As cringy as it was, we'll take a look and see how America responded to her historic and transparent trip down to Arizona.

We'll catch up with Indiana Congresswoman, Aaron Halchin. We'll also catch up with Tennessee Congressman, Kim Burchin. And round out today's show, sitting down with the executive secretary of the New York Young Republican Club, Fishborough. But before we get to any of our interviews, let's dive right into these headlines and change the way you consume your news. Okay, this is not knob. This is bowling. They're a rule. Hey, hey, hey, junior! America! It's like, for the best! So, stand by! All right, everybody. Welcome to the State 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 on a busy two Tuesday editions of the show. I'm Ron, flying solo today. I know I had some last-minute work. Responsibilities that I needed to tend to. And when the forklifting comes a call in, I guess the podcast and won't be performing. And so we're just going to get it done today. Busy news morning here, as we're, again, set for two big Tuesday editions of the podcast. Great guest lineup coming in here today. We'll be catching up in a much longer format. Then we were able to, two weeks ago, with the infamous political icon, Roger Stone. Indiana Congresswoman Aaron Hoachin will be joining us as well. We'll catch up with Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchit and the executive secretary of the New York Young Republican Club, Vish Berra will be here. So, busy news morning, busy news afternoon here on Tuesday. I'm watching on the news right now. Iran has opened up a front into Israel's response, continued response for October 7th, having nearly wrapped up their operations in Gaza, Israel this week. Opened up a new front into Lebanon, taking on Hezbollah. A lot of leadership from both terrorist entities have been eliminated by Israel. But now we see Iran launching hundreds of missiles into Israel, including the capital of Tel Aviv. We see a terrorist attack today where two gunmen attack citizens in Israel outside of a transit station. And when you just look at it in the totality of circumstances, you could put an overwhelming majority of the blame for what's going on right now on Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their lack of response or support for one of our allies. In addition to that, obviously we have ongoing response into the hurricane, Hurricane Halene, which just absolutely bore down on the southeastern portions of the United States last week, decimating portions of Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, rural Tennessee, etc. It's going to be good to get some insight, what's it look like on the ground in Tennessee from Congressman Tim Birch. It'll be joining us in the first interview segment of our second show today. And again, thoughts and prayers, definitely going out to all those effective pleas with more rain on the way. If you haven't gotten out of the area and can get to safety, get to high ground, leave behind the material possession so you yourself can live to see another day. And in addition, check out the GoFundMe that's attached to just about every major player within the Trump campaign. Donald Trump started to go fund me yesterday. I checked before I jumped in the show today already at $3 million, and that's in addition to Donald Trump heading down to Georgia yesterday with supplies, doing speaking again and again. beating Joe Biden, beating Kamala Harris, and beating the Democrats to the punch on response for national and international tragedies. Donald Trump has been at the forefront of that since he began his campaign back in November of 2022, and continues to do so and set the standard as what being presidential should look like. The news today on the show. I mean, there's a lot of minor things going on, obviously major in the big scheme of things we just talked about. And again, I say minor in the context of the presidential election is one, one A, one B, one C. It's the only thing that we're going to be directing a lot of our coverage to between now and election day, because a lot of the problems that we could talk about provide commentary on, give analysis on our things that could get solved in January of next year. If Donald Trump can win back the White House, we retain and extend the House majority on the Republican side and then obviously flip the US Senate back into Republican control. So again, our listenership is going to be hearing and our emphasis is going to be focused on the presidential election and all things such. We do have the vice presidential debate tonight. Remember, vice presidents do not make or break elections. They do not move the needle in regards to undecided voters. In the in the races that are presidential. However, I think it's going to be good for America, who's still getting to know or become familiar with. Maybe even those who have only heard the rumors coming from the Democrat side about JD Vance. We'll get to see him in live action tonight. So excited. Looking forward to that. We'll do a minor preview on the show, but then touch on it with all four of our guests. We'll be looking at two different Trump rallies. He rallied out in Wisconsin over the weekend and in Pennsylvania earlier this week. Kamala Harris finally visited the US Southern border. We'll check into how that awfully went and how America kind of reacted. And then again, as we let in with today, Donald Trump continues to seize the moment into looking presidential and acting presidential and being presidential in regards to the responses to these national tragedies. The latest being Hurricane Helene and the communities across the American southeast that have been decimated by it. So we're going to be jumping right into the news now. Not take too long with monologuing because again, Noah's not here. Everything's good on my end. Just another busy week. Got some birthdays going on. One of my little ones got some family coming in town later this week. And we spend time with them over the weekend. Of course, sports dominating the schedules of both of my kids. Therefore, my wife and myself, but feeling a little bit better than I was last week when I had a respiratory infection and ready to go here on the first of two big additions of steak for breakfast. First rally, we're checking out. Came on Friday afternoon. Donald Trump was up in Prairie, Duchin, Wisconsin, battleground state. One that the margins continue to narrow for Kamala Harris right now is Donald Trump has officially parked himself within the margin of era. Huge manufacturing going on up there. A huge agriculture component. Obviously, the dairy industry is taking care of in the United States coming out of the great state of Wisconsin as well. We all love our cheese and whole milk and things of that nature. But listen, he's going to continue to do the work in these states, except to see a lot of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan before election day. I'm hearing rumors that he might be doing something in New Jersey coming up. There's also rumors that Donald Trump will be holding a rally in places like Virginia as well. All of that is awesome. The more pressure you could put on Democrats and states that they think they have in the bag. If Donald Trump could do it, if the finances allow it, I would continue to do it. You get to provide that rarity of FaceTime this close to an election from a major candidate that you wouldn't normally get in a traditional cycle. And listen, if it comes down to like Donald Trump's going to do a rally in New Jersey, but in the same time do it with another rally either that day later, or maybe the next day in a battleground state and he feels like physically he can continue to do that, more power to him. I think the more President Trump we see on television, talking to the press, and having major FaceTime, the better for us. So let's jump into the rally here. Again, this was in Prairie, Duchin, Wisconsin, Battleground State, Donald Trump had just taken the stage and started laying out his pitch for the American voters here. Okay, I stand before you to make this promise. I will liberate Wisconsin from this mass migrant invasion of murderers, rapists, hoodlums, drug dealers, thugs, and vicious gang members. We're going to liberate our country. I will liberate our nation. Our nation will be free again. If we win this election, and it's going to have to go fast because we're not going to be able to handle it, our nation will be free again, and it'll be free. And I'm the only one that's going to be able to do it. Nobody else even talks about it. Nobody else even -- do you ever notice the way these people, they don't want to talk about it because they think it's bad publicity for their town? It's not -- it's bad publicity when people are killed all over the place. I don't want to talk about it. We will not allow these people to invade us, conquer us, and take all of our dignity and pride and everything we have stood for from the very beginning of our lives. You have dignity and pride in this town and this area and this state, and they want to take that dignity and pride. They want to invade. They want to take over your homes. They want to take over your buildings. Look at what they're doing in Colorado, Aurora, Colorado. And then as well as gangs are taking over real estate. They're real estate developers like I was, but they do it with a gun. I did it with bank financing. They do it with a gun. A little bit more traditional. They will save your communities, and we will work with your law enforcement. They're going to save your communities. You've got the greatest people on earth, and you've got to respect them, and when you have good ones, you've got to hug them and kiss them and tell them we love you. You know, in just a little context into the opening of the remarks that Donald Trump was delivering there. Prior to Sheen is one of the places that have had a large number of illegal migrants dumped via Biden Harris flights into it over the course of the last couple of years. This goes in comparison with places like Springfield, Ohio, Aurora, Colorado, and many other communities that we're seeing this becoming an instance. Donald Trump's starting here. And remember, this was not the first selected venue that Donald Trump had picked out because of the UN General Assembly, because of Kamala Harris being out on the campaign trail, because of some other high value assets. Being in and around the United States and doing public events, Donald Trump was not afforded the same level of secret security detail would have taken to safely secure the original venue they wanted, one which we talked about with Wisconsin, Congressman Tom Tiffany, and read some insight from a letter given to the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service from Missouri Senator Josh Hawley on our Friday edition of the show. So, a little bit of a smaller venue, but again, packed as usual. It doesn't sound like a rally because, again, he was just delivering remarks. And as Donald Trump would begin to lay out his platform for the supporters that were there on this day, of course, you know, he's going to be talking about his day one agenda items. Let's hear it. In one of my new administration, I'll stop all of the migrant flights into our country. You know, those planes are flying over right now, and they don't count them in the numbers. I don't know if you know, they and the phone app, which are thousands and thousands of, they're not counted in the numbers. That's why they do it, because they don't want to count it. I will end catch and release. I will restore, remain in Mexico. I will bring back Title 42. That's the medical. I will send in federal law enforcement to rescue every town that has been taken over by migrant gangs and criminal alien thugs. (Applause) And by that time, many of your towns in this great state will be in that position. It's happening fast. It's happening fast. And again, the politicians don't like talking because they think it's bad publicity. Worst publicity is to let it happen. The governor of Colorado, he's a Democrat, liberal guy. He's beside it. He doesn't know what to do. The coward. These Venezuelans have come in. They've taken over big parts of his towns, and they're armed with weapons that the military doesn't even have. We will seal the border. We will stop the invasion immediately. We will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country, because we have no choice. (Applause) And you know, he would dive into these numbers, the ones that came out from, I guess, ICE and the Department of Homeland Security last week. There has been some pushback from the Biden administration, from the Harris campaign, saying that these numbers are of a span of longer than 40 years of tabulation. However, I just don't believe that. I think there has to be kind of a deep dive into these numbers, but to be able to try and break it down as numbers that existed during other administrations, including Donald Trump, we can tell you one thing. They could say as many of those 13,000-plus murder convicts, and then the sexual assault convicts, which are nearly 16,000 according to these stats. When you look at the numbers of release that was going on under Donald Trump into the interior of the United States, it just wasn't happening at those record numbers. So there's a