DAGEN MCDOWELL: Giant cannon ball, bla-bloom.

JOE BIDEN: This is totally irresponsible.

SANJAY GUPTA: Well, he shouldn't be taking it.

GREG GUTFELD: I love it what he this, yeah, just very casually, I'm taking hydroxychloroquine. I would've told you sooner. But you didn't ask.

- The president has every right to take this. And his doctor, who I respect, has every right to give it to him.

DONALD TRUMP: But you could ask-- many doctors are in favor of it, many frontline workers won't go there unless they have the hydroxy.
