RUSH TRANSCRIPT Said Trump ░░░░░░░░ me to put him ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution and I ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution and I ░░░░░░░░ will How can Pence ░░░░░░░░ the others who raised ░░░░░░░░ hands about supporting Trump ░░░░░░░░ he s kwukted also ░░░░░░░░ they support Pence s ░░░░░░░░ on January 6th to ░░░░░░░░ the electoral process Joining ░░░░░░░░ to discuss is a ░░░░░░░░ political reporter for the ░░░░░░░░ examiner columnist for the ░░░░░░░░ York Post and Kristin ░░░░░░░░ column haddist for the ░░░░░░░░ First with Vivek Ramaswamy ░░░░░░░░ guess no surprise he ░░░░░░░░ the firsthand in the ░░░░░░░░ when asked this question ░░░░░░░░ after all he said ░░░░░░░░ will will pardon Donald ░░░░░░░░ Any reaction to Vivek ░░░░░░░░ thought he was very ░░░░░░░░ in this debate and ░░░░░░░░ DeSantis who was the ░░░░░░░░ two candidate up until ░░░░░░░░ looked very weak in ░░░░░░░░ When the moderators asked ░░░░░░░░ nominee if he were ░░░░░░░░ had he put his ░░░░░░░░ in the air he ░░░░░░░░ around sheepishly and raised ░░░░░░░░ hand to his shoulder ░░░░░░░░ he was the embarrassed ░░░░░░░░ was the loser of ░░░░░░░░ debate Not because the ░░░░░░░░ had a poor performance ░░░░░░░░ fine is not going ░░░░░░░░ cut it when trying ░░░░░░░░ defend your position as ░░░░░░░░ number two candidate Vivek ░░░░░░░░ bold He said that ░░░░░░░░ would defund Ukraine He ░░░░░░░░ to get rid of ░░░░░░░░ bunch of government agencies ░░░░░░░░ thought the climate change ░░░░░░░░ was a hoax This ░░░░░░░░ music to the ears ░░░░░░░░ conservative voters especially after ░░░░░░░░ of promoting these career ░░░░░░░░ Vitt vek wasvivek was ░░░░░░░░ big winner How can ░░░░░░░░ Pence be supportive of ░░░░░░░░ Trump and is convicted ░░░░░░░░ the same time say ░░░░░░░░ wanted him to put ░░░░░░░░ Constitution in a sub ░░░░░░░░ yent role Because voting ░░░░░░░░ complicated and because it ░░░░░░░░ a binary choice So ░░░░░░░░ don t have any ░░░░░░░░ choices supposedly unless there ░░░░░░░░ a vibrant third party ░░░░░░░░ when you go into ░░░░░░░░ voting booth in the ░░░░░░░░ election Is he the ░░░░░░░░ or Democrat most of ░░░░░░░░ time So you can ░░░░░░░░ that Pence did the ░░░░░░░░ thing and also be ░░░░░░░░ enthusiastic or resign to ░░░░░░░░ for Trump when you ░░░░░░░░ to a general election ░░░░░░░░ because you re happy ░░░░░░░░ the direction that President ░░░░░░░░ has taken the country ░░░░░░░░ not because it is ░░░░░░░░ full throated or or ░░░░░░░░ support for Trump You ░░░░░░░░ it We re going ░░░░░░░░ show it It s ░░░░░░░░ Governor DeSantis needs to ░░░░░░░░ both left and right ░░░░░░░░ answering this question By ░░░░░░░░ way I would have ░░░░░░░░ this would have been ░░░░░░░░ layup in terms of ░░░░░░░░ question that would be ░░░░░░░░ that you would anticipate ░░░░░░░░ there s no doubt ░░░░░░░░ you look at it ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ re able to see ░░░░░░░░ but he s got ░░░░░░░░ look every which way ░░░░░░░░ sheepishly putting up that ░░░░░░░░ Is that going to ░░░░░░░░ him at all Yes ░░░░░░░░ was the moment right ░░░░░░░░ that knocked him down ░░░░░░░░ notch Up until now ░░░░░░░░ media has only been ░░░░░░░░ Ron DeSantis and Donald ░░░░░░░░ as the two serious ░░░░░░░░ A couple months ago ░░░░░░░░ Americans had no idea ░░░░░░░░ Vivek Ramaswamy was Now ░░░░░░░░ everybody knows husband name ░░░░░░░░ Ron DeSantis has to ░░░░░░░░ nervous now He got ░░░░░░░░ of unlucky with that ░░░░░░░░ about Mike Pence He ░░░░░░░░ didn t want to ░░░░░░░░ that question His answer ░░░░░░░░ that one was really ░░░░░░░░ washy Vivek got to ░░░░░░░░ that question and that ░░░░░░░░ helped him in a ░░░░░░░░ way That is not ░░░░░░░░ question that is beneficial ░░░░░░░░ the these