00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:26.660 Any decision-making authority over his own administration because, of course, he did.

00:00:31.580 But Kamala Harris runs from her own administration. 1.00

00:00:34.640 And you know why Donald Trump isn't afraid to talk about his record?

00:00:39.960 Well, number one, because he's actually honest with the American people.

00:00:43.920 But most importantly, it's a record to be damn proud of.

00:00:47.540 Low inflation, rising take-home pay, and a secure southern border.

00:00:51.740 So for anybody watching at home, just ask yourself the very basic question.

00:01:00.280 Kamala Harris has been in charge for four years.

00:01:02.880 Are you better off than you were four years ago?

00:01:05.780 No.

00:01:06.080 And I think any honest person would say the answer is no.

00:01:10.120 And you know who is certainly not better off than they were four years ago?

00:01:13.820 Michigan auto workers.

00:01:15.840 I mean, we just walked through thousands of job losses just in the state of Michigan

00:01:20.100 because Kamala Harris would rather tax American citizens and force you to buy electric vehicles made in China. 1.00

00:01:27.140 You know what Donald Trump wants to do?

00:01:29.640 He wants to reward Michigan auto workers.

00:01:32.400 He wants to give working people in this country a tax cut.

00:01:35.720 And he wants to let Americans buy the cars that Americans want to buy.

00:01:39.740 And we know when they do, they're going to buy a lot of Michigan-made automobiles.

00:01:49.640 So let's just talk a little bit.

00:01:51.280 We talked about manufacturing.

00:01:52.740 We talked about automobiles.

00:01:53.660 Let's talk about inflation because, you know, the media, they'll tell you,

00:01:58.720 and this is one area where Kamala Harris, she can't quite figure out what she thinks 1.00

00:02:03.880 because whenever they stick a microphone in front of her face, and that's rare, right?

00:02:07.880 Kamala Harris very rarely does interviews, especially with hostile media. 0.74

00:02:11.580 What she'll say, she'll actually brag about the fact that inflation is lower than it was when she took over.

00:02:19.700 Now, that's a bald-faced lie.

00:02:21.420 And I'd ask anybody, think about the fact that Kamala Harris, anybody watching,

00:02:27.740 think about the fact that Kamala Harris is bragging about inflation being lower. 0.89

00:02:32.560 When you go to the grocery, does inflation feel like it's lower?

00:02:36.180 No.

00:02:36.480 Are American houses actually affordable for American citizens?

00:02:41.800 No.

00:02:43.700 Everywhere you look, prices are higher, things are more expensive, and American citizens can't afford the basic necessities.

00:02:50.880 Look, I grew up in a family where my mamaw sometimes struggled to buy the things that she needed.

00:02:55.880 Sometimes she wouldn't buy prescription drugs so that she could afford to put food on our family table. 1.00

00:03:01.780 I know what it's like when Washington leaders fail to do their job.

00:03:06.060 And so Kamala Harris, instead of running a victory lap over your own policy failures,

00:03:11.640 why don't you get out there and talk to the American people and tell them

00:03:14.260 how you're actually going to fix this terrible inflation problem caused by your policies.

00:03:18.980 You know, gas prices are up 45 percent under Kamala Harris. 0.98

00:03:28.820 That's just in Michigan.

00:03:29.780 In Michigan, home prices are up 41 percent.

00:03:33.040 I know we have a lot of parents and a lot of grandparents in this room.

00:03:37.460 Speaking as the father of three young children, I would like my kids, when they grow up and move out,

00:03:42.380 and hopefully that eventually happens, but when they grow up and they move out,

00:03:47.980 I want them to be able to afford homeownership in the United States of America.

00:03:52.000 That's a core part of the American dream, right?

00:03:54.440 And we know a lot of our young people right now cannot afford to own a home in the United States of America.

00:04:03.040 Kamala Harris has failed to deliver the basic necessities of an economic prosperity for our citizens. 0.70

00:04:10.820 And I think that we ought to say something very simple to Kamala Harris,

00:04:14.220 and Donald Trump's very fond of saying it,

00:04:16.160 you're fired, go back to San Francisco where you belong.

00:04:19.380 We're getting a president the American people deserve.

00:04:27.960 I really worry, by the way.

00:04:30.140 You know, we don't talk about this enough.

00:04:31.680 I see we've got a lot of young people in this crowd.

00:04:34.380 We've got, it's great.

00:04:35.480 We've got some great generational diversity in this crowd, and I love that.

00:04:39.380 I love that about our events.

00:04:40.620 But to young people, I want you to be able to own a slice of your own country. 0.96

00:04:46.040 I want you to be able to build something, to build some wealth for yourself and for your family.

00:04:50.600 You know, under Kamala Harris's policies, we've got credit card debt that is through the roof. 1.00

00:05:00.920 We've got young people who can't afford to buy a home. 0.99

00:05:03.400 We're creating a country where my generation, the millennial generation, and everybody younger,

00:05:09.160 they're going to be paupers in their own country. 0.94

00:05:11.760 And I think that's a disgrace.

00:05:13.120 I want the American dream to be affordable again, and it's only going to happen when

00:05:17.220 we put Donald J. Trump back in the White House.

00:05:19.940 My friends, I did not realize this.

00:05:29.320 We are joined by a real celebrity, BrickSoup Man, right here in the second row.

00:05:39.140 And a way bigger celebrity than I am, this guy.

00:05:41.680 But you're going to talk about housing, and the media, they don't like to talk about the fact

00:05:49.520 that one of the biggest drivers of housing costs, one of the biggest reasons why our young people

00:05:55.080 can't afford to buy a home is because under Kamala Harris's leadership, we have let in 0.88

00:05:59.740 millions upon millions of people who don't have any right to be here. 0.99

00:06:03.620 It's a big driver of housing costs.

00:06:06.460 So illegal immigration, we care about it for a whole host of reasons.

00:06:09.520 We care about it because we want to raise our children in safe communities.

00:06:13.620 We care about it because we want people in our country who respect the rule of law,

00:06:18.100 who don't violate our borders.

00:06:19.800 We, of course, care about it because I know a lot of us know somebody who's been affected

00:06:23.760 by this terrible drug epidemic.

