Guy, I remember her. | |
I've never heard of Nick. | ||
What is that? | ||
Americanism, not globalism. not globalism. | ||
We'll be our freedom. | ||
I've never heard of Nick. | ||
What's that? | ||
We'll be right back. | ||
We'll be right back. | ||
will be our queen. | ||
Hey, what's going on everybody? | ||
You're watching America First. | ||
My name is Nicholas J. Flint. | ||
It's a great show tonight. | ||
We're watching the second GOP presidential debate. | ||
And it's already live now, so I'm gonna just kick it over here. | ||
Yeah, this is gonna be great. | ||
I'm really excited. | ||
$4,000 a month. | ||
Unfortunately, it had been cut to $1,000 a month. | ||
We must make sure that we honor the commitments that we make. | ||
And one of the ways that we do that, do not overpromise and then underdeliver and leave the taxpayers on the hook. | ||
I'll say this. | ||
Joe Biden should not be on the picket line. | ||
He should be on the southern border working to close our southern border because it is unsafe, wide open, and insecure, leading to the deaths of 70,000 Americans in the last 12 months because of fentanyl. | ||
It is devastating. | ||
Every county in America is now a border county because fentanyl has devastated Americans in every single state. | ||
I will also say 6 million illegal crossings since Joe Biden has taken office. | ||
And he eliminated Title 42. | ||
The one thing he should do is finish the wall, reinstate Title 42, and get the job done. | ||
I can promise you that we are going to have a lot of questions on the border and immigration, but in the meantime we do want to talk about the economy and especially about this strike for just a moment. | ||
She looks like shit. | ||
Mr. Ramaswamy, you've said you really empathize with the strikers. | ||
Is that Megyn Kelly? | ||
Senator Scott, do you agree with what he said? | ||
unidentified
|
No way. | |
No, that's not her. | ||
I agree with some of what he said, for sure. | ||
I like the spirit of it. | ||
I'll say that I don't have a- What's- okay. | ||
unidentified
|
Come on, Rumble. | |
A lot of patience for the union bosses. | ||
unidentified
|
What's going on, Rumble? | |
all. | ||
Latency issues. | ||
What's going on? | ||
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
Bro. | ||
What's the deal? | ||
You know what? | ||
If I... | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Oh my... Oh! | ||
Oh, what? what? | ||
Oh, my. | ||
Put people back to work by no longer paying them more money to stay at home. | ||
unidentified
|
Is it on YouTube as well? | |
Stabilize the US dollar itself and rescind a majority of those unconstitutional federal regulations that are hampering our economy. | ||
That is how we unleash American exceptionalism. | ||
And that's not a Democratic vision or a Republican vision. | ||
That is an American vision that we embrace economic growth and capitalism is still the best system known to man to lift us up from poverty and we should not apologize for it. | ||
That's what it means to be an American. | ||
Is that Megyn Kelly, though? | ||
unidentified
|
I can't tell. | |
I don't think so. | ||
Dana Perino, that's right. | ||
unidentified
|
General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis make 336 times the number of rank-and-file workers. | |
That's just part of a wider income inequality trend in the country. | ||
The richest 1% now controls one-fifth of all income. | ||
Vice President Pence, last week you said you side with American workers. | ||
She looks like shit. | ||
unidentified
|
She's all about that. | |
He looks rough! | ||
these companies operate which is it well thank you for the question i want to thank uh univision and fox business for assembling such a wonderful wow look i do disagree with something scotter said joe biden doesn't belong on a picket line he belongs on the unemployment line i mean look i'm from the second leading manufacturing estate in the country per capita I was governor of the state of Indiana. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
We brought 12,000 factories back to America during... He looks like shit. | ||
Whoops. | ||
...our administration. | ||
I know something about manufacturing. | ||
He looks like a ghoul. | ||
And I gotta tell you, while the union bosses are talking about class warfare and talking about disparity in wages, I have to tell you, I really believe what's driving that is Bidenomics has failed. | ||
Wages are not keeping up with inflation. | ||
Auto workers and all American workers are feeling it. | ||
Families are struggling in this economy. | ||
And Joe Biden's Green New Deal agenda is good for Beijing and bad for Detroit. | ||
We ought to repeal the Green New Deal, get rid of the mandates and subsidies that are driving American gasoline, automotive manufacturing into the graveyard. | ||
And beyond that also, As President of the United States, I'll be standing with workers all across America, and I'll be standing for the right to work of every American, to join a union or not join a union, as they decide. | ||
unidentified
|
Senator Scott, you were mentioned. | |
Will you care to respond? | ||
There's no doubt that Joe Biden needs to be fired. | ||
That's why I'm running for president. | ||
I look forward to being the next president of the United States. | ||
I will also say I know America can do for anyone what she's done for me. | ||
It's why we're focusing on restoring hope, creating opportunities, and protecting the America we all love. | ||
Growing up in a single-parent household, No. | ||
I wonder if the American dream would work for a kid in the inner city. | ||
I've got good news for every single child, whether you're in the inner cities of Chicago or the rural parts of Iowa. | ||
America and the dream, it is alive, it is well, and it is healthy. | ||
God bless these United States of America. | ||
unidentified
|
What an idiot. | |
I think we need to look at exactly what happened. | ||
Biden showed up on that picket line. | ||
But why are those workers actually there? | ||
It's because of all the spending that he has pushed through in the economy that's raised the inflation. | ||
