>> tucker: that is it for us tonight on our labor day special. there's a lot of good stuff on fox nation. you can watchfo all these episos right on foxnation.com and of course, we will be back every weeknight 8:00 p.m., the show that is a sworn enemy of smugness and groupthink. have the best night with the ones you love and we will see you tomorrow. ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to this special edition of hannity. happy labor day. tonight for the hour, we will highlight some of our town halls and exclusive interviews from the past summer. we have all witnessed the disaster of the southern border due to the bidenha administration's complete incompetence, failure to control the migrant surge and here is highlights from the u.s.-mexico border. >> from day one, the day that

you came down that escalator, you talked about securing our country's borders. you had to fight hard to get the money to build 500 miles of wall, the stay in mexico policy built the wall, ended catch and release, and now we see what's happening. your reaction to all of this? >> there has never been a time six months ago and never been a worse time. the tightest security, you could come our country legally but what else we are stopping is massive amounts of drugs, human traffickers, bad people criminals emptying their jails into our country. other countries are emptying their jails into our country.em we never had it better and now we've never had it worse in the history of our country. i just saw the lieutenant i governor with a whole group, the largest contingent of congress congress people ever at the border from what i understand. i think they are mostly here, i see a lot of them right here.

we had the largest -- we even have my doctor, the white house who became a congressman. by the way, would you mind givingte joe a cognitive test? >> sean: president sippy cup i don't know how well he's going to do. >> we aced it. i think we can say that i aced it. >> sean: he didn't get one question wrong, did he? 30 out of 30.t. >> they did get a little bit more difficult after 15. >> sean: i heard the first three questions are is it a giraffe or an elephant. >> they take the first two or three questions and they put them in but let me tell you, they would not get those last 15 right, certainly not the last ten, that i can tell you. we have a border that is very bad right now and very dangerous for our country and fortunately a lot of great people in texas in particular.

>> sean: you know it's fascinating? all of a sudden, biden is blaming you for the current crisis. >> they have done it for five years, six years, russia, russia, and i told you this, i told shawn the story. i go around and people are saying sir, do you know anything about iea russia? this is when i'm running years ago and i say no. a month later, do you know anything about russia? and other guy comes up and then i called do you know anything about russia and i said what's going on with russia and it was the russia hoax, misinformation. now they are saying it was the republican party that wanted to defund the police. do you hear that? billy is not a big defund her of the police. the republican party wants to defund the police, this just started yesterday. i don't know how they're getting away with that one but you take the clips.

>> sean: i played the greatest hits last night, sir. when you look at what else is happening and it's interesting that states like florida and south dakota and many others are offering texas and arizona support now in their law enforcement because in the dark of night, they are taking illegal immigrants flying them into the states and now the states are responsible for food and shelter in health care and education. >> they bring people in and the states don't even know. they say it's an allotment and >the governors, republican governors -- he look at the well-run states, it's all done by for the most part republican governors. we have great republican governors, we really do. >> sean: so the policies thate have been reversed, joe hasn't come to the border. you've been here many times.ha

kamala really didn't come to the border, seems like a photo up to me. what would you want them to know that they don't know or maybe they do know and they don't seem to care about? >> she wouldn't have come if she didn't hear i was coming. i was invited by the governor and i said yes because we were very proud of the job we did. we built now i guess it's close to 500 miles of wall and we are going to build an extra 200 because we had money left over. we were going to do an extra 200 and no one has ever done this and all he had to do is go another two months and the wall would have been totally completed and they have to paint the wall. i'm going to give that job to brian. we have to paint the wall because it is starting to rust. it's supposed to be painted and they don't even want to paint the wall. it is so disgraceful. two more months, everything would have been completed and just like with the keystoneac pipeline, they're not going to do it. 48,000 jobs out the window and environmental pipeline.

