THE REST, BECAUSE 67% BECAUSE
HE’S NOT DONALD TRUMP.
SO LET’S BRING IN CONGRESSMAN
KEVIN MCCARTHY, HOUSE MINORITY
LEADER HOPES ONE DAY TO BE
SPEAKER.
IF THOSE ARE THE STATS AND WE’RE
TO BELIEVE THIS POLL, WHAT CAN
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE OTHER
REPUBLICANS LEARN FROM THIS?
>> WELL WE CAN LEARN THE FIRST
THING THIS IS NOT A UNITY GROUP.
THIS IS A SURRENDERING TO THE
SOCIALIST.
IF JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN IN
WASHINGTON FOR MORE THAN 40
YEARS, AND HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO
DO ANY OF THAT FROM CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM AND OTHERS, WHY
DO WE THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID DO CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM AND DID OPEN UP
OPPORTUNITY ZONES, HE HAD TAKEN
EXECUTIVE ORDER WHEN IT COMES TO
POLICE REFORM SO THIS PRESIDENT
IS TAKING ACTION.
JOE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF DOING
NOTHING BUT NOW HE SHOWS THAT
HE’LL EVEN SURRENDER TO THE
SOCIALIST WING OF THE PARTY,
BECAUSE REMEMBER, BERNIE SANDERS
IS NOT A DEMOCRAT.
HE WAS REGISTERED AS A SOCIALIST
, RAN AS A SOCIALIST
AND THAT’S WHAT THE NEW WING OF
THE PARTY IS CRAVING.
LOOK AT THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL
MEMBERS.
OMAR, SHE WANTS TO DISMANTLE
AMERICA INSTEAD OF DUPLICATING
AMERICA AROUND THE WORLD.
THINK OF BEING BOB IN A FOREIGN
LAND IN A REF REFUGEE CAMP, IN A
FIRST GENERATION SHE BECOMES A
U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN AND SHE’S
UNHAPPY ABOUT THAT AND UNHAPPY
ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.
WHEN THIS COUNTRY ACTUALLY, THE
FREEDOM AND THE IDEAS THAT
WE ARE MORE THAN A COUNTRY
SHOULD BE DUPLICATED AND IT
INSPIRES PEOPLE IN HONG KONG,
SHIPYARD, WOULDERS IN POLITICO
LAND, THE BERLIN WALL COLLAPSES
WHERE TWO GERMANYS BECOME ONE.
THAT IS THE POWER OF THE AMERICA
THAT IS NOT SOMETHING TO
DISMANTLE BUT SOMETHING TO
DUPLICATE.
AINSLEY: NOW YOU HAVE JOE BIDEN
SAYING SOME OF THE FUNDING
SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE REDIRECTED
FROM POLICE AND THEN EVEN
FURTHER THAN THAT YOU HAVE THE
LEADER OF THE BLACK LIVES
MATTER MOVEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA
SAYING THIS.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE’RE
DEMANDING IS THE FUNDING OVER
FIVE YEARS TO THE COMPLETE ABOLI
TION, SO WE DON’T
WANT TO SEE ANY POLICE IN OUR
COMMUNITY OVER THE COURSE OF THE
FIVE YEARS AND THE FIVE
YEARS GIVES TIME FOR THE
COMMUNITY TO BEGIN TO
BUILD WHAT IS NEEDED INSTEAD OF
POLICE, AND AT THE SAME TIME,
BUILD A SORTED PRACTICES,
BUILD-OUT OUR MENTAL HEALTH
RESPONSE TEAMS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT AND BUILD MEDIC RESPONSES
AND RESPONSES THAT REALLY
ACTUALLY DEAL WITH THE ISSUES
THAT ARE IN PLACE.
THEN WE WILL HAVE LESS CRIME
ANYWAY.
AINSLEY: CONGRESSMAN WHAT IS
YOUR REACTION?
>> WELL I WANT HER TO GIVE THAT
ANSWER TO THE PARENTS OF THE
YOUNG CHILDREN WHO WERE SHOT
AND KILLED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THE IDEA THAT LESS POLICE IS
GOING TO BRING US SAFETY, NOW
WE’VE WATCHED THE DIFFERENCE OF
THAT HAPPENING.
THAT IS WHY IT IS WRONG AND THAT
IS WHY JOE BIDEN IS BUYING IN
AND SURRENDERING TO THE
SOCIALISTS.
THAT IS NOT WHAT WE NEED.
