fauci says there are? >> dr. fauci might say this week but seems to change from meeting to meeting and interview to interview. elizabeth: okay. we also have this. infectious disease scientist in dr. fauci's niaid has spoken out against masks for children in schools. she is marjorie smoke, lobbying personally gop governor harry hogan about that. she wrote an essay for advocate magazine questioning the mandate for masks in schools. cite ad study out of north carolina, the studies are weak and not scientific because they had no control group and more? >> that is how scientific studies are done. you need a control group to show they are effective. we recognize these mask mandates are just another manipulative tool to not allow students to be in school learning. that is what is so important. we as republicans recognize that students best learn when they're in a school setting. we're seeing that there is evidence of depression, anxiety, from students who have not been in school, or students who have been masked. just l

i think the reshuffle is going to start there and include fauci and walensky. we are going to have some name changes on the doors pretty were soon, i think. >> shannon: ari, what about that? we know the governors are in town this weekend all kinds of events, the president and vice president. a lot of folks steam hinted that secretary becerra was missing from those big events this weekend? >> well, they don't have to hint it. they can observe it. he was missing. he has been missing since the day he got appointed. just baffling to me that a politician, a congressman, who understands the power of communication biggest issue in the country is under your auspice cease as secretary of hhs, health and human services and he doesn't speak to the public. so, that is a legitimate change they need. but, if i'm the biden administration. i would not change their people involved in covid for the simple reason that it will just make conservatives say see, we were right all along and it will upset liberals who love fauci. there is no political upside for them doing that they ar

anthony fauci, from a member of pfizer's board who formally sat at the top position of the fda that they expected to come in the next month or so. one thing you might want to consider as a parent is is it going to be three dose regimen or to dose regimen? in the wake of omicron, we are seeing it as much harder to prevent some to medic covid cases, including among children with just two doses. that is why many parents are disappointed this hasn't come sooner. emily: lots of people waiting. thank you for that update. the ongoing pandemic has accelerated a transition in health care from hospitals to the home. my next guest wants to stay a hair -- stay ahead of that curve. a new round of funding valued at more than a billion dollars was announced for an at-home testing company to give patients and doctors the ability to monitor chronic conditions at home. joining me is the cofounder of the company. thank you for joining us. this is an fda approved device you can use at home. explain the vision. >> thank you for having me on. the way we think about chronic care is folks who are chronically il

the fact that scientists like fauci -- remember, in 2020, fauci was saying the chinese communist party was cooperative and transparent. the fact that they were buying what was coming out of beijing makes it more stunning where there was a massive cover up understood way. trace, we have to get to the bottom of this. >> trace: but how? that is my question? how do you get to the bottom when china won't cooperate? you want to get to the bottom of it. you have resistance in this country and china won't cooperate. what is the remedy for this? >> the biden administration did this 90-day intel review, which was a joke. until china cooperates, we can't do anything. i don't buy that. the president has it within his power to declassified all of the intelligence we have surrounding these corrupt assessments as well as to push an effort to sanction the chinese communist party for the fact that they have stone walled an investigation and corrupted the who. the other thing we can do is pass a law prohibiting gain of function research. which by some reports will be increased in the terms of amount of

issuing coercive policies based on fauci-an declarations runs counter to the constitutional traditions that are the hallmark of free nations. consigning after we saw state after state whether it is denying people the right to go to church, whether it is denying people the right to work, whether it was denying people the right to do basic things like marry loved ones, we saw state after state confine peoples' rights to the graveyard. throughout this time, florida stood as freedoms vanguard. [applause] we reject the biomedical security state that crushes liberty, destroys livelihood, and divides our society. in florida, everybody has a right to work. every business has a right to operate. every kid has a right to go to school in person. you cannot be fired from your job based on covid shot and you cannot be required to show medical papers just to participate in society. we are the free state of florida. [applause] and i think what we have seen over the past couple years brings back an old admonition that was made by president eisenhower in his farewell address. not about the military-ind

