00:00:08.000Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, Jared Kushner, senior advisor to the President of the United States, joins us exclusively to talk about the Israel-United Arab Emirates peace deal.
00:00:18.000He talks about the 2020 reelection strategy for the president and so much more.
00:00:23.000I want to thank those of you that are monthly supporters of us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:27.000CharlieKirk.com slash support allows us to hire more staff and to keep our amazing production team doing two podcasts a day and one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
00:00:37.000As always, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:41.000We have another really important sister episode that you guys should listen to today where we dissect the Republican National Convention and exactly what happened.
00:00:49.000You guys are really going to enjoy that episode.
00:01:15.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:43.000It's great to be with you, and thank you for all that you do.
00:01:46.000I've really enjoyed watching you grow over the last years and your organization, the work that you've done, and you've really are a dynamo.
00:01:53.000So you have my total respect and appreciation.
00:01:57.000So I'm going to read from CNN here, and I want to congratulate you and your team on how hard you have worked on this Israel-United Arab Emirates peace deal.
00:02:06.000It says, the impending peace agreement between the UAE and Israel is a game changer for the entire Middle East.
00:03:09.000They've had 20 years of being stuck in a quagmire where you have all of these different interests that are looking to divide people and hold people back.
00:03:18.000The previous administration had left the Middle East in a total mess.
00:03:21.000They made the Iran deal, which was terrible.
00:03:23.000It put Iran on a pathway to a nuclear weapon.
00:03:38.000You had Iraq was falling apart, which allowed ISIS to form.
00:03:42.000Obviously, Yemen fell apart too, and Syria fell apart in Libya.
00:03:45.000So you have Iran's hand in a lot of the chaos that really has ensued.
00:03:50.000President Trump came in and he really galvanized the region around how do we find common areas of objective.
00:03:55.000And in order to have prosperity, which everyone wants, we need to have a common security architecture and we need to stop these old conflicts.
00:04:04.000So we called this the Abraham Accords because it was about bringing people of all faiths, you know, Christians, Jews, Muslims together to realize that we have so much that we want in common that we want together.
00:04:16.000Younger generations want to have a better job.
00:04:19.000And it's about making that the priority focus.
00:04:22.000So in this deal, getting Israel to come together with the United Arab Emirates, that hopefully will be the crack in the dam that allows for other Arab countries to do the same.
00:04:31.000And it will just change the Middle East in terms of what the discussion is.
00:04:35.000So instead of being focused on old conflicts, hopefully people can get really focused on pursuing new opportunities.
00:04:42.000And having visited Israel a couple of times, I was there when the embassy was moved to Jerusalem.
00:04:46.000I have seen how the region has gone from one where they didn't feel like America was on the side of what was right and what was good in the region instead of was trying to overly pander to Iran to now the tone in the region is a complete and total recalibration for the better.
00:05:03.000You know, visiting Judea and Samaria and some of the young people that live there, you know, the Israelis in particular, they felt as if the prior administration kind of left Israel on a kind of on an island, if you were.
00:05:15.000And I think the change in this administration's approach, thanks to you and your team, has just been incredible.
00:05:21.000Can you talk a little bit about how your team was able to pull this off from what you're able to disclose?
00:05:28.000Because this is not a small accomplishment.
00:05:30.000I mean, there are thousands of articles, Jared, praising what this has been done from people that were otherwise, but it would have been critics.
00:05:36.000Even Joe Biden came out and said he kind of almost took credit for it.
00:05:43.000Can you just give us some insight into how this was negotiated to take an Arab state and the Jewish state to have agreement to actually normalize relations?
00:05:54.000So I would say the first thing we did, you know, I obviously come from a different background than a lot of the career diplomats.
00:06:19.000And the number one thing we did was we really tried to listen and understand what the board looked like today, you know, not what it looked like 20 years ago or what the old grievances were.
00:06:28.000And pretty quickly, the board became very clear.
00:06:31.000What we realized was that there were a lot of fractured relationships.
00:06:35.000And so we started building the relationships back.
00:06:38.000When President Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem, a lot of the foreign policy experts criticized him for doing it.
00:06:45.000People said the world was going to end, which at the end of the day, again, the next morning the sun rose, the next evening, the sun set.