WE NEED GREATER TRAINING OF THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
MORE ACCOUNTABILITY, THE EXACT
THING THAT TIM SCOTT PUT INTO
HIS BILL BUT THE DEMOCRATS WOULD
NOT EVEN ALLOW TO COME UP AND BE
DEBATED.
THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE.
THAT’S WHY WE HAVE ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS
WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IN THIS
NOVEMBER IS NOT JUST THE
DIRECTION OF THE NEXT FOUR
YEARS.
IT’S WHETHER THIS COUNTRY
SURRENDERS OR THIS COUNTRY
BUILDS ON A MORE PERFECT UNION.
STEVE: SO SPEAKING OF DEBATES,
LEADER, I’M SURE YOU SAW THAT
TOM FRIEDMAN IN THE PAGES OF THE
NEW YORK TIMES SUGGESTED
THAT JOE BIDEN NOT LEAVE HIS
BASEMENT TO DEBATE DONALD TRUMP
UNLESS HE AGREES TO TWO THINGS.
ONE, TO RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS
FOR 2016, 2017 AND 2018 WHICH I
THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS GOING
TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
CONGRESS GETS IT LATER ON TODAY
AND THE OTHER THING IS HE SHOULD
NOT AGREE TO DEBATE UNLESS THERE
IS A LIVE FACT CHECK DURING THE
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ABOUT 10
MINUTES BEFORE THE END, SOMEBODY
IS GOING TO SAY OKAY, DONALD
TRUMP, YOU SAID THIS WRONG, AND
JOE BIDEN, YOU SAID THAT WRONG.
DO YOU THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT
IS A GOOD IDEA AND COULD IT
POSSIBLY BE FAIR?
>> IT IS ONLY DEMOCRATS THAT
ARE SO FEARFUL OF THEIR NOMINEE
THAT THEY LITERALLY WRITE, DO
NOT DEBATE, DO NOT COME OUT OF
THE BASEMENT, DO NOT TALK
BECAUSE YOU CAN’T HOLD A RALLY
BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO SHOW
UP.
YOU HAVE NO IDEAS AND WHAT YOU
STOOD FOR FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE.
THAT SHOWS THE STRENGTH.
WHAT I TRULY BELIEVE IS WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT
ABOUT REBUILDING, RENEWING AND
RESTORING AMERICA.
WE’VE WATCHED MORE THAN
7.3 MILLION JOBS CREATED IN THE
LAST COUPLE MONTHS.
WE’VE WATCHED THEM BEING ABLE TO
COME BACK A VIRUS FROM A FOREIGN
LAND THAT WE DIDN’T INVITE AND
WE’RE GOING TO DEFEAT IT
TOGETHER.
THOSE ARE THE IDEAS OF THE
VISION OF WHAT WE WANT FOR
NEXT FOUR YEARS INSTEAD OF
HIDING AND ACTUALLY PLEDGING NOT
TO COME OUT OR NOT TO TALK.
THAT’S FEARFUL OF EVEN HAVING
THE JOB OR FEARFUL OF KNOWING
WHO THIS NOMINEE IS AND WHAT
THEY STAND FOR.
BRIAN: SO WE’RE WATCHING THE
NUMBERS OF CASES SURGE IN
TEXAS, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, AND
MAINLY THOSE THREE COUNTRIES AS
WELL AS CALIFORNIA WHERE YOU
ARE.
NOW THE PRESIDENT STILL WANTS
PEOPLE TO GO BACK-TO-SCHOOL.
I THINK IT’S A GREAT IDEA TO
FIND A WAY TO GET KIDS
BACK-TO-SCHOOL.
YOU BELIEVE MORE MONEY TO
PROVIDE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY
WOULD DO IT.
IN WHAT RESPECT DO YOU THINK?
>> LOOK I WANT SCHOOLS TO OPEN
SAFELY.
FOR ALL YOU PARENTS WHO ARE
WATCHING RIGHT NOW YOU’VE NOW
BECOME A TEACHER, A COACH A
TUTOR.
I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE A
GENERATION BEHIND.
I KNOW DEMOCRATS ARE AFRAID TO
COME TO WORK TO EVEN COME TO
CONGRESS SO THEY HAVE THE SHADOW
VOTING BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO IS
PASS A BILL THAT PROVIDES AND
FOCUSES ON CHILD CARE AND THE
SCHOOLS TO OPEN SAFELY.
WE WANT TO PRIORITIZE THEM WITH
FUNDING AND SAFETY TO BE ABLE TO
DO IT AND PROTECT THEM FROM
LAWSUITS AND GIVE PARENTS
FLEXIBILITY TO USE THEIR SAVINGS
ACCOUNTS TO ACTUALLY TAX-FREE TO
BE ABLE TO PAY FOR CHILD CARE
AND BE ABLE TO OPEN THAT BACK UP
AND I WANT TO FOCUS ON OPENING
NEW CHILD CARE, BECAUSE DO YOU
KNOW WHAT?
