for watching and we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: to mask or not to mask? is still a question. democrat leaders finally peeling back covered mandate, five states including california new york no longer requiring masks indoor. the mandate remains in place, poor children eight hours a day of school while five other cities opted to unmask everyone despite criticism the decisions our political mark doctor anthony fauci says it's not and

they are just following the signs. >> do you think the local politics when it comes to these and they start overwriting the signs were largely no? >> i wouldn't say it's politics, different evaluation of what right for a particular community. when you use the word politics, are not so short that, i think at the local level there's a strong feeling of needing to get facts to normality. kennedy: you and needing to get back on television, the mandates have never been about the size and three done states changing the rules, the cdc has not loosened mask guidance at all. rochelle walensky has this to say. >> if and when when we update guidance, we will communicate that clearly. based on the data and signs. however, it's also important to remember regardless of but level of disease burden in your community, there still are

important times to continue to wear your mask. kennedy: you can see the fear in her eyes, even she's still shocked she has that job. the cdc and doctor patrick pleading from behind, is the talk of the american public to move on without them make the follow the signs crowd follow us? tonight's panel, senior policy analyst temperature better federalist, inez stepman is back along with fox news political analyst, juan williams. great to see you. the foundation for economic education, cofounder of basic politics, brad polumbo, welcome, everyone. what an exciting time to be confused. i keep going into all of these stores and restaurants and everyone is wearing a mask but i think we don't have a mask mandate that the masks if you

walk around without a mask, parents are still glaring at you and you can still catch a, here or there, what is doctor fauci saying? >> i saw somebody in a face shield outside on the way over here so definitely a lot of people voluntarily . kennedy: are they coming back to the ranger's? sorry, got excited about that. >> probably. i do think it's important to realize who the mandates are not going back for because it says a lot more about who has power in the democratic party, teachers unions where for example adults, happy fun times for adults either in the super bowl which is massless, everybody party for the bars of new york, i am all in favor of all about but children remain masks in a bunch of the cities even ask mandates rollback and that's because of the power of the teachers union. kennedy: shed some wine on this, i know you analyze a lot of

data, why is it safe for adults elbow to elbow in a bar or restaurant or sporting event massless yet socially distanced who don't contract the virus at the same rate or transmit it, they are bound to mask rolls in school. why the disconnect? >> i am unaccustomed to agreeing with you but i think i agree with you generally especially i think what fauci said was political and i think he realized the wind is blowing in the other direction on this and why you see blue state governors and mayors deciding they want to loosen restrictions. the super bowl, they had rules who could getting, who had to show you had been vaccinated and boosted if you want testing sites were right there to make

sure he did not have the virus event you could not wear the mask. with regard to children, i think of a child -- i am a grandparent, i worry about kids i know some of you are parents, i just think if a child is immunocompromised, has illness, i think you should care about the other child as well as your own child. kennedy: the child hit is immuno compromised should wear a mask and that is her choice the family pediatrician and parent make, i'm all for that. anyone needs special protection because we still are in the pandemic, omicron is waning, you cannot argue that but people who are skeptical, they are the ones who should be masking, not dictating the rules for the rest of us but brad, this is a very unpopular issue for democrats right now, every day we are getting closer and closer to midterms so you have all of these mayors and governors doing

abrupt about face and not listening to the cdc or doctor fauci, isn't that by definition political? >> no, they are definitely following the signs but it's the political science and outside of the democratic state, masking children schools is not popular because it not about following the size. if it was about calling for signs, it's the people at risk and adults, not children unless they have a rare pre-existing condition at risk of death so close to zero it's impossible to actually estimate. the schools are not hotbeds of transmission yet you can go out to all sorts of places without a mask. if the mandate have ever been about following the signs, they wouldn't treat a cross mask that does nothing, even a cnn dr. has

admitted it's a virtue signal, they would not have equated that with n95 mask that does protect you from covid so it's never about following the signs doctor fauci is hardly the only one following the politics. kennedy: that message, they are following the polls, they have to if they want jobs but that's not how we should have policy ever. the party panel will stick around from have much to get to in the show but right now in san francisco, a win for parent after three school board members have been recalled. god bless california and the recall system, all three criticized for putting their far left agenda ahead of students during the pandemic. the kids were suffering at home, they were focused on renaming 44 schools because of loose ties to racism. even london previous praising the recall efforts because she knows she's in deep yogurt so will this board finally focus on kids and learning?