So when you look at the fact that we are paying higher gas prices, higher grocery prices, $7,000 more a year for families, what we need to do is I came out with an economic plan, eliminate the gas and diesel tax so that they have more money in their pocket. | ||
Let's focus on going after middle America and cutting taxes for middle America and collapsing those brackets. | ||
Let's get rid of unfair distortions like the state and local tax that they give to wealthy people in blue states and not in paid by red states. | ||
And let's make sure we make the small business taxes permanent. | ||
They only made those temporary. | ||
They made the corporate taxes permanent. | ||
Let's focus on what it takes to get more cash in the pockets of workers. | ||
That's when we'll be able to deal with strikes like this, not sitting on a picket line like Joe Biden is. | ||
unidentified
|
Why are you even here? | |
We have other questions to get the answers always lower taxes every problem We're missing the point in every other network is missing the point the reason why people are straight Interference with capital markets and with free markets The subsidies, we're subsidizing the automakers and we're subsidizing the cars, and a particular kind of car, not every car, but particularly we're subsidizing electric vehicles. | ||
And when you decide that we're going to take all of your taxpayer monies, take a billion dollars, subsidize a certain type of vehicle, and the batteries come from China, China controls 85% of the rare earth minerals, they're called rare earth because they're measured in parts per million. | ||
China is moving 100,000 pounds of earth in Indonesia, in Africa. | ||
They're literally destroying the planet so that we can make a battery that's in a car subsidized here. | ||
That's why they're striking, because they need two-thirds less workers to build an electric car. | ||
unidentified
|
Joe Biden, this strike is at Joe Biden's feet. - We're going to keep the topic of economy, but allow me to follow the question. | |
Why do they have to have someone that doesn't speak English moderate? | ||
She doesn't even speak English. | ||
Why do they have someone that doesn't speak English moderate? | ||
The EOP? | ||
Okay, man. | ||
We're having a lot of trouble tonight, huh? | ||
With this? | ||
in D.C. | ||
They get sent down there to do the job and they... | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, man, we're having a lot of trouble tonight, huh? | |
With this? | ||
Eldon, they're... | ||
Oh, my gosh. | ||
The spot they're in now, because none of them are willing to tell the truth. | ||
None of them are willing to take on the difficult issues. | ||
They just want to keep kicking the can down the road. | ||
And the inflation that Nikki spoke about is absolutely right, and it's caused by government spending. | ||
And that's why people all across this country are suffering tonight. | ||
And yet we don't get any answers because Joe Biden hides in his basement and won't answer as to why he's raising the debt the way he's done. | ||
And Donald Trump, he hides behind the walls of his golf clubs and won't show up here to answer questions like all the rest of us are up here to answer. | ||
He put $7 trillion on the debt. | ||
He should be in this room to answer those questions for the people you talk about who are suffering. | ||
And if the government closes, and if the government closes, it's to the blame of everyone in Washington, D.C. | ||
who has failed to do their job and just plays to the grandstand. | ||
unidentified
|
The next question is for Governor DeSantis. | |
Can we please respect the time? | ||
Governor DeSantis, you haven't spoken. | ||
This is embarrassing. | ||
The people in Washington are shutting down the American dream with their reckless behavior. | ||
They borrowed, they printed, they spent, and now you're paying more for everything. | ||
They are the reason for that. | ||
They have shut down our national sovereignty by allowing our border to be wide open. | ||
So please spare me the crocodile tears for these people. | ||
They need to change what's going on. | ||
And where's Joe Biden? | ||
He's completely missing in action from leadership. | ||
And you know who else is missing in action? | ||
Donald Trump is missing in action. | ||
He should be on this stage tonight. | ||
He owes it to you to defend his record, where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt. | ||
That set the stage for the inflation that we have now. | ||
I can tell you this, as governor of Florida, we cut taxes, we ran surpluses, we've paid down over 25% of our state debt, and I vetoed wasteful spending when it came to my desk, and as your president, When they send me a bloating spending bill that's going to cause your prices to go up, I'm going to take out this veto pen and I'm going to send it right back to them. | ||
Ilya, you mentioned me and the question. | ||
A prop. | ||
unidentified
|
And the smile. | |
A prop. | ||
unidentified
|
And the trademark smile. | |
I know that you've been thinking about it because child care costs. | ||
They are topping $10,000 per month. | ||
Some families are spending up to half of their income on child care. | ||
And they're having to decide, is it worth it for me to work, or does it not make sense for me financially? | ||
In three days, the billions of dollars in pandemic-era funding is going to end, and 70,000 daycares could close. | ||
So you had an effort to broaden eligibility for child care assistance. | ||
That fell apart last year. | ||
And for the moms and dads out there who are worried, What can you tell them if you weren't able to get it through the Congress? | ||
How could you do it as president? | ||
Certainly one of the things I did as a member of Congress was to make sure that we protected the Head Start programs around the country, giving people the opportunity to pick and choose the place that they send their children. | ||
The challenges that we see today under the Biden administration is that the cost for daycare has gone over $15,000 per child. | ||
