Transcripts For CNN Erin Burnett OutFront

the biden strint. the president looking to get everybody a vaccine by may 1th. now 10% of the population is fully vaccinated. to get to 4herd immunity, we ar nowhere close right now, and one major challenge is people choorsing not to get vaccinated. like everything else in the country, right now, a lot of the choice comes down to politics. just listen to brian temp today. >> we are seeing vaccine he is tansy really as the pharmacists and i were talking about, making south. a lot of that is dealing with white republicans quite honestly. >> macon south, white republicans, quite honestly. the governor of georgia came out and said it. and the poll shows what he said, 36% of respondents, of that group, nearly 60% are republican. so just imagine if trump had made a big public showing of his vaccination, stuck him arm out there, and did it on video just like his pretdecessors have don here. >> we have lost enough people and suffered enough damage. >> it's important for the fellow citizens to get vaccinated. >> i'm getting vaccinated because we want the pandemic to end as soon as possible. >> so we urge you to get vaccinated when it's available to you. >> drump not do that. was no picture of this. he was not the psa because there was no image of him and the first lady gets shots. he was vaccinated while he was president but he never said a word to anyone publicly. because of good reporting. so all americans were kept in the dark on the issue of their president and former president. and even dr. anthony fauci. >> were you aware at the time he got the vaccine, dr. fauci? >> no, erin, i was not. i was not aware he was vaccinated. >> he could have made a difference if he talked about it, couldn't he? >> certainly, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that former president trump is very, very smeach that would have been a 1230e6r78d. >> to get a single to the peer who wleerly could have minied to hge hige him. >> and striss, and it could have been 70 plus million. you get the point. trump telling people to get the vaccine would have saved lives and right now, 1400 people are dying every single day. katelin collins from the white house. they need a message getting the max seen out is crucial. >> yeah, they thauns hard core supporters of the former prt frecht and urging ing people to get vaccinated. we are seeing it nesm and other polls that have republicans are much less lickly to get the vaccine when it comes to democrats. when they talk about whether it's amazible. what is going forward. you saw the briefing earlier, call on the other figures, saying it's important for people who are not just political people to urge people to get the vaccine. other leaders as well 34e67 and masks for example is one big affect of that. so the think i question now is how is it affecting the biden administration? and what are they doing going forward with the rollup? we are going to get to the point where there is enough vaccine supply for everyone. the question is whether or not people will actually get the vaccine. that will be the next challenge facing them. youment. t and they don't know how hesitant people are going to be to get the vaccine and whether it changes. >> thank you very much. i want to go now to gloria borger and dr. griner. it's incredible. brian kemp. he was very clear. i'm talking about macon and south. a lot of that dealing with white republicans quite hon imsly. >> look, he is just stating what the poll numbers have shown us. that about 50% of republican men say they're not going to get the vaccine. a third of republicans say they don't want to get vaccinated. just imagine what a difference, not only trump would make. and a mask is not a culture war. it's not matter of freedom. get your vaccine and save your neighbors and save yourself. but they show no inclination to do that because they could rather have a can and governor kemp has been in the cross hairs for a quhil. hech said it because he wanted people hear it. he wanted people to hear that white republicans are hesitant to get the vaccine in georgia. >> yeah, that can be a dpimpbs and the date that gor ya spoke about. zwresm and 41% of republicans said no 2340e6789 2340u7, the former president of the united states, making a personal appear to those men. it could make a difference. think about last springth. the president begged the country to take hydroxychloroquine. he was silent on the second foor of the white house winning about the election results. if you're listening, mr. former if the -- >> go a4id. >> you know what he has done, which is dig farmd and deck la haitians, saying every wrantds to give joe bind crept did it. but remember me, and in that, he talked about take your vaccine. that's it. it was a throw away line in this pathetic email. the purpose, it wouldn't have happened fmpl but the way he is presenting it would be inrack nempl and get 23r50i69 and when up can get in your 5r78 enter get everybody to do it? you don't doipt flismt fricht and if you look, they were interestinged in taking 123re678d and they outsource the tests to the state because know with implements testing, and a vaccine, they want krepd did it with approving and vaccine, and it became a problem with the states. it happened over and over again. ppe, we will mafrk and so the president was noemplt and let me ask you one sflichbl and putting a stake in the ground to say this is a problem, we have to deal with it, and you see sartson 140i67 and now, specific voed voted for sbrit fwremplt but it seems to be -- to not make anything bipart son. >> you skbrichbt and i think given the fact the nasm and it's in sopization to everything that know bind fwumpbl and the next thing that comings dpoun the road will be infrastructure regarm. they need a lot of new cases and roads in the states and districts. and if sfroecht and to throw it as biden and say, well, he didn't reach out to us, and they gnt hiv half of what he wanted and he dwroesmt. >> i'm not opt noirmts so as usual, you know, i don't know what question do with the inl stra. take a look sfrormg. >> you can tell this is a serious operation. there are dozens of my grants. some above the hills there and it's quickly moving. >> this is stunning. you will see the full report next. and new york's two senators are calling on the governor to resign. have we reached a tipping point. and the new york process kulters running gonzales trump has to make a decision soon. we're carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online. now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the spot and pick up your car, that's it. so ditch the old way of selling your car, and say hello to the new way at carvana. this is wealth. ♪ ♪ this is worth. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - that's actually worth more than you think. don't open that. wealth is important, and we can help you build it. but it's what you do with it, that makes life worth living. principal. for all it's worth. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high you know how i feel ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing] ♪ it's a new dawn, it's a new day... ♪ no matter how you got copd it's time to make a stand. ♪ ...and i'm feelin' good ♪ start a new day with trelegy. no once-daily copd medicine has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy. with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy helps people breathe easier and improves lung function. it also helps prevent future flare-ups. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. it's time to start a new day. ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy. and save at trelegy.com. managing type 2 diabetes?

it's stunning to know you're throughout and it happens. it's incredible. >> yeah, that particular scene is probably less than a mile from where we launched into the river. so it didn't really take that long. i can't member. but we had gone to one side of -- one end of the river, we had come back and after we left that particular scene, we were on the way back. the sun was aabout to set for good, and as we approached, the people all jumped out and started running up the hit. we were not able to get good shots of the moment. but the intensity of the moment there, they are people who have spend seeks and fem literally, 30, 35, 40 year away from the oits of the yaft. and how trouch rouse it is for thousands of people, and how dangerous it is. something so promising to them. >> ed, i want to talk about a question. they are doing months. and how hard it is to get that to point. the people that are operating the rafts. do you have 234i7 the person operating the raft. >> reporter: right, we especially told them we were friendly. you never know the situation you're unfolding. you want to let them know you're there to do your job. by and large, it's fair to say that everybody is a smoke and talking to dozens of migrants, and describe the various ways to get to the board. many through bus and the area we were in is very remote from the closest city. so you have to be taken out to the location on the mexican side to make the raft and walk across the river. all of this, as i mentioned in the piece, highly organized. all of the people you saw moving people across is part of the system that gets people to the u.s. board. >> absolutely incredible to put the images and people to see it. ed lavendera, thank you so much. next, the calls for andrew cuomo resigning. plus, almost a year since a mother of three lost her husband, 42 years old to coronavirus. her story of love and loss touched so many. >> the most amazing husband. >> tonight, she's back with us. germ proof your car with armor all disinfectant. kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. to support local restaurants, we've been to every city. including little rock and even worcester. and tonight... i'll be eating the chicken quesadilla from...tony's tex mex...in... katy.

i'm proud of it. >> reporter: cuomo now facing three separate on going probes. the latest from state lawmakers who launched an impeachment investigation. >> in a time when new york and the state need us the moment, we are unable to focus on the shoves at hand. because of a governor who is lying to the public. >> reporter: the first step to possibly removing the governor from office. lawmakers will be able to subpoena documents, and conduct interviews. the attorney for a former aide who says, bennett would testify. one of several women who publicly made allegations against inappropriate behavior or aharassment against cuomo. the new york attorney general's office is leading the probe, and has set up a website to help. cuomo maintains he didn't do anything wrong and apologized. >> there are often many motivations for making an allegation, and that is why you need to know the facts before you make a decision. there are now two reviews under way. no one wants them to happen for quickly and more thoroughly than i do. let them do it. >> reporter: in a separate probe, cnn reports federal prosecutors brooklyn and the fbi are scrutinizing the covid-19 deaths in nursing homes. the administration has been cooperating with the inquiry. >> we are talking about a public health emergency. >> three investigations, proof of what a dampbs year making. last year, cuomo's star was on the rise in the early days of the pandemic. and erin, tonight another accusation from a former albany reporter who penned an article and she said he sexually harassed her. she said it wasn't about sex. it was about power. it's unclear tonight which accusation, which investigation has all the lawmakers turning the tide. however, earlier today, cuomo said that any politician that does come forward and calls for his resignation is just politics at its worst. erin? >> thank you very much. just thinking about the quote there that brityn, he said, i a not part of the political club. that would be pretty far from the