possibility that out of all those numbers during the Trump administration, you could probably count both sub-tabs on both hands. But besides that, listen, it's already been confirmed through investigative journaling, through people who worked prior in the last Trump administration, border correspondents who have come through the show. People are coming up, ditching their passports, giving fake names and dates of birth, and being released in the country. So even though these numbers are mind-blowing and astronomical in totality, there's still no way to accurately report. And again, you can't consider getaways into these numbers. It's pretty interesting. I saw there was eight illegals arrested in Eastern Tennessee earlier this week. All eight came into the United States under Joe Biden and Kamal Harris, and were all considered getaways. They had never been processed by U.S. Customs and Border Patrols. So again, the numbers are the numbers. I think that some people who are probably more supportive of what Trump policies would look like on the other side of the holidays this year and after January 20th of next leaked these numbers out to the press. Here's Donald Trump weighing in on them over the weekend. When I saw these migrant crime numbers yesterday, first time, first time they'd ever been released. They don't release numbers on murders, but they did. Somebody probably liked me. They said, "Boy, this is unfair." But they released them. I said, "You know, this is the real deal. This is something that's very special. There's nothing as serious as this. This is nothing can be as serious as this." Because this gets down to the very fabric of our society, your way of life. I mean, you're going to be looking around over your shoulder all the time, communities that were safe. This is more important in a way than inflation, which is a disaster in this country. She's destroyed our middle class of senior citizens. This is more important than anything having to do with the economy. We'll make it better. We'll make the economy. This is something bigger, in a sense, because this is the fabric of our country. She's letting in people who are going to walk into your house, break into your door, and they'll do anything they want. They'll do anything they want. These people are animals. She's released people. These people are animals now. They'll say, "Oh, that's a terrible thing for him to say." No, no. These people are animals. These are stone, cold, killers. They're heartless. They wake up the next morning and they don't even think about what they did the day before. These are real killers. These are the worst. These are people that have been in jail for many years. These are people that killed many people. They took them out of their jails. You know, in Venezuela, their jails are almost empty all over the world. You know, this isn't just South America. The Congo, their jails are almost empty. The Congo in Africa. They took them out. They bring them into our country. Many, many countries, their jails are almost empty. Some are empty. Some are much less than that. I would do it the same thing. I would have been better than any of them. I would have had everybody out of there. Some of them still have people. They probably couldn't get buses to get them in, right? There you go. You know, you need a lot of buses, but they're bringing them into our country at levels. Never seen before, and your law enforcement over here, you know, you just had a problem here. It is a beautiful place. We'll talk about it. But what they're doing to us, and I saw that. It's also the fact that they're taking all of our black populations' jobs and our Hispanic populations' jobs. You haven't seen the real job numbers yet. And I said this also. Two years ago, I said, these people that are coming across the border illegally by the millions are taking the jobs of the black population of America and the Hispanic population of America. Have you seen their job numbers recently? They won't release them, I guarantee, until after the election. But you take a look at the black population job numbers. You take a look at the Hispanic population job numbers. And the unions are going to be next. The unions are going to get hit hard by this. They come in illegally, they take everybody's jobs, and you don't know who you're hiring. Lots of good points there. You know, whether or not we'll see leaked information in regards to how many black and Hispanic jobs have been lost during the course of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's four years in office, especially with the replacement of illegals who have scooted up a lot of American jobs in general. They've been forced to change the official job reports and then include non-citizens who are getting these American jobs over the course of the past six, seven months. And it's really, I think, and while in my opinion helped out Donald Trump on the campaign trail, spread the message of him being the jobs president and being the change president as we're going to stop catering and harboring illegals on day one and we're going to be rounding them up and sending them back expeditiously in as fast as possible. And, you know, when you just see the damage that Kamala Harris has done, it's unparalleled. I mean, just look at what's going on right now. You have this major offensive by Iran as Israel invades on a limited capacity Lebanon to take on Hezbollah. Going on in the Middle East, you obviously had Cookie Monster of Vladimir Zelensky who was here last week. He came in with empty pockets and left with nearly $10 billion in American taxpayer-funded aid and weaponry for his forever war out in Eastern Europe. We're hit with a major natural disaster in Hurricane Helene over the weekend. And then as you'll hear later in the show, Joe Biden is just, he's got nothing for the American people who are hurting right now. Everything that apparently he had ready to go is already out. And that's where he's going to kind of leave it. So it's really kind of put Congress on its ear. It's caused a ruckus in the mainstream media. You even have some of the most progressive outlets like MSDNC saying like, "When you look at this optically, I mean, it doesn't look good for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris." But those still photos of them on the phone, those refusing to take questions from the press, going and coming from Marine One, going and coming from Air Force Two, in the instance of Kamala Harris out on the campaign trail. And then Donald Trump physically going down to, let's just say, Valdasta Georgia yesterday with Kelly Lawfler and Mike Collins and the son of Billy Graham, Franklin was with him as well. It just shows at least, opinionatively, what real leadership should look like and for Americans that have high anxiety about some of these major instances going on around the globe, both here in regards to the hurricane and in the Middle East and Eastern Europe in regards to the wars. Some semblance of relief, that at least, number one, a high-ranking major political figure cares. And number two, that figure is offering like a different path than what we're literally and physically seeing with our own eyes every day on the TV, which I think is it's the biggest weapon that the campaigns don't even have to pay for that's working in Donald Trump's favor right now. And that's the optics one. You could say he's a threat to democracy. You could say he's shredding the Constitution. You could even say, as we'll hear later in the show, that he's going to conduct the purge when he becomes president in regards to all of the illegals who have been dumped into our communities across the country. But when you turn on the TV, you see a different story. You see a man who's bringing up on stage families of Biden, Harris, migrant crimes as victims. They're bringing up people who work in law enforcement, who in no context could do their job. These bringing up people and surrounding himself with former administration officials, which could celebrate huge victories, whether it be in trade, the economy, foreign policy, et cetera, to talk about how we need to get back to that stuff. And Americans are seeing, especially in a time of so many simultaneous crisis sees going on right now, what Donald Trump brings to the table and what he will do in a second term. Donald Trump would stick in the threat of the border going off of those newly released numbers from ICE and talk about Kamala Harris and the lack of job she's done as the borders are over the course of the last four years. Let's check it out. Starting on her first day in office, Kamala Harris terminated every Trump policy I used to deliver the strongest and most secure border in the history of our country. We never had a, Tom Holman said it, the best border. They interview people in the border that live in hell on the border. They say it was never like Trump had it. We had a great thing. And then as soon as she came in, it was, she ended up remaining in Mexico. That means you couldn't come into our country. She terminated it. You know what it means? Remain in Mexico. It's what it means. Release and canceled. Little things like the safe third agreement canceled. Title 42 halted the removal of virtually all criminal aliens. Ended all of our programs that we instituted to stop child trafficking, which is at an all time record now. She said last night that we, I told you, ripped babies out of the crib. I ripped babies out of the crib. She's sick and she's a liar. And the reason I keep mentioning McDonald's because it was so basic. She worked at McDonald's. And it was a lie. She's a liar. But Kamala, of all things, the worst thing is this. She lost 325,000 migrant children. And they're either dead being sold into sex slavery or just plain missing from their parents. They were stolen. 325,000. What Kamala Harris, can you imagine if that were a Republican? Can you imagine? What Kamala Harris has done to our border is a betrayal of every citizen. It's a betrayal of her oath. And it's a betrayal of the American nation. Not only must she be defeated, but in light of this news, Kamala Harris should immediately resign the vice presidency and go home to California and disgrace. Thank you, John. Listen, if they didn't hold Donald Trump to a similar or the same standard during his administration, to wherever they would manufacture a talking point, that was not true. Whether it was rush a gate, whether or not it was him trying to investigate the Biden family correction in Ukraine and the unlimited amount of money and resources, military aid that was going over there during his term, they just spontaneously came up with an impeachment every time stuff like that happened. Now again, the balance of power, seven seat majority in the house, the Senate is in Democrat control and someone that represents the Democrat party is currently, assume the Oval Office. So, getting any kind of accountability for anything, especially impeachment of the vice president of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors, especially when it comes to her job or lack thereof, on the U.S. southern border is more than a long shot. But you have to call it out. And I would even, as President Trump continues to hammer that point, maybe segue and say, I did things differently, I did things that were successful, and when the deep state and the Democrats and the swamp wanted to stymie the work that I was doing, they would create a false narrative in the media and they would spin that into an actual impeachment investigation. Why doesn't Kamala Harris have to live by the same standards? Well, I just kind of laid it out for you there, but he should be asking that question. And I think it's really important that he continues to go back to that, that she hasn't, she has been derelict in her duty and she should resign or face impeachment. However, 35 days from election day, probably not going to see that happening any time soon.

