search for more survivors from the killer tornado continues. we start tonight with that developing news from capitol hill. just a few hours ago, the january six committee knew nana mostly voted to refer former chief of staff, mark meadows to the full house. for criminal contempt. the vote comes on the new bombshell revelations about at the very emails and text messages, meadows himself exchanged before and on january six. the committee members were taking pains tonight to point out the pivotal role that meadows played. >> mr. meadows put himself in this situation, he must now accept the consequences. >> it certainly appears that mr. meadows played a key role in events that culminated in the violent attack on the capital and on our democracy. >> mark meadows has committed a crime, in this case. a premeditated one. no one is above the law.

not even a former presidents chief of staff. >> i expect the justice department to move swiftly ideally with mr. meadows. as he did with mr. bannon >> and prosecute him for violating the law. and his duty as a citizen. >> the new information was detailed in documents that meadow had already handed over before he decided to stop cooperating with the investigation. claiming executive privilege. among the revelations, we learned that mr. meadows participated in meetings and calls during which the participants reportedly discussed the need to fight back against mounting evidence of purported voter fraud. meadows also sent an email to an unnamed person saying that the national guard would be president to protect pro trump people. committee members, tonight, show text messages that former colleagues were sending from inside of the capital building. pleading with the white house to intervene.

pleads that went ignored. >> the 187 minutes, president trump refused to act. when actions by our president were required, essential and indeed compelled by his oath to our constitution. mr. meadows received numerous text messages which he has produced without any privileged claimed. imploring that mr. trump take the specific action we all knew his duty required. these text messages leave no doubt, the white house knew exactly what was happening here at the capitol. one text mr. meadows received said, quote, we are under siege here at the capitol. another, quote, they have breached the capitol. in a third, mark, protesters are literally storming the capitol. breaking windows on doors,

rushing in. is trump going to say something? >> well it turns out that trump's own family and friends over at fox news were begging the president to take a stand against the ongoing violence. >> indeed according to the records multiple fox news host knew the president needed to act immediately. they texted mr. meadows. and he has turned over those text. quote mark, the president needs to tell people in the capital to go home. this is hurting all of us. he is destroying his legacy. laura ingraham wrote. please, get him on tv. destroying everything you have accomplished. brian kilmeade texted. quote, can he make a statement. ask people to leave the capital?

sean hannity, the are just. as the violence continued. one of the president sons texted mr. meadows, quote, he's got to condemn this sheet asap. the capital police tweet is not enough. donald trump jr. texted. >> meadows sat down with sean hannity, who was among those urging trump to call off his supporters. no mention of the text messages but meadows did try to argue, the committee is overstepping. >> if we look at senior officials chief of staff, and those seniors to the president of the united states compelling them to come in and testify, and what we are seeing now, there is lots of jurors prudence and legal opinions that would suggest that that is not something that should be in the purview of congress. >> the full house is expected to vote on the committee's recommendation tomorrow night.

should it pass, it wouldn't be up to the justice department to file charges. another trump advisor, steve bannon, already faces two counts of contempt against congress. his trial, scheduled to start in july. there is also a grim update tonight on that severe weather that devastated a huge swath of our country, friday night. dozens of tornadoes tore across nine different states. and in kentucky alone, at least 74 people are dead. another 109 unaccounted for. governor andy beshear, describe the frantic search for survivors earlier today. >> we have over 300 guardsmen that are active. they are out in our communities. they are doing everything they can from going door to door. to admitted, these committees don't have doors anymore. they are going through rebels, searching for survivors. but otherwise, to at least have certainty for families that we

can advise them of their loss. >> president biden is scheduled to tour the devastation on wednesday. meanwhile, nbc news is reporting that several employees inside that candle factory in mayfield, kentucky, were warned that they would be fired if they evacuated. even as tornado sirens were blaring. >> i remember everything. the first alarm going off, and they called us to the back to the roll call. and then they didn't even finish. it they sent us back to work. >> did anybody give you the option to go home? >> no. >> the entire building was leveled. these were the before and after images. at least eight people inside lost their lives. company officials tonight are denying that workers were threatened and insists safety protocols were followed. >> by the time you know that that is going to come. it's such a gamble to leave. because the last thing you do is not get into your car,

