it is -- is your relationship with ron young. >> i don't really have a relationship with ron young. >. >> he's a guy from aspen. god, how does his name come up? >> reporter: st. john felt he might have thrown pam off our game. >> we are trying to do our best on this. >> wow, he's a guy from aspen that did some financial stuff for me. >> are you aware of an arrest warrant out for him? >> no. >> and what was the last time you had dealings with him? >> well, it's been a long time. since he was doing work for me. >> reporter: and pam denied ever having a romantic relationship with ron. >> and you are never were boyfriend girlfriend? never had an affair? >> no, no. >> in my opinion, she minimized it. she's saying, he's just the person that did some work for me, i didn't see them a month. >> now the guy was involved? with >> no. >> not a guy who i refused to sign the complaint down with the cops came? >> correct. >> but pans question to the ron young issue, the cops had nothing on her. nothing placing them in tucson on the day of the murder. and nothing connecting either one of them to the

ron bus beat is the president of the u.s. chambers inc., and lisa is the president of the opportunity finance network. a very warm welcome to you both. ron: thank you for having us. lisa: thank you. frances: ron, you have been personally a very successful businessman growing from $150,000 revenue to $50 million over 10 years. what do you see as the biggest challenges facing minority owned businesses right now? ron: thank you for having us on this afternoon. we represent 150 chambers in 42 states. we have 385,000 black-owned businesses. we did a survey of our business members had what their concerns were. if you ask any small business owner, they will say access to capital. a black business owner, they will say the top three concerns are access to affordable and available capital. for us, capital is critical. we know we get half of what we've gone in for and pay twice the rate for the same dollars that we receive as our white peers. everything being equal -- credit scores, balance sheets, profitability, even business plans. fo

ron made a good point. we were talking about this here as we wait for trial verdicts to come in, this jverdict came in quick, the jury deliberating for about nine hours you heard testimony from nine women, two men, including one of the women who appeared in that documentary we just mentioned, a 2019 "surviving r. kelly" doc who talked about what her experience was with the singer i turn to you here for your legal expertise and perspective on what you think it means that it was a relatively short deliberation >> we never know, but i couldn't agree with ron more. generally when you see a verdict, like you pointed out, with this type of complexity racketeering is difficult for some lawyers to understand, let alone jurors after a month's worth of testimony, they only asked a few questions, asked to see a few pieces of evidence i think ron is right generally when you see that, it generally will be a verdict of guilty usually when you see something that would be a defense verdict, it would be kind of longer and d

he is a comedian host of the youtube. sho, get your news on with ron. and in honolulu we go to gram elwood he is a regular the jimmy door show, as well as host of the political vigilante podcasts on youtube. i gentlemen cross groves and in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate, graham, i'm going to go to you 1st because as you're speaking it is 4 o 3 am in the morning. ok. that is. that's that. that is a real heroic effort. we all appreciate it. graham. i have this observation. i want you to confirm agree, disagree with me, but why am i going to online comics to get the news? but when i watch news outlets, i get some kind of comedic propaganda about the news. have you noticed the trend here, graham? well, i'm kind of split on, you know, it's obviously giving folks like myself and rod and jimmy a job, but it isn't that we're living in the same times that comedians on youtube or like the source for trust. the news because the corporate media is like from that it's like a bizarre world where it's, it's kind of fun but al

so what happened to ron johnson?r what they told you. >> reporter: well, if you are a fan of ron johnson, you see the same grass roots guy that you elected many years ago, but there are 34reare plenty of cri say that he is spreading dangerous conspiracies. as he toys with running for a third term, seems there is no controversy that he won't wade into. whether fueling misinformation on vaccines, dismissing the climate crisis as b.s. -- >> i think that it is a hoax. >> reporter: or suggesting the fbi had inside knoll owledge of january 6 insurrection but didn't thwart it. his apparent willingness to deny facts and spread conspiracies have led some wondering what happened to ron johnson. >> he was yoour guy. >> reporter: mark becker went from rallying behind johnson to campaigning against him in a few short years. >> everything that he has done since donald trump, it has been so devoid of reality. >> reporter: still becker called up johnson to air his frustration over republicans pedaling unfound claims. >> and i said r

