Mookie, this is not nom, this is bowling, they're a rule. - Hey, hey, hey, junior, America! (upbeat music) - It's like... - Four! - Bethist! - So stand by. - 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 Ron, flying solo today. Noah was predisposed, having to deal with some more related issues, and he'll get them all sorted out, and hopefully be joining us on both of our Friday editions of the show. If you're here in this episode for the first time, don't worry, we're gonna see you in a little bit. Press pause, go back and check out our first Tuesday edition of "Stake for Breakfast" today. That's episode 464. We featured the iconic Roger Stone we also caught up with Indiana, Congresswoman Aaron Howchin. We discussed and provided coverage of Donald Trump's rally up in Prairie Day Chien from last week. And a little bit of coverage and analysis on Kamala Harris' first real official visit down to the US Southern border, and how the media kind of responded to at least the optics of it, providing some opinion on that as well. During this episode of the podcast, we're gonna do some coverage of Donald Trump's rally in battleground Pennsylvania. He wasn't eerie over the weekend, so wanna cover that. We're gonna be catching up with Tennessee Congressman, Tim Burchard, who's one of our favorites. Always excited to catch up with him. Also discussing on how Donald Trump was able to seize at least the media narrative as he interjected himself into the hurricane disaster relief efforts, leading the charge, looking very presidential. As Joe Biden and Kamala Harris kind of took a back seat to yet another natural disaster, which has inflicted this country where it seems like they honestly don't care too much about what happens to the people here as they send another 9 billion to Israel, another 10 billion to Ukraine, and then, of course, everything that's going on with the US Southern border makes like a perfect storm for the Democrats now just 35 days before election day. We'll be catching up with Vish Berra to round out our second edition of the podcast and the end of our Tuesday show this week as well. He's the executive secretary over at the New York Young Republican Club, and it's done extensive workup on Capitol Hill, working with both George Santos and Matt Gaetz, obviously, a huge component to the War Room apparatus, and one of our great friends. So, again, jumping into it right here, Donald Trump Battleground, Pennsylvania, between Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada, these are a lot of places that you're going to frequently see Donald Trump over the course of the next 35 days, and as he takes the stage, you could tell in a venue that apparently the Secret Service was able to secure and give him a larger landing pad to talk all things MAGA. Let's hear the crowd's reception, as the 45th president took the stage. (audience cheers) - Thank you very much, thank you, whoa. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, what a crowd. (audience cheers) (audience cheers) - Well, I wanna thank everybody. There has never been spirit. You know, we did great, as you know, in 2016. We did much better in 2020, bad things happened there. But there's never been spirit like we have for this one. Something's going on that's very special, and I wanna say hello, Pennsylvania. I'm thrilled to be back in this beautiful Commonwealth with thousands of proud, hard-working American pages. - You know, and it would be to the start of this rally, and it didn't matter which way the former president and current Republican nominee wanted to go, that the crowd was just not going to have it. They wanted Donald Trump to back away from the podium to turn around and acknowledge how much they loved hosting him there this weekend. Every time he tried to lead into the start of this rally and get one of his talking points going, it would be a Trump, Trump, Trump, a USA chant, a We Love Trump, or just a standing ovation. You know, once Trump was able to get through this, and I would say it was about the first five to seven minutes of the rally where this went on, Donald Trump was able to settle in a little bit and talk about something that is probably at top of mind for him and top of mind for a lot of Americans right now. And that's what's going on with the relief efforts into the aftermath of Hurricane Halene and what it's done to places like the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and a lot of the other states that have been affected by this major hurricane with more bad weather, apparently coming down the pike set for this weekend as well. Let's hear President Trump weigh in on this huge item and give a little preview of what exactly is going on in regards to his campaign and disaster relief. - Before we begin, I'd like to send my love and prayers to the families of those who have died, a lot of death, and all of those who are displaced and suffering in the wake of the hurricane's destruction in the south, especially in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and in particular Western, North Carolina took a tremendous hit. It's been absolutely devastated and God be with you all. It's been a rough, it's been a rough one. That was a big monster hurricane and it hit a lot harder than anyone even thought possible. So we wanna just extend our best wishes to everybody, right? (audience cheering) - And he would go into next talking about how we, his campaign would be going down there. This was not gonna be in a campaign context either. I don't know if you guys noticed while Donald Trump was in, while it asked to Georgia yesterday, which was Monday. There was no Trump campaign signage, any kind of notification. This was Donald Trump, the billionaire private citizen, flying over in a private jet, didn't use Trump Force One, and bringing in trucks of critically needed supplies, which included food, fuel, water, et cetera, to people that are absolutely getting crushed there. And it's one of the things they don't have power, nothing's working, the death count continues to go up, and it's just absolutely horrible to see the slow-walked federal response to win again. Zelensky leaves America with another $10 billion in taxpayer-funded cash, supplies and weaponry to fund his forever war. Obviously Israel, which is fighting a three-pronged front right now, the Palestinians in Gaza, has blown on Lebanon. And obviously, I ran as well. The disaster on the US Southern border and how Americans are hurting all over the country due to that, on the hook for half a trillion dollars in taxpayer funds to take care of these animals as Donald Trump puts it all over the country just this year alone. And then this disaster comes. And it seems like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have very little interest in that. Joe Biden was more interested in vacationing. Kamala Harris was more interested in fundraising. And Donald Trump put out a post on, these are actually ones that we're coming across on Twitter. And Donald Trump said, to every family that has been displaced here in Georgia, North Carolina and throughout the region, our hearts are with you in this hour of need. You are in our prayers today and throughout all the long weeks that lay ahead. We love you, we are here with you, and we will be back again and again soon. Donald Trump also started through his social media accounts at GoFundMe, which now has exceeded $3 million in donations for relief aid in addition to the charity that he's working alongside with, with Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son, and some of the political figures like Georgia Congressman Mike Collins and former US Senator from the Peach State Kelly Lawfler yesterday when he visited the disaster areas. So he would segue then, obviously to where he's been going and will be going for the rest of his campaign. And we'll touch on some of these items that Donald Trump talked about as we're gonna do dual coverage. Well, I guess try coverage of Biden Harris Trump in regards to the response to Hurricane Helene in our next new segment. But I'm Marine Kamala Harris on her lies, what they've done to the border and what the economy looks like. You're gonna be hearing a lot of that between now and election day, he's laying out the facts. Now we're gonna listen to some of them right now, let's check it out. - Lion Kamala Harris is the worst Vice President acknowledged to be in history. Everyone thought she wouldn't get it, but they want to be politically correct. So she gave it to her. And here are the facts. She wants open borders. She costs the typical family $29,000. Think of that because of her inflation policy and it's gonna cost a lot more than that very soon. It's going up by a lot. She was an original creator of Defund the Police. Are there any police officers? She was for Defund the police. Anybody that wants to defund the police for even one week is not worthy of being the President of the United States. (audience cheering) And you know, just to show you, go ahead, put up that video, please. - Kamala Harris' radical ideas keep ending in tragedy. - Kamala Harris raised money to fund the release of violent criminals like Sean Michael Tillman. - The Minnesota bail fund promoted by Kamala Harris but recently helps secure the release of a repeat felon who just got charged with murder. Sean Michael Tillman shot and killed a passenger on a train platform after reportedly being released from jail three weeks prior. - Harris' liberal ideas get people killed. - I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve this message. (audience cheering) - So we're trying to show you, and we're working hard 'cause a lot of people don't know her. She's a disaster. You can't have her. Kamala Harris vowed to abolish ICE and she supports free healthcare for illegal aliens. She wants mass amnesty and citizenship for everyone. All of these people, even if they're criminals, they're looking for amnesty and they wanna become citizens of our country. Those countries throw them all out. She says we must not utter the words illegal alien radical Islamic terrorists. Remember I used to use that word all the time because we had a problem. We didn't have one terror attack during my four years because they knew they couldn't do it. (audience cheering) - You know, we're gonna cut that one right there. First of all, the Trump campaign ad is just absolutely brutal. And then when you talk about adding in the component of having the family members of these people who have lost loved ones because of the illegals that have been led in, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the families of Lake and Riley and Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungarai, who have gone around with President Trump, whether it be at the RNC or campaign events, and told the stories of the absence in their homes and in their hearts because of these 100% preventable crimes that have happened under this administration. For as much as it hurts and as disgusting as a talking point, this is you have to be able to weaponize it, to bring awareness. Listen, Lake and Riley and Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungarai and all of these people in between who have died at the hands of legals, it was just normal people, obscure characters. And the big buildup that is this country and our republic, just living their lives, going out for a run, coming home from work, going down to the corner market to buy some chips, students, mothers, daughters, who left like it was just any day in average town USA, never to return again, getting brutally raped, beaten, murdered at the hands of the illegals that this administration, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris, the borders are, has let in. So sometimes you have to get the emotional connect there and the emotional connect is what Donald Trump was looking to do. He would also be talking about elections, encouraging people to be requesting those ballots to vote early, chase ballots in places where you can get as many people as you can registered and out to vote, especially when early voting starts. And then everyone who's a game day voter, obviously going and contributing in that fashion, in addition to the protect the vote.com initiatives, the Trump force 47, getting involved in your local election initiatives, all things that are going to make up the equation that hopefully will is Donald Trump back to Washington DC. He was touched on it a little bit, let's hear. (crowd cheering) - We will defend the Second Amendment, protect religious liberty, restore free speech, and we will secure our elections once and for all. Everyone will prosper, every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with opportunity and hope. But for that to happen, we must defeat, lie in Kamala Harris, and we must stop her country destroying a liberal agenda. She is a radical left communist, and we cannot have her be the president of our country. We never want that ideology anywhere around, 'cause it doesn't work and it's been proven a hundred times. - So there was that, and you know, he'd be getting into some of the issues now, especially, and listen, this isn't just hammering Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, the Democrats out on the campaign trail, it's what did I do in my first term? Why was that beneficial or a stark comparison to what's going on now? And what am I offering in my second term? One of the big pitches that Donald Trump has out on the campaign trail recently, in addition to safety and security and a better footing, geopolitical is the reinvention or the reinvigoration of the manufacturing components here in America, the agriculture sector, and obviously, big energy. In places like Pennsylvania, where you have