Biden Corruption and Bidenomics with John Solomon and Steve Moore
For years, John Solomon has taken the lead in exposing the Biden family's glaring corruption. Now, the rest of the world, including the regime media, is catching up with him. Solomon joins Charlie to talk about the IRS whistleblower, and how DOJ inaction has allowed Hunter Biden to get away with years' worth of tax evasion. Plus, Steve Moore of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity breaks down the combination of inflation and stagnation that defines "Bidenomics." Finally, Charlie talks about his recent dinner with Donald Trump, and what it revealed to him about Trump's character and his prospects for 2024.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
Joining us now is the great John Solomon, who has been a dog with a bone for years on the Biden corruption stuff.
And a lot of his hard work is really starting to come out.
And he deserves to be complimented and thanked for his terrific work.
There's so much.
It's hard to even keep track of this.
In fact, John, my team is literally a three-page list of all the different points of corruption.
It's hard to keep track of.
Yeah, I mean, like $10 million, the amount of bribe money received Joe and Hunter Biden, $8.3 million from 2014 to 2019, $3.5 million, Mayor Moscow's wife, $2.2 million the amount of money.
Hunter Biden failed to pay in taxes.
It just goes on and on.
But John, you've made some news where you talked about a very private phone number that you called.
Tell us about it.
Yeah, listen, something happened in 2019 when I was still at the Hill.
And I had broke the first four or five stories about Joe Biden, the famous tape I uncovered where Joe Biden tells the Ukrainian president, if you don't fire the prosecutor, who, by the way, was investigating his son's company, you're not getting your billion dollars.
And of course, the prosecutor got fired.
So that story is raging.
And I'm having a hard time getting fair comment from Hunter Biden.
So I try never to stop.
You just be relentless.
And I found a phone number that was in a series of documents that the FBI had seized from Devin Archer, one of Hunter Biden's business partners.
By the way, keep an eye on Devin Archer.
He may soon be cooperating with the House Oversight Committee and James Comer.
He would become the single most important witness to date in Comer's investigation if he were to provide testimony.
But I saw this number and it looked like it was associated with Hunter Biden.
I said, well, what the heck?
I'll call it.
So I dial up the number and lo and behold, the person answers that's not Hunter Biden.
I know that voice.
That's the vice president.
So I said, Mr. Vice President, is that you?
And he said, yes, but I can't talk right now.
I'm sorry.
He hung up.
And that was my loan interaction.
All I was trying to do was to get fair comment.
But it's another little piece of evidence that the life, the businesses, maybe the bills and finances of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are far more commingled than the answers that Joe Biden has given when he keeps saying, I had nothing to do with anything with my son, his business partners.
We know that's not true now because there's just an extraordinary avalanche of evidence that shows that Joe Biden was meeting with business partners.
There was that text message last week, but I think the more damning piece of evidence that came out last week is this.
One of Joe Biden's friends, one of the guys that have been inside the Biden family for a long time, Rob Walker said, of course he met with the Chinese.
I was there.
I attended the meeting.
It was Hunter Biden, the Chinese communists, energy executives, and myself.
So even Joe Biden's family and friends are beginning to call bunk on some of the things he's been telling the American people and lying to the American people about.
And you have to ask yourself the question.
If you can't even be honest about attending a meeting with one of Hunter Biden's business partners, what is he really trying to hide?
I think we're going to get those answers this summer and fall because of James Comer and Chairman Smith at the Ways and Means Committee.
And of course, Jim Jordan at the House Judiciary Committee.
So do you think it's time to proceed for impeachment in Korea?
And before I do that, I want to just play this tape here.
It's just some breaking tape here.
Play cut 38, please.
How involved were you in your son's tiny shakedown text message?
Were you sitting there?
Were you involved?
Were you?
No.
Yeah.
Just screams at him.
Now, mind you, it's not breaking.
I didn't host the show yesterday, so it's breaking for me.
John, your reaction.
And please, it's what he's been doing.
Yeah, listen, it's what he's been doing all along.
He told us the laptop was disinformation in a debate in his final job interview with the American people.
He was lying.
It wasn't.
And the FBI knew he was lying.
He said he never met with any of Hunter Biden's business partners.
We now have photos of a meeting with those business partners, Devin Archer being one of them.
There are emails showing that he met with the Burisma officials.
I believe if Devin Archer testifies, he might be able to corroborate some other meetings.
