The table. It is a good thing that we have not seen anything like this. We should not be watching it now. Listening to you on the way here hearing an officer died on the line of duty because of an insurrection is Mind Boggling and even fathom. Members of the Law Enforcement community is starting their visitation and thats what they are doing now. I would imagine the president of the United States should be along soon. He arrived. We watched the motorcade. No, he has not visited but we saw the motorcade. Listen, i have been receiving words from Law Enforcement and even Law Enforcement with the Capitol Police and surrounding Police Department and they are happy that we are carrying this. This is an honor to them that we pay tribute to this fallen officer. So many officers were fighting for their lives on january 6th. We are endangered of losing their lives had they not exhibited such heroic effort to save the capitol. They did save a lot of lives inside that capitol, members of the senate, members of congress, and i think you pointed this out earlier. This is a Scene Of The Crime where he is laying in honor right now. The Scene Of The Crime where theyll be voting on impeachment for the president. It is surreal to think that we are actually watching this happening in our country at this moment. It is. As we await the president s arr arrival. Yep, as soon as he comes up well pay strict attention to it. I think that we always say, don, we are living in historic times and here is another never before, not since 1812 anyone dare tried to come to the hospital. Never before i have seen the same men and women being protected that this man gave his life pchlt we just had the congressional leadership came up and paid respect. I hope they remember what they hold so dear and solemn inside this room. We are not living the truth of january 6th. And we want to talk about that. I want to focus now for the moment on officer brian d. D. Sicknick. His family releasing a statement th tha thanking, hes laying in honor. Hes deserving of it. We have to remember the other officer as well. There was one officer who suffered a heart attack and brain injuries. He was fighting for his life and he heard people say take his gun. He believed at that moment that they were going to kill him unless he started to bargain with them and say listen i have a family, you know . Hoping that would stop the them from doing the worse and pa apparently at that moment it did work. I am paraphrasing and i wish you had not been here in the first place. Tonight, yes, the senate and the congress should be doing their jobs and thinking of what theyre going to be doing and what should be doing. This is honor of Men And Women In Uniform all over this country but especially those who are in the washington, d. C. Area who fought so valiantly to protect the capitol and protect everyone inside and continue to do it every single day. President bidens motorcade has arrived. We are waiting for him to enter the rotunda to pay his respect to Officer Sicknick. The president wants the officers to go first and be with one of their own and give them that position of priority because they were there first protecting. Any men or women who were there that day could be receiving this salute instead of giving them. It is good that they get to go first. You have to honor the officer but you have to honor why he die by learning the lesson of this. I have covered many of these. I think as we listen to this, keep your eyes to the door on the left of the screen to the top, capital hill and the time stamp here. Members of Law Enforcement are now entering and paying their respects and you know we dont have control of this camera. This is a pool camera to get close ups and see whos exactly there. Chris, i want you to think about as we watch these Men And Women In Uniform paying their respects and what we have gone through and watching this particular place, went through an insurrection. We had an inauguration and now we have a fallen officer laying at the capitol. These are times that people write about in the History Books and we are living in that time right now. It is an interesting ceremony. They circle the officer and they come up in a line and salute. Thats a powerful embrace of one of their own. Literally surrounding them in the sense of honor of their own duty and they come by detachment of different aspects of Capitol Police. The president is on premise, we are waiting for him to come and be our collect ive consciou in this solemn moment. This is not lying in state but this is lying in honors. An honor like this is reserved for u. S. Government. Two u. S. Officers were shot to death to lie in honor in the capitol and it is a rare occurrence and i think everyone in the audience will agree with me lets hope it never happens again that we lose an officer to an insurrection. An attack on our democracy is the worse of the worse. It is an attack on our freedom and liberty and our personal attack on everything that we believe in and this officer, this hero died trying to protect that i should not say trying to, they did protect it. After this insurrection happened, you and i witnessed live on television, members of the senate and the Congress Going back into the halls where they had been hiding just hours before and had fear for their lives and they went and completed their constitutional duties of certifying the electoral votes, certifying the