I come here without explanation or solutions. Not trying to lecture but talking about tho
We ve got to got additional reporting. Government s response. Following the president s federal vaccine mandate announcement, many are asking about exemptions. We are going to take a closer look and track what appears to be a growing trend. A player gives a religious exemption but puts the employee on unpaid leave. It s september 11th on the east coast. 20 years since the terrorist attacks in new york. At the pentagon, and at shanksville, pennsylvania, day that forever change our country. We are going to speak to those honoring the victims tonight. We begin with a disappointed president biden, targeting republican governors telling them if they plan to resist his federal vaccine mandate to have at it. The theory as you point out is building unabated over yesterday s announcement by the administration that it intends to ratchet up the pressure on the unvaccinated to go out and get the jab. However, a growing number of g. O. P. Governors are ratcheting up a pressure campaign of their own

It is as weighty and terrible lately, still, look at this amid everything at some very important level, this is good. Specifically this is a good girl named cobra because why not? a dog looking for covid19, is it even possible? evidentially the it is, now you can find them at miami airport four dogs detecting covid19. This is cobra, one of the dogs trained to detect the virus. Watch how she sits after she smells the inside of a mask that has the activated virus in it. Then watch how she keeps walking when she smells the mask of someone who is not infected. The dogs are 97% accurate. It s the same as a pcr test. It s a great thing.

Then the following summer, july 1965, lbj actually went out on the road this time for an unusual signing ceremony. He went to missouri to president truman s presidential library to sign into law the bill that created medicare and medicaid. He went to truman s library because it was truman who proposed the u. S.
