Doubt that it happened. What we do know from Marjorie Taylor greene is she said it was a great call. She was grateful to have what she called the former president s support, and she also said that democrats are now attacking her in the same way that they used to attack donald trump. So, assuming that call happened, it is significant just because it shows how the former president remains in the background pulling strings, despite the fact that he does not is a twitter megaphone even as his own party up here on capitol hill continues the identity crisis, the blood letting, if you will. Theres another example of that, as you mentioned, that is the back and forth between Marjorie Taylor greene and senator mitt romney of utah. Romney tweeted out talking about the lies Marjorie Taylor greene has told and her claims that the election was stolen. She essentially shot back that romney cares nothing about what she called the peoples number one concern, and then, there was this, please grow a pair or get a spine, she tweeted. So, that is the state of play. No remorse, no apologies, no backing down from Marjorie Taylo taylor green, who of course has attracted calls from democrats for her ouster from congress because she has supported the assassination or execution of democratic members of congress. Of course important to say also that this is not a democratic issue. Its very much a question of the ugly public fight that continues between members of the Republican Party up here on capitol hill in the aftermath of the january 6th riot. Pamela, back to you. And mccar thus office says hell be meeting with her next week. Joe johns, thank you so much. Meantime another Marjorie Taylor greene twitter post has surfaced. It shows greene discussing the las vegas shooting, Steven Paddock Opened Fire on a crowd gathered for a music festival. Paddock was later found dead in his hotel room from a selfinflicted gunshot wound. But Marjorie Taylor greene thinks the massacre was staged to discourage support for the Second Amendment. Maybe you accomplish that by performing a mass shooting into a crowd that is very likely to be conservative, very likely to vote republican, very likely to be trump supporters, very likely to be pro Second Amendment, and very likely to own guns. Are they trying to terrorize our mindset and change our minds on the Second Amendment . Is that whats going on here . I have a lot of questions about that. I dont believe steven paddock was a lone wolf. I dont believe he pulled this off all by himself, and i know most of you dont either. We have reached out to congresswoman greene for comment on this post, and we are still waiting for a response. Now lets get to the latest on where things stand in the capitol riot investigation. Cnn correspondent whitney wild joins me now. Whitney, federal authorities are charging awe woman over disturbing threats she allegedly made. A woman named don bancroft and another woman diyanna santo smith, also charged, broke into the capitol on january 6th. So proud of themselves, in fact, that they took a selfie video in which they said excuse me, in which don broke into the capitol said, we broke into the capitol, we did our part. Heres where the story gets chilling. Don bancroft said in the selfie video, we were looking for nancy to shoot her in the freaking brain, but we didnt find her. That those words absolutely so frightening and it was just one example of that hyperbolic language and inflammatory language that seemed to so rampant on january 6th. Theres also news out this week, two members of the far right group the proud boys have been charged with conspiracy. Thats significant because in addition to a long list of other charges they face, the conspiracy represents a ramping up from prosecutors, a new phase in the case where prosecutors are going after the most severe charges possible. Theyre accused of basically conspiring together on january 6th, trying to stop police from protecting the capitol. Again, this represents a very significant moment in the case. However, their conspiracy is limited to january 6th. Thats different from other conspiracy charges we have seen, pamela, in which prosecutors say other people spent weeks or even months planning this riot. Yeah, that would show premedication. Whitney wild, thank you very much for bringing us the latest with that investigation. He may be gone but the former president is far from forgotten in the Republican Party. Even without his twitter account, Donald Trumps fan base is more activated than ever, it seems. This election was stolen. Trump won, i think, by a landslide. I will be with him wherever he goes, however he goes. Unification at what cost, okay . Selling out america . I cant do that. Joining me now with more, cnn Political Commentator and former u. S. Senator jeff flake. When you decided not to seek reelection, you famously said that you thought trump fever would soon break. That was in october of 2017. Do you see any evidence of that yet . Well, its tough to say that there has been much breakage yet. Im hopeful that it will. I think the president will lose influence the longer we go. But that will depend on other elected officials ignoring him and moving on and realizing that if we want to be relevant as a National Party weve got to get beyond trump and trumpism. Why do you think that they are still hitching their stock to trump so much . He lost the house in the midterms, then the white house and the senate, yet the Republican Party is still banking on him for the next round of midterms. Hes not even on twitter anymore. He doesnt even have that sway. Why does he still have so much influence . Theres still concerned that with a phone call the president could still generate a primary for just about anybody. And that is still the case right now. But