reporter: well, bannon s arguing his sort of most persuasive argument according to legal analysts is he wasn t allowed to argue at trial, that he was just relying on the advice of his lawyers, that he didn t comply with the subpoenas because his lawyers told him he didn t have to because he was covered by executive privilege, but the case law in this circuit that covers washington, d.c., says that that s not a defense. if you defy a lawful subpoena, whatever your lawyers tell you, you should have known better and you can t use that as a defense. the justice department argued that is settled case law. even if that s the basis for bannon s appeal, he should not be allowed to stay out of prison while that appeal is pursued. that one could go either way. regardless of whether he goes to jail today or in the near future or gets the stay, the appeals process is likely to take several months to a year, jose. ken dilanian in washington. thank you so much. now to capitol hill where we re
treatments people can get access to. no vaccine for the new thing we re talking about either, right? xbb, not a tailored one, no, not the newer vare want. because it s a product of the ba. 2 variant we think we will have some coverage. the typical story, jose, we have sack seens that will work. every time a new one comes it makes it a little less effective. bottom line if you haven t gotten your updated booster, get it now because it ll kick in right in time for the holiday season where we might start seeing more cases of the xb variant in the united states. i m sorry to interrupt. how long after you do this, fifth or something booster, does it kick in? kick in? remember, we get an initial spike you start seeing antibody elevation within 48 hours. you get that peak for when you have the most active antibodies about two weeks after your booster. if you re trying to time it for thanksgiving, you can work
it can just be something like fussiness, not wanting to eat. those can be the precursors to distress. by the time you get them to the hospital, they have to take more drastic measures, put them on machines to help them breathe. we want to identify early. good news, there s a rapid test we re all running. it can test for flu, rsv and covid all at the same time. the key is getting to a health professional early. oh, wait. it s not one of those like with covid where you send out, going to the shelves and getting it off the shelves. no, it s not as convenient as you would like, but it is something that all doctor s offices, most any urgent clinic in the emergency room. they have these rapid panels so we can check literally within 15 minutes to see what s happening
