READ WE SAT DOWN WITH JEFF COPP
AND HE'S THE CHAIR OF THE DAY.
IOWA GOP. HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO
SAY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
KEEPING I WILL READ.
>>I WOULD SAY IN 2008 2012, I
THINK PRESIDENT OBAMA TOOK IT
DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE.
OBVIOUSLY THE CLIMATE WAS GOOD
FOR DEMOCRATS IN THOSE YEARS
THE ECONOMY HAS TANKED
AND SO. IT WAS A IT WAS GOING
TO BE A YEAR WE'RE GOING TO
PROBABLY HAVE A DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENT. BUT WHEN PEOPLE
WANT ISLANDS WERE FACED WITH
BARACK OBAMA VERSUS HILLARY
CLINTON I THINK THEY WENT FOR
THE PERSON THAT THEY BELIEVE
WITH THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
OBAMA IT LEE SAID THAT HE WOULD
WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I WOULD
ARGUE THAT THAT DIDN'T
NECESSARILY HAPPEN. BUT HE
SAID THAT THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTED
THE ATTENTION. I WANT YOU KNOW
WE MAY BE A LITTLE LESS
ETHNICALLY DIVERSE THAN OTHER
STATES. BUT I'M TELLING YOU
THAT DOES NOT AFFECT THE
CHOICES THAT WE MAKE TED CRUZ
ONE OUR OUR CAUCUS IN 2016.
BARACK OBAMA WON THE PRIMARY.
I THINK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE. IOWANS TRULY DUE TO
TAKE A PAGE OUT OF MARTIN
LUTHER KING. I THINK WE LOOK AT
THE CONTENT OF CHARACTER SET OF
COLOR SKIN AND I WON'T HAVE A
HISTORY OF DOING THAT, I'M
MARCO RUBIO PLAYED VERY WELL
HERE. WE HAVE REPUBLICANS HAVE
BROKEN THE GLASS CEILING, A
REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS THE FIRST
FEMALE GOVERNOR, THE FIRST
FEMALE SENATOR THE FIRST FEMALE
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. SO I
REALLY I THINK OBAMA TOOK IT TO
THE PEOPLE WITH A WITHOUT
DONALD TRUMP. IT REALLY IN MY
OPINION UP 7 GENERATION ISLAND.
IT'S REALLY SIMPLE TO EXPLAIN.
PEOPLE WORKED UP
THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
FOR NOT KEEPING THEIR PROMISES.
DONALD TRUMP
APPEARED TO PEOPLE AND I THINK
HE'S REINFORCE AT THAT HE WILL
REMEMBER WHO SENT HIM
THERE HE WILL REMEMBER WHAT HE
SAID DURING HIS CAMPAIGN.
>>I WANT TO BRING UP WITH YOU
COULD WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH
FARMERS IN RURAL PARTS OF THE
STATE AND THEY HAVE FELT THE
SQUEEZE OF THE TRADE WAR
BETWEEN BEIJING AND WASHINGTON
ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT
COMMUNITY IN THE STATE IS GOING
TO STICK WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION CONTINUED
TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP ON
THAT FRONT WHERE DO YOU HAVE
CONCERNS AS SOME HAVE TOLD US
BEFORE EVER HAVE SOME
OF THAT PATIENT IS NOW
BEGINNING TO WEAR THIN.
>>I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION
YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW REPORTERS
IT'S ACTUALLY ASKING THAT
QUESTION IN A FAIR WAY YOU
HONEST TO GOODNESS USUALLY IT'S
LOADED IN A WAY OF WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO ABOUT THE PRESIDENT
HEARD THE PARTIAL I APPRECIATE
THAT QUESTION I THINK IT'S A
FAIR ONE. YES, IOWA FARMERS,
I'M I'M 7 GENERATION, IOWA,
FARM BOY, IOWA FARMERS ARE
STICKING WITH THE PRESIDENT
RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE THAT
FARMERS, I MEAN THEY THINK THE
GLOBAL TRADING PARTNERS UP FOR
THE WORLD ARE FARMERS GET
MACROECONOMICS THEY GET WHAT
CHINA HAS DONE AND THEY'RE
WILLING TO STAY WITH THIS
PRESIDENT. THE KEY QUESTION AND
I THINK THAT'S THE CRUX OF WHAT
YOU'RE ASKING ME IS FOR HOW
LONG. MY HONEST ANSWER IS I
DON'T KNOW. I THINK THEY SEE
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
I THINK THEY SEE A PRESIDENT
THAT'S TRYING AND I THINK THEY
SEE A PRESIDENT THAT STILL
MAKING HIS ARGUMENT THAT WE
HAVE TO HAVE THE SHORT TERM.
PAIN FOR SOME LONG-TERM GAIN
WHEN THE SEPARATIONS WEAR THEM,
I DON'T KNOW I THINK HE HAS
PONCE I WOULD NOT SAY THAT HE
HAS A YEAR. I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THAT'S NOT PART OF IT IS UP TO
THE PRESIDENT. ARE YOU GOING TO
CONTINUE TO MAKE YOUR CASE BUT
I CAN TELL YOU THAT FOR THE
SHORT TERM PAIN THAT THE
TARIFFS ARE CAUSING AND THERE
IS SOME HARDSHIP.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. THAT IS A
FIRECRACKER COMPARED TO THE
ATOMIC BOMB OF THE GREEN NEW
DEAL. IF THE TARIFFS HURT IOWA
FARMERS, THE GREEN NEW DEAL
WOULD DEVASTATE THE STATE AND
LIFE AS WE KNOW WHAT REAL IOWA.
SO WHEN YOU WHEN I COMPARED THE
2 HARDSHIPS THAT EACH PARTY MAY
BE
