This is not nom, this is bowling, they're a rule. - Hey, hey, hey, junior, America! (upbeat music) - It's like four. - Bethist! (upbeat music) - So stand by. (upbeat music) - All right, everybody, welcome back to the "Stake for Breakfast" podcast. 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. I'm Roan, I'm gonna have Noah here with me for the second show today, and getting things started, instead of jumping right into the news, we're gonna take you up to Capitol Hill, and we're joined now by the Congressman who's representing Arizona's fifth congressional district, welcoming back, very excited to talk to Representative Andy Bakes. Thanks for coming on. - Thank you, good to meet you again. - Always a pleasure to host, sir. You guys got a busy week up on the Hill. We're running into some votes, most importantly, the one on the CR that's gonna keep the government funded. Obviously, this satisfaction level is probably at all time highs up on Capitol Hill with the real Republicans up there as it is with those on our show and that of our listenership. But maybe if you could just to jump in, get us caught up on what's going on, where we're going with the CR, how long it's gonna last and what does it look like heading into the November elections? - Okay, so let's talk about what a CR is. CR is an admission of failure, Roan. So when you do a CR means that you were unsuccessful in doing your appropriations the way you were required to under the law. And so you're basically funding the government at the same levels, which in this instance are really high levels, about $2.5 trillion a year more than we bring in. So the really high levels of funding, and you keep all the bad policies in place. And so that's what's going forward here in the CR, and this is gonna be for 90 days that they tell me. I think it's December 20th is the day that it's going to expire again. And the problem with it is, of course, when we start talking about these programs, you're talking about you keep CBP1 in place, you keep funding Planned Parenthood, you keep the Cuba, Asia, Nicaragua, Venezuela program in place. So you keep funding actually this border crisis that you have. And you keep funding this notion of the World Health Organization joining up with the United Nations to come up with this agreement that the UN can declare an emergency and then the who can come in. So they can say, for instance, you've got a gun emergency, you had a school shooting. So now you got a national emergency and the World Health Organization can come in. That's what we keep funding, stuff from garbage like that. And that's why so many of us are like, stop doing this. There are other options that we had. And I actually had a chance to tell one of the leaders yesterday who was kind of discussing this with me. I said, look, you're coming to me and you're saying fix the emergency, but you're the one who caused the emergency 'cause you didn't leave to get the work done when we were supposed to get it done by June 30th. - You know, and what would you, is it a combination of things, Congressman? Is it the fact that Speaker Johnson's new to leadership, especially in the role in being such a important one as Speaker of the House? Is it the fact that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are so deep rooted that they, you know, obviously do all the things behind the scenes, threatening people's congressional races, talking about budgeting and funding? Like, is it just a totality of nightmare circumstances that lead to the continuation of these CRs? And maybe in just short, do you think that there's a better chance on the back end of the November elections with success the Republicans retaining the House, the Senate flipping to Republican control and then Donald Trump winning the White House, that we could eventually move away from these, you know, essentially America last budgetary manners and get back to maybe pre-COVID spending levels at the very least and then start working on real things and real cuts that are gonna benefit the American people moving forward? - Ron, that is the 64, in this instance, the $38 trillion question. - Yeah. - Because, look, both parties have been doing this for years now. And in fact, Ron, we're supposed to get the 12 appropriations bills over to the Senate by June 30th of every year. That's called the Budget Control and Impound Act of 1972, assuming 1974, but we haven't done that since 1976. And so I want to believe, but my eyes aren't lying to me that even when the Republicans had the, you know, we had the House, the Senate and President Trump in, in '17 and '18, we didn't get it done then. And so I'm hoping that if we get all three bodies together, that we will quit dithering and actually start putting together these appropriations bills and go forward with them. Instead, 'cause they fool around. But I mean, Ron, when you do these CRs, you benefit the bureaucracy. They like the CRs because they're not gonna get cut. The lobbyists like it because their programs that they've managed over the years to get into spending packages, they don't get cut, they don't get reduced, they don't get looked at. And the Uniparty loves it. I mean, because they're in control still. And that's why it's absolutely imperative that we get this thing done in a normal fashion next time. There's just no, this is gonna pass on suspension with Democrats providing probably 200 votes today on this. - Yeah, it's wild to see the way you want. - Yeah, sorry. - No, it's good to see the way that this kind of spun out over the course of the session of Congress. It's been a wild one historic to say the least, but we're looking to move in a more favorable historic fashion, maybe in the 119th session next year. And I know that's definitely a direction that you wanted to go. Listen, you've been at the forefront of wanting to get this, you know, out of control, spending under reigns. And hopefully moving forward, there'll be more forces like yours up in the halls of Congress to get this thing going for the American people. I do wanna stay in the threat of the election though. Listen, 40 some odd days until election day, early ballots are out in some of the critical battleground states. While you spent your time in district, obviously campaigning to retain your House seat. Congressmen, you've been working hard for President Trump and just Republicans from top to bottom in Arizona as well. This is, you know, the battle for essentially the America that we know it now, not where it's heading, but where we know it now. The American dream's still alive and well. You know, things like strong borders, safe streets, good schools, robust economy, our geopolitical footing as a leader in the world instead of a follower is something that we all can get on the other end of the battle box in November 5. But as you've seen this race shake out, you know, I think one of the biggest contrasting points for me, you probably agree, you see these polls come out every weekend, CBS, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, et cetera, that have Donald Trump nearing double digit leads and all the top items, kitchen table, the economy, the border, geopolitics, et cetera. And then they show him tied with or losing to Kamala Harris on a national stage. You know, I think America since 2020 has woken up. Obviously they've woken up in the sense of bank accounts to say the very least. But when you see this race shaking out, I mean, I'm watching Donald Trump on the big screen right now to deliver economic remarks in Atlanta, Georgia, that comes the night after he gave a huge rally up in Pennsylvania. He was in New York of all places last week and to see the race that he's run, the tent that he's widened, et cetera. What's your commentary on the race so far on the job that President Trump's done to make sure when he goes to the battle box on November 5 to cast his vote, he's gonna be confident that there are more Americans voting for him than probably ever before. - Yeah, I'll tell you this, Donald Trump has more energy than 99% of the 30 year olds that I run into. The guy is absolutely the energizer buddy bunny and I had the privilege of talking to him a little bit last week and I'll tell you, you're right, Ron. He goes everywhere and he's received well, his messages well and quite frankly, you're seeing it, you've actually had a flip and a switch here. You know who favors the crazy Kamala? It's upper class people, people making a lot of money. They want Kamala Harris. Why I don't know, I don't know, I really don't get it. But it is everybody else that's supporting Donald Trump. And I will just tell you this, Ron. If Donald Trump, if the Republican party from top to bottom gets voters out, we win the election, we win the election and that's what's critical here and so I know that the other side is trying to get their voters out but we need to get our voters out 'cause when we do, I think we can win some of these battleground states that people are talking about. I think we win them with some strength behind them and that'll be a tremendous message going forward. So that's the key, Ron. But voter turnout, this is a voter turnout election. There's no doubt about it. - No, there certainly is. And then when you look at the ways that people are, the candidates are getting their constituents fired up to vote out. Donald Trump talking about bringing back the Trump economy, making the border secure again, obviously refooting our global standing. And then Kamala Harris, opportunistic economy, don't know what that means. You talked about the elites that kind of back her that probably eluding to that. And then when you heard this week that Kamala Harris is weighing on whether or not to go down to the actual U.S. Southern border, it's obviously just a campaign stunt. Talk about how tough she is and the tens of millions of people who have been able to pour in under her and Joe Biden. How much of his joke is it to see? Listen, this is a reactionary candidacy here with Kamala Harris. It seems like every time Donald Trump introduces something new, they want to kind of spin it, that it's something that they'll look to do. They've had four years to do it and haven't done it. But when you see the stunts continuing and the pandering at an all time high, what does it say for the comparison and the contrast between these two races? - Well, you're right again. Kamala Harris and her team have no original thought, right? So they're actually trying to pair it even Joe Biden. I mean, that's how desperate they are. So they want to be Joe Biden. They want to keep her off stage. They don't want her to speak because when she speaks, you get a word salad, when she's going forward, you get mixed up, everybody gets mixed up. They don't know what they're saying. Even her surrogates don't know what she's saying. So when I see her going down to the border, I mean, it was like last time you went to the border, you just stopped in El Paso, got a margarita at a Mexican food restaurant and then took off. That's what this is. This is a photo op. And that's all she is. She's a photo op candidate. Because if she does anything more than just stand there and get a picture taken, she's disgraceful, she's discombobulating. I mean, and so when I hear, you know, everything you're saying is exactly right. You want stability. I just came from a hearing in Congress where these people are talking about Donald Trump loving Xi Jinping in China. Well, you know what happened during the four years Donald Trump was president? China was corralled. North Korea was corralled. Iran was devastated. Russia was devastated. Ukraine, there was no war because Donald Trump prevented war. There was peace. There was no war. And then you get the gaslighting of Kamala Harris saying, hey, we don't have any military men and women in any active combat zone in the world. That's just a flat outline. She either doesn't know what's going on, which is a distinct possibility, Ron. You have to admit that she may not know anything about what's going on. But most likely, she's just lying because she also lies about the border being secure. She lies to people and says, well, you know, the economy is getting better. It's really on its way back. She lies about, hey, I love fracking. I was always for fracking. Well, if I was against fracking on, you know, now I'm back for it. You know, I was, it's the old John Kerry thing. I was against it before I was for it. Now I'm for it. Maybe I was against it. Who knows? All I can tell you is you cannot trust Kamala Harris, but one thing, Donald Trump, and this is what I, what I, the mantra I think he needs to say over and over again, were you better off under me or under Kamala Harris? Because every American was better off under Donald Trump than they were, have been under Kamala Harris. - It's the truth. She won't answer the question. So I think you're right there where Donald Trump's going to continue to hammer that home congressman. Last thing I want to touch with you on, obviously there's been a lot of leaks to the media, whistleblowers coming to offices of congressmen and women on the Republican side talking about the investigations into the now two known assassination attempts, the ones that were made public, you know, over the course of the last two months. Very, very dissatisfaction level at all time highs at the end of our show and probably at the end of your congressional office. I mean, it starts with Alejandro Mayorkas goes down to the acting director now of the Secret Service, obviously Christopher Ray, the FBI, the lack of transparency, the lack of able to being able to collaborate with entities like Ron DeSantis' governor's office and his department of justice down the state of Florida, et cetera, you know, I just kind of want to get your, is this something that's just going to get pushed with bureaucratic red tape? And I don't have the data or answers. We'll get back to you between now and election day and we'll pick it up and probably get some real transparency for America, maybe in January of next year. Do you feel like with the whistleblowers continuing to come in your guys direction, we might have a little bit more before we get to election day on November 5th? - Well, with the whistleblowers that are coming forward, we have a chance to get a little more information out. My guess is we're not going to get as much as we should have. Why? Because even with the whistleblower, you want to corroborate whatever you can and we're trying to get corroboration and the administration is stonewalling us, right? And again, we're full circle, Ron, because this, how do you get them to respond? You threaten to take away their money. - Right. - And can you do that, you can't do that in a CR. You can't say, okay, we're not going to do that. We're not going to build your new headquarters FBI. In fact, you're going to fund the new headquarters with the CR. So in reality to get back to the actual question of will we get more information? I think you'll get a little bit more. Will it be satisfactory? No, it'll be unsatisfying and we'll want more. But the best chance we get is as you couch the November 5th ballot box, we get the vote out, we win those elections, we take those seats, we take the swing states, we take the swing congressional seats. We do that, we have a tremendous chance to actually get the ship back going in the right direction, which means that you're going to get information on the assassination attempts that you can hold people accountable for. And that's what we need. - And that's what America's looking for. I think we're going to leave it at that as Congressman. As you've got a hard out today, listen, as always, we've