We will not comply with lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine mandates. Schools will remain open, and we will resist any attempts to enforce these measures. When I return to the White House, I will cut federal funding to any institution, including schools and airlines, that imposes such mandates. Thank you.

There are people who do not want to comply and get vaccinated, and we have to get them vaccinated. Hopefully, they will do it willingly. If not, there will have to be things that will essentially put pressure on them. For example, you're not going to work in this particular agency or institution, or go to this college or university unless you get vaccinated. Once we start doing that, you will see more and more people willingly get vaccinated.

The speaker frequently called the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts, who worked for a Republican governor. The Secretary asked if they would allow professional football, and the speaker responded that they would not. The Secretary replied that neither would they. The speaker also had conversations about when Massachusetts would consider easing restrictions, with the state official suggesting "next Monday."

I frequently called the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts to discuss COVID-19 restrictions. She mentioned they were not allowing professional football, and I agreed. We also talked about when they would ease restrictions, with the plan being to do so the following Monday.

Some states are not taking necessary actions to control the outbreak because they are led by Republicans who dislike being told what to do. It is important to address this resistance and find a solution.

The speaker argues that people don’t feel like going to the stadium due to infection risk and that you don’t have a choice; it’s not the government telling them to ignore the disease. People are deeply affected by seeing these deaths and by knowing they could be part of the transmission chain, with old people, their parents, and grandparents potentially affected. There will be the ability, particularly in rich countries, to open up if things are done well over the next few months. But for the world at large, normalcy only returns when we've largely vaccinated the entire global population.

I advised the president to shut down the country, despite knowing it would have significant economic consequences. I did not recommend locking anything down, but rather made a difficult decision to protect public health.

I frequently called the secretary of health and human services in Massachusetts, who worked for a republican governor. We discussed whether professional football should be allowed, and we both agreed it shouldn't. We also talked about when restrictions would be eased, and they mentioned it would happen next Monday.

I recommended shutting down the country to control the spread of infection, but I don't regret it. If we had known earlier, we would have shut down sooner. Some criticize the economic impact, while others question why we didn't shut down earlier if it saved lives. I believe shutting down was necessary to prevent the explosion of infections. Regarding New York's shutdown, I never praised Governor Cuomo for having the highest death rate. That's a misunderstanding.

California and Florida are two contrasting states in terms of COVID-19 restrictions. Despite California being in lockdown, their numbers are not significantly different from Florida's. Doctors have warned about potential super spread events, which could lead to a surge in cases. However, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have been decreasing nationwide. Restaurants, bars, and ballparks are open and operating at full capacity. The reason for the decline in cases is unclear, but it could be attributed to outdoor activities. Comparing the two states directly is challenging due to various factors.

COVID lockdowns killed businesses, tore apart communities, and stunted our kids' education. As long as I'm governor, Arkansas will never lock down. We won't close schools, churches, or businesses, and we won't mandate masks or COVID vaccines. Individual liberty should always prevail over government control, as our nation was founded on this principle. If the federal government tries to shut us down again, my administration will fight to keep Arkansas free.

My concern is that vaccine hesitancy will prevent us from achieving herd immunity. It's not just the small percentage of anti-vaxxers, but also millions of people who have concerns about the vaccine and don't understand its benefits. We need to clearly communicate that the vaccine is the key to returning to normal life. With states reopening at full capacity, we have a limited opportunity to link reopening policies to vaccination status. If everything is reopened without incentives for vaccination, people will enjoy their freedoms without getting vaccinated. The CDC and the Biden administration should boldly state the benefits of vaccination and the freedoms it provides.

Governor mentioned concerns about the upcoming election and what would make him not accept the results. He stated that if the secretary of state conducts an illegal election, that would be an issue. He hopes that won't happen.

I advised the president to shut down the country, despite knowing it would have significant economic consequences. I did not recommend locking anything down, but rather made a difficult decision to protect public health.

People often think they have a choice when it comes to attending events like going to a stadium. However, the fear of being part of the transmission chain and potentially causing harm to older generations makes people hesitant. It's important to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation and not ignore it. If things are handled properly in the coming months, there is a possibility of reopening, especially in wealthier nations.

Dr. Oz acknowledges the heavy toll of COVID-19 in the New York/New Jersey area, emphasizing the success of social distancing but cautioning against complacency. He suggests some states with strong leadership and responsible citizens should consider easing restrictions first, learning from countries that prioritized social distancing over complete shutdowns. Dr. Oz highlights the importance of states coordinating supply chain management to avoid shortages. He notes regional differences necessitate tailored approaches, referencing the CDC guidelines and various state coalitions. He stresses that 90% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients have chronic conditions, urging vulnerable populations to remain cautious during reopening phases. Dr. Oz emphasizes personal responsibility in managing chronic illnesses to improve COVID-19 outcomes and facilitate earlier participation in the recovery.

In states with evidence of community transmission, it is recommended to close bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other venues where people gather. The speaker asks if the president is instructing governors in those states to close all their restaurants.

Hospitals in 8 states have reintroduced masking due to a rise in respiratory viruses like flu and COVID-19. The White House believes that decisions regarding masking should be made at the local level by hospitals, communities, cities, and states. They do not interfere in these matters.

Speaker 1 defends the decision to recommend a shutdown, stating that it was necessary to control the spread of the virus. They acknowledge that if they had known earlier about the effectiveness of shutting down, they would have done it sooner. Speaker 2 questions the praise for Governor Cuomo's handling of the situation in New York, pointing out the high death rate. Speaker 1 clarifies that they did not praise Cuomo and accuses the senator of misconstruing their words.

We are not considering removing the mandate; it's not on the agenda. Our immediate priority is to protect unvaccinated individuals from infection, which means keeping them away from crowded places. Many restrictions have been lifted in hospitality venues, allowing vaccinated individuals to live normally. It's unfair to ask vaccinated people to make sacrifices for the small number of unvaccinated individuals.

I did not recommend locking everything down. I advised the president to shut the country down, which was a tough decision due to the significant economic consequences it would bring.

We need to argue as politicians why we do or don't do something. If we have offered many people the opportunity to get vaccinated and some refuse, we may need to make distinctions and say that those who don't want to be vaccinated may not be able to do certain things.

I recommended shutting down the country to control the spread of the virus, but I don't regret it. If I had known earlier that shutting down would be so effective, we would have done it sooner. Some criticize the economic impact, while others question why we didn't shut down earlier if it saves lives. Regarding New York, you misunderstand my support for Cuomo.

The government encourages vaccination. If you choose not to get vaccinated, you can't travel with vaccinated people and endanger them. We must stand firm in our decisions.

In response to a question, the speaker mentions that there is an answer to the situation. They defer to someone named Howdy, who was their mentor, to speak. The speaker then mentions that in states with evidence of community transmission, certain places like bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other venues where people gather should be closed. However, they clarify that they haven't explicitly stated that governors in those states should close everything.
