Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:54.320
Gee, is there anything we should be talking about?
00:03:10.560
It's not too much of a stretch to assume that if you have a dog, you probably also like your dog.
00:03:18.620
So, you should be feeding him or her the best stuff that you can possibly do.
00:03:26.380
If you're buying kibble food, that's fine as long as you put a supplement on it so they get the nutrition that they really need, the antibiotics, the probiotics.
00:03:41.300
And the folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love Rough Greens.
00:03:54.720
Dr. Dennis Black has created Meow Greens for your cats.
00:04:07.380
You want to get your cat as healthy as you can.
00:04:10.300
So, when the Haitian immigrants are looking for something, you can get a better price for your cat.
00:04:19.500
I don't think that's necessarily the purpose of the product.
00:04:22.920
Fatten the cats up so the Haitians have something to eat?
00:04:30.460
I don't think there's such a thing as a happy cat.
00:04:34.620
Anyway, you want your cat happy, all you have to do is get Meow Greens for cats now.
00:04:40.680
There's a free Jumpstart trial bag as well for your cat.
00:04:44.240
For your free Rough Greens or Meow Greens, Jumpstart trial bag.
00:04:48.480
All you have to do is go to roughgreens.com slash back.
00:05:17.000
I don't think it can live up to the standards of the last one.
00:05:25.180
Well, as long as it doesn't happen in the opposite direction.
00:05:30.280
But there is a chance that either one of them could just step on a landmine.
00:05:46.920
Because it's American politics and the stakes are so high.
00:05:56.300
I don't know if we're there for the same reasons.
00:06:04.780
Your concern is not Kamala Harris is an amazing debater.
00:06:09.040
No, it's just that, you know, she's going to be doing everything she can just to get under his skin.
00:06:15.380
I mean, that is literally the plan is to get under his skin, make him angry so he says something.
00:06:24.540
And, you know, I just hope that he is as good as he was on the last debate.
00:06:33.500
As far as knowing what the situation is and knowing what's going on.
00:06:38.380
Like, it is, a lot of it is about awareness in that moment and that is probably what Trump is best at in these debates.
00:06:46.080
Like, you think back to the, well, you'd be in jail, that moment with Hillary Clinton.
00:06:51.200
Like, that was him just picking apart the conversation in the moment.
00:06:55.460
He's obviously not as skilled at going after policy details.
00:07:13.240
Like, him trying to recite parts of healthcare laws is not a good approach for Donald Trump.
00:07:28.840
The only thing she's going to try to do, I think, in this debate is to make Donald Trump, you know, lure him into either some sort of quote unquote sexist, quote unquote racist moment that she can exploit.
00:07:43.820
I mean, you go back to that Mike Pence debate where she said, excuse me, Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
00:07:54.200
The problem is the words that are coming out of your mouth.
00:07:58.280
If you were saying true things, you wouldn't need to be interrupted.
00:08:02.660
But that is the type of moment that they're going to try to get out of this.
00:08:05.360
And to be clear, the media is going to try to magnify that into something that it's not.
00:08:16.160
I'm trying to let me see if I can find it real quick.
00:08:18.500
So ABC is absolutely the most biased out of all of them.
00:08:52.700
CBS was actually the most fair and balanced out of the three.
00:09:09.600
Is the anchor ever giving the benefit of the doubt?
00:09:18.940
On Kamala Harris, it was 100% positive coverage.
00:09:49.200
No, but I'm saying, for fairness, the best one was 71% positive.
00:10:17.040
Now, Trump's negative coverage, 77% on CBS, 86% on ABC.
00:10:42.800
With this environment, how do you lose elections?
00:10:55.260
I mean, they've always gotten stories wrong, and they're like, well, yeah, that's not the
00:11:02.560
That's the way it used to be, and then some lies.
00:11:09.000
If I hear that very fine people thing one more time.
00:11:17.280
Did you see the one that they tried on J.D. Vance?
00:11:20.960
Where they're like, J.D. Vance, quote, shootings are just a fact of life.
00:11:31.620
In context, he made a big deal about how horrible this was.
00:11:39.400
And he said, unfortunately, and I don't like this, shootings have become part of life.
00:11:50.220
But if you take all the context out and just say fact of life, it looks like you're just
00:11:53.460
this jerk who wants people to die and doesn't try to hide.
00:12:01.380
Let's build all schools near a mountain so they have high ground for all the assassins.
00:12:09.040
And it's like, they all know what they're doing.
00:12:11.280
And this is the Donald Trump, we're going to have a bloodbath, dot, dot, dot in the economy.
00:12:20.320
I mean, this is stuff that is, they all know what they're doing here.
00:12:26.240
It's not like, oh, this was taken out of context.
00:12:28.340
They are intentionally trying to sink his campaign because they hate him.
00:12:32.680
And I don't know that they love Kamala Harris, honestly.
00:12:37.640
Well, that quote really originated with the Associated Press.
00:12:41.780
And I don't know if you saw this, but the Babylon Bee has put a list together of all the things
00:12:49.220
that the AP has said in the past, and they still stand by it.
00:12:53.900
You know, for instance, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, according to, according to the AP, the only
00:13:18.600
You miss 100% of the shots you dot, dot, dot, take.
00:13:23.900
So you shouldn't even try, is what he's saying.
00:13:27.120
I can't believe he came out and said it, but as reported by the AP, I am literally, dot,
00:13:37.140
So he's not even saying he, like, endorses the policies of Hitler.
00:13:41.440
And let me tell you, John F. Kennedy is practically Kamala Harris.
00:13:56.540
I have a dream that one day, dot, dot, dot, little boys will be, dot, dot, dot, little
00:14:09.880
And then, of course, you know, you want to talk about weird.
00:14:17.160
That men are, dot, dot, dot, endowed, dot, dot, dot, well.
00:14:22.560
I thought that was Abraham Lincoln they were talking about with those things.
00:14:46.140
You know, what they're doing is they're changing history in real time.
00:14:55.940
They really, truly believe that Hitler was right when he said, you say a lie long enough, loud enough, people will begin to believe it's the truth.
00:15:07.960
I mean, there's no other reason to keep saying very fine people other than.
00:15:16.540
And they might think that, you know, secretly it's what he really believes.
00:15:21.140
They might really, they may actually apply those things to him.
00:15:24.620
I think they hate him enough to maybe believe that.
00:15:27.180
You know, I was going to say, you know why they believe that?
00:15:29.600
Not based on any fact, but just what they think.
00:15:36.000
You know, what kind of people do they hang around all the time?
00:15:45.440
Maybe it's because they're surrounded by all the most awful people that have ever existed.
00:15:50.000
And their experience tells them that everybody on earth is a scumbag.
00:16:06.860
Not a lot of, not a lot of home runs there on the people front.
00:16:15.620
That's an interesting way to describe multiple cities.
00:16:25.540
I mean, one minute you're just going about your regular day and the next minute there's some kind of natural disaster or the government screws something up or creates a man-made disaster.
00:16:41.180
And there's not really any getting around that.
00:16:43.140
That's why there is emergency food from my Patriot supply.
00:16:47.260
May I recommend their four-week emergency food kit?
00:16:50.020
It's got everything your family needs during a crisis, over 2,000 calories a day, delicious food, does not include cats.
00:17:01.240
I mean, Haitians, don't take the government money, our tax dollars, and buy my Patriot supply.
00:17:10.140

00:17:53.620
So vibes and joy hasn't worked out real well for Kamala.
00:18:01.880
She's back in the race after they had no chance at all of winning.
00:18:05.760
Just say vibes and joy over and over again, and you're back to a tie?
00:18:16.980
Sarah's looking at me just shaking her head like, absolutely.
00:18:22.280
Well, anyway, so her plan is tonight, just say as many times as possible, Trump is a felon.
00:18:38.000
She says it at every speech, and they just, like, it's at that point now where people start
00:18:43.260
clapping before she even gets through it, because she's just, it's like her catchphrase.
00:18:46.800
And I'm like, what do you mean, you know, what are you talking about?
00:19:02.580
Do we all know, do we all know that this case in New York was BS?
00:19:13.360
When I say all, and I'm referring to all American voters, they definitely don't know.
00:19:18.320
Because, of course, the media has not informed them of this fact.
00:19:21.140
And they haven't bothered to look on their own.
00:19:22.800
Right, and they're a little, and quite honestly, they're a little busy with maybe their third
00:19:26.400
job trying to get something that they can scrape together to go buy groceries or gas,
00:19:32.060
you know, fight off the illegal immigrants, you know, all of that stuff.
00:19:38.860
All the stuff that is just, you know, in everyday American life now.
00:19:44.740
They don't all know that, but that might be her.
00:19:47.120
I don't think he's going to have trouble with that attack, if that's what she's going.
00:19:50.040
I think, like, what she needs to do is try to goad him into saying something that is going to make him look like a heartless, sexist, racist.
