don't miss the main event. >> cbs . morning to you our viewers in the west and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's tuesday, january 19th, 2021. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. president-elect joe biden is getting ready to set a new course for the nation including an ambitious plan to overhaul immigration. plus, we'll take a look at new security concerns just before his inauguration. president trump's final day in the white house. we look at what to expect over the next 24 hours and who may be on his list of pardons, plus, why some of his new neighbors in florida are already fighting his arrival. we're learning new details about the dangers of the coronavirus in kids. the potentially life-threatening

complication that parents need to know about. and the president-elect's inauguration speech will mark a new beginning. we'll show you how past presidents have met their moments, and why this speech is so important. but first, here's today's "eye opener," it's your world in 90 seconds. >> at this very spot where so many bad things happened two weeks ago, i think the world's going to see the constitution and the democracy of our country work. >> more arrests and charges in that violent siege at the u.s. capitol. >> feds warning the right-wing extremists are still planning more attacks. >> this is still going to be this magical moment where a new president takes the reins. >> security evacuated the premises for what turned out to be a small fire a mile away. >> california has become the first state to report at least 3 million confirmed coronavirus cases.

frustrations continue to grow over the vaccine rollout. >> you need to get as many people vaccinated as possible. >> a final farewell from the first lady. >> always love over hatred, peace over violence, and others before yourself. >> a peaceful march to mark dr. martin luther king jr. day turned violent in new york city. all that -- >> kyrie irving has reportedly helped out the family of george floyd. irving bought floyd's family a house. >> and all that matters -- >> twitter says since banning president trump misinformation about election fraud is down 73%. i thought there would be some difference, but 73%. >> it's just a crazy coincidence. >> on "cbs this morning" -- >> increased security measures are paying off. this weekend, law enforcement arrested a woman claiming to be a law enforcement officer and part of the presidential cabinet. get your story straight, lady. you can't be both. you can't detain me. oh, you're going to be in big trouble when they find out you arrested police secretary of the interior james kirk president of

the enterprise. let me in! this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. >> and stephen colbert talks about how whack-a-doodle it has become. look at this white house. >> doesn't it look grand? >> it really does, guys, this is the last day of the trump administration. i wonder as we sit here and watch this, what they're thinking and feeling on the last day. i think some people don't want to leave and others are saying i can't wait. >> i'm ready to go, yeah. >> i am ready to go. that's where we're going to begin today with america one day away from getting a new president. the national mall in washington has been transformed for this occasion. you're looking at 56 pillars of light, illuminating 200,000 flags last night representing all 50 states and territories. >> regardless of how you voted, the inauguration is typically a time of hope for many. that's despite the heightened security in washington, d.c. right now. more than 20,000 national guard

troops are patrolling a tightly controlled security zone in our nation's capital. we've got a team of correspondents covering this unprecedented moment in american history and we're going to begin with jeff pegues on new threats of domestic terrorism. jeff, good morning to you. what do we know? >> reporter: good morning, and welcome to a heavily fortified washington, d.c. you can see it behind me, with this check point and the armed national guard here, ready to counter any potential violence. but you really get a sense of how tense the situation is here when you hear this intelligence that we're getting from the fbi. it says that members of the extremist group qanon have been chatt chatting online about the potential of posing as members of the national guard to get closer to the inauguration. cbs news has learned that federal investigators are focusing on extremist groups

that may have cope scoped out the capitol for the assault january 6th. on monday, police arrested jessica watkins, 38 and 50-year-old donovan crowl, seen in photos inside the capitol during the riot. law enforcement also arrested 22-year-old riley june williams of pennsylvania after she was on the run from authorities. court papers allege williams took a laptop or hard drive from house speaker nancy pelosi's office when she stormed the capitol. a former romantic partner told the fbi that williams intended to send the device to a friend in russia who then planned to sell the device to sbr, russia's foreign intelligence service but the transfer fell through for unknown reasons. thousands of national guard troops are patrolling the city. the fbi is now vetting all guard members even though acting defense secretary christopher miller said there's no intelligence indicating an insider threat.