so when you look at what's happening and inflation is going to be the killer of them all because inflation is going to destroy our country. the border is going to destroy our country.nt >> sean: in 2018 they accused you of putting children in cages and it turns out the video was from 2014, now joe biden is building these cages in the middle of a pandemic, higher rate of positive cases of covid, kids living on top of each other.ig imagine for a second what would theon press have been like ten democrats been saying if you had built these? >> i really had that because in 2018 and even after, they came out with these horrible pictures and somebody came up and said who is the contractor? he said i built those cages in 2014 during obama's

administration and it wasn't trump, it was obama that built those cages. got a little lucky. after we said that, all of a sudden the whole cape thing went away. now there are so many kids coming into many of them are on suicide watch, something we've never heard of, it is so miserable and so hot. i will say right now, i think it was hotter in new york than it was in texas, it was 101 degrees in new york but their kids are on suicide watch, think of that. it's terrible. >> sean: 90% of the heroin crosses that southern border. now we have the two biggest fentanyl busts in the country losing over 300 americans a week and in cases more. >> a sheriff just said at a

meeting today, the law enforcement in texas and other places and i didn't even know this, he said before the end of our administration, we had fentanyl virtually stopped. now he said it is coming in at levels we have never seen before. we had it stopped. it was nasty. getting through our border, especially with almost the 500 miles of wall, it was nasty to get through. >> sean: you've been very generous with your time cominge on the show off and you have pointed out that you couldn't even send in your child protective services to check on kids.id you know about ranchers finding dead bodies on their ranches. we know about the perilous journey but the government won't even allow you to enforce the laws that they refuse to enforce. now you are left with building your own fence because he is not president?

> we in texas have been lefto our own devices to fend for ourselves like we are somen outpost along some territory that the federal government doesn't care about anymore. it's not like it was with president trump. he cared about texas. >> sean: what i am having a hard time and i'm sure everybody here is having a hard time, we are supposed to be a nation of laws and if he jaywalked, they would want to impeach him, let's be honest. but joe biden and kamala harris are picking and choosing not to enforce the laws of the land and you don't have the authority as a governor to enforce it for them so now you do the next best thing?e >> the first error of the biden administration is making his they have abandoned the rule of law, not enforcing the immigration laws have beenno passed by congress and hence we have this complete open border policy. the state can make the same apprehension of the border

control can make but we would turn them over to federal officials who believe in catch and release. so what texas is doing because i've declared a disaster, the penalties of increased for anybody trespassing, anyone who vandalized iss anything and we are working with sheriff's, men and women in the white house behind me. really quick, what i've been working for the last several weeks, we are going to start arresting people, putting people behind bars, putting them in jail not giving them the red carpet treatment the biden administration has been giving them. >> he and i had a great relationship along with a lot of other people in this room from texas and from other states in all fairness but very special what texas has been doing and it was over. we stopped a lot of the drugs coming, which is very tough

to do, and they had some real criminals bringing the stuff in. these cartels are tough, smart people.cr they went to the wharton school of finance and graduated number one in their class but they never did that. they would've graduated, very very tough and smart and what they've been doing with human trafficking and drugs and all of the other things is a disgrace. we had it largely stopped and in two months, three months they ended it, stay in mexico was so great, they couldn't stay and they ended it. you take a look at the governor saying catch and release, i ended that. that's where you catch a criminal and release them in our country and they're supposed to come back for a trial three we years later. i would say they don't come back too often for trials, he would never see them. is that correct? a great congressman too when is the only one that might be even tougher than us. but i will say this, we had the relationship, everything was good, they need help from the federal government, i gave it to

them times ten and we did it. and then he comes in and he stops building the wall. all you needed was two more months and we would've had it completed but even so, we built almost 500 miles of wall and it had such a huge impact and the sheriff's are and law enforcement has done an unbelievable job. >> sean: going to ask some questions, welcome to the program, what's your first name? >> my name is janet brown and i live in edinburg. >> sean: welcome and thank you for being with us, with the question? >> i amng hispanic. i actually came from nicaragua, central america.ro i'm very familiar with central america living there in honduras. i came to the united states in 1960. i won't tell you my age.

but i came here legally and it is really sad what's going on at our border here. my question is president trump what long-term damage and destruction will biden's open borders agenda do to the country and what is it costing law-abiding u.s. taxpayers? >> a very their question and i know you know that as well as everybody in this room. it is incalculable how bad this is where you have not hundreds of thousands, but millions of people storming into our country, some of them are from prisons o and they are bad and murderers and all the things i said before. there is no way to judge that kind of damage and you know getting them out is an ordeal and all sorts of things will happen, goingn to be very hard

but i will say this, it has to be stopped now. this can't go until 2022. they say we're going to win congress. they have to do something immediately. people are storming up. you look at these caravans where they are 15 and 20,000 and you don't know who is in those caravans and some of the worst people on earth. it's a tremendous cost and it's also monetarily of tremendous cost talking about trillions and trillions of dollars.nd >> can i add to it? what's happening here is the erosion of the social fabric of the united states of america. it was built upon the rule of law and with the biden administration is doing is not enforcing the rule of law. the first thing that happens with the people they are letting in is they are violating the rule of law in america it must be stopped. >> sean: highlights from our town hall where thousands of cubans rallied in support of

protesters fighting for their freedom in cuba. that's next.

