The press is giving Kamala Harris a free ride, Trump campaign official warns

Gameplan to beat Kamala Harris but with us right now to talk about what this means to the average everyday person and how it can figure into a campaign and a winning one for Donald Trump is Donald Trump's co-manager uh campaign manager Chris Lev and GOP political strategist Chris welcome back Brian thanks for having me good to be back all right so Chris tell me the game plan to beat kamla Harris this is not totally a surprise to you even though at the RNC it looked like it looked like since the assassination attempt that maybe Joe Biden was going to weather the storm he didn't so Harris has been in for a few weeks now what's the game plan for victory you know it's pretty simple uh but you're right um you know post uh you know they they after the the the attempted assassination of the president um and then the RNC convention which was fantastic highlighting all of the issues and the differences between essentially Republicans and Democrats when you talk about inflation and the border and Etc um the Democrats you know essentially from our perspective you know instituted a coup um and and be that as it may uh they substituted they gave you obviously Camala Harris is now the nominee she's picked uh uh you know a governor from Minnesota Waltz who's who's just I mean I I couldn't even begin to figure out where he is on the Spectrum as it relates to his how liberal he is um but the Press has given her a free ride I I mean and and everybody knows that it's it's been it's been you know a few weeks without her answering questions she went weeks without even having to answer questions so they gave her a bit of a honeymoon uh they're now going into the Democrat convention where you know they're going to try and put on the show but look it's really it's pretty simple um uh this morning you know the CPI came out and and the the question that you have to ask yourself really is is are you paying more or less for things now than you did four years ago um and and that's that's perhaps the singular biggest contrast that exists between Donald Trump and and Camala Harris which is the state of the economy um and despite covid and everything else that that was thrown in president Trump's way uh you know he built the world's greatest economy then Co wrecked it then he did it again um and so you know that the single biggest issue contast when you think about it Brian um since Harris has been vice president gas is up 51% electricity 32% fuel oil 50% airfare 23% hotels 51% food uh groceries over 21% baby food 30% I I mean you rent 22% so you know things have exploded in costs and you know while you have the Harris campaign and while you have the Main Street Media uh gaslighting the American people saying oh it's fine everything's fine um Americans are hurting and they know that uh and and Americans are smarter than than you know the Democrats give them credit for they're not going to be played we've laid out I think a pretty comprehensive uh uh you know economic plan and when you think about it that was reinforced by the fact that you know the first policy proposal that M Harris came out with was to basically steal Donald Trump's plan of no taxing on tips how do you feel about that uh because now there now Joe Biden's for it too and they might even offer his legislation Chris well I I mean look here's the thing uh good politics makes good policy um and the Democrats are so desperate to avoid any responsibility for what they've created that they're really they're they're literally willing to recap themselves in a very cynical attempt to fool voters and and it's you know it's just up to us to make sure that those they're just not bought I mean you have to remember when President Trump announced this issue in June in Vegas it was 109 degrees that day I remember like it was yesterday and he was roundly criticized by the Press you know CBS News ran this headline which was it will cost you know when Republicans want to cut taxes that's the only time the Democrats and the Press talk about uh how much it'll cost something costs uh you know never mind the fact that that's a cost to the a refund to the American people but um so roundly criticized the proposal and you know it's too expensive it's it's it's it's a joke it doesn't make a difference you know now all of a sudden it's the greatest thing since SL spread that's a very cynical attempt to reshape and reformat things again it's up to us make sure that people don't buy it gotcha so Chris Lita Our Guest Chris here's where Nikki heli was on she doesn't do much these days but she was on with special report last night advice to you guys cut two I want this campaign Campaign needs to focus to win but the campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes it's not going to win talking about what race KLA Harris is it's not going to win talking about whether she's dumb it's not you can't win on those things the American people are smart treat them like they're smart do you think the campaign is missing the mark on those things I think the campaign needs to focus that's the main thing look this is a winnable election but you need to focus your your thought about that is she right well look here's the thing if you look at what the national media decides it's going to talk about right and decide what they want to emphasize that's you know they'll pull that stuff out from 5 years ago four years ago 3 years ago two I mean it it's it's a it's a losing battle um you know when the president did his press conference at Margo uh a little over a week ago and literally stood in front of the press the entire press for an hour and took every conceivable question um none of those answers on the vast majority of those questions have have ever been talked about I mean he talked about inflation he talked about where we are in the world stage you so I I mean look the focus of the campaign has always been about putting Americans in a better position to be successful and it's going to continue to be that way and and again we're focusing on these key issues of of you know illegal immigration you know I mean Camala Harris comes out yesterday last night by some Aid some campaign person and says she's no longer for uh uh Medicare for all yes but it's just that's just a joke because there's a ton of film with her talking about that's her number one policy proposal so again but she's going to say she evolved Chris Chris you know she's going to say she evolved on that she evolved on fracking she's about to do that Friday uh give her first economic speech so if she says she evolved on that what is you what's your counter punch well the counter punch is can you believe anything she says because for years up to now she's espoused these positions I mean she believes in giving Social Security benefits to illegal aliens now if you're a recipient of Social Security and you know how dire the trust fund is are you willing and are you going to trust that Camala Harris isn't going to bankrupt Social Security and Medicare by giving it away to illegals that's an awful big leap for a lot of people so you got to JD Vance walk away from biomics you can't have you can't stand behind