I watched the debate. What were your 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: big takeaways? Well, tonight was a big and consequential debate. 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: But I have to say it before we get into it. 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: Then this entire podcast we're going to analyze the debate 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: in depth and say what it showed about about where 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: the race is, where President Trump is, where Kamala Harris is. 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: But I do want to point out it is exactly 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: midnight as you and I are recording, which means that 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: it has just become September eleventh, and for our listeners 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: who are downloading this, you'll be downloading this today during 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: September eleventh. And so I just want to start by 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: acknowledging that twenty three years ago, the worst terrorist attack 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: in our nation's history happened, and you and I both 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: lived through nine to eleven. We had friends who lost 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: their lives in nine to eleven. We saw the agony. 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: And we have talked on this podcast many times about 23 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: my view that today we have a greater risk of 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 3: a major terrorist attack than we have had any time 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: since September eleventh, two thousand and one, because of the 26 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 3: disastrous policies of the last four years. And so I 27 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: want to acknowledge that at the front end, and then 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 3: we're going to walk through right now what the biggest 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: takeaways are from the debate tonight. 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so glad that you mentioned the front end. 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: And you also have a story to talk about that 32 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: deals with those that lost their lives as we were 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: pulling out of that ga Afghanistan. We're going to chat 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: about that coming up in just a little bit. I 35 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: want to tell you real quick about our friends over 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: at Patriot Mobile.

This was a obviously important debate for Kamala Harris. 73 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: It was really a rollout and a sens where she 74 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: could be challenged. What we quickly saw though, was a 75 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: three on one debate against Donald Trump and ABC News. 76 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: What an end kind donation they gave. 77 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, the ABC moderators did not do a good job 78 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: that They clearly were biased towards Kamala Harris. We saw 79 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: that from their live quote fact checking, where repeatedly they'd 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: follow up what Trump said by contradicting him, by disputing him. 81 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: Many instances their fact checks were wrong and they never 82 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 3: never could be bothered a fact check a word that 83 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: came out of Kamala Harris's mouth. It was very one 84 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: sided on that front. But look, ABC News was the 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 3: least consequential part of tonight. What Tonight illustrated is that 86 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is utterly incapable of defending her own record. 87 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: And what we saw tonight, this was her stump speech, 88 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: and this was her DNC convention speech, cut into sound 89 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: bite and repeated. She memorized a series of vignettes, a 90 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: series of little segments, and just repeated those talking points 91 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: at nauseum. And it really became clear with the very 92 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: first question of the night, and the first question of 93 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: the night that David Muir asked her, is the question 94 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: that you and I and Monday's podcast said is the 95 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: single most important question of the debate and really of 96 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 3: every election, which is are you better off than you 97 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: were four years ago? And to Mere's credit, he started 98 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: with that question, are people off today than they were 99 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: four years ago? Under Trump? Now? Interestingly enough, Kamala refused 100 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: to answer it at all. She didn't say yes, she 101 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: didn't say people's lives are better, she said nothing at all. Instead, 102 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 3: she had a little memorized set peace about how I 103 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 3: was raised in a middle class family. I was raised 104 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: with a mom who loved me and struggled. And she 105 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: just talked about her bio and gave just just empty 106 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: platitudes that continued for the entire night. And so look, 107 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,239 Speaker 3: we saw this evening. Why it is that Kamala's campaign 108 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: team keeps her hidden in Joe Biden's basement. Why they 109 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: just bring her out, have a read from a teleprompter, 110 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: and then they tackle her and throw her back in 111 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: the basement. Because all right, let's take the very simple question. 