>> EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO. I WANT TO GET IN TO ECONOMICS
AND JOBS WITH YOU.
IN A MINUTE WE HAVE STUFF LIKE
THAT.
THAT. WE START WITH THE POLITICS AND
YOU SEE THE POLLS NOT ONLY
SHOWING DEMOCRATS UP, BUT COOK,
WHICH IS NONPARTISAN, SHOW HIM
UP BY A LOT.
TAKING OVER 30 SEATS WHICH WOULD
BE A CLEAN SWEEP OF THE HOUSE.
WHAT’S YOUR VIEW TONIGHT?
>> I’M WARNING AGAINST IT NOW.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE POLLS OR
THE PUNDITS.
THE PUNDITS. IT WAS WRONG BEFORE.
PEOPLE IN THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE
ELECTION IN 2016, DEMOCRATS WERE
ALL EXCITED AND EVERYBODY WAS
FEELING LIKE IT WAS IN THE BAG
AND EVEN THE "NEW YORK TIMES" ON
THE DAY OF THE ELECTION SAID
THERE WAS ONLY A 15% CHANCE OF
TRUMP WINNING THAT DAY.
DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO
THIS.
THIS. DO NOT LISTEN TO NANCY PELOSI
WHEN SHE GOES ON STEPHEN COLBERT
AND SAID WE HAVE VICTORY IN OUR
SIGHTS.
SIGHTS. NO, WE DON’T.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE TRUMP SERIOUSLY
AS MUCH AS YOU THINK HE IS COO
COO FOR COCOA PUFFS.
THIS GUY HAS BEATEN US.
HE WON THE WHITE HOUSE BY LOSING
THE ELECTION.
THE ELECTION. THAT TAKES SOME SORT OF EVIL
GENIUS TO PULL THAT OFF.
IF YOU SELL HIM SHORT NOW IN
THESE LAST FEW DAYS, IF YOU
DON’T THINK THEY DON’T HAVE
SOMETHING UP THEIR SLEEVE OR
THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE WORKING
THEIR TAILS OFF, THEY ARE.
THEY ARE COUNTING ON US NOT
DOING THAT.
DOING THAT. EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF THE LAST
72 HOURS, EVERYBODY HAS TO BE
OFF THE BENCH.
EVERYBODY HAS TO BE DOING
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO THE
LAST WEEKEND.ORG.
LAST WEEKEND.ORG. FIND OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN
YOUR AREA.
YOUR AREA. HOW CAN YOU DO THINGS TONIGHT,
TOMORROW, MONDAY.
TOMORROW, MONDAY. EVERYBODY HAS TO GET INVOLVED.
THEY ARE SO COUNTING ON LIBERALS
TO DO WHAT LIBERALS DO AND THIS
IS HOW WE LOSE SO MANY TIMES
WHEN IN FACT, WE REPRESENT THE
MAJORITY OF PUBLIC OPINION.
LET ME SAY THIS ONE STATISTIC.
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE WON THE
POPULAR VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENCY
ONLY ONCE IN THE LAST 30 YEARS.
THAT’S HOW MUCH THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE DON’T WANT THE
REPUBLICANS.
REPUBLICANS. ONLY ONCE SINCE DADDY BUSH DID
THEY WIN THE POPULAR VOTE.
>> YOUR POINT GOES TO WHAT WE
ARE SEEING IN GEORGIA AND OTHER
PLACES WHICH IS HOW DO THEY GET
INTO OFFICE.
INTO OFFICE. HOW DO REPUBLICANS GET INTO
OFFICE WHILE LOSING THE POPULAR
VOTE.
VOTE. IT’S BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT
THE PLAYING FIELD IS NOT ALWAYS
LEVEL.
LEVEL. THAT’S LEFT OVER CONSTITUTIONAL
STUFF AND WHAT’S ACTIVE LEAVE
GOING ON.
GOING ON. YOUR FILMMAKING AND ACTIVISM
PUTS YOU IN TOUCH WITH A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. IT’S INTERESTING HEARING YOUR
WARNING SHOWING THE DEMS UP.
WE POLED IT -- I WILL SHOW YOU
ONE THING.
ONE THING. WE POLED IT AND IF THERE WAS
EVER A WEEKEND TO PLAY IT, YOUR
WARPING IN THE SUMMER OF 2016
WHEN WIDELY, I DON’T MEAN JUST
THE MEDIA OR DEMOCRATS WHO WANT
TO SEE IT A CERTAIN WAY, BUT
REPUBLICANS WOULD TALK TO US OFF
THE RECORD.
