Steve and then she would introduce Donald Trump. Let us introduce Tout House minority leader, congressman from California, Kevin Mccarthy, congressman good morning to you good Morning, Steve and then Donald Trump came out and he had a confession. Last night he said he broke the cardinal rule of D, dot c politics. He kept his word. You know he kept his word. He likes to say even more than he even gave is promises. You watch that as we had this campaign in sixty seven more days for what they prom political scienced to do for the next four years, its very important to see what you have done in the past. This president, what he has been able to do, walk through rebuild our military, build the strongest economy, criminal justice reform, kept build the wall, and then you look at Joe Biden. Joe Biden has a forty seven year, history of being in Washington. Do you know when Joe Biden first went to the Senate, he served with people who was born in the 1800s. Now I dont know how you are
going to become the leader of the free world. If you will not leave Delaware, he wouldnt even leave during the convention. You cannot listen to people. You cannot lead the free world by thinking. Can you put a few movie stars on the stage thats the difference? What I saw in these conventions that we had the real heroes of America, the average Americans that struggle every single day and what they would say, regardless of republican or Democrat, that they found in Donald Trump that he listened to the forgotten person that voice that others would not thats what he promised and thats what he kept for the last four years, Ainsley yeah, like the Alice Marie Johns of the world, she was supposed to spend the rest of her life behind prison and Dnc even have a record other than this one mistake that she made and he got her out of prison, and she said she was on stage last night talking about how he changed her life clearly, and she was so excited to see her family and hug. Her grandkids Jack Brewer said two nights ago. He was always a Democrat. Is he a Democrat, but is he voting for Donald Trump? There were others that said the
same thing. Listen to this liberalism has changed and I dont fit there anymore. Im a Democrat. My parents are Democrats. I was a huge Obama supporter in the twenty sixteen primary I voted for Bernie Sanders. I mean I was a socialist. It feels like Democrats, sort of get people hooked on this drug of free money where they basically say you know, if you want your fix, you have to keep voting for us. His entire campaign worked for all Americans. That was a turning point for me. I want people to hear my story and know that you can actually go from being a democratic socialist to a Trump supporter. I hope that Trump wins and that we can continue with the progress that he has made and the policies that he has put into place. Ainsley was a socialist enough to. She is voting for President Trump. Why do you think this is happening because the president personally touched them the thing with the president? Is he puts America first, he doesnt put and to be able to move those. Many people,
if you spent a few days watching this convention, I know you had every emotion from a cheering to a crying to the empathy to the empowerment of this country. Thats. Just such a great contrast to the Democrats, I felt emptiness when I left there. I knew they hated the president. I knew they want to raise taxes. I know they want to defund the police, but tell me what are you going to do for the average American to make this place better? Brian people should understand whats at stake. If the Democrats win the White House and most likely going to win the Senate, that means they will blow up the filibuster. So whatever Joe Biden want and Bernie Sanders wanted, thats what the country is going to get, nothing will be there to stop them. If you cant find a way to win the house, then you look at places like Washington, D, dot c, and you realize thats going to become a state because thats what they will want. Meanwhile, if you understand some of the anger in Washington D, DOT C towards Republicans, evidently all you had to do was watch the exit ramps from last nights event.
Waiting for them was angry crowds, Rand Paul felt as though the cops werent there. He actually, he and his wife might not have sur viferred. If the cops werent there im looking at ARI Fleischers feed on Twitter, you could see people walking out from the event were being screamed at explicatives thrown their way just because they went to the White House to support the President describe Kevin Mccarthy, the level of anger in Washington towards the right. You dont have to watch the conventions to understand what this country would look like. Go to Portland go to Chicago go to New York. That is what this country will, because those are all run by Democrats. They are allowing this to go forward for individuals to be out there to harass another individual simply because they came to the White House. They are not harassing. They are almost to the point of violence. You dont have to wait for a speech in the White House. Can you just go to a restaurant in Washington D, DOT c
and you are going to get intimidated? You are going to get harassed. Brian. Have you never seen this before Kevin? Have you not seen this before? I have seen it many times. Brian? Have you seen it before President Trump took the White House? Have you seen this level of anger? No, and the sadness is what I watched the day after he was inaugurated. I remember driving from the hotel what the streets were filled with. It started from day one to never give him an opportunity which is so sad because the history of this country, regardless of who wins the White House there is usually a honeymoon. This poor man has never had that moment to govern. But in you, a of that all of th stopped fighting, think what he was able to achieve. The tax cuts, putting more people to work, bringing jobs back from overseas, raising everybody up, regardless of color of skin or gender. Think about how much more we could do. If this president had a Congress and a Senate that would work for them thats why we could actually retire Nancy Pelosi if people
would go to take the house dot com because its more than just the presidency, this is the nation and the next century. Is it going to be America? Are we going to guarantee that tomorrow will be better than today, because what I watched for the four days of the Democrats and four days of the Republicans its not hard to make a decision now and its not hard to go out and make the case it doesnt matter. If you are republican, independent or Democrat its a clear choice here, Joe Biden is not the same as he was before. Barack Obama has even said that there is no difference between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders is a registered socialist, so either we are going to go forward in prosperity or go backwards in poverty. We are either going to go forward in freedom or backward in socialism. Its a very clear choice, Steve. Well, you would like Nancy Pelosi to be retired, because then you would probably take over but thats a different story for another time. One of the things that has been made clear over the last four nights of the Rnc is were
talking about something that nobody talked about last week and that was the lawlessness, the chaos in Americas streets. It started with the killing of George Floyd and there were protests, but then, unfortunately, it turned into things like looting and vandalism and all sorts of arson and stuff, like that Joe Biden, who did not mention it last week, but has since he suggested yesterday that the president is actually rooting for more violence. He said Joe did. He is pouring gasoline on the fire. But finally, he said twice this week. I condemn the violence in any form, whether its looting or whatever it is. Why is he talking about it this week and not last week when they had the big staining therebig big stage, two things he didnt talk about on the stage what was going on in Portland? He would not talk about the unrest in America because he supported it.
You know thirteen people on his campaign actually gave money to bail people out who were looting and beating people up. So he must support that. He has actually said he would defund the police. He said I didnt use the word. No, he wants to reallocated the money. Thats defunding the police, its too late for Joe Biden to stand up to what has been going on day in and day out, and the part that I see is when we look at what happened in Wisconsin President Trump leaned in and was going to help the National Guard to be able to get there. The governor of Wisconsin said no and only brought two hundred and fifty troops when they were asking for seven hundred and fifty to one thousand five hundred Brian so weak. It only perpetuated the problem. Brian all right, congressman thanks so much its going to be an interesting sixty seven days, and it looks like something happened with this convention, because suddenly Joe Biden says I will start campaigning after Labor day. I believe if he was so secure in front, he would not be coming out of his basement
so game on thanks, Congressman Ainsley. Thank you. I look forward to the debate. Ainsley. If they happen, Nancy Pelosi is saying suggesting he doesnt debate.
