7:00 am
right here, right now in washington the first comments from the cdc as they give the final okay in a critical turning point on vaccines. health officials are seeing it live on the right side of your screen as the agency gets ready to sign off on the pfizer
7:01 am
vaccine nap approval could come within hours. what it means for the fight against covid with another 17 million americans soon to be vaccine eligible. we'll be live with that key committee coming up as a thumbs up or thumbs down. it is one of several key hearings that we're watching on a busy tuesday morning. the gop leader picking up pressure to boot liz chainy, his stunning new letter and the details on what to expect in the next 24 hours. dozens of palestinians killed, they are now activating military reservists. adam schiff joins me with more on that and more.
7:02 am
dr. jose romero is joining me. also secretary of arkansas's department of health, chris, let me start with you. we expect that hearing with the cdc director to begin, but fill us in on the developments on the kids as young as 12 that could be vaccinated. and so. parents are saying what does this mean for schools? >> i think we're going to start to see on thursday the pictures of 13-year-olds get vaccinated. and the president of the american federation of teachers said listen, we expect that by september, by the beginning of the school year in the fall, we could have 100% of schools open. now there are a couple hurdles
7:03 am
37. you're going to hear a lot from officials today. so will the members of the american academy of pediatrics. they're going to startshiping vaccines directly to the pediatricia offices. we're seeing schools and communities get involved. they could be going around to get kids vaccinated. that is why i'm here in times square. new york city has had pop ups to try to get people to come get vaccinated where they are. now they're promoting this in places like times square. central park, high line, opening
7:04 am
up pop ups, they could get vaccinated and it is critically important. it is a huge part of the economy. there is 400,000 jobs. they are coming in, and last year because of the pandemic and this year they're hoping they can get a little over half of that record. all of that really ties, they believe, to getting people where they are whether or not they're kids or adults, that will all be part of expanding where we are right now. >> thank you, as we keep an eye on that hearing room, i want to
7:05 am
key an eye on you. you meet tomorrow to consider recommending the vaccine for the 12 to 15-year-old age group 37 is that different from what you do for adults? >> we look at the same data. that is the safety and the efficacy and then we make a decision from there. >> are you looking at things like how to communicate potential side effects? a waiting period, et cetera? >> yeah, all of that will go into a document that will be produced immediately following the acip hearing. the recommendations to the parents to get this vaccine, and
7:06 am
we'll all be available in a mmwr that should be published by friday. that is the official communication from the cdc. >> you talk about recommendations to parents. talk about that and what your message would be to parents to dmids certain age groups. we know that cases are not as prevalent in this younger population. how do you get over the hump, if you will. >> first, the first thing i would point out is that this is a safe vaccine. we'll look at the data tomorrow. it is an effective vaccine, and so it is a vaccine worth taking today. the number of children that are
7:07 am
comprising the cases are increasing. they're making a larger number of the jijing being affected. and it's not benign. we know it can have complications like multi-system inflammatory syndrome. there are descriptions now in the literature of children having long covid. that is covid symptoms that persist for months afterwards. >> do you believe they should mandate the vaccine in your opinion? >> i think the american academy of pediatrics and the acip need to look at this to see if it is necessary. but at this moment it is not mandated. each state will make a decision and i'm hopeful that parents will accept it and school districts will ask for it. >> very quickly looking at some of the cdc guidance that less than 10% of the guidance is
7:08 am
happening outdoors. they say that is very misleading saying it is a much smaller amount. the cdc is struggling to communicate effectively, are they communicating anything well as that guideline. >> there is risk in every activity. the recommendations for the cdc are geared to decrease that risk to a minimum and i think we need to try to bring this pandemic in the united states under control as fast as possible if that includes a mask outside when you're not vaccinated, that is appropriate. >> appreciate your time, doctor. tomorrow, lawrence o'donnell will sit down with president joe biteen on how to get every american vaccinated. he will be joined by dr. anthony fauci. all of them answering kwis from
7:09 am
the audience. that's tomorrow night at 10:00 eastern. we're going to keep monitoring all of the hearings. there is also something new on the top of the agenda for republicans. the leadership vote expected less than 24 how shalls from now. liz cheney's position is on the line. they are now trying to remove her with this extraordinary new letter. also with us is jake sherman. what do you think will unfold later today. the wheels will be put into action on this thing.
