RUSH TRANSCRIPT Governor do ░░░░░░░░ want to respond to ░░░░░░░░ Amy said and Lauren ░░░░░░░░ point Joe Biden does ░░░░░░░░ a pretty lengthy record ░░░░░░░░ examine Yeah there s ░░░░░░░░ question about it But ░░░░░░░░ record cuts both ways ░░░░░░░░ ve heard a lot ░░░░░░░░ problems with the crime ░░░░░░░░ and there were problems ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden admitted those ░░░░░░░░ But the crime bill ░░░░░░░░ passed an assault weapons ░░░░░░░░ It passed a ban ░░░░░░░░ high capacity magazines something ░░░░░░░░ die for We would ░░░░░░░░ our right arm for ░░░░░░░░ assault weapons ban on ░░░░░░░░ capacity magazines So I ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden has a ░░░░░░░░ record a terrific record ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ of his career He ░░░░░░░░ nothing to apologize for ░░░░░░░░ fact there wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ an ACA without Joe ░░░░░░░░ There wouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ economic stimulus without Joe ░░░░░░░░ What about the first ░░░░░░░░ of debates governor which ░░░░░░░░ just a little more ░░░░░░░░ a month out month ░░░░░░░░ a day specifically It ░░░░░░░░ increasingly likely we will ░░░░░░░░ 20 candidates taking the ░░░░░░░░ that is the maximum ░░░░░░░░ by the DNC s ░░░░░░░░ rules What is your ░░░░░░░░ on how this whole ░░░░░░░░ is shaking out Do ░░░░░░░░ think the DNC set ░░░░░░░░ bar for qualifying too ░░░░░░░░ No look given what ░░░░░░░░ happened before Rick Santorum ░░░░░░░░ up winning Iowa and ░░░░░░░░ in 2008 coming very ░░░░░░░░ in 2012 coming very ░░░░░░░░ to being the nominee ░░░░░░░░ this time back in ░░░░░░░░ equivalent year Rick Santorum ░░░░░░░░ not have been able ░░░░░░░░ get into a debate ░░░░░░░░ you set the bar ░░░░░░░░ high I think the ░░░░░░░░ is set right It ░░░░░░░░ be tough with two ░░░░░░░░ with 10 candidates each ░░░░░░░░ s usually about 10 ░░░░░░░░ for each candidate It ░░░░░░░░ going to be tough ░░░░░░░░ get a feel for ░░░░░░░░ candidate I think the ░░░░░░░░ will be important as ░░░░░░░░ field begins to whittle ░░░░░░░░ You don t worry ░░░░░░░░ s counterproductive since you ░░░░░░░░ the majority of the ░░░░░░░░ right around 1 right ░░░░░░░░ Certainly under 2 You ░░░░░░░░ t think time you ░░░░░░░░ timing wise it s ░░░░░░░░ because it s early ░░░░░░░░ Sure it s June ░░░░░░░░ the year it s ░░░░░░░░ enough A candidate like ░░░░░░░░ Klobuchar who I think ░░░░░░░░ her positions on issues ░░░░░░░░ very well suited to ░░░░░░░░ the candidate for the ░░░░░░░░ Amy Klobuchar suffers from ░░░░░░░░ fact not a lot ░░░░░░░░ people know who she ░░░░░░░░ Maybe in the debate ░░░░░░░░ will begin to focus ░░░░░░░░ an Amy club Klobuchar ░░░░░░░░ Pete Buttigieg I think ░░░░░░░░ s perfect right now ░░░░░░░░ the field will whittle ░░░░░░░░ as candidates start to ░░░░░░░░ off And two Republicans ░░░░░░░░ on the panel ladies ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ these stages will be ░░░░░░░░ for the debates 10 ░░░░░░░░ 10 0 that s ░░░░░░░░ lot of candidates Do ░░░░░░░░ think that helps the ░░░░░░░░ or hurts the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ have this kind of ░░░░░░░░ when the only other ░░░░░░░░ being had on the ░░░░░░░░ side surrounds Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ you first Well it ░░░░░░░░ just so reminiscent of ░░░░░░░░ I think you will ░░░░░░░░ a lot of dem ░░░░░░░░ inviting about who s ░░░░░░░░ which debate Republicans got ░░░░░░░░ lot of criticism four ░░░░░░░░ they called the kiddie ░░░░░░░░ debates or debates for ░░░░░░░░ candidates pulling left But ░░░░░░░░ think overall I think ░░░░░░░░ Republicans are helped by ░░░░░░░░ fact that they do ░░░░░░░░ one candidate to focus ░░░░░░░░ Yes there are challengers ░░░░░░░░ governor weld I know ░░░░░░░░ there s been talk ░░░░░░░░ Justin Amash coming in ░░░░░░░░ a libertarian candidate But ░░░░░░░░ of the talk on ░░░░░░░░ left I think all ░░░░░░░░ the infighting you know ░░░░░░░░ think it could serve ░░░░░░░░ benefit Republicans but I ░░░░░░░░ think it s a ░░░░░░░░ too early to know ░░░░░░░░ your thoughts on the ░░░░░░░░ I would agree with ░░░░░░░░ that if Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ each other they re ░░░░░░░░ fighting President Trump I ░░░░░░░░ also suggest that President ░░░░░░░░ has no problem getting ░░░░░░░░ Yeah point well taken ░░░░░░░░ three of you have ░░░░░░░░ great holiday weekend.
