Showing no mercy. Cracking down on protesters demanding the release of Opposition Leader alexei navalny. Im pamela brown in washington. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world. You are live in the cnn newsroom on this sunday evening. And although cases and hospitalizations are trending down, the presence of new Covid V Variants has some medical experts warning the worst is still to come. Natasha chen has more on the race to vaccinate as many people as possible. In some ways, americans may feel the beginning of a light at the end of the tunnel. The number of people hospitalized from covid19 dropped below 100,000 on saturday for the First Time Since december 1st. Only one state right now, louisiana, is seeing an increase in new cases compared to the previous week. And more than 30 million doses of the vaccine have been administered so far. I feel bad that i can go see my grandkids. Getting a second shot, it just has done wonders for me, and it really has boosted my confidence to the point where i feel that i can take on the world. Ron, who is about to turn 89, got both doses of the pfizer vaccine, which shows 95 efficacy during trials. Let me tell you something, theres nothing like having 95 on your side. Modernas trials did similarly well, but these modest signs of progress come amid a troubling development. In the u. S. , there are more than 400 cases of the variant first identified in the uk. The fact is that the surge that is likely to occur with this new variant from england is going to happen in the next six to 14 weeks. And if we see that happen, which my 45 years in the trenches tells us we will, were going to see Something Like we have not seen yet in this country. And variants first identified in south africa and brazil have turned up in a handful of u. S. States this week, cause ing som Health Experts to sound the alarm. My Primary Concern is we ned to do more surveillance in this nation. We trail our peers on this. We need to do more genomic sequencing. There are u. S. Variants. We just dont know because we dont do the work to identify them. While new research is promising, its not yet clear if those vaccinated could still get sick or even die from the variants. A troubling thought, especially as we close the month of january with the most deaths of any month since the first reported case in the u. S. A year ago. Thats been really hard, too, because shes asking every day, wheres my daddy . Some families like hollys have lost more than one relative. In her case, her husband and fatherinlaw died of covid19 within 24 hours of each other. Every day, i wake up and i think that this nightmare is going to be over, and unfortunately, it continues on. Natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. And turning now to Breaking News on covid relief negotiations. Cnn has learned that the white house is potentially open to some republican ideas, including scaling down stimulus checks to households making more than 150,000. Thats according to a Senior Administration official i spoke with today. Arlette saenz is at the white house tonight. So arlette, how else is the white house responding to the letter . Well, pamela, the white house has indicated they are open to negotiating on this letter and this proposal from Senate Republicans, but that proposal from this group of ten republican senators is a much more scaled down version of what the president himself had proposed. This bill, this proposal would be around 600 billion in funding compared to that 1. 9 trillion that the president has been pushing up on capitol hill. Now, the Senate Republicans, i want to run you through a bit of what theyre looking to do. They want to provide more targeted checks to American Families who need it most. One republican senator suggesting that could be about 1,000 versus the 1400 checks that the Biden Administration is looking to push out. They are also calling for 160 billion for vaccines and testing, something that has been a top priority in the discussions between both parties up on capitol hill. They also want to see an extension in enhanced unemployment benefits, and also on top of that, provide 4 billion for Behavioral Health and Substance Abuse issues. One question is how long biden will try to give these republicans time to negotiate it, and one area they are open to negotiations on are those targeted checks going out to americans. And i understand, arlette, you have more Breaking News tonight on the president s schedule being disrupted by the winter storm were experiencing here in washington. Thats right. President biden was expected to go to the State Department tomorrow to meet with the new secretary of state, antony blinken, but a white house official tells me they are rescheduling that visit for later this week due to the inclement weather here in the washington, d. C. Area. They said that the president is looking forward to visiting later in the week when more staff and diplomats can make it to the State Department safely. He was also expected to deliver a Foreign Policy speech tomorrow, which is now also expected to be a bit delayed. And up on capitol hill, the Senate Confirmation vote on bidens pick to run the department of homeland security, that Confirmation Pick is now being postponed from monday to tuesday. Causing another delay. Its been quite snowy here in the washington area, and they are trying to make some ad adjustments to the schedule due to that