before are hospitalized with covid. the cdc predicts the entire country will see record hospitalizations in the coming weeks. they also predict more than 44,000 people could die in the next month. for more now, let's tune to cnn's tom foreman. >> reporter: the skyrocketing record levels of new infections have health officials playing defense in every way. >> we haven't lost control of it. this is a formidable outbreak. it is unprecedented, the likes of which we have not seen in well over 100 years. >> reporter: as predicted, the surge is not hitting everyone equally. >> if you are unvaccinated, you are ten times more likely to be a case and 20 times more likely to be a fatality. >> we're still getting the data, but what we're hearing from hospitals really across the nation, and this is very consistent, is that the vast majority of the children who are being admitted are unvaccinated. >> reporter: so many people are being affected, many states are reporting near-record highs. maryland hospital officials are calling for a limited emergency declaration. in new york city, the fire department has so many out sick, they are reminding people to call 911 only in true emergencies. and everywhere, the drum beat for more testing is growing louder, especially with schools reopening next week. >> testing, testing, testing, testing, all the time. so this is what i think we have to do, and you're seeing this in new york. you're seeing this in d.c. you're seeing this in as many places as we can. >> reporter: test shortages have the federal government scrambling to sign a new contract next week for a half billion free tests, which will start going out to the public in january. in the meantime, two new reports indicate a booster shot of the johnson & johnson vaccine significantly lowers the risk of severe illness from the omicron variant, and health officialed are pleading no matter which vaccine you choose, get your first shot, your second, then get boosted too. >> that's where, you know, so many of us are echoing, go ahead and make sure that you get vaccinated, if you haven't gotten your first or second dose, and getting your booster dose, that's really what's going to protect you right now. >> reporter: and now, the cdc has issued its highest warning yet for cruise ship travel, at least recently, basically saying even if you are vaccinated, cruise ships are simply not a safe place for you to be in terms of the current variant and the current surge out there. they have been investigating dozens of ships where there have been outbreaks, thousands of cases. it is indeed turning into a very difficult winter out here. >> understandable. o okay, tom, foreman, thank you very much. let's bring in dr. william shaffer. doctor, great to have you. the fda, we just learned, is expected to approve boosters for kids aged 12 to 15 very soon. when will those kids actually be able to get a shot? >> well, they'll likely be able to get a shot, alisyn, six months after their second dose that's currently the booster recommendation when you got an mrna vaccine if you were an adult and i would anticipate it would be entirely similar for children. >> but meaning, like, the boost, they will be able to get it next week? can it move that quickly? >> well, i would hope that the company is ready to start delivering the vaccine to the locations and get the word out to pediatricians and family doctors that they can do this if the children in their practice are eligible. but let's get back to ground one. there are so many children yet who are five years of age and older who haven't received their first dose yet. that's where the really big push has got to be. >> we have those numbers. let me just pull up a graphic to prove that point, doctor, for a second, because right now, only 51.2% of the children who are eligible have gotten the vaccine, and so do you think that the boosters will follow that same pattern? >> well, i'm afraid that's the case. i know for sure that the proportion of children vaccinated is less than that in my state because we're a state where there are a lot of hesitant vaccinators, and so, i think across the country, we're going to have to continue to push. all of my pediatrician colleagues are in this, i'm sure, pushing to get the kids in their practices vaccinated. >> i mean, and it sounds like that's the answer, that the relationship that you have with your pediatrician goes further than something that, say, you know, the biden administration is pleading with you to do, at least that's what we've been told by doctors. but i want to just pull up here, doctor, the numbers, because they're so stunning right now. right now, we are seeing more than 300,000 new cases per day, and if you compare that to one year ago, which was another huge spike, we all remember, the cases back then were 182,000, roughly. now, if there's any good news, it's that the deaths are down from last year, thanks to the vaccines, but still, we're at 1,500 deaths a day. i mean, that's still a staggering number. last year, a year ago this time, it was 2,400 deaths per day, so what do you think, dr. shaffner, is going to happen in the next couple weeks? with those case numbers going to go higher or are we close to the peak? >> i think this omicron strain, which is responsible for so many of those cases, is going to continue to spread and make more and more cases over the next four to six weeks. after all, we've gotten together for the holidays, traveled, and provided environments for this virus to spread. now, that said, behind