The first effort a long shot to begin with. By unanimous request every single senator would have had to sign off in order to pass the bill. Also underscores complicated dynamics going on in the United States senate right now. Mcconnell made clear on the floor in his opening remark s o the floor today that was part of several issues President Trump wanted in order to sign off on that covid relief package and mcconnell made clear later in the week, as he said it, the process would begun on linking those three issues together and see how the senate deals with it. He did not commit to a vote. Certainly not on the house passed legislation that more than 40 republicans voted for leaving democrats very concerned. Very questionable in terms of whats actually going to happen next. The wild card, the thing Everybody Needs too Pay Attention to the two georgia senators. Obviously, runoff less than one week from today and both of those senators, david perdue and Kelly Loeffler came out in favor of 2,000 stimulus checks today. Where does that put Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell and his party . Where does it put the rank and file of the republicans in the Senate Conference . Keep in mind, a couple months agojority were completely opposed to any checkss now five republicans are in full support in the United States senator of 2,000. However, democrats need 12 and need Mitch Mcconnell to put that on the floor. Whether thats going to happen, well, right now everybodys pretty suspect. Well have to wait and see. Brooke . Phil mattingly, thank you. Down to Kaitlan Collins in west palm beach, florida. The president making thoughts on pretty much everything, obvious in this folks tweet fest. What has he said . Reporter yeah. He has. One person going after without naming is Mitch Mcconnell. Certainly the fact that mcconnell came to the senate floor, phil laid out there, and did not promise a vote on the 2,000 stimulus checks the president is now demanding is not going to make things better, i dont think, for their relati relationship. The question, whether it is is containing traction forcing Mitch Mcconnells hand and going to do something about this, because when the president first rolled out demand for the 2,000 checks, this is isnt that caught his party by surprise. His own officials it negotiating this on capitol hill. So its really unclear where its going to end up, but the president who has not made remarks on camera in several days, brooke, has been lashing out at mcconnell on twitter going after Republican Leadership as weak and really attacking them from all over. Do you have any sense what the president might do . And, you know, as we know his target on twitter is Mitch Mcconnell. Any expectation he actually reaches out to the majority leader . Reporter sometimes he just makes his thoughts known on twitter, brooke, and doesnt often reach out to him directly. Were told there have been conversations happening between the white house and the majority leaders office. Where that ends up is still unclear right now. Okay. Thank you very much, Kaitlan Collins. Now to white house reporter, new reporting what life has been like within the walls of march large oh for the president and first lady. What have you learned . Reporter well, brooke, apparently as soon as they arrived down in florida, the president saw some of the renovations that had been ongoing for the past several weeks to accommodate their what should be their fulltime life there after the white house, and he didnt particularly care for them. According to sources, he was displeased with some of the aesthetics of the new renovations. Voiced that concern. Sources say hes been moody, been isolating. Obviously seen him play golf as kaitlan said. Back and forth, up and down, is he or isnt he . Staff doesnt necessarily know what hes doing from day to day. Certainly a very moody time. One source told me the vibe feels very different this year at maralago for christmas. Renovations, members of his own party, lots of targets. Kate bennett, thank you, thank you very much.

