00:02:17.000And then I want to show you how things have grown over the last year.
00:02:21.000Because what we're experiencing is not normal.
00:02:23.000And the media is actively and intentionally ignoring it.
00:02:27.000You see, the media is actively not paying attention to what is happening on these college campuses and what we're doing.
00:02:34.000This is one of the most exciting news stories in the country.
00:02:38.000It's one of the most important things that is occurring and very few outlets are even mentioning that the most popular thing happening on the college campuses right now Are the tours that we are doing.
00:10:34.000Todd says, my daughter, home on fall break from college in Florida, we live in Georgia, is headed to the polls with me this morning, and we banked our votes.
00:10:42.000First time 19-year-old voter vote for Donald Trump.
00:10:58.000Arizona in MSNBC. It's actually very interesting.
00:11:02.000Lately, left-wing media is at least giving us a little bit fairer of a shake than even establishment right-wing media.
00:11:10.000We're seeing this right now, that establishment-entrenched right-wing interests actually are quietly hoping that we don't win this election because it means that Donald Trump actually might become president.
00:11:21.000And I'll tell the full story after the election because it's a little bit of a detour from the core ethos that we have emphasized in the next 19 days.
00:11:30.000But the establishment Republican operatives want us to lose and lose the country because if we were to win, they won't get credit for it and Donald Trump were to win.
00:11:43.000I have so much evidence of this that I'll share after the election, but we'll get to that later.
00:13:17.000And I should note, we did not find a single person who audibly would tell us that they voted for Kamala Harris.
00:13:22.000These were Trump supporters getting out to vote early in the all-important Mojave County.
00:13:26.000We met one man who did not vote in 2020, but he said he was horrified by the state of the country, so he's voting here in 2024.
00:13:33.000We met three other voters, one that moved from California, one that moved from Oregon, blue states, who said that they moved here and were eager to vote in a state where Donald...
00:13:43.000And so it's those types of voters that not only Republicans are watching come to the polls, but also Democrats have a close eye, understanding that they need to really win the Maricopa County area to make up for any potential juicing of turnout here among the MAGA faithful in places like Mojave County, Jose.
00:14:10.000The Von Hilliard piece says, no, no, no.
00:14:12.000There are new voters that are coming in because when you open up the voting portfolio or the voting days, you're going to have first-time voters that now have more options.
00:14:21.000Those first-time voters, they're not as likely, because they've never voted before, To treat election day as almost a holy day and a sacrosanct day that many of us do.
00:16:17.000They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.
00:16:22.000There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections.
00:16:24.000Just solid, science-based nutrition and behavior change.
00:16:27.000And finally, a probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.
00:17:34.000Ryan, we have not even touched on the Brett Baer-Kamala Harris interview.
00:17:39.000I would believe it was closest to the Hindenburg yesterday.
00:17:43.000Walk us through your analysis of it, and I want to play some pieces of tape.
00:17:46.000But first, Ryan, your thoughts on that interview that happened yesterday.
00:17:49.000Well, I think that if you're going to do a media strategy and change your media strategy to reach out to voters you have not really spoken to, which is what Kamala Harris is doing, you have to ask yourself, who was she trying to talk to, right?
00:18:07.000Was it Republicans who were open to voting for her, or was it to replay her hottest clips for the Morning Joe the next day?
00:18:14.000I think the intention was for moderate Republicans, but I think in the end she kind of surrendered to just going back to the Morning Joe crowd.
00:18:21.000Her answer on immigration was horrendous.
00:18:25.000She didn't let Brett Baier actually bring up the facts correctly as he tried to do.
00:18:30.000She interrupted him that she offered amnesties, not an actual solution to the border crisis.
00:18:35.000She was complaining two different immigration bills, neither which one would have actually solved the border crisis.
00:18:42.000Her answer on Biden's age and what she knew with what is probably one of the greatest cover-ups ever in American history that the president had severe mental decline, she wouldn't answer that.
00:18:54.000And then when she was asked about the transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants, she said, I'll follow the law, which is not an answer because you helped create the law.
00:19:04.000So she had a few good moments for Democrats as far as attacking Trump goes, things that were effective, one-liners that they would like.
