It was all about debate, debate, debate, the pre-show.

We are doing the actual debate tonight live on Blaze Media.

We have the CNN presidential debate.

It'll run uninterrupted.

Don't give them the ratings.

Just come to Blaze TV.

And all of the analysis from all of the best of the Blaze tonight.

Today, we had Steve Dace.

We had Laura Trump on with us.

And we covered all aspects of it in today's podcast.

First, let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.

It's the middle of the night.

Blue and red lights come flashing through your windows from police cars outside.

Everywhere, everywhere in your living room, there is a crime scene tape.

An officer with a notebook is asking you all kinds of questions.

You heard a noise in the living room.

Yes, you assumed it was a burglar

exercising your Second Amendment rights.

You came out, you warned,

and apparently you set

the sent the cat to meet Jesus.

I mean, or whoever cats meet in the afterlife.

Okay, could have been a much bigger loss.

When you are pulling a gun, you have to make sure that you are qualified to shoot it, to shoot it accurately, and to shoot to kill.

Is that what you always need?

I tell you, in the situations on the streets in

America today, and especially if you live in a place like Los Angeles or California or Chicago or really any place,

you can carry a Burna launcher legally, and there's no permits, there's nothing that you need to carry a Burna launcher, and that launches tear gas up to 60 feet.

It'll stop people dead in their tracks up to 60 feet and incapacitate them for about 40 minutes.

You're listening to the best of the blend back program.

Laura Trump, welcome to the program.

It's glad to have you.

We're glad to have you here.

Oh, well, good morning.

Thank you.

Great to be with you.

Thank you.

So I have to ask a question on the RNC

quickly.

You know, the RNC is loaded with people that are not...

are not really, don't have necessarily the best interest

in mind for the Republican Party and conservative values.

I was so glad to see that you were the co-chair.

Are you cleaning house on some of these people?

And are we doing enough to ensure the integrity of this election?

Well, I was going to change one word you had in that.

Oh, is she there?

We lost her?

Is it just me, Stu?

No, we don't hear her either.

I don't know if we can.

Oh, shoot.

Cut out there.

Maybe we can get her on the line.

Call her back.

While we're waiting, is there anything from the Supreme Court that's coming down now?

Yes, we have a couple of decisions out so far, both by Gorsuch and 5-4 rulings.

In both cases, it was the liberals against him.

One of them had Barrett as a dissent.

One of them had Kavanaugh as a dissent, as well as the Liberals.

But both 5-4s, the first one was Ohio v EPA.

This was when they paused an EPA rule.

that was designed to cut pollution that might affect neighboring states.

They just, there's not a final ruling here.

Is this a chevron?

No, this is, this is their determination.

Another one.

Yep.

They're pausing the ruling.

They didn't make like a final determination, but while it's going through the courts, they basically

paused the rule.

And then another one about it's related to opioids, Purdue Pharma, and their bankruptcy plan.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

Can we get Laura back on?

I mean, it's just kind of an important day to have her on.

By the way, I'm on with Don Jr.

This afternoon on his podcast, Triggered.

He's invited me on today

as a guest.

I have more questions for him than he could possibly have for me.

Right.

What are you going to tell him on this day?

You know what?

I got to tell you, Don.

Here's the strategy tonight.

I will say we have a full-out phone failure here, Glenn, at the studios.

You've got to be gone down.

Yeah, so I don't think we're going to be getting around anytime in the

kidding me.

People are running around like

panicked.

Oh, my gosh.

Chickens with their head cut off.

Well,

tonight

we are covering the election, and we're giving you full coverage.

We start

at about 7.30 Eastern time.

Our coverage will begin.

We're going to be talking to

all of the panels.

We're announcing some really cool stuff.

Who's hosting this, Stu?

I know that Steve Dace is in for it.

The only thing I really like, I really like about this is not all of us agree on things.

Yeah, that's a lot of different perspectives from really across the conservative, libertarian spectrum.

I will be hosting it along with Jill Savage, Glenn.

