>> Ed: LAM THE SHAM, THAT'S
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLS THE
YOUNG DEMOCRAT TRYING TO CAUSE A
POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
IF HE WINS SPECIAL ELECTION FOR
THE HOUSE TO EAT, MANY WILL SAY
IT'S A DIRECT REPUDIATION FOR
THE PRESIDENT AS MUCH AS A LOSS
FOR OUR NEXT GUEST TRYING TO
HOLD ON TO WHAT HAS BEEN A
G.O.P. STRONGHOLD IN WESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA.
JOINING US NOW IS RICK SACCONE.
HE'S A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
ESTHER SACCONE, WE APPRECIATE
YOU JOINING US TONIGHT, BUT I
ALSO WANT TO JUMP RIGHT IN HERE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN THE
DISTRICT OVER THE WEEKEND.
HAD A ROUSING RALLY, IF YOU
WILL.
HE CARRIED THIS DISTRICT BY
ABOUT 20 POINTS.
PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE, IN THAT
DISTRICT THAT ARE SEEING BIGGER
PAYCHECKS BECAUSE OF THE TAX
CUT.
THIS TARIFF NOW THAT HE'S
PUSHING FOR ALUMINUM AND STEEL
IT MAY ACTUALLY BRING JOBS BACK
TO THE DISTRICT.
I HAVE TO ASK YOU, WHY DO THE
POLLS SUGGEST YOU ARE LOSING?
>> THE POLLS -- THIS IS AN OPEN
SEAT AND YOU COULD EXPECT TO
HAVE NATIONAL LEVEL INTEREST.
YOU CAN EXPECT THINGS TO TIGHTEN
UP.
THEY HAVEN'T HAD A SEAT LIKE
THIS OPEN IN THE LAST 16 YEARS I
THINK IN THIS DISTRICT.
IT'S NATURAL AS A POLITICAL
SCIENTIST YOU WOULD NATURALLY
ASSUME THAT THERE WILL BE A LOT
OF INTEREST AND A LOT OF MONEY
WILL POUR IN AND IT WILL CAUSE
THE RACE TO BE TIGHT.
>> Ed: THE FIGHT IS ON FOR
THOSE UNION VOTERS WHO WENT
TRUMP IN 2016, HELP THEM WIN
BATTLEGROUND PENNSYLVANIA AND
SOME OF THEM NOW SEEM TO BE
TILTING TOWARD THE DEMOCRAT,
CONOR LAMB.
I WANT TO ASK YOU AMONG OTHER
THINGS, HE'S ATTACKING YOU,
CONOR LAMB, BY SAYING YOU DON'T
SUPPORT PENSION RIGHTS, YOU ARE
NOT DOING ENOUGH FOR PENSIONS.
THIS IS A BIG ISSUE FOR WORKERS
IN THE DISTRICT.
>> IF THAT'S THE UNION
LEADERSHIP MISINFORMATION,
ESPECIALLY AMONG THE COAL MINERS
UNION.
I DO SUPPORT TRYING TO SAVE THAT
PENSION.
THERE'S A BILL CLOGGED UP IN
CONGRESS AND I'VE ALWAYS
SUPPORTED TRYING TO MOVE THAT
THROUGH.
UNION LEADERSHIP HAS PUT OUT
THAT MISINFORMATION OVER AND
OVER.
REMEMBER THIS IS THE SAME UNION
LEADERSHIP THAT SUPPORTED
PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHO WAS TRYING
TO KILL THE COAL MINERS, THE
COAL INDUSTRY AND SUPPORTED
HILLARY CLINTON, WHO DEFINITELY
WANTED TO KILL THE COAL
INDUSTRY.
NOW THEY SUPPORT MY POINT.
I JUST TELL THE RANK-AND-FILE
MEMBERS ONCE AGAIN, COME OUT FOR
ME.
I'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED YOU, I'VE
ALWAYS BEEN WITH YOU.
>> Ed: YOU MENTIONED
HILLARY CLINTON.
SHE GAVE A SPEECH IN THE LAST
FEW DAYS THAT SHE SET VOTERS IN
THE HEARTLAND, VOTERS IN THE
BATTLEGROUND STATE LIKE
PENNSYLVANIA WENT WITH
DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE I WENT WITH
PLACE THEY WERE OPTIMISTIC,
DIVERSE, DYNAMIC AND MOVING
FORWARD, WHEREAS MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN, SHE SAYS, WAS
LOOKING BACKWARDS.
SHE WENT ON TO SAY THAT VOTERS
IN THE HEARTLAND WHO WENT TRUMP
DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE GETTING
RIGHTS AND DON'T LIKE WOMEN
GETTING JOBS.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
>> WHO WOULD CARE WHAT HILLARY
CLINTON'S HAS AT THIS POINT?
IS THERE ANY CREDIBILITY THERE
AT ALL?
OF COURSE THAT'S A BUNCH OF
NONSENSE AND WE HAVE A VERY
DIVERSE DISTRICT FROM WORLD TO
SUPERMEN AND ALL KINDS OF MAKEUP
SUPERMEN AND ALL KINDS OF MAKEU
MAKEUP.
WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM EVERY
DEMOGRAPHIC SUPPORTING US AND WE
ARE CONCENTRATED ON GETTING THEM
OUT TO VOTE AND WINNING THIS
RACE TOMORROW.
>> Ed: LAST QUESTION, I PUT
OUT ON TWITTER I WAS GOING TO BE
INTERVIEWING YOU AND A LOT OF
REPUBLICAN VOTERS ARE NERVOUS
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN
CARRY THIS DISTRICT, WHICH IS,
AS YOU SAID, TRADITIONALLY
REPUBLICAN.
MY LAST QUESTION IS, IN THE LAST
24 HOURS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
DO TO FIRE UP THAT TRUMP ODOR
FROM 2016 TO TURN OUT FOR YOU
WHEN THESE LAST 24 HOURS?
>> JUST FINISHED A RALLY WITH
DONALD TRUMP JR.
THAT ENTHUSIASM WAS VERY HIGH.
COMING OFF THE RALLY WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
ENTHUSIASM ACROSS THE DISTRICT
IS GREAT.
EVERYWHERE I GO, I WAS JUST AT A
RESTAURANT AND PEOPLE WERE
COMING UP TO ME, IT WAS LIKE A
MOB SCENE WANTING TO TAKE
PICTURES AND THEY ARE ALL GOING
OUT TO VOTE TOMORROW.
I STOPPED AT A LOCAL STORE IN
THE SAME KIND OF THING HAPPEN.
A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM ON OUR SIDE.
VOTE AND WE ARE GOING TO BRING
THIS HOME.
>> Ed: WE APPRECIATE YOU
JOINING US TONIGHT.
GOOD LUCK IN THE DAYS AHEAD.
WE ARE GOING TO SAY THE SAME TO
THE DEMOCRATS AS THEY FIGHT IT
