>> as we have been reporting tonight, tomorrow's gonna be a big day. the cdc's vaccine advisory committee will meet tomorrow to consider the recommendation to change the age eligibility for the pfizer vaccine that protects against covid. right now that pfizer vaccine is authorized for use in people aged 16 and over, tomorrow they will take up the question of whether that should be changed to age 12 and over, if as expected, the cdc's advisory panel says yes to that, and then the cdc itself agrees, then the first 12, 13, 14 15 years could start getting vaccinated in this country potentially as early as thursday morning. as early as the day after tomorrow. so that is a really big deal, that is a big next apple gonna be talking more about that tonight. the vaccine rollout remains a complex thing. the anticipation of tomorrow's

big pfizer decision comes tonight as the white house has also just told states that they are not going to get any doses of the johnson & johnson vaccine next week. johnson & johnson has been cleared, in terms of safety concerns, after a brief hiatus. but because johnson and is one shot instead of two shots, because it is very well tolerated and effective, because it is easy to transport and to store at normal temperatures, a lot of states, a lot of entities, a lot of individual americans have a preference for the one shot johnson & johnson vaccine. but, that company has been plagued by production shortfalls and glitches from the very beginning, and apparently now for the first time next week, that is going to result in the federal government not shipping j&j vaccines to the states at all. at least in the short term. that is a very interesting development we will be watching that closely. today's also now day five,

believe it or not, of the shutdown of the largest fuel pipeline in the united states. the 5000-mile colonial pipeline that runs all the way from the gulf of mexico up into new england, it boggles my mind that this is an even bigger news than it is, but today's day five of that largest fuel pipeline of the country being shut down because of cyberattackers, who reportedly seize control of the computer networks of the company that operates that pipeline. the attackers then demanded that the company pay a ransom of some kind to get their stuff back, we don't know how much ransom was demanded, we don't know if the ransom might have been paid by the company. the fbi is investigating this as a crime, the fbi says that they have identified a russian and eastern european hacking group as responsible for the attack. even with that though, this pipeline is still down. five days into it. and this is the biggest fuel

pipeline in the country and you can shut down something like that for five days without feeling it. we are now feeling the first effects on the ground of this frighteningly successful attack, gas stations running out of gas mostly in the southeast, but increasingly up the eastern seaboard, most of that may be hoarding as people are worried about supply shortages,. they are effectively causing them by filling up every tank they've got. but hoarding can't explain why airlines now are having to re-root planes, and add new stops for a long haul flights because they can get the fuel they need to fly their regular schedules. there is a real kink in the supply line here with this fuel pipeline shut down for five straight days. why is it taking so long to handle this problem? we don't really know. did the attackers gain access to the control systems for the pipeline? in addition to the corporate networks of the company that runs it? we don't know at this point. the crucial questions, we will

have more on this in the course of this hour and we will tell you that we're keeping an eye out for a statement from the operator. the white house says that the operator might decide whether they are finally ready to restart that pipeline if so, that will obviously be the beginning of the end to this mini crisis. but it is an unnerving one regardless. so we're watching that, we'll have more on that ahead. in politics tonight, but this is one that i have felt a lot of ways all at once, it's either the biggest story in the political world or the little list in the teapot. depending on whether you feel like the republican party right now is just having its usual periodic moral convulsions or whether you think they're going through something more existential serious, both for them as a political party and for us as a two party democracy.

regardless, whether or not you think this is something that will fade or whether this will be a benchmark in history, i have to tell you tonight, the washington, the whole political world and the whole political news media, for sure, as absolutely riveted to this story which we're also going to see play out over the next 24 hours now. in which the republican party is ousting one of its leaders for the grave crime of condemning the violent january 6th attack on the capitol by trump supporters. for the even more egregious crime of noting the truth that that attack was born out of the lie that the republican party should maybe stop telling its constituents. that somehow the election fraud put president biden in the white house. president trump should be seen as a victim of that fraud, who needs to be avenged. he should be returned to office because there is something wrong with the 2020 election when in fact there was nothing wrong with the 2020 election. wyoming republican congresswoman liz cheney is the third most senior republican in

