This is not nom, this is bowling, they're a rule. - Hey, hey, hey, junior, America! (crowd cheers) - It's like four-- - Bestest. - So stand by. - All right, everybody. Welcome back to the State for Breakfast podcast. If you're a first time listener, welcome to the show. If you're a long time listener, welcome back to America's Fastest Growing. And quickly becoming favorite political podcast. Getting ready to get things started on our second of two big podcasts today. If you're hearing this one for the first time, don't worry, we'll see you in a little bit. Go check out episode 474. We hosted Elizabeth Pippko from the Trump campaign in the RNC. We also cut up with congressional candidate Joe Ken. We're gonna be getting things started today in the Sunshine State with one of our favorite congressmen. He represents Florida's seventh congressional district and welcoming back representative Corey Mills. Thanks for coming on the show. - Thank you. - Oh, it's always a pleasure and an honor, especially with all the great work that you've been doing, not just congressionally, Corey, but a lot of the work coming out of the hurricane relief and disaster efforts that you've been right at the forefront of tip of the spear, to say the very least. And before we get into anything political, why don't you give our listenership a little bit on some of the work that you've been doing, coming out of Hurricane Helene and Milton in Florida, in North Carolina and any of the other places that you've been. And what it looks like currently on the ground for people who are still reeling, coping with the loss of nearly all, if not everything, they had possessions, material-wise, or family members in the most tragic cases. - Well, you know, we've been trying to continue to step off where FEMA's left off in Western North Carolina. They really had a devastating storm that came through between the increase, and I mean, it was a rapid increase in water levels for flooding and homes being washed away. They also had mud and land floods that also took the lives and homes and communities of money. And so our team and I went over with the help of Glenn Beck, Mercury One, and others with two red-rewing helicopters and delivered over 23,000 pounds worth of food, water, non-perishable generators, 2,000-plus Starlink systems connectivity to try and get our mission person's list down, dropping things like insulin for type 1 diabetics, and also oxygen for those who are trapped in some of the higher mountain areas, but also just providing surge arrest emissions and medical events, the lead of medical events, multiple people to Johnson City Hospital where they could get live-saving treatment. - So, voice operations were done, coordination with local residents and fire departments. And I mean, we traveled all through Western North Carolina from Vanderbilt to Alberta Broad-Toe to South-Toe, to Asheville, to Chello, to Burnsville, to Pensacola, you know, across the area, and many are absolutely left with devastation. And even Shimly Rock, that cave in Black Mountain area, I mean, you had entire communities that were eliminated. So, if they were in this incident, unfortunately, like normal, the federal government didn't come to the aid of the American people, they were more worried about coming to the aid of the American last agenda. So, you know, fast forward to Milton, impacted my home state here in Florida, impacted my district that I was flooding. I was without power for a number of days. And so, we've been taking, you know, semi-trailics worth of goods and non-perishable, even toys, I mean, you know, people still understand that in some of these places, the families have lost everything, and a child just being able to hug a teddy bear, have toys, or having some type of normalcy, really does help things. And so, same thing, just, you know, it's watching repeat when it comes to what we're doing here, and we're, in the great city of Florida, we've got one of the greatest governors America could ever ask for, and so, our response, our recovery effort from things are much more rapid. But North Carolina's gonna need quite a bit of time to recover and heal. You know, I can't say enough, thank you's on behalf of our listenership for the job that you've done, providing relief to these families. Like you said, it comes in the form of critical things, like being emergency airlifted or insulin, all the way up to the necessities, food, and water, but sometimes down to the little details that a lot of people forget about, and that could be the toy in the hand of a young one who's lost, you know, all their rolling possessions or, God forbid, a family member in such a tragic event. And then, you know, Congressman, I heard you lead in with the job that FEMA stopped doing, or has been incomplete in doing. I do wanna talk about the federal response. You know, in the wake of this thing, pretty much as soon as the drops stopped falling in a lot of the states affected, you saw President Trump first in North Carolina with Franklin Graham, one of your Congressional counterparts, Mike Collins, former U.S. Senator Kelly, all for amongst others. And then he was down in Georgia in the Peach State with a collaborative effort with Governor Brian Kempas. They've kind of put their harsh feelings towards each other, behind each other, and both understand the importance of the upcoming election. When you talk about optics in the wake of, you know, tragedies like this, and you can't really speculate on what the totality of the damages or the loss of life, or just loss of communities is gonna be. But just the lack of response and the unaccountability by the Biden-Harris administration, it seems like leaders lead, and Donald Trump did exactly what he was supposed to do. People like yourself jumped right into the fray, put the safety of yourself at risk in providing relief for these people. And then when it comes to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Angeljandro Mayorkas, who sits at the top of DHS, and of course is in charge of FEMA, it just seems like it's just another big fat F on the report card for all three of them across the board. - Well, I mean, look, it's really a clear juxtaposition between what the America First Agenda looks like and what the America Last Agenda looks like. The problem is, is that we also have to recognize that this is not as clear and cut and dry as just saying, oh, well, Republicans are on the America First Agenda and Democrats on the America Last Agenda. Yeah, we can definitely blanket that when it comes to Democrats. But there's a lot of Republicans who also don't step up and answer the call. That's part of the problem. And so, you know, my issue is that I want to continue to try and help those in need, but I want them to also encourage other members when they see my actions to join me in that and to understand that, you know, we have to rebuild confidence in government by going out and not just being a politician who says, I would have, I could have, I should have been pointing fingers at the other side. But being a statesman, a representative, who actually leads by action, who's out there hitting their hands dirty, hoisting themselves out of line and trying to get those in need, bringing in, you know, goods and products and willing to spend your own time, your money, your treasures. I mean, this is what I've found in fathers intended for our legislative branch. And I just want to set that example and hope that others will follow. Yeah, it doesn't take a lot to just, you know, lend a hand and provide some need for people that really need it, especially when we've seen how much money has gone endlessly to places like Ukraine over the course of the past four plus years. And the lack of response, let's just say, other instances, I'm talking about the fire out in Hawaii. Obviously, East Palestine, Ohio comes to mind as well. You know, Corey, there's a lot of things that have been going on geopolitically over the course the last 48 to 72 hours. I do need to touch with you on a couple of them. First of all, we saw yesterday, the leader of Hamas was killed in the Gaza Strip. And, you know, when you talk about someone who's been at the head of the organization even before they were politically official, it seems like now Israel has completed eliminating leadership. I mean, we all know being backed by Iran with a lot of their, you know, senior leadership being in other countries that are friendly with Hamas and Hezbollah as well. It makes it a little bit more difficult, but Israel has done a pretty good job of their response to the terror attack that happened a little over a year ago, you know. And that comes at the same time where a relationship between Israel and the United States is strained at levels. I've never seen it before in my lifetime. And I'm nearly 50 years old, you know, the armchair quarterbacking every single move in the media, putting out the statement saying that Israel's in the wrong for the response that they've conducted. I mean, you as someone who got into the hot zones and brought out people that were US citizens in Israel days, if not hours after the October 7th attack, you rescued one of our friends and brought her back to the United States as well here on the show, just kind of want to get, you know, how you've seen this administration fail to stand shoulder to shoulder with the largest democracy in our only ally in the region. And how this war is escalating to the point to where, you know, Israel is running out of targets to hit. At some point, it's going to be just Israel and Iran on the battlefield. - Well, you know, I think that that might not necessarily have to come to that. I mean, we do have President Trump who's coming back into office, God willing. And he obviously has continued to show through his demonstration with the Abraham Accords or the elimination of Qasem Soleimani, the Qudsport commander of Iran, or even Abu Mediyal Mahan, just the leader of the Iraq-based Iranian Shia militias that are there. He also listed the Houthi rebels as a terrorist organization. Again, these are the things that the Harris-Biden administration has eliminated by one eliminating their designation as a terrorist organization, two not standing shoulder to shoulder as they should, but I applaud Netanyahu and the Israeli IDF who has said, you know what? We're going to continue our rights to defend ourselves and to eliminate the terrorist organizations. And they've done so whether it be with the Sun, the Shraller, whether it be with Hamas leaders or Hezbollah or looking at, you know, how Iran's aggression is ramped up. And I think that's what's actually going to keep Iran at bay more so than actually lead to a wide scale attack. And I think that other allies, and especially in Arab coalition, needs to come together that allows things like the Abram accords to grow. And so I think that Israel is doing what they need to do right now to not only survive, but to eliminate the terrorist organizations and also to send a clear and definitive message to Iran that we won't tolerate you at the largest state sponsor of terror. And when Trump comes back and our administration is running things that we will ensure that Iran knows that they cannot continue to disrain of terror across the world. - Yeah, I think you're definitely right there. You know, when you talk about the elimination of yeah, yes and more yesterday in the Gaza Strip, I mean, this is someone that I remember on television all the way back when I was a young child, you know, coming up and through the ranks and in the terrorist organization and the close ties to Iran all the way up to, I think with the elimination of JISN war in the Gaza Strip yesterday and the amount of leadership that Israel's been able to take out, I mean, obviously Iran is still quarterback and everything there. I do think, you know, there's a lot of evidence that would lead to the fact that this conflict can come to an end, at least the people could stop dying. You know, after the November elections and heading towards January of next year President Trump comes back to the White House, but I guess we're gonna have to wait and see. You know, Corey, one of the things that I wanna talk to you about, you know, there was also this week released by the Department of Homeland Security, a scathing report, a lot of the allegations that you and other congressional counterparts that you've worked directly with this on, namely Eli Crane, people like Congressman Tim Burchard from Tennessee as well, in regards to the assassination attempt on President Trump that happened up in Butler, Pennsylvania. You know, all the things that Republicans had alleged knew that were going on in regards to leadership and the disconnectiveness of them and the people on the ground, the inability or unwillingness to work with state and local law enforcement to secure these events safely for President Trump all seemed to be the case. Now, as someone who is working independently on this, I still think it's a little bit comical that you weren't allowed with your expertise and background to be allowed on the actual commission, with Congressman Crane, with Congressman Burchard working towards an independent solution and transparency for the American people, how great of a confirmation is it to see, essentially what you guys had already knew but the American public was waiting for, and then where do we go from here? Is it too late in this administration to hold anyone accountable? And are we really not looking at big changes in places like the Secret Service, obviously the Department of Homeland Security until January of next year? - I think we absolutely cannot allow this not to have someone to be held accountable. I think that we also have to understand that while all these findings and reports are great, that it's still understand that we have a culture that we have to shift away from this DEI prioritization back to meritocracy and also we have to identify with the fact that the white paper concept of operations and doctrine of the Secret Service is flawed, whereby it is not a one-size-fits-all if you're a former president, you get assets and resources, or if you're an ex, whatever, you're getting ex-resources and assets, it needs to be determined upon the level of threat in which that individual poses to himself or what a terrorist organization is looking to do to target this individual. And then once you've got those analytics, you put together a risk mitigation matrix that then says in order to keep him or her safe, I need to give them ex-resources and why assets and an effort to try and mitigate these threats. And so, you know, it's a cultural shift there. It's a failure in leadership and it's a doctrine issue that we have to look at. And I think also, you know, George W. Bush is the one who actually put things like FEMA under DHS or, you know, we don't need to have buckets of things. We can have things that are standalone assets that can be overseen by Congress or by