Attack unlike any weve seen in our lives. The managers case straightforward and comments by his violence supporters to show he instigated the attack and plan to rebut the notion a president cannot be tried after leaving office. As for the defense, well, their brief begins with a mistake, a pretty sloppy one at the top of page one as you see there, the lawyers misspelled United States. Those are the ex president s lawyers. From there they argue an ex president cannot be convicted on constitutional grounds. In addition, they make a claim thats easily disproved, reading from their brief quote it is admitted that after the november election, the 45th President exercised his First Amendment right under the constitution to express his belief that the Election Results were suspect. The brief goes on to say quote insufficient evidence exists upon which a reasonable juriest could conclude the 45th President s statements were accurate or not and thereafter denies they were false. Insufficient evidence . A reasonable juriests. 67 decided otherwise and they were elected judges and appointed judges and republican judges and trump appointees and they sit on the United StatesSupreme Court. The claims made by the president s mob of attorneys in the weeks after the election were without merit. They all decided the Election Results were not suspect. The State Of Georgia recounted the ballot four times. Is that insufficient evidence . When the ex president asked this at the rally, he already had the answer. By the way, does anybody believe that joe had 80 million votes . Does anybody believe that . Yeah, 80 Million People at least do. Every single Secretary Of State, also, dellmocrat and republican believed it. Every single Secretary Of State in every state. Is that insufficient evidence . Is it insufficient evidence that one even told the former president directly just a few days before the rally Georgia Republican and supporter of the former president , brad, here is a portion of their phone call. We have won this election in georgia based on this and there is nothing wrong with saying that, brad. The people in georgia are angry and the people in the country are angry and there is nothing wrong with saying that youve recalculate. Mr. President , the challenge that you have, the data you have is wrong. The data you have is wrong. Is that insufficient evidence . Again, thats the guy who voted for the former president who wanted him to win. He just didnt want to lie and cheat for him and here is his deputy, also republican back in december warning the former president about the violent consequences of lying about Election Fraud. Mr. President , you have not condemned this language or actions. Senators, you have not condemned this language or actions. This has to stop. Someone will get hurt. Someone will get shot. Someone will get killed. That was more than a month before the attack. Four days later, armed Trump Supporters descended on the home of michigan Secretary Of State stoked by the defeated president s false claims about Election Fraud there. A week later, socalled stop the steal rallies across the country turned violent. You see it there. Four people are stabbed in washington. That same morning at 8 05 the president tweets quote i won the election in a landslide. House Impeachment Managers plan to show precisely This Incite M Ment and effect. Not all supporters are violent. Far from it. Were talking about violent supporters. This video compiled by the organization shows the former president s remarks on the 16th Of January Synchronized from videos posted mainly on social media. Here is a portion. Well walk down to the cap capitol. Capitol. Do the right thing. Take the capitol take the capitol take the capitol so thats how the former president s words were received by a number of people who have been fete a diet month after month of lies. By the former president. Weve been told they have been told not to believe the officials and judges and support court judges, not to believe the electors. Theyve been told that both day and night, day after day they have every right to be angry yet somehow his attorneys in their filing today claim and i quote it is denied that the phrase if you dont fight like hell youre not going to have a country anymore had anything to do with the action of the capitol as it was about the need to fight for Election Security in general. It sure doesnt seem like a lot of the folks who attacked the capitol were just doing it for Election Security in general. That didnt seem to be the rallying cry. Some of them were overly comparing this overtly comparing this to a new American Revolution and chanting about hanging mike pence. I said were going, fighting back. Whats the point . Whats the end game . Whats the point . Yeah. Were losing our freedom. What do you mean whats the point . Describe it to me. You not even knowing explain it to me what are we supposed to do . Okay . Tell me. The Supreme Court isnt helping us. Nobody is helping us. Only us can help us. Only we can do it. Lets go what are you going to do . Whatever we have to do. What do you think 1776 was . What do you think 1776 was . That guys name is bar bardon shilvel. Hes been charged with violent entry and more. The president s team of attorneys will be arguing that he was just at the Capitol Fighting Metaphorically for Election Security in general. Looking at the capitol tonight, hard not to think of everything that happened and seven lives lost in the wake of it, lives taken, not lost and shortly tonight, one of the fallen returns home to it. The question now is how will he be honored by the men and women he protected and the democracy he dieed td to save. Perspective from benjamin and pete, former u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york. So ben, the