TURNED WHAT THEY TOLD US WAS A PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE INTO SOMETHING THAT'S VERY MUCH LIKE A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. IN A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, THE SIDE IS YOUR ENEMY. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PUBLIC HAS BECOME AN OPPONENT THAT POLITICIANS MUST SUBDUE AND DEFEAT. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OPPONENTS WHO ARE WORKING FOR YOU IN DEFEAT? YOU FEEL LOATHING AND CONTEMPT. THAT'S HOW THEY DO FEEL. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO FROM YESTERDAY. IT SHOWS DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS WOMAN FROM IOWA, SHE IS EXPLAINING HER PARTY'S RESPONSE TO COVID. SHE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING THAT REMARKABLE. IT'S HOW SHE SAYS IT. LISTEN TO HOW SHE TALKS ABOUT HER CONSTITUENTS. SHE SO CLEARLY HATES THEM. WATCH. >> NOW ALL THE SCHOOLS ARE BACK WANTING TO PUT MASK MANDATES IN AND ALL THE ANTI-VACCINE CRAZIES ARE OUT THERE. IT'S A HOT MESS. CHRISTIAN RIGHT IS -- EVERYTHING UNDER THE GUISE WHILE THEY HOLD A CROSS, FOR GOD OR WHATEVER. THEY USE IT LIKE A WEAPON. IT'S PAINFUL TO WATCH BECAUSE THEY WEAPONIZE RELIGION. THEY WEAPONIZE POLITICS. >> Tucker: CHRISTIANS ARE WEAPONIZING. NOTICE ALL THE ABORTION CLINICS THEY CLOSED. ALL NO IT WAS DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS THAT CLOSE CHURCHES, SPEAKING OF WEAPONIZING PUBLIC HEALTH. BUT YOU JUST HEARD THE CONGRESS WOMAN, THE ANTI-VAXER CRAZIES, THE CHRISTIANS HOLDING A CROSS FOR GOD OR WHATEVER. IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER THOSE ARE ACTUALLY HUMAN BEINGS SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. WEAKEST HUMAN BEINGS IN OUR COUNTRY. YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE BECAUSE SHE CLEARLY LOATHES THEM. SHE HATES THEM. YOU HEAR THIS TONE A LOT FROM POLITICIANS. A LOT. IT'S NOT SYMPATHY. CERTAINLY NOT EMPATHY. IT'S NOT EVEN A SINCERE ATTEMPT TO MAKE PEOPLE BETTER OR HEALTHIER. IT'S HATE. HERE'S THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK THREATENING TO HURT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T GET THE SHOT, WHETHER THEY NEED IT OR NOT. LISTEN. >> MOST PEOPLE, VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH WHO SAY THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GET VACCINATED, MAKE A DIFFERENT DECISION WHEN IT BECOMES VERY VERY PRACTICAL. NOW SOMEONE IS REALLY LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY THEY WON'T HAVE A PAY CHECK FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THEY MAY EVEN LOSE THEIR JOB. LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY, HOLD UP. I'LL GET VACCINATED. >> Tucker: WE'LL TAKE YOUR PAY CHECK AWAY. JUST PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE OR STARVE YOU TO DEATH, BEAT UP YOUR KIDS. TURNS OUT IF YOU HURT PEOPLE ENOUGH, THEY WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAY. THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. BILL DEBLASIO IS CLEARLY A MORON, BUT EVEN HE UNDERSTANDS THAT. IT DOES WORK. UNITED AIRLINES ANNOUNCED IT IS FIRING 600 PEOPLE. WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT? THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FINES. NOW 600 PEOPLE ARE UNEMPLOYED. OH BY THE WAY, THEY HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE. THAT'S HOW WE'RE MAKING MESH HEALTHIER. GOT