the executive branch, where we can actually get more responsibility to be held where it's supposed to be to grab accountability. So it's great to be able to understand that they identify the things that we identified, but now it's about fixing those to ensure that it doesn't happen in the future. And I don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat who is running for president or who is president, everyone deserves the right to be able to run in politics without fear of losing their lives. - Oh, it's the absolute truth. And then, you know, just in your opinion, Congressman, how fearful are you still? Are you for president Trump when he's out there on the campaign trial? I know they've put some of the ballistic shielding around him at the outside of events. Obviously, people are getting a lot, vetted a lot harder before they can get into them, whether they're inside or outside affairs. But for the amount of hands that have to touch those kind of locations and the amount of people, you know, 50 to 100,000 at any given day at a Trump event right now, as we saw both in places like Arizona and Coachella, California, just last weekend, you know, it has to be worrisome to say the least on the safety level that they're being able to provide for president Trump right now, as we're running less than three weeks away from election day. - Well, I can tell you, the one thing that I've noticed, which is really, really good, and I was just talking to Glenn Beck recently, who said that he was with the president, he'd never seen so much security for a former president and such a level of, you know, kind of these concentric rings that were built out. And so it's good to be able to see that we're getting that shift, but also I'll give credit to President Biden on this. It was long overdue, it's a day late, a dollar short in my opinion. But I was happy to hear him say that if Iran does try and actually assassinate a former president or a presidential candidate, he's gonna consider that to be an act of war. - Sure. - I think that those are very good. And it's one of the first times that I've seen him do a very strong message that's not something like, well, don't, or here's the red line, right? I mean, you remember his famous saying, as was with Kamala Harris and the rest, where they'd say, "What if Iran does this?" And he says, "Don't." Well, this was very, very clear that he considered an act of war. I think that was a good first step. But I'm also seeing where, to be fair, President Biden realized that he's still a bit jaded from his ousting, and he's been naturally being a little bit more vocal about some of the things that Kamala and the rest are not probably liking. So, you know, it's kind of, it's an interesting campaign that's going on right now across the country. - It's been dasting to say the least to see Joe Biden's redemption arc and his separation from Kamala Harris by bringing her closer in with some of the rhetoric he's murmured out on the campaign trail over the course of the last couple of weeks, definitely since he's been pushed out of the Democrat nomination. All right, Corey, we killed all the topics we wanna crush with you on. So let's talk about the one that everybody's gonna be talking about for the next less than three weeks, and that's the presidential election. Listen, we here on "Stake for Breakfast," we know how it goes, we know what the methodology is, and what's gonna, it's gonna take to get this country back in the right track. That's Republicans retaining and extending the house majority, flipping the Senate back into Republican control, and getting Donald Trump back into the White House so we could streamline his legislative agenda and get this country going back in the right direction again. As you have ran, now your second congressional race in a row here, obviously this is hitting Congressman of Florida 7, and you're going through the motions, heading up to your election day, doing a lot of work on the ground for all of your constituents, and you see some of your counterparts in the upper chamber doing theirs to get that majority back in Republican, and obviously some commentary on the job that President Trump's done. It's been one of the most amazing comeback stories, expected from people like you and I, but for those who may not have been under the MAGA tent, let's just say, as recently as four years ago, this has just been absolutely fantastic, and incredible to watch. Give us a little commentary on how you see this race shaking out, how America has woken up since 2020, and what they finally realized about Kamal Harris, which is starting to show favorability in the polls, and the money markets for President Trump. - Well, I'll tell you, I mean, everyone wants to look at recent polls, and everyone kind of wants to look at these small bifers, or demographics, or individual battle states, but what I've been looking at is, what is the actual trend line pattern since 2012, when you go back to President Obama, and where you look at the Democrats, who've essentially ran the country the last 12, 16 years, ran into the ground. I think that you're noticing where people are leaning more and more and more to understanding that, when it comes to economy, the Republican party handles it much better. When it comes to black voters, for example, which President Trump is seeing a large jump, when it comes to minority voters, it's because they're tired of thinking that they're being taken advantage of, and their votes are being bought off, but yet they're never having the Democrats deliver, only more open promises, and I think that they're sick of that. So, people are waking up to the fact that, I'm not better now, I don't have more money in my pocket now, than I had before. I don't feel safer now, than I felt before. I don't feel that our borders are secured, and all the angel families spent all over doses, and things that I'm seeing before me, that didn't happen before. And so, what you're seeing is this trend lines, where areas that should be fairly safe for Kamala Harris, is actually not. You're seeing where black males are coming forward, saying you talk about what you're gonna do for opportunities for us, but you're the same person who is locking up over 1,500 of us for marijuana charges, you're trying to sentence it to life. And then, going on and talking to Snoop Dogg and Charlotte Maine, the God about how you smoked yourself during that time. So, she's called herself into a big bind. I mean, she can't run away from her responsibilities on the border, they can't run away from the inflation and economy, because she's in the BP, and they can't run away from the fact that they've continued to over-promise it under-deliver for minority communities. And so, I think that the trend line overall is going really well for the Republican Party. And I think that people realize that this is our last true election to either save this nation, or we may not have another election if they're able to pack the courts and eliminate the filibuster, and start eliminating electoral college for the popular vote. I mean, there's a lot of things that they could do, which would absolutely destroy the Republican, and we're at that tilting point. - No, we certainly are. And then, when you see the way this race is shaping up, I'll give you two different examples of it. President Trump is going to finish probably one of the most untraditional Republican races to the finish line here, in a presidential election, almost ever. Doing campaign stops in places like, well, last weekend, he had Trump Chilla out in Southern California. He's gonna be in New Mexico, in Virginia. In the Sapphire Blue City of Atlanta, Georgia, he's gonna be holding a major rally at the world's most famous arena in Madison Square Garden, just 10 days before the election. In addition to all the battleground states, and traditionally, red states, he's gonna be stopping in. You know, in addition to that, he's brought people under the MAGA tent that we, you know, just as early as last cycle, had wanted nothing to do with President Trump. That's Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. obviously, and several others. You know, the party seems pretty galvanized. And then you've got congressional house members and senators running all over the country in battleground districts, in bellwether districts, and in purple districts, trying to get those majorities extended, trying to flip the Senate back into Republican control. For the first time in a long time, Congressman, I see everybody kind of working hand in hand, and there's always gonna be people that we're gonna be able to armchair quarterback respectively. But when you look at the overall movement and how we're all heading towards the finish line here, you have to be pretty optimistic. Maybe not about what's gonna happen on election day, even though we're all pretty much expecting everybody to win, but the amount of work that's going in and the hands that are involved right now to make sure that we're leaving no stone on turn, where there was a lot of negative commentary on that coming out of 2020. - Yeah, I mean, I think that you definitely see what we're coming together, and we're kind of singing a more, you know, kind of unified approach or song, that it's, here's where we're at, here's where we were. Here's what happened in President Trump, here's what's happened under Biden, Harris, here's, and it's just such a clear juxtaposition between the team that people are able to see it and actually go for, you know, in a, you know, five manner. I do think, however, that you've got a lot of people who still try to ride the code cells of the president's, you know, popularity after that reason, that they're gonna get on board because it benefits me race. And I think that we have to identify that, you know, we have snakes within our actual party as well. I mean, that's the difference between, in my opinion, I always say I'm a constitutional conservative, even though I've been a registered poet in my whole life, because I think that Republican Party and Democrat Party's abandoned their real values and cause of the American people. But I like the fact that we're able to start at least coming together and backing our Republican nominee and realizing the real dangers that if we don't get this, you know, next presidency, that this could be the end of the Republic. And I think that they view that also not in an altruistic way, but as a self-preservation for their own seats, I think that they also, there's people in the Republican party who say, well, I need to support the president because I could tell you that under Kamala Harris, you know, the Republic is done. And, you know, also if he wins and then I won against him right in support of him, then I'm also at risk in my seat. But you still have the typical uni-party approach within there as well, as you know. - Well, hopefully we'll just start reading them out. And I think we can all agree here on the show. Cory Fur is ridiculously brutal as this election cycle has been everything from going all the way back to the Mar-a-Lago raid, the assassination of the 10th on President Trump's life. Obviously, the brutal, you know, slug fest that Donald Trump and Joe Biden had before he knocked him out and now taking on Kamala Harris, running all the way up to election day. The real actual hard work, the time when anyone's gonna have to start rolling up their sleeves and getting dirty happens on the back end of inauguration day next year, isn't that correct? - Well, that's exactly right. And again, you know, you always kind of have in mostly the administrations, you have the show ponies in the workhorses and the kind of key that is administrative comes in. I can tell you that under President Trump, he learned so much from his first presidency. And again, did more than almost any president in two full terms, let alone what he only had in one term to do, Abrams of Ford remained in Mexico, replacement of NAFTA, the USMCA, China phase one deal, looking at the tax reforms, looking at child credit, looking at different HBCUs, looking at what he did for the minority vote, looking at what he did in securing our borders, on shorting jobs, building the economy. I mean, the guy did more strengthening our military, rebuilding our strategic petroleum reserves, getting back to an American energy agenda. When you see that, you see it. That all was things that he benefited from on more towards the back end of his actual presidency. I think that coming in in this administration, he's going to put the workhorses in at the front because he knows what that state. So, and we're going to go in, we're going to make massive cuts to government spending, massive cuts to the deep state, nanny state and admin state. I think everything that we saw starting to come to fruition on the end of this first term is what we're going to see throughout the entire period of his second term. - Sure, no, you're absolutely right. But I also am in agreeance with you that this time, he's bringing along to the people that are willing to get their hands dirty and go in there and do the work on day one, instead of having to kind of navigate the swamp and figure out who's really on your side. And sometimes, unfortunately, it wasn't until President Trump actually hired these people and put them in high ranking, very highly publicized positions that he realized they weren't looking out for the American people and they weren't looking out for his administration as well. Listen, Corey, getting our second show started off today on a big Friday edition, less than three weeks away from election day here on Safer Records. We couldn't have asked for any better way to do it than when catching up with you. We'd like to have you on every week, but you're so busy. If you would just stop jumping out of helicopters and we're saving people's lives every once in a while and come on the show, we'd be a lot happier. But listen, when we can catch up with you, I'm sure our listenership is very appreciative. We've got both of your congressional and campaign websites live linked in the show description today. Where can we check you out on social media as well? - Well, social media, we've got retnills press as our official, we've got my personal on X, which is Corey Mills SL. We've got Mills for Florida on truth. And I've also got Corey Mills SL on Instagram. - And you heard him here today on the "Stake for Breakfast" podcast. This guy's the U.S. Congressman who's representing Florida's 7th congressional district. He bleeds red, white and blue representative Corey Mills. Thanks for coming on the show, sir. Have a great weekend, be safe out there. - Thank you so much, God bless you. - Oh, Shawna, they part of that's because she can't go through an interview and actually answer a question. Have it have any substance or meaning, despite being in the office for the last four years. Her records of Bismol, Biden's records of Bismol, they've been lazy, they haven't