Republicans booed President Joe Biden at his State of the Union address when he said, "Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I'm not saying it's the majority." He was called a liar three times.

Then Republicans went after Social Security. And now, Fox & Friends is going there, too.

"So, let's talk about what's happening in France real quick," co-host Brian Kilmeade said. "There's been some protests after protests nonstop because Emmanuel Macron on his own raised the retirement age by two years."

The retirement age in France was raised from age 62 to age 64, which is still infuriating, but nothing like raising it to 70, which is what Republicans want.

Stuart Varney sarcastically said, "Whoop-de-do."

Kilmeade pushed for the retirement age to be raised here.

"And now he's facing a no-confidence vote, and he could lose his job," he said. "I think he did the responsible thing, we gotta raise the retirement age here, but no one has the guts to do it.

Varney said, "Yes, it's gonna come here."

All of those hosts are millionaires. Every single one of them.

Let's roll that clip one more time:
