I KNOW WHEN HE WALKS OUT, YU

00:06.754 --> 00:08.157

THANK YOU.

00:09.779 --> 00:12.153
JOINING ME NOW IS REPUBLICAN

00:12.164 --> 00:13.427
CONGRESSMAN CARLOS GIMENEZ

00:13.462 --> 00:15.281
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
>> MY PLEASURE

00:15.383 --> 00:16.148
DAILY.

00:16.159 --> 00:25.472
LET ME GET YOUR REACTION TO

00:25.474 --> 00:29.506
DONALD TRUMP HAS CHOSEN JD VANCE

00:29.517 --> 00:31.592
AS HIS RUNNING MATE.

00:31.603 --> 00:33.201
I KNOW YOU WERE PULLING FO

00:33.235 --> 00:34.558
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO.

00:34.569 --> 00:36.852
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW HE

00:36.887 --> 00:38.337
COULD HAVE BEEN AN INCREDIBL

00:38.348 --> 00:39.043
STRONG CHOICE.

00:39.044 --> 00:40.171
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?

00:40.182 --> 00:41.255
ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED

00:41.290 --> 00:43.538
>> NO, I WAS PULLING FOR RUBIO

00:43.549 --> 00:45.520
AND THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A GREA

00:45.521 --> 00:47.988
CHOICE BUT I ALSO SAID WE HAVE A

00:47.999 --> 00:49.853
REALLY DEEP BENCH AND WE WILL BE

00:49.855 --> 00:51.577
UNITING AROUND THE PRESIDENT

00:51.588 --> 00:53.774
WE ARE GOING TO BE UNITING

00:53.808 --> 00:54.568
AROUND THIS TICKET

00:54.569 --> 00:57.330
NOW WE KNOW THE TICKET AND W

00:57.341 --> 01:00.785
WILL GO OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT

01:00.787 --> 01:03.415
THIS TICKET, TRUMP, AND JD VANCE

01:03.426 --> 01:06.245
GET SWORN IN IN JANUARY OF 2025.

01:06.256 --> 01:08.598
>> WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOU

01:08.599 --> 01:10.618
CRITICS OF JD VANCE INSIDE O

01:10.629 --> 01:12.760
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WER

01:12.771 --> 01:14.202
CONCERNED THAT HE WOULD NO

01:14.203 --> 01:15.531
NECESSARILY BOLSTER THE TICKET

01:15.542 --> 01:16.661
HE BASICALLY REPRESENTS TH

01:16.672 --> 01:18.323
FUTURE OF THE MAGA MOVEMENT.

01:18.324 --> 01:20.995
HE HAS A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM

01:21.029 --> 01:23.178
DONALD TRUMP JR., SOME OTHER

01:23.189 --> 01:24.103
FOLKS INSIDE DONALD TRUMP’

01:24.104 --> 01:24.746
ORBIT.

01:24.781 --> 01:29.049
DOES HE HELP EXPAND TH

01:29.060 --> 01:31.342
ELECTORAL MAP, OHIO WOULD GO FOR

01:31.353 --> 01:32.580
TRUMP IT SEEMS

01:32.591 --> 01:33.948
>> IT HELPS TRUMP IN THE

01:33.982 --> 01:34.681
MIDWEST.

01:34.692 --> 01:39.280
WE KNOW WE NEED TO MAKE SURE W

01:39.291 --> 01:41.716
GET OHIO AND PRETTY MUCH WE WILL

01:41.717 --> 01:42.779
BE OKAY WITH

01:42.790 --> 01:45.180
BUT WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, E

01:45.215 --> 01:47.647
CETERA, THOSE ARE THE STATES W

01:47.658 --> 01:49.817
NEED FOR TRUMP TO WIN.

01:49.828 --> 01:51.423
I THINK JD VANCE GIVES US AN

01:51.457 --> 01:53.202
OPPORTUNITY IN THE STATES.

01:53.213 --> 01:56.416
HE IS THE FUTURE OF THE PARTY.

01:56.418 --> 01:59.564
HE IS YOUNG GUY, 40 YEARS OLD,

01:59.598 --> 02:00.913
VETERAN, MARINE CORPS, BUT ALS

02:00.924 --> 02:02.961
PRETTY SAVVY

02:02.962 --> 02:06.476
HE’S GOT A DEGREE FROM YALE LA

02:06.477 --> 02:06.994
SCHOOL

02:06.995 --> 02:08.350
HE’S A SMART GUY

02:08.384 --> 02:10.633
HE’S AN AUTHOR, CAPITALIST AND

02:10.644 --> 02:12.049
KNOWS HOW TO TALK TO YOUNG

02:12.050 --> 02:12.725
PEOPLE

02:12.736 --> 02:16.471
HE EXPANDS THE BASE IN THAT WAY.

02:16.472 --> 02:18.275
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH

02:18.286 --> 02:19.214
HIM AFTER HE BECOMES VIC

02:19.248 --> 02:19.710
PRESIDENT.

02:19.721 --> 02:24.627
>> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THAT

02:24.629 --> 02:27.136
DO YOU HAVE CONCERNS THAT HE I

02:27.170 --> 02:27.629
UNTESTED

02:27.640 --> 02:29.588
AS YOU SAY, HE IS YOUNG, ONL

02:29.589 --> 02:30.734
SECOND YEAR IN THE SENATE.

02:30.745 --> 02:32.596
IS THERE A CONCERN THAT IF THERE

02:32.630 --> 02:37.603
IS A CRISIS ON THE WORLD STAGE

02:37.614 --> 02:41.559
THAT HE WOULDN’T HAVE TH

02:41.593 --> 02:43.492
FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE THAT A

02:43.503 --> 02:45.179
MARCO RUBIO WOULD BRING?

02:45.190 --> 02:46.531
>> EVERYONE BRINGS SOMETHING

02:46.532 --> 02:49.892
DIFFERENT TO THE TICKET.

02:49.893 --> 02:51.880
HE WILL BE LEARNING.

02:51.881 --> 02:53.190
IT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP.

02:53.191 --> 02:55.401
I EXPECT A FOUR YEAR

02:55.412 --> 02:56.578
APPRENTICESHIP AND THEN

02:56.613 --> 02:58.180
BELIEVE HE WILL PROBABLY BE --

02:58.191 --> 02:59.273
IF DONALD TRUMP BECOMES TH

02:59.274 --> 03:00.654
PRESIDENT WHICH I BELIEVE HE

03:00.655 --> 03:02.101
WILL BE, HE WILL BE TH

03:02.102 --> 03:03.216
PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE BECAUSE HE

03:03.250 --> 03:05.043
WILL HAVE FOUR YEARS UNDER HIS

03:05.054 --> 03:06.094
BELT UNDER DONALD TRUMP AND HE

03:06.128 --> 03:08.099
WILL CONTINUE THAT

03:08.110 --> 03:10.995
WE NEED TO CHANGE THE DIRECTIO

03:11.006 --> 03:12.881
OF THIS COUNTRY AND NOT IN JUS

03:12.892 --> 03:13.300
FOUR YEARS

03:13.311 --> 03:14.483
IT WILL TAKE LONGER.

03:14.518 --> 03:15.939
PEOPLE MAY DISAGREE WITH ME ON

03:15.950 --> 03:17.961
THAT BUT I’M CONVINCED WE NEED

03:17.995 --> 03:19.129
TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THI

03:19.140 --> 03:19.557
COUNTRY.

03:19.558 --> 03:22.254
DONALD TRUMP WILL START THAT

03:22.288 --> 03:24.526
PROCESS AND JD VANCE OR SOMEON

03:24.537 --> 03:25.595
ELSE WILL FINISH THIS FO

03:25.596 --> 03:26.401
PRESIDENT TRUMP.

03:26.412 --> 03:29.554
>> LET ME TALK TO YOU ABOUT TH

03:29.565 --> 03:31.635
BROADER CONTEXT IN WHICH WE AR

03:31.669 --> 03:32.944
SITTING HERE

03:32.955 --> 03:36.099
THIS COMES OF COURSE DAYS AFTE

03:36.133 --> 03:36.955
THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMP

03:36.966 --> 03:38.491
AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

03:38.502 --> 03:41.801
HE HAS TALKED ABOUT THE FACT

03:41.802 --> 03:43.753
THAT HE BELIEVES HE WAS SAVED BY

03:43.787 --> 03:44.163
GOD.

