"NOBODY'S RACISM AND BIGOTRY
SHOULD BE EXCUSED FOR THE SAKE
OF BEING POLITE."
HERE NOW, LARA TRUMP, TRUMP 2020
CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISOR.
GREAT TO SEE YOU.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.
HELLO TO YOU.
THE PRESIDENT IS CELEBRATING
MARKING THE BIRTH OF DEMOCRACY,
GIVING THAT SPEECH THERE TODAY
IN VIRGINIA, INTERRUPTED BY A
PROTESTER, A DELEGATE WHO IS
DEFENDING HIS DECISION TO DO
THAT.
WHAT'S THE CAMPAIGN'S RESPONSE
TO DOCUMENT >> WHAT YOU HEAR
HERE IS NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT YOU ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT.
IT'S ALL WAS THE CALL OF RACISM
AND MY PROBLEM WITH THIS, AND I
THINK SO MANY PEOPLE'S PROBLEM
WITH CONTINUALLY LOSING RACISM
WHEN WE KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT
TRUE WHEN IT IS JUST A TALKING
POINT FOR THE LEFT SO MUCH OF
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS THAT
WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS TRUE, WHEN
THERE IS RACISM, PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT
ANYMORE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SO
SICK OF HEARING THIS NARRATIVE.
NOTHING THE PRESIDENT SAID THIS
PAST WEEK HAD ANY RACIST TONES.
OF COURSE PEOPLE WILL TRY TO
MAKE THAT INSINUATION.
IT'S NOT SURPRISING, THERE'S
PROTESTERS.
THAT SHOWMAN HAD A RIGHT TO
PROTEST BUT IT'S A SHAME THAT
THE MORE PEOPLE CAN'T CELEBRATE
WITH THE PRESIDENT DID HERE
TODAY.
>> Sandra: IS A CONCERN OF A
CAMPAIGN THAT THEY HAVE THEIR
LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS
DECIDING TO BOYCOTT THE EVENT
AND NOT EVEN SHOWING UP?
>> UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM, IF
THEY WANTED TO SEE SOME MOVEMENT
ON SOMETHING HAPPENING IN
BALTIMORE, HERE WAS A GREAT TIME
WHERE THEY COULD COMMIT WITH THE
PRESIDENT AND SAY THEY'VE CALLED
OUT FOR WHAT YOU WE KNOW TO BE
TRUE, BALTIMORE IS IN SHAMBLES
RIGHT NOW.
THIS CITY AND ITS PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN IGNORED AND FORGOTTEN AND
HOW CAN WE HELP, HOW CAN WE MOVE
FORWARD?
WE KNOW THAT YOU GAVE
$16 BILLION IN FEDERAL GRANTS
LAST YEAR TO BALTIMORE AND TO
THIS SPECIFIC DISTRICT.
IT WHERE HAS IT GONE?
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WITH THAT?
>> Sandra: THE PRESIDENT WAS
ASKED DEPARTING VIRGINIA TODAY
IF HE HAD ANY REGRETS AND THE
RISING FEUD WITH ELIJAH CUMMINGS
AND HE SAID NO.
IS THERE A STRATEGY THE
PRESIDENT IS APPLYING?
HE SAID NO.
OF TO GROW THE PRESIDENT'S
BASED?
WHAT POLITICALLY IS AT PLAY
HERE?
>> I WOULD GIVE CREDIT TO THE
PRESIDENT FOR FINALLY PUTTING
SOME LIGHT ON A CITY THAT
OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND
BY ITS LEADERS.
AND I DON'T SEE ANY STRATEGY TO
IT OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A CITY
WHO -- WHERE YOU SEE THAT THE
CRIME RATE IS THROUGH THE ROOF.
IT'S GOT THE SAME HOMICIDE RATE
IS EL SALVADOR, WHERE PEOPLE ARE
FLEEING TO COME TO THIS COUNTRY,
AND AT LEAST SOMEBODY IS SAYING
LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
>> Sandra: IF IT'S NOT
BALTIMORE, DOES THE PRESIDENT
HAD A GOAL TO GROW HIS BASE?
BECAUSE HEAD OF THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN, HE SAID -- HE
SUGGESTED THIS ISN'T ABOUT
WINNING OVER NEW VOTES FOR THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
>> ONLY ABOUT 70% OF THE
POPULATION TURNS OUT TO VOTE, WE
NEED TO FIND THE PEOPLE, GET
THEM TO VOTE.
IT'S NOT ABOUT GOING OUT THERE
AND TRYING TO FIND SOME BOATER
AND CHANGE HIS MIND.
IT'S ABOUT GETTING THE ONES THAT
SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT NOW AND
GET THEM TO SHOW UP AT THE POLLS
AND VOTE.
>> I AGREE WITH THAT.
FIRST OF ALL, I'VE ALWAYS SAID I
THINK THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR
DONALD TRUMP IN 2016 WILL 100%
COME BACK OUT AND VOTE FOR HIM
IN 2020.
BUT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT
OF PEOPLE THAT DID NOT VOTE FOR
THIS PRESIDENT IN 2016 FOR
WHATEVER REASON IT MIGHT BE, AND
THEIR LIFE IS A LITTLE BIT
BETTER NOW.
THEY HAVE A BETTER JOB, THEY
HAVE MORE MONEY, THEY HAVE MORE
OPPORTUNITY IN THIS COUNTRY AND
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONTRAST
THAT WITH WHAT WE SEE ON THE
OTHER SIDE AND WE ARE GOING TO
HEAR A LOT ABOUT IT TONIGHT AT
THESE DEBATES.
