howard markel. tracy is joining us from sugarland, texas. dr. markel: i've actually heard of sugarland. caller: i have three things i want to say. number one, the reason some people are hesitant to take the vaccine is because remember the democrats and our vice president pushed the idea that they weren't going to be effective and you shouldn't take them because donald trump had something to do with it. that's one people people might want to be not taking it. i take offense to the way you talk about republicans. because i'm a republican. dr. markel: i didn't speak about republicans ma'am i spoke about two individuals. they are acting like fools. i will say this on area. the stuff they are saying is not only anti-science and anti-health. they are actually harming people by spreading nonsense. it is made by pfizer. they don't care who is president as long as it makes money. big pharma but never do that, but they do. stop making up these complicit, per crazy plots that people are trying to kill other people with the disease. epidemics and pandemics

and now howard, to you. capturing some the things we've heard from your fellow panel participants here, moving people along with the vaccine acceptance contain ammo which we a lot of people have already moved. the ones who may be left in a month or so going to be ones who've t the already moved out of that movable middle and the role in particular of primary care clinicians as the trusted messengers. they have the trust of patients and others in the community. let's talk a bit from your perspective about recommendations to the task force around primary care in particular. not all doctors were informed as they should be. gives that what needs to be done make sure their well-informed and well-equipped on the continuum lisa just describe its back thank you it's a pleasure in addressing some of those issues. you wouldn't believe the majority of primary care providers are well informed and hope to seek the information they need. the minority of individuals in any particular profession who do not adhere to the hig

but the medical that i got for that was ridiculous current were losing can let's go tol howard and west virginia republican. >> i yes, ma'am. as listening this morning i don't want to say about the insurance. are they going to do away with personal injury care? the medicare and medicaid where to do it they had her do have other things he'll do away with? thank you. >> guest: well, i certainly don't believe congress will do with medicaid medicare. those are here to stay. i also do not see congress doing away with employer-based. what they might do is try to ban the ability of people to buy into a government run program. nobody would have to buy into that program. if people are comfortable with their employer based i would think they would still be able to have it. although i do wonder if over time there were a public option, if more and more companies might try to steer their employees into it. i wonder about the cost of healthcare is a high cost not only for individuals, but also for companies who provide healthcare to their employees. >> i was just going to ask, what if companies do aw

they hatch a scheme with howard baker who was the republican minority leader of the senate. carter empowered him. he revolutionized the vice presidency. they call him to baker's office. they put a call into the president. senator, i would so much like your wife's council on foreign policy if you could come over to the white house and see me, i would really appreciate it. carter says, you know, i would really appreciate your support on the panama canal. he leaves a book with him that he had written earlier on semantics. this had to be one of the most boring books ever written. jimmy carter is the only american president except for maybe jefferson who would actually read the book. quizzing him on it to see whether he has read it. carter passes the test and talks about semantics. one more thing he wants, he says, mr. president, i would like to come over and give you my wise counsel on foreign policy every two weeks. this, i thought was brilliant. i cannot possibly limited to only two weeks. i would not want to lock ourselves into that schedule. he goes, that sounds good. he vot

kid about that day and we went to church, she was so excited, she and family friend they got to go to howard johnson and had hot chocolate. it had just arrived with whip creme and she could smell it and is stirring it to cool it off and heard something crackling on the radio and all of the adults in the room got nervous and starting standing up and putting coats on. she remember her mother grabbing her by the wrists, we have to go. the world changed in an instant but didn't know what was going on. all of the young men that they knew including harry, he would go a couple of later because he went to the pacific and changed their lives forever. >> harry's uncle, that's your grandfather. ty maps the battle in the basement. tell me about that and how he carefully looked at the newspapers and where is harry now. >> all of the perfectly pressed newspapers and he kept the big headlines from all of the major battles and would go through them all and they were these maps. he had them on a wall and had pins and he did not want harry to go. he felt strongly that the war was going to be ending fairly soo

she says i hate -- >> sandra adele. >> howard university. all right. >> in the house. >> she says i hate to teach the man who cried i am because of the negative look at women. any suggestions or strategies? >> i'm glad she brought that up. >> i hesitate to teach. >> yes, hesitate. >> right. >> she asked you mary helen but do you want into respond. >> she didn't ask me. she asked the people who are talking about john a. williams. >> think there's reckoning to be had. there's no way around you had a lot of sexist portrayal of women in a whole generation of writers and that was part of the a number of things but in the response, this part of response that their ohno progression and degradation but i don't think you can sugar coat it. you have to call the sexist and negative portrayals what they are, and all i can say is you do have for them -- if i look at a character like laura lee youngblood we see a person who is not in that -- cast in that vein, so i understand the hesitancy. it is what it is. but i think there's another side of that. i thi

appropriate at least from my perspective, someone who stepped out of the academic realm, comes from jennifer howard, reminds me of many conversations and it is important to ask, what wisdom, would you share with budding authors as they work on learning history, quite a substantial book about the work of learning history in a world ripe with media distraction and demand for the entertainment factor. >> that is a great question. >> passing the torch to you. >> 5 or 6 years to write and for historian to get a book out, and - compared to that what i would say is the work that had to go before i could write this book one of the reasons i could write this book is the papers of john c calhoun have been compiled and published over 50 some years by the university of south carolina press, multiple different editors died while they were compiling these things so that we would have this really complete incredible record of the past and our society today is not geared to appreciate that kind of work but it is absolutely essential to preserving and understanding our world, i took 5 or 6 years to write a book, th

