it is truly a milestone moment for america. at this very moment the first rounds of shipments of the authorized pfizer/biontech covid-19 vaccine are now on the road to hospitals across the country in a months long process to vaccinate more than 300 million americans. the largest inoculation effort that the world has ever seen. nearly 3 million doses of that vaccine are expected to be distributed this week. and as many as 40 million doses could be distributed by the end of the year. d-day was the beginning of the end and that s where we are today. while this moment is extraordinary in time and i m proud to be here announcing where we are with distribution, we have a lot of work to do. we are not taking a victory lap. we know that the road ahead of us will be tough. we know that situations will occur, but we will figure it out together. this symbol of hope couldn t come soon enough as the united states experienced the deadliest week in this pandemic, averaging 200,000 in
eric swalwell who has used his office to promote beijing s talking points word for word. a man who admits to a close personal relationship with an actual chinese spy who helped him get elected to congress. raised money for him and put an intern probably another spy in his office. that man continues to serve on the house intelligence committee where he is unrestricted access to classified information. how is this happening? trace: let s bring in former utah congressman jason chaffetz. good to see you this morning. thanks for coming on. i want to get your take. the axios report says this woman christine fang didn t pass on classified information. the report says private but unclassified information about government officials such as their habits, preferences, schedules, social networks and even rumors about them is a form of political intelligence. collecting such information is a key part of what foreign intelligence agencies do. what do you make of all this? it s a very
tru trump s baseless conspiracy theories about voting fraud have devolved into an exercise into delegitimizing the election. chris krebs, the cyber security chief donald trump fired for accurately declaring the 2020 election secured. here he is with our own katy tur begging his party to take a stand. what we re seeing is a coordinated effort to intimidate republicans from speaking up and accepting the outcome. i spoke up. i defended the constitution, i put country over party and i suffered the kwoconsequences, you ll still suffering the consequences on a daily, hourly basis. i d do it over again, though. i don t know why others aren t. i suspect based on my experience in part they are, you know, they don t want to be put in this position but there s also the political implications and political suicide as i ve heard some say by coming to speak up. it s just time to get past this. this has to stop. everyone republicans need to stand up for the country. some of the dang
