>> WE NEED OUR CONGRESSMAN
SACCONE, WE HAVE TO HAVE IT.
THIS IS A VERY EXTRAORDINARY
GUY.
WE NEED HIM.
WE NEED REPUBLICANS.
WE NEED THE VOTE.
BRIAN: THAT WAS PRESIDENT ON
SATURDAY.
HIS SON WAS THERE YESTERDAY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP STUMPING FOR
REPUBLICAN HOUSE CANDIDATE
RICK SACCONE TO TAKE TIM
MURPHY'S SEATS AHEAD OF
TODAY'S SPECIAL ELECTION IN
PENNSYLVANIA'S 18TH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AS
NOW WILL BE DESOLVED IN A
FEW MONTHS.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE REP WHO
WANTS TO BE THE G.O.P.
CONGRESSMAN FROM HIS
DISTRICT IN PENNSYLVANIA
RICK SACCONE.
RICK, SO FAR THE POLLS HAVE
YOU CONSISTENTLY TRAILING
BUT VERY CLOSE BUT, YET, YOU
TOLD ME IN THE BREAK YOU
FEEL VERY OPTIMISTIC.
WHY?
>> WELL, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
THE UNDERDOG IN EVERY RACE I
HAVE EVER RAN.
THIS IS MY FIFTH ELECTION.
SO I RELISH BEING THE
UNDERDOG.
THAT'S GOOD.
I THINK THE METHODOLOGY OF
THOSE POLLS, I DON'T PAY
MUCH ATTENTION TO AND OFTEN
CALCULATED ON PREVIOUS
SPECIAL ELECTION TURNOUT.
WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR
PEOPLE OUT TODAY.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
GETTING OUT THE VOTE.
AND WE HAVE A GREAT GROUND
GAME.
AND WE ARE WORKING ON THAT.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL IN
THE LORD'S HANDS.
HE HAS GOT TO GET PEOPLE,
MOVE THEIR HEARTS TO GET OUT
AND VOTE TODAY.
WAKE UP AND GO VOTE, PEOPLE.
BRIAN: WHY DO YOU THINK A
DISTRICT UNAPPOSED LAST TIME
IS SUCH A STRUGGLE THIS
TIME.
>> IT'S AN OPEN SEAT.
AS YOU STUDY POLITICS AND
I'M A POLITICAL SCIENTIST.
THERE IS A LOT MORE
INTEREST.
A LOT OF NATIONAL INTEREST.
WHENEVER IT'S AN OPEN SEAT,
IT'S HARD TO BEAT AN
INCUMBENT.
IT'S NATURAL THAT THE DEMS
WOULD TRY TO POUR EVERYTHING
INTO IT TO TRY TO TAKE THE
SEAT.
BRIAN: WHAT WAS IT LIKE OVER
THE WEEKEND WITH THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES WITH 4,000 PERSON
RALLY?
WHAT WAS YOUR INTERACTION
LIKE.
>> IT WAS LIKE 6 OR 7,000
PEOPLE.
THEY HAD TO TURN PEOPLE
AWAY.
IT WAS AMAZING.
IT WAS ELECTRIC IN THERE.
IF YOU HAVEN'T WITHIN TO A
RALLY IT'S NOT LIKE WATCHING
IT ON TELEVISION.
ELECTRICITY THERE.
THE PRESIDENT IS A GREAT
SPEAKER.
HE WORKS THE AUDIENCE.
HE COMANSDZ THE AUDIENCE.
EVERYBODY LEAVES THERE WITH
A SMILE ON THEIR FACE.
GREAT MAN.
I HAVE ULTIMATE RESPECT FOR
HIM.
BRIAN: HAVE YOU OPPONENT
THAT'S A RARITY.
HE SEEMS TO BE MODERATE
DEMOCRAT.
SOUNDS ALMOST LIKE A
33-YEAR-OLD FORMER
PROSECUTOR, MARINE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE HE
IS RUNNING LIKE A
REPUBLICAN.
HE WILL BE A MODERATE.
I CAN HANDLE THAT?
>> WELL, HE IS TRYING TO
LOOK LIKE A MODERATE
DEMOCRAT.
LOOK LIKE A REPUBLICAN.
WE KNOW HE IS NOT.
WE HAVE OUTED HIM ON SEVERAL
ISSUES LIKE GUNS AND
ABORTION.
HE TRIED TO RUN LIKE HE WAS
PRO-LIFE.
WE OUTED HIM AND WE KNOW HE
IS PRO-CHOICE.
SO, WE KNOW THAT HE WILL
VOTE.
IF HE WERE TO GET THERE,
THAT HE WOULD VOTE WITH THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
100 PERCENT.
AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT IF
WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT THE
TRUMP AGENDA WE HAVE TO
STICK WITH THE PRESIDENT.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BEEN FOR
THAT AGENDA.
I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR IT
AND HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE
DOING SO.
I'M READY TO ROLL UP MY
SLEEVES AND HELP PUSH THAT
AGENDA ACROSS THE GOAL LINE.
BRIAN: HILLARY WAS SPEAKING
IN INCORPORATED I CAN'T
ABOUT AMERICA BASICALLY
PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR DONALD
TRUMP ARE PEOPLE THAT DON'T
LIKE BLACK PEOPLE GETTING
RIGHTS.
THEY DON'T LIKE WOMEN
GETTING JOBS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT
INDIAN AMERICAN SUCCEEDING.
THAT'S WHAT A REPUBLICAN
VOTER WHO VOTED FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP PROFILES.
DO YOU SEE IT THAT WAY?
>> WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE
WHAT HILLARY CLINTON SAYS AT
THIS POINT?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THEY
WOULD INTERVIEW HER.
THAT'S JUST SUCH NONSENSE.
WHAT COULD BE SAID BEYOND
THAT?
BRIAN: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
TARIFFS?
MAINLY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
UPSET THE PRESIDENT PUTTING
TARIFFS ON ALUMINUM AND
STEEL?
WHAT DOES RICK SACCONE SAY.
>> I'M COMING TO YOU FROM
THE STEEL CITY.
THOSE TARIFFS ARE POPULAR
WE WANT TO PROTECT OUR STEEL
INDUSTRY.
I ALWAYS HAVE PROTECTED THE
STEEL INDUSTRY.
WE WANT TO PROTECT OUR
STEELWORKS.
THEY CAN COMPETE ANYWHERE IN
THE WORLD ON A LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD.
THAT FIELD HAS BEEN SLANTED
AND THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO
BRING BALANCE BACK TO
PLAYING FIELD.
BRIAN: RICK SACCONE SHOT OUT
