But before we jump into any of our interviews, let's jump into the headlines and change the way you consume your news. Monkey, this is not nom, this is bowling, they're a rule. Hey, hey, hey, hey, junior, America! It's like four fastest! So stand by! All right, everybody, welcome to the State for Breakfast podcast. I'm Ron Noah's here with me. Yo, if you're a first-time listener, welcome to the show. If you're a long-time listener, welcome back to America's fastest growing, and quickly becoming favorite political podcast, on a rare Wednesday edition of the show today. It usually happens in the fallout from the midterm elections, presidential elections, and obviously the debate that happened last night as we get ready to lead in here. Noah, your initial reactions before we get into coverage. Of the debate? Yeah. I mean, I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling about it at the end, but reflecting on everything that was said and the points that were made, I think Trump did take the bait a couple more times than we would have liked. Sure. I think he allowed his emotions to get in the way a little bit, and got a little, you know, spun out onto the extraneous topics to some extent, but all in all, I mean, Kamala Harris just being able to memorize these long-winded speeches while she stares intently into the camera. It was a little bit too perfect. Like, it's obvious that the moderators were a, fact-checking only him, and b, lining her up with, like, underhanded pitches just for her to just whack them into the bleachers and by bleachers, I mean, the bleachers that those two people were sitting in in front of her. You know, it's pretty funny, and I'm going to agree with you on just about most of that. The fact-checking was at least a five, maybe as many as seven times to zero in favor of Donald Trump getting fact-checked. Yeah, and she literally popped out with the same shit that's been repeated over and over and over again that is categorically false and proven so. Yeah, it's pretty wild that they let that stuff, but when you look at the coverage that we're going to provide today and give you all the receipts on how that was able to happen, I mean, listen, I would say a brief summary of things. If you didn't watch any of the debate and really don't care to know too much about it, which obviously isn't why you're listening to the show today or for steak for breakfast in general, but I'll just give you, like, my honest to God, this is a recap. You know, let's just say I'm the moderator. I'm Brian Mir. Donald Trump, you're a piece of crap. Everybody knows this. No one debates it. And I just want you to lay out for the American public about how big of a piece of crap you are. Donald Trump will lead in. Now, listen. Did you notice my eyebrows are candid slightly to the right? That's not a serious question. This isn't a serious debate. What is a serious problem? This is a serious face. Right. The wide open U.S. southern border. That's how Donald Trump would add and how that is the root cause of everything that's going on wrong in this country right now. And the debate moderator would look at Kamala Harris and say Donald Trump doesn't want to take accountability for being a piece of crap. Vice President Harris, would you like to elaborate? She would go on some memorized talking point and then Donald Trump would be like, that's completely incorrect and false. I'd like a chance to reply. Mr. Trump, we have a lot of items we need to take and get in for the debate here, so we're just going to move on. That was the worst part about it. That was the worst part about it is every time she's about to end whatever commentary that she's making, she throws in some incendiary comment that draws him in. And he literally has to respond to it because if he doesn't respond to it, all the media pundits are going to be like, oh, Donald Trump refused to address this that Kamala Harris lobed at him. It was just ridiculous. And we're going to get into it all. We're going to unpack it for you guys. We're going to give you a very comprehensive 2024 presidential debate recap on this special edition, Wednesday edition of State for Breakfast of the Day. We split the episode so we didn't have to wait until Friday to cover this as we potentially look towards a lot of news that could develop between now and then we could focus all of our attention on that and not really have to worry about being the last person when it comes to commentating on the debate, which we did a lot of heavy lifting in to watching and breaking down last night. Before we do though, unfortunately and consequently, we are on the, I guess what would you call it? I don't like calling them. It's not a holiday. It's a remembrance, a commemoration of the 9/11. Yeah, memorial of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which happened 23 years ago. There was that funny clip that went around in the news this week when, you know, Joe Biden was asked getting out of Marine Run and heading back to the White House, sir. What happened to Building 7? No, not quite. They asked if he was going to be at the debates and he said he's going to be watching the debates because he was doing 9/11 the next day to where like everybody in the press just kind of stopped and like looked at each other. And Joe Biden just walked away because he's Joe Biden. But the meme I made was the, the staff are whispering into George Bush's ear on the iconic day. And the caption of the meme was, yes, sir, I understand that it was 23 years ago, but he said he's doing it tomorrow. Oh boy. So that's kind of where we're at. And this morning, Donald Trump made a stop at a couple FDNY stations, also met with police and other first responders in the big apple. He attended along with former mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, current resident of the United States, Joe Biden, and VP Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, and JD Vance showed up at the 9/11 memorial ceremony down in Midtown Manhattan. I pulled a couple brief clips because I just want to kind of give our listenership. A lot of people are working while these services are going on. You might not catch them in its entirety or at all, even though we do take a pretty good look into 9/11. And remember in the holidays, we've had some great guests in over the years, people who have survived the attacks, literally, like Colonel Rob Manis, people who were working in the Pentagon during that time, like Colonel Doug McGregor, and people who went along and served in the fallout from 9/11 to fight in Iraq and places like Afghanistan, like Sean Parnell. So, but today we're doing our debate recap, but I just want to kind of give you guys a little bit of an insight into what it looked like in Midtown today. As Donald Trump, JD Vance joined the rest of the deep state at a 9/11 memorial, I have some audio, and it's pretty interesting. These things are usually extremely somber, very quiet. They're not a place where the families of the fallen are looking to make a political statement. However, well, I'll let you guys listen and be the judge yourself. Let's get into the first clip. Now this is Trump standing in the front row, Noah, JD Vance is to his left. Bloomberg to his right followed by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, and his wife. [CHEERING] Joe Biden looks visibly agitated. [CHEERING] So again, Donald Trump went down to Manhattan today to remember and share in the services with the families of those who lost their lives. And it turned into a mini Trump rally. The only thing that's different between this outside of being a 9/11 memorial, which makes it a little bit weird to be a Trump rally is because he was flanked by Michael Bloomberg, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Chuck Schumer. They got to see firsthand what it's like when the people want to show some love and appreciation for Donald Trump, and I thought it was a really good kind of look into the mood that America is in right now. Maybe in the fallout from the debate, maybe a combination of that with the 9/11 Commencement date being today as well. But again, what I've seen over the past 20 some odd years is that this is not a place for political grandstanding. Even the families who still don't think that the U.S. government has done an adequate job of providing the receipts and the investigation on how this was able to occur. You usually don't see people making these big, overt political statements. However, this morning, during one of the times, I believe it was when the first tower was struck, they were reading through the names of those who perished in the terrorist attack. And a family of one of the victims decided to take their time in reading a portion of the roster of the people who died and make a political statement directed at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who were front and center to the readings of the name this morning. Let's take it out. What has been a 30 years was one of them. It is outrageous that our government would ever entertain the thought of granting the terrorists a plea deal. If not for the outcry of the 9/11 community, who knows what might have transpired. It has been 23 years and the families deserve justice and accountability. The elected officials here today show their respect and reverence to the families on September 11th, or in our president's words, do 9/11, quite a flippant remark. But please remember that the September 11 families live it every day, not just on the anniversary. What do you think? No, I didn't expect it. I'll be honest with you. I didn't expect that because I haven't seen it in all the years since the fallout and the memorial services and the commemorances that are set up in regards to honoring those who died that day. Yeah, it's surprising. It's good. It's good that people are calling it out. You know, it's even more surprising, or maybe not to us here on the show. It was shortly after that widow gave those remarks that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the entirety of their security detail left the calling of the names citing that they needed to get over to a rural field in Pennsylvania to participate in the memorial ceremony there, and that they couldn't stay for the entirety of the one they were now getting heckled at. Yep. So listen, very tragic day for this country. It led to essentially two forever wars that, in a lot of contexts, is still aren't wrapped up. I think Donald Trump is going to find a little bit more closure, not just for the families who lost their life at Abigade in the withdrawal disaster from Afghanistan, but to hold the Taliban accountable to the things that they didn't adhere to as Donald Trump pointed out last night during the debate. During the Biden, Harris led withdrawal. In addition, you know, I've heard several reports this week that U.S. servicemen and women who are stationed in Iraq still have come under rocket attacks in higher frequency over the course of the last couple weeks, probably in responses to the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf and off the coast of Israel kind of posturing there. We need to figure this out because what we're doing right now, and it's one of the things Kamala Harris had zero accountability for during the debate, and we'll get into it as far as Afghanistan and Russia and Ukraine and stuff. But let's lead into this now. As we dip out of 9/11, not do 9/11, like Joe Biden said, what an absolute asshat that guy is, and jump into our 2024 presidential debate recap. Second one for Donald Trump, first for Kamala Harris as she's been inserted over the last 60 days as the Democrat candidate now nominee. And a little bit of backstory, in case you didn't know, or maybe you just heard snippets of it in the news over the course of the last couple weeks. No, did you know about the relationship between the top executive, the person who pulls all the strings at ABC and Kamala Harris? What about him? What did he do now? Her, her, the candidate. So here's a headline for the New York Times that came out over the weekend. A top ABC, a personal connection to Kamala Harris. The candidate is a longtime friend of Dana Walden, a senior Disney executive whose portfolio includes ABC News, the host of the next debate. And then ABC said she does not weigh in on editorial decisions. Looking into the backstory a little bit more, Walden and Harris have been knowing each other since 1994, while their husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Jerkoff, have known each other since the late 80s. Dana Walden has donated to dozens of Democrats and contributed to Harris's political campaign since at least 2003, when she ran for the District Attorney in San Francisco. She went on to donate. That was her subsequent campaigns for California Attorney General in the U.S. Senate as well as her 2020 bid for the White House before she abandoned her campaign. Harris even credited Dana and Matt Walden for her marriage at a fundraiser in April of 2022, which was held at Walden's home in Los Angeles where she cited. Dana introduced Kamala to her husband. And this isn't like elitists who run into each other at cocktail parties or big donor events. We love each other. We hate the peasants. And these people are friends. Oh, yeah. None of this is a surprise whatsoever to me at all. It was going to be stacked against them from the very get-go. Absolutely. And when you take all of these factors into the equation of the way that I knew after the second question went down, Donald Trump gave his first answer and then he wanted to segue to something else. But it's like ABC was like almost weirdly trying to slow him down as they were leading Kamala Harrison to the next memorized talking point. And I completely come to the assumption that number one, Kamala Harris had either the exact questions or the show structure, the topics in which way they were going to go well beforehand. No, she had been practicing all of that stuff. Yes, weeks or even months. Even though there were times where she slurred or stuttered, just because she was talking fast, it had nothing to do with being drunk. We're not getting into any of that shit today. But she was going from memory. Yeah, she stopped herself and she almost took a breath. And then finished the sentence that she knew she had memorized. And I tell you what, it was really ugly. And what happened was, and I think everybody should have the opportunity, go back and watch the debate a second time. The first time I felt angry, I felt frustrated, I felt probably a lot of the things Donald Trump was going through saying, like, how is this even? This is nothing. This is bullshit. We're not talking about anything. We're not asking her about her record. We're not talking about the last, you know, nearly four years in this country. We're not talking about the policy points that she cut and paced. It was digitally proven off of Joe Biden's campaign website. Did you hear about that? Wait, what? Yeah, they just copy pasted it. So they went and put up some policy platform points on Kamala Harris's official presidential campaign website. And some of the nerds who govern the internet went and did a digital scrub on it. And the coding for the wording is the exact same as the one that's on Joe Biden's. So they literally just cut and paste it used to different font and background and put the exact same digital footprint onto the Harris website from Joe Biden's. Is it like when you copy paste something from like one word file to another and like the font is, it looks the same, but it's like slightly off. Like so they just typed whatever and Kamala Harris agrees with this at the end and like it's a different, a slightly different size or something. Or what is it with the layout where it's the height or whatever it is? I don't remember. Well, I guess if you physically like literally just be so lazy that you cut and paste things from one website to another. There's like a whole bunch of digital DNA behind it that you can kind of scrape off of one website or pull the data from. And it's like the meta information or whatever they call it 100% the same as Joe Biden's. So it's like going into this debate as the story broke across the news yesterday afternoon. There should have been no questions onto what the American public was getting regardless of what Kamala Harris or how she answered during this debate went down because it was going to be more of the exact same thing, someone who could articulate it better. And she was going to turn the keys to the country just like Joe Biden did over to the Marxist and the radical progressives. So that's exactly what you were going to be getting. I don't think anybody should have any confusion to that regardless of what she said last night. And again, in watching the full debate for a second time, being able to fast forward through the commercials and just start to finish it. It's like an hour and ten-ish minutes. I felt so much better in watching this play out. I hadn't looked at any of the post-debates snap polls. I hadn't seen any of the people speaking in town halls. But what I felt after watching it a second time was a lot more reassuring to see the poll numbers come out. And again, these town halls who are having people talk about who they were voting for after watching this debate and why. And I think we'll get there by the end of the show today. So let's jump right into this. Right at the start of the debate where Kamala Harris has asked if Americans are better off now, than they were under former President Trump. Let's check it out. Vice President Harris, you and President Trump were elected four years ago, and your opponent on the stage here tonight often asks his supporters, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago? So I was raised as a middle-class kid, and I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America. I believe in the ambition, the aspirations, the dreams of the American people. And that is why I imagine and have actually a plan to build what I call an opportunity economy. Because here's the thing. We know that we have a shortage of homes in housing, and