00:06:51.000And all the fears and predictions didn't happen.
00:06:54.000But people said he didn't get anything for it.
00:06:56.000But what President Trump said at the time when we were discussing it in our meetings was he said, well, first of all, you shouldn't get anything for doing the right thing.
00:07:16.000He also said, look, I made the promise and I keep my promise.
00:07:19.000And I know from doing business in that part of the world for a lot of years that if they know that you don't keep your word, then they won't respect you.
00:07:26.000And even though it will make some people uncomfortable, I want to be known as somebody who keeps my word, not just when it's easy, but more importantly, when it's hard.
00:07:34.000And so what President Trump actually got was not a traditional diplomatic concession, but he got the respect of the people in the region.
00:07:41.000And he also got the trust of Israel and of the Israeli politicians and the Israeli public.
00:07:47.000And they knew that he'd keep his word.
00:07:49.000When he did things like Golan Heights and then exiting the Iran deal, they also saw that he's somebody who was really going to look out for Israel's security and not push them to do something that would compromise that.
00:07:59.000And so, again, the steps that the president's taken have all been unorthodox.
00:08:03.000And there's been a lot of criticism from the career diplomats and from what I call the cottage industry of peace processors along the way.
00:08:11.000But the reality is that President Trump was able to achieve a different result by taking a different approach.
00:08:16.000And one of the lines that I would say is, people said my approach was different.
00:08:22.000And I said, well, look, this is Middle East peace.
00:08:25.000It's the hardest problem set in the world.
00:08:26.000It's almost the butt of a joke that you're going to try to make Middle East peace.
00:08:30.000But the reality is I said, look, there's a high probability of failure.
00:08:33.000But if I'm going to fail, at least I want to fail in an original way.
00:08:37.000I want to follow logic, try to do things that make sense.
00:08:41.000Try not to make the same mistakes that not mistakes, try not to do the same things that have failed in the past and try to bring forward to create a different outcome.
00:08:51.000And so it was about building trust with the different leaders, really to the point where nothing ever leaked out to the press.
00:08:57.000They were willing to have free range of discussions with us, we're able to brainstorm together.
00:09:03.000It was us all on the same side of the table saying, how do we, we all agree on what we want to accomplish.
00:09:09.000How do we work together to try to accomplish those objectives?
00:09:12.000And so it was a collaborative effort and it was a very creative effort.
00:09:15.000And ultimately, it took a lot of courage from Prime Minister Benjamin Etanyahu and the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed from the United Arab Emirates.
00:10:27.000And again, I want to just reinforce to our listeners, there are a lot of younger listeners, Jared, that are still learning about kind of the geopolitical complexity of the region.
00:10:36.000I just have to reinforce how big of a deal this is historically.
00:10:39.000I mean, every president has made some sort of an approach to try to get something like this done.
00:10:44.000And the only thing they're ever able to get done is Israel gives up more land and eventually, you know, the terrorist cells seem to get more emboldened.
00:10:53.000This was actually such a massive breakthrough that even the career diplomats, as you put them, they would not have been able to negotiate this for the couple decades.
00:11:03.000So Jared, I want to get into some points.
00:11:07.000What I would just say is that I think that for the younger generation, I think this is also a great thing to show that if you have an idea and you have a new approach and you're empowered to do it, you obviously need to listen to the advice of people who have done it before.
00:11:22.000You want to study all the things they've done and you want to be guided by past precedent, but you have to be courageous enough to follow logic and to follow things that you think will work because perspective is a matter of where you stand.
00:11:36.000And you have some people who have been stuck with a problem for so long that they just see it one way.
00:11:41.000But when you come in with a fresh perspective, sometimes you're able to accomplish things that other people can't.
00:11:46.000And so hopefully it's very empowering for the younger generation to realize that we do have the ability to take on some of these great challenges and things that people think can't be solved are solvable.
00:11:57.000If we are constructive, respectful, we listen, we work together, we study problems and we work hard.
00:12:03.000So much is possible that maybe some people think is impossible.
00:12:08.000And that's a perfect segue to kind of the three things I want to talk about that I believe the president will mention this week during the convention that your team helped pioneer.