You can also check us out on social media, Twitter, Getter, TrueSocial, Instagram, and here's where we have accounts, find them, follow them, hit the notification bell. You'll never miss out on all the great stuff we've got going on down here at the show. Like when we're about to catch up with Roger Stone in just a few minutes. Come on, Harris, in addition to McDonald's, or not. Lies about a lot of stuff. She lies about her upbringing. She grew up in Montreal. She says she grew up in a middle-class neighborhood somewhere in California. She said her grandma was a consequential person in her life. Her grandma died when she was very young and didn't really have any impact on any context or component of her life as small Harris grew up without her. You name it, she spun it. I mean, it's even like something as petty as her response to finding out Joe Biden was exiting the presidential race. You know, she gave an exclusive interview shortly thereafter. And I'm not going to tell the whole story, but she had just, in some context, said, "Oh, yeah, I had just finished having a pancake breakfast with my family." We had some family visiting and we were spending some time together in our California home when we heard the news and then it began to process. Well, she did an interview this week where they asked her to like recount that time when she found out that Joe Biden was going to be exiting the race and she was going to be vaulted into the candidacy for the Democrats. And she gave like this whole other story, like my family was sleeping. I was spending some time by myself reflecting on the tasks in hand. When I found out the information that Joe Biden was exiting the race, I experienced like what some might consider a mini anxiety attack and I directly took off to the grocery store to buy like a pork butt so I can begin marinating it to feed my family with later in the day. And it's like the New York Post put that article alongside the other interview she gave right when she was vaulted into the candidacy for the Democrat presidential nominee. And it's like, dude, you can't even wait like three months before you try to spend the same fucking lie. It's like, how ignorant and low IQ do you take the American electorate to be? So it's even simple things like that to where, you know, I guess whatever the PR managers for the Harris team are dealing is what she's kind of operating. I don't even know because she never tells the truth or doesn't have any kind of solid like inspiring story to come up online. Maybe she doesn't even remember what she says half the time because none of it is organic and none of it's true. Donald Trump is going to continue to point out the fact that she is a compulsive liar. He's caught her a bunch of times. I'll talk about another instance right after the clip. These countries are so dangerous that the U.S. State Department has traveled advisories. Warning Americans are not to go there yet. Kamala is resettling all of those people here. Anybody that wants to come. So we have travel warnings. Don't go here. Don't go there. Don't go to the various countries. And yet she's taken in the worst of those people. The killers, the jailbirds, all of the worst of the people she's taken him in. And then I have to sit there and listen to her bullshit last night. And who puts it on Fox News? And they shouldn't be allowed to put it on. It's all lies. It's all lies. Everything she said is a lie. But it all stops the moment I raise my hand and take the oath of office as your 47th president of the United States. So it all stops. Wild, wild to see the way that, you know, he can handle it. And listen, Kamala Harris could probably do a lot of things, but she can't try to hold Donald Trump accountable out on the campaign trail in regards to the difference between what her and Joe Biden have done on the U.S. Southern border and the job that he did during his administration. He would segue from that talking point and through the spontaneous Trump chant into talking about, well, why is everybody, including those in the media, forgetting that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have been in power for the last four years. So if they have all these plans and solutions on world peace, domestic economy, safety and security in our streets in the U.S. Southern border, why the hell haven't they implemented it? Yeah, let's hear it. What Kamala did not talk about in her lies last night, just lied. Everything was a lie. And I would say, why didn't she do it? You know, she's been here almost four years. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that reading off a teleprompter. Isn't it nice to have a president that doesn't need a teleprompter? I don't know. But I keep asking, I said it in the debate. I said, so why don't you do it? Why don't you just do it? We're going to do this. We're going to, she's been there for almost four years. I didn't do anything except destroy our country. And you know, his disdain with Fox News and those in the mainstream media, some of the pointed commentary he was issuing right there in the prior clip was that at, you know, they have, I believe it's the five. It's when they have these commentators come in there and, you know, sometimes they have Gerald Ford Jr. Sometimes they used to have Juan Williams. Sometimes they'll bring in a more partisan Democrat correspondent. One of the other guests who frequents that show is that low IQ moron just guitar off. And she had some nasty things to say about Donald Trump the other day, especially in the face of some of the issues that are very important to voters in the upcoming election. So he had had some very pointed commentary at her. And at Fox News, the network over the weekend saying like, dude, first of all, we're like 30 some odd days before the election. Why are you bringing on these people to counter the narratives of those, of the ideology that you say your network's supposed to be propriety, which is that of conservatives? He's like, in addition, every time these talking points in and you go to a commercial, why are you letting paid ads by the Democrats, especially the Kamala Harris for president packs, buy up airtime in regards to the commercials? He's like, this doesn't make any sense. He's like, tell them to fuck off. And, you know, he's just kind of had it with all the mainstream media, but his ever continuing frustration outside of the few friends. I mean, you always credit to Mark Levine. Obviously, Boomer Sweats, Sean Hannity, the Botox Queen, Laura Ingraham, are some of the ones that he remains close with. He seems to be a big fan of Jesse Waters, the guy who they've kind of slotted in there as a replace, at least in physical form. Tucker Carlson, as one of the correspondence there as well. But, you know, it's those things that when you're talking about the media, Donald Trump knows he can give a speech for 120 minutes like he did here in prior to Sheen, Wisconsin, and he will say 30 seconds that will get spun uncontrollably for the rest of the entire weekend. It sure did when he referenced the mental capacity of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Let's hear it. Kamala is mentally impaired. If a Republican did what she did... If a Republican did what she did, that Republican would be impeached and removed from office, and rightfully so, for high crimes and misdemeanors. That would be high crimes and misdemeanors. Think of it, 13,099 murderers, convicted of murder, not like convicted of murder. Some of the worst murders you've ever seen. They're all in our country now, every one of them. And I've been saying this for three years, and the fake news has been saying, "Well, you don't know that. Well, now we know it." They've never released a list like this. Not just on this, they've never done it. Over the years, they've never done it. She let in, and that's not even mentioning the rapists, the gang members, the drug dealers, the child predators, and the traffickers in women, in women, mostly women. Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way. She was born that way. [cheering] And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to a... So he called her a functioning retard. The current sitting vice president of the United States, Donald Trump, just accused her of being a functional retarded person. And listen, it goes back into economy in the border. That's what he's harping on. Places like pre-air to Sheen have been ravaged by migrants getting dumped in there via Biden flights, the Harris flights, the CBP-1 app, and the manipulation of that, et cetera. He's going to continue to lay it out. If you've got to stoke fear into the constituents and the electorate to get them out to the ballot box because you know, in some instances, things that have happened to Rachel Moran or Jocelyn Nungary will continue to happen across the country. Oh, he's going to continue to point that out and stoke fear into the people that are going to be going and voting on her before November 5th. Let's hear it. Kamala is reelected your town and every town just like it all across Wisconsin and all across our country, the heartland, the coast. It doesn't matter. We'll be transformed into a third world hellhole. That's what's going to happen 100%. Remember, there's a hat that's made that sells like crazy. Oh, there's a fly. Oh, I wonder where the fly came from. See, two years ago, I wouldn't have had a fly up here. You're changing rapidly, but we can't take it any longer. We can't take it any longer. It takes centuries to build up the unique character of the United States of America. Centuries and centuries goes on forever. Good and bad. It all comes out and we ended up with a great country. But in three and a half years, they've really destroyed our country. They've really destroyed it. And we can fix it, but you know what? In four years, it's going to be too late. Just like we've seen in London and Paris and Minneapolis and Aurora and Colorado and Springfield, Ohio. Call them out. But I'll not let it happen here in Wisconsin. I'm not going to let it happen. You're not going to let it happen. You can't let it happen. And that's the most important part, you know. And that's what he was harping on big time. The manufacturing and agriculture and dairy industries, how they've been under attack by the Biden-Harris administration and the regulations and outsourcing of jobs and importation of third world trade. The whole point that he was trying to make about the fly is that the community has become shit, so now the flies are invading it. And I mean, that's some of the word judo that Donald Trump uses on the campaign trail to let the people understand that he sees it from more than just a campaign talking point. And the last clip I've got before we hit the closeout is one that I think you guys need to hear. And it's Donald Trump's literally talking about the fact that he had to change the venue due to lack of secret security protection and how it's frustrating him on the campaign trail. You know, you have to be able to understand that this is really going on. This is one of the clearest instances of election interference and the fact that he cannot do the job that he wants to do or that he feels he could adequately, you know, use as a part of his campaign promotion because of what's going on with the secret service and the fact that they've been refusing him critical components of security detail that will allow him to safely and securely be in some of these larger venues or maybe even outdoor ones that he wants to perform at. It's ridiculous. Let's check it out. Thousands and thousands of people and they all could have had a lot of fun. Instead now they're probably leaving and walking back home because we have a nice little room that probably holds 1,500, 2,000, maybe less. And outside you have 40,000, 50,000 people because the administration couldn't give us the secret service necessary because they're guarding the Iranian president who's looking to kill Trump. Can you believe it? And listen, he has to call them out because it's literally what's happening. You know, when these high-ranking state officials from Iran or other countries that come and visit for the U.S. General Assembly, those with deep ties to terrorist organizations and those entities who have made both overt and covert threats maybe even have already to this point enacted on some of them on Donald Trump and his family's life. To think that he would be refused secret service protection to perform his campaign rallies at a larger venue so that those people can be escorted in and around New York City so they can shop for cars or buy their wives jewelry at Tiffany. It's just mind-blowing especially with the fact that we're 35 days till election day. Last clip I've got before we jump in with Roger Stone on this opening segment of the first of two big Tuesday editions of the State of Breakfast podcast. Let's pour some of the clothes out from Pierre Deschines, Wisconsin. Let's hear it. I mean, honestly, any place where there's honest voting has been powerful for us. When you look at California, which by the way, she destroyed San Francisco. She was the DA. Then she became the Attorney General of California. She destroyed California along with Gavin Newscombe. You know that, Gavin? Maybe you've heard of him. So I want to ask you to go and vote and really go vote to save America. I believe this is the most important election in the history of our country. Final battle. With your support, we will get the border shut. We will send the illegals back. We will repel the invasion immediately. It won't take long. We'll defend our territory, reclaim our sovereignty. We've lost our sovereignty and restore the allegiance of our government to the people of this country. Together, we will make America powerful again. Make America wealthy again. Make America healthy again. Make America strong again. Make America proud again. Make America safe again. And we will make America great again. We are going to make it greater than ever before. So Wisconsin, get out and vote. God bless you all. I'll be back. I'll see you soon. Thank you. Get out and vote. Save our country. Save our country. So thousands of guests less than Donald Trump would have liked to have. But again, he pointed out why the reason was for that. Noah's given him a 10 out of 10. So it doesn't matter. He's been with 9.75 for the... sizeably less than preferred campaign event in pre-air. Dushin, Wisconsin. He would be heading back there soon, I believe, next week. He'll be on the road and back out in the cheesehead state. And we're going to leave it at that as we get ready to jump in with the iconic. One and only Roger Stone, but before we do, a first check-in with one of our partners. This episode of the podcast is brought to you, as always, by