could we seek more recall efforts across the country? here to discuss federalist cup under fox news picture butter, then, great to see you. >> great to see you as well, kennedy and i think you laid out the situation in san francisco very well, what's amazing is we are used to east and west coast rivalries, used to parents and voters and citizens disagreeing across the country but i think what you saw in san francisco with angry parents is a reminder whether you are on the right or left mark you are still a parent first, someone who cares about your kids and the experience of many of these voters had to make these parents have seen experience their kids went through, seeing a school board woefully unprepared are only interested in racial virtue signaling were not really dealing with any of the problems they had that impacted kids there were consequences for the california system, it rare i come on and say i want something exported from california to the

rest of the nation, i'd love to see the recall approach allowed under their system exported across america because it's a system that would demand accountability from people removed from it for far too long. kennedy: and you pointed out left-leaning publication has been saying this is just wealthy parents scaremongering because they want their kids to get into high priority public schools but it's not about that democrats so closely aligned, they have to be careful coming into the midterms because they didn't wait for the school board members to be done with their term, they threw them out they only throughout three because they could not the only three vulnerable to a recall right now and there is no word that describes the hue of blue in san francisco and they are fed up, london breed, she is on

board with drawing these people out because people are leaving san francisco and gross, but can't find it of you house for people to get out of the city. >> truly widespread ideological coalition of progressives, liberals and leftists who got together to throw them out. that really should be assigned a lot of folks in the teachers unions for so long in the democratic coalition need to question whether it something healthy for them, not just in the upcoming midterms but long-term. he got a situation in san francisco with thousands of kids pulled out of the system because parental frustration and more in a school system that didn't want to cut back on their budget despite shortfalls they were facing. you had a host of angry parents without a number of different issues, it wasn't just one but it comes back to accountability, responsibility and actually

listening to voters as opposed to talking down to them and trying to shut them up or squash them with different approaches as we've seen in virginia or san francisco, parent that up headed into this midterm wanting to make their voices heard. kennedy: and they want school twice but also in san francisco, we've only got a couple of seconds, the d.a. is also up for recall, is he and deep yogurt? >> i think it's a sign that should have everyone scared in terms of positions of authority, people do not like direction of the country and i do believe there are going to be consequences for the d.a. and other das across the country who have gone too far and gone too far in pushing an agenda the people who elect them have decided doesn't work. kennedy: fair up the mountain on that. thank you so much, great analysis. >> great to be with you. kennedy: new york city mayor

eric adams blaming bad press coverage on you guessed it racism. his new york doomed to terrible politicians? larry sharp is here to lay down liberties, and exciting announcement in. ♪♪ i earn 5% cash back on travel purchased through chase with chase freedom unlimited. i earn 5% on our cabin. hello cashback! hello, kevin hart! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. one of the worst things about a cold sore is how it can make you feel. but, when used at the first sign, abreva can get you back to being you in just 2 and a half days. be kinder to yourself and tougher on your cold sores.

once upon a time, at the magical everly estate, landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone.

i will cry you a river. democrat parties strategy, when in doubt, new york city mayor eric adams new on the job and unloaded on yesterday for coverage of failures to reduce the city's crime epidemic. >> i am a black man. but my story has been interpreted for people who don't like me. how many black editorial boards, how many blocks determine how the stories are written ask anybody talk about my government diversification in the newsrooms? kennedy: a little defensive there, mr. mayor. sure people are stabbed and beaten to death on subways followed into their homes but he has a real victim.

