THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> YOU BET.
>> Shannon: 2020 DEMOCRATS ARE
HOPING FOR A COMEBACK AFTER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WON MICHIGAN IN
2016.
HE WAS THE FIRST REPUBLICAN TO
CARRY THIS STATE SINCE 1988.
THE HEAD OF THE REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL COMMITTEE PENDING AN
OP-ED IN "THE DETROIT NEWS"
TITLED "SOCIALIST POLICIES WON'T
FLY IN MICHIGAN."
JOURNEY ME NOW, G.O.P.
CHAIRWOMAN RONNA McDANIEL.
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US TONIGH
TONIGHT.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Shannon: I WANT TO LOOK AT
SOME STATISTICS.
TOP TEN SEARCHES IN GOOGLE IN
THE LAST SEVEN DAYS IN MICHIGAN,
ISSUES PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT.
ATOP THE LIST IS HEALTH CARE.
WE KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
OUR POLLING SHOWS THAT A LOT OF
VOTERS THINK DEMOCRATS ARE
BETTER EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THAT
ISSUE.
THEY DON'T TRUST REPUBLICANS WHO
HAVE TALKED ABOUT REPEALING IT.
HAVEN'T REALLY MADE A GOOD
PUBLIC CASE OR ARTICULATION FOR
WHAT THEY WOULD DO ABOUT
HEALTH CARE.
IT'S GOT VOTERS WORRIED AND YET
HERE THEY SAY IT'S THE NUMBER
ONE ISSUE.
>> YOU HAVE SEEN REPUBLICANS
TAKE THIS ON.
HE SAW THE GRAMM CASSIDY BILL
AND HE SAW DEMOCRATS REFUSING TO
COME ACROSS THE AISLE THAT WOULD
BLOCK MONEY TO STATES.
WHAT YOU SAW FROM THE DEMOCRATS
TONIGHT IS THE TOTAL SOCIALIST
PLAN, TAKEOVER OF ALL OF OUR
HEALTH CARE WITH THIS PROPOSAL
FROM MEDICARE FOR ALL.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PAY FOR
IT.
THEY WERE DISHONEST ABOUT THE
FACT THAT IT WAS WOULD RAISE
TAXES ON EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN.
BERNIE SANDERS AND
ELIZABETH WARREN SAID FLAT OUT
THEY WOULD TAKE AWAY PRIVATE
HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS AND I
DON'T THINK THAT SOMETHING
PEOPLE IN MICHIGAN WOULD LIKE.
IT'S BEEN POLLED IN MICHIGAN.
IT'S NOT POPULAR.
A LOT OF UNION WORKERS WOULD SAY
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE AWAY MY
PLAN THAT I NEGOTIATED?
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE ME OFF OF
MY PLAN WHERE I CAN CHOOSE MY
DOCTOR AND WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
AND MY FAMILY?
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO
FLY.
>> Shannon: YOU MENTIONED
SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN.
SHE TALKED ABOUT THIS TONIGHT,
THAT SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT
SHE HAS HEARD HER FELLOW
DEMOCRATS SAYING, SHE SAID DON'T
FALL INTO THE TRAP.
HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID AS A BIT OF
A WARNING.
>> WE ARE THE DEMOCRATS.
WE ARE NOT ABOUT TRYING TO TAKE
AWAY HEALTH CARE FROM ANYONE.
THAT'S WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE
TRYING TO DO.
WE SHOULD STOP USING REPUBLICAN
TALKING POINTS IN ORDER TO YOU V
TALKING POINTS IN ORDER TO YOU R
TALKING POINTS IN ORDER TO YOU Y
TALKING POINTS IN ORDER TO YOU M
TALKING POINTS IN ORDER TO YOU C
TALKING POINTS IN ORDER TO YOU .
WE WANT TO BRING
RONNA McDANIEL IN.
