but how soon until it's in arms? and protestors back on the streets in myanmar, following the deadliest day, yet, of anti-coup demonstrations. we'll have a live report from the region for you . now, donald trump wants you to understand this. there is only one republican party, and he is the kingmaker. his speech at the conservative political action conference, or cpac, was the former-u.s. president's first major appearance since leaving the white house. and it was vintage trump. insisting the party is united and then attacking republican lawmakers, who dared vote for his second impeachment. singling out many of them, by name. a clear sign, that revenge is on his mind. trump repeated his lies about election fraud. he had no apologies for the january-6th insurrection. and vowed to help put republicans back in power, in congress, and the white house. >> together, in the coming years, we will carry forward the torch of american liberty. we will lead the conservative movement and the republican party, back, to a totally conclusive victory and we've had tremendous victories. don't ever forget it. with your help, we will take back the house. we will win the senate. and then, a republican president will make a triumphant return to the white house. and i wonder who that will be. i wonder who that will be. still, it seems, trump's grip on the party might not be ironclad. a poll at the conference found 55% of the attendees would vote for trump for the republican nomination in 2024. that's not that high, given the adoring crowd. cnn's jim acosta with more now on trump's speech at the conference in orlando, florida. >> reporter: president donald trump closed out this year's cpac with a speech that was filled with one lie after another but no falsehood bigger than the big lie he's been telling since november 3rd. insisting he won the election when that is just not the case. scolding the justices for not overturning the election results and he went after those republican lawmakers who voted to impeach him. urging voters to throw them out of office. here's more of what trump had to say. >> we have a very sick and corrupt electoral process that must be fixed immediately. this election was rigged. i stand before you, today, to declare that the incredible journey we've begun together. we went through a journey, like nobody else. there's never been a journey like it. there's never been a journey so successful. we began it together, four years ago. and it is far from being over. [ cheers and applause ] this, alone, should be reason enough for democrats to suffer withering losses in the midterms and to lose the white house, decisively, four years from now. actually, as you know, they just lost the white house. but it's one of those. we're not starting new parties. you know, they kept saying, he's going to start a brand-new party. we have the republican party. it's going to unite and be stronger, than ever before. i am not starting a new party. wouldn't that be brilliant? let's start a new party, and let's divide our vote so that you can never win. no, we're not interested in that. >> trump teased the possibility he may run for president once again in 2024 but said he will not do so with another political party or a party that he may start on his own. telling the crowd at cpac that he remains a republican. jim acosta, cnn, orlando. >> joining me now from allentown, pennsylvania, is former congressman and cnn political skcommentator, charli dent. congressman, a lot to get through. i mean, this is a former president clearly wanting to run the party as his own. but i found it interesting that straw poll of cpac attendees. 55% want him to be the next president. which, correct me if i'm wrong, that's pretty pathetic from a crowd of fervent loyalists and it makes you wonder what the number might be like six or twelve months from now. >> yeah, michael, fish, let me just say something about the cpac polls. they are typically fairly meaningless. for years, ron and rand paul would often do extremely well in those straw polls and of course they never really won the nomination. or even came close. but nevertheless, the straw poll. look. that -- that whole cpac conference or trump fest was really dominated by, you know, the most sycophantic elements of the republican party. in fact, some of the most-fringe elements. so one would have thought donald trump would have done better than 55%. but for the moment, anyway, the party still belongs to trump. for the moment. a long time between now and the next presidential election. >> yeah. and some of those potential contenders might decide to jump ship on trump, at some point. and several of them, speaking. you know, in -- in the bigger picture, i am trying to think of another one-term president of any party who lockest the house senate, the white house, impeached twice, who gets treated with some adulation and this sort of expectation of a return to power. in -- in this setting. why is that? this fealty? >> well, you know, it was so mystifying to me is the fact that so many republican leaders are doubling down on defeat. you just laid it out. i mean, the man's been impeached twice. he lost the popular vote twice. he cost republicans the house and the senate. and -- and -- and so, now, they are saying, hey, let's do this again. i mean, no! i mean, this is -- this is looking backwards. i mean, the party needs to grow, not shrink. and currently, right now, the party is actually