View highlights from her interview below:

On Kamala Harris Pushing Radical Pro-Hamas Talking Points:

“It is a disgrace. Kamala Harris has revealed so much about herself and her vision for America these last few weeks. The fact that she said that that individual was not welcome, President Trump was correct to say that we welcome believers and Christians to support this America First movement. And Kamala Harris must not understand our founding principles. We were founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic in the United States of America, and it is so off-putting to voters. And this of course comes after, you mentioned this, Larry, her skipping the Al Smith Dinner which is a great bipartisan dinner, traditionally, that raises money for Catholic charities in my home state of New York. It’s a must go-to event typically. The last candidate who didn’t go there was Walter Mondale, and we remember how much he lost by. And President Trump absolutely knocked it out of the park with his spot on jokes, with his tone. And of course, the clip you’re referencing is when Kamala Harris agreed with the radical pro-Hamas talking points blaming Israel for genocide. She said that individual was right. That individual is so wrong. And the American people understand that that individual is wrong, and it was just pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist talking points. The United States and the American people strongly support Israel.”

On Kamala Harris Sympathizing With an Anti-Israel Protestor:

“It’s not just biased, Larry. It’s flat out wrong. It’s the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists who are seeking to make genocide against Israel not the other way around. Israel is fighting for its very existence. It’s fighting for its self-defense, and it’s Hamas and Hezbollah who are using civilians as civilian shields. And the United States and our next president must stand strong with Israel and bring that moral leadership and moral clarity to these issues. President Trump brings that moral leadership and brings that moral clarity. But you know what was so telling about these comments, Larry, is they’re off the cuff. And she has revealed so much about what her actual positions are. No matter how much her campaign is having to correct these disgraceful statements, she’s saying these things unscripted, off the cuff, revealing who she really is, how radical she really is and out of touch with the vast majority of American people’s position. Whether it’s that we respect Christians in this country. I am a proud Catholic in this country, and I am so proud that President Trump has so many believers who are supporting his campaign. We also are a country that stands strongly with Israel, and we need to fire the Administration, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who have turned their back on Israel at their most important time of need.”

On President Trump Appealing to Hardworking Men and Women Voters:

“I make of it that the media, the mainstream media, had propped up Kamala Harris, and the more the American people are hearing directly from her, the less support she has. I agree with you, Larry, that the Al Smith Dinner was an important inflection point, and here’s why: because unlike the mainstream media’s attacks incessantly on President Trump, this was vintage President Trump at his best, which is most of the time actually. He has a great sense of humor. He has a great understanding of culturally where we are as a country. And the vast majority of the American people, America First policies are policies that they agree with. And the fact that Kamala Harris is so out of touch that they think skipping a Catholic charities dinner is going to appeal to the majority of voters. They thought that was going to be a good political decision. It shows how radicalized and Far Left today’s Democrat Party is. And then let’s take the McDonalds visit: this is a home run for President Trump. This is why he appeals so much to hardworking men and women across this country. He knocked it out of the park. I think it was a brilliant strategy. And we’re going to continue working on behalf of the Trump campaign, earning the vote in these key states but across the country, and politically, Larry, I think these House Congressional races, which I’m paying a lot of attention to since I’m a House member in leadership, Kamala Harris is underperforming where Joe Biden was in 2020 in every single House race in the country. That bodes very well to not only win the presidency but gain seats in the House and flip the Senate.”
