these pain clinics and there it was i mean it was cars from all over the eastern seaboard as far away as west virginia and kentucky and ohio and they'd come even bus loads of people may come and see this parking lot full of chorus from out of state and these body guards outside these pain clinics and these lines of people waiting outside these pain clinics and inside you get in and then i went in with us a camera super camera and i just was able to see how easy it was to get your hands on you know a bottle of oxy carton and percocet and whatever it was you needed and i mean it was as easy as me going in and talking to the receptionist and telling them you know i'd love to see the doctor i'd love to get some have my hands on some prescriptions i have a back pain and she's like yeah we can give you this this this and this and gave me the whole list of prescriptions that i was going to be able to get and then we followed the trail of prescriptions and saw sort of the trail of devastation and death all the way up to kentucky and west virginia and yeah it was it was incredible it was one of those stories t

pantene >>> last thing before we go tonight there is a great place called charlestown, west virginia not farhe far northeast corner of the state. charlestown was named after its founder charles washington little brother of george washington. charlestown is the headquarters of the county school district in that part of west virginia and we are highlighting them tonight because of this. a letter sent out anticipating today's snow day. it was sent to parents and children from the superintendent dr. gibson and it reads, dear jefferson county schools community. for generations families have greeted the first snow day of the year with joy. it is a time of renewed wonder at all the beautiful things that each season holds. a reminder of how fleeting a childhood can be. an opportunity to make some memories with your family you can hold on to for life. for all these reasons and many more jefferson county schools will be completely closed for tomorrow, december 16th, in honor of the first snow day of the year. closed for students, closed for virtual, closed for staff. it has been a year of seemingly en

far south as georgia. the more concentrated lays up in the that will further dos, be honest, west virginia. northwards in that car will edge towards the east coast snow for a time. then the tocsin is colder. there are breaks of snow over the rockies, but nothing significant here. but if you follow the wind direction, trust florida, than he or not, is that cold over the warm waters generated yet again, pretty heavy rain stormy conditions out in quite possible up through texas to oklahoma in the backwash here is also more snow for the texas panhandle. that's something we need to probably watch by the middle of the week. and as that cold front, the one that gives you the rain and the east coast comes out through cuba towards mexico and billie's out to be significant rain, particularly on this lower end and overground that doesn't need any more potential flooding. the seasonal rains existing and concentrating over costa rica and little less over panama, in the caribbean. this time the you tend to get daily showers for the time being. they're largely absent an invitation to bear witness to all t

as far as wearing your face covering and so on like that, that is an executive order that is mandated. i commend you because across west virginia, you probably were 97% of people that are going in public buildings and whatever, going with the masks. honest, be perfectly when we started this thing, dr. marsh would have been jumping through hoops and everything and really happy about that. but if we can get 97, why can't we get 100? when it boils right down to it, we have some people, some folks that are still probably hung up on whatever principles that may be, but i keep going back to the same thing. you know, if i don't believe in these masks, i don't think they work, and i don't believe that somebody ought to mandate for me to wear them, let me just make it real simple. i don't believe in it, and i don't think it's right. please tell me one thing. what does it hurt to do it? what does it hurt? what if it didn't do anything to make things better, and surely the goodness -- it doesn't have anything to do with your rights or taking away your guns are taking away something. what does it hurt? what does it hurt to wear this mask?

so far we have heard back from the states of florida, indiana, oklahoma, mississippi, missouri, montana, north dakota and west virginiaen to this. we are told that none of them is available to discuss why they have signed on to this effort. mind you, these are the attorneys general who do not want to talk about why voters in their states should have their ballots tossed out. you heard charlie dent say it. it's disenfranchisement. it's incredible this is where we are. we'll keep you posted. >>> health officials across the country are running out of room for all the sick people. we'll take you inside a covid so the ward that was once a parking garage. stressballs gummies have ashwagandha, an herbal stress reliever that helps you turn the stressed life... into your best life. stress less and live more. with stressballs. and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of tr

turkey and it will bring some star briefly as far south as georgia, the more concentrated lays up in the that will further those to be honest, west virginia northwards not cold edge towards the east coast snow for a time. then the tocsin is colder. there are breaks of snow over the rockies, but nothing significant here. but if you follow the wind direction, trust florida than he or not, is that cold over the warm waters generated yet again, pretty heavy rain, stormy conditions, i think quite possible up through texas to oklahoma in the backwash here is also more snow for the texas panhandle. that's something we need to probably watch by the middle of the week. and as that cold front, the one that gives you the rain in the east coast comes out through cuba towards mexico and delays out of the significant role. particularly on this lower end and overground that doesn't need any more potential flooding. the seasonal rains existing, concentrating over costa rica and little less over panama, in the caribbean. this time the you tend to get daily showers for the time being. they're largely absent. what's most important to me is talking to people