the cost of housing is too expensive for far to many people. We know that young families need support to raise their children, and I intend on extending a tax cut for those families of $6,000, which is the largest child tax credit that we have given in a long time, so that those young families can afford to buy a crib, buy a car seat, buy clothes for their children. My passion, one of them, is small businesses. I was actually, my mother raised my sister and me, but there was a woman who helped raise us. We call her our second mother. She was a small business owner. I love our small businesses. My plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses, knowing they are part of the backbone of America's economy. My opponent, on the other hand, his plan is to do what he has done before, which is to provide a tax cut for billionaires and big corporations, which will result in $5 trillion to America's deficit. My opponent has a plan that I call the Trump's sales tax, which would be a 20% tax on everyday goods that you rely on to get through the month. The economists have said that Trump's sales tax would actually result for middle-class families in about $4,000 more a year because of his policies and his ideas about what should be the backs of middle-class people paying for tax cuts for billionaires. You know, instead of letting Donald Trump go in openly and saying, "How would you like to respond?" I would have interjected as the moderator. Any normal moderator did. We saw it a little bit during the CNN debate and just say, "Answer the question." Well, Vice President Harris, did you or did America incur any of this during Donald Trump's first four years in office? Well, no, but his policies, well, he says he wants to bring back the Trump economy, so the Trump economy would be more of like what we saw during his four years in office than what you're hypothesizing on will come with no factual data. They've referenced Project 2025 at least half a dozen times in addition to very fine people. Yeah, suckers and losers, Charlottesville hoax, the insurrection. First of all, and again, this is where the fact-checking needed to come into account. Well, everything except for the fact that January 6 actually did happen, although they painted it in a way that was not truthful. All the other stuff was 100% just complete and utter bullshit. Yeah. I mean, that has been fact-checked multiple times. Kamal Harris led in with her January 6 answer saying, "I was at the Capitol on January 6, 2021." That is the only accurate fact that she said in anything after that. And then she said, "What transpired was the biggest insurrection since the Civil War to completely on the eve of 9/11, throwing 9/11 in the garbage." And all of this other bullshit. Meanwhile, kind of answer about the pipe bombs. Like, how come there was no big fuss about these pipe bombs that were so close to where you were? Wasn't that an attempt on a public official's life? Kamal Harris, no media about that. Right. She left the Capitol before noon. She went to the DNC and left the DNC before 1/30 in the afternoon, before the pipe bombs were found, before anybody, and I'm saying this, air quoting as hard as I can, breached the Capitol at 2/12 in the afternoon. So she was so far, it was like the AOC thing, where she heard people banging on the door saying that they wanted to murder and rape her even though she was in a building that had no people. It was a pizza delivery driver. Yeah. So that's kind of the answers that they allowed her to just zero fact checking. And you know this came down from the ABC execs. And you know that in the first five to seven minutes of this 90 minute debate that Kamal Harris was going to have free reign, the moderators want to help her in any way she performed, which couldn't articulate for herself. And about, I would say 35 minutes into it, Donald Trump had pretty much had it. Yeah. You know, they definitely had whoever the people were that were preparing her for this debate. They have people that psychologically analyzed their opponents before they go on there and they know like they knew exactly what to do to get under his skin. And a lot of it was getting under our skin as well because we've all been, see that's the thing with the left where they always say that they're so well versed and everything that's going on and all that stuff. But when it comes down to it, we have to listen to both sides of the story at all times because we have all these idiots trying to freaking throw the shit on top of us constantly like we're getting buried. And then we have other people who are explaining it and actually either maybe not rationalizing it, but making it relevant and understandable. Yeah. So we're actually exposed to twice the information that the general low information bullshit voter is going to have. Yeah. And we've had some guests on the show. I know Christina Bob has brought it up a couple times. She feels bad for people like us who have to wade through all the stuff from the other side of the aisle just to be able to build an accurate narrative. And it takes a lot out of you. Unfortunately, probably a lot more for Donald Trump who has to actually live it every single day. And again, he only worked it in a little bit. I wish he would have circled back to it. You didn't have time. You didn't have time. Your lies and divisive rhetoric is probably why I took a bullet to the head, which I think was one of the highlights saying he's a constant threat to democracy and all this other stuff when it's just not true. And it was shortly after he realized that Kamala Harris wasn't going to a answer any questions, b, present anything to the American public and c, be helped out by the moderators that he just began ripping into her. That's here. Going to make this country strong, whether you like it or not, Germany tried that. And within one year, they were back to building normal energy plants. We're not ready for it. We can't sacrifice our country for the sake of bad vision. But I just asked one simple question. Why didn't she do it? We're a failing nation. We're a nation that's in serious decline. We're being left at all over the world, all over the world they left. I know the leaders very well. They're coming to see me. They call me. We're left at all over the world. They don't understand what happened to us as a nation. We're not a leader. We don't have any idea what's going on. We have wars going on in the Middle East. We have wars going on with Russia and Ukraine. We're going to end up in a third world war and it'll be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry. I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban. She gave it to Afghanistan, what these people have done to our country, and maybe toughest of all is allowing millions of people to come into our country, many of them are criminals, and they're destroying our country. So there was that. He talked about the destruction of energy independence. He segued over to how their failed foreign policies have lit the tinder and at least two wars going on on the planet right now, obviously one in the Middle East between Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. And then, of course, you have Russia and Ukraine, which Donald Trump knows is a complete sham. He tried to call them out on it last night and they just completely shut it down. Why did Joe Biden get so much money from China and Russia and Ukraine to just continue to funnel money into this war? And they were like, "Oh, Mr. Trump, we're going to move on. We got a lot of stuff to talk about." But he tried to get it out there. And it's just, you can't take into, and here's the thing. I think after the Joe Biden debate, we were on such a high because it was so bad. We forgot what every other debate that Donald Trump had participated in, or only want to remember the positive soundbites. The Rosie O'Donnell is the only person I would consider it fat pig, or Hillary Clinton because you'd be in jail. You do have to remember all of the other 17 candidates that attacked Donald Trump for the entirety of the debate from top to bottom during that 2016 cycle. How much the system was game against him? Don't you remember what they did to the mics to where he was like... In the first debate with Hillary Clinton, and it became such an annoyance, people were literally turning off the debate because they had the HD whatever turned up on it so you could hear him breathing through his nose the whole time. And then by the time we got to the last debate, whenever Donald Trump would go to those zingers against Hillary Clinton, you'd have both of them, "Oh, Mr. Trump, that's not true. Oh, Mr. Trump, we're going to move on." And then we get into this election cycle. You know, 2020, obviously with Joe Biden, the press, the voters, all of the pollsters said that Donald Trump lost both debates to Joe Biden because Joe Biden ran on a platform that he didn't run for the last nearly four years. He ran as a moderate, he ran as grandpa Joe, he ran as the adults are in charge and America is back. They tricked America into thinking that that was true. So then you get into this cycle, Donald Trump didn't want to participate when any of the junior mafia and the JV team that ran for the fake multiversal Republican primary underneath them, and then he destroyed Joe Biden. So after not participating in the Republican side of the primary season and then absolutely ending Joe Biden's career, just a few short months ago, I think our expectations might have been set a little high. That someone that knows how to memorize lines, how to articulate and would have the system, at least the moderators, game against Donald Trump, was going to go back to what it looked like in 2016 against the Republican candidates, as each one of them fell off the stage, literally and figuratively, and Hillary Clinton. And I, you know, someone who has watched the debate with Hillary Clinton several times over the years, last night's debate, minus the fact that they weren't able to walk around, like they were in one of them, it kind of gave me the same vibes. And I think the voters and the pollsters and everyone involved a lot of the undecideds feel the same way waking up today. So we just need to take into consideration that this wasn't any kind of a failure for Donald Trump, this was Donald Trump having to do, and there were so many people last night who were like, "Oh, Donald Trump and Republicans never need to do this again." Well, here's the deal. No one outside of Donald Trump that comes to mind to me, no, maybe you might have somebody off the top of your head, which candidate could go into a situation just replaced Donald Trump with anybody. Let's just take the most popular people, J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, would any of them have been able to survive in that environment last night in the same context that Donald Trump did? I'll debate you and say probably not. Well, I mean, there may have been somebody who, like I said, psychologically speaking, they were focusing their attention on getting him riled up. There may have been people who would have been a different reaction or may have held their cool more, but it was unfair the stuff that they were saying. So obviously he's going to get pissed off and lose his shit a little bit. When you keep spouting, the most blatant of blatant lies, and then you look at the moderators and they're just like, "Oh, yeah, no, we told her to say that. That's good. That's good." Yeah, Mr. Trump, we want you to answer for that. Can you please talk about the show that the very fine people tell us how fine they were? And he's like, "This is debunked by everybody." Yeah, but just tell us about it. You said it. They're very fine. So tell us why they're fine. They had pitchforks and tiki torches. Tell us. All right, Vice President, he's not going to answer. Do you want to keep piling on? Well, absolutely. Absolutely, David. And it's just like, that's the way it was. It literally was like that. And Kamal Harris tried to snap back early on in the debate. You just heard what Donald Trump outlining the destruction of the energy industry, the way that they've allowed foreign wars to spin out of control and become global issues, and what's going on in the U.S. southern border. And Kamal Harris wanted to push back and said, "Well, we can't remember the past. We've got to turn the page." That's that and the other thing. Let's hear it. So let's talk about what is important in this race. It is important that we move forward, that we turn the page on this same old tired rhetoric and address the needs of the American people, address what we need to do about the housing shortage, which I have a plan for, address what we must do to support our small businesses, address bringing down the price of groceries. But frankly, the American people are exhausted with the same old tired playbook. Same old tired playbook of talking about how open borders is the start of why we have so many problems here in the United States. And that's just a thing. If Kamal Harris is able to win the presidency and finally break through that glass ceiling, the energy industry in this country is gone. The manufacturing industry in greater context will be gone forever. The auto industry will be outsourced forever. And then when you talk about the root causes of migration and what its effects will be on the United States, half a trillion dollars to pay for all the illegals they let into this country, just this year. Imagine all of those people are given amnesty and 50, 60... Imagine all those people are going to get the credits for having children that Kamal Harris was mentioning. Because that's really where that's going, because they mentioned the small business thing, the startup money or however much it was or the credit for new parents. Well, you didn't say that they had to be citizens. What about the first time home buyers as well? Well, that's already a thing. And I think that got blocked. I don't remember. But if it becomes law, what's to say is something that's executively signed? Yeah. The amount of random shit that Joe Biden's going to sign on his way out the door is going to be wild. Well, Donald Trump even tried fact checking Kamal Harris on the unconstitution reality of the student loan forgiveness. And the moderators were like, "Mr. Trump, why are you bringing that up? We're talking about immigration or we're talking about the economy." And he's like, "Yeah, but this is what they do. They have no policies. They go out and they promise all this stuff to people." And then you find out it's unconstitutional. And then he say, "She even talked about banning assault rifles during the 2020 presidential election primary." And during a debate, Joe Biden stopped her and he's like, "For as much as I'd like to do that, we can't do it." And she's like, "Why Mr. Vice President?" And Joe Biden was like, "Because it's unconstitutional. Kamal Harris just looked at him." And she's like, "We need to stop saying we can't do things and need to start thinking we can." And that's literally the book. That's wild. Yeah. Violating the Constitution is a viable alternative for these guys. Well, and people actually fact check that comment. Like she literally said, "We're not taking any of your guns away." Well, maybe they're not taking them, but they're going to do a mandatory buyback. So that's, you know, we're not taking them. You're selling them to us. Which is just semantics at that point. Yeah. Yeah. It's absolutely wild the way that this thing played out. But, you know, we have to be able to address it and point it out for you guys just how this thing was set up in-game against President Trump. And it gets to the point during this debate where you have Kamal Harris saying lies or David Muir promoting them and leaving them as open-ended questions for both candidates. Obviously for Kamal Harris to champion and Donald Trump to try and defend himself and say these are debunked or this is a waste of time. Like when they talked about the election, you know, Donald Trump, you said that you had lost by a whisker. Do you continue to have the same mentality that you, you know, and he's like, "Yeah, I said that as a sarcastic." Oh, so you believe the election was rigged and stolen and you didn't lose? Vice President Harris, did you hear that? Gives her two minutes to like give makeup talking points about it. I was running my stopwatch on a couple of the times when they said you have one minute to respond. It's like she happened to go just perfectly to the end of her point. I think they cut her off once the entire time and not even so much that they cut her off. But she was allowed to still finish the point, but they actually didn't let her respond to something at one point. I don't remember what it was, but it seemed like it would be something where her answer was not going to benefit the whatever talking point that she hadn't memorized for that once she was trying to go off the cuff. It got so bad that Donald Trump was fact-checking both ABC and Kamal Harris in real time. Let's check it out. I'm is down all over the world except here. Crime here is up and through the roof. Despite their fraudulent statements that they made, crime in this country is through the roof. And we have a new form of crime. It's called migrant crime. And it's happening at levels that nobody thought possible. President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country. Excuse me, the FBI defraud, they were defrauding statements. They didn't include the worst cities. They didn't include the cities with the worst crime. It was a fraud. Just like their number of 818,000 jobs that they said they created turned out to be a fraud. President Trump, thank you. I'll let you respond. And they let her respond and she's like, I told you at the top, we were going to hear lots of lies today. Here's just another one of Donald Trump's and then she would listen. Yeah, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, New York, Washington, D.C., are just and Boston, are some of the ones off the top of my head that I can remember that are no longer reporting their crime statistics to the FBI. Yeah, and that's wild. Yeah, that's where all the crime is. It's in the blue cities, in the blue states with no cash bail and deodorant locked up behind plastic. You know, and it's one of those things to where all they had to say was, well, Vice President, there is some truth to what the former President is saying. Some of these cities or states are no longer reporting their crime statistics. How do you say or how can you campaign on that violent crime is down and let her answer? Well, we told the blue states not to do it, so we would look better, just like the jobs numbers. I mean, what else would she have to say? But no, you have to have Donald Trump get all riled up and go after these people because they were just allowing it to happen. And it's absolutely mind-blowing to see how this was like playing out. You know, and then when you talk about the crime statistics, even though he would cycle back to the border and energy, defunding the police was something that this former federal prosecutor has ran on as part of her campaign platform since she was running to be a city attorney in San Francisco, let's hear it. Fracking, she's been against it for 12 years. Defund the police. She's been against that forever. She gave all that stuff up very wrongly, very horribly, and everybody's laughing at it, okay? They're all laughing at it. She gave up at least 12 and probably 14 or 15 different policies, like she was big on defund the police. In Minnesota, she went out, wait a minute, I'm talking now. You don't mind, please. Does that sound familiar? Yeah, she went out in Minnesota and wanted to let criminals that killed people, that burned down Minneapolis, she went out and raised money to get them out of jail. She did things that nobody would ever think of. Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison. This is a radical left liberal that would do this. She wants to confiscate your guns and she will never allow fracking in Pennsylvania. All things that she has verbally campaigned on had on past websites as part of her campaign platform. ABC asked no follow-ups or any development on any of these items. Defunding the police, bailing the people out during the summer of love, banning fracking in the United States or greatly reducing it by over regulations and things of that nature. You name it. Oh, the gun grab, which me and Noah talked about before that clip right there. All of that's nothing. And even when, you know, there was one question where the female moderator asked and like broad stroke to a couple of these things. And Kamal Harris was like, yes, I plan on answering at least the three things that you just outlined there. But before I do, four years ago when we took over the White House, Donald Trump left us, the biggest disaster in the history of disaster. She would say that for a minute and 45 seconds. And then they'd be like, okay, well, getting back to this stuff. And she's like, well, I've already said in 2020 that I wasn't going to ban fracking. And then it was over. That was it. That was it. No accountability, no accord. And Donald Trump had already used the I'm talking. He did one more where he was like in the middle of saying something and you could just hear in the background. He was like quiet. And he like looked at her. Madam vice president and just stared at her until she stopped at it. He started talking, but he dropped one of those perfect Trump quiet and just looked at her. And, you know, we were going to have to go to our old bag of tricks iconic Trump one liners. Noah, we talked about this briefly before the debate started yesterday. I have been able to do some research. And over the last, I would say 12 hours, I've read at least two police reports, seen several body cam footages, watched a couple city councils and even heard a couple 911 calls to where now I could say beyond the shadow of a doubt that in some places, like rural, Ohio, Haitian migrants are eating at least ducks and geese. Yeah, which, you know, migrating birds are protected certain times here. Well, there was also a report of three people for Ecuador that bow and arrowed a bald eagle in Colorado recently and were actually pulled over with the bird in the back of a pickup truck and the guy asked them what they were going to do. And they said they were going to eat it. They were all released on no cash bail because they didn't understand the loss here. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the body cam one where the lady that was like eating the cat, like she might have just been a crazy person and also people trying to defend it were saying that no, no, she's been here for like three or four years already. It's like. Exactly. Yeah. When did all this start? I mean, remember the average IQ of a person in Haiti is 65. So we're barely talking about humans here. I don't care how nice the NGOs dressed them up, how fancy of a cell phones. They give them. You dump these people into, I mean, one of the biggest cities in Haiti outside of the Capitol and a couple of the resort places, which has over 350,000 residents in it, is a place for nearly 20 years, hasn't had electricity, running water, or any kind of services, zero schools. So you can only assume what's going on in that country. And again, these are not people who are coming over here looking for a better life. These are people who are being shipped over here by the Biden administration as part of that TPS. Now planes land in Haiti, pick these people up and deposit them all over the country. So it's just one of the other ways that this administration screwing you over again, something that Kamala Harris was not asked about last night, but when Donald Trump wanted to, I guess get down in a little dirty. He brought up the fact that there's a really good possibility of migrants eating pets. Let's hear it. The biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics, that's because people want to take their country back. Our country is being lost. We're a failing nation. And it happened three and a half years ago. And what's going on here, you're going to end up in World War three, just to go into another subject. What they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people to come into our country and look at what's happening to the towns all over the United States. But a lot of towns don't want to talk. It's not going to be Aurora or Springfield. A lot of towns don't want to talk about it because they're so embarrassed by it. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame. As far as rallies are concerned, as far as the reason they go is they like what I say. They want to bring our country back. They want to make America great against. Very simple phrase. Make America great again. She's destroying this country. And if she becomes president, this country doesn't have a chance of success. Not only success will end up being Venezuela or steroids. Maybe you've heard of it. I just want to clarify here, you're bringing up Springfield, Ohio, and maybe he used to reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community. Don't let me just say here. This is the people on television saying my dog was taken and used for food. So maybe he said that and maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager. But the people on television saying my dog was eaten by the people that went there. Again, Springfield city manager says there's no evidence of that vice president. We'll find out. I'll let you respond to the rest of what you've heard. Springfield city manager, which is most likely a Biden supporter, Kamala supporter, Democrat. Pointing in position. Open borders aficionado. I was actually looking at Instagram and one of the sort of libertarian pages that I follow was posting. It's the Vince McMahon and look as he gets more and more excited until it's like laser eyes at the end. And it's like no one is eating people's pets with parentheses today. The next one is why do you care that people are eating pets and then parentheses is next week. And then after that for next month, it says why eating pets is a good thing. Yep. And then refusing to eat pets is white supremacy. Yep. And that's literally how it's going to go. It's like these people are poor disadvantaged and they should be able to eat animals as they find them. Yeah. I mean, nobody should be debating that this is happening. No. Like a city official, yes, is going to deny, deny, deny. Just like people in California are denying that there's a homeless problem. What, really? Yeah. It's been ugly. And, you know, again, listening to 911 calls, there was one guy. He's like, man, I had seen some shit there. There's a bunch of guys driving around in a Toyota Tacoma. They're like the Haitian guys and they've got like a whole bunch of geese and they're catching them in the park and breaking their neck and throwing them in the back of the truck. And it's just like, you know, you had the guy at the city council meeting last week saying like, dude, I'm sitting at a stoplight by my kid's school and there's a man walking across the street with a goose with no head. And it's a Haitian migrant. Mm-hmm. You know, you have in some of these other instances the people go into the city council meetings where you have African American constituents asking the all white panel like, who is paying you guys to dump these people into our community? And then who's paying for all of them they get taken care of? I mean, obviously you've had a lot more pointed out cries from the constituents there as it is part of rural America, but that's neither here nor there. You know, and Donald Trump would go from trying to defend himself and maybe turn in the corner on some of the bullying that was happening by the three versus one scenario and talked about the weaponization of the justice department, which is something that, again, Kamala Harris wasn't asked about. And here's the deal. Fannie Willis, who has some problems of her own. I don't know if you heard this one, Noah. Last weekend, Fannie Willis's daughter, who's pregnant, was detained for reckless driving. And Fannie Willis and her boyfriend, who she's not admitting to be her boyfriend, showed up. Said the relationship's been over for years and that they don't even really talk anymore, showed up in the same car together. Mm-hmm. Given a roadie, too, probably. Nathan Wade's been to the White House and had an eight-hour on-the-books meeting with White House legal counsel. Fannie Willis has been to the resident of the Vice President and had a face-to-face meeting with Kamala Harris, all before Donald Trump was indicted in Fulton County. None of this stuff was answered. The only thing that was asked to be clarified is if Donald Trump's ready to accept the fact that he's a sex offender and a convicted felon. Let's hear it. Every one of those cases was started by them against their political opponent. And I'm winning most of them, and I will win the rest on appeal. And you saw that with a decision that came down just recently from the Supreme Court. I'm winning most of them. But those are cases. It's called weaponization. Never happened in this country. They weaponized the Justice Department. Every one of those cases was involved with the DOJ from Atlanta and Fannie Willis to the Attorney General of New York and the DA in New York. Every one of those cases, and then they say, "Oh, he's a criminal." They're the ones that made them go after me. By the way, Joe Biden was found essentially guilty on the documents case. And what happened in my document case? Dan asked her about this either. They said, "Oh, that's the toughest of them all." A complete and total victory. Two months ago, it was thrown out. It's weaponization, and they used it, and it's never happened in this country. They used it to try and win an election. They're fake cases. President Trump, thank you. A really quick response here, Vice President Harris, on this notion of weaponization of the Justice Department. Well, let's talk about extreme, and understand the context in which this election in 2024 is taking place. The United States Supreme Court... Shut your mouth. I didn't want to listen to it. You know, and she would go into right there. The Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump in his second term has no guardrails. Can the American people imagine what Donald Trump, being able to jail his political opponents, kill his political opposition? And, well, he said it himself. Be a dictator on day one would look like, "Oh, my God." And David Muir was looking at her like, "Oh, my God." And they both look at Donald Trump. "Oh, my God." And then Donald Trump would be like, "I can't fucking serious." Which would lead me to my next point, is when Donald Trump about... An hour and ten minutes in. Essentially called for the end of the debate. Did you like this part? No. Yeah. Where he said they could pretty much shut it down right now and head on down to Washington, D.C. and get this whole thing taken care of. And Donald Trump wants that southern border closed and secured more than anything. And he said it in a very unique way last night. Let's check it out. I would do, and I would be very proud to do it. I would say we would both leave this debate right now. I'd like to see her go down to Washington, D.C. during this debate because we're wasting a lot of time. Go down to... because she's been so bad. It's so ridiculous. Go down to Washington, D.C. and let her sign a bill to close up the border because they have the right to do it. They don't need bills. They have the right to do it. The President of the United States. You'll get him out of bed. You'll wake him up at four o'clock in the afternoon. You'll say, "Come on. Come on down to the office. Let's sign a bill." If he signs a bill, that the border is closed. All he has to do is say it to the border patrol who are phenomenal. If they do that, the border is closed. Those people are killing many people, unlike J-6. We talked... Do you think Noah? Yeah. I mean, you're in office right now. Anything that you're saying you want to do? Well, Joe Biden's probably not going to argue with any of it because he's on his way. He's not running again. Come on, Joe. We got to sign the paper. Put paper. Just sign the paper. Sign the paper. You know, I noticed this morning at the 9/11 memorial service that Joe Biden had his hands firmly pressed up against the stomach or near the pockets of his suit. And any time, because you know he's a hand-talker, most politicians are, got his hand off of his body. There was a lot of shaking going on there. Yeah. Yeah. And I just don't think he's doing good. And, you know, Kamal Harris would come back and talk about how... And they would both... David Muir and Kamal Harris, the other moderator, would bully Donald Trump on how he essentially killed the Senate agreed on, Alejandro Mayorkas, White House, Chuck Schumer, James Langford, Mitch McConnell, Senate amnesty border closing bill, which would, in some instances, close the border, but allow for at least 2 million illegals to still come into this country every year. In addition, Biden flights wouldn't have to end. And it essentially would open up a pathway to citizenship for everyone that's already here, at least 10 million illegals. And, you know, Donald Trump pushed back as hard as he could, saying, "Listen, you guys keep doing whatever you wanted. Border was safe. No terrorists were coming in. Terrorists are coming in now. People from, like, 140-some-odd countries are coming in here. Some of our worst enemies, they're being allowed to come in here. They're committing heinous crimes. She has no policies. You want to send her a gift. I don't know if she got it. Let's check it out. I'm going to let you respond. First of all, they bought their chips from Taiwan. We hardly make chips anymore because of philosophies like they have, and policies like they have... I don't say her because she has no policy. Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She's going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat. She's gone to my philosophy, but if she ever got elected, she'd change it. And it will be the end of our country. She's a Marxist. Everybody knows she's a Marxist. Her father's a Marxist professor in economics. Good point. And he taught her well. But when you look at what she's done to our country, and when you look at these millions and millions of people that are pouring into our country monthly, where it's, I believe, 21 million people, not the 15 that people say, and I think it's a lot higher than the 21. That's bigger than New York State pouring in and just look at what they're doing to our country. They're criminals. Many of these people coming in are criminals. And that's bad for our economy too. You mentioned before, we'll talk about immigration later. Well, bad immigration is the worst thing that can happen to our economy. They have, and she has destroyed our country with policy that's insane. Almost policy that you'd say, they have to hate our country. President Trump. Thank you. Maybe I'll send her a MAGA hat. I don't know if she got it yet. That was a good one. But it's the truth. And, you know, as we're going to segue right now and cover just a few of the foreign policy points that they highlighted there, and again, they didn't give Donald Trump any credit for anything, but they did allow him to get his point across. I really feel like, you know, when it comes to doing what he needed to do, I think Donald Trump checked that box like Noah said at the top of the segment. Do we feel that Donald Trump got frustrated to the point that it boiled over a couple of times? Yes, 100%. But was he valid in these points there? It wasn't like he was just out name calling and making up stuff. He's being like, what are you guys talking about? This is not what I did in my first term. It's not what I said I'm going to do in my second term. Why do you keep letting her say Project 2025? Why do you keep letting her say suckers and losers? Why do you keep letting her say very fine people on both sides? You know, and it's just like that kind of was the framing of the entire debate.

