A stunning phone call where President Trump is heard pressuring officials to overturn the election that he lost. Cbs news has obtained audio of the president asking georgias republican secretary of state, mr. Raffensberger, to, quote, find thousands of votes that he would need to win. Of course, its only the latest in a monthslong effort to pekeep power against the wil of the american people. Ben tracy is at the white house. Some democrats and legal experts say this could be criminal behavior. What exactly did the president say on that call . Reporter in this remarkable phone call, the president does vaguely threaten the state Election Officials, implying they could be prosecuted for not doing what he wants. And President Trump says he wants georgia to address his claims ahead of the runoff elections there tomorrow. Theres nothing wrong with saying that, you know, that youve recalculated. Well, mr. President , the challenge that you have is the data that you have is wrong. Reporter in a stunning phone call this weekend, first obtained by the washington post, President Trump pressures georgias republican secretary of state Brad Raffensberger to find enough votes to overturn president elect joe bidens win. Biden has received 16. Reporter ending the states 16 electoral votes to him instead. So, look, all i want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes. So tell me, brad, what are we going to do . We won the election and its not fair to take it away from us like this. And its going to be very costly in many ways. And i think you have to say that youre going to reexamine it. We have to stand by our numbers. We believe our numbers are right. Reporter georgia has now counted their ballots three times. Declaring mr. Biden the winner each time. The Trump Campaign has failed to prove any of their allegations in court and there is no credible evidence of fraud. On the phone call, the president continued to make allegations that have been debunked. Mr. President , the problem you have with social media, people can say anything. No, this isnt social media. This is trump media. Reporter President Trump baselessly accused raffensberger of a coverup and threatened he and his general counsel may be in jeopardy.

Reporter some republicans are concerned the president s claims of fraud in georgia will undermine faith in tuesdays runoff elections potentially costing his own Party Control of the u. S. Senate. Vice president elect Kamala Harris campaigned for democrats in the state sunday and sharply criticized President Trump. It was a bald, bald bold abuse of power by the president of the United States. Reporter with concerns that President Trump may try to remain in office after january 20th, all ten former living secretaries of defense, including the two that served in the Trump Administration, wrote an oped saying efforts to involve the u. S. Armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory. Now today President Trump, Vice President mike pence and president elect joe biden will all campaign in georgia. Anthony . Ben, thank you. The president s actions are splitting the Republican Party on capitol hill. At least a dozen gop senators are vowing to challenge president elect bidens win on wednesday citing baseless conspiracy theorys about the election. As nancy cordes reports, other republicans say the move is dangerous for democracy. This is so obviously beyond the pale, is probably not even the way to describe it. Reporter republican Adam Kinzinger joined legions of democrats sunday condemning the president s call to georgias secretary of state. Its fundamentally an effort to overthrow the government of the United States. Reporter the controversy did not appear to deter the Dozen Senate Republicans and many more in the house who plan to contest the Electoral College results in a joint session of congress on wednesday. Weve seen in the last two months unprecedented allegations of voter fraud. Reporter texas senator ted cruz is now leading the push for an emergency tenday audit of election returns from six states citing public mistrust in the results. But its mistrust senators themselves have stoked with baseless claims of fraud. There is voter fraud. We had one witness talk about 42,000 people voting twice in nevada. The other issue just because you had somebody say it doesnt make it true. Reporter on sunday as members of congress were sworn in, some republicans tried in vain to talk their colleagues out of the plan. Nebraskas ben sasse. This is bad for the country and bad for the party. Reporter maines susan collins. Its time for us to move on. Reporter wyomings liz cheney, the third ranking house republican, argued the move would set an exceptionally dangerous precedent. But Vice President mike pence blessed the effort sunday. He will preside over wednesdays joint session which could last all day. Were going to spend a lot of quality time together on wednesday. Ill be there. Ill be there, sir. Okay. Well get through it. Reporter in the midst of all of this, californias nancy pelosi narrowly won her bid for reelection as speaker of the house in what could be her last term in the house. And this was a nailbiter because the House Majority in the is now razor thin for democrats after novembers election. She needed 214 votes. There were some defections from democrats but she managed to pull together 216 votes. Gayle . Thats right. In the end, she was holding up the gavel. Chief washington correspondent Major Garrett joins us. Good morning to you, and happy new year. Always good to see you, major. Where to begin. Lets start with that phone call. Its another jawdropping moment from the president. But you know, i think he likes these jawdropping