a little bit of all three, as they are a major hub for fracking and natural gas, obviously, lots of manufacturing, especially in things like steel. In addition to that, the agriculture sector, which in rural Pennsylvania is major league in the Keystone State, Donald Trump is gonna be talking directly to the voters and letting them know exactly what the deal is going to be once he wins back the White House of Terror. - Here is the deal that I will be offering to every major company and manufacturer on earth. We will cut your taxes from 21% down to 15% and give you every possible advantage, but only if you make your product here in America and hire American workers for the job. (audience cheering) (audience cheering) And if you're a foreign country and you don't make your product here, then you will have to pay a tariff, a fairly substantial one, which will go into our treasury, we reduce taxes. But if you send your product into the United States, that will happen. On the other hand, if you wanna build your factory in the United States, there will be no taxes, there will be no tariffs, there will be nothing to pay. (audience cheering) So if you build your factory or your plant in the United States, there will be no tariff. And therefore, they will all be coming and they'll be building and you will be getting so many job offers. And a lot of it's gonna take place right here in Pennsylvania. We will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act so that if China or any other country charges us a 100 or a 200% tariff, then we will charge them a reciprocal tariff or tax of 100 or 200%. And we will do it. - Big, big. Just imagine, instead of these huge auto manufacturers outsourcing their jobs and their research departments and putting their factories in Mexico or China, the same thing with not refining certain components of the manufacturing industry. Again, I keep going back to steel, but there's so many other things, computer-related items and just furniture when you talk about the Carolinas. Instead of sending these companies, their jobs and their factories out to places like China and India and Japan, having the countries send their executives here to work, build their factories here in the United States and do trade with the United States while hiring American workers and having their products become American-main. Probably not the avenue that they necessarily wanna go on due to the not cheap-ness nature that they could do it in other places like China. However, if you don't and you wanna continue to do major business with the United States, there's going to be taxes and tariffs. The likes, the world has never known. So we're going to be definitely dialed into that. One of the other things that Donald Trump has been talking about lately, and it comes in these states that have major cities that have just been absolutely decimated by the illegals, by crime, by failing numbers for decades and only getting worse, especially since a lot of the closeouts that happened during the pandemic, and that's the education system here in the United States. You know, educational reform is something almost like the healthcare reform. It's tough to talk about. It seems like the solution is open-ended. And when you look at what plausible solutions could be, unfeteralizing the Department of Education and sending education systems back to the individual states to be able to vote on, what gets put into the curriculums across the country is I think like in much to do with the Dobbs decision and overturning Roe v. Wade, losing federal protections on abortion and sending it back to the states, depending on the electorate there, is depending on what level of, I guess you could call it care you'd be getting, but it's more of a federal system and the way the Constitution and founding fathers, the framers, they wanted this country to work. Having, depending on who's in charge, whether it be Republicans or Democrats, us studying accurate U.S. history, or us studying pronouns and reproductive freedom should not be things that are federally dictated at the Department of Education and forced onto all of the other states. - No, Donald Trump's looking to close the department and have a decision on what happens with your children's education, made at the state levels, much as I just alluded to, let's hear him. - Port, universal school choice, and I believe the Lifeline Scholarship Bill would be a great start for those students trapped in the worst performing schools in Pennsylvania. A lot of people wanna see that happen, I understand it. Right, you know that, oh, you do know that, good. It would provide financial assistance to empower parents to take their children out of a failing school and send them to a public, private, religious, or charter school, that's really right for them. It's very, you know, school choice is a very big deal. A lot of people don't know that, but it's a big deal, it'll be great. You know, I'm gonna take the Department of Education, close it in Washington, let the states run their own education. (audience cheering) Very important, because we spend more money per pupil than any other nation in the world by far, and yet we're ranked at the bottom of every list. So, you know the expression, what the hell do you have to lose, right? - A new way to look at it is something that I think would reinvigorate a lot of the states who are looking to actually promote education. It would also highlight the states, the cities, and the school districts that have not been doing their jobs. Because what happens is, if you have like one of the school districts, let's just say the ones that are always talked about in places like Baltimore, Maryland, where 99% of the students can't read or write or do math at a high school graduation level. And the only thing they do to try and remedy the problem without changing the curriculum, without improving the environment, is just throw more money at it, and that just adds to our ridiculous spending and uncontrolled national debt right now. So, I think when you're talking about education reforms, it starts and ends with the Department of Education at the federal level and sending it back to the state so that those who actually want to give a crap about their kids' education can start investing and such in a way that's a lot better than we're seeing right now.

You'll never miss out on all the great stuff we've got going on down here in the show. We're going to be jumping in with a Tennessee congressman who's going to have an update on the back end in the closeout of last week's Capitol Hill and all the happenings that happened there, including the passage of the CR, which funds the government through the last two weeks of December. In addition, maybe some updates on his congressional race and things that he are doing in district, and how he is helping with the responses, not in his districts, but to other sections of Tennessee that have been hit hard by Hurricane. Halene, listen, we always love talking with Representative Tim Burchett, and I'm feeling that we're going to have an absolute fantastic conversation like we always do here on the show. Donald Trump had a message to all the murderers, the rapists, and the criminals, including the human traffickers who have come into this country or are operating in and around it right now during his rally. Let's hear it. - Issuesly raping and 62,231 criminal aliens convicted of violent assault where people are just about dead, but they didn't die, but we took them into. In total, she let in, listen to these numbers, 647,572 migrant criminals of the worst order. They call them up the worst order. I wonder what that means. Charge with or convicted with heinous crimes, including child predators, drug dealers, vicious gang members, sadists thugs, and people that deal in women, people that they take women and they sell women, and they bring them across the border. Mostly women, children also, but mostly women, and they're all living in our country right now, and we've had many killings. Rachel Marne, so many people have died, but wait till you see what's gonna happen. Oh, and if I don't get in, it's gonna be the worst thing that this country has ever suffered, because they won't do a damn thing about it, and the number of 21 or 25 or whatever million it is, you'll have 150, 200 million come in. You will have, this country will no longer be recognizable. It's already close to that. - Just for the fact that Donald Trump is starting to lead into the conversation, talking about chain migration, and how we've kind of laid it out for you guys here on the show for several months, if not longer, talking to some of the top experts, either those who work prior administration, potentially in the future, Trump administration, those who are working at some major think tanks, and of course our key politicians on the Republican side. We have to have the discussion, because I mean, listen, the way Donald Trump lays it out, he thinks that if Kamala Harris wins, we'd see Amnesty for who's here, and potentially maybe 60 to 100 million more people, come in here, that's a third of the entire electorate of the United States. And imagine over the course of a decade or two what that would look like. Well, you've got great examples of it all around the world, especially what's happened with the migrant invasion in the other half of the planet in places like the UK and Germany and France. If that's what you want here in America, then you can continue to vote Democrats or not physically involve yourself in these critical races that we're looking at on November 5th, including the retention of the U.S. House of Representatives and Republican control and flipping back the U.S. Senate to the Senate side in addition to getting Donald Trump, working for the American people again, and back in the White House. Donald Trump, as we talked about during our first show today, he feels that some of these things that have gone out with the border are the very least impeachable, but maybe even Kamala Harris should resign as the Vice President and just continue her candidacy as candidate Harris, because for someone that was tabbed to be the borders are and needed to find the root causes of immigration, remember the excuses they gave in you. People want a better life and climate change was the reason that they told you that 20 million people have already crossed this border in the last nearly four years. That being said, Donald Trump said maybe she should just pack it up in totality and just head back out to California, let's hear it. - And one of the reasons I'm angry yesterday, she made a speech like everything on the border is good. And she's going to fix the border. Did you see that crazy speech? And I'm going to fix the border because I was a prosecutor. You know, she prosecuted mostly her political opponents like me, they said. But how am I doing? I'm doing pretty good, right? (audience cheering) She actually had a terrible record as a prosecutor. And you know who she went after more than anybody? African Americans. - Yep. - They hate her, they hate her. And she destroyed San Francisco. But what she's done is a total disqualifier. She should be disqualified. She should resign the vice presidency and go home to California, which she is by, you know, she's really destroyed it. - Helped her own. - But she should go home and disgrace. What Kamala has done with illegal migrants is the biggest crime story of our time. - Certainly is. And then, you know, he's going to take some shots at her. You see these rallies that are happening with Kamala Harris and Tim Wallace as they're out in the communities and I guess delivering some kinds of remarks to airquoting now supporters. But here's the deal. Whether it be on the front or back end of a musical performance during some kind of music festival in collaboration with other events that are going on or just busting people in from out of state to make it look like she has supporters and these people that are getting busted. They're not organic fans. Let's just say she's doing an event in one state and they have like 20 buses come in from another. These aren't supporters like individually how they come out for Trump rally. These are entire components of teacher and labor unions who are deeply tied and financially reliant on the Democrat party. And, you know, listen, you could talk to Donald Trump and compare head to head on a lot of things. There's one thing that you never do. Well, you never step on a church in his hometown and then you don't compare the rally, go where sizes of events between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and Tim. (audience applauding) You know, when she gets a little, she doesn't get the crap, but when she gets a little crap, they have buses coming in. So we take pictures of the buses, we give them to the factors, they never report it, you know? But they have the bus people and then they only show the first three or four rows. But we don't, like Uncle Sam, I mean, I don't pay anybody to come. We don't do any of that stuff. We have the most incredible group of people all over the country. No, I mean, if you were up in Wisconsin, if you were up in Wisconsin, you would have seen something that actually was incredible. But we're winning in Pennsylvania. And the main thing that we have to do is we have to get out the vote. We have to get out the vote because if we lose this election, we are going to have a problem with this country, the likes of which I think no country has ever faced before. - And that's saying a lot given the current state of the world. One of the other things that he's wondering where, because listen, she was a deciding vote in the Inflation Non-Reduction Act and the Green New Scam. Whatever