And the Build Back Broker Plan, he called it a Build Back Better plan. | ||
unidentified
|
Stop! | |
Stop with that, please! | ||
Booper! | ||
unidentified
|
Rupert! | |
Oh my gosh. | ||
unidentified
|
Booper, Rupert. | |
Stop with that, please. | ||
The way we fix that problem is to make sure that we actually cut taxes and get more Americans our money back. | ||
When I help write the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we actually lower a single mother's taxes by 70% on the federal level. | ||
for dual income households by 60%. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Then we went a step further. | ||
We doubled the child tax credit and made it refundable. | ||
By doing that, more parents had more resources to make the decisions how to take care of their family. | ||
The one thing we should do is let the American people keep their money. | ||
When that happens, the greatest opportunities rise from the ashes. | ||
- I need to jump in here. - 15 seconds, go ahead. | ||
And then we're going to the border. - Ilya mischaracterized a part of my view. | ||
I think this artificial division is unhelpful in our party. | ||
The real divide is not between the Republicans on this stage, and in the Reagan library, I want to say these are good people on this stage. | ||
Always the Reagan library. | ||
The real divide is between the majority of us in this country who love the United States of America and share our founding ideals. | ||
Free speech. | ||
Meritocracy. | ||
The idea that you get ahead in this country, not in the color of your skin, but in the content of your character. | ||
And the fringe minority in the Democrat party that has a chokehold over that party. | ||
That's the real divide. | ||
unidentified
|
So this populist versus classical debate is artificial. | |
We need to unite this party. | ||
unidentified
|
We are going to talk about immigration. | |
We have all these questions. | ||
We're going to get to you. | ||
We're going to come back to you. | ||
There's a lot of time. | ||
When you asked about child care, nobody answered the question. | ||
In North Dakota, we knew that the cliff was coming. | ||
We knew that there was going to be millions of people without it. | ||
And so guess what? | ||
We planned. | ||
unidentified
|
We passed legislation. | |
Oh my god. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh man. | |
Oh my god. | ||
you some questions but you're gonna have to let us move on we are going to the board infrastructure in 1984 president ronald reagan said the following idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and who have lived here even though some time back uh they they may have entered illegally debate sucks later It sucks. | ||
She doesn't speak English! | ||
None of these people are gonna win. | ||
She doesn't speak English. | ||
I'm not going to win. | ||
She doesn't speak English. | ||
Fuck Ronald Reagan. | ||
unidentified
|
As governor of a non-border state in 2010, you supported a path to citizenship. | |
But when you ran for president in 2016, you flipped, saying immigrants should be tracked like FedEx packages. | ||
Where do you stand now on a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants? | ||
The problem is that since no one has done anything since we first had this discussion 13 years ago, we're not in a position to be able to do any of that anymore. | ||
What we have to do now is first treat this like the law enforcement problem it is. | ||
Our laws are being broken every day at the southern border. | ||
Every day. | ||
And Joe Biden and his crew is doing nothing about enforcing that law. | ||
They are letting it go. | ||
And by the way, they announced during the presidential race they were going to let it go. | ||
And we need to have a president who acts like I did as governor enforce the law first and foremost. | ||
And that means what I'll do on day one is sign an executive order to send the National Guard to partner with Customs and Border Patrol to make sure that we stop the flow of fentanyl over the border, but also to make sure that we send a much different message. | ||
We want you here in this country to fill the 6 million vacant jobs we have, but only if you come here to follow the law, and only if you come here legally. | ||
If you come here illegally, we will apprehend you, and we will send you back across the border from which you came. | ||
And the fact is that until we set a law and order agenda in this country, not only now, but in the future, we won't be able to continue this. | ||
And I'll tell you this, Donald Trump failed on this as well. | ||
He said he was going to build a wall across the whole border. | ||
He built 52 miles of wall and said Mexico would pay for it. | ||
Guess what? | ||
I think if Mexico knew that he was only going to build 52 miles, they might have paid for the 52 miles. | ||
Most illegal immigrants are coming from countries south of the border. | ||
You've seen the Fox News drone. | ||
It's captured the steady stream of people coming into the country on a daily basis. | ||
In fact, I believe we have a live picture of it tonight. | ||
That is happening right now, live. | ||
In the last decade, the U.S. | ||
has spent nearly $55 billion to address the root causes of migration. | ||
But crime, poverty, and corruption, they persist, and the number of migrants Is only growing. | ||
Are we wasting our money? | ||
Well, what happens is when Joe Biden waved the green flag, it told everybody to come. | ||
And now we've seen six million people cross the border. | ||
We've had more fentanyl than have killed Americans in the Iraq, Vietnam, or Afghanistan wars combined. | ||
We need to make sure that we are a country of laws. | ||
The second we stop being a country of laws, we give up everything this country was founded on. | ||
So we have to secure the border. | ||
The way we do that is, first of all, defund sanctuary cities. | ||
You see what's happening in Philadelphia right now? | ||
It's got to stop. | ||
We need to make sure we put 25,000 more Border Patrol and ICE agents on the ground and let them do their job. | ||
