good morning to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. it is wednesday, january 5th. i'm brianna keilar alongside john berman live in washington, d.c. for our special coverage. one year ago today, outgoing president and right-wing media sold lies that america that would bring us to our darkest days. we will get to that in a moment, including a january 6th committee asking a fox host of president trump's mind leading up to the riot. breaking news overnight. parents waking up in chicago, your kids aren't going to school today because in-person classes, athletic events, all of them are canceled. members of the chicago teachers union, teachers in the third largest district in the country, refusing to return to work until january 18th or whenever the latest coronavirus surge subsides. so this morning no classes until teachers and city leaders resolve their differences. 73% of the teachers in the union voted in favor of this decision in defiance of chicago public schools and the mayor who wanted in-person classes. >> and it goes against what other districts, including the country's largest district in new york city have decided to do. listen to what mayor eric adams told brianna in this deeply revealing interview. . >> we cannot feed into hysteria. this is traumatizing our children. the way adults are responding to covid is having a negative impact on our children. the safest place for children right now is in a school building. that's the safest place for them. >> so you have new york city's mayor saying we can't close the schools. you have teachers in chicago saying we have to. this is a big deal. the union members there deeming the conditions in the classrooms unsafe. the chicago mayor, lori lightfoot, said reverting to online classes was unacceptable and unnecessary. so what's going to happen? in a couple of hours, the chicago teachers union will hold a news conference. will them come to some kind of resolution? what will happen to these tens of thousands of children? we're going to take you live there when it happens. in the meantime, the cdc tweaked guidance for people with covid but it stopped short of advising a test before ending the isolation period. the new guidance does not recommend a rapid test after five days. but if, if you decide to take a test, and it's positive, the cdc says you should isolate for another five days. the recommendations also advise people who are isolating to avoid places where they can't wear a mask, like restaurants and gyms and to wait to travel for 10 days after the onset of symptoms. meanwhile, the virus does rage on. maryland's governor has declared a state of emergency over the crush of cases and deployed the national guard to help relieve pressure on health care workers. let's get to cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. not sure it's much of a guide from the cdc here. what's going on? >> reporter: right. there are still so many questions. my team and i have read this over and over. they still have failed to put out guidance that people can really, really understand. but here are the basics of it. if you have covid-19, you should stay home for at least five days. isolation can end. you can get out of isolation if you're getting better. but if you do choose to do that, you say i'm getting better, i'm getting out of isolation, the cdc said wear a mask around others for five more days. here's the new part. they say if you want to, if you feel like it, if you can find one, go ahead and take an antigen test, also known as a rapid test, around day five. you don't have to. you can if you want to. if positive, you should isolate for the full 10 days rather than just the five days. now, let's talk a little bit about the science why they would let people out after five days, especially if they never take a test. this graph says it all. on the left-hand side, it shows the percent of people who are contagious when symptoms -- at symptom onset. when you start feeling symptoms, you are super contagious. that he wants the high bar there. as the days go by, you are less and less contagious. you see, after day five, the chances you're going to get someone else sick are really quite small. is it possible? yes. but it's quite small. so there are many voices saying since that chance is so small let's just, you know, why are we keeping people at home especially if they're essential workers and their services are so badly needed. john, brianna. >> if the cdc could say that as clearly as you did, it would be helpful. but they haven't yet. i appreciate you giving us the decoder ring. we need to land the plane. i'm very worried about the next 48 hours. for the second time fox tv host sean hannity's test pleading, begging and advising the white house before and around the time of the january 6th riot. in a letter to hannity, the panel reviewed five communications sent by the fox host that they argue show he was aware of former president trump's plans to contest president biden's election victory january 6th and the possible fallout from that. the committee is now asking hannity to voluntarily cooperate. >> he is a fact witness. we have in our possession dozens of texts that he sent to mark meadows and others in his role as a political operative, indications of his communications with the president and others on strategy. and it's that that we would like to talk to him about. >> former vice president mike pence also has the decision