meanwhile, police shut down the capitol complex yesterday due to reports of a nearby explosion but it turns out it was a small fire blocks away. >> it's as vulnerable as the government ever gets but i think it's an important message to send. >> reporter: republican senator roy blunt who chairs the congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies told cbs evening news anchor and managing editor norah o'donnell an inauguration is always an event to be concerned about. >> the people here create a target that you normally wouldn't have. i think we've made this as safe as we can make it and with as much freedom as you would expect and security as you would want to have. >> reporter: senator blunt also told norah in that exclusive interview that he believes 1,000 people made it into the capitol building on january 6th. he also says if on his last day in office president trump decides to pardon any of those people, it would be, quote,

disastrous. >> yes, thank you, 1,000, that's a lot higher than originally thought. president-elect biden spent part of martin luther king jr. day volunteering at a food bank in philadelphia. he's already got a packed agenda for his first day in office tomorrow as he inherits leadership of a nation in crisis. senior white house correspondent weijia jiang is in wilmington, delaware, confirmation hearings for joe biden's cabinet begin this morning, what's the latest? >> good morning to you, anthony. protect biden may have to begin his term with a team of all acting, not permanent cabinet members. that's because even though today the senate confirmation process begins for five of his nominees, they may not be approved by tomorrow. meanwhile, mr. biden is still tweaking his inaugural address and says speech writing is going well. cbs news got an inside look at the inaugural platform and the view from president-elect

biden's lectern where he will deliver the most important speech of his career. louisiana congressman cedric richmond will serve as a top adviser in the west wing. >> i think he's going to share his vision for the country. he's the president for all of america and he's going to govern that way. >> reporter: to govern, mr. biden will need a team. today, senate confirmation hearings will start for five of his cabinet picks to lead the departments of state, treasury, defense and homeland security, along with the director of national intelligence. in her opening remarks obtained by cbs news, secretary of treasury nominee janet yellen will call for major financial actions now, to prevent a long-term scarring of the economy later. >> we were going into wednesday knowing that we're ready to do the work. >> reporter: the transition has been tense with far less coordination than usual between the trump and biden teams. and yet, another sign last night president trump issued a

proclamation that would lift covid-related travel restrictions for much of europe and brazil, places where the virus is still spreading. the biden administration quickly rejected the move. mr. biden's incoming press secretary tweeted the administration does not intend to lift these restrictions. in fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of covid-19. but today the president-elect is heading to washington after an event to send him off here in wilmington. then this evening, he will participate in a covid-19 event with 400 lights shining along the reflecting pool at the lincoln memorial to honor the some 400,000 americans who have lost their lives to the virus. gayle. >> that will be interesting to see that ceremony. we're also hearing about this, the president-elect's immigration plan. can you tell us anything about that?

>> reporter: yes, in his first days in office, the president-elect will introduce a plan that could if passed legalize citizenship for millions immigrants who are living here currently without current status. he also plans to make it easier to seek asylum along the u.s./mexico border and pose a deportation moratorium and extend protections for so called dreamers. tony? >> i'll take it, thank you. >> oh. >> couldn't see you, weijia jiang. president trump still has all of the powers of the presidency, but this is, as we've been telling you, his last full day in office. ben tracy is at the white house with more on that part of the story. ben, what do we expect from the president today? >> reporter: gayle, good morning. two words for today, pardons and commutations. sources here at the white house tul tell us that president trump could issue up to 100 of them.

it's not exactly clear who will be getting them, but mr. trump's former aide steve bannon and rudy giuliani could be on the list. so far, president trump has actually used his clemency powers far less than president george w. bush or president obama who the day before he left office pardoned or commuted the sentences of 300 people. mostly with drug offenses. or with mandatory sentences. but unlike them the president says he has the power to pardon himself. that would be a controversial move and an admission of guilt that could anger senate republicans who are jurors in his impeachment trial. now we haven't seen president trump in public in more than six days, and since he's banned from twitter we've barely heard from him. now president trump is skipping all of the inauguration events. he will head to florida early tomorrow morning after a sendoff event at joint base andrews. the nuclear football that contains the codes to launch nuclear weapons, that will stay with president trump until noon, a separate suitcase will be here

in washington for president biden. >> ben, if the president pardons himself i think a lot of people will be saying pardon my french, thank you very much. we will bring you coverage of tomorrow's historic inauguration of president-elect joe biden and vice president kamala harris, beginning with a special "cbs this morning" from washington, and then a half hour primetime special one nation indivisible focused on what the change in leadership means for all of us here in america, tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m. eastern on cbs. now to the coronavirus pandemic, and the huge effort to vaccinate as many americans as possible, the reported death toll has reached 399,000 in the u.s., and it's almost certain to pass 400,000 later today. the latest cdc data shows less than half of all of available vaccine doses have been given to patients. states are working hard to change that. our lead national correspondent david deg naud is in lansing, michigan. david, how's michigan's