shrinking. i believe, since january, we have seen about 120,000 people cross the country leave the republican party. in pennsylvania, i know, it's been about 20,000 people alone since -- since the insurrection. so, i -- i -- it makes no sense to me why anybody thinks that embracing a disgraced, twice-impeached president is the path forward for the party. we still have a suburban problem, here, for republicans. the suburbs are largely gone and big part of that reason was because of donald trump. so i don't see embracing him. >> and -- and -- and to that point. i guess, you know, when you look at not just what happened at cpac but generally speaking with that so-called base. it's clear that, you know, there is a good-sized portion of the -- of the party base that is okay with insurrection and still believes the big lie that the election was stolen. i'm curious, your thought on, you know, whether the extremist wing in the gop has become almost too big to confront. you have jim jordan, you got ted cruz out there singing trump's praises. and by refusing to confront that, are they norm halizing it? and bringing that back into the mainstream of the party? >> yes, there's no question about it. the fringe elements of the party have too large of a voice. look no further than -- than georgia, where marjorie taylor greene, you know, was welcomed into the republican conference. and -- and protected by many of her colleagues. to keep her committee assignments. i always felt, since day one, that she should not have been welcomed into the house republican conference and should not have been seated on any committees. that's how you deal with people who are, you know, peddling, you know, 9/11 truth or conspiracy theories. you know, that -- that qanon espouses. that's what the party needs to do. it needs to crack down on these fringe elements that have -- have an outsized voice. in fact, i often referred to cpac for years, that conference has often drawn too many, what i would call, the -- you know, the tinfoil-hat brigades that would show up. and, you know, the blac black-helicopter crowd. some pretty odd -- pretty odd folks. and -- and i think that's always distorted that event. i just heard former congressman nikki edwards who ran cpac in the early '80s basically denounce what that whole convention or conference has become. he thinks it's just a -- and i have to say, he's probably right. >> good point. charlie dent, thank you so much. appreciate the time. >> you bet. anytime. thanks. myanmar's pro-democracy protestors are marching after the deadliest day of state-led violence since last month's military coup. and we are, already, seeing new crackdowns. security forces firing teargas at this protest. this is just northeast of mandelay. demonstrators are putting up barricades trying to protect themselves. the u.n. human rights office says 18 people were killed and more than 30 tinjured by police and military forces, sunday. meanwhile, aung san suu kyi has appeared in court, according to reuters. the ousted-civilian leader now facing a new, third charge. ivan watson is here to tell us all about it. you know, clearly, willing to kill to stay in power. tell us about how much further that might escalate? and bring us up to date on aung san suu kyi. >> that's right. this is according to reuters that the ousted-de facto, former-prime minister of myanmar, that she appeared via video conferencing. and seemed to be in good health. and has now -- is facing an additional charge. that of publishing information that could cause fear or alarm. now, nobody has really seen or heard from her, since she was detained, as well as the president, and a number of other top-civilian officials in the military coup. that blindsided the civilian government, on february 1st. with the military, then declaring a year of emergency rule. the state of emergency in the country after that. whether or not the military thought through the reaction that we're seeing in the streets and of cities and towns across the country, since then. hard to tell. but this protest movement has gathered steam, as has what is described as the civil-disobedience movement, which has led to widespread strikes throughout the civil services, through the medical sector, the financial sector. and increasingly, now, deadly violence in the streets. sunday, really, a turning point. where the united nations' human rights office says that at least 18 people were killed by the security forces. and we have a map to show you where the u.n. human rights office says this deadly violence took place. it wasn't just in the largest city, yangon, or in the city of mandelay. it's in at least seven different towns and cities, across the country. and that is an escalation of violence, that has been condemned, not only by the united secretary general and by the u.s. also, u.s. secretary of state antony blinken, who published this tweet. quote, we condemn the burmese security forces abhorrent violence against the people of burma and will continue to promote accountability for those responsible. michael, state media in myanmar is publishing a very different account of what's taking place. describing the security forces as cracking down against rioters. michael. >> all right. thanks, very much, ivan watson there, in hong kong. appreciate it. pro-democracy protests in thailand, also, growing more violent. we saw deadly clashes in bangkok, sunday. a local medical center says a police captain was