This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
With that being said, im a
believer in masks.
I think masks are good
sure to react to all
of this is counselor to the
President, Kellyanne Conway
Kellyanne. Thank you so much for
being here.
I appreciate it
hi Tammy
look. This interview
is going to be great on Sunday
every time the president has a
chance to speak his mind. The
american people realize how
serious he is and what he wants
to get done.
That conversation in particular
is very important because he was
talking about Dr Fauci, who
flip flopped on the issue of
masks. As an example,
now ive got the president hes
not doing those briefings that
he was doing every day, but weve
got Dr Fauci with his big
spread and in style magazine
hes going around kind. Every
and perhaps a lack of
seriousness are vanity
thats impacting him.
What do you think of the
presidents opinion his voice
being able to get out there out
there lament more when it comes
to this continuing conversation
about the coronavirus?
I am a volunteer and ive
been very public about, including
today
the President had a fifty one percent approval
rating handling. The pandemic,
when he was doing the daily
briefings
they dont, need to be two hours
long
with confrontations. Instead of
information with a press car
that just venerating him and
trying to battle him for their
own book fees in speaking
fees and fame,
he can provide information to
Americans because nobody does
that, quite like President Trump
hes already provided what I
call the democratization of
information through his twitter
feed and all the social media
platforms
he has one hundred and seventy million, or so
followers on social media
hes cut out the middleman
Tammy
everybody gets the information
from the president. At the same
time, stay at home, moms
billionaire ceos, the plumber
on the job checking his phone,
the only people who dont like
the fact the president has cut
out the middleman is the
middleman
and thats the media.
But I think when the president
provides basic information about
where we are coronavirus and
look, he and the task force were
doing at a reasonable day. When
the information was devastating.
We had over two thousand deaths per
day.
We were there,
the president was there every
slow day. Every weekend
he was in the White House with
the coronavirus task force.
All of that were, there was put
forward really now needs to, I
believe, be carried through.
I want to say this
people try to separate
president Trump for members of
his task force, including
Dr Fauci.
They are all on the same
task force.
Dr Fauci is part of the
presidents government. Now, as is
Dr Redfield, Dr Birx and
others,
but also our great economist,
secretary of Labor and
treasuring. Other people are
trying to get the economic
relief going.
This presidents handling of
dual financial and medical
crisis has been excellent.
People dont want to give them
credit for a surging ventilator
capacity. I see you capacity
exercising their domestic
production act, working
working with democratic
governors,
hes dont trickle down, so many
great things that people dont
want to give them credit for, but
the american people see
it
the american people
dont necessarily see it all,
because the media covers it up
right.
They dont talk about those
things,
its always the panic porn. If
you will
negativity
even the muni deletion of the
numbers,
we thought polls were many
related, but now we have the
actual data we are finding out.
That was manipulated about the
coronavirus,
its clear, the president should
at least have a voice in making
sure that people know exactly
what it isnt going on because
they appreciate it. But in the midst of that as we,
but in the midst of that, as we
heard with the presidents
answer regarding schools- is that
theres also this misinformation
about the danger of schools.
Europe has open up their
schools.
Theyve not found a surge
pediatricians in the
United States are saying you
must get children back into this
environment.
What can we do,
and obviously I think the
presidents right, but he must
take some action to be able to
move this forward.
Otherwise, its going to be a
lost generation
forget about a lost economy.
This is going to go on as a
problem for twenty years.
Its true and you know, was
disproportionately hurt by this.
Some of our lower income
students, those who rely upon
school choice, opportunity
scholarships charter schools.
They dont have the certainty
that they are going to have the
continuity Tammy.
Some of us are pushing for
legislation to make sure that if
their schools arent open, they
can take that money with them
and go to another school.
So we stop this interruption in
their academic schooling, but
also in all the services that so
many of our school children
across the country rely upon.
In the first three weeks in
March, seventy five million students
stopped going to school,
nearly one hundred percent of our students
werent in school.
We saw the digital divide they
bear.
So many of this kids could not
access basic digital assets to
let them learn remotely.
The statistics are worth
repeating that our schools
report about one in five
child abuse cases
its a place where many of our
students get their nutrition,
its where they are able to see
another adult and tell them
something
they get their mental health
services basic health services.
All that is so boring because we
cant create a pandemic within a
everybody, wants it done safely
and securely.
Ive talked to school districts
and superintendents and board
members, and some people are
being very creative with
solutions that are coming up
with to be creative and
innovative and get these kids
back to school.
It wont maybe feel the same.
Maybe if fewer assemblies
mom and dad cant come in and do
reading timer cupcake parties
for birthdays,
we can be innovative.
We are America,
we have to get kids back in
school and Joe Bidens against
school choice, opportunity
scholarships
standing in the schoolhouse door,
traveling kids inside of it
cant get a better education,
preventing other kids from going
in and starting the school year.
