Steve Ainsley Brian
Ainsley, thank you so much
Griff
Jared, Kushner senior adviser
and son in law.
Good to have you here,
Joe Biden last night, said: Donald
Trump is going to be hard fight.
What is on top of the
presidents agenda? Is it the
economy or law and order?
I think its a bunch of
things.
President Trump is basically
saying that the economy is
really starting to rebound very,
very strong.
We will have the GDP number out
shortly, which would be great
number.
We are seeing the job claims go
down and jobs coming down.
I do think President Trump built
the greatest economy and he can
do it again.
We are making great progress
with therapeutics and hopefully
that will allow us to get back
and still countries are still
dealing with this and further
allow us to further strengthen
the position in the world.
Brian, you mentioned therapies,
vaccines.
One thing that Mark Meadows says
we will not control the pandemic,
but control the fact that we
will give vaccines
therapeutics. What did he mean
by that?
How does that fit into policy
right? You have a global
pandemic,
its impacting every place.
People have tried different ways
to cope with it.
You have that throughout Europe
you have through the U dot S and
places where they have been
locked down and places where
its been open and its spread.
And ultimately we have to have
balanced approach, and the
federal government is to make
sure that we get supplies to
people that need it.
You heard hysteria stories about
not having enough ventilators or
times and time and time again
that never fulfilled itself.
The federal government did its
job joint Chiefs of staff and
military admirals to do that, and
also with vaccines fastest
vaccine was thirteen months.
We did one in four months and four
months and one week we have a
lot of vaccines that are close
to getting to the end of the
trials and hopefully proven
safety that we hope will bring
an end to the pandemic.
Look, I think, when you saw the
debate the other side, its
going to be a dark winter.
We definitely have some
challenges, but President Trump
Approach is: we will defeat the
virus and we will get our
country back to stronger place
than ever before.
As you know, the virus
is still very much alive in the
West Wing
in the Vice presidents office
at least five people close to the
vice president, including chief of staff, MARC Short and campaign
of staff, MARC Short and campaign
adviser, martdy have tested
positive
hes, been cleared by doctors and
same protocol for essential
workers and at the same time you
have Democrats saying hey
thats, just not safe.
You have people who can
criticize in every regard, and I
spoke to MARC Short and hes
feeling fine.
You have a lot of young healthy
people in the wing, knowing they
are taking risks working for the
american people and because theres a pandemic doesnt mean
theres a pandemic. Doesnt mean
that we cant stop.
People do get it, and obviously,
once that happens, you have to
make sure that you know you
get the right care and youre
taking care of yourself, but for
the people in the West Wing who
has gotten it so far, its
benign cases and people are
moving forward and the vice
president obviously has gained
knowledge about. I believe hes
following protocols
Ainsley your father, announced
peace, deal Israel and sedan on
Friday. What are the countries
and what can we expect in the
future?
On Friday, we announced
historic peace agreement between
Israel and sedan, thats,
significant
third peace agreement that we
have been able to announce in
the last couple of months.
I will say people being in
Washington thirty forty years, never
able to work out a single
foreign transaction and we
achieved three peace deals.
Peace deals are much harder than
President Trump is making them
look before.
Sedan was in a state of war with
Israel and the significance of
this agreement. I cant
overstate enough
in nineteen sixty seven after the 6 day war, they
had famous no peace, no
recognition, no negotiations.
Obviously, on Friday we announced
the three yes, third, peace deal
its a breakthrough for the
region, and I do think you will
continue to see progress.
I will say again: people have
been critical of the president
over the last three years, for
whatever he does, he had two
scoops of ice cream. He took a
different approach in the Middle
EAST and he put up results
again. You cant argue with the
results hes achieved.
The historic peace deal is
something that will make the
world safer and America safer
and allows us to bring troops
home and have less threats for
radical islamic terror and other
and other threats to our
shores.
Brian yeah, its going to take
to give full credit and the
administration, and for you
specifically for that, because
its phenomena, what is going on
out
peace, is going on and no one is
paying attention.
Ice cube come out and he got
blowback with you. I have
platinum plan.
You said id like to hear about
it. Lets meet
you met according to reports for
about three hours and you kind of
endorsed it, and the president
talked in September.
Here is what ice cube said to
Chris Wallace, and I want you to
get you to comment.
They listened heard what I
had to say and pumped up their
plan and presented to the people
on September. I believe, 24th.