got your congressional office and your website live linked in the show description today. You want to tell us where we can find it on social media, direct our listenership to check you out there as well? - Yeah, you can go to any social media sign, find me @azrepandybigs. If you go to my official website is biggs.house.gov. You might want to look at bigsforcongress.com as well. - We always want to do that. This is the Congressman who's representing Arizona 5, fighting for all of America first up there on Capitol Hill. Representative Andy Biggs, thanks for joining us on the show today, sir. Have a great rest of your week. - Yeah, you too, Ron, thanks. - Amala Harris is reportedly given a speech in Pittsburgh. You know, her speech is a very short. (audience booing) About her plan to, quote, build wealth. She doesn't know anything about building wealth, but she's been in office for three and a half years. She's saying what she's going to do if she becomes president, but she's been there almost four years. She hasn't done anything except destroy our country with millions of people that shouldn't be here. (audience applauding) And inflation, and inflation. What the damage that Sleepy Joe, you know, I'm tending to call him Sleepy Joe lately because I call him Crooked Joe, but now he's not like, is he, who's our president? We don't even have, do we have a president? (audience booing) Why doesn't he leave? Why doesn't he leave? No, think of it, think of it. I call him Crooked Joe, that was very effective. He got him out of the race, I mean, he gets it. No, we had a debate, and he didn't do too well in that debate. And they came to him and they said, you're down 21 points and you're going to lose. This can only happen to me, so I end up with somebody new, but here's the thing, all I have to do is expose her for what she is, she's a communist, okay? (audience applauding) She's a communist. And this country is not ready for a communist, and hopefully never will be, because that doesn't work. Kamala talks about all these things that she's going to do, but she's been here, think of it, she's been here for almost four years and she's not done anything. I will do this, I will do that, I will do that, what the hell, she could do 'em today. You know, they talk about the border, oh, we have a plan for the border. I didn't have any help, I had very hostile Congress, and what I did is I said, close the border, to the border patrol, they're great. (audience applauding) And the border was strong. All right, I'm back into the news portion of the show here. First news segment, to start our second edition of the State of Rutgers podcast, great kicking off the show today with Congressman Andy Biggs. Listen, late edition to today's lineup, but when Congressman Biggs' office texts you in the morning and says, "Hey, you'd love to come on the show "and talk about what's going on up on Capitol Hill," the presidential race, you make room for him on the show, and there he was, great catching up with him. It was also a great kitchen up with, in our first edition of the podcast today, guys, if you're here in this episode first, press pause, we'll see you in a little bit. Episode 460 featured Dr. Ben Carson and South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mays got an update on that. No off-camera, she called us babe. Gotta love it. - Nice. - And in the fallout from the exposure she did to the CNN panelist last week that was sliding into her DMs, she said, "They would love to snap some selfies "with us here on State for Breakfast." So win, win, win, including her interview, and we're rolling right along here. Kicking off the show with Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs, we're gonna have Janaya Thomas from the Trump campaign. She's getting out the black vote all across the country, joining us for the first time at the end of this new segment, and wrap up today's show with Texas Congressman Pat Fallon. Donald Trump was out on the campaign trail. Noah, follow me on this one. Indiana, Pennsylvania last night. - Okay. - So he was in Indiana County, but in Pennsylvania, Battleground State, one of the prize jewels of this election cycle, one that Donald Trump's looking to throw back into his win column, and therefore, essentially make it impossible for Kamala Harris to win reelection. Noah, in our first show, we talked about Donald Trump. We recap the rally from North Carolina over the weekend. I'm sure you saw some highlights. Donald Trump had his grandkids on stage. He was stumping a lot on the manufacturing industry, talking about 100% for surely, not having another debate, especially on fake news, CNN, so late in the election cycle that so many ballots will already be cast when Kamala Harris wants to have it. What do you think? - I'm ready. Let's make it happen. - Let's make it happen. And then we talked a little bit about the Sunday morning new circuit, a lot of word salads from, you know, Senator John Federman and Gretchen Whitmer, the current governor of Michigan. - Oh, I can't eat any more word salad. - Man, it's getting weird. He'd been helping us it's coming down the pike because Kamala Harris is supposed to unveil her economic plan for America tomorrow. So we'll have full comprehensive highlights of that. On our Friday edition of the show, maybe some highlights from Donald Trump's economic platform layout today that he just concluded in Savannah, Georgia. We also touched on the recent developments within the investigations into the assassination attempts on Donald Trump's life, Noah. So I know you heard the clip last week we played on the show of Congressman Gates saying that there might have been, you know, assassination teams, some from outside world entities here operating in the United States that they know about. There's reports circulating today that they may have stopped. Congressman Biggs alluded to it a little bit. Another team getting ready to make an attempt at Donald Trump's life just as recently as today. So very alarming to see. The most recent shooter son was arrested this morning on charges of possession of child pornography, something that was discovered. Yeah, during a search of his North Carolina home, when they went to, I guess, forensically break down the attempted assassin's home in North Carolina, they found, obviously they're taking all the hardware and stuff that's in there. And some computers contain child pornography which belonged apparently to his son hundreds of files, which is breaking news. And then did you see that they released the shooter's manifesto? I'm sorry for not being able to take out Donald Trump. Here's $150,000 raising so many. Where does this money come from? How does a guy with no job? Well, he's not gonna be able to pay him anyways. He'd locked up. Sure, but travel around the world to places like Ukraine, recruiting all these foreign fighters to come and fight against Russia there. He's got homes in North Carolina and in Hawaii. The guy owns a horse in Hawaii as well. It's been recently in the building. It's a horse? Yeah, it's just crazy. No fucking expensive, it is the owner of a horse. Very expensive. And how expensive is it to even rent property in Hawaii? I mean, he wasn't living in some shack. He was living in a nice house. Well, maybe you got a deal in a fire sale. You know, I think the more and more we start to investigate here, we're gonna find out that one of your best and most favorite geopolitical money-grubbers is gonna be complacent in this, Noah. Well, back to the child porn real quick, sorry. Sure. Isn't that kind of the government's go-to to silence somebody? So maybe the sun has something to say about this. And they're like, all right, well, guess what? I'm gonna pull my Uno reverse card and child porn. Yeah. Like they do that to politicians and everybody all the time. All the time. And you know, it's just wild to see that this kind of, the investigation, and then the difference between the two investigations still know very little about anything personally to do with the Butler, Pennsylvania shooter, but we seem to discover new bits and pieces. Maybe it's a distractionary measure into the one that almost happened in Palm Beach last week. You know, Noah, did you see a Cookie Monster was out in not Kiev, not Geneva, not at the United Nations, but in rural Pennsylvania with Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro yesterday of Vladimir Zelensky with signing munitions at a factory there, which produces them. And for some of the ones that are being, I guess, donated on behalf of the American taxpayer to the Ukraine war. What are you right? Thanks for the money. I think you probably wrote this. If you can't give us some financial support, okay. Okay, please, give us a credit. Oh, he wrote IOU. Yeah, that's gonna be one of my all-time favorite clips forever, no matter what. Just moving forward. That is CP3 meme for putting the music on that one is absolutely phenomenal as well. We're jumping into it right here. Donald Trump was in Battleground, Pennsylvania, Indiana County last night, delivering remarks to supporters, Trump rally, as usual, packed from the floor to the ceiling. Thousands of spectators outside watching on the big screens. Obviously you heard him hammering on Kamala Harris for her do nothing over the course of the past three plus years now and then pretending to offer solutions and all the things that she's helped, wrecked. You know, she did pick up a big endorsement this week. No, did you hear about this one? Who'd you gonna endorse by now? Well, it wasn't Teamsters. Said Hitler. Oh, yeah, maybe that too. Definitely all of the potential Trump assassins as well. No, this one was very interesting. It was the National Treasury Union for the federal government, which includes the arrest. Yeah, yeah, they made a public endorsement. They seem like they're making really good choices. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was pretty interesting to see how that kind of came down as we've seen a lot of these major labor unions. It's the largest one in the federal government I've heard. And, you know, a lot of them have just chose to stay out of the race and not get involved with, you know, making a public endorsement. Just kind of letting their... Which would be the thing to do when it's this awful of a choice. Yeah. Like if you can't say Trump, just say nothing. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it seems like this agency, or this labor union is one of the ones who represents not only the IRS, which publicly endorse Kamal Harris, but a lot of the federal agencies which fall under the Department of Homeland Security, which I thought was very interesting as we've seen just about all of the rank and file members and the unions who are sub-unions to this one, the ones who are, you know, obviously sectioned out to like border patrol and ICE and things like that, publicly denounced. Wait, wait. So the people that are dealing with the wide open border and getting absolutely hammered by these horrible immigration policies are saying, "Please, sir, may I have another?" Well, the people who are supposedly represent them as union bosses are. Geez. I think we know where all the donations from the cocktail dinners are going. So let's hear Donald Trump weigh in on this. It's no wonder that Kamal Harris was just officially endorsed by IRS agents, do you believe it? That's one you'd say. I'd rather not have that endorsement, but I've been endorsed by virtually every police group in the entire nation. Every policeman. Almost every sheriff's group, every police group, every... Every one of them. We just had one, the fraternal order. We just had 400,000 policemen. That's the biggest of all the unions and the endorsement. And, and this is the first time in decades, just got endorsed by the rank and file members of the Teamsters, which I happen to think is amazing. That was a surprise. That's automatic for the Democrats and they... Now, the bosses didn't endorse me, but they had a problem. 'Cause we got, they got 30% of the vote. We got actually 60 or 61% of the vote. Can you believe it? So the people that were in the 61, the people that want us, they said, "Well, how come you didn't endorse them? "Why do you, they're just gonna take a piss?" But maybe that's okay, that's all right. We know where they stand and that's good. Kamala Harris is the candidate of the tax collectors in the Washington bureaucrats. I am the candidate of the American worker and I always will be. I always will be. (crowd cheering) - I think so. So as you and you're looking at more Trump tax cuts, he wouldn't just leave it there though, Noah. He would go on to the bureaucrats. They are so annoying. You know, but he would go on to give, well, he's given Kamala Harris a couple of titles. Comrad, he said, borders are and all of these other things. There was a new one though and it was directly related to this federal endorsement. Let's check it out. - Kamala Harris is the tax queen. And she's coming for your money. She's coming for your pensions and she's coming for your savings unless you defeat her in November and take a one and take away your guns. Remember that, always remember that. As president, I will keep Kamala's greedy hands out of your pockets and we will deliver gigantic tax cuts. I gave you the largest tax cuts in history and we are going to go further. That's what created. That's what created the greatest economy. You know, when they say compare yourself now, but do something else. Compare costs now. Compare the cost of bacon with the cost of bacon four or five years ago. Compare the cost of just groceries. I mean, some of these things are going up four, five, six times. Energy interest rates. How about I had, I was at 2% interest rates. Now there are 10%, but you can't get the money. So you got to keep going up. Okay, you're not at 10% if you can't get the money. We will have, I'm very proud of this. And then she copied me on one of them. Only one, I'm waiting for the others. We will have no tax on tips. (audience cheering) That was an easy one. We will have no tax on overtime work overtime. (audience cheering) And for our seniors who have been decimated, decimated by the stupidity of inflation, these people what they did to you on inflation, we will have no tax on social security benefits. (audience cheering) No tax. You've been decimated. They took it all away. A lot of people wearing hard hats in that audience. No, I know when you talk about no tax on overtime, especially in a blue collar state like Pennsylvania. That really resonates with the electorate there. And then social security for all of our seniors taking, you know, giving them anywhere between 30 and 50% of their checks back in physical form every month. I think it's huge. What do you think? Yeah, you can buy a lot of hard hats with that extra money. And then as always, Donald Trump's looking to, of course, make bacon affordable again, which is something that, "Hey, listen, unless it's on sale, "I don't really buy it anymore." So it's pain in the ass, but, you know, we definitely don't need a lot of the things we used to. Or let's just say, as frequently or maybe do things that go out or get takeout as we did during the Trump administration, and that's because of the high price of everything. You know, every time we go to the grocery store, it doesn't matter if it's just for a few things. You walk in for a few things, it's at least a hundred bucks for our family. If you walk in for our weekly grossing shopping, it's at least $400 at one store, and then we're tacking on another couple hundred bucks at Costco because I've got growing kids and three dogs and all that stuff. But everybody's