So for all that you guys have heard so far, you knew there wasn't going to be too much pressure placed on Kamala Harris, even though she is the self-proclaimed last person in the room during the Afghanistan withdrawal. And we just had the memorial date a few weeks ago. Obviously we know the Biden-Harris administration tried to stir up some problems between the Gold Star families who can't stand either one of them. And Donald Trump who showed them nothing but love and affection since the incident occurred. One of the biggest things that we've pointed out here on the show was that ever since that debacle in Afghanistan, no one's been held accountable. And Lloyd Austin is still the Secretary of Defense. General Millie is retired into obscurity and now talks shit about Donald Trump to major think tanks for probably $75,000 a speaking event. Tony Blinken, who was the author of the 51 former intelligence officials, hoax, Hunter Biden laptop document cover up is now the sitting Secretary of State. And one of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's favorite minion, Jake Sullivan, is now just a deep state entity running as a ghost of the Pentagon. Donald Trump wants accountability and he's already put it out there. If these people do not resign by the time he's in office, he will fire them on day one. They didn't fire anybody having to do with Afghanistan and the Taliban and the 13 people who's were just killed, viciously and violently killed and I got to know the parents and the family. They didn't fire, they should have fired all those generals, all those top people because that was one of the most incompetently handled situations anybody has ever seen. So when somebody does a bad job, I fire them and you take a guy like Esper, he was no good, I fired him, so he writes a book. Another one writes a book because with me they can write books with nobody else, can they? But they have done such a poor job and they never fire anybody. Look at the economy, look at the inflation, they didn't fire any of their economists, they have the same people. That's a good way not to have books written about you. I wish he would have brought up Bernstein and Janet Yellen by name, but at least he alluded to them. And then you know General Milley wrote a book, Mark Esper wrote a book. You've got people like Cassidy Hutchinson joins the view, says Donald Trump threw ketchup and cheeseburgers at the walls after he fought two secret service agents in the beast. And the media just gobbled it up like Kool-Aid and said, "You want to know what? Sounds like Donald Trump must be true." And meanwhile you couldn't even fit a shoebox through the hole in between the back and the front of the beast. Donald Trump apparently got enough of his 6'3", 220 pound frame through to fight two secret service agents, one who's like a third degree black belt at the same time while one of them was driving. Seems legit. And one of the weird things that I thought Kamala Harris brought up yesterday, I don't understand what her angle was, but then again, not a lot of people do anyways. No, did you hear the part where she brought up Camp David and hosting the Taliban there? A place where people like both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton hosted the Palestinian Authority and a delegation from the Jewish state trying to come up with a two state solution? Listen, at that point when Donald Trump was in office, we were in a 20 year, what looked like a forever war. Trillions of dollars wasted, millions of people, dead in the wake of what happened in our response to 9/11. And American servicemen and women were getting killed in theater at a time when it wasn't necessarily considered a hot zone. We were in the pre-stages of getting ready to move out of there, but the Taliban was still using snipers to kill American servicemen and women on a pretty frequent basis. So there was going to be some things that they needed to agree to, that Donald Trump wanted them to adhere to as well. If we were going to get out of there in a smooth fashion and make it look like a win for the United States. So why wouldn't you hold a summit at Camp David, a place where so much diplomacy over the decades has happened for this country and some groundbreaking deals have been cooked up there? Well, out of all the things I thought we weren't going to hear at the debate last night, I thought he might talk about Kamala Harris copying his policies, I thought it was funny, he said he was going to send her a MAGA hat. I knew when they were posting memes of the cats and ducks en route from New York to Philadelphia on the plane that we were going to hear something about that and kind of a joke for him. I did not think we were going to hear the name Abdul, but we did, let's check it out. Abdul is the head of the Taliban, he is still the head of the Taliban. And I told Abdul, "Don't do it anymore, you do it anymore, you're going to have problems." And he said, "Why do you send me a picture of my house?" I said, "You're going to have to figure that out Abdul." And for 18 months, we had nobody kill. We did have an agreement, negotiated by Mike Pompeo, it was a very good agreement. The reason it was good, we were getting out, we would have been out faster than them, but we wouldn't have lost the soldiers, we wouldn't have left many Americans behind, and we wouldn't have left, we wouldn't have left $85 billion worth of brand new beautiful military equipment behind. And they wouldn't have given the Taliban bagram air force base either, which is, in the military context, a stone's throw to the nearest Chinese nuclear refining facility as well. And now the Chinese essentially control it. So that's part of the foreign policy failures. I think it's one of the worst failures in the history of our country. How do you look at the Afghanistan withdrawal now and not just outside of the loss of life and what happened at Abigay, just the totality of it? Well, it was unnecessary to happen the way it did. There was a way to do that, which would not. A, put people at risk and B, give away large, tactically operational portions of U.S. infrastructure while trying to leave. There was no reason to leave people behind, which was 100% done. And there's a lot of people that were contractors or translators or whatever you want to call them that were literally tortured because we botched the withdrawal so much. And those people who the Taliban were able to identify as those that collaborated with the United States while we occupied, they're essentially dead now. It's not like we've abandoned them. They've been dead and it was a very long and drawn out death, I would venture to say. I agree. I agree. And then we've had some of our congressmen and women who served during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both kind of confirmed the same. This is what the Biden-Harris administration did to them and to the people who risked their lives as citizens of these countries, secretly or overtly collaborating with the United States Armed Forces while they were in theater. They would segue to Russia versus Ukraine and instead of talking about the only thing that needs to be talked about right now, how to fucking end the war, they asked a question to Kamala Harris on why Donald Trump can't say that he wants Ukraine to win. That Kamala Harris give a long, memorized, developed talking point on that, threw it back to the moderators and said, "You know, again, Ukraine was invaded and they've had the fortitude to stand up to the Russian aggressors. Mr. Trump, can you tell us now that this war ends when Ukraine succeeds?" And Donald Trump was like, "I've already talked about this a billion times. There's nothing to do with who wins. And there's everything to do with the killing to end and the hostilities to cease." Let's check it out. We have a question tonight. Do you want Ukraine to win this war? I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly, people being killed by the millions. It's the millions. It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting with your fake numbers. Look, we're in for $250 billion or more because they don't ask Europe, which is a much bigger beneficiary to getting this thing done than we are. They're in for $150 billion less because Biden and you don't have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO. They paid billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars when I said, "Either you pay up or we're not going to protect you anymore." So that's maybe one of the reasons they don't like me as much as they like weak people. But you take a look at what's happening. We're in for $250 to $275 billion. They're into $100 to $150. They should be forced to equalize. With that being said, I want to get the war settled. I know Zelensky very well and I know Putin very well. I have a good relationship and they respect your president. They respect me. They don't respect Biden. How would you respect him? Why? Why does he even have to rationalize like that, Noah? Mr. Trump, can you please tell us that you want Ukraine to win the war? What kind of a fucking question is that? Yeah, it's ridiculous. In the whole time, Donald Trump's laying this out there. This isn't the other thing. Where did Joe Biden get all this money from? Ukraine and Russia and why are people paying him and his son and this isn't the other thing. They would throw it back to the moderators and the moderators would be like, "Why is President Harris? Did you hear that?" Donald Trump won't confirm that Ukraine needs to win this war and she'd be like, "David, that is why the United States and our relationship with NATO is the only reason why we've been able to stand up to Russian aggression." And then she went into the hole like, "If we didn't do what we did and give Ukraine what we gave them," Vladimir Putin would have his feet up on a desk in Kiev and he'd be looking at the entirety of Europe as the next piece of what he wants to conquer, which we all know 100% not true. If Vladimir Putin did anything outside of the regional border skirmish that he's involved in with right now and became overtly aggressive in a movement towards into the rest of Europe, Russia would be nuclearly annihilated. Don't you agree? They didn't ask Kamala Harris about the real numbers, they didn't ask Kamala Harris about all the money that's been poured in there, they didn't ask Kamala Harris which is an under-skirted headline today. Tony Blinken is trying to work out a way with the State Department on how to use US long-range weaponry to be used in a context in Ukraine against Russia outside of air defense, which means they want US weapons being fired on a long-range basis into Russia. Tony Blinken said, "Today, I plan on coming up with a quick answer to this request from Ukraine." Hopefully it's no, because it sounds like a horrible idea. It sounds like it's even more of a smoking gun that we're basically in a proxy war than it already is. Last piece of foreign policy material I got, why not rounded up with the big three? It's Israel and its fight for survival against Hamas and Hezbollah. We're both being funded by Iran. Speaking of proxy wars, there's another one right there. In some context, I'm sure we're already fighting in that area as well. And listen, Donald Trump went out and said it. Netanyahu came and visited me at Mar-a-Lago right after he spoke to Congress and after you and Joe Biden refused to meet him and listened to his speech. In addition to that, you've armchair quarterbacked the entirety of their response for the massacre because Kamal Harris went into this big thing on October 7th, 2023. The greatest terrorist attack, and you know, Donald Trump goes, "This wouldn't happen if I were the president because Iran knows what would have happened if they would have ordered it." Let's just hear a little bit of the context right now. And where Kamal Harris was when BB Netanyahu came to Washington DC to meet with her and sleepy Joe Biden? Or president, it would have never started. If I were president, Russia would have never, ever, I know Putin very well. He would have never, and there was no threat of it either, by the way, for four years, have gone into Ukraine and killed millions of people when you ended up. Far worse than people understand what's going on over there. But when she mentions about Israel, all of a sudden, she hates Israel. She wouldn't even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers. She wanted to go to the sorority party. She hates Israel. If she's president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now, and I've been pretty good at predictions, and I hope I'm wrong about that one. That's rough. But again, any escalation could lead to Iran getting involved in Israel having to, in greater context, strike Iran, and regionally, what does that mean? Does Iraq get involved against Israel now? Does Turkey, with it's over two million man, military might, and modern weaponry get involved? Saudi Arabia, who sat on the sidelines for the entirety of both of the wars going on right now in the world. Well, the real question should be asked. How did she do at the beer pong table at the sorority party? Perfect. Last clip I've got before we jump in with Texas representative, the best-dressed man up on Capitol Hill. And I can already tell you, as we're watching representative Nell's load up in the green room, he is wearing a very nicely pressed suit and a Donald Trump tie. As he always has on when he's in the halls of Congress is the closing remark from Donald Trump. We're going to listen to his close out in the last clip we've got of our 2024 presidential debate recap. Let's check it out. Yes, she's going to do that. She's going to do all these wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it? She's been there for three and a half years. They've had three and a half years to fix the border. They've had three and a half years to create jobs and all the things we talked about. Why hasn't she done it? She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful White House, go to the Capitol, get everyone together and do the things you want to do but you haven't done it and you won't do it because you believe in things that the American people don't believe in. You believe in things like we're not going to frack. We're not going to take fossil fuel. We're not going to do things that are going to make this country strong, whether you like it or not. Germany tried that and within one year they were back to building normal energy plants. We're not ready for it. We can't sacrifice our country for the sake of bad vision. But I just asked one simple question. Why didn't she do it? We're a failing nation. We're a nation that's in serious decline. We're being left at all over the world. All over the world they're left. I know the leaders very well. They're coming to see me. They call me. We're left at all over the world. They don't understand what happened to us as a nation. We're not a leader. We don't have any idea what's going on. We have wars going on in the Middle East. We have wars going on with Russia and Ukraine. We're going to end up in a third world war and it'll be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry. I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban. She gave it to Afghanistan. What these people have done to our country and may be toughest of all is allowing millions of people to come into our country. Many of them are criminals and they're destroying our country. The worst president, the worst vice president in the history of our country. What do you think, Noah? Yeah, he's not wrong. That was one of the better interactions that he had. Yeah, it was strong and it was correct. It's just a shame that there was a couple of the other things that just felt so iffy. I mean, like I said at the beginning of the show, I did not get a warm fuzzy at the very end of it. But like you said, maybe I need to go and sit through it again where I'm not reacting emotionally to the bullshit where I'm just reacting like I'm literally throwing my hands up by myself sitting there on the couch with the dogs. And I'm like, what the fuck? How can you possibly say that? It was frustrating. That's not a question or that's extremely biased or how is Trump supposed to answer that? I was amazed. I was on the text message with Nick and I was like, holy shit, they just cut her off. Didn't expect that. Yeah. And again, we're going to look into the reactions, the initial reactions, the snap holes, what the markets in the presidential election politics are saying today. I think a lot of people are going to be relieved in our next news segment of the podcast. But right now we're getting ready to jump in with Texas Representative. Troy Nells, before we do a first check in with one of our partners. It's an unpleasant truth that 42% of Americans are obese and 79% of Americans are overweight.

