TEXAS, ALONG WITH AN AMAZING --
LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE AWESOME.
THEY ARE AWESOME.
BUT FIRST, SI SE PUEDE, THAT IS
THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT’S ANGLE.
OBAMA THOUGHT DEMOCRATS HAD THE
MARKET CORNERED ON HISPANIC
VOTERS.
>> SI SE PUEDE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Laura: LIBERALS THINK SO
LITTLE OF LATINOS THAT THEY
THINK THEY CAN WIN THEIR VOTE BY
BLATANT HISPANDERING.
>> IT IS GREAT TO BE WITH ALL OF
YOU.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> President Biden: I HAVE ONE
THING TO SAY.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
>> MY SISTER-IN-LAW, SHE IS
LATINO AND HER FAMILY, I LOVE
HANGING OUT WITH THEM AND SEEING
MY ESPANOL ON THE.
>> THE DIVERSITY OF THIS
COMMUNITY, THE BREAKFAST TACOS
HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Laura: BOTH PARTIES HAVE
GOTTEN A LOT WRONG OVER THE
YEARS ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.
IT IS VERY DIVERSE LATINO
COMMUNITY.
THE OLD 2016’S CONSENSUS ABOUT
WHAT THAT GOP HAD TO DO TO
ATTRACT HISPANIC VOTERS?
>> NO ONE KNOWS OTHER THAN IT IS
HARD LIKE WHICH TURNS OF
HISPANIC VOTERS.
>> HISPANICS HAVE BEEN TRENDING
REPUBLICAN FOR YEARS.
WHAT HAS TURNED THEM AROUND HAS
BEEN THIS HARD-LINE IMMIGRATION.
>> EVEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION
SINCE A POWERFUL SIGNAL, THEY
ARE DOING HIGH-FIVES IN THE
CLINTON CAMPAIGN WHEN THEY HEAR
THIS.
>> Laura: HE WAS TALKING ABOUT
BUILDING A WALL.
WE ALL KNOW ALL OF THIS WAS
FALSE.
ALL JOE BIDEN WON THE HISPANIC
VOTE BY 21 POINTS, THAT WAS DOWN
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM HILLARY’S
38-POINT ADVANTAGE.
MEANWHILE, TRUMP’S SURGE BROADLY
AMONG HISPANICS.
ABOUT 10 POINTS FROM 2016 TO
2020.
ITWHAT REPUBLICANS NEEDED WAS A
GOP THAT WOULD FIGHT FOR THE
WORKING PEOPLE, BE TOUGH ON
CRIME, END UNNECESSARY AND
FRANKLY STUPID WARS AND STAND UP
FOR CONSERVATIVE VALUES BUT IF
YOU DID NOT KNOW JUST HOW
IMPORTANT HISPANIC AMERICANS ARE
IN OUR LIFE AND OUR POLITICS,
CONSIDER THIS.
IN 2022 NEARLY 35 MILLION
LATINOS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE
OR 14% OF THE NATION’S ELIGIBLE
VOTERS.
IN RECENT ELECTIONS IN ARIZONA,
THEY REPRESENT ONE IN FOUR OF
ALL VOTERS.
IN NEVADA, ONE IN FIVE.
IN FLORIDA, ONE IN FIVE.
HERE IN TEXAS, THREE INTENT.
ALTHOUGH HISPANICS STILL PREFER
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, LET’S FACE
IT, UP BY ABOUT 22 TO ONE MARGIN
MARGIN, THAT MARGIN HAS BEEN
SLOWLY INSTANTLY TRICKING.
NOW DEMOCRAT CONSULTANTS, WELL,
THEY ARE FINALLY WORRYING.
77% OF LATINO REGISTERED VOTERS
ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE WAY
THINGS ARE GOING IN THE COUNTRY.
54% DISAPPROVE OF BIDEN’S JOB
PERFORMANCE.
80% SAY THE ECONOMY IS A VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR THEM.
AND THE OTHER TOP ISSUES INCLUDE
HEALTHCARE, 71% AND VIOLENT
CRIME AND EDUCATION BOTH AT 70%.