So I don't know if that disappoints you, but

no, Jill is, Jill's enough to make up for you.

Okay, good

um yeah it's gonna be great i mean i went through the

the sort of game plan the rundown for today's show uh tonight's uh show and it is extensive there is a lot going on we have a lot of really great voices coming on you're gonna be able to hear all sorts of analysis and and not only are we have a an hour and a half pre-show then we have the entire debate you'll be able to watch right on blaze tv or on the youtube channel and then we have i don't know if it's an hour an hour and a half post-game show.

I'll also be doing post-post show on youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica.

Probably do one right after the radio show here for a little bit, just kind of as a preview as well.

So go to youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica, blazetv.com slash debate.

Use the code debate, and you'll get 30 bucks off your subscription.

So I am just watching on my screen here all of the producers desperately trying to restart the phone system and hoping that will happen.

Stu, in in your 20 years with me,

how many times has our phone system gone down?

I'd say four or five, it feels like.

I was going to say five maximum.

And have you noticed they've been recently?

Yeah, okay.

She's back.

Okay, good.

She's back.

Laura, I'm so sorry about the trouble with the the phone.

I don't know what happened.

It's probably social media.

Anyway, Laura Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump,

we were talking about the RNC and cleaning things up.

And all I heard from you, Laura, was, you know, I want to change one word from what you said.

And then we lost you.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, hello.

I'm back.

Hi.

Okay, good.

Thank you.

So you asked me, go ahead and you said that the RNC was a place that had a bunch of people there who maybe didn't have the same goals as we do as conservatives.

And I said I was going to correct you and say, we used to be.

We are no longer because day one, after Michael Watley and I were elected as chair and co-chair of the RNC, that was our first priority was to go in there and really eliminate the fat, so to speak.

We got rid of a lot of people who, quite frankly, had probably been there for too long.

You know, a new CEO comes into an organization.

You want to bring in your own team, your own people.

And that's exactly what we did.

And I can promise you that the Trump campaign and the RNC are a cohesive unit, unlike anything we've ever seen.

I worked in the previous two elections for my father-in-law.

And I can tell you, we worked alongside the RNC as a Trump campaign.

We never were one unit.

We are one team right now.

And the beauty of that is it allows the money donated to the campaign and the RNC to go farther.

We don't have multiple people doing the same job.

We have one person doing one job.

And that's a great thing.

You asked about election integrity.

What we have done, I think, is really the most comprehensive election integrity program.

And maybe no one's ever done anything like this before, but truly in the history of American politics, we can never repeat 2020 again, Glenn.

That was a disaster.

You have millions of Americans who have a lot of questions that were unanswered.

And quite frankly, if you even ask a question about 2020, you're called an election denier.

You're supposed to feel bankrupt.

It is integral to who we are as a country to have faith in our electoral process.

And our goal at the RNC is whether you're voting for for a Republican, a Democrat, or a third-party candidate, when you go cast a ballot in the United States of America, you should have full confidence that your vote matters and that your vote counts.

And that is why we have put together this program.

It's 100,000 volunteers that Michael Watley, the chairman, and I have pledged.

We want to make sure that we have trained poll watchers, but also trained poll workers.

And this is very important for people to understand.

For 40 years, there was a consent decree placed upon the RNC.

We could not train poll workers.

Glenn, imagine who was training all the the poll workers.

It the RNC wasn't.

It was the DNC.

Ever wonder why things are so crazy in all these polling locations?

Yeah, we can now train people and we want you on the team.

Protectthevote.com for your listeners is where you go.

Again, protectthevote.com.

We have people who are going to be working in the tabulation centers where the mail-in ballots come in.

We also want, and I think this is probably the most important key here.

legal experts.

If you're a lawyer out there, you don't have to be trained in election law.

We will train you.

We need to make sure that we're not waiting a day, a week, or a month after a problem to address it.

We have to be in the room at the moment and strike while the iron is hot and strike when we see a problem or any nefarious activity.

