KOSTA: With the election just a day away,
[3]
Trump is desperately trying to hold on to seniors,
[5]
independents and this glass of water.
[8]
But there's one group
[10]
that's clearly slipping through his fingers.
[12]
Suburban women, will you please like me?
[15]
-(cheering and applause) -Remember? Please.
[17]
Please.
[19]
I saved your damn neighborhood, okay?
[22]
KOSTA: Saved their damn neighborhood?
[24]
From what?
[25]
I sat down with three proud Trump supporters
[28]
to see what Trump is doing to protect white women.
[31]
I mean, the suburbs.
[33]
Sorry. "The suburbs"
[35]
are obviously not just code for "white."
[37]
White women love him. He's out there...
[39]
he's out there making our lives a little bit easier,
[42]
and what he's doing is protecting us.
[45]
What do the suburbs need to be protected from?
[48]
Violence. Rioters looting.
[51]
-Huh. -Socialism.
[53]
Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
[55]
I agree, same thing. They're afraid of, uh,
[58]
them coming from the cities up to the suburbs.
[60]
There's examples of it around the country
[62]
where gates are crashed through.
[64]
Okay, so, in your suburb,
[66]
how many rioters came up from the city?
[69]
Oh, none yet. We haven't had... In this town we haven't,
[72]
but it's happened in other parts of the country.
[75]
We've had very little here.
[76]
They stopped one of the parkways.
[79]
Very peaceful. There's no looting.
[81]
My... In our... In my... our suburbs,
[83]
we only had a, uh, peaceful protest,
[87]
but, um, you know, the belief is that...
[89]
-I believe all lives matter. -(stopwatch beeps)
[91]
Nice.
[93]
Just won a bet.
[95]
Anyways, if all the protests
[96]
in your neighborhood have been peaceful,
[98]
why are you still so concerned with rioting and looting?
[102]
Because I've seen what happened in New York City.
[105]
If you're living in an apartment on... near Times Square,
[108]
every night, there's protesting.
[111]
You might call it peaceful, but banging drums
[113]
at 11:00 at night is really not peaceful.
[116]
I thought you were gonna say people were getting stabbed
[118]
with knives, not late-night drumming,
[120]
but it can be inconvenient depending on the drums.
[123]
Just because it's not on my block
[125]
doesn't mean it doesn't affect me.
[127]
KOSTA: Andrea's right.
[128]
You should absolutely be afraid of rioters
[130]
even if every protest you've seen in your town
[133]
suggests the opposite.
[135]
And according to Trump,
[136]
if antifa doesn't destroy your suburb,
[138]
the Democrats will.
[141]
Democrats in Washington
[142]
are also pushing a plan to abolish the suburbs.
[145]
They want to build low-income housing.
[147]
They don't mind if low-income housing
[149]
is built in a beautiful suburb.
[151]
Biden wants affordable housing in the suburbs.
[154]
What would that do to, let's say, your neighborhood?
[157]
Andrea.
[158]
I wouldn't have a problem with it at all.
[161]
I already have it.
[163]
So, I have it a couple blocks up from me,
[166]
and I have a couple blocks down from me.
[167]
So that's not a fear.
[169]
Not a fear at all for me.
[171]
My town already has affordable housing,
[173]
and I'm all for affordable housing.
[175]
KOSTA: Got it. Their riots have been peaceful,
[178]
and the terrifying low-income housing isn't coming
[181]
because it's already there.
[183]
So, why is Trump still pushing these fears?
[186]
I don't think he's pushing fear. I think he's pushing knowledge.
[189]
Trump doesn't sell fear.
[191]
He sells knowledge
[194]
about what we should fear.
[196]
-You know... -No.
[198]
No, knowledge about how to run a country.
[200]
Got it. On a completely unrelated note,
[202]
when you voted for Trump previously,
[204]
what were some of the things that worried you?
[206]
I was afraid of Hillary Clinton getting in office.
[209]
I'm afraid of attacking Trump supporters
[211]
with things like the IRS.
[213]
The bathrooms.
[215]
The little girl bathrooms with boys in them.
[218]
They've taken Christopher Columbus Day away from me.
[221]
Calling it Independence Day.
[224]
It's Christopher Columbus. Okay?
[226]
That's what I'm afraid of.
[228]
Okay, well, according to you,
[230]
these are the things we should fear from Donald Trump.
[233]
Hillary Clinton.
[234]
For a president who's definitely not selling fear...
[238]
Socialism. Swedish teenagers.
[240]
...he's left his voters
[241]
with a big, beautiful list of non-fears.
[244]
-Immigrants. -Illegal immigrants.
[246]
-(overlapping chatter) -Mexicans. Russian hoax.