filing from the former president s legal team alleging his claims of voter fraud cannot be proven false, what do you make of their filing . They had a simple task to keep the 45 republican senators that voted with them on the constitutionality provision happy and they opened up a couple of doors that are going to cause great nervousness. One of them is the First Amendment part that is using protected speech even though it led to the incitement of a riot and the notion that there was not sufficient proof and all the court cases you referred to before and the certificates by the individual states that their votes were correct. And what are you saying about the election has never received any evidence at all and thats going to make the republican senators quite nervous. Do you agree with that . I mean, because what ben is saying essentially is that the argument alone of its unconstitutional you cannot put a former president , you cannot impeach a former president , you cant put him on trial for impeachment for when he was in office if they had just stuck to that, that would give cover to a lot of senators to say yeah, well, i agree with that. We dont need to go to the m merits of the charges because just unconstitutional. Look, i mean, these jurors are not tradition l al jurors a they can choose to base their vote on anything they want and choose to base their vote on a constitutional argument that by the way, is not only wrong if you talk to the overwhelming majority of legal experts but failed with respect to a particular vote in the senate. We already have that vote. 5545. Five republicans said its okay and constitutional and proper and legal to proceed. You can, in fact, have a senate trial of impeachment with respect to a former president so in someways, that question is settled and i dont know that senators at either party have much pause when it comes to what their strong believes are and on the republican side, what they want to avoid saying or doing. Ben, is that settled . I mean, the argument that a former president can be impeached . I dont think its settled. There isnt a court ruling about it. The congress is a judge of procedures and there is nothing to stop the 45 republican senators for voting not to convict because theyre wrong about the constitutionality argument. There is no consequence against that, which is way the democrats need to present and have indicated they need to present a strong vision case to try to get republicans nervous and again, that brief filed today is helpful to the democrats today, actually. Helpful to the democrats because it raises uncomfortable questions that challenge republicans . Yes, precisely. I mean, the notion that donald trump was right about Election Fraud is an argument that republican senators dont have to make. When they challenged State Certifications on january 6th. They never argued that there was fraud involved. Now Donald Trumps lawyers have brought that Subject Back Up in that portion of their answer that you just read. Pete, when you look at the what was filed by the president s attorneys, they misspelled United States off the top. How does Something Like that just fall through the cracks . Are they rushing to get it to kinkos to print . Look, its not a brilliant piece of legal writing but to give them some credit, and to forgive them somewhat, they dont have a lot to work with. The arguments the president is making and the arguments they must have had with their own client, the president given the reporting about a raft of lawyers resigning from the case a few days ago, its a very challenging thing apparently, both financially because he doesnt like to pay his bills apparently and substantively to represent the president this president and former president of the United States and so they dont have a lot to work with. Theyre being dictated things probably literally probably sentences being dictated by donald trump. They were in a rush because they were only retained recently and this is the product you get. By contrast, you have a very carefully thought out i mean, just trying to be objective about it, you have a well written 80page submission with democrats in favor of the conviction of the article of impeachment that lays out i think a very clear narrative, marshalls the evidence and makes legal arguments that make sense and to my quick eye no glaring typos on page one. As a former prosecutor, how do you think the House Manager should go about presenting their c c case . It was said they would make an emotional case based on videos and arguments that appeal to passion and some may think that doesnt make the best possible case, you argue facts and rules but think about what is being alleged here. What is being alleged here is that the president of the United States incited an insurrection. The way you incite an insurrection is appealing to passion and causing people knowing they are able to be stoked into this and having Warning Signs as you pointed out from the election official in georgia if you dont tone down the rhetoric, bad things will happen. People will be armed and killed. That turned out to be true. The entire nature of the proceeding because of the high crime or misdemeanor being charged is very saturated with emotion and so i think its an appropriate way for them to go about it to show the public that donald trump had every reason to foresee that violence would occur if he spoke the way he spoke and didnt calm people down. Yeah. And that he wanted to overturn the election. Not just that he was promote thing idea of protest, he wanted a particular action. He wanted that action from the secretary of the State Of Georgia. He wanted that action from his own Vice President , mike pence, and when those things failed and a bunch of that i mentioned, he wanted those