00:19:12.000But as far as reaching out to Republicans who may not like Trump but care about the issues quite a bit, I think she totally bombed.
00:19:26.000I wish that Bret Baier would have at least allowed the non-answer on the immigration question to marinate a little bit more, because that was actually the best part of...
00:21:04.000Yeah, no, it's very hard to run as the change candidate when you are the incumbent vice president.
00:21:09.000I think, and she's using her gender and race to be the change factors, not really the policies, because she kept on saying, my administration will be different than Biden's.
00:21:27.000I do think Brett should have let her talk a little longer before trying to interrupt her, but she did show up late to the interview.
00:21:34.000And Brett said that her staff was cutting it off as quickly as possible because this is, I think, the very first time there was a genuinely, not hostile interview, but adversarial interview she's faced in any real—I mean, maybe she had one on 60 Minutes, but that was really the only other adversarial interview she ever did as running for president.
00:21:54.000And I think that she completely squandered the moment where she could have sat there and said something like, you know, we got it wrong in the past, but I'm a new generation.
00:22:03.000But she didn't, I guess, didn't want to sit there and disrespect Joe Biden.
00:22:07.000And at the same time, she couldn't bash Barack Obama because it was eight years of Obama, four years of Trump, four years of Biden.
00:22:24.000What does it matter that he was running for office in 2015?
00:22:26.000He wasn't in charge of anything besides the Trump company.
00:22:30.000What they're getting at, and let me make sense of this, is that Kamala Harris, her team has data that the American people are fatigued with the current state of politics.
00:22:43.000And so they're misreading that data, and they think that their strategy can be like, oh, you're fatigued because of Trump, and therefore he's kind of this like shadow and decade-long incumbent that we need to turn the page on.
00:23:06.000Again, the analysis is wrong, but the data is itself...
00:23:09.000Like, yes, Americans are fatigued with politics.
00:23:11.000Americans are kind of tired of these cycles, and they want it to be over with.
00:23:15.000So the trick they've done is like, okay, Trump is this decade-long incumbent, even though when he's not in power, he's still ruining our politics, and everything will be great once we remove him.
00:23:27.000And it is such a deeply flawed and risky political strategy to try and convince the American body politic that, oh, I'm actually not in charge when I'm in charge, so still give me more power.
00:23:41.000This is what you were just mentioning, Playcut 87.
00:23:45.000Madam Vice President, it was a policy decision in the early part of your administration.
00:23:49.000I will let one of the mothers talk about it.
00:23:54.000Because of the Biden-Harris administration open border policies catch and release, they were enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program.
00:24:03.000This meant that they were released into the United States.
00:24:06.000It was not even a full three weeks later that they would take my daughter Jocelyn Nungare's life.
00:24:11.000I believe the Biden-Harris administration open border policies are responsible for the death of my daughter.
00:24:46.000I mean, so first of all, with what you're saying before about they're tired of politics, they are tired of the media's coverage of politics.
00:24:53.000They are tired of the way that the media has made Trump the center of everyone's life.
00:24:57.000It is not healthy for a presidential candidate to be the center of your life where you feel like every day may be in the world because the media is telling you it could be the end of the world.
00:25:07.000On the immigration thing, what she doesn't want to admit, and what, see, here's, she doesn't It's very, very important.
00:25:14.000She sits there and says border crossings are down from their height, which they are.
00:25:18.000And then she says we needed a congressional action, which is untrue.
00:25:22.000They had all the laws on the books that they needed.
00:25:25.000They only started using some of them and very, very few rather recently in order to sit there and bring numbers down before the election.
00:25:34.000Her entire thing, it's an act of Congress.
00:25:37.000Congress gave the president almost every law he needs back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
00:25:42.000This is a trope that she's using to sit there and say, it's not my fault, push the buck to somebody else, but also we're having good results.
00:25:52.000Yeah, and can you speak to this, though?
00:25:54.000Again, we mentioned it briefly, but this kind of rather insulting idea that Trump is still running the country for 10 years, that Trump is the deep state, that Trump's actually in charge.
