Harrington, the National Spokesperson for the Republican National committee. She is here to discuss campaign 2020. Liz, good morning. Guest good morning. Host we have to ask about this New York Times story that claims President Trump paid 750 in income tax, federal income tax in 2016 and 2017. What do you think about that story . Guest first of all, the president said a lot of it most of it is inaccurate. A couple of other things to point out, the New York Times, all these years later, it is nice to have them say no connection to russia after releasing tens of millions of our hardearned taxpayer dollars on this complete scam. More is coming out that we are learning what president obama and Vice President did to disrupt the incoming peaceful transition of power in 2016. More importantly, the American People care more about what is in their tax returns. T it shows that they paid where it shows that they paid less taxes under President Trump. They dont care about this issue. This is the 10th time the New York Times has tried this. Americans care more that we hit an alltime high in immediate Household Income under President Trump in 2019. Host do you think that releasing his tax forms would quell this type of questioning about his taxes for this president and possibly even future president s or have we set a precedent where we no longer tax returns from president ial candidates . Guest the president has released hundreds and hundreds of pages of financial disclosures. He has been transparent, most and partly about what he is going to do in office. Releasing a list of who he would put on the highest court in the land, that was unprecedented. That is a good new president to set, even though joe biden will not be honest with the American People who about who he would put on the Supreme Court. The issues that actually matter, we know President Trump was a successful is in this manner he built an empire. It is amazing to see all of reporters who have never run a business and never employed anyone in their life, try to scrutinize that has someone that has had so much success in the Business World and then use that success to make that country better. It is really unfortunate because there is so much more we could be focusing on, especially about where the country is and what President Trump has accomplished and they will never give him positive coverage. That is too bad. Host all of this comes up right before the president ial first president ial debate. And right as President Trumps Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, is heading to the hill. Do you think that this story is going to distract from those important ones . Guest i dont think it is high on the list of american of the American People. President trump, for years, has said he has been under audit. They attacked him throughout the Obamabiden Administration. That was also proven correct. Americans care more about what is in their pocketbooks. They care more about President Trump delivering the greatest tax cuts we have ever seen and them taking in more of their hardearned money, not the government. Here you have joe biden, we cannot see Hunter Bidens tax returns. We are just now learning that he got a 3. 5 million Wire Transfer from the wife of a former mayor in moscow. We would like to see his tax returns. Purelys wealth that was gained off the taxpayer, off of corruption in washington. And that is what i think Americans Care more about. We know President Trump build his empire in the private sector. He built an amazing business route he did not have to come to washington and take this job. He did not need it. He wanted to make a difference and make america the bidens have been in the swamp for half a century, joe biden. The media immediate Household Income of the bidens hit an alltime high but it never hit an alltime high for the American People when they were in the white house. Host you will have to admit that hunter biden is not running for Public Office so he is not required or even expected to release his tax forms, right . Guest he is not but his father is. We know everywhere his father went, including beijing, including when he was running the socalled anticorruption effort in ukraine, his son ended up on the board of the biggest Natural Gas Company in ukraine. It is funny how democrats are profracking when it comes to Foreign Countries and they can get paid but they are promising to ban fracking in the United States because it would hurt american workers. These are the big issues here. Americans were tired. In 2016, we said enough of the same old lies and politicians telling the same old stories while they got rich. What about our jobs, what about the bad trade deals . President trump said i will come in and get a better deal for americans and it has worked. It has paid off. This is what Americans Care about. President has been proven right in what he promised to the American People. Joe biden, what has he ever done for americans except his family . He has never followed through previous not being transparent now as well. When there are 70 questions can you imagine . Hunter biden might not be on the ballot but neither is donald junior but he had to sit through 50 hours under oath of testimony when they were trying to ruin anyone associated with President Trump on a complete and total lie. On something that was not even true. I think this is a huge issue Going Forward, when you see what the swamp does. They smell you and they leak and they lie and they start these investigations. When you have real corruption, flyer transfers in blackandwhite, talk about collusion, talk about connections with russia and also the Chinesecommunist Party and the media does not want to touch it. We know what would happen if it was someone with the last name of trump. Host since you brought up the president s son and you brought up joe bidens son, would you be an advocate for the direct family of residential candidates also being forced to release their tax forms as well . Gotten thate not question before. I am not sure. Who knows . I have heard donald trump, jr. Say he would be happy to debate hunter biden. I think the American People would love to see that. Host lets remind our viewers that they can take part in the conversation as well. We will open up special lines for this segment. Of joeare a supporter biden and Kamala Harris, your number will be 202 7488000. If you are a supporter of President Trump and Vice President mike pence, we want you to call 202 7488001. If you are undecided or support another president ial ticket, your number will be 202 7488002. Keep in mind, you can always text us at 202 7488003. And we are always on social jedia on twitter at cspan w and on facebook at facebook. Com cspan2 lets talk about Amy Coney Barrett. With this Supreme Court pick to the hill, do you think President Trumps selection of Amy Coney Barrett will motivate voters to vote for or even against President Trump in the election . Guest it is galvanizing to the supporters. It is a promise President Trump ran on in 2016. Republicans ran on it again in 2018. It is a direct reason why we expanded our majority in the United States senate. President trump, with the leadership and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has filled over 200 20 judges throughout the federal judiciary. This 220 judges throughout the federal judiciary. This is the promise fulfilled. Hase kony barrett impeccable qualifications. You could not find a better lawyer. , who is noah feldman one of the democratic impeachment attorneys who clerked with judge barrett when they were clerking for the Supreme Court in the 90s and said she was qualified then to be on the highest court of the land. And she is the single best lawyer he had ever seen. Not only just her