It is already facing fierce resistance from republican governors and lawmakers who say this is clear federal government overreach. Trade groups oppose the rule as well. The National Retail federation arguing today it is, quote, burdensome for retailers during the crucial Holiday Shopping season. The announcement comes just after an embarrassing Election Night where the president and his party were punished by voters for not ending the pandemic or passing their agenda to help struggling americans.

As Cnns Phil Mattingly reports the Democratic Party is increasingly desperate to have something they can show case to their constituents. It was not a good night.

The Administration Officials saying they believe under that authority they have the ability to act quickly to try and protect workers from any grave danger, something they say covid19 very clearly is making them very comfortable in terms of the legal basis of what theyre moving forward on now, jake. Thank you so much. Joining us now, live to discuss, cnn chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. As you heard phil just report the Biden Administration has this new january 4th vaccination deadline. It also applies to facilities that receive medicare funding or medicaid funding covering 17 million Health Care Workers. Youre not a political guy, a doctor, a medical guy. How effective could this vaccine be in getting the remaining millions of holdouts vaccinated . These mandates. They could be very effective, jake. It doesnt come without some holdouts still remaining and some fights as phil just alluded to in his piece. They could be very effective. Theres been examples of thousands of Police Workers in new york expected to no longer be working by november first because they would not abide by mandates. So far the number is 34 people who have taken unpaid leave. United airlines put in Vaccine Mandates and had some 59 of their work force vaccinated before the mandates now close to 99 . It makes a difference. It is unfortunate that is what the response has to be in order to make this happen but we see it in the Health Care World as well. Weve talked about this even prepandemic with flu shots for example across the board if you look at Health Care Workers who have been vaccinated against the flu. It is around 80 . If you break it down in terms of where you have requirements, close to 94 , 95 in those places. 70 if you dont have requirements. It makes a difference. You would think people would just do it on their own because the vaccines are so effective. This will make a difference. Miracles of modern science started during the traigs and they are their way out of the pandemic. This is exciting news for parents of young kids. The cdc has given the green light for Covid Vaccine for kids age 5 to 11. Some families remain anxious leaning toward a waitandsee approach. We cant begrudge their fears about kids and vaccines 5 to 11. What is your message to them . Ive talked to a lot of scientists and pediatricians, people involve in the field who have children that age. Theyre all getting their kids vaccinated. People who are looking at the data like i did, you did when our kids got vaccinated, theyre doing the same thing. That is the decision theyre making universally. About 27 of people, these parents say theyll just do this right away. But that leaves a lot of people who are either waiting and seeing or so far saying defin tiffly no. The numbers will change with time. Sometimes people want to wait and see and then when everything is going okay will go ahead and get the vaccine. The other thing to remind, jake, is that when we talk about the story of this pandemic its often been told as a story of elderly people primarily being affected by this disease. That is true. Kids are less likely to be affected but they are affected. Hundreds have died. Thousands have been hospitalized. Tens of thousands have gotten the disease. 100,000 kids were diagnosed with covid last week alone. 100,000. Think of the ramifications on society over all. I think of the Chickenpox Vaccine, which was this big deal when it came out. But before we had the Chickenpox Vaccine around a hundred children a year died of chickenpox. It was too many. They said, we need a vaccine. Now we have one and chickenpox is a far less sequential disease. Covid is far more consequential than that. This vaccine works. Get your kids vaccinated. Most who have looked at the studies have chosen to get their kids vaccinated. You interviewed the u. S. Surgeon general at a cnn event this morning for cnn citizen and he had exciting news about vaccines for kids under the age of 5. Take a listen. I have a vested interest in that as well as i have a 3 1 2yearold daughter at home. Ive been waiting, too. The trials for kids under 5 have been under way and we anticipate that in early 2022 is when we may see a vaccine available for kids in that range. I cant wait for that. It is going to be an important day as well. So for kids under 5 a vaccine coming. Huge news for so many families. Could that also make a big difference bringing the pandemic under control . What ive been told is right now the big spreaders are kids. That is right. That is the issue. Again, make it clear that the vaccines are to help protect the kids themselves. Kids can get very sick of this disease. I want to keep emphasizing that point. They can also be significant vectors going into the holidays you know people are spending time with elderly grandparents, maybe the first time in sometime indoors. After that younger kids if they can get the vaccines it will help decrease the spread overall and hopefully finally get the pandemic under control. One thing to point out we have a lot of Vaccine Availability in this country. If we are talking about pandemic control globally we have to really start thinking about these shots around the world. Weve given out boosters in wealthy countries between august and november while total doses in low Income Countries have been 36 million. Weve known disparity exists for a while but when we talk about pandemic control, we need to make sure more vaccines go all over the world. Not just humanitarian reasons to make sure there arent other forms of mutations. The variants that come forward. Thank you so much.