IT? THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING IN THE AIRLINES. IN HOSPITALS MASS FIRINGS ARE NOW UNDER WAY. WHERE'S THE CONGRESS IN THIS? GOOD QUESTION. MEANWHILE, ONE HOSPITAL IN NORTH CAROLINA JUST CANNED 175 PEOPLE. REMEMBER, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, RIGHT? MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T EMPTY THE HOSPITALS OF THE EMPLOYEES. IT WAS ALREADY NATIONWIDE A SEVERE SHORTAGE OF NURSES. HOSPITALS ARE CLOSING WINGS 'CAUSE THERE'S NO ONE TO STAFF THEM. NOW THERE ARE FEWER PEOPLE. NONE OF THE PEOPLE CAN COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT. THEY'RE DONE. THEY'RE DESTROYED. THEY'RE PUNISHED. THESE AREN'T THE CEO'S OF BIG COMPANIES. THESE AREN'T PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AFFLUENT NEIGHBORHOODS. THESE ARE HOURLY WORKERS. THESE ARE PEOPLE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY USED TO CARE ABOUT. THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH NO POWER WHATSOEVER WHO WORK AROUND SICK PEOPLE FOR THE DURATION OF A DEADLY PANDEMIC. AND RATHER THAN THANK THEM, WE'RE FIRING THEM, WITH NO UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AND NO HEALTH INSURANCE. A LOT OF THEM, IN NEW YORK THE DEADLINE FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS HAS ALREADY PASSED. ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT FIGURE, 16% OF THE STATE'S HOSPITAL WORKERS, 83,000 PEOPLE, REMAIN UNVACCINATED. 80% OF THOSE WORKERS HAVE NOT GOTTEN A SINGLE DOSE OF THE VACCINE. THAT MEANS THEY'RE GOING TO BE FIRED. THE QUESTION IS ONCE AGAIN, WHO'S GOING TO STAFF THE HOSPITAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS? THAT'S AN EASY ANSWER ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS GOING TO USE THE MILITARY TO DO IT AND THEN HIRE TEMP WORKERS FROM THE PHILIPPINES. LUNACY. BY THE WAY, ONCE AGAIN WHY EXACTLY ARE ALL THESE HEALTH CARE WORKERS, THOUSANDS OF THEM NATIONWIDE, REFUSING TO GET THE COVID VACCINE? THAT IS AN ENTIRELY FAIR QUESTION AND NO ONE IS ASKING IT. IT MIGHT BE WORTH FINDING OUT. YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE. THEY MIGHT KNOW MORE ABOUT HEALTH CARE, CONSIDERING THAT'S WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING. THEY TREAT PEOPLE WITH COVID EVERY DAY. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE UNINFORMED. WHAT IS IT, EXACTLY? IT'S NOT A FEW PEOPLE. IT'S THOUSANDS. WHY? NO ONE CARES. PUNISH THEM. THEY'RE WEAK. NOW CRUSHED. MEANWHILE, AS WE'RE FIRING NURSES AND DOCTORS, WE'RE LETTING THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THIS COUNTRY, MANY INFECTED WITH DISEASES, INCLUDING COVID. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT BECAUSE IT'S SOME SORT OF SLUR. BUT IT'S FACTUALLY TRUE. IN FACT, NOT ONLY IS IT TRUE. SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY JUST ADMITTED IT. HE EXPLAINED 20% OF THE PEOPLE COMING ACROSS THE BORDER HAVE AN UNIDENTIFIED ILLNESS OF SOME KIND. HERE IT IS. >> WE ARE CONFRONTED WITH A POPULATION OF PEOPLE THAT, AS A GENERAL MATTER, HAVE A RATE OF ILLNESS OF APPROXIMATELY 20%. >> Tucker: OH, OKAY. SO WE'RE FIRING HEALTHCARE WORKERS BECAUSE THEY WON'T GET THE VACCINE AND THEN LETTING IN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHOSE ENEMIES WE CAN'T VERIFY, WHO ARE SICK WITH DISEASES WE CAN'T ALWAYS IDENTIFY, INCLUDING COVID. NONE OF THEM ARE REQUIRED TO GET THE VACCINE, IN CONTRAST TO THE NURSES WE JUST FIRED. THAT