Transcripts For MSNBCW The 20240703

Senator robin undoes says he is not going anywhere. The allegations leveled against me are just that. Allegations. Allegations of an illegal robbery scheme. It will probably be a good idea if you do resign. Hollywood appears to be back in business. The 148day Writers Strike is officially over. A judge has just ruled that donald trump committed fraud by repeatedly exaggerating the value of his financial assets. And the judge ordered the dissolution of trumps businesses in the state of new york. Biden joined striking autoworkers in michigan today, a big deal in biden speak. Help the middle class. Do me a favor. Just get your union guys, your leaders, to endorse me. Okay . Donald trump is missing in action. He should be on this stage tonight. Youre ducking these things. Were gonna call you donald doc. Were determined to shut down the government, to burn the place down then elect the peoples business be done. Any hope of averting a Government Shutdown is looking weaker by the hour. Have you ever known me to quit after one time if it doesnt succeed . I dont stop. Dianne feinstein, the longest serving woman in the senate, has died at the age of 90. I look at that desk, and i know what we have lost. Im heartbroken, but diane would want us all to just rise to the occasion. We have made it to the end of what has been a really long week, and that means you are not because it is time the friday night cap. A breakdown of the biggest stories and look at whats ahead. Some of my favorite, a friend and conflict, molly john fast, such a correspondent for vanity fair, comedian john frugal san, and host of the Progress Podcast finds out and okay, lets talk about, well, theres funny things, sad things, terrible things, but this really terrible thing about to happen. And about 24 hours from now, unless something extraordinary happens, some sort of hail mary deal were going to have yet another Government Shutdown. John, i turn to you first. I know this has happened before. But this time it feels different. Do you think . Yeah. This is the most nonsensical government shut down and makes ted cruz look like obiwan. Kevin mccarthy doesnt always have completely competing Impeachment Inquiries distract from shutdowns, but when he doesnt make sure theres no house those are no as evidence. This thing is so preventable, this is the triumph of them are the Marjorie Taylor gaetz party, and it seems avoidable,. If. They want to have unpopular impeachments, and unpopular shutdowns on the eve of the president ial election year, go ahead, kevin. But ron, nonsense almost makes night a bit. This is not just about museums and National Parks being closed, made to delay, getting a marriage license. Lets talk about the Economic Impact and who gets impacted by this. Over 2 million federal employees had 2. 1 million americans in uniform who will not get paid if the government shuts down. The tsa and the air Traffic Controllers may or may not get paid and would have to go to work without pay if indeed the shutdown occurs on midnight sunday. In addition to that, they estimate that we lose two tenths of a Percentage Point of gdp growth per week during the shutdown. So yes, it sounds frivolous. Its an interparty squabble, something we havent seen before because its usually a disagreement from republicans or democrats. This is among factions of the Republican Party itself in the house only. And so it is wildly unnecessary but it could be potentially damaging. It will hurt people you know whats not gonna hurt . Members of congress. Because they get paid. Molly, yesterday, hours before she passed away, senator Dianne Feinstein voted to keep the government open while her republican colleagues were running this ridiculous Impeachment Inquiry show. Where does donald trump fit into all this . Its a good question, because this impeachment is really, matt gaetz is doing this because he thinks donald trump wants him to. Because donald trump truth, we use that encroach, were not using that word. Were not. He posted on his failing Social Media Site that he wanted to keep, he wanted to shut the government and then matt gaetz tweeted, hold the line. He retweeted that hold the line, and we really see gaetz, Marjorie Taylor greene, this chaos caucus, are doing what they think don trump wants him to do in the people are against that are mitt romney,. Guess what else doesnt get funded of the governments not operating january . The jerry six hearing. All the other hearings. The Biden Hearings will be funded. Thats what matters. But out of that chaos, i wonder if this is going to stick. Obviously its done for a reason that seems to be nonsensical, but it seems like it fits into a Larger Mission of eroding trust in government. The idea that oh, guess whats not happening . A functioning government. It seems like part of the mission. We all remember, what was, it six years ago, that famous interview where steve bannon said lets burn it down. The administrative state. Even if the intent is not so sophisticated, and maybe bannon is one of the more sophisticated long term thinkers when it comes to destroying the state, it seems like inadvertently, it we getting to a place where a lot of people, normal people think of themselves oh, the government isnt working again. And thats what will appear to most. People the