The president is still demanding an increase in direct payments. Democrats say they will try to pass that today. Its not clear what President Trump got out of all of this. This morning, the New York Post is blasting the president s efforts to try to overturn the election results, with this front page saying stop the insanity and dictionary i declaring you lost. Were also learning new details about the suicide bombing in nashville. Police releasing new Surveillance Video of the moment of the blast on Christmas Morning. Police now have identified the man who they say detonated a bomb inside an rv parked downtown. An american suicide bomber. Theyre now focusing on why he did this. Joining us now to discuss it all, margaret talev, cnn political analyst and politics and white house editor for axios and cnn political analyst, toluse olorunnipa, a White House Reporter for the washington post. Thank you, jim, ill take it. Margaret. Ill start with what happened last night. After 7 00 p. M. , the president finally signed this Coronavirus Relief package and Government Spending bill. Had he signed it at midnight, by midnight, on saturday night, cede instead of out waiting for sunday, millions of americans would not have their benefits lapse. But because he waited a few more hours, they will. And that means Something Like 12 million americans wont be able to pay for groceries or wont be able to pay their rent. Why . Why did he do that . Alisyn, basically, all of washington is scratching their tlaeds asking this question this morning, including Top Republican leaders. It is correct, if you are an american who is waiting for that 600 per person to arrive this week as the secretary, President Trumps treasury secretary told you, is not going to happen most likely this week, is going to be delayed. Fur expecting that extra 300 expansion in unemployment benefits, that is youre probably going to miss the first week of it. That is going to be delayed. And it is because of the president s delay on this. And in the end, it doesnt change what package people got. It doesnt make you anymore like to get 2,000. None of that will change as a result of the president holding back on this. Another interesting detail, my colleague, mike allen reporting this morning that this deal, the president s decision to go ahead and sign it was actually cemented yesterday afternoon in a phone call with mnuchin, with house leader kevin mccarthy. So we didnt hear that he would sign it for sure until last night. But hed actually made that decision hours earlier. So what you had was a very Public Campaign to try goad and embarrass the president into signing it. And a private campaign that was actually probably for effective in terms of convincing him, youre the leader, the country cant do without you, youve fought a good fight, youve helped frame the conversation for the things you care about. That is what it took to get it done. And even then, we all had to wait several hours to hear of the decision and that extra time delay, you know, has probably made a difference in peoples ability to get the relief. And if you really need the 600, that day mattered. As do millions of americans. Perhaps many watching right now. Toluse, as so often happens here, its about ego management of the president. His friends kind of cajoling, pushing a little bit. Mr. President , you did so well here, to finally get him to act. Of course, the other looming deadline, january 6th, where congress, as a moment where the president s allies could challenge the results of this election, as thats happening, you have the president losing one of his closest allies. That is the New York Post. Look at the cover of the New York Post this morning. Rupert murdoch owned, stop the insanity. Telling him to stop this unfounded challenge on the election kpp his allies cajole, ego massage him into abandoning this battle . They are really running out of room. Theyve been trying to coddle him in the last seven weeks since his election loss, essentially saying, the president has every right to go to court, every right to challenge these results. We believe the president , we stand with the president , while at the same time moving forward with preparing for a jed joed presidency. So it has been an effort to coddle and cajole the president and really try to trick him into believing that they are on his side and they believe that he can continue this fight to remain in office. I think the New York Post is one of Many Organizations and outlets that are starting to kind of break away from that and essentially tell the president , listen, you need to face up to reality. You lost this election, youre going to be leaving office in just under a month and you need to do whats best for the country instead of lashing out against the country that youre supposed to be leaving, because youre throwing a tantrum over your election loss and essentially trying to say, you lost over fraud. I think the president will realize, as january 6th comes closer, as january 290 comes closer, that a lot of these republicans that have been coddling him and indulging him over his baseless claims of Election Fraud are going to be kind of tiptoeing away from him silently as they move forward with certifying joe bidens win and preparing for a new era, preparing for joe biden to be the president. President trump to be a former president. To be not in power, not in office, and thats going to be the new reality come january 20th. And a lot of these republicans are starting to realize that and they are going to act accordingly. They cannot continue to coddle a president and not pretend as if they have their own political lives to think about and that includes President Trump as a former president. How brave. 23 days left. However many days after the election, margaret, that his, you know, republican enablers have decided that maybe now, its time to begin slowly tiptoeing away. I guess, when you lose, you know, the New York Post. That sends a shiver down the spine of others. 