Going into the presidential debate tonight, Donald Trump is commanding a slight lead in
00:00:07.940
national polling against Kamala Harris, but a lot is at stake. My dad is here to give President
00:00:16.640
Trump a little bit of advice and to give you our analysis of where we are in the race. We are also
00:00:23.780
going to look at some policies of Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump, economic policies, immigration
00:00:30.380
policies that will have a real effect not only on your life, but on your children's lives. So we'll
00:00:37.040
get into all of that today. But before we start that conversation with my dad, I've got a fun
00:00:41.900

00:04:36.520
We've got some new merch and that is our Jesus wins merch. It's an election season y'all. And we
00:04:43.540
just want to remember who wins, who wins in the end. That doesn't mean it doesn't matter who wins the
00:04:50.040
election. Of course that matters a lot, but in the end, Jesus wins and these sweatshirts and these
00:04:54.800
hats are embroidered. And so really high quality. We've been working on these for several months now,
00:05:00.840
making sure that we have the right options. We've got hoodies, we've got crew necks, we've got a dad
00:05:04.760
hat, we've got a rope hat. I love them all. I'm super excited about this. Jesus wins. You can go to
00:05:09.640
allymerch.com. Check those out. All right. That's it for housekeeping and announcements. Now we are
00:05:16.120
going to get into the conversation about the debate and this election with my dad. I think
00:05:21.380
it's, I think he is y'all's favorite guest. Am I right? I always get comments and messages about
00:05:27.440
how comforting he is, but also how spot on his analysis is. So y'all are going to love this
00:05:32.180
conversation. This is brought to you by friends of good ranchers. Go to good ranchers.com
00:05:36.000
use code alley and check out this good ranchers.com code alley.
00:05:46.120
Dad, welcome back. Thank you. It's good to be back. It's been a while since I've
00:05:52.920
sat on the Stucky couch. Yes, I know. But that's not for lack of trying. My people have tried to
00:05:59.520
contact your people and you have been busy. Yeah, that's right. We have been busy. But you're here.
00:06:05.520
Okay. So Trump is debating tonight. And last time, I think it was the last time we talked in person
00:06:10.920
here. We both kind of said, I don't think that he should do that. I don't think he should debate
00:06:17.180
Kamala Harris. Do you still feel that way? Absolutely. This is just going to be another
00:06:22.500
way for the media starting tonight and going on for the next week or two to just prop her up.
00:06:29.780
She's not going to make any mistakes. She has been prepping for this debate, which means all she's
00:06:35.040
doing is memorizing answers. And so all they're going to do is prop her up. As we're reading
00:06:41.400
last night that ABC, of all the stories they put out about her, 100% positive. What they put out
00:06:49.760
about President Trump, 93% negative. So how do you think this is going to go? I mean, it just doesn't
00:06:55.620
make any sense. He's already debated the policies that she stood for. Why would he do that again?
00:07:02.160
It just, he needs to be in those swing states so that he controls the message. He's not going to
00:07:08.160
control the message tonight, no matter what he does. Yeah. That was according to a media research
00:07:12.500
center. They found that the coverage, like you said, of Harris was 100% positive. Now consider that
00:07:19.880
of all of the things, any politician, any politician has ever said, surely the sentinels of our democracy,
00:07:27.380
that's what they think of themselves as in the media would have something negative to say about
00:07:32.760
the person in power, but apparently not. Um, okay, but they are debating. All right. So he made
00:07:38.400
listen to it. So they're doing it. They made the decision to debate and just to play devil's advocate,
00:07:43.400
because when I said, I don't think he should debate her, there were a lot of people who said,
00:07:47.940
well, that's just going to look really bad. He's going to look cowardly. She's going to be able to
00:07:52.420
basically call him a chicken and you're scared of a girl. That kind of playground rhetoric may have
00:08:00.240
been effective if he had said no. What do you think about that? Do you think it would have looked
00:08:05.540
even worse if he would have seemed too scared to debate her? Well, I think the media would have
00:08:09.980
tried to do that, but I think he could, he could have an effect on the messaging. He, again, he could
00:08:14.400
say, I've already debated the policies of your policies changed. If they've changed, why don't you
00:08:19.180
send them to me? Come up with your new policies, Ms. Harris, and send them to me. And then I'll
00:08:23.440
think about debating you, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll invite you to one of my rallies and
00:08:27.540
we can, we can talk there if you want to. I'm happy to see if you can convince all the people that come
00:08:32.180
out and support me. Yeah. I think that their strategy is going to be on the Harris side to try to trigger
00:08:40.440
him. Actually, Hillary Clinton, who apparently is advising Kamala Harris. I don't know why they would get
00:08:45.920
the advice of Hillary Clinton. Obviously she lost, but is advising Kamala Harris on this. And she told
00:08:50.940
the media that she has advised her to try to get under his skin, to try to bait him, to try to see
00:08:58.640
if she can trigger him, which is the right strategy if you're looking from her perspective. And Trump
00:09:05.180
needs to seem, as he did in the last debate, which I think he did excellent against Joe Biden,
00:09:09.600
unperturbed, dignified, even compassionate, a little sorry feeling for her. He cannot come
00:09:18.920
across as a triggered bully. If people remember that fateful debate that he had against Joe Biden
00:09:24.460
in 2020, Joe Biden was already looking old. He was already looking doddering. And I think team Trump
00:09:32.260
hoped that that contrast back then would really help. And if Trump looked strong and overpowering,
00:09:39.220
that that would be beneficial to him, it did the opposite. We have the risk of that tonight.
00:09:45.820
She's 5'2 with shoes on. He is 6'4. If he looks like he is overpowering her and talking over her,
00:09:55.000
because I think the mics are going to be on the whole time. If he looks like a bully,
00:09:58.840
that will elicit sympathy for Kamala Harris. Sympathy is the last emotion that we want America
00:10:06.300
to feel for her. I don't think, Ali, unless they change it lately, that the mics are going to be
00:10:11.660
on the whole time. I think they're going to be muted. Has that changed?
00:10:14.380
Brie, can you fact check us on that? I know that there was a debate over that,
00:10:17.920
that Kamala Harris wanted them on the whole time. I know, but I don't think they ever agreed to it.
00:10:25.020
No. Well, I don't know. We might cut it. We might not cut it. Who knows?
00:10:29.180
Either way, whether the mics are on or not, he needs to seem completely unbothered by her
00:10:35.840
and totally focused on talking to the American people. Do not let, because she'll be like a
00:10:41.860
mosquito just baiting him. And he cannot let her do that.