that's what experts say. >> finally tonight in the seemingly endless battle against covid. the united states has passed more grim milestones. the coronavirus death toll in this country has now surpassed 800,000 americans. more than 50 million have been infected. on the new york times, reporting today, one in 100 older americans over the age of 65 have died from the virus. with that, let's bring in our lead off guest on this monday night, ashley parker, bullet surprise-winning chief with the washington post. sam stein, veteran journalist and white house editor for politico. and former u.s. attorney, joyce alene, who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. she hosts the podcast, sisters in law, along with kimberly stork joan wine base, and barbara mcquade. good to see all of you on this very busy monday night. joyce vance was your biggest take away from all that we heard from the committee today? >> the biggest take away came

during les cheney's statement. it was clear that she was trying to really speak to the justice department and explain why meadows should be prosecuted. many people had thought that steve bannon was in a category of one with his flagrant failure to comply with the subpoena. cheney makes a very compelling so -- she said there were some issues. where he didn't turn over documents, but that is not about this vote tonight is about. she said the vote is about areas and she divined three categories where meadows can see that there is no privilege where he turned over documents. and he now simply refuses to come and testify. since she makes this compelling case that were trump failed to act,, as rioters, stormed the capitol. the efforts to change votes in states like georgia. and this plan that was apparently afoot to change doj's leadership, after doj failed to perpetuate the big

lie. and agreed that there was voter fraud during the 2020 election. this is the case that she is making to doj. telling them that she should go ahead and prosecute frankly, chris, it was an awfully compelling case. >> and there are a lot of people on the outside, clearly we know now, ashley parker, along this of people writing to mark meadows imploring him to get trump to get control of the situation. to get the insurrectionists to stop those texts that liz cheney read through today. also, more of them from these unidentified lawmakers. this is quite a trove of information. at least by the committee. >> it sure is. we had a little sense of that before but this now gives us more specifics, right? that these fox news hosts were reaching out to meadows. that trump's own's son, reached out to him. another issue to strike the deal with, that the family dynamic that the oldest son

would be in contact with the chief of staff. and the person under question would want to know from meadows, is when he gets these text, he's telling the people, yes they are trying to get them to make a statement. but did meadows actually do that? because he hasn't history of being dishonest and telling people what they want to hear but not actually acting on it. and if he didn't do that, which we necessarily don't know from those mornings, what was that the president's reaction? what did trump say when meadows passed on some of these warnings and calls for basically desperate calls for help? you can see why the committee wants a lot of these questions answered. but they also [inaudible] >> yes, stan stein, he said that he had no criminal intent, but clearly members of the committee believe that he uniquely knows is again, what

did he do with those text? who did he talk to? did he go to the president? and what was the response to it? >> yes, meadows has the worst of all worlds. here he turned over some incriminating text messages and then asked not to have those communications be privileged. i don't know why he was acting like that. but it does paint this picture of a chief of staff that could've intervene in the question that he did raise. what stood out to me is two things. one is the journalistic malpractice of the fox news host privately trying to advise the people that they cover on a specific path forward. and then of course, on the program's downplaying the severity of the night. i would, say even themselves were worried about it. that is one. and two is that everyone recognizes that trump had a role to play. intending what was happening at the capitol.

even people who are chief in the media, his own son, and his chief of stuff all recognized implicitly that he had a role to play in tapping down what was going on. and trump didn't. and i don't know what that is from criminal perspective, but from a political perspective, that strikes me is very damaging. it shows that all these people were waiting for the president to act, and he just did not in that moment of need. >> so let's look at the legality of it, joyce alene vance, daniel goldman tweeted this today. the time for mark meadows to hide behind executive privilege, was before he turned over documents. the laws clear. one, he must appear to make an executive private claim. and to, he cannot make any executive privilege claim about the subject matter in documents he has already turned over. no back seize on i ep. >> he did testify today, who is right? >> well of course he is right,

there are no back seize on privilege. and once you have turned over documents saying that explicitly they are not privileged, it's sort of game or ever. there is apparently in entire documents that were meadows's lawyer submitted what is called a privilege log. they identified the documents and set forth what type of privilege they were asserting in those documents. let's leave that aside for the moment, and talk just about what was turned over. it was turned over without insertion of privilege which at some point, apparently on the same day that meadows book is published. he decides it's no longer a good idea for him to show up. none of this is behaving in a fourth right on this matter with the committee. and that is what is under discussion here. the question, is whether or not meadows is engaging in contempt of congress. and by failing to testify about material that he himself is the one who turned over to the committee told them that it wasn't privileged.

