00:00Before we run out of time, President Trump has raised some incendiary questions about
00:04the Vice President's racial identity.
00:06He reposted an image of her birth certificate on Truth Social this week.
00:11After a lot of criticism for this comment, listen here.
00:16She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
00:21I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black
00:26and now she wants to be known as black.
00:28So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?
00:32Doesn't this kind of language alienate millions of black voters, including from your state?
00:37Yeah, you know, 30 percent of my state is African American.
00:43Nikki Haley is of Indian heritage and one of her children married an African American
00:49Clemson football player.
00:51So here's what I would say to President Trump.
00:53The problem I have with Kamala Harris is not her heritage, it's her judgment.
00:58She has been wrong about everything.
00:59When she tried to explain what she would do about inflation and an upcoming recession,
01:06it made no sense.
01:07It's gibberish.
01:08She's been in the Witness Protection Program.
01:10Nobody will ask her a hard question.
01:13Every day we're talking about her heritage and not her terrible, dangerous liberal record
01:19throughout her entire political life.
01:21It's a good day for her and a bad day for us.
01:24So I would encourage President Trump to prosecute the case against Kamala Harris' bad judgment.
01:30It doesn't seem that he's received that message yet.
01:32I mean, he had an introductory speaker last night sort of double down on this conversation.
01:37Would you advise that he just stop talking about that?
01:42I think, Mr. President, this is your election to lose.
01:45It's important you win to reset a broken border and get the world in good order.
01:49The American people are looking to have their problems solved.
01:52I think your presidency was an incredible presidency for national security and prosperity.
01:59As to Georgia, Georgia is there for the taking.
02:02I think Governor Kemp was a great governor, lowering taxes, less regulation.
02:07I think if you voted for Kemp and you want to vote for Harris, that makes no sense.
02:11I'm hoping that President Trump and Governor Kemp can repair the damage to win Georgia,
02:16a state if we win, we're going to go well on our way to winning 270 electoral votes.
02:22If we lose Georgia, it could be a very long night.
02:25So let's win this election.
02:26How about that?
02:27Let's win an election we can't afford to lose.
02:30Thank you, Senator Lindsey Graham.
02:31Very much appreciate your time this morning.
