Nicole Shanahan explains why she is endorsing a 'unity coalition' | Cuomo

>> THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY. AND FIRST, WHAT DO YOU MAKE ALL OF MY LAMENT AND EXPOSURE OF HOW MUCH MONEY IS NOW MOTIVATING THE GAME. >> IT'S REFRESHING TO SEE CHRIS CA. YOU JUST DID A REALLY GREAT BREAKDOWN. 10 BILLION DOLLARS ESTIMATED GO INTO THIS CAMPAIGN. WHAT IS THAT MONEY BEING USED FOR? WELL, I CAN TELL YOU IT'S BEING USED TO TAKE OUT OPPONENT'S AND I CAN TELL YOU THE DEMOCRATS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE RAISE LAST FROM THEIR TOP 10 DONORS, THEY PUT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY COMPARED TO THE REPUBLICANS TO TAKE OUT A 3RD PARTIES PACK SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO TAKE THEM OUT. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY OF THAT FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THAT HAS BEEN A REAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR US. COULD IT EVER EXPECTED IT ANTICIPATED? BUT IT HAD A REALLY BIG IMPACT ON ME HOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO ASSESS WHERE THAT PARTY ACTUALLY IS TODAY WHERE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS. NEITHER IS GREAT. AS AS YOU MENTIONED, BOTH KIND ARE IN THE POCKETS OF BIG BUSINESS. BUT THERE IS S CERTAI THERE ARE CERTAIN PRINCIPLES THAT ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY. I THINK ONE OF THOSE PRINCIPLES AS ALLOWING 3RD PARTIES TO HAVE A FREE AND FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE. AND AND THE LESSON HERE TODAY IS THAT, YOU KNOW AT A TIME WHERE AS A 3RD PARTY, WE HAD TO DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A COALITION. WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE GOING TO BE. WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO OUR SCRIPT AROUND CHRONIC HEALTH. THAT IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN. AND AND SO HERE WE ARE TODAY. >> HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT SUSPENDING THE CAMPAIGN AND JOINING TRUMP BY JUST TO BE TRANSPARENT. I THOUGHT YOU GUYS OR AT LEAST BOBBY SHOULD OF INDOOR SNOW BODY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU MORE JUICE FOR THE DURATION OF THIS CAMPAIGN BECAUSE YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE COMMENTATORS IN CHIEF AND YOU COULD HAVE A DOOR INDOORS LATER IN THE PRODUCT AND THE PROCESS, BUT HE DECIDED TO DO IT NOW. WERE YOU IN FAVOR? AND IF SO, WHY? >> YOU KNOW, LET'S BE CLEAR. THE POWER OF A 3RD PARTY AND INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT IS TO ENDORSE IDEAS, NOT PEOPLE. I'M KAMALA DEMOCRAT. NORA, MAYA TRUMP, REPUBLICAN. WHAT I AM IS AN INDEPENDENT AMERICAN FOCUS LASER FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES. WHAT WE DID ON FRIDAY WAS AMAZING BECAUSE WE CROSS THE CHASM. WE FOUND SOMEBODY WHO IS WILLING TO PUT THESE IDEAS ON CENTER STAGE. MILLIS OF PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME HEARD BOBBY'S VOICE. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE THE CHRONIC HEALTH DISEASE CRISIS IS IN THIS COUNTRY. THIS IS NOT A FRINGE ISSUE ANYMORE. BODY IS NOT A FRINGE PERSON AS HE'S BEEN MIRED BY THE MSM. HE IS FRONT AND CENTER FOCUSING ON WHAT AMERICANS CARE ABOUT MOST. AND HE HAD ALMOST 30,000 PEOPLE ON STAGE ON FRIDAY SHOUTING HIS NAME. AND, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT TRTRUMP TO HIS CREDIT PUT OUT A HAND, SHOOK HIS HAND AND SAID, LET'S DO THIS. LET'S ENGAGE ON IDEAS THAT MATTER. LET'S ENGAGE ON POLICIES THAT MATTER. WE DON'T AGREE ON EVERYTHING. THIS IS NOT US BEING ABSORBED INTO THE UMP CAMP BY ANY MEASURE. THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP. THIS IS A MEETING OF THE MINDS WITH STRONG BOUNDARIES AND EXPECTATIONS. WHAT ARE BOUNDARIES? WELL, I THINK THE THING IS IS WE DON'T OVERLAP PERFECTLY, BUT WE DO OVERLAP ON 5 KEY THINGS. AND WE GOTTA STICK TO THOSE 5 KEY THINGS THAT IS FREE SPEECH. VERY IMPORTANT ANTI WAR. AND THESE ENDLESS ENDLESS WARS WHERE AN OVERSEAS PUTTING THAT MONEY BACK INTO AMERICA, PUTTING AMERICANS FIRST REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CREATE STABILITY IN OUR FOREIGN POLICY, CHRONIC HEALTH. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE WE WANT FAMILIES TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE MET WITH CREDIBLE HEALTH CARE ON U.S.. HEALTH CARE AND NO MORE CENSORSHIP. THAT'S A REALLY, REALLY BIG ONE. SO AS LONG AS WE STAY WITHIN THESE CORE PRINCIPLES OF THIS COALITION, WE'RE GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS. AND I HAVE GREAT OPTIMISM. >> 2 CONCERNS. ONE IS JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING TO NOTE. THE OTHER ONE IS SOMETHING TO CHEW ON FOR THE REST OF OUR TIME. THERE'S SOMETHING TO NOTE YOU KNOW, THE REPUBLICANS ARE TALKING ABOUT IT NOW, BUT THEY ALWAYS HAD IS A SIGNATURE MOVE WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTH CARE, REMOVING THE ACA IN FAVOR OF BASICALLY NOTHING RIGHT NOW THEY'VE GOTTEN QUIET ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S BECOME SO UNPOPULAR AS PEOPLE GOT MORE AND MORE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT TRUMP IS ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT BOBBY AND I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND STUFF. THEY WANT A PRIVATIZED IN A WAY THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE GOOD FOR REGULAR FAMILIES. GIVE ME QUICK TAKE ON THAT. >> WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO AGREE ON LEAGUE. AGREE ON FARMING. WE AGREE ON FRESH FOOD. WE AGREE ON CLEAN WATER. WE AGREE ON THE SCHOOL CHOICE. WE AGREE ON THE POWER OF SUNSHINE AND GETTING KIDS OUTSIDE BEING KIDS. AND, YOU KNOW, I GUARANTEE YOU, CHRIS, THAT IF WE FOCUS JUST CLEANING UP OUR FOOD SUPPLY, WE'RE GOING TO NEED A LOT LESS DOLLARS, E
