in missouri in st. louis, and ferguson you were calling up old friends, like network of folks so you could have a place to stay and a way like we don't always think of activism in this way but even the facilitating of your movement is a form of activism. was struck by that. >> it's cool. a lot of build relationships in ways that would have been impossible. a pace of the internet a tone and a tool that allowed to us connect in ways dewent have to physical hi be in front of each and would not have been able to press the protests if not for those tools. >> you write that hope is a precursor to strategyot and that stock with me. in this moment where so many people are questioning hope and saying to themselves, i'm not an optimism, i'm a realist. i hear that often times from young people and contemporaries. this hope is a precursor to strategy, really speaks volumes. can you happy and what you mean by that? >> hope is a belief that tomorrow will be better than today. and there's no way to figure out how do get out

on saturday, some rain does develop for you in kansas city through missouri, into illinois, st. louis, and indianapolis included. on sunday, a little bit windy and wet in areas of the ohio valley and possibly some snow mixing in upstate new york and western new york. and kasie, we've been teasing it all week long, the thanksgiving day forecast. it does look warm across much of the country. we could have a little bit of rain early in the day in the east. the only question mark is how long will that rain linger in areas of the northeast, especially in new england? we'll fine tune that forecast. it's a week from today. but i don't see any huge issues. >> i'm not sure i've ever worried so much about what the weather was going to be like on thanksgiving, but here we are. >> i know. >> bill karins, thank you so much. really good to see you. it will be friday tomorrow and we'll see you then, my friend. >>> still ahead, with a tight runoff election coming up, georgia senator david perdue is again facing scrutiny over stock trades. we're going to have that new reporting next. we're going to ha

st. louis, missouri. good morning. caller: good morning. it is an honor to talk to you. . am a 70-year-old man my body is riddled with agent orange because of vietnam. i have to be careful. i began wearing a mask immediately. i have not isolated myself, but have taken every precaution i have heard out of your lips. social distancing etc. here is my big concern right now. the big circle of friends that i have now, and i have a very large circle, they are adamant that they will not take the vaccine and i just go ballistic. these are the same people that were preaching about masks and i was one of the ones that preached about that. could you elaborate on that? if we have so many people that are not going to get vaccinated, we are not going to conquer this. people are saying i will wait a year and see. in the year, you could be dead. so i guess that is a touchy point with me now. i will be the first point to get -- i will be the first one to get the vaccine. if you could elaborate, i would appreciate it. thank you. guest: your comments are correct. you should get vaccinated as

joining me now from st louis, missouri, is dr mati hlatschwayo davis.ctious disease physician at the washington university school of medicine. thank you for your time, i can imagine you are very busy indeed. how do you view these latest figures? this is devastating at a really bad point and devastating at a really bad pointandi devastating at a really bad point and i venture to say we have not seen the worst yet. we have not seen the worst yet. we have reached over... inaudible... have reached over... inaudible. .. completely unacceptable for a country with these resources and capacity. with flu season here, with the cold and people coming indoors, this will only get worse and i imagine we could enter some very dire measures soon. do you see the chances of those measures being put in place under this administration or soon enough under a new administration? the issue is we are operating in a power vacuum. as you know, we have just finished a very contentious selection and the white house is yet to address us in regards to the pandemic, although presiden

thousands of people descend on this small town of ferguson, missouri, a suburb of st. louis.ago, and the same year over 3,000 boys were shot and of course no one paid much attention. in ferguson, around michael brown, this was an event that happened in a society that is still, sadly, little bit guilty about its history of racism. and so therefore the fact that there was a white trigger finger here that shot michael, it's sort of echoes this history of american racism. so it was just pregnant with power. people descended on the town. black lives matter was a group that formed in ferguson as a reaction to this. it is still with us. it's transformed certainly our racial politics if not a good deal more than that. but in the end, my feeling is it's just about power. michael brown represented power. people descended on the town to get some of that power. >> laura: imagine if you're a young african-american kid or young white kid. you're watching this for the first time. they haven't seen your documentary. they weren't alive or don't remember the truth of what ultimately was report