that will come increases in hospitalizations, and those hospitalizations, whether adult or pediatric, continue to be in prominently unvaccinated persons. so, we want to get our unvaccinated friends and neighbors in to get their first doses just as soon as possible. that will blunt what's happening regarding hospitalizations. and then, in addition, i'm sorry, i have to bring up yet another nasty respiratory virus, influenza, it's beginning to get active all over the country, and we'll see influenza and covid both driving people into the hospital. so, we're in for a rough few weeks in the beginning of 2022. >> i want to tell you about something interesting that michigan is doing. so, michigan, the department of health there, has decided not to go by the cdc's new guidance in terms of the isolation time, so as you know, the cdc had shortened it from ten days of isolation if you got a positive test to five. michigan says they're not ready to do that. in fact, they say they're going to wait to review the supporting evidence. are they being too cautious? >> well, they're being very cautious, and if they can persuade their population to do that, good for them. but we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and the cdc is trying to do what's best for the most people that actually works. it's based on science, but remember, public policy has to be accepted and work. and that's what the cdc was trying to do, get a science-based policy that would be accepted by the majority of people in the united states. substantially reduce the risk of transmission, not to zero, but remember, don't let perfection get in the way of doing what you can do very well now. >> so, dr. schaffner, the picture that you have laid out for the next few weeks is bleak when you combine obviously omicron and the flu, so all of us had just gotten used to going back into the mall and going back to restaurants and going back to work and going back to the gym. should we be adjusting our behavior over the next few weeks? >> i would suggest people particularly who are older, underlying -- who have underlying illnesses, people who are immunocompromised, those people are at greater risk of severe disease. yes. rent a movie rather than going to the movie. adjust your behavior. be meticulous in wearing your mask when you're outside, and don't let anybody in the house who's not vaccinated. >> dr. william schaffner, always great to talk to you. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. okay, so, in the next hour, president biden and russian president vladimir putin are set to hold a phone call. this one was requested by vladimir putin, so what does he want?

>> well, listen, senior officials have told us that president biden intends to make the choice that vladimir putin faces very clear and put it really in stark relief, and that is to say, on the one hand, there is this diplomatic path here that the u.s. is prepared to engage in, meaningful diplomacy are the words that a senior administration official used yesterday, and that begins, of course, or continues, rather, with those bilateral talks set for january 10th between u.s. and russian officials. the other path is one that president biden intends to reiterate to vladimir putin, something that he told him earlier this month when they had that video conference, and that is to say that russia will face severe, devastating, in president biden's words, economic consequences if indeed he decides to move forward with an invasion of ukraine. in addition to that, he will also face stepped-up u.s. military support for u.s. allies at russia's doorstep, including an increased stepped-up nato presence at russia's borders. so, that is essentially how president biden intends to approach this conversation. at the same time, u.s. officials are under no illusion that there will be any kind of meaningful, democratic concrete progress coming from this call but certainly it's an opportunity for the president to reiterate all that and set the table for those talks, those bilateral talks, set to begin the week of january 10th. >> okay, so, nic, as we said, it was president putin who called for this call, so what do we think he wants? >> he wants to keep the pressure on president biden. he wants president biden to drive a decision at nato. he wants that decision to be to -- for nato not to admit ukraine to membership, to keep nato troops and military hardware out of ukraine to roll back nato from the borders. he thinks that president biden and the united states is the vehicle to do that. he could be trying to also drive a deeper wedge and divisions that already exist in nato and the transatlantaic alliance. he may perceive president biden's missteps as an opportunity to widen some gaps in the thinking that have happened across the transatlantic alliance, but i think this is all about pressure. putin brought the conditions to bear to have these conversations. he built up the troops on the border with ukraine. he called for the conversations. he had that first telephone call. he's put the demands to president biden. he wants this phone call today. and we also understand he's going to have military exercises in belarus where a joint military exercises with belarus military. last time they did that a few months ago, that was 200,000 troops. he is not about to back off on the pressure, those joint military exercises are scheduled to take place in february and march, so these -- this conversation, the negotiations that start in geneva on january 10th, putin is