protesters, the context shows to figure out a way by force to impede the counting of the votes and overturn the election. Thats clear. Appreciate it. Thank you. Joining us is Hakim Jeffreys that served in the president s first trial. Thanks for being with us. What do you make of the trump teams legal argument that the trial is unkoconstitutional because donald trump is no longer president and his speech is protected because there is no proof that he was wrong about Election Fraud . Well, certainly a settled question that the trial can proceed even when a former executive branch, the insurrection that it will come at the end of a president s term to halt the peaceful transfer of power and so it would defy logic and accountability if someone could simply halt a trial because there was a failed coup attempt or failed attempt at insurrection and thats not compelling at all and with respect to the alleged truthfulness of the president s ama remarks, every reasonable person knows joe biden won the election. He won the election by more than 80 million votes. Hes working on tough challenges on behalf of the American People and it was donald trump who is the individual who accept the results and radicalize millions of people that resulted in the violent attack on the capitol on january 6th. The idea the Defense Theme would include the false claims in the former response to congress and state insufficient evidence exists to make a determination on those claims, ben was saying that its just ridiculous. I mean, those claims have been rejected and some 60 court cases. We have a client in the former president , twice impeached president and disgraced president who is directing his legal team to do his bidding and carry out this narrative fantasy of the presidency being stolen. The great lie is continuing to be perpetrated by donald trump and thats why we are where we are and the hope is there will be enough descent and fair minded Senate Republicans that will follow the facts, apply the law, be guided by the constitution and let the chips fall where they may once the compelling evidence by the Impeachment Managers is presented and hold him accountable for the charge of inciting a violent insurrection. The rules of the trial are being finalized. Senator Lindsey Graham on fox news yesterday said if democrats hold a lengthy trial, it could open quote a pandoras box. What do you make of that . Well, i think Lindsey Graham is divorced from reality at this particular point in time because hes no longer in charge of making these decisions on his side of the aisle and suppressing the ability of witnesses to be called or threatening to call irrelevant witnesses. That was the gain that the republican senators played during the last Impeachment Trial when they controlled the majority but there is a in sheriff in town as it relates to what is going on in the senate and fairness is going to dictate the witnesses that i believe will be called in this trial and thats a good thing for truth, for justice and for the American People. Congressman joaquin jeffreys, appreciate your time. Thanks. Breaking news on what happens to the freshman republican congresswoman who questioned if the Parkland Shooting was a false flag operation and doubted if a plane hit the Pentagon On 9 11 and her support of qanon believes. What the party will do or wont do and what it will say about the party. George conway joins us and the Covid Veariance and how concernd we should be. What lies ahead to a category five hurricane. The lexus es, now available with allwheel drive. This rain is bananas. Lease the 2021 es 250 allwheel drive for 349 a month for thirty six months. Experience amazing at your lexus dealer. Dad, im scared. Its only human to care for those we love. And also help light their way. Its why last year chevron invested billions of dollars to bring affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy to america. Were waiting for word from a meeting happening now between the Top Republican in the house and freshman republican Marjorie Taylor greene, the Conspiracy Theory supporting republican from georgia whom the former president called a future star. Shes a cu cue none qanon supporter and remarks shes made in the past. Here she is in some newly uncovered video before a protest two years ago advocating her followers stormed the capitol. If we flood the capitol building, flood all the government buildings, go inside, these are public buildings we own them. We own these buildings. Do you understand that . We own the buildings and pay all the people that work in the buildings. We asked the congresswomans office for comment on the video and got no reply. Shes still tweeting, the retweet of a letter with unproven allegations of house members. Republican leaders showed science signs of losing patience with her but they seem more willing to discipline members like liz chee k cheney. George conway, good to have you on the program again. So this new congress has been in session for almost a month. What is it to say republicans cant decide if theyre the party of liz cheney and mitt romney and donald trump and Marjorie Taylor greene . I think were watching, if it hasnt happened already the moral collapse of the Republican Party and this is a product of four years of people who knew better being silent about donald trump who himself was a Conspiracy Theorists who told 30,000 lies in office, who talked about ridiculous fake miracle cures like for covid who pretended like covid would go away and told the biggest lie of all that result in violence, the big election lie that he had actually won the election by a landslide but he was cheated out of it and, you know, in the last three months of his term, he tried to destroy, i mean, this is what the impeachment is about and he tried to destroy