- Monkey, this is not nom, this is bowling, they're a rule. - Today, Junior, America! (crowd cheering) - Steak. - Full of bassists! - So stand by! - All right, everybody, welcome back to the State of Breakfast podcast. I'm Roan, I've got Noah here with me. He stepped out for just a sec, but don't worry, baby, he'll be right back. And if you are listening to this episode first today, which is Tuesday, don't worry, we'll see you in a bit before you join America's fastest growing and quickly becoming favorite political podcast. Go back and check out our first edition of the show today, episode 468, where we caught up with Trump Senior Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski for the first time. Also, one of our favorites, South Carolina Congressman, Ralph Norman, we broke down in its entirety. Donald Trump's triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania, and also a busy news weekend, which included some Joe Biden, I guess, speaking event bombs, Donald Trump and Governor Brian Kemp collaborating for the first time in four years, and porn podcasts. If you don't know what we're talking about, don't worry. We've got you covered. Go back and check out that edition of the show. We're gonna jump into things here on a busy Newsday Tuesday. We're gonna be breaking down Donald Trump's rally in Battleground, Wisconsin. He spoke and delivered remarks to supporters in Juneau, and we've got a complete recap and analysis in addition to that. We're gonna talk about how Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is still mired in the response to Hurricane Helene as a category four, or a category five, Hurricane Milton is bearing down on the Sunshine State and Florida, in addition to some of the other, I guess, big news items coming down the pike today. As I mentioned, we're gonna be jumping in here to start our second edition of the podcast, and at the end of this segment, we'll be catching up for the first time in a while, but definitely excited to be talking to New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, the Republican House Conference Chair, we'll be here, and then we'll round out today's episode of the podcast with a little bit of Josh Hammer, the senior editor at large at Newsweek, he's got two great podcasts, which you all should be listening to as well. Well, let's jump into the rally. Donald Trump spoke to supporters in Juneau, Wisconsin, an event that had at least 50,000 supporters at. The stage was set up in an air hanger, but the overflow crowd was something that only Donald Trump could do. He took to the stage adorning a man. There was a Juneau in Wisconsin as well. Yeah, there's certainly, well, there's Juneaus everywhere. I guess I didn't want to confuse our listenership in our last edition of the show either. That's why I said Beirut, Lebanon, because there's a couple of Beiruts in the United States as well, and don't think any of your tax dollars going there for any kind of relief. It's actually going and getting funneled to terrorist organizations who are backed by Iran. But yeah, Donald Trump took the stage here wearing a MAGA hat, and coming off of the Butler rally, looked to continue to advance on that harnessed energy he had there in the battleground state of Wisconsin, talking about how while visiting other battleground states, he saw some things that he didn't really agree with, including a legal running rampant. Let's check it out. - One week ago, I was in the beautiful town of Prairie Dushin. Have you heard of it? Prairie Dushin. (audience cheers) In Western Wisconsin, where, by the way, we had 60,000 people show up. - I thought that was Charlie Sheen's cousin. - That's the good news. But Biden, Sleepy Joe, didn't give us the number of people required, so we ended up speaking from a relatively small group. I hope we're going to go back and we're going to take care of that. They didn't give us the people necessary, so we spoke in front of a rather tiny little portion of them. They stayed around. - For Trump standards. - So we had 60,000 people there, and I think you're getting close to that right here too. It's pretty amazing. (audience cheers) But Prairie Dushin, and last month, police arrested an illegal alien member of a savage, Venezuelan prison gang, not a nice person. This vile monster, who had prior charges for strangulation, was arrested. He liked strangling people. Other than that, he was quite a nice person. Now, his thing was, he liked strangling people, was arrested for holding a mother-in-law. - The news isn't going to say that he called a migrant a nice person. - He was sexually assaulting them again and again and again. - Maybe he'll be on the Amherst Daddy podcast. - Kamala's wide open border just walked in. Nobody asked anything about him. They knew nothing about him. He was arrested or released in the sanctuary city of Minneapolis, where you have one of the worst vice presidents. Can you imagine that clown? What JD did to him? How about that guy? (audience cheers) And he was immediately released by Minnesota and set loose to prey on more victims, and he did earlier this year in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Fond du Lac. (audience cheers) Nice, I love these names. I wish they could give me a little easier name. It just, they told me that's the way you pronounce this. I hope I got it right. But an illegal alien released by Kamala Harris was arrested for tying up in blindfolding a 12-year-old. You know this, you've read its big story. A 12-year-old girl in a back of a van and viciously assaulting her in so many ways. - Listen, it's tough to talk about. My stomach hurts every time he refers to some of these instances. Now, growing numbers, you can't turn on the news without hearing about some kind of vicious or heinous migrant crime. But we have to be able to pull in these heartstrings because, again, this isn't happening in just Washington, D.C. and Chicago and Los Angeles and New York City. These are happening on the streets of everyday America to where your son or more commonly, your daughter or your wife can leave the house and never return. - And we're only knowing about the ones that are 100% nailed down, that they were a migrant that committed them. Like they caught somebody, but there's unsolved crimes that go every day. And there's potentiality for serial rapists to literally just be traversing the country doing this. - No, it's the truth. And, you know, there's a lot of these, some of these instances happen and like Noah kind of alluded to, unsolved crimes. Or sometimes the people are caught and once it becomes determined that they don't have any legal status in this country, it's just kind of buried under the radar. Like there are literally sheriff's departments that won't report this stuff. As we'll hear a little bit later in the rally where Donald Trump gets a big endorsement from a sheriff's association and he kind of tells the tale of the tape where they feel that Donald Trump has at least 80 but probably close to 90%. But it's that 10% that's helping facilitate these heinous crimes that are happening all over the country in conjunction with the radical judges and the globalist DAs. And it's just absolutely ludicrous to think that, you know, you or your family members, including your wives and your daughters, are safe or not subject to the crimes that other people have had to deal with over the course of the last three plus years. Yeah, and there's only one way that we're getting these people out of the country. You know, we already heard about the purge. We know it's probably gonna be more of like 100 days of hard work, 120 to get things started and the very violent criminal aliens out of here. But, you know, in addition to that, it's going to take probably all four years to get these numbers down to where they're at least satisfactory for the people who are looking to vote Donald Trump back in in November. He would talk about time and time again. Kamala Harris has been caught in lie after lie after lie. And just based off of the stuff that she said that's already been debunked, there's no reason that the common voter should even think about trusting her, let's hear it. Time and time again, Kamala has proven that she cannot be trusted and she can't do the job. First of all, she's grossly incompetent, I don't care. She doesn't do interviews. They said, why doesn't she do because she isn't cops. She can't answer the question. She can't answer anything. - Well, I cue more on-- - And I don't know, you know, they want to do 60 minutes. You remember I had it out with them last time because they had the laptop from hell and they said it was from Russia. I said, no, it was from Hunter. I turned out to be right. Remember, Leslie Stoll, she's another real heavyweight. Leslie Stoll, we got into like an argument on 60 minutes and I turned out to be right. But to the best of my knowledge, I have not received an apology. That was a big deal at the time. She said, how dare you? You shouldn't say that. This was from Russia. And he said, it wasn't from Russia. It was from Hunter. Ah, it's terrible. So we're waiting for an apology. They want to do it again. I'll do it again, but they got to apologize. Don't you think I should make them apologize? [CHEERING] You could hear the crowd's eyes and their reaction there. But listen, I'll be the first one to give a piece of free advice to our future president. Don't hold your breath. I'm waiting for that apology. Yeah. And one of the things that Donald Trump has really brought with him on the campaign trail is some of the things talking points from 2016. But even some of the one-liners who-- or that have accompanied him on the campaign trail since he's entered the political arena. One of those is, I'm sure you'd like to know, how he kind of re-harnises the catchphrase from the apprentice in regards to what we want to do to Kamala Harris on November 5. I like it. Let's hear it. And you have to tell Kamala Harris that we've had enough. We've had enough of you. You're a horrible vice president. You destroyed San Francisco as the DA. You destroyed California as the attorney general. You're not going to destroy the United States of America. Kamala, you're fired. Get out of here. [CHEERING] We're not going to let them do it, Troy. We're not going to let her destroy our country. And that was Donald Trump paying homage to Texas Congressman, even though they were in Wisconsin at the time. Troy Nells, who was supposed to be a guest on the show, but due to all the delays in travel that we're seeing and stemming from what's gone on with Hurricane Helene and now the inbound Hurricane Milton. They've got like 400 cancellations just today in the state of Florida as people are trying to move around and get out of the potential new disaster zones. He'll be joining us at some point in the next couple weeks, so I talked to his staff this morning. And I just kind of wanted to ask if he was safe. And yes, he said he's been traveling around extensively with the president, do a lot of campaigning. Remember, Troy Nells is in one of those house seats, much like Mike Collins. They either don't have a Democrat challenger, or they're going to win their race by 80 points. So they're out in other house districts. They're showing up at the Trump rallies to stand in solidarity with Donald Trump and JD Vance. And they're really doing a great job of getting out there and doing all the things they need to do to make sure he wins back the White House in a couple weeks. You know, as he talked about with Andrea Mitchell, we all know that Donald Trump has a very special place in his heart for the mainstream media. And I don't know if you've noticed this note, but that's the Trump rallies heading down the stretch here have gotten bigger. You know, the press can't be in the back. They have to be on like the rafters and the risers. They put like a little island in the middle of the rally so they can, you know, have good shots at the stage and for a lot of the major networks broadcast it live. Well, he's been slowly and strategically moving him closer and closer to the rear of the room. So they have to bring in more heavier equipment, better cameras, better sound system. And it's just a big pain in the ass because you all know how the people of Trump rallies treat the media. I'll just go back to the Butler incident. Donald Trump, who just had gotten shot in the head, was getting whisked into the suburban that was going to take him to the hospital. Nobody knew the status of his, and all you could see in the foreground of Donald Trump getting in is all the people in the audience that he just walked past, turning around and saying like, this is your fault and F you and giving the press the finger in real time, spitting at them, throwing trash at them, because I guess in the wake of that instance, that's how the people who were at the rally fell. Yeah, I mean, it's a rational response to an irrational event. Well, Donald Trump has a very rational place for the media at his rallies right now. He actually said that they're there up in Juneau, Wisconsin, let's hear it. As far as the eye can see beyond long beyond the fake news, that's a lot of cameras back there. But long beyond the fake news, look at all the, you can't even see. That's a lot of people. That's a lot of people. Unbelievable, thank you. You know, I always like to move the fake news way back, and I figure they have cameras that can do it, but that's the maximum they can do. If they say that's the bad, I don't think it is, but they say that's the max, because I want to move them way the hell to the back up to me, because they block the view, they block into view of these people. They block the view of all those people. It's the max they can do to crop their shots, so it doesn't look like there's people there. Bingo. I have a feeling he's got a couple more tricks, obviously, when it comes to dealing with the fake news press. We'll see what happens over the course. I got a feeling we've got some Trump on the, listen, there's not enough time for him to evolve in any greater context. We are so near Final Form Trump, it's not even funny. You know how he always describes how packed the place is? Sure. The media never will pan around and actually prove that. It would be hilarious if he was like, so he's got a screen up behind him, right? He's like, "Oh, look how packed it is," and then has cameras on site that are showing the screen behind him. Then you, of course, know that the news is going to just zoom in on his face. What if he pulled out his phone and he had it mirrored onto his cell phone? He just holds it up in front of his face. He can't do anything about it. You're doing the guy turning around side, I mean, at four different levels in a row. I like it. I have a good one of that. It's like the original movie of the guy in the cop car, the rock doing it, the kid from South Park doing it all in a row. It's like, "What's wrong with you?" It's like, you know, audible screeching in the back seat, and that would be the press. No, it's the truth. Listen, Donald Trump knows how to handle the media a lot better than he did. When they saw them all kind of turn on him back in 2016, it's like a masterclass. Almost watching it now. It's going to be interesting to see what Final Form Trump looks like in just a few short weeks.

