Theyre actively seeking a viable candidate to challenge cheney in next years republican primary in wyoming. The Trump Loyalist expected to replace cheney is the number three House Republican. Representative elise sstefanik. Kn after more than a year we appear to be turning a corner. Reporter we sure do, wolf. Here in california early january, this were more than 20,000 people in the hospital fighting this virus. Today fewer than 2,000. As the governor just tweeted, turns out the vaccines work. Turns out the science works. Broadway tickets back on the things are only going to get better other summer. I feel extremely optimistic about where were headed. Reporter the covid19 daily Infection Rate across this country, the lowest its been in seven months. The models projected a sharp decline in cases by July 2021 and even faster decline if more people get vaccinated sooner. Reporter vaccinations the only number going the wrong way right now. Average daily doses down 20 in a week. The president s goal, at least one dose in 70 of adults by Fourth Of July. Some states already there, some getting chose. Some have a long way to go. Republicans are most hesitant. The percentage of republicans who say never is falling. Weve encouraged particularly primary care doctors but all physicians in the state to personally reach out to people that they have a relationship with and try to make the case for getting vaccinated. Ken simmons of illinois was hesitant, now fully vaccinated. I dont think it would be good to try to force people to get the vaccine, but i think they should think about their family, their Community And Herd immunity. Immunize at least another 80 Million to 100 Million people and then when next winter comes, it will be a bump instead of a surge. Reporter Fourth Of July we can gather to celebrate independence from the Pesky Brits but not quite independence from this virus. And the new frontier is going to be vaccinated younger teenagers. Today moderna said early results show that their vaccine is 96 effective in teens and no signs of serious Health Safety issues. Of course, were also waiting for the fda to potentially green light the Pfizer Vaccine for use in 12 to 15yearolds. Thats expected very soon. Nick watt in l. A. For us, thanks very much. Lets discuss this with dr. Tom frieden, the former director of the cdc. Thanks for joining us. As you know, Coronavirus Infections in the u. S. Now at a sevenmonth low. But daily vaccinations are also trending down. Will the good news be short lived if the pace of vaccinations continues to slow down . Im optimistic that were going to increasingly reach people who may not have been eager to get vaccinated but are now making up their minds to get vaccinated, what we sometimes call the movable middle. Theyre moving, theyre getting vaccinated. We need to change our approach, make sure we get vaccines into doctors offices, popup locations. Make it easy to get vaccinated, because when there is reluctance, its overcome by convenience. The more we vaccinate, the sooner well get to the nor new normal. As more states announce plans to reduce coronavirus restrictions, some experts say the Cdcs Guidance for fully vaccinated people is still too cautious. How should fully vaccinated people navigate whats seen as this gray area . What activities can they start doing once again at a very low risk . Its important to remember your Vaccination Protection also depends on the people around you getting vaccinated. Your vaccine works better when people around you are vaccinated as well. If youre in a community with a fair amount of covid spreading, then there is some risk and we know that people who are older, people with immune problems may not have full protection from the vaccine. The vaccines are astonishingly effective and very safe, but theyre not perfect. We need to all be in it together to get the Vaccine Numbers up so we will be able to do more things more safely. The more of us vakccinated, the sooner we can get to the new normal. Vaccinated people can do more. Its a question of what your personal risk is if you have underlying Health Conditions or are quite elderly, you may be at risk of vaccine failure. And what your community is doing, if theres a lot of vaccination or a lot of covid, thats going to adjust your level of risk and benefit. The vaccine is the way to get through this pandemic. Its already saving Tens Of Thousands of lives. It will end the pandemic in the u. S. But globally the risk or more dangerous variants emerging and spreading. So get vaccinated. Get your friends and family and neighbors vaccinated, because the more of us who are vaccinated, the more we can all do freely. Very solid advice. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Were also seeing signs the u. S. Economy is now recovering from the pandemic. On Wall Street the Dow Jones Industrial has hit another alltime record high for the second straight day, the index gaining more than 300 points at the closing bell today. Investors are anticipating a very up bbeat jobs report tomorrow. This as President Biden is Back On The Road selling his jobs plan, this time in louisiana. Phil, the president laid down a new marker for possible compromise. He spoke openly about possible compromise with the republicans on several key issues. Reporter thats exactly right. President biden has laid out extensive plans, the scale of more than 4 trillion. He wants republicans at the table. He has seen their initial offer and he wants negotiations to continue in earnest. The president is making clear that the corporate Tax Rate hes planning to use to pay for some of his Infrastructure Proposal at 28 , he is willing to dropping that in his proposal to 25 . That doesnt mean its going to clear any hurdles towards a bipartisan agreement. Republicans have made it clear they dont want changes in their 2017 Tax Law at all. The president had this to say. Im willing to hear ideas from both sides. Im meeting with my republican friends up in the congress to see, number one, how much theyre willing to go for, what they think are the priorities and what compromises. Im ready to compromise. What im not ready to do, im not ready to do nothing. Im not ready to have another period where america has another Infrastructure Month and doesnt change a damn thing. Reporter wolf, that last point is key. To believe White House is looking for bipartisan negotiations, trying to figure out if theres a pathway forward. Im told there are Staff Level discussions between white House Staff and the staff of shelly moore capito. They havent necessarily moved toward any type of possible conclusion, but they are going on in good faith, im told. The president has made clear if he doesnt believe theres a pathway towards a deal with republicans, his one Red Line is inaction. He is willing to move unilaterally with democrats only if thats possible if democrats are willing to stick together in the u. S. Senate and house. First, hes made very clear he is willing to compromise. He wants republicans at the table. That will start next week with the entire congressional leadership, two republicans, two democrats trying to figure out if theres any path forward on at least one piece of his sweeping plans, wolf. Mitch mcconnell, Kevin Mccarthy will be meeting with the president of the United States. That will be significant. Just ahead, Liz Cheneys expected ouster from the House Republican leadership apparently isnt enough for trump allies. Were going to have details on that and her likely replacements newest cozying up to the former president. What happens when we Welcome Change . We can make Emergency Medicine possible at 40,000 feet.

House republicans are now on track for a Partydefining Vote six days from now when theyre expected to boot Trump Critic Liz Cheney from the leadership and replace her with Trump Loyalist Elise Stefanik. Were also told trump allies are working to oust cheney from congress as well. Lets go to ryan nobles. What are you learning . Reporter No Doubt about the trump allies appear to be emboldened by Liz Cheney and the fact she has lost confidence of House Republicans. Its not enough for cheney to be removed from her position in house leadership. There are already a number of candidates eyeing a potential challenge to her in a primary in the 2020 midterms. Tonight, House Republicans making it clear. Yeah, i think that for sure the votes are there and i think it will happen most likely next wednesday. Reporter cheney is out and new York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has the votes to replace her as their conference chair. Stefanik endorsed by trump, Mccarthy And Steve skcascalise. The reason cheneys being forced out . Refusing to stay quiet about trumps Big Lie about the 2020 election results, while stefanik continues to spout trumps falsehoods. When you talk to any voter across this country, they are focused on Election Security and integrity. Reporter on Thursday Stefanik trying to shore up her credentials with wary conservative who s who worry ab her moderate past. I fully support the audit in arizona. We want transparency and answers for the american people. Reporter stefanik saying she supports an ongoing audit of joe bidens 2020 win in arizona, which republican election officials in the state have panned. Stefanik also doubling down on trumps lies he won, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But her ascendency to gop leadership is not without complications. The conservative Advocacy Group Club for growth called her a liberal and warned, quote, House Republicans should find a conservative to lead messaging and win back the house. The House Freedom Caucus held a Conference Call Wednesday Night where many members expressed concern about stefaniks past support for former Speaker Paul Ryan and expressed hope they could meet with her to make sure shes conservative enough. Meanwhile, very few republicans are rushing to support cheney, this after she wrote a scathing oped in the Washington Post Hammering Trump over election lies and insisting this is a fight for the survival of democracy itself. On the ground in her home state, wyoming is gearing up for the election with several candidates eyeing a challenge. Liz cheney is correct. This is terrible for the party in the medium and the Long Run and its terrible for the country in the short run. Reporter while it is inevitable that Elise Stefanik will likely become the next republican house chair, that doesnt mean there isnt a lot of angst in