63,000 americans have died this month from covid19. While President Trump plays golf. And as we pointed out, those benefits will lapse. Yes, theyll be retroactive for the people who are emplunemploy but if you cant buy groceries this week, it doesnt matter. Its the flip screen of him being warm in florida, playing golf, while all of this other, as the New York Post calls it, insanity is unfolding, has just been really, you know, disturbing to watch. And then, of course, in terms of what hes going to do next, the National Defense authorization act, he vetoed it. You know, republicans may have enough votes to override it. Whats going to happen in these 23 days . Yeah, theyre leaving him no choice but to override him, which will be another rebuke of him. But they have to do this. Otherwise, National Security is j jeopardyized, programs he cares about, like the space force are jeopardized, and this all comes as republicans are looking at a couple of other deadlines and dates. One is the georgia runoffs. Those two special elections to literally determine who controls the senate. So theres that. And the other, of course, is joe bidens inauguration day. But if you are are watching the president on twitter, which is a pretty good way to tap into how hes feeling moment to moment and what he wants to broadcast to people, then you know that yesterday, for therese the second time, maybe the third time, hes thrown out the idea that he wants to call all Trump Supporters to washington, to the Nations Capital ahead of that january 6th date when Vice President mike pence mike pence and the congress have to accept the Electoral College results. This is yet another deadline that republicans in Congress Just dont want to happen. They dont want the president to try to stage some sort of official or initial rally or march to try to challenge and contest a legitimate election win by the president s opponent. And that is another date that were facing down. So i think part of the reason that youre starting to see this pushback is because these republicans are like, oh, my goodness, what is going to happen in the next, whatever, 23 days. Like, there has to be a transition of power. Listen, and the last time you had those groups in d. C. , there was violence. There were violent clashes with police, et cetera. Theres a security risk. And theres a pandemic. So its not safe, even if youre outside to have thousands of people in the same shared space not wearing masks, protesting for something that cant happen, that is not going to happen. Right, toluse, president elect biden, who will be president in 23 days, is giving an important speech this afternoon on National Security. Of course, this country just had a suicide bomber strike in the streets of america. The president hasnt commented on it. Do we expect the president elect to comment on it and what else should we expect from him. I do believe hell comment on this bombing. We have seen president elect joe biden really rush into the void every time President Trump has been silent. President trump was silent when it came to what he was going to do about the Coronavirus Relief bill. We saw President Trump put out a blistering statement on saturday, attacking the president saying that he was going to leave, that he had been involved in abdication of responsibility that would lead to danger for the country. I would expect another situation like that, where President Trump being silent about this bombing attack in nashville over several days, christmas day, the day after christmas, tall way through the weekend, saying nothing, making no Public Comments at all. I believe that joe biden will try to show the country that he can be a leader and take sort of a position of leadership to speak to the country. He says that he has been briefed about this. Hes being briefed by his National Security leaders. And thats whats going to happen before he comes out and speaks. And i imagine hell speak about that issue as well as other issues facing the country right before he takes office, hes going to inherit a country that is facing a number of challenges, including when it comes to National Security and i believe thats what hes going to talk about when he speaks today. Toluse, margaret, thank you both very much for all of that analysis. Okay. Also, developing overnight, authorities have identified the man who blew himself up inside an rv on Christmas Morning in downtown nashville. But his motive is still unclear. This is the new Surveillance Video from the moment that that motor home blew up. You can see that it damaged dozens of buildings and also knocked out at t service in the area. Cnns natasha chen is live in nashville with the latest. What is the latest at this hour, natasha . Well, alisyn, investigators are still working at the scene, several blocks away from us. But yesterday in this spot, investigators named Anthony Quinn warner as the suspect. The u. S. Attorney for the middle district of tennessee said he was here when the bomb went off and died in the explosion. This is a relatively fast process to get him identified. They used fragments of the rv and the blast to get a vehicle identification number, to trace back to the owner. They also found human tissue that was quickly processed at quanti quantico along with other dna samples. Police released late last night that new video of the blast. That orange glow and those harrowing moments. And you also see an officer in that video walking away from it in the seconds right before. Thats officer james wells. Heres what he said about that. You watch the video, you can see that moment of clarity for me, when i heard the guy say, go and check on him. So i was peeking around, looking like this and this. No, do around and go check on so i turn around and start walking in the opposite direction and three seconds later, boom. So im not going to shy away from that, because thats what saved my life. Thats what got me to see my kids and my wife on christmas. Reporter Law Enforcement say warner was not on their radar prior to this incident. Theyre still looking into a motive here, going into his history, talking to people who might have come into contact with him, who knew him. The type of explosives used are still under investigation, as well. In the meantime, governor bill lee has asked for federal aid related this disaster, but we have not yet heard from President Trump on that, alisyn natasha, thank you very much.