112 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: She didn't say, yes, you're better off than you were 113 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: four years ago. Why, well, you really can't, Like it's 114 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: impossible to defend on every front. Inflation. All let's just 115 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: take inflation in the economy. Her policies and Joe Biden's 116 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: policies have been disastrous America. The working people of America 117 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: have seen the price of just about everything go up, 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: from food to electricity, to rent, to lumber, to healthcare, 119 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: to gasoline, to mortgages, everything go up. And critically, this 120 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: is where her record matters. Kamala Harris was the tie 121 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: breaking vote multiple times on the floor of the Senate 122 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: on trillions of dollars of the out of control spending 123 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: from this administration that has caused this inflation. She was 124 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: literally without her vote the trillions of dollars that we 125 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: borrowed and the trillions of dollars that Joe Biden and 126 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris ran the printing presses on that drove this 127 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: inflation that doesn't happen, and she can't defend that. She 128 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 3: doesn't have a good answer. When it comes to energy 129 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: and gas prices. People are hurting because of gas price 130 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 3: as well. It is her policies, in Joe Biden's policies 131 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: that has waged war systematically on oil and gas production 132 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: and American energy, and she can't defend that either, and 133 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: so instead she simply says, well, we're going to lower 134 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: energy prices, We're going to lower gas prices, and with 135 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: no acknowledgment that Wait a second, she is, in fact 136 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: the sitting vice president, and who knows where the heck 137 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 3: the actual president is besides pass out to sleep on 138 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 3: a beach. 139 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: When you see, I think the strategy and and now 140 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: it actually I think makes more sense, right like just 141 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: hide her buy ads, get the media to cover for 142 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: you and protect you at all costs. And maybe that 143 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: is a winning strategy, which comes to the obviously the 144 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: next big question, should there be another debate? 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: Do you believe there will be? 146 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: In the other debate, they were obviously in the Harris 147 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: camp implying that there was a big victory tonight, saying 148 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: that was fun, Let's do it again, and threw out 149 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: another date. Uh, signaling from her campaign they want to 150 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: tee it up again and go toe to toe with 151 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump again. Is that the right move for her? 152 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 3: Well, listen, I think Trump should absolutely accept that offer 153 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: for another debate. They should jump on it and say 154 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: let's go. I think the debate is a valuable opportunity 155 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: to calmly litigate her actual record. And let me say 156 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: this though, even if Trump does follow that advice and 157 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 3: does accept the debate, I think there's very little chance 158 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: it happens. I think Kamala's team will back out on it. 159 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 3: I think they're mostly just puffing out their chest and 160 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: boasting right now with the offer of another debate, I 161 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: think there is no world in which they let her 162 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: do a second debate. I think it's back to the basement. 163 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: And if I were to predict, we're not going to 164 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: see Kamala emerge from the basement until election day. It's 165 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: like the groundhog until she sees her shadow on election day, 166 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: she doesn't get to come out of the basement other 167 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: than to show up at a rally here and there 168 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: and read from the teleprompter the same speech. But they 169 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 3: want to keep her absolutely controlled and repeating and listen, 170 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: I will say, the Democrat Party has very good message masters. 171 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: They have very good This is the party of Hollywood, 172 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: this is the party of storytellers. Her memorized set pieces, 173 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 3: some of them are pretty effective. They're disconnected from reality. 174 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 3: They don't acknowledge any facts on earth. But if you 175 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: just listen to them, they are calmly, reassuring, they sound nice. 176 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 3: And it's why. Look, this is the same reaction I 177 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 3: had with her convention speech. It's dangerous as hell, because 178 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 3: if you're not paying close attention, what she says sounds 179 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: nice unless she is forced to confront her actual own record. 180 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: And in the entire debate, the ABC moderators never once 181 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 3: pointed out that her record is exactly the opposite of 182 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: what she said on the debate stage over and over again. 