00:06:25.620 We want to give people second chances to get sober and to get clean, and that's not happening

00:06:30.620 when Mexican drug cartels are bringing fentanyl into our country, killing our people.

00:06:35.200 So...

00:06:36.200 So we care about the border for all the reasons that we discuss, and there's a lot of them,

00:06:46.720 but something the media just doesn't talk enough about is think about this.

00:06:51.220 When you bring in, and I think the number's about 25 million illegal aliens that we have

00:06:55.720 in the United States of America right at this minute.

00:06:57.980 When you let 25 million people into this country, think about it. 0.97

00:07:03.040 You've got to house them somewhere.

00:07:04.760 Most of them aren't living on the streets.

00:07:06.100 We've got American veterans living on the streets, but we've got illegal aliens living in first 1.00

00:07:11.040 class hotels in American cities all across our country.

00:07:14.500 But when you do that, you have American homes that are going to people who have no right to 0.99

00:07:20.480 be here in the first place.

00:07:21.760 And you know what that means?

00:07:22.720 That means American citizens can't afford to own a slice of their own country.

00:07:27.500 President Trump believes in this very simple principle, American homes for American citizens,

00:07:33.220 not for people who have no legal right to be in the United States of America.

00:07:36.500 You know something else that happens when you let in too many illegal aliens? 1.00

00:07:46.960 Hospital wait times get really big.

00:07:49.420 You know, when I was growing up, that's often how we went to the doctor,

00:07:52.940 is Mamaw would take us to the emergency room. 1.00

00:07:55.520 And you know what?

00:07:56.520 Emergency room wait times have skyrocketed in the last few years.

00:08:00.080 So why are we allowing illegal aliens to come into our country and get health care that ought 1.00

00:08:06.500 by right go to American citizens?

00:08:08.500 Why don't we take care of our own people and put American citizens first for a change? 0.99

00:08:13.300 It's got to stop.

00:08:20.860 The final thing I want to talk about with the border, because, I mean, look, you could talk

00:08:24.020 about the border for the next half hour.

00:08:25.600 But the other thing that is crazy about the border is in the state of Michigan, I didn't

00:08:30.080 know the statistic until today, there are 85,000 students in Michigan public schools who are

00:08:36.780 the children of illegal aliens. 0.74

00:08:39.020 85,000.

00:08:40.780 Now think about that.

00:08:42.080 Think about what it does to a poor school teacher who's just trying to get by with what they

00:08:47.380 have, is trying to educate their kids, and then you drop in a few dozen kids into that

00:08:53.200 school, many of whom don't even speak English.

00:08:56.280 Do you think that's good for the education of the American citizens?

00:08:59.640 No, it's not.

00:09:01.020 So what really bothers me is when Kamala Harris talks about the southern border, she talks

00:09:06.720 about how we need to be compassionate to illegal aliens.

00:09:10.840 And look, I think we're a great country.

00:09:13.380 We can be compassionate, and we ought to be compassionate.

00:09:16.020 But our compassion has to start with our fellow citizens, the people who deserve to be in

00:09:21.620 the United States to begin with.

00:09:22.900 And this is what I think is fundamentally different about Donald Trump's immigration policies

00:09:33.840 versus Kamala Harris's wide-open southern border, is Donald Trump believes, yes, we can be compassionate,

00:09:40.300 but the best way to be compassionate is to enforce our border laws and take care of American

00:09:45.760 citizens first.

00:09:47.660 And that is where the responsibility of America's leadership ought to be.

00:09:54.860 So I want to talk about one other thing, and then we'll take some questions from the

00:09:59.380 press.

00:10:00.380 But, you know, we've got 28, or depending on how I count, 27 days left in this election.

00:10:06.840 That is not a whole lot of time.

00:10:08.880 And I know that in states all across our country, including in some of the battleground states,

00:10:13.360 people are already voting.

00:10:14.940 You know, people have already been sending me photos where they went out and voted for

00:10:19.120 me and President Trump.

00:10:20.440 That's obviously an incredible honor, by the way.

00:10:22.140 To come from my family and to be sitting up here and asking all of you to make me your

00:10:27.000 next Vice President of the United States.

00:10:28.940 It's very humbling.

00:10:29.940 It's an incredible honor.

00:10:30.940 Now, you all are way too kind.

00:10:32.940 I appreciate it.

00:10:36.940 Now, y'all are way too kind. I appreciate it. But look, we're going to win this election,

00:11:02.500 I really do believe. We're going to win the state of Michigan. We're going to win this

00:11:04.880 election. But we're going to win this election, not just to beat the Democrats, as fun as

00:11:13.340 that's going to be. I'm going to really enjoy beating Kamala Harris. But we want to beat 1.00

00:11:17.420 Kamala Harris because we want the American people to have a government that they deserve,

00:11:21.960 a government that puts them first, a government that takes care of the American people's problems 0.53

00:11:26.560 and not the problems of illegal aliens and people who don't deserve to be here. 0.99

00:11:30.520 So let's just think about the contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. We talked

00:11:35.920 about illegal immigration earlier. Well, Kamala Harris has rolled out the red carpet to illegal 1.00

00:11:40.500 aliens, has said, we're going to give Medicare and Social Security benefits. That's the message

00:11:44.920 that she has sent to people who want to cross the border illegally and come to this country.

00:11:49.440 You know what Donald Trump's message is to illegal aliens? You got four months,

00:11:53.140 pack your bags because you're going home when Donald Trump is back in the White House.

00:11:56.620 Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris's entire economic policy is to tax American citizens and to force 1.00

00:12:09.120 them to buy things they don't even want to buy that are made overseas. That's terrible for American

00:12:13.660 workers. That's terrible for American taxpayers. Donald Trump's plan is to cut taxes on American

00:12:20.060 citizens, cut taxes on American workers, and penalize corporations that are shipping our jobs

00:12:26.260 overseas. That is an America-first economic plan.