00:12:18.000And that is the new trade negotiation post-NAFTA, the USMCA, also criminal justice reform, the First Step Act, which I think is really amazing.
00:12:28.000And I want to get into that at length because you were the one that put this forward.
00:12:32.000And the Democrats were talking about some of these issues when it comes to incarceration, yet they would not recognize at all last week their convention was President Trump who signed the most significant landmark accomplishment legislation when it came to that.
00:12:47.000And then also, of course, the right to try legislation that I know you were involved with as well.
00:12:52.000Can you just start with the USMCA and then get to the First Step Act as to just reminding the American people as we enter this political season of how the president has taken that creative and disruptive approach?
00:13:03.000And I know you've played a very important role in that.
00:13:06.000So, you know, trade policy was not something I knew much about, obviously, coming to Washington, but I didn't appreciate how much it impacts all of us.
00:13:15.000So if you think about the big debate in Washington, you've had politicians saying that they're for the American worker, but then they would make all these crazy trade deals that basically shipped our factories overseas.
00:13:25.000So we had the NAFTA trade deal between U.S., Mexico, and Canada in 1994.
00:13:30.000And then we had China entering the World Trade Organization in 2001, both things actually that were very much pushed by the Democratic Party.
00:13:38.000And through those trade deals, basically we've had about 70,000 factories that have left our shores and about 5 million jobs.
00:13:47.000And now the doctrinaires of free trade will basically say that, well, the good news about free trade is the labor cost in different places is lower.
00:13:55.000And so you end up in a situation where the cost of a t-shirt goes down by a dollar for everybody.
00:14:00.000And so the net benefit to society is better.
00:14:04.000But what a lot of these economists have failed to take into account is that there's maybe a distributed winning, but there's big concentrations of where the losses are.
00:14:14.000So a lot of these communities, whether rural or inner city communities, this is where a lot of the manufacturing was in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s.
00:14:23.000And then with all these trade deals, a lot of these factories closed, the steel mills closed, the plants closed.
00:14:28.000And what happened was these communities became hollowed out.
00:14:30.000There was no plan to transition these workers to a different skill set.
00:14:35.000So some of them got new jobs, but some of them didn't.
00:15:13.000And it took us about a year and a half to do.
00:15:16.000It was around the clock marathon sessions.
00:15:18.000It's the largest trade deal in the history of the world, $1.3 trillion a year of trade.
00:15:23.000And what the trade deal that President Trump ultimately got was it'll bring back about 80,000 auto jobs, about 500,000 jobs, and it will add a half a point to GDP to our economy forever just by rebalancing to have more manufacturing in North America.
00:15:39.000It was the first trade deal in over 20 years that the labor unions endorsed because it was very pro-worker and it did a lot of things.
00:15:46.000It had the strongest environmental protections of any trade deal in history that were enforceable, the strongest pro-worker enforcements.
00:15:53.000And it was phenomenal for America's farmers and ranchers.
00:15:59.000You heard a lot of squealing in Washington because he was threatening to terminate these deals or he was threatening to impose tariffs and he did impose tariffs, which again made people uncomfortable.
00:16:09.000But if people are comfortable, then they're never going to make change.
00:16:11.000So President Trump's negotiating style is he'll eliminate the status quo because in Washington, everyone can complain about the status quo.
00:16:19.000But then when it takes, you know, then when you want to change it, you know, everyone gets scared of the risk that it takes to get there.
00:16:25.000So President Trump eliminates the status quo.
00:16:27.000And then as a business guy, he'll do everything possible to mitigate the risk and then everything possible to lubricate the good outcome that you're trying to accomplish.
00:16:34.000And so that deal was just a masterclass in negotiation.
00:16:38.000And ultimately, President Trump made a phenomenal deal.
00:16:41.000And he's, again, most people make one trade deal every 10 years.
00:16:44.000President Trump did a trade deal with Mexico, a trade deal with Canada, a trade deal with China, a trade deal with Japan, a trade deal with South Korea.
00:16:51.000And he's opened more markets for American products than anyone before.
00:16:56.000So I do believe that trade is essential.
00:16:58.000It keeps the jobs and the wealth in the country.