killed. at least 16 people, injured. police using tear gas and water canon on protestors who were marching towards a military base. this is the latest in thailand's growing pro-democracy movement. and the protests around it, for months now. young protestors have been calling for the prime minister's resignation, and reforms for the monarchy. public criticism of the key is illegal in thai law. another pro-democracy movement in asia facing it a tough test as dozens of hong kong activists are charged under a strict, new law. we'll have a live report on what is at stake, coming up. also, americans are beginning a new week with a new, coronavirus vaccine. the cdc just gave johnson & johnson the go ahead. we'll tell you what americans could get starting those shots. we'll be right back. giving nurs faster results than ever. they should expect the same from their education, too. with flexpath from capella university, you can complete your rn-to-bsn program in 9 months and under $10,000. capella university. don't just learn, learn smarter. my audible library is just like scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll, it's a lot. i downloaded audible and really, really enjoyed it. and then it kind of just became a lifestyle after that. audible allows me to find a space for myself. you just get way more than you pay for, one of those rare things in life. oh, the audible plus catalog is awesome. it's like having a streaming service, but just for audio content. there's audible originals... there's podcasts... i've used some of the meditations, it helps me relax. mythology, anthropology, a lot of the -ologies. audible recommended the right audiobooks at the right time. they pretty much have whatever you like. it's really enriched my life in so many ways. i can put on an audiobook, or a podcast, and be transported somewhere that is impossible to go, that is why i love audible. to start your free 30-day trial, just text listen 8 to 500500. hi, i'm a new customer and i want your best new smartphone deal. free 30-day trial, well i'm an existing customer and i'd like your best new smartphone deal. oh do ya?

there are fewer than 50,000 people in the u.s., hospitalized with covid-19, for the first time since early november. that's according to the covid-tracking project. but as different states relax restrictions. >> definitely, don't want that to happen. i would think it is. i think, you know, obviously, each, individual state and city needs to look at the situation in their own -- in their own location, where they are. but in general, to think, just because the -- the cases are coming down on a daily basis. take a look at the pattern. and just watch, over the next several days, to a week. or on friday, north carolina increased mass-gathering limit for indoor gatherings and capacity limits for certain businesses. starting tomorrow, massachusetts will allow indoor dining with fewer restrictions. and next friday, new york movie theaters can reopen at 25% and no more than 50 people per screen. >> it is really risky to say it's over, we're on the way out. let's pull back. because what we can see is that, we turn up. it isn't hypothetical because just look, historically, at the late winter, early spring of 2020, of the summer of 2020. when we started to pull back, prematurely, we saw the rebound. we definitely don't want that to happen. >> reporter: that's a very real possibility with variants floating out there. there are now more than 2,400 cases of variants reported in the u.s. dr. fauci says the vaccines may not produce the best response against the variants. but good vaccines that produce a high level of antibodies will be, what he says, within the cushion of effectiveness. natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. joining me now is dr. kent, the deputy physician and chief for quality and safety at memorial sloan kettering cancer center. good to see you, doctor. so i read your article on cnn.com. you are vaccinated. okay. so, what's it like? do you get to run, free, through your community without a care in the world? or do precautions still exist, as necessary? >> the precautions still exist, entirely. but a little voice in my ear keeps saying, you know, cut this corner. cut that corner. it's tempting. i resist it. but it -- it feels fundamentally very different to know that one's been vaccinated. >> yeah, i imagine, mentally, it's good. but you would -- you would say, you know, post-vaccination, you would tell people to do, what? >> keep doing what you're doing. i think, we have to not start celebrating, too soon. it's like an athlete, who tears their knee up or something and hurries back onto the field. we have a very, very fragile ceasefire or call it what you will, between us and the virus. we made some headway but if we blow it, we're going to go way back, again. as we've done several times with the pandemic. so, we -- i worry that we're celebrating way too soon. >> yeah. good point. at what level of community vaccination, do you think, there will be a return to some normality? >> yeah. i think, we've oversold the notion of monolithic-herd immunity. i think, herd immunity is really composed of a bunch of little communities. each, with its own habits and its own microcosm of -- of people who have not been vaccinated. so, it might be, that my neighborhood is in pretty good shape. but the neighborhood a couple miles away is not. and it's going to be very hard to declare, today