RUSH TRANSCRIPT Quite specific ░░░░░░░░ what he thinks she ░░░░░░░░ not do my panel ░░░░░░░░ back with me right ░░░░░░░░ first of all it ░░░░░░░░ not surprising that he ░░░░░░░░ going to react although ░░░░░░░░ has revealed himself to ░░░░░░░░ been watching again probably ░░░░░░░░ surprise all week long ░░░░░░░░ ve been going at ░░░░░░░░ Does his response or ░░░░░░░░ what The steps to ░░░░░░░░ forward What actually should ░░░░░░░░ be sure Michael I ░░░░░░░░ look again I want ░░░░░░░░ acknowledge again the moment ░░░░░░░░ the vice president History ░░░░░░░░ made first woman of ░░░░░░░░ Um potentially could become ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ black women in this ░░░░░░░░ who are excited A ░░░░░░░░ of women of every ░░░░░░░░ who are excited And ░░░░░░░░ certainly acknowledge that point ░░░░░░░░ I think cost is ░░░░░░░░ a big deal That ░░░░░░░░ why this race is ░░░░░░░░ very close And I ░░░░░░░░ that s what the ░░░░░░░░ president is alluding to ░░░░░░░░ people are excited and ░░░░░░░░ a good time but ░░░░░░░░ excitement address the fact ░░░░░░░░ a credit card defaults ░░░░░░░░ up Does it address ░░░░░░░░ fact that people can ░░░░░░░░ pay their car loans ░░░░░░░░ people are struggling to ░░░░░░░░ their mortgages That people ░░░░░░░░ are struggling to pay ░░░░░░░░ rent they can t ░░░░░░░░ whether or not they ░░░░░░░░ be able to get ░░░░░░░░ assistance before they get ░░░░░░░░ And so Trump needs ░░░░░░░░ stay on that message ░░░░░░░░ this race is to ░░░░░░░░ competitive talk about those ░░░░░░░░ and remind people yes ░░░░░░░░ re excited but you ░░░░░░░░ to have an adult ░░░░░░░░ the room now whether ░░░░░░░░ not he can do ░░░░░░░░ it s up for ░░░░░░░░ Now I want to ░░░░░░░░ what to say about ░░░░░░░░ guys because they re ░░░░░░░░ him as somebody who ░░░░░░░░ the ineffective and wrong ░░░░░░░░ for things like you ░░░░░░░░ talking about So if ░░░░░░░░ re talking about the ░░░░░░░░ store you re talking ░░░░░░░░ the pricing of things ░░░░░░░░ re trying to paint ░░░░░░░░ as somebody who this ░░░░░░░░ as foreign to him ░░░░░░░░ anything else You even ░░░░░░░░ what governor Gretchen Whitmer ░░░░░░░░ His first word was ░░░░░░░░ chauffeur I mean they ░░░░░░░░ really going toe to ░░░░░░░░ on the richie rich ░░░░░░░░ Yeah it is So ░░░░░░░░ don t even have ░░░░░░░░ quote unquote paint him ░░░░░░░░ way He consistently can ░░░░░░░░ stay on his own ░░░░░░░░ and consistently on this ░░░░░░░░ In fact we ve ░░░░░░░░ Republicans saying if only ░░░░░░░░ would stay on message ░░░░░░░░ only he would stop ░░░░░░░░ about this or that ░░░░░░░░ you know and getting ░░░░░░░░ Not just the message ░░░░░░░░ Karen I mean the ░░░░░░░░ substance can can he ░░░░░░░░ the issue for people ░░░░░░░░ American voters Right now ░░░░░░░░ relatability the authenticity And ░░░░░░░░ can see myself in ░░░░░░░░ and you are the ░░░░░░░░ person who can solve ░░░░░░░░ problem if I think ░░░░░░░░ ve never experienced what ░░░░░░░░ ve experienced That s ░░░░░░░░ Can I trust you ░░░░░░░░ that s the point ░░░░░░░░ You can trust me ░░░░░░░░ I came from the ░░░░░░░░ class You can trust ░░░░░░░░ because I m going ░░░░░░░░ be a president for ░░░░░░░░ Americans that