00:01:43.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here, CharlieKirk.com.

00:01:46.000 Debate prep for Donald Trump.

00:01:50.000 I firmly believe that the president can win the election this Thursday.

00:01:55.000 I believe that President Donald Trump can win the election at the debate.

00:02:00.000 He has to do some things correctly.

00:02:03.000 This debate will be watched by anywhere between 70 to 100 million people.

00:02:09.000 Almost the entire body politic of the country will be watching the debate.

00:02:14.000 Since there was no second debate and there was just town halls, this only makes this final debate one of the most important pieces of political feeder in American history.

00:02:28.000 I've said this election is the most important election since 1860, where the opposition is so motivated, so radical, so venomous to take over our government, to rule with an iron fist, and to put America on a crash course of which we will never recover.

00:02:45.000 So I have compiled a list of very specific suggestions that I am sharing both publicly and privately with the president of what I believe he needs to do to win the debate and with it, win the election.

00:03:01.000 If you are undecided at this moment, watching this election, I call undecided voters voters that are begging for a reason to vote for Donald Trump.

00:03:16.000 These are voters that are begging to be given any sort of argumentation, any sort of evidence, anything to go vote for Trump.

00:03:28.000 If you don't hate Trump by now, then you're in the persuadable category to go vote for Trump.

00:03:35.000 And so here are eight specific debate suggestions, recommendations, and pieces of advice of how President Trump can win the debate and with it, win the election.

00:03:51.000 Number one, do not interrupt Joe Biden.

00:03:56.000 Do not do it.

00:03:58.000 Now, the Presidential Commission on Debates, which is a complete and total travesty to any sort of impartial commission, recently came out and said they are going to mute President Trump and Joe Biden's microphone.

00:04:17.000 Now, on the surface, this looks like a jab towards President Trump.

00:04:22.000 On the surface, this looks like kind of an insult.

00:04:26.000 However, I'm in the minority opinion here.

00:04:29.000 I think this is a good thing.

00:04:31.000 I think that President Donald Trump, being in a metaphorical cage and seeing Joe Biden on TV never asked questions, understandably cannot help himself when he's on the same stage as Joe Biden.

00:04:44.000 He cannot help but become critical, become outspoken, and ask Joe Biden questions.

00:04:54.000 And so because of this, as the Presidential Commission on Debates, the Presidential Commission on the Debate, the Commission of Debates, I believe is actually doing the President a favor here.

00:05:07.000 I do not think Joe Biden has the mental capacity to make uninterrupted two-minute statements.

00:05:16.000 That dog will not hunt.

00:05:21.000 I think Joe Biden left his own devices without the shot of adrenaline when President Trump would ask him questions and understandably interrupt him means that Joe Biden will have to meander into places he has never gone before, actually make a coherent argument for two minutes straight.

00:05:40.000 You see, when people are struggling with mental cognition, those of us that have dealt with people in that state, when you constantly interrupt them, you're able to give them a shot of adrenaline and they regain their capacity to make sense.

00:05:58.000 President Trump should not give Joe Biden that opportunity.

00:06:03.000 President Trump should also not interrupt Joe Biden because persuadable and independent voters, specifically women voters, do not like the appearance.

00:06:14.000 They do not like the type of debate where there are constant interruptions.

00:06:22.000 And even myself, as I watch the debate, I don't like it when candidates interrupt each other.

00:06:26.000 I don't.

00:06:27.000 It makes for messy and bad television.

00:06:29.000 I can tell you when I am on cable TV and I have done well over 500 cable television hits in the last five years and I have done well over 1,000 total TV interviews in the last eight and a half years.

00:06:45.000 I do my best to almost never interrupt the other person I'm on TV with.

00:06:50.000 And anytime anyone interrupts me, it drives me mad and I say, I let you finish, let me finish.

00:06:57.000 Because call me old school.

00:06:58.000 I think that if you're going to have a debate, you have to have some sort of framework you're working from, some form of rules for engagement.

00:07:07.000 And that is not limited to allowing someone making a fool of themselves.

00:07:12.000 And you could take very specific notes that during their two minutes that you can address.

00:07:19.000 For people that want a return to some form of decency, and I'm not saying they're right or they're wrong, but they are out there.

00:07:29.000 These voters exist.

00:07:31.000 President Donald Trump will do himself politically well by not interrupting Biden.