Authorities have now identified the bomber as 63yearold anthony warner. The only person killed, thankfully, in the blast, but dozens of buildings sustained significant damage. The question, of course, now, how did he do it and why did he do it . Joining us now, i know senior Law Enforcement analyst, andrew mccabe. He is the former Deputy Director of the fbi. Andrew, good to have you on this morning. Good morning. First, big picture, if we can. This is an american citizen, an apparent suicide bomber on u. S. Soil. Tell us the significance of that . Its extraordinarily rare, jim. Extraordinarily rare. We have seen many, you know, numerous people who are motivated by International Terrorism or domestic terrorist ideology try to detonate device here in the United States. Many of those, the fbi has been able to foil. But very few of them include someone who is willing to kill themselves in the course of that act. I spent time with new York Police Department counterterror folks a couple of years ago. And they have enormous alarm bells set up. If you buy acetone, like something you can make a bomb out of at a hardware store, alarm bells go off. This was an enormous and apparently sophisticated explosive device. How much of a security miss here that he was able to construct this and set it off entirely under Law Enforcement radar . Well, well find out. As we get more about this particular scenario. But it is true that Law Enforcement, at the state and local and federal level maintain what they refer to as trip wires. So thats communications into the industries that prepare the precursors and the materials that could be used to assemble explosive devices. But it is not a perfect system. Explosives, like tnt and militarygrade explosives are very highly regulated, but precursors are not. And as we know, theres a lot of information out on the internet these days to instruct people on how to assemble devices if they wish to do that. It is far from a perfect science, trying to be aware of every person who purchases stuff that they could use to hurt people. Sure, listen, fertilizer bombs, right, go back to oklahoma city. Basic materials can create giant devices here. Okay, lets talk about motive. And it is too early. They have not assigned a motive here, but based on the clues that we have so far, for instance, parking this bomb in front of an at any time transmission facility, do we have a sense of what the possibilities are, as to what motivates this . Well, sure. Theres always all kinds of possibilities. Thats exactly what the investigators are looking for now, as they course through all of the material in his home, his internet usage, people who hes in contact with on email and phone and things of that nature to see if hes left behind any writings or indications of what his belief system may have been. But i agree with you, jim. I think that the odds that this is simply a suicide are very small. Its very, very rare to assemble a device of this size and to deploy it on a public street, where you know, clearly, this individual knew he could wreak great havoc and cause loss of life. Its hard to imagine anyone going through that level of planning and execution without having something to say. Now, we do know in the history of bombings in this country, you can look to someone like theodore kaszynski. So ted kaczynski, also known as the unabomber, very dedicated to an antitechnology philosophy, you could be in a situation like that, looking at the at t building as a potential target. But were far from making drawing that conclusion yet. We have a lot of investigation to do. You know, and again, it is early here. But in the span of a few weeks, weve seen the danger of domestic groups or individuals. You had the plot to kidnap and harm the michigan governor. Quite a sophisticated plot there. They were thankfully caught in advance. You have this. I mean, this country spent years focused on International Terror groups and organizations. Islamist terror, which remains a very severe threat, but the fbi has been sounding the alarm for some time about the danger of domestic terrorism, that kind of violence. What have we learned about the severity of that threat . Well, we should know by now that the variety of the domestic terrorism threat is equal to or greater than the threat we currently threat from International Terrorism. The fbi director has said exactly that under oath on the hill recently. The end you know, you have to put this against the backdrop of an incredibly divided society. We become more polarized in our political speech every day. And also, you have to factor in that these groups, particularly the racially focused groups and the more hardcore rightwing groups, who have always existed in the kind of backwaters, as a fringe ideology in this country, are now experiencing a renewed approval or acknowledgement from the absolutely highest levels of our government, including the president of the United States. That is a volatile mixture that our Law Enforcement folks are going to need a very close eye on. No question. And again, it appeared no assignment of motive in this nashville attack yet. Therefore, not called terrorism without that. But again, watching the big picture. Andrew mccabe, great to have you on. Thanks, jim. Good to be here. Well, the deadliest month yet in this pandemic.