represented the country well at all. And I think more important than that, Shawna, my father has never been better than he is right now. I mean, he is so locked in. He is working so incredibly hard. He is on the campaign trail literally 20 hours a day. He's hitting every single state. His message is resonating unlike anything I've ever seen before. And I've been part of great campaigns obviously in 2016. And everything that he's accomplished, the man is absolutely on point. You saw what he did with Bloomberg today in that conference. I mean, the entire place in a place that you wouldn't have otherwise would have been, thought would have been friendly to him was literally eating out of his hands. And people just want our nation back. People want common sense restored in this country. People want red, white and blue and they want our freedom of speech back and they want civility back. - All right. Jump back into the news portion of the show here today. Getting things started with the news on the second of two big Friday editions of the State for Records podcast. I'm Ron Noah's here with me. - You know, well, we waited. We were patient. We finally caught up with Corey Mills and he absolutely hit it right out of the park. - Always. - The amount of work that that guy is doing, he's going from Trump events, disaster relief, campaigning in his own district and getting out and campaigning for others who are running for the House of Representatives right now. Just amazing work by that man, true hero, one of our Captain Americas here on State for Breakfast. And again, anytime we can catch up with him, it's a win for you guys, the listenership. So. ♪ What can I say, except you're welcome ♪ (laughing) It's only a very few times that we could use that one, but whenever we can, again, that's a win for you guys as well. We're gonna be jumping into some of the reactions here from Kamala Harris' interview with Fox News and Bret Baer, including Donald Trump's. And then we'll check out a little bit of the interview she did with Charlemagne the God this week. We'll talk about some poll numbers as well. That was Eric Trump, one of the first sons, leading into the segment and getting the news started here in our second edition of State for Breakfast. Don Jr. was also on Fox News later that night. And, well, had some pretty pointed words for Madam Vice President as Bret Baer, put it so frequently throughout the course of that interview. Let's check it out. She became unhinged. They're pulling her early because she got angry and couldn't answer even basic questions. She didn't just fail with Bret Baer. She failed on the view, Jesse, last week. Imagine how bad you have to be as a Democrat to go on the view and basically commit political suicide. She doesn't have it. Americans understand that. She'll tell you whatever you need to hear to get that vote, but she is the daughter of a Marxist professor. She is a radical San Francisco liberal. She has been in charge for three and a half years because she's not just a vice president. She's a vice president to the most absentee president in the history of the United States, someone who has spent over 40% of his time on the beach in Delaware. And, you know, not to mention the dementia. She could have done any one of these things over the last three and a half years, yet she did none of them. Why wait? She could have waited till day one on January 20th. Americans are suffering. Inflation is killing us. Wars are breaking out all over the world. Iran is endorsing her. Vladimir Putin is endorsing her because they understand that a week America is good for Iran. A week America is good for China. A week America is good for Russia. She's... - Nobody's detected. She's getting all of the best endorsements, don't you think, Dylan? - Yeah. - You know, I do have a clip of J.D. Vance and his reaction to it as well, but I think we wouldn't do it justice if we didn't read Donald Trump's post, which came out simultaneously, both on X and True Social. You ready for this one? - Mm-hmm. - You know, he was pissed last week going into this interview that they were even facilitating it, but I guess the tides have turned following how bad it was. Great job by Brett Baer in his interview with lion Kamala Harris. She has a massive and irredeemable case of Trump derangement syndrome, or better known as TDS. So bad, in fact, that she is barely able to talk about any other subject than the man who had the best economy ever, the strongest border in history, and who just got the unanimous endorsement of the US border patrol. It's me. Their endorsement was a tremendous honor. They said that comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory, and can't be allowed to do it again. She is also the worst vice president in history, but hopefully she will soon be gone. Again, congratulations to Brett Baer on a tough, but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally incompetent Kamala is. For the good of our nation, her inferior cognitive ability must be tested at once. Yeah. (laughs) Ooh, he got him all in there. Low IQ moron included. You know, and I wish there was something you could take away from this. It's like I said, I, in real time, developed what would be an appropriate answer that Kamala Harris could have given. It would have provided a mulligan for Joe Biden. It would have kind of opened up the door to what we might see under a Harris-Waltz administration, even though it would be a pathological lie. It would be a more appropriate way than to be like, Brett, you know. You know, it's Donald Trump, you know, orange man bad. I mean, he even asked her, like, he calls you the borders are. Why do you let him do that? And she's like, you think I let him do that? And he's like, well, you don't refute it. And then he tried to open up the door to immigration and she was like, now, Brett, threat to democracy. Come on now. Suckers and losers, folks. Ugly and awful. Not like our show, which is beautiful and wonderful. I promised JD Vance, and he had a little bit more of a scathing review of the Kamala Harris, Brett Barron, review. Let's check him out. She is, of course, the deciding vote and trillions of dollars of Joe Biden's spending. She bragged about being the last person in the room when major decisions were made. But we have to sort of step back and appreciate there is something pathological going on here. She has been in power for three and a half years. And when asked about how she would be different, she goes and talks about Donald Trump. And when it's pointed out, well, you've actually been in office for three and a half years. She says, well, you know, he's been talking about politics for 10 years. What is it in the mind of this person that can't just acknowledge that she has been in power for three and a half years and bears some responsibility as the sitting vice president for the condition that the country is in? Now, she could do any number of things. She could actually say, well, I think that things are a little bit better than you're giving me credit for. Or she could say, well, this wasn't totally my fault. Instead, she pretends that Donald Trump bears the responsibility for problems that happened while she was the sitting vice president. She does that about the border. She does that about the affordability of groceries. She does that about the chaos on the world stage. I've never seen a person who's running for president as the sitting vice president who pretends that she has nothing to do with the condition of the country she's been governing. - Again, this is all internally. The Harris campaign could have addressed all this. You know, but instead J.D. Vance says something and she'll be like, well, J.D. Vance got the job because Donald Trump's old vice president didn't want it anymore, you know, because Donald Trump on February 6th said that people should do bad stuff to Mike Pence. And the non-answers are really starting to have a negative effect on her campaign. And just remember how short it's been. Before we get into anything else, I do want to get into these poll numbers. We got the three-way split right now. The House of Representatives, the US Senate and the presidency, I'll tell you where they sit. For the first time, we are favored, and this is in Pauline Market. Again, these are not polls, there's no science behind it. This is where people who are betting on these races and where they think this race is going are putting money on, monetary bets. And you need to understand, my hypothesis on this is that these betting markets have forced the pollsters to report more accurately. You're not seeing on the Sunday morning newsletter, for instance, Donald Trump leading in nearly double digits in all of the major items and then being two points behind on Kamala Harris. As we've seen for so long, it just doesn't make any sense. Like I'm not a quantum physicist, but it's more like quantum retardery watching these people try to justify those numbers. So for the first time in this cycle, we're at 51% that the Republicans win the House, first time over 50%. The Senate's up to 80 from 77 last week, and the presidency now sits at 62%. For a three-way sweep, we sit at 44%. In the presidential poll, head to head matchup, Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris. Now remember, coming out of the debate, Kamala Harris had a five to seven percent margin over Donald Trump on where the money was be betting on, who's gonna be the next president of the United States, in just a month outside of that presidential debate. As of today, Donald Trump is at 62.1% favored to win the election over 38% for Kamala Harris, complete and total collapse. And then in the swing states, for the first time this cycle, Donald Trump is ahead in all of them. Arizona, 68% over 32%, Michigan, 55% over 45%. Georgia, 64% over 36%, Wisconsin, 54% over 46%. Pennsylvania, 60% over 40%. In Nevada, that's the one that flipped this week, and it flipped from 51.49 Kamala to 51.49 Trump. So again, you see the polls tightening. I don't think it's because it's the end of the election cycle 'cause it seemed at least historically in the case of Donald Trump. The last two election cycles is when the mainstream media was able to say that Donald Trump was losing by margins he hadn't suffered the entire campaign. And now we're starting to see it tightening, and it's because I think these money markets, which have been made a lot more public than, you know, have been in the past are starting to force them to report this on a more accurate basis. Even Kalshi, the other online big betting site where people are putting money. Kamala Harris was up by like two points just a month ago, but as of today on Kalshi, Donald Trump, 58, Kamala Harris, 42, that's where people are putting the money. And that's the chance to win the presidency here. That post alone has 50 million views on X. - Nice. - Yeah, so we have to be able to talk about how bad of a campaign, albeit in the smallest. Remember, this was the perfect storm for Democrats. For all of the radical, progressive, Marxist and communist stuff that they promote, all of the transgender bullshit, the fact that they are now the war party, the fact that they want amnesty for 11 billion illegal aliens in this country, none of that stuff was gonna be important because Kamala Harris was gonna get rolled out and she was gonna hit the DNC, she was gonna select her vice president, she was gonna do a couple rallies and interviews and boom, it's election day. This was the perfect storm for Democrats and they even fuck this up. Because the Trump train doesn't stop, it never sleeps. The man is fueled by McFishes with cheese and chicken nuggets. - They still have the McFish, those are delicious. - And Diet Coke, I've never had one, but because it's on Donald Trump's favorite list, I feel like my son likes them. - No, they're great. I think the Carl's catch was better, but I don't think they do that one anymore. - Okay, yeah, I'm gonna have to try one. I mean, fast food, fried fish sandwich doesn't really sound like something I'd like to regularly partake in, but for as much as people have made a fuss about it that it's so delicious, now you-- - The McDonald's one is more fishy than the Carl's junior one, I think, more fishy, that weird odor that you can taste. - Gotcha, I mean, I come from a fishy in the household just not only did I grow up by the shore, but I'm also Italian, so I mean, fish is there right next to meatballs and stuff like that, but yeah, I'd break out the tilapia every now and then here. - Yeah, but again, the Democrats had it so easy, and instead they wanted to run on nothing, not answer for anything, and blame everything on Donald Trump. They wanted you to forget that he was actually a president of the United States before Joe Biden took office, but they wanted you to also think he was the sitting president and the reason our lives all suck so bad right now. - Yeah, that is the most bizarre angle that they've taken all this stuff, acting like Donald Trump is the president, which is weird. - And even when Bret Baer pushed her on that exact issue, Noah, and he told her, "Man, I'm by his president." He's not the sitting president of the United States, and this was the rancher, but he's been talking about it for years, Bret. He's been talking about it, but-- - But she said, "But Donald Trump is running." - Yeah, it's like, "Does that have to do with anything?" Just, she's so fucking stupid, it's amazing. - Yeah, well, that's what happens when you hire a bunch of 30-some-odd-year-old genderless trannies to run your presidential campaign and think like the more woke, the better. While Donald Trump has circled the wagons and made sure just about as much as his original 2016 campaign team is in place right now, is there absolutely killing it out there in the campaign? I mean, again, I read you his schedule just yesterday, just yesterday, in the morning, sat down with Tyros for his podcast, pre-recorded, went to a black barber shop in Brooklyn during the day, went to the Al Smith dinner last night and was the keynote roaster, jumped on Fox and Friends at like 5 a.m. this morning Eastern, then went and sat on Dan Bongino's show for over three hours, got on a plane, and the man's already campaigning in Michigan. That's just over the last 24 hours. What has Kamala Harris done? Nothing. She's had the same three or 4,000 people bust around the country to her. I don't even know if you want to call them rallies. And says the same thing's over, we're not going back, we're turning the page, Donald Trump bad. And then you have Tim Waltz like doing, you know, theatrical interpretations behind her. - Well, the best part was when Tim Waltz says we can't have four more years of this. - Yeah, every time they talk, they- - Who are this? - It's a new Trump commercial. - Yeah. - And it's horrible. Not like our show, which is amazing. Speaking of which guys, wherever you're listening to the show today, welcome, hope you're enjoying.