south. manu, the governor of new york is an essential member of the club. and the majority leader schumer in the senate, senator gillibrand, and join 16 or 19 house democrats in new york all calling on cuomo to resign. they had been refusing to do it and now saying he has to go. what are sourcing telling you? >> the pressure was wounding. hoe could not call on cuomo to resign, and one democrat in the house delegation after another started calling on cuomo to resign, and the pressure just began to mount. i had been reaching tout his office all day long, and kristen gillibrand was on the forefront of calling for al franken's oust from the senate. calls for his sexual harassment as well. i said her, what is different about the al franken and an rue cuomo? she could not answer that question. pointed to her statement saying this is an investigation that needs to take place, and coming to the conclusion like the rest -- the 16 members of the delegation that she had step down. one person we have not heard from is the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. she has not called on him to resign. and the three democrats have not gone that far, led some level of nuance, raised concerns and saying he should resideline. if he cannot do his major. but support has collapsed. >> thank you very much. next, the new york prosecutors investigating trump announced he will not seek re-election. this could be crucial for when or if trump is charged. we will tell you exactly what it means. it was one year ago when we met a mother of three who lost her husband to coronavirus. her pain. tonight, she is my guest. >> i played our wedding song for him. and then then that was it. big ink tanks. lots of ink. no more cartridges. incredible amount of ink. the epson ecotank. just fill and chill. tonight, manhattan district attorney cy vance, the prosecutor who is leading one of most significant criminal probes to trump says he is not running for re-election. vance is likely to decide whether to bring charges or whether to close the investigation in trump's finances by the end of the year when his term ends. this is significant. because it could imply he was going to keep it on. he is making it clear, the decisions made this year, the prosecutor who obtained the tax returns, following the supreme court ruling weeks ago out with us, former u.s. attorney from the south district of new york, and a johnson, and trump, his business for more than 30 years. and vance confirmed he is departing in the end of his term, and and the question and the amount of stuff he is looking through, the tens of thousands of tax returns. this is a herculean task. >> no matter what cy vance and the attorney decides to go here, indict or don't indict. now that cy vance is not running for this office or any office, that will be hard to stick. you have a series of people who are running to succeed him. i think they will be well advised to be careful what they say about the case. until they see the files, they will not know the facts. there is a legal defense you can make they was singled out and prosecuted for political reasons. they have not give trump any ammunition to make that defense. >> what do you think it means? >> he is exactly right. it's a good thing to remove the political claim. once donald trump is indicted, and i'm confident he will be indicted, you will see the mother of all pretrial fights to try to prevent it from coming. any argument that he can come up with, he will, a fight that will go on some time about actually bringing it to trial. >> so, you know, we have learned, among the people that cy vance is speaking to michael cohen is on want list, and he spoke with vance's office seven times now, and last month, he told -- you told cnn that cohen could be a star witness in the case, and he tweets back at you. and to speak. what happen does it tell you he has speaken to prosecutors seven times? >> clearly, cohen is interested in being the star witness. and i can tell you, there is no way any prosecutors brings in a witness and interviews them seven times for no reason. i talked to some of my witnesses, and only if i believe them. not because someone like cohen is a pure person but because they are backed up by financeable documents. they have the tax returns now, or other witnesses. it tells me the manhattan d.a. seeing him as a potential witness. >> i want to play something that cohen said about trump and lawsuits. here it is. >> when he's the defendant, he waits hates it. he loses every case he's a defendant in. bus he lays and you can't get him to sit for a deposition because his lawyers won't allow it because you know the deposition is going to be filled with untruths. >> you know, this is snag he can speak to. he knows trump so well. he lied to him to people like me for a long time. until he stopped. how damaging can he be as a witness? >> there are people vastly worst than michael cohen. people who have committed multiple murderers. they have to be participants of this. and mike cold hen has tape recordings, documents and memos and one of the reasons he is interviewed seven times and there will be more i'm sure. there is a lot of nuance and sultty in learning the record, where there is a hole that could turn tout be a problem, the defense could exploit when they get to trial. >> what is at stake for trump? we are a long way away from chur churching decisions. what is at stake? >> for donald? >> yeah, we never had a former president charged. -- >> go ahead, ali, finish. >> this is history. this is everything. we never had a former president charged before, and not only his political future but his own liberty is at stake if he is charged. >> well, i appreciate you both so much. thank you so much. and we just had a bit of a delay there. mother of three. she lost her husband nearly a year ago, and the profound loss she was so generous to share. tonight she is back with all of us . cost, your home can be rebuilt, regardless of your limits.

