- 0:01Speaker 1: Another Republican debate in the books, DeSantis and Nikki Haley
- 0:05Speaker 1: opened the debate by attacking Donald Trump, one of them
- 0:08Speaker 1: saying I don't think he's the right president. Now going
- 0:13Speaker 1: all in trying to find a lane for how they
- 0:15Speaker 1: are going to beat j Trump. Now, the question is,
- 0:20Speaker 1: if you watched the third Republican debate, did it change
- 0:24Speaker 1: your mind? If you were leaning towards Donald Trump or
- 0:27Speaker 1: a secured voter for Trump, are you now changing your mind?
- 0:30Speaker 2: If you were a.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Haley voter, or a vivic voter, or a DeSantis voter,
- 0:35Speaker 1: did they lose or gain even more support from you
- 0:38Speaker 1: last night? That is the big question. Now, there were
- 0:41Speaker 1: some moments last night, some moments that were pre rehearsed,
- 0:45Speaker 1: but actually we're pretty decent. One of them was Vivik
- 0:49Speaker 1: Ramaswami where he opened the night saying this about the
- 0:52Speaker 1: Republican Party.
- 0:54Speaker 2: And it certainly landed with many voters.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Listeners want and need to hear them. Mister Ramaswami, let
- 1:01Speaker 3: me turn to you. Please make your case.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Why would you Why should you be the nominee and
- 1:06Speaker 4: not the former president?
- 1:07Speaker 5: I think there's something deeper going on in the Republican Party.
- 1:10Speaker 5: Here and I am upset about what happened last night.
- 1:13Speaker 5: We've become a party of losers. At the end of
- 1:15Speaker 5: the day, it is a cancer in the Republican establishment.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Let's speak the truth.
- 1:19Speaker 5: I mean, since Ronald McDaniel took over as chairwoman of
- 1:22Speaker 5: the R and C in twenty seventeen, we have lost
- 1:24Speaker 5: twenty eighteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty two.
- 1:27Speaker 3: No red wave that never came.
- 1:29Speaker 5: We got trounced last night in twenty twenty three. And
- 1:32Speaker 5: I think that we have to have accountability in our
- 1:35Speaker 5: party for that matter. On if you want to come
- 1:37Speaker 5: on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters
- 1:39Speaker 5: in the eye and tell them you resign, I will
- 1:41Speaker 5: turn over my yield my time to you, and frankly,
- 1:44Speaker 5: look the people they're cheering for losing in the Republican Party.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Think about who's moderating this debate. This should be Tucker Carlson,
- 1:51Speaker 5: Joe Rogan and Elon Musk.
- 1:52Speaker 3: We'd have ten.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Times the viewership asking questions that GOP primary voters actually
- 1:57Speaker 5: care about and bringing more people into our party. You
- 2:00Speaker 5: think the Democrats and we've got Kristin Welker here, do
- 2:02Speaker 5: you think that Democrats would actually hire Greg Guttfeld chast
- 2:06Speaker 5: a democratic debate.
- 2:07Speaker 2: They wouldn't do it.
- 2:09Speaker 5: And so the fact of the matters, I mean, Christ,
- 2:10Speaker 5: I'm gonna use this time because it's actually about you
- 2:12Speaker 5: and the media and the corrupt media establishment.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Ask you the Trump.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years,
- 2:20Speaker 5: was that real or was that Hillary Clinton made up disinformation?
- 2:24Speaker 3: Answer the question, go, mister, this is now we get
- 2:29Speaker 3: our country that.
- 2:31Speaker 5: We need accountability because this media rigged the twenty sixteen election.
- 2:35Speaker 3: They rigged the twenty twenty.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Election with the Hunter Biden laptop story, and they're gonna
- 2:39Speaker 5: rig this election accountability.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Let me turn to governor.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Now.
- 2:46Speaker 1: That was the moment that many in the hall were like, Okay,
- 2:49Speaker 1: I can get behind that.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:50Speaker 1: It was obviously a pre planned attack, and you have
- 2:52Speaker 1: those when you get ready for debate prep Ramaswami saying
- 2:56Speaker 1: we wouldn't hire or the Democrats wouldn't hire a conservative
- 3:02Speaker 1: to host a debate, and he's like, why are we
- 3:05Speaker 1: doing it with you?
