to the Economic Impact that adhering to Public Health measures. People think sometimes that bl are very empathetic, we have to maintain the Public Health measures if we are going to get our arms around this break. I think helping the owners of the restaurants and enterprises that are impacted by the Public Health measures. It would be having we are in favor of. Thats what the relief pack is all about. You know what Everyone Wants to know. They want to know when well get back to normal . Once a person gets vaccinated, what can they do . Back to normal. It is going to be a cohort effect. What i mean by a cohort effect, don, is that you cant look at yourself in a vacuum, like im vaccinated and when can we get back to normal. Well, normal is a societal thing. So what we mean, if you want our society to get back to normal, you have to get about 70 to 85 of the population vaccinated, because if you do that, notwithstanding the variants which we will have to address in a second, but if you can get people protected and get an umbrella of what we called herd immunity, the level of infection is going to go very, very low down in the community and in society. At that point, the entire community could start getting back to normal, and namely doing things that each and every person would want to do. Maybe not 100 back to normal, but at least approaching normal. I think if we do it right, if we really efficiently and effectively get people vaccinated, we can do that by the end of the summer, the beginning of the fall. Having said that, don, there is an absolute but in that. The but is that we have to address the variants. If the variants and the mutations come and start becoming dominant, then thats going to obviate some of the effect of the vaccine. The best way to avoid that is to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible, because viruses dont mutate if they dont replicate. The only way a virus mutates, if you can replicate. So if you vaccinate people and double down on Public Health measures and keep the level of viral dynamics low, we will not have an easy evolution into mutations. Thats something that people really need to understand. The way you stop those mutations, get vaccinated and abide by the Public Health measures. Hey, doctor, im up against the clock here, but if you can answer this question really quickly for me. I hate to give it short solicit. We take viewer questions. This is from a friend of mine with diabetes. She wants to know when can people with Underlying Health conditions get vaccinated. Thats her question. When the vaccine comes your way, get vaccinated. Having an underlying condition right now, were talking about the next level of people 16 to 64 who have underlying conditions will be the next group that will be on the line, on the queue of getting vaccinated. That should be quite soon. Dr. Anthony fauci. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you for the work that you do and we hope that you will come back. Be safe. Thank you very much, don. Good to be with you. Yes. Next, a closeddoor meeting on capitol hill. How do you solve a problem like Marjorie Taylor greene .

Kevin mccarthy meeting Behind Closed Doors for hours tonight with congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene over her racist, islam owe Phobia Theories but no decision on whether to strip her of her Committee Assignments over her incendiary rhetoric. Amanda, so good to see you. Why are mccarthy and the party having a hard time dealing with Marjorie Taylor greene . They have an easier time attacking liz cheney for backing impeachment. What is going on here . Im worried. I think the leaders in the party are having a hard time about trying to figure out where to draw the line when it comes to these conspiracydriven lies. You know, i watched the first hour of your show and i was reflecting on that really moving ceremony for Officer Sicknick. And i was just thinking to myself, oh, my god, don, this officer was killed because of politicallydriven del delusional lies. At the same time you have Kevin Mccarthy down the hallway Behind Closed Doors who doesnt know what to do with the poster girl for delusional, politicallydriven lies. Okay. Theres no question of what she said. It is on videotape. It wasnt like she was in high school. It was a couple of years ago, and it just wasnt just crazy. It was cruel. It was heartless. She has no remorse, and now they still dont know what to do about it . I feel like, you know, theres a big debate about what is happening with the republican party. It is dead. It is rotten. It is devoid of ideas if the leaders like Kevin Mccarthy cant think of a better way to court a Political Base than to appeal to the trump, Marjorie Taylor greene, qanon crowd of thats where we are right now. You made me think of something. Kids, young people i should say who make mistakes, who have done things on social media and said things that they should not have said, they get harsher punishment than Marjorie Taylor greene so far. We have to see what comes of this meeting, but so far many of them i shouldnt say many of them, but a number are not allowed into colleges or they lose their jobs and so on and so forth, but it has not happened to Marjorie Taylor greene. One concern i believe, and maybe it is why among gop members, punishing them for things they did before winning their election. Thats according to two officials with direct knowledge of the meeting. Should that make a difference . Listen, theres things that people said, maybe they made a mistake, you show remorse. Shes shown no remorse. It is on tape. And she has done it over and over and over. Yeah, and pick which one. Is it the 9 11 trutherism . Is it the big election lie . Is it the parkland, you know, false flag thing . I mean that is really the most objectionable, and this is just an open shut case. It should not be hard, right . Like they have a process. They know how to do this with steve king. They stripped him of committees and they made it clear that the political Organizing Committees would not support him in future elections. The model is easy to follow, but for some reason theres some hesitation there. What is it . Why is this taking so long . This has been hanging out for weeks. It has been hanging out for months and months, because kevin hy