In our politics lead we are awaiting a judges decision in a high stakes legal fight dealing with the investigation of the january 6 insurrection. Former president trumps attorneys are trying to keep the January 6th Committee from obtaining hundreds of pages of documents that are currently held by the National Archives. They are arguing trump can claim Executive Privilege to keep them secret. The judge criticized both sides during todays hearing. Reporter in a high stakes Court Hearing in washington, Trump Lawyers arguing the former president should be able to keep more than 700 pages of his white house records secret from lawmakers investigating the January 6th Riot. We fight. We fight like hell. If you dont fight like hell youre mott going to have a country anymore. But federal judge Chutkin At Times appeared deeply skeptical about trumps case. Are you really saying that the president s notes, talking points, Telephone Conversations on january 6th have no relation to the matter on which congress is considering legislation . The January 6th Riot happened in the capitol. That is literally congresss house. The House Select Committee insists these records are essential to its investigation. We want to document a complete record of everything that was going on really minute boy minute during the day of insurrection. Reporter President Biden who has sitting president has the power to withhold previous administrations documents so far has declined to do so, pointing to the extraordinary circumstances of january 6th. The former president s actions represented a unique and existential threat to our democracy that we dont feel can be swept under the rug. Reporter trump has asked the Federal Court to block the committees requests arguing that the January 6th Investigation is illegitimate and that even as a former president he should get control over access to his records. The committee wants to see documents from Top White House advisers, handwritten notes about january 6th, trumps daily schedule, white house visitor log, and call records. Trumps lawyer justin clark arguing the requests are overly broad and failure to block them would open up the door for the partisanship of Document Requests and blowing a hole in Executive Privilege that should concern everybody. Wh whoil the judge asked clark to dial down the rhetoric a bit she challenged lawyers on the House Committee on the breadth of documents requested saying some of these requests seem very narrowly tailored but some are alarmingly broad. And there has to be some limit. The National Archives says it intends to hand over the Trump Documents next friday unless the judge blocks them which she did not appear willing to do. This is such an historic case with implications for future president s it is likely whatever decision the judge makes will be appealed. We also learned today that the committee has interviewed over 150 people so far in its investigation. Thank you so much. Lets talk to somebody who knows a little bit about Executive Privilege, john dean, white House Counsel during president Richard Nixons administration, obviously a key figure in the watergate investigation. Mr. Dean as always, great to have you here. So the judge criticized the trump teams Executive Privilege claim. Give us a quick background on Executive Privilege. Do you think it can be successfully invoked in this case . Executive privilege comes from the separation of powers that the fact we have three branches of government and each branch can do its own thing within its own powers and the other branch has limited rights to look at what theyre doing. For example we cant look at what the judges law clerk is doing. The president is saying even though im no longer president this is stuff that happened while i was so therefore i have a right to withhold it. Well, i dont think that is going to hold up. I think the judge sounds like she was trying to narrow the breadth of the inquiry or the request for documents a little bit but she is not buying that because this was a very unusual, if an insurrection isnt criminal it is certainly out of all boundaries of democracy. Thats pretty hard privilege to claim you cant let the congress see that material. And the judge as you know called the january 6 committees Document Request alarmingly broad which feeds into the trump teams argument this is just a fishing expedition. They just want to get as many documents as possible and find a crime in there. What do you think specifically the committee might be looking for . I think they are trying to find out what trumps role was in this. I think the reason you always start with an overbroad discovery request knowing it is very likely to get peeled back. What you dont start with, while trump has actually let some documents be released, his is much more narrow. I think the committee is probably going to prevail on pretty much all that they trump is trying to withhold. Jake, let me add one other thing. Youve got a two solo practitioners with little experience in this area representing trump. On the other side, you have some of the best washington lawyers representing the January 6th Committee and the National Archives as well as four amicus briefs. There are a dozen top lawyers involved in this case. So that shows you that trump is not taking it very seriously. He didnt get a top tier, experienced pirm to handle this. He is just trying to slow the process down. Assuming the judge rules in favor of the january 6 committee that will no question be appealed probably potentially all the way