happened to all this complaining on the environment, we all know that Kamala Harris had determined that the root causes of the influx of illegal migration in this country has major contributor in factor is the environment there, even though that's total bullshit. You know, in addition, everything has to be green, where we're assault on the energy industry, we're mandating EVs, we're going after stoves and air conditioners. What happened to the environment? Well, Donald Trump posed the question himself. Let's take it out. - Her Green New Scam will obliterate the economy of your Commonwealth, obliterate it. All stupid stuff, it also caused a lot of inflation between the energy policies and everything else they did, with the crazy spending, Green New Scam. It used to be called the Green New Deal, now we call it. Do you ever notice, this was such a big deal, the environmental stuff. I haven't heard the environmental stuff mentioned in six months. I was saying the other night, what the hell happened to the environment? David, will you figure this out? David McCormick, everybody vote for him? David, will you figure this out? (audience cheering) You know? (audience cheering) No, but think about this. I haven't heard, Mike, I haven't heard. They don't ever talk about the environments anymore. You know why? Mike, you say, don't talk about it now. No, it's one of the great scams of all time. You know why they don't talk about it? Because people aren't buying it anymore, it's, I don't want to use bad language. My wife said, please don't use a bad language. Listen, anything that they talk about regarding the environments and referencing the Democrats now falls right into Donald Trump's trap. So they're not going to. You want to talk about pollution. You want to talk about the weather. Let's just say the weather. Donald Trump will reference, well, we just had Hurricane Halene. I don't know if that's climate change, but if you said it is, why aren't you guys down there helping all the people who have died and lost their homes, essentially entire communities no longer exist? What happened with that? If they talk about anything that would be a lead into being anti-energy industry, anti-fracking and regulations, that's a big turn off as well. You know, you can't discuss these things. Evie mandates. It's just ridiculous that they stumped on this so hard for the first two years of this administration and they knew that they were heading out of the midterm election cycle and within a few months would be in the general and said, listen, we just got to drop this 'cause anything we try to stump on would look as a negative in regards to what the Republicans are running on. Energy independence, drill baby drill, fracking all over the place, tapping these federally protected wildlife portions of our country that, like Donald Trump says, has more oil in some instances than Saudi Arabia does. Ending the Evie mandates, just allowing for free capitalist market when it comes to electric vehicles if companies wanna make 'em and people wanna buy 'em. More power to you, but as you've seen, they're sunsetting a lot of models of electronic vehicles because even with potential mandates coming down the pike with Democrats in control, people just aren't buying it. And even with the price of used automobiles through the roof, even don't care. Under gas-powered cars, they're gonna last more than two hours on the highway and doesn't require another two hours or longer to charge it before you can continue down the same highway for two hours more. There wasn't too much comedic spin woven into this Trump rally, but there was one, man, I wish no was here today, he would've really enjoyed this clip. So, you know, dictator on day one is something that the Democrats have spun out of control and weaponized, even though we all know he's just philosophically talking about shutting down the US Southern border and drilling baby drill. However, due to the fact that we might actually have a purge for an hour during a Trump presidency, again, I jest, and I think the president does too. But talking about getting tough, and removing the violent criminals from our country is something he's deadly serious about. Let's take it out. - That the 950 is a misnomer, 'cause you can steal whatever you want, you can go away about. But you'd see it originally, you saw kids walk in with calculators. They were calculators. They didn't wanna go over the $950 they're standing with calculators, adding it up. You know, these are smart people. They're not so stupid, but they have to be taught. Now, if you had one really violent day, like a guy like Mike Kelly put him in charge, Congressman Kelly put him in charge for one day. (audience cheering) Mike, would you say, you're right here, he's a great congressman, would you say, Mike, that if you were in charge, you would say, oh, please, don't touch them. Don't touch them. Let them rob your store. All these stores go out of business, right? They don't pay rent, then the city doesn't have money. It's a chain of events, it's so bad. One rough hour, and I mean real rough. The word will get out, and it will end immediately. End immediately. (audience cheering) You know, it'll end immediately. - So, Perch confirmed, I'm not against it. We have to be able to reestablish a median here in our country when it comes to crime, especially with the way and in the last generation or two, the youth are coming upwards where they just have no respect for adults, authority, law enforcement, and they know on the back end of almost any crime they do, sometimes just short of rape or murder, but even sometimes and including in the case of minors, rape and murder, they won't be receiving any kind of extended consequential or legitimate consequences for this. So, again, he's just throwing ideas at the wall, not catch up packets or cheeseburgers and seeing what sticks. And as we're getting ready to wrap here and jump in with Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchard, I do have a portion of the closeout that I'm gonna play right now, so let's listen in. - Remember, early voting is beginning. Right now, get going. Right now, so you must get out and vote. We want a landslide that's too big to rig. We're gonna have too big to rig. And on November 5th, we will save our economy. We will rescue our middle class. We will reclaim our sovereignty and restore our borders. We will always put America first, and we will take back our country that we love so much. Together, we will make America powerful again. (crowd cheering) We will make America wealthy again, healthy again. (crowd cheering) Strong again, proud again, safe again, free again. And we will make America great again. (crowd cheering) (upbeat music) - Many extended versions of the Trump were dropped right here. Obviously, his iconic dance. And listen, we've played excerpts from two full rallies in two different battleground states over the course of 24 hours. And you almost got two entirely different forms of messaging that Donald Trump is delivering to help rescue this country. And essentially, as cliche as it sounds, make America great again. We all know that Noah's scoring this one 10 out of 10. I would say just based off the size and enthusiasm level here, we were pushing well into the 9.8, so I'm gonna leave it at that. As we're getting ready to jump in with Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett.

All right, joining us next on the show today is this big Tuesday edition of the State for Records podcast. He's the Congressman who represents Tennessee's second congressional district, and we're always excited to catch up with Representative Tim Burchin. Thanks for joining us on the show. - Thanks for having me on, brother. - Listen, I wish we could talk in better times. I look at it this way, at least Congress is on recess until after the election outside of maybe possibly getting in there for a vote on Hurricane Relief Disaster. But that's where I wanna kinda start. Hurricane Aileen was exactly what the media portrayed it to be, just a massive natural disaster, which ravaged several states, including the Carolina's Florida, and of course, Tennessee, where you're at. Talking offline, before we jumped into the interview, said it wasn't your district specifically, that got hit too hard, but there are parts of Tennessee that didn't, I just wanna kinda get an update. You know, from someone who's in the state right now on what it looks like on the ground. - Yeah, I've reached Tennessee. Some areas got devastated. I mean, communities just totally wiped out. We, one of those who's in Unicorn County, it had some really bad damage. Cotton County, Newport, all these other areas up there. I know I was a county mayor, so I know a lot of the folks up there, the other mayors, and I was in the state legislature for 16 years, so I know somebody in all those counties, and it's just devastating, really. A lot of, right now, a lot of frustration because you can't get water, you can't get electricity, you can't get the internet. And so all those things, and cell phone service is very spotty, and of course, you don't have electricity. You don't have any way, most people won't have any way to charge their batteries. And so it's just a disaster. And they talk like it's a thousand year flood, which then pretty much in the recorded history of this country, we've never seen anything like it, especially in that area, but what ended up happening? Some of our areas weren't really hit that hard with the storm. It was like up in North Carolina, and then it came through those mountains, and then those folks were in those valleys, and they just got wiped out. It just compounded, and there's no way to predict that kind of tragedy. And so we try to, as Tennesseans do, we circle the wagons and get to work, and I talk to the good people at Budweiser this morning, the Han family. I've talked to Ray and Lucy Han, they own it, and has her bush, and they're already on the ground up there with cans of water, tractor trailer loads of it, and they are, and folks like that are just doing what they can do. And I've encouraged people to be very cautious, though, when you give some of these organizations or rip you off. I like Samaritan's Purse, Billy Graham's son runs that, Franklin Graham, and it's legit. Very little in administration, big money, going to the people that need the help. And I would caution people, somebody calls you over the phone, and you know the program, don't give your credit card out, don't do anything. Stick with the legitimate, they fly by night, so take your money and be gone. - No, it's the truth. President Trump alluded to today, or actually yesterday, the same, in reference to the same charity group as one. He was with Franco and Graham in Georgia yesterday, and deliver an aid, which is kind of where I want to segue to next. Listen, the federal government's response is always going to be armchair quarterback. It's never enough in the eyes of the American people. A lot of that is usually true in retrospect. However, when you see such a terrible disaster, there are hundreds, if not thousands of people who still haven't been contacted by family members yet. You've already talked about how certain communities have been essentially wiped out and no longer exist. Water, electricity, internet are just some of the things resource-wise that are not available. But in addition to the accessibility to things like gasoline, food, and fuel, things of that nature to keep their homes running, their cars running, and take care of their families. Listen, Joe Biden came out yesterday and gave brief remarks on the hurricane, and said that he's not going down there now, because he's been told by his staff that it would be a disaster. Kamala Harris yesterday declined to take comments and deliver remarks to the press when asked about her whether or not she thinks it's adequate what the federal government is doing right now in regards to the response. But President Trump on his own dime went down there with relief supplies and delivered it to some of the people down out in rural Georgia, delivered remarks and does kind of what President Trump does, even optically, I think, when the nation is hurting, they need to see, even if it does nothing physically, maybe emotionally, to see leaders lead, and know that at the end of the day, there are people that are there fighting for them. Just kind of commentary on how you've seen the administration take on this natural disaster and their lack of response to what it looks like to the American people. - I think your analogy is pretty good, although I will say this, I need to be honest, I was on the phone with the White House this morning. And we were, and I was directing them up to Congressman Hirschberger's District to take care of those people. And I got ahold of one of the state representatives, dear friend, I got any Jeremy Faison up there, Faison, whatever, so I don't know how you pronounce it, I just know how to spell it. He's a dear friend, and he was directing them to where I think they're on the phone about 20 minutes. So, the bureaucracy's slow to move, it's always best the people. I can remember when the tornado hit Middle Tennessee and Donald Trump said, I can remember him talking to you. And I'll imitate him here a little bit because Tim, you're flying over in the plane, I look down, saw those blue tarps on the roof of those buildings, and said, them Tennesseans, they're not waiting on anybody. I said, Mr. President, that's what Tennesseans do, brother. We ain't waiting. A country boy will survive, and that's what they do. They just take care of business. And the people up here, they don't ask a whole lot. We're the ones that fight the wars, and statistically a lot higher. And we don't ask a lot, we try not to ask a lot of the federal government. We're not particularly trusting in the federal government. - Sure. - But there's not a whole lot that's gonna be done up there to you can't even get cars up into some of these areas. They're just totally wiped out. If you can, I mean, there's nothing there. It's just devastation. And so it's, you know, and people are not gonna be patient and you're gonna have the looters. You're gonna have the people taking advantage. You're gonna have, you know, unaccounted for dead folks. I mean, it's just a, it's a tragedy. But again, I would encourage people to get involved if they wanna do something. And people delivering pizzas and things like that. That is great. I love that. Live in water, that is great as well. But if you wanna help the most people, get hold of a group like Samaritan's Purse. I'm not really a big fan of a Red Cross. - Sure. - And I'll catch you pale for that. But I don't really care. But I do Samaritan's Purse is one of those that's international. And they will put, they will take care of people. They will minister to them. They will feed them. They will clothe them. They will take care of them. And I'm a big fan of theirs. I was always a big fan of Franklin Graham and his mission. So. - We're gonna be directing our listenership there as well today, Congressman. I do kinda wanna segue and talk about some of the issues out. You know, I'm a campaign trail and stemming from Capitol Hill where you guys left last Friday. The Secret Service and the lack of detail that Donald Trump has gotten, which led to two assassination attempts already that publicly the American people know of. You know, ever since the fallout from this came, we've heard misdirection on transparency from the federal agencies involved. But we've also heard Joe Biden and Kamala Harris call for more Secret Service protection for Donald Trump. Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland have both echoed that. The House voted on more Secret Security protection for candidates like Donald Trump, especially those who are former presidents like himself as well. However, we ran into a lot of the same issues we saw leading up to the Butler First assassination attempt all the way down to the one that happened in West Palm Beach just this past weekend. Where Donald Trump couldn't get security enough to adequately secure an event that he was gonna do up in battleground Wisconsin. We saw J.D. Vance, a restaurant deny him access there because they said the Secret Service didn't give them enough time in advance to secure the location as well. But meanwhile, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have been able to go to essentially the same places, either ahead or just behind Donald Trump and his vice presidential nominee and have the same events almost seamlessly. You know, it goes to say a lot. I mean, I know the UN General Assembly was in town last week but that's neither here nor there. We're 30 some odd days out from a presidential election. Early voting's going on in a lot of battleground states right now. And for Donald Trump not to be able to conduct his race in the manner that a normal candidate was, it just seems like it's beyond unacceptable at this point. Just kind of want your take on it. - You're correct. It is beyond unacceptable. This is a political move by this administration. It was this under Robert Kennedy Jr. I mean, as I've stated many times and on your show, but what other family has suffered more under the Assassin's bullet than the Kennedy family. And yet he was denied secret service protection and is directly connected to Joe Biden. He could make that call and he didn't make that call. And the only reason they're concerned about Trump is they tried to kill him twice. They screwed up both times and the country has got their eyes on it and they're following it. This is horrible. This is the worst of politics. And I think you're going to see more of that under Kamala Harris if she is elected. - Yeah. - You know, it's just the arrogance. And this is top to bottom though. I mean, this is all across these alphabet agencies in Washington, D.C. And I spoke to an FBI agent the other day and he was telling me that he was good at the agent. And I said, "Look." I said, "My argument's not with the local agents, "the ones that are doing the dadgum job." And a lot of those in Washington are doing the job. My problem is the administration, the administrative level, these armchair bureaucrats that they put in in these positions of power and they can't even spell it the eye. They don't need to be there. And it's a political game. It's the DEI. It's all those things that they tell us not to say, but it's the truth. - Yeah, it's better. - You know it in the American public knows it, brother. - Sure, it's benefits for their lackeys. As we see with the acting director of the Secret Service now, he was eight years in the Obama administration. It's a non-uniform, non-badger caring, non-gun-carrying member of that administration. It's just a whoever, and then once they get into these administrative positions, they kind of lose their political affiliation because the only thing they want to do at the end of the day is keep their jobs. They don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat in the way. If they can slow down their agenda, knowing that it could be potentially four years, but only up to eight, it doesn't seem that long when most of these people careers span several decades at the very least. It's kind of where I want to go next. You recently talked to Donald Trump and had a conversation about dismantling the administrative state. This is a topic we've talked about in extent with you, Congressman, on the show for such a long time, and maybe you could give our listenership, you know, you don't have to give us all the receipts, but kind of some of the details you guys were talking about in regards to tackling this issue, hopefully in January of next year. - One thing I know about talking to presidents is that if you talk too much, disclose too much about what was discussed, at least publicly, you won't ever meet those conversations, but the president knows that I'm concerned about the size of government and what's going on within our government, and he also realized he's from a business background. And, you know, people say you need to run government like a business. Well, that's, people will tell you that, that they've never been in government and in business. To get, you know, they don't understand there are people, you know, we've got handicapped veterans, so we shouldn't take care of them 'cause they don't produce anything, you know, or the four moms out there, the husbands died, and they're widows, and they're trying to raise these children. I mean, there's a given take there, but Trump understands, again, these alphabet agencies, and he understands what went wrong the last time of what he couldn't get to. And he's very serious about putting Elon Musk in charge of that type of an operation. - Great point. - And I suspect there'll be a great deal of frustration 'cause only about 22% of the government, I believe, is fireable right off the bat. But I think there's constitutional grounds if we defund those departments at the congressional level, they can't sue Congress, or they can, they're not going to get anywhere. So if you defund these departments, then that eliminates a lot of the problem. And I think that's what needs to happen, like the Department of Education, send the money to the States. There's not one Washington bureaucrat that's taught a poor kid and needs to see how to read a right or do arithmetic. And that needs to, that's a point I think you can, and in the teachers union, they ought to get behind it. If not, I'd expose them. Say, who are you for? Are you for the teachers? Are you for the bureaucrats in Washington? Because this is going to give more money to you all, and you more money at your state level, where you can negotiate a lot better deal I feel like than from Washington. - Yeah, well, we do know that they were for extended lockdowns in blue states to facilitate that nature during the pandemic. And we know that, you know, figureheads like Randy Winegard and did more public speaking in places like Kevu Crane, then she did in states that were locked down during COVID as well, stumbled for the regime there. So that's an excellent point you make. I think the Department of Education is definitely something Donald Trump's looking to target. Figuratively, of course, in sending back to the States, much like he did with the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade. And then, congressmen, as we're getting ready to wrap here with you, it's always a great kitchen up. But, you know, we do have a vice presidential debate tonight. Just kind of want to get your commentary. JD Vance, I thought in the 2022 election cycle, when he ran for a Senate seat in Ohio, was heads and shoulders above the best Republican candidate in any of the debates there. He was prepared for all of the questions they would try to get him on in his past, maybe his anti-Trump rhetoric, coming into the America First 10. Even a stance on abortion, which I thought he gave probably some of the best answers to in the entire 2022 cycle. Now that he's running as the vice presidential nominee and looking to take on Tim Walts, who essentially, you know, surrendered his state to the Marxist during the summer of love and did nothing except, I guess, champion pronouns and tampon dispensers in high school boys bathrooms, it seems like it's going to be a pretty fair match up. But, again, they're going to be in enemy territory with moderators probably going in shady Vance. And I kind of want your opinion on how you see this shaking out. - Well, in the history of presidential elections, I don't care what the pundits say. I can't find where anybody, any vice presidents swayed a election towards that president. So granted, but I think JD is much more qualified to handle this debate. His background is strong, his intelligence are strong. And that makes him even better candidate that he didn't like Trump in the beginning. - Sure. - 'Cause I think it shows Trump. Trump is more forgiving maybe than the media portrays and the pundits. And you're right, it's not going to be a fair shot. It's not going to be a fair thing at all. It's like when I told this story many times that right before my dad got to meet his maker, he was down here to actually nursing home. Daddy had had a massive stroke, World War II veteran. These guns behind me are guns that he took off of dead Japanese soldiers that he killed. And he was man's man, but I remember that I was mayor and I was getting beat up on something, the Chamber of Commerce and all the beautiful people were mad at me and the editorals, headlines. And I walked in and Daddy grunted out. It was hard for anybody to understand him. The nurses would always bring me and mama in. They said, "They act you again, buddy." And I said, "Yeah, Daddy, they are." And he said, "Do you really want that bunch for you?" So did we really want the ABCs and those airbags on the view or any of this others or any of these rock stars or athletes or so-called actors, but we really want any of those people for us. And I submit to you, no, we don't. - The polling? - That group is for Tim Burchett. I'm gonna start rethinking my thought process. - That's a great point. And a lot of the polling shows, the more big type figures who come in and weigh in on, let's just say, Kamal Harris' candidacy, the more it seems to be driving people away is they don't want other people telling them how to think. They wanna be able to make their own decision, especially when we've experienced how bad the last nearly four years have been. Congressman, this has been great catching up with you and the show today. We could put everything in the show description, your congressional website, obviously you're out in districts and we can put your campaign website in the show description as well. Where can we find you on social media? We know you have two accounts, one's kind of spicy. You wanna give that one? - Yeah, at Tim Burchett, that's the one. T-I-M-B-U-R-C-H-E-T-T, that's the one I go after 'em on and I don't give a rip. - No, you don't and you didn't today as we brought the fire and fury here on the State for Breakfast Podcasts. The Congressman, who's representing Tennessee's Second Congressional District, always glad catching up with Representative Tim Burchett. Thanks for joining us on the show. Have a great rest of your week. - Thanks for having us, it's always a pleasure. Keep putting the truth out there. - Thank you, sir. - Have you reached out to President Biden about federal release efforts? - No, I haven't reached out to him now. Oh yeah, I think he's sleeping right now actually. - All right, jumping back into the news portion of the show here. Last news segment on the back end of two big Tuesday editions of the State for Breakfast Podcast. I'm Ron Fly and Solo today and as always, an honor and a pleasure to catch up with the Congressman from Tennessee, Tim Burchett. Great guest with the show, always provides great commentary and always a pleasure hosting him. So we're gonna be looking now into Shaping a Narrative which will allow you to make a decision on whether or not you saw or thought that Donald Trump was able to successfully harness the narrative by genuinely showing care and affection for those who were deeply and greatly affected by Hurricane Helene last week which I think is something huge. You know, you talk about meeting with these world leaders, you talk about pontificating from the campaign trail on the major items. You talk about all