00:26:05.000That's basically their argument, that Trump is the deep state, that even though they have all the power and control of the agencies, Trump has been this, like, decade-long pseudo-dictator of the country.
00:26:15.000Somehow Donald Trump is able to end bills from being passed saying Donald Trump is able to sit there one truth social post at a time from stopping Congress from reacting and doing it.
00:26:25.000That is, if that were true, when Donald Trump was president, he would have gotten all the money for the wall on day one.
00:26:32.000They have this dual vision of Donald Trump that he is a dementia-ridden, low-IQed individual and a secret mastermind who's able to plot destructions from the back of his phone when he's going to McDonald's.
00:26:47.000This is like the two separate worlds that Donald Trump lives in their head simultaneously and they can't kind of concretely get which one it is.
00:26:56.000She calls him, like in the interview, she calls him, I think, a diminished man or somebody with You know, signs of decline or something to that effect.
00:27:03.000And at the same time, he is secretly operating the country To any thinking person, you sit there and say, that doesn't make any sense.
00:27:13.000You're either an evil genius or you are a bumbling fool who happens to be the luckiest man in America.
00:27:19.000But only to a liberal mind could someone like Kamala Harris be a genius and Joe Biden be completely healthy, as Morning Joe said he was, and Donald Trump's an idiot and so is Elon Musk.
00:27:32.000And they're just lucky throughout their entire life.
00:27:35.000It just, it doesn't make any sense when you sit there and you think about it.
00:27:37.000You know, it's just dumb luck that we get satellites into orbit.
00:29:19.000Just yesterday, Ryan, about how, in the context of riots, he was saying, let's just bring the military into it to deal with American citizens.
00:29:36.000The surge of violent crime, it was like Ferguson, the Ferguson effect and the Floyd effect.
00:29:40.000Respectfully, you've got to explain to me how George Floyd's death resulted in 15 years.
00:29:46.000What happens is after the Ferguson riot and after the Floyd riot, policemen, in fear of their jobs many times and political coverage, pulled back from their jobs, resulting in an incursion.
00:29:57.000Ryan, listen, I got to stop you there.
00:30:00.000You can look at the Washington Post numbers on this.
00:30:02.000Ryan, we got to stop you there because you're literally making a connection out of your own conjecture.
00:30:22.000I said it, I was more shocked because I genuinely thought that everyone working in the news industry would have heard about something that CNN itself covered.
00:30:30.000So I was in shock at parts of times that they were sitting there and saying it because I thought they were, I honestly thought it was like a ruse.
00:30:37.000I was like, they must be pulling my leg that they are working in the media and don't know very basic things on crime statistics.
00:30:44.000Considering a lot of people on the show that I was on talk about race like five million times a day.
00:30:52.000So that was exhausting and infuriating.
00:30:54.000And then I was going back and forth on it.
00:30:56.000And I was like, do I, in my head, because when you're doing live TV and Charlie, you know, because you've done it, like there's what you're saying, you're listening and you're thinking, what am I going to say next?
00:31:05.000And how is it going to play, you know, to the audience, to the people I'm around?
00:31:09.000Like there's a, your brain is moving a mile a minute.
00:31:12.000And I'm thinking, do I bring up like race and violent crime statistics right now?
00:31:17.000And like, do I just throw a nuclear bomb in the middle of it and then go to commercial break and then sit with these people for the next hour?
00:31:24.000But I was just going back and forth on a lot of There are talking points and nonsense, and it's hard when there's five people screaming at you the entire time.
00:31:33.000But I'll tell you, after the segment was over, it was like one of the nastiest moments ever.
00:31:37.000There were two ladies sitting to my right, and one, we went to commercial, one looked at the other, pointed at me and goes, what's his name?
00:31:46.000And the other one goes, I have no idea.
00:32:01.000And then we were going into commercial, and Bakari Sellers, who was doing the Foghorn impersonation before, He was in the middle of commercial break.
00:33:17.000Yeah, I mean, it was, I mean, if I was about to say, like, listen, we all need to read Steve Saylor and just have a moment right now and we'll have a really educational experience for a CNN audience, but I didn't go that far.
