Transcript 0:00 A new CNN film documents 18 months inside the 2024 election from the perspective of one of the Democratic Party's most legendary strategists, James Carville. Here's a preview. There's nothing that says more of the same more than Joe Biden versus Donald Trump. And James believes that, you know, change wins. He reeks of yesterday. Of yesterday. 0:22 Yes he is. 0:23 So yesterday, if I think of yesterday, 0:24 if I think of an old calendar, 0:26 I think of George Bush's face. 0:27 Someone tell you that America. 0:31 One of the things I think in 92, 0:33 I think in 2024, who wins really matters. 0:38 Very stark right now. 0:40 We got this horrible threat of Trump 0:44 coming back into office. 0:47 We're in unchartered territory right here. A lot of people are confounded by how close the race is. Given President Biden's record and given what we know 1:02 about Donald Trump. He admires Biden a lot and thinks he's been a very good president. But it's hard to make the case that Joe Biden can win an easy reelection, because he can't kill the show in the control room. Are you able to hear me? I hear you fine. You got the path to victory is his religion. 1:23 That's what he cares about. 1:25 How do you get from here to there? 1:27 And there has to be winning. 1:29 Joining us now, 1:30 the raging Cajun himself, James Carville. 1:32 James, good to see you. 1:34 we'll talk about the film in a moment. 1:35 Looks fascinating. 1:37 I do want to ask you, though. 1:38 Let's jump in 1:38 and talk about the news a little bit, 1:39 because Donald Trump, 1:41 is talking about, how, 1:43 you know, 1:43 how he wants to handle 1:44 those Haitian migrants 1:45 in Springfield, Ohio. let's listen to this talk about on the other side. We have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country. They they are, in my opinion, it's not legal. So you would revoke the temporary protected? Absolutely. 2:00 I'd revoke it and I'd bring them back to their country. What if they want them? They. They're not. Well, they're going to receive them. They'll receive. If I bring them back, they're going to receive them. Yeah. James. I mean, I know you've seen a lot in politics over the years. I don't think you has or any really anybody else 2:17 really, for that matter, 2:18 have encountered 2:19 a politician 2:19 talking about people eating cats of dogs, 2:23 as Donald Trump 2:23 was talking about in Springfield, Ohio. 2:25 But, I mean, to put that sort of, 2:28 to the side for a moment, 2:29 this prospect of Trump saying he's 2:31 going to just mass deport 2:32 all of the Haitian migrants 2:34 in Springfield, 2:35 what did you make of that? 2:38 Well, first of all, 2:39 the people of Ohio, of Springfield, 2:41 according to the governor and the mayor, are quite happy that, this has been a boon to that, the economy of that town. And, you know, when you start talking about deporting people, how are you going to deport them? I mean, they have certain rights. I mean, I understand that they here legally, 3:00 and they have a lot 3:02 to return to contribute. 3:04 But, you know, the cats and dogs thing, 3:08 of course, have been 3:10 debunked and shown to be not true. 3:13 But since when does he care 3:14 about telling the truth? Yeah. 3:15 If Haitians are the perfect 3:18 target for him. 3:19 they're kind of black, 3:22 and they come from 3:22 an impoverished nation. 3:24 They actually speak, 3:25 some version of French. 3:28 They're just a perfect target for him. 3:31 And he doesn't look at any of as human beings, which I think it seems like, their fellow citizens in Springfield, do look at the human beings as they, well, should, yeah. I mean, we've done lots of segments on Springfield, and, I mean, just about everybody we've spoken with has said, you know, that they've been welcomed with open arms in that community and that they've, they've had a positive impact on that community. But, you know, I do want to talk about there's a lot of stuff to talk about, James. I mean, what do you make of Kamala Harris being out on the campaign trail today with Liz Cheney? 4:02 Did you ever think you would see a day 4:03 where where a Cheney would be out 4:05 on the campaign trail 4:07 on behalf of a Democratic candidate? 4:10 The short answer is no. 4:13 And I 4:13 tell people, coalition right now 4:14 goes from from Dick Cheney to AOC. 4:17 So there's a lot of ground for you 4:19 in the middle there, people, 4:20 I promise you. 4:21 look, I think it's important I, 4:24 I hope more people sit on the sidelines. 