she she as the first lady to th point has baby for a full-time job. she such a kick like to get bac in the classroom. now back to hannity and for all your headlines, had to foxnews.com. >> sean: back in july we held a town hall in miami with florida governor ron desantis, senator marco rubio, and highlighted how cubans are fighting for freedom against evil murdering communistic dictatorship. take a look. >> sean: this has been a freedom movement that is building. very dangerous for the people taken to the streets. how do you assess it? >> from day one, the people of cuba have been protesting against the communist dictatorship in havana not because of a vaccine or these issues, they want a new government enter free cuba. it's incumbent upon us in the united states to be supportive of those efforts.

i've called on joe biden, the communist regime has shut down internet. let's work to be an internet on the island of cuba so these folks have a fighting chance to converse with one another, builo an international coalition so the regime knows the free world stands with people of cuba and i think it's great that you were here in florida, we take pride in being a free state of florida. this is the beating heart of freedom in florida because everybody in this community has been affected in one way or another by the communist dictatorship, loved ones killed by the regime and all of their relatives at one point fled a very evil regime so you are seeing people take to the streets here because we understand after 62 years something is different on that island right now. we have an opportunity to take a new chapter in history and you point out in your monologue cuba would be a phenomenal ally of

our country if it was free. it it would be a boon for the people of cuba and also great for relations with the united states. >> sean: without the communication abilities, there are friends and families and loved ones number one that they would like to know are okay. they are trying to suppress the truth of what's really happening. you said while the people of cuba are showing incredible courage, the biden administration said the exactmi words that i believe are showing cowardice. what should joe biden be doing? >> step up and be on the side of freedom.e. the internet access is something we have the capability of doing. we have companies in the u.s. that want to do it but they need the okay of the federal government. he has it in his authority to do that, he could make it happend

and if he is willing to, it would make a positive difference and he is leaving these folks out to dry and what was going to end up happening is they don't get assistance, the regime will continue to clamp down and they will remain even stronger in power them that will be a huge blow to freedom. >> sean: you said the people of cuba need the truth. the lack of information flow or free press makes everything very difficult and makes organizingat in cuba difficult although it is illegal but the communications aspect, what other things could be happening? senator rubio will join us in a minute. pointed out that the embargo works, on the other hand if things get progressively worse, then people that are already struggling to get bare necessities will be even more trouble. >> our policy should be to be against the regime and that means obviously doing things -- it means not relaxing sanctions

on venezuela. so let's get real here, let's understand who the people are on the right side of freedom, stand with them and tighten the screws on this regime. one of the reasons this is happening now is because trump turned the screws on the regime in havana and venezuela. biden wants to liberalize all of that and all of that will do is entrench the regime in power and make tyranny rule on the island even more. >> sean: you t are talking about a lot of similarities here with the natural resources and venezuela, should be one of the richest countries on earth and the people should all share, our state of alaska shares the revenue from the natural resources instead of paying state income taxes, they writehe you a check for being a citizen of alaska. i would argue if this movement is successful and tell me if you agree or disagree.

in five yearsag the amount of money that would be invested to build resorts and hotels and vacation spots in five years this country would be remade at a level that nobody could imagine. >> i agree and not only that, it would have ramifications throughout the western hemisphere. anytime you have maligned actors in any part of the western hemisphere, it always has a connection to the regime in havana. that regime falls and you have a free cuba, that will have ramifications for all these other countries that have suffered under cuban influence. >> sean: okay, going to introduce -- let's give a warm miami welcome, and governor desantis is going to stay with us. we would like to welcome up senator marco rubio. [ applause ] >> you talked about and said we've got to do something in

miami, we want marco here but had to have said it votes so he fought on a plane, rush down here but is carrying a lot of load up in washington on this issue. >> sean: i remember a number of times over the years, your family story which many people relate to and i think there's a percentage of the population that may not understand what it is we're explaining, tell us the story. >> first of all, cuba is a failure that socialism doesn't work, marxism is about power nothing to do with prosperity it's about controlling people. it wants to keep people poor because they are easier to control. a marxist system is about leveraging people saying you're not going to have food or medicine for any benefits unless you agree to do what we want that's the first thing. the second thing is tyranny. the leaders of cuba are not just evil, they are incompetent. you don't get promoted for being smart, you get promoted because