congress, she is due to be ousted from that leadership job tomorrow, because she refuses to go along with that now foundational lie of the trump era republican party. but again, your mile edge may vary on this story. before this year, before this scandal, i would venture a guess that 99% of us had no idea who was the number three republican in house leadership, is it that important of a job? is the turnover of a person to a different person in that job really all that big of news, maybe not in the abstract. but, in this case the reason that she is being forced out of that job, it absolutely is big news. if this is effectively our public notification of the new rules by which all republicans have to behave, or else. well, that is a story that we have been following as it has been growing for more than a week now and now tonight on the eve of what is expected to be her ousting from the leadership,

tonight just within the last hour in advance of that foes to throw her out of her leadership job tomorrow morning, liz cheney got up on the house floor within the past hour and had something to say. she had this to say about her party leadership's devotion to a defeated and disgraced president. >> today, we face a threat america has never seen before. a former president who provoked a violent attack on this capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive efforts to convince americans that the election was stolen from him, he risks inciting further violence. millions of americans have been misled by the former president, they have heard only his words but not the truth. he continues to undermine our democratic process, sowing seeds of doubt about whether

democracy really works at all. i am a conservative republican. the most conservative of conservative principles is reference for the rule of law. the electoral college has voted. more than 60 states and federal courts, including multiple judges the former president appointed, have rejected his claims. the trump department of justice investigated the former presidents claim of widespread fraud and found no evidence to support them. the election is over, that is the rule of law, that is our constitutional process. those who refused to accept the rulings of our quartz are at war with the constitution. our duty is clear, every one of us who has sworn the oath must act to prevent the unraveling of our democracy. this is not about policy. this is not about partisanship.

this is about our duty as americans. remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. i will not participate in that. i will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former presidents crusade to undermine our democracy. we must speak the truth. our election was not stolen, and america has not failed. we must love america so much that we will never yield in her defense. that is our duty. thank you. >> on the eve of a vote that is expected to force her out of her leadership job in the republican party. wyoming congressman liz cheney, the daughter of dick cheney speaking on the house floor just within the last few minutes.

remarkable statement. we face a threat america has never seen before, a former president that incited -- has resumed his aggressive effort to convince americans the election was stolen for him, he risks inciting further violence, she says. millions of americans have been misled by the former president. he continues to undermine our democratic process sowing seeds of doubt about whether democracy really works at all. the election is over, that is the rule of law, that is the constitutional process. she describes the more than 60 state and federal courts including multiple judges the former president appointed have rejected his claims. that is the rule of law. that is our constitutional process those who refused to accept the rulings of our law are at war with our constitution. this is not about policy. this is not about partisanship. this is about our duty as americans remarrying silent emboldens the liar, i will not sit back and watch and silent

while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former presidents crusade to undermine our democracy. liz cheney not going quietly as a throw her out of her leadership role, unless they're gonna vote to expel her out of congress, she is still going to be the congresswoman from wyoming, whether or not she still has a leadership role in name in the republican party. she's effectively claiming the leadership role in the republican party outside the formal party leadership which requires feel t to this lie about this election and fealty to the president no matter how outlandish is claims. in order to be a nominal leader in this party. it's been a fascinating thing to watch because this is been the chronicle of a political death foretold, as soon as we knew that liz cheney was teetering in terms of her republican leadership post in washington, it seemed like

almost inevitable conclusion that she will be voted out, that there's nothing that can savor. that's just how the republican party works right now. you cross donald trump, your seen as an enemy of trump and your politically over. so it is just a question of how long it was going to take. and how liz cheney would comport herself, while she awaited her inevitable faith. it does seem like she's planning on being loud about it and neither simpering with this faith. but also not going away, not willing to back down on it. the washington post said some fascinating things over the weekend it was matched by some reporting today by cnbc about how liz cheney doesn't just planned to stay in congress and keeps in which she believes. she plans to escalate as much as you can her battle to try to turn the republican party away from trump and specifically, specifically, the trump lie

about election fraud having been the story of the 2020 election. washington post has a reporting this weekend about cheney's efforts to continue that fight and the divide, part of what she sees as what is wrong with the republican party, to divide between her and the other republican leaders in the house. specifically the washington post described house republican retreat last month where the party had its officials runs through four republican members of congress important internal republican party polling numbers. here's how the post explained quote, when staff first to explain the latest polling and core battleground districts, they left out a key finding about trump's weakness, declining to divulge the information even went directly questioned about it. trump's ratings were 15 points higher than its favorable ones, his unfavorable were 15 points

