Q & A

  • 尼基·海莉为何在结束竞选后选择支持特朗普?

    -尼基·海莉支持特朗普可能是出于政治生存和未来职业发展的考虑。她选择了与特朗普世界合作的'马尔科·卢比奥选项',而不是像利兹·切尼那样采取原则立场。

  • 特朗普的道德品质是否会影响他的政治前途?

    -道德品质确实重要,不应该为了政治便利而忽视。如果一个人被认为是道德败坏的,那么他的政策立场和政治前途都可能受到质疑。

  • 为什么说尼基·海莉的转变可能是出于政治生存的考虑?

    -尼基·海莉在竞选期间对特朗普有严厉的批评,但后来选择支持他,这可能是因为她希望继续自己的政治生涯,并在共和党内部保持影响力。

  • 特朗普在纽约的刑事案件审判结果会如何影响选举?

    -如果特朗普被判有罪,可能会影响公众对他的看法,从而影响选举。但如果是无罪释放,也可能会激发他的支持者,因此审判结果对选举有重要影响。

  • 为什么说特朗普在吸引非白人选民方面取得了进展?

    -特朗普可能通过强调经济政策和打击非法移民等议题,赢得了一些非白人选民的支持。但这也有可能是因为某些民调的样本量不足,导致数据不准确。

  • 拜登总统在特朗普刑事审判中会采取什么立场?

    -拜登总统可能会在审判结束后根据结果发表意见。如果特朗普被判有罪,拜登可能会强调不应由一个有刑事定罪的人担任总统。

  • 为什么特朗普在布朗克斯的演讲中提到对非裔美国人的影响?

    -特朗普在布朗克斯的演讲中提到移民对非裔美国人的负面影响,可能是为了吸引那些对移民问题敏感的白人选民,以此来构建对他们的支持。

  • 如何看待特朗普在非裔美国人中的支持率上升的说法?

    -这种说法可能基于样本量较小的民调,因此可能并不准确。实际上,特朗普是否真的在非裔美国人中取得了支持率的上升还需要更多的证据来支持。

  • 为什么说特朗普的刑事审判结果可能不会影响选举?

    -如果选民更关心的是经济和社会问题,而不是特朗普的个人问题,那么刑事审判结果可能不会对选举产生太大影响。

  • 如何看待特朗普和拜登都在积极争取有色人种选民的现象?

    -这表明两党都认识到有色人种选民在选举中的重要性,并且都在努力扩大自己的选民基础。

  • 拜登总统在莫尔豪斯学院的演讲中提到了哪些关键议题?

    -拜登总统在演讲中提到了对传统黑人大学的投资、减少黑人儿童贫困和学生债务减免等议题,这些都是他试图吸引非裔美国人支持的关键政策。

😀 尼基·哈利回归与特朗普竞选

尼基·哈利宣布她将在秋季回归,她结束了自己的竞选活动后,外界一直猜测她是否会支持特朗普。她在一次演讲中明确表示将投票给特朗普,但同时敦促特朗普应该向那些投票给她并继续支持她的数百万选民伸出援手,而不是假设他们会无条件地支持他。分析人士指出,作为共和党政治家,哈利选择了与特朗普世界妥协的路线,而不是像利兹·切尼那样坚持原则立场。尽管哈利对特朗普的道德品质有严重质疑,但她仍然选择支持他,这引发了关于政治道德和政治权宜之计的讨论。

05:00

😯 特朗普刑事审判与选举影响

特朗普即将面临的刑事审判吸引了大量美国人的关注。最新民调显示,70%的受访者表示他们正在密切关注这场审判。分析人士认为,无论审判结果如何,都会对选举产生影响。如果特朗普被定罪,这将是一个重大事件,而如果被宣告无罪,人们的反应也同样值得关注。此外,讨论还涉及了特朗普和拜登在争取有色人种选民方面的努力,尤其是非洲裔和拉丁裔选民,他们在2020年大选中对拜登的支持至关重要。

10:05

😶 选民态度与特朗普的种族政治策略

特朗普在布朗克斯的一次集会上向人群发表讲话,声称大量移民进入美国对非洲裔美国人产生了负面影响,导致他们失去工作和住房。与此同时,拜登在莫尔豪斯学院的毕业典礼上发表演讲,强调了对抗极端主义势力的重要性,并提出了一系列针对非洲裔美国人的经济和社会政策。分析人士指出,特朗普的策略可能不是直接争取非洲裔或拉丁裔选民的支持,而是向摇摆不定的白人选民发出信号,让他们认为特朗普可能并不像他们想象的那么糟糕。此外,讨论还涉及了民意调查的准确性和它们在预测选举结果方面的局限性。

01:00

01:04

CHRIS CHRISTIE RAN AGAINST HIM

POLITICIAN AND BELIEVES

01:33

FUNDAMENTALLY IN THE REPUBLICAN

01:34

PARTY AND SHE HAS GONE FOR THE

01:35

MARCO RUBIO OPTION.

