View highlights from the interview below. On American Women Rallying In Support Of President Trump’s America First Agenda: “Shannon, I think it’s important for viewers to know that President Trump is doing better among women than Kamala Harris is doing among men. There is a significant gender gap, but President Trump is over performing. Kamala Harris is significantly underperforming. President Trump’s campaign has strong, intelligent women deployed across the country. I’ve been on the campaign trail. Lara Trump is on the campaign trail, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, all of the women are working together to turn out the vote, and we’re going to earn this support, because if you look at President Trump’s record when it comes to women, it was the highest number of women ever in the workforce, the largest wage and salary increase for working women ever. Child care was affordable, and we had safety and security, whether it was a secure border or a president that supported our law enforcement. Look at what’s happening today across this country, impacting women. Inflation. I’m still the grocery shopper in my family. Women go and they see the impact of Kamala’s failed economic policies, with increased prices at the grocery store, increased utility costs, energy costs, and then, of course, you have the wide open border, which safety and security is a top issue for women. So President Trump is going to continue to talk about his record, as well as many strong and intelligent women surrogates who are out there. And what I think is very telling is Kamala Harris’s campaign. Kamala Harris did not condemn Mark Cuban’s just disgraceful comments saying that President Trump does not surround himself with strong, intelligent women, whether you compare it to the First Lady, his daughter, Ivanka Trump, or so many senior level women that are working in support of his campaign.”
On President Trump’s Pro-Family Policies & Unprecedented Support For IVF: “President Trump has been very clear. He believes that this issue should be decided at the states. He has been specific over out his time in office. He supports three exceptions, life, rape and incest and life of the mother. That is very important for voters to know. And when it comes to IVF, that is a false smear. President Trump wants to expand access to IVF, make birth control available. And the reason why Democrats are only talking about this issue, is because these are scare tactics, because they are losing on every other issue, whether it’s the economy, the border, safety and security around the world, we are going to run and win. And I think that women, as they look at the key top issues, they are increasingly looking at their lives were much better under President Trump versus the crises that we’ve seen that are Kamala Harris today.”
On House Republicans’ Commitment To Bringing Back American Manufacturing: “No, the Speaker is very clear. He said, we need to strengthen the CHIPS Act to make sure that the jobs actually come in America. One of the critiques of the CHIPS Act is that they’re too much for other countries, where jobs are created there and not here, right at home. It is important in Upstate New York. It’s important in the state of Arizona and other states across the country. President Trump’s economic policy is America First, not these giveaways to other countries. The other part of the CHIPS Act that is problematic that we want to get rid of a small part is the Green New Deal subsidies. We want to promote manufacturing in the United States. And that’s what President Trump believes. That’s what Republicans believe. And that’s what the Speaker was saying, get rid of these Far Left, progressive, radical Green New Deal subsidies and actually focus on manufacturing chips in America. That’s what we’re focused on.”
On President Trump & House Republicans’ Commitment To Lower Costs And Improve Healthcare: “We want to improve healthcare. We want to lower costs. We want to make sure that people have access, whether you’re in rural, suburban or urban communities. That’s what President Trump is focused on. If you talk to anyone, Shannon, they continue to see their price of healthcare go up and up under Kamala Harris’ failed administration with Joe Biden. So we want to lower those costs, make health care accessible for all, and improve it in America. That’s why you’re seeing this slogan, ‘Make America Healthy Again’, that is resonating with the American people who feel that we can do so much better. President Trump is leading that movement with a big tent Republican Party that is focused on improving health care outcomes and access for every American.”
On President Trump’s Historic Inroads In New York State: “Well, certainly President Trump on the ballot is a net gain to every Republican candidate for Senate and House. And as we’ve seen in 2016 and 2020 House Republicans consistently over perform when President Trump is on the ballot. And in both of those cycles, the prognosticators predicted that we would lose seats. We picked up seats in both of those cycles. You know, New York. I’m from New York. Obviously, New York is the epicenter for the race for the House Republican majority. Republicans, when it comes to early vote, are voting increased by 50% compared to where we were in 2022 and that was the cycle when, of course, we flipped those five House seats. So we are working hard to turn out our votes. The most important part of this election is getting those votes. So I want to encourage all the viewers to turn out to vote, but we feel very strongly, and we’re going to win on the issues. And Kamala Harris is underperforming Joe Biden in every single swing district across the country. If you look at Joe Biden’s performance in 2020 so districts in New York that Joe Biden carried by 15 points, Donald Trump is up by one or two points. That’s a 16 point significant shift, and that’s one of the districts that the prognosticators moved in the wrong direction towards Democrats. I believe you’re going to see a sweeping Republican victory along with the presidential on Election Day. We just need to get our voters out to vote. They are voting early. Election Day is going to be very important.”
On House Republicans Outperforming With President Trump On The Ballot: “Again, I’ve been on the ballot with President Trump in 2016 and 2020 and Republicans surge and turn out to vote on Election Day, not just Republicans, but unaffiliated voters as well, who President Trump is able to speak to and get them out to the polls. I think on a good night, we can win up to 10 seats Shannon, which would be a sizable Republican majority. We’re not taking anything for granted, but the issues are on our side. People want a secure border. They want a strong economy. They want peace through strength and a strong international security around the world. On every top issue, Republicans are winning. President Trump is winning, and I think we could be in for some surprises on Election Day that House Republicans will over perform the predictions.”
On Kamala Harris & Far Left Democrats’ Dangerous Rhetoric Smearing American Voters: “You know, certainly I think it’s a trend that Democrats are saying out loud what they really believe. First, they called us deplorables, then they called us Nazis, then Mark Cuban said there’s no strong or intelligent women around President Trump. And just yesterday, you had Kathy Hochul smearing voters who support Republicans as anti-American Democrats are saying out loud, and they’re attacking the American people and voters with that rhetoric. Look, we can have political disagreements. We’re running to win on the issues. President Trump is running to unify this country on goals of securing the border, strengthening the economy. So Kamala Harris should have condemned that, and they didn’t. Their campaign failed to do that, and that’s offensive to so many women across this country, not just elected official women, but Gold Star moms, Gold Star wives, women, veterans who are proudly supporting President Trump.” |