Humana, a more human way to healthcare. We are back. Youre watching cnn. Im breaking babr brooke baldw. Thank you for being here. Democrats painting this debate at immoral terms as a choice between pinching pennies and letting families go hungry. Leaders of our country, President Trump, president elect biden, minority leader chuck schumer, speaker of the house nancy pelosi are all in agreement, we have got to raise that direct payment to 2,000. Why cant we keep working families from starving, even as we stand ready to approve a massive defense bill . That was senator ed markey, democrat, massachusetts. Here is senator ed markey. Senator, pleasure, sir. Welcome. Thanks for having me on. Listening to you and of course senator Bernie Sanders pushing for a vote on increasing the direct checks to americans to 2,000. Senator sanders saying, you know, no new years break for senators without a vote. So whats your plan . Well, our plan is to, one, just say no vote on the defense budget. Thats what the republicans want. Thats what Many Democrats want, but what senator sanders and i are saying is, no vote on a defense bill until we have a vote on providing a 2,000 check to americans of those who make under 70,000 a year. Those most impacted by the coronavirus. So were just saying, we need to deal with this unemployment crisis. This housing crisis. The hunger crisis. The crisis of faith in our country right now. And we need to give people the honest hope that they can actually have faith in their elected officials. Donald trump now says he supports a 2,000 check. House representatives has now voted for it with 44 republicans supporting it. All were saying is lets have a yes or no vote. An up or down vote. Bring it out on to the floor of the senate before new years eve. So that we can give real help to families who need it and who are desperate during these, this holiday season. Especially with dr. Fauci saying that the worst of the pandemic is not behind us, but it is ahead of us. So lets get ahead of the problem and put this cash in the pockets of those who need it the most. When we were all sitting watching the senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell a while ago on the another, waiting for clarity or a sign how he may go on the 2,000 checks. We didnt get a heck of a lot of clarity. Im curious if you or even your colleagues, senator sanders, have you heard from leader mcconnell at all on this . No, we have not, and we have no idea what theyre intending on doing. What we know right now is that they care more about funding the defense bill than they do about funding the defenseless in our nation. Thats our moment in time. And thus far we have not heard from the Republican Leadership. I do know this, however that if Mitch Mcconnell did allow a vote on the floor of the United States senate it would pass. You do think so . Because i want to ask you. Yes, i do. By our count, five have said they will vote for it. Magic number is 12. You think that you can get there . I do believe that. And i believe thats what theyre afraid of. Tell me why . Well, i think that when donald trump wants something, we can see the politics in georgia now where senator loeffler and senator perdue are now saying that they support it. Senator rubio says he supports it. We can see the momentum building by the hour, and im very confident that if we had this vote that the American People would get the muchneeded help, which they need. Yes, billionaires have had a great year. Theyve made almost 1 trillion this year. The billionaires of the United States. They made 1 trillion. Well, thats not the same story for people and families are under 70,000. They have not. Theyre not even in the stock market. So we need to give help to them and i think its becoming much more clear, because each moment goes by that if republicans vote against providing a 2,000 check, they do so at their own political peril. Senator markey, as you and i have been speaking the president tweeted. Read this live onair for both of us. He says, unless republicans have a death wish and it is also the right thing to do, they must approve the 2,000 payments asap, 600 is not enough. A death wish. What do you make of that . Well, look, i dont agree with donald trump on much, but even a broken clock has the correct time twice a day. So thats donald trump on this issue. As i just said, in enormal political peril, because our country is in enormous peril. Each family right now teetering on their ability to be able to deal with this crisis. Its going to last one month. Two moss. Three months, four months. Five months. We know the rogout of the vaccine is 1 10 of the level which the administration said it would be by end of december. Nothing would be, i think a greater relief to families than to know that in addition to those who are unemployed, who get an unemployment check, that families also get this 2,000 check to figure out how to pay the rent, for food, for the car payments, whatever they might need for each member of their family, and i think the pressure is going to build as each hour goes by for the republicans. Especially with donald trump weighing in, we have a moment here. We can do the right thing for the American People. Weve had a moral crisis in our country under Donald Trumps leadership. This is the right moment to do the morally right thing for the American People. The American People are watching what you do, senator markey. Oh, so closely. Senator, thank you, sir, very much. Thank you. Hospitals in this country collectively reported more than 121,000 hospitalizations yesterday breaking a new record. The worst could be far from over. This is what dr. Anthony fauci told jim sciutto this morning. Thats whats were concerned about, that in addition to the surge were going to