me okay, let's go back to ron and los los angeles. iran. you know, a lot of the stuff that you do, jimmy does, and you, graham, also, when what i like about and everybody knows i'm a conservative and these guys are progressive. okay. and it will make a very good fit. i think sometimes and talking about these issues, but what you guys do and what i appreciate, if you do a systemic critique, you don't really like to go. i mean, it's all, it's all fun to make fun of trump. it's really easy to do. it's fun to make fun of bite and that's really easy to do. but you guys do things that are edgy and in many cases per bowden. you critique a system. ok. and that's what makes you guys interesting. and you're actually funny in the process. so that's the, that, that's the extra, extra points that you get to score with your audience here. but would you disagree with me, but that, that's really kind of the secret of, of, of a discussing politics. now when we have such a close, been narrowing media space go ahead wrong. absolutely. i mean, you really need

yeah, i mean, ron, i don't know if you saw the clip. it biting was calling out for mom, mom, where's mom? okay. i mean, and that just water off the back of the duck. nobody noticed. ok. i mean, when you see that clip in there and no one in the press corps reacts to it, then you're wondering what is really going on here? that was i, the only one that's all that good. i mean, calling out for mom is probably among the lesser gaps that he had. i mean, this is a guy and so many people are still talking about donald trump, which i've never seen anything like that in my lifetime. i was no fan of donald trump. i'm no fan of joe biden either. and these people who are so shocked by donald trump, it's like, or you so shell shock that you don't notice that joe biden's continuing. most of his policies do not see that happening. and even after bush, like it's not like people were still making bush jokes after he was out of the office. for some reason. they're still talking about donald trump, which is not only just bizarre because again, he's not pre

when johnson surprisingly returned his call -- >> i said, ron, joe biden won the election.i'm not stupid. >> i'm not going to make those people mad. >> did you hear from him at all after you wrote an editorial about that column? >> i sure did. you know i did. so, yeah, crazy. so i got a text on january 7th. this was a day after the insurrection. mark, it is my sincere hope to never have to see or speak to a low-life weasel such as yourself again. please stop trying to contact me. so they're still picking up glass on the floor of the capitol and that's what he's concerned about. >> reporter: johnson declined an interview. johnson expected the call to remain private. according to johnson, months later he went public with what he claims the conversation was about and what i had said. anyone who would do that is a low-life weasel and nothing they say should be given any credence. [ applause ] >> reporter: in a statement johnson says those remarks are consistent with what i've been saying publicly on the 2020 election, and pointed to interviews where he admits biden won. but he

north—east. years ron it character of the north—east. 4: years ron it has led character of the north—east original and biggest is ingrained in the dna of the north—east and the area's revival. that's all from sportsday. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at eight... commemoration services have been taking place to mark 20 years since the nine eleven terror attacks in america. the names of the almost three thousand victims were read out at events in new york, washington and pennsylvania. six moments of silence have been held, marking the times each of the four hijacked planes crashed and when the world trade centre buildings collapsed on that day in 2001. former presidents clinton and obama joined joe biden in new york, as george w bush spoke in pennsylvania, warning about a loss of unity in american society.

as ron has said it matters the kind of deal you get from your lender.munity development lenders, our lenders with a purpose, with a mission, to support businesses, community for citrus, affordable housing, and want to get a a fair deald want to come with capital but i call it capital plus, capital plus the supports that can help drive a business. we are not just there to make a buck. were also usually make sure our clients succeed, and succeed in some of the lowest income communities in the country. so to me your lender matters and that's why it's been so important for a relatively small network of community development financial institutions to be, to have focus and to a bigger partners. >> i am hearing this term networking a lot. ron, your u.s. black chamber court makes with 145 others across the country. could you tell me about the significance of that coordination and networking? what you you are dealing wid how you help the other ones. >> is great question. the u.s. black chamber was out of what we call our five pillars, located in washington, d.c.

