good question. the biden role is slated to go into effect in early january i believe the fourth if i'm not mistaken which means the high court will likely have to act relatively quickly. late tonight, this just in, utah's attorney general a man b the name of sean reyes says tha his state will appeal employer covid 19 coronavirus mandates i fact he saying that he is state and other states will come together to seek emergency relief from the high court. in the meantime the white house chief medical advisor dr. anthony fauci said is surge of the owner graun variant is unavoidable. he said it may require the redefinition of what it means t be fully vaccinated. >> we have been warned that tha would be coming. you mentioned folks that are going to appeal this. i've gotten a couple briefs tha have literally been they must'v been drafted and ready to go because those are been filed, this goes to justice cavanaugh. as we keep an eye on that, president biden is struggling with his approval ratings. one at the things that people say is shaking their confidence in him are these gaps that he keeps making. i understand it happen again today in south carolina. >> painful to watch great if yo have a chance to check it out. this is why they sorta like to keep him under wraps. fewer appearances in fewer apps. he spoke to the south carolina state university and he committed several verbal gaps a different points he reflected o the quote george family justice act policing acts, mangling the name of the george floyd justic in policing act brady also repeatedly referred to the vice president b1 harris as presiden harris. in speaking of, the vp very interesting got into it with media shows tonight so here is the real president of this country,. >> come on. it's joe biden. no no no no, no, no. it's joe biden, and don't start talking like a republican about asking whether or not he's president. and it's joe biden and i'm vice president, my name is kamala harris. >> there you go. that exchange will no doubt be replayed an awful lot this weekend as the vice president tries to shift the perception o her strength, how it plays out next week upon further review i still anyone's game. >> thank you very much. we will see you back here in just a minute. concerns grow over the omicron variant. here to help us understand the level of threats and how we can deal with the anxiety we may have going into christmas. a different kind of doctor, fox news contributor and pastor at first baptist church in dallas, texas. i understand might have a littl trouble hearing us, but i think that you are with us. there you are. >> great to have you back right let me ask you about the emotional side of this. fox had this headline had to deal with more covid uncertaint they talk about how hard the last couple of years have been. after nearly two years of grief fear, and day-to-day pandemic turmoil. the emergence of the omicron variant throws another wrench into what we had hoped would finally be post pandemic life, all this uncertainty is inherently stressful human brai doesn't cope well with uncertainty, it defaults to anxiety in the face of a potential threat right i know you've counseled many people probably thousands over the years, what you have for us tonight? >> shannon, i'm concerned about the real threat this variant poses, but i'm also concerned about the negative effects that continued isolation and lockdowns are going to have on the spiritual and emotional health of americans. i don't think we can take much more of this. we need to be together with one another, with families, friends and churches to be emotionally and spiritually healthy. they're is an answer to that bird there's a way to accomplis that and mitigate this real threat and that's by getting vaccinated. i know vaccinations don't guarantee you won't get the virus, but it guarantees you're not going to be hospitalized an die. this coming sunday were having christmas at my church first baptist dallas, we're going to have a full crowd, president trump is going to be there. the reason i feel confident in doing that is because most of our people have been vaccinated. the bible has a good word it says for god is not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and of the sound mind. i think the best formula for dealing with this is to trust god, he has, but use your sound mind, use good judgment. get vaccinated and enjoy being back together with one another. >> wenham mayberry favorite versus. let me ask you about this because a lot of people are pointing to places that are ver highly vaccinated and the fact that they are still having enormous vaccine, it appears i don't know if it's waning, what's happening, with the proper terminology is but there are spikes of cases so a number of colleges are requiring boosters, the headline for the ap is there they say much is still unknown about the omicron variant and how big of a threat is, many see boosters as their best hope, so my question is, i these are places where the students are already vaccinated they've had their two shots and they're having cases off the charts, will the booster change that, is mandating it the right thing? and will it stop the threat? >> shannon, in general i think the mandates need to be selective and we can't really impose them in the one-size-fits-all. all go back to the point of advocacy that i have been makin to our public health officials which is that we need to be focused on immunity. they're is no question the omicron is bypassing the vaccin and there's also no question that getting boosters in boosting the concentration of antibody in the blood does serv a good protective role. again, it all depends on the level of antibody in your blood and how much immunity you have. i think it's a fact that a vast number of college students probably have optimal antibody levels. frankly, the symptoms are quite mild. i don't necessarily favor of vaccine mandates in colleges in younger i think that also is advocated. >> this may be also for high school and for middle school kids in the ages that they go o down. again, if these college kids were fully vaccinated with the two doses, they've now had covid , would you think or suggest a mandatory booster for them to come back in the spring make sense. >> look, there is one category of students which it