I forget our jurisdiction in the discussion. We got out of those chairs 12 hours later. We got out of those chairs somewhere around 7 00 in the morning because that of course was 2000 and when we get out of the chairs at 7 00 in the morning it was not over. It went on in court for quite a while over florida, florida, flor...

Minute. This morning, more than 79,000 people are waking up in the hospital. 10,000 were admitted in the past week. Across the country, some people are again waiting hours to get tested. Look at this line in maryland. And still, even in the face of this growing crisis, the outgoing Trump Administration is prohibiting Health Officials from communicating with president elect biden. Something biden warns could delay Vaccine Distribution by weeks if not months. And what does the defeat t president h...

In the last hour joe biden spoke about what hes hearing about the turnout so far. What im ...
