All right,
thank you. So much Jillian
night, two of the Democratic
national connection highlighting
the partys rising stars in a
17 american key noted address.
While working families are
struggling, he is looking out
for the people who are already
doing just fine, the wealthy,
the big corporations,
the donors who his campaign
he is looking out for
himself.
If there is one person who is
looking out for us
all of us
thats Joe Biden,
our next guest is a retired.
U Dot S Army infantry, captain
running for Congress in
Pennsylvania, his opponent
Congressman Conor Lamb.
He was amongst those featured
last night as the next
generation of democratic party
leaders that you saw in that
montage. He joins us now
good morning, Sean
Good Morning, Ainsley thanks
for having me
Ainsley, you are welcome,
combat veteran
you for our country.
You saw last night Conor Lamb
running for the same seat in
District seventeen in Pennsylvania.
What was your response to what
he said last night?
Well, I got to tell you
nothing says: rising star,
independent, moderate voice for
Western Pennsylvania, quite like
reading prescripted, soundbites
and opening up for Stacey Abrams,
whose primary claim to fame is
losing an election in grand
fashion and refusing to accept
the result and conors Lamb,
saying the president not helping
the working class
eight years under Barack Obama and
Joe Biden, the state lost one hundred and fifty one thousand
jobs, the lion share of which, in
the manufacturing sector,
under just three years of
President Trump, we brought those
jobs back plus. Fourteen thousand three hundred
the proof is in the numbers:
Conor Lamb is not right for
western Perry
and he is in lock step with the
most radical members of his
party
Ainsley interesting, because
Conor Lamb last night talked
about the economy and disagrees
with what you just said.
Listen to
this, when our economy was on the
brink, Joe led the recovery
effort that created millions of
jobs,
including here in western
Pennsylvania,
under his leadership America
bounced back with the longest
economic expansion in history,
Ainsley whats. Your response to
that.
I will tell you talk to
business leaders all across
western Pennsylvania
Democrats and Republicans.
They say under three years of
president Trump. The economic
growth that they have
experienced has been
unprecedented
and theyre, just starting to
emerge from just being saddled
with eight years of regulatory
nonsense from the Barack Obama
and Joe Biden presidency.
They are just starting to be
prosperous. Again.
All of that is a tribute to
President Trump
bottom line. Is
this president trump? He is
charting a path forward for this
country
and businesses all across
western Pennsylvania. They know
that they know and they
recognize it.
This isnt politics as usual for
them
Ainsley, so Sean we recently
got the list of those folks,
speaking at the Rnc NIC,
Sandmann Patricia and Mark
Mccloskey. The couple defending
their house with the fire
departments,
Nikki Haley, Mump and MIKE Pence,
and obviously Mr Trump and on
the list, is your name.
Ainsley listen. Ten years ago
I left the military broke and
broken didnt know what I was
going to do with my life,
and now I am speaking at the
Republican National Convention.
Dont believe anyone when they
dont when they tell that you
this nation is not exceptional.
This is the most amazing
country on the face of the
planet.
What were going to talk about
next week is the great american
story,
and we are going to send a
message to all Americans that it
is okay to love this country,
its okay, to be patriotic
and its okay. To believe that
America is the greatest nation
on the face of the planet, and
you are going to see that theme
played out in every single
speaker next week.
Ainsley Sean real quickly.
Tell us your story.
I was at the hunt of the Bin
Laden
find the guy in two thousand and six.
We didnt find him, but we found
a lot of the bad guys
took a eighty five percent casualty rate.
Some of my men were wounded
twice.
Six of my men were shot in the
head.
We all survived.
I was wounded myself and
medically retired. Before my time
December, 19th, two thousand and ten.
I left the military and came
back to grad school and try to
make a name for myself and now
running. For conscious
America is the best country in
the world,
Ainsley, you are an author and a
dad.
We look forward to see you on
stage next week.
