positive for covid after fleeing their state and posing for selfies, massless on private planes. the group going on around d.c. last week meeting with top democrats like chuck schumer, having a powwow with liz warren. that's not tasteful. and potentially exposing kamala harris to the virus. they even made a trip to walter reed medical center yesterday, but the white house because that a routine appointment. and jen psaki doesn't seem to be concerned in the least bit. >> is there any safety concern about her spending time around the president until a certain amount of time has passed? >> she was tested and there was no detection of covid, there hasn't been additional precautions taken. >> do officials wish those texas democrats would have been more careful and take in more precautions like wearing masks on the flight here? >> again, i don't think i'm going to be in a position here to assess what safety precautions they may or may not have taken.

>> greg: ainsley, welcome to the show. >> ainsley: thank you, greg. >> greg: i'm not used to having someone tie than me on my right. >> ainsley: i am sitting on a pillow, these chairs are very low! is that better? >> greg: you would think we could afford better chairs! what's great about these democrats, they thought they were frederick douglass but they looked more like fred flintstone. they turned into a cartoonish vision of what they thought they were going to be. >> ainsley: remember she called them heroes? who get the check up on a sunday? but i wrote down a few things when i started just thinking about how this all has unfolded. they filibuster in texas, yet they go to washington encouraging the dems to eliminate the filibuster. they want everyone in masks on airplanes, you have to wear a mask when you get on an airplane, and sometimes you have to wear it indoors now even if you are vaccinated, yet they didn't wear them on these private planes. they fly on a private plane to d.c., they stay in hotels with laundry service, yet they claim hardship. they say sacrifices when they

have to wash and hang their wet clothes, sometimes their underwear, in the bathrooms, and they tweet about it. kamala harris says if you're exposed you need to quarantine. she met with them on tuesday, some of them were testing positive at the end of the week. yet, when the democrats asked her, when the media asked her if you're going to quarantine, her spokesperson said she didn't need to do it. i'm looking at polling right now. according to the convention of state action and trafalgar survey, pulling for her is so low, yelled. she has 60 percent of the voters think she's not ready to be president and 43% of them are democrats. and where is the media outrage, greg? >> greg: i have this equation, it's like, what would m do if it was r and not d? what would the media do if it was republicans and not democrats? we be murderers. anybody to the right, if they were part of this, would be murderers. lawrence, this seems to me like the worst trip since ainsley took mushrooms in college.

[laughter] >> ainsley: never done it, never done it! >> lawrence: on a serious note, i think you are open was correct. this is about the moment, the fact that they wanted to paint themselves like mlk. they wanted to be frederick douglass. but we've got to do the work to be frederick douglass, you got to be the work to be mlk. from the media standpoint, they stumbled. because the moment never produced itself. let's be honest, the bill is going to be passed. they are going to be arrested when they come back to the state of texas. they won't be written in the history books. the media won't cover the story anymore, and every single thing the republicans want head after negotiating for months is going to be drafted in this bill. so the question is, where do we go from here? they've got to run on this. the democratic national committee is already invested in this. but it was never about texas, about hr one. it's about satirizing this. they're going to say, look, we

tried to fight back. politico gave us four pinocchios, just like george apparently tried to fight. this is why we have to run on this in the next election. it has to be a federalized election system. and then that's when you're going to see the voters push back, because if you know anything about southern states, especially the state of texas, we don't like the feds being involved in our election system. it's going to backfire. >> greg: i would have thought they'd be a little bit different. if they get arrested they can't go to jail, because the jails won't hold covered patients, right? richard, what do you make of this? are we overstating this? you must admit there's quite an imbalance from the media perspective. this is not a story. but if you just reversed it, it would be leading every show on every network. >> richard: listen, you know i call balls and strikes. >> greg: that's baseball, correct? >> richard: just making sure you know your sports! >> greg: [laughs] >> richard: where i will give a strike as they should have had mask on the plane.

you can't say you want the general public to wear masks and you don't wear masks on the plane. this is why i call a strike. herein lies the problem. there are democrats, joe manchin and others, that are actually trying to pass the john lewis voting rights act. the john lewis voting rights act as a rename of the 1965 voting rights act that was passed by lbj, that was re-passed by ronald reagan, that was signed by george h.w. bush, that was signed by george w. bush. it is a very basic piece of law that has been bipartisan ever since. what it says, in states where there is actual voter suppression, a history of voter suppression, that they should be preclearance by the justice department for new voter rules. this bill can get past. this bill has bipartisan support in the senate, he needs ten votes, it's very close to getting that. i think the story, we should have a conversation about the john lewis voting rights act in this segment. instead we are talking about -- the problem that they are comparing what's happening during the pandemic as civil rights legislation. this is must be temporary.