vaccination effort going? >> reporter: anthony, they've used about half their vaccines so far, that's the vaccines that they have received. sparrow health system here in the lansing area secured this old sears center. this is where you'd come to get your oil changed but this morning you drive up and get a covid test. tested over 100,000 people and starting today this morning they opened the two closest bays to where we are to start vaccinating people. first time they're doing it, right here. this is what's happening all around the country. hospital systems are finding whatever space they can find to get the job done. from amusement parks to arena parking lots, even livestock event centers, there are vaccine supersites popping up all over the country wherever there's room. cases and hospitalizations are on the decline nationally, but with more infectious variants spreading in at least 20 different states right now. don't expect cases to drop too low warns infectious disease expert michael osterholm.

>> i think this is why it's concerning why the race we have between the virus and the variants and the vaccine administration right now is so critical. >> reporter: getting the vaccine to underserved communities is also critical. and that's what dr. richard bates is doing here in michigan. usually twice a week, dr. bates loads a cooler full of vaccines in his pickup truck and drives 2 1/2 hours north to a hospital in rural alpena where they're immediately administered. that's because alpena doesn't have the freezers needed to store the vials. so from the moment he drops them off ththey have fiveve days to themem. >> i need d to be there for the clinic, it's my community, and i'll go. >> reporter: bates is a hospital administrator at mid-michigan health but before that he was an ob/gyn right here in alpena. after delivering babies for 25 years he says the joy of delivering vaccines is the same. >> seeing the look on people's' faces just like i did when i handed off newborn babies. you know, a baby that was hope

and dreams and all those sorts of things. so it's the same feeling. >> reporter: you know, there are still pockets of extreme spread around the country. take california. they've had 3 million cases thus far. in california, the l.a. area, they actually have their own variant. you've heard of the variant from the uk. l.a.'s got its own variant that is spreading like wildfire there. that is spreading like wildfire there. there are so many people dying just in los angeles county, gayle, that they actually relaxed their air quality restrictions so they could do more cremations than they're usually allowed to do. >> boy, david, very sorry to hear that. we're now joined by dr. ashish aja, thank you for joining us. >> good morning, gayle. thanks for having me on. >> glad to have you here. let's pick up where david left off about the vaccine. we can all agree it's been an

epic fail but as we move forward the biden administration, of course, wants to correct that. they're saying 100 million shots in the first 100 days. sounds very ambitious. do you think it's doable? >> you know, gayle, i do. i do think it's doable. i think what the biden team has laid out as a plan is somebody described it as maddeningly obvious. it's the federal government helping the states. it's getting more vaccine sites set up. i think if we do all of that i think we can do a million shots a day over the next three months. >> we were talking in david's report, saying they're going to set up a facility in a garage. is that okay with you? tony dokoupil said i'll take it i'll take it wherever, however. >> me, too. >> and anthony mason said the same. >> i'm with you guys. i feel like, look, we want to set it up anywhere it's safe to do so. you want to have a space where people can come and get their vaccine. i like the idea settin it up in

stadiums and in ghyms, all of that is great, as long as we make it accessible to the american people. >> as we sit here today, less than half the vaccine doses shipped have been administered. why is that happening? and how do we close the gap? >> yes, i think first of all, things are starting to get better. i think the reason is there was no federal planning whatsoever, basically, they gave the vaccines to states. the states didn't have any resources, didn't have much in the way of planning. states are starting to figure it out and starting to get going i think we'll see this ramp up even further once the federal government gets involved. and helping states. >> when do you think that the vaccine will be available for everybody? >> that's a great question, gayle. yeah, i will. i think the majority of americans will start seeing it available to them in april or may if everything goes well. okay just, that could slip to june. i think by summertime, anybody

that wants a vaccine should be able to get one. >> i just want to hear any date. before, we had none. do you make of the new strains that we're hearing about? are you concerned about them? >> i am actually concerned about them, certain, the uk variant concerns me because it's so much more contagious and it's going to end up dominating the infections in the united states. so, we have a real race right now. these variants are starting to take off across the country. and our job is to get as many people vaccinated and protected as possible before those variants become dominant and affecting other people. >> dr. ashish aja, thank you for your time today. ahead what people are saying about president trump's upcoming move to mar-a-lago, why his