00:10:46.680
And that's what you and I said the first time on why he shouldn't debate her, because it's all
00:10:51.500
going to be about her baiting him. And even if the mics are off, okay, when they come back on,
00:10:58.560
he needs to resist the urge to lash back out at her personally. And you can bet when they do the
00:11:06.840
side-by-side, they're going to make him look like a giant. I mean, that's just what's going to happen.
00:11:12.880
And she is going to be stoic. She will handle that well. She knows how to do that. She's an actor.
00:11:19.680
She's been an actor in a sense, you know, in the courtroom and other places. So I think it's a high
00:11:26.800
risk. Now, if she flubs it, which I don't think she will, because they've already set really low
00:11:32.440
expectations for her, then maybe it was an advantage. But I don't see it as an advantage.
00:11:37.800
I don't think that she will now, because she's going to have, as you said, very prepared remarks.
00:11:42.780
She's not good off the cuff. Extemporaneously, she is, I think, rather bumbling and embarrassing.
00:11:49.400
And if Trump can somehow trigger her into that, to talking in circles, trying to
00:11:55.320
give an account for how she flip-flopped on things like fracking and illegal immigration,
00:12:00.840
then that would be good. But the moderators aren't going to do it. The thing with this is that for
00:12:04.780
Trump, and again, the reason why we said don't do it, is because it's going to be the moderators
00:12:09.280
and Kamala Harris against Donald Trump. He is going to be, I think, the only one who is made to give
00:12:15.820
specific answers. But which week do you want to ban abortion? Would you sign this legislation?
00:12:22.440
What about X, Y, Z? And he has to pivot. He should not be baited by, at what week do you want to ban
00:12:32.400
abortion? You got to pivot. Yeah, no question about that. As we've talked about many times,
00:12:37.380
the first rule in politics is you do never have to answer the question that someone asks you.
00:12:42.220
Yeah. You take your points. And again, I think he should say,
00:12:46.440
you know, Madam Moderator, I'll answer your question. But first, however,
00:12:51.780
you know, this really goes back to the flip-flop that she's done on this issue or that issue or
00:12:56.780
whatever, right? Something like that. That's what I would do, because that might be able to get her
00:13:01.180
goad as well. Okay. So Bree says that they are not, they are going to keep the mics muted
00:13:09.520
in between. And Kamala Harris's campaign was saying for a while, we're not going to do this
00:13:15.820
unless the mics are unmuted, because she knows how Trump kind of talks back. And she knew that
00:13:20.180
that would make her look better. They are going to do it. Kamala is now saying, though, that she
00:13:24.120
is fundamentally disadvantaged by the current format. Bree, is that right? So I don't know.
00:13:29.620
Although that's exactly what the Harris-Biden administration asked for in the first debate.
00:13:33.680
It was them that pushed the muted mics in the first debate that Biden and Trump had.
00:13:39.480
Yeah. And now they're saying, well, we're going to change that, right?
00:13:42.120
It does help. That does help Trump to mute the mic. So thank the Lord for muted mics.
00:13:47.460
Absolutely. Okay. There are some mumblings of this,
00:13:51.200
that Kamala Harris is going to say tonight to try to elicit sympathy and to try to
00:13:57.600
put Trump off, that she herself had an abortion and that she is going to tell this heart-rending
00:14:05.800
story about how she had to choose abortion. And she's so glad that she had that option.
00:14:13.680
I think Donald Trump, if she does that, should basically ignore that or at the very most say
00:14:22.060
something along the lines of, you know, your life matters, but your baby's life mattered too.
00:14:28.840
I want to make a country in which every mom and baby and dad are safe and prosperous. I think that's
00:14:36.580
all he should do. He shouldn't go on and on about it. What is your thought?
00:14:40.580
Well, my first thought, is it Willie Brown's? Was it Willie Brown's? Whose baby was it? If that's
00:14:46.120
what she said. Please, Donald Trump, don't say that. Don't say that on the debate stage.
00:14:50.900
Don't say that, but I mean, that's my first thought. I think he should either ignore it,
00:14:55.000
like you said, or just say, that's a very sad scenario that, uh, you know, we had a baby die.
00:15:05.780
Yeah. I think that that's, but then you pivot, you pivot, you don't, because the media is going
00:15:11.660
to try to paint her as a hero for being so honest and so real about that. And that's going to be
00:15:18.760
relatable to one set of people, but to a whole other set of people, that's going to be like,
00:15:25.080
really? You sacrificed your baby for your whatever. Right. Um, and so he just needs to
00:15:30.620
be smart about that. Any other advice? I think she takes, I think she takes a risk in saying that
00:15:34.620
herself though, because what's the reason behind it? Yeah. What, what, what, what's, what's your
00:15:39.900
reason for doing that? Just because it would help your career. I don't think that'll gain as much
00:15:43.940
sympathy as she thinks it would. Right. And I, I, that's why I'm not sure that she,
00:15:49.460
that she will end up saying that. I think that the other advice I would give him is his last two
00:15:53.520
minutes. He speaks last. Okay. For the closings, which I, which I read this morning. And so for that,
00:15:59.580
I would just focus on those policy things. I would never mention her name. All right. I would only
00:16:07.780
focus on inflation and immigration, inflation and immigration. The polling shows that he way out
00:16:16.400
performs in those areas. Yeah. Well, she's flip-flopped so much. She has said over and over
00:16:22.640
again, we played a whole montage last week of her saying crossing the border illegally. Is it in itself
00:16:29.480
a crime? Yes, it is. Yeah. And she doesn't believe it should be a crime. So just think about the massive
00:16:34.640
implications and the cascading effect of something like that.