thats only the case because so many elected officials simply go along with the big falsehood that the president won the election. And that is going to continue unless enough elected officials stand up and say no, lets move on. We need to be a relevant, rational party, and we cant do it if we continue to basically amplify the president s falsehoods. But, i mean, weve seen that happen. Y youre one example and youre seeing the republicans who stood up for impeachment getting punished, and youre seeing republicans who are perpetuating that falsehood still getting support like Marjorie Taylor greene. So, is that a realistic view that republicans who want to stay in politics will actually do that, given how many have been punished for standing up to trump . Well, if they do it together. If enough republicans, enough elected Officials Say were ready to move on, now, we cant count these falsehoods anymore about the election and we cant stand with people like congresswoman greene and all that she talks about. I mean, we cannot win National Elections or statewide elections in some states like arizona if we republicans continue down this path. At some point well realize that, but that time hasnt come yet, apparently. So, writing for politico, cnn senior political analyst said this, for trumps loyalists, trumps second impeachment has been taken less as an indictment of the former president s behavior than a cause to rally around him. A martyr for the degrieved base. Do you think the same effect is happening with Marjorie Taylor greene . Shes fundraising off her controversial comments that have come to light recently. I think the affinity with congresswoman greene will last less long, if you will. I cannot see too many members rallying around her given what she has said. If she were to apologize and say, hey, i misspoke so many times over the years and im ready to move ahead as a different person, that would be one thing. But shes not. It was clear today by what she tweeted out. She said, i will not apologize. And somebody who will not apologize for racist comments, for what she has said about these false flags she claims with the shootings and whatnot is just so crazy. Theres no other way to say it. And so i cannot see too many of my colleagues standing up for that. There will be resolutions that come to the floor of the House Of Representatives because democrats are in control. That will force republicans to take a position. And i think long before then, Kevin Mccarthy and others in the party are going to have to put some discipline there in terms of Committee Assignments or whatnot. I dont think that members will stand with her. But i want to just go outside the beltway and members of congress. I mean, what youre seeing is this dynamic out in the country that you saw with trump, that thats what ryan was talking about. The more he stirs up controversy, the more that his supporters sympathize for him. Look at him as a martyr, essentially. I mean, because there has been so much distrust built up over the years and so forth, its almost as though people, me americans who support people like donald trump or Marjorie Taylor greene, theyre more focused on how theyre treated in times like this than what theyve said thats controversial. What do you do about that . Its difficult to move beyond. I think ultimately the president did lose supporters. Frankly or democrats gained followers. This election was not really close. I mean, we had 74 electoral votes. You had 7 million popular votes that the president lost by. We in arizona have now two democrats representing us in the u. S. Senate. This is really this is not winning. And at some point, republicans will realize that. But right now they still see interest. They have to get by a primary to stick with the president. I dont think that will last, but it certainly is right now. And i dont see them standing with Marjorie Taylor greene very much longer. And before we go, i just want to ask you about the local politics in arizona and how you have been treated by arizona republicans who want to sensor you and others. What is your reaction to that . Well, if what it takes to stay in the good graces of the gop in arizona is to excuse the president s behavior, im just fine being on the outs. So, i know that cindy mccain feels the same way and the governor as well. So, yeah, nobody wants to be censured by their party, but the alternative is far worse. And just to be clear, you still consider yourself a republican . I do. I do. And i hope our party can come back. Im not one that says burn the party down. I want to rebuild the party into a party that believes in limited government and Economic Freedom and individual responsibility and strong american leadership. We can win on that message, but we cannot win if we cannot to condone the president s behavior and to follow this what really isnt a philosophy at all. Its more of an attitude. And it is just not theres nothing sustainable or coherent there. But it just cannot last much longer if we want to be a Relevant Party in the future. Okay. Former senator jeff flake. Thank you for coming on sharing your views, being part of your saturday evening with us. You bet. California is reporting more than 40,000 deaths so far from the coronavirus. But despite, the states largest county is easing some restrictions. Paul vercammen is there. Paul. Reporter thats right, pam. Look behind me. All of these people out at a restaurant for the first time in a long time. Well explain why theyre easing restrictions and why one Restaurant Owner is very upset with a rule that pertains to tvs and the super bowl. Plus weve seen the fringe Conspiracy Theory qanon reach the halls of congress, but now its reaching leaders in other positions of power. The story of one small towns mayor is just ahead.

