messaging weapon. so jason, coming right off tim s point. how much are republicans doing to damage health care, to damage the health of the red had base out there? and will they ever get cold on it? they are doing everything they can bryan. we have seen this from desantis implored. to can t in georgia. to all the things happening in texas. republicans have constantly behaved as if covid wasn t real, it wasn t a problem. and they took their lead from donald trump last year who contracted covid and basically had a giant super splurge of every time he had an event in washington. that part is a new. the consequences for it, i don t think we can necessarily predict it. because look, quite frankly if you re the quaint of person that gets fired over refusing to take a vaccine. and you are definitely probably already pro maga. so it kind of really people.
they lost earnings. we did that it 30, 40 years ago. i think today this will be a deterrent to future graups but here s the challenge that we have. extremism has been normalized and still amplified in large part because of social media. and if you think this wasn t a problem, i would say to you, there s a through line from charlottesville to capitol hill. so now we need to turn ore attention to the social media companies, where the extremists can amplify their ideas, where they still organize through platforms like facebook groups and as they are held accountable, now i think the government is regulating the social media platforms where these conspiracies have been able not just to take route, but planned and implemented by bad actors. and there were no large scale trials of these rally organizers by either the trump or biden
they cannot give a real number to be gained from stepped up enforcement. best estimate is a footnote in this is about $200 billion. the treasury department said 400 in that gap you find this bill, $200 billion short of blg in the black. that wasn t a problem for house democrats. it may be a problem for senate democrats after all the promises of this bill being fully paid for. that said joe manchin and perhaps sinema may take a knife or an ax to this bill and cut some provisions. for example, the child stay-at-home credit paid leave why wow. staying up too late. the paid leave portion of the bill costs about $200 million. in f that comes out this bill is back in the black. that s to say much more negotiating to be done on the senate side after this
think, until they figured out what was going on. they knew pretty quickly that it was not related to covid. he s vaccinated. he has a booster. they he has a history of heart disease. i think they probably wanted to make sure that there wasn t a problem there. but sanjay and i got a text together last night saying, please get on the phone with us. and i think finally once they knew what it was, they wanted to make sure to get the information out there. jamie, elizabeth, thank you both. so today, fda advisers meet to decide whether to recommend booster doses of the johnson & johnson covid vaccine. also on the agenda, whether mixing and matching vaccines is safe and effective. want to bring in the former chair of the cdc advisory committee for immunization practices and the secretary of stat health for the state of arkansas, dr. jose romero.
if the governor gets recalled tomorrow, it s going to be a polling miss for the ages. gavin newsom is heavily favored. it doesn t mean he ll necessarily win, but it would be quite surprising to me as someone who studies the numbers. how is elder doing and why is he doing well? well, what is doing well, right? he leads in that second round. but that doesn t necessarily mean that most of the people who say they re going to vote in the second round want him. he s only at 31% of the vote. someone else blank don t note at 69% of the vote. compare that to the last recall in 2003 that schwarzenegger won. he was at 46% of the vote. 15 points ahead of where elder is right now. so that when voters are not just wondering about whether or not who i want to vote for in the second round, but who do i want to vote for in the first round, maybe i don t necessarily want elder. that wasn t a problem for schs schwarzenegger in 2003.
