RUSH TRANSCRIPT Cheryl joining ░░░░░░░░ now for our election ░░░░░░░░ panel Democratic strategist Fred ░░░░░░░░ and former California Republican ░░░░░░░░ chairman Tom Del Beccaro ░░░░░░░░ I want to go ░░░░░░░░ you first on the ░░░░░░░░ of the polls Because ░░░░░░░░ question certainly is these ░░░░░░░░ of these polls really ░░░░░░░░ in that tight margin ░░░░░░░░ error Is the Harris ░░░░░░░░ at this point do ░░░░░░░░ think overconfident They say ░░░░░░░░ s a tough the ░░░░░░░░ but they seem to ░░░░░░░░ sometimes acting like they ░░░░░░░░ they have this thing ░░░░░░░░ the bag What do ░░░░░░░░ say One of the ░░░░░░░░ the Harris campaign is ░░░░░░░░ emphasizing over the last ░░░░░░░░ is she is the ░░░░░░░░ The polling is the ░░░░░░░░ She made up all ░░░░░░░░ the ground that Joe ░░░░░░░░ lost in the early ░░░░░░░░ of the year and ░░░░░░░░ pulled it to a ░░░░░░░░ or ahead in the ░░░░░░░░ polls and several of ░░░░░░░░ swing states but the ░░░░░░░░ is that she right ░░░░░░░░ is a little behind ░░░░░░░░ she and President Biden ░░░░░░░░ four years ago and ░░░░░░░░ we know there s ░░░░░░░░ lot to do there ░░░░░░░░ a lot ahead including ░░░░░░░░ crucial debate next week ░░░░░░░░ I want to ask ░░░░░░░░ about the polls on ░░░░░░░░ other side of this ░░░░░░░░ you think the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ has been bantered about ░░░░░░░░ Nate Silver and others ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans aren t ░░░░░░░░ necessarily represented in many ░░░░░░░░ the larger national polls ░░░░░░░░ we re seeing where ░░░░░░░░ is still ahead Has ░░░░░░░░ her high water mark ░░░░░░░░ yes we have a ░░░░░░░░ of media polls that ░░░░░░░░ of sample Democrats and ░░░░░░░░ have an entire history ░░░░░░░░ Trump support not somehow ░░░░░░░░ through in a lot ░░░░░░░░ polls although there are ░░░░░░░░ polls by for instance ░░░░░░░░ that has done a ░░░░░░░░ better job at that ░░░░░░░░ others So the question ░░░░░░░░ where are we in ░░░░░░░░ states like Pennsylvania and ░░░░░░░░ me like a lack ░░░░░░░░ specifics is beginning to ░░░░░░░░ her If you remember ░░░░░░░░ dole versus Clinton dole ░░░░░░░░ t come out with ░░░░░░░░ policies until too late ░░░░░░░░ the game and had ░░░░░░░░ been defined and that ░░░░░░░░ against him Kamala s ░░░░░░░░ is slipping away now ░░░░░░░░ she s still undefined ░░░░░░░░ doesn t even have ░░░░░░░░ policy page and now ░░░░░░░░ are skeptical of her ░░░░░░░░ I think she s ░░░░░░░░ her high water mark ░░░░░░░░ yes the Trump support ░░░░░░░░ all likelihood is being ░░░░░░░░ across the country Cheryl ░░░░░░░░ to that point you ░░░░░░░░ former president here in ░░░░░░░░ York City yesterday laid ░░░░░░░░ his economic agenda point ░░░░░░░░ point and it talks ░░░░░░░░ lot about things that ░░░░░░░░ investors and people that ░░░░░░░░ on Wall Street want ░░░░░░░░ hear less regulation more ░░░░░░░░ production lower taxes a ░░░░░░░░ corporate tax rate those ░░░░░░░░ things that do resonate ░░░░░░░░ those that are focused ░░░░░░░░ their money and their ░░░░░░░░ and that is a ░░░░░░░░ swath of the nation ░░░░░░░░ the economy is certainly ░░░░░░░░ at the top of ░░░░░░░░ biggest issues But I ░░░░░░░░ to get to the ░░░░░░░░ with both of you ░░░░░░░░ much to talk about ░░░░░░░░ vice president is in ░░░░░░░░ today spending five days ░░░░░░░░ down preparing for the ░░░░░░░░ News presidential debate with ░░░░░░░░ President Trump that is ░░░░░░░░ week Now Trump is ░░░░░░░░ to the same prep ░░░░░░░░ did before his debate ░░░░░░░░ President Biden engaging in ░░░░░░░░ discussions with his closest ░░░░░░░░ ABC News announced that ░░░░░░░░ official debate rules well ░░░░░░░░ did no props or ░░░░░░░░ notes allowed no live ░░░░░░░░ mics will be muted ░░░░░░░░ it s not the ░░░░░░░░ s time to speak ░░░░░░░░ Harris tam campaign was ░░░░░░░░ for hot mics The ░░░░░░░░ offered assurances if there ░░░░░░░░ significant cross talk between ░░░░░░░░ and Trump are it ░░░░░░░░ choose to turn on ░░░░░░░░ mics So the be ░░░░░░░░ public with can what ░░░░░░░░ happening Fred taking this ░░░░░░░░ to you the Harris ░░░░░░░░ wanted the mics on ░░░░░░░░ first I want to ░░░░░░░░ to the previous point ░░░░░░░░ keep hearing people say ░░░░░░░░ Harris campaign is at ░░░░░░░░ high water mark with ░░░░░░░░ polling She continues to ░░░░░░░░ week after week We ░░░░░░░░ to be honest and ░░░░░░░░ Americans right now are ░░░░░░░░ happy and we saw ░░░░░░░░ earlier in the year ░░░░░░░░ the polling they re ░░░░░░░░ happy with Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ they ve been excited ░░░░░░░░ energized by an alternative ░░░░░░░░ alternate Cheryl I ll ░░░░░░░░ back and say that ░░░░░░░░ of these polls are ░░░░░░░░ the March scrine of ░░░░░░░░ Margin of error We ░░░░░░░░ shown the polls She ░░░░░░░░ ground in many swing ░░░░░░░░ We did show the ░░░░░░░░ To the be fair ░░░░░░░░ water mark Going into ░░░░░░░░ day bait she is ░░░░░░░░ she wanted to be ░░░░░░░░ this point which is ░░░░░░░░ even or slightly ahead ░░░░░░░░ so the preparation that ░░░░░░░░ s putting into this ░░░░░░░░ days is reflective of ░░░░░░░░ how important this is ░░░░░░░░ the June 27th debate ░░░░░░░░ here in Atlanta was ░░░░░░░░ waterloo for President Biden ░░░░░░░░ so all these talks ░░░░░░░░ the discussion all the ░░░░░░░░ around her policy and ░░░░░░░░ other issues relitted to ░░░░░░░░ can be addressed in ░░░░░░░░ debate She s aware ░░░░░░░░ that If she fox ░░░░░░░░ out no knocks park ░░░░░░░░ will be the final ░░░░░░░░ and we ll see ░░░░░░░░ surge in the polls ░░░░░░░░ the she does not ░░░░░░░░ get then the campaign ░░░░░░░░ be in trouble but ░░░░░░░░ think she understands that ░░░░░░░░ think the team understands ░░░░░░░░ That s why she ░░░░░░░░ putting so much into ░░░░░░░░ because this is the ░░░░░░░░ moment for Cheryl a ░░░░░░░░ question for her is ░░░░░░░░ to be policy specifics ░░░░░░░░ Tom you do make ░░░░░░░░ good point about the ░░░░░░░░ I want to be ░░░░░░░░ We ve got he ░░░░░░░░ specifics from tr we ░░░░░░░░ to hear more from ░░░░░░░░ Harris campaign Peg anypeggy ░░░░░░░░ Hasan op ed she ░░░░░░░░ the debate will be ░░░░░░░░ important as everybody says ░░░░░░░░ good performance by one ░░░░░░░░ will be dispositive People ░░░░░░░░ watch to see if ░░░░░░░░ happens I debated her ░░░░░░░░ in 2016 for the ░░░░░░░░ S Senate race and ░░░░░░░░ has a lack of ░░░░░░░░ of knowledge in economics ░░░░░░░░ foreign policy You know ░░░░░░░░ she s doing right ░░░░░░░░ She s figuring out ░░░░░░░░ whether she will say ░░░░░░░░ s going to do ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ because she s going ░░░░░░░░ be asked those questions ░░░░░░░░ hasn t determined that ░░░░░░░░ and so as she ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ very hard for her ░░░░░░░░ unlike Trump who had ░░░░░░░░ policies she s got ░░░░░░░░ suddenly say what they ░░░░░░░░ going to be memorize ░░░░░░░░ and be able to ░░░░░░░░ about it in an ░░░░░░░░ manner She s not ░░░░░░░░ good at that That ░░░░░░░░ the knock on her ░░░░░░░░ call her a one ░░░░░░░░ debater She ll have ░░░░░░░░ few zingers but she ░░░░░░░░ no follow ups People ░░░░░░░░ watch her to see ░░░░░░░░ word salads come out ░░░░░░░░ not almost as much ░░░░░░░░ they want to try ░░░░░░░░ figure out what her ░░░░░░░░ will be and so ░░░░░░░░ pressure s on her ░░░░░░░░ the knock on her ░░░░░░░░ she s not ready ░░░░░░░░ this and I think ░░░░░░░░ showed in the CNN ░░░░░░░░ Cheryl fred I want ░░░░░░░░ to respond to that ░░░░░░░░ she know what her ░░░░░░░░ are saying about her ░░░░░░░░ the campaign knows what ░░░░░░░░ critics are saying The ░░░░░░░░ point on which Tom ░░░░░░░░ I agree is the ░░░░░░░░ is on Kamala Harris ░░░░░░░░ the debate Listen America ░░░░░░░░ what Donald Trump is ░░░░░░░░ is not and they ░░░░░░░░ already made up their ░░░░░░░░ the decisions have been ░░░░░░░░ with respect to whether ░░░░░░░░ not they like his ░░░░░░░░ Now they also made ░░░░░░░░ their minds about whether ░░░░░░░░ not they like him ░░░░░░░░ her for the vice ░░░░░░░░ this is the opportunity ░░░░░░░░ win the election on ░░░░░░░░ 10th even though the ░░░░░░░░ will not be cast ░░░░░░░░ tallied until November 5th ░░░░░░░░ is that moment for ░░░░░░░░ I believe that because ░░░░░░░░ has done a great ░░░░░░░░ along the way in ░░░░░░░░ of handling herself as ░░░░░░░░ handling herself as da ░░░░░░░░ S Senator as vice ░░░░░░░░ she will be prepared ░░░░░░░░ articulate a vision of ░░░░░░░░ and looking forwarder not ░░░░░░░░ back to 2016 or ░░░░░░░░ with Donald Trump nearly ░░░░░░░░ the economy and I ░░░░░░░░ she s going to ░░░░░░░░ a very positive vision ░░░░░░░░ the future and this ░░░░░░░░ her opportunity Cheryl okay ░░░░░░░░ real quick before you ░░░░░░░░ which Donald Trump is ░░░░░░░░ to show up in ░░░░░░░░ opinion next week is ░░░░░░░░ going to be the ░░░░░░░░ Trump that he debated ░░░░░░░░ Biden this year or ░░░░░░░░ it going to be ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump that debated ░░░░░░░░ Biden four years ago ░░░░░░░░ answering questions for 35 ░░░░░░░░ days means he s ░░░░░░░░ to be more like ░░░░░░░░ person who debated Joe ░░░░░░░░ Remember it s difficult ░░░░░░░░ this is not man ░░░░░░░░ man He has to ░░░░░░░░ more respectful I think ░░░░░░░░ ll see that Cheryl ░░░░░░░░ We ll gentlemen it ░░░░░░░░ always great to see ░░░░░░░░ of you Appreciate your ░░░░░░░░ and here we go ░░░░░░░░ week probably the only ░░░░░░░░ this point we think ░░░░░░░░ only debate we re ░░░░░░░░ to get between these ░░░░░░░░ Fred Hicks Tom Del ░░░░░░░░ Thank you.
