cnn's hadas gold is working on this story. appreciate it. >> to our viewers, thank you very much for watching. i am wolf blitzer, i will be back tomorrow. e erin burnett with "outfront" starts now. a warning that donald trump could incite violence again coming from liz cheney tonight as president biden weighs in for the first time. expected mother ramping information of infertility. the city of atlanta is braising for r protest. let's go "outfront." good evening, i am erin burnett. trump's language could provoke violence again. those are the words of liz

cheney. the number three republican in-house for now. writing, quote, "there is good reasons that trump's language could provoke violence again. trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work, confidence in the result of the elections." he may have lost the election but he won the heart of the gop. liz cheney is on the one of the way out. an endorsement from the republican king himz. trump writes liz cheney is a

fool. stefanik is a far better choice and she has my complete endorsement. when you actually look at her voting records, stefanik is nowhere near conservative as cheney. you compare that with stefanik's 48%. whatever curve you are grading on. that's an f. all that matters right now is stefanik is repeating and amplifying the big lie. >> i have an obligation to act on this matter. i believe those questions exist. tens of millions of americans are rightly concerned that the 2020 election featured unprecedented voting irre irregularities and over reach by

state officials and judges and a fundamental lack of ballot integrity and ballot security. >> well, that's what matters. is that sentiment. that is the whole thing. that's why this is happening now. i think it is really important to point out that stefanik's turn towards trump on the big lie once changed where she once was. when trump attacked the gold star family, stefanik released a statement reading in part "i think there is no excuse in attacking gold star families." >> his statements regarding putin and nato and some of the positions in regards to iraq that he made and the oil fields, i opposed those. >> after the infamous hollywood tape. stefanik released a statement

days before the 2016 election. obvi obviously that was the beginning. even as his tenure went on. there were plenty of republicans when tried to brush it under the rug as a joke and all that. she released a statement quote "she believes the former -- >> what changed? time will tell. for now she sounds like someone else. someone who happens to be the reigning ruler of the gop right now. >> democrats are obsessed with impeachment. >> they have been obsessed with impeachment. >> the phony russia hoax. >> the phony russia hoax. >> sleepy joe rejects this

scientific approach in favor of locking all americans in their basements. >> joe biden wants to keep them locked up in the basement. for the first time tonight preside president biden is weighing in. kaitlan collins is "outfront." >> reporter: he's been in politics for decades and he's seen his fair fight with the democratic party. he told us at the white house that he never seen anything like this. >> it seems as though the republican party is trying to identify what it stands for. and they're in the midst of significant sort of many revolution going on with the republican party. i think the republicans are further away from trying to figure out who they are and what

they stand for and i thought they would be at this point. >> reporter: that last part seems to be a reference to oppose trump in washington and what it is going to look like. he does not think republicans have not figured it out. president biden does think it is important to have this two-party system and important to have a healthy debate between the two parties happening here in washington. the debate that's happening now is not over these trillions of dollars of spending. he wants to reshape the american economy and the role of the government and this is what we are talking about what's happening within gop leadership and on that we should note that one week from today that president biden has invited congressional leadership to come here at the white house and be with him. that's not just chum schumer and na nancy pelosi, that could be mitch mcconnell and mccarthy as well. >> thank you very much. kaitlan, i want to go to the

republican governor of arkansas, hutchinson. i appreciate your time, i want to start with liz cheney. you have known her and her family for a long time. you told me a couple of months and i quote you, -- governor, what do you think your party is doing? >> you got the house and the representatives and republican governors are engaged as well. what you are seeing with the leadership in congress is simply one aspect of a party having an internal debate and the people of my state and across the country are probably more

focused on vaccine rates and infrastructure. in terms of liz cheney, she's a conservative, she did a vote of conscious and she could not be ousted because of one vote of conscious. it sounds like she's recognizing she's going to be replaced. this is perceived by the american body politics as an ouster because of one vote. dw i don't think it is healthy for our party. we got to got back to talking about the idea and how to unify ourselves. we got to come together for