the things that are important for Americans but at the end of the day, leaders lead and yeah, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, just absolutely absent for Americans who have been most affected by this horrible hurricane. They came through the American Southeast and just decimated in a lot of instances of race communities, death tolls continue to rise. People still without power, without gas, without food or access to it. And again, our prayers stay deeply projected in that direction. Joe Biden, believe it or not, more than likely, has COVID again. As crazy and just out of control as that sounds, this is the way Joe Biden led his formal speech to the nation in regards to what he was doing for the hurricane response. Let's check it out. - I'm supposed to get all the help needed to those impacted areas. And I expect to be, excuse me, I have a call. I expect to be there later this week. - Come on, Joe. How long has he had a cold for? Six months, maybe longer? - Good God, and you know, all BM short clips, we are gonna play some of the items that he touched on, probably very important for Americans who are in the greatest need for food and fuel and supplies and help down in these areas. Well, Joe Biden said it's okay, don't worry, I'm not coming. - I also want you to know, I'm committed to traveling to the impacted areas as soon as possible. Well, I've been told that it'd be disruptive if I did it right now. We will not do that at the risk of diverting or delaying any, any of the response assets needed to deal with this crisis. My first responsibility to get all the help needed to those impacted areas. And I expect to be there, excuse me. - My God, this is the embarrassment. It certainly is. I'm not going down there because I've been told that it would be a distraction. I don't know if he was trying to get ahead of the fact that Donald Trump was traveling there later that day, that he knew Kamala Harris would be returning early from campaign fundraising events out in Las Vegas to a FEMA headquarters, to read a teleprompter four minute speech that's supposed to make Americans who may have lost it all, including family members. Feel any better? But listen, when Joe Biden's four minutes of telepromptered remarks ended and he was getting ready to exit stage left as fast as he could of, as always, the media peppered him with questions. One, I guess, pit a nerve. And he decided to stop before he go through the door, which was already closing. And snap it reporters, let's take it out. - I'm not trying to retaliate. - I'm not hurricane Mr. President, why weren't you and Vice President Harris? You don't Washington commanding this this weekend. - I was commanding, I was on the final for at least two hours yesterday and the day before as well. I command it, it's called a telephone. It's all my security. It's a non-important for the country to see. - It doesn't matter 'cause they closed the door right in the reporter's faces. Listen, the reporter was right. Isn't it important for Americans to see leaders leading? Like, there was a lot of file footage that went around this weekend. Videos of you walking with your wife on the beach, sitting in beach chairs, up in Delaware, coming and going from small shops, including getting ice cream and coffee, while people were literally dying and losing everything down in the Carolinas in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida. I don't care if you were on the phone with FEMA for 24 hours straight. It doesn't make up for not being in Washington DC, not speaking from the other side of the resolute desk, for not physically going down there and then using the line that you'll be a distraction as an excuse. It's pathetic. And, like I said, Donald Trump in no campaign context, this is Donald Trump's citizen, packed up the trucks, flew into Valdosta, Georgia, flanked by some of the South's best members of America First, Congress, and Mike Collins. Former U.S. Senator Kelly Lawford, to name a few, Franklin Graham, and took to the ground and addressed the people. I do have a couple clips of Donald Trump there, and we're gonna play one of them right now. Let's take it out. - Being responsive, the federal government does not be responsive. They're having a very hard time getting the, getting the president on the phone. He won't get on it, of course the vice president. He's at some place campaigning, looking for money. So they gotta be, they have to be focused over here. It's stupid, this is a really bad one. And as the governor's doing these, he's having a hard time getting the president on the phone, they're being very non-responsive. They're also gonna be going, they're talking with North Carolina. We're trying to get them hooked up with communication. They're totally closed right now. North Carolina has really been hit by it. It's really, really been hit by it. The hardest, if we can't even get in there right now. And there are a lot of people that have been, in general, worse, very bad, North Carolina. Well, working with the people in North Carolina now to get them hooked up with communication. - You know, when you see the narrative of the whole phone item going back and forth, so you'll hear Joe Biden a little bit later in this segment and his response to what Donald Trump had said. But essentially, Joe Biden, the Biden White House, probably members of the Harris team, they went out publicly and made some of these governors, especially the ones who align up with the Biden-Harris White House, go out and publicly say, oh, you know, yeah, it's not true. Like, it's not hard to get Joe Biden and come all Harris on the phone in the wake of this disaster. Like, I think Donald Trump's exaggerating and they tried to make it like, Donald Trump's saying he can't get a hold of Joe Biden. The governors and the states greatly affected can't get a hold of Joe Biden. And Joe Biden's excuse after his four-minute prepared speech while he took a nasty volley back at the press was saying, like, oh, I don't need to be here at the White House on the weekend. I was at my beach house up in Delaware on the phone for two hours. Well, Donald Trump tried to crush that narrative almost immediately and it seemed to have triggered Joe Biden as well. Now, once he got off the tarmac and onto the ground in Georgia, Donald Trump would have a podium with no campaign related material on it. It was just a plain podium as he wanted to deliver remarks on why he was down there and what his plans were. Talking about how all of those affected are, of course, in America's first heart. We're gonna hear it right now. Let's take it out. - The path to full and complete recovery, we will work very hard. It won't be easy because this one is so bad. But we know our, in our hearts, God is with us, God is strongly with us and that the American people are stronger than any challenge that stands in our way. We have a lot of challenges in this country more than we should have, frankly. But the American people are very strong and very smart. Working together, we'll overcome these hardships. We'll endure, we will rebuild Valdosta and every other town that has been so badly hit and will merge stronger, more united and more prosperous than ever before. You're gonna be stronger, better. You're gonna learn a lot from it. And again, we pray to God for those that have been so badly injured and for, in particular, for the people that are no longer with us. - Sad. It's rough, but again, it takes a certain kind of character, a character that has a certain level of character to be able to go down there and roll up your sleeves figuratively and literally and do the job that Donald Trump did yesterday out in Georgia. He's already up back campaigning in Wisconsin today. He's going to be making his illustrious return to Butler, Pennsylvania this weekend on Saturday the 5th. He will be back down in those states, Georgia, North Carolina, some of the other affected, I believe very soon. He was also talking about the reason why he came down and what he came down with to be able to provide for the American people who are hurting after this natural disaster in tragedy. Let's hear it. - Thank everybody. And we came down with truckloads of things and we're gonna have that done by Franklin's incredible organization. They've done such a good job. We've done this before, but we have a lot of truckloads of different items from oil to water to all sorts of equipment that's gonna help them. But we're here today to stand in complete solidarity with the people of Georgia and with all of those suffering in the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Hurricane Helene turned out to be a big one like just about the biggest that anyone's seen. I spoke with all of the relief people, all of the people that do this for a living and do this at least to help. And they said they've never seen one this bad. Valdosta has been ravaged. The town is very, very badly hurting. And many thousands are without power. They're running low on food and fuel. We brought a lot of it down with us. It's gonna be distributed now or soon. Throughout Georgia as well as North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Alabama, and Tennessee. That's a big one. And the devastation wrought by this storm is incredible. It's so extensive. Nobody thought this would be happening, especially now it's so late in the season for the hurricane. - And he's talking about hurricane season there. You know, it's not just about the supplies he brought down for the people who are being graciously affected by this natural disaster, this hurricane. It's for those who are working on the front lines, obviously the National Guard in a lot of instances in the States, but the first responders, the police, the medics, and the firefighters as well. - You know, he had done sort of over the phone collaborative effort with the owner of X, Tesla, SpaceX, et cetera, Elon Musk over the weekend, as well delivering free, I guess, startup kits for Starlink in the area so that people who are in the most rural or unreachable because of flooding, the fact that a lot of bridges were washed out and some communities were just erased in general. Getting the Starlink's up in these areas and getting people reconnected to be able to communicate with first responders or members of their family, seek out ones that they haven't been able to get in contact with et cetera. So that's a big deal that, you know, you have Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Franklin Graham, and political figures all collaborating to bring relief down to these areas who were just absolutely hammered by Hurricane Helene and you have Joe Biden getting nasty with the press because they asked him why he wasn't in the White House doing his job this weekend. In addition, you've got Kamala Harris flying back from a major fundraiser out in Las Vegas, Nevada, going to FEMA headquarters to read some bullshit prepared statement. Donald Trump absolutely hammered her. So the Harris team put out this picture online and I'll describe it to you the best I can. It's Kamala Harris sitting on what I can only assume would be Air Force II or private jet. She's at like the table there. It looks like she's deep in thought and working on something. So in front of her is a blank piece of paper. You could clearly see from the angle this picture was posted at that the paper is completely blank. Her phone is on the table and not connected to anything, not even a charger. And then Kamala Harris again has the tethered iPhone earpieces. One earpiece in one ear while it's hanging into her lap but not connected to the phone. It's the tethered headphones. So Donald Trump always says everything about her candidacy and her career is fake. This is just another example of confirmation of that. He saw it. There were many memes crafted in lieu of it on social media. Donald Trump took to Twitter and had this to say. Another fake and staged photo from someone who has no clue what she is doing. You have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work. Biden and Harris abandoned Americans in Afghanistan. They sacrificed Americans to an open border and now they have left Americans to drown in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and elsewhere in the South. Under this administration, Americans always come last because we always have leaders, leaders as in quotes, who have no idea how to lead. And here's the thing, if it was an instance, sure you can make an argument about it. But when you just look at how Donald Trump has been there for the Gold Star families following the Afghan withdrawal, the fact that he went to East Palestine, Ohio, that he met with all of these people who have had such tragedies happen to their family in regards to the Biden, Harris, migrant crime wave happening across this country. And now in instances like this, it's like, again, like I let in with this segment, leaders lead, optics or everything, but following through is what matters most. And when it comes to what Donald Trump did yesterday and what he probably plans on doing in the future, and he said he'll be back, they'll be back. Whether it's in the short term or a little bit, long right down the road after they get things under control, that's yet to be seen. But he is a man of his word, and you can expect more truckloads, more star lengths, and more face time for the people that really need it right now. And Donald Trump has beat these losers up on Capitol Hill and in Washington, D.C., those occupying the White House right now for nearly four years straight. And again, just another reason why I feel like at the very least he deserves another shot at the presidency. Guys, wherever you're listening to the show today, last call, do us a huge favor.