At stake for records, we're going to be jumping in with the original Papa John, John Schnatter in just a bit. So let's switch gears now. We've gotten the commentary on how bad Kamala Harris was. Let's see if she could stay face at all by jumping back into what she would consider friendly territory, and that was sitting down. I believe they did it remotely. It was like a Zoom interview. Like one of those digital rooms, remember like when Obama did Oprah? They like sat in chairs, but it looked like it was the same room, but it was just like, the whole thing was AI, and green screen. That's kind of the way they did this. And again, she thought she was going to get softballed. I mean, this whole thing spun because Charlemagne the God was very critical of the clip that kept getting played. He played the Trump commercial about the transgenders, the illegals getting free healthcare in prison. And he's like, you know, I can figure out a way to get behind a lot of their policies. He's like, I just can't get behind this. He's like, what the fuck is this? And they're like, well, let's ask her. So they reached out and she said she'd come down. She figured, you know, they were going to go and be black for an hour. And everything was going to be cool. And they were going to have a super secret handshake and hug digitally, of course, and make it all seem legit. You know, I don't know how much really weight he brings to the table, but it's a place where a lot of politicians go when they want to talk about the issues in a more long form. It's kind of like, you know, the Democrat version of PBD. Except Charlemagne the God's kind of a retard anyway. But one of the first things that came up here was obviously the topic of the border. And let's listen to a couple clips of the show. Again, friendly territory for her supposedly. And then after listening, I guess you guys are going to be able to derive on whether or not you feel how they shook out. Let's take a listen. - It doesn't the Biden administration have to take some blame for the border though. A lot of them blame because I mean, the first three years y'all did get a lot of things wrong with the border. - No, Charlemagne, within hours of being inaugurated. - Same answer as Brett Barrett. - First bill we passed before we did the Inflation Reduction Act before we did the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act before we did the Safer Communities Act to deal with gun violence. First thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system. - Why does she have to say it that way? The first thing we dropped, what is it, another incoming multi platinum hit from her and Joe Biden? It's embarrassing. - Did you hear do like the C'mon Mon? She was on with the late night with Stephen Colbert a couple weeks ago. And he was like talking something about Donald Trump and how awful he is. And she's like, "C'mon Mon, seriously Mon." And she like looks at the crowd and looks at him. She's like, "Ooh, let's just open up the beer "and pretend I didn't say it like that." Yeah. Everywhere she goes. He also brought up the question that Brett Barrett did about being called the borders are, which I think is funny now because now everyone's asking her about it. Instead of her being able to get away from that title, she can't sit down for an interview without an interview, er, asking her on how she feels with Donald Trump calling her the borders are. Again, we know that she wasn't ever named the borders are but we played the clip where Joe Biden tasked her with dealing with the border. So whether or not she wants to, it's a Trump nickname. It's pencil neck, Adam Schiff, it's Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren, it's borders are Kamala Harris. She acts like this is an official government title that she was given in Donald Trump has weaponized it when it's just another classic Trump nickname. And listen, it was hard to give Kamala Harris nickname. This one's gotten under her skin. She likes this one way less than comrade Kamala, which is, I think that one's funny too. But again, let's hear how she handled this question. Why do you allow them to call you the borders are? And that's not even your, that wasn't your role. - No, I'm not giving him permission for that. - Oh, you're right. But she's like, she don't put back on it 'cause that wasn't your role with-- - Fact checkers have made that clear. Look, if I responded to every name he called me, I wouldn't be focused on the things that actually helped the American people and that's my focus. - That is true. - So again, this guy being the pussy that he is, said, okay, this is not the whole interview goes for him, he's just like giving her a hand job basically? - Yeah, he's like, oh yeah, that's what you be doing. And instead he could've just said, okay, Madam Vice President, you open up that door, let's run through it. Helping the American people. Donald Trump, we've already established that he's too busy making nicknames and doing all this stuff right here. Safe environment, we're gonna make up that lie. Why don't you tell us, tell us how you're gonna help the American people. And it probably would've went just like that, a little bit of radio silence. As I'm watching across the chiron right now, speaking of pandering, another five billion, that's billion with a B, student loan forgiveness from the Biden Harris administration just came through today. That means by the time Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, hopefully leave office forever, we will have spent in student loan forgiveness, that is loans redistributed back to the taxpayers who have either already paid doors or never went to college between one and 1.5 trillion dollars in student loan debt. How does that make you feel, Noah? Yeah, gotta love it. Absolutely fantastic. You know, Charlemagne did segue to a couple of the social issues. One of the ones that I heard him talk about that I knew he was gonna ask around the show was he had issue with Barack Obama going out to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last week. Not as much of like the rally stuff where he talked about orange man bad the whole time and Donald Trump didn't create his great economy. I did and all this other bullshit, right? He wanted to know while that viral video went out where Barack Obama was talking more to like a young man led focus group at the Harris Walt campaign headquarters in Philadelphia where he was kind of doing the finger wag. Like, I don't feel like you black men, you young black men are getting behind Kamala Harris like you did for me. Where's the enthusiasm for her? And kind of left it as like it's our duty as black men to get behind Kamala Harris. Like you can't play another race card any harder than that one. Yeah, no. And that's the draw 25. And Charlemagne wasn't gonna let her off easy on this topic because when it gets to those racially driven issues, that's more the wheelhouse of his show. He's one of those guys that likes to sew division and kind of threw it back on Kamala Harris. If you're gonna bring on all these people who we've called monsters for decades like the Chinese and the Bushes, why don't you get them out there wagging their fingers and talking negatively to white people? What's here? - Hey, President Obama was out there last week waving his finger at black men. When are Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton gonna wave their finger at white women? When are Bill Clinton and Joe Biden gonna wave their finger at white men? Because 52% of white women voted for Trump in 2016, 55% voted for Trump in 2020. They all voted against their own interests. When the finger waving will start at them. - Well, thank you for highlighting that I do have the support of over 200 Republicans who worked for various administrations, including everyone going back to Ronald Reagan to the Bushes to John McCain and Mitt Romney and including Liz Cheney. And I'm very proud to have her support. And I believe that they who many of them who may have voted for Trump before are supporting me because they know the stakes are so high in terms of our very democracy and rule of law and-- - So the finger wagons should start to do-- - Rule of law. - Rule of fresh cum laude. - Well, I think what is happening is that we are all working on reminding people of what is that stake and that is very important. - That is orange men's bad. That's our only answer. And again, our last clip here regarding this new segment and the interview, the topic came up at the failed assassination attempt and the negative rhetoric that might have ramped up ahead of that, which may have led to the shooter trying to kill Donald Trump. Why is it still appropriate to say such things after, again, it's not just a talking point. It physically happened once and almost kinetically happened a second time and that's just what the American public knows about. And in no way, shape or form should anything outside of comical humor in regards to like nicknames like Donald Trump. I mean, she could have done the same thing with that, but no, they want to say threats to democracy and of the country, you're going to camps. Donald Trump is deranged, he's unhinged, he's mentally unstable, et cetera. And why is it still okay to kind of talk about that stuff and label him a threat to democracy? Let's check it out. I feel like the Biden administration has treated Trump like a real threat to democracy and that's why America doesn't realize how much of a threat he is. It's one thing to say it, but you have to act on it. Don't you believe Merrick Garland should have moved faster to put Donald Trump in prison for leading an attempt to kill this country? Love that. The Department of Justice has independence in terms of how they make those decisions as they should. As they should. So again, the law fair completely justified according to the Biden Harris administration and Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. And again, for our listenership, you need to understand what is on the other side. Donald Trump said, we had a good time, but if we don't get shit done on November 5th, I guess it was all for not that much. And not that much means Donald Trump probably is two adult sons at the very minimum, will all be in prison as will a lot of us be joining them eventually as well. We're spreading this and mal information throughout an election cycle according to them. So we're going to kind of leave it at that. We've still got a bunch of show to take on. We're going to be jumping in with the founder, former president and CEO of Papa John. He's doing a lot of different stuff now, and we can't wait to talk to him about it. In addition to all the things he's bringing to the table in regards to this election cycle and talking about the economy, John Schnatter. But before we do that, let's have another check-in with one of our partners. - Hi, this is Beard O'Ratt, Beard of that Coffee. What's wrong with America today is that Americans are putting convenience over values. We need to start thinking about our dollar as a vote. We need to start using those dollars to support companies that believe in our values and aren't afraid to take a stand. That's us at Beard O'Ratt Coffee. We're not another pretend conservative company that puts a pew pew on the packaging to take a line with our principles. We don't identify as America first, we live America first. We're a vet-founded vet focus in obviously period. So, if you haven't had a cup of beard that buy a bag, hope us continue to support veteran charities every month. And as we always say, stay awake, not woke. - Use promo code STAKET for 10% off your order. - All right, joining us next on the show today to speak Friday edition of the Stake for Records podcast, he's an entrepreneur and a businessman. He's also the founder of Papa John's PIPA, welcoming back to the show, Mr. John Schnatter. Thanks for coming out with us. - Ron, thanks for having me. - It's always a pleasure to be able to host Sir, and listen, I think one of the biggest issues heading into this election cycle now under three weeks until election day is the economy. I mean, there's a lot of people who are worried about the wars that are going on over the planet, the lack of geopolitical footing the US has lost under Joe Biden and Kamal Harris, obviously safety and security of the country with the US Southern border. But when you talk about average everyday Americans, the heart and soul of this country, I don't think anybody can open up their bank account or their mobile app and look at their balance these days and feel satisfied or feel comfortable to be able to put a roof over their head, hop me on the table and have enough food and fuel to get back and forth between the jobs that they're working endless hours for just to be able to provide for their families with the bare minimums. So when you see Donald Trump over the course of the last couple of weeks, talk to a couple economic clubs, the one up in New York, obviously, Chicago and Detroit as well, you know, and lay out the plan, not just policy talking points, but get into taxes and tariffs, starting with the biggest entities and enterprises like the auto industry, the steel industry, major manufacturing and what it means to bring not only those companies, but those plants and jobs back to the United States. How do you feel that that plan's getting rolled out to essentially the nothing that Kamal Harris and Tim Walts has offered? - Well, I think it's specific. I think it's very concise. I think it's very understandable. It's simple. It's straightforward. It's intuitive, you know, tips. The overtime tax break is definitely gonna make the productivity go up on the weekend. So I think it's very good. But all you have to do is look at the polls. 