2022. this debate right now is not healthy. >> president biden referring it as many revolutions. it is fair to say it is a reality that's why she's being kicked out. she comes out and says it is a lie and he says no, you are the lie. when we look at her voting record, governor, she over her lifetime 80% of the conservative ranking group under conservative issues, she's being replaced by congresswoman stefanik with 48%. that's an f. do you understand what's happening in your party? >> well, yes, there is a disagreement on leadership and it is not a pretty look for our party. when ever you got people like myself that has pointed to january 6th and the president's role in that is not the right

role of a leader of our country but i don't want to hit that everyday. i think it is important that we leave this to our prosecutors. they are prosecuting hundreds of people because of what happened there. the president got his own legal issues. we got to move beyond as a party and we are not doing it quickly. and liz cheney battled fo for -- she won reelection so she maintained her post and something has happened since then and the division has continued. it is a bad look for our party. >> it is something that happens since then and you don't want to talk about it but you are. it is becoming the litmus test whether she can be a leadership or not. governor, when you sit there and think about it, do you feel you are out of step with the core of

the gop. >> and that's my point is it should not be a litmus test. there is thousands of republicans that have a different view than i do. we are part of the same team and if we are going to win in 2022, we got to come together, it should not be a litmus test either way. liz cheney should not be ousted because of a vote of conscious. at the same time, we should not ostricize those on the other side that are sympathetic to donald trump. we can have a disagreement. those are serious issues because it goes to the heart of our democracy. we have to move beyond that and we got to do it more quickly. >> i understand that. when you say that and i know you are trying to make the big ten argument. liz chaieney pointed today that

has -- are you comfortable with those who are on board with those things? >> first of all, if you are wanting to win a leadership post, you don't write an opt-ed like that. that's sticking the camera with a needle in the eye. that's an example of where you're defining our party based on your view of that. i don't think we need to do that. there is honest areas of disagreements. i have been strong about that. there were others that have a different view and we are not going to make that the litmus test. it is important to me and our constitution but i don't think we have to relitigate that. let it be handled in the court or the view of the public opinion. we'll be asked about that.

i get asked about it on this show and i will state my opinion but that's not my driving force everyday. our driving force should be what president biden is doing on the border, infrastructure plan and how we can come together on that. that's what governors are working on and my message is simply let's get back to that. >> so the president as you know has been banned temporarily from social media. he's putting statements out there. it does not have the same sound as it did when he was on those sites. today facebook's advisory board upheld the decision to ban trump on the insurrection, no end date on it. they upheld it. do you think that was the right move or not? >> no, i don't think it is the right move. it is something fundamentally

unfair of a former president being banned from social media posts. i don't like corporate america being the guardian of what's right and wrong to post there. i know they have to make judgments about terrorists and criminal activities, they have to make those judgments. this does not seem right to me. i don't believe it seems right to the american public. so i would be on the bad end of some of his tweets if he's put back on there. >> certainly. >> i think they made a mistake by denying him that access. >> mitch mcconnell was asked about cheney today and he had defended her in the past. he dodged the question. here is what he said, governor. >> the center of my focus is standing up on this administration.

>> you want to focus on the policy but from the perspective of the minority leader in the senate, we were talking about leadership and liz cheney and in her role of leadership. should he have defended her? should you have? >> i thought his comments were right on. he's the senate leader, you try to stay out of house leadership and disputes. that's what this is. it is a republican caucus choosing who they want to represent themselves. i applaud him. that's the message. let's pivot from some of internal squabbles and disputes that we have and focus on president biden and our disgrdis disagreements on policies.

there is an important issues f faced in our country. i applaud him for recognizing that. we don't need to get into that debate. i am here today because i believe this is important for our party and not to ostricize somebody because of one vote. i think it is going to be poorly rec received. we got to move beyond together and hopefully we can do it. >> thank you very much, i appreciate your time governor. >> thank you, erin. good to be with you. i want to go to our special con correspondent who's been breaking so much on this story. you heard him loud and clear. what does it mean for the gop. >> he kept on talking about this is one vote that she's being

ostricizeed for. that's not what this is about. the litmus test here is about telling the truth. the litmus test is about democracy. i think what we have seen and what we are going to see next week when it looks like liz cheney will be removed is that donald trump is back. maybe he never went away. but, this is not kevin mccarthy doing this. he carried out the orders because donald trump wanted him to do this. i will say this. the op-ed today made very clear that liz cheney is not going away. this is just the opening. >> she's clearly and not doing so quietly. you have covered her for a long time. in that op-ed, she mentioned the

justice department in jvestigatn and the january 6th insurrection. she made a specific point. why do you think she felt the need to do that? >> i think there are thwo thing here. the governor talked about criminal activities and facebook. it is clear that there was criminal activity on january 6th and as she says in her op-ed that there are courts that believe that donald trump is continuing to provoke criminal activity by perpetuating the big lie. kevin mccarthy does not want a january 6th commission and he does not want a justice department of investigation because he is likely to be called as a witness. he was talking to donald trump for weeks after the election.