And now we have Rob Walker saying, so Joe Biden's credibility on these issues have been completely eviscerated by contemporaneous evidence.
And so he can say no.
He can call his friends and family liars.
He can call his business associates liars.
He could claim that the laptop is lying.
But the fact of the matter is he did.
And perhaps more troubling for all of us is the fact that while he was denying it during the 2020 election, the FBI knew there was an allegation not yet investigated that Joe Biden was involved in a $10 million bribery scheme involving Burisma.
Why is that important?
Well, Burisma was where the story started with my reporting back in 2019.
It's now where the FBI had the most serious allegations against Joe Biden.
It doesn't look like it was ever investigated at the time.
And it's the place where IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who's going to show up on my podcast in a couple hours, where they began their tax evasion case.
They realized that Hunter Biden had not paid $400,000 taxes and $400,000 of income from Burisma in 2014.
By the way, you'll hear from Gary Shapley today for the first time on my show that he, to this day, Hunter Biden still hasn't paid taxes on that $400,000 from Burisma because the statute of limitations was allowed to expire by his father's Justice Department.
He got off on what may have been the most serious felony of all, Burisma, Burisma, Burisma.
It started in 2019.
It led to the Trump impeachment.
It led to the denial of the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation when it wasn't.
The Biden family seems to have told enough lies that you have to wonder what else are they hiding about the Burisma relationship?
John, I'll be honest, the more evidence that people like you are able to publicize in the House, it just weakens these cases against Trump as well.
I know they're separate, but in the court of public opinion, it becomes a laughing stock in many different ways where you see that, you know, Donald Trump's getting indicted for paperwork nonsense.
And here are the Bidens that are selling out policy for cash.
So it feels, John, that the House is the House of Cards are finally falling apart.
You're really well sourced.
You talk to a lot of people.
Are you seeing Democrats get a little bit nervous here or are they just going to keep punching through this?
How serious is this getting?
Yeah, listen, I think it's going to get more serious as more factual evidence comes forward.
We can't have conjecture anymore.
These things are five, seven, 10 years old.
We need the facts and no more conjecture, no more guessing.
And that's what James Comer, Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson, Chuck Grassley, and Chairman Smith at the Ways and Means Committee have given us significant facts.
And now you see the mainstream media reacting to those facts, starting to cover them seriously.
There have been real questions like the one you just saw in that CNN clip at the podium that caused Corinne John Beer just to walk off stage, Admiral Kirby walking off stage because they don't want to address these questions.
Now, the facts will keep piling up.
I think there are two things that are going.
Democrats are getting more concerned.
They're seeing the negative ratings of Joe Biden go up and it's becoming a pox on the whole party potentially.
It isn't just corruption questions, right?
You have his age question and the failure of his policy questions that are weighing in.
67% of Americans think he's too old to carry out the job.
That's a real problem.
We've never had that in the history of polling in America, not even Ronald Reagan.
No one.
So that's another millstone we have to add to the table.
And the other thing you have to watch at is Gavin Newsom is acting like a contingency presidential candidate.
What does that mean?
Well, he's not going to step on Joe Biden, but if Joe Biden gets into a position where he can't get off the floor, politically speaking, then I think Gavin Newsom is already positioning himself.
That's why he was on Hannity.
That's why he went down to the border.
He's giving himself a chance to quickly jump into the race and be a substitute if Joe Biden implodes or corruption overtakes his presidency.
Yeah, and Gavin Newsom has kept his entire finance team together.
He's ready to go and raise tons of money almost immediately.
He's kept his entire political team intact.
Most people don't know that.
John Solomon, I'm not, I think, any other thoughts, John, stories you're covering, things you want us to know?
Listen, Romania is going to become more important.
I'm going to have some new stories about Romania.
The other thing in the oligarch there, a guy named Papavichu, it's clear that Hunter Biden was trying to get him out of his legal troubles and he was talking to his father's administration.
Another oligarch with legal trouble like Zolchevsky, like the Russian oligarch.
The pattern is becoming clear.
They were targeting oligarchs for business when they knew they had legal troubles.
That's the pattern to keep an eye on.
Merrick Garland's Flawed Answer00:05:16

Wonderful resource, charlie4hillsdale.com.
So, John, it also might be time to impeach Merrick Garland.
Merrick Garland is acting like a mob boss, and it actually is timely here with all the Supreme Court news today.
