>> Tucker: THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MISSION GUN GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER, A LOT OF THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW, THE VERY FIRST IF SHE TAKES THE CORONAVIRUS VERY SERIOUSLY. THAT IS WHY SHE BANS PEOPLE IN MICHIGAN FROM BUYING PAINT LAST YEAR, THAT IS WHY SHE IS NOW FORCING ALL 2-YEAR-OLDS IN THE STATE TO WEAR MASKS. IT IS ALSO WHY SHE WENT ON TELEVISION RECENTLY TO WARN THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN THAT THEY SHOULD NOT TRAVEL TO FLORIDA BECAUSE FLORIDA IS DANGEROUS. >> WELL COME AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS MIKE TO COME DOWN TO WHETHER OR NOT EVERYONE DOES THEIR PART IN. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. THIS VARIANT, THE VARIANT GROWING QUICKLY IN MICHIGAN, WE HAVE THE SECOND MOST OF IT, I THINK AFTER FLORIDA, AT LEAST THAT WAS THE LAST DATA I SAW. MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA ARE NOT NEXT TO EACH OTHER BUT THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR THAT SNOWBIRDS COME HOME FROM FLORIDA, WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING ON SPRING BREAK, AND ALL OF THESE THINGS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SPREAD. >> Tucker: IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO TO FLORIDA. EVERYONE HAS TO DO THEIR PART. DON'T GO TO FLORIDA. NOT LONG AFTER THAT, WE LEARNED THAT GRETCHEN WHITMER HAD GONE TO FLORIDA EARLIER THIS YEAR. NOW, WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG SHE WAS IN FLORIDA. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IN FLORIDA SHE WENT. NO ONE CAN FIND OUT BECAUSE HER OFFICE IS CITING "SECURITY CONCERNS." CHARLIE DUFF WORKED AT "THE NEW YORK TIMES" AMONG TIME, WON A PULITZER PRIZE, THEN WENT TO MICHIGAN AND DOING EVEN BETTER JOURNALIST. CHARLIE DUFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING ON TONIGHT. IT'S A PRETTY SIMPLE QUESTION, WHY DON'T YOU COME AS A MICHIGANDER COME HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY ARE GOVERNOR WAS DOING IN FLORIDA? >> BEATS ME. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, HERE ARE SOME BREAKING NEWS. I WAS TALKING TO THE FLORIDA STATE POLICE, AND THEY DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF HER CALLING UP AND ASKING FOR SOME EXECUTIVE SECURITY, WHICH IS NORMALLY THE COURSE OF ACTION, SO SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW, SO MADAME GOVERNOR, TELL US ALL, WHEN YOU WENT, HOW WENT YOU WENT, AND WHAT EXACTLY YOU RETURNED. THAT WOULD BE NICE. AND WHOSE CHECK DID YOU TAKE? >> Tucker: THAT'S THE OTHER QUESTION, HOW DID SHE GET THERE? YOU CAN BE IN A POSITION WHERE YOUR GOVERNOR IS A SUPER-SPREADER AND HE WOULD NOT KNOW. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE ASKED THESE QUESTIONS. HELP OTHERS HAVE ASKED. TELL US WHAT KIND OF ANSWER YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. >> HERE IS THE THING, NOT ONLY DO I FIND OUT SHE WENT, I FOUND OUT HER HEALTH DIRECTOR WENT DOWN TO MARGARITAVILLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC, NOT FULLY VACCINATED, NOR WAS THE GOVERNOR. I ASKED THE QUESTIONS, I DO THE GENTLEMANLY, JOURNALISTIC THING, AND I WAIT. AND WHILE I'M WAITING, THEY LEAK IT TO A FRIENDLY OUTLET THAT PUTS ICING ON THE CAKE AND A COUPLE OF ROSETTES, YOU KNOW, CANDY CANES, SO IT ALL COMES OUT SWEET. I WANT THE ANSWERS. SHE SAID, HER PEOPLE SAID YOU CAN'T GET THAT ANSWER BECAUSE ONGOING THREATS. WELL, IF THERE WAS ONGOING THREATS, WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL THE STATE TROOPERS IN FLORIDA? >> Tucker: THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION! AND BY THE WAY, THIS IS A TRIP THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED, SO HOW WOULD IT BE A THREAT TO THE GOVERNOR'S SECURITY TO TELL US SOMETHING THAT SHE HAS ALREADY DONE? >> HELLO, THIS IS THE STATE I AM LIVING IN, TUCKER. AND AGAIN, LOOK, OKAY, YOU SAY YOUR DAD IS SICK. THAT'S FINE, BUT A SERVANT LEADER EATS LAST, LEAVES THE BURNING BUILDING LAST, AND LEADS BY EXAMPLE. YOU DON'T GO SEE YOUR DAD, JUST LIKE I COULDN'T SEE MY DYING BROTHER THREE WEEKS AGO DRAW HIS LAST BREATH, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE DO. I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE DO. BUT I'M OF US DO, AND SOME OF US DON'T. >> Tucker: WELL, THAT'S AN AWFUL STORY. FIRST OF ALL, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. THE STATEMENT HAS REGULATIONS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR BROTHER WHEN HE DIES, BUT YOUR GOVERNOR IN FLORIDA PROBABLY ON A PRIVATE PLANE BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO SEE HER DAD. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE SAYS -- SHE SAID A COUPLE WEEKS EARLIER, ABOUT TEN DAYS BEFORE SHE GOT CAUGHT OUT, THAT SHE HASN'T LEFT IN 14 MONTHS. HER LAST TRIP WAS TO ISRAEL. THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RED FLAG, BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS SHE WENT TO THE INAUGURATION. HE WENT TO SEE YOUR DAD. WE WERE LOCKED DOWN BY HER LAST APRIL. WE COULDN'T GO TO OUR FISHING SHACK, COULDN'T GO-BETWEEN. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE LIVING WITH. JUST BE HONEST, BE STRAIGHT, AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE TOLD IT STRAIGHT AND CLEAR, THEY START TO REBEL. SO HERE'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT. IT'S OVER. NOBODY'S LISTENING. THIS THING IS GOING TO SPREAD. IT'S NOT KILLING CHILDREN. IT STILL ATTACKING THE OLD AND THE OBESE, AND SHE HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE STATE. THAT'S A FACT. >> Tucker: EXACTLY, BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T DESERVE CONTROL OF THE STATE. CHARLIE LIVED OFF, THANK YOU FOR ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS AND FOR YOUR PERSISTENCE. >> BY THE WAY, BRO, I'M GOING TO GET AN ANSWER ON MY LAWSUIT WITH THOSE NURSING HOME SOON, AND WH