>> richard: hold on a second. i didn't interrupt. to your point, let's also remember that, during the last election, we had more voters vote than ever in america. >> greg: at the fair point. everything we were being told was temporary, we are now being told it's permanent. >> richard: but wait a minute. to be fair, in this past election, there was no widespread voter fraud that passes the court test. no federal judge has said leasing widespread voter fraud. steel and have they been looking at the evidence? i don't know. >> richard: there's been more than 48, 50 cases -- >> greg: i'm just asking. >> richard: including the supreme court. >> dagen: this rhetoric from the left about with the texas republicans want to do. it's just a full pitcher of hogwash. let me finish. that somehow you need 24-hour a day drive-in voting, and if you don't get that in one part of texas, then it's jim crow 2.0. that's what doesn't make any

sense. can i just quickly focus on the whole issue of covid? these democrats, it doesn't sound like anybody is sick, so wouldn't it be a success story? if they were fully vaccinated and even if you have a case, it is mild, it is asymptomatic, it wouldn't that be something they are crowing about? but i can tell you the percentage of people who say they are fully vaccinated, are they telling the truth? because the percentage of people who got covid from being on this plane is way out of whack with the study from harvard. it's 1 out of 10000 people who are vaccinated get breakthrough covid. this is, like, based on the simple back- of-the-envelope math, this is like 10%. it might be more. if somebody not telling the truth here? number one. number two, kamala harris should be treating this as a nonevent, going about her business. that's the message you want to send to the american people. if you come in to contest the dominant contact with somebody who's gotten covid, i've been

vaccinated, going about my business. you want to ask me about the media? >> greg: yeah, what about the media, dagen? [laughter] >> dagen: i fully expect the screeching, shrieking, preening peacocks and peahens in the media to totally go silent when their fellow asshats, and the democratic party, made butts out of themselves by not following the norms and rules date restlessly preach. they are busy looking for their next -- >> greg: we have that conversation every day. meanwhile -- >> richard: not voter fraud, voting rights. >> greg: it's very simple, voter i.d. paid leave and told -- >> richard: i'm not against voter i.d.! >> greg: but you're bringing this up. let's get to the heart of it. you guys are saying that voter i.d. is the worst thing since the civil war. your team that you are defending. >> richard: i'm just saying it should be a college i.d., utility bill, anything that identifies who you are and where you live.

>> ainsley: then democrats need to say yes, everybody needs to have a voter i.d., and republicans can say, so what? will let you vote in the middle of the night. >> richard: i want a voter holiday. i am for that. >> dagen: while the left wing media is ignoring what's going on with these texas democrats, i'm sure that they are out looking for their next michael avenatti. so i'm very excited about that. steel and i demand a commission. i demand a set of hearings immediately to look into this, perhaps an impeachment proceeding. i'm not going to call it an insurrection, but i'm going to think about it tonight. maybe tomorrow i will. i might come up next, crime wave chaos. sands running for their lives after gun fire your upset side a stadium. limu emu... and doug.

[laughter] i think they know it's a problem. the problem with democrats as they are married you ideology. that means even when they see their ideology doesn't work, they still stick with it. what's happening with our bill, the fact that violent offenders, even after you commit violent crime, their back on the streets. the fact is, when you have d.a.s that don't believe anyone should be behind bars, you've got judges letting people out of the jails, you got the defund the police movement, you got all of this that creates a problem that is just bad, and you see it every single day.

but they cannot turn them back on the movement. as a result, you know it's going to happen to if they don't like the state now, it's going to get a lot worse. because when people get so tired, they don't care about ideology anymore. they don't care if their democrat. they just want someone to stop the bleeding. i've been saying this, the solution is very simple. you bring the mayor, you bring the beat cops, the d.a., you get one judge and look at all the warrants and he kicked down the doors until you find every single one of them. the problem is no one wants to do the dirty work because of this climate. and look, all of us want equal justice under the law. i've been a criminal justice reform advocate for my entire life. but the way they are putting these reforms in place, there's no reform for the victims. how about a victim reform? >> dagen: good point. i want your reaction to this, too, let the police chief said. i just want to point out, a 6-year-old who was shot over the weekend and killed.

her hair braided last week and said, "we look like twins." this little girl, do not forget her face. her grandmother came on fox and friends this morning and said, "i hope whoever shot her will go to sleep the rest of her lives and always think about her, and think about her when they wake up in the morning, and turn themselves in." that is the grandmother's prayer. she wants justice for these kids. kids can't walk down the street every morning -- we get a stack of packets of all the people that were shot in chicago over the weekend. all the people shot in new york. you go through the list, it's like a 5-year-old locking on the street from a 6-year-old walking on the street with a parent, the list goes on and on. teenagers being killed. we've got to do something about it. these are lives and after member their faces and names, too. >> dagen: i want to point out that bill reform, getting rid of cash bail here in new york city, has been part of the problem. because criminals wind up back on the street immediately. there's no bail. vice president harris and

