and talladega speedway held a vaccine clinic, then let people who got the shot take their own cars fornessee, county leaders are doing a travel for a new car. in west virginia, they are giving saving bonds to anyone 16 to 35 to boost vaccination among younger residents. but that seems like small potatoes compared to ohio. >> this announcement will occur each wednesday for five weeks. and the winner each wednesday will receive $1 million. >> that's right, a statewide lottery for people who have received one close of their vaccines. five winners, $1 million each. the cash is coming out of ohio's share of stimulus money. it sounds like a wacky idea but it might just work. $1 million could make a big difference in someone's life. never mind that you have better odds of catching covid without the vaccine than winning the state lottery. the gamble here is that people will do a lot of things for a shot at a million bucks, and there's a reason governments are desperate to boost their vaccination numbers. about 47% of american adults fully vaccinated. that is good. but not good enough. and doct

[laughter] >> dana: jesse, want to talk about the lottery or dr. fauci? >> jesse: i will do the lotto. every time i play, i think going to win. i plan my vacations and summer homes. i don't think it's a long shot, greg. americans love to gamble. though stats prove that. $1 million is nothing. if you balance that investment with hundreds of ohioans who could get covid and then spread it and miss work and sent people to the hospital, it's a great investment. these are governors taking the lead because biden has dropped the ball. once they pause j&j, vaccination rates in this country plummeted. that was a costly pause. it's been all over the map on masks. he has no idea what he's doing. governors have to get incentive to get th

nascar fans on saturday, talladega superspeedway held a clinic and let people who got the shot take carsaders doing a raffle for new car. west virginia, saving bonds to 16 to 35 to boost vaccinations among younger residents. seems like small potatoes compared to ohio. >> this announcement will occur each wednesday for five weeks. winner each wednesday will receive $1 million. >> that's right, a statewide lottery for people who have received at least one dose of vaccines. five winners, $1 million each. coming out of the share of federal stimulus money. that's one way to spend it. sounds whacky but might just work. forget the comparisons to dr. evil, $1 million could make a big difference in someone's life. never mind you've got better odds of catching covid without the vaccine than winning the state lottery, trust us, we did the math. people will do a lot for shot at $1 million, and there's reason governments are desperate to boost vaccination numbers. about 47% of american adults fully vaccinated, good but not good enough and not nearly enough for herd immunity. vaccination rates have fa

out tomorrow and if they are tested and get the vax they will be able to take two laps around the talladegaedway the world's baddest and fastest track. >> earlier i spoke with a medical analyst dr. rodriguez about the mask announcement and i asked him to explain why this decision opened a can of worms for businesses. >> i think the cdc's science is absolutely correct, that being vaccinated not only keeps you from getting seriously ill, it also keeps you from spreading the disease. but i think the announcement that everybody or people that are vaccinated, see, even i made the mistake. that people that are vaccinated can take off their maskedss was, too bankrabrupt and, b, a littl premature. now anybody could take their mask off. remember, the cdc gives guidelines. they don't create laws. they don't create policy. that is made by states and, you know, in local jurisdictions. so i think the fact that it was just thrown out there is what is causing this chaos because people that don't want to wear a masks, that is what they are hanging their hat on now. >> absolutely. the cdc was saying, you kn

in your state, tomorrow, talladega super speedway will let people take two laps around its iconic trackcentives can make a big difference? >> you know, i think whatever works, and that is an excellent approach in my mind. i mean, jake, i think what liz just said is true. honestly, the people who haven't been wearing masks are not going to get vaccinated just because then they don't have to wear masks because it doesn't make any sense. the people who don't want to get vaccinated are the same people, as she intimated, who haven't really been wanting to wear masks in the first place, so, you know, the cdc announcement was a real bombshell. i think many people had hoped and had been talking about a more gradual approach that took into account that still less than half of americans have a single vaccine shot, right, and we're still seeing jurisdictions that have really if not worry some notable case numbers and hospitalizations, so you have a real scramble today with people's head spinning trying to figure out how to implement and react to these guidelines on top of this vaccine reluctance w

i was recently in nascar race in talladega, tens of thousands of people. some vaccinated some not. almost all maskless. it was beautiful. it was the future. frankly, it was science at work. thanks to operation warp speed, needles are in arms and masks are coming off. but not in old america, like old europe but on our coast and government america. the so-called smartest among us they just can't quit the mask. the cdc's guidance said if you are vaccinated you don't need to wear a mask outside anymore. it's not enough for them. so the aforementioned worshipers of science ignore the science. the masks must stay on. we no longer have common ground or common science, so how in the world can we have common sense? get this: over the weekend, just this weekend, in the town of brook line, massachusetts the so-called second most educated town in america -- we'll get to that in a moment, too and across the river from harvard university, the town manager there mel checkner announced that the city's mask mandate will remain in place. asked cdc guidance to take masks off outside the masks must st
