States. The president late today making it plain in a tweet from maralago that when it comes to getting the Covid Vaccine into the arms of those who need it most, its not his problem. Its up to the states, he says, to distribute the vaccines once brought to the designated areas by the federal government. Read that as not his problem. So even as he rightly takes pride in the remarkable federal effort to develop not one but two vaccines in record time, hes not taking responsibility for the fact that promises like theses just arent being kept. Overall in the month of december between the two vaccines, the pfizer and moderna vaccine, we expect to have immunized 20 million of our American People and keeping 20 million for their second immunization a few weeks later. That was the promise two weeks ago, 20 Million People immunized. Then just four days later, the language, listen for this, changed and the goalposts moved. We remain on track to allocate around 20 million doses of vaccine to all jurisdictions by the end of december with distribution of those doses pushing into the first week of january. Thats not the same thing. From 20 Million People immune ie immunized to 20 million doses allocated. Only about 11 million doses of vaccine have actually been distributed and of that 11 million, only 2. 1 million so far have been administered. Heres what president elect biden said about those sad facts today. Even if we boost the speed of vaccinations to 1 million shots today, it will still take months to have the majority of the United States population vaccinated. Ive directed my team to prepare a much more aggressive effort with more federal involvement and leadership to get things back on track. Well find ways to boost the pace of vaccinations. This is going to be the greatest operational challenge weve ever faced as a nation, but were going to get it done. The current president , however, is laying that challenge off on the states, without enough advance funding or followthrough needed, experts say, to make it all work. Dr. Ashish jha said the worst part is no real planning on what happens when vaccines arrive in states, no plan, no money, just hope that states will figure this out. He continues, states are out of money. So many are passing it on to hospitals, nursing homes. Does any of this sound familiar to you, like our National Testing debacle being repeated, he says. He is frustrated and among Public Health professionals, hes not alone. The biggest limitations that were seeing are the actual infrastructure that needs to be put in place to get these vaccines out to the communities. That is a massive overhaul and we should have been starting to put that infrastructure in place six, seven, eight months ago. Again, 20 million vaccinations promised by year end, only 11 million shipped, not given, not administered, and a little more than 2 million actually into the arms of those who need it. At that rate, as our guest last night put it, this country will not be fully vaccinated until the year 2050 at that slow rate. When faced with that, you would think the president might see the need for the same kind of federal priority effort to vaccinate people that did, granting credit where credit was due here, that did work so well in developing the vaccines, most of which is still sitting in refrigerators, in warehouses , T Manufacturing facilities, instead of where its needed. His priorities are elsewhere, at lease they were today, sunday, last thursday and friday, more than 300 other days since taking office. Thats right, on the golf course again. Perspective from kathleen sebelius. With us as well, epidemiologist and member of the Biden Covid Task force celine gounder. Thank, jim. Dr. Gounder, if i could begin with you, the vaccine rollout today, essential to where it stands, what is your view . Are you pessimistic about where we stand today and how quickly this could be turned around . Look, jim, we came into this process really wanting to enter into this with good faith, give everybody the benefit of the doubt, and weve really held back while weve done our due diligence. What we have learned is essentially there is no plan. The plan was to purchase vaccines and then leave it to the states. That was the plan. The states need to have guidance on how to distribute the vaccine, how to store the vaccine, how to go about having Health Care Workers provide the vaccine. None of those plans were in place. So we are, unfortunately, yet again finding ourselves really flat footed here. Secretary sebelius, you have great experience having led a state but also served under hhs, is a system in place in many or most states to distribute Something Like this . Had a doctor on earlier this week who made the point that so much of the burden is being put on private pharmacy chains, like cvs, basically, let you guys distribute this and real questions as to whether they can do that. Is the infrastructure in place to make this happen . Well, jim, i think celine said it well. The infrastructure is not in place. There has never been a federal plan for testing, to gather ppe. Now we are at the place of vaccine nati vaccination. Its very exciting the private industry and government came together to accelerate the vaccines. This