ultimately, it backfires against mitchell palmer. there is -- the acting secretary of labor, named lewis post, and at that time, the department of labor is in control of ellis island and immigration. he's the one after the second raids occurred, he starts revealing the documentation and seeing how little evidence there was against all these different people. he starts releasing everyone and starts throwing all the cases out the window. j. edgar hoover and mitchell palmer were quite upset by this and they threatened to get congress to impeach him. but fortunately, he stood his ground and made a wonderful speech in congress and was kind of the hero of the day. and he's one of these unsung heroes, a person who stood for the rule of law rather than wholesale deportations for people who weren't convicted of any crimes, but simply were communist or socialist or whatnot. another major thing, why we also call this the red summer is because there were 25 race riots around the country that summer. this is the closest we've ever come to a race

anna palmer, senior washington correspondent for politico joins me as well. good to see you both. kelly, on a day when we report a record daily death toll, trump's tweets last night seemed to catch almost everybody off-guard. white house spokesman brian morganstern laying out why the president would sign the bill on fox business an hour early. so what are aides saying today? >> well, there is confusion. and only the president knows what he is willing to do at this point. and in part because of the holiday and because of the end of the term, there's not a lot of movement happening in the white house in terms of aides willing to talk about this. and you can't blame them, when brian morganstern who came forward and made the administration's case and then was immediately undercut by the president's video, produced inside the white house, and undercutting the republicans' position, and really throwing a wrench in all of this, it's hard to know where the president will land. now, he is expected to go to mar-a-lago, departing here at the white house later this afternoon. we may get a cha

elizabeth palmer has those details. >> this was the first shot in the uk's battle to vaccinate as many people are willing. starting with an initial 400,000 elderly and front-line medical staff. first up, the 90-year-old woman got a standing ovation. public officials are hoping her example will get at least 70% of britains to bear their arms. we asked london commuters this week if there on side. >> are you going to have the vaccine in. >> absolutely. why wouldn't you? >> you must be mad not to. >> among successes, there have been failures too. in australia and europe, they had to go back to the drawing board after the initial version produced disappointing results. but a global roll out of promising contenders are under way. in asia, a version made by the chinese sinovax is under way. this load arriving in indonesia which saw the highest number of covid deaths this week. russia is sharing its sputnik vaccine. it arrived in serbia and is in trial in brazil where they had one of the worst infection rates on earth. this is what the beginning of the end of the pandemic looks like but it wil

for the latest, i'm joined by anna palmer, seniowashington correspondent for politico.muha for being here, so we e this threaten veto, we also have the actual veto-of-the defense authorizeation bill but let's art with covid relief cause that's what so many americans are counting on. where does it std right now? >> it is really unclear what the president's end game is. he is now saying that he is going to veto it unless there is $2,000 in direct payments. but this really isn't about the substance of the bill. the president for months has not been an-- he has been negotiations, both republicans and democrats thought they had the deal, the white house asagreeing to it for the several days. both sides have been kind of gloating about the fact thate they were a get this done. and right now it's going right down to the wire.di government f runs out december 28th but some of these unemployment benefits en onsaturday. and so far the president isn't on the same page as republicans and nobody really knows what the >> woodruff: and it appears he is not on the same page as hiss own

joining us now, cnn political commentator, errol louis and ana palmer, a senior washington correspondento. this lawsuit filed by kim paxton who is under federal investigation, may he be seeking a pardon? i don't know. that aside, going to the supreme court, trying to overturn the election. the president doing it in public right now, with this lawsuit, which honestly, and you will hear from many lawyers over the next several hours, it's absurd. this is absurd. but that is where we are this morning. and i will also note, that is where people like mitch mcconnell have let us get to this morning. your thoughts. >> that's right, i read through the filing. it is extraordinary. absurd is a pretty good word to use. this is the president desperately trying to get into the supreme court. and they have kind of ginned up this notion that the state of texas and 17 other non-involved states can invalidate millions of votes that have already been cast in four critical states. and the pleading just lays it all out there and says that the entire point of the litigation and the remedy they're seeking from

joining us now, ana palmer, senior washington correspondent for politico and cnn political commentatorl louis, a political anchor for spectrum news. errol, i want to start with this massive breach for one second. because i know that i thought, and i'm sure i wasn't alone when the cybersecurity and infrastructure agency came out and said, this election was safe, we didn't have russian interference or other foreign actors. i thought, huh, i wonder why they gave up so easily. hmm, wonder if there is anything else that they were trying to do. the idea that tom bossert, the former national security adviser says that the russians have had access to a considerably number of vitally important and sensitive information -- networks for the past six to seven months. so, did we take our eye off the ball. i know none of us are national security experts, but should the cybersecurity and infrastructure agency have seen that one? >> well, they'll certainly need to answer some questions about what happened. was there a bit of simplistic sleight of hand, where we're all looking at the elections, and mea

, to this spring to covid-19 for 17 year, palmer served as a customs officer at new york's jfk airporta body builder, a foodie and in williams' words a protector. but by the end of march with palmer donning protective gear it screen passengers arriving from overseas, they wanted to protect him. >> i said i think this is a matter of life and death and he said i'll be good >> reporter: as the virussurge outside the u.s., the white house task force established the first line of defense at airports, assigning nearly 700 screeners from the departments of homeland kurt and health and human services to check international passengers for covid symptoms arriving from a growing list of companies. >> these prudent targeted and temporary actions will decrease the pressure on public health officials screening incoming travelers, expediting the processing of u.s. citizens and permanent residents, returning from china >> reporter: the only problem? it didn't work joe grogan led domestic policy until may. >> we weren't finding anybody, like zero people so it became pretty clear relatively quickly that

anna palmer, from politico, i want to talk to you know about what's next. the president didn't get anything here outside of a bunch of cable chyrons and a bunch of frantic tweets. no suggestion that the two houses of congress here going to make any changes to be the bill, despite what the president has sent back in his red line letter last night. >> yeah. i mean, trump got taken to the cleaners, based on a crisis of his own making. i think it's a real fitting coda for the trump presidency where you have basically a leader who didn't know washington, that was going to come in and change the way it worked and clearly that hasn't happened. you know, he created a crisis. republicans are no longer just falling in line behind him. and, you know, he never cared to really understand congress and that became very clear over the last four years and certainly in the last episode that he has -- just because he tweets things and his followers may support him that doesn't mean that that's what is actually going to happen in congress. even the $2,000 direct payment checks