But Los Angeles County has decided to allow restaurants to reopen Outdoor Dining at 50 capacity. Health concerns are top of mind, but the Economic Impact cant be ignored either. Tell me more about this decision. Reporter its a Wrestling Match in california, pam. First the governor projected there would be more Intensive Care Unit beds available in the coming weeks, so he loosened restrictions. Here in l. A. County, theyve reopened restaurants today with a lot of very strict guidelines. One of the reasons for this is 1. 8 Million People in california with Jobs Associated with food and service you can see the tables, pam. Theyre eight feet apart. They want the servers wearing their masks and their shields. They have said in the future and right now there are going to be no tvs allowed. That has the owner of this restaurant furious because the super bowl is next weekend. If you put people out of safe spaces for super bowl, you are putting them literally in danger and putting them into homes and house parties, which will take place. So, please have some common sense. Let us use the tvs. Give us the chance to keep people safe and give them a little bit of community because thats what people need right now. And i dont know what else to do other than get on my knees and just pray or beg, you know, lets use some common sense here. Reporter something were hearing again and again and an angela morrisons customers saying this isnt just about a plate of food. For them it is sentimental value coming out to see other people. This place is pretty historic in the neighborhood of los angeles. We got engaged here. So, it was pretty important to me to see that this personal landmark of mine survives. I think a lot of people have similar experiences in that way and many other places in this Historic Town also. And one more rule. They say no tables will have more than six people, and they do not want those people coming from the same households, pam. I should say different households. Different households. So, you obviously talked to an owner or manager of a restaurant thats open. You also talked to people who are deciding not to reopen this weekend. What are they telling you . Well, a number of these restaurants i talked to dustin lancaster. He owns ten restaurants. They were just not ready. They were frankly surprised by l. A. Countys new rules. They came out just yesterday. They said they did not have enough preparation time to rehire employees, to prepare and get the tables that are eight feet apart, et cetera, et cetera. Theres a lot of regulations here. Theyre quite stiff. They say they will open eventually, but they just werent ready to do so this weekend. Paul vercammen, thanks for bringing the latest from los angeles. A new study says that rates of Coronavirus Infections are lower for kids who are in school rather than out of school. The former Education Secretary under president obama, arne duncan, joins me live to discuss. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy.