00:16:42.160
All right. Quick pause to tell you guys about our first sponsor for the day. It's Adele Natural
00:16:46.400
Cosmetics. Every morning and every night I am using skincare from Adele Natural Cosmetics. I love that
00:16:52.880
they are all natural, holistic ingredients right from nature. I don't have to worry about any fake
00:16:59.720
toxic ingredients, the parabens, the fragrances, the endocrine disruptors that you find in so much
00:17:06.140
skincare and in so many makeup products nowadays. Arlene started Adele Natural Cosmetics because of
00:17:12.200
her own health journey. She really had to start paying attention to not just what she was putting
00:17:16.500
in her body, but also on her body just to make sure she was as healthy as possible. And that's when
00:17:22.120
she began Adele Natural Cosmetics and they make super effective, all natural products. They are a
00:17:28.480
family owned company. They're a Christian family, completely unapologetic about their faith and
00:17:33.880
their pro-life values. I love Adele Natural Cosmetics. Go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com. Use code

00:17:48.800
All right. Let's talk about the polls a little bit. Trump is doing better. Trump is doing better than he
00:17:54.620
had previously. A New York Times Sienna poll made headlines this weekend showing that Trump is
00:18:00.160
pulling ahead of Vice President Harris by one point, which is kind of remarkable considering how much
00:18:06.940
the media is against him. Yeah. And they over-poll Democrats in that particular poll based on what
00:18:12.100
I've read. The percentages generally should be pretty split if you're just looking at Republican or
00:18:20.000
Democrat. If you throw independents in there, it changes a little bit. But what is really interesting
00:18:24.780
and Nate Silver, which a lot of people probably heard of, he's a pollster that had the website 538
00:18:32.420
and they look at a conglomeration of things. Real statistical guy. I read an article from him the
00:18:39.080
other day that said that Kamala Harris in the national polling, which usually I don't pay much attention to
00:18:45.320
because it's really going to come down to individual state elections. People should really
00:18:50.220
understand that. This is about electing your state, electing the president through your votes. It's not
00:18:57.200
about us as a massive number. But because of the number of people that live in New York and in
00:19:04.300
California, the Democratic candidate, in this case Harris, needs to be ahead in national polling by more
00:19:14.040
than three points to have a chance to win because of the way the electoral college works. They can run
00:19:21.320
the score up in California, but if they win California by 2 million votes or 1 million votes,
00:19:27.660
they still only get 55 delegates. It doesn't really matter. And that's why Hillary Clinton lost
00:19:34.940
is because she didn't have that. She won a bunch of the national numbers, but she didn't win enough
00:19:43.860
to really make up for the difference. So this is good numbers for President Trump. I am still though
00:19:51.520
concerned a little bit about his performance in some of the swing states. Yeah. Right now we've got
00:19:56.800
some numbers from real clear polling on that. Arizona, he's up by 1.6. And gosh, Harris is up in
00:20:05.400
every other swing state. Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania is a tie. North Carolina,
00:20:11.740
Trump up 0.1. And Georgia, Trump 0.3. And Nevada, for example, Harris is only up by 0.6, but Wisconsin
00:20:20.440
1.5, Michigan 1.2. And what's your take on those numbers? Well, I would say that I would say Michigan
00:20:27.500
has got to be a concern for Harris. She wants it to be way more than that. Oh, no question about it
00:20:34.380
because she won by, I mean, Biden won by more than that in Michigan anyway in 2020, I believe. And so
00:20:42.080
that's a concern for her because if she really, if she loses one of those states, I don't think she
00:20:47.940
has a path because I do think he's going to win Arizona. I do think he's going to win Georgia. Okay.
00:20:52.920
Biden won Georgia last time. I know that. I know that. But I do think he's going to win Georgia.
00:20:57.820
I think that the Republican Party has been awakened there to get moving. I hope anyway,
00:21:05.500
we have a lot of friends in Georgia. I know. How much do you think this has to do with it being so
00:21:10.800
close in Georgia, which it's just crazy that this is even considered a swing state now? How much do
00:21:16.140
you think that has to do with Trump's adversarial relationship with Brian Kemp, who was a pretty
00:21:21.260
popular governor among Republicans in Georgia? I think that was a negative for him. No question
00:21:25.860
about it. Now, supposedly they have, you know, they've come back together and we'll see if that's
00:21:31.520
great. I have a very good friend that is very, very active in Georgia politics and has run their
00:21:39.580
Republican committee over there and what have you. He assures me that they're going to win Georgia and
00:21:46.280
he's usually right on this type of stuff. So yeah, see how all that goes. Also think he'll win
00:21:50.960
North Carolina. I don't think North Carolina has changed very much since 2020. And remember Trump
00:21:55.660
won North Carolina in 2020 when Biden was winning everything else. So. Right. Right. Which is
00:22:01.580
interesting. I mean, when you consider just the absolute campaign that the media has been forging
00:22:10.440
for Kamala Harris, where they won't even say, for example, that media research center study that we
00:22:18.160
referenced earlier saying ABC is 100 percent positive coverage. One of the other things that
00:22:22.720
they found is that they never refer to her as liberal. And, you know, I've noticed in all of
00:22:28.500
Kamala Harris's ads that she seems to really be appealing to really like white, rust belt, moderate
00:22:37.620
Americans, which is really interesting. I think that's also why she picked Tim Walls, which now that I see
00:22:43.560
the whole picture from her perspective, I do think that that was the right pick, a smart pick for her.
00:22:50.120
And so it's interesting. I really think that she is appealing hard to the white, Christian, moderate,
00:22:59.480
even right leaning voter who is tired of Donald Trump. And the media is helping her by not saying
00:23:06.640
that she was literally the furthest left senator when she was in the Senate, even next to Bernie Sanders,
00:23:11.920
not talking about her stance on immigration and abortion, but really fundamentally trying to
00:23:19.080
gaslight everyone into believing that she's like a center candidate when she's not at all.
00:23:24.480
Oh, no, she's not. And I think the reason that you could pick somebody like a Tim Walls,
00:23:31.120
you have to understand that fundamentally, and this is a generalization, so it's not every specific one,
00:23:38.360
but fundamentally people like her and people like Tim Walls, see, they know they're not going to be
00:23:45.360
held accountable by the majority of the media. So lying and not telling the whole truth is not an
00:23:52.020
issue for them. She knew that even though he was super liberal, he looks like a dad, right? He looks
00:23:58.940
like a dad. He looks like a little league coach or football coach, whatever he was. And he talks like
00:24:03.860
that, right? Now, it's all a scam, okay? It's all a scam because you should look at his actions. But
00:24:10.160
see, we don't focus on people's actions. We focus on how they make us feel, which is totally,
00:24:17.440
totally wrong, which is exactly what happened under Hitler, right? Is that people didn't look at what
00:24:24.900
he was, what they, what the Nazi party was doing from 1928 or 29, whenever he came into power
00:24:32.060
to when war broke out. And all of these things were happening right under their nose, but he made
00:24:37.720
them feel good because they had been abused in World War I after the Treaty of Versailles. They
00:24:43.120
had a lot of restrictions put on them. And so they were looking for national pride. And when he was out
00:24:48.740
in the public, that's what he was saying. And nobody was looking behind the curtain, right? Almost like
00:24:53.520
the Wizard of Oz type thing. And that's what's happening here.
00:24:56.880
To be fair, I do think voters in a lot of different kinds of countries on both sides of the aisle
00:25:01.880
do vote based on how a candidate makes them feel and not only on the policies. We shouldn't do that.