Make America healthy again. All right. Joining us next on the show today. He's the Congressman who represents Texas's 20-second Congressional District. Always glad to catch up with the one and only Representative Troy Nells. Welcome back to the show. Great to be with you. Thank you. Always a pleasure and we've got a bunch of stuff to talk about. So you guys are reconvening up on the Hill this week ahead of surprise, surprise, another continuing resolution and budget battle. There's things to do with the Save Act and you actually have done some work in the Judiciary Committee. So why don't you kind of unpack a little bit of that for our listenership and kind of give a lead in what the Republican conference is looking to get done and over the course of the next couple weeks? Well, we're going to do another CR because we've only passed five appropriations bills. There's a total of 12. We sent the five that we passed over to Chuck Schumer. He's done nothing with him, not one. He doesn't work over there. All he does is plays games over there in the Senate under his leadership. So we're going to have to do a CR or a continuing resolution. And right now I guess Speaker Johnson and others saying, "Hey, we'll do a CR. We'll do it up through March. You don't want to do it the lame duck. We'll do it through March to continue to fend the government because as Republicans, we don't want to shut down the government." I mean, we got some irresponsible spending up here, but to shut down the government 50 something days before President Trump wins this election, I don't think is a very good idea. And we attached the Save Act and that's about securing our elections. We know we don't need illegals to be voting in our elections. We don't need it, but we know what's happening. So we believe that attaching this AVAC to have secure elections for the American people to feel that their vote actually counts. And it's only the American citizens that vote in these elections. That's what the Save Act is all about. But the Democrats don't want it. So when we attach the Save Act to the CR, we send it to Chuck Schumer. It's going to put the Democrats on the record that says that we don't like to Save Act and they support, you know, fraudulent elections. Honestly, I think they enjoy the cheating. Sure. And when you say that's going to go up to Chuck Schumer and come back down to the House, what you're essentially saying is he's going to strip it from the continuing resolution and then put it back in Speaker Johnson's court? That's right. That's exactly what I believe is going to happen. He's not going to want it and he's going to send it back and it's going to then be a clean CR. There's nothing going to be attached to it. And then the House is going to have to figure out what to do. Do we shut down the government? Don't we shut down the government? I'm not in favor of shutting down the government because of dishonest media will totally blame the Republican Party for this because they provide cover for this administration and Chuck Schumer. So I just think the most important part here is not shutting down the government and doing everything we can in the next 50 something days to get Donald Trump back in the White House. That should be priority number one, getting Donald Trump back in the White House. And something that goes hand in hand with that is the House Republicans maintaining and hopefully extending their majority. I think in my personal opinion, I think showing the government down, I'm kind of in the same delegation as you, Congressman, could be hurtful to Republicans heading. You know, when Americans are going out to the ballot box and the way the news media would skew it, you know, Donald Trump told them to shut the government down to try and hurt Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and, you know, now we need to just select Democrats back into power. But Donald Trump essentially looking primed to take back the White House in January. He's going to need the House Republicans to get that legislative locomotive out of the station and rolling again for the American people and losing the House majority to the Democrats is something that could, in more ways than one slow down the process. Exactly. So yes, we need to keep the majority in the House. I think we win the Senate. And of course, if we get the White House, things are going to be really, really good for America and a lot of the crisis is that you see across our country and even across the globe. They'll all go away. They all go away under Donald Trump because we didn't have him in his four years. So I think we do the CR. We do it up through March. So let's do it to the end of March. Donald Trump takes office. And it's, I know immediately on November 5th, once he wins this election. He'll have his team put together a good budget to make sure that when the funding expires at the end of March, that will have a good budget. The American people will accept a good first step to say the least. And then when you when you talk about some of the things that Americans have had to incur under the Biden had ever administration, you know, I saw in Judiciary Committee today, it was on TV. They had some of the victims, the families of those who had suffered under. Well, their policies and the results of that being a lot of the migrant crisis is that are happening across the country, whether it's apartment buildings being taken over, people being raped or murdered, obviously all of this stress they're putting on the educational system, the healthcare system, the workforce, etc. It doesn't seem like you can't turn on your television or even walk out of your home without experiencing some of this. Something that the Democrats said didn't exist just a few short months ago. And I kind of want a little bit of your commentary on how it was sitting through some of that testimony and then knowing that in just a few short months, we have a plausible solution that's going to make sure that things like that. First of all, start happening way less and eventually can be eliminated from happening in the United States period. Yeah, it's heart wrenching. When you listen to these families, these mothers talking about the loss of their daughters or the loss of their son to fentanyl. And it is, it's bothersome and it's shameful. This administration has caused this mess if they would have just done nothing. If Joe Biden would have just kept his pie hole closed and not set anything on January 20th when he is inaugurated and just kept Trump's policies in place because it was the most secure border we've had in decades. And it kept the American people first and kept the American people safe. But nope, couldn't do it. They hate Donald Trump so much. Even if the policies were good for America, just because they were Donald Trump's policies, they reversed them. And now you have to have hearings like this. You hold hearings like this and you hear these stories from these families. One of them is Nungari. I mean, Jocelyn, Ted Cruz in the Senate. And I have the version on the House side. We offer the bill Justice for Jocelyn Act that talks about these migrants coming into this country and they're letting them go, catch and release, and there are beds available down at the southern border. So our act, we try to stop all that. We say if beds are available, you have to put these bad ombre's in these, these holding facilities until their case is adjudicated. But that's not what this administration wants. They're releasing anybody and everybody into our interior and then these guys are committing horrific crimes. And it's just not Jocelyn. It's many, many others. Lake and Riley. So many. Just too many people becoming victims from these, these vicious animals that this administration has allowed to enter our country. And Kamala Harris, you're responsible for this. You are responsible for this. No, she has to take the blame or the blame is due. You know, I even heard Acting DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week. He was sitting in as part of like a town hall question and answer and they got on the whole subject of deportations and he called the philosophy behind it immoral. Like if people come here and he kind of explained it as in their claiming refugee status, we know that an overwhelming majority of the people that have crossed the US Southern border or economic migrants, they're looking to just make a better life and get involved in the American workspace. But, you know, he says it would be immoral to send them back to their countries because they didn't have the same opportunities there that they would have here in the United States. Meanwhile, you have everyone from middle class families all the way down and not saying down the rung, but including veterans who just get passed over constantly and overlooked by not only the government, but their communities because, you know, the amount of time, effort, and I guess half a trillion dollars a year. And some people have alluded to says it costs to facilitate the amount of illegals that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have led in this country over the course of the last three plus years. There's no question about it. Donald Trump, I think the Republic about it, we all support legal immigration, legal migration coming into this country, but you go through it the legal way. Sure. And I'll tell you, there's a lot of individuals over here on visas and stuff. They don't like these individuals, these illegals coming here through, you know, just sneaking across the Southern border undetected. They don't like them coming here because they're taking jobs away from migrants that are here that have gone through the process legally with their visas and everything else. And they're taking jobs, honestly, from the American people. So this is a catastrophe. It's a crisis. It's a crisis at our southern border. And there's only really one man willing up to the task to secure this country again. And that's Donald J. Trump. He did one hell of a job during his four years and he did it really on his own because we had a weak Congress speaker, Ryan Paul Ryan. He was a failure. He didn't really want to help Donald Trump secure the southern border. So we bring Donald Trump back. The American people love Donald Trump. They're going to bring them back. They know we can't afford. We can't sustain what we've seen, not only at the southern border, but the crime, the inflation, everything, endless wars. Donald Trump, we need him back so bad and the American people are going to support him and elect him on November 5th. Well, segueing a little bit and sticking in the threat of President Trump, a lot of the items that you just outlined, they're the top table items for most Americans, how it's affecting them, the economy, the border, safety, geopolitical footing, et cetera, are going to be on full display tonight at the presidential debate. Kind of want to get your commentary leading in. I mean, President Trump, if you look at his past record in 2016 with the 17 other Republican candidates and then Hillary Clinton, obviously Joe Biden, a little bit earlier this year where he essentially ended his political career. Now we have our second presidential debate. First match up between President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, but as he plans on going in and what methodology he may use tonight to kind of expose her to the American public as she's been kind of, well, how can you say this? Astro turf through the mainstream press with almost no pushback. You know, what do you think President Trump is going to do based off his past debate history to make sure he comes out of this thing with a big W? Well, the advantage President Trump has versus Kamala is President Trump has truth on his side. If he talks about his policies and the results of his policies for the four years, as it relates to issues that are important to the American people, such as the economy and the southern border and inflation, energy independence. I mean, Donald Trump did it all. This country was on cruise control under his four years, and now in the past three and a half years Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have completely destroyed it. So if President Trump stays focused on those issues and the results of his policies, he'll clobber this woman. He really will. And Kamala, she's a flip floppy, right? She flip flops on the issues, whether it's the fracking issue, the Xari, she not desire. I think the American people, I really truly believe that the electorate, that people are smart enough to not put Kamala Harris as our commander-in-chief. They have to be smarter than that. I mean, look it, she's not too bright. We all know it. She's not too bright. She's never been an all-star in this party. I mean, she never got one vote. She dropped out. And I think she's kind of gone from zero to hero. It appears overnight by all of a sudden them, her base, the left, the base. The far left socialists have controlled the Democrat party, and they've anointed her, but I think bad, bad move. Donald Trump is going to win the debate tonight. He obviously ended Joe Biden's career, as you just mentioned. So I think the American people are smart enough to know we need a strong, effective, bold, dynamic leader in Donald Trump, and that's exactly what's going to happen here on November 5th. Oh, those are some great points you make, Congressman. You know, you had Joe Scarborough on his show just about a year ago saying that she was actually the millstone that was tying down Joe Biden's candidacy and that it would be essentially easy to replace her because nobody cares through the vice presidential candidate is once the ticket becomes finalized. In addition, you even had, as recently as last weekend, Independent Senator Bernie Sanders saying that, "Well, I don't think Kamala Harris has abandoned her progressive ideologies. However, I think she's just saying what she needs to do to get elected, and then we'll kind of figure out what kind of a politician it is." When you see those kind of receipts being produced, and the fact that the media has kind of scirted them, I think the greatest point you make, the American electorate has woken up. You know, you see more people resonating in the polls. I'm talking about the cross tabs, obviously minorities, different demographics, that normally wouldn't come under the MAGA tent. And I mean, Donald Trump had a galvanized base coming out of the RNC, which has allowed him to add people like Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr. to the ticket. I think he's done a lot more this cycle to ensure that the, well, the election's too big to rig moving forward, and I kind of want your opinion and commentary on that. Once the debate is over tonight, we're going to be hitting the ground running, and then it's the final leg of the spring until November 5. Yeah, and you can't trust the dishonest media to go out there and speak truth to the American people because they've been providing cover for this administration, Democrats for years. But we've got a bunch of money, the Republican Party, we're going to define her for who she truly is because, quite honestly, a majority, I think a lot of people really never really knew who Kamala Harris was. Sure. So we're going to define her. You look at what her positions were back in 2019. There was a survey done with the ACLU where she talked about supporting. She didn't want to see any more ICE detainers. So just release everybody. Don't detain anybody. We don't want to lock anybody up. And she provided, she said, I support funding, government funding, taxpayer funding for transition for migrants for illegals that are here. So her policies are so far left, so scary, and so dangerous for the American people. We're going to let the American people know over the next 60 days, we're going to define her for who she truly is. And see, she's a far left socialist. She's nuts. And again, she's not too bright. She is not the person we should have leading our country for the next four years because we'll get nothing but the same old, same old destruction in a crisis at every corner like we've seen. The American electorate has to be smarter than that. And then the last thing I want to kind of leave with you with Congressman, I think it's really important. You mentioned the course of the last less than 60 days now before we have Election Day, I mean early voting starting essentially almost in the next couple of weeks in some states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, etc. How important is it for, you touched on a little bit earlier in the interview, Speaker Ryan and the different format or the different makeup of the Republican Conference back when Donald Trump became President the first time. It's a lot different now. I mean, you're wearing a President Trump tie. We've seen so many people out on the campaign trail who go to his rallies and get time speaking. He lends a lot of praises to you guys that have really done the legwork for him out on the campaign trail and some of these battleground states and beyond across the country to run alongside President Trump. To make sure he pulls everyone over the finish line in November and that together you guys can retain that House majority half him back in the White House. Obviously, it looks like we're going to flip the Senate and then, well, I hate to be cliche, but make America great again. Yeah, that's great. You know, I've been spending a lot of time up in Wisconsin campaign and for the boss. Obviously, that's a swing state. I think we can win it. I was with him on Saturday at his rally. He had a great rally up in Mosanine and the American people, the people specifically in Wisconsin see that their lives were better. Their lives, their families' lives were better under Donald Trump during his four years. And I try to take the emotion out of the argument and let's vote for the policies of the individuals. If you look at his policies over his four years and then you look at Kamala Harris who's trying to distance herself now from Joe Biden, I mean, it's been a disaster. So to me, quite honestly, this is a no-brainer for me and I think the American people will see through. She's fake. You can't trust her and she lies. That's what she does. And they have the dishonest way that you should provide this cover, but the American people are smarter than that. I have to believe we got to pray for this country and believe that the electorate is smart enough to not put a woman in there, to not put her in there because she has no record. If she does, it's nothing but failures. So, you know, pray for our country and pray for Donald Trump. He loves this country. He wants to make America great again, and he puts us. You, I, the American people first, and that's what I love about the man. No, the work that you guys have done in those blue wall and battleground states, the Rust Belt, et cetera, talking about the manufacturing industry, the auto industry, the energy industry, the agriculture industry. How much and how fast Donald Trump can turn those, you know, families and their businesses around once he gets back in the White House. I think it's a critical component of the election. It's not talked about enough out on the campaign trail or in the mainstream press. We got a chance to catch up with you on today, Congressman, and as always, this has been a pleasure catching up with you. We've got your congressional website, live link in the show description. If anybody wants to find you on social media or anywhere else, where can they check you out? You get me at @RepTroyNails, @RepTroyNails. And as always, it was absolutely fantastic catching up with the Congressman who's representing Texas 22 out there fighting for all of America first. Representative Troy Nails, thanks for joining us on the show. Sir, have a great rest of your week. Thank you, God bless. She wouldn't answer the most important question she was asked all night. Are Americans, she was asked this. Are Americans better off today than there were four years ago? She didn't even answer it. She went on to talk about how she was born to a middle-class family, raised in Canada for part of that time, and what apparently is not a middle-class neighborhood. But nonetheless, she went into her biography, and I think she was exposed tonight. The talking heads, you know, they analyze this because they all want to pretend like Kamala Harris was born on July 24th of this year. She has a record. She has a record as a Senator, and she has a record as Vice President. And Americans tonight got a glimpse of what she really believes, what she really stands for, and what direction she'll actually take our country. And I think that was a big win. A big win. Let's jump back into the news portion of the show here on our special Wednesday edition. 