collins. the active partnership he mentioned which highway has spearheaded under ows involved more than 20 pharmaceutical companies and other parts and the nih continued to expand the accelerating medicines partnership for other serious health challenges like alzheimer's and schizophrenia. to close i'll note as extraordinary as this scientific achievement is, getting this vaccine is more or less just like any other vaccine we receive. we have to follow the right mask wearing and social distancing precautions today, but otherwise, this is just like nih health care workers or hhs health employees getting their annual flu shots. americans should know this vaccine has been through the kind of searching and independent review that they expect for any drug or vaccine at the food and drug administration. i made it a personal priority to ensure that we were not cutting any corners in this development process. that the standards and data being used were fully transparent and that the final decisions ma

the collins family and friends, thank you for joining us. i would now like to interviews you to george washington university president thomas leblanc. >> good evening, everyone, and thank you for your introduction. of course, for your significant contributions and ongoing commitment to space a story. i'm pleased to welcome you all to the george washington university listener auditorium and to join you for this event, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing. i would especially like to thank our cosponsors, the smithsonian national air and space museum, and the u.s. state department and this evening's distinguished panelists, major general collins for your participation. it is an honor for us to hear from you this evening. i would also like to recognize gw's john logsdon at our elliott school of international affairs and founder of the gw space policy institute. the institute's research and integration into a robust, academic program is one of our university's most significant contributions to the space field. a world le

collins. viewers have tons of questions, critically important questions on what's going on right now. as i said, these are life-and-death questions. we'll continue our conversation right after this quick break. the ups and downs of frequent mood swings can take you to deep, depressive lows. or, give you unusually high energy, even when depressed. overwhelmed by bipolar i? ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. vraylar effectively treats depression, acute manic and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for all bipolar i symptoms, with just one pill, once a day. elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, which may mean a life-threatening reaction, or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be permanent. side effects may

collins. he's standing by, live. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. unfortunately

commissioner collins? i first want to say thank you to all the parents. i want to give a special shoutout to anna, my girl moan. she's pacific islander, and tongan students perform very well throughout the country, and they're not even counted in the school district. but she's still here, right? in community, in solidarity to help advance the work that we want to do for our students. i just want to mention that because there's a lot of folks that also are not recognized in our school districts that are here in solidarity, so i just want to recognize you. the comment around the school renamings. i do support. schools are ready to go, communities are ready to go. i think that schools that are not prepared, you know, we should support them around that process, as well, right? i don't think we should be held up in, you know, causing more stress in things that, you know, folks could probably figure out on their own on the ground. i did make a comment at the buildings and grounds committee in terms of having com

within 6 weeks of being up here i was at susan collins's office, 20 senators talking about immigration, working on immigration reform. the hottest topic of the day and i marvel at the fact and i was in the room being part of those discussions. what was even more astonishing to me was people wanted to hear what i had to say. that didn't happen having grown up and raised 3 children, you don't always get that when people -- they did and i was so gratified and honored. we would meet in senator collins's office at in hideaways and we came so close, we came so close, within three votes of doing what they said couldn't be done, doing something that was possible but not probable. what i saw of my colleagues, why we ran for the senate, i could see it and feel it in those rooms and discussions on the floor that day as people were voting. i remember sitting in the cloakroom as disappointed as ever when we failed. for a long time probably still to this day when i asked what is your most disappointing day of the senate i will talk about that vote that failed so close which was so important, what it

saying somehow brian kemp got together with her to keep doug collins off the ballot.w trump is not playing four dimensional chess. he's eating the chess pieces. >> i worked on a couple elections down south. it's a different world. those who read your book i'm enjoying it. know you have family roots in georgia. and you talk about the elections down south. there sa will the to it that you are authentic. rural voters will want that biography to be real. you have loeffler from illinois. nothing wrong with that. her biography there's a long piece talking about how much she was imported into georgia. and buy a senate seat. and turns around and makes money off her inside knowledge of the pandemic. as did perdue. and you have the two guys super-flawed. they have issues. and the way they're fighting to keep a seat is down the republican establishment in their state. and go after the pastor of a baptist church. and saying it comes from the pit of hell. i don't get it. >> i don't get it either. you are right. i told people about campaigning at least in my neck of the woods in no

