Former deputy assistant to President George W. Bush Brad Blakeman joins 'FOX & Friends.'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Especially on an issue like
this
tune in
dont miss it
well move on with the vacancy
left by the passing of justice,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg. What could
happen if the twenty twenty election
ended up in the hands of the
Supreme Court?
Our next guest was in Florida
for the Bush V Gore Recount
Tis Dispute in two thousand,
a recount was ultimately thrown
out by the Supreme Court.
Will here, with the political
implications, Brad Blakeman,
former deputy assistant to
President George W Bush and an
advisor to the Bush Cheney
campaign.
Thank you for being with us.
Brad
pleasure
will lets set this up.
This is a potential catastrophe.
If there is not a presidential
nomination to the Supreme Court
before the election and one that
takes place essentially before
the legislation results come in
were set up for a four four
court that could potentially be
passed with deciding the
election. Is that right?
Absolutely
let me quote Chuck Schumer.
I dont often do that in twenty sixteen,
he said every day that goes by
where we dont have nine
justices is a day that justice
isnt done
demanded back in twenty. Sixteen with the
nomination of Obama, his Supreme
Court justice in an election
year that it be done
and all of sudden now it is
improper to do it.
It has been done sixteen times prior
in our nations history.
It should be done,
it must be done,
and not only is this election
hanging in the balance, but every
decision that Thehe Supreme Cour
makes, while there is a vacancy,
is a missed opportunity for
justice to be fully and
appreciated.
Pete Brad, you have been in the
middle of this.
I had the pleasure we had
dinner. You shared the
shenanigans what went on in
Florida.
It is really amazing when you
hear the entire story.
What is the potential of what
the left may do?
We talked about court packing
this morning,
the ballots recounting? What are
you anticipating?
Well, im, anticipating chaos?
This is exactly what the
Democrats are sowing
theyre telling us how chaotic
things are going to be yet
theyre, making the rules and
theyre fostering and festering
the chaos. They hope will take
place,
the more uncertainty that
happens. They figure they will
be beneficiaries of it.
Lets take Florida back. Almost
twenty years ago
there were sixty seven counties in
Florida that were machine
recounted as a matter of course,
and then Gore picked only a
handful of counties for hand
recounts
that was a mess.
Can you magnify that over many
states and thousands of
counties
we dont have the wherewithal
for oversight?
Mail in balloting itself invites
chaos just by the sheer volume
alone and manpower it takes to
count those ballots.
So Democrats are hoping that
there will be chaos that they
will be able to benefit from it
either in the reef count
itself, recount itself, state
or federal.
We saw it in Florida
we saw battle, keeping recounts,
honest and transparent.
We saw a battle in the state
courts.
Eventually it made its way to
the Supreme Court around. They
ended the shenanigans
Jedediah Brad Blakeman thanks
so much for being here.
People are deeply concerned
about a potential constitutional
crisis.
The more we hear about it more
likely. That could unfortunately
be the case,
but the cure is get out vote
in person
get out to vote.