biomics at the same time walk away from it while you're still in the administration it seems bizarre I want you hear ionomics is working according to uh Camala Harris The Daily Mail says this uh it says Insider tells say that Trump behind the scenes at Mara Lago is upset about picking JD Vance that he has regrets about it would you say is there any accuracy to that no zero none uh I generally don't refer to British newspapers as my first place of uh information I'll say that uh number one the number two no it's it's 100% not true they talk two three times a day at least JD's been fantastic in terms of laying the wood to Walts and to Camala Harris he's been out campaigning he's been a great partner and and no there's it's just it's fake news I think he was brilliant over the Peter Navaro weekend on three network shows uh here's pet here's Peter Navaro fresh out of prison cut 15 Trump doesn't need Feast now he needs votes in the current rally formula is simply not sufficiently focused on the very Stark policy differences policy differences between him and KLA Harris that will swing voters in key Battleground States so he says your rally formula isn't working right well I mean look it again it's about what we talk about and what the focus is on the issues I mean a lot of people can say a lot of different things but we're about pushing very specific specific messages those messages Peter's right about uh about pushing policy differences that's that's the number one goal of of the president's the number one goal of the campaign um and we'll take every opportunity we can to to actually do that plus you know we also can't forget that that you know this is also a game of turnout and you know we have to make sure that our people are motivated we've been engaged in efforts across the country with t47 and our Grassroots operations to do that um and you know look it's August it's the middle of August and the Democrats swapped out their nominee and they put in somebody else who's never received a vote for president who's never really been tested um and you know we have plenty of time and we're in a very good position so it's interesting because now DNC strategy you have the DNC coming up and traditionally and you you've been doing this for a long time um traditionally the other party goes kind of dark but you only have 80 days and you just mentioned all the unique challenges what is the strategy during the DNC where they're just going to bash Trump all day he didn't love it in 2016 I knew that uh and now he's not going to love it now what's your thought are you going to keep him from watching it and what is your thought from uh how do you get some press during that time would you even try well first of all you know you don't you don't go to Donald Trump and say don't watch the I mean the news I mean don't watch the Democrat convention that's just that would never enter into the conversation um and and besides uh you know people forget this is a guy who has built a very big a very successful worldwide brand so um you know we value all of those things but but this much I will tell you we will not give the left one inch we're not going to give them one minute we're not going to give them one inch we're not going to give them one second a free time we're going to take advantage of every opportunity that we can create to ensure the American people know the differences and the vital differences between you know Donald Trump's campaign and and president Trump and Camala Harris and the leftist Democrats because the fate of the country we truly believe hangs in the balance so what will you do Chris what you do you have R the election's over oh we've got a battle plan and I'm I'm I'm not going to sit and communicate it to the world today but uh uh but but it's a very aggressive plan that puts us in a position to drive what we need to I mean look if we spend the next week spend the next two weeks talking about you know the differences in the price of gasoline bread food you know these types of things and people have a clear and and and distinct understanding that if they vote for Camala Harris open borders becomes basic standard policy the rise in crime continues to stay the same uh you know people are going to start worrying about personal security National Security and their Economic Security and that's what this is about Amy Walter of the cook Harris leads report says Harris is now leading or tied with Trump in six of the seven swing states does do your polling say the same thing no and as a matter of fact um you know the the the the swing State polling we still have an advantage uh in the electorial college the map still does not favor we still have over 20 different paths to get to 270 she's got two or three and so um and and and understand that that in large part they're trying to redefine Camala Harris as as this new person who just showed up on the scene um and we have 12 years of information 12 years of footage of her talking about eliminating uh uh Medicaid uh in Medicare essentially giving illegals free benefits taxpayer funded benefits from Health Care to uh to schooling um and and and then of course her record on crime which is abysmal uh so you know we we're very confident in a plan that we have laid out so um I'll I Trump and Kemp think it was about a week ago it looks like President Trump was really ticked off at Brian Kemp again I guess he was upset at Mrs Kemp to uh since that time I saw that lindsy Graham talked to him and he came out and he said I'm going to help how I can but the two aren't talking uh and Donald Trump says I don't know if it's salvageable you need Georgia Kemp's successful Governor what can you do to bring them together or do you not think the relationship is salvageable well I mean I I don't get into those level of specifics I just know this that uh you know the camp the campaign uh the president very much focused on winning Georgia Kemp very much won the to win Georgia um and so I think having the common Bond of wanting to win in November is stronger than anything um we have a great organization down there uh and we have some great Grassroots leaders I mean hell we've got tens of thousands of dieh hard Trump supporters that are knocking on doors and doing those key things so um I'm you know and and and actually Brian they actually do a lot of work with uh certain elements of the Brian Kemp you know Governor Kemp's team so I I I mean our Focus has been um really the nuts and bolts aspect of campaigning we have a very different operation down there fueled by uh a magga nation in the state of Georgia and um and so and we accept we accept help and assistance from anybody got so you know we'll be going back down there we've been on TV down there for a while um you know I'm I'm very very bullish in Georgia I'll tell you what uh Donald Trump's got a marine who's got his back and I know you guys are going to fight through the Finish it's a new challenge but you guys you've been training your whole life for new challenges got it's great seeing you Chris thanks for the time I know our audience really appreciates it I know you don't do much so we enjoy it thank you thanks take care talk to you soon Chris lovita uh Donald Trump's co--