republican circles about her rise. Im told many republican members expressed serious concerns about her lack of a conservative voting record. As much as they are worried about stefanik potentially getting them into another situation where her message doesnt align with those in the party, theyve also resigned themselves to the fact that she has the votes and will likely become the third ranking House Republican in the very near future. Ryan nobody el nobles, thank much. Lets bring in Gloria Borger and Mia Love a former republican member of congress. Jamie, i know youre working your sources. What are you hearing from conservatives about Congresswoman Stefaniks clearly very mixed record over these past few years . Its fascinating, wolf. They dont like her. They say Liz Cheney is a true conservative, but they also say it doesnt matter because she has the unenendorsement that co and that is Donald Trumps. They may not be happy about it, but theyre willing to look beyond it. I spoke to one conservative today who said something i thought was fascinating about where the republican party is now. He said, were not a party anymore, we are a coalition. And as long as elise satisfies the Donald Trump Litmus Test, thats what matters because the party, the coalition is now really made up of a lot of people, a lot of maga people who are, quote, not true republicans, wolf. Its interesting. Do any of those concerns from these conservatives really matter when Congresswoman Stefanik has embraced the lies of former President Trump and has his outright blessing . They dont matter at all. I think they understand that. They can raise all the concerns they want and actually as we all know, its kind of ludicrous because Liz Cheney is so much more conservative than stefanik, but we all know that donald Trump Wasnt really a conservative. So the only thing that really matters is the endorsement of the man who is setting the agenda for House Republicans. Thats Donald Trump. And theyre willing to say, you know what, thats fine with us right now, because in a way the House Republican conference, which is supposed to set the agenda, wont really set the agenda anyway. That will be up to the former president. Mia, the republicans clearly want to remplace Liz Cheney wit another woman. Wouldnt look good to just have a bunch of white guys leading the republican house caucus. Carly fiorina sums up their view. Quote, she says, we want a woman, but we dont want the woman to have an opinion of her own. Do you agree . I think thats actually pretty fair to say. As a matter of fact, ive spoken to a lot of my colleagues in the past couple of hours. They have said this is not just about a protrump versus an antitrump, that theyve lost confidence and that she doesnt create this unified message. However, theyre not disagreeing with Liz Cheney on policy. Republicans are going to have to ask themselves whether the conservative Litmus Test is going to be about whether they support the former President Trump or whether its actually about the Constitution And Preserving The constitution. That is my fear, because this is sending a clear message, i think, to suburban women. Its sending a message to me. Liz cheney allows republicans to say, i may disagree with the president , but i can still be a republican. And theyre losing that battle. Thats really significant. Gloria, the congresswoman Elise Stefanik isnt boosting trumps Big Lie in a vacuum. Republicans are using that lie to make it harder and harder for people to vote across the country. What does this say right now about the gop . Its under the control of Donald Trump. You can draw a direct line between the rigged election narrative, the Big Lie, whatever you want to call it, and the move by republicans in mostly red states to change Election Law because too many people voted. Its not the election officials who are doing it. They are almost all uniformly opposed to lots of these proposals, but it is because Donald Trump has been saying there was major Election Fraud in this country. So far, 60 courts have said, including the supreme court, we dont see it. But as long as Donald Trump says it, theyre going to do it. Jamie, i understand you also spoke to a source who said the republican party is, quote, probably not much interested in democracy any longer. Hard to believe, but thats a quote. Its a frightening prospect, isnt it . This is exactly why Liz Cheney is speaking up. She believes democracy is in danger. Just one point about what mia said about her former republican colleague saying that Liz Cheney doesnt have a unified message, she doesnt have a unified message on one thing, and thats Donald Trump and the Big Lie. On policy, shes the most conservative. Yes. Its amazing. That article she wrote in the Washington Post yesterday was so powerful, raising the prospect that if republicans continue to listen to trump, democracy here in the United States potentially could be in deep, deep trouble. Hard to believe but thats her major point and shes a very conservative republican from wyoming. Coming up, new details emerging of Rudy Giulianis financial woes amid his growing legal problems and the help his allies are now seeking for him and theyre seeking a lot of help for him from former President Trump.

