Very clear. what is your sense of how the president is handling this right now, given what we re seeing in the last 24 hours, and the stark warning from the president that we may see another terrorist attack in the next day or two? well, jim, i just had the opportunity to speak to someone high up in the administration. that is rare i ve heard anybody in government be preoccupied in a grave sense taking this warning from the president very literally and so they re preoccupied with two things. one is the threat and also these last days when there s likely to be more chaos and people realize and afghanys realize the gates to hell are closing on them very, very quickly and there s a huge amounti of pressure coming at them the next couple of days, susan is right about that. susan, this note that we received in the last hour or so, i guess the taliban is saying they don t approve of what the united states are they
Circulated that about the movie s plot but the plague that turned people into zombies was caused by a genetically reprogrammed virus, not a vaccine. in a tweet the movie screen writer put a finer point on it. oh, my god, it s a movie. i made that up. it s not real. my goodness, that s where we are right now. oliver darcy joins me now. oliver, the people who are spreading this, do they think the science is realistic? are they just grasping for anything at this point? jim, you really can t make this up. what they re doing is taking a piece of disinformation and they re using an i am legend meme as a vehicle to drive that disinformation toward a broader crowd. so anti-vaxxers peddle this false notion that the virus is less dangerous than the vaccine. that the vaccine could potentially cause more harm to your body than the coronavirus. obviously that s not true and we have a huge amounti of data tha debunks it but this is the

Open question of whether the committee is even contemplating moving forward on its own is important to watch. here s what nadler had to say this morning about impeachment. what if the administration defies these court orders that you believe are imminent? well, if without question if an no administration has ever defied a court order. if they did that, that is so far beyond the pale that it s totally eliminating the rule of law, there would have to be an impeachment. and we ll of course hear from nadler later today, katherine. yes. i think one of the things to look to as this fight continues is members in some of the more moderate districts. those are the people that pelosi is really trying to give a certain amounti of cover to. people who flipped districts from republican to democrat who aren t interested in walking so far out on this.