fauci changing the tune and they get millions of nih funding it is the currency of academic medicine, unfortunately it's not adding up and does not look good. >> let's talk about living with tobin there are more countries around the world that are realizing a no covid policy is impossible, we saw that with omicron and is swept through everything possible through masks, vaccinations, natural immunity it really got through everything one way or another is about to how do we live with covid now? >> you are exactly right people are seeing the futility of trying to continue a 0 covid policy all of the should of been targeted and that's one mistake that we will look back on and have regrets, they look at south africa, they said number quarantine, denmark is removing all covid restrictions and norway about to do the same south korea says on february 6 the good to be back to normal in the normal was selected masking policy, if you been exposed to the book virus and around someone vulnerable you wear a quality mask in the united states 41 states do not have an indoor mask requirement but nine

fauci and the cdc director to sit down and have a discussion with them on what these doctors and renowned scientists, dr. malone, dr. reese, what they have found in treating the patients and discrepancies. just an open discussion for the transparency of massive amounts of information. i echo what other callers have said. i am not on rumble -- i guess you cut me off. host: you are still on. finish your thought. caller: the only way i found it was i get an email from dr. malone and there was a rumble link. it is a five hour hearing where senator ron johnson sits down with this panel of doctors after the march that i think i heard 85,000 people peacefully marched from one spot in washington to the other. host: we have to leave it there because that is the end of our program. we thank those of you for watching and participating today. do not forget that u.n. security council hearing that will take place tonight. you can watch it on c-span two, c-span now, and c-span.org. that is it for our program today. another edition of washington journal comes your way at 7:00 tomorrow morning. we will se

fauci said it would be a three-dose regimen for the youngest. you said the best case would be march. are you sticking with that? >> doctor: if they decide to authorize this onthe basis of two doses, it could be out much sooner. and i think the vaccine has changed in six months to 4-year-olds. previously we had data showing that the child vaccine six months to four years wasn't as is good in protection as the adult vaccine, so that's why they pushed it out and asked for that third dose. but if the goal of the vaccine is to get base line immunity, and you're not really using the vaccine to prevent infection in the first place, two doses could do that. it could p provide base line immunity that protects them from authize this for two doses, it could be out as early as march. >> brennan: that could be a big development. mamark strassmann was reporting on san francisco being the first city to rollbarollback mask mandate. >> doctor: this will be a real challenge. it says these measures should be lifted when there is low prevalence. the c.d.c. defines

>> doctor fauci or someone at that level handed down the edict we have to vaccinate every american to get out of the pandemic. that was the message and nobody was supposed to fear from that message. we had a very dishonest conversation and in my opinion a blocking of all research on natural immunity i talked to one investigator who submitted a study to the nih that got a top score by an independent review committee but oddly was never funded. but yet we see researchers who change their tune on lab leaked receive million soon after they change their tune. nih controls the currency of academic medicine and i think they use that to say we will not study this question. my research team at johns hopkins did a study on natural immunity through private funding. week after philanthropists to fund and it is definitive as natural immunity. steve: expand on the last point people need to understand the cdc finally admits natural immunity is more powerful than the vaccination and preventing infection but they still have it published on how long it lasts. what did your study show? >> it's not that

and bureaucrats like tony fauci and francis collins try to cover up the inquiries of a few years ago they encourage the left wing scaremongering campaign about me and anyone else appointed to the lab is a possibility for the worldly sin of the origins of this virus. and china needs to be held accountable for it. especially as we go into these olympics that never should've been given to china should've been pulled from china a year ago and should be rebuilt elsewhere. we cannot let china have a big propaganda victory without any inquiry into their role into spreading this plague around the world. dana: tumor topics for usual one is on the southern border. and the fact the administration had been sending these fights in the middle of the night. we saw this in westchester county this is an august the governor of new york he got this video, we released it. i am just curious what you hear of anything for the biden administration question after they have a sense of how american is feeling about ceiling seeing things like this? [laughter] >> seem to be totally clueless about it, dana. they

