00:00:53.960Speaking of, Press Secretary J.D. Vance was behind the podium today, asked many questions, didn't shy away from any, but asked about one of perhaps the most important things upcoming, and that's the midterm elections. J.D. was asked about who people should be voting for and why, and this is what he had to say.
00:01:10.500My elevator pitch is actually, it's very simple. Do you want to live in a country that has safety and security and prosperity? If the answer is yes, and I think most Americans do, then vote for congressional Republicans over congressional Democrats.
00:01:25.860On every single issue, the Democrats have taken the side of fraudsters, of criminals and a far left interest groups over the side of the American people.
00:01:35.840Let me choose just a few issues. OK, so on fraud, we are trying to take money out of the hands of fraudsters so that people who rely on Medicaid or people rely on food stamp benefits.
00:01:45.700They're able to get what they need because we've ensured that Americans, people's tax dollars actually go where it's supposed to go rather than fraudsters.
00:01:53.680Democrats have fought for the fraudsters and Republicans have fought for the people who deserve these benefits and the American taxpayers who are paying those benefits.
00:02:02.540If you look at oil and gas policy, Democrats for a generation have gone to war against energy.
00:02:09.880We've tried to make it easier to build additional energy capacity, and we've done that for the past 18 months.
00:02:15.320If you look at crime, we have had, I think, the most successful anti-crime policy maybe in the history of I can't think of a single 18 month period where you've seen violent crime drop so significantly thanks to the work of a single administration.
00:02:32.020And at every step of the way, the Democrats have fought us to open prisons.
00:02:36.360They fought us to prevent us from putting people, violent criminals behind bars.
00:02:40.520They fought us on basic things like funding and supporting law enforcement.
00:02:45.120but they fought us on giving tax breaks to our police officers.
00:02:49.160So on every issue where we've been successful in promoting law and order,
00:02:53.640the Democrats have been for the criminals and we've been for the American people.
00:02:56.900And finally, just one other very, very important issue,
00:03:00.680and that's building in the United States of America.
00:03:04.100This guy, Abdul El-Sayed, he says that he stands for working people.
00:03:07.780Well, if you stand for working people, then why have you supported the same policies
00:03:12.000that for 40 years shipped the Michigan auto industry to foreign nations.
00:03:16.960We are the people who have been fighting for the jobs of Michigan auto workers.
00:03:21.240We've been the people willing to stand up, both to the big corporations,
00:03:24.880but the big foreign competitors and say,
00:03:28.160you are not allowed to steal American industry anymore.
00:03:31.100So on all these issues, Democrats stand for somebody else.
00:03:36.300My argument to the American people is not that you're going to agree with us on every issue,
00:03:39.640but they're a bunch of crazy people elect the common sense people to washington and we'll keep
00:03:44.780on doing great work not to top it all off we've heard from the democrats over the course of the
00:03:48.600last few days weeks months and years about what their plan will be once they take over congress
00:03:53.880should they take over in congress and of course there is no plan so that should tell you who to
00:04:00.080vote for here we go again retiring rhino senator tom tillis launched another broadside attack
00:04:06.480against the trump administration this afternoon this time he's demanding that president trump
00:04:10.660fire the secretary of war pete hagsett tillis issued this stunning demand following the
00:04:15.440resignation of army secretary dan driscoll who announced yesterday afternoon that he would be
00:04:20.480departing that was his final full day at the position after serving for approximately 18 months
00:04:25.660apparently he and hagsett didn't see eye to eye on some things which has now led to his departure
00:04:32.100And President Trump this afternoon in a media appearance, issuing one final dire warning to the spineless Senate Republicans as the Critical Save America Act remains stalled in the GOP-controlled Senate under John Thune, of course.
00:04:46.020President Trump says this will be the last time that Republicans have the opportunity to do such a thing as the midterms are just around the corner.
00:04:54.320But it seems John Thune couldn't care less because he's not pro-American.