Bottom line is, moms love that land o Frost Premium sliced meats have no byproducts. his voice baloney automated voice has joined the call. voice from phone hey, baloney here. I thought this was a no byproducts call . Land o Frost Premium. Fresh look. Same great taste. A capsule a day i visibly fades thea nodark spots away. L . New neutrogena® rapid tone repair 20 percent pure vitamin c. A serum so powerful dark spots dont stand a chance. See what i mean . Neutrogena® its safe to go Back To School when you do these things is what i say. And even in our schools we did identify outbreaks. One traced to an offcampus party. But when youre testing and doing these things, you can identify where the outbreak is and instead of flying blind you can be very strategic in who youre quarantining and allow the rest of the school to be in place. That was the key point is if we do these things we can keep the majority of children in school safely. That was part of my conversation with dr. Daria long, one of the researchers behind a new study that suggests kids may be at risk of Covid Infection if they attend school in infection. He joins me now to talk more about this. Nice to see you. Mr. Secretary i want to get your reaction to this. You have President Biden pledging to reopen most schools been 100 days. Now this new study that says rates of Coronavirus Infections are lower for kids who are in school rather than out of them. What do you think about that . First of all, congratulations on the new show. Really happy for you. Thank you. This is a super complicated issue. So, the news coming out of the cdc in week was very, very encouraging. But we have to be clear its safe for kids to go Back To School when those schools are safe, when the precautions are taken, when theres enough ppe, when the Ventilation Systems work. Those are all the i dont want to say caveats. Those are all the very important things that have to be in place. Its more complicated than that. The goal is not just to get kids back in school safely, which is important. Its to take care of their social and emotional needs. So many kids have been struggling with real trauma the past year. We have kids six months to a year behind academically. So, thinking of a National Tuning program to help them catch up, basically have a sevenmonth sprint from february to september so they can go Back To School in the fall, ready to go. And we have finally two to Three Million children who have not been to school in a year. People arent talking about that enough. For me thats just devastating. We have to go find those lost children and bring them back into the system. For parents watching this, what are they supposed to think . You have the study. Weve also seen these outbreaks across the country. What are parents supposed to think right now . Its almost like if youre a parent, you have to be your own detective on whether its safe to send your child Back To School if the school opens. Partly we have to be our own detective. Partly we have to listen to people who really care about our children and listen to the science and Pay Attention to that. Theres so much missed information there. Figuring out what to do here is the same thing. I think asking those hard questions of your school and school district, is it safe for them to go back and what does that look like . We should start with the youngest children first. We should open gradually, slowly. We should start with the most Vulnerable Children first. While ideally covid would never enter one of our school buildings, we know that it will. The key thing is what do we do when covid does enter our school building. And the interview you were playing talking about the steps that need to be taken. Those are the kinds of things that have to be happening. Do you think teachers should be vaccinated before kids return . I think everybody should be vaccinated. Thats coming very, very quickly. I dont know if thats absolutely critical that every teacher gets vaccinated before any kids return to school. Schools have been open for a while now without teachers being vaccinated. Teachers are Essential Workers. We should get them vaccinated as fast as we can, not just teachers. No ones more important to our country than those taking care of our children every single district attorney. Why arent they considered e seine initial more states . I think i read last night its only 18 states have them as Essential Workers who can get vaccinated. Do you know why they wouldnt be considered essential more broadly . Theres no plausible explanation for why theyre kept off that list. It doesnt make any sense whatsoever. Let me ask you. This i know this is a complicated issue. There are all these moving parts and variables here. I want to talk about the cdc report that concluded schools are safe if there is ppe and testing. But we dont have a one size fits all system in this country, particularly when you look at the disparity between Public Schools and private schools and the funding gaps. How do you really go about tackling this . Well, first of all, what weve lacked up until a couple weeks ago was a national strategy, a national plan. And the fact that you had 15,000 districts and 100,000 schools trying to figure this out for themselves is crazy. Its heartbreaking. It didnt make any sense whatsoever. With the new Biden Administration coming into place, you can start to think this thing through collectively, learn from each other, share best practices, be transparent and vulnerable about that. Learn quickly and dont replicate those mistakes. So, i think we have a chance to rapidly accelerate the pace of change, get more schools open safely and do this together. Were all in the same boat. We all have the same fears and concerns. Everybody wants to go Back To School. Teachers, parents, principals, Everyone Wants it. We have to do it absolutely as safely as possible. In states without mask orders, how would that work with bidens school plan requiring masks . Well, i dont see how you do this safely without masks. That seems absolutely impossible to me. And again, makes no sense. So, that is talked about the precautions, the steps that have to be taken to be open safely. Nowhere will you see open schools without masks. Thats ludicrous. I want to ask you about this horrific story, this unfathom able Rep Recushion in las vegas, a spike in Student Suicides that has Clarke County there scrambling to reopen as quickly as possible. Mental and emotional struggles among students is increasing. You get four or five a day. How should educators and local officials balance protecting Childrens Mental Health with perfect arotecting community from the virus . Im sorry. Can you repeat that question . How do you balance the health of a community and the Mental Health of these children. Theres many things the districts have done throughout the pandemic. Telehealth, you know, calling kids, texting them, making sure theyre okay. We can do this physically. We can also do it virtually. Thats been happening. Counselor, teachers taking care of kids throughout this pandemic. But this has taken a real toll on kids social and emotional health. I do not want to blow through that. Thats where you have to start. When theyre deal being tremendous trauma, we canterbury that. We have to take care of kids and families who are struggling. Arne duncan, thanks for coming on the show.