your loyal and compliant and you give in.om the third is they're liars. every one of them are liars. there is no u.s. embargo against the cuban people. if a cuban wants to open up and cuba, they can and we can sell them stuff for the only embargo was on the cuban regime because they own everything. every business, every hotel every restaurant. what president trump did is he said it's very simple. you are a private citizen, weru can do trade with you but we are not going to do trade with military owned companies because that money goes into theirca pocket so especially now that they've had access to the internet realize and see how cousins and families are living outsideey of cuba. cuban-americans are less than half of 1% of the united states population.in presidents of universities, but ambassadors, members of theon cabinet, successful in every field and even represent 3% of

the united states senate even though we are half of 1% of the u.s. population. >> sean: the interesting thing, obama lifted the embargo he is doing it to venezuela. iran is now enriching uranium again and now the same thing with cuba and you have pointed out, i believe rightly so, the negative impact of that decision. it will not help this effort to advance the cause of liberty in cuba. >> that is what tyranny, marxism does, the cuban people are a hostages, they say these people are going to starve and suffer unless you send more money that goes to our hands. the remittances go to a bank that they set up in panama than they take dollars away from you and turn it into a cuban currency that is worthless.

it's worth less than cuba, i be you. and then they keep the dollars. it's a scheme and they are walking us right into the trap and you've got to go people in charge of cuba policy right now and they want to open it all up. one of them was the one organizing trips to take congressmen and senators to cuba to fawn and gravel all over the cuban regime so of course theseb policies are schizophrenic, the people in charge of it are sympathizers. >> let's look at the big pictur here. we are firing jobs with the stroke of a pen while simultaneously giving the waiver for putin to build his pipeline. while we are being threatened by china and threatening our military bases and reunification

with our allie taiwan basically saying we will bomb military bases of japan and thean united states, they get rewarded by the biden administration, we know putin has been rewarded and now we have a case, what is the doctrine to kiss the of every single solitary dictator in the world? >> you also didn't mention having a completely open southern border. you have not just people from mexico coming. you have people from over 100 countries that know the quickest way to get into the aiunited states. there were people from the middle east people from haiti, you name it. a huge amount and a huge number of people so i think every step of the way they seem to be taking steps that make our country less secure, less secure against potential adversaries and now less secure on our ownsa borders of our country. >> sean: i'm having a hard time understanding these policies. >> i understand it clearly. we live in the freest most

prosperous nation in humanes history and somehow we have a segment overrepresented -- -- at thinks behind every problem in the world it's america's fault. behind every problem in the world, america must be doing something wrong to cause this problem. these people exist and they are real, not saying the majority but the ones that raise theon money and knock on the doors as we've got to tell you, i understand it because they are crazy. >> sean: you sent out a tweet this week, and i really thought deeply about it. you said what if vladimir putin sent 1,000 troops to cuba to squash this liberty movement that is going on down there? i thought deeply about it. doesn't sound like an impossibility to me. actually, i wouldn't be surprised. what would he do?

>> i think some of these people have their way, they would set the russians remittances too that's their thought process about all of this is what's the big deal? the russian presence in cuba is real. it's a signal station that collects intelligence and special operations command, they are already there, wouldn't surprise me if they sent these military contractors they use all over the world but in the end, this regime has been mortally wounded, lost its legitimacy. i'm not saying it's going to be quick and it is going to be easy . it is a dying animal and we need to do everything we can to expedite its passage. >> sean: coming up, highlights from our town hall with six republican governors where we talk about the state of the country, that and much more as the special edition of hannity continues. age before beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin in... crepe corrector lotion... only from gold bond.