01:36

THE QUESTION I WOULD ASK HER IS,

01:39

IN MOST LINES OF WORK, IF YOU

01:40

THINK SOMEONE IS A MORAL

01:42

DEGENERATE, YOU DON'T GET TO THE

01:42

SECOND QUESTION OF, WHAT DO YOU

01:44

THINK ABOUT TAX POLICY?

01:45

[LAUGHTER]

01:45

YOU SORT OF STOP THERE.

01:47

SHE REALLY HAS SERIOUS NOT ONLY

01:50

DOUBTS BUT IS TOTALLY CONDEMNING

01:51

OF HIS CHARACTER.

01:52

WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT MARGINAL

01:55

TAX RATES?

01:56

IF HE'S A BAD GUY, HE'S GOING TO

02:00

BE -- SHE CARES ABOUT AMERICA'S

02:01

ALLIANCES ABROAD AND I AGREE

02:02

WITH HER ON MOST ISSUES ON THAT

02:03

FRONT BUT HE'S NOT GOING TO BE

02:04

GOOD FOR ALLIES IF HE'S GOING TO

02:05

BETRAY ALLIES, AS HE BETRAYS ALL

02:06

HIS FRIENDS.

02:08

MORAL CHARACTER REALLY DOES

02:09

MATTER.

02:10

IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU JUMP

02:11

OVER FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE.

02:12

>> IS IT ABOUT POLITICAL

02:15

SURVIVOR, IS IT A VP PLAY,

02:17

POTENTIALLY?

02:17

>> WHO KNOWS?

02:19

QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE.

02:27

THE PROGRAM, YOU THROW ALL THE

02:29

VALUES -- ALL YOUR VALUES, ALL

02:31

YOUR POSITIONS, ALL YOUR

02:33

CHARACTER OUT THE WINDOW FOR

02:34

POLITICAL PURPOSES?

02:35

THE MARCO RUBIO OPTION

02:37

IS A SOULLESS OPTION.

02:39

SHE CALLED TRUMP EVERYTHING BUT

02:42

A CHILD OF GOD IN THE CLOSING

02:46

WEEKS OF HER CAMPAIGN AND NOW

02:48

SHE IS SAYING I'M GOING TO VOTE

02:49

FOR HIM -- BUT?

02:50

THE DAVID'S POINT, THERE IS NO

02:53

BUT HERE.

02:56

WHEN IT COMES TO DOMESTIC POLICY

02:57

OR FOREIGN POLICY.

02:59

I WISH NIKKI HALEY HAD STOOD BY

03:03

THE CONVICTION SHE SHOWED IN THE

03:04

FINAL WEEKS OF HER CAMPAIGN AND

03:05

GONE THE LIZ CHENEY ROUTE AND

03:09

NOT BLOW UP HER CAREER BUT TO

03:10

SOMETHING BIGGER THAN CRAVEN

DOWN THE ROAD.

03:16

03:17

POLITICAL SURVIVOR, IS THAT

POLITICAL FUTURE UNDERMINED BY

03:21

SOMEONE WHO COMPLETELY 180'ED ON

03:26

HER STANCE?

03:27

NOW SHE ENDORSES HIM?

03:33

>> NOT IN MY LIFETIME, HOPEFULLY

03:34

A LITTLE LONGER THAN THAT.

03:34

[LAUGHTER]

03:35

FOR THE NEXT DECADE.

03:35

THIS IS A WORKING-CLASS

03:41

POPULIST PARTY AND YOU BETTER

03:42

GET WITH A TRUMP PROGRAM OR I

03:43

REALLY DON'T SEE A FUTURE FOR

03:43

YOU.

03:44

>> SPEAKING OF FORMER PRESIDENT

03:44

TRUMP, BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK,

03:46

WE COULD HAVE A VERDICT IN HIS

03:49

CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL IN NEW

03:50

YORK WHICH THE LATEST POLLS SHOW

03:51

A LOT OF AMERICANS HAVE BEEN

03:52

PAYING ATTENTION TO IN SOME

03:53

FORM.

