JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): I think everybody should read this opening statement by RFK Jr. It's moving, it's powerful, and the fact that he's questioning the war in Ukraine, big business, big tech, makes him a threat. So they're calling him an antisemite, and he says pretty passionately he has done more for the state of Israel than most of these people sitting in Congress today. 

JESSICA TARLOV (CO-HOST): You watched what he said? 

WATTERS: I did.  

TARLOV: And know about the antisemitic tropes that exist about Jewish people? 

WATTERS: I think what he was trying to say is that -- I'll tell you, Jessica. He said --

TARLOV: You tell the Jew at the table.

WATTERS: -- "viruses affect different people differently." And then he cited a study. And then, you basically said he's anti -- I don't know if the study's right! No one knows. It's just a study. You can't cite a study with everybody going crazy? It's just a study.