183 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: So when I watched the debate, the question I always 184 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: ask myself is okay, if I was going in a 185 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 2: night voting for Donald Trump, was I convinced by Kamala 186 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: Harris that I should switch my vote? 187 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: The answer honestly is no. 188 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: And if I'm a Kamala Harris voter and was going 189 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 2: into the night watching Kamala Harris saying I'm going to 190 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: vote for her. Am I going to switch my vote 191 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: to Donald Trump tonight? Honestly? Probably not? Does that mean 192 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: that this is a draw? And since where Hey, Donald 193 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: Trump's team they walk out of this going okay, maybe 194 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: we could have done a little better on this that 195 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: or the other. Maybe we'll work on that for the 196 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: next subbay, but we didn't do any harm and we 197 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: got out. Are some good points. Kama's team probably says, hey, 198 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 2: we had it. We survived the night we had you 199 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: in hiding in the basement. Is this one of those 200 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: debates that we both said was one of the most 201 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: important ever? But could in theory be a draw? Because really, 202 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: you're if the if the barometer is I'm trying to 203 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: change hearts and minds. Did anyone's mind change tonight? 204 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: Well, Kamala's team and all of our cheerleaders in the 205 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: corporate media are going to relentlessly hype that she won, 206 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: that she won, that she won. And by the way, 207 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: they were going to say that whatever happened, she could 208 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: literally fall to the ground and start screaming and wailing 209 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: and kicking her feet in the air, and they would 210 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: say she won, so that that was going to be 211 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: the narrative regardless. I will say, what we learned is 212 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: she doesn't have a good answer to her own record. 213 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 3: The Trump campaign needs to continue to prosecute the case. 214 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: So let's let's take, for example, there was a hole 215 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: back and forth on abortion, and Trump said accurately that 216 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: she supports late term abortions into the eighth and ninth 217 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: months of pregnancy, and she just said, over and over again, no, 218 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't that's false, that's false, and 219 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: the moderators sat there like potted plants. Well, it so 220 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 3: happens that Kamala actually has a record, and in particular, 221 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: she has voted for legislation on the floor of the 222 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 3: Senate to strike down every single restriction on abortion in 223 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: the country and to legalize abortion in the eighth and 224 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: ninth months up to the moment of birth. That is 225 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: her actual voting record, what she has voted for. There 226 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: was another exchange where Trump points out that the governor 227 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: of Virginia, the former governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, had 228 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: advocated for post birth abortion, and she flat out lied 229 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: and said no, no, he didn't know. 230 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 2: He didn't any play that because we have that clip. 231 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 2: And this is why I love doing this show, is 232 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: we get to play it. This is Northam on the 233 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: radio on WTP saying what she said, and the media said, 234 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: never happened. 235 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 4: If a mother is in labor, I can tell you 236 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the 237 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 4: infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated 238 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 4: if that's what the mother and the family desired, and 239 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 4: then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mothers. 240 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: I mean, where's the fact check for ABC News on that? Senator? 241 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and understand Ralph Northam, he was a Democrat governor 242 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: of Virginia. He was also someone whose medical school yearbook 243 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: featured a picture of a klansman. That's another part of 244 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 3: Ralph Northm's background. But he was also an obg y n. 245 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: So he was actually talking about as a doctor who 246 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 3: presumably has done that. He was describing the approach, and 247 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 3: that is delivering a baby. The baby is alive, is eathing, 248 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 3: is outside the mother's womb, and he's talking about just 249 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: letting the baby die. And again, this is where records matter. 250 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: Kamala has a record on this. So when she says 251 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 3: that's ridiculous, that's no, no, no, no, no, that's not true. Well, 252 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, 253 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: and that was a bill that we voted on the 254 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: floor of the Senate that said if during the course 255 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 3: of an attempted abortion, the child is delivered, the child 256 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: is born, and this happens, and the child is alive 257 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: and breathing and outside the womb, that the doctor cannot 258 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: just let the baby die. And she voted no. Now, 259 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: as you noted, ABC did in fact check her on that, 260 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 3: her voting record is very clear, and this was a 261 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 3: pattern over and over and over again on energy. So 262 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: her big trick now on energy is she's run away 263 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: from her long held position opposing fracking. Okay, fine, so 