Red Wave Imminent: Democrats Treatment Of Kavanaugh Is Backfiring
so we won and we have so many things happening that are so good so we should
do well in the midterms I can't imagine not but you have to get don't be
complacent this election is about security and it's about prosperity
president Trump hosting a rally in Wheeling West Virginia yesterday in the
hopes of keeping the GOP majority in Congress it was the first of several
stops on his make America great again rally scheduled as the midterm elections
are now just five weeks away a California Republican also swinging
through states across the country with the same mission joining me right now is
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy he joins us now from Roanoke Virginia with
an exclusive interview Majority Leader thanks very much for joining us this
morning great to see you congressman well thanks
for having me back Maria well we want it we want to kick it off we were going to
be talking with Lindsey Graham in just a moment about what took place last week
but I wonder if what took place around the Cavanaugh hearing impacted the
midterm elections you've been traveling the country a lot raising a lot of money
to keep the majority what are you seeing what's been the reception well the first
reception when you do have Lindsey Graham on thank him as I travel this
country so many people come up to me and say tell Lindsey Graham thank you
because what he said and that hearing was really what millions of Americans
were thanking and what I'm finding is prior to the Cavanaugh hearing the
intensity level was really on the Democratic side that more Democrats were
wanting to go vote than Republicans Republicans thought there was not a need
but in the last week there's been a fundamental shift that people are now
becoming upset not just how justice Kavanaugh was treated but dr. Ford that
the Democrats knowingly had this letter held it and then put her through this
you did not have to do this and so it's a big frustration and I was at a event
yesterday and one of the candidates said I was having a hard time having
volunteers come up now they're just coming to the headquarters and I think
the intensity level has now increased because of what transformed but for all
your viewers if they just close their eyes and thought about November 7 if on
November 7th we woke up and the Democrats took the majority what you
watched last week would be intensified for the next two years we wouldn't be
talking about how do we put infrastructure how do we save Social
Security how do we improve our Veterans Administration it would be hearing after
hearing after investigation after investigation America's economy would
somewhat come to a stop because that really was a view of what will happen if
they took the majority so so did things change materially post these last couple
of weeks where we saw the left really ramping up their attacks on the
Republicans I know that you've been traveling and you've been speaking with
with with voters and this weekend you were with President Trump the president
making an appearance at one of the fundraisers we have a picture what did
the president say about this and are you seeing that reaction and the numbers
actually move because over the preceding weeks a lot of people have been saying
oh it's in the bag the house is going to flip has that changed I think it's
changed drastically we look at just the absentee ballots those who are
requesting ballots prior that has increased over the last week we look at
volunteerism coming into the campaign we look at things that are happening online
and remember Republicans are at a disadvantage because Democrats have too
liberal billionaires that are trying to buy the house to flip it you got Mike
Bloomberg who first promised 80 million now he's talking about going to a
hundred million dollars just on Democrats in the house and then Tom
Stiers who has already spent a hundred and
twenty million dollars and he brags because he wants to impeach the
president he brags about his list being larger than the NRA just focusing on
impeaching the president they're giving you a window into what they would do if
they won the majority right and and and you've been raped but nonetheless you've
still been very successful in terms of money raising this these last several
months we were successful we raised fifteen million dollars that night for
people across the country but the difficulty is when you have liberal
billionaires willing to write a hundred million dollar cheque at the time that's
very difficult to try to equal the playing field that's why how do we equal
the playing field results versus resistance the results of this economy
better than we've seen in the last 50 years more jobs being offered than
people looking for it you look what we just did last week the largest pay raise
our military has had in nine years funding the military and building the
military back from those cuts under the Obama administration or what we've done
with the VA giving the choice act where veterans can go outside the network even
in their own community to find health care or the most comprehensive opioid
bill that just passed the House and Senate on to the President's desk to
combat that because you got a hundred and twelve people who will die today
because of an addiction but that is all changing in the direction of the results
that we were able to accomplish in the last year and a half but the sad part is
not one Democrat voted for that tax bill that brought us this economy back not
one Democrat in the house or the Senate not only did they not vote for it they
resisted it they resisted letting people keep more of their own money that's the
challenge of what we're going forward come November and and we know that Nancy
Pelosi very famously said that it's just crumbs mimo we just saw this past week
another GDP of better than four percent we're about to kick off the third
quarter earnings season and expectations are for twenty two percent earnings
growth another strong quarter for the for the corporate sector which you would
expect them to create new jobs I know that the president goes to some of these
rallies and it sort of energizes him to hear the people let's run a little of
this when you were with the president this weekend at a fundraiser watch all
the radical Democrats know is how do you obstruct and destroy because that's what
they want to find out we are asking for your support this November so that we
can protect your family your country and your freedom thank you very much
congressman go through some of the specific races that you are looking at
that are close or that you believe are striking in in this midterm election
well I'm in Virginia one race that I look at that
Barbara Comstock Democrats think you to win that if that election was today
Barbara would win what she's been able to do to change that around when you
look at 41 open seats where Republicans have retired but I look up in Minnesota
up in Duluth area this is a Democrat held area we're ahead with Pete I look
across the country in if you look to Florida one of the most challenged seats
if you just look on paper would be down in Miami area
Carlos Cabello he has the highest numbers he's ever had because he's been
