Out if elected officials wont do it themselves. If state and local policies do not reflect the seriousness, all Public Health officials must alert the state population. 2600 americans dead yesterday. That is the secondhighest, but there is good news on the horizon. The head of operation warp speed says 100 million americans may be vaccinated by february. The uk just became the first nation in the west to approve the Pfizer Vaccine. The fda is expected to take up possible approval of the Pfizer Vaccine in the United States at a meeting next week. The head of the governments operation warp speed says once approved the vaccine will be available within 48 hours to Healthcare Workers and to people in assisted living facilities. Our sarah murray is joining us now. Sarah, this is a huge undertaking. Talk to us about whast challengchallenge s are. This is a very big undertaking and its all moving quickly. The Fda Advisory Committee will concern the first vaccine on december 10th, and the hope is that it could be shipping as soon as december 15th. Of course, that is pending that fda authorization. On the 17th theyre going to consider this Moderna Vaccine in the hope is those will start shipping out on december 22nd. The gold of operation warp speed is to try to get these vaccines shipped out one 48 hours of the authorization, but from there its up to the states to get the vaccine into peoples arms. We already know from a lot of states, yes, they are going to prioritize Healthcare Workers, thats what the Advisory Committee is recommendings, but a lot of states wont even get enough doses to do all their First Healthcare workers in their first tranche. If youre a Healthcare Worker dealing day in and day out with covid19 patients, you probably will be at the front of the line. The government has taken a 10,000foot view helping to get cold storage and dry ice, but a lot of this is up to states to make sure that all of these Healthcare Workers and eventually all these longterm care facilities residents are getting vaccinated. States, brianna, are already say they need more federal assistance to do this. One of the big concerns is Healthcare Workers will come in for the first and second doses, but when youre dealing with Everyday Americans making sure they come back for the second time around, that is a big challenge. This has all been moving at a breakneck pace. Its still not moving fast enough for President Trump. You see the hed of the fda summoninged back to the white house today to speak with chief of staff mark meadows. The president is not happy to see the headlines did that the uk is the first out of the gate. Im sure hes not. Thank you, sara. I want to bring in dr. Sanjay gupta to talk about this. I just want to get your reaction to this estimate from dr. Redfield we may have had 450,000 deaths in the u. S. By february. Its hard to even get the words out of my mouth on this, brianna. It sort of looks like the situation thats sort of shaping up in terms of the number of deaths per se. If you look at they projections carefully, looking back at november 19th, they say that, you know, the numbers will continue to increase and then plateau at just a remarkably high death rate for several weeks. So thats where thats coming from. I should point out, when you look at these models, and we study these carefully, brianna, they sort of make a lot of assumptions. They make assumptions that many states will maintain mandates for the time being, but if there are states that ease the mandates, the numbers get worse and get worse rick quickly. This is the worstcase scenario, and up typically dont give that, but in march it could be 650,000. Its so striking, because thats the same number of people who died in the United States during the 1918 flu pandemic. The population is obviously a lot bigger now, but we have hospitals, icus, vaccines, things like that, therapeutics, and yet maybe we dont do better than 100 years ago just because of human behavior. So many thoughts go through my head, brianna, but those are some of them. I think thats why its so hard so say the number, sanjay, because it didnt have to be that way. Thats the tragedy you feel just saying that number. On this vaccine news, and of course the vaccine it cant get here soon enough, were but this uk approval, dodds this as putting more pressure on the fda here in the u. S. . You know, i think that thats certainly going to be part of the discussion. You cant disentangle anything from i think theres a couple things to keep in mind. The fact that the uk regulatory body did this is a good thing. We had only seen data from the Company Really so far. We didnt have reason to not believe it, but its nice that a Regulatory Authority has said there were no red flags. It matches up with what the company says, which is essential what you uk is saying. We also get a look at how they distribute some of the stuff that sara was talking about. Likely were going to see the same approval next week in the United States. Well see if that happens. I should point out it doesnt make a difference in terms of where the difference goes. Doses have been prepurchased, sometimes even prepositioned in these places. Regardless of the earlier approval, it shouldnt accept the availability versus elsewhe elsewhere. The cdc just changed its recommendation on how long people should quarantine with how long theyve been exposed to someone. Its now 7 to 10 days, and they made this change in the hopes that more people would actually comply if the burden is great. Do you agree with the decision, do you agree with the rationale . Yeah, i really do. In fact, brianna, this is something weve been reporting on for some time. While 14 is sort of the longer end, the average incubation from time of exposure to the time someone would test positive is actually closer to five days. To say i think its reasonable bat based on the science to quantity tee t it does mant sense, so it fits the science, and much more in line. Sanjay, thank you so much. Such Important News to talk about today, and im so glad you could come on to talk with us about it. As the position continues his attack on the legitimacy of the u. S. Election, he is reportedly considering multiple pardons for those close to him, including some of the bearing the trump name. Cnn has learned trump is considering pardons for his three eldest children, his soninlaw and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. John dean is a cnn contributor, the former white House Counsel for the nixon administration, and the author of authoritarian nightmare. John. What do you think is going on here . What do you think the end game may be . Is he looking for some type of retaliation from a Biden Justice department . Is he trying to inoculate people from what they already have done . Its hard to know for sure, but what has rum abled is hes protecting his kids from some retaliation from the biden administration. Thats how he thinking. That he would attack the family of