It’s hard to believe there is a silver lining when it comes to the new Omicron variant, but @EricTopol stopped by @newabnormalpod to explain the pros and cons—and deets about the Pfizer COVID pills to come.

“Omicron has a harder time infecting the lung cells, which is really good. There are some features of the virus that are certainly to our benefit, but it doesn’t mean it’s benign because we’ve seen deaths,” Topol tells host @mollyjongfast.

While focusing on boosting the already-vaccinated seems to be a way to stop the spread, @EricTopol says the real Hail Mary will come from Pfizer’s five-day pill pack that’s set to release by the end of the year.

Co-host @andylevy and @mollyjongfast also discuss how Sen. Joe Manchin has totally played President Biden and Sen. Chuck Schumer, and why he thinks, and we quote: “I’m sorry, Nancy Pelosi, it’s time to go”

Plus, The Daily Beast’s own @ZTPetrizzo talks about all the uncomfortable things going on at Turning Point USA’s America Festival happening right now in Arizona

When Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial opened, one of her defense lawyers declared: "This case is about memory, manipulation, and money."

As the criminal proceedings came to a close, prosecutors seized on the phrase and adopted it as their own. thedailybeast.com/who-is-the-rea…
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe told jurors that Maxwell manipulated underage girls to make them feel special before delivering them to her former boyfriend and "partner in crime," Epstein: "She was a grown woman who knew exactly what she was doing." thedailybeast.com/who-is-the-rea…
The women Epstein and Maxwell exploited carried their disturbing images of the couple’s alleged abuse with them, decades later.

"She caused deep and lasting harm to young girls," Moe said. "It is time to hold her accountable." thedailybeast.com/who-is-the-rea…

When it comes to paying court fees, bail, and fines, poor people almost always pay the price, journalist Tony Messenger tells @MollyJongFast on this bonus episode of The New Abnormal. And, he would know, he wrote a whole book about the topic. thedailybeast.com/why-ending-cas… Image
It may seem obvious, but a lot of people out there, mainly on the right and even in the media, try to push the narrative that getting rid of cash bail will have the states overrun with criminals raping and pillaging—and they’re wrong, says Messenger. thedailybeast.com/why-ending-cas…
Messenger also discusses a study that found people held on cash bail for as little as 24 hours were more likely to commit further crimes than those sent home without cash bail: "So the use of cash bail in those circumstances actually makes us less safe." thedailybeast.com/why-ending-cas…

Ex-CIA officer, QAnon acolyte, 9/11 truther, anti-vaxxer, COVID denier, antisemite, and “Big Lie” proponent Robert David Steele stiffed the crew working his national “Arise USA!” roadshow out of some $50,000 when he suddenly claimed he was out of money. thedailybeast.com/inside-the-dis… Image
According to Steele’s former tour manager, that money was blown on luxury coaches and lavish spreads of Champagne, smoked salmon, and brie that he demanded daily. thedailybeast.com/inside-the-dis… Image
Collecting what they are owed is going to be tough for the crew as Steele died in August from the very virus he claims was a hoax. thedailybeast.com/inside-the-dis… Image

A bombshell was dropped in Monday’s Jan. 6 committee hearing. It was revealed that Donald Trump Jr.—along with Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham—begged White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to get Trump to make a national address and halt the Capitol riot. thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-j…
“He’s got to condemn this shit ASAP,” Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows. “The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.”

That was one text, among several to Meadows, that Rep. Liz Cheney read aloud at the meeting.

Even several Fox News stars texted Meadows to implore the president to act. Trump confidant Sean Hannity texted: “Can he make a statement? Ask people to leave the Capitol.” thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-j…

Thanks to an “alarmed parent,” an alleged school shooting plot hatched by two Pennsylvania teens who had access to guns was narrowly averted, local authorities said. thedailybeast.com/logan-pringle-…
Shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 7, 17-year-old Logan Jack Pringle entered Westmont Hilltop High School through a locked front door, according to a criminal complaint. However, Pringle was barred from the campus by court order since 2018. thedailybeast.com/logan-pringle-…
16-year-old Preston Robert Hinebaugh let Pringle into the school and the two “walked the halls examining cameras and other features of the building,” the complaint alleges. thedailybeast.com/logan-pringle-…

From an outsider’s perspective, David Riemens’ life was going exactly as he had planned—which made his disappearance on Aug. 8, 2012, at the age of 60, all the more surprising to friends and family
trib.al/JWiY2Xr
For six years, Riemens’ friends, family, and investigators were more stumped than enraged about what happened to the “funny and eccentric” guy who had plans to head to Michigan the day he vanished to see friends and family
thedailybeast.com/david-riemens-…
“The longer that time went by, the more we thought that maybe he wasn’t off just doing his own thing,” Wilson County Detective Major Robert Stafford, the lead investigator on this case, told The Daily Beast