to the u. S. Supreme court. How do you see it playing out . I think in the long run that there will be a limited right for a former president to withhold documents. Otherwise it makes his privilege meaningless but not an overbroad privilege like trump is trying to block everything that he did even if it wasnt president ial or as a part of his official duties is not going to hold up. There is another legal issue going on. A little less high profile. The special counsel probe into the origins of the trump Russia Investigation produced an arrest today. There is a russian analyst that was a source for the 2016 steel dossier of unproven, disproven, and lurid allegations about trump. That analyst has been indicted for allegedly lying to the fbi. This follows the indictment of a lawyer for lying to the fbi also about the steel dossier. What do you make of this . Well, it is hard to put all these pieces together since you typically dont investigate the investigators. And if there were some mistakes made they should be corrected and people should be held responsible. That may be what happened with the dnc lawyer who said he wasnt representing a client but, rather, was just representing the greater good. Well find out about that. He has pled not guilty. On the latest one i dont know. There are things coming up about the fact the server between moscow and the trump headquarters was real and there is more information coming out about that by experts who say, hey. This wasnt a bogus report. There really were Communications Going on. All that has yet to be shaken out. Im sure well hear more. Thank you so much. Appreciate your time. Join me tomorrow night for a new cnn special report trumping democracy, an american coup. Key republican officials sharing with me never heard before details about how Close American Democracy came to crumbling. That is tomorrow night 9 00 p. M.

Com hire a reckoning for democrats trying to figure out how they got schooled in this weeks election. In virginia a clear mandate from parent who voted, spend more time focusing on education. Cnn exit polls show education was the second most important issue for Virginia Voters at 24 trailing only the economy. A the Washington Post poll shows in the last few months leading up to the election the number of voters who said education was their top concern rose nine points from 15 to 24 . Lets discuss. Let me start with you because this was a personal race for you as not only a Virginia Voter but virginia parent. You pulled your daughters out of school to home school them during the pandemic because you were worried about how they would do in virtual school. How much of this vote in virginia this week was parents just plain angry with how long schools had been closed . It is a large part about the story. You hear a lot about Critical Race Theory and Loudoun County issues but i want to remind people schools were closed physically for in virginia for more than a year, among the least attended schools in the nation. At the beginning parents were willing to give grace but i watched that grace in all of these facebook groups trying to get schools back open turn to frustration and real anger. The reason was that parents looked around and their kids were hurting particularly those with disabilities who were deprived of things they are legally required to give them in schools. They looked around and saw private schools opening with not many issues. They watched other countries open schools, other states open schools, and School Boards were to put it charitably nonresponsive to sometimes hostile to parents. And i think that is a new relationship that they hadnt realized the boundaries of before. A lot of these parents hadnt been engaged and became very engage and upset with the way they were treated. You say the democratic candidate ignored a key rule, dont mess with moms. I was a virginia mom before i moved back east and imagine all the conditions mk just laid out. Then imagine being a candidate for governor and getting up on a debate stage and saying to those moms, you shouldnt really have a say in your kids education. That is insane, should be politics 101 not only did he double down on it he defended it two days before the election. It was a huge misstep. You dont mess with moms. It is a lesson that both parties have learned the hard way. Trump learned that the hard way in 2020 when a huge usually reliable voting bloc for republicans white suburban moms, you are looking at one, left the party in droves. He lost without suburban moms and so did Terry Mcauliffe. It is interesting. We should note i think when it comes to kids deprived of inperson classroom education virginia was seventh worst in the country. New jersey was tenth worst. You hear directly from parents every day. What is the message they want politicians to hear right now . Were fed up and tired of being treated disrespectfully. I have been to school board meetings, met with parent advocates across this country. I did a tour in the last six weeks and what they are frustrated about is the Transportation Crisis we have. We cant get kids on reliable buses to get them into classrooms. We have covid19 protocols that are insane. Some kids have test and stay. Some kids stay home for two days. Some 14. We have kids in a social, emotional crisis after a period of isolation. These schools just got hundreds of billions of dollars and were not seeing it used in the ways parents and families have asked them to use it. We are frustrated and wont take it lying down. And, jake, just to clear