things. a multilayer strategy is the only thing to beat the pandemic. we got to keep delivering on that. dr. pernell, thank you for your expertise. thank you. still ahead, a viral threat on tiktok about school violence leaves schools and students on edge. we ll tell you what s behind the rumors and what the social media platform is saying about it. plus, it was a busy week for the committee investigating the january 6th riot. who they heard from this week. and what former trump administration they believe is behind one of those text messages sent to mark meadows about trying to overturn the election.
roger stone loves going into the cameras, calling investigates invalid or corrupt. but he does have a right to invoke his fifth amendment if he has any concern about criminal repercussions. so, how do you see this playing out for him? yeah, well, remember, roger stone was actually convicted of lying to congress before. so he s been through this you know, he was going to do everything he could to having to avoid testifying. most people consider invoking the fifth don t, because they think it s going to look bad. that s not an issue for roger stone. now, the house could try to get him granted immunity. they could challenge his implication of the fifth. i don t think they re going to do either of those things. he s going to invoke the fifth but the committee is going to use other means to get at information. remember, they ve subpoenaed cell phone records. they ve got lots of other witnesses who are testifying and
lots of other witnessing who are cooperating. i want to talk about this exclusive reporting by cnn. the november 5th text came from rick perry former energy secretary. a spokesman for perry tells cnn he denies being the author of the text. but a few things here, one, it is notable that he would be pushing a strategy to potentially disenfranchise millions of voters after the election. but also, the committee originally said this is from a lawmaker, yet another sort of forced error from the committee. so what s your reaction to this? and what does it mean for the investigation? yeah. so, a member of the committee who you said it was from a member of congress, i think it s now corrected the record said that was actually not the case. it s also not surprising that a republican loyalist rick perry or anybody else would be, you know, pushing this idea. because, you know, this is kind of a strategy that was in plain
been closing over the state in the last two weeks. and nobody knows what to do. so, kind of struggling with that as people, themselves, not knowing how to handle this and looking to us. well, what do you tell them? what is your response, based on your work on this issue? well, you know, it s interesting because i knew a lot i know still many people in oxford. that is in my district. but i haven t lived there a long time. i actually have family members in the school. and we spent a week not well, we still haven t told anyone what to do, i will say that, but the committee was so horribly impacted. so emotional about everything and still is. so, asking them, or telling them what to do is not we re not really ready for that right now. we spent a lot of time trying to support them. and what we ve done in the last week, sort of open up our doors to say, what do you think?