fauci, threats to remove democrats from committee positions, and the chaos that follows. i think that's something that democrats can absolutely lift up, to emphasize that while democrats are working to get something done, republicans will just create an environment of chaos and gridlock. >> elena, juanita makes an interesting point which is they may not have a policy agenda that they are clear or that they are televising, but it doesn't mean they haven't told us how they plan to governing should they take back power. >> that's exactly right, alicia. going back to mitch mcconnell, he and my colleague jonathan swan reported this last year in november. mcconnell was at a donor dinner with a lot of republican donors, some other republican senators, and make this clear. one donor asked him, okay, sure, you want to run against what democrats are doing and against the biden administration, but what about what we're going to run on? and he said, this has worked for us in the past, it worked for us in 2014 when republicans helped lead republicans back to the majority. we're seeing

fauci in particular has a creative and much more political divide during this pandemic than ever it needed to be. we have lost eight, america's loss of faith and its medical institutions when they see the decisions have been made according to politics, not rather to science but i do hope and pray that this omicron is the beginning of the end of this. even though it last week just as many americans died from omicron as dig in the highest peak and delta. it's not over with, but again we need to understand this is something this going to be with us for a while and we need to learn to live with it and stop trying to run from it. mike: doctor jim some advice for those suffering from covid fatigue suffering for the masks and more? >> i do this is a difficult time because depression has skyrocketed substance abuse has skyrocketed mental health and home abuse and things like that have skyrocketed. people have to understand there is light at the end of the channel. think the masks, you look at parts of the country were no mask mandates whatsoever and other folks are messed up entirely there's reall

anthony fauci engaged in an attempt to coffer up discussion -- cover up discussion of the possible origins of the coronavirus from the wuhan institute of virology and whether gain of function research was involved and how people who sort of helped in that effort ended up getting these massive grants. at the end of that, it was a really interesting report. but you think back to how our government officials, including anthony fauci, the world health organization, really worked to suppress if key information that would have mattered and affected the lives of millions of people if he had better and more accurate information -- howard: i did, i did a follow-up on that. let me come back to spotify with our remaining second, leslie. neil young says 60% of his music streamed online is on spotify, so this would hurt him and the other musicians who are joining. could this be a publicity move and two months from now neil young quietly comes back to spotify? >> no, not with this particular artist. as you have mentioned, neil young has been active in politics and spoken his mind since the '60s. no, i d

bureaucrats like tony fauci and francis collins try to cover up two years ago, they encouraged the kind of left-wing scaremongering campaign about me and anyone else who pointed to the lab is a possibility. if the world needs to know the origin of this virus and china needs to be held accountable for it, especially as we go into these olympics that never should have been given to china, that should have been pulled from china a year ago and should have been rebuilt elsewhere. we can't let china have a big propaganda victory without any inquiry into their role spreading this plague around the world. >> dana: two more topics before lose you got, one is on the southern border but also the fact that the administration had been sending these flights in the middle of the night. we saw this in westchester county. this is from august and water bus to reno wants to the governor of new york. he got this video, we released it. i'm just curious what you hear, if anything, from the biden administration, do they have a sense of how americans are feeling about seeing things like this? >> senator cotto

fauci wanted that covered up. the behind the scenes discussion about the virus happening as top scientists published studies omitting the lab leak theory from research and condemning it as a conspiracy theory. >>> colorado state university putting up this sign offering 17 resources to help students, quote, affected by free speech on campus. it offers context for multicultural counseling -- [laughter] and a victims' assistance hotline are. resources are even listed for university staff. the picture was posted by the turning point usa colorado chapter with the caption, quote, gotta love the intolerance of colorado state university. and those are your headlines. will, that was, by the way with, an incredible interview with the doctor. i think people need -- if you didn't see it, you should go back and watch it. i think it's game-changing. will: thank you. it is fascinating and deserves a ton more attention. a conservative cover-up, rachel. and not just that, but a reputation-destroying attempt on any doctor that dare