up any sort of false notions here this is not just happening in red states. This is happening all over the place. You mentioned new jersey, my state, connecticut. We have local elections in my town mostly framed around the issues of education. They might be different issues but education is still a huge issue and when it looks like democrats are either taking voters for granted or talking over them or trying to impose federal will over parents, that is never, ever going to go well. So go ahead. At the end when people wonder about the momentum in this race changed in jane ya Terry Mcauliffes comment at the debate was one of those things and then the letter to the doj that mentioned parents and talked about them in this hostile way that frankly parent had felt that way being treated by their public servants. It added gasoline to the fire of parents being angry about the entire year. It is important to remember Public Schools closed for a year while private schools were operating, schools in other states were operating. It is historically anomalous and on the world stage. Children here why not served well. Parents were mistreated in many cases with sometimes the school board saying you just want your babysitters back. They wanted to be heard and often couldnt because they had Virtual Meetings with limited speaking time so the ballot box turned out to be the place they were heard. Terry mcauliffe in his wisdom decided to bring the head of the National Teachers union to virginia as the closer when she is literally the closer of the schools for a year and fought Tooth And Nail to keep them closed. Parents were ticked and had a right to be. Democratic Congressman Donald Mckeachan who represents the richmond area of virginia told the new york times, quote, you cannot tell a group of people who have had for 18 months or so to home school their children that their opinion about their childrens education doesnt matter. I do think that we as a party need to acknowledge that people have been through a lot in the last 18 months. This increased focus on education, is it too late for democrats . Too late for School Boards . Could this be a moment where people learn from experience . I think this is an incredible moment of reckoning because for 18 months parents have been the cofacilitators of education and we were horrified by what was a catastrophic failure of the entire system in our living rooms. The idea you want to say to parent across the country just ignore that, ignore the fact your kid is now in third, fourth, fifth grade and cannot read, has no idea what theyre doing in math, dont worry. Weve got it from here when quite clearly you did not have it over a period of 18 months. Youre seriously under estimating the crisis of confidence parents and families have in our entire education system. When democrats are turning around and saying, well, we dont want to hear from you or hear your concerns. We are your constituents. We are the people who actually put you into office. It is incredibly tone deaf. Take a listen to what Progressive Chair Congresswoman Jayapal told cnn last night about all of this. We have to Pay Attention to local politics. I think democrats are the party of parents not republicans, the ones looking to pass universal child care and prek, to cut Prescription Drugs costs. As soon as we get that done i think people will see that. What do you think . Yeah. This is a new democratic message i first heard my friend and former crossfire colleague say this on another network a couple nights ago. She said we cannot let the gop become the party of parents. That is what this is sort of setting up. I think democrats realized just how high the stakes are for this if republicans get to win on this issue which cuts across issues of education, health, and safety this is eating into a huge piece of the pie. And women to some extent are still swing voters. I think virginia and even as close as new jersey was made that very clear. Democrats should be worried. I just want to make sure everyone understands nobody is calling for violence or threats against teachers. Nobody wants teachers to get sick. Nobody wants the schools to be unsafe for teachers to learn at. There has just been a very tangible frustration for at least a year. Ive seen a lot of it in virginia just living in d. C. And you hear it about lack of empathy toward the children that has been expressed. Right. There was really almost a hostility toward those arguing that it was safe to go back. In fact, in somewhere like fairfax, a slap in the face where teachers advocated for by the unions were allowed to jump the line and get their vaccines early which all the parents were like, great. Then we can get school back and then they declined to go back to school. That is the dynamic youre looking at when you have people at home teaching their kids. Many of them, numbers are astounding for women who left the work force partly because they have to be home and facilitating this Zoom Butlering where you have to bring everything to your child while theyre on zoom and hit all their buttons for them. This was not acceptable as a public service. This is a very basic thing that your city and county should offer to you. When you address them with your grievances they shouldnt be telling you you just want your brunch and babysitters back which is far often, far too often the message parents got. That is why they were mad. Democrats can ignore these three women on my show right now if they want at their peril. Thanks all for being here. Appreciate it.

