00:00:30.000
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.480
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.040
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:52.680
Look, the NRA, I was an NRA guy for a long time.
00:00:59.640
Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact check.
00:01:02.680
And since you're fact checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on.
00:01:06.900
So there's an application called the CBP One App, where you can go on as an illegal migrant,
00:01:12.080
apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala
00:01:21.160
That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years.
00:01:25.140
That is the facilitation of illegal immigration, Margaret, by our own leadership.
00:01:30.440
It has now been five days since Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeast.
00:01:34.100
The death toll is now at least 149, with hundreds more still missing.
00:01:38.420
Hundreds of thousands still remain without power.
00:01:45.220
We don't want you to donate time unless we ask for you.
00:01:49.200
And we don't want you to donate stuff to other people.
00:01:52.780
You need to just donate money and stuff to us and get your instructions from us and listen
00:02:00.620
And then you say, they said yesterday, we don't go into areas that the roads are not
00:02:12.020
Like, that is your job, to go into the areas that are hit by disaster and provide relief.
00:02:19.140
What the government is doing right now to the entire state of North Carolina and Tennessee
00:02:27.780
Like, I do not physically have the words for it.
00:02:30.040
We have not heard from my aunt since Friday because of Hurricane Helene.
00:02:39.000
And the government is currently trying to arrest people who are delivering supplies via helicopter.
00:02:46.980
They are threatening to arrest people who are trying to f***ing help people survive.
00:02:51.960
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live here from Washington,
00:03:01.500
J.D. Vance, who delivered a command performance last night there in New York City.
00:03:07.540
I was there in New York as well at Trump Hotel.
00:03:16.860
It was incredible to see him, see his work there up on that CBS stage.
00:03:23.280
He's about to just, we're told imminently, he's actually supposed to speak about 30 minutes
00:03:27.780
ago here in, over in Michigan, one of the swing states, one of the key states.
00:03:32.920
But, you know, just so we're going to take that as soon as we can as a programming note,
00:03:39.540
But just, you know, my recollections of the debate, you know, I think I put it out there.
00:03:43.340
What J.D. is doing is he is targeting those shy Trump voters.
00:03:52.320
He's going for someone who's thinking, you know, I want to vote for that Trump guy.
00:03:59.020
I remember how the country was when he was president.
00:04:02.440
It's just, you know, there's something about those tweets or really the, the, also the social
00:04:11.980
The left has inculcated people like Tim Walls, of course, have played into where, you know,
00:04:20.540
Those people are waiting for some kind of permission.
00:04:23.860
Well, J.D. Vance just gave them permission last night to say, look, this guy is going to
00:04:36.260
He gives you the ability to say, you know what?
00:04:40.520
I don't know if I was for Trump before, but now I am.
00:04:43.280
And folks, again, so because I had a lot of people comment to me and they said, why is
00:04:47.740
it the J.D. isn't, you know, the why isn't he blowing him up?
00:05:03.000
What J.D. was doing was targeted, strategic targeting of voters and voting groups that
00:05:09.980
we know can and will vote for Trump in places like, oh, by the way, suburban Philadelphia,
00:05:16.540
where those collar counties outside of Philadelphia, some of them have already begun voting.
00:05:21.080
I mentioned yesterday my mother has already voted.
00:05:23.760
By the way, Mom, I saw that you posted the picture.
00:05:39.080
Election day, you know, that is an outmoded way of thinking.
00:05:44.420
But there's something else that people are in right now.
00:05:46.200
And that's something that I wish that the debate had taken longer on CBS, of course,
00:05:52.620
But the real discussion is that the people of Appalachia, the people that J.D. Vance represents
00:05:59.080
in a way that we've never really seen before on the national stage, those people are hurting
00:06:06.160
And CBS turned it into some sort of argument about climate change when they want to sit there
00:06:13.840
and say, oh, well, the hurricanes have done this and the science and the PhDs and this and
00:06:21.520
And J.D. is trying, you know, to say, what about the people that we're trying to save?
00:06:28.800
What about the people that we're trying to help?
00:06:34.400
We're also going to talk to folks that are down there this week in Tennessee and North
00:06:39.720
Carolina, because these are the areas that have been completely decimated by this.
00:06:44.520
Some towns and you've seen the videos, I've seen the videos where they're just absolutely
00:06:49.860
Now, folks, I mentioned before that we are still waiting for J.D. Vance to come on.
00:06:54.000
So I'd like if I can to bring on now Human Events columnist Kenny Cody, who has been taking
00:07:01.360
He stepped away from his writing, his writing tasks and his writing duties because there's
00:07:06.760
a higher duty that's going on in his community right now.
00:07:15.740
And I've been doing work around our community, been doing work around our region to give back.
00:07:21.300
And because, I mean, I think we're going to rely on each other and rely on our community
00:07:24.680
and those that are willing to support us before we're able to rely on anybody else.
00:07:30.760
Well, Kenny, I've been I've been seeing your your tweets and seeing your your information
00:07:36.400
Tell people so you're I know you're East Tennessee.
00:07:39.520
But were you in a spot that was severely affected or are you just sort of near to those
00:07:46.900
I live in an area called Cot County, which is right on the North Carolina border.
00:07:50.440
We were right next to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
00:07:53.660
So we're we're right on the borderline of North Carolina and and Tennessee.
00:08:00.360
A lot of most of my community is still out of water.
00:08:05.000
We have to boil it for right now is in a lot of areas across our community.
00:08:08.160
I think most of our power has been restored, but we have we have schools.
00:08:13.260
We have charity organizations around the county.
00:08:16.140
And here in a few minutes, I'll probably give to people some leaks to go and donate or
00:08:21.200
There's the first one that is Cot County Mountain Strong.
00:08:23.620
So there's a QR code there at the bottom of the page that if people want to go down there
00:08:27.180
and donate, they're going to get donated directly to Cot County, which has been severely
00:08:31.020
We've been one of the most affected in the community because where we were next to the
00:08:33.580
Waterville Dam, the Nullchickie Dam from the floods over North Carolina that was spilling
00:08:40.000
So if you want to go there and donate, please, please do that.
00:08:43.120
There's a QR code there at the bottom of the page that goes directly to our Economic Development
00:08:48.600
There's actually a Cot County Relief Fund right there.
00:08:55.080
That's a charity organization that's that's giving back.