03:54

THE LATEST NUMBERS FROM

03:55

QUINNIPIAC SHOW A 70% OF THOSE

03:58

POLLED SAY THEY ARE VERY CLOSELY

04:00

OR SOMEWHAT CLOSELY FOLLOWING

04:01

THE TRIAL.

04:02

DO YOU THINK A CONVICTION OR

04:05

ACQUITTAL CHANGES THE RACE AT

04:06

ALL?

04:09

>> YES, HOW COULD IT NOT WHEN

04:11

YOU HAVE 70% OF THE PEOPLE WHO

04:11

ARE PAYING ATTENTION?

04:12

IF IT IS AN ACQUITTAL,

04:15

I'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW

04:16

THE PEOPLE REACT.

04:16

IF IT IS A CONVICTION,

04:19

I'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW

04:20

PEOPLE REACT.

04:21

THAT IS A GREAT SIGN.

04:22

I AM GLAD THE MAJORITY OF

04:25

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE

04:27

PAYING ATTENTION TO A TRIAL

04:29

THAT IS NOT EVEN BEING

04:34

TELEVISED.

04:34

BEFORE THE TRIAL STARTED,

04:35

I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT?

04:36

MAYBE THIS YEAR WILL BE

04:37

LIKE THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE

04:38

HEARINGS.

04:40

NOT MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY

04:42

WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT BUT THEY

04:42

DID.

04:44

BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE A SLOW

04:45

TRICKLE.

04:45

PEOPLE PAID ATTENTION.

04:47

THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE TOLD PEOPLE

04:49

THEY WERE PAYING ATTENTION.

04:50

BUT HOW CAN YOU SIT THROUGH

04:52

10 EPISODES OF COMPELLING

04:55

TESTIMONY AND NOT HAVE IT IMPACT

04:56

YOU?

04:57

WHAT'S INTERESTING HERE IS --

05:00

THIS CHILD IS NOT EVEN BEING

05:01

TELEVISED.

05:02

ON CABLE TELEVISION,

05:03

THEY ARE GETTING LIVE

05:06

READOUTS FROM REPORTERS

05:08

INSIDE THE COURTROOM YET PEOPLE

05:09

ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

05:09

THAT IS A GREAT SIGN

05:11

FOR THE REPUBLIC.

05:12

>> I'M SUPER SKEPTICAL.

05:13

[LAUGHTER]

05:14

U.S. PEOPLE, ARE YOU PLAYING --

05:18

YOU ASK PEOPLE, ARE YOU PAYING

05:19

CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ENTIRE

05:20

ELECTION?

05:20

IS LIKE 45%, 50%.

05:22

I'M SUPER SKEPTICAL.

05:24

[LAUGHTER]

05:27

WILL IT AFFECT THE ELECTION?

05:31

I AM UNSURE ABOUT IT.

05:36

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT SAY IT

05:37

WILL.

05:37

BUT THE CRUCIAL QUESTION IS,

05:38

WHAT IS THIS ELECTION ABOUT?

05:40

ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID EVERY

05:42

ELECTION IS ABOUT AN ESSENTIAL

05:43

QUESTION, IS THIS ELECTION ABOUT

05:46

--

05:46

DONALD TRUMP IS A THREAT TO

05:47

DEMOCRACY, IF THAT IS WHAT IS

05:50

AT THE CENTER OF PEOPLE'S MINDS,

05:52

THEN THE TRIAL WILL HAVE AN

05:53

EFFECT.

05:54

BUT THE CRUCIAL QUESTION IS,

05:55

THE ELITES ARE

05:59

SCREWING US AND CRUSHING THIS

06:01

COUNTRY AND IF NOT, PEOPLE WILL

06:04

NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE CHILD

06:05

BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BIGGER

06:05

THINGS ON THEIR MINDS.

06:08

MY REVELATION IS, IT IS A

06:10

MISTAKE TO LOOK AT THIS ELECTION

06:11

IN AMERICA ONLY TERMS.

06:12

IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE WORLD,

06:14

WHO WAS DOING WELL, IT'S PEOPLE

06:16

LIKE DONALD TRUMP WHETHER IT IS

06:17

IN MODI IN INDIA, IN INDONESIA,

06:22

IN THE NETHERLANDS, ALL AROUND

06:24

THE WORLD, RIGHT WING PARTIES,

06:28

PORTUGAL, THEY ARE DOING

06:29

PHENOMENAL.

06:31

THIS MAY BE JUST THAT KIND OF

06:31

YEAR.

06:33

BUT I AM UNCERTAIN.

06:34

WHICH WILL BE THE CENTRAL

06:35

QUESTION?

