in fact, bringing her on the show causing a split between jada pinkett smith and her mom, cohost adrienneought it tooth and nail. i just found it really ironic that she chose three black women to reach out to for her redemption story. >> when i heard her story, it just reminded me of jade and willow and trey. >> it didn't remind me of them at all. >> it did for me. >> she essentially said that, i didn't know what the world was outside of living in mansions and getting everything paid for. but the fact that she wasn't aware of that prior to this whole experience is very problematic. >> when you come to the table with something like this, it's like, child, please. >> right. no, i get that. >> i'm exhausted. >> reporter: in march 2019, the u.s. attorney's office in boston charging 33 rich and powerful parents, accusing them of doling out over $25 million to this man, william rick singer, to help get their kids into some of the nation's most elite colleges. >> we believe everyone charged here today had a role in fostering a culture of corruption and greed that created an uneven playing field

adrienne, thank you very much for that reporting. so also developing this morning, congressional negotiations on the critical coronavirus relief package appear to be on the brink of collapse. sources tell cnn that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell sees no path for bipartisan agreement on two key sticking points, funding for state and local governments, which democrats are pushing for, and corporate liability protection, which republicans want. 12 million unemployed workers will lose aid by christmas if congress does not act by the end of next week. and desperately is growing across the country. food lines stretched for miles in cities like los angeles yesterday. new u.s. unemployment claims just hit their highest level since mid-september. >> while this is happening, the threat of a government shutdown looms over a separate short-term spending bill that will only fund the government through next week. they wanted to fund it short-term to reach this bigger deal, but even that might not work. the senate has until midnight tonight

adrienne, pete, thanks to both of you for your reporting. let me bring in a cnn medical analyst, an emergency department physician at brown university. dr. ranee, a very statement from the cdc advisory committee just a short time ago. somebody on that committee who voted in favor of this pfizer vaccine and the emergency use authorization said this. i'm really hopeful that this is the beginning of the end of the coronavirus pandemic. do you share that doctor's optimism? >> i sure do. you know, throughout this pandemic, we've heard a lot of claims of magical cures, whether it was hydroxychloroquine or bleach or just this virus was going to magically disappear. well, the vaccine is the real deal. so many diseases have been conquered in modern medicine thanks to vaccines. very few of us alive remember polio or smallpox. very few of us know someone who's had diphtheria or measles, and that's thanks to vaccines. now, the vaccine won't cure covid, but it will prevent it, and the statistics on this vaccine are so much better, ana, than any of us cou

i want to bring in adrienne jones, director of the pre-law program. and michael steele, former rnc chairman. michael, one of the takeaways of the night was senator loeffler declining to say that president trump lost the election. i mean, republicans seem to be stuck between having to claim this was rigged and, yet, need people to trust the system and get out and vote. i mean, do you think her refusal to say the president lost ultimately helps her get votes, or does it keep people away? >> i think it helps her with the base people who are with the president and with her. the question is, will that be enough to win a special election on january 5th? they have -- i mean, calling it conflicting messaging would be an understatement. it is just, you know, factually devoid. it is misleading. it is undermining the very goal of the georgia republican party. to turn out the vote in what is an election about the balance of power in the united states senate. the president, up until now, has told everyone that vote by mail is not good. now, they're trying to claim

adrienne broaddus, thanks very much. let's go to joe johns now at the white house. former presidents of both parties stepping up because the occupant of the house behind you will not -- is not -- he is not talking about it at all, continuing to spread lies on the election. is he doing anything about it? >> reporter: totally silent on t he hasn't addressed it at all. there's no mourning for the victims of this pandemic in the country on this most serious day and, in fact, there's nothing on the president's schedule that's even public. today the president apparently is going to meet behind closed doors at least so far as we know to give the medal of freedom to football coach lou holtz, he's also going to sign a piece of legislation that has to do with artificial intelligence in government, but that's about it. meanwhile, the one thing from time to time the president has been doing that relates to the pandemic is he's been trying to take full credit for developing vaccines when the fact of the matter is pharmaceutical companies did all the hard work and one of them, on