00:08:58.400
There's a Mountain Ways donation page that you're seeing there on the screen to help support
00:09:03.280
recovery efforts for through East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
00:09:06.360
It is kind of on the on the border of each other.
00:09:08.800
And then, of course, I think we got another link somewhere.
00:09:13.380
Glenn Jacobs, who is the Knox County mayor and and a former WWE wrestler, Kane, is hosting a
00:09:19.080
food, a food donation drive and a canned food drive in Knoxville on Saturday at the in Kingsport.
00:09:27.140
I'm sorry, at the Kingston Pike exit in Knoxville at Knoxville Wholesale Furniture.
00:09:31.560
That's going to be from four to eight on Saturday.
00:09:33.960
So we're hosting a lot of events here in our community trying to give back.
00:09:42.040
So we're on the border of so affected real, real quick for folks that aren't local and
00:09:51.280
I'm sure Kenny would love to have you out there for folks who aren't local.
00:09:59.000
What's the best way for folks who aren't local to be able to support these efforts?
00:10:02.820
I think those two that the Mountain Ways page, especially that's getting back directly to
00:10:07.880
East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, just go there and donate.
00:10:10.900
And I think Samaritan's Purse is another charity organization taking many donations across the
00:10:16.020
You know, I think there's a lot like I think Red Cross, Samaritan's Purse, multiple different
00:10:21.700
charity organizations set up in East Tennessee and in Western North Carolina, which are the
00:10:25.460
two worst affected areas because of the flooding.
00:10:27.640
The two donation pages that we've looked at are mainly localized.
00:10:31.820
But anybody from the country can actually donate to these pages.
00:10:34.580
And I think the Mountain Ways page is a lot more wide expanded through the through the
00:10:44.720
You know, just seeing a lot of people who are just struggling.
00:10:46.860
You know, I think that, you know, we've not lost a lot of lives.
00:10:49.940
I think we've only lost a couple of lives here in Cox County, but there's been a million
00:10:53.080
lives lost in North Carolina, many people still missing.
00:10:56.160
It's mostly just a lot of household loss, a lot of food.
00:11:05.960
Most households in Cox County and in Greene County and in Western North Carolina are still
00:11:11.800
So we've had incoming donations of bottled water for people to wash their clothes, for
00:11:15.900
people to take showers for actual clean water consumption.
00:11:19.640
I think the water has been turned back on in some areas solely for cleaning purposes, but
00:11:25.460
It's going to go through a filtration system for not to be contaminated for things like
00:11:30.900
So we're trying to tell people not to drink that water as of yet, even if it has been
00:11:34.760
restored just purely for cleaning purposes and, you know, for potable water, for purely
00:11:38.900
cleaning and flushing purposes for the basic human need of using the bathroom for taking
00:11:48.560
People have lost a lot of their household items.
00:11:51.320
You know, people's power boxes have been drained.
00:11:53.720
There's been water that has made their power basically go out completely.
00:12:00.860
Like I said, I don't think there's actually been a lot of lives lost except for a couple
00:12:05.820
But mainly what we're struggling with is water.
00:12:08.360
And mainly what we're struggling with is just people being able to cook, people being able
00:12:11.600
to take showers, people being able to use the bathroom, and a lot of our local churches
00:12:15.480
and charity organizations are helping people out.
00:12:17.420
But we need all the donations and all of the help that we can get here in our community
00:12:26.460
Was there, and I've gotten spotty reporting about this, so when this thing took its track,
00:12:32.960
you know, take us back a couple of days when Helene was coming up and they were, you know,
00:12:37.160
they were looking at that, I think it was the Alabama-Georgia line, that's what they were
00:12:40.360
talking about, and did you receive any evacuation orders?
00:12:48.040
Talk us through just in the days and hours leading up to this, did people really feel
00:12:55.820
So, you know, I've seen a lot of people get on the line, like how more states like Tennessee
00:13:01.800
So there was really a difference between the hurricane evacuations, like in Georgia and
00:13:06.500
Florida, and the flood evacuations in North Carolina and Tennessee.
00:13:09.860
We saw the after effects of evacuation in North Carolina and Tennessee days after the
00:13:15.980
So on Saturday and Friday especially, we saw evacuation efforts because we thought that
00:13:20.360
a lot of the dams were being compromised in North Carolina because of the onslaught of
00:13:25.920
So where we're on the border of North Carolina, we are directly connected to the Waterville
00:13:31.800
Dam in North Carolina, to the Nolchucky Dam here in Tennessee.
00:13:34.460
And when that onslaught of water happened, we did have evacuation notices here in Cott
00:13:40.340
County, especially in downtown Newport, which is our county seat.
00:13:43.720
And people had to literally evacuate their homes because of the fear of those dams collapsing
00:13:47.540
and actually an onslaught and overflow of water coming into our town.
00:13:51.860
And our downtown did get flooded to the point of where people had to evacuate.
00:13:56.240
So on Friday and Saturday, those were the two main concerns.
00:14:00.460
Mostly on Friday was the big evacuation notice here in Cott County.
00:14:06.020
And I think that that was the kind of difference because people were, I've seen, of course, the
00:14:09.520
Democrats, the leftists try to criticize Tennessee for not being ready.
00:14:12.740
But we really were ready because there was a difference between a hurricane evacuation and
00:14:19.020
And we had a state of emergency on Friday and going through Saturday for flood evacuation
00:14:26.400
We got the kind of the after effects from the hurricane.
00:14:28.600
And that's what caused a lot of the flooding, a lot of the damage in our area.
00:14:32.540
But is that, would you attribute that then to the fact that people were able to kind
00:14:38.480
And perhaps that's why so many lives were saved.
00:14:42.840
Yeah, the evacuation notices were 100% the right thing to do.
00:14:49.020
A lot of our state, when we put in a state of emergency, we got the message out, kind
00:14:53.000
of like an amber alert system through the Tennessee's emergency management.
00:14:57.340
We were able to get a lot of people out of their homes, even if they were damaged and
00:15:01.620
Now, that initial evacuation notice, it notices in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee
00:15:06.400
and counties like Cox, Severe, Hamblin, and Greene County, we were able to get out and
00:15:12.400
And now we're just kind of in the recovery effort to make sure people stay alive, make sure
00:15:16.020
that people have everything they need to survive over the next few weeks.
