I want to play a little bit

of Donald trump's interview with Elon Musk an ex last night we've already played a

lot of it

in the show but one part we have not played is when he was talking about the vice

president being

on the cover of time magazine I want you to listen to this.

A picture of.

On time magazine today.

She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live I

it was the drawing.

And action or she look very much like.

A great first lady Melania.

Is.

She.

Didn't look.

Didn't look like Camilla that's right but of course she's a beautiful woman so we'll

leave it at that right.

You're shaking your head what's your reaction to hearing that.

Well first of all John this is not the kind of rhetoric

or a language or town.

That is going to turn on voters especially those key undecided voters in swing states

who want a president he's looking out for that who wanted

a president and he was putting their interests first.

You know you mentioned there's a lot of other and discussions that I guess you call

it that.

I that trump and Elon Musk had during this I very choppy very technically challenged

interview by the way I can't understand for the life of me

why Elon Musk everytime he has one of these big axe conversations

the technology never seems to work it didn't

work for to sanitize it didn't work for trump

he's got a lot of challenges their on that platform

but I think look you gotta

look at the big picture here which is the fact that vice president Harris

is taking her message to everyday Americans.

Whereas Donald trump is sitting down for a what

what do they call it like an interview of the century

a to our I technically challenged discussion

with a billionaire.

That contrasts could not be more clear on this campaign.

I also wanted to say say I worked for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in two

thousand and sixteen

and the sexist rhetoric is still very much alive and well it's certainly comes from

Donald trump

but that is not something that is going to deter

vice president hairs from taking her message to the voters

to pudding American family front and center in this campaign and that is something

she thinks about every single day

when she wakes up in this country how am I going to improve the lives of voters

what agenda can I put forward to make their lives better

that is where were her focus is

more from.

Donald trump's conversation with Elon Musk

one point

trump decided to weigh in on this.

Time magazine's recent feature and specifically the cover art work.

That pictured his opponent

kamala Harris.

She is terrible.

Terrible

but she's getting a free ride into a picture of.

On time magazine today.

He looked like the most beautiful actress ever to live I

it was the drawing.

And

actually or she looked very much like.

A great first lady Melania.

Look.

Didn't look.

Look like Camilla that's right but of course she's a beautiful woman so we'll leave

it at that right.

Okay that's another pronunciation of her name

Camilla

I.

Cause.

Like.

What.

Bear it is this is kamala Harris

beautifully drawn

on the cover of time magazine.

It looks like her.

It looks like couple of years.

Does it look like one of your trump.

Think he was trying to say they were both beautiful.

And is wasting time though.

But.

Does have a fair point that

that vice president Harris is getting the greatest

media honeymoon ever known the presidential politics and I think that was his core

complaint there

that cover.

I

start I didn't look I'm not like i'm.

Afraid to try to psychoanalyze with Donald trump is doing here at who knows I don't

know I mean I think he

it does kind of seemed like he was trying to say it was like an overly flattering

drawing of her I I don't know but.

One thing it is not going to do is help him win.

a

suburban voters swing voters I mean he's to breads point here

there are only so many days left in this election and his spending them

you know serve rambling nonsense rather than making a case so.

Time magazine as well from.

Earlier

c like

why they weren't prepared I think one thing was that they

Republicans that I talked to expected

democrats to fight

to have a big fight about who the

then person to replace biden would be and

they did not think that people would coalesce

around Harris as much as they did

and so you're seeing that he's just struggling with trying to find

his footing against her be because they didn't expect to be facing someone who had

all of the support of the party behind her.

Again with what the trump campaign is calling the interview of the century last night

the for presidents sat down for a rambling

to our conversation with the world's richest man Elon Musk has got off to a rocky

start for getting more than forty minutes late

due in part to what much described as and

alleged cyberattack all the others dispute that.

This riveting elevator music

listeners on

the edge of their seats though and trump spent

much of the conversation once it got going fixating

on him and he has no longer running your

before finally shifting to his

heart.

Attack and como heresies intelligence and gushing over her physical appearance.

Kamala wouldn't have this conversation you can cause he's not.

He's not as smart person by the way but she's getting a free ride or

a picture of.

On time magazine today.

He looked like the most

beautiful actress ever to live I

it was drawing.

And.

Yeah

he look very much like.

A great first lady Melania.

Is a.

It'll look.

Didn't look like Camilla that's right but of course she's a beautiful woman so we'll

leave it at that.

Fact check that the moment but trump mainly focused

not on his Democratic rival but the.

Familiar go to grievances and lies often heard in his stump speeches.

Well the court do is

try and focused on trump

okay they live focused on trump.

Who did nothing wrong I complain about are rigged election

the only one.

Is Donald trump they don't care.

They prosecute trump I have to run.

I have to go through fake trials with.

In some cases corrupt

judges totally corrupt judges.

I didn't need it I had a nice life.

They called it an interview but much did not push back on those lies about the twenty

twenty election or the justice system in fact he didn't push back

on any of trump's

estimated twenty false claims he did however

keep praise on the former president that

infatuation was clearly visual.

Are you you're the greatest cutter.

I mean I look at what you do you walk if.

You want.

I won't mention the name of the company but they go on strike and usually that's okay

your gun.

You are all gone to every one of your gun and

you are the greatest you would be very good

oh you would love it.

Jeremy now to break it all down soon as Christian homes

Christian you have some new reporting on how the campaign is feeling this morning.

How do they think

it went I mean obviously there were moments like that one

that we just played there where he's talking about Elon Musk

faring people.

I can't imagine that's gonna work out too well in those blue wall states I have to

think some of the advisors are tearing their hero right now

well like you have different groups of people right you have the campaign and his

advisers the people who are hyping him up saying things like this was the greatest

interview of all time or think you've said one of the quotes was the best interview

of the century.

You have Elon Musk out there saying one billion people engaged with this interview in

some way I mean I believe

talking to Steve contort are one of our colleagues earlier and is that

does that mean even babies were involved and checking into what was happening on

Twitter last night that they are touting those viewership numbers they are saying

that this is all part of a larger strategy.

That essentially

they are trying to reach people who don't normally engage in politics

and doing that through interviews with elon musk they're not necessarily looking for

the Twitter crowd

they're looking for the Elon Musk crowd it's the same idea of when he sat down with

streamer eight and Ross

they're not necessarily looking for just streamers are particularly looking for

followers of eight and Ross who watch his show who they believe are people who would

lean right

not traditional voters

that they want to bring out to the polls now

he talked to any of trump's allies will not any of them but some of them

they are very concerned they do not want trump out there doing these kind of long

unscripted interviews

they believe that he can still win this race against kamala Harris

despite what you're seeing in the polls they don't think this is one over

they believe he's still has a shot at the white house but to do that

but they say over and over again it's Donald trump has to stay on message

he has to focus on the economy

he has to focus on immigration

he has to focus on crime those are the things that he pulled above Joe biden on

and those are the policies they want to link kamala Harris do and the current

administration to

however

Donald trump seems to have do current ideas of what works and what doesn't work and

obviously as we're seeing

part of what he thinks works is doing these long conversational.

Off script and off topic

interviews

they're kind of a bathrobe campaign he has been.

Utilizing lately not so many rallies more unscripted things where you can.

Sort of roll out of moral ago and do whatever he wants are a Christian homes thanks a

lot appreciate it.
