Big interview at 8 p.m.
Eastern, 5 Pacific with Elon Musk and his return to X, as many of us perhaps still call it Twitter.
But they'll be back.
They'll be doing an interview at 8.
So this will be a good warm up for that.
Make sure to stick around.
You got plenty of time till that goes live.
But I'm excited about it.
I think it's important.
We have to make sure
We're good to go.
By Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
A great guy, someone who understands what's going on, someone who's actually served in the military, didn't do the whole stolen valor thing like Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Waltz.
So we'll be talking to that.
We'll also be adding more scandals to our waltz of shame.
Okay, you've heard about the insanity, you've seen the stolen voweler, you've seen his compatriots and his subordinates as well as his superior officers calling out the insanity, and we'll talk about the shame and vetting record of Kamala Harris.
A lot of that went into this and they went with it anyway.
Makes you wonder, I guess they understand
The media's gonna do exactly what we've seen them do for her for the last three weeks.
So, make sure you guys are liking, sharing, and subscribing, okay?
That's critical in getting this information out, okay?
It will not get out there otherwise.
If you guys sit back, if we have apathy, it's not gonna get out there.
The rest of Big Tech...
Let's go!
Everyone always said, hey, you don't like what you're getting here.
Go build your own.
Go build your own.
Well, guys like me and friends and others, put money into this.
Put blood, sweat, and tears to make sure you guys have those options.
It'd be awesome if you can actually be out there supporting us.
Also, guys, don't forget about our incredible sponsors who have the guts to support programming like this.
Sponsors like Tax Network USA.
So let me ask you guys, are you receiving letters from the IRS claiming you owe back taxes?
Because every day, the IRS is sending thousands of lien notices to hard-working Americans like yourself.
As penalties and interest fees pile up, the IRS gives you no clear path to resolution.
Don't speak to them on your own.
They are not your friends.
Look at every other three-letter agency in America right now and realize that they are not working for you.

Don't trust the government, guys.
If there's one thing you got to learn from this program is that they are not your friends.
Make sure to do your own diligence.
Make sure to call those professionals at tnusa.com.
So, check it out.
Really appreciate that.
And now, I think we have to get into some of the top headlines.
Because first off, we got to ask ourselves, guys.
How stupid does Kamala Harris think voters are?
Here's her latest ad.
Watch for yourself and see.
She backed the toughest border control bill in decades.
And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.
Fixing the border is tough.
So is Kamala Harris.
I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message.
So, um, I don't know.
Why don't we go through these lies one by one?
The toughest border control bill in history.
Really?
I mean, is she talking about the Senate bill that would have allowed 1.8 million illegal immigrants to cross our border every year?
Is that the one that she's talking about?
Because that doesn't seem all that tough to me.
Kamala Harris then goes on to say that she'll support hiring more Border Patrol personnel.
But as a senator, she called for defunding Border Patrol agents.
How do you reconcile those two things, huh?
It seems interesting.
The hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Finally, Kamala claims that she'll crack down on fentanyl.
But as borders are, she's literally overseen a fentanyl crisis that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.
They've turned every state into a border state.
She was in charge.
She did nothing.
In fact, her apathy, her unwillingness to do anything, allowed for those Americans to die.
Now?
She's trying to pretend she's tough on the border?
After years of telling illegals it's okay to cross?
Watch for yourself!
To somehow suggest that an undocumented immigrant is a criminal.
Being an undocumented immigrant is not a crime.
I know what a crime looks like.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal and we have to correct course in this conversation.
We're not going to treat people who are undocumented across the border as criminals.
That's correct.
So, just so we're clear, after years of saying that if you cross the border illegally, you're not a criminal, Kamala now wants voters to believe that she's actually for border security.
I mean, I don't get it, but again, people are gonna run with that as though it's real.
There's nothing real, nothing real about any of this.
It's an AstroTurf campaign.
If you go to her website, there isn't even a policy page.
She just asks for your money.
And the media gladly tells you that she's incredible, and she's moderate, and she's not at all radical, and she wasn't the Borders are, and she had nothing to do with all of the failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration.
It's like she didn't exist.
She gets an entire blank slate, or better yet, they get to pretend she's the greatest thing to ever happen to government.
Now, she did finally introduce a policy over the weekend.
But it's one she plagiarized.
She copied directly from my father.
No tax on tips, folks.
Sound familiar?
It's not just that Kamala is shamelessly copying a Trump plan, but look at what she's done in office.
Just last year, just last year, the Harris administration started a new IRS program enforcement to
Collect more taxes on tips.
She literally wanted to make it harder for those wage earners to keep their tips without it being taxed.
They actually created legislation to be able to go after those people she now claims she's not going to go after.
That's not all, guys.
Earlier this year, Kamala bragged on Twitter, X, that she was proud to cast the time-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act.
Not only did that $2 trillion legislation increase inflation, but it allowed the IRS to track down workers' tips so that they could be taxed.
She has no shame.
She's going to continue to campaign like this.
She just spoke about how prices are too high, for example.
You can't even make it up.
Check it out.
Because while our economy is doing well by many measures, prices for everyday things like groceries are still too high.
You know it and I know it.
You know, when I was Attorney General, I went after price-fixing schemes.
And when I am President, it will be a day-one priority to fight to bring down prices.
She was just telling us that Biden's economy was working.
Remember, Bidenomics is wonderful.
It's working.
Everything's going great.
She is part of the administration that has given us this disastrous economy, this disastrous inflation, all your food prices, your gas prices, the shutdown of pipelines.
Everything we are facing as a country right now is on her administration.
Check it out.
And Videnomics is working.
Videnomics is working.
And Videnomics is working.
All that is called Videnomics.
It's a term we're very proud of, I must tell you.
Because Videnomics is working.
It's working.
It's crazy.
I mean, it's hard to believe that they can get away with this in 2024.
George Orwell would be incredibly proud.
Now, Democrats think that they can get away with this right now because we're facing two opponents in the president election.
We're facing Kamala Harris and we're facing the fake news media.
They've been fawning over Kamala Harris and are doing their best
They possibly can to try to get her elected and ultimately destroy America, destroy our freedoms, destroy everything we believe in.
The media is doing the same with Tim Walz.
Look at CNN blame technical difficulties.
Yeah, it's technical difficulties to get out of an interview.
from a soldier talking about how Tim Waltz bailed on his troops.
You can't even make this up.
They're cutting out someone they asked to go on their show to talk about it because they didn't like the narrative and magically they got technical difficulties.
I'm sure that's real, folks.
