GREG GUTFELD (HOST): I don't know, I would rather have a leader who lacks empathy and doesn't build body-- have body bags come in every week. You know I would rather have a tweeter who is a dove than a polite person who lets people die.

JUAN WILLIAMS (HOST): Wait a second, what is the body count on the COVID virus. The virus has a lot of body count.

GUTFELD: Well that has nothing to do with Trump. I don't think he created the virus in the lab, Juan. I don't think so. I'm talking about war. I’m talking about war.

WILLIAMS: I think Americans think that Donald Trump's lack of ability to deal with the virus has resulted in a lot of deaths.
