president biden pushing his new plan to prevent a spike in covid cases this winter but will it be enough? as the new omicron variant we still know so little about spreads in the united states. plus alec baldwin is speaking out on the deadly movie set shooting tonight. he is insisting he didn't pull the trigger and he is not to blame for cinematographer halyna hutchins' death. there are new details in the investigation of the michigan high school shooting the sheriff
8:01 pm
revealing two teachers reported concerning behavior from the suspected shooter hours before the attack that left four students dead and injured seven others. we want to get to the coronavirus virus first off. here is what president biden says about the challenges ahead. >> this is a plan that he think should unite us. i know covid-19 has been very divisive in this country and has become a political issue which is a sad commentary. it shouldn't be but it has been. now as we move into winter and face the challenges of this new variant this is a moment when we can put the divisiveness behind us i hope and do what we haven't been able to do enough of through the whole pandemic. get the nation to come together. >> i want to bring in andy slavitt a former biden white house senior adviser for covid response and also the author of "preventible the inside story of how leadership failures,
8:02 pm
selfishness, doomed the united states coronavirus response." good to see you. president biden is laying out his plan to fight the winter wave of covid focusing on vaccines and testing. we've been in this pandemic for 21 months. >> hard to believe. i was asking in the break how long were we in our homes? >> well, the difference today, don, versus last year in much of the 21 months is we have a large array of tools. what the president announced today that we'll have at-home tests available for free for americans, 50 million at community health centers, and then insurance companies required to pay for the at-home tests. we'll have boosters, a big effort at community centers and family centers to vaccinate kids. between all of those things and coming therapies on the market it is a very different version of facing this pandemic than a
8:03 pm
year ago. >> you think that will be helpful. >> just think about it. with an at-home test what can you do? if you're positive you can instantly get treated and not go out and infect other people. you can have people over. see your grandmother, your friends, go to school, go to work. these are big differences. last year we were talking about do you lock down or stay open? how we have such a large array of tools we don't have to have that debate any longer. >> including vaccines and boosters and on and on. >> but you got to use the tools. >> right. if you had a test at home as you said you wouldn't have to go outside and possibly infect other people. i want to put up the president's plans. he plans to have insurance companies reimburse americans for at-home covid tests and provide free ones for the uninsured. as you said, have insurance companies pay for it. why involve insurance companies with all the forms and the red tape and you got to distribute the tests and all of that?
8:04 pm
>> i wasn't in the white house for the debate on how they'll do this but i am sure they put a premium on how to do this quickly and equitably. let's face it people who live in nice parts of manhattan and california and others are using these tests and can afford these tests but really people who can't afford $10 for every test. if i were in the white house right now i would call the insurance company ceos and say why don't you send these tests directly to people's homes so that you're going to pay for them anyway and ask them to go ahead and do this for the rest of the emergency. i hope they would oblige. >> when i was talking to my producer tonight she said great we have andy slavitt live. i said that's great. as i was talking to her you were on with jake tapper and you were talking about your time at the white house. you believe there are, you made some mistakes, under estimating the delta variant, right? are you confident that the white house isn't doing the same
8:05 pm
thing? >> in 2020 nobody said in 2021 we'll have an even worse variant. it is easy to have the perspective of hindsight. but everybody around the world not just in the u.s. not just in government but myself among them thought we were taming this thing in june. that we were not going to see a more complex variant emerge. when it did we quickly adjusted and the president quickly adjusted. let's look at it. we have been able to keep our lives going, to get 99% of schools open. we've been able to get businesses back open. even despite delta which has been a surprise and blow to all of us, we've been able to move the country forward. >> i want to talk to you about this new cnn analysis showing since the vaccines have become widely available the risk of dying from covid is more than 50% higher in states that voted for donald trump than in states that voted for biden. if the administration hasn't been able to get through to these people now, how are they
8:06 pm
going to do it? >> i'm beginning to wonder, don, whether or not those folks are well led by their representatives and people in congress. as we know tonight, ted cruz wanted to have a showdown to shut down the government over essentially an antivaccine approach he wanted to take. i think what president biden does is continually calls for everyone to pull together and make this not political. just focus on saving lives, keeping businesses open, making the economy go forward, keeping schools open. what he gets in return is congressman jackson from tennessee who, sorry, from texas who is already calling omicron a hoax. and senators unwilling to move the country forward. this is not true with every republican elected leader thankfully but those that are misserving their constituents are putting them at great risk >> i don't know if you got to watch the program especially in your time at the white house but
8:07 pm
it didn't land well with a lot of people or some people, that i don't know if you'll be able to convince everyone and i don't know if it is the people's job who are doing the right thing to face the dire consequences of people who are doing the wrong thing and to put the responsibility on them and not allow them the opportunity to go to ball games or concerts, the folks who are not shouldn't they face some consequences? >> the elephant in the room here is about 20% of the public really doesn't believe in science or institutions or the establishment of law and order. >> they're not convincible. >> we have 81% of americans who have at least one vaccine, adults. the last 20% has a different belief system. you are absolutely right. we run up against a wall. in most of life, don, 80% you
8:08 pm
win. in this virus unfortunately 80% is not enough. >> making the point quickly, even those # -- the 20%, that is the reason the virus keeps spreading and replicating is because it is being allowed to. they are allowing it to spread. >> absolutely. >> we are all paying a price for the number of people left behind and we need to look really hard at how we communicate with people, what is causing this. i think it is far bigger than the pandemic and far bigger than donald trump. i don't think he caused it but it is something we have to figure out. >> such a pleasure. please come back. good to see you. >> thank you. i want to turn to cnn's donie o'sullivan who has disturbing information about facebook and messaging.
