Should be fun to be back together 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: on Monday. As I mentioned yesterday, I was expecting to 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: be getting ready to be in the air to Israel, 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: but our flights were canceled to Israel. So we are 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: going to reschedule that trip, and we promise that we 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: will bring you a on the ground report from Israel 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: at some point in the months ahead. Well, we got 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: a lot to talk with you here on this Friday. 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: Four point three percent unemployment number that came out this morning. 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: That's the highest since October of twenty twenty one, three 13 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: years and change into the Biden administration, other than the 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: sugar high of Blue States in day, their restrictions over COVID. 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: Basically everything that Biden administration has touched has turned to garbage. 16 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: We will discuss. There's another boxer out there this morning 17 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: with X Y chromosomes. That is how we define men 18 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: beating the crap out of a woman at the Olympics. 19 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: I can't believe this is real life, but you heard 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump on with us yesterday condemning that fact, Kamala Harris, 21 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, every Democrat out there continues to remain silent 22 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: on this issue, and everyone out there that is trying 23 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: to defend it is effectively saying, hey, well it's actually 24 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: a woman. Yeah, good luck with that. We'll discuss more 25 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: about what is actually weird, and that is many left 26 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: wing policies right now, but I want to start with 27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: what is becoming quite clear. Kamala Harris's strategy is a 28 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: replication of the twenty twenty Joe Biden's strategy, which is 29 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna hide her. We're not going to allow her 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: to talk to anyone, We're gonna put her on a teleprompter, 31 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: We're only going to allow her to interact with friendly individuals. 32 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: This is becoming now a scandal as we come up 33 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: on two weeks since she has become the Democrat nominee. 34 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Remember she never ever has received a single vote for president. 35 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: With her being on the ballot for president and still 36 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: being in the race, I think like one hundred of 37 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: you might have voted for her in Iowa in twenty 38 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: twenty because her name was still on the ballot, because 39 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: she didn't withdraw in time for her name to be 40 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: off the ballot. But none of you have ever in 41 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: your lives been able to vote for Kamala Harris to 42 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: be president of the United States. The entire purpose of 43 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: the primary season is to test our candidates, allow them 44 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: to interact with voters in Iowa, in New Hampshire, in 45 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: South Carolina, in many other early primary states, and allow 46 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: them to demonstrate to all of us why they are 47 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: the best potential representative, whether you love or hate Donald Trump. 48 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: He had very serious challengers, Ron DeSantis, Nicky Haley, among others. 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: He beat them all. He went out on the road 50 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: to Iowa, he went out on the road to New Hampshire. 51 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: He won every primary, I think, except for Vermont, where 52 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of Democrats decided to flip over, in maybe DC, 53 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: where a bunch of Democrats decided to flip over because 54 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: they hate Trump so much. Trump is tested. Trump is 55 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: on the road all the time doing interviews, as we saw, 56 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: sometimes to his detriment. I would argue with the Nationalists 57 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: Association of Black Journalists. He came on yesterday on this 58 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: program unscheduled interview because he wanted to react to men 59 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: beating up women in the Olympics and the fact that 60 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: that is now Democrat Party orthodoxy. If you missed it, 61 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: you can go listen to Donald Trump on this program 62 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: in the third hour. Media all over the country picked 63 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: up that interview. I'll run through some of that with 64 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: you later in the program, demonstrating how many people out 65 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: there paying attention to what we say on a day 66 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: to day basis on this program. But the problem with 67 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: Kamala is she's got so many weaknesses. The Democrats are 68 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: aware of that, and those weaknesses get illuminated every time 69 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: she actually talks to anyone saying anything other than what's 70 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: on the teleprompter. And this is what happened last night 71 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: when she decided to step off the teleprompter and not 72 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: read a statement for the first time in twelve days. 73 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: This was the word salad that she delivered. She is 74 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: right now the Democrat nominee. Nobody's asking her questions. She's 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: not interacting with any voters. She's never received a single vote, 76 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and this is why they are trying to hide her 77 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: like they hid Biden in twenty twenty. 78 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: Listen, this is just an extraordinary testament to the importance 79 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: of having the president who understands the power of diplomacy. 