WE PLAYED A SOUND BITE FROM
ELIZABETH WARREN WHICH STANDS IN
SUCH CONTRAST TO WHAT WE HEARD
FROM THE CONGRESSMAN SPEAKING
WITH PETER.
CAUTIONING ABOUT GOING TOO FAR
LEFT AND TAKING AWAY
HEALTH CARE, PRIVATE INSURANCE
FROM MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO
MAY NOT BE SO SOLD ON THAT IDEA.
HER RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE
PUSHBACK WAS LISTEN, WE'VE GOT
TO STAND AND FIGHT FOR THINGS
AND WE CAN'T SAY THERE'S NO WAY
TO GET IT DONE.
THAT'S NOT WHY WERE RUNNING.
THERE IS A SCHISM THERE.
SHE ALSO SAID TONIGHT THAT IF
YOU SAY THESE THINGS ABOUT
LOSING PRIVATE INSURANCE AND
WARNING PEOPLE, SHE'S ACCUSING
HER FELLOW DEMOCRATS OF USING
YOUR G.O.P. TALKING POINTS IN
THIS DEBATE TONIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> SHE WAS DISHONEST TONIGHT.
SHE WOULDN'T ADMIT THAT IT WOULD
BE A TAX CUT ON THE MIDDLE CLASS
WHICH IT ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE.
THE ESTIMATES ARE $32 TRILLION
TO DO MEDICARE FOR ALL.
THAT WOULD SKYROCKET.
TAKING AWAY HEALTH CARE, PRIVATE
HEALTH CARE PLANS FOR
180 MILLION AMERICANS.
I DO NOT WANT BERNIE SANDERS OR
ELIZABETH WARREN TELLING ME WHAT
DOCTOR I CAN GO TO, WHAT MEDICAL
PROCEDURES I GET TO HAVE.
I DON'T WANT WASHINGTON MAKING
THOSE DECISIONS.
I WANT TO MAKE THAT DECISION
BETWEEN ME AND MY DOCTOR.
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY BEING DISHONEST
WHEN SHE SAINT DEMOCRATS ARE NOT
TAKING SOMETHING AWAY.
THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE PROPOSING
TAKING AWAY YOUR PRIVATE HEALTH
INSURANCE PLANS.
I DO NOT THINK THE MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS WANT THAT.
>> Shannon: A NUMBER OF
DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THAT.
THAT IT COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO
WHOMEVER BECOMES THE NOMINEE.
I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING FROM
SOUTH BEND MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG.
HE SAID NO MATTER WHAT THE WIND
AND
PRESIDENT ARE GOING TO COME
AFTER THEM IN THE SAME WAY.
>> IF IT'S TRUE THAT IF WE
EMBRACE A FAR LEFT AGENDA THEY
ARE GOING TO SAY WE ARE A BUNCH
OF CRAZY SOCIALIST.
IF WE EMBRACE A CONSERVATIVE
AGENDA, THEY ARE GOING TO SAY WE
ARE A BUNCH OF CRAZY
SOCIALISTS...
TO STAND UP FOR THE RIGHT POLICY
AND GO THERE AND DEFENDED.
>> Shannon: TEN SECONDS FROM
YOU, CHAIRWOMAN.
>> THE WINNER TONIGHT WAS
DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE HE GETS TO
RUN ON AN ECONOMY THAT IS
BOOMING, WAGES ARE UP, JOBS
COMING BACK.
ESPECIALLY IN MICHIGAN,
MANUFACTURING JOBS ARE COMING
BACK.
IT WAS SHAMEFUL THAT WE DIDN'T
HEAR ANY MENTION OF USMCA.
WE ARE IN MICHIGAN.
WE NEED MANY OF MANUFACTURING
JOBS COMING BACK AND NOT ONE
PERSON SAID THAT WE NEED TO
REVISE NAFTA.
IT'S CRITICAL TO MY HOME STATE
OF MICHIGAN.
>> Shannon: IT IS CERTAINLY
