Transcripts

quarter of the country are

Independence now last time both Biden

and Trump came to that election with

equal bases but Biden won independence

by 13 points and that was the difference

so Trump now has to unite his party then

rally the independence well how does he

do that policies both of you young

ladies I was talking back and forth with

you and you said look you would vote for

Nicki Haley that's someone that you can

see yourself voting for but you said if

it gets between Nikki Haley

I'm sorry Donald Trump and Joe Biden

again you will vote for who I will vote

for President Biden I have five

grandchildren four of them are girls and

I'm very concerned about women's issues

and democracy wow say it with me that's

going to oh that's got to hurt in the

wake of the New Hampshire primary this

past week there have been quite a few

takeaways first of all we were able to

establish Common Ground between Joe

Biden and GOP candidate Nikki Haley both

of them are 100% convinced that Nikki

Haley is not in fact Nancy Pelosi you

can't say the same for the other

candidate last night Trump is at a rally

you know Nikki H Nikki haly Nikki Haley

and he's going on and on mentioning me

multiple times as to why I didn't handle

January 6 better Nikki Haley is in

charge of security we offered her 10,000

people they don't want to talk about

that I wasn't in office then they're

saying you got confused you have voter

ID need to buy a loaf of bread you have

you have to buy a loaf of bread

what what is I'm driving over a road

where it's almost all paper and you know

you can see paper I know paper I know

cans but all the time now we see whales

washing up on shore because of the wind

got confused he got confused and said he

was running against Obama he never ran

against Obama put our country at risk

like this I'm Joe Biden and I approve

this message we watched live as a grown

man plunged to new levels of cringe to

Kiss the Ring she actually appointed you

Tim and think of it appointed and you're

the senator of his State and she

endorsed

me you must really hate her no it's uh

it's a shame it's a

uh-oh I just love you no that's and we

were offered a stark reminder of the

sheer misogyny that fuels the coal fire

that is Donald Trump and when I watched

her in the fancy dress that probably

wasn't so fancy but aside from that

statistically the takeaways don't bold

well for the Maga crowd so much so that

not only were many folks News hosts

forced to admit that the New Hampshire

primary proved to be a stronger showing

President Biden versus Trump you know

one of the questions that's on my mind

is this issue of sort of the Quasi

incumbency right because the argument is

if you treat him like an incumbent he

should be around 80

84% right he should have almost all the

Republican votes but he's not and he's

running against people who are giving

him a little bit of a run for his money

so Brit how do you how do you judge that

how do you figure out whether or not he

has enough growth potential to beat

Biden if you think of him as an

incumbent this showing tonight's weak

right I mean he should be doing better

and it's also a sign of weakness that

The Independents and others who voted in

this primary were unwelcomed by not

welcomed by the Trump campaign and by a

lot of his supporters this was actually

a fairly good night for Joe Biden when

you look at our voter analysis only 10%

said I would not vote for Joe Biden if

he's the nominee he want a plurality of

Voters who said he was too old he want a

majority of Voters who are upset about

the Gaza War so the divides in the

Democrat Party and this is a small

sample size but perhaps aren't as Stark

as one would think Nicki Haley voters

said I would not vote for Trump but many

Republican voters that they interviewed

vowed to vote across party lines if it

meant keeping Trump out of office both

of you young ladies I was talking back

and forth with you and you said look you

would vote for Nikki haly that's someone

that you can see yourself voting for but

you said if it gets between Nikki Haley

uh I'm sorry Donald Trump and Joe Biden

again you will vote for who I will vote

for President Biden I have five

grandchildren four of them are girls and

I'm very concerned about women's issues

and democracy than thank some New

Hampshire voters are grateful for

President Biden's forgiveness efforts I

wasn't able to pay my loans back or so

many years and they went to default and

that was holding me back from being able

to go to college again which I want to

do so this helped me out with with my

credit as well College loan forgiveness

is one issue that all the GOP candidates

agree on none of them are for student

loan forgiveness they all oppose it but

the thing is this is not just anecdotal

evidence either while merely 10% of

democratic voters said that they

wouldn't vote for Joe Biden despite many

in the media leading voters to believe

that there is a quarry siiz divide in

the Democratic party seven in 10 Nikki

Haley voters said that they will not

vote for Trump even if he's the nominee

well I voted for Nikki Haley because I

was Voting against Donald Trump and what

what propelled you to get to this point

I want to uh 74 years old I've lived in

a constitutional democracy all my life I

want to remain that way and I want my

grandchildren to grow up in one on a

dictatorship and I'm curious over the

last two elections um have you voted

Trump in the past was it something where