80 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: And understands the strength that rests in understanding the. 81 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: Significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances. 82 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: This is an incredible day. 83 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: Okay. I'm glad that the prisoners are back, although I think, 84 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: as Trump talked about with us yesterday, we have consistently 85 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: given up way more than we've gotten back. And if 86 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: you go back to Brittany Griner being traded for the 87 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: Merchant of Death, that gave I think reason for Vladimir 88 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: Putin to take Evan Gersovich and others prisoner because he 89 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: knows that he's going to get back better. We gave 90 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: a trained assassin to Russia and we got back a 91 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reporter just being fair, do you think 92 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: that trained assassin may go kill somebody else? I think 93 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: that's probably a pretty good chance. Do you think the 94 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: guy who's the Merchant of Death, one of the greatest 95 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: arms dealers ever, might have an impact? Given that Russia's 96 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: actually at war with Ukraine, we're incentivizing, and I'll talk 97 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: about this later, more of our citizens to be taken hostage. 98 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: By giving such generous transfers of prisoners with the Russians 99 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: and other foreign adversaries, there will be soon I would 100 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: predict to all of you more innocent Americans taken hostage 101 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: because Vladimir Putin has run recognize that he can play 102 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden like a fiddle, and I think he probably 103 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: is also a little bit afraid of what will happen 104 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: if Trump were to win this election, because despite all 105 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: the Russia Russia collusion arguments, Trump has actually been way 106 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: harder on Putin than Joe Biden has. In fact, I 107 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: was talking with a friend who is married to a 108 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Russian woman. We were out to dinner recently, and she 109 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: was saying she just got back from Russia. She was 110 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: saying that everyone she talked to in Russia. This was 111 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: before Biden dropped out, we're all hoping that Biden would 112 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: win because all of the Russians see him as much 113 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: weaker than Trump. And that makes logical sense, right. The 114 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: Russians aren't stupid. Vladimir Putin isn't an imbecile. He recognized 115 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: that Biden is weak. They wanted Biden to win again 116 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: because they thought that would further in Bolden Russia. Kamala 117 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Harris is similarly weak. But what they are doing is 118 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: they are going to try to hide her. They did 119 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden, and they were able to use COVID 120 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: as the excuse. Right now, think about this. You heard 121 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: the media get off their butts after June twenty seventh, 122 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: the debate where Donald Trump knocked out Joe Biden, and 123 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: you heard all of the media saying, Oh, we need 124 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: to hear a press conference. Oh, it's supremely important right 125 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: now that we get interviews with Joe Biden. That was 126 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: because they were recognizing that Trump was going to beat 127 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Biden and they knew they needed to force him out 128 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: of the race. That's why the media got so active. 129 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: But think about this for a moment. Have you heard 130 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: any of those same demands about Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris 131 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: hasn't done anything and her odds, frankly, I'm looking at 132 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: him right now of winning the presidency have moved close 133 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: to fifty to fifty. Trump is now a small favorite 134 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: to be elected president. In twenty twenty four, he was 135 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: a big favorite over Joe Biden. Trump hasn't changed anything really. 136 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: In fact, if you want to criticize the Trump campaign, 137 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: it's that it's been caught flat footed in responding with 138 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: Kamala over the last twelve days or so and allowed 139 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: her to a large extent escape scrutiny and not even 140 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: have to deal with the fact that while they're doing 141 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: interviews all over the country with both friendly and supremely 142 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: antagonistic media, Kamala is not doing anything. She's in the 143 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: process of picking her vice president. We're now about ninety 144 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: days away from the election, and think about how crazy 145 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: this is. We're about thirty days away from when some 146 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: of you are going to be able to return your ballots. 147 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest with a lot of you. 148 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: You know that I have been super optimistic about Donald 149 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Trump winning in twenty twenty four. These are challenging times 150 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. This is why I believed they 151 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: would switch from Biden. They knew Biden couldn't win. The 152 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: overarching story you see him wandering around aimlessly last night 153 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: at the airport. The overarching story of the twenty twenty 154 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: four campaign when it was Biden versus Trump, was that 155 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: Biden didn't have the mental or physical faculties to be president. 