[00:01:58] Donald Trump said, imagine that I am on [00:02:11] United States Senate, both of [00:03:11] if we win, no, do you know [00:03:19] paycheck, do you know [00:03:29] because we say that usually and 38 of [00:03:40] but if he puts himself on [00:04:26] as words, that's why I'm telling you, what [00:04:40] populism, but in [00:05:32] How are you, good evening, it's a pleasure to greet you, I'm Fernando del Rincón, [00:05:35] welcome, welcome to Conclusiones, thank you for joining me, [00:05:38] this, this as every night, of course, thank you for being here. [00:05:42] Today we are going to continue with [00:05:45] this Republican convention, strange Republican convention, why do I say [00:05:49] strange Republican convention, you saw that yesterday we were with [00:05:53] only part of the speech, moments of the speech of President [00:05:57] Donald Trump, I say strange or [00:06:00] rare as you want to call it, Republican convention, [00:06:03] because this is not customary, there is no [00:06:06] convention for mid-term [00:06:09] elections, now he is doing it. [00:06:12] Evidently he is doing it, Donald [00:06:15] Trump, because of the situation they are in, the numbers [00:06:19] that well, I'm not saying they [00:06:22] predict a Democratic victory, but [00:06:24] at least in the House of Representatives, the Democrats [00:06:28] have a great opportunity to take it, not in the Senate, it's more complicated, [00:06:32] but they could do it, it's [00:06:36] obvious, it's a measure, [00:06:40] some will say it's a measure to [00:06:43] reinforce the vote in favor of Republicans in [00:06:47] these mid-term elections on November 3rd, [00:06:50] now how much does it favor [00:06:54] Republicans the participation of President Donald [00:06:58] Trump when his approval is around 36 [00:07:02] 35%, does it really [00:07:05] favor him to imagine as he said yesterday, yesterday President [00:07:10] the ballot and well yes. [00:07:12] Logically it is that, at the end of the day the [00:07:16] vote and the mid-term [00:07:19] election is like [00:07:22] a referendum for President Donald Trump, because they are going [00:07:26] to punish him in the vote, they are going to punish the Republicans for Trump's [00:07:30] management, or they are going to reward them, or they are going to open the door to the [00:07:33] Democrats, so at the end of the day yes, Trump [00:07:36] said yesterday, imagine, don't imagine, he is on the ballot, that [00:07:40] is, all the actions of the... where President Donald Trump, all his [00:07:44] policies are impacting precisely the ballot that will [00:07:47] favor Republicans, [00:07:51] of course within so much propaganda [00:07:54] that President Donald Trump said yesterday, there are headlines, one of [00:07:58] them was in Mexico, precisely in [00:08:01] statements also this that Marco Rubio [00:08:04] made, but here in the United States, what [00:08:08] Donald Trump said yesterday that has caused a stir [00:08:11] and that is not for less. Some have minimized it, [00:08:15] but let's see, I understand it from another perspective, we should not [00:08:18] minimize it, President Donald Trump yesterday offered if [00:08:22] the Republicans won [00:08:25] $5, [00:08:27] for American adults, that is, he was going to give [00:08:30] $5, [00:08:33] to the people, $5, if the Republicans [00:08:37] won the mid-term elections, [00:08:39] I don't know how you [00:08:42] interpret it, but the interpretation I give it within [00:08:46] an electoral law in [00:08:49] other countries, speaking of Latin America, [00:08:53] one could well say that votes are being bought, no, it's a vote [00:08:57] buying, first of all, where was he going to get the [00:09:00] money, it's a lot of money, now I'll tell you the figure, etc., it's [00:09:04] a lot of money, yes, where is [00:09:07] that money going to come from, and if he has it, I asked [00:09:11] President Donald Trump today, "Hey, [00:09:15] this, the Congress has to approve this," and [00:09:18] Trump said, "Well, no, I don't think Congress has to [00:09:21] approve it, we think not," and you know, [00:09:24] then came this whole string of achievements and successes, because we have earned [00:09:28] too much money, because trillions of billions of [00:09:32] dollars have come in, with tariffs, [00:09:35] with foreign investment in the country, so we are doing so [00:09:39] well that I don't think it is necessary for Congress to [00:09:43] approve it, but the reality is that a populist act, empty [00:09:46] words, or seriously speaking, the issue of offering [00:09:50] $5,000 for the Republicans to win, well [00:09:53] it's this, it should be [00:09:56] illegal, it should be illegal, he is [00:10:00] buying votes, he is offering money in exchange for [00:10:02] votes, he didn't say it like that, no, he didn't say it like that, but we have [00:10:06] to understand