top of a brand new hour. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm alisyn camerota, thank you for joining us on this special holiday edition of cnn newsroom. we begin with the ongoing threat to democracy unfolding in realtime. donald trump still trying to sell his big lie that the 2020 election was somehow stolen from him thousand he was defeated by joe biden. it's not just his rabid supporters going along with this lie, it's also top establishment republicans. seven-term senator chuck grassley standing side by side with the losing ex-president on stage at a des moines rally on saturday. >> and trump's former chief strategist steve bannon is defying the house select committee investigating the january 6th election. he says he won't cooperate. just how aggressive will the committee be in his search for the truth. here's one of the two gop members on the panel. >> it gets to a point we're stone walling, and we're not serious. there's contempt things you can file. you can do it through congress. you can do it through the doj, criminal contempt. i think that's our leaning is to say criminal con tempetempt. there's going to be some day i stay and hope people wake up from this hangover/drunken thing going on and realize that the country is actually pretty important. >> let's get into it now with cnn senior legal analyst, and former federal and state prosecutor elie honig, let's first start with the content here. what the committee can learn from these documents that the members are seeking. >> yeah, victor, so we done know exactly what's in these documents, but we have a couple of hints that suggest this could be a gold mine. two things, first of all, the documents in dispute, they're from the national archives, these are documents that show the internal deliberations, conversations within the white house. you want to go to the heart of what was going on january 6th. how donald trump was reacting. that's going to be in the documents. the second thing is there are 45 pages of documents about that donald trump's lawyers have singled out and said we want to block those. we're claiming executive privilege on 45 documents out of thousands. the former prosecutor in me is thinking, gee, why those 45 documents. this could be a really important fight. >> so when we hear about donald trump's inner circle, such as steve bannon, saying they're not going to comply with the subpoena. that's out of order. i mean, usually in america, we comply with subpoenas. we know how law and order, and law enforcement works. however, they're tlhumbing thei nose at these things. really, what teeth do these things have. when you hear the congressman there say there could be a contempt charge filed by congress, does that have teeth? i mean, what can they do criminally? >> yeah, alisyn, there's two things. there's civil charges as representative kinzinger just said, they can go to a judge asking order testimony. that takes forever. that takes more time than the committee has. they can refer the case to doj, but it's doj that gets to decide whether to file criminal charges. picking up on the frustration i share and a lot of people share because there's just no consequences to any of this thus far. we've seen congress get slow played. we have seen d justice take a gentle path. doj historically has not charged contempt of congress cases. who's going to step up here, who's going to show resolve or backbone. will it be the committee, doj and merrick garland or nobody. >> e lie honig, thank you very much. we're learning alarming details of failures of senior leaders in the capitol police in the lead up and after math of january 6th. >> cnn correspondent whitney wild is with us. we know these allegations are coming from a whistleblower who was a former high ranking capitol police official, right? >> reporter: that's right, and this person has 31 years on the department, so well versed in how the department works and is supposed to work, this letter obtained by cnn and first reported by politico claims that two of the top u.s. capitol police officers failed to act on january 6th as the violence unfolded. the letter also says that former acting chief lied to congress earlier this year. the whistleblower says in the letter that, again, their former high ranking officer, they have three decades, they know how this place works, the person came forward because assistant chiefs, pitman, and acting chief sean gallagher played a role for disciplining officers on january 6th, but the whistleblower believes they were never fully held personally accountable. some of the allegations mirror conclusions from other reports. some of the allegations in this lengthy letter, it's 16 pages, extremely detailed, the letter really takes aim at pitman and gallagher, and accuses congress of failing to investigate their missteps. victor, alisyn. >> so whitney, explain this, one major issue raised is the allegation that the assistant chief, pitman, has not been honest about how the threat intelligence was chaired. >> that's right. as the capitol police chief left, she was in command of the department for several months. in her role as acting chief, she had to testify in front of the senate and other committees and tell people what happened. specifically the whistleblower took issue with what she told senate investigators, and according to a senate report, pitman said the department had intelligence that showed as early as december 21st people were commenting on a blog about confronting lawmakers and bringing weapons to the rally on january 6th. that was an important report. she said that very critical information was shared with command staff. now, the whistleblower says that is not true. here's