RUSH: Last night — now, this is earth-shattering in its own way — the governor of New Jersey was on Fox with Tucker Carlson.<\/a><\/p>\n

I want you to grab sound bite number 11. His name is Phil Murphy. By the way, there are uprisings all over this country against governors and their restrictions. It\u2019s happening. People aren\u2019t gonna put up with this. People instinctively know we\u2019ve gotta get back to work. We have to reopen the economy. People instinctively know now that however bad this is, it isn\u2019t as bad as they all told us.<\/p>\n

\"\"Not one model has been even close to correct, and everything the medical and health experts have implemented or advised to be implemented has been based on these erroneous models. The American people are starting to get very suspicious and very frustrated, because none of the data matches what we\u2019ve done here. None of the data matches the behavior.<\/p>\n

There is nothing. The American people see 22 million people sidelined, 22 million people furloughed, left off. How many of those jobs are even coming back? How many of those businesses are going to reopen? This is a very, very serious thing — self-inflicted — and the American people are beginning to say, “Why did we do this? We\u2019re not dealing with millions of deaths.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not dealing with the absolute worst-case scenario.” Remember, now, the doomsayers always win. The doomsayers get to predict the absolute worst, and then when it comes in far better, they say, “See? It\u2019s our prediction that made it better. We made people change their behavior.” They never lose. But people are getting wise to it now.<\/p>\n

I want you to listen. See if something stands out in this exchange, Mr. Snerdley. Mr. Snerdley, did you happen see Mr. Murphy, Governor Murphy on TV? (interruption) Oh, you saw it. You were watching cable news last night. That\u2019s a strange thing. You\u2019re normally not watching. You\u2019re generally out mowing the lawn. All right. Well, let\u2019s see how many of the rest of you pick up on this.<\/p>\n

This is Tucker Carlson talking to New Jersey governor Phil Murphy. Question: “The Bill of Rights, as you well know…” (chuckles) I don\u2019t… I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Governor Murphy had to stop and think about, “What are the Bill of Rights?” He knows kind of what they are but where are they, you know, and how many of them are there, and what it actually is? He may not know.<\/p>\n

Wait \u2019til you hear the answer here. Question: “The Bill of Rights, as you well know, protects Americans, enshrines their right to their religion as they see fit, to congregate together, to assemble peacefully. By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights in issuing this order? How do you have the power, as the governor of New Jersey — of any state — to simply, with a wave of your hand, nullify people\u2019s constitutional rights as enumerate in the Bill of Rights?”<\/p>\n

MURPHY: That\u2019s above my pay grade, Tucker. I wasn\u2019t thinkin\u2019 of the Bill of Rights when we did this. We went to all —<\/p>\n

CARLSON: I can tell.<\/p>\n

MURPHY: First of all, we went to the data and science (chuckles) that says people have to stay away from each other. That\u2019s the best thing we can do to break the back of the curve of this virus that leads to lower hospitalizations and ultimately fatalities.<\/p>\n