- 3:05Speaker 2: Guys?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Tiger Carlson, Joe Rogan, Elon mush should be the ones
- 3:09Speaker 1: moderating to this debate. This debate and we would have
- 3:11Speaker 1: ten times of viewership. He's also right about that. It
- 3:15Speaker 1: was a moment for him, There was a big moment.
- 3:19Speaker 1: The problem is he gave it right back. There was
- 3:22Speaker 1: a back and forth Ramaswami talking about TikTok, a Chinese
- 3:27Speaker 1: communist app that people are stupid and put on their phones.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Many kids use it.
- 3:33Speaker 1: And what we witnessed recently was a massive purposeful influx
- 3:38Speaker 1: of pro Hamas propaganda on the TikTok app. This is
- 3:44Speaker 1: a app that's used by millions and millions of Americans,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and what we saw documented was clearly China was wanting
- 3:54Speaker 1: to not back Israel and wanted to back the terrorists.
- 3:56Speaker 2: And so what did they do.
- 3:57Speaker 1: They flooded the timeline says, you're scrolling with pro Hamas propaganda. Now,
- 4:05Speaker 1: the VECK went after Niki Haley, the VEC went after
- 4:08Speaker 1: Niki Haley's daughter.
- 4:10Speaker 2: That was a bad move for him. It was a
- 4:13Speaker 2: bad look for him.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So all those people that just if you listen the
- 4:16Speaker 1: first thing he said and you agreed with him, and
- 4:18Speaker 1: you were like, all right, I kind of like this guy.
- 4:20Speaker 1: There were many that were turned off by this back
- 4:22Speaker 1: and forth.
- 4:24Speaker 5: Well, I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't
- 4:26Speaker 5: answer your question, which is about looking at families in
- 4:28Speaker 5: the eye. And the last debate she made fun of
- 4:31Speaker 5: me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was
- 4:34Speaker 5: actually using the app for a long time. So you
- 4:35Speaker 5: might want to take care of your family first, aid
- 4:40Speaker 5: the next generation of Americans are using and that's actually
- 4:44Speaker 5: the point.
- 4:45Speaker 3: You have her supporters propping her up. That's fine, here's
- 4:48Speaker 3: the truth. The easy answer.
- 4:50Speaker 5: Is actually to say that we're just going to ban
- 4:52Speaker 5: one app.
- 4:52Speaker 3: We got to go further.
- 4:53Speaker 5: We have to ban any US company actually transferring US
- 4:58Speaker 5: data to the Chinese.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Here's a glory most people don't know.
- 5:01Speaker 5: Airbnb hands over US user data to the CCP.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Now that's a US owned company.
- 5:08Speaker 5: So this is the problem when you have Republicans that
- 5:10Speaker 5: temporarily go the way the winds blow. And now it's
- 5:13Speaker 5: popular to talk tough on China.
- 5:15Speaker 3: When she was you an.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Ambassador called them literally her words, not my our great friend.
- 5:19Speaker 5: You can't be fair weather fans of the right policy.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Get to the root cause.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Even US companies in Silicon Valley are regularly doing it.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Cut the virtue signaling.
- 5:29Speaker 5: The fact of the matter is Democrats are on TikTok today.
- 5:32Speaker 5: The only person, one of the few people who is
- 5:34Speaker 5: putting up content the way the actual algorithms work, speaking
- 5:37Speaker 5: for pro Israel views for others. A more Republicans will
- 5:41Speaker 5: join it, but stop US companies from turning over data
- 5:44Speaker 5: to Chinese companies.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Now, writers don't get to respond to personal attacks.
- 5:49Speaker 6: But you do, thank you very much. You know, when
- 5:51Speaker 6: he talks about me praising China, he doesn't know the
- 5:54Speaker 6: fact that the reason China was praised was because I
- 5:57Speaker 6: negotiated with China and Russia the largest set of sanctions
- 6:00Speaker 6: against North Korea in a generation. We are the That
- 6:03Speaker 6: is literally the reason North Korea stopped testing ballistic missiles.
- 6:07Speaker 6: So I said, China did good on their part. That
- 6:09Speaker 6: was an explosion.
- 6:10Speaker 3: You said, because are your words not mine? And so
- 6:13Speaker 3: just phone up to you would never change negotiation to
- 6:17Speaker 3: the people about what you said.
