desantis named dr. joseph ladipo as the new florida surgeon general.hasis on vaccination. quote, it's been treated almost like a religion and that's just senseless he said. the sunshine state's top doctor issued a rule ending the state's required school quarantine after covid exposure saying it's up to parents to decide. in a series of op eds, the doctor argued against vaccine mandates and questioned the vaccine in general and called it an over reaction. it's no surprise ron found a doctor who will tell him what he wants to hear since this particular doctor has been affiliated with a group of desantis bffs that the most infamous florida retiree was also infakuated with. the bogus miracle cure hydroxychloroquine. the video was scrubbed from social media for misinformation and we're only showing part of it because florida's surgeon general was a speaker. >> the perspective most people have been hearing is hydroxychloroquine doesn't work, right? i believe that perspective, too until i started talking to doctors who would look more closely than some of the

we had a bill on the house floor that basically would have put in place desantis style restrictions against what i consider reasonable precautions to control covid. i spoke out against that on the house floor and i won the new hampshire house did not pass that measure. it's been an interesting summer. i won't go into some of the behind the scenes stuff but yesterday they decided to hold a rally in support of desantis regulations prohibiting businesses from mandating vaccinations for employees and

how concerned are you about this push back from desantis? >> i think that we shouldn't be playing politics with something as serious as this disease. the vaccine is incredibly safe. in fact, you commented about the verilation, which is recommended by george washington back in the 17 00s and i should add that he had martha washington in front of everyone take the verilation to show his troops that it was safe, and actually, that was incredibly dangerous compared to the vaccines we have now, which are incredibly safe and effective, and the combination of using the vaccines and the non-pharmaceutical interventions are our best way out of this. anyone who isn't on board with that is not participating in the best citizen ship that should exist in this country and that is going for every single one of those including the governors. >> so david, all over and i know some states it is different, but, you know, people, americans support people and vaccine mandates and businesses really want it, right, because it's procapitalists because they don't hav

desantis did nothing to correct it. about the virus when your own governor lets these conspiracy theories flourish? >> what i would like to say, don, that we're all focused on doing the best we can to protect our citizens from a largely preventible virus. and there's certainly lots of mitigation. and vaccines of course remain our most important weapon. leaders i believe have the responsibility to lead and to promote trust in government and promote trust in public health officials. we need that more than we ever have. >> when the president announced vaccine mandates for some employers, we heard pushback like this from republicans like kevin mccarthy saying forcing people to vaccinate or pay a fine is un-american. why is it okay when desantis wants to issue fines but not when biden wants to issue fines? >> yeah, it's a little hard to wrap your brain around, don. we have to be, again, cities and counties all across this country, we're the first to respond in times like this. and we've been activated 544 days today in leon

the story for desantis is a fascinating. one desantis is doing a bunch of things in florida that are pretty unpopular with his own florida voters. he is risking his 2022 reelection. he's taking -- he could win -- he would be easily reelected. he's gonna have a hard time being reelected in order to align himself with the people he believes will decide the republican primary in 2024. what happens in the virginia suburbs is going to give a big shot of reality to weather desantis's gamble is right or whether it is unwise. >> i think you lay that out which is why it could look very easily from afar, and even up close, even inside florida, like a totally bunker strategy even on the politics to say nothing of the a moral considerations about whether you are knowingly risking the lives of constituents for political agenda. but as you say, it is entirely eyeing a group of individuals out of primary electorate while beyond his own state. joyce, in this investigation, one of the problems with even well-meaning journalism, is that we sp

just like that guy speaking before desantis.ing the base and not a long-term strategy of winning general elections. >> now, the vaccine is a new issue. reproductive rights is not. and the operative understanding for the right has been talk the talk, but you're not going to walk the walk, so you get it both ways. you're not going to piss off the majority, including in their own party, that does not want reproductive rights completely stripped from women, but you get to say the right things for the christian value set. what happens if the law does change? >> right. so this is a be careful what you wish for. and as i was listening to you describe the background circumstances, i was thinking on ronald reagan's watch, remember, reagan as president, very pro-life in his philosophy. but you know, every year, chris, there used to be a gathering. there still is on capitol hill, of pro-life forces. and it always struck me that ronald reagan would communicate with them sitting in the oval office instead of going out and making an appearanc