moments. But what is the end game here . Gayle, the end game is patently and dangerously obvious. The president wants to exert whatever fleeting power and pressure he still has within the confines of the white house. In any direction he can apply it to change the outcome of this election. That is clear. The president s motives are clear. He wants to stay in power. And he wants to use whatever tools he can find, whether its suggesting criminal prosecution of secretaries of state like Brad Raffensberger who wont do what he tells him to do, find me a precise number of votes to overturn the election in one swing state or meeting with state legislatures from michigan or trying to talk to the people in pennsylvania to overturn the election that he lost. The president cannot cope with the fact that he lost this election. Whether or not he believes he won it or not is immaterial. That belief does not comport with reality but hes abusing and using power to overturn something he cant cope with. Right. The constitution doesnt create space for that in our republic. And republicans who watch this and stand idly by will be participating in the weakening of that republic and the constitution that protects us from these kinds of abuses or attempted abuses of power. That leads me to the next question. I get it, major. I know what the motives are but the numbers simply arent there. Thats why i wonder why he keeps continuing to try to do this. Its baseless. Its been proven wrong time and time again, yet he continues. Lets talk about the republicans. Kudos to Brad Raffensberger who seemed to factcheck the president in realtime when he was on the phone call. He did not bend. But what are the republicans saying about this . We have some going along with the president , but there are many others that just say this is not right. What happens . I said on this program about two weeks ago that if this continued, you could be watching the pulling apart, the breaking up of the Republican Party as this country has come to know it. I believe that process is only accelerated in the last four days. Republicans have a choice to make. Do they believe in the constitution . Do they believe in federalism . Federalism means states run the election as the constitution stipulates, and do you believe in facts . And do you believe in verifiable elections conducted with the most transparency ever, which is what this election was . Or do you believe in the personification of a Republican Party under one person and one person only, donald trump. Do you believe in grievance . Do you believe in conspiracy theories . Do you believe in baseless allegations that cannot stand up in court . If you do, then you are part of that new Republican Party. And its dividing before our very eyes. And how do you think its going to affect the race in georgia, major . The president is going there tonight. So is joe biden. On one hand he says its fraudulent, that theres corruption. On the other hand hes say hey, everybody, vote. Right. Everyone go out and vote because everything is at stake except this election is corrupt in the beginning. The mixed message there is so clear and so obvious and so contorted. Ive talked to many republicans who were down there. Theyre nervous about the outxhf this election. They still think theres a net favorite republicans could eke these out but they know what the president has deprived them of. A clear, concise message. Reelect the republicans, be a check on joe biden. President trump hasnt allowed that to happen. Major, weve got to go, but does the president face any legal consequences because he was clearly putting pressure and clearly, it seemed, to be abusing his power. Its close, but probably not just because its a hard case to prove in court. All right, Major Garrett, thank you very much. The new year is not slowing down. The unprecedented spread of coronavirus. The death toll in the u. S. Passed 350,000 over the weekend after the deadliest month so far. Covid19 took the lives of more than 77,000 people in america in december alone. This morning, britain began giving out the new Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine, but it is not likely to be available here for weeks. And the pace of vaccinations in the u. S. Is lagging far behind demand. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is at a hospital in alhambra, california, just east of los angeles. Good morning. Good morning. Welcome back from vacation. Were at alhambra because the l. A. Times reported they were using the waiting room because they were out of bed space. I want you to hear from the director who said this. Because of the toll this is taking on the staff, he said its a fullon category 10. Its like world war ii, he said. Its not the volume of patients. Its the intensity and the sickness of those patients. Attention, to help stop the spread of covid19 reporter los angeles, tampa, portland, scenes of packed airports across the country. Exactly what Health Officials were desperate to avoid. Its terrible. Its unfortunate, but it was predictable that we were going to see the number of cases that were seeing now. My concern is that it could get worse over the next couple of weeks. Reporter packed new years eve celebrations like this one in new york city also have authorities concerned. In los angeles, which is under lockdown, Police Officers raided at least six illegal parties on thursday night that they called potential superspreader events. Meanwhile, the situation at some l. A. County hospitals has grown so dire the u. S. Army corps of engineers was scald in to help with oxygen shortages. These buildings and facilities were not designed to have 100 icu for people on oxygen. Reporter on a separate note, the countrys vaccine rollout is struggling to keep up. In both texas and florida, seniors waited in line for hours to get their shots. Its been a long wait. They should have been better prepared. While in tennessee, some people waited overnight only to be turned away. According to the cdc, more than 13 million doses have been distributed in the u. S. But only 4. 