Dinesh D'Souza has a new film out, and Steve Moore talks about the Trump economic miracle. Charlie and Dinesh discuss why the left is so afraid of Trump, and why even his supporters don't quite grasp his larger-than-life character and why they should vote for him! Also, Steve Moore explains why he thinks Trump is the best economic candidate in the history of the United States and why he should have been the first to call for an "insurrection" on January 6th, 2020, the day after the mid-term elections.

00:01:28.000And joining us now is great American and great friend and fellow Salem host, Dinesh D'Souza, who is behind, the powerhouse behind the new movie, Vindicating Trump.
00:01:55.000He's different than Reagan, who would... Reagan would make the case for himself.
00:02:00.000Here are seven reasons to vote for me.
00:02:02.000With Trump, he puts himself on exhibit, but he doesn't lay out the argument.
00:02:07.000And that's what this film does, and there's an accompanying book of the same title.
00:02:11.000The centerpiece of the film is a one-on-one with Trump And what I try to do in that, Charlie, is I try to bring out the private dimension of Trump that I think he has a manly resistance to showing on the public stage, to show the tumblers of his mind working, to show, in a sense, some of the ways that he feels about things.
00:02:34.000So all of this is in the film, along with my staple, you know, cinematic recreations, I, of course, tell the story of Trump.
00:02:43.000I try to get to the bottom of why the left is so terrified of this man and this man alone.
00:02:49.000Yeah, and Dinesh, before I play the trailer, you've done so many films that have been successful, especially in election years.
00:02:57.000As you have studied Donald Trump as a person and as a leader, what do you think that even his supporters don't quite grasp about him?
00:03:06.000I think the thing about Trump that is maybe the most striking is that he has the dimensions of a Caesar.
00:03:17.000This is really why the left accuses him of being a Caesar, of being a dictator, of wanting to subvert our system.
00:03:24.000On the one hand, we know that that's unfair because Trump was in office.
00:03:36.000So the charge of dictatorship is false, but And this is a point I make to Trump in my conversation with him, is I say, listen, they keep saying that you called for an insurrection.
00:03:46.000And I say, as far as I can see, you didn't do that.
00:03:48.000You didn't tell people to go in the Capitol, take over the place, stop the count.
00:06:29.000Charlie, as you know, in 2000 Mules we were looking back at what happened in 2020 and we released that film in the middle of 2022 and you were part of it and you were in it.
00:06:41.000I start with the premise that the Democrats can't cheat the same way again and again, in part because people know about it.
00:08:00.000I do a handoff to the kind of people who can now do something about it.
00:08:04.000And it's going to be their job to make sure that I mean, my goal, of course, in exposing this is not to educate cheaters or to show them how to do it.
00:08:11.000It's to blow their cover so that they can't do it that way.
00:09:42.000We can't back the court and we can't use the government to go after our political opponents.
00:09:47.000And so the left goes, wonderful, we will try to back the court in the full knowledge that when the other guys come in, they love the number nine.
00:09:54.000So even if we fail, we have no penalty and we can keep trying to do it.
00:09:58.000So, the question I was raising with Trump is, in a sense, if the dictatorial threat is coming from their side, isn't it true that the only way to stop it is to do to them, or to threaten to do to them, what they have been doing to us?
00:11:37.000You mentioned this previously, Dinesh, though, but looking at Donald Trump's life and his impact, where would Donald Trump fall in historical figures?
00:11:46.000Have we seen anything like it in American history?
00:11:49.000He is, as far as I can see, absolutely unique.
00:11:53.000And even his reaction to the two assassination attempts, the level of bravery, it's difficult for me to think of anybody alive, but even anybody historically, who would respond in quite that way.
00:12:10.000I think a good way to sort of understand Trump today is kind of in terms of the old movie westerns.
00:12:17.000You know, before I came to America, Charlie, I would watch, I was mainly exposed to America through films and mainly war movies and westerns.
00:12:23.000And if you think about the plot of a western movie, it's kind of what we're living through now.
00:12:27.000You've got a town and it's going pretty peacefully.
00:12:30.000It's called, you know, Shinbone or Pleasantville.
00:12:33.000And there's an old sheriff with a toothbrush mustache and an old rifle.
00:12:36.000You know, that's like the GOP establishment.
00:12:39.000But then some ruthless gangsters come in and they shoot up the town.
00:14:16.000But when I saw him in the Oval Office with my family, we saw a kind of dimension of Trump.