>> sean: this summer we traveled to nashville, tennessee, for a town hall with six republican governors. we talked about what republicans should be standing for. take a look. all of you can say to the people in your states that you have lower taxes, you have ended burdens from regulation, you have created business friendly environments for everybody and we are seeing the benefits of your policies in place. now all of a sudden, you are fiscally responsible, you balance your budgets, fund your pensions, and in comes biden with his big blue state bailout and giving californian gavin newsom up to $75 billion surplus 40 billion taxpayer dollars from your t states. if i was a governor, i might be a little ticked off about that. >> absolutely.

they came in and changed the rules to fit their agenda and what you are seeing is republican governors of the last line of defense against true socialism.g that's what's happening with the executive orders. when you talk about the economy one of the biggest things hitting america is inflation. we are on the verge of hyperinflation, supply chain issues across this country and there is no way to tax on the american people and a worse tax than inflation because every low income family has to pay for that for a gallon of milk whatever it is. so their policies to help low income are reversed. itit is all political what happs is they end up hurting those they claim to be helping the most.ns >> that's exactly the case and we are playing the price for the blue state bad decisions that they made. in iowa, we are cutting taxes had our kids in schoole encouraging growth and development and open for business and it's completely the

contrast. i think he has forgotten -- he thinks we are just starting covid, the emergency is over in the amount of money that is coming into our states is unconscionable and i said they sent 95 million to help us get our kids back in the classroom and i set our kids have been in the classroom since august. this is ridiculous. sending 700 million right now to address testing and vaccines and to help address covert issues so i said here, you can take the 95 million back. we don't need it we need to do more of that. it is unconscionable the amount of money. this is the third. we did that on top of that. >> sean: biden tried to have strings attached to dictate policy that if you take the money, you cannot cut taxes. >> joe biden needs to stop trying to rescue us.

we don't need rescued. we have said that this money is blue state bailout for the failures they have had in the past. what rewards you get that actually tightens your belt? cut your budget and live within your means. i said in my second estate of the state, i would be remiss that was then california governor jerry brown, gavin newsom has been more helpful and think about it, ronald reagan said if the pilgrims would've landed in california, they would have never discovered the rest of the country. nobody leaves california because they want to, it's becoming too painful. >> sean: the first time in 171 years they lost population. >> it's a result of leadership policy, and lack of quality of life and economic opportunity. >> sean: he's going to take your money, checks will go out

to two-thirds of the people of california just prior to the recall. where i grew up in new york, we have different words for that. but it's from your taxpayers. you look at the tax policies and you look at washington. when donald trump became president and he put his tax plan in place, got rid of reductions or deductions for state and local income taxes. personally, that hurt me. d was it the right thing to do? yes because red states that elect fiscally responsible politicians are being punished. they didn't get the same benefit i was getting. now it looks like joe is going to go back and reward his blue state friends and reinstate that deduction. that will hurt everyone of you governors. >> it not only subsidizes bad blue state policy, subsidizes

very wealthy taxpayers in that state, so it is terrible policy and you and i have talked about it, you guys have millions of people, your budget is over twice the size of the budget in the state of florida. >> sean: and the infrastructure is a disaster. >> we do better in k-12, my university system is ranked number one by "u.s. news & world report" for years in a row so it just shows you a lot of that money is being frittered away but they never make tough choices. when covid hit, they crafted the budget before everything hit the fan so i vetoed a record billion dollars right off the top and said look, we don't know it's going to happen, we have to make tough decisions and now i look back and i didn't have to do that because they are sending so much money at us rewarding states that have made bad decisions or not been willing to make tough decisions. >> the only reason i ever ran for office was because of bad tax policy. we had a tragedy in our family lost my dad, took me ten years

to pay off, and that's why i started showing up at meetings. when i was in congress, i had the chance on the final conference committee to fix a lot of bad tax policy in the country. to watch president biden destroy that and to damage our country and our long-term economic. >> sean: did you just say oh biden? that you sound like a talk show host. >> it does, i'm sorry. >> sean: you don't have to apologize. >> to watch him undo this is tragic and for all of us. we are not making decisions for ourselves or for the next six months. we are making it for our kids. we are not the ones going to pay off this debt. >> sean: we are robbing them blind. >> you mentioned it being the people's money, our money, it is really easy, federal government

is shoveling out money. is shoveling out money. it's very easy to spend somebody else's money and they forget that this is actually the people's money and then they like to tell states what to do. they don't much like it when we talk back but we have talked back and said we do want to offer tax cuts. we have had $1 billion surplus in our state in spite of this. we don't want to be told what to do either with federal dollars on immigration, what our kids should learn in school, we don't want too be told by the federal government what to do and that is really why states and what you are seeing here areha beginning to come together and work together tos push back. >> sean: coming up, my exclusive interview with president donald trump about operation warp speed. that's's next. my

baaam. internet that doesn't miss a beat. that's cute, but my internet streams to my ride. adorable, but does yours block malware? nope. -it crushes it. pshh, mine's so fast, no one can catch me. big whoop! mine gives me a 4k streaming box. -for free! that's because you all have the same internet. xfinity xfi. so powerful, it keeps one-upping itself. can your internet do that?

okay people. oh yeah. let us begin. people!!! less with the puns. more about the moms. they want healthy, affordable options. moms want to save that dough. hold onto that green. enough with the puns! land o'frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.