is the day that the united states of america, officially, has herd immunity. there will be areas with it, and there will be areas without it. and that's just going to be the truth. >> our thanks, again, there to infectious-disease specialist, dr. kent. now, in new zealand, reporting no new local cases of covid-19. prime minister jacinda ardern speaking at a news conference earlier, she said zero complacency is the key to getting through the lockdown, which was brought on by a single case. >> we make contact with those, who are at risk. we place testing requirements on them. for close contacts, we have symptom-and-isolation checks, including in-person checks. primarily, for welfare needs but, also, to ensure compliance. we, also, use wider restrictions as an extra layer of protection. but we, also, ask people to follow the rules. to play their part. and we have always done that. quite simply, we cannot do this alone. >> under the lockdown, people can only leave their homes for work and essential shopping. some high-profile events have been disrupted. still, some residents say, they are unphfazed by the restrictio. >> disappointed. but, you know, well. >> it's easier and harder, at the same time. >> yeah. pretty bothersome. but i mean, that's just something going to have to deal with. get through it. >> dozens of hong kong activists are charged under a strict national-security law. but supporters of the pro-democracy movement say they won't be deterred. we're going to be live with will ripley in hong kong with the details, after the break. trify . they grow from our imagination, but they can't be held back. they want to be set free. to make the world more responsible, and even more incredible. ideas start the future, just like that. honey honey?

and tell us more about these charges. life in prison. you'd think, it was some massive, heinous crime. >> the crime amounts to this, michael. these are pro-democracy politicians, who wanted to run in last year's now-postponed primary. it was postponed be because of the pandemic. because they were running for the pro-democracy camp, with the goal of getting a controlling majority in hong kong's government. which would, therefore, allow them to veto things like budgets imposed by the pro-beijing government. that to justify these charges, under the national-security law. being a politician, who supports democracy, is now a crime here, in hong kong. and here, at the courthouse, a judge appointed by the chief executive, who, arguably, is in the pocket of beijing because she is appointed by beijing. so far, has denied bail to every single defendant who's been facing charges under this national-security law. so, the system really stacked against people. this is the biggest crowd that i have seen since the imposition of the national security law here in hong kong, last summer. certainly, nothing to rival the summer of 2019 when there were hundreds of thousands of people. but consider, the crowd size limited to just four people during the pandemic, the fact that you have hundreds. peacefully, standing here, cheering, chanting slogans that could get them arrested. it is pretty bold, and perhaps, the most bold is a woman that we have seen in the media quite a lot here in hong kong. alexandra wong, known as grandma wong, who was actually taken into custody in mainland china for over a year. now, she's back. >> every day, i always [ inaudible ] because a lot of people sometime on the street, also somebody scare me. somebody -- somebody say something to scare me. or do some -- some -- some move -- move that scare me. >> joshua wong is one of the most high-profile names. he is facing charges here in the courthouse. there is also another, unrelated case. the apple daily owner and media mogul, jimmy lye, facing charges not tied to the national-security law. those charges will come later, for him. they're all facing years in prison, michael. >> will ripley on the spot in hong kong. worrying times for hong kong. thanks, will. and we're going to take a short break. we'll be right back. enough that you can finish the bachelor's degree in business you've started in 18 months for $18,000. that's smart. capella university. don't just learn. learn smarter. the harry's razor is not the same our razors have 5 german-engineered blades designed to stay sharp so you can enjoy lasting comfort and we never upcharge you for high quality harry's. available in store and at harrys.com my audible library is just like scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll, it's a lot. i downloaded audible and really, really enjoyed it. and then it kind of just became a lifestyle after that. audible allows me to find a space for myself. you just get way more than you pay for, one of those rare things in life. oh, the audible plus catalog is awesome. it's like having a streaming service, but just for audio content. there's audible originals... there's podcasts... i've used some of the meditations, it helps me relax. mythology, anthropology, a lot of the -ologies. audible recommended the right audiobooks at the right time. they pretty much have whatever you like. it's really enriched my life in so many ways. i can put on an audiobook, or a podcast, and be transported somewhere that is impossible to go, that is why i love audible. to start your free 30-day trial, just text listen 8 to 500500. hi sabrina! >>hi jen! so this aveeno® moisturizer goes beyond just soothing sensitive skin?