00:15:20.360
Now, how about the, you know, and this has been something that's going kind of viral.
00:15:24.720
And, you know, in situations like this, you always have sort of a fog of war aspect.
00:15:29.740
How would you say the response has been from the federal government?
00:15:34.800
Why aren't anyone, why doesn't it seem like any of the high level politicians have gone
00:15:38.820
in, the officials, other, but they're, they're firing back and saying, hey, we've delivered
00:15:47.500
I mean, I'm seeing a lot more support from our state government and from our local government
00:15:52.280
I mean, FEMA is here and I'm very thankful that FEMA has been as supportive as they have
00:15:56.360
been, but they've mainly done a lot of precautionary checks to make sure, like I said, the water's
00:16:03.260
But mainly what we're relying on is, as our state government, local officials, people
00:16:07.800
like Mayor Glenn Jacobs, like Jeremy Faison, Senator Blackburn, Senator Hagerty, Congresswoman
00:16:12.800
Diana Harshbarger, people like Robbie Starbuck and other local leaders are the ones that are
00:16:18.560
You know, Jeremy Faison is literally, and Robbie Starbuck are literally going around East
00:16:21.660
Tennessee, sending it, sending up Starlink Wi-Fi.
00:16:24.180
They're sending up internet capability because of all of our cell phone towers have been compromised
00:16:28.800
People don't have cell phone service to be able to communicate.
00:16:30.720
So I want to give a huge shout out to people like that.
00:16:33.980
People like Jeremy Faison, Glenn Jacobs, and others who have been directly giving back and
00:16:37.880
have boots on the ground in Cott County, have boots on the ground in East Tennessee that
00:16:48.080
I can't say that much about the federal government, even if the funding has been approved.
00:16:51.640
And hopefully there is more of a congressional aid package coming for East Tennessee, coming
00:16:56.700
for the affected flood areas in the Southeast United States.
00:17:00.540
But really the people that are helping us out the most are those local officials, those
00:17:04.260
state officials, and those local leaders and volunteer workers who have been on the
00:17:08.660
People at my community, Cosby High School, the Cott County school system, who literally
00:17:13.200
have donation centers at every school in this county and donation centers at every church
00:17:17.920
in this county, being able to give back to their community.
00:17:20.120
So it's relied mostly upon state government and local government leaders and our church
00:17:26.960
And I just want to throw it out there again, the East Tennessee Flooding Relief Food Drive
00:17:31.500
is going to be this Saturday, October 5th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
00:17:36.040
It's at the Knoxville Wholesale Furniture in Knoxville.
00:17:42.460
That's missionofhope.org to get more information.
00:17:46.120
Can we make that full screen so people can see that QR code?
00:17:48.420
You can just take a screenshot of that and that'll give you access to all of the information
00:17:56.440
And I'll post this as well, of course, for anybody who's there who can get it to Knoxville
00:18:04.100
And by the way, we are going to have Glenn Jacobs on.
00:18:08.120
He's a friend of the show and has been on many times.
00:18:10.840
And, you know, he said, look, he said, I'm just too busy today.
00:18:15.380
But he's going to, I believe we're going to, we're going to get him for a few minutes on
00:18:20.960
And it's just incredible seeing leaders like that step up, do what needs to be done.
00:18:25.280
I've seen, you know, Mark Robinson in, over in Western North Carolina, and he's going
00:18:30.440
around and doing what he can, you know, this really is a moment where people can show their
00:18:34.900
true nature and show what they're really all about.
00:18:37.360
And Kenny, it sounds like in your area there in Eastern Tennessee, really does sound like
00:18:41.480
the community is doing what it needs to do to help the people that got hit the worst
00:18:47.560
You know, like, like Mayor Mathis, Mayor Rob Mathis has done a great job.
00:18:54.000
And just really like a lot of the school administrators in our county, you know, almost every school is
00:18:58.200
a donation center, almost every church is a donation center, taking in clothes, cleaning
00:19:03.080
supplies, food, especially water, because of our water struggle here in the county right
00:19:09.820
I've never felt a sense of community like that I felt in the last few days.
00:19:14.560
And I've been so privileged and so honored to be from Cott County and be from Cosby, Tennessee
00:19:19.740
You know, people ask me all the time, why don't you leave?
00:19:23.140
Things like this are exactly why that I stay here, because I love my community and I love
00:19:29.720
I'm very appreciative for the unity that we've shown over the last few days.
00:19:32.720
It's been really, really heartstrong and really, really, really, really reflective of the great
00:19:38.860
Who are the people that are asking you to leave and where are they asking you to go?
00:19:44.760
Well, I mean, over the last few years, you know, like I stay here as a teacher.
00:19:48.800
I stay here as a community, I try to be at least a community servant here.
00:19:53.240
And people ask, you know, why don't you go walk in Washington, D.C.?
00:19:56.900
But, you know, seeing the community give back and seeing the unification that we've seen
00:20:00.980
over the last few days is exactly why that I stay here and want to give back to the community
00:20:07.640
I've been offered other opportunities at several different times in my life to go and
00:20:11.440
But things like the last few days really show why that I want to stay here in Cott County and
00:20:19.680
And seeing something like that, especially communities like Appalachia that I'm just going
00:20:23.980
to say it, you know, usually this is considered flyover country.
00:20:27.180
This is considered like the, you know, I've always kind of said that anytime they show the
00:20:33.200
Midwest and even Appalachia isn't exactly Midwest, but anytime they show the Midwest or
00:20:37.300
middle America in a movie, it's always like a horror movie, right?
00:20:40.880
So it's either like, it's either like Michael Myers in, uh, you know, the mid, I think that's
00:20:47.980
And then, you know, and then anything to do with Appalachia, it's always like the hills
00:20:54.120
Or, you know, the hillbillies are going to come and get you when your car breaks down.
00:21:04.480
Yes, well, just the community sense, and there's no, I mean, I've, I've been a lot
00:21:10.040
of people to do all over the country and cities and even, even areas like mine, and there's
00:21:14.300
still not a sense of community pride like there is here in rural Appalachia and here in
00:21:20.000
And like I said, I just couldn't be any prouder of the unification and the advocacy.
00:21:24.680
I mean, like Jack, we talk all the time, you know, we think that about, we think about
00:21:29.120
We think about the, you know, cities like Chicago.
