This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
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.