Merrick Garland wishes he was on the Supreme Court.
So, what do we know about Merrick Garland and the shifty behavior that he's been engaged in?
Kevin McCarthy is going to give Garland until July 6th to respond to Weiss.
John, what's the update here?
Yeah, listen, the Attorney General was really drilled down on, and Chuck Grassy really pinned him into a very specific answer, which is that Weiss didn't ask for special counsel status and that Weiss could bring any charges and no one could block him.
And Gary Shapley, who I interviewed today on my John Solomon Reports podcast, spends a long time describing what really happened.
The U.S. attorneys in Washington and Los Angeles refused to bring the most serious tax charges against Hunter Biden.
Weiss couldn't bring them in those districts because he's the Delaware U.S. attorney.
So Merrick Garland's answer was factually flawed no matter what, because you can't bring a charge in another district unless you're that U.S. attorney or get that U.S. attorney's buy-in.
And so on its face, Merrick Garland's answer when he gave it to Chuck Grassley six, seven months ago was suspect.
It's now more suspect because Gary Shapley said six people sat in a room with me, so a total of seven witnesses.
And the U.S. attorney Weiss, a holdover from the Trump administration in Delaware, said both Los Angeles and Washington U.S. Attorneys refused to bring the more serious felonies going back to 2014.
And therefore, we can't bring the cases.
I asked to be upgraded to a special counsel so I could have that authority.
I was turned down.
So we're going to have to settle the case for something a lot less, which ends up being misdemeanors as we know now.
There is no circumstance that Gary Shapley's account, backed by multiple witnesses, one of them who's already come forward, a second IRS agent, that there's nothing in Shapley's testimony that supports what Merrick Garland said to Chuck Grassley under oath or before Congress or before the United States Senate.
That is a very big problem for Merrick Garland, who already has the issue of going after parents as domestic terrorists when they weren't.
All they were doing was exercising their free speech rights.
I think there's a lot of questions that are going to come here.
And the first step, and this may not even be what happens to Eric Merrick Garland, I think a lot of Republicans are beginning.
Yeah, I think we should start an impeachment inquiry against him.
But the first thing is, will the federal judge in Delaware accept this plea bargain, given all that we just learned since the plea bargain was struck?
I think that's going to be the next big question.
That's fascinating.
Let's play cut 40 here.
He was blocked from pursuing leads.
Okay, who blocked them?
Who gave the order?
Did this come straight from the commander-in-chief, play cut 40?
Shapley, who is still working for the IRS, told us that even before President Biden took office, he was directed to avoid leads involving Hunter's father.
There were certain investigative steps we weren't allowed to take that could have led us to President Biden.
And you wanted to take them.
We needed to take them.
And you weren't allowed to take them.
That's correct.
This is a serious whistleblower.
This is a credible guy.
And so who at the DOJ is blocking this?
I mean, my speculation is Joe Biden and or Ron Clain gave the order.
These things.
Listen, it started before Joe Biden was president.
These blockages occurred in the summer and fall of 2020 when Donald Trump's Justice Department, Bill Barr's Justice Department, were still in charge.
And I think a lot of people have to ask questions.
We always want to blame everything on Biden, but the problems in this case start with Bill Barr and the Donald Trump Justice Department.
They could have finished this case in 2020.
They didn't.
They prevented search warrants from being executed.
Witnesses were being interviewed, leads from being questioned, questions about Joe Biden from being answered.
That all happened on Bill Barr's watch.
And Bill Barr set up the Delaware U.S. Attorney to fail.
Why?
He put this case in Delaware, even though they knew the tax violations were in D.C. and L.A.
I think the first person that needs to answer questions is Bill Barr.
John Solomon, Justin News.
NAD Benefits and Strong Cell00:02:56
Thank you so much.
Good to be with you.
Are you feeling burned out and a little tired?
Look, I want to tell you about something that I've become a big believer in.
And if you do not know about it, you've got to research it.
You could fact check me.
It's NAD.
NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to go actually get it to the next level.
And so what does NAD stand for?
Well, try to take a note here.
It is nicotinamide adenonide dinucleotide.
I did that pretty well, don't you think?
NAD.
It's a coenzyme that is central to metabolism.
Again, don't take my word for it.
Go watch a YouTube video or two or three or four and go fact check me on it.
I've been taking NAD for quite some time.
