Rep. Lisa McClain Slams CNN: ‘Look at Your Show; It’s Nothing but Fear-Mongering!’

SANCHEZ Chairwoman I do ░░░░░░░░ to ask you one ░░░░░░░░ question because your district ░░░░░░░░ right outside of Detroit ░░░░░░░░ of the hubs of ░░░░░░░░ in our country MCCLAIN ░░░░░░░░ yeah SANCHEZ Ford s ░░░░░░░░ has lamented what he ░░░░░░░░ as a lot of ░░░░░░░░ and a lot of ░░░░░░░░ from the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ auto tariffs MCCLAIN Yes ░░░░░░░░ There was some back ░░░░░░░░ forth There were some ░░░░░░░░ Now they re set ░░░░░░░░ kick into place in ░░░░░░░░ What do you tell ░░░░░░░░ when you hear automakers ░░░░░░░░ that the cost of ░░░░░░░░ vehicles is going to ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ upwards of 12 000 ░░░░░░░░ of these tariffs MCCLAIN ░░░░░░░░ I tell them to ░░░░░░░░ Don t listen to ░░░░░░░░ fearmongering because the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ now have no vision ░░░░░░░░ have no plan and ░░░░░░░░ have no crosstalk SANCHEZ ░░░░░░░░ s coming from automakers ░░░░░░░░ folks like the Ford ░░░░░░░░ MCCLAIN If you don ░░░░░░░░ mind I had enough ░░░░░░░░ to let you talk ░░░░░░░░ would you like me ░░░░░░░░ answer the question Or ░░░░░░░░ you want to Crosstalk ░░░░░░░░ I just want to ░░░░░░░░ You re describing it ░░░░░░░░ fearmongering MCCLAIN OK SANCHEZ ░░░░░░░░ I cited was a ░░░░░░░░ CEO MCCLAIN Yeah SANCHEZ ░░░░░░░░ are the ones saying ░░░░░░░░ these costs are going ░░░░░░░░ jump MCCLAIN Yeah OK ░░░░░░░░ I will continue with ░░░░░░░░ answer When the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ no mission no message ░░░░░░░░ vision and no leader ░░░░░░░░ all they have is ░░░░░░░░ right That s what ░░░░░░░░ do And they talk ░░░░░░░░ the CEOs and they ░░░░░░░░ these fears in them ░░░░░░░░ different than when we ░░░░░░░░ to give a bunch ░░░░░░░░ subsidies to EV mandates ░░░░░░░░ didn t cover that ░░░░░░░░ the cost of the ░░░░░░░░ went up dramatically Yet ░░░░░░░░ had to subsidize those ░░░░░░░░ the people in my ░░░░░░░░ who I have actually ░░░░░░░░ to as well as ░░░░░░░░ CEOs they understand that ░░░░░░░░ are a negotiation tool ░░░░░░░░ are hopeful that we ░░░░░░░░ under President Trump s ░░░░░░░░ that we can get ░░░░░░░░ trade agreements That s ░░░░░░░░ goal We re tired ░░░░░░░░ getting taken advantage of ░░░░░░░░ they understand that that ░░░░░░░░ President Trump s goal ░░░░░░░░ get fair trading agreements ░░░░░░░░ level the playing field ░░░░░░░░ our employees for our ░░░░░░░░ and that it might ░░░░░░░░ a little uncomfortable but ░░░░░░░░ term they know that ░░░░░░░░ will be in their ░░░░░░░░ interest And they also ░░░░░░░░ smart enough not to ░░░░░░░░ the bait on all ░░░░░░░░ fearmongering They believe that ░░░░░░░░ that America will be ░░░░░░░░ on the right path ░░░░░░░░ that the person to ░░░░░░░░ that is President Trump ░░░░░░░░ So MCCLAIN Remember we ░░░░░░░░ making a massive switch ░░░░░░░░ EV mandates right which ░░░░░░░░ had to subsidize to ░░░░░░░░ trade And that s ░░░░░░░░ what my people in ░░░░░░░░ community and my district ░░░░░░░░ Thank you SANCHEZ Chairwoman ░░░░░░░░ contention is that Democrats ░░░░░░░░ conspiring with the CEOs ░░░░░░░░ auto companies to scare ░░░░░░░░ into thinking that prices ░░░░░░░░ going to go up ░░░░░░░░ s where those claims ░░░░░░░░ from MCCLAIN Your word ░░░░░░░░ mine SANCHEZ Well you ░░░░░░░░ just a moment ago ░░░░░░░░ Democrats and these CEOs ░░░░░░░░ somehow working together to ░░░░░░░░ up with these figures ░░░░░░░░ Well yes SANCHEZ that ░░░░░░░░ a result of tariffs ░░░░░░░░ that what you re ░░░░░░░░ So I that s ░░░░░░░░ you re suggesting MCCLAIN ░░░░░░░░ you need to do ░░░░░░░░ turn all you need ░░░░░░░░ do is turn on ░░░░░░░░ TV Look at your ░░░░░░░░ It s nothing but ░░░░░░░░ That s all the ░░░░░░░░ do What s inflation ░░░░░░░░ What s inflation up ░░░░░░░░ down Oh it s ░░░░░░░░ What s the prices ░░░░░░░░ eggs Oh they re ░░░░░░░░ What s the prices ░░░░░░░░ mortgage Oh it s ░░░░░░░░ right But we don ░░░░░░░░ cover the positive things ░░░░░░░░ only cover the negative ░░░░░░░░ to get everyone worked ░░░░░░░░ So here s two ░░░░░░░░ This could be a ░░░░░░░░ problem but it actually ░░░░░░░░ be a potential long ░░░░░░░░ solution But when you ░░░░░░░░ t want to cover ░░░░░░░░ other half and all ░░░░░░░░ talk about is the ░░░░░░░░ half of course that ░░░░░░░░ what you re going ░░░░░░░░ hear I would prefer ░░░░░░░░ give both sides of ░░░░░░░░ story SANCHEZ Chairwoman I ░░░░░░░░ That s what real ░░░░░░░░ used to newspeople used ░░░░░░░░ do is they would ░░░░░░░░ both sides of the ░░░░░░░░ So one side of ░░░░░░░░ story is yes potentially ░░░░░░░░ the short term listen ░░░░░░░░ could cause us some ░░░░░░░░ SANCHEZ Sure Sure MCCLAIN ░░░░░░░░ question But let s ░░░░░░░░ a look at the ░░░░░░░░ term Do you think ░░░░░░░░ s any benefits to ░░░░░░░░ long term I can ░░░░░░░░ with you that there ░░░░░░░░ benefits to the long ░░░░░░░░ if we can get ░░░░░░░░ on a level playing ░░░░░░░░ And that s what ░░░░░░░░ need to do SANCHEZ ░░░░░░░░ MCCLAIN Instead of just ░░░░░░░░ everyone all ginned up ░░░░░░░░ oh all the the ░░░░░░░░ is falling the sky ░░░░░░░░ falling let s talk ░░░░░░░░ the vision on what ░░░░░░░░ re actually trying to ░░░░░░░░ SANCHEZ Sure MCCLAIN which ░░░░░░░░ reverse the negative course ░░░░░░░░ Chairwoman MCCLAIN and put ░░░░░░░░ on track to be ░░░░░░░░ again respected again SANCHEZ ░░░░░░░░ thank you so much ░░░░░░░░ joining us MCCLAIN Thank ░░░░░░░░ SANCHEZ I wish you ░░░░░░░░ watch our show more ░░░░░░░░ because you would see ░░░░░░░░ we do have