And I think our message from the RNC is, and the Democrats, by the way, hate when I say this, so I'm going to say it loud and clear right here on your show, Gwen.

If you are a person who is going to cheat in an election, we will find you.

We'll track you down.

We'll prosecute you to the full extent of the law.

If you're a non-citizen voting illegally in our elections, we'll find you.

We'll prosecute you to the full extent of the law, and that means you are leaving this country.

It is not worth it.

Don't do it.

We need a free, fair, and transparent election.

And I believe when every legal vote is counted, Donald Trump will be re-elected as a 47th president.

Well, I think there is.

I think if it is a fair election, I think he is going to win.

I think people have had enough of it.

They've had enough of the lies.

They've had enough of just...

Little things like, no, there is no inflation.

It's getting better.

You know, the gas prices and the food prices, yesterday, Jenna Yellen said, they don't surprise me.

That's, you know, we've always had to pay more for food.

Are you out of your mind?

What is the strategy tonight for the president

to hit and speak plainly to those people?

Well, I think the problem that Joe Biden has is right now we're living in Joe Biden's America, Glenn, and it's a disaster.

To your point, the American people are struggling.

People's lives have gotten harder, not easier.

People are having a problem making basic ends meet and putting food on the table for their family and filling up their gas tanks and feeling safe walking in their own communities.

And Joe Biden's going to have to answer for that.

And I think the amazing opportunity we have as Americans right now is that we have the opportunity, unlike any time in modern history, to compare two presidents and two presidencies.

And man, when Donald Trump was in office, people remember how much different their life was.

Things have really gone basically 180 degrees in the wrong direction on so many different fronts.

And I think you're going to hear that from Donald Trump tonight.

And I think it's going to be up to, unfortunately, Donald Trump to call out Joe Biden because do we think Jake Tapper, Dan of Ash is going to do it?

I don't think so.

I think that is going to be his role tonight is to make sure he holds Joe Biden accountable.

Joe, why was your first decision shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline, rendering us energy independent no longer, jacking up the gas prices, causing inflation through the roof, allowing Russia and Iran to enrich themselves to cause these wars in Europe and in the Middle East.

Why hasn't your borders are, Kamala Harris, done anything at the southern border?

Why do you like 10 million plus Americans in here?

Donald Trump's ready.

And he actually has said, Glenn, I've been ready for this my whole life.

He doesn't need a week off to do whatever the heck they're doing in the woods at Camp David for Joe Biden.

He's ready to go.

He's prepared.

He's president.

He knows what to do.

He knows how to save this country.

I will tell you that

I've never, like you said, I've never seen this before where we have an A-B comparison.

We have two presidents running.

We know what each of them did, what each of them said the other was going to do,

and what did what.

And

I just think this should be

fairly easy for

your father-in-law just to

stand up and say,

you know, I don't care what your experts say i i look at the experts of the american people they can't afford groceries they can't afford rent they can't afford a new house and you keep saying everything is fine i hear them see them and we'll fix it what's your plan i mean it's just so easy yeah Well, that's right.

But here's the problem, Glenn, is that the mainstream media has lowered the bar so much for Joe Biden that if he even manages to walk out on the stage and stay upright, they're basically going to say this guy was a great success.

Look, Joe Biden can hack in on a stage with Donald Trump.

But he really does have the problem of really having to answer questions for the American people and tell people, well, why is life so much harder for me?

And what's your plan to get us out of it?

The answer is he doesn't have a plan.

The Democrats have nothing.

We know they're running this election on abortion and January 6th because they can't point to a single policy decision they have made that has made anyone's life better in America.

And so, you know, it's a three-on-one debate.

We all know that.

And if we're honest, it's really Donald Trump debating the CNN because I doubt that Joe Biden, even with all the little quips they've probably tried to set him up for over the past week, is going to manage to do much of anything.

But they really have lowered the bar so much.

So I think it's going to be up to Donald Trump to keep him honest and hold him accountable and actually call him out.

on so much of this as we're discussing.

