Trump 2020 campaign adviser Lara Trump calls business closures ‘outrageous,’ slams politicians for not following their own shutdown orders on ‘Fox & Friends.’
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Just goes into overdraft, and we
say: okay, let the next guy pay
for it
Lara Trump, the senior advisor
to the Trump two thousand and twenty campaign
Lara the person responsible for
getting those instant checks
that could hit as early as next
week, but its got to be
frustrating for him.
Hes been telling these people
to open up really since May and
a lot of these businesses a lot
of the pain theyre. Putting
people through could have been
solved had they done that the
yeah
well youre exactly right.
I think people, people are
frustrated, look in America.
I think the reality is we want
this country open and,
unfortunately, because we have
some tyrannical. You know
oppressive governors and mayors
across America who refuse to let
people go back to work theyre,
deeming that it is nonessential
for you to provide food for your
family. For you to put food on
the kitchen table for you to go
to work,
they get to determine what is
social and nonessential.
I think everyone or in America
is an essential worker.
We with all want to work. We all
want to earn a living, and now
here we are
at least people are getting
something
theyve needed something for a
long time. They need to go back
to work, but if these people are
not allowing them to do that
now, theyre getting six hundred dollars.
You guys have just gone through
a lit gnu of what is in this
bill litany, and it is
outrageous
one dollar and thirty nine cents million to Asia Initiative
acts
the ten dollars million to gender
studies in Pakistan, seven hundred dollars
million to the Sudan.
How does that help Americans in?
How does that help us get out of
this?
I think its very frustrating to
people all around this country.
I think theyre really glad to
got the six hundred dollars, but they probably
could have gotten a lot more if
we werent giving so much money
away.
President Donald Trump, by the
way, whos been the one saying
put America first with the
vaccine by the way which
happened in record time.
Dont forget they all said it
wouldnt be possible before
summer of 21
it has rolled out across
America.
He has said, put America first
with the vaccine with
everything. Yet here you said
what Congress did theyre,
giving all this money away:
Katie yeah Lara! Also this
just comes down to being the
worst in politics Congress,
using a crisis to advance their
own pet projects and agendas,
also talk about Nancy Pelosi and
how she could have been here
months ago and made a decision
to hurt american families to
keep businesses closed, to keep
them starving of cash all to get
to President Trump before the
election,
and now after the elections
over shes willing to come to
the table and finally push
through a deal thats, actually
half of what was offered by the
president of one dollar and eighty cents trillion
months ago,
yeah thats right
in October.
This deal was offered to her
the one you just mentioned.
One point, eight trillion and she said no
way she didnt want to have
anything to do with it
very clearly playing politics.
She does not care about the
american people.
She does not care about making
sure that people can withstand
this horrific crisis. This
situation that a lot of
governors and mayors have put us
in at this point not allowing
people to go back to work
its outrageous to see, but this
is the epitome of the swamp of
Washington D, DOT C.
This is the reason. Donald Trump
was elected in two thousand and sixteen to get rid
of people like Nancy Pelosi.
When you are a career politician
and youre on video saying rules
for thee, but not for me, you
know and telling people that
they could not go to the hair
salon. Yet there she is no mask
walking through
weve all seen that video
multiple time
and then she pulls a stunt like
this. I think the american
people find it absolutely
outrageous.
I think its crazy, quite
frankly, that she still has her
job.
Maybe one of the only things I
agree with AOC on weve got to
get rid e of Nancy Pelosi and
Chuck Schumer
PETE yeah theres, no measure
of accountability for her unless
her voters actually do but
thats San Francisco,
its the congressional
industrial complex at work, which
has very little almost nothing
to do with America. First, as you
point out Lara,
I want to go to the election for
a moment. If we could,
there are reports. The president
met with members of Congress in
the oval office yesterday to
talk about potential objections
on January 6th, which is when
Congress meets
Heres. What the chief of staff
tweeted out.
He said. Several members of
Congress just finished a meeting
in the oval office with
President Trump preparing to
fight back against, mounting
evidence of voter fraud stay
tuned.
The president also chimed in he.
He called in to the conference
down here at turning point USA,
Heres a portion of what the
president said yesterday,
hi Charlie, how are you
cheers and applause
that sounds like a big crowd of
beautiful people,
cheers and applause?
We are fighting really for the
country, because this election,
we won this election in a land,
slide,
cheers and applause
its all documented.
The problem is, we need a party
thats going to fight and we
have some great congressmen and
women that are doing it and we
have others great fight ors.
We won this in a landslide, they
know it and we need backing
from. Like the Justice
Department and other people to
finally step up
PETE Lara, a lot of people feel
that way the election was
stolen,
theyve tried to through after
Dawfts and evidence,
affidavits and evidence get
courts to pay attention to it.
It hasnt happened.
Where are we now
to supporters of the president,
those seventy four? Seventy five million who feel
like theyre on the wrong side
of this with not a lot of
recourse left
was left.
Yeah
look were still pushing
forward from the campaign
perspective.
We believe Donald Trump won this
election and we still have
legal challenges out in several
states.
We want the constitution upheld
and what it says very clearly e
in the constitution is that it
is up to the state legislatures
to determine the time place and
manner in which elections are
conducted
and in several states,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia
and Michigan. That did not
happen.
There were is secretaries of
state and election boards that
diseased to change decided to
change the way people vote in
those statements and they used
covid as an excuse to do that,
and that is against the
constitution
were pushing forward with some
of these lawsuits
the date of ultimate
significance. I think, as you
just pointed out, PETE is
January. Sixth, when Congress needs
to certify this election,
listen, I think that there are
going to be people who say we do
not agree with Joe Biden as the
46th president of the United
States.
We believe that Donald Trump won
this election, and that is their
right.
The founders set up this process
for this very reason so that we
can get an accurate result and
well have to wait and see what
happens.
I want to make very clear to
people at home. This fight is not
over. Do not think for a second
that Donald Trump has given up.
Do not think for a second that
the campaign is gone,
were fighting every single day
to make sure every legal and
legitimate vote gets counted.
Brian im sure the President
Knows- and you know two good
friends of the president, who
worked hard in the cause of
governor governor Christie-
think the governor lost
Inin fact. He said by continuing
to fire hes hurting the
country
whats your reaction.
What do you think your
father in laws reaction is?
Well, I think my reaction and
the reaction of seventy four seventy five million
Americans is that weve got to
get this one right.
We cant say lets move on
whenever people very clearly
know and have seen there was
fraud in this election.
If we with allow fraud in this
election, then we lose our
constitutional republic
with lose the United States of
America. We lose the United
States of America.
We have to get this right, not
just for Donald Trump and not
just for the five seventy five million
people that voted for him.
People need to know. This can
have faith in this process
with all due respect to Governor
Christie. I highly discuss agree
with that.
I think were going to do
everything possible to make sure.