election that happened on november 7th, 2020. It was honorable that they went back even at a time where i dont know how you can be completely certain tha remainin had been left behind. It also must be remembered of what january 6th was about is that after we saw an angry mob that represented the worst of us tried to break in and stop the democratic proceedings. You had 140 or so members of one party stand up to echo the lie that brought the insurrection in the first place. Right on. Cnns dana bash is joining us now from washington. You have covered this and watching this all unfold, you are there in washington, i want to hear your thoughts on whats happening now and the emotion that people are feeling in washington, d. C. Right now especially as it relates to this event. Heavy. Very heavy. You know, the people who walk the capitols campus everyday and i was one of them for a couple of decades, you get to know these officers certainly by face or not by name and you come to rely on them as a protector and a friendly face. Officer sicknick was somebody who was one of those and everything changed for all of these officers, for everybody in that building in that day and now because he gave the ultimate sacrifice in trying to protect the people in that building, hes now lying in honor and hes only the fifth person in americas history to do so. Hes in the company of rosa parks and hes in the company of reverend billy graham. As you mentioned earlier, don, two officers who similarly gave their lives to protect the capitol back in 1998, officer chestnut and detective john gibson. So this is an important moment of history and it is a solemn moment and a reminder of just how rare it is to be seeing what we are seeing. Dana, you cover not only the people but the events inside this building as i said, you cover them so well for quite some time. Lets think about it this way, hes returning to the very building that he protected for over a decade where he received those lifethreatening injuries protecting the legislative branch, i should they fatal injuries, for the last time hes returning to the place he served, thats powerful to think about. Absolutely. It is incredibly powerful to think about. It is powerful to watch, you can feel it and as we discuss what we are seeing you can it is palpable, i have been in tha t ro ro r rotunda. But, somebody who was literally in the line of duty and gave his life in order to protect and not just to protect from so many of the threats that we think about when we walk those halls and i certainly did after 9 11, for example, from International Forces but from within, from people inside the United States, american citizens storming the capitol while members of congress were doing their constitutional duty in order to certify the Electoral College and these people were doing so In The Name Of the president of the United States forging ahead based on lies that he continues to tell and those who were his supporters did as well. Thats what makes this even more Heart Wrenching thats the reason why we are watching this solemn moment. You know, chris, i have been conversing with our colleague, josh campbell, a former fbi agent. He said to me there is no job in washington like a Capitol Police officer. It is supposed to be the peoples house welcoming a normal time for people to see their representatives. I think people want to the peoples house to get back to that. We have gone so far and especially since january 6th. This is a reminder of whats at stake that we are watching on our screen right now. We are. We are seeing the best of us right now, the men and women who took an oath to defend us and protect and serve. They did just that at a time this country needed most. I dont think it could beover stated and i think this is the right thing to be done for Officer Sicknick and the right thing to be done at this time. You can argue just too long a month later for us to recognize the gravity of this moment as a day. Y yet, we have never seen anything like this before. You said, don, hopefully well never see anything like this again. I have no securitiy in that ide right now. Things have not gotten better since january 6th and as for people being the peoples house as it is. If we can get back to being the peoples business and how much progress and productivity can be made instead of how much anger and fermenting of different interests, you have to believe it will get to a better place. Thats what makes someone like Adam Kinzinge r an intriguing figure right now. People are going against their inclination of what they think is right. You covered this. Joe biden has four children, first daughter, naomi and christina died and his son beau biden died in 2015. Talk about someone that knows grief. Thats this president and it is in exact contrast of the last president. Joe biden knows grief and he knows empathy. I think ch hopefully he can b consuling chief. Absolutely, we saw him did that in his role throughout the summer when he during the riots and when he had moments he could be that person. We saw him at cnns town hall. There is the president and the first lady arriving. I think we should just listen and let them pay their respects. President biden and first lady, jill biden, paying respects to Officer Sicknick, protecting the capitol. Dana bash and chris cuomo is with me as well. Chris, dana is talking about empathy as joe biden came in. Hes a very religious