Confirmation would face some early challenges on capitol hill as some lawmakers are raising concerns that austin has not been retired from active duty long enough to honor the tradition and the law mandating civilian control of the military. Indeed, his confirmation would require a waiver from that law. President elect biden is also gearing up for a handful of other major announcements in the coming days, including two more cabinet members, tom vilsack, and marcia fudge as housing and urban secretary. The president elect spent most of his speech today mostly defending austin and the unique qualifications that austin would b bring to the leadership. Thats right, and he also a addressed this issue of a waiver head on, asking congress to authorize a waiver for his choice for defense secretary, lo lloyd austin, to serve. These types of waivers are so rare, and some democrats on the hill have already expressed reservations about granting as they did four years ago with President Trumps pick jerry mattis. I would not be asking for this exception if i did not believe this moment in our history didnt call for it. He is the person we need at this moment, in my view. Given the urgent threat and challenges of our nations forces, he should be confirmed swiftly. Reporter and just a short while ago, one of bidens top allies on capitol hill, congressman jim clyburn, called on congress to authorize this waiver for austin. And, of course, austins nomination, if he is confirmed, is historic as he would be the first africanamerican to lead the pentagon. Im told austin will begin meeting with lawmakers early next week as his confirmation process kicks off. Arlette, president elect biden is expected to make two other cabinet announcements this week, and were also told he is narrowing his search for his attorney general. Walk us through these decisions. Reporter well, the attorney general job is one of those major jobs still outstanding in bidens cabinet, and cnn has learned of a few of the leading contenders for that position. Take a look at these possible choices, one of them being outgoing alabama senator doug jones. He is someone who biden has known for decades and has a very close working relationship. There is also former attorney general sally yates is one of the leading contenders, along with the federal Appeals Court judge, merrick garland. Youll remember him because president obama nominated garland for the supreme court, but republicans did not allow that to go through. Now, the timing on his naming of an attorney general is still a bit unclear, but it is on the horizon. But later this week, we are expecting the president elect to nominate two other cabinet members, that being former Iowa Governor tom vilsack, who he is asking to reprise his role of agriculture secretary, and hes also asking representative marcia fudge as housing and urban secretary. The members of the Biden Administration will need to lobby members of their own party, and while they go through members of the senate, not their own house, confirming lloyd austin will require a special waiver since he hasnt been retired for seven years. Congresswoman slotkin joins us live. Thank you for joining us. You said on twitter that you have deep respect for austin but that his appointment, quote, serving a recently retired general to serve as civilian just seems off, unquote. So you will vote against a waiver . Im leaving it open. I need to hear from general austin and the Biden Administration what theyre going to do to make sure his recently retired status isnt going to keep him from taking counsel from the civilian part of the pentagon. Weve seen the active role of the pentagon. I used to be at the pentagon, so i hear about it constantly. I need to know that general austin is going to support bringing that robust role back, and thats just harder considering hes coming from a uniformed background. Hes fantastic, hes amazing, and i worked with him directly over many, many years, but its not about him specifically, its the principle. And principles are there because, frankly, our Founding Fathers put them in place, and the law has been in place since 1947. I need to hear from him and from the Biden Administration what theyre going to do to ensure that civilian role. Did you hear anything in todays announcement that quelled your reservations . President elect biden saying this is the right man for the job and its an extraordinary time and hes the one i need to do this. Vice president elect harris saying the same thing. I dont think there is any disagreement that lloyd austin is a fantastic military leader. I think what i felt good about was hearing from general austin himself and talking about the importance of the civilian role. He verbalized that. So that was a good start. I just hope he comes im a member of the House Armed Services committee. We all vote on the waiver, and my hope is that hes open to making commitments to ensure that strong, robust civil role. Sources say that president elect biden and general austin have known each other a long time and there is a Comfort Level between them. That does seem to be a theme between these biden picks, and i wonder that youre concerned at all that biden is overlooking candidates who could be potential great cabinet officials, cabinet secretaries, but dont know him as well because they, for example, are younger, they didnt serve in the obama administration. Is it possible that this Comfort Level is too important . I dont know, i think that all president s choose a cabinet they feel comfortable with. I think that thats the privy thats the responsibility of any president is to nominate people that he feels comfortable with. They also should be qualified, and i think you can look at all the people that have been nominated so far. These are qualified people. I dont have a concern about that. The important