LEAVES OUR HOSPITALS SHORT STAFFED, MANY MORE SICK PEOPLE COMING IN WHO WILL NEED TREATMENT AT PUBLIC EXPENSE. WHO'S DOING THAT? AND WHY? WHAT IS THE POINT? THEY'RE TELLING US THAT HEALTHCARE WORKERS NEED TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THEY ARE A THREAT TO THE COUNTRY? THIS IS ALL HAPPENING VERY, VERY QUICKLY. IT'S HAPPENING WITHOUT ANY MEDICAL BASIS WHATSOEVER. REMEMBER, IT WAS JUST LAST YEAR THAT JOE BIDEN WAS TELLING US THAT HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARE HEROES. AND HE WAS RIGHT. >> TO ALL THE DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO WORK IN THE ICU UNITS, HOPE YOU ALL KNOW YOU'RE TRULY SOME OF THE GREATEST HEROES THIS NATION HAS SEEN. TAKE TRACY IN MASSACHUSETTS. SHE'S A NURSE WHO'S BEEN TREATING VETERANS WITH COVID-19 EVERY DAY SHE'S HAD TO PUT ON A HAZMAT SUIT AND GO TO WORK FOR 12 HOURS DAYS ON END. IF IT WASN'T FOR FOLKS LIKE TRACY, OUR OWN FAMILIES WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO BE REUNITED. YOU WANT TO FIND A HERO IN AMERICA, THEY'RE ALL AROUND US, AND TRACY'S ONE OF THEM. >> Tucker: THAT'S 100% RIGHT. ANYONE WHO'S EVER BEEN SICK AND HAS EVER SPENT ANY TIME IN THE HOSPITAL KNOWS ONE GOOD NURSE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. THEY REALLY ARE SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. WHY ARE WE FIRING THOUSANDS OF THEM? WHY IS JOE BIDEN DOING IT? AS A SCIENTIFIC MATTER, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. UNVACCINATED HEALTH CARE WORKERS DO NOT POSE A THREAT TO THEIR VACCINATED PATIENTS OR COWORKERS, PERIOD. IF YOU'RE VACCINATED, YOU WILL LIKELY BE FINE. THAT'S WHAT THE DATA SHOWS. THAT'S WHAT THEY TELL US DAY AFTER DAY. VACCINATED PEOPLE HAVE A GREATER CHANCE OF DYING FROM A LIGHTNING STRIKE THAN DYING FROM COVID, UNLESS THEY DIE FROM A BEE STING, DOG ATTACK. THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS. WE HEAR THEM VERY OFTEN. SO WHY ARE UNVACCINATED PEOPLE A THREAT TO THEM? NOT ONE PERSON HAS ANSWERED THAT QUESTION. NO ONE IS EVEN ASKING IT. WHY ARE WE FIRING THEM? WHY ARE WE BLAMING THEM? WHY ARE WE IN THEIR FACE ATTACKING THEM? DEMONIZING THEM. BUT NO ONE'S PUSHING BACK. THIS IS COMING TO BORDER PATROL, THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. MASS FIRINGS ARE LIKELY TO CONTROL IN THE BORDER PATROL AGENCY. IT'S CRAZY. BUT IF THERE'S ONE SAD LESSON, MAYBE THE SADDEST LESSON OF THIS PANDEMIC IS THAT AUTHORITARIANISM IS ALIVE. LISTEN TO THE CROWD'S REACTION AS PHIL MURPHY EQUATES NOT GETTING THE COVID SHOT TO DRUNK DRIVING. >> SAYING THAT GOVERNMENTS CAN'T MANDATE A VACCINE OR NO MASKING IS AKIN TO SUPPORTING DRUNK DRIVING. IT IMPACTS THE PERSON DRIVING DRUNK BUT ALL THE REST OF US. THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE BEAT THIS. >> Tucker: HOW IS IT LIKE DRUNK DRIVING? HOW DO UNVACCINATED PEOPLE HURT ANYBODY? PHIL MURPHY, GOT A SECOND? WE'VE GOT TIME. EXPLAIN IT TO US. IT WAS A YEAR OR SO AGO IF A POLITICIAN SAID THAT, THEY WOULD BE LAUGHED OFF THE STAGE. A POLITICIAN THAT ENDORSED FIRING THOUSANDS OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS DURING A PANDEMIC, CALLING THEM CRIMINALS, DEHUMANIZING THEM, WOULD BE DEVILED. NOW IT GETS APPLAUSE. IT'S BECAUSE OUR LEADERS REALIZE LEVERAGE FEAR TO CRUSH TPHAEUR POLITICAL OPPONENT. IF THAT MEANS FINING PEOPLE $700,000 FOR EMPLOYING SOMEONE, THROWING THE WEAKEST PEOPLE IN OUR SOCIETY OUT ON THE STREET WITH NO UNEMPLOYMENT INS