He hadn't been notified yet?
If you're in a position, you're going forward irregardless unless there's some really major or process that gets you out from not going on the deployment itself.
So, there's that window of opportunity.
People say, we never knew he was going forward.
Yeah, he knew he was going forward.
Had he gotten his orders yet?
No, at that time he had not.
As far as being a Command Sergeant Major,
He, as soon as he retired, or I'm going to go with the term retired, which he did, and he was eligible after 20 years to get a full retirement, he was taken out of the Academy at that time.
Here's another thing about... Well, Sergeant Major, I do want to hear that.
I do want to hear what you have to say, Sgt.
Major.
I know I want to be sensitive of your time and your audio is beginning to break up just a little bit, but I do want to thank you because I think you've clarified a lot for people and given more information.
The question now is how the voters will evaluate it.
Sgt.
Major, Doug, Julian, thank you so much.
I don't know, guys.
Audio kind of seemed fine to me.
They just didn't like the response.
They didn't think it was as bad as it is, and yet every day there's a new stolen valor thing, there's another lie, and that's not all.
His battalion commander took to Facebook to absolutely destroy Governor Walz, potential VP, over his stolen valor.
The man named John Cole wrote, and I quote, I can sit in the cockpit of an airplane.
It does not make me a pilot.
When the demands of service and leadership at the highest level got real, he chose another path.
Wow.
I mean, you know what?
It tells you everything you need to know.
That guy's gonna be number two in charge of the U.S.
government if Kamala Harris becomes president.
He could actually be president.
One day.
And meanwhile, Waltz and Kamala have yet to do a single interview.
J.D.
Vance, our vice presidential pick, was out there on the Sunday shows this weekend.
All of them.
Killing it.
Unlike Kamala.
Here he is in detail explaining policy and how to save American lives from fentanyl.
Do you view China as a competitor or an adversary?
I think they're both, right?
And I think that what we want to do here is build the kind of international order where we can check China.
We don't want to go to war with China, but certainly they're an adversary.
I mean, they know, for example, the Chinese know that they're manufacturing tons of fentanyl.
They're letting it come into our country.
Kamala Harris has done nothing about this.
She should apply diplomatic and economic leverage over the Chinese to stop manufacturing this fentanyl, which then comes into the Mexican drug cartels, which they then ship into our country.
The United States has designated some of these groups and pressed the Chinese government.
Oh, we could do so much more.
Fentanyl is not easy to manufacture, Margaret, and if Harris was applying proper leverage to the Chinese and to the Mexican drug cartels, we would not have so many people buying fentanyl overdoses.
How do you do that?
What's your vision of how you do that?
Well, I think you walk into Beijing, you talk to Xi Jinping, and you say, your entire economy is going to collapse unless you get access to American markets.
You need to take this fentanyl seriously or we are going to impose serious tariffs and economic penalties for not following our laws and not helping us stem the flow of this deadly poison.
He also exposed Kamala Harris for being a phony, which is 100% true.
And if the media were honest, and if the media actually functioned as journalists, they would do the same.
Check it out.
Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is.
But I believe, importantly, that President Trump is right, that she's a chameleon.
She pretends to be one thing in front of one audience.
She pretends to be something different in front of another audience.
Look, Dana, she's not running a political campaign.
She's running a movie.
She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter.
Everything is scripted.
She doesn't have her policy positions out there.
She hasn't answered why she wanted to ban fracking, but now she doesn't.
She wanted to fund police, but now she doesn't.
She wanted to open the border, but now she doesn't.
She should have to answer for why she presents a different set of policies to one audience and a different set of policies to another audience.
And I think that's what President Trump is getting at.
This is a fundamentally fake person.
She's different depending on who she's in front of.
And lastly, guys, my father had a major return to X today.
Twitter, for those of you who are still stuck in the past like me on social media.
Maybe I've just been there too long.
I'm having a hard time making the change.
But he posted a series of videos about just what's at stake in November.
These are so critical.
These are so important.
These are the things that our mainstream media should be showing you, but they won't.
Here's a clip.
2024, justice will be done.
We will take back our country and we will make America great again.
America will always rise to every challenge and overcome every danger.
Donald Trump seems to always get stronger when challenged.
These types of things, I think, give him strength.
When I'm re-elected, I will totally obliterate the deep state.
As long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and faith in our God, then we will not fail.

So, joining me now,
Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton.
How you doing, Tom?
How's everything?
Hey, Don.
I'm doing very well.
It's good to be on with you.
Good to see you, man.
Crazy times.
Have you seen in your political career perhaps the press act as dishonestly as they are right now with their sort of, you know, the artificial boosting of Kamala Harris?
Will she ever have to answer for her support of defunding the police, open borders, giving Medicare to illegal immigrants?
Or are they just going to let her hide in a basement like they did Joe Biden in 2020?
Well, Don, I mean, given how dishonest and liberal the press has always been, but especially since your dad first came down the escalator nine years ago, it's hard to pick a single moment in which they've done the worst.
But it may be the last three weeks.
I have to agree.
I mean, the press is acting like a force field around Kamala Harris or a phalanx of bodyguards.
Again, what we know about her and how she's a San Francisco liberal is not from, you know, anonymous leaks or white papers that got leaked to the media.
It's things that she said in her own voice on camera just five years ago when she was running for president in her own right.
I don't know.
In the high command of her campaign, if they can just get her through 12 more weeks without answering your questions, maybe she can win because we all know the kind of incomprehensible word salads for which she's become rightly famous.
Or the other scenario, when she opens her mouth in an unscripted fashion, is she just reminds everyone of what a dangerous San Francisco liberal she is.
But there you have today the press putting out there a glossy magazine cover of her on Time magazine about the reintroduction of Kamala Harris, which is, I don't know, like the seventh or eighth reintroduction of her.
Because she always wants to say whatever she thinks at the moment will get her elected, unless she's speaking to what she knows to be a friendly audience, like the Democratic electorate in 2019, and then the mask slips and she reveals herself, as always, to be a dangerous San Francisco liberal.
Well, I mean, just today, Corinne Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, said from the White House podium that there is no quote-unquote daylight between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Doesn't that kill Kamala's campaign?
I mean, she seems to be going against all of the policies that literally her administration was part of, the things that created the economic disaster that we're seeing, that encouraged, as far as I'm concerned, all these wars abroad.
Why would anyone want four more years of this mess if there's no daylight between the campaigns?
Yeah, I totally agree, Don.
There is no daylight between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
From the very beginning, they insisted that it's the Biden-Harris administration.
