VOTES, AND INSTEAD OF APPEALING
TO A WIDER MINISTRY AUDIENCE
DOUBLES DOWN ON HIS THREATS OF
POLITICAL VIOLENCE.
JOINING ME NOW FROM THE JOE
BIDEN CAMPAIGN’S COMMUNICATIONS
DIRECTOR MICHAEL TYLER.
WE CALLED YOU THIS MORNING AND
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE
TIME.
YOUR STATEMENT FROM THE CAMPAIGN
MAKES THAT VERY CLEAR.
IT WAS NOT YOUR NAME BUT THE
STATEMENT FROM THE CAMPAIGN
MAKES IT CLEAR WHAT THE
CAMPAIGN WAS THINKING. WHEN YOU
HEARD THE FULL CONTEXT AND WHEN
YOU SAW THOSE COMMENTS AT THAT
RALLY, WHAT DID YOU HEAR?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
JEN.
WHAT I HEARD WAS THE SAME
ENDORSEMENT OF POLITICAL
VIOLENCE WE HAVE SEEN FROM
DONALD TRUMP FOR YEARS AND GOES
FARTHER BACK.
THE SAME GUY, AFTER NAZIS
MARCHED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
UNTIL THE WOMAN, SAID THERE
WERE FIVE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES
AND TOLD THE PROUD BOYS TO
STAND BACK AND STAND BY.
NOW, EVERY DAY ON THE STUMP HE
IS CHAMPIONING AND PRAISING THE
INSURRECTIONIST WILL BE
ENCOURAGED TO VIOLENTLY STORM
THE CAPITOL IN AN ATTEMPT TO
OVERTHROW OUR DEMOCRACY.
IT IS NOT JUST ONE COMMENT IT
IS WHO DONALD TRUMP IS AND THE
THREAT HE POSES TO OUR
DEMOCRACY EVERY DAY.
THE PROBLEM FOR DONALD TRUMP IS
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SAW WHAT
HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6th AND
RESPONDED CONSISTENTLY.
THEY RESPONDED IN 2022 WHEN
DEMOCRATS HAVE THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL MIDTERM CYCLE FOR A
DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT SINCE FDR
AND RESPONDED LAST YEAR IN
STATES LIKE KENTUCKY, OHIO,
VIRGINIA, THE FALL ELECTIONS,
AND RESPONDING RIGHT NOW WHICH
IS WHY WE ARE IN THE FRONT FOOT
HEADING INTO THE GENERAL
ELECTION BECAUSE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT JOE BIDEN
HAS DONE TO FIGHT ON BEHALF OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THEY
SEE EVERY DAY THE THREAT DONALD
TRUMP POSES IF HE REGAINS
POWER.
HE IS TALKING EVERY DAY ABOUT
TEARING DOWN THE FABRIC OF OUR
DEMOCRACY AND ENACTING
POLITICAL REVENGE IF HE IS ABLE
TO SERVE AS A DICTATOR AS HE
PROMISES TO DO.
>> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
SMART AND HAVE BEEN WATCHING
HIM USE THIS RHETORIC
CONSISTENTLY FOR MONTHS AND
YEARS.
THE DONALD TRUMP TEAM CLAIMS,
WHICH I DON’T BUY INTO, THIS IS
ALL IN THE CONTEXT OF A RIFF
ABOUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
I THINK THAT -- I WANT TO GET
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT CLAIM.
>> I THINK THE CLAIM IS
NONSENSE BECAUSE, EVERY DAY, HE
IS TALKING ABOUT ENACTING
POLITICAL REVENGE, EVERY DAY HE
IS PRAISING POLITICAL VIOLENCE
WE SAW IN 2020.
THE IDEA THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE
TO SPEND THEIR WAY OUT OF THIS
SPIN THEIR-- WAY OUT OF THIS IS
RIDICULOUS BECAUSE EVERY DAY
DONALD TRUMP IS ENDORSING AND
ENCOURAGING POLITICAL VIOLENCE
ON THE STUMP.
IT IS DANGEROUS AND THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE REJECT IT. IF
WE CONTRAST THE VIOLENCE, THE
DANGER, THE CHAOS, THE DIVISION
DONALD TRUMP IS PREACHING EVERY
DAY ON THE STUMP AGAINST JOE
BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT
HARRIS, THAT IS POSITIVE VISION
FOR BRINGING AMERICANS TOGETHER
IN PURSUIT OF PROGRESS.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL REJECT
IT.
IT IS DANGEROUS, BUT WE HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN THE DECENCY OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO REJECT
THE EXTREMISM WE SEE FROM
DONALD TRUMP.