have an increase superimposed upon that surge, which could make january even worse than december. I hope not. I hope that doesnt happen, but it certainly is possible. We just have to assume that its going to get worse. Going to get worse, going to get worse. Joining me now, cnn analyst, an emergency physician professor at Brown University and cofounder of get us. E ppe. Org. Going to get worse. Senator markey echoes that as well. Your thoughts on that and the situation at your hospital . I have trouble seeing how its not going to get worse, brooke. My last e. R. Shift i saw patient after patient the hoot had gotten sick from family gettogethers. At this point were a few days past christmas. People who had gotten together monday or tuesday, thought they were healthy. Said i followed all the rules but this one wanted to see my family and then i would have multiple family members showing up sick enough to get hospitalized. The weeks ahead are going to be so difficult, because of the spread thats happening across the country. Last week and this week. As well as the existing overwhelm of the health care system. My colleagues in Southern California are telling me that theyre running out of oxygen. Theyre putting beds in gift shops and cafeterias because there is nowhere else in the hospital to put patients. My own colleagues still getting sick. Weve only gotten our first shot of the vaccine so far. We are in for a very difficult january ahead. Military personnel are being deployed. You mentioned california where the states governor gavin newsom said icu capacity in something reachths is ngions is. Mentioned gurneys in the gift shop. Talking to mlk jr. Hospital south of last. Tell me other stories . How did we get here . Through a sustained failure of national leadership. It didnt have to be this way. There are multiple other countries across the world who avoided this second surge. This was predictable but we could have rolled out testing. We could have rolled out ppe, hads consistent messages, could have sent masks to every household, which President Trump blocked. Right . There are so many things we could have done to decrease the spread of this virus, between last spring and today. We did not have to be back in this crisis situation across all 50 states. I mean, the stories im hearing are heartbreaking. Im hearing about ems not taking people to the hospital, because theres no space. Im hearing about really ill patients sitting in the Emergency Department for hours before they can be taken care of, because the staff are overwhelmed. Because there are no beds and because there is, there are no beds in the Emergency Department and no beds upstairs. How do we get out of this is unfortunately going to be hard work and its going to be a wait, because as dr. Fauci has said, the vaccine is coming, but it sure as heck isnt here yet. Not just talking the talk, but walking the walk as a parent like you. Awe you point out in your oped piece, lambasted White House Coronavirus coordinator dr. Deborah birx for disregarding their own advice. Social distancing,he holidays. Your words these experiments and hairsplitting provide ammunition for these hypocrisies are unnecessary in distraction from the real issue at hand. The virus xeitself. Explain. As a parent i know if i dont follow my own rules my kids arent going to. Same thing is true tore cofor c. We are asking the American Public to do the most difficult thing. Avoid traveling and seeing their family over the holidays. We cannot expect that the average american is going to follow those rules if our own leaders dont. Weve already seen a failure of messaging by the federal government, but what really disappoints me we have people out there saying, oh, dont travel. Oh, wear a mask. Dont get together with people outside of your nucleakclear households and go do what theyre telling constituents not to do. Thats not fair. The American People isnt stupid and will see right through that and then theyre not going to follow the rules either and its going to get us into an even worse situation than were in now. I find it so disappointing and i think our political leaders have a chance to do good by telli ii constituents to do the things. Asking feel avoid, model by behavior. End on that. Your words echoing for all of us. Doctor. Thank you. As we near end of the year, the trumpedadministrations going of immunizing many people is not there.

With just 22 days remaining until Joe Biden Takes Office the president elect is expected to speak out about the current administrations covid19 vaccine rollout today. Said to address the slower than expected pace at which the Trump Administration has administered the vaccines and by layout, what the administration will do to distribute nup enough vaccines for 50 Million People in his first 100 days in office. With me now, cnn Political Correspondent mj lee and vivian salama. Mj start with you on the speech. What are you listening for, expecting to hear from the president elect specifically on the vaccine rollout . Reporter well, brooke, we certainly dont expect the president elect to paint a rosy picture of whats going on. As you said, we expect him to call out the Trump Administration for its rollout of the vaccine distribution. Basically going slower than people had hoped, and lay out his own plan for how he might do this in a speedier fashion once he becomes president on january 20th. None of are this should really be surprising. You know, the president elect has been deeply critical of the president s handling of the covid19 crisis. Has talked about this in many different fashions, and before christmas youll recall he actually said i think the darkest days when when it comes to the virus may actually be ahead of us, and we heard dr. Anthony fauci unfortunately