8:09 pm
you found out facebook was selling ads comparing vaccines to the holocaust? i mean this is despicable. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, don. it is really messed up what they're allowing on their platform. take a look at these ads that facebook accepted money for and loud to run. one is showing a picture of a vaccine as saying slowly and quietly but a holocaust again playing into this insane idea the vaccine is a tool of killing people. app another that ran, i'm originally from america but i currently reside in 1941 germany. a few nights ago when a fox news personality compared dr. anthony fauci to a nazi doctor the angel of death it caused outrage but this stuff is not happening in a vacuum. for a lot of americans this kind of thing is all over their facebook feeds and facebook will often like to say this is about free speech. we don't twwant to tamp down on too much stuff even if misinformation but this is different. these are actual ads facebook is taking money for and putting
8:10 pm
into the feeds of americans. facebook did take these ads down after cnn brought it to their attention but again, this is the sort of stuff that facebook should be finding themselves. it is a trillion dollar company. >> why is it up to us to point it out to them? i'm glad facebook took the holocaust ads down. ride the red wave also ran ads for a t-shirt saying that, make hanging traitors great again. i mean, what the hell is that? how is that okay? >> it is against belief. i've been dealing with this company with facebook for a long time. it's only been a few months since we saw a gallows outside the capitol with people calling, hang mike pence. this is not about free speech. it is not about rhetoric. that is an ad facebook is taking money to run and put into
8:11 pm
americans' facebook feeds and even after we asked them about it they said it didn't seem to break any of their rules. >> there you go. thank you. appreciate it. i want to bring in cnn's senior political analyst ron brownstein. i mean -- >> yeah. >> ron, come on. come on. >> as often the case tony's reporting leaves you breathless. facebook is an incredible c contributor to the strains we are seeing in our society. it is hard to think of a company since the heyday of the tobacco cover-ups of the 1940s that has behaved more irresponsibly on a sustained basis. it is remarkable to watch. week to week month to month the revelations. >> ron the holocaust invoked again and again. qanon congresswoman marjorie taylor greene the jewish space
8:12 pm
laser lady talking about vaccine nazis. senator ted cruz calling -- i can't -- look. >> yeah >> i don't have enough time and energy. i hate having to say all this stuff. he is calling them dangerous. chip roy calling them tyranny. what is happening? what is this rhetoric doing to the fabric of our country? what is it doing to the sane people? >> well i believe i wrote the friday before the election the 2020s will be the most dangerous and difficult decade for america since the 1850s the decade before the civil war and largely for the same reason. you know, you have a faction now that is the trump faction is the dominant faction in the republican party who believes that democrats and all sorts of ways from vaccine mandates to, you know, quote, cancel culture are transforming america and that therefore any means
8:13 pm
necessary is justified to oppose that, living through the most sustained kind of threats or implications of violence in congress itself since the 1850s and charles sumner was caned the massachusetts senator in 1856 by a south carolina house member. we are seeing a majority of republican voters saying in polls the traditional way of life, american way of life is disappearing so fast we may have to use force to save it. that is translating not only as an answer in polls but the kind of threats we see to public health workers and local government officials and school board members. this is a very dangerous moment and the main stream of the republican party is not doing anything by their refusal to -- they are encouraging it. >> is that why this brazen stupidity is being allowed to
8:14 pm
flourish and fester in this country? when you have a former president who just defies covid his own covid protocol and goes to go to a debate and what have you, then you have these other just whack jobs and is it because the leadership won't hold them to account or is this the republican party? why is this being allowed? i don't understand it. >> well, look. i think that is the single biggest factor allowing for the radicalization of american politics that the main stream republicans the roughly one-quarter party that is not, really qualifies as main stream anymore, but what we used to call the main stream are not holding the line, are not resisting what has been a very successful effort by trump to break down the walls between the gop and the most radical elements in american society.