Like our interview in coming with the executive secretary of the New York Young Republican Club, a club that just expanded by at least one as the club president there, Gavin Wax and his lovely wife, Chelsea, welcomed their first child to the world this week. Congratulations to them. And we're gonna see now, other than stage photo ops, what Kamala Harris had to say when she arrived at FEMA headquarters and again, read a very brief, prepared statement which lasted all four minutes. Let's check out a portion of it now. - To everyone who has been impacted by this storm and to all of those of you who are rightly feeling overwhelmed by the destruction and the loss. Our nation is with you and President Biden and I and all of the folks behind me are with you. We will continue to do everything we can to help you recover and to help you rebuild no matter how long it takes. - I just wanna remind everybody what Joe Biden had said on Sunday. Remember the portions of Joe Biden speaking yesterday is what I played for him being at the White House yesterday delivering remarks. But they caught him on the tarmac coming back from the beach house up in Delaware on Sunday. And when asked about the severity of the situation and what exactly he had planned additionally for the people who are greatly affected by this hurricane, this is what he had to say. - Yes, this is tragic. Matter of fact, we're trying to get to the exact number. Our FEMA advisors on the ground in Florida right now is a distinction between the numbers that FEMA's use and the ones that are used by the locals. So it really is amazing. You saw the photographs, it's stunning. - It's unbelievable, but it really is. - So many, so such a wide area. They've given them all of the auditing that we have on the ground ahead of time, so we're working hard. - Is there any more resources for the federal government to be giving them? - No, we've given them, we have three plans of a significant amount of it even though they didn't ask for it, had to ask for it. - So that's interesting. Not knowing how bad this storm was gonna be, how much destruction it would cause or even how many people would perish in its wake. The pre-planned amount of funding and aid that would be portioned aside for hurricane relief, I guess was the absolute ceiling that the Biden administration and Kamala Harris was going to be willing to go. Not like anybody wants it, but Kamala Harris did say, again, in a portion of her speaking of it yesterday, that she actually plans on being in portions of these hurricane-ravaged states at some point in the very near future, let's hear it. - In the past 24 hours, I have spoken with Governor Kemp of Georgia, Governor Cooper of North Carolina and many local officials. I have shared with them that we will do everything in our power to help communities respond and recover. And I've shared with them that I plan to be on the ground as soon as possible, but as soon as possible without disrupting any emergency response operations because that must be the highest priority in the first order of business. - Fuck you. I hate you. - Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris alluded to in their speaking events yesterday that by Donald Trump going down there with truckloads of things that are critical to the rescue efforts going on and for the people that have lost everything, in addition to providing some free star links to get people communicating back down there in a more traditional fashion other than like, I guess, smoke singles and flares 'cause power's knocked out, water's knocked out. There's nothing working in a lot of these states, especially in the most rural areas. And these two asshats will go out in almost campaign while discussing this disaster, saying that, oh, we wanna go down there, but after it can be considered a distraction room, they don't wanna go down there 'cause they're gonna get their asses fucking booed. People are going to come out to jeer them. That's literally what is going to happen. Nobody wants to see Joe Biden in a disaster area. He is a walking disaster area. And then when you talk about any kind of relief, imagine having to, imagine if lost everything, your home, maybe some family members, pets or animals that were on your property and every material possession that you've ever had and then having to come down and hear Kamala Harris read something off of a teleprompter or a prepared speech before not taking any questions much like she did at FEMA headquarters yesterday. They were pressed there. They pushed her on answering anything. She finished talking, walked from the podium to the people who were, I guess, the highest ranking officials at this FEMA headquarters, took a picture with them and was ushered off. Zero commentary to anyone affected or anyone providing relief, all of the heroes that have been involved, saving people over the course of the last 48 to 72 hours, et cetera. It's a complete embarrassment and America has to see this. They have to wake up because listen, outside of all the other stuff, your empty bank account, your rotting educational system, all the things you can't do with your kids, migrant crimes, open borders, failing geopolitically. A natural disaster can happen in any community in the United States. Who do you want responding to that? Who do you want following through to make sure you can pick up the pieces and move on with your life after something like Hurricane Helene happens again? Do you want it to be Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? We're gonna read four minute prepared statements off teleprompters, answer no questions and say no additional aid, regardless of how widespread the damage is, is going to be sent to any of these areas after Zelensky is on his way back to Ukraine. $10 billion richer and $9 billion more dollars are going to Israel and their defense of themselves against Hezbollah and Hamas as well. Is that what you want to happen? Or do you want Donald Trump to come down there with aid now and potentially on the other side of the ballot box and starting in next January, aid to get your communities back on their feet again? It's a question maybe outside of just the normal realm of politics that you have to ask yourself. Joe Biden was pissed, especially when the going back and forth about phone calls and distractions were becoming a critical component of the news cycle yesterday. I don't know what they were doing, but they were inside the Oval Office. He was doing some staged meeting with like my Commerce Secretary because, oh, again, now we have the long Sherman and the dock worker strike the entire East Coast. You know, it's not like the entire supply chain is shutting down, but a very critical aspect of it is now not working, costing the American industry billions of dollars a day. And over the course of several weeks, you could start to see it reflected in your grocery store shelves. So take that into consideration. Another strike, another, and these people are striking for one reason and one reason only, our wages don't match the economy. They're not going to push the blame because all of the unions that represent them are backed and funded by the Democrats and it's reciprocal with campaigns, donations and such. But they're essentially saying like the current economy we're in translation in the last four years under Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. We can't live under these wages. Oh, well, I guess that sucks. As it happens when you back the Democrats, oh, okay, but we're going to strike and now they're striking. So we're in day one of the strike. We'll see how long it goes. They were asking Joe Biden about this, but then I guess segue to some of Donald Trump's commentary about how Joe Biden has been sleeping and hard to reach on the phone with the instances of some of the governors who Donald Trump had talked to as well. Let's hear it. - Mr. President and Governor Cooper, Donald Trump has accused both of you of ignoring the decisions and lying, let me get in this straight. He's lying and the governor told him he was lying. The governor told me he's lying. I spoke to the governor, I spent time with him and he told me he's lying. I don't know why he does this. And the reason I get so angry about it, I don't care about what he says about me. I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. He implies that we're not doing everything possible. We are, we are. And you spoke to the governor, I assume you heard the Republican governor of Georgia talk about that he was on the phone with me more than once. So this is simply not true, is it? - Listen, you're the sitting president of the United States. I don't care how old and decrepit and feeble-minded you are. Put on your A-bands, throw on a bomber jacket, fly in the opposite direction of Delaware and that would be down to Georgia, get off the plane. And for five minutes, say that you're here, you're here to help and we're here to get people back on track with their lives that have been uprooted both metaphorically and literally over the course of the last couple of days by Hurricane Helene. So, you know, it's as simple as that. And if Donald Trump wants to bend truths and take potshots at Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for vacationing in Delaware over the weekend or remaining out on the campaign trail doing fundraisers in Vegas, more power to him. He's the one that actually had the balls to show up, had the pockets deep enough to bring supplies and the presentation of what we talked about to lead into this new segment, leaders, lead, this critical junction of the election cycle you have to look presidential doing it. I think Donald Trump hit all the benchmarks, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, resounding failures in it. So much so that even fake new CNN would weigh in on this talking about how, hey, listen, this is a big deal that's going on right now with this natural disaster and people are absolutely getting crushed. You know, while Joe Biden's being defensive of his extended vacation in Delaware throughout the weekend, Donald Trump was physically on the ground by Monday providing relief to those who needed it. It's not really the narrative that I think you'd be normally hearing on places like CNN, but who knows, maybe people, it's a Southern state located news agency, obviously, with its headquarters being in Georgia. Let's hear how they were kind of looking at this. - He's being treated not just as a former president, but it almost as though he is a sitting president. As Boris, you just noted, getting a briefing from FEMA, getting a briefing from the National Guard. That is not something that is typically just offered to a candidate. They are treating him as though he is a former president who is there to help, and one thing that I had noticed earlier during our 1 p.m. conversation was that Donald Trump did not have that much to offer in terms of resources since he is not a sitting president. But I will note that he and the campaign say that they have arrived in that area with trucks full of supplies that they plan on giving out. So there is something there for them to offer. He also said that he had a tanker truck full of gasoline, which obviously, if you've ever covered one of these storms, you understand that one of the first things that hardest things to come by is gasoline. So he said that he was going to be giving that out. He is clearly taking this seriously as a politician is on the ground trying to show that he is there in support of the people on the ground in Georgia. - What else could you ask for? It's simple, show up, FaceTime, mean it. It's something that neither Joe Biden or Kamala Harris cared to or accomplished this weekend. And that is the biggest contrast. You're going to get the beach, you're going to get word salad, you're going to get pissed off, or you're going to get real leadership back. And as we're getting ready to segue here and wrap up our second Tuesday edition of the show, there was one more item I want to kind of touch on with all the developing news of Donald Trump out on the campaign trail, Chris Cross and Kamala Harris, Joe Biden absent over the weekend in the face of natural disasters and what presidential really looks like, we do have the vice presidential debate tonight. Now again, a reminder, no vice president has ever moved the needle that has willed a presidential candidate over the finish line. As is the case with this election cycle. However, in just the context of the debate, I'll remind our listenership or those who are coming in for the first time and just getting used to our narrative, what we've covered and how we've covered it over the years. During the 2022 presidential election cycle, we extendedly covered a lot of the debates between major candidates, especially those running for the US Senate and governorships across the country. Now JD Vance, I thought, provided a masterclass in his first debate, one which ended a sitting US senators career. As he was able to take advance now, win the US Senate seat in Ohio, one that she held until he was tapped to become the vice presidential nominee with Donald Trump. Now the media has been leaking all weekend, that big gay horseshizz guzzling Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who's quickly becoming another real-life Mr. Garrison, is nervous, isn't the best debater, wants to set the bar low. Again, if you just want confirmation of what we're up against and on the other side of the coin, what we're offering, watch, take in and enjoy, JD