he had that famous phone call with him on january 6th. there is great concern from kevin mccarthy and other members of congress that they're going to have to testify under oath about conversations with donald trump that they don't want to testify to that will speak to trump's mindset and whether or not he had some responsibilities for january 6th. >> it is amazing why they don't want to say the truth of that. and that in of itself is the most significant implications of what you reported. >> thank you very much, appreciate it. the variant detected in india circulated in the united states as experts worn another covid surge is possible in this country. the surgeon general is next. a hotbed of conspiracy theory o f the covid vaccine.

new tonight, vote, anybody is possible. dr. walenski refusing to rule out the surge of the winter virus. it could happen if the united states does not hit 80% herd immunity. >> we have to be humble of this virus. we have variants ahead of us and not full immunity in this population yet. i think anything is possible which is why i think that we should focus on getting people protected and vaccinated now to do as much as we can to prevent it from happening. >> out front now, the u.s. general, dr. murthy, i appreciate your time. you heard dr. walensky, say that

we a we are not out of the woods yet. how worried are you tonight? >> i think let's look at the broader picture. i think we are doing a good job in vaccinating people in our country. that's the key to protecting us from a potential surge down the line. the longer we allow coronavirus cases to continue to develop at a high level, the longer we allow other countries to have unchecked spread of this virus, the more we'll have variants that'll develop. there is always a chance that some of those variants may not be as sensitive if you will to our vaccines. the good news right now is that the primary variants that are circulating the united states are sensitive to the vaccines that we are delivering here. that's why the message is consistent from all of us which is get vaccinated as soon as you can and turn around and talk to your family and friends and make sure they are getting vaccinated.

that's how we'll turn this pandemic around. >> the cdc identified the variant identified in india is circulating the u.s. as a variant of interest. i know this is deeply personal for you, you lost five family members to covid. what an incredible loss, i am so sorry, it is hard to comprehend. and, i know we are so grateful here in the united states for the healthcare system that we do have and the progress that we have and vaccines. we remember how dark things felt here in the u.s. last spring. do you fear that the variant in india or some where else and i know there is some concerns about it that the variant could really come along that could put the u.s. back in those dark days? >> well, we certainly that won't be the case.

we have to be mindful of. i am cautiously optimistic that we'll do well if we keep up our efforts with the vaccination campaign. what's happening in india is a tragedy. india has many challenges but in terms of their variants, it had the b117. it is 50% more contagious than the variant we dealt with in the united states. the other variant that seems to r rise in india. we are trying to understand but this is why it is so important to get these viruses under control because viruses mutate. it is what they do. they can't mutate if they are not spreading and replicating within people. that's why we got to work hard. just remember this is not an effort that one person can take care on their own or one country on their own.

if covid thought us anything is that we need each other. we need each other in terms of countries to step up and help make sure the world has an adequate supply of vaccine to ensure people to have treatments available and supply of ppe, because the threat of covid in any part of the world is a threat to every country. >> right, especially if you are talking about as variance develops that evades the vaccines that affects the whole planet. you have two young children and i have young children as well. i know you and me and many other parents across the country want their kids' lives to be normal like summer camps and other things. summer camps including social distancing and wearing masks. we know the overwhelming majority affecting in-doors and children don't get very sick on

these. are these rules too strict? >> i got two more kids, three and four. they desperately want to go back and seeing their friends and living life the way they did before the pandemic. what the cdc has been helping us to do is there is a science bab based organization that's taking a hard look, they're trying to make recommendations. the more people we get vaccinated, the more we'll be able to relax some of these restrictions and get back to our way of life. we have seen progress in the last few months. if we hit the goal the president laid out, 70% by 4th of july, we'll get there as well. one last thing, this has affected certainly my family and many of our families in big ways. i have lost seven relatives here and family members in india. when i think about why my parents came to this country more than four decades ago, they