MOST CHILD CARES ARE OWNED BY
WOMEN, MINORITIES AND OTHERS.
THEY’RE BECOMING THE HOMES AND
OTHERS BEING AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PUT AMERICA BACK ON A STAGE THAT
THEY CAN WORK, RENEW, REBUILD
AND RESTORE THIS COUNTRY, AND
IT’S FUNDAMENTAL THAT WE CANNOT
LEAVE THESE CHILDREN UNEDUCATED
AND LEAVE THEM BEHIND.
DEMOCRATS MAY BE AFRAID TO COME
TO WORK BUT I BELIEVE CONGRESS
IS ESSENTIAL AND THIS IS THE
NUMBER ONE THING WE SHOULD
PRIORITIZE OURSELVES ON MAKING
SURE OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE AND A
PLAN TO OPEN BACK UP.
AINSLEY: SO WHO GETS TO DECIDE
WHEN WE OPEN BACK UP AND WE OPEN
OUR SCHOOLS?
THE PRESIDENT AND LEADERS IN
WASHINGTON HAVE COME UP WITH
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS BUT THEN
GOVERNOR CUOMO IN NEW YORK HAS
SAID NO ONE GETS TO TELL ME.
I’M THE GOVERNOR.
DOES HE DECIDE OR IS IT LOCAL
SCHOOL BOARDS OR MAYORS?
>> WELL INSTEAD OF FIGHTING
WITH ONE ANOTHER, WHY DON’T WE
SIT DOWN AND GET THE VERY BEST
INFORMATION.
GET THE LATEST INFORMATION WHEN
IT COMES TO COVID.
LET’S PLAN ON OUR ABILITY FOR
THE SAFETY SO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE RESOURCES
, FOCUSING ON EDUCATION
, FOCUSING ON CHILD
CARE.
WORKING WITH THESE GOVERNORS SO
HOW CAN WE DO THIS SAFELY?
THERE MAY BE POCKETS THAT YOU
CAN’T BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF
POCKETS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY THAT
CAN.
STEVE: SURE AND LEADER MCCARTHY
WE HEARD THE PRESIDENT A COUPLE
OF DAYS AGO TALKING ABOUT HOW IT
APPEARED THERE WAS SOME WHO
DIDN’T WANT TO OPEN THE SCHOOLS
AND HE FELT LIKE IT WOULD DAMAGE
HIM, AND THE IDEA WAS FOR THESE
DEMOCRATS TO DAMAGE HIM
POLITICALLY, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN
NOT REOPEN THE SCHOOLS, PEOPLE
CAN’T GO BACK TO WORK, AND THE
ECONOMY DOES NOT TAKE OFF.
YOU DON’T WIND UP WITH THAT
SUPER V-SHAPED RECOVERY AS HAS
BEEN SUGGESTED.
YESTERDAY I BELIEVE THE
PRESIDENT IN A TWEET
SUGGESTED THAT UNLESS CERTAIN
GOVERNORS OPEN UP THE STATE FOR
SCHOOL, HE’S THINKING ABOUT
WITHHOLDING FUNDING TO THOSE
STATES.
IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?
>> WELL I THINK OUR FIRST
PRIORITY IS THE SAFETY OF THE
CHILDREN AND ALSO THE
EDUCATION OF THE CHILDREN,
AND WE CAN HANDLE THOSE TWO
THINGS, SO THOSE GOVERNORS THAT
DON’T WANT TO OPEN WHAT IS THEIR
PLAN TO OPEN?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO PREPARE
TO OPEN?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO PREPARE
THE SCHOOLS OR HAVE GREATER
CHILD CARE SO PEOPLE CAN GET THE
ECONOMY WORKING AGAIN,
BUT MAKE SURE THESE CHILDREN DO
NOT HAVE A GENERATION THAT
THEY’RE LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE THEY
ARE NOT EDUCATED.
THAT SHOULD BE OUR PRIORITY, BUT
MANY TIMES I FIND WITH THESE
DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS, IT ALMOST
SEEMS TO BE POLITICAL, BUT WHAT
THEY ARE MAKING DECISIONS UPON.
LET’S DECIDE THIS ON SAFETY, ON
SCIENCE, AND THE EDUCATION OF
OUR OWN CHILDREN.
BRIAN: WOULDN’T THAT BE IT.