getting crushed by this stuff, don't you think, Donald? Yeah, it's, I mean, I don't have anybody can sanely look at their bank account and just walk around a store and see how much everything's costing them, and still be like, "This is Trump's fault." Mm-hmm, yeah, that's okay. And I see people doing it. I see people doing it. It's amazing. Well, hopefully there's way less of them than there was in 2020, and-- Well, just the propaganda that you're seeing now. There's all sorts of complete just propagandists that are just like blowing just the most asinine smoke up people's asses. There's this guy on Instagram, he's the, I'm a 55-year-old rural American gun owner, white guy or something like that. And if you think Kamala Harris is gonna get my vote, you'd be right. And it's like he starts all of his stories like this, and it tries to say that he's like an unaffiliated voter, but if you look the guy up, he was literally a Democrat that was running for office. So it's propaganda, that's all it is. I like to see how much taxes he pays on the campaign donations that go his way in the form of salary, as well as being an influencer for the Democrat party. You know what? It's I'm a 56-year-old veteran, husband, father, grandfather, unaffiliated voter. It's like ridiculous. So stupid. Well, I tell you what, our country is ready for a lot of things right now. I think we're leaning more towards making America great again. Donald Trump knows our country, hopefully, won't be ever ready for what he's talking about here on the campaign trial last time. It's Eric. Debate, and he didn't do too well in that debate, and they came to him and they said, "You're down 21 points and you're gonna lose." This can only happen to me. So I end up with somebody new, but here's the thing, all I have to do is expose her for what she is. She's a communist, okay? (audience cheering) She's a communist. And this country is not ready for a communist, and hopefully never will be. And I hope so as well. You know, and the thing is, I've heard some pundits weigh in on this. I kind of agree with them. I think in some instances, we give Kamala Harris too much credit. You know, she's been pushed and backed and funded by these communist, Marxist organizations and entities over the course of her political career, but I don't even really think she cares or knows enough that what's going on. You know, no, I talked about it a little bit in our first show, Jeff Clark, great friend of the show, former two-time US assistant, Attorney General of the United States, now doing great work at the Center for New America, put out on his social media a couple of days ago, something that, you know, I've heard Kamala Harris use over and over and over again. It's her second go-to after I grew up in a middle-class family and we love lawns. It was, I was, I came up as a prosecutor, putting away the worst of the worst. You know, an instituteer? Exactly. Jeff Clark had called for, I would like to see her highest profile prosecutions, please, in physical form, show us who she prosecuted and what the final disposition of. Now, he's kind of doubled down, said, I would like to see Kamala Harris's paperwork on anybody. She's prosecuted over the course of her prosecutorial, whatever career and nothing. No one's asked, like who? What transnational gangs or high-ranking cartel officials, all these people that you talked about, human trafficking, drug trafficking, drug trafficking, gun trafficking in the United States, all these entities that you said you put behind bars. Who are they? Who are your landmark cases? And then you start to find out that she went after like sick families who couldn't always get their kids to school because they were on cancer treatment and Kamala Harris truancy led her to them so many times that a mother in San Francisco wound up going to jail for a year and her 12-year-old daughter had a stroke from the stress that the situation occurred. Or how many fathers or sons who got caught back in the day with simple possession of marijuana, did you put in jail for a decade instead of working towards things like prison reform, something that they champion on now where we should abolish ICE and just empty out all of our prisons. We'll be completely fine. Jeff Clark has made a great point that there are no groundbreaking cases here and I hope we get those receipts before we go to the election so Donald Trump can hold her accountable to it. But it's something that I see kind of snowballing against the Democrats right now and I don't see her talking about any of these huge landmark cases, these big international baddies that she's put away for operating or committing heinous crimes in the United States. So it's gonna be interesting to see how that narrative comes and develops over the course of the next couple weeks. We're six weeks away from election day. Ballots are already out in two or three states. Early voting starts and half dozen within the next two weeks. And listen, it's up to the people of this country and Donald Trump passed. He said it's up to the people of Pennsylvania to make sure it goes back into the wind column for America first on November 5th. And by winning that, we will essentially be able to win this election. Let's hear it. - Dancing on the people of this great commonwealth and I know you will not let us down. You're not gonna let us down. We gotta get out and vote. You can start right away, you know that, right? Now we have this stupid stuff where you can vote 45 days early. I wonder what the hell happens during that 45. Let's move the, see these votes? You've got about a million votes in there. Let's move them. We're fixing the air conditioner in the room, right? No, it's terrible. What happened the last time was disgraceful, including right here. But we're not gonna let it happen again, too. You know, too big to rig, right? That's one way you do it. (audience cheering) We gotta take our country back from these horrible people because if we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole thing. It's very simple. (audience cheering) - It's a simple equation, folks. And we should be focusing a lot of our attention. Donald Trump's done it rally style. He also announced this week. No, I don't know if you saw it. October 5th, Donald Trump will make his triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania. - Nice. - And meeting an outdoor rally, I believe, in the same place where he nearly lost his life a little over two months ago. And... - I don't know if outdoor rallies are really a good call for him. - Yeah, I mean, listen, the aesthetic of the ballistic-proof glasses around him. I didn't really love it this weekend, but you wanna know how he kind of melted that down at his outdoor rally that we covered in our first show today, that happened in North Carolina, where I was growing kids on stage. And, you know, they're saying, like, vote for grandpa and make America great again. It just kind of, it takes, I guess, figuratively what we have to do to protect him. It was also really interesting in our first interview in our first show today to hear a little bit of insight from someone who, you know, there's a lot of these politicians, people who work on the campaign who are close to President Trump. But I don't think anybody has an as strong a friendship as Dr. Ben Carson probably does with him. And that's been something that's, you know, they've cultivated over the course of the last nearly decade. And I really do feel like they're close, their families are close. And to hear Ben Carson kind of tell how, you know, his heart processes this whole thing. And even to tell us that, you know what, back in 2016, Ben Carson said that he had more presidential security as a candidate than Donald Trump has now. And it says a lot for the state of our federal agencies. And, you know, Donald Trump's all over the campaign trail this week, delivering remarks in Pennsylvania. Last night, he was down in Savannah, Georgia today. Well, they have the United Nations summit going on right now. And just think about how many critical assets to the Secret Service, FBI and security apparatus. Set up around Donald Trump is now being directed in that direction for a lot of high value assets who are visiting the country right now and will probably be going out into the cities and around as a lot of these world leaders tend to do. You know, one of the things that's critical component, he touched on it a lot, is obviously the energy industry in Pennsylvania. But we also have to remember, there's a huge agriculture sect and steel workers industry in places like Pittsburgh and around Pennsylvania as well. This is something that kind of slips under the radar because there's been so much attention on fracking directed towards Kamala Harris for shifting policies. And Donald Trump, who wants to drill baby drill on day one. But he also touched on outside of the energy policies, keeping U.S. steel here in America, not just to be manufactured, but to be sent all around the world that's here. We are also going to keep U.S. steel right here in America. We have to be strong and powerful again, and we must put tariffs on foreign predators. They are predators so that they don't destroy our steel industry. The people that like me the most of the steel, they were dead when I came into office. They were dead, and I put taxes on China. China was dumping massive amounts of steel to destroy our companies. I put a 50 percent tariff, then I raised it in some cases to 100 percent, and at a certain level they said, "No Maas, we're not doing it." Remember, no Maas, Roberto. We love Roberto Durando, and no Maas, no Maas. And they said no Maas, and that was the end of it, and our steel companies were saved and thrived, and now we're losing our steel companies again because we have stupid people in the White House. We must keep our steel companies, and we must keep making steel more than any... If we have a war, are we gonna call up, "Gee, China, could you send us some steel, please?" "Oh, I forgot about that." If we have a war, think of it. If we need it for our military, how do we build our tanks? How do we build our ships? We wouldn't have any steel. We have to make U.S. steel great again. It doesn't have to be what it was. It was the greatest company in the world. Think of it. (audience cheering) U.S. Steel was the greatest company in the whole world. That would be like whatever. You know, today our big companies are like Google, and this and that. They're not the same. U.S. Steel is such a strength. Google is all, give me a break. - Donald Trump doesn't like the American-led companies that you can't physically touch. He likes to see that American steel, not only manufactured, but sent to all around the world from here in the United States. It's a good point. - Yeah. - I mean, you know, I don't know if you saw yesterday. Donald Trump sat down for part of his outlying his economic plan. I believe he was in Michigan, but he's been bounced around so much. Don't quote me on it. And he got on the topic of like John Deere, who's building like this huge state-of-the-art manufacturing facility down in Mexico. And they asked them specifically about John Deere. And Donald Trump said, "Listen, I've already talked "to the owners, I've talked to the investors. "Here's the deal. "They could build whatever they want in Mexico. "If that thing starts manufacturing anything "with the John Deere name on it "and tries to come into the United States, "200% tariff is my starting point." And they will be able to sell nothing here in the United States. If they want to cripple their business and erase them, you know, from American manufacturing might, the burden is going to be pushed on them and well ahead of time. So he's putting the ball back in all of these people's courts. It seemed to have worked during his first administration. I think a lot of people took advantage of it during COVID, pre-starting. The fact that there was a chance that Donald Trump wouldn't win reelection in 2020, but I think this time Donald Trump means business. And when you look at all the people that are running adjacent to him right now and potentially would be moving forward with the America First Agenda after Donald Trump's next German office, it seems like we need to kind of reinvigorate the manufacturing industry here and make that component of America greaty and don't you agree? - Yeah, that needs to happen sooner than later, please. - And speaking of waste of money by making things in Mexico and then charging the United States to have them sold here, we already mentioned that Vladimir Zelinski, a cookie monster, if you will, was in the United States yesterday. He had talked shit about Donald Trump in an interview and JD Vance saying that they don't understand the real situation in Ukraine, everything that they offer to the table starts and ends with them seeding land to Russia to end the conflict. But listen, when you want the killing to stop and you want the second greatest disinvestment that we'll see going into Ukraine and that's all the contract bids to rebuild the country after we essentially help destroy it, we need to end the fighting and the killing. Donald Trump heard about the interview that was gonna be put out today, it came out in the New Yorker and had some, I would say less than kind words for the Ukrainian dictator, what's here? - But Ukraine now, I see Zelinski is here. I think Zelinski is the greatest salesman in history. Every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion, billion. Walks it with $60 billion, he wants them to, he wants them to win this election so badly, but I would do differently, I will work at peace before I'm even before, as president-elective, I win this election, the first thing I'm gonna do is call up Zelinski and call up President Putin and I'm gonna say, you gotta make a deal, this is crazy. (crowd cheering) And it's the truth, we can't have, this is eventually, something is going to happen, probably at the behest of the Ukrainians, the government there, we've already seen their complicit nature in what's happened to the North Tree pipeline. They're now using long range American weaponry to hit targets still kind of in the battle zone, but inching further into Russian territory, you start talking about civilians and things like that getting killed, Russia's only gonna sit on this for so long. They know we've already been deeply enthralled with China and the new Cold War that's happening and exploding all over the globe, now to go kinetic with an entity like Russia. They know they wouldn't survive, but they take three quarters of the planet with them if this thing ever got hot and we just can't let that happen. I think Donald Trump does offer, albeit in from the Ukraine standpoint, probably some defeats nature. Listen, if you pull the people that live there and you got a choice, give up the regions that historically for the last thousands of years have been argued by Russian and Ukrainian entities, even before they were Russia and Ukraine, who is entitled to this land? They'd much rather have that been worked out than have people continue dying, school not happening for years on ends, all of the manufacturing, the wheat and stuff and the oil that comes out of the region, not being produced. And I just think that that's it. I think the people would probably, I mean, listen, for the parties that they throw there, no, they probably want this to come to an end sooner rather than later, right? Yeah, how much longer can we tolerate this? - Well, as long as the credit lasts and the credit ends, if we can retain the house, flip the Senate and get Donald Trump back in the White House.