We've got going on down here at the show like our incoming interview with Republican House chairwoman, Elise Stefanik. Can you airdrop podcasts? Next time I fly, I'm going to have to try it. It's a scaredropper to random people, especially if they look like they're not going to vote for Trump. You get what I'm saying? The first wall's hair. You could always fucking tell. Yeah. I saw a wall's hair side on my street. They took down their Ukrainian flag and put up a wall's hair sign in front of theirs this week. I wonder if they had to pay for that with the credit. I'm not pulling the clip. I'm sure we'll hear from him soon, though. $10 billion is like $10 in Ukrainian money, so it's probably already all gone. But I did talk about endorsements. Donald Trump picked up a big one from a local sheriff's association out there in the great state of Wisconsin. And they took the stage in mass to talk about their endorsement of Donald Trump. Let's hear it. I'm going to cross our country that support you. I'd say 80 to 90 percent of law enforcement across this country are behind you, Mr. President. I have something very important. I think you're going to want to hear. In Dodge County, in this 2024 election, there are zero drop boxes for the election. Our clerks are fantastic. We're going to make sure that we have the best, most secure election in Dodge County history. And one last thing, Mr. President, the last time I met you, I was with 200 sheriffs standing on the south lawn. And you came out and you shook a bunch of sheriffs' hands, and you didn't quite get to me. Wait. So I did one thing that I knew would get his attention, and he'll do again here shortly as soon as I say it. I shouted, and he walked over to me afterwards. Best president ever. He didn't just get a handshake. He got a big old hug as well. It wasn't just the sheriff's stumbling for Donald Trump out in Juneau Wisconsin. It was our favorite Republican senator. Great guest of the show, someone who you'll hear at least once a month, sometimes twice. And that's Ron Johnson. He had some great words to say about Donald Trump in the upcoming election. And also his continuing collaborative efforts with RFK Jr. Let's hear it. I also want to thank you for your new alliance with Bobby Kennedy. Not only... Not only is that important, so we are actually going to address the huge problem of chronic health and children's health. But you are right about the enemy within. They are dividing us on purpose. They are destroying this nation. And by aligning with Bobby Kennedy, you are setting the example, the two of you. Set the differences aside, focus on an area of agreement on a big problem. And in doing so, you are demonstrating exactly how this nation can come together, how we heal and unify America. So God bless you, God protect you, and God bless America. Thank you. I love me some Ron, John. He also reminded Wisconsin's. As he would get ready to close out, what a vote for Kamala Harris essentially means. Let's check it out. So a vote for Kamala is a vote for four more years of Crooked Joe Biden. It's a disaster. It's a disaster for our country, and it'll never be this way. A vote for Trump is a vote for change, and it's a vote for saving our country. Maybe you've heard of that. Don't believe it. So if Kamala just sort of closing up, if Kamala enacts her agendas, she'll destroy America. Our agenda will make America safer and wealthier than ever before. I think the choice is pretty clear. What do you think Noah? Yeah. The energy continued, the energy flowed, and it was a great, great opportunity for Donald Trump to present his case to the people out in Juneau, Wisconsin. Last clip I've got before we jump in with Chairwoman Elise Stefanik is, of course, a portion of the closeout. Let's hear it. We will stop the invasion. We will end migrant crime. We will strengthen our military. We will build a missile defense shield around our country. I know you like that, Noah. Much of it will be made in Wisconsin, by the way. Oh, okay. I like that. We will keep critical race theory and transgender insanity the hell out of our schools. It's God. And we will keep men out of women's sports. We will defend the Second Amendment, protect religious liberty, restore free speech, and we will once and for all secure our elections. Everyone will prosper. Every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with opportunity and hope, and especially for the people of Wisconsin, you're going to be happy. You're going to be happy. But for that to happen, we must defeat Kamala Harris, and we must stop her country destroying radical left agenda once and for all. We have to knock it. We want a landslide that's too big to rig. We want a too big, a too rig. And just finally, after all we have been through together, we stand on the verge of the four greatest years of the history of our country. I believe they're going to be the four greatest years. Not just a fixing up. It's going to be a going forward. With your help from now until election day, 30 days, we will redeem America's promise. We will put America first, and we will take back the nation that we love. November 5th will be the most important day in the history of our country, and together we will make America powerful again, powerful. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you. Thank you, Wisconsin. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you. Thank you. Noah, do I even need to ask? Nope. 10 out of 10? Yeah. I'm going with it as well. Great rally, great energy, great support, great attendance. Donald Trump is doing all the things he needs to address the concerns of American citizens and make sure that he's not leaving a stone unturned in this upcoming election cycle. We're going to leave it at that as we're getting ready to jump in with a chairwoman, at least phonico, but before we do, how about another check-in with one of our partners? It's an unpleasant truth that 42% of Americans are obese and 79% of Americans are overweight. That's practically one in every two Americans living day to day with every minute counting down to the end of an unhealthy existence. It's time to change that and make Americans healthy again.