SO NO WONDER HISPANICS IN
FLORIDA, THE VERY LARGE
CUBAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY THERE,
ARE FLOCKING TO SUPPORT THE
REELECTION OF GOVERNOR RON
DeSANTIS.
HE HAS SEVEN-POINT ADVANTAGE A
MONTH LATINO GROUP OVER CHARLIE
CRIST AND MORE HISPANICS
SUPPORTED HIS MARTHA’S VINEYARD
FLIGHTS AND OPPOSED HIS MARTHA’S
VINEYARD HYDRANT FLIGHTS.
WE ARE SEEING THE SAME DYNAMIC
PLAY OUT HERE IN TEXAS.
WITH REPUBLICANS GAINING ON
HISPANICS IN KEY PARTS OF THE
STATE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE BORDER
COUNTIES IN THEIR RIGHTWARD LIEN
BETWEEN SENDING -- 2016 AND
2020.
IN IN ARIZONA, REPUBLICAN SENATE
CANDIDATE BLAKE MASTERS IS
MAKING A HUGE PUSH FOR HISPANIC
VOTERS.
>> MASTERS IS FORGING INTO
DEMOCRATIC TERRITORY.
BY OPENING FIELD OFFICES IN
PREDOMINANTLY LATINO
NEIGHBORHOODS.
>> PEOPLE ARE SICK OF THIS.
YOU MAKE EVERYTHING EXPENSIVE.
>> Reporter: THE SOCIAL MESSAGE
RESONATES.
>> Laura: THIS POLL SHOWS HIM
TIED WITH MARK KELLY, DEMOCRATS
THOUGHT WAS A LOCK FOR
REELECTION.
AND DEMOCRATS ARE FARING FEARING
THAT SENATOR CORTEZ MUSTO WILL
LOSE TO ADAM REXALL AS NEARLY
EVERY POLL SHOWS HER BEHIND AND
CONTINUING TO LOSE LATINO
SUPPORT THERE OUT.
ALL THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE
NECK -- SENSE.
HISPANICS DON’T LIKE GETTING
APPLIED TO ANY MORE THAN ANY
DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP AND DEMOCRATS
HAVE BEEN LYING A LOT NONSTOP
FRANKLY.
DURING TRUMP, THEY LET ABOUT
RUSSIA COLLUSION.
THEN THEY LIED ABOUT HOW SCHOOL
SHUTDOWNS WERE IT REALLY
NECESSARY.
THEN THE LIED?
THEY HAVE A PROBLEM TELLING THE
TRUTH AND ALL OF IT AFFECTS THE
HISPANIC COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS
ANY OTHER PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO
COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES.
THEY LIED ABOUT HOW SOFT ON
CRIME POLICIES LIKE FAILED
REFORMS WOULD LEAD TO BETTER
RESULTS INSTEAD OF A SURGE IN
CRIME.
THAT HURTS HISPANIC COMMUNITY.
>> THEY LIED ABOUT HOW THE BOARD
WAS UNDER CONTROL.
DON’T YOU LOVE THAT?
THAT HAS LED TO HISPANIC DEATHS
FROM FENTANYL AND OVERCROWDED
CLASSROOMS GET DIFFICULT FOR
PARENTS AND KIDS TO DEAL WITH.
THEY LIED ABOUT NEEDING TO SHUT
DOWN BUSINESSES DURING COVID.
DOING ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO OUR
GROWING CLASS OF HISPANIC
ENTREPRENEURS.
AND THEY LIED ABOUT WHO IS TO
BLAME FOR THESE PARTICULARLY
HIGH ENERGY PRICES.
BLAMING POOR GAS STATION OWNERS.
THAT WAS NICE, JOE BIDEN.
DEMOCRATS ARE SO DESPERATE TO
HOLD ONTO POWER THAT THEY WILL
EVEN LIKE TO CONCEAL THE TRUE
MEDICAL CONDITION OF THEIR OWN
CANDIDATES.
JOE BIDEN AND JOHN FETTERMAN.
AFTER LAST NIGHT’S AT
PERFORMANCE BY FETTERMAN AND THE
DEBATE WITH MATT MATT ODDS
FANATICS AT THE VIEW ARE STILL
DEFENDING HIS FITNESS FOR
OFFICE.
