MELISSA FRANCIS (CO-HOST): As she talks about the shut down, and you know, maybe we needed to do that sooner, you think back to when the president announced that he was closing our borders to people coming in from China, and you think about the night that he announced that he was closing down travel coming from Europe, and just the reaction at the time, and now, not so many days later, those items almost seem quaint. We have been through so much since then. It's really amazing.
PETE HEGSETH: You cannot say that this president has not taken this seriously from the beginning. If anything -- I saw, my friend Brian Kilmeade sent me an audio clip of Dr. Fauci in mid-January even then sort of saying, we don't know how bad or big this is going to be, there were a lot of people still at that time wondering how big could this become. Could early restrictions keep it at bay in our own country.