Vance probably provide another masterclass in the form of the vice presidential debate tonight. Otherwise, you'll catch all the comprehensive highlights here on the "Stake for Breakfast" podcast, as we'll lead in with that, outside of any major, major news coming down in our Friday editions of the show this coming week. CNN led in yesterday during their afternoon programming, had a little panel there and some exclusive reporting, previewing the vice presidential debate tonight. Let's listen in. - Even last week, I was in New York at a fundraiser that Tim Walz was doing at an apartment there, and he said, after I left the room, I heard he said to someone who asked, how's debate prep going? He said, look, I was trained as a teacher. As a teacher, we're trained to answer the questions. We tell our students to answer the questions, and that's not what this is. So Walz really trying to fit himself into this somewhat awkward always thing of a nationally televised debate. - Man, did you see something? Just this weekend, Donald Trump shows up in Tuscaloosa at the Alabama Georgia game deep in the heart of SEC country. Standing ovation, chance of Trump throughout the stadium, 120,000 people. Some of the progressive outlets or deranged accounts on social media would find like the one or two people in the entire stadium who were flipping off pressure than Trump were booing. But when you're talking about something that is impossible to stage, and that's such a diverse audience that would be at a college football game, to see Donald Trump warmly received, should tell everybody, be a major bellwether indicator for the upcoming election as well. Tim Walz, on the other hand, raised dire by clogging up traffic for nearly 40 minutes, heading into the Michigan football game this weekend, as his presidential and vice presidential level motorcade created a little bit of a traffic conundrum for those looking to go and watch the Wolverines win. In addition, when Tim Walz was walking into the stadium and was heckled by people who were supporters of Donald Trump, not by saying curse words or being vulgar, by just saying, hey Tim Walz, Donald Trump 2024, Walz flipped them off before using jazz hands and limp wrists to do everything from creepily hug the Minnesota mascot, the Golden Gopher all the way up through, again, flashing vulgar signs at college football goers who were there and wanted to make a political statement for themselves. So, we'll see what happens with JD Vance this weekend, but in our last audio clip of the day, here is CNN's Scott Jennings breaking it down a little bit, especially when it comes to the entire discussion surrounding Tim Walz, and what he brings to the table in the upcoming vice presidential debate. Let's hear it. - I agree with you about Walz, actually. He is what he is, and he is probably the person who is most in over their head in American politics right now. There's a reason they don't let him talk to the press. There's a reason he doesn't have any extended interactions where he's answering complicated questions, like what he should face at this debate. And so, I think there's a lot of pressure on him here, honestly, to prove that he is up to this. And I think Vance is far more schooled at the issues at the core of this campaign than Walz is, and he has an opportunity to show that Walz was a fundamentally weak pick by Harris. And I think that would be his goal for Tuesday night. - And there you have it. You know, Tim Walz isn't gonna be able to run circles around JD Vance in the form of the abortion or reproductive freedom conversation. We already saw JD Vance dismantle a sitting US Democrat senator in the 2022 midterm election cycle as part of blowing up the fake news narrative and winning that argument talking point when he ran for his Senate seat for the first time. In addition, listen, for them to say that Tim Walz is the most out of place unprepared, politician out of the foreign vault at the top of the ticket for this election cycle when Kamala Harris is your running mate, that says a lot. That says a lot. So, take it with a grain of salt. Enjoy it if you watch it tonight, but join us for the recap on our Friday editions with the show as we're going to leave it at that and get ready to jump in with the executive secretary of the New York Young Republican Club, Vishbar, but before we do, we're gonna have a final check-in with one of our partners. - It's an unpleasant truth that 42% of Americans are obese and 79% of Americans are overweight.

Make America healthy again. - All right, joining us next on the show today, this week's Tuesday edition of the State for Breakfast podcast. He's the executive secretary at the New York Young Republican Club, one of our great friends, Mr. MAGA himself. Fishboro, welcome back to the show. - Hey, Rob, thanks for having me, brother. - Always a pleasure. We know you guys are always working hard on your end and when we can catch up and share a little bit for our listenership, I think it's a win, win, win for America first. Got a lot of stuff to talk about and wanna jump in. Well, let's start off with the presidential race right now. We saw a tale of two tapes this weekend. Kamal Harris grandstands down at the US Southern border and then jet sets over to Vegas for an elaborate fundraiser. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is in the heart of SEC territory at the Alabama Georgia game and speaking to the Peach State, he'll be there delivering goods today to people who have been affected by Hurricane Helene. While Joe Biden says he'll be a distraction if he goes there and Kamal Harris is, you know, in all such contexts really weighed in on the situation yet. This is a tale of two leaderships. I mean, if America's looking for a choice at the ballot box on November 5th outside of politics, it's optically what this weekend looked like and I kind of want your commentary on how you saw it kind of unfold in real time. - Well, first of all, let's talk about the optics that matter, I mean, it's just the destruction and the total sort of annihilation of that region of the country, which is, you know, South Appalachia. It's not, you know, you have Western North Carolina, you have Northeastern stretching into Northwestern Georgia and East Tennessee. I mean, they've been totally devastated. You can tell that this community is not really prepared on an infrastructure basis for a storm of this magnitude. So, you know, our hearts go out to them and we want to make sure that we're paying attention to the right organizations and organizations that aren't going to stiff them, you know, as they go around and start collecting donations to help these people are playing to, that's another thing, but please be on the lookout for good organizations that are looking to help those folks and, you know, support them with money, resources, donations, whatever you can do. So, that is definitely the optics that the rest stems upon and clearly Joe Biden, you know, if he's the president, you know, you could have fooled me. No, the fact of the matter is that he says that he would be a distraction. I just think that it would be really hard for him to even keep his footing on the ground properly as he moves through destroyed roads, destroyed sidewalks, destroyed homes, destroyed businesses. I don't think that they'll be able to move this guy two feet without him stumbling in such a scenario in such a location, and so that's why they don't want to put him there, and if he's not the one able to carry himself through that, his staff are the ones who would literally have to put him on their shoulders and walk him through it, also terrible optics. And so, that's why he's opted for no optics there. And that basically shows that he has no leadership gas left in the tank, and so that's where we're on. I mean, this guy's checked out one foot out the door. I'm surprised he doesn't just resign already and just make VP Conlow, the president, give her the last final juice in this run, you know, in the election, but I think he'd have to first make sure that Hunter Biden gets part in personal his charges. So I think that there's that going on, and then on the other side, of course, Donald Trump, MAGA train cannot be stopped, right? Like this guy is just chugging through, showed up in front of, you know, thousands and thousands of supporters at the stadium in Tuscaloosa. This is, the guy has never looked better than before, and he's just laying it on blunt, right? He goes to his rallies and he just lets, he just tells people, listen, Conlow is mentally impaired, she was born this way. She's been like this her whole life. There's no holding back and taking nothing for granted. Donald Trump, and then obviously moving to get resources and help folks in that Georgia region, et cetera, that have been affected by Hurricane Helene. He's put on a masterclass for this campaign since, I mean, the day he announced, and the fact of the matter is that we don't know how much more of this we can take. We need November 5th to come as soon as it can. We need Donald Trump to be declared the president as soon as that can be done, and we need January 20th to hurry up and get here so that we can swear men and he gets control of the country. And as he promised at our gallon in New York, he would be dictator on day one. Just for one day, one day to shut close the border and drill, drill, drill. - Make a lot of excellent points there, and I'll tell you what, it's funny how the media kind of spins that narrative. We know he says it half-jokingly, but when you talk about the executive orders that would come down on day one, those are the ones that would probably be reassuring to the American people who are hurting right now. I think the entire introduction that you let us in with there, Vish, is talking about the absence of real leadership on the world and the faster we can get, a captain back at the con would be better for America in its entirety. I think it's embarrassing to watch Joe Biden kind of do what he's doing in his final days, snapping at the press yesterday, saying that I was busy over the weekend. I was on the phone for a couple hours. Meanwhile, they show him at like a coffee shop there and out on the beach walking with his wife over the weekend. And again, you can live your own life, but when Israel is getting ready to invade Lebanon, when you have such a big tragedy like the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and all those effective, still hundreds, if not thousands, missing and unaccounted for in at least five states across, you know, the American Southeast. And then when you talk about just what's going on in this presidential race, I mean, if you wanted an example of what real leadership looks like, Kamal Harrison, Joe Biden obviously are offering one thing where Donald Trump is showing the other what it looks like. And then tonight, we have a huge event. It's gonna be the one and only vice presidential debate. Obviously, you guys over there at the club are huge fans at JD Vance. I think he's done an amazing job out on the campaign trail, countering both the Democrats and running alongside Donald Trump. You know, we go back to our grades for the 2022 midterm election cycle. He was the highest rated debater out of all of them. And I think the receipts that he brought during the debate, the preparedness level he had in questions regarding immigration and even abortion, which I thought he gave a masterclass on in the 2022 cycle, I think willed him to the senatorial seat there. Now we're getting ready to see him sit and go against sitting governor Tim Walts. I mean, you can say whatever you want about that guy. He's just weird. And, you know, when you talk about what things look like in places like Ohio, how it shifted Major League Red over the course of the last half decade and what things look like in Minnesota now coming out of the summer of love and into a presidential election cycle, it seems like America is gonna have a clear cut choice of what they want to represent them in the vice presidency that is welcome tonight. - Oh yeah, I mean, there's just no doubt about it. This, the idea, I don't know who had the idea of Tim Walts and JD doing the debate. I suppose that they'd have to do one, but I'm the Walts campaign. I am shaking in my boots right now because there is no denying the buffoonery that is Tim Walts. And I mean, just the things he says are ridiculous. He has a short temper, easy to get under his skin and he's just a blowhard. But if that wasn't bad enough, you know, most communication is spoken through body language and this guy has some of the worst body language that I have ever seen in my life for a quote unquote leader. But I, only in Minnesota can those folks be nice enough to let this guy anywhere near the control panels of the governor's office because in any other state in the country, I think he would be seen and laughed at as a buffoon and would never give this guy a vote to run anything. The fact of the matter is that JD Vance is a polished maga siwinder missile and he's not just powerful, but he's precise. That's what you get when you have somebody who is not only a Marine who served this nation, but a Ivy League Yale grad well spoken has the demeanor and the gate of a white vice president. I think he's just, we're just walking into what I think we all know is gonna happen, which is Tim Walts will be slaughtered by JD Vance in this debate. It won't even be close. There's no answer that Walts can give that I think can put JD on his back foot. I think JD is usually very