president biden both backed bail reform, richard. >> richard: nyiah courtney lived six blocks from my house. this girl lived in my neighborhood. i live in this neighborhood. to sit there and say it's just defund the police is really putting -- >> dagen: i didn't say -- >> richard: and not saying you, i'm saying in general. what happened, let's happening on this particular block, on the corner of malcolm x and martin luther king, you have six liquor stores on the same block. that's the problem area in the community, my community, since i moved there, has been having a conversation with the city about how we shut down six liquor stores. and it took nyiah dying for the city of d.c. to finally shut down one of them, and because a commissioner said it's got to be shut down because this liquor store is a nuisance to the community. it has been 11 homicides on this particular corner where nyiah died. when we have a conversation about how we fix the community, my point here is we have to have community as part of the

conversation. they need to be elected officials, it can't just be police, there has to be -- >> lawrence: that is so wrong. to blame the location? as the cause of the crime? >> richard: that's not what i said. >> lawrence: how about the people who are -- >> richard: it's causing a nuisance. >> lawrence: she got on national tv and said -- >> richard: hold on, hold on. >> lawrence: that's ridiculous. >> dagen: go. >> greg: there is an interesting thing that happened, there was a stadium shooting. it sounds terrible, people thought it was coming from inside, it was outside. to your points, imagine that on your street in front of your yard, whether it's d.c. or chicago committed to your kids playing outside. you don't have to imagine it, because it happens every single day. so now this story is really a big story because the press were there. they were enjoying a game.

i think it was two weeks ago, i said crime doesn't matter until the people removed from it experience the reality first hand. and now cnn realized it, and you finally covered crime. after mocking us every single day when we were talking about crime, don lemmon, chris cuomo, mocking us for caring about black on black crime, and joking about it. actually joking about it. then finally admitting it had a political ramification. not a moral one. now you have it happening at a baseball game, where the press are, and that was shocking. the families got scared, and it's a terrible experience. but now they are reacting because it hurt them intimately and now they understand how other people feel. the problem with the press right now, and how they deal with crime, is that they are so divorced from it. on canal street on saturday, at 10:30 in the morning, and asian mother and son were thrown down a flight of stairs. she's in critical condition, her

head is bashed in. the guy is on the loose. the press doesn't cover it, they don't really care. they don't know them. but they know the professional athletes. they have tickets to that game, so that's why that was so important to them. i really think the reason people aren't covering this stuff, it's this demonization by association. if we come out against crime, they can be on our side. so they have to step away and go, hold on, maybe this is racist. right? maybe they are just going against -- they conflate black on black crime with blacks. they're the ones doing it. >> lawrence: they better get ready, because they're coming to the suburbs, as well. it's no longer does the major cities. whether you like it or not, and we all have a part in this. >> richard: of course we do. and i think part of it is that we get illegal guns off the streets. the man who shot nyiah had an illegal gun. we are having their own conversation. >> lawrence: new york has some of the toughest gun laws but everybody is shooting everybody. >> dagen: leave got to go.

it's a whole lot of problems, just look at new york, because it bail reform, it's getting rid of the antigun, anticrime street unit, it is letting prisoners out of rikers island. you know let? guess who uses illegal guns? criminals! >> richard: i agree. >> dagen: and our streets are full of them because of the liberal policies, period. i don't even know who i'm yelling at. president biden trying to clean up a huge mess after the lighthouse pushes facebook to censor americans. ♪ ♪ [♪♪] if you have diabetes, it's important to have confidence in the nutritional drink you choose.

>> ainsley: richard, what do you think about these colleges? the biden administration said they are fine with colleges telling you you have to have a vaccine to come back here. what about civil liberties, privacy connect opening up our medical charts to a college? >> richard: i'm very mixed on this. i understand where lawrence is, i understand where they can is. i got a vaccine and i don't want to wear a mask. paid by undegeon general saying we have places with very low vaccination rates, a spike in the dental delta variant,it's more contagi. >> greg: i don't know if it's my deadly. >> richard: the jury is out on that particular point. >> ainsley: you never know, it could change. unlike, i see both sides of this argument. >> lawrence: don't you think a little bit of it is mental, though? i was just in the store the other day. the clerk told the lady that had a mask on, you don't have to wear your mask anymore, and she literally said that it was psychological. and people are scared of each

other. don't force it on the people. >> richard: but to greg's point, if you walk in the store, if you're on a college campus, and to be on the campus you have to wear a mask, or you have to be vaccinated, i think that's fair. stay on outside? absurd. >> richard: i never wore it outside. >> greg: there are still people jogging in this weather. >> ainsley: all right, up next. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? sorry? well, since you asked. it finds discounts and policy recommendations, so you only pay for what you need. limu, you're an animal! who's got the bird legs now?
