we are waiting for that to come out. if you see a tail wagging coming out of the briefing room coming on the something bad will happen. gillian: that was white house press secretary jen psaki that news of a new white house pet would only come essentially when the white house press team wanted to distract america from a very bad news day. so now we are learning that the first family has a new puppy, meat commander. he s awfully cute. he s a german shepherd given to the president as a birthday gift from his brother and sister-in-law. the other rescue dog named major is going to be re-hummed with family friends after a whole handful of biting incidents at the white house. first lady jill biden said a cat will also join the family in january, so 1600 pennsylvania is going to be mighty crowded. nothing distracts like a good
to get vaccinated as opposed to passing blame. secondly, it is really to expand testing. we have to realize that testing is one of the most critical public health tools that we have. regular, repetitive, once or twice a week testing, people that are at high risk for infection. i particularly think in our schools k-12 we should be testing kids once or twice a week and removing the infected person, an approach that is our strategy of identifying knowledge of infection rather than these generic strategies. let s just assume everybody s infected, let s assume everybody has to do this. no, let s go down and use the tools we have and diagnose. gillian: sorry to interrupt you. i want to pick up on a point that it was a moment ago. he said you think the omicron variant is going to require a fourth shot of boosters further down the road. talk to us about that. that seems like news to me. gillian, if you take blood from a vaccinated individual like myself i do ask that blood
effective in either preventing you from getting infected and the first place, or if you get infected, keeping you from getting sick enough to feel symptomatic or have to go to the hospital. i think it the power of science is enormous here, and we shoulde very optimistic. but it is going to take, i think, a very concentrated effort to accelerate the debt element of these antivirals. gillian: the biden administration is following cdc guidance here that says you can get a booster shot, that you are eligible if you have your second vaccine shot in six months or longer ago. right connect we now know that in europe, a lot of countries, folks are getting booster shots in as little as three months. if the president s priority is getting everyone the maximum amount possible, why aren t we loosening the guidelines, whatever you want to call it connect decreasing the timeline
the failed policies, we are seeing millions of people flooding this country illegally. amongst those millions of people, inevitably, there are hardened criminals and potential terrorists coming into our country, and all of us are going to pay the cost. not just tomorrow, not just next month, but for a generation as a result of what the biden administration and the enablers in u.s. congress like chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, and cartel kelly, as a result of what they are doing, people men, women, and children are going to die in this country. gillian: got to leave it there. mark brnovich, thanks so much for your time. mike? mike: gillian, the new york times is under fire for a column praising wendy weingarten. declaring the chief a champion of the opening schools despite her past efforts to keep them closed. charlie hurt will join us on that. gillian: plus, senate democrats reportedly ready now to take a hard line with
the grounds that he had the most experience in washington. and that is 36 years in the senate, that meant that he could get things done. that seems to have been thrown overboard as he let bernie sanders and aoc drive the agenda. they are just alienating people, and i am surprised they have made it this personal, especially we are only two year one of the biden presidency. if he alienates joe manchin now and they lose control of the senate come next november, things are going to look very different. gillian: what about on the flip side? what is manchin s teacher in the democratic party looking like? less than a year income he s already not in the president s d graces anymore. does that make them any less effective in terms of his own constituents? no, he is in the seat, he s in the 50th vote. they can huff and puff all they want but they can t blow him down. he is also representing west virginia fairly ably.
