Little to stop covid deaths, and instead wreaked havoc on every aspect of our lives. Johns hopkins with a Bombshell Study that shows restrictions only reduce deaths by. 2 . At the same time, the lockdowns devastated our economy, education system, and damaged our Mental Health. All the while fueling Major Political unrest. Many of us were never given an option. Remember President Biden and Top Health Officials told us lockdowns were our only choice. President biden statewide, lockdowns that so Many Americans lived under for months were intended to buy us time to get our act together. When you have an acute situation, and extra ordinary number of cases the answer is to close things down, go back to our basics, to shut things down, the flatten the curve. The fact that we shut down when we did, and the rest of the world did, has saved hundreds of millions of infections, and millions of lives. Now, s before now, while their policies have been proven wrong once again, the white house is looking on people like joe grogan and others who question them. Our hope is all major Tech Platforms and news sources, for that matter, be responsible and vigilant to make sure the American People have access to information on something as significant as covid19. This disclaimer is positive, but we want every platform to do more. Jeanine knock downs . 2 . Lockdowns. I am looking at the collateral damages beyond what we ever thought. Greg i got to comment on jen psaki. Either she is an idiot or thinks we are, that somehow we cannot tell the difference between a 3. 5 hour podcast in which the host is high and a spokesperson for the cdc. Human beings can understand the context of the information, whether it is a conversation or something they read in the back of a pillbox. This is such a nonstory. All of these actions, these shutdowns were driven by fear. Not fear of the pandemic, but insurance claims. Fear of litigation scared more people than the pandemic. We are not stopping massive theft, because stores dont want insurance claims to go up, so they let insurance take care of it. Employees are masking up because they fear lingering employees might sue. We are locked down over lawyers. We did not want to be sued. Im not done. A lot of people arent going to let go, and that is fine. If you want to hide, go for it. If you want to mask up outside, go for it. It should be regarded as a preference. It has to be regarded as a preference. You cant tell me what to do, i wont tell you what to do, and thats the way it should be. It is amazing there isnt enough people getting out there and saying i have had enough, but maybe that will happen. Jeanine dana, when they shut us down in 2020, the people who told President Trump shut it down, shut down the economy, they got it so wrong. But, he had no choice but to listen to them. Dana we could go back in time. I remember sitting here. I had this strong memory before the show started, and everything was about to shut down and saying think of all the people that live monthtomonth in terms of their paychecks, taxi drivers. How are they going to feed themselves . You could see in your minds eye. However, there were compelling reasons, i thought when you would see News Coverage of overwhelmed hospitals. I thought if this is what we need to do to flatten the curve, we can do this. For us we were able to work from home. Fox figured out a way to make sure we could get on air. A lot of people werent able to work. Imagine if you were a mom whose daughter had a Mental Health crisis and committed suicide during the pandemic, and then you find out that john hopkins says it helped to. 2 . You will maybe never get over that. Thank goodness john hopkins did not go on joe grogans podcast to explain this. [laughter] the last thing i would say is the catastrophe overall, one for the people who died of the illness, but the people also who have had all these other longstanding effects. Covid is certainly one of them, but the people who have lost on career opportunities, educational opportunities, relationships not being able to go out and meet people. How do you make friends . Most of them out. People arent even going to work. The last point i will make is in all the Campaign Issues you are going to see in 2022, i flashed back to something trump said in 2016. Do your member the applause he got when he said this country is too politically incorrect . He had huge applause. Hes onto something. Kids continuing to have to wear schools will be the issue of 2022 that brings out parents. Not the only issue, but a flash point. May be all the kids that were masked up become republicans when they are 18. [laughter] wow. Jesse thank you dr. Fauci . [laughter] jeanine there are a couple. One of them is that omicron is not a real problem, lets cut the cord and get over it right away. The public now listens to us. If something terrible comes down the road, if there is a new variant thats more lethal, the public will listen to us. Right now, 70 of the American Public is so over it, they are not listening to the Health Expert any more. We were lied to. It said it was 15 days, ended up being 15 months. Remember, a lot of democratic governors stayed locked down, and a scaredy cats continued to. Here was dr. Faucis plan shut down the entire u. S. Economy and tell everybody to quarantine, including healthy people. Then, he didnt do anything for early treatment at all, and then he says stay inside with a mask on, and if you catch covid, wait until you cant breathe very well. Then, get yourself to a hospital and it struck yourself to a ventilator. Then, wait a couple years for a vaccine, which i get a cut from it. That is insane america has the most deaths of any country as a percentage and total. He could have come out earlier and said get outside, eat healthy, exercise. Do