issue. Arlette, thanks so much for bringing us the latest there. Were also following more Breaking News, with just over a week until Donald Trumps second impeachment trial, the former president has decided to start from scratch and hire a new legal team. A short time ago, trump announced two new lawyers who are heading his defense a day after his parted ways with his initial legal team. Cnn washington correspondent Sunlen Serfaty joins us now with the latest. So, what can you tell us, sunlen, about trumps new hires here . Yeah, pam. The former president really having to rebuild his legal team here, completely, announcing late this evening hes selected two trial attorneys, first david chowan, a former law professor, and bruce l. Castro jr. , a former District Attorney in montgomery county, pennsylvania. This announcement this evening comes notably just one day after all five members of President Trumps legal team walked out, leaving his Legal Defense team over disagreements over the legal path forward. Cnn reporting that former President Trump wanted the Central Point of their defense to really revolve around the argument that hes been making, the wrong argument, that there was mass Election Fraud, and that the election was stolen rather than really focusing their arguments about the legality of convicting a former president after he has left office. So that is certainly significant tonight, and the big question, of course, is what path forward will this new legal team bring to their defense when they argue in front of the Senate Impeachment trial . Will they, of course, go along with what President Trump and what he wanted from his former team . That, of course, a big question. And pam, time certainly is short. The wheels on capitol hill will already start moving this upcoming week. In a few days, their legal briefs are due in front of a senate trial, and then of course, that senate trial will be up and running next tuesday, so of course, a lot of maneuvering from the trump team, putting this new team in place just about over a week before the trial is set to start. Pam. They dont have a lot of time. Sunlen serfaty, thank you so much. This just in to cnn, amid heightened concerns about the safety of members of congress, Republican Campaign committees are asking the federal Election Commission to allow lawmakers to use Campaign Donations for bodyguards to protect themselves and their immediate family members. This request, of course, follows the January 6th Siege On Capitol Hill that left five people dead. Ill ask a democratic congresswoman for her reaction coming up this hour. Stick around for that. And for more on everything we have been discussing today, im joined by cnn political commentator dachigh. Hes a former republican strategist, and olivia nuzzi. Good to see you both. Very busy sunday. Doug, first to you. If former President Trump finds his way and gets lawyers to argue Election Fraud in his impeachment trial, how does that change the approach of Senate Republicans who have seemed certainly to acquit . They would be given another platform for trump to spew the lie that played a role in the riot. Ultimately, we have seen so many times when republican senators or House Members for that time would say about a donald trump tweet, i didnt see the tweet. Theyre not going to be able to hide from the testimony that will happen in the impeachment trial. But theyll sure want to deny ever hearing any of it because this is going to be a disaster for them to have to defend. Its the one thing they dont want to talk about. And i just saw as recently as an hour ago on olivias twitter feed that one of the lawyers previously represented robert stone, which will tell you the direction of where the president wants to go to in this matter. If youre hiring roger stones legal team, its clear that this is not going to be a particularly sane process. Olivias twitter feed is a must. I go to it every day to see what the latest is. So bring me up to date, olivia. I havent been able to check it since i started the show. What are you learning . Well, i was reading a very interesting interview with mr. Schoen in which he talks about the fact he thought jeffrey epstein, who he also represented in addition to roger stone, was murdered. He talked a great deal about that publicly. Obviously, he represented roger stone and Something Else i thought was interesting is he has studied as an actor at the Actors Studio and hp studios, two highly respected Acting Institutions in new york. And i thought that was so interesting because i was speaking to one of the president s former attorneys right when this news broke, and this person told me its going to be a circus. And thats obvious, but when you have someone who is a trained actor, who has represented all of these fringe characters representing you, i think that really seals the deal that it is going to be a bit of a freak show, and it seemed like the president really couldnt find anybody better suited than this. Obviously, had some difficulty finding a legal team. Members of the legal team left this week. So it really doesnt bode well for him going into this, but it seems like the math is clear about how people are going to vote on this. So i mean, yeah. Do we know if theyre going to perpetuate the president s lie about the election or what their strategy is . We think its going to be a show given what you just laid out, but do we know if theyre going to do