4:27 Republican types, you see Trump, 4:29 you know, glorifying January 6th. 4:32 We see Trump demeaning the military. We know that's a fact. I'm looking I hope more people come out and say Sharpton and the nine over 11 truth is, how can you sit there and go sit down? 11 years my wife did was in a basement of the white House and say, well, that was all an inside job. I mean, it's just it's it's so insane you can't even know where to fit in. This war room was riding around on an airplane with it. 5:00 Yeah. It's weird. It's weird. 5:01 Jim, it's really weird. 5:02 You know, it is. 5:03 I mean, 5:04 and that that leads me to this question. 5:05 James, how is this election so close? 5:08 I mean, 5:08 we had 5:09 this new, filing from Jack 5:11 Smith yesterday that lays out, 5:13 you know, Donald Trump saying, 5:14 so what, that Vice 5:15 President Mike pence at that time, 5:17 that his life was in danger. 5:18 I mean, you know, the stuff 5:19 about the cats and dogs and Springer, 5:21 I mean, you name it, every day 5:22 there's a new sort of headline 5:24 filled with outrage over 5:26 what former President Trump is saying. 5:27 And how is it so close 5:29 and and what's your gut 5:31 on what's going to happen? 5:33 Well, it's the polling, 5:35 which is I don't have a 5:36 I like poll when I read them. 5:38 I think they're trying to get it right. The polling says it's pretty close. I'm not convinced it's going to be close. When we start counting the votes. And you know what happens, Jim, if there's seven swing states and I can't emphasize this enough, the most unlikely scenario is it breaks for three. Usually these elections break in tandem. And I think it's much more likely that those seven swing states 6:01 break 5 to 6 one. 6:03 so let's wait. 6:06 And she does have a it's a modestly 6:09 I agree 6:10 it's to to close for real conflict. 6:13 But she was 6:14 we the Democrats are not in the lead 6:16 in July mid-July. 6:18 We're in the lead now by a little bit. 6:22 But I think her 6:23 the possibility 6:24 that she can build on that 6:25 or not to be diminished. 6:28 All right. 6:28 Let's talk about the documentary. 6:30 and you know, this this covers 6:34 a lot of ground, especially the 2024 race. And, James, you and I talked about this several times, how you thought Joe Biden was not the candidate, to to win this time around. Why do you think everybody was seeking you out? are you the the Oracle of Louisiana? What's the deal? I don't know, Jim. The truth is that I had a platform. I really thought that 7:00 I really, really dug deep into the polls. 7:03 I talked to a lot of people, 7:04 and I came to a conclusion, 7:06 and I was comfortable at that conclusion. 7:08 And I didn't think that that Biden 7:10 should reconsider his candidacy. 7:12 And at the end of the day, 7:14 for the good of the country and himself 7:16 and everything else he did do that. 7:19 But, you know, 7:20 I'm going to be 80 7:21 this month, and I have some familiarity 7:23 with the ravages of old age, 7:25 and I don't think it 7:26 compatible with the obligations 7:28 at the Oval Office. Yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with the ravages of middle age, for that matter. But, you know, but James, you took a lot of shots, though, from inside your, your party, the party that you love, the party that you helped put over the top, in 92, in 96. But you stuck to your guns. Well, I was pretty comfortable, you know, honestly, and I didn't take any shot that I didn't fully anticipate. I mean, I've been around long enough to know 8:00 when I started saying this, 8:02 that people were going to be 8:03 put out with me, and I understand that. 8:06 And, you know, it's just a question of 8:09 anybody. No one. 8:10 No me. No. 8:11 I gave this long, hard thought. 8:14 But once I pulled the switch, 8:16 I mean, I pulled the switches. 8:18 You can't, but I don't know what. 8:19 But I don't want to go. Bell. 8:21 Yeah. 8:21 And, you know, I mean, some of the stuff 8:24 they would said out and it's bad. 8:26 What I didn't know 8:27 was heard of this guy since, 8:28 you know, the 90s and that kind of stuff. 8:30 And that was 8:32 if anything, 8:33 it was about exactly what I expected. 8:36 All right. 8:37 James, well, you know, another big part of that special is your, 30 plus year marriage to Republican strategist Mary Matalin. I know, I just think she's the best. And every time I've had a chance to, talk to her, I just think the world of her and both of you. So. Hey, thank you so much. Good luck with the documentary, James. We really appreciate you, as always. I'm. I'm a fishing man. I have a great wine, so. Yes, sir. And I'm so glad that you agreed to participate in this. 9:01 This is great. Thank you. Yes, that is always a good thing. Best of luck to James. Thanks a lot.