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

people say why on earth would ron desantis be engaing in desperately bad politics?r time. he hasn't really been held accountable for the surge. florida now is the number one state in the united states with deaths from covid, more floridians have died from covid than all americans did during the vietnam war. i mean, think about that for a second and yet, desantis hasn't really been held accountable in the same way that trump really hasn't been held accountable to the republican party for the events of january 6th. thereinfunty playing base politics because right now, they're not being held to account. let's be honest. >> people are dying as a result. it's a hell of a game to play with people's lives. it's terrifying. >>> tonight's absolute worst is ahead as a foreign leader brings his covid loving ways to the big apple but first, it's looking like bipartisan toss on a police reform bill have completely collapsed with no plan c waiting in the wings. more after this. stay with us. the wings more after this. stay with us since suzie's got goals, she'll want a plan to re

ron allen thank you.ene and michael here, and i should note for our viewers we're at the pentagon, not too far from the airport so if you hear planes overhead in the audio, that's why. helene, this is your beat. you cover this beat. kelly and ron both mentioned the timeliness of the withdrawal of afghanistan, time for the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the chaos over the last few weeks, whats that meant, the confluence of these two events to the servicemembers who devoted so much to this country since. talk about the resources about this day and the last three weeks lead up to it. >> and the 20 years leading up to that. >> sure. >> this is a building i think that's probably, people are in a world of hurt right now because of the not because of the exit from afghanistan, not the withdrawal but because of a, we lost 13 servicemembers, i think it was two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago. the states are running together in my mind now, but also because of what the scenes you saw at hamid karzai international ai

what happened to ron johnson and the other is like, why is he saying all this? he doing all this stuff? >> craig has been covering politics simpson the 1980s and following johnson since he was elected in 2010. >> it is unusual to have a member of the senate from a 50-50 state as conservative as ron johnson is. it is not necessarily great election politics to have, to be where ronald johnson has been on some of these issues. >> reporter: those issues include questioning safe and effective vaccines. >> should you be exposing yourself or should a parent expose a child to a vaccine that we don't know the long term safety effect of these? >> reporter: while touting covid-19 treatments that health officials have found ineffective, it's or as the fda warned, dangerous. >> there are other things that we just completely ignored. >> reporter: johnson spokeswoman said he opposed to mandates but like everyonering want the pandemic to end and hopes the vaccine will play a key role in ending it. vemd johnson is an advocate for early covid treatment. he is agnostic regarding w

ron continued with facts on the price of this farmland. quote, outsiders believe the value is there but, in fact, farm families don't want to sell so the auction price goes up. ron said, quote, in august there were 40 iowa farmland auctions with most of the sales between 10,000 to -- $10,000 to $16,000 an acre. assuming a taxable gain of $10,000 per acre, biden's tax plan could be $4,400 per acre. ron told me that, quote, that a minimum -- at a minimum this would be a $200 cash rent for 22 years to the u.s. government all payable in advance. end of quote. he added, quote, this is con physical scaition, not -- confiscation, not taxation. ron said that since $4,400 must be paid for with after-tax dollars, it would take double this amount to pay it back. interest charges could make the payback period more than 50 years just to pay the u.s. government. end of quote. ron finished his e-mail by saying, it doesn't take much outside money to raise havoc with iowa farmland auction. quote, the state or transfer taxes will ultimately destroy iowa's f

thank you, ron. i'll see you tomorrow night slash monday. >> i'll see you tomorrow. >> have a good one until then. >>> a right-wing saturday at the scene of the crime eight months after rioters stormed the capitol, and the security threats are very real and very dangerous. >> in the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks, i was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people. when it comes to the unity of america, those days seem distant from our own. malign force seems at work in our common life. that turns every disagreement into an argument and every argument into a clash of cultures. so much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear, and resentment. that leaves us worried about our nation and our future together. tony here from creditrepair.com taking to the streets to talk about credit. can you repair your credit yourself? yes. -great. how? uhhh... how long does credit repair take? i don't know, like 10 years. what? are you insane? what's a good credit score? go. 600. mayb

one is what happened to ron johnson, and the other is why is he saying all this stuff?ed in 2010. >> unusual to have a member of the senate from a 50/50 state, as conservative as johnson is, it is not great general election politics to be kind of where ron johnson has been on some of these issues. >> reporter: those issues include questioning safe and effective vaccines. >> should you be exposing yourself or should a parent expose their child to a vaccine that we don't know the long-term safety effect of these. >> reporter: while touting covid-19 treatments that health officials found ineffective, or as the fda warned, dangerous. >> it is not just hydroxychloroquine. there are other things we just complete ignored. >> reporter: johnson's spokeswoman said he is opposed to vaccine mandate, but like everyone, he wants the pandemic to end and hopes the vaccine will play a key role in ending it. johnson is also an advocate for early covid treatment. he is agnostic concerning which drugs would be effective. he wants them all researched. shimming insists his frankness appears