party shuts down the government tends to get blamed. So if you look at history, if you impeach a president for no reason, like we saw in 1988 with bill clinton, the party that does this Privilege Impeachment tends to get blamed. So i think republicans, again, where the United States of amnesia, so who knows, but i think republicans are overplaying their hand. It may end with a new speaker vote within the next few days. This is my question. How is that actually gonna go down . So lets fast forward into next week. The government has shut down. The Marjorie Taylor gaetz faction of the house is going to try to kick Kevin Mccarthy out of his seat. What kind of chaos is that going to bring to a country who already looks at congress in the confidence they have and government is dropping by the minute . That is why Kevin Mccarthy is the most willing hostages i have ever seen. There are so many potential deals he could make Buddy Rather Grovel before the people. If he makes a deal with democrats he knows hes out. But if he doesnt hes out as well. Hes definitely out. His number two wont necessarily take the job. Steve scalise, and Republican Leadership will not. Scalise would be a factor but hes not gonna do it. Now isnt a future fruitful to run against government just . Yes, even still, the idea of how government should communicate to, again, normal people, sports fans, what they are. I looked up whos the most common occupation for federal employee, its a nurse. I would not have guessed this. I wouldve never guessed. I wonder what we talk about government, how are we describing the government, federal government actually is . Its easy to run against a deeply unpopular deep state. Saudi most of the confer conservatives who say they hate government actually love government. Thats how theyre rewarded donors. What they hate is democracy. But florida has the most federal employees. And florida has the republicans who are in the most perilous seats, the seats that are biden sees receipts that they managed to sort of flip at the last minute. So you do see how this could actually be bad for them. Lets talk about california. We all learned today, Trail Blazers in the longest serving email u. S. Senator, Dianne Feinstein died at 90 years old. Feinstein dedicated her life to service, and it started long before her time in washington. Our Andrea Mitchell has a look back on her incredible legacy. Dianne feinstein, a leading woman senator for generations, whose political career in california was launched by tragedy. November 1978, San Francisco mayor george must go any and Board Of Supervisors member harvey milk we are assassinated in city hall. Feinstein trying desperately to change mels life. Both mayor moscone and supervisor harvey milk open shot and killed. This inspired her passion for gun reform. She was elected mayor and became a national figure. On mondales short list for running mate. I have had an opportunity to be the first woman in the first mayor to be asked to go through an interview process. They view that is a major league of the door at something that is very important to do. It was Clarence Thomas hearing before an all male senate in 1991 that Got Feinstein to the senate. As she recalled in 2018. And what did i see button all male Senate Judiciary committee, grilling anita hill. And it was not nice. And it was not what one would like to see. And that was my incentive to rhonda in 1992. After decisive senate win, then senator joe biden made her the first woman on the judiciary committee. And congress she quickly made her impact, leading the charge for an Assault Weapons ban in 1994. And Senate Intelligence chair she took on the cias waterboarding of prisoners, Holding Hearings into the bush administrations harsh interrogation techniques. But in later years, faulted her performance praising republican Lindsey Graham for Amy Coney Barrett confirmed before the 2020 election. This is been one of the best set of hearings i participated in. But through political and personal trials, Dianne Feinsteins legacy is a trail blazer indoors. Andrea mitchell, washington. Senator feinsteins career was filled with History Making F guns, probably differently than most of my colleagues. I think i have seen too much. I wrote the Assault Weapons legislation. I found the body of harvey male. I became the product of assassination. I watched his innocent after innocent has been killed. The latest of with which, in my state, is two weeks, ago a sixyearold, and a spiderman costume, eating an Ice Cream Bar in the kitchen, killed by a bullet coming through the room. I can show you in los angeles where a Woman Ironing killed the same way. A youngster playing the piano, kill the same way, bullet right through the walls. Hes a paraplegic today. I like to just make a couple of comments and then some questions. I think it has become pretty clear now that the airplane remains a major explosive device. I think its very clear that there are going to be more attempts. This attack took place over United States soil. I think the handling by the fbi is entirely appropriate. And i would like to bring to this committees attention the fact that the fbi has done excellent interrogation in the past. The subcommittee of which senator kyle and i have participated, ive had former fbi agents testified. Tributes poured in today from