craig: teddy roosevelt. i don't know that i ever crunched the numbers specifically, but it can't imagine anybody other than teddy roosevelt did it. it was well over 30. you have to define whether a pamphlet is a book or a collection of speeches. i feel confident it was teddy roosevelt. if he were here, he would be announcing that fact. host: who was the most gifted presidential writer? craig: it was probably lincoln. just in his style of his speeches and books. there are also some surprising presidents. calvin coolidge, maybe even history fans don't have his presidency at the front of their mind. he was such a talented writer. i found a new york times article where they said that calvin coolidge, and this was during his presidency, calvin coolidge is the best literary president since lincoln. he wrote a thank you letter to that author because it mattered to him. host: you talk about presidential reading as well. which among the presidents were the most voracious readers? craig: for a lot of them, books helpe

>>> good friday morning, craig melvin here. we're down to the wire, time running out for lawmakers to avoid another government shutdown. we're just one week out from christmas. more than 7 million americans could lose emergency benefits next week. millions more the following week. meanwhile, on the medical front, the food and drug administration is on the verge of green lighting a second vaccine. a key advisory panel voted 20-0 to recommend emergency use of moderna's vaccine. this is what dr. anthony fauci said on the "today" show about the next next steps. >> we'll likely see shots in the arm by early next week. i would hope monday or tuesday. very soon. literally within a few days. >> here are the facts on the pandemic at this hour. once the bs fda gives the okay, nearly 6 million doses of moderna's vaccine will ship nationwide. this morning, vice president mike pence becoming the highest profile member so far of our government to get that vaccine publicly. second lady karen pence and surgeon general jerome adams joining the

craig, there you have it. there have been some folks that we've seen here who have tried to wait for a little while and ultimately gotten out of line because they had somewhere where they had to be. a lot of people are waiting an hour and a half, two hours, to make sure their votes are heard in this crucial senate runoff race. >> we're taking a look at some of the numbers there from early voting in georgia. it would seem as if folks are turning out in droves. i know a lot of folks see lines like that and think, wow, this is great. so many people are wanting to participate in democracy, even in a special election. other folks look at a line like that, and you've got to think, my god, in 2020, people shouldn't have to wait 2 1/2, three hours to cast a ballot. it's a shame. priscilla thompson, thank you for that report in georgia. >>> new hope for a new year as millions of americans start to receive the coronavirus vaccine. but the number, not even close to the total that the federal government promised would be

craig? >> monica, president trump, again, saying he wants the american people to get the $2,000 checks instead of the $600 checks originally agreed upon. do we know at this point if there is anyone from his administration actively arm twisting behind the scenes trying to convince republicans in the senate to vote yes? is this a public stance or something they are putting muscle behind to get it done or do we know? >> it's certainly a public posture from the president and the only way we know that is from social media where he is continuing to apply this political pressure to republicans, which in the past we've seen during his presidency has actually usually worked. will it in this case? that remains to be seen but some of the people closest to him and his administration who would normally be doing that arm twisting aren't in washington d.c. vice president mike pence is in vail, colorado and the treasury secretary steven mnuchin is vacationing in mexico. we understand from the treasury depar

>> so two things, craig. first is that we have made years of investments into new technologies like the mrna technology that we were able to use. so it just goes to the power of investing in science. we often don't know how it's going going to pay off. on this specific vaccine, we had other experience with other coronaviruses, sars -- the 2003 sars outbreak. we got lucky that we knew a lot about this virus when we first discovered it. we had a close cousin that we knew well. it seems for the future we have to keep investing in science and in studying viruses. when the next outbreak hits, we want to be as prepared as we ended up being for this one. >> a million passengers went through tsa every day for the past three days. it would seem as if there are a slew of folks watching and listening who have all but said to hell with the cdc's recommendations about not traveling, they've decided they will be traveling for christmas. what would your message be for those folks, dr. jha? >> my message is, we're so close t

craig: we call them always responders. if you think of what truck drivers did back in march when covid became an element in our economy, in early march, the trucking community, the drivers were delivering groceries, personal protection equipment, medical supplies, and they were having to respond to that with unprecedented volume at the time. they were on the front lines putting themselves in harm's way , owing to places that other people didn't want to go to come a place that were being shut down. if you are member back in early march, particularly in places like new york, everyone didn't really have a sense of how this virus was transmitted. people really concerned about touching things. drivers were willing to put themselves in harms way to deliver the goods that were needed. so they are the first responders. they are always responding to the issues. if you look at what the impact has been from them personally, they have benefited from the economic surge of demand as consumers have shifted to e-commerce and consuming har

earlier this hour we talked to costco's ceo craig jelineck. here's his view whether the company can continue to grow sales after the vaccine. >> comps are going to be difficult for anybody to do. i think as long as the economy stays relatively healthy that we will continue to grow our business as other retailers will. it's still important to get people physically in the stores. i still think brick and mortar is not going to go away. and we want to continue to get people in the stores. and there is no better way to do it than $1.50 hot dog and a rotisserie chicken. >> all right, thanks to the costco ceo, called me ma'am. lindsey, how do you play these kinds of stocks which have had remarkable runs? costco really had it before the pandemic, but it has proven to be an essential retailer with double digit sales growth during the pandemic. what happens on the other side? how do you look at some of these winners? >> i mean i think you have to look at a couple things and not -- you have to look at the retail space, who has been market share gainers o
