were in place as rapper travis scott started to perform. fans surged to get closer to the stage, compressed in this massive crowd with no way to escape. many people began to panic, and witnesses say several started passing out. one concert goer called it a death trap. >> there was a kid in the crowd. people were getting trampled. they were losing their balance and tripping over the people on the floor and people were just dying left and right. it heated up about 15 minutes after travis came on stage and it progressively got worse. they were shoefg shoving. the barricades couldn't accommodate all the people that were there. it was too small. it was a death trap basically. >> the harris county medical examiner now says they need help identifying one of the eight people who was killed. in addition to the deaths, more than 300 others were hurt. 25 of them taken to hospitals. homicide and narcotics investigators are now joining into the investigation to figure out what happened. in fact, one security officer says he was pricked by someone at the show and then needed to be revived with narcam. even the rapper travis scott is speaking out more about this tragedy. what is he saying? >> reporter: he's speaking out on video for the first time. he says that he is devastated. that he didn't know exactly what was going on than he stopped the show once he realized the severity of it. take a listen. >> any time i can make out, you know, anything that's going on. you know, i stopped the show and helped them get the help they need. i could never imagine the severity of the situation. >> if you look closely behind me, you'll see that a memorial has been set up, and it's been growing. we've seen people stop by to drop off flowers and candles. eight people died here between the ages 14 of 14 and it 27. the first victim was franco pettino, 21 years old. he was identified by the university of dayton. the university says he was a senior from naperville, illinois, and that he was a mechanical engineering major. we're also learning from the harris county institute of forensic sciences, that's the name of the medical examiner here in harris county. they are asking for the public's help in identifying the eighth individual. this is the unknown individual that we learned about yesterday from authorities. now we have a description according to the harris county institute of forensic sciences, a man in his early 20s, over 6 feet tall, weighing 428 pounds. short black or dark brown hair. this is a criminal investigation that involves the narcotics division here of the houston police department. there's so many questions that are still unanswered an and the officials here have vowed of a thorough investigation. fred. >> it's terrible and incredibly sad. >> rosa flores, thanks so much. >> a federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the biden administration's new vaccine mandate. those new vaccine rules apply to private businesses with 100 or more employees. certain health care workers and federal contractors. they are set to take effect january 4th. the appeals court says there is cause to believe there are great statutory and constitutional issues with the mandate. cnn's arlette saenz joins us from the white house. what is the white house saying? >> reporter: the white house is confident that ultimately the vaccine rule for the larger employers will hold up in court. they are certainly preparing for possibly a long legal battle ahead. now this ruling from the fifth circuit court appeals does not appear to have any immediate impact. this rule is not set to go into effect until january 4th, though there are some other elements of the rule that will go into effect earlier, december 5th is when the larger companies will be required to provide paid time off in order for their employees to receive vaccinations and also require masks in the workplace for unvaccinated workers. the top legal officer at downof labor said yesterday that they believe that they have the emergency authority to institute such a vaccine requirement for these businesses, and the white house chief of staff ron klain this morning expressed confidence that it will hold up in court. take a listen. >> i'm quite confident that when this finally gets fully adjudicated, not just a temporary organized the validity of this requirement will be upheld. it's common sense, chuck. if osha can tell people to wear a hard hat on the job. >> right. >> to be careful around chemicals, it can put in place simple measures to keep our workers safe. >> this ruling has really been swift. the administration had announced the vaccine rule on thursday, and it was just yesterday that the court issued that order, and also at least 27 states so far have sued the biden administration to try to put a stop to this. it's certainly just the first legal step in what's expected to be a long legal road ahead. fred? >> all right. arlette saenz from the white house, thank you so much for that. let's bring in an emergency medicine physician. good to see you, doctor. the mandate covers millions of health care workers at facilities participating in medicare and medicaid. what are your views on further delaying this kind of mandate? >> i think further delays are really going to be a huge problem for our workforce and keeping them healthy and also in keeping the patients healthy. so from a health care worker's standpoint this is an easy one where every worker should be getting vaccinated and what i see in this