Right now. Of all the crazy weeks in this campaign and there have been many, this one has to be right up near the top. I mean, Donald Trump was at a Rally Yesterday in North Carolina without the republican nominee for governor who he once called Mlk On Steroids . Why . Because the world learned this week that he called Himself A Black Nazi on a porn site. Cant make this up sometimes. The real Martin Luther King jr. Preached and hes Coming Up first. Also today . Mary trump joins me to talk about all the ways in which Kamala Harris is completely rattling her uncle. And on that point, the vp accepts an invitation for another debate. But trump says its too late. The Harris Walz campaigns deputy Cam Pin ManagerQuentin Februaries joins me with his response to that very chicken response. Okay. I think its safe to say that Donald Trump would desperately like us and all of you sitting at home to be thinking about certain things and im talking about certain things like say, the crazy conspiracies about the haitian community in springfield, ohio or his blatantly antisemitic remarks about jewish voters and saying it will be their fault if he loses and he wants us all to Foe Course on the circus and both the ringmaster and his Running Mate brought that very circus to their rallies just yet. Yesterday. You see how bad its getting when you look at whats going on with the migrants attacking villages and cities all throughout the midwest in particular right now. But its all over. Springfield, ohio which has been overwhelmed by 20,000 haitian immigrants and any community thats been overwhelmed by Kamala Harris illegal Alien Policies and tell me that these are stories made up by politicians. Okay, lets just establish no villages are being attacked by migrants and yes, politicians like them are making things up about springfield, ohio. But trump wants things like that to be the focus right now. Thats what he wants everyone talking about and i know that they completely bend your mind and it does mine. Why would a president ial candidate want to draw attention to his Racism And Misogyny . Of course, trump is not a normal candidate. Weve known that for a while. To him, all press is good press. All attention is good attention. The only way to win is to own the spotlight no matter how harsh it may be. Story goes a little like this. If we are all talking about his crazy and offensive comments if we were talking about the circus, then were not talking about everything else. Because theres a whole lot that he doesnt want us and doesnt want you to be talking about right now. I mean he doesnt want us to talk about Kamala Harris beating him in the polls. The new poll out this morning from Nbc News showing harris leading trump 4944 or the number in that same poll that shows her favorability rising more quickly than any politician since george w. Bush after 9 11. Or the one in that same poll that shows voters increasingly see her as the candidate of change. And he doesnt want you to talk about how hes too chicken to debate harris again after she accepted an invitation from cnn just yesterday. He certainly doesnt want us to talk about his dangerous and unpopular opposition to Abortion Rights and the preventable deaths we are all learning about in georgia. He posted this weekend in all caps telling women you will no longer be thinking about abortion. He was apparently so mazed with that statement that there peteed it verbatim yesterday in North Carolina. Women will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. I mean, of course he doesnt want women thinking about the rights they have lost. And he doesnt want Women Hearing things like this from Kamala Harris. These hypocrites. Want to start talking about this is in the best interest of women and children. Where are you been . Where you been . When it comes to taking care of the women and children of america . Where you been . [ Cheering And Applause ] how dare they. How dare they. To state perhaps the obviously thats not a fight that Donald Trump can win. He also doesnt want us to talk about the overt effort from his supporters in key states to tamper with the election if they dont like the outcome. Thats exactly what the trump friendly Election Board in georgia did on friday. When they ordered the Hand Counting of ballots. A move that is likely to cause complete chaos and potentially delay the reporting of results in a very critical state. And guys, trump definitely, definitely, definitely, does not want you to talk about his hand picked Guy Running for governor in North Carolina. Mark robinson. You know, the guy who according to cnn called Himself A Black Nazi on a porn site. And who according to the Washington Post praised Mine Camp on that same site. Trust me the comments are just the tip of the iceberg. So yeah. Trump wants attention. But he wants it on his words but not their consequences because the consequences are a town like springfield, ohio getting torn apart. A Republican Party represented by guys like Mark Robinson and a country where women die waiting for medical care. That is what Donald Trump doesnt want us talking about but as voters begin voting and they are and Election Day gets closer and closer and it is thats where the focus should be. Exactly what we are going to be talking about here on this show. Joining me now is democratic Senator Raphael Warnock of georgia. Senator, so thrilled to be talking with you. Theres so much i want to ask you about. But the eyes of the nation really are on georgia right now. As you know. And i just gave a Brief Overview of what the state