00:12:35.780 Donald Trump's basic energy policy is drill, baby, drill. And it is a hell of an energy policy

00:12:44.060 because, look, we have got the most bountiful natural resources anywhere in the world. So

00:12:50.220 why does Kamala Harris want to put American energy workers out of business and force us to buy 1.00

00:12:56.700 energy from tin-pot dictators all over the world? Let's buy it from our own people, from

00:13:01.380 our own territory, and that's how you build American prosperity.

00:13:10.740 And that's actually, by the way, my friends, another big difference between Donald Trump's

00:13:14.740 policies and Kamala Harris's policies. You know, when they ask Donald Trump, what is your most

00:13:19.500 important thing you can do to lower inflation? He actually gives a very simple but a very specific

00:13:25.420 answer. Drill, baby, drill. Because energy goes in the cost of everything, right? Think about it. If

00:13:32.500 the truck drivers are paying more for gas, then the groceries they deliver to the grocery store are

00:13:37.500 going to get more expensive. If the truck drivers are paying more for diesel, then they deliver lumber to a

00:13:43.180 job site to build a house. That means housing is going to get more expensive, too. And of course,

00:13:47.380 we know, ask any manufacturer, one of their biggest costs is the cost of energy. So you lower the cost

00:13:53.140 of energy, you create good jobs, you create great prosperity, and you bring down the cost of goods

00:13:58.900 for everyday American citizens. It is a win-win economic policy. It is the smartest and most important

00:14:04.460 thing we can do. But Kamala Harris's economic policy, you heard her say it on The View today, 0.99

00:14:14.600 it's to do exactly what Joe Biden did, and it's going to lead to the exact same place. Higher inflation,

00:14:20.840 fewer Americans with good jobs, and a manufacturing sector that we're shipping to China instead of

00:14:26.660 building right here in the great city of Detroit. That is a lose-lose economic plan, and I think we

00:14:32.120 ought to have the win-win economic plan of Donald J. Trump. So before I take questions from reporters,

00:14:44.240 I want to ask a very simple thing. Absentee voting has started in Michigan. That means that you can

00:14:50.420 request and return a ballot right now. And we've got to do everything. We've got to take care of every

00:14:56.120 opportunity to vote that the state of Michigan is providing. Because look, I talked to a lot of

00:15:01.880 people. It's one of the things you do when you run for vice president. You talk to a lot of people,

00:15:05.000 and you know, 95% of the people I meet will say, I wanted to vote for Donald Trump in 2020, and I did.

00:15:11.060 But then a few of them will tell me, I wanted to vote for Donald Trump, but I didn't. Because I

00:15:17.180 planned to vote on election day, but then my kid got sick, and I had to go pick him up from school.

00:15:21.980 Or I had a really late day at work, and I didn't expect it. And so by the time I got out of work,

00:15:26.840 you know, working those overtime hours, the polls were already closed. I got to be honest with you,

00:15:32.480 I don't like the fact that we've gone from election day to election season in this country. But it is

00:15:38.000 what it is. And if the Democrats are going to take advantage of every avenue to vote, then Republicans,

00:15:43.400 we've got to do it too. So get out there, make your voice heard, and get out there and vote.

00:15:53.260 There's a website I want you to take down. I'm going to ask you to do two things here.

00:15:57.380 Number one, take down this website, swampthevoteusa.com. Swampthevoteusa.com.

00:16:02.900 On that website, you can check your registration. You can check your polling location. You can make

00:16:07.560 sure your registration is up to date. That is a very good resource for you to use.

00:16:12.000 The other thing I want you to do is I want you to take out your phone and take a photo

00:16:16.260 right now. You can take it of you and your friends at this event. You can take it of me up here on the

00:16:21.220 podium. This is making the Secret Service very nervous, by the way. So please move slowly, my

00:16:26.160 friends. But here's the thing. We're never going to have the power of the dishonest national media

00:16:33.100 behind us, but we do have people power. We can talk about why we're voting for Donald Trump,

00:16:38.880 and we can do it in our capacity as citizens of this country. So I'm sure you all have some social

00:16:44.920 media, or maybe you just text. Whatever you do, email, text, put it on x.com, put it on Facebook,

00:16:51.500 put it on Instagram. Just say why you're voting for Donald Trump for president. Because if every

00:16:57.580 single person does that, and a hundred people see what you put out there, then that means

00:17:02.020 thousands upon thousands of people are going to hear the truth about Donald J. Trump,

00:17:06.920 and not the dishonesty from the media. That is the biggest and best thing that we can do.

00:17:17.220 So before we hit the road, we'll take some questions from reporters. I want to thank you

00:17:22.840 all for being here. Thanks for having me. I'll leave you with some final thoughts, but it's such

00:17:27.340 an honor to be here and to get this welcome in the Motor City. God bless you all. Thank you so much.

00:17:32.360 All right. All right. So let me take a few questions from reporters. I'll answer them, and then we'll have to hit the road.

00:17:53.320 But we got a microphone I sure we're passing around over there. Yep. Go ahead. Great. This is Clara Hendrickson.

00:18:01.320 I'm with the Detroit Free Press. We're in the city of Detroit today where we learned in a recent Jack Smith filing

00:18:08.320 that the Trump campaign aide in 2020 allegedly urged supporters to riot at the ballot counting center.

00:18:17.320 So I want to make sure that the Senator can hear my question, which is would you discourage the campaign for engage from engaging in that behavior and from Trump supporters and engaging in that behavior?

00:18:33.320 So let me let me let me answer that question a few different ways. So first of all, first of all, of course, we discourage rioting. We do not riot. Nobody in this room and nobody in this movement is going to riot.

00:18:58.320 Second of all, your question is about a Trump campaign staffer, and I'll tell you that if you get a thousand people together and the Trump campaign probably has a lot more than a thousand campaign staffers, you're going to find somebody who's willing to say anything, especially in a leaked, a leaked message or private communication.

00:19:24.320 The idea that the Trump campaign either in 2020 or 2024 is encouraging people to riot is disgraceful. Of course, we're not doing that. And by the way.

00:19:31.320 And by the way, these fine people are law abiding citizens who work and pay their taxes. They're not going to riot no matter what anybody says to them.

00:19:49.320 And here's here's here's here's the final point. I think it's interesting that the media is so focused on a random message from a random staffer in 2020.

