doctor roger kline, the expert institute policy advisor, doctor, great to have you back. what you make of this recommendation, maybe a booster shot within 12 months, there's talk as well of maybe treating it as we treat the flu, and annual vaccine shot, what you make of all that? >> we don't know yet and that is the real answer. up to six months the vaccines look very effective. we don't know for sure whether or not the buyers will hang around. openly it won't but if it does, we are going to maintain a level of residual immunity and that's going to happen. the real question is, will it

at the end of all these exchanges, roger stone tells greenberg the same thing. you know i still can't figure out is why matt gaetz would not help me. greenberg says "wow, he would not help." late march, matt gaetz, his campaign pays roger stone's company for strategic consultant. less than a week later we have the first "new york times" report and gaetz is ready to counter punch. >> it is really interesting context here. roger stone told our chris cuomo that he didn't help and never took any money from anybody or does not raecall any letter. what's your response from these denials from stone? you had a lot of specifics that would seem, obviously would make all the things i listed false. >> well, if you look at what stone says, they're narrow denials. i don't think he actually denied anything in the report. he has not said these text messages don't exist, they were out of context and there is no way they can no it because we have shown him all the texts we have. his denials were specific. i would like to point out that he seems to confirm some key elements here.

, michael steele, having worked in the republican world, would you ever give something like that to roger stone? >> no! you don't do stuff like that! but look, this gaetz stuff is messy. and a lot of republicans, there's a lot of splatter that's going to come up on this thing, because, you know, as this story line unfolds and these confessions start coming out, where do you go as a republican? and this guy is supposed to go on a road show with marjorie taylor greene to go after rinos. well, y'all better sit your behinds back at home and figure out how to pay your legal bills, because you're going to have a lot of them -- oh, that's why they're going on the road show. >> it's like their version of -- it's like rine and stimpy, but on the road. chuck rosenberg and michael steele, thank you both very much. >>> up next on "the reidout," former secretary of state luc hillary clinton joins me to talk about president biden's first hundred days. the legal jeopardy facing her former political rival, one rudy giuliani. >>> plus, the travesty of democracy taking place in arizona. more than five mont

>> roger stone, the self-described dirty trickster, the master of the dark arts. this is who you go to when you can't go through the proper channels, especially on the far right. he reminds me of the wolf from the movie pulp fiction, not the good wolf from "the situation room." he knows that you do not need a confession to get a pardon, especially not under the trump administration. yet he demanded one from greenberg. i think the reason why he did was that stone goes in and out of trouble a lot, and this is maybe some leverage he could use in the future, just something he would have handy in case the biden justice department decided to investigate and prosecute stone for something. he could say, look, i've got information on a sitting member of congress. a bigger question is why greenberg would send it to stone. i guess he wanted to pressure stone, trump and gaetz to give him a pardon, because he thought gaetz was their buddy. >> thank you for joining us. >>> coming up, as crematoriums overflow in india right now, the biden administration is about to crack down on

yet, which is that according to this, a sex crime pardon goes for about a quarter million as far as roger stone considered it, and he's not nobody. he's one of donald trump's closest longest confidants who himself ended up getting a pardon. these are people in a position to know. now, i want to make sure before i go to michelle that we are, as part of our reporting, obligated to read this statement. this is new from mr. stone. quote, i made no effort whatsoever to secure a pardon for mr. greenberg. i took not a dime from him or anyone else seeking a pardon. i have seen no substantiation or actual proof of wild accusations he has made against congressman gaetz. desperate men often tell lies in an effort to lessen the penalties against themselves, end quote. michelle, our standards department, which has riggously gone over that department requires that defense from mr. stone. your view on all of the above and what sounds like a potential pardon scandal? >> well, i don't know. i am not a lawyer. i have no idea if it's a crime to try to sell a pardon if you don't do it. but i do -- because it

under indictment himself at the time and the messaged screenshots he showed he offered trump confidant roger stone, he is now involved in this, $250,000 for help obtaining a pardon in the last months of president trump's term. stone tells cnn he never took money from greenberg, he doesn't recall any letter and he never heard of greenberg implicating gaetz in this. >> a spokesperson for gaetz told cnn in a statement last night, congressman gaetz has never paid for sex nor has he had sex with a 17-year-old as an adult. "politico" has reported mr. greenberg's threats to make false accusations against others and while the daily beast story obtains confessions from mr. greenberg it does not add anything of substance and no evidence for the wild and false claims about representative gaetz. in fact, the story goes some way to showing how representative gaetz was long out of touch with mr. greenberg and had no interest involving himself in mr. greenberg's affairs. greenberg has been cooperating with investigators since last year. his attorney declined to comment. >> more to come on that for sure i'm