those things that help with early treatment. He didnt do that. Even today, doctors are still prescribing he did not create a hotline for these doctors that were on the front lines during the pandemic. Whats working, whats not working . He didnt do that. He just said wait for my vaccine and stay 6 feet apart. What he did for the world was worse. At 300 Million People plunged into poverty, starvation, malnourishment. What he did to our kids, the Supply Chains, alcoholism, drug addiction, child abuse. Think about all the Small Businesses he shut down. Its like the biggest transfer of wealth in world history. He takes 4 trillion away from workers, and then about 4 trillion goes to billionaires the billionaires and these media giants, they got super rich and more powerful, and then we just divided against each other. He screwed up the election. We all dont trust the science now, because the science was all wrong. This guy really screwed up. Before he did, harold. He is jeanine he did, harold. He is there was this massive transfer of money and power to the big box companies, while the momandpop Stores Selling the same things couldnt stay open, but the big company could. Harold i have a slightly different point of view. A year ago today, i was not vaccinated. I did not get my first shot until midmarch, and my second shot early april. I appreciate studies like this. It gives an opportunity for us to look back and understand what went right, what went wrong. Robert obrien, National Security advisor to President Trump at the time, told President Trump this is going to be the worst thing you deal with as president good was he lying . No. The president didnt get reelected because the country felt he didnt handle it correctly. Im a father of two young children, no doubt they have been impacted. Remote school, in school, remote school, now in school. I look at the economy, the country, we need to reform our health agencies, reform the way we look at getting the w. H. O. Taking part in that, taking part in studies around the globe, how we take part in efforts to strengthen the Public Health system. Two, we need to not be so reliant on Supply Chains overseas. I think we are the most important point of the Biden Administration was to make a 20 million private investment in columbus, ohio, to make Conductor Chips there. We have to modernize our ports. That has to be the most important thing we do in terms of infrastructure. We will have more studies like this. I hope my alma maters pen and michigan to something as well. Lets look at the overall takeaways. Even though it was only 0. 2 , thats 1800 families that would not have had a loved one die. We can debate whether its worth it, but i can tell you, i am glad my dad who got it in March Of 2020 that he was not one of those families and mine was not either. I am happy that many of my other friends were not either. A lot to learn from, and a lot of Chest Pounding here. At the end of the day, a lot of people deserve credit, and s before the problem is greg it will never be settled science. Jeanine we never talk about the collateral consequences. The other people who died because of the pandemic, the suicides, the alcohol, drug overdoses, the domestic violence, child abuse. There is a huge downside. It harold i still blame covid. Jeanine coming up, the liberal media rocked by scandals, and at cnns boss resigns, as Whoopi Goldberg gets suspended. Limu emu and doug. And its easy to customize your insurance at libertymutual. Com so you only pay for what you need. Isnt that right limu . Limu . Limu . Sorry, one sec. Doug blows several different whistles. Doug blows several different whistles. [a vulture squawks. ] there he is. Only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty, Liberty Harold a major controversy in the media. New reports say chris cuomo may have forced his old boss out of cnn by exposing a consensual relationship jeff zucker had with a colleague. The chief announcing his resignation today, after admitting he failed to disclose the situation. Uncovered as part of the investigation of chris cuomos tenure at the network. Greg you have strong thoughts about this network. How do you feel about this day at the network and for jeff zucker . Greg i want to thank jeff zucker for supplying this show and myself with so much amazing content. Sure, he could have gotten rid of chris cuomo a couple of years ago, got rid of the Cricket Muncher or don lemon. [laughter] he stood by these incompetents and filled me with so much quality television. I cant begin to thank him. Jesse shouldve been fired for greg exactly, dom johnson. I wanted to enjoy this story so much. I was so naive, because i thought he was getting fired over the writings. [laughter] over the ratings. [laughter] not a secret relationship over two divorced adults. Over there and ty cobb narrative, all the fake news, but this relationship doesnt register in my brain. Perhaps, it is a violation of something in Human Resources, but it is nothing compared to the Hazardous Waste that drips out of cnn every night. He should have been fired. When you think about how bad cnn got under zucker. Its a left wing station that now Tucker Carlson has more democrats watching his show. This show gets more democrats watching than cnn. He literally drank the milk shake on their home turf. Thats humiliating. [laughter] this obviously is about chris cuomo exacting revenge. This is like a Relationship Version of mutually assured destruction. When powerful people know things about other powerful people, youd better be careful. I know whats in your backyard. That is what happened. This was a takedown from chris cuomo, which makes it sad for me to enjoy it. I wanted him to be fired for the crappy product that he creates, because its a terrible, awful product