the president s bidding, the former president. There were disputes between the president s lawyers and the former president about what the defense would be. He wanted to focus on basically the big election lie, and they wanted to focus on different areas that seemed like a better way forward. It seems based on what we know about these lawyers, the new lawyers, that maybe they will be more sympathetic to doing what the former president wants here and focusing on the big election lie. But whether or not any of thats going to help him, it does seem pretty clear how the senate is going to vote, and that the party seems pretty intent on continuing to do his bidding and continuing to be the party of trump. We all saw that photo this week of Kevin Mccarthy. We have seen whats happening with Marjorie Taylor green, these kind of trump republicans who are now in washington, and it seems like the partys still fearful of the former president despite the fact he is not technically in power anymore, and he is off twitter, and his greatest avenues to beat back on people who express dissent have been taken away from him. Right. I mean, to that point, doug, why does trump still have so much sway in the Republican Party given what she just laid out . And we really are seeing this identity crisis. I spoke to congresswomanma nanc mace, a republican, who said there are two factions. You have the Marjorie Taylor green Conspiracy Theorist extremists and then the more mainstream republicans. Whats going on . Its a real Division Within the party, and right now, that trump faction is certainly winning. And thats what ultimately members of congress and senators, thats who theyre hearing from most loudly. If youre a trump supporter, you tend to be loud about things. Theyre not quiet, Silent Majority things. Theyre loud and reach out to their members of congress and let them know what they think. I talk to members of congress all the time who tell me, i had a donor say x to me, i had a donor say y to me, and these arent positive comments. Theyre really nasty quite often. And the other reality is, and this is what republicans need to be mindful of. Look at my home state of North Carolina, a state you know pretty well as well. My alma mater. In the past month, since january 6th, republicans in North Carolina have lost more than 5800 republicans. Meaning 5800 republicans have changed their affiliation from republican to unaffiliated. And if youre motivated to do anything politically in january in an off year, it says youre awfully angry. If the party is going to shrink, it might become more intense for trump, but ultimately long term, thats a recipe for doom. All right. Well be tracking all of this. Olav ol olivia, doug, thank you for coming on. We hope youll come back on soon. Thank you for having me. Much more to come. Supply, supply, supply. Thats the issue kentuckys governor tells me is biggest in the vaccine rollout. Ill speak to dr. Megan ranney about that and the fast spreading variants.

The situation is unfolding there tonight, it will likely become another test of the Biden Administration in the postamerica first isolationist era. Lets get right to will ripley in hong kong. What do we know . Hey, pamela. Details are coming in very slowly because there are reports that the telephone lines, perhaps the internet, and even some Television Channels are being disrupted right now in myanmar. So information coming out at a trickle, but what we have confirmed, according to a spokesperson for the National League of democracy party, the ndl, that is let by aung sawn suu kyi, she and other leaders are been detained and are being held by the military. This is puzzling for a lot of people because even though Aung San Suchi was in and out of house arrest in myanmar for the better part of 20 years, her father was a war hero. She has been the civilian leader of that country, and she was regarded for many years, she won a Nobel Peace Prize for being a beacon of freedom and democracy, but in recent years she has fallen in the eyes of many in the Global Community because she was actually defending the military that imprisoned her or put her under house arrest for so many years when they were accused by the United Nations of genocide against the Rohingya Muslims who were forced out of the border into bangladesh and reported rape and murder at the hands of the military. Those actions were defended in the u. N. By aung son suu kyi, who now may be once again being held by the military, which is contesting the results of their election back in november. Basically, the military lost a lot of seats in parliament. Now theyre saying the election was a fraud. And yes, this is going to be a major test for the Biden Administration. How do they handle this unfolding crisis in a country that is trying to strengthen its democracy, held these general elections in november, and now an apparent Military Coup under way. Will ripley live for us in hong kong, thanks for bringing us the latest there. Well, as the u. S. Sees cases and hospitalizations start to decline, the coronavirus opens a new front in its attack on humanity. Highly contagious variants that are making the race to get a vaccine even more urgent. Joining me now is dr. Megan ranney, Emergency Physician at brown university. Epidemiologists are saying these variants could make the fight against covid much harder by causing more severe disease or lessening the effectiveness of the