>>> PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AMY book things to do, TripAdvisor.
>>> PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AMY KLOBUCHAR SETTING HERSELF APART
FROM HER RIVALS DURING A KEY
STOP IN THE STATE OF IOWA LAST
NIGHT.
NIGHT. POINTING OUT ONE KEY DIFFERENCE.
>> I AM AN UNDERDOG.
I THINK I’M AT NUMBER SIX,
SEVEN.
SEVEN. I AM MOVING UP, WHICH IS A GOOD
PLACE TO BE, WITH MY SNOWGLOBE
INTACT.
INTACT. >> THERE YOU GO.
I WANT MY PANEL BACK IN.
A.B., I GO TO YOU FIRST.
DO YOU THINK A MALE CANDIDATE
WOULD EVER LOOK AT THEMSELVES
AND SAY, I’M AN UNDERDOG?
IS SHE UNDERSELLING HERSELF?
I WANT TO BE LIKE, COME ON NOW,
I SAW YOU AT THE KAVANAUGH
HEARINGS.
HEARINGS. YOU WERE THE CHAMPION.
>> I THINK ACTUALLY THAT’S A
TACTIC TO DEPLOY.
I THINK MEN USE IT AS WELL.
IT’S LOWERING EXPECTATIONS.
DEPLOY.
DEPLOY. MEN USE IT AS WELL.
LOWER EXPECTATIONS AND SHE’S
ALSO TRYING TO SORT OF SAY I’M
DROWNING HERE IN THE MODERATE
LANE BECAUSE THIS IS A WHACKY
PARTY OF OUT OF CONTROL
SOCIALISTS.
SOCIALISTS. SO I’M THE UNDERDOG IN THIS LEFT
WING PARTY, AND IT’S -- IT IS
GOOD TO LOWER EXPECTATIONS.
THEN YOU CAN BEAT THEM AND THEN
SHE ALSO, LIKE I SAID, I THINK
IT’S A SIGNAL TO DONORS AND
THOSE DESPERATE FOR BIDEN AND
OTHERS TO GET IN THAT SHE’S
THEIR WOMAN AT THIS POINT.
I LIKE THAT SHE MENTIONED THE
SNOW GLOBE WHICH SHE’S THRILLED
ABOUT NOW.
ABOUT NOW. IT’S AN ASSET.
>> IT’S AN ICONIC MOMENT.
>> THAT’S AN EXCELLENT POINT.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, WHAT DO
YOU THINK ABOUT HER POSITION?
ONE OF THE ISSUES IS THE CENTER
ISN’T SEXY.
ISN’T SEXY. I WATCHED HER TOWN HALL THE
OTHER NIGHT.
OTHER NIGHT. WHEN SHE WAS TALKING TRUTH ABOUT
HOW EXPENSE I IT IS TO PAY
PROGRESSIVE IDEAS, SHE KIND OF
GOT THIS.
GOT THIS. SHE WAS BEING REALISTIC.
>> WELL, THAT’S A FUNDAMENTAL
CHOICE THEY’RE ALL GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE OVER THE NEXT YEAR IS DO
THEY WANT TO BANK ON BEING
REALISTIC AND TELLING HARD
TRUTHS TO AN AUDIENCE.
IN HER CASE, IT WAS A COLLEGE
UNIVERSITY WHERE SHE WAS SAYING
TUITION SHOULDN’T BE FREE, OR DO
YOU REALIZE THAT MAYBE THE
PRIMARY VOTERS DON’T WANT TO
HEAR YOU BE HONEST IF IT’S THAT
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GET WHAT
THEY WANT?
THEY WANT? AND I WOULD HOPE THAT HER
APPROACH IS THE ONE THAT WINS,
NOT HER PARTICULARLY, BUT THAT
FULL HONESTY.
FULL HONESTY. BUT I DON’T KNOW.
BECAUSE IT REALLY DEPENDS ON
WHAT KIND OF PURITY -- HE’S
LAUGHING.