- 6:23Speaker 6: Every day, I thought, China and I did it, look
- 6:25Speaker 6: at that by making sure any agency.
- 6:28Speaker 3: Heads in you in.
- 6:29Speaker 6: I did it by making sure that we called them
- 6:32Speaker 6: out on human rights. I did it by making sure
- 6:35Speaker 6: that we held them accountable on everything that they did.
- 6:38Speaker 6: That's the reason we got out of Human Rights counsel
- 6:40Speaker 6: that's the reason we called them out, and I have
- 6:42Speaker 6: there's day I haven't.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Afterwards, everybody else is hanging on the rules here, mister Romas, Senator.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Scott, now you listen to that. And Nikki Haley called
- 6:56Speaker 1: him scum. You're just scum after he started talking about
- 7:01Speaker 1: his daughter. I think it's always a bad decision to
- 7:03Speaker 1: talk about politicians' family members, especially when they're miners. When
- 7:09Speaker 1: they're miners, they should be off limits. You should be
- 7:11Speaker 1: able to talk and debate this on your own. And
- 7:14Speaker 1: I think Ramaswami there made a big mistake because there's
- 7:17Speaker 1: a lot of mothers out there that watched that that
- 7:20Speaker 1: thought that that was probably one of the worst moments
- 7:23Speaker 1: of the ninth if not the worst moment of the night.
- 7:27Speaker 1: So he went from this amazing opening to immediately attacking
- 7:31Speaker 1: Nikoely's daughter and using that to attack her.
- 7:35Speaker 2: That was a bad look.
- 7:37Speaker 1: And I thought early on, I was like, all right,
- 7:38Speaker 1: maybe Wamaswamy's going to jump in the polls a little bit,
- 7:41Speaker 1: And then immediately that happened, I was like, never mind.
- 7:44Speaker 2: So who else had a good night?
- 7:46Speaker 1: DeSantis in the center of the stage, and DeSantis has
- 7:51Speaker 1: the most to lose when he's on that stage, but
- 7:53Speaker 1: also he has a chance to gain. It was a
- 7:56Speaker 1: good stage for him because there was fewer people. Now
- 8:00Speaker 1: there doesn't seem to be so much of a let's
- 8:02Speaker 1: go after Ron Desandra's mentality by the others on the
- 8:05Speaker 1: stage that place to his advantage. It allowed for Desanders
- 8:09Speaker 1: to actually have more time to talk about the issues.
- 8:12Speaker 1: One of the issues was Desantas saying, hey, why should
- 8:16Speaker 1: you choose him over Trump? Here's what he had to
- 8:19Speaker 1: say about that in his opening All of You.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Donald Trump is the first ex president in more than
- 8:25Speaker 4: one hundred years to run for the White House again,
- 8:28Speaker 4: and he remains popular among Republican primary voters as his
- 8:32Speaker 4: legal challenges mount. Governor DeSantis, let me begin with you
- 8:35Speaker 4: on this one. Speak to Republican voters who are supporting
- 8:38Speaker 4: Donald Trump, why should you and not him be the
- 8:42Speaker 4: Republican nominee to face Joe Biden a year from now?
- 8:46Speaker 7: This country is in trouble, and the elites that have
- 8:48Speaker 7: put us here, they don't care about you. They don't
- 8:52Speaker 7: care that you're having to grapple with higher grocery prices
- 8:54Speaker 7: or have higher gas prices. They don't care that your
- 8:57Speaker 7: family's less secure because of the open border that's allowed
- 9:00Speaker 7: drugs and even terrorists to come into this country.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Well I care.
- 9:04Speaker 7: I am not going to sit idly by and let
- 9:06Speaker 7: this country continue its downward spiral. We need leadership, and
- 9:10Speaker 7: we need it now. I'll take the hits, I'll take
- 9:13Speaker 7: the arrows, I'll take the slings, because ultimately it's not
- 9:16Speaker 7: about me, it's about you.
- 9:18Speaker 3: I will fight for you.
- 9:20Speaker 7: I will make sure to lead this country's revival, and
- 9:24Speaker 7: I will win for you and your family.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Action speak louder than words.