00:14:22.000And my wife and I said to each other, we never see that in the public arena.
00:14:26.000Trump has a kind of manly aversion to showing his feelings and showing vulnerability.
00:14:31.000But I said, if that part of Trump could be more seen by people, it would round out the picture and it would also endear people to him a lot more.
00:14:39.000And so my goal in this conversation with Trump was not to let Trump be kind of the runaway train that he sometimes is, but rather to sort of control the trajectory of the conversation so that I could Show the American people that private dimension of Trump that I had seen, but I don't think that he shields a little bit from public view.
00:14:59.000So Dinesh, studying Trump and putting this in the film, what does he need to do in this final sprint as we are, what, 34 days out from the end of voting?
00:16:38.000From the creators of Jesus Revolution comes a new film that's bound to touch your heart, White Bird, A Wonder Story.
00:16:44.000Discover the moving tale of Julian as he uncovers his grandmother's incredible journey to escape Nazi-occupied France during World War II.
00:16:51.000Based on the beloved book by the best-selling author of Wonder, this inspiring film demonstrates how one simple act of kindness can create ripples that last a lifetime.
00:16:59.000Directed by the visionary behind Finding Neverland and featuring stellar performances by Gillian Anderson and
00:17:05.000Academy Award winner Helen Mirren, White Bird promises to be a cinematic experience you won't
00:17:09.000forget. Catch it in theaters starting October 4th. For tickets and more details visit whitebird.movie
00:17:14.000What is the latest out of Iran right now? So it's looking like they did it launch their barrage of missiles
00:18:00.000But especially with that shooting in Jaffa, I don't want to jump to any conclusions because things can move very fast in a situation like this.
00:18:11.000So help me understand, if Israel responds, what might that look like?
00:18:34.000They could go after military facilities.
00:18:36.000They could go after nuclear facilities.
00:18:40.000That's pretty scary because the range of potential attacks is pretty high.
00:18:44.000I mean, you can definitely find some nutballs who would want to lob a nuclear weapon at them.
00:18:50.000I think that would be very bad if they did that.
00:18:54.000And that's what's frightening about this, is the range of potential responses is high and people are amped up, which means more extreme actions are possible.
00:19:03.000You can find people on the internet who are calling for basically Israel to do whatever it wants, and whatever it wants can be a pretty extreme thing.
00:19:12.000Yeah, so the Hezbollah proxy, how serious is the Hezbollah military that we know of?
00:19:18.000So, the number of fighters they have, I've seen estimates of about 15,000 to 20,000, so that's decently high for a non-state military in the region.
00:21:08.000By the way, he wrote the foreword to the book, which was really sweet of him.
00:21:13.000This is important for people who, if you're for Trump, you should read it.
00:21:18.000And if you know people who are not for Trump but are undecided, have them get this book because what we do in the book, Charlie, is just lay out With the facts, the official government statistics, what happened to the economy when Trump was president?
00:21:34.000We had the best economy ever before COVID.
00:21:37.000And what has happened since Biden and Kamala Harris came in?
00:21:41.000And I think we look at 20 major statistics, things like what happened to people's real incomes, middle-class people, what happened to the price of gasoline, what happened to the price of eggs and groceries, what happened to mortgage interest rates, what happened to small business conditions, what happened to consumer confidence.
00:22:01.000I could go on and on, the stock market.
00:22:03.000On 20 of the 22 major statistics and measurements, Trump is superior to Biden in many cases by a mile.
00:22:11.000So anybody who's voting on the basis of the economy and the pocketbook issues, this book really lays out a very strong case for Trump.
00:22:20.000So, Steve, I'm so glad that you're on today, because yesterday I was at the University of Montana and sometimes we'll get economic students that will come up to the mic.
00:23:02.000I don't know if you've been to that school, Charlie, all over the country.
00:23:06.000And I was surprised, you know, most of the students, it was a kind of debate Biden versus Trump.
00:23:10.000And I'd have to say, even at SMU, which is Texas, most of the students were, and actually there were some older people there who were actually for Biden.
00:23:56.000But people are still way underwater on their incomes.
00:24:00.000You know, I always say this election is going to come down to the three I issues.
00:24:03.000And I think you know what those are, Charlie.
00:24:05.000The three I's are immigration, which obviously they're going to have great on immigration, right?
00:24:10.000Real incomes for middle-income families, that's the second high incomes, those are down by $1,000 under Biden and up by $5,000 under Trump.