Manrubs. Rubs, barbecue tools, blow torches, t-shirts, coffee cups, and all-around barbecue-related gear for you to make barbecue great again. Can be found at manrubs.com at an Instagram, Manrubs. Music goes steak 15% to 15% off your order. All right, joining us first on the show today is a big Tuesday edition of the State for Breakfast podcast. He's a New York Times best-selling author. He's also the host of The Stone Zone. And the Roger Stone show on WABCRadio.com. Every week, he's a once-in-a-lifetime political icon. Probably the best-dressed man in America first. By far, he's the total package. Mr. Roger Stone, welcome back to the show. Great to be back with you. Where's the steak? Oh, man. Well, we're hitting it up a little bit later than for breakfast, but you can enjoy steak for breakfast at any time of the day as we often promote here on the show. But we have a ton of stuff to talk about, which is kind of like the meat and potatoes of the conversation, so we could jump right into that if you're ready. Let's do it. Tonight, we have the VP debate. We know the VP does not determine who the president of the United States is, but Donald Trump picked a beyond solid candidate in JD Vance. I mean, when you look at Tim Walts, how weird he's been out on the campaign trail, the things that have been allowed to happen under his watch in the state of Minnesota over the last several years, obviously facilitated the summer of love, put tampon dispensers in boys bathrooms and middle and high schools. You know, he's just been a champion of the LBGT community in the most radical sense of the form, and has helped, you know, basically destabilize the economy and the education system in Minnesota. So a total package of him, but up against JD Vance, who was heading shoulders above all of the other candidates who ran in 2022 when it came to the debate stage. We gave him the highest grade out of anyone that was running for any office at the federal level and those who were going for the governorship as well. But how do you see this debate shaking up? How do you think Jay Vance is going to be able to counter not only Tim Walts, but the, you know, softball questions that the narratives are going to use to defend him? Well, first of all, you already see a Tim Walts' handlers trying to lower expectations by leaking stories that he's nervous, that he's worried about his performance. These are purposely meant to lower the expectations for him so that he can exceed them. In JD Vance, I think you have a guy who's extremely disciplined, extremely smart, extremely quick on his feet, very capable, and I think he will be ultra prepared. Walts, of course, is a wild card because he's so very, sorry, expression weird because he denied that's weird. And the other key point here is that you have someone who did serve their country in uniform and did not lie about it, up against a guy who lied about being in combat and even lied about his rank. That's certain to come up, but it's unclear what context. You couldn't have a better day and night comparison. Normally, I would say, traditionally, historically, vice presidential debates have not mattered when they've been held. But this one really could matter because I think it really could expose Walts' record as a politically correct governor. And then, of course, there's 30-plus trips to China, not to mention his working in a Chinese Communist Party-funded university. All of those things certainly come up as well. Roger, we've had this issue with Donald Trump, and we know he's a very close personal friend of yours outside of politics. Obviously, it happened in Butler, Pennsylvania a couple months ago than the other assassination attempt down in West Palm Beach more recently. We've seen Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, all grandstand that we should have more secret service protection for people like Donald Trump, a former president who's again a candidate running for the same office. However, we've seen almost a direct opposite, even as recently as this weekend, where Donald Trump had to move the venue for a Wisconsin rally. And JD Vance was denied access to a restaurant there due to issues with the secret service, the ability to be able to safely secure the areas or to what they feel is to have manpower on the ground. Now, when you see Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz campaigning either ahead or behind of Donald Trump and JD Vance and nearly the exact same places for several instances and having adequate detail there, it seems like this is no longer the secret service is not able to do their job. It seems like, as alluded to by Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany last week, that there might be a real narrative inside the DOJ, inside the FBI, maybe even the Biden Harris White House, that they don't want Donald Trump to look presidential, so they're never going to give him enough detail to do so. What do you think? Well, as you know, I wrote a book in 2013 called The Man Who Killed Kennedy the Case Against LBJ. And in that book, I documented the fact that without any question whatsoever, the secret service stood down on John Kennedy in Dallas the day he was assassinated. And now you fast forward to the bipartisan U.S. Senate preliminary report from the Homeland Security Committee that was released last weekend. It is absolutely shocking when you learn that there was no drone surveillance, no drone examination of the entire area because the secret service couldn't figure out how to use their own technology. The secret service agent actually in charge of this was on the phone with the 800 toll-free customer service line with the company that made the technology, yet the local police offered three times to conduct the drone surveillance, and they were turned down by the secret service. I choose that as one of many, many examples, the secret service knew that there was a man with a gun who'd been seen using a rangefinder for at least 27 minutes, I think longer, but they were never, they never informed President Trump or his detail. President Trump was not evacuated, which had he been that might have saved the life of Corey comparator, the valiant firefighter who died by taking one in the head, protecting his wife and his daughter. By the way, you can find thousands of people online who say, there was never any attack on Trump. This was all a scyop. It was all staged. It's not real. I think, didn't people sue Alex Jones for disagreeing on his interpretation what happened to Sandy Hook? I would think those people would be liable to lawsuit. But anyway, I'm getting distracted. One here is that the President is completely now in the hands of the secret service. We're now moving to a whole different level with reports that there may be as many as nine ground-to-service missiles that were smuggled across the New Mexico border into the country with the idea of using those to shoot down the President's plane. This is interesting because Robin Bullock, a very prominent Christian prophet, who's a friend of mine, told me weeks ago that there would be an attack on the President's plane. I asked him how he knew that. He said, God showed it to me. Well, previously he called me and told me there would be an attempt on the President's life, but it would only graze his ear. I passed that on to the appropriate party. He turned out to be right at least once. I think he did actually say there would be a second attempt. There was. Now he sees an airplane. This is deeply, deeply disturbing to me. It's obviously not evidence, but I think for a warning of great import. So, look, the most important thing here is to pray for the safety of President Trump. If President Trump remains alive through the election, I think he is on a trajectory to win. I know that his staff is taking every possible precaution, but you are largely in the hands of a secret service, which is at worst, or I say at best, incompetent. At worst, actually wishes you ill will. Why Jill Biden needs more protection than Donald Trump? I don't really know. You know, and to see, listen, for example, we had Dr. Ben Carson on Tuesday. He talked about his candidacy, and it was a short one on the 2016 presidential campaign trail. He said the secret service detail that he had around him then was more adequate than what he sees when he's with President Trump. Including advanced teams that would go in, sometimes days before he would go to a speaking event and make sure everything is safe and sound. He says he's not seeing any of that with President Trump. Someone as close as Dr. Ben Carson yourself with President Trump. I mean, you've seen him talk about it out at the rallies and on the campaign trails get a little emotional. We had some insight on what it was like in the home with Melania Trump and the rollout of her new book coming into the political arena ahead of this election and talking with some, you know, interviewers about what it was like the day that the Butler incident happened and then to find out that it happened again so close to their home. How does the president just get up every day and go out there? I mean, he was down in Georgia yesterday passing out relief aid and out there with Franklin Graham, you know, for the people who have been essentially ignored up to this point by Joe Biden and Kamal Harris. It just seems amazing what this man is able to do on almost a daily basis. Look, he's a man of steel. There's no question about it. I worked for Richard Nixon. He's a very tough guy. I worked for Senator Bob Cole, also a very tough guy, would have been a great president, by the way. I worked for both of them, both very tough guys, but neither one is remotely as tough as Donald Trump. He has this amazing ability to compartmentalize things. He always looks on the bright side. He's like Reagan very much an optimist, very upbeat, very positive, and he never shows fear. I've never seen fear in him ever, not even once, whether it was when, because of a crashing economy, his own financial empire was crashing around him, not because of him, but because of the overall economy in the country. Or whether it was in the throes of the impeachment trials, which were, of course, mockery now in the face of not one, but two assassination attempts. He's an incredibly courageous, brave person that doesn't mean he doesn't need our prayers. He needs our prayers. But I don't know, I feel, I really feel he has the protection of the armor of God. I really do. And I think that's why he's so serene, why he's so confident. I think he feels it as well. No, that's an excellent point there. And then when you look at the other side of the coin, I mean, listen, we had Kamal Harris's, I guess you can call it an economic package rolled out last week. People were still trying to decipher and translate what the language means and what it means for the American economy and the global economy abroad. She went down to the border, obviously a photo op. There wasn't a person there who actually worked on the border. All the people that were shuffling her around were presidentially appointed or ones that were part of the administrative state. And then her refusal almost outside of talking during a fundraising event to weigh in on the natural disaster in places like Florida, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Georgia after Hurricane Helene came last week. The American people are waking up, Roger, you have to agree to this. Do you think it's going to be enough to will Donald Trump to a big victory on November 5th? Well, a big victory. I mean, that's a subjective question. I know I actually think this election is going to be very, very close and hard fought for a couple of reasons. First of all, you still have the dominant but not monopolistic mainstream media. They had a monopoly. They lost it. They now still have a huge voice in America and they continue to distort the truth. You can see the people in ABC and NBC insisting that Kamala was never put in charge of the border. Oh, she was never named the border czar. Well, it's true that you guys came up with that title, but Joe Biden came up with the responsibilities. Now they want to erase that. That's just one example of the ongoing distortion that we say. Then you have the problem of censorship and cancellation. Sure, X is a much better place, formerly known as Twitter. But let's not pretend that Facebook and an Instagram and other popular social media platforms are not heavily shadow banned and censored. And that censorship continues to be a problem. And then you have the fact that many that much of the actual voting tabulation and counting machineries in the hands of Democrats who showed us in 2020, they're prepared to cheat. By saying that I become a giant target for even more cancellation, but the truth is the truth. Otherwise, this election would not be close. Donald Trump has a solid record to run on the most robust economy in our history. Record job growth, record wage growth, the lowest level of unemployment among black Americans, Hispanic Americans, old Americans, young Americans, urban, rural, Asian, all Americans, billions of dollars coming back into this country to be invested here and create jobs and opportunities here, due to some of the tax changes that he pushed through, rebuilding our military strength, the pointing scores of conservatives to the courts, but most