Identified in the united kingdom, has been found in two states here. And although the scientific breakthroughs that brought us two vaccines in record time should be giving us hope, the reality is a replay of a missing national strategy, the missing strategy we first saw with testing and Contact Tracing falling apart. Actual vaccinations now falling far below Administration Promises of 20 million shots in arms by tonight. So far only about 2. 8 million americans have received their first dose. Joining me now is dr. Anthony fauci, director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases. As of january 20, president elect joe bidens chief medical adviser. Dr. Fauci, thank you very much for being with us today. Good to be with you. We are, as you well know, you know we are in the midst of that dark winter that you and so many have warned about. The terrible sevenday trend line, there could be as many as 80,000 new coronavirus deaths by january 23 because a Record Number of peo
For an Historic Second impeachment trial for inciting last weeks deadly insurrection. Well have a full report on that. Also, there are now more than 23 million recorded covid infections and soon 387,000 deaths here in the United States. The u. S. Has added 100,000 new cases today. Over 1800 people have lost their lives so far. President elect will lay out plans tonight to vaccinate americans and rescue the economy. 965,000 americans filed for first time under employment claims last week. Rising by 181,000 from the week before. We have a great group of reporters and analysts on hand to help us dig into all of this. We do want to begin with nbc news correspondent Allison Barber on capitol hill, and nbc correspondent Kelly Odonnell across from the white house. Allison, lets talk about you. All eyes are on the inauguration right now. Theres always tight security around these events. Thats not a surprise. But based on where you are standing, tell us about what you are seeing surrounding thi
Thats shooting at the location. All six people shot, four killed, including 20yearold joe perez and 23yearold akeilh dasilva. I could only think of my brother when i was hiding. James shaw, jr. Confronted the gunman and took his rifle. I thought, hes going to get us either way, or get me either way, so i was looking for an opportunity, waiting for a chance. When i saw the barrel down, i just saw my opportunity. I attacked. No doubt, he saved many lives by wrestling the gun away. This is the president s huge Foreign Policy week. Just a few hours from now, he will welcome french president emanual macromacron. Later this week, hell host angela merkel. Theyll discuss everything from syria to trade wars, with macron expected to press President Trump not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. New developments surrounding north korea and august jsuggest leader there is taking the american president for a ride. Wow, we havent given up anything, and they have agreed to denuclearization. So great
Constantly, and who appeals to lack an external moral framework. Do you think President Trump has been compromised by the russians . I dont know. These are words i never thought would come out of my mouth about an american president. Its possible. Im not saying it is likely. Theres a nonzero possibility that the russians have some some sway over him that is rooted in his personal experience. I dont know whether thats the business about the activity in moscow hotel room, finances or something else. I think the Deputy Attorney general has performed in a good way since my firing. I dont know this, but i suspect part of it is to make up for what he did in connection with my firing. What ive seen him do, which is stand up for the rule of law and the Justice Department and the need for independent Law Enforcement to resist the president saying, prosecute that person, dont prosecute that person, dont come after me, has been really good and important. What i hope people will see in the book is
An initial tweet after boarding air force one that clarified his comments on the Intelligence Community. He wanted to make sure that was clear. At the very first chance he had in a public setting, the following day, he clarified his comments and i dont think that it was that long for that to be the very first public appearance that he had following arriving back to the United States. Its a pretty long time and it was out there for quite a time it wasnt 24 hours before he responded at all. Again, he put out an initial tweet from air force one. To clarify his remarks to clarify the would to wouldnt or wouldnt to would. And i think a lot of people would argue that there was ample time for the president. He tweets all the time from air force one. And he tweeted that night. To put out a statement which clarified what he meant to say during the joint News Conference and he didnt do that. What took so long is my question . Once he reviewed the transcript, he wanted to publicly he wanted to pu