03:44.174 --> 03:47.297
I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO FOLKS WHO

03:47.308 --> 03:49.180
ARE CLOSE TO HIM WHO SAY HE IS

03:49.181 --> 03:50.358
MORE CONTEMPLATIVE NOW

03:50.360 --> 03:52.480
HE FEELS LIKE HE HAS A SECON

03:52.481 --> 03:53.692
LEASE ON LIFE.

03:53.726 --> 03:55.028
HE SAYS HE IS OVERHAULING HI

03:55.029 --> 03:55.738
SPEECH

03:55.749 --> 03:58.343
HOW DO YOU THINK THE HORRIFI

03:58.377 --> 04:00.011
EVENTS THAT UNFOLDED I

04:00.022 --> 04:01.271
PENNSYLVANIA WILL IMPACT HIS

04:01.282 --> 04:02.038
SPEECH AND THIS ENTIRE

04:02.049 --> 04:02.700
CONVENTION

04:02.701 --> 04:05.191
>> I THINK ANY TIME YOU GO

04:05.192 --> 04:07.427
THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT,

04:07.438 --> 04:12.165
WHEN YOU ARE THAT CLOSE TO

04:12.200 --> 04:15.477
DYING, I THINK IT HAS TO MAK

04:15.488 --> 04:17.007
YOU MORE SPIRITUAL

04:17.041 --> 04:18.998
IF HE HADN’T TURNED HIS HEAD

04:19.009 --> 04:20.689
RIGHT AT THE TIME, FATE,

04:20.724 --> 04:24.001
INTERVENTION OF GOD, BY TH

04:24.002 --> 04:27.556
GRACE OF GOD, HE IS ALIVE.

04:27.567 --> 04:30.954
THAT WILL -- I KNOW HIM NOT AS A

04:30.965 --> 04:32.349
POLITICIAN BUT I HAVE BEEN

04:32.384 --> 04:34.765
AROUND HIM AND TOTALLY DIFFERENT

04:34.776 --> 04:36.944
THAN WHAT A LOT OF PEOPL

04:36.955 --> 04:38.350
PORTEND HIM TO BE.

04:38.384 --> 04:39.829
HERE’S WHAT I THINK.

04:39.840 --> 04:43.564
AMERICA IS FACING SOME GREAT

04:43.598 --> 04:45.092
CHALLENGES NOT ONLY INTERNALLY

04:45.103 --> 04:46.428
BUT AROUND THE WORLD

04:46.462 --> 04:48.449
THE ONLY WAY AMERICANS WIL

04:48.460 --> 04:49.477
SURVIVE AND OVERCOME THE

04:49.511 --> 04:51.109
CHALLENGES IS UNITED

04:51.120 --> 04:52.891
I WOULD EXPECT A MESSAGE O

04:52.892 --> 04:55.584
UNITY COMING FROM OUR NOMINEE.

04:55.585 --> 04:58.844
I EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE

04:58.845 --> 05:00.186
CHANGE, A LITTLE BIT, SOME

05:00.197 --> 05:02.235
CHANGE IN HIS MESSAGE.

05:02.269 --> 05:05.794
I THINK IT WILL BE ONE OF UNITY.

05:05.805 --> 05:07.156
WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER

05:07.167 --> 05:09.010
AMERICA IS STRONGER TOGETHER

05:09.021 --> 05:10.661
AMERICA NEEDS TO BE STRONG

05:10.695 --> 05:11.672
BECAUSE WE ARE FACING BI

05:11.683 --> 05:12.090
CHALLENGES

05:12.092 --> 05:13.780
>> YOU HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF

05:13.814 --> 05:17.577
FORMER TRUMP, SOME OF HI
ETORIC IN THE PAST WHEN YO

05:17.588 --> 05:19.516
ETORIC IN THE PAST WHEN YO

05:19.550 --> 05:24.041
HAVE FELT IT IS NOT BEEN A

05:24.052 --> 05:25.446
UNIFYING MESSAGE

05:25.457 --> 05:30.507
DO YOU THINK THAT BEYOND THI

05:30.518 --> 05:33.333
WEEK, WE WILL SEE HIM MODIFY HIS

05:33.334 --> 05:35.188
MESSAGE, HIS TONE?