constitutional democracy in the United States of america. And through all of that republicans were largely silent and didnt call him out on this and the problem is this Conspiracy Theory, the qanon insanity, all of this has ma gotten bigger and a significant portion of it gotten bigger and a significant portion of it gotten bigger and a significant portion of it devoted to not just donald trump but insanity. I dont know how you have a Republican Party that can survive with the likes of liz cheney being attacked for standing up for the rule of law and meanwhile, this woman Marjorie Taylor greene propounding bizarre theories and saying that the speaker of the house should be assassinated and talking about jewish space lasers. I dont know how this party can survive like that. What do you make of the slew of republican senators criticizing Marjorie Taylor greene . Are they trying to get on the record for the sake of their reputations or do you give them more credit than that . Jim i think said to cameras before or said to cnn before he didnt think Kevin Mccarthy was going to take her off her committee assignments. Yeah, i think they are concerned, many of these senators about her. They should be. Its destroying the Republican Party to have, you know, the insurrection, to have this is scaring away middle class voters in the suburbs of swing states and elsewhere. They should be terrified you have Lindsey Graham today saying hes giving Marjorie Taylor greene the benefit of the doubt because he had a quote very pleasant time traveling with her and wants to know if her social media posts were manipulated. I mean yeah, scared of this and wha this is doing to the stature of the party in these suburban enplays but terrified of the base i mentioned has been saturated with toxic lies. Theyre caught between these two elements and i dont know how its sustainable. It did seem like Lindsey Graham had a moment like the night of the insurrection where he said im done. You know, i hate that it ended this way. You know, he was a president of consequence which means, you know, thats praise that doesnt mean anything. But now it seems like he gets yelled at in the airport and all of a sudden, he just won a new term. Hes got six years. I dont understand what hes so sq scared about. I dont, either. Id rather if i were in the position of a Lindsey Graham, id rather go down fighting for truth and reasonableness and the rule of law yet hes terrified of these people and thats the problem that we have created with the republicans are created by not standing up to donald trump for four years is a monster. They cant they are terrified of a base that is saturated with these lies where fox news isnt even good enough for them anymore. They have to go to other outlets like one America News Network to get their fill of what they want to believe even if it completely defies reality. What happens . I dont know how you walk back from that brink. So what happens . I mean, where does what happens for the Republican Party . I dont know. I dont know how i think that the Republican Party if it keeps going down this path is going to start bleeding, educated suburban voters who are reasonable, maybpeople. It may well be too late if even stand up t taylor green because there are so many people in the house that might not be quite as outspoken or bad in the sense that they say crazy things all the time but they say crazy things some of the time and 140 or so members of the house bought on to the president s Big Lie Theory even after yes even after the insurrection. George, if you could stay there. Were getting news from capitol hill on this. Cnn ryan nobles at the capitol now. Late word on the congresswoman. Whats the word . Reporter thats right, anderson. Were told that the Republican House leader Kevin Mccarthy has called members of the Steering Committee into a private meeting. Now, this is significant because the Steering Committee is the body thats responsible for deciding who sits on house committees, who represents the Republican Party at these house committees, as far as we can tell, the meeting between mccarthy and Marjorie Taylor greene is on going. Weve seen both green and Mccarthy Come In And Out of his office, go onto the house floor to cast votes and go back into Behind Closed Doors to continue their conversation but the fact that mccarthy would now take the step of bringing the steering coal mmittee into the m would indicate there could be movement. We dont know what is happening in this conversation right now. Its Behind Closed Doors and on going but it is a Significant Development that the Steering Committee members have been brought into the conversation. Interesting. Well keep checking with you. George is back with us. George, you know, its always a danger to read tea leaves but the question is does she keep her committee assignments, shes on the Education Committee and i think the budget committee, as well. Obviously, we dont know what will result from tonights meetings. Its possible they do the right thing and strip her of these committee assignments. The fact of the matter is, it may be for the Republican Party too little too late. Shes still going to be a member of the house. The same forces that elected her elected people like this woman in colorado and western colorado, and other people not quite as bad but pretty bad who are basically donald trump cult or qanon types and they still are going to be a big part of the party going forward. Thats exemplified by the fact these people are still there. I think the best thing they can do that could be done for the Republican Party is for republican senators to get on the stick and realize how they got where we are today instead of focussing on just criticizing one member of congress who is a whacko from focussing on