know what, she is right. it is this extraordinary gift that all these people that we love and follow, you know, it makes sen. i m really proud of the fact that i wasted my life listening to the beatles and dissecting every melody and every bass line that paul mccartney ever did. he knows every one. every single one. big time. yeah. it s worth it s been worth every second. it really has. explain that. totally. and look at the power of joanie mitchell, who s at her peak now. these are songs that will be communicating to us for decades upon decades. cameron, on the topic of staying power, such a personal story for you, almost famous, but it has resonated for so many people for so long at this point and now in the new form. what is that like to have your story mean so much to other people? thanks, jonathan. you know, it tells it says to me that there s power in telling a personal story, because almost famous was a little movie we got to make because jerry mag
facilities as well as into at least one residential building. also ahead, two members of the house armed services committee warn that the time is running out for u.s. to prepare itself for possible war with china. we ll speak with congressman seth bolton and mike wahle sh fresh off their trip to taiwan. plus, a new covid warning ahead of the holiday season as health officials warn of a coming wave of infections this winter. we ll be joined by cnbc s andrew ross sorkin, who exclusively sat down with the ceo of pfizer, who had covid not once but twice in the last two months. wow. very interesting. i ve got to say you can t get rid of it. i have to say i really thought i was one of these really dumb people, i didn t get it we didn t get it throughout the whole thing. traveled, found ourselves around people all the time.
maybe you get covid, maybe the bird flu, you re immune for 17 years. not the case. maybe three months monopoly . maybe three months. can t get covid. that s not the case at all. i ve been fighting fatigue for a couple weeks off and on. well, the thing is we went to the queen s funeral on the day that i was supposed to get the booster. and i know from my experience if i d gotten the booster i could have still gotten covid but i would have sneezed twice and gone, what was that? instead of having this fatigue. the idea is these things built up your resistance so when you do get it you just sort of swat it away. that s what americans don t understand. that s why it s so important, i can t believe i m having to say this again, it s so important that they get the vaccine or they get the booster, even if they re most selfish people on