Election Board just did last week. Therell be more next week. You have said they are trying to set up a scenario in which they could refuse to certify an election whose results they dont like. Trump and his team to try to overturn the will of the voters in georgia again if he loses like they did last time. Is that right . Is that what we should expect . Im very concerned, jen, All Of Us should remember that famous Phone Call A man from florida. Calling in the georgia saying he needed 11,780 votes. He didnt get it. And apparently, these members of the State Board of elections whom he called Pit Bulls were out there doing his bidding and trying to create a scenario in which they can declare by fiat who the winner of georgia is. Listen, i have seen this up close. You know, i have won in georgia. Two elections and my name has been on the ballot five times in less than three years. They saw the anatomy of my win during the first election how we won in a runoff. Going into the runoff the last time i had to sue the state officials of georgia so that voters could vote the first weekend of the runoff. This is how Voter Suppression happens. Understood mine votes a little bit here and there. The news that georgia voters ought to be paying attention to is this. The fact they are doing this, means that they know were winning. They know that the momentum is with Kamala Harris. And this effort to turn the democracy on its head so that rather than the voters picking their representatives, the folks who are running get to pick their voters. It wont stand. Were going to be vigilant in court and turn our people out. It is and i know you have won and you have dealt with the tactics before. You are the perfect person to talk to about this. Theres a republican O Couple of republicans in the state of georgia who have expressed concern. A lawyer for the State Attorney General in georgia. Now you know best if those are just words or if theyd actually take actions. If they wanted to prevent this from happening, what could they do . Well, i think we need to see more action from the state officials here. And yes, im paying attention because again, i have been through this history. But the fact that you have county officials, both democrats and republicans, saying that this is a mess. Saying that we cant do what you are asking us to do. Saying that this insisting on counting votes by hand is not only going to delay our ability to certify, but it certainly the data shows it doesnt increase accuracy. It decreases accuracy. Look im old enough to remember florida in 2000 and we all saw the mess that was and we dont need that here again in georgia. We will continue to press the issue. But i want to be clear for the folks who are watching me this morning. The whole purpose of Voter Suppression really is to so demoralize the parts of the electorate you dont even bother and for those who are watching and wondering, what can i do about this . Ill tell you what you can do. You can show up. You can show up and say you are not going to squeeze my voice out of the democracy. That i have a right to cast my vote and for my vote to be counted and showing up, showing up in massive numbers, thats the way you respond. Im im so happy to hear you say that to people because i think people hear this and yes, it is a form of Voter Suppression which is important to state. Again and again. I want to ask you about something else that may sound familiar to you which is trump aligning himself with a person who should have been disqualified from running for office. And that is you know who im going to ask you about. Mark robinson the republican nominee for governor in North Carolina especially the ways given your background and your history and your current role as a religious leader, and in which dr. Martin Luther King Jr. s name has come up in this whole scandal. In addition to everything else, cnn found that robinson made a series of posts denigrating dr. King calling him a commi oh and an offensive slur. You will actually stand today at the same pulpit that dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Preached. You have a long history in the state of georgia. I want to know what you make of all of this and how theyre talking about his legacy. I can tell you as the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church where Martin Luther King jr. Served and Mark Robinson is no dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is the antithesis of everything that dr. King represented. He he is white supremacy in black face. As he talks about his desire to bring slavery back and i mean this talk is way beyond the pale. Calling Himself A Black Nazi. These are his words. And i think that the people of North Carolina need to take note of the fact that this is Donald Trumps candidate. This is who he keeps pushing and encouraging. This is who he thinks should represent them. But Donald Trump has a long history of this. He tried to in this in my race. This is not the first time he has put forward a black candidate who is unfit and unqualified to serve with the cynical notion that somehow the electorate will be confused about who this person represents. The people of North Carolina deserve better. Theyve got real issues that theyre trying to address. And theyre going to see through Mark Robinson in the same way that the people of georgia saw through my opponent. The last time i spent some time with you, down in georgia, last october, and we talked a lot about the work you have done having interfaith conversations. Even as a pastor yourself, in the Ebenezer Baptist