7:10 am
>> and house republican leader kevin mccarthy was out with an incredible letter encouraging his members to remove her from her position in leadership. he said they should anticipate a vote on wednesday morning, of course that is something we have been expecting for over a week now. that meeting is going to happen behind closed doors in what is expected to be a secret ballot where members will vote on whether or not liz chepy should remain in her position. in that letter mccarthy argues they need to look forward to the midterm elections and stop looking backward. a lot of allies say the only person looking backward is the former president donald trump who is trying to relitigate the last election. they also argue that embracing the former president is only
7:11 am
going to lose republican voters not expand the big tent that mccarthy insists that he wants to encompass, but senator mitt romney who has been a supporter of liz cheney says the big tent of the republican party has become a pup tent if they continue to embrace the former president. >> look at what i'm hearing. a potential replacement, because listen, stefanik had a bit of her own evolution here. she was openly praising liz cheney not that long ago. >> i was proud to nominate you as our conference chair. the highest chair and we think you're a huge asset in that role. >> any rumblings that you're hearings of a potential revolt there? to me it sounds like the timing to fill that spot, once cheney
7:12 am
seems to be is ousted is still up in the air. >> ye, the conservative belly aching is mostly just that. any of these could feel free to get this race, right? they could challenge her if they don't believe that she is up to muster, but that's not what this race is about in is a contest about who is willing to stop talking about trump, it's about nothing else. liz whenny feels like she has a responsibility, a duty, a moral obligation to speak out against the former president. elise says she doesn't feel like she needs to speak out against him and that's it. that's as complicated as it gets. we reported, i think yesterday, that she locked up two thirds.
7:13 am
of the republican conference if cheney is ousted. that's enough to one her this race. we have not seen any entrance into this race. there will be a candidate forum that stefanik will have to answer questions from the rank and file, i don't think it will be a big blow up and she will move to an election at the end of the week or early next week. republican leadership is eager wrap this up, i would not be surprised if it is this week. >> there is a huge thing that congress is facing, is this going to wakt that or not so much? >> not so much. they can decide if they would like to parties patt in anything, so far they have not been interested in legislating.
7:14 am
>> kevin mccarthy going to the white house tomorrow as well. a big 24 hours for you as well. we'll see you tomorrow on msnbc reports. also here on capitol hill, a big show down on voting rights. a hearing getting a lot of high profile tension. senators mcconnell and schumer both there, plus our in-depth look at vaccine hesitancy in the military and what the navy's top doctor is telling me about whether or not he thinks the shot should be made mandatory. has adam schiff and who else might be vulnerable. that's next. ulnerable. that's next. in with us... our bargain detergent couldn't keep up. turns out it's mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone. daughter: slurping don't pay for water. pay for clean.

7:18 am
this morning you have the
7:19 am
colonial pipeline held up, gas shortages are happening in six different states including in north carolina where some gas stations have run out of fuel. the governor declaring a state of emergency. two daily flights from american airlines now forced to add fuel stops. the fbi confirms who is responsibility already. cyber criminals known as darkside that are part of a russian gang. >> so far there is no evidence based on our intelligence salespeople that russia is involved but there is evidence that the actors, the ransomware, is in russia. >> i'm joined now by congressman adam schiff, thank you for joining us, welcome back to the show. >> thank you. >> i understand you have been
7:20 am
briefed and what can you share with us from that briefing? >> we're getting information from the fbi and the intelligence community. there's not much more than a can share. it's a known actor out of russia, and from my own perspective, russia has the ability to shut people like this down if they choose to. i think they have responsibility here even if they're not endaged in the conduct themselves and you can often tell where they're based when you look at who their victims are and when countries are excluded from the list of victims, and the fact that they know if they were to cross the host government they could be shut down, so there is some responsibility here. so we will scour the internet e internet to see what degree of culpability the russian government has.