a quote from the letter. never shared it with the rest of the department, particularly those commanders with real operational experience. if provided this information would have changed the paradigm of that day. a spokesman denied to politico that pitman lied to congress, but it's a very startling accusation. >> there's 16 pages this letter goes on. what else did this whistleblower say in those pages? >> it zeros in on another very specific theme. it's this allegation that one the fighting broke out, neither pitman nor gallagher took significant action. the whistleblower claims to have been in the skcommand center, a during the person was in there, they say what i observed is them mostly sitting there looking blankly at tv screens showing realtime footage of the officers and officials fighting for the congress. a law enforcement source defended the two officials said they were focused on protecting lawmakers, and reiterating the fact that not one member of congress was heard. the u.s. capitol police executive team, which includes assistant chief pitman, and scene gallagher, a lot has changed since january 6th. a lot has changed under the new police chief. >> thank you, whitney. let's talk about january 6th and all that's happened then. let's back up and talk about how we got here on the day of the riot, the one that forced lawmakers out of the house and senate chambers and into safe rooms. gop senator chuck grassley condemned it on an attack on democracy. and the reality is he lost the election. he and other republicans seem to be questioning trump's place as the head of the party, but here is grassley now, excusing the former president's attempt to twist the justice department into overturning the win. . >> he listened to the testimony, and in the end, he decided he wasn't willing to do what one of those people in the justice department urged him to do, he wanted them to send letters to all the state legislatures, reactivate your state legislatures and get a whole new set of intelligence. he rejected all of that, and they're trying to make it a scenario that he was trying to get the justice department to the state. >> we learned from a judiciary report that he rejected it because doj officials threatened to resign en masse. here is senator grassley. grassley who's running for an 8th term making it clear why he wants to get trump's support. >> i'm thrilled to announce tonight that senator scchuck grassley has my complete and total endorsement for reelection. >> if i didn't accept the endorsement of a person that's got 91% of the republican voters in iowa, i wouldn't be too smart. i'm smart enough to accept that endorsement. >> let's talk about this with former republican congresswoman barbara comstock of virginia, and dean obadala, a contributor to cnn.com and the author of an op-ed, the most alarming trump rally yet. thank you for joining me, both of you. and deean, i want to start with you. these allegations, we have heard them before. on stage, you had the iowa governor, two republican members of the house, and the senior senator, the center of the establishment there of the party in washington, chuck grassley, why is this, then, the most alarming trump rally yet? >> first of all, victor, thanks for having me on. we're amazed, seeing hypocrisy by republicans. it's stop siunning isn't it. the reality is every rally has been alarming and donald trump is spewing the same lies that radicalized people. the prior rallies they were not the leading establishment republicans. it was the marjorie taylor greens. in iowa, you had the governor, chuck grassley, members of congress. chuck grassley, and two other members of congress condemned trump. now they're too happy to sit up there and suck in the support from his base, and you don't have to be a story to get this. it's alarming when the party is defined by blind loyalty to their leader. what's trump's move next. it's alarming. the establish has come in and endorsed donald trump's lies. half of his speech was saying joe biden didn't even win the election. this is dangerous talk. >> barbara, let's talk about that dangerous talk that chuck grassley seemed to put to the side when he said listen, 91% of the republicans in iowa, and we saw that from the latest des moines register poll support the former president, the smart thing to do would be to accept that tendorsement. your reaction to seeing grassley on stage with the former president. >> as you know, i'm in the camp of adam kinzinger, and liz cheney in terms of supporting the january 6th committee. i tweeted and i was seen on tv saying let's subpoena all of trump's records, his phone records, text records, everything immediately. so yes, it's frustrating for me to see this go on, and each rally is worse, and what's also frustrate to go me is how slow it is taking this january 6th committee to operate. if i had been in nancy pelosi's shoes, and remind everyone i am a republican, i would have been putting that committee together immediately. i would have been having whatever standing committee subpoena all those documents of donald trump. the committee is so important, and democrats need to -- >> let me jump in here. i hear you saying the committee is slow, but the documents, the testimony that's requested, they're slow walking it. they're not responding, so is that really the fault of the committee? >> no, but it's incumbent democrats now, because republicans aren't going to do it, except liz cheney, and adam kinzinger and the like, but the contempt report for steve bannon should have been written. i would have filed it and set the date for the committee to vote on it and get it to the floor, and nancy pelosi should be saying, yes, i will speed