- 9:28Speaker 7: We don't have time for excuses, and it's not something
- 9:31Speaker 7: that we're going to be able to.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Have all these distractions.
- 9:33Speaker 7: As a veteran, I will get the job done now.
- 9:36Speaker 3: If you look where we are now.
- 9:37Speaker 7: It's a lot different than when we were in twenty sixteen.
- 9:39Speaker 7: And Donald Trump's a lot different guy than he was
- 9:42Speaker 7: in twenty sixteen. He owes it to you to be
- 9:45Speaker 7: on this stage and explain why he should get another chance.
- 9:49Speaker 7: He should explain why he didn't have Mexico pay.
- 9:52Speaker 3: For the border wall.
- 9:53Speaker 7: He should explain why he racked up so much debt.
- 9:56Speaker 7: He should explain why he didn't drain the swamp, and
- 9:58Speaker 7: he said Republicans were going to get tired of winning
- 10:01Speaker 7: what we saw last night. I'm sick of Republicans losing.
- 10:05Speaker 3: In Florida. I showed how it's done one year ago.
- 10:08Speaker 8: Here.
- 10:09Speaker 7: We want a historic victory, including a massive landslide right
- 10:13Speaker 7: here in Miami Dade County.
- 10:15Speaker 3: That's how we have to do it.
- 10:16Speaker 7: So I promise you this, as the nominee next November,
- 10:19Speaker 7: I'll get the job done, and as president, I will
- 10:21Speaker 7: deliver time.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Let me turn to Ambassador Lin.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:27Speaker 1: The end there was probably the best part of his argument.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I've been winning and if you're tired of losing. We
- 10:34Speaker 1: didn't have a great election night two nights ago. It
- 10:39Speaker 1: was average at best. Many think it was an opportunity
- 10:42Speaker 1: where we should have won big. I agree with that,
- 10:44Speaker 1: and we didn't. So what does that mean, Well, I
- 10:47Speaker 1: mean we're losing a lot. You heard Vivek go after
- 10:49Speaker 1: the RNC chairwoman the way that he did. That's a
- 10:52Speaker 1: popular line. But the question is if you're a Trump
- 10:55Speaker 1: supporter and you hear desantists that way, does it make
- 11:02Speaker 1: you say, Okay, I really do like him, like maybe
- 11:06Speaker 1: it is time for me to switch my vote. He
- 11:09Speaker 1: mentioned that you heard the commentator left her Holt there saying,
- 11:13Speaker 1: debate moderator saying, hey, wow, he's got a lot of
- 11:15Speaker 1: legal challenges. That is true. Is that a reason to
- 11:19Speaker 1: abandon him as a candidate? Is that a reason to
- 11:21Speaker 1: stand by him even longer?
- 11:23Speaker 8: Now?
- 11:23Speaker 1: There was also another moment that happened, and it was
- 11:26Speaker 1: a moment for DeSantis that others really liked. I like this.
- 11:30Speaker 1: It was about standing with Israel. It was on the
- 11:32Speaker 1: issue of Israel, and he said I would tell net
- 11:36Speaker 1: Yahoo to finish it, referring to going after the terrorists
- 11:40Speaker 1: that attacked his country.
- 11:41Speaker 7: Listen, I would be telling Bbe finish the job once
- 11:45Speaker 7: and for all with these butchers. Come on, they're terrorists,
- 11:50Speaker 7: their massacring innocent people.
- 11:52Speaker 3: They would wipe.
- 11:53Speaker 7: Every Jew off the globe if they could. He cannot
- 11:56Speaker 7: live with that threat right by his country. That Hamas
- 12:00Speaker 7: should release every hostage and they should unconditionally surrender. I'm
- 12:04Speaker 7: sick of hearing the media. I'm sick of hearing other
- 12:06Speaker 7: people blame Israel just for defending itself. We will stand
- 12:10Speaker 7: with Israel in word and indeed, in public and in private.
- 12:14Speaker 7: And I can tell you, as governor, I actually did
- 12:16Speaker 7: something about it Biden's and the black has been atrocious.
- 12:20Speaker 3: We had Floridians that.
- 12:21Speaker 7: Were over there after the attack.
- 12:23Speaker 3: He left them stranded.
- 12:24Speaker 7: They couldn't get flights out, so I scrambled resources in Florida.
