>>> WE ARE A MONTH AWAY FROM
THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.
NOW, HOW THEY PLAN TO DO THAT
DEPENDS ON THE OUTCOME OF THE
FIRST CRIMINAL TRIAL WHICH
COULD WRAP UP AS EARLY AS THIS
WEEK.
IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY, WE HAVE
LEARNED THAT THE CAMPAIGN IS
DECIDING TO BRAND HIM AS A
CONVICTED FELON.
WITH US OF THE CO-CHAIR OF THE
BIDEN AND HARRIS CAMPAIGN.
ALL RIGHT, THE FORMER MAYOR OF
NEW ORLEANS.
MR. MAYOR, LET'S START THERE.
LESS THAN A MONTH OUT FROM THE DEBATES, WHAT IS THE PLAN?
DEBATES, WHAT IS THE PLAN?
IF HE IS CONVICTED, ARE WE
GOING WITH THE CONVICTED FELON
TRUMP LABEL?
>> IF I MIGHT, WITH YOUR
PERMISSION START OFF WITH THIS,
TOMORROW IS MEMORIAL DAY.
THE DAY THAT WE TAKE A MOMENT
TO STEP BACK AND REMEMBER ALL
OF THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT GAVE
THEIR FULL MEASURE TO PRESERVE
FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, I HAVE THE HONOR OF STANDING ON THE
THE HONOR OF STANDING ON THE
BEACH WHERE THE CEMETERY IS.
IT TAKES ME TO A PLACE OF BEING
THANKFUL AND REMEMBERING THE
SACRIFICE THAT PEOPLE OF MAINE
TO SECURE OUR FREEDOM.
THEN IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL
THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WANTS
TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES THAT CALLED ALL OF THOSE
PEOPLE LOSERS AND SUCKERS
BECAUSE THEY ARE FIGHTING TO
PROVE TACT OUR FREEDOM.
WE ALL, AS EQUALS, FREE AND
FAIR ELECTIONS.
THE IDEA THAT WE ABIDE BY THE
RULE OF LAW.
DONALD TRUMP IS UNHINGED AND
DANGEROUS.
THIS IS WHAT OUR STRATEGY WILL
BE TO TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO HE IS.
ABOUT WHO HE IS.
WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE DURING
THE WORST PANDEMICS THAT WE
HAVE HAD, HIS LEADERSHIP STYLE
WAS TO TELL EVERYONE TO DRINK
BLEACH.
WHEN HE DID NOT WIN THE
ELECTION, HE BECAME DELUSIONAL.
HE LOST BY 1 MILLION VOTES AND
HIS IDEA OF LEADERSHIP WAS TO
INCITE INSURRECTION AND WHEN
THE MOB WENT TO THE CAPITAL FOR
THE FIRST TIME AND PUT THE
CONFEDERATE FLAG IN THESE
SACRED SPACE, HE SAT BACK AND
DID NOTHING.
HE HAS DECIDED TO DO WORSE AND
DO MORE. GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENT?
HE WOULD SAY, I WAS TOO NICE.
WE WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT
WHO HE WAS, WHAT HE HAS DONE,
AND YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT, HE IS TALKING ABOUT ASKING
IT, HE IS TALKING ABOUT ASKING
THE COUNTRY TO GIVE HIM
IMMUNITY.
HE IS UNHINGED.
DANGEROUS, AND WE CANNOT LET
HIM GET BACK IN THE OVAL
OFFICE.
>> HE WAS ALSO LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR FROM LOUISIANA.
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT.
I LOVE THE WAY THAT YOU STARTED
THE CONVERSATION NOTING THE
IMPORTANCE OF THIS WEEKEND.
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS PUT OUT
A STATEMENT REFERENCING THAT
THE AMERICAN DREAM, SO MANY
SACRIFICE FOR IS UNDER THREAT
FROM DONALD TRUMP.
HE CALLED THEM SUCKERS AND
LOSERS.
DREAMS OF A DICTATOR, CAN I
REPEAT THAT FOR THOSE OF YOU
THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS
MOMENT IS.
DONALD TRUMP CALLS THOSE WHO
SERVED AND DIED FOR THIS
COUNTRY SUCKERS AND LOSERS. HE SEES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY
HE SEES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO CREATE THE UNIFIED RIGHT.
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE
ECONOMY AND GAS PRICES, THAT IS
IMPORTANT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE
ARE FEELING ON THAT FRONT, YOU
CANNOT LOSE SIGHT OF THIS TRUTH
AS WELL.