vaccines. What concerns you most . So right now, what concerns me most is simply that we already know that theyre more tran transmissible, which means its easier to infect people. Were in a race against time against these varyniants with trying to get people vaccinated before they spread across the country. It means going to the Grocery Store or school or work could become more dangerous. We have an overtaxed and exhausted health care system. We have a little Breathing Room right now, but if these new variants become dominant in our country, were going to be right back where we were in november and december, and perhaps even worse. Do you see another surge happening . You know, i dont know. Were watching the Falling Numbers across the country with a sense of relief. But we have seen this happen before. And as we see the numbers fall, we also see states reopening, perhaps prematurely, especially with these new varynlts out there. I very much worry that were going to see numbers start to rise again over the next few weeks. But right now, its just speculation and hypothesis. What im telling every right now is despite the Falling Numbers, now is not the time to let up on the basic precautions. Wear a mask, avoid indoor unmasked gatherings, and of course, wash your hands and try to maintain distance from others when possible. Yeah, i had two Close Friends who just got covid. Their families did. Its a reminder this is still very much an issue even if numbers are going down, the variants are still very much spreading as were seeing across the country. Earlier, i spoke with Kentucky Governor andy beshear about his states vaccine program. Heres what he said. We have three problems. Its supply, supply, supply. Our people are desperate. Everybody wants to be vaccinated. We have gone from Vaccine Hesitancy to not being able to have enough vaccine. Biden administration in its first six days increased our supply 16 . And ill take that every six days. That was a good development. But its not enough. And its not necessarily their fault, but we just need significantly more doses. Do you think it makes sense to stop focusing on second doses and give as many people as possible a first dose to try to get ahead of these variants . So i think its a combination of the two. Yes, we need to give everyone we can a first dose now. That doesnt mean we should give up on the second dose, but rather we should count onifieser and moderna and seen hopefully Johnson Johnson to fill the gap. Pfizer and moderna are saying theyre going to have increased production in the weeks and months to come. That can fill the second dose hole, and then once we get the Johnson Johnson vaccine, thats only a single dose. So give everyone the doses that you can right now, and count on that increased production so that you can get people adequately protected. Megan ranney, thank you for bringing us the latest with covid. We appreciate it. Thank you. Facing calls of censure, embattled congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green is set to meet with Kevin Mccarthy this week.

Nancy pelosi is guilty of tr treason. So called plane that crashed into the pentagon. Theres never any evidence for a plane that crashed into the pentagon. Thats just a sample of republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greens Extremist Rhetoric before taking office. Green has spent the weekend scrubbing her social media accounts after cnn uncovered a spate of old posts supporting Fringe Conspiracies and calling for violence. It comes as two democratic congresswomen prepare to introduce legislation to formally censure greene. One of those women joins me now, Nikema Williams. Thank you for coming on. You and congresswoman sarah jacobs are introducing legislation to censure and call for her resignation. Why are you not calling for her to be expelled . So pamela, thank you for having me this evening. And i would very much like to see Marjorie Taylor greene removed from congress. However, i know that that is a much higher threshold, and we would need much more of our republican colleagues to realize and to be able to stand up to her and call her out for her dangerous rhetoric that she is continuing to espouse, and a censure resolution only requires a simple majority to pass, and so i want to make sure that we are holding her accountable, and this was something within my wheelhouse i could do to move forward so that we can hold people accountable for their actions in this country. When youre in a leadership position, you most definitely need to be held accountable for your actions and your words, and Marjorie Taylor greene needs to be censured in front of the House Of Representatives and she needs to resign. Does it make any difference to you these were comments she made before she was officially in congress . She made the comments before, shes continued to show us this is exactly who she is. Shes not apologized for the comments. Shes actually doubled down, and so i am clear on why she needs to be censured and why she needs to be held accountable, because this is exactly who she is, and we have seen the type of violence that this creates when we have leaders in our country that continue to uplift these words and these actions. We saw what happened with the domestic Terrorist Attack on january 6th. And we shouldnt just stand by and allow this to continue without holding her accountable. Lets listen to what a supporter in greenes