A human being to run so fast. The New York Times called it, one of mans hitherto unattainable goals, a sub4minute mile. Roger bannister did it, attained the unattainable. He said after the race, i felt pretty tired at end, but i knew that i would just about make it. And we may not all be athletes. Running a mile would probably take me into double digits. But for those of us who have made it this far in the trump presidency, for those of us who have had to endure an Election Night that turned into election weeks, we can empathize with Roger Bannister and his pretty tired legs. For us, its been more of a marathon than a sprint. Instead of four laps, its been four years. But unlike Roger Bannister, we have yet to cross that finish line because this president will not let this election end. Today the president initiated yet another lastditch effort to try to overturn the legitimate results of this election by calling for a recount in the state of wisconsin. Now, it is, of course, well with

Stacey abrams shortly. We start on a damp and windy day in oxford, england in 1954 when a 25yearold med student attempted to do something no human being ever had done before. Oxford, running for three days against the university, Roger Banister limbers up for a planned attack on a fourminute mile, never achieved by a man. In may of 1954 Roger Banister was the first person on earth to run a mile in under four minutes flat. He ran his four laps around the track in 3 59. 4. Track experts who follow this sort of thing said had it not been for the wind he would have shaved another second off of the time.

Followed. Likely hundreds in britainpy the end of tomorrow as we see more and more looking at the kind of thing that seemed impossible when all of this began. This is the quickest vaccine arrival in global history. We didnt see anything like this during the pandemic of 1918 or anything approaching it during so many that have occurred since. The significance of it cannot be last on the medical community or certainly the financial community. Racing to new highs for the s p 500 as the nasdaq. The dow put in a nice day. What is behind this optimism .

All of that could be ending. Not quickly, not right away. Doctors have been pointing out right now and even at the vaccine summit, dont get cocky or overconfident here. Dont stop Wearing Masks here or protecting your health or
Live from the white house. Have there been any indications from the president or his team that theyre even remotely focused on trying to get ahold of the pandemic right now . Certainly not from the president or his political aides, jake. Instead theyve tried to really down play what weve seen happening with the rollout of these vaccines, and the distribution that we were told was going to go seamlessly and it was going to have a certain amount of americans, of course, vaccinated by today, and now we are seeing they are falling far short of that goal. If you talk to the operation warp speed officials they say they are working on it. They know they are behind where they said they were going to be, where multiple officials said they were going to be. The president s head just does not seem to be focused on this. He has been almost singularly focused on what is going to happen next week when congress does meet to certify bidens win. That played a big role in why the president did cut his t