00:24:21.000And the third is inflation, and that one's a no-brainer, right?
00:24:23.000We had almost no inflation under Trump, and Biden has risen the price of everything by 25-30% when you look at the necessity.
00:24:30.000So By the way, every poll shows that most Americans think the economy's headed in the wrong direction, and I think the country's headed in the wrong direction.
00:24:41.000And Steve, I think that is actually the best argument.
00:24:45.000Instead of getting into the weeds about cherry-picked macroeconomic data, and Blake and I, we talk about this a lot, 70% of the country thinks the economy's crummy.
00:25:41.000And so let's go through then what Donald Trump was able to accomplish.
00:25:46.000Why was he able to pull off this economic miracle?
00:25:50.000What did he do, Steve, that unleashed the greatest American economy of our lifetime?
00:25:55.000Well, I think the very short answer to that question, Charlie, is that there's a very, very clear difference in these two candidates.
00:26:04.000Donald Trump, whether you love him or hate him, and I have great admiration for Trump, and I don't agree with him on everything, but I agree with him on most things.
00:26:19.000Kamala, I guess she's claiming she worked one year for McDonald's.
00:26:23.000I don't know if that's been verified yet, but we don't even know if that's true.
00:26:28.000So let's give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:26:30.000She has one year of experience working for a business and the rest of her life she's been in government.
00:26:35.000So why would anybody think someone who's spent their whole life in government would have a superior record on the economy than someone who actually knows how the economy works.
00:26:44.000I mean, Kamala Harris has no idea how businesses work, how to meet a payroll, how to make a profit.
00:26:51.000I mean, she talks about these greedy profitable companies.
00:26:54.000Well, Kamala, why don't you go out and start a company and see if you can be profitable.
00:27:06.000I feel like they'd be able to prove it at this point.
00:27:08.000By the way, hold on, as somebody said, somebody has to have a really, really unimpressive career if they have to boast about what they're having.
00:27:16.000It's the only job she ever got without nepotism.
00:27:51.000And there's some people who don't want to remember, they don't want to believe, you know, and look, we're a 50-50 nation right now in terms of, you know, red state, blue state and red state voters and blue state.
00:28:01.000But when most Americans, even the Biden voters will admit to me, I don't know if they ever do that with you, Charlie, they'll admit, okay, Trump was better on the economy, but maybe they don't like his position on abortion or they don't like this or that about him.
00:28:14.000But, Again, I think it's going to come down to those pocketbook issues.
00:28:18.000There is a condescension that is built into part of the Democrats where they're like, oh, you guys have memory issues.
00:28:24.000It actually wasn't good when Trump was president.
00:28:27.000It's a big part of their... Yeah, just like their misinformation is leading voters on the economy they live through.
00:28:44.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:28:48.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:28:50.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:28:55.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:29:01.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:29:48.000The gap between Harris and Trump on who do you believe will chart a better economic future for us has narrowed quite a bit, by half.
00:29:56.000Part of it is that Americans, when you ask the question, are you better off today than you were four years ago, many Americans misremember just how bad the economy was four years ago and how strong our economic recovery from the pandemic has been.
00:30:10.000Steve, it's people are stupid, is what he says.
00:30:14.000Well, this is the part of the history that the Democrats are making up, and Kamala Harris says this all the time as well.
00:30:22.000You heard her say, oh, we took over and the whole economy was a mess and it was a disaster.
00:31:02.000We had 1.5% inflation when Trump left office, and then 18 months later, we have a 9.1% inflation bomb that hits the economy, and it affects every one of us every day.
00:31:13.000And I'm telling you, if we elect Kamala Harris, we're going to see even higher inflation than that in a second term, because all she wants to do is spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, tax, borrow, borrow, borrow, grow government, And it will be quite a disaster for our country, which is why I feel pretty confident that Trump will win.
00:31:37.000But I don't want people to be overly confident.
00:31:40.000This thing might come down to the wire.
00:31:42.000I was in New Jersey this weekend for a wedding.
00:31:45.000Well, they get it from very well-financed left-wing billionaires from California and New York.
00:32:27.000And I do think, by the way, and I don't have proof of this, this is just an allegation, but Charlie, I really do believe a lot of money is coming from overseas.
00:33:38.000He'll executive orders on his desk and he said he will do this ready to sign basically reversing all of the crazy regulations that we put on our businesses.
00:33:49.000But I do think there's just going to be a burst of confidence.