Laura, could I ask you to hold for 60 seconds?

I got to do a commercial and then come right back to you.

Just one more question.

Great.

Thanks.

We're talking to Laura Trump, co-chair of the RNC and daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, talking about the debate which happens tonight, by the way.

Don't miss it.

So Ben Franklin once referred to this country as a democracy, if you can keep it.

Oh, no, wait.

That's not what he said.

Mr.

Franklin, what have you given us?

A republic.

If you can keep it.

There's an awful lot of debate going on about whether we're not a republic whether we're a republic or not you know the people who are trying to destroy us say that we are a democracy we're not they are deliberately muddying the waters because they believe it's a good winning political tactic to get what they want these are also the people in charge of our economy did you see that california no job uh no uh job increase all the rolls from california unemployment that shows that you know they were having big job growth,

big job growth from 20, what was it, 2022 until today.

All of it has been falsified.

All of it.

All of it.

Now back to the podcast.

You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

To hear more of this interview, find the full episode wherever you get podcasts.

Steve Dace is joining us now.

He does the Steve Dace show, cleverly titled,

and that follows this program, also cleverly titled, the Glenn Beck program.

And

he goes from noon to 2 Eastern on Blaze TV.

Welcome, Steve.

How are you?

Good morning.

How are you doing, brother?

I'm doing pretty good.

I'm doing pretty good.

I wish we were going to see each other.

I know are you in Dallas now?

I am, and I just took literally, I'm 50 years old now.

I just took the hottest morning walk of my entire life, so congratulations to me.

Yes.

Oh, it is nasty, isn't it?

The heat in Dallas.

It is nasty.

All right.

So Steve,

what do you think the president should do?

And then what do you think he's going to do?

Glenn, I honestly don't know because

I don't know,

you know, I mean, I assume we're talking about President Biden, or are we talking about President Trump, which President Biden?

President Trump.

Trump, Trump, Trump.

Okay.

In his case, I really don't know what to do because I'm not sure what condition his opponent will be in.

I mean, it is,

and I know this is going to sound snotty.

I really don't mean it.

This is seriously where we are right now.

I have no idea if the White House apothecary has one more doctor feel-good in him.

And so we get one of those performances from Joe where you don't see like his irises.

And he doesn't blink for like 40 minutes at a time, but he can at least get his lines out.

And if that happens, then, you know, you can attack him.

All right.

On the other hand,

I think it's possible that at any point he could scream out, how can you have your pudding if you don't eat your meat?

And at that time, I don't know what to do with that.

And just to show you how unsettled this night is, you know, we could be sitting here in the first, say, 45 minutes of this thing, and we're watching Trump do what he did the first debate against him, the last time, that turned people off.

And he's just pestering him and attacking him.

Like, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no.

And then all of a sudden, Joe Biden looks up and just says, this is the big one, Alice.

And the whole thing changes.

That could happen at absolutely any moment.

We've got one guy who has decided that he's fully embraced his grand Torino.

He's fully embraced the get off your lawn persona.

And the other guy is at in stage two, maybe three, dementia.

And so, brother, it's a roll of the dice minute by minute.

Let me tell you what I think would be a disaster for Biden.

is I know people are like, well, Trump's going to have to spend his time arguing with the moderator.

I think that's a disaster for Biden.

Here's why.

Any of us that have ever had family members that are battling early stages of dementia, it is asking them to come in and out of a conversation that is the hardest.

The more they have familiarity, the more they're consistently engaged,

the more likely you are to keep them alert.

So if you've got a 10-15-minute back and forth between Jade Capper, Dana Bash, and Donald Trump, and then suddenly one of them looks over at Joe Biden and says, Mr.

President, what do you think?

And he just has nothing.

I mean, that could be a devastating moment that 70 million people watch live tonight.

You're bringing up stuff I didn't even think about.

And they're not happy.

think.

It's not good to think about.

