1:00 am
last administration and the former president, these people felt more emboldened to come out and to reveal themselves. i think that certainly the pentagon has some responsibility to make absolutely sure that they're watching for these things, and i think that's what speaking of the secretary as lieutenant colonel in 1995, he oversaw operations for the 82nd airborne when there was a racially motivated double murder involving members of that unit. during his confirmation hearing austin discussed what he learned from that incident and signaled it would inform his approach. i want you to watch this and then we'll discuss. >> if leadership is not in touch with the people they're leading, these kinds of things can happen. and i don't think that this is a thing that you can put a band aid on and fix and leave alone, i think that training needs to go on routinely because things
1:01 am
ch change. the types of things you're looking for change. >> is austin the right person to handle rooting out extremism for the military? >> he absolutely is. secretary austin is someone who because of that experience and because he came up through the ranks and served as an officer, first african-american secretary of defense, he does have a unique understanding of the challenges that we face here. i think there's some very specific things that he needs to do and i think he understands that. i think he understands that he needs to be more intrusive. we need to be more intrusive into the lives of our service members. i think he understands we need to be absolutely sure we are using the uniform code of military to prosecute people on active duty who engage in these activities. and i think he gets we need to fully understand the full nature of the problem. 's important to point out the
1:02 am
vast people in the military are not interested in this. they want to do the right thing. secretary austin gets that. he focuses on this problem and make sure we don't disparage all of our military. >> we're out of time. i appreciate it. thanks for watching, don. our coverage continues. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world, you are watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, a raucous day in washington as stalwart republican liz cheney survives an ouster attempt from her own party for voting to impeach president trump last month while at the same time house republicans give conspiracy theorists marjorie taylor greene a pass. latest details on that.
1:03 am
he says he'll push ahead with or without bipartisan support. treasury secretary janet yellen wants answers as she calls a meeting with regulators to discuss last week's reddit driven gamestop frenzy . good to have you with us. a floor vote later today in the u.s. house of representatives is expected to remove freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from her committee assignments. greene has become a flashpoint for democrats because of her violent, far right rhetoric and wild conspiracy theories prior to the election. republicans met behind closed doors but declined to penalize her.
1:04 am
house minority leader kevin mccarthy described why they gave greene a pass. >> i denounce all of those comments. she came inside our conference and denounced them as well. she said she was wrong. she has reached out in other ways and forms and nothing that she said has been based upon since she's been a member of congress. the voters -- the voters -- no, the voters decided she could come and serve. >> congresswoman liz cheney, on the other hand, got an earful from some of her fellow republicans. they are furious she voted to impeach donald trump, but in a secret ballot she easily survived a move to take away her leadership role. here is what she said afterwards. >> we real dli have a terrific vote tonight, terrific time this evening laying out what we're going to do going forward as well as making clear that we're
1:05 am
not going to be divided. >> but some trump loyalists see it differently. listen to congressman matt gates who has already traveled to cheney's home state of wyoming to drum up support against her in the next mid-term elections. >> so tonight the republicans decided to keep liz cheney. tomorrow the democrats will boot marjorie taylor greene from her committees. i think both decisions reinforce the power of washington, and it only encourages me to try to go out in america and get people focused on the changes we need to make in both parties so that the voters are respected. >> and for more on the turmoil within the republican party, here's cnn's ryan nobles on capitol hill. >> reporter: it took four hours, but the house republican conference on capitol hill has ironed out at least some of their issues. they voted overwhelmingly to keep liz cheney as the third ranking member of the house
1:06 am
leadership. now this was an important vote and it tracks back to the impeachment vote where cheney joined 9 other house republicans in voting to impeach former president trump. the former president still enjoys a lot of support from house republicans. many were angry that cheney took that vote and they demanded for her to be removed from her post that. led to this meeting which got heated at times where many members yelled and angrily complained but when the ballots were cast and they were all cast secretly, cheney ended upholding on to her post comfortably, a vote margin of 145-60-1 that voted present. that wasn't the only problem house republicans were dealing with. they're dealing with freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. they're calling for her to be removed from the house education committee and budget committee. the republicans tried to bridge
1:07 am