Over the next 10 years, comcast is committing 1 Billion to reach 50 Million lowincome americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. I hope youre ready. cause we are. There are serious questions emerging about Rudy Giulianis financial status as his allies are now calling on former President Trump to help pay giulianis pointing legal bills and Giulianis Son says the former Trump Lawyer has not been paid for legal services he provided to the president in recent years. Our senior legal Affairs Correspondent Paula reed has been doing excellent reporting on this for us. Will giuliani get any of the money he wants from trump . Wolf, it doesnt look good. Giulianis Son Andrew also told cnn he worked in the trump White House. He believes that once the former president is made aware of the situation that he will, quote, indemnify his father. Weve learned former President Trump is aware of the situation. Weve learned that a Giuliani Associate brought this issue of these debts to the former president. We know that giulianis personal Attorney Robert Costello also addressed the issue of giuliani being paid with the trump legal team. I asked costello, were they receptive . He would only say no comment. He also approached the rnc several months ago asking for giuliani to get paid and he still hasnt gotten any money. At this point, it appear to be a guarantee that he is going to get any kind of financial assistance. The bills are piling yoe ie ing. These kind of fights cost a lot of money. What does this tell you, paula, about the financial peril that giuliani may be in right now . I spoke with a close associate of the former mayor. He tells me right now hes doing okay in the wake of these raids but giuliani is frustrated and concerned about his legal bills not just for the ongoing Criminal Investigation in New York, but hes also facing several lawsuits. This associate confirms it will likely cost him several million dollars to defend himself in that Criminal Investigation in New York. At this point, of course, he has not been charged with any crimes, but we know hes under investigation for possible foreign lobbying violations. We know when People Cant defend themselves in a trial, they often have to enter plea deals. His Home And Office were raided by the fbi in recent days as well. Lets discuss this with our senior legal analyst preet bharara. Thanks so much for joining us. If trump does not pay giuliani for legal bills for what he did for trump in recent years, could that potentially increase the likelihood that giuliani, if hes eventually charged with any crime, might flip and cooperate with investigators . Certainly it could. People have flipped over less and some people have not flipped even when there was more reason to flip. A sign of disrespect or financial distress that Rudy Giuliani is in, ill say its kind of perplexing to hear that Rudy Giuliani is in such financial trouble. The legal bills will be substantial, but just as a reminder to folks, hes been in the private sector i believe since 2001 and someone who is a former mayor, former united States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and has private Practice Consulting and legal work, so people understand the market is such that thats millions of dollars a year would be the typical remuneration for someone like that over 20 years. So there are other interesting questions if im an investigator as to why it is the case that after 20 years in private practice, theres a problem with money ot in the bank account. As to whether or not Donald Trump will suddenly after decades and decades of having a reputation for being stingy and not paying bills hes obligated to pay, i dont know why theres any Expectation Hell be generous to his former lawyer at this point. Giuliani has signalled his legal team is prepared to fight. Just how strong do you think the southern Districts Case could be . You were once the attorney for the Southern District so you understand whats going on. I do generally, but i dont know if there will ultimately be a case. I was suggested that given the aggressiveness of the Search Warrants and given the status of Rudy Giuliani, that they probably have decent evidence and