Trump 2020 campaign senior adviser Kayleigh McEnany previews Election Day on 'Fox & Friends.'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Which is Pennsylvania and
Detroits, which is Michigan
lets bring in Kayleigh
Mcenany Trump, two thousand and twenty campaign
adviser.
We tried to get ahold of you
earlier. We were having trouble
with transmission.
I know todays the closing
argument, but really what youre
trying to do is you know youve
got a great ground game,
youre, just trying to get all
the people who you think are on
the Trump team to show up by
tomorrow.
Yes-
and we have no doubt about that-
look Steve when we have these
rallies and you have literally
forty five thousand rsvps- that should tell
you something:
we have a ground game,
we turn out voters,
you have Democrats who have made
the biggest miscalculation in
modern american politics by not
knocking on doors.
They didnt start that until MID
September, hiding in the
basement,
President Trump will prevail on
election day voting and beyond
Ainsley all right.
So where will you all be on
election night, Tuesday night?
If he does win, are you all
going the to be together?
Celebrating
yes,
well, be there at the White
House in d dot c
this president has earned a
second term.
You have a choice: voters have a
choice: the dark winter that Joe
Biden has promised or morning in
America again,
youve seen the optimism of
President Trump on stage.
You see Joe Biden, who is
promising us a dark winter with
ahead.
I believe voters will endorse
the hottest economy, this modern
history that President Trump is
bringing back once more
Brian. So a lot of people making
this story a big deal that the
President kind of kicked to the
curb, and that is that hes
going to declare premature
victory, hes going to call a
press conference and hes going
to say I won,
has anything like that been
drawn up?
Has anything like that been
talked about?
No,
what that is is that is the Joe
Biden Crowd, knowing that they
are on the brink of defeat,
making things up and peddling it
in the process.
This presidents prepared to win
resoundingly.
We believe that were actually
going to pick up states.
The numbers are looking good
im here in Miami Dade County
right now, with we had historic
republican turnout at the poll.
The Trafalgar poll has predicted
five times, including last night,
that he will win Michigan again.
That is a fake news story
because they know the numbers
with that
its. Why Joe Biden finally
emerged from the basement and is
even going places like
Minnesota
Steve, you know Kayleigh in
normal years, it seems like by
the end of election night. We
know who the winner is the next
day,
but this year, given the fact
that there are so many early
ballots that have been cast by
mail and walking in and things
like that, a lot of states dont
even start counting them until
after the polls have closed
tomorrow night,
the Pennsylvania Secretary of
State yesterday said it could be
days before all the votes are
counted. I in Pennsylvania, Becaus
ten times as many mail in
ballots, have been submitted as
two thousand and sixteen.
So during that that purgatory
of waiting for the news on how
states turn out whats the
campaigns plan.
Well, look we. We believe
that Americans deserve to know
the victor of the election on
election night.
If you look back through
american history, there is one
election where we didnt know
the victor in the 24 hour period
afterwards, and that was Bush v
Gore in two thousand, and I dont think
that was a pretty good moment
for more than politics and the
country.
We dont belief that voters
should have to wait for days on
end.
We know thats, subject to fraud,
finding new ballots out. There
weve seen multiple cases of
fraud as weve moved forward
through the primaries, and we
believed that the votes should
be counted and tallied like it
always has, and America should
rise to the occasion and count
ballots on the day of the
election
Ainsley. I know the president
doesnt get Pennsylvania, he has
to get Michigan or Wisconsin can
and Nevada.
Yesterday, with Joe Biden said in
one of his speeches that the
president doesnt stand a chance
in Pennsylvania,
he also said this
listen.
The people of this nation is
have sufferedded and sacrificed
for nine months,
not more so than our doctors and
front line health care workers.
This president questioning their
character, their integrity,
their commitment to their fellow
Americans
its more than offensive its a
disgrace,
hes a disgrace to say it.
We have a president whos given
up
ill, never give up.