Make America healthy again. All right, joining us first on the show today is a big Tuesday edition of the stake for records podcast. She's the representative for New York's 21st congressional district. She's also the Republican House Conference Chair welcoming back Miss Elise Stefanek. Madam Chairman, welcome back to the show. Great to be with you. Thank you for having me. Always a pleasure. Busy times. Everyone's on the road. I guess essentially since us since we're in studio here today. Why don't you catch our listenership up on a little bit about where you've been over the last couple days. So today I'm doing an event for my colleague Mike Ezell in Mississippi. We had a great turnout of Republican women. Later this week I'll be in North Carolina with Laura Trump, Chairman Michael Watley, other members of the Trump team. Next week I'll be in Pennsylvania with Dave McCormick and some of our key House Republican candidates. And over the weekend I was in my home district in upstate New York and a lot to talk about. People are fired up and we are in this final sprint and we're doing everything we can to elect President Trump as well as holding the Republican House and flipping the Senate. Those are the big three right there and it seems like the favorability of doing so. Listen, we've talked about it on the show. We just finished a coverage of Donald Trump's rally in Juneau, Wisconsin, which happened over the weekend. We also did a coverage of Butler as well and his trumpet returned there, Congresswoman. But it seems like all hands on deck the tent is widened to almost max capacity and much like a lot of people armchair quarterback in the last election cycle. It seems like Republicans, especially Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, is leaving no stone unturned, but it doesn't go and says the amount of work that other people within the party are doing to support him. You already mentioned the leadership group at the RNC also esteemed guests of the here on the show, but yourself and several other congressmen and women senators throughout the country are working very hard to make sure that not only Donald Trump wins the White House, but retains the House and extends that majority and flips the Senate back into Republican control. Yes, we're all working hard. You know, every Republican, every elected official up and down the ballot is working as one team with President Trump. He is really unified, not just the Republican Party, but this movement, this America first movement. And you see that coming out of the polls, as always, I think, Trump will over polls. We've seen that in both 2016 and in 2020 that the media, the polls, these are skewed. They try to suppress the vote of Trump supporters. And we need to do everything we can to turn out every single vote. We are doing that in New York, making sure that we hold those five key swing districts. And President Trump is crisscrossing the country compared to Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris can barely get through a softball interview. She had a horrific interview with 60 minutes where she turned her back on Israel once again. You saw more words, salad of nothingness, just like her Oprah interview. So the American people are looking for solutions and they're looking for results, whether it's the border crisis, the inflation crisis, or look around the world, the chaos and catastrophe and weakened national security. And the American people are smart. It will be the people that save this country by electing President Trump and Republicans up and down the ballot. It's the honest to God's truth. And listen, God forbid Kamala Harris' teleprompter turns off. That is just spelling a recipe for disaster there. Listen, you touched on a lot of the topics we want to hit with you today, Madam Chairwoman. But I do want to start off in Butler, Pennsylvania. It was a very somber, but extremely energetic and patriotic event that happened up in the battleground state of Pennsylvania this weekend. Donald Trump returned to the place where he was nearly assassinated a little over 12 weeks ago. A big memorial for the firefighter who lost his life protecting his family. It was a musical interludes weaving in and out whether it was the crowd spontaneously singing the national anthem or we had some Italian-American opera that filled the air with vibrant tunes. I kind of want to get your commentary on how you saw that, what it means for the campaign at this point and how important is it to see real leadership on display like we saw with Donald Trump returning to the place where he was nearly assassinated 12 weeks ago? It was so meaningful. I mean, to see 100,000 people pour out in support of President Trump, the emotions of, first of all, that first assassination attempt at Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump speaks so emotionally, but with great strength about that when he pointed to the slide that actually showed the border numbers, how he had secured the border versus this wide border open border policy under Kamala Harris's open borders are, but it was meaningful for the American people look at the strength and the fight. The fact that President Trump stood up and said fight, fight, fight and raised up his fist, that is going to be an iconic image for generations to come of what American greatness is and what we are fighting for, America First Policies and a strong leader at the helm. So it was very meaningful, emotional, I was in touch with members of the Trump campaign, the Trump team supporter, some of our Republican members of Congress who are there, just saying how much of a highlight that event was for Pennsylvanians and for President Trump himself and the entire team. So it was very meaningful and it was well deserved for President Trump to see that outpouring of support. No, it certainly was, and then when you talk about collaborative efforts that he's made, officially with the speech he gave during President Trump's remarks up in Butler, you know, he's been very political online. He definitely told everybody that the tides turned for him in regards of who should be the leader of this country after he saw Donald Trump rise from the assassination attempt and put up his fist just like you kind of eluded to, to see how wide the Republican 10 has gotten. Donald Trump made the remarks during the Republican National Convention and he made it very clear to all those members of the party that he's just not running to be the President of the Republican Conference. He's running to be the President of all Americans. His words have meant actions and he's shown it not only in leadership but who he's brought on, Tulsi Gabbard, as well along the way, and I just kind of want to ask you how you feel, you know, bringing so many different kinds of personalities and Americans outside of traditionally the America First Hand that Donald Trump has done and the job he's done of doing it over the course of this election cycle. There is no question that the supporters of President Trump is broad. It's the broadest coalition ever in modern day American politics and, you know, I see that in my district. My district really tells the story of today's Republican Party where previously a voter for Obama, but now we win independence. We win over 20% of registered Democrats. People are looking for leadership. They're looking for results. And if you look at the historic support for President Trump from African American voters, from Hispanic voters, from Asian Americans, from Jewish Americans, those numbers continue to go up and up. And he's making inroads with women voters. If you look at his record, whether it's women economic opportunity, his record supporting pro-family, pro-children, pro-babies, pro-women policies, they're really pro-American policies. So this is exciting to be a part of. And it certainly is a seismic realignment in modern day politics. And the party that is just winnowing and getting smaller and smaller is the radical Democrat Party, which is not the party of even, you know, ten years ago. It's not the party of Bill Clinton. It's not the party of JFK. It is a far left, pro-humous, radicalized, socialist Democrat party where you have the leaders like Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Kamala Harris, the most liberal U.S. senator who is now the weakest nominee for President any party has ever put up. Okay, I disagree with you there. And then when you've seen Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's response, or lack thereof, in the wake of Hurricane Helene, you know, we caught up with South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman today. And although a greater majority of his district is okay, it's the amount of help that they've been able to afford people in rural South Carolina, and definitely in western North Carolina as well, that he just says Joe Biden has failed on, that Kamala Harris has failed on. He decided to either remain in Joe Biden's case up in Delaware, the weekend that the hurricane hit, and Kamala Harris wanted to pre-record podcasts and do high-end fundraisers while people like Donald Trump was out in the disaster zone shortly after the rain stopped falling to not only just provide relief and a little bit of reassurance to the people, but to show the American public what actual leadership looks like. Leaders lead, I think optics means a lot, and I kind of want your commentary on the response. I mean, just seeing him together with Governor Brian Camp after four years of kind of a termulous relationship, it seems like they've put their differences aside, and they both understand how important this election is. Yes, you are a spot on the fact that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were essentially absent and look at the horrific response from FEMA. It is working at the speed of failed government bureaucracy. President Trump works at the speed of business. He gets things done. They delivered more results immediately. He was there on on site with Governor Brian Camp. They are active in North Carolina, bringing relief, and then you have the federal government under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just abysmally not getting the resources they need from FEMA to the communities that have been left behind by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. So this really encapsulates America first. President Trump puts hardworking Americans first to making sure that we have the resources we need. Our hearts go out to them. I know that so many volunteers across the country, including in my district and upstate New York, have not only been making donations, but have been going down there, sending goods that are needed by these families. And we're working with the members of the Republican conference who are members of Congress in North Carolina to make sure that they're getting the resources they need and demanding accountability from FEMA. If you look at FEMA, the fact that they've given billions of dollars to illegals, whether it's illegals housing, and yet they only announced $750 for people that have lost their homes, have lost everything in lives who are lost. It's a disgrace and it's really encapsulates America last under Kamala Harris. No, it certainly does and it's great to see how it's Republicans at the forefront of speaking out on that because I think it's important to bring awareness of American people. First where our money is gone, where our money continues to go, and how Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have prioritized or not American citizens in the wake of such tragedies. Madam Chairwoman, I kind of want to stay in the same thread of tough things to talk about, but this is going to be a totally different topic. Yesterday was the one-year remembrance of one of the greatest terrorist attacks this world has ever known, the Hamas-led operation, backed by Iran into Israel, where over 1,400 people were slaughtered. There were prisoners who were still being held by the terrorist organization in Gaza, and the lack of response, again, from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, their failed foreign policies in the region too, our only Democrat-led government ally in the Middle East has just been something like I've never seen before. You know, they've hung Israel out to dry in regards to not standing shoulder to shoulder with them in solidarity. You had both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris not attend Beebe Netanyahu speaking before the Senate and the House just a couple of weeks ago. You know, they've armed chair quarterback. Every single one of their moves in response to the terrorist attack, they continue to dangle aid out in front of them and say you can't do this, you can't do that, while they've kind of just opened up the floodgates to places like Ukraine. And again, we don't want to prioritize which situation is worse and what's going on with different battles going on across the planet, but here's the deal. You know, when you talk about moving forward and the bridges that are going to have to be mended, if Kamala Harris doesn't win and Donald Trump can get back in the White House, there's a lot