collins will join me in just a moment. all as concern over mutation of the virus in the united kingdom is growing, with dozens of countries now banning travel from the uk and three airlines are requiring testing for passengers arriving from london into new york. pfizer says its confident will be effective against the mutated strain but that its partner, biontech, could produce an updated vaccine in six weeks if it was necessary. nbc's ellison barber is at a hospital in springfield, missouri, where vaccine distribution hit a brief snag. hey, ellison, i understand that hospital is getting a second shipment of the moderna vaccine after logistical errors left them thousands of doses short. what happened to make this first day of distribution go wrong? >> reporter: yes, so 7,000 doses, that's how many they were expecting to get yesterday. >> wow. >> reporter: and they did not get any of the 7,000 doses at this springfield hospital. things did get back on track, though, this afternoon, or late this morning, about an hour ago we

in the end, maine went as bill green hoped: for democrat joe biden and reblican susan collins.ed on what you know about this independent streak in maine, did it make sense what happened this time? m >> f this election meant that people here thought no one us.oing to do thar to >> i think what goes on in washington doesn't have to much to do with it, politics should be local and the big name brand, republicans and democrats, that came in and upset our sysm, upset our state, i think were wrong. >> it st the idea >> brown: if the idea of "local" still means something in maine, you can see some of the economic changes in the rural north, like here in millinocket, once one of the nation's leading ll towns. the mill opened in 1900. the town grew with it and became known as the "magicity." at its peak in the 1970s, the great northern paper company employed more than 2,000 people here. but, the mill closed in 2008. the town's population dwindled and aged. main street is now peppered with closed businesses. jimmy busque worked in the mill and . a former town councilor a few days after m

you know we would meet in senator collins office. it's exciting. and we came so close.remember that? we saint came so close. within about three votes of doing said could not be done. of doing something that was possible but not probable. what i saw of my colleagues is why we ran for the senate. i could see it, i could feel it in those rooms. i could sit on the floor that day is people were voting. it's why we wanted to be in this body. our member sitting in the cloakroom announced as as disappointed as ever will be failed. probably still to this day when i am asked what is most disappointing day in the senate i will always talk about that vote that fell so close. that was so important. but what it did demonstrate is through that effort, that effort that anything isre possible. you've got to come close sometimes before you get across the finish line. she got to play in the red zone a little bit before you get a touchdown pretty got hit that line. whatever we did it is possible. it's capable doing great things. we can do that. it's between here and there, it is not bad an

collins, welcome back to "meet the press. i have to tell you, there's something, it's such a relief to see these vaccines start to be shipped out. it can't come soon enough. and yet i do think we ought to step back, it's quite remarkable that we have a vaccine in such a short period of time it is less than a year from the first confirmed case, it appears, if we even backtrack to december of 2019 >> it is indeed astounding in just the space of some 11 months we've gone from a recognition of a new pathogen to a vaccine that we know is safe and effective. >> so distributing this vaccine and deciding who gets it first, we've seen with health care workers that they're supposed to get this vaccine first we've seen with i want to pull up a study that was out of miami-dade county jackson hospital system, and it was quite striking a survey of the health care workers, you know, this wasn't the general population but health care workers, just under half the respond it's said they would not be interesting in taking this first vaccine whi

and of course you have the president's supporters, duncan hunter, chris collins. chris collins is one of the first members of congress to support the president in public. >> duncan hunter as well. >> and duncan hunter, right, at a time when he was not the favored candidate. chris collins, as pamela mentioned, according to prosecutors, committed some of his crimes while on white house grounds. i mean that is stunning for the president to turn around. he just finally showed up to prison in october, and he's going to be out. duncan hunter, who misused his campaign funds, he and his wife were accused of, accused of that, he wasn't supposed to show up until january. he's not going to serve any time in prison. now remember, kate, i talked to the prosecutor who prosecuted duncan hunter just a few weeks ago and he told me one reason why he stuck around as long as he did, he was supposed to retire from the justice department earlier this year. he stuck around simply because he was fearful that trump was going to intervene and try to do something in his case as he did with