2024 Presidential Debate Recap episode of "Stake for Breakfast." I'm Ro Noah Still here, although he's chuckling. Yo. And I guess we are going to get into what some might consider the debate recrap as we're going to brand it right here. Following Donald Trump and Kamala Harris exiting the stages. They went in different directions, not just morally, ethically. Or philosophically, but literally in different directions as well. Kamala Harris immediately left the ABC News Studios, was whisked away to a campaign fundraiser event where everybody told her that she did the best job in the history of Presidential debates. And Donald Trump, I believe he probably went to the restroom because as we're going to find out in a couple of minutes, when he reappeared, it was not in a place that anybody thought he would be directly following the debates. But that was Florida Senator Marco Rubio kind of leading into what we kicked off our debate coverage with. Them asking Kamala Harris about the last three and a half years and her providing absolutely no answer on it. Little Marco, who might be medium-sized Marco now since he's out stumping for President Trump, would continue on his point and talking about one of the things that was exposed, because she didn't deny any of it, was when President Trump was accusing her of the radicalist, Marxist policy. She wants to inflict in this country in her radical background. Let's hear it. Tonight for the first time, despite the best efforts of these moderators, Americans began to learn that this was someone who was raising money to bail rioters at the party. This was someone who said she wanted to defund ICE. This was someone who basically said that we should be paying for the sex change operations of illegal migrants in detention. This was someone who accused the Border Patrol of whipping Haitian migrants at the border. And this is someone that has been in the White House for four years talking about all these things she's going to do. They've done none of them. She talks about immigration and this bill. They have the power and the law right now to enforce our immigration laws. She has no campaign plan. She just unveiled her policy plan. It was literally, I'm not saying this, New Republic. A liberal left-wing magazine is saying it. She literally cut and paste it from the Joe Biden platform. She did cut and paste it. And so think about it. She is Joe Biden and worse because of what she stood for in 2019. 56 days. Easy there boomer sweats. Sean Hannity hosted the post-debate recrap on Fox News yesterday. And listen, they brought out a lot of the big guns. I mean, Senator Rubio was good. Who we're going to listen to next, which is RFK Jr., was also, you know, well prepared to be able to answer the questions. But it's going to be two clips from now and not lion Ted, but lion Ted Cruz who was out there. In the wake emotionally of me not feeling satisfied with the way the debate shook out, I jumped right onto the news. I had like news nation on one screen. I had Newsmax on another screen. Obviously, I'm always watching CNN because at least at the very end of the day now, Scott Jennings could come in there and make me feel a little bit better. But I was watching the Fox News recap and when Ted Cruz came out and gave his answer that we're going to hear in just a sec, you know, it was a little bit relieving to see the way he kind of ingested the debate and what he thought Americans and how they would be responding to it as well. No, when you hear Senator Rubio kind of say, number one, she didn't answer for anything, they covered literally nothing that has happened in the last three years during that debate last night, nothing, literally. They talked more about January 6th, suckers and losers, very fine people. You love dictators. You wrote love letters to Kim Jong Un. I'm not even joking. All this stuff is literally the things that they said, you're a liar, Project 2025, national abortion ban. Those words were uttered more last night during the 90 minute debate than anything that's going on with this country right now, outside of what President Trump, who I'm watching on TV right now, is in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, what looks like families of the fallen from flight 93 and first responders. He's taking pictures with them right now live on Fox News. But all of those things that I just said were talked about more than anything going on in this country right now, don't you agree? Yeah, 100%. And some of the things that Donald Trump pointed out, the transgender sex changes for illegals, the bailing out of the rioters during the summer of love and all of the other radical Marxist policies that, you know, ending fracking and open borders forever plus amnesty. Those are all the things that Kamala Harris taking away your guns, a federal and executive ban on what they call assault rifles. These are all things that she has physically ran off of over the course of the last four years, and none of it was developed. And Senator Rubio kind of takes that into context. RFK Jr. was brought up next. He was talking about how, well, outside of the bullshit that they weren't talking to Quall Harris about and how they were trying to bury Donald Trump under a bunch of hoaxes and witch hunts. What did the absolute disgrace the moderators were? And David Muir and his, I don't know, DEI counterpart, let's hear him. We had moderators who were clearly biased, who were constantly fact-checking Donald Trump. And none of these kind of whoppers that the Vice President was saying, and none of her failure to really explain that, answer that first question, that very, very critical first question. They simply sat there on the sidelines and allowed that to pass. And that's why I'm glad as we led into our coverage today, retrospectively, armchair quarterbackedly. I felt I knew where this debate was going within the first six, seven minutes after I saw the way Kamala Harris wasn't going to answer the question. Very basic one. Do you think America is better after 3.5 plus years of you and Joe Biden being the President and the Vice President? And then it was just word salad barfing and deflection back at Donald Trump and leading into all the things that they were going to hammer him on when Donald Trump was like, "Okay, if we're going to do this, I'm jumping right into the open borders." And they're like, "Oh, well, Mr. Trump, she has the questions for the topics memorized. We have to go in this order." So we'll talk about the border later. Lots of things we want to cover, Mr. President. But RFK Jr., you know, said the moderators were a complete embarrassment. It is really good that RFK ended up where he ended up as in supporting Trump because there were so many people that may have been anti-Trump pro RFK that are now... Well, I'm still going to listen to this guy a little bit, so it kind of cracks the shell a little bit around what everybody thinks about how fair and actual, you know, even killed this moderation was on this event. Yeah, that's what we'll call it. You want to know what I was like, I was struggling. The shit show of whatever, this event. No, you make an excellent point, and I was actually thinking in my head last night watching RFK Jr kind of commentate on the behavior of the moderation in addition to what Tulsi Gabbert said in regard to Kamala Harris's performance. I was like, "You want to know what? You want to know what's going to move the needle as having these two in addition to others out on the campaign trail talking to people." Yep, their voices are the ones that's going to move the needle outside of the base that Donald Trump has already galvanized. And, you know, like I said, at the top of the segment, we had gone through a couple people who right after it ended. We're kind of providing commentary, and it was about, you know, 30, 40 minutes into the coverage that Ted Cruz entered the fray via satellite on Sean Hannity's post-debate recrap, and kind of gave a little bit of his insight into it, which quite honestly made me feel better. And listen, I've got to say tonight what Kamala demonstrated is, number one, she cannot defend her disastrous record. Her record is an absolute train wreck, so instead what she did, what we saw tonight in this quote debate was her repeating memorized set pieces from her stump speech and from her convention speech. The very opening question, the most important question in any election, are you better off now than you were four years ago? She refused to answer that because she couldn't answer that because nobody, unless you are a Mexican drug lord, nobody else is better off than they were four years ago. So she didn't answer that. Instead, she's like, "I'm from a middle-class family. I want things better for you." And no aspect on inflation, she didn't address that she cast the tie-breaking vote on trillions of dollars of spending that caused inflation, hurting Americans across this country. On energy, she didn't address that she and Joe Biden have waged war on American energy over and over and over again, driving up the cost of gasoline and everything else for Americans. On the border, she didn't address her own personal responsibility, the invasion, the crime, the murders, the women sexually assaulted, the children brutalized. She didn't take responsibility for any of that. And then on foreign policy, I actually thought on foreign policy, she was the weakest. It was absurd when she turned to Donald Trump and says, "Well, everyone knows you were weak and ineffective." Listen, if Donald Trump were still in the White House, the two wars that broke out under her leadership and Joe Biden's would not have happened. Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and we would not have the war in Israel. And she took no responsibility for that weakness, nor did she have a word to say about the over $100 billion that she and Joe Biden have flowed to Iran. All of her records she ran away from and I got to say, the ABC moderators were complicit in her running a completely fact free debate performance. And again, the man makes a lot of sense. He speaks a lot of truth. And like I said, it made me feel better knowing that I think all of us emotionally in the moment, much like President Trump at times during the debate, got kind of caught up in the moment and weren't looking at it as a major win until you come out and start to think about, okay, was Donald Trump able to get his policy platform across? Yes, in some context. Was he able to defend Trump-era policies, parts of the Trump doctrine? Yes, both economically in regards to border security and very poignantly on foreign policy? Was he able to hit Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the last three years? Yes, he did that too. Did he have a couple Trump moments? Absolutely. There was the eating of the dogs and cats. I'm going to send you a MAG hat and there was the quiet I'm talking. So when you look at it and for the fact that at this 90 minute debate, probably, I don't know, over an hour of it was given to Kamala Harris not taking responsibility for anything that's happened to this country or providing a vision for what it looks like over the course of the next four years, I said, you want to know what this comes off as a lot more of a win than I think a lot of people originally speculated it might be for President Trump. And that's when I said, you know, I got to watch this thing again, so I waited until the replay came on after the post game coverage and jumped right into it. And it was during Ted Cruz speaking that the cameras were getting ready to take to the floor. They did have a spin room there where you would usually get Trump and Harris campaign surrogates. And I had already mentioned that the entire Harris team immediately after she was done with her close out was whisked away to a campaign fundraiser. Donald Trump, after what I can only expect was a short trip to the bathroom, then emerged right in the middle of the spin room. Probably the last place that anybody thought he'd appear following debate. Let's check out some of the stuff he had to say. I believe the former President is talking to reporters. My best debate ever, I think. And we had a, it was very interesting, it showed how weak they are, how pathetic they are, and what they're doing to destroy our country and the border with foreign trade with everything. And I think it was the best debate I've ever personally, that we're getting polls that showed 92 to 6, 88 to 11. So having a lot of great polls that just came out here, polls against phone calls and lots of other polls, but you see the polls, a very important debate. Now, she wants to do another one because she got beaten tonight, but I don't know. Why weren't you looking at her? Why don't you look at her? The polls are indicating that we've got 90%, 60%, 72%, 71% and 89%. So the polls are very good. Beyond the polls, I felt very good, I had a good time doing it. I hate to speak about our country so negatively, but that's what happened, they ruined our country. They destroyed our country, so I hope you're all having a good time. But it was a very interesting. Why are you here? Why not let the performance speak for itself? Well, I think it did, but people said when I come here, and I made an obligation to a couple of people, so I didn't want to do this show. But what about the problem? I thought it was a great day. What is your reaction to Taylor Swift's endorsement? What is your reaction to Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris? I have no idea. What is your reaction to Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris? When Republicans are complaining about moderators, does that mean that it wasn't a good time for them? No, I thought the moderators were very unfair. But it basically was 3-on-1. But I thought they were very unfair. The moderators, everybody did. But despite that, they're saying that the debate was-- What are you doing today? What's your reaction to Taylor Swift's endorsement of the president? Yeah, I assume the moderators would be there. That right there is the worst of all the news that works in my opinion. We went to the ABC News side. She wants a second debate because she lost tonight very badly. They immediately call for a second debate because they lost. So we'll think about that. But she immediately calls for a second. We're looking at-- What is she doing? We're looking at calls. The worst call that we've had was 71% to like 24%. We'll leave it at that as he would go on for a couple more minutes before he headed over to the Fox News studios. You know, and it was some of those polls that came out directly after. And let's look at some of these numbers real quick, Noah. So here's CNN. Their snap poll immediately following the debate. The question is, who would handle the economy better? Before the debate, Donald Trump was up 53 to 37%. The snap poll that was conducted directly after had Donald Trump increases lead by two percentage points, 55 to 35%. And that's probably because Kamala Harris didn't offer anything during the debate. Don't you agree? Oh, well, she has no vision on the economy. She has no plausible plans to do anything to fix it because everything they're proposing benefits everyone except United States citizens. So therefore, it wouldn't surprise you that Donald Trump would increase two percentage points over the course of the debate in a CNN poll. Oh, really? On items like the economy, 55 to 35 afterwards, 53 to 37 beforehand. I mean, I like it. I am a little surprised. Pauli Market had Donald Trump up by seven points heading into the debate this morning. They both sit at 49 percentage points apiece. So a loss of essentially an evaporation of seven points. But coming out of the debate, I think the bump is what's going to be telling over the course of the next three, four days as we head into the weekend and then the polls that will come out on the Sunday morning news circuit, which we'll have full coverage of on next week's Tuesday edition of State for Breakfast. Opposed debate? Paul, the question, who won the debate from the Democracy Institute and Express News? This is 600-- Moderators. 