carlos said it was. that a better life awaited. willfredo, quietly, not so sure. i don't really know, he says. but wherever my brother is, i'll always be there. another half-mile down the tracks, they enter another shelter for the night. but for the weary, there won't be rest. because in the next day or two, it will be more trekking through never-ending forest. their singular group, just one of thousands, doing the same. matt rivers, cnn, near the mexico- mexico-guatemala border. i'm michael holmes. thanks for spending part of your day with me. if you are in our international audience, world sport coming your way next. for the viewers here in the united states, i will have more news for you, after this quick break. hi, i'm a new customer and i want your best new smartphone deal. well i'm an existing customer and i'd like your best new smartphone deal. oh do ya?

>> yes. i would make it very clear. we were not going to, in fact, sell more weapons to them. we were going to, in fact, make them pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are. they have to be held accountable. >> well, on sunday, cnn's dana bash asked the white house press secretary why the u.s. is not holding the saudi-crown prince, personally, responsible for khashoggi's murder. >> we believe there is more effective ways to make sure this doesn't happen, again. and to also be able to leave room to work with the saudis on areas where there is mutual agreement, where there is interest, national interest, for the united states. that is what diplomacy looks like. that is what a complicated-global engagement looks like and we have made no secret and been clear, we are going to hold them accountable on the global stage and with direct actions. >> do you feel like justice has really been done when it comes, specifically, to the crown prince and his role in the brutal murder of a journalist, because the journalist was working on stories that were challenging him? >> well, this is a horrific crime. and the president has said that, himself. at the same time, dana, it needs to be clear that our relationship with saudi arabia is one that is a -- in the interest of the united states to maintain, while still being clear it will be recalibrated. we are going to hold them accountable for human-rights abuses. later, on monday, the u.s. state department is expected to elaborate on the actions the biden administration has already announced it's taking against the saudis. cnn's nic robertson with more, now, on the state of relations between the two countries. >> given the strong pushback we have heard from the saudis about the assessment that crown prince mohammed bin salman issued the order to capture or kill jamal khashoggi and the strength of pushback from the saudis' gulf partners, supporting saudi arabia on this. there will be a degree of concern about what president biden is going to announce on monday. he's talked about how he is going to -- the relationship, generally, going forward with saudi arabia is going to be shaped. he's talked about holding saudi arabia to account on human-rights abuses. how is this going to take shape? it's been an extremely bumpy weekend for the u.s.-saudi relationship. the saudis, also, buffetted over the weekend by attacks from h houthis firing ballistic missiles all the way from yemen to the capital, riyadh. that will cause concern for saudi leader crown prince mohammed bin salman. saudi officials are saying they see this aseescalation of the houthi tactics. so that sense of instability or uncertainty in saudi arabia in the region has really gone up over the weekend. and this announcement by president biden, that there's more to come, monday, is really, only going to fuel that. the saudis were expecting a bumpy time, when president biden came in. but perhaps, not quite like this. nic robertson, cnn, london. cnn's john defterios is in abu dhabi for us, with more on how all of this could impact business in saudi arabia. and i guess, john, you know, as we have been saying. the biden administration. they said -- or joe biden said he would hold the kroup prince to account. but it does seem more bark, and less bite, in the real-politic world. how -- how could it impact saudi arabia's reform plans? >> well, let's look at the two administrations in the united states and the marked difference in tone, at least, michael. donald trump liked the bravado of mbs, mohammed bin salman. the pledge to invest $100 million in military hardware from the united states, as well. joe biden's putting a premium on human rights but trying to counterbalance that with the regional threat and regional interests of the united states. saudi arabia and iran, as he opens the iranian file at the same time. no sanctions on mbs. but you can't be too surprised about that, michael. because of sanctions in other countries like russia and china don't reach the top brass of the country. so that seems to be the norm. and the challenge for kind of the self-inflicted wounds by mbs because of