the fact that a president of the United States attempted to end constitutional democracy in the United States and there should be a punishment for that. And congress should exercise power under impeachment clauses. It does seem this is the moment for them to rid themselves for trump as a future, you know, rid them shelves of the former president hanging over their heads and then having to pay to him for the next four years and Living In Fear hes going to run again. Right. I mean, i think politically their best chance at survival as a party is to lance the boil. I mean, hes the problem. Hes the reason it got worse. He threw out support for this congresswoman. If they want to save the party and bring it somewhere where it can function and bring it somewhere where it has a chance of reaching out to moderately conservative reality based voters, they need to do something about donald trump and they need to and its their duty to do it. George, if you hold on one more second. I want to bring ryan nobles back in. Is this the only template we have for this is steve king, republicans taking him out of his committees. Is this how that come about . Did he bring a Steering Committee . Reporter youre right. Steve king is a good example of how the process can play out. The former congressman from iowa was very controversial and said a number of things particularly made a lot of racist comments that led to a firestorm around the republican conference and that led mccarthy to begin the process of pulling him off the committees that he was assigned to and it was the Steering Committee that made this decision and somewhat inoculates the House Minority leader or Majority Leader depending on the case were dealing with from having to make the decision all by himself. So the fact that the Steering Committee has brought into this process, we have a precedent for this. Steve king is the precedent. Now, we dont know whats happening behind the closed doors. You know, is greene herself perhaps talking to the Steering Committee and making a case for why she should stay on . We dont know. Youre absolutely right in the past when they want to take someone off the committee, it was done through the Steering Committee. Ryan nobles, appreciate it. George conway, really appreciate it. Thanks for sticking around. Well watch this closely. Ahead, research on how long antibodies may protect people from the coronavirus after they were infected and a separate report involving a new strain of the virus and protection from vaccines really important information. That when we come back. Its moving day. And while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. It only takes about a minute. Wait, a minute . But what have you been doing for the last two hours . Delegating . Oh, good one. Move your Xfinity Services without breaking a sweat. Now thats simple, easy, awesome. Xfinity makes moving easy. Go online to transfer your services in about a minute. Get started today. Confirmation from those affected by the Coronavirus Keep Antibodies for at least six months. The data did not indicate if it could provide protection from new veariants but the main variant acquired a concerning mutation in south africa and brazil that could make it resistant to vaccines or lead to reinfection. Want perspective from our chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta and dr. Michael osterholm at the University Of Minnesota and medical advisor. Does that mean own one of the variants we know could be somewhat resistant to the vaccines . Up until now that particular strain youre talking about b 117 or the u. K. Strain has only had the ability and i say only because it can cause more infection and more severe disease. For the first time british officials found it acquired the mutation that weve been talking about with the south african strain to avoid the immune protection we get from vaccines from natural disease. Obviously, this is not a Good Development as this b 117 has shown how well it is able to be transmitted around the world. So sanjay, i find this a little confusing because fauci said its not great news but a booster shot could be developed for each of these variants because theyre kind of in the same family of the virus. Is that still the case, or is this just saying that there is basically more and more variants, the number of very ya veariants is growing . Some of the variants like the one in the u. K. Are acquiring more mutations or mutations that weve seen in other variants, so thats part of the problem so wait. Its not so the u. K. Variant or the south african, brazilian variant, theyre not just one var variant . Theyre mutations of those var variants . Yeah, the way to think about it is a variant is an umbrella term. It means the virus, the one weve thought about circulating requires certainmutations, thers three main mutations in the variant from south africa. The u. K. Had one making it the variant and as professor o osterholm said, it now has a south african variant. It will get confusing. The viruses mutate all the time. A lot of the mutations that occur are frankly inconsequential but sometimes these viruses mutate in a way that makes them as Professor Osterholm said more transmissible which is the way they go. To answer your question, you could make or retool the vaccines and thats something thats sort of special, i think, or specific to mrna vaccines or do it something similar to today, you think of vaccines taking four to six years to make and you could do it in four to six weeks. It still needs to go through some trials but there is bridging trials that could make the process go pretty quickly. We may be getting to that point. That could be the booster. Dr. Fauci said its one of two. Either youre giving another booster of the same vaccine trying to increase your