bottom line, the facts divergeo of desantis.ponse. >> it is absurd when something has been going on for a long time. >> "the miami herald" shows it is not accurate and it takes time for the process to be counted then they were actually assigned. this could sound a little complicated. the bottom line is the people who are not desantis says the government is trying to kof you are up how bad the death rate is for the place of desantis overseeing what is widely been one of the worst responses to covid in america. we have seen consequences. take 11-year-old peyton lee now in the hospital fighting covid after going into the class where the governor got into the way where safety rules were violated. >> the fifth grader wore a mask in school but it is not required. many didn't. >> there were children out there and my daughter who has special needs and make them even more vulnerable. that's what people should be, keeping everyone safe. >> keeping everyone safe especially with the information available. the majority of people in florida s

desantis said he was protecting a personal choice. he also recently said this about the impact of the choice. >> at the end of the day though it is what somebody, it is about your health and whether you want that protection or not. it really doesn't impact me or anyone else. >> it really doesn't impact me or anyone else. again, he didn't say that months ago before there was a delta variant. that was last friday. this is what personal choice looks like right now in florida. it is the current seven-day moving average of deaths in florida from coronavirus. it's never been higher. thankfully cases are finally starting to drop there. as dr. fauci told cnn tuesday morning when responding to that comment by desantis, quote, when you have a virus that is circulating in the community and you are not vaccinated you are part of the problem. by the way, if republicans and conservatives on the far right were really so upset about businesses demanding employees vaccinate, you would think they'd have something to say about fox news. its parent compa

also florida governor ron desantis takes on dr.auci for giving not so state of the art information about covid-19. plus tonight, that oklahoma doctor at the center of that firestorm that the media botched reporting on, about ivermectin overdoses supposedly swamping hospitals in oklahoma. that same doctor now says that msnbc, the media, they got it wrong. update on even more democrats asking where is the president on border security as afghanistan collapses? look at this surprising reporting out of "the new york times." that white house officials are secretly happy and relieved that the supreme court did reinstate former president trump's remain in mexico policy. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. we come to the show. you're watching the fox business network. we begin tonight in afghanistan. the taliban announcing the inauguration ceremony for its new government. we have reports coming in, it is potentially could occur on the date of 20th anniversar

the story for desantis is a fascinaing one. he's doing a bunch of things in florida that's unpopularment unpopularment -- he's risking his 2022 reelection. he'll have a tougher reelect in order to align himself with the people he believes will decide in the primary 2024. what happens in the virginia suburbs is going to give a big shot of reality whether it's right or unwise. >> yeah, i think you lay that out which is why it could look easily in the fall and even up close inside florida like a totally bonker strategy even on the politics to say nothing -- whether you are knowingly risking the lives of political agenda. but as you say it's entirely eyeing a group of individuals in a primary electorate well beyond his own state. joyce, one of the problems with even well meaning journalism to spend more time on the things that go really wrong that the near misses and i think a lot of story telling like this. take a look, i believe we have this 800 interviews here. i am looking at the stats on the pipe bombs investigation. 23,000 vi

the difference here between ron desantis and dr. they're in charge. dr. fauci treats them like they're children who work for him. we've seen that throughout the pandemic. obviously it is two different visions of the way this country should be run. dr. fauci has been caught on the record by his own acknowledgement lying multiple times including to "the new york times." he said he intentionally was changing herd immunity thresholds based on public polling. he remains the highest paid employee in the entire federal government. ron desantis has not only dr. fauci to push back against, much of the american news media. elizabeth: it is astonishing how much people need to get correct information and it feels, it is disturbing that some instances they don't get that information. vince collagnese. always good to have you on. up next former nypd lieutenant, he is darren porcher back with us. we have this story for you, as crime has been rising nationwide a bail fund that then candidate kamala harris touted during the 2020 race, it ended up he