higher than favorable ratings in the core districts being discussed. according to the polling results which were obtained by the washington post. nearly twice as many voters had a strong unfavorable view of president trump as a strongly favorable one, but they left that data out of the presentation they were making to house republican members, because even in their own polling shows there -- shows danger within associated with donald trump, shows dangerous numbers in his own popularity, they are unwilling to voice those things even to their own members because nothing bad can ever be said about donald trump. that is something beyond showing loyalty, that is about willingness -- willingness to hurt yourself, willingness to inflict political pain on yourself in

order to instead display this other thing about the former president and ally he is spinning to his base. and if you listen to a lot of the prize right now you'd be tempted to believe that the vote is happening because list cheney is an trumpy republican and she hasn't supported the trump agenda over the past four years that's that's absolutely not absolutely not true. true. according to 538.com, liz cheney voted with donald trump about 93% of the time, whereas the republican who was due to replace cheney in her leadership job, a new york republican named elise stefanik only voted with trump 78% of the time, significantly less. in terms of policy, in terms of allying herself with trump and how trump governs, cheney is much more like trump than stefanik. but that's just proof that this is not all about policy. it's about something else. it's about personality, and it

is about supply caution. it's about performative sycophant see bending the knee abjectly to donald trump. and in that respect, congresswoman stefanik has absolutely passed the test in ways liz cheney could not. stefanik has emphatically endorsed the big lie about the 2020 election. liz cheney has stood by the obvious true that joe biden won the 2020 presidential election fair and square. the vote is expected to happen early tomorrow. joining us now is washington post reporter michael shearer who has the lead byline on the scoop about trump's bad polling numbers being emitted from a presentation at the last house republicans retreat, a remarkable snapshot of what's going on inside the party. thank you for being here, nice to see you. >> thank you. >> i mentioned a little bit my

own push and pull feeling on this story. i do think that it is important and this may end up being a landmark moment in terms of how the republican party defines itself. with all the reporting you and your colleagues have done, how significant do you see tomorrow's vote and liz cheney's remarks tonight? >> i think you've got to some of it in your opening their. donald trump wanted to make an example of liz cheney. he sent out aides to wyoming to denounce her. he celebrated the republican party in that state when it centered her. he commissioned polls to show how unpopular she is. liz cheney is making it clear that instead of -- he is getting arrival. she will take this case the distance. her event horizon is longer than he thought it would be.

she is not just looking to the next midterms, and i think she will fight very hard for her seat. she is really looking at this point to carry the flag from a conservative point of view, from an old republican point of view, of trying to push the party beyond trump. in that, i think it's a real threat to the current republican party that the house minority leader kevin mccarthy envisions, because the way they win the midterms and set themselves up for 2024 is to just gloss over these divisions and not scare the suburban moderates, just get everyone to come out together, holding hands, thinking about joe biden's overreach and how they want a check on democratic governance. if liz cheney follows through with what she's indicating, that will complicate that not just over the next week or two, but all the way through next year.

>> what's kind of assets and resources and poll does she bring to bear to that kind of a project compared with some of the other republicans who we have seen for at least brief periods try to carry the same banner? we've seen strongly worded challenges to the perception of trump as the leader of the party from people like congressman adam kinzinger or briefly from senator mitt romney of utah. what does liz cheney bring to this that others who have gone before her haven't? >> we don't know the answer, but you're right. there's a half dozen groups out there, more than a half dozen former lawmakers, campaign strategists, who go out every day and say trump is bad for the republican party. liz is a rising star. she really has on blemished conservative credentials. she will continue to attack from the right. there will not be a moderate liz cheney that will suddenly

appear at some point. she will continue to be a fierce opponent of joe biden. and in a high-profile way that i think someone like adam kinzinger or mitt romney have not been able to do, she will make the conservative case that what president trump did on the 6th of january, what he is continuing to do in denying the results of the election, are really an affront to the fundamentals of what the republican party is, and i think it's to be seen whether she gains traction there. some of it is beyond her control. there are polls to suggest that even though this is very much trump's party, especially within the mechanisms of the party, there is some dwindling of support and favourability for trump since january. and there is one scenario here where donald trump continues to fight, do what he has done, finds his way back on to a social network in the coming months, but more and more

republicans over the next year decide that maybe it's time to turn the page. if they are looking in that direction, i think she will be there to sort of given them a voice. i don't think anyone can claim that this is anything but a tiny rebellion. it's a tiny rebellion against trump's party. whether it succeeds is very much an open question. >> right, and a very important point, in terms of the length of her of and horizon and how long a game she feels like she can play here and how many resources she can bring to bear. it's a really important way to look at. it michael shearer, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> we've got much more ahead here tonight, including a dramatic court ruling tonight out of texas, of all places, that could radically change american politics in one key way.