156 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: Now what they're trying to do with Kamala is rerun 157 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty campaign by making Trump the story, even 158 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: though it's the Biden Harris administration, even though Kamala has 159 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: been in power for four years. Make it a referendum 160 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: on Trump and just try to stay out of the way. 161 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: That's what Biden did, and it was enough to barely 162 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: get him across the finish line because he was assisted 163 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: by COVID. Is Kamala going to be allowed to hide 164 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: like Biden was in twenty twenty and is that going 165 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: to be enough to get her dragged across the finish line. 166 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm starting to think it might be. But be honest 167 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: with y'all, look at what happened with John Fetterman. He 168 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: couldn't speak and he got elected by five points in Pennsylvania. 169 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: They have right now a better get out the vote 170 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: system in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. If Kamala Harris wins 171 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: all three of those states, she will be the president 172 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: of the United States. It's time to get serious. It's 173 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: time to buckle down. There's been a lot of flailing. 174 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: There hasn't been very many direct attacks that have landed 175 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: significantly on Kamala Again. I think a big reason why 176 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: that is is because she has so much incredible vulnerabilities 177 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: that it's hard to decide which issue to hit her on. 178 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: I would submit that ultimately, the story of the election 179 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: has not changed. This is about the border, this is 180 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: about the failure of the economy. Trump should almost exclusively 181 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: be talking about both of them. Those issues. It's the 182 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: border stupid, it's the economy stupid. Hit them almost exclusively. 183 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: You can also go with the defund the police, the crime. 184 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: You need to settle on about three issues and only 185 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: talk about those three issues. You've got to be disciplined. 186 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: The Trump campaign so far had been very disciplined. I 187 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: think it's come off a bit of the rails of 188 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: late Kamala is a very very bad candidate, but so 189 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: was John Fetterman. They are going to hider. They're running 190 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: a replay of twenty twenty. They hand selected Joe Biden, 191 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: now they've hand selected Kamala. We know what their strategy is. 192 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: The last two weeks, it's been working. Is there a 193 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: CounterPunch coming, Let's talk about that and what it should 194 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: look like. In the meantime. The world can be an 195 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: uncertain place at times. There are things you can and 196 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: cannot control. At home, though, you can build peace of 197 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: mind by building financancial security for your family. It's harder 198 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: than ever to do that with the rising costs of 199 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: so many households. But every little bit of progress you 200 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: can make in this regard goes a long way. Start 201 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: by learning more about gold and silver, which is one 202 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: solid way to protect the value of the dollars you're 203 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: able to save. Gold and silver are an excellent way 204 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: to diversify your savings. They're a hedge against inflation. They're 205 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: a physical asset and high demand globally from central banks 206 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: of foreign countries and through our friends at Birch Gold Group, 207 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: you can own physical gold and silver in a tax 208 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: sheltered retirement account. As an easy example, you can diversify 209 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: an old IRA or four to oh one k for 210 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: no money out of pocket into an IRA in gold 211 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: and silver.

You guys 221 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: know that I love following the gambling markets in politics 222 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: more than I like following the polls. And right now 223 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: Trump has if you wanted to gamble, Trump has a 224 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: fifty four percent chance. According to Polymarket, which is the 225 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: biggest sports, sports and politics gambling market out there, almost 226 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars has been bet on who is 227 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: going to win the twenty twenty four election. Trump has 228 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: a fifty four percent chance to win. Kamala Harris has 229 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: a forty four percent chance to win. That is this 230 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: moment exactly as you look. So Trump is less than 231 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown favorite basically if you were thinking about this 232 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: in a sports market, and he was just a few 233 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: weeks ago around a three touchdown favorite. So Kamala Harris 234 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: has cut this thing in the space of twelve days 235 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: with a massive influx of media help from a Trump 236 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: huge favorite election to a really basically toss up a 237 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: coin flip in many senses of the word. And that 238 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: should have everybody a little bit of freight. I'm gonna 239 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: be honest with you because Kamala Harris is right now 240 00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: a far more formidable foe than Joe Biden. Now. I 241 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: think that's partly because I don't think the Trump team 242 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: has pivoted perfectly in addressing her. I think they've been 243 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: scattershot in their attacks. They have not been precise, they 244 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: have not been directed and targeted in the same way 245 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: that they should have been. To me, this is not 246 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: a supremely difficult person to go after. She's the least 247 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: popular vice president in the history of our country, serving 248 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: under the least popular president in the history of our country. 