LET'S BRING IN JOHN JAMES NOW.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU AND THANKS
FOR COMING ON THE PROGRAM.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK.
>> Sandra: HOW IMPORTANT IS
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPPORT A FEW
WEEKS OUT FROM THE MID-TERMS?
>> WELL, HAVING THE SUPPORT OF
THE PRESIDENT IS AN HONOR.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE OF THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN FIRST.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
PRIORITIZING GOD AND COUNTRY IN
THAT ORDER AND THE PRESIDENT IS
VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND
RECOGNIZES HOW IMPORTANT
MICHIGAN IS TO THE ENTIRE UNION
AND HE ALSO RECOGNIZES THAT IN
ORDER TO MAKE SURE WE MOVE OUR
COUNTRY FORWARD, MICHIGAN MUST
LEAD.
SENATOR STABENOW HAS BEEN
LEADING FROM BEHIND FOR HER
43-YEAR CAREER.
SHE GOT ELECTED IN 1975, THE
YEAR THE VIETNAM WAR ENDED AND
SHE HAS COLLECTED $4 MILLION
FROM THE TAXPAYERS IN THAT TIME
AND BEEN SENATOR FOR 18 YEARS
AND GOT FIVE BILLS PASSED INTO
LAW.
SHE IS HYPER PARTISAN.
SHE IS ALL CHECK AND NO BALANCE.
>> Sandra: WE HEARD A BIT OF
THE DEBATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
I'LL SHOW YOU THE REAL CLEAR
POLITICS AVERAGE OF THIS RACE
RIGHT NOW.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS THE
AVERAGE OF POLLS BEFORE THOSE
DEBATES TOOK PLACE.
BUT IT DOES SHOW DEBBIE
STABENOW IN THE LEAD 54%.
YOU ARE TRAILING AT 37 1/2%,
JOHN.
HOW HOPEFUL ARE YOU THAT YOU
CAN FLIP THIS SEAT BLUE TO RED?
>> VERY HOPEFUL.
I PUT MY HOPE IN THE LORD AND
THE THING IS THE RESULT IS NOT
UP TO US BUT THE RACE IS.
BUT THE THING IS THE MOMENTUM
THAT WE'RE FEELING.
WE CUT THAT LEAD IN HALF.
THE MOST RECENT POLL SHOWS ME
IN SINGLE DIGITS NINE POINTS
AND DOUBLED HER UP IN
FUNDRAISING.
OUR 3.6 TO HER 1.8.
WE'LL HAVE THE RESOURCES DOWN
THE STRETCH.
PEOPLE WITH OUR MESSAGE IS
RESONATING.
NOT A BLACK OR WHITE MESSAGE
BUT A RED, WHITE AND BLUE
MESSAGE.
WE NEED LEADERSHIP IN
WASHINGTON THAT WILL BRING US
TOGETHER TO BRING RESOURCES
BACK TO THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MY LEADERSHIP
THAT I LEARNED ON THE
BATTLEFIELD AND BUSINESS TO
REPRESENT WELL.
STABENOW.
SHE HAS BROKEN PROMISES.
I ASKED HER WHY SHOULD WE
BELIEVE YOU NOW?
>> Sandra: HERE SHE IS ON THE
DEBATE STAGE.
LISTEN.
>> FRANKLY, IN THESE TIMES, I
BELIEVE THIS IS A TIME FOR
EXPERIENCE.
THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR
INEXPERIENCE WHEN IT IS SO
DIFFICULT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
THROUGH THINGS AND GET THINGS
DONE.
>> Sandra: THAT'S WHAT SHE IS
SAYING ABOUT YOU, INEXPERIENCED.
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO CUT INTO HER
LEAD?
>> THERE IS NO EXCUSE.
SHE HAS BEEN THERE 18 YEARS.
WE NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY WHO
CAN GET RESULTS AND NOT PUT
11th HOUR LEGISLATION OUT THERE.
I WILL MAKE SURE WE BRING
BALANCE AND RESULTS AND PEOPLE
ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING
SICK AND TIRED.
SHE IS PART OF THE
ESTABLISHMENT THAT -- WE HAVE
THE MOMENTUM AND WE'LL WIN THIS
THING IN NOVEMBER.
>> Sandra: THE PRESIDENT
TWEETING ABOUT THIS RACE.
WE'LL FOLLOW UP.
WE REACHED OUT TO DEBBIE
STABENOW AND INVITED HER ON THE