them, that is, for the Republicans to win, if you earn your [00:10:10] $5, you have to make sure to help us, no, well at the end of [00:10:14] the day what is that, it's a vote buying, [00:10:17] literally, what surprise will President Donald Trump come up with today, I don't know, Vice President [00:10:21] JD Vance will also speak, we will be attentive, we will be entering and [00:10:25] leaving precisely this convention that is taking place there in [00:10:28] Dallas, while we also analyze the electoral map, yesterday I was talking [00:10:32] precisely [00:10:34] about this, the ruling that has already been confirmed, this ruling [00:10:38] precisely in Missouri [00:10:41] where they could not redesign the [00:10:45] electoral map, [00:10:48] so it remained as it was, remember that they did it in Texas, [00:10:51] California also did the same to counteract, but in Missouri [00:10:54] the... US Supreme Court [00:10:58] congressional map of Missouri, that was the [00:11:02] Republican one for the elections, so from there they could not gain an advantage, what they [00:11:05] are looking for with these redesigns of electoral [00:11:08] maps is to have a greater number [00:11:12] of seats in the legislature [00:11:15] to favor them and have a little more margin, but [00:11:19] well, in Missouri they already threw it back, in short, many things to talk [00:11:22] about and analyze regarding this [00:11:25] that happened yesterday with Trump, what will happen tonight [00:11:28] and that well, [00:11:32] points to this very important for Donald Trump, [00:11:35] very important mid-term election, which can [00:11:39] completely, completely change [00:11:42] his mandate in the last 2 years. Let's start then, if you [00:11:45] agree, we are attentive, let me know when President Donald [00:11:49] Trump comes in to speak at this convention, we have the live signal [00:11:52] monitoring, of course JD Vance also the vice president, [00:11:55] so we will be with that during this whole hour, let's [00:11:58] start. [00:12:04] I ask you that from this moment on and throughout this program you join me using [00:12:08] the hashtag #conclump, the numeral is #conclump, your comments with [00:12:11] this hashtag on my account on [00:12:14] X @soyfdelrincon @soyf [00:12:16] delrincon. [00:12:25] God bless the USA. [00:12:28] And here is my promise. If the Republicans win the [00:12:32] House of Representatives and the [00:12:36] them. I will issue a dividend to every adult [00:12:39] citizen in the United States of America for [00:12:43] $5,000. So if the Republicans [00:12:46] win, you win with us and you get [00:12:49] $5,000. It will be [00:12:52] called the Trump dividend. [00:12:59] That's what I was telling you at the beginning of the program, that was the moment, that [00:13:03] controversial figure, $5, that [00:13:06] President Trump offers to pay every American, [00:13:09] of course, only if the Republicans manage to [00:13:13] maintain legislative control in the November elections, is this a [00:13:17] promise or just empty words? I don't [00:13:20] know, I don't know, no, but Trump closed the inaugural [00:13:24] day of the Republican party convention, an event that is [00:13:27] held for the first time, as I told you, for the mid-term elections, this [00:13:31] convention which is completely [00:13:34] atypical, it had not been done before, [00:13:37] this is finally campaigning, we have to understand it that way, [00:13:40] they are campaigning for the mid-term elections, was there campaigning before, no, there wasn't [00:13:44] campaigning before, it's the first time, of course, in [00:13:48] the context for Trump it's necessary to do it, it's [00:13:51] necessary to do it, why, because the numbers are not adding up for [00:13:55] the Republicans, that's the reality, now the promise of [00:13:59] $5,000 has of course been [00:14:03] criticized by many, interpreted as I told you, practically a [00:14:06] vote buying, they have even criticized him within [00:14:10] his own ranks, others call it bribery, vote [00:14:14] buying, bribery, whatever you want to call it, this is [00:14:17] not the first offer of this type, no, we have to take [00:14:20] that into account, let's go to April 2025, [00:14:24] there Trump talked about... $5 checks financed with [00:14:27] cuts to government spending, months later [00:14:30] in November he promised another $2, for what he called a [00:14:34] tariff dividend, and in [00:14:37] December he proposed giving between $100 and $500 for savings [00:14:40] accounts for health expenses, [00:14:44] now what happened with all that, well all [00:14:47] those amounts remained [00:14:51] he said yesterday, is it serious or are they just empty words? I mean, [00:14:55] given all this background I'm telling you, they could be empty [00:14:58] words, no [00:14:59] populism, [00:15:05] reality, you see, it happens, no, he