is this a deflection from a terrible state of the city? why can't new york seem to have a single effective politician who is not a whining whiner? with me and studio tonight, insulting host of the sharp show, but to have you back. >> so happy to be here, it's crazy, you are right. the reason why new york state hasn't elected the right people is because they haven't elected me yet. if they would elect me, it would be okay but this is a perfect example how the left and right paradigm, as long as we fight each other, we don't have to solve anything so long as i can blame the other, i am got so mad at me because i'm black, it's racism and i don't have to solve anything or a culture war or don't like me because i'm left or right, i don't solve anything, i just keep saying the other but guy is bad. kennedy: they are no longer subject to criticism, we have to be able to criticize our leaders

because we have high expectations and reasonable demands to live in a safe city, used to be safe. de blasio ran it into the ground, press hated de blasio, he's a big idiot. things are happening fast enough because people are scared and a lot of people are suffering. eric adams may be right, right editorial boards of the post the daily news but he's got to do his job regardless of who's working. >> the issue here isn't whether he's right or wrong, it's no infrastructure to make anything happen. there is no culture to fix anything from you have to have a culture based on solutions, how do i fix something? how do i make it happen? when iran for governor, that's all i talked about, how do we fix school from k-12 decatur trenton? how do we change how we do taxation and raise money for infrastructure? these are ideas i came up with in 2018.

it's why, if i may, i can announce right now i'm going to run in 2022. this year, it's official i will be running for governor here in new york to make more changes and make things work even better and give more ideas to new yorkers can actually vote for somebody. kennedy: you happen shot out of a cannon, six times as much support in the polls now than you did in 2018 and we are at the beginning of your candidacy so you talk about schools, a lot of what you talked about was theoretical in 2018 but it's actual now and 2022 and that alone, if you capitalize on that the right way, the arizona senate passed a bill soleimani follows suit and that system. >> and the funny thing is 2018 i can say i told you show a lot. i'm on record with what i said, what was wrong and failing it's clear i have something else on top, he talked about san

francisco and how coalition got together to knock out the establishment. that is what i'm doing, not only am i going to be libertarian but also on the forward line. kennedy: andrew young's party. >> yes, he's on board. not just that, the unite party, unite also a live here. we are having a lawsuit on how to make that happen that means i will be on three separate plans, three separate lines. that's more than the governor will be on. that is a coalition, i set out is the only person who could bring in the left and right and now i've proven it. we can have a human centered economy, and economy that brings new yorkers back and save our state and and the exodus in make it a great place to live. kennedy: far enough independence and liberty minded people not just new york but across the country and they are desperate

for something, someone to say no, we can make this better. this isn't just a pie-in-the-sky laundrie list of things that will never be accomplished, these are real tasks you've laid out and you did a great job in 2018, can't wait to see what you do in 2022, thank you for announcing this. >> larry sharp.com if you want to check me out, sign up, it's not just me running, shane hazel is running in georgia, many are trying to pick fix things that it's larry sharp.com, it starts with an e and a stands for . kennedy: everything under the sun -- >> delectable. kennedy: that's right. [laughter] let's make that happen. great to talk to you. coming up, bernie sanders, he knows i blame gas prices. i got to work on that. he says gas prices are corporate greed, not biden.

i'll tell you why this halfwit is actually have to write. my memo is next. ♪♪

kennedy: leave it to dumb russia to scrimmaging up, last night was the olympics and tonight it gas. bernie sanders says is not inflation but corporate greed. got to stop doing the fauci. i can't do it. [laughter] asked prices are sent skyward and gas pricing is notoriously opaque. it's really easy for energy cartel to huddle together to keep things tight and prices up but it's not the only factor oil account for about half the cost of what you pay at the pump, russia puts out about 10% of the global oil supply and ukraine shenanigans have spooked the price of crude up 1.6% today to 94th daughter dollar and 84

cents. the very thought of them being marred is enough to give nellie's i get. democrat senators and braces are floating the idea of a gas tax holiday which were quickly lower fuel prices a bit and for political points. don't tell the commies squad best, people actually like it when they pay your taxes and things are affordable. if you did back long-term, you can create new entitlements and go on multitrillion dollar spending, you have to drastically reduce the size of government and the people keep your own money, that means you have to trust them to make their own decisions. the voters are dumb minding from these states so we can't have that, right omar? until we get off this fossil fuel addiction an alternative energy sector floors and save the world, the u.s. will have to pick up the pieces without liquid natural gas. we are the new lead global

supplier, barbara batt, saudi arabia. europe likes cleaner because it's cheaper than the pink russian that putin is selling and wait until they get their hands on nuclear reactors, unicorns eat your parts out. combustion engines until we found a solution, we can't unnaturally back ourselves into a corner by limiting energy supply for refinery options. why energy prices suck, my hope is some genus, hopefully libertarian uses physics brain and limited social skills to come up with plentiful clean energy so we can tell all these tyrants from russia to go away and have their own but. until then, ride a bike, bow a tesla and stop electing domestic version of energy tyrants who say big dumb government is a