constitution. >> we learned that in elementary school. >> and we forgot it. >> first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> this checkpoint in the armed national guard here ready to counter any potential violence. >> president-elect biden may have to begin his term with a team of all acting, not permanent cabinet members. >> two words for today, pardons and commutations. sources here at the white house tell us president trump could issue up to 100 of them. >> there are still pockets of extreme spread around the country. take california. they had 3 million cases thus far. >> 100 million shots in the first 100 days. sounds very ambitious. do you think it is doable? >> it is basic public health. it is the federal government helping the states. i think if we do all of that, i think we can do a million shots a day. >> his name is mckinley, he's color blind and never knew what he was missing until his friends gifted him special color blindness glasses for his 22nd

birthday. >> what? what? >> his genuine and endearing reaction to the glasses which he says changed his life immediately went viral online. >> that is so crazy! this is so crazy! >> i love that story. i think everything looks better in color. >> when you get your color tv finally. >> exactly. >> didn't work for you. >> i tried them. i have a slight color blindness, it is not as radical as some, but didn't work for me. >> i'm wearing maroon. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> appreciate that. >> we're going to begin with this. today marks the final full day in office for president trump as we prepare for the inauguration of joe biden. cbs news has learned the fbi is focusing on paramilitary and extremist groups that may have trained for an insurrection. it is also monitoring radicals who could try to pose as national guard troops. today, we're expecting a wave of presidential pardons and sources

tell cbs news that president trump could hand down as many as 100 pardons and commutations. >> the confirmation process begins for five of joe biden's cabinet picks. and there are hearings for his nominees to lead the departments of state, treasury, defense and homeland security. and also for the director of national intelligence. as for mr. biden's inauguration, a field of flags could be seen lighting up the national mall last night, really gorgeous picture. 56 beams of light were illuminated, marking our 50 states and territories. and nearly 200,000 american flags were placed there as well, representing those who cannot attend because of the pandemic. >> that's a beautiful sight. we're joined by valerie jarrett, she's attended two presidential inaugurations. valerie, good morning, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, good morning to you all. >> this is certainly going to be a very different inauguration, given covid and the security precautions. do you have any concerns about

safety at the capitol for the inauguration? >> i had the opportunity to work with the secret service for all eight years of president obama and vice president biden's term and there are no more professional competent men and women i know. i'm confident they'll do everything possible to keep people safe. >> conspicuously absent at this inauguration will be the outgoing president. it is first time an outgoing president has skipped an inauguration in 152 years. what sort of message do you think that sends to the world? >> well, anthony, there has been nothing conventional about this president since day one. so i don't think it should come as any surprise to anyone that he would also not continue with the tradition of showing this smooth transition of power as you know he didn't cooperate early on with the transition. he has yet to acknowledge that joe biden will be the next president. and so it is really no surprise and i think what is refreshing,

though, is that in one day we will have new leadership in america, and that's a reason for the rest of the world, particularly our allies around the world, to be overjoyed. >> valerie, how important, though, do you think are those traditions? i remember very vividly when michelle and barack obama stood outside the white house and welcomed the trumps and, listen, there doesn't seem to be any love lost between those two families at the time because donald trump said nasty things about barack obama, michelle obama wrote in her book how she felt her family was in danger because of donald trump, but they welcomed them very graciously to the white house at that time. how important are these traditions for americans to see, that we are -- that it can be peaceful and should be peaceful? >> yeah, it is a good question, gayle. i was actually there that day, and it was excruciatingly painful. i remember as the obamas said good-bye to the house staff, people who had taken such good care of them over the years, many of them older and black who had lived to see a black

president and first lady and the relationships there, and i saw how incredibly gracious president and mrs. obama were to the trumps. and you're right, they weren't happy about the occasion, but they rose to the occasion and that's what you're supposed to do. we lead by example here in this country. so those traditions are very important, they symbolize the strength of our democracy. but we will move on, and i think beginning and midday tomorrow you'll see a whole new tone from our new president and vice president. >> where do you stand on the question of to impeach or not to impeach? some people are saying, good-bye, good riddance, let the healing begin, let's all move on, and others say, no, no, no, not so fast, there should be people should be held acco account accountable, by people, i mean donald trump, and to have healing you need accountability. where do you stand on this question? >> well, what's good about the biden administration is its

