Nominate justices of the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs. No matter the time, no matter the politics of the day the president is the president. Theres nothing in the constitution that says the president stops being the president in an Election Year. The president has already appointed 2 strong conservative justices to the Supreme Court, justices who will interpret the constitution as written. Now he will nominate a third. As senator ted cruz reminds us we are one vote away from seeing our religious liberty votes stripped away from our freespeech stripped away from our Second Amendment stripped away, just one vote. Contrast the president constitutional duty with democrats search and destroy politics. Nancy pelosi has out to attack the president with arrows. Your policy will not rule out impeaching this president for doing her his job, for fulfilling hisconstitutional obligation. Aoc said impeachment as an option on the table while Chuck Schumer stood by nodding approvingly area the plan of House Democrats is so radical even democrat senator tim kane has rebuked the idea on the idea of using impeachment to delay a Supreme Court quote foolish. Some democrats already have a backup plan if they dont get their way on this nomination. Harassment joe kennedy said if he holds about in 2020 we pack the court in 2021. Its that simple. Senator ed markey went further, no Supreme Court vacancies told in an Election Year he said. If he violates it when democrats control the senate we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court area senator, the president is elected to a fouryear term. You cannot unilaterally revisit to three years. The president is thepresident. Democrats cannot win their argument on the merits. They cannot win on precedent so they must search and destroy riyadh don lemon said the quiet part out loud last night. He said this. Are going to have to blow up the entire system is the president does his job as outlined in the constitution. Thats the difference between republicans and democrats. We fight to protect the system. We like to protect the constitution. When democrats say outright we are going to blow up the entire system becausewe did not get our way this president will proceed undaunted by democrats threats. President trumpwill fulfill his duty. President trump will appoint the next Supreme Court justice. President trump will protect religious liberty and our freedom of speech. President trump will protect our Second Amendment. Under this president our rights will be upheld and are constitution safeguarded and this president will fill that seat and with that i willtake questions. As you know the country has a 200,000 deaths from the coronavirus. What do you say to americans who are outraged over this and blame thisadministration for so many lives lost in this country . As youve heard several doctors note on this podium we are looking at the process of 2 Million People potentially perishing on the coronavirus in thiscountry. We breathe when even one life is lost the fact that we have come nowhere near that number is a testament to this president taking immediate action. Shutting down travel from china, when the other Party Democrats were saying that was beautiful the period for shutting down travel from europe, for developing landmark therapeutics that are working like remdesivir. Europe has experienced a higher mortality rate if i can follow up last night the president said that one of his rallies about the president , he was talking about number of americans, he said it affects virtually nobody and by the way everybody open your schools but he said to bob woodward its not just older people, its young people to at 200,000 deaths should the president be telling people the truth about this virus at his rallies . The president is telling the truth. He said it affects virtually nobody and it doesnt affect young people hes not telling the truth. Your again taking the president out of context. I have his full quote here and youre right he was referring to young people. On not taking it out of context, if i said he was talking about young people. You are taking it out of context because youre asserting hes not getting critical information when he is notowhat he said and he saidthis. You know in some states thousands of people and they had nobody young below the age of 18, like nobody. Have a strong immune system. You can go to the American Academy of pediatrics website , the Childrens Hospital association and they missed out a number of states that have zero pediatric deaths. They can contract the coronavirus and discredits older people and for the president of the United States and 200,000 deaths to go out to his rallies and Say Something like it affects virtually nobody and in some states its notaffecting young people , that is glossing over the facts and really menacing the fact that young people can test this virus and discredits older people. Other people and also the second and killed by this virus. You have a quote there with you . Its exactly as i read to you that in several states, they have had zero pediatric deaths. I have the entire list you, district of columbia, hawaii, idaho, kansas and the list goes on and as you may not know jim the covid has a. 01 percent mortality rate for people under the age of 18 is not a disease that affects young people in the same way as older people which is the exact point president was making last night. One person does believe the president had a Constitutional Authority to make a nomination for the Supreme Court and the senate as a constitutionalobligation to provide advise and consent. Utah senator mitt romney the last 3 and a half years the president and romney have found themselves at odds. They said unkind if not in for things about each other, how is the president feeling about mitt romney today. The president has spoken to him about senator romney is recognizing what any of us who take it clear i precedent recognized, that the president is onour side here. A nine times has there been an appointment during Election Year, 29 times and when you break down those numbers, 19 times and those nominations were made the senate and president were of the same party. 