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

do you think that's new, ron press, who's just come in? he could be using this threat to actually have nuclear weapons to bring a wider sanction relief from the bio ministration regarding all the oil exports, which we know are crippling in the economy. but with this administration being divided will at work. do you see bite and actually releasing some of those restrictions? you know what i can see joe biden given around anything that they want to, you know, america is looking like a joke to an entire world, and i called it back in january. the vita ministry is going to be completely weak on international relationships. and now you see iran who is completely in bold and they don't care about what the united states is doing. job by nice cut down our own oil pipeline. and then he's given other countries the ability to transfer oil. now he's begging opec, which iran is a part of opec. busy from oil, so now i ran has the upper hand in the united states, say, you know what? we're going to get these things. we're going to press more things. the r

well, from our perspective, how can you send the message to ron? i mean, you just seen a restarting the taliban taken over. i guess, dan, this is my opinion how to do with leadership and accountability and right now this is what we don't have in our white house. so when you allow something like what happened and again, this happened, you know, the research of the taliban. every single country that wanted to be enemies of the united states and be a more involved. and so this is what you see from, from the lack of leadership and lack of accountability. i think that the united states is going to have to go above and beyond the finish strong mesh. busy it's who i ran, that you know what, what you're doing, you know, it's going to be found on it and we're going to take action. we're going to re retaliate against the, the, the continuous production of nuclear weapons that iranian, but that's the question joe, that's a $1000000.00 question, especially considering this administration and their approaches from a military perspective, the past few months. ho

hello, ron. hello, kirsten. ron, the house voting tonight along party lines to prevent a government shutdown and to suspend the debt ceiling. but it seems like this bill is dead on arrival in the senate. are republicans really willing to let the country default? >> sure looks that way. look, people have to understand, you know, the debt ceiling, when you raise the debt ceiling, you are not authorizing future debt and future spending. you are, in effect, acknowledging the debt and the spending that has already occurred. and of course most of that occurred under president trump and republican-controlled senate. so it is kind of the high point of hypocrisy to now refuse to pay the bills that you ran up, you know, while you were in control. you know, there's just a tiny number of republicans who have indicated any openness to this. in the end, democrats may have to figure out a way to do this like almost everything else on a party-line basis. but as usual, we are sailing into crisis without a clear port in sight. >>

ron and samantha are back with us.an? i think for many dead. i think for _ war in afghanistan? i think for many dead. i think for many, _ war in afghanistan? i think for many dead. i think for many, it _ war in afghanistan? i think for many dead. i think for many, it was, i dead. i think for many, it was, you know, long in coming and that kind of for those of us who are still actively engaged on many different parts of fighting the war on terror, which, remember, we called the global war on terror, we knew it wasn't over. it was, we needed to do that, he needed to be taken out, but the situation and had metastasized and it continued to continue to be attached to the homeland. and if i may, if i canjust got back attached to the homeland. and if i may, if i can just got back you know, to those days after we were attacked on the homeland on 9/11, because, you know, has ransacked some of the emotions that came to the fore that they, fear, terror, angen the fore that they, fear, terror, anger, anger that people had come int

ron desantis, come on. we see you. and then, there is the texas governor, greg abbott, who tweeted saying that he'd protect texans' rights to choose -- right to choose. oh, the hypocrisy. texans' right to choose, huh? all the sudden, governor of texas is all pro-choice? just not for women. in texas, they don't have the right to choose to not carry the child of a rapist to term. people who want to go around -- think about that. think about that. he's going to protect people's right to choose. but if you happen to become impregnated, you're a woman, a young woman, a child, you got to carry the baby. let that set in for a while. hmm, interesting. but people who want to go around unvaccinated, un-masked in the middle of a pandemic, right? what about that, right? seems that they can do whatever they want. we talked about freedom tonight. well right now, as you are looking, live, at the iconic tribute in light, we are just hours away from marking the solemn anniversary of the day when foreign terrorists attacked our freedom.

