00:00:56.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:47.000So yesterday we were in Missoula, Montana, which is known to be one of the more liberal pockets of the red state of Montana.
00:01:58.000We started the day with our Prove Me Wrong event on the campus of University of Montana.
00:02:04.000Now mind you, there's only about 10,000 students, a little over 10,000 students that attend the University of Montana.
00:02:11.000We had well over 15% of the student body attend our Prove Me Wrong event on campus yesterday.
00:02:21.000We had over 1,500 students on campus attend.
00:02:26.000You see, there is a movement happening on these campuses, and what Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action is doing, and Turning Point Action on the political side, is making a profound and deep and lasting impact.
00:02:40.000We're out there taking questions from people who might disagree.
00:03:09.000We have never seen this type of enthusiasm, this type of spirit, this type of resolve for a better nation, this kind of energy.
00:03:19.000And I want to play some of the videos here of our entering University of Montana.
00:03:24.000I could tell you, the students on campus, look at that right there, that is just a little bit of a, that's just a snapshot of the students that come during the middle of the day, and it was a beautiful day in Missoula, Montana, to hear from me, to meet other like-minded conservatives and patriots, to get a MAGA hat, and most importantly, most importantly, register to vote.
00:03:48.000Now, Blake, the population of Montana is a little over a million, is that correct?
00:04:08.000So therefore, if it's about sixty percent turnout, the winner of the Senate race will need to get like two hundred eighty thousand to three hundred thousand votes-ish.
00:04:18.000Trump got 343,000 in 2020, but he had 57% of the vote.
00:04:22.000Yeah, I want everyone to be clear, though.
00:04:25.000So when we register 100 voters, you might say, that's not a big deal.
00:04:29.000But that's like registering 18 times that in the state of Pennsylvania for a Senate race, because Pennsylvania is like 18 times the size of Montana.
00:04:39.000Arizona is nearly 11 times the size of Montana.
00:04:44.000And so that's like registering 11,000 new voters in this, I'm sorry, 1,100 new voters in the state of Arizona.
00:04:51.000You guys get what we're talking about here.
00:04:53.000And so the race that is in question is the future of the United States Senate.
00:04:58.000Now understand, Kamala Harris, if she were to win, she wants to get rid of the filibuster, do Green New Deal, Do DC and Puerto Rico estates she wants to abolish the Electoral College She wants to then have HR 1 and most importantly and most creepily amnesty exactly and so the control of the US Senate is Critical which is exactly what we spent all day yesterday in Montana With these students and also a great event on campus Blake the energy yesterday was terrific
00:05:44.000And so you could see the signs of it in a lot of places and there were I mean there were truthfully like a decent number of kind of weird mutant like counter protesters like it was so telling like the the visual contrast between pro charlie and anti charlie and it's a little I have to admit it's a little depressing you're like how do we lose to these like I know who's like I want to side with with those weirdos but And just to be clear, there were far more people who were supportive of us.
00:07:32.000And then we had the event with Tim Sheehy afterwards, where we drew a crowd of nearly a thousand people, again on campus, at 3.30 in the afternoon.
00:07:41.000If you want to host a campus event, don't do it at 3.30 in the afternoon.
00:07:44.000You know, people have class, they're taking naps, doing stuff.
00:07:51.000And so Tim Sheehy is running up against Jon Tester.
00:07:54.000Jon Tester is a left-wing Democrat, California and New York liberal, who is heavily financed by lobbyist cash, who has forgotten the people of Montana and has been for quite some time.
00:08:45.000And again, there were like two lunatic protesters, and this is how it works.
00:08:49.000There were these, actually three, but there were these two Native American protesters that stand up and they're screaming, which is too bad because the Native American population has been treated so poorly and towing the Democrat Party line is not the best way for the prosperity of indigenous people in this country.
00:09:05.000So they're screaming loud and, you know, Tim Sheehy's all these terrible things.
00:09:57.000But if any of you guys right now are in Montana, have friends in Montana, family in Montana, this is mission critical everybody.