Church and i wanted to ask you. I mean this week Donald Trump said if he loses in november, the jewish people these are his words to your point, the jewish people would have a lot to do with the loss. To me, it sounds like he is setting up jewish americans to be scapegoats and its incredibly divisive and you are a religious leader. What was your reaction to that and what do you want people out there to know when they hear divisive comments like that . Well, its an old Anti Semitic taupe that he was using ironically at an event supposedly to address the problem of antisemitism. It just shows you the ways in which Donald Trump is out of touch. And i met with jewish leaders a group of jewish leaders, this past friday, and they were just shaking their heads. Because this is an old, old ploy and an old trope of accusing jewish folk that somehow theyre behind the scenes pulling strings and doing things that this is who Donald Trump is. Hes got so much bigotry and so much antisemitism, so much racism, so much misogyny, in his heart, that it comes out. You know . Forgive me im on my way to church. Jesus said that you know, whats in you will come out. And here we are watching his words demonstrated time and time again who he is. We know who Donald Trump is. This election is about who we are as an american people. And i still believe in the american promise. E pluribus unum. Out of many one. I still believe that god is known by many names and worshiped in many houses and i believe in this democracy, this experiment. Where people of various faith traditions and people who claim no faith at all, but operate from a place of moral courage and basic dignity and decency, can build a greater country. A beloved community as dr. King called it. And push us closer wads our ideals and were not going back. And were going to send this 78 yearold retired president quietly into the night. And move forward into the future. Senator, before i let you go, Kamala Harris says she has accepted an invitation to debate in october and Donald Trump says its too late and that voters are already voting. Which theyre already voting now by the way. But what do you make of his refusal to accept that Debate Opportunity . He lost. He lost and he knows it. And hes afraid of being humiliated again. Because We Saw what Donald Trump represents. I mean, you watch that debate and all of the bigotry that he engaged in. This awful assault on the haitian community and the small town in ohio. The people of america, the people of georgia, want somebody whos focused on them. Donald trump is for himself and we ought to leave himself to himself while we focus on the american people. Senator raphael warnock, thank you for your incredibly thoughtful take on so many of the issues impactings the people of georgia and of course many, many people across the country. Really appreciate you joining me. Happy sunday morning. Coming up, Donald Trumps inability to answer even these simplest questions is getting more and more noticeable and yes, that should be a part of this campaign. We should be talking about it.

Its become pretty clear that Donald Trumps Memory Lapses mix ups and all the incoherent Ram Blings are becoming more and more frequent on the campaign trail. I mean just this week he mixed up the arctic national Wildlife Refuge in alaska with a Military Base in the middle east. We would have been now having so much money coming out of the energy we just have the best. We have Bag Ram in alaska. To be clear, bagram is an airfield in afghanistan and its thousands of miles from alaska and completely unrelated to what trump was just talking about but moments like that make it hard to tell whether trump can separate fact from fantasy. For instance, he bragged this week about the audience at the debate. When as we all know, there was no audience at that debate. But more concerning perhaps is that trump often thinks hes making sense when he is clearly not. Remember a few weeks ago when he was asked about the cost of Child Care . Pretty simple question. His response though was a rambling Word Salad about tariffs which literally had nothing to do with the topic at hand and all this happens a lot and he was asked on tuesday how to bring down the cost of groceries. Again a simple question. Trump wanted an eight Minute Swerving in Energy Prices to Interest Rates to farm subsidies to windmills to a Border Wall with mexico. And even the excuses he makes about his Rammening And Incoherence are themselves rambling and incoherent. I have to say so i give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs. But they all come together. I do it a lot. They say, its terrible. So they say so ill give this long Complex Area for instance, that i talked about a lot of different territory. Yeah. I have no idea what he was saying there either. I mean the thing is, trump is completely lacking in Self Awareness because his enablers have always turned a blind eye to his failings. And thats been true ever since he was a kid. Mary trump points out in the new book quote, donald had none would have the skills to succeed on his end but his willingness to do anything to fit within his Fathers Mold made him the recipient of tens of millions of dollars to maintain the illusion of brilliance that never existed. Joining me now for the first time on this show is Mary Trump. Whose new book is titled who could ever love you . A family memoir. Mary, great to see you and thank you for joining us. And this is such a its a more personal book. Thats how i read it. Than the first one you wrote in 2020. But you still