certainly very strong evidence of probable cause to be able to undertake those searches. Whether or not theres a charge later, i dont know. What i do know is, my expectation would be if and when you see a federal Criminal Charge out of the Southern District against Rudy Giuliani, they will believe its a strong case. I dont think you take an action like this and bring a charge given all the circumstances, collateral and central to the case, unless you believe you have a strong one. That, i think, is probably right. Like you, giuliani was also once the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He fully appreciates, he fully understands what is going on right now, right . Yes. Better than almost anyone whos ever been through the process. There was actually a famous case, at least for folks who are alums of the Southern District of New York, there was a case of somebody who was in the office and was committing crimes. He was taking evidence from the evidence room. Rudy giuliani was the u. S. Attorney at the time and he came down on that person like a ton of bricks. Its a piece of lore out of the Southern District of New York. There are not many folks, Search Nobody who ran the office, who had been investigated in this way like Rudy Giuliani has been. So he knows better than almost anyone in the country what all this means for him. Yeah. Rudy giuliani, the former mayor of New York during 9 11. He was americas mayor. Time magazine noted he was the man of the year. And look what has happened now. Hes 76 years old. Look what hes going through. Preet bharara, thanks so much for joining us. Just ahead, almost 4,000 deaths in more than 400,000 new cases in just 24 hours. Were going live to india where the Coronavirus Pandemic is setting chilling, awful new records.

Tonight the country is reporting its highestever oneday surge in cases, more than 400,000 and a new record high daily Death Toll, almost 4,000 people. Cnns Senior International Correspondent Sam Kiley is on the scene. He reports some grieving families are lashing out at doctors. Reporter frantic, knocking on the door to an intensive Care Unit for Covid Patients. Theres Confusion Monam among relatives and police. When they push inside, what they find is horrific. The icu has been abandoned except for its patients. And theyre all six dead before the doctors left. A voice says everyone ran away, there are no medics here, theres No One here, no doctor, no guard. How can doctors run away leaving patients . A crimes being committed here. How can you leave them, he yells at a Police Officer. Theres been no crime. There has been a tragedy. Medical staff were ordered out of the icu and to hide when the oxygen Ran Out. Its little hospitals like this that really form the backbone of the public health structures right across india. Theyre very much on the forefront of the Covid Pandemic dealing with patients, but also dealing with the emotional fallout. Its that fallout that caused them to briefly flee. H h heres why. Four days earlier, bereaved relatives of another deceased Covid Patient attacked staff, forcing calls to the police from doctors. When the oxygen Ran Out in the icu a couple of days later, another attack on the doctors began. Please run away and hide until i manage the situation. Reporter covid cases have soared past 20 Million in india with the official Death Toll climbing past 4,000 a day. Many people have died for lack of oxygen. There is growing anger at state and national governments, but its often medics who bear the brunt. Please help us, understand us, love us, respect us. You need doctors to supply oxygen to the patient. Reporter her staff are back at work in the icu again filled with patients. There is ample oxygen here, at least for now. But as scientists are warning of a third indian Pandemic Wave before the second has even peaked, Anger And Fear will continue to grow. Reporter wolf, theres been additional criticism now for narendra modi, the prime Ministers Decision to press ahead with a 1. 8 billion equivalent renovation and new Building Project Right in the center here of new delhi, of the administrative district to build a new home for the Prime Minister and a new parliament buildings.