And what do you think is a better guide for Kamala Harris to do as president?
What she is now having anonymous aides say on background while she dodges the media, or what she said in her own voice when she ran in 2019, and what she's done as Joe Biden's wingman.
Remember, the reason we have inflation is the Democrats passed two trillion dollar tax and spend bills.
She literally cast the deciding vote for those bills both times in the U.S.
Senate.
The reason we have war in Europe and war in the Middle East is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have projected weakness from the very beginning.
Look at the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which emboldened Vladimir Putin.
She says, I was there in the room.
I was the last person egging on Joe Biden to do it.
Same thing in the Middle East.
Benjamin Netanyahu comes to the United States a couple weeks ago.
She refuses, as president of the Senate,
This isn't what you had when your dad was president.
We had peaceful, stable relationships in the Middle East and around the world because our enemies knew that they should never take a shot at America or at our friends.
Well, you know, Senator Cotton, you served honorably in the U.S.
Army, and you wrote the other day, you know, talking about her VP choice, Tim Walz's unit got orders to Iraq.
They got ordered to Iraq.
He could have gone with them, but he didn't.
He let his troops go to war without him instead.
Can you talk a little bit about what you think about Tim Waltz leaving before his troops got deployed?
I mean, when it first started, it was a stolen valor thing.
I thought it was bad, but every day it gets worse.
Like, he lies about his rank, and he goes back to his weapons of war, and every day it's like, you know, this guy was Rambo in his own mind and what he told his constituency, and yet that's clearly not the case.
It seems like he was just a coward.
Well, Don, I thought J.D.
Vance put it well yesterday on Sunday shows when he said this isn't about Tim Walz's service, which we respect and honor the service of all veterans.
This is about Tim Walz and now the campaign's multiple inconsistent and inaccurate statements.
about that service.
As you said at first, I was simply putting two and two together of that things that were not explicit, but now it's clear again from the command sergeant major you showed earlier, the chaplain, the battalion commander in his unit, multiple public records that Tim Waltz misrepresented his service about the rank at which he retired or about his service in Afghanistan versus Europe.
Or about when he knew that his unit was going to be deploying to Iraq and when he submitted his retirement papers.
I think the American people deserve answers from Tim Walz about these statements characterizing his military service.
But Tim Walz apparently thinks that he can skate by without answering any questions, just like Kamala Harris does.
And you know, for that matter, while we're on the questions that Tim Walz should be answering, he needs to answer for his very strange and longstanding relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
Yeah, talk about that a little bit because I mean it seems like this guy, this guy's links to the CCP make Joe Biden's actually look kind of minor by any other standard and frankly those were ridiculous already considering the circumstances.
So, Don, it goes back 35 years.
I think Tim Wallace has taken around 30 trips to China.
Almost all of those have been sponsored and funded in part or in whole by the Chinese government, which is to say the Chinese Communist Party.
He was doing that as a young teacher.
In some cases, he was taking students there, no doubt to be exposed to communist propaganda and indoctrinated.
He apparently honeymooned in China and even got married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989.
In Congress, he had a consistently soft record on China as well, downplaying the threat that China posed to this country.
And I could just tell you, as a member of the Intelligence Committee who has studied the Chinese Communists and their practices in trying to infiltrate
We're good to go.
of the Chinese to their local congressman or their senator.
But when their chip really comes in, those people might become, like say Eric Swalwell, a congressman or Tim Walz, a congressman and a governor and now vice presidential nominee.
So because this is such a common pattern in practice,
By the Chinese Communist Party to cultivate American leaders for the long term.
Tim Walz really owes the American people answers for this relationship that he had going back decades, financially back to the Chinese Communist Party.
For that matter, Kamala Harris owes the American people's answers as well on this question.
Yeah, I mean, did they even vet him, or do they just not care?
Because it seems like those connections, you know, are sort of obvious.
It took, you know, guys like me, you know, about two minutes to figure that this is a connection that would probably, you know, set up a lot of red flags for the American public, and yet it doesn't seem to matter for Democrats.
Are they just all in on it at this point?
Do they even care?
Well, Donna, I think on most of these things, it's simply a blind spot for liberals in the Democratic Party like Kamala Harris and the people she had vetting these nominees.
I mean, Tim Walz served in the military.
What else can you say about that?
They don't dig in deep to his actual statements.
As a politician about his service record.
They think it's a great thing to be going on so-called cultural exchanges or sensitivity and understanding tours of China with, in many cases, their fellow communists.
Consider his policy record.
He signed a law that said there have to be tampons in boys' bathrooms as low as fourth grade.
Or that he's going to make abortion available on demand up to the ninth month of pregnancy in Minnesota.
Look at his tax and spend record in Minnesota.
To the Democrats, these are not bugs.
These are features.
These are things that probably recommended him to Kamala Harris.
He wants to make Minnesota like California.
Yeah.
It's hard to believe.
I mean, I'm sitting here, I'm talking with the United States Senator.
I literally can't even believe we're having this conversation, right?
It should be scary, but obviously, I know it's something you care a lot about, but talk in further detail how the CCP has done those things, how they do try to latch onto those young Americans.
I mean, I think you can see it in a lot of things.
There's clearly, they're running a lot of, not just the fentanyl issue that they're clearly doing nothing about and probably encouraging,
But it seems like they run a lot of sort of psyops into the United States, you know, through media, through their funding of various programs.
What are the other things Americans have to understand about what the Chinese Communist Party is actually doing in America to manipulate things into their favor?
Don, for decades, the Chinese communists have tried to infiltrate American society and government and influence American opinion about China.
You had a couple examples there.
I can give you a few more.
Look at the so-called Confucius Institutes at college campuses, which your dad cracked down on when he was in office.
Again, nothing more than influence operations using college students, college professors, to try to cultivate pro-Chinese communist sentiments in America.
Consider Hollywood.
When was the last time you saw a Hollywood movie with a Chinese villain?
I bet you can't name it because they won't let you go into China if you have it.
So this goes back to the mid-1990s, for instance, with Seven Years in Tibet and Brad King and the blowback that the movie studios got from that and that the actors in that movie got.
And ever since then, China didn't have to object to Hollywood studios making movies with
Chinese villains or that portrayed the Tibetans, for instance, in a friendly light, because every movie studio and every A-list actor knew not to make such movies, not to star in such movies.
Consider what happened with Daryl Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets.
He merely reposted
A image on social media in favor of Hong Kongers' autonomy and freedom, as the Chinese communists promised to give them when they took back control of that territory in 1997.