79% think we're in worse shape today, our better shape today than we were four years ago. And under Trump, he's gonna switch that pretty quickly. So if we just keep doing what we're doing, I think the truth's finally coming out. I think the electorate's finally waking up and realizing that this ideology of this administration of the liberals takes the standard of living backwards. The quality of life goes backward under these policies and that's exactly what's happened this last three and a half years. - You know, when you look at how the trickle-down effect would be to bringing major corporations and manufacturing that part of the industry, that component of it back to the United States, taxes and tariffs working in a positive manner, how does that trickle down to small business owners and franchises across the United States? I mean, they're not the large corporate entities sometimes that go coast to coast, but they're also a part of what makes up the middle class. And you know, for something that Kamala Harris and Tim Walts have offered is a pandering, that $50 startup loan for small businesses and stuff. I mean, you know, just as much as I do, you're actually an expert in it as someone who has started up a small business and turned it into a national franchise. Like how you did with Papa John. The fact of the matter is you could spend $50,000 on just some of the bare minimum essentials in one day and then where do you go from there? You know what I'm saying? So when you talk about long-term effects of bringing these companies back and how it would work beneficially for the American economy, what do you think the narrative is here? Does it really change the thing? Does it move the needle at all? - Well, I think the tariffs are one great and I think Trump's using it to the maximum tool to make sure that America and Americans, the American worker gets a fair shake. And, you know, when they build plants in Mexico and they take jobs from the U.S., that's a whole different situation than we build the plants here and we own the plants and we produce something and we have a labor force to get it done. But the tariffs are, you know, I think if you look back, he executed very few of those. He threatened a lot but executed very few because once you make that threat and you balance the playing field up where you have some parity, they seem to come to the table pretty quickly. - It's an excellent point you make. And then, you know, even before the layout of his economic plans for the country, I think one of the things that President Trump does a really good job of, you know, kind of hitting there when he's moving to focus in on the economy is the energy component of it. I mean, he talks about us having more liquid gold under our feet than any of the major OPEC superpowers in the world. He talks about the fact that red tape and regulations have prevented the U.S. from being energy dominant, not just independent and how if we are able to start tapping into that on day one of his administration in January of next year, it's going to lower the cost of everything from home eating and cooling and energy costs down to 50% but also play a major game in the business entities and industry throughout the country, manufacturing all over the place because regardless of what the plants are doing, you know, what they're manufacturing, what the component of the sector they're in, that's kind of not important as keeping the lights on, keeping the trucks fueled to go back and forth from point A to point B with supplies and products afterwards. And I think when you talk about how Donald Trump is looking to re-industrialize and revolutionize the energy industry here in the United States over the course of a very short period of time, it should be a huge incentive for companies to know not only is it going to be beneficial tax and tariff wise, maybe for us to get back into the United States, but the cost of it might actually be less because we'll be energy dominant by the end of his second term in office. - Yes, you get the energy supply more efficient up and more productive. When prices go down, everything that we do in America, everything, you know, runs on fossil fuels or natural gas. And so this energy policy I think is brilliant and it would take a lot of the ammunition from some of the countries that are exporting at high prices would, you know, have to export hopefully less at lower prices but we could be a supply mechanism as far as amount of oil we have. You combine that from a government perspective with bizarre Elon Musk of cost cutting. And now you've got an economy where 15% taxes to corporations, energy is cheap. The government is anti-regulation and pro-business. And then all of a sudden you've got something really, really special called America. - Yeah, it is the reinventing of the American dream. Something that, you know, a generation or two, most recently has been able to enjoy as much as those in years past, you know. And when you look at how this race is shaping out, John, it's kind of where I want to segue to next. I mean, the head to head match up, you've seen Donald Trump rise in the polls, rise in the shift of the money market and where people are betting on how Republicans are going to do on the November election. I mean, it's kind of hard to trust the numbers after watching the last couple of cycles go down but it's never actually been reported this close for Donald Trump, especially, in his first vying for the White House when he beat Hillary Clinton back in 2016. When you see the amount of work that President Trump, as brought in, you mentioned Elon Musk, he's also brought in people like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr., people who are outside of the MAGA tent, you know, in election cycles pass. In addition to the amount of blue states he's going to be campaigning in. He was at a barbershop today in New York City. He's going to be holding a rally in Sapphire, Blue Atlanta, Georgia. He's going to be in Virginia. He's going to be in New Mexico. He's holding a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City in a week or so. And when you talk about, in addition to hitting like the traditional spots, how much Donald Trump has gone outside of the, I mean, he's reshaped the way conservative politics are ran and probably will be moving forward. But the job he's done, it seems like where there was a lot of armchair quarterbacking coming out of the 2020 election cycle, he's leaving no stone unturned. - Yes, he's running an incredible campaign. And the thing about Trump is he's competitive. He's a winner. He's used to winning and he wants to win for America. But the number one trade that I think he has is the institutional knowledge. He's done this now for almost what going on eight, nine years. He understand how the game's played and he's dealing with a very difficult situation with the deep blue state. They're going to be against a lot of his policies. And I think that's going to be the tough road ahead. But he knows which levers to pull, how hard to push them and exactly when to push them. And he's going to get in really, really quick. And he's going to move a lot of levers quickly. And I think we're going to have more energy for less money with a more pro-business stance in a greater country because of Donald Trump. - Yeah, and then when you get those policies rolling and the overallness of America start to feeling good again, then you could focus on immigration policies and closing the U.S. Southern border. Then you could start to bring these warring factions from around the world to the table and start to move the needle towards getting them to end the hostilities. And essentially like President Trump says, like, however war started or wherever they continue, it really means nothing to me. I want the killing to end. And he's going to find the incentives of what it's going to take to get these parties to the table both in Israel with their ramped up in this against Iran and the terror proxies there with Hamas and Hezbollah also with Ukraine and Russia. And I think that will kind of stimulate the global market to kind of maybe be curious about getting involved in the American economy again. I mean, that was something that was, we had China buying rice from us during the pandemic. We had Russia buying oil and natural gas from us during the Trump administration. We had Canada and Mexico rework the deal, which had the buy border deal doing a lot better with the USMCA through Donald Trump's administration. It seems like if he's able to continue to develop and let those policies that he instituted in the first term in office really start to evolve, it's going to be not only beneficial for the country, but the overall and safety security prosperity of the world. - Yes, how America goes is how the rest of the world goes. Whether it's economies or safety in wars and a lot of this evil attacking of each other. But yes, how America goes, the rest of the world ago. And I think Trump, he makes a great presentation and presence on the international stage. - You know, and in closing today, John, it's been great starting to have you cycle through the show every month and contribute, talk about the economy and all the things that you've been so good at. You know, a lot of the feedback we get in our podcast comment section, whether it's on Apple or on any of our social media is, hey, it's great that you've got the original Papa John coming in on the show and talking with you guys, but our listenership wants to know, what are you doing now? We know and have reported on in the past that you have invested heavily in this election cycle in your support of President Trump, but why don't you give our listenership a little bit about what's going on in your life and how you've been since you, you know, got away from Papa John's pizza? - Well, I'm gonna sort of answer your question because I want to come back on and talk about it. I'm really into this organic farm. I'm really into longevity and rejuvenation and health. And I'm having a lot of fun with, you know, the waters, the, our diet, of course, our exercise, our stretching, our weightlifting, our cardio, the interpersonal relationship, studying blue zone. So I'm having a lot of fun studying the human body and the human psyche and having it back on and we'll do a whole show on Papa Farms. You know what? That sounds absolutely exciting. You may be another one of those people who are looking, maybe in the next couple of years to help make America healthy again as well. We absolutely love that here on "Stake for Breakfast." Much as we love catching up with you, John. We've got your website linked in the show description today. If there's anywhere on social media or anywhere else we can check you out, where's the best places? - ThePapaJohnSchnotter.com. - And this was an interview with the Papa John Schnatter here on "Stake for Breakfast" today. Thank you for joining us, sir. Have a great weekend. - And while we're very sorry that Vice President Harris cannot make it here in person, we will be joined by her later via video. But we couldn't be more thrilled to be joined, of course, by the 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. But I am particularly delighted to have the first lady also join us. Thank you so very much for making a very special effort to be here. - All right, jumping back into the news portion of the program here. Last news segment on the back end of two big Friday editions of the "Stake for Breakfast" podcast. As always, great kitchen up with John Schnatter. Looking forward to having him back on the show again soon, talking about his effort to want to make America healthy again as well, and hopefully get some more commentary from him on the presidential race as we're winding down here. We'll wind it down last night in New York City was, obviously, the Al Smith Catholic charity dinner, a formality for anyone that's running for president to not only be in attendance, but participate in the Roche portion. And since Kamala Harris decided to not participate. And instead send a pre-recorded, edited, telepromptered video address where she was accompanied by the actress who played superstar on Saturday Night Live. Again, I just want to remind everybody who's not the same age as me and might be younger. That actress portrayed a Catholic school girl, which in her skits had so many sexual undertones. It's not even funny. So to use her as a physical living prop for something that is being played at the Al Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, it's just an absolute fucking embarrassment. And the Waldraff Astoria Hotel on Third Avenue in New York City was absolutely packed to the gills. And we were ready for Donald Trump to bring down the house, however, before we got into that, there was a little bit of introduction. And that came because, well again, 'cause Kamala Harris didn't show up so they needed some filler time. And they got it from current Saturday Night Live comedian, Jim Gaffigan, who is currently the actor and comedian who's playing Tim Waltz on the embattled sketch comedy program. He did have a pretty good lead in and took a lot of shots at Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats overall. Let's check out his intro. - This event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. 