>> THE SAME PEOPLE SAY THIS IS
OUT OF CONTEXT HAVE NOT
CONDEMNED THE OTHER DOZENS OF
TIMES HE HAS MADE COMMENTS THAT
PROMPT POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN
OUR POLITICAL -- THE PRESIDENT
HAS BEEN VERY VOCAL, FORCEFUL
--
>> HE HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR
YEARS.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN
FORCEFUL FROM THE RIGHT WING
HAS A THEORY HE IS ON DRUGS
WHICH IS HILARIOUS AND CRAZY.
HE HAS BEEN FORCEFUL IN CALLING
OUT AND CONDEMNING THE LANGUAGE
OF DONALD TRUMP AND HAS BEEN
FOR YEARS BUT HAS UPPED IT.
WILL HE ADDRESS THIS
SPECIFICALLY ON THE TRAIL IN A
WEST COAST SWING LATER THIS WEEK
?
>> YES, THE PRESIDENT SAID IT
GOING BACK TO THE STATE OF
UNION BEFORE THESE LATEST
COMMENTS. HE SAID THE POLITICAL
VIOLENCE SHOULD NEVER BE
ACCEPTABLE IN THE UNITED STATES
AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO DO
THAT.
WE HAVE BEEN CARRIED THE SAME
MESSAGE SINCE THE STATE OF
UNION.
THE PRESIDENT WAS IN
PENNSYLVANIA, GEORGIA,
WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, GOING TO
NEVADA AND ARIZONA THIS WEEK
WHERE HE WILL CONTINUE TO
CONTRAST THESE TWO
FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT VISIONS
FOR WHERE WE WANT TO TAKE THE
COUNTRY.
THE PRESIDENT IS TALKING ABOUT
BUILDING ON HIS HISTORIC RECORD
OF ACCOMPLISHMENT FROM 50
MILLION JOBS, 800,000
MANUFACTURING JOBS, LOWERING
COST AND DELIVERY FOR THE
MARKET PEOPLE CONTRASTING THAT
AGAINST THE CHAOS AND DIVISION
AND VIOLENCE ENDORSED BY DONALD
TRUMP AND PROMISING TO BRING
BACK IF HE REGAINS POWER.
THAT IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL
TALK ABOUT ON THE STUMP AND
WILL PROVIDE TO THE MARKET
PEOPLE FROM NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER.
>> SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY HEAR MORE
FROM HIM ABOUT THIS.
MICHAEL, MIKE PENCE, THE FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT OF DONALD TRUMP,
HE SAID HE WOULD NOT ENDORSE
DONALD TRUMP.
TODAY, HE SAID DONALD TRUMP
CALLING JANUARY 6
INSURRECTIONIST HOSTAGES IS
UNACCEPTABLE.
WHAT IS THE CAMPAIGN DOING TO
USE COMMENTS LIKE THAT TO YOUR
ADVANTAGE?
>> IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT
OUT THAT THE COMMENTS BY MIKE
PENCE ARE THE LATEST IN A
LITANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW
DONALD TRUMP CLOSEST WHEN HE
WAS IN POWER IN THE OVAL OFFICE
WHETHER IT IS MIKE PENCE OR
BILL BARR, THESE PEOPLE WORK
WITH HIM EVERY DAY AND KNOWS HE
DOES NOT HAVE THE TEMPERAMENT,
DOES NOT HAVE THE JUDGMENT,
DOES NOT HAVE THE VALUE TO STEP
FOOT IN THE OVAL OFFICE AGAIN.
IT SPEAKS TO THE CONTINUED
PROBLEM DONALD TRUMP HAS GIVEN
HIS INABILITY TO EXPAND HIS
APPEAL BEYOND THE HARD-CORE
MAGA BASE.
NIKKI HALEY VOTERS IN GEORGIA
OR NORTH CAROLINA OR MICHIGAN
WHERE DONALD TRUMP CONTINUES TO
DEMONSTRATE AN INABILITY TO GO
BEYOND THE CEILING. HE
STRUGGLES IN KEY SUBURBAN
COUNTIES THAT WILL BE CRUCIAL TOWARDS THE PATHWAY TO 270
ELECTORAL VOTES.
IF YOU SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS
THAT THESE PEOPLE DO WHO
UNDERSTAND THE THREAT HE POSES
TO OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE THREAT
HE POSES TO PROGRESS, THERE IS
A HOME FOR ALL OF YOU IN THE
CAMPAIGN OF JOE BIDEN AND WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO
JOEBIDEN.COM AND SIGN UP.