nothing could really be clear then those earlier statements that he is now trying to roll about. >> and the question overall, sam stein, it's the most important thing. is upholding the constitution. it's that backing up your friends. i mean, mark meadows used to be trump's biggest supporter in congress. we know, that, but he was in congress. >> right. >> having said that, do you think it's all shocking that he apparently, did so little to protect the institution and his former colleagues inside who seem to be begging him to get them help? >> no. it's not shocking at all. both for people who know mark meadows. but also for the current era of politics that we are in. what i just said is that we had a whole host of fox news host. who privately, clearly thought that this was a problematic moment for the public. and one of the president to intervene. and the subsequent nights, they downplayed the significance.

of it and that didn't mention anything of this, it'll they mention their world in the, subtle were any of the text that were sent. >> exactly. , and i don't expect them to, either. because that's just a political ran. meadows, in prior congress, is with the democratic administration, surely would have taken the position that members of congress, having constitutional obligation to conduct oversight as well as authority to obtain the records of the executive branch, unless there are certain issues of privilege and pray a play. now he's not in that position. he's arguing that it's not important. i'm not surprised at all. this is just the reality we are in and there are just a few people who let principal drive them these days, and mark meadows clearly not one of. them >> so to understate, actually, parker, joe biden has a lot on his plate. he's trying to get his agenda passed, combatting inflation, he's got a resurgent pandemic. now you've got a huge portion of our country that is coping with an unimaginable disaster.

in this moment, how is the white house responding, and figuring out how to deal with all of these multiple challenges? >> if you just take the tornadoes, this is very natural, the way in a traditional white house response, but especially someone like president biden who is so empathetic and so such as consoler in chief at these moments so i was with him on saturday in wilmington when they made unscheduled remarks, to talk about it. it came through there that he really believes this is not about democrats or republicans. he will do absolutely anything to get some help to these people. so that visit wednesday, in his eyes, is a political. for the other stuff he is doing everything he can. he had this call with senator

manchin. the problem is, president biden is not an arm twister, not someone to bring down the hammer. someone like senator manchin who trump won his state by 40 points, it's not clear that that would be particularly effective anyhow. so he's trying to negotiate with him in good faith on some of these other things, they passed infrastructure, they passed that, but that big covid relief bill, they are working on ramping up more testing and getting the covid pill ready and get ready to vaccinated and get boosters. . so some of this is trying to do what they can and also waiting for that -- when they say in what they believe they have really done, which they are proud of, and the result. people are feeling right now because they are not back to normal with covid. and inflation, those very tangible things that people feel is very -- >> ashley parker, sam, stein joyce vance, thanks to all of you. senate democrats searching for way around that obstacle from

west virginia that actually just mentioned as they try to ramp up the bill cut build back better plan for christmas. then later, why hospitals in one state are buying full page newspaper ads, and why they are pleased may still be ignored. we'll check back with an er doctor on the covid front nines. the 11th hour, just getting underway on a monday night. n a monday night

doing or whatever congress and doing it should do within what we can afford. i don't think that's a fair

evaluation of saying that we are going to spend x amount of dollars but then we're going to have to depend on coming back and finding more money. >> earlier today senator joe manchin spoke with president biden about his build back better package. the white house called the conversation constructive, but manchin has yet to support the presidents roughly two trillion dollar bill. so far senator manchin remains a pivotal obstacle in advancing that legislation, and senate majority leader chuck schumer's deadline to pass the bill is fast approaching. >> the work is not yet finished, but we are working hard to put the senate in a position to get the legislation across the finish line before christmas. >> we welcome back don calloway, democratic strategist and founder of the national voter protection action fund, and michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee, former lieutenant governor of maryland. he's also the host of the michael steele podcast. good to see you. so don, i guess the good news is biden and manchin are still talking. the bad news for democrats anyway is mansions very public

concerns about rising debt, about the cost of the proposal. do you think the question now is, how much are both sides willing to move on the scope of this package? where are we? >> i don't think that's the question, actually, chris. the question is not how much democrats were both sides willing to move, the question is where is the president and when is the senate majority leader going to act like -- when are they going to stop joe manchin from this vice grip he has the entire party, and frankly the entire congress in. they cannot let one person stymie entire progress around climate action, around sustainability, around gun control. and that is effectively where joe manchin is doing. it's so fundamentally in disingenuous. he didn't ask anything about tvo score about ford ability when it came to a trillion dollar defense spending bill that we passed last week, which is absolutely nothing to do with things that we will currently use or in the future use to defend our country. it's a job creation bill, just