249 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: Everything that Joe Biden did she's partly responsible for, because 250 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: it's the Biden Harris regime. But there's too much of 251 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: a scattershot attack on her right now, and I think 252 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: to a large extent, that's because she has so many vulnerabilities. 253 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is a uniquely awful candidate. Nobody has ever 254 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: voted for her. Democrats rejected her when she ran in 255 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. She doesn't have a staff that likes her. 256 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: She has, to a large extent, a creation of a 257 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: one party state in California. But you have to decide 258 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: what are her vulnerabilities, and you have to deliver on them. 259 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: Time after time after time, and I think focusing on 260 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: her race, which has now turned into a part of 261 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: this conversation, is not a winning strategy. She has failed 262 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: at the border. Why were they so concerned, I'm going 263 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: to talk about this when we come back. Why were 264 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: they so concerned with the use of the phrase borders 265 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: are that The first thing they put out was that 266 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: it was inappropriate to call her the borders are because 267 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: they know how vulnerable she is there. Don't mess up. 268 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you exactly how you attack her 269 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: when you come back, and why I think it's not 270 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: being delivered well. One ceo getting a level of attention 271 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: for making a bold statement earlier this year, going on 272 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: record with a salary reduction to just a dollar a year. 273 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: That's Porter Stansbery. He's chosen a different form of compensation, 274 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: a newer form of currency. He's the CEO of a 275 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,239 Speaker 1: financial research team and a smart economist. He's sharing the 276 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: details of his own arrangements in an online video. Hear 277 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: him describe his decision and what that new form of 278 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: compensation is all about. He's doing this because he wants 279 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: you to consider following his leave. Porter sees a new 280 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: form of money in America being accepted by companies nationwide. 281 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: You don't need to be a CEO to obtain this 282 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: new kind of compensation. Thousands of Americans in different full 283 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: time roles have already started to be compensated. Check out 284 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: Porter's plan at Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com 285 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: Again Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com. There's a 286 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: lot of noise every day. Sometimes it's hard to distill 287 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: complex sort stories down to easily digestible components. Here is 288 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: how Kamala Harris is beaten. Three words. It's very simple. 289 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you an acronym economy, border crime, EBC. 290 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. Economy, border crime. If 291 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: Trump just focuses on those three issues, leaves everything else 292 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: to the side, he will win the twenty twenty four 293 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: election because these are the three things that voters care 294 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: about the most, and if you look at these on 295 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: a factual basis, they are the three areas that the 296 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: Biden Kamala administration has failed on most consistently. On the economy, 297 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: I just mentioned, we hit four point three percent unemployment, 298 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: highest since October of twenty ti twenty one. The stock 299 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: market today is down nearly one thousand points earlier. I 300 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: think it's down around seven hundred now. There is and 301 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: are major warning lights flashing that we are going to 302 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: hit a recession. When you hit a recession in the 303 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: fourth year of an administration, it's a sign that things 304 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: have gone horribly wrong. Inflation soared all the way to 305 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: nine percent. I don't have to tell you all of that. 306 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: You felt it. The cost of your goods, that is, 307 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: what you purchase, has gone up more than the average 308 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: person's wages have. The economy is a colossal failure, to 309 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: say nothing of the thirty five trillion dollars in debt. 310 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris failed on the economy. That 311 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: is point one. That is the e in EBC border 312 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: is the second one. Kamala Harris, why did they decide 313 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: that she wasn't the borders are because they are terrified 314 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: of her being tied directly to the ten million plus 315 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: illegals that have poured into this country and have made 316 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: even blue cities look around and say, what in the 317 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: world is going on here? New York City, Chicago, La Atlanta, Washington, 318 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: d C, Denver, places that don't have really a Republican 319 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: party that is functional in them at all sanctuary cities. 