yasmin?all right, dr. blackstock, let's get into this and i think a lot of folks just really need clarity on this new variant or as much clarity as the professionals can give us because i know not a lot is known right now. i think one of my first questions is, what do we know about the people that have tested positive for this new variant? were they vaccinated? were they priorly infected by another covid variant? do we know any of this information as of yet? >> hi, yasmin. thank you so much for having me. what we know so far is in south africa and specifically in johannesburg, the people who have been infected with this variant are mostly young and mostly unvaccinated. i think about between 75% and 80% of them were unvaccinated. another concern is that there seem to be a few cases of reinfection with this variant. so, that's obviously another concern. what was noted was a rapid increase over a short period of time of people being infected with this particular variant, so there's concern for i

>>> good afternoon, everybody, i'm yasmin vossoughian. we are following news on a number of fronts this hour. at least eight dead at a concert stampede in texas. the president seizing on momentum hailing the passage of a bill that will send hundreds of millions of dollars to americans in all 50 states. >>> but he's also keeping up the pressure to pass another massive part of his economic agenda. >>> plus, the january 6th committee threatening action after a key trump figure turns a deposition into a circus. >>> and then you got aaron rodgers playing defense in a rambling and fact-challenged explanation about why he misled the public about his vaccine status. more on that ahead. >>> but i do want to start with some breaking news just in to msnbc. a federal appeals court has issued a stay, freezing the president's plan to require u.s. companies with more than 100 employees to require covid vaccines or weekly testing. the mandate was set to go into effect in the beginning of january. joined now by msnbc legal analyst maya wiley for more on t

here's my biggest concern, yasmin.someone who said donald trump won't win the republican nomination in 2015, in 2016 i said he couldn't be president, in 2020 i worked as hard as i could to defeat donald trump and now i sit here and i keep thinking that based on history, based on numbers that we see, it is likely that the republicans will take control of the house. there's a very good chance. just historically. what happens when kevin mccarthy or anyone else becomes speaker? we're not talking about fringe people anymore. these are people who run agendas. this scares the heck out of me. they run those agendas. they will be the ones saying hello, not nicely, will try and strip someone -- a democrat of their committee positions, and then we have no one involved in governance. and that's what i really hope this country wakes up to see is that right now, what's on the line is marjorie taylor greene and a whole cast of characters that are a danger that will be in a true leadership position. do not look at them as fringe. they

yasmin? type of delays are you seeing, if any, at this point, kathy, up here at laguardia as we talk about this kind of trickle effect? anything yet? >> reporter: well, the -- you know what? i honestly haven't had the chance to see the impact it's having here at laguardia but at last check, it looks like there are about a dozen or so -- at least a dozen or so delays at atlanta itself. >> got it. all right, want to bring back jay blackman. that you know, kathy, by the way. want to bring back jay blackman to talk more about this. and you were just walking us through the details of what we're learning at this hour, and we now know atl airport has given the all clear. flights can get up and going. passengers can return to what they were doing earlier. of course, i'm sure there's a sense of still a little bit of kind of nervousness for passengers to return to the airport, despite the fact that they know this was an accidental discharge. that being said, anything more we're learning from authoritie

yasmin? >> scott cohn for us.to alter safety guidance and destruct that could be seen as political interference. dr. kavita patel. thank you for joining us on this. let me start with what we're learning about the trump white house and the cdc as well. so repeatedly, you have here undermining the agency's covid planning efforts, political reporting this. white house adviser scott atlas encouraged to steer the federal response away from the cdc. what is your reaction to that? >> not surprised at all and this is just the tip of the iceberg. that came out from that congressional testimony, incredibly compelling. i read all of it because it felt like i was reliving and these are people that i knew and had worked with personally and i was hearing bits and pieces of well, we're not allowed to do that or i'll get in trouble if i say that. i thought, that's crazy. these are cdc career staff and that was validated in what we saw in the coverage from the testimony. i truly believe so much more will come out and at some point

yasmin? >> all right. thank you for that. >>> democrats definitely needing the wins right after tuesday's election results. which pointed to startling problems with rural white voters. exit polling from virginia showing while republicans won rural virginia by 6 points in 2020 youngkin won by 27 points a year later and ate away at the progress democrats had made under trump in virginia's suburbs. with me now is robert gibbs, fortunatelier press secretary for the president obama administration. in the leadup to the virginia election, right, we talked a lot about the key virginia suburbs that biden managed to clinch in 2020 and mcauliffe had to hang on to those and obviously he wasn't able to do that. you take a look at the numbers in virginia. it is not looking good coming the democrats. if we look at the 2008 presidential race, republicans won only four counties with 70% or more of the vote. compare that to the 2021 gubernatorial race. youngkin won 45 counties with more than 75% of the vote. 15 won with mor

yasmin, look.ink the attorney for the family said whether the police had done their job in the first instance coming across kyle rittenhouse with a semiautomatic rifle breaking curfew and handing him a bottle of water saying thank you. i think that's the first breakdown rather than saying are you legally able to carry that gun here? the way it really started in this history of the country was supposed to be starting as it did in england where you had a duty to run away first. right? to say, i'm not going to stand my grounds and why you're not supposed to provoke the incident where you say i was defending myself. this is what the prosecution did. if you provoke the situation that causes you say you had a right to shoot the gun you didn't. that's what we have seen the breakdown and a historic breakdown and happened in many states and that's why in the ahmaud arbery trial we see the prosecution have to deal with the fact that the citizens' arrest laws and came up as a result of the end of slavery to t