00:10:04.000We are so focused on the presidency, but this Senate seat, this singular Senate seat, can be an insurance policy and also If Donald Trump is to win, which we're all working our tail off to get that done, he needs a Senate to work with.
00:10:24.000It's all going to happen in the red state of Montana.
00:10:26.000If we do not win in Montana, it is be a failure of our own side.
00:10:34.000You don't need to tell me that life is precious, that it could get all taken away in an instant.
00:10:38.000That's why I keep a four-week emergency kit from My Patriot Supply in my home.
00:10:43.000It's got everything my family could need during a crisis.
00:10:45.000With over 2,000 calories a day, there's enough to go around during times of social unrest, government crackdowns, or God forbid, an attack on the homeland.
00:10:54.000The food lasts up to 25 years, ready whenever disaster strikes.
00:10:58.000We've seen mass panic in our lifetimes before.
00:11:04.000Right now, you can get $50 off the same 4-week emergency food kit that I keep in my home.
00:11:10.000Go to mypatriotsupply.com and save $50 on a 4-week emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply and we'll send it over as fast as humanly possible.
00:11:18.000Trust me, I know my order showed up in one day and it shipped for free.
00:11:21.000Get your 4-week emergency food kit at mypatriotsupply.com.
00:13:21.000Jon Tester did, indeed, rank number one in cash from lobbyists, according to an AP fact check.
00:13:29.000Republicans are saying that Jon Tester has taken more money from lobbyists than any other member of Congress this election cycle as he seeks to fend off a challenge from Republican State Auditor Matt Rosendale.
00:16:14.000Yeah, and that's well said, Blake, is that as the parties have become more ideologically coherent, Tim Sheehy is then a rubber stamp for the Democrat Party.
00:16:22.000And the people of Montana must understand that.
00:16:31.000So John Tester, being the rubber stamp for the Democrat Party, understand the values of the Democrat Party then are what's actually on the ballot.
00:16:41.000Okay, we're going to now tackle in this rapid news hour, dock workers, Israel, and the JD debate.
00:16:50.000If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.
00:18:14.000They have at least, you know, 9 to 10 victims, but you can already see footage online that shows, you know, victims lying motionless on the platform.
00:18:23.000So I think it's very clear there will be a death toll from this.
00:18:26.000One of the craziest things though is stuff is so Heated in the Middle East right now that on Haaretz, at least, it's not the lead story yet.
00:18:33.000The lead story is still stuff happening on the border with Lebanon, the possible war with Iran.
00:18:39.000So, you know, we talked about this several months ago that this, the heat, the heat in the Middle East could be a big factor in the election, a sort of October surprise.
00:18:48.000And it does seem like that is heating up at the exact moment.
00:18:51.000It could have a real impact on the race.
00:18:54.000And there's some breaking reports we're waiting to see that the Israeli army says missiles launched from Iran into Israel.
00:19:02.000So, just to be clear, when they say missiles, that doesn't necessarily mean nuclear weapons.
00:19:07.000I don't think we believe Iran has nuclear weapons yet, though I feel like I've been hearing they're five months away from one for my entire life.
00:19:15.000But when they say ballistic missiles, it means long-range missile that is operate on a ballistic trajectory.
00:19:22.000So they shoot it up into the atmosphere and it arcs and it comes down.
00:19:25.000So that can still be a very powerful conventional missile of various kinds.
00:19:30.000Ballistic missiles are very difficult stuff.
00:19:33.000I don't know that the Iron Dome is really capable of taking those out.
00:19:37.000I might be wrong on this one, but obviously those usually are taken out.
00:19:41.000Rockets, you know, point at it, shoot it in a straight line.
00:19:45.000They were able to shoot down a lot of those missiles they fired last May or June.
00:20:25.000When there's a big conflict going on, a lot of things are happening at once, and you'll see the linkages that will turn out to not be true.
00:20:32.000There'll be things that seem unrelated that turn out to be very related, and it will take years to unpack everything.