lawsuit, is first of all, it's many of the hardest hit states that are pushing back which is really a nonsensical thing, and the two things that come up over and over again is we'll have huge employment losses, but we don't see that. had mandates in effect for a while now and most people will get vaccinated when there's a mandate there. people will do the right thing when they are given a little nudge in that direction and the other thing that we see is people saying it's individual rights. we have an individual right to make that decision or not but our individual rights are predicated on protecting others and when our individual rights impinge on other's health we lose those right and we have a duty to protect each other and we need to do that. >> dr. gottlieb says this decision could bleed into other areas and businesses granting exemptions creates problems for others as well. are hospitals and other facilities putting others at risk in your view? >> i think this could be a huge risk and what we've seen with the exceptions is that the vast majority are not upheld. people may apply for exemptions and most are denied and most whose exemptions are denied eventually get vaccinated. it has to be under extreme medical circumstances for them to be legitimate. most of them fall by the wayside and disappear. we look at big health care systems, the vast majority of people. we're taking over 959% or more end up getting vaccinated. >> cdc data those that 70% of u.s. adults now are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, so what does this mean in your view for herd immunity? haven't heard much discussion about herd immunity as of recent so what's the correlation here? >> i think what we have learned over the last eight or nine months that we've been humbled by this virus and what we thought herd immunity would need to get to that and what was true and with that 70% we also have to remember there are places where the rates are much higher and places where it's much lower and there are places where as a country it's at 70%. there's regions where we continue to see surge after surge until they get their vaccination rates higher. i don't know that anybody has a really good idea of what herd immunity is going to take or whether that's even achievable. i think that there was a time when we thought 70% was the right number and we're learning that we just don't know. we don't know and it's a moving target and instead of looking for a specific percentage to get, to we should be saying that everyone needs to get vaccinated. that should be our goal. let's get as high as we possibly can. >> this week pfizer's pediatric vaccine against covid was approved for use in kids ages 5 to 11, families should not wait, you say. what should happen if a family is to delay because there's a lot. there's still that wait-and-see attitude in many households. >> well, you know, we have a couple of friends where we live and we have 11-year-olds who just became eligible and, unfortunately, in spite of being very safe throughout pandemic they just contracted covid, within the last week they contracted covid and what this tells me, there's really two messages. one is don't wait. don't wait for your kid to get covid to say i wish i got the vaccine. get it as soon as you can, get them protected and both of these families have older kids who were already vaccinated. they are living in the same house, close quarters and they have not contracted covid. these vaccines are extremely good in protecting ourselves as well as everybody else so my message to parents is get vaccinated as soon as you can. frerkd i have an appointment this evening for my 10-year-old an an appointment tomorrow for my 6-year-old. get your kids vaccinated as soon as you can. don't be on the other side where you'll regret having missed that window. >> my kids, my young et kids, their appointment is next week so we look forward to that in our household with our kids. we've been talking about what it is like. a little painful like any shot will be, but they have come around quite a bit in. your view now, young people in these age groups that we're talking about as young as 5, how much of a game-changer is it potentially for what all of us have been experiencing in the last nearly two years now? >> it's 28 million kids in that age group 5 to 11 that are eligible for vaccines that we can now get vaccinated and this is keeping them in school and keeping them healthy and keeping them away from long covid and also getting back to some of the things that we wanted to do. my 10-year-old is already talking in five weeks her and her friends are going to be fully vaccinated. we can have sleep overs again and do things again and we can have opportunities to get things back for our kids. the more we get vaccinated the more they are protected and the more they can start doing things and the more the holidays are around the corner, i can't wait that my family is protected and the family of our loved one is also protected. >> i'm looking forward to that, too. good to see you, thank you so much and stay well. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up. howard university students are camping out in protest over campus living conditions complaining about mold, flooding and rodents. i'll speak with students leading the charge straight ahead. plus, the university president. d benefits at fine hotels + resorts. someday can be any day you want. one of the many reasons you're with amex platinum.

