let s get to our other top headline this morning. willie has that. yeah, it s what we were talking about the top of the show. a reversal of a deal made last week with the january 6th select committee in the house, former white house chief of staff under president trump, mark meadows, announced through his attorney he will not appear today for his scheduled deposition. committee leaders immediately threatened a vote to hold meadows in contempt of congress, arguing he has no grounds for refusing to speak with the panel as he promotes a book touching on many of the topics in which they want to question him. chair thompson, vice chair cheney concludes with the following. quote, if mr. meadows refuses to appear, the select committee will be left no choice but to advance contempt proceedings and recommend that the body in which mr. meadows once served prefer him for criminal prosecutions. meadows explained the reversal in an appearance yesterday. we found that in spite of our cooperation
people that have to face, you know, basic account for basic needs. right. food, shelter, security. here, we re talking about, you know, some minor infringement on personal i wouldn t even say it is a minor infringement. it is a community service. right. it is a community good. by the way, how many vaccines do you have to have when you re in the military? how many vaccines when you go off to combat? anthrax was five alone i think. nobody complained about that. ouch. nobody complained. willie, suddenly, oh, my gosh, i can t get one vaccine that s going to, you know, maybe save my life and help me actually go into, you know, areas with other members of, you know fellow troops. roy blunt though, i know roy blunt. roy blunt knows better, willie. seriously? saying this is the most insidious form of totalitarianism, when roy blunt got five vaccines to go to
span bath? the vaccines are working. if you were around everybody who has been vaccinated, man, they re working. willie has breaking news on that. on that topic, pfizer announced lab studies show a third dose, the booster of their covid-19 vaccine, neutralizes the omicron variant. that is incredible news. wow. great news. amazing. we haven t heard from moderna on this question. if you have the pfizer biontech vaccine, the third dose, getting the booster neutralizes the omicron variant, which will be peace of mind and great news about keeping things open here the next stretch as the variant spreads. that s great news. you have the pfizer pill that hopefully is going to be effective as well. you have, again, in new york city, nine out of ten people who are vaccinated. the numbers keep going up. this is really good news. if we keep going in this direction, we re going to have a good spring. yeah, there was another study
versus those i mean, those numbers, for now, are born out for everybody to see, even those who were perhaps a bit skeptical. they now see it, thinking, i can live if i take this vaccine. i d rather live. what are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? right. willie, when you see time and time again, willie, that time and time again that nine out of ten people that are in the emergency room are unvaccinated, at some point, that catches on, even to the biggest vaccine skeptics. it really starts moving people. our time in new york city, i ve spent a good bit of time in new york city over the past month. i have been out in a lot of restaurants. it s hard to get into the restaurants. you have to show them the vaccine card. i have been in a lot of restaurants and looked around and said, man, this place, it s like 1999 here. i would go home, you know, and say, should i take a spick and