LAUGHING. >> AGAIN, I CAN FEEL --
>> I’M JUST --
>> I’M LIKE WHAT AMERICA DO YOU
LIVE IN?
LIVE IN? THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES RAN ON BUILDING A WALL
AND BUILDING A SPACE FORCE.
WHEN DOES SOMEONE GO PRACTICAL
WHEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?
THAT’S HOW PEOPLE LOSE.
YOU HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT
YOUR FANTASY.
YOUR FANTASY. PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW YOUR DREAMS.
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ISES A
SEPARATION
SEPARATION PRECIPITATIONAL.
PRECIPITATIONAL. I WANT TO HEAR SOMEONE SAY I
WANT BIGGER THAN WHAT WE HAVE.
THAT’S MY DREAM.
>> I DON’T KNOW, JASON.
MAYBE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF FALSE
PROMISES.
PROMISES. >> THE GUY IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS
STILL WINNING AND HE’LL PROBABLY
GET REELECTED ON FALSE PROMISES.
I’M NOT SAYING LIE.
HAVING A DREAM --
>> IN 2015 I WENT WHEN HILLARY
CLINTON WOULD NOT GO ALONG WITH
THE 100% FREE TUITION.
IT WAS A SILLY WEDGE TO ALLOW
BERNIE SANDERS TO USE.
IF 1% GOES TO DON JUNIOR, DEAL
WITH THAT LATER.
BE ASPIRATIONAL.
BE ASPIRATIONAL. I WAS SURPRISED ON COLLEGE
EDUCATION AND A FEW OTHER THING
PEOPLE ARE MAKING ISSUES OUT OF
THINGS --
THINGS -- >> WHY?
>> WHY? ISN’T THAT A WAY THEY COULD
START TO PULL REPUBLICAN VOTERS?
>> LOOK, THE PARTY IS FAR MORE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF
THE PARTY.
THE PARTY. I MEAN, NOT EVERYONE IN THE
PARTY IS CONCERNED BUT BIG
DONORS AND BIG PARTY LEADERS ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
NARRATIVE THAT’S ANTI-ISRAEL,
ANTI-PROSECUTOR,
ANTI-PROSECUTOR, ANTI-BILLIONAIRE AND
ANTI-BILLIONAIRE AND ANTI-AIRPLANE, ANTI-SEMITIC, AND
THAT THERE’S NO ONE IN THE RACE
PUSHING BACK ON THIS EXCEPT FOR
MAYBE KLOBUCHAR.
MAYBE KLOBUCHAR. THAT’S WHY THEY WANT THESE OTHER
PEOPLE TO GET IN.
>> EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM --
>> HOLD ON.
>> THEY DON’T WANT TO BE A PUNCH
LINE IN DONALD TRUMP’S RALLIES
THIS EARLY IN WHAT IS SUSPECTED
TO BE A LENGTHY PROCESS THAT
COULD GO INTO NEXT MAY.
>> DONALD TRUMP --
>> HOLD ON.
JASON, TO THAT POINT IF YOU TURN
ON FOX NEWS AT 9:00 P.M. AT
NIGHT, THEY’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
KLOBUCHAR BECAUSE SHE’S A
THREAT.
THREAT. THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THE
EXTREME LEFT AND SAYING HOW
UN-AMERICAN IT IS AND IT’S A
THREAT TO THE COUNTRY AND WLRNT
YOU AGREE WITH THAT, MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE WATCH THAT AT NIGHT, SOME
OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. THEY’RE DISALLUSIONED WITH HIM,
AND THE VOTES ARE AVAILABLE.
THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE
EXTREME LEFT.
EXTREME LEFT. >> YEAH BUT KAMALA HARRIS ISN’T
THE EXTREME LEFT.
CORY BOOKER ISN’T THE EXTREME
LEFT.
LEFT. THE ONLY EXTREME LEFT IS
PROBABLY BERNIE SANDERS, AND THE
IDEA OF SAYING THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY IS ANTI-BUSINESS, MOST OF
THESE PEOPLE TAKE WALL STREET
MONEY.