>> sean: this summer, i traveled to florida to interview president trump. we spoke about operation warp speed and so much more. operation warp speed got us three vaccines. that's never happened before. 200 million doses now have gone out to americans, that means a lot of lives are saved. you are criticized about the travel ban ten days after the first case. about a year ago, dr. fauci was saying masks don't work. in march of last year and then you have cuomo and murphy and wolf and gretchen whitmer signing these executive actions sending covid patients to nursing homes. in new york, set the navy

hospital ship, converted for covid, you built the hospital, mans the hospital, provided all the ventilators, ppe, gloves, gowns, masks and a everybody needed, 80% of those beds were never used and they were sent back. >> if they would have use this great massive hospital ship, all the things that we did for them, you would have saved 16,000 lives, may be more than that. >> sean: why did operation warp speed work so well? that they are not going to experience massive losses? >> first of all, we did a great job of getting gowns and masks and all the different equipment that we were building, the most complex getting it out to the states because the coverage in the states and i inherited the coverage, it was nothing and we had practically nothing in this country and now it's been

totally rebuilt. we got very little credit for the great job we have done and then as you know, it should be up to the governors. some were fantastic. i could write a great book. some were less than fantastic and some are absolutely terrible. ron did a great job, texas did a great job. >> sean: most red states. >> it's really interesting, isn't it? they did a really great job. the most lockdown state in the whole country is michigan and michigan is the worst in our country. >> sean: how did you get -- what was the mandate that push these companies to do something that had never been done before? >> i was told by dr. fauci and by many people the quickest you could have a vaccine is three years and it could be five years and it could be longer than that and you could also not have it at all and then i got involved and said that's ridiculous and i got involved with the fda and no one has ever -- they hate me so

badly and i understand it. >> sean: there is a list of people that hate you. >> that's okay, we are helping people. we are saving tens of millions of people with the vaccine. so i push them. they had all these statutory periods, got it done in less than nine months, would've taken minimum three years, i don't think they would've had. >> alicia: and you back them up financially as well. >> pfizer is really in. i will give you breaking news. pfizer is in with the fda. and with the fda did with johnson & johnson is so stupid. they all want me to do a commercial because a lot of our people don't want to take vaccines. i don't know what that is exactly. i don't know what it is. >> sean: you encourage people to get it. did you get it? >> yes, i did. i had it and i took it because i

believed in it. so here's the thing, they want me to do a commercial saying take the vaccine. and they think that's very important and i call them and say let me ask you a question, you just did something, six people out of 8 million people, somebody said that tylenol, women's birth control all cause far more. experienced some difficulty, six people and that's too bad, it's terrible, but they paused it. that's the worst thing you could have done from a public relations standpoint. they paused the vaccine and it probably even affects the other vaccines a little bit but they paused it, had a devastating impact. i said they want me to do a commercial and they do this paused. here's your breaking news, they love pfizer.

they get along with pfizer so well and pfizer doesn't like me because i put favored nations on prescription drugs and favored nations will mean if biden stays, it will mean we have the lowest prices, we have the highest prices in the world by far than last year, i got them to be slightly lower but the first time it's happened in 32 years but here's the thing -- 52 years, but here's the thing, pfizer and these drug companies dislike me also. i can be liked by everybody but i won't be doing a good job. so i put favored nations because you have countries that pay a tiny fraction for the exact same pill made in the exact same factory that comes in the exact same box and what i did is put a favored nations moving the united states will pay whatever the price is of the lowest nation in the world and drug companies went crazy, spend a lot of money and did something

else. >> sean: why are they charging us more? >> they got together with the fda and before the election, they knew we had the answer. instead of saying we have the vaccine and it works, 95%, they waited two days after, pfizer did that with the fda. the fda, a lot of bureaucrats been there for a long time and they will be there for a long time, but they were very slow and they have been very slow and i'll tell you something, i think it's very suspect what they did with johnson & johnson because the only people that are happy about that are pfizer and motor are not. the only people that are happy about that is it's a terrible thing.