like everything else he wants to pass. joe manchin is holding on to some idyllic notion of spending and not expanding the welfare state but, the reality is he is hurting folks in appalachia that need help more than anybody. it's really time that the president acted like bosses and got joe manchin out of the way by using the awesome power of the incentives and the power of the purse they have to make him fall in line with everybody else. >> michael steele, that faux frustration we just heard from our friend is repeated by an off an awful lot of democrats. and white house press secretary jen psaki was asked about senator manchin's inflation concerns. look, he is the center of this conversation. here is how she responded. >> nobel laureates who have conveyed this will help address inflation over the long turn. people who are planning, they are looking at their budgets for next year, maybe the first quarter of next year, the first

half of next year, and they're trying to figure out how to pay for childcare and how to make sure they can put food on the table. this build back better plan will help lower costs for people across the country. >> not sure, though, michael steele, how likely those arguments are to ease economic anxiety. >> they're not going to ease economic exotic. they are legitimate questions and legitimate arguments to make about how much money we have spent since 2016, 2017. and if you go back to the early days of the obama administration coming out of the economic downturn and the money that was used to infuse the economy then, they spent a lot of money that has been spent. the question is, okay, what's ultimately is the impact? from a fiscal standpoint, and that's illegitimate concern. but there is also the political realities of what happens if you play this short game of

trying to avoid ticking off manchin and trying to avoid appeasing the far extremes in your party on the left, while staring at the possibility of speaker jim jordan and majority leader mcconnell and so the reality of it is, if you don't get something done, that latter part becomes a reality, regardless of the economics. and then you are on a whole different space. you will have achieved nothing. so don is exactly right. when you look at the balance of the politics and the economics, you are going to have the economic solutions to deal with inflation, which, you know, you can deal with first quarter, second quarter, next year. you're gonna have the economic solutions to deal with the impact overall in the economy. with the >> but there is no solution on the political front if you

don't confront the reality that is staring in front of you, with the filibuster, other measures that you have, the dawn noted, to pull manchin, rein him in, get him in line with the presidents agenda. >> but looking realistically at where we are, and schumer has several weeks to meet a self-imposed goal, to finish the legislation, conventional wisdom is that if this gets pushed to 2022, the midterm, here it is exponentially harder to get it done. do you buy, don, that conventional wisdom, and if so, how much harder? >> 1000%. if this doesn't happen before a december 31st at midnight or, frankly, january 3rd, whenever the new congressional year begins, it does not happen. because going into next year, next year is a do nothing year because neither leader in either chamber want to subject their members to the difficult votes in advance of midterm election. and then they're going home to campaign, members are going home to make the case is for

why they should be reelected, and frankly, no one wants to risk their position by giving the other side a political talking point. so the year of the actual midterm is very much a do nothing here in congress, and i think that's important for people to keep in mind as you are looking at the cadence of how public office actually works. next year is pretty much a do nothing year. i would also suggest, though, since we haven't done anything to reform the filibuster and we haven't asked any iteration of the voting rights bill, next year's a year in which we can see extraordinary payoffs at the ballot box, because we haven't done anything to change this hodgepodge mismatch a voter suppression laws that have passed in multiple states throughout the union. we are headed towards political disaster and an actual functional do nothing congress in 2022, and i don't see that changing with bills changing in the next 12 days, primarily because chuck schumer, joe biden, and company have done nothing to rain in the cloud show that joe manchin and

kristen sinema. >> don calloway and michael steele will stay with. this shout out to all those people at kentucky state university. we are thinking about you tonight. coming up, when it comes to that twice impeached former guy, who better to define the power he still holds over his party than the woman who once soundly defeated him in the popular vote? when the 11th hour continues. 11th hour continues do you take aspirin? plain aspirin could be hurting your stomach.