00:20:02.860
And, you know, again, if he decides to say, well, actually, you're not as black as you say you are, I mean, she'll win.
00:20:10.160
I mean, if he goes down those roads, she's going to win.
00:20:12.120
She is not as incompetent as Biden, and that is a big, big line.
00:20:18.780
She will have some prepared stuff that she has not released.
00:20:24.320
And she's also just her main strategy is piss him off.
00:20:32.680
And she will have some lines specifically diagnosed to do that.
00:20:39.100
I am a bit, mildly, somewhat concerned on Trump's energy level.
00:20:47.760
You know, he is, he probably will be fine on this.
00:20:56.180
What I'm saying, and I'm serious about this, I am legitimately concerned about it because it's the reverse of last time.
00:21:01.960
Last time, everyone got to see two people on the stage.
00:21:04.340
One of them looked completely like he was going to fall asleep, and the other one looked fine.
00:21:08.280
But when you put someone who's 25 years younger, whatever she is, 23 years younger than he is, on stage, she looks younger than him.
00:21:22.260
And if, like, I watched his economic speech the other day.
00:21:27.180
Trump does not care about the teleprompter parts of these things.
00:21:33.180
And that's when he actually looks like he's engaged.
00:21:35.140
But, like, he did not look engaged at all in that speech.
00:21:53.180
Like, I hope he comes out with that full Trumpian energy.
00:21:57.900
I think his shooting has made him more thoughtful.
00:22:17.480
You know, and I don't think it's to open another hotel.
00:22:24.920
I read his, quote, low energy that the media seems to be all over as he's changed.
00:22:34.140
I've seen him several times in person since the shooting.
00:22:47.220
Uh, and I really, truly believe in the interactions that I've had, the seeing of him, the listening
00:22:59.380
So you think my, you can push aside my pessimism.
00:23:09.740
I think he's actually going to be better with her because of that.
00:23:24.480
You could achieve home security by having a shotgun toting cowboy ride a horse right
00:23:32.920
You could take your kids and say, circle the kids.
00:23:40.100
Except you'd have the horse hoofs clopping outside your window all night.

00:25:04.300
The screen with the, you're in the cowboy hat and the western outfit sitting on a horse.
00:25:25.880
He was, I mean, Imus, no, Glenn is actually in the midst of a streak here, which is pretty
00:25:41.340
Are you doing like, was that a pick or something?
00:25:52.640
I heard it too for a long time and I'm like, I give it a whirl.
00:25:56.000
What was the quote from, from Dennis Quaid in your interview?
00:26:13.900
I mean, you look like you actually were on that horse.
00:26:27.000
By the way, Stuart, are you changing your name to Charles anytime soon?
00:26:41.620
Well, he wasn't a current reference 20 years before he died.
00:26:44.640
I will tell you that I am going to start opening up the ranch for sick kids.
00:26:59.700
See, I say this to my wife, and she's like, that's not nice.
00:27:16.800
You need a lot of sick kids to build those fences.
00:27:28.320
I hope Donald Trump sticks to policy and tries to pin her down on what was the pivot point
00:27:35.900
You know, the question that you've asked for years.
00:27:41.040
You stand the opposite policy position on virtually everything you've ever outlined.
00:27:51.220
The only one she actually said was fracking, right?
00:27:53.200
She said she no longer supports the fracking ban.
00:28:00.460
There is one other thing, and that's the ban on plastic straws.
00:28:05.560
She apparently has announced she's no longer in favor of the plastic straws.
00:28:20.340
Because some of the stuff has come out on the website.
00:28:22.740
She did actually launch a policy page for the first time, which is interesting.
00:28:27.560
By the way, I wouldn't vote for anybody who wants paper straws.
00:28:39.400
If he was like, I want zero taxes, but I want paper straws.
00:28:56.480
It was legitimately a statistic that came from a child.
00:29:09.480
If you have ever used a paper straw, we celebrate it.
00:29:24.260
Because we had to change it because we're cutting down too many trees with too much plastic.
00:29:34.560
And I got to tell you, I don't care what your reason is.
00:29:37.200
I don't care if people in Florida are born with plastic straws shooting out of their eyes.
00:29:46.920
If each plastic straw we used killed a family member of mine, I still want them.
00:29:58.200
Has there ever been an American citizen that has gotten through one single drink with one
00:30:05.880
It's always two or three straws because they close up.
00:30:10.540
Anyone who would entertain this, it's like, it's disqualifying for you as a leader.
00:30:15.980
So here's what Donald Trump's challenge is tonight, and this apparently is his strategy,
00:30:22.760
is to hold her accountable for everything that is going on.
00:30:30.200
That is why, also, starting with our administration, we gave TPS, temporary protected status,
00:30:42.460
And then more recently, we extended temporary protected status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants
00:30:49.220
for that very reason, that they need support, they need protection.
00:30:52.500
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,
00:30:58.660
meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, Meow, meow, meow.
00:31:07.980
How about, hey, so you're very proud of the Haitian immigrant thing.
00:31:15.540
I wonder, that's the type of thing I could see her trying to get him going on.
00:31:23.100
Yeah, but there's no defense for you've got a town of 58,000 people where you dumped 20,000 immigrants into.
00:31:38.860
How is it that our government just thinks it's okay to take our towns and just change the makeup of it?
00:32:00.220
Chairman Brown, I'd like to ask unanimous consent to submit a letter for the record from the city of Springfield and our state, the southwestern part of our state,
00:32:07.920
which I think highlights a very real example of this particular concern straight from the horse's mouth itself.
00:32:14.720
Springfield has seen a surge in population through immigration that has significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough housing opportunities for all.
00:32:23.080
Springfield's Haitian population has increased 15,000 to 20,000 over the last four years in a community of under 60,000 previous residents, putting a significant strain on our resources and ability to provide ample housing for all of our residents.
00:32:39.920
In my conversations with folks in Springfield, it's not just housing.
00:32:44.280
They're trying to build 5,000 new housing units, which is a very Herculean task in a town of about 55,000 people.
00:32:54.180
It's there's a whole host of ways in which this immigration problem, I think, is having very real human consequences.
00:33:05.300
They've been dumping people into our communities in the middle of the night.
00:33:09.700
They've been flying them in in the middle of the night, dumping them into our communities, changing the culture.
00:33:21.360
I would be pissed off if in my town, what do you think we have in my town?
00:33:33.280
If they took and they added 30% Californians, I'd be pissed off.
00:33:40.220
Yeah, it changes the political makeup of your area.
00:33:46.100
And, you know, for people who grew up in Springfield, I liked my town.
00:33:53.460
And two, I think even if you added that percentage of people of any sort to a town of that size, it would be dramatic, right?
00:34:00.860
And those numbers are, I mean, reading the media coverage on it, they act like all of this is a lie.
00:34:07.140
Like, and there was that video that was put out there.
00:34:11.580
I mean, they just keep saying it's just racism.
00:34:15.440
They came, but like, they're just, you know, they're lying about these cultural changes.
00:34:19.520
I don't care if they're from New York and they're all white people.
00:34:31.940
Anybody who is culturally different and right now the blue, just the blue and red, you take, would you be fine, New York, if all of a sudden the government just, I mean, we wouldn't do it.
00:34:46.920
It would be a civil war, but they started just importing into your city in, you know, New York City, 30% Texan.
00:35:14.960
We don't agree on what the culture should be like.
00:35:20.560
And my problem is, is these people just didn't find their way.
00:35:24.260
It's not like, you know, where do we want to live?
00:35:29.200
The federal government just dumped these people off into a city.
00:35:40.300
Remember Michelle Bachman, this is almost 20 years ago, saying they're just, the State
00:35:45.100
Department is just importing all these Somalis into Minnesota.
00:36:07.420
Got some proof here with this video of neighbors calling out this woman for, well, eating a
00:36:35.600
We pulled up and she was just laying there with me.
00:36:42.600
Can you call the Humane Society to see if they'll come pick those cats up?
00:36:54.020
Well, I would guess it was a cultural difference.
00:37:02.960
Now, it does seem that, at least the reporting on this, is that it was a real incident.
00:37:16.040
So, I don't know that that necessarily makes this all that much better.
00:37:18.980
Because I don't want to, you know, I think the cat memes they're going around, I think
00:37:25.080
that's just a response to, you're importing people who, for instance, Somalis will come
00:37:32.900
in and they stand on the toilet seat and take a crap squatting.
00:37:37.560
Because that's the way they do it in their country.
00:37:40.020
And they did it so much, they had to put signs inside bathroom stalls, do not stand on toilet
00:37:54.760
But look, I mean, any, this is happening all over the place.
00:37:59.040
They're trying to make it into this racist thing.