agreeing with that assessment. I also just want to quickly note on the topic of vaccine distributions, just emphasizing the significance of what we saw earlier today when Vice President elect Kamala Harris got her vaccine in front of cameras, we heard her saying relatively harmless and safe and called on americans to get their vaccines as well an emphasizing these are approved by scientists and experts. This is part of the campaign of the Incoming Administration to build out Public Confidence about these vaccinations. This is going to be a huge challenge for the Incoming Administration and a part of what challenge they are facing is making sure that people, particularly people in communities of color, understand that these vaccines are safe and that they really should be getting them as soon as they can, brooke. Mj, thank you. Well be listening in, in a little bit. Vivian, to you. We have new reporting on another big issue the Incoming Administration has to face. Nuclear peppeweapons and arms control. Reporter right. Officials tell me that biden is considering actually looking at cuts to Americas Nuclear modernization program. That means basically trying to find areas where he can trim the fat in terms of not developing some new weapons. And slowing down the pace of spending. Weve seen today on the hill how contentious defense spending can be. That you even have republicans trying to override the president s veto with regard to defense spendings any kind of cut like this raises eyebrows on the hill certainly and rub a lot of republicans especially the wrong way, but president elect biden and his team assert that trimming the fat of this program is going to be essential for use in other areas. You have spending on conventional weapons. Spending, for example, on stimulus checks. Were in the middle of an economic downturn and they say we can still have a strong deperd deterre deterrent, Strong Nuclear program and trim the access that started to build up under the Trump Administrations push to develop that nuclear program. All coming within weeks of the explanation of a very critical u. S. russian treaty that expires just 16 days after biden takes office. The new the s. T. A. R. T. Treaty biden has to figure out how to revamp the Nuclear Modernization program. A lot to decide upon in the first couple of days in office, brooke. The first two weeks in office. Vivian salama, thank you for the update. Meantime, should schools stay open during the pandemic . Dr. Fauci says yes and my next guest agrees. Hear what they thinks why schools should rethink quarantine policies. For veteran families, when it comes to finding and buying your dream home, well be there to make it happen.

Well be there because we work only with veteran families like yours to help you get the most life out of a home for the life of your family welcome back. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. The vaccine rollout continues to lag behind projections. So far a little over 2 million doses administered. Not even close to operation warp speeds goal of 20 million by end of year. Adding to all of this, learning hundreds of doses in the Moderna Vaccine was tossed because of a storage error. For more on that, go to senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. Elizabeth, 500 doses tossed. Why . Well, because they were left out when they shouldnt have been. Vaccines need to be kept refrigerated, sometimes frozen. In this case in the fridge. The place they were supposed to be. Apparently taken out to access something behind them and they werent put back in. Most of those 500 doses were told had to be wasted. Attribute it to human error and i will tell you, brooke, the only way to summarize this is, stuff happens. Not the first time in the history of vaccines theyve had to waste vaccines because they werent properly refrigerated and wont be the last. Hopefully develop a protocol so it woen happen again. Wasnt like the pfizer vaccine, cold as the south pole but moderna. Hopefully the one and only we report on. I want to ask about the coronavirus variant appears to be spreading. Talked about it in the uk. You see the map, detected in two dozen countries and hong kong. What do you know about the vaccines effect on this variant . So vaccines are being tested as we speak, brooke, to see if they will work or how well they work against this variant. The hope is they will work just as well as they have against the other variants. About 95 . Moderna and pfizer are testing them now and novavax, in its phase three trial also testing their vaccine to see if it works against it. Its simple. Take blood from someone vaccinated, put it in the land and challenge it with the variant and see how it does. Basically, theyre quite optimistic it will work well. Ive talked to genomic experts who say based on the genetics, it might work slicely as well. Maybe instead of 95 effective, it would be 85 effective. Still an amazing vaccine. Thank you, dr. Elizabeth cohen. Dr. Fauci saying children should be in school as much as possible and safe for teachers and students. We know looking at the data as its evolved over the last months the transmission within the context of the school is considerably lower than what we had thought. It may be that the children are more safe in school than we would have thought they were. Dr. Fauci says the data has evolved, and my next guest can tell us how. Emily oster, economics professor at Brown University, start add dashboard that tracked the Coronavirus Spread rates in schools. Awesome having you on. Welcome. Thanks for having me. As we head now into the next half of the school year what does the data from the first semester tell us what worked, didnt work when it comes to the covid outbreaks and closures and quarantines . Yeah. I