00:21:31.000
We think cities like Detroit that struggle with poverty, that struggle with homelessness.
00:21:35.340
But it's kind of criticism to make fun of those people and, and, and, you know, that
00:21:41.780
But when it comes to rural Appalachia, you don't see the same sort of unification.
00:21:45.260
You don't see the same sort of sympathy and empathy for the people, for the people of
00:21:49.440
But over the last few days, I've been very thankful to see the unification across our
00:21:53.740
state, across our region, and for people like you and for people, for me members, for
00:21:58.700
the people who are the Republicans and the Democrats who actually care for Southeast
00:22:03.260
Tennessee, who care for Western North Carolina, giving back to the community is, it's been
00:22:07.280
really refreshing to see because, you know, like, like advance is written about in hillbilly
00:22:11.960
You know, a lot of times we're looked at as flyover country.
00:22:14.520
We're looked at as these dumb hillbillies, but we're not that we are a strong people.
00:22:21.440
And I've been, that's been no more reflective in its history than it has been the last few
00:22:25.400
days here in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
00:22:28.620
Well, and Kenny, I just have to say, you know, it, it, it seems to me is if this were
00:22:32.820
hitting a major metropolitan area, if these, if this was happening to a different group
00:22:37.420
of people, I think it would be all over the news.
00:22:42.220
I think the establishment would be going out there.
00:22:44.340
I think that you'd see presidents and vice presidents and all sorts of people flying
00:22:49.060
in and you'd have the celebrities who'd be doing telethons and all the stuff that you
00:22:53.640
saw in the aftermath of Katrina would be going on right now.
00:22:58.180
But because it's your part of the country, because it's a group of people, um, you know,
00:23:05.340
Because if you listen to any of the mainstream networks, poor white people aren't supposed
00:23:11.260
White people are the, uh, you know, the patriarchy and the, uh, the systemic racism, the oppressors
00:23:17.080
And it's like, well, Appalachia is kind of a, a bit of a, a bit of a pebble in the shoe
00:23:21.460
of, of that argument because that's, you know, plenty of struggles, which, and yes, obviously
00:23:27.360
JD Vance brought up many, many, many times, not just in his career, but certainly, um,
00:23:32.420
most poignantly last night of one on that stage that it's like, no, that's, you guys have
00:23:39.380
And what's really, it's, it's sick actually, to me, to think that our government would play
00:23:45.240
games with something like disaster raid, not based on who needs it most because they got
00:23:52.340
But two years ago, you have Kamala Harris up there saying that we need to distribute a
00:23:56.840
disaster relief based in terms of equity and equity.
00:24:00.520
How about you just go help the people that are stuck out there?
00:24:05.700
I mean, I could care less what, what gender you are, what sexuality you are, what race
00:24:11.780
If you come to Cosby High School, if you come to Cock County High School, if you come to
00:24:15.040
any of the churches around here, we're going to make sure that you have water to carry away,
00:24:19.600
that you have clothes, that you have food, that you have cleaning supplies to go back and
00:24:24.560
And I wish the federal government felt the same way that people in my community do.
00:24:27.380
We are, we are, we are attempting to give back.
00:24:29.140
We are attempting to help our community, no matter who needs it.
00:24:32.320
It doesn't matter who needs it or who lives here.
00:24:34.400
If you live in Cock County, Greene County, if you live in Eastern Tennessee or Western
00:24:37.760
North Carolina, you're going to get the aid that you need.
00:24:40.380
If you will come and ask us for help, we're going to give it back because that's the exact
00:24:45.080
And that's the exact, exact way that the people from my community do.
00:24:53.080
That's what people say and they're always looking for it.
00:24:54.780
Like when JD Vance says, I think the average person, not just rich people wanted to be
00:24:59.860
able to afford a nice meal for their family and live in a nice neighborhood and don't
00:25:05.160
want to be surrounded by people that don't speak the language, that don't have our values
00:25:09.840
that are from different parts of the world, you know, and you look at a town like Springfield
00:25:15.020
where they just import, you know, wholesale 20,000 people or across the country, 4% of the
00:25:27.160
These, these towns need, uh, they need assistance, sure.
00:25:30.680
And they need a government and establishment that isn't purposely trying to put them in
00:25:35.660
these situations rather than actually just letting them live their lives.
00:25:40.720
And again, you see, you know, are there problems with crime?
00:25:47.240
Like that's kind of the, I don't know, purpose of having a government, you know, um, you know,
00:25:54.560
It's so, it's just so ludicrous or, you know, and it, you know, Kenny, you've written a lot
00:25:59.340
about this as well, but you know, the idea that the, in DC, you have people that are so
00:26:05.140
focused on things that are happening thousands and thousands of miles away.
00:26:09.840
And look, that doesn't mean that we don't have a heart to care about people around the
00:26:14.420
world, but shouldn't we as a country and shouldn't we, as a matter of policy, make sure that our
00:26:22.720
And that's what America first is all about it because people came to me and they said,
00:26:26.120
he goes, what the base, what Iran strikes, what Ukraine was, no, I said, no, no, no.
00:26:30.240
I want to talk about the hurricane because these are Americans that are directly affected
00:26:36.600
I've, I've lived all over the world, I've been in the Navy, I've been all over the world,
00:26:39.200
but you know what, when it comes to a matter of policy, we should be focused on Americans
00:26:44.400
And Kenny, that's a big part of the movement and your writings have been a big part of
00:26:49.220
Well, a hundred percent, you know, I've, I've seen all those memes on Twitter, you know,
00:26:52.840
if Tennessee was called East Ukraine and North Carolina was called West Ukraine, I wonder
00:26:56.440
if we'd get more funding from the federal government than what we're currently getting, you know,
00:26:59.820
and I really hope that, you know, after seeing the community bond together and seeing people
00:27:05.780
like you, you know, conservatives unite for the region that a lot of them represent, I'm
00:27:11.600
really hoping that locally, you know, this, this example of, of local leadership, this
00:27:15.900
example of unity is an example to the rest of the country.