the 2017 moves in the ritz carlton to round up the saudi businessmen in the name of corruption. didn't use the saudi court system. garnered back $100 million. those were partners of international player, including american companies. and then the 2018 murder of jamal khashoggi, the prime minister or the crown prince took responsibility for it, even though he said he wasn't involved, but he was the leader so he had to take the cue from that. but take a look at two of the big harbingers of investment and cash flow into saudi arabia. foreign direct investment a year after he announced the 2030 plan, or the vision 2030 dropped to $1.4 billion. it should go up during reforms. the investment recovered between 4 and $4.5 billion the following two years, but that's half of the normal rate in saudi arabia and well off the peak of $12 billion. then you look at cash flow from foreign exchange reserves, michael. a similar tale here since the crown prince has been in charge of looking after the economy. from better than $730 billion at a peak in 2015 and a staircase lower the next few years, all the way to the end of 2020 where the cash in the reserves is $450 billion. what it means is he has to sell finance as major projects, the riyadh city development to make it a mega city in the world, tourism as well. because the foreign direct investment, although it's up in the first half of 2020, it's not at the pace that they saw in the umrs there. you know, saudi, of course the world's largest exporter and oil prices surging since the end of last year. so how does the kingdom and opec manage this since they've been cutting supplies for a year? how is that going to work? >> well, you know, michael, we talked about it in april of 2020. prices went to zero. actually negative in the united states for 24 hours. saudi arabia and russia came in with this plan to cut ten million barrels a day. to your point, they're still cutting seven, and saudi arabia added another eight to take oil off the market. now we see projections of oil prices going to 75 or 85 in the third quarter. that's very politically sensitive in the united states. so abdul aziz bin salman, the older brother of the crown prince has to move with caution. he is advising players in opec to do the same. do they add back in half a million barrels? 1.5 million barrels? this is a very sensitive point that's going to come up on thursday with the opec plus meeting and the eyes will be on saudi arabia. do they make an adjustment to the united states? because they know higher petrol or gas prices don't play well in america, and those prices are up 70% since joe biden took office. >> always fascinating to talk to john defterios. appreciate it. good to see you my friend. >> thanks. take care. professional golfers showed they had one man on their minds on sunday. that is tiger woods, who of course is recovering from that frightening car crash last week. at the final round of sunday's world golf championship tournament, golfers like jason day, rory mcilroy, and patrick reed sported tiger's famous color, red and flak, which he was known to wear on the final days of tournaments throughout his career. now woods said on twitter he was moved by the gesture, writing, quote, it's hard to explain how touching today was when i turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts. to every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time. cnn's paul vercammen now with more from los angeles. >> michael, with tiger woods recovering from his terrible crash at cedars-sinai hospital in beverly hills, golfers from around the world decided to honor him, and they did so by wearing tiger woods-style red shirts and black pants as he did on sunday when he was on the tour. in puerto rico, you can see that the maintenance staff was all dressed in the red shirts and the black pants. and at the workday tournament in florida, rory mcilroy wore red and black for the first time. the winner, collin morikawa was going wear a red top. it didn't arrive in time, but his agent told him play like tiger woods with the lead, and indeed he did. he won the tournament. tiger is rehabilitating here in southern california. at last report, he is in good spirits, and he had what many expected to be the first of a lot of procedures on his legs. reporting from los angeles, i'm paul vercammen. now back to you. michael? >> all right, paul vercammen, our thanks to you. the golden globes on sunday proved hollywood still trying to sort of find its rhythm in this pandemic you. had tina fey and amy poehler hosting the show. so that was a good start. the show of course put on by the hollywood foreign press association. awards given to nominees video chatting from their homes rather than walking up and accepting on stage. film and television nominees were notably different with streaming media dominating the categories. british royalty drama "the crown" sweeping the television categories, taking home four trophy, including best drama, actor and actress.