320 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: They've been overloaded. The border. Kamala Harris is directly responsible 321 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: and attached to the failures there. The border is the 322 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: second focal point that will lead to a Donald Trump victory. 323 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: The third is crime. You have to be very smart 324 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: in how you attack Kamala Harris on crime. You have 325 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: to go after her for supporting defund the police and 326 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: raising money to bail out riot and allowing crime to 327 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: skyrocket across the country. Quality of life issues, shoplifting that's 328 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: on the border. Sorry, that's on the ballot in California, 329 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: trying to repeal I think it's Proposition forty seven so 330 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: that people can actually be arrested for stealing things. Now, 331 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: that's it. That's all you need to focus on. Every 332 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: question you get, return it to EBC. Every opportunity you 333 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: have to talk about an issue, return it to EBC. Economy, 334 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: border crime. Now, if you want to occasionally add in 335 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: things that are pertinent of the moment, like Donald Trump 336 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: did yesterday when he said, hey, we shouldn't have people 337 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: with x Y chromosomes beating up women in the Olympics, 338 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: I think that's fine. Touches on a story of the 339 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: day that is trending, that is massively important. But then 340 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: immediately circle back to I don't think it's a win 341 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: to fight battles over identity politics. Is Kamala Harris Indian? 342 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: Is she black? People are gonna make their own decisions 343 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: about what her background is, and people like me could 344 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: come on here and point out that Kamala Harris was 345 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: the mistress of a married man, and that she got 346 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: paid four hundred thousand dollars while sleeping with that married man, 347 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: and that she doesn't have kids of her own, and 348 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: that she didn't get married till she was fifty, and 349 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: that her family is actually Jamaican, she spent time in Canada, 350 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: and her mom's family is Indian, and she hasn't had 351 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: the traditional black experience in America, So trying to make 352 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: her appear to be a paragon of blackness is actually 353 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: not in any way authentic. All of those things we 354 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: can talk about here and you guys all know them. 355 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: But for Trump himself and for JD. Vance, this is 356 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: a three letter election EBC, Economy, border crime. You're gonna 357 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: hear me for the next ninety days reference EBC A lot. 358 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: This is an economy, this is a border, this is 359 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: a crime election. The Biden Harris campaign cannot defend itself 360 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: on those three issues. They failed. They want to fight 361 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: a battle on is Kamala black. They want to fight 362 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: a battle on hey, what do we think about women 363 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: having children? They want to fight a battle on abortion. 364 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Don't allow them to pick the battleground. You have to 365 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: be disciplined and you have to return to the issues 366 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: that you're right on and that you're one hundred percent 367 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: going to win. Now, that doesn't mean when we're eventually 368 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: going to have the debate and Kamala Harris tries to 369 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: go after Donald Trump on abortion, which she will, that 370 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: he shouldn't punch back and point out that his position 371 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: is quite clear. Every state should be able to make 372 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: its own decision as it pertains to their choices on abortion. 373 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: Counter punching is fond, But you want to be fighting 374 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: this election on the terrain of economy, border, and crime. 375 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: Who's going to be better on those issues? The bonus 376 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: is it connects with men, black, white, Asian, and Hispanic. 377 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: It connects with women, black, white, Asian and Hispanic. The economy, 378 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: the border, and crime impacts everyone, and it doesn't get 379 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: bogged down in identity politics. My concern is what Kamala 380 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: Harris would love more than anything is to sit around 381 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: and debate Donald Trump on whether or not she's black. 