ELIZABETH: OKAY, LET’S WELCOME
BACK TO THE SHOW YOUNG AMERICANS
FOR LIBERTY ANALYST KRISTIN
TATE.
SHE IS A GREAT AUTHOR AND
COLUMNIST.
WHEN YOU SAW "60 MINUTES" LESLEY
STAHL CALL OUT HOUSE SPEAKER
PELOSI SAYING YOU WERE
OBSTRUCTING COVID-19 RELIEF FOR
EIGHT MONTHS.
PELOSI DODGED IT, THE QUESTION,
RATHER.
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THAT?
>> WELL, PELOSI HAS SHOWN SHE IS
COMPLETELY CAPABLE REACHING
ACROSS THE AISLE AND THAT HER
PRIORITY IS NOT WORKING FOR THE
PEOPLE BUT HARMING HER POLITICAL
OPPOSITION.
THE FACT THAT SHE HELD OUT ON A
COVID RELIEF BILL FOR EIGHT
MONTHS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF
THAT.
I MEAN THIS BILL COULD HAVE BEEN
PASSED BACK IN JULY OR AUGUST
WHEN MITCH McCONNELL WAS
SAYING THAT THE COUNTRY NEEDED A
RELIEF PACKAGE, VERY SIMILAR TO
THE ONE THAT WAS JUST PASSED BUT
PELOSI AND HER DEMOCRATIC ILK,
THEY HELD OUT BECAUSE THEY
WANTED TO CREATE BAT OPTICS FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE
REPUBLICANS.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THEY SHOULD
BE FURIOUS THAT THEIR RELIEF WAS
USED AS POLITICAL TOOL.
QUITE FRANKLY, LIZ, THEY SHOULD
BE FURIOUS THE SAME DEMOCRATS
WERE CHEERING ON DRACONIAN
LOCKDOWNS FOR NEARLY A YEAR THAT
DEVASTATED THE ECONOMY, KILLED
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF JOBS
AND PUT AN UNTOLD NUMBER OF
BUSINESSES OUT OF BUSINESS FOR GOOD.
PERHAPS WE WOULDN’T HAVE NEED AD
THEY MAY HAVE BUT IT ISN’T, IT
WASN’T A MISTAKE.
ELIZABETH: OKAY.
YOU SEE PELOSI GOING FOR THE
EMOTIONAL GUT PUNCH, BRINGING UP
FIRST-RESPONDERS BUT WE HAVE THE
REALITY.
WE HAVE THE FACTS, KRISTIN.
MAY 2020, SENATE REPUBLICANS
SAID LED BY CHUCK GRASSLEY A
BIPARTISAN PUSH WITH CORY BOOKER
WE’LL GET FAMILIES AND THE
FIRST-RESPONDERS MORE MONEY.
THAT IS IN MAY.
WE ARE ALSO SEEING MORE P P.E.
MONEY FOR FIRST-RESPONDERS BACK
IN THE SPRING.
WE’RE SEEING MORE GOVERNMENT
BENEFITS THE SENATE WAS TALKING
ABOUT FOR FIRST-RESPONDERS, FOR
TEACHERS, TRANSPORTATION, GOOD
WORKERS HEALTH WORKERS BACK IN
THE SUMMER.
THEY STARTED OUT WITH
2.3 TRILLION.
NANCY PELOSI ADMITTED SHE
STONEWALLED BECAUSE SHE WANTED
TO GIVE JOE BIDEN THAT VICTORY,
BECAUSE THE ELECTION WAS QUOTE A
TOTAL GAME-CHANGER.
WE’VE GOT JOE BIDEN.
NOW YOU WHAT YOU JUST SAID THEY
HAVE LOCKED DOWN, SHUT DOWN THE
ECONOMY.
PELOSI SAT ON IT FOR EIGHT
MONTHS.
THEY’RE GIVING JOE BIDEN A ONE
TRILLION DOLLAR BILL TO SIGN
OFF.
THEY’RE WORKING ON THAT.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?
>> THAT IS EXACTLY THOUGHT.
IT IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS.
ALL YEAR THE MEDIA AND THE
DEMOCRATS WERE USING THIS
PANDEMIC FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
THE MEDIA CONTINUED TO WRITE
THESE FEAR-DRIVEN STORIES ON
COVID NOT BASED ON SCIENCE OR
FACTS WHILE THE DEMOCRATS
REFUSED TO PASS STIMULUS BILLS
AND CLOSE DOWN THE ECONOMY.
NOW THAT BIDEN HAS BEEN ELECTED
I EXPECT THE COVID
FEAR-MONGERING TO STOP.
I EXPECT MANY BLUE STATES AND
CITIES TO REOPEN AND, THEY’RE
PROBABLY GOING TO CREDIT BIDEN
WITH AN ECONOMY THAT IS ON THE
MEND.
ELIZABETH: THEY LOCKED DOWN THE
ECONOMY, THEY LOCKED DOWN THE
ECONOMY FOR EIGHT MONTHS.
THEY STARTED OUT WITH
2.3 TRILLION.
PELOSI SAT ON IT TO GIVE
JOE BIDEN A VICTORY WHILE PEOPLE
AND FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR
BUSINESSES AND GETTING WIPED
OUT!
YOU SEE MORE CHILDREN, TENS OF
THOUSANDS MORE CHILDREN BEING
MALNOURISHED BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT
IN D.C. OVER OUR TAXPAYER MONEY
WHO WAS GOING TO GET IT.
NOW IT IS LOADED WITH PORK FOR
OVERSEAS COUNTRIES, REALLY?
THEY THINK THIS IS LEADERSHIP,
KRISTIN?
I AM TIRED OF THIS PERSONALLY.
I KNOW FIRST-RESPONDERS.
WE HAVE TEACHERS, FIREMEN, WE
KNOW COPS, WE’VE GOT FIREMEN IN
OUR FAMILY.
THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH PULLING
DEAD BODIES OUT OF HOUSES AND
PUTTING THEM UP ON THE ISLAND
AND THEY’RE NOT GETTING ANY
MONEY BECAUSE THESE GUYS SAT ON
IT TO GIVE JOE BIDEN A VICTORY.
SORRY, YOUR FINAL WORD, KRISTIN.
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THIS.
>> I COULDN’T AGREE, ELIZABETH.
A LOT OF OF THEIR EMPLOYEES HAVE
BEEN WITHOUT PAYCHECKS THE
BETTER PART OF THIS YEAR.
IT IS SO SAD.
MANY BELOVED RESTAURANTS IN
BOSTON, BIG CITIES AROUND THE
COUNTRY, HAVE CLOSED FOR GOOD.
IT WAS ALL FOR POLITICS.
IT IS REALLY A SHAME.
ELIZABETH: FORGIVE ME FOR
GETTING EMOTIONAL BUT I JUST, IT