collins. >> yes [roll call vote] >> that's six ayes. >> all right. thank you very much. i just want to make sure. so we have a discussion of informational items which is. >> if you could load up? >> will do. >> thank you, sir. >> much appreciation for those in attendance and for board members. tonight we wanted, as you know, the resolution is just passed for our board and in terms of the moving in-person instructions that resolution calls for a plan to be presented on december 8th. but before we move forward, we wanted to give an update and then give the picture of what this parts of the plan could look like and so if you could advance that. so, as what drives us as a board and as a district is our mission and how critical it is that we pro he wide support so they can thrive in the 21st century. and during this time of the pandemic, and due to covid, we know this is negatively impacted all the students across the country and but especially marginal students from, students of color, our english learners have faced even more so in-person learning is what we do best and wha

. >> sandra: much more on all this with georgia congressman doug collins. he will join us next hour to discuss the senate runoff and president trump's continued legal fight there. >> trace: dr. scott atlas is resigning as trump's appointment. he praised the president for delivering on vaccines for the american people and wished the incoming administration all the best. atlas's views on the pandemic were criticized during his tenure but he defended his work to tucker carlson last night. >> i think we now saw that science has been politicized, america and its universities really need to allow, without attack, without rebuke, without intimidation, the free exchange of ideas because it is from the free exchange of ideas that scientific truths follow.

is -- one of the senate is being susan collins of all people, one of the most bipartisan senators, one of the most independent voters in the senate and this is a really good reminder how important those elections are. at the end of the day the quickest and easiest way people like this are going to get confirmed as if senate democrats retake the majority's, you have kelly leffler and david perdue in the fight of their lives, very much a black line of defense between americans and radical policies we see from the left and at the end of the day that ultimately americans across the country agree democrat-controlled the house, the senate and the white house is too much and it begins and ends with things like this. shannon: we know she's taken a lot of heat, folks saying good luck with this confirmation battle. will not be a lot of fun. people project she's not going to make it through, she sort of

hats off, joe manchin, mark warner, susan collins, jeanne shaheen, all of them, i'm going to miss them as we go through, lisa for dinner, again. we've come this far and this bill shows, 748 billion

and chris collins of up state new york, the first trump supporter in congress who pleaded to lying to the fbi and conspiring to commit securities fraud. he was the one who as a guest at the annual congressional picnic summer of 2017 was caught on camera phoning insider stock tips to his son from the south lawn of the white house according to the feds. also on this initial pardon list four military contractors who worked for blackwater and were all convicted of killing 14 unarmed iraqi civilians in

wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them and want to bring my counterpart and my friendd susan collins up. susan? >> thanks, joe. first, let me say that i think we've had a christmas miracle occur in washington. we have worked night and day for over a month, literally on thanksgiving day with texts, conference calls and zoom to put together an emergency covid relief package. each and every one of us has been committed to that goal. i want to thank my democratic and republican colleagues in the senate for working so hard to bring us to this day, but it also want to thank our house counterparts, josh gottheimer and tom reed who lead the problem solvers caucus in the house, who worked with us every step of the way. [applause] so these bills are not only bipartisan products, they are bicameral as well. my hope is that our hard work will spur our leadership on both sides of the aisle in the senate and in the house and in the administration to take our products and use them as the basis for a covid relief package that is urgently needed by our struggling families, our hard-hit small business

collins. and dr. collins is with us now doctor, thanks for being here. appreciate it. >> glad to be with you, shepherd >> i know you got the vaccine today. congrats and thanks for setting the example. help us understand this part, doctor, of all the vaccine doses available in america only 13% have been administered why? >> well, let's understand this is a pretty challenging logistics situation. it's only been about ten days since fda issued its emergency use authorization for pfizer and more recently for moderna. those doses then have to be shipped to the states because the states are responsible for figuring out then how they're going to administer those following cdc's recommendation -- >> so this is on the states? >> the states have their job to do again, let's be a little gentle here with complaining about the logistics. i think to get this number of doses into a system where arms start to get injected takes a little more than a couple of days we've only had about ten days since this began

