BARNICLE I think the ░░░░░░░░ would like to know ░░░░░░░░ George W Bush is ░░░░░░░░ today You know Joe ░░░░░░░░ s an interesting aspect ░░░░░░░░ Mika just raised The ░░░░░░░░ of Republicans who have ░░░░░░░░ out against Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ candidacy it really is ░░░░░░░░ of minimal when you ░░░░░░░░ at the parade of ░░░░░░░░ But George W Bush ░░░░░░░░ mean his voice would ░░░░░░░░ really mean something in ░░░░░░░░ I can t believe ░░░░░░░░ he and his family ░░░░░░░░ sitting there tolerating the ░░░░░░░░ of voting for Donald ░░░░░░░░ Trump SCARBOROUGH You know ░░░░░░░░ think over the past ░░░░░░░░ or nine years they ░░░░░░░░ say in many circumstances ░░░░░░░░ if I came out ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump I d ░░░░░░░░ make him stronger with ░░░░░░░░ base That would be ░░░░░░░░ in many respects But ░░░░░░░░ today Not when there ░░░░░░░░ so many Republicans that ░░░░░░░░ not want to vote ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump You know ░░░░░░░░ you have somebody they ░░░░░░░░ for twice coming out ░░░░░░░░ saying Hey I m ░░░░░░░░ all of the people ░░░░░░░░ my administration that have ░░░░░░░░ out and all the ░░░░░░░░ in Donald Trump s ░░░░░░░░ and in my father ░░░░░░░░ administration you know and ░░░░░░░░ Ronald Reagan s administration ░░░░░░░░ m for all those ░░░░░░░░ it really would I ░░░░░░░░ don t think endorsements ░░░░░░░░ a big difference I ░░░░░░░░ this is one endorsement ░░░░░░░░ would make a very ░░░░░░░░ difference in the closing ░░░░░░░░ of the campaign Because ░░░░░░░░ Republicans who undervote the ░░░░░░░░ who don t show ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans who decide ░░░░░░░░ switch their vote for ░░░░░░░░ or write somebody else ░░░░░░░░ those undervotes are what ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump in Wisconsin ░░░░░░░░ other states in 2020 ░░░░░░░░ George W Bush we ░░░░░░░░ about permission structures all ░░░░░░░░ time George W Bush ░░░░░░░░ guy who was kicked ░░░░░░░░ by the mainstream media ░░░░░░░░ good bit a guy ░░░░░░░░ many of these people ░░░░░░░░ relate to would make ░░░░░░░░ big difference in Wisconsin ░░░░░░░░ and Pennsylvania North Carolina ░░░░░░░░ so we ll see ░░░░░░░░ wanted Gene to ask ░░░░░░░░ to follow up on ░░░░░░░░ Molly was saying about ░░░░░░░░ Reagan We talk about ░░░░░░░░ s farewell speech all ░░░░░░░░ time but I m ░░░░░░░░ of something that Peggy ░░░░░░░░ wrote in a biography ░░░░░░░░ Ronald Reagan It s ░░░░░░░░ that I remember General ░░░░░░░░ saying several years ago ░░░░░░░░ after Charlottesville he said ░░░░░░░░ is not about blood ░░░░░░░░ is not about blood ░░░░░░░░ are not bound by ░░░░░░░░ We Americans are bound ░░░░░░░░ a creed I remember ░░░░░░░░ Noonan writing in When ░░░░░░░░ Was King explaining why ░░░░░░░░ believed what he believed ░░░░░░░░ immigrants She said whether ░░░░░░░░ ve been here for ░░░░░░░░ generations or whether you ░░░░░░░░ got here last week ░░░░░░░░ are part of a ░░░░░░░░ you are a part ░░░░░░░░ a history That blood ░░░░░░░░ has been shed on ░░░░░░░░ battlefields across the world ░░░░░░░░ Americans freedom it has ░░░░░░░░ shed for you and ░░░░░░░░ has been shed for ░░░░░░░░ who have been here ░░░░░░░░ 10 generations We are ░░░░░░░░ part of the same ░░░░░░░░ with the same history ░░░░░░░░ here s the punch ░░░░░░░░ We are bound by ░░░░░░░░ same creed That is ░░░░░░░░ creed that Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ not understand That is ░░░░░░░░ creed that Stephen Miller ░░░░░░░░ not understand That is ░░░░░░░░ creed that people that ░░░░░░░░ about exclusion don t ░░░░░░░░ That is a creed ░░░░░░░░ Silicon Valley certainly understands ░░░░░░░░ America dominates the world ░░░░░░░░ tech because of immigrants ░░░░░░░░ because of people whose ░░░░░░░░ immigrated here It changed ░░░░░░░░ It changed Silicon Valley ░░░░░░░░ changed the world Once ░░░░░░░░ immigration comes in and ░░░░░░░░ America stronger.”