In our national lead, protests are under way in georgia right now amid growing outrage after a nearly all white jury was selected in the trial of the three white men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed 25 dayearold black ma shot and killed while jogging last year. Of the 16 jurors picked including four alternates only one black juror will hear the case. Prosecutors accuse the defense of deliberately striking prospective black jurors, a charge the judge appears to agree with but he said he will seat the panel anyway. Arberys mother reacted to the jury Selection Process outside of court yesterday. I was very shocked we only had one black, africanamerican man. It was devastating. As cnns Martin Savidge reports, race is front and center in this highly contentious case as Opening Statements begin tomorrow. Outside the courthouse in brunswick, georgia, reaction to the overwhelmingly white jury ranges from disappointment to outrage. 11 white jurors and one africanamerican will decide the fate of the three white men accused of killing the 25yearold black man Ahmaud Arbery while he was out jogging. The jury chosen at the end of a grueling two and a half week Selection Process that had originally summoned a thousand residents, drawn from a county where a quarter of the population is black. The revelation immediately drawing emotion from the prosecution suggesting that the defenses decision to remove eight African Americans from Jury Consideration was based solely on race. So africanamerican jurors made up onequarter of the jury panel. But the actual jury that was selected has only one africanamerican male on it. Reporter Defense Attorneys vehemently denied that arguing their decisions to strike black potential jurors were based on what they called race neutral reasons. Saying they removed them because they didnt believe theyd be impartial. Then the judge spoke. At first seeming to side with the prosecution. This court has found that there appears to be intentional discrimination. Reporter but ultimately ruling based on the defenses statements the case could go forward with the selected jurors. They have been able to explain to the court why separate from race those individuals were in fact struck from the panel. Reporter Defense Attorneys who only 24 hours earlier had been complaining how the potential jury pool did not sufficiently reflect the defendants in the case now saying they were satisfied with the 1 jurors and four alternates. We are very pleased we have been able to select now 16 members of this community. Reporter the case has been racially charged from the start with the three white men accused of pursuing and killing a young Black Man Jogging through their neighborhood in 2020 suspecting that he committed a crime. An armed Gregory Mcmichael and his son travis chased an unarmed 25yearold arbery in a truck eventually confronting him. In the resulting struggle prosecutors say Travis Mcmichael shot Arbery Three Times with a shotgun. Their neighbor William Bryant Authorities Say joining the pursuit, recording the incident on his cell phone. It wasnt until two months after the shooting when the video was made public the men were arrested. All three have pleaded not guilty to multiple State Charges including felony murder. And all day long, jake, the court has been hearing lastminute arguments that have been made on the part of both the defense and prosecution fine tuning the kind of evidence that jury will finally get to hear. The judge is still confident. Opening statements tomorrow morning. Thanks so much. New, alarming details about how a drone apparently targeted part of the u. S. Electric grid. Stay with us. E.

New details about an apparent plot targeting the nations power grid. A drone that crashed was likely targeting a pennsylvania power sub station according to a Joint Intelligence bulletin obtained by cnn. No damage was done to the sub station thankfully. But authorities are not sure who was responsible and officials are increasingly concerned about the threat that drones pose to critical infrastructure. Reporter the threats to the most critical parts of u. S. Infrastructure are only growing with advances in technology from the ever present fears of Cyber Attacks to potentially devastating physical attacks. Highlighted by an apparent attack at a Pennsylvania Power Station reported in an intelligence bulletin just obtained by cnn. It says in july, 2020, a small, modified drone which crashed was likely intended to disrupt operations by Creating A Short Circuit to cause damage to transformers or distribution lines. The Intelligence Report says the drone did no harm but that it is the first known instance of an Unmanned Aircraft system likely used to attempt to deliberately damage Energy Infrastructure in the United States. We have to keep in mind that these physical threats such as this drone attack are very, very real and with the rise of domestic extremism and other national, Foreign National types of involvement, you know, i think we can only expect these types of threats to rise. Reporter the drone was a simple, very Popular Consumer model. There were two long pieces of rope attached to it with thick, copper wire. The camera and other identifiers were removed indicating the operator was trying to hide their identity and probably flying it with line of sight near the power sub station. A successful attack could result in widespread regional loss of power. Some sub stations would probably feed a few hundred people whereas others, you know, it could be thousands or hundreds of thousands of households. It just depend on where it is within the power grid itself. This joint Intelligence Report goes on to detail numerous other incidents over the past few years in which drones were flying over critical Energy Infrastructure sites for unknown reasons like, jake, back in 2017 in california a drone flew into power lines knocking out power for three hours for some 1600 people. It is believed most of these incidents are not malicious but they are not ruling it out and say they do believe the illicit Drone Incidents around these critical sites will only grow in the coming years.
