![]() This is bad for the environment, in New Jersey, not good for it. God willing, we can land in a good place and it's not like we don't have good bona fides, Margaret, we have the number one- since we got here six years running, the number one environmental track record of any state in America, we care deeply about it. We have in fact filed suit against the Federal Highway Administration. This is a financial fix, more than it is an environmental fix, and the loser here, right now, are New Jersey commuters and New Jersey communities, and I will not let that stand. Congestion pricing, the MTA in New York City has admitted it. Secondly, this will worsen pollution in New Jersey. We do so much together, on this one we don't see- see it the same way and at the end of the day, the buck stops with me for standing up for the residents of our state. MURPHY: First of all, I support Joe Biden unequivocally. ![]() If you are a green governor, how can you oppose this policy that was signed off on by the Biden administration? A lot of people in your state commute there.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about what's happening in your state, but you are also a Biden surrogate. And- and I think if we do that, in a spirit of respecting everyone's rights, protecting the LGBTQIA+ community, we'll land in a good place. Let's do things the right way, the American way. Let's protect the rights of these precious kids. It- it's certainly in our administration, they're always at the table, and they always will be. So, with all due respect to the governor, I'm not sure he's got much of a leg to stand on. This is a complete culture war, and by the way, Chris Christie was really bad for the LGBTQIA+ community, and he underfunded public education by 9 billion, with a B, dollars. Listen, we took these actions, because it's the right thing to do to protect these precious young people. PHIL MURPHY: Well let me say unequivocally, I will not be going to. ![]() Christie wrong when he says parents are the ones who knows- know best here and they should be involved? Governor, I want to pick up on some of the things we just discussed there, including when it comes to transgender care in your state because I know your administration has sued three New Jersey school districts for adopting policies to tell parents if their children are showing signs of changing their gender identity. ![]() MARGARET BRENNAN: We now turn to the current governor of the state of New Jersey, Democrat Phil Murphy, who joins us from Middletown. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, that aired on "Face the Nation" on July 23, 2023. The following is a transcript of an interview with New Jersey Gov.