22% of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris out here? - Now remember, she was already booed, so now there's this. - Consider this. This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee. I mean, in her defense, I mean, she did find time to appear on the view, Howard Stern, Colbert, and the longtime staple of campaigning, the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. President Biden couldn't be here tonight. The DNC made sure of that. (audience laughing) (audience cheering) - I guess I'm the only one that reads history. The media has begun discussing the phenomena of secret Trump voters. I don't know if you've heard about this. People who publicly say they would never vote for Trump, but then when they go in the voting booth, they do. It's a small group. They're called the Biden family. - Ooh. (audience laughing) (audience cheering) - The Democrats have been telling us Trump, Trump's re-election is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup. Ousted, they're democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamala Harris. In other words, all her dreams have come true. Really, it really makes you consider the power of prayer, right, Cardinal? (audience laughing) Sometimes prayers take three and a half years and a George Clooney op-ed. - Got 'em. - Got 'em. And listen, all of the opening roastedness by the M.C. might not have been directed in Joe Biden and the Democrats and obviously Kamala Harris's direction at first, however, because she turned down the invitation and failed to show up. They took the entirety of the time to go and wipe the absolute floors with her, which is well deserved. I mean, this is a rite of passage. Hillary Clinton did it back in 2016 with Donald Trump and it was funny. I mean, right next to the podium was Chuck Schumer. On the other side of him to his left was obviously Cardinal Dolan, who's the Cardinal, the Catholic M.C. of the event. And then right next to him to his left was Donald Trump and then Melania, they were guests all over the place, Latisha James was two risers up from Donald Trump. You had R.F.K. Jr. and his wife. There was just tons of people there. You know, this is where the entirety of the press was in the audience as well. And it's just a way, and you'll hear it 'cause it's funny for how evil and awful these people are. Donald Trump still maintains a friendship in some context with a lot of them, unfortunately. You know, in his relationship that there were videos released last night of people who were sitting in the audience and, you know, enjoying dinner as well while this event was going on. Other people were speaking where, you know, let's just say, for instance, where Cardinal Dolan was speaking, there was nobody in between Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer. So they're leaned in over Cardinal Dolan's plate, bullshitting with each other for like every opportunity they had. And it didn't seem like it was heated or aggressive. It looked like two old guys bullshitting with each other. And listen, this was, like a place and a time and an event at the very end of the election cycle where everyone who's involved with it from both sides of the aisle could come and relax and have a joke before you buckle up your bootstraps and get out there and hit the home stretch. And Kamala Harris decided not to, whether it was because they panned her to the LBGT community, whether it's because she didn't want to piss off Muslim or Arab voters in seeming that, you know, she'd be cuddling up to Catholics or even Jews as the comedian who led in with, you know, stated, but it's like a night where you check all of that existential baggage at the door and you just go out and have a good time. That's literally what it's all about. And she couldn't even do that. You know, my dad was really pissed at us. Me, my brother, and my sister, when we were little and we'd be getting home or in the car on the way home from somewhere. One of his catchphrases was you three could ruin a funeral. I never understood what it meant until I really started getting into politics. And when you see somebody with the drawing power or star power of somebody like Kamala Harris, she could ruin a funeral too. She'd be someone that I think my dad would use that catchphrase on, but let's jump into it here. And Donald Trump would have about a half hour to come up and say his parts, obviously there was the lead in, there was the thank yous, there was the what's this all about. And then it was time to do what you're there to do as one of the top two candidates running for the highest office in the land, roast. And he would dive right into it starting off, of course, with Kamala Harris, given the cold shoulder too. The Al Smith charity dinner, let's hear it. - It's been a long tradition for both Democrat and Republican candidates for President of the United States to attend this dinner. Always it's a rule, you gotta go to the dinner, you gotta do it, otherwise bad things are gonna happen to you from up there. (audience laughing) And you can't do what I just saw in that screen, but my opponent feels like she does not have to be here, which is deeply disrespectful to the event, and in particular to our great Catholic community, very disrespectful. (audience applauding) The last Democrat not to attend this important event was Walter Mondale, and it did not go very well for him. (audience laughing) He lost 49 states, and he won one, Minnesota. (audience laughing) So I said, "There's no way I'm missing it." Actually, it was not easy for me to get here tonight. Karan, I wasn't gonna miss this thing, matter I didn't care, I wasn't gonna miss it, but that's true, Walter Mondale, 49 and one. He was expected to do well, and it didn't work out. (audience laughing) It shows you there is a God, I mean, for those people that are quite certain. (audience applauding) I understand the real reason that she's not here, she's hunting with her, running mates, spending a lot of time hunting. (audience laughing) In any event, it's a weird, weird, weird, weird, you know the word weird. (audience laughing) They call me weird, they call JD weird. We're very solid people. This guy is calling us weird, but this was weird that the Democrat candidate is not here, and we're the- And that's just the lead in. We weren't even at the roast portion of this yet. We're not even to the jokes, although he did get a couple giggles out of the audience. Like where he would go next with his comedic skit talking about, maybe some incentives that could have gotten Kamala Harris out to the osmid dinner, let's hear it. I would not have missed the osmid dinner for anything in the world. I still remember coming here as a very young guy with my father, Freddy, was a great guy, my father. He was a tough cookie, but he had a very big heart. He was, anytime would walk down the street and you don't see it too much anymore. There'd be people standing with tin cans. Tin cans, and he would always take out $100 and put it in that can. And I always thought it was beautiful. And frankly, I even think more so now it was beautiful 'cause nowadays you don't see it so much. But I miss him and we used to come here very religiously. And a great New York tradition has been born 79 years ago. It was born 79 years ago and there are some people that were here for almost that length. I know many of them and it's not a pretty picture. It's not a pretty picture. The two candidates for president are supposed to exchange good-natured barks and you know, we get along very well. I didn't like Biden very much and now I like him quite a bit. (audience laughing) And now I say that she's much worse than him. He was a much better candidate than her actually. And when we hopefully win, dispose of her, I like her a lot, but right now I can't stand her. It's true, I can't stand her. I've never liked people that I was competing against. When you do, a lot of bad things happen. And we are doing well. By the way, the votes just started to come in. You gotta get out and vote. And Catholics, you gotta vote for me. Just remember, you better remember I'm here. And she's not. I could have done that too. But you do something that's incredible. The Catholic Church, you're helping the poor, educating children and supporting the vulnerable. But if you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her the funds. We're going to bail out the looters and riders and Minneapolis and she would have been here guaranteed. She would have been. (crowd cheering) Guaranteed. She would have been okay. She would have. Listen, this is what the Al Smith dinner is all about. You kind of take that monotone going around. Listen, he led in with talking about how long it's been going. The nostalgia of going with his father, some of the instances he remembered of those events. Going there as a young man, all the way up through now, remembering what it was like coming in 2016, not knowing what to expect as being a roaster. And then just when you feel like you've lulled everybody into a good story, you gotta vote for me. Get out and vote early voting is happening right now. Just the chippiness starts with, hey, if you wanted to get Kamala Harris here, you just should have told her that all proceeds were going to bail out the riders and looters from Minnesota during the summer of love. There is one other thing that we know Kamala Harris is well known for. And that is her iconic laugh, if you wanna go there. But if you thought Donald Trump wasn't going to take the opportunity to hit her on that, as she wasn't going to be there to defend herself. Well, you had another thing coming, let's check it out. - I know this isn't my normal crowd tonight because it just isn't, it's not my normal crowd. Believe me, my normal crowd is younger. There's a lot more energy. But you have certain advantages too, like cash, lots of cash. But many of you are Manhattan liberals from the media and the Democrat party. I always say the Democrat, you know, Chuck doesn't like that, he likes Democratic. And it sounds much more beautiful, the Democratic party. I always say the Democrat party, 'cause it sounds worse. (audience laughing) It is true, he likes Democratic. Why don't they just change the name, this way? You know, it is Democrat, but I must say I was shocked when I heard that Kamala was skipping the Al Smith dinner. I'd really hope that she would come because we can't get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh. She laughs like crazy. - Yeah. What can I mean again? You weren't gonna hear, well actually, I'm not gonna lie, you are gonna hear some singers, but it would be as, he kind of segued into broadening his roast and bringing Tim Walts in. And before he did that, he talked about something that we've, of course, made fun of here on the show ever since its inception. And that's the, I don't even wanna call it a voting block, blob of Democrats called White Dudes for Harris. Maybe you've heard of it. President Trump brought it up, let's hear it. - There's a group called White Dudes for Harris. Have you seen this? White Dudes for Harris. - Maybe you've heard of it. - Anybody know, some of you here, White Dudes fan doesn't sound like it. But I'm not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives lovers are all voting for me. (audience laughing) Everyone of those people are voting for me. - Chuck Chair confirmed by Donald Trump. And that's when the jokes really start pouring out, you know, Tim Walts, who's just, man's a gestation machine. I don't, it's like, Pee Wee Herman and Mr. Bean did the fusion dance and you get Tim Walts. I can't believe someone who claims to be an avid hunter, but can't load a rifle, someone who claims to know football, but then uses terms that really don't go along with the sport. It's just, you don't teach football, you coach football. You don't know how to load a shotgun when you're going out and shooting clay ducks. It's just a lot of things about this guy, plus all of the embellishments that he's made over the years, whether it be his military rank, when he concluded a service, how he got out of a service and kind of left his unit hanging, what he did or didn't do in China and everything in between. But there was one thing we've known Tim Walts for long before he became the vice presidential nominee on the Democrat side. And it wasn't for giving driver's licenses and free healthcare to illegals, it was something worse. Donald Trump was gonna be sure to hit on it. Let's check it out. - Here's the thing that Democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods, but then I met Tim Walts. (laughing) - Oh man, you have to be able to do it and they couldn't even be there to defend themselves. So why not just have an absolute great time with it? And Donald Trump, a lot of this material came from the campaign staff. But I think that when you look at the way it was pointed at, preaching and roasting in front of an older audience, but because of the televised aspect of it, reaching people and seeing Donald Trump just ratio and body these losers in real time, pretty awesome to see. He would circle right back to Kamala Harris. You know, her husband, Doug Emhoff, or Doug Jerkoff as we call him here on the show, he's come under scrutiny. Possibility of maybe getting a little physical, one of his past girlfriends. We all know, God forbid, and Donald Trump will touch on it just a bit, don't let him near the nannies, let's check it out. - Campaign, he could take a toll on a family and family life, although I hear that Kamala and her husband carve out some really beautiful alone time at the end of the day for an intimate dinner, just Doug, her, and the teleprompter that she uses quite well. (laughing) - Oh man, you know, it would have been funny to see what she had to say in replying to all this, but again, she passed up on the opportunity and apparently with using Molly Shannon as a human prop in her address to the dinner last night has really drawn some ire from a lot of people within the Catholic apparatus. (bell ringing) I had mentioned keeping slick, willy, doggy, away from your nannies. Donald Trump wasn't going to leave that stone on turn, let's check it out. - Age or issue of this race is childcare and Kamala has put forward a concept of a plan. A lot of people don't like it, the only piece of advice I would have for her and the event that she wins would be not to let her husband, Doug, anywhere near the nannies, just keep them away. That's a nasty one, that's nasty. I tell these idiots that gave me this stuff, that's too tough. (audience laughing) Oh, they told me the last time I did this. I was running against Crooked Hillary. - Crooked Hillary or beautiful Hillary? She's Crooked Hillary again, don't worry about it. But again, this was a night where you could just let go, maybe catch up with some former friends who because of politics, like in the case of Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer, you don't really talk anymore. And give America something a little bit other than policy than attacking your opponents. We're joking with our opponents now. And we're having some laughs at the expense of them. It's these instances of normalcy, of comedic intimacy that I think sometimes we get bits and pieces of, let's just say from Donald Trump, with the nicknames and the funny stories and the details, but we don't get it in such a nature to wear like, even he's like blushing a little bit when he's saying some of this stuff. And I think we need that. It's been such an exhausting eight years here. And again, I want you as the listener to be able to take this in and enjoy it because we're not getting it ever again. It's just where we're at. And I'm really glad that Donald Trump went and in my opinion, overperformed last night in my opinion, brought down the house. And in my opinion of Kamala Harris really missed out on an opportunity just to, like I said, where she can't even answer a question normal, just put a human persona around her. She just seems very robotic, very deep state-ish, very telepromptered. So much so, I mean, Donald Trump had a joke about it. You know, an intimate dinner between her and her husband is her dug in the telepromptor 'cause all she knows is her memorized talking points. It's a big L for her. And for anyone that thinks that it wasn't, you're living in an alternative reality because this is the way our politics go.

