What does Kamala Harris think of the working class?

Unknown Speaker 0:00
I wondered, I sat and watched you in the stands at the RNC, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody give a speech at a convention, a very well-received speech, without endorsing the candidate. How did you convince Trump to do that?
Sean Spicer 0:13
Well, I think Trump and I have a good relationship. We've got a mutual respect for each other. Apparently you do. Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker 0:30

We are honest brokers here to tell you what we think you need to know and do it honestly. Check out all of our content at TuckerCarlson.com. Here's the episode.
Sean Spicer 0:48
and you know i think he knew uh the struggles that we had with our membership we've got 1.3 million members so you know that membership is made up of republican democrats and independents um and you know we knew all along where our membership was trending and we had to do a lot of polling and everything else and um we had a lot of communication uh during uh the campaign leading up to the rnc so i think he knew uh the spot that we were in if we just came out and did a straight endorsement But we really couldn't do that because our process, we interviewed every single candidate from the people that entered the race early to the last two standing, which was Trump and Harris. And we interviewed them in a roundtable with rank and file members in our general executive board. And we provided each candidate with 16 of the same questions.
Sean Spicer 1:41
And, you know, the Trump was, you know, like all of them, they weren't strong on some of our issues and no fault of their own, because I don't think deep down they understood what our actual issues are. But at the end of the day, I think he knew that by us representing speaking at the RNC, representing the Teamsters Union, that he was actually showing. America, the American workers, that he was for labor, he was for working people. And my message was clear. You were there, I saw you standing up with him. And my message didn't endorse the Republicans, Democrats, or independents. It was clearly about what the American worker needs from the administration. I just couldn't believe they let you do that.
Unknown Speaker 2:24
Yeah, you know what's funny? I mean, it's a political convention. The whole point is to nominate this guy.
Sean Spicer 2:28
Right. But, you know, I got to tell you this. It's funny. So, leading up to the RNC, we're writing our speech and we're going through it and, you know, we're editing it internally, all of us. Great team. And... We submit it to the RNC, the folks. I think we submitted probably a week prior. And we submit the speech, and some of the underlings in the RNC didn't like what we had to say. I bet. And so they wanted to change it, modify it, and everything else. And we took a position. I took a position. Well, I'm not going then. And so we reached out to Susie Wiles and told her, look, we're not, we are not modifying this speech. And she's like, I don't think you should. She says, why don't you call DJ T and tell him?

What is the Teamsters Union and who do they represent?

Sean Spicer 3:16
So I called him on a cell phone and I said, listen, I said, they want us to modify this speech. He goes, I haven't seen it. He goes, I don't give a shit what you say. Do whatever you want, Sean. So 100% true. Oh, I believe you. So when we went there, I mean, obviously we were there.
Unknown Speaker 3:36
I can hear him saying that.
Sean Spicer 3:37
Yeah, yeah. So he actually said, say whatever the fuck you want to say. That's exactly what he said. And when we went there, it was great. It was a home run. And I think part of the thought process from the Republican side was, look, if we get – the general president of the biggest, strongest union in the country, that's going to signal to every working person that how committed the Republican Party is, the opportunity the Republican Party has to prove that they want to represent American workers.
Unknown Speaker 4:10
It's just, I mean, that is a window into what Trump is actually like. That's why I'm laughing because it's just so perfect. And I, you know, whatever you think of that, I happen to love it. But that is never done in politics. You never get a candidate to say whatever you want. What?
