doctor irwin redlener, founding director of columbia international center for disaster preparedness who advises us on public health, also a professor of pediatrics at albert einstein college of medicine. good evening, welcome to you all. mr. rocker i would like to begin with you. what are you hearing from the white house deprived as they were feeling like today was a big victory given all else that has been going on? >> well, brian, it was a big victory and you saw president biden pausing their during the day to celebrate it. note that bipartisanship is alive and well on that one bill, but there is also simultaneously the three and a half trillion dollar budget bill that is moving through notably without any bipartisanship. the republican opposition to that spending package is unified and fierce and it means that the democrats will have to push it through using the process known as reconciliation, where they would just have that 50 plus one majority in the senate to get it passed. there are tensions within the democratic party on capitol hill among progressives in the house who refuse,

irwin redlener, msnbc public health analyst and founding director of the national center for disasterbia university. dr. redlener, good afternoon to you. first, let's talk about the mask mandates. we have seen so much push back. how do you counter claims that masks are medical tyranny? >> well, it is kind of an absurd thought in a way if you think about it. there's a lot of things we need to do to protect the public 'health from clean air and clean water to the shots, the routine shots their children have to get before they enter school. here we have a raging, deadly dynamic pandemic, especially now fuelled by the delta variant, and we're simply trying to say from the scientific and public health community, you have to get vaccinated if you are eligible and, secondly, we need to wear masks and keep ourselves safe, especially keep children safe in schools since most kids, obviously all kids under 12, are still not eligible to be vaccinated. somehow it has turned into a political free for all with extreme political partisan politics taking over what should be a purely public health set

irwin redlener. welcome to you both.his one and i want to read for you from a "new york times" piece quoting someone from the hospital in missouri talking about what's happening there on the ground when it comes to folks getting vaccinated and disguising themselves when getting vaccinated. they say i work closely with our pharmacists who are leading our vaccine efforts through our organization. one of them told me the other day that they had several people come in to get vaccinated who have tried to sort of disguise their appearance and even went so far as to say, please, please, please, do not let anyone know that i got this vaccine. jeremy, is this consistent with anecdotal things that you're seeing as well? >> i don't think it's consistent. i do think we have a huge challenge about vaccines. i do know that we had a physician tell me the other day that one of her patients wanted to get the vaccine but did not want her kids to know about it because they were adamantly against it. but overall, we're not having people com