facing criminal investigations from prosecutors into states. in new york state, the investigation concerns multiple allegations of business and financial fraud. in the state of georgia, the criminal investigation into the former president concerns potentially illegal election interference by the former president. tonight, the prosecutors office in georgia has brought chest a battleship of an indictment against the 22-year-old defendant who is charged with killing eight people at three different atlanta area day spas a few weeks ago in march. the indictment today alleges that the defendant chose his victims in part on the basis of their sex and race. hate crime charges have been brought against him. you may recall, of the eight

people he is alleged to have killed, seven were women, six were of asian descent. prosecutors are going to seek the death penalty against him, with enhanced hate crime charges layered on top of multiple murder counts. this is not the federal justice department. these are state charges brought by state prosecutors in georgia. all of them are striking because georgia republicans in the state legislature responded to the gun massacre back in march by moving almost immediately after that horrific mass shooting to loosen gun laws even further in that state. it was a remarkable thing at the time. a mass killing by a gunman who reportedly purchased the weapon he used in the killings just hours before he went out and shot and killed all those people. georgia republicans responded to that by loosening georgia gun laws even more. they apparently wanted to move quickly after the gun massacre to smooth the path for the next guy who decides that's how he

plans to spend his day in georgia. it's incredible. on that same front, though, there was big news late today, big bad news, for the entity that's more responsible than any other person, place, or thing in america for our country becoming the most heavily armed nation on earth, for america becoming, in our time, the land of multiple mass civilian shootings every single day. today is bad news for the national rifle association, from the nra, happened in a north texas courtroom. the ruling from the judge is one of those ones where i started highlighting on page one and ran out of highlighter. it's one of those rulings that serves a definitive legal purpose, but it's written so clearly and bluntly, it also has the effect of just explaining the whole thing to the public, to those of us who have been watching the case in particular and wondering if this might finally be the start of the end of the nra.

let me read you from the start of the ruling. the united states bankruptcy court northern district of texas, dallas division, harlin twain hailed, the judge, quote the national rifle association of america, at the nra, is a 150 year old organization with approximately 5 million members. the nra asserts it's the nation's foremost defender of the second amendment of the u.s. constitution. in recent years, however, it's become apparent that the nra was suffering from inadequate governance and internal controls. the attorney general for the state of new york conducted a 15 month long investigation of the nra, that according to the attorney general, revealed widespread misuse of assets by the executive vice president, wayne lapierre, and his circle of insiders for their own personal benefit. nine months ago, the new york attorney general filed a lawsuit seeking disillusion,

seeking the dissolving of the nra, based on allegations that number one, the nra has conducted its business and a persistently illegal manner and abused its powers by operating without fective ght or control, and number two, the directors are members in control of the nra have looted or wasted the corporate assets, perpetuated a corporation solely for their personal benefit, or have otherwise acted in an illegal, oppressive, or fraudulent manner. >> the nra file this case seeking the protection of the bankruptcy code to preserve itself as a growing conserve of the face of litigation, it argues poses an existential threat. the question the court is facing is whether the existential threat facing the nra is the type of threat that the bankruptcy code is meant to protect against? the court believes it is not. the judge continues quote for the reason stated here the court finds that there is

reason to dismiss this bankruptcy case as not being filed in good faith, both because it was -- and because it was filed to avoid state regulation. so this is a bankruptcy court ruling, it's very bad news for the nra and therefore it is potentially huge news about whether they're gonna have a worsening played of gun violence like no country has ever seen among the civilians of the world. no biggie. but what happened here in this case is that the nra had the ancient misfortune to be founded, right after the civil war in new york state. it's not headquartered in new york state hasn't been for a while but that's where it's been founded and that's where it got its charter as a non

charter, it is therefore regulated as a nonprofit. among other things they say you can't loot the place to line your own pockets if you are running a nonprofit in the state of new york. in august last year, the attorney general indeed brought a lawsuit against the nra in the bases of new york state law and her case allege at the nra was so corrupt that it's executive we're still dealing in spending money on themselves and their -- that the state of new york was going to use state law to dissolve that organization into sikh reparation to demand restitution to the tune of tens of millions of dollars from specific named and our executives at the state said were involved in the corruption. so a bunch of whistleblower claims, a bunch of investigative journalism, not this more than one year long investigation is all how and why we have learned in recent

