i would love to do this, if we can't, for the meridian campaign. if you know anything about the meridian campaign, this is really where you see grant and sherman develop a lot of the strategies they will use in georgia and the carolinas later that year. if you are interested in anything like this, some of it can have to do with some of these home front issues, like i will be focusing on tonight, and a lot have to do with traditional military history. and understanding what troops are going through but also the back story to the books that you have been studying and reading about over many years. questions, you guys? ? any questions about anything i covered, brought up here? poke some holes, if you think, baloney. i know a lot more the history than you think, ural. -- >> we are going to bring a. mike >> we are going to bring a mic? okay. >> one thing that intrigued me, a person like roland, he was from mississippi. he left and he joined the union army. what happened to him when he got home? >> this is the fun part, right? because we have almost no l

it's called applied dna sciences, meridian bioscience, and tide laboratories. so i'll read them one more time. this only adds to the confusion for people who are trying to do the right thing. again, applied dna sciences, meridian bioscience, and tide laboratories, they do not pick up the omicron variant. if you have those, put them to the side. then i guess the real question is, really, for so many people, if i can't find it at the store and i can't get in line like this and i'm planning on getting on a flight or i'm going to get in my car and, in a few days, i'll be seeing loved ones i haven't seen in a while, what do i do? i think we just heard the doctor say that we really should be taking ownership and responsibility on this. but, again, it's not particularly easy to achieve that. even at the 24-hour site. >> to kerry's very point, let's get real. people are willing to go to that testing site at 2:00 a.m. because christmas is around the corner. they want to travel. they want to see family. what happens when it is early january, and people don't have the big

military alliance was forcing his hand by encroaching on russia's borders which you're much look philip meridian, yet no one knew we were not one inch to the east is what we were told in the 19 ninety's. and what happened? we were duped. we were brazenly duped. lea brought the mag dollar a month. there were 5 waves of nato expansion or should in another. you have to understand. it's not us who are threatening them. will graham wish to live little that we didn't come to the borders of the u. s. or the u. k. america you came to us cannot previously met with talks as when russia and the u. s. plan for early next year. russia said the ball is now in washington's court, or to help us understand this or better that's bringing in that cadre leak who's a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations. welcome to the w. does president protein really believe the west is threatening russia? i think he understands that there are no evil intentions this of a russia. but i think his theories, but russia is who will the way ukraine is a row with the inc. and while ukraine might not become na

what we call very meridian, all sort of like a roller coaster that creates a strong upper level wind shear and really spins up what we call cyclones or storm systems. that then sort of mixed all of the ingredients, the warm, humid air coming from the gulf of mexico in the cool air that's producing snow right now over portions of the upper midwest. so this is not really an uncommon snow, severe weather set up per se, but it is very common when we have light media ongoing right now, which is an atmospheric circulation that does favor severe weather across the states. is it difficult to predict how the tornado is going to full, where it's going to, you might say land or hate? because the u. s. over the decades has a very sophisticated early warning system. great question ah, pinpointing, i think you know, more than a couple of days in advance where we're going to experience these advances is, is extremely challenging a couple of days in advance. the storm prediction center, which is the agency task, was forecasting severe weather here in the united states had convective outlook, which b

i'd love to do this for the meridian campaign in the early spring of 1864, this is where you can see grant cherman developing a lot of the strategies they will use in georgia and the carolinas later that year. some of it will have to do with some of the home front issues like i've been focusing on tonight but a lot with very traditional military history and understanding what troops are going through but kind of the back story to the books that you've been studying and reading over many, many years. questions, you guys? any questions about anything i brought up here? poke some holes if you think baloney. i think dissent was a lot bigger. you want me to repeat the question when it's asked? we'll bring a mic? okay. >> one thing that intrigued me is a person like w.t. roland, he was from mississippi. he left and joined the union army. what happened to him when he got home? >> we have almost no letters for him. i can kind him in mississippi for a while after the war. briefly looks like he goes up to tennessee. he's in north mississippi. seems to come back. i lose track of him about the 1