virginia indians, the africans that first arrived here, and their plight during the american civil war. thousands and thousands of years ago, the natives of this land started to migrate. they migrated as far wests mexico and the mississippi river valley. they migrated as far south as south america and central america. they migrated all the way here to point comfort, where fort monroe is located today. they were hunters, they were gatherers, and they lived a very successful and prosperous life here. in 1607, the english had come here, and by that time the virginians had learned and mastered the art of cultivation. the english would struggle the first few years. , too, would prosper. we know from john rawls, the secretary of ecology that in 1619, 29-odd negroes arrived here. they were traded for goods. after that, we see the evolution of laws and rules and regulations that would start to manage the african population here in hampton. next, we are going to look at the war of 1812 and find out why this fort is now in existence and how it came about. why is the largest stone fort in the united states here today? the war of 1812 was a backdrop to that story. in 1812, the british once again invaded t

in west virginia, governor justice has now led an effort where almost every single resident in the facilities has been vaccinated. governor lamont is not far behind. when clinics are set up, the residents are taking the vaccine. 95% of residents are taking the vaccine. as awful as it's been, as tragically as it's been, there's light at the end of the tunnel. >> that is very encouraging. it takes commitment and money, resources starting from the top and those states for governors to say, okay, here are the resources, the money in order to carry out this testing? >> absolutely. what i learned as a governor is the most power of a governor isn't their ability to sign bills or veto bills or give a statement at the state speech. it's really in the bully pulpit. we challenge every governor in the country to try to figure out what it is that governor justice and governor lamont have done and do the same thing in their states. if every governor would say we'll have every resident vaccinated with their first dose in january, by the time we got to the 1st of march, the covid death rates in this country would be cut in half. that's with a limited amou

as far as the snow impacts go, the heaviest snow from cleveland to buffalo through west virginia.ll wake up to a white christmas in those areas. we may get a little bit of snow in central pennsylvania, but the biggest issue is going to be heavy rainfall ahead of this storm, and the same areas that had two to three feet of snow last week, we're expecting flood impacts in areas of new york and also central p.a. and look at these wind gusts. be prepared for power outages, southern new england, long island, and new jersey coast as we go throughout christmas morning. charge those devices today or those christmas presents today because you may not have power come tomorrow. so yes, scary forecast there, [002:12:31;426]

far. friday saw the highest number of deaths, over 3,300. and more hospitalizations and new cases than any day since the pandemic began. dr. rob davidson is now with me. he's an emergency room physician in west virginiadson, thank you so much for -- excuse me, in michigan -- to join us. has your hospital heard anything about the rollout of the vaccine and when exactly it will be available to you? >> yeah, it looks like next week we're going to start getting vaccine injected into the arms of staff. they've basically stated a general framework of how they're going to do that, starting with intensive care and emergency department staff and then going through folks that are having front line, facing patients, people in the hospital. it doesn't look like we're going to have enough doses to get every member of the emergency department and icu staff, but we all signed up on email, so we're on the list. we'll be getting our calls early next week to know our appointment time. i'm anxious to get in the line and get that done. >> would you have wanted for everyone to get it at the same time or does it have to be done in shifts for safety? >> yeah, i mean, certainly they're looking at that so we don't give every

people are hurting in west virginia, they are hurting in every state. we are in worst pandemic as farto get through the difficult times than we've ever had and that's people that are losing everything as far as benefits are running out and there's more shutdown and no outside dining and inside dining has been shut down. so much that needs to be assistance here. 560 billion left over from the first cares package and that's what leader mac connell is calling the skinny package. he wants to get that out the door. we put with democrats and republicans working another 48 billion makes it 908, 908 of new money. people think it's too much or not enough, our leadership will look at this in a constructive way. brian: some of the things, a lot of money. 160 billion for state and local governments, they can decide what they want to do with it? >> no, they cannot. the language is much different. we are not making the mistakes of the past. mitt romney and all my friends, bill cassidy and myself, susan collins, we are committed to making sure there's accountability. brian: democrat run cities, stat

west virginia? requestyou still had to your ballots. they did not do much mailing. you had to have them in time. these states that send them out so faradvance, why couldn't the people mail them in in time to get them thereby election so they would be there? so much noticed of how far out the election was, if they mailed them from their district that they are voting in and they were processed in the area that they were being counted in, why did they have to go so far out of their district to be processed? in each statewn has a mailing process. host: we appreciate your phone call. news from georgia, nbc news tweeting this, the georgia secretary of state says authorities have seen no substantial changes in the second recount of the presidential election. i think that is the last chance they will have there in georgia before that state certifies the election. california, fred is on our democrats line. good morning. caller: thank you for taking the call. there are so many different ways to think about this. i wonder if you thought about all of the voter fraud in north carolina and south carolina where those two republican senators won the