00:20:07.320 If you want to talk about rioting, let's talk about the summer riots of 2020 that killed 20 people that the media seems uninterested in.

00:20:15.320 Next question. Hello, my name is Sasha Calver. I'm a reporter with the Michigan Daily. So the University of Michigan all campuses has historically had some of the largest student voter turnout in the U.S.

00:20:37.320 Why should students in Michigan cast their vote for the Trump fans ticket? And additionally, how will your administration support students specifically concerning gun violence where you've rejected calls for tougher gun laws and bans on bump songs?

00:20:55.320 Essentially, why should students concerned about their safety on campus vote for you?

00:21:00.320 Yeah, so the first the first. Let's let's be honest here. I don't know. I don't know if a Ohio State graduate is the best messenger to University of Michigan students. So I hope.

00:21:19.320 And in fact, thank you, sir. You know, maybe we should just get we should get a clip of me saying something nice about Kamala Harris out to University of Michigan because then maybe it all vote for Donald J.

00:21:33.320 Trump if you just told him I was a Buckeye. Like, I you know, I'm always a little nervous about injecting myself into the OSU Michigan rivalry here.

00:21:42.320 But I think that we all all kidding aside. Look, we all care about the country. And that's why I think every person in this room is going to help me make Donald J.

00:21:50.320 Trump the next president United States. And it's in that spirit that I want to answer this question.

00:21:55.320 If I'm if I'm a young person in Michigan here. Here's one thing that Donald Trump and I want to do. First of all, we want to make it easier for you to build a life and to have a good career and to have a good job in your home, not to ship all the good jobs over to seas.

00:22:11.320 But to build a great middle class economy right here in the United States of America. I think that's something that matters to a lot of Michigan students.

00:22:18.320 I think the second thing that matters to Michigan students is I don't want young people in this country to be permanently indebted because we built an economy that turns American citizens into paupers in their own country.

00:22:33.320 I want them to be able to own a home, build some wealth for themselves and start a family right here in the state of Michigan and do it.

00:22:40.320 And do it because we've got smarter economic policies that allow them to thrive. Michigan students, people who are I mean, meaning at the University of Michigan and all across the state, because I know there's a lot of great universities in the state of Michigan.

00:22:58.320 We are turning an entire generation of American young people into folks who don't have enough money to own anything. That is a terribly destructive direction for this country to go in. 0.90

00:23:07.320 Donald Trump and I want you to be able to own a slice of your own country and we're going to pursue economic policies that make that possible. That's what we're going to fight for every single day. And on.

00:23:17.320 And on the question about gun violence, what I've said is that 90% upwards of 90% of the gun crime that's committed in this country is committed using an illegally obtained firearm.

00:23:35.320 So my point is. Making it unlawful to own that gun has not stopped 90% of these gun crimes. So what we've got to do is take some common sense security measures and I think the best way to reduce gun crime in the United States of America. I don't think this I think this is a statistical fact is to lock up people who are committing violence against their fellow citizens.

00:23:59.320 That's the most important thing.

00:24:06.320 And I, you know, I'm gonna butcher the statistics so I don't want to give them exactly. But if you look whether it's in Detroit or New York City, any of our major cities and you look at the violence problem, it is always a very

00:24:29.300 very, very small number of people who commit the gross majority of violent crimes. So why don't we get back in this country, whether you're, you're whatever your racial background is, whatever, whether you're rich or poor, get back to locking up that small number of violent criminals.

00:24:44.300 It'll make everybody safer, everybody more secure, and it'll actually give people public safety. And I think that's the biggest way we can reduce violent crime in this country. Thank you. Next question.

00:24:56.300 Senator Vance, Ken Coleman from MichiganAdvance.com. Detroit is 77% African American. The state is 14% African American. Why should African American Michiganders vote for the Trump Vance ticket?

00:25:12.300 Well, you know, we've got a great number of black Americans in this crowd right now. They could probably answer that question better than I could. But

00:25:24.300 But without calling everybody up here, because I'm a politician, I don't like to share the microphone with anybody as much as I like them. What I think they would agree with is number one,

00:25:53.300 Donald Trump wants to bring back public safety and an economy that brings prosperity for everybody. Good wages for good jobs. That's the Trump promise. And I think that's a great promise to black families in Michigan and to everybody else. Here, here's something else. I mean, there is this idea in the media, and I don't know where it came from, that somehow black Americans don't believe in public safety in this country. Well, we know whether you're Democrat, Republican or independent, black Americans don't believe in public safety in this country.

00:26:20.300 They want to empower our law enforcement officers to do their job. Of course, do it respectfully and make sure we've got good relationships between police and community. But we can have a good relationship between police and the communities they serve while we lock up the violent criminals and keep everybody safe in the process. I think that's very possible.

00:26:44.300 And look, I mean, the story of black Americans, especially in the city of Detroit, is actually very similar to the story of Appalachian white Americans who came from West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee. We moved to places like Detroit, black and white together because there were good jobs for people who were willing to work hard and play by the rules. And it wasn't always perfect, but for a generation in this country, people, black and white, 0.73

00:27:13.300 people, black and white, worked together, raised their families, built things in this country and created prosperity for the entire country. That was the story, by the way, in the steel mill that my grandfather worked in for almost 40 years. You had black folks and white folks living together, working together, and again, it wasn't always perfect, but it worked. You know why it worked? Because we had good jobs for people who were willing to work hard and play by the rules.

00:27:43.280 The destruction of the manufacturing economy in the state of Michigan has been disastrous for black Americans, and it's been disastrous for a lot of middle-class white Americans, too. We can make things in this country again. We can build things in the United States of America again. And when we do, it's going to bring prosperity to black and white alike. 0.56

00:28:02.280 Next question.

00:28:14.280 Next question. Is it on? Good afternoon, Senator Vance. My name is John Enott from Avanti Moda Magazine, and I'm a member of the local independent media here in Detroit, so hopefully I'll get a little safer reception.

00:28:26.280 I'm a native Detroiter, and I think Michiganders are really worried about a lot of things during this election cycle, and I think a couple that I hear all the time is they're very nervous about their First Amendment and their Second Amendment rights.