for example, between meridian, mississippi and birmingham, alabama, it's difficult to get the train across there because of the amount of traffic and capacity of the railroad. >> i understand that freights also refuse to share vital data with the fra, which even about essential information such as the number of trains on the tracks, and the length of a train and congestion delays. this information is necessary to understand the infrastructure needed to expand passenger rail service and freights insist that such information is proprietary knowledge, and it's not and they undercut the fra's ability to do its job. the fra should be the arbiter of truth with the ability to ask and receive the kind of information that it needs. do you agree that this information is necessary to leverage the funding in the new infrastructure law and improve expanded passenger rail service? >> absolutely. while we recognize the rights of post railroads to proprietary information like rates and things like that, it's certainly not proprietary to know how many trains operate a day. anybody can go out and watch just

. >> joining me now, the chief scientific officer at hackensack meridian discovery for inno innovationglad you're here, doctor. one of the things i think is misconstrued in the public, new variant, they automatically assume the sky is falling. we don't know. dr. fauci says we're waiting for more information. he says at least what we're looking at now, the cases may not be severe. as someone who studies variants, why might that be? why is it something that we do see historically sometimes, that variants mutate away from sev severity? >> we know, in general, when we look, for example, at drugpatho reduction of mutations reduce the fitness of those pathogens. makes them less pathogenic, less virulent. for viruses, we often see that as well. as you start accumulating mutations, that the viruses can become less pathogenic, less transmissible. in this particular case, it may well be that the virus has increased transmissibility, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is more pathogenic. we just don't know. >> you can have both. you can have increased transmi transmissibility, in other words, it

the applied dna sciences, the meridian bioscience, and tide laboratories. those are the tests that, again, do not detect omicron. the fda says there are better ones to use. of course, the real challenge, chris, is finding those home tests, because they're mostly sold out. >> yeah. so dr. hotez, getting tested has proved challenging. i saw long lines all over the weekend here in new york. the mayor here, bill de blasio, says the white house should invoke the defense production act to help provide a larger number of at-home tests. he wants monoclonal antibody treatments stepped up. he also said the biden administration should fast track approval of an anti-viral pill from pfizer. what do you think are the steps that can be taken right now, knowing that christmas is just, what, five days away. there's only so much that you can do between now and christmas day. >> yeah, well, chris, first of all, it's incredibly disappointing that we still don't have -- haven't figured out at-home testing. the manufacturers knew that there was going to be a big surge, even from

probably would like to avoid, according to the fda one is called applied dna sciences another one is meridiants were not in wide distribution >> we should put those on our website. >> i'm jotting it down >> kerry, thank you so much. >>> let's get another check of the weather from bill karins who is in for al this morning. >> it just looked warmer, kerry is in florida and the sun is out. florida, that's where we're going to have -- if we're going to get any really bad weather this week, it would be tuesday as we go throughout the day. a storm system is coming through the gulf today not many issues along the gulf coast. tuesday afternoon, we could get some strong symptoms coming out of florida isolated tornados are a possibility, too a lot of that rain would be moving tuesday off the east coast. as far as severe weather goes, it's a marginal risk remember when we had those tornados, that's what we call a moderate risk. this is two categories lower than that. if you're in florida, keep that in mind as we go throughout your tuesday. for today, we're bundled up this morning in areas of the northea

excuse me, 0.5% increase in the dow jones industrial average all the markets are up and that is meridian, i'm anxious to get his reaction, but i want to roll the tape of the prime minister, what the prime minister justin about moving from the draconian mandate. role tape. >> we have to get past the heavy hand of government and treat australians like adults. to a culture of responsibility. that is how we live with this virus into the future. dave: i never heard anything more positive since this pandemic. >> i agree. it is so refreshing, people recognizing people putting themselves at risk if you have immunity or unvaccinated you do so at your own individual risk. you can't hold society hostage because of the risk that somebody might contract an infection. we don't need to wage world war iii against the mild virus requiring boosters in college students. 10% to 25% of the population of the united states will get a respiratory pathogen every year in the future probably in perpetuity. we can't have mass hysteria and whatever policies we are justifying we've got to ask do we do that every year
