chris bedford. >> chris: you have to wonder how he's going to be able to pull this off.s going to shut down the virus. they took a break to control the climate come up with this seems a stretch by that. the problem we are facing is a social construct. when it comes onto testing and it comes on to contamination and lockdowns. we track any other communicable disease in the same way we track covid. you have to isolate, your family is to isolate coming up to go into tests. there would be panic at the time. we are not going to get rid of this disease. the people who are pushing this, especially where i live in you live, they are so wedded to the idea of these lockdowns and mask mandates and shutdowns. they never worked in their bare straight minutes of the doing it again. we started a mask mandates here in d.c. public schools are going to be shutting down again. it's hurting children and america. if they can't follow ron desantis who's about to help the people of the state, they're never going to get anywhere. in florida has a low covid rate. people like to say this because t

let's ask right forge founding partner chris bedford.t biden spread blame that the omicron virus spread faster than they thought. we saw the signs of this. we saw the letters. we knew they were going to be a winter spike. why aren't they on top of this things? this is the most obvious problem in the world right now? >> i think they feed on panic, charles. it would be a fool's errand for them to try to control disease the way they're pretending to. right now they have different aspects of control. like you said a line around the block, just a block away from me of people waiting to get tested before they meet up with elderly people. i wonder what the heck of point of all these tests are, charles. if you go to florida, some other states, if you get tested positive, the government will provide you access to some aspect of health. access to medicine, treatments to get you through this. if you're in washington, d.c., where i am or massachusetts you test positive. you don't get access to those. they don't fill prescriptions. you get locked up.