district told our martin savidge. She was not a congresswoman at the time. But she is your congresswoman now. And i just ask if that is the right way for a congresswoman to act . Yes. Like you just said, she wasnt a congresswoman right then. And i done a lot of things in my past that i aint proud of now, you know. But im not going to run for congress. You havent changed your mind one bit about her, have you . Not a bit. Is there anything that would change your mind about her . Nope. And other supporters martin talked to, one other one said its almost as though the more shes under fire, the more controversy there is around her, the more he wants to support her. One supporter said, i hate democrats so much, and theyre attacking her, and it makes me want to support her more, something to that effect. That was summarizing what this supporter said. Are you ever worried that what youre doing could feed even more support for her in some ways, as we know shes f fundraised off this . I have no doubt, pamela, she is thriving off this attention, which is why we need to move forward now. We need to move forward swiftly, bring this resolution to a vote that im introducing tomorrow to make sure that we can hold her accountable, and we need to continue the work of the people. People in my district are hurting right now from this pandemic. We have heard about the slow rollout of the vaccine, we have School Districts in georgia that have been punished for giving teachers the vaccine. And i know that there are districts there are counties in her district just like mine who need more vaccines rolled out, who need more support on the ground, and thats what she needs to be focused on. Because her district is hurting just like mine. So i am ready to hold her accountable and get to work on making sure we can address this pandemic for the entire state of georgia. I want to get your reaction to this republican arkansas governor, Asa Hutchinson said he rejects greenes Extremist Rhetoric but stopped short of saying she should be punished for her controversial comments, and in fact, dodged a question about it. Given her history, is she fit to serve . Im not going to answer that question as to whether shes fit to serve because she believes in something that everybody else does not accept. I reject that. But shes going to stand for reelection. I dont think we ought to punish people from a disciplinary standpoint, a party standpoint, because they think something a little bit different. Do you think that some republicans are afraid to condemn her more publicly or speak out more because so many of their supporters align themselves with trump and with her . Pamela, he was afraid to say that she was unfit to serve for office, butjorie Taylor Greene beneath the service of the United States congress and she should not be serving here. Her district did elect her, which is why im calling for a censure because this is in my wheelhouse as a member of congress. Republicans in this party have been taken over by donald trump, and theyre afraid to stand up for what they know is wrong. You hear the outside chatter and the whispers about maybe we should do something, maybe we shouldnt. But theyre afraid. We should not be held hostage by domestic terrorists and not moving forward with doing what we know is right. Its never the wrong time to do the right thing. And thats what were doing when we introduce this resolution tomorrow. Not only are you not seeing many republicans openly condemning the comments, but greene was apparently rewarded with the revelations about her extremist views with a, quote, great call from former President Trump. He remains a force in the party. Is that hurting or helping democrats as you look ahead to the midterms . So i dont know what theyre doing on their side, pamela, but i know that we are were doing the work of the people. Americans expect us to get to work in congress. They expect us to have a response to this pandemic and get them help on the ground, and thats what were doing as democrats. Were working for the people and the Republican Party is still kowtowing to donald trump and trying to figure out how theyre going to move forward as a party. And i know were moving forward as the Democratic Party working on behalf of the people. Really quick, before we let you go, we learned this hour Republican Campaign committees are asking the Election Commission to allow lawmakers to use Campaign Donations for bodyguards. You told our Fredricka Whitfield you do not feel safe as a member of congress. Do you think going that route is a good idea . I do. I feel like this should be something that is included in the money we get to run our congressional office. I have 24hour security right now. I just ran to target to pick up something, and i thought i could go by myself, and theyre like, well, no, because the rhetoric has been turned up over the weekend. So im not safe here at my home. Im not safe out in the district. And im not safe in washington, d. C. And i have 24hour security, so i absolutely think that this is something that should be funded, and we need to keep people safe while were trying to do our jobs, because we still have people on the inside who are direct threats to members of congress. All right. Congresswoman Nikema Williams, thank you so much. Thank you. As a top critic of russian president putin sits in jail, thousands of russians protest in the streets, and cnn is right in the middle of it.

Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be worth waiting for. Ask your doctor about eliquis. naj at Fisher Investments, we do things differently and other Money Managers dont understand why. D the corner could be worth waiting for.

The crowds of people protested all over russia today, furious that a vocal critic of the russian government is still in jail. More than 5,000 people were detained sunday, after clashing with riot police in moscow, st. Petersburg, and dozens of other cities. Theyre supporting alexei navalny, an Opposition Leader and fierce critic of vladimir putin, who survived being poisoned last year. The russian government denies any involvement in that. Navalny returned to russia this month and was immediately arrested. And tonight, at 9 00 p. M. Eastern, just a few minutes from now, Cnns Fareed Zakaria takes an in depth look at american political hatred. How did it get so bad . Heres a preview. In an alternate universe trump people were not scaling the wall. Trump supporters dont do that. Were not from that world. A protrump mob could never have stormed the capitol. A lot of it is the antifa folks. Covid19 is nothing to worry about. Its a virus. Like the flu. If i get it, ill beat it. And donald trump won the election. This is a decisive victory for trump. In a landslide. This election has been stolen from the american people. Millions of americans are being brainwashed. This is a planned on the airwaves and online. They stole it. Theyre thieves. They live in a completely different reality. That is the greatest threat to our democracy. Youre not alone. Youre not crazy. You have every right to be suspicious. Its your right as americans. How did what we read, what we watched, and what we share become a dystopia of disinformation . The experimental fear. Okay, i am hooked. I cannot wait to watch this fareed zakaria, such an important conversation to have. Just given all the hatred right now in this country. You throw out a lot of questions there. And some disturbing scenes from just the past few months. What are the forces that created such political hatred that we see today . Its very complicated, honestly, and it took a lot to boil it down. But it didnt begin with donald trump. It didnt start overnight. I mean, you have had some of these tensions brewing ever since 1964 and 65. The civil rights bill, which splits the Democratic Party, creates the new Republican Party, if you will. And from then, as always in america, race is one of the great polarizing factors. But one of the things we find is that it has now become a cultural divide, not just a political divide. So broadly speaking, if you voted for joe biden, you are likely to be somebody who lives in the city, in or around the city, an urban person. You probably have some kind of diploma or some kind of college degree. If you voted for trump, youre more likely to be rural, less educated. This has become two different worlds, two different cultures, and they dont intermingle. They dont like each other. They dont know each other. And this, of course, breeds more and more not just disagreement over policy, but almost a kind of sense that the other is an enemy to your way of life. And you are defending, you are the last person defending your way of life. And they can stay in that isolated world. They dont have to expose themselves to other views. They can just have their own views reaffirmed depending on what Media Ecosystem they want to be a part of. So with that said, what is the solution . Where do you go from here . Is there anything you can do about this to get rid of this hatred . The point you make is very important. You know, its these Media Ecosystems. Its not just traditional media anymore. Its social media. Because if you cant agree on a set of facts, it becomes impossible to have a discussion or a debate. Youll notice one of the things about donald trump is that his Approval Rating stayed pretty much the same no matter what happened in the outside world. No matter what his performance was, because in his Media Ecosystem, none of the bad stuff actually happened, or it wasnt his fault, and you know, it just wasnt covered. If you can really create a world of alternate facts, where do you go from there . So, you know, i think were going to have to look at the ways to get people more truth and information. And whether that means regulating the social media companies, whether it means finding ways for americans to share in a common narrative, that becomes important. One of the ideas i have at the end of the program is, you know, maybe we need some kind of universal National Service for young people right out of college, spend a year actually spending time with one another. You know, its easy to hate that which you dont know. Its very hard to hate an actual human being who you have spent a year working at a school with or in the army with. Look, were all born into this world. Were all human beings.
