This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Press secretary and author of a
great new book called speaking
for myself
good morning to you
good Morning,
Steve, and there is the book
right there.
So Griff was talking about these
lawsuits that the campaign is
filing across the country
because they want to make sure
that all of the votes that are
counted are legitimate votes,
but Rudy said yesterday he
announced that they were taking
legal action to stop rampant
corruption that is happening
across the country.
Any idea what he is talking
about,
im, not sure on specifics
that Rudy is talking about,
but I do know that the campaign
wants to make sure that every
vote that is counted is a legal
vote,
and I think that we have a
responsibility to do it.
We want to make sure that we
have transparency in the process
and that every person that
showed up to vote that those
votes were counted.
I think the campaign is right to
pursue that this race is too
close, not to make sure that
everything is done correctly.
I think thats what they are
trying to push for in these you
know last twenty four hours and in the
days moving forward
Ainsley states still up for
grabs, Nevada, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, Georgia,
Alaska and if you look at build
back better dot com,
Joe Biden already has a website
put together.
Coughing
excuse me and says Biden, Harris
Transition, and the only thing it
has a picture of him and the
only thing it says is the
american people will determine
who will serve as the next
president of the United States
votes are still being counted in
several states across the
country.
Coughing.
Excuse me.
The crisis facing the country
severe from a pandemic to
economic recession,
climate change to radical
injustice and the transition
team will continue precinct at
full Speed Biden. Harris
administration can hit the
ground running on day, one
too soon. For that you think
what are your thoughts about?
What is happening right now?
I definitely think its too
soon,
because the election hasnt been
called. There are still too many
states out there that are too
close to call for them to make a
determination.
I would actually add Arizona to
that list. Pathway for the
President,
Arizona and Pennsylvania are key
for the president,
both places where he still has a
path to victory, and so I think
it is incredibly too early for
them to make that type of
announcement, because we have
votes still to be counted and
has to be completed before we
can determine the winner of this
race.
Brian Joe Biden would be
fighting in the same way with
different lawyers for the same
thing, especially last night,
Arizona which they called it
seems that Donald Trump picked
up. Eleven thousand votes last night
so were going to see what
happens,
and you have a recount that could be underway in Wisconsin
could be underway in Wisconsin,
because that is so close.
Your thoughts, an what I said, can
you pass if you want?
Certainly Joe Bidens team
would be doing the same thing
when Donald Trump won in twenty sixteen,
they spent months actually
years questioning his actual
Brian four
four years to be exact,
I dont think they ever accepted
the results of the twenty sixteen
election.
One thing is clear: this race has
not been completed in terms of a
final winner. They have got to
make sure they count every
ballot.
One of the other things big
stories of elections day that
hasnt been talked about a lot.
Donald Trump is the person who
actually expanded the republican
base.
He is the one that brought in a
new voting demographic for
Republicans, working class,
whites, blacks, Hispanics.
He has done historically better.
That is a huge story of the
night.
He will continue to be a force
in american politics. No matter
what happens,
he is still the leader of this party.
He still has a strong, passive Pa
Arizona for the next four years
Steve. We have learned so much
about different states, election
laws, because every state has
different rules because they are
passed by the legislature.
One of the things that has upset
a number of people who voted for
Donald Trump and the Trump team
itself is the fact that the laws
in Pennsylvania were the laws as
written until last Friday in the
Supreme Court in Pennsylvania,
said, you know what
you dont need to have a
positive id to drop off
something into one of those drop
boxes.
You know what
we are also going to change. The
legislatures law, where you have
got to have the ballots in by
election day,
were going to take them until
Friday
August sorts of things like
that.
I can understand the problems
with it.
At the same time, we have never
been in a pandemic before
there are certainly
unprecedented challenges.
You also have to keep in mind. No
is in charge of the counting and
process someone who is
unapologetically a hater of
Donald Trump and has posted many
times publicly on social media,
just how much
Brian, the attorney general,
how much they hate this
president.
That does create a problem for
Pennsylvania.
I think thats. Another reason
that we have to have
transparency in this process.
We have to make sure that there
are members of both campaigns
that get to be part of and make
sure that each ballot that is
Countside a legal vote and
should be actually added to the
final tally
its important. We have that
transparency, particularly
Pennsylvania
Ainsley. It seems our country is
so divided and a lot of people
looking forward to the election
being over to we can come
together as a country.
The gap posted a picture of this
sweatshirt one side, red and one
side, blue,
the tweet said. One thing we know
is together: we can move forward,
they decided to take it down
Steve. They got a lot of blow
back
Ainsley exactly
just too soon. For this message,
we remain optimistic that our
country will come together to
drive positive change for all.
Maybe it was too soon.
This is a sign that the cancel
culture not going away.
If you dont agree with us,
we dont like your opinion, then
we dont want to hear it.
You know, I think, thats
incredibly sad.
I dont think there is ever a
bad time for a country to come
together. That doesnt mean that
there arent, certainly political
divisions.
I think they most certainly
exist, and we have seen that over
the last several months.
There is no time when its not a
good thing for the american
people to come together to work
together.
I think that should be happening
now.
Lets work together,
get a final tally on this race.
Obviously,
I hope that it is in favor of
President Trump
Withbut. At the end of the day,
are all Americans and I dont
think that there is ever a bad
time.
I think its a shame that they
are so unwilling and so cowardly
to actually stand up for a
positive message.
I think that just goes to show
you how dangerous and how bad
cancel culture is. In America,
Brian gap used to be able to
shop in New York City was right
across the street.
They thought it would be better
idea to keep everyone
unemployed.
This is not actually a
sweatshirt.
This is actually an idea of
coming together
thought it would be good for the
brand and maybe the blow back
isnt that bad
whats wrong with having people
come together. Essentially,
the other thing real, quick
CNN is reporting. The president
is in a dark mood since then and
kind of knows he lost
Couldwould. You describe that the
way
I dont think thats
accurate.
He certainly hasnt lost.
I think we have to make sure
these votes are counted.
There is still very much a
pathway for the president.
His team have to continue
fighting and make sure they get
again a final tally here in
this process.
I think he is very much still
alive and we will have to see
what happens over the next few
days. Hopefully, we will get.