I told everybody that you know
im not playing politics with
this
im willing to meet with anybody
who could bring this to to
life and make it a reality,
Brian, so Jared. You realized
this isnt a celebrity coming
forward and theres substance to
it. Why did you go forward with
it? Why did the president go
forward? It
theres been discussion about
the issues that were needed in
the black community for the last
years, but particularly
intensified after the George
Floyd situation, and you know
you saw a lot of people who were
virtual signaling. They would go
on Instagram and cry or slogan
on their jersey and, quite
frankly, that was doing more to
polarize than doing something
forward.
You saw problems with solutions.
One thing I respected with ice
cube. What are policies that are needed to solve the problem that
needed to solve the problem that
everyone supporting
we got together? We were able to
take through president trumps
accomplishments, criminal
justice reform, and we took him
through a lot of the different
plans to what President Trump could do in the next four years and
could do in the next four years and
im a big believer in iron on
iron. There were a lot of things
we did agree on.
I think he helped make our plan
better and we appreciated it
again. One thing that we have
seen in a lot of the black
community, which is mostly
Democrat, is that president
trumps policies are the
policies that can help people
break out of the problems that
theyre complaining about, but he
cant want them to be successful
more than that, they want to be
successful and what youre
seeing ground swell support in
the community, because they are
realizing all the different bad
things. Media said about.
President Trump is not true,
hes actually delivered, and a
lot of people want to get on
board to start working with
President Trump because they
know, unlike most politicians, who
have been in Washington for
decades and talk and say the
right things. President Trump
may not always say the right
things, but he does the right
things.
He says whats on his mind and
he gets results, and so people
want results. They are tired of
politicians who are promising
things and not delivering
well, he does say whats on
his mind,
hes really good. At that
Jared im sure you saw the sixty
minutes interview,
one of the things that Odonnell
asked youre ahead in the polls,
and so was Hillary Clinton back
in two thousand, and sixteen could Donald Trump
still win and Joe Biden said
absolutely:
yes, he could.
The people we talked to at the
White House also seem confident
that things are are going
your way.
Nobody knows the data and the
polling better than you.
What are you seeing? That makes
you competent? We see the
rallies and we see the
enthusiasm, but you see the
numbers.
Look again. I speak to all
state directors.
We have big data modeling. I do
believe that polling with phones
is an area of method, especially
in canceled culture.
You have been salesmen that have
been in the business for a long
time and they were completely
wrong. The last time- and they
didnt make any modifications
going forward and what state
directors are telling us they
are more confident where they
are now than last time.
We are seeing enthusiasm for
President Trump
people like that hes, the first
outsider president and standing
up against Washington and
fighting for them and keeping
promises.
We are seeing that at the
presidents rallies right now,
twenty to thirty percent of the people showing
up didnt vote in twenty sixteen and the
grassroots operation that we
have is incredible.
If you think about what we have
over two and a half million
volunteers, two thousand staff, we are
doing a ton of digital
advertising with the right
message.
Possibly one of the biggest
campaigns ever built in history
and design. Today help turn out
the vote.
You cant have two and a half
million volunteers, people who
are working very hard if you
dont have the candidate that
they believe in and quite
frankly, no energy that we are
seeing on the other side, no
organization that we are seeing
on the other side, and I do think
that people on the state feel
that we are tracking in critical
swing states.
We remain cautiously optimistic
and you dont do very well.
Betting against Trump, and people
have learned that over the last
years,
Ainsley in New York City people
were throwing rocks and eggs, and
someone said they were pepper
sprayed when they were in there
car. In this rally for President
Trump,
it was identified as Jews for
Jesus and Steve Jews for
Trump
Ainsley im. Sorry, Jews for
Trump and Rudy Giuliani was in
another caravan going in front
of Trump Tower and they were
yelling, really nasty horrible
things and he was trying to get
police officers to come over and
help.
But if the shoe were on the
other foot, if these were
trumpers that were throwing
rocks at Jews for Biden, this
would be all over the press.
Yeah look my favorite
answer. The president gave last
night on sixty minutes was when she
asked President Trump to define
his supporters, and he said that
there are people who love this
country, and the reality is that
Trump supporters are people that
have a lot of spirit. A lot of
love.
The media tries to degrade him.
His opponents call them all
kinds of names, but the truth is
that these are people who work
hard, who want to do good things
and they have a lot of spirit
but theyre not out there,
causing the violence and being
disrespectful in ways. They are
not canceling opponents and they
are not creating violence in the
way that others do, and I think
its absolutely disgusting, and I
really hope that Joe Bidens
campaign will condemn
antisemitic actions that were
taken Againstst Trump supporters
and be respectful
any time that something happens.
I think the media should
denounce and respectful thing to
do.
Brian they have to find them.
First
puts the lid very early
Jared Kushner. Thank you. So.
