radio show host, richard fowler.ndation for economic education policy correspondent who will be my date this january to a steakhouse of my choosing, brad polumbo. let's go through this line by nine, it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. that is not the case and it's upsetting, unnerving and insulting to people who have been sick including those who have the basic vaccinated and followed the rules and still got covid so why did i keep saying that? >> it's hard for them to reverse course now, they blamed the pandemic on the deplorable ones doing the right things, especially order" right things become increasingly right things, insane, mask mandates and some counties in maryland are becoming. you don't need to read medical information or digest long studies, all you need to see is just it also is having eyes, just look around you, there are plenty of people including me and you, we've gotten covid while vaccinated after vaccinated, i caught it also from a vaccinated person who tested negative earlier that day, the infect

let's bring in our panel richard fowler show host fox news contributor richard failure and the guy pensiond fox news contributor, guy benson. gentlemen thank you so much and happy new year. >> happy new year. >> happy new year. >> guy, let me start with you. the issue of covid the combined initiative covid and the economy. let's hope it does do you think the taste for controlling our lives that so many authorities have got to think that is never not going to go away? >> i expect some of this people like to cling to that power forever. at least indefinitely pretty think political realities will probably intercede at some point. we saw hints of it in virginia and in new jersey. i think that is an underplayed story of backlash to covid restrictions, school closures and that kind of thing. they signal very strongly than not going to take this anymore even in very blue areas and democratic precincts. i would imagine at some point we will see a loosening of that grip out of a reality check. people wanting to hold onto their jobs as much as they want to wield that power. when the town from the pr

the host of richard fowler's radio show and fox news contributor, it is richard fowler.hor of how the force can fix the world if you love star wars, you got to get your copy in time for valentine's day. carol, we were told if you get the vaccine, you can't get the virus again so therefore everyone vaccinated is protected and that's how we overcome. most people pre-much everyone i know took the vaccine and many of us cut the virus again so have we been lied to? >> i think that is exactly what happened, we were life to in its democrats lashing out trying to find somebody to blame. we were told if we stayed indoors and mask up.vaccinated we could stop covid. we haven't stopped covid. i believe it, too, i was into the idea vaccination and the pandemic i talked about it and wrote about it and was fully on board but when it didn't happen, i accepted reality and didn't start thinking we should block fellow citizens in our home so it's a consequence not being told the truth. the vaccine does not stop community spread, i think we need to give up just getting people vaccinated doe

so thankful to be with my friends i feel a "fox & friends" in fox business happy birthday to richard fowlerven the price of bacon came down to celebrate the day. >> exactly. >> i'm gonna say this this is the first time i think of going to say this i completely agree with richard's analysis on this point in terms of what it looks like for joe biden if you look at the most recent poll you have a 59% disapproval and interestingly i find this particularly interesting we know how donald trump is the worst poll of president in history so we understand that but he's only pulling three points above where donald trump was pulling at the same point in his presidency. he does have issues that he cannot really when you cannot really win on covid that's his issue to be creative and saying i have a plan for covid this is what i'm going to do i'm a to bring jobs back to the economy not of those are materialized and now we see a media who totally favored him he gave him positive press coverage through their election or his first year in office it is really beginning to be honest about the performance of hi

let's bring in guy benson, host of the guy benson show and political editor at town hall.com and richard fowlerributors. good to have you with us today. so the reaction to that -- i want to go to this first. this is glen youngin on the arlington county tweet. let's take a look at this. >> we wrote the order specifically to give all of the school systems basically eight days to get ready, to listen to parents. the fact that that tweet came out from arlington county within minutes of my executive order, what that tells me they haven't listened to parents yet. >> martha: he says they have not listened to parents. one parent from that arlington community school system, jen psaki, said hi there, arlington county parent here. i don't believe -- thank you for standing up for our kids and administrators and their safety in the midst of a transmissable variant. guy, what do you think about this? >> i'm a virginia voter. the governor is right here. it's point to point out that youngkin campaigned on ending the mask mandate in schools in virginia. he was attacked for it repeatedly. i remember seeing the a

"the bream team" to debate, richard fowler and former presidential appointee to the commission on social a black men and boys, jack brewer. great to have you both back. >> good to be here, shannon. >> shannon: i want to start with a buddy andy mccarthy who actually with cases, he writes "damage to the capital was minimal as opposed to the world trade center of 9/11 or oklahoma city courthouse in '95. the terrorist attacks that pales in comparison to january 6 or opposed to minneapolis kenosha, portland with anti-police riots. on the very evening of january 6, congress was able to reconvene in the seat of government. so jack, is it fair to say, listen, you can think that was a terrible day and people made awful decisions and there are crimes that needs to be prosecuted, but it does not equate to the worst day terrorism has ever seen. >> definitely but let me be straight up. if my child had broken into the capital or gone through the window, i would have smacked them in their butt. that is despicable. but to disrespect the lives lost after 9/11 and the lives lost after pearl harbor and all

aaron perriney, fox news contributor richard fowler both right now the power panel in "focus."i start with you, top line thoughts. >> it's very clear the district attorney here is at best putting his thumb on the scale in favor of criminals or at worst completely throwing away the scales of justice in the names of progressive policies. if i was a new yorker, if i lived in any of those areas i would be hightailing my family, if i could, out of there. why? he is incentivizing soft on crime policies and giving criminals a blueprint to run wild across new york city. that does not bode for safer streets and does not bode for equality. it bo*eds for madness. i can't believe there are district attorneys who put their hand up and promise to protect and serve their communities and this is how they behave. you see it in cities, liberal cities across the country. it is dangerous and outrageous and harmful to these communities. >> harris: the albany times union actually crunched the numbers to us. from july 2020 to june 2021, 100,000 individuals were released due to new bail reform loss. o