new vazalore is the first liquid-filled aspirin capsule clinically shown to cause fewer ulcers than plain aspirin. vazalore is designed to help protect... releasing aspirin after it leaves your stomach... where it is absorbed to give you the benefits of life saving aspirin... to help prevent another heart attack or stroke. heart protection with your stomach in mind. try new liquid-filled vazalore. aspirin made amazing! the one advantage trump has and

to some extent still holds, is he is so outrageous in attacking our institutions and undermining our rule of law, that it is hard for people to believe, literally, what they are seeing before them. and sadly, the republican party has gone along with him. they have hung their spines up on the wall as they walk into their offices. they have no conscience, they have no spine. and we are seeing the results of a party that has been taking over by a demagogue. >> on that note, hillary clinton also predicted the former president will run again in 2024. and said if he wins, it may be the end of american democracy. still with us, don calloway and michael steele, i mean michael, to the former secretary of state's point, how do you get the american people to take seriously the attacks by trump

institution? it may be in the beginning but you can hardly believe what you are hearing. then the concern was, well, everyone was just too exhausted to think about it or talk about it. how do you get them to react to what they are seeing before it's too late? you know, that has been the challenge from the very very beginning. across the board. when you begin to look at it as clinton has their finger to protect an important pulse. and that is the leadership within the republican ranks. would that have appeased and explained and excused all of this behavior. we are watching right now just prime example by mark meadows. what he has exposed trump and explained to those around him, to abide by his recklessness

with covid. and then what trump calls them out about would having printed on the books, he goes out and said, yes, my book is basically fake news. you just sit there and you think, okay. this is the level that we are dealing with. it is hard when you need both parties. because that is all we got right now unfortunately, two parties. right? that are pulling in different directions. one pulling towards democracy. the other pulling away from it. it is hard to move the american people in large slots. and that is the difficulty right now. in the past, despite our political disagreement. you notice this, you covered it. and as a journalist was you talked about in the show. we all pulled in the same direction because we believed fundamentally in this experiment. and the founding institution that helps govern it.

>> and you could follow it right, michael? because now you are in a situation where everything changes every minute. it isn't just that mark meadows decided that he is going to disinvite his own book. that it was set up where he is not going to cooperate with the committee after giving them all that paperwork. so, who don calloway, i'm sure you saw this. in the new york times columns, this is the latest column, we are edging closer to civil war. as an example, he drew parallels between the bush and fight on slavery, 200 years ago. and that they are both about subjugation. and he goes on to write this, quote, all of us should be very worried about what we see happening with these abortion cases. not just women who might need abortion syrup looted and friends who might need them. we should worry about whether or not we are at an inflection point for an age of regression. what don calloway, do you think that we are already at that point? >> we very much. are he is correct anything some

uncomfortable freezes particularly two words that we do not want to use lightly. civil war. because we've been through that in this country. and unfortunately, that is where we. our let's have a serious talk about the cause and analysis. there is a woman and two black men on this panel. this country was founded upon an idea that neither of us would've been able to participate in an open dialogue, let alone govern in some leadership in this country. and we are moving to a place where the science of data and population have been showing up for some time. and we are moving to a place where we will be a majority nonwhite country in a very short period of time. and we are already there in many places in this country. so the question is, are the institutions that set up this country willing to fight to preserve a space in which neither of the three of us are fundamentally allowed to participate. what we saw on january six is the extent to which people are willing to go to preserve a white, male, hetero sexes

patriarchy. we -- that this country was built upon. it has never been a fair and fundamentally equitable place. and what are we going to do? are we going to embrace the concept of a multi racial, multi cultural democracy. or are we going to fight to preserve a place in which everyone is not allowed to fundamentally equally participate? that is what we saw on january six. we see one party pushing for the multi racial democracy of inclusion. we see another party pushing for the preservation of white male supremacists, hetero success patriarchy. and you know, i think that civil war is a drawing term to hear. but right now, we are definitely at an inflection point at the fork in the road. and i don't have a whole lot of faith that within the two party system, we are all pushing in the same direction. >> right, and charles acknowledges that. and i encourage people to read the entire column and get the context. but thank, you don calloway, michael steele. appreciate seeing both of you tonight. and coming, up we are going to get an update from an indiana er doc. on the situation on his

there is a tidal wave of omicron coming. and i'm afraid that it is now clear that two doses of vaccine aren't simply enough. >> that tidal wave of omicron cases coming to the uk is likely in our future to. even as hospitals here are already dealing with spiking delta cases in a likely holiday surge. in minnesota, hospitals have published a full page ad in newspapers across the state, saying, they are heartbroken and overwhelmed. the ad warns their ability to provide timely care is threatened. an urgent many to get vaccinated. an encourage loved ones to do the same. minnesota is hardly alone.

