Trump 2.0 Marks a New Era for Conservative Politics

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning. Well, this is Sean Spicer and he was President Trump’s forty five he was the press secretary, and he’s a host on WABC, and he has a new book, Trump two point zero. Sean, where do you want to start?

0:17 Speaker 2 Well, first of all, thanks for having me. You’re getting to get my money’s worth out of me on Sunday morning. I mean, we’re we’re working hard.

0:25 Speaker 1 Well, we love it.

0:27 Speaker 2 Ready for a show I got you know.

0:29 Speaker 1 You’re on at ten O’CLOCKX is Sunday morning, and I put you on for a couple of minutes for uh the catch round table. Uh, tell us about first? What do you think you’re gonna talk about at tenna CLOPX here you know yet?

0:43 Speaker 2 Yeah, absolutely, we’re gonna talk about the president’s trip to China, what he’s accomplishing, what it means for I think obviously a lot of focus on the economics, but I think there’s a big political win here there. The agricultural community is huge. You think about those races for governor and Senate in Iowa. He’s delivering for them. What the impact

0:59 of this is going to have jobs in the economy, is going to translate politically? And then Secondly, this whole redistricting is shifted significantly in the past seven to ten days. This has put new wind at the backs of Republicans headed into November, we’re talking about a plus gain of at least twelve seats. Then we’ve seen South Carolina, after

1:19 what happened in Indiana, say no because of the state Senate eighty seven to twelve for adding a seat in the South Carolina House. But the State Senate John where they have a super majority, the state Senate president said no way, we’re not taking that seat away from Jim Clyburn.

1:36 That could be who knows the way it Congress is right now, that could be a decisive seat. So we’ll talk about that, break it all down, give you the latest sun redistricting in just a few minutes.

1:44 Speaker 1 That’s a wow, that’s let’s see what happens. I mean, you know, Washington is crazy these days, and you know we used to have a common sense Washington where ron o’reagan and the Chip O’Neill they never liked each other, never, but they sat down around table and they made what’s good for America. They made decisions what’s good for America.

2:07 And even Bill Clinton and Neu ginguage. They didn’t like each other, but they sat around and did what’s good for America and they were very successful, both of them. What happened in the last ten years.

2:22 Speaker 2 I think what happened was Democrats enjoyed the monopoly they had on so many institutions, big tech, corporate America, academia, the media.

2:31 Speaker 1 And what has.

2:32 Speaker 2 Happened, especially in the era of Trump, I would say the past ten years, is that monopoly has started to get broken up. What’s at independent media? You take that right. There’s now all of these new outlets WABC and other streaming that have created tension because these people who used to have a monopoly because they were deciding what we read,

2:53 saw and heard, now have competition. They don’t like that. That the same thing in academia, the Trump administration going out after them, the woke DEI culture, and not just academia, but in big tech and big corporate America. I think they’re threatened by it, and because of that, they’re willing to fight back. You look at Hikeem Jefferies making it

3:12 very clear that he’s willing to pack the court make whatever quote unquote judicial reforms he needs to make because they don’t like they’re not getting their way. So that means if we don’t get our way, we get rid of them, we pack the court, we do whatever. And that’s the problem is that the Democrats in the left

3:27 field threatened, and that’s why they’re willing to now say and do whatever they need to do in a way that they haven’t in the past.

3:33 Speaker 1 You know what I’m afraid of. I believe in one American, one vote, one citizen, one vote, and it’s just I’m not feeling comfortable that we’re getting that right now.

3:44 Speaker 2 No, because they again think about what was really at stake and open borders. This was not about some humanitarian thing. There were women and children being trafficked. This was about the future of the Democratic Party. These guys get, as I said, they feel that they are under attack and on Streton, so they’ll do whatever. Why are they opposing

4:03 the Save America Act? I get When I came into WABC downstairs, the gentleman said, can I see some ID when you require benefits for the poor? Wick?

4:13 Speaker 2 Snap, all of these things for housing, all the things that no Democrat has ever objected to poor people having to show ID when it comes to getting benefits and yet when it comes to voting, they suddenly care why because again you know that there’s something bigger at stake here.

4:30 And that’s what’s happening is the Democrats are trying to figure out how do they rig the system, how do they rig the game? And Republicans are finally standing up and calling their bluff understood.

4:40 Speaker 1 Now, you wrote a new booked, Yes, Trump two point oh, tell us about it.

4:45 Speaker 2 You and I were talking about this before we got on air. Understanding what happened in those four years between Trump one point zero and Trump two point zero is absolutely critical. He wasn’t just hanging out at mar Lago or at Bedminster, right.

4:59 Speaker 1 He was meeting with people.

5:00 Speaker 2 He was talking to polsters, He was plotting his team. Brooke Rollins, Linda McMahon, Larry Cudler, they all stood up America First Policy Institute. They were getting ready, and all of that was seen. And I can tell you as someone who’s there on day one of Trump one point oh, there is a stark contrast to day one of Trump

5:19 two point oh. But it wasn’t by accident. I had a conversation the president wrote the forward to Trump two point oh. He and I have talked about this. What he did in Trump one point oh historic monumental. But it’s very different to not understand John what happened in those four years, and you know this better than anybody.

5:35 The transformation to how we approached the beginning of Trump one point oh and two point zero, the people, the process, the policies that it pursued vastly different because he understood and he used that time wisely.

5:47 Speaker 1 And uh, President Trump one point oh was a different president yea than Trump two point oh.

5:55 Speaker 2 And by the way, thanks to everyone in the WABC listening audience, this book made the New York Times bestseller list last week. And by the way, when I published the book and we were getting ready to do the list, my publisher looked at me and said, Sean, I gotta be honest, it has the president’s face on it. I

6:10 don’t know that the New York Times will ever put that on the bestseller list. And because of the people in this audience that went out there and bought it, even the New York Times couldn’t ignore the amount of support there was in the book. So a big thank you to everybody in your listening audience that did this.

6:24 Speaker 1 That is wonderful. Thank you, Sean Spicer, and I’ll be listening to you all right.

6:29 Speaker 2 I’m going to get ready, Boston, Go get ready.