600-- There's one. 600 legal voters. You know, it is factored in here. And this is from the Democracy Institute, a polling organization that is famous for nailing almost down to a tenth of a percentage point, the exact outcome states electoral and popular vote victories in the 2016 presidential election. Donald Trump, 45% Kamala Harris, 34% draw, which would be the moderators, 21%. So there you go. Yeah. 21% of people thought it was a draw. Yeah. Well, I'm looking now at a new general election poll that came out this morning. This poll had Kamala Harris up by two yesterday afternoon. And this morning from the Economist has Trump, 45, Harris, 45. So Donald Trump made two percentage points up in the Economist poll. And then Reuters, as we're going to get into, listen into a little bit of these focus groups who watched the debate last night and some of their commentary, they had 10 undecided voters who were interviewed after watching the debate, post-debate last night. Six of them are now backing Donald Trump. Three of them are backing Kamala Harris and one remains undecided. This is amazing news as Reuters is historically known to be a left-leaning news outlet to say the least and no big fan of Donald Trump. So that's some of the stuff that we're seeing kind of materialized today. But let's listen to what the actual voters were saying. I saw a couple pieces on CNN last night. They had a panel of, I believe, eight people. And here's a veteran who was either on the fence or maybe even leaning towards Kamala Harris out of Pennsylvania who after watching Kamala Harris' answer about Afghanistan and Donald Trump highlight the critical failures that happened there. Because remember, a lot of people who don't necessarily dial into politics, they don't get to hear all the stuff that we play all the time from the Trump rallies or when he's doing these speaking events. They only get to see Donald Trump when he sits down for a major town hall on CNN or Fox News or of course at these debates. So let's listen to his answer and check it out. You're a veteran. There are obviously personal feelings here as well. That answer, and it's been an issue that he's talked about constantly on the campaign. What stood out to you for? When I first heard that we were abandoning or we were withdrawing from Afghanistan and the way it was happening, I had my Kennedy moment. It was very similar to when we decided to invade Iraq back under President Bush. And when I saw that we were leaving that amount of high-tech equipment in the hands of our enemy and later that day or later that week, I saw on the news where them celebrating with our guns in their hands. I realized what a travesty that was, A, in the loss of money in that we abandoned when we left, plus the very bullets that we left there that they were shooting at us as we flew away into planes. Yeah, leaving ammunition there, that's ridiculous. There should have been some sort of incendiary device or something into these ammo depositories or whatever you want to call it. There's no fucking way. It's one thing to, I would say that they probably did disable some of the vehicles, but some of that stuff was left untouched and intact. And they continue to parade around with it every year on the anniversary of the withdrawal. And remember, for as fast as the Iranians and the Chinese moved in there to help the Taliban get back on their feet, you don't think that they have the ability to fix American jeeps and mid-level helicopters and stuff like that, like they're using... Yeah, half of the components are made in China probably, so they just have the Chinese counterparts help us fix it, help them fix it. Yeah, disconnecting the steering wheel, cutting the brake lines. It's something that could be easily remedied once you're completely absent of the threat of the American military. I saw another one, another part of this town hall. And again, this was on CNN. So there you had an undecided voter who saw the Afghanistan response and is now leaning Trump. And here's another undecided voter. I believe this is a woman who, throughout the course of the 90-minute debate, can hear anything about Kamala Harris offering to better her life. Let's check it out. Who do you think won by a show of hands for President Trump? I'll get it for, but tentative, too over there. What about Vice President Harris? More hands? For those of you who thought this debate could be determinative, how many of you have made up your minds based on what you saw tonight on stage in Philadelphia? Raise your hands. All right. I want to ask you why. What did you see that brought you to a conclusion? I think it's important to remember that we are voting for the leader of our country and not who we like the most or who we want in our wedding party, but who is actually going to make our country better. And we're in an incredibly unique situation where we've had both of the candidates in office before, and we've gotten to see what they would do. And when facts come to facts, my life was better when Trump was in office. The economy was higher, and it was lower. Things were better overall. And now with Kamala's administration, things haven't been so fantastic. And she's saying she can fix the problems that her administration has caused, but I just don't know if I can afford to take that risk. Were you leaning towards the former president coming in tonight? Probably. And did you reform in 2016 or 2020? I did. That doesn't matter. There was 13 people in the focus group. Six had said they were voting for Donald Trump. Seven for Kamala Harris, and she was a little bit reluctant to raise her hand when he asked because they asked about Trump first. And she was right in the front row, so she couldn't look around. So he's like, oh, yeah, it is a soft target right here. And then he goes. She gives the answer that everybody says in the show that Donald Trump uses during his campaign. And they've absolutely destroyed the middle class, and they're going to finish you guys off if they win the election in November. And they had to eat that one pretty bad. So I switched gears and switched channels. Staying in the state of Pennsylvania and with the focus group as well. This one was a little bit smaller. ABC News did the same thing. They had a group beforehand. Oh, yeah, I'm voting for Trump. I'm voting for Harris. Is the debate going to do anything to change the needle for you? Yeah, it could. We'll have to see how it goes. And then they're doing the recap. Now, okay, let's throw back to the focus group and see if anything has changed. And, well, here's one thing I know ABC News didn't want to hear, and that was on the parrot-like nature that Kamala Harris had during the debate last night, in regards to all the answers that she provided for the American public letter. He spoke fast. She just basically repeated everything that Biden has said in the past. What were your thoughts? She made Donald Trump made a strong closing statement by saying, "Why didn't they do all the things that she's proposing during the three and a half years?" They've been in the office, and Biden did this entire moderate stance back in 2020. And she's trying to do it again in 2024. Hey, go gen Z voter. She didn't talk about her policy changes between 2020 and 2024. Her whole centrist, moderate stance is just a facade. How do you feel about that one? No, that's pretty good. Yeah, it was what looked like a childless cat lady, African American man, black woman who you heard from first, old woman, young kid, and what looked like a Hispanic or Indian man. That's what made up their focus group. And two out of the, they asked the child, probably first time voter based off looking at his age. And then they asked the, she looked like she was about, you know, typical mother's age, African American woman. Those were the two people you heard from. The first person said like, "Dude, she said all the same shit that Joe Biden has." And then you've got like the gen Z voter who's literally like, "Yeah, we heard all this crap four years ago. This is literally a facade." And the moderator for ABC was like some, you know, intern, DEI hire young black chick, and she's just sitting there like holding the mic, and she looks so frustrated. As they try, they just do the eye test. They probably don't even ask these people who they're voting for. They just find the most non-caucasian people and throw them into a room and then think they're going to get the prefab dancers that they've gotten for the last several decades. When I don't even think these news outlets know, and this is a huge thing. They don't understand how bad America is hurting. Because they don't care about reporting the news. No, they have zero fucks given for what's best for America at all. And they have no eye. Like they go to these diners and they're like, "Oh, yeah, who you voting for?" People say they're voting for Trump and they just blow them off. You know, it's like they don't want to hear why are you voting for Donald Trump. Well, hold on, poor. And all the eagles are raping and killing everybody. Now they're eating pets. And every system in this country is completely taxed. We have no southern border and there's wars breaking out all over the planet. I don't like the way that makes me feel I want a different president. And for people in these focus groups coming out of the debate saying like, "Yeah, Kamala Harris sounded better. President Trump got frustrated a couple of times, but she didn't say anything that was going to change what's going on right now." And even for the fact that Gen Z voter went out and said like, "I really think Donald Trump had a great closing statement." That's what you said when you heard it when we played it back on the show today. And you wish you would have heard more of that through the debate. Obviously the stipulations and circumstances that happen throughout the debate when they're like literally, "Mr. Trump, your piece of crap. Can you please elaborate on that?" You know, when that was pretty much the debate format, you knew it was going to go off the rails a couple times. I actually think it didn't go off the rails as much as I might have heard by just watching some headlines, but you like Donald Trump's closing statement. No, he kind of hit on all the points and brought it home. Yeah. Dr. Phil, last focus group I've got. He did a watch party and like, you know, he has his big studio there. It's like the theater. They watched it on the big screen and then he was talking to the audience afterwards and in questioning what he identified as an undecided voter going in, wanted to know after hearing Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate for 90 minutes, that she give you or satisfy the need you have in what you need to take to the ballot box on November 5th. Let's check it out. This debate, which was really hyped as being a big thing, did this under deliver or did it deliver? Did this actually mean something to you in the back? Stand up. Hi, my name is Shelley. I'm also standing. I think, you know, I really came into this with an open mind. I really, really wanted Vice President Harris to hit it out of the park. I don't think she did. I think she did better than some people expected her to. The cackle was not there. I kept waiting for it. It didn't come. This is a Harris supporter talking about the cackles. I didn't get answers to fundamental questions that we need to know as voters. And we just keep getting circled around that. Like what? What did you not get an answer to? Her economic plans. What is an opportunity economy? What does that mean? Who's paying for the tax cuts that she's proposing? Because, in my opinion, giving people down payment assistance on houses just drives inflation up higher. Who's paying for all of these child tax credits? That's just the taxpayers coming out of pocket and hurting the middle class again. So I don't think that we got to the meat and potatoes of the things that really matter. And we know from Donald Trump's presidency before, he can fix the economy. So I was really looking for her to make an impact on my thought process tonight. And she didn't deliver that. That's a white middle aged woman, probably typical Dr. Phil and Joyer right now. Who says with her lead in, I literally want to vote for Kamala Harris. But I physically can't based off of what I saw tonight. And then she has to fall back on, well, whether I like him or not, Donald Trump knows how to fix the economy. And he's actually done it before. She hasn't. So it was pretty wild to see it kind of spin like this. And when Donald Trump sat down with Boomer sweatshaun Hannity after meeting with the press gaggle in the spin room, he had a couple things you want to talk about. Namely, what's on the menu? Let's check it out. You look at Springfield, Ohio. Look at what's happening there. You look at Aurora in Colorado. These beautiful little towns and little cities, small cities. They're being taken over by illegal migrants. I mean, the people that poured in, and they have weapons like our military doesn't have. You know, they have AK-47s. They have weapons like our military doesn't have. And you know, some sheriff in one of these towns where he's got two deputies and they're not into this. There's no way they could protect the people from this. But look at what's going on in Springfield today. It's nobody's ever seen anything like that. I don't think anybody ever wants to see anything like it either. And then came the question of the second debate. Now, Noah, after seeing what you saw last night, what would you think it would take for Donald Trump to agree to sit down with Kamala Harris again, or stand as that was the original stipulations for another debate? I mean, they're obviously claiming victory. That's why they want another one. They think they can maybe essentially at some time in late October finish off Donald Trump. Never going to happen. Donald Trump claiming victory thinks that she did it once based off of her track record. She's never going to be able to reciprocate the performance that she had last night, which I thought was at very best. It was like a 6.7 out of 10. Yeah. Well, I mean, her thinking she did well might embolden her to actually accept the second one, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I don't think they're going to gamble twice with exactly what happened to Joe Biden. I mean, she pulled this off fairly well with the moderator's help, but that's only because there was no wiggle room for her canned answers. Yeah. If she wasn't the first person to start, and Donald Trump was setting the tone of the conversation, it'd be another story because she wouldn't be able to have these. I mean, she obviously had these things prepared based on what the responses were, but that only goes so far. Charlie Hertz said today on Fox News, ABC gets a D minus and that's being generous for their performance last night. The network's moderators were so blatantly biased against Donald Trump that it vindicated his criticism of ABC as dishonest. Again, remember, Donald Trump is suing not only the ABC entity, but George Slabadopoulos, how he points out both legal items on the campaign trail all the time. This was like a perfect storm for the Democrats and being able to get back at Donald Trump without having to pay a dime. And you would think in some context, it might have worked out that way. And the other thing breaking from ABC News is they are deploying a reporter to Springfield, Ohio in attempt to verify or debunk Donald Trump's migrant pet eating hooks. So we're going to get a disposition on that at some point in the near future. The fact that they're saying that that's a hoax is actually going to draw more attention to it than anything else because as people on the left try to find ways to debunk it by searching out articles and information about it, they're going to see that it is true. Yeah, stuff that hasn't been reported or maybe people I know about, you start digging in and you're going to find maybe it's just more than ducks and cats and dogs, maybe it's other things too. I mean, listen, the guy who's in charge essentially of Haiti right now is in open cannibal. He kills and cooks his opposition and then eats them and feeds them to his soldiers. So you just have to take into context. We might be seeing some things that not even Donald Trump has made memes about yet, but let's focus on this question right here right now and what he had to say to Sean Hannity last night in regard to a second debate because over the course of the last 12 hours. And even as recently before some of the 9/11 memorials that Donald Trump had been participating in today, the narrative is changing. Let's check it out. Our campaign is saying tonight, Washington Post is reporting that she wants a second debate, what's your answer? She wants it because she lost. Do you have an answer? Well, I don't know, I have to think about it, but if you won the debate, I sort of think maybe I shouldn't do it. Why should I do it on the debate? She immediately said we want to know the debate. You know what happens when you're a prize fighter and you lose, you immediately want a new fight. You want to rematch. You want to rematch. The guy that won is sort of happy and thinking about it. Would you be inclined to say yes or you don't? Maybe if it was on a fair network, I would do that, but... I think let Hannity moderate it. Yeah, no, I think so. Like I did Newsome and Rhonda's had this. And it would be fair. You would be fair, actually. You wouldn't know the truth. I'd let you both talk. I'd let you go out at each other. I thought they would be fair. They weren't. But I felt very comfortable. We have the best policy. She has no policy. And that's it. And that's what you heard from a lot of voters. And that's what you're seeing in a lot of the polls, both the snap ones at the end of the debates, and the ones coming out this morning. After voters had had a time to kind of ingest and digest.

