LIGHT FOR TWO HOURS COVERING
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RALLY
BEGINNING AT 7:00 P.M. EASTERN
AND WEST VIRGINIA.
THE PRESIDENT THROWING HIS
SUPPORT BEHIND PATRICK MORRISSEY
AND HIS BID TO UNSEAT JOE
MANCHIN IN THE SENATE WILL CARRY
THE PRESIDENT'S REMARKS IN FULL
VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL,
REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE,
PATRICK MORRISSEY.
PATRICK, GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH
US.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING TONIGHT?
WHAT DOES THE RACE LOOK LIKE?
>> I'LL TELL YOU WE ARE FEELING
VERY GOOD.
IT IS ALWAYS EXCITING WHEN THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
COMES TO VISIT YOUR STATE.
I CAN TELL YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP
WILL BE A REAL DIFFERENCE MAKER
IN THE SENATE RACE.
HE ENJOYS VERY HIGH APPROVAL
RATINGS.
HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH A
GREAT DEAL IN HIS SHORT TERM IN
OFFICE AND I THINK HE KNOWS I'M
GOING TO BE THE CONSERVATIVE
FIGHTER THAT WEST VIRGINIA IS
LOOKING FOR AND WILL BE ABLE TO
HELP OUT THE TRUMP JOBS AGENDA.
HE ALSO KNOWS THAT JOE MANCHIN
HAS BEEN CODDLING UP TO ALL THE
RADICAL LIBERALS, SUPPORTING
HILLARY, BARACK OBAMA.
LOU: HAS HE BEEN DOING NOT?
>> HE HAS.
HE HAS IN FACT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE ISSUES THAT
MODERATE, BUT HE IS NEVER GOING
TO GIVE A VOTE TO THE PRESIDENT
UNLESS IT'S ALREADY LOCKED IN.
SO WHETHER YOU LOOK AT THE TRUMP
TAX CUTS, JOE VOTED NO.
THAT'S ACTUALLY VERY HARMFUL IN
WEST VIRGINIA BECAUSE WE REALLY
DOUBLING OF THE STANDARD
DEDUCTION.
THINK ABOUT IT.
IT IS WEST VIRGINIA.
SO MANY REALLY POSITIVE THINGS
FOR OUR STATE AND JOE SAID NO.
JOE HAS BEEN ON THE WRONG SIDE
OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT ISSUES.
HE HAS SUPPORTED LAND PARENTHOOD
AND I THINK THIS PRESIDENT KNOWS
WHO IS GOING TO GET A STRONG
ALLY IN THE U.S. SENATE.
THIS IS THE ONE PLACE THE
PRESIDENT CAN COME IN, MAKE A
BIG DIFFERENCE.
HE'S DOING SO MANY GOOD THINGS
IN D.C.
LOU: HE IS DOING GREAT THINGS
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE COLD
FACTS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WEST
THE SECOND-LARGEST STATE WHOLE
PRODUCTION.
79 MILLION TONS.
UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA, COAL JOBS
LOST BECAUSE OF HIS ANTI-COAL
POLICIES 35,200 JOBS.
IT IS TRULY STUNNING STUFF AND
THIS PRESIDENT HAS BEEN BUILDING
THE COAL INDUSTRY AND THE PEOPLE
OF WEST VIRGINIA.
>> WELL, LUKE, IF YOU LOOK AT
THE FACTS, WHAT HAPPENED, JOE
MANCHIN SUPPORTED BARACK OBAMA
AND HILLARY CLINTON.
LOU: WHAT I AM ASKING --
>> FOR COAL MINERS OUT OF WORK.
LOU: HOW DOES HE OVERCOME THAT?
>> WELL, IT IS FUNNY STUFF.
AS VOTERS LOOK AT THE CONTRAST
BETWEEN JOE MANCHIN WHO WAS WITH
HILLARY AFTER SHE SAID SHE WAS
GOING TO PUT COAL MINERS OUT OF
I AM THE GUY WHO LED THE WHOLE
NATIONAL COALITION TO TAKE OUT
THE OBAMA POWER PLANT AND WE WON
AN HISTORIC VICTORY AT THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT OVER THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
WE SERVED AS THE BRIDGE TO GET
TO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
OBVIOUSLY, THE PRESIDENT HAS
BEEN DOING GREAT THINGS HELPING
OUT COAL IN OUR ENERGY
RESOURCES.
WEST VIRGINIA IS A BIG ENERGY
STATE.
JOE MANCHIN LET US DOWN WHEN HE
SUPPORTED HILLARY AND BARACK
OBAMA AND I DON'T AND HE HAS A
GOOD ANSWER FOR THAT AND THE
REST OF HIS RECORD BECAUSE HE
HAS STILL BEEN MORE WILLING TO
SUPPORT CHUCK SCHUMER, NANCY
PELOSI, HILLARY THAN
HARD-WORKING WEST VIRGINIANS.
HE CERTAINLY IS NO FAN OF THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE HE
NEVER GIVES HIS BOAT WHEN IT'S
NEEDED.
LOU: IT WAS KIND OF CUTE THERE
FOR A WHILE WHEN HE WOULD TRY TO
WAS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, JOIN HIM
IN THE CONTRACT TO MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN.
HE BLEW THAT.
ARE YOU GOING TO SUPPORT THE
AGAIN, PATRICK?
>> WELL, I AM A VERY STRONG
ADVOCATE BEHIND THIS PRESIDENT
QUESTION.
ARE YOU GOING TO SUPPORT?
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
WE ARE GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY
ROCK SOLID STRONG AND THAT IS
THE WAY WE NEED TO BE.
HERE IS WHY, LOU.
LOU: WE ARE OUT OF TIME.
I KNOW YOU'LL DO A TERRIFIC HERE
TO JUST WANTED TO HEAR YOU SAY
IT BECAUSE A LOT OF CANDIDATES
OUT THERE ARE TRYING TO MAKE UP
THEIR MINDS WHETHER THEY WILL
RUN WITH HIM OR NOT RUN WITH
HIM.
>> IN WEST VIRGINIA, WE ARE WITH