colleagues and leaders. She was known for her bipartisan outreach and got praise and accolades from people on both sides of the aisle. Heres how some of them celebrated her. She was a historic figure, trail blazer for women, and a great friend. Diane made her mark a National Security to the environment gun safety to protecting civil liberties. The countrys gonna miss her dearly. And so original and i. But maybe the trait that stood out most of all what is her amazing integrity. Her integrity was a diamond. Her integrity sean like a beacon across the senate and across the country. For all to see and hopefully emulate. Dianne was a trail blazer, in her beloved home state of california, and our entire nation are better for her dog good diligence and excellent service. She was absolutely fearless but also very open. The first woman mary of San Francisco coming into office understand circumstances, but leading us with great dignity, with great effectiveness, and great leadership. If you want to talk about her legacy, where she goes from, near the state of california, i want to ask you about gavin newsom. Because gavin newsom almost appears to have a bit of a Stealth Strategy these days, that he is popping up everywhere. Hes really showing his support for joe biden, but there he is on john hannity. Theyre, again hes willing to sit down and debate rhonda santas. What is the point of that, by the way . What is gavin newsom . Whats the point . Thats my question. Is the point that gavin newsom is quietly presenting himself to the unit United States when people go, well i couldnt be joe biden, who could be . And gavin is going, you are looking at him. Is that what hes doing . It certainly seems that. Way but i would guess that, and this is always dangerous as well, you dont take it an incumbent president regardless of his name. Hes not taking him on. Thats my point. Its right there. Its Yves Harrington if you need her. He does this and that would be Glenn Youngkin who is waiting to be august of next year, don trump will have had seven criminal trials. If its a contested convention, Glenn Youngkin can walk away with a squeaky clean surprised nominee. The same dynamic is happening in both parties. If you get a weekend the problem with the republican primary is not too few candidates. Its too many. Youngkin, its not like theyre solved by getting another person on their. There are nine people in. There but no one likes. Them well, once they like them before they get in there. Heres a big issue for republicans. Since 2016, 32 million young people have turned 18. 20 million seniors have disappeared. Or have passed, i should say. A 52 million person swing towards a Younger Generation who votes. Millions become citizens, as well. Those are big numbers going into 2024. Given the social issues that are on the table, irrespective of where the economy is, may actually hold the key to the 2024 election. All right, these guys are not going anywhere. We have a lot to get to. Coming up, President Biden goes on the attack about the threat donald trump poses to our democracy as trump skips another gop debate. Want to talk about should that even be allowed . And later, getting to know one of the republican president ial candidates a little bit better, even if you didnt ask for. It 11th hour just getting warmed up on this nightcap. Stick around. Stick around just between us, you know whats better than mopping . Anything ugh. Well, i switched to swiffer wetjet, and its awesome. Its an allinone, that absorbs dirt and grime deep inside. And it helps prevent streaks and haze. Wetjet is so worth it.

He came out swinging this week, attacking former president Donald J Trump by name and describing him as a direct threat to our democracy. Meanwhile, the other republicans are hoping to be the nominee got together for a debate, if thats what you college, where donald trump again decided to skip. I want to start with that. Pablo, do you. First i love stuff like this. I love when debates go bad. It reminds me of watching, no, look, i come from sports, and sometimes the most entertaining games of the total messes [laughter] and i love the idea that Chris Christie practiced in front of his Mirror A Line that he choreographed and delivered and it was maybe the funniest unintentional thing i have everything seen. Truly. Donald. Like if like Bill De Blasio when you are practice zinger and there were crickets in the room. It was beautiful. I loved it. Vivek just keeps getting better, and he seems like any haskell after a night of doing blow with james woods. [laughter] many are saying that, actually. Rhonda santas is i felt like he wasnt even there. Wasnt even there he just looks like he just stole peewee hermans bike. Theres nothing going on. Its what is interesting about desantis is that they put him on a diet. I dont know what. And he got very thin and now hes sort of not even there. Yeah. I honestly dont know what to make about the debates. Not only is viewership down, which i dont care about, but also theyre not that interesting to me. None of them seem to be running against donald trump. So thats actually my point. Running for a cabinet job, Vice President industrial complex. Its funny, its one of the least compelling things i have seen in my career as a journalist, is to watch either one of these republican debates. We