Speaker Johnson to CNN’s Tapper: You Seem to Like Talking About Arnold Palmer’s Penis a Lot

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPPER: “I‘m sure that you think that a policy debate would be better than a personality debate. But if President Biden had gone on stage and spoke about the size of a pro-golfers. I think you would be on this show right now saying you were shocked and appalled and you would suggest it was evidenced of his cognitive decline. I wonder how Trump‘s remarks, not just the one about arnold palmer on his quote, manhood, but everything we‘ve heard from Trump this week, how it fits in with the analysis that The New York Times offered. A few days ago, they looked at his speeches from 2015 and 2016 and looked at his speeches today and said, quote, with the passage of time, the 78-year-old former president‘s speeches have grown darker harsher, longer, angry or less focused, more profane, and increasingly fixated on the past I know you want to talk about policy and I respect that, but the reason that Donald Trump is not up 10 points is because of comments like that one, where people do have concerns about his fitness, his acuity and his stability why is he talking about arnold palmer‘s in front of Pennsylvania voters?”

Johnson: “Jake you seem to like that line a lot. Let me tell you that. Donald Trump is doing rallies me.”

TAPPER: “Let me around. The country. They say something I don‘t want to be talking about, right Donald Trump is out there saying it it but you continue to let‘s talk because you won‘t wait a minute. Hold on. Won‘t address it he is out there talking about I‘ll address it limb. Okay.”

Johnson: “Okay. Don‘t say it again. We don‘t have to say it. I get it. There‘s lines in a rally when President Trump‘s is that a rally? Sometimes you‘ll speak for two straight hours you‘re questioning his stamina, his mental acuity. Joe Biden. Good. And do that for five minutes. That‘s how you we started this segment. You said, what if Biden was in a rally like that? He couldn‘t fill the room. Donald Trump does you know why? Because they see him as a change agent and they understand he has a record of performance in his first administration. We have the greatest economy in the history of the world. Jake, not just the U.S. everybody‘s wages are going up. Everybody had more jobs available to them. The pathway out of poverty was widened for more people. And that‘s what the American people are looking at. We‘re going to have a demographic shift and this electorate, Jake, there‘s going to be when they count the votes and they do the math and the other side of this I‘m convinced you‘re going to have a record number of Hispanic and Latino voters coming into the Republican Party. A record number of black and African-American voters record number of Jewish voters and union workers and hardware working families because they understand that the Harris policies have destroyed their family finances. They have made them less safe in their cities. They have a wide-open border with illegals and terrorists coming into our country. This is not working for the American people. They want to change, and that‘s what they see. And Donald Trump‘s. so he has fund at the rally valleys, he says things that are off the cuff, but I‘m telling you I‘ve been in those events. I‘ve been in those arenas and people have a great time at those arenas. So you can cherry pick a few words or lines but two-hour event, we could do that with Kamala Harris after 20 minute event because she does word salads and she couldn‘t she couldn‘t hold court like that without a teleprompter. We all know that the facts American people see it. And the media can pick it apart. But people are going to vote. They‘re going to vote what‘s best for their family and they see that in Trump.”
