she along with abbot and desantis mean freedom to die. south dakota has seen massive surge. cases have nearly quinn the upper led. she's declared war not on the virus but on president biden over vaccine mandates that he hasn't implemented. she tweeted she would take every action available under the law to protect south dakotans from the federal government. does that mean that south dakotans shouldn't use the highways? she's staked her political ambitions on being the governor of yolo when it comes to covid last month she said she would not step up efforts because her messaging has reached saturation level. joining me now is professor at the center for policy reserge and emergency medicine and health and science university and charlie sykes. a saturation point in messaging. sounds like she's not going to talk about getting vaccinated. do you think that from a medical point of view is good public policy? >> it's really painful to hear that from where i stand because like in many other states we're struggling here to just figure out who we let in next off a very long waiting li

you are seeing the narratives coming together and it is being driven by desantis and abbot.f the states. leaders of the country you have national security officials warning about this. doctors have to get added security. it is a matter of cultural rage. have you experienced that? >> joy, yes, i have. between some of the messages that i have received on social media, to my email. i even have patients calling in my office threatening me. and this is literally insane. i have a office in miami and plenty of patients who are trump supporters. and they know me. they know my heart. they know that i will bend over backwards to do whatever it takes to make sure that their health is protected and improved. to attack me for following my mandate when people are ignoring measures that will protect them from dying in order to attack me. as someone that practices medicine for the love of it and know i am a servant. to be attacked for that is, putting it lightly, a slap in the face. >> it is despicable. there has been debate if donald trump who is not reinstated as president today was to sa

>> court of appeals denied governor abbot's request to stay the order.have masks on people children and school and people are safer here because of that. >> is it a shortage of personnel or a shortage of beds? i explained the controversy to a limited extent in introducing you? >> there's no controversy at all. when we talk about beds and medical parlance, we're talking about the human beings and the equipment it takes to staff an icu bed. the state health department is correct. it is a shortage of personnel caused by the governor stopping the contract for temporary personnel that was greatly supplementing our hospitals. when they left, some of their friends went with head hunters for the same firms to go to other states and still more people took early retirement. right now we have less personnel to patient ratio than we ever had before. there's less people in the hospital now than at the height of covid. there's less doctors and nurses and respiratory therapists and every other type of help needed than we had before given that number. that ratio is off.

governor greg abbot refuses to make the schools mandate, as cases rise among the unvaccinated.tro brothers, msnbc political analyst and julian castro and texas congressman, joaquin castro. it is great to see you. start with the doj's decision for its prove to restrict transportation of migrants. the governor now using migrants as a political tool to shift the blame for the surge in new covid cases and why this is particularly alarming is because it comes two years after the gunman fueled by anti-immigrant rhetoric from president trump killed 23 people at an el paso walmart. does the governor understand the harm he can cause by his words and actions. >> governor abbott knows exactly when he's doing. he's putting a target on backs of brown-skinned imgrants and he's scared of losing his republican primary and he's using everything he can to play to his base and he's issued an executive order encouraging law enforcement to basically stop anybody who they think might be carrying migrants, but there's -- how would you determine that? how would you figure that out in a fair and reason

covid cases in the last week include texas governor greg abbot, a fierce opponent of mask mandates who were fully vaccinated and there are bombarding icus with children filling the beds. >> please get vaccinated. the best action you can do to protect yourself and others is to get vaccinated in the first place. >> we begin this hour with the situation in afghanistan, and nbc national security and military correspondent courtney kubi and weekend today co-host peter alexander, david ignatius and retired four-star army general mccaffrey. let's go to foreign chief correspondent richard engel. >> garrett, things here are looking more orderly than a couple of days ago, this is the kabul international airport and on monday this is where we saw thousands of afghans climb on to the fence, storm on to the runway and hanging on to civilian planes and u.s. military transport jets stopping the evacuation process. more troops have been brought in. more military vehicles are on display and there are fighter jets above and all day we've been watching groups of afghans escorted on to base, taken to proc

juan: could you respond to texas abbot having issued a ban on school masking mandates? dr. propst: it is so frustrating, as a pediatrician and as a parent. i feel for parents who are maki these difficult decisions ght now, wheer to homeschool. ma school districts do not offer a virtu option this year many have done away with the plexiglas and other covid mitigati modalitiein their classroom. our governor,nfortunately has taken our children's lives and is using it in a political game of chicken. that is the best way to describe it right now. i am thrilled to see houston independent school district, our new superintendent last week announced intentions to issue a mask mandate in our huge public school system in houston. dallas has followed and austin has followed. other districts are starting to try to come up with a virtual option. masks are the last best hope of defense for children who are vulnerable, and that includes every child under age 12 right now. unfortunately it also includes a huge proption of our population of school-aged children who are eligible, between ages