00:28:44.280 So the question is, what will the Trump administration do to guarantee the people of Michigan that their rights will be protected, and what's your view on those amendments?

00:28:54.280 And then also, to what extent should social media companies, if any, be able to moderate and control what people say online if it's illegal?

00:29:03.280 Yeah. So let me try to answer that question as completely as I can. Number one, I love the First and Second Amendments. There's a reason they're number one and number two is because they're the most important.

00:29:18.280 But, you know, you go back to the question the gentleman asked earlier about black Americans and particularly what black Michiganders have to gain from a Trump presidency.

00:29:27.280 And if you look at the censorship and the vaccine mandates, the idea that you should be fired from your job for speaking your mind, that fell oftentimes hardest on black Americans as much as anybody else, because it was often black Americans who are going on and saying, well, wait a second. 0.50

00:29:45.280 You know, why? And again, this is everybody, but it was happening a lot in the black community. Why are we forced to take this shot in order to earn a living and provide bread for our children?

00:29:55.280 Why are we being silenced by some of the biggest corporations in the United States of America? I think that affects everybody. But your answer about your question about technology companies, the biggest threat to the First Amendment in the United States of America is big technology companies who are trying to silence Americans for speaking their mind.

00:30:14.280 And the Trump campaign and the Trump presidency, we've got no use for it.

00:30:21.280 And you asked about the Second Amendment. Look, I believe we believe in the Second Amendment. We believe that people ought to be able to keep their families and their children safe. And it's it's it's that simple.

00:30:31.280 And I think there is a big difference between the Kamala Harris campaign. Kamala Harris has explicitly endorsed gun confiscation.

00:30:38.280 Donald Trump has explicitly endorsed the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. I'd rather be on that side. 0.92

00:30:43.280 I'd rather be on that side.

00:30:50.280 Hi, this is Jordan here with MLive and Ann Arbor News.

00:30:56.280 You've talked a lot about like EVs and that kind of stuff today.

00:31:01.280 What would you say to voters who maybe agree with a lot of your policies but are concerned about climate change and environmental impact of the automotive industry?

00:31:12.280 So here here's what I'd say, Sarah, and I and I appreciate the question.

00:31:16.280 So first of all, the most important thing that we can do to ensure clean air and clean water is to build more and make more stuff in the United States of America.

00:31:26.280 That is the biggest thing. Look, I would be lying to you if I told you that carbon emissions was my number one issue. OK, it's not.

00:31:38.280 But if your number one issue is carbon emissions, look at the two countries that have emitted the most carbon in the last 20, 30 years.

00:31:45.280 It's China and it's India. Make more stuff in the United States of America. 1.00

00:31:50.280 That's how you make sure we have clean air and clean water. And Kamala Harris' policies have done the opposite. 1.00

00:31:56.280 The other thing I'd say to folks who are worried about the environment is, look, I'm worried about the environment, too.

00:32:06.280 But here's what I really worry about. I worry about our food supply.

00:32:11.280 Like what has gone wrong with our food supply that we have got an obesity epidemic in this country unlike we've ever seen in the history of the world?

00:32:18.280 That really worries me. What are we putting? You know, we have all of these weird childhood diseases that we did not have three, five, 30, you know, three decades ago, five decades ago.

00:32:30.280 Does that suggest that we're putting too much weird stuff in our water or too much weird stuff in our food supply?

00:32:36.280 You know, one of the people that I'm really proud has endorsed this campaign is Bobby Kennedy Jr.

00:32:47.280 And I say that as somebody who was raised by blue collar Democrats, right?

00:33:00.280 The people who would have been Democrats in the 60s and 70s in this town, those folks have been abandoned by Kamala Harris' Democratic Party.

00:33:07.280 But Bobby Kennedy has this slogan that is so true and has a lot of there's a lot of real depth built into it. Make America healthy again. We I mean, you look at our young people.

00:33:25.280 We have skyrocketing rates of of mental health problems in the in the United States of America.

00:33:30.280 We use five times as much antidepressants as some of our peer countries in the world. Why are Americans five times as depressed as some of these other countries?

00:33:41.280 I think it suggests that we've got to do a better job at real environmental protection, not the fake Kamala Harris environmental protection, which apparently the only thing it means is ship all of our jobs to China.

00:33:52.280 Let's make Americans healthy again. Let's make our water cleaner and our air cleaner. And that's something Donald Trump and I believe in.

00:33:58.280 Okay. Thank you, Senator historian with CBS News. You said in an interview with Newsmax yesterday that that FEMA was disaster relief was being used to fund migrant to focus on migrants.

00:34:22.280 It rather Donald Trump also said untrue social that most if not all of the money that FEMA spent is on migrants.

00:34:30.280 FEMA officials say that's just not true. What evidence do you guys have?

00:34:35.280 Yeah. So here's here's here's here's the evidence. By the way, I want to make an observation about about these these these reporters. And I appreciate the question is, you know, when when people say that they feel endangered by a crowd voicing their opinion,

00:34:51.280 Well, look, my friends, the First Amendment goes in both directions. And so you haven't made this criticism to be clear. But but I read some article. It was in some I forget who published it, but they were like, well, journalists don't feel safe. And at some of our events. Look, not a single person here is going to harm you. They're just going to speak their mind and they have every right to do it. So God bless you guys. The First Amendment. We believe in it in this country.

00:35:19.280 But but sir, my point is about the focus of our current administration. And if you use resources, but most importantly, if you put people on the task of dealing, let's say, with the massive influx of illegal immigration, then they're going to be distracted from doing their core job of keeping Americans safe in response to disaster. Each of us. This is true of me. It's true of everybody in the world. We only got so much

00:35:49.260 time to focus and there's only so much time in the day. And if you take FEMA and you turn it into an agency that resettles illegal immigrants, that's going to take their focus away from keeping people safe after a hurricane. That's basic human reality. And I think there's no way around it. 1.00

00:36:05.860 Now, now what the fact checkers say, and we'll sort of, you know, we'll try to be as fair to the other side as possible, my friends. What the fact checkers will say is, well, there's a bucket of money that goes to illegal immigrants.