The bullying

is a worry only because

Donald Trump, I mean, he goes after the people that he's on stage with.

That's his M.O.

But if Joe Biden looks like a sweet old man,

you're right.

You're right.

That could be a disaster for Donald Trump.

Consider, though, what we are saying in this analysis that you and I share.

We are saying we are unsure if the man carrying the nuclear football who presides in the most powerful office in the world where other nations have weapons of mass destruction pointed at us currently, right now, all right, where a border is wide open and a black swan event is 10 minutes away at any point in time.

We are unsure, okay, if he is capable of putting up with, you know, middle-class

double trolling.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

That's just amazing to me.

It's amazing to me.

My advice for the last few days with Donald Trump has been: no matter what happens, just talk to the American people and recognize the pain they're in.

Because I don't think there's anything else that anybody is going to care about.

They're just not going to care about you lied, you did this, you know, this what's happened in 2020.

Nobody's going to care about any of that.

The one that will win tonight will be the one that can look at the people no matter what's happening and say,

you know, look,

you can't afford food.

You can't afford to buy a new house.

You can't afford, 61% of Americans can't afford to make their rent right now.

Do you want more of that?

Because I know how to make it stop and I'll make it stop.

I share that 10,000%.

If I were, you know, if I were running that campaign or if I was doing debate prep with with him, the one thing I would want to make sure is a certainty must happen this evening is at some point, Donald Trump needs to look into that camera, similar to what you just said, and he needs to reach the mean tweet voters that he lost before.

And he doesn't need to look weak

or anything of that nature.

He needs to show empathy.

And that's what you just described.

At some point, you need to give them a bridge.

to move away from the emotional turnoff they view your persona and the actual results of what matters in their daily lives and how they live.

And, you know, if you're in my situation, I've got one daughter I just married off, another one I just moved out, a son who's going to my senior year or his senior year.

And

I mean, used cars are 25% more than they were.

Mortgage payments are 100% higher than they were.

And it can't be like, hey, this doofus over here screwed the whole thing up.

I mean, he could do that at some point, but at some point, he needs to look in the camera and show empathy with the American people.

They need to see a real person there and not just the caricature the media has painted, which frankly too often he verbs into on his own.

So, and I know he's capable of this.

I'm going to be honest.

I'm one of the great mysteries about him with me, Glenn, is going back to when he first wanted to run for president, and I get a call out of the blue in 2013 from a known number.

I pick it up because those are usually only really good or really bad.

You know me, I'm going to gamble on good.

And it's Donald Trump just calling me out of the blue.

Okay.

And I never, I mean, do you spend any time around him on a one-on-one or small group setting?

The man is remarkably charming in these settings.

Okay.

And

there's got to be some way to communicate this in a corporate setting as a president or presidential candidate.

There's got to be a mode between I'm just riffing about Hannibal Lecter at my rallies.

or, you know, I'm just combating enemy media, which is enemy media.

But at some point, there's got to be a a moment here where he can blow up the caricature that he doesn't care about the American people.

He's got to, or doesn't care about anything other than himself.

He's got to seek that moment and seize it.

I have to tell you,

I wish

people had seen a moment that I had with him behind the scenes after the election, probably four months after.

And, you know, he was under attack and called all kinds of names.

And I said to him, we were standing in Mar-a-Lago and I said,

how you doing?

And we were getting ready to tape something and it was just the two of us.

I said, how you doing?

And he said,

not real good.

He said,

I can't live with myself.

He said, I promised the American people, I promised them that I would fix it.

And we were on our way fixing it.

And now

I lose the election.

They've dismantled everything.

And all of those people that trusted me

have to live through this.

I can't, I just can't, I can't take it.

And it was this moment of something that was absolutely not

about Donald Trump in any way, shape, or form.

And it showed to me how much he actually loved the people that voted for him and loved America.

And if there was, if there was some way, but I don't think because he has trained himself over the years, that there's a Donald Trump, the apprentice performer, and then

there's the Donald Trump who his friends and his family knows, and they don't seem to ever mix, but he's a completely different person.