is the most dangerous relay race we have ever been involved in as a country. When you think about a relay race, what should be happening is that the team in place right now, the trump team, who will be in place for 22 more days, god help us all, should be running through the tape as fast as possible, gathering all the resources, making sure the states have all the help and support they need to get the vaccine to the locations where they can begin vaccinating people, including money. And the biden team is beginning to run to catch that baton when theyre both in motion. Whats happened is the trump team has stopped running. I would say about the 7th of november when this election was called, donald trump stopped being the president. The Covid Task Force hasnt met since the 19th of november, thats five weeks ago. Trump stopped being president seven weeks ago. And we do not have the infrastructure in states. I live in a rural state. There are five cold storage facilities. Our governor didnt know how many vaccines she would get. The number changed a couple of times. She wasnt sure which vaccine she would receive and that depends on storage. She isnt shes supposed to figure out all of the logistics from getting it to the storage places to the most remote parts of the state. When the numbers arent certain, she cant put the right people on notice to say line up your staff tomorrow, will you have x number of doses. Her numbers have changed three different times. So, no, the infrastructure isnt there and the president just two days ago finally signed the bill that congress again passed giving Additional Resources to the states, they are desperate for money. They could hire people to get the logistics right, to begin the mobilize the vaccinateoors t none of that has happened on Donald Trumps watch. Im shaking my head and im sure many watching are shaking their head. There was time to get ready for this. None of this should be a surprise. President elect biden set an ambitious goal of administering 100 million doses in his first 100 days in office. Is that a realistic goal . It another three weeks before he is occupying the white house and it sounds to me like theres a lot of work to do to get the infrastructure in place to get these shots in peoples arms. Theres no sugar coating it. The next couple months are going to be some of the hardest, gr grimaced months in the crountrys history. So to 100 million doses in 100 days, thats really going to depend on whether Congress Allocates funding. This is also happening kathleen was talking about whats going on in her state of kansas. Over 25 of Public Health officials have either quit, been fired or retired over the course of the pandemic. So we are in a position, we need to be hiring up and expanding distribution and all of these things very rapidly. Im shaking my head as im sure you are and many people watching tonight that this groundwork wasnt already laid. Dr. Gounder, were constantly keeping up with the medical developments, the u. K. Covid19 variant, the first case of that variant confirmed today in colorado. Significance . This was not unexpected. I think this was again yet another example of why we need to invest in Public Health. Had we been doing what we called genomic surveillance, we would have probably picked up on this sooner and picked up on the threat sooner. Listen, a lot of work to do. Good to draw on both of your experience. Let hope for all of our sakes the country gets this right now. Thank you. Next, the president says he wants people to get bigger covid relief checks. The question, what is he willing to do, if anything, to get what he wants. Sherrod brown will discuss that later. And what is the president talking about as thousands of americans die of covid every single day. Aging is a journey. You cant always know whats ahead.

Our big story tonight, the president s lack of follow through on getting americans immunized with the very same Covid Vaccines he likes to boast so much about and did make big progress on. Not much follow through beyond angry tweets on his call for boosting covid relief payments. No sign hes doing the lobbying of his own partys leadership and membership he would need to do if he were serious about getting this passed. Consequently when Bernie Sanders took to the floor today, it was put on ice. So madam president , would the senator modify his request that immediately following the vote on the vito override, the senate proceed to the consideration of hr9051, that the bill be considered read a third time and the senate vote on passage of the bill without intervening action or debate . Is there objection to the request for modification . Object. Objection is heard. So senator mcconnell then introduced his own legislation, which adds poison pills, in effect, meaning if they are right, the bigger relief checks the president saysly wont be g too many soon, perhaps not ever. Here to talk about this, dr democrat sherrod brown. Thank you so much. On section 230, this is about protections for social Media Companies but also a voter fraud commissi commission. Is this new plan dead on arrival for democrats . Apparently it is. Its what mcconnell always does. I mean, when theres a fork in the road and you can decide one