00:17:01.000And President Trump's the first, you know, I heard Bernie Sanders talking at the convention about trade deals.
00:17:07.000And I respect Bernie has a point of view that's consistent for many years.
00:17:11.000He's always been about the American worker.
00:17:13.000But the reality is that President Trump's the first president to ever put in place pro-worker trade policies along the lines of what he's been talking about for a long time.
00:17:22.000So again, I think that Washington's a funny place.
00:17:25.000You have to, you know, again, for me, it was definitely an adjustment period.
00:17:28.000You were one of the few people who believed in me in the beginning, and I appreciate that, Charlie.
00:17:33.000But what I found here is you have a lot of people who can tell you how the world should be.
00:17:38.000You have a lot of moralists who will lecture you on what's right or wrong.
00:17:41.000But what you really need is a very strong sense of pragmatism and people who are willing to break a little bit of China to figure out how to get to a good outcome.
00:17:49.000And that trade deal was a major win for America and something, again, that only President Trump was able to accomplish.
00:17:57.000With the ever-increasing numbers of make and models, for example, Fiat, Arkea, Pacifica XT5, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:18:07.000Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning?
00:18:11.000And wait while a counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry.
00:18:16.000You have computers with access to rockauto.com and in your pocket.
00:18:22.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that you can then use for other important things like mortgages or food.
00:18:27.000Why would you choose to spend 30, 50, 100% more for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or a new car dealership?
00:18:33.000Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
00:18:37.000Rockauto.com prices are the same for everybody and are reliably low.
00:18:41.000Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.
00:18:47.000Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers for 20 years.
00:18:52.000Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:18:57.000They have everything from engine control modules and brake parts to tail lamps, motor oil, and even new carpet.
00:19:02.000The rockauto.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy to navigate.
00:19:05.000Clickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brand specifications and prices that you prefer.
00:19:11.000Go to rockauto.com right now and see all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:19:15.000You just tell them that Charlie Kirk show sent you amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts you'll ever need, rockauto.com.
00:19:24.000What was incredible is there are so many of these things happen simultaneously, right?
00:19:27.000So you were negotiating the Emirati-Israeli deal.
00:19:31.000You were trying to get the first step back pass, which I want to talk about.
00:19:40.000I mean, any other administration would have just had like, let's just focus on our entire executive branch government on this singular issue.
00:19:48.000Can you quickly talk about the First Step Act, Jared?
00:19:51.000And then I want to transition to how we are going to communicate all of these victories to the American people politically, especially as we are kind of going through convention week.
00:20:00.000Because one of my frustrations is so many people that are open-minded.
00:20:06.000They need to hear more about this incredible policy portfolio that you and your team and the president have been able to accomplish.
00:20:13.000So can you talk about the First Step Act and how that is in contrast to just some of the endless bluster of the Democrats that talk a good game on these issues, but in reality delivered nothing?
00:20:24.000So again, the First Step Act is the largest criminal justice reform in history.
00:20:30.000And, you know, President Trump, when he ran for office, he promised to fight for the forgotten men and women of this country.
00:20:36.000And, you know, what we did was we basically studied a lot of issues and we thought what could be.
00:20:42.000My father spent a year in prison and obviously it was a very emotional time for me and my family and something that taught me a lot about the world and really helped form who I am.
00:20:52.000And so for whatever reason, I went from a place where 10 years prior, I was visiting my father in a federal prison every week.
00:20:59.000And then 10 years later, for, you know, really through the grace of God, I was sitting in the office next to the president of the United States.
00:21:06.000And I got a call from Senator Grassley and Senator Durbin saying we'd really like to do something on this where we can fix some of these laws that were put in place in 1994, actually led by Joe Biden.
00:21:20.000And these laws created disproportionate sentences for crack versus cocaine and did a lot of things that basically resulted in putting a lot of black men in jail for very, very long periods of time.
00:21:33.000And so it was this tough on crime notion that went a little bit too far and had a lot of racial consequences to it.
00:21:41.000So they said we want to try to fix it and then also figure out how we can do better job rehabilitating people who are in prison.
00:21:48.000Because people who are leaving prison, you have to think about what's the purpose of a prison?