8:15 pm
all of those voices in the republican party are operating under the implicit protection of trump. you see it in the way people like kevin mccarthy deal with them. he is afraid to discipline them in any real way because he realizes to do so would invite a thunder bolt from trump and failure to discipline them encourages them. and the way in which trump has kind of main streamed arguments and language and views of far right groups encourages them. and so all of these -- you see rather than standing up to it the republican elected officials in state after state kind of going along with the big lie and passing legislation making it tougher to vote or making it easier to interfere with the counting of votes or conspiracy theorists running for election positions. we are kind of steadily moving toward a crisis moment where you see all of these elements of social division coming together.
8:16 pm
biden has chosen largely to kind of as andy slavitt said to focus on where he can work with the other side rather than calling out this danger. there is a big debate among democracy experts around the world about whether the best way to respond to growing authoritarianism is to call it out or to focus on what some call normal politics of building coalitions and delivering material goods. biden is betting very heavily on the latter even as all of these clouds gather. it is a defining bet not only for his presidency and party but for the country >> i know main stream republicans don't like it when people call their party names but if they don't want people to associate their party with bigots then they need to call the bigots out in their party. if they don't want their party associated with authoritarianism they need to call the people out in their party. if they don't want their party
8:17 pm
to be the called the party of racists they need to call the racists out in their party. they are not doing that and so now they have become the party of all of that as long as the leadership and the main stream republicans think this is going to get them to hang on to power then they become the party of everything they hate people calling them. thank you, ron. >> yes. well said. thank you. >> thank you, sir. alec baldwin speaking out tonight about the fatal shooting on the set of the movie "rust" that took the life of cinematographer halyna hutchins and wounded the director joel souza. >> so you have this colt 45. you just pulled -- >> the hammer as far back as i could without cocking the actual -- >> you are holding on to the hammer. >> i'm going do you see that? does that work? she goes yeah that's it. i let go of the hammer and bang the gun goes off. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

8:21 pm
8:22 pm
alec baldwin speaking out for the first time in a sit down interview since the deadly shooting on the "rust" movie set, baldwin claiming he never pulled the trigger. >> in this scene i'm going to cob the gun. i said do you want to see that? she said yes. i take the gun and i start to cock the gun. i'm not going to pull the trigger. she said just tilt it down a little bit like that. i go can you see that? can you see that? she says, and i let go of the hammer of the gun abthe gun goes off. i let go of the hammer of the gun, the gun goes off. >> at the moment? >> the moment the gun went off, yeah. >> it wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled. >> well the trigger wasn't pulled. i didn't pull the trigger. >> joining me now cnn's legal analyst joey jackson and former editor of hollywood reporter matt bellamy.
8:23 pm
good evening. more sound bites i want to play. you're shaking your head. why? >> i don't think, listen, inthere is an imperative for public relations purposes you want to get out there and i'm sure he feels terrible as it relates to what happened here but doing an interview in this circumstance is fraught with difficulty. you have a sheriff's department undertaking a criminal investigation. you're making major admissions here as to what you did. this is all about the handling of the weapon and even prior to the handling of the weapon what if anything did you do to assess that weapon to evaluate it, to look at it in addition to what the armorer did to ensure there was no bullet here. when you talk about criminality it is not only we talk about you meant to kill someone. there are other steps. sometimes you kill someone not meaning to do it but you're negligent with respect to what you do or do not do. that is a problem. there is another thing. this are also lawsuits here so it's not only criminal exposure but you're facing civil
8:24 pm
exposure. it is only money i get it but when you go out and do an interview like this and then sit for a deposition as well, the legal things, lawyers ask you questions and everything you say is in a transcript, then for example they tell you you're under oath and you lie so it is perjury, so i understand from a public relations perspective you want to get out there and tell your story but from a legal perspective i say not in addition to what he actually said. he is talking about the manner in which he handled the gun, the fact he cocked the trigger -- >> not the trigger. the hammer back. >> the hammer back. he said he didn't pull the trigger. i don't know if that statement is sustainable. is that true? >> i was going to go to matt to talk about the hollywood story then i saw you shaking your head. are you saying he shouldn't have done this interview? >> no. absolutely not. there are damaging things stated in addition to whether people
8:25 pm
actually believe what he is saying as to whether he pulled the trigger or not. i would not have done that no. >> matt, you heard his explanation. baldwin says he never pulled the trigger and got very emotional when he spoke of halyna hutchins. >> she was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with and liked by everyone who worked with her and admired. but admired by everybody who worked with her. >> in response to that, matt, to what joey said maybe he felt compelled regardless of the circumstances or exposure that he had to say something because he feels so awful about it. how do you think he came across in the interview?