half of his economic agenda. the $1.75 trillion social spending and climate bill. the administration had hoped to pass the legislation together, but the timeline for the larger bill slipped last week after moderates in the house demanded more information on the bill's costs. >> we received a slew of data this past week from the treasury department and from the white house and some early congressional budget office analysis. we're expecting to receive more in the next seven to ten days. we expect it all to match up to what was presented and we'll move forward. >> the co-founder of climate power and former white house chief of staff. so good to see you, mr. podesta. >> how are you? >> great. >> after so many missteps by the biden administration over the past few months, the afghanistan withdrawal, growing crisis at the border and some would say a pretty bad election day for democrats on tuesday, how big of a win do you see this passing of the infrastructure bill? >> look, it was a great day for the president. he's been working hard to bring this bipartisan bill on infrastructure home to get it passed in both the house and the senate. it will create literally millions of jobs. it's a very significant investment, the biggest investment in infrastructure since president eisenhower created the interstate highway system but there's still more work to do as you noted in your intro. this bill has spent some money, particularly some money on climate resilience, but the big investments that the president has promised to reduce emissions, what he talked about when he went to glasgow earlier in the week, really remain in that other bill, just the build back better bill, so he's got more work to do. it looks like there's an open path now in the house with the moderate members saying they will vote for the bill once they are satisfied that the scoring adds up, but there's still -- still needs to pass the senate. >> do you feel like the white house has been a little tepid about, you know, exuding a real victory lap because this only meets them halfway with the goal, with the president's agenda. they have yet to pass that second and larger part of biden's agenda, but you say there's some real optimism among moderates finally getting on board, but what is the strategy that you're seeing here from the white house? >> well, you know, they clearly tried -- they had some holdouts. this has always been a -- both pieces of legislation garnered the support of 259 democrats and there have been 11 howled quotes, and there have spent months trying to get them back under the temp. i think in the house that's finally been successful. they have signed a pledge that they would vote for this bill and i believe they did that knowingly and they will go forward with that, but, again, these are huge investments on the climate side and also to try to make everyday life a little bit better for americans through the provision of child care, of reducing child poverty through the child tax credit and lowering the cost of prescription drugs so there's a lot in that second bill, and, you know, we've been advocating for it because of the climate provisions. there's strong investments in clean energy and clean buildings and electric vehicles. it's really what's needed to meet president biden's pledge to reduce u.s. emissions by 50% to 52% which 2030. if the united states is not in the lead in this, if that fails, our credibility is low and the whole world will begin to roll back so there's a lot riding on this. like i said, the house seems clear. the senate still has some work to do. >> yeah. a lot riding on this as you say particularly about the climate provisions that is in this second -- this big spending bill. in fact, former president obama is helping to promote the u.s. commitment to addressing what is a global problem of climate change. how important is it that the former president is photographs, you know, kind of a secret weapon so to speak among the arsenal for this white house. particularly as you say, credibility is on the line. >> you know, he's headed to glasgow i think really with a global message. i think it will be very important to the united states, but i think he speaks to people across the globe and particularly young people. you saw the protests out in glasgow yesterday, and -- and president obama has enormous credibility across the globe. people saw him act when he was president. i was his counsellor work on climate change during that period of time, but i think that he's going with another message which is even with donald trump who tried to reverse everything obama did on climate, the people in america hung in there. states, cities, the private sector, individual americans kept trying to tackle the climate change challenge and indeed the united states kept on track and kept lowering emissions even with a person in the form of donald trump in the white house, so i think he'll have a lot to say to the world. he'll meet with young people and with business leaders, and i think that, again, in a time when politicians don't have a lot of credibility, he's one politician who i think one people count on to bring hope, to bring change in an american environment but also in the global environment. >> former president obama very passionate about it as you are you and clearly so is the sitting president biden right now. in the protests that you made reference to, a lot of young people are fired up about it from glasgow to london and paris, sydney, amsterdam, even seoul, but, you know, while you see people around the world jumping up and down and screaming and saying something more needs to be done. do you feel like that passion isn't being demonstrated in the u.s. like it is on other shores and lands. >> well, clearly in the u.s. it's sort of become a partisan issue. this is the reason -- the reason that this is hard is because we've got to get the votes of every democrat in the congress, but i think that the -- that these provisions, the investments that president biden hat proposed are enormously popular across the board and it's really the politicians that are a lagging indicator on the republican side. 80% support the provisions on clean buildings and clean energy. they want to see a better healthy environment. this will lower the cost of energy which is also important at this point in time for people who are worried about inflation. it's a winner with the american police, and i think that, you know, the -- the political system needs to react to that and act now. it's really critical as even now while we're seeing what's going on in glasgow across the globe, we've got to just step it up or we're going to be in a world of hurt come, you know, a decade or two from now. >> john podesta, pleasure to have you. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> still ahead. more fallout for green bay packer aaron rodgers who just lost a major sponsorship deal

he did, and if you don't remember back in august, he said i've been immunized. he then caught covid and tested positive this week and then after that he said, well, i didn't take a vaccine, i took a
