jessica... jessica: no, it's okay. monica: i think the biggest problem is -- jessica: it's okay.s why i walked away -- 'cause i felt like a piss-on. all right? lemonis: you can sense that jess has a level of insecurity, and she became subservient 'cause monica wants to drive the process. and so rather than her trying to compete with monica, she just pulls back. lemonis: that's okay. we're gonna work through it. we just have to get everybody in the right roles so that everybody can be successful and we can sell product and everybody can smile again. we got to know what inventory is in this building and how much cash is here. we got to get it freed up. we have to rebuild the website and get every product on here, and if it doesn't belong, we got to get rid of it. we're gonna do more research about the sea buckthorn. we're gonna want to create scents around it. we're gonna want to create other products around it and build the whole lineup. monica: scents? lemonis: yeah. monica: that's so cool. lemonis: that's it. it's literally that simple. if you liquidated everything in this build

jessica: this is all original house? >> yeah. jessica: builder buz morris says it was a complicated and costly process, about $400,000 but now dozens more projects like it are underway, as flooded historic homes are losing value. >> people are looking at that from a money standpoint. they're saying if my home is going down 10%, 20%, 30%, so is it worth putting in the money to raise it? jessica: money that many of those on charleston's east side don't have. an area challenged by flooding and gentrification. derrick milligan, his mom has lived here for 80 years, her neighbors not so lucky. >> they're being forced out because they don't have flood insurance so they can't get the renovations they need. jessica: many, left to the mercy of nonprofits, like the sustainability institute, which helps weatherproof homes for those who can't afford it, like bedridden tom jefferson. charleston's vulnerable population most at risk. >> there are so many homeowners that need help and don't have the means to afford the types of upgrades they woul

jessica also feels she is being targeted on the streets.r the killing, police stopped her while she was being driven home. she is covering herface because she is worried the police will recognise her. we were actually right here. where the black car is. the driver immediately pulled over and a police officer rushed to the side of the car that i was on, and opened up the door, and he said that he was pulling us over because of the taillight, but it didn't make sense that he ran on my side of the door instead of the driver side. things then became more serious. i went to go get my cigarettes out of the car and then the officer holded up a white bag with a white substance in it, a small white bag, and he asked me, was that for me? and i said no. if it ain't yours... it's hers. inaudible. jessica says she doesn't know who the drugs belonged to, but the driver eventually took responsibility. she was let go. as i was walking away, the officer looked at me and he said "jessica," he said, "the only reason why you're not "going to jail with me today

and i don't know about jessica. but for some reason her bio didn't get into the -- you know, into the program. now, i don't know, it must have been the printer. couldn't have been anybody at the museum. no one's taking responsibility but i ought to say this. that she's from brookline, massachusetts, she's the mother of three, this is her third novel and there is a fourth one bubbling up there. you know, in her big brain. and she has a degree, an m.a. from harvard and an mfa from columbia. and has written, i think, a real tour deforce here. when i was drawn to in this book is it's about three women who are the widows of the plotters and conspirators who went after hitler in july 1944. and almost assassinated him. but it's not about that, the assassination. it's about the lives of the women in the aftermath of the assassination. and so it presents itself, to me at least as i'm reading, as a novel about resistance. these are the ones who took -- made the choice, and decided to risk their own lives. to save their countr

hi, jessica. i loved your book, i thought it was wonderful and that is a big reason why i agreed to come to this conference with my husband. so my questions were, the description of just the heroism involved, getting back to a normal life, putting social structures back together, it was very interesting. how did you decide to make the book about these three women, women in particular, who were the models of the three characters like marianne who was so unusual in that she was so vibrant and subborn. >> well, there was three very fictional characters, so i can't point to any of them as a model. i would say the marianne figure at the center of the book, she was a resistor in her own right, as well. i read a lot of memoirs of widows of the resistance, and one of the more striking ones to me, i think she was such a german type in a certain way. i think of marianne who was influential. and then the anya character draws a lot more from my family's stories and my grandmother's experience. and the third w

hi, jessica. i absolutely love your book. i thought it was wonderful and it's a big reason why i agreed to come to this conference with my husband. my questions were, the description of just the heroism involved in getting back to any sort of semblance of normal life and putting social structures back together. it was very interesting. how did you decide to make the book about these three women and also, who were the models for the three characters? especially marianne who is so strong and kind of unusual in the way -- in how vibrant and stubborn she was. >> yeah. they are three very fictional characters. i can't point to anyone, including my grandmother, as a model for a certain character. i would say the marianne figure, who's kind of at the center of the book and who was the woman who was a resist or in her own right as well. i read a lot of memoirs of windows of the resistance. one of the more striking ones to me, she was a very german type in a way. the anya character draws a lot more from my own family stories and my gr

jessica, the ex presses by brexit talks.ses saying what age she keeps blocks talk at 11th hour. the image of michelle barney eight with the dead—end road sign. he's going back to brussels tomorrow. where are we, where aren't we with these talks?” dare to ask. this is the thing that every brexit conversation just to be poured over until we got coronavirus. it's suddenly wrapping up coronavirus. it's suddenly wrapping up again. with finding out because we are in the final throes of this negotiation for some negotiations have taken a seven step backwards. downing street are blaming that on the french law bullying sort of 11th hour demand —— lobbying. including fishing and uk sources are also saying people are pushing the further and harderfor saying people are pushing the further and harder for assurances about regulation and subsidies. which something that brussels denies. so the atmosphere is not great tonight. negotiators in the cave which is that room in the department for business which we described in the earlier program.