00:36:18.100 And that's a different bucket of money that goes to disaster relief. Well, I'm sure the Biden administration has never moved money from one bucket to the other.

00:36:28.400 In three and a half years, in three and a half years, we know that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are more than willing to move money from one bucket to another. If it suits their purpose, they ought to be moving money to the bucket that supports American citizens.

00:36:43.000 In the wake of these terrible storms. That's what I would like them to do.

00:36:50.720 But the final point I want to make about this is just bureaucratic focus. Look, I've seen a lot of wild stuff out there on the Internet. The problem with what I've seen from the Biden administration is that they're not focused on getting resources to people that need it.

00:37:04.220 When Kamala Harris is out at a fundraiser in San Francisco, meanwhile, North Carolina is drowning. North Carolinians have every right to say, where the hell is our vice president? And why isn't she focused on us? That focus has got to change.

00:37:18.680 The 82nd Airborne. And this is in 2010. You're never going to hear me praise Barack Obama. You rarely hear me praise Barack Obama. But in 2010, there was a terrible earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. A ton of people lost their lives. A ton of people had their livelihoods destroyed.

00:37:37.720 The 82nd Airborne was in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, under Barack Obama, 48 hours later. North Carolina is an hour away from the 82nd Airborne's headquarters. Why did it take a week to get the 82nd Airborne on the ground helping American citizens? It's disgraceful.

00:37:59.100 Go ahead, ma'am.

00:37:59.940 Hello, Senator.

00:38:00.940 Hello, Senator. Andrea Shalal with Reuters. I have two questions for you. One is, but both of them are local. So one of them is that Senator Sanders was at a rally on Saturday, and he talked about-

00:38:14.940 Is this Bernie?

00:38:15.940 Bernie, yes.

00:38:16.940 I actually like Bernie. He's kind of like a grumpy old man. I like Bernie. Go ahead.

00:38:22.940 Go ahead.

00:38:23.940 Well, so he brought up the comments that you've made where he said you've declined to honor the commitment, or to say if the Trump administration would honor the commitment to invest $500 million in the GM plant and to convert the Cadillac plant to EVs. I wonder if you can just clear that up for us.

00:38:44.940 And then the other question has to do with the very large population of Arab and Muslim Americans here in the area. And I'm wondering whether you're going to meet with them. I know that several mayors, for instance, the mayor of Hamtramck, have endorsed your campaign.

00:38:59.940 Hear, hear. Yeah.

00:39:01.940 But just yesterday, President Trump, former President Trump, said that he had been to Gaza. Later, a campaign staffer said that he had been to Israel, and Gaza is in Israel, which is not true.

00:39:23.940 I wonder if you could just say a few words about Gaza and also why you think Arab Americans and Muslims would would do better by voting for your campaign. Thanks.

00:39:35.940 Well, because let me answer the first question first. So neither me nor President Trump has ever said that we want to take any money that's going to Michigan auto workers out of the state of Michigan.

00:39:48.940 We certainly want to invest in Michigan auto workers as much as possible. What we've said is that Kamala Harris is offering table scraps, $500 million when you have an EV mandate that's going to cost 117,000 auto worker jobs.

00:40:03.940 I think that Michigan auto workers deserve more than the table scraps of Kamala Harris's Green News scam. That's what we're talking about. And again, you know, you talk to automakers, you talk to the manufacturers.

00:40:16.940 They'll tell you that electric vehicles are sitting on the lots for 90 days, for 120 days. Meanwhile, the gas powered cars are sitting on the lots for 15 days or 20 days. If you force Americans to buy electric vehicles they don't want that are made in China, you are going to throw this entire state into poverty. And Donald Trump and I will not stand for it. We're going to fight for these people. We're going to fight for their jobs. We're going to fight for their prosperity.

00:40:41.940 Now the second question about Arab Americans. I mean, look, we're thrilled to have the mayor's support. And I'm not meeting to your question. I'm not meeting any Arab American or Muslim American leaders on this particular trip, though we certainly will in future trips to Michigan. You all are going to get sick of me. I'm going to be in Michigan like, you know, 30 times the next 28 days.

00:41:03.940 And to be clear for the fact checkers, when I said I would be in Michigan 30 times, that was a slight exaggeration. That was something.

00:41:13.940 That was exaggeration used to effect. It'll probably be like six or seven times over the next 27 days. But look, I think the reason why, and this is one of these issues where obviously Arab Americans often have different views than Jewish Americans on what's going on in Israel, what's going on in Palestine.

00:41:33.940 But I think both Jewish Americans and Arab Americans recognize that what's in the best interest of Israel and Palestine is peace. And Donald J. Trump was the president of peace. And I really think that's it.

00:41:49.940 You know, I saw Kamala Harris said the other day that the biggest threat to the United States of America is Iran. And look, I think Iran's a big threat, but Iran is nothing compared to China. China is the biggest threat confronting this country.

00:42:04.940 But I think, I think, I think, man, it revealed that Kamala Harris seems to be totally fine with starting or escalating a conflict in every continent all over the world. Donald Trump believes peace through strength, stop the killing, get Americans out of harm's way and focus on building a peaceful globe.

00:42:26.940 That is how you help Palestinians. That's how you help Israelis. But most importantly, it's how you help American citizens is peace.

00:42:37.940 We'll do we'll do a couple more than we'll have to hit the road, sir. James Dixon, New York Post. When I was a kid, Detroit was the king of manufacturing, right?

00:42:46.940 In that time, China and Mexico, their rise has come on Detroit's decline. How do you make Detroit build again? What can you do from the White House?

00:42:55.940 So two big things. First of all, it goes back to President Trump's. I think it's most simple, but also his most specific public policy drill, baby drill.

00:43:06.940 We what the big advantage, the big advantage we have over China, over Russia, over any manufacturer is that we could have effectively free energy right here in the United States of America, unleash American energy workers and will manufacture much more.