side is corporate interests and the other is working families, mcconnell always takes corporate interests and thats what hes doing here. He knows that the public overwhelmingly, including republicans, support the 2,000. Ive been calling for it since march. He knows thats popular, he knows people want that. He knows that enough senators would vote for it if it pasted so hes going to block it. I mean, its what Mitch Mcconnell does. He uses senate rules to obstruct popular kinds of Things Congress might consider doing and he end up always helping his rich friends become richer and his powerful friends become more powerful. Let me ask you, though, has the leader outmaneuvered the democratic leadership here . He would be forcing democrats to still cast a vote against 2,000 stimulus checks or accept a Voter Fraud Commission, repeal tech company immunity. I mean, we know he is a master operator of senate rules here, but i wonder if youre concerned that hes outmaneuvered the democratic leadership . He hasnt outmaneuvered democrats, it just what senate rules april lllow you to block. If youre the minority leader, you can block almost i know butch hes hes inf going to put senators like you in a position of voting no well, thats not clear yet when were all back in town next week and i think were all willing to stay through the new year to fix this. But again, when mcconnell its always he uses senate rules, again, to block, obstruct popular will in this country. And hes got hes got most of 52 republicans that are essentially spineless and always back him up. Its usually siding with the president. Now its siding with the majority leader. And think how much Mitch Mcconnell has funded these campaigns. There are a whole lot of senators returning going to get sworn in on january 3rd that were the beneficiaries of mcconnell, literally tens of millions of dollars in dark money that he raised and put into those races. Well, well know on january 6th or early next year, depending how close it is, well know if he keeps his majority. There is of course another bill up for consideration, the massive defense bill. Senator Bernie Sanders, he said hell block a vote on the defense bill until there is an upordown vote on those checks. Is that a tactic you endorse to get the money into peoples hands . I will support anything that lets us get that money into peoples hands. I dont think that theres a way around what senator sanders wants to do that mcconnell can do. It just takes three days to do it. But i will support any effort that i think will help us get the 2,000 into more than a hundred million americans pockets. Final question before we go. I nope youre well aware of a disappointing rollout in this vaccine. None of the administrations targets being met here and real question as to whether states have the capability to get this vaccine out into millions of peoples arms and quickly. A new president in 21 days. What can the senate do to help the enough administration to get this done . Well, the first thing the senate can do is what we did and passed that covid package. It would help to put the money in peoples pockets so the economy would falter less as this is happening, but its i mean, president Donald Trumps playing golf today. He has no interest in doing this. Mitch mcconnell has done ef s s essentially nothing to help him do this. The most important thing is we win the senate next tuesday in the special election in tuesday and we come right back to work and working with the president elect when the president of the United States wont even essentially basically meet with biden and allow his team to meet with bidens team, its pretty hard to do this. But its the number one priority for all of us. It should be in the senate and certainly is for the white house, the new white house. Cnn has a new story tonight about the Defense Department not cooperating with the biden transition team. We wish you and your family the best for the holidays. Thank you, and yours. Thanks. President donald trump is watching this all play out from florida. Coming up, well check in for reaction there. Angry tweets at members of his on party for failing to act on those 2,000 stimulus checks. K. Did i feed you . But taking prescriptions shouldnt be one of them. Cvs simpledose presorts your prescriptions into packets, so you know what to take when. Delivered at no cost. Is this clean . Visit cvs. Com. Well commonwealcome back. President donald trump is spending another day in florida golfing, tweeting, putting the onus of getting people vaccinated on to the states. Kaitlan collins is in West Palm Beach for us tonight. Kaitlan, is the president doing anything to combat the pandemic right now . Americans want to know, need to know and were clearly at a point here where the distribution of vaccines is running into serious roadblocks. Officials in his administration are certainly making efforts to try to talk to reporters about that. Weep just fou we just found out there will be a briefing with officials to find out why the u. S. Is so far behind those goals that federal officials had set for the end of the month. When it comes to the president himself, he has been what he has been for the last several months, which is basically pretty uninvolved