00:38:00.660
We played, what, 20 clips yesterday of African Americans standing up and yelling at their
00:38:14.760
If you need more proof that we're a long way from solving the abortion problem in this
00:38:20.320
One of the front runners for president of the United States is a person who is willing
00:38:25.340
to put those peacefully protesting abortion in jail for 10 years.
00:38:31.680
They have dug up an old 1870s anti-KKK law, and they're using that, the anti-KKK law, against
00:38:42.740
these peaceful protesters who are just praying.
00:38:45.360
We have a long way to go, but pre-born is the country's largest pro-life organization,
00:38:57.000
When a mom sees her unborn child on a monitor with an ultrasound, she hears the heartbeat.
00:39:04.520
She's twice as likely to consider choosing life for a baby.
00:39:07.500
And then, when there's sincere love and caring that is given to the mom and saying, look, we
00:39:14.100
know you probably feel alone, you probably don't have the resources, we will help you
00:39:20.340
All gifts are tax-deductible, would help defend the defenseless.
00:39:27.740
Let us be people of merit, that our actions bring favor from the eyes of God on us.
00:39:34.500
One ultrasound is $28, five ultrasounds cost $140.
00:39:39.020
$5,000 will sponsor the ultrasounds for Preborn's network for a full day.

You know, it feels like one of those things where, you know, look, it's Kamala Harris.
00:42:24.240
And there is nothing more infuriating than someone who lies and lies to your face about you.
00:42:40.140
But when Kamala Harris, she knows what the truth is.
00:42:53.120
And for him to sit there after what he's gone through and what his family has gone through,
00:42:58.880
and for her to perpetuate that lie to his face, I don't know if I could handle it.
00:43:08.160
He's a stronger man than me because I don't think I could handle it.
00:43:23.420
Like, she realizes, I'm going to go in with this lie, and this is how I'm going to utilize it.
00:43:33.260
But he was very, very disciplined against Joe Biden.
00:43:47.340
I mean, because we don't have enough problems in the world.
00:43:49.880
You know, everything is dissolving in front of our eyes.
00:43:55.620
It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
00:43:57.880
And criminals can just find a way to take your home from you,
00:44:00.600
or at least steal a bunch of money using your home's equity to get it.
00:44:04.500
And that is why it is such a goal for these hackers.
00:44:10.900
Like, they can go after your credit card and get maybe a couple thousand dollars.
00:44:18.920
Well, you need to have home title protection from HomeTitleLock.com.

00:47:14.840
She's just written an article for Blaze, theblaze.com.
00:47:19.700
Kamala Harris is pro-worker, like McDonald's is pro-cow.
00:47:31.580
So what are you thinking about the debate today?
00:47:34.420
Uh, and what, uh, Donald Trump needs to do because he's going to be in there fighting really by himself.
00:47:47.320
I don't think they're going to, you know, necessarily be helpers on holding her feet to the fire.
00:47:53.360
Oh, you mean the, uh, the media outlet that has 100% pro-Kamala Harris stories is not going to turn around and be a fair debate moderator?
00:48:05.600
I, I see Kamala Harris coming out as new and improved Kamala Harris.
00:48:11.520
Now with more joy, because it's the only thing that she can hang her hat on, right?
00:48:17.700
She is going to sit and gaslight the American public and pretend that she was not part of the Biden-Harris administration,
00:48:25.860
that she was not the tie-breaking vote on all of this critical legislation, which has raised inflation, created massive deficits,
00:48:35.480
and really decimated the middle and working class.
00:48:39.200
She's going to try to, to present herself as something completely different.
00:48:44.320
I think what Donald Trump needs to do, and this is going to be very difficult for him because when,
00:48:50.200
when somebody hangs a softball out there, he likes to, he likes to hit the pitch, but he needs to stay away from the ad hominem attacks.
00:48:58.320
He needs to not take the bait because she is going to be baiting him back and forth.
00:49:02.980
And he needs to stay focused on the economy, on the border, on the U.S.'s standing in the world and simply hold her feet to the fire for the policies that she has been responsible for
00:49:16.240
and contrast that to the pre-COVID three-plus years that we had Donald Trump as president and what everybody's life was like.
00:49:26.960
Okay, but Carol, she does have some things she can boast about.
00:49:34.420
She claims a record of 19 million small business applications were received under their leadership.
00:49:46.840
Okay, so this is, I think most people know who listen to me on your program that I'm one of the world's leading experts on small business.
00:49:59.600
I heard this thing, this small business applications, and I went around to every group that I know and I said,
00:50:10.500
Because when I started my business, I didn't have to apply at the federal level.
00:50:15.620
Certainly, I had an LLC, so I registered that with the state.
00:50:23.220
Because we have 33-plus million small businesses, but that only grows on net less than a million a year.
00:50:32.460
So how is it possible that we have 19 million new application starts?
00:50:39.280
And so far, no one's really been able to give me an answer.
00:50:41.920
I have one committee, you know, related to the House Small Business Committee who thinks that maybe there's some information that came from the state census data.
00:50:51.640
But I asked them, they're actually having a committee hearing, and I asked them if they could ask the SBA administrator and put her on the hot seat,
00:50:59.760
because they're running around touting these made-up statistics that sound like they're some champion of small business.
00:51:05.240
At the same time, Glenn, NFIB came out with their Small Business Optimism Index today.
00:51:12.960
The 32nd consecutive month that small business optimism has been below the historical average, and that's a 50-year average.
00:51:23.100
Well, that's because they fear Donald Trump is coming back.
00:51:33.360
I mean, it's crazy, because I see this number, you know, of 19 million small businesses, and I'm like,
00:51:42.160
I thought that was just because of all the businesses that they had put out of business, they're, like, starting up new businesses.
00:51:50.200
So, I just thought they were taking credit, like they do with all the job creation.
00:52:02.860
So, of course, there were people going back to work.
00:52:12.600
Yeah, I mean, it's something, but nobody knows really what it means.
00:52:16.860
It certainly is not a proxy for new small businesses created, which is what they're intimating.
00:52:23.240
And we know the number of small businesses, you know, a year ago was 32-point-something million, and then it climbed to 33-point-something million.
00:52:33.500
Unless they're killing 18 million small businesses a year, which, you know, we know that they're certainly trying, but I don't think that they've succeeded in doing that yet, that this is an absolute, you know, it's just, you know, spouting off nonsense.
00:52:49.500
And they're doing this, you know, again and again to gaslight people into things are so great.
00:52:57.580
But at the same time, she's coming out and she's tweeting about anti-small business policies, like the PRO Act that she said that she's going to put in place, which for people who don't know, that is the anti-gig worker and anti-independent contractor language from California's AB5 taken nationally.
00:53:15.460
And they want to kill the gig economy and all the small businesses that depend on independent contractors in favor of unions and big business.
00:53:24.400
So it's very difficult to say, I am the small business, I am the worker candidate, and still be in favor of these things, which is why I equate it to being like McDonald's being pro-couse.
00:53:36.180
You know, it is, as a small business owner myself, I look at tomorrow and think if they get in, the regulations, just the regulations alone that are still sitting out there that they want to impose, will just crush small businesses.
00:53:57.900
These guys, you know, they used to say that, well, the Republicans are in with big business.
00:54:05.260
Well, they were also in with small business, too.
00:54:13.640
They are only in with the giant global corporations.
00:54:19.840
And it is honestly like they are trying to impoverish the small business and impoverish the middle class without moving any of the middle class up.
00:54:35.400
Yeah, I'm glad that you brought up regulations because, as I mentioned, there's this House committee meeting right now.
00:54:41.960
And they came out with a report earlier this year that the Biden-Harris agenda imposed $1.7 trillion in regulations on small businesses.
00:54:52.600
And that was before we've had some of these pending regulations go into place.
00:55:00.900
And that is millions upon millions of hours that are wasted.
00:55:09.400
You know, we keep hearing this ridiculous phrase, the opportunity economy.
00:55:14.160
Well, if you want to create opportunity, you reduce barriers or you reduce regulations, you reduce taxes, you reduce the government being up in your business.
00:55:24.280
And you have the government mind their own business so that you can go off and work in your business.
00:55:31.680
I know that our audience is heavy on entrepreneurs and people who have done business for a long time.
00:55:40.860
But there's also a younger generation that listens.
00:55:51.620
They hurt opportunity because, number one, they're costly.
00:55:56.980
Two, you're spending time complying with the regulation instead of spending the time working and growing your business.
00:56:04.400
And the challenge is that if you are a big company, if you're the Amazons of the world, if you're the Walmarts of the world, you have not only a whole balance sheet to deal with this, but you have a whole host of people in your company, whether it's HR or whether it's some other administrative function that can deal with these regulations.
00:56:26.640
When it comes to small business, the majority, greater majority of small businesses, it's just the entrepreneur.
00:56:33.940
So it's one person already wearing all of those hats trying to deal with this.