8:26 pm
this is still an ongoing investigation as joey pointed out. >> absolutely. baldwin is an emotional guy. he always has been. it's gotten him into trouble in the past. this is a guy remember who pulled over on the side of the road and did an interview with papparazzi a couple weeks ago. so he is just an impulsive guy. i think he probably said you know what? i know there is an ongoing investigation. i know this could potentially be bad for me. i want to do it anyway. he also has an interest here in the public sphere of getting this information out there. this is new information we did not know if it is true about the fact he says he did not pull the trigger. whether that's consequential in a legal forum is another question. but in the public forum it does cause people to look at this and say oh, okay. why did he say this? is it true? what actually happened here? >> i think he did say if the interview that he had to do it. because some of the things he said were just so far afield and egregious that he wanted to respond to them. i imagine if you took someone's
8:27 pm
life, i may say screw it. i'm just going to say how i feel and tell the truth and what i know. alec baldwin made the point that he was clearly a creative -- talking about civil liabilities right? he was curl a creative producer on the film. watch this >> i am a purely creative producer. my authorities as a producer are casting and script which were actually married to the role of being a lead actor in a film. >> so you are not the kind of producer looking at the line item of each budget. >> no, no. there are basically two types of producers who are really in charge of production, people that raise the money, and people who spend the money. my consultations or approvals were completely about casting and the script. i don't hire anybody on the crew. >> not even the cinematographer, no one? >> no. he will aprice me of what he is doing and say to me i got halyna hutchins to be did the ps. how do you feel about that?
8:28 pm
>> i am very excited. she is wonderful. >> he says he wasn't the person looking at line item budgets. he was focused on casting and script. >> you were part of a team and you wanted to ensure the safety of the set, correct? you know everyone has different positions? it is not exclusively that. as a team you want to ensure every piece goes right. isn't that true? what am i saying? there will be questions that are asked that extend beyond the mere excuse you are merely doing this segment. beyond your producing you were given a gun. at any time when you were given that did you feel it might be appropriate to examine it? you heard before other actors and what they do in handling guns and you've taken and undertaken many roles not only as a producer but an actor. you know it is dangerous and you can't put your trust in everybody else is that right? because of that you have to assess yourself. did you do that, sir? did you examine the weapon? did you look into it? did you determine whether it was safe before you pointed it at
8:29 pm
anybody? i think you cannot limit and say when you do any job that this is all i do and therefore i'm responsible for nothing else. i'm sure he feels miserable, don. positive. you look at the interview, it is compelling. there is a life lost here. the issue is did you have anything to do as a result of your -- don't tell me the limitations of your role. tell me that you and everybody else should be given to the safety of everyone on that set. you didn't do it. the issue is you're civilly liable. will the sheriff find you krimly liable. wouldn't have been on tv doing any of that. >> at least one other member of the crew is backing up alec baldwin's claims. we'll hear more from alec baldwin and the member of the crew and talk to joey and matt right after this break. don't go anywith.