2 million have actually been injected into people. Both fall short of the federal governments goal of 20 million by the end of december. Moncef slaoui, the head of operation warp speed says its up to the states, not the federal government, to effectively distribute doses. I dont think we are able to identify exactly which longterm care facility or which cvs store should be getting more vaccine or less vaccine. That has to be done with people that have granular knowledge of their population. Reporter tell that to the mayor of los angeles where a new covid case is reported every six seconds. He blames washington for the lack of coordination. Washington went on vacations while they didnt pass a relief bill for seven or eight months. We could have been training out of work folks and students to be ready. We knew that the surge was coming in the winter. Reporter the head of operation warp speed is floating an idea that could stretch the vaccine doses that they have. Apparently theyve been in talks with the fda and drug company moderna. They are looking at taking the vaccines they have and halving them, giving half doses to people ages 18 to 55. Apparently theres data showing that half doses trigger an identical immune response full doses. If they give people half doses moving forward, that would give more doses for more americans. Well see if that pans out p. David, thank you. Breaking news this morning on Julian Assange, the wikileaks founder accused of revealing u. S. Classified information. Elizabeth palmer is in london where a judge has just ruled in his case. Elizabeth, what can you tell us . Good morning. Yes, well, the verdict was a surprise. It prompted a huge cheer among assanges supporters outside the central criminal court. The judges verdict says that Julian Assange will not be extradited to the United States to stand trial on Mental Health grounds. She says that hes depressed, hes despairing and that conditions in u. S. Jails, which she described as oppressive, could make him a serious suicide risk. If extradited, he would have faced 18 counts, one of computer hacking and 17 espionage charges. All relate to classified documents he published on the wikileaks website relating to the afghan and iraq wars, along with thousands of confidential diplomatic cables. Although she did block his extradition, the judge rejected his defense. Essentially which hinged on the fact that he maintained he was protected by freedom of speech laws. Theoretically if he was found guilty, he could have faced more than 100 years in jail. In spite of that verdict, though, assange did not walk out of court a free man. Instead, he was remanded straight back into custody because the u. S. Legal Team Announced they are going to apply they are going to appeal, probably as soon as this week. So this case is far from over. Gayle . All right, Elizabeth Palmer reporting from london, thank you.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. And an exclusive thcbs news investigation reveals many doctors who cause their patients harm are not facing discipline offenders. According to national stiatistis less than 2 of doctors account for more than half of all malpractice payments. Meaning a small number of physicians are responsible for a big problem. For our yearlong investigation shot just before the pandemic, jim axelrod went to indiana to examine what many in the field told us. State medical boards are protecting doctors instead of patients. Id never seen that much activity in a room after a surgery. Something medically just wasnt right. Reporter jeremy payne is describing spinal surgery. His 46yearold mother regina bruce had in 2008, after shed been rearended in a sccar accident. At the same hospital his father in to a spinal procedure. Telling us the surge hadnt a problem. During the surgery he got sick. Reporter who got sick . The doctor. Reporter were you looking at each other, what its going on were like, yes. Are you serious . Reporter both operations contacted by an Orthopedic Surgeon and the surgeries left jeremy paynes mother with her left leg paralyzed and his father with nerve damage. Proceeded probably to have seven more surgeries trying to correct the nerve damage. Reporter what is your feeling as your mom and your dad arent quite right after surgery . Youre secondguessing whats just happened. Reporter thomas cox and regina bruce both reached medical malpractice settlements with the doctor and neither fully recovered. Both turned to opioids to manage pain and later died. The pretty bad people can get away with what they have in these situations. Reporter people . Doctors. Reporter doctors are licensed by state medical boards. Panels made up almost entirely of fellow physicians. We spoke with more than 100 malpractice lawyers spread out over all 50 states, and heard the same thing over and over. Medical boards do a good job weeding out doctors who have broken the law, but when it comes to malpractice, when doctors injures their patients, medical boards often look the other day. We dug through stated and Court Records and found the doctor lost his surgical privileges at to indiana hospitals after his practice fell below the standard of care and concerns raised about his honesty and truthfulnesses. He lied about losing privileges to the indiana medical board. Then there are