The federal government has reportedly approved Facebook for hundreds of new patents over the last

few months for augmented and virtual reality technology they've created. It's great for escaping

this hellish actual reality, which they also created. According to a new survey, just 9% of

Americans said that the Biden administration is doing a great job handling the Omicron coronavirus strain. I assume it's the same 9% of Americans said that the Biden administration is doing a great job handling

the Amicron coronavirus strain. I assume it's the same 9% who don't currently have it.

Good morning and welcome to Morning, Joe. It is Wednesday, January 12th. Good to have you all

I travel with my copy. I do too. Me too. You guys, you know those electronic books. You can carry those in your iPad if you want. You can get that. No, I like nothing. Well, it's better advertising if they have the book is it. Well, for traveling. Will I was talking about traveling with it? I want me to hold this up, or do you want me to hold that up?

I mean, that's better.

Oh, my God. Okay. The book is... Will I was talking about traveling with it. Do you like me to hold this up or do you want me to hold that up?

I mean, that's better.

Oh, my God.

Okay.