Well, never wave the flag of
surrender
were going to beat this virus
were going to get it under
control.
The truth is to beat the virus.
Weve first got to beat Donald
Trump
cheers and applause
hes, the virus,
Ainsley Kayleigh whats to
your reaction,
hes, calling this president the
virus.
Well, first, I dont know why
he always shouts through his
campaign speeches.
That is an appalling statement
and contrary to what Joe Biden
just said, this president rose
to the occasion
right now, when you look at e dot r
visits. Only two point: eight percent are
Covid related.
We reduced the mortality rate,
but eighty five percent created a vaccine in
record time by tend of the
year
therapeutics that work the
great testing system in the
world
thats what this president did
with a novel virus.
What did Joe Biden do with the
swine flu?
Joe Biden cut off testing dud,
not deliver a vaccine in time
and survived through the swine
flu because of mere fortuity
according to his chief of staff,
this president is offering
again morning in America, while
Joe Biden is offering a dark
winter where churches are
shuttered, workplaces are
shuttered and schools are closed
down,
thats, not what the american
people want, and we will see
that in a mere twenty four hours
brianed today, Germany shuts
down for at least a month.
We know France has shut down for
at least a month.
Everyone has went to the
countryside, and I think, hours
ago, Boris Johnson went from a
regional lockdown to a total
lockdown.
The president says he will not
do that.
Mayor, PETE Buttigieg, who looks
to if Joe Biden wins have
place in his cabinet,
said this yesterday.
If Joe Biden wins, should
another lockdown be on the
table?
Well, hopefully it doesnt
come to that, because we will see
swift action coordinating with
and supporting public health
authorities telling us what we
can to as citizens without
requiring mandates. But
everything has to be on the
table in order to keep Americans
safe.
Look, it should never have been
allowed to get this bad
ive been talking to a lot of
small business owners, especially
here in the Midwest, who are
saying look even when theyre
able to open customers arent
going to come unless they know
theyre safe.
This is one of many reasons why
the first rule of virus
economics is to beat the virus,
or else you wont have an
economy
and thats got to be the focus
Brian, I didnt know there was
virus economics, but he says
its on the table.
The presidents taken the
lockdown off the table, hes in power
e buttigieg
E Buttigieg,
his adviser admitting it.
We know how to handle Covid 19
now
of we know who it affects.
We know how to protect our
elderly, our seniors, our
vulnerable
Americans have lost their jobs,
their way of life, their wages
were finally coming back with
historic GDP growth. Under this
president,
we cannot have a president that
succumbs to the virus.
We need a president that
overcomes the virus, and that is
exactly what President Trump has
done. While Joe Biden will put
his hands forward and surrender
lock down your schools, churches
and Workplaces
Steve, you know Kayleigh
election night, two thousand and twenty is, unlike
anything weve seen in our
lifetime because usually at the
end of the night, youre
expecting balloon drops and
confetti, and things like that.
Instead, you know there are
businesses all across America
that are boarding up because
theyre afraid there could be.
You know if one candidate wins
a certain way. Suddenly people
are going to be so hacked off
theyre going to knock out the
windows at the gap or something
like that
they are increasing security in
Portland, Philadelphia, ballot,
Porks Charlottesville, Detroit
Janesville, Wisconsin, Chicago
New York, city and Washington,
D, DOT c.
What does that say to you about
the state of America in twenty? Twenty?
That if a certain candidate is
elected or reelected, people are
going to you know, rather than
vote to impact change, theyre
going to try to break a window?
Yeah thats right, Steve
Notice, what those cities have in
common.
They are all democrat cities.
What are they saying with the
boarding up and the civil unrest
that theyre expecting
theyre saying? If you dont
choose the lefts chosen
candidate, we will send the left
out to attack you
thats. As Joe Biden has the
power to say, stand down to the
to mob?
Will he do it?
This is all the proof you need
that the election not be given
federal power.
We deserve the great american
tradition of democracy, of
peaceful elections, of accepting
the vote of the american people.