i'm yasmin vossoughian. we've been following this breaking news throughout the hour that kind of broke for us around 1:30 this afternoon with shots ringing out in atlanta area airport, atlanta hartsfield international airport at a tsa checkpoint. an individual going through that checkpoint, something was discovered in their bag. they subsequently were taken aside for their bag to be searched. at that point, there was the discovery of the firearm. the individual then, through a discussion, reached for their firearm, and the airport telling us it was an accidental discharge. we're still learning more details about that. that individual, it seems, then fled the scene in the other direction, obviously, into the public area of the airport, not to the secure area of the airport, and they're still on a search for that individual. we don't have an identity on who this person is. why they brought a loaded gun in their bag, in their carry-on bag at that. so we're learning more details about that. and obviously, it was

yasmin? >> yeah, we'll be continuing to monitor, obviously, that podium and see as folks approach it and as soon as it begins, we'll bring it to you live. for now, morgan, thank you. >>> i want to get to the breaking news out of washington as well where the president and his administration and much of congress is taking a victory lap after passing that $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. but the work is only half done. up next, that nearly $2 trillion build back better package and congress has given itself a new deadline to get it passed. nbc's gary grumbach is on capitol hill for us. gary, good to see you. first, the hard infrastructure deal passing, we heard from the president as well. but what are we hearing from congress? >> reporter: yeah, one vote down but so much more for congress to do and not a whole lot of time for congress to do it. we're talking now, the focus is on the human infrastructure bill. this is things like child care. this is things like paid family leave, money for clima

damien and yasmine and everyone for coming in . you've all preordered the book from politics and prose but here it is . and i said read it. so your book is a great read and all this these questions you guyspointed out for a new answer , harvey just wants to use this hour to have you see you all the amazing anecdotes in your book and i'm not going to do that. but there is one i wanted utto ask you about that has gotten a lot of attention already. basically you report president trump at one point suggested that these cruiseship passengers be sent to guantc -- infected. tells about that. >> this was something that jumped out at us for a couple of reasons. one back in february 2020 there was a lot of focus first on that diamond princess cruise shipoff the coast of japan . there were 500 or 600 passengers on the ship. a lot of americans on the ship, elderly americans so they were trying to figure out what to do and how to get them home. there was at the ustime 360,000 people on cruise ships around the world so there's a lot of people on

think about this, yasmin. on the very day a federal grand jury in washington, dc indicted steve bannon for two counts of contempt of congress. one for violating a subpoena for documents and a second for violating a subpoena for testimony on the very same day he's indicted, mark meadows commits the identical crime. he fails to appear for testimony. that crime is complete. i have to tell you, his lawyers might be urging him to try to call and make amends with the house select committee for failing to appear, but you can't undo that crime once it's been committed. now, that doesn't necessarily mean he will be voted in contempt, referred for prosecution and indicted but given this atmospheric precedent, that's what should happen next to mark meadows. >> i was speaking to david henderson in the last hour, gwen, and i asked him point-blank, do you think steven bannon will end up behind bars? and he said likely no. how do you see this thing playing out? how does bannon get out of this is this. >> so i'm going to say

i'm yasmin vossoughian with a lot going on this sunday afternoon. new cases of the new covid variant being reported in countries around the world. dr. peter hotez is joining me in a moment for his thoughts on the potential impact here. >>> congress reconvening tomorrow, with a massive to-do list that includes that huge build back better bill. >>> and the supreme court preparing for a hearing this week that could mean the end of roe v wade. >>> plus millions in the skies and on the roads in the busiest travel day of the year. we will have a live report on that. >>> we will have an amazing story of survival, a stowaway who made it through hours of subzero temperatures. that is ahead this hour as well. >>> we want to start with the breaking news that has much of the world on edge. more countries have been added to the list of places with the omicron covid-19 variant. australia denmark have been added in the past hours. all of those cases linked to travelers who arrived from south africa. with these new cases new travel restrictions as well. israel is s

when right at the end there's so much debate about yasmine, so wait, right? no. why is it that for you so much? yeah. ah, right. he's got he got us thinking, but i'm only going to give you guys one sentence. the future of digital mental health pay is what finished the sentence. some ya is a part of helping mental health be treated with the same complexity and nuance as physical health. aha, nicole finish the sentence is, is using it as a tool as a part of an existing system, and that needs to be restructured for more equity and access to the future of digital online mental health care. it's what ada, it's increasing all the problems of current mental health care, but at scale, and we have to be careful about redressing them only via the attack. oh my goodness . you guess i've spent so much good time with you so much good information. i wanna audience to find out where you are online, have a look at my laptop. this is hannah and nico and some yeah, i highly recommend you check them out online. thanks for watching. i will see you next time. take care everybody. ah.

thank you so much for having me, yasmin. the point of the piece to say from the moment kyle rittenhouse emerged in the public eye he was granted deference. he was welcomed by the police arriving. after he killed people at the protest the trump administration deferred to the excuse saying he was defending property rights. when the trial began the judge declined to allow the prosecution to call kyle rittenhouse's victims victims and then ultimately the results, a court, a jury affirmed the conservative warped imagination which says that progressive spaces are vie lint place and need to be policed by the police or anyone willing to stand in their way. >> you talked about an acquittal in the making. the case had the makings of an acquittal before the trial began. he is a white teen who abides by white rules and people and seemed poised to insulate him from repercussions. what benefited kyle here in the trial not only from the jury to the judge's behavior? >> sure. we know that in the conservative imagination progressive spaces a