HOW CAN YOU CREATE THAT LANE
WHERE BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE
BROUGHT TOGETHER?
YOU SEE THE UNIFICATION OF THE
COUNTRY AROUND THIS IDEA THAT
HE IS A THREAT.
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT GAS
PRICES?
GUESS WHAT IT WILL BE FOR A MAN
WHO WANTS TO IMPOSE TARIFFS?
>> YOU MAKE THE CASE.
THE REASON WE KEEP REPEATING IT
IS BECAUSE SOME OF US HAVE
SELECTED AMNESIA.
YOU AND I WOULD ARGUE ABOUT THE
BEST WAY TO BUILD A ROAD.
OR MAYBE THE BEST WAY FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO DO THEIR WORK.
ALL OF THOSE ARGUMENTS TAKE
PLACE IN A FRAME WHERE WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THE
CONSTITUTION AND PEOPLE'S
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE
EQUAL AND THE SYSTEM WILL PULL
US BACK INTO PLACE, DONALD
TRUMP IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT
THAT WANTS TO BURN THAT SYSTEM
TO THE GROUND.
HE WANTS TO UPROOT THE TREE AND
ALL OF ITS ROOTS.
HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY.
DEMOCRACY.
THAT IS WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
FIGHTING FOR.
THE PRESIDENT IS CONCERNED
ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
WHY HE PASSED LEGISLATION TO
CREATE FIFTH TEEN MILLION JOBS.
HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST
OF LIVING.
INFLATION IS 9% DOWN TO 3%.
WE GO AFTER BIG PHARMA, BIG
OIL, COMPANIES THAT ARE TAKING
PROFITS. REDUCING THE COST OF INSULIN,
REDUCING THE COST OF INSULIN,
DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO GET RID
OF HEALTHCARE.
THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION.
HE PUT THREE PEOPLE ON THE
SUPREME COURT.
IF THAT IS THE FIRST THING TO
COME STATE AFTER STATE WITH
CRIMINALIZED ABORTION, TAKING
AWAY VOTING RIGHTS BY ALLOWING
LEGISLATURES TO TAKE AWAY THE
RIGHTS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS
CITIZENS, WHAT WILL THEY COME
FOR NEXT?
THAT IS WHAT DONALD TRUMP
WANTS.
HE DOES NOT THINK THAT THE LINE
APPLIES.
YOU CANNOT HAVE AN ARGUMENT
ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF IF
DEMOCRACY DOES NOT EXIST AND
FREEDOM IS NOT SECURED.
>> MR. MAYOR, LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR, PART OF THIS IS ABOUT
HIGHLIGHTING HIS RECORD AND
WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS DONE.
LOTS PULL UP THE FULL SCREEN.
THE GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK.
FOOD PRICES FALLING, INCOMES
RISING ACROSS ALL INCOME
LEVELS.
THIS IS A CONVERSATION WE COME
BACK TO ALL THE TIME.
THE JOB BECOMES SELLING THOSE
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
MAKING SURE THAT DOTS ARE
CONNECTED, WHAT DOES IT LOOK
LIKE CONNECTING THOSE DOTS?
>> THIS CAMPAIGN IS KICKING
OFF.
HE CAN ASK DONALD TRUMP WHY HE
WANTED TO EVISCERATE ROE VERSUS
WADE.
HE WANTS TO TALK TO DONALD
TRUMP ABOUT HIS NEED TO CREATE
POLITICAL VIOLENCE.
WHERE HIS IDEA OF CREATING JOBS
IS THE BILLIONAIRE TAX BREAKS.
HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
THAT IS THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE.
ON AND ON.
HIS CLEAR MESSAGE IS THIS, NONE
OF THOSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN.
LET ME SAY THIS.
PEOPLE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT
WHEN JOE BIDEN TOOK OVER.
WE WERE IN THE ACTIVE
INSURRECTION.
THE PANDEMIC WAS THE WORST IN
THE WORLD.
HE HAD THE LEADERSHIP OF
RUNNING THROUGH PROBLEMS AND
FINDING SOLUTIONS PUTTING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK.
HE WATCHED PEOPLE GO THROUGH
THE CAPITAL THREATENING TO KILL
PEOPLE.
WHEN PEOPLE WERE DYING FROM THE
PANDEMIC, HE ASKED PEOPLE TO
SETTLE DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
THOSE ARE PRETTY CLEAR.
THIS IS WHY I FEEL CONFIDENT