00:27:21.820
We have to be sure that our people are, and our citizens are taken care of before anybody
00:27:26.220
You know, you don't see any Ukraine donations or Ukraine packages being passed right now
00:27:31.440
because of how, how bad the optics would look because our people need our help right
00:27:37.420
The people who are the most vulnerable people who are literally stranded in rural areas
00:27:41.720
and stranded by the flooding are getting help right now, not necessarily from the federal
00:27:45.400
government, but they're getting help from their own community leaders and are on their
00:27:49.320
own state and government and government, local wide leaders and region wide leaders, just
00:27:56.300
And that's the way that I see Jack that I prefer a lot of the time because we know our people
00:28:00.220
and the federal government does what could not pick out caught County, Greene County
00:28:04.380
or anywhere else, probably on a map in terms of relief.
00:28:07.480
But you know, who does know our, our, our community is the leaders from here and the
00:28:12.420
So I'm, I'm, I'm very thankful that those like you are giving, are giving people like
00:28:16.620
me and others in our region of voice, people like Glenn James of voice, because we need
00:28:20.860
help like we never have before because our people are willing to give it.
00:28:25.920
Well, you know, it's amazing too, Kenny, because this is an area Appalachia is also
00:28:30.180
it's, and it's this interesting incongruity where Appalachia, this is an area that sends
00:28:36.140
so many people off to fight in these foreign wars.
00:28:39.760
And JD Vance made this point last night on stage as he himself suited up and joined the
00:28:50.060
I went and did this and I love my country and I went in and fought, but what is my country
00:28:57.360
What are we going to, you know, we've, we've all this money and these troops over here.
00:29:01.620
And now you look at all the military bases that are sitting there in North Carolina and
00:29:08.900
And people are saying, look, we've got some National Guard, but we'd love to see, you
00:29:17.020
My brother had a message coming out of people that are there on Fort Bragg.
00:29:20.960
And I'm sorry, folks, it's Fort Bragg and it's going to be Fort Bragg.
00:29:25.840
And I said this on the show yesterday that they're being told, oh no, we were not being
00:29:32.140
So, um, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief operations, they want us being spun
00:29:38.100
And I said, I said this on the show yesterday and I tweeted it and I got some pushback.
00:29:42.160
I said, you know what guys go walk over to the Blackhawks right now because you've got
00:29:47.160
people that are stuck up in the hill country and they're drowning as their roofs are caving
00:29:51.060
So walk over to the Blackhawks, just take off, literally just fly over.
00:29:55.780
And in a couple of months time, Donald Trump will give you a pardon because Kenny it's, it's
00:30:00.220
so, you know, incongruous to me to think that we have all of these assets that are sitting
00:30:05.160
right there from a military perspective that could help people.
00:30:08.400
And, and there's civilian aircraft going all over.
00:30:11.180
And Mark Robinson said that the civilian aircraft are far outnumbering what we're seeing from
00:30:16.760
I mean, that kind of makes sense to from one perspective, but the idea being that why is
00:30:20.620
it so much civilian, a civilian volunteer effort when you have all of this military material
00:30:31.200
Other people saying that some people even saying that the civilian aircraft, when they
00:30:35.120
try to go and embark in some of these missions or, you know, Hey, there's somebody on a roof
00:30:40.080
and I saw him on Facebook and I'm going to go try to save them.
00:30:42.820
And they're getting pushed back from local officials.
00:30:45.420
Now, obviously you want to deconflict, but at the same time, the question is, is, you know,
00:30:51.460
And I think I have to imagine that the current priority set of our government that's so focused
00:30:58.840
on what's going on overseas and so focused on what's going on with, with equity and DEI.
00:31:04.720
And it's just totally overlooked communities like yours has led to this situation.
00:31:09.400
Well, without a doubt, you know, it's just like when the reporter asked Biden the other
00:31:13.620
day, you know, what all are you doing for the hurricane healing relief victims?
00:31:16.880
And they said, well, we're giving them all we can.
00:31:19.040
And he, he was asked, well, are there any more resources that are going to get poured
00:31:24.960
Like, it's just a normal sort of disaster relief.
00:31:30.340
And I, and I have, you know, I'm a hundred percent that relief that needs to go to Georgia
00:31:35.180
But for the after effects of those in North Carolina and Tennessee, you know, the fact
00:31:40.440
that he's not giving me, Kenny, I'm being told that, uh, Kenny, I'm being told that JD
00:31:47.460
So JD, uh, the, the proudest son of Appalachia has just taken the stage there up in Michigan.
00:31:53.220
He's about to deliver his first remarks, so we're going to be going to him and thank
00:31:58.500
In the great state of Michigan, once again, it is great.
00:32:03.000
It is great to be at a, at an incredible manufacturing firm, visioneering, and it is great to be in
00:32:09.740
the state that I think is going to be pivotal to giving us 270 electoral votes and making
00:32:14.980
Donald Trump the next president of the United States.
00:32:23.220
Now it's hard to believe we've only got 33 days until the election.
00:32:28.500
Now that's a good news, bad news situation, because that means we've got a very limited
00:32:32.740
amount of time to make our case to the American people that Donald Trump ought to be reelected
00:32:38.540
But the good news is that means only 33 more days for Kamala Harris to gaslight and lie
00:32:46.160
Now we, we of course, had a debate last night, a vice presidential debate.
00:32:54.160
Now it's, it's funny because, you know, we did this debate and then I talked to the president
00:33:02.160
And we talked a little bit about, you know, what actually happened and, you know, some
00:33:18.160
of the points that I made, some of the points that Governor Walz made.
00:33:23.160
He said that Tim Walz said that he was friends with school shooters twice.
00:33:29.160
And that's something I actually didn't notice that Tim Walz had said that on the debate stage.
00:33:37.160
And he said, I'm telling you, man, go and watch the clips.
00:33:40.080
He said he was friends with school shooters twice.
00:33:42.160
And I said, that was probably only the third or fourth dumbest comment Tim Walz made that
00:33:46.500
night then because look, look, I gotta be honest, I feel a little bad for Governor Walz.
00:33:54.440
And the reason I feel bad for him is because he has to defend the indefensible.
00:34:03.520
And think about this for the past eight weeks, Kamala Harris, who never won a Democrat primary
00:34:09.060
vote has gone around the country saying that she is on day one going to tackle the affordability
00:34:16.000
crisis that's making it hard for you to afford groceries, housing, and everything else.
00:34:21.180
She says on day one, we're going to make energy prices lower for American consumers.
00:34:26.040
And on day one, she says, we're going to tackle the instability and conflict all over the world.