The coronavirus death toll in december is horrible. Nearly 65,000 deaths reported this month alone. More than 5. 5 million coronavirus cases this month. Both are record breaking, since the pandemic began. Joining us now, cnn medical analyst, dr. Jonathan reiner. Hes a professor of medicine at George Washington university. Dr. Reiner, great to see you, as always. 65,000 deaths this month. And yet, do you still think that january, next month, will be worse . Well, i think it depends on how much of a surge we get from the christmas and new years holiday. We saw a spike after thanksgiving and then really disappointingly, over the last week, about a million travelers passed through airports every day. So i think were going to see a spike. And its really frustrating, because if you look at the data over the last ten days, it actually started to show some signs of life. Places like the midwest, with unmistakable drops a drop in number of cases, even the northeast, u. S. Positivity rate had dropped from about 12 down to about 10 . Those are really tangible signs of a slowing of the crisis. And now there almost certainly will be another spike. Dr. Reiner, so well take the bad news with the good news, right . The vaccine is rolling out. So far, 1. 9 Million People vaccinated. The warp speed operation warp speed goal had been 20 million by the end of the year. But dr. Fauci saying, he still thinks that goal is attainable because in part, he says, more people have been vaccinated than that 1. 9 million and records kachi catching up. But big picture, how do you rate the rollout of the vaccine so far . Is it going according to plan . I think its been slower than we wanted. I think weve been surprised by about how much Vaccine Hesitancy there is, even in some of the folks who work in medical centers and other Health Care Facilities around the United States. And we really have to spend a lot of time educating the public about the safety and efficacy of these vaccines. So weve vaccinated about 2 Million People. Even if the number is a little bit larger because of issues with reporting, still, not nearly enough. So theres a Million People a week. To get to 80 of the population, we need to vaccinate about 250, 260 Million People folks. Closer to almost 300 Million People, and that would take us five years at that rate. Thats obviously not thats obviously not going to do it. But as the vaccine gets out into 1b, when we open it up to folks who are over the age of 75 and front line workers, and start seeing vaccines in retail chains like cvs and walgreens and places like that, well see much larger numbers. But i had some conversations with colleagues at work today this weekend about starting to think about innovative ways to distribute vaccine to the community. You know, mobile vans that take vaccine out and do vaccination days at churches or schoolyards. Things like that, really getting out on the Grassroots Level and using that as an opportunity to educate people about the safety and need and efficacy of these vaccines. Obviously, vaccines are the huge game changer, but so would home testing be. And you know, we keep hearing about how the fda has approved it. When will this be commonplace, that we can go to cvs and buy a home testing kit and administer it ourselves and get the results . Not soon enough. Look, i thought that was the key to opening schools all along. Now, it has not reached the level of consumer use in the United States, over concerns whether it was sensitive enough. In other words, whether that kind of testing has too much false negatives. But that was really a fallacious argument. Think about home testing as a gigantic fish net. Maybe the holes are slightly larger in this fish net, but because the net is so large, you capture so many more fish. Thats what home testing is. We should have had that months ago. Hopefully, well have it over the next several months. Its a big miss for the country, with enormous consequences. Lets hope the vaccine rollout goes better. Dr. Jonathan reiner, thanks so much, as always. My pleasure, thank. Well, columbus, ohios police chief wants an officer fired after the shooting of a black man.

The family of andre hill, an unarmed black man fatally shot by a columbus, ohio, police officer, is demanding justice this morning. Police just released body cam video, and we must warn you, it is very disturbing to watch. On december 22nd, police were called to a nonemergency in the area. Video shows mr. Hill walking towards the officer with a cell phone in his left hand. His right hand was not visible on the video. Then the officer opens fire. Instead of immediately providing aid to mr. Hill, as he lay on the ground put your [ bleep ] hands out to the side hands out to the side. The officer is heard there cursing and shouting for him to get his hands out. The police chief, i should say, has called for that officer to be fired. And were joined now by the attorney for the hill family, Benjamin Crump and andre hills daughter, carissa hill and his sister, shauna arnett. Ladies, were so sorry that your family is going through this. Thank you. Thank you. Carissa, tell us what you thought when Police Released that video and you saw what happened to your dad . Well, they came to my house and they showed me the video. It was five strangers and they just showed me a guy get out of a car with a gun and shoot my dad as soon as they saw him. And thats all this in my head is my dad lying on the floor. After that video. Did that video yeah, carissa, could that video answer any questions for you . None at all. My family raised so many questions and concerns after that video. Shauna, what did you see on that video . I saw them take my brothers life, snatch his life away within a matter of seconds. No questions asked or anything. And then leave him on the ground, like an animal, and not administer any kind of medical help or anything. Sawnnhauna, ive heard you s your brother was not opposite, he was the opposite of violent. He