long story, a reoccurring character named anthony fauci was involved how about your risk of dying from covid? i bet you don't know your specific risk even after two and a half years. and what happened to the rapid testing? how about a rapid answer? no chance it is like asking a waitress where your drinks are after 20mens in a crowded whrestaurant. yeah i know you'll find out and circle back. the supply chainnt ever get fix? hell even looters in l.a. are complaining that trains are late and where's mayor pete? is he still lactateing what is kamala doing and headline what is joe doing besides napping how are we dealing with china while there's covid fentanyl uighurs do we know anything? what was in that letter to putin a stern warning a mysterious white powder 30 buck for a new shirt what about crime? remember when those hate crime stats were everywhere and then they weren't remember when mug shots mattered now they're gone. then murder spiked bureaucrats hide rise in murder as if people on platforms were thinking at least this suspect mail fraud more hand from people who have blood on t

anthony fauci says officials in the u.s. are keeping a close eye on it. so how should we view this? >> this is a variant known at ba.2. it was discovered at the same time as omicron in south africa. it was thought because there weren't a lot of cases, it wouldn't be that important. turns out, probably ba.1 got a head start infecting the world, and ba.2 is catching up quickly, new data showing it is more infectious than omicron, which is crazy. omicron is one of the more infectious respiratory viruses humans have ever seen. that being said, there's no sign yet it is more pathogenic than omicron, that it makes people sicker. we'll see ba.2 causing more oo infections. i think cases will still decline, although the descent might be less steep because of ba.2 infections creeping up. >> great perspective. turn to negotiation columnist michelle goldberg, thinks mandate school masking should end when coronavirus rates return to preomicron levels to give students a reprieve. what do you think of that, do you agree with her thinking? >> i think it is really reasonable to have predefined goals

that because the job of the statesman is not to allow policy to be hijacked by people like anthony fauci, the job of statesmanship is to harmonize the competing interests of society, all the other things that make society function and weave that into a coherent policy. in florida, heated ike's admonition, we protected freedoms and cap their society functioning. the result is we are better for it. not only are we doing as good as we have ever done, we are far outpacing state after state on almost every indicator of -- our budget that i submitted to our legislature came in $99.7 billion. the closest state was a population is the state of new york, they have 3 million fewer people than we do, their budget is $240 billion. we have better roads, other services, better performing schools and the number one rated public university system in the united states. end of the $100 billion budget, that is a $17 billion surplus. a lot of those other states are not sitting on that. [applause] we do this all with no state income tax and the lowest per capita tax burden in the united states. [applause] 20

faanthony fauci says fr sai that he is cautiously opt mission tick that the wave is going in the right direction. do you share that optimism? >> i think that i do. i understand where he is coming from. a month ago, we weren't sure if we would see the same rapid decline in cases that we saw in south africa but that is coming to fruition. so that is a positive thing. at the same time, there are a lot of parts of this pandemic that we shouldn't be optimistic about, that are still a major concern. >> what do you mean? >> high number of cases and deaths. and i think one of the things that we've seen throughout the two years, that is maybe even more so now is the disinformation, the frank, lies, the malicious information that is being put out that is really helping to continue the pandemic instead of helping our efforts to really sue invesppress it. >> it is perplexing why people can't discern truth from figures. but you're right, it only seems to be growing. and there are a lot of stories about more varnts to come. variants to come. is that something that we need to worry about? >> i think

