COMING ON.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Sandra: THANK YOU.
MAJOR PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY
NOW IN TULSA AHEAD OF SATURDAY’S
RALLY.
THE REPUBLICAN MAYOR THEY ARE
DECLARING A CIVIL EMERGENCY
ANNOUNCING A CURFEW LEADING UP
TO THE EVENTS THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING.
THIS AS NEW INFORMATION FROM THE
TULSA POLICE SUGGEST CROWDS
OUTSIDE THE EVENT CENTER COULD
EXCEED 100,000 PEOPLE.
TO DISCUSS ALL OF IT, LET’S
BRING OUR NEXT GUEST,
LARA TRUMP, SENIOR ADVISOR FOR
THE 2020 CAMPAIGN.
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME BACK.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> GOOD TO BE BACK WITH YOU AS
ALWAYS.
>> Sandra: SO CONSIDERING THE
CAMPAIGN IS ASKING THE ATTENDEES
TO SIGN THIS RISK DISCLOSURE
CONSIDERING THE CURRENT SPREAD
OF COVID-19, CONSIDERING IT’S
STILL A RISK, WHY HOLD THE EVENT
NOW AND IF IT HAS TO BE NOW, WHY
NOT OUTSIDE SOMEWHERE?
>> PART OF THE EVENT WILL BE
OUTSIDE.
GOING TO HAVE A BIG AREA FOR
PEOPLE WHO DON’T GET INTO THE
ARENA.
CAN ONLY HOLD AROUND 19,000
PEOPLE AND AS YOU KNOW, WELL
OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE RSVPED FOR
THIS EVENT SO WE ARE EXPECTING
TO HAVE MORE OF A FESTIVAL FEEL,
AND OUTSIDE COMPONENT AND
INSIGHT COMPONENT.
BUT IT IS TIME NOW BECAUSE
PEOPLE I THINK ARE READY TO GET
BACK TO SOME NORMALCY AND MORE
SO THAN JUST A CAMPAIGN RALLY,
THIS KIND OF FEELS LIKE THE KICK
OFF TO REOPENING THE COUNTRY.
WE CHOSE OKLAHOMA BECAUSE THEY
WERE THE FIRST DAY IN THE
COUNTRY TO LIFT THEIR COVID
RESTRICTIONS AND WE ARE GOING
ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE DOING TEMPERATURE
CHECKS WHEN PEOPLE COME IN,
BEING GIVEN MASKS, HAND
SANITIZER, DOING EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO HELP ON THAT FRONT, BUT
IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT
CELEBRATION AND WE FELT LIKE IT
WAS TIME TO START.
>> Sandra: OF COURSE, YOU KNOW
THAT IT IS 19,000 PEOPLE IN
CLOSE PROXIMITY AT A TIME WHEN
SO MANY OF US ARE TRYING TO
STILL SOCIAL DISTANCE.
I KNOW THAT THE ARENA HAS ASKED
YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR A WRITTEN PLAN
TO MITIGATE THE SPREAD INSIDE OF
THE ARENA THERE, IS THERE ANY
PLAN TO MAKE MASKS MANDATORY FOR
ATTENDEES?
>> WE ARE BEING STRONGLY
SUGGESTED THAT PEOPLE WEAR THEM,
BUT WE ALSO BELIEVE IN PEOPLE’S
PERSONAL FREEDOMS AND THEY ARE
ALLOWED TO CHOOSE FIRST OF ALL
WHETHER OR NOT TO EVEN ATTEND
THIS EVENT AND THEN WHEN THEY
GET INSIDE, IF THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY ARE IN A SAFER DEMOGRAPHIC
AND THEY DON’T WANT TO WEAR A
MASK, WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO
AROUND AND ENFORCE IT FOR EVERY
SINGLE PERSON BUT OBVIOUSLY
MAKING THEM AVAILABLE WHEN DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TRY TO HELP
MITIGATE THE SPREAD IF THAT EVEN
BECOMES A PROBLEM.
BUT YOU CONTRAST THIS RALLY,
THIS ONE TRUMP RALLY WITH WHAT
EVERYONE SAW HAPPEN IN THESE
PROTESTS ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
IN THE CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY
THAT HAVE THE HIGHEST COVID
RATES, TULSA, OKLAHOMA, WAS NOT
ONE OF THOSE CITIES AND SO
WHENEVER YOU THINK ABOUT THE
FACT THAT NOBODY HAD A PROBLEM
WITH ANY OF THESE RALLIES, BY
AND LARGE CHAMPIONING THESE
RALLIES AND SAYING GOT OUT THERE
AND PROTEST, NOW ALL OF A
SUDDEN, IT’S A TRUMP RALLY AND
EVERYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT.
