OKAY, WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE
2020 DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGERS
BUT UNTIL RECENTLY WE DID NOT
THINK TROMP WOULD FACE A
CHALLENGER ON THE REPUBLICAN
SIDE.
IT TURNS OUT HE MIGHT HAVE AN
OPPONENT FOR THE GOP
NOMINATION.
MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR BILL.
HERE HE IS.
PRESIDENT TROMP, HE CUT
REGULATIONS, BOOSTED JOB,
DEFEATS DEFEATED ISIS, WHAT
PART OF THAT RECORD DO YOU
THINK THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN
THE PRIMARY WILL WANT TO
REJECT AND VOTE AGAINST?
>> I'LL TELL YOU, I DON'T
THINK THE PRESIDENT IS AN
ECONOMIC CONSERVATIVE AND THE
PROOF IS THAT HE HASN'T CUT
SPENDING.
I CUT SPENDING A LOT IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
I THINK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
SHOULD HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET
REQUIREMENT JUST AS ALL 49
STATES DO.
ALL THE STATES EXCEPT VERMONT,
AND THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE
THESE 2 TRILLION-DOLLAR
DEFICITS ALL-TIME AND THE
PRESIDENT HAS ADDED 8 TRILLION
MORE DOLLARS TO THE DEFICIT
WITH HIS LATEST BUDGET.
NOW WE ARE AT $30 TRILLION.
I THINK THAT RAISES AN ISSUE
OF FAIRNESS WITH THE YOUNGER
GENERATIONS, THE MILLENNIAL'S
AND GEN X WILL PAY FOR ALL
THAT.
WERE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT.
IT'S TOO LATE FOR ALL THAT.
NO HOUSEHOLD COULD SURVIVE
THAT WAY, NOT BALANCING THEIR
CHECKBOOK.
I DON'T SEE WHY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT SHOULD EITHER.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE ACTUAL
OUTCOME FOR REAL PEOPLE, THE
FACT THAT THE ECONOMY, YOU CAN
LOOK AT THE DATA IN TERMS OF
HOW PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING
THIS ECONOMY.
THAT'S A STRONG RECORD, DON'T
YOU THINK PEOPLE WILL WANT
MORE OF THAT?
>> I THINK, OF COURSE I WANT
MORE THAN THAT, THE AN
EMPHASIS ON NATIONAL WEALTH IS
ONE OF THE CHIEF DUTIES OF THE
MAGISTRATE OF THE UNITED
STATES BUT I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE BEING THOUGHTFUL IN
WASHINGTON ABOUT THE FUTURE OF
THE ECONOMY, THE FUTURE OF
WORK.
WE ARE ABOUT TO LOSE 15 OR 20%
OF ALL OF OUR JOBS IN THE
COMING YEARS BECAUSE OF
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND
ROBOTICS AND DRONES AND
MACHINE LEARNING AND ABOVE
ALL, SELF DRIVING VEHICLES.
NO ONE'S REALLY DOING ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT.
I HAVE A PLAN, AND ECONOMIC
PLAN TO EQUIP THOSE DISPLACED
WORKERS FOR THE SKILLS THAT
THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO GET
REPLACEMENT JOBS WHICH ARE
GOING TO BE EVEN HIGHER
WAGES.
I DON'T SEE PRESIDENT TROMP OR
ANYONE ELSE IN WASHINGTON
PLANNING AHEAD FOR THE PLAN OF
THOSE DISPLACED WORKERS WHO
YOU MIGHT THINK AS LIKELY
TROMP VOTERS.
WHERE'S THE AID FROM THE
PRESIDENT.
IT'S NOT THERE.
>> I GOT IT.
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT POINT
BUT MY QUESTION IS, WHY DON'T
YOU TAKE THAT PLAN TO THE
WHITE HOUSE AND SAY LET'S GET
TOGETHER.
IT'S EXACTLY MY PLAN TO TAKE
THAT PLAN DIRECTLY TO THE
WHITE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER 2020.
>> WHAT YOU THINK HIS CHANCES
ARE.
>> I SPENT THE WEEKEND GETTING
GOOD RECEPTION.
I STARTED THE WEEK WITH THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
MEMBER.
I MET WITH THE GOVERNOR THE
NEXT DAY, HE HAD ALSO BEEN AT
THE STATE PAN PAT'S EVENT THE
PREVIOUS WEEK MEETING WITH
CITIZEN GROUPS AND COLLEGE
GROUPS AND VICTIMS OF SEXUAL
AND DOMESTIC ABUSE.
>> TO CLOSE IT OUT, JUST TELL
US.
[INAUDIBLE]
45% OF THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FORGET THE
INDEPENDENTS ARE ALLOWED TO
VOTE AND ARE OPEN TO A PRIMARY
CHALLENGE TO PRESIDENT TROMP
AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE.
>> OKAY.
WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND
APPRECIATE YOU JOINING US.
>> BY.
>> WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT.
>> GOOD LUCK.
THIS IS THE MOST POPULAR
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WITH A
95% APPROVAL WITHIN THE
PARTY.
EVERY PROMISE THEY WANTED TO
GET ACCOMPLISHED, THEY BEEN
DONE.
PAST CUTS, IRAN DEAL CANCELED,
CIRCUIT COURT JUDGES, THEY
SURVIVED THE GREATEST HIT JOB
IN THE MUELLER REPORT AND
THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF
ME LISTING
ME LSTING
ME LISING
ME LISTIG
ME LISTING.
>> YOU ASKED SOME GREAT
QUESTIONS.
THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST
HIM.
OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A
NONBINDING.
[INAUDIBLE]
IT'S BEEN SUSPECT FOR THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN CHANGING THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE?
I'M NOT SURE YET.
INCREASING THE PROGRAM, THINGS
I DON'T REALLY RESONATE AS
MUCH WITH THE CONSERVATIVE
MOVEMENT AND I WILL SAY THE X
ECONOMICS REMINDS ME OF WHEN
THEY RELEASED IT TO THE WORLD
BECAUSE IT WAS IN EVERYONE'S
GREAT INTEREST.
IT DOES NOT BEHOOVE HIM TO