importantly, a verting war. You had no new endless, expensive foreign wars begun during the Trump years. So that's a solid record. And now in the face of that Kamala Harris has to reinvent herself. Now she's a border hawk, which is laughable. Now suddenly she wants to cut the attacks on tips to do away with that. I wonder where she came up with that. Great idea. She's trying to erase her past as a San Francisco Democrat. We all know what that means. I don't think it's going to work, but she's aided and abetted by the mainstream media in this effort. And that's why this election is going to be close. So nobody out there should say, Oh, Trump's going to win easily. This is going to be a landslide. It's going to be comfortable. No, it's going to be very, very close. And every single vote counts, every single votes counts. If you are a Trump supporter and their members of your family or your circle of friends who are not registered, then you better get them registered. And if they weren't planning on voting, because they think it's in the bag, well, you need to straighten them out about that. Nothing is in the bag. I do think the president's going to win, but it's going to take the help of every single patriot out there. No, that's an excellent point. We've been talking about on the show for months now, how a singular vote by a Trump supporter isn't enough to selection, not like we need multiple votes from the same supporters, but we need them to get their community, their family members, their friends and coworkers all activated, get involved in the right, you know, areas of the election, whether it's chasing ballots, whether it's working on election day, and or just getting people back and forth to the polls, anything helps. And we do have to make it too big to rig as President Trump has alluded to out on the campaign trail. Roger, last thing I want to talk to you is kind of a developing story still. I think you have a really good take on this and I want you to kind of unpack it for our listenership. Recently, New York Mayor Eric Adams ran into a little bit of the weaponized government and the justice system. Listen, we have no idea where this is going. However, this over a decade long investigation shows some corruption that he's brought to the governor's mansion that we haven't seen in a number of years. You know, for someone who has such a deep ties to the Big Apple and the Empire State, we kind of want to get your opinion on this, where it might be going. And why is it coming up now so close to the presidential election, maybe? Well, let me say a couple things. First of all, those out there, I saw Kat Timp the other day on Gutfeld. She made a joke saying that Eric Adams essentially was charged just because he got some free upgrades and maybe a few free drinks on his airline tickets with Turkish Airlines. And fortunately, that's not true. Let's be very clear. He accepted over $10 million of illegal foreign campaign contributions from Turkey. That is a crime. Then he using straw donors, he submitted them to the New York City's campaign finance matching program, which matches the first $250, I believe, maybe more now, of every contribution on a 10 to one ratio. So he broke both federal and state law. That is $10 million. That's not a small crime. That's a big crime. At the same time, his police commissioner's brother was running an extortion racket so that nightclubs and restaurants could pay off the commissioner's brother to make sure that the police or code enforcement didn't hold the establishment to the proper standards so that they could skate. By the way, I should add that in return for the 10 million, it is alleged that Eric Adams got an occupancy permit for a skyscraper owned by the Turks that was not up the code in terms of fire protection. So it was a quid pro quo. It's $10 million quid pro quo. So this idea that he is that he is being targeted because he opposed Joe Biden's open borders policies entirely false. He ran for mayor as an advocate of New York City being a sanctuary city. Correct. His criticism of Biden was that the federal government didn't give him the money to deal with the migrant crisis that they created. So when he said this will be a disaster for the city, he was speaking of the city's finances. At no time did he oppose the Biden era, so I should say Harris Biden open borders policy. So that's a misnomer. Many conservatives seem to think that he's been targeted by the Biden administration because he was critical of them. This is a 10 year running investigation in which I'm told before it's over over 300 people are likely to be indicted. I've already had his police commissioner forced to step down. His fire commissioner forced to step down. His school chancellor forced to step down. This goes very, very deep. As we Italians say, I fish rots from the head, and this fish is indeed pretty rotten. Yeah, it sounds like it. It's going to be interesting to see how this all begins to unfold. Obviously, we're going to be here for it and have you along the way back on the show as many times as we can to give us some insight into just what's exactly going on and the big apple in regarding it's it seemed to be corrupt mayor at this point. Roger, this has been great catching up with you today. Getting our interviews kicked off on a big Tuesday edition of steak for breakfast. We've got everything live link. That's always in the show description links to your rumble channel, your weekend show on WABC radio. Obviously your sub stack. But if people want to find you on social media, God forbid there's somebody who listens to this show and doesn't follow you yet. Where can they find you? They can go to X for me known as Twitter, where I'm verified as Roger J. Stone Jr. Roger J. Stone J. R. They can go to True Social where I'm real Roger Stone. Of course, they can go to stonezone.com. Subscribe. It's absolutely free. And you'll find up everything Roger Stone. But many, many thanks. Great to be back with you. But next time I want the steak. And we'll be bringing it with the once in a lifetime political icon who absolutely brought the fire and fury today on the show. Mr. Roger Stone, thanks for joining us. Sir, have a great rest of your week. Great to be with you. Do you think it's a crisis what's happening at the border? Well, I think it could be fixed. I think crisis is, you know, we certainly have these. I don't want people living outside Minnesota right now. I think there's the humanity piece of this. And then there's a right that every sovereign nation has the right to control borders as we should. More could be done, but they're doing nothing. Congress is doing nothing. The president is asking for more aid for border patrol, not getting it. But do you think the border's secure? I think the border with the folks who do the work down there doing a great job. Could we do better? Absolutely. All right. Jump back into the news portion of the show here. Second news segment in our first edition of Too Big Tuesday. Podcast here on Steak for Breakfast. And that was the Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walsh. Not answering questions on whether or not he thinks there's currently a crisis down in the U.S. southern border. We're going to be in our coverage, unfortunately, of Kamala Harris's visit down there out to Arizona last Friday. And she delivered remarks to a border that had been extensively cleaned as a lot of independent journalists and mainstream media news outlets have shown for years now the lines of people coming in under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris extended miles and the amount of trash and debris that had been left there by said migrants piled nearly to the sky. All the people that are in the rank and file of the border patrol and those components who are providing whatever security they can down on the U.S. southern border were also ushered away and Presidentially appointed senior managers were those who were giving guided tours to Kamala Harris as she stood and marveled at the large, beautiful border wall that Donald Trump built during his tenure as president. We're going to jump right into some of the remarks she delivered. You know, again, a bunch of word salad, blaming MAGA Republicans, blaming the U.S. Congress, which had passed its own independent border security bill, as we've heard so many times from so many representatives who have come on the show, HR 2. Now, almost a year and a half ago, which Chuck Schumer, the Democrat Senate majority leader, immediately tabled and never even put up for a vote so we could get receipts. However, the border amnesty plan that was cooked up by people like James Langford and Senate Democrats, obviously Chuck Schumer in the Biden Harris White House, would have done so many things that you've heard also outlined on the show here that Donald Trump hits on while on the campaign trail. At the very minimum, 2 million people would be allowed to come into this country every year. Every single person that comes in would have a pathway to citizenship. It did nothing to codify or end the Biden Harris flights. It did nothing to account for walkaways and getaways. It did nothing to address the issue of deporting anyone as well. So here's Kamala Harris, starting her remarks, which she spoke, listen, she maybe did like a 35 to 40 minute guided tour along the border fence. She then, you know, went to one of the stations that the border patrol is housed in close to the US Southern border down in Arizona and delivered remarks for about 30. And then she was on a plane out to Las Vegas where she had some high end fundraisers that she would be delivering remarks at over the weekend as well. So here's her talking about a choice. That has nothing to do with deportations and everything to do with moving towards amnesty for leaders. Let's check it out. I reject the false choice. I reject the false choice that suggests we must either choose between securing our border or creating a system of immigration that is safe, orderly and humane. We can, and we must do both. We must do both. And we need clear legal pathways for people seeking to come into our country. And we must make our current system work better. For example, it can take years for asylum claims to be decided. Well, this is a problem we can solve, including by hiring more asylum officers and expanding processing centers in people's home countries. And as president, I will work with Congress to create, at long last, a pathway to citizenship for hardworking immigrants who have been here for years and deserve to have a system that works. I also have in mind our dreamers. I have met. I already deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. With so many of our dreamers throughout my career, they who have grown up in the United States, were educated here, pay taxes here, serve in our military and contribute to our communities every day. They are American in every way. But still, they do not have an earned pathway to citizenship. And this problem has gone unsolved at this point now for decades. The same goes for farm workers who ensure that we have food on our tables and who sustain our agricultural industry. And they too have been an illegal limbo for years because politicians have refused to come together to fix our broken immigration system. Well, as president, I will put politics aside to fix our immigration system and find solutions, solutions to problems which have persisted for far too long. For far too long, we have all known. This is not working as it can and as it should. An absolute disaster. She blames partisan politics. Most of stuff that's her as a sitting senator voted against over the years. And then you talk about the amount of people who are here and how she wants amnesty for them. The only reason we're a large contributing factor as to why the asylum claims are all backed up now is because they've let damn over 20 million people come in here over the last four years, many of which are now applying for asylum at immigration services offices across the country. And then said she will put politics aside after essentially weaponizing the beginning of her speech against Republicans and former presidents to say that she will do whatever it needs to take to get the situation under control again. Border security is something that you can executively order in. The other things that she's talking about pathways for dreamers amnesty for illegals, making these people part of the social security and Medicare system. These are all things that have to go through Congress. These are all things that if she tried to executive order, they would either one get shot down by the US Supreme Court to initiate an impeachment investigation into things ruled unconstitutional or three both. So again, a lot of words out, a lot of trying to sound like she's ahead of the problem, even though she's been one of the largest, if not the largest contributing factor to it, at least over the course of the last three plus years. And I mean, if you're just solely asking for my opinion. Shut up, bitch. What else could you say to that? I mean, it's the God's honest truth. She is getting given talking points on things she has no clue about what she's talking about. She can't go off prompter. She can't allude to specific situations, where let's just say legislation has failed. She can't call out people except, you