came because they were drawn boo y the values of america. the news we received today that the president decided that we'll waive patent protection around covid-19 for producing the supplies that the world needs. this was a statement that put people over patents. it was about leading in the world and helping producing what the world needs at a time of unprecedented crisis. that's a country that my parents dreamt of before they moved to the united states, the country that i feel blessed to be able to serves as surgeon general. i do believe we'll turn this pandemic around. >> before we go, doctor, one more thing. i saw this and it brought a smile to my face. take a look. >> if receive the johnson &

johnson vaccine or a family member of yours, your likelihood of receiving blood clot -- >> something looks like is popping up around you. >> it is my little boy. >> oh, sorry. >> just for everyone to understand, what comes first in your life. it did make me curious as you are sitting here, a surgeon general of the united states of america, what has it been like to deal with moments like that with your family's responsibility and all this? >> well, erin, that moment actually happens quite often. my son they just sits on my laps during meetings and many folks in the government and private

sector, they're just hanging out in my lap. i feel so blessed to have these two beautiful children, they remind me each and everyday of what matters. yes, i am a surgeon general but i am first and for most is a father. i take my responsibility to those children seriously. this is one of those moments where parents across the country have had to struggle how to figure out how to balance work and taking care of your kids and trying to get them to learn at home through virtual environment that's strained and not easy to navigate. we have to make it easier for people to integrate their work life and home life, i don't think it should be embarrassment to people if their child wants to join zoom call or needs to take care of their kids at some point of the day, that's what your family needs. the question is what do we build our lives around? do we choose to build our lives around other people's priorities

or the people who matter to us. i want to build my life around the people i love and the people i care about and if all of us are able to do that and to be clear, i got work to do but if all of us build our lives around the people we care about, we'll be happy and fulfilled and that's what matters. >> truly words of wisdom. thank you so much. i appreciate your time >> thank you, erin. great to see you. >> it says just got my vaccination. the card read go [ bleep ] yourself. >> one that actually allows partisan poll watchers to report some voters. if she can retire sooner, she'll revisit her plan with fidelity. and with a scenario that makes it a possibility, she'll enjoy her dream right now. that's the planning effect, from fidelity.

knowledge. what's the backing of this information? is this something from the cdc or some quack doctor that who knows where he got his degree from. is it finfluential at all to knw that other moms who got it? >> i am not getting the vaccine or did not so -- it is kind of hard to tell them and so hopefully me talking today helps. some crunchy mom goes all right, i won't do measles but i guess i will get the covid one. >> i think it is an important report. we heard the woman who runs the facebook group for moms. she was courageous. you know what did she tell you about where this comes from? it did not come in with the covid vaccine. it came into fertile ground.

tonight texas is the next state to pass sweeping voting registration, allowing partisan poll watchers to video tape.

it bans drive-thru voting and limits extending hours of voting. out front now, congresswoman fr from texas, i appreciate your time. there are two bills in play. governor abbott supports the measure, you are not going to have a problem there. is there anything that can stop this from happening a this point? >> well, it does not look like it erin, we'll have to challenge these laws in court. i think -- and you mentioned some of these things on the bills. the use of poll watchers is one of the most egregious aspect of

this. you also can't pull poll watchers outs in some of these laws. we know they are so we know they're planning on practicing that intimidation. >> the poll watchers thing is really hard to comprehend here. as i said you got restrictions from early voting hours. you can't send unsolicited mail-in ballots. there are a lot of things in there. there are some things that seem at the face to make a will the o'of sense, requiring more counties to require additional hours. require all counties use voting machines that produce an audit of paper ballots. creating an online tool to allow voters to track their absentee and mail-in ballots, which is done in 44 states. do you think those are all good things? do you concede there is some good in the bill? >> this is a common practice

among texas republicans to try and combine some things that may be necessary with clearly policies that are intended to make it harder to vote and then to wrap it all up and say this is about the integrity of our elections, and that's clearly not what's happening here. this is about the national effort we're seeing across the country to support the big lie, really, and to try and make it harder to vote and to support donald trump's claims that the election was stolen. we had a successful election in texas in 2020, over 11 million texans voted. it was record turnout. guess what, republicans still won, and i wish they would be confident in that and allow texans to cast their ballots and to see where the chips fall. >> so texas democratic lawmakers have written a letter to attorney general merrick garland saying texas house republicans have violated rules by pushing these through the legislature without adequate debate. if it it's deemed appropriate the civil rights division monitor the texas house for the