And people say, Charlie, how do you travel 2,700 days in a decade?
How do you do the 300 days a year?
How do you do that?
Look, it's not only because of this.
I eat well and do other things as well.
But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
And that's a must for me.
It's not just that.
It's for vitality.
It helps your immune system.
It's all good stuff.
So go to strongcell.com forward slash Charlie today and see for yourself.
It's not a stimulant.
It doesn't contain any caffeine.
I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
And look, it's not a magic pill.
It's like, oh, I'm going to start taking this and I'm going to be super smart.
No, no, it's an additive, an amplifier on people that want to get better.
But I can tell you, it makes a big difference.
I've personally seen undeniable benefits from taking Strong Cell and engaging with NAD every day.
So I had to partner with them.
I vetted them.
I checked out their ingredient profile.
And do yourself a favor and give Strong Cell a try.

Bidenomics and Economic Future00:15:02
Joining us now is Steve Moore from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.
Steve, thank you for joining us.
Steve, this speech yesterday of biotinomics is too much.
I wanted to get you to help us explain it.
Let's play Cut 75 to start.
Bidenomics is about the future.
Bidenomics, just by the way, is saying, restore the American dream because it worked before.
This is the moment we're finally going to make a break and move away from economy that has existed in a fundamentally different direction.
So Steve Moore, define biotinomics for us.
Well, first of all, let me say it is true.
There's one part of that speech that is true, Charlie.
He has Joe Biden move the American economy in a fundamentally different direction.
How do you like it now?
Right?
I mean, most Americans, two-thirds of Americans think the economy is going in the wrong direction.
Most Americans think their own finances are in big bubble because of Biden's massive inflationary policy.
What I find really interesting, Charlie, is that Biden basically says he wants to embrace the term Bidenomic.
I mean, people like you and I have been using that term derisively for two and a half years now because it's led to such disastrous results.
One little point I'd like to make that I think is kind of ironic is, do you know where he gave that speech, Charlie?
No, it was in a half-lit room, but where did he give it?
That was in Chicago.
Now, can you imagine wanting to talk about economic revival, giving a talk in Chicago?
By the way, I'm from Chicago.
I love Chicago.
It's one of my favorite cities.
It's heartbreaking what's happened in Chicago.
But my point is, you know, that's where people are leaving.
They're packing their bags because of high crime, because of the factors that are out of control, because the jobs are leaving, the businesses are leaving because of blue state progressive policies.
And he's holding up that as an icon.
I mean, God forbid that Chicago become, you know, that the country should imitate Chicago.
But most of the facts and figures he recited in that speech were just fallacious.
Yeah, I mean, I'm from Chicago, too.
And if you want a mass exodus of people, yes, that's right.
That's exactly right.
So, all right, I want to play a piece of tape here.
So Biden said here that he reduced the deficit by $1.7 trillion.
Steve, you'll tell us the facts, PlayCut 76.
Just in my first two years in office, my team and I have reduced the deficit by $1.7 trillion.
We're the only president.
Just in two years.
Steve Moore, what is the truth?
Well, since Joe Biden has come into office, the national debt over the next 10 years has risen by somewhere in the neighborhood of $8 to $10 trillion.
By the way, the new numbers just came out inconveniently yesterday, showing another erosion of our fiscal health.
Just in the last 12 months, Charlie, the national debt rose another $2.1 trillion.
I mean, this is like saying that the Hindenburg was a successful transportation form.
I mean, this is a catastrophe what we face for our country right now.
What he's saying is, oh, you know, we shut down the economy during COVID, of course, in 2020.
And then when we put the economy back in place, the deficit went down.
But that's just because COVID was ended.
It had nothing to do with Biden's policies.
But we are now on a collision course with a financial calamity.
If we don't turn this around, Biden has no solutions to it.
All he wants to do is raise taxes.
He won't cut spending.
We just passed under Biden four spending bills in his first two years that added up to $5.8 trillion.
How in the world can he say he's the most fiscally conservative president?
No, he can't.
And so he says here, every single day in four years before I took office, Republicans charged me with encouraging people to stay home, not work.
Well, they were wrong.
Then he goes on to say that he's in, I don't know, I can't even read these transcripts.
He doesn't make sense half the time.
But Steve, let's talk about some of the fundamentals here.
Inflation, you know, massive deficit spending.