hey, ron, i got to get this in. i want to talk about the president slamming texas' new voting law, calling it an all-out assault on democracy. but you say without mentioning the word filibuster, this is like thoughts and prayers for disenfranchised voters. tell me about that. >> right. look, you know, the objections by manchin to the reconciliation bill kind of distract from what is probably going to be the core question involving manchin and sinema in the next few weeks, which is whether they are willing to create a carveout from the filibuster for legislation that would create a floor, a federal floor of voting rights in every state and undo much of what republicans are doing on a party-line basis, which is very important in state after state. biden, you know, has said he supports a new kind of floor of federal voting rights and democrats have worked very assiduously to negotiate a new bill with manchin that met the objections that he kind of laid out to the more expansive bill that passed the house. and we are co

ron, i'll start with you. in this margin of neuse tomb win, if it's as big as those exit polls now suggest, when he sits down at his desk on wednesday to write out thank you cards, should the first one be to donald trump for giving him something to run against and the second one to larry elder for making that possible by claiming to be further to the right of donald trump? >> maybe reverse. maybe reverse the order. look, the recall got on the ballot by mobilizing discontent in the most conservative parts of the state, particularly to governor newsom's tough measures on lockdowns in response to covid last year, all punk twatwaipt punctuated by his ill-fated decision to go to french la laundry. they never expanded beyond that. and as larry elder became the face of the recall and kind of the personification of the recall it folded in on itself even more. what newsom was able to do in the final weeks of the election was really bring the whole campaign full circle. it got on the ballot because conservatives didn't

go ahead, ron. sorry. >> even more fundamentally, there is one side that is, you know, turning away from being a small d democratic party in kind of the western tradition and kind of moving openly to both suppress the rights of the people who vote and potentially to subvert the election result. the only thing i was going to add, doesn't it seem like everything that was happening in the last few weeks underscores how ridiculous it is that we are still being held hostage by the fill buster? the reason we are at risk of crashing the domestic and global economy and defaulting on our debts is because of the possibility of the filibuster. the reason democrats are tying themselves in knots, trying to negotiate an entire legislative agenda in one bill is it's because it's the only way they can avoid the filibuster. the reason whether it's unclear whether democrats can respond to this anti-democratic party push going on in so many red states is because joe manchin and kyrsten sinema may not let them get arou

how do they do it, ron? >> it's unfortunate.re brave men and women that go out every day to protect us. they're certainly mission focused. they're capable of doing this work. it's demoralizing for them to know this could have been avoided with proper prior planning and keeping policies in place until there was a plan for this surge. it's tough and my heart goes out to them. todd: ron vitiello, thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate your i'm. >> thank you. todd: lawrence jones is on the ground in del-rio for a firsthand look at the growing human tear an crisis happening at our -- humanitarian crisis happening at our border. we'll check in with him next hour. jillian: beto o'rourke is considering a run. he launched a short lived bid for the white house in 2020. a new poll shows the democrat trailing governor greg abbott by five points. despite his national profile, the poll shows other possible candidates including matthew mcconaughey are more popular with texas. todd: i haven't wrapped my head around what that would

ron brownstein is joining us from california. that was our conversation last night.g have you and i been talking about this? >> we've been talking about it for a while. look there, was always only one question in this recall, given the inherent advantages the democrats have in the state, and that was whether democratic voters would sleepwalk through the vote. and that was the threat that was raised by that berkeley poll at the end of july that showed republicans were far more engaged in the race and as a result among likely voters as opposed to all voters it appeared close at that moment. what happened after that is significant because the core problem, we talked about this last night, the core problem the president's party faces in midterm elections is their voters are usually less motivated to turn out than the voters that are out of the white house. and that is the problem that newsom faced. well, how did he solve that? he obviously solved it in a big way. he solved it by focusing not so much on what he has done but on what republicans might do if given power. and

ron, i love in your notes the word "normalization." say we have many normalizations going on right now. what are those? the important one ronald: ronald: is the labor market normalization. this is where the rubber meets the road we have children, in theory, going to school. hopefully that works out. we have the return to the office or the return of the labor force. i think we underestimate how much has been tied up in caregiving the last 18 months. this is that time when return to school plus the expiration of the expanded unemployment benefits should affect millions heading back to the labor market. one anecdote here, we are 1.7 million workers below where we were in january 2020 in terms of the total number of employees that normalization. is important the second is a normalization of consumption. the consumption of goods is still down 7%. and it also matters, by the way, where we consume those goods, not in midtown manhattan but in new jersey. tom: in deutsche bank, we read like gospel, folks, years ago, off the fleet desk a million