fauci and many health experts say that they are still cautiously optimistic. there are daily cases and hospitalizations that are declining across the u.s. and as a new kaiser poll reveals, about 7 in 10 people who are eligible to receive a booster shot have received one. in the meantime, the white house says that 16 million households have requested free covid-19 rapid tests thus far as part of the program to mail out more than half a billion tests to people. >>> and joan any mni joni mitch actioning in unity with neal yo young. he had pulled his music from the streaming service s spotify. and mitchell says their responsible people are spreading lies. >>> and it has been a pleasure to be with you. take could care of yourselves. i know that it is cold and there is a lot of snow. i'm a little jealous, but go make good memories. >> and we'll keep tracking the storm all day. much more ahead in the next hour of "cnn newsroom." fredricka whitfield is up next. i strip on public transit. i strip with the guys. i strip all by myself. breathe right strips open your nose

fauci. because liberals, you know, still trust him, unbelievably so. but they do. so why doesn't he do that when he knows there is not really isy science behind this for kids? >> there is a good opportunity there for some good strong medical leadership. now, in full disclosure, i'm an adviser to governor youngkin what he has done is said look we have got to pay attention to the kids struggling. look at where the w.h.o. is on this and the european cdc and ireland and the u.k. w.h.o. recommends against masking, they are not neutral in young children and in older kids psychosocial impact. they recognize kids don't just die from viral replication hopelessness and other problems. look at the biden administration surgeon general report. they are saying 25% of american kids are depression and 20% have anxiety. we should not be having nearly half of our nation's children with mental illness right now. got to take care of the entire person. >> rachel: absolutely. this is truly cruel. i think we will be judged very harshly for this moving into the future. i want to talk to y

fauci says he's keeping a close eye on the omicron spin-off variant as it becomes the dominant cause of cases in some parts of the world. but right now he says there's no reason for alarm. >>> meanwhile, the white house says 60 million households have requested free covid-19 rapid tests so far. it's part of the biden administration's program to mail out more than half a billion tests to americans around the country. >>> brazil is reporting a record number of daily coronavirus cases for the third straight day. the country had nearly 270,000 infections on friday compared to 228,000 the day before. and sweden says it won't recommend covid vaccines for children age 5 to 11. the health agency says there's no clear benefit for those kids to get the shot. meanwhile one german official says omicron infections are lower than anticipated due to the covid measures the nation has already enforced. so for more on that let's bring in cnn's scott mcclain who joins us from london. so, scott, what's behind this apparent german success story? >> reporter: well, not sure we can call it a success story

is it about the power fauci has? they like the ability that they can raise taxes, have all of the mandates -- i don't know the answer to that, but it troubles me that democrats, because we have asked them time and time again -- let's look at how this started. i am on this coronavirus committee. they refused to do it. i don't know why, but i think it is because of the power ouchi has. why democrats don't look at it, i'm not exactly sure. >> bret: you accuse the biden administration of holding back on this. you want more things to happen, as far as they look into it, the investigation. meantime, on the january 6th committee, they want to talk to you and you don't want to talk to them. he once told us that you have nothing to hide about that day, but why not talk to them? >> here's my big concern. we put this in our letter, when you have a committee that's proving that they are about politics and, maybe most important for me, a committee that's proven they will alter evidence and lied to the american people about it, we

fauci say he is urging americans to hang on he says for just a few more weeks. how much better do you think things will look by then? >> i think we could be in for a much better spring and summer because so many people have been infected during this last omicron wave. and also, we have many people who are vaccinated and boosted, and so the overall immune protection could actually be very high. of course, we hope that that's the case. we have to prepare for what happens if that's not, and also what happens if there is a new variant that comes along. and so, the role of our federal government should be to ramp up testing, make sure that people have high-quality masks as they are available, and in the meantime, i do think that we should be introducing off ramps for things like masking, especially off ramps for masking in schools. things that were already difficult for people to accept, in the first place. but now, that things are looking better. and also, i think we need to set new metrics. i don't think the metrics should only be infection numbers. we should also