I believe they were in Pennsylvania this week or maybe North Carolina, getting my swing in battleground stage cross up here. He's somewhere out on the road with Matt Whitaker and a bunch of other patriots I saw, at least Stefanik was with 'em last week, and they're making sure that not only they are getting people motivated and out voting for Donald Trump, but they're looking to extend that house majority and retain control and flip the Senate back into Republican hands. There were a couple other people who Donald Trump was friendly with over the years at the Al Smith charity dinner last night. One who did not decide to show up either was going to be former New York mayor, Bill de Blasio. I guess over the years, have been Donald Trump had butted heads. He wasn't going to leave any questions unanswered in regards to how he felt about him, especially with the opportunity in a place like NYC to roast him. Let's hear it. - We have another former New York City mayor with us, frankly, easily the worst in our history. And it's not Michael that I can tell you. - Bloomberg gets the pass. - I'm surprised that Bill de Blasio was actually able to make it tonight, to be honest. He was a terrible mayor. I don't give a shit. If this is comedy and it was a terrible mayor, he did a horrible job. That's not comedy, by the way, that's fact. But unlike the rest of New York, at least Bill doesn't have to worry about the criminals. They owe him big. He let them get away with a lot of stuff. - And you know, it would be speaking of criminals, segueing quickly to New York City's current mayor. Eric Adams, who was also in attendance, that he would have a little bit of a zinger for. He let in with talking about how he knows how he feels, being unjustly persecuted and prosecuted by the Biden-Harris DOJ. But when talked about wrapping up his comedic event, well, I'm not even gonna spoil it. I'll let President Trump tell the joke, let's hear it. - Well, I'd better wrap up because Mayor Adams told me earlier that I needed to make this one very quick, especially the city has reserved this room for a large group of illegal aliens coming in from Texas. That's right, they've reserved many rooms, many rooms, a lot of rooms, too many rooms. - Oh boy, and of course, you know, he had chit-chatted and bullshitted with Chuck Schumer throughout the night. He was of course going to leave him with a parting shot as well. - Coming in and coming in very, very strong in a certain way. I won't tell you what way that is, but Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum. (audience laughs) (speaking in foreign language) (audience laughs) But look at the bright side Chuck, considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president. (audience laughs) (audience cheers) I loved it, I loved it. And I love Donald Trump's performance there. You know, I really do think we take for granted some of the things he brings to the table outside of his business expertise, the fact that he was a very strong and respected commander-in-chief. He had gone through some stuff both congressionally with his own party turning against him, losing the house and midterm elections during his first term. And then as he was looking to finish strong, walking into North Korea, getting the Abrahams accords rolled out, bringing the economy back, he's hit with COVID. And we all know what happened after that, as he puts it, a very, very bad thing happened. And, you know, what can you say? The man's woken up a little bit as well. He definitely sees things in a different perspective than he did, probably entering the cycle. Definitely, then when he came down the Golden Escalator and you have to take into consideration the evolution that the man has made, I still don't know if we're at Final Form Trump. I think we're just about at a 9.7 out of 10, but we'll know it when we get there. But he did talk about how recently some events, which include the assassination attempts, have kind of changed and shaped him and gave a little insight into his faith. Let's check it out. - This is a very religious evening to me. It really is, it represents so much. My sister was somebody that loved the church and gave to the church, a cardinal knew that. I had a certain priest that she thought was incredible, right? For a certain, very, very fine man that she thought was incredible. Having recently, myself, survived two assassination attempts, they said that I have a chart that went down to the right. Unfortunately, I looked at my old time favorite piece of paper, but it went down and I looked to the right and I said, "You know, was that luck? "What was that, luck, or was that God that did that?" And I think it was God that did that. I do, I do. But I have a very fresh cardinal, I have a very fresh appreciation for how blessed we are by God's providence and his divine mercy. I mean, that was something I was not supposed to be here tonight, that I can tell you. So with God's help, I know there is nothing that cannot be achieved. We can achieve so much good with this country and get together and unify. - And that's kind of what this whole evening was about. It was about putting aside our differences, both politically, maybe even philosophically. It was about being in a room with current former friends and family and remembering or re-embarking down memory lane and some of what maybe some people consider the better parts of their lives, especially when it comes to memory shared with family members. You heard Donald Trump talk about both his sister and his father throughout the course of his 28 minute speaking portion of the roast that he had going on there. And now you wake up the next day and you're back out on the campaign trail, 18 days until election day. What does it say, who knows? What does it mean? I don't really have a clue. But I have come to the conclusion that we've pretty much literally run out of undecided voters in this country. So the job at hand is the job that we've been telling you to do from day one. Make sure you're registered. Vote and vote early and then chase every single ballot you can no matter where you live. It counts and it's important. As I heard articulated in the news last night and as our last audio clip of the week, former disgraced CNN show host and podcaster, Don Lamont came back to do a little contributing on their show called America's Choice, We'll Tab it America's Fake Choice 2024. Last night to give his perspective on what is now roving reporting across the country and especially in battleground states have shown him as we head down the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election cycle. Let's check it out. - You're talking to a lot of voters and I will just say that you texted me right around the Democratic convention and you said, I am talking to people and Kamala Harris has a problem with black men. - Yeah, and I told a campaign I did not hear from them. I mean, who am I for them to get back to me? But there's a problem. And look, I went to from battleground state to battleground state. When they invited me to the convention, I didn't just want to fly there. I said, I'm going to go and talk to voters in battleground states. And I did, it was not curated. I went up to people just doing man on the street. Who are you going to vote for, black men? And time after time after time, they said, I'm voting for Donald Trump. - Why? - Now, there are reasons why. They said, because most of the time they said, well, you know, for economic reasons, right? Or because he gave me a stimulus check and I had to correct them over and over and tell them where that stimulus check came from the Democratic Congress and from Nancy Pelosi. And that Donald Trump actually held a checkup so that his name could be put on the check. So they think they got the check directly from him. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has given one or two stimulus checks as well, but they seem not to know and understand that. You can vote for whoever you want to vote for. But the reasons that you're going to vote for them, I think that they should be accurate and factual and you should know why you're supporting someone. - So there you have it. He can't even answer why there's such a populist push for President Trump as I watch him right now on the tarmac in Michigan after just having a whirlwind of a schedule yesterday already campaigning up in the Rust Belt, in the blue wall and the Wolverine state. We're gonna leave it at that. It's been a big busy week. I think we did it right. And don't you be going anywhere because right now we're about to jump in with our final interview of the week as well with the former Chief of Staff to the DOD and Special Assistant President Trump, Mr. Cash Patel. But before we do, let's have a final check in with one of our partners. - Friends, I want to take a minute and talk to you about cigars.