acu foundation senior fellow and former trump white house strategic communications advisor and richard fowlerx news contributor. great to see you both. mercedes, i'll begin with you and your top line thoughts on all this. >> first of all remember i think that eric adams is about 25 days too late. he is very slow start in really combating the crime, the rising crime in new york city. it is not just about gun violence. he views it as a public health crisis. drug addiction, homelessness, the vaccine mandate created stress in the city. talk about the fact that they focused in his predecessor mayor deblasio basically pushing for defunding the police back in 2020, and demoralizing the nypd. you have all these factors in place. that doesn't even address bail reform, the fact that we need that there and the fact that judges are not allowed to detain a defendant if they are a threat to society. so let's be real harris. there are so many factors in play right now. the mere fact is just addressing gun violence alone is not going to tackle this crime problem in new york city. >> harris: the guns have peo

richard fowler fox news contributor. jason meister, former trump advisory board member.on, i will start with you. what is ailing the democrats right now? >> it's everything, harris. truly remarkable. biden's 33% is the lowest approval rating of any modern day president. to put that into perspective trump's final approval rating january 15th of 2021 was 34%. that came on the heels of the manufactured hysteria over january 6th and four years of hoaxes and non-stop media lies. for biden to drop below this level this early on in just a year into his administration is historic. and it is not surprising when you look at inflation rates being the highest since 1982 and other things like covid cases exploding when this president ran on shutting down the virus. so it is not surprising to me. >> harris: richard, first i'm certain you have a rebuttal to that. >> well, one i think we are believers of facts here. this is not the lowest rating in american history. richard nixon, harry truman, jimmy carter and the bushes had ratings below 30%. where i agree with jason i think the presi

richard fowler, and mike davis. welcome back to both of you. start with the legal issue.executive order saying. set the option now at a number of northern virginia schools say we are keeping mask mandates in school. and we expect. so students to comply. >> so back in march that democrat-controlled state legislature gave the democratic come from her powers for the next to collect used to tackle covid and governor youngkin, the new republican governor is using those powers to give parents the choice of whether their kids are masked in schools. we know that masks are not working and for not going to make kids where 95 mask or respirators, and these mask cause more harm than good. governor youngkin has signed that. >> the public to see if that turns into a lawsuit brought against some kids will have to show up without masks to see how that plays out. i want to bring out something from the new attorney general in virginia. he thinks that prosecutors have been too soft on crime and virginia and here is a bit of what he said tonight on the laura ingraham show. >> a lot of a spec

>> martha: here's katie pavlich and richard fowler, both are fox news contributors. n the way the president put that, richard with it was not something that instilled re-assurance in people when they're told, oh, you know, google it. yeah, google where to get a test. >> i understand that, martha. i understand how the american people could feel that lack of unconfidence from the president. with that being said, i think it's worth pointing out here that while this white house was slow on the uptick to get covid tests out to folks with the spread of the omicron variant, what we're seeing from the white house is setting up testing centers in a number of states, signing healthcare resources from the military to back up hospitals that are being decimated because folks on the hospital staff are getting -- >> martha: they banned travel from south africa. it's not like they didn't know it was spreading. >> true. but i think with that being said, nobody expected it to spread as fast as it did in the united states. and pointing out, there's some cities that are working well at g

richard fowler and former white house deputy communications director brian morgenstern.o have both of you back. with this headline from jonathan and "the wall street journal." his headline says a college couldn't get away with biden is high court criteria. goes on to talk about the fact that if you narrowed a job applicant see field by gender or race, a wooden pass muster. but this president sounds like he is going to make good on his promise. >> that it is right and unfortunately it is in the courts where it says right on the front of the equal under law. by using this criteria, he is disqualified more than 9 out of 10 americans more than 19 out oe country. and it does no service to the nominee because it essentially broadcast to the nation that he is making this choice not based on qualifications but on immutable trades. that actually perpetuates -- as george w. bush said, the soft -- it's unfair to the nominee, unfair to the country, and it's unfair to the institution of the court. so it's a sad thing that he is doing it this way but the rob lukens are going to have t

richard fowler said in a clip that that we play off the top that the president is a day late and a dollar. but that really undercuts the severity of the problem. to me, the media's biggest failing maybe of the last two years is in failing to grasp the severity of the testing shortage which is now a full-blown, nationwide crisis in this country, the headline topping every news show this week, fronting every front page should have really been americans wait hours in line to get access to tests. sometimes they're charged hundreds of dollars for those tests, and now we're waiting days in order to get the results. this is the wealthiest nation in the world, the most technologically and medically advanced nation in the world. it's outrageous that at this point we are here. this is not happening many western europe, it's not happening in most participants of asia. even -- parts of asia. even in most parts of the middle east. it's a shortcoming that is very unique to the united states right now, and the media is not covering it as such. howard: that's a great point. if this had been more of a med

government joining us now is turning point usa contributor rob smith and fox news contributor richard fowlerried about inflation. this white house essentially assaying if we spend more, we can help them with those costs to help the households manage their expenses better. others are saying that is not the way to do it. it will only contribute to the problem. your thoughts. >> i think that that is absolutely ridiculous. the reason inflation is going so poorly now is we have had trillions of dollars of monopoly money printed and put into the economy right now and that will lessen the value of the dollar. i think that the american public see it. they see it when they are grocery shopping, they see it at the gas tank. they see all of the results of these terrible policies. what joe biden has been doing, i want to call it the blame game. when it comes to inflation, the things that these people are seeing, when they go grocery shopping, he does not blame me horrible policies, he blames the meat distributors, he blames the oil companies, they do not take control of the narrative and they certainly