264 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: she he's like, yeah, I just flip flopped on that. 265 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: What ABC didn't point out is, well, wait a second, 266 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: your repeated statements about banning fracking. That's not the only 267 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: thing you've done on energy. First week in office, you 268 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 3: and Joe Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline. Joe Biden, 269 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: when he was campaigning for president, promised to shut down 270 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: drilling on shore, on federal lands and offshore. You put 271 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 3: in over ninety different regulations and executive orders attacking oil 272 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: and gas production in the United States that has had 273 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: a very direct effect driving up cost. Your administration banned 274 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: new permits exporting liquid natural gas. Like her record on 275 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 3: energy is terrible, and she has no answer to that. 276 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: And by the way, Trump did a good job on 277 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: this point of saying, listen, you banned the Keystone pipeline 278 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: and gave a giant gift of Vladimir Putin by allowing 279 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: him to complete the Nordstream two pipeline, which caused the 280 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: war in Ukraine. And that's something you and I have 281 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: talked about on this podcast a lot. It was my 282 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: legislation in the Senate that sanctioned Nordstream two and shut 283 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: it down. Trump signed my legislation and Putin literally stopped 284 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: building the nord Stream two pipeline the day that Trump 285 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: signed my sanctions legislation in the law. Nordstream two was 286 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: a dead hunk of metal at the bottom of the 287 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: ocean until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office. 288 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 3: And and they demonstrated weakness, and and and they waived 289 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: the sanctions on nord Stream two. And it was a 290 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 3: multi billion dollar gift to to Russia, and it caused 291 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: the war in Ukraine. None of that does she have 292 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 3: an answer for. 293 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: We just got in the official number. ABC News fact 294 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 2: check Donald Trump seven times, not one time the debate. 295 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: Did they fact check Kamala Harris? 296 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: Not once? 297 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: So that's the official caw tally now is seven times 298 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: on Trump. That's three on one, And I do think 299 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: that's going to have a turn off, I would hope 300 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 2: to some of those voters, maybe in the middle, the undecideds, 301 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: which very much can be the deciding factor in this election. 302 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 2: Will that play with undecideds? Do you think did they 303 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: see the bias that you and I saw? 304 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 3: They saw that some, but I think they also go 305 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: in expecting the media to be biased. So I don't 306 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: think anyone is surprised that ABC is a left wing 307 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 3: mouthpiece for the Democrats. That's been the case sadly for 308 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 3: a long time for ABCNBCCBSC and AN, MSNBC, all of 309 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 3: them have been mouthpieces for the Democrats. So yes, they 310 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: saw it, but again they're not surprised. Look, the critical 311 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 3: thing that we saw tonight is is she doesn't have 312 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 3: a good answer on the chaos at our southern border. 313 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was the borders are. She is directly responsible 314 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 3: for the worst level of illegal immigration in our nation's history. 315 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: She is directly responsible for the people who have died. 316 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: Eight hundred and fifty three migrants died last year crossing 317 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 3: Allelian in this country. She is responsible for the people, 318 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 3: the women who have been brutally raped. She's responsible for 319 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: the children who have been brutalized. She's responsible for the 320 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: little boys and little girls who've been horribly assaulted by 321 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: human traffickers. She's responsible for the one hundred and ten 322 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: thousand Americans who died last year of drug overdoses. She 323 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 3: is responsible for the murderers that she and Joe Biden 324 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: had in their custody. Murderers like the illegal alien murderer 325 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 3: of Lake and Riley that she and Joe Biden had 326 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 3: in custody, and they released murderers like the illegal alien 327 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 3: murderer of Rachel Morin that illegal alien was in her custody. 328 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 3: She released them. Murderers like the illegal alien murderers of 329 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 3: Joscelyn Nungary. Both of them were in her custody and 330 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: she and Joe Biden released them, and so that record. 331 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 3: She was not forced tonight to answer for any of 332 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 3: that record and that but it demonstrated that she does 333 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 3: not have a good response. And and that's what I 334 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 3: think the next two months the Trump campaign has to 335 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 3: prosecute systematically based on the facts.