months that while your lovable gun lover has been scraping his hard earned cash to send in his dues all these years so we can make sure he has his and are a member sticker on his bumper, the actual nra has been spending his money on is like italian silk suits, literally with $275,000 in italian suits for one and our executive. one and our executive. he had the and our pay for these after he personally selected them at a beverly hills boutique. it's one thing to read in the newspaper about these things happening in the nra it's another thing in this trial to have it all confirmed and to hear that and our executive try to make it sound okay that this is why and are a dues paying

member were actually in the end paying for. >> mr. lap here, you are familiar with the story in beverly hills? >> i am. >> you'll see here did you ever receive exhibit 339 before today? >> yes, i have seen this. >> and do you know under what circumstances -- the -- the letter represents -- involves closing purchases by ackerman mcqueen on your behalf. and in the letter, mr. wrinkle or says they were -- your word -- we need to address your wardrobe and specifically purchased clothes in a store in beverly hills california. >> i do. >> due to the substantial nature of the total, we should address these items immediately.

do you see? that >> i see that. >> and you'll see utah is a list of purchases by date and amount. do you see that? on the back? >> i do see that. >> all right. and did you receive from the store clothing in a value of $274,695 paid by ackerman mcqueen? >> i never saw the receipts -- >> and you did not pay for the suits, correct? >> correct. >> so the suits were a gift, correct? >> no. >> okay. >> they wore work, they were work wardrobe. >> they were work wardrobe, $274,695 that he required us to provide specifically in purchases from this one store in beverly hills, california.

$275,000 all bought by the nra -- but it was for work. it was either that or the uniform jumpsuits with a name on the patch, we decided that $275,000 italian suits were a better use of paying members money. so that is what he got for himself. and that was just one piece of it. my work wardrobe, doesn't everybody get a work wardrobe like that? $275,000 of italian suits. there was also win in his family using nra member dues to pay for repeatedly private jet trips to and from various family homes and the bahamas. also his conflicts of interest which always seemed to result in something nice for wayne, like the guy who's from he signed off receiving contracts

of millions of dollars from the nra after that same guy repeatedly let wayne stay on his yacht which included a crew a chef, and also some jet skis and a smaller boat that rolled along on top of the giant yacht. thanks nra dues paying member, wayne made sure that your money went to that guy, that guy let wing use his law with the crew and the chef. when the nra -- went all of this started to get exposed, when the nra got caught for the stuff in this corruption and self dealing scandal. wayne, that same executive, the guy with the suits, and the private jet trips, he came up with what he would shore was an escape plan. he felt that he had come up with a get out of jail free card for the nra, he thought he had come up with a magic trick that would prevent the nra from getting shut down by the

attorney general of new york state, at least he thought that is what he had discovered. when he tried is he tried to declare bankruptcy. to basically dissolve the nra on their own terms, in new york, and then they would re-incorporate themselves across the country in texas, where i guess wing thought state law wouldn't be used against him no matter how many suits he bought with that nra members dues. today this federal judge in bankruptcy court says that that escape hatch doesn't work for this, there is no such escape hatch for the nra. and for adding getting in trouble for running your charity like you are auditioning for the wikipedia theater version of embezzlement is not what bankruptcy court is for, so you can't use declare bankruptcy that way. you can't use it for a shield against the kind of litigation that new york state is bringing to bear against and i which they are going to use to shut the nra down. here's judge hale again today

quote, based on the statements of council and the evidence of record, the court finds that the primary purpose of this bankruptcy filing was to avoid potential disillusion of the nra and the new york attorney general case. the court is not in any way sing it believes that the new york attorney general can or cannot make the showing to obtain disillusion of the nra, but this court is saying that the bankruptcy code does not provide a sanctuary from this kind of threat. he says quote, this is not an appropriate use of bankruptcy. it concludes, this constitutes cause for dismissal. so the nra's effort to declare themselves bankrupt and thereby escape what is waiting for them in new york state has failed. the nra cannot declare itself bankrupt to avoid being shut down by the attorney general of new york. escape hatch closed, that means the case against the nra now continues with them clearly having no get out of jail free card.