00:25:10.100
But even going back to Nixon v. Kennedy in the first televised debate, I think the fact that Kennedy
00:25:16.280
was attractive and Nixon looked like he was sick, it really helped Kennedy. It's just, it's PR,
00:25:23.140
it's marketing, it's advertising. And I actually do think Trump could be a very likable, feel good
00:25:29.800
candidate. But of course, the media makes it very difficult when all they portray Trump as is angry
00:25:37.160
and vengeful. And so he can't get out of his own way sometimes. But you know, like I was, I was
00:25:44.000
thinking, this is kind of terrible to say, but really Republicans should have a better PR and marketing
00:25:50.440
campaign and reputation than they do. I had a horrible interaction with this older lady on an
00:25:57.540
airplane the other day. She was, she was so grumpy and our baby was doing nothing wrong. And yet when
00:26:06.980
my husband was walking our baby, just like down the aisle, holding her of the plane, this lady lashed
00:26:12.500
out at him and said, get it away from me, get it away from me. It was a horrible experience. And it
00:26:17.780
was so weird. But I was thinking, I was like, I know exactly who she's voting for. I know exactly
00:26:23.980
who she's voting for. And everyone else knows who she's voting for. And really, that's like the
00:26:29.880
reputation of a lot of people who vote Democrat is angry, bitter people. And whenever I'm traveling to
00:26:39.560
like Southern states, and I've got these older, like sweet Southern grandparents on the plane,
00:26:45.520
they're always so sweet to us and so kind. I'm like, wait, why don't we have a better portrayal
00:26:51.680
of Republicans in the media when it's so obvious, at least to me, that Republicans should be the party
00:26:58.920
of the child loving, family loving, nurturing, polite, kind, hospitable, generous people.
00:27:07.000
And I even think that the numbers show that, that Republicans are more likely to give to charity
00:27:12.000
than Democrats are. We're the ones that are running the pro-life pregnancy centers. We're so often the
00:27:17.880
ones running even the church-led organizations to help the vulnerable people. Whereas many times
00:27:24.560
Democrats just want to outsource that compassion to the government. Like we really need a better PR
00:27:30.140
campaign on the Republican side to show that contrast.
00:27:34.040
Yeah. I think part of that alley is that the Republican party has been run by business people
00:27:38.800
for a long time that have been focused almost singularly on the economy, which is super important,
00:27:45.700
no question about it. And we haven't been focusing on our messaging to the everyday American. That's
00:27:51.600
why Donald Trump won in 2016, because he did figure that out. And we haven't done a very good job of that
00:27:59.340
because you're exactly right. We, we take the Republican party takes those people like you're
00:28:04.560
talking about for granted that they're going to vote. So why do I need to appeal to them? They
00:28:08.340
don't, they haven't thought very good about their whole messaging idea. And even president Trump is,
00:28:14.300
uh, has, uh, has advisors like Joe Lasavita, who is just, he is just harsh and crazy.
00:28:21.120
Chris Lasavita. Chris Lasavita, what his name is, whatever his name is. Anyway, he's just a harsh
00:28:25.540
person. And that's, who's kind of been around and, uh, you know, done things like the critic,
00:28:31.540
the criticism of project 2025 is just asinine. You know, when this center for American progress,
00:28:39.300
which is another think tank, but a far left think tank, if it's so tied into the Harris campaign,
00:28:45.500
it's all Obama people. Now who's talking about that? Who's talking about what they're recommending
00:28:50.740
versus what heritage is recommending, right? Which is actually far more radical because
00:28:55.820
whether you agree with every tenant of project 2025, most of it is pretty, it's just mainstream
00:29:02.680
conservative stuff that's been around for decades. I think there's a website that says
00:29:06.300
2025 truth.com or something like that, that kind of, you know, debunks all of those complaints and
00:29:12.800
what have you. But yeah, Trump needs to stop bringing that up. It's an unforced error, honestly.
00:29:17.360
Oh, there's no question about it. Cause the people in his audience, I promise you if they read that,
00:29:20.540
they're going to agree with 90% of it. Yeah. And who is he even appealing to? Who is he going to
00:29:25.100
trying to appeal to? That's right. Yeah. But you know, that's Donald Trump. He's always kind of
00:29:28.160
struggled with that. He secretly wants the New York times and all of those people to really like him.
00:29:32.300
There's no question about it. Yeah. Okay. So going into tonight, he does have, it seems like
00:29:39.600
more of an advantage than he had a month ago. Like the honeymoon period, I do think for the Harris
00:29:44.480
Walls campaign, I do think it has expired and that Trump is really in a position to, for lack of a
00:29:51.520
better term, have a vibe shift and feelings do matter. We don't want them to matter. We want
00:29:56.660
people to vote on policy. But the fact of the matter is some people do vote based on feelings.
00:30:01.260
So the Trump campaign does need to think, how do we change the feelings of the voters who do vote
00:30:08.540
One thing that Kamala Harris can't say, that Trump can say to kind of create this like likable and
00:30:17.540
relatable persona. He can always pivot back to as a father and grandfather.
00:30:22.400
Oh, no question. That's exactly what I was thinking.
00:30:24.180
As a father and grandfather. She can't say that, you know? And so I think that that's a really
00:30:29.340
personal touch that he can add. And it's not fake. His kids and green kids love him. That's
00:30:37.000
Right. No, I, yeah. But you also have to know too, that there is a chance for him to change and
00:30:43.880
it's better for him to create a vibe. We also have to remember that the media is going to double
00:30:49.980
down between now and the election. And this poll scared the media more than did anybody probably
00:30:55.960
because they're going to double down on this. And they can't abandon Harris. They have nowhere else
00:31:02.500
to go. See, they could abandon Biden, but they can't abandon Harris. They have nowhere else to go.
00:31:08.860
And so it is going to be a really interesting several weeks. I can promise you that.
00:31:18.480
Y'all, I love Range Leather. Their products are top notch. They last forever. They have a lifetime
00:31:26.140
guarantee. They're handmade in Laramie, Wyoming. This is another family owned company. They are
00:31:32.500
Christians and they started this company because they wanted to make high quality leather products
00:31:37.880
that you can buy and keep forever. Or you can give as a really awesome gift that will last a lifetime.
00:31:45.680
They are passionate about their products and they put that passion into every single thing that they
00:31:52.700
make, whether it's belts or wallets or hats. They make these amazing custom hats they have for
00:31:58.780
relatable that I love. And I love their jewelry and their purses. I have several things from range
00:32:05.080
leather that I use all the time because they're so cute and also just really high quality. If you go
00:32:11.380
to range leather.com slash Allie, you'll save 15% off any product. That's range leather.com slash Allie.