I 381 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 2: really do believe they've got to keep it simple for 382 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: the American voter, especially if you're trying to go after undecided. 383 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 3: Sure, and that's what we talk talked about in Monday's pod, 384 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 3: that that the focus needs to be on harms, harms, harms. 385 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 3: How are people's lives worthought? Worse off because of the 386 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: horrible policies that Kamala Harris is directly responsible for. And 387 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 3: and that's true on inflation, she was literally the tie 388 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 3: breaking vote behind the trillions of spending that that unleash 389 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: this inflation. It's true on energy, she and Joe Biden, 390 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: it has been their executive orders and their regulations that 391 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 3: have driven up energy prices. And and it's true on 392 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 3: the border, and and and let me play there that 393 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 3: there was one of the best exchanges with something Trump 394 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 3: said on the border where he made the point that 395 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: that that that listen, she she could secure the border today, 396 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 3: and and and and and listen listen to this what 397 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: what what he said to her? Right now? 398 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 5: I would say we would both leave this debate right now. 399 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 5: I'd like to see her go down to Washington, D C. 400 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 5: During this debate because we're wasting a lot of time. 401 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 5: Go down to because she's been so bad, it's so ridiculous. 402 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: Go down to Washington, D C. 403 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: And let her sign a bill to close up the border, 404 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 5: because they have the right to do it. 405 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: They don't need bills. 406 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 5: They have the right to do the president of the 407 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 5: United States, you'll get them out of bed. 408 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: You'll wake them up at four o'clock in the afternoon. 409 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 5: You'll say, come on, come on down to the office, 410 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 5: let's sign a bill. 411 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: It was a great moment in the debate. 412 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, that point is very powerful. And understand this 413 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 3: invasion at our southern border. It is happening right now today. 414 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: There are hundreds, if not thousands of illegal immigrants crossing 415 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: the border right now today today Joe Biden and Kamala 416 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 3: Harris are apprehending hundreds, if not thousands of illegal aliens 417 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: and they're going to release them tomorrow. There are criminals 418 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: they're going to release tomorrow. There are murderers they're going 419 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: to release going forward. There are rapists, there are child molestors, 420 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: and they keep on doing it. And the point Trump 421 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 3: is making, and listen, his campaign needs to follow this 422 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 3: up by explaining, by by really explaining. Look, when Joe 423 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 3: Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, they inherited the 424 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 3: lowest rate of illegal immigration in forty five years. Donald Trump. 425 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 3: I worked hand in hand with President Trump to secure 426 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: the border, and we had incredible success. When Trump was president, 427 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: the border was secure. And it was unilateral executive actions 428 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 3: that caused this crisis. Three decisions that Biden Harris did 429 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 3: in the very first week. Number one, they immediately halted 430 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 3: construction of the border wall. Number two, they reinstated the 431 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: disastrous policy of catch and release, and number three, they 432 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: pulled out of the incredibly successful Remain in Mexico agreement. 433 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 3: All three of those they could reverse tomorrow, and so 434 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 3: the point like, literally, go down to the White House 435 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 3: right now and do it. That is absolutely right. It 436 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 3: is also right that if and I pray when Trump 437 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 3: is reelected that he will reverse all three of those 438 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 3: decisions on January twentieth of next year, and we will 439 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 3: see the border crisis end and it will end quickly. 440 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 3: And so that point was very effective. Let me say also, 441 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 3: Ben I thought the foreign policy portion of the debate 442 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: was particularly strong for Trump, and it was very weak 443 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: for Kamala Harris. At one point she looks over at 444 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 3: Trump and says, well, you know, everyone knows that he 445 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 3: was weak and ineffective on foreign policy. And I got 446 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 3: to say to me that that was a laugh line. 447 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: And listen, if you look across the globe, we had 448 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 3: peace and prosperity when Trump was president. We had no 449 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: foreign wars, and in fact, we saw peace breaking out 450 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: in the Middle East. We saw the Abraham Accords being signed, 451 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: we saw Arabs and Israelis coming together. And I think 452 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 3: it is absolutely the case that if Trump were still 453 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: in the White House today, the war in Ukraine would 454 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 3: not have happened, in the war in Israel would not 455 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 3: have happened. That it was Joe Biden Kamala Harris's weakness 456 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 3: that caused those wars, and critically, and Trump did a 457 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: good job of this too, laying out that that Listen, 458 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris has flowed over one hundred billion dollars to Iran. 459 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: Iran provides ninety percent of the funding for Hamas, ninety 460 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 3: percent of the funding for Hesbela. Kamala Harris, in a 461 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 3: very real sense paid for the death squads that carried 462 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 3: out the atrocities on October seventh, and and and Kamala 463 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 3: has no answer to that, and and and tonight showed 464 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 3: that powerfully. 465 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 5: You know. 466 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: I also think, and you go to the end of 467 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: the debate that one of the best parts was actually 468 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 2: Donald Trump in his closing argument. And it goes back 469 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 2: to the campaign strategy I think he needs to have 470 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 2: moving forward, and that is to make sure he makes 471 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 2: this about what she has done in comparison to what 472 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 2: she claims she wants to do while she's in charge. 473 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: Like you're in charge, you're in charge, You're in charge? 474 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 3: Is it? In Trump? 475 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 5: So she just started by saying she's going to do this, 476 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 5: She's going to do that, She's going. 477 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: To do all these wonderful things. 478 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 5: Why hasn't she done it? She's been there for three 479 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 5: and a half years. They've had three and a half 480 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 5: years to fix the border, They've had three and a 481 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 5: half years to create jobs and all the things we 482 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 5: talked about. 483 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: Why hasn't she done it? 484 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 5: She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful 485 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 5: White House, go to the Capitol, get everyone together, and 486 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 5: do the things you want to do. But you haven't 487 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 5: done it, and you won't do it because you believe 488 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 5: in things that the American people don't believe in. 489 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: It's a great line, and I wish it would have 490 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: been used even more. 491 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the closing, was Trump's best, best part 492 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 3: of the entire debate, and that that was exactly the 493 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 3: right message. It's a message that the Trump campaign should 494 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: amplify every day between now an election day. Listen, you 495 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: and I have talked about how kamalas trying to engage 496 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: in this divorced from reality campaign where she pretends she's 497 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: not in office, that she's not the incumbent, she disavows 498 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 3: all responsibility for the mess that is happening, and in fact, 499 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 3: she's behaving as if Donald Trump is the incumbent president 500 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: and she's the change candidate.