I don't think we've seen the worst from Bidenomics, though.
I think that we actually might be seeing a looming economic catastrophe, not to mention his war on energy, Steve Moore.
Yeah, we were, well, as you know, I worked for Donald Trump.
I was one of his senior economic advisors.
One of the things we were really proud of, Charlie, is what we did on energy.
I remember talking to Trump five or six years, about six years ago now, saying, you know, Mr. President, if we can get an all-in American energy policy, our oil, our gas, our coal, our nuclear power, our hydropower, everything we've got, we can be the number one economic superpower in the world.
We can be energy independent.
And Trump loved that idea.
He was all in on producing everything we've got.
For the first time in your and my lifetime, we were completely energy independent.
We were exporting oil.
And let's not forget, folks, the first act of this president, remember what it was, Charlie?
He killed the Keystone XL pipeline, a vital part of our energy infrastructure.
So that's costing us jobs.
It's making us more dependent on the Saudis and OPEC.
It's hurting our economy.
And it's bad for our national security.
Other than that, it's a really smart policy.
Yeah, there's no justification whatsoever.
So he kind of positions himself as middle-class Joe.
What do the numbers show, Steve, for middle-class ordinary Americans?
How have they been faring under this economic regime?
So I'm going to go back to Trump for a minute.
So under Trump, as you know, Charlie, we've talked about this.
In his four years in office, even including the COVID year, the average American household, according to the Census Bureau, the median household family, gained $6,500 in income.
That's a lot in four years, $6,500.
You know what the number is under Biden?
Negative 4,000, negative 4,000.
So it's been a complete reversal.
I talked to the president a month or two ago.
I said, you know, the key to you being president, especially if he gets the luxury of running against Biden, is to just ask the American people, are you better off today than you were four years ago?
Just like Reagan asked the American people when Jimmy Carter was president, are you better off than you were four years ago?
And people said, hell no, I'm not better off.
I'm worse off.
And that's exactly the situation today.
It certainly seems that way.
Every single sector is having its major issues, it seems, from across the board.
And so, Steve, but is it fair to say that?
Yeah, go ahead, Steve.
Yeah.
Well, there is one sector that's booming.
You know, it's that government.
A government.
Yes.
It's the fastest growing industry.
I just wrote a book called Gubzilla: How the Relentless Growth of Government is Devouring Our Economy.
You know, throughout most of our history, government took up, you know, consumed about 15 to 20% of our GDP.
Today, it's 38 to 39%.
We are letting the government take over our private sector economy.
Government is not a stimulus, Charlie.
Government only stimulates one thing, and that's more government.
That's the way it's always been.
Steve Moore from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.
Thank you so much.
Thanks, Charlie.
Talk to you soon.
So, had dinner yesterday with President Trump in Bedminster, New Jersey.
And you would expect a man who is under indictment in New York, indictment in the federal government, Florida, we own it at the Department of Justice, who might be indicted in Georgia, who might be indicted again for the January 6th stuff.
You'd expect that his spirits would be a little bit down.
But I was pleasantly surprised it was the exact opposite.
He looked great.
He was engaged, very energetic, and just what a contrast from the just senile thug that we have in the White House right now.
And he was focused.
You have to wonder, some people are better when they're under siege.
Some people actually operate better under pressure.
Aristotle had a quote that power shows you the man.
You could also say pressure shows you the man.
People that operate better under more and more pressure.
And look, I hear, I get thousands of emails from all of you, and I appreciate it.
You can email me more, freedom at charliekirk.com.
No problem.
But I hear a lot about the complaints about Donald Trump, but I hear very rarely about the virtues.
Not rarely, I shouldn't say that, but especially amongst people that are sworn enemies of Trump.
How many of you, if you were under multiple indictments, would still be able to have a great cheer and spirit, be a happy warrior and keep on pushing forward?
That's grit and perseverance and endurance, the likes of which I don't think we've ever seen.
Very, very focused on the details going into the 2024 election.
He was very curious about who was going to be doing ballot chasing, and I shared with him our public plans that we've talked about here on this program, all the stuff that we've said publicly.
And he's not taking it for granted at all.
It's really amazing.
A guy who's up 40 points in the polls and his closest competitor, Governor DeSantis, has not been trending well in the polls in recent weeks at all.
And President Trump continues to say, look, anything can happen.
We're going to work our tail off.
We're going to run our self to the end.