in like michael howard maintained at one point. >> i am very sympathetic with that point of view but if you try to get the essence we all have different definitions but i'm trying to distinguish between random violence or a canadian hockey game. this is an organized violence. what i'm trying to get at that organize groups who make war have some sort of thing that keeps them together or a goal and there is a blurred line between large-scale gains to make money as a crime that may have more political preferences. we saw the same in northern ireland with a hard man on both sides slipped over into criminal activities that had a larger goal in mind. so the notion that you try to do something with whatever force you have not just to have more illicit goods. >> did you acknowledge there is some historical factors demography or geography or technology in those epidemics that are not altered or transformed in decision-making? but you write so powerfully about the historic and cultural consequences of war if they defeated the greeks supposed charles had been defeated if the ottomans had succes

we went to church afterwords we were so excited they got to go to howard johnson's and have hot chocolate. we were sitting in the booth it just arrived with whip cream. she was stirring it to cool it off and she heard something crackling on the radio that all the adults in the room got nervous and started to stand up and put on their coats. we have to go. we have to go all hell is breaking loose. she didn't know what was going on that she remember that moment for the rest of her life. that changed everything because all the young men that they knew including harry would go a couple years later it change their lives forever >> great to see you again. i would just tell people my nickname from college we will keep this very informal i

>> howard fisher with capital media service, your line is open. thank you, appreciate you guys taking the calls and i know a lot of us are waiting for data to be posted. like all of us, i need to be parochial. arizona was one of the fastest growing states historically yet we didn't gain an anticipated seat. how far off were we in terms of having that 767,000 or whatever it was to get a 10th seat? >> thanks for that question. i'll let demo speak to that. that line of questioning about your state. >> for arizona they were ranking number 440, as far as the states that were just below the cut-off to receive one more seat than they would have. i don't have the numbers in front of me for all of those lower states as far as how much they would need to-- >> okay, so essentially we weren't as close as ohio and new york, it wasn't a question we were just below the line. we just didn't get there? >> correct. >> okay. great and now when we finally get this posted, i keep hitting refresh on the-- on what's supposed to be the kit, will it have the specifics in

officer evans can never be repaid, and the same is true for capitol police officers brian sicknick, howard lebanonen goode, jason chestnut and officer evans. our grat -- gratitude for their sacrifice cannot be captured by words. this tuesday, officer evans will lie in honor in the rotunda where those he died to protect can pass by and pay their respects. every day it is incumbent for those of us who work in this building to remember this brave officer and thank him and the u.s. men and women of the u.s. capitol police who have given so much to keep us safe. and now, madam president, i ask to make the next statement, that it be placed in a separate part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: madam president, on january 8, i think that most americans, most of the world, really, was still deeply shaken by what happened in this building on january 6 when the mob broke in. january 6 was an assault on american democracy. it was an armed insurrection, not just against this building but against the constitution and the government of the united states of america. the v

i the va in washington, my wife at johns hopkins in howard county and we had had no ill effects other than maybe a sore arm for a couple ofdays . we've been feeling very good ever since and again, i just want to reach out to mace and pfizer for creating a comprehensive vaccine in such a short period of time. i was also at the vaccine institute soagain , i feel very fortunate for getting the vaccine. >> thank you for callingon the friends and family line . let me move on to maureen joining us inillinois, thank you for waiting . >> hello doctor rothenberg. i have a question. on 19 march i had my first moderna shot and then do to get another one. after two days i was writing how nothing happened all of a sudden i had chills so bad i couldn't get to go to the bathroom and i got sick for about a day or two and i started feeling better so that was good of the problem is i have ct scan done last week and showed lumps under my nose under my armpits so the doctor was real started that i should hurry and get a mammogram. then maybe a biopsy right away then i found out that this can possibly cau

he is the recipient of the national book award pen award the scrips howard worried. he is joined by mike rezendes. he is with the global discretion team at the "associated press." and previously worked for the boston globe spotlight team and shared a pulitzer prize for revealing the coverup of sexual abuse any catholic church. mike has been a pulitzer prize finalist twice. recently he posted an article exposing the church for taking ppe aid during covid-19 while sitting 0 billions. they're discussing the truth at the heart of the lie. james looks at him, his faith and the catholic church itself. he argued that a male supremacist clericalism is the root cause and the ongoing enabler of the sexual abuse crisis. this book is both an exposure of the problem and a call for the much needed reform. i'll leave you with this quote from city green green. this book written from a deep personal experience takes us to the heart of one of the great institutional and existential crisis of our time and on that note of praise i'll turn this over to our speakers, jim and make, thank y

the fact is previous nominees like kyle duncan, howard nielsen, mike park and countless others were opposed by democrats because of the clients that they represented. at thepr same time, there is a growing hostility to the fair representation on the left with student radicals saying quote on quote not everyone deserves representation. and liberal activists seeking to penalize law firms representing clients with wrong positions, so-called wrong positions on the social or political issues. as a wise man said recently, it can't be one set of rules for republicans and another for democrats. so i plan to go off of the records including legal advocates on behalf of clients. they demand justice and it seems to be in charge of the judicial selections in this administration. since you can tell what kind of judge someone will be by their clients, they strongly support judge jackson because their time as a federal defender were apparently caused them to pursue social justice rather than follow the law. and of course i hope not, and that is not an accusatory statement, but it does take off on some very