MONEY. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM IN GETTING
BILLIONAIRES MORE CASH.
THEY’RE NOT ANTI-ISRAEL OR
ANTI-SEMITIC.
ANTI-SEMITIC. >> THEY DON’T SEE PUSHBACK FROM
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
>> BUT THEY’RE REFLECTING WHAT
THEIR CONSTITUENTS WANT.
THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THIS
CAMPAIGN.
CAMPAIGN. AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU HAVE A
SITTING PRESIDENT WHO ONLY WON
47% OF THE VOTE.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA DOESN’T
LIKE THIS GUY.
THEY DIDN’T LIKE HIM FOUR YEARS
AGO.
AGO. IF THERE’S A WINDOW FOR A
DEMOCRAT TO COME UP WITH
SOMETHING CRAZY, NOW IS THE
TIME.
TIME. >> THEY’RE AFRAID DEMOCRATS ARE
GOING TO SIT THE ELECTION OUT.
THEY’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
IDEA REPUBLICANS ARE SELLING
THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE RADICAL.
IT WILL MAKE VOTERS SIT OUT.
VOTERS STAYED HOME ON HILLARY
CLINTON.
CLINTON. I KNOW A LOT OF THEM.
THAT’S WHY SHE LOST.
>> I THINK A LOT OF NEVER
TRUMPERS WILL VOTE ON ANYTHING
THAT WALKS.
THAT WALKS. >> YOU THINK A NEVER TRUMPER IS
GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE
LEFT?
LEFT? >> THEY’RE GOING TO VOTE NEVER
TRUMP.
TRUMP. >> THEY’LL STAY HOME.
>> I DON’T THINK SO.
THEY UNDERSTAND -- AS SOMEONE
WHO HAS BEEN ON FOX AT 9:00 MORE
THAN ANY HUMAN BEING SHOULD, I
KNOW AND KLOBUCHAR DESERVES
CREDIT FOR TRYING TO APPEAL TO
THAT CROWD DIRECTLY.
SHE’S GONE ON THE NETWORK.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THEY NEED
TO HEAR THAT THERE IS AN
ALTERNATIVE.
ALTERNATIVE. ARE THEY GOING TO BUY IT?
PROBABLY NOT.
PROBABLY NOT. BUT THEY NEED TO HEAR THERE ARE
PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO SAY I THINK
AMERICA CAN BE THIS.
IT’S NOT WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS THE
BUNCH LINE.
BUNCH LINE. HE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE THEM INTO
PUNCH LINES.
PUNCH LINES. AND YOU CAN’T PREVENT HIM FROM
CALLING THEM ANTISEMITIC.
THEY HAVE TO SAY HE IS BOKNKERS,
A LIAR, A CHEAT, AND WE’RE GOING
TO BEAT THEM, AND I’M GOING TO
MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS HEALTH
CARE AND PEOPLE CAN GO TO
COLLEGE --
COLLEGE -- >> BUT WHY CAN’T YOU SAY THESE
THINGS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND
THEN OFFER SOMETHING MORE
MODERATE IN HOPES OF GETTING ALL
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BECAUSE
NONE OF THEM ARE GOING TO
VOTE --
VOTE -- >> I’M JUST SAYING IF THIS PANIC
WASN’T REAL, YOU’D WOULDN’T HAVE
SEEN DURBIN MAKING FUN OF THE
GREEN NEW DEAL.
WHAT IS THAT ANYWAY?
THEY’RE IN A PANIC.
>> THEY HAVE BEEN WRONG PLENTY
OF TIMES.
OF TIMES. I’M SURE CORY BOOKER AND SENATOR
HARRIS ARE THRILLED THEY’RE
SUDDENLY LIBERALS BECAUSE
THEY’RE NOT.
THEY’RE NOT. MOST OF THE LIBERAL BASE DOESN’T
LIKE THEM.
LIKE THEM. THE NOTION THAT THEY HAVE TO RUN
AFRAID OF HOW THE REPUBLICANS
FRAME THEM IS WHY THEY KEEP
LOSING.