think that by and large the data suggests schools are lowrisk environments. We see some infections among People Associated with schools but not of evidence within spread within schools particularly for younger kids. At the same time were obviously seeing a lot of negative effects of learning loss, lots of negative effects, pushing people thinking we heal should try as much as possible, if we can do it safely, get kids back into inperson school. We havent even begun to see the numbers since christmas. Fauci saying january most definitely worse than december. Just given what we dont know, what kind of effect do you think it will have on schools as many hopefully will reopen top of the year . Yeah. I think for one thing, i think many schools are planning a short sort of break before they reopen. Probably to try to sort of the sort out the case that might unfortunately crop up over christmas. I think as we move into the next semester we need to continue to think how we can make schools as safe as possible. We did some of that in the fall and it was successful. Theres more we can do and i know the administration is thinking about more testing in schools, more asymptomatic testing. I personally think thats extremely important and a way to enhance staff trust in the school and also to keep infections at a low rate we were able to achieve in many places. You know this, emily. The cdc relied on your data to issue guidance to keep schools open. Your reaction to that, and are they giving your team any assistance or resources . We have not gotten any assistance or resources from the cdc. I think the reason the cdc was pulling on our data was that it is the most complete data, and it we have all the data but more data than anyone else. And we put it together in a way i think people can understand. I do hope, again, with the new administration there will be a possibility for some of this kind of data effort to be more centralizes, because i think the more centralized we make it the better we do, and the more we can learn about if there is a transmission in schools, what happened . How can we use that to try to make sure it doesnt happen again. Thats really the key rather than to just say, oh, schools of safe. Say, wheheres what were doing motorcycle them as safe as possible so children can be there. Thank you for all the information. For parents watching, dealing in all of this data to just safeguard our kids. Emily oster, thank you very much. Thank you.

The officer did not turn on his body cam when he answered the call about a nonemergency disturbance. He also failed to help hill after he was shot. The new documents about the moments leading up to the incident were made public today after cnn requested their release. With me now is cnn National Correspondent brynn gingras. Brynn, i am so glad were telling the story today. Youve looked at these documents. What do they reveal . Reporter brooke, you just nicely said to your viewers that he didnt turn on his body camera footage until after the shots were fired and andre hill was killed. However tfrks recordingit was r seconds before that document aired. Cnn obtained those transcripts, and i want to give you an idea of what other Police Officers responded to that scene said about this incident since all we have is body camera video after the fact. Adam coy says that his partner yelled that andre had a gun, he had a gun. A lieutenant who was also on the scene gave this statement, in part, in that internal investigation saying, quote, based on my direct observations of this encounter, i informed the Directors Office of what i was witnessing. I explained that i observed events with my own eyes and ears that in my experience raised many alarms as to the officers actions in using deadly force. So quite damning responses, you know, statements being made by people who arrived on that scene who were also part of that columbus, ohio police department. This was all considered when there was that internal investigation at the Columbus Police department, and also when they were having a disciplinary hearing yesterday about adam coy, about his future with the police department, and they determined that he was going to be fired. I want you to hear from the family of andre hill after they learned that this officer did lose his job. Still unbelievable tragedy in the way that andre was shot multiple times, four times, and i w was actually just left for dead and there could have been many possibilities for him to maybe survive his injuries. He was just killed like an animal. We want to have transparency because the officer turned on the body camera after he shot her father, so we can only speculate about why did this officer do this . Reporter so, brooke, obviously this family wants more answers. The state is investigating. These transcripts will be part of that larger investigation. It is very possible this officer could face criminal charges. Brooke . Stay on it for us. Brynn gingras, thank you. Thank you all for being with me. Lets go to washington. The lead with jake tapper starts right now. And welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We start with breaking news in our politics lead. Just moments ago, President Trump putting more pressure on Senate Republicans to go along with his wishes, tweeting, quote, unless republicans have a death wish, and it is also the right thing to do, they must approve the 2,000 payments as soon as possible. 600 is not enough. The question, of course, is President Trump willing to do anything more than tweet . Is he working the phones . Is he putting as much energy into getting more money for the American People who need it as he is for, say, overturning the results of the election . We got no clarity today on whether he is doing more than tweeting or whethete