you look at what the arrogant the elite left look at what fauci has and i'm sorry he's one of my own as a physician i could not be more embarrassed by his arrogance of the fact that he's literally responsible for so much vaccine hesitancy in this country if we talk about that kind of thing. this is what america does not want anymore they are tired with this crab for honest with you the rejecting at the progressives cannot stand it. support doctor murphy come back soon as good have you on. now just a few minutes ago coming out of the bottom of the hour we've got the story texas ramping up a new lawsuit just out of the white house is making life difficult, burdening all u.s. with the policy failures about the border. reports from the white house was born in the u.s. could seat 9000 illegal border crosses a day by the spring. we are talking kansas now crossing britain out curtis with more rules for the but not for me paid this time democratic congressman hakeem jeffries has an air as speaker pelosi called out for not paying his fair share in taxes. you would not believe how low, low, lo

fauci. can you tell us a little bit about what you have learned from managing omicron that will help you understand it the next variant and how to manage that? governor pritzker: let me begin by saying we have had real success as difficult as this pandemic has been here in illinois. we have kept death and hospitalizations down significantly. over the course of the entire pandemic as compared to the rest of the midwest. we have the highest vaccination rate in the midwest. we have done, i think, a good job of making sure we are balancing our economic interests with keeping people healthy and safe. that has been my number one concern. omicron has been an unusual variant. the rise of omicron was, you know, so steep and so immediate that really we were deeply concerned that our hospital's weighted up getting overrun. -- would end up getting overrun. as it turns out because we did a good job of vaccinating our population we did not see hospitals get coming you know, filled and then overrun. we hav

anthony fauci. >> i'm cautiously optimistic that things are going in the right direction. >> here's another possible shot at hope after a stagnant spell, vaccinations seem to be kicking back up. now 77% of americans have at least one dose. but as cnn reports for us now, an omicron spinoff variant is catching the eye of scientists. >> my message would be just hang in there. >> easier that than done for many americans, but as exhaustion with the pandemic grows, so do signs of hope. omicron cases coming down in much of the country and promisingly, new data shows vaccination numbers are going up a bit during the omicron surge. a new kaiser family foundation study finds 77% of americans have received at least one dose of a covid vaccine, compared to 73% in november when vaccination rates had stagnated. and more proof of how well vaccines work, according to the cdc, unvaccinated seniors were 52 times more likely to be hospitalized with covid in december than seniors who were fully vaccinate and boosted. >> let's keep working on improving therapeutics and vaccines and make sure there's plenty of t

here's 56-year-old, the jobs were to china the fauci closed and we were out. i called my brother and set should i take this job? gina, that would be so proud of you if you worked for the president to bring back manufacturing jobs to america. that's what we are doing. president biden top priority to make sure we can compete globally and you know that means we have to invest domestically. next to his leadership, this economy is strong. this economy is strong by any measure. wages are up, on a planet rate is down, rated six and a half million jobs. but the reality is even though the economy is strong, our supply chains are very fragile and you know that. but the reason for that is because for decades, we let all manufacturing jobs go overseas. ... invest $52 billion indomestic semiconductor production and create thousands of jobs all over america . we need congress to pass that bill in order to revitalize american manufacturing, revitalized american semi conductor manufacturing. it will be a win for our workers, a win for our businesses, a win for society and cre

fauci, because, you know, i will be a little trite here. if you watch the movies about pandemics, the cdc is sort of the epicenter of things in many ways, and maybe it was that first faulty test, where it was hard to pull back, but ultimately is that where the focus should be, restoring confidence in the cdc, that that has to be the place that the public, number one, believes? >> the answer is yes. i mean, traditionally the cdc has been, and still is, despite all the knocks they are getting, the cdc has been the premium public health organization in the world. and dr. walensky is committed to restoring confidence in the cdc and to get a much clearer and more crisp and consistent messaging, and she will be successful and i support her heavy on that. >> dr. fauci, as always, ex -- appreciate you coming on and explaining the science. appreciate it. >> thank you very much, chuck. thank you for having me. >> you got it. >>> that does it for us this hour. we're just moments away from president biden's live remarks, and you will see him here, he j