00:21:56.000And I believe that it should be to rehabilitate because if you're in a business and you know where your future customers are coming from, that's where you market to.
00:22:04.000We know where a lot of our future criminals are coming from.
00:22:07.000So while they're in our custody, we should be spending the time, the resource, and the money to figure out how do you help them not become future criminals so that you have less crime in society and you don't have to spend the money housing them and detaining them.
00:22:21.000And so I was able to get some buy-in from the Hill and study what's the right way to do it.
00:22:25.000I saw a lot of conservative support, a lot of liberal support, and I really tried to build a coalition.
00:22:31.000At first, a lot of people on the left were not willing to work with the White House just because they were afraid of politics.
00:22:38.000Again, I was asked the other day, but Senator Harris, I reached out to her office because she talked about criminal justice reform.
00:23:15.000We outlined what the appropriate reforms would be.
00:23:17.000But then we had to take it to the president.
00:23:19.000And President Trump being a builder, I really had no experience with the prison system.
00:23:24.000And I need to explain to him, you're a tough on crime law and order president, but this is why it makes sense.
00:23:31.000And basically, we explained to him that a lot of these people leaving prison, if we're not helping them get jobs and rehabilitate and figure out how to housing and figure out how to re-enter society, then you're basically predetermining that they're going to commit crimes in the future because they don't have a choice.
00:23:45.000And so he saw it right away and he says, I want to fix this.
00:23:50.000And when President Trump got involved and endorsed it, things started moving tremendously.
00:23:55.000And we had a couple of people who tried to fight us.
00:23:57.000Like, you know, like Attorney General Sessions was very anti-it, but ultimately we were able to work through it.
00:24:03.000And thanks to President Trump's leadership, we were able to get it passed with a massive majority.
00:24:07.000And then 10 states did copycat legislation.
00:24:10.000So again, I really believe that a lot of families were impacted.
00:24:16.000When somebody goes to prison, it's hard on them, but it's also very hard on their family and their friends and their community.
00:24:21.000But this gave a lot of hope to people in prison.
00:24:23.000And it showed that if you do things right, you can have a second chance.
00:24:29.000And so President Trump's been a strong proponent for second chances.
00:24:32.000And again, I heard the Democrat convention last week where they're talking about racial injustice and inequality and all these different things.
00:24:38.000Well, you don't solve that by complaining.
00:24:42.000And what President Trump has done over the last years is methodically lay out a set of policies to start try to address these injustices.
00:24:49.000And he's made more progress in three years than all these politicians who have been lecturing on this in the last 30 years.
00:24:55.000And so I think that it's a major accomplishment for President Trump, but hopefully just the beginning of what he's capable of doing to really correct some of these wrongs that do exist, unfortunately, in our country.
00:25:08.000I think that's a perfect transition, Jared.
00:25:10.000I was so enthused when I saw the email come out from either the campaign or the White House, the press release, of President Trump's second term promises.
00:25:18.000And whether it was teaching our kids American exceptionalism, school choice, which I am very enthusiastic about, which I believe could be one of the winning issues for the president coming into this election.
00:25:30.000Also, being, I believe there was a phrase that was used, being the drugstore of the world, which I love.
00:25:37.000Can you talk about the president's second term promises?
00:25:40.000Because this presidency has been very eventful.
00:25:43.000You guys have been through so much, more so than I think any other team has had to endure, whether it be the fake impeachment, the Mueller investigation, and then, of course, the virus, the lockdowns, and the recovery from it.
00:25:54.000In a lot of ways, the president has to communicate like he's going to rebuild the country from something that damage that the country has never really seen before in such a short period of time.
00:26:05.000Can you talk a little bit about the policy promises that the president laid out?
00:26:09.000And I think he did a great job on Steve Hilton's show around these sort of second term objectives.
00:26:17.000Let me talk about the macro before I get into the micro.
00:26:20.000I think the macro is that, you know, President Trump believes that, you know, based on his policies, it actually will be not easy, but it will be very achievable to recover very, very quickly from this economic downturn.
00:26:32.000And, you know, if you think about it, the coronavirus is leading to the acceleration of a lot of different trends.