share some disturbing insight into your uncle and i mean one of the things that stuck out to me was how you talk about Donald Trumps father, your grandfather, indulged his delusions and essentially glossed over his very apparentfailings. That sounds to me like what the Republican Party has been doing for the last eight years now. The great phrase and what you mean by that the illusion of brilliance . First of all, jen, so great to be with you. I really appreciate your having me on. And yeah, this book is different from the first one. Which i considerrization logical history of a family. This one is very much a memoir. And theres some focus on deformed because he and i grew up although in different generations in the same family and i had the great misfortune of sort of watching how all of that unfolded. And how it affected my dad and therefore me. I think the fundamental problem was that my father, fred jr. Was the oldest Son And Namesake who was expected to take over the family business. My grandfather and im saying this term diagnoseically was as so owe path. He turned to his next oldest Son Donald who had no skills. No requisite skills to be an entrepreneur. Or to expand the business the way my grandfather intended. However, he did have a bunch of Defense Mechanisms that he had used to protect himself from his quite frankly, bleak early years on the planet. And that my grandfather found very useful. Donalds bullying, his grandiose sense of himself and as weve seen, donald and my grandfather with the help of new York Media and the banks that eventually the Republican Party, really did leverage those things to donalds benefit and i should say to the disadvantage of the rest of us. So interesting how you describe it. And i mean this is what were seeing today. As i mentioned or that is how i see it. I mean, you have observed your uncle, for more than 50 years, for better or worse, and i know its been worse at many times. I was just talking about and im not the only one whos observed this i mean he seems to be really struggling lately to answer straightforward questionsnt the cost of Child Care, housing, groceries. His answers dont really make sense. I mean, is that just par for the course for decades or have you noticed a change in his ability to articulate . Well, first of all, as a human being, donald is as bad as hes always been. This is somebody whos never evolved and this is somebody who seems worse behaviorally simply because hes been given more opportunities to be worse. In terms of his functioning on a cognitive level absolutely theres been deterioration. I mean, donald is somebody with see severe disorders for decades that have remained untreated and any illness you have that you dont treat will worsen and i think hes being pushed further and further because of Vice President harris success, because of his own failures. Into a world that is more delusional when he talks about how enthusiastic the crowd at the debate was. Probably talking about himself. He was his audience for that debate in many, many ways. So i hope that more Media Outlets allow us to hear what donalds actually saying instead of taking it upon themselves to quote unquote translate him. His nonsense is untranslatable. So what ends up happening because Human Beings need to make meaning of things, is that certain reporters and journalists end up imbuing donalds meaningless statements with meaning. So they dont seem as dangerous and quite frankly inhinged as they really are. The sane washing of all of it. So interesting. The audience of him is a very i didnt think of it that way but it makes a lot of sense. I wanted to play for you to this point. I mean he seems surprised you know, this week, trump that a woman could be doing better than him on the stage and better than a man. So i want to play something he had to say and get your thoughts on it. There are a few people who know what hes thinking than you and lets play that. They put her in. And she somehow a woman somehow shes doing better than he did. But i cant imagine it can last. Somehow a woman i mean. This is kind of one of those things where hes refusing to do this debate so far. The next one. He seems surprised she wiped the floor with him at the debate. Is it a Gender Thing . What is that about . Well, we are a family of misogynists even many of the women in my family were misogynies. Not al all surprising how clearly his contempt for women comes through specifically when hes speaking about Vice President harris. Weve also seen how he speaking about women in general. Overturning of roe v. Wade. But part of this too is just donald once again failing the cognitive test. You know . He just cannot exist in a world where he isnt always the winner. Recognizing himself as a loser is almost impossible. Being a loser was absolutely the worst thing you could be in my family. I mean, it was lethal to be a loser in my family. So hes still suffering from the Narcissistic InjuryVice President harris inflicted on him at the first debate which will be the only debate because donald will never ever allow himself to be in that kind of vulnerable position again. Mary trump, congratulations on the very personal candid memoir and book. Thank you for joining us. And Coming Up i have got a question for people shocked and appalled about Mark Robinsons post on a porn site. Should we really be surprised the party of trump elevated a guy like there . Theres plenty of . Theres plenty of past examples. I have got some thoughtsnt that when about that when i come right back. Tresemme, style your way. psst psst ahhhh.