00:07:38.000 He doesn't even have the opportunity to interrupt Biden, though, because his microphone will be muted.

00:07:43.000 I actually think this works greatly to the president's advantage.

00:07:47.000 Joe Biden interrupting Trump only makes Trump get off the topic that he was speaking about.

00:07:53.000 Donald Trump interrupting Biden only makes Joe Biden look like a victim, look like a sympathetic figure, and also gives Joe Biden the opportunity to not have to make his own argument, his own point, absent the quick adrenal rush afforded to him by President Donald Trump.

00:08:18.000 So President Donald Trump has to be very clear to allow Joe Biden the space to make those arguments.

00:08:26.000 Otherwise said, please claim the moral high ground in how this debate is actually executed.

00:08:33.000 Do not interrupt Joe Biden.

00:08:36.000 Point number two, which is a longer and more sophisticated point to make, which is President Donald Trump must force the point on foreign policy.

00:08:51.000 First and foremost, the President of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of our country.

00:08:56.000 The president of the United States negotiates peace deals.

00:08:59.000 The president of the United States is able to send our loved ones to war.

00:09:03.000 The president of the United States is the first phone call for foreign leaders, diplomats, prime ministers, and presidents.

00:09:12.000 The president has an unbelievable, unprecedented, and positive track record when it comes to foreign policy.

00:09:22.000 The president has victory after victory, where he has been able to notch up wins when it comes to the foreign policy arena.

00:09:34.000 Brokering peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, holding Iran accountable, abolishing ISIS, killing Qassam Soleimani and al-Baghdadi, ending the endless wars in Afghanistan, supplying Ukraine with the weaponry they need to hold Russia accountable.

00:09:59.000 This and so much more shows how President Donald Trump on the foreign policy landscape has been able to deliver results that Joe Biden not just never did, he did the opposite.

00:10:12.000 Everywhere that Joe Biden touched turned to chaos everywhere.

00:10:17.000 Everywhere that Joe Biden went, it became endless bedlam and chaos.

00:10:23.000 President Trump should make the argument, because it's true and it's popular, that every place that Joe Biden oversaw became a quagmire.

00:10:35.000 Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, China.

00:10:40.000 And President Donald Trump has to articulate the MAGA doctrine.

00:10:44.000 I wrote a whole book about it, which is strength in pinpointed and agile fashion against our enemies.

00:10:52.000 However, ending perpetual conflict and negotiating peace.

00:10:57.000 President Donald Trump, despite all of the criticism, is the peace president.

00:11:03.000 How many peace deals did President Barack Obama sign between Israel and Arab nations?

00:11:09.000 Foreign policy is a massive opportunity for President Trump to win in this debate.

00:11:18.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers.

00:11:20.000 It's amazing.

00:11:21.000 Connor here at Charlie Kirk Show, he is raving about Good Ranchers.

00:11:25.000 He says the marbled meats, the texture, the flavor, the depth, the juiciness.

00:11:30.000 He has not stopped talking about good ranchers' meat.

00:11:32.000 We've been talking about it.

00:11:33.000 We said, okay, give us some of that good ranchers' meat.

00:11:35.000 Boom! 0.99

00:11:36.000 That's right.

00:11:36.000 10 out of 10.

00:11:37.000 He's smiling.

00:11:38.000 It's true.

00:11:38.000 Go to goodranchers.com right now, and they began with the standard of bringing top quality meat.

00:11:44.000 T-bones, fillets, chicken, you name it.

00:11:44.000 That's what they're all about.

00:12:00.000 GoodRanchers is the place to be.

00:12:02.000 But guess what?

00:12:20.000 Typically, the last debate is a foreign policy debate.

00:12:24.000 The President of the United States, constitutionally, first and foremost, is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States government.

00:12:31.000 And this debate should focus on foreign policy.

00:12:34.000 You can see in the new guidelines released by the moderator from the Presidential Commission on Debates that they want to focus on climate change, the virus, things that have already been talked about, racial unrest.

00:12:45.000 The president shouldn't be afraid of talking about those things.

00:12:48.000 However, foreign policy is a massive arena of victory for the president.

00:12:54.000 President Donald Trump's foreign policy has been popular, it has been pragmatic, and it has been effective for our country.

00:13:02.000 The peace deals, holding terrorists accountable, holding China accountable.