I spent 400 miles down that border, and I'm telling you, Border Patrol agents aren't allowed to do their job. | ||
Let's go back to remain-in-Mexico policy. | ||
Instead of catch-and-release, let's go to catch-and-deport. | ||
What about the aid that federal taxpayers are paying to deal with the root causes? | ||
It's not working? | ||
The only aid that we should be spending right now is to secure the border, the southern border, the northern border, period. | ||
We need to keep Americans safe, and right now Americans are not safe. | ||
Only when we fix the immigration system, only when we get the border secure, should we ever look at putting any more money into this. | ||
Our money should be about keeping Americans safe. | ||
We're not doing that. | ||
Joe Biden's not doing that. | ||
And you mentioned Congress and shutting down government. | ||
I'll make it clear. | ||
We have to change the budget process in four years. | ||
In 40 years. | ||
Congress has only delivered a budget on time four times in 40 years. | ||
If they don't keep the government open, they should not get paid. | ||
No pay, no budget. | ||
That's the way we should be. | ||
unidentified
|
Governor DeSantis, Governor DeSantis, we have a question for you. | |
Governor DeSantis, China invested $12 billion in Latin America just last year. | ||
They signed strategic partnerships with seven countries, including Mexico. | ||
And China's military ties to the region now include arms sales and training exercises. | ||
Are you comfortable with China deepening ties with our southern neighbors? | ||
Of course not. | ||
And the reason why we're in this mess is because elites in DC for far too long have chosen surrender over strength when it comes to the CCP. | ||
Some people in our country got rich. | ||
Our industrial base got hollowed out, and they have been able to build the second most powerful military in the entire world. | ||
We need a totally new approach to China. | ||
We are going to have real hard power in the Indo-Pacific, like Reagan, to deter their ambitions. | ||
We're going to have economic independence from China, where we're decoupling our economy. | ||
And we are going to go after the cultural power they have in this country. | ||
As governor of Florida, I ban the CCP from buying land in our state. | ||
We should do that all across these United States. | ||
We shouldn't have them in our universities. | ||
We shouldn't have Confucius Institutes. | ||
So you see a country in decline, our power's in decline. | ||
China's going to surpass us this decade, and if they do that, that's going to affect every single American household. | ||
As your president, I am not going to let that happen. | ||
I'm going to reverse this country's decline. | ||
We are going to choose strength, not surrender, when it comes to the CCP. | ||
unidentified
|
America is not a country in decline. | |
Under Joe Biden, we are a country in retreat. | ||
unidentified
|
If you propose, quote, universal deportation for all undocumented immigrants and their children, even if the children are citizens of the United States, under what legal premise will you expel U.S. | |
citizens? | ||
So the first thing I want to say is I agree with everything. | ||
The Republicans on the stage are on the right side of this issue. | ||
Militarize the southern border. | ||
Stop funding sanctuary cities. | ||
And end foreign aid to Mexico and Central America. | ||
To end the incentives to come across. | ||
But I do go a step further. | ||
You're right about that, Ilya. | ||
Let's go. | ||
I favor ending birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal immigrants in this country. | ||
Now the left will howl about the Constitution and the 14th Amendment. | ||
The difference between me and them is I've actually read the 14th Amendment. | ||
What it says is that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the laws and jurisdiction thereof, are citizens. | ||
So nobody believes that the kid of a Mexican diplomat in this country enjoys birthright citizenship. | ||
Not a judge or legal scholar in this country will disagree with me on that. | ||
Let's go. - Oh. | ||
That was sweet. | ||
doesn't enjoy birthright citizenship, then neither does the kid of an illegal migrant who broke the law to come here. | ||
And as the father of two sons, it is hard for me to look them in the eye and say, you have to follow the law when our own government fails to follow its own laws. | ||
That's how we really go the distance and solve this problem and restore the rule of law in the United States of America, because that is part of what it even means to be an American. | ||
unidentified
|
Senator Scott, you oppose ending birthright citizenship. | |
Great policy, but he could have said that better. | ||
Yeah, there's no doubt the fact that when you think of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment, it was certainly written as it relates to slavery, not as it relates to illegal immigration. | ||
It's been applied to illegal immigration. | ||
So the challenge that we face is in fact one that has to do with whether or not the people that come here are under the jurisdiction of our laws. | ||
And frankly, if you come here illegally, you are not. | ||
No, surviving a Supreme Court argument is something I can't tell you, but from a perspective of the Constitution, I think it's simple, that clearly it was designed for slavery and not for illegal immigration. | ||
I'll go one step further, though. | ||
When we have a conversation about the things that are happening on this stage, we think about the fact that Vivek just said we were all good people, and I appreciate that, because last debate, he said we were all bought and paid for. | ||
And I thought about that for a little while. | ||
I can't imagine how you could say that knowing that you were just in business with the Chinese Communist Party and the same people that funded Hunter Biden millions of dollars was a partner of yours as well. | ||
This is nonsense. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not nonsense. | |
