JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): When Biden talks about changing the lives of Americans, as far as I'm concerned, they don't deserve to have their lives changed yet. They don't have enough sweat equity in this country yet. These are people who just -- you can shake your head all you want, Richard -- these are people who have just gotten a loan, okay? They're making, many of them, up to $125,000 or $250,000 a household.

You know who's got sweat equity? Senior citizens who are living on a fixed income, who don't have the money for medication and for food and for the increased cost of gas. You know who doesn't have money and who shouldn't have to pay $2,000 in taxpayer for this increase, which is ultimately a tax on all of us? Are the veterans who went and fought for this country and some of them come back with fewer limbs than they left with. Those are the people who deserve a handout.