absolutely avoid getting a vaccine and those are kids who have had a full regimen of vaccination plu a natural infection. within the span of 8-10 months think there's going to be somewhere upwards of 20 percent of the kids in colleges in high schools around the country who have been vaccinated and who have also had a natural infection. that cortical rate is robustly to the enforced vaccinate these kids, i think is a colossal error, and frankly it's medical malpractice, so it's unconscionable for administrators to be imposing these and kids. the other category is kids that have been vaccinated and have high levels of antibodies. one of the big failures in our public health paradigm here has been the fact they get past yea the fda has wasted time and not really determined what the optimal level of antibody is in vaccinated individuals. this is something we know with most viruses. the fda has actually colossally failed in figuring this out. to the contrary, on may 19th of 21, the fda discouraged americans from measuring antibodies. this is the time to screen for antibodies not the virus. >> you've pointed that out before about the fda advocating against testing. whether you been vaccinated or had natural immunity that's an important number you need to know to make decisions about your health. you referenced people growing fatigue. do you feel worn out about changes made to daily life? yes, a lot. 36 percent, yes a little, 24 percent break know, 39 percent. i think that 60 percent of americans saying to some extent they are worn out about the impact covid has had and the changes it's made to their lives . >> they're frustrated which is the reason we need to get back together. they're is a poll that came up this week that shows that american spiritual health is no in great shape. people are praying left, they'r identifying with faith laughs and there's a reason for that for the christian faith was never designed to be practiced in isolation, it's a team sports . we need one another. i hope that is people become disconnected with their church and family of believers, one wa they will be energized and not feel worn out is from the energ that comes from being with like-minded people who love the same god. i encourage people who have gotten out of the habit of bein in charge to maybe make christmas the time to get reconnected to your fellow believers. >> i thought personally it was one of the toughest things we couldn't go to our houses of worship especially early on in the pandemic rate is been such blessing and i think you appreciate it even more to go back. thank you both, merry christmas to both of you. to keep merry christmas to you, shannon. not just because of covid, school mandates closing in masking, but because of actual threats on social media and playing violent and encouraging students to bring guns. david lee miller has the story from new york very. >> across the country schools were on high alert for a national school threat day. viral messages posted on social media sites weren't as cool shadings and bombings. homeland security and other law enforcement agency said the threats were not believed to be credible, they were not ignored. in salt lake city as student wh posted a photo holding a gun wa arrested with the weapon and ammunition on school grounds. when the student showed up, our officers meet immediately took them into custody and located o that student both a gun and ammunition. >> in the wake of the threat sums schools canceled classes for indiscreet security. lincoln high school in tacoma washington went into modified lockdown with all exterior door locked. >> it's crazy. scary. nothing like this has happened before. multiple reports a many we're posted on tik tok in a the statement the company said in part quote we've exhaustively search for content that promote violence in schools today but have still found nothing. we find videos discussing the rumor and warning others to sta safe rate the statement goes on to say we are working to move alarmist warnings that violate our misinformation policies. new york city the department of education asking parents to tel their children about the consequences of taking threats on social media that could jeopardize their bright futures. the police commissioner and nassau county, new york warns that anyone with access to the internet can create fear. >> it's like a stock photo of a weapon, you put that onto a pos and then you right underneath i i got guns, i'm going to shoot up the school. >> according to the fbi in addition to posting a hoax threat against a school as a federal crime, the consequences are real, up to five years in prison. >> david lee miller, thank you very much great suspect deals with a shocking shopping cart killer is now in police custody. 35 -year-old anthony robbins' i accused of murdering at least four women he met on dating sites. law-enforcement officials say robin said did unthinkable things with his victims. in disposed of their remains in shopping carts. >> he is called the shopping cart killer because he meets hi victims and so far we have for. to get the suspect is being hel at rocking him county jail. police are hoping to hear from anyone who may have had contact with him. after 12 days the defense is resting its case a british socialized accused of trafficking teenage girls. maxwell, the longtime companion of convicted and now deceased offender jeffrey epstein chose not to speak in her own defense when given the opportunity you take the witness dandridge she said the government has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, so there is n reason for me to testify. closing arguments are said to begin monday, the jury is expected to begin deliberations as soon as tuesday. an emotional scene in minneapolis were former police officer kim potter took the stand in her own defense. breaking down several times tha she describe the circumstances that led to the killing of don to wright. >> kim potter, the former minnesota police officer charge with manslaughter in the shooting death of 20 -year-old dante right sobs on the stand before her defense team rested. at one point the prosecutor drilled potter about why she didn't follow state laws after she shot wright. watch this exchange. you didn't run down the street and try to save his life, did you?
