Reopen of having neanderthal thinking Steve, not much sweet talking coming from the White House, the Fox NEWS analyst for the first time now they are on the team. Congratulations! What have you been doing going to the zoo, with my daughter having Fun Steve in between you have the hardest job in America? I know Donald Trump approached. I know Donald Trump approached this. He got criticism for that. The states want their autonomy. Are you surprised that the tone and the comments, because Governor Abbott wanted to open his state as well as the governor of Mississippi? I am surprised he was supposed to be the great
uniter, but this is what Democrats do Kate Reeves was spot on? They call is an intelligent if we cant point to countries on a map. This is what Democrats do to those who tie this to autonomy simply giving freedom causes Joe Biden, the great uniter, to call us neanderthals. Among other words, he is acting like texas- is the first to do that or Mississippi. Fifteen states are not requiring masks. Alabama says they are set to Alabama says they are set to expire tomorrow reporter using this pandemic. Using this pandemic to control, people is what theyve done from the beginning
and when Donald Trump pointed to the science and said reopening is what we need to do, because there are repercussions when you lockdown, they call from anti science. In July I stood at the podium and that it is time to open schools. The science is here. They said we are not following the science. We are in a different place now than we were many months ago, and governors like RON Desantis in Florida allows people to make their own choices and they do so intelligently Steve. These are things they would like to ask Joe Biden, but he really, we will show you statistics in the moment and statistics in the moment and solo interview with the White House Press corps in the Resume House press corps in the resume call with House Democrats, it looks like when Joe goes off
script. Watch this and figure out what happened out. What happened, whatever you want me to do, looks like he was not supposed to take questions that could have been one of the things weve seen in the past. Initial comments are telecasts and they break into discussion groups, but why hasnt he had a solo press conference. Is it like a campaign where he was hiding in the basement reporter? That was his? That was his strategy all along his oval office, never going out to the Brady Press briefing room, but that is what he offered. He
gave transparency and maybe we wont take questions. He was always willing to take questions. Go to the podium to stop on his way to the helicopter transparency. He set a one hundred year record for not going to the record for not going to the podium Ainsley. It worked. He got elected by saying. Is this going to work? Do you think they will say he is already in office? We control what he does and never let him do a press conference. They have to do a press conference. At some point, Jen Psaki has said the pressure is mounting how operational this is have. This may cut him. This is have this may cut him off for so long wants to give people the freedom doesnt mean Kroger cant make
their own decisions. They want you to wear a mask, Jcpenney Starbucks, giving you the ability showing where lockdown is more effective than freedom. Florida has better numbers in California and New York. It is not go crazy. You have the obligation, you have the freedom to do. What you want lets talk about the job you used to. Have you dont have big binders in front of you. You knew where they were going to go. This is Jen. Psaki ive not talked to the national security team about it details on thehe writing of the proclamation. They would have more specifics. I dont know if it will include
specific recommendations. I am happy to circle back with the team on that. I hate to disappoint conservative twitter, but im going to circle back, you cant anticipate every question, but it is like you are a crossing guard. I wish Jen Psaki all the best. It is a very hard job, but that being said, we took great pains in our administration for hours and administration for hours and hours of research or days calling Secretary Jen Psaki Azar. I always knew where my boss stood unlike other press secretary, fits and have walk in privileges. I can walk in at any time always knew where he stood before every press conference. A list of items I found the press would ask and go through one by one: didnt have to do it in of circling back, because Donald
Trump gave a lot of access, ive heard from people who say they tried to answer the question or somebody from the communications team lets talk about what is going lets talk about what is going on on Capitol Hill. One of the reasons Joe Biden had to have resume, trying to make sure everybody is on board with one dollar and eighty nine cents trillion stimulus. When you look at the numbers of the economy. Coming to the point pretty much where we were before the pandemic, a lot of Republicans spending close to two dollars trillion on this money. We dont have people want their checks, but so much of that their checks. But so much of that bill is not coronavirus, related pet project. Nine percent goes to Covid 19 and what Joe
Biden should do is, instead of just paying lip service to bipartisanship, he could do it. Donald Trump in our administration managed to get three or four pieces of bipartisan Covid 19 legislation Show Biden said he was going to unite to engage bipartisanship, and I have talked to this many republican elected officials, but never takes a step towards them. It was the previous administration Steve. It is neanderthal thinking. I will use his words and throw them back at him. Ainsley. You did a great job with Harris Fokker coming back to the Fox family. You got your television start here and coming back and we are happy and proud of your career of your career. What is the future of the GOP? People have sent an unmistakable message that they support Donald Trump. The polling shows that there are other incredible leaders who have said the party
is going in this direction. Im going to go that way too RON Desantis the Vice President MIKE Pence, amazing present Josh Halley, who you just had on the leaders of the party, need to follow the direction people take us, because I am so proud that in the last election we got the most votes, any president had gotten in twenty years the biggest hispanic voting sixteen years. It is extraordinary the way the party has opened up and we need to welcome more and more people, Ainsley a lot of speculation about the relationship with Vice President Pence, very strong speech RON Desantis had a quick show. What can you tell us about the relationship between those two? You couldnt get a piece of paper between them for four years, and now they dont seem to be in communication, ive not fit into their relationship, but they are their relationship, but they are
on great terms. Mike Pence is an amazing man who stood by Donald trumps side. Was there every step of the way understands the Trump movement people of faith and the evangelical community has a huge voice and his party going forward? They are on the same.