Tonight were getting more insight into the deadly Security Failures during the January 6th insurrection here in washington up on capitol hill. The director of the u. S. Secret service now publicly acknowledging his Agency Wasnt prepared for civil unrest. Brian todd is working the story. Tell us more about this new testimony today. Reporter wolf, this is the first time weve heard from the Secret Service director since the January 6 tth insurrection. He has given bracing perspective on what could have been prevented that day. Tonight the director of the Secret Service in his first public remarks since the January 6th attack telling congress if his agency had been put in charge of Security Planning ahead of the electoral vote ko count, the capitol could have been better protected. You would have seen more resources. Reporter that would have involved designating January 6th as a socalled national special Security Event beforehand, something like a state of the union address. Former Capital Police Chief Terrence Gainer says with or without the intelligence failures there was not an indication it needed to be a national Security Event. We hadnt progressed that far to think the counting of the votes required it to be a national Security Event. Reporter the Secret Service did play a pivotal role that day, taking Vice President Mike Pence to safety. The Secret Service director also admitted some of the civil disturbances over the past year have brought to light some critical needs in his agency. Wez found we did not have enough of our folks trained in civil disturbance. We didnt have enough equipment in that regard. Reporter the testimony comes as d. C. Met Toll Pan Police Officer michael who was attacked on January 6, lashes out at congress. In an open letter to elected officials, he says he struggles with psychological trauma, emotional anxiety, and with the anxiety of hearing those who continue to down play the events of that day and those that would ignore them all together. The indeference shown to us is disgraceful. He didnt say who he was referring to, but complained to cnns Don Lemon about these remarks from former president Donald Trump about the rioters. Some of them went in there and theyre hugging and kissing the police and the guards, that they had grade relationships. I think its dangerous. Its very much not the experience that i had on the 6th. You know, i experienced a group of individuals that were trying to kill me. Reporter and in the meantime, a man from tennessee who was one of several charged with assaulting Officer Fanone has dropped his effort to be released from jail. This man allegedly grabbed the officer by the neck and dragged him into the mob where he was beaten. He has pleaded not guilty to ten different charges. And the officer has been very, very outspoken. Were learning more about what happened to him. Reporter he told Don Lemon, this was handtohand combat he was in, the worst of his entire life, his career spanning more than 20 years. He said he was beat within fists, with Metal Objects that they stole his badge and his ammunition, that he was tased multiple times. Hes clearly, clearly still suffering post traumatic stress. Hes talked about that openly. And its microcosm of what some of the officers had to deal with that day. There were dozens of officers injured that day, and not enough being said about the response from the metropolitan d. C. Police. They were real heroes that day. They dont get enough mention as far as their quick response and the numbers with which they responded to that riot. Theyre not mentioned enough in this whole thing. Youre right about that. And more than 400 of those rioters have been formally charged and more charges on the way. Brian todd, thank you very much. More News Right after this.

A piece of a rocket that fell off when they launched part of the chinese Space Station into orbit a couple of weeks ago. It is an important issue, as they watch where this goes. The question, is as you just pointed out, Nobody Know where is this will go. The range for when it will crash back Down To Earth is still quite wide. Sometime late Saturday Night or early sunday morning. Thats what makes this difficult to predict. Its swinging around the earth into orbit at 18 miles per hour. 18,000 miles per hour. Were not seeing any predictions on where this will hit. A key question, should you be losing sleep or worried about this . Not at the moment. And thats simply because of the earth itself. 70 is covered in water. Even the 30 thats covered in Land Isnt inhabited in a great percentage here. So the odds are still very much in favor of this crashing into the Ocean Or Crashing into some uninhabited territory. Last year, there was a 17 or 18 or 19Ton Piece of chinese space chunk, part of a rocket that hurdled towards the earth. It passed over l. A. And New York before crashing down into the atlantic. This has happened before. But something thats heavier than 20,000 tons hurdling Back To Earth is something the u. S. Military is tracking. There are more than 20,000 pieces of Man Made Onlbjects in space. And this is but one of them. It is the most pressing one of them that theyre tracking. And theyre not considering trying to shoot it down, is that right . Theres no plan to shoot it down. Because the orbit is uncontrolled, its very difficult. Part of it is, you might break up a piece of 20 Ton Piece of Space Junk into two ten Ton Pieces of space chuck. Oren lieberman, thank you very much.