know trump is going to win the nomination, hands down. I dont think theres any bearing, again, its spite of unforeseens from circumstances, barr unforeseen circumstances hes gonna be the president ial nominee. Part of the glory about this debate is that it felt so high stakes and low stakes at the same time. Should donald trump, should any nominee be allowed to not participate in the debate . Hold on a minute. If youre, lets say, one of the lesser known candidates, you dont have the budget for being paid ads, the tv networks are saying youre polling it diddlysquat, i not putting you on. Should the American People who, in theory, arent hyper political, shouldnt that be the night where they get to say, let me evaluate these candidates. Let me hear from them. Donald trump being allowed to skip, doesnt that give him this unfair advantage . And the ability not to endorse whoever is the nominee, because all of them had to agree life as unfair advantages. It works for him. I mean, should they make a rule change and say, you want the nomination, you gotta show up and play ball. My son would love to go to harvard. Hes going to need to take the sats and a good grades. It cant go there because he has a a legacy who donates millions to the campus he wont need to show up and take the sats. Thats what donald trump has. That kind of privilege. I do think that ultimately what the problem with this Republican Party is theyre not interested in policy. No policy talk. You have these interesting questions that were actually very liberal. Childcare . When was the last time you heard republicans worrying about childcare . Health care . Their popularity of obamacare . It was like a debate from a different party. And then no one could come up with any policy answers. And so i do think its a good exercise for republicans to be reminded that they have no particular policies except anti democrat. We also need to put it in these terms. This is not 1960, its not 1980, its not 1982, its not 2000, when the entire population might have been galvanized to sit in front of the Television Set and i just opposing views. But why not give the population the opportunity to do that . Showing up on one Cable Network that caters to a specific audience. Its not that thing. Again, its the off year. There will be much higher audiences for this come 2020. For i get, entirely, stephanie, why you feel that way. If you actually are seriously about making this serious, in needs to be serious. Thats the point. Part of the guilty pleasure aspect of this for me is, ill get lightly stoned and watch this. Its a rewarding show. [laughter] thats how its presented if you listen to whats being said, which is to, say its impossible to listen to whats being said. But isnt that terrible for america . Absolutely. So fox can sell advertising time. If all of these candidates, really believe don trump would be good in the draw job if they would all vote for him, if it gets the nomination, then the drop out right now. Theyre auditioning for higher public speaking fees and media deals. Thats it. We dont have to watch their addition. I do is show. It used to be called around the horn. Theres a mute button. But the point is, theres better control there of the panelists, of the cohosts, because you can literally cut our microphone. I believe that if youre gonna take this seriously, part of Crowd Control is actually saying to one of these candidates, you cannot talk right now, and taking it out of their hands. Until that exists, youre gonna get a bunch of people basically cosplaying as their version of alpha male, which is hilarious, Ryan Williams has to debate on which i was a panelist in 2003 for the democrats when it was west generalist clark, days before we went on, the tenth person to join the fray, we did have much more control at that point in time. We did ask a much more pointed questions. It was not this kind of freeforall food fight that you get now. And we did illicit some answers from some of the candidates. It was very cyber, brian williams, and myself, and it was quite interesting, quite interesting experience. The moderators had good questions. Its that it was a pivot. As soon as they were asked about anything, i want to ask you about the autoworkers strike. Yeah. I want to talk to you about im gonna talk to you about the borderline. And so thats the issue. But that is a fundamental problem. They have no policy. They have catchphrases and thats it. Were gonna seal the border, build the wall even though trumps wall was great, and it still exists but we have to build it more and we have to simultaneously say they love trump and also offer some kind of alternative to trump, which is their love of trump. Im trying to say it before, theyre not running against joe biden. They are running in theory to be the republican nominee, and the only thing, Chris Christie is the one whos willing to punch the hardest. He mentioned none of trumps 91 charges. He did not mention that the night before a new york judge found him guilty of fraud. Instead he just calls him a chubby. She didnt duck mention he was in the tank of a, trump up until trumps election and afterwards as well. That was like you walked star was empire strikes, back empire of the, jedi and then you realize those videos the bad guy, really. Molly is exactly right. The gop has not put