He's in our prayers this morning
because he announced that he tested
positive for COVID yesterday.
He has been vaccinated and
still got COVID but
I think he's doing okay.
He's planning on getting
the Regeneron.
>> No symptoms, he said.
>> What's interesting though is if
you don't get vaccinated and you go
to the hospital, most of the time,
you're going to get Regeneron.
But Regeneron,
are the antibodies, so
basically still getting vaccinated
because they're sticking you with
an antibody >> Antibodies and what
if you can't get the vaccination,
you have to shelter in place now
like an American in Afghanistan.
And if you don't, these people
the worst these inspectors,
they're going to come blitzing
in the air these health inspectors,
they're going to find you $1,000
for your first offense.
Think about what everybody's been
forced to do in the hospitality
industry $1,000 for
your first offense, and it's
going to go up to 2,500 after that.
>> Well, he could be right.
It could actually force people or
convince people to go ahead and
get vaccines so
that they don't go to these places.
>> People make their own decisions.
You shouldn't get the mayor making
your medical decisions.
>> Well, if he had talked to him,
he'd say, he would say
it's a public health crisis.
>> Who wants to talk to him?
>> Well, he's the mayor, you said.
>> Okay, so I'm just going to point
out that's about as tense as Fox
and Friends ever get
between Kilmeade and do see there.
But there Kilmeade was responding
to the fact that the vaccine
mandates for certain types of
establishments in New York City
have now gone into effect.
So if you want to go to a theater,
or restaurant, gyms,
things like that,
you do have to be vaccinated and
obviously he's not a fan of that.
But there were
a couple points there Jr that
I think we have to get into.
So first of all,
they're not doctors,
they're not experts.
They would never give you medical
advice, that is the cop out
that a lot of people on Fox use,
although I noticed that
Ainsley Earhardt just said, well,
if you get sick and get Regeneron,
that's vaccination.
No, that's not bad at all.
What are you talking about that
that's vaccination?
I thought you weren't an expert.
You're not going to speak
definitively about medical stuff.
That is massive misinformation
right there.
>> Even their favorite president
talked about all these different
these treatments that you got to
have this treatment, so
that it can't be the same
thing even if you have this glib
view of what vaccines are in
versus what treatment is
after you've get the virus.
I don't know how she misses that or
maybe she doesn't miss it.
I don't know because the whole
point she was trying to make there
was so you still might be getting
vaccinated when you go into
the hospital when you get this
Regeneron.
So she's pooh-poohing on Regeneron
not realizing it because she has
something to say that's anti what's
happening here, is to downplay
the severity of the things that
are happening because there's so
many irresponsible folks and
Kilmeade needs that.
I'm so tired.
This is anger for someone who wants
to do something different to change
things for the general public and
the spread of this virus.
You see it happening but yeah,
sure, just let it go wrong.
And now these restaurants,
these poor restaurants, they could
be charged because they're not
doing things for the public health.
Can you believe it?
We've never seen anything like this
in the country before >> Yeah.
>> The restaurants get monitored by
the government to make sure that
they're not having
any health issues.
And there's no nasty rats running
through the kitchen.
And there's not rat poop
everywhere, and there's not roaches
under the table.
My god, what next?
They're going to have some grading
system done by the government.
[LAUGH] >> Local government to show
that the restaurant is disgusting
or not, and whether or
not they are spreading disease.
We've never seen anything like
this in the country before.
>> Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
Like the freedom thing.
This is a political movement that
wants to find you if your pants
sag, you think they care about your
freedom to make your own decisions.
That's not what they're mostly
worried about there.
But continued credit.
Our man, Steve Doocy, who is
actually not just implying again,
hey, maybe you should get
vaccinated that'd be a good thing,
but defending a Democratic Mmayor
for doing a vaccine mandate.
I'm mostly joking and
certainly I'm exaggerating.
But he is going to get hate for
that.
And not just saying that your
vaccine which most of them
are scared to even do let alone
encouraging someone to get vaccine
when suppose you're not supposed
to do that.
But vaccine mandates
are the most controversial thing.
And we were talking about this
during our production call earlier
why is it that Regeneron is
the thing that they all focus on,
Ainsley is all
excited about Regeneron.
Why get vaccinated?
You can get Regeneron.
Texas is talking it up to Santas.
Last week I think it was doing
this whole tour about how great
Regeneron is and everything.
And I think it's just, they know
that they need to act like they
care or that they're doing
something, but there are certain
pathways that they can't go down.
They can't encourage masking or
social distancing
because their base will hate them.
They certainly can't tell you
the most effective thing that
you should do,
which is getting vaccinated because
their base will hate them.
They haven't yet
been encouraged to hate Regeneron.
And I don't know that they will,
because Trump took that very
publicly.
And so that has been walled off as
a thing that is safe to talk about.
You can acknowledge that
the disease is bad and
cures are needed, as long as you
constrain your commentary
Regeneron will allow that for now.
We'll see.
The right wing grift is
always expanding,
always looking to purify itself.
Maybe Regeneron will be
encapsulated under that at some
point, but right now that's the one
thing that they can agree on.
>> Well, >> Definitely get
Regeneron.
>> Well, with that talk,
I guarantee you,
follow the money you might find
that Regeneron is connected to
a lot of these folks bank accounts.
>> Yeah. >> Just that's just
speculation.
>> Well, that yeah, that came up in
our production meeting as well.
I forget exactly who it was.
It was some big donor,
I think to the Santas.
But anyway is one of the principal
donors for that anyway, check
that I don't remember specifically,
but certainly, yeah.
And it's interesting that questions
about who's going to make big money
off of so many people needlessly
needing Regeneron when they could
avoid the whole thing by being
vaccinated.
They're not going to talk
about that.
But there's a full court press
now against the booster shots
which have been announced with
Donald Trump, hosts on Fox and
others saying this is all a massive
Big Pharma scam to make more money.
Which, I mean, I don't put anything
past Big Pharma, but this seems
like a convenient way for
them to attack vaccinations
by pretending to attack Big Pharma.
>> Isn't anyone >> Do they want
insulin prices regulated?
If you're worried
about profiteering?
No, you don't, just this one time.
>> Yeah. >> So faked >> Isn't
it weird how Conservatives like to
talk about how everyone's trying to
make money off of these things?
But they're the only ones
who aren't.
Somehow everyone else is trying
to make money off of trying to
help people.
But they're trying, but
they're not trying to make money
off of not helping people by
giving people a middle finger and
saying get out of here.
And then pushing in new different
things and options that don't make
a lot of sense because that's not
a way of making money.
It's in broad daylight but
they could, don't just say
the opposite thing and everyone is
supposed to look that way and go,
it must be them over there.
Not the people right in
front of me.
>> Yeah,
okay, well, we're going to see what
happens with Governor Abbott.
I'm assuming thanks to
a combination of vaccination which
is your best bet to stay safe,
as well as the Dr.
Johnny bananas monkey beds,
I think he's going to be just fine,
but we will be tracking
it day by day and we will see.
We'll also see if it leads to
him changing his tune
a little bit about COVID in Texas.
I remember what happened
with Trump. So,
I'm not holding my breath on that.
