tonight, costars and fans paying tribute to actor willie garcon, best known for his role on sex and the city. and america strong tonight. the oldest park ranger in america. and she has just turned 100. good evening and it s great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. and we begin with those key decisions that will effect millions of americans on booster shots, who will get them first and how soon? tonight, the fda is expected to authorize these boosters any time now. the cdc then set to lay out the guidelines. this would be for those who got the pfizer vaccine, because pfizer applied for authorization first. decisions on moderna and johnson & johnson boosters could come within weeks. an fda sadvisory committee say ing america could move forward for 65 and older and those at
nation, he should have come a sovereign nation, he should have asked for authorization first. but those people are a minority in the republican party. it s rand paul and mike lee, the kind of anti-interventionist wing. the bulk of the party seems content to say this was an exigent circumstance. you heard marco rubio say because assad had nerve gas and showed that he was willing to do it, we had an immediate threat, an immediate threat to american assets and personnel in the region. but if he goes further, then he needs to ask for authority. and what you re going to see is whether congress is willing to get into this gray area of when the president needs to ask for authority, and then you ll see if congress actually follows through and wants to take a vote on granting him authority in 2013 when president obama was in this situation, there was a chemical attack in syria, and obama said to congress, give me authority. they didn t want to vote. they didn t want to go on record. and so if