a compromise. house minority leader kevin mccarthy could not strike a deal with steny hoyer so democrats are going to move forward. as a result, republicans plan to do nothing to hold greene accountable for her actions. that vote will take place on the house floor on thursday. it is likely that even though she will have republican support, that there will be enough democratic votes to remove greene from those committees. ryan nobles, cnn on capitol hill. well, the investigation into the deadly siege on the u.s. capitol continues to turn up evidence of pre-planning well ahead of the january 6th riot. conspiracy charges have been filed against niklas ox and nicholas decarlos, members of the far right group of trump supporters known as the proud boys. a federal indictment alleges they both planned and fund raised with the intention of blocking the electoral vote
1:08 am
certification in congress, and they are accused of scratching the words murder the media into a prominent door in the capitol. almost a dozen members of the proud boys have been charged so far in the insurrection. five people died as a result of the violence. one of them capitol police officer brian sicknick was laid to rest at arlington cemetery on wednesday. he his remains had laid at rest inside the capitol rotunda. president biden and the first lady paid their respects. president biden has been reaching out to congressional republicans hoping to get bipartisan support for a $1.9 trillion covid relief package, but republicans have shown little interest. they are offering to support much less. so democrats are preparing to get it done without them. cnn's kaitlyn collins explains. >> an hour and a half with the
1:09 am
president -- -- it was senate democrats turn. >> this is your home. >> reporter: after president biden met with republicans in those seats two days ago, he sounded hopeful about getting some of them on board with the coronavirus relief package even as democrats move forward without them. no congressional republicans have signed on to biden's plan so far, and utah senator mitt romney said it's unlikely any republicans will support the plan if changes aren't made. >> if it goes forward without any changes from what was originally proposed, i would predict not a single republican will support the $1.9 trillion plan. >> reporter: the president told house republicans he won't slash the $1.9 trillion price tag anywhere near the 618 billion that republicans have suggested. >> i'm not going to start my administration by breaking a promise to the american people.
1:10 am
>> reporter: biden said he won't scale back the $1400 stimulus checks but he said he was open to targeting them further. >> can't walk away from an additional $1400 in direct checks because people need it and, frankly, they've been promised it. i think we can better target the number. i'm okay with that. >> reporter: noting the slim majorities democrats have in congress, biden encouraged democrats to remain united. >> let's stick together. >> reporter: democrats are sticking together as white hous aides are knocking down complaints. >> the president seemed to be more interested than his staff did. >> absolutely not. i've seen some of those reports. many of them are ludicrous. there is no one who's going to tell him what to do or hold him back from his commitment. >> reporter: and on wednesday the house passed that first step that's going to pave the way for
1:11 am
democrats to be able to pass this bill without any republican support. it's passed in the house. now it's going to be passed in the senate. we expect them to take it on thursday of this week. kaitlyn collins, cnn, the white house. more than 450,000 americans have died from covid-19 according to johns hopkins university, and a new forecast from the centers for disease control and prevention projects that number could triez 534,000 by the end of the month even though almost 34 million vaccine doses have been administered. dr. anthony fauci says the u.s. isn't moving fast enough. a new study suggests the astrazeneca vaccine may reduce transmission of the virus, but having another vaccine available to the u.s. may not improve
1:12 am
things as a new monmouth poll finds 1 in 4 americans say they will avoid getting a covid vaccine if possible. cnn's nick watt has the latest on the coronavirus in the u.s. >> we are at war with this virus. >> reporter: but is this country vaccinating fast enough to keep ahead of the spread of coronavirus variants? >> we're not because the situation is we still have a demand that far exceeds the supply. >> reporter: before a return to normalcy dr. fauci says at least 70% of the u.s. populations must be fully vaccinated. right now that number is under 2%. do covid-19 vaccines also reduce the risk you could still harbor the virus and spread it to others? early data suggests the oxford astrazeneca vaccine does just that, reduces the risk of
1:13 am
transmission. >> which is a stunning discovery if that's true. >> reporter: this vaccine not yet authorized in the u.s. >> i haven't seen data yet. that's not yet been peer reviewed. i have every reason to believe the britts. >> reporter: the cdc now predicts another 85,000 americans might die before the end of the month. the big fear? those more contagious variants. >> plan on the assumption that there are a lot more cases of these variants than we know about. >> reporter: why? because only these six states have genetically sequenced more than 1% of their cases and that's how you find variants. >> based on contact tracing of recent variant cases, not wearing masks and participating in in-person social gatherings have contributed to the variant spread. >> reporter: vaccination and mitigation efforts should focus on the 20 to 49 age group say
1:14 am
researchers who found younger adults are the biggest spreader of the virus so planning a big indoor super bowl party this weekend? maybe don't. >> as difficult as that is, at least this time around just lay low and cool it. >> reporter: big brewing issue here in the u.s., when will most kids get back to school? the cdc made one thing abundantly clear, she said it is not a prerequisite. we do not need to vaccinate all teachers before kits can safely go back to school. she said there is increasing evidence to support that. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. and i spoke earlier to infectious disease expert ravena kular and i asked her about vaccination skepticism and how would she deal with it.
