Person to talk about all this with right now than Kayleigh Mcenany Trump, two thousand and twenty senior campaign advisor Kayleigh. Thank you for being here. We are certainly all in the home stretch of this election season just three days to go. So what do you think is the most important thing that President Trump could be doing right now? Obviously, hes holding a lot of rallies in the next few days. What is the most important aspect of his message that you think he should be getting out there front and center right now? What hes doing is offering a choice to the american people. We had a novel virus come in from China. The american people have a choice open the country safely with President Trump or close down the country, Joe Biden will close down your schools, your churches, your workplaces. You have a choice to bring back the hottest economy in modern history, which President Trump brought us historical lows in unemployment or go to Joe Biden, who brought us the slowest economic recovery since World WAR Ii, and he will raise your taxes. He said so and finally, on health care costs are coming
down, premium costs, drug prices are going down, you can choose that or you can choose an end to Medicare, as we know it with Medicare for all, which is socialized, medicine and sky high premiums, which is what we saw under Obamacare. That is the choice the american people have and they will choose President Trump on November, three PETE Kayleigh, where the President goes where candidates go, tell us a lot about where we are on the map and the fact that, frankly, former vice President Joe Biden was in Minnesota, shows that that state they normally take for granted is also in play. Weve got the president going today, four stops in Pennsylvania, I believe bucks County, Redding Butler, will be ending outside of Pittsburgh. Then hes in Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina and down in Florida and Georgia as well. What should the travels? Tell the voters and people watching this race anxiously where hes going? What does it tell us about the campaign? Hes running its a great question? Pete Joe Biden is often confused, but right now his campaign is more
confused than ever before. When you go in one breath to Georgia and Texas and then in the next breath, you go to Minnesota a state. No Republican has won since one thousand nine hundred and seventy two a state. President Trump almost won by one point: five percentage points when youre stopping by Minnesota. That should worry you that should tell the american people all they need to know. We are leading. I just checked out the numbers before I came on the early vote. We are eight points ahead in ballots, returned in Wisconsin, two points ahead in ballots returned in Michigan. They are on the run to find a state. They thought they had this. He hid in his basement from the american people. He wont fight for his votes, so he wont fight for you as president, so they are trying to find a path to victory and were confident. We are going to win in two short days will Kayleigh. I know the election is the front of everyones mind, but we have this massive story that broke that an american hostage was rescued in West Africa in a daring raid involving seal team. Six- and here is a statement from
the Pentagon: U Dot S forces conducted a hostage rescue operation during the early hours of the 31st of October in northern Nigeria to recover an american citizen held hostage. This american citizen is safe and is now in care of the? U DOT S department of state? No, u dot S. Military personnel were injured during the operation. We appreciate the support of our international partners. In conducting this operation, the United States will continue to protect our people and our interests anywhere in the World Kayleigh. What can you tell us about what went down in this operation? It was a successful operation to rescue an american hostage. We are so glad to see it under this president, we rescued fifty five hostages in twenty four countries and in the waiting days of a presidency before a massive re election, you typically dont get a lot done, but this president is the exception. He rescued an american hostage. He secured a Middle EAST peace deal, he put a justice on the Supreme Court. He visited our heros at Fort Bragg. That was such a special moment. When I saw the president
interact with the army special operations. It was beautiful. He spent an hour casually talking to them joking. They had a great time and he presented them an award thats the story of this presidency. We dont stop. We go to fourteen states, we rescue hostages, we secure Middle EAST peace, and we do it record time and three days before an election PETE Kayleigh its easy for us to read the news and say seal team six conduct successful raid in West Africa. What goes into something like this? The risk, the potential political fall doubts if it went the wrong direction. It takes courage to make the political call and to be on the ground as a Navy seal, but this is not the first time weve seen something like this from the president, whether its Soulemani in Baghdad, the killing of the iranian leader with so much american blood on his hand when, and why does the president make these calls, which are tough ones to make? They are very tough ones to make, because youre right, it has to be conducted just perfectly, but the president always puts the american interest first on it, and it takes a lot of
planning a lot of keeping things quiet until that moment. When you get the go ahead- and I was talking to some of our soldiers and they said to me- we pray to get the green light because I said you know its got to be scary. When you go into these raids and they say we wait for the green light and were so proud. We have a president that trusts us and gives us the green light to take out El Bagdadhi. These murders, who have killed far too many american men and women in battle. But this President Mays, the courageous and bold decision and his record stands- shows that Jedediah well Kayleigh thanks for joining us going to be a fun exciting next, three days we.