which is available this friday on netflix here is our pal, lily collins.u on the show. so much has happened since i last saw you weirdly, i was talking to nick kroll about how he recently got married a few weeks ago -- >> oh yeah, yeah >> jimmy: and then it was really cool. but you got engaged. >> i did >> jimmy: look at this tell me about this >> i know. >> jimmy: congrats >> that is in santa fe, in new mexico and, um, charlie, my fiance, organized the whole thing. it was a total surprise. he literally set up his phone and his professional camera next to each other, and put the self timer on. and it's actually funny because he set it up, because we thought we were going to be doing a family portrait with our dog, redford, and i was like, "baby, it's recording, it's on video, like you need it on photo." and he is like, "oh, yeah. oops you are right." and then he like switched it to photo, and we took a photo and then i was like, "let's do another one. and he switched it to video without me knowing it. because i totally messed it up and called him out the f

chris collins was pardoned by president trump tonight for all of those crimes, although interestingly, trump did not pardon chris collins' son who was convicted alongside his father for his role in the fraud scheme. perhaps that was just an oversight. perhaps that will be in the next wave of trump pardons. trump also pardoned tonight republican congressman duncan hunter. congressman hunter pled guilty to misuse of campaign funds after investigation turned up truly impressive, almost lurid capacity for spending campaign money that did not belong to him, spending it on everything from a commercial airplane ticket for his pet rabbit to weekends away with his many, many mistresses to round after round after round of shots, large enough liquor bills that would put a large sized poorly behaved fraternity to shame, and he was just one corrupt member of congress spending money that was not his. but he was a trump supporting corrupt member of congress, so despite his guilty plea on corruption charges, congressman duncan hunter has now been pardoned. president trump also tonight pardoned a man

you were getting pressure, not from me or susan collins.they've been up here for 20 years and for 20 years the dollars and the sentence had prevented that from becoming a reality. we fought on that because we knew what we were doing was right that you couldt put a pricen the duty that we owed to the men and women of the armed services and their families.ie i will never forget that day that included the elimination of the tax and the gallery was a large group that had been up here for 2 years plus to try to get that done and had never been able to reach the goal and on that day, we did it. susan and i get a lot of credit but it was this body with help from the folks in the hou that made it happen and that is one of the memorable. days on the floor, swearing in day was unbelievable, simply an explosion of emotions. as a united states senato senate 37 years after i left the floor as a young staffer, my mtor to take the oath of office for his seatt was justemarkable, circle of life i hope that you all recognize by now the freshman class of 2018

i want to bring my counterpart and my friend, susan collins, up. llins: first of all, let me say that i think we have had a christmas miracle occur in washington. forave worked night and day over a month. literally on thanksgiving day with texts, conference calls, zooms, to put together an emergency covid relief package. one of us has been committed to that goal. i want to thank my democratic in theublican colleagues senate for working so hard to bring us to this day. but i also want to thank our house counterparts. reed,ottheimer and tom who leads the problem solvers caucus in the house, worked with us every step of the way. are not only bipartisan products, they are bicameral as well. our hard workat allow them to take our products and use them as a basis for a covid relief package that is urgently needed by our struggling families, our hard-hit small businesses, our stressed-out health care providers, our overwhelmed postal service, are challenged schools, and so many others. these bills are comprehensive. but, they do not cover everything that

we begin with kaitlan collins.dent is stepping up the pressure to make his personal wish list a reality. >> reporter: yeah, jim, he's saying it's going to be a death wish if they don't meet his demand and have those stimulus checks for $2,000, something he didn't request as his own treasury secretary was negotiating with lawmaker and now says it's something he want and has tweeted about. but now it's whether mitch mcconnell will bring it up for a vote. he addressed what the pr

so many of you went to bat for that bill, you are getting a lot of pressure not for me or susan collins, you're getting pressure from a lot of those military widows. they have been up here for 20 years, and for 20 years, the dollars and cents had prevented that from coming -- becoming a reality. we fought on that because we knew what we were doing was right, we knew it was right that you could not put a price on the duty we out to the men and women of our armed services and their families. i would never forget that day in december when we passed the ndaa that included the illumination of the widows tax. never being able to reach the goal, and on that day, we did it. you did it. susan and i get a lot of credit, but it was this body with the help of some folks in the house that made it happen. just one memorable day, swearingen day was unbelievable, some the an explosion of emotion. to walk into the floor as a senator some 30 years after i left as a young staffer to my mentor. to take the oath of office for his seat was just really remarkable, circle of life. are two's especially signific