of healing that needs to be done. And in regards to yourself, you've been at the forefront of the anti-Semitism in this country, combating it both on the college campuses and places like the streets of New York. I just kind of want to get your commentary on, you know, the anniversary of such a tragic event and not to see Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who are the ones who in charge of this country right now, not get to the forefront and stress the importance of not only winning this war, but standing in solidarity with one of our longest standing allies in the region. Well, National Security is front and center and on the one year anniversary, what did we see? We saw clips of Kamala Harris in her 60 minutes of Bismill interview, turning her back on Israel once again, when she said she would not stand by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This is the modern day existential fight for Israel's very existence and it is our most precious ally. And what have they seen from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? At every opportunity, they have turned their backs. They have withheld military aid that was passed by Congress on a bipartisan basis. The fact that they have slow walked it, the fact that they have sided with the pro-Hamas radical arm of today's Democrat party, it's a disgrace and it's not that long ago, four years to be accurate under President Trump, you have the historic Abraham of course, you have peace in the Middle East, you had huge breakthroughs, the greatest breakthroughs in more than a quarter of a century of normalization and peace and stabilization between Israel and Arab countries and the region. And look at what's happening on our college campuses. I've been a leader combating and condemning anti-Semitism. That really encapsulates this moral rot in today's left. That is not just in our elected Democrat officials, but has infected our institutions and it needs to be rooted out at its core. Certainly, I support peace through strength. The American people are looking through peace, poor peace through strength. And that's one of the many reasons why President Trump is gaining support. And if you look at polls of Jewish voters, look in New York, for example, President Trump is winning over 50% of Jewish voters in the state of New York because people have seen firsthand how Kamala Harris and Jill Biden have turned their back against Israel. Certainly, this is very, very important to me. It's important to every single American to make sure that we have peace and security around the world, but mostly peace and security at home and stand by allies like Israel. No, you're exactly right. Peace through strength means the hostilities need to come to an end, the parties need to come to the bargaining table. And most importantly, the American and Israeli hostages need to come home in the fastest manner possible. It's been embarrassing to be someone who lives in this country and watches Jill Biden and Kamala Harris forget about so many people, whether it be out in Afghanistan, you know, what they've done with the Ukraine more and now with Israel. It's just been really tough to watch and have to go through knowing that we're so close to the election right now. And one of the biggest issues outside of the economy and obviously geopolitical standing for the United States is border security. Now, our listenership might not think that Congresswoman who represents upstate New York is someone that's going to be talking about border security, but listen, you've got also at the forefront of sounding the alarm on the terrorism component, on the illegal immigration component, and the people unvettedly checked coming into this country over the course of the last three plus years on the northern border. This is something that I know you'd love to talk about. You shared with our listenership a little bit about it last time you're on the show. Madam Chairwoman, if you could get back into this right now, I think it'd be something great to discuss. Yes, I was just up at the border in my district in Clinton County had small had people from small communities in Franklin County and Clinton County who live along what's called the Swanson sector of our northern border. And if you look at the data, there is a 50 times, not 50%. 50 times increase of illegal crossings, more legal crossings in 2024 than the previous 17 years combined. This is a direct result of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, most importantly, his open borders are created this border crisis. You've had family share stories of, you know, at the beginning of September was the first week of school. School starts in upstate New York and families were trying to put their young elementary school age students on the school buses. Families told me there were illegals not making that possible because they were surrounding school buses. You had a family share a story with me. They went to a Labor Day parade and they, you know, went to this community parade. They come back and there are illegals in their garage and the border patrol has been bearing the brunt of this. This administration has turned their back on the border patrol. And I've been sounding the alarm on this for going back to the first few months of Joe Biden's presidencies. It is a crisis. It impacts every district across America. Again, compared to where we were four years ago, the most secure border in our nation's history. We saw none of that on the northern border compared to just really what is unrecognizable today in communities in upstate New York. No, it's the truth. You know, we had the opportunity to sit down with one of our frequent guests, Dr. Ben Carson, who's now the like the faith chairman for the Trump campaign nationally. And he was talking about the open border policies via the how bad it's been on both the northern and southern borders in the United States. And at some point, our country is going to wind up paying for what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has done over the course of the last nearly four years. The last thing I want to touch with you on Congresswoman, and I think this is really important. You know, you're out stumping around for all these candidates hoping to get Donald Trump back into the White House come January of next year. Just talk to our listenership a little bit about the importance of getting out there and voting, getting involved in these races right now and doing all the things we need to do to talk about the big three. Donald Trump winning the White House, extending that House majority and retaining it and obviously flipping the Senate into Republican control. I mean, we've seen so many things over the course of this election cycle. We've already talked about the component of widening the tent. We're seeing Donald Trump campaign. He's going to be in places like Virginia. He's done New Jersey, Long Island in New York. He's going to have Trump Chilla out in California this weekend. Things that we don't typically see normal traditional Republican candidates do something that Donald Trump is not. But when you talk about doing the things that we need to do in the last four weeks heading up to election day, what are some of the things you give our listenership? Well, first of all, this is the most important election in our lifetime. I know we always say that, but this one really is. And this is going to be a turnout election. We need to turn out every single voter, whether it's early in-person voting, whether it's legal absentee voting, or whether it's on election day. We want to get those votes in the door and every vote is going to matter. It's going to matter in these key presidential states. It's going to matter for the House Republican majority. I'll give you an example in New York. Democrats are spending $100 million to target five seats in New York state. They are trying to flip the House in New York, and we are making sure that we have the resources to hold those seats and also to pick up additional seats in the House majority. And then, of course, the Senate. We need to flip the Senate. So it is all on the line. We need to get it done. Well, we certainly do, and we talked about it today with you. Listen, we've got everything live linked in the show description today, obviously a link to your congressional website. Why don't you tell our listenership if they want to check you out online, anywhere that you're at, anywhere that you're working, and all the good work that you're doing in between. You can go to EliseForCongress.com. You can follow me on social media at Elise Stefanik. Absolutely fantastic. As it is every time we can catch up with the House Republican Conference Chairwoman, Madam Elise Stefanik. Thanks for joining us on the show today. Be safe out there and have a great rest of your week. Thank you so much. On this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to Lebanon without Congress coming back. But Congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina. Do I have that right? Here's what I'm going to be very clear about. The President and the Vice President has had a robust whole of government responses. Hundreds of millions of dollars. I said it at the top, more than $200 million, that we have directly put towards survivors here for disaster help. And that's because of this President's commitment to make sure that we are there for communities that are impacted. We take this very seriously again. We take this very seriously. And before the hurricane hit, we pre-positions more than 1,500 federal folks on the ground to help. And so we have made sure that every state has gotten their storm requested emergency declaration. They requested it and we made sure they received it. We've taken this very seriously. More than $200 million that we have provided to the impacted areas. But instead, people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous, which is dangerous. Because then when folks on the ground hear that, they may not want to ask for the help that they need. That is there for them. That is there for them. That's our focus here. But President Biden is fond of saying, "Show me your budget and I will tell you what you value." If he's got money for people in Lebanon right now, without Congress having to come back, what does it say about his values? There's not enough money right now for people in North Carolina who need it. That's not misinformation. Your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir. Yes, it's misinformation. I just mentioned to you that we provided more than $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area. And I just shared with you that people are deciding not to, people are deciding not to. We're talking about the SBA disaster loan. Yes, and that's important. And people in North Carolina need that. Wait, this is nothing new. Peter, this is nothing new. Congress comes together, they provide money, millions of dollars for disaster relief. We're asking them to do the job that they have been doing for some time. We're doing some sometimes. The President's letter is not misinformation. Would you agree? No, the way you're asking me the question is misinformation. There's money that we are allocating to the impacted areas. And there's money there to help people who truly need it. There are survivors who need the funding, who need the funding. And it's there. I said that I actually said we have the money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene. And also Hurricane Milton. Now, there's going to be a shortfall, right? Because we don't know how bad it's Hurricane Milton is going to be. And so we're going to need additional funding. We're going to need additional funding. That's exactly what I just asked about. No, but you're asking me is why Congress needs to come back and do their job? That's what you're asking me. Congress needs to come back and do their job and provide assistance, extra funding to disaster relief fund. That's what Congress needs to do. And we're going to continue to urge that. You may not want that, but that's okay. That's what this... All right. Jumping back into the news portion of the show here. Last news segment on the back end of two big Tuesday editions of the "Stake for Breakfast" podcast. And as always, when we have the opportunity, it's so great catching up with the House Republican Conference chairwoman, at least a following who's representing proudly New York's 21st Congressional District. And that was the rock, Dwayne Johnson, telling Korean Jean Pierre how he really feels after an epic back and forth with Fox News's Peter Ducey to where he actually calls her out and says, "Listen, Joe Biden wrote a memo. I just read the memo to you just because you don't like the question. You can't call it misinformation to where she promptly closed her binder and looking like the bad guy from Dick Tracy exited the stage left off and away from the podium and behind closed doors back to her promotion." Which I already talked to us about from our first edition of the podcast. Absolutely mind blowing to see these people fuck up and move up. You don't really think you can make it up either, but here's the