you voted for him you trusted him and

you were disappointed yes I voted for

him in 2016 I am a registered Republican

and I I regretted that vote almost

immediately this was familiar to a trend

set in Iowa were nearly half of those

who backed GOP candidate Nikki Haley

said that they would vote for President

Biden over Trump in a general election

Republican voters in New Hampshire

expressed major concerns about Trump

with one CBS News poll showing that 47%

of Republicans primary voters said they

believe Trump would be unfit to serve as

president if he were to be convicted in

one of his many upcoming criminal trials

proving that this interview while grade

a viewing entertainment is not an

anomaly it's actually indicative of the

Divide between Republican voters between

those who don't align with the extreme

Maga agenda Joe Biden it's the first

right in campaign in history what

happened in New Hampshire he's on track

to get more votes than Barack Obama did

in 2012 you talk about Dean Phillips he

got 20% sure but let's talk about the

unity there's only 10% of democratic

voters self-reporting this that would

not support Joe Biden we are completely

unified do you expect from an incumbent

right I mean that that's a normal in but

we've been talking about Donald Trump as

a quasi incumbent at least he has a

record to run on right he's acting like

he's an incumbent he actually thinks

that he won in 2020 so he's like half an

incumbent and he 50% he gets 50,000

votes and 70% of his competitors uh

voters won't even uh go for him but I

hear about this basement campaign all

the time from 2020 and even from now we

we don't see Joe Biden and it's shocking

that we get all this footage somehow but

he is out there and he's doing

meaningful things he was the united with

the United Auto Workers today getting

their endorsement and the president

talking about how Donald Trump when they

had a strike in 2019 didn't do anything

yesterday he had a rally for

Reproductive Rights in Virginia it's

going to be a crucial issue for us

Monday the reproductive healthc care

access Tas Force the US Conference of

Mayors last Friday he went to Raleigh on

Thursday to talk about brand Broadband

access and to meet with an educator who

had his student loans forgiven and the

impact it's had with his family and by

the way theyve made some very meaningful

content um out of all of that the man is

not hiding and he's doing well and

Democrats are happy with their choice

and you don't have to just look at necki

Haley voters to see this divide I mean

look at the split in the house to

everything from the speaker to the

bipartisan B bill that many Republicans

want to send to President Biden's desk

do you think this is what he wants the

issue Donald Trump this is what he's I

think I think the border is a very

important issue for Donald Trump uh and

the fact that he would communicate to uh

Republican Senators and Congress people

that he doesn't want us to solve the

Border problem because he wants to blame

uh Biden for it is uh is really

appalling but the but the reality is

that that we have a crisis at the border

the American people are suffering as a

result of uh what's happening at the

border uh and someone running for

president ought to try and get the you

know the problem solved as opposed to

saying hey save that problem don't solve

it uh let me take credit for solving it

later but I found very interesting

reporting we're getting today that

Donald Trump and his allies are

pressuring republicans in Congress not

to come to some sort of compromise on

the border and immigration we actually

know that they're getting pretty close

senators from both parties are working

very hard here yesterday Mitch McConnell

told the Republican caucus that they're

in a tough position because Trump

doesn't actually want Biden to be able

to quote get a win on this by signing

something even though signing that piece

of bipartisan legislation would help

with the Border wouldn't fix it HR but

it would help there are a lot of there

are a lot of Republicans who believe

that this compromise Democrats control

the Senate and Republicans control the

house we have to compromise they are

close Donald Trump is telling his allies

not to vote for it so he can run on it

in November that to me is D eltion of

Duty Biden is ready to sign something if

Congress will send it to him but can't

because the rest would rather put Trump

over country and do what he says Mitch

mcconell I thought that was shameful

what was reported out that he's just

completely rolling over and capitulating

don't even get me started with the

weakness of the current Speaker of the

House I mean they don't want to deal

period full stop they don't want to deal

they don't want to make this quote

unquote campaign win for Joe Biden it

says everything you need to know about

the fraud that they're perpetuating on

the issue of the Border they want to

make this a political issue consistently

they have wanted to make it ever since

there were a few brave souls with that

gang of eight if we all remember those

black and white movie I'm old enough to

remember that and ever since there

everyone they just walk away they run

away the first day he was in office not

not the next day the same day he gets

sworn in he puts out a comprehensive

immigration plan that was and yet you

didn't have a counter they had no

strategy in terms of of the Republican

Party even even combating that they just

wanted to kill it love this video make