And what happened?
China came down like a ton of bricks on the NBA and the Houston Rockets.
They cut off access to their games in China, which is one of their biggest overseas markets.
Surprise, surprise, within just a few weeks, Daryl Morey was out of a job.
We're good to go.
Again, and Chinese communists are cultivating at every level local leaders, too, to become Chinese communist mouthpieces and maybe ultimately leaders.
This has happened in Arkansas, I can tell you, is that politicians who are in one way or the other trying to win favor with China, trying to recruit investment into Arkansas that want me or other of our elected leaders in Congress to go soft on China.
Now, that stopped a long time ago with me because I think they knew that they were barking up the wrong tree.
After all, I got sanctioned by China years ago.
But it happens in every one of our states, try to influence our politics.
Crazy.
I mean, you know, I guess under the Harris-Biden, we've also seen a record for the most embassy evacuations of any administration in our history.
What message does that send to the rest of the world?
I think you believe, obviously, with us, that a strong America is good for the rest of the world, but that feels like we're just exuding weakness.
What do you see there, Senator?
Yeah, I mean, for three plus years now, thanks to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Uncle Sam's had a kick me sign on our back.
You know, it started most notoriously with the failed evacuation out of Afghanistan, which would have never happened under President Trump.
You have all these embassy closures and a refusal to stand up.
For Americans.
I mean, just consider that last week there were a couple more attacks on our troops in Iraq, and there's been no response.
There's been dozens and dozens of such attacks around the world on American forces, and you can probably count the number of responses on a single hand, maybe both hands.
Again, that wasn't the case with Donald Trump.
You saw for four years what happened when America has strength and confidence, when we stand alongside our allies, and we're willing to apply the discriminant use of military force.
President Trump had to bomb Syria twice.
He had to kill Qasem Soleimani in Iran.
But what did you get after that?
You didn't get another forever war.
You didn't get an invasion of a country and trying to occupy it and turning into a Western democracy like the Netherlands or Denmark.
You got peace and stability because people like the Ayatollahs in Iran got the picture that America would defend our interests and our people.
With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, they think they can get away literally with murder.
So I guess with that, with respect to sort of our biggest adversaries, whether it's China or Iran, what are the differences in policy and approach between Trump and the Harris-Biden administration, and specifically as it relates to, say, Taiwan and the so-called reunification?
Well, with Iran, I mean, I think that's the simplest example since both of them face the same set of leaders and similar circumstances.
Again, President Trump, after a series of attacks on Americans in 2019, struck back.
He killed Qasem Soleimani, Iran's terrorist mastermind.
What did Iran do?
They pulled in their horns.
By the end of his term in office, there was some threats.
I saw those threats coming through the intelligence reporting that they were maybe going to strike Americans again.
What did he do?
You probably recall this.
He tweeted out some friendly health advice to the Ayatollahs, that if a single hair on an American head was harmed, then they were going to have hell to pay.
It didn't happen.
What happens with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
All they can ever say, for instance, is don't.
They keep telling Vladimir Putin and the Ayatollahs and Hamas and Hezbollah, don't.
And what do they do?
They keep doing it.
They keep harming Americans.
They keep targeting our friends in places like Israel.
Now, on China, what you've seen is Joe Biden trying not to reverse and name Donald Trump's policies because he knows that those are popular across a broad bipartisan spectrum of Americans.
But in practice, they've done everything they can to reverse those policies, not enforcing sanctions seriously, not updating those sanctions, not cracking down on nations that are transshipping Chinese steel or solar panels or other products that are being dumped in America and killing American jobs.
And most notably, again, with Taiwan.
I mean, four times Joe Biden has said we would defend Taiwan if China attacked it, only to have it walked back by anonymous White House aides within a few hours.
Kamala Harris has said nothing, even though she says she wants to be Commander-in-Chief in less than six months.
President Trump made it clear from the very beginning that people like Xi Jinping and the Ayatollahs and Kim Jong-un should not take any kind of aggressive action.
And what did we get again?
We didn't have war.
We had peace and stability around the world.
So I guess another point you mentioned, Israel, in that, you know, when pro-Hamas demonstrators interrupted Kamala, she had to speak from a script and really appease them.
What does that say to anyone watching right now exactly what her policies are going to be?
Again, I think we understand that, you know, she'll say and do anything it can to get elected, but that's sort of scary stuff, especially given the insanity of what we've seen there.
Well, I'm glad you noticed that, Don.
I'd point out two different contrasts.
The first time she got interrupted last week by pro-Hamas radicals, she didn't have a script and she shot them the evil eye.
And she said that they had had their time to speak.
And if they wanted to keep speaking, they were only helping Donald Trump get elected.
Otherwise, she was going to speak.
And all the other Democrats there applauded and clapped.
Note what she didn't say.
She didn't say, you are demented and crazy to be backing Hamas, which committed the worst atrocity against Jews since World War II.
She said,
That you talking is going to help elect Donald Trump.
In effect, agreeing with them.
Then a couple days later, I guess the high commander of her campaign had said, you know, that's too provocative.
That's too aggressive towards an important element of our party, the pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic wing of our party, whose votes we need.
So they literally, as you pointed out, had a script for her written, sitting on a piece of paper on her podium.
So when she was interrupted from giving her planned speech on a teleprompter, she could look down and start reading it.
And what did she say?
Again, she didn't say, what is wrong with you people?
You're supporting a bloodthirsty terrorist group that has the blood of Americans on its hands that's still literally today holding American citizens hostage.
She says, I hear your voice.
Your voice is important.
We need a ceasefire now, which is in effect, given conditions in Gaza, the pro Hamas position.
I can tell you that if you think Joe Biden has been weak over these last three and a half years, Kamala Harris would be much weaker and more dangerous as the commander in chief.
Well, I mean, it seems to me to be pretty clear that, you know, she didn't go with Shapiro of Pennsylvania simply because he's Jewish and that would just ostracize sort of the Hamas wing of her party and or voter base.
But that should be scary, I think, to a lot of Americans.
Yeah, it should be.
Anybody that cares about Israel, anybody cares about the strength and the safety of America and Americans around the world.
Look, by the end of this campaign or by the end of the vetting process, it was clear that Josh Shapiro and Tim Walz and Mark Kelly did not really have much difference on their views about Israel.
But you had those pro-Hamas elements in their party who had run a targeted campaign of dumping opposition research on Josh Shapiro.
We're good to go.
is an observant Jew who is raising his family and his kids to be observant and sending them to Jewish day schools.