00:13:07.000 President Donald Trump has one of the most successful foreign policy portfolios of any president in American history and not starting any new wars during his presidency.

00:13:17.000 So the second piece of advice for debate prep for Donald Trump is lean in on the foreign policy.

00:13:23.000 Whether or not they ask the question, find a way to bring it back to presidential leadership when it comes to foreign policy.

00:13:31.000 Make a concerted effort to talk about how you have brought Israel and the United Arab Emirates to the table and ask, Joe Biden, in your 47 years of being in Washington, D.C., how many peace deals did you broker between Israel and the Arab states?

00:13:46.000 Did your administration create ISIS or defeat ISIS?

00:13:50.000 Because we defeated ISIS.

00:13:52.000 Did you guys expand the war in Afghanistan or end the war in Afghanistan?

00:13:56.000 Because we're ending the war in Afghanistan.

00:13:59.000 Did the Syrian civil war escalate or de-escalate under your administration?

00:14:04.000 Did China gain power or lose power under your administration?

00:14:08.000 Did North Korea launch more rockets or less rockets under your administration?

00:14:13.000 Did Russia go into Crimea or not under your administration?

00:14:18.000 Did Venezuela start to become more hostile or less hostile during your administration?

00:14:24.000 And go through the list.

00:14:25.000 Every single area on the planet became perpetual bedlam under Joe Biden.

00:14:34.000 And it is a point that I think President Trump needs to focus primarily on.

00:14:39.000 And he should say in a very self-deprecating way, and this is another piece of advice that I have, but it ties in nicely here: that President Donald Trump needs to say, you might not like my style, but you can't disagree at the results.

00:14:53.000 That kind of self-deprecation opens up a likability that President Trump needs for persuadable and independent voters.

00:15:02.000 This election is far from over.

00:15:06.000 The outcome is far from certain.

00:15:08.000 And foreign policy is something that has not been at the forefront, but it absolutely should be. 0.84

00:15:15.000 With the epidemiological Pearl Harbor that China sent towards our country, with the amount of suffering and chaos that we have had to endure because of the Chinese coronavirus, President Donald Trump should be unafraid.

00:15:29.000 In fact, he should be quick to proclaim the mantle of a successful foreign policy portfolio. 0.84

00:15:39.000 One that no president in recent memory has gotten even close to being able to achieve or accomplish.

00:15:47.000 The third piece of advice that I will be sharing with the president, both publicly and privately, is that President Donald Trump needs to be very clear about who will be in charge.

00:15:59.000 President Donald Trump should say three to four times, because it will catch people's attention, say that the Harris administration will shut down your churches.

00:16:09.000 The Harris administration will shut down gun shows.

00:16:14.000 The Harris administration will only play into big tech's wishes.

00:16:19.000 She is from the Bay Area, after all.

00:16:22.000 President Donald Trump needs to make it clear that Joe Biden probably will not finish out his term.

00:16:28.000 A majority of swing voters believe this.

00:16:30.000 And a majority of people in the middle are very afraid of Senator Kamala Harris becoming president of the United States.

00:16:40.000 Those words, Harris administration, sends a chilling effect to swing voters and Republican-based voters.

00:16:49.000 And just saying it, speaking it out into the existence, will give people the reality that they're facing in this election.

00:16:57.000 That it's not just Trump versus Biden, but it's Trump versus an opportunistic, power-hungry, radical California Democrat who was voted to be the most liberal senator in the United States Senate, who by all accounts and all polls and all reaction lost the debate against Vice President Pence.

00:17:17.000 The Harris administration will pack the courts.

00:17:20.000 The Harris administration will recognize D.C. as a state.

00:17:23.000 The Harris administration will recognize Puerto Rico as a state. 0.59

00:17:27.000 Repeating that, leaning in on that, will terrify swing voters, and it should, because it's true.

00:17:34.000 President Trump needs to bypass Joe Biden, and it will upset Joe Biden, it'll irritate him, and it'll make him say something that he otherwise would not say.

00:17:49.000 Look, this holiday season, more people will be mailing stuff than ever before.

00:17:53.000 They're mailing things all over the place.

00:17:55.000 That means the post office is going to be busy.

00:17:57.000 It's going to be a circus.

00:18:53.000 Never go to the post office again.

00:18:57.000 We are going through debate prep for Donald Trump.

00:19:00.000 Number four is do Hunter right.

00:19:06.000 President Donald Trump will rightly not be able to help himself when he's on stage with Joe Biden to mention the New York Post story.

00:19:14.000 He will not be able to help himself.

00:19:15.000 I will not give the advice, because I don't think it's the right advice, not to mention it.

00:19:19.000 Some people that are saying that are completely and totally wrong.

00:19:22.000 This is a legitimate story and a legitimate laptop that has been verified, that has been validated.

00:19:28.000 These emails are legit and there are more stories coming.

00:19:30.000 But you must do this correctly.

00:19:33.000 If you go too hard against someone that is not running for the presidency but connected to Joe Biden, it will get sympathy votes both for Joe and for Hunter.

00:19:42.000 That's what happened in the first debate when President Trump went hard after Hunter in a moment where he where the blood was definitely flowing and it did not pull well, it did not react well.

00:19:53.000 So, the correct framing of how President Donald Trump is able to talk about Hunter Biden must be directly correlated with my second point that I made about foreign policy.

00:20:03.000 As President Donald Trump is taking victory lap after victory lap on the peace deals, on the canceling of the Iran deal and holding China accountable, President Trump must then say, based on all public information we have, Joe Biden is a compromised candidate.

00:20:25.000 New laptop emails that have come out and have been validated and corroborated that my opponent has not yet even said are inauthentic and has not commented on because he's called a lid on his campaign the last couple days shows that he was doing numerous business deals with his son while he was vice president,

00:20:47.000 selling access to the White House, selling back end access to the State Department, selling access to meetings with the vice president, and completely contradicted himself.

00:21:00.000 The president must not get too upset visibly about this.

00:21:06.000 He should not call Joe Biden a criminal.

00:21:09.000 That's rally talk.

00:21:10.000 That's fine.

00:21:11.000 I'm cool with that.

00:21:12.000 Instead, he should just ask the question, understated.

00:21:17.000 So why is it, Joe, that you haven't said whether or not these emails are real or not?

00:21:22.000 And why is it your son emailed that you get a share of all these deals?

00:21:29.000 I think the American people deserve some answers.

00:21:32.000 Boom.

00:21:32.000 That's it.

00:21:33.000 Then Trump's microphone will be muted, and then Joe Biden has the opportunity to answer it.

00:21:37.000 The wrong way to do the Hunter Biden thing is this. 0.99

00:21:40.000 The wrong way would be: Hunter Biden's a crackhead, you're a terrible father, you are a terrible student, you guys are both criminals, and everyone is criminal for not talking about it. 0.99

00:21:50.000 That is the incorrect way to handle this. 0.99

00:21:52.000 Just not.

00:21:54.000 But if you do Hunter Biden right and you list the countries that have been revealed in these emails, Kazakhstan, the Chinese Communist Party, Ukraine, Iraq with his brother, all of these different deals that are coming out in this laptop revelations, that's how you do Hunter Biden right.

00:22:13.000 And you use the term compromised candidate.

00:22:17.000 People are starting to believe it.

00:22:19.000 Now, remember, these debates have a couple purposes.

00:22:21.000 You don't want to lose your base.

00:22:22.000 You want to motivate your base and you want to win over persuadables.

00:22:26.000 It is very little to any utility to try and win over registered Democrats that already like Joe Biden.

00:22:32.000 Don't do that.

00:22:34.000 There is no reason to do that.

00:22:35.000 Instead, for the swing voter in Scranton, Pennsylvania, that is getting massive amounts of propaganda sent to them by the Biden campaign, that is getting an overwhelming amount of literature sent to them by the Democrat Party.

00:22:52.000 President Trump needs to persuade the hardworking middle-class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and in Erie, Pennsylvania, that is earning $65,000 a year, that it is wrong, it is dangerous, and it is immoral that Joe Biden parades around as the Scranton candidate while he acts as if he is the actual swamp candidate via his son.

00:23:22.000 Do Hunter right.

00:23:24.000 Do not get too emotional and make it far less about Hunter Biden and make it all about Joe Biden.

00:23:29.000 Do not make it about Hunter Biden or else there will be sympathy points won.

00:23:33.000 That is point number four.

00:23:34.000 Do Hunter right.

00:23:36.000 Piece of advice number five.

00:23:39.000 Republicans don't do this enough, and President Trump did this in 2016.

00:23:44.000 President Donald Trump needs to bluntly ask for votes.

00:23:51.000 He needs to look into the camera, not look at Joe Biden and not look at the moderate, not the moderator, and say, to black America out there, if you feel as if Democrats who have been running your cities and running your city councils,

00:24:06.000 who have been saying one thing and doing another, that have contributed to failing public schools, that have been creating chaos on your streets, I ask you plainly for your vote.

00:24:22.000 I ask you to trust a different type of candidate, someone who did deliver opportunity zones, historical black colleges and universities, someone who did create the lowest ever black unemployment rate, lowest ever black poverty rate, the first step back. 0.66

00:24:36.000 I ask for your vote. 0.52

00:24:38.000 I also ask for your vote because I've earned the vote of other people that you revere in the black community, such as 50 Cent.

00:24:46.000 He should be unafraid to say that.

00:24:47.000 It'll break the internet.

00:24:48.000 Most people don't know it.

00:24:50.000 That he has earned support from people like Herschel Walker.

00:24:54.000 The president should do the same for Hispanic voters.

00:24:57.000 But it's not enough just to say the accomplishments.

00:25:00.000 Some people, they need the ask.

00:25:03.000 They need to have the direct eyes into the camera and say, I ask you for your vote because I believe I've earned it the last four years.

00:25:12.000 And I think you know that Democrats say one thing and they come around for election cycles and they do nothing.

00:25:19.000 I've already done all these things for the black community.

00:25:21.000 And now I humbly ask you to trust me with your vote.

00:25:25.000 If President Donald Trump can win 10, 12, 15% of the black vote, he wins this entire election in a landslide.

00:25:36.000 We are already seeing polling that is reflecting and voter registration that is reflecting that President Donald Trump is on pace to do historically well with black voters in this country. 0.57

00:25:47.000 With 70 to 80 to 100 million people that will be watching on Thursday, with no other competing sports, with no other real competing prime time television events, it is more important than ever that President Trump just leaves it out there.

00:26:03.000 Ask for the vote.

00:26:04.000 Say, I want to win your trust again, and I will never forget it if you invest with your vote in this candidacy and this presidency.

00:26:17.000 Ask for the vote for black voters and Hispanic voters in particular, because I really believe, based on all the data that I have in front of me, that that could be one of the major differences and winning strategies for the president.

00:26:32.000 Number six, when the Chinese coronavirus gets mentioned, President Donald Trump has to lean in on the human cost of the lockdowns amongst Democrats, liberals, and swing voters.

00:26:46.000 It has become widely accepted, and it has become very popular, is one way to say it, but it has become the conventional wisdom now amongst swing voters and suburban voters that these lockdowns have done more harm than good.

00:27:05.000 They have only delayed the inevitable.

00:27:08.000 They have not stopped the spread.

00:27:10.000 They temporarily stunted the spread and then only accelerated it as soon as we got back to real life. 0.76

00:27:16.000 We have lost more young people in California to suicide than to the Chinese coronavirus. 0.64

00:27:22.000 Alcoholism, depression, self-harm have all gone up dramatically.

00:27:28.000 Over 100,000 small businesses have gone under since last spring, and we're on pace for another 100,000 to go under this fall.

00:27:37.000 The rich have gotten richer and middle-class families have struggled.

00:27:40.000 President Donald Trump should put himself on the correct side, like he did with Savannah Guthrie, as being smart, being brave, being wise, being safe, but not being afraid.

00:27:51.000 It's a very important position.

00:27:54.000 Joe Biden's entire virus strategy is based in fear.

00:27:58.000 It is not based in wisdom.

00:28:00.000 It is not based in learning from our mistakes.

00:28:02.000 When you've lost more young people to self-harm and suicide than from the actual virus, maybe we should admit something foolish is happening here.

00:28:10.000 And President Donald Trump is absolutely on the correct side of this.

00:28:15.000 Whereas Joe Biden will say we're going to lock the country down again and run to the hills.

00:28:19.000 We're going to trust science.

00:28:21.000 Well, the science is telling us that these lockdowns are hurting people.

00:28:26.000 They're hurting them financially.

00:28:27.000 They're hurting them sociologically.

00:28:28.000 They're hurting them socially, I should say.