that right to the floor and get it over to the justice department. they need to be subpoenaing all of those records, and i think your earlier guest who talked about some of the good records that are going to be in those archives, i think there will be good records there because i think those people in the counsel's office are probably going to cover themselves well by saying we warned the president this was illegal or unconstitutional. they're going to have made a record, i expect, i think, i certainly hope that they made that record, and those records will be there. but the committee, unfortunately, has to do this themselves with the help of a few of the republicans. >> let's remember that republicans had the opportunity to support a 9/11 style commission. they did not. republicans who were put on this committee then said they would not join the committee, so you have two republicans, they have been republican obstructionists on this committee. congresswoman, let me stay with you, and dean i'm going to come back to you. five months ago we were having a conversation, you were one of 100 republicans who signed on to this letter saying that you were calling it the forces of conspiracy division, december poe -- despotism, and if you could not reimagine the party to the party of i ddeals, you would hasten an alternative. was that just a press release or real? >> you have seen people come out today, miles taylor, and former governor whitman had an op-ed talking about some of the candidates they're going to support. i have served on a board to elect republican women where we specifically did not and will not support a marjorie taylor greene or lauren boebert and we're looking for -- >> this was about changing the party or starting another one. it's five months, and it's worse. >> listen, the democrat party is kind of a mess right now, which is why you look at a state like iowa where biden is cratered because they're moving so far left. what i'm trying to do -- >> but this is about the republican party, that's what your organization was about, changing the republican party or starting another one. it's been five months, your party's worse. there have been no changes from those folks. dean let me come back to you in the time we have left. >> we have people on the committee who are triying to ge to the truth, and i think that's important to do that. >> all right. dean, the near common denominator, no offense, congresswoman, was that the people on that list are not in power, with the exception of liz cheney or adam kinzinger, mitt romney, monday, wednesday, friday, pushing against this part of the party. as we get closer to 2022, where are these voices coming from that we're going to stop what we're watching? >> there's nothing. 91% of republicans in iowa in the polls you mentioned love donald trump. the gop is the party of trump. this gop is now democracies die. it is embracing authoritarianism. it has embraced violence. a cbs poll in july said 55% of trump supporters as an act defending freedom. that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who believes in that demock sracy. this gop has been politically crushed to save our democracy. that's the blunt raeality. historians are saying this. people are yelling at us to look at this for what it is, an authoritarian or fascist movement. it can happen here. people don't think it can. it's happening. people have to unite, regardless of party affiliation. if you're pro democracy, stand up against an antidemocratic movement. >> dean obadala, and former congresswoman comstock, thank you. the first coronavirus antiviral drug for emergency use authorization, what that could mean in the fight against covid-19. as someone who resembles someone else... i appreciate that liberty mutual knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh, yeah. that's the spot. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® is a pill that lowers blood sugar in three ways. increases insulin when you need it... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. wake up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ please don't take my sunshine away ♪ you may pay as little as $10 per prescription. ask your healthcare provider about rybelsus® today. - [narrator] as you get ready for what's next, custom gear from custom ink can help make the most of these moments. we've developed new tools to make it easy for you. custom ink has hundreds of products to help you feel connected. upload your logo or start your design today at customink.com this isn't just a walk up the stairs. when you have an irregular heartbeat, it's more. it's dignity. the freedom to go where you want, knowing your doctor can watch over your heart. ♪ ♪ ♪ there are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark. but with our new multi-cloud experience, you have the flexibility you need to unveil them to the world. ♪ . this morning, merck applied for fda emergency use authorization for its experimental antiviral pill to fight covid-19. in a clinical trial of more than 700 volunteers with early stage covid, half were given the drug, half given the placebo. >> 28 ended in the hospital. >> 45 people were hospitalized after taking the placebo, and eight deaths. merck says this cuts the risk of hospitalization and death in half among participants. if authorized, this pill would become the first at home treatment for covid. cnn medical analyst, dr. ling wynn joins us now. this is promising news. where are you on this anti-viral? >> i think this is a big deal and the reason, alisyn, is that we have to come to terms with the fact that we will be living with covid-19 for the foreseeable future. we're not going to get rid of it, and so