THE RECORD. ALL UNIFORMLY SAY VERY UNLIKELY
THAT TRUMP WOULD ACTUALLY WIN.
HERE’S WHAT YOU SAID THEN.
>> I’M SORRY TO HAVE TO KIND OF
BE THE BUZZ KILL HERE EARLY ON,
BUT I THINK TRUMP IS GOING TO
WIN.
WIN. MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, OHIO AND
PENNSYLVANIA.
PENNSYLVANIA. MITT ROMNEY LOST BY 64 ELECTORAL
VOTES.
VOTES. THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS 64.
ALL HE HAS TO DO IS WIN THOSE
FOUR STATES.
FOUR STATES. >> WHAT ARE LED YOU TO THINK
THAT AND HOW DOES IT APPLY
TODAY.
TODAY. HASN’T EVERYONE BEEN PUT MORE ON
NOTICE ABOUT TRUMP AND ABOUT
BEING CIVICALLY INVOLVED?
>> I LIVE THERE, FIRST OF ALL.
I’M FROM MICHIGAN AND I VOTE IN
MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN. I PAY ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE
AROUND ME AND I SAW IT
HAPPENING.
HAPPENING. I COULDN’T GET THE PEOPLE IN THE
BUBBLE, DEMOCRATS LIVING IN THE
BUBBLE IN NEW YORK OR THE WEST
COAST TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE
MIDWEST, BLUE STATES WERE GOING
TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVED HIM, BUT
BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN SO
DEPRESSED ECONOMICALLY THEY SAW
TRUMP AS THEIR MOLOTOV COCKTAIL
TO THROW INTO A SYSTEM TO BLOW
UP THE SYSTEM.
THEY COULD DO IT NONVIOLENTLY BY
GOING TO THE POLLS AND VOTING
FOR TRUMP.
FOR TRUMP. NOW WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE
PEOPLE HAD 21 MONTHS OF TRUMP.
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT’S SO
DANGEROUS TONIGHT.
DANGEROUS TONIGHT. ANYBODY JUST SITTING BACK GOING
IT’S LOOKING GOOD.
WE ARE GOING TO GET THE HOUSE AT
LEAST.
LEAST. NO, NO.
NO, NO. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
THE REPUBLICANS, STEVE BANNON,
DONALD TRUMP, THEY PLAN ON
WINNING THE HOUSE ON TUESDAY BY
ONE SEAT.
ONE SEAT. MAYBE TWO.
MAYBE TWO. THAT’S THEIR PLAN.
THEY HAVE PULLED IT OFF.
NOT ONLY DID THEY PULL OFF THE
2016 ELECTION, BUT THEY IT WILL
PULLED OFF BRETT KAVANAUGH AND
THE TAX CUT FOR THE RICH.
THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT WHAT THEY
DO AND YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM
SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY. NOBODY, ANYBODY WHO IS THINKING
RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE GOT IT IN THE
BAG, YOU ARE HELPING TO
CONTRIBUTE TO OUR DEFEAT.
CAN I SAY ONE THING ABOUT THE
POLLS?
POLLS? >> I WANT TO GET YOU ON TRUMP
ECONOMICS AND NOT LOSE ALL OF
OUR TIME.
OUR TIME. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY. >> YOU ARE A DIRECTOR.
YOU KNOW HOW TIME WORKS.
>> YOU ARE THE DIRECTOR OF THIS
SHOW AND I AM YOUR SERVANT.
PLEASE PROCEED.
PLEASE PROCEED. >> LET ME PLAY FOR YOU DONALD
TRUMP TALKING ABOUT HOW HIS
ECONOMIC PLAN WAS GOING TO WORK
AND HIM GETTING PUSHED ABOUT
DEBT.
DEBT. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST VOTE
SINCE TRUMP ECONOMICS HAS BEEN
FORCED INTO THE TAX CUT AND A
GROWING DEFICIT.
GROWING DEFICIT. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
>> WE ARE GOING TO CREATE A
DYNAMIC ECONOMY AGAIN.
WE WILL BRING THE JOBS BACK FROM
CHINA AND MEXICO AND JAPAN AND
VIETNAM.
VIETNAM. >> YOU STILL OWE THE MONEY.
YOU BRING IT BACK, SO HOW ARE
YOU GOING TO GET THE DEBT DOWN?
>> BECAUSE THE COUNTRY IS GOING
TO START GROWING.