oh, look, ron desantis was right, or you know, he won the pandemic. i have to air quotes that. is i think he's partially banking on that. and he's partially banking on the fact that he's creating a foil with biden. you know, we have talked plenty about whether he has 2024 aspirations if trump were to not run. we see the republican party, whether trump runs or not, whether desantis runs or not, this is an audience of one. and desantis is looking to appease trump and appease that base that has helped propel him, and he hopes will help propel him to win re-election. >> hayes, i want you to listen to what nebraska governor pete ricketts said today to chris wallace. take a listen. >> if the polio vaccine is okay for parents and they have to comply with it to send their kid to school, why not for a lot of people, not just kids, the vaccine for this disease? >> yeah, and i think this is very different from polio that has very devastating effects. really, children are no more at risk for the coronavirus than they are for the ordinary flu. >> okay, so you take that take, hayes, and you

florida governor ron desantis said this about australia. "it's not a free country. every country at all. in fact i mean i wonder why we would still have the same diplomatic relations when they are doing that. australia freer than communist china right now? i don't know." australians have been pushing back in there been massive protests. >> shannon: some of those videos are tough to watch. all right. thanks for tracking it. good to see you. many uses for a trash can. in florida, my home state, that includes trapping an alligator. unique friendship between a toddler and a much taller buddy. today's best viral videos are next. think wearing less makeup means no need for a wipe? think again. neutrogena® makeup remover wipes remove the 30% of makeup ordinary cleansers can leave behind. your skin will thank you. neutrogena®. for people with skin. go with simparica trio it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms. dogs get triple protection in just one simparic

in fairness to desantis, you've got a 6-year-old. his kids are like 5, 3 and 1 so a couple of them are barely in school yet, so i take your point about whether or not he knows what he's doing. your school was already going against desantis' ruling. are the parents with you on this, john? >> yes, 100%. i've never seen such a group -- and remember we live in miami-dade county. it's a multicultural county. people from argentina, brazil, columbia and europe and new yorkers now like us. so it's -- we've all come together -- you want to give me an oreo? >> let me have the cream side. >> he doesn't always eat this unhealthy i promise you. >> that's a staple right there. >> we're lucky in that respect. >>tha that is true. god willing he stays healthy, the tests hold up and you guys get to keep your kids safe down there, and i look forward to checking in with you. and i hope we have a very good and sweet new year. we could use it. >> thank you. >> thanks for the cookie, liam. appreciate you. one more. thank you very much. take care. have a go

on desantis would be my -- desantis would be my choice for the 2024 president.e could mobilize troops, so to speak. host: you prefer desantis over donald trump? caller: yes. host: why? caller: i will get a lot of ire. mr. trump did a good job in a lot of ways, but he is -- he -- it is hard to put it, but he divides people. so much. it did not turn out to be a great thing. he has narcissism, the personality disorder. he is the personification of it. i do not think i would want him back coming to tell you the truth. -- coming back, to tell you the truth. desantis, the press will not hate him so much. host: just a few minutes left in this segment of the washington journal. a few more of your social media condiments -- comments, including diana at a new jersey. my new jersey governor governs with people's interests in mind. he puts forth legislation that benefits working people and honors commitments promised by law. he cut taxes for seniors and low and middle income tax holds -- households. governor phil murphy, the democrats in new jersey. new jersey, another one

that governor desantis, until all of this winds its way through the court, that governor desantis can in fact continue to ban masks in schools. so, this is not sitting well with a lot of parents. we understand is that this is not going to go back to court until probably the school year is over. so, at this point, governor desantis has vowed to take money away from local school districts, and we are seeing that in a couple of districts here across the state. i'm here or at tampa, this is in hillsborough county. this county, the school board here, hillsborough county schools, has actually instituted mask mandates as well. so, they are going against the governor's orders. all of this is happening, as you said, as deaths continue to rise here in the state of florida. including some death rates among children who are not yet eligible even for the vaccine. so, that is what is happening here on the ground in florida. the battle continues over masks here. >> stephanie, what about business leaders with some of these new recommendations, requirements, from the biden administration? how are they

today governor desantis at this. >> to pull the rug out from anyone a week after the president himselfd be increasing the distribution by 50% is very problematic. >> as a remedy desantis says he's now in the process of trying to buy antibody treatments directly from glaxosmithkline. >> the committee to unleash prosperity, one of the first to pull all this together. the left went from attacking desantis for promoting these treatments to are they implying he's ordering the mall or - a lot of people in red states will die because of this. >> pre-remarkable situation, just a couple weeks ago the attack was how dare he use this drug, he should spend his time on the vaccine and all of that was debunked, it was a conspiracy theory and then they went from he's using too much, he sorting it at a remarkable thing is there's no shortage of this drug. the manufacturer says there's ample supply to meet all demand through the end of this year and if you read inside the press release carefully from the the purpose of health and human services they say they are going to distribute it or equitably both