Wow. | ||
He's weak, dude. | ||
These are good people who are tainted by a broken system. | ||
And it's not the fault of anybody who's involved. | ||
Some of us aren't tainted. | ||
Excuse me. | ||
Excuse me. | ||
Thank you for speaking while I'm interrupting. | ||
Literally. | ||
While I'm speaking. | ||
Literally. | ||
You said by the people. | ||
If I may finish. | ||
Gentlemen, you can't be on both sides. | ||
Gentlemen, you'll have your turn. | ||
One of the challenges. | ||
unidentified
|
He's weak. | |
He can't. | ||
We know we've done this in China. | ||
Everybody knows that. | ||
If I may address. | ||
Let's focus on holding Joe Biden accountable. | ||
That's what we need to be. | ||
I actually agree with Ron DeSantis. | ||
unidentified
|
Everybody speaks at the same time. | |
No one can understand your message. | ||
So if I may. | ||
I agree with Ron DeSantis on China. | ||
When every other CEO expanded into the Chinese market. | ||
You know what I did with my first company? | ||
We opened a subsidiary in China. | ||
But you know what I did that was different than every other company? | ||
We got the hell out of there. | ||
And when I started my next company... Yeah, right before you ran for president. | ||
unidentified
|
...strive, right when I don't, that's years ago... ...strive to compete against BlackRock. | |
Excuse me, to compete against BlackRock, I made a commitment that we would never do business in China. | ||
unidentified
|
And I will say something... You have more than time to explain yourself. | |
Well, I was interrupted by a lot of people here, and I want to be respectful, because I believe these are good people, but I do not believe in these... We're sitting here in the Reagan Library, in the honor of Ronald Reagan's library. | ||
If I may, Tim, from one admirer of Ronald Reagan to another, from one admirer of Reagan to another, we cannot see... Let's have a policy debate. | ||
This isn't productive. | ||
I want to hear about that. | ||
Let's have a policy debate. | ||
We can't understand what's going on. | ||
Let us have a policy debate. | ||
Wow. | ||
Let's have a policy debate. | ||
And the right answer is we need to declare independence in China, and I will see that through. | ||
unidentified
|
Vice President Pence, in 2017, the Trump administration canceled DACA, which put the legal status of 600,000 DREAMers in the hands of the courts. | |
DREAMers work, and they pay taxes. | ||
As president, if the Supreme Court ends DACA, would you work with Congress to reach a permanent solution for DREAMers? | ||
Well, first let me say I'm glad Vivek pulled out of his business deal in 2018 in China. | ||
That must have been about the time you decided to start voting in presidential elections. | ||
So, we're nice to have you participating in elections. | ||
So, let me speak to this issue. | ||
Number one, I negotiated the Remain in Mexico policy with the Mexican government. | ||
We used economic power to bring the Mexican government to the table. | ||
We built hundreds of miles of border wall. | ||
And despite what's said here today, we reduced illegal immigration and asylum abuse by 90%. | ||
And as President of the United States, I can do it again. | ||
And the truth is, we need to fix a broken immigration system, and I'll do that as well. | ||
But first and foremost, a nation without borders is not a nation. | ||
And we have to secure the southern border of the United States of America. | ||
I know how to do it, and we will do it again. | ||
Let me say one other thing about China. | ||
Let me say one other thing about China. | ||
unidentified
|
Shut up. | |
Would you negotiate with Congress to give a solution to the problem that dreamers have right now? | ||
They are on a limbo. | ||
Well, let me tell you, I served in Congress for 12 years, although it seemed longer. | ||
But, you know, something I've done different than everybody on this stage is I've actually secured reform in Congress. | ||
You know, Ron, you talk a really good game about cutting spending, but you've increased spending in Florida by 30 percent. | ||
When I was a member of Congress in 2006, right after. | ||
Notice how he dubbed the question about the dreamers. | ||
We stood our ground. | ||
I led House Conservatives. | ||
We cut $100 billion out of the federal budget. | ||
It can be done, but as I said in the last debate, I'll say again, this is no time for on-the-job training. | ||
None of that is good. | ||
on day one to get Congress to step up, secure the southern border of the United States, build a military fitted to our times, and we're going to get spending in Washington, D.C. under control. | ||
None of that is good. | ||

The other side of this break, and I propose to go to a break, how will these candidates make America safer as rising crime craves our cities? | |
This debate sucks. | ||
And the first reason it sucks is because none of these people are going to win. | ||
Like, none of them even have a chance, other than Ron DeSantis. | ||
I guess. | ||
What a joke. | ||
And the moderators can't maintain control. | ||
I mean, just from a logistical point of view, this debate's already a disaster and a complete farce. | ||
Honestly, though, just like the last debate, it just goes to show that without Trump, this is what we have. | ||
Trump came out in 2016 and flipped the script. | ||
You know that. | ||
You remember what people were saying in 2016? | ||
The same stuff they're saying now. | ||
In the same place! | ||
The second, the second GOP presidential debate in 2015 was at the Reagan Library. | ||
And it was the same, it was roughly the same crew with the same message, and that was low taxes, Reagan's awesome, rebuild the military, this kind of thing. | ||
And it's been 8 years since then? | ||
8 years since 2015? | ||
Probably almost to the day, because I think that debate was in September 2015. | ||
So it was literally 8 years ago. | ||
And Trump came in and said, no, we're going to actually build a wall on the border and we're going to stop free trade and we're going to end all the wars. | ||