Farxiga as we mentioned at the top of the show, and as im sure you have all been following. The situation for republicans in North Carolina got a whole lot worse this week. I mean cnn deleased a new story on the trump gubernatorial candidate in the state Mark Robinson and you may have seen that. I have already gone through thedetails of that report but its important to remember that for all of trumps weird hand picked candidates and cycle after cycle, robinson is uniquely terrible. I mean, even before this new reporting a number of robinsons blatantly Anti Semitic and bigoted statements have long been out there for all to see. Hes called Homosexuality And Transgenderrism filth and he has mocked the survivors of the Parkland School Shooting and has said that quote, abortion is not about protecting the lives of mothers, its about killing a child because you werent responsible enough to keep your skirt down. Yes. Someone running for public office said that out loud. And trump knew about all of that a lot of people knew all about it and he continued to stand firmly behind mark even saying this just a few months ago. This is Martin Luther King jr. On steroids. Okay . Now i told that i told that to mark and i said, i think you are better than Martin Luther King jr. I think you are Martin Luther King jr. Times two. Mlk on steroids. Now i talked with Senator Warnock about this a little earlier on the show but that guy, that guy that Donald Trump just talked ability, appears to have posted a lot on porn Sites Message Board about ten years ago. He said he was a Black Nazi and expressed support for Reinstating Slavery and used variable slurs against mlk and he posted he enjoyed watching transgender pornography despite demonizing the Trans Community in public and as uncovered by in Washington Post in a separate story, he also paid a compliment to adoll hitlers book. Mark robinson denied he posted the commentings despite a lot of evidence to the contrary and even suggested ai might have had something to do wit. In a new interview with cnn he said wet he is not going to getinto the minutia of How Manufacture Forever someone manufactured this. Before this new information came to light there were reports that members of Trumps Campaign were urging robinson to drop out of the race completely. And not only was robinson absent from trumps North Carolina rally this weekend, trump didnt mention him once in the state where hes running for governor. Now if republicans who are gob smacked they are stuck with a candidate like robinson, why are you surprised . Weve seen versions of this play out before. I mean maybe roy Moore Or Herschel walker . All just another example of how far too many members of the Republican Party are blindly following Trumps Hand picked nominees even when theyre losers. In a different time something like this all this happening with robinson, would be a Disqualifying Scandal but instead, the North CarolinaRepublican Party is defending robinson by saying this quote the left needs this election to be a personality contest. Not a policy contest. Because if voters focused on policy, republicans win on Election Day. The party of trump wants a policy contest. Okay. How about the economy . Should we talk about Donald Trumps Tariff Proposal that would raise the price of goods that you all are buying . Or how about immigration . Should we talk about trump and his Campaign Stoking racist lies about migrants or the bipartisan Policy Deal on immigration that trump swooped in to kill . So republicans can say that they want to focus on policy rather than personality. But the problem with that is the party of trump has become a place where the most bombastic over the top, Base Riling personalities are rewarded often with an endorsement from the leader of the party and Mark Robinson is just the latest example.