8:35 pm
surprised. >> joey, at least one member of the crew is backing up baldwin's claim that he didn't pull the trigger. another one has filed a lawsuit. alec baldwin has been told he is highly unlikely to be charged criminally. do you agree with that? >> it is a difficult criminal prosecution. as i was noting before not all crime is predicated upon i intended to do it. sometimes you can be so careless and reckless in what you do it amounts to criminality. the prosecutor has a real decision to make. at the end of the day you look at two things. number one what did he not do? and should he have had an obligation to evaluate and inpetke that weapon? i don't care how many other people did it. as it relates to someone backing up your story am i in a position to note whether you pulled the trigger? are you really that close that you can examine and know exactly where my finger was at the very mom the gun went off? that is a credibility assessment. >> matt, the last word here. what do you think? >> i really think that if i was
8:36 pm
the investigator, the district attorney, in new mexico, and i saw this interview i'd say really? someone told you that you're not going to be held criminally liable here? that is our decision whether to bring charges not yours. i would be very annoyed if i saw this interview. i think that is probably going to play a role going forward. >> just sad all the way around. thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you, don. authorities saying two teachers flagged a suspected michigan school shooter for concerning behavior just before the shooting and prosecutors now say there is a strong possibility he had a gun in his backpack during a meeting with school officials before the attack. were red flags overlooked? with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

8:41 pm
disturbing new details about tuesday's deadly michigan high school shooting. cnn obtaining a photo of the gun believed to have been used in the massacre posted to an instagram account days before the incident. a source telling cnn the sheriff's office believes the account belongs to the accused shooter. then as we learned the 15-year-old suspect's behavior was so concerning that teachers, to teachers that his parents had to come to the school just hours before the attack. prosecutors say there is a strong possibility the suspect had the gun in his backpack during the meeting. he faces charges ranging from
8:42 pm
first-degree murder to terrorism and prosecutors have indicated that they're also considering charging his parents. joining me now is criminologist casey jordan and cnn legal analyst reve martin the author of "awakening, ladies, leadership, and the lies we've been told." what a sad story. casey, you first. there was no indication that the suspect was bullied. two different teachers felt his behavior was concerning enough for them to alert the school. we have this new instagram post believed to be the gun used in this massacre. when you look at all of these red flags, all of this in the days before the tragic shooting what do you see here? >> well, we call all of these red flags leakage. they are communications to a third party but sometimes that is a person more often through social media, videos, journal entries, and of course we have all three of those things. we are unclear what the
8:43 pm
disturbing behavior was that caused the teachers to refer him. both on monday and by an entirely different teacher again on tuesday. that prompted them to call the parents. the thing we did not know in all of this equation, we've got the social media with him holding the gun saying look at my new beauty, that he had gotten this gun just four days before. we did not know he had that gun in his backpack at the school or i can guarantee you that meeting would have gone entirely diff differently. that's where i have to bring the parents in. what went wrong? the parents bought a gun. didn't know he had it. and were completely unaware that he had the gun with him. they should have known where the gun was and, clearly, this child never should have had the gun. >> wow. the prosecutor is telling us tonight she believes there is a strong possibility that they had the gun, a sfrotrong possibilitn that meeting with school
8:44 pm
officials and parents just before the attack. he was let back into class after that. is anyone responsible for missing this? >> that is the question, don. that is why this prosecutor has said she has not ruled out the possibility both of these parents not just the father that bought the gun but the mother as well could be facing criminal charges. there is conduct that can be so careless and reckless such as having a gun in your home that's not secured, such as having ammunition in your home that is not secured, that that conduct rises to the level of criminality. that is what this prosecutor said is under vainvestigation. i wouldn't be surprised if we see criminal charges brought against this family. there is some precedence, some cases where individuals have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in other kind of reckless conduct for doing something very similar which is bringing a gun into a home and allowing it to be left in a place where it can be accessed by a teenager or child.
8:45 pm
and at the very least, don, we should expect to see civil claims, civil lawsuits brought by the four students unfortunately that lost their lives as a result of this senseless violence. not just against these parents but potentially against the school because as you and casey just talked about this kid had been flagged by two different teachers so it raises all kinds of questions about what the school knew, what the parents knew, and why this wasn't stopped before these four kids lost their lives. >> casey, what about the other students here? it wasn't just those who were killed sadly. there were many injured as well and the other students in the school have to deal with this as well. >> right. that is why the prosecutor is charging this child, this shooter with terrorism. it's symbolic but important. they've made the point that currently there are hundreds of students who survived this
8:46 pm
attack and are traumatized, having nightmares. they can't eat. they don't want to go back to school. you have to understand that we cannot become immune to the trauma these kids go through. whether a shooting happens at their school or they just have to go through the drills to prepare for it, it is becoming too commonplace. if there is any lesson here let's not point fingers at the school. they were doing everything right, following protocol. but every parent out there who owns a gun legally or illegally, go find that gun, make sure it is locked up away from children because there are going to be real lessons here if these parents are charged. we'll start looking at parents much more harshly when their children do these sorts of actions. >> do you know the hoops i had to jump through and how old i was before my parents would even let me have a bb gun. right? it was a fight.
8:47 pm
how are these teenagers getting ar-15 type weapons and 9 millimeters? what has happened? >> i think we just got to call it out, don. kudos to your parents for putting those kinds of restrictions on you as a kid. that is what we should be seeing with respect to all parents. we shouldn't be having to ask the question how are kids getting access to guns particularly when we hear stories like this where the parents were the ones who bought the gun and brought it into the home. that gave access of this gun to this 15-year-old kid. parents have a responsibility to protect not just their child but protect other children their kids may come into contact with. and i hope we do see harsher penalties against parents who are not being responsible with respect to gun ownership. >> yes. thank you both. i hope we see each other again under better circumstances and we're not covering something like this. be well.
