look, ronny jackson, one day we'll get to the bottom of what happened to him.ss, the idea that the rise of this new variant is related to domestic or partisan politics is of course ridiculous. it's an obscene form of negative partisanship, give the fact that three-quarters of a million americans have died. look at the folks who have been spreading disinformation and lies about vaccination because it's still a pandemic of the unvaccinated in terms of hospitalizations. and as we face this new variant, those folks will be the ones who continue to suffer the most. >> which is what makes it the most objectionable. this is a medical doctor with a doctor of the president of the united states, a couple times over. the idea that he has become a maga world conspiracy theorist undermining his old profession, undermining faith that people have in public health officials. forget it, how about just with their doctors? it's actually real malpractice in his profession, the profession that frankly put him on the map and is the reason he's in congress in the first place. >> it s

former white house doctor and current congressman ronny jackson tweeted on saturday, "here comes the mev -- the midterm election variant! they need a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. democrats will do anything to cheat during an election, but we're not going to let them!" so let me get this straight. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi developed this variant to encourage democrats to vote by mail. seems like maybe you're giving them too much credit. do you think democrats are that organized? they can't even get joe manchin to support maternity leave! i don't think they're creating viruses. but this man, who is a doctor, a white house doctor. this is a man who had obama and trump's testicles in his palm just making up crazy stuff. that's our world now. the name "omicron" comes from the greek alphabet, which means the next variant will be called pi. that's a problem. as much as americans don't want to get covid, we do love pie. and we all know which one wins between our brain and stomach. meanwhile the weakest variant of the trump virus, donald jr., was vaxxing poetic

you hear congressman ronny jackson, the former physician to the president, tweeting saying, well, this is the democrats' attempt to try to make up a new mid-term variant. they are losing the messaging war so this is what they have to do. >> why it's been such a challenge for biden to fulfill the key campaign promise to shut down the virus and pandemic. we heard that from him over and over again and what he's running up is not only the politics at home but also the fact that there are low vaccination rates around the world and until those populations get vaccinated, a key example being south africa which has i think 20% of its population vaccinated you're going to continue to see these mutations. this is going to continue to be a problem so that's the reality that the president confronts even as the country is getting tired and even he as well wants to be able to move on. >> and the pledge to should down the virus is going to come back to bite him because he can't shut it down. >> he can, but if he had more help, common sense, we can debate mask mandates or vaccine mandates, but the ide

as ronny jackson said, is part of a midterm election variant. to stoke those fears.ying the role of the media should be in that situation? should they call out that misinformation, should they not call it out? even i was saying, impacting our democracy. when you have a right-wing echo chamber that was saying the election was stolen, that is pretty serious. that's not just saying that -- it's not just about misinformation, i would argue it's disinformation. they are deliberately putting it out there so that their viewers can consume and become more angry and more mobilized towards that information. >> i think those are great examples of things that are obviously not true. and that are kind of political propaganda that our lives. very old kinds of falsehoods. i think there is a big spectrum of stuff that is not that clear and that we would like to apply this simple framework of misinformation too. through the trump years, progressives believed a lot of things that were not determined to be true about trump and russia for instance. was that misinformation? was it delibe

. >> i wonder if you think this is the same audience of one, ronny jackson who tweeted ant the omicroniant. here comes the nev, midterm election variant. they need a reason to push nationwide mail-in ballots. democrats will do anything to cheat during an election. we're not going to let them. identify flexible mind, but it's hard for me to get into a space where another covid variant could help democrats. has the covid response become too politicized for there to be anymore action on covid response? >> we know at least 65 republicans supposedly haven't been vaccinated in congress. that's stunning given all the information we have on covid. but i've al been told that our house physician doesn't release the data of who has been -- who has gotten a vaccination. not that we get names because of hipaa, but they don't release it to registries because there's some members getting vaccinated but don't want to admit to it. how far more -- you can't go much further into crazy land than that. this is appealing to what they donald trump wants to hear. the republican party has to be a political par

. >> what's your message to those republicans, though, like congressman ronnie jackson, pushing all theseid conspiracy theories out there. >> look, i think it's very clear that this administration, the biden administration, has not been consistent in what they are putting out there regarding covid. and that caused the space to be created for a lot of this stuff to be inserted. here to me is the bottom line. the smartest thing for anybody out there is to get vaccinated. if you've gotten vaccinated and you're eligible for a booster to get a booster. there's no question that helps to put you in the best position not to get seriously ill or face death from covid-19 and any of the variants. and i think that should be the strong and consistent message and we should be educating the people who have not yet been vaccinated as to why on the facts and the merits it makes since for them to do it. they don't want to be indoctrinated. they want to be educated. we have an obligation as a government to do that. the biden administration has fallen down on that regard and it creates space for all kinds of

congressman former white house physician ronny jackson.the line? >> i think we are doing everything we can in texas right now. we are mobilizing the national guard. we are mobilizing our dps, department of public safety officers onto the foward try to stop some of this. they have been threatened by the federal government that their jurisdiction and their authority doesn't extend to patrolling the border. have to be careful they don't want to become the people that thrown in jail over all of this. i wouldn't put it past the biden administration to do something like that. we are doing everything we can we have huge numbers, brian. right now on track for -- we are averaging over 200,000 a month coming up here. on track for 2 million this year. those are the ones we know about. those are not including the got-aways. these people are showing up and 25% of these people are showing up covid positive. covid positive. trying to stop code from crossing our border large number of immigrants come across. now have 10,000 ant way right now. doing nothin

you just can't do it because you see these crazy people like ronny jackson running around and talking- not crazy, extraordinarily cynical at a guy who literally if you judge him by his words does not give a damn whether they live or die am thnld own u look at mitch mcconnell, pro vaccine, survived polio. pushing the vaccine since the very beginning. i'm wondering what the interplay is between a lot of senate republicans and then these crazy house-backbenniers they eej been talking about. they're not gerrymandered. they actually have to win entire states with diverse ideological breakdowns. i just wonder what mitch and other republicans are thinking when they hear this crazy anti-vaccine talk. >> we know that he's not explicitly condemning it. i don't understand the political calculus like you in terms of the connection. when we cannot trust what is being said, when we can't engage in serious deliberation as citizens of a democracy, the democracy is really in jeopardy. if truth is not at the heart, reasonable deliberation, reasonable exchange, reasonable disagreement is not at the hear

politicking but that's not stopped a congressman from your state there in texas, this is republican ronnie jacksonbut we are not going to let them. that is ronniejackson, who was the former white house chief medical adviser. what do you make of that? yeah, we need to follow the science here. you know, we as scientists know that this is in a lot of mutations. we cannot take on omicron lightly. but with that said, we cannot just lose all lightly. but with that said, we cannotjust lose all hope either. there is certainly a balance here, and while we are answering questions in real time and while we are answering questions in realtime in and while we are answering questions in real time in labs, we need people to do their part on the ground and continue to protect themselves. more science, continue to protect themselves. more science. less — continue to protect themselves. more science, less politics _ continue to protect themselves. more science, less politics is _ continue to protect themselves. more science, less politics is what we need. doctor, that you very much for being with us. need. doctor,