00:56:38.200
Even if you have some employees, you don't have the wherewithal, the ability or struggling enough to deal with inflation, finding the right workers, remaining competitive, dealing with cybersecurity and the like.
00:56:51.700
You don't have time and you don't have bandwidth and you don't have capital to deal with these regulations.
00:56:59.060
And some of them are so onerous that people want to close their business.
00:57:03.920
Something that we've been talking about, Glenn, for months now that the Corporate Transparency Act, which is this registration with the Financial Crimes Division of the Treasury.
00:57:13.880
I've had hundreds upon hundreds of small business owners and people looking to start small businesses saying that they don't want to, they want to close their business, they don't want to start because they don't want to deal with the asymmetrical risk of having their information exposed or the government coming after them for doing something wrong.
00:57:33.040
So because the government is imposing this regulation, which, by the way, is still in flux, it's preventing these entrepreneurs from taking those risks and creating opportunity, which creates jobs, which creates more dollars in their community, which grows the economy, which is what we need to move ourselves forward.
00:57:54.060
This is so obvious, but all they want to do is take away wealth, create barriers, redistribute it, and make it very, very challenging for a small business owner to succeed.
00:58:06.380
You, I think it was you, Carol, said, oh, maybe six months ago we were talking and you said, Glenn, most of the stuff that they've done doesn't really kick in until 2025.
00:58:18.620
So we haven't felt the full impact of Bidenomics yet.
00:58:29.260
So what is it that is coming still that we haven't felt?
00:58:33.440
Describe next year just as it stands without any new policies, if we just continued where we are.
00:58:43.580
Well, as I said, the House Small Business Committee is doing a markup on seven different pieces of legislation trying to overturn all of these stringent rules for small business.
00:58:58.600
This Corporate Transparency Act, we have until the end of the year for that to go into effect.
00:59:04.860
If there's no delay, which, by the way, there's two delay bills and two repeal bills and seven lawsuits.
00:59:11.580
If we don't get that done by the end of the year, then people are going to be faced with compliance.
00:59:16.560
And then on top of that, you know, we have the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
00:59:22.240
You know, large pieces of that is expiring and changing the way that small businesses have to look at their taxes and figure out, you know, what makes sense for them from an administrative standpoint.
00:59:34.220
So, you know, and that's, again, just scratching the surface.
00:59:38.840
So, you know, one after another, there are things in the pipeline.
00:59:43.920
And then if Kamala Harris were to become president again, day one, they are going to try to rule by executive order.
00:59:51.560
I mean, one of the other things that this Department of Labor rule, their anti-independent contract rule that went into effect in March.
01:00:04.860
But if they start to crack down on that, you know, that's something that could kill, you know, all of small business across across the board.
01:00:16.260
And it's challenging enough to own your own business, as you well know, as a small business owner, to not constantly have to be worried about what's the next shoe that's going to drop coming from your own government.
01:00:31.040
I'm going to take a one-minute break, and then I'd like you to come back and talk about they're talking about a 50 basis point drop in the, you know, interest rate for loans.
01:00:47.620
Some people say that could collapse everything.
01:00:51.680
Can you explain if that's a good thing or a bad thing at this point?
01:00:58.460
First, let me tell you about American financing.
01:01:04.180
APR for rates in the 5 starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:01:07.960
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:01:11.620
Okay, things could get worse, and they probably will be, but things could also get better, especially if you plan correctly.
01:01:18.620
I want you to imagine what it would be like to be out of debt, especially high-interest debt.
01:01:25.060
I've been telling you about American financing for years, and I still believe they can change your life with a free financial review.
01:01:31.620
They can lay out a list of options that will save you a ton of money.
01:01:35.640
The average listener of mine is saving now $826 or $30 every single month.
01:01:45.040
There's never any pressure, no upfront or hidden fees.
01:01:50.900
And for over two decades, American financing has been helping people like you get to where they want to be.
01:01:59.340
You might be surprised at the options you didn't even know you had.
01:02:02.620
Call them now, American Financing, at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
01:02:24.920
Tonight, the debate is going on, and we have live coverage on BlazeTV.com slash debate.
01:02:31.000
The code is DEBATE, and it's our biggest, I think, savings ever.
01:02:35.740
So it's $40 off your annual subscription to BlazeTV.
01:02:39.660
Take advantage of it now, because I'm sure this won't last long.
01:02:45.040
We have coverage going on well into the late evening.
01:02:49.680
I'm going to be doing some additional coverage on YouTube.com slash tutosamerica if you want to join us after that.
01:02:55.020
And that begins at 8 o'clock Eastern, or is that the debate?
01:03:06.780
You'll have the debate, and then we'll have post-coverage afterward.
01:03:10.200
And I'll be there, and everybody is going to be there, all hands on deck tonight.
01:03:25.740
So we're just taking their feed and letting that run.
01:03:31.160
No comment during it, and then lots of comments after to tell you what it all means.
01:03:39.460
So tell me about the options the Fed has now, what's happened with employment, why they might
01:03:47.320
be dropping the interest rate, and is it a good thing or a bad thing?
01:03:52.580
Well, so I have always contended that the Fed didn't have the right tools to address inflation,
01:04:00.640
that inflation was coming from supply constraints, not demand, that the Fed really focuses on demand,
01:04:07.800
and after 15 years of zero interest rate policy, that it wasn't really them that changed much
01:04:14.160
of what was going on in terms of demand for new loans, et cetera.
01:04:18.600
But they have taken up the interest rate very high, and a lot of people in the market, a lot
01:04:24.420
of investors feel like they are behind the curve in terms of normalizing policy because
01:04:29.960
they don't want to keep it so restrictive that they cause a recession.
01:04:37.800
So now that inflation has come down on a headline number, we know cumulatively it's up over 20%,
01:04:48.440
But from a policy standpoint, they see that inflation is coming down, and they see that
01:04:53.560
the labor market isn't quite as robust as they had hoped.
01:04:57.880
And so they're trying to address policy to quash any recessionary outcomes.
01:05:08.140
They could do nothing, as they have done for a while.
01:05:13.440
And now they're deciding between a half a percent and a quarter of a percent.
01:05:17.760
A half a percent may be bad news for them because it may give the market a signal that things
01:05:25.360
So I think that they're going to be a little bit more cautious and go for that 25 basis point or quarter of a percent cut.
01:05:34.420
So you don't think that it will, unless it's 50 basis points, you don't think that it will be a bad thing
01:05:42.600
other than signaling that things might be worse than they thought.
01:05:48.220
And it's a much bigger signal at 50 than it is at 25, given where we stand with all the data.
01:05:57.940
And I'm not sure that anybody will want to open up the purse strings at this point.
01:06:03.440
I think everybody is waiting to see what's going to happen, you know, with the presidential election.
01:06:11.780
I mean, because we're going one way or the other, and they're in opposite directions.
01:06:17.100
So it's kind of a scary place to be as an investor or a small business person or just, you know,
01:06:41.600
I want to tell you about a U.S. Navy special warfare operator, first class.
01:06:49.780
This is an American hero that enlisted in the Navy, later graduated from SEAL training.
01:06:56.240
Tragically, at the age of 37, he was killed in the line of duty while conducting a nighttime raid on a ship belonging to the Houthi forces in Yemen.
01:07:07.920
I mean, just this last year or two that we were fighting with the Houthis in Yemen?
01:07:14.120
Tunnel to Towers Foundation immediately stepped up to the plate for Christopher's wife and young daughter, providing them with mortgage-free home, because that's what they do.
01:07:23.000
They help America's heroes' families when the American heroes are gone.
01:07:28.520
They make sure that they don't just lose a mom or a dad.
01:07:35.760
They don't lose all of the stability in the family because that breadwinner isn't there anymore.
01:07:41.180
Tunnel to Towers fighting against homelessness and fighting for our heroes every day.
01:07:45.820
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers, T2T.org.
01:08:11.980
Tonight, big night for America, and you're going to be able to watch it with your friends at the Blaze.
01:08:28.260
This is the biggest deal I think they've ever done, so take advantage of it.
01:08:33.760
I like it when you host because then all the pressure's off.
01:08:37.040
And I could just pay attention to what is happening, and then it's not my show I don't have to worry about.
01:08:52.860
This sounds a lot worse than what I was thinking this morning.
01:08:55.640
Well, so it's going to be great coverage tonight, and we're offering $40 off your yearly subscription.
01:09:03.660
That is the biggest discount we have ever offered, and we would just love to have you as part of our family.
01:09:16.440
This is during last week's episode from my Wednesday night special.
01:09:28.820
Around 70 countries, near half of the global population, are now voting this year.
01:09:35.520
And there are two big questions that the global population are just not allowed to ask about or talk about.
01:09:47.560
The most people in history are voting this year.
01:09:50.860
And throughout that, we're not allowed to question the sanctity and the safety of our elections.