00:32:22.540
Okay. Let's talk about this ACLU questionnaire because as we've talked about, Kamala Harris is trying
00:32:31.240
to present herself as independent and you know, that's what Biden did too. They want those people
00:32:38.200
in the swing states. And so that's her strategy. So here's the summary of this. This is reported by
00:32:43.820
CNN as Kamala Harris attempts to pivot to the political center in her presidential campaign. CNN
00:32:48.280
recently reported on a 2019 questionnaire from the ACLU, which spots spotlights her support for radical
00:32:55.000
left-wing causes such as taxpayer funded gender. Okay. This is like, this is such a weird dystopian
00:33:01.540
sentence. This is what Kamala Harris supports according to CNN. Okay. And the ACLU taxpayer funded
00:33:09.740
gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and drastically reducing ice operations and funding.
00:33:20.900
So this was a questionnaire that she filled out when she was running for president back in 2019.
00:33:26.720
That's what she says that she supports. And of course, she doesn't believe that crossing the border
00:33:32.020
illegally is even a crime. She wouldn't detain or deport those people. So what's your take on that?
00:33:37.300
Well, the words are the words, right? And they're her words. So you have to believe that those are true.
00:33:43.800
Actually, think about this. When I remember talking to some people before the 2020 election
00:33:50.100
and where people said, well, you know, Joe Biden is really kind of a middle of the road guy. He's not
00:33:58.280
too far left or he's middle of the road guy. And how has he governed? Way, way to the left, correct?
00:34:06.960
That's been his policy. Now, Kamala or Kamala, I don't even know, Ms. Harris, she starts out
00:34:15.360
way over here. Everybody, I think, all the data shows that she starts out further left than
00:34:22.660
President Biden did, right? So which way, you think she's going to move to the right or to the left?
00:34:28.760
No, she's going to, those policies that she talked about there are the ones that her values,
00:34:33.420
when she talks about her values, not changing. It's true. Her values are, I want an open border.
00:34:38.840
I want government control of everything, including healthcare. And I want government control of your
00:34:43.560
children. And no parents should be involved. You really, it's really not your money. Remember
00:34:49.560
Obama said, you know, Joe, you didn't build that business. We built it. And she is left of all of
00:34:55.460
that. And so I don't understand how people, including some in our extended family, can look at that
00:35:02.920
and say, Hey, this is what's best for my grandkids. Yeah. I don't understand. I don't understand that
00:35:09.160
either. And you know, when we look at immigration, we talked about this last week when she was
00:35:14.960
district attorney of San Francisco, when she was attorney general of California, she pushed some of
00:35:21.600
the policies that led to the death, the murders of people like Kate Steinle. And of course, I mean,
00:35:28.700
she was border czar when poor Lake and Riley in Athens, Georgia was brutally murdered while she
00:35:34.320
was on a run on a Sunday morning by an illegal Venezuelan alien that was only here because our
00:35:41.400
border is open. And Kamala Harris oversaw that. And she wants people to believe now that she has the
00:35:47.840
best interest of America at heart. And this whole border situation with the border bill that said
00:35:54.040
5,000 people could come over, you know, a day and average. Well, people didn't realize. And after,
00:36:02.120
if it got above that, then we're going to shut it down. Well, that's 2 million people, right?
00:36:06.260
That's automatically saying 2 million people each year can come over. Okay. And you're talking about
00:36:11.660
the legislation that Congress wrote up that it didn't end up passing, right? Because it didn't
00:36:17.200
get, it didn't go through the Senate, but people said, but that's a talking point by Democrats to
00:36:21.780
say, well, we've come up with a comprehensive border security bill that Republicans didn't want.
00:36:26.320
And you're saying, yeah, that's why. That's a lie. It wasn't comprehensive. It was only more open
00:36:31.520
borders is all it was. And, um, it was throwing money at a problem, which Congress is noted to do.
00:36:38.400
Yeah. Especially Democrats. And, uh, and it didn't have anything to do with securing the border
00:36:42.620
first. So that's just, uh, that's a lie. And she, she is, as she's proven, she, you know,
00:36:48.400
she hadn't been to Europe and she hadn't been to the border. Yeah. So here's what she said. I mean,
00:36:53.140
just so radical on abortion, gender immigration, while she was Senator, while she was attorney
00:36:58.300
general of California, like her track record is so frightening. So this is according to that ACLU
00:37:05.800
survey. Harris was asked if as president, she would use executive authority to ensure that
00:37:11.080
transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care, including those in prison
00:37:15.940
and including, including those in immigration detention will have access to comprehensive
00:37:20.380
treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care. She answered,
00:37:26.280
yes. That's why as attorney general, I pushed the California department of corrections and
00:37:30.760
rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery. Okay. So we are talking about men who
00:37:37.440
decide, you know what, the women's prison over there, that's a lot cushier. I could maybe not
00:37:41.680
have to deal with this violence over here. And this is not a hyperbolic example. This actually happens.
00:37:46.680
They can go through chemical castration. They can get on hormones, be transferred to the women's
00:37:51.500
prison, which already happens in California, Washington, all of these liberal States. And even if
00:37:57.620
they don't get any kind of surgery, so they are fully intact males, they can be housed with a
00:38:02.840
vulnerable woman. There are women in women's prison in these liberal States who have been raped and
00:38:08.700
impregnated by these men who say that they're women. That's what Kamala Harris stands for. And she says,
00:38:13.640
not only does she stand for that, but I want your tax dollars, your hard earned money to pay for men to
00:38:19.840
be placed in women's prisons and to assault the most vulnerable women in our population in prison.
00:38:25.140
That's what Kamala Harris, the moderate stands for.
00:38:28.240
It is just irrational to even think someone could say that this is okay. And therefore I support that.
00:38:35.660
But that's what, that's what, that's what they've done in California. That's where she's from. That's
00:38:39.740
what she supports. And again, it always, it goes down, not just to the prisons, down to the children.
00:38:45.040
You know, she supports not having parents notified, uh, by the teachers. If the, if the,
00:38:51.800
if the child, you know, says they're confused. Yep. And that can lead to, uh, that can lead to a
00:38:59.180
parent losing custody of their child, which has happened multiple times. We've had those parents
00:39:03.360
on this podcast. I mean, you can bet your bottom dollar Kamala Harris is going to weaponize the
00:39:08.240
DOJ to accomplish everything that she wants to accomplish on that question about that. That's,
00:39:12.960
that's for sure going to happen. Not even that that's even before we get to the economy,
00:39:17.940
right. And inflation and all those types of things that it's just, it's just been crazy
00:39:22.540
under her watch. Okay. Y'all let me tell you about covenant eyes. Did you know that there is
00:39:32.660
an epidemic happening right now, spreading right now among young women, even young women in the
00:39:39.500
church. And it is pornography. We think of this as only like a man's battle, but there's this
00:39:46.060
2016 Barna study that found that one in three Christian women were struggling with pornography
00:39:52.300
use. Unfortunately, it's just ubiquitous. It's everywhere. And this is something that young
00:39:57.520
men and women are having to battle against. And we are excited to share a brand new resource
00:40:04.560
for women by women. It's called arise arise is a 21 day video series from covenant eyes designed
00:40:12.380
specifically for Christian women. It's a resource to help women overcome porn addiction and begin
00:40:18.640
their journey to sexual healing. You can join a safe, confidential community of women where your
00:40:23.840
story and struggle matter. You'll find hope and freedom and the tools to combat this addiction.
