virtually, don t go to an er, they re too full. seek professional help or just stay home. i m so sorry, that was my phone, my bad. dr. kavita patel that was a betty white clip dr. kavita patel, thank you very much for joining and you say trying to sort out the cdc stuff, because i know there are a lot of jokes out there, but there is data behind these decisions. it s not all just business decisions. that s right. and remember, it s not march 2020, we have vaccines, we have boosters, we have antivirals, not in enough supply. we have masks. we have a way to work with this. dr. kavita patel, thank you so much for working with us. president biden warned vladimir putin yesterday again that the u.s. would respond if russia takes action against ukraine. plus the january 6th committee wants the supreme court to be involved in the fight over white house documents. why the timing is telling. and the orange bowl is tonight. how is it being kept safe?
what is the likelihood that the supreme court s going to want to get involved quickly? so congress has really given the supreme court an opportunity here, katy, because this is a former president who has all too often traded in the delay game as a way of sort of bending the legal system to his purposes. really he s been able to operate above and outside of the law because he s been willing to use legal process in a way that few people are. the supreme court has a moment here where they can say, enough, you too fall within the precepts of the law. and they would do that simply by hearing this petition at the earliest moment possible and deciding they will permit the lower court s opinion to stay in place. there is really good reason for them to do that. and i suspect that they will. it is just simply a matter of common sense. sometimes we have to back up a little bit and quit being so far inside of the forest that all that we re seeing is the forest floor. we re a country that elects
the house committee investigating january 6th has now asked the supreme court to reject donald trump s request to shield his white house and his white house records from investigators. the documents include communication records between the white house and the doj leading up to the insurrection. trump says those documents are protected against executive privilege, although the current president has denied that executive privilege and so have the lower courts. joining me now is nbc news capitol hill correspondent ali vitali and former u.s. attorney joyce vance, a professor at the university of alabama school of law and an msnbc legal analyst. so ali vitali, the january 6th committee wants these records and they want them as quickly as possible. is there something going on in terms of this timing? speed is the name of the game here. they want these documents as quickly as they can get them.
conversation. but happy new year to you guys. the january 6th committee told the supreme court it needs donald trump s white house documents, and it needs them fast. why? and a covid surge, and a crowd in the tens of thousands of the orange bowl is tonight. [coughing] birds flyin high, you know how i feel. breeze driftin on by. if you ve been playing down your copd,. it s a new dawn, it s a new day,. .it s time to make a stand. start a new day with trelegy. .and i m feelin good. no once-daily copd medicine. has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy. with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy helps people breathe easier and improves lung function. it also helps prevent future flare-ups. trelegy won t replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia,
he or she doesn t retain any residual power, we re not a monarchy. if trump were permitted to gainsay that, there would be an incredible erosion of the power of the presidency. that s the opportunity that the congress has offered to the supreme court, for them to go ahead and act quickly. let s play devil s advocate, joyce. what argument could the supreme court use to grant donald trump s request not to release those records? i think it s less likely that they would outright grant that request and block release than that they might decide that they would hear the case. you know, the real options here are procedural. either saying, no, this case is done, the lower courts ruling