1:15 am
>> i think it's first of all going to have to be us health care workers being the individuals which are getting vaccinated first. what you're seeing is many public, which are vaccine hesitant, as well as many health care workers that are. so if us health care workers serve as a good example to the public showing they were safe. there were rigorous trials being done but that's the power of science. the scientists, they worked from day and night really wanting to get these vaccines approved, getting the trials done. it's in having trust in these manufacturers and showing that these are efficacious. these are safe vaccines that people should take. despite some skepticism in the u.s., confidence in vaccines
1:16 am
is actually rising in other parts of the world. we will look at where vaccine shots will most likely be administered. thm. feel the power. beat the symptoms fast.

i didn't realize how special it would be for me to discover all of these things that i found through ancestry. i discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. you see this scanned-in, handwritten document. the most striking detail is her age. she was only 17. knowing that she saw this thing happening and was brave enough to get involved and do something— that was eye opening. bring your family history to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com
1:20 am
welcome back, everyone. we did mention earlier about 1/4 of americans surveyed want to avoid getting the covid vaccine. still, public trust in other countries is rising. 54% of people in 15 countries now say they would get a shot if one were offered to them. that's up from 41% back in november. the survey found that respondents from the u.k. were the most willing to get a dose. so far more than 10 million people in the u.k. have received their first vaccination and now the government is launching a study to determine if vaccine recipients can safely mix and match different types of doses. after some early global
1:21 am
skepticism, a doctor said russia's sputnik vaccine has more than 91% effective at preventing covid-19 infections. >> they absolutely met the same standards in terms of the quality of the trial and the reliability of the data. i would say there's one caveat and that is around the safety data. at the moment we don't have the full safety data for the russian vaccine. they're still in the process of collecting that. what we do know is there are no serious adverse events from this vaccine, but we don't know enough about the minor and moderate adverse effects.
1:22 am
with that one pro adviso, i thi it should get approval. >> more than 15 countries have approved use of the russian vaccine, which has already been given to more than 2 million people around the world. and cnn's melissa bell joins us now live from paris. good to see you, melissa. talk to us about vaccination efforts across europe because there had been a lot of problems in the early stages. how's it looking now? >> reporter: that's right. a lot of problems in simply getting vaccine supplies to the european member states. of course that remains the case. what we know is in the wake of the rau with astrazeneca where we saw temperatures rise between the european union and the pharma group. although astrazeneca promised more doses, the e.u. is looking to diversify the supply.