382 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: In fact, ironically enough, I was thinking about this last night. Effectively, 383 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: what Trump is doing is the same thing that Biden 384 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: did when he said, if you don't vote for me, 385 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: you ain't black. He's basically turning this into an identity 386 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: politics election. That worked for Biden. By the way, even 387 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: though it's shameful, his argument that if you are a 388 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: certain race, you should vote for me is the foundation 389 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: of identity politics. That's why he picked Kamala Harris. That's 390 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: why he picked Katanji Brown Jackson. Trump should be embracing 391 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: the meritocracy. It's what's going to solve the issues of 392 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: the economy, border and crime EBC. If you make this 393 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: an election about EBC, you win. And I understand trust me, 394 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: because we have to come on and every single day 395 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: there's a billion issues that are taking place, and we 396 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: have to sit down buck and eye and we have 397 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: to say, okay, these are the seven things that we 398 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: need to talk about today that are impacting your day 399 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: to day lives. But we're not running for president of 400 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: the United States, and we're not in a debt on 401 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: sprint here ninety days away from the election, and remember 402 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: thirty days away basically from when people start to vote. 403 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: Once people start to vote, you're chasing a smaller number 404 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: of eligible voters out there, and I want you guys 405 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: to go out and vote early. In fact, I'll talk 406 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: about this a little bit later in the program. I've 407 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: made a decision in my own life. For virtually my 408 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: entire life, I have been an election day voter. I 409 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: just really like going into the polls on election day. 410 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't mind standing in line, I don't mind the 411 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: hustle and bustle of election day voting. I like it. 412 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: I think it's a really enjoyable part of American life 413 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: to know that you are going in and you are 414 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: going to be able to have your voice heard. And 415 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: so I think all of that is such a supremely 416 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: important part of this larger discussion. Get your vote in 417 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: early so that you can focus on getting other people 418 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: out to vote, and so you don't have to worry 419 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: about what the weather's going to be that day, or 420 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: whether you're going to have a sick kid or whether 421 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: you're going to have a grandparent that you need to 422 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: help with, or whether suddenly your kid has a sporting 423 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: event that you have to go to, or your grandkid 424 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: does There are millions of people out there that plan 425 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: on voting on election day that never go get your 426 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: vote in our early economy, border crime, EBC. It's not complicated. 427 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: All right, we come back. We'll take some of your 428 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: calls because it is Friday, and we try to make 429 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: sure that we hit as many of those calls on 430 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: Friday as we possibly can. We're going to get a 431 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: discussion by the way, at the top of the next 432 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: hour about Israel. I mentioned that we had to cancel 433 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: our trip to Israel that we were going to go 434 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: on with the show because all the airplane flights have 435 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: been canceled in with the expectation that there is going 436 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: to be a major attack coming soon. Prayers for everyone 437 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: in Israel. After they have been taking out some of 438 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: the Tarror leaders all over them, at least the expectation 439 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: is there's going to be a counter strike. We'll talk 440 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: with David Afoon about all of that. Also, Senator Marsha 441 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: Blackburn is scheduled to join us in the third hour 442 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: of the program yesterday was the primary in Tennessee. She 443 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: now is the official Republican nominee. What is she seeing 444 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: as she surveys the field with the elections upcoming in 445 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: the meantime? If there was a founding Father's Hall of Fame, 446 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: guess who would be in it? Thomas Jefferson, No doubt 447 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: about that at all. Third President, primary author of the 448 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, first Secretary of State, Governor of Virginia, 449 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: and he created a relationship with France in our nation's 450 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: early days that proved incredibly important. If you love history 451 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: even half as much as I do, you'll be amazed 452 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: that all that Thomas Jefferson accomplished in his lifetime. Our 453 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: friends at Hillsdale College have created a really cool Thomas 454 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: Jefferson's story that focuses on his thoughts on the meaning 455 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: of the Declaration of Independence. So based on an impactful 456 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: letter he wrote late in his life, we'd like for 457 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: you to watch a short video explaining it at clayanbuckfour 458 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: Hillsdale dot com.