THE HYPOCRISY IS VERY OBVIOUS TO
PEOPLE HERE, I THINK.
>> Sandra: IS A DOUBLE
STANDARD THAT HAS BEEN POINTED
OUT BY MANY ON YOUR CAMPAIGN AND
MANY WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
I WENT TO PUT THIS UP ON THE
SCREEN, THE PRESIDENT A SHORT
TIME AGO.
ANY PROTESTERS, ANARCHISTS,
AGITATORS WHO ARE GOING TO
OKLAHOMA, PLEASE UNDERSTAND YOU
WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE YOU
HAVE BEEN IN NEW YORK, SEATTLE,
OR MINNEAPOLIS.
WILL BE A MUCH DIFFERENT SCENE.
A REACTING NOW TO THE CIVIL
EMERGENCIES THAT THE MAYOR OF
TULSA, A REPUBLICAN HAS NOW
DECLARED BECAUSE OF SOME
WARNINGS THAT HE HAS RECEIVED
SAYING "I HAVE RECEIVED
INFORMATION FROM THE TULSA
POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OTHER
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THAT
SHOW INDIVIDUALS FROM ORGANIZED
GROUPS WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN
VIOLENT BEHAVIOR OF PLANNING TO
TRAVEL FOR PURPOSES OF CAUSING
UNREST IN AND AROUND THE RALLY.
THAT IS THE MAYOR OF TULSA.
WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE, WHAT IS
THE CAMPAIGN MESSAGE TO ANY OF
THOSE AGITATORS WHO MAY BE
PLANNING TO DESCEND ON TULSA
AHEAD OF THIS RALLY?
>> I THINK IT IS SUCH A SHAME
THAT ANYONE WOULD HIJACK
ANYTHING.
YOU SAW HOW THESE AGITATORS
HIJACKED THE PRECIVIL PROTEST
AND THEN TURN THEM INTO RIOTS
AND THEN BURNING DOWN BUILDINGS
AND DESTROYING SMALL BUSINESSES
AND IT DEVOLVED INTO VIOLENCE
VERY QUICKLY.
TRUMP SUPPORTER’S ARE BY AND
LARGE VERY PEACEFUL PEOPLE,
WELCOMING EVERYONE TO A TRUMP
RALLY.
THEY WANT EVERYONE TO EXPERIENCE
THIS PRESIDENT AS THEY SEE HIM
AND AS THEY KNOW HIM.
NEVER HAD ISSUES AT A TRUMP
RALLY AND I WOULD THINK OF THESE
PEOPLE SHOWED UP, THEY WOULD BE
SHOCKED BY HOW WELCOMED THEY
WOULD BE IF THEY WANTED TO COME
IN PEACEFULLY AND SEE THE
PRESIDENTS RALLY.
IT IS A SHAME ANYBODY WOULD EVER
CONSIDER DOING THIS JUST TO
CAUSE CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION AND
VIOLENCE, BUT STAY HOME.
WE DON’T NEED YOU THERE.
THIS IS A JOYFUL CELEBRATION,
AND WE WANTED TO REMAIN THAT
WAY.
>> Sandra: OKAY.
A FEW BIG THINGS I WANT TO ASK
YOU ABOUT.
WE HAVE LONG HAD A CONVERSATION
ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND WOMEN,
AND YOU LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING
IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLING,
IT DOES SHOW THE CHOICE FOR
PRESIDENT IS VOTING TODAY AMONG
WOMEN GOES TO JOE BIDEN PULLING
52% AND OUR LATEST POLL THE
PRESIDENT TRUMP 33%.
IN WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT DOING
TO TRY TO WIN OVER THE FEMALE
VOTE AND IN SOME CASES WHEN IT
BACK?
>> I HAVE ALWAYS TOLD YOU AS
WELL THAT I DON’T THINK THOSE
HOLES ACCURATELY REFLECT HOW
PEOPLE REALLY FEEL ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY.
WE KNOW THEY WEREN’T RIGHT IN
2016.
I THINK THEY ARE EVEN MORE
INCORRECT NOW.