00:40:29.940
Go to arise for women.com. It's a free resource from covenant eyes arise for women.com.
00:40:36.520
Of course, the economy is a sore point, I think for Harris as it should be. And let's talk about that
00:40:47.340
when it comes to, I mean, it's under her watch, as you said, she's been in the white house for the
00:40:51.700
past four years. What specifically has the Harris Biden administration done to make inflation so bad?
00:41:00.820
Well, what they've done, the first thing they did is they continued even after COVID to flood the
00:41:09.020
economy with money, meaning that they, you know, once the economy began turning around after COVID,
00:41:16.080
which it had already started doing in 2020, it, uh, they continued to allow people to get
00:41:21.540
unemployment for extended periods of times, right? They increased entitlements, you know, snap benefits,
00:41:28.040
all those types of things. They, so they like $6 trillion is what the deficit, they spent more
00:41:34.400
than they took in by 6 trillion. Now, if any of the families of the people that are listening today
00:41:40.220
spend, you know, even 20% more than what they take in, they're going to go bankrupt, right?
00:41:46.780
But yet they don't have, there's no accountability for doing that. So what happened with that is,
00:41:53.260
is the, the, uh, the supply chain and all those types of things that initially helped, uh, prices
00:42:01.160
go up. They just were able to stay up because the extra money that was in the economy at the time,
00:42:07.400
for example, and I brought a couple, I want to make a couple of examples for you because I looked this
00:42:12.460
up in 2019, the price of milk was $3 today. It's $4 and 44 cents. That's 46% increase, 46%,
00:42:23.240
bread, $2 and 17 cents for a loaf, $3 and 49 cents is the average today, 60% increase.
00:42:31.580
Hamburger meat, just a pound of hamburger, $3.81, $5 and 80 cents today. Yeah. 50, 50%.
00:42:38.200
And that's not even like the organic. No, this is just your average basic. And they talk about wages
00:42:43.560
going up since they've been in wages have gone up 16%. But when this type of stuff goes up 50,
00:42:51.460
60%, you're actually going backwards. In fact, the, the best one that I have is that I brought a
00:42:56.720
prop today. Kind of reminds me of Carl Rose, that little board he did, but Carl couldn't write this
00:43:02.820
small. So in 2019, this dozen eggs, just like this dollar and 53 cents for a dozen. Okay. Now I don't
00:43:13.080
think the egg has changed much since 2019. Pretty much the same thing. Would you agree with that?
00:43:17.940
I think so. But today that same dozen eggs is $3 and eight cents. Wow. And I don't think the
00:43:24.960
chickens are getting paid more, you know, I mean, it's just the inflation of pumping money into the
00:43:31.840
economy cause it. That's why the fed had to, had to put the brakes on that by raising interest rates.
00:43:37.760
And so they, they, they caused all of this and then they raised interest rates so that people
00:43:43.460
couldn't afford things. It basically forced them not to be able to buy more. Right. Yeah. Which
00:43:48.520
was totally crazy. And now it's gone too far because, uh, what did they do? Overstate the
00:43:53.460
jobs report by 800,000 new jobs. They, they said, they said they had created 800,000 more new jobs than
00:44:00.680
they did this year. I mean, it's crazy. Tell me about that because that's a talking point. A few talking
00:44:07.200
points that I hear from the left is, well, they inherited such a bad economy because of Donald
00:44:14.200
Trump. 1.4% inflation when he left. So they say they, they inherited such a disaster for Donald
00:44:19.500
Trump. They've tried to clean it up. It's, I've even heard, this is a great economic recovery.
00:44:25.220
Inflation has gone down and the Biden administration created way more jobs than the Trump administration
00:44:31.200
did. Well, let's go back to the inflation thing for just a minute. Cause I want to remind people
00:44:35.140
this $3 and 8 cents. Okay. When they say inflation is now at 3%, all that means instead of it being
00:44:43.040
$3 and 8 cents, it's not going back to $1.53. It's going to go up 3% from here. So when they
00:44:50.600
say inflation is under control, that's after it had already gone up in the price of an egg,
00:44:55.020
a hundred percent, it's not going backwards now. And then, so they, they say they created all these
00:45:00.420
jobs, but just this year on their own government agency had to come out a week or two ago and say
00:45:07.140
year to date, we overstated the number of jobs we created by 800,000 jobs. That is a lot. I mean,
00:45:15.000
that is a, if that would have been on the Republican side, there would be hearings going on that and
00:45:19.940
investigations and criminal charges and stuff like that. Yeah. Okay. So also one thing that people
00:45:28.120
don't mention when they say all this job creation, the inherited bad economy by Biden is they completely
00:45:34.900
ignore COVID and the disaster that COVID caused and the lost jobs and the economic turmoil that we
00:45:41.780
were in because of COVID. I think I read that something like, and I could be wrong on this,
00:45:46.420
but somewhere in the 60 to 75% number, the jobs that they're claiming they created were people going
00:45:53.020
back to work. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So that's not, that's not growth in an economy,
00:45:57.380
right? That's not, you know, that's like me taking $2 from you and then giving you $1.50 back and
00:46:03.080
saying, I gave you $1.50, right? It doesn't, it doesn't work like that. It's in a lot of it is
00:46:08.020
like, it has nothing to do with anything that Biden has done. You know, a lot of moms, for example,
00:46:12.940
they started working from home. They took a part-time job, they stopped working and maybe their kid for
00:46:17.880
two years was homeschooled or was home from preschool. Their kid's in kindergarten now,
00:46:22.700
their kid's back in school. So they're going back to work. That really has nothing to do with
00:46:26.660
Biden's economy being good. It might actually be that they feel like they have to work because of
00:46:31.720
the rising costs and now they need two incomes. That's not necessarily a positive, a positive
00:46:38.740
economic result. No, no, absolutely not. And you know, the other thing too, that people need to
00:46:44.860
understand when Harris talks about, uh, raising the tax on corporations or raising the tax on
00:46:50.000
wealthy people, just remember all of that trickles down. If you, if you raise the cost of you doing
00:46:57.620
business, all right, or for this company doing business, then if somebody imposes an increased
00:47:03.660
cost on you, you're going to either figure out how to raise the price to the consumers or your
00:47:08.900
advertisers or whatever, because you're not going to just freely, Oh yeah, will you raise the price on me?