17 of those 19 times nominee went on to the conference. The 10 times when it was a different and party between republicans and democrats and the presidency only two went on to be confirmed so precedent is on our side. Democrats are trying to have it both ways here and i would cite down the blocking of National Review who said hes right, choosing not to fill a vacancy would be a historically unprecedented unilateral dismemberment. So timing out is the next issue, the president will have 37 to 38 days from the time you make theannouncement to the last time you can have a vote before the election. John paul stevens was not edited and confirmed in 19 days, chief Justice John Roberts and 24. Justice Sandra Day Oconnor in 33. Times were different backthen and they are now, and you do it in 37 days . We certainly believe we can. Youve heard mystic wordfrom senator graham. How will you do it . We will go about it the way we always have i putting together a textual originalist the American People will appreciate and will get through the approval process, the nomination confirmationprocess i say quite quickly. Two quick questions, on the 200,000 deaths, will the president recognize that publicly today. At his feet or on twitter . Is this something that he would like to express remorse over or something to people who have lost . The president throughout this candidate has done just that. He said before thinking of even one life lost. This president has taken incredibly seriously and what nissan is hes worked harder than everyday. He puts his head down and i think thats very evident in the administrations historic response, the largest mobilization of the private sector since worldwar ii. The fact that we got working therapeutics to the American People, the fact that vaccines, this will be the fastest pace for a vaccine for a novel pathogenic in history as we seek to reach that goal by the end of the year. The fact using the fatality rate has fallen 85 percent since april and the fact only 1. 5 percent of emergency room visits are now people sick with covid is a testament to the hard work done by the Task Force President trump. Kenny speak about why the president refers to have the confirmation before the election . How does he think this will help cory gardner and jodi ernst . I think one of the low points for this process was that cavanaugh hearings and what president s did there, making baseless allegations against justice kavanaugh, someone respected prior to President Trump appointing him by everyone and democrats his name through the month. The president wants to see a fair confirmation process and he wants to see one that does not look like what happened to kavanaugh, that was a low point for democrats. Were there stumbles inthe kavanaugh confirmation process will help republicans . Democrats really showed themselves at the lowest point in that confirmation process. The American People saw democrats for the partisan games they play an American People are looking out and saying nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer talking about impeachment or executing our power in article 2 section 2, its inane and outlandish the things theyre suggesting and they seem to be doubling down on their kavanaugh approach. It will work out well this time in an Election Year. First on covid if i can the president gave himself an a for his handling of covid but a for his pr. What the president was saying is he wants to make sure we get good information to the American People. Thats something i think weve done. This president. He said he was downplaying it so purposely he was providing information at times that wasnt true. That inaccurate, the present never downplayed Critical Health information, never downplayed our Covid Response and you can see that by the historic effort we put forward and i would also point you to doctor fauci who said i dont recall anything different in our discussions with the president and he said sings similarly in public and he was asked by john roberts in his defense that he was or wasnt playing this down. Noi didnt and thats an assertion by the Vice President. Hundred million tests weve exceeded the vaccine on record case, the therapeutics, the fact that we brought therapy down 18 percent, this was a novel pathogenic which there were no test and there were no identified therapeutics but they were identified quickly and when you look at the fact we are manufacturing this commercial levels i was told by the doctorsallowing that that takes me years to do. They were already producing the goal of 100 million doses. Thats a testament to this president. What is plan before the whitehouse . We have six vaccines. Six vaccines weve identified , three of them in phase 3 article trials and theres also one, where getting there by the end of the year the goal is. What would we do if theyre not approved . We have six candidates and we have a strong belief we will identify one, more than