mccaskill, msnbc political analyst and texas state representative ron reynolds is here. what is going on in texas? >> unfortunately it's a race to see who can outflank who in the next primary, appeasing the trumpites. it's not what is best for texans and good public policy but how to go to far extreme, don't believe in science or good public policy. what is far right? appeals to the base. we should be focusing on health care and covid recovery and medicaid expansion but focused on the red meat issues you laid out. they're putting politics over the people and it's unpatriotic and certainly untexan. >> want to put up governor abbott's approval rating. 41% of texans approve, 50%

senator claire mccaskill, msnbc political analyst, and texas state representative ron reynolds is here. i will start with you, representative. what is going on in texas? >> well, nicolle, happy labor day. unfortunately, many in the republican leadership, it is a race to see who can outflank who in the next republican primary with red meat appeasing the trumpites. it is no longer about what is best for public policy. it is how to go to the far extreme where you don't believe in science and you don't believe in good public policy, but what is far right and can appease to their base. so we should be focusing on issues like health care and covid recovery and medicaid expansion, but we're focused on those red meat issues that you laid out in your opening monologue. i think that they are putting politics over the people, and it is unpatriotic and certainly untexan. >> i want to, representative, put your governor abbott's approval rating. only 41% of texans approve of him.

party also with us is claire mccaskill, and texas state representative ron reynolds. also with you representative, what is going on in texas? >> nicole, happy labor day. unfortunately, many in the republican leadership -- who can outflank who in the next republican primary with red meat appeasing the trump fights. it is no longer about what's best for texas or good public policy. it is how to go to the far extreme where you don't believe in science and you don't believe in good public policy, but what is far right and can appeals to their base. we should be focusing on issues like health care and covid recovery, and medicaid expansion. but we focus on those red wreaked issues that you opened up. they are putting politics before people, it is unpatriotic, and on texan. >> i want you to put up abbots approval rating, 41% of texans approve of, him 50% disapprove.

joining me now is white house chief of staff ron klain.hank you so much for joining me this morning. so, i first want to ask about covid and specifically the white house plans, that you announced last month, to begin offering booster shots to all vaccinated adults beginning september 20th. but cnn and other news organizations are reporting that top health officials warned the white house this week that they need more time to review all the necessary data before they can recommend boosters for all adults. you all know president biden promised to always follow the science, but in this case did he get ahead of the science by setting that specific date for boosters before all the data was in? >> no, dana. i think what we said was that we would be ready as of the 20th, which was the projection we were given from the senior science team as to when the fda would clear the boosters. i want to be absolutely clear. no one's going to get boosters until the fda says they're approved, until the cdc advisory committee makes a recommendation. what we wan

>> well, hand stuff is fine. >> jimmy: okay, thank you, ron [ laughter ] ron hobbs, everyone.very much enjoy the olympics >> steve: in n out burger. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, that's not all people are confused about when it comes to the olympics there's a lot of misinformation out there. so i thought it would be helpful to break down what's fact and what's fiction about this year's games. for example, simone biles may attempt a yurchenko double-pike vault and half-on with two twists fiction, that's her starbucks order. [ laughter ] >> steve: true >> jimmy: next up. fact, karate, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing are making their debut fiction, frisbee golf is next, bruh [ laughter ] and finally, fact, the games will have no spectators. fiction, when they heard, badminton players were like, "wait, you can have spectators?" [ laughter and applause that's fiction, they know that switching gears, lasts night, fox news aired a ten second public service announcement urging viewers to get the vaccine. although it didn't help when they ended the psa by saying, "just so you

the white house, dana was pushing ron klain on this yesterday for clarity, i think, for everyone, and it seems like their stance is we bought enough boosters. we have them. we're waiting on the fda and we don't know when that's going to be. >> yeah, poppy, and the white house had been hoping that they would have two versions of a covid-19 booster shot available for that september 20th rollout. it appears that that initial plan is now taking a hit. officials are saying that pfizer appears to be on track to be approved before that date, but moderna might take a little bit longer. as officials are saying, they need more time to review that data, which they initially found to be inadequate. but the white house is also insisting that no covid-19 booster shots will be administered without fda approval, and then the recommendation of the cdc. it's arguing that they set that september 20th target so that a plan was in place that once the formal approval came through, they'd be ready to roll out those shots immediately. take a listen to a bit of what white house chief of staff ron klain had to