>> EVEN IF YOU GIN THE ECONOMY
UP, HOW DOES THAT PAY DOWN THE
DEBT?
DEBT? YOU HAVE TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE
CORPORATIONS AND PEOPLE TO DO
IT.
IT. >> IT WILL WOCHL, BILL.
>> SO THE DEBT IS STILL ON THE
BOOKS.
BOOKS. >> THE EXCHANGE IS STILL
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. VOTERS KNOW GOING INTO TUESDAY
IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE
CLAIMED.
CLAIMED. OBAMA HAD A DEFICIT THAT WAS
DECREASING DOWN TO $587 BILLION
WITH ALL THE GROWTH PLAN.
ALREADY DONALD TRUMP EXPLODING
IT TO $782 BILLION.
DO VOTERS IN THE PLACES THAW ARE
TALK
TALK TALKING TO, DO THEY KNOW THAT
MATTERS AND DOES THE DEFICIT
HURT OR HELP DONALD TRUMP AND
THE REPUBLICANS TUESDAY?
>> HE’S LEARNED THAT THE MORE
OFTEN HE TELLS THE LIE, THE MORE
BELIEVABLE IT BECOMES.
I THINK -- I DON’T THINK MOST
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT.
NOT MUCH TIME IS SPENT ON
TELEVISION TALKING ECONOMICS.
IT’S BORING TELEVISION.
I THINK THERE IS A LACK OF
UNDERSTANDING OF THIS, BUT AS
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID YESTERDAY,
HIS LAST 21 MONTHS THERE WAS
MUCH MORE JOB GROWTH THAN IN THE
20 MONTHS HEREOF PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
TRUMP. I THINK, LOOK.
YOU CAN KEEP SAYING THAT THE
ECONOMY IS DOING GREAT.
THAT MEANS WALL STREET IS DOING
GREAT.
GREAT. THE PEOPLE THAT GOT THE TAX CUT
ARE DOING GREAT AND WE ARE GOING
TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
IF YOU CUT BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN TAXES, YOU HAVE TO
MAKE IT UP SOMEWHERE.
YOU HAVE TO CUT BILLIONS AND
BILLIONS WORTH OF SERVICES.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO CUT IT
FROM?
FROM? YOU KNOW WHERE HE WILL TAKE IT
OUT OF.
OUT OF. IT’S COMING OUT OF HEALTH CARE
AND MEDICARE AND SOCIAL
SECURITY.
SECURITY. THAT’S THE GAME THEY ARE
PLAYING.
PLAYING. EVERYBODY BETTER BE AWARE OF IT.
IF YOU DON’T THINK THEY ARE
GOING TO DO IT, YOU ARE SAYING
THERE IS NO WAY AN IDIOT CAN WIN
THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES. THEY ARE NOT IDIOTS.
THEY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS AND
THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT AND
COUNTING ON US TO NOT BE THERE.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE POLLS.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES" HAS GOTTEN
SO GOOD AT DESCRIBING THE
POLLING METHODS.
POLLING METHODS. I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT.
IN THE POLL ON THE TEXAS SENATE
RACE BETWEEN O’ROURKE AND CRUZ,
THEY CONTACTED 51,000 TEXANS.
ONLY 800 WOULD RESPOND TO THEM.
THEY CONTACTED 780018 TO 18 TO
29-YEAR-OLDS, ONLY 66 OF THOSE
VOTERS RESPONDED.
VOTERS RESPONDED. EVEN THEY WILL ADMIT, DON’T
TRUST THIS.
TRUST THIS. WE DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT’S
GOING TO HAPPEN.
THE REPUBLICANS CAN HANG ON TO
THE HOUSE AND GET MORE SEATS IN
THE SENATE.
THE SENATE. THAT’S EXTREMELY LIKELY.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU, MICHAEL.
WE HAVE A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE
WITH EXPERIENCE HERE.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING TO
HAPPEN TUESDAY AND NO IDEA
WHETHER THE LOCAL POLLS ARE
GOING TO BE OVER OR UNDERREPORT
UNDERREPORTING.
UNDERREPORTING. THEY ARE LEANING DEMOCRAT, BUT
YOU MAKE AN IMPORTANT POINT.
YOU ARE A STORY TELLER AND YOU
TELL STORIES.
TELL STORIES. WE MENTIONED YOUR OSCAR THAT
HAVE CHANGED THE WAY PEOPLE
THINK ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR.