>> we work with ems. ems we work with. >> reporter: the police? >> the police, they need to work on themselves. there is a distrust. they have not corrected themselves. the way -- the police work for some people and not for others. >> reporter: the police chief who last may prayed at the intersection while the city raged over floyd's death says it's time for the square to open up again. >> if there is anyone who can -- who is over in that space what is saying that is truly about uplifting that intersection in his name, the violence is continuing, the homicides are continuing, i would disagree with that position. >> reporter: that will not happen easily. the community has given the city 24 written demands in exchange for opening up the square. >> if you miss those barriers without first providing restorative justice to the community, people are going to forget about the harm and the trama caused to this community. >> thanks to our sara sidner. it has been almost one year since we told the story of a 42-year-old teacher in questensn new york who passed away last march at the beginning of the pandemic when so little was known and the panic across the country was setting in. we spoke to joe's wife mora who moved so many of us with her husband and describing her unthinkable loss. she told us what happened and what she felt and spoke about what it was like to lose someone to a mystery virus, what it was like to say good-bye to the love of her life through the phone because of the fears he could spread the virus to her. >> i thank him for being the most amazing husband for making me feel cherished and loved every day. every day my husband wrote me beautiful letters in my lunchbox, what i meant to him and i thanked him and then i prayed and then the doctor took the phone and he said i'm sorry, but there is no more pulse. and then i played our wedding song for him. and then -- and then that was it. >> and mora is with me again tonight. mora, your story has stayed with me and so many over the past year around the world. is it even possible for you to believe that a year has passed almost a year has passed since you lost joe? >> hi, erin. it's so unbelievable it been an entire year. today actually marks the day he became symptomatic and this morning, i struggled so much to get ready to get out the door. packing lunches. because i thought about last year being our last normal morning on march 12th. like the typical. and then he came home not feeling well and from there it just snowballed. >> and you talk about packing lunches today. i mean, gosh, when we first spoke, of course, you know, mora, you said it didn't feel real. it would feel like joe is going to walk through the door and maybe working late and it was so raw and yet, a year later, does it still feel that way that he could still come home? >> not that he can come home but the rawness definitely presents itself at times. sometimes i find myself looking at him in a picture and just yelling at him for not being here because he's supposed to be here. when we are planning for events, i mentioned one of the times i was on with you that pretending that he's going to be here from all the events that he's going to miss and now they're all starting to happen and we planned for and that realization is very difficult to deal with. >> you know, we had a picture there of your kids with joe and a birthday cake and, you know, threat kids you have together. your twins are now 15. your daughter is 7. >> yes. >> birthdays have passed without their dad. you know, mora, your kids are incredible and you've told me how strong they've been and it just amazing at different points, how they have got you through this. have they shared -- i guess i'm trying to think of the way to ask this to you. what have they done to help you through this because i know they have in so many ways. >> yeah, their amazing kids. they bring this light to a room, they make me smile, they make everyone smile just like their father always did. jack is always singing and we're always dancing all together and eve is funny and maddy is whitty, so whitty and they just cheer you up. you can't be sad around them. if i am sad, they are so supportive and so good. i can't say enough good things about them. they just -- a lot of us -- a lot of the time we spend being distracted. that gets us through the day. madison with her school work and friends and jack with his friends and school and he's keeping himself very busy making these cardboard creations that are just incredible and eve too is constantly busy. she wants to be outside with her friends and playing roblox and on face time with their cousins. they always want to be doing. they are not looking for pity or people to be sad for them. they love the support that they get and we're so supported by our community and our family. and they just are always these bright lights like i always said. >> you know, you talk about your community and i know joe taught at the mary lewis academy in queens, a girls school where he was so beloved and they started a fund in his name. i know it matters a lot to you so tell me what it means to you? >> just to keep his legacy alive and to know that so many people care and loved him, not only does the mary lewis academy have a student life fund in his name but the college that we both graduated from, st. joseph's college established a sch scholarship in his name for future educator. different awards through the athletic association and other things he's been part of in his memory. even a student reached out is a new york city remembering the covid victims this sunday and his former student reached out and asked if he could be part of that and she filled out the application and put his name and picture in. all these little acts of k kindness and remembrance of him means so much to us because all i want to do is honor my husband. i feel like i can't do enough. his birthday passed february 2nd. and to honor him, i established an email that was dedicated just to stories. >> yeah. >> people could tell, stories and memories people could tell about them and joe and the impact he's had and it
