Trump 2020 national press secretary Hogan Gidley says voter enthusiasm is with the president over rival Joe Biden on 'Fox & Friends.'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Ideology with no results or
worse results for way too long.
Ainsley lets bring in Hogan
Gidley the National press
secretary for the Trump campaign,
two thousand and twenty
good morning to you
good morning,
Ainsley with all of this
unrest. How is this going to
impact the twenty twenty election
we saw yesterday? There was a
poll and it said, was it sixty two percent
Steve
Sixty two percent said they were not
going to. They didnt feel
comfortable. Talking
Steve Kato Study,
Ainsley im wondering if this
is going to help or hurt the
president,
its hurting real Americans
across the country, thats for
sure
our hearts goat out to those
deeply impacted by the deaths
that have gone on in towns
devolved into lawlessness.
Sad part is you dont have to
guess what our city streets and
what kind of danger our families
would be in if Joe Biden were
president of the United States,
he has not said anything about.
You know getting a handle,
getting a grip
and trying to protect the people
in these cities,
its absolutely egregious
when he does pipe up out of his
Heidi hole. He areporters
shouldnt reredirect funds.
If anyone thinks redirect is
different than defund, then let
me ask you Ainsley: if its
okay, your next paycheck, can I
redirect money out of your bank
account and put it into mine,
thats defunding
thats cutting
Ainsley, no
thats right,
no is the answer.
We need that money,
the police, the brave men and
women who put their lives on the
line every single day who stand
up to these rioters and looters
and people who burn churches and
burn police buildings. Those are
the real heroes out there
and the president supports them,
and Joe Biden doesnt
thats a serious, serious
difference.
Brian Hogan, almost all polls,
the president, is trailing in the
battleground states
in the Fox poll, trailing
significantly in Pennsylvania
and slightly more than he was in
April and Michigan same thing,
trailing by nine
Minnesota a place. He really
thought he Vekd won. Last time a
few percentage points away. He is
trailing big.
One of the things people look to
for incumbent. President happened
with Bush. Forty one
use different things to close
the gap,
and that was the convention.
They have a big convention
speech and they sprint to the
fall and see what happens come
November.
The convention is not going to
happen now.
What went into that decision? And
what can you use to propel
yourself to close that gap?
The number one priority of
the president of the United
States, Donald Trump, is the
safety and security of the
american people.
You saw that yesterday with his
bold, decisive leadership from
that podium.
He talked to the scientists.
He talked to the health experts.
He talked to the medical
experts,
he talked to his political team
and he said no.
We are not having this
because we dont want to risk
any more infections to the state
of Florida.
Any more infections across this
country
and im proud to know him
im proud to have worked for him
and to be on the campaign right
now,
because this is the type of
leadership we need.
You touched on some polls.
Most of those are fake.
They oversample Democrats.
We have had more than
one point one billion views across our
social media platforms for
Donald Trump
hes, not even really on those
social media platforms. All that
much
Joe Biden, however, comes out
the other day for a qampa. He
promotes it.
He is on camera
and he has nineteen people watching it
at one time.
I think seventeen of those were a
network news anchors and
reporters just trying to figure
out how to donate
the other two were staffers.
The fact is the enthusiasm. The
excitement is all on our side,
and we know this.
Our supporters will stand
through rain, sleet, snow, hail
and crawl across broken glass to
vote for Donald Trump,
Joe Biden supporters wont even
click on a link to watch him. Do
a Qampa,
its absolutely embarrassing.
We have the momentum and know we
will do well in November
Brian. I know the people that do
the polls
they dont do it fake.
They may not be accurate in the
end I dont know
doesnt accuracy determine
people are great doesnt
accuracy determine how great it
they are. Professionals
dont call the Fox news. Polsters
fake.
The methodology is flawed at
the very least
Steve. That is what the
president has said before,
because he has complained that
they have a smaller sample of
Republicans. That is not
indicative of the number of
people who voted last time,
and so that is where that comes
from
all right.
Meanwhile, you were talking
about enthusiasm.
You are right.
Joe Biden has had very little
enthusiasm until this week when
somehow he slipped out of his
basement.
He went to Barack Obamas Office,
Inin, the West end of Washington
D, DOT c,
and they did a socially
distanced conversation
there. You can see there. They
are about a dozen feet apart
and one of the themes was they
are trolling. The president on
his pandemic response
Heres a sample.
This guy is in court in the
middle of a pandemic, trying to
take away the protection for
one hundred million people that have
pre existing conditions.
I dont think he has any sense
of empathy or any. I dont
think he can associate at all.
I couldnt be prouder of what
we got done.
Twenty million people had health
insurance that have it because
of what we did.
The thing I have got confidence
in Joe is your heart and your
character, and the fact that you
are going to be able to
reassemble the kind of
government that cares about
people and brings people
together
Steve. I got a feeling with that
music. The end was near.
Obviously they are trying to
have Joe Biden Ride on Barack
Obamas coat tails,
but they are talking about the
pandemic,
and when you look Joe Biden,
walls asked the other day by
somebody over on MSNBC what he
would do differently regarding
the pandemic. If he were
president,
he listed a bunch of things that
sounded great
and, as it turns out,
the President and the
administration have already done
all of them.
So if it does come down to
Coronavirus- and that is the
number one issue, what does Joe
think that he could do that? This
administration and this federal
government have not
well lets put together the
overscripted massively edited
back and forth that the vice
president had with the former
president for just a moment. If
we can,
what Joe Biden did leave out of
that long list of things? He
would do that, of course, this
president, this administration
has already done what he left
out was the criticism of that
he levy idea on Donald Trump,
calling him xenophobia and
racist.
All the left did that the media
did that the as well when Donald
Trump made the bold, decisive
actions necessary to protect
two point: two million deaths from ever
occurring in this country, which
is what the experts said would
happen.
Those flights got shut down.
Joe Biden was wrong
and in the end had to come out
and say: yeah, you know im
sorry, Donald Trump was right
again.
Another thing he left out was: he
has already been faced with a
pandemic when he was vice
president.
We know what his administration
was doing.
You dont have to guess how he
would respond.
He just decided mid pandemic
H1N1 swine flu to shut down
testing
and said we dont want to
quote unquote waste the
resources on testing.
He decided to stop it, stop
counting.
He said we know we are infected,
we have sixty million or so that
has the virus
it doesnt matter. We are going
to stop testing.
Can you math outcry from the
mainstream media? If Donald Trump
said im going to copy Joe
Biden
im going to stop testing,
they would lose their minds.
The fact is, this president has
taken something unforeseen
unprecedented straight out of
China and has led us through
this in a way that I think the
american people can rally around,
because his message is unifying
its uplifting, its patriotic,
and we will get through this
together because of Donald.