06:36

>> IF THE TRIAL MATTERS, AND

06:38

IF THERE IS A CONVICTION,

06:42

SO FAR WE HAVE SEEN PRESIDENT

06:42

BIDEN KEEPING IT AT ARMS LENGTH,

06:46

DO YOU THINK WE WILL HEAR MORE

06:47

FROM HIM IF THERE'S A

06:47

CONVICTION?

06:48

WILL HE LEAN INTO IT?

06:49

>> WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM HIM

06:52

ONCE OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS HAS

06:53

PLAYED ITSELF OUT.

06:55

NO MATTER WHAT THE VERDICT IS.

06:57

IF IT'S A CONVICTION,

06:59

YOU BETTER BELIEVE HE WILL SAY

07:00

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

07:01

YOU WANT IT CRIMINALLY --

07:05

A CRIMINALLY CONVICTED PRESIDENT

07:05

OF THE UNITED STATES?

07:09

IF IT IS AN ACQUITTAL,

07:09

I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT

07:10

THE MESSAGE IS.

07:11

JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN

07:13

DID NOT TALK ABOUT TRUMP

07:16

BY NAME UNTIL HE WAS THE

07:16

PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE, I DON'T

07:18

EXPECT THEM TO SAY ANYTHING

07:19

UNTIL THE CASE IS DONE.

07:20

>> WE HAVE SEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN

07:23

AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP DOING

07:24

A LOT OF OUTREACH TO VOTERS OF

07:25

COLOR IN PARTICULAR, BLACK

07:30

VOTERS AND HISPANIC VOTERS, A

07:31

GROUP THAT WENT HEAVILY FOR MR.

07:32

BIDEN AND 2020 -- IN 2020.

07:35

HERE IS PART OF WHAT HE HAD TO

07:36

SAY TO THE GRADUATING CLASS AT

07:38

MOREHOUSE COLLEGE.

07:39

>> WE KNOW BLACK MEN ARE GOING

07:42

TO HELP LEAD US IN THE FUTURE,

07:43

FROM THIS CLASS AND THIS

07:44

UNIVERSITY.

07:45

[APPLAUSE]

07:51

GRADUATES, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE

07:52

UP AGAINST, EXTREMIST FORCES.

07:58

THEY PEDDLE FICTION, A

08:02

CARICATURE.

08:04

BUT BEING A MAN IS ABOUT

08:07

TOUGH TALK.

08:08

ABUSING POWER, BIGOTRY,

08:12

THEIR IDEA IS TOXIC.

08:14

>> HERE IS HOW FORMER PRESIDENT

08:16

TRUMP ADDRESSED A CROWD IN THE

08:16

BRONX LAST NIGHT.

08:18

>> THESE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS

08:21

OF THAT ARE COMING INTO OUR

08:22

COUNTRY -- THE'S BIGGEST IMPACT

08:26

ON THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE IMPACT

08:28

IS AGAINST OUR BLACK POPULATION

08:33

WHO ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS,

08:35

LOSING THEIR HOUSING, LOSING

08:36

EVERYTHING THEY CAN LOSE.

08:37

>> THOSE ARE TWO VERY

08:40

DIFFERENT KINDS OF MESSAGING YET

08:43

TRUMP HAS MADE INROADS WITH SOME

08:43

OF THESE VOTERS OF COLOR.

08:44

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

08:46

>> OK, BUCKLE UP.

08:47

[LAUGHTER]

08:48

THIS INROADS, THIS NOTION

08:51

TRUMP HAS MADE INROADS AS A

08:55

RESULT OF A NEW YORK TIMES POLL

08:56

THAT CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY, WHERE

08:58

SHOCKINGLY IT SAID TRUMP WAS

09:00

GETTING 23% OF BLACK SUPPORT --

09:03

NOW, WHEN I WAS CONFRONTED WITH

09:05

THIS, I WAS LIKE, DO YOU EVEN

09:08

KNOW THE SAMPLE SIZE?

09:10

BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT --

09:11

AS ANY BLACK POLLSTER, THEY ARE

09:14

LIKE, IT'S NOT THERE.

09:15

THE SAMPLE SIZE ON THAT POLL WAS

09:19

119 RESPONDENTS FOR A NATIONAL

09:22

POLL.

09:23

>> IT'S A FALSE NARRATIVE.

09:24

>> IT'S A FALSE NARRATIVE.

09:25

WE GO THROUGH THIS EVERY FOUR

09:26

YEARS.

09:27

WILL BLACK VOTERS SHOW UP?

