a little less time with the press. so we will do those remarks on wednesday. and people are going why did they do that? ainsley: why did they cancel that? steve: why did they do that? ainsley: maybe to focus more on the omicron variant. this new variant of covid. brian: i have a theory. it's a real round table and they actually wanted input and they have no idea what's going on with the supply chain. so if you actually get walmart, etsy, food lion, best buy almost said best boy samsung and cvs. if you get them together you actually want answers. if you can have a press conference before you actually meet, this shows it's window dressing. walmart in particular, they are an outlier because they have their own ships and planes. they can afford it but if you really want to get answers and you don't want to have a generic press conference we are on it and we have one dock that's open 24 hours a day. don't focus on the fact that we don't have any truck drivers and people working cranes and lifts to get anything off.
capitol saying, "hang mike pence." he's talking as if he's talking at a hostage video. basically saying, oh, my attackers aren't terrible people. don't focus too much on them. he's obviously trying to get back into the good graces of the maga world, but, of course, he was the one who had to be hurriedly rushed out of the senate chamber because people were literally going to do him and other members of congress physical harm. the worst armed attack on the seat of democracy since the war of 1812 that left five dead, 140 members of law enforcement injured. we all heard the testimony from four uniformed law enforcement officers, some of whom have served our country in uniform in the military overseas testify about the methods and mechanisms by which this armed mob stormed the capitol, and i don't think the vice president or anybody should be downplaying the events of january 6th. >> mike pence's only family, of course, also in the capitol that
worried because a lot of times there are critics who say don't focus on the case counts but results. it is true if younger get it they're less serious to get sick or die. but with the new case counts, 61,000 people hospitalized in the united states because of covid, a year ago it was 65,000, the parallels are eerie, the numbers about the same as it was a year ago and heading back up again, to your point of being concerned, these hospitalizations may be unlike some of those, most of these are completely unnecessary, right? because if you get vaccinated you're not going to end up in a hospital? >> yeah. i think it's also -- we've also because we've allowed transmission to go on for so long, so basically we haven't done enough with masking and vaccination and everything so this thing is perpetuating and mutating. we're finding ourselves in now, again, another wave that yeah,
and recessed the appropriation committee in washington banging out eight of the appropriation bills and incredibly busy week, all of us are focused on making wise investments in this country. there is talk about the process, is it going to be bipartisan, will the be the reconciliation, my view, don't focus on the process so much because so much is yet to be worked out and you could be going down the wrong rabbit hole it becomes a completely differently, what you really want to look at are the items being discussed, the investments being made in our country, things like investing in childcare, the child tax credit which is so important, so many of these are important for small business to succeed in our country right now i hear from business people that they're having a hard time of getting
serious way. democrats are all the sudden seeing move. i'm just taking back. all you have to do, don't focus in the eye and say i don't care, it's not my problem. >> kennedy? >> she has not appointed that, she has to go to the border because that's a very critical element of the crisis that this country is facing. and that mexico is facing. her diplomacy is lackluster, she's an unserious person. she's a cackling pantsuit and she reinforced that image when she couldn't anticipate one of the most simplest questions. let them know, you hear them. let moms with babies who are trying to crossover, let them know you see them. why don't you visit these kids? their policies are what is
some people, who are trying to tell him, cut it out. focus on going forward. don't focus on the past. that is, i'm told, not where he is right now. and it's interesting, because we have to look ahead to this weekend, anderson. the president -- former president -- is going to have a speech, for the first time in a long time, at a political convention. gop convention in north carolina. there is a lot of agitation, concern, about how far he is going to go into these conspiracies. because, yes, he has these statements that he puts out but he doesn't have social media, anymore. >> congressman, did you anticipate the president, the former president's power, remaining? i mean, i'm talking about among, you know, your gop colleagues, remaining as strong as it has been? >> no, i didn't. look. after january 6th, i predicted that by the summer, he's persona non grata. but a few weeks after the