thing is that President Biden have an atmosphere where he supports people pushing back and coming up with alternative views. As long as he creates that atmosphere, i have no doubt that he will do that, then it should be fine to have people hes known for a long time and that hes comfortable with. Lets talk about the bipartisan proposal, 908 billion for a covid relief package. Im sure you have a lot of constituents who definitely need help because the economy is still struggling so much as the pandemic gets worse. When you heard from constituents, what did they tell you was the most critical thing they need from congress right now . I think for a lot of people, its extension of unemployment. They dont have their jobs right now so they want to make sure they can still survive and unemployment is going to run out. For our small businesses, they want access to not just loans but some potential loans for business so they can make it through the winter. We need the vaccine, to get that distributed. Food security, look at some of the lines for our food banks. People need to acknowledge thats a modern day red line, right . Thats the kind of thing you see when you look back in the 1920s, and 40 of those people have never been to a food bank in their entire life. We cant go home for christmas without some sort of a deal, and i wish everybody felt the same sense of urgency. I dont know how theyre avoiding it. Im being bombarded in my offices in phone calls, texts. Just when i go Grocery Shopping people want to know we can still get something done for the country. We just cant go home without that. We are still waiting for a vaccine, and the point woman for a vaccine rollout told cnn that her role was to vaccinate 70 of michigans adult population. Is that enough . Listen, i think were going to have to see about the Distribution Plans and make sure we can get our hands on all the vaccine that we want. Wed like to have more. We know that there is skepticism about the vaccine, and i think peoples confidence will grow when they see people they know and people they respect getting the vaccine. Id like it to be north of that, but our Health Officials in michigan are extremely conscientious. I always trusted a doctors advice over mine.

We are just one day away to find out if the Pfizer Vaccine gets emergency use in the u. S. , and frankly that cant come fast enough because america is losing 2,000 lives every day. 2,000. Compared to a month ago, the average was less than 1,000 death az ds a day, which seemed an unbelievable number back then. There are plans to distribute the vaccine, but many state leaders are raising questions. Reporter cold weather, covid fatigue, and a vicious virus that just wont quit. Its going to be a rough couple months. Reporter the u. S. Averaging 206,000 new cases a day. Thats up 70 in just four weeks. Daily reported deaths even more alarming, skyrocketing 123 in that same period. I mean, you got to think that everyone is a loved one. Reporter hospitals struggling.

Reporter new questions about pfizers vaccine which was just given the okay in canada after two Health Care Workers in the uk had an allergic reaction. The fda is not cutting any corners.

Youre looking to lose at least a quarter of staff in that first goround. Reporter when could that first goround happen . Thats the big question, jake. It will happen if and after that authorization use is granted. They say theyre guessing probably next week could be that first shipment. Theyre anticipating just about a thousand doses in the first shipment. There is a lot of excitement, a lot of buzz, but also a lot of questions. So there is a virtual town hall for the staff tomorrow to answer any questions they have. The vaccine rollout will be stagger staggered. Of course, they dont want to do all the nurses in one department at once, for example. That will be about 160 people ideally a day. That doesnt include just the doctors and nurses but any staff working in those critical areas. This involves housekeeping, this involves the folks coming in and out of those rooms potentially dealing with patients, anyone with that frontfacing interaction, as i was told, with a patient. Erica hill, nice reporting. Thank you very much. Just one day after they started vaccinating citizens there, people with a history of significant allergic reactions. A history of significant allergic reactions are being told not to take the Covid Vaccine after two people in britain suffered severe allergic reactions. Phil black is in scotland. What are you learning about these cases . Of the thousands of people vaccinated so far, people over 80 or front line medical staff, these two Health Workers have experienced this adverse reaction, as its described. These are people with a history of allergic reactions, so much so that they are people that carry around doses of adrenaline with them just in case. We dont know the specifics, but we are told they were treated and they are fine. But as a precaution, the regulators say they are now putting this in place, so people who have experienced severe allergic reactions because of food, medicine or vaccines, they should not take the vaccine at that time. The people behind the vaccine are helping with an investigation. Pfizer points out its phase 3 clinical trial, among the 40,000 people who took part, there have been no reported health concerns, but we know from the u. S. Food and Drug Administration that within that trial group, no one with that history of serious allergic reactions was allowed to take part. So the u. K. Regulator has to get to the bottom of all this now, but its important to note that while thats happening, a frart this very specific targeted advice to a regulated small amount of people, they continue to benefit from it and it continues to be a source of joy and hope from people in this country, jake.

