1:17 am
read these two adults share a bank account? >> that is unusual and you have to wonder about what else they share information about, what hunter biden is involved in that the president knows about. sharing bank accounts and one party paying bills and makes you suspicious about the relationship in general. todd: a second email between hunter biden and his business partner, there are a few outstanding bills that need to be paid and i'm not sure which ones are a priority and which ones get paid out of my account and which should be put on hold out of the wilmington trust social security check account. some experts believe this could in snare president biden in an investigation. do you agree and if so what does this mean for president biden?

>> it could embroil the president in an fbi investigation of hunter in any form because of the commingling of money through the joint account and if the fbi is investigating hunter for his past activities foreign dealings then joe's they will come up as they appear to in an email form for other types of relationships so it just adds to the potential for conflict of interest in these relationships in the public's right to know what is going on as affects of the transactions hunter is involved in such as his artwork that is getting a lot of coverage. todd: have a president do anything to quash this investigation? this happened before president biden was in the white house, executive privilege doesn't attach, what could president biden due to and on this?
1:19 am
>> he should have simply recused himself from any discussion of these types of issues around the mistakes he made to promote hunter's book when it first came out. that adds to the curiosity of the relationship and he really did not be transparent with what was going on and why it was going out and what his role was in hunter's activities. todd: let's not forget hunter's art. here is jen psaki when pressed about it. >> we still do not know it will not know who purchases any paintings, the president remains proud of his son. todd: putting aside the attitude toward the reporter in question
1:20 am
went on after that, i recognize the buyers in the potential buyers at the gallery we showed on air. what happened to this veil of secrecy? >> it is interesting. it seems as though the white house feels by not devolving names of the art buyers somehow they are protecting the ethics of the situation and the reverse is true because the public has a right to know who is buying this art, what they are paying, whether there is any relationship between these folks and the president. you could have a lobbyist buying the artwork. it is a potential conflict of interest, what do they expect in return, the optics are very bad this. information is withheld rather than disclose and the more the
1:21 am
public knows, the better. we have a right to know the purchases of the artwork and anything related to the transaction. it is another step in the events in relationship between hunter and finances. todd: can anything be done about this or do we have to sit back and watch, the exact opposite playing in front of our very eyes. 45 seconds. >> pressure on the president and media to continue to follow the story so that it becomes more public, more transparent and

insults instead of actual facts? jillian: hospitals fearing the worst because biden vaccine mandates, they expect the mass exodus of workers and hospitals refusing to enforce the mandate. todd: our next guest says the hospital lost 18% of nurses during the pandemic and cannot afford to lose more. the ceo of scotland county hospital, doctor randy, thanks for being here. is the one who understands the average flow of staffing levels why do you have that warning for the white house? >> it is a warning that if we lose more staff we won't be able to deliver great care people become accustomed to. we lost already many of our staff due to the emotional consequences of the covid 19 crisis and on top of this many
1:29 am
have expressed their sincere desire to find another industry other than get the vaccine. this could be a crushing blow to our ability to deliver care to our community. jillian: i wonder if you have employees of other hospital systems that are enforcing the vaccine mandate, employees who don't want to get the vaccine, are they coming to your hospital? could that be something that does benefit you. >> before president biden made his announcement a few weeks ago we made an outreach to the region and nurses say come over, we are not going to invoke the vaccine mandate but we are sure it will become something cms will release some rules regarding that. it will be a living -- level playing field and we will follow the rules because it will apparently be a condition of us participating in medicare and medicaid and to lose the 70% of revenue, 70% of patients have those insurances would be a
1:30 am
crushing blow. we will abide by the rules but not until they are invoked on us. todd: you mentioned in your first answer the ability to provide care but i want to drill down more into specifics. what happens to your ability to provide healthcare when the mandate goes into effect? >> we've seen an example of that when the governor invoked an obstetric unit that closed down and suspended temporarily. the delta surgical we had to go on diversion a few times that because of lack of ventilators but lack of staff. we already lost folks due to the emotional toll of the covid 19 pandemic. if we lose a few more due to resignations, lab techs or others, it will erode our ability and we will turn people away because we won't have staff to deliver the care.
1:31 am
jillian: 62.4% of hospital staff are vaccinated. did that number surprise you one way or the other? >> it doesn't surprise me. we had healthcare workers across the nation declined to get the vaccine. i am an obstetrician and have a lot of young -- comprise a lot of the healthcare workforce with the safety of the vaccine in terms of reproductive futures so i understand that i disagree with it and we've been vocal and assertive and a lot of education in the community and internally with staff to encourage people to get the vaccine. my daughter got the vaccine during her third trimester in february. very pro-vaccine. we have disagreements about it.
1:32 am
medical staff, the administration had been very encouraging but we recognize people have autonomy and it is a free country, we have choice to do to your body what you like and we respect people. todd: any big take aways what this entire episode means for the future of healthcare specifically the government telling you what you can or can't do? >> it started with the electronic medical record, top-down regulations and burdensome regulations on healthcare workers increasingly taking patients away from their caregivers and threaten the healthcare industry. we see people retire early. the workforce shortage existed before the pandemic. this vaccine mandate will only threaten the workforce shortage. jillian: thank you for coming on this morning and keep us updated.