well prepared too. And so that also is to Tim Walts' disadvantage because I don't think Walts will be a good freestyler. I think he'll get emotional and he'll try to yell his way out of a bad situation. And so that's what I think without we can expect but JD is gonna be, like I said, he's gonna be precise. He's gonna be fast and he's gonna hit hard. And that's what we should expect. And just to the point of the lack of leadership that we're already dealing with in terms of Biden being in office. I mean, this guy, when the press asked him about Israel's strikes on Lebanon, he thought when he heard the word strike, he went and talked about the Longshoreman strike and collective bargaining that we're expecting here on the Atlantic coast. So, and what you're gonna see tomorrow in the VP debate is the next, the leadership that the Democrats are promising for the next four years, which is going to be, everyone's gonna be watching. And I think everyone will be reminded that we just cannot live like this for another four years. - Yeah, it's what we're getting now even worse. The 20 million illegals that have been in here will begin petitioning for their families. It'll turn into 50 million. They'll all have pathways to citizenship. Social Security Medicare will be dissolved. The continuing eroding of the labor market, the value of the dollar, the education system for our kids will continue to be destroyed. It starts there and then spider webs out to everything going on with the crisis in the Middle East in Eastern Europe, obviously down in the US, Southern border, et cetera. So America already has seen what it is. I think they need to start understanding what the consequence looks like over the course of the next four years of Kamala Harris wins on November 5th. However, I think with the job that Donald Trump and JD Vance is doing right now, heading towards election day, we don't need to worry about it as much, but we do need to continue to get involved, which is what I wanna ask you about next. So, there are a lot of people who are planning on voting for Donald Trump and JD Vance, especially the people who listen to the shows that you're involved with, the ones that we work on here. And listen, Vish, this is an election where just your vote as a citizen isn't going to be enough to get Donald Trump and JD Vance over the finish line, it's community involvement. It's getting involved in like the Trump Force 47, being a poll worker, being someone that's overseeing what's going on on election day, et cetera. Just give a little bit of insight on how you kind of direct people to get involved. You guys do such great stuff over on more room with the Force multiplier and things of that nature. I wanna kind of be able to give our listenership a little bit of that spin today and let them know, in the critical 30 some odd days we have left to election day, how important it is to still jump off the fence and get involved even if you decided not to do so yet. - Yeah, I want everyone in this audience to consider, do you want to play offense or do you want to play defense? So if you want to play offense, get involved, go on with trumpforce47.com. T-R-U-N-P-F-O-R-C-E-4-7, the numbers.com. They are actively recruiting to get ballot chasers, they are actively recruiting to get any sort of volunteer help for door knocking, et cetera. Go be, build up the manpower on Trumpforce47 for the campaign's ability to reach out to voters and to get to all those final votes that are available to touch them and to get them out whether that's through early voting, whether that's through ballot chasing or making sure that they come out on election day. That's offense. If you wanna play defense, go to protectthevote.com and work with those folks to get poll watching positions and just ballot integrity positions and whether that's volunteer or paid for, that's all available. We need to make sure that we protect the integrity of the ballot come election day. And obviously even before that, as these ballots are being counted and even after that, as the ballots are being counted, we need to make sure that our people are in the room making sure that there's no funny business, no shenanigans. And so those are the tip. Right now it's offense and defense. Focus like a laser, know your role, do your job. That's all you have to do in order to win and we'll bring this home for Donald J. Trump. - No, it's a great way to look at it. You can either be on either offense or defense and both are major contributors to what are gonna equate into a big win on November 5th. If everyone listening gets involved, get those people out and your family, your friends, those casual voters who might not have turned in their mail in ballot yet and encourage them all to get done and then encourage them all to get involved. And then again, Vish, you've had a lot bigger spin on what's going on in New York. You're dialed into all things related to the Big Apple and the Empire State. Listen, we had a major news story break there last week where I guess a decades old investigation into current NYC Mayor Eric Adams has him going down the path of facing corruption charges. But, you know, we have pointed out on the show for quite a long time. He was one of the biggest blue city figures to speak out against the unmitigated illegal aliens who were getting dumped in his city costing taxpayers, billions of dollars over the course of the last couple of years and you've kind of got a bigger spin onto why the government's going after him right now and I wanna hear your take on it. - Yeah, absolutely. The indictment of Eric Adams by Biden's DOJ is a total misdirection play. This, actually, this is not a decades long investigation. This really stems from his time in the mayor's office since he's been running and then elected. What basically, what you're seeing, what you're watching is a coup that is happening right now. And the main actors in the coup who are looking to get rid of New York City Mayor Eric Adams is the progressive wing of the New York Democratic Party with their partners in the Biden-Harris DOJ at the Southern District of New York. And the reason that these folks have come together to make this quote unquote "coup happen" is because people have to understand, yes, Adams is a Democrat, yes, on any given day he's gonna be left on most issues. But there were two issues specifically that Mayor Adams was not following the Democrat leftist, Marxist, Orthodoxy on and he was not a cow-towing to the sacred cows of the left. And those two issues are illegal, mass illegal immigration and crime in the streets. - Right. - And so the New York progressive wing of the Democratic Party has been very, very upset with Adams because he talks about the need to overturn the bail reform issue, the need to bring back broken windows style policing, the need to start getting criminals off the streets in order to make New York safer commerce and which is the main thing that drives New York really, Rudy Giuliani understood this, Mayor Bloomberg understood this and they understood that safe streets leads to vibrant commerce. In fact, Nahi Bukele in El Salvador says as much that he just adopted broken windows policing on a national scale for his country and look at the success story that is. And so Adams on a level wants to return to that and Adams himself being a former police officer and a former NYPD officer, he essentially to the New York progressive Dems, he represents the capture of City Hall by the NYPD, right? And so they are really upset on the criminal policing front of that. On the other side is the Biden-Harris administration, which is very, very upset that the mayor of one of the largest cities in America with one of the largest media markets in America is going out there and talking about how mass illegal immigration is a problem that the federal government knows the border and how that this migrant illegal immigrant issue is going to destroy New York City and he's on record saying yes much. And now that's not just him, that's even as top advisors have gone on the record and said they need to close the border and even those people got raided recently too. And so Eric Adams has been bringing the bell being kind of the Paul Revere of this thing very, very loudly on the illegal immigrants issue. And that is to the chagrin of the Biden-Harris administration 'cause he's a Democrat and a black Democrat. And so all these, the New York progressive Dems and the Biden-Harris DOJ at this other district of NY, by the way, these folks are all friends, they all know each other, they're all based out of New York City. So don't get it, this is not as hard as a conspiracy as people think it is. It's actually rather very easy. And so these folks got together and jammed up Adams on about what they claim is $100,000 worth of travel benefits but basically business class upgrades which are given to normal people for free by the way. And upgrades on hotel rooms that if you look at fair market value, honestly the numbers are seriously blown up to get that $100,000 number anyway. But then it's the additional 9 million in straw donations from foreign donors that then he got eight to one matching on public matching funds from New York City to run for office. We have this terrible public funds matching system for campaigns where if you raise X amount of dollars from a New York City resident, you can get those funds that were donated matched eight to one from the city and public taxpayer funds. Now, I'm not saying that this is the right thing to do or this is not a crime. What I'm saying is this is a system that's bad on its face in the first place which allows for mass theft of taxpayer funds but it's also a system that's used by practically every Democrat in New York state whether that's at the assembly level, the city council level, state senate level, all of these people use this public funds system and all of them game the donations and the donors in a such a way where they can maximize the public funds matching system as well. So, honestly, if they want to go after Adams on this, that's fine but once Trump gets in to the admin, he should launch an investigation and to act blue immediately on this foreign foreign straw donations thing and structuring of donations in a way to maximize the public matching fund system. This is, I can guarantee you that the rabbit hole goes down way further than Eric Adams and this is all just a prop to get rid of this guy because he's inconvenient on a local and federal level to the Democrat party. - Sure, we've seen something similar with Lori Lightfoot who although she was crazy was more of a traditional Democrat in a lot of the sense the way Eric Adams was not with her relationship to law enforcement but just some of the traditional values that historically the radical progressives want to see ushered out and what a new face of the Democrat party won that bears pronouns and things of that nature be ushered in to continue to ruin our society and like you alluded to bitch major cities across the country. And then in wrapping now, we got the gala coming up here where we're hitting the fall finally the leaves are changing, it's the height of football season but we all know that New York Young Republican Club have the best gals, they had the best one last year as well with Donald Trump being the keynote speaker but there were so many critical figures in America first who came and attended the event, spoke of the event as well and you guys got another banger cooking up right now and just want to kind of get a little bit of preview of where you guys are at and maybe your guest list and how could people, if they want to get involved and maybe check out the event this year can do so. - Yeah, absolutely. We have the 112th New York Young Republican Club annual gala coming up on December 15th at Chipriani Wall Street in Manhattan, New York same location as last year where we were proud and honored and privileged to host Donald J. Trump to give the keynote speech and he did not disappoint he dropped a few baggers there that night and we were very happy that he did so. This year we have the keynote speakers as Nigel, MP Nigel Farage, actually collected this time, this go around and political prisoner, Stephen K Bannon, who will be out by the time the gala rolls around and I'm sure he'll have plenty to say to a crowd that's adored him and a club that's adored him for a very long time he was our keynote speaker in 2019 when Gavin and I first took over and we were still building that club out of the ground but we managed to pack that room with about 350 well dressed young attendees ready to hear from the honey badger himself. So that doesn't mean that we won't be announcing more speakers as we approach the December 15th date we're expecting another big night and it would be incredible if Donald Trump wins on when Donald Trump wins on November 5th that we will be rolling into victory with this massive celebration and who knows how many of those folks in the crowd will be tapped by the administration to come help them save America come 2025 that might be the real project, 2025.

It's something that not enough people talk about when you see the rise to prominence and favorability outside of the own campaigning that he's done and I'm talking about President Trump and his race to recapture the White House. You guys have been running right alongside that facilitating things like rallies he's had there, speaking events obviously hosted him at the gala next year and we got to give credit where credit was due.