I want to just, I'm going to play a couple pieces of tape about the rest of the 2024 race.
It just makes you wonder, you know, are these other candidates actually serious about winning?
It's a really good question.
By the way, Mike Pence right now is in Ukraine, catering to the all-critical constituency of Kyiv, right?
Didn't you know that the Kiev caucus is before the Iowa caucus?
I can tell you confidently, somebody just sent us an email on this theme, something different, but similar.
And it kind of ties with some news because it now shows that Joe Biden has a sleep apnea mask, which millions of Americans have sleep apnea masks.
But it does make you wonder if Joe Biden's sleeping well at night.
Donald Trump seems like he's sleeping just fine.
It should be the other way around, right?
Joe Biden is not under federal indictment.
Should be, but he's not.
Joe Biden's a traitor to the country.
Donald Trump, paperwork nonsense.
Who do you think's a happier person right now?
It's a really interesting question, isn't it?
Well, people who take things and steal things end up not being very happy people.
Makes you think.
So we look at this 2024 race, and I told the president, we had a very long conversation about several things, and I told him that investments need to be made now in ballot chasing and early voting.
And he definitely agreed with that and also is very worried about who's going to be watching the counting and the tabulation and all of that.
You see, the primary here is about to get in a very nasty direction.
Public reporting is showing that Donald Trump is thinking to not debate.
I told him I don't think he should debate yesterday.
That was my advice to him, and I'm going to stand by that.
I think a debate would be a big mistake.
It'd be a mistake.
I mean, if he was within 10 or 15 or 20 points, when you're up 40 to 60 points, there is almost no upside at all whatsoever to debating.
Just give it a chance for Chris Christie to do whatever he does.
He could debate Biden if he agrees to debate.
That would be something to look at.
Force Biden to actually debate and come out and have a conversation.
It's been said before, but it really is worthy of repeating, is that you're not going to find another guy like Trump for another 100 years or 200 years.
I mean, from the business success, again, I hear the negativity people have all this.
He is a force in nature.
I mean, the guy, yeah, Blake says a thousand years, maybe.
There really isn't something like him.
And just to be kind of around him and just to look at him, yet you can't help but kind of be in awe.
And I know the left is going to troll me saying this, but they're dishonest freaks who disagree with this.
The guy's under multiple federal indictments.
He's a former president.
He's got every major powerful person trying to destroy him, kill him, and put him in prison.
He's in great spirits.
He's leading the Republican primary.
He's made billions of dollars, self-made billions of dollars.
I mean, if nothing else, you must find the man interesting.
You got to say, there's something here.
I mean, do you think Joe Biden is really a force in nature?
I mean, he's just, he's a nothing.
He's a transactional bureaucrat who sold out his country and was put in place by a massive machine lifted up by Reid Hoffman, Loretta and Powell Jobs, McKenzie Bezos, George Soros, all these people, the Democracy Alliance Arabella advisors.
Donald Trump was a guy with a flag and a microphone and decided to commit the crime of noticing.
But I want to reiterate something I said earlier, which I think is really important.
He's not taking this for granted at all.
I'm not going to guarantee he's going to win, but don't be shocked if he becomes president again.
Because when he wants something, when he really wants it, and he's willing to work at it, you shouldn't bet against Donald Trump.
In some ways, there's a 2016 swagger that seems to be coming back.
It's Donald Trump versus the world.
And you got to give him credit.
His message discipline has been great.
Messes discipline on the issues that really matter, going after the deep state, exposing the corruption by all this bogus nonsense and indictments.
And it will come down to three states: Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
And I repeated that because of the changes in the Electoral College, it's going to come down to three states.
But for all the demons and the spiritual darkness and the garbage peddlers who thought that they could do something to Trump, maybe they thought they could demoralize him.
They were wrong about that.
Maybe they thought that they could make him be a little bit pessimistic and negative.
Nope.
It's the opposite.
Yeah, he's going to have some legal stuff to work through.
He's going to have some, but he's not giving up.
In fact, he's doubling and tripling down.
He's emboldened.
He's more committed to becoming president than ever before.
And gleaning that from him, I find that to be incredibly admirable and virtuous.
No matter what you're going through in your life, you can look towards that and say that is a virtue of grit and endurance, something we should teach our children.
A lot more virtue than I'll ever give towards Joe Biden and the corrupt pack of thugs running our country.