00:43:21.940 But here's something. And this is something that is a real, real problem for Kamala Harris. She attacks Donald Trump when Donald Trump says that he wants to impose tariffs to protect the jobs of American workers. 0.86

00:43:34.940 Well, think about this. Let's say, for example, that you're what you want to manufacture in China and the wage in China, because sometimes they're employing literal slaves in China, actual slave laborers is three dollars a day.

00:43:48.940 So you can make a product in China paying somebody three dollars a day, using a literal slave, and then you bring that product into the United States of America. That is the destruction of American manufacturing, because Americans won't. 0.98

00:44:01.940 Americans won't. And most importantly, Americans should not be expected to compete with Chinese slave laborers. They deserve to have a good life in their own country.

00:44:14.940 And the only way to protect them from those Chinese companies using slave laborers is to say, if you want to come back into the United States, you're going to pay a big fat tariff before you do it. 0.97

00:44:24.940 That is an important part of our pro manufacturing policy. And anybody, anybody who tells you you can bring back American manufacturing without penalizing companies that are using slave laborers, they are lying to you. 1.00

00:44:38.940 Let's get real. Let's penalize the people using slave laborers. Let's reward the folks using American workers to build great products. 1.00

00:44:45.940 Do one more question.

00:44:48.940 Thank you, Senator. I wanted to ask you about Bob Woodward's new reporting, specifically about Trump and Putin's calls. Have you had conversations with the former president about his relationship with Putin and what those calls entailed?

00:45:06.940 I honestly didn't know that Bob Woodward was still alive until you just asked me that question. That's

00:45:17.940 what I what what what little I know about Bob Woodward is that he is I'm going to use I'm going to use a word here. He is a hack.

00:45:27.940 The guy's a hack. So have I have I talked to Donald Trump about his calls with Vladimir Putin? No, I've never had that conversation with Donald Trump in my life.

00:45:37.940 But if Donald Trump, even if it's true, look, is there something wrong with speaking to world leaders?

00:45:43.940 No, no. Is there anything wrong with engaging in diplomacy?

00:45:48.940 What Kamala Harris's approach has been to hide in a basement, hide from the American people and hide from world leaders. 0.99

00:45:56.940 And you know what? That's gotten us. We're on the verge of World War Three.

00:46:00.940 It's a disgrace and it's a complete failure of a foreign policy.

00:46:04.940 What one of my favorite my favorite Donald Trump moments of his first presidency?

00:46:14.940 You all may remember this, but do you know Kim Jong Un?

00:46:17.940 He's he's you know, he's he's the leader of North Korea.

00:46:22.940 And let's be honest, Kim Jong Un hasn't skipped many meals.

00:46:25.940 OK, so Donald Trump goes to Kim Jong Un and all you know, he meets with him and all the photographers come in.

00:46:31.940 And and and President Trump looks at the photographers and he says, all right, everybody, make us look good, make us look very thin.

00:46:38.940 And and Kim Jong Un shoots up like this. You know, he's kind of kind of offended a little bit.

00:46:42.940 But what what it showed is Donald Trump's I'm not, you know, I see a lot of you laughing, but I'm not just trying to make fun of Kim Jong Un.

00:46:50.940 The point is you have to go and talk to people.

00:46:54.940 You have to be willing to engage in diplomacy, engage in conversations.

00:46:58.940 That's how you keep the world from falling into disarray and war.

00:47:01.940 And Donald Trump was better at it than anybody over the last 50 years.

00:47:05.940 Well, we'll do we'll do we'll do one more. We'll do one more here.

00:47:15.940 If we can.

00:47:17.940 I know I said I said that was the last one, but this guy really wants to ask me a question.

00:47:25.940 It better be a good one, man, because you're.

00:47:27.940 Thank you. Senator, I represent Polish media, conservative media.

00:47:39.940 Poland is the best ally America ever had in Europe.

00:47:42.940 It's a great. That's right.

00:47:44.940 Beautiful speech of Donald Trump in 2019 in Warsaw.

00:47:49.940 Sir, Kamala Harris claims that Polish American Catholics with vote for Harry's world ticket.

00:48:00.940 What is your message to Polish American Catholics and Catholics altogether?

00:48:06.940 Well, she she said it better than I could.

00:48:11.940 My message is vote Trump and make sure everybody you know votes Trump.

00:48:16.940 Look, Kamala Harris has been the biggest disaster for religious liberty in the history of this country.

00:48:23.940 Kamala Harris.

00:48:26.940 She wants to force Catholic nuns to engage in procedures that violate those Catholic nuns conscience. 0.60

00:48:35.940 Donald Trump and I think we're a big enough country to let Catholic nuns live their lives as they choose 1.00

00:48:39.940 and to live out their values as fully as they want to.

00:48:42.940 Kamala Harris has tried to make it so that religious organizations can't do the things that they want to do. 1.00

00:48:48.940 Donald Trump and I love our churches and want to empower them to minister to people,

00:48:53.940 because we think that the best people to minister are those on the ground,

00:48:57.940 supporting our fellow citizens and making their lives more blessed and easier.

00:49:02.940 And Donald Trump, when he was president, you know who Vladimir Putin was invading?

00:49:15.940 Nobody.

00:49:16.940 Nobody.

00:49:17.940 Under the leadership of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin kept in his own country,

00:49:23.940 which is where we'd like to keep him.

00:49:24.940 Under the policies of Kamala Harris, Vladimir Putin seems to want to invade a lot of people.

00:49:29.940 And so if you're a Polish Catholic, if you're a Polish American,

00:49:33.940 if you just care about common-sense foreign policy

00:49:36.940 and you want religious people to be able to live their faith,

00:49:39.940 Donald Trump is the only ticket in town.

00:49:42.940 Vote Trump for religious freedom.

00:49:44.940 Vote Trump for prosperity.

00:49:45.940 Vote Trump for world peace.

00:49:47.940 So that, unfortunately, is going to be the last question.

00:49:53.940 But let me leave you with one final thought.

00:49:55.940 You know, I've got to say to you, other than raising a family with this beautiful person to my right here,

00:50:04.940 the greatest honor of my life is to be able to run for Vice President of the United States.

00:50:08.940 It is the coolest thing.

00:50:09.940 You get to see this country in a totally different light.

