johnny devenanzio (voiceover): jason mcclain has been an up-and-coming winemaker since 2016 when he decided to go all in on following his dreams of crafting wine deep in the heart of the santa ynez valley. so pop and i are headed to jason's tasting room in nearby buellton to literally taste the fruits of his labor. johnny devenanzio: whew, now we're talking. have a seat. come on, regis. let me show you some really stupid good wine. check out this spot, man. this one's called purpose road. my dad and that bottle have something in common. they age gracefully. jason mclain: get a nice big snuff. put that schnoz in there, pop. there you go. very important thing when you're wine tasting, is don't just push it back. put the wine on your right side and the left side of your tongue. that's where all your taste buds are. wow. soft and subtle, like the two of us, pop. i didn't quite get enough, can i-- all right. time to barrel taste. excited about that? yeah. jason mclain: when you make wine, you've got all kinds of barrels. you'll see older barrels and you've got new barrels. this is a brand new fr

thomas employer is a texas mcclain's chief global health officer joint us now from when belgium via skype. thanks so much and for being with us it tell us about the figure on the efficacy that seems to be different depending on how it's used. 30 percent around a severe disease disease seems quite low, but i understand it's been used with other drugs and that brings it up as well. that is correct. a clinical trial reserves, but the london school of hired student, for example, just published their own study, which was independent of cheers care. and when they combined the normal chemo prophylaxis before the rainy season with the work scene, you had a reduction in mortality in severe disease. and osgood that is ational set of 70 percent. so i think it's a combination of different tools we have to use to get the optimal effect out of this vaccine. and to enters in terms of the getting a vaccine. why it's been so difficult to achieve that. you know, so vaccines are not always the same when it comes to be they look to develop them and different bikes react differently. so you have viruses, you

it was a report aimed at the former president donald trump or not john mcclain received the a fake in phony. gotcha. do you hear about the dust? yeah. it was paid for by crooked hillary clinton. right. and john mccain got it, got it. and what did he do? didn't call me, he turned it over to the b. s p. i hoping to put me in jeopardy. and that's not the nicest thing to do. the seal doughty prompted investigation into whether donald trump and those involved in his presidential campaign, looted with russia during the 2016 election. the author of the report, former and my 6 by christopher steele. christopher still is a hero. is trader christopher steel with a guy who picked a fight with 2 presidents, donald trump and vladimir. and he's lived to tell the tale. the seal doughty, which was compiled in 2016, contain detailed allegations of a conspiracy between trump presidential campaign team in the kremlin, as well as some assorted details of trading to a visit to moscow hotel room by the former president. believe none of the allegations of darcy, i have ever been proven the f b. i also admit

even in northern virginia -- i live in mcclain. in northern virginia. you go to the local gas station and you are stunned at how much you pay. and at the store i talked to somebody who paid more than twice as much for a chicken as they paid 3 months ago. t if you are a normal person, the best phrase to describe the democrats may be it ain't working. it ain't working on the border with inflation or energy. they get a 54% increase with heating costs in maine they will be annihilated nextn year in maine. >> sean: i should not have asked the question because i lived it with you. before you became speaker i was the mc the night you became speaker of the house. republicans were out of power in the house of representatives for 40 long years. not only did you bring republicans back into power, but they have been in play ever since. things have changed. ii would hate to think of 40 years in darkness again. sometimes -- i can't foresee a time where new york or california ever goes red again. i can't see it.me >> oh, i can. look, things change dramatically. in '94

both sides the elijah mcclain case have reached a settlement to resolve a civil rights lawsuit his familyed. the 23-year-old died in 2019 after aurora, colorado police placed him in a neck restraint and fire department personnel injected him with ketamine. a criminal case is being pursued. the u.s. supreme court has backed qualified legal immunity for police accused of using excessive force. today's rulings came in cases from oklahoma and california. the qualified immunity defense protects police from civil lawsuits unless clearly established constitutional or legal rights are violated. russia suspended its diplomatic mission to nato today. it was retaliation after the western alliance expelled eight members of the russian mission over spiting. foreign minister sergey lavrov announced nato offices in moscow will be shuttered. >> mato is not interested in dialogue and joint work. we do no see the need to keep pretending that changes in the foreseeable future are possible because nato has shown the impossibility of such changes. judy: a russian led security block began major security drills

let's listen to howard mcclain who is part of the schools here. >> a quality education with all of the us, okay? second i will say that the job situation that we have, several years ago, we had a bunch of victory workers, now those things are going away for a job that is scarce and competitive. >> in talking to howard and other black leaders and voters here in the anson county area, another interesting factor that i learned about is that in addition to fears about the economy they're focused on young people. the young black people born here, coming up in the county right now and as they look at the challenges they're facing they're wondering what kind of jobs and community will the young people here inherit. they're watching many of them leave and never return nap is another tie to their hoping that politicians will look to rural communities and help them solve. they don't believe it is sustainable right now. his message was that it is not just about black voters but also upcoming generations in a rural county. this is a story of anson and other communities like anson. >> dasha, you're

optimistic that as long as the people keep getting in good trouble, like they did in colorado after elijah mcclain qualified immunity abolished in that state. more states have to continue to be pressed and say we demand that we make the declaration of independence to everybody, not just white people, but to black people, to brown people, asian people, and we have to keep doing that, reverend al. that is the only way we will get -- >> sustained -- sustained indignation, i call it. we got the eric garner law in new york. were you surprised -- i'm out of time, but i have to ask you. were you surprised the justice department declined to pursue criminal civil rights charges for the kenosha, wisconsin, police officer who shot jacob blake seven times in the back citing insufficient evidence to establish that the officer used excessive force. now, let me remind our audience, blake was shot seven times in his back as he left the scene of a domestic incident in august of last year. the officer was found not guilty of state charges earlier this year. blake, of course, remains paralyzed from the waist down. y

the lastth two republicans who served from arizona in the united states senate jun mcclain andla jeffek both stood up republicans and pushed back against trumpism. tell you what kyrsten sinema is doing now is very similar except she's a democrat -- >> there's nothing similar -- there's nothing what trumpism represents that's similar to what the democrats right now. you're talking about a guy that's been described by some as an authoritarian leader, a white nationalist, a white supremacist. jeff flake and john mccain standing up to him is not the same as saying kyrsten sinema standing up to the democratic party trying to pass child care, climate change, all kinds of other health benefits for american seniors. that's not the same, i'm sorry. >> hold on, ayman. the point is jeff flake and john mccain and not just donald trump but throughout their timeot in e senate and t the congress stoodp to thete priorities of their leadership ofir their parties. john mccain was a champion of campaign finance reform, fought mitch mcconnell on it for years and won. so kyrsten sinema, you can s disagree