Of course, there is one other big difference.
John Shapiro is the popular governor of probably the most important swing state.
Yet what did Kamala Harris do?
Go with the other guy.
Because she, I won't say that she caved in to the radical left of her party because she belongs to the radical left.
I'll simply say that she catered to them.
Yeah, I think that's right.
What do you think, what's the next country, Senator Cotton, or part of the world that we should be keeping our eye on as a possible hot zone?
Are there other growing conflicts that are happening sort of under the radar that we should be prepared for because it's not clear who's actually at the helm of America right now?
Well, I do think the most immediate risk of a broader war is in the Middle East.
I mean, as far as we know, Iran and Hezbollah could be getting ready to strike Israel tonight, because again, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have said now for two weeks after Israel concluded what was a very, very successful, almost miraculous effort at targeting
Terrorist leaders throughout the region that Iran should not do this.
But also Israel should tone it down.
They're escalating things.
They're being too provocative.
That's not what President Trump would have said.
He would have said what he did repeatedly, which is he stands with Israel.
And if Iran strikes Israel, we'll strike back with Israel three times as hard.
And again, what did you have?
Peace and stability.
Now, beyond that immediate threat, of course, the most dangerous and hottest potential flashpoint in the world is in the Western Pacific with Taiwan.
Which, as Douglas MacArthur said, it would be a disaster of the utmost significance if that island ever fell into the hands of a power hostile to the United States.
I do think, though, we shouldn't neglect our southern border and the threat we face there, a threat from drug cartels who are running fentanyl in the country and gang members, and also the number of foreign terrorists that are simply coming into Mexico and walking olly olly oxen free across our border.
Our border was secure, just like the world was stable and peaceful under President Trump.
It is an extremely dangerous place right now because of Joe Biden and his border czar, Kamala Harris.
Senator Cotton, for those who don't know, talk a little bit about just Taiwan, because, you know, people are like, oh, well, you know, it's just an island off, I mean, whether it's semiconductors, microchips, you know, everything else that's there, if China got a control of that, what risk does it pose to the United States that, you know, because it seems like that would be really significant, it's greatly overlooked, and I imagine
You know, China's probably always had a timeline for when they wanted to go do that, but I think watching this administration and a future Harris administration has rapidly accelerated whatever their timeline was for trying to take back Taiwan.
Sure, Don.
I get this question some in Arkansas as well.
Well, it's a small island.
It's so far away.
It's right next to China.
Is it really that big of a deal?
You know, the world didn't collapse when Chinese communists rolled into Hong Kong and suppressed the Hong Kongers' freedom and autonomy.
It's bad, but, you know, we're not in the middle of World War III.
Taiwan is simply different.
Most immediately, as you point out, Taiwan produces the world's most advanced microchips and in volume produces some of the largest volumes of microchips.
And if you tried to buy a pickup truck two or three years ago, you remember the long delays you had in part because of supply chain challenges with semiconductors.
If China went for the jugular in Taiwan, no matter what happened, you would have an immediate global recession, maybe a global depression, because at a minimum those factories would be pulled offline for probably months.
Likely they'd be destroyed and China doesn't have the ability to reconstitute them.
But maybe worst of all, if China succeeded,
and occupied Taiwan and those factories were still producing those microchips, then they could hold it over the United States and essentially blackmail us the way they have tried to do with other countries and other goods, the way they threatened to do with medical supplies and medicines during the coronavirus.
Second, Taiwan's geography makes it unique.
To go back to Douglas MacArthur again at the outset of the Korean War, he called it the unsinkable aircraft carrier and submarine tender.
Because it is strategically located between Japan and Philippines, two American treaty allies, because it's what another admiral called the cork in the bottle of the South China Sea through which almost half of global trade flows, control of that island by China would allow it to threaten American prosperity and safety and our allies in a way that it simply cannot do
While Taiwan is not under Chinese communist control.
What President Trump did, which is what other presidents had done since we switched our diplomatic recognition to mainland China in the 1970s, is maintain the peaceful status quo.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have threatened that
And they will continue to threaten if she wins this November.
So it's really hard to overstate just how important Taiwan is to America's security, to America's prosperity, and how ill-equipped Kamala Harris is to protect that.
So a breaking story tonight from RealClearPolitics said a Secret Service special agent partially responsible for developing the plan to secure the rally where my father was nearly assassinated is now under internal agency investigation for, quote, posting videos and photos from her protective assignments to social media, according to several sources within the Secret Service community.
I mean,
Senator Cotton, where do we go from here?
It feels like, you know, again, maybe I take this one a little bit more personally than most because it's my father, but, man, it's almost impossible to not talk about the insanity of everything we've seen and, you know, then also how quickly that disappeared from the news.
What are your thoughts on all of this?
Yeah, well, you should take it personally because your father and you know, we've talked about this before.
I want to join what you've said, what your dad has said, and recognizing the bravery and the skill of those officers who are around him in Butler, who have been protecting your family as well over the years.
They deserve much better leadership within the Secret Service.
I think that's very clear at this point.
One of the first things that President Trump should do once he takes office again,
is to look for a new dynamic outside leader who can come into the Secret Service and provide it with the leadership and cultural change that has been pretty clear that it's needed for some time.
I can tell you as someone who sits on the committees of oversight in the Senate, who's had a hearing with the acting director of the Secret Service since the director finally resigned, as he should have on day one, there's still a lot more questions than there are answers.
And the American people deserve those answers.
And of course,
President Trump and his family and his campaign team deserve those answers as well, because we came within a fraction of an inch of a terrible tragedy, not just for your family, but for our country, whatever your political beliefs are.
Any candidate for president should be able to go out, campaign, outdoors, around large crowds, and be protected by our Secret Service.
That's what those agents on the ground were doing.
That's what they deserve, leaders, to create the right kind of culture and conditions to allow them to do.
I agree.
Senator, what are the top priorities for you right now in the United States Senate?
Where can the GOP to go to, you know, stop the madness and really, I guess, retake control there?
Right now it's so, you know, it's essentially a tie, basically can't do anything.
What are your thoughts there?
What do we need to do there?
And how do we get, just get back some of that control?
Well, I got to tell you, the Senate is probably not going to be doing much more business for the election.
Chuck Schumer doesn't have us in session for more than about three weeks because he has so many vulnerable Democrats up for reelection.
So my focus over the next few months is really on the campaign trail for some of these great candidates, not so much on the legislative calendar, which, again, is very limited.
I've worked with candidates over the years.
