This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Brian, all right,
Brian, all right
New York, democratic leaders
giving themselves high praise
while shaming other states for
their handling of the
coronavirus pandemic.
You play politics with this
virus and you lost.
We have had a lot of success,
making New York City healthier.
We got to really stick to that
plan,
its going to be the states
that denied covid that are now
going to be paying the highest
price.
Brian really
now, Governor Andrew Cuomo is
asking doctors to come out of
retirement and nurses to help
with the soaring Covid 19
hospitalizations across the
state,
as he warns, another lockdown is
possible.
What about those high fives
here to react is Fox NEWS,
medical contributedder and
author of Covid, the politics of
fear and the power of science.
Dr Marc Siegel,
Dr Siegel thats, something
you write a book on how you beat
the pandemic and the pandemic
came back from a doctors
perspective. You could be saying,
I told you so right,
no
exactly Brian!
The governor, of course, is
posturing here.
I think he is get ready for
another book himself
and he is saying the Grinch
well, the Grinch is him right.
In other words, he is trying to
take away the Christmas Spirit
and if you think, people in the
area of New York dont know
already not to go to small
gatherings and wear a mask. What
is all of this government super
imposition about,
and where was he in March, with
all of this
flex, in surge, increased
hospital capacity by fifty percent?
Guess what Brian? We are
already doing, that the hospitals
in New York already have plans
in place.
We dont need the posturing here
from the governor
Brian, so Dr Siegel, its
coming back when you shut a city
down and destroy it
its coming back when you let
people make their own decisions
like in Florida
and its coming back in Europe,
where they were so strict and
they had this great summer. It
came roaring back in the fall.
What are we learning about this
im cerpgd about again the
lessons we are not learning.
You already said them
when you lock down a city. Do
you know what happens?
People cant go out:
do you know what they do?
They spread it internally,
not to mention the economic
devastation
right now in Buffalo New York,
where I went to medical school,
they have already canceled all
elective surgeries in advance of
the surge,
but you know what that means.
That means people with cancer
people with heart disease that
are not getting the procedures
they need,
and then the governor is talking
about bringing back Brian
retired people to work on the
wards.
Excuse me, I, like the sentiment
of that, but guess hot high risk
groupings are in the older
retired people, so they are going to get Covid,
so they are going to get covid
and end up in the hospitals
themselves.
Government policy needs to be
thought out and not some super
imposed oversight that makes
people noncompliant
governor message in a way where
people believe what you are
saying
Brian over the weekend, the vice
president, who might be the next
president, Joe Biden we find out a day later he was playing with
a day later he was playing with
his german Shepard and broke his
his foot
may be in a boot, for six
weeks
may be off by inauguration. Maybe
not
do you know what disturbs me all
this talk, how he is transparent
and President Trump wasnt
all this fawning over a foot
fracture
excuse me. I talked to President
Trump right after he had covid.
He said right to me on camera, I
had a haziness on my cat scan in
the lungs
I took the regeneron product.
I got better.
He couldnt have been more
transparent and crystal clear
about Covid,
so whats this. All this talk
about President Trump, not being
transparence on his health
issues.
He was unbelievably transparent
and all this fawning over a
foot,
I think im going to have a lot
of work coming up Brian every
time he gets a hang NAIL Biden
im going to be called in
right,
Brian, I guess so.
The president was right when he
said get the kids back in
school.
The risks are so minimal. They
need to go back to school.
Now, Dr Fauci goes. You know
what
im looking at the data the kids
should be in school.
China lied about how the virus
started and werent transparent
about what the results were and
how many fatalities they H. Who
said that
the president, every day from
January, until today,
unbelievable
Dr Siegel, its all in your
book?
Why would we believe, China
Brian? Why would we ever believe
China on Covid?
Why would we ever
they lied from the beginning?
They hid the initial case and it
was probably months before that.
How come we started listening to
them?
Never
Brian! We were listening CNN.
