are entirely unavailing. cnn's jessica dean is live on capitol hill for us. jessica, another little nugget we've learned i know is that, you know, they will have to obviously because of covid, there will be covid precautions in place for the trial starting tomorrow that senators may not be at their desks during the entire time but look ahead to these next few days, what do you know about how this second impeachment trial will go? >> well, brooke, we're getting more details as today goes on and just, for example, we know that the house impeachment managers were just over on the senate side kind of looking around, during around the area where they are going to make their case later this week so developments keep coming out. as you mentioned we do know according to sources that senate majority leader chuck schumer and senator minority leader mitch mcconnell are finalizing their deal which will lay out how this trial is going to go forward, and we're going to get more details on that likely later today, but here's what we know as of right now. the very latest on this is that that deal is expected to read out that tuesday, tomorrow, they will argue the constitutionality of him people trial yet again. remember, they did that not too long ago, but this will be up to four hours of debate on that and then wednesday they will have up to 16 hours per side for those arguments, and one more thing to note. we're still waiting to see if witnesses will be called. we're being told that mcconnell and schumer will put in there that if impeachment managers want to call witnesses, they will allow for debate and a vote on that. now you mentioned, too, this is all happening as we're continuing to deal with the covid pandemic, and that's a very real thing here at the u.s. capitol, social distancing in place and masks in place, and that is going to affect just physically how they go through this trial. remember, the senate floor is just not a giant place so we know that they won't be at their desks for entire time. remember for the first impeachment trial about a year ago, that was the thing. they all had to be at their desks for that required amount of time. no looking at their phones, that sort of thing. this time they will be allowed to go off to different areas close to the senate floor so they won't all be jammed in there together, that they will be able to watch on a television monitor or go out to another area as well, and we're also learning more about these pre-trial briefings, brooke, that came in just this afternoon. we had one from trump's defense. they are going to argue that he -- that this is unconstitutional and that he was using metaphors when he said things like fight like hell and then the house impeachment managers hague out their case saying there's simply no defense for his actions and he's responsible for what happened heroic the deadly insurrection on january 6th and that they will lay that all out using things like video to piece it all together. >> the fight like hell point, that's what i want to get to with my next guest. thanks so much for giving us the late land for the next two days. with me now cnn presidential historian doug brinkley and legal analyst elliott williams, a former federal prosecutor and let me read this, elliott. trump's lawyers wright this. despite the house managers' charges against mr. trump, his statements cannot and could not reasonably be interpreted as a call to immediate violence or a call for a violent overthrowing of the united states government, but let's just remind everyone this is what the former president said. >> we fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country any more. to that end trump's lawyers you heard are arguing that that was not meant to be taken literally, elliott. how? >> look, sure, brooke. they have an entire section in their brief which they released today about the word fight, and they are fixating on just that speech as if the totality of president trump's conduct was limited to the 11 or 12 or however many minutes he was speaking that day. look, going back to december 19th the president was tweeting about be there, be wild while his vice president's life was in danger in the united states house -- on the floor of the senate, the president was tweeting at mike perns calling him a coward or talking about how he needed to show courage, so this is a parent of conduct frankly stretching back to july when the president. united states first said on "fox news sunday" on july 19th he wasn't going to accept the results of the election so, yes, we can quibble about what the dictionary definition of the word fight means or the fact that the president of the united states engaged in a sustained effort to put people at risk. it's almost like saying, look, i spoke for a whole half hour but you're just fixating on that one little insurrectionist sentence in the middle of it and it's far bigger than that and you can construe the word fight in the context of the bigger body of the president's context of inciting that conduct that we saw that day. >> got another legal question and, doug, i'll come to you and then elliott. trump's lawyers and some republicans are arguing that it's unconstitutional to try a former president, but then you have, you know, one of washington's leading constitutional arguments claiming that argument is illogical. he's close tom, many prominent republicans including the likes of ted cruz. do you think his opinion could provide cover for some republican senators to convict? >> i don't think so because -- because of that vote where 45 of them have already said they would likely not -- >> the rand paul vote. >> look, judges in normal cases and senators here like to not be able to reach the facts of a case, and this prevents them from having to reach the facts of the case. they can sort of wash their hands and say this is unconstitutional. we don't need to address the president's cop duct. the president's cop duct on its face was unlawful. >> doug brinkley, do you think this trial is just as much about making the case to the american public as it is to senators, you know, like really make americans question trump's influence not just on the republican party but on american politics in general? >> i do, brooke, and i think the democratic party had no choice but to go forward with this impeachment trial. the i mean, the great poet robert frost used to say the only way out is through. the idea that we just say bye to donald trump and let him get away with this ill thinking that he did from the election onward are it -- it just doesn't fly, so i think the democrats are going to have to go after trump, put the evidence out there. the world is going to be watching on television, and at the very least it reminds me, brooke, of when dwight eisenhower went after the in 1945 to the holocaust sites, the death camps, and when he first saw one he wired george marshall and said document it, document, it document it where people say it wasn't really that bad or it wasn't real. so that's what the democrats are doing. at the very least they are creating an historic record that scholars, journalist, historians will be able to use like a 9/11 commission report type of thing to advance the story forward. >> such an important point you just made. this is also how this impeachment will be different than the last, elliott. you know, we are getting some sense of how the impeachment managers plan to handle this, and when you especially -- when they are looking at the lessons that they learned from trump's last impeachment, the managers are going to