you know, this is a time for choosing. we choose democracy over hytocracy, love over hate. these are the questions of our time that i ran for president to try to help answer in dr. king s life and legacy and many i view shows the way forward. just have to look back. you have to be prepared. president biden marks the holiday with a look at his legacy and the work still to be done to ensure voting rights for all americans. meanwhile, house republicans spent that day upset that president biden doesn t have visitor logs for his private homes in delaware. information they never had any interest in when president trum health care plan hundreds of classified materials at his mar-a-lago country club. and from ridiculous lies to russian ties. the bizarre george santos saga takes another turn with new reporting that links him to the family of a sanctioned russian oligarch. good morning. welcome to way too early on this tuesday, january 17th. i m jonathan lemire. we begin on cap
oath keepers to stay on the outside and stay fully armed and prepared to go in armed if they have to. if it kicks off, you rock and roll. that was oath keepers founder stuart rhodes. you hear that audio, why have prosecutors introduced that? what do they think it proves? this audio is damming according to the doj s case here, these are conversations between the group that sound like they re specifically planning violence in response to political transfer of power and that s obviously the crux of the government s case in this trial. but i think on the defense side, there are obviously going to be some holes that can be poked in that audio and that s going to be the question here, whether the prosecutors can reach that proof beyond a reasonable doubt when there are questions about the vagueness of some of the comments in there. we ll talk about the defense in a second. there s also sound of them talking about weapons. listen. pepper spray is legal, tasers are legal, and
good morning. welcome to way too early. this is friday, september 23rd. i m sam stein in for jonathan. special master appointed a review the document that s the fbi seized from president donald trump s mar-a-lago home has given the former president s lawyers until a week from today. they gave them that line to back up trump s allegation that the fbi planted evidence during the august 8th search. trump and lawyers have publicly insinuated multiple times that acts planted evidence during the search without providing any proof of that claim. special master also told trump s legal team they must state by september 30 if they belief the seized items were incorrectly described in the 11 page inventory list which stated some of the documents were highly classified. trump claimed he declassified the documents he found that were found in the search that were marked classified and highly sensitive. however, lawyers have not made the assertions in actual court. yesterday s filing ju

the a5. china has not rolled out any updated boosters, unlike the us and many european countries, although in the uk for example they have been using ba one bivalent which is also very outdated, so i think theissueis also very outdated, so i think the issue is that the virus has mutated substantially and the vaccines currently are just not, the muscular vaccines are just not very good against infection anymore against omicron. they are still good and decent against hospitalisation but china has a very low booster rate especially in the elderly and i think the mucosal vaccines are not rolled out enough, the thing is, masks, n95s masks are still used in china and then edit infection as a variant diagnostic and china isjust not using the ventilation air