in and ░░░░░░░░ itself is a critique ░░░░░░░░ a contrast point and ░░░░░░░░ you saw on the ░░░░░░░░ after her speech I ░░░░░░░░ argue was a stage ░░░░░░░░ of family that looked ░░░░░░░░ lot like America in ░░░░░░░░ of the diversity old ░░░░░░░░ young and different backgrounds ░░░░░░░░ so again yes when ░░░░░░░░ the last time he ░░░░░░░░ ever at a grocery ░░░░░░░░ ever had to buy ░░░░░░░░ gallon of milk Ever ░░░░░░░░ to work a couple ░░░░░░░░ hours to be able ░░░░░░░░ pay for that gallon ░░░░░░░░ milk Ever I mean ░░░░░░░░ s a lot of ░░░░░░░░ people here so I ░░░░░░░░ that question could be ░░░░░░░░ of where are the ░░░░░░░░ at this table I ░░░░░░░░ just saying that question ░░░░░░░░ be begged for a ░░░░░░░░ of the attendees here ░░░░░░░░ race is still close ░░░░░░░░ cannot democratic convention No ░░░░░░░░ I understand that But ░░░░░░░░ can t we can ░░░░░░░░ deny that fact And ░░░░░░░░ you look at an ░░░░░░░░ of all of the ░░░░░░░░ in terms of the ░░░░░░░░ states the guys 0 ░░░░░░░░ points up When you ░░░░░░░░ at where Hillary Clinton ░░░░░░░░ and President Biden was ░░░░░░░░ this point they were ░░░░░░░░ by seven points by ░░░░░░░░ points The vice president ░░░░░░░░ has a lot of ░░░░░░░░ to grow if she ░░░░░░░░ to win this thing ░░░░░░░░ here s the question ░░░░░░░░ m asking he s ░░░░░░░░ in the shows in ░░░░░░░░ middle of the night ░░░░░░░░ elvis right Like did ░░░░░░░░ do that but I ░░░░░░░░ him like sitting around ░░░░░░░░ kind of waiting He ░░░░░░░░ overweight elvis sitting around ░░░░░░░░ calling the shows yelling ░░░░░░░░ the at the announcers ░░░░░░░░ don t understand what ░░░░░░░░ Trump has been doing ░░░░░░░░ Are we going to ░░░░░░░░ him with people Are ░░░░░░░░ going to see him ░░░░░░░░ to places that are ░░░░░░░░ he was recently in ░░░░░░░░ Michigan just the other ░░░░░░░░ Howell Michigan For those ░░░░░░░░ us who grew up ░░░░░░░░ Michigan is like the ░░░░░░░░ where the Ku Klux ░░░░░░░░ is sort of resided ░░░░░░░░ s a place where ░░░░░░░░ just recently even had ░░░░░░░░ Klux Klan rallies It ░░░░░░░░ one of the most ░░░░░░░░ parts of the state ░░░░░░░░ that s where he ░░░░░░░░ to do one of ░░░░░░░░ counter events But Joe ░░░░░░░░ wait a minute Joe ░░░░░░░░ was also there a ░░░░░░░░ ago Jamal we need ░░░░░░░░ be honest with our ░░░░░░░░ Well the president was ░░░░░░░░ there a year ago ░░░░░░░░ Joe get the point ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden is not ░░░░░░░░ himself with people who ░░░░░░░░ both sides that are ░░░░░░░░ and I understand the ░░░░░░░░ You re trying to ░░░░░░░░ it as if he ░░░░░░░░ the only one to ░░░░░░░░ there We should be ░░░░░░░░ for our viewers that ░░░░░░░░ sitting president also visited ░░░░░░░░ Michigan Okay nobody None ░░░░░░░░ them should be campaigning ░░░░░░░░ these people As far ░░░░░░░░ I m concerned So ░░░░░░░░ other question then is ░░░░░░░░ he goes out to ░░░░░░░░ right Why isn t ░░░░░░░░ in Wisconsin Why isn ░░░░░░░░ he doing more events ░░░░░░░░ the other parts of ░░░░░░░░ The other parts that ░░░░░░░░ the battleground He s ░░░░░░░░ doing that many events ░░░░░░░░ s true And it ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ that there s something ░░░░░░░░ that s going on ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump that s ░░░░░░░░ effective We all ask ░░░░░░░░ about Joe Biden and ░░░░░░░░ often he was campaigning ░░░░░░░░ now we re looking ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and he ░░░░░░░░ not doing anything like ░░░░░░░░ charged Joe Biden to ░░░░░░░░ No he wasn t ░░░░░░░░ is starting to and ░░░░░░░░ thought it was really ░░░░░░░░ that he was in ░░░░░░░░ Carolina this week I ░░░░░░░░ that is a state ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats have not ░░░░░░░░ since 2008 So clearly ░░░░░░░░ are feeling very anxious ░░░░░░░░ North Carolina or they ░░░░░░░░ t be there He ░░░░░░░░ in Arizona today He ░░░░░░░░ to Michigan And yes ░░░░░░░░ audience is perhaps a ░░░░░░░░ that he is digging ░░░░░░░░ his audience which he ░░░░░░░░ are men over 50 ░░░░░░░░ s white males rural ░░░░░░░░ who don t come ░░░░░░░░ low propensity voters And ░░░░░░░░ think it s just ░░░░░░░░ sign that he s ░░░░░░░░ down on his base ░░░░░░░░ J D Vance wasn ░░░░░░░░ a sign of that ░░░░░░░░ and and he is ░░░░░░░░ to pick I agree ░░░░░░░░ you The Montana thing ░░░░░░░░ weird I thought you ░░░░░░░░ Chris uh Steve Daines ░░░░░░░░ the head of the ░░░░░░░░ it s a tight ░░░░░░░░ race frankly so maybe ░░░░░░░░ convinced him to go ░░░░░░░░ to Montana But that ░░░░░░░░ after nine days off ░░░░░░░░ generous But that was ░░░░░░░░ nine days off He ░░░░░░░░ probably just going through ░░░░░░░░ psychological reset having to ░░░░░░░░ with the fact that ░░░░░░░░ was no longer I ░░░░░░░░ the psycho analysis of ░░░░░░░░ Trump as to where ░░░░░░░░ campaign They told him ░░░░░░░░ to go He went ░░░░░░░░ But you know what ░░░░░░░░ of Michigan Michigan is ░░░░░░░░ place where when it ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Harris campaign ░░░░░░░░ were really shaking in ░░░░░░░░ boots about the uncommitted ░░░░░░░░ Yeah one of the ░░░░░░░░ elephants in the room ░░░░░░░░ you know how the ░░░░░░░░ might respond to this ░░░░░░░░ been about the Israel ░░░░░░░░ war The humanitarian crisis ░░░░░░░░ Gaza and people wondering ░░░░░░░░ vice president Harris now ░░░░░░░░ Harris would address it ░░░░░░░░ to what she said ░░░░░░░░ me be clear I ░░░░░░░░ always stand up for ░░░░░░░░ s right to defend ░░░░░░░░ and I will always ░░░░░░░░ Israel has the ability ░░░░░░░░ defend itself because the ░░░░░░░░ of Israel must never ░░░░░░░░ face the horror that ░░░░░░░░ terrorist organization called Hamas ░░░░░░░░ on October 7th President ░░░░░░░░ and I are working ░░░░░░░░ end this war such ░░░░░░░░ Israel is secure The ░░░░░░░░ are released the suffering ░░░░░░░░ Gaza ends and the ░░░░░░░░ people can realize their ░░░░░░░░ to dignity security freedom ░░░░░░░░ self determination now we ░░░░░░░░ in that room when ░░░░░░░░ gave that speech and ░░░░░░░░ could hear at different ░░░░░░░░ of her saying that ░░░░░░░░ were reactions from the ░░░░░░░░ You couldn t quite ░░░░░░░░ what they were saying ░░░░░░░░ it seemed pretty clear ░░░░░░░░ they were waiting for ░░░░░░░░ to get to the ░░░░░░░░ part of the Israel ░░░░░░░░ What did you make ░░░░░░░░ her total discussion I ░░░░░░░░ she did it beautifully ░░░░░░░░ she