You don't get, you'll get a laugh.

You know, he'll make fun of things or do, you know, something that he, that you know and he knows is going for a laugh.

But he's not a performer in in real life.

And

I don't know how to break that.

I don't think you can, but I wish he could tonight.

That is exceedingly well said, which is no shock.

You're in the Radio Hall of Fame.

But

I'd look at his children, you know, and you and I have both raised our own share of kids, okay?

When your kids get older and adults,

There might be, if you're really successful and wealthy, you might be lucky that one of them, if he doesn't like you, hangs around because they want to make sure they got their spot there in the in the will.

Okay.

But you don't go, you don't go, you know,

you don't bat a thousand with your kids if you have not demonstrated, because we're all flawed and his flaws have been on the society pages for all of our lives.

Okay.

You don't.

You don't bat a thousand with your children as adults that they still want to be around you unless you demonstrated the kind of empathy with them growing up at some point or consistently even that you just articulated.

Okay.

And with the American american people and i and i i tried to you know i made this point all the time during the primary to the desantis people i i am 100 convinced the number one issue in this election isn't the economy and it's not even the covet reckoning that i have been clamoring and praying for it's leadership the country is clamoring for leadership for leader

okay and when there is no leader the people will perish That's what's happening.

There's no leadership.

Yep.

And at some point, an effective leader to get people to follow them, it can't just always be a force of will.

At some point, you have to show empathy.

I mean, one of the wisest decisions God made in my life is making sure I had daughters before I ever had a son.

If that order was inverted, man, I would have been a terrible dad to him.

I needed the daughters to soften me up, to prepare me to raise a man.

Okay.

And the same thing is true here.

I mean, I didn't have a lot of empathy in me until I had daughters.

He needs to show the empathy.

We know he can walk into Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and lay down ordinance to a bunch of thugs and terrorist simps.

We know this, okay?

We know this.

We know that he can go there and maybe even to the point of nauseating, you know, he can,

you know, schmooze Kim Jong-un.

We know this, okay?

What we need to know and

what the what the segment of suburbanites that I live in that exist around the country that are going to decide this thing need to see.

is that he empathizes,

that he understands what is going on, what went wrong before, and what needs to happen that they are suffering through.

And

that connection needs to be made.

I want to play something that you produced that you said this is not something Donald Trump produced.

I produced it, but he should run it.

And I think I agree.

I'm going to play the audio.

I need to explain what's happening on the screen if you're just listening to us.

And then we're going to take a quick break, come back, and Steve, if you will, tell us what President Biden has to do to win tonight.

Here's the spot done by Steve Days.

It's quite simple, folks.

We just can't afford four more years of this.

Hunter's my heart.

He's the most honorable, decent person I know.

Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all counts in his federal trial in Wilmington, Delaware.

He's the most honorable, decent person I know.

At least Biden used to be able to talk.

Now he can't even do that.

After I signed the

PACATLAC Act Secretary,

puts his dimes.

All it is there to make sure

tremendous amount of things you can do.

21st century.

21st century results.

The Ministry of Cuba, the daughter of Ireland, daughter of Ireland.

You can tell us a 48th step on thinking of home.

The daughter of Iceland.

It's quite simple, folks.

We just can't afford four more years of this.

I'm not Donald Trump, and he didn't approve this message, but he should.

All during that, you're seeing the stats of how bad things really are

for food, energy, and everything else.

This is the best of the Glenbeck podcast.

To hear more of this interview, check out the full episode, Anywhere Podcasts A Found.

All right, so I want to talk to you a little bit about the debate tonight and

what I think Americans want to hear, what we're looking for.

If you're watching the debate, you're most likely

watching because you're a conservative.

Maybe there will be a few independents that are looking for a choice.

How am I going to choose between these two?

I don't know.

You know, there's very few Democrats that are watching it.

Apparently, according to a latest poll, it is mainly Republicans that are interested in this thing.