A premium smoke for freedom-loving patriots. All right, joining us next on the show today to speak Friday edition of the State for Records podcast. He's the former Chief of Staff to the DOD. He's also formerly the Deputy Director of the DNI, Special Assistant to President Trump. We like to call him one of our Captain America's. Mr. Cash Patel, welcome back to the show. - It's great to be with you. And I got to announce to the ELP for Breakfast team that I slogged this five by seven, two weeks ago, 800, so we had helped me for everybody. - Ooh, Pixar didn't happen. No, we absolutely believe you're here on the show. And absolutely fantastic. It sounds like you're gonna have breakfast taken care for quite a long time, my friend. - Indeed, for everybody. - Cash for as much as we usually regularly talk. You know, you've been out on the campaign trail for a good amount of time here. I don't even think you knew before we jumped into the interview what state you were actually in. But let's talk about that experience. I mean, you did it in 2022. This is obviously a lot bigger cycle with President Trump at the top of the ticket. The amount of success in the overall comeback story that's been Donald Trump's campaign in this round. But I have to tell you, for all the things we warn people about in the midterm election cycle a few years ago, they have all come to fruition and are on steroids. The world has spiraled out of control. There is no safety and security on the US Southern border. The economy looks nothing like it did four years ago. No more safety and security in the streets. Educational system is on its ear. You name it, it's broken. And it's all because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's radical progressive Marxist communist policies. Now, as you're out there on the bus tours, doing these rallies, you had a big town hall event last night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as well. With some of the group of great stars who are frequent here on State for Breakfast, Rick or Nell, Alexis Wilkins, yourself, et cetera, here's the deal. What are the American people telling you right now? And what are they looking forward to when they head to the ballot box now in less than three weeks? Yeah, look, it's a privilege to be on the Team Trump bus tour. We're going through all the swing states. We're in Western Carolina today. We were in Eastern Carolina yesterday, North Carolina. And two nights ago, we were in Detroit, Michigan on the Trump unity tour. So there are a lot of great surrogate events for the president that are bringing in all aspects of America. Unlike Kamala Harris, he's busy dividing America by label and skin color and plus her minus signs in her disastrous interview last night, where she couldn't even remember if President Biden had any cognitive decline and didn't want to apologize to the families of the victims who were killed by illegal immigrants. Donald Trump is out there talking to every American and saying there is no label. And these bus tours were seeing tons of people show up at every event to register to vote, to train, to do voter integrity initiatives, to go out to their communities and get people involved. And it's just because of President Trump's messaging to the American people. So it's been pretty powerful to see that everywhere we go. No, it certainly has. And when you talk about the job that President Trump has done, it is a lot different than any of the previous cycles. I mean, he came out of, you know, right in the wake of the assassination attempt at the RNC, I feel like the Republican base was all for the most part, galvanized coming out of that. You can count on your hands, the list chainies, the Adam Kinzinger, the Mike Pence's who are not on board with the MAGA Express. It seemed like anyone who had another horse in this race had kind of checked their ego at the door and knew that this election is more important than ones previously, probably in any time in our country since its inception. In addition to that, the 10 has been widened. RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, et cetera. You know, for all those people that say Donald Trump is a racist, he's the second coming of Hitler, he's gonna do all these bad things. You have people who have stumped on the issues that Democrats have been able to harness for decades as part of their campaigns and brought them under the MAGA tent and are now running alongside of Donald Trump to make sure he gets back into the White House in January of next year to see the changes that have gone down throughout the course of those years and how Donald Trump has evolved as a candidate and to where the comeback story is now less than three weeks before election day. What can you say to watching this in real time? I mean, we heard him give you kudos at the rally in Arizona, which is always an absolute heater. Any time he gets out there last weekend, but cash, you know, to see the amount of success President Trump has had, the money markets moving his way, the poll numbers inching his way, et cetera. And America finally waking up after living under these guys for the last four years, it has to be something incredible to watch. - No, I was with the president in Coachella and I spoke in front of, I don't know, 70,000 people and I was with him the next day in Arizona again, spoke at Mojave County in Prescott Valley in front of another Rocha's crowd. So only President Trump can bring those crowds. No one's there showing up to come see me, but it's a privilege to stand next to him and campaign for him. But what he's doing is bringing those large crowds together with the communities that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden intentionally neglect. After the western state of North Carolina was ravaged by Helene, Donald Trump was on the ground the next day giving food, water and aid and Kamala Harris was slugging ados out of the Hollywood fundraiser. And then she took to the airwaves to pound beers with that clown on late night television. That's not a commander in chief. I want. And President Trump is showing the American people the difference between the two. She's busy doing sets podcasts and Donald Trump is doing real-time interviews with heavy hitters anywhere and anytime every single day. And the message is getting out and what we're doing on the sides here on this great bus tour is pushing that message out for President Trump as far and wide as we can to the communities that Kamala Harris has intentionally forgotten. Oh no, it's Matt Whitaker. Don't say hi. - Oh hey, hey former Mercedes, my turn to Joe is. - I love when you tell Matt we got an interview spot for me. Anytime we want to jump on the show. No, listen, here's the deal. You've seen what's gone on with President Trump, Cash. You know, the thing that concerns a lot of Americans obviously is the attempts on his life that have happened throughout the course of the cycle. It's kind of a two pronged attack. We had a scathing report come out on behalf of Congress this week showing that there's a failed leadership top to bottom at the U.S. Secret Service Department of Homeland Security and with all 100 Mayorgas who's at the top of that. In addition, there's a component to the terrorism aspect of this, the Iranian regime, the payback and retribution that they're still looking for in regards to the taking out of Soleimani several years ago under the leadership of President Trump as well. When you see the open borders, when you see the failed leadership at the top with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, within our federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service, the want of Iran to be able to get back in this and get payback for what happened to Soleimani, it seems like a perfect recipe for disaster. It's been allowed to be facilitated under this administration as well. What can you say about how serious of an issue this is and how this administration is just kind of ignoring the rising threat of Iran? - Well, they're not just ignoring it. They're intentionally funding it. They gave them $7 billion to start. Then they took off all the sanctions. Then they walked around Bakken back into their nuclear deal program. And that's what people don't realize. The Iran nuclear deal agreement was just that to give Iran a nuclear weapon. Start a by Obama and Biden and finish off by Biden and Harris. And they bent the knee to the terrorist regime over there instead of fighting for everyday Americans. They literally delisted a terrorist organization which went out into invading Israel and causing World War Three. This is the prioritization of the Kamala Harris regime, putting terrorists before American citizens in the rest of the world, including our allies in Israel. And they just went and withheld funding to Israel to ensure quote-unquote aid is put into Gaza. What are these buffoons going to do? Build another floating port with American money that sinks into the sea in less than one week? I mean, this is what everyday Americans are seeing, that they will rather discuss global policy with Iran and the mullahs, then go over it, have a conversation with Putin to end the war. Then go over and talk to the Middle East and have peace again. Then go out into America and say, how are we going to bring the prices down and make education affordable again? Their priorities are completely out of whack and it's not reckless, it's intentional, and they continue to fund illegal immigrant programs instead of taking care of our vets and our senior citizens and President Trump, the only one who now is rolling out no tax on social security. And he's going to make car interest and call him deductible on these things for everyday Americans. - No, it's the truth. And when you look at the work that's task ahead, if we don't touch on government gangsters, we wouldn't be doing a good segment with Cash Patel. Cash, how much of a task at hand do we have on the other side of this election? If Republicans are able to extend that house majority, flip the Senate and get Donald Trump back into the White House, you've seen Alejandro Mayorkas already in peace be it the head of the US Southern border, be it the head of the Secret Service, and obviously all of the other failures in between. You've had other cabinet members like, let's just say Janet Yellen who's overseeing the worst economy, something that Jimmy Carter can actually smile at when he sees how bad of a job Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done, components of the Secret Service. I mean, you name it, the FEMA Director, if there's been an opportunity for failure here, this administration has led it, and we haven't even touched on the DOJ. When you see the amount of work that needs to be done, for the fact that we all know that there are good men and women who are working inside of these organizations, but the leadership is just woke, it's just DEI, and they just don't care about the American people, they care about the benefits, and how many government checks they're going to be able to collect in retirement. It seems like it's a pretty tall task at hand, but it seems like with the amount of people, including yourself that Donald Trump is out there campaigning with, there is a lot of people looking and who are chomping at the bit to get this country back on the right track come January of next year. - Well, that should be the motivating factor to run through November 5th, and we got to play through the echo of the whistle, and that's the only mission right now, winning, winning, winning. And that requires not just voting on election day, but voting on election season. And my home state in Nevada, that starts Thursday. In North Carolina, it starts today. I don't care if you like mail-in ballots or ballot harvesting, you go do it everywhere, it's legal. And throughout these next 19 days, you drive people to the voting booths, and you get uncomfortable and people talk to people who don't know, and you knock on their door and ask them to put up a Trump sign because he is America first, and Kamala Harris is ruining this country for all the reasons we talked about. The plan after November 5th, we just got to win. President Trump has a solid team around them, ready to go nonstop through November 5th. And should we be blessed to win, I have no doubt that he has a monster plan in place, but we can't look ahead of it. We can't look beyond November 5th. We got to run every single day, every 24-hour cycle to November 5th with one message. Get out the vote, get out the vote, vote early, and help other people vote and get the truth out to our communities so they don't vote on another lie and rig another election with the Deep State government gangsters. And if you need the plan, you can get the book, but you can also watch the movie at warroom.film, streaming now live, and Matt Whitaker sending me funny memes and trying to throw me off my game, but nothing will prevent me from rocking the house for DJT. - And rocking the house here on Elk for Breakfast. Listen, cash and closing today, you'd mentioned getting out and voting early, but it's gonna take more than everybody's just one single vote in this election. Not like we're Democrats and we're voting twice, but it's chasing those ballots. It's getting all the things done that traditionally, Republicans don't do as we used to be game day voters. Now we need to get involved early and we need to get involved often. So just in closing, tell our listenership again. Once they get out there and vote early, once that mail-in ballot is sent in and you can check online that it's been received, what are some of the things they need to be doing in their own community? And even in the course of the next three weeks, just to make sure that everything goes according to plan and we get down on Trump over the finish line on November 5th. - Look, the importance about, and I'm glad you brought this up, and we get this at every stop we do on the Trump bus tour. And if you'd like to participate, it's Trump47.com, Trump47.com. Once you bank your vote early, the Trump campaign can put its resources on the folks that haven't voted. And look, we don't know if another international disaster is coming between now and then in your home state. So we gotta ensure that vote is banked for multiple reasons. Not just financials, but in case you can't vote on election day. And so that's why it's critically important that we can shift our resources to help other people like folks in Western North Carolina who are displaced to get mobile voting booths in place. Finance resources, so they can all vote. And the rest of Donald Trump is the only unifying candidate in this race. The Kamala Harris continues to cackle endlessly, laugh off serious questions, and ignore the immigration crisis he has brought to our shore. - Cash, we've got everything live, link in the show description today, obviously linked to your latest film, Government Gangsters, also Trumpforce47.com. SwampTheVote.com. But there's only one place we can find on social media. Where's that? - Cruz, can I cast Cruz, can I cast live streaming TV? It's now on Truth Social, you gotta love it. - And this is the man who puts all of the Government Gangsters on notice. He's got a long resume, so we're not gonna read him again. He's also a paps enthusiast in case you didn't know. - Mr. Cash Patel, thanks for joining us on the show.

You're voting for the powerful machine that already runs the country, the machine of political persecution, media lies, censorship, election interference, and open borders. Instead, if you vote for Donald Trump, you're voting for the power of a real president to represent the people. Our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. To make their voices heard. They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you to make America great again. Powerful again, wealthy again, healthy again, strong again, proud again, safe again, and we will make America great again. Vote against the machine. Vote for Donald Trump. [BLANK_AUDIO]