01:09:56.780
And we're silenced on probably the biggest question in front of us, immigration.
01:10:07.460
Mark Zuckerberg finally admitted what you and I have known all along.
01:10:11.580
Facebook did censor us on behalf of the United States government.
01:10:17.160
Well, that's great that he finally actually said it.
01:10:20.580
But what about all those who lost livelihoods or our voices during the great thought purge by big tech?
01:10:31.860
You see, what I told you about a global government that is coming is here.
01:10:41.060
France has arrested the CEO of Telegram, charging him with 12 crimes.
01:10:46.880
Telegram is one of the main apps that protesters use to coordinate their demonstrations.
01:10:51.580
And governments, well, they don't like this, including apparently our own.
01:11:02.340
But remember, the left and the White House said that was a conspiracy theory.
01:11:12.320
YouTube, which is run by Google, our episodes usually average first day 100K, 100,000 people.
01:11:28.460
Well, it flatlined this last episode where I said we're going to be censored because we're questioning both the election and immigration.
01:11:45.360
I don't know what it is now, but the growth is incredibly slow on this.
01:11:56.560
We know it was because the click-through rate through analysis, people are clicking on it.
01:12:02.240
If they find it, they're clicking on it, and they're watching.
01:12:09.320
They control what gets pushed through in the algorithms.
01:12:13.960
OK, they are controlling what you're allowed to see.
01:12:17.760
You need to get away from your other sources of media.
01:12:29.440
We bring you, you know, the voices that you want to hear, and we will have the coverage that you won't get elsewhere.
01:12:35.740
And no one controls us, but they do control you and the coverage that you are getting.
01:12:42.200
So join us, again, the biggest special we have ever offered.
01:12:53.080
All right, so let me tell you what is really happening in America.
01:12:58.000
Let me, I'm going to start, I'm going to start with cut eight.
01:13:23.880
This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.
01:13:29.900
Okay, so this was her after the Afghanistan withdrawal.
01:13:38.640
So she's doing it on CNN with the same lady who she just gave her only interview to.
01:13:49.320
Now, Kamala is, through her handlers, is they're saying she had nothing to do with Afghanistan.
01:14:15.680
And eventually, they just say, yeah, that's it.
01:14:23.260
Now, remember, we had a Middle East peace accord, the Abrahamic accords.
01:14:39.840
And so when there was war that just broke out, why did that break out?
01:14:59.400
In fact, for some reason, our CIA came out and said, we're happy with the drones and the way they're being effectively used in Moscow to blow up buildings in Moscow.
01:15:16.800
Do you think she's the right woman to take us in and out of war?
01:15:21.960
Now, here she is in 2021 about Haitian migrants, which we're now having a problem with.
01:15:29.780
Cut to that is why also starting with our administration, we gave TPS, temporary protected status to Haitian migrants.
01:15:40.000
And then more recently, we extended temporary protected status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants for that very reason, that they need support.
01:15:59.240
What right does this government have to come in in the middle of the night and take a town of 50 or 60,000 and add 20,000 people that don't relate to our culture at all and just dump them there and then leave you the bill, leave you the problem of I can't get into the hospital now because it's overrun.
01:16:33.640
For the first time on her campaign website, a K-File investigation has uncovered, meantime, a 2019 questionnaire.
01:16:41.820
And in this questionnaire, Harris laid out some much more liberal stances, among them on immigration.
01:16:48.380
So in 2019, in what K-File found, she said she would cut funding to ICE, writing, quote,
01:16:53.800
Our immigrant detention system is out of control, and I believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families and children.
01:17:01.260
I was one of the first senators after President Trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to ICE.
01:17:08.620
Well, now, of course, she's touting the Biden administration's executive order to crack down on the border.
01:17:12.540
Let's just take immigration and look at what she said here.
01:17:15.660
She said on immigration, she made this open-ended pledge to end immigrant detention.
01:17:20.760
She said she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.
01:17:27.380
Taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.
01:17:31.720
She wrote, both wrote and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this.
01:17:36.640
And she said she also supported it for federal prisoners.
01:17:39.940
Now, she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50 percent, close all family and private facilities,
01:17:46.540
and decrease funding for ICE, and then end ICE detainers with local law enforcement.
01:17:55.480
You see, she was the first, once they were elected, to advocate for all of these things.
01:18:04.580
Now, she says she's strong on the border and shows in her ads pictures of the Trump border wall,
01:18:10.920
which she said was the biggest waste of taxpayer money ever.
01:18:16.120
So you know, whoever is running the White House is going to be running the White House if she's in charge.
01:18:25.880
Here's my Orcas on policies of deporting illegals this last Friday.
01:18:44.360
I didn't address the fundamental issue of whether that is good policy.
01:18:49.860
Do you want to say whether or not it's good policy?
01:19:03.620
I mean, I'm going to put a man on the moon and return him in the next decade.
01:19:10.060
We can't send people across the border with this administration.
01:19:14.560
Then you have the breakdown of our cities, not only because of immigration, but because of her policies and her desire to reimagine the cops.
01:19:37.040
Back in the old days, if you wanted to get the blinds in your homes replaced, the pushy salesperson would come to your house, basically move in until you agreed to pay way too much.
01:19:49.260
Then the internet happened and, uh, there was one company back in the nineties that said, let's start selling these online.
01:19:56.800
Can you imagine when you had buffering problems trying to do business online?
01:20:05.120
Blinds.com is now the largest online seller of window coverings.
01:20:10.460
I think in the world blinds.com, they have really amazing products to choose from.

01:20:58.000
Our opinions weighing you down, call in and let it out.
01:21:28.340
You know, there's a story out, a gift now to Donald Trump today.
01:21:33.000
They just rolled out Kamala Harris's policy page.
01:21:38.300
However, the New Republic, which is not conservative, to say the least, uh, they went in and they looked at the policy page and then looked at what it said.
01:21:53.580
And then somebody who knew what they were doing with coding went in and looked at the code on the page.
01:22:01.460
Literally, they found that the new policy page of the Kamala Harris website, which has been weeks and weeks and weeks in the making.
01:22:11.560
Finally, they came up with a policy page and they literally just copy and pasted it from Joe Biden's site.
01:22:19.380
They compared the code and it's exactly the same code.
01:22:26.220
But if you post, like, links to certain things, it shows up.
01:22:31.580
Because they didn't even bother to change the names in the code.
01:22:45.440
Somebody who was, this is not a priority, obviously, is copying and pasted.
01:22:50.540
So, when she says, we're turning the page on the past, all she's actually saying is, okay, we're done with page one.
01:23:09.820
Probably not the one who copy and pasted the policy page of the current president.
01:23:17.380
We have a country that is out of control economically.
01:23:26.860
Everything is in self-destruct mode at this point, including our police.
01:23:44.100
And so, in some cities, it's hard to get good guys to be cops anymore.
01:23:50.260
Because of Kamala Harris and people like her that wanted to completely change the policing.
01:24:13.460
No, because they opened the door and ran from me.
01:24:15.900
And now that I'm inside your house, I own your house right now.
01:25:00.060
When the police don't defend the Constitution, they work for us.
01:25:19.500
AI might be the most important new computer technology ever.
01:25:27.120
Literally billions of dollars are being invested.
01:25:31.000
The problem is, is that AI needs a lot of speed and processing power.
01:25:36.000
So how do you compete without the costs spiraling out of control?
01:25:39.920
Upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI.
01:25:46.600
OCI is a single platform for infrastructure, database, application development, all of it, and AI needs.
01:25:55.480
OCI has four to eight times the bandwidth of other clouds, offers one consistent price instead of a variable regional price.
01:26:03.780
And, of course, nobody does things better than Oracle.
01:26:07.640
If you'd like to do more and spend less like Uber 8x8 and Databricks Mosaic,
01:26:13.160
take a free test drive of OCI at oracle.com slash back.
01:26:22.960
We've got to stay together if we're going to survive.
01:26:52.140
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:27:25.380
Tonight is the debate, and we have brought in the best of the blaze.
01:27:37.420
She is the host of the Liz Wheeler Show and the author of Hide Your Children.
01:27:42.200
She's, we all know that Donald Trump has to concentrate and focus, focus, focus, man.
01:27:54.340
The things he has to do, the things that she is going to do that he should expect,
01:28:00.220
how he should handle abortion, border security, inflation, and so much more.
01:28:06.380
Liz is going to lay it all out for us in 60 seconds.
01:28:09.500
First, one thing I really like when you work with a company and you can be honest about
01:28:16.720
all of the stuff that they are behind the scenes, you know, out of work and also at work.
01:28:28.500
Every time, I mean literally it seems, every time I go on some sort of a speaking thing
01:28:34.740
or I'm usually speaking for a charity, these charities, many of them are just trying to
01:28:42.200
hold the Constitution together and every single time I see Glenn Story and his wife in the crowd
01:28:48.380
and they are a major donator to some of these causes that we all stand for.