planning way ahead of that. there's so much pressure that he is going to continue to bring to bear to get an outcome that he find satisfactory. >> so, barbara, we're looking at some of these aerial shots, i believe, of the border and we reported there were more v surveillance flights so does the pentagon get any sense as to whether or not there's been a de-escalation at the ukraine border? >> well, if there is, the pentagon is not publicly saying this. the russians, you know, earlier, had claimed that they had pulled back some 10,000 troops. the u.s. has not publicly verified any of it, and it was just two days after that that the first of that joint, an e-8-b aircraft flew over the region but there was another flight of the same type of aircraft earlier today just hours before the biden-putin phone call, so why is this so interesting? the russians know we're there. they know the u.s. is conducted surveillance flights, watching what they're doing. the u.s. knows the russians know. but putin has put on the table that he does not want any nato, u.s., or allied military capability anywhere near his border. and now, just hours before the two leaders have their phone call, we have evidence that the u.s. has again flown a military asset across eastern ukraine, not, of course, crossing the border into russia, staying on the ukraine side, but putting u.s. military capability right up against that border, which putin says he can not tolerate. alisyn? >> we'll be watching to see what the white house puts out after this phone call. jeremy diamond, barbara starr, nic robertson, thank you very much. well, former president donald trump wants the supreme court to look at a "washington post" interview. we'll tell you why. and new unemployment claims are staying at their lowest levels in more than 50 years, so what this means about the state of the economy. feel stuck with credit card debt?

>> the technology allows me to do it in a way that i can compete with even the dirtiest user of slave labor. you want to be a customer of a slave labor company? i don't. >> reporter: and you couldn't do it 30 years ago. >> you could never have done this 30 years ago because the technology didn't exist. the most important thing that you need to see is this. >> reporter: he's a former cable news anchor and now ceo of the u.s. medical glove company, committed to paying workers at least $25 per hour plus healthcare coverage and plans for free on-site child care. there are currently about 100 of them now assembling new lines in ovens using all-american made parts. >> and that is a critical distinction between this company and others. >> reporter: the start-up housed in a sprawling former caterpillar factory is backed by a $63 million advance purchase order from the u.s. government. all told, washington is spending $1.7 billion to help american companies manufacture ppe at home. after the pandemic exposed how dependent the u.s. is on foreign sources, which is a vulnerability in public health emergencies. another american start-up, usa gloves, outside houston, was created by former importers who found it almost impossible to buy gloves from abroad. they don't have any government investment yet, but once the machines are finally up and running next month, they hope to turn a profit from private sales. even with higher prices than asian brands. >> hospitals and clinics and even end users are willing to pay that slight premium so that, you know, we're prepared for future pandemic. >> reporter: it's still early days but experts say it is essential for the u.s. to make more of its ppe at home. the question is. >> whether people will remember this and be willing to pay that premium in the medium term or is this just a very short-term memory and soon people will go back to thinking about, who's my lowest cost supplier? >> reporter: that may ultimately be what determines the success or failure, whether they're expensive experiments or the beginning of a new era that reduces america's dependence on factories on the other side of the world. now at a time like this, of course, no one is complaining about government investment in domestic ppe production, but no one that we interviewed for this story thinks that that is a viable long-term solution either. instead, the medical supply chain expert you heard from at the end of the story says that the government should be negotiating better trade deals to ensure that wages and standards in places like china, malaysia, and thailand are comparable to american wages and standards so that u.s. producers can actually compete on a level playing field, alisyn. >> really interesting inside look, scott, thank you so much. all right, well, the number of americans filing claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, pulling the four-week moving average to its lowest level since 1969. president biden weighed in on twitter, saying, quote, last year at this time, there were 823,000 americans filing new jobless claims each week. this last week, that number was less than 200,000. that's historic progress. cnn's matt egan joins me now to go over the numbers. tell us about these numbers and are you seeing things already being affected by the omicron surge? >> reporter: well, alisyn, no, the latest numbers suggest that omicron is not messing with this historic jobs boom and the numbers also really suggest that despite covid and high inflation, the economy is ending the year in pretty good shape. as you mentioned, jobless claims dipping, they're holding near this 52-year low