shabnam does not share roger's vision of their future together as a happy family. i love whatever. it's all well and good that he wants me to give up prostitution and being a devotee. but who will look after my mother or ensure the future of my children and how much money can he save and give them. 20 euros a month won't be enough if i'm to marry off my daughters animal lover number. one positive aspect of their lives is the school which shabnam on her daughters all attend school for sex workers and their families. it was set up a few years ago by deepak and on our colleague. they teach reading and writing to adults and children several times a week for free yes. the women here may have been betrayed by their parents but they clearly want their children to lead happier and more fulfilled lives. there. then. the sex workers have spent their entire lives here we want to change that for their sons and daughters. they should be successful and when they're big be able to look after their mothers one. minute. that's what sapna is determined to do she also has her future mapped out. that

the letter was an attempt to get a presidential pardon from trump with the help of roger stone. i've got to say all this stuff so we can be responsible here. we have reached out to greenberg's attorney. he said no comment, siting attorney-client privilege. this is how matt gaetz's spokesperson responded. congressman gaetz has never paid for sex, nor has he had sex with a 17-year-old as an adult. congressman gaetz has had no role in advocating for or against a pardon for greenberg and doubts such a pardon has ever even -- was ever even considered. okay. so this is getting worse and worse. how much longer can the gop stay silent about this, amanda? >> well, i think they're going to stay quiet about it and just let justice run its course. but the element of the story that i think is particularly interesting, if true, is the fact that roger stone was apparently selling pardons after he, himself, got a commutation and a pardon. the fact that these people seem to have no reticence about their actions, and if it is true that greenberg was giving $250,000 in bitcoin to try to get that p

and sought the assistance of roger stone. cnn hasn't seen the letter. cannot confirm the details in "the daily beast's" story. okay? so, greenberg's attorney telling cnn, no comment. and we just got this statement, from the congressman's spokesperson. and it says, congressman gaetz has never paid for sex, nor has he had sex with a 17-year-old as an adult. "politico" has reported mr. greenberg's threat to make false accusations against others. and while "the daily beast's" story contains a lot of confessions from mr. greenberg, it does not add anything of substance, and certainly no evidence for the wild and false claims about rep gaetz. in fact, the story goes some way to showing how rep gaetz was long out of touch with mr. greenberg. and had no interest in involving himself in mr. greenberg's affairs. that is the end of the statement. i have been waiting to talk to this man about this. it's matthew dowd. the former chief strategist for president george w. bush and founder of country over party. thank you, sir. good evening to you. this shocking report

and we got a match so we know joel greenberg wrote that letter. >> and do you know that it reached roger stone? >> so the communications that we have indicate that they were sent. they were pretty in explicit detail we know that this document was described and so, yes, that does seem to be the case. but again, this letter is an extremely long-and-detailed confession letter, essentially, that goes into explicit detail about matt gaetz, their friendship, and what they did together. >> roger stone tells me, he doesn't buy this. he didn't help. he never took money from anybody. he doesn't recall any letter. and he never has heard of greenberg implicating gaetz. what do you make of that? >> i would strongly advise all of your viewers to check out the story that my partner on this story, roger, and i have just published on "the daily beast." it goes into explicit detail through all of that. we have got the receipts. we have got images, we have got conversations. >> so now, the big question becomes is greenberg to be believed? whoever he was soliciting, whether it was stone or anyone else, what

the element of the story i think is interesting, if true is the fact that roger stone was apparently selling pardons after he, himself, got a pardon. the fact the people seem to have no reticence about their actions. if it is true that greenberg was fitting 250 dollars in bit coin to get that pardon there is questions for white staffers that go far beyond roger stone there. >> so listen. nia, cnn has not confirmed the letter and cannot confirm the details in the daily beast stories. take a listen to this and we will talk about it, okay? >> let me tell you. this letter is pretty explicit. it states very clearly that joel greenberg got paid by matt gaetz to acquire young women for sex and that they had sex with a teen. this is the first time that we are seeing it word for word explained what exactly they did and the thing that really jumps out at me at this letter is the idea he goes, i did see the acts occur first-hand. this is going to be pivotal for prosecutors as they go after matt gaetz. >> so, listen. don't get mad at me about this question, nia, especially with the current state