Going on here at the show, like our interview with Blacks for Trump coordinator, nationally for the Trump 2024 campaign, Jenny Thomas, which is about to happen in just a few minutes. So no, the Biden flights, which are now being tabbed as the Harris flights, is something that, you know, we're seeing resonate in places like Aurora, Colorado or Springfield, Ohio, places in Pennsylvania and New York as well. I saw a story on the news today, I believe it was on Newsmax or NewsNation where they were talking about, you know, those Venezuelan gangs who have been causing so much trouble coast to coast, I've been notified, the federal government has notified the media that they're taking refuge and cover in these five star hotels or these migrant shanty towns with the wedding tents that they've built up in places across the country. Is that surprised you at all? No, not even remotely. And, you know, one of the things that Donald Trump has said is part of his day one agenda is ending the Biden-Harris flights and rounding up those people as part of the first wave of everyone needs to go back. We talked about him unveiling his plan to federally end sanctuary cities in their totalities. Doesn't matter if they're in a blue city or a blue state because if the governors and the mayors don't want to work with the federal agencies who are trying to get these criminals out of the community, the federal funding will end on day one. He was talking about the Biden flights, the Harris flights, let's hear it. Kamala has illegally flown in more than a half a million migrants, right? When she was saying, no, no, we don't want to do that and these guys actually want these people in our country. It's not even believable. Working with left-wing non-profits to inundate Pennsylvania communities, changing the character of small towns and villages all over our country and changing them forever. They will never be the same. They will never be. Do you think Springfield will ever be the same? I don't think. The fact is, and I'll say it now, you have to get him the hell out. You have to get him out. I'm sorry. Get him out. Can't have it. Can't have it. They've destroyed it. You know, every time I hear an organic, send them back, chant, begin in the Trump rally, I feel so much more like we're in the 2016 timeline, which is part of the agenda that will Donald Trump to the White House in his first term, don't you agree? Yeah. And if anybody's trying to connotate that with racism, it is not. It's, we want the criminals to go back. It's like, the people that are beneficial to our country to have here, most likely are already in the process and are doing it in a legal manner. You know, Donald Trump felt so strongly about that portion of his speaking event last night, Noah. He shared it on all of his social medias with the caption, I'm going to read it now. It takes centuries to build the unique character of each state, but reckless migration policies can change it quickly and permanently. Just like we've seen in London, Paris, Germany, and even Minneapolis, Minnesota. If Kamala Harris wins the selection, she will flood Pennsylvania, cities and towns with illegal migrants from all over the world, and Pennsylvania will not be Pennsylvania any longer. When I am president, all migrant flights to Pennsylvania will stop the moment I take the oath of office. Those who do not belong here will be sent back home. We will end the invasion of small town, Pennsylvania, and we will end the overall destruction of America. - Yeah. - It's a huge talking point. Listen, they can cover it up for as long as they want. The media try to cover it up. You've got these mayors now reaching out to the conservative press. You see the city council hearings that are being broadcast more online and on social media. You see the release of these 911 calls in a lot of these states. It's not just eating the dogs and cats. I think that was kind of like the topic that would get people into the conversation, but now when you see it and you found out in places like Springfield, Ohio, these 20,000 Haitians are getting all the manufacturing jobs locally in the area. Ones that would be taken by the citizens who lived there. When you see the way schools are being overran and they're having to bring in translators, but that's not where it starts and ends the problem because a lot of these kids from the third world in extreme poverty have never been in a structured school setting. So to think that they could go from like living in a village and eating mud cakes every day to being able to sit in a classroom for eight hours and even trying to learn anything is just another burden on the US taxpayer. So it's like if they're not willing to assimilate and they just wanna be here for the free shit, it doesn't matter how much they try to accommodate them because unless they're getting directly what they want and don't care about anything else, these communities, small town, rural America are gonna continue to crumble. And I think that's the big point that Donald Trump is trying to hit home there. Another group that he's trying to bring in and that's the single suburban white women. No, we want our women in America first happy, don't we? Well, I think under Donald Trump, he's looking to make women free. He's looking to make them happy. He's looking to bake. Just being a woman great again in America. He's been touching on this for the last couple of rallies. I pulled a clip of it from last night and check it out. - Inc, confident and free. (audience cheering) - You will no longer be thinking about abortion. It's all they talk about abortion because we've done something that nobody else could've done. It is now where it always had to be with the states and they vote of the people. (audience cheering) And it is and will be with powerful exceptions like those that Ronald Reagan insisted on for rape, incest, and a life of the mother, but not allowing for a Democrat-demanded late-term abortion in the seventh, eighth, or ninth month, or even execution of a baby after birth. (audience cheering) - I just don't think when you head closer and closer to November 5th, Noah, I don't care how big of a purple-haired mean you are, the overwhelming majority of women in this country are not going to cast their votes for abortion rights. Do you just not think that that's something that, not only that, but all right, let's look at it this way. Let's just take into context our guest list today, Dr. Ben Carson, one of the most robust resumes you'll ever see from someone that's federally served, presidential candidate, author, former HUD director, retired neurosurgeon, you name it, he's done it. Now he's been tasked to be the national faith director for the Trump campaign, and you know, Dr. Carson said it today, 50% of evangelicals decided to sit out of the 2020 presidential election, even after Donald Trump got Roe v. Wade overturned, like, what are we doing here? You know, you have to be able to put, you can't just run on a singular issue, right? Evangelicals want a bigger seat at the table. The abortion community, all of those crazy, anti-pro-lifers, they have such a small demographic that they don't resonate unless you let them activate. And by getting things like the evangelical community more involved in the upcoming election, I think that we could, I don't want to be cliche, but Trump those numbers, don't you? - Yeah. - Something that we definitely have to look at with now, which is 42 days before election day. - There are a lot of people that are dumb enough to just pick one thing or two things, and a lot of those people are brainwashed by everything that's going on. They're completely obsessed with one particular portion of the world that's having people being killed instead of the 17 other places in the world that are having people killed, and they're having this unrational reaction to something that has been placed in the hands of the states, which is probably the best place for it. - Yeah, I mean, Ben Carson kind of rationalized it as, look at it this way, it's the lesser of two evils, or if you want to look at it in an even more common sense way, it promises, made and promises kept. If Donald Trump campaigns on I'm going to be the most pro-life president in the history, he shows up at the march, he got Roe v. Wade overturned, he sent it back to the states, going back to constitutional values and federalism. What else do you want? You want him to continue to promote that agenda, go out and vote so you have a bigger seat at the table, evangelical community in this upcoming election. You know, you want the schools to get completely reformed, do you want that sent back to the state? Guess what, the fastest way to get God back into your children's education is to let Donald Trump win this election and end the Department of Education. It's just the only way it's gonna happen. - Yeah. - You know, and speaking of which, Donald Trump has been, listen, I saw a post come out today. Out of all the battleground states, I think Michigan is probably tight-ish with Wisconsin for least likely out of the ones right now looking like are gonna be ones that Donald Trump will win if the election was today. I think if you ranked them, obviously, North Carolina would be one, Georgia two, probably Arizona three, Pennsylvania four and about a five, and then you have Michigan and Wisconsin tied on the back-end, but you know, within the margin of error, according to all the polls, we'll look at that in our next new segment here. But the thing is, I see all these posts that come out on social media. Man, I'm in Michigan. It's in a place that has been traditionally not really interested in politics or left leaning in their elections, and there's a Trump sign on every lawn. There's Trump billboards on every corner. There's a Trump Force 47 office in every county. There's people walking around the streets. There's commercials on TV. We're doing the things we need to do. Don't let the media tell you we're not. But Donald Trump has put out a warning, and because the RNC is so much in tune with the campaign now, if you try to fuck with our elections like you did in 2020, with the pipes bursting and the counts not coming for days at a time and videos of things happening that we never got this position on, well, you're gonna be tried at the federal level to the end degree. Let's hear it. - I see. Not this same. You see all the stuff that Google and Facebook don't know what they got caught cheating on the last election, the bad things they did, the 51 agents and all of the stuff the laptop remember was Russia. It was Russia, Russia, Russia. Now it was Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. As we said, and they affected the election very much. It came out many, many points, many 11 points, 12 points. But that's what we have, and we can never let that happen again. And I said, we're going to go after anybody that gets caught cheating on the election. We're going to go after them harder than anyone's ever been shot before. 'Cause these people are really a threat that they are a threat to democracy. The Democrats are a threat to democracy. That's the real threat under my plan. - You know, and I just want people to think about this. We all see in the way on the miscarriage of justice that's been used and applied. And let's just say the people who were detained, over prosecuted, and treated just so horribly after January 6th. Especially a lot of people who essentially did nothing. You know, the selfie takers and things of that nature who end up getting no services for months before being railroaded in court and thrown in jail for years. Lives ruined. People have committed suicide over this stuff. Listen, you want to make a couple extra bucks in the selection cycle as a Democrat? You want to be able to go and virtue single after the next president is inaugurated and say, "Well, I did my job of saving democracy. "I threw 10,000 extra ballots in there. "They can't do shit to me. "Watch what will happen." You'll be thrown in the deepest, darkest dungeon this country has to offer and you'll be left there. Think about how your actions probably were the same ones that were being conducted in 2020 and they are not gonna happen in the selection moving forward. You know, no, there was a distraction. I don't know if you saw it at the rally last night. Inside of this arena that they did the Trump rally at, there was a huge, usually they're overhead. So the person that's speaking can't really see himself on the Jumbotron, right? - Well, like being able to just like look up and see, yeah, that'd be weird. You kind of don't want to see that. - Well, in the arena-- - Looking up your own nostrils and shit. - In the arena yesterday, there was, I guess to President Trump's right up on the top, right above the top level in the arena, a huge Jumbotron that he was, you know, essentially seeing himself cast in real time while he's delivering the speech. It became a little bit of a distraction and he actually had to touch on this. Listen. - What a nice looking man. Who is that? Oh, let's jump. What a wonderful looking person. I'm just checking out the hairstylist. I'm talking. I don't know. (audience cheering) - No, I'm talking. I'm talking. I'm looking up. I'm saying, I don't love it. Yeah, I really don't love it. What the hell can you do? There's nothing I can do about it, right? We're stuck with it. - He moved his hair to show that it was, he pulled his hair back to show everybody that was this real hair. - Oh, nice. - Yeah, but he was being distracted by the handsome level of, well, himself. - Did he dig? He's got plugs. - Nah. - No? - Nah. I think he's just got to comb over his hair very thin. - Yeah. - And I just don't know. With you have that much money, like there's ways you can do it where people would mail the tell. - Yeah, well, I mean, the thing is, I mean, you really don't see Donald Trump have that much work done on his face when it comes to cosmetic surgery or Botox. I really just don't think he's kind of into that. I noticed his hair has gotten shorter in stature, like thinner overall over the course of years you still have more of a quaff, if you will. And it kind of evolved into the comb over. We've seen it during the 2016 election cycle and he was doing like the, was it the ACS getting dunked for that or when Jimmy Kimmel messed up his hair? Well, I mean, he grabbed his hair and he pulled it back and he's got a forehead there and that's where his hairline is. So I'm assuming that's just where his hair is, but I guess we'll never know. He could care less about former friends as well. He could give two shits about Kamala Harris going on that staged, awfully horrific, whatever you want to call it with Oprah Winfrey this week. He doesn't care that his relationship with the former TV star. I mean, I think she's completely irrelevant now. It looks like things like the Oprah Winfrey interview have done just as much damage to President Trump's campaign as the Taylor Swift endorsement, which is not much. It's amazing that that backfired so badly. So badly. And Donald Trump was touching on that last night of tear. She can't answer a question from (audience cheering) Now, she gets out Oprah Winfrey, who I used to know well. She used to love me until I decided to run for politics. Oh, let's go to Mar-a-Lago, Donald. I love the place so much. Now, she used to love me, but once I ran for politics, that was the end of that and that was okay with me. I couldn't care less because we got to make our country great again and make it great again. Greater than ever before, but Oprah would ask just a simple question and you get this crazy answer or you don't get any answers. This is not a president. We had four years of this. We're not gonna have four more years. We won't survive it. You know, and for someone who used to write Donald Trump those love letters and say, man, I wish you were running for something like president 'cause we'd make such a great team. It's so embarrassing to see how these public figures by the dozens, if not hundreds, have just fallen off and completely bought into the Hollywood bullshit narrative that is holding the line for the party instead of doing what's best for the country. Last clip I've got before we hit the closeout. And no, I don't know if you saw yesterday, Donald Trump, while on the road, before his rally, stopped at a couple of places. He stopped at a grocery store. Family owned, went straight for the UTS popcorn, which we all know is the best popcorn. - Nice. - And on the way out, after he paid for his snacks, saw a mother who's, you know, he just kept hearing the beep, beep, beep, beep, of her groceries getting stanned, took out a hunty and dropped it on the conveyor belt for her, making her groceries cheap again. - Nice. - Yeah, but listen, if you were a betting man and after how much he's ran with this narrative, - I am a betting man. - Would it surprise you if Donald Trump showed up at a McDonald's and actually operated the fry station between now and election day? - Mm. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he gave it a shot, like grab the handle or something like that, but yeah, I don't think he's gonna know it or run a fry machine, not like Kamala Harris would or so she claimed. - Would he go hair net or do you think he'd go bareback? - I think he's gonna wear a hat. - Ooh, I like it. Well, he weighed in on this last night, a potential job, let's hear it. - Look at this. - For a long time, she's been talking about her experience at McDonald's. I worked at McDonald's over the French fries, it was so hot. I think I'm gonna go to a McDonald's next week, someplace. I'm gonna go, might not be here in your place. I'm gonna go to a McDonald's and I'm gonna work the French fry job for about a half an hour. I wanna see how it is. (audience applauding) But she said she worked since she grew up in terrible conditions. She worked at McDonald's, it was such, she never worked there. And these fake news reporters will never report it. They don't wanna report it. 'Cause they have fake, they have fake. They don't wanna report it. She never worked at McDonald's, but it was a big part of her resume. They went to the different places, did she work here, did she work here, did she work here? She said, we don't know who the hell she is, leave us alone, we'll make it at hamburgers. - We're trying to make hamburgers great a kid. Leave us alone. No, and after talking to one specific, I guess, component of the Trump campaign they did, they were able to non-publicly confirm with McDonald's corporate that she was never employed by them according to their records, be the names that she's used publicly. And as far as I know she's been Kamala Harris, what's it? I don't know who it was. One of our guests today called her Camila Harris and I absolutely just started laughing. And they smiled too because now it's like the dog whistle to say her name inappropriately, unless you're a CNN commentator. They'll call you racist live on the air, but then afterwards they'll ask you for some selfies and tell you that you guys could do. - We had one of our previous hosts from back in the day that said her name differently every time he said it. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah. And as we're getting ready to wrap here and jump in with Janae Thomas of the Trump campaign, we're gonna play what we always play at the end of every Trump rally, and that's part of the close out, let's take it out. - All right, good, powerful again. (audience cheering) We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. We will make America free again. And we will make America great again. Thank you very much, Pennsylvania. God bless you. God bless you, Pennsylvania, go home. - Noah, do I even have to ask you for a rating? - Negative. - 10 out of 10 from Noah. I ghost 10 out of 10 you in the first episode of the podcast. And opening speeches from some of the great friends of the show, Sean Parnell, Lee Zeldin. Donald Trump mentioned Lee Zeldin like 10 times throughout the course of his speech here in Pennsylvania. You know, Dave McCormick, who's running for the Senate seat there, just absolutely crushing it, gave an impassioned speech as well. I mean, I'm gonna be close. 9.7 for the first rally in North Carolina over the weekend. I'm going up to 9.8 for the Indiana, Pennsylvania rally last night. We're gonna leave it at that and be jumping in with the Janae Thomas of the Trump campaign, but before we do, let's check in again with one of our partners. - Friends, I wanna take a minute and talk to you about cigars.

