I had a very busy day today. Jeff arranged for me to brief both the house and the Senate via
zoom on the latest in the COVID situation. In addition , I joined the first gentleman Greg Emhoff
in discussing with a bunch of young communicators the importance of their work in getting their
young peers vaccinated. This is the second time that I have done an event with the first
gentleman. In addition, I met by zoom with Kathy Russell the head uh White House personnel to
debrief her on the interviews I did with FDA candidates James Hildreth and Sudip Parikh.
During the debriefing when they asked me if there were any other candidates that I would
recommend, I strongly recommended Zeke Emanuel. However, as usual there was a concern
about the fact that he can be a bit of a loose cannon. This is unfortunate since he is a very
talented guy , intellectually brilliant, and very visionary. He is also a good friend.

The nonsense of the far right in trying to discredit me continues. A day does not go by
without either the far right GOP congressman or senator criticizing me and even calling for my
removal together with the far right media , particularly FOX, being sharply critical of me in
every respect.