ABOUT HEALTH CARE IN THIS
COUNTRY WITH SICKO AND ABOUT
GUNS.
GUNS. OBAMACARE IS ONE PIECE OF THE
HEALTH CARE STORY.
I WONDER WHAT YOU THINK ACCOUNTS
FOR THE HUGE SHIFT AND YOU HAVE
BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS.
THERE WAS A TIME WHERE IT WAS
CONTROVERSIAL WHEN DEMOCRATS
WERE RUNNING FROM IT AND THERE
WAS A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT IT.
HERE WE ARE GOING INTO THESE
MID-TERMS AND WE SEE REPUBLICANS
RUNNING ON PARTS OF OBAMACARE,
PRETENDING THEY DIDN’T VOTE TO
REPEAL IT.
REPEAL IT. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT CHANGES
AND HOW IS THAT IMPORTANT GOING
INTO TUESDAY?
INTO TUESDAY? >> IT CHANGED IN PART BECAUSE
SINCE PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS
ELECTED IN 2008, THERE HAD BEEN
38 MILLION YOUNG PEOPLE THAT
TURNED 18 IN THESE 10 YEARS.
38 MILLION YOUNG VOTERS WHO ONCE
OBAMACARE PASSED IN 2010 SAW
THEY WERE GOING TO BE PROTECTED
AND THEY COULD STAY ON THEIR
PARENTS’S HEALTH CARE PLAN UNTIL
THEY WERE 26.
THIS HAS BECOME SO MUCH A PART
OF OUR FABRIC NOW, OF
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS AND
STAYING ON UNTIL YOU ARE 26 AND
ALL THE THINGS.
THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT
NEED TO BE FIXED ABOUT
OBAMACARE.
OBAMACARE. WE NEED TO TAKE THE PRIVATE
INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE
CONTROL OF OUR HEALTH CARE
PROGRAMS IN THIS COUNTRY.
I THINK IT’S BECAUSE WE HAVE A
LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE GOING TO
VOTE.
VOTE. EVEN YOUR OWN REPORTING HAS
SHOWN IN EARLY VOTING IN TEXAS,
OVER 400% DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
YOUNG VOTERS IN 2014 AND YOUNG
VOTERS WHO HAVE EARLY VOTED IN
2018.
2018. 700% IN TENNESSEE.
18 TO 29-YEAR-OLDS.
INCREASE OVER 2014.
>> IT’S WILD.
>> YES, THINGS LOOK GOOD AND
SEEM GOOD AND WE HAVE BEEN HERE
BEFORE WHEN IT SEEMED GOOD AND
YOU WILL WAKE UP WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH THE BIGGEST
POLITICAL HANGOVER IF WE DON’T.
EVERYBODY HAS TO WORK.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT KANYE WEST
SAID.
SAID. WE DRINK TO GET THE PAIN OVER,
BUT WHAT’S WORSE.
>> PUT ME BACK IN THE BEDROOM.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL LET YOU
HAVE IT.
HAVE IT. MINE IS REAL, BUT YOURS IS
IMAGINED.
IMAGINED. I WILL LET YOU HAVE IT.
>> I THINK SOMEHOW SHE WON THE
DAY AND --
>> SHE’S MORE BLUE AND HE’S MORE
RED AND HE IS SAYING HIS
POLITICS WERE MISINTERPRETED,
WHATEVER THAT MEANT.
>> HEY, YOU KNOW, REDEMPTION.
WE MUST BELIEVE IN IT.
HOLD YOUR HANDS OUT TO THE
PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS WHO MIGHT HAVE VOTED FOR
TRUMP.
TRUMP. THERE IS EIGHT MILLION OBAMA
VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP IN
2016.
2016. WE CAN BRING SOME BACK ON
TUESDAY.
TUESDAY. I THINK THEY HAD THEIR FILL OF
HIM.
HIM. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT ESPECIALLY
WHERE I LIVE AND LOOK AT THESE
TWO.
TWO. MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, OHIO,
PENNSYLVANIA.
PENNSYLVANIA. EACH OF THESE STATES COULD GO
BLUE ON TUESDAY.
EACH OF THE GOVERNORS COULD BE A
DEMOCRAT.
DEMOCRAT. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE
HAD THAT.
HAD THAT. IT’S VERY LIKELY IT COULD
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. I FEEL IT.
I FEEL IT IN THE MIDWEST.
THE MIDWEST FOR THE MID-TERMS.
>> THERE IS A LOT ON THE LINE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MAKING