to make about cooperating. pence was there as the election results were read out loud, the 2020 presidential election, the electoral college, despite a trump white house pressure campaign against it. now committee chair bennie thompson is calling on pence to voluntarily speak to the panel regarding what he knew about attempts by former president trump and his allies to halt the process. >> let's go to cnn's whitney wild with more on this. tell us about the new developments. >> reporter: right now what we know is the committee has not formally asked former vice president mike pence to come forward. but bennie thompson made really clear they would really like to speak with him. we know this is a formal outreach to sean hannity. they are collapsing in on the trump inner circle. for two reasons, brianna. one of them is about the details going on in the white house in this really critical time on january 6th remain very elusive at this point. and the reality is the committee needs to establish the mind-set of the former president. that is why they are reaching out to the people they think may know it best. the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection now wants to talk to former vice president mike pence and fox news host sean hannity. the chairman of the select committee told cnn he wants pence to voluntarily speak with the panel about what he witnessed one year ago tomorrow and the conversations leading up to that day. >> i would hope that he would do the right thing and come forward and voluntarily talk to the committee. >> reporter: he said he certified the election despite risk of the rioters, who heard from days president trump's pressure campaign on his vp to halt the process. >> his life was at risk. the vice president could not leave the capitol of the united states because of the riot. >> hang mike pence! >> reporter: thompson said the risk to pence's life did not seem to motivate trump to act while the capitol was under attack. >> to take 187 minutes to say the rioters, you need to stop and go home because my vice president is in the building and his life is in danger is an absolute shame. >> reporter: a spokesman for pence declined to comment. the committee also wants to speak with fox news host sean hannity saying he texted with trump, mark meadows and others in the days surrounding january 6th. >> we have so many of these texts and pieces of evidence indicating that he was outside of his role as a press person acting as a political operative. >> reporter: publicly, hannity was saying this ahead of january 6th. >> a big day tomorrow. big crowds apparently showed up to the point where the west wing could hear the music and the chanting of the people that were there already. >> reporter: but privately, hannity sent a message to meadows the night before the insurrection reading, i'm very worried about the next 48 hours. the committee wants to know why hannity was worried and what, if any, prior knowledge he may have had before the capitol riots. >> i want to make sure everyone knows this isn't a subpoena. we've asked him to cooperate with us as a fact witness out of his sense of patriotism. >> reporter: its members also believe the host has detailed knowledge regarding trump's state of mind in the days following the january 6th attack. manti texted meadows and jim jordan about a conversation he had four days after the insurrection. it reads, guys, we have a clear path to land the plane in nine days. he can't mentioned election again, ever. i did not have a good call with him today. and worse, i'm not sure what is left to do or so, and i don't like not knowing if it's truly understood. ideas? this effort to try to talk to former vice president mike pence shows that the committee is working in this aggressive way. but what it also shows is they think that he can provide really critical information about what was going to leading up to january 6th even though he was not in the same place as the from easy in the 187 minutes when the president did nothing. and the reality is, brianna, if they do speak with vice president mike pence, they will have an informed interview, and here's why. we know that key allies of the former vice president have already cooperated with the committee, john and brianna. >> yeah. look, i don't know if i expect mike pence to talk to this committee. that would be quite the get. we will see if it happens. whitney, thank you so much for that report. joining us now, former republican city commissioner of philadelphia al schmidt who defended the results of the election after he faced threats from former president and his allies. and analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. i want to start with you with these texts from sean hannity about what they mean for the investigation. because to me they are revelatory. he said i'm very worried about the next 48 hours, on january 5th. i'm very worried about the next 48 hours, which begs the question, al, why? why would you be worried? so, what does this tell you about the discussions that were taking place and what was going on? >> well, perhaps they're worried because they were participants in all of this leading up to it. on the one hand, they have their foot on the gas pushing lies about the 2020 general election and then as we're finding out now, on the other hand, they are trying to pump the brakes, i guess, to keep things perhaps from going too far. and that going too far is