remainder of session. i ask you this because you mentioned there was nothing you could do legislatively that this would have to go the route. given your background, do you think the justice department should get involved in this? >> well, i think they're going to have to take a good look at it. i think that lawsuits take time, and that's the problem we've seen for decades here in texas with these restrictions that have been passed is that it takes time and as it goes through the appeals process, we have a fifth circuit that's been hostile to voting here. even if you get a good ruling at the district court level, you never know what's going to happen. this is why we need to have a national standard around elections and why i've been such a big advocate for hr 1, the for the people act to try and set national standards for vote by mail, for early voting, also to pass the john lewis voting rights act to fix what happened to the voting rights act that the supreme court when they cut down part of it. we need to have national standards so that our democracy isn't radically different from one state to another. what's happening in texas,

what's happening in georgia is sun ac unacceptable in a democracy like ours. >> i appreciate your time. congratulations on the arrival of your little 5 week old. i was hoping we would hear your kids. all has been quiet on that front. i appreciate your time. >> thanks, erin. and next, an officer was fired and charged in the deadly shooting of rayshard brooks last summer. you remember the story, but now he has been rehired, brought back. why? k up to our heroes. idolizing them. mimicking their every move. and if she counts on the advanced hydration of pedialyte when it matters most... ...so do we. hydrate like our heroes.

that he was wrongfully fired. a warning that some of the video in the case is disturbing. investigators say he fired multiple shots at brooks in a wendy's parking lot and brooks took another officer's taser and fired it at them. ryan young is out front. >> reporter: it started when an officer responded to a call about a man sleeping in a car in the drive-through alt a wendy's in atlanta. the officer's body cam are ra and dash cam show them talking to rayshard brooks for more than 20 minutes after which authorities say brooks failed a sobriety test. one of the officers tried to arrest him and things escalated. >> i think you've had too much to drink to be driving. put your hands behind your back. the footage shows a struggle, brooks grabbing one of the officer's tasers and firing it as he runs away. that's when officer garrett wolf opens fire. two shots hit brook killing him. in the wake of the shooting two weeks after the death of george floyd there were days of violent

arrests in atlanta including the wendy's where brooks was shot. the atlanta mayor used her executive authority to call for the officer to be fired the day after the shooting. >> i do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate termination of the officer. >> reporter: the mayor also tried to comfort brooks' family. >> i do hope that you will find some comfort in the swift actions that have been taken today. >> reporter: but that swift firing which led to turmoil in the police department resulting in mass callouts of officers is at the center of his fight to get his job back. during a hearing last week his attorney pled his case. >> we are challenging the gross violations of the ordinances, policies and due processes that were committed by the city of atlanta. >> reporter: the city's civil service board announced they had voted to reinstate the officer based on the procedural issues during his firing.

his attorney said he and his client are excited about the outcome and home to get him back to work stoon. the 27-year-old will be on administrative leave as he faces 11 charges including felony murder. that case remains in limbo as the newly elected fulton county d.a. believes it would be improper for her to try the case leading to more frustration for the brooks' family. >> it appears that rayshard brooks' life didn't really matter and that the world has moved on, but clearly that's not the case. you know, all people want is for this officer to go through the proper court proceedings. >> reporter: mayor bottoms denied defending her decision to fire wolf saying had the immediate action not been taken, i firmly believe the public safety crisis we experienced during that time would have been significantly worse. and when you think about the fallout from this case, dozens of officers left the police force after this decision, and you can see behind me rayshard's

name still remains outside where the wendy's used to be. of course it had to be torn down, but when you think about the turmoil that was here, just think about an 8-year-old girl was also shot during the protests. a lot of people asking questions about what's next. they want to know what's going to happen in this case, moving forward. still a lot of questions. >> all right, ryan, thank you very much. i appreciate it. and thanks to all of you, anderson starts now. there is breaking news in the battle between congressman liz cheney and just about everyone else, in what's currently called the republican party. in a new op-ed in "the washington post," cheney, who may soon be removed from her republican leadership position for speaking out against the former president's lies and violent rhetoric writes that her party is at a turning point. quote, the question before us now is whether we will join trump's crusade to delegitimize and undo the legal outcome of the 2020 election with all the consequences that might have. later she writes, while emb embracing or ignoring trump'