man. Going over and looking at the flowers and shaking his head and a collective sigh across the country. A moment that made me tear up, i cant believe where we are. Hopefully, well get beyond to where we are. Speak ing of the president o his faith, he keeps it very simple. His faith and these matters come down in two words, love mercy. And, it is a very ample instruction no matter what you believe right now. It is the highest ideal in our society and democracy. There are so much pain in the capitol right now. So much pain in his family, so much pain in his Brothers And Sisters who did the job. The shame of it as if we dont learn the lesson or dont honor the sacrifice by getting to a better place and we have not done that since january 6th. For those who want to honor the officer, good, should. But for those in power who want to do the same, we omnivnly kno what they show in their intentions and there after. Chris, thank you very much for helping us through this. You have done a fantastic job covering this before. Again, as i told you we were getting thank yous from Law Enforcement and you happen to be in the air. You are going to leave me with dana bash. Chris, thank you so much. I love you, brother. I love you, i would not want to be anywhere else. Thank you. Dana bash. 36 years joe biden had been walking these halls with Capitol Police. Thats what i was thinking about because i met senator biden when he was in those halls day a day and he was for three and a half decades during some of his toughest times and during some of his best times, he had officers like these, like Officer Sicknick there to protect him just like those officers protecting those 99 senators he served with. You were talking about empathy and about the fact that because he had so much pain in his own life and for other reasons hes inherently so empathetic but this is another level and layer of that because these Capitol Police officers were apart of his life for so many years as the United States senator. Dana, i want to remind our viewers we are watching laying in honor officer brian sicknick, member of the Capitol Police who lost his life in the line of duty. We saw the first lady paying their respects and now you have members of the Law Enforcement community doing the same thing. I want to get dana standby. I want to get to cnns kaitlan collins. She joins us now by phone. Kaitlan is our chief white house correspondent. This was very important for the president of the United States to be here and to do this. We know his respect for Law Enforcement and how he has dealt with grief after the loss of two children. Thats right. Tomorrow actually would have been beau bidens birthday. I heard the conversation you and dana had about of the grief that the president knows all so well. We had an idea from officials but this was not on the schedule until he left the white house earlier tonight and made his way up there to may respects. We did know President Biden called the family. That was the point where the white house delayed and lower the flags. Of course, President Trump was still in office. President biden called the family and spoke with them as well. We had an idea that this could be happening and you saw other leaders that were there and Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi as they were bringing in his remains to lie in honor. It is notable as dana was saying that this was a rare distinction for someone to get. It is a rare circumstance and events that are happening on capitol hill and washington. White house officials have been planning this for a few days. Kaitlan, thank you very much. We appreciate your reporting. Dana bash, thank you for joining me on this historic evening to cover the death and honor of brian sicknick, the officer who lost his life in the line of duty on the insurrection on capitol hill. Well continue to follow this new story, the president of the United States, the first lady just paid honor to the phenofallen officer moments ago. There is a lot going on and we need to talk about.

Anthony fauci. Good to see you doctor, thank you so much for appearing. The federal government will start sending supplies directly to pharmacipharmacies. Tell us how it is going to work and what it means for people at home watching right now . St that means an easy access. You mentioned one shipping vaccine doses to pharmacies so people can go to their pharmacies and get them, easily, the way you would get anything in a pharmacy and the next is to open up Community Vaccine center and to do so aiming at areas where it is under representation of facilities to get people such as minorities, brown and black people dont have the ease to get to some of the other facilities and using mobile units to get to assessable areas. A, you want to make it easy to get vaccines done and pharmacies good way to do it but you also want to have equity, we dont have any some demographic groups to have availability to the vaccines. Lets talk about why this is taken so long. The need for the Vaccine Supply is dire. I know everyone is working really hard. Why is it taking so long to get more doses distributed, doctor . You know it is just a question of productions and speed and capability of doing it. As we get into middle of february or march and april, the number of doses that are going to be available are going to be greatly accelerated. There were few Relativity Speaking doses and it was complica