Trump for President joining us for the first time. Miss Janae Thomas, thanks for coming on. - Hi, thank you for having me. - Well, listen, this is one of the busiest election cycles that I've ever seen. I believe this is the third one in a row that we're covering here on the show. We've seen things change and the new cycle spin faster than ever before. There is a lot of points that Americans are working on right now. But before we even get things started, Janae, we wanna just hear a little bit about your backstory and your process of coming to work in for President Trump, being such a critical component of the Trump campaign. And now the nearly 40-ish days we have before Election Day, early voting and ballots going out in some states. And what your goals are as we're getting ready to hit to November 5, what you're looking to do and spread the message of America first and get President Trump reelected on Election Day. - Okay, thanks for having me. I'll say I started off doing Black media engagement like about three years ago in the 2022 cycle at the RNC. So I think it's really important to get involved in those communities and get our message to those communities 'cause oftentimes a lot of Black voters don't get to see like the actual policies and the receipts. A lot of the media is very biased. So they don't get to see one side of the story. So I think it's really important to work to engage that audience and meet voters where they are. I think going forward the next 40 or so days or whatever, it's really important that we're hitting every battleground state and continuing to be in these communities and talk to voters and listen to the issues that they care about and talk about how great President Trump's policies are for all people, not just Black people, but Hispanic people, Asian people, everybody. So I think it's very important that we continue to do what we've been doing and hitting all the battleground states going forward. - You know, when you look at the policies that have been pushed on the American public, the Biden-Harris agenda over the last nearly four years, Janaya, it seems like there are a lot of people in this country, Hispanics, Asian communities, obviously the Black community as well, that have been left out, replaced, or just simply forgotten by their federal government, by their president and vice president. And you know, one of the things I've seen President Trump do, he made a really strong point of delivering that to the American people during his commencement address at the RNC this year is that he wasn't running to be the president of any demographic or the Republican party. He was running to be the president of all Americans. I think that's where the tent widening hit one of its critical maxes. Obviously adding people like Elon Musk, RFK Jr. Tulsi Gabbard along the way is big, but when you're talking about the forgotten men and women, the hard workers in this country, you have to take into consideration the Black population here in America, whether it's small business, whether it's, you know, the sanctity of family, whether it's the invasion of schools and the medical fields and good paying jobs in this country. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has pandered to a lot of demographics, but they haven't followed through on anything. We did see Donald Trump in his first term followed through. And when you look at it just in a head-to-head matchup, you want to just talk about the number one issue for all Americans and that's the economy. It seems like we're going to get four more years of Harris' misery or the Trump-booming economy that we saw happen twice during his first administration and coming to, you know, a critical demographic like the Black vote, moving forward Donald Trump, looking to get historic numbers in this category as well. I want you to tell us how his plan kind of identifies with the Black America and what you've done to kind of spread that message of how prosperous this country could be in its entirety on the other side of the ballot box and when Donald Trump gets back to the White House. - Yeah, I mean, I think you said it right yourself. You know, Donald Trump is the president that's going to put Americans first versus the Harris Biden campaign who has been, you know, funding illegal immigrants, giving them resources in minority communities, taking away from the people like the Black people that have been in these communities for decades, you know, they're giving them money to start businesses, they're giving them housing, they're giving them education and they take for granted the Black vote because they think that they're just entitled to it, you know. And President Trump's policies are policies that benefit all people, not just, you know, people in inner city communities, but whether you're in, you know, Atlanta, Detroit, or New York City, you're having these same problems as people in rural Iowa because the economy is something that's infecting all people, you know. And I think that his policies are resonating with Black voters, especially this time around us because we've seen four years of President Trump and we've seen four years of the Biden-Harris administration, you know. I think it's made it very simple for a lot of voters to be able to compare and contrast what policies benefited them back in during the Trump days versus the things that we're seeing right now. - You know, and what do you think the big pushback is? You know, it's really been frustrating to me to watch gatekeepers within the media and the Democrat Party kind of spin Donald Trump as some kind of racist, someone who's only in this for himself. I mean, you saw even during the National Association of Black Journalists, the hostile environment he had to work into when they know in the back of their minds, regardless of party affiliation, regardless of how, you know, beneficial their careers might be, let's just say if a Democrat in power, obviously, other than a Republican, that they would want an entire, you know, part of this country that is so important to making America great to just not be able to prosper because they would have to be subjected to a lot more of, well, things like the Kamala Harris opportunistic economy and open borders, the decline of schools, especially in major cities across the United States. Why do you think there's such a pushback then? Welcoming in and trying to empower Donald Trump to get into, you know, back to the White House. So moving forward, he's able to get the economy back on track and make the importance of the American family, something that's at the forefront again. I mean, you know, we've got Dr. Carson on the show today. He's been tasked with being like the faith director for Donald Trump. I think that's a huge component that we're lacking in this country right now, that I think we need to revisit in totality as a nation. But what do you think some of the major reasons are that, you know, people in the Democrat Party and the media, especially have pushed back so hard on Donald Trump when he's looking to, you know, bring everybody to the forefront and make America great again. - I mean, I think the Democrats have done a great job of manipulating people's emotions. Like their entire campaign is rain off with joy and hope, but joy and hope is not paying the bills, you know? I think they play in people's faces every day and they manipulate their emotions and they try to paint Donald Trump as a racist when that's just not the case. I tell voters every day, you have to think about facts over feelings, you know, look at the policies, look at the receipts, remove your emotions out of it and vote for the policies and principles that benefit you. - You know, when you look at Donald Trump and how he's moved around the campaign trail, especially lately, just in last week, he's been in battleground, obviously Pennsylvania last night, he was in New York of all places doing a major rally that was so well-attended both inside and outside, listen to the message that he brings. It's the second time he's done a rally type event in places like New York over the course of the last several months and then today he's down in Atlanta, Georgia, delivering remarks on the economy, getting ready to take the stage, just as we're speaking here now on Tuesday, it seems like Donald Trump outside of the retail politics and the fact that he is probably the first actually touchable candidate in modern political history where retail politicking doesn't look alien to him like it does with just about every other politician, it doesn't have to be staged, it doesn't have to be, you know, let's pretend to give the cash here at Wawa Tip so it looks like, hey, fellow normal Americans, here comes Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, this is something that Donald Trump has always done, it starts with the fact that he was a successful business owner, he made even his multi-billion corporations seem like families where he knew so many of the people from the Bellman to the people that changed the sheets in his room, all the way down to the major investors that came in, but when he's delivering these messages of economic prospering, safety and security in the streets, reinvigorating schools and the places he's doing it in, it seems like the widening of the 10 just continues to grow almost every day with his messages, and I just wanna know if you feel like this is why Donald Trump, it looks like in this cycle is looking to do better, especially with the black vote than probably any politician in modern history. - Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, his story, like resonates with a lot of black voters, I think, you know, they like the ambitious businessman aspect about him and I think that that's like a motivational thing for a lot of black voters because I hear people talk all the day about how they want to build generational wealth for their families and they wanna be able to take care of their families, they want better jobs, they want better resources in their communities, and President Trump is a candidate that has presented all those policies, he's the only one with the record of presenting all of these policies, you know. And I think that that's another reason why a lot of black voters are resonating with him as well. - I think you are on to something there. And then when you talk about the importance of the time between now and November 5th, listen, we all know that everybody's physical vote is important, whether you're doing it early, whether it's an absentee ballot, whether you are a person that prefers to go in person on election day, there is still a lot of work to be done in these communities. There's still a lot of work to be done with people mobilizing others to get involved and get out and spread the message to the community so we can have, well, he's called it too big to rig, I guess that's what we're gonna call it here during the interview. Can you tell our listenership about some of the things that you're working on or some of the suggestions you have to our listenership now, who wants to get involved and maybe doesn't know outside of just voting what they can do to help get President Trump, all the candidates that are running behind him on the bottom of the ticket over the finish line on November 5th too. - I think the biggest thing I say, especially with the black community, is being open to having the conversation, like not being scared about talking about politics with your friends and with your family members. And if you're a Trump supporter, I think it's important that we all do our part in spreading his message, you know? I think that if we want to do what's best for the country and what's gonna point the country in the right direction, then we all need to play a part in getting out the vote, showing up in our neighborhoods and talking about why President Trump's policies have been great for our communities and all communities. And I think doing early voting or voting on election day, all these things matter and taking your friends with you, your family and just making sure everybody's going and showing up to vote. - You know, and as you've seen the major decline in some of the biggest, most historically important cities, you know, to the Republic here, over the course of the last nearly four years, Genia, I'm talking about places like D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City, Chicago, et cetera, that have been overrun with crime, drug epidemic, having migrants dumped into them. How important is it for people to actually know what the issues are, where the candidates stand, and what the plausible solutions are, especially the ones that Donald Trump are bringing. I mean, just in the last couple of weeks, he's talked about the economic boom, he's talked about ending sanctuary cities, he's talking about making schools in the education system gradient, sending it back to the state so we can have, you know, actual education systems, not federally mandated, like, you know, all the weird stuff that they've put in there over the course of the past couple of decades, and how those policies will lead to more prosperous American life, better, you know, opportunities in the home for people to flourish, whether it be in small business or whether they're joining just the, you know, typical job community, and moving forward, what President Trump is offering to, you know, get the black vote out, get it motivated, get it activated, so that when he continues to go to places like Atlanta, like New York, and like Philadelphia, the message is spreading, and the people have absolutely had it with what they've seen for the last four years. - I mean, I think the biggest part is, you know, I think that we're gonna continue to show up in these cities and talk to voters, you know, whether that's Team Trump doing round tables or President Trump talking to voters directly. I think that's a big part of, you know, getting the message out, but I think that also, you know, we have to all play our part in doing that as well, you know, like he's one person, he's gonna do as much as he can, but I think all of us on Team Trump are willing to get out there and get our message out to people. And I think, you know, President Trump is the president to put Americans first. He's the only president that has put Americans first. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, they've done nothing, but everybody else first, but Americans, you know, they've prioritized all these illegal immigrants in our communities over the people that have been there forever. So I think President Trump is the one that has done all these things, and if you wanna continue to put American first, then vote for President Trump. - No, that's a great point there. And then can I just ask you, as we're getting ready to come with you now, how has this experience been for you? I mean, you know, you've seen probably growing up and working through politics. I know you've worked for the GOP, obviously you've been on other campaigns as well. You've kind of been able to travel the country and talk to Americans for years, talk about the pulse of the nation, but to see Donald Trump and his rise to popularity, you know, he's nearly at the end of one of the greatest comeback stories, obviously, that will be with a completion of his second term, but going around the country and experienced someone who's really looking out for the average blue collar, middle-class, hard-working Americans, and then bringing in so many other people under the tent that traditionally, you know, Republicans wouldn't even worry about because the Democrats just, you know, kind of expected as a slam-dunk vote, see the way that Donald Trump has really resonated with Black America and how they're behind his policies for making America great again. How has that experience been for you? And what does anything else you have to tell to the potential voters who are listening to the show today? - I mean, I think it's very inspiring. I always feel super inspired when I'm out, you know, in different cities talking to people because the narrative that the media likes to present is not real. I think every time I'm in a different city, I hear different people saying how much they love President Trump, more Black people than ever, especially since, you know, 2020, like it's a completely different sentiment around President Trump than it was four years ago, you know? I think that the way the media likes to portray it is that, you know, Black people aren't voting for President Trump and they think he's a racist, and that's just not true at all. I think, like I said earlier, you know, it doesn't get more simple than being able to compare and contrast the difference between the two administrations, you know? And I think that, you know, it's very helpful to see the way that people have started to shift towards him. I know you've seen some of the man on the street videos of, you know, people who don't know what you're asking, like who you're voting for. And a lot of Black people are saying they're voting for President Trump, but not just men, but women too, you know? I think we've emphasized a lot on Black men, but there's a lot of Black women that are not with Kamala Harris as well. And I think we're all willing, wanting to see a change, and