- 12:28Speaker 7: I sent planes over to Israel and I brought back
- 12:31Speaker 7: over seven hundred people to safety. There could have been
- 12:35Speaker 7: more hostages had we not acted.
- 12:37Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this. I met the.
- 12:38Speaker 7: First planeload when they came to Florida and one of
- 12:41Speaker 7: the mothers pointed to a six year old daughter and
- 12:43Speaker 7: she said, my daughter had been saying the last two nights, Mommy,
- 12:47Speaker 7: I don't want to hear any more bombs, no more rockets.
- 12:49Speaker 7: I just want to get back to Florida. So there's
- 12:52Speaker 7: a difference between words and deeds.
- 12:54Speaker 3: We acted and we save lives.
- 12:57Speaker 2: That is presidential, no doubt about it.
- 12:59Speaker 1: And that was a presidential type moment for him when
- 13:02Speaker 1: he said it that way.
- 13:04Speaker 2: I love that.
- 13:05Speaker 1: There was also fight over Vladimir Putin and g and
- 13:09Speaker 1: the idea. Nikki Haley said they are salivating for someone
- 13:12Speaker 1: like Ramaswami to be the president. This Ramaswami, Nikki Haley
- 13:17Speaker 1: wore clearly they're both fighting for the same voters. And
- 13:20Speaker 1: I want you to hear one of the highlighted moments
- 13:22Speaker 1: for Nicki Haley last night. Some said she thought it
- 13:24Speaker 1: was too harsh, that she was too harsh.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Others so they loved it.
- 13:28Speaker 9: Listensident Zelenski's urgent new plea, where do you stand on
- 13:31Speaker 9: more funds?
- 13:32Speaker 3: I'm absolutely unpersuaded, and I'm.
- 13:34Speaker 5: Actually enjoying watching the Ukraine hawks quietly delicately tiptoe back
- 13:38Speaker 5: from their position as this thing has unwound into a disaster.
- 13:42Speaker 5: The first half of this race, I was the only
- 13:44Speaker 5: person standing for it. Now they're actually quietly coming around
- 13:46Speaker 5: to being more cautious as they should. Level with the
- 13:49Speaker 5: American people here. Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy.
- 13:53Speaker 5: This is a country that has banned eleven opposition parties.
- 13:56Speaker 5: It has consolidated all media into one state TV me
- 14:00Speaker 5: ARM that's not democratic. It has threatened not to hold
- 14:02Speaker 5: elections this year unless the US forks over more money.
- 14:05Speaker 5: That is not democratic. It has celebrated a Nazi in
- 14:08Speaker 5: its ranks, the comedian in Cargo Pans a man called
- 14:10Speaker 5: Zelenski do it in their own ranks.
- 14:12Speaker 3: That is not democratic.
- 14:14Speaker 5: More facts for you that you won't hear from the
- 14:16Speaker 5: mainstream in either party or the mainstream media the regions
- 14:20Speaker 5: of Ukraine that are occupied by Russia right now in
- 14:22Speaker 5: the donbas Lo, Hans, Donetsk, these are Russian speaking regions
- 14:27Speaker 5: that have not even been part of Ukraine since twenty fourteen.
- 14:31Speaker 5: That other people probably couldn't name those provinces for you,
- 14:34Speaker 5: those are the hard facts. And so to frame this
- 14:37Speaker 5: as some kind of battle between good versus evil, don't
- 14:40Speaker 5: buy it. And I like the likes of the sharpest
- 14:43Speaker 5: of the warhawks on Ukraine. Nikki Haley to have some
- 14:45Speaker 5: accountability and answer, do you want to use US taxpayer
- 14:49Speaker 5: money to fund the banning of Christians? That is actually
- 14:53Speaker 5: what's happening. They're using the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. They have
- 14:56Speaker 5: banned them. The Ukrainian Parliament just did this last week
- 15:00Speaker 5: by our dollars, and I think you owe it to the.
- 15:01Speaker 3: American people, Nikki, at least this one. Thank you.
- 15:05Speaker 9: That's thank you, mister Ramaswami, thank you. We asked the questions,
- 15:12Speaker 9: Ambassador of Valley, what is your take on more funding
- 15:17Speaker 9: for Ukraine.
- 15:19Speaker 6: I am telling you Putin and President she are salivating
- 15:23Speaker 6: at the thought that someone like that could become president.