It's it's more than just the weather. 489 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: What it does is it helps the door knockers narrow 490 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: a list down so we can cover more doors in 491 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 2: a day. 492 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: That's right. 493 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 2: I volunteer once, it was a few years ago. I'm 494 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: not particularly active, but I knocked on doors, and I 495 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: would encourage people to do it because you don't have 496 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: to get in an argument with the person about who 497 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 2: they're voting for. They give you a targeted list. Your 498 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: job as a doorknocker is just to get that ballot 499 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 2: in as early as possible. When you do that, your 500 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: name comes off the list of doors that I have 501 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 2: to knock on. So instead of knocking on fifty doors, 502 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: you know, in a five block radius, I can now 503 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: do you know twenty doors and ten block radius, and 504 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: as election day gets closer and closer, I can really 505 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: get on those few people who by now know me 506 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 2: to get their ballots in. And at this point, you know, 507 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 2: you can offer to maybe take it in for them 508 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 2: or drive them to the poll, or they forget, like, oh, 509 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: what time is the rec center open till? You know? 510 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: Or what time is the school open till? And you 511 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 2: can tell them, you know, okay, you need to get 512 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 2: it in today. And then the other thing that happens 513 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: is not only do I have fewer doors to knock on, 514 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: but your name comes off the list for calls, texting mail, mail, 515 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 2: that stuff you get in the mail, your name comes 516 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: off that lift. So it works for you. You get 517 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 2: all less of that election craft. Your ballot has been banked, 518 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: and it's easier on the campaign mail because they have 519 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: to reach out to fewer voters. So it really is 520 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: more than just about the weather. 521 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: Super smart, and I think that is incredibly important. What 522 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: you just laid out for people out there that are concerned. 523 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: If you vote, you allow other lower propensity voters that 524 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: haven't yet voted to be focused on. The earlier you 525 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: get your ballot in, the smarter you can be about 526 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: how all of that goes. Bob in Nebraska. What's got 527 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: for me? Bob? Where in Nebraska are you? Bob? 528 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 4: Uh Northeast Nebraska? 529 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: Okay, Omaha. By the way, I'm going to keep hammering 530 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: this on the program for the next ninety days too. 531 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: Those of you living in the Omaha voting air that district, 532 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: you have the potential in Omaha to decide who the 533 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: next president of the United States is. But sorry to 534 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: cut you off, Bob, I know we got a ton 535 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: of people listening in the Omaha area. You guys legitimately 536 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: could decide the next president of the United States, and 537 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: Omaha by itself. What do you think, Bob. 538 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 4: I'm furious with Donald Trump, and I'm furious with his 539 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 4: communications team. I think they have allowed they are backpedaling. 540 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 4: They should stay on message, and you were stating that 541 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 4: earlier before the break. Their message now is so muddled 542 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 4: and so incoherent, and they've allowed Kamala Harris to take 543 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 4: the offense away from them, and it's very She has 544 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 4: taken all of the momentum out of the Trump campaign. 545 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 4: And I blame it on the communications team and Trump 546 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 4: because he can be so uncontrollable I love listening to Trump. 547 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 4: I could listen to a rally speech of his ten times, 548 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 4: but he allows himself to go on these riffs that 549 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 4: just blur the issues that need to be highlighted. And 550 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 4: you said earlier, economy, border crime. I disagree, it's border, border, border, 551 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 4: then time, then economy. 552 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Look, I think the economy 553 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: is the number one thing that connects everybody. You can 554 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: disagree and say, hey, I think the border should be first, 555 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: but I don't think anybody would disagree if you really 556 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: look at the data. This is an economy, a border, 557 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: and a crime election, and most people think in threes. 558 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: You ever wonder why the five paragraph essay is such 559 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: a standard part of what we are taught, because you 560 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: know the vote for reference here opening paragraph, make three 561 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: arguments close. There are three arguments in this race for 562 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: Donald Trump to make economy, border crime, Open up, five 563 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: paragraph say people think often in threes. The holy trinity 564 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: this year of the twenty twenty four election is the economy, 565 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: border and crime. Now, Israel could also work its way 566 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: in as a mess. We are going to talk about 567 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: that next with David Afoon, who is scheduled to be 568 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: in studio with us. Then in the third hour we're 569 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: going to be joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. 570 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: All that coming your way, we are going to make 571 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: some sense for the world and keep hammering that economy, 572 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: border and crime. I'm Klay Travis. Thanks for hanging with 573 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: us on this fabulous Friday in August.