09:28

THE SUPPORT IS SOFTENING --

09:31

MY GOD, IT FEELS LIKE, TO LOTS

09:33

OF US THAT THESE NARRATIVES ARE

09:36

PERPETUATED SO THAT IF THE

09:37

DEMOCRAT LOSES, NO MATTER WHAT

09:39

RACE, OH, THE AFRICAN AMERICANS

09:43

DID NOT SHOW UP SO IT IS THEIR

09:43

FAULT.

09:44

WITH THE PRESIDENT'S'S SPEECH,

09:47

HE MADE THE MORAL ARGUMENT ABOUT

09:48

DEMOCRACY AND MASCULINITY IN

09:51

EVERYTHING BUT HE ALSO TALKED

09:51

SPECIFICS.

09:54

$16 BILLION INVESTED IN HBCUS.

09:57

CUTTING BLACK CHILD POVERTY.

09:59

WHAT GOT THE BIGGEST APPLAUSE

09:59

LINE WAS STUDENT DEBT RELIEF.

10:04

HE IS COMBINING AN ECONOMIC

10:05

MESSAGE WITH THE MORAL MESSAGE.

10:08

AND KNOWING WHO HIS AUDIENCE IS,

10:13

DONALD TRUMP, THIS IS NOT ABOUT

10:16

GETTING BLACK VOTERS TO VOTE FOR

10:17

HIM, THIS IS NOT ABOUT GETTING

10:19

LATINO VOTERS TO VOTE FOR HIM,

10:21

BECAUSE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW

10:23

HISPANIC AMERICANS THERE, AT

10:26

THAT RALLY IN THE BRONX, BUT

10:27

THIS IS NOT ABOUT COURTING THEM,

10:31

THIS IS ABOUT A PERMISSION

10:32

STRUCTURE FOR WHITE VOTERS ON

10:35

THE PERIPHERY WHO LOOK AND HEAR

10:36

LANGUAGE LIKE THAT AND THINK, I

10:38

DON'T LIKE THAT, I DON'T LIKE

10:39

HIM, I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THAT

10:40

SOUNDS, BUT WAIT, HE IS IN THE

10:42

SOUTH BRONX, TALKING TO THOSE

10:46

PEOPLE, MAYBE HE'S NOT THAT BAD.

10:47

THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS.

10:49

>> DAVID, A FINAL WORD HERE.

10:51

WE'VE GOT A MINUTE LEFT.

10:52

>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS ABOUT

10:53

ONE POLL.

10:54

[LAUGHTER]

10:55

OBAMA WON THE WHITE WORKING

11:00

CLASS BY 76%, BIDEN IS UP BY 6%.

11:02

THE RESULTS IN TEXAS AND

11:07

CALIFORNIA, LATINO VOTERS IN

11:08

2020, THOSE WERE ACTUAL RESULTS.

11:10

THOSE WERE RESULTS SHOWING A

11:10

SHIFT.

11:11

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL POLL

11:17

SHOWING AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN,

11:18

30% FOR TRUMP, THESE ARE A WHOLE

11:18

BUNCH OF BOWLING RESULTS --

11:19

THE QUESTION IS, WILL THE

11:21

RESULTS LEAD TO VOTING RESULTS?

11:24

A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ARE SO

11:25

DISAFFECTED THAT THEY MAY NOT

11:25

VOTE.

11:26

IT IS FUNDAMENTALLY TRUE THAT

11:28

WORKING-CLASS VOTERS ARE VOTING

11:29

MORE LIKE WORKING-CLASS VOTERS

11:31

NO MATTER WHAT OTHER IDENTITIES

11:32

THEY MAY HAVE.

11:34

I THINK THERE'S A GENDER GAP

11:35

WHERE GUYS ARE MOVING.

11:36

HOW BIG THAT IS?

11:38

A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE MAY

11:44

REGISTER A PROTEST WITH THE

11:44

POSTER BECAUSE THEY ARE UPSET

11:45

WITH THINGS BUT THAT DOES NOT

11:46

MEAN THEY ARE GOING TO VOTE THIS

11:47

WAY.

11:47

I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO --

11:48

I THINK THE TREND TOWARD WORKING

11:50

CLASS PEOPLE VOTING, THAT

11:53

IS A REAL THING THAT IS ACROSS A

11:54

LOT OF ELECTIONS AND A LOT OF

11:55

POLLS.

11:56

>> POLLS OUR A MOMENT IN TIME,

11:59

THEY ARE NOT PREDICTIVE.

12:00

IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU BOTH.

12:01

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