know, blobby them all together, like MAGA Republicans in Congress, or talking directly about Donald Trump. And that's kind of where this speech, when she talked about the Langford, Schumer, Mayorkas, Biden, Harris, Amnesty Act, and I wanted to play a piece of that for you guys right now. Let's check it out. And why last December I helped raise the rate of overtime pay for border agents, and also why I strongly supported the comprehensive border security bill. I wonder how much force overtime they had to work due to the crisis that she initiated. By a bipartisan group of senators, including one of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, that bill would have hired 1,500 more border agents. And officers. It would have paid for 100 inspection machines to detect fentanyl that is killing tens of thousands of Americans every year. That machine does not exist. It would have allowed us to more quickly and effectively remove those who come here illegally, and it would have increased the number of immigration judges and asylum officers. It was the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades. It was endorsed by the Border Patrol Union. And it should be in effect today, producing results in real time right now for our country. But Donald Trump tanked it. He picked up the phone and called some friends in Congress and said stop the bill. Because you see, he prefers to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. And the American people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing political games and their personal political future. And so even though Donald Trump tried to sabotage the border security bill, it is my pledge to you that as president of the United States, I will bring it back up and proudly sign it into law. So there you have it. So she's nearly all but confirmed that we have amnesty on deck if she's able to win the election on November 5th. And if you don't think, you know, we've set it for years since the fallout of the 2020 presidential election and in the last four years of coverage that we've provided for you here on State for Breakfast. You know, it was going to be something that Joe Biden tried wholeheartedly to do as his deep state handlers would want it done, replacing an entire elector. And that's the poor people in this country with the legal who they assume would vote for Democrats. But it's the chain migration and things afterwards. You know, if you offer, let's just say only to people who came in over the last couple years and not the who knows up to 30 million who are already in this country illegally. Just the 20 million that came in from 2020 to now, a pathway to citizenship. Well, and anywhere between four to six years, they're all citizens and in half that time, once they get their green cards, they're able to petition for five, six, seven, maybe 10 or more family members, each individual case from around the world. So not only are we giving pathways to citizenship and legal permanent residency to people from Venezuela, Salvador, Congo, and the Middle East, we're now allowing to bring in their non assimilating, never lived in a normal system. Never even might have had running water flushing toilets where they come from. The ability to come into the United States immediately have a pathway to a green card. And within a decade, you've got 50 million potential new voters here in the United States. It's something that would, you know, replace an eighth of the current electorate and probably swing elections in the Democrats way for the rest of the time that this republic could survive, which wouldn't be very long. So we need to take that into consideration as, again, mass amnesty is the plan that they're going with. That is their border security bill decriminalize illegal crossings. Make it seem like they're in control and replace up to an eighth of the entire US electorate with the illegals that are already here and the chain migration that they would cause a tear. And as president, I will work with Congress to create, at long last, a pathway to citizenship for hardworking immigrants who have been here for years. For years. And deserve to have a system that works. The system doesn't work for anybody, except the Democrats who are trying to replace an electorate. And that's the end of it. They don't give fucks one about any of these people that come in. As matter of fact, the Democrats are, for the most part, disgusted by these people. They just know a long term plan, like has worked in places like Germany, France and the UK could be a model we set up here in the United States. In some fashion, put them in places where they can affect elections to keep the House of Representatives and Democrat control, maintain the Senate as controlled by Democrats as well. And then when you come to the national elections, when you're putting them in places like Wisconsin and Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina. Why have to worry about those anywhere between 10 and 100,000 votes and swing states and districts that decide presidential elections when you're overwhelming these communities with the legal's who eventually will have voting power. So that's the gist of what she had to say about the US Southern border while she was down there for, I'd say, 90 minutes total. And again, took no questions from the press after speaking, took no questions on the press to and from the tarmac, getting on and off the plane. And, like I said, jet set off to Vegas, where in the wake of a major hurricane that was absolutely destroying major portions of the US Southeast Coast and Gulf, decided to go campaign in Las Vegas at a fundraiser, then address the issues at hand for the American people.

As we're going to be jumping in with Indiana Congresswoman, who's fresh off the hill and back in district, Aaron Houchin, in just a bit. So what did some of the commentary on Kamala Harris's visit down to the US Southern border look like? I think it's good that we can kind of analyze it from both sides of the mainstream media aisle. We'll start off in places like Fox News and hit it or out. That's like CNN and MSNBC before we're done with this segment. But you have to be able to see how they feel Americans are witnessing this campaign in real time, the non-answers that they're giving, the reluctance to sit down with anybody credible in the press to do interviews and things of that nature. And what does it mean as early voting ballots are already out in several crucial swing states and early voting periods are going to be beginning here in just a few days and several of the battlegrounds as well. Here's part of how Jesse Waters saw Kamala Harris's speech go down to the border. And let's see what he had to say about it. It's probably one of the more ridiculous speeches we've ever heard from any politician, and that includes Kamala Harris. She said she takes border security very seriously. That's a lie. She's been in power almost four years. She doesn't take it seriously at all. This is the first time she's ever been to the border. She says we must reform our immigration system. Well, the Democrats had the White House, the Congress and the Senate for the first years. They never touched it. They did green new deal stuff instead. She praised the Border Patrol. The Border Patrol hates Kamala Harris. They've endorsed Donald Trump. They've just called her a failure. This bipartisan bill she keeps clamoring about that she's going to sign now. That was just a ruse designed to fail by failed politicians in order to blame Trump for their inaction. Correct. It didn't do anything to secure the border. It didn't end catch and release and it didn't deport a single person. She says she's tough on cartels. How? Give me one example. How were you tough on cartels? The cartels have made more money over the last four years than they've ever made in the history of their organizations. She says she's tough on cartels and drugs as a G in California. Drug activity and gang activity in California under her leadership as a G exploded. She says she wants an orderly and secure process. Anybody who just read the last report that said she let a half a million criminals into the country knows that's not orderly and secure. Fentanyl went up every single year in the United States under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. She says she's going to get tough and cut a deal with China because they're exporting all of those precursor chemicals to the cartels that get to manufacture. Biden already claimed he got a deal with China. Last year, remember the big fentanyl deal? Never happened. Fentanyl kept coming. She said that her highest priority is to protect the lives of the American people. She never said Lake and Riley's name. All these people that have been victims of migrants. She's never even called them. So that's another lie. And at the end she ends up and says we're going to give illegal citizenship. Can't make it up and you heard her outline every single one of those details there. The things that she hasn't done again. Jeff Clark has pointed out Kamala Harris has never herself prosecuted a major case against any cartel or international transnational gang entity put any border baddie in prison for any amount of time. As her service to AG to the state of California is now becoming more clear to the American voter. In addition, Joe Biden claimed to have handled fentanyl and told China exactly what they need to do. Stop sending those precursor drugs to the cartels. Fentanyl deaths are at all times highs in this country and continue to spike, especially in those demographics, age 14 to 35, which is absolutely mind-bowing. And, you know, all the other stuff. It's word salad. Oh, yeah, we're going to do this for border patrol. Oh, yeah, immigration judge, that bullshit. The pathway to citizenship for all the illegals, it's replacing of the electorate of blacks and Hispanics in this country who are now leaning Republican after getting destroyed by Democrats. And, you know, this is the last gasps, the last breaths of what the American dream looks like, especially for the middle class. If we can't hold Kamala Harris and Joe Biden accountable on election day and have Donald Trump win back the Oval Office. So that was one of the takes from Fox News. And, you know, Scott Jennings would have something to say about it. The only conservative-ish commentator currently working at CNN. He jumped on for a panel discussion on the Anderson Cooper show with the other guests being Van Jones. Let's hear what he had to say about Kamala Harris's visit to Arizona. You know, love for me, Republicans for Kamala Harris today. In fact, I think the Trump campaign line today ought to be arsonist returns to scene of crime. I mean, look at the last three and a half years, we've got the border has effectively been opened. People flowing across ice today released information that there are 13,000 non-citizens convicted of homicide and almost 16,000 non-citizens convicted of some kind of sexual crime who are in the country right now. Only because we're in the shadow of an election is Kamala Harris trying to rush and pay some lip service to this issue as a tactical matter. Anderson, I don't think Harris should be trying to elevate this issue because this is the best ground from which Donald Trump has to fight. So, no, I think the Harris campaign is making a tactical mistake and I think they have very little to say that the American people are going to buy on this today. Anderson, it's worse than that. It's not that it took them too long. It's that they actively work to undo everything Donald Trump had done during his time in office. On the first day, they rescinded all of Donald Trump's border executive orders. The floodgates opened. All these people come rushing across. Then it becomes a political problem. And now at the end of the election, they want to blame it on Donald Trump. For her entire career, she has wanted a more permissive immigration structure. When she ran for president before, she wanted to decriminalize border crossings. In her heart, in her heart of hearts, she wants a more liberal, permissive immigration structure. And in his heart of hearts, Donald Trump wants to crack down on the border. That's why when you look at the CNN polling this week, Trump is far more trusted on immigration than Harris. That is not going to change because of this visit today or anything she says today, the die is cast on this issue. If I were her, I'd want to bury this issue, not make it more prominent. But hey, if she wants to have border events, I think Republicans will rejoice because it'll increase the prominence of this issue for the last month of the campaign. So again, artisanists returning to the scene of a crime. I think that's a great line and lead in for Kamala Harris in regards to how at least Scott Jennings felt about her trip down to the US Southern border. That's a bitch. Most certainly did. You know, and CNN has been, I don't want to even say they've been better. I mean, they did not terrible during the presidential debate. And then I think because they were slammed so hard by the people who were still managing and wrangling Joe Biden, that they've been a little bit more poignant in their commentary towards Kamala Harris's candidacy. But I mean, when you're even losing people like radical, crazy ass Martha Raditz, as I saw as part of the Sunday