we have to figure out how can we reduce the harm that covid-19 can cause. we know there are some people who are just not going to get vaccinated and to prevent them from overwhelming the hospitals, if they take a pill that reduces their likelihood of being hospitalized, that's really important. also, breakthrough infections can and will happen. if this pill ends up getting authorized by the fda and does what it says it does, which is that it reduces the chance of hospitalization or death by half, that's really significant, and we should say this is not replacing the need for vaccination, but rather it adds one more really important tool as we figure out how can we live with covid-19. >> you make the point it does not replace the vaccine but do you believe there's potential as significant negative impact on getting people vaccinated if there's a pill, if i get covid, i can take and it will keep me out of the hospital and keep me alive, i'll just wait in case i need it. >> i think that already is the mind set that many people have when it comes to other aspects of medicine, which we should use that analogy. i mean, i don't think it's a good idea for people to say, well, we can get a quadruple bypass if i end up having bad heart disease, i'm not going to watch my diet or take medications for high blood pressure and diabetes. obviously prevention is still going to be the best medicine. while there are some people who probably are not going to get vaccinated anyway or might use this pill to justify their reasoning, i don't think that that is is a reason for us to not have this pill, that potentially saves a lot of lives. that leads us to former congressman allen wrest who appears happy to use precious hospital resources this past weekend. he contracted covid, along with his wife. he was unvaccinated. she was vaccinated. she's been released from the hospital. he got the monoclonal antibodies, might both have gotten them. he got the monoclonal antibodies at the hospital, and he had an interesting lesson that he took away from this. he tweeted, i can attest that after this experience, i am more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates instead of enriching the pockets of big pharma and corrupt bureaucrats and politicians, we should be advocating the monoclonal antiinfusion therapy but isn't it also made by big pharma? what do you think of his logic here? >> it doesn't really make sense. i mean, i'm glad that he's doing better. i'm glad he's a proponent nor monoclonal antibeody, which is n infusion therapy that costs thousands of dollars. you can't infuse yourself, you have to go into a health care setting in order to get this treatment. ideally, though, you want to prevent from contracting covid-19 in the first place. this is where things have just gotten so confused. ideally, you want to get the vaccine to prevent from contracting covid. the vaccine substantially reduces your risk of being hospitalized or dying. i think a lot of us believe on top of that, if you were still to get ill, you still want to get the best treatment possible so monoclonal antibodies a good option now. this oral pill made by merck and others that are coming, but this really should be used together and a treatment does not replace the need for prevention. >> thanks for explaining all of that. dr. leana wen, thank you for talking to us. after managing several days in the woods without food or water or shelter. as you can see, these are just from a little while ago, getting hugged by his mom. he also just got a deputy sheriff's badge, so we have his miraculous survival story coming up. as a dj, i know all about customization. that's why i love liberty mutual. they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback?

>> yeah, victor, while an arrest into minnesota shooting, three men were arrested. in the georgia shooting a man has been taken into custody and charged with murder. in georgia, 26-year-old dillon harrison was the police officer shot and killed during his very first shift on the job. police say he was ambushed outside the alamo police department, and about a mile away from where the shooting took place, damian ferguson was taken into custody, and he's now been charged with murder. the officer is survived by his wife and six month old son. in st. paul, minnesota, three men were arrested in connection with a shooting at a bar that killed 27-year-old markeisha wiley, and injured over a dozen others. take a listen to the dj at the time who described what was happening when those shots first rang out. >> i'm trying spinning on the stage, and having fun in the moment, and i hear a pop pop pop pop pop, everybody goes down. i'm like, okay, they're still shooting, but the music is plague. i reached up to turn the music off. i was like, okay, i look around and i could see people were really frantic, andmented to get out of there really fast! and when police got there, there were already gunshot victims on the ground inside and outside. police described it as a hellish situation. >> horrible, all of these stor stories. what have you learned about the nurse who was killed in times square. >> the nurse, 58-year-old oncology nurse from new jersey, she was shoved to the ground, and hit her head. she was taken to the hospital afterward, but sadly did not -- sadly succumbed to her injuries, i should say. the man who pushed her was accused of stealing another person's phone right before this. he's now been charged with murder, and when you look at the weekend and its context, this has come as part of a year we have seen violent crime raised, even compared to the especially violent 2020. much of those trends carrying over. in fuller context, even though the