I've kind of become the go-to person in the Senate for young veterans with families.
I got to know J.D.
Vance very well during the campaign.
He was a great candidate then.
I think he's proven to be a great candidate since your dad picked him to be the vice presidential nominee last month.
I got to know Tim Sheehy and Sam Brown.
Tim is running in Montana against Jon Tester, Sam in Nevada against Jackie Rosen, both outstanding candidates, highly decorated Purple Heart recipients who I think are going to win those Senate seats.
So if your audience wants to get off in addition to the presidential campaign, look at some of these Senate candidates we have around the country like Tim in Montana.
Or Sam Brown in Nevada, Bernie Marino in Ohio, Carrie Lake in Arizona, Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, Eric Hubdee in Wisconsin.
It is vital that we not just elect President Trump again, but that we give him a sizable Republican majority that can confirm his nominees and pass his agenda through the U.S.
Congress for the American people.
Again, the presidential race obviously is the biggest race of all, but President Trump really does need a workable governing majority in both the House and the Senate, and he knows that as well.
That's why you saw him, for instance, last week in Bozeman with Tim Sheehy.
It's really important that we win these Senate races.
Having worked with a lot of these candidates, given them advice behind the scenes, you know, on phone calls and text messages about how to deal with all the lying, dishonest Democratic attacks, I'm looking forward
Now that the kids are almost back in school to getting out on the campaign trail with them and being in places like Ohio with Bernie Marino and Montana with Tim Sheehy.
Yeah, no, I think that's so critical.
One thing I tell everyone is like, you know, we got to worry all the way down to dog catcher.
We got to get everyone there, take back our school boards.
You know, there's a part of me having been through this, and I think you saw some of this, you know, with my 50 hours of congressional testimony.
I don't want to win the presidency if you lose the House and you lose the Senate and you have
Four years of just, you know, whatever the next Russia, Russia, Russia will be, they'll probably just bring that back up and pretend like it's real again.
So yeah, we have to win these things across the board.
I think that's really critical that people get vested across the board in all of these races.
It's not just about the presidency, it's all the way down the ticket.
Yeah, and you're right, all the way down the ticket.
I mean, look what your dad has had to face because of elected DAs in New York City and Atlanta.
And there are other Republicans who are being persecuted by elected DAs, oftentimes funded by the George Soros machine.
They tried that in Little Rock as well.
Fortunately, we were able to beat them back.
But I encourage you all to take very careful looks all the way down the ballot.
As you say, all the way to dog catcher.
I'm sure the way they could elect Soros dog catchers and find a way to distinguish between Republican and Democratic dog owners.
By the way, they will.
They will weaponize it.
They will fund it greatly, and it'll be incredibly damaging to society.
But, Senator, a question I always ask, you know, if it's 12.01 p.m.
Eastern on Inauguration Day in January, what would your minute number one priorities be?
I think you have to focus on that day the things that President Trump can do on day one.
Obviously, for instance, there's going to be a major tax bill that's going to pass next year because a lot of the provisions of President Trump's very successful 2017 tax bill will expire next year, but that'll take some number of weeks or even months.
But on day one, President Trump can implement a lot of the policies that Joe Biden reversed on his day one that have endangered the country so badly.
Just consider what's happening at our border.
He can, for instance, reverse President Biden's asylum policies, re-implement the Remain in Mexico policy.
He can, in the meantime, before the inauguration, make it clear to foreign leaders that we expect them to take back their illegals that are their nationals.
Otherwise, there are going to be severe consequences to pay.
So there are a lot of things that President Trump can literally do on day one when he walks off the podium and into the Capitol to sign a lot of the documents necessary to formalize his inauguration and his nominees to the Senate.
That will begin to make a difference on day one for the American people.
Well, Senator Cotton, thank you so much.
Appreciate all your help.
I'm sure I will run into you on the campaign trail.
Really appreciate your time.
Thank you.
Thank you, Don.
Great to be on with you.
Look forward to seeing you on the trail.
Likewise.
Likewise.
Guys, stick around.
I'm going to make myself available.
We'll do some live Q&A.
Maybe what I'll do is if you're on Locals, I can pull that up as well simultaneously.
I'll do some of those.
That way I get to all those questions.
I'll take some of yours.
Obviously, a lot going on in the buildup about an
All right.
Uh, let's see.
Going on question-wise.
So, we will pull up locals.
Uh, guys, make sure you are liking, sharing, and subscribing, okay?
Hit the like button right now.
I see how many people are watching.
I see how many likes there are.
They are not the same.
Uh, get that going.
That's a big part of it.
Also, if you have a smart TV, you can get the Rumble app on your smart TV.
That way you can watch this at home with your families.
The vast majority of the time, I keep it reasonably clean that you can have all your kids watching, so I will try to keep it that way for the most part, but you can check it that way.
Also, if you have your friends, if they get their podcasts on Spotify or Apple Podcasts rather than here on Rumble,
We're good.
So guys, if you're on Locals, I'm up on there simultaneously as well.
I'll take some of the questions here while some of those guys, I see they're typing now.
I'll try to get some of these questions.
Alex Soros can't even spit out ascendants at the Global Forum.
It doesn't really matter.
I don't know.
Hey, they outrace us, you know, umpteen times to one.
And that's why it's as close as it is.
And you have the media pretending that those guys are great and that the people they have in there are excellent.
And so it's a really important thing.
That's why we can't have apathy.
It's why we can't sit back.
It's why we have to get after it and be in there.
Hey Don, why isn't the iconic J13 iconic photo being sold as merchandise on his official website?
I don't know.
I mean, I imagine they should.
They've got to figure out how to license that photograph.
It's probably from a hostile media source that does not want to license it.
Magically, now it'll be for political purposes.
But, you know, it's probably one of these bureaus that is left-leaning and they do work with the media.
And maybe they'll license it.
I've heard in some cases they licensed it and then they want to stop new licenses of it because they don't want it to be used.
That's the problem with these things.
That's how it works.
Uh, it's how they're able to hide this thing and, uh, get it out there.
Dal76, can you address the comments about Raskin about planning 14th Amendment with Trump on January 6th, insurrection, even though it was never charged with the same?
Uh, sorry if you've already addressed.
I didn't address it as specifically as it relates to the 14th Amendment, but that's the Democrat, you know, they're not sure if they'll let Trump become president even if, uh, he wins and
This is what we're up against.
You know, the hypocrisy.
Everything they said we did wrong, whatever it is.
They're more than happy to do those things because we're playing different games.
We're playing... I mean, we're playing t-ball.