1:23 am
this is because in some parts of europe vaccination campaigns have had to grind to a halt. that's extremely worrying, of course, for europeans. we know that the european medicine agency is looking at other vaccines, johnson & johnson are being considered by the european medicine agency. we understand the sputnik vaccine makers have said it is under production but there is no formal process of whether they will allow the marketing of the sputnik vaccine here in europe. very keen, officials of the european union, to get their hands on the extra vaccine unit but also to make sure they're moving as quickly as they can to approve the other vaccines given the vaccine shortages. all the more so that we know a number of countries, belgium, france and germany have seen
1:24 am
that they said in fact for them there was not sufficient evidence to recommend its marketing within those countries. france, germany and belgium for people over 65. so another thorn in the side of european rleaders trying to get their population vaccinated. >> melissa bell joining us live from paris. many thanks. to wall street now where things are finally starting to get back to normal after a week of chaotic reddit inspired turbulence. now janet yellen is asking regulators to take control this week. for more, let's turn now to cnn's john defterios. he joins us live from abu dhabi. a lot of attention focusing on this meeting which could take place as early as today. how risky could it be to try to
1:25 am
regulate day trading? >> reporter: it is unchartered territory, if you will, rosemary. financial regulators are trying to keep pace with big tech if you will. a month ago we never would have had this conversation with reddit or the wall street bets or robinhood as a trading platform. it's all new. it's getting the ire of the regulators and putting it under the magnifying glass looking at a couple of things here. volatility and perhaps even manipulation. if you take one stock, which is game stop, it was trading at less than $5 a month ago. it went up to nearly $500. today it's trading at $92. why is the big question here? that's an investigation of reddit and robinhood and
1:26 am
robinhood, which is the trading platform that had to raise $3 billion to cover all of the trades taking place, is going to traditional media this weekend with the super bowl. it's going to spend $5.5 million as an ad to depict itself as a trading platform of the common man and woman today. very much like the shakespeare work, prey on the wealthy, give to the poor. because of the criticism of halting trade, it wants to support. hard workers that just want to get involved on wall street at the same time. the juxtaposition, new york stocks exchange has changed with reddit and robinhood now getting the ire of the regulators in washington. >> see what happens with that. john defterios joining us live from abu dhabi. one woman who bought into the qanon conspiracy is warning
1:27 am
republicans that they should disavow the conspiracy theory including marjorie taylor greene. >> if they're not going to call her out on it, there's got to be some truth. >> the qanon believer who realized she had been fed lies.

1:30 am
welcome back, everyone. u.s. house democrats are expected to remove controversial republican lawmaker marjorie taylor greene from her committee assignments when they call a
1:31 am
floor vote later today. that's because republicans took no action against greene on wednesday. they argued her history of violent rhetoric against democrats pre-dated her arrival in congress. instead, some of those republicans directed their anger towards congresswoman liz cheney. they wanted to take away her leadership role because she voted to impeach donald trump, but the effort to remove her failed when it was put to a secret ballot. so let's talk now with larry sabato. always a pleasure to have you with us. >> thank you so much, rosemary. so the republican party is currently undergoing a reckoning of sorts attacking liz cheney for voting to impeach donald trump while supporting whacky
1:32 am
qanon conspiracy theorist marjorie taylor greene. greene got a standing ovation. what does this reveal about where the republican party is heading right now? >> i think it confirms what we have seen for some time. the republican party ought to be renamed the trump party or maybe the qanon party. maybe it should be instead of gop it should be gqp. it's pretty clear marjorie taylor greene has more support than the leadership of the party in the house and the senate, certainly the house, or a lot of those members are afraid of her and the other qanon members. the energy is with the more extreme parts of the republican party. >> it appears to be, and of course house minority leader kevin mccarthy condemned greene's crazy conspiracy comments but with no consequences he left that to the democrats who set a date for
1:33 am
