>> Ben: NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR PHIL
MURPHY TAKING HEAT FOR HEADING
TO COSTA RICA FOR 8 DAY FAMILY
VACATION.
>> MAKING THE TRIP DESPITE THE
OMICRON OUTBREAK WE CONSIDER
VISITING THE CENTRAL AMERICAN
COUNTRY.
HERE TO REACT IS FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR SEAN DUFFY.
AT THIS POINT WHY ARE WE STILL
SURPRISED WHEN THESE DEMOCRAT
LEADERS AND BY AND LARGE MOSTLY
IF NOT ALL DEMOCRAT LEADERS GO
ALL RULES FOR THEE AND NOT FOR
ME?
SEAN: YOU KNOW WHAT?
ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS I GET HE
HAD A HARD RE-ELECTION RACE.
HE ALMOST LOST.
HE HAS DONE SUCH BAD JOB IN NEW
JERSEY.
BUT WHEN YOU YOU HAVE A CRISIS
BURNING YOU SHOULD STAY AT HOME
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE THE
GOVERNOR AND SURGING CASES OF
AMICRON AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS.
YOU WANTED TO BE GOVERNOR.
STAY HOME DID AND YOUR JOB.
THE CITIZENS OF YOUR STATE
EXPECT THAT BUT HERE IS WHAT
GETS ME WITH THE MEDIA, TODD.
I GO LOOK AT AND GO REMEMBER
WHEN TED CRUZ WENT OFF TO CANCUN
MEXICO AND THE MEDIA LOST THEIR
MIND OVER THAT?
BY THE WAY HE IS A U.S.S.
SENATOR AND HAS NOTHING DO WITH
THE STATE OF TEXAS.
HE HAS SENATOR FROM TEXAS BUT
NOT THE GOVERNOR.
UPSET ABOUT THAT.
MURPHY LEAVES AND HE GOES OUT OF
THE COUNTRY THEY DON’T MIND NO
BIG DEAL IS HE A DEMOCRAT AND
STILL MURPHY.
>> Ben: SEAN, I WANT TO GET YOUR
VIEWS ON SOMETHING ELSE DOWN IN
FLORIDA.
GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS TAKING AIM
AT TWO OTHER THREATS WOKENESS
AND CHINA.
MAKE CHANGES IN HOW THE STATE’S
FUNDS WILL BE INVESTED KEEP THEM
OUT OF WOKE.
HE WANTS TO PREVENTED THEM FROM
INVESTING IN CHINA SAY GOING YOU
LOOK AT HOW THESE MAJOR
COMPANIES BEHAVED WHEN FACED
WITH CHINESE DISAPPROVAL, THEY
CENSOR WHAT THE CDC TELLS THEM
TO CENSOR GLOBALLING POLICIES.
GO BACK AMERICAN ELITES IF WE
ALLOW CHINA INTO THE WHO THAT
WILL MAKE CHINA MORE LIKE US.
ITS EXPERIENCE HAS FAILED.
GOVERNOR DESANTIS SAYS DOWN IN
FLORIDA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> CHINA IS NOT BECOMING MORE
LIKE US.
IT LOOKS LIKE AMERICA IS
BECOMING MORE LIKE CHINA CREDIT
SCORE SYSTEM OF HAVING TO SHOW
PASSPORTS VACCINE FOR ACCESS
PUBLIC RIGHT.
WITH THAT SAID, RON DESANTIS IS
LOOKING MORE AND MORE
PRESIDENTIAL WITH ALL HE DOES.
AND THAT’S WHY THEY SAY
GOVERNORS ARE GREATS TRAINING
GROUND FOR PRESIDENT.
HE IS PUSHING BACK TO SAY WE ARE
NOT GOING TO USE FLORIDA DOLLARS
TO INVEST IN CHINA.
I MEAN, THIS IS A HORRIBLE
REGIME.
HAS NO RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.
AND SO I THINK THIS IS A SMART
PLAY ON HIS PART.
TO YOUR OTHER POINT, BENJAMIN,
IT’S WONDERFUL THAT A GOVERNOR
IS GOING TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF YOU WANT TO BE AWOKE
CORPORATION THAT DOESN’T ALSO
RESPECT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, YOU
KNOW WHAT?
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO BUSINESS
IN OUR STATE.
AGAIN, IS HE USING THE POWER OF
THE GOVERNORSHIP TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE GO FREEDOM LIBERTY
AND AMERICAN WAY.
IF YOU DON’T, YOU ARE NOT GOING
TO DO BUSINESS WITH US.
THAT’S WHY HE HAS BEEN SUCH
POPULAR GOVERNOR.
AGAIN, IS HE PUTTING FLORIDA
FIRST OVER CHINA AND OTHER
STATES THAT DON’T BUY INTO THE
FREEDOM THAT FLORIDA BELIEVES.
IN.
TODD: GOT ABOUT 45 SECONDS
BEFORE WE HAVE TO HAND IT OFF TO
OUR FRIENDS ON "FOX & FRIENDS."
IF MORE STATES FOLLOW FLORIDA’S
LEAD, HOW BIG, SEAN, COULD THE
IMPACT BE?
AGAIN, 45 TO YOU.
>> LISTEN, IT’S SIGNIFICANT
BECAUSE THESE -- ESPECIALLY WALL
STREET BANKS, THEY LOVE TO DO
BUSINESSES IN THE STATE, IT’S
BIG REVENUE FOR THEIR BOTTOM
LINE.
IF THEY START TO LOSE PLACES
LIKE FLORIDA AND TEXAS AND
GEORGIA, YOU KNOW, OTHER PLACES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THEY WILL
REALLY START TO PAY ATTENTION.
AGAIN, MORE STATES HAVE TO STAND
UP LIKE RON DESANTIS.
IF THEY DO YOU WILL SEE
CORPORATIONS CHANGE THEIR WAY,
IN THE PAST, TODD, THEY HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THEIR
WOKENESS, PLAY TO THE LEFT BUT
STILL DO BUSINESS WITH THE
RIGHT.
THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE
ANYMORE.
TODD: IT’S GOING TO TAKE ALL OF
US ROWING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
>> Ben: THANKS FOR JOINING US
TODAY.
TODD: TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
IT REALLY IS AND FINGERS CROSSED
WE DO IT AS A COUNTRY.
SEAN DUFFY, WE APPRECIATE YOUR
TIME THIS MORNING, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
>> YOU GUYS LOOK GREAT TOGETHER