ability to multitask and i think what president-elect biden said is he's going to focus on the american people, tackling the covid, rebuilding our economy, reversing many of the delatourious actions that president trump took including the muslim ban, giving certainty to the dreamers, rejoining the climate accord, rejoining the world health organization, putting science back in our efforts, so he will move forward on that effort and then i think it is up to the senate to decide when they move forward with the trial, and i think it is not just about holding president trump accountable for inciting a riot in an attempt to overthrow our government, and the smooth transition of power, but it is also a message to everyone who follows in his footsteps about what is acceptable behavior and what is not. >> at the same time, valerie, it can be a very disruptive and very divisive event. at the beginning of an administration, which is trying to get off on a strong foot and deal with a -- an escalating

covid crisis. there is a delicate balance there now, right? >> well, of course there is a delicate balance. i think it is going to be up to the leadership and the senate to make sure, for example, anthony, that president biden's cabinet is confirmed, that needs to happen swiftly, given the magnitude of the challenges that we're facing and at the same time as they're conducting a trial. they'll have to do two things at once. it is a very challenging time, but the house has already moved forward with its impeachment, and so it will be up to the senate to have a trial, and they would hopefully do it as expeditiously as thoroughly and as transparently as possible because the american people will be watching. >> american people, the world is going to be watching as you know. history will be made, kamala harris and chief justice sonia sotomayor who is going to be giving her the oath, justice sotomayor will be holding the bible when kamala harris takes the oath. that's going to be quite a sight to see. >> yes, it will, gayle. i have goosebumps just when you mention it. the first woman, first person of

color as vice president, oh, my gosh. tune in, everybody. >> yes. thank you, valerie jarrett. we'll see you tomorrow. major garrett reflects on four years of covering president trump. what does he think donald trump's enduring legacy will be? but, first, it is 8:09,

ahead, the talk lately about the constitution and what it says about elections and the transfer of power, we wanted to

car. the upset mom learned her lesson. >> when we think we're just running in for a second. this is just a perfect example of letting our guards down and how terribly it could have ended. so i am thankful that he's okay. it was so stupid and i'll never do that again. but it's a split second decision that could just change anything. >> crystal, i feel for you you don't beat yourself up. your son is okay. lesson learned. the boy is not hurt. the police are still searching for the car. the reason why this resonated with me, back in the day, at a 7-eleven, it was cold. the kids were in the car. i didn't want to turn off the car. i could see them the whole time. the police said what she did was not a crime, she was in sound

look a bit different than other inaugurations in recent years. we know that president-elect joe biden will deliver a speech from the traditional spot at the capitol. we've seen that. but the crowds will be replaced by a sea of flags. we have never seen that. then he's going to travel to arlington national cemetery with three former presidents before returning for a very scaled-down parade. chip reid looks at how inaugurations have changed over the years. >> i john fitzgerald kennedy. >> i george herbert walker bush -- >> reporter: it's a moment that focuses the attention of the nation. >> congratulations. >> the exact moment when the president-elect finishes that oath, he's the president of the united states. and the previous president is simply a citizen. >> reporter: presidential historian doris kearns goodwin says even without ccustomary cr.

president to come to his successor's inauguration, what it symbolizes is that he's accepting that this has happened. to not do it, i think, is really leaving a blank in democracy, and really hurting the exercise of this extremely wonderful moment. >> reporter: and also missing this time is what usually happens behind the scenes. >> there were visits of the families to the white house. letters have been exchanged on the last day of the presidency. the wayside. >> reporter: as a former vice president, joe biden has been part of the pageantry before. and while his event will look different, his words will still carry historic significance. what do you think he needs to learn from previous inaugurations? >> all of those great inaugural addresses were not just the leaders saying this is what i'm going it do. they're asking the country to

respond. and i think it's that linkage that he has to make because that's what inauguration is. it's a new leader taking office. but it's the citizenry that is looking, perhaps, for a new beginning. >> reporter: the last president who refused to attend the inauguration of his successor was andrew johnson, 152 years ago. and president trump and andrew johnson have one other big thing in common. they are two of the three presidents to be impeached, anthony. >> maybe that's not a note in history you want to be aligned with, chip, thank you very much. you can hear more of chip's conversation with presidential historian doris concerns goodwin on the podcast. stay with us
