Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce calls out N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy and N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo for their handling of COVID-19.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
I think that we are being
hounded by this date, because we
are pushing back against a very,
very clear political agenda at
this point and weve become a
thorn in the side for Governor
Murphy
and my partner, and I are not
willing to back down.
This is the weaponization of
these offices that are meant to
serve and protect people and
theyre, clearly being used to
punish us
Ainsley, a new Jersey, gym owner,
taking extraordinary measures to
stay open, as he fights to keep
his business from from closing
our next guest is calling out
state leaders from putting
control over common sense
here to explain Fox NEWS
contributor, Tammy Bruce
Good Morning, Tammy
Good Morning, Ainsley hi,
there
Eaps Iowans hi there.
What is your reaction to whats
happening in this state and the
gym owner saying he wants to
stay open?
Well, look thats, the
natural american ethic.
We our ans to haves risked
their lives. Some died trying to
get here to get away from the
heavy boot of government that
toll them, what they could and
could not do at various times
during the day
I know. Obviously, the pandemic
has been serious,
were all interested in our own
lives, being safe and being
healthy and our families, but
weve noticed decision making by
certain governors. Murphy is one
of them who followed the New
York model and Cuomos
decisions, for example with the
nursing homes.
So here youve got politicians
responsible for thousands of
deaths based on their decision
making to move Covid infected
patients into vulnerable
populations, and the next thing
we know youve got these same
individuals, Cuomo and Murphy.
Making decisions that seem to be
arbitrary are about the weeds
of decision making
out here in New York, its about
where you can sit if you have
to eat whether you have a drink
that you cant be moving around,
and these things change
seemingly arbitrarily from week
to week
and Murphy is doing. I think
the same thing
youve got governments
nature is to control, and this
dynamic pandemic has brought out
the worst and the best in
leadership
and, unfortunately for New
Jersey, its the worst
and men like the gym owner and
other business owners parents.
All of us, normals are really
going to have to support each
other. In the aftermath, as we
investigate why certain things
were occurring,
Ainsley is it political?
Is it because were one hundred and four days
away from an election,
I mean ive, heard people say
theyre, putting politics first
and people after that?
You know, I think initially,
of course, there was clearly a
dramatic reaction to what China
did.
All of this is Chinas fault,
but were finding out about
ourselves in the process.
In the beginning, it was a
genuine issue.
Remember I dont know Ainsley
are: do you want the fifteen days to
flatten? Do you remember the
fifteen is days to flatten the curve
that was reasonable,
but now look at whats
occurring.
Then it becomes and we deal
with this in our own lives.
What do you do when you can do
whatever you want
and were finding in November,
were going to remember in
November theres going to be a
lot of pawback in that regard,
payback in that regard
as a nation we have to look and
be reminded,
like after Katrina, officials
confiscated peoples, firearms,
it was determined
unconstitutional and illegal,
but they did it anyway.
This is governments, nature and
so good news for our citizens
and our patriots, whether the gym
owner or parents or others who
want to respect the nature of
being safe in a framework, but
not at this framework of killing
everyone. You know throwing
gasoline on the nation and
setting it on fire
and it is an election year.
That is not a coincidence.
They want to keep this framework
going of panic and chaos,
I think in part, because they
think it might hurt the
president.
They are wrong.
Americans are not infants,
we know what is going on and we
are going to defend our lives.
The president, I think, is
within that a framework
he understands that, but this is
not going to bode well for the
Democrats in November.
Ainsley Nancy Pelosi was on
another network yesterday and
called this Trump virus
laughter.
That tells you everything you
need to know.
We cant deal with the serious
problems if the Democrats are
not even willing to face
reality,
and that is the case in many
dynamics.
You know great segment earlier
on your show about the violence
in Chicago.
What were going to be abled to
do it able to do about it?
The violence in New York,
its not a coincidence, theyre
finally, cleaning up in front of
city hall because of President
Trump saying hes going to send
federal agents.
This is chaos that they want to
push out as far as possible,
the american people aring being
thrown into a political volcano,
because certain craven
politicians think that its
going to get them something in
November
theyre going to have another
message coming to them.
This is unacceptable, no matter
what your political party that
our children are being used as
hostages when it comes to
schools, reopening and our
businesses are being destroyed,
because some politician thinks
that hes God and he doesnt
care, because you with you know
youre going to be cannon fodder
because of the next job he or.