00:28:31.000 They're hurting them spiritually.

00:28:32.000 They're hurting them financially.

00:28:34.000 They're hurting them in every single capacity imaginable.

00:28:38.000 President Trump should say that the lockdowns have not been a victimless action.

00:28:44.000 He has to say that term.

00:28:45.000 It has not been victimless because everyone knows someone that is now more addicted to drugs, alcohol, self-harm than before the lockdowns.

00:28:57.000 And President Donald Trump has to take the moral high ground when it comes to reopening our country because a safe and seamless reopening to America is a winning issue.

00:29:08.000 Despite what the activist media might tell you, that lockdowns are the only way, the American people actually want a safe, reliable, brave, and wise reopening of America.

00:29:21.000 The lockdowns have grown largely out of favor in the American people for good reason because they have had no scientific utility whatsoever, epidemiological utility, to actually preventing the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

00:29:36.000 It only temporarily stalled it.

00:29:39.000 Parents want their kids back in schools.

00:29:42.000 Businesses want to be reopened.

00:29:45.000 Entrepreneurs want a chance to take risks in the marketplace.

00:29:48.000 And President Trump, he must make the argument that the human cost, if we care about people, has been unacceptable.

00:29:58.000 And Joe Biden stands as the lockdown candidate.

00:30:01.000 I stand as the wise and brave and reopening candidate to get us back to normal life.

00:30:07.000 And this is changing in real time, by the way.

00:30:09.000 Two months ago, the lockdowns were viewed much more favorably than they are today.

00:30:15.000 And despite the persistent and relentless fear-mongering by the activist media, the American people, the swing voters, the muscular class, the middle class, they are exhausted and having to wear a mask when they shower, wearing a mask when they get in an Uber, wearing a mask when they're 25 feet away from somebody, wearing a mask in between bites when Gavin Newsom tells them that the top-down edicts, the micro-tyranny,

00:30:44.000 the ruling class wishes, the power class must be challenged.

00:30:48.000 There is pent-up frustration amongst normal people in this country, where Joe Biden represents the wealthy few and the elites that can survive another nine months, another nine years of lockdowns.

00:31:00.000 Normal people want their life back, and they will vote in huge numbers for a president that harmonizes with that message.

00:31:08.000 The human cost of the lockdowns, President Trump must lean in on.

00:31:13.000 And it was something the activist media mocked him about.

00:31:16.000 Oh, who's to say that suicides will go up?

00:31:18.000 They have.

00:31:19.000 Alcoholism, drug use, social isolation.

00:31:22.000 All of those things have gone up because of the central planners, people like Joe Biden.

00:31:30.000 If you guys are listening to this program and you're not listening on good earbuds, I got a solution.

00:31:34.000 The whole Charlie Kirk team, they wear Raycons.

00:31:37.000 Raycon, they're wearing them right now.

00:31:39.000 They're wearing them when they sleep.

00:31:40.000 They're wearing them when they work out.

00:31:41.000 They're wearing them when they're running.

00:31:43.000 They're wearing them when they're editing.

00:31:45.000 That's because the new everyday E25 earbuds are the best ones yet.

00:31:48.000 Six hours of playtime, seamless, Bluetooth pairing, more base, a more compact design, noise-isolating fit.

00:31:54.000 The company was co-founded by a bunch of people that I don't like mentioning anymore because they're not very good people, but anyway, it's a good product.

00:32:01.000 Give them a try.

00:32:02.000 Raycon has a 45-day free return policy so you can make sure the wireless earbuds are for you.

00:32:26.000 We are going through debate prep for Donald Trump.

00:32:29.000 Number seven, I hate to be this simple, but it's so true. 0.99

00:32:36.000 The old expression is: it's the economy stupid, and polling reflects that it's the number one concern. 0.98

00:32:41.000 It's the number one advantage for President Donald Trump. 0.99

00:32:44.000 President Donald Trump has to frame the economic argument like this: I will lower your taxes.

00:32:51.000 Joe Biden will raise your taxes.

00:32:53.000 I believe in entrepreneurs.

00:32:55.000 I also do not believe in corporate tyranny.

00:32:59.000 That end part is very important.

00:33:02.000 President Donald Trump can win the economic argument and win the election if he becomes the middle-class warrior, if he becomes the defender of the muscular class.