non millionaires first, i would say, since nixon. If these guys had policies, and they wanted to do that would help not, millionaires they would never shut up about. It they do, not and so it is going to be six more months of hunter biden stories. There is Something Else they did not talk, about and very few republicans have talked about it this week. It has to do with our democracy. The fact that donald trump made a threat to one of the highest ranking officials in our military, saying mark milley should be executed. I did not hear that mention on the debate, stage and from those lawmakers. He also threatened a private corporation using the private government against a private company. Its not even need the news that weekend. It was not even like we had Breaking News Alerts about, you, know people being traded, different baseball, teams who did not have a Breaking News Alert about the former President Threatening do not forget taylor swift which dominated the helines. This goes to the piece you wrote for vanity fair this, week i want to ask all of you about, this how the media is covering this president ial election. What is your Biggest Issue with it right now . What do we need to do in terms of Self Reflection . So i wrote about, this and there is a guy new York Magazine who wrote something really smart about it as well. There is an anxiety in the Mainstream Media that if you explain donald trump as he, is you would look like a partisan. You will look like you work for the dnc. Unfortunately, donald trump has 91 indictments 91 counts. He has this criminal and civil and he also has threatened death to general milley. Those things have to be reported. What i think is interesting, is he used to be in 2015, he had Two Billion Dollars of free media. And at every pitch, the Mainstream Media swung at it. Now the swing fewer, but you are missing these really scary autocratic things. One of our own colleagues would criticize versus Donald Donald trump. I have what i think is a fairly radical solution to this problem of dealing with donald, trump or any candidate who refuses to answer questions. You take the interview, and if the person stonewalls, you you do a cutaway where you are actually stuff, you then record a fact check, inserted into the body of the interview your, doing and then you go back to the interview. You do that throughout, this so no one can steamroll you in any meaningful way. At some point along the way honest to god. To your history, you just throw them, in and you say no, here are the seven facts that were just by the person i was speaking to, now lets go back to the interview. It does feel like theres no beating Donald Trumps mastery of the bed of nails approach to scandal, if you have 1 million of these things, i will line cross it like the, pillows shameless superpower. The shamelessness is the thing i laugh out, darkly, admittedly, when i watch this debate. That is what he is doing. We have to ask what we are doing as the media, as we continue to talk about joe bidens, age you look old, where is the chris, he is basically the same age as donald trump. If joe biden were running against ron desantis, and people wanted to make this about, age there is a conversation to be had. Matt how is their continuous coverage about joe bidens age, and not about the person who is most likely running against him. Exactly. I will tell you something about the around almost trumps heart, if we want to talk about age. I will take the old guy who needs another nap, over the old guy who needs another defense attorney. But also, trump did confuse jab with bush, with each w this week. He confused. He said jab goddess into iraq. Not showing up to these debates by the way. He was the best at it. The only person there to do a term would be Chris Christie. And he knows it. All right, to not go anywhere, this squad is sticking around, because if there is one particular candidate we are going to talk about next to might be getting under your skin and you are not sure why, yes, what pablo is going to tell you all about him when the 11th hour continues. H hour continues with this tomorrow. You wont. Its ripe in here. My eyes are watering. Look how crusty this is. Ugh, its just too much. Not with this. Good advice. When stains and odors pile up, its got to be tide. I told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms. With my Psoriatic Arthritis symptoms. But just ok isnt ok. And i was done settling. If you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. Rinvoq is a oncedaily pill that can dramatically relieve ra and psa symptoms, including fatigue for some. It can stop joint damage. And in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. Rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. Serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. People 50 and older with at least one Heart Disease risk factor have higher risks. Dont take if allergic to rinvoq as serious reactions can occur. Tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. Done settling . Ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. And take back whats yours. I have a radical idea for learn how abbvie could help you save. The Republican Party, we need to win elections. Part of how we win elections, is reaching the next generation of Young Americans where they are. This is infuriating, because tiktok is one of the most dangerous social media assets we can have, and what you have, done every time we hear you i feel a little bit more for what you say. Because, i cant believe clearly, Vivek Ramaswamy is getting under nikki haley, skin but she is not alone. After wednesday nights debate, a whole lot of people are asking, who is this guy . Where did he come from . And why does he immediately make me want to mute the television . You are in luck. Because public knows him well. The fac was not born from an algorithm, he actually went to, college and he went with so i want you to sit, down lane, and lets find out who this caricature of a persons. You went to harvard oh into zone in, i want you to zoom in on pablo, play to, us who is this person . This haircut . The Vic Ramaswamy and i were not friends, but we were in class together. So for 20 years i have been making joke about that guy from school to my friends who went to harvard with, us because he was always that guy. That guy stephanie, is a that guy to me is the guy who always resists is handing class, not in an of itself, but that guy is somebody whos both insane ambitious, and insanely image conscious, but also totally numb to the idea that everyone around him is cringing. So Vivek Ramaswamy, in lecture a philosophy, Cost Hundreds of kids would races, hand and every time he would raise his hand he wouldnt know specifically i would remember, because it was in the shape of av. Look, im not here to be a psychoanalyst he would raise his hand in the shape of av, and it was like he was shining his own bat signal for terrible libertarian takes as a freshman in college. How would professors take to him . As that guy, he was also, useful because he was the contrarian. Vivek ramaswamy, on some level, he has prophesied truly that people from college would come out and Start Talking about him. So, i just want to be clear, as a tool of the deep state here to undermine his campaign, ive been instructed to remind people that the dude has been ridiculous for 20 years. Part of what is so absurd about, him and why i cringe watching him is not because of his specific policy positions, although they are often absurd, not because he says Climate Change and how much internet is alive, which is of course absurd, it is because the dude is doing Obama Karaoke in front of everybody, and daring you to think that okay, this is what a smart person looks like. It is what an extreme ridiculous person looks like. So you are a harvard policy group chat on wednesday night, what did it look like . It was all of the same jokes we have been making for 20 years. There he, is fulfilling his cosmic destiny, to be that guy, demanding attention in front of america in the same way he was doing in more recent 2022, or a justice costs obviously. He was being again, stephanie, Vivek Romo Swami has a freshman was performing onstage under his alter ego around campus. He was a known campus celebrity. Because, he would be he was a libertarian rapper. What was his rap name . D. A. , d. A. Vic. He got what he always wanted, right, he was that kyle making fun, of him now there he is on the debate stage . It is the prophecy fulfilled. Of course it would go this way, and i just want to make clear as, well yes he has intellectual horsepower, is all of that is objectively true, academically successful, but he is also so shameless in ways that are jarring. Nick that is the surprise to me. He is not afraid of associated with people that i think are beneath his intellect. Nydia of oh, you are lying, also you are pandering, and you are doing it to a base that lets be honest, isnt exactly what somebody who is academically brilliant, aspired to convince when they were in college. It is a little isnt he just learning directly from donald trump . Isnt that what donald trump did . Hes not going from Obama Karaoke, to trump karaoke. It is this unholy blend of, oh, that is devolution. That is what i did not foresee. He would be all in on a side of the aisle that i thought he would be too smart to be so shameless towards. Power. Power. That is an exciting thing. Yes. For everybody out there who wanted who is this, guy probably just gave it to. You do not go anywhere, coming up, our nightcap returns. Time for mvps of the week. To severe plaque psoriasis. Now i feel free to bare my skin, thanks to skyrizi. uplifting music nothing is everything im celebrating my clearer skin. My way. With skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. In another study, most people had 90 clearer skin, even at 5 years. And skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. Serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. Thanks to clearer skin with skyrizi this is my moment. Theres nothing on my skin and that means everything nothing is everything nows the time. Ask your doctor about skyrizi, the 1 dermatologistprescribed biologic in psoriasis. Learn how abbvie could help you save. My husband and i have never been more active. Learn how abbvie could shingles doesnt care. I go to spin classes with my coworkers. Good for you, shingles doesnt care. Because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50. But shingrix protects. Proven over 90 effective, shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. Shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose.