- 15:25Speaker 6: They would love to think the matter don't. This is
- 15:29Speaker 6: what I will tell you to talk.
- 15:34Speaker 9: The ambassador has the floor, Thank you.
- 15:36Speaker 6: The first thing I'll tell you is, we all remember
- 15:40Speaker 6: what that thug did when he invaded Ukraine. We all
- 15:44Speaker 6: know that half a million people have died because of Putin.
- 15:48Speaker 6: And here is a freedom loving, pro American country that
- 15:52Speaker 6: is fighting for its survival and its democracy. No, I
- 15:55Speaker 6: don't think we should give them cash. I think we
- 15:57Speaker 6: should give them the equipment and the ammunition to win.
- 16:00Speaker 6: And I'll tell you if Biden had done it when
- 16:01Speaker 6: they first asked for it, this war would be over.
- 16:04Speaker 6: But let's also remember this, when you left Afghanistan in
- 16:09Speaker 6: shambles and left them with a ton of weapons and money,
- 16:12Speaker 6: it's not that we left, it's how we left. When
- 16:15Speaker 6: you look at Ukraine, don't think for a second now
- 16:18Speaker 6: everybody wants to move away from Ukraine. They'll want to
- 16:21Speaker 6: move away from Israel a year from now. America can
- 16:24Speaker 6: never be so arrogant to think we don't need friends.
- 16:27Speaker 6: After nine to eleven, we needed a lot of friends.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Now is the time to get partnerships. This unholy alliance
- 16:33Speaker 6: between Russia, Ukraine and China is real. There is a
- 16:37Speaker 6: reason that Taiwanese want us to support the Ukrainians. It's
- 16:41Speaker 6: because they know that China's coming after them next. There
- 16:43Speaker 6: is a reason Ukrainians want us to support Israelis because
- 16:47Speaker 6: they know that if Iran wins, Russia winsad. We have
- 16:50Speaker 6: to see the combination of this ambassador.
- 16:52Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 16:53Speaker 1: That was one of the big back and forth the night. Obviously,
- 16:56Speaker 1: Haley going after Ramaswami, Ramaswami going out after Haley. Will
- 17:00Speaker 1: it change anyone's mind? I don't know. Is there enough
- 17:04Speaker 1: votes there to pull from one another to matter with
- 17:08Speaker 1: this short stage? And notice I haven't really even mentioned
- 17:12Speaker 1: Christy yet. Chris Christy last night is I actually think
- 17:16Speaker 1: probably the best debater on the stage. And I'm just
- 17:18Speaker 1: talking about style and understanding how to read the room.
- 17:22Speaker 2: He's a very, very, very talented debater.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Chris Christy had a night where it was clear he
- 17:29Speaker 1: was auditioning not to become the President of the United
- 17:32Speaker 1: States of America, but he was auditioning to become a
- 17:35Speaker 1: talk show host on MSNBC.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Why do I say that because of answers like this.
- 17:41Speaker 4: Are you and not former President and Trump?
- 17:44Speaker 2: Well, Leicester.
- 17:45Speaker 8: Look, you said it at the beginning of the debate.
- 17:49Speaker 8: We are dealing with extraordinarily important issues facing this country
- 17:54Speaker 8: right now. We have our greatest ally in the Middle
- 17:58Speaker 8: East under fire from its terrorist group that has committed
- 18:02Speaker 8: to wiping them and every Jewish person in this world
- 18:06Speaker 8: off the map. We have Ukraine with Vladimir Putin, a
- 18:13Speaker 8: communist KGB dictator who wants to put the old band
- 18:16Speaker 8: back together. He's starting in Ukraine and he's going to
- 18:20Speaker 8: move to the Baltics and Poland after that. We have
- 18:23Speaker 8: inflation in this country that is choking, choking every American
- 18:28Speaker 8: family that wants to try to rise up and give
- 18:31Speaker 8: their children a better life. And tonight we need to
- 18:36Speaker 8: decide which president is going to be the one to
- 18:38Speaker 8: tackle the big issues.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Who's going to make this.