the malpractice suits. The doctor settled five suits over more than a decade. Most of any Orthopedic Surgeon in indiana in the last 20 years. I dont know if youre aware of this or not. Had no idea. Reporter are there dangerous doctors practicing in easy in indiana . Absolutely. Reporter tina bell is an attorney in indianapolis. Involved in cases against the doctor but agreements in court keep her from discussing him. We have almost, like, this cloud of secrecy around the medical profession. Reporter is it possible to get into trouble and still maintain your license . Absolutely. Reporter bell worked both sides of the street. She spend more than a decade representing doctors and hospitals before moving to patients as a malpractice attorney. Reporter is the medical board protecting patients or protecting doctors . I would say protecting doctors. Reporter youre telling me a doctor can make a mistake three, four, five times and it doesnt affect their license . Those are the doctors that worry me, and those are not the doctors that im seeing getting reprimands from the medical licensing board. So there is a gap where theyre falling through the cracks somehow here in indiana. Reporter we wrote to the doctor asking for an interview but never heard back. Producer for cbs news. Reporter our producer found him where hes practicing. In florida. I have no comment. Reporter you had a discipline action in florida about operating on a wrong hip that we saw . No. Thats not true. Reporter thats not true . No. I have to go. I dont know what you just said. Reporter we got our information from the department of health where records show that since relocating to florida, the doctor has been sanctioned three times, including for operating on a patients right hip instead of his left. His penalty a fine of 7,500. As you might imagine, we had a bunch of questions for the indiana medical board. After declining our request for an interview, we caught up with the doctor who serves as the chairman maof that board. Youll want to see that tomorrow morning. We look forwar to seeing that. A great piece. Advice for people who want to check out their own doctor before a surgery to know if there are problems . Actually one of the central points we get into tomorrow morning. How difficult that actually is. All right. Looking forward to that. Jim, thank you. Very wellplayed, jim, when the doctor says i dont know where you got your information.

Talking the talk. New cohost Amanda Kloots on her exciting new gig. First todays eye opener at 8 00. A stunning phone call where President Trump is heard pressuring officials to overturn the election that he lost. The president does vaguely threaten the state Election Officials implying they could be prosecuted for not doing what he want. What is the end game here . The president wants to exert whatever fleeting power and pressure he hill has within the confines of the white house cano change the outcome of this election.

Listen 2021, big change supply felt it too. I feel its going to be a good year. Thats what i feel. Point taken. See, were glad to be here with you people out there watching us this moment. Well begin with this. Some democrats are calling for a criminal investigation after a new phone call involving President Trump. Cbs news has obtained a recording of the call in which the president repeatedly urged georgias secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to help overturn joe bidens win in the state. Keep in mind this call went on for over an hour. The president asked raffensperger to, quote, find the votes he would need to win georgia. All i want to do is this, i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. So what are we going to do . I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, i need 11,000 votes. Give me a break. You know, we have that in spades already. During the call raffensperger factchecks the president and says thes results are correct but mr. Trump falsely claims raffensperger is somehow breaking the law by not helping him. You know what they did and youre not reporting it. Thats a criminal thats a criminal offense and, you know, you cant let that happen. Thats a big risk to you and to ryan, your lawyer. Thats a big risk. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud or of systemic errors in georgias election, some republicans in Congress Plan to object to bidens win when its set to be ratified wednesday. Meanwhile the u. S. Set another record for coronavirus cases over the weekend topping 20 million overall and the rollout of the new vaccine is not keeping up with the need for them. People waited in line for hours at this site in texas to get shots and other people were camping out overnight in florida after some say they were turned away because of the limited supply. Health care providers remain overwhelmed by the pandemic. So far only 4. 2 million americans have been vaccinated according to the cdc. Keep in mind far short. The Trump Administrations original goal of vaccinating 20 million americans by the end of december. The u. S. Surgeon general vice admiral jerome adams joins us now a member of the White House Coronavirus task force. Dr. Adams, thank you so much for being with us. Good morning. As you heard tony just say the Trump Administration said that 20 Million People would be vaccinated by the end of 2020. We are at about 4. 2 Million People. Why is this taking so long . Well, lets be clear here. What weve consistently said is that we would have 20 million doses available and operation warp speed has delivered on that. I want to level with people. Were three weeks into the largest Vaccination Program in United States history and any Public Health official you talk to, i ran a Health Department but ask tony fauci, we had a conversation about this. When you look at h1n1 under a Different Administration we knew this was going to take time to increase. And were seeing it rapidly increase and 72 hours before the previous report, you had 1. 