the u.s. official hit 50 million cases, and 800 million deaths today. with more than 100,000 new cases reported each day. back with us tonight, dr. steven semple, he's an er physician at memorial hospital and health care in jasper indiana. he is also a voluntary clinical faculty care from indiana school of medicine. it is good to have you back, a lot to talk about. but let's talk about what we always ask. what are you seeing in your hospital right now? >> good evening chris, thanks for having me. it is awful right now. there is no other word for it. that's sucks. it is not fun. it's not funny. we are shot, we are exhausted, our numbers are higher than they've ever been consistent suddenly higher than they have other been and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel these waves have been coming back to back. and you just see a whole lot of stuff and all the associated people in the hospital just

sort of melting right before your eyes, the cases are up. the admissions are, up and the hospitals are full most in every hospital in this country is going through some sort of an international disaster whether they call it that or that they are paying super duper triple quadruple overtime to the nursing staff. begging them to work 80 hours a week. everybody is underwater there is no room at the end and it is no good. >> yes we thought those days of doctors and nurses crying in their hospitals because they just can't take it anymore we're over. and clearly they are not. and we open the atlantic, and they have two stories today about covid denial. one is called, gen z's done with covid. and in the other one, which the headline is, where i live no one cares about covid, the author writes this from southwest michigan. i'll tell the world inhabited by the professional and managerial classes in a handful of major metropolitan areas,

many, if got most americans are leading their lives as if covid is over. and they have been for a long while. there's not an accurate to you? >> for sure. yeah, that's been the case for a lot of our population from the jump. and it's really difficult because pandemic fatigue has set in aging a month ago, and we're still doing. this it's setting in for me it's sitting in for my family and this adjustment of this is not a zero sum game and so these gen z kids, they can look at the statistics, they can say in general we do pretty well, and they are managing to manage the risk as they do. the problem becomes, we have a 60, 70 year old people who both don't get vaccinated, continue to deny that covid is a real thing. sucking wind and looking

surprised -- >> and when you see a number like one out of every hundred americans over 65 has been killed by covid, you just wonder, what is it going to take to make people sit up and take notice? time magazine called vaccine scientists the 2021 heroes of the year. i'm not disputing that but they and you have to be looking at it and saying, yeah, but if city people still refused to get maxed vaccinated and wear masks, where does that leave us? >> evolutionarily, this virus was perfect. it kills a whole lot of people. but it doesn't kill most of the people. it is very easy when most of us go through life without somebody very close to us who has died or come close to dying. it's easy for us to just say, you know, my friend had, it was like a bad cold, until it strikes them. and this virus, we know some risk factors, but it is so wacky how it will just reach

out and it will smack the hell out of a healthy 32 year old kid, and they come in and they look at me and they're like, it's this bad? and at that point it's too late for them. so we just have to hope that their youth and their strength gets them through. but it takes touching the individual person or somebody they really love before people start to change their minds. >> i do want to give you an opportunity, and i think it's important, for us to acknowledge, a lot of people out there are exhausted by, this right? but maybe they just need a little push to do the right thing, and so in that spirit, as a public service i will ask you a question we have asked so many times before. what is your advice for people still planning to get together for the holidays? >> this is really hard. as a doctor, as the only dark in my family and the guy who people call them -- >> i can only imagine. >> my daughter's cousins dads

hadn't exposure at work and they were soccer practice together three weeks ago. what do we do? i don't know. nobody knows. it's too complicated. so what i am doing is protecting me and mine. we are not isolating this christmas. we are getting together. however every single person in my family who is going to be with us who is of age is going to be fully vaccinated, and by fully vaccinated i mean three doses, not too, of the mrna vaccine, or two doses of the j&j or the astrazeneca. that is the new definition of fully vaccinated, whether it's official or not i don't know, i don't care, because we know that that's the case. and we are getting together with those people. and here is what i recommend to people as well. don't be bullied to this christmas. there is a lot of pressure. don't let your family bully you into having unvaccinated cousin eddie and his four kids over to hug on your mom off for christmas. either he goes or you go. so i'm not going to go to those

gatherings. i'm just. not doing it because we know the risks. so i mitigating mine. your family is going to be a little different based on who is in your household, who is going to be around, what they have. but i am surrounding myself with vaccinated people. full stop. >> people who watch this program no, we all know what we have to do. it's a matter of, again, finding the will to do it. dr. stephen sample, thank you. and coming up, more on the destruction left up by friday's tornadoes and how some of the loss of life could've been prevented when the 11th hour continues. continues. hey hun hey, get your own vapors relax with vicks vapobath or with vicks vaposhower.