these two guys, abbot and desantis are way out there and now the limb is about to be sawed off and it'set back. >> you mentioned the dwindling of the anti-vaxers. it was a story that went around of an individual caught up in qanon and really a kind of an anti-covid, antivaccination activist. falsely claiming it's a hoax and putting out misinformation of the vaccine and he died. nobody here, anybody with a heart is rooting for anything other than every one's health. as someone who covers fact and science, i would prefer that he was alive to attack facts than that he died another needless death. these are tragedies. it also generates a kind of an attention amidst the community, the information and misinformation community he was engaged in because sadly like some sort of, he dies of the thing. i'm curious where you think that fits into this. rooting for every one's health. this thing is spreading in a way the people who are publicly, loudly, proudly unvaccinated are in the line of fire. >> a lot of the people who are against vaccination, i think are not particularly anti-science. i think

now, officials have to also deal with governor greg abbot's executive order a mandate against mandates. localities here in texas cannot mandate vaccines and mandate masks and any operating restrictions on businesses or closing at midnight for bars and things like that. that is leading businesses and leading local officials do they start a legal battle with the state and things like n-95 masks are95 used to reus to the sprea of the virus. people taking things into their own hands and making decisions for themselves. i want to introduce you to one woman who one woman. >> it is by example. it is one-on-one conversations. it is unexpectation of accountability and being personal with it and being genuine and sincere. it is being available. making it accessibility and not backing down. not accepting the excuses.il >> so, guys, when officials asking nicely or incentives doesn't work, sometimes just those personal conversations with friends, neighbors and family that are the most effective. kendis, lindsey. >> thank you so much. >>> for more on all of this co-director of the center of vaccine

we have seen governor abbot encourage people to get vaccinated, but he is stressing that it is their choice. >> you're right, it looked like a car dealership the way it was going. i have to show this to hour viewers and why i am bringing it up here. you could see this is the cases and look what it did for the rest of the winter. it went from having very few cases to suddenly one or two in the country for a three or four month period. and dr. blackstock, a year ago, we're talking 100,000 to 200,000 people. now a 3x amount of people going there. will it fuel a surge in the winter that you know won't allow this delta variant to burn out if that is a possibility? >> thank you for having me on, chuck. will say this rally was a bad idea last year and it's even worse this year. this will be exponentially worse than last year. as you just mentioned more people, we have a hyper transmissable variant. they're not tracking to see if people are vaccinated. people will be indoors for part of the rally as well. so this will not end well at all. we know it will be pretty bad and it's just a matter

being pushed by the ignorance and political drivers of people like governor de santis and governor abbot and others. they are saying and convincing people that this is about their personal freedom and their personal ability to make a choice. that is not okay. that is not acceptable. there are many, many things that we have to do. we have to have a driver's license if we want to drive the car. we need insurance. we can't run down the street naked. we can't yell fire in theater and we have to get our children vaccinated and they must go to school. we have a deadly crisis on our hands. it has been now poisoned by some really crazy politics and some political agendas that we don't have control over at this point. >> doctor, you wrote an op-ed on this topic last week. you said enough already. it's time to follow new york's lead on vaccine mandates. at this point that doesn't sound realistic at all. if you consider the patch work we have now, arizona, texas, florida, they're all going the opposite direction. i want to dissect that personal freedom debate. people say it's my personal freedom to

you have governor abbot who has tested for covid. he's negative after being positive last week.nned all mask mandates. local legislatures, school officials are pushing back. courts are now getting involved. is it possible for texas to get past the politics of masks in order to keep people safe? >> we need to. we need real leadership. he needs to comes to terms with the fact that masks save lives. the vaccinations help save lives. it helped him. we need to encourage all texans to get their vaccination as soon as possible and to wear masks. we need to allow -- if he doesn't want to take leadership position of can go people to ware their mask, we need to give that power to county judges, majors, school boards across the state and have them implement mask mandates. it's necessary for kids going back to school and social distance. in my community, our hospitals are full, icus are full with adults and many, many children that have been infected this past month. it's disappointing for the governor to not stand behind them. he was infected. he was fortunate to have this antiviral treatm

if the argument today is well, it's a parental choice, and that's what abbot says in texas, and that'shave to wear a mask in a school setting, it's not something that should be mandated by the schools, what are they going to say days, weeks from now, when we all want kids under 12 to be vaccinated. will that too be regarded as a parental choice because i can tell you in order to begin school in those states there are certain number of vaccinations that students need to have. so are we going to say you don't need to be vaccinated in order to go to school when we reach a point that vaccination for those under 12 is appropriate? i'm really worried about that even more than the mask issue. this is just a sign of what's to come. >> let me give you a preview, yes, of course desantis and abbott are going to block any kind of local vaccine mandates for kids to go to school. >> i think that's outrageous, how can you distinguish that which is now ravaging the country from all of those that are required. i think that that hypocrisy is going to be a problem. are they playing to their respective ba