7:21 am
if it goes beyond the tolerant of the actors operating from their soil. >> if it goes beyond that do you believe there should be a punishment for russia? >> i think ultimately we have to hold nations accountable for what cyber criminals do on their soil. particularly if they have the ability and the capacity to shut them down and they don't. i think country to country there is a different relationship between some of the criminal states and the dangs. in north korea it may be closer than in some other countries. so i think we'll have to work with allies to figure out what is the response collectively because the victims are going on around the world. here at home we will have to do a better job protecting ourselves. years ago i worked on legislation to try to require companies that provide critical infrastructure like this one to increase their safety standards,
7:22 am
but we could not get an agreement for that. >> i want to talk about the domestic piece of this, just to put a fine point on this on your assessment is there any way that russia, that the attack could have happened without russia given a green light? without a governmental green light on this one? >> i'm going to wait to learn more about this particular attack and this particular group, but i think it's clear that some cyber criminals work with the indug jens of the government. and sometimes as a closer relationship with the government where they are working hand in hand with cyber criminals. i think at times it is true in china and north korea and perhaps wrels. so i will reserve judgment but we need to hold them accountable. >> you know that experts for a long time have been warning of like a cyber pearl harbor, if
7:23 am
you will. is this anything other than a massive failure by the u.s. government, including congress? >> i think it is a collective failure of the government and the private sector. the private sector has understood for a long time. it resisted having the government regulate with standards. we were not able to get that legislation passed years ago and that could have helped. it is a collective failure and i worry about more critical infrastructure. if you look at the attack on the financial system, and criminals were able to make it a possibility to see if they have savings in their savings or checking, what kind of mayhem there could be. so there is all kinds of critical infrastructure and we really need to up our game. this has been going on for years. years ago a hospital in my district told me their data was
7:24 am
ransomwared and the fbi said if you want your info again you better pay them. >> you had marco rubio saying companies should be required to report if they're hit with a ransom ware attack. do you agree? i absolutely agree. there needs to be accountability and if the companies can hide their lapses in social security, and it is often at their customers mercy, then yes it should be reported. and i think that companies need to share the liability for these problems. and there is going to need to be a real reckoning here and we're going to have to up our defensive gains here. nation state actors and sophisticated cyber criminals are stealing billions from the
7:25 am
united states. >> before i run out of time, i want to ask about a couple other topics. we learned this morning there was perhaps movement on that that speaker pelosi deputized chairman thomas to try to negotiation what is left of this bill. do you expect any house republicans to get on board? what is your assessment of a potential time line of what happens on january 6th? >> i hope that republicans in the house have been on board. i know they have been working with chairman thomas on this and i hope they're getting close to question. they want to get this established and make sure they know what took place and have the right security in place in the future to try to protect the capital and also other institutions of our government and the personnel that work. so it will get done and it is been far too long. this bipartisan support,ly keep
7:26 am
my fingers crossed that maybe question get a bill as soon as this week. >> i want to ask you about something we're going to look at together. we're going to speak out more forcefully against israel. for instance, rishida talib said this. >> that needs to be said, i have yet to hear anyone from the biden administration declare that. >> what do you think the responsibility of the administration is right now? >> well, look, i think we need to be engaged to bring about a sussesion of violence. i think there was a casual attitude toward the willingness to help the parties get to yes. so i know they're engaged, they
7:27 am
need to be engaged. we have an indispensable role to bring the parties together for a peaceful resolution. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you again for being on the show and requester your time this morning. there is violence escalating in the middle east. there are new air strikes on gaza today. more on who else the president is demanding step in. and the president immediating with governors from both parties today. we're checking back in on that hearing on the hill. we're going live to the white house, next. o the white house, next. ♪