Donald trump escaped date for governor in North Carolina the selfproclaimed Black NaziMark Robinson was right by Hi Side when at a rally there just one month ago. But he was nowhere to be found at a rally there yesterday. I mean to be clear, trump j. D. Vance and the state Republican Party are standing by robinson at least for now. But vance didnt seem to have his heart in it when he was asked if he believes robinsons denials. Do you believe him that those were not his posts . I dont not believe him. I dont believe him. I think you have to let the things sometimes play out in the Court Of Public Opinion. I mean, i dont not believe him. Okay then. Joining me now is the chair of the North Carolina democratic party Anderson Clayton. Who is an absolute Rock Star and superstar. Leading the party in an important state. Anderson i mean, this is obviously a cluster. For the Republican Party in North Carolina. And certainly the gubernatorial race there. Where robinson was already behind and have you seen evidence that this is helping harris . And kind of impacting the top of the Ticket Race . Well, you know, we see that because of the fact you know, mark has been enabled by Donald Trump. This entire Republican Party that we see in North Carolina right now from Donald Trump at the top of the ticket to folks like Mark Robinson and Michelle Morrow and Dan Bishop and the republicans slate thats been nominated statewide by the Republican Party this year. Is something that would just take North Carolina backwards and were seeing it in terms of when voters right now are coming out and Van Casing with us you know, we have more people that are turning out to knock on doors with us. Than weve ever had before and we know its because theyre seeing this play out in the Court Of Public Opinion and folks are not liking it. Yeah. I mean, a little motivational. With North Carolina i mean, you have been you are a Rock Star as i said ten times but its a state that felt kind of a Little Out Of Reach a couple of months ago. Now trump is visiting and spending a ton of money there and you are on the ground. Are arsenalsing you sensing fear from republican organizers there about whats going on . And about momentum on the democratic side . Well, i appreciate the compliments but i also think it is definitely all of the organizers and the folks on the ground this year that have made this work possible. I could not be doing the work as a State Party Chair that i am right now without County And Precinct chairs and the candidates that signed up to run and contest 168 out of 170 state legislative sessions. So i give all the credit to the folks in North Carolina right now that are out knocking doors and helping us out. And if you want to get involved with that, you can go to ncdp. Org and make sure that we do. But yeah Donald Trump campaigning in the state means that he is nervous. It came within the one point in 2020. 74,000 votes kept us from winning the state and we know reaching out to places like northeastern North Carolina and our major metro areas in Charlotte And Wake counties like Raleigh And Durham county too where durham is right now. Making sure that were pulling votes from every single corner of the state. Is going to allow us to be successful here again in november. So last one quickly before i let you go, i mean, you currently have a supermajority in the State Legislature, do you think the republican the robinson scandals could also impact those Down Ballot races and allow democrats to take away republicans seats in the State House . It absolutely should you know. Were in a one Seat Minority right now and we have phenomenal democrats that are running everywhere to break the republican supermajority in the State Legislature. And give a democratic governor, Josh Stein next year, Veto Power back because we know that weve seen a republican State Legislature restrict Abortion Rights in North Carolina. Voting rights in North Carolina. And further disenfranchise public education in our state this year. There are only taking us further backwards as a party. State legislatures hugely matter Down Ballot and thank you to you for all your work. Thank you for joining us. Coming up the Harris Campaign is doing everything they can to taunt the Trump Campaign into another debate. Quentin fobes is standing by and he joins me next. Youll love this Centrum Silver is clinically proven to support memory in older adults. So you can keep saying. You mastered it you fixed it you nailed it you did it with Centrum Silver. Clinically proven to support memory in older adults. Growing old is part of the journey, even when you have heart failure. But when he had shortness of breath, carpal tunnel syndrome, and lower back pain, we wondered, could these be Warning Signs of something bigger . Thank goodness we called his cardiologist because these were signs of attrcm, a rare and serious disease. That gets worse over time. If you see any of the Warning Signs, dont wait, ask your cardiologist about attrcm today. Right now. Kamala harris has a lot of momentum this week was a particularly dumpstery fiery one for the party of trump but the Vice President and her campaign knows that in Politics Complacencesy can be your worst enemy. Thats a point theyre trying to make as loudly and frequently as they can. It is going to be a tight race until the very end so lets not pay too much attention to the polls. Because lets be clear. We are the underdog in this race. And we have some Hard Work ahead of us. But heres the thing. We like Hard Work. [ Cheering And Applause ] we like Hard Work. Hard work is good work. Hard work is joyful work. Now in keeping with that underdog mentality, Hard Work is good work, the Harris Campaign is basically trying to taunt Donald Trump into another debate. Lure him in. They said yesterday