many of my colleagues and myself have been critical of ron desantis. i would very much like it if he were taking his marching from us but i see very little evidence of that. host: back to the issue of surveillance, rich things for waiting in baltimore. caller: good morning, i have a comment. it's the day before 9/11 and you guys are speaking about surveillance and what this country did wrong in response to the terrorist attacks. it's just disrespectful in my view that you are not doing more of a tribute. i'm sure you'll do more things with tributes and things that happen on that day. to criticize this country on the day before 9/11, i find it quite disrespectful. it's more to c-span for the comment for having this talk today. host: in our last hour and 15 minutes of the program, we are turning the phone lines back to the viewer to get your memories of 9/11 and programming throughout the day will cover all of the events tomorrow from new york to d.c. and pennsylvania. you can watch it all live and call in about it all day tomorrow on c-span. there will

several school districts and local governments are already defying desantis.d. >>> house speaker nancy pelosi says proposals to fund the president's massive reshaping of the social safety net heads to the budget committee today, that will set up more negotiations over the $3.5 trillion bill. the senate democrats are divided on the cost and it is not clear all 50 will unite against the package. >>> hurricane nicholas weakening to a tropical storm, still expected to generate significant flooding. more than 10 inches of rain in the forecast from galveston to lake charles. >>> boston on the verge of history, a preliminary vote today will choose two finalists for november's mayoral election. the eventual winner will become the first nonwhite person elected to boston's highest office. >>> former presidents bush, clinton and obama teaming up to help a bipartisan effort to support afghan refugees to help with resettlement. the three former first ladies are also serving as honorary co-chairs. >>> apple issuing an emergency security update, newly discovered florida coul

>> i think ron desantis found a guy who is ron desantis, but with a medical degree. listen, ron desantis is a guy who is also a harvard and yale grad. and the guy we're seeing now in florida governor ron desantis is the different than the guy who was first elected. ron desantis got elected by a very slim margin. there was a recount in florida. there is always a recount in florida, but -- and he came in talking about the environment. he came in trying to be conciliatory. but he's obviously decided he wants to run for president, that he wants the republican nomination, and that the way to do it is to cater to the republican donald trump base and that means the folks who embrace anti-science, who deny vaccines, who believe in, you know, cattle dewormers, who -- we see him over and over taking this as a crusade, right? whether it is suing school boards, whether it is telling local governments that he's going to find them if they issue a mask mandate, and now with his pick for surgeon general. look, you know, the bottom line is as a floridian, as somebody who lives in flo

. >> some are having none of it, including, ron desantis. he is vowing to fight back.de of a middle school in tampa, florida, with more on. this schools are at the center of the covid-19 battleground in that state. the governor is refusing to comply. his state just hit a record high when it comes to covid-19 related deaths. >> yeah, good morning to you. undeed. this state did for the third week in a row the state of florida has set a record in terms of covid-19 fatalities last week reporting more than 2400 deaths from covid-19. president biden is going to fight every step of the way. the governor spoke at several veterans events ahead of 9/11 in which he reiterateddefiance against the president. the. >> see, elected officials violate the constitution, we have a responsibility to fight back. and that's what we're doing. and that's what we're going to do in florida to combat what joe biden is trying to do with these unconstitutional mandates he's imposing. >> and you heard the applause there. that is because governor desantis has strong support here within the state of f

and desantis is clearly rallying. i think the big question at the end of the day is, is it more than 30% of the narrative? >> some of this rhetoric we're hearing from these republicans is outrageous, making comparisons to the gus stop poe. >> he said bring it, right? he was making the argument, once again, it is what we heard in the inaugural. it is what we heard in his remarks about september 11th. he was yet again today pleading with the country that this should be a moment of unity, right? that's the whole joe biden theme. and he's challenging these republicans to say you could bring all this criticism you want, but this is actually a moment the country needs to come together to put this virus behind us. >> thank you so much. >> i can't say how excited i am to have you here. >>> coming up, officials say about 100 americans remain in afghanistan tonight as 21 u.s. citizens evacuate this as the nation marks 20 years since the 9/11 terror attacks that sparked america's longest war. so you can focus on what matters mos