00:34:32.040
Well, Kamala Harris, day one was 1,400 days ago.
00:34:36.040
What the hell have you been doing that whole time?
00:34:37.940
Why don't you get to work instead of just talking about, instead of just talking about
00:34:45.940
what you're going to do, why don't you actually do it?
00:34:49.200
I'm running to be your next Vice President of the United States.
00:34:51.700
And I'm incredibly honored to stand here and ask you for your vote and ask you for your
00:34:57.080
But if we win, and I believe that we are going to win in 33 days, my friends, I feel very confident
00:35:09.780
But when we win, the American people will have given me an awesome responsibility to represent
00:35:16.720
them on the world's stage, to advocate for Donald Trump's policies, to work with Congress,
00:35:24.360
You know, I get sick of having a Vice President of the United States for three and a half years
00:35:30.440
pretend that she bears no responsibility for all of the policies that have made this country
00:35:39.440
And part of our responsibility, part of our job, my friends, over the next 33 days is to
00:35:44.680
remind Michiganders and everybody else that, yes, Kamala Harris is at fault for the Inflation
00:35:52.880
Yes, Kamala Harris is at fault for the explosion in federal spending that drove inflation through
00:36:01.200
Yes, Kamala Harris is responsible, as the borders are, for the wide-open border.
00:36:10.440
We're not going to entrust her to solve the very problems that she created.
00:36:13.840
We're going to entrust Donald Trump with the presidency of the United States.
00:36:21.880
Now, let's talk a little bit about manufacturing, because I know we've got a lot of employees
00:36:28.700
and a lot of family members who work with Visioneering, a great American aerospace company.
00:36:34.800
We believe, Donald Trump and I believe, that one of the biggest mistakes our leaders made
00:36:39.720
is that they decided over 40 years that we didn't need to make our own stuff anymore.
00:36:44.800
And this company stands as a proud and stark contrast to that, because right here in Visioneering,
00:36:52.620
you've got 350 American workers that are making great American products.
00:36:59.720
And we're going to build on that great track record.
00:37:04.800
You know, my Papaw was a union steel worker for almost 40 years.
00:37:13.900
And the steel mill that employed my Papaw had almost 10,000 jobs at one point.
00:37:20.840
And the steel mill, we're the lucky ones, because a lot of those great American steel producers,
00:37:31.300
They did it because other countries used literal slave labor to undercut the wages of American
00:37:41.020
And Donald Trump, if we stand for anything, we stand for an end to that practice.
00:37:52.320
And we're going to do it with American workers and build American prosperity in the process.
00:38:04.800
Now here's the thing, of course, Visioneering is a great aerospace company, but we've got
00:38:08.680
a lot of other proud industries in the state of Michigan and a lot of proud industries that
00:38:13.280
are not thriving thanks to Kamala Harris's policies.
00:38:16.720
Now, where did we go in this country where you've got Kamala Harris who wants to tax working
00:38:24.660
people so that rich people – she wants to subsidize rich people to buy electric vehicles
00:38:38.340
My Papaw, like I said, was a union steel worker, and he was a little gruff from time to time.
00:38:42.920
I love my Papaw, but you know what, he had a word for the kind of policies that Kamala
00:38:47.700
Harris is pursuing where we're going to tax American workers and then send their jobs
00:38:59.900
And it's not just American workers and Michigan workers in particular.
00:39:02.680
I mean, look, we've got the proudest auto industry in the entire world built right here
00:39:09.020
As a Buckeye, it's hard for me to admit that, my friends.
00:39:11.720
It is hard for me to admit how good Michigan workers are at making automobiles.
00:39:16.600
But why are we trying to tell Americans that they've got to drive electric vehicles made
00:39:22.800
Why don't we send this message, this is America, drive whatever the hell you want to, because
00:39:27.040
we believe in freedom and we believe in choice in the United States of America.
00:39:37.480
And look, if we pursue those policies that say, yeah, if you want to drive an electric
00:39:40.960
vehicle, by all means, drive an electric vehicle.
00:39:43.760
But if you want to drive a Michigan-built gas-powered car, that is your right, and we're going to
00:39:48.940
support your choice to do whatever you want to do, and we're going to build prosperity for
00:39:55.280
But thanks to Kamala Harris's policies, this is a person who loves to pretend that she
00:40:02.040
Well, nobody stood as strongly and as proudly for American workers than Donald J. Trump.
00:40:08.280
He did it for four years, and he's going to do it again.
00:40:16.880
So just in the last few years under Kamala Harris's leadership, I'm going to read this to make
00:40:22.840
Stellantis announced that it was going to lay off 2,500 Michigan auto workers who make the
00:40:30.600
What a disgrace that is, a great American automobile, and those jobs are going to get destroyed,
00:40:37.340
and either replaced with factory jobs in Mexico or completely eliminated altogether, because
00:40:43.020
Kamala Harris doesn't want to empower Americans to buy Michigan-made automobiles.
00:40:48.840
Last year, GM let go 1,300 Michigan workers at two separate facilities, and Ford is currently
00:40:56.880
rolling back a lot of its EV production because a lot of Americans don't want to buy EVs.
00:41:01.920
They want to buy the cars that they want to buy.
00:41:11.340
Because Kamala Harris has decided that she's going to pursue policies that make her donors,
00:41:16.900
her green scam donors, rich, and she's going to impoverish a generation of Michigan autoworkers.
00:41:23.160
I say, hell no, let's empower and enrich Michigan autoworkers with the leadership of Donald Trump.
00:41:35.520
Now look, this is not just about, you know, 2,500 jobs, my friends.
00:41:43.200
2,500 American families that have a family-supporting wage, and that disappears thanks to Kamala Harris's
00:41:51.880
That's 2,500 moms and dads that are going to have financial stress they didn't have before
00:41:59.440
That's 2,500 families that are going to be worried about putting food on the table or paying
00:42:04.980
heating bills because we all know it gets pretty cold up here in the middle of a Michigan winter.
00:42:09.860
That is 2,500 families made to suffer not because of an act of God, not because of something
00:42:16.220
that happened accidentally, but because our own leadership failed to do its job.