Org in our politics lead today, a clearly angry and frustrated President Trump is lashing out on twitter, calling on courts to overturn the Election Results and declare him the winner. But as the president continues to deny reality, members of his own administration are meeting with the Biden Transition Team to ensure a smooth transfer of power. Cnns Kaitlan Collins is at the white house, and kaitlan, the president can tweet whatever deluded Conspiracy Theory he wants, but even some of his closest advisers are accepting the reality that joe biden won and donald trump lost. Reporter yeah, and i think th this is the first cabinet secretary to admit hes met with the Biden Transition Team. Its not clear if others have and theyre just not saying much, but he has actually met with members of the Biden Transition Team. He did not say he met with the ag secretary pick yet. He wanted to wait for confirmation hearings before he did Something Like that. But it makes it clear that what is happening right now, the rollout of the vaccine and the Distribution Plan is important to them, and thats why azar said he met with the Transition Team already, he wants it to be a smooth transition. Just a few days ago he was referring to joe biden as the Vice President , when he was corrected by Chris Wallace that hes the president elect. He didnt say anything, but what hes saying today is different than yesterday when biden wasnt inviting people to that summit, saying we dont know who will be the next one, but it does appear to be the ag secretary. Republican mike johnson of louisiana, hes now asking all House Republicans to join him in this amicus brief, backing President Trumps launch of the case in texas, which would essentially overturn four states that biden won. We have to point out, we have discussed this lawsuit on the show before, and its not taken seriously by any credible legal experts on the left or the right. What more can you tell us about this push . Reporter yeah, michigans attorney general, i think, said its a frivolous lawsuit, basically a waste of taxpayers money. We know johnson reportedly spoke to the president and the president asked him to sign off and join that brief. Basically it would have meant more of a show of force than any kind of legal effort thats going to be successful. Many people do view it as a long shot, but it shows you as the president is continuing to fight the results of this election and lif living in this world of an alternate reality where he thinks he actually won the election, he is tightening in the grip of the gop even though its seen as dubious by my law experts who are looking at this. So while the president is undermining democracy, he is having people help him in this effort. George conway, who the president once considered for the position of solicitor general in his administration was on the show yesterday, and he said that lawsuit is full of lie after lie after lie. Its just not a credible lawsuit. Its full of nonsense and conspiracy theories. Kaitlan, thanks so much. Lets discuss this. One House Republican told me today that he was put off by congressman johnsons email. He said, are we the party of list making now . Because johnson said he was going to provide a list of those House Republicans who were going to join this amicus brief and provide that to President Trump. What do you think, is this move going to ultimately divide republicans, or are they all pretty much going to be on board . I think we know what weve seen with republicans so far, theyre going to get on board with this president. There is no evidence to suggest that theyre republicans who want to cross this president , even though he has lost this election. They know he wants to remain in power out of office, and theyre going to do everything they can to show this president loyalty, theyre going to do that because they know if they dont, this president will tweet something, maybe he will back a primary challenger against them, so, no, i dont think there is going to be any division. The choice that republicans have had to make is either be fully on board with donald trump or essentially leave the party, leave congress, become an independent, and weve seen some do that. But yeah, his group in the Republican Party has been very, very tight in office and it will be very, very tight even as hes out of office. We should note there are a handful of expectations, congressman rickle and others. Yes. Its not just the president issuing the threat. He asked kim ward, the leader of the pennsylvania summit, if she would sign a letter supporting President Trumps claim of fraud in the election office. She said, if i told you i didnt want to do it, i would get my house bombed tonight. This is where the Republican Party is now. If you cross the president , you actually fear for your life. Well, its disgraceful, its outrageous, and what youre seeing is a litmus test that is being established by the president. It is the trump i call it the trump rigged election caucus, and these are the people who are going to sign on to that because not because they believe it was a rigged election, but because they believe that their political careers would be over, as