We'll get into the reasons why for

all three, you know, independents, Republicans, and Democrats a little later.

But here's why you should watch, and here is what people want to hear.

First of all, let me start with what they don't want to hear.

They don't want to hear about Russia Gate.

They don't want to hear about stolen elections, January 6th, or frankly, abortion in either direction.

They don't need to go over

the corrupt court cases of Donald Trump.

We got it.

or the corruption of the DOJ regarding Hunter Biden.

They They don't want to hear about Nazis or an argument over the Republic or democracy.

They don't want to hear about drag queen story hour or any more equity.

They don't want to hear about global warming.

It is at the bottom of the list of Americans' concerns.

Okay.

They don't want to hear about the past and COVID vaccines, especially if it's used as an excuse to dismiss or blame

inflation or lack of jobs.

Anyone who tries to sell, the border is secure, our country is in good shape, jobs are plentiful and growing like crazy, fuel is cheap and food is affordable, will lose.

Maybe not tonight, but in the fall, that message will lose.

People no longer believe in the system.

They don't believe that it's geared for them anymore.

They don't believe in the politicians, quite honestly, on either side of the aisle, and they certainly don't believe Jake Tapper and the press.

All of those things that were, you know, goodwill or we've got the full faith and trust in the American government is a thing of the past, the distant past.

People do not need, want, or frankly believe any more of the fake fear-mongering.

Why?

Because there's enough stuff out there to actually be afraid of.

And Americans are.

Here's what Americans want to know.

Who is going to keep my job secure?

Who's going to grow jobs?

Who's going to make sure this insane inflation

doesn't continue and in fact goes down?

They don't care about the Fed, how it works, or

what Janet Yellen thinks.

People don't want to choose between food and fuel.

I don't want to choose between making rent or having a car.

I can't afford a new home.

I can't afford a loan nor the 30% interest rate on my credit cards, which are already maxed out.

People want answers.

They want an actual plan that they are participating in, that they understand it and they're like, okay, yep, all right, let's do that.

They want a leader.

They care about the elites who are getting rich.

The banks are always bailed out without any consequence and it seems like the average American can't even get a fair deal.

That's what they want to hear about.

They're the people who create 70% of all jobs in recessions and tough times.

The small business.

People who are in small business have always been the backbone of job creation.

Yet they see the pattern.

It's the same with the banks.

Home Depot made money, was allowed to stay open, but the local hardware store, that was a health danger.

What's the game we're playing?

Because the American people feel like I'm on the losing end.

And it's become real for them.

They've seen what the reimagining of our economy is doing.

They've seen the reimagining of the police.

They know what that looks like.

What they want to know tonight is who's going to restore safety to our streets and sanity in the houses of justice and the DA offices.

Crime is unlike anything I have seen in my lifetime because it's everywhere.

I mean,

when San Franciscans were pooping on the streets, I thought that was novel.

Well, that's happening in a lot of places.

Philadelphia, New York, Detroit, you name it.

All of California except the farmland, and they could probably use the poop

at the farmland.

People want safe and clean streets.

They've seen the reimagining of our schools.

They want schools that will help them as parents teach their children reading, math, arithmetic, writing, usable skills, not how to march in protests.

No matter how insane or quite frankly how valid those protests might be, they don't need the school training them to be a protester.

Our children need a good education.

They don't need some indoctrination camp to teach them that they're gay, not gay, non-binary, one of 93 different genders.

They don't want any of that.

What they really worry about when it comes to their children is what is their children's life going to be like?

Because I can't imagine it.

If we stay on this road,

I don't see a bright future for my children, and that's bad.

and people know it

and they want to know who will stop the insanity remember that's what Biden came in as Biden won the last election because he was like isn't this crazy I mean don't you just want to and people voted for him because he's an old safe guy what's he gonna do well we've seen what he's done

Are our kids going to be able to afford an education?

Is it worth having an education?

What should they study?

With AI and everything that's coming,

what is the plan, guys?

Will my children be able to own a house?