And he won! | ||
That was the message that got him the nomination. | ||
It won him the general election. | ||
That's the message that flipped Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. | ||
And eight years after that, it's right back to where we started. | ||
It's right back to the same deal, which is everybody on the debate stage, all they can talk about is immigration. | ||
Or, I'm sorry, not immigration. | ||
Taxes. | ||
And the only thing that they learned from Trump, if you'll notice, there was an article that was written about this a few years ago, I think it was from The Atlantic, and they said, well, the one thing that everyone took from Trump was anti-China. | ||
There was a big article, I forget, I think it was during his first term. | ||
They said basically, well Trump isn't wrong on everything, because after the Trump election, basically everyone in Washington D.C. | ||
flipped and they all became China hawks. | ||
And so really that's the only evidence that Trump ever existed. | ||
That's the only artifact from the entire Trump era, from beginning until present, At least from what you can see on the debate stage with all the other prominent National Republicans, is that they're anti-China. | ||
Otherwise, it's all the same garbage. | ||
And like, that was a perfect example. | ||
Mike Pence got asked about the DREAMers. | ||
He got asked about DACA, and he answered a different question. | ||
Then they asked him again, well, what would you do with the Dreamers that are in legal limbo? | ||
That they're technically undocumented status, they're illegal aliens. | ||
At the same time, they're in this deferred action program, you know, so what are you going to do with these guys? | ||
And Mike Pence makes a lame joke about how Congress sucks, you know, because big government sucks. | ||
And then he pivots to attack DeSantis on the debt. | ||
unidentified
|
And says, well how are you going to cut the debt when you raise the spending of Florida? | |
And you want to know why he did that? | ||
Because he is going to legalize the Dreamers. | ||
Because he wants to legalize and give a pathway to citizenship to the DREAMers. | ||
That's why. | ||
If he didn't, he would use that opportunity to say very strongly, I'm going to deport the DREAMers, or I'm going to take away their DACA status. | ||
Because that's all that's maintaining it. | ||
There's no law in Congress that says they can be here. | ||
It's an executive action. | ||
So, you know, all these people that are watching and they're cheering for this, it's like all they are offering on the debate stage is so-called fiscal conservatism. | ||
Capitalism rocks. | ||
Cut the taxes. | ||
Rebuild the military. | ||
Rebuilding the military is bullshit. | ||
We spend more on the military every year, and the military sucks. | ||
The military sucks because there's no industrial ecosystem. | ||
You need factories. | ||
You need skilled labor. | ||
You could spend $800 billion like we do now. | ||
It doesn't fix the military. | ||
Russia still outproduces us in ammunition tanks, all of the above. | ||
So, in other words, these people have no solutions. | ||
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: We have a lot of this problem in our country, and Fox News and others have been covering it. | ||
Governor Christie, crime in major cities is striking fear into the hearts of Americans. | ||
Just last night, looters took over the streets of Philadelphia. | ||
You said in the last debate that you would use U.S. | ||
attorneys to prosecute crimes local prosecutors won't. | ||
But they are stretched as well, and they could not handle all of the lawlessness, the shoplifting, all the carjackings, the armed robberies. | ||
They're all surging. | ||
Progressive prosecutors were elected by their constituents, and they can't be fired by a president. | ||
So what would you do to end the revolving door of criminality? | ||
Well, look, Dana, I'm the only one on this stage who's done it. | ||
For seven years, I ran the fifth largest office in this country, at the U.S. | ||
Attorney's Office in New Jersey, and we set records for the number of prosecutions that we brought that still have not been broken. | ||
This guy is insufferable. | ||
And the reason was that we went after the crime that was affecting people's lives. | ||
I'm just so sick of seeing this guy's fat face. | ||
I will appoint an Attorney General and instruct that Attorney General that you are to put all the resources that are necessary to bring our cities back under control. | ||
The fact is, they will be stretched. | ||
There's no doubt about that. | ||
But that's what they take the job for, because they love the idea of enforcing the law. | ||
We've got to bring law and order back to this country. | ||
And not just in our cities. | ||
But we need law and order back everywhere. | ||
We need law and order back in our suburbs. | ||
People are threatened there. | ||
We need it in our rural areas. | ||
People feel threatened there. | ||
And we need it in Washington, D.C. | ||
also. | ||
And Donald Trump should be here to answer for that, but he's not. | ||
And I want to look at that camera right now and tell you, Donald, I know you're watching. | ||
You can't help yourself. | ||
I know you're watching. | ||
Okay? | ||
And you're not here tonight, not because of polls, and not because of your indictments. | ||
You're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on this stage and defending your record. | ||
You're ducking these things. | ||
And let me tell you what's going to happen. | ||
You keep doing that, no one up here is going to call you Donald Trump anymore. | ||
We're going to call you Donald Duck. | ||
Donald Duck? | ||
So we're back to Drumpf. | ||
We're back to that. | ||
Donald Trump? | ||
More like Duck. | ||
Donald Duck. | ||
So we're back to Trump. | ||
We're back to that. | ||
Donald Trump? | ||
More like Duck. | ||
More like Duck. | ||
Well, the crime in these cities is one of the strongest signs of the decaying of America. | ||