Antibody Levels or you give a booster thats more specific to the variant. Professor, for Everyone Listening and myself included, which i tend to get concerned about the variants and mut mutations, the bottom line is still we all need to be vaccinated. We need to get the vaccines that we can get. We need to have vaccines that need two doses, we need the two doses, and that needs to happen as quickly as possible for as many people as possible. Thats still the basic truth, right . Thats absolutely the kocase and just remember a vaccine can prevent a Virus Infection from happening and if you dont have a virus, you dont get mutations. This in part is how well address the issue with the mutation situation. So again, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. We cant say that enough times or loud enough. Right. The more people who get vaccinated and as quickly as possible that will limit the continued spread of new variants and more mutations . Right. I think the other note to make here is that as much as were concerned about these veariants that may compromise the immune response, when you actually look at the studies that were done by the j and j vaccine in south africa, it looked like what happened there was yes, people did get infected with the variant strain even though they had the vaccine but it was much less severe and that we didnt see the big increase in hospitalizations or deaths. That by itself isnt the perfect end point. Wed like to prevent disease but if we can prevent severe disease, hospitalization or deaths, thats a big victory against the variants. Sanjay, we mentioned a u. K. Study that found people that previously had covid19 retained antibodies for at least six months. If you had antibodies against an old variant, how much protection would you get with a new variant . Thats a good question. I think they would be helpful. I spent time today digging into that question. I think they would be helpful in terms of as Professor Osterholm said in preventing severe disease. This is the thing. Are you trying to prevent infection . You dont want the virus. Dont get me wrong. I dont think people want to get infected but what is it we really are hoping for . People dont get sick and dont get hospitalized and dont die. If we can show the j and j numbers since you brought that up, its important when you look at the vaccine how well it works, it doesnt work for mild to moderate disease against variants, as well but if you look at the bottom line on the right. Tection against severe disease. In these trials, five trials, 75,000 patients, nobody that got the vaccine in the trials died, which i think is really important. Yeah, no, that is hugely important. Sanjay, thank you. I feel a little better. Professor michael osterholm, appreciate it.

The ceremony is a rare one resevened for political leaders. Later in the day officer sicknicks remains will be buried at Arlington National cemetery. His loved ones wrote, knowing our evan perez reports investigators are struggling to sicknick, who was a 13year veteran of the Capitol Police force died a day of the riot. With each passing day it seems were learning more about those that took part in the attack. For many, the underpinning was the rally just before. Who paid for it . Ranke kay looks into who footed the bill. Reporter thats conspiracy theorist alex jones talking about a key donor that help fund if bulk of the rally in washington, d. C. That donor, according to the Wall Street Journal is Julie Jenkins fancelli, the heiress of p publix super market. She didnt respond to cnns request for comment but did issue a statement to the Wall Street Journal saying i am a proud conservative and have real concerned associates with integrity. And i would never support any violence, particularly the tragic and horrific events that unfolded on january 6th. Floridabased publix has more than 100 store in the southeast and 800 here in florida alone. The backlash against the chain that be swift with the boycott publix on twitter. One user tweeted, wont be shopping with this dictatorship wannabe organization. Another user tweeted called for a Boycott Writing Profits from this Supermarket Chain were used to fund trumps illegal and seditious efforts. Despite that, publixs spokesperson toll us we cannot comment on misfanclis actions. This isnt the first time fancelli and publix have been in the spotlight because of donations. In 2019 she donated 2,000 to floridas republican governor and in december last year, publix donated 100,000 to his pact, friends of ron desantis. So great to be here at publix. Reporter that was a month before desantis announced a partnership with publixs pharmacies to carry the vaccine in florida. Im delighted to be here to make an exciting announcement regarding covid19 vaccinations for our senior citizens. The timing of it all raised eyebrows. The Governors Office denies the vaccine deal with publix was any quid pro quo, telling us those claims were baseless and ridiculous. Some on social media need convincing, one twitter user write, desantis has to go. He gay publix the Vaccine Distribution after they gave him money. Randy, how many pharmacies are offering vaccines in florida . Just tonight the governor said hes increasing the amount that will be offering it now. A total of 325 publix pharmacies. The problem is, publix isnt everywhere, is people who live there dont have access. The state is certainly trying to help. They have these mobile units going out. They have Vaccination Events taking place at churches. But a lot of folks asking, why not expand it to other Pharmacy Chains in the state . But now for the time being, if youre going to a pharmacy it is only available at publix because of the deal with the state. Randy, thank you very much from florida. Well be right back.