in this process and in whats going on. Up s you saw his tweet earlier and he was talking about Vaccine Distribution and putting it off on the state, something we did with coronavirus testing and ppe for hospitals and saying basically its up to them. That is true. The federal government is passing this off to states once they have the vaccines but the question is whether or not states are prepared to handle this and the federal government has set them up for success because theyre already strained as it is when it comes to testing and contact tracing. Now theyve got Vaccine Distribution as another responsibility. So those are big questions. And in the president s tweet, he passed it off to states, criticized joe biden for the handling of the swine flu. Thats something the president has turned to when hes been criticized for his administrations coronavirus response. Well be waiting to see what it is that federal officials do say during this briefing tomorrow about why they are so far behind on the numbers and the goals that they set for themselves. Well, listen, about 335,000 more people died have died from coronavirus than the swine flu. The other of course focus here is the stimulus payments, the possibility of raising them to 2,000. Has the president reacted in any way to leader mcconnells new bill that now ties these checks to two things the president has wanted, 230 reform relates to liabilities for Tech Companies but also a Voter Fraud Commission. So those are the things the president wants. And what Mitch Mcconnell is saying hes going to put all of them together in a bill that would be nousintroduced on the senate floor. Thats not going to go anywhere because the other things the president wants in this is going to face on sis frpposition from democrats. So the idea that democrats had to bring the 2 stimulus checks today, Mitch Mcconnell said were not doing that when he was on the floor with Bernie Sanders and several other senators today. The president hasnt responded to what this is going to be. It what he wants to see but i not going to end up in what he actually wants to get. Thats the question here. We do know the 600 stimulus checks could start going out in a matter of hours according to the treasury secretary. Whether they get to what the president is demanding, is saying is going to be a death wish if republicans dont get there, it still in limbo and far from clear where had is going to end up, jim. And on that issue theres unity with some strange bed fellows, Vice President elect biden supports that. Now paul begala and scott jennings, quite close to senator mcconnell, both cnn political commentators. Thank you for joining us tonight. Paul, if i could begin with you, this is a classic leader mcconnell move here, is what hes doing here a winwin for him politically . He is putting forward what the president wants but hes also effectively ensuring that those payments do not get he does not want to spend the extra 465 billion on those payments, forces democrats perhaps to vote no on those payments because of these poison pills. I wonder from your view has he check mated democrats on this . No. What i think hes doing is hes presupposing that people in georgia are dumb. Hes wrong. Theyre smart. They know a poisoned pill is designed to kill. When he puts a poison pill in their 2,000 survival check that the democrats support, hes killing it. Any senator who votes for mcconnells poison pill is voting to kill the 2,000 payment. That means Kelly Leffler and david perdue on the ballot next week likely have said theyre going to vote with mcconnell. If they do, they are voting to kill that stimulus, that survival its not even stimulus, it ss survival check. Purdue and leffler got wealthy with controversial stock trades while georgia was getting sick and dying, so the notion that these millionaires and billionaires, rich people get the gold mine, working people get the shaft. This is a message, bonanza for the democrats, its a terrible position theyve put the democrats in. Youve got josh hawley. The president supports increasing these stimulus checks as do many democrats. Do you have think this is a dangerous move for mcconnell and could it damage republicans in the georgia runoff races in. I dont know why you all are dismissing out of hand that democrats should block vote against the repeal of section 230. If 2,000 checks is all that snands t stand in the way between functioning and abyss, it seems like repealing section 230 and locking at voter fraud is a small price to pay for that. There as a Voter Fraud Commission driven by false claims and voter fraud. Its a commission. Its a commission. Its a commission. Its designed to study. It can study and it can say there was no voter fraud substantial enough to overturn the election. Why do you need that attached to stimulus checks legislation . I mean, all the courts have rejected this. Why did democrats attach any number of things to the stimulus legislation that just passed in the house . Look, the reality is the president issued a signing statement. He said he wanted three things, 2,000 checks, repeal of 230 and a Voter Fraud Commission. Mcconnell for four years has done the exact same thing. If the president says id like to put something on the floor, hes found a way to put it on the floor so hes going to do that. Look, i think there are republicans who might want to vote for the whole thing, republicans who might want to vote for some of it, but i dont know why democrats would bloc vote against 2,000 payments. Look, there is a growing bipartisan consensus that some of these Tech Companies need to have their ears pinned back anyway. 