We can't be successful as a country if people aren't even safe to live in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco. | ||
Just being in Southern California over the last couple days, my wife and I have met... | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
They're not. | ||
They're not. | ||
have been mugged on the street and that would have never happened 10 or 20 years ago. | ||
In Florida, we back the blue. | ||
We support the men and women of law enforcement. | ||
They are keeping us safe. | ||
We have a 50 year low in the crime rate. | ||
They're not. | ||
They're not. | ||
unidentified
|
They're facilitating the migrants moving into the refugee centers. | |
I removed them from their posts and the people of Florida are safer as a result of it. | ||
As As president, I will use the Justice Department to bring civil rights cases against all of those left-wing Soros-funded prosecutors. | ||
We're not going to let them get away with it anymore. | ||
We want to reverse this country's decline. | ||
We need to choose law and order over rioting and disorder. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh dude, the smile every time! | |
What is this camera doing? | ||
What is it doing? | ||
unidentified
|
Is this a drone? | |
There's a nationwide policing shortage. | ||
Retirements are up. | ||
What is this camera doing? | ||
Is this a drone? | ||
Three years ago, you signed a pledge to support law enforcement. | ||
That was funny. | ||
unidentified
|
Now, pledges are a nice idea, but what's your actual plan to get more police on our streets? | |
Well, and I actually did it in South Carolina, too. | ||
You know, what we knew in South Carolina was you take care of those who take care of you. | ||
When I was governor, I did it. | ||
We have to start taking care of law enforcement, but it's not just taking care of them with words. | ||
It's making sure that you also follow through on what they do. | ||
Right now, we have a lot of stolen guns on the street. | ||
Well, these law enforcement officers, they arrest these people, and then they go and they're let out the very next day. | ||
So law enforcement feels like no one has their back. | ||
We have to start prosecuting according to the law. | ||
We have to make sure we have the backs of law enforcement, and we have to make sure that we're a country of law and order. | ||
But I want to go back to China because I don't think we spent enough time on that. | ||
Right now, we have to look at what government's doing to hurt us against China too. | ||
You have a company, U.S. | ||
Antibiotics. | ||
Thank you, Stuart. | ||
is amoxicillin, the number one antibiotic that we need. | ||
And right now there is a company in Bristol, Tennessee that produces that, yet our federal government only gets it from China. | ||
We need to be focusing on companies that produce in America and supporting those companies that produce in America, not companies that are helping China. | ||
unidentified
|
Governor, we will be talking foreign policy later. | |
Thank you, Stuart. | ||
We're going to stay in the topic of crime because it affects all of Governor Burgum, for the first time ever, a Univision poll found that mass shootings and gun safety are one of the most important issues for Latino voters. | ||
Mental health concerns are not unique to the United States, but gun violence is. | ||
What is your specific plan to curb gun violence? | ||
Well, first we need to understand is I think that the liberal left seems to be just completely bent on prosecuting law-abiding citizens that are gun owners, because every solution they have to this is take away the Second Amendment rights of Americans, and somehow that's going to solve the problem. | ||
But all these cities that we're talking about that you showed the videos of tonight, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country. | ||
So we know that that's not what's working. | ||
What we have to do is get back to the core issues about the family. | ||
We have to get back to behavioral health and mental health. | ||
We've got to get back to actually enforcing the law, as these people talked about. | ||
And like we've done in North Dakota, where we've got the goal and we're on the track to be in the most military-friendly state in the nation. | ||
We've got the most military and the most support of what we're doing in terms of law enforcement, because the morale is down because we've been defunding the police, because they've been attacked in the press. | ||
The police have become the bad guys when they're the one. | ||
There's all these jobs available in America. | ||
Why would you be a policeman if people don't even respect them? | ||
Every time I see a policeman, the first thing I say is, thank you. | ||
And so does everybody else in my family and most of the people in our state, because they know we have to respect the people that are out there defending us every single day. | ||
Can I answer the question? | ||
I'm not sure you can. | ||
unidentified
|
Dude! | |
Mr. Ranaswamy, according to Customs and Border Protection, about 90% of fentanyl is ceased at official border crossings. | ||
Oh, dude, she doesn't even speak English. | ||
Are U.S. citizens. | ||
How would you stop fentanyl brought into the country, mostly by U.S. citizens, through ports of entry? | ||
There's two sides to this, and we have to be very honest about it. | ||
One is we do have to seal that southern border. | ||
Building the wall is not enough. | ||
They're building cartel-financed tunnels underneath that wall. | ||
Semi-trucks can drive through them. | ||
We have to use our own military to seal the Swiss cheese of a southern border. | ||
But we also have to be honest. | ||
There's a demand-side problem in this country, too. | ||
A mental health epidemic. | ||
I met family in Iowa, two parents, Kathy and Derek. | ||
They lost their son, Sebastian, 17 years old. | ||
He bought Percocet on Snapchat, and then he died. | ||
Why did he die? | ||
Because it was laced with fentanyl. | ||
That is closer to bioterrorism, not a drug overdose. | ||
That is poisoning. | ||
So it is our job to make sure that never happens. | ||