candidates politically ░░░░░░░░ are hoping to appeal ░░░░░░░░ Trump supporters You know ░░░░░░░░ regard you as a ░░░░░░░░ whisperer So let me ░░░░░░░░ you Today s poll ░░░░░░░░ The mug shot how ░░░░░░░░ it play politically for ░░░░░░░░ A net gain or ░░░░░░░░ minus or something else ░░░░░░░░ little oit of both ░░░░░░░░ think that the defiance ░░░░░░░░ in the favor of ░░░░░░░░ we are with our ░░░░░░░░ in this country As ░░░░░░░░ all know that relationship ░░░░░░░░ voters and institutions on ░░░░░░░░ sides of the aisle ░░░░░░░░ at a record low ░░░░░░░░ don t sort of ░░░░░░░░ it So the defiance ░░░░░░░░ right now However I ░░░░░░░░ it s way too ░░░░░░░░ to say if it ░░░░░░░░ longevity I think that ░░░░░░░░ talking to Trump supporters ░░░░░░░░ biggest challenge right now ░░░░░░░░ to not just run ░░░░░░░░ being that guy in ░░░░░░░░ mug shot It has ░░░░░░░░ be more than just ░░░░░░░░ him It has to ░░░░░░░░ about voters and he ░░░░░░░░ to talk about them ░░░░░░░░ s where I find ░░░░░░░░ weakness among voters He ░░░░░░░░ not talking about them ░░░░░░░░ s talking too much ░░░░░░░░ himself Conservatives are having ░░░░░░░░ a cultural moment these ░░░░░░░░ not the least of ░░░░░░░░ rich men Oliver Anthony ░░░░░░░░ something interesting to say ░░░░░░░░ the role of his ░░░░░░░░ in the current conversation ░░░░░░░░ s all watch and ░░░░░░░░ The one thing that ░░░░░░░░ bothered me I have ░░░░░░░░ wrap politics up into ░░░░░░░░ I m disappointed to ░░░░░░░░ it s aggravating seeing ░░░░░░░░ on conservative news try ░░░░░░░░ identify me like I ░░░░░░░░ one of them It ░░░░░░░░ aggravating seeing certain musicians ░░░░░░░░ politicians act like we ░░░░░░░░ buddies and act like ░░░░░░░░ re fighting the same ░░░░░░░░ here Like we re ░░░░░░░░ to present the same ░░░░░░░░ It was funny seeing ░░░░░░░░ song at the presidential ░░░░░░░░ Because it s like ░░░░░░░░ wrote that song about ░░░░░░░░ people I got to ░░░░░░░░ that he had to ░░░░░░░░ the rights for that ░░░░░░░░ to be used in ░░░░░░░░ debate but I have ░░░░░░░░ say I was rather ░░░░░░░░ to hear him say ░░░░░░░░ I was talking about ░░░░░░░░ people on that stage ░░░░░░░░ did you make of ░░░░░░░░ I was kind of ░░░░░░░░ to hear that too ░░░░░░░░ I think he represents ░░░░░░░░ views of a lot ░░░░░░░░ Trump voters out there ░░░░░░░░ folks look at what ░░░░░░░░ believe is a two ░░░░░░░░ justice system that is ░░░░░░░░ to silence punish and ░░░░░░░░ imprison political enemies on ░░░░░░░░ left which is what ░░░░░░░░ s mug shot is ░░░░░░░░ symbol of and there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of anger ░░░░░░░░ the media That even ░░░░░░░░ Fox News that many ░░░░░░░░ on the right believe ░░░░░░░░ long align with their ░░░░░░░░ On the mug shot ░░░░░░░░ think this is all ░░░░░░░░ for Trump because that ░░░░░░░░ shot represents more than ░░░░░░░░ Trump It represents for ░░░░░░░░ many Trump supporters a ░░░░░░░░ that they believe they ░░░░░░░░ all in together And ░░░░░░░░ Trump or hate Trump ░░░░░░░░ has to admit he ░░░░░░░░ nailed that mug shot ░░░░░░░░ did you want look ░░░░░░░░ He doesn t look ░░░░░░░░ Had just looks determined ░░░░░░░░ fight The guy was ░░░░░░░░ TV star for a ░░░░░░░░ He knows exactly how ░░░░░░░░ looks on camera And ░░░░░░░░ s that will be ░░░░░░░░ motivating for his base ░░░░░░░░ final comment you re ░░░░░░░░ what I wasn t ░░░░░░░░ at all at what ░░░░░░░░ said People don t ░░░░░░░░ they are defined by ░░░░░░░░ politics Their lives aren ░░░░░░░░ define edd by politics ░░░░░░░░ look at the establishment ░░░░░░░░ with skepticism and cynicism ░░░░░░░░ don t like everything ░░░░░░░░ do in their lives ░░░░░░░░ be defined by politics ░░░░░░░░ wasn t surprised at ░░░░░░░░ That s a sentiment ░░░░░░░░ I hear all the ░░░░░░░░ from voters.