00:33:14.000 People already trust him on the economy.

00:33:16.000 His numbers will be boosted by five to seven points.

00:33:19.000 If he says, I will be unafraid to tackle corporate tyrants when they rear their head, Joe Biden is the corporatist candidate.

00:33:27.000 Joe Biden is funded by the richest people in this country.

00:33:29.000 Joe Biden will win the richest counties in America.

00:33:32.000 Joe Biden will represent the multi-trillion dollar tech companies.

00:33:37.000 And Joe Biden is the corporatist candidate.

00:33:42.000 Joe Biden is not the middle-class worker candidate.

00:33:44.000 Joe Biden is not the entrepreneurial candidate.

00:33:46.000 Joe Biden is not the people that work at their hands candidate.

00:33:49.000 Joe Biden is the candidate that represents the needs, wants, and desires of an entrenched power class that call the shots for the transnational corporations that have their $70 million Gulfstream private jets at their disposal at any time.

00:34:08.000 That's who Joe Biden represents.

00:34:11.000 President Trump is not funded by the billionaire class.

00:34:13.000 President Trump is funded by small dollar donors.

00:34:16.000 It is Joe Biden that has received more contribution from the billionaires than any other candidate in recent history.

00:34:23.000 Mike Bloomberg is spending $2 million a day in Florida alone to try to win the state for Joe Biden.

00:34:31.000 So President Trump must lean in on the low-tax, middle-class focus and also on healthcare.

00:34:38.000 Talk about health care transparency, price transparency. 0.79

00:34:41.000 My good friend Cynthia Fisher is doing amazing work on health care price transparency so that hospitals should be forced to show their prices.

00:34:50.000 That hospitals should not disclose their prices from their consumers.

00:34:55.000 Healthcare price transparency is critical to a market.

00:34:59.000 And President Trump signed the executive order pushing for health care transparency and price transparency.

00:35:06.000 The economy is the number one issue according to voters, and the economy is the number one issue they trust the president most on. 0.93

00:35:14.000 Leaning in on how the president had the lowest ever black, Latino, Asian American, and disabled unemployment is a winner. 0.98

00:35:21.000 Doing so and challenging Joe Biden and saying Joe Biden is about to say that he had a good economy. 1.00

00:35:27.000 Know that our last three years prior to these lockdowns was the harvest that allowed us to survive the nine months of the famine and the shutdown.

00:35:37.000 Because President Donald Trump's policies when it came to the economy created the greatest economy in American history, and we will have it again.

00:35:44.000 And guess what?

00:35:44.000 Polling shows us that voters believe that.

00:35:49.000 Polling shows us that voters trust President Donald Trump with the economy, not Joe Biden.

00:35:58.000 And number eight, finally, the eighth piece of advice for President Donald Trump on how he can win the debate and win the election.

00:36:07.000 It's one word: smile.

00:36:10.000 He has a million-dollar smile.

00:36:14.000 I could say a billion-dollar smile, actually.

00:36:17.000 Even the woman who said she did not like him in the debate, Town Hall, NBC, Savannah Guthrie, the prosecutor, even the woman that came up, she said, you have the most amazing smile.

00:36:28.000 President Donald Trump should be the happier, more positive, optimistic candidate.

00:36:34.000 Joe Biden is a dark, depressing, confused, antagonistic candidate.

00:36:41.000 President Donald Trump should lean in on a better tomorrow.

00:36:44.000 The positivity runs in the blood of the American spirit.

00:36:48.000 President Donald Trump should be unafraid to talk about tomorrow will be a brighter day in America.

00:36:56.000 Smiling, being almost self-deprecating, positive.

00:37:02.000 And anytime he gets insulted, say, whatever, Joe, people don't believe that.

00:37:06.000 Then get back to a message where we can rise higher, where we can, as a country, become an aspirational nature, an aspirational country, I should say.

00:37:16.000 Everything that Democrats believe is rooted in the oppression Olympics.

00:37:21.000 Everything that President Trump believes in is aspirational in nature.

00:37:26.000 That we can climb higher, that we can be stronger.

00:37:29.000 And he has to embody that by smiling.

00:37:33.000 When a candidate smiles like Obama did, it's hard to beat.

00:37:39.000 If President Trump leans in on that and is the most optimistic and more positive candidate, he will win the debate and with it, win the election.