In one town outside of seattle washington, the major supports these baseless fringe theories. Cnn keone la spoke with residents about it. I want to welcome the mayor to the program. Thank you, good morning. Reporter the Small Community in washington. And the next question is for the mayor. Reporter has a big question for the mayor. Why do you publicly support qanon. Reporter question after question, qanon and the mayor are the talk of the town. Mr. Mayor, excuse me, we you owe it to the citizens. Residents fear that ksqm may be the first to have a Qanon Conspiracy theorist in power. It does not influence me. But you still believe it . I am not saying that i believe that. Reporter that is qanon, the ludicrous conspiracy that a cabal of Satan Worshiping pedophiles are part of a deep state plotting against donald trump and operating a child sex trafficking ring. Qanon burst on to the main stream during the capitol attack. Insurrectionists were seen wearing q symbols and in the crowd outside. Most people think of qanon as something so far off the spectrum it will never come to their town. Do you think . Thats what we thought. I dont know, yeah. I mean, this has this has been shocking. Yeah. Reporter it began last august. Few in this Quiet Community expected the mayors monthly Radio Broadcast to include a message like this. Qanon encourages you to think for yourself. I want to encourage you to search for joe m. On youtube and watch his video starts with q, the plan to save the world. Reporter that ominous video every president after reagan was full of deep state. The mayor has also spread disinformation online. He shared this Qanon Rallying Cry on his personal facebook page, short for where we go one, we go all. Posting that nearly 20 times in one month. We have these theories. It doesnt matter. Dont let unsearcsomeone Who Ha Theories get put in position of power. I never said i believe that. You called it a truth movement. What i call is the opportunity as a patriot and as an american citizen to seek truth. Reporter as far as that video he encouraged residents to watch. Do you believe what the video suggests . Im not committing to that. I think there are many different resources that could influence our thought pattern. I encourage people to seek truth. He returned again and again to his idea of truth. Youre not going to categorize what qanon is. Im in no position to do that. Reporter despite what we saw at the u. S. Capitol . Despite ive watched a lot of different videos that showed many different what appeared to be scenarios versus what has continued to run. I have no way of confirming that that was one group versus another. There is a difference between fact and fiction. Again, back to the authenticity of the information that were seeing. Just because one angle of the camera showed this view, they may not have seen the other angle that shows a totally different scenario. Reporter what im confused about is you dont think q was involved . I have no way of allocating that. Reporter but some say his words arent enough. Theyre petitioning to replace him. This isnt just a Conspiracy Theory. This is serious. Reporter as far as whether its having any direct impact on this town, there have been some sudden vacancys in city leadership. The city manager has left. There have been vacancies on the city council. Critics of the mayor fear this is somehow all connected to the mayor and qanon. K coming up in the next hour the fbis former Counterintelligence Chief will join me live. Ill ask him about the fastgrowing qanon threat and how to combat it. And tonight join Anderson Cooper for a closer look at the origins of the Qanon Conspiracy. How did this Fringe Theory become a movement that includes members of congress . What role did it play in the capitol insurrection . The cnn Special Report inside the Qanon Conspiracy airs tonight at 9 00 eastern. A new variant of the coronavirus is overwhelming hospitals across brazil, and now the Health Care System is in freefall. And authorities are digging vertical graves to bury the dead. Matt rivers is live for us in brazil. Next. Ah, a package you know what this human ordered . A backache. Consider pain, delivered. Pain says you cant. Advil says you can. We made usaa insurance for veterans like martin. When