Governor Larry Hogan Join Jake Tapper

REPUBLICAN IS HOPING TO THROW A WRENCH INTO THOSE PLANS AND I'M JOINED NOW BY FORMER MARYLAND GOVERNOR LARRY HOGAN, THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME REALLY APPRECIATE THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BETWEEN TRUMP AND HARRIS. KAMALA HARRIS SET TO KICK OFF TOMORROW NIGHT. THERE'S GOING TO BE THE A LOT OF SPOTLIGHT ON HER LINAC SPOTLIGHT ON HIM WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE? >> I'M NOT SURE WHAT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE, BUT WHAT I'M HOPING THAT WE'LL SEE IS AN ACTUAL DEBATE OF THE ISSUES I MEAN, AS I'M OUT THERE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL EVERY DAY, THERE ARE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT, ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND THE ECONOMY, ABOUT CRIME, ABOUT YOU KNOW SECURING THE BORDER AND FIXING OUR BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WE HAVEN'T HEARD A LOT OF SUBSTANCE, FRANKLY FROM EITHER ONE OF THEM AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT WE HAVE A REAL DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUES AND NOT JUST MORE OF THE KIND OF ANGRY FIGHTING WE SEE ALL DAY ON TELEVISION AND ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. >> YEAH, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S COMMENTS ABOUT JANUARY 6, IN RECENT WEEKS, YOU'VE ACTUALLY BEEN RUNNING ADS ON THE FACT THAT YOU TOOK ACTIONS TO PROTECT THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6. HERE'S A CLIP FROM ONE OF YOUR AUNT'S AND ON JANUARY 6 AS WE WATCHED IN HORROR, HOGAN DIDN'T JUST TALK ABOUT DEFENDING DEMOCRACY. >> HE DID SOMETHING SENDING IN THE MARYLAND NATIONAL GUARD TO PROTECT THE CAPITAL THAT'S THE SAME. >> LARRY HOGAN, TOUGH, INDEPENDENT, NEVER BACKS DOWN SO THIS COMES AS OVER THE WEEKEND, MR. TRUMP POSTED ON TRUTH SOCIAL ABOUT PEOPLE THAT HE ACCUSES FALSELY OF CHEATING IN THE 2020 ELECTION. >> HE SAYS IN PART QUOTE, WHEN I, WHEN THOSE PEOPLE THAT CHEATED WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, WHICH WILL INCLUDE LONG PRISON SENTENCES. SO THAT THIS DEPRAVITY OF JUSTICE DOES NOT HAPPEN. AGAIN, THAT MUST BOTHER YOU. THAT'S KIND OF CONTRARY TO YOUR MESSAGE. >> AND I JUST NOT JUST CONTRARY TO MY MESSAGE, BUT TO EVERYTHING I BELIEVE IN AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I'VE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST OUTSPOKEN CRITICS FOR SINCE THE MOMENT THAT DONALD TRUMP CAME DOWN, THE ESCALATOR AS THE COMMERCIAL SET, ONE OF THE ONLY REPUBLICANS WHO NEVER CAVED, BUT I MEAN, I WAS I WAS DISGUSTED BY THE TALK ABOUT THE STOLEN ELECTION AND DISGUSTED BY WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6, THEN THE LEADERS OF CONGRESS WERE REACHING OUT TO ME DESPERATELY ASKING FOR HELP. WE SENT THE MARYLAND STATE POLICE AND THE MARYLAND NATIONAL GUARD AND, THE NEXT DAY, I CALLED ON PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RESIGN AND LET MIKE PENCE FINISH OUT A PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER DO YOU WORRY AT ALL THAT TRUMP MIGHT COME AFTER YOU IF HE WINS BECAUSE YOU ARE, I MEAN, YOU WERE ON THE SIDE OF ELECTION INTEGRITY AND LAW AND ORDER AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HE'S DONE IN THIS CONTEXT. I'M NOT AFRAID OF IT. THAT'S FOR SURE. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN WILLING TO STAND UP AND HE LASHED OUT AT ME A FEW TIMES, BUT LOOK, YOU'RE NOT BATTLED LIFE-THREATENING CANCER IF YOU MEAN TWEETS FROM DONALD TRUMP ARKIN ABOUT HIM, HOW IS YOUR HEALTH, BY THE WAY, I'M DOING GREAT AND NEVER BEEN HELD HERE LAST WEEK, I SPOKE WITH YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATE OPPONENT, ANGELA ALSOBROOKS FROM PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY. >> HER MESSAGE TO DEMOCRATS IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND WHERE THERE ARE MORE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, IS THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT A MAGA REPUBLICAN, YOU ARE IN FACT SKILL A REPUBLICAN. TAKE A LISTEN WAS RECRUITED TO RUN IN THIS RACE BY MITCH MCCONNELL. >> HE JUST TWO YEARS AGO VETOED ABORTION CARE LEGISLATION IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WHERE WE REFUSED TO SIGN LEGISLATION THAT WOULD HAVE BANNED GHOST GUNS. HE HE VETOED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN SENSIBLE WAITING PERIOD FOR LONG GUNS. AND SO WE KNOW THAT MANY OF THE POLICIES OF THIS REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE ONES THAT LARRY HOGAN HAS GOVERNOR A FAVORITE FAVOR OF THOSE POLICIES YOUR RESPONSE? WELL, SADLY, MY OPPONENT'S ENTIRE CAMPAIGN IS BASED ON LIES, SO ON MITCH MCCONNELL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RECRUITED ME INTO THE RACE. I KNOW HE TRIED TO COME CONVINCE ME TWO YEARS AGO TO RUN APART DIFFERENT RACE, BUT I >> GETTING BETWEEN A WOMAN AND HER DOCTOR OR NOTHING TO DO WITH PROVIDING ABORTIONS IN THE STATE WHICH HAVE WE HAVE PROTECTED WOMEN'S RIGHTS. NO ONE SHOULD GET BETWEEN A WOMAN AND HER DOCTOR, BUT THIS WASN'T ABOUT DOCTORS WHO WAS NOT NON-LICENSED PROFESSIONALS. >> WHAT ABOUT THE LEGISLATION SHE TALKS TO A TALKS ABOUT IN TERMS OF GHOST GUNS AND LONG GUNS. >> WELL, THERE WAS A BATTLE OVER SOME OF THE DETAILS ON THAT, BUT I LOOK FOR FOR A UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, I SIGNED A RED FLAG LAW. I SIGNED A BILL ON BUMPS STOCKS AND I'M I'M PUSHING FOR MORE COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS ON THIS ISSUE. BUT WE HAVE THE TOUGHEST GUN LAWS IN AMERICA, AND YET WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE BEING MURDERED ON THE STREETS NEARLY EVERY OTHER DAY, INCLUDING PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, WHERE MURDERS ARE UP 100% YES. >> THERE WAS A SHOOTING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LAST WEEK, REALLY AWFUL. >> I'VE REACHED OUT THAT A SHERIFF AND TALK WITH THEM AND IT'S IT'S IT'S LOOK, I PUT IN AFTER A SCHOOL SHOOTING AT GREAT MEALS HIGH SCHOOL IN ST. MARY'S COUNTY. I PUSHED THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE ARMS, SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, AND EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL AND PROVIDED ALL THE FUNDING TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MY OPPONENT IS WITHDRAWING SCHOOL WE'LL SAFETY OUT OF PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY WHERE PEOPLE ARE BEING SHOT. >> IN MARCH, HE SAID YOU WERE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR REELECTION, ALTHOUGH YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE ALSO SAID YOU'RE NOT VOTING FOR TRUMP WHAT ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS? >> YES. MY POSITION IS REALLY THE SAME. I MEAN, QUITE FRANKLY, I HAVE SERIOUS POLICY DIFFERENCES AND OBVIOUSLY EAT MY CONCERNS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP ARE WELL-KNOWN AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAS EARNED MY VOTE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH OF AN IMPACT IN THE ELECTION BECAUSE TO CAMO HARRISON'S WINNING MARYLAND BY 32 POINTS AND IT'S NOT GOING TO IMPACT THOSE ELECTORAL VOTES IN MARYLAND. >> I'VE SAID YOU HAVE NOT SOUGHT DONALD TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT IN THE RACE WOULD YOU APPEAR WITH THEM IF HE CAME TO MARYLAND TO ACTUALLY REJECTED