academic credentials and her record on the seventh circuit, she is also a woman of great integrity, great family stories, seven children. She is the first working mom to be seated on the Supreme Court. We think it is a fabulous nominee. There is no one that could object to her on her record or qualifications and integrity and character. We will continue to fill our promises. The comps to touche and says the president constitution says the president gets to appoint and the syndicates to advise and consent. It will galvanize and motivate our voters. Konye excited to see judge barrett seated before our election. Host one of the issues that comes up before every Supreme Court nomination is roe v. Wade. Gop does President Trump want to see roe v. Wade under turned overturned . Guest the president did not discuss it. We have a judge that will not legislate from the bench but will follow the law and the constitution. She has been clear, transparent like President Trump has been transparent about the type of jurists he would appoint. She believes the role of the judge is not to be another politician. To take yourd views out of and look at what the letter of the law says and the constitution says. That is what she will do. Our lets let some of viewers join in the conversation. Lets start with terry from illinois. Terry supports President Trump. Good morning. Caller good morning. I am sure glad to see who you have on today. What does religion have to do with anything . That is part of constitutional rights. Another thing on the taxes, why do the democrats always like to use it as a tool . They dont like it, giving corporations tax breaks, change the law. One other thing i would like to ask, do you think it would be good that cspan would have , discussing the mental state of joe and President Trump . Because what i see is early dementia. And for cspan, it is a shame to paye taxpayers have and fund cspan when you are a lenient group. Host go ahead and respond. Guest i agree with terrys comments about judge barrett. Her religion has nothing to do with it. To see senator Dianne Feinstein and other democrats and members of the media attacking judge barretts personal faith. It has no place in our country and our politics. We have religious liberty in this country. It is one of the core issues we were founded upon. Looking at a broader aspect of all of this, President Trump is a defender of religious liberty. We are seeing a tendency by the Democratic Party to be intolerant of people for their religious belief. I think that has no place in our politics, especially when you look at what Kamala Harris has done, grilling other members that were going to be filling the judicial appointment, going after their affiliation with the knights of columbus, which is a very mainstream catholic group. It is the same tactic they tried against judge barrett. I think it will really cost them if they continue down that path. Our viewers remind that cspan is not funded by taxpayers. Cspan is funded by the cable industry. Lets keep going and lets talk to donald who is coming from michigan. Donald supports joe biden. Good morning. Caller good morning. Good morning cspan and good morning to elizabeth. I will try to stay i have three quick things. Callt want to cause this young lady a liar on national tv. But trump told the American People he would show his taxes. He did not. The russia investigation, Robert Mueller proved that the Trump Campaign was willing to work with the russians. They found no evidence that he worked with the russians. His people on the campaign were willing to work with the russian government. That was proven. Biden andys that joe his son should show their taxes or their dealings. Lets see what the dealings with the Chinese Government that trumps daughter has, many patents that were approved during this administration. Trump is a liar. This lady is supporting a liar. And the Supreme Court justice pic, it was ok for mcconnell to use themas picks and American People as his reason. Now that he has another pic in an election year, he says the American People are too stupid to understand this. I will make the decision. Host go ahead and respond, liz. Guest i love that qualifier there. Donald. Perfectly fine, willingness to accept help, that is interesting terminology. What do you call it when you actually solicit foreign help . When you hire x british spies who then hire russian spies who make up lies about the president during the election, which then the Obama Biden Justice Department used to spy on their political opponents . That is called a dossier, that is called a complete sham and it is also called corruption. Country was this put through for over three years. Why . All because the democrats lost an election. That was your corruption. There was never any connection with russia and President Trump that has been proven time and time again. The connection was the dossier, foreign russian disinformation that has now been confirmed with more and more information coming out. They used these disgusting lies to go after a duly elected president of the United States. You want to talk about the American People and an election . Our votes mattered in 2016. There were 63 million americans who said enough of the swamp and we want President Trump. Immigrants did not expect that outcome. They did democrats did not expect that outcome. They did everything to spy and disrupt the transition before he was sworn in. This was not by the book as susan rice said to herself on inauguration day. That is your disinformation and foreign meddling. It was never anything the republicans were doing. Hillary the dnc, clinton paid for a disinformation operation. I think it is terrible that the media was complicit in all of this and still will not report on the truth coming out of the evidence of all of the corruption that was going on in the obamabiden white house and the justice department. Host you brought up transition of power. Lets talk about what President Trump set about whether he would and participate in a peaceful transfer of power if he happens to lose in november. Senator mcconnell has disagreed with what the president said. What is the position of the are in c on the transition of power the transition of power if the election does not go the president s way . Guest the president was talking about this. If you want to see something that is not he spoke, go to a democratic run city, go to portland. It is unbelievable that democrats are even trying to it ishis red herring when their cities and voters and states that are having mobs outside of their opponents homes , senator Lindsey Grahams apartment. Host lets answer the question first. Guest it is very important. You have democrats who are literally joe biden is saying the rights. If you elect me. Democrats are not being peaceful right now. Nobody is saying anything about not having a peaceful transition. What we are saying is there will not be a transition when we win the election. President trump will have another four years. He is ringing the alarm bells, which we have seen time and time and time again. We are not just going to say oh, sure, we will accept result two weeks after election day after democrats ballot harvest the number of votes needed to flip the states. We will not accept that. Why would we . Democrats are trying to usher in a manipulated process. We have been fighting it all summer. We watched protect the vote. Com. You can see the different states where democrats have gone into try to change our election laws, allow ballots to be counted weeks after election day. Allow signatures to be on the ballot. Allow ballot harvesting, which is illegal in the vast majority of states. It is only legal in california because they think it is a good idea to have eight Camp