morning news circuit, it's probably going to raise a few alarms and have some of the people within her team concern. Let's check it out. And the border is his issue, right? The border, you can look at those statistics and yes, right now things are improving. But when you look and you compare those records, that is something Donald Trump can really drill down on. Oh, absolutely. They have been a nonstop. And that was the whole reason that Vice President Harris went out to the border this past week, because they felt that they needed the optics of her just walking around the border with border patrol to show that she's, she's paying attention to it. But also the fact that they need to now counter this message to show, yes, we recognize that this is a crisis and we are trying to address that. Trump, of course, calling her the borders are kind of attaching the crisis to her in particular, because President Biden empowered her to handle it, to take charge of it. And that is something that has been a major vulnerability for Democrats and continues to be, regardless of Vice President Harris's attempts to then get ahead of the message and show that Democrats can be tough on immigration walls. Still also adhering to the law. And there you have it. You know, you've got ABC this week in fake news talking about Kamala Harris's visit to the US Southern border. You've got Martha Raditz leading in with saying this is an issue that is dominated by President Trump. It's dominated because he has a long standing proven track record of success when dealing with the security on the US Southern border. And then the panelist guests from the Wall Street Journal said, you know, oh, yeah, the campaign, they have to show the American people at least optically. So they're admitting that it's a campaign stunt. And just by hearing her pre-prepared words, Kamala Harris doesn't know what the hell she's talking about, or what her policies would even be, except what those who would be handling her during her administration would be telling her to do. Jamie Pritzker, speaking of CNN, got taken for a ride this week by Jake Tapper when the conversation went down the path of discussing Kamala Harris's visit to Arizona in the US Southern border. Jamie Pritzker was kind of, you know, given all of the word, Saudi talking points, well, you know, Congress and well, you know, like, oh, we just can't separate families and all, you know, all this other stuff and Jake Tapper, believe it or not, fake news crying Jake Tapper wasn't having it. And took him for a ride as well. Let's check it out. All about Donald Trump and his election efforts. So that effort, the Langford bill, et cetera, that was in the last year. I mean, this has been a crisis that started in the first year of the Biden administration. And I know just from having covered it that the White House was rather dismissive of it and thought that this was just repeating right wing talking points, et cetera. Vice President Kamala Harris was in charge of going to the Central American countries addressing the root causes. But she's only been to the border before yesterday. She'd only been there once. It does seem as though the administration just in the last year has realized, oh, we need to really do something about this. But what about before? What about 2021, 2022, 2023? Well, as you know, I'm from Chicago, I'm from Illinois, we saw shut up, you fat slob. Again, he gave his versions answer of I grew up in a middle class family. And nobody wants to hear that, you know, and the years prior to this one where it seems like Democrats want to at least be in the conversation of border security, even though they've provided none throughout the entirety of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's tenure over the country. It's something that not even commentators, but I guess, and I owe it our two of journalistic integrity are going to let happen anymore. You know, do you really want to be the facets outside of like ABC and MSD NC because they're so far gone. But you know, CNN who has new ownership and is looking to go at least a little bit in a different direction. Do you want to be the reason that people go back and reflect on being lied to and a reason you might have voted one way? Now again, this falls, the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the people who are voting on November 5th or before because here's the deal. If you're only going off of media talking points, this show included as the basis which you make the entirety of your decision on who you're going to vote for. It's not very responsible. You know, you have to take everything from what we tell you here on the show and fact check that all the way up through the mainstream media. You know, and for the people that are in it for themselves or are looking to make a name, trying to get involved in ways that don't necessarily help or hurt the campaign, but things of that nature. Don't let one voice be the one that directs you to the ballot box on November 5th. You know better than that. We've told you better than that over the years and you really have to be able to make a decision for yourself and when you do so, be armed, I guess not only with the armor of God. But with the know how of exactly why you are making that decision, whether it be for Donald Trump or another candidate. Last clip I've got before we jump in with Congresswoman Aaron Houchin is a clip I pulled from Fox News's Gutfeld Friday night. It was during and briefly after Kamala Harris's visit down to the US Southern border and I think it was a fairly good comedic breakdown of what exactly was happened. Let's check it out. In the real world she would be toast. And I don't like getting riled up for no reason because this story is so unbelievable. I wanted to see if it was reported elsewhere. You know, it couldn't find it on MSNBC, CNN, Drudge. You have the release of hundreds of thousands of foreign criminals like they emptied the jails, raped thousands of rapists, thousands of murderers. And on the pages of all of these networks, the death of Maggie Smith, which is sad, great actress, Lana Del Rey's marriage. He did he rumors, but nothing about what is easily one of the most probably the biggest crime story I've ever seen. So we know that Democrats watch this show. Some of them hate watching. But if you're watching this, the media doesn't want you to know this information. They don't want it to reach you. They would rather you die or be raped than Trump be right or find out the truth. So you can hate Fox, all you want, you can hate Trump, all you want, you can hate me. But you can't hate yourself and your family so much that you're going to ignore a story that puts them in danger. Now, even if these numbers are off by 50%, please, I think that the fact checkers should fact check it. You know, tell us, no, it's not 16,000 rapists. It's only 8,000. It's only 7,000 murders. Cool, I'm glad you're okay with that. I'll take your fact check. But anybody who defends this or says it's not that big a deal is complicit and they should be held accountable. And we'll leave it at that. You know, that's a brutal talking point, but it's the truth and it goes into the threat of what we were just talking about here. And that's you have to be able to not just take the numbers, not just take the talking points, not just take the commentary and analysis from other people. Even the ones who, you know, with a higher than now and my IQ triples your, so you must listen to me, you shan't ignore me. And you have to be able to do some of this research for yourself. Check alternative outlets and get, use other avenues to get to a conclusion that you're comfortable with. It might not always be the correct one, but as long as you are vested in doing the research and tabulating what it is and where you're going to go, I think you'll be in a lot better place than just solely listening to commentary, analysis and opinion solely alone. So we're going to leave it at that as we're getting ready to jump in with the Indiana Congress. But before we do, we're going to do another check in with one of our partners. I think it's time we had a conversation about a good night's sleep. Pillow King of Minnesota, Mike Lindell, and the apparatus known as the MyPillow family has been cranking out savings down at MyPillow for over 20 years. And for the first time in 20 years, they've changed the long standing MyPillow and now have the MyPillow version 2.0. You get a promo code to take a check out, you're going to get buy one, get one free. In addition to that, they've got great savings on all things like MyPillow Dogbeds, the Air Lindell version 1 and 2 My Slippers and Giza Dream Everything. If you're more of a morning person, they've launched MyCoffee. It's available on the Bean, the Bag and the Pod. When you need a promo code stake here, you're going to get 25% off your order or 50% off when you make it a monthly subscription. MyPillow.com/stake for anything sleep-related. If you want the coffee, my store.com/stake or you can always talk to a qualified pillow representative 1-800-658-8045. Alright, joining us next on the show today is a big Tuesday edition of the Stake for Records podcast. She's the congresswoman who represents Indiana's 9th congressional district. Glad to catch up with representative Aaron Ouch and welcome back to the show. Hey, thanks for having me. Always a pleasure and we got a bunch of stuff to talk about including the end of what seemed to be a busy week last week. I mean, I'm sure your dissatisfaction level with another continuing resolution to keep the government open this time now through the mid or end of December wasn't really top of your chart. But there was some other great work going on. You guys are still looking into the investigation on both assassination tips in the President of Trump. Even though there's a lot of stonewalling coming from the federal agencies, but there was some committee work that showed from the locals, the big disconnect that a lot of people in the media have been catching up with Congress about. And then we had President Sklinski in town who, I mean, even in the face of the adversity that America saw last week with Hurricane Helene, still was able to walk out of Washington, D.C. with roughly $10 billion more dollars for the war that doesn't seem like there's any end to. I guess unless President Trump could win the election in November, just kind of starting how the weekended for you, Congresswoman, how are you seeing as you're heading back to district right now. Congressionally, we're looking at this and then obviously some commentary on the topics that I just touched for you. Yeah, hey, thanks for bringing up in particular the work on the investigation into the two assassination attempts now on President Trump at the end of last week. And early at the end of last week, we had the hearing with these local state police agencies and just some of those lapses that we saw, I filed a bill called the perimeter act, wanting to draw a specific attention to the fact that in both of these attempts, there were perimeter issues that we had, you know, the hearing identified 150 to 200 people who had access to what I would consider the soft perimeter. We had, they did have a fence around the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, but the perimeter was not well protected as we saw from the shooter getting that vantage point, but there were, it was more than the shooter. There were 150 to 200 people that were milling around outside that, that fence line that the investigation has uncovered. The perimeter act, it is asking for the President Trump, former presidents are major presidential nominees to have access to the same level of protection of the President of the United States. The hearing also identified that, you know, Jill Biden, and we want all of our, our high level officials and their families to be protected, Jill Biden has 12 officers assigned to her at the same time that Trump had at one point, only three. This is a very, very important issue. We have to protect the individuals who serve or seek to serve in our highest level of office. The presidency, it's not a partisan issue. It is a matter of national security, particularly when we know that Iran is determined to try to assassinate the President before election day. And, you know, really know that it's because there'll be a strong leader. You saw that in the meeting that he had with Zelensky this week, saying he will bring the war there to a very swift end when it will be fair. You know, people are growing weary and that's certainly something that I hear as I travel around the district, although I will say that that the war in Ukraine is not at the very top of the voters minds right now. It is the economy. It is inflation. It is certainly the catastrophe at the southern border still at the top of the list for concerns of our constituents. You know, let's stick in that thread and touch on a couple of those topics, Congresswoman. You know, the first one having to do with the Secret Service, the security detail for President Trump and even JD Vance lack thereof. We even saw it into the weekend. So, so leading up to this, we've had Joe Biden come out and say Donald Trump should have the same Secret Service. And then in two different instances over the course of the last couple of