But it's also our job to make sure that 17-year-olds don't turn to Percocet via Snapchat. | ||
We have to bring back mental health care in this country, not with pumping pharmaceuticals. | ||
But with faith-based approaches that restore purpose and meaning in the next generation of Americans. | ||
Many of them are getting it through social media. | ||
And this isn't a Republican point or a Democrat point. | ||
But if you're 16 years old or under, you should not be using an addictive social media product, period. | ||
This is something that we can both agree on, and we can revive both the mental health of this country while stopping the fentanyl epidemic that will kill more people this year than who died on 9-11. | ||
And I refuse to be a passive bystander sitting in the White House like the hollowed-out husk of a current president we have. | ||
We will step up and address this problem to stand for Americans and our children. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, that's a creative point, but it's like, talk about the border. | |
I'm going to use the US military to go after the Mexican drug cartels. | ||
They are killing our people. | ||
And the stories that I've seen in Florida, we had an infant, 18 months, parents rented an Airbnb. | ||
And apparently the people that had rented it before were using drugs. | ||
The infant was crawling. | ||
The toddler was crawling on the carpet and ingested fentanyl residue. | ||
And died. | ||
Are we just going to sit here and let this happen, this carnage happen in our country? | ||
I am not going to do that. | ||
So I guarantee you on day one, this border is going to be a day one issue for me as president. | ||
We're going to declare it a national emergency. | ||
Yes, we'll build the wall. | ||
We'll do Remain in Mexico. | ||
But those Mexican drug cartels are going to be treated like the foreign terrorist organizations that they are. | ||
All right, I'm going to go to Vice President Pence. | ||
All right, Vice President Pence. | ||
We're going to move on to a different issue. | ||
unidentified
|
Hold on, sorry. | |
Vice President Pence. | ||
Just last month, Vice President Pence, you said if elected you would repeal all Obamacare mandates. | ||
However, you also made that same promise in 2016. | ||
And at that time, Trump-Pence had congressional majorities for at least the first two years. | ||
And you did not deliver on that promise. | ||
So Obamacare, right now, it is more popular than ever. | ||
Why should Americans trust you, if you become president, to fix that? | ||
Or is Obamacare here to stay? | ||
Well, first let me speak to the mass shootings issue, and then I'll answer that question. | ||
It's an important one, Dana. | ||
Look, I'm someone that believes that justice delayed is justice denied. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Did he cry? | ||
father of three is the grandfather of three beautiful little girls. | ||
unidentified
|
Ha! | |
I am sick and tired of these mass shootings happening in the United States of America. | ||
And if I'm president of the United States, I'm going to go to the Congress of the United States and we're going to pass a federal expedited death penalty for anyone involved in a mass shooting so that they will meet their fate in months, not years. | ||
It is unconscionable. | ||
No applause. | ||
Eat shit. | ||
He really thought he was cooking right there. | ||
He thought that everyone was gonna go. | ||
He thought he did something. | ||
Eat shit. | ||
It doesn't even matter. | ||
unidentified
|
Everyone was going to go. | |
That's not justice. | ||
We have to mete out justice and send a message to these would-be killers that you are not going to live out your days behind bars. | ||
You're going to mete justice in this system. | ||
It doesn't even matter. | ||
Most mass shooters kill themselves. | ||
unidentified
|
Wait, what did she say? | |
To live out your days behind bars. | ||
You're gonna meet justice in this system. | ||
But does that mean Obamacare is here to stay? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Yeah, Bob. | ||
Well, thank you for reiterating the question, because I'd love to answer it. | ||
Look, I think it's one of the choices here. | ||
You know, my former running mate, Donald Trump, actually has a plan to start to consolidate more power in Washington, D.C., consolidate more power in the executive branch. | ||
If I'm president of the United States, It's my intention to make the federal government smaller by returning to the states those resources and programs that are rightfully theirs under the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. | ||
That means all Obamacare funding, all housing funding, all HHS funding, all of it goes back to the states. | ||
We'll shut down the Federal Department of Education. | ||
We'll allow states to innovate. | ||
We're going to revive federalism in America, and states are going to help bring America back. | ||
These people have no ideas. | ||
unidentified
|
It's just Reagan and Trump. | |
You're going to repeal Obamacare? | ||
unidentified
|
I feel libertarian, Reagan shit. | |
It's just got to go. | ||
It's got to go. | ||
The libertarian Reagan shit, it's just got to go. | ||
It's got to go. | ||
We need fascism. | ||
unidentified
|
We need big government. | |
Can Americans trust you on this? | ||
Well, I think this is a symptom of our overall economic decline. | ||
Everything has gotten more expensive. | ||
You see insurance rates are going through the roof. | ||
People that are going to get groceries. | ||
I spoke with a woman in Iowa and she said, you know, for the first time in my life, I'm having to take things out of my grocery cart when I get to the checkout line because the total goes up so quickly. | ||
It's true. | ||
This is very real, and people are hurting out there. | ||
So we've got to address the underlying problem with Bidenomics, the overspending, taking all Biden's rules and regulations. | ||
I'm going to throw them in the trash can on day one. | ||
You're not going to have to worry about that. | ||
We're