>> IT WAS STRANGE THAT HE CHOSE
TO BULLY A STROKE VICTIM.
RIGHT?
HE OBVIOUSLY WAS BULLYING HIM.
HE KNOWS THAT FETTERMAN’S
COGNITIVE ABILITIES HAVE NOT
BEEN COMPROMISED.
IT IS ABOUT EXPRESSION THAT HAS
BEEN COMPROMISED.
>> Laura: NOW IT IS BULLYING TO
ASK PEOPLE QUESTIONS.
THAT IS TODAY’S DEMOCRAT PARTY.
WHY WOULD ANYONE CHOOSE
VOLUNTARILY TODAY WITH THEIR
TRACK RECORD IN THAT KIND OF
COMMENTED BE A MEMBER OF THIS
PARTY?
HISPANIC AMERICANS AS DIVERSE
AND MULTIFACETED AS THEY ARE,
THEY WANT WHAT WE ALL WANT.
THEY WANT A GOVERNMENT THAT
WORKS FOR US NOT AGAINST US.
THE FACT IS MORE HISPANICS ARE
BEGINNING TO SEE WHAT REAGAN
DEMOCRATS SAW IN 1980.
THAT THE COUNTRY THAT THEY LOVE
IS BETTER LED BY CONSERVATIVES
THEN BY A PARTY THAT DECEIVES
AND DISRESPECTS THEM.
DAY IN AND DAY OUT.
ON ELECTION NIGHT IN 2020 WHEN
SO MANY REPUBLICANS WERE IN
DISTRESS, OF COURSE, ABOUT THE
RESULTS THAT WERE HAPPENING, I
SAW A POSITIVE TREND.
>> WHEN WE LOOK AT FLORIDA, THE
COALITION THAT THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PICK TOGETHER
IN THAT STATE IS REALLY
SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD TRY
TO REPLICATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
GOING FORWARD.
PICKED UP AND DOWN THE EAST
COAST WITH A STRONG INTENTION OF
SENIORS,
LATINOS, YOUNG PROFESSIONALS,
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
FLORIDA IS THE FUTURE FOR THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> Laura: THE FLORIDA MODEL THAT
THE TEXAS MODEL, WHERE
REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN WORKING
OVERTIME TO ENGAGE HISPANICS ON
ISSUES THEY CARE MOST ABOUT.
BUT ESPECIALLY OF ON THE BORDER.
THE OUTREACH IS WORKING.
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN
VIRGINIA LAST YEAR.
GLENN YOUNGKIN MADE A CONCERTED
EFFORT TO REACH THE HISPANIC
COMMUNITY INCLUDING ON THE
SCHOOL ISSUE, HISPANIC LANGUAGE
RADIO ADS, TELEVISION ADS.
TURNS OUT HISPANICS DO NOT WANT
THEIR KIDS TO FOCUS ON GENDER
FLUIDITY IN THE CLASSROOM
ANYMORE THAN ANY OTHER PARENTS
DO.
WE ARE SEEING SIMILAR EFFORTS
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
BUT WE ARE NOT YET FINISHED.
WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
BUT THE OLD CANARD THAT SOMEHOW
POPULISM AND HISPANIC OUTREACH
DON’T MIX WELL, THAT HAS BEEN
PROVEN WRONG.
AND THE VICIOUS LIKE THAT
PUBLISHED REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT
TO WORK WITH HISPANIC VOTERS HAS
BEEN TOTALLY DISCREDITED.
OUR POPULIST MOVEMENT WAS NEVER
LIMITED TO RURAL AMERICA BECAUSE
IT IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE LIFE
FOR ALL AMERICANS OF ALL ETHNIC
BACKGROUNDS AND ALL 50 STATES.
FOR A LONG TIME, TO MEET IT
REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT PUBLISHED
AMERICANS WHO SUPPORT THE MAGA
MOVEMENT WOULD HAVE ANYTHING IN
COMMON WITH HISPANIC VOTERS.
THEY WERE WRONG.