later today to remove green from committees. how big a leadership failure is this for mccarthy leaving it up to them to do the work and how do you expect that vote to go? >> it's a big failure for mccarthy, but it's just an extension of the earlier failure when at first he condemned the insurrectionist riot at capitol hill and blamed, correctly, president trump for energizing it and then took it all back. this is a guy who can't figure out where he stands or he's doing a tap dance. he's trying to be everywhere at once and it's incredibly unimpressive. so that's the image he's projecting of the republican party. i think it is showing up finally in a lot of polling about the legislative leaders, a new one released today showed the democratic leaders, pelosi and schumer doing very well relative to the republicans, mcconnell
1:34 am
and mccarthy who were very, very low. and people pay attention. they get a sense where the leaders are coming from and whether they really are leaders as opposed to someone who is titled but a follower. that's what mccarthy is. >> larry sabato talking to me earlier. one qanon believer says marjorie taylor greene's positions are dangerous. this woman said she bought into the theories until they didn't materialize. >> when president biden was sworn in i was just crying. i mean, i couldn't stop. it was that ugly cry you do, just kept going. i was like, oh, my gosh, like i'm seeing a funeral. i went into panic mode. i told my mom, we're all going to die. we're going to be owned by
1:35 am
china. i might have to pull my daughter out of school because they're going to take her. i was scared to death. >> reporter: ashley vanderbilt fell deep down the qanon conspiracy theory before november's election how did you get into this world and go down this rabbit hole? >> i saw tiktok. so then i would reach out to different friends of mine that were bigger trump supporters. i would say, i saw this on ticktock, what do you think? they'd start sending me youtube videos, different facebook live videos. one thing led to another. i went down this rabbit hole learning all of this stuff. what have we heard the last four or five years. don't watch the news. i don't watch the news. i don't read newspapers. i've done something you tell me what to do and i do it. i grew up being told to be a
1:36 am
republican and i've been the straight red ticket. >> how do you think videos showed up? >> originally i was following entertainment videos and then i started liking trump posts. >> right before inauguration you didn't believe biden was going to be sworn in? >> no, i expected a blackout, the tv to go black. the assumption of what would happen would be that most of the democratic leaders there, quite a few of the republican leaders, all of the hollywood elite that had been there, they said trump opened up guantanamo bay and they said trump would come back when the government was rebuilt. i know it sounds crazy. >> reporter: you believed it? >> i did. >> then biden got sworn in. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: how did you feel?
1:37 am
>> i was devastated. >> reporter: the belief among qanon supporters was wrong. ashley believed she bought into a conspiracy theory. >> i was wrong. >> reporter: how do you feel now that you believed all of this? >> it's weird. i've been home a lot. i lost my job last april in 2020 and i was super depressed and i think in a way i probably lost touch with a little bit of reality and almost that common sense and so i'm not so much embarrassed for what i believed but i feel foolish. >> reporter: a spokesperson for ticktock said the company is committed to combatting misinformation and content promoting qanon is not allowed. >> i was the biggest trump
1:38 am
supporter. if he would have said he was illegitimate, nothing was real in there, some people would leave. maybe not the people that are far too into it. >> reporter: it would have helped you? >> i thought the world of him. if he would have said, that's not real, i'm not coming back, it is over, i would have believed him. >> reporter: while ashley vanderbilt was able to get out of this conspiracy theory out of qanon, many other trump supporters are continuing to believe this conspiracy theory, continuing to believe these lies. vanderbilt says she hopes that by speaking out she will help others see the light. back to you. >> thanks for that report. some other republican voters now say they feel betrayed after their representative from washington state voted to impeach donald trump. our kyung lah has this story. >> news radio 610 k with a monday afternoon. >> it's the bottom line on news
1:39 am
radio 610, kona. >> reporter: in the heart of washington's fourth congressional district -- >> we're going to open up the phones. >> reporter: a conservative strong hold. >> we're very strongly behind president trump. >> reporter: continues to react. >> the vote from daniel housen in favor of impeachment. s a democrat in sheep's clothing. >> reporter: still angry at their congressman, dan new house, one of ten republicans who voted to impeach donald trump. >> there was a domestic threat at the door of the capitol and he did nothing to stop it. that is why with a heavy heart and clear resolve i will vote yes on these articles of impeachment. >> reporter: it's not echos of that applause here in this agricultural swath of who says he won't. in this district the congressman and trump won easily. >> retreat is what we heard from our listeners.