that's why he's resonating with our community. - No, I think it's a resonation that's gonna carry him over the finish line of November 5th as well. And we think you're an inspiration, you've been great, taking some time out of your very busy schedule to come and share with us today. We're gonna live link anything you've got in the show description today. In addition to that, tell us where we can find you on social media, we'll live link that as well. - All of my social media is just Janae R. Thomas, Janae S. J. and IYH. - And this is the director of Black Media 4, Donald Trump for President 2024. Welcome to the show for the first time. Great kitchen up with Janae Thomas. Thanks for joining us today. Have a great rest of your week. - Thank you. - You know, I thought when I got to be president, I get to do things that I want to do, but my staff tells me what I can't do. But I'm gonna do it anyway. All the young women, young kids out there that are out there, come on up and do this one. Stand behind me and we're gonna do this, come on up. - All right, jump back into the news portion of the show here. Last news segment on the back end of two big Tuesday editions of the "Stake Breakfast" podcast. That was, I guess, now sleepy Joe Biden, Noah. It kind of almost feel bad for the guy. - His staff was probably cringing when he started doing that. They're like, "Oh, fuck, here he goes." But then again, they're not actually paid to care anymore. - That's a very good point you bring up. And, you know, it's one of those things where he did have a whole bunch of, I guess, young women to sniff on the back end of his speaking remarks. So, nice. - Yeah, it's one of those things, we're running on the wheels. Joe Biden was at the United Nations today, given a teleprompter stuttering, losing his place, trying to make a joke out of its speech, where he talked about, you know, we definitely see a potential end to the hostilities that are currently going on in Israel as they're bombing this shit out of Lebanon and Hezbollah right now not caring about the United States leadership, as is the case, except when money's involved for a lot of our allies around the world. Things that we hope change in January of next year, as we're getting ready to look into a little bit about what's going on within the Beltway, on the campaign trail, and beyond in our last new segment. So, all right, no, there's been some more developments here. Not only are we supposedly getting a Kamala Harris opportunity, economy, plan, laid out this week, tomorrow, on Wednesday, the Harris campaign is now weighing whether or not it would be prudent for her to go down and do probably an extremely staged photo opportunity at the real U.S. southern border. - On Friday. - On Friday. - Perfect. It's a bold move, Cotton. - Yeah, let's see if it works out for him, or he's in. - There you go. Surrogates from the Harris campaign without trying to spoil how bad or a copied version of President Trump's is gonna be. Sent out some low-level surrogates over the weekend to fill up the Sunday morning news circuit and try to lay out for Americans what potentially might be, but don't quote them on it 'cause the Vice President speaks for herself sometimes in regards to her economic plan. Confused? So were we, let's check it out. - It's Harris' plan. We're waiting. Okay, there's a lot of aspects to it in regards to looking at it online. So, let's talk about lowering the grocery costs because that's something that's brought up. The viewers can look at this online. She talks about certain things in regards to advancing the first federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries, to set clear rules to the road to make it clear that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers as well. - Is that happening anymore? - Is that happening? - Is that happening? - Oh. - It's not at this moment. No, this is her plan that's laid out for the first hundred days when she becomes president of the United States of America. - Is that currently happening? - Let's. - In regards to the, I don't know exactly if that's currently happening or not because I'm not privy to that type of information, but there are people are costing a lot of money in regards to groceries. - Oh. - And that potentially is-- - Time-time articulating or planning. I'm not, honestly, that's not true. I'm constantly being interrupted by you, which as a woman, I think is disrespectful. - I'm trying to speak every time I try and speak you. - You're giving me a lot of time. - You speak over me. Okay, final thought. Thank you so much for having me. - Nice. - I was giving you time there. All right. - I like it when they get called out for just being insufferable. The first thing they do is, well, obviously, I wasn't doing that. Okay, go ahead. - Meanwhile at Harris Walt's campaign headquarters. - Damn, that was, I think that we're fucked, right? (laughing) My goodness, that was horrible. I mean, listen, I'd like to be able to compare and contrast. I'd like to be able to have bring people on the show that could argue both points here, but to think that you're getting anything less than the shit we're getting now in worst form because you'll have someone that could potentially articulate it, although I'm even having my doubts about that better than Joe Biden right now in Kamala Harris. And then when you talk about the vice presidential debate that's coming up, JD Vance is extremely prepared for this in every component I know, he's going to absolutely destroy Tim Walts. It's not gonna have too big of a weight on the overall election as we don't vote for vice presidents here in the country, we vote for presidents, but Tim Walts is literally Buffalo Bill from Science of the Lambs. I have no doubt in my mind. Him and his weird family and... Listen, they're trying to see if they can steal it again. That's the only way I could rationally look at this election. They offer you nothing. $25,000 for first time homebuyer credits, no tax on tips copied, increased child tax credit, copied from JD Vance, increased tax deductions for small business startup costs. Doesn't matter if you help small businesses get started, when they have to kind of operate in this economy, let's just say if they're anything in the restaurant industry, you're paying out the ass for everything, so you're pricing it through the roof, you don't do business and you close down. Then guess what? Yo money on those loans you got from the government that you'll never be able to pay. You declare bankruptcy and probably drive yourself off a cliff. Where Donald Trump is looking, no tax on tips on social security, tips over time and make the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent in addition to another middle-class Trump tax cut coming in the second administration. And that's just the start. We're not talking about taxes and tariffs on foreign entities, we're not talking about bringing back American manufacturing and energy. We're not gonna see any of that stuff in a Harris-Wallace administration and people need to understand how deadly serious these people are when I tell you they're trying to steal this. Kevin O'Leary best knew for Shark Tank, but operates hundreds of businesses around the country and has thousands, if not tens of thousands of employees who have suffered under the last four years, jumped on Fox Business yesterday. He had saw a brief portion of that clip leading into his commentary on what potentially a Harris economic plan could look like. Well, here's what he had to say. - Is it? Who's better for the economy? - I don't know yet 'cause I don't have any details from Harris. - It's just what I say. - She has been all sugar, no protein, that's it. And it's become a really big sticking point with investors. We've gotta remember we have the largest economy on earth. Over 85% of our jobs are created by the private sector. Business investors like me and leaders have to deal with who's ever in the White House in January. So whoever ends up on the 6th of November is the new mandate, we'll have to deal with them. So we need data, we need policy. And I'm getting a little critical now because I don't have any. So I need answers around taxation. For example, if you tell me that taxes are gonna be 28% plus state taxes on corporations headquarters, I'll have to worry that they move to Ireland again 'cause we did that to them once and that didn't work out for us very well. I really need to understand the idea of price controls that didn't work in the '70s. It doesn't work anywhere else on earth. And this whole idea of taxing, unrealized gains, I mean, you gotta remember the number one export of America is the American dream. This is a 200 year old economy that's based on supporting entrepreneurship. That destroys capital formation. Those ideas are beyond non-starters, they're crazy. And so you have to get more details on that. And I'd like her to sit down with a non-celebrity interviewer, a real reporter that asks her questions and follow on questions. This kumbaya stuff with pictures of kids and everything, it's great and I get it and I'm not criticizing her for it 'cause it's working for in the polls. But now we need details and we don't have any. - I don't know if it is working for in the polls, Noah. You're gonna have to be the judge of that. So will the American voter on November 5th and everyone that's voting in lieu of early? You know, one of the most dangerous parts of the Harris plan was that unrealized capital gains. You know how that works, right? Yup. You buy a house. - You get fucked. - It's worth a hundred grand. You pay a hundred percent. You taxes on the 100% of what your home value is. The price of your house increases, let's just say next year, it's worth $200,000 while you're then gonna be taxed at that rate and so on and so forth. Moving forward and up until you are taxed into oblivion. No longer own anything. And again, and I don't wanna make it seem like the reoccurring theme, but probably drive yourself off a cliff in what the economy will look like over the course of the next four years, if not longer under Harrison Walt. So, no, I mean, when you just talk about the unrealized gains tax, what do you think? Destruction of the-- - Not good. - Yeah, control over price gouging. Do you see any price gouging going on? I see people having to pay a higher rate because everything, starting with the energy sector, is so out of whack right now, it's causing just to be able to the machines that, let's just say cultivate the fields, the machines that also pull up the crops and their process that also costs energy then shipping them from here to there until they eventually get to the store, the energy that you use to get them from the grocery store to your house. It's a nightmare. - Yeah, fuel prices through the roof because of completely avoidable shit that the government has decided to do. Emptying the strategic petroleum reserve and all that stuff. - Good point. - And then on top of that, everything they've done to completely hamstring the trucking industry. - Yeah. - Because of their green new bullshit. And that's what's driving costs up because you cut down on the amount of people that are able to transport shit. The price goes up, wow, weird. - This has been one of the things you've definitely cracked down on and done a lot of research on. Obviously, we bring in Congressman Mike Collins from Georgia, often the man owns a trucking company, knows what it's like to have to operate or not as well in this current administration and economic climate. And then we have to look at the poll numbers now. Let's jump into the numbers. Let's jump into the inconsistencies with them. I heard O'Leary kind of allude to the fact that, oh yeah, well, these photo ops are working out for Kamal Harris in the polls. Are they really? Aren't we being told the truth or not? Let's listen to this clip and then we'll look at some of the numbers from this week. Let's check it out. - Look at this latest poll. Again, I know people have their views of the polls, but this is incredible New York Times. See in a college poll, they actually asked voters about policies from both Trump and Harris that they think could impact them in the future. And 45% of the voters say Trump's policies would actually help people like them versus just 37% for Harris. That's looking at the future, not just the past here. What do you say to that, Ian? - Well, again, there's been some Quinnipiac polls just over the last few days that suggest a different picture of the country of people thinking that her economic or immigration or reproductive freedom plans would help them more. The polls are going to kind of shift around a little bit. - And that was top Harris surrogate, Ian Sam. I'm trying to make excuses for the poll numbers that have come out that I've seen over the course of the last couple of days shifting. I've pulled some of them from the weekend, but also have ones that came out today. And it's hard to kind of explain. So Polymarket, which is where the money's going. I mean, obviously, this has been historically left leaning outlet, but you have to look where the dollars and cents are. Kamal Harris had, I believe, a 5% lead. Last week, it's down to 5148 Harris. And that's down two points from last week for her. So you see that kind of shifting. And then some of the ones from the weekend. This is from, this was NBC's poll that they used as ammo to fuel all of their interviews on the Sunday morning new circuit. Who do you trust more on the issue? Securing the border, Trump 54 Harris 33. The economy, Trump 50 Harris 41. Crime, Trump 47 Harris 41. Again, that's an NBC poll of 1,000 registered voters. This is from Battleground States. Choice for president. Michigan 5048 Harris, Pennsylvania 4949 tied. Wisconsin 5048 Harris. So again, within the margin of error in all of those states. And then a new CBS poll that came out Sunday morning. This is for general election. They had Kamal Harris up four points. That's up one point from the week before 52 to 48. And then in the, and that's out of YouGov. And then the NBC poll had Harris 4944. That's plus five over Donald Trump. Kind of interesting there. 'Cause you hear the itemized. Who do you trust more on the issues? And Donald Trump is nearing double digits and several of them. I saw one that came out today from political polls. And this is from Quinnipack. Obviously left leaning. Who do you trust more on the issue? Same question that was asked Sunday. Different poll outlet. Immigration, Trump 5345. Economy, Trump 5245. Crisis that puts the country at risk, Trump 51 47. So in every issue, kitchen table down to threats to democracy is that last one was veiled in. Donald Trump leads minimum of four points, but nearing double digits in things like immigration, crime and safety, geopolitics and the economy. So if Donald Trump is leading on all the major issues that are gonna affect people who are going to vote between now and November 5th, how is he losing in some polls by five points nationally? I'm not talking about the popular vote. Electorally as well. You just have to remember something. The media has nothing to talk about if this election turns into another case of Donald Trump versus Joe Biden. If Donald Trump is up by anywhere between 10 and 21 points, which a multitude of pollsters had him at before Joe Biden was kicked out of the race, then they would have nothing to talk about except the incoming Trump presidency. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would have nothing to do period for the country between now and January of next year because they'd be beyond lame dunk. She'd be a defeated candidate before we even go to the ballot box. I really do feel like Donald Trump is gonna scoop up at least five or six of the critical battleground states, which includes Pennsylvania, which will end the election for the chance of electoral victory for Kamala Harris and Tim Walts. But just know that over the course of the next 42 days, we are gonna see so much bullshit that suggests the otherwise. And this is the oldest form of a legal way of voter suppression ever used. And it's demoralizing the opposition party. Don't you agree, Noah? - Yeah, it's the worst. - And why would it be anything else? Kamala Harris, and it's like the argument for these polls doesn't even exist, as Kevin O'Leary pointed out, because Kamala Harris has offered nothing in regards to an economic plan, what she plans to do in the border, and ending the forever foreign wars, which are spinning out of control. So we'll have to check it out. And much like I think the Blosping relationship we've seen happening on social media between Italian Prime Minister George Maloney and SpaceX mogul Elon Musk, we'll have to wait and see what happens. I think they're banging already, though. What about you, Noah? - Yeah, yeah. - She said he had, what did she say? Precious genius the other day when she was accepting award in New York for like Global Citizen of the Year, or something, she said he had Precious genius. - That code word for "Girthy"? - Ooh, just so romantic. I was like, "Mama Mia." I think George Maloney's pretty. And Elon Musk, you know, that guy's a fox, to say the least. And I think he's hanging out in the Italian head house, if you know what I mean. - Ooh! - You hear me, you hear me?