00:42:22.620
And if this election is about anything, it is about getting back to some common sense economic
00:42:27.940
principles that put American citizens, American workers, and American consumers first, and
00:42:36.040
Every single day, that's why we exist, is to serve you, not to destroy your jobs like
00:42:44.800
Now of course, remember the promise that was made, and Tim Walts made this argument last
00:42:50.360
And one of these things that really, really annoyed the hell out of me is he said, well,
00:42:55.040
look, you know, here's this economist who says that Donald Trump's plans are going to
00:43:01.040
Well, first of all, Tim, Donald Trump was already president for four years, we got rising take-home
00:43:05.440
pay and lower inflation, so I don't think those economists know what the hell they're
00:43:09.800
But even if you ignore the evidence of what Donald Trump did in office, look, what these
00:43:15.920
economists are saying is that if we ship our entire industrial base off to countries like
00:43:21.160
China, it's going to make American workers richer somehow, it's going to make our goods
00:43:27.520
Well, we've been living through the inflation of the last three and a half years, and we
00:43:31.760
know that when we make our country less self-reliant, when we pursue the policies that Kamala
00:43:37.200
Harris says that we ought to pursue, it makes Americans poorer, it drives up the cost of
00:43:41.860
food and of housing, it makes our country less prosperous, and it makes our nation more
00:43:47.440
dependent on people who don't like us to make the critical stuff that we need.
00:43:54.040
Stop listening to the economists and start listening to the common sense in this country.
00:43:58.200
But the thing about this, they said, here's the deal, Tim Walz has the audacity and Kamala
00:44:14.060
Harris has the audacity to say that, well, if Donald Trump's policies are enacted, that's
00:44:20.280
going to lead to higher prices for American consumers.
00:44:22.860
Tim, we already ran this experiment once, Donald Trump's economic policies worked for American
00:44:30.360
But here's the thing, think about this, if a Chinese company wants to hire a literal slave
00:44:36.580
laborer making $4 a day, and they want to import the goods made by that slave laborer, then
00:44:45.520
Because of course, we shouldn't expect American middle class workers to work for a slave wage
00:44:51.280
in China, we ought to expect our middle class workers to be able to support a family on
00:44:55.640
those wages, and that's what we're going to fight for every single day.
00:45:00.840
To prevent those companies and those countries from undercutting the wages of American workers,
00:45:09.660
Fight back against the theft of the American middle class, penalize those companies that
00:45:14.320
are shipping jobs overseas, and give a tax cut to American workers.
00:45:18.680
That's how you build prosperity for this country, and that's what we're going to fight for.
00:45:28.320
And let's just recap what Kamala Harris's policies have actually done.
00:45:32.960
The average Michigan family is spending over $1,000 per month to pay for what they could
00:45:41.600
That's $12,000 a year, a hidden tax of $12,000 a year, just to be able to buy what you could
00:45:52.240
Kamala Harris has presided over policies that has seen the cost of housing go up by over
00:46:00.660
She's seen policies that have seen the cost of eggs go up by more than double.
00:46:06.240
A gallon of milk is now about four bucks in the state of Michigan.
00:46:13.640
Kamala Harris's leadership has been tried, and it has been found wanting in Americans.
00:46:20.720
We want to be able to afford a nice living, a nice house for our families.
00:46:26.240
And to do that, we have got to elect the common sense leadership of Donald J. Trump.
00:46:31.420
And that's exactly what everybody in this room is going to do.
00:46:43.520
You know credit card delinquencies are about 9 percent right now.
00:46:48.180
That means a lot of American families are sacrificed, and they're not paying their credit
00:46:52.140
card debts so they can afford groceries or they can afford the mortgage.
00:46:57.540
And what a sad commentary it is on Kamala Harris's economic policies that you've got hard working
00:47:02.720
people who are doing everything that they can to provide for their families, and they're
00:47:08.860
Not because they're not doing their job, but because Kamala Harris isn't doing hers.
00:47:14.200
So we, and ma'am you're right, Kamala Harris doesn't care about this.
00:47:18.380
Because she doesn't understand, because she doesn't talk to anybody, she's afraid of interviews,
00:47:24.660
so she doesn't talk to people and she doesn't realize that her economic policies are making
00:47:31.520
And you all know my story, I talked about it a little bit last night.
00:47:35.120
But I was raised by a grandmother who sometimes would refuse to turn on the heating at night
00:47:43.680
I was raised by a woman who would sometimes forego paying for her own medicines so that
00:47:52.060
And I remember feeling, even though money was tight, that thanks to my grandmother, I never
00:47:58.100
But American grandparents and American parents shouldn't have to make those sacrifices to
00:48:03.900
If you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to afford a good life for your
00:48:09.340
And that's what Donald Trump and I are going to fight for every single day for the next four
00:48:22.380
We're going to, of course, take a few questions from the reporters, but I want to talk about
00:48:26.580
Because the American media, and especially Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh, they don't want
00:48:31.840
to talk about how this illegal immigration crisis is a theft of the American dream from American
00:48:41.620
We see this in big cities all over our country.
00:48:44.380
When you let in 25 million people, you know what that does?
00:48:49.580
So a lot of cities and towns can't afford to provide for their own citizens because they're
00:48:53.720
focused on providing for people who shouldn't be here.
00:48:56.780
You know, hospital wait times, because illegal aliens use hospital emergency rooms primarily.
00:49:02.200
So hospital wait times have gone up in the state of Michigan, they're close to three hours for
00:49:07.380
American citizens who want to go into the hospital and see a doctor.
00:49:15.200
You know, when you let in 25 million illegal aliens and they compete with Americans for
00:49:19.940
scarce homes, that drives up the cost of housing and that is a major cost of the housing crisis.
00:49:25.200
I had the debate moderator attempt to fact check me last night.
00:49:28.200
She said, what's your evidence that illegal immigration promotes and increases housing
00:49:37.920
When you let in millions of people who shouldn't be here, you've got to house them somewhere.
00:49:41.340
And those are houses that ought by right go to American citizens.
00:49:44.960
Donald Trump and I are going to fight for that every single day.
00:49:48.440
But there's also to talk about Tim Walsh's economist that he loves to cite.
00:50:01.960
Our own Federal Reserve has commissioned a study that shows that when you let in a lot
00:50:06.640
of illegal aliens, it jacks up the price of housing.
00:50:12.060
Kamala Harris wants to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
00:50:18.540
She wants to bankrupt Medicare by giving Medicare to illegal aliens.