00:47:13.960
So I'll just make less money. It doesn't work like that. When you raise the price on corporations,
00:47:18.380
they're going to pass that on down as much as they can to the end user.
00:47:22.440
And it's not just people think, Oh, when there's an increase on corporate tax, it's just the CEO
00:47:28.600
that's going to be affected and CEOs make too much money. In fact, it's not going to affect him at all
00:47:34.400
or her at all. Probably. Yeah. It affects the employees. Yeah. It is a, it is a cost. It's a rising of
00:47:41.920
cost on the everyday American. Yeah. And it's a, all about, um, taking money from one group of people
00:47:51.080
and giving it to the other. That's like her proposal to give a first time home buyers free
00:47:56.040
$25,000. Yeah. Only though, if you're a first generation homeowner and you know what, that's,
00:48:02.900
that's, that's virtue signaling that unless you are a minority, forget about it, buddy.
00:48:11.160
Yeah. So that's what you, that's what she's trying to accomplish.
00:48:13.540
Where do you think the 25,000 is coming from? Yeah. It's coming from you and me. And I don't
00:48:18.140
care if you make $50,000 or 400,000, she's taking some of your tax money and giving it to somebody
00:48:24.720
else. Right. And if you want to give it to somebody else, that's your choice. Okay. There are plenty of,
00:48:29.280
you can give to Habitat for Humanity. Yeah. If that's what you want to do, but it's your choice.
00:48:33.460
Yeah. It's not forced on you. And so say you've got someone because, okay, theoretically,
00:48:38.160
say you've got a couple, they're first generation home buyers, but they're doing pretty well. You
00:48:42.860
know, they've, they're making $400,000 a year. You've got this other couple over here. They're
00:48:48.940
struggling to get by. Maybe they're making a total of $70,000 a year, but their parents owned a house.
00:48:55.780
They really could use more help. But instead what's happening is that Harris is saying,
00:49:01.540
I'm going to give $25,000 to this couple over here, right? Because they're first generation,
00:49:06.680
first time home buyers, even though they're making more money. And, but not this couple
00:49:11.400
over here because their parents happen to own a house and I'm going to take money from this couple
00:49:16.600
and give it to this couple over here, even though they're making more money. That is so-called
00:49:22.360
equity. That is social justice and it's not just. But you know what else it is? It's class warfare.
00:49:28.960
I mean, it's pitting people against people. That's not what America is about. Your mom and I went to
00:49:34.100
see the Reagan movie last night and man, it's such a reminder of what our vision should be for America
00:49:40.860
and what a great communicator and, and actually very, uh, ardent policy person that he was. Right.
00:49:51.200
And that he just believed in the people, right? He believed in the people. And also he was a person
00:49:59.120
of very strong faith. He was. And of course, that's one of the areas that we've kind of gotten
00:50:04.140
away from. We just allow, we just want to go along. Well, let's just go along with this and it'll be
00:50:08.220
okay. Again, exactly what happened. Yeah. You know, in Germany and we're not going to do that because
00:50:14.660
people like you and others around and, and the everyday American, we're not going to do that.
00:50:19.820
So I don't know what's going to happen in this election. Uh, we have the opportunity to,
00:50:24.800
for the good guys to win. But even if it does, even if they don't, we're not going to lay down
00:50:29.840
and say, okay, I tried and we failed. No, we're going to keep fighting for what, for,
00:50:33.700
cause it's not about fighting for me. It's fighting for you and for those children of yours
00:50:39.460
and Justin's kids and everybody else's kids. That's what it's about. And that's what we're
00:50:43.280
going to do. And at the end, we will win. Like Ronald Reagan said, when George Shultz asked him,
00:50:48.620
he was secretary of state, we need a better messaging on Russia. We win, they lose. Ultimately,
00:50:53.620
that's what's going to happen. Amen. Yes. I love Reagan. Everyone should read his
00:50:58.460
autobiography in addition to seeing that scene in his own words. Is that the one you're talking
00:51:03.100
about? It's called an American life. Oh, I read that. Yeah. Yes. And it's, it's very good.
00:51:08.020
And he was, yes, a man of faith. He was very deeply pro-life. Um, he also was a total life guy.
00:51:16.020
He loved his life. And I just think that that's very charming. And I read, I read a book by her
00:51:22.900
about him and their love story and the letters that they wrote to each other. And I just thought
00:51:28.780
that that was so nice. Yeah. It was really sweet. It makes you nostalgic for a different,
00:51:33.340
even though I wasn't alive during, uh, his presidency, but you're right. It's not like
00:51:38.160
hope is lost and we shouldn't think that it is. Um, okay. Last thing, even though that
00:51:43.500
on that one, one more thing about Reagan, sorry. Uh, so when you walk, when you go
00:51:47.340
the movie folks, there, a lot of it is, or a good amount of it is filmed at the ranch
00:51:52.400
they had in California. Um, was it Rancho de Cielo? Yeah. And mom and I had the ability
00:51:58.840
to, which is not open to the public. Okay. To go into the house they lived in and it looks
00:52:06.580
exactly like it did in the movie. And that's how it's really cool. That is cool. Uh, but we
00:52:11.140
were able to do that. We had a picture made in there and that was just a really cool thing.
00:52:14.920
Yeah. It's a, it was a really cool type of thing to be able to actually get in the house
00:52:19.420
and they, they're very modestly. The house really is probably a thousand square feet
00:52:23.000
or 1200, something like that. But anyway, uh, it's really, really cool and sad towards
00:52:28.520
the end, obviously. But, uh, you know, he was also some man that was humble because
00:52:33.040
he, he went to the American people. You remember? And wrote the letter that, that he had
00:52:37.900
Alzheimer's and he was ending the, entering the last phase of his life. I mean, it was
00:52:42.860
a really cool thing. Yeah. I remember when he died. Yeah. That was early 2000s, right?
00:52:48.020
I had it written on the side of my golf cap for a long time. Oh. June 5th, 2004. Yeah. Wow.