meaning fully vaccinated people now coming down with covid and governor ron desantis set up the centersstates. meaningd that people who have either vaccinated, they have the ability to get the regeneron. biden only mentioned for the first time last week donald trump had covid nearly one year ago. he had the monoclonal antibodies. the biden team wants full control. you're going to take away distribution powers from states like florida? playing politics with life-saving treatments? heres florida governor ron desantis slamming this move, rightly so. >> we are very, very concerned with the biden administration and the hhs and the recent, abrupt, sudden announcement they're going to dramatically cut the number of monoclonal antibodies that are going to be sent to the state of florida. just to pull the rug out from anybody one week after the president himself said they are going to be increasing the distribution by n 50%. it is a very, very problematic. >> sean: he only mentioned it for the first time last week, the centers were already set up by ron desantis. of course, that's not all. dr. g

so, you know, why is that your assessment that he's done a good job, desantis?onally, covid throughout seems like every month it's a whole new set of rules. i got vaccinated. i believe in the vaccine. i would encourage people to get it. but my 95-year-old mother got vaccinated. >> we're talking about your assessment of governance in the covid pandemic, and you said that ron desantis was the best at it. and the death numbers don't lie. >> you're bringing that up and that was a few months ago. obviously things have changed and i'm sure he will respond the best he possibly can to this. >> do you change your assessment of that? can i ask you, caitlan, do you feel -- what do you think about how florida and ron desantis have done? >> i think overall as things change, i think when the pandemic came out, i think he did a very good job. there is that delicate balance between the science and the economy and public health. i think at the beginning he weighed it very well and he was able to keep the economy going. the reason gachvin newsom is in this recall is the way he sh

so on that point, governor desantis isn't wrong. of the complaining on the right, the live free or die revolutionary war, and the people yelling at school boards about masks and screaming we know where you live, our response has been pretty light touch. in fact, it makes all this foam nating around tyranny sound a bit ridiculous. ron desantis is correct that australia chose a different path than florida or anywhere else, and certain freedoms have been curtained there, it's worth asking what kind of results have they gotten, how have they actually done against covid. it turns out australia has roughly the same population as florida. that makes for a useful comparison. florida's got about 21 1/2 medical people. australia has 26 million people, over the course of this pandemic, since last march, 1,256 people died from covid in australia. florida surpassed the entire pandemic death toll of australia in just one week at the height of the delta outbreak. over the same period of time, florida had 54,000 deaths, adjusted for population, tha

ron desantis, the governor of florida wants to be president.republican primary f you're ron desantis, don't you have to say i passed the most restrictive abortion law in my state or i tried to? doesn't this compel desantis to try to pass this in the state of florida, which is purple-ish. purple/red. a lot of voters in florida may not like the idea of an abortion ban and there are general election voters, you know, for a presidential run who might not like the idea of it. >> it certainly could because i think desantis, you know, he is going to be running for re-election. what he'll be up against, you're seeing all these republican governors coming out and making names for themselves by doing things like this, engaging in these battles of vaccine requirements and mask mandates and this is a new frontier in addition to restrictive voting laws. so how desantis finds his place in that, where he distinguishes himself is a big aspect. i want to note when we talk about one thing with this texas law, it's so restrictive in its nature and i was listening

today, governor desantis said this.to pull the rug out from anyone a week after the president felt like they would be increasing the distributions by 50%, it's a very, very problematic. >> so as a remedy, governor desantis says he is now in the process of trying to buy antibody treatments directly from glaxosmithkline. >> laura: unbelievable. here now, he was one of the first to pull all this together. phil, the left went from attacking governor desantis for promoting these treatments to now, are they implying he is porting the mall or they want all people in red states to die. >> you're absolutely right, the attack on the use of this drug which doesn't even work, he should spend all his time on the vaccine and maybe a secret kick back with the manufacturer. all of that was debunked as a conspiracy theory and then they went from, he is using too much and hoarding it. the remarkable thing is there is no shortage of this drug. the manufacturer said there is ample supply to meet all demand through the end of this year and