2,000 bucks, if thats all thats going to keep millions of people from falling off the jede of the cliff, they may want to reconsider. Paul, i want to get your reaction here. On the question of voter fraud, we did have news and that is the republican secretary of state of georgia after doing an audit, a signature match audit in cobb county, something the president has claimed repeatedly and false think there was audit fraud, they found 99. 4 matches with signature so yet one more claim knocked down. What do you have think democrats should do here . Senator sanders is saying he can hold up the Defense Authorization bill. Is that a strategy that would be smart . They may have to. Kelly leffler and david purdue sent 2. 3 trillion to corporate mrk whi america while Corporate America was experiencing record profits. Its a very simple message for the democrats to take to the people of georgia. If you think youre worth 2,000 to keep your business open and your children fed, then vote with the democrats. The people in georgia have it in their power to take that back and give it to folks to give a rip snort about the middle class. Nobody knows their way around the power lobbyist better than Mitch Mcconnell. For someone who spent a lot of time in georgia, hes underestimating the people of georgia. The Defense Department is refusing to cooperate with the incoming biden administration, refusing to share critical information about the pentagon budget, u. S. Force posture in a number of war zones around the world, recently announced troop withdrawal plans and the recent cyber attack attributed to russia. You have one administration going out, another coming in. This is about sharing information, intelligence on the most severe threats to this countrys national security. Should that stop . Its extremely troubling. I think in terms of transition, some of these agencies, the reality is the transition doesnt make all that much difference to how the new administration will operate, but in the area of national defense, and i would also argue in the area of Vaccine Distribution, you need the absolute most seamless handoff that you can have to vaccinate americans of course but more broadly protect americans from the external threats we obviously face. Im extremely troubled by that. I havent seen the reporting, jim, but i would say the pentagon, the trump administration, the biden transition people, they need to be together every day to ensure that we dont miss a beat as it relates to upholding one of the most sacred duties that our government has and thats keeping us all safe from foreign actors. Quickly before we go. Covid has already filled our hospitals. It filled our icu units. We dont have space for people if theres a mass casualty attack. Were more vulnerable to a terrorist attack than weve ever been in our life time. Paul begala, scott jennings, thank you both and wish you good holidays. Just ahead, its got nothing to do with politics, congress or even his golf game. The answer when 360 continues. Aging is a journey. You cant always know whats ahead. Since 1995, seniors have opened their doors to right at home for personalized care. To be their guide. To steer them through uncharted territory. And when it comes right down to it, to keep them safe at home. After all, home is the best place to be. Right at home, navigating whats to come. My best friends father died of covid19. Then my father caught it. Wearing a mask, washing your hands. You have the power to protect the ones you love. Weari g a mask, washing your hands. Ocean spray works with nature every day to keep you healthy there were new details tonight on president Donald Trumps state of mind as the clock ticks down on his time in office. Cnns kate bennett reports according to multiple sources, the president s mood has been dark ever since he arrived at his Maralago Club in palm beach, florida last week. In addition to soon being out of a job, the president was apparently upset with renovations to the clubs interior, many of which were overseen by first lady melania trump. Its believed to be where the president is moving when he departs the white house in a little more than three weeks. Its reported that the president is so moody that hes spending more time than usual behind closed doors, not socializing as much as he normally does. As another source puts it, the vibe is off. Here to discuss and the kwon consequences of that, anthony scaramucci. Thanks for having me. I think hes humiliated. And so when youre humiliated like that, you have that kind of personality and ego. You know, he was calling the Vice President now president elect biden sleepy joe biden, suggesting he was in his basement, two falsehoods, but now hes got to come to grips with somebody that was sleepy in their basement kicked the pants off him. So its going to be very hard for