be leaning heavily on video to doug's point. you know, this is the first time the video is going to be used sort of more in totality, not bits and pieces what have happened to various members on january 6th but jumps, you know, stringing it together to real form this compelling story of what happened on insurrection day. how effective do you think that will be? >> you know, brooke, it's very rare in any proceed willing in, court, in impeachment, where we haven't had that many of them where all the evidence you need to convict an individual is on report. lord knows if when i was a prosecutor if i had this much evidence when i was a prosecutor, it simply just doesn't happen. yes, witnesses would be wonderful. there are many, many compelling witnesses, including ones inside the white house or the military who could help fill and round out this case, but just look at what we have, again, from the vistd president giving the speech, all of the tweets, the president saying to walk back to the capitol, countless statements of people on -- they are record as scene of the crime saying, you know, our president sent us here and -- and there's even some folks in "the washington post" having said today that we went home when the president told us to go home, so, yes, witnesses would be great. witnesses are very compelling. they are human and also there's something incredibly human about watching the seat of democracy being put under siege on video and we've all seen it and lived it and reliving it will be an incredible way to make this case. >> doug, big picture, last question. here we have this impeachment trial of a former president happening at the crime scene with jurors who were victims themselves. how unprecedented is this? >> unbelievably unprecedented. we're living in strange and weird times right now, but that started when donald trump started the birther conspiracy. he began using twitter which he's not allowed to use and started creating hoaxes. trump will be known in history for two things, maybe three. the lack of proper leadership through covid-19, the big lie that the election was rigged when it actually was an incredible free and fair election in 2020 and thirdly for causing the insurrection of january 6th. the evidence is already there, but this is not a court of law. this is politics playing out in washington and as an american you have to be proud that we're at least at this stage now where we can put the evidence together at the scene of the crime. it's a big epic moment in u.s. history and i think everybody is going to be watching. >> it all begins tomorrow. doug and elliott, thank you both so much. >> thanks, brooke. as far as covid is concerned, as vaccination rates rise, new concerns today about the spread of covid variants and the strength of vaccines to fight them. plus, president president biden targeting child poverty. will it have republican support?

>> we need more than believing. nick watt, thank you. dr. rod davidson is an emergency room physician and is the executive director of the committee to protect medicare. he's fresh off his eight-hour shift there in the car parked for everyone watching and wondering and we'll have are a chat and then you can be on your way home. dr. davidson, as you heard from nick there, there is some real hope here. let's start with the positive. vaccine administration does seem to be hitting a stride now. hospitalizations and deaths are down. are we officially turning a corner? >> well, we certainly are going in the direction now that as he said the numbers right now compared to the december surge are significantly higher. we're going the right direction. we have to continue it. the presence of the variants popping up in many places is definitely concerning. i think not to beat the drum even more but very to keep doing the simple things like wearing masks and socially distancing. super bowl parties are concerning, the celebration from the streets in tampa are concerning. so we really have to be diligent as we're ramping up the vaccines, 2 million a day. these are critical numbers. these are bench marked we had hoped for and we're getting to, but there's a long way to go yet. >> but to your point on the vinl lance because, yes, we've been reporting on various variants but a we're hearing now there's a more contagious variant, the one identified here in the uk here in the u.s. and rapidly spreading and all of us wondering, all right, we're trying to stay away from covid getting us and now you have a really contagious variant of covid, what doey we do? do we need to double snatching what do you suggest? >> yeah. i would double mask. i think to still be diligent about only going out when you have, to avoiding large groups, avoiding groups of people that are not in your direct home and really the honest answer is we haven't been sequencing these viruses to know where thee variants have been all along. we started doing that more and more over the last few week and we're now finding that the variants are here. they very well have been here all along or at least for longer than we know so some of the vaccine studies happened in the setting of having the variants around so i think there's h.o.p.e. hope. i don't think the variants have just emerged and there are likely other variants in the u.s. that are more contagious that are a part of the mix of what we call covid here in the u.s. that we'll continue to find but be hopeful. those vaccines work and we just need to keep getting those in people's arms. i am feeling good on that. the but today is that south africa has paused its astrazeneca rollout because they found it offers minimal protection against the variant there in south africa. how can scientists change that? can they improve the vaccine? >> well, they can, i mean, the beauty of the mrna vaccines is they take a sequence of the genetic code of the virus so if they get the sequence of that variant we know back in january they got the sequence. within a few weeks they were already putting it into vaccines that they were starting to test so i think moderna is already working on different vaccines. we do this with influenza. every four different years we have four types of influnza and this may become a reality that we get a booster with different variants protecting us at different times and this is hopeful, part of the new vaccine process that has become so fast and so effective that i think should offer all of us hope. >> dr. davidson, thank you so much. >> thanks, brooke. president biden's $1.9 trillion covid relief plan is facing a critical week here. democrats are debating who should get the stimulus checks and whether to rage the minimum wage to $15 an hour. and this week the cdc is expected to release new guidelines on reopening schools safely but with some teachers understandably still reluctant to go back to the classroom, how will the white house make good on getting on to the promise of having kids back in school. we'll talk about that, too. dad, i'm scared. ♪ it's only human to care for those we love. and also help light their way. ♪ it's why last year chevron invested billions of dollars to bring affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy to america. ♪ jackson hewitt knows your job description may have changed this year. to say... account manager... third grade teacher... and senior vice dog-walker. don't add tax preparer. let jackson hewitt do it for you, so you can be certain your taxes are done right, guaranteed. did you know you can go to libertymutual.com to customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need?