latest we've got from sources out on Twitter. Biden promotes Korean Jean Pierre to senior advisor, despite her struggles as the National Press Secretary, shadowy effort to remove her. And it says in reading a little bit further, "Joe Biden has promoted Korean Jean Pierre to serve as a senior advisor during his final three months in office, despite internal concerns about her performance, which resulted in an unsuccessful attempt to coax her to step aside. She will be occupying a job which was held by some pretty heavy hitters within the Democrat party over the years, including David Axelrod, who served Barack Obama. Also, if you want to look at the other side of the aisle, Carl Wrove was now George Bush's. KJP, as well as Jared Kushner to Donald Trump. Even though she's been a trusted advisor, she's pretty much failed at her job. Doesn't look like too much of a monetary incentive. She's going to remain at her $180,000 a year. We'll probably keep her at a site because he's a lame duck president. It doesn't matter who his fucking cabinet is. So, you know, and journalists have began and have been for a while broadly scornful of Korean Jean Pierre's performance as the White House chief spokesperson, noting that she is rarely responsive to questions during her briefings, often tilting her head down and haltingly to read prepared answers. You know, this is just another in a long line of Democrat fuck-ups for this administration. I also have -- you know where this announcement came from? Noah, you're probably going to like this one. Jeff Zients? Zients! And although they teased it last week... I remember you were so mad at me the first time I did that in the studio, though. Because you scared me. He later denied it, but had to recant that denial after it was announced on Monday that this is what would be happening. Understanding the issue that she reached from a binder word for word doesn't have any plausible solutions to the questions that are being asked. It gives no -- little or no insight. And from a source within the White House press poll said there's an enormous amount of work that goes into getting ready for consistently handling these White House press briefings, and she does not -- I'm not answering questions. It says she does not or has not ever put in that level of work. So that's where we're at at the White House press poll. And even though she continued to deny it, I do have in our next audio clip some receipts from CNN where they at least not once, not twice, but thrice, have alluded to money from the Department of Homeland Security being funneled to, well, you've guessed it, illegals instead of people here in the United States that need it. Let's check it out. Migrants, including reimbursing some of those cities, that's a part -- so now the White House says that for those cities that they know are receiving an influx of migrants that includes New York City, as you just said, Chicago, and here in Washington, D.C., there is somebody from FEMA that federal emergency management agency ready and willing to really help those cities when it comes to management of these influx of migrants, including reimbursing some of those cities. That's a part of the kind of the response that the White House has now given. The administration has been in regular touch with the cities, and FEMA regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and nonprofit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for these migrants. FEMA regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and nonprofit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants. There you have it. You shouldn't have to ask any other questions about it. What do you think, Noah? Yeah, I mean, I heard some people trying to say that money from the Department of Homeland Security was allocated and the FEMA stuff was really not budgeted and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But what she just said there basically just opens it up for not much other accountability or conjecture. Yeah, because it's like even if they don't write it in the literature of the appropriations or the HR's or the CR's or the omnibus's that are getting passed. The fine print says these funds can be allocated to cities who have spent money on illegals as part of a DHS backed reimbursement program. And when it comes down to us just willy-nilly sending money all over the world, obviously those things, like a lot of these things that are not expected to happen, this money for war, a lot of that wasn't really like, oh, we knew this was going to happen. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't, but I don't know, it just seems like they can just write a fucking blank check any day they want to unless it's going to help, for instance. An entire swath of red voters. You know, I feel like you have a need and as your host and one that's been one for a long time, I'm going to meet that need for you right now, okay? If you can't give us, can't give us some financial support, okay, okay, please, give us a credit. That's going to go down in history. One of the best ones ever, it always will. And you know, it's sad that we have to keep referring to that. Again, Zelensky came here two weeks ago, he left with over $10 billion in cash, funding aid and military equipment. Israel starts opening their front against, into Lebanon, against Hezbollah. And the next thing you know, $102 billion in the wake of Hurricane Helene and ahead of Hurricane Milton are sent to Beirut so they can provide assistance to their people, which is going to get immediately funneled back to, if not Hezbollah, Iran, or maybe they'll just split it. And you can't make the stuff up, $100 million. It's just ridiculous the way that we've been put a second fiddle for the entirety of this administration and if it's not enough to think that it's only going to get worse, well, we've got 30 days now to see exactly what's going to happen. If you get worse, yeah, I don't know if you've seen it, no, but in the wake of these hurricanes, meatball, Ron is rolled back into the news cycle. Yeah, it's weird though, when you go back to some of my predictions and stuff, though, it's weird, they're going to see some sort of crazy thing that's happened that they're going to end up declaring martial law or suspend elections for some reason. I mean, I don't know what else is in the playbook now. Yeah, I mean, they really are banking on the IQ level of low propensity voters in this election. Or, I mean, they're just ready to commit mass fraud again, which I think we are set up in a lot better place than we were in 2020. You know, they had alleged that it would be happening, but when you saw the way, you know, the state constitutions were circumvented. The laws that were on the books were changed, the way governors just decided to do whatever they wanted. Then in blue states, free for all mail-in ballots, you know, it showed that there were a lot of Trump voters out there only getting 63 million in the first cycle and nearly 75 million in the second. Yeah, but also a lot of the ballot changes where, like, this name's not on the ballot, that name's back on the ballot, this name's not on the ballot. That actually probably has them scrambling to get this done faster. The cleaning and voter rolls. I do think the illegal component, I mean, they have over, according to Donald Trump, 21 million opportunities to commit voter fraud in this upcoming election. And that's not a couple thousand in swing states, which is going to determine this election. So we'll have to see what happens. We just know the polling is starting to really bend in Donald Trump's direction, and I think the dams getting ready to break. If we see a lack of response in something that could be a real disaster in the form of Hurricane Milton over the course of this week, that could be the nail in the coffin for Kamala Harris. It'll be three weeks until election day to see them doing nothing instead of shit like Howard Stern and the Hoosier Daddy podcast. But in referencing Ron DeSantis and seeing his fat, sweaty, doesn't fit in the suit he's wearing anymore because he's not Osempic Ron anymore, all on, you know, the major news networks talking about what's about to happen in Florida and the hurricane that's about to hit it. I guess, apparently Joe Biden and Kamala Harris haven't been able to get Ron DeSantis on the phone in regards to taking care of or preparing for the natural disaster that's heading their way. Kamala Harris, who rarely answers questions, I guess thought that one didn't have anything to do with the economy or border security. So she bid on it on the tarmac before she jumped on her plane yesterday. Let's hear what she had to say. Governor DeSantis, NBC has reported Governor DeSantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes, resources and help. How does that hurt the situation here? You know, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone calls themselves a leader. Because they're going to put politics aside for the people first. People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment. No, we're not going to give it to them. Right. These are the height of the emergency situation. It's just utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship. Instead of doing the job that you just don't know what to do to put the people first. You know, what's funny is that she so doesn't understand her place in this world. They were asking about potentially what could happen because Hurricane Milton hasn't hit Florida yet. Hurricane Helene didn't do too much damage in Florida. Although, you know, you saw a huge storm surge and some areas kind of affected. But it wasn't like Florida needed any kind of relief like places like North Carolina and rural Tennessee and places in Virginia did. And she's talking like it's already happened and he's refusing aid from the federal government. Like he doesn't want FEMA on the ground in Florida when the hurricane still isn't set to hit until later today, which is Tuesday, or really make ground fall with the storm surge and all that other stuff until Wednesday of this week. So again, low IQ, more on full display for the American people, which we're going to continue to stay in that thread, unfortunately. So she sat down with 60 minutes this week. No, have you seen any of the clips from there? Bits and pieces, yeah. Absolutely brutal. And, you know, even though it was pre-recorded. The guy's mustache almost fell off one point. He was so dumbfounded. Mm-hmm. And they were allowed to, I guess, take, you know, they must have recorded it and said, "Hey, we got what we got, we'll edit it." And they probably told them, "Listen, these back and forths that we don't really appreciate that, this, that, and the other thing." And they kind of rolled with it. So the first clip I've got is him kind of fact-checking her or asking her, "What's the deal, bitch?" You flip it up on literally everything from tax on tips and the border wall to the economy and everything in between. Can you please explain yourself? And what we get is probably just another version of the word salad. Maybe it's Cobb. Let's come on. Just serving up during this interview. Let's check it out. Let me tell you what your critics and the columnists say. Okay. They say that the reason so many voters don't know you is that you have changed your position on so many things. You were against fracking, now you're for it. You supported looser immigration policies, now you're tightening them up. You were for Medicare for all. Now you're not. So many that people don't know what to leave or what you stand for. And I know you've heard that. In the last four years, I have been Vice President of the United States and I have been traveling our country. And I have been listening to folks and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus. We are a diverse people geographically, regionally in terms of where we are in our backgrounds. And what the American people do want is that we have leaders who can build consensus. Where we can figure out compromise and understand it's not a bad thing. As long as you don't compromise your values to find common sense solutions. And that has been my approach. Noah. Why don't you break that down for us. I feel like I should just deflect and not answer the question. Well, there you go. Her answer essentially says, because I'm in an election cycle and there's probably a good chance that I'm not going to win. I've traveled the country since I've been inserted as the Democrat nominee and listened to what the people are complaining about. And now I'm making them my policy points, even though I won't dive into any of them because they're only my policy points until November 5th. They all go back to my old policy points on January 20th of next year. And I really need people to understand that. In the case of Kamala Harris, her only job between now and election day is tell people what they want to hear and demonize the other side of the ticket period. You're not going to hear anything else. It's not like some big elaborate plans like her economic policy 10 point strongest pillars to get this country back on track or anything to do with the border. Obviously, then immigration reform and Republicans really need to have a negotiation at the table with us or getting back any of the hostages in the Gaza Strip, doing any of that stuff. If you just want more money for forever wars, open borders and the end of the American economy as we know it, vote for Kamala Harris. You know, and she would get into a little bit of her economic plan because it really is hard to decipher, you know, opportunity economy and also other bullshit that don't exist. Saying she's going to be giving out freebies and a panderance to people when you know these startup loans for small businesses, she said they're going to be like 50k has to be approved through Congress. So does the tax credit for kids? You just can't executively order billions of dollars into existence. And listen, I'll let you guys kind of digest her answer and add to the migraine that Mia Noah have breaking it down all we could check it out. My plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class and you strengthen America's economy. Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's economy. But pardon me, Madam Vice President, the question was, how are you going to pay for it? Well, one of the things I'm going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan on making that fair. But we're dealing with the real world. But the real world includes how are you going to get this through Congress? You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about. Their constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses. Wow. You know, I like the fact that she makes it like every single person, every single member of the middle class as a small business owner. Imagine how great our country would be if that was the truth. And then when he kind of Godzilla's that small apartment building and looks at the next one, she just says, oh, teachers and firefighters and all these other, you know, let me check a couple of boxes here. These I meant those are the middle class. They pay. Other middle class. We've all had it explained to you guys here on the show. Me and Noah have broken down extensively over the years. What happens when you tax the shit. Unrelentlessly out of the 1% of the overlords of this country. They you think inflation is bad now. Just imagine if you take another third of their total annual income away from them and they have to cut part of the workforce and energy costs stay where they are. The carton eggs will cost $20 for $12, not the $7 or $8 like we're paying out here in Southern California right now. And that's just the fact of the matter. Because listen, you could tax the shit out of the rich all you want. They'll never run out of money. And if they do decide that the money they're running out of because you want to raise their taxes is getting to, they'll just move it all offshore and then move to another country. Unfortunately, we all can't do that. We'll again have $20 cartons of eggs, gas prices through the roof, and it will be the end of the middle class. So for her economic plan, which he said focuses on us, it will be our destruction if she wins the presidency period. There's no two ways about it. And I can't even imagine the retards that she would bring in to try and implement these plans that she has no idea what she's talking about in what would be a Harris Walt administration. Last clip I've got because my stomach hurts listening to it. No, I think you'll like this one. Did you see the aster about the firearm, the alleged firearm that she says she supposedly owns? Does it have a 40 caliber clip? Well, I mean, a Glock's a Glock, right? Yeah, let's hear it. You recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner and then there's someone came into your house. Not the first time I've talked about it. That's not the first time I've talked about it. So what kind of gun do you own and when and why did you get it? I have a Glock and I've had it for quite some time and I mean, look, my background is in law enforcement and so there you go. Have you ever fired it? Yes, of course I have at a shooting range. Yes, of course I have. What are you retarded? So he, I know you're not retarded, but what are you down syndrome? I have a Glock. Yes, I fired it at a shooting range. Maybe you've heard of them. I actually maybe you've heard of it. Yeah, I saw the on earth clip. This goes back to I believe 2015 where she was on some panel of again retards and they brought up that, you know, there was a town hall and somebody asked her about gun ownership in California and she said, you know, oh, I'm a gun owner of this. And she gave the exact same answer 10 years ago. I have a Glock. I'm quite the marksman. I've used it at the range and then nothing else. Now what generation it is, not what model or caliber. She got an extended bag, night sights, flashlight, anything. Switch, right? That'd be illegal. I have a Glock. Fuck you. She's the worst. You know, this will look up disgust on your face when you said that was palpable. My stomach really hurts and it's not just from having to break this down over the course of the last four days. It's the reality that we're living in knowing that there is a slim chance that this could be our governing overlord starting on January 20th of next year. At which point, you know, there probably won't be a stake for records anymore, not literally because we won't be able to afford it, but metaphorically, in the case of the podcast too, because we're probably all going to be in jail. Much like it's looking like Elon Musk is going to be our after credit joking about it yesterday, Tucker Carlson. She joined the late show last night and sat down with Stephen Colbert and you'll never guess what was on the menu. Or maybe you will. It's word salad. Let's check it out. And you're right. And I have the blessing and privilege of traveling all over our country. And in particular, in these years where we have witnessed so called leaders attempting to create division between us. I meet people who are just the people who are the ones who are the most optimistic about what is possible, who believe in each other, who understand that we all have so much more in common than what separates us. People who, you know, when people are out there protesting, you know, God love them because we have a nation that says that we will allow freedom of speech, freedom of association. And for the most part, we all stand for that, even if we agree to disagree. Even on January 6th or February 6th, as it's now known as in freedom and liberty as Americans. And we fight for it. Now, there will be those at the extremes. But the vast majority of us, I think, great pride and understanding that our democracy will only be as strong as our willingness, each one of us to fight for it. And when I introduce our country, that's what I see. I was waiting for some unburdening there. Did you notice that over the course of these two shows today, we played Kamala Harris in four different venues at a rally on a porn podcast, getting interviewed by 60 minutes. And on Stephen Colbert, all saying, in some fashion or another, the exact same one line talking point about traveling the country. She's got nothing. She's got nothing. And she's never going to have anything. We need to lighten the mood here. I need something a little bit fresher that's going to, you know, really get my senses of tingling. Oh, look, I have a clip of Killdog, Hillary Clinton. Bitching this week about how if Kamala Harris fucks this up and they lose their opportunity to center the shit out of all of us into oblivion, that the Democrats. Yeah, the Democrats will lose control and never be able to get it back. Let's hear Killdog. The platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are. If they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control. And it's not just the social and psychological effects. It's real harm. Fuck you. I hate you. Me too. Me too. So does Nella. Yeah. We're not afraid to say, you know, we're not afraid to say also, guys, wherever you listen to the podcast, they last call. Do us a huge favor.

You'll never miss out on all the great stuff we've got going on down here at steak for breakfast. Like our interview incoming with the senior editor at large at Newsweek, Mr. Josh Hammer. All right, round of things out now, we are going to lighten the mood. I got a couple clips of commentary from two members of the Trump family. I don't know if you saw this weekend, but well, Melania Trump has been getting interviewed by every single major player at Fox News. They're like, you know, having an interview with her for each of their shows. And this week was any difference. Big time Trump loyalist, Maria Bartolomo, and on her show Sunday Morning Futures sat down with the former and hopefully future First Lady to talk about what it meant to her or how important was it for Donald Trump to make his return to Butler, Pennsylvania. Let's hear it. In Trump going back to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the first assassination attempt, how do you feel about that? I think it's great. I support him and he is a fighter. He will never stop. He's on the go. Every day he's helping this country and he wants to make America great again, prosperous, safe. And I think the people of this country support him tremendously. And let's see what will happen on November 5th. I mean, why was it important for him to go back to Butler? I think he wants to finish what he came to do to finish his remarks, his speech, and show that we will not stop, that one shooter will not stop him. You know, we don't talk about it enough. She looks absolutely marvelous. She sounds great and I've said it for a long time. She needs to be out there during the home stretch here. Don't you agree, Noah? Yes, she needs to be out there more often. She's a game changer. She really is. People get captivated on her speaking. She's brilliant. You know, knows several languages is an esteemed scholar outside of the modeling she had done in the past because she is a beautiful person. That the Democrats seem to, you know, it's okay when like a 55 year old man is wearing like a bondage mask with a zipper mouth and has a ball gag in and some ash cheekless chaps. And they're dong, just flopping around at a pride parade in front of children. That's fine. But God forbid, Melania Trump in a past life, you know, did some news as part of her modeling endeavors. I just think it's disgusting the way that there's a double standard. But I think that, you know, her being out there just involved in the race at this point, this juncture is just a reminder to how elegant the first lady was, you know, the misery that they've made her life. They almost assassinated her husband. They've demonized all of their kids. You know, they've done a lot of stuff to her personally with her bank accounts. And they rated her house and went through her entire family's belongings when the FBI went down to Mar-a-Lago back in 2021. It's just, you know, if you think that Donald Trump is doing this alone or that, you know, he wants it more than maybe his other family members, well, obviously you've heard all of his grown children talk about it. Obviously, it looks like Baron Trump is chumming at the bit to get into this and Melania's kind of held him out in some context, which I think he's good. He's a young guy, just turned 18. It's probably not the best. The stick is neck out there, both figuratively and literally in such a toxic climate. But having her in any context involved in a race right now, I think is a big win for the campaign for America First and everything moving forward. Eric Trump was out and stumping along, and he, oh my God, Donald Trump just put out on his true social account, all caps. You ready for this one? No, it's a quickie. Yeah. Anybody that cheats on elections is going to jail. Nice. We don't deserve him. Eric Trump jumped on with Jesse Waters last night on Fox News, and he was talking about the same thing. Donald Trump's return to Butler, Pennsylvania, what it meant for the family. And again, we don't get that personal insight. Donald Trump really does an open up that door. He talks about, in some context, the emotional level, you know, how his wife and kids responded, but we just don't get like a personal, and that's private family stuff. But Eric kind of was a little bit more colorful than Donald Trump has been talking about the incident itself, and how proud he would have his dad heading back up to Butler this weekend. Let's hear it. This is incredible. I've never been more, so I've never been more proud of my father in my entire life. I was saying as to Corey's wife, his two beautiful daughters, you had his, literally his firefighting uniform up in the corner, it's actually up there at the corner of the screen. It was a beautiful, beautiful moment. People, as far as the eye could see, I went out there on stage right before he spoke with Laura. I couldn't see the end of the crowd. There was at least 100,000 people there. They were going crazy. Unlike the guests that you just played, these are not stupid people. In fact, they're the extremely smart people. They're amazing people. They're