that was set earlier this month. simply put, workers are in high demand and companies are not letting go of the workers that they have, and as you mentioned, if four-week moving average, which smooths out some of the volatility that we see week to week, that is actually down to the lowest level since october of 1969 when -- back when richard nixon was in the white house. this is a slam dunk positive for the economy and another positive right now is what we're seeing in the stock market. they typically call the last few days of the year the santa claus rally because markets tend to do pretty well, and we're seeing that play out again, you know, all three major markets that are up double-digit percentages on the year. the s&p 500 is up by 28% this year. it has hit 70 record highs so far. today, if the gains hold, would be 71 and everyone wants to know whether or not this will continue. we shouldn't expect the market to go straight up forever. that's just not likely. two big challenges that the market has to contend with, of course, one being covid, what happens next, how much disruption, what does that do to the economy, and then, the federal reserve. the fed is taking away the punch bowl that has been juicing the stock market and alisyn, that is going to be a challenge for the market in the months ahead. >> speaking of punch bowl, matt, i've been reading an alarming story. is there a dangerous shortage of champagne this year? >> reporter: well, alisyn, this is the year of shortages, right? we've seen shortages of everything from lumber and paint and chlorine and new cars and used cars to, yes, champagne. at least high-end brands. we are seeing signs that those supplies are running low, which is obviously a concern heading into new year's eve. three big factors there. one, demand is really strong. two, there's been less of a grape harvest, so that has impacted things, and three, the supply chain issues that we have been talking about for months and that have impacted the supply of so many items, yes, that is also impacting champagne, so alisyn, it is a fitting way to end the year that we were talking about yesterday one more shortage. >> luckily i'm cool with cheap champagne, despite the headache. so, matt, thank you very much for the update on all of that. all right, so attorneys for former president trump have submitted a new filing asking the supreme court to read t"the washington post". throughout history i've observed markets shaped by the intentional and unforeseeable. for investors who can navigate this landscape, leveraging gold, a strategic and sustainable asset... the path is gilded with the potential for rich returns. what does it feel like to sell your car to carvana?

>> reporter: well, they want the justices to read this interview because they think this shows that this committee is engaged in a law enforcement investigation, not an investigation with a legislative purpose. here's the quote that they think is key to us. this is from the "washington post." thompson added, i can assure you, if a criminal referral would be warranted, there would be no reluctance on the part of the committee to do that. so, trump attorneys read this. here is how they're utilizing that quote for their argument. they say, to the supreme court justices, the committee cannot make a mockery of congress's constitutional mandate that its requests in investigation be supported by a valid legislative purpose. it cannot embark on what is essentially a law enforcement investigation with the excuse that it might legislate based on information it turns up in the course of the exploration. alisyn, i think it's worth noting here that his attorneys have made a pretty similar argument up until this point. they have made something similar at the district court level as well as to the circuit court, and basically, what they've argued here is that the committee has not articulated a legislative purpose, and so this is all, in some way, illegitimate. but the reality is, judges don't buy that. i mean, in the very first hearing where they tried to put forth that argument, a judge really pressured the attorneys in which she was trying to make sense of it and basically saying, so, you have to have a law drafted before you embark on the investigation? doesn't that defy logic? that's not verbatim but that was the gist of what she was saying, and what we've seen now, alisyn, is two times, his legal team has tried to put this argument forth and two times, judges have just not bought into it. so, the degree that the justices are swayed by a "washington post" article, i guess we'll have to see. but this is a case we are very closely watching because the reality is, it did go to the supreme court, and it has major implications for what will happen next for the committee. >> absolutely. thanks for explaining all of that, whitney wild. okay, joining us now, on this and more, is former u.s. attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general harry litman. great to see you. let's just skip to the end result of this house committee could be. so, it's, i mean, you believe, and you have a great new op-ed in the "l.a. times" today, that there could be a criminal referral at the end of all of this. from the committee. and i just want to ask you about that, because obviously, we all know that president trump was shamefully silent on january 6th as people were being killed and police officers were being maimed, but what evidence have you seen that there could be a criminal referral? >> well, it's been out