Will my children be able to inherit my house?

Will they be able to have food or even grow food?

People worry that this is the end of a country that almost all of us, 75, 80% plus, love and want.

We may disagree on the problems or the solutions, but 80% of us love America.

They want a solution on the border.

They want answers on the border.

They worry about war.

Is my kid going to be sent off to fight some politician or global elite's war?

Something I don't want, something that I don't even believe in, something that I don't even understand, why we're in it?

You're already spending all of my children's money and you can't track any of it.

And are we seriously talking tough when nuclear war is an option on the table for not just one country, but seemingly several countries?

I mean, down on the list, they worry about freedom of speech, unlike they've never thought of it before, because it's becoming more and more real.

They're feeling it in their office.

They also worry about guns.

They worry about the senseless shootings in our schools.

But

are you going to address the real problem there?

Because if there's a shooting in the school, we know who's going to get the blame.

It's the gun or the Nazis.

But, you know, when we have a transgender shooting, in fact several of them, nobody seems to want to talk about that.

Nobody even wants to talk about the real problems of social media.

That's the main driver of suicide and the death in young adults.

They won't say anything about that because they're in bed with social media.

They won't call out the gangs.

They won't call out China and the drug cartels for the huge problem of fentanyl.

Instead, what they'll do is they'll make it harder for people in actual pain to get pain relief from their doctors.

Have you tried to get pain relief from your doctor?

Oh, God.

Well, you're already, you're already.

They're looking at you now to put you in jail because you need pain relief from your doctor.

And the doctor is also afraid of going to jail because if he messes up one thing, that's it for him.

And it seems more and more like the solution from our government for real pain relief, for pain and suffering, is, well, you can kill yourself.

But I digress.

People care

about their future.

For the first time in my lifetime, their immediate future.

Are my kids going to survive school?

Is my wife going to make it after going to the gas station?

Am I going to have any money left?

Will I be able to keep my house or my apartment?

People for the first time in my life are beginning to look at our civil rights, our bill of rights in a different way.

For instance, the right and

keep and bear arms.

That's always been theoretical in so many ways.

But it's not theoretical anymore.

And here's how.

We see on TV all the time people trapped in their cars, surrounded by Antifa or Hamas lovers, whatever it is.

And there's no help coming for that person in the car.

There's no help.

But God forbid you defend yourself.

No, the riders won't have a problem.

No, they'll be fine.

You?

No help is coming.

We see that.

You call 911 in several cities.

No help is coming.

Our wives, our daughters, our son,

even us, men.

We have to stop and get gas at night occasionally.

When did it become normal to keep checking over your shoulder to make sure you're not being cased?

The bad guys have guns.

And the way they get them is not through any legitimate gun store that you're breathing down the neck on.

They have them.

They use them.

And the police now are no longer allowed to police anymore.

And if they do, God forbid, the DA lets them go.

If our government won't stop gangs from coming across our border, from the terrorists of many countries that are known to be coming over our southern border, if the government dismisses rioters, fire bombings, calls the hardworking, tax-paying American that is

struggling literally to buy a loaf of bread the biggest threat to America, then

maybe we've already lost our country.

And too many innocents will lose their life.

People want to know who will keep them safe.

People want to know why our veterans are on the streets and illegal aliens are in five-star hotels.

People want to know why you won't arrest and convict criminals.

You won't go after the gangs or illegal guns.

You won't enforce our laws.

And then at the same time, a big push to take away my right to defend myself and the only thing that I'll have to defend myself.

But again, that's a distant second to I can't afford food.

I can't pay for my house.

I can't afford an apartment, a car, electricity, fuel,

insurance, health care.

And no slogan is going to work this time.

None.

Only leadership.

People need to see a leader tonight that actually sees them.

They don't care about their life.

They don't care about the past.

They need a leader that sees them, sees what their life is like for them every day.

They don't need anybody to tell them how bad it is.

They want to hear, I get it.

I see you.

I know the problem.

And I will fix it.