but governor ron desantis still isn't backing down. steve martin. >> they get together. >> boom. >> they left the set yesterday, went to midtown manhattan, sat down with these two guys for about an hour. it's a rare two-man sitdown. if you get steve martin and marty short together, ut everything i hope it would be. >> a little jimini. >> he delivered his favorite jimini line in character martin short. the two met on the set of three amigos. the first is he made a dig at him. he looked at his art collection and said how you can afford all this art? because i've seen your work. and that was the foundation of their relationship and it continues exactly like that to this day some they got this great new hulu show called only murders in the building. it co-stars selena gomez, in a brilliant cast. it is incredibly funny. what a privilege to sit down with these two for an hour. full conversation this weekend on "sunday today." >> can't wait for it. wait for t i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. but my nunormal with nucala? fe

the desantis ticket. >> i would go with someone.drafted. >> you will do it preserve your country. >> send the checks. >> are we starting a sub one super pac? >> just filling up your gas tank to get over here. >> i landed at lax and it was $4.79 a gallon. >> u.s. how much it cost to fill up an suv and i have one of those, $70. unbelievable. 99? so this brings me to my question about about california. we have a recall election going on. [applause] i think one of our mutual friends larry elder is in that race. the [applause] so i ask you jesse watters will you save christmas? how in the world do we save -- [laughter] >> if you tell us to move we can't. >> is california beyond saving or can you say that? >> look at this room. >> not being an expert in california but what they have done with illegal immigration is against the republican party so a huge problem there and then you have the supermajority in the state legislature. and i assume the california supreme court is not too conservative. >> now. >> okay. what was the question again

what do you make of desantis elevating someone with these views?rised that the governor picked someone with his world view on these issues. um, the new surgeon general has strong medical credentials and i hope he takes an open mind to -- to his position in evaluating these things on behalf of the residents of florida. the reality is there is a lot of interventions that can have some impact, maybe a marginal impact but some impact. but if there are otherwise less costly interventions that are going to allow us to go about most of our normal activities without much interruption, we ought to reach for those interventions and things like masks are something we can do easily. we know they have an impact. people can debate how impactful they are but if you are wearing a high-quality mask, kn95 mask, level-three procedure mask, it is going to afford you a level of protection. there is pretty good literature right now looking at flu and covid demonstrating that the masks can provide a measure of protection. and in an environment where there aren't a lot of

he is not going to tell desantis what he wants to do.e is going to use his credentials to validate his foolishness. and that's what we're seeing now. it's unfortunate that they're using this gentleman who benefitted from a lot of the sacrifices that our predecessors made who rebelled, who were killed, jailed, beat to put him in harvard, for him to then go out and serve against our interests. that's a pure slap in the face. >> it is indeed. it is indeed. i want to move on. you've talked about this on the show. just the pushback has gotten to be weird and dangerous against people like yourself who are just trying to give people basic health advice and trying to give people good advice so they can survive this pandemic. here are some reports. the billings gazette reporting that a patient has thrown his own feces at a doctor to punish that doctor for talking about trying to get vaccinated. georgia public health reports a patient grabbed a nurse by her wrist and started kicking her in the ribs. in michigan, someone tried to run a health offic

which is a shift from last month when pence led desantis by two points. again, all theoretical.r, denied he is running in 2024 saying he is focused on his re-election next year. and some revelations about the midterms in the spring, you'll remember, florida passed an elections bill limiting mail-in voting. to pass it, state republicans preached it was necessary to prevent fraud insisting it was not political. which were, of course, all lies according to internal exchanges obtained by "politico." in them, florida republicans made clear they believed mail-in ballots would be devastating for their party in 2022. with me now, former-florida congressman, he is the host of strange days podcast and an msnbc political analyst. jonathan, daca recipient and the vice president of programs for the kasie foundation. and sarah, executive director for the alliance for youth action. it is great to see you all. congressman, i am going to start with you because i have this pelosi dear colleague letter in my hand. so we know, tomorrow they are going to begin debate on the bipartisan infrastructure