of the committee's mouth itself, and -- including chair thompson, and then just all the facts that we know as we try to put them together. but the big point, whitney is dead on, alisyn. it's perfectly fine. it's no news, and with respect to the "washington post," this is really not hot news, and to the supreme court, they read "the washington post." they could make a criminal referral, that's part and parcel of what they do. what trump needs to argue is there's zero legislative purpose, and as whitney says, that's been rejected roundly. so, i don't think that's going anywhere. and it's probably been done for pr purposes. >> yeah, but i mean -- >> to answer your immediate question -- >> i'm talking about the nitty-gritty. what makes you think that he wasn't just an accidental bystander? >> oh, well, because of the -- what he needs to be to be guilty is to encourage them in their mission and to then, you know, because when he's standing by, he's already whipped them up into a frenzy, sent them to -- into battle for him, and somebody who's done that, if it's a mistake, and he actually just meant a peaceful protest, would not be standing by for over three hours while all his closest allies are saying, you must stop this, you must stop this, you must stop this. he's needling kevin mccarthy. there's an air of jubilation to what's happening, and that would figure in a criminal case. >> so, do you think that's where the committee is headed? >> my best guess is, yes. based on what liz cheney has said, thompson has said, and just the evidence. big, big, big difference between that and whether the department of justice will go there. that's going to be a royal headache for merrick garland, but the committee, i think, is really flexing its muscles and showing it's not afraid to go to the upper echelon of things that has to include trump and if the evidence is, and we already saw all the texts to meadows and the like that seemed to be ginning it up, trying to put pressure on pence, if that's where the evidence is, a referral would, i think, be very much in line with what they've done to date, and it's easy enough for them to do the referral, right, alisyn? then it gets dumped on to the lap of doj, and it becomes merrick garland's problem and not a small one. >> yeah. >> but i think that's the noises they're making. >> okay, that leads me to my next question. wasn't it interesting, harry, to hear these two trump-appointed attorneys on tuesday reject the arguments of the capitol rioters who were saying, we're the same as the people who rioted in portland in the summer of 2020, and the judges said, that is a complete false equivalency. in portland, the rioters who vandalized a federal building, it happened at night and there were no congressmen and vice president inside trying to make a free and fair election certified. they weren't interrupting democracy. so, they rejected that. but one of the attorneys, i think, interestingly, did point out that there should have been harsher prosecution for the portland rioters. i'll read you what this judge, trevor mcfadden said. "rarely has the government shown so little interest in vigorously prosecuting those who attack federal officers especially those during moments of political unrest. the justice department must strive for even handed justice. judd raises troubling questions about this department's adherence to this imperative in portland." i'm just interested. it's not the same as portland at all but why weren't they prosecuted more severely? >> with all respect to judge mcfadden, he's mistaken. i've been involved in some of these big demonstrations going on in federal buildings, there's a big round-up and what do you do with them? it is not unusual for many of them to be referred to state or just released after the whole commotion has passed, and january 6th is a singular event, which is why the other judge, trump judge also, in d.c., said, don't try to sell me that analogy. so, i actually think there's nothing unusual when the government gets its hands around these sprawling kinds of demonstrations that as they parcel out justice, many people wind up walking. you'll see that in the run of big kind of demonstration cases. portland was pretty -- it got close to violent. it's a very serious one. but it's not a big surprise that that's what happened here. >> i mean, i do think that actually, police officers were injured. i think that -- in other words, i think it crossed the line. >> definitely. >> for violence. >> but all those people, alisyn, are being prosecuted. anyone who was involved in actually injuring the officers, that is where they're drawing the line. >> okay, that's really helpful. harry litman, thank you. great to see you. happy new year. >> thank you, alisyn. happy new year. all right, we do have some chilling new details that are emerging about this man who went on a shooting spree in denver. so, there's a series of books written by the gunman that have foreshadowed this attack. we have more next. our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ ♪ worker's comp can crush a small business. every year it would jump 5, 10, 15, 20 percent - even though there was never any claims. and that's where i was struggling as a growing business. i'm very happy that i moved over to pie for my worker's comp. from start to finish, it was extremely easy. they quickly came back to me with a plan that was affordable for me so that i could grow my company while not breaking the bank. ask your agent, or get a quote at easyaspie.com.