collins, dr. fauci and so many members of the nih team for their hard work throughout the pandemic and especially on various elements of operation warp speed. i also want to recognize and thank the staff of the clinical center in particular. you have continued to provide care for patients who badly need it during this difficult time and your work is heroic. i myself am a patient of the nih clinical center. i'm so pleased to be here for this official kickoff of the vaccine developed by the nih research center, moderna, and other research partners and i'm pleased to be getting this vaccine myself. we've all said it is nothing short of miraculous to have a safe and effective vaccine within one year of a novel virus becoming known to the world. but when we need a medical miracle, we know where to look. we look to the brilliant dedicated scientists at the nih and passionate relentless researchers at america's innovative biotech companies. as a member of the hhs family it fills me with pride that the ni

in this episode where you interview dan collins he raises an interesting situation which is that he says american 5 g. is fake that there's no actual 5 g. it's like a potemkin telecom system we have a potemkin economy we have a potemkin monetary system none of it is real our dollars are not backed by gold it's not backed by even productivity or g.d.p. it's backed by men's with guns and i suppose that's a bit real but the fact is that we're just faking it like it's fake goods were have a fake high tech and that's harder and then like when china is to power on a lot of fake thing it fake also be funds pork buns in the south for sale and beijing that we've discussed over the years but when you're doing heights hack it's really hard of much harder to fake it right because things go seriously wrong a lot of high tech is interconnecting various devices around the world so when you can't it's hard to fake that the 5 g. in the u.s. is fake fries and for examples advertising they have 5 g. but it's available to something and i'm very spotty basis to maybe a few 100 people and that's it but they h

about half of the list on this pardon sheet are those non-violent drug offenders. >> pamela, collins and hunter were the first two endorsed. quite a return of investment all these years. >> you have to think about that in terms of the russia probe. now you have george papadopoulos where investigators said was not cooperative, roger stone and of course michael flynn and also alex swan was on here, too. he was convicted in the russia probe for lying to the fbi. this could be seen as a way of the president returning the favor for their loyalty for not cooperating with investigators and as well as you mentioned the two gop allies who were early supporters of the president. they were two people came out early onto throw their support behind the president. what's also interesting in this list and ip want to point out these two agents sentenced to prison, they were held at heroes basically and right wing media at the time. they're also on this list, that's also a common thread among some of the high-profile pardon on this list that many of them were heroes by right wing media in many of the

welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max keyser time now to turn to dan collins he is an entrepreneur he lived in china for 20 years now he's back in america dan welcome back max good to be back we have talked to over many years and he gave us an insider's perspective in what's going on in china for many years and a lot of what you said really is played out in real time now you warned our audience 18 months ago long before joe biden was even the nominee. that contre biden had issues and china now the department of justice is investigating him for tax evasion and money laundering what do we know about his business dealings in china dan it's been out there a wildly intercept as reported on this basically you know one and a half $1000000000.00 loan from the people's bank of china which she just doesn't happen or you feel as a foreigner you're not even allowed to have a private asset management company in china somehow he gets it and he's not the only one there are several high profile politicians that have made $100000000.00 this way out of china but 101800000000 dollars and then use tha

well, collins agreed saying daca amnesty to be the new congress' immigration purity.t a-- priority. it appears to be their priority period, doesn't it, instead of the american people. for shame. >>> well, turning now to wall street, another record close for all three market indexes. the dow up 249 points, the s&p up 3 32, the nasdaq gained 87. volume on the big board finishing out the week with a 5 billion-share session. and crude oil gaining more than 1% settling at $46.13 a barrel. and listen to my reports three times a day on the salem radio network. >>> up next, questions raised about the election results being tabulated in europe. that's right. former information warfare officer, forensic computer expert, retired army colonel phil waldron, he has been testifying around the country on this issue. no one knows more about it than does he. he joins us here in just a few moments. >>> also ahead, president trump's attorney, rudy giuliani, with us. more on the battle for the white house straight ahead right after these quick messages. at fisher investments, we do things