adrienne broaddus is at o'hare international in chicago. are you seeing many passengers there?orter: we have seen long lines throughout the morning. the security checkpoint in this terminal has been rocking all morning. this is the slowest we've seen it since about 4:00 a.m. this morning. i'm told by staff they're expecting another rush at 11:00 a.m. local time. this m comes as the tsa announced more than 1 million people passed through the lines yesterday, over the past week about 7 million people have been screened at security checkpoints. throughout the morning i've chatted with passengers asking where they're going and why. a lot it appears are dealing with pandemic fatigue. one woman said i need to escape and get away from the surrounding i've been around every day. so she said she and her friends are traveling to jamaica. she said she feels safe traveling to jamaica because that country requires a negative covid test on eventry. another high school student traveling with his dad needed to get away from where they were all the time. but they're listening to the advise of o

adrienne broaddus is at chicago o'hare international airport. what are the reasons for traveling?on what passengers told you in our last hour. >> reporter: there's one woman we talked about in the last hour who said she needs an escape so she's traveling to jamaica to meet up with friends. another family of five told me the pandemic forced them to cancel their vacation in march so they're making up for lost time. all of the travelers we spoke with today safe they are taking steps to remain safe and healthy, but you can do everything right, wear your mask, wash your hands, watch your distance but the risks are still high. and all of these people traveling is concerning, especially for top health officials as we watch the number of cases across the country climb. more than 19 million americans have been diagnosed with covid-19 and dr. anthony fauci fears the coming days could be pretty bad. >> we very well might see a post-seasonal in the sense of christmas, new year's surge. and as i've described it, as a surge upon a surge. because if you look at the slope, the incline of cases th

let's go to adrienne grobroaddu she's in wisconsin. and the vote goes on there. >> reporter: the ten electors gather here in wisconsin at the state capitol later this afternoon. what room they'll meet in we don't know. that's because the electors don't know what room they'll meet in. we learned moments ago they will be escorted by capitol police into the state capitol and they will have that significant vote in a secret room. this is an extra layer of security put in place because some of the presidential electors here have been receiving threats. just a sort time ago i spoke with kerry penbaker. he said at least three of the ten electors here in wisconsin are back. and he's concerned about the electors who look like him. he said he has received threats, those threats started almost immediately after joe biden became president-elect and he said no matter how many threats they get, they will continue to go on. erin? >> thank you very much. >>> and just in, states have instituted security protocols due to exactly what you heard ie degree

>> adrienne, thank you so much.urants like this one across the country are in desperate need of help, and many now are depending on the federal government to pass the coronavirus relief package. yesterday i spoke with the ceo of eureka restaurant group. he has had to lay off more than 1500 employees so far, and i asked him how it feels now to see this relief stalled. >> well, what i'd like to say is i don't want to bite the hand that feeds us, but we need relief, and we need it now, and we needed it frankly two months ago even as certain cities were closed. so we need the relief fast. we're going need more than even what's in the current bill, and we need it yesterday because, again, as you said, we've unfortunately taken a lot of people off the schedule and are not working in the holidays, and the guests want to dine at our restaurants, and we're trying to serve them the best way we can to go, but i would say just hurry up because every day that passes another smaller restaurant group similar to ours is shutting an

cnn's adrienne broaddus is live at chicago's o'hare international airport with more. how's it looking? >> hey, there, alisyn. somewhat busy this morning. a steady stream of folks behind me. that is the big question. what will this recent travel mean? the holidays looked a lot different for some families, but for others, they continued their similar traditions. flying for the holidays. tsa data shows nearly 7 million people passed through security checkpoints over the last week. and those numbers are concerning. here's why. right now, the u.s. has the most coronavirus cases in the world so far, topping nearly 13 million cases over the weekend. and top doctors warn, we could see some of the darkest days ahead. here's what dr. anthony fauci had to say. >> we very well might see a post-seasonal, in the sense of christmas/new year's surge. we described it as a surge upon a surge. because if you look at the slope, the incline of cases that we've experienced, as we've gone into the late fall and soon-to-be early winter, it is really quite troubling. >> reporter: and somethin

>> adrienne broaddus in chicago, thanks so much. just to state this one more time, the united states just recorded more deaths in one day than japan has the entire pandemic. in total. that is literally unbelievable to me when you look at those numbers. what we did in just one day compared to ten months in japan. how is the president marking the occasion? he's giving a medal to a football coach in an event closed to the press. that and giving specious about overthrowing the election. cnn's joe johns live at the white house this morning with more. joe? >> good morning, john. so we have this deadly mark of the most coronavirus deaths in the united states in a single day. the president remains silent on that. nonetheless, the president has tried to take credit for vaccine successes, even though pharmaceutical companies have done all the work. what the president did do yesterday is he released that 46-minute infomercial of a speech in which he detailed all of his lies and conspiracy theories about the election. we're not going to show yo