Sent her final question, I think for you 538 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: and really for me. When I was watching this tonight 539 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: and it's say, Okay, where do we go from here? 540 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: I'm in favor of another debate. I think you you 541 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: cover that earlier, right, you agree Trump should do another 542 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: one number one, Yes. 543 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: But I don't think she will. I think you don't 544 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: think she will. 545 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: So your prediction is she's done. 546 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: Yep. 547 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: Number two. 548 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 2: If you're Donald Trump, what do you learn for tonight 549 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: and what do you take into your big campaign rallies 550 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: from this? And what is your messaging to your surrogates 551 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: tomorrow on the surrogate. 552 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: Call, I think the message is she cannot defend her record, 553 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 3: and her record is a failure. The American people are 554 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 3: worse off. But listen, I think it's important to remember also, 555 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 3: this is not about Donald Trump, and it's not about 556 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. It is about the American people. It is 557 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: about It is about you young couples who are going 558 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 3: out and buying their first home and they're discovering that 559 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 3: a seven and a half percent mortgage rate is much 560 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: much worse than a two and a half percent mortgage 561 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 3: rate that you get about half the house. That's happening 562 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 3: right now today, people are hurting. It's about a single 563 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: mom who's trying to make ends meet and she can't 564 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 3: afford to buy groceries anymore because the prices have gone 565 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 3: so high, and when she tries to fill up her 566 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: tank to go to work, it just about breaks her. 567 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 3: It's about the people who are suffering. Look today, on 568 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 3: September tenth, there was a ceremony in the Capitol where 569 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 3: the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the thirteen servicemen 570 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: and women who were murdered in Afghanistan from the absolutely 571 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Abbigate. And I'll tell you 572 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 3: the families were there and it was a beautiful ceremony, 573 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: and the families I spoke to many of the families. 574 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 3: I thanked every one of them that I could to 575 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 3: say thank you for your service and sacrifice. I'm sorry. 576 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: But I also to many of them. Had a follow 577 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 3: up conversation where I said, there needs to be accountability. 578 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 3: There has been zero accountability. That the focus for the 579 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 3: campaign every day from now to election day needs to 580 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 3: be the difference between Trump's record and Kamala's record and 581 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: critically bringing it home to the voters now their lives 582 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 3: were much better when Trump was president than they have 583 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: been under Kamala, and that her policies are failures and 584 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 3: they're hurting the American people. That's got to be the 585 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 3: central message. 586 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, as you mentioned a second ago, on this anniversary 587 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: of nine to eleven, I think it's important that we 588 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 2: also take a step back, remember how important it is 589 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: that you have competent leaders that understand how important it 590 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 2: is to protect and defend the homeland, to protect and 591 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 2: defend freedom. And also just a moment to say thank 592 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: you to all of those that serve this country, to 593 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 2: all of those that wear the uniform, to all those 594 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 2: that have given the ultimate sacrifices and their families. There 595 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 2: were so many people that died on nine to eleven, 596 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 2: but there was also the second part, and that was 597 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 2: so many that died because they wanted to protect and 598 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 2: defend us after nine to eleven, that gave the ultimate sacrifice. 599 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 2: And I said to everybody listening, say thank you to 600 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 2: a veteran.