00:50:25.440
She wants to bankrupt Social Security by giving Social Security to illegal aliens.
00:50:33.620
And here's the Donald Trump message to illegal aliens in this country.
00:50:37.620
In six months, pack your bags because you're going home.
00:50:44.320
And, you know, you heard this a little bit last night, you hear a lot of talk about compassion
00:50:51.940
when the issue of illegal immigration comes up.
00:50:54.280
Well, let's talk about compassion because I'm the father of three beautiful young kids.
00:50:58.620
I don't think that it's compassionate to empower the Mexican drug cartels to engage in
00:51:07.560
I don't believe that it's compassionate to flood American cities and towns with fentanyl
00:51:12.760
that is killing our citizens by the tens of thousands.
00:51:16.360
I don't believe that it is compassionate to allow our southern border to become a drug
00:51:21.560
trafficking and business zone for some of the most evil and terrible people in the world.
00:51:26.760
I know it's compassionate, closing that border down and putting the interests of American
00:51:36.140
You know, because these guys, they love to talk about threats to democracy.
00:51:43.760
Well, as Donald Trump will often remind you, he took a bullet for democracy.
00:51:47.800
So I don't think that any person can accuse the guy of doing anything other than fighting
00:51:53.700
every single day to make this country more prosperous and to make the world more peaceful.
00:51:59.400
But when the media talks about threats to democracy, you know what a threat to democracy is?
00:52:04.120
When you have Kamala Harris running for president despite not earning a single vote from Democratic
00:52:18.000
When big tech firms and major American companies and big government censors American citizens and
00:52:25.780
deprives them of their voice in the town square.
00:52:28.820
That's a way bigger threat to democracy than anything else going on.
00:52:32.540
And we're going to stop, we're going to stop it right away because look, I genuinely think
00:52:37.840
this is one very big difference between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
00:52:43.420
I look, I disagree, of course, with Kamala Harris.
00:52:48.060
I disagree with a lot of the folks who support him.
00:52:51.000
But I will, I would die fighting to defend their right to speak their mind even if I disagree
00:52:59.560
And I think every single person in this room believes that because we believe in free speech.
00:53:10.080
And as a person who was raised by a couple of working class blue collar Democrats, I want
00:53:15.280
to say to every Democrat who's watching at home, every Democrat who's in this room, you're
00:53:20.800
more than welcome in Donald Trump's Republican Party.
00:53:25.920
We got a big tent and you're welcome in our movement.
00:53:32.720
Because whether you agree or disagree with us about tax policy or regulatory policy, I
00:53:37.480
think a lot of Americans are saying they're sick of the censorship.
00:53:41.480
They're sick of being told what to think and what to say.
00:53:44.800
They're sick of being told that they're not allowed to be friends with people they disagree
00:53:49.920
And they're sick of tired of being told by their government to shut up.
00:53:54.120
Because we believe in the First Amendment in this country.
00:53:57.240
You have every right to petition your government and tell them they're screwing up.
00:54:01.800
And that's exactly what Kamala Harris is doing.
00:54:05.800
And that's why Bobby Kennedy endorsed Donald Trump.
00:54:13.400
That's why Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Donald Trump.
00:54:16.040
Because we believe in persuading our fellow Americans and not silencing them.
00:54:21.380
And that is a big difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
00:54:24.620
You hear these people talk, and Governor Walz mentioned this yesterday.
00:54:28.000
He talked about you can't shout fire in a crowded theater.
00:54:32.320
And you know what that from that line is from a disgraced Supreme Court opinion.
00:54:38.640
We believe that the solution to bad ideas is to debate them and persuade our fellow Americans.
00:54:45.320
Kamala Harris believes the solution to things she disagrees with is to silence you and to
00:54:54.320
And we will not stand for it and Donald Trump's political movement.
00:55:02.320
So I want to close before I take some questions from the media.
00:55:07.640
And I just want to remind you that we've got to look through Kamala Harris's lies.
00:55:11.820
She talks about all these great plans that she has.
00:55:14.820
And look, some of them she's straight up copied from Donald Trump.
00:55:17.560
So some of them I'm like, you know, Kamala Harris, that doesn't sound that bad.
00:55:20.320
You went on DonaldJTrump.com and copied and pasted it.
00:55:24.920
She's going to put on a red MAGA hat next thing you know.
00:55:28.760
But look, if you've got all these great ideas, Kamala Harris, I've got a message.
00:55:34.920
Because you're the sitting vice president and you haven't done a damn thing for American
00:55:48.300
The sitting vice president cannot say on day one, we're going to tackle the affordability
00:55:54.420
It was 1400 days ago and your policies caused the affordability crisis.
00:55:59.660
She can't say on day one, we're going to make the borders more secure because she's
00:56:03.720
been the border czar for years telling Americans that the border is secure.
00:56:08.700
She ought to do something about it now instead of lying and gaslighting the American people.
00:56:14.420
She talks about restoring American leadership to the world and bringing back peace and stability
00:56:29.260
And when she says that, I say, Kamala, I've got a really good idea for how we can bring
00:56:34.340
peace and stability back to the world, vote for Donald J. Trump and bring him back to
00:56:47.580
So to all of you, so to all of you who are here and all of you that are watching or will
00:56:53.480
see some of the clips of this later on, I just want to tell you that we have the greatest
00:57:00.620
We've got, we've got the, I mean, flying in here, trust me, as a Buckeye, it is hard
00:57:05.980
We've got the most, one of the most beautiful states in the entire United States of America,
00:57:10.540
especially this time of year, I love being in Michigan.
00:57:17.360
We've got the best natural resources, the best people, the best workers, the best history
00:57:25.360
And I know a lot of people feel like the American dream is out of reach.
00:57:28.640
I know a lot of people feel like it's gotten way too expensive to afford food and energy.
00:57:37.440
And I just want to tell you, please do not give up on this country.
00:57:41.920
Because as broken as the leadership of this nation is, it's going to change in 33 days,
00:57:50.920
So to every American out there, we're going to bring back the American dream.
00:58:01.920
We're going to bring back affordable groceries.
00:58:04.020
We're going to make housing and rent possible to afford for normal American citizens.
00:58:09.400
We are going to cut the border crap out and close down that border.
00:58:13.180
We're going to bring the American dream back, but only if Donald J. Trump is back in the White