00:26:37.000So there were trends towards digitalization that's now accelerating thanks to the virus.
00:26:43.000And so, you know, strength of a country is really a relative term.
00:26:50.000And so, you know, if we do this correct, you know, America can emerge from this way stronger in the world than before.
00:26:56.000If we do this wrong, though, America can emerge much weaker in relative power relative to the world.
00:27:01.000So what we've done is we've already started some of the most important aspects.
00:27:05.000Obviously, we did the economic stimulus, which really saved our economy.
00:27:09.000We had some very dark and uncertain days, but thanks to the way that the president solved it, it looks like we're heading towards a V-shaped recovery, which is excellent for our country.
00:27:20.000We've really accelerated the onshoring.
00:27:22.000America can't be reliant on foreign countries for a lot of these goods.
00:27:26.000We created Operation Airbridge, which basically was bringing flights that were just going back and forth over from Asia to get a lot of goods that we don't make in America over here.
00:27:36.000While simultaneously, we've opened a ton of factories here in America to make masks and gowns and tests and all the different things that we need.
00:27:45.000We want to be making all of our pharmaceuticals here in America as well.
00:27:48.000So the ability to do advanced manufacturing, if you think about advanced manufacturing, the components really are low-cost energy and high-skill labor, right?
00:27:59.000So the reason why a lot of our factories moved overseas is to chase low-skilled labor.
00:28:03.000But as robots and technology have developed, the component of manufacturing that's made up by people is actually smaller.
00:28:11.000So you can make up with a lot more with robots and with advanced manufacturing.
00:28:16.000And if you have a high-skill population, you can train people to do it well.
00:28:19.000So America is actually poised to be a leader in advanced manufacturing because of our low-cost energy and our great workforce.
00:28:27.000We just need to be oriented towards it.
00:28:29.000But so we've taken a lot of steps to do that.
00:28:31.000And President Trump's fully committed to bring all of our jobs back and bring our manufacturing back and making America a net exporter of many of these critical goods because people don't want to be reliant on other countries.
00:28:44.000They like their trading relationships with America.
00:28:46.000And as we've reduced a lot of the trade barriers with other countries by taking a tough approach, we now have access to more markets than we've had in a long time.
00:28:54.000So I think that macro-wise, he believes that we have the right opportunity to really thrive as a country and be even better off than we were before.
00:29:02.000And we've already put those policies in place.
00:29:03.000The deregulation that the president's done has allowed the economy to roar.
00:29:08.000We're working on a lot of different aspects that we believe will make a big difference.
00:29:12.000Healthcare, President Trump's taken on the drug companies.
00:29:15.000He's taken on the hospitals to create price transparency, which will, again, he's all about make sure that the patient has as much choice as possible and the lowest cost possible.
00:29:25.000And so no matter what insurance you're on, he wants you to have more choice, lower costs.
00:29:29.000And again, because President Trump wasn't from Washington, he took on all the lobbyists and the people who have been here for a while.
00:29:36.000And he's done some incredibly disruptive things that, quite frankly, nobody had the balls to do before.
00:29:41.000So healthcare-wise, his policies have been tremendous, and he's creating a much more efficient marketplace in quite an inefficient area.
00:29:49.000School choice is something that you mentioned, which I think is critical.
00:29:52.000And that's, you know, in a lot of the inner cities, you have a lot of failing schools.
00:29:56.000And what happens is, is we want to create an incentive for these local communities in order to give each parent the money that they would get for school and let them choose which school they go to to create a competition for which schools can be excellent.
00:30:11.000And the truth is, is that we can do a lot from Washington, but we're also going to need the local communities to rise up and come together and to take control locally.
00:30:20.000And we'll be the best partner that they have to execute that.
00:30:23.000But we can't want these local communities to want better schools more than they want better schools.
00:30:28.000And I believe that we have the right plan to partner with local communities to figure out how we can push that forward.
00:30:34.000The economy, again, President Trump knows how to create jobs, knows how to build an economy, and he'll do that well.
00:30:39.000And he's got a lot of different issues.
00:30:41.000So I think that if you think about also foreign policy-wise, President Trump's policy has been America first.