missouri. he's head of st. louis metropolitan pandemic task force. being here. >> sure. >> how bad is it? >> well, it's the worst that we've seen in the pandemic. right now, we have over 900 patients in our hospitals. i think what's more telling is that the nurses are getting worn out from the volume of patients that are coming in and how sick they are. >> this morning's front page of "the st. louis dispatch" says they're overwrought and exhausted. how concerned are you about the uptick from holiday gatherings that many people had a few days ago? >> we're very concerned. we know we won't see those patients for a couple of weeks. they have to become infected and get sick enough to come to thoptthopt hospitals. we're at maximum capacity. when we layer on more patients on to that, it's going to exceed our capacity. we've been transferring patients outside of the metropolitan area because we're just simply running out of room. >> this was interesting, i thought. there was a st. louis doctor who simulated what covid-19 patients see, potentially at least,

st. louis, missouri, where black women came together under the auspices of the tillis weekly branch of the wide wcs a, name for the 18th century poet. there, they ran a suffrage school and taught one another to pay pull taxes, how do you pass literacy tests, how to grapple with begrudging officials. they even managed to attract men to the suffrage school who thought that, perhaps, 1920 represented a moment in which they might reclaim the voting rights that they had lost decades before. black women turned out in st. louis and the papers reported that eerily, every woman in the city registered that season. black women came to represent. somewhere between ten and 20% of new voters. and the stakes were high in st. louis. a city where local officials were using referendums to impose housing segregation, for the first time by law and the city of st. louis. black women aren't turning out not only to realize their own personal ambitions, not only to further women's interests, but to contribute to the struggle against gym crow, which now had a decisive sort of consequence in the ballot box in a cit

st. louis, missouri, is dealing with a particularly devastating covid surge right now.ls in the city are sounding the alarm that hospitals are running out of space, and the icus are filling up. it's against that backdrop that ksdk, the local nbc affiliate in st. louis, got exclusive access to the covid icu unit at mercy hospital, the second largest hospital in st. louis. here's ksdk anchor casey nolen. >> reporter: there are 12 rooms in this part of the icu. they are all full. they can make more room on other floors, but they can't make more doctors and nurses. the hospital has converted rooms to handle more covid cases, but caring for justice one critical patient can require several nurses and doctors. and like all of the hospitals in the st. louis region, there's concern this current surge of covid cases could soon mean too many patients for the staff to take care of. patients like steve jeffrey, who says he contracted covid despite a self-quarantine. >> not seeing my wife, it's very difficult. i mean the people -- the people here have been great and very friendly, bu

missouri. and that is a frightening scenario for everybody in the state, not just in st. louisnow you're calling on measures to be taken statewide in missouri. michigan governor gretchen whitmer is trying to put some measures into place to stop the rise in cases there and rise in hospitalizations and dr. scott atlas who is the lead adviser at this point on the president's coronavirus task force is calling on the people of michigan to rise up against these measures. what kind of message do you think that sends? as someone who is trying to fight this virus, what message does that send? >> well, that's a very disturbing message and, you know, as physicians we take an oath to do no harm and we take that seriously. so that is not helpful at all. i guess i would turn that a little bit and ask our citizens and our health care workers to rise up to demand more action by our state governments more so than the other way around. >> finally how much more in reserve do you all have in battling at this point? >> well, i will tell you, you know, we are at the 90, 95 plus on capacity right now

missouri we are seeing a surge of patients. and i think they have been very vocal in st. louis about talking about what the surge is looking like there and that they are at capacity. and we have had a lot of difficulty you know transferring patients and making sure that, you know, we've got a place that we can care for people you know, at the heart of it that's what health care workers want we want to be able to serve our public, our citizens and we want to be able to serve them safely. and that means safety for us that means safe patient ratios for them you know, i think it is a really big concern right now. >> amber elliot best of luck on your last day. and to you and your family thank you. >> thank you i appreciate it. >>> there's breaking news now, and it comes to us from the state of georgia, and has to do with the election recount. remember, there is a hand redown going on across the state of georgia because the election was so close we have just heard from the secretary of state announcing that the hand audit of the ballots in georgia has not altered president-elect bide