You'll never miss out on all the great stuff we've got going on down here at the show, like our top tier guest list today, which we're going to conclude on the back end of this segment with Texas Representative Pat Fallon. I saw a CNN news segment the other day, which focused heavily on talking to average people on the streets, Pennsylvania voters, in regards to the upcoming election. I do think that the Keystone State will be just such for Donald Trump winning the electoral college in a victory over Kamal Harris in November. I think Donald Trump's message is really starting to resonate there. And outside of the Sapphire Blue Cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the rest of Pennsylvania is getting motivated and activated to send Donald Trump to the White House again. Let's hear some of the segment where they were talking to voters about Donald Trump coming in, win in Pennsylvania and saving America. Dr. Janice is the vice chair of the Washington County Board of Commissioners. A 28 year old Republican voting for Trump, she thinks that Trump can keep the gains he made with younger voters when Biden was still in the race. I will say, when I'm voting for President Trump, I'm not voting for a person. I'm voting for his policies. Their volunteer base has grown in Pennsylvania significantly. And I think what they need to do is get the young passionate, motivated individuals out there seeking other young individuals to do the same. For that, the Trump campaign is turning to people like Steven Kale. Did you ever expect to be working on a political campaign? I did not. The 33 year old service technician from outside Pittsburgh was motivated to knock doors after he witnessed the former president get shot at his Butler rally in July. When I saw that day, I just wanted to help out. For Kale, that means out working Harris volunteers and staying on message with younger voters as much as possible. I started off by talking about the economy, their cost of living, especially if they're in college, paying higher prices for gas, utilities. And then ending those forever wars, which I think for a lot of our young voters, listen, nobody wants the draft to come back. No. And an escalation to things like nuclear war in any corner of the globe would put such a stress on armed forces that who knows what the outcome would be or who would be next up in line to serve in the United States. It's something that we don't talk about enough. I know Donald Trump is stressed. We don't like to use the N word there. Two of them, we don't say either one of them here on the show. But it seems like at the forefront of those Pennsylvania voters, it's keeping American industry here, reinvigorating the energy sector, and then fixing the economy, which I know Donald Trump all has plans for right now. No one can articulate it better, whether it's me stuttering and having to have to press the flag button so Noah could edit them out. Or hypothesizing on what could or should be. Then one of our national treasures, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy. He was asked to provide some commentary on the possibility of prospering under the Harris Wall's regime. And well, he kind of framed it in a way only he can. Let's check it out. The second part of her plan is race taxes. Ms. Harris wants to raise the top personal income tax rate. She wants to raise capital gains taxes. She wants to raise inheritance taxes. She wants to raise corporate income taxes. She wants to tax unrealized capital gains for the first time in American history. She even wants to tax wealth. And she believes we're one tax increase away from prosperity. I don't know a single economist who is or which has said it will work. The tax foundation did a very careful analysis. As you said, the tax foundation says that Ms. Harris' plan will cost us about 800,000 jobs. It'll shrink the economy about 2%. It'll cut wages at least 1.2%. And in my judgment, it'll also cause prices to go even higher. I mean, this plan is like a rock, only dumber. I love him. He's hilarious. And as we're getting ready to wrap here, I don't want you to think that some of the point in commentary we have here on the show is something that you only find on places like steak for breakfast or maybe some of the more conservative leaning outlets. I did notice this week, and I saw it, I believe, on Instagram. So someone shared a video of a news segment from Sky News, you know, they're reporting in either Europe or England, obviously Australia as well. And they were kind of peeking in on the presidential race. More specifically, Kamala Harris' candidacy. And for as much as they try to hide it, how stoic they attempt to still make Joe Biden look, how smart and multicultural they tell you Kamala Harris is, if you don't think the rest of the world is absolutely laughing in our face while we live in this little bubble called the next 42 days of our presidential election cycle, well, check this out. Let's move on to the US now, and Kamala Harris has sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a friendly interview today, as opposed to every other interview that's done. Here's some of what she had to say. I look around at these screens, Oprah, I look at who's in the room, and this is America. This is. This is America. You know, I was saying with a group of friends earlier, I think in this moment where we've dealt with so much that I think is quite exhausting around powerful forces that would try and divide us and try us to have us as Americans pointing fingers at each other. But this movement that is about reminding each other that we have so much more in common than what separates us. Tina, do you have any idea what she's on about? I mean, I think she wasn't talking about the middle class. No, she doesn't like she's on some drug, but I don't have no idea either. But the good news is, ignore all that polling. I've got some pretty good contacts in Washington, and I'll tell you now, Trump will win, where he needs to be in front, he's in front, and he'll keep his nose in front. Okay, well, Tanya, you feeling is confident because a new national poll today has them pretty much tied on 47%. Do you share? Oh, look, I share this confidence, and I think, look, you know, there's nothing worse than having a Californian interview, another Californian. I mean, that's not where the election is going to be destroyed. It's going to be decided in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, you know, those states where people are doing it tough, okay? And they don't care what celebrities think. No, I think it's for Trump. I like it. I'll allow it. People shit on our political elites relentlessly, and I love every second of it. They have done some pretty extensive work on Joe Biden, and have laughed themselves in the commercial several times over the years. Some of the clips, which have made the cut here on stake for breakfast, exhausting start of the week. We're only a Tuesday, and as we're going to round out here, there's a big event happening this week, Noah. We've seen all of the videos from back in 2016, and that is the national recognition, the Al Smith Dinner, where all of the elites in the political orbit, the incoming candidates for president from both sides of the aisle, you remember that iconic tuxedo, white tie affair where Donald Trump roasted Hillary Clinton talked about to all the Democrats how they used to be friends with him until he ran for office. He told Hillary Clinton that he'd expect her to be asking him for a pardon. His remember locker up was a big theme of the 2016 election cycle. Donald Trump will be there as in 2020 he didn't need to be because he was the sitting president, not a candidate. However, Kamala Harris has turned down the offer to appear as not wanting to look like weaker or getting roasted by Donald Trump, even though she would have the opportunity to do the exact same thing to him. Noah, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, I don't even know, I don't even know how to explain how people are not just laughing hysterically at our political system right now. And if you don't think that Donald Trump has got some heaters on deck for Kamala Harris who will be not attending, he's going to drop them anyway. Let's give you a little taste of what Hillary Clinton had to deal with back in 2016. All of the heated back and forth between my opponent and me at the debate last night, we have proven that we can actually be civil to each other. In fact, just before taking the dais, Hillary accidentally bumped into me and she very civilly said pardon me. And I very politely replied, let me talk to you about that after I get into office. We're going to get a taste of that again and listen, and I want everybody to remember. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Kamala Harris and her husband, you name it. Listen, all the ABC execs, George Stephanopoulos, these were all guests at Donald Trump's wedding to Melania Trump. You know, and now look at how the tables have turned that Donald Trump has used the golden years of his time left on this planet to try and make America great again and how they've all turned against him. You have to be able to take into consideration the fact that he's in this for more reasons in himself. He's physically and not just metaphorically dedicated himself to winning back the White House. He's almost lost his life at least twice that the American public's been aware of. The reports today, there may have been a third attempt or a third attempt ramping up. There's been like five attempts though, like in total, I think, like not successfully like even remotely close to executed like these two, but like there is the one where they tried to grab one of the law enforcement officers guns at one of the rallies. I guess there was a couple of other ones. I'm not really familiar with all of them, but yeah, the guys, the guys got a few extra lives. Apparently. Certainly does. And maybe, you know, talking about eating the cats and dogs is something that in another plane of the multiverse, he's gained lives on. Maybe it's Shinzo Abe and all of those great memes that come out. Donald's son looked to your left. Absolutely fantastic. But as we're getting ready to jump in with Texas Congressman Pat Fallon and our last audio clip of the day, let's hear someone who's been very loyal to Donald Trump over the years. Maria Bartiromo, close it out on Fox News today, talking about the Al Smith dinner and the fact that Kamala Harris is not attending, let's listen. Why she's skipping the dinner. I mean, it's in step with what she's been doing, skipping interviews. Okay? Skipping press conferences. She still has yet to articulate an actual policy plan that's cohesive and will explain to us, tell us what she wants to do in the next four years. Donald Trump is doing interview after interview telling us he's going to tap into the energy capacity in America. He's going to extend the tax cuts, no tax on tips, no tax on social security, all this stuff. She has yet to really put forth a plan and that Oprah interview, wow, I can't even believe she gets away with this stuff during that Oprah interview. She said something like, if anybody comes in my house, they're going to get shot. I mean, imagine if Trump said that, wow, and that just goes, it's no problem. The media doesn't even, you know, discuss it. And then, you know, she had a word salad when asked by a wonderful couple who had a very important question, what are you, what is your plan to rate an inflation? No answers. So I'm not surprised that she's skipping the Al Smith dinner because it's another opportunity for the public to see her raw, to see her trade bar. I don't think she can trade barbs. We all know what happened there in the debate and moving forward, it doesn't look like we're going to have another one. So what we're getting out on the campaign trail now, which is a lot of fugazi from the Harris campaign and a lot of ways to solve the problems that are best and greatly affecting this country right now from Donald Trump. But we'll have to see how it shakes out. We're here for it. You know, we're under 40 days by the time our next podcast airs on Friday. So don't you worry, we're along for the ride and we've got you safely and securely within our podcast apparatus. We're going to leave it at that for today as we're getting ready to jump in with Texas Congressman Pat Fallon. But before we do, a final check in with one of our partners.

He's the congressman who represents Texas' fourth congressional district. Always happy to welcome back Representative Pat Fallon. Thanks for coming back on the show. Oh, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Big pleasure. Always great to host and we're going to jump right into this. So we've had some recent developments. They're coming in the media and probably much to hear we have not at the end of congressional investigations regarding now the second assassination attempt on President Trump's life. Congressman, where we didn't get a clear picture months now after the Butler incident in regarding what happened leading up to the moments where President Trump was almost assassinated. Now we have some more stymming and delaying not being transparent with the American people from the Department of Homeland Security. The Secret Service and the FBI regarding the second assassin into President Trump and just want to get your commentary on probably the satisfaction level or lack thereof regarding the congressional investigations and how they've been stonewalled up to this point with only the developments coming from whistleblowers and leaks to the media. Well that's just it. If we didn't have whistleblowers and informants in the leaks, we wouldn't know a lot of what we know right now. We still haven't even seen the rifle from the FBI. We still haven't received official word as to whether or not it was a red dot scope or a magnified scope. It was a red dot scope from everything that we've heard from our whistleblowers and contacts that members of Congress have. But let's take a real quick look at what happened in Butler because your listeners really need to know and understand the close proximity of that building. I was there a few weeks ago and the very first building that you need to secure beyond the three that were behind the president is clearly the AGR building. The AGR building, it's a complex really of buildings and four or five different ones. But there's one that presents a very big problem. It's the one that the shooter, a 20-year-old kid that was clearly mentally unstable. He picked it out. He flew a drone. He said this is where I want to take my shot. But the Secret Service didn't see that. They didn't see how dangerous that was. I mean it boggles my mind. So that was the one thing that struck me was how close it was. You can see it on the satellite imagery, but when you're there, you're thinking, we need to own that building. There's no incense about it about all the locals will secure it maybe. It's we need to have a definitive plan. We need to have three different walkthroughs. We need to make sure everybody understands that we need redundancy on that building. For instance, there was a water tower behind it that could have covered the stage and the rooftop of the AGR building. They didn't put anybody on the water tower. I don't know why. They could have cleared the AGR complex. Their employees were not there that day. It was a Saturday and their management said steer clear of the building. With just even a dozen local law enforcement officers, you could have police taped the four or five acres, put up signs saying no entry and constantly patrolled it. So that shooter wouldn't have been able to get down the property. You could have used cameras on the roof. You could have had a drone above the building. They didn't do any of these things. And then furthermore, there were scores of people that were on that complex that day, that were 50 yards closer to the president than the shooter that didn't go through any magnetometers or any security checks. They were on the other side of a short, weak, shame, leak fence. You have got to be kidding me. No, you certainly do. And then when you see the latest developments in the case down in Florida, the one that happened almost in West Palm a week ago, and the fact that Governor Ron DeSantis has come out and said the Department of Justice, the FBI and investigators working on this case have been giving him problems in regards to working with some of the evidence as he is looking to bring state charges against the person, ones that would probably amplify the ones already brought by the federal government. Does it surprise you that, you know, maybe in an attempt not to look bad, that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's federal agencies are not willing to work with state and local like Governor DeSantis or some of the sheriff's officers who are involved here, or are they just trying to slow walk this to the election and if President Trump wins, it becomes essentially the next session of Congress's and the next president's problem to deal with. I think they're both particularly the secret service and to some degree, the FBI are in CYA mode, you know, to cover your backside mode, if you will, in particularly with the secret service. The director was fired. Now the acting director is essentially auditioning to be the director and yes, while I do like the fact that he's having an occasional press conference and then says, but I'm not going to law it in for saying that, oh, it was our mistake. You know, we screwed up. No, no kidding. You screwed up. That's what I want you to tell me is why. Tell me specifically where the breakdowns were. Tell me how you're going to mitigate those breakdowns in the future and tell me the cultural changes that you need to make within the secret service that you're going to make because he gave us a briefing and a classified setting a week or so ago at the task force and he said that the secret service doesn't need cultural changes. And I'm like, oh, well, oh, contrary mode for air, that's not what the whistleblowers are telling us. That's not what we've seen with our own eyes. For instance, let me tell you this. When you're on a protective detail as a secret service agent, you're going