- 18:41Speaker 8: Country look once again, not just inward, but look outward
- 18:45Speaker 8: at the world and say America is the country, the
- 18:49Speaker 8: indispensable nation that makes this a safer world and in
- 18:54Speaker 8: a safer world, American innovation, American hard work has always
- 18:58Speaker 8: been the thing that has driven our country to greater things.
- 19:02Speaker 8: I'm going to be the president who will do those
- 19:04Speaker 8: big things. We're not going to be small and I'll
- 19:06Speaker 8: say this about Donald Trump. Anybody who's going to be
- 19:09Speaker 8: spending the next year and a half of their life
- 19:11Speaker 8: focusing on keeping themselves out of jail in courtrooms cannot
- 19:14Speaker 8: lead this party or this country.
- 19:16Speaker 2: It needs to be said.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Playing the governor, thank.
- 19:18Speaker 1: You, let me turn this centator, this skin now, I
- 19:20Speaker 1: said that that was a answer for a TV show,
- 19:25Speaker 1: right trying to get his own show. I think that's
- 19:27Speaker 1: his end game here. Let me prove why I believe that.
- 19:31Speaker 1: And I'm going to prove it obviously very quickly, because
- 19:33Speaker 1: you can't make this up. First show he does MSNBC
- 19:37Speaker 1: the morning after debate. What did he say on MSNBC
- 19:40Speaker 1: knowing that audience listen.
- 19:43Speaker 10: So what do you make of the Democrats' big wins
- 19:46Speaker 10: in Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia on Tuesday night? And what
- 19:51Speaker 10: do Republicans need to do to try and even compete?
- 19:57Speaker 8: Well, it shows that he's continued electoral and political poison, Mika.
- 20:02Speaker 8: I mean, you know, the Daniel Cameron race a Kentucky
- 20:05Speaker 8: is one example, but in Virginia as well, even with
- 20:08Speaker 8: a popular governor in Glenn Youngkin, you can't overcome the
- 20:13Speaker 8: stench of Donald Trump's political narcissism. That's the bottom line.
- 20:19Speaker 8: And you know that's why. You know, folks at the RNC,
- 20:23Speaker 8: who are two thirds of them are Donald Trump's supporters.
- 20:27Speaker 8: They don't want any out of opposition to him on
- 20:30Speaker 8: a debate stage. But you know the fact is, I'm
- 20:32Speaker 8: not going anywhere, and I'm going to continue to bring
- 20:35Speaker 8: the case to him and against him because he's wrong
- 20:38Speaker 8: for our country and wrong for our party.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Wrong for our country and wrong for our party. I'll
- 20:45Speaker 1: continue to bring the case to him and against him. Now,
- 20:49Speaker 1: Chris Christy has no chance of winning this thing, So
- 20:52Speaker 1: why are you still up there? I really do believe
- 20:55Speaker 1: this is straight up for his next gig.
- 20:59Speaker 2: And his lines.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Anybody who's spending time focusing to keep himself out of
- 21:03Speaker 1: jail cannot lead this country.
- 21:06Speaker 2: You just gave a game plan to these.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Marxists, Communist socialists in our government in the deep state.
- 21:12Speaker 2: If you use Chris Christie's.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Definition of success or failure, then the Democrats are just
- 21:21Speaker 1: going to indict every single and go after legally in
- 21:24Speaker 1: civil cases, whatever it takes to get people off the
- 21:27Speaker 1: debate stage and say, oh, you can't be president anymore,
- 21:32Speaker 1: or you can't run for office anymore. You can't be
- 21:34Speaker 1: a center anymore, you can't be a governor anymore. That's
- 21:37Speaker 1: all they're going to do. They're going to do this
- 21:40Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over and
- 21:42Speaker 1: over and over and over again. They're going to keep
- 21:46Speaker 1: saying it, and they're going to keep doing it if
- 21:49Speaker 1: it means they can take people out and then they
- 21:51Speaker 1: don't even have to run against our best candidates. That's
- 21:54Speaker 1: why Chris Christie is such a useful idiot. He is
- 21:58Speaker 1: a useful idiot for the Democrat. And by the way,
- 22:01Speaker 1: they'll even smack him around on the issue of abortion.
- 22:04Speaker 1: For example, it got very heated with.
- 22:08Speaker 2: You know, Mia, whatever the hell her last name is.