05:35.199 --> 05:37.694
>> I THINK THIS INCIDENT HAS HAD

05:37.729 --> 05:40.527
AN IMPACT ON HIM

05:40.538 --> 05:44.982
BUT WHAT I HAVE SAID IS I MA

05:44.983 --> 05:46.665
NOT AGREE WITH SOME THINGS H

05:46.676 --> 05:47.218
SAYS

05:47.252 --> 05:51.118
BUT I AGREE WITH WHAT HE DOES.

05:51.129 --> 05:52.767
I AGREE WITH HIS POLICIES WHIC

05:52.778 --> 05:54.612
IS MORE IMPORTANT.

05:54.623 --> 05:56.771
PRESIDENT BIDEN MAY SAY TH

05:56.782 --> 05:58.079
RIGHT THINGS BUT I AGREE

05:58.113 --> 05:59.760
VEHEMENTLY WITH WHAT HE DOES

05:59.771 --> 06:01.513
AND TO ME IT IS MORE IMPORTANT

06:01.524 --> 06:04.472
WHAT YOU DO THAN WHAT YOU SAY.

06:04.506 --> 06:06.389
AND DONALD TRUMP HAS PROVEN OVER

06:06.400 --> 06:08.000
AND OVER AGAIN THAT WHAT HE DOES

06:08.001 --> 06:10.004
IS RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY

06:10.005 --> 06:11.810
>> AND THERE IS A DEBATE IN TH

06:11.812 --> 06:14.400
DEMOCRAT PARTY ON WHETHER BIDE

06:14.401 --> 06:16.278
SHOULD STAY AT THE TOP OF TH

06:16.279 --> 06:16.701
TICKET

06:16.703 --> 06:19.232
IN SOME WAYS, THAT IS SOLVED I

06:19.233 --> 06:20.510
THE WAKE OF THE SHOOTING I

06:20.511 --> 06:21.388
PENNSYLVANIA

06:21.389 --> 06:25.780
IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH

06:25.791 --> 06:27.670
MOMENTUM IT WILL HAVE GOIN

06:27.704 --> 06:28.013
FORWARD.

06:28.024 --> 06:31.128
IS THERE CONCERN IN TH

06:31.139 --> 06:32.767
REPUBLICAN PARTY IF HE PASSE

06:32.778 --> 06:34.672
THE TORCH TO SOMEONE ELSE?

06:34.674 --> 06:36.886
>> IF HE DECIDES HE IS NOT

06:36.887 --> 06:38.954
CAPABLE OF BEING THE NOMINEE, HE

06:38.965 --> 06:40.170
IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING TH

06:40.204 --> 06:41.303
PRESIDENT.

06:41.314 --> 06:44.562
SO IF HE PASSES THAT TORCH

06:44.597 --> 06:46.504
THAT’S A PROCESS

06:46.505 --> 06:52.975
BUT IF SOMEHOW A REVOLUTION IN

06:52.986 --> 06:55.700
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WILL SOMEHO

06:55.735 --> 06:57.325
OVERTHROW THE PRESIDENT, WASN’

06:57.327 --> 06:58.326
HE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED BY

06:58.337 --> 07:00.257
YOUR NOMINEE

07:00.258 --> 07:02.917
IT IS KIND OF HYPOCRITICAL

07:02.928 --> 07:05.201
UNTIL JOE BIDEN DECIDES HE N

07:05.212 --> 07:06.837
LONGER WANTS TO BE THE

07:06.848 --> 07:08.584
CANDIDATE, I THINK THE DEMOCRATS

07:08.619 --> 07:10.251
NEED TO FOLLOW THE WILL OF THEIR

07:10.252 --> 07:12.213
VOTERS AND HE’S THE NOMINEE.

07:12.224 --> 07:14.417
NOW IF HE DECIDES HE IS NO

07:14.428 --> 07:16.541
CAPABLE OF IT, HE PROBABLY NEEDS

07:16.543 --> 07:17.932
TO PASS IT ON TO THE VIC

07:17.943 --> 07:18.790
PRESIDENT.

07:18.824 --> 07:20.943
AND THEN SHE BECOMES THE

07:20.954 --> 07:21.749
PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE.

07:21.750 --> 07:22.579
>> ALL RIGHT, CONGRESSMA