00:20:38.000And right now, just last week, Israel took out the head of Hezbollah.
00:20:42.000That was a very big escalation that was in response to, of course, Hezbollah also escalating against them.
00:20:48.000It is, and Israel is also potentially planning a serious land incursion into southern Lebanon, because that's where Hezbollah is.
00:20:57.000Hezbollah, of course, is a proxy of Iran.
00:21:00.000There's an awful lot going on here, and I don't want to race out ahead and say what the US should do, or what it means for everyone here.
00:21:10.000What we can say is this is another conflict that was not going in a bad way when Donald Trump was president.
00:21:19.000This is another major crisis that has flared up, and right now we basically don't have a president.
00:21:26.000He doesn't seem aware of what's going on.
00:25:14.000And Harris was a part of that administration.
00:25:17.000She was part of that decision-making process.
00:25:19.000Or if she was left out, it means even as everything was going totally to hell, they still couldn't find any use for Kamala in all of this.
00:25:28.000Yes, and so understand that the Biden-Harris regime has indirectly subsidized both sides, which we've been sending money to Iran and relieving sanctions there.
00:25:37.000We enriched Iran to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, and now they send them back.
00:25:42.000So according to live reports here, as it's happening, the missiles are being intercepted over Israel, it seems, but I can't imagine they'll intercept all of them.
00:25:52.000It seems as if, again, we are just doing this in real time.
00:25:55.000Yeah, I mean, a big enough ballistic strike, it's, you know, they come in at thousands of miles an hour because they're coming in from the atmosphere.
00:27:12.000And whereas in contrast with Trump, we already suspected this.
00:27:15.000And then over the summer, someone shot him and he maintained his composure.
00:27:20.000He maintained his composure literally under fire when it seemed like he might die.
00:27:25.000And that is a proof of effectiveness that you very rarely get with a politician.
00:27:32.000And I think if we're able to drive this home tonight and emphasize Donald Trump is the guy who was cool under fire, who maintained control of a very tough situation, who didn't let this spiral out of control.
00:27:43.000Biden and Harris are the ones who, they can't keep a lid on the Middle East.
00:27:46.000They can't keep a lid on Eastern Europe.
00:31:10.000They've sometimes lobbed a lot of them.
00:31:12.000I know, but I only say that, I mean, I want to make sure I don't over-exaggerate.
00:31:15.000It really depends on the type, because there's a lot of rockets that do very little damage, but I mean, Iran can fire a big missile that can actually hit something notable, kill people.
00:31:25.000A lot of rockets are, they are fairly weak, fortunately, or they're not easy to aim or they can get shot down.
00:31:32.000So there's a big scale from like tiny little rocket that won't kill anything to big rocket that could kill hundreds of people with one explosion.
00:32:07.000They're the union for East Coast longshoremen.
00:32:10.000Longshoremen, of course, are guys who load and unload cargo ships and ports.
00:32:14.000So the West Coast guys, the guys unloading ships from Asia, in Los Angeles, San Francisco, those guys are not in this union.
00:32:21.000This is East Coast, so Texas, Maine, all the East Coast ports.
00:32:27.000They went on strike today, and over a long-running labor dispute with kind of this Unified collection of all the companies that you know handle shipping on the East Coast they're demanding Quite a lot because apparently they have turned down a 50% pay increase and a lot of them Already make six-figure income.
00:32:47.000So this is a they're making pretty heavy demands, but but hold on one second the East Coast Where are they getting imports from them?
00:32:53.000That would be, I mean, ships coming in from Europe, of course.
00:32:56.000So these are a lot of luxury goods, then.
00:32:57.000I mean, we're not... It's a lot... I don't want to say it's any singular thing.
00:33:03.000If it was West Coast, a lot of textiles, a lot of technology.
00:33:07.000We're not importing that from Europe, though, right?
00:33:09.000But you still get a lot of stuff on the East Coast, and even stuff... I mean, there's probably still stuff from Asia that ends up going there, because it might end up going to plants on the East Coast.
00:34:43.000And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share!