- 22:12Speaker 1: She said this about the abortion issue last night or
- 22:16Speaker 1: this morning, I should say, to Chris Christy and smacked
- 22:19Speaker 1: him around for flip flopping as she described it.
- 22:21Speaker 10: Listen, Yeah, another issue that you talked about last night
- 22:26Speaker 10: was abortion. You and I disagree on this issue, but
- 22:29Speaker 10: the one thing you keep saying is you keep talking
- 22:31Speaker 10: about abortion in the ninth month, which is allowed in
- 22:34Speaker 10: your state. And last time I asked you to bring
- 22:37Speaker 10: me the case where a woman walked into a doctor's
- 22:40Speaker 10: office in the ninth month and said I've decided to
- 22:43Speaker 10: don't want to have a baby. Please take this out.
- 22:45Speaker 10: It doesn't happen. Less than one percent of abortions are
- 22:49Speaker 10: performed after twenty one weeks, and if there is a
- 22:52Speaker 10: situation like that, it's because there is a massive emergency.
- 22:56Speaker 10: So I just think of all the candidates, you've been
- 22:58Speaker 10: the most honest about Trump and election integrity. But in
- 23:03Speaker 10: this one respect, I have to call you out because
- 23:06Speaker 10: you're not being honest on the issue. We can debate abortion,
- 23:09Speaker 10: but there isn't abortion in the ninth month.
- 23:13Speaker 8: Mika, you're the one who's not being honest. I did
- 23:16Speaker 8: not say there was abortion in the ninth month. What
- 23:19Speaker 8: I said was that the law in New Jersey and
- 23:22Speaker 8: New York and Illinois and California permits it. And you
- 23:27Speaker 8: can't deny that that's the truth because it is and
- 23:30Speaker 8: so and so.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Look, it doesn't know.
- 23:32Speaker 8: Don't call somebody a liar, don't call don't By the way, no, no, no, Mika,
- 23:39Speaker 8: nor did I say that issue?
- 23:42Speaker 2: Well, well, let's have it on.
- 23:44Speaker 8: Well, let's have an honest discussion about it doesn't happen.
- 23:46Speaker 3: You answer my.
- 23:47Speaker 8: Question, why don't you answer my question, does the law
- 23:50Speaker 8: permit it in those states? Well, that's all I said,
- 23:52Speaker 8: So I don't understand what your problem is with that.
- 23:55Speaker 8: In the end, if that's what the law permits, that's
- 23:57Speaker 8: what the people who passed those laws.
- 23:59Speaker 3: Said, is okay.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Is legally come with Chris, that's.
- 24:02Speaker 10: Your pointed a picture about the issue of abortion that
- 24:06Speaker 10: is not honest. And this is a health issue, and
- 24:09Speaker 10: there are women extreme situations who need health care and
- 24:15Speaker 10: they should get it.
- 24:16Speaker 3: We can debate that your pay.
- 24:18Speaker 10: There are women in the state of New Jersey into
- 24:22Speaker 10: doctor's offices asking for abortions in the ninth month, it
- 24:25Speaker 10: doesn't it happened.
- 24:27Speaker 8: And and by the way, you know, you could continue
- 24:30Speaker 8: to set up that straw man for yourself to knock
- 24:32Speaker 8: it down because you're mischaracterizing what I said. I am
- 24:36Speaker 8: giving you the state of the law, and the state
- 24:39Speaker 8: of the law in those states are that you could
- 24:42Speaker 8: go into a doctor's office and do it. And that's
- 24:45Speaker 8: all I said. But look, you know this is something
- 24:48Speaker 8: that you want to.
- 24:49Speaker 1: By the way, I love how Chris Christy there tries
- 24:51Speaker 1: to get mad, but he should have just he should
- 24:53Speaker 1: have unloaded on her and continued to unload on her
- 24:56Speaker 1: and continued to unload on her, and he didn't. She
- 25:01Speaker 1: absolutely is lying there, she's misrepresenting the facts there, and
- 25:04Speaker 1: he took it. And that's why he's a week leader.
- 25:08Speaker 1: He is a Week Leader for that reason. And this
- 25:11Speaker 1: is why his best chance coming out of this is
- 25:13Speaker 1: that somebody gives him a job at MSNBC as a
- 25:16Speaker 1: woke liberal, fake Republican.
- 25:18Speaker 2: That's the truth.