did something that ░░░░░░░░ have Actually I think ░░░░░░░░ to do which is ░░░░░░░░ s a false choice ░░░░░░░░ say that you can ░░░░░░░░ be pro the Israeli ░░░░░░░░ and pro the Palestinian ░░░░░░░░ We ve we ve ░░░░░░░░ ourselves be caught up ░░░░░░░░ sort of this argument ░░░░░░░░ saying no no it ░░░░░░░░ about the people We ░░░░░░░░ trying to make sure ░░░░░░░░ the Israeli people live ░░░░░░░░ safety and security and ░░░░░░░░ the Palestinian people have ░░░░░░░░ opportunity to do the ░░░░░░░░ thing and realize their ░░░░░░░░ and realize their own ░░░░░░░░ And so I thought ░░░░░░░░ did that quite deftly ░░░░░░░░ you could hear in ░░░░░░░░ room I mean I ░░░░░░░░ with a group of ░░░░░░░░ a couple of them ░░░░░░░░ were kind of is ░░░░░░░░ going to say it ░░░░░░░░ she kept saying hold ░░░░░░░░ she s going to ░░░░░░░░ know and then she ░░░░░░░░ and there was just ░░░░░░░░ joy and appreciation for ░░░░░░░░ fact that she acknowledged ░░░░░░░░ sides of what has ░░░░░░░░ obviously a very tortured ░░░░░░░░ conflict tara this had ░░░░░░░░ a fear and concern ░░░░░░░░ terms of how it ░░░░░░░░ be addressed and what ░░░░░░░░ would mean in the ░░░░░░░░ towards the election Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ mean when I was ░░░░░░░░ to her I m ░░░░░░░░ okay when are there ░░░░░░░░ to be boos when ░░░░░░░░ people going to just ░░░░░░░░ drop some flags People ░░░░░░░░ going to start screaming ░░░░░░░░ mean I know you ░░░░░░░░ t control that I ░░░░░░░░ like that would have ░░░░░░░░ the one moment in ░░░░░░░░ speech when she would ░░░░░░░░ maybe had some friction ░░░░░░░░ the crowd Um they ░░░░░░░░ with it They went ░░░░░░░░ her It feels like ░░░░░░░░ protests have been minimal ░░░░░░░░ there are maybe 2000 ░░░░░░░░ delegates There was 50 ░░░░░░░░ doing a silent protest ░░░░░░░░ actually think there were ░░░░░░░░ protesters at the RNC ░░░░░░░░ what I saw Um ░░░░░░░░ it was a pretty ░░░░░░░░ event I would think ░░░░░░░░ that doesn t mean ░░░░░░░░ she s not going ░░░░░░░░ go out onto the ░░░░░░░░ trail and fail A ░░░░░░░░ of friction in Michigan ░░░░░░░░ Um and I don ░░░░░░░░ think that this is ░░░░░░░░ that s just been ░░░░░░░░ up and maybe there ░░░░░░░░ a way for her ░░░░░░░░ continue to create distance ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden I mean ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ goal for the next ░░░░░░░░ guess 70 days is ░░░░░░░░ have distance from the ░░░░░░░░ as he tries to ░░░░░░░░ out this situation as ░░░░░░░░ of his legacy But ░░░░░░░░ think she s going ░░░░░░░░ be very mindful of ░░░░░░░░ her remarks tonight were ░░░░░░░░ s a deal that ░░░░░░░░ re trying to strike ░░░░░░░░ you do not want ░░░░░░░░ be in the position ░░░░░░░░ endangering lives and the ░░░░░░░░ of an agreement So ░░░░░░░░ you and I think ░░░░░░░░ have to give her ░░░░░░░░ grace And so how ░░░░░░░░ talk about that without ░░░░░░░░ that in danger is ░░░░░░░░ critical It will be ░░░░░░░░ conversation to go forward ░░░░░░░░ this is one of ░░░░░░░░ things that being the ░░░░░░░░ administration and what Biden ░░░░░░░░ doing what she s ░░░░░░░░ and of course voters ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ this
