LARRY: CONSIDER THIS, FOLKS, THE
BLUE-COLLAR BOOM WE TALKED ABOUT
A FEW MOMENTS AGO ON THIS SHOW
IS RESHAPING THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
THE LAST DECADE, ACCORDING TO
NBC NEWS POLL, THE PERCENTAGE OF
BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS, BLUE-COLLAR
VOTERS WHO CALL THEMSELVES
REPUBLICANS HAS GROWN BY 12
POINTS.
THAT SPREADS INTO HISPANIC,
BLACK AND WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS,
ALL AREAS, WHERE THE GOP HAS
SEEN BIG ECONOMIC GROWTH.
IT HAS PAID A LOT OF ATTENTION
TO IT.
JOINING US NOW, THE BEST OF THE
BEST, FOLKS.
THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST.
THIS IS BLUE CHIP.
THIS IS CLASS A PLUS STUFF.
SARAH SANDERS, MY PAL.
I SAY IT OPENLY, FORMER
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND NOW
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF
ARKANSAS.
SARAH, WE’LL GET TO THE BLUE
COLLARS IN A MINUTE BUT WE HAD
OUR FRIEND FRENCH HILL, HOUSE
MEMBER FROM ARKANSAS ON JUST A
FEW MOMENTS AGO AND HERE IS WHAT
HE SAID ABOUT YOUR RACE?
SARAH SANDERS COMING ON LATER IN
THE SHOW.
SHE IS A GREAT PAL OF YOURS,
GREAT FRIEND OF MINE, FRENCH,
CAN SHE BE GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS?
>> SARAH SANDERS WILL BE NEXT
GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS.
LARRY: RIGHT ON.
RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN
THAT.
[LAUGHTER].
YOU’RE SCHEDULED TO SPEAK AT
CPAC.
SO IS PRESIDENT TRUMP.
SO IS KUDLOW.
LET’S DO IT RIGHT, HOW IS THE
RACE LOOKING FOR YOU?
>> IT IS LOOKING GREAT.
FRANKLY, LARRY I THINK I SHOULD
QUIT THE INTERVIEW RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE THERE IS NO BETTER INTRO
I COULD HAVE WHAT YOU JUST GAVE
ME.
I WANT TO START AND END STRONG.
IT IS AN HONOR TO BE WITH YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SHOW.
NOBODY MORE DESERVING.
NOBODY BETTER SUITED TO SPEAK
ABOUT THE ECONOMY EVERY SINGLE
DAY THAN YOU.
ONE OF THE SMARTEST ECONOMISTS I
KNOW BUT ALSO ONE OF THE BEST
COMMUNICATORS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
I HAVE WORKED WITH A LOT OF
THEM.
SO I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR YOU
AND YOUR SHOW.
I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME ON.
LARRY: THANK YOU, SARAH,
BASICALLY THE RACE LOOKS GOOD.
WE’LL DO NATIONAL STUFF IN A
SECOND BUT WHAT ARE THE HOT
YOU’RE LOOKING AT IN THE RACE.
PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY ELSE
DROPPED OUT AS SOON AS YOU
DECLARED.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THE
DEMOCRATS ARE RUN ANYBODY.
IT WON’T MATTER ANYHOW.
IS THERE A KEY ISSUE YOU WANT TO
EMPHASIZE?
>> I THINK THE BIG AREAS OF
ARKANSAS HAS TO FOCUS ON,
FRANKLY I THINK IT MATTERS FOR
THE COUNTRY, EDUCATION,
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT
TO CREATE OPPORTUNITY AND
FREEDOM IN A PATHWAY TO
PROSPERITY THAN EDUCATION.
THAT’S SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO A
LOT BETTER JOB ON HERE IN OUR
STATE.
I THINK IT IS WHAT WILL ALLOWS
TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE
STATES AROUND US AND FRANKLY,
COMPETE IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY.
WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB ON
EDUCATION.
THAT WILL BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR
ME DURING THE CAMPAIGN AS WELL
AS HOPEFULLY WHEN I BECOME
GOVERNOR HERE IN A COUPLE YEARS.
LARRY: GOOD STUFF.
NOW THIS NBC POLL IS
INTERESTING, HOW THE REPUBLICAN
BASE IS REALLY BECOMING A
BLUE-COLLAR BASE.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT.
WE CALLED IT THE BLUE-COLLAR
BOOM.
THE PRESIDENT ADOPTED THAT ALSO.
IT IS ACTUALLY TWO BLUE-COLLAR
BOOMS BECAUSE ANOTHER ONE IS
DEVELOPING HERE AT THE END OF
THE PANDEMIC BUT HOW DOES THIS
SHAPE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
NATIONWIDE, SARAH?
>> WELL I THINK YOU KNOW BETTER
THAN ANYBODY BECAUSE YOU HELPED
THE PRESIDENT CREATE THIS STRONG
ECONOMY AND THE BLUE-COLLAR BOOM
BECAUSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
BECAME THE PARTY OF OPPORTUNITY.
FOCUSING ON BETTER EDUCATION,
BETTER JOBS, HIGHER WAGES, LOWER
TAXES, SMALLER GOVERNMENT.
THOSE ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
PARTY.
CERTAINLY PUSHING
FOREOPPORTUNITY AT EVERY TURN
HAS BEEN A KEY POINT FOR THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
WE FINALLY STARTED TALKING ABOUT
IT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
DELIVERING ON IT.
THERE IS NO GREATER CONTRAST OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S VISION OF
OPPORTUNITY AND HELPING THE
BLUE-COLLAR WORKER VERSUS THE
RADICAL LEFT AND THE KEYSTONE
PIPELINE.
THE RADICAL LEFT IS ELIMINATING
JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY.
NEVER IN MY LIFETIME DID I THINK
WE WOULD HAVE AN AMERICAN
PRESIDENT IN HIS FIRST WEEK,
PARTICULARLY DURING A PANDEMIC,
IN NEED OF ECONOMIC RECOVERY
COME IN AND ACTUALLY TAKE STEPS,
ACTIVE STEPS TO ELIMINATE
AMERICAN JOBS.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FIGHTING
FOR THOSE WORKERS.
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE DOING THAT,
CONTINUE CREATING OPPORTUNITY.
AS A BIG CONTRAST FROM OUR
COUNTERPARTS ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND RADICAL LEFT.
LARRY: JUST, I ONLY GOT 20
SECONDS LEFT.
I NEED AN HOUR.
MAYBE WE’LL GET AN HOUR AT SOME
POINT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GOING TO
SPEAK AT CPAC.
YOU ARE, I AM.
WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO SAY REAL
QUICK?
>> PRESIDENT IS STILL THE MOST
INFLUENTIAL VOICE IN AMERICAN
POLITICS, CERTAINLY IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
I THINK WE’LL HEAR HIM TALK
ABOUT SOME OF THAT OPPORTUNITY,
SOME OF THAT FREEDOM, SOME OF
THE GREAT SUCCESS THAT HE
CREATED.
LARRY: YES.
>> AND FOUGHT FOR OVER THE
COURSE OF THAT FOUR YEARS THAT
NEEDS TO BE FOCUS OF REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
LARRY: YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT HIS
GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS.
SARAH, YOU ARE SPOT ON AS YOU