They're playing fast-pitch hardball with professionals that are just much more vicious about us.
So, it's a scary thing.
But yeah, they're gonna try to do whatever they can.
They will do...
Uh, whatever possible.
And if we call him out on it, they'll say, no, no, no, it's different somehow magically than what we were saying the last time around.
It's, it's, it's insane.
Um, Trump should post his iconic photo every day on his ex account without saying a word.
Do you know how many will repost it to generate traffic, Dapper Dave?
Um, yeah, no, that's true.
Um, but I think what we got to do is we just got to talk policies.
We just, if we put out our policies versus their policies, not the policies that they steal that are ours, that are contrary to everything they've put up there, everything that they've done, everything, you know, that they've said, they're going to do that.
They're going to just try to copycat.
Like, you know, they're going to basically throw on a MAGA hat on Kamala Harris and pretend like she's going to do all these things.
Like, why didn't she do them?
She was gonna lower prices?
Why didn't she do them?
I mean, she's the vice president of this administration, and candidly, we don't think Joe Biden's actually in charge, so theoretically, she's the most powerful person in government.
Why didn't she do them?
Oh, now she's gonna be a border czar and close down the border?
Why didn't she do it while she was the border czar?
It's sort of insane, but yeah.
Mike Miglio, yeah, we can't have apathy.
That's it.
You're right.
Zero apathy.
This is not over.
There's no game they won't play.
There's nothing out there that we just got to go all the way to the end, not take anything for granted.
Raysosa20, JD absolutely owning everyone in MSM.
It's my new favorite show.
Yeah, I mean, he did all the Sunday shows and absolutely crushed it.
So listen, as someone who went sort of all in on J.D.
to get him in that spot, I think it's incredible.
And, you know, I feel vindicated every day, frankly, that he's out there crushing it like that, because that's that's a huge deal.
And he's doing what the other side should be doing.
And he's doing it in a way when they try to throw this Trump stuff against him.
He's not taking the bait.
He's not selling them out.
He's been absolutely perfect.
So, super psyched about this decision.
I always was, but am even more each and every day.
USS Abraham Lincoln, Georgia, head to Middle East as Israel braces for Iran attack.
Fox News National correspondent Jeff Paul reports on U.S.
firepower in the Middle East ahead of an expected Iranian attack on Israel and continued ceasefire negotiations on special report.
Yeah, you know, guess what?
We could have had more peace deals in the Middle East.
Instead, we have never-ending wars.
You have a choice.
This election coming up, it's sort of binary.
It's like one or the other.
It's not like kind of the same.
Like you have America first or America last.
You have never-ending wars or no wars.
You have war or peace, really.
You have economic prosperity for Americans or not.
Uh, you've seen that.
Again, I mean, Kamala Harris herself has said Bidenomics is working.
All of those policies have worked.
Today, the press secretary got on the podium of the White House and said, there's no light between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Well, as my father put on Twitter, I'll maybe, I'll look it up exactly because he posted this.
I reposted it, but he's 100% right.
I'll let me find out exactly what he said.
So someone doesn't say I'm making it up, but he said,
Are you better off now than when I was president?
Our economy is shattered.
Our border has been erased.
We're a nation in decline.
Make the American dream affordable again.
Make America safe again.
Make America great again.
And that's right.
Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
The answer is no.
Whether it's war, whether it's inflation, whether it's the economy, whether it's fentanyl, whether it's our border, there's not a place that we're better off.
It's so obvious.
So I hope he addresses some of that actually with Elon tonight and gets into the details of it.
But if you go just point by point,
You know, major policy by major policy, they're opposite.
And one was good for America, and the other has been an abject failure.
So, you know, make sure to check that out.
L.E.K., will Trump's interview with Musk be in video and audio?
You know what?
I think so.
I think it's going to be live on my father's, on his Twitter handle, RealDonaldTrump.
So check out my father's actual, you know, X handle.
I think it's going live on there.
I saw him setting up, so I think it is video and audio, not just audio.
But I could be wrong.
I was over there when they were setting it up early, so I'm not 100% sure.
But he's going on live in an hour, exactly an hour from now, with Elon Musk.
So that should be pretty interesting, and we'll check it out.
Let's see.
Great info from Senator Cotton.
My question was the Trump campaign hack bad?
Will Trump campaign be able to prosecute for the stolen campaign information?
I'm confused about that story.
I'm actually at the comfort of joy.
I'm still trying to figure that one out myself.
Doesn't seem like it's all that bad.
Obviously, it seems like the media is going to try to leak all of that stuff, so brings up a whole different question of, you know, can the media leak things hacked by foreign governments and then given to them?
I imagine if this was the Biden administration, you'd say no and they wouldn't do it, but
It's Trump, so they'll let him get away with it.
Yeah, it's a crazy thing.
So I don't actually know all the details yet.
I've been a little bit busy with all the other things.
That was a good one, actually.
Yeah, if Harris could have resigned if she was so against Joe Biden's policies.
Yeah, that's true.
And yet we played the compilation earlier in my intro.
Bidenomics is working.
She's on board.
There was no, you know, there's even today.
According to Corinne Jean-Pierre, Vice President Harris, there's no light between her and Joe Biden on these policy issues.
So that seems like a big deal.
It seems very contrary to everything that Kamala Harris is out there saying, but she's saying these things because the media will run with it.
She's saying these things because no one's, you know, holding them accountable.
And so, you know, that's a big deal.
This will be a greatest moral and patriotic resurgence in American history.
God bless Trump Sr.
I don't see any other way forward.
Let's MAGA again.
Thanks, Mike Miglio.
Appreciate it.
Please ask your dad to stop the petty name calling.
That's interesting.
You know, I, listen, I, uh, you know, I, I think maybe that's right.
I think the reality is this.
I think you have to attack back when you're attacked and that's what they do to him.
It's not fair.
It's not real, whatever, but we got 86 days left.
We just gotta fight on the policies.
We gotta point out these things.
The name-calling could be a distraction.
Just lets the other side say, look at this, look at that.
You know, some of the low-information voters that just hear those things or hear the thing clipped.
You know, it's the one negative thing said in a 90-minute speech.
My father makes fun of someone.
They say, look, this is what he's doing.
You know, it could be policy after policy after policy after policy after policy.
It doesn't matter.
That's what they hear.
You know what?
I'm a fan of fighting back.
I'm a fan of hitting back.
It's sort of what I do.
But maybe that's what it is.
Let guys like me do that and he can stay on point.
You probably achieve the same thing.