1:40 am
>> thanks for the call. appreciate it. >> reporter: when you say majority, what do you mean? >> probably 85% of our listeners. 85% developed a personal connection with president trump. news radio 610 k, where are you calling from? >> reporter: they're already calling for 2022. >> i will be voting for mr. brad clippert. >> reporter: he has said he's running. >> i'm brad running for congress for the fourth congressional seat, yes, ma'am, in 2022. i'm running for the values and beliefs and principles i believe during president trump's presidency. love you, lady. thank you. have a great day. >> reporter: how did you respond when the congressman voted to impeach the president? >> he lost my vote. >> reporter: why would he lose your support completely because of this one vote? >> because he has joined that group that is trying to destroy
1:41 am
our president. >> he needs to be in touch with his people and i think that he fauld to do that. >> it's the right thing to do. >> reporter: even this supporter acknowledges in a place that remains firmly pro trump, 2022 may not be kind. >> i think it's going to be tough over here. >> reporter: of course there is a lot of time between now and november 2022. supporters of representative new house say there are plenty of votes, many months for him to turn it all around. as far as his critics, they say they doubt that their sentiments and their support for donald trump will waiver between now and then. kyung lah, cnn, sunnyside, washington. the so-called qanon shaman who stormed the capitol must be given organic food in a washington, d.c., jail. a federal judge ruled that
1:42 am
accommodations could be made for jacob chancley because he was allowed to stick to the diet. he said non-organic food is against his religion of shamanism. they could find nothing that eating organic was a tenant of shamanism. still to come, president biden is set to make his first big foreign policy speech later. how much will he have to save about putin critic alexey navalny. we are live in moscow.

well, all eyes will be on the u.s. state department later as joe biden makes his first visit there as president. he will outline his foreign policy after meeting with secretary of state tony blinken.
1:46 am
they will be keen to see between biden and his predecessor. mr. biden has already ordered an intelligence review of russian actions including its treatment of navalny. on wednesday navalny's wife julia spoke out thanking the crowds who were protesting and vowing we will win in any case. let's go to fred pleitgen. he joins us live from moscow. good to see you, fred. what are the expectations about what the president is going to say? >> reporter: it appears to be part of the speech and that's what the kremlin said.
1:47 am
they were asked about president biden's threats of sanctions over the treatment of alexey navalny and the protesters out on the streets of moscow and many other cities in russia over the past couple of weeks, specifically about a day and a half ago, the very harsh treatment of those protestors. and dmitry petkof seemed to indicate the russian government is not going to give an inch on that. the threat of sanctions cannot be a basis. and he also said that any sort of calls to release alexey navalny and anything having to do with the detensions here in russia is something the russians would not be willing to talk about. it's an internal russian matter, matter of russian judiciary and not something the kremlin is willing to discuss with the united states or with other countries as well. in general it seems as though the russian government is
1:48 am
sticking to its very hard line. we heard yesterday from the kremlin they believe that some of the detention that is have been going on here over the past couple of weeks, that those are justified. there are widespread reports in this country, rosemary, of the russian authorities detaining so many people over the past couple of weeks that they've actually run out of space in their detention facilities. some people have been apparently kept in detention buses for extended periods of time. one of the things that the kremlin spokesperson said about that today. he said, yes, it's very possible that more people have been detained than there is space for but he essentially said it's their own fault because they came out and demonstrated in non-sanctioned demonstrations as the kremlin calls them. right now we can see them continuing with their very hard line, rosemary. >> absolutely. fred pleitgen bringing us the latest from moscow. many thanks. health care providers are adapting so they can give out as many covid vaccines as possible. when we return, some unusual

welcome back, everyone. a mass covid vaccination site opens on friday at new york's yankee stadium with 15,000 appointments available in its first week. the mayor's office says the site was selected because the bronx where it's located has a high percentage of people who test positive for the virus, but yankees stadium is just one of many unique locations and the world being converted into vaccination sites. cnn's robyn curnow shows us. >> reporter: all aboard this bus in france. seniors taking their seats inside aren't going on a trip but they are taking a big step, protecting themselves from the coronavirus by getting vaccinated. many residents in this rural town don't have the means to travel to bigger cities to get inoculated. initiative by the local government, this mobile vaccination site came to them. >> translator: it's a very good initiative to have done this