says it, but [00:15:08] it happens, many are going to be waiting for it to [00:15:12] arrive, no, even if it's just to one [00:15:15] of so many, if it arrives, no, if he [00:15:19] wins, there's a long way to go to see if the words will just remain [00:15:23] there, as he [00:15:25] Trump, imagine that I'm on the ballot, because no, he's not on the November [00:15:29] ballot, no. Now, what do we see? Well, [00:15:33] a desperate act, [00:15:36] he desperately needs voters to act [00:15:39] as if he were on the ballot, yes, he's [00:15:43] calling his base to support [00:15:46] him in this mid-term election, as if [00:15:50] he were the one taking the risk, which in the end he is taking the risk [00:15:54] because this will completely impact his [00:15:57] mandate. [00:15:59] Now, how feasible is it for this type of [00:16:04] effect at a time when Trump [00:16:07] has a very low approval rating? [00:16:11] Yes, in many states, Trump [00:16:15] barely, barely exceeds 30%, [00:16:18] depending on the polls you see, Trump would be [00:16:21] between 30 and 36%, I repeat, [00:16:25] depending on the poll you see, it ranges between 30 and [00:16:28] 36% approval, not [00:16:30] 36% [00:16:33] and I tell you, in many states he barely exceeds 30%, that is, it is not [00:16:36] at all the best moment for Donald Trump and even more [00:16:40] the situation is complicated by the war with [00:16:43] Iran, first because he promised that he would not get us into a war, he got us into a [00:16:47] war, but the consequence of that [00:16:49] war is that it has driven up the price of [00:16:51] gasoline, there it is, [00:16:55] that plus the economy, [00:16:58] generate enormous pressure and there is also an enormous social [00:17:02] unrest, oil due to this war, due to the Strait of [00:17:06] Hormuz, due to everything you already know, reached $100 per [00:17:09] barrel, it even passed $100 per barrel, [00:17:13] meanwhile the president tries to convince voters that the economy [00:17:17] is under control, but it is not [00:17:19] so, the impact on their pockets says otherwise, [00:17:22] everyone, Republicans talk about tax cuts [00:17:26] and more money for families, but Trump says that prices will [00:17:29] go down when the United States wins the [00:17:32] war, when it wins the war, no, he [00:17:36] hasn't said so many times that... this war has already been won, when will it be won then, it [00:17:39] was won, it hasn't been won, it will be won, [00:17:43] because when it wins the war, when does the United [00:17:45] States win the war, because according to Trump, it has already [00:17:48] been won, he has said it [00:17:50] many times, that on the one [00:17:54] hand, yes, the issue of [00:17:57] war, the issue of immigration, the [00:18:01] issue of the cost of living, the issue of [00:18:04] fuel, Trump also said. [00:18:08] The price of gasoline will go down, yes, after the mid-term [00:18:12] elections. [00:18:15] Why will the price of gasoline go down after the mid-term elections? He doesn't explain [00:18:18] it, no, but he always tries to put the mid-term [00:18:22] elections in the middle of such sensitive [00:18:26] issues, imagine when, imagine, [00:18:29] put yourself in this scenario, you are [00:18:32] a father, you are a family of four, your [00:18:36] wife and two children. And you live [00:18:40] paycheck to paycheck, you can't afford more, and they [00:18:44] say: I'm going to give you $5, [00:18:49] what $500 represents for a family of four people who [00:18:52] lives day to day barely with the what [00:18:56] it represents? [00:18:59] I don't know, bribery, yes, it could be bribery or buying [00:19:03] the vote, but believe me, at this moment [00:19:06] for many families. it makes a huge [00:19:08] difference. [00:19:10] Now, in the electoral arena there are other key data, [00:19:13] no, two key states, Maine and [00:19:16] Michigan, in both, in both [00:19:20] Maine and Michigan, the Senate races are practically tied [00:19:23] for the Senate, attention, I already told you, the House of Representatives [00:19:27] has much more chance for the Democrats to take it, the Senate [00:19:31] was more complicated for them, it was more closed, well [00:19:34] now in key states this: [00:19:37] they are practically tied, I'm talking about Maine and Michigan in this case, [00:19:41] but close to two out of every three voters are [00:19:45] disapproving of Trump's work, yes, [00:19:48] in Maine only 31% approve of his [00:19:51] management compared to 67% who disapprove, and in [00:19:55] Michigan 34% approve and 65% disapprove, [00:19:59] and the problem for Republicans doesn't end [00:20:02] there, as I also told you at the beginning of the program, the Supreme Court rejected today [00:20:06] this district map, this redesign of the [00:20:09] electoral district map of Missouri that looked [00:20:12] favorable for