And I think there's probably a lot of truth to that.
Because by the time it's manipulated by the media, by the time they focus only on that and not the real things behind it, people who are not paying as much attention, I could see them getting just simply distracted and or turned off by that.
So I think
You know, that's something that matters.
I don't think you're wrong, actually, in this case.
I think, you know, in 16 it's different.
All these kinds of things.
Let's see.
I understand what the media is doing.
I understand they're looking for any excuse to talk about anything other than Kamala Harris or those policies or that.
I don't want to give them the tinder to start that fire because I know exactly what they're going to do.
So I don't actually disagree.
I love the name calling here.
Four with flowers, I guess it is something, but fine.
Listen, I don't mind it as well.
I find it amusing, but I think with 86 days, the way some of this is shaping up, the way the media is so flagrantly just like doing something I've never actually seen before, you know, listen, I think, I think there's a, it's something we could do.
Your father's great.
He tells it like it is.
That is true.
That is 100% true.
But again, we got to remember what others will do with that.
And again, we can't pretend that we're in a fair fight, right?
Will there be another rally anywhere in New Jersey or close enough to the Princeton area?
Donnie's girl idea.
You're not that...
You're so not better off, by the way.
Also, yeah.
Now, I don't know.
I imagine there'll be stuff close by in Pennsylvania.
You know, obviously, Princeton, pretty close to that sort of eastern border of PA.
So I imagine there'll be some stuff there.
But I don't know specifically yet.
I don't, you know, again, a lot of these things are sort of picked up.
Hey, you see the data, you make a move, you make a plan.
You don't necessarily plan them, you know, a month in advance, because frankly, you just don't know where things are gonna be.
There's gonna be certain things.
Pennsylvania, you know you're gonna be there.
Places like Jersey, you don't.
I don't know.
Will there be any rallies in SoCal, L.E.K.?
I don't know.
Probably fundraising for sure.
So we gotta figure that out, but again, sort of the same thing.
Maybe, maybe not.
BTW Jones, 10% of the people clicking like is typical.
Those with weirdo ratios probably buy some of them.
I'm not sure what we're talking about there in terms of clicking, but
Oh, talking about the likes?
Yeah, no, I get it.
I'm not saying it's wrong.
I'm just saying, hey, the better we do, the more likes we have, the more people like the stuff, the more other people will likely see it, the more it gets prioritized by Rumble and others.
So, you know, that's what we got to do.
So that's important.
So how's your dad, you know, going on the onslaught of falsehoods from George Stephanopoulos, going to spew against him on the September 10th debate?
That, I don't know.
You know, he's gonna have to be prepared.
She will not have to be prepared.
She'll have to just be able to say whatever she wants, and she won't get fact-checked, and people will believe it, and there'll be no fact, you know.
It's just different.
We understand that.
We can't pretend we're in the same fight.
We can't be bitter about it.
We can't waste energy pretending it.
Like, it just, it is what it is.
You don't even know what Low Energy Jeb's real name is.
That was the last time Trump, the Unifier, Don Jr., J.D.
Vance, the attack dogs.
Yeah, I think we can do that.
And I think J.D.'
's been able to actually do a little bit of that both, right?
He trolled, he can walk up to the Kamala Harris plane, ask the press there, you know, hey, you guys look lonely, you've been bored, you haven't been able to ask any questions, so we'll take, you know, we'll take some time for you.
Vivek has some good advice.
No, I think Vivek has some great ideas and some great advice.
And I think, you know, I like that we're actually starting to form, you know, a bench for the future, not just one person that you're relying on entirely.
I think that's really important.
So that's a big deal.
Let's see.
TJTJR.
I know you know this.
Trust nobody and verify all.
Marine Corporal 1985.
Oh, don't you worry.
This is no longer my first rodeo, folks.
This is not 16.
I'm not naive.
I've understood it.
I've seen most of it myself.
And what I haven't seen myself, I've got to experience second because they've tried to do it to my father.
So I understand all of that.
And we don't take any of it for granted.
So I really appreciate it.
Kamala posted on X and I replied with these screenshots.
His name calling has a purpose, the secretary meaning to.
Some of it, some maybe, but not always.
Sometimes it's just name calling.
So we got to figure out the right one.
But, uh, let's see.
I don't know how JD made it through the crowd to be pressed.
Yeah.
Trump boat parade on Lake George, New York this weekend.
I know.
I think there's one in Jupiter down here by me.
I got to make sure I can be there.
It'd be kind of hard for me to sit that one out if I'm around, but we'll try to figure that out now.
Are you doing any shows with Tucker on his tour?
I think I am.
Guys, do we know the date?
I know I committed.
Tucker asked me and I was like, yeah, sure.
I definitely committed to at least one, maybe more.
I don't know.
I talk to him all the time.
So the answer is yes.
I am doing one of the Tucker tour stops.
I can't remember which one.
I will find out and let you guys know certainly before it happens.
Otherwise, it's probably up on his page somewhere.
But he's great and he asked me to do something and I said sure.
Obviously, I'm running around like a crazy person between now and
Uh, election day, but, uh, always happy to help that.
You know, that's just a great voice for our movement, for freedom, uh, for sanity.
Uh, and so, uh, that that's a big one.
September 28th in Jacksonville, Florida.
So that's when I'm doing a Tucker event.
So if you guys are in Jacksonville, Florida on September 28th, go up there, check it out.
Maybe I'll have to do something for the show, you know, live from there, guys.
Because I think that could be fun.
Yeah, I think we're going to do that.
Good idea.
If not, we got that out of it.
So yeah, September 28th in Jacksonville, me and Tucker Carlson.
That'll be really fun.
Trump campaign needs to bombard the airways with Univision and Spanish Channel.
They're mostly Catholic commercials with...
Democrat trans LGBTQ agenda, that's true.
That's a good idea.
I think they're doing some stuff, but yes, the problem is oftentimes leadership over there is very skewed.
Leftist, even if the average sort of Hispanic family is not.
And so they do a lot of the fear mongering there.
Sometimes they probably won't even accept our ads, but we definitely have to break out because I think that's a demographic that's really breaking our way right now and is a big deal.
I think with that guys, uh, I'm gonna go home because I gotta go grab some stuff and eat before the Tucker interview.
I'm gonna go, uh, or sorry, the Elon interview.
I'll be probably commenting on that live, uh, just from my Twitter feed.
Should be a lot of fun.
I will see you guys on Thursday.
A lot of other stuff going on behind the scenes.
I will get to them when I can.
I think today was a really good day, by the way.