people that love this country, love our nation, and want to see America get put first again. And we're not getting put first. We are falling behind in absolutely everything we do. And it's infuriating to all of them. And that's why it's not a political movement, Jesse. This is a movement of total love. These people love my father. He's not a politician. He's not a politician to them. He's literally a savior of this country, the one person who will take every literal and figurative bullet for this nation time and time again. It's funny, you just watch Hillary Clinton talking about being the arbiter of truth. I mean, this is a person who literally wrote a dirty dossier about my father and yet she's the arbiter of truth. And every single one of those people in the crowd recognizes that. They recognize the games that the Democrats play. They recognize how they put this country last. They recognize when Kamala Harris wants to give residents of North Carolina $750 as their home floats down a river. They recognize that Donald Trump kept them out of wars. They recognize that my father cut taxes in ways that no one has ever done. A large tax cuts in the history of the nation. They recognize that under my father, they had 2.5% interest rates as opposed to 10% interest rates now. They recognize under my father, inflation wasn't out of control. You could afford to buy a 2x4 at Home Depot. You could afford eggs. You could afford bacon. And they also realize that this man does not need this job and goes out tirelessly every single day to fight for each and every single one of them. And that's why he's not a politician in their eyes and that's why they adore him and that's why they came out in record numbers and that's why you had the emotion in that crowd that you had on that night. I mean, their hero almost lost his life. Some gunman almost took him from all of them and all of us. It's big. You don't really get to see that vernacular into the Trump family for as public as they've been and for how long they've been doing it. The privacy within their own home is something that I think they really do cherish. People have accused it of being absent. They're just literally celebrities, whether they're at home taking a shower or sleeping in their bed and whether they're out in public doing interviews or rallies and stuff. I don't think so. You know, I've seen the way Donald Trump interacts with his grandkids. And I know that there's a lot of love in that home. And there was a lot of concern, not only in the wake of Butler, but what it meant moving forward. Obviously, a few short weeks later, we'd see another attempt on President Trump's life. Who knows how many have been in between that that haven't been told to the American public for probably things to do or deal with national security and protecting him and his family. But you can take out of context the importance level of the last couple weeks that we're in here. I think we've kind of laid it out for you guys in the best way we can here on Steak for Breakfast. So as we're getting ready to close out the episode, I do have a couple polls, Noah. Right now, Pauli Market's showing. And again, this isn't a poll. This is scientifically, it's not a poll. It's the betting on where the money's going to go, which seems to be a little bit more accurate than the actual polling right now. Republican sweep, presidency House Senate is up to 32%, and that's in contrast to the Democrats who are only at 20% for the sweep. Remember, the Mendoza line for the Democrats is 25%. Anytime it's around there, they're almost assured an election loss. So that's good news, right? Yeah. And then I saw since the Butler rally, Donald Trump is now up at an all-time high in Pennsylvania. The odds he wins the state, according to Pauli Market, are at 12%. Donald Trump, 56, Kamala Harris, 44. And again, with Georgia and North Carolina looking like they're trending towards Trump, if he wins Pennsylvania by any margin, it's over for Kamala Harris, and it's going to be over early. And then the last one I've got is Trump's head-to-head lead, according to Pauli Market. It's up to 8.6 following the Butler weekend, 54% to 45.4%. And that's where the money is being bet on right now. So as we're getting ready to wrap up today's two big podcasts and jump in with our last guest, the editor in chief at large at Newsweek, Mr. Josh Hammer, and as our last audio clip of the day, I pulled a clip from Joe Rogan from his episode that comes out today. It's Cali Means and Joe Rogan talking about a little bit on what the Donald Trump RFK Jr. Elon Musk Alliance means and more. Let's check it out. Here's the key point I want to make from my small vantage point here. They had weeks of conversations, and there was not a discussion of polling. There was not a discussion of the horse race and how this would impact the race. These were tear-filled conversations about why kids are getting so diabetic, about why we have such obese children in the United States, about why we have a fertility crisis. This was a true connection of these two men and a true, deep bond, which I think you're seeing out there in the campaign trail, that this transcends politics, and Trump wants this to be a generational issue for him. And I just want to say something. I think we're at a big moment here. We're debating trivia. I think the two most existential issues are nuclear war or what's happening to our health. And whatever you think, and I used to be a never-trumper, watching him care about this issue, watching what's happening with the RFK, watching what's happening of how that's resonating with voters, seeing from my small vantage point inside, there is tremendous connection of these two men and moral clarity of seeing what's happening. And my question is this, and to anyone kind of considering voting in this election, Trump is going to say stupid shit. He is Trump. We know who he is. There's two important questions to ask. Who sees this corruption and institutional capture that's going to destroy our country, I think, to an existential level, and who is willing to suffer that blowback? And we'll leave it at that. I thought it's some great insight right there on two people who have been outside of the MAGA 10, who have now come under the widening of it. Noah, what do you think? Yeah. Everybody already knows that Trump gets a little bit boombastic and... And bellishes a little bit sometimes? I like it. That's fine. But where were you four years ago? Better or worse? It's one question you have to ask. And listen, there are two N words. We don't say either one here on State for Breakfast, but much like Kylie Means said right there. The next war, America formally enters will be a nuclear one, and that spells disaster for the whole planet. There's one person who kept our nuclear adversaries at bay. You might not have liked the methodology he used to get there, but the fact that the matter is no war started under Donald Trump, something we hadn't seen from a president from either side of the aisle in over a hundred years. So, again, positive note to end the beginning of our week podcast. We'll see how things shake out by the time we get to Friday's two shows. We're getting ready to jump in with Newsweek's Josh Hammer right now, but before we do, a final check-in with one of our partners.

Alright, joining us next on the show today is a big Tuesday edition of the State for Breakfast podcast. He is the senior editor at large at Newsweek. He's also the host of the Josh Hammer show in America on trial with Josh Hammer. I'll give you three guesses on who's about to join us, but I could surely tell you it's Mr. Josh Hammer. Welcome back. Always a pleasure. Thanks so much for having me. Love to host, and we've got a lot to catch up on. Listen, Josh, we can start off just about anywhere you want to with the general election and how we're now a month away from whether we're going to find out if Donald Trump and Donald Trump are going to join us. We're going to find out if Donald Trump or Kamala Harris is going to win this White House. You know, whether it's Donald Trump jumping ahead of the current administration in regards to showing what leadership look like in regards to the hurricane that happened last week, the one that's on the pike, and coming down, barreling on Florida right now, where a lot of our leadership comes from as well. His tramper returned to Butler, Pennsylvania last week, introducing Elon Musk in a more formal context of the political arena. Wherever you want to start, let's just kind of jump in because we're in a finite amount of time before, you know, people are voting right now in real time. And this is getting dead serious and we're going to have a new president of the United States in just about four short weeks. It's the home stretch of all home stretches, isn't it? I couldn't even tell you the first time that I remember hearing about the 2024 election. It might have been literally the day after the 2020 election ended. It's been seemingly the longest and most interminable campaign of my lifetime, presumably many others lifetime as well. So it's really hard to believe that this is really yet that we are in the home stretch. Look, some very top level national horse race observations. I continue to think that this is Donald Trump's race to lose. And I have a number of reasons for thinking that. One is that here in this home stretch, and as you as you as you as truly pointed out, many people have already started to vote, but which by the way, the early voting numbers and I want to caution by saying you don't want to put too much stock on early voting numbers because it ultimately can not necessarily militate the way that it's just, but, but Republicans are currently voting early in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The name is most important swing state the cycle at a much, much greater rates than they were in 2020. So I don't want to necessarily give false optimism if that doesn't hold, but that is that is noteworthy in and of itself. But the broader reason I think that I am more optimistic is because the race right now, statistically, according to the pollsters, is just a total coin flip. Donald Trump is leading in most of the sun belt swing states, and he is either truly tied or literally within like one point in the rust belt swing states. Here are the things here. One, I simply do not think that pollsters have fixed their structural methodological flaws from 2016 and 2020. I have seen no reason whatsoever for thinking that they have done that. My friend, Ryan Grudusky, has done some great work over at his substath national populist newsletter where he has shown that these pollsters are tending to oversample elderly senior citizen liberals in particular and under sampling elderly senior citizen that MAGA Republicans. So I don't think the pollsters have gotten it right. And then the other reason for my cautious optimism on behalf of Donald Trump and JD Vance is that in an election like this, the late breaking voters. Pretty much always disproportionately vote against the incumbent party. They pretty much always vote against the incumbent administration. The people who are kind of scratching their head, they're stressing out. They go into the ballot box. Maybe I'm not sure who they're going to vote for. They usually then vote against the party in power. And for all these reasons, there was actually an article. It was other for Gallup or Pew, one of the major pollsters a couple weeks ago. I forgot which the two it was, which basically stated the obvious, which is that this election is contested on the fundamentals as do right track wrong. Do right track wrong track, approval rating on the issues, any of the above. Donald Trump should win this thing in a landslide. Now, I'm not going to go ahead and say he's going to get three to fifty electoral college votes. But I do think that if the election were held tomorrow, that Donald Trump would win. And I think you're starting to see some of that swagger on the campaign trail, including the Elon Musk thing, as you mentioned. Yeah, you know, it's funny. We talk about it. Well, let's go back to start. Me and Noah opened up today's show, Josh, our first episode of the podcast, joking about how all the way back in 2020, shortly after Donald Trump announced, he would begin the rally circuit and be like, oh, my God, how are we going to do this for like two and a half years? And here we are. Butler marking just under or just over a month before we head to the elections on November five. And, you know, it seems to have taken forever, but at the same time, flown by. You know, and then you look at some of the things that you had mentioned at these poll numbers, they just don't match up. You see Donald Trump. He's nearing double digit margins and a lot of the issues that matter, whether it be the economy, whether it be the border, whether it be reestablishing geopolitical footing, you know, and not in instances where the things that really don't matter, like pronouns and reproductive rights and all those other garbage that they kind of want to throw in their threats to democracy. But then they'll put out the national poll