Pete. Pete who is on top of the world . Sources tell me Amy Coney Barrett might on top of the world today. We shall see. The president is, as we mentioned, poised to make his announcement for third nomination to the Supreme Court. Sources stay will be judge Amy Coney Barrett. Lucas tomlinson joins us outside the Supreme Court as a bitter battle is expected in the senate. Lucas, good morning. Good morning, guys. Now, 27 years ago Justice Ginsburg was confirmed 963 in the senate. Needless to say this time around judge Amy Coney Barrett faces a much tougher confirmation process. The republicans do appear to vat votes. President trump says he is going to make it official this afternoon at 5 00 text message. Any say the biggest thing can you do is the appointment of judges, but especially the appointment of Supreme Court justices. Thats the single bingest thing a president can do. Because it sets the tone of the country for 40 years, 50 years, i mean, a long time. President trump first nomi
Oxygen to help him breathe yesterday, but we didnt learn that through his doctor. We dont know when the president actually tested positive. He told sean hannity thursday night at 9 00 p. M. He and melania were tested and waiting for results. He announced his positive result at 1 00 a. M. Friday morning on twitter. We do not know if this is true. It seems highly unlikely any responsible white house would allow the president to go to Campaign Events after having close contact with infected by thursday morning. We dont know when the president got infected, when he first got symptoms or his last negative test was. Nobody is saying. We dont know if theres been damage to his lungs. The president s doctor was evasive on that topic today. We do know all day, there has been bizarrely conflicting messages from the people closest to the president of the United States. We saw his doctor give a confusing and at times clearly evasive briefing. The first briefing, later his doctor said he twice had m
Once hed been revealed as the source according to the times and ap. And judd deer and spokesman for the president said, quote, the white house is fully committed to providing transparent updates on the president s recovery. That claim is simply absurd. We do not know with any confidence what the president s medical condition actually is. We do not know his prognosis or how long hes been Walking Around with covid. We dont know the last negative test he actually got. We dont know when he tested positive. That is the simply truth and well talk about it all tonight. I want to begin by thanking all the incredible medical professionals, the doctors, the nurses, everybody at walter reed medical center. I think its the finest in the world. For the incredible job theyve been doing. I came here, wasnt feeling so well. I feel much better now.

Different outlooks when it comes to the soon to be end of the presidency of donald trump. On one side theres the president s supporters, angry at the results of the National Vote count, convinced they were robbed and cheated. They demonstrated here in washington today. Then theres the president himself, publicly sigh lent, mostly out of sight today, slowing down only to wave at the pro trump protesters as they shouted in the streets. All of this happening at the same time as two major developments. The president s own officials declaring the election, quote, the most secure in american history. That comes from his department of homeland security. And an alarming spike in the deadly pandemic, 12 Straight Days now of more than 100,000 new coronavirus infections. A real World Medical emergency on a national came and at a critical time of transition when the company desperately needs solid leadership even from a president whose one term will end in a matter of weeks.

When i say were going to invoke the production act, go out even though we dont have the authority, go out and identify those companies that are prepared and will be able to do what were going to ask. As we made clear earlier this month, the Trump Administrations policy of holding back close to half the supply of the Vaccines Available did not make sense.