dilution to every problem they create. and that's the memo. here's a tweet from bernie sanders has republicans rolling their eyes. shock, shock, gas prices at the highest seven years while chevron shall making nearly 25 billion in profits last quarter, the highest in over seven years. the problem is not inflation, it's corporate greed. the profiteering. of course the problem is never inflation according to democrats but then why weren't the corporations just as greedy under president trump? none of it makes sense, the party panel is back. and as stemming from a on williams and brad polumbo. people do not like high gas prices, the two things i know people hate. high gas prices mask. >> it half true as you said,

it's not bully inflation, inflation is a factor but even a larger factor is the fact that democrat policies have increased regulations and the lower the incentive to actually create more natural gas. this is something totally predictable, if you go back and google, you can see all kinds of "wall street journal" and forbes article written we have a gas price this winter because of the policies and then start between russia and ukraine is additionally raising gas prices but ultimately the solution to a lot of these things is for america embrace the fact that we have an enormous -- reservoir -- sorry. enormous resources here in america and we don't need to rely on vladimir putin and we don't need to rely on riyadh as you said, we have enormous domestic reserves basically we are deciding because of us not to top it hurts consumers, particularly people who can't afford a giant gas bill. kennedy: and the gas tax, that

is not a long-term solution because democrats aren't ready take a holiday from taxes long-term anytime soon, sadly. >> i don't think anybody wants to do that, it would be a temporary fix -- i don't think anybody wants to say we don't have a government, we don't pay taxes and the reality is here, i do think bernie is onto something when he says there's a lot of greed by these big companies, i think they understand they can squeeze us so of course government regulation is reality, you can make the argument about the balance between developing alternative energy and i think you said that, we do need to develop more clean energy at the rate in which we do it but you have to understand these big companies know that right now there's nobody to fight them back, they do what they want to and i think it is ridiculous.

i think even republican governors don't want you drilling off their shores. kennedy: i wouldn't mind, brad, you? >> i think this entire notion is silly. in 2020 gas prices were under $2. corporations feeling generous and extra nice giving every american a discount, of course not. that's not how prices work with art bernie, this is not how economics works. corporations are just as greedy five years ago as they were today. there are a lot of factors that go into gas prices, some are international and beyond any president control but it has something to do with inflation, something to do with anti- energy policies, absolutely nothing to do with corporate greed, it's just a convenient deflection for democrat. kennedy: and these energy policies will not only hurt our economy, it will hurt people,

the free market coming up with solutions that will truly save the planet. we are beholden to this idea of the green new deal but they don't have a basic grasp of economics and when the understand economics and human beings and you want to help people and lift them out of poverty and give a proliferation of choices including the stuff we are to have the stuff we will one day have that will only get quickly if government gets out of the way. meanwhile if using president biden is out of his mind now, wait until you hear about his early years. yesterday he shared it was our anecdote in local government. listen to this. >> i got a call one night in a woman said to me obviously not the same persuasion as i was politically and called me and said a dead dog on my lawn and i said i'll get it in the morning and she said i want removed now, i pay your salary. [laughter] so i went over.

[laughter] i picked it up and she said i want it out of my front yard and i put it on her doorstep. [laughter] b2 ha ha, ha ha. wow, they are really eating that up. you can tell his minors are behind him, gosling clonazepam. the original antifa. is this what democrats meant by putting the adult back in charge? pto. >> every time he tells a story, you have to guess whether it's actually true or line it is usually worse if he's not lying. this is definitely that category but one of the things the guardian story that went viral over these comments is it point out that this part of his speech, in response to saying why he ran for senate because it was too difficult dealing with

problems like dead dogs on lawns so he sailed up into the senate. i think it says a lot about career politicians in this country and what caliber they are when they decide to run for senate. kennedy: so you've covered a lot of presidents, democrat, republican, bernie sanders when he ran as an independent, if you were sitting down with president biden, would you tell him to leave at that dock on the doorstep anecdote in the speech? >> no, i think for biden, he sees it as authentic and inez picks up on this, a lot of politicians picking up the trash and the dog in the rest of it and i think that is true. don't tell for the reason apparently people see this as indicative back curator, i think it is just young people in politics do this all the time