they have accepted an invitation from cnn for a debate but Donald Trump said October 23rd is simply too late even though he debated on October 22nd in 2020. What he really means is i would very much like not to get roundly embarrassed again just a few weeks before the election. Joining me now is quentin Fulks Deputy Campaign manager for the Harris Walz campaign. Donald trump says October 23rd is too late and i just noted how absurd that is. We know there have been debates that late before. So what do you say to his claim there . And do you think hes going to debate . Well, first of all, thank you for having me this afternoon. Look, what i will say is that nothing is too late while americans are casting their votes. Or before americans can cast their votes and that is the central press of this. The Vice President believes and our campaign believes that the people deserve to see the two candidates on the stage again before they cast their ballots. As the voters have not they still deserve to see and hear from the candidates who are running for the president of the united states. No reason why Donald Trump shouldnt accept this and in fact, he claims that he won the previous debate that we had earlier this month. He obviously did very well at the Cnn Debate over Th Summer is he has praised their ratings and their format he praised the moderators. And so again, i hope that Donald Trump finds whatever courage he left to accept this debate with the Vice President before the american people make the decision about who is going to represent this country and their future moving forward. Why do you think hes saying no . Look. I dont know why hes saying no. Because at the end of the day, he is constantly said hes won every debate hes been in and he should be willing to debate. He loves to entertain. He loves to speak directly to the american people. As he claims. And so he should do so and the Vice President will be waiting for him on October 23rd with the Cnn Debate. So lets talk about North Carolina for a second. Cause you oversee a lot of resources and you are a Campaign Field Expert guy, political expert. I was just talking to Anderson Clayton about this. Now, there has been kind of its a Dumpster Fire for the Republican Party in North Carolina with Mark Robinson at the top of the ticket there on the gubernatorial side. This has been a state thats a hard state. A bit of a reach. Do you think now its in a much better play . Are you going to be putting more resources in there and how do you see the State Of Play of North Carolina and how important is it to your road to 270 . Well, look, North Carolina is an extremely important state to us. And in multiple path ways that we have to get to 270 electoral votes. But it has been since the beginning. That is why our campaign has invested resources and built an infrastructure in that state since before the Mark Robinson debacle because the state for us has always been in play. Weve just had to put in as the Vice President says, the Hard Work to do it. Weve got offices all across the state and we are making Volunteer Shifts and making calls and knocking doors in that state. Look, Donald Trump and Mark Robinson are cut from the same cloth. They are both wrong for North Carolina and Donald Trump is wrong for this country. I think that we see Donald Trump praising Mark Robinson and somebody who says that they want to own slaves that they are Black Nazi. This is who Donald Trump is. Its a manifestation in the state and im very familiar with dynamics like this. The same one that i dealt with in georgia for herschel walker. Its the same type of stuff they spout the hatred and all the things. It is because this is who Donald Trump is. And while Donald Trump is uniquely wrong and unfit to serve as president for the country, Mark Robinson is equally unfit and dangerous to be the governor of North Carolina. But they are one and the same and its because of Donald Trumps rhetoric and his style of politics that we see him praising people like mark and calling him Martin Luther King jr. s second coming and calling him Martin Luther King jr. Times two. This is ridiculous. And so again, were going to continue to put in the Hard Work and the state of North Carolina and were going to win it. Its a georgia day. Because i was talking to Senator Warnock earlier in the show and i asked him about his concerns and how concerned he was about the new voting rules. What the trump friendly Election Board is doing there. How concerned is the campaign about the impact of the Hand Counting of ballots and do you think it could be stopped . Look, i think that our campaign is taking great measures to try to get ahead of these things. Weve known that maga extreme republicans like to play games when it comes to people casting their ballots. Using their voice to participate in a democratic process. And we know that they are going to constantly play games which is why weve invested in the largest Voter Protection Program ever in the history of campaigns. Because this is really important for us to monitor what is going on in the state. And try to stop it when needed. We dont try to politicize these things because at the end of the day, this is about republicans being able to safely cast their votes and independents and democrats. All people in this country deserve the right to have their voices heard and not have a party like the Republican Party trying to change the rules in the fourth quarter. Try to meddle with how long it takes someone to do it. And i have seen people in georgia stand in line for four to six hours to cast their vote to be denied food and water. This barbaric. So again, our campaign is focused on making sure we stay ahead of this and making sure this election in november goes off smoothly. Quentin fulks. Appreciate you joining us.