>> in april jessica and dylan stopped working to keep brandy safe.pandemic would end quickly. now the couple says they live off $700 a month in unemployment assistance and food stamps. medicaid insurance provides a nurse to help in brandy's daily care, a schedule that's meticulously mapped out. she can only eat special formula every few hours injected in a tube in her stomach. but now they're $2,000 behind on electrical bills and $9,000 behind on apartment rent. they were recently told their family would be evicted at the end of december. >> that lady told me if i was a good mom i would be calling around to homeless shelters to ask if they can take me in. i poured my whole heart out to her and explained to her just please don't. don't get rid of me. i have nowhere to go. >> it makes you feel like a failure as a parent, as a man to know you can't provide for your own family. jessica and dylan had to isolate themselves and their three children during the pandemic which they say has made fighting the battle more lonely and stressful. they live for brief

our correspondent jessica jessica and photojournalist scott curty have been following one wisconsin emergency room doctor and his family since the beginning of the pandemic. here is a look at their journey. >> i'm going to head to work. >> i'm bill lieber and i'm an emergency room physician. based upon what i'm hearing from other physicians around the country, we are just at the beginning. >> i'm headed in work going to work is a little more tense and i don't petya i would be one that with get extremely ill, but you never know. >> so i just finished up my shift and i'll tell you it was exhausting. part way through i started it not really feel so great. >> he just told me he was so tired he had a headache and his cough was persisting and he wanted it sleep. i joaquin him up an hour later and his fever had gone,to 101. was really showing symptoms. >> i don't feel very good. >> packed his bags and he left right away to go to the house that we have set up for this exact instance. >> so, test results came back apnd they are positive. >> ok. >> my kids, i don't know how much they understand. my 8-y

>> reporter: in april jessica and dylan stopped work to go keep brandy safe.ey hope the pandemic would end quickly, now the couple says they live off $700 a month in unemployment assistance and food stamps. medicaid insurance provides a nurse to help in brandy's daily care, a schedule that's meticulously mapped out. she can only eat special formula injected every few hours through a tube into her stomach, but jessica and dylan say they are now 2,000 behind on electrical bills, they owe almost $10,000 on nine months of unpaid apartment rent. they were recently told their family would be evicted at the end of december. >> that lady told me if i was a good mom i would be calling around to homeless shelters to ask if they can take me in. i poured my whole heart out to her and explained to her that just please don't. don't get rid of me. i have nowhere to go. >> it makes you feel like a failure as a parent, as a man, to know that you can't provide for your own family. >> it's like i don't even deserve my own kid. >> reporter: jessica and dylan have had to isolate t

jessica, i went to ask you this. please explain to me, how this legislative process is going to play out? and how could it potentially and in another supreme court justice. i feel that is somehow the conclusion of everything with mitch mcconnell. [laughter] >> i really don't think that is going to happen part i believe everyone is in decent health right now knock on woodward i even want conservatives to stay live to make into the next term. mitch mcconnell i do not think will win on this one. i know he loaded up with section 230 and voter fraud investigation, linking that to essentially kill it to make sure we don't get that. i think is going to come back to bite him in his turtle but when it comes to georgia. he is seen kelly loeffler and david perdue all over the network today saying how they support us $2000 checks like 70% of americans. and like people in georgia who are hurting badly from this. he is setting up a very difficult face-off between what's going out of washington and what those senators, hoping for r

jessica, your paper, the guardian, is talking about the priority list of who will receive the vaccinetalked about the importance about getting it to the elderly and the nhs front line staff but what has changed here? i think the difficulty is that although they believe the 800,000 doses of the first consignment for the uk from belgium may be the only batch we receive for some time so it has to be done in a way that really prioritises the most at risk so there has been this rethink about who should be given priority. initially, nhs staff are getting the vaccination first, because they are highly at—risk but also because it is easier to vaccinate them in settings like hospitals where they can keep it at the -70 hospitals where they can keep it at the —70 degrees and needs to be kept at but now this rethink is happening and hospitals, instead of immunising staff will immunise patients and outpatients over 80. that will be a disappointment to some nhs staff who work in high—risk settings. 0ur reporter says quite a few of them had already booked appointments so this will come as quite a di

certainly for all the reasons jessica says it makes sense for him to want to act now.g. there is a reality that with the virus surging that businesses need to close, need to be tided over until we can get started again, but there is the risk to him that if congress passes something now, republicans once he takes office will kind of unify behind the position, well, we've done something and the vaccine is almost out there and there's no need to do anything more. and it may be, jim, in a closely divided congress that a big coronavirus stimulus response plan, much like the 2009 stimulus bill that ultimately biden administered for obama, will be his best chance to advance a broad range of his domestic priorities, things like clean energy, for example, and if they pass a bill this month you do have to wonder whether republicans will dig in even harder against something like that early next year. >> remember that stimulus in 2008, it died before it was resurrected, right? listen, partisan politics didn't begin yesterday. >> finally, jessica, jake asked biden about whether pri