01:29:01.240
It's America's only Christian and conservative mobile phone company
01:29:05.360
and it is the people that are actually giving you a better price.
01:29:12.120
The same exact coverage, better service, and like I said, they are working off the clock,
01:29:20.160
taking some of their profits and actually plowing it in to help save the Constitution.
01:29:26.440
So go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT for your free month of service today.
01:29:45.020
So I guess I'm going to start where Stu started with meat this morning.
01:29:57.780
It's a clown show, but it's also, it seems like a culmination of what we fight for every day.
01:30:03.080
We finally have two people that are representing polar opposite viewpoints for our country,
01:30:10.660
I think he can win, but I think one of the most important things that he has to do is
01:30:16.000
If you know your enemy, then you will be able to defeat them, and he has to be very self-aware
01:30:20.280
that Kamala Harris is going to try to be this girl boss, girl power.
01:30:26.000
She's going to try to provoke him emotionally, and he has to be able to let that roll off
01:30:30.780
So what do you mean she's going to be that girl boss, girl power?
01:30:34.380
Remember when she was debating Mike Pence during the last round, and she goes, excuse
01:30:40.160
Why do you think this time her team insisted that the mics be left open versus, remember
01:30:44.940
in the first debates between Trump and Biden, the mics were muted, so you could only speak
01:30:49.480
during your allotted time, otherwise no one would be able to hear you.
01:30:51.860
All of a sudden, she had agreed to this, and then last week her team says, actually, we
01:30:57.300
So that she can run these quote-unquote fact checks in real time.
01:31:01.100
She can say, you're lying, I'm speaking, and make it seem like he's this white patriarchal
01:31:05.600
male who's trying to be a bully to her as a woman of color.
01:31:09.440
I think if he handles this debate exactly the same way he handled it with Joe Biden, he's
01:31:18.840
Yes, he did very well with Joe Biden because he stayed, he was so disciplined about his
01:31:33.700
Her father was a Marxist, is a Marxist economics professor, and Donald Trump should highlight
01:31:41.880
She's been in the White House for four years now.
01:31:47.760
I don't know if you heard the news today, but her policy page is Joe Biden's policy page.
01:31:59.780
She's going to come out and pretend to be a prosecutor.
01:32:01.620
She's going to ask him pointed question after pointed question.
01:32:05.600
And you know what he should do if she calls him a felon?
01:32:10.740
He should say, Madam Vice President, do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling that the
01:32:14.580
vaccine mandate that came from the Biden-Harris administration was illegal?
01:32:18.380
And if she says that she agrees with the Supreme Court, then she is acknowledging that
01:32:21.480
she was a tyrant trying to violate all of our medical freedom.
01:32:24.100
And if she says, no, I think the Supreme Court was wrong, then she's saying she thinks
01:32:28.280
So when you want to talk about crime against people and a visceral response that people
01:32:32.520
are going to have to a crime committed against them, he should pivot to the topic that's
01:32:38.480
He's never going to change Kamala's mind on stage.
01:32:42.320
The point is to showcase to the American people what she is.
01:32:45.900
So, you know, you started with saying, and I've wanted this for a long time, if we're
01:32:51.160
going to talk about communism, we're going to talk about truly changing the economy, changing
01:32:58.140
the Constitution, all the things that the World Economic Forum has been doing, along with
01:33:03.880
a Biden-Harris thing, then let's have that conversation honestly, you know?
01:33:30.800
So all Trump has to do is remember one question.
01:33:32.840
Every time she makes an assertion, he should say, what does that mean?
01:33:38.440
But if she says, I'm going to be tough on the border, he should say, what does that
01:33:41.600
During the past four years, when you were in the White House and had control of this as
01:33:44.540
the border czar, which was acknowledged by the United States Congress after Biden appointed
01:33:47.960
you to that position, eight and a half billion illegal aliens crossed the border.
01:33:51.120
So when you say you're going to be tough on the border, is that your definition of tough
01:33:53.900
Or did you fail when you had a chance at this job?
01:33:55.800
She's going to say we have greatly stopped the flow of illegals.
01:34:01.280
I hope she does, because that'll turn people off, because people have Haitian migrants eating
01:34:06.200
ducks in their front yard in Springfield, Ohio.
01:34:08.440
They're not going to believe her when she says everything's hunky dory.
01:34:13.680
I said to Stu yesterday that I'm actually becoming more and more optimistic about this
01:34:23.060
The average person, I mean, if you're a stay-at-home mom, if you're a mom, you are worried about
01:34:30.860
your kids getting to and from school, even in California, where now the immigrants are
01:34:37.680
just staying at the bus stop, standing there with your kids.
01:34:42.380
And if the bus sees a bunch of immigrants there because they're trying to get on the buses,
01:34:51.720
So now your kid is left at the bus stop with illegals because the bus driver doesn't want
01:34:59.420
Every day you're going in and you're fighting against prices.
01:35:04.300
The rate of the rise of inflation has slowed down.
01:35:10.600
But they keep saying that, you know, inflation is is falling.
01:35:14.780
No, the rate of how the rate of how of going up has slowed down.
01:35:22.760
But we're still 20 to 23 percent inflation compared to when Trump was in office.
01:35:29.840
He just has to say, my fellow Americans, how much are you paying for groceries right
01:35:36.020
How much did it cost you to fill up your tank of gas the last time you filled up at the gas
01:35:40.080
And then he says, and how much did it cost when I was president?
01:35:43.020
And if Kamala Harris says, oh, I'm going to impose price controls or some other communist
01:35:46.480
measure that I think that was for the food industry.
01:35:48.400
But that's her general idea, which showcases exactly what she is.
01:35:52.340
He just has to say, well, do you support continuing to send U.S.
01:35:57.020
She's going to say, yes, this is a fight against Putin.
01:36:00.880
After she finishes her spiel, Trump just says, OK, so what I'm hearing you say is, yes, you
01:36:04.400
want to continue to spend American dollars in Ukraine, which means you're saying to the
01:36:08.000
American people that you don't care how much their gas and groceries cost.
01:36:11.240
And I've proved that because when I was in the White House, people had a very different
01:36:14.240
life than when you have been in the White House.
01:36:15.500
Yes, when you when it comes up to Ukraine, I mean, right now, Afghanistan is on everybody's
01:36:30.720
And now we are we are openly praising Ukrainians for their drone attacks on Moscow.
01:36:40.860
We would never put a if Canada became an enemy and Russia was sending drones over and military
01:36:50.260
equipment and they were they were bombing with drones, New York or Washington, D.C.
01:37:03.680
And you how is she going to make the case that we are safer today?
01:37:11.020
Again, I go back to the mom worried about our kids.
01:37:19.380
I'm also I don't want drag queens in my in my school, you know, for my kids.
01:37:24.940
It's all of these things are so worse, so much worse that I just think that when people
01:37:33.920
This time around, they are going to reflect, do I want more of this?
01:37:39.080
That's why I encourage President Trump to stay on message, because if you get into the weeds
01:37:43.640
on the personal stuff, as as entertaining as that might be for us to watch for a moment,
01:37:49.440
the average American wants to talk about how things impacted them.
01:37:54.980
So with the war in Ukraine, yes, you can talk about these hypothetical war plans.
01:37:58.900
But the truth of the matter is Kamala is dragging us to the brink of war.
01:38:01.780
She arguably is the one who started this war by saying that Ukraine could be part of NATO.
01:38:05.780
That was what, a month before Russia invaded Ukraine.
01:38:09.600
There's no doubt that there was a correlation between those comments and the onset of this
01:38:15.880
And then what's worse is she wants to draft our daughters and send them to war.
01:38:19.180
Tell that to the average, the average suburban mom.
01:38:21.520
The I have two young daughters, the idea that Kamala Harris could send them off to war
01:38:26.840
I have an 18-year-old daughter that could be drafted, I guess, under her if we went into
01:38:37.440
I mean, and there's no Canada for my son to run to, but I'd have to have, I'd have
01:38:42.960
to find some place for my son and daughter to run to.
01:38:45.740
They will not serve in a war with these people.
01:38:57.260
And it's a very frightening prospect for our country.
01:38:59.120
We shouldn't be in a situation where we feel like we have to run away from our country.
01:39:11.240
But the idea that I'm already having to think about all these different ways to protect
01:39:15.640
her from the left trying to get her, whether it's trying to indoctrinate her on abortion,
01:39:20.280
I actually had last year, it was not this past November, but the November before I had
01:39:23.620
a debate with a local school board member outside of the polls.
01:39:26.100
I was walking in carrying my daughter on my hip and the school board member or this candidate
01:39:36.740
And I said to her, do you believe in teaching transgender ideology to children?
