There are not many people on
Fox News, who are trying to get
people to take a pandemic
seriously, so I feel like we should
support those who do even if we
often disagree with them.
Geraldo over there is one example,
he's worried about how COVID is
going in Florida.
But you're going to watch in this
video, as he tries to get
the people on the panel with him to
take it seriously.
Here is how they greet that.
>> On Tuesday in Florida,
there were over 16,000 new COVID
infections.
Yesterday, Wednesday in
Florida [CROSSTALK] nearly 17000,
[CROSSTALK].
>> [CROSSTALK] every older person
he used every state agency
now this is not [INAUDIBLE].
>> This has nothing to do with Joe
[CROSSTALK] yesterday.
>> Dan.
>> Geraldo, [INAUDIBLE] said this,
he doesn't know the numbers I live
here in Florida is 2016 [CROSSTALK]
COVID deaths per hundred.
>> Dan, [INAUDIBLE].
>> It's not my fault.
You never know
what you're talking about.
It's not my fault.
>> You're so full of crap.
>> [INAUDIBLE] Anything before you
come on air.
>> You are so full of it, that's
why I hate coming on with you.
>> Folks please look for us.
[CROSSTALK] >> You are just
a cheapshot, [CROSSTALK] >> To
prove how silly this guy is.
>> All right you have that
[CROSSTALK] >> Geraldo,
let Dan talk.
Geraldo. Dan.
>> He doesn't like to do
that Shawn,
because he always gets caught never
knowing what he's talking about.
>> Speak of facts,
stick to the story.
>> And his position on the border I
did stick to the facts.
>> I'm embarrassed to be
[INAUDIBLE] with you,
that's why I'm embarrassed.
>> Okay, so he's asserting there's
17,000 cases Dan Bongino,
doesn't bring actual numbers
there's no receipts, he just says
that Geraldo is wrong and
never does any research.
So, what do you think happened?
[LAUGH] >> Geraldo was right there.
So yeah, Geraldo points out
Tuesday, Florida suffered over
17,000 new COVID cases.
On Wednesday,
saw another 17,000 new cases.
I was right Dan Bongino as usual
was full of cannoli's,
I don't know.
And he owes me $1,000 speaking of
bull, whatever,
popular Ron DeSantis better
stop gas lighting and pay attention
to his afflicted state.
But I think that's where
he gotten the most trouble,
was implying that Rhonda Santas
should do more, Hennedy said,
he saved every older person.
Well, not all of them,
I looked it up.
They lost over 39,400 people in
Florida, some of them older.
And it's actually Biden, that's
causing the cases to come in.
But there's no next step to and so
what should we do about it?
Let's say that Biden is bringing in
a whole bunch of diseased illegal
immigrants.
Do you want to wear masks?
Do you want to do a lockdown?
You want to get people vaccinated?
No, you don't want to do anything.
That's weird.
That's a weird response.
But anyway, I do want to hear what
both of you think maybe
as you're giving your commentary,
we can show people, these charts of
how bad it's getting in Florida.
We've got info on the cases,
hospitalizations, and
deaths as well.
>> So a couple of quick
points here.
So Bongino is like he did have
a fake chat,
I'm going to correct you.
So, I live here.
>> [LAUGH] Okay.
>> Okay, but we were looking for
a pertinent fact, something that's
relevant to the discussion.
I live here and I looked around and
I didn't see 70,000 cases of COVID
because I didn't go to any of
the hospitals or the websites or
do any research.
And then which gets to my main
point that segment there was
a textbook case of gaslighting.
What Fox News does is they bring in
a guy who actually did bother to do
the research and is actually right
and you think well that's good.
That's positive, right?
By the way,
I give you the exact numbers.
It was 70,629 and 70,757.
So Geraldo had actually
underestimated by a little bit.
>> And yesterday was over 18,000.
>> Yeah, and so
they bring him in and
then they gang up on him.
And there's the cases
in Florida skyrocketing, right?
They gang up on him and, and they
make him look like the crazy guy.
>> Yep.
>> [LAUGH] This guy with numbers,
everybody knows that numbers
aren't true, but
living somewhere is what makes you
know all the facts there, right?
And then in the old line like kind
of laugh at me like, there
goes Geraldo with facts, right?
And so the audience comes away from
that segment if they're not savvy
and trust me, they're not savvy,
thinking, yeah, look at that
Geraldo embarrassed himself there.
Bongino and Hannity agreed that
the overwhelming majority of
the people on TV agree that Florida
doesn't have any problem at all.
Okay, and Desantis is great, I love
how Hannity panicked there because
he thinks Santos might run for
president let alone supporting him
as important governor.
And he said, this is not best for
Santos.
Yeah, don't bash him with facts
okay, this is propaganda.
He says I mean and but
I give credit to Fox that is that's
pretty good gas lighting there.
>> No and
the funny thing is Desantos he
seems to deflect by talking about
Mexico when confronted about
the rising COVID rates,
but Florida is a peninsula.
[LAUGH] >> You don't share a border
with Mexico.
>> [LAUGH] Did you check that?
Did you check,
let's bring up a map?
>> Well, we're not trusting books
around these parts.
So I don't know.
>> I know it's so it's so
ridiculous.
I mean, I get maybe Greg Abbott
could try to make that case again,
I would say,
let's say that you're right.
So now what?
So now, nothing, that's it's
that doesn't make any sense, but
they're also wrong.
The problem with Louisiana,
the problem with Missouri,
the problem with Oklahoma,
the problem with Florida is not its
proximity to the Mexican border.