00:52:57.760
Last sponsor for the day is Preborn. So many of you guys ask me, how can you be involved in
00:53:02.880
the pro-life movement? How can you help save babies and serve moms while getting involved
00:53:07.640
in with pre-born is a really great way to do that. This is a large network of clinics
00:53:12.680
that provides these free resources, including free sonograms for pregnant women who are in
00:53:17.940
need. They save thousands of lives every year by providing these sonograms because a mom
00:53:23.040
is so much more likely to choose life when she actually sees the humanity of her unborn child
00:53:27.780
on that sonogram screen. A free sonogram costs $28. If you go to preborn.com slash Allie and you
00:53:34.960
donate just $28, you are helping save a life by offering this free sonogram, but whatever you can
00:53:41.320
donate, maybe it's $5,000, maybe it's $5. You can help Preborn serve these moms and babies. Go to
00:53:48.960
preborn.com slash Allie to donate. That's preborn.com slash Allie.
00:53:57.780
I want to end on, even though that would be a great exclamation mark to end on, I want to
00:54:03.760
say one more thing about the debate tonight. And advice that you would give Trump, I have my own
00:54:10.600
thoughts, advice that you would give Trump on a question that I think is sure to come up,
00:54:17.020
gun control. They're going to tell the horrible story, what happened in Georgia. They're especially
00:54:21.280
going to tell it because that's a swing state. And I know that sounds cynical, but that's how the media
00:54:26.060
is functioning. So they're going to say, what do you think about gun control? What do you think
00:54:32.240
about common sense gun legislation? And they're going to use that story to question him about it.
00:54:38.140
What do you think he should say? Well, I think he should start by saying, I am 100% in support
00:54:45.040
of the second amendment, which allows our citizens to have the right to bear arms. I think they should
00:54:51.600
be able to do that. However, I do believe that there are people in our country who shouldn't be
00:54:58.800
allowed, who should have more control. And that's obviously convicted felons. That's people maybe
00:55:04.500
that have a mental issue, a challenge that would not allow them to make the best decisions.
00:55:10.020
Um, and I would say that we need to do whatever we can to provide safety to our kids and our families.
00:55:19.480
And, but also I'm not going to take the right away from a law abiding citizen to protect themselves and
00:55:27.420
their family. I'm never going to be in favor of that. Cause at the end of the day, if we do that,
00:55:32.340
the only people left with the guns are the government and the criminals.
00:55:35.940
But I repeat myself. Um, I think that he could, if he could pull it off, I think it would be great
00:55:46.100
if he started out by saying in a concise way, a few weeks ago, I, a few weeks ago, God spared my life.
00:55:56.240
I was almost assassinated by a young man with a gun, a bullet grazed my ear by the grace of God.
00:56:02.860
I'm still here. That was a life changing experience for me. I know better than most people,
00:56:09.240
the potential danger that guns pose. And then I think he could transition into saying,
00:56:19.460
as you said, the support for the second amendment, the importance of law abiding people being able to
00:56:24.820
exercise that right of self-defense, and then also emphasize his desire to do whatever it takes
00:56:34.580
to end school shootings, to protect children, to upgrade the security apparatus that protects
00:56:43.940
children in these schools. If there is a law that comes across his desk that will put an end to school
00:56:50.640
shootings that does not compromise the right of law abiding people to defend them, to defend
00:56:56.760
themselves, then he may be in support of that. What is not a solution is, as you said, confiscating
00:57:04.420
the guns of law abiding people who want to protect their families. And that is the only solution that
00:57:10.340
Kamala Harris has given. That's not a real solution. All that she has proposed is gun confiscation.
00:57:16.100
Raphael Warnock, he is a senator from Georgia. He said just recently in an interview, I think it was with
00:57:23.000
CNN, that he supports Kamala Harris's support of confiscating guns, confiscating what they call assault
00:57:31.940
weapons. That's not a real solution. It's not going to happen. It violates the second amendment. So if you
00:57:36.880
are serious about ending school shootings, bring all of your solutions to the table. But gun grabbing is not a real
00:57:42.560
solution. And that's the only solution that she's given. So she must not be serious about ending school
00:57:46.940
shootings. So I think he can go personal. I think he can talk about, again, as a father and grandfather, wants to
00:57:55.280
protect those kids. But he is not going to violate the rights of you and me protecting ourselves. Because guess
00:58:03.060
what? No one is safer when you and I don't have the right to defend ourselves. It's not. We're more vulnerable. Your
00:58:09.540
kids are more vulnerable. That's exactly right. So she is the candidate of disorder and chaos. He is the
00:58:15.680
candidate, should be, of order and peace. And I think that's the contrast that they have to paint.
00:58:21.460
I think they do. And I think they do have to paint that. And I hope that they will. Although, if you
00:58:27.480
could back out today, President Trump, back out. No, I'm joking on that. At this point, gotta go with it.
00:58:32.460
We gotta go with it. We'll be watching it tonight. Yeah, I'm excited. I'll be here. Blaze TV is doing
00:58:37.620
coverage. I'll be here for the pre-show analysis and giving my thoughts there. So tune into that. I think
00:58:45.400
everyone can go to blazetv.com slash Allie. If you're not a subscriber, use code Allie to subscribe. You get
00:58:51.580
access to all kinds of exclusive content, including our analysis. And then other Blaze hosts will be here after
00:58:57.640
the show, but that's past my bedtime. And so they will be giving you the analysis in my stead. All right, Dad,
00:59:03.480
thank you so much. Is there, do you want to tell people again about your book? Oh, well,
00:59:07.720
Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon. And the cool thing about it is there's this conference coming
00:59:12.260
up where this book is going to be available. What is it? Called Share the Arrows. Oh, wow. Can you
00:59:17.840
imagine that? That sounds like an amazing conference. There may even be a book package thing that's
00:59:24.180
available for that. Oh, nice. So it could be good. But I think you'll love this book. Especially if you're a
00:59:27.480
VIP ticket holder. Oh, there's no question about that. VIP ticket holders may even, may even,
00:59:32.660
you know, maybe a signed copy available to that. So it's really good. I'd encourage, you know,
00:59:37.100
I know your conference is going to be attended by ladies. Very good book to buy. I think they would
00:59:42.260
enjoy it too. It's got a lot of great stories in there, but also for their husbands or their special
00:59:48.160
other one, their sons, definitely for their sons. Yeah. I think this is a really, really good book for
00:59:53.020
them. Yeah, it is. And you can get it, you can get it at the conference. Yeah. You can get it on
00:59:57.520
Amazon. If you're an audiobook person, you're a busy mom. I like to listen to audiobooks. He read
01:00:02.420
it himself. Yes. And Reagan. And Ronald Reagan also joined in with me. He actually reads part of my
01:00:08.220
book. Yes. Very hard to get that these days. Yes. We'll put a link in the description of this
01:00:12.860
episode. It's really, really good. Okay, dad. Thanks so much. Oh, it's a great time. Thank you.