01:39:43.480
And I was like, I held up my daughter, who I don't use for political props, but she was
01:39:47.860
And I said, so if my two-year-old at the time said she wanted to be a boy, you would
01:40:01.100
I know this is, I mean, President Trump should bring that up because.
01:40:04.580
You know, it's amazing what they'll say to our face.
01:40:07.420
And then what they say is a conspiracy theory that they always turn out now to be absolutely
01:40:18.860
The things that they say to our face are frightening enough.
01:40:23.200
When somebody is unclear with you in this administration, you should be terrified.
01:40:28.420
And I don't know why people continue to listen to liars.
01:40:38.920
I mean, I can't think of anything of any importance that he has exaggerated or lied about.
01:40:48.360
Well, an example we talked about a couple of times when he was saying no, no one opposed
01:40:55.940
Now, what he's talking about there is clearly there were a lot of people on the left, legal
01:41:02.720
So he's summarizing a legitimate situation by overstating it.
01:41:07.220
It's like a general, a hyperbolic generalization, not a lie.
01:41:10.060
But I'm not trying to justify not being precise, but there is a difference.
01:41:13.800
Yeah, there is a difference, and especially when you know you're lying.
01:41:18.220
You know, it's one thing to say this, and then, you know, and he said there are fine
01:41:25.140
No, at this point, you are engaging in evil because you know exactly what you're doing.
01:41:32.280
That is exact opposite of what he said, and they just, I guess people just are, they're
01:41:40.140
either numb to it, or they hopefully are waking up and going, you know what?
01:41:45.820
These people have given me this crap in my home, in my bank account, and in my city.
01:41:59.860
Right, and obviously Kamala is responsible for her own lies, but the institution that's
01:42:05.800
responsible for allowing her to be a liar is the mainstream media, and that's what I would
01:42:12.560
There is the idea that if you have a man and a woman on stage, and the man's being very
01:42:16.140
harsh, there are a lot of women who will interpret that as being a bullying demeanor.
01:42:19.620
Whether or not it's true, that's simply the reality of how people perceive things.
01:42:23.520
And so he should say, what does that mean when she says a lie?
01:42:26.300
Because here are the statistics that show that that's not true, and say, I don't know why
01:42:29.700
you're telling an untruth except to deceive the American people, but this is why, this
01:42:33.140
is a good example of the damage that happens when the mainstream media runs interference
01:42:36.940
for you, because you shouldn't be on the stage if you're not going to tell a truth, but that
01:42:40.440
should have been weeded out years ago by media actually doing their job and asking questions
01:42:46.700
All right, back in just a second, we're with Liz Wheeler.
01:43:07.040
You know, when you're willing to go, eh, let the baby die after birth, that's a problem.
01:43:16.660
I hate to be the broken record guy, but that's kind of my job.
01:43:22.600
Please call Lear Capital today and find out if gold or silver is right for you.
01:43:29.460
You know, when we talk about gold at, you know, $2,500 or $3,000 an ounce, that's never
01:43:39.120
And I remember, oh, how many years ago was it, 1918, 19 years ago, when I was talking
01:43:47.120
to some gold people and I said, you know, can you imagine what it would be at $3,000 or
01:43:52.780
$5,000, what the world has to be like, $3,000 or $5,000?
01:44:02.220
That is, the world would have to be on fire at $3,000 an ounce.
01:44:07.700
Well, we're hitting there and the world is on fire and it's not going to get better unless
01:44:12.860
we start making different decisions until we start seeing those different decisions and
01:44:22.920
I'm going to put my money in gold and silver, and I highly recommend that you do that now.
01:44:27.800
They have a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee at Lear, plus you'll get a free wealth protection
01:44:35.160
So if you have any questions, please do your own homework.
01:44:38.380
Don't listen to these advisors who are telling you, no, everything is great.
01:44:44.120
They'll also credit your account $250 towards your purchase of gold.
01:45:10.500
Because she's going to lie and say he wants to take all of your rights away, which he doesn't.
01:45:17.240
He doesn't, but he has to say what he actually believes, but he also can't piss off his own
01:45:24.020
core because he already has pissed them off, so he doesn't need to make it worse.
01:45:37.420
I am a pro-life absolutist, and I encourage Donald Trump and everyone to be the same way.
01:45:44.820
My advice to him would be to start out by praising life.
01:45:55.420
They have been the biggest blessings of my life, and I want to ensure that women across
01:46:01.020
our country and American families, I want to make abortion unthinkable.
01:46:04.780
I want to change the culture so that life is something that we value.
01:46:08.620
I want us to think, who might this young girl or young boy be?
01:46:16.140
I want people to feel financially secure and emotionally supported when they face these
01:46:25.440
I know he is unlikely to say that because he talks often about thinking abortion is okay
01:46:32.320
I obviously disagree with that, but I encourage him to follow the science and follow.
01:46:38.060
If he truly spends some time in reflection, I think that he should be based.
01:46:45.440
Abortion ends the life of an unborn baby who had potential and a future, and it harms women,
01:46:53.200
And he should make it a generally positive message without sacrificing the value of the
01:46:58.540
Can he go in to, you know, she wants abortion after birth?
01:47:08.520
He of course should highlight just how radical she is.
01:47:11.180
I mean, this is one of the most radical politicians in our country on abortion.
01:47:20.080
Probably more so because Margaret Sanger at the beginning didn't support late-term
01:47:27.980
And he should highlight that she's out of step with the American people.
01:47:30.040
Even women who identify as pro-choice, 80% of Americans, including pro-choice women, wants
01:47:39.640
He should highlight that he stands with the majority of America and that she does not.
01:47:44.680
And he certainly should highlight that the CDC says between 13,000 and 30,000 times a
01:47:50.900
Liz Wheeler, she'll be joining us tonight for our live coverage of The Debate on Blaze
01:47:58.820
Some days you walk up to your car and you start her up and, you know, you go through
01:48:07.820
Then some days you get into your car and you turn the key and there's nothing but silence
01:48:12.160
or a grinding noise or weird beeps and dings and, you know, you open up the hood.
01:48:18.180
I opened up the hood of my car the other day with my son and he was like, this is the problem,
01:48:25.340
And I'm like, yeah, well, I don't know what's underneath that thing anyway, but he does.
01:48:29.480
Almost without fail, you have these bad days, especially once your car has run out of warranty.

01:49:34.860
So I saw this meme online and I thought, this is incredible.
01:49:41.600
And before I hit post, I sent it to my researchers and I said, is this true?
01:49:50.100
Because if it's true, how come I've never heard this before?
01:49:53.200
The meme that's being circulated on the internet is the U.S. has the third highest murder rate.
01:50:00.180
But if you remove the five worst cities in the states that have the strictest gun control,
01:50:24.880
I think he is the best guy on crime statistics and gun statistics.
01:50:46.280
You were the guy who said, no, not even close, right?
01:50:52.140
It's amazing how many errors one can have in one sentence.
01:51:06.440
I mean, the United States is actually well below the average and well below the median
01:51:11.960
population in terms of homicide rates across countries.
01:51:17.780
You know, often people will make comparisons, but it's very selective on what countries they
01:51:25.400
You know, one thing also is if you look at, you know, something like the New York Times
01:51:30.180
or Washington Post or whatever, what they'll do is they'll have a graphic that talks about
01:51:34.700
firearm homicides and how that compares to other countries.
01:51:39.080
The problem with that is that, you know, in the United States, we're kind of spoiled with
01:51:45.740
Most countries don't even collect data on firearm homicides.
01:51:54.140
And the countries that don't report firearm homicides are the countries with the highest
01:52:01.340
So, you know, we could be we could be at the middle and if the top half don't report the
01:52:08.380
firearm homicide data, it would make it look like we're right at the top when it's really
01:52:12.480
just an artifact of which countries report the data.
01:52:17.000
What's the difference between murder and homicide?
01:52:20.320
I'm glad you asked that because a lot of people get that confused.
01:52:25.980
Homicides are murders plus justifiable homicides.
01:52:29.280
It's not never really been obvious to me why you want to lump those two things together.
01:52:34.400
A woman who shoots a rapist who breaks into her home at 2 a.m.
01:52:38.420
in the morning seems a lot different to me than a robber who kills somebody that he's
01:52:44.920
But it also affects the international data because not only do most countries kind of break out
01:52:59.860
And the problem is, is the United States is is way over representative in terms of defensive
01:53:11.820
So just looking at homicides makes us look even worse relative to other countries.
01:53:17.820
Tell me, John, because we know school shootings, they're going to come up tonight.
01:53:23.180
And she is I mean, she's on record saying gun confiscation, if I'm not mistaken.
01:53:30.640
I mean, she is radical on guns and, you know, will confiscate guns.
01:53:38.260
But they're going to talk about, you know, the use of AR-15s and the school shootings.