5 million vaccine doses that were reported in three days so that means 500,000 a day. We are ramping up and its important for the mrna people to understand that because they have sacrificed so much. They need hope. I want people to understand that less than a year after sequencing this virus, we have 15 million to 20 million doses of vaccine available and we should be we should be hopeful about that while acknowledging that weve got to do better and were going to keep doing better and i promise you, youll see in the next two weeks these numbers increase substantially. You look at israel which is a much smaller country but 10 of israel is already vaccinated and 40 of people over the age of 60 so im wondering, the states are suggesting its a federal problem. The Trump Administration suggested its a state problem. Where do you see it lying . The. Answer is yes, i ran a state Health Department. A lot of the authority lies at the state level. You need federal support. You need state participation and you also have to take into account Vaccine Hesitancy and had governor dewine say 60 of the nursing home workers in his state wouldnt get a vaccine so weve got to work on all of these things and we really are working on all of these things together. Youve got to understand that some states are using all their vaccine, other states havent even used 25 of their vaccine thats on the ground so what were doing at a concrete manner is looking jurisdiction by jurisdiction from a federal perspective and will start moving them around so they can be appropriately utilized. You also talked in your teaser about other things were looking at like potentially having the dose. Well let the science lead the way. Well make sure were getting as much vaccine to as many people as possible and getting it into arm. So do you see a potential solution in delaying the second dose as some people are suggesting or even having the first dose or do you think science eliminates that as a possibility . Well, i think again we need to let science the lead the way. Tony fauci said he doesnt think its appropriate to eliminate the second dose or push it back at this point but looking at having the dose and, again, in we double the number of doses but still not uptick its not going to make a difference so have to deal with uptick and hesitancy in the quarters where that matters and increase avaluability in the places that will matter and were working on that and see that happen today. We have a governors call where well talk to the governors and always said tell us what you need and we will give it to you and when you actually question governors directly very few will tell you that they arent getting what they need when they ask. Many of them call me and ive responded immediately and pick up my phone 24 hours a day. I know youve spoken out about the hesitancy in the black community and Minority Community about taking the vaccine and now a survey shows a third of essential Health Care Workers also have hesitancy about taking the vaccine so how do you plan to address this . What do people need to know again about this vaccine . Gaeyle, hidden within what yu said is the fact that the Health Care Workers least likely to take it are Health Care Workers of color who are harder hit by this virus and so were continuing to acknowledge that the concerns that they have based on tuskegee and real harms that have happened in the past and harms happening right now in this country. When you look at indiana at the black doctor who unfortunately passed away due to covid19, these things are happening now. We acknowledge them and have to answer peoples questions honestly and npr had a great story about a chair key woman hesitant to get the vaccine. She asked her question. She got them answered and in a passionate and meaningful way and decided to get the vaccine and then were engaging with trusted influencers and talked to one of your friends, miss Oprah Winfrey about what we could do and she mentioned that tyler perry will help promote vaccine confidence, that she wanted to work with me to help promote it. We want people who have influence in communities to use that influence and get people the facts they need so they can make an informed choice. Oh, okay. You talked to oprah. I couldnt reach her on the phone. I she was busy talking to the Surgeon General. I see. I know your wife has been hospitalized for her issues with cancer and prevented you from seeing her because of covid restrictions. How is she doing and whats your message to people who have to take these precautions because you couldnt see your own wife . Shes stable now. Shes back at home getting treated as an outpatient so were very grateful for that but the message i want people to take home is that even if you arent worried about getting covid and a lot arent because youre 00 times more likely to know someone who recovered from it than to know someone whos died from it. But people need to be concerned regardless because cases turn into hospitalizations and it means that i cant visit my wife in the hospital. It means that if you have someone getting in a car wreck who you know they may not have a bed in the hospital for you and this has implications beyond covid so, please, wear a mask, wash your hands and watch your distance, get your vaccine when you can. Surgeon general jerome adams, thank you so much for being with us this morning. Thank you. Happy new year. You too.