THAT SAID, WHENEVER I THINK MOMS
OUT THERE SEE THE VIOLENCE IN
ALL OF THESE DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES
THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO
HAPPEN, THE WAY THAT THE DEFUND
THE POLICE MOVEMENT HAS TAKEN A
HOLD OF SO MANY OF OUR GREAT
CITIES IN THIS NATION, IT IS
VERY FRIGHTENING.
I HAVE TWO KIDS, AND I WOULD BE
TERRIFIED TO LIVE IN A CITY OR
IN A COUNTRY THAT WOULD HAVE A
DEFUNDED POLICE FORCE WERE YOU
DIDN’T HAVE LAW AND ORDER IN
THIS PRESIDENT HAS ALWAYS STOOD
UP FOR LAW AND ORDER AND IT’S
SOMETHING THAT HE STANDS STRONG
WITH NOW.
I THINK WOMEN ARE PAYING
ATTENTION TO THAT, AND YOU ONLY
HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TRACK RECORD
OF THIS PRESIDENT, AND THAT IS
OUR GOAL WITH OUR WOMEN FOR A
TRUMP GOAL IS TO GET THE MESSAGE
OUT THERE ABOUT WHAT THIS
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO, A
HISTORICAL LOW IN WOMEN’S
UNEMPLOYMENT OVER THE PAST 70
YEARS HAS WE WERE LEADING INTO
CORONAVIRUS, OVER HALF OF THE
JOBS CREATED IN THIS COUNTRY
WERE 7 MILLION NEW JOBS,
3.6 MILLION OF THOSE WENT TO
WOMEN.
SO THIS PRESIDENT HAS BEEN A
VERY GOOD FOR WOMEN AND THAT IS
OUR JOB AT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN,
TO GET OUT THERE, REMIND WOMEN
OF THAT, BUT ALSO TELL THEM HOW
FRIGHTENING IT COULD BE OF
JOE BIDEN AND HIS RADICAL
SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY GOT
CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES,
WHAT YOU SEE HAPPENING IN
MINNEAPOLIS, SEATTLE, AND
PORTMAN COULD BE COMING TO A
TOWN NEAR YOU OF JOE BIDEN GOT
CONTROL.
>> Sandra: ON THAT POINT, IS
THE CAMPAIGN ACTIVELY SEEKING
ANOTHER GENERAL ELECTION
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WITH
JOE BIDEN?
>> I THINK THAT WE WOULD LIKE
PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AS
MUCH EXPOSURE TO BOTH THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS POLICIES AS
WELL AS JOE BIDEN AND HIS
POLICIES.
JOE BIDEN HAS SPENT 78 DAYS NOT
TALKING TO THE PRESS, 78 DAYS
SINCE HE DID A PRESS CONFERENCE
FOR THE PEOPLE ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY TO SEE WHAT HE STANDS
FOR, WHO HE IS.
HE’S BEEN HIDING IN HIS
BASEMENT.
IS TIME TO GET JOE OUT AND
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
DONALD TRUMP’S VISION FOR THE
FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY, HIS PLAN
TO ACTUALLY BRING THE ECONOMY
BACK, TO BRING JOBS BACK.
HE DID IT ONCE.
HE CAN AND WILL DO IT AGAIN END.
VERSUS JOE BIDEN AND PUT HIM ON
THINGS LIKE WHERE REALLY DOES HE
STAND WITH DEFUND THE POLICE?
HE HASN’T BEEN EXTREMELY CLEAR
WITH THAT.
TALKING ABOUT HAVING AOC PRESSES
CLIMATE CHANGE ADVISOR.
THINK ABOUT IMPLEMENTING THE
GREEN NEW DEAL.
WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THIS MAN
AND IT WOULD BE THAT MUCH MORE
INFORMED.
>> Sandra: THEY WERE THREE
SCHEDULE NOW BUT DOES THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF WANT THAT
FOURTH DEBATE?
>> HE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY HAPPY
TO HAVE A FOURTH DEBATE.
THEY NEED TO BE MOVED EARLIER
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF EARLY
VOTING IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT HE
WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE A FOURTH
DEBATE.
>> Sandra: OKAY, GOT IT.
JUST GAVE AN INTERVIEW, GREAT
TELEVISION, WASHINGTON BUREAU
CHIEF DIDN’T SPECIFICALLY ANSWER
THAT QUESTION SO WAS WONDERING
IF IT WAS THE CAMPAIGN AND THE
PRESIDENT WERE ON THE SAME PAGE
AS FAR AS WARNING THAT FOURTH