>> reporter: so, this is the hard part and that might come as a surprise given the fact that democrats have been very unified over the course of the last three weeks as they have made the choice to move forward on this package without republican support, really without significant negotiations with republicans, but the reality is now they have to put pen to paper. now they have to make the hard decisions on the actual drafting of the policy and, brooke, senior administration officials tell me they are working hand in glove with the democrats on capitol hill as they draft this legislation, but there are a couple of key priorities that are a matter of dispute inside the democratic caucus. you mentioned the $15 minimum wage. just on friday the president said he didn't believe it would make it through senate rules and that is a distinct possibility, but there's another issue as well. there likely aren't 50 democratic votes in the united states senate for that proposal. joe manchin the west virginia senator saying he's opposed to the $15 minimum wage, wants it to be a little bit lower and the income thresholds in terms of the direct payments, stimulus checks. democrats very divided on that. the president making it clear he's willing to negotiate the targeting and other democrats don't want to negotiate. it's how they thread that needle. given how bare the majorities are in the house and senate that will determine what this $1.9 trillion covid package looks like if and when it gets to the president's desk. >> we'll continue to follow the needle-three-daying and with me now senior editor for tlantik ron brownstein and cnn political analyst and white house reporter for "the wall street journal" sabrina sediqqi. sabrina you heard phil. democrats are back and forth over the key details of the relief bill, minimum wage, income threshold for stimulus payments. how much of a problem is this ultimately for president biden if democrats are not united? >> well, i think it will be very important for democrats to are main unit, especially as the white house moves closer to passing a covid relief package through the reconciliation process, of course, which would allow them to pass a bill with a simple majority vote and given a 50-50 split in the senate and the likelihood that any really significant spending package is going to be opposed by republicans they really don't have a lot of margin for error in terms of losing support among democrats. now the white house has said all along that they are open to more targeted relief and my understanding based on my conversations with officials in the biden administration is that even though they are open to that targeted relief there are core components that simply have to be in this bill, and i think they have placed a lot of emphasis on funding for vaccine distribution, more funding for state and local officials as well as funding to reopen schools and then, of course, stimulus checks even as there is some internal debate within the party over the income threshold and eligibility, so i think those are things that the white house sees as a big component of this bill. the question is what will the final number look like? will it have enough support not just to pass but to pass the muster of doing it through reconciliation? >> janet yellen, ron, tells cnn the bigger risk to the economy is actually not going big enough but at the end of the day americans i think they don't care as much how this thing gets through. they just want it through, right? they are struggling ant wand to know when they will be getting help. when do you think people at home will start to get relief? >> well, i think the time frame that they have been talking about through reconciliation is march, certainly before the unemployment benefits expire in mid-march. phil had it right. the big picture, brooke, is all of the senate democrats have basically signalled their ascent to using this reconciliation process that allows you to pats bill with majority rule, and that is a big change from 2009 when democrats spent weeks and weeks in negotiation with republicans trying to peel off three republican votes to break a filibuster on barack obama's stimulus plan and that of course required them to roll back the size of the package and to this day there are democrats who believe that that contributed to their big losses in 2020 because it wasn't big enough for people to feel immediately, so -- >> and that is very fresh on their minds, right, ron? that's fresh on their minds. >> yeah, with 2022 approaching, and, look, in a 50-50 senate there's an effective veto for every senator and very often that will mean joe manchin and kyrstin sinema. the minimum wage may also be subject to parliamentary restrictions is unclear, but the fact that democrats are willing to do this is both striking and i think also raises the larger question which is if they are willing to go to majority rule for this, their top priority, why are they going to let republican fundamentalist yours continue against other things like immigration reform and that question will get sharper as the congress unfolds. >> to underscore the top of your answer, march, roughly the timeline if you're sitting there at home wondering about how to put more food on the table. march is what they are aiming for. sabrina, on schools, president biden talked about reopening schools, acknowledged that specifically children and women are suffering the longer the schools stay closed but that doesn't change the fact that teachers and unions in some districts are fighting school reopenings. how does president biden get teachers and students back in the classroom? >> well, this is certainly emerging as a challenge across the country because as you point out you have seen an impasse among