somebody, which is quite surprising, and quite likely. I think, too, if he does grant a pardon to his children, what he ought to do is really take hunter biden and pardon him as well, since he was the target of that campaign. Youre trying to make a case theres some apples to apples on are something in . It eliminates the argument hes doing it just for his family and wouldnt think its a wise policy for any president , so he just takes it off the table for his hi competitor in the last race. I suspect you dont see that really happening, though . I dont see that. So i wonder what you think look, if the shoe were on the other foot here, if we were talking about a democratic president , a barack obama trying to preempttively how do you think conservatives week responding . I think they would go crazy. I think they would absolutely impeach him on that move alone, even at the end. You know, a president who leaves office is still subject to impeachment if hes eligible for run for further office. Trump theoretically could be impeached for his behavior on the way out. Same requirements, the house of simple majority, the senate is three quarters, which takes a lot, 66 votes. So its not likely to happen in the senate, but it can send a message. Anyway, i cant imagine that the conservatives would let obama get away with a similar move, and we would never hear the end of it. No, you can know that, even as a hypothetical. So, john, federal Court Reports have revealed that the doj is investigating a potential related to funneling money or related Political Committee a related Political Committee in exchange for a political pardon. The partially redacted specifically states this, quote, a bribery conspiracy scheme would offer a substantial political contribution in exchange for a president ial pardon or reprieve for sentence using as intermediaries to deliver the proposed bribe. What is your reaction to this . Well, this is an investigation thats in progress. When you read the full paper, what that document is, its a ruling by the judge that theres no attorneyclient privilege on information that seized in a by a search warrant in a raid. They got over two terabytes of digital material from i phones, from i pads, thumb drives, hard drives, so there was massive material. What they call a filter group at the department of justice, discovered these potential attorneyclient privileged materials, and went to court to try to get that resolved. Which they did. The court found there was no attorneyclient privilege. The court also said i would like this information released asap, and gave them 30 days to come back. Justice didnt come back with any kind of real substantive response, and the judge sent them back again, and said give me something about whats going on. Thats the document that was released, which is still not very much information. John, thank you. Its always wonderful to have you on. Thank you, brianna. John dean with us today.

A second recount will finish up today, but the secretary of state says theres been no substantial changes in the votes so far. President trump has accused georgia and its leaders of voter fraud, with absolutely nothing to back his claims up, yet his works still have an impact. Election workers have received threats of death and violence. Gabriel sterling, who we note is a republican, has had enough. Its all gone too far. All of it. Joe genova asked for chris k krebs, and a 20yearold election workers had a noose hung outside. It has to stop. Mr. President , you have not condemned these actions or this language. Senators, you have not condemned this language or these actions. This has to stop. We need you to step up and if youre going to take a position of leadership, show some. My boss has had people doing car aadvance, people have come on their reports. His wife is getting sexualized threats through her cell phone. Had has to stop. This is election, this is the backbone of democracy, all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this. I cant begin to explain the level of anger i have over this. Every american, every georgian, republican and democrat alike, should have the same level of anger. Mr. President , it looks like you likely lost the state of georgia. Were investigating, theres always a possibility, i get it. You have the rights to go through the courts. What you dont have the ability to do, and you need to step up and say this, stop people from inspiring potential violence. Someone will get hurt. Someone will get shot. Someone will get killed. If you want to run for reelection in four years, fine. Do it. But everything were seeing now, theres not a path. Be the bigger man here, step in, tell your supporters, dont be violent. Dont intimidate. All of that is wrong. Its unamerican. Now, in response to sterlings impassioned statement, the Trump Campaign said it fully condemns any threat or violence. Amara walker is in georgias assistant coal in atlanta, following everything there. That was something to hear gab ilsterling say that, and it came at this hour, the secretary of state launched i site for reporting results of the recount there. Reporter some of the counties were supposed to be posting the recount at 2 00 this afternoon. We have not seen any updated numbers just yet. But the secretary of state has been saying this for weeks now. They do not expect any substantial changes in the results of the president ial election here in georgia. Thats exactly what theyre seeing 110 of 159 counties that have finished have not reported any major discrepancies. All things considered, it looks like theyre on track to meet the deadline of midnight tonight and for the secretary of state to certify the results by friday. Brianna, i do want to mention, i had an extensive sitdown with the secretary of state here yesterday at the capitol. Its evident. Its been a very challenging someti time for him. He now has 24 hours, 7 days a week security at home and at work as a result of as a direct result of President Trump spreading misleading claims of widespread voter fraud in georgia, for which there is absolutely no evidence. Also morning. He began his News Conference sake he throws his full support behind Gabriel Sterling after the impassioned News Conference yesterday. He said its time for Republican Leaders to speak the truth and for President Trump to accept the fast he has lost georgia. Well get an update at 3 30 once again from the secretary of states office, and we will pass along any new information. Theyre clearly worried about the physical 15i69 of themselves and their families. Amara, thank you. President trumps anger isnt confined to georgia, of course. He has lashed out at the governor of arizona for certifying president elect bidens wen there. Claiming that doug doucey betrayed the people. Katy hobbes also signed off on the election results. I know that youve heard these emotional comments out of the georgia, that mere hearing from Gabriel Sterling. Is that something that resonates w