00:50:12.940 I mean, Michigan, one of these reporters asked me earlier when we were doing a private conversation backstage,

00:50:18.940 she said, every time you come to town, the weather is good in Michigan.

00:50:22.940 And I guess my response is, Michigan, elect me Vice President.

00:50:27.940 I'll come into town all the time and we'll keep Michigan weather looking pretty good.

00:50:31.940 But this is the most beautiful country anywhere in the world.

00:50:39.940 We have the best natural resources, natural resources that the Russians, the Chinese would literally kill for. 1.00

00:50:45.940 And on top of it, we've got the most gracious and most generous people anywhere in the world.

00:50:51.940 I really do believe that.

00:50:53.940 You know, I will meet people who tell me that they're struggling to buy groceries under Kamala Harris's economy.

00:51:02.940 But then they'll spend 30 seconds telling me about their life.

00:51:06.940 And then they'll spend three minutes telling me that they're praying for my family and asking me how I'm doing.

00:51:11.940 And what that teaches me, what that teaches me is that we have a generosity of spirit in the United States of America that though we have bad leadership,

00:51:21.940 it is never going to destroy what makes this country great in the first place.

00:51:26.940 And that's our people.

00:51:27.940 That's all of you.

00:51:28.940 And I'm so grateful to you.

00:51:30.940 But what I do really worry is that this country is never going to be able to live to its full potential with the broken leadership of Kamala Harris.

00:51:41.940 Groceries are never going to be affordable if we have the broken leadership of Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:51:46.940 We're not going to have peace in the world if we have the broken leadership of Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:51:53.940 So over the next 27 days, what I'd ask you all to do is to do everything that you can to give the American people a president who is fit to lead and fit to serve this great country.

00:52:05.940 Elect Donald J. Trump. Let's go get it done.

00:52:08.940 Let's do it together.

00:52:09.940 And let's take this country back.

00:52:10.940 God bless you all.

00:52:11.940 Thank you for having me.

00:52:12.940 And thank you for seeing me in the great state of Michigan.

00:52:23.940 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:52:35.940 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:52:41.940 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:52:44.940 Christ is king.

00:52:45.940 You said, I'm a knucklehead at times.

00:52:48.940 And I think you were referring to the time that you said that you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square unrest when you were not.

00:52:57.940 Yeah.

00:52:58.940 Is that kind of misrepresentation, isn't that more than just being a knucklehead?

00:53:04.940 I think folks know who I am.

00:53:05.940 And I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong, rather than a pathological liar like Donald Trump.

00:53:15.940 For Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional.

00:53:24.940 She has no role in this.

00:53:26.940 In fact, she's been vice president for three and a half years.

00:53:29.940 I've dealt with a number of storms under this administration.

00:53:32.940 She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts.

00:53:37.940 You don't like misinformation.

00:53:38.940 I said that I actually said we have the money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene and also Hurricane Milton.

00:53:48.940 Now, we're now there's going to be a shortfall, right, because we don't know how bad it's Hurricane Milton is going to be.

00:53:56.940 And so we're going to need additional funding.

00:53:59.940 We're going to need additional funding.

00:54:00.940 That's exactly what I just asked about.

00:54:01.940 And you said it was misinformation.

00:54:03.940 No.

00:54:04.940 You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden's recent crackdown on asylum seekers.

00:54:12.940 Why didn't your administration take those steps in 2021?

00:54:15.940 The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken immigration system, knowing that if you want to actually fix it, we need Congress to act.

00:54:27.940 It was not taken up.

00:54:28.940 Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?

00:54:37.940 There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.

00:54:46.940 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard here.

00:54:48.940 Today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:54:50.940 We are live here in Washington, D.C.

00:54:53.940 Today is October 8th, 2024.

00:54:55.940 Anno Domini.

00:54:57.940 J.D. Vance there leading a whirlwind, not only speech, but presser.

00:55:03.940 I really like, by the way, the way that J.D. combines his speeches with press conferences.

00:55:10.940 So you get this you get this kind of situation where, you know, the reporters are able to come up and ask questions, but he's surrounded by his supporters.

00:55:19.940 So it's basically like they have to come onto his turf to be able to do this.

00:55:25.940 And, you know, I just I think it's wonderful.

00:55:27.940 I think it's fantastic.

00:55:28.940 I kind of wish Trump would do this, to be honest.

00:55:30.940 Trump should should start doing these as well.

00:55:32.940 Just start taking questions from reporters at the end of the rallies.

00:55:35.940 And that would really liven things up.

00:55:38.940 You know, why not?

00:55:39.940 We could easily set it up in such a way where he's able to do so.

00:55:42.940 But like today, folks, we've seen the air coming out of the balloon.

00:55:48.940 The wheels are coming off the car of the Kamala Harris campaign.

00:55:53.940 She is crashing.

00:55:54.940 The 60 minutes was abysmal.

00:55:57.940 This stuff on the view.

00:55:59.940 Call her daddy. 0.80

00:56:00.940 It is not going to get any traction whatsoever.

00:56:03.940 It's just not.

00:56:04.940 It's just not going to get any traction.

00:56:06.940 And to the extent that it does, it's going to get traction to make people view her negatively.

00:56:12.940 This is not someone that anyone is going to put any thought into.

00:56:15.940 And by the way, this is what happens when you take a candidate.

00:56:19.940 Don't run a primary and then have them up in front of a national stage.

00:56:25.940 So, folks, I've got a lot of stuff going on here.

00:56:27.940 You got a lot of stuff.

00:56:29.940 So make sure that you're following human events.

00:56:31.940 Make sure you're following X.

00:56:32.940 We're going to be here tomorrow throughout the rest of the week.

00:56:34.940 We've got a lot of stuff going on.

00:56:36.940 Vibes seem good right now.

00:56:38.940 But keep in mind.

00:56:39.940 Keep in mind.

00:56:40.940 Many things can happen.

00:56:42.940 Many things can change.

00:56:44.940 We got a lot of football left.

00:56:46.940 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission.

00:56:48.940 We'll be sure.

00:57:04.940 We'll be right back.

00:57:18.940 We'll be right back.