Republicans, because it could have given them an [00:20:16] additional seat, which is what the redesign of these maps seeks, [00:20:20] these district maps for the election, [00:20:23] well, it gives them a chance to have one more seat [00:20:27] here, another one there, etc., but well, [00:20:29] that already happened in Missouri, in the [00:20:32] decision, the state will programmatically have to return [00:20:36] to the previous map. It has to return to the previous map that contemplated [00:20:40] six competitive districts for Republicans instead of seven, the [00:20:43] case matters a lot, because right now one seat is [00:20:46] fundamental, yes, it is [00:20:50] part of Trump's effort to take advantage of that redistribution of [00:20:54] districts in different states, but [00:20:57] there is also a race against time, because from now until, let's see, from now [00:21:00] until November, less than two [00:21:03] months, will he have time to fix anything that is [00:21:07] wrong, in the war, [00:21:10] in the cost of [00:21:12] living, in the price of [00:21:15] fuel, [00:21:18] in immigration I won't even tell you anything. [00:21:20] Because the impact has already occurred and it's a job that [00:21:24] won't change or a policy that won't change [00:21:27] now, in the case, I told you yesterday, [00:21:30] TPS for Salvadorans expired, well now [00:21:33] they are still protected by TPS while a decision is made, but [00:21:36] they are still protected, but well, how much influence can that [00:21:39] have? [00:21:43] Will two months be enough to turn the scenario around [00:21:46] depending on these factors that voters mention are most [00:21:50] important to them? [00:21:54] How much more is at stake in these midterm elections? The [00:21:57] answer is very easy, it's [00:22:00] Trump's freedom to govern as he [00:22:03] pleases, because if they take away the legislature, if [00:22:07] they take away the legislature he won't be able to do much in the next two years [00:22:10] and who knows, who knows, if they [00:22:14] can do much to him. [00:22:17] Anyway, we'll be talking about all this, we'll be doing... crisis with my guests tonight, at [00:22:21] the same time we'll be taking parts of the speech of [00:22:24] JD Vance and Donald Trump and based on that we'll [00:22:28] be developing if you agree, so I'm going to welcome [00:22:31] or introduce my guests and then I'll go to the break, I'm going to introduce my guests and then [00:22:35] I'll come back fully with them so we can talk, Rocío Vélez will be [00:22:38] with me, she's a Republican strategist, she's [00:22:42] on screen and José Aris Timuño who was with me yesterday, former [00:22:46] press undersecretary of the Democratic party, both ready, I'll be back. [00:22:50] to formally welcome them, but we'll start with them when we return. [00:23:05] And I know it's difficult, but how do we reach a [00:23:07] balance, in which we don't lose sight of [00:23:11] this that we had all over the place when we started [00:23:15] preparing this talk, which is the objective, a common [00:23:19] good that benefits all of us, not just a [00:23:22] few, it should not be a business, [00:23:25] because as a business, well, other things can be invented, [00:23:29] but something so delicate and with so much technological advancement as artificial [00:23:32] intelligence must have [00:23:36] a basic condition that is that it serves a [00:23:40] majority of [00:23:41] humans. [00:23:59] To understand the world you need to seek the [00:24:02] truth, to return to the era when we had to be much [00:24:06] more human, that's why we follow the facts [00:24:09] wherever they take us, no matter how far we have to [00:24:13] go, from the internal story, there are new [00:24:16] statements from President Donald Trump, I'll give an external [00:24:20] perspective, we delve into the data, ready for whatever [00:24:23] comes, the concern is for the ordinary Cuban, [00:24:26] we face the world. [00:24:29] Who will finance Maduro's defense? [00:24:33] Find joy in new perspectives and new [00:24:36] horizons. Every day, no matter [00:24:40] where life takes you. We follow what matters [00:24:43] to you. We forge a path towards [00:24:47] truth and understanding of the world. [00:25:08] Here at CNN, the news comes [00:25:10] first, [00:25:14] I'm going with Yone Molinares to the Capitol, they have already prepared the funds for the [00:25:18] Department of Homeland Security. When there's a lot at stake, we eliminate [00:25:22] the noise to inform you clearly about the issues and [00:25:25] policies that impact you, from the decisions made in [00:25:28] Washington, to their repercussions throughout the United [00:25:32] States, Latin America and the world. At what point are [00:25:35] relations with the United States? Relations between the United States [00:25:39] and Cuba have always been abnormal. Direct [00:25:42] USA, is that window through which you can enter the United [00:25:45] States and see what is happening in this [00:25:48] country. We continue. The story from all angles [00:25:52] to bring you directly the facts, pro-immigrant [00:25:55] groups filed a [00:25:58] lawsuit from our studios in [00:26:00] Washington. [00:26:02] Join me on Direct USA from Monday to Friday on CNN. [00:26:22] That's the atmosphere, you know they're like parties, these [00:26:25] conventions there's a lot of show, [00:26:29] music, this. [00:26:33] fans to fans yesterday there was a large group of women there in the front [00:26:37] row of the fans of Donald [00:26:40] Trump's base, in fact Donald Trump mentioned them, he said these women [00:26:43] have been in I don't know how many [00:26:47] they had been in a lot of conventions, they follow him [00:26:51] around the country etc. So [00:26:53] well that's the atmosphere that [00:26:57] is lived and the atmosphere that is lived here well we are going to discover it with my [00:27:01] guests, welcome Rocío Vélez, Republican [00:27:04] strategist, to José Aristimuño, former press [00:27:07] undersecretary of the Democratic party. Rocío, welcome, thank [00:27:11] you José for being here again, thank you, [00:27:13] pleasure, [00:27:17] a pleasure, listen, I'm going to start with Rocío, I'm going with the controversy of [00:27:21] the $5, a reading, [00:27:24] different readings, Rocío, this, bribery, [00:27:28] vote buying or just another occurrence from Donald Trump, but [00:27:32] I think that in any case it's very bad, right? Or how [00:27:36] can we justify that, how do you interpret it, what do [00:27:39] you say about this [00:27:42] oferta? [00:27:44] Look, I think it's a problem that the Republican [00:27:48] party is facing on top of it, [00:27:50] because what is called the get out the vote, right, [00:27:54] getting people to vote, is a [00:27:57] situation for in terms of a [00:28:01] mid-term election. So in the middle of that [00:28:05] we have the owner of the Apprentice, right, a Donald Trump who [00:28:08] usually and he has done it through and you said it earlier in [00:28:12] the program they had made several offers, both [00:28:15] $1,500 and $500 previously last [00:28:18] year and in all this I don't disagree [00:28:21] with doing it, it's a populist measure but a [00:28:25] dividend is a dividend from taxpayers, if they do it on the [00:28:29] basis of what is called a tax refund, right, all of us who have [00:28:32] paid contributive payroll and in some way it's [00:28:36] a return, right, a certain amount is returned to me, there's [00:28:40] no problem, however, he launches it in a very [00:28:43] very very cunning [00:28:47] way where he says: we are going to give $5 to [00:28:50] everyone, meaning it is not specified, to pass that measure, it still has [00:28:54] to go through Congress, it could do so if he really [00:28:58] receives the trillions of dollars eh that he claims [00:29:01] to have received. But the problem that the Republican party has is [00:29:04] that eh catching [00:29:08] these the independent part who were the voters who [00:29:11] gave him victory in 2024 a Donald Trump [00:29:15] is going to be much more difficult and the Republican party knows that, Donald [00:29:18] Trump knows that, eh that's why he puts himself out there and says "I'm on the [00:29:22] ballot, so pretend I'm there on the ballot [00:29:26] and go out and vote for me." So it's a little ironic [00:29:31] the past 40 eh congressional ones, usually the incumbent [00:29:35] party gets the protest vote, so I don't [00:29:39] think that will make a difference, [00:29:43] the on the ballot then I find it even more ironic because he [00:29:46] has a low approval rating, what happens is that the Democratic [00:29:49] party is also giving us gifts because we have this situation [00:29:53] of socialism from the different people [00:29:56] and personalities that are in the in the [00:29:59] congressional races and I think it will be something very [00:30:02] interesting to see in the next two months, [00:30:05] ah Rocio, what [00:30:09] well now we will delve deeper because that's what I [00:30:11] was going to tell you, if you see it, [00:30:15] I'm going to continue with Rocio because this topic interests [00:30:18] me, you were saying, eh, [00:30:21] if they give us back, for example, $5 in [00:30:25] taxes, eh then [00:30:28] it's valid, but I insist that [00:30:32] why should they give us back $5 for [00:30:35] voting for Republicans? That's illegal, it's vote buying, [00:30:38] here you're not inviting people to vote, you're [00:30:42] conditioning them, I'm going to give you money if I [00:30:45] win, in any legislation and [00:30:49] and I think if we review American law, vote buying is [00:30:52] illegal, that the argument tries to be [00:30:56] something eh light, humorous.