01:53:49.140
Well, I mean, look, I want to do something to stop these attacks, but I want to do something
01:53:55.520
So, you know, Kamala Harris and Biden and Obama, you know, kind of the number one thing
01:54:02.640
that they keep pointing to are things like background checks on the private transfers of
01:54:07.040
There's not one mass public shooting of any type this century that would have been stopped
01:54:12.920
if such a law had been in effect and been perfectly enforced.
01:54:16.040
I wish somebody would go and ask, you know, one of these politicians, you know, some reporter
01:54:22.740
just saying, well, what is you're talking about passing this law now?
01:54:26.520
Would it have stopped the most recent attack that we're talking about?
01:54:31.860
You know, the thing is, you look at the school shooting in Georgia, yet again, you had another
01:54:40.740
attack at a place where people were banned from having guns, where civilians were banned.
01:54:50.140
There's three counties in Georgia that allow teachers and staff to carry concealed handguns.
01:54:57.780
We've looked at all the school shootings in the United States from 2000 on, and you have
01:55:05.440
something like over 10,000 schools that have armed teachers and staff.
01:55:11.720
States like Utah and New Hampshire, if you have a concealed carry permit, a teacher is allowed
01:55:19.980
In other places, it requires the school board or the superintendent.
01:55:23.500
So a state like Texas has maybe 40% of the school districts have armed teachers and staff.
01:55:31.180
And yet, for all those years and all those schools that will have teachers and staff carrying,
01:55:37.900
there's not one attack where anybody's been wounded or killed at any school that has a teacher
01:55:46.280
You know, the issue is, you know, fortunately, in the Georgia case, there was a school resource
01:55:57.680
But what I don't think people understand is what an incredibly difficult job somebody in
01:56:06.320
You know, if you're the attacker, you have huge tactical advantages.
01:56:09.280
You can wait for the person in uniform to leave the area before you attack, or you can move
01:56:16.380
Or if you're going to go after that particular place, then who do you think you take out
01:56:20.980
If you take out the person in uniform, it's kind of like one thing I ask people, we have
01:56:33.660
Because if there is a terrorist on a plane, you know,
01:56:40.940
So if you're going to have a school resource officer, put them in regular clothes, give
01:56:47.420
them a staff position so they blend in and make it so they're not recognizable about who
01:56:52.620
is going to be able to go and stop the attacker.
01:56:55.340
Concealed carry gives a huge advantage because the attacker has no clue who they're supposed
01:57:02.720
So rather than having signs in front of these schools that say this is a gun-free zone,
01:57:09.060
that's a sign that you see in many schools in Texas and other places saying, warning,
01:57:14.840
select teachers and staff at this school are carrying concealed and will use these guns
01:57:20.020
to protect the students and others that are there.
01:57:22.940
These guys may be crazy, but they're not stupid.
01:57:26.120
Anybody who reads the diaries and manifestos, and I have to say, it just drives me absolutely
01:57:31.900
nuts the way the media refuses to cover the manifestos and diaries, the parts where they
01:57:38.600
explicitly explain time after time why they picked the targets that they did.
01:57:43.780
You know, the Nashville school shooter last year, in her diary, she talked about three
01:57:51.840
But she decided not to because there were armed people there at the mall, you know, or the
01:58:00.820
He explicitly says he wanted to go to a place where he didn't think his victims were going
01:58:06.980
These guys want to get media attention, and they know the more people they kill, the more
01:58:12.040
media attention that they're going to be able to get.
01:58:14.200
And they know if they go to a place where their victims can't defend themselves, they're
01:58:19.100
going to be able to go and kill more people and get more media attention.
01:58:24.980
John, hang on for just a minute, because I want to talk to you also about the property
01:58:33.140
The Democrats are saying, no, crime's not out of control, and illegals have nothing to
01:58:39.920
do with it, even if it was getting out of control.
01:58:43.440
Those both seem to be gigantic lies, and I know you have the answer to them.
01:58:49.880
We'll come back in just a minute with John Lott.
01:58:56.020
Most likely, there's a time in your life when you didn't have to deal with aches and pains.
01:59:02.800
My daughter, for my birthday, just gave me a T-shirt that said, my fondest memory of my
01:59:11.900
You know, you get older, that's just the way it happens, you know, and then you lose
01:59:20.860
Hair starts to grow in places you didn't think hair should grow.
01:59:24.120
Anyway, there is a way for you to turn back the clock on your aches and pains, and it is
01:59:30.460
It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is
01:59:35.400
the source of a lot of the pain in our bodies, and a lot of the disease.
01:59:39.920
So, a 100% drug-free way to help reduce or eliminate pain is Relief Factor.
01:59:53.000
Try it and see how it can help you turn back the clock on pain.

02:00:06.420
The previous content identified as conservative.
02:00:33.060
John Lott, Jr. from the Crime Prevention Research Center, probably the best guy on crime and
02:00:46.300
I wanted to get this because the Democrats are saying crime is dropping.
02:00:52.500
At the same time, millions of illegals are entering the country, and we're seeing violent crime
02:01:00.400
like we have not seen ever before, and they're saying, no, no, no, no, they have nothing to
02:01:09.420
What's the truth on the crime rate and the illegal crime rate as well?
02:01:18.600
Look, there are two measures that we have of crime.
02:01:22.500
And the media just seems to only be looking at one of these measures and not realizing
02:01:31.360
And you'll see news headlines all the time that will say crime is falling, but people
02:01:39.240
So the two measures are the FBI's measure of crimes reported to police.
02:01:45.080
And then there's the Bureau of Justice Statistics measure called the National Crime Victimization
02:01:50.560
Data, which gets a measure of total crime, both reported and unreported.
02:01:56.080
And prior to 2020, these two sets of numbers generally went up and down together.
02:02:02.080
But since 2020, they've been going in opposite directions.
02:02:04.960
So, for example, in 2022, the last year that both of those numbers are finalized for, what
02:02:13.980
you find is that while the FBI claims that there was a 2% drop in violent crime, the National
02:02:20.360
Crime Victimization Survey, which surveys about 240,000 people a year, this is really a massive
02:02:26.720
survey, showed a 42% increase in violent crime, the largest percentage increase that we've
02:02:39.920
One of them is the fact that people have an idea that crime, law enforcement has collapsed
02:02:47.200
But I think it collapsed even much more than people think.
02:02:49.560
You know, you go to a CBS or a Walgreens in many places in the country, whether it's
02:02:55.400
New York or Los Angeles or D.C., everything's behind plexiglass and you have to get a clerk.
02:03:04.040
People know that that wasn't the case a few years ago, but it's not just property crime
02:03:10.520
So if you look at the arrest rates for large cities, what you find is in the five years
02:03:16.720
before COVID, 44% of violent crimes result, reported violent crimes result in arrest.
02:03:29.180
That's over a 50% drop in arrests for reported crimes.
02:03:35.280
If you look at arrests for total crimes, it was 8%.
02:03:42.000
The drop in property crimes was almost two thirds.
02:03:45.120
And only 4% of reported property crimes result in arrest and only 1% of total property crimes.
02:03:56.680
And obviously, as you've talked about many times, you have these prosecutors in many
02:04:01.120
places that just because somebody is arrested doesn't mean that they're going to be charged,
02:04:07.660
And so the risk for criminals committing crimes in many of these areas is almost nonexistent.
02:04:15.780
I mean, if you're committing a property crime in these large cities, it's like well less than
02:04:20.580
1% chance that you're going to be punished for committing the crime.
02:04:25.120
And is it surprising that if you have these huge drops in arrest rates?
02:04:30.100
We've never seen such low arrest rates in the entire time that the FBI has collected this
02:04:39.340
We've never seen anything even remotely close to having these low arrest rates, nor the drop
02:04:45.920
that we've seen in just a few year period of time.
02:04:49.340
So what should Trump say today when he talks about crime, and especially illegal crime?
02:05:04.980
I mean, the Democrats and the media have made it explicit.
02:05:08.180
They've said, look, we've had all these millions of illegals coming into the country and crime
02:05:14.840
No, she said, she actually said the crime rate among illegals is lower than the U.S.
02:05:27.500
I mean, look, what often happens if you go through the statistical studies that a lot
02:05:33.180
of left-wingers put out is they lump together legal and illegal immigrants, okay?
02:05:41.160
And for illegal immigrants coming into the country, their crime rate actually is extremely low.
02:05:50.760
But for illegals, particularly the most violent types of crimes like murder and kidnapping and
02:05:57.260
rape and things like that, their crime rate is extremely high.
02:06:03.140
And by lumping the two together in these numbers, you're obscuring the differences that are there.
02:06:09.780
You know, the other problem is that it's so politically toxic to even have governments collect this data here.
02:06:20.000
That, you know, you look at Europe, though, where they do collect data by country, and you
02:06:25.640
clearly see that as you have more illegals coming into a particular country, their homicide rates go up.