weeks, both Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland said that he would have the same Secret Service as, you know, President level or even Kamala Harris. Now, we still are running into some issues here. I mean, Donald Trump was forced to change a venue in Wisconsin that was brought up on the show last week by Tom Tiffany who joined us when your counterparts on the Republican side. And then we followed up with a letter that was produced by Josh Hawley wanting to know from the Secret Service. How could this even be? At the same part, we saw JD Vance try to go to a Pramani Brothers restaurant shop in Pennsylvania over the weekend and ran into the same kind of issues. A place where both Kamala Harris and Tim Walms were able to stop it. And I mean, obviously, you know, once you start unpacking everything, you see that your Democrat donors, they voted for act blue. The owner's wife is a huge stumber for the Democrat party. But the fact of the matter is we are not getting, you know, fair and equal abilities to campaign here. I mean, you know, going back and forth into a restaurant and things had happened, kind of on a whim, I could see where there might be. In some instances, a little confusion or concerns, maybe by the entities protecting these figures just because of the ability to secure it in a short amount of time. But when you're talking about, you know, we're 30 some odd days out from election day. Early voting has started in some of the swing and battleground states now. And Donald Trump has to, in the last moment, change of venue because they can't adequately protect it with secret service in federal detail. It has to raise some concerns to your office. I'm sure Congress says it is to all the American people. Absolutely, which is one of the reasons why we filed the perimeter act. And then, you know, we did pass legislation. Michael Haller and Richie Torres had a bill that passed on particular emphasis on the secret service and ensuring that they have the resources that they need and, and asking that he provided the same level of protection. The problem is the secret service agency, the Department of Homeland Security, they have wide latitude in what it means to provide adequate security to meet the threat. And I think that's where, you know, legislation must be a little bit more specific in this instance to say, which the perimeter act does, that, that the level of protection required to protect major presidential and vice presidents, presidential candidates, former presidents is the same level as the sitting president, including the security protocols, agents and equipment. The perimeter has been an issue. Personnel has been an issue. These secret service agents, I got to give them immense amount of credit, the secret service agents that are in the field for, for, you know, putting their lives on the line to protect former President Trump. But the bottom line is there should never be an opportunity for anyone to be in that close proximity, let alone get a shot off at the former president and a major presidential candidate, and we have to do more. You know, when you even heard, I mean, rep Tiffany said, you know, we had Congress been gates on the show as well, who spoke with a lot of whistleblowers within DHS and the secret service as well over the last couple weeks. At the end of the day, Congress may be able to reveal to the American people that the only reason that Donald Trump isn't getting more secret service protections because there are entities within the federal government who don't want the optics to look like he's presidential before the actual election happens. If that happens to be at least one of the components to the complicity that, you know, these agencies have been in not being able to adequately protect President Trump, but now into assassination attempts that we know of. How alarming should that be for the American people to see that, you know, kind of like the the pettiest level of politics is some of the things that are still going on and having a big effect in a presidential race. Oh, it should be extremely alarming, but it's, it's, it's part of the course with this administration. I mean, weaponizing the government, the Department of Justice, all of these agencies, the law fair that they've engaged in. Every single agency that that they, every single federal agency is the absolute disaster complete incompetence there, but it's either incompetence or it's deliberate. And in these instances, you know, it will be terrifying for the American people. If we discover that any of this is in some way has been deliberate. And it's looking like there are some, at least some decisions that were made that maybe you're right that they didn't want him to have the optics of looking presidential and advanced of the election. And that's terrifying. When the, the man must be fired for the protection and for his personal security, not what are the political optics for, you know, increasing or decreasing his chances of becoming the 47th president of the United States. And speaking of things that we'll be looking forward to after that, I mean, you guys are trying to get ahead of it in addition to investigating these assassination attempts. I mean, obviously, securing the border is something that, that in a lot of context, as you guys have been working on throughout the course, I mean, HR two had passed, there had been the SAVE Act tried, you guys tried to attach it to the last continuing resolution. I mean, these are things that, you know, just based off the way the Senate map looks right now, Speaker Johnson had done the best he could to get him through the house with votes. But I mean, Chuck Schumer was never going to hold it up in the same fashion that he never held a Senate hearing for the impeachment of Alejandro Mallorca. So it's kind of a two-way street that we know we can fix on the other end of the election. But talk about the no bail out for Sanctuary Cities Act, something that you worked on. And I know President Trump just talked about on the road to, you know, in his campaigns to run for reelection here that, you know, not only does he want to end Sanctuary Cities, but if there's places in like, let's just say Illinois is with JB Pritzker or even out in California, with Gavin Newsom, federal funding can get cut from these cities, almost to the point to where, you know, they're not going to be receiving any federally, if they don't want to reverse a lot of their Sanctuary City policies. Policies that are hurting Americans right now and numbers that we've never seen before. Yeah, so a lot to unpack there. I'll start with H.R. Two and the Thavat. One of the things that has been frustrating is we hear from Kamala Harris that, you know, it's Republicans and Donald Trump that stood in the way of this great, wonderful border bill that they put forward. And that border bill was an absolute codification of all of their failed border policies. And it was a non-starter. It wasn't because Donald Trump said he didn't like it. No Republican or any of the citizenry should support it when it codifies, allowing in the levels of mass immigration that they were allowing and are allowing under executive order now at the southern border because of the asylum claims, just letting anyone in here. And we saw the crime stats right on how many people are in the country that are convicted criminals, convicted murderers, convicted rapists that have been let in under the under the Harris under Harris's watches borders are. So we never hear about what Republicans have done. The mainstream media doesn't talk about how we passed H.R. Two and the Senate did not call it up and the President did not ask for it to be brought forward or the executive orders that Joe Biden signed on doing all of the work of Donald Trump. We hear gaslighting and outright lying about Trump's record at the border, somehow trying to vault, you know, Kamala Harris as this, you know, border protector when she's been the borders are over the worst crisis at the southern border that we've ever seen. So the Nobel out for Sanctuary Cities Act, we did get that out of the house last week. I don't believe that the Senate will take that up. In fact, I don't think Chuck Schumer is going to take up anything now prior to the election, but what we're saying is, is that, and he wrote, he's not even taking up things like the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act. He says we're not doing anything until after the election. So, okay, fine. That's not, it's not really what people sent him there to do. They sent him there to do his job and I would hope that he would, but we'll leave that to the voters to decide in November and I hope they'll pick Republicans in the Senate and switch the, switch the leadership. But the Nobel out for Sanctuary Cities, that was, you know, we have right now circumstances where US citizens are taking a back seat to those that are here illegally who are getting benefits and resources that our own citizens do not get. And not only that, but the Sanctuary Cities are havens for crime. And we ought to not have our federal tax dollars going to subsidize this issue. It's creating a light bulb effect, and drawing people into these communities, and it is hurting US citizens. It drives down wages. It adds, it's a public safety issue. It's a health care issue. It's, it's all of those things. And what we're saying with the Nobel out for Sanctuary Cities Act is we're not going to pay for it. We're not going to put that on the federal or federal taxpayers. We're not going to put it on our our citizenry to pay for this. At the expense of everyday Americans. Got it. And then when you see the, you know, items that kind of unfolded over the weekend, we had already mentioned presence when he's visit up to Capitol Hill. You know, we have seen some economists say that if you take all of the money that is being spent on the amount of illegal aliens that have come into this country, those here for decades in addition to the anywhere from eight to 21 million who might have come in over the last three or four years. You know, the American taxpayer could, according to some beyond the hook for half a trillion dollars a year in federal money going to these. Now, listen, there was a lot of things that happened over the weekend. We already touched on the hurricane. But just the optics of it. I mean, Kamala Harris, sensor thoughts and prayers from a large fundraiser out in Las Vegas. You've got Joe Biden, who was at the White House this morning. Congressman, I don't know if you heard yet, but his literal quote was, I do plan on visiting the disaster areas as soon as I can. But I have been told if I go now, it will be a distraction. That's literally what Joe Biden said this morning about going down. And now we have President Trump, who was going to be in Georgia yesterday on Monday out with the MAGA team distributing aid and getting relief to some of these families there. I mean, I know in the context of only a candidate right now. He can't flip switches and turn things on, but just the optics of what leadership looks like and how absent it's been with this Biden Harris White House. I mean, it's a stark contrast, but also should be eye opening and a confirmation of where their votes should be heading come November 5th. Don't you agree? Absolutely. And over the weekend, I kept asking, you know, I was thinking to my husband, I'm like, has anyone seen a disaster declaration from from the president? Yeah, usually that's done in advance of these these huge threats to the country in terms of our of these storms coming in. And they'll do it in advance. And to my knowledge, they didn't do it in advance. And now they finally, I think, issued a disaster declaration. But I've had disasters in the state of Indiana. We had a terrible tornado coming through. You know, Henry Bill in Indiana, you know, several years ago when I was working for our U.S. Senator Dan Coats and whether or not it's a distraction, I would say that the people that we visited with, the families that got hugs from Dan Coats and got visited from him during that time. It was meaningful to them that he showed up. It's meaningful when we show up, when we even if even if there's not much we can do to be there with those people and the fact that that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are not planning to do that anytime soon is really sad and it is not leadership. Same thing happened after the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. They did not want to go. So this is going to be the most important election of our lifetime. I know we hear that, but this is this is going to be extremely important. I hope that voters realize that, you know, with Donald Trump, they're not picking a personality. They're picking a strong leader who is going to address these issues facing the country, securing the border, bringing down inflation, peace through strength on the world stage, being a leader for American families and their time of need. Harris's policies are farther left than Bernie Sanders. She split flopped on every position that she's had. There's no reason to put her in a position of authority at the president. I hope that the electorate will choose in large numbers to to put President Trump back in the White House also extend and retain the House majority and flip that Senate back into Republican control.