>> Sandra: IT'S INTERESTING,
POLITICO HAD A PIECE ABOUT WHY A
STRONG ECONOMY WILL ACTUALLY
HELP DEMOCRATS IN 2020.
THERE ARE THESE REGIONAL POCKETS
WHO HAVE NOT BENEFITED AS MUCH
AS THE REST OF THE NATION AND
THEY SEE THEIR VOTE FOR
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT GETTING THEM
PERHAPS A NEW JOB OR HIGHER
WAGES OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.
I'M SURE THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE
LOOKING AT WITHIN THE CAMPAIGN,
BUT I'M SURE THESE NUMBERS ARE
ALSO A CONCERN FOR YOU WHEN IT
COMES TO WOMEN, YOU AND I HAVE
CHATTED ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
HERE ARE THE APPROVAL RATINGS OF
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS HANDLING.
MEN, 47% APPROVE.
WE'VE GOT THAT.
WOMEN, 34%.
61% RIGHT NOW IS APPROVED OF THE
PRESIDENT'S JOB RIGHT NOW.
BLACKS, 6% APPROVE, HISPANIC
40%, WHICH IS A HIGH NUMBER, BY
THE WAY.
BUT HOW DO YOU WIN OVER THOSE
FEMALE VOTERS?
>> WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AS A
CAMPAIGN.
WOMEN COALITION, WOMEN FOR
TRUMP.
WE HAD OVER A THOUSAND WOMEN IN
PENNSYLVANIA SHOW UP.
WE'RE GOING TO REPLICATE THIS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WE WANT
WOMEN TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN
SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AND WE WANT
THEM TO TALK TO THEIR FRIENDS
AND TALK TO THEIR COWORKERS AND
EXPLAINED TO THEM BY THIS
PRESIDENT IS SO GOOD.
>> Sandra: YOU DON'T HAVE TO
LOOK FAR TO DECEIVE WOMEN WHO
SUPPORT TRUMP TO SAY WELL, SOME
OF THIS RHETORIC, IT GETS TO
THEM.
SOME OF THE TWEETS, IT GETS TO
THEM.
DO YOU FEAR THAT ANY OF THAT IS
GOING TO TAKE AWAY FROM SOME OF
THOSE WOMEN WHO DID ULTIMATELY
VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT IN 2016?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T THINK
SO.
I THINK WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE
AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN
PEOPLE ARE IN A VOTING BOOTH
WHETHER YOU ARE A MAN OR WOMAN
AND YOU REALLY REFLECT BACK ON
HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THIS
COUNTRY THANKS TO THIS PRESIDENT
AND HOW THINGS ARE LOOKING
BRIGHTER FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY,
I REALLY THINK PEOPLE ARE
ULTIMATELY GOING TO VOTE FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
>> Sandra: THIS IS GOING TO BE
IN "THE DETROIT FREE PRESS," THE
CAMPAIGN JUST PUT THIS OUT.
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND
PICTURED IS THOSE DEMOCRATS ON
THE FIRST DEBATE STAGE SAYING
THAT HEALTH INSURANCE SHOULD GO
TO ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN
THIS COUNTRY AND THEN LISTS THE
PRESIDENT'S RECORD OF
ACCOMPLISHING SPIRIT WHAT
DEMOCRAT ON THAT STAGE TONIGHT
OR TOMORROW NIGHT IS THE
CAMPAIGN FEAR THE MOST?
WHO POSES THE BIGGEST THREAT TO
DONALD TRUMP?
>> I MEAN, I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY
THIS, BUT WE FEEL VERY SOLID AS
A CAMPAIGN ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S
CHANCES AND REALLY I DON'T THINK
ANYONE HAS STOOD OUT IS REALLY A
STRONG, STRONG CONTENDER,
ESPECIALLY SANDRA, WHEN YOU SEE
PEOPLE RAISING THEIR HANDS FOR
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO THIS
COUNTRY.
PEOPLE WHO BROKE OUR LAWS, YET
WE ARE IGNORING THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE CITIZENS OF THE
UNITED STATES.
WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO
SEEING WHAT HAND RAISING MOMENT
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AT THIS
DEBATE AND TOMORROW NIGHT AS
WELL.
>> Sandra: YOU MUST BE
PLANNING ON SOMETHING.
>> WE WILL SEE WHO IT TURNS OUT
TO BE.
WE HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF US.
>> Sandra: WOULD YOU LIKE IT
TO BE?
>> I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH
JOE BIDEN.
I THINK THE PRESIDENT WOULD TOO.
>> Sandra: WHY?
>> I JUST GET REALLY DOESN'T
HAVE THE STAMINA TO GO ALONGSIDE
THIS PRESIDENT TOE-TO-TOE WHEN
IT COMES TO CAMPAIGNING, WHEN IT
COMES TO DEBATING.
HE LOOKED VERY WEAK IN THE LAST
DEBATE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE SO IF
IT'S SLEEPY JOE, AS THE
PRESIDENT CALLS THEM, WE WILL BE
OKAY WITH THAT.
>> Sandra: SOME MIGHT THINK
YOU'RE SAYING HE'S TOO OLD.
PICK A WELL YOU ARE ONLY AS OLD
AS YOU ACT AND AS OLD AS YOU
FEEL.
>> Sandra: INTERESTING.
THE PRESIDENT REFERENCED IN
TODAY, HE DOES BELIEVE THAT
JOE BIDEN WILL ULTIMATELY BE HIS