jessica, janelle? >> thanks so much, raj. >>> former presidential candidate pete buttigieg has a new job. he's joining the biden cabinet as secretary of transportation, a key post in biden's plan to revitalize infrastructure. the president elect was in georgia rallying for democrats locked in two senate runoff elections. on january 5th john ossoff and rafael warnock, lessening mitch mcconnell's grip on the senate who acknowledged biden's victory today. >> the electoral college has spoken. so today i want to congratulate president elect joe biden. >> i called him to thank him for the congratulations and told him while we disagree on a lot of things there are things we can work together on. >> and a new pledge today from mcconnell that congress will not leave for the holidays until a covid relief bill is passed. he's expected to score a bipartisan bill released this week. >> i am chief meteorologist jeff ranieri tracking much-needed rain and show you which cities could reach over a half and close to thre

jessica: i hope so.t it indicate that is he cares about all opinions because one of the focal points with tom freedman is reaching out to rural voters. joe biden did a ton of local press throughout the election, some of the worst quotes came to talking to reporters in rural wisconsin, for instance, when he was pushed the hardest about issues of divide within the democratic party and whether he was a socialist, et cetera, i think that joe biden will do press with everybody. he ran a coalition campaign where he brought together voters who hadn't voted for democrats in the past and that's what i see. the interview was great and wide-ranging, number 1 priority, the stimulus for america. howie: with a liberal columnist, yeah, it was a good interview. jessica tarlov, thank you for being here. thank you, we hope you like facebook page, daily comments posted there and we can continue conversation on twitter. check out podcast, you can subscribe at apple itunes and google podcast or amazon device. a lot to talk a

jessica. >> yeah, they are pivotal decisions, janelle.advisory panel for the cdc met today and made an important decision on who's going to get vaccinated first. as you might expect, those important vaccinations are going to go health care workers. the panel voting 13-1 that health care workers and those living in nursing homes should be first in line. now here comes the sobering reality of this. those two groups make up roughly 24 million americans. no more than 20 million doses of each vaccine will be available by the end of this year. each vaccine requires two doses, so do the math. it's really sobering. still nbc news science contributor dr. joseph fair says seeing front-line workers get vaccinated may actually be the key to getting everyone on board of eventually getting vaccinated. >> all i can say is that i hope it will encourage them. you know, no matter what evidence we have presented over the last two decades to the, quote unquote, anti-vax movement that vaccines are not associated with autism and other deleterious effects, they

jessica, i suppose i'm curious, why now? right? >> yes. >> the president's been very involved in many legal decisions, has applied a lot of public pressure. >> one source i talked with, jim, says that we're just days away from the president's term ending, so why not now? why not look like essentially you're pushing back and you're getting out before the end. so i am hearing that barr is likely to leave the job as ag before january 20th, and one source wondering here, if this maybe was the attorney general sending a message that he will push back, as we saw in that ap interview, and as such, it really raises the specter that the president could even fire barr in the coming days. we really have been on watch every since barr told the ap last week that the justice department had seen no widespread election fraud, despite the president unrelenting on that claim, as we've seen even in just the past few days. so our jamie gangelle reporting last night barr is in fact considering leaving before january 20th, that's inauguration day, the d

jessica: i think boris johnson will face criticism either way.f you get the deal, which peoplehink thatt is something that could alleviate the concerns of the businesses. he might manage to aeviate some of that. for those who were concern d about thection that he was taking the brexit, they see any potential trade deal that would come out of the talks as a pretty bare-bones one. there will be changes at the ttrder from january 1 no what happens. katty: we actually are at a real deadline where there will be real consequences. supearkets in the u.k. are being given three months to prepare for additional checks that will be placed on exports. ethis is after brexit tradition. -- transition period in this on new year's eve -- ends on new year's eve. england, scotland, and wales will leave the eu single market for goods. there are hardly any checks right now on these goods. but from januy 1, there wi be rules governing. companies big and small are trying to get with this. is our arland correspondent, emma. -- here is out ireland correspondent. >> food

let's go to jessica snyder. to be clear here, this means -- has enormous implications, right, for counting seats in congress? >> um-hum. >> that goes forward? >> it does. the supreme court throwing out the challenge to president trump's plan where we wanted to exclude undocumented immigrants from being counted when the congressional seats are divvied up in january. this is a win for the trump administration because it does wipe away the lower court ruling that declared this policy violated law. the supreme court now letting that policy, by the trump administration, not to include those undocumented undocumented immigrants it lets that policy stand but this isn't a total win here. the court is only saying the challenge cannot be brought at this point but if the census numbers are presented to the president before he leaves office in just about a month. if those numbers don't include undocumented immigrants then those challengers can make their case to the supreme court again but that would be farther down the roa