celebrating today's thunderclap ruling against the nra by a federal judge in texas ruled that the nra cannot escape a new york lawsuit that aims to end the organization, that aims to discuss disbanded as an organization. data -- they tried to declared them bankruptcy but a judge told them that they cannot do that. everyone says today's disastrous decision for the nra shows that they can't even file for bankruptcy correctly, which doesn't bode well for the many

lawsuits and investigations they must now face. shannon watts founder of moms demand action says this quote we show the world the nra could be taken on and beaten, not only by exposing them by notching victory after victory in state houses, school boards city councils and boardrooms. the nra got its court clean in court but the gun safety movement is stronger than ever. joining us now is shannon watts after the sandy hook shooting she founded moms demand action to push forward for stronger gun laws, she's also following this and i trial very closely. it is nice to see you, i've been really looking forward to hearing your reaction to today's ruling. >> i would reiterate my thoughts and prayer but as a judge found today the only fate the nra has is bad faith. this filing for bankruptcy ended up being a disaster and a colossal mistake for the nra. it was a hail mary to avoid

accountability. the court saw right through it. they properly dismissed it for lack of merit, and it really is a victory not only for the accountability for the nra but also for the rule of law. >> the executives who are named in the new york lawsuit included wayne who has been the head of the nra for a long time, he's also described much of that egregious financial mismanagement which is alleged into new york case against the group. if that new york case is successful, not only would the nra be dissolved as an organization but mr. -- they would be seeking millions of dollars in essentially restitutions from him and he'd be banned from ever holding this kind of gig ever again, in any sort of nonprofit. it does feel like the stakes are as high as they could possibly be for the people who have been running that corner of the pro gun anti gun reform movement. >> absolutely.

the nra used to be a power broker, now they're just broken. the road ahead of them has gotten so much harder, they have to go back to fighting all of these various litigations across the country from former donors, angry vendors. they also have to face lawsuits from the new york attorney general, the d.c. attorney general and this news comes at the worst time for the nra because the discussion on background checks in the senate is just heating up. it will be onerous if not impossible for the nra to effectively oppose gun safely and lobby lawmakers, which they always do, while fighting these court battles and they're mounting debt. >> do you think that the background check litigation -- legislation, excuse me. has a path through the united states senate? >> absolutely, i do. we're having positive conversations with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. this is something 90% of americans support, 89% of gun

owners, only one intent belongs to the nra, 81% of republicans, on top of that return to normal after covid it means the return of shootings across the country. it is time after 25 years for congress to act. it's the right president, it's the right congress and we're gonna make sure that this gets done. >> shannon watts, the founder of moms demand actions, thank you for being here tonight, now this bankruptcy ruling means the new york cases -- than you are cases going to go ahead and we will be tracking that with you as well. >> looking forward to it. the thank you. >> more ahead, stay with us tonight. tonight. so when their windshield got a chip, they wanted it fixed fast. they drove to safelite autoglass for a guaranteed, same-day, in-shop repair. we repaired the chip before it could crack. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust, when you need it most.

to give the data back. we don't know if the company pay the ransom but the company did respond by shutting the entire pipeline down on friday to try, they said, prevent any further breach of operations. this is a pipeline that distributes gasoline and diesel fuel and oil to heat up peoples homes, and also significant amounts of jet fuels. the implication of this pipeline being down four days are pretty staggering. without fuel running through the colonial pipeline, gas stations in parts of the east coast are running out of gasoline, particularly in the southeast. gassed asians in georgia, alabama, tennessee, the carolinas, florida and for junior, some gas stations had empty tanks today. four states have declared states of emergency, georgia, virginia and florida are trying to deal with fuel shortages. american airlines announced that all direct flights from charlotte, north carolina to hawaii, and from charlotte to

london, those flights will not have to make a stop along the way to refuel because there isn't enough jet fuel in north carolina to power those long haul flights all the way to their destinations without stopping. southwest airline says they are flying planes full of fuel to tennessee, trying to supplement the dwindling local supply because of the pipeline shut down. the thing that is distressing those that even though we don't know whether a ransom was paid, it really appears like this is not ending anytime soon. the company that operates the pipeline says that they are going to resume operations by the end of the week. the white house says that we should expect some decision to be announced by the company as soon as tomorrow. but even if that happens, fuel moves slowly in a pipeline, five miles an hour, at that pace it will take two weeks for fuel to make its way from where the pipeline starts to where it ends. a cyber attack -- this is consequential, this is