LOSING. AS LONG AS WHAT YOU’RE SELLING
SEEMS TO BE APPEALING TO PEOPLE,
SELL IT.
SELL IT. IF IT DOESN’T WORK, THEY’LL FIND
OUT.
OUT. THE IDEA THEY NEED TO BE AFRAID,
TRUMP IS GOING TO MAKE FUN OF
US.
US. TRUMP WILL MAKE FUN OF ANYBODY.
>> STOP.
>> STOP. COME ON.
COME ON. >> WE TOOK THE HOUSE BACK WHICH
WE’RE SEEING EVERY DAY HOW
IMPORTANT THAT IS BECAUSE WE GOT
OUR PEOPLE EXCITED.
WE MADE SURE THEY KNEW IF THEY
DIDN’T VOTE, THEY COULDN’T
COMPLAIN.
COMPLAIN. AND WE DIDN’T RUN AROUND SAYING
OH, MR. NEVER TRUMPER, MRS.
NEVER TRUMPER, HOW DO YOU FEEL
LIKE VOTING FOR CONGRESSMAN OH
KAS OWE CORTEZ?
>> BUT THEY WON ON THE
PLATFORMS.
PLATFORMS. >> WHAT PLATFORMS?
>> WE PAID OFF -- TO THE EXTENT
THAT WE GOT SUBURBAN WOMEN WITH
COLLEGE EDUCATIONS.
COLLEGE EDUCATIONS. >> THAT’S HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
WON.
WON. >> IN GEORGIA, THE WINNER WON ON
GUN CONTROL, A DISTRICT LOST TO
THE DEMOCRATS AFTER $15 MILLION
LAST YEAR.
LAST YEAR. >> GUN CONTROL IS NOT EXTREME.
>> BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT
IS IN GEORGIA.
THE IDEA YOU’RE GOING TO TAKE MY
GUNS AND SHE STILL RAN AND WON
IN A DISTRICT THAT HAD BEEN WON
BY REPUBLICANS THE LAST YEAR.
THE DEMOCRATS -- I SAY THIS ALL
THE TIME.
THE TIME. I’M NOT A DEMOCRAT, BUT THEY’RE
NOT WRONG FOR ONCE.
FOR ONCE, THEY’RE NOT WRONG IN
RUNNING ON THEIR POLICIES.
THEY HAVE RUN SCARED FOR CYCLE
AFTER CYCLE, AND THAT’S WHY
NOBODY TRUSTS THEM.
AMERICAN VOTERS WOULD RATHER
FOLLOW SOMEONE WITH BELIEVES
RATHER THAN SOMEONE WHO IS GOING
TO PANDER TO THEM.
>> WE’RE OUT OF TIME, BUT
HILLARY CLINTON GOT 3 MILLION
MORE VOTES.
MORE VOTES. WITHOUT GETTING INTO THAT WHOLE
THING, IT’S NOT LIKE THE WHOLE
WORLD STAYED HOME.
>> BUT THEY STAYED HOME IN THREE
STATES.
STATES. >> I KNOW.
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY I’M
SITTING HERE UNEMPLOYED.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT.
THE POINT IS THAT THE MODEL
WORKED.
WORKED. THE MODEL WORKED AND TO THE
EXTENT PEOPLE WANT TO SAY SHE
WOULD HAVE GONE TO WISCONSIN AND
MICHIGAN, YOU’RE CONFIRMING THE
POINT THAT THE MODEL WORKED.
WE NEED TO GET DEMOCRATS OUT.
IF REPUBLICANS WANT TO JOIN US,
FINE.
FINE. IF THEY DON’T, THEY DON’T.
THERE’S 35% THAT ARE COMPRISING
80, 85, 90% OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY THAT ARE GONE.
I DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE OR
WHAT THEY’RE THINKING.
BUT THEY’RE GONE.
THERE IS SOME PORTION OF
REASONABLE PEOPLE LEFT WHETHERS
THE TOM NICKELS OR BILL KRISTOL
OR WHOEVER.