00:31:52.000Well, that's because President Trump is keeping his promises and he's making people very uncomfortable because he's trying to bring change.
00:31:58.000But the net result for his shareholders, which are the American people, is that you're going to have better jobs, more access to capital, better trading opportunities, a better economy, better health care, and the opportunity to live a better life.
00:32:11.000And so the one final thing we were talking before about the inner cities.
00:32:16.000President Trump does have a whole agenda for the inner cities to really reach out to non-traditional Republican voters, but to work on all the fairness issues.
00:32:24.000So again, I heard the Democratic Convention.
00:32:27.000It was a fairly dark depiction of America, the Republican Convention.
00:32:30.000It's going to be a very proud expression of how much we love America.
00:32:38.000We're going to lay out a lot of policy prescriptions for things that we can do that will make a big difference.
00:32:43.000And I think that his vision for America is incredible and the policies that he put forward are great.
00:32:49.000But I will just warn you: don't feel constrained to that list because, as the president says all the time, I think I've kept more promises than I made.
00:32:56.000So even though he's promising to do those things, I have no doubt he'll execute them.
00:33:00.000But hopefully he'll do way more as more ideas and opportunities emerge.
00:33:06.000And the president even said today, he said, where's Joe Biden's list of judges?
00:33:10.000I think that's such a winning message, I have to say.
00:33:13.000Putting Joe Biden and his campaign on defense on the type of judges they'll put on the courts is a winning message.
00:33:18.000And I love the stance against the hospital lobby and the pharmaceutical lobby and also to end the endless wars.
00:33:26.000Whether you're working from home or working on your fitness, you want what you're listening to to be actually what you're listening to, not what your roommates or your children are listening to.

00:34:20.000Can you just give us an analysis of how you guys are viewing the race?
00:34:23.000A lot of our listeners, we get thousands and thousands of emails a week of people that are a little anxious, to be honest.
00:34:29.000And I'm constantly communicating how polling is done and how our enthusiasm is off the charts and how I think actually things are breaking in the favor of the president.
00:34:38.000In your capacity that you're able to, can you just give us some of your analysis of how you're viewing the race and how you think things are trending?
00:35:33.000And we're seeing, again, our economy continues to stay open, which is very important.
00:35:37.000And more therapeutics are being advanced.
00:35:40.000Yesterday, we announced convalescent plasma, which is tremendous.
00:35:43.000And with the vaccine, the fastest vaccine ever to development was 13 months to phase three.
00:35:49.000And we did the first one in four months.
00:35:51.000And then we have three vaccines right now that are in phase three trials.
00:35:55.000And we're mass producing six vaccines so that the first one that can prove efficacy and safety will be able to start injecting right away.
00:36:02.000So we will have a vaccine by the end of the year.
00:36:04.000And we're feeling quite optimistic about that.
00:36:08.000With regards to the race, I'll just point you.
00:36:10.000I mean, people get scared because they see the public polls.
00:36:13.000In 2016, if you look at the public polls in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania between Labor Day and the end of the campaign.
00:36:21.000And the reason I say that is because right now a lot of the polls are not using likely voters, which is obviously the barometer you should use.
00:36:28.000But let's take the polls between Labor Day and Election Day.
00:37:56.000But he's got a very clear and effective way for America.
00:37:59.000And the one thing with President Trump as well is that if he gives a promise, you know he's going to keep that promise, unlike most politicians.
00:38:37.000We think that that's a state that could really break for Donald Trump.
00:38:40.000Same with New Hampshire, same with Maine, same with Colorado, same with Nevada.
00:38:44.000So we've got a lot of states, same with New Mexico, a lot of states that we didn't play last time, but because of the advanced notice we've had and because of the resources, we're playing in all those states.
00:38:55.000And we think that there's a big rush of enthusiasm for Donald Trump.
00:39:00.000And like I said, the polls are funny, but there's only one poll that counts, and that's the election.
00:39:06.000So I am hopeful that people will come out and vote for the person that they believe will make the country achieve its potential and help them live better lives.
00:39:15.000And I think that that's a very, very clear contrast in this election.
00:40:04.000What a great conversation that was with the senior advisor to the President of the United States, Jared Kushner.
