By summer, we will be able to go back to offices and open up those restaurants and bars and say, okay. We are in a completely different stage than right now, where were headed into this significant increase. I mean today, you know, was just another record day with almost 2,000 deaths. I could see, though, even in the summer, even if ive taken the vaccine, i could see and i would take the vaccine if i could get it. I could see still carrying a mask with me if i found myself on a particularly crowded subway or if i found myself in some situation. I feel like masks are, at least for me, here to stay whether its constant or not. Well, the amazing thing is how little flu were seeing, and thats the behavioral change. The mask has very little downside. Nobody so there will be some residual. Will we have big Sports Events by then, or does that take even longer . But certainly, you know, to lay the groundwork so that the next school year is completely normal, we can get the whole country, every
State of michigan told cnn this morning she has confidence in the system. The state legislature has said, the leaders have already confirmed publically they have no desire or intent to overturn the will of the people. This whole thing, this step really is too much for some republicans. Not many, but a couple. Like senator mitt romney, who released a scathing statement about trumps Pressure Campaign on michigan saying trump has resorted to overt pressure on people to overturn the election. Its difficult to imagine a worse, undemocratic action by a sitting president. After fighting and losing in courtrooms across the country, the president s new legal strategy seems to be burn it down and poison the wells. Sending out Rudy Giuliani to make a public case for their legal long shots but it was just bizarre and not founded in reality. Even blaming voter fraud chavez, whos been dead for seven years. Ben sasse put it this way, Wild Press Conference e erode public tres. So no obviously rudy and
Rudy giuliani. What he suggested today on Live Television revealed the truth. There is no rational argument for delay by trump. Not anymore. And there is no further justification, not that there ever was, for deadheaded denial by his party. Literally, judging what rudy said today, i have only heard its equal in an intervention with someone who was literally insane. Now, everybodys talking about this, how rudy looked. And they will suggest that the picture tells the story. Now, ill get to what i think all this was about. But what i know and what matters more is that this action was the best thing rudy had going today because it distracted from what he was saying. This was his case to you. The vote was a fraud and you were all in on it. There was a plan from a centralized place to execute these various acts of voter fraud, specifically focused on big cities and specifically focused on as you would imagine big cities controlled by democrats. And they control Law Enforcement and unfortunat

International correspondent Jim Bittermann joining us from paris and cnn aviation analyst peter goels joining us from dallas. Jim, walk us through exactly what the copilot did on that earlier flight how investigators now came to the conclusioning that it was a rehearsal for what eventually wound up doing. Right. Exactly. Basically the earlier flight was the outbound flight from dusseldorf to barcelona and during that flight at one point, the pilot left the cockpit leaving the copilot lubitz in charge and he dialed into the setting on the autopilot, he dialed in the lowest setting, 100 feet. He had been ordered to descend according to air Traffic Controllers, descend from 37,000 to 35,000 and instead of setting it at 35,000 he set it to 100 feet and then just about a minute later, he again was ordered to descend by the air Traffic Controllers and they said to go down to 21,000 feet.