was a helper. He had on i mean, in a tragic show of symbolism, he was wearing a black lives matter shirt when he was shot. What what can you tell us about your brother . My brother was the most loving person that you could ever meet. He had no he knew no strangers. He didnt have a violent bone in his body. He was always the person who would lend a helping hand. Always the person to deescalate and calm situations down. He was not that was not his character to be intruding or anything like that on anybody. So my question that i need to have answered is, why, why did this happen to him . Yeah. Karissa, you say that your dad was your best friend, you lived with him, he was a vital part of your kids lives. And yes, maam. So how do you make sense of any of this . Im still trying to make sense with it, honestly. Im still trying to face reality that this is my dad that everybodys talking about. Im just used to seeing this on the news now. Im just used to seeing police use brutal force. I just never thought that my dad, him kissing me on monday night in my bathroom before he left would be his last time kissing me. My children go ahead. Ill let her, go ahead, karissa. My children, theyre still not understanding where their big daddy is at. Thats what theyre used to, theyre used to their big daddy on christmas, and we couldnt even have a christmas dinner, because this officer took their big daddy away. Yeah. I mean, obviously, this coming three days before christmas is just another horrible blow for the family. Mr. Crump, why didnt police render aid after this . I mean never mind why did this happen . Why then didnt they help him once they realized that a horrible mistake had been made here . Alisyn, it seems to be a flagrant disregard for human life and as shauna and karissa said, no one understands why they shot this unarmed africanamerican who had a cell phone in his hand and nothing else in the first place, and we definitely dont understand why none of them, not once officer rendered medical assistance to him, even though they are trained to be First Responders and he is literally on the ground gasping for breath. Alisyn, it seems to be this culture that you shoot first and ask questions later when theres black people. But then you dont even treat them with the benefit of humanity. I mean, there is video that the family understands exist that after seven minutes of him laying motionless on the ground, they then put him in handcuffs. And so were demanding that the other Police Body Cam video be released, so the world can see that they continue to show disrespect to unarmed black people in 2020 after seeing george floyd, after seeing jacob blake jr. , after seeing ahmad aubrey. How many more black people would die in 2020 before we say, enough is enough . This is 96 black people since george floyd was killed on may 25th, 2020, that has been killed by the police. So just so im clear on that, youre saying 96 unarmed black people have been shot since george floyd . We know the guardian said 96 black people, black men and women. And there may be different circumstances, but we know that number, during a pandemic, is just shocking, when you think about george floyd was supposed to be the turning point where we stopped this and the fact that andre hill had a black lives matter tshirt, that had justice for george floyd on it when he was shot. I do want to ask you about that. Shauna, the fact that your brother was wearing black lives matter, what did that mean to him . That meant everything to him. The struggle that we go through, as far as black lives matters, how our people are being just shot and killed for no reason. And not getting any justification, like our lives dont matter. Like were not worth anything p. I mean, i stated before, animals have more rights than we do right now. It seems like they care more for the animals out there. To let my brother lay there and die and not offer any help in the 13minute footage that we watched is unacceptable. But yet, they put him in handcuffs. They dont offer medical assistance, they put a dead man in handcuffs. While the officer was able to relieve his cough and get water. They let my brother lay there and didnt offer any help or assistance to him. Karissa, i know that your kids are little. What have you told them about what happened . Well, unfortunately, my 6yearold, he saw it on the news, because i guess its everywhere, so he ended up seeing it by hisself, and i had to tuck him in and talk to him about it, actually. My son just said that he prays to god that big daddy gets off the floor and comes home. And it was just the hardest thing to have to tell them that big daddy is here with us and weve just got to fight for whats right and what big daddy wants. And he just looked at me and said, im going to be strong like big daddy told me to be. Mr. Crump, whats next . Whats the status of this officer . Well, today, theyre having a termination hearing based on the mayor and the Police Chiefs recommendation. However, there is no guarantee that he will be terminated. And thats inexplicable to us, but we will find out that information today, whether this officer will be terminated, especially based on his history, alisyn. He apparently used Excessive Force against another citizen, beating his head into a windshield and that has been reported on. So what more will it take for us to say that some people are not fit to have a badge and a gun and be able to use deadly force in the name of the law. Karissa, shauna, well stay on this case. Were so sorry that youre going through this. Obviously, there are still so many questions that need to be answered. Mr. Crump, please keep us posted on what happens and well be watching today.

Reporter its been a year well never forget. In 2020, we witnessed worldchanging paradigmshifting events, all happening under the cloud of the covid19 coronavirus pandemic. But whats the secret in reporter and cnn was there every step of the way. He was very scared. Hes no longer safe.