through for every eight weeks, you're on that detail. Two of those weeks, you're in training, you're in training, sharpening your skills, which is a very good idea. If you're going to be, oh, I don't know, allegedly the most, you know, the best protective agency in the world. When you're not in, when you're in the secret service and not on a protective detail, and some of these people can be in the field, that a field office for 20 plus years, there's no more training. They have to go to the range every quarter to take target practice, which means when you have a principal for, you know, presidential candidate, president, vice president, when they are in, let's say Butler, Pennsylvania, and they pull people from the Pittsburgh field office to be, you know, to be in protection that day, they're not really trained anymore to do the job that we all would assume as a secret service agent, they would be the best in the world that. That's a change that needs to be made. They need to also embrace technology. I mean, there's several instances where I can show you that they're using 20-year-old, 25-year-old technology. Sure. So, you know, they need to embrace it, and they're not. Do you think Congress has any, is going to have at least the opportunity to sit down with DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in any kind of formal committee fashion before now, and the end of the session. Has it gotten to the point where he's already been impeached? He hasn't, you know, changed an inch in his open borders policy, the direction of Kamal Harrison, Joe Biden, et cetera, that it's probably not even worse, having him tell you that he doesn't have the data or his office will get back to you by the time the session closes? Well, that's what they do, and you're absolutely right. I mean, he should have been in the forefront of this. Where's he been? Sure. This is, these folks work for the Department of Homeland Security, and he has been MIA on this issue. He's not taking the lead, and he's not a leader, he's just a partisan hack. So, the best thing we can do at this point is the task force is going to continue to press on its best weekend over the next two months, and we need to fire Kamala Harris, we need unified government, we need to hold the House, win the Senate, and have President Trump back in the White House, then we'll get, then we'll see true reform. First of all, you're going to see a secure border. You're going to see true reform, real reforms within a lot of these federal agencies, and we have to stop this weaponization, and we have to, there, Congress provides oversight to these agencies, and they just ignore us. So, then it's got to be, you know, a power of the first issue as well. Sure. No, that's definitely something. The 119th session will be looking forward to tracking, hopefully, with Republicans maintaining that majority, flipping the Senate over to Republican control, and Donald Trump will turn him back to the White House, is where I kind of want to segue next, Congressman. You know, you've seen this race kind of develop. It's almost a joke to me every weekend to watch the Sunday morning new circuit roll out. They'll have all these polls come from, you know, the Times and the Washington Post, and all the other ones in between who are CBS and ABC, NBC come out, and so that Donald Trump is leading, in some instances, on the biggest issues, the economy, border safety, safety and security in the streets, geopolitical issues, nearing double digits, but then have them nearly tied or Kamala Harris with a slight lead in a lot of these national polls. As you've seen, Donald Trump run this race, command of the RNC, galvanized with a strong Republican base, widened that 10, bringing in people like Elon Musk and RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to kind of expand to abroad, and other members within or outside of the Republican party that historically Republican candidates wouldn't do, normally in election cycles. You know, you see him battling in the battleground states almost every week, Pennsylvania last night, he's down in Georgia today, you know, it says a lot for the comeback story that is Donald Trump and kind of a redefinition of the art of the deal here. But to see this race that he's running and the race that Kamala Harris isn't, you know, she plans on doing something economically, maybe this week, talking about opportunist economies and things of that nature, and then they're even weighing the facts that they maybe she should go down to the Southern border three and a half, now nearly four years too late. Give us a little commentary on how you see this race rolling out and how much more of America is woken up in this cycle than maybe even just the last one, no, that all really good points. Let's take, for instance, the polls, number one, a lot of the polls that you see are registered voters. Those are meaningless. Throw them in the garbage. Literally. You've got a cigar, light that paper on light that poll on fire and light your cigar because the only good that that has, you got to go with likely voters and you have to go with the correct sampling. And there are a lot of instances they're not doing even the likely voters and when they do likely voters are not doing proper sampling to try to wait it, try to put the thumb on the scale to make her look more competitive than he really is. Remember, the Democrats have a candidate that didn't get one single vote in their primary process. If you wrote a novel, you know, a fiction, you wrote some fiction, this is stranger than to see that that's their nominee, and they're trying to make her out to be, you know, holier than that one. She hasn't done anything. They, Joe Biden, whether you, and I like to start because I did this in questioning the other, the other day. Follow the borders are liberals heads explode. Steve, I'm in the part of our, okay, so let me read you the quote when Joe Biden put her in charge of what, mitigating illegal migration from Mexico and the Northern Triangle on Doris, Guatemala, El Salvador, he clearly did that. She took on that job and she failed miserably. After the Trump administration, for all four years, there was 1.8 million illegal crossings from folks from those four countries. Then Kamala Harris comes in to save the day and what happened, 4.3 million in three and a half years, we haven't even finished, and that's climbing, so it could get close to 5 million. It's like almost, it's doing half times worse. Should she fail miserably at the job that she was given? I think what the liberals are trying to do is proper up with a self-fulfilling prophecy that they're hoping that, oh no, yeah, she's, she's been M.I.A.M. policy and look at how well President Trump is doing with African-American voters and Hispanic voters. He very well-made win Hispanic vote in the state of Texas. Think about that. George W. Bush would have loved to have gotten any Republican, would have loved to have gotten one out of every five black male votes. That's incredible. I think he's going to have a very good night come November, first Tuesday, November. No, I completely agree with you, but one of the things you mentioned, it's one of the top two issues that are facing Americans right now, that is the effects of the Americans are feeling from the Biden-Harris open border policies. We've seen these crimes ramped up earlier in the year. There were several murders of people who were released under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. Now we see gangs and transnational cartel entities operating freely in the United States taking over portions of towns and communities, business entities, et cetera. It just seems like this is something that we haven't seen in this country ever and it's causing a change in not just communities, but in the way America operates as being the land of opportunity because when you have these policies like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have allowed to spin out of control over the last four years and instead of being the American dream that immigrants looking to come to this country have to work for, it's just given to them. It kind of changes just the way that America is. Now as you see, this is one of the top two biggest issues outside of the economy facing voters in the election. How do you see in a border state like Texas, how much of things change and even if it's just to your constituents down in Texas for, how much do they see this as issue one or one a now moving forward and heading towards the November elections? No doubt every poll that we've ever done for the last five years, the illegal immigration has been the top number one issue, particularly for Republican voters in Texas. But what you're doing, this open border has made more Texans be Republican voters, case in point what we see along the border. President Trump lost every border county by double digits to Hillary Clinton in 2016, but then in 2020 he was very competitive, in fact he won some border counties or down near tied in many of them. Then you saw Tony Gonzalez get elected on the border in a congressional district and then Byra Flores and then Monica Delacruz. We almost won all of the border districts that didn't include El Paso and on the Republican side of the ledger. Then you had a state rep Ryan Guillen switch parties from Democrats to Republicans and Jani Lopez and John Luhan Hispanic Republicans win in traditional democratic districts because those folks down there are living on the front edge tip of the spear of illegal immigration and they are sick of the chaos, the corruption, the crime and the cartels. Our districts were about five, six hundred miles north of the southern border and guess what's happened over in Texas over the last decade, but probably 12 years, 299,000 illegal immigrants have been charged with 513,000 crimes resulting in 187,000 convictions. Wow. Texas and just Texas along, 8% of the population, when you extrapolate those numbers, you're talking about just colossal hit to our security and if you're not safe, then you're not free. So we are talking ultimately about freedom of Americans when we're talking about the safety of our citizens and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have failed us miserably. As you can see, I get a bit hotter than the collar when we talk about this stuff because it is absolutely insane to allow other nation-states to flush their criminal trash into your country. And I'm not saying that the vast majority of people coming across the border are law abiding citizens that other than the fact that they crossed our border illegally and they're looking for a better life. I get that. I understand that. Even if just 1% are criminals intent on doing harm, that is, what, 80, 120,000 new criminals committing crimes all over the country, that's awful. Yeah. No, it certainly is. And then when you mentioned national security in there, the last thing I want to touch with you on Congressman, you know, recently, Israel's opened up a second front into their war and the response on what happened on, you know, October 7th there and they're more engaged directly now in Lebanon with Hezbollah. Listen, we have a lot of questions about things that are going on with the Biden-Harris regime over the course of the last three plus years. But as we head towards the November elections, who's really at the command and control this country? The chief operating executive essentially the world is probably something that's a concern to a lot of Americans. I mean, we see Joe Biden just absolutely absent for many of his duties for getting which world leader he has up there, turning over cabinet level, meetings to his wife, et cetera. Now, listen, Israel, they have to be at the forefront when we talk about geopolitics and who are number one allies in the Middle East start and finish and to see them kind of struggling and to just see the United States footprint in their response and their defense for their sovereignty, just completely absent. It has to take people who, you know, who are veterans, who, you know, believe that this place is the country that goes and stands up for the little guy when it's standing in the face of absolute tyranny and disaster. And we're just not seeing it with America right now. And I know it's caused quite a stir here in America to see one of our longstanding allies kind of twisted in the wind and having to essentially, in some cases, beg for the resources they need to defend themselves. No, we're well said that we don't have a greater ally in the region than Israel clearly. And it's been that way since really their inception in the late 40s and they're living on a razor's edge. That's why I love the preemptive strike with Hezbollah. And it's something, again, if you wrote a novel and a fiction, you wrote some fiction that said, well, these rallies set up thousands of pagers and they got them into the hands of Hezbollah and they exploded them one day. And then a couple of days later, they hit them with their walkie talkies. I mean, you wouldn't believe it. And they really pulled it off. It was incredible. And then anything that upsets AOC and Bernie Sanders is probably a really good thing. And apparently they were very upset about that. Like, when there's a conflict, no matter where it is in the world, it's a tragedy that there's going to be innocence that are harmed. It is. It's awful. In fact, when the United States, you know, we look at Normandy in January or June 6th and we always talk about D-Day, yeah, it was a wild success and we did lose unfortunately thousands of American fighting men. You know what, 19,000 French civilians were killed in the bombings that softened up that peninsula. And you know whose fault that is that they died? Adolph Hitler's are starting to hold damn conflict in the first place. So when innocence die in Gaza or in southern Lebanon, it's the fault of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas because Israel has only content to live in peace with their Arab neighbors. It's some of their Arab neighbors aren't content with living in peace with them. So it's their fault. It could be a shining example of success considering the amount of foreign aid that has gone into that area. And instead, it's a disaster and it's an abject failure because Hamas, the leadership just steals all the money and they blame the Jews, deal the money, blame the Jews. Okay. That's not a model for success. No it isn't, you can't elect foreign terrorist entities who are sponsored by Iran as basically your leadership for the region and think you're going to have any kind of success especially when you're next door neighbor on the other side of the fence literally is Israel. Yeah. You know what they're going to give you? They're going to give you misery. Yep. They're going to give you poverty. They're going to give you anguish. That's what they're selling you. They're selling you hatred. They're not building at it's all their fault. You know what, if you took the entire state of Israel and the six and a half million or so Jews that lived there and you put them on a giant spaceship and they left the solar system, how does that help Gaza or any Arab nation, any Muslim nation at all? It doesn't do anything. It's just a convenient excuse for the fact that your leadership has failed you whether it's in Egypt, Libya, Iran, wherever, you're really lacking for a success story in that region and it's sad because you want stability and you want folks to be able to live their dreams and that's why we're so blessed to live in this country because you see that most people don't have anything close to what we have with as far as freedoms and opportunity and liberty. Well, that's an excellent point. I mean, you know, obviously they would just jump on terrorist number one weapon is propaganda. So as soon as they were done with let's just say the Jews, they would move on to the next whatever that they could kind of pin their propaganda on and you could say that the radicalizing generations of, you know, their citizens moving forward, but at the end of the day, it's that propaganda which fuels and it's not moving towards anything that is being able to share the area or live peacefully in the region that's going to get us to a solution anytime soon. And this is great catching up with you today. Listen, we have seen some components of Tom Clancy novels unfold in real time over the course. Yeah, I mean, it's been something else. We didn't bring that level of fire or explosive nature today, but we definitely got close. We've got your congressional website live linked in the show script today. So everybody could check out all the great work you're doing and help you as you're heading towards reelection in November, but where can we find out social media will live link that as well? Yeah. Rhett Pat Fallon on X and Rhett Pat Fallon on Facebook as well. And I just one last parting comment. Kamala Harris, his two state solution is trying to win Pennsylvania, Michigan. He could care less about what's happening in the Middle East. So that's why she's trying to play in both ways and it's driving me nuts. I love the fact that President Trump, you know where he stands? Clearly, he's for Israel, he's for America, he's for freedom. He wants limited government, low taxes, reasonable regulation, he's going to project strength. Oh, let's go. Clearly defined policies, straightforward answers we got today from the congressman representing Texas for representative Pat Fallon. Thanks for joining us on the show. So have a great rest of your week. Thank you, brother. God bless. Take care. We're a win. Start to the week.

But on behalf of the pod team, I'm Ron, thanks for listening. Have a great rest of your week, and take care. I call Hillary a nasty woman, but this stuff is all relative. After listening to Hillary rattle on and on and on. I don't think so badly of Rosie O'Donnell anymore. In fact, I'm actually starting to like Rosie a lot. You know, the president told me to stop whining, but I really have to say the media is even more biased this year than ever before, ever. You want the proof? Michelle Obama gives a speech, and everyone loves it, it's fantastic. They think she's absolutely great. My wife, Melania, gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case. Thank you. a lot.