numbers are higher now, they're 40% lower than the 80s and 90s. that's no comfort to families continue to go lose loved ones today, and continuing to grieve from this weekend. >> omar jimenez, thank you. a paraplegic man is accusing the dayton police department of unlawful arrest and profiling after the release of police body cam video showed officers yanking this man from his car during a traffic stop. >> we're going to show you some of the video. police asked the disabled man to get out of his car. he said he couldn't because of his condition. we want to warn you, the video is disturbing. >> i'm not getting out. i just told you, i'm a paraplegic, i can nnot get out. >> call your wife, sir, please. if you pull me out of here -- >> i'm going to pull you out, and then call because you're getting out of the car. >> that's not an option. you're getting out of the car so you can cooperate and get out of the car or i'll drag you out of the car. do you see your two options here? what would you like to do sir? >> i would like you to call your wife, sir. come on, bro. listen. i'm a paraplegic, bro, you can hurt me, bro. what are you all doing, bro, i'm a paraplegic bro. i'm a paraplegic. i got help getting in the car. >> get out of the car. get out of the car. >> i'm a paraplegic. >> ow, ow, ow, somebody help. >> they pulled him by his head and his hair there. the driver is now filed a complaint with the naacp saying the police treated him like a dog. cnn's polo sandoval has more. i can see, polo, the hand controls, they didn't see those. >> right by his right leg. if you look closely, you can actually see that. this is video of an event or incident that took place on september 30th and in it, you can actually see that encounter that happened between clifford owensby, and dayton police officers. in terms of what initially led up to this traffic stop, according to dayton police, they had spotted him leaving what they suspect to be a drug house. that combined with felony weapons and drug history, that is why they planned to initiate a k-9 search of the vehicle and this is when there's an altercation taking place. there was this back and forth that lasted about two minutes between the officers and owensby, he makes is very clear he does not have use of his legs when the officer asked him step out of the vehicle. the officer asked if he can help him step out of the vehicle. the policy everyone step out of the vehicle so they can ensure the protection of the k-9 officer. things get tense, that scuffle takes place. in terms of what we're hearing from his legal representation, owensby's attorney telling our colleague, they believe the actions of the officers were illegal on multiple fronts. you mentioned profiling, unlawful arrest. they're alleging illegal search and seizure, failing to read him his rights before being jailed so what we expect to happen here, according to what we're hearing from the attorney is a lawsuit filed not just against these officers but against the dayton police department and the state in general now. i want to hear you directly from him and what he's recently told cnn affiliate wkef about what he remembers that went down that day? >> this is it. this is how i go out. just like every other black man i watched go out on tv, and this is my turn. the way that they have treated me during that traffic stop, i only feel like i was an actor in a movie out of roots, a movie i was taught growing up about racists and slaves. i think this type of stuff probably happens all the time. i'm just thankful, if they were willing to do all of that stuff while the cameras were rolling, i can only imagine what would happen if no cameras was rolling. >> police did find a little over $22,000 of cash inside owensby's vehicle. he explains those were his savings and also went on to say they did not find any drugs or weapons in his vehicle, and also there were no drug related charges filed. as for the profession standards bureau, they are investigating. the mayor saying everybody in that video is owed a thorough investigation, and we're hearing that's what is beginning right now. >> polo sandoval, thank you. >> thanks, guys. you've seen gas prices are rising. the highest now in seven years. we'll take a look at what's behind the biden administration, and what they are considering. bogeys on your six, limu. they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual so they only pay for what they need. woooooooooooooo... we are not getting you a helicopter. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss, so the national eye institute did 20 years of clinical studies on a formula found in preservision. if it were my vision, i'd ask my doctor about preservision. it's the most studied eye vitamin brand. if it were my vision, i'd look into preservision preservision areds 2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the nei to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. i have amd, it is my vision, so my plan includes preservision. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire growing up in a little red house, on the edge of a forest in norway, there were three things my family encouraged: kindness, honesty and hard work. over time, i've come to add a fourth: be curious. be curious about the world around us, and then go. go with an open heart, and you will find inspiration anew. viking. exploring the world in comfort. this may look like a regular movie night. but if you're a kid with diabetes, it's more. it's the simple act of enjoying time with friends, knowing you understand your glucose levels. ♪ [ chantell ] when my teeth started to deteriorate, i stopped hanging out socially. it was a easy decision -- clearchoice.