the physical manifestation of all those lies and acts of violence on capitol hill. >> andrew, what do you think? >> i think that's exactly right. the committee's letter lays it out in the first paragraph. it is clear from the text that hannity had advanced knowledge of what's going to happen. it's clear he had concerns about what was going to happen. and it's undeniable he had direct contact with not just the president but with many members of his staff to include his chief of staff and the white house counsel's office. there is no doubt that sean hannity has essential knowledge and information that this committee needs to get to. no question. >> andy, just the idea that hannity was aware that something was going to happen indicates that this wasn't spontaneous, that there was something that was known that was about to happen. and that's key to all of this. >> it was planned. it was being discussed. and people, including the president's lawyers -- i should say the lawyers for the presidency because of course they're not his personal lawyers. the white counsel clearly indicated to hannity they had such concerns about where this was going that they were at least communicating they were considering leaving if the pressure was continuously applied to mike pence. this is like an investigator's dream to see these texts, to have a witness like this made clear to you. you get this information that hannity is a member of the media. these are fact issues. they have nothing to do with his news gathering activity. this is fair game. >> because, al, you might have folks around the president who were saying, you know, we didn't know. we couldn't foresee this was going to happen. clearly, they could, right? sean hannity, who knows what his viewers are thinking, is telling mark meadows, hey, i'm worried. what is he worried about? clearly, he's worried about violence. . >> that's right. and perhaps it's an indication that even in that close circle of people who are pushing and spreading lies about the election that they are realizing that things are going too far and they're jeopardizing themselves. they're obviously supporters of the former president's administration and worried that they're going to throw it all away. >> al, i just want to read one more of these texts here. this is from sean hannity on december 31st. so a week before. we can't lose the entire white house counsel's office. i do not see january 6th happening the way he is being told. after the 6th, he should announce will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. go to florida and watch joe mess up daily. to me the most telling word is the first one. we. we. sean hannity, who works for a television company -- >> that is supposed to be news but is not. >> who is the we here, al? what does that tell you? you spoke to this before about how many people were involved in creating this lie. >> really i think that's a very telling pronoun that's being used there. because it is a whole network of people, no pun intended, engaging in all of this. and it's important at the end of the day that we know as much as we can and that people be held accountable. whether they be held accountable for making threats to election officials across the country or being held accountable for this attack on our greatest symbol of democracy on one of the most sacred days in our democracy, the peaceful transition of power. >> i want to listen now to something that the nevada secretary of state said. this is someone who supports donald trump. let's listen. >> as a coalition of america first secretary of state candidates around the country, we're getting the word that that people are excited that there is somebody doing something behind the scenes to try to fix 2020 like president trump said. >> candidate for nevada secretary of state. let's be clear. this is present day. what concerns does that raise for you? >> especially as a candidate for secretary of state, i think we are going to see in 2022 where we have our first primaries of this nature where election administrators who are elected or appointed are either replaced by people who don't know what they're doing or replaced by people who are going to actively seek to undermine confidence in the very elections that they themselves are responsible for running. >> it really is remarkable to see. al, just very last question. a year later, what does it feel like to be here a year later? you left your job. you had that job for 10 years. did you ever think you would be in that position today? >> i feel like we're in the roughly 400th day of the 2020 presidential election day. there is still obviously a lot of questions that we still have to have answered and a lot of people who need to be held accountable. >> al schmidt, we appreciate the work you have done and the bravery you have always really displayed to the world. andrew mccabe, we always appreciate you and your insight. thank you so much. >> thank you. so, this morning, are the vaccinated carrying the burden really of the unvaccinated? the debate on whether we should stop going to great lengths for those who refuse to get the shot. plus, tomorrow marks one year since the january 6th insurrection. but did the rioters learn anything? we have that report ahead. and 16 hours and counting until the next drawing. have you bought your powerball ticket? a lot up for grabs tonight to win. >> you're not going to win. >> i might. it's worth it. ing on?