We're going to be jumping in with Newsmax contributor and the founder and CEO of Henry, Personal Relations, Brian Leib, and just a second. Before we do, I've got one more clip, and you want to know what? Out of all the post-game coverage we played last night, Martha McGowan and Brett Baer, along with Britt Hume, who they dust off for big events like this. They're all never Trumpers. Donald Trump has made fun of them all before, and even though he's repaired in some contexts, his relationships with, like, Brett Baer, there was a time where they had met at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year. They tend to lean on the side of Donald Trump is not the candidate that America first thinks he is. More often, they should be talking about the strength, and once in a lifetime political icon he is. They did just that after the debate last night talking about, you know, Britt Hume saying how it was a disaster, and Brett Baer open-ended questions on whether or not, you know, there's chinks in Donald Trump's armor. Obviously, Martha McGowan, who Donald Trump has said in a true social post, should team up with never Trump or Neil Cavuto to have the worst rated show in the history of television, but ratings don't matter on Fox News so they'd be perfect for it. Called in to Fox and Friends this morning to talk about a little bit of the debate recap with the Fox and Friend hosts, and when this topic of the potentiality of his second debate came up to Donald Trump, and maybe who should moderate it, well, he let Fox News know. Fox News know on Fox News just how displeased he was with Fox News live on Fox News. Let's hear it. Mr. President, I know when we started the interview you said that you felt that you won the debate last night, your best ever. I think before the debate happened last night, the Kamala Harris people said that they would actually like to do another debate in October, and I know that last night Fox News offered sent letters to your campaign and her campaign offering three dates of debates moderated by Martha and Brett. One is October 9th in Arizona. Well, I wouldn't want to have Martha and Brett. I'd love to have somebody else other than Martha and Brett. I'd love to have Frankly Sean or Jesse or Laura, you know, somebody else. Let's give other people a shot, but I didn't think Martha and Brett were a good last night. Jesse was fantastic last night. What he said. Jesse really got it. Jesse said Trump won that debate. We won that debate by a lot. Now I wouldn't want Martha involved. Okay, Mr. President. I would take some others. What do you think, Noah? Oh, it's like when the memes turned into real life. I absolutely love it. And I loved being able to come to you guys on a Wednesday edition of the show today. Noah, a rarity when we got to do a little bit of extra work during the week, but I think our 2024 presidential debate coverage was top tier rate it. Yeah, we had to split it up over a couple of days. There was no way to just attack this on Friday after it was already cold. And I was even thinking about it because no matter how much I would like to formulate my own opinion, as I didn't after I watched like the initial fallout from the debate commentary last night, kind of tuned it all off and turned it all off because if you wait and digest everybody else's podcast and new shows between Tuesday night and Friday, it doesn't matter if you want to have your own opinion. You're going to be regurgitating large portions of other people's as well. Yeah. So it let our listenership have the opportunity to hear us organically address this, how we really felt about it. And hey, listen. Did I just Kamala Harris that answer? Was I supposed to rate it? Oh, you did. No shit. Mr. Mr. Vice President, you didn't answer the question. I mean, are we rating us ourselves? Sure. Give us a nine. Whatever. There you go. 8.7. Yeah. We're not at 10 material yet. But here's the deal. Never been tense. Ever. If you want to talk about the America first movement and how every day since late November of 2022 when Donald Trump made it official and said he was running back for the White House, if every single person connected to him says you have to wake up every day and run this race like you're 10 points behind, why should you feel any differently, demoralized, and depressed about what happened in Pennsylvania last night at the presidential debate than you would on any other day. We can't just ride the highs because, again, they'll lead us in the complacency. I think sometimes you need a wake up call to kind of refocus and it's not like Donald Trump's not doing the job. The man was in lower Manhattan today at a 9/11 memorial. He just walked into what looks like a memorial luncheon for first responders and families of the victims of Flight 93 out in the Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and he's going to be out on the campaign trail at speaking events fundraisers throughout the course of the week before I know not where it is yet but we'll have coverage of it, a Trump rally that will be happening over the weekend this week. So we're going to leave it at that and we're going to be jumping in with Brian Leib before we do one last check in with one of our partners.

He's also a former congressional candidate in the great state of Florida, welcoming back Brian Leib. Thanks for coming on the show. Hey, Ron. Good to be with you. Always a pleasure to host and I want to get a little bit of Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris debate preview commentary from you as we've seen this ramping up now for the course of several weeks and she was kind of inserted and anointed the Democrat nominee. They got rid of Sleepy Crooked Joe Biden and this is kind of where we're at. And presidential debate officially, but first one for Kamala Harris, Donald Trump obviously ended Joe Biden's political career. The last time he was on the debate stage, you could say just as much for people like Hillary Clinton and the 17 Republicans in the 2016 cycle, but how are you looking at this one materializing? It seemed like the rules would favor Donald Trump as the muted mics are not going to allow for those TikTok moments that her campaign staff is looking for. However, I'm pretty sure they probably got some sneaky plans up their sleeve. What do you think, Brian? Well, they might have some sneaky plans up their sleeve, bro. But at the end of the day, I think that Trump is going to continue on his success rate that he's had at debates over the last couple of years now. And I think tonight might be the very end of the Kamala Harris campaign that the American people are going to see that she's really just a bunch of one liners without really having any substance or anything to really talk about or any positive policy victory that they've had as vice president over the last couple of years. And listen, as long as President Trump stays on message, highlights what his administration did domestically and abroad and continues to ask the question to the American people, are you better off four years ago today than you were? I think the debate's going to be a good win for President Trump. Well, and that's the thing, outside of the very vague and flip-floppy campaign policy points that Kamala Harris has kind of, I guess, started to touch on since she's become the nominee. You know, this election is never going to be about reproductive freedom, which is what the Democrats call it, obviously, pronouns and green new everything. This is going to be about fixing the economy, sealing and securing our U.S. Southern border, and then re-establishing our geopolitical footing on the world stage, becoming that shining beacon that our country has been known for and not a backstabbing flip-flopper, as we've seen kind of America work their foreign policy over the course of the last three plus years. But when you just kind of itemize and line up the what Americans are concerned about or what's negatively affecting the most in their lives and what the Democrats are offering, I mean, unless they kind of flip-flop on more policies and lean into the ones that Donald Trump are running on, they don't seem to have much of a platform to run. They talk about never going back, I don't understand what that means, like never going back to the greatest economy ever, never going back to Abrams Accords being signed, never going back to having zero terrorists, crossing the U.S. Southern border, or zero servicemen and women killed for the last 18 months we were in Afghanistan. And then they talk about only moving forward. It seems like forgetting about Donald Trump's first term and not looking at the last nearly four years is the only thing that the Democrats have to run on right now. And when you look at the shape the country's in, the only thing you could blame it on is the last four years. What do you think? No, I think you're exactly correct. And then listen, I saw this as I was traveling the Congressional District, far as 25th Congressional District, that I just ran it over the last four and a half months, and when we were talking to people door to door every single day, there were two issues that were top of mind for everyone. One was the economy, inflation, and cost of living. And two was security, whether that was illegal migrants that are flowing into our country, or just the streets that just are not safe right now everywhere you go. Even here in Florida, thank God we have record low crime, but still, I mean, the crime that continues to happen here is magnified. It's such a bigger scale, and a lot of these Democratic-run cities like Philly and New York and Chicago and L.A., we see the cities are falling apart. So listen, I think that's what the American people are most concerned about right now. Is my next president going to put more money into my pocket? Is my next president going to increase my 401Ks and my investments? Is my next president going to ensure the safety of me and my family? And I think that's really what the American people are looking at right now, and President Trump's record on those issues is just a stark contrast to the Biden-Harris administration over the last four years. So listen, I think it's an easy decision for the American people to make, and I think I want to echo what a lot of other people have said over the last couple of months. I think that President Trump in November is going to have the biggest electoral landslide and probably the history of our country. I mean, I don't know how anyone, how is anyone happy with what's happening here domestically and abroad right now? You literally would have to be crazy to say that you are happy with what's happening with the Biden-Harris administration. No, I think this might be the end of the way we at least in a modern sense look at polls when you see what the turnout is going to be like for President Trump and how much more the Democrats, the mainstream media, obviously the print press and the pollsters can't hide in between those numbers and cross tabs and skewed demographics that they're pumping out into all these polls, how much America has gone off the rails, and how much the general electorate that's going to come out on November 5th is going to vote to get this country back on the right track, which is where I want to go next. Brian, it seems like, you know, it's 16 out of the last 20 years if Kamala Harris wins on November 5th and, you know, 12 out of the last 16 years now, it just seems like it's unsustainable for this country. I would thank all of these policies that Joe Biden was kind of bullied into promoting and signing things he didn't campaign on like the Green New Scam, obviously the Inflation Non-Reduction Act and all of the DEI will policies that have been intertwined into our government that has just turned leadership into a joke, both domestically looked at from the American electorate and then abroad by I think both our geopolitical allies and foes. You know, it doesn't seem like this course trajectory that we're on right now is sustainable for another four years. Tell our listenership why you think everything's on the line this November and how much of a course correction over four years Donald Trump could do to get it back. You know, I listened to some commentaries lately, most notably Tim Poole, he was talking about maybe a very vanilla Donald Trump four years in office where he would, the ship is so far off course, just a couple, you know, tilts back to the right or left could get it back towards course, but it would be Donald Trump's, I guess, successor moving forward is where we would see America get right back on track. I'm not necessarily a believer in that. If Donald Trump has any opportunity to do what he did in his first term, take away the time that we were shut down because of the pandemic and have actual people that are going to work with him, not just congressionally, but as part of his cabinet and his agency heads who are really going to do the work that he's running on right now, I think this country has a great chance at greatness again. Well, I agree with you. And honestly, that's what I'm most excited about. God willing with the Trump administration next year is, you know, it's a Trump administration is going to step into the White House on day one with key allies both inside the White House outside of the White House and every one of the big federal agencies and especially on the Hill in the Senate and in the House. So that's going to be very different for this next Trump administration because as you know, he spent the first, you know, two years of his first administration, juggling staff, wondering, you know, who we can trust to actually get the job done, then we get hit with COVID. So I think you're going to see President Trump come in here with four years with the right people surrounding him, God willing, I'll be one of them. And you know, we're just going to we're going to fight for the future of our country. You got to drain the swamp in DC, the spending that that we see happening at a federal level is completely out of control and out of touch with people like you and me and our family and our friends. And it's just completely out of control and and I think we are going to be able to put Jeannie back in a bottle. But this is the last hope in my opinion. I hate to say that and be hyperbole and try and, you know, people say, Oh, well, you say things like that. You're a fear monger. No, we're not fear monger. We're we're looking at the lay of the land right now and how far this country has gone in the wrong direction with Democrats meeting over the last twenty plus years in the White House. Give or take. And we see what's happening. So but I do think that a four four more years of President Trump with the right people around him, the right agenda, he and hopefully a lot of other people are going to be able to go in there and, you know, start start taking names and kicking ass on day one and putting our country back on the right path here domestically and again around the world as well. America is being laughed at wrong. I have friends all around Europe all around the Middle East. America is being laughed at right now and that is because we have the most feckless and weekly leadership that I think we've ever seen in our generation. And then speaking of that, Brian, the last thing I want to touch with you on listen, I'd like to for you to give our listenership a little update on the latest that's going on between, you know, essentially the war between Israel and Iran. I know they're fighting components of Hamas and Gaza still that they've obviously ramped up the attacks on leadership. They've taken some proactive movements against Hezbollah in the north, but, you know, this is something that the Biden administration, I think since Kamala Harris was ushered into the spotlight, they've kind of skirted under the rug as they don't want it to look like a black eye on her candidacy. I mean, obviously Joe Biden's been on the beach, Tony Blinken's an empty suit. And it seems like, you know, for a nation that's been in constant crisis, essentially since biblical times, the United States has done nothing over the course of the last three plus years to help, number one, improve their situation, number two, bring that conflict to an end in any kind of speedy fashion. Yeah. Well, listen, a couple of things, Ron. First of all, I'll have an op-ed. It's going to be running sometime this week where I make my case once again for why the Jewish and pro-Israel community here in America had no greater friend in the White House than the Donald J. Trump. And that's true. That's very factual on every single level possible. And I also want to touch on the fact that, you know, we are tomorrow coming up on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks. That's when our country was really rocked to the fore. I was a freshman in high school and they started rolling the TV into history class. It was literally the second plane was crashing into the tower and everything changed on that day for you, for me, for all of us, for the American people. And I want to contrast that to, you know, what happened now almost going to be a year next month on October 7th. What happened in Israel just a little under a year ago now, it rocked them to the fore. It rocked every single Israeli to the fore. I mean, you got to understand Israel is a country of less than 10 million people. So in 1,300 people were slaughtered a massacre to one day. I mean, you know, that's like the equivalent of 40,000, 50,000 Americans in one single day, you know, being murdered. So so it's a big deal. It's a big number. And I think the Israeli people are still reeling from that. They're still trying to find a way to come together. But one thing is for sure, they've got to get rid of the mosques. They've got to get rid of Hezbollah. And you know, no country can live like this, Roan. No people can live like this. But a lot of people aren't even talking about is the fact that there's hundreds of thousands of Israelis in Northern Israel, which is on the border, as you know, with Hezbollah. They have been living in hotels in the south of Israel for the last 10 months, hundreds of thousands of Israelis, families of seven people living in a one bedroom hotel room for the last 11 months. So listen, they've got to do something to get rid of Hezbollah or at least eliminate their their fight that they have that Hezbollah has once and for all, because Israelis have got to go back to living their lives, but they've got to get rid of all these radical elements of Islamic terrorism. And, you know, again, when you go back to four years ago, you know, first of all, I think Israel would have wiped Hamas off the map in two weeks that President Trump was in office, you know, versus, you know, the nonsense that we see now where Israel is still in Gaza, trying to eliminate Hamas, while the Biden and Harris and Blinken administration have been sitting on intelligence about, you know, potentially where sin war and others have been held up. So I mean, it's just, you know, again, you know, we've got to come back to, you know, we've got an election coming up here in November, and it's not just an election to save, save America, the country that we love so much, Ron, but it's also a country to, to protect our allies because we can't be America first doesn't mean America alone. And we've got to have support. We've got to have friends around the country that are on the front lines fighting terrorism. So it never comes to us. And that's what Israel's doing right now. It's a fight versus good versus evil. And, you know, Godspeed to them. I think at the end of the day, they're going to eliminate Hamas and they're going to shift their focus to Hezbollah. And that's when I think things will get pretty a lot more serious as well. So you make some excellent points there, Brian. You know, one thing I want to add, and just in the case with a lot of things that happen under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we still see the continuation of hostages being killed or found dead. That's something that's 100% preventable as well. So funny, you know, you talk on all these narratives, you see the memes and kind of the way people play like the online with Donald Trump being the savior of Western civilization and be able to get the world back on track, but you can't start an end of conversation that, you know, begins with American domestic policy and ends with its foreign one and not think that Donald Trump possibly could wind up saving the world, you know, come January of next year. And Ron, just to add to that too, listen, what we hear and what we see from world leaders around the world, whether it's warbon and Hungary, or Maloney in Italy, or the guy down in Argentina, Malay, sorry, I was forgetting his name for a second. All of them are looking to Trump is the person to restore peace throughout the world. That's what they're all looking for. And President Trump is the man to do that. So it's not just we, the American people that need him to restore our greatness here in America, but I think he is the one to also restore peace and stability throughout the world as well. Yeah, it's an excellent point you make. And I think we're going to leave it at that, Brian.