that hurts people. I hope cnn starts from scratch. You keep painting of turd, it still smells really bad. Its a condo went for a quick bite. It harold i am a magic johnson. Pass to you what. Dana i found out about this at 11 oh one this morning. I said after this everybody has to watch it the five. We talk about this all the time. [laughter] you would think theres 1 million things that they would want to get rid of him for a period of think theres more. You could have weathered this p. R. Scandal. As you said, consenting adults. She is already at a high level. Its not like the president and in turn. You have to think there must have been something else. When you go back to chris cuomos statement on the day he was finally let go, he signaled of something. It was along the lines of jeff zucker doesnt know exactly whats going to be that brings him down, but i have something and i will play it when i need to. That seems to be what happened here. One other thing. I want people to meet and fall in love wherever they need. You often make people at work. You have similar [laughter] story of my life. [laughter] speech of you know what im saying here [laughter] Human Resources are weird. He says the trouble he got in is that they work he wasnt supposed to disclose it sooner. If you are two consenting adults, both divorced, not thinking this will go anywhere and you have great jobs, at what point do you know this is going somewhere, why would we talk about this if we dont need to . Human resources is overwrought. Greg see how this ruins a great story . Dana today to find us . Noah. [laughter] s before he was going at the end of the year apparently. He was out. It harold end of 21. Jeanine whether we have nothing to do with love, x marriage. The interesting thing is that katie couric wrote a book and wrote about the fact that zucker and his family an apartment right below the woman that he had an affair with, and both of them are married and had families. Who knows when it started. I dont care, but this is something that was an open secret. What i find more fascinating is that you get these people who are in positions of power, and they think they are god. If they know are violating the law, whether its andrew cuomo or journalistic integrity, chris cuomo, or the rules and regulations, whether it is jeff zucker they think i will get away with it, i am above it, i am better than everyone else. The rules dont apply to me. Thats what we are seeing. We are seeing people come down there may be more to the story with zucker, and im sure there is, but these are the people trying to convince us that we were hateful fascists. In the end, they werent following any rules. Harold jesse. Jesse if i am jeffrey shuman, im thinking wow did i dodged a bullet. [laughter] dodged a bullet. [laughter] greg he got off easy off easy. Jesse i hear there are tapes. Jeanine which cuomo . Jesse ive heard chris has recordings. If zucker fired him and let him keep the rest of his contract, maybe he wouldnt have dropped this jerk. I think he tried to fire him with cause, and that is what made him play so dirty. Right now, at t just spun off cnn into warner media. They are just like this. The whole company its open season on cnn. Doesnt have any protection, lemon has no protection. You know Jeffrey Tobin is not protected. All of their talent is looking around like i dont have zucker here. Hes not going to have my back. They might have to change the Business Model of cnn. Breaking news documentaries, and all the opinions and fake news conspiracy garbage is cut. That doesnt work as a Business Model. Greg joe rogue in. Greg joe rogan can run cnn. [laughter] dana he will buy it. Greg bennett take it over. Harold Whoopi Goldberg, the latest drama after the cohost of the view get suspended. Its still the eat fresh refresh™ and subways refreshing everything like the new baja Turkey Avocado with smashed avocado, ovenroasted turkey, and baja chipotle sauce. Its three great things together. Wait who else is known for Nailing Threes . Hmm. Cant think of anyone subway keeps refreshing and re. Jesse things not going well for the ladies at the view. Big oberg reportedly threatened to quit after getting suspended from the show for two weeks over her comment about the holocaust. What bs cohosts are said to be furious with the decision. Heres how the show briefly dressed it. He was saw the news, whoopi will be back in two weeks. Jesse is that how you do it, dana . [laughter] dana having done that. A couple of times in my career. [laughter] the producers must have said get out and move on. I dont think anybody was calling for her to be fired that i listen to that i follow, but abc, excuse me. Out amongst the employees and staff, and mustve been high enough that the executives said they felt they had to do something. This apology made it worse. Setting that aside, they suspend her for two weeks, shes probably furious about it. What do they say . We want her to reflect on it, like when your mom sent are you ready to come out yet . My sister would say i love my room. I would hate to be sent to my room, i was mortified. As a kid, that is what you feel. Jesse what about you, judge . Do you think she understands what she did wrong . Jeanine no. Jesse screw it, im just going to wait. Jeanine i dont have a hotline to whoopi these days. [laughter] heres the thing she doesnt know that she was wrong. She sees it as white race, all oppressors, and black are being the victims. Aside from that, the whole idea of her needing time to reflect and learn i think is very important. When you have antisemitic behavior, a lot of it is ignorance. They dont understand enormity of one of the greatest hate crimes the world has ever seen. When i was d. A. , i took all of the das new york state to the Holocaust Museum in wa