nia is saying. So if you take a step back and you look at this, the president is clearly losing legally, hes trying to undermine the constitution, but politically what hes doing and he may win at it, jake what hes doing is trying to gather his troops to fight the next war. And whether that is in undermining every other republican who doesnt agree with him, keeping his base so maybe he can run in 2024, or if he cant be the king, then let him be the king maker. Because he has to be the center of attention, he has to be all powerful, so right now hes making a list, hes taking names and hes checking it twice. And niamalika, congressman ron johnson is not ruling out supporting the president in challenging the election. Why do it . I dont know what to call it. Kissing the ring of trump in a very public way. Its the same thing going on in this lawsuit out of texas. They want to be on fox news, they want to be on rush limbaugh, and listen, they want to win reelection. They want to be in Good Standing with this president , get a phone call from this president , anything like that. That is what they have been doing these last many years as donald trump has been in office. I think they initially thought that if they show loyalty to this president , he would, you know, at some point leave the scene and maybe they could run for president. That base would then come to them. That doesnt look like its happening. I think donald trump wants to maintain his power, possibly run for reelection and keep that base for himself or maybe one of his children. The calculus here doesnt seem like it will work out long term for these folks who feel like they want to inherit Donald Trumps base and maybe rights of the white house. By calling these lawmakers, by trying to influence these lawmakers to change the outcome of a free and Fair Election in their state is illegal. Its election tampering. I dont care if youre doing it on a phone from the oval office, or youre doing it on a phone from your basement. What the president is doing is wrong, and he should be held accountable for it. Making challenges in court is one thing. Of course, he is completely allowed to do that if he wants to. He doesnt have a case anywhere, obviously, but at a certain point, what he is doing is telling elected officials to say the election that got you elected was illegal because it didnt elect me, too. It is a clownish, and it will be a failed attempt at a coup, a nonviolent coup, but it is absolutely disgraceful. Theres really no other word for it other than that.

Humana, a more human way to healthcare. We are learning that operation warp speed, which is overseeing the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine, will begin shipping supplies to states starting today. This is ahead of the anticipated fda approval of pfizers vaccine tomorrow. Cnns sara murray has been following all the updates. Sara, tell us more about what youre learning about the preparations. Reporter look, jake, we know the Fda Advisory Committee is meeting tomorrow, and after that we wait for this fda authorization, and as soon as we get that clearance from the fda, these vaccines will be going out. We learned from operation warp speed today they are already starting to preposition some of these supplies. They have over 600 locations where the vaccines are going to, and ahead of that theyre sending out needles, syringes, alcohol swabs, face mask, all the things you would need to make sure people can get the vaccines once the actual drug arrived. Were getting closer. Were not there yet. We dont know exactly what the day is going to be that the actual vaccine gets shipped out, but the supplies are already on their way. Theyll continue to go out to these various location throughout the week, jake. The cdc says 209 2. 9 million doses will be going out in the first shipment. How do you know where thats sgsg going . Its going to several u. S. Locations, but we know that wont be enough, to these Health Care Facilities. Even the hospitals are starting to tier people who work for them, trying to figure out who should be in the front of the line when it comes to health care providers. Jake, this is the story for the next few months, at least. We have more people who want to get vaccinated than we do supply of the vaccine. And this is before we hit the general population, this is just the Health Care Workers and older folks. Well learn more as were going on, but in the short term, its going to be tough. Emergency physician at Brown University and medical analyst joins us now to discuss. You said nobody should be surprised with any issues we see having to do with vaccine manufacturing and distribution. Obviously, as a member of the general public, were not used to watching this process. Why shouldnt we be surprised . Listen, Public Health problems, jake, dont get fixed through magical thinking, nor do they get fixed through photo ops. Weve seen the Trump Administration time and time guenagaigueniagain invest in th stuff. They continually invest in a vaccine, but they continually fail to invest in that last mile. We still lack adequate ppe, we still lack adequate testing, we still lack adequate data. Ideally, at the same time that we started investing in treatcrg a vaccine, we would have invested in the strategy to distribute this vaccine, not just to Health Care Workers but to all the rest of the americans that need to get vaccinated, and we didnt. Trump cared about getting a vaccine out there. He didnt care about doing all the work that was needed in order to get vaccines in the arms of americans. Most states say theyre getting fewer vaccines in this first round than they were anticipating. Do these apparent shortages already posing a problem this early on worry you when you think about when the general public will get access to vaccines . Very much so. As the reporter just mentioned, Health Care Facilities across the country are already trying to ration and tier which Health Care Workers get to go first. Ideally, anyone in a health carocare position should get vac seecine the end of the year. They did not invest in buying those extra pfizer doses. If we cant get it to Health Care Workers, we certainly cant get it to the general public. State and government offices have been calling out for Government Strategy for months, and we continue to let them down. What do you make of the u. K. Advising that those who suffer from severe allergic reactions should not take this vaccine . There were two individuals who suffered side effects. Thats not a particularly surprising recommendation. First of all, this vaccine is being released, if at all, under an emergency use authorization. Pfizer and moderna have both done a great job of following the orderly sequence of trials. Theyve administered this vaccine to about 15, 20,000 people in both the pfizer and moderna trials. We have great data showing that for the vast majority of people, this is safe. But its not liuncommon that people with severe allergic reactions would have a severe reaction to a vaccine. Most of us will be watching people 15 to 30 minutes after vaccine administration. I think after this vaccine rolls out, we have to expect there might be moderate side effects. The good news is there are very few, if any, reports of lifethreatening side effects we were worried about early on. Reporter phil black in the u. K. Said those two individuals are now being okay. They got treated so thats good news. Los angeles is enforcing fullblown stayathome orders right now, but other places are not. Massachusetts, for example, are limiting capacity in gyms, libraries, retail stores, movie theaters. Theyre reducing it to 40 . What do you think is the right amount of restrictions right now given the current state of the pandemic . So im going to take us back. If we had gone back three, four weeks, even two months ago maybe decreasing things from 50 to 40 would have made a difference. But right now were at the point where this virus is spreading exponentially across the northeast. My home state of rhode island has the highest rate of covid19 infections than any other state. Massachusetts is right next to us. Going from 30 to 40 feels like moving deck chairs on the titanic. That is not going to significantly change this virus. At a moment like now where Charlie Baker is calling on hospitals to stop elective procedures, which, p. S. , theyre not really elective, theyre just not emergent. To do that and not shut down gyms just feels misguided. Dr. Megan ranney, i appreciate your time today. The only thing a disaster cant destroy is hope. Donate now at redcross.

New information today on what led to this police raid with guns drawn on the home of Rebecca Jones a former covid dat scientist who was fired by the state of florida for, quote, insubordination. The judge who signed that raid was sworn in november appointed by Governor Desantis. Jones said the raid was retaliation because she called out desantis for covering up the catastrophe he is making possible in florida. You have new reporting about the judge, drew. Reporter he is long but short on legal and judicial experience. Joshua hawks is his name. His father is a bigtime lobbyist in tallahassee and a former judge. He, himself, has been an attorney about six years, as you said, he was appointed just this fall by Governor Desantis to be a judge and has been sitting as a judge now since november 5th. Our attempts to reach the judge to try to ask him about this warrant, why he signed a warrant for a police raid in this case have gone unanswered. His clerk saying he wont talk about it. But the judge apparently has strong republican political connections at least in the tallahassee area. Drew, what is this about one of Governor Desantis republican appointees resigning in protest over this raid. Reporter yeah. There has been a lot of pushback from democrat lawmakers over the course are calling foul, but this is the first pushback we have seen from republicans. This is an appointee by the governor for a Judicial Commission down in the sarasota area. That guy, he says he is resigning in protest of this raid, specifically. But, in general, also of ron desantis handling of the covid crisis in florida. That is the first fallout we have seen from a republican in florida who have held ranks so far behind desantis but this raid is drawing new excrete knee to the governor there.
