[1]
i mean we should point out dude that joe
[2]
biden
[3]
is also adhering to cdc guidelines to
[6]
the degree
[7]
we still have them and on that topic i
[9]
want to bring everyone's attention to
[10]
some new reporting in the new york times
[12]
time's out with a blockbuster report
[14]
this afternoon about disturbing comments
[17]
made by the top communications
[19]
individual at the department of health
[21]
and human services
[22]
the times reports that a man named
[24]
michael caputo
[26]
said in a live video streamed on his
[28]
personal facebook page
[30]
that the centers for disease control the
[31]
cdc was harboring a quote
[34]
resistance unit determined to undermine
[36]
president trump
[38]
and this individual claims without
[40]
evidence that quote
[41]
they haven't gotten out of their
[42]
sweatpants except for meetings at coffee
[45]
shops to plot how they're going to
[46]
attack donald trump next
[48]
there are scientists who work for this
[50]
government who do not want america to
[52]
get well
[52]
not until after joe biden is president
[55]
caputo also predicted that there could
[57]
be violence after the election
[58]
saying quote when donald trump refuses
[60]
to stand down at the inauguration
[63]
the shooting will begin the drills that
[65]
you've seen are nothing
[67]
if you carry guns buy ammunition ladies
[69]
and gentlemen
[70]
because it's going to be hard to get
[73]
those comments
[74]
from that individual the most senior
[76]
communications official at hhs
[78]
follow a politico report late friday
[80]
that detailed his team's interference
[82]
with the cdc's official reports on the
[85]
pandemic and other disease outbreaks
[87]
outlining how caputo who does not have
[89]
any medical or scientific background
[92]
and a top aide routinely demanded that
[94]
the cdc revise
[96]
delay or stop publication of morbidity
[99]
and mortality weekly reports
[101]
which they believed undercut the
[103]
president's message of the pandemic is
[105]
you know totally under control politico
[107]
is reporting today
[108]
that house democrats are launching an
[110]
investigation into the allegations
[112]
in that report um this is worth spending
[116]
some time on let me start with you
[117]
dr gupta about um the comments about the
[121]
cdc
[122]
and what to me is one of the most
[123]
alarming things and we'll get into the
[125]
stock up on your guns and ammunition
[127]
in in a second um but the doctoring of
[130]
the morbidity and mortality reports what
[132]
does that
[133]
signal to you
[136]
uh nicole this should be denounced in
[138]
the strongest of terms the
[140]
nmwr the morbidity mortality reports
[143]
published by the cdc that is dogma in
[146]
most
[147]
cases for decades docs like myself my
[149]
colleagues in public health we look to
[151]
that
[152]
for guidance for early signals on on an
[155]
epidemic that might turn into a pandemic
[157]
this that's vital information i can cite
[159]
maybe 20 instances where those reports
[162]
are critical to saving american lives so
[164]
the fact that michael caputo
[166]
peter navarro you name it in this
[169]
administration scott
[170]
atlas a neuroradiologist are the
[172]
spokespeople for this administration the
[174]
fact that the fda commissioner the cdc
[177]
director the surgeon general are
[178]
enabling those individuals to have them
[181]
have the mic that says a lot they should
[183]
be resigning number one number two
[186]
these individuals should have nothing to
[187]
do with the mmwr reports
[189]
these should be dogma science based
[191]
because the rest of us
[193]
rely on it and if these were given the
[195]
platform they deserve
[196]
we would have known as the public that
[198]
maybe the china bought
[199]
this the virus come out of china cope at
[201]
19 was airborne
[202]
in early february and we could have
[204]
prepared accordingly that is the big
[206]
problem here we didn't have that
[207]
transparency we couldn't prepare
[211]
phil rucker um i'm tempted to ask how
[215]
someone like this could still have a job
[216]
if there was anyone in the bush
[218]
administration or the obama
[219]
administration or the clinton
[220]
administration
[221]
who'd said these things on a personal
[222]
facebook page or i guess in those days
[225]
um a website or or wherever you share
[227]
personal views they would be
[229]
gone the white house chief of staff
[230]
would have called over to the department
[232]
and they would be gone
[233]
and fired is there anyone
[236]
left who cares
[241]
well we'll have to see uh you know i i
[243]
am too surprised that
[244]
caputo has not been fired for those
[246]
remarks because they're simply
[248]
breathtaking
[249]
uh but you know perhaps that could
[250]
happen in the next couple of days
[252]
i don't know one thing that sticks with
[254]
me though is he is speaking to
[257]
a pattern a mindset that we've seen from
[259]
donald trump himself
[261]
from the president the last few years
[263]
there are so many echoes in what caputo
[265]
was saying
[266]
about his false conspiracies within the
[269]
centers for disease control and
[270]
prevention
[272]
that pair with the way trump would talk
[274]
about what he called the deep state
[276]
uh the conspiracies that he would harbor
[279]
about the national security community
[281]
the intelligence
[282]
community in this country the way he
[284]
would talk
[285]
privately according to our reporting
[287]
about the individuals and those
[289]
departments
[289]
a very similar mindset here and
[293]
you know we'll see it so it might just
[295]
be that the president
[296]
uh sees caputo as an ally and wants him
[299]
still in this government this is
[300]
somebody caputo is
[301]
who worked on the president's 2016
[304]
campaign he ran communications for a
[306]
period
[306]
under paul manafort when manafort was
[308]
the campaign chairman
[310]