one working vaccine by the end of the year. Producing them in advance we already have a Distribution Plan and when you compare this context matters, taking 14 months to get the phase 3 Clinical Trial wealready have two candidates. A bullet took three years to get to completion and we will have to miss in under a year, the fastest rate for a novel pathogen in history. The president did retweet estimate from Rush Limbaugh where limbaugh said it would be great from publicans get to the hearing altogether or it does the president want Republicans Committee hearings often mark a coequal branchof government and why is he directing them to do anything . The president appreciate his commentary but were working with the senate right now on the confirmation process and senator grahamhas said it looks like it will be on a three day timeline. One on stimulus, taking from the president planning with justice lagoa, he said he had spoken to candidates beforehand. I dont know if he talked about any of the others. I wont get into his private meetings. Go find out its an originalist he is appointing. On wall street concerns that the Supreme Court killed the lastgasp of getting this deal done before the election but does the white house agree thats probably not going to happen until the election if at all or if you are still hopeful, the president says when the time is right, he be willing to reach out to speaker pelosi. It seems like theyre getting down into the lastlegislative phase. Its the time now, right . We wanted to see if they formally fill the American People and its why the chief of staff secretary mnuchin have been in negotiations but unfortunately they been in negotiation with an unserious partisan main speaker policy who said shed exceed what she asked for, she then would reject the money that was in excess with what we she previously for democrats shown what they were about when they filibustered a bill that would have provided 300 a week to the American People through december 27. They filibustered that last week with this point, the onus is on speaker policy so we encourage her to send one off bill for airline funding or other elements that we can work through the process to get to the American People and its always been the president s priority to do that. You might see a oneoff go before election. The onus is on nancy pelosi. We, 1. 5 trillion so its possible she become serious in these negotiations but at this point if she doesnt want to deliver relief to the American People to that degree she can one off some bills that we would look at and be happy to move forward with the priority has always been getting money to the American People which is why the president has had those egos on an unemployment insurance. The first president ial debate is a week from today and maybe expect the Supreme Court issued impact that the. A lot of is for the campaign with regards to the debates i have to review their i think the American People are going to get a very clear i look as they have with the previous two nominees weve made of what this president stands for, that he wants a judge who will protect our on the lights, are essential liberties who looks at the constitution as written, not hypothetically interpret that document. Looks at the plain meaning of statutes implement that in a way that a true textual list what you president will accept the First Amendment and these fundamental rights are at stake should another party have their way, with the judiciary but this president will continue to appoint justices in the mold of kavanaugh. The democrats are threatening to justices to the Supreme Court. Does that concern you atall as you go about the process . Its unfortunately another example of trying to blow up the system if you dont get your way. Democrats will blow up the system. They will change the system and travel on the constitution and i point them to the words of Justice Ginsburg who called Court Packing a bad idea. She said 19 to the number. I think packing the court was abad idea when Franklin Delano roosevelt tried and im not in favor of all that. I had a question on the virus but i wanted to follow up. He asked about the speaker, as the president called the speaker about the recovery bill andwhy not if you want to get this done . And is he calling other lawmakers as well . Im not aware of any conversation they had. Thereve been indications through the chief of staff and the secretary of treasury but until speaker policy becomes curious and her negotiating instead of engaging in Political Drama were really at a stalemate the ball is in her court to become serious in these negotiations. They been negotiating and when we believe the speaker is in a serious can move forward other conversations but at this point when you ask for a certain amount of School Funding exceed that and you reject the access for School Funding it shows where a mindset is that. Some holes are showing a majority of americans dont trust what the president is saying on the virus on a vaccine and i wonder if you all can keep talking about the vaccine coming out, are you going to people to believe that the vaccine is safe and that people should go getit when it does, . What is the process going to look like . I think for i want to point out several of the doctors have been on record and have said this vaccine is going through the same rigorous process as doctor understand all fda decisions will continue to be based only on good science and data as doctor fauci said there are no corners being caught several others are terry lazar have been on the reco