professor arthur calf hand at nyu school of medicine. those of us who have been vaccinated and boosted and everything else, why should we keep making sacrifices when we keep being told the vast majority of people hospitalized now with covid are the unvaccinated? >> hey, john. thanks for having me. so, look, first, we've got to get the ethical ground back on the side of people doing the right thing, that praise them, that acknowledge they're doing the right thing. when i hear people saying our first of all, is autonomy, liberty, i don't want to get vaxed, i don't want to help the weak or vulnerable, one of the important things we can do is shift the moral ground, start praising people who do the right thing. not saying, well, there is a tradeoff of values. some people will help their neighbor orient toward the community, try to protect one another and then there are going to be jerks who aren't going to do that. let's get the equation straight. people may be thinking, so what? what difference does it make where we put the moral emphasis? it makes a lot of difference. shame, guilt, calling people out, i don't see moral equivalency if you're not getting vaccinated, by trying to take precautions when you're around the weak and the vulnerable. i think about antonio brown, the football player who you may remember, john, stripped off his uniform and left in the middle of a game recently. you don't think of him as a hero. his teammates thought of him as a morally obtuse idiot. that's what the people who won't take precautions. that's what the unmasked are causing to happen. they're leaving the team in the middle of the fight for our lives in the middle of a pandemic. that's preliminary. and then i will just add quickly, i think you've got to then say we're going to make life easier for those who vaccinate and tougher for those who won't do it. more rewards, more freedom, more ability to go to social events, athletic events. why we continue to say, well, you vaccinate, you don't vaccinate, it's up to you if you want to come to this game. that's not the right stance. >> again, i get the idea of creating a moral standard here and really judging, being willing to judge and say things out loud. the question is, and i also get protecting the vulnerable. kids under 5 can't get vaccinated. people who are older with medical conditions even if they are vulnerable. i get acting in ways that make their lives safer. by and large if you're vaccinated and boosted, even if you get in investigated, you're going to be fine. the unvaccinated will be hurt. why should anyone who is boosted bother at this point to do anything that makes the unvaccinated more safe? >> well, look, i want us to act as a community. i want us to act as a team. when you're fighting a war, you need all hands on deck. i don't want to reject those who still haven't done the right thing. i'll condemn them. i'll shame them. i'm blame them. but i don't want to exclude them. they've got to come around. we can't win this war. we're going to be talking about covid this time next year if we don't get more people to do the right thing. so we can't write them off. we can penalize them more, say you will have to pay more on your hospital bill. you can't get life insurance, disability insurance at affordable rates if you aren't vaccinated. those companies should not treat us as equals on the financial burdens that that disease imposes. i can think of a number of ways in which we can say here's the stick, get on board. at the same time, we do need everyone. it's a war. you've got to have all your troops unified if we're ever going to win it. >> yeah. still by and large the unvaccinated who aren't wearing masks, who aren't social distancing, unvaccinated going to crowded indoor events there. so there is a bizarre irony the ones who are behaving are being told to behave 10 times more so. professor caplan, always a pleasure to have you on. thank you very much. >> thanks, john. some rioters have showed no remorse while others do have regrets. we will take at the lessons learned, or in some cases, not learned. the fbi conducted more than 900 interviews, combed through 39,000 videos, and that was just for the d.c. pipe bomber. where that search stands now. >> such a good question. >> it really is. the livingng room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash... and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slash vacation home. find yours on the vrbo app. it's my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes, without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within two hours. unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks cgrp protein, believed to be a cause of migraine. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. ask about ubrelvy. the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. ♪ got my hair ♪ ♪ got my head ♪ ♪ got my brains ♪ ♪ got my ears ♪ ♪ got my heart ♪ ♪ got my soul ♪ ♪ got my mouth ♪ ♪ i got life ♪ nurse mariyam sabo knows a moment this pure... ...demands a lotion this pure. new gold bond pure moisture lotion. 24-hour hydration. no parabens, dyes, or fragrances. gold bond. champion your skin. new vicks vapostick. strong soothing vapors... help comfort your loved ones. for chest, neck, and back. it goes on clear. no mess just soothing comfort. try new vicks vapostick. don't like surprises?