some local officials and teachers unions about how to get children back in classrooms, teachers and students we should point out. it was interesting that cdc director dr. walenski said based on the data they have and the research, the cdc or imher impression was that -- vaccinating teachers is not a prorequisite to opening schools so that's going to be a key question here. she emphasize there still needs to be other mitigation measures such as masking and distancing, but what is it really going to take for teachers to be comfortable re-entering the classroom and what is going tonight roast white house in, you know, mediating that process? know think that they have so far genre emphasized once again that this is all the more reason why they need to pass this coronavirus relief package which includes funding to help schools reopen and implement all the mitigation measures that the cdc says will be necessary to reopen schools but certainly the clock is ticking and i think's a lot of frustration among a lot of parents across the country that their children are not back in school so it's interesting to see what role the white house plays in trying to resolve that dispute. >> so much of this. the success of the biden administration is really predicated pont success of things going back to normal, going back to school, schools reopening, people feeling safe and having jobs again so this all matters massively for joe biden and this administration. we we are going to leave t.ron and sabrina, thank you so much for that conversation. we'll continue it another day. coming up, some of qanon's conspiracy theories are being heard from members of congress to your neighbors, family, friends. how do you change the mind of someone who believes the lies?

>> i do. i think it's an authoritarian cult indeed. >> tell me how. what are the signs? >> so deceptive recruitment, controlling people's behavior, information, thoughts and emotions to make people dependent and obedient, disconnecting their ability to reality test, installing phobias in their minds that the -- that the -- that the enemy is here and the only hope is to follow the grand leader, and essentially there really is a difference between ethical groups and unethical groups, and the process of helping people to reality test is best done through family members and friends who know the person personally. >> we'll come back to your point on reality in a second but on the one hand some of these qanon believers are becoming disillusioned after they saw biden actually being sworn in, right? but then, on the other hand, you have the marjorie taylor greenes of the world, member of congress, you know, hasn't been denounced very loudly by republicans. under president bush ear she said she backed away from conspiracy theories, but if you are a fervent, you know, qanon believer, what does that tell you? >> it tells me that she is not really out of the qanon orbit and indoctrination. she's doing it for political purposes to back away. i like that that message from her might help some people involved with qanon start questioning, but the bottom line is a real process has to happen of educating people about what is brainwashing and mind control. hem people go back in time to when they first heard of the group and to pick apart what got to them. >> what do you do that, steench? i mean it's quite obvious for some of us who live in reality. the sky is up, the sky is blue period, but for some of these folks, it's easy for people to watching saying these people are crazy, shrug it off, but it's really what they believe but how do you yank them out of it and into reality? >> so, brooke, part of the problem is our devices and if you're in a cult and all you're hearing is cult messaging and you're not hearing other things it's very hard to get someone to take that step back into reality test, so always the formula for me when -- when i'm asked how do you know if you're under mind control, you need to take a total break from whatever group you're involved with, like no contact for several days, a week is even better. walk in the woods, listen to music you used to love to listen to, reconnect with family and friends, and part of the problem is the dynamic that happened when people get into a destructive cult where they try to recruit their families so intensely that they cut off contact or the family tries to arguably talk them out which only propels them in. so the family hand friends need to be educated strategically about how to ask questions from a curious yet concerned posture that's actually going to develop rapport and trust again and empower the person to take a step back, learn about brainwashing and mind control, reconsider how they got into this rabbit hole and realize there's hope. people like mysy. was in the moon cult for two and a half years. i needed help getting out, but i was so glad my family made the effort to help me, brooke. >> and you got out, and you have the hope and now you're helping others. i have so many more questions but i am out of time. we will talk again. thank you so much, sir. i really do appreciate it. >> thank you. >> i just believe that this is something we need to be talking about. how about this, award winning actor stanley tucci now part of the cnn theme, and he's living all of our food and travel dreams. we will show you his tour of italy and more importantly what he's eating next. r. but i've seen centuries of this. with a companion that powers a digital world, traded with a touch. the gold standard, so to speak ;) research shows that people remember commercials with exciting stunts. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's something you shouldn't try at home. insurance is cool. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!