and those take them all. Harris is up one. They're either tied. Donald Trump is up one, et cetera. It's like the numbers don't match. They don't really resonate in the polls. I do think, much like you said, the work also that Ryan Dredeski has done over the last couple of years to kind of fix, I guess, the way we look at polling, that Donald Trump should be pulling away and will probably see more of a heading up to election day. But do you think this is going to be as tight as possibly can be, especially in places like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, let's just say Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and everything in between? Look, I do think that it's going to come down to those Rust Belt states above all. I think that Donald Trump continues to be in good shape in the Sun Belt states. I would be shocked at this point if he does not win Georgia and Arizona. I've got a good feeling about Nevada, but Nevada, historically, they difficult state to poll. And Republicans have not won it at a presidential level in 20 years, so I would caution against pointing too much hope in Nevada, but certainly what we're seeing is looking pretty good for the most part. North Carolina is a variable if for no other reason than this horrific hurricane and a lot of these counties that have been impacted are largely red Trump supporting county. So that definitely is a variable, but I nonetheless still feel costly optimistic about North Carolina as well. And if all that holds, then all Trump has to do is win one of these three big Rust Belt states. He doesn't need to win all three of them. He doesn't have to win Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. He literally only has to win one of the three. Correct. To me, Pennsylvania is the most obvious one. To me, Pennsylvania, I think it's very difficult to see a path to victory for either candidate that does not go through Pennsylvania. Historically, the big swing states have been Ohio, Missouri, once upon a time Florida famously. Right now, right now, it really is those Rust Belt states and Pennsylvania above all. I think the Kamala Harris decision, by the way, to not pick Josh Shapiro instead of Tim Walz. It's just looking doubly, triply, quadruply, boneheaded in retrospect. I still cannot believe that she did that, but fortunately, it stands to benefit Donald Trump and JD Vance. No, it certainly has. I mean, she would have had someone that could articulate more than a word salad on the campaign trail with her. In addition, someone that is in a state that it looks like Donald Trump is finally starting to, I guess in this election cycle, pull away from the grasp of the Democrats. When you talk about the assaults on just the generic economy, the energy industry, manufacturing, agriculture, things of that nature, if it's not completely erasing the industry from the American platform, then it's regulating them out of oblivion as well and making life just sustainable in a lot of these battleground states. I think Pennsylvania is the best example of it. In this cycle, as I see Donald Trump heavily focused on the Keystone State, and we'll have to see how it resonates over the course of the next couple of weeks. All right, Josh, I do want to segue a little bit. Yesterday we had the October 7th, the one year. I don't want to call it anniversary, but a memory of what happened when Hamas facilitated one of the largest terrorist attacks in the history of our planet on the people of Israel. Obviously over 1,400 people were murdered brutally. There are still hostages who are in possession of the terrorist organization. The Biden regime and Kamala Harris have done nothing to strengthen our ties with the nation of Israel over the course of last year, as they've responded in the way that they feel fit. Armchair quarterbacking them, holding up munitions and other components of relief, and then just not being there with them figuratively on the world stage. Like Donald Trump would do in a lot of instances, stand shoulder to shoulder with our strongest ally and only democracy in the region. You would see Donald Trump meet with Benjamin Netanyahu a couple of weeks ago down at Mar-a-Lago. He participated in an event for remembering the tragedy down at Daral last night. But when you see optically, Joe Biden led a candle. Kamala Harris has some stuff to say about it on a tarmac. It doesn't really resonate. The current regime in regards to geopolitical policies, especially regarding Israel, that they're doing any favors for our ally heading into the selection cycle as well. So I was there at Daral last night. I was at that event. Awesome. Yeah, it was great to be there. It's actually the venue where my wife and I got married last December. So, funnily enough, this event was held in the room where we had the cocktail hour for our wedding. So it was very nice to be back there. You know, I'm part of the Jewish Voices for Trump coalition on the campaign there. Look, I've been very outspoken on this for years. I wrote an op-ed for the New York Post about a week and a half, two weeks before the 2020 election, saying that Donald Trump is the most pro-Jewish president, likely ever. But at least as far back as Abraham Lincoln, who is famously Bible Semitic, pro-Jewish, arguably as far back as George Washington himself, who is very much of the same persuasion. I mean, I'm not going to waste the listener's time by talking on and on about what Donald Trump did for U.S. Israel relations and for the safety and prosperity of American Jews in general there. But suffice to say, he is a stalwart friend, a stalwart ally. And for the folks who say that he is a crypto-closet, fascist, goiper, Nazi sympathizer, I basically say this to those people. Like, y'all do realize his daughter converted to Orthodox Judaism. Like, but Donald Trump has Jewish grandchildren. I mean, like, people don't talk about this. Like, it's just so palpably absurd. And this event in Drowla's line was a really beautiful event. It was touching. My wife and I were -- we're actually brought the tears a few points there. Miriam Adelson introduced President Trump, and President Trump spoke beautifully. He very clearly said that this would never have happened. That is, October 7th would never have happened under my watch, that he will never allow something like this to happen ever again. He will never allow another Holocaust against the Jewish people in America or anywhere else, God forbid. And he's just an undeniable friend. And you compare that to the other side and the Harris Wall's ticket and just the broader Obama-Biden-Harris Wall's foreign policy mentality. I mean, it represents the exact opposite. I mean, they're going all in for the Iranian regime. Basically, any and all costs, which is the one regime, that is a true menace at this point in the region. And they are constantly threatening to kneecap Israel basically while they're in the middle of an existential defense of war. Which actually makes sense from their own cynical perspective when you look at the current polling in the Democratic Party. Which by like a two and a half or three to one margin now says they are more sympathetic to the Arabs than they are to Israel itself. So I guess it makes sense when they're trying to just appease their rapidly pro-Hamas pro-Hazballa base. But it doesn't exactly make sense as a matter of basic human decency, frankly. No, I agree with you. I mean, I don't think Joe Biden honestly gives a crap anymore. But when you try to see Kamala Harris tiptoe through that fine line of like not saying she's against what Israel is doing. But at the same time, not wanting to offend the Muslim or Arab communities. It's just an absolute, I mean, Donald Trump just comes out there and flat out shows where his alliance, where the support of the American people should be focused on. You know, he always tries to, I guess, hold the Jewish community to account and saying, like, listen, this guy's this big election coming up. You've got to remember, look at what's going on right now. You have to remember who has your guys back. It's obvious tonight, not these guys. They're going to empower Iran to the points where we get nuclear proficiency. And then at that point, there's no toothpaste that's going back in the tube. It's going to be an absolute disaster for the region and for the world. And Donald Trump has been sounding the alarm on that for a number of years. Yeah, so it's interesting and so far as the current situation, Middle East, is precarious. No doubt about that. Israel's currently fighting a seven-front war. I can't deny it is literally seven fronts. It's Gaza, Lebanon, the Iran-backed militias in J and Samaria, AK at the West Bank. So that's three. Then you have Iran-backed militias in both Syria and Iraq. You have the Houthis in Yemen and then you have the head of the snake Iran itself. So it's a seven-front war, which is quite intimidating and ultimately probably not sustainable. The silver lining is that it's actually all coming from one place, which is Tehran. They really are the origin, the wellspring of all of the evil currently in that region. That was not always the case. Once upon a time, a lot of the Arab countries were horrific in their own right. Saudi Arabia used to be terrible. They used to export a lot of radical Islamist clerics all around the world. Most of the nationals who flew those airplanes into the Twin Towers were from Saudi Arabia. That's just no longer the case. The Middle East is a very changed region than it was as recently as 15, 20 years ago. So that is a silver lining is that it's actually a fairly narrow concern is Iran right now. And on that issue, again, the contrast cannot possibly be starker. The Biden-Harris administration is quite literally compromised actually by Iran. So this is an underappreciated piece of reporting by Jay Solomon at Semaphore in September 2023, just over a year ago talking about this elaborate infiltration, this infiltration spy operation that the Iranian regime has orchestrated whereby people have gone into positions of power in think tanks and within the administration itself who are taking orders either directly or indirectly from Iran. In fact, Robert Malley, the Obama administration and the Biden administration's point man on US-Iran relations is allegedly part of this. So we literally have a subversive pro-Iran actor within the administration. And you compare that with Donald Trump, who at a rally, I believe was in North Carolina the other day, basically said that if he were telling Netanyahu what to do, he would say go for the nuke sites. What are you waiting for? So I mean, I mean, the contrast here just cannot be starker. Yeah, it certainly can't. And then as we kind of round up with you here, Josh, you're actually been doing a lot of research. I mean, you're one of the leading experts that we bring on the show for this region and obviously with topics like this. And you know, you're working on a new book that's looking to come out at some point in the near future. Why don't you talk to our listenership a little bit about that? Yeah, thank you. So I'm just now finally finishing the manuscript. And God willing, this book will come out in March. It is called Israel in Civilization, the fate of the Jewish nation and the destiny of the West. I'm deliberately using the term Israel slightly broader than just referring to the modern nation state, but really just referring also to the nation of Israel, the Jewish people as a whole. And what I essentially argue in the book is that Western civilization, as we understand that today begins at Sinai with God's revelation to Moses and the ancient Israelites, and that the Jewish people have therefore been instrumental in the broader biblical, geo-Christian inheritance, which to me is roughly synonymous with Western civilization today. And we get into current events. We get into foreign policy. We get into US Israel relations, Middle East, all that there. But ultimately what I'm getting at here and what my concluding chapter of the book is arguing is that only a broad-based alliance between the two peoples of the book between Jews and Christians alike, only this broad-based biblical alliance is capable of uniting to withstand the three hegemonic forces that seek to destroy us, which in my view are, in no particular order, global neo-liberalism, Islamism and wokism. Those are the three big threats. We need a Jewish Christian alliance of the peoples of the book in order to unite and withstand those threats. Wholesomeness, family, getting back to the church. It's the only way you're going to be able to combat the three things that you just talked about. And it's going to take a lot of that American resolve, some of the same resolve we see coming out of the nation of Israel historically. That's going to get us over the finish line and really push back on some of these ideological exponents that are going to make a difference here and get this country back on track. Starting with, hopefully, another Trump administration in January of 2025 as well. Josh has always great catching up with you. We've got everything live linked in the show description today.