A new annual report released this morning reveals the top global risks for 2021. Every year the group, a Political Risk research and Consulting Firm ranks the top ten geoPolitical Risks we are likely to face in the new year. The report says, lets go in reverse order. Third greatest risk is climate change. Second is the longterm effects of the coronavirus pandemic. And it says that the greatest risk is Political Polarization right here in america and the way it could affect joe bidens presidency. Ian bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group and joins us now. Ian, good morning to you. Theserisks you point out in the report, based and size and likelihood of them happening. Typically focused towards businesses and governments. Boil it down to pev day american lives. I begin there. You say joe bidens presidency will be a asterisk presidency. First of its kind. What do you mean . Like arod or roger clemens, barry bonds, put an asterisk over it, oh, that record doesnt count. Almost half the country will see joe biden as not a legitimate president. This is playing out right now with, i mean, not just President Trump but youve got ted cruz and majority of republican elected officials in the senate and the house that are saying that theyre going to vote against the will of the people, the will of the electors in the United States. Thats unprecedented. This is a time when you really need the u. S. Government to be functioning well, because we have this massive crisis. You have a need for the government to legislate, to respond, to deal with the needs of the average american. The countrys not been this politically divided in our lifetimes. Its not been this economically unequal. That really, given the size of the u. S. Economy globally, its impossible not to have that as risk number one this year. You say in the report, the most powerful also the most divided and unequal country on eth certainly amongst the industrialized democracies. Second year in a row something happening in america occupied the top position, the top risk in the world. What does that say about the trajectory of our country . Well, i started the firm back in 1998. The u. S. Had never been on top before, and thats because historically Political Institutions in the United States were stronger. They were seen as much more legitimate, but when you think about the ability of the americans to stand up for our system, the average american does, indeed, think that the institutions are increasingly rigged against them. That Representative Democracy doesnt work. I would make the argument today that the average chinese believes more in the china dream, because of the expanse of the middle class there, than the average american believes in the american dream. That doesnt mean people want to live in china. Theyd much rather live in the United States but no one around the world says i wish my political system would run like that. That undermines the ability of the United States to provide leadership on trade. O or to lead by example around the United States. Makes a lot more difficult for those of us here. Digging more deeply into the report. Number six, global data reckoning. You mention something there about foreign adversaries getting personal data on americans or people in other countries and then blackmailings can you expand on that . Sure. I mean what we know is that over the course of this last year, the russian government has been involved, been inside of hundreds of institutions, both the u. S. Government as well as private sector, and were grabbing all of that data. We dont know what theyre planning on doing with it, but we know theyre vastly adversarial to the United States, our citizens and our government. Do you think it could result in theres a reason why. Rep grinder . The app allowing men to hook up, in the United States ux in tand Chinese Company was going to buy it and stopped them from National Security purposes. A feeling a lot of people in congress on that app for example. We dont want the Chinese Government having that data. Wow. When the foreign adversary gets private data thats a problem. Right . We dont want that. Also you mention in a seconds on cybersecurity that china has a super computer may make eventually passwords obsolete . Not much time, but that worried me. Well, the fact that quantum computing in ai believe thats potential to get rid of all crypto security, and the fact of the ma th matter, two sr powers in the u. S. The u. S. , china. Not used to have the parity with another big country out there. Its a challenge. People need to be concerned. Ian bremmer, appreciate it. Were worried. Be right back. Youre watching cbs this morning.

So i feel really comfortable sharing. Ive already embarrassed myself. Put some of my secrets out there, somehow they got me to share that i fell asleep during black panther which is insane.