7:34 am
shot, for others it's like buy -- biological body armor. >> over 40% of the navy has been vaccinated already, but the latest numbers available show more than a third of all marines offered the vaccine have declined. that's a higher hesitancy rate than estimates for the rest of the country. >> some individuals decided they want to wait and see. and so for those fence sitters we're now beginning to see those individuals come and get the vaccine. so i think we're seeing a positive trend. >> the navy says some of those who declined may have gotten the vaccine on their own or might be waiting until the shot becomes mandatory. for now it's not with the vaccine still under emergency use authorization. >> we still believe that the right foe discuss to provide the best information available and this will help our troops to make and form decisions. craig, asking president
7:35 am
biden about it in his exclusive interview last month. >> will you order service members to get the vaccine. >> i don't know. i think i will leave it to the military. >> according to the numbers about 30% of the military has been vaccinated. more than 600,000 troops across all branchs and more than a quarter of a million more have had the first shot. now, with team rubicon he is helping them mobilize vaccination sites. >> the potential for covid-19 to knock you out of the fight is there. anded admiral say it's is critical to make sure it is available. >> do you see a point where this vaccine should be mandatory?
7:36 am
>> i think we have seen it is very safe and so i think there is a strong argument to be made for that and that is ultimately the secretary of defense's decision. >> do you believe things were trending in the right direction? >> i'm cautiously hospital mystic that we're turning the corner but we cannot take our foot off of the gas. >> it would not be unprecedented, right, for the military to make a vaccine mandatory president they have that emergency tlorgs from the fda, not full approval. that could happen soon. you have pfizer that filed for that full approval. if you see more vaccines get that you can expect the mandatory vaccinations to pick up. we're also talking about vaccine hesitancy at the white house. the white house says they be
7:37 am
talking about best practices coming as the administration reveals that one million people have signed up for the affordable care act. kristin welker is over at the white house. you have a 70% of adults partially vaccinated, what do we expect to see out of that? >> i think the focus is on best practices. how to reach that benchmark and here is where things stand right now. here is the big picture. about 54% of adults got at least one dose. and those that have been vaccinated is 44%. they not at that 70% just yet. so they will be meeting with various covers to talk about ways to reach people in those
7:38 am
hard to reach areas. some of these governors are getting very creative. in maine, you get a free fishing and hunting license and free endrans to state parks. minnesota is partnering with the state's husband limb community to try to reach a broader group of people to get them vaccinated. utah has a get back campaign to boost confidence. so they have already tried to get creative. the question becomes how do they reach the enmuch marks? how do they know they are reaching that 70% that the president laid out. this comes against the backdrop of within million people getting and enrolling in the aca. they gethe piece of mind of health insurance for special

7:46 am
personal mission to kill this bill. what they're planning is a series of changes to the house passed version that gives states more time and flexibility to implement portions of the bill like automatic voter registration. there are dozens of states that will need more time and they're same day registration mandates that they worry won't be able to do in time and in the manner prescribed in a manner. there is a 15 day ruling out jurisdictions and those that mail in ballots to everyone. it's things like that that democrats are doing based on feedback and they urged republicans to accept those amendments and come on board and it's highly unlikely they will. >> this thing could go for hours, right? >> hours and probably days. we're unlikely to get a final resolution today and it could be

today expected to be an emotional day for the family of a black man killed in a confrontation with police last month. with the family of andrew brown set to see part of the police body camera footage showing what happened outside his home. nbc's kerry sanders is in elizabeth city for us. and, kerry, there's nearly two hours of video altogether, but the family is only going to see about 20 minutes of the footage, right? >> reporter: that's right. and the judge said the reason they will only be able to see about 20 minutes is they're going to be able to see the portions of the video which are perhaps the hardest to watch and that is andrew brown being shot and killed. there are four body camera videos and one dash cam video. the family will enter here to begin looking at those in about four hours from now.
7:52 am
