that person survive cancer. it is not, oh, let s put 100% of our efforts into stopping whatever the carcinogen was in the first place. that is great. we would love to stop carcinogens. that is not the real world. people get sick. we treat the sick. we don t ignore the sickness. carley: you re absolutely right. the fact more politicians are not saying what governor ron desantis just said with dan bongino yesterday, i honestly find it infuriating because it makes so much sense. the washington post has a headline, with omicron it may be harder to tell if you have covid the common cold or flu. one doctor says that he is hearing an increased number of patients who have sneezing, stuffy heads, scratch think throats, things associated with common cold and only to get a covid test they turn out covid positive. if everyone has the opportunity to become vaccinated and omicron
sooner. not be saddled with a lot of debt ultimately you and i, rest of the american people will be on the hook for if the progressives keep pushing, ultimately win this notion of debt forgiveness. will? will: you know this touches on two conversations that are near and dear to my heart. first of all, carley, to your point, what does canceling or extending the pause on student loan debt have to do with the pandemic at this point? what is the correlation? what is the relationship whatsoever? it only goes to show our response to the pandemic has been an excuse not about our health, an excuse to employ or put into place policies you wanted anyway. everywhere i look across the world, not just the united states of america i see authoritarian overreach as opportunity because of the pandemic. not in a solution to the pandemic. make the case for me why student loan debt should be paused because of omicron? i can t see it. second really quickly, i talk about it on the will cain
thought and your thought, carley, it doesn t bode well for what is coming down the pike, even though as we reported on at least with omicron it is much less deadly according to initial reports. that is a frightening harbinger of things to come. meantime a lot of people who watch this channel probably think joe manchin saved christmas. not this op-ed in the hill. quote, miserly man chen stole christmas and hope from american families. the headline right there. it reads as follows in the text, manchin has denied struggling families vital economic support which they desperately need. his role as a democratic obstacle, a democratic obstacle on spending proposals took priority over his compassion to help struggling americans make ends meet including those in his own state. he should be ashamed. the problem with that, will and carley, he actually saved american families including american families going forward

shameful, that we don t have a conversation about treatment. what do you do about people who are sick with covid. the answer from dr. anthony fauci touch and federal government, what are you talking about? were they vaccinated? todd: to your point yesterday. we had a good analogy, we re trying to stop the wind, especially when it comes to omicron. omicron is presenting itself like a cold that every single person in this world is going to get at some point. and so the focus now does need to be on therapeutics. if you get it, how do we keep you alive regardless of whether you had one vaccine, two vaccines, boosters, whatever is coming down the pike. and that is a crucial thing that some politicians are talking about. others are not. one that is, governor ron desantis. take a listen. starting with people like