able to focus one on the district itself but as we go across the country there's
battles in Texas because you've got a little tighter than normal
Senate race or you go to California where we only have 14 House Republican
members out of 53 but Hillary carried half those districts and we have two
open seats but Maria think of this Edie Royce is retiring so we have an open
race right there we have young Kim individuals from the
district worked hard immigrant came to America you know what the Democrat
opponent there Democrat opponent Gill he's been accused of sexual harassment
not by a Republican but by a Democrat who was running for the state assembly
and I've never heard Pelosi or Feinstein stand up for her or compete about what
was going on there or if you go across California you go down into Mimi Walters
and other seats that it is competitive but what's happening is Mike Bloomberg
are riding these million dollar checks outside of California trying to
influence what California voters think or believe yeah they're go not miss
Ford's goal is to lay this past the midterms so they can win the Senate and
never allow Trump to fill the seat with the final vote on Brett Kavanaugh delay
the stakes in the midterm elections just got even higher with Republicans
accusing Democrats of trying to push the confirmation past November when
Democrats hope to retake the Senate Wall Street Journal columnist and
Fox News contributor Karl Rove is a former senior advisor to President
George W Bush Karl welcome thanks for coming in today so what yeah what's the
impact of all of this last week on the House and Senate races well it depends
on whether you're red blue or purple if you're in a red state like Missouri or
Indiana where the two incumbent Democratic senators McCaskill of
Missouri and Donnelly in Indiana have come out opposed to Cavanaugh it could
hurt you you'll notice in a couple of red states North Dakota and West
Virginia the incumbent Democrats are keeping quiet interestingly enough so is
a Democrat in a purple state Kristin's cinema in Arizona is keeping quiet and
then also in Tennessee Phil Bredesen in a very red state is attempting to stay
out of this by saying he supports an FBI investigation but not opening beyond
that it's interesting you have Nelson in Florida tester in Montana and Rosen and
Nevada three Democrats who come out against Cavanaugh their Republican
opponents have come out in favor of yeah but I want to ask you a little bit more
about tech McCaskill and Donnelly in Missouri and Indiana because it seems to
me that those decisions they didn't have to make those decisions now they could
have waited and it seems to me that they must feel that the mere accusations and
and all of the the accusations against judge Cavanaugh are enough to give them
the political cover to be able to declare themselves and it won't hurt
them well maybe not because McCaskill for example announced before the before
this last week and she placed it all on the the fact that she worried that Brett
Kavanaugh would condone dark money in campaigns that is to say allow a 501 C
Force to allow to spend money in political money in Pacific oh how
horrible that never happened how horrible says the woman who's got a
bigger war chest than her Republican opponent and and and again in Indiana
Donnelly tried to place it in a more amorphous you know unfit because of a
record but but look I did it will hurt him it'll heard of one way or the other
think about Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota if she supports
Cavanaugh it will enrage the left of her party and lose her a couple of points
over there who will go vote for a Green Party candidate or to throw away their
ballots so it's in your if you're a Democrat in a red state there's no easy
explanation to to be in favor of Cavanaugh and you will pay a price if
you're against him similarly in our blue state it's easy for a Democrat to say is
against them and and very difficult to be for him all right but I tell you what
Karl my inbox emails filling up with people who say if the Republicans reject
Cavanaugh after these absolutely that they will lose I will not vote for them
that this is what they say and and they will deserve to lose do you think that
is in fact what will happen that's why I put it that exactly a sentiment in my
column a week ago the Republicans will if Democrats succeed in doing this the
Republicans will walk away from the battlefield just demoralized and and and
they're there incumbent members will be discredited and you can bet it will cost
the Republicans at the polls in the fall so look it'll hurt either way if you're
in a tight race in a purple state it may cost you a point or two which may be
enough to defeat you but if you're gonna get hurt one way or the other then do
the right thing and the right thing is to improve Brett Kavanaugh all right
let's step back overall where is the race for the Senate to stand right now I
count three seats Arizona Nevada and Tennessee that are close too close to
call those are Republican seats and four states North Dakota missourah
Indiana and Florida that are held by Democrats that are too close to call is
that how you see it well I'd add one more on to the too
close to call on the Democratic side Montana for some strange reason and
people working we're thinking tester was in great shape but a little there have
been now a couple of private and public polls showing the race close so I'd add
that as a fifth one I think you're absolutely right three there where the
Republicans are playing deep playing defense five where they're on the
offense what's interesting to me is if you look at it since 1998 in the last
ten midterms if a race is a toss-up and right now we're talking about nine races
that are literally almost every one of them considered by them almost every
prognosticators a toss-up those races a percent of the time have gone for the
party that won that state in the last presidential election and of the states
we're talking about in those nine races only one of them is in a state that
Hillary Clinton won now the lowest 67 percent the high is eighty nine percent
but the average is eighty percent that those are good numbers for Republicans
to keep the Senate and maybe add one or two net seats to their total but here's
another dynamic that if you look at history we've seen which is that when
you have this many close tight races what often happens is they all are
almost all of them break the same way and they break the same way as the party
that has the energy in that election 2010 2014 you remember 1986 when it
broke all for the Democrats that happens sometimes and it could that means this
this Senate campaign could go either way yeah look control of the United States
Senate in my opinion is going to be decided literally by a couple of tens of
thousands of votes in a in four or five states and it's going to be that close
and we're gonna have millions of votes cast in these nine contests and the
results at the end of the day who keeps control the Senate is gonna be a
fraction of that in a handful of states wow that means you've got to get out and
vote if you want to influence those elections absolutely
thanks for being here Carl thank you god bless you and God bless america