him to greet all of those people like hes done traditionally new years eved and so forth. What are the consequences of that . The president has checked out on the outbreak for month, now but now were having a real consequence in the midst of a heath crisis here with his withdrawal from the job, what does that mean for running the country for the next three weeks . Well, hes just providing evidence every single day that he was unfit for that job. So the last 30 days have actually been the worst days of his presidency. So if you see what happened last weekend with the false start on the bill and then the ultimate signing of the bill and then the veto and now youve got these 22 days left where, you know, hes completely checked out but hes got his people frozen and pinned and putting a tremendous amount of pressure on Vice President pence related to january 6th. I dont know what hes suggesting when he sends out tweets related to people coming to washington on january 6th, i want to give him the benefit of the doubt but it seems nefarious to me and it unconscionable, jim. They got 22 days to go, they feel like forever, frankly, but hes leaving. I mean, i think he knows hes leaving now. There will probably be one last gasp of fundraising before he leaves. Thats something hes found very lucrative. Hes not going to have fun in florida. He wont be sitting in florida for very long. Tell us what, if you can discern it, his intention or end game is with stimulus checks. Again, it was his own White House Team that negotiated and signed off on this bill prior and then he sort of threw a tantrum about it this weekend, finally signed it but now is circling back. Does he have a plan, an end game here . No. Well, thats been the whole thing with the president. You know, hes calling plays from the line of scrimmage. Everything is an audible. Im reasonably certain he never really looked at the bill or never really focused on it and more or less did the hand waving gestures that it was okay, it was okay and when he finally got ahold of it and looked at it, he probably thought that 600 made him look bad so thats why he rejected it. Then there was just great irony there. It just shows how disorganized he is and the lack of executive management skills and the lack of intellectual curiosity to actually read something dense and reasonably complicated and look through the whole thing. So all of this is manifesting itself. If you and i were on a publicly traded board of a company and we had hired him, we would be looking at each other saying we have to dismiss him for the unsoundness of his personality related to the job hes been placed in. So tell me about january 6th. We had another day today where republican secretary of state in georgia said, listen, i audited the signatures, 99. 9 match, no widespread fraud, knocking down yet another of the president s claims. And yet on january 6th, as you mentioned, hes still putting pressure on his Vice President to somehow contest before the floor. How does Vice President pence plan to handle this . Well, listen, i cant speak for the Vice President but im very confident that hes going to do what is appropriate for the United States and he did avow to the constitution and take an oath to the constitution. I think hes going to do whats appropriate. And then i think the last two weeks of the administration there will be a series of ridiculous pardons and there will be a series of nefarious neglect and activity related to setting up President Donald Trump and his family for the postpresiden postpresidency. Some of it will be gimmickry, some related to fundraising and some will be pardons, with those pardons being tied to something in the future. And its terrible. Were going to have to protect ourselves Going Forward if we get somebody like this with this moral fiber in the presidency, well probably need an amendment to one of the amendments. Weve rendered the 25th amendment basically useless. He has so many acting cabinet members, if they tried to call the quorum and invoke the 25th amendment, he could dispatch all of those cabinet members because they were never sanctified by the senate. The 25th amendment has been paralyzed by the trump administration. We need to look at that as a group of people and refortified the institutions of our democracy. The last great thing is he is bringing us all together. You see democrats and republicans teamed up against him, taking him on related to these two bills. I think thats a refreshing thing and hopefully thats a good start for the new incoming biden administration. Well see if theres political will. Quickly yes or know, if you had to bet 5 bucks, is he running again in 2024 or is this a charade. Forget about five bucks, independent got 5,000 hes not. If you want to take it to 50, we got to probably take it to a bookie. Theres no chance this guy is running in 2024. Anthony scaramucci, thank you for your time and best to the family for the holidays. Happy enough year, jim. The vaccine rollout is certainly rocky, those are the facts, but the joy of those who do receive it unmistakable.

Credit has been given to the diligence of the employees here. They, too, are getting the vaccine. After all, its the employees who can bring the virus in.