a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. Usaa. What youre made of, were made for. Usaa encouraging news just coming in to us tonight, the number of people hospitalized in the u. S. With coronavirus has now fallen below 100,000. Its the first time weve seen hospitalizations that low since december 1st. But theres also concern growing about the spread of Covid Variants which are proving to be much more contagious than the original strain. So far the centers for Disease Control report that three of these variants have shown up in the u. S. , one from the uk, one from south africa, and a third from brazil. And they are highly contagious. Right now in brazil that third variant is overwhelming hospitals. There just isnt enough critical equipment like ventilators or even oxygen to go around. Matt rivers joins us now live from brazil. Matt, does it seem like things are going to get worse there before they getbetter . Reporter no question, pamela. Spent several days in this city, if you dont know that city it might sound familiar. Last year experienced one of the worst singular outbreaks of all the cities. It might be worse than last year. One man said to me earlier this week to them seems like its not as you might no someone who lost someone. Seems everybody in the city has lost someone themselves. The tents quiet outside the small hospital in brazil. This can change so fast. An ambulance suddenly pulls up in front of the hospital as a woman inside is given cpr. Medics desperately trying to save her. A Hospital Source told us she died soon after this video was shot. The woman was the third covid patient to die here this morning alone. The overwhelmed hospital is a small example of a massive outbreak here in brazils northwest. Its epicenter known as the gateway to the amazon. The city of about 2 million is replete with scenes like this. Patients packed into unsanitary hospitals with a startling lack of ventilators or even just oxygen. Recovery is a mirage and whats been the citys deadliest month of pandemic by far, many here are simply waiting to die. This doctor says weve got 15 patients and theres 2 beds. Difficult to say we choose who lives and who dies but we do choose to save the ones who may live. Doctors and nurses are clearly doing their best with what little they have, but this city has been here before in april and may last year. The Health Care System collapsed first time during the first covid19 wave. Some suggested up to 75 got the virus. The Cemetery Pocked and now even those are not enough. Why the government is quickly building veticcal graves. Coffinsize sections to stack on top of one another and doing it this convey because theyre running out of space. By the time the project is done they have have built 32,000 vertical graves to meet expected demands. So many people got sick the first time many believed Herd Immunity would prevent another round. Despite many warnings from experts that that might not be true, brazils covidskeptic president said there wouldnt be a second wave. Things opened up, life brack to normal and then a new covid variant, p. 1 originating right here in brazil a kinds of perfect storm. Im not usually an alarmist and concerned what were seeing in brazil right now. Reporter a recenty study found variant, this one, spreads faster. Back outside the small hospital here we meet this woman whose brother has been inside with covid for weeks in desperate need of better care that just doesnt exist now. Next to the hospital a refrigerated container brought in to store bodies. Take our cry for help to the world, she tells us. Tell them this system is killing brazilians. People who cant get into hospitals are dieing. Halfway through our interview, though, we had to pause. There was a new suspected covid patient arriving. Crying as hes admitted. Because everybody leer know her what can happen once you go inside. And pamela in the first three weeks of january, more people were buried in this city than any other full month throughout this entire pandemic and it wasnt even close. Yet despite that the president of brazil says he thinks the federal government actually did more than they were obligated to do. A stunning lack of empathy from a leader who purports to represent the citizens of manous going through incredibly dark days. Incredibly dark and heard by the cries.
