now, christmas next year. we don't social distance or masks if we can achieve the 70-80% of hurt immunity. we have a small degree of hurt immunity right now because of all the cases we have already had it all the infections we are he had but vaccinations will definitely kickstart that. we have pfizer, moderna which needs emergencies approval hopefully today and astrazeneca around the corner and johnson & johnson, glaxosmithkline, several vaccines will help us get to where we need to be sooner rather than later. i'm looking forward to that. >> news out of alaska, yesterday was reported there was one healthcare worker reporting an allergic reaction to pfizer's vaccine, local reports say a second healthcare worker and we could go ahead and pull up their systems on screen for folks at home you are watching in the first healthcare worker on tuesday reported shortness of

this patient, these patients to have the reaction are now in a category where they cannot get a second dose but at least they get 52% protection from the first dose. look at the risks versus benefits, for most people if you don't have a mild reaction it is still recommended to get the vaccine. is requested also not to get the vaccine if you are allergic and if the ingredients in the vaccine, things like lipids, the m rna itself, glycol, polyethylene in the vaccine. >> got to talk to your doctor about what you are allergic to. let me get pfizer at statement, quote, we don't yet have all the details of the report from alaska about a potential serious allergic reaction but are working with local health authorities to assess and closely monitor all reports about serious allergic reactions following vaccination. and important point you verify, got to talk to your doctor. as always we appreciate it. time is 18 after the air.

jillian: your endorsing center david perdue for reelection, sheriff's all across the state of georgia are also backing purdue and kelly leffler. tell me why you support them? >> because of their willingness to work with law enforcement, they are pro-law enforcement, they are not against us, they are there to help us. i had a talk with senator leffler and purdue on issues concerning law enforcement. i've never spoken a word to ossoff or wornoff. >> what makes your job harder if you have representatives who are not supporting law enforcement. >> absolutely without a doubt there is no question. if you don't have the backing of the system, you are at a dead end.

one fortunate thing for us in walton county, we are a very conservative county, people support law enforcement and public safety where my neighbors to the west of me in atlanta and other jurisdictions losing a lot of officers. which is our game. shannon: to people in your community understand what is at stake in these elections? >> i hope they do. i will make every effort to see that they do understand what is at stake. >> let's pull up the democrats, justice platform and we will start with rafael wornknock, increasing accountability. and on the platform, ending race with policing, prosecution and sentencing and reversing the militarization of local police forces. what would that do to you? >> i have been part of that, the

obama biden administration, equipment we use that was taken away from us, said it was militarization of law enforcement. that is nothing new from the democrats so i fully expect that to happen again the first of the year. >> your message to the voters? >> go out and vote for senator leffler and senator perdue. if you want your community safe, if you want your family safe, what your schools safe vote for the people that support us. shannon: thank you for sharing your message, appreciate it. have a good day. >> 26 after the hour. a café owner could face jail time for defining covid-19 restrictions in his state. that owner here to share why he refused to close his business and we are tracking that major winter storm causing chaos.

streets are pretty much okay, snow is falling, a little loud on your windshield. it is a mixture. jared, my photographer and i made the trip from center city so a 20 minute drive. i've not given in the snow much today. my first foray into that, took 40 minutes to double the commute. the roads are pretty slick in philadelphia and it is the tricky notice of global pileups so this is a side street, this road is not been traveled much so that gets tricky and you start to slide and slip on the roads. these cars over here are going to have to get out at some point today or maybe they are working at home, they will wait for the snow to melt. it is still falling at this hour. not really too bad and if you look around, it is like a winter wonderland, postcard material, but it took it from inside but we are braving the elements outside.

shannon: a couple years ago when i was working in philly as one of the stations we were driving up one of those hills, huge tools, adorable town, picturesque but our news van started sliding backwards on the hill in the snow. don't attempt those hills, stay where you are. >> i know exactly what you are talking about, this is where we are staying for now. >> i feel so left out. what i know about philly as they have the liberty bell and i am done. >> we have janice dean. we need to know what is going on with this storm and was we can expect for the rest of the day. >> janice: did somebody say cheesesteaks?

anytime of the day, 4:00 am, 5:00 am is cheesesteaks time. listen, let's look at it. it is cold enough for the snow but along the coast we are getting that rain sleet freezing rain missed so on long island for example where i live especially central and eastern long island we are getting almost all rain event and that will cut back on snow totals especially in the new york city area, that is the one thing we were afraid of, snow forecasting is one of the hardest things we do is meteorologist but let's look at it around the new york city area. all snow in central park, laguardia, jfk and newark but still a couple hours to get through, you see dry spots so i don't think we will verify some of those foot totals in and around new york city however upstate, northwest of new york city we are certainly getting

jackpot snowfall totals and this will be with us for the next couple of hours and by this afternoon most of it will be out-of-the-way but i will tell you any snow on the ground is going to potentially be blown around and cause poor visibility, winds at 40, 50 miles per hour just offshore so that will cause almost blessed like conditions and that will be dangerous of people are urged to stay off the roads, stay home and we will keep you up to date. cheesesteak, anybody? >> a kentucky café owner could spend two months in jail, in jail for refusing to close his indoor dining room after he was commonly charged with going against state borders. richard hey ho joins me now with his attorney chris weeks. let's go to you first, the charges you are facing, two count of operating a restaurant without a license in two counties, you are facing 60 days in jail, $1,000 in fines. why are you risking so much? >> could you repeat the question? >> why are you risking so much?

outside. that is as far as we are willing to go. >> this is retaliation from democratic governor andy bashir, why? >> mister hale was a plaintiff in a lawsuit we filed challenging the governor's orders and not a month or 2 after the decision was rendered along comes the health inspector at the behest of the governor, they filed criminal charges, at the direction of the governor. it looks like retaliation, smells like retaliation, probably is retaliation. >> are you scared what could happen to you? >> we believe in what we are doing and believe we are doing the right thing and we believe we will have our day and be able to speak to that, to the citizens of grant county and boone county and allow them to make that decision. todd: from a legal perspective how confident are you that you will win in court? >> these are counties that do

not support the governor, counties donald from carried by substantial margins and that is where the state has to pull their jury for him. i like our chances. >> how have your employees responded to you fighting for them? >> fantastic. they have been so supportive, they have worked, they have volunteered extra time, it is overwhelming the support we have received from customers and as far away as international emails and phone calls from others, the employees have been fantastic and so has the community. >> please keep us posted how this goes, appreciate your time this morning and certainly wish you and your employees happy holidays. over to you. >> rhode island governor under fire after she photographed mask as well as at a wine bar friday night just days after sending a

i think he is pretty spot. tom cruise lost his cool but the point he's trying to make is people get coronavirus people lose their jobs so you got to take it seriously. >> we take it to fund town here. not every day you get a concert by a senator. >> if you want to get into the holiday spirit in a bipartisan way, republican senator lamar alexander playing the piano while senator tim kane, democrat plays the harmonica playing christmas carols, take a look. there you have it. not something you see every day like you said. senator alexander is set to retire so he will probably have more time on his hands as he continues to play the piano.
