JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): You're getting 900 bucks a week to not work. We needed that, maybe, that 300 bonus during the pandemic, but we've got to taper that off, or people aren't going to be able to hit the pavement. 

LAWRENCE JONES(CO-HOST):  Well, I think it's a strategy there, get drunk on government, depend on us, we're mommy and daddy. I think Ron DeSantis has the best idea. You got to take the money away. I mean, this is not rocket science. You got to take the money away so people can go back to work. Businesses are suffering as a result, because the government has become mommy and daddy, and we know how that experiment went once before.