but i don't know, i'll leave it to you to interpret as you like. kennedy: i feel like dogs are sacred, brad. i love them -- >> the dog was dead. kennedy: yeah but still don't put it on a map latest doorstep, that's weird and cruel, sick. if he's reliving that, that's something that gives him jollies and maybe we should rethink a few things. >> i think it is funny, it reminds me of the corn pop story where you have no idea if it's true, i honestly think it's hilarious, it is bizarre and weird not what i want want my elected official to do but that's joe biden for you. for me, this is something more important, the fact that we need to stop electing 80-year-old to be president, we should not have your great grandpa rambling about crazy stories from 1940

when he's the president of the united states and in charge of the nuclear codes and regulating everything about our lives. we need a maximum age of the presidency and we need it yesterday because we cannot people this backward looking agent in charge of this country for too much longer. kennedy: two things are really scary here, one is he said i used to give people my number, they don't even have a phone anymore. who are they? i really want to know who. when he references they, who are they? number two, he is making the decisions. someone who is cuckoo loco is making the decisions. he's got his little bony fingers hovering above a nuclear football like at the ouija board. that is terrifying to everyone. party panel, it's nice talking to all of you. brad, handsome as ever. thank you all. coming up, troops gathering

along the border even though putin promised to pull back. if this cold war about to heat up? later on, this is molly waving her tail. hi, everybody. playing along. ♪♪

promising fall back from of the u.s. and nato are not buying it. precious ambassador today are short there would be no escalation in the coming week or the week after that for the coming months but surprise surprise, moscow's word is not matching their actions. russia amassed about 150,000 he's from up north and south of ukraine while russian sponsored header attacks continue to infiltrate ukraine from a phase

one of the war already begun? retired navy seal, senior chief, a republican congressional candidate in the third district, get back, sir. tell me what's happening because i said this a bunch and will again, i don't think it will take, i don't think he knows what to do because he feels stupid he doesn't know what he's doing and now appealing to south america. >> i think what's happening here vladimir putin watched joe biden and his national security team prevented thousands of american citizens to terrorists in afghanistan so he feels like he has room to move but the math doesn't add up. it invades ukraine from your stream to would be shut off in europe were turned back to the united states for fuel, economic sanctions and greater increase

chance of ukraine joining nato. so the math doesn't add up. it doesn't help to invade ukraine, it certainly helps imposture like he's going to invade ukraine and that will get nato to say we won't allow ukraine to enter nato and he'll get concessions, he's already bennet. kennedy: what concessions is he looking for? he wants to make sure ukraine does not become part, if not romania, hungary and slovakia and poland to the west ukraine. they are not sharing continuous broader with russia. i think he wants to make sure he doesn't have a large military like ukraine, the country sharing continuous border with this country and i think that's what he's fostering to do, i believe he's going to. kennedy: what you think he and germany's chance that what you think they talked about?

they have so much natural gas from the americans from they don't need your pipeline from just doing it for fun. >> no, i do think he have that conversation, i think he said we don't want to invade ukraine is not something you do a properly hopefully he said if you do people turn to the u.s. for more energy. kennedy: you mean exactly what i just said? [laughter] yes but in a way people understand it. his posturing, vladimir putin was counterintelligence officer for kgb in the previous segment, one pop on a pool deck. [laughter] completely over his head, his team jake sullivan is not qualified, secretary different austin not qualified my chief of staff not qualified. kennedy: milley not qualified.

niedermayer dead. [laughter] >> we just got to remember now, i said this before, let me putin is ready ukraine, xi jinping is watching and freddie taiwan but testing biden. biden keeps tripping over his own feet simply got to stop, we have a government right now, executive branch of the government and national security council are completely overhead. kennedy: agree, agreed and a brief. i think he said it in a different way but putin is not evading, it's not in his interest, he has things he's wants he's throwing a tantrum, not with full-scale invasion. lovely to see you, thank you for your insight and wisdom. >> you are welcome, have a great night. kennedy: tropical storm is next. ♪♪
