What concerns did reporters raise about President Trump's primetime address at the very start?

Trevor Comstock 0:00

Will the President accept the results of November's elections?

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 0:05

Ms. Look, Ed, you should tune into the President's speech tonight before you jump ahead to conclusions about what's actually in the speech. Again, I've seen a lot of reporting and misreporting about what the President will say. We hope CBS will take the speech, and all Americans should take it.

Garrett Haake 0:19

The Press I'm not presuming anything. The Press Terrible.

Mike Lindell 0:21

Terrible. Terrible.

Garrett Haake 0:22

The Press Do you agree that this speech tonight is about elections past, not elections upcoming? The 2020 election has had dozens of recounts, lawsuits, audits. The 2024 election, widely believed to be safe and secure. There's not really any question about that. I think a lot of people look at this.

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 0:39

The Press Because it was too big to rig?

Garrett Haake 0:40

Mr. Well, I think a lot of people look at this and wonder.

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 0:42

The Press There's a massive amount of votes for this President. That's why he's in the Oval Office right now.

Garrett Haake 0:45

Mr. No one disputes that. And there were a significant amount of votes for Joe Biden, who won in 2020. And I think the question is, why is the President unable to let this go?

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 0:54

Well, first of all, Garrett, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this president about the sanctity of our elections. And your premise of your question, you're jumping ahead to a conclusion in this speech before even hearing it yourself. I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the president's speech and the findings that he is going to reveal in this speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity because it does, it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight and everything he is saying will be backed by facts and by evidence that will be provided this evening.

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 1:34

And again, Garrett, again, I think all Americans, Democrat, Republican, should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world. And what the president will be speaking about tonight We'll show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the Save America Act, as Rachel pointed out, is a key legislative priority for this president on Capitol Hill. And he wants to see all senators and members of Congress voting in favor of the Save America Act because it's crucially important as we move forward. This is something that the president is going to do, regardless of what others around him who may think this isn't the right time for this.

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 2:15

We don't need to be really relitigating 2020. He's going to still do it, especially when he has people like Bill Pulte, the acting DNI in his ear, because Bill Pulte is someone along with others who are pushing the president to declassify this information, to have all intel documents out there and to continue to peddle the 2020 conspiracy theories. I think the bigger concern is this is the kind of speech that a president usually gives when they're going to war. And this is, I think, his formal declaration of war on the elections this fall. He's been setting the stage in a number of different ways. He's been moving the pieces to undermine the integrity of the upcoming elections. And he's going to use 2020 to look in the rearview mirror and to look forward to 2026.

Caroline (Karoline) Leavitt 2:53

This is his chance to make a case that the 2026 election is rigged, shouldn't be trusted. And it's also most of all, I think, about protecting his power. Wars are always about power. He knows that a free and fair fall election is the circuit breaker to hold him and this administration accountable. He's consistently telegraphed his punches. He said he's going to attack the elections. Tonight, I think, will be the formal declaration. Is this a sign that President Trump is concerned about the possible outcomes of the midterm elections, or is this just him trying to relitigate the past?