>> reporter: he describes his last year as an emotional train wreck. i don't think i did anything wrong. >> reporter: prosecutors laid out an array of video evidence against him. he can be seen confronting capitol police officers after walking through the shattered front doors. pruitt is caught smashing a sign. all of it leading to eight federal charges against him, including counts for destruction of government property and acts of physical violence. but pruitt defends his action that day, clinging to the big lie that former president trump continues to spread and saying he has no plans to plead guilty. >> i was just a patriot out there, you know, protesting against some -- what i think is a stolen election. trying to send me to prison for a few years over this i think is a complete joke. >> reporter: are you concerned that you could be sent to prison? >> i am concerned. >> reporter: 70 plus defendants have been sentenced so far. about 30 getting jail time. >> the first week in january i have to report to prison. >> reporter: jenna ryan flew a private jet to washington and boasted storming the capitol was one of the best days of her life. her lack of remorse prompted a judge to impose a 60-day sentence after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor. the judge said he wanted to make an example of her after she shamelessly tweeted she wouldn't get jail time because she has blonde hair, white skin and did nothing wrong. >> people are wondering what is going to happen to them. and prison can happen. >> reporter: several of those sentenced are expressing remorse. eric row pled guilty to one count of disorderly conduct. federal judge admonished him for trying to undermine the peaceful transfer of presidential power, one of the country's bedrock acts. he struggled to speak at sentencing telling the judge, there is no excuse for my actions january 6th. i can't tell you how much this has twisted my stomach every day since it happened. another rioter, robert reader, got three months in jail. during his sentencing, he pleaded with the judge saying he lost his family, his job and his place within his church community after january 6th. i am embarrassed. i am in shame, reader said. the hurt that i have caused other people, not just to myself, has left a permanent stain on me. society, the country, and i don't want to be ever remember for being part of that crowd. josh pruitt, though, still isn't willing to admit guilt or cooperate with prosecutors. video of pruitt pledging to become a member of the proud boys in november 2020 went viral. pruitt says prosecutors are asking him to help make the case against other proud boys facing conspiracy charges. but he claims he no longer associates with the extremist group. >> i don't have anybody to throw under the bus, nor would i anyway. and i just -- what i'm saying doesn't fit their narrative. because they would like me to come forward and say that it was planned. and i'm like, no, it wasn't. everybody thinks that people had all these plans to go in -- no, they didn't. not to my knowledge. i was in touch with some pretty right-wing people. and we never heard anything about that. >> reporter: while pruitt waits out his next court date, he spends most of his days inside his nashville apartment wearing an ankle bracelet and abiding by a 9:00 p.m. curfew, except when he's working as bartender, which is approved by court. he still stands by the big lie. >> i still believe it. >> reporter: and pruitt isn't the only one. i actually spoke with several accused rioters on the phone. all declined to talk on camera. they cited ongoing cases or desire to step back from the public glare. the handful i spoke with told me they still believe the election was stolen. some said it was pro-trump supporters who stormed the capitol building january 6th. they falsely told me members of antifa were also involved. the fbi is still trying to identify 350 people who committed violent attacks on the capitol ground. still a lot of the investigation still left. brianna and john. >> really fascinating report. thank you for that. >> lies upon lies all this time, all this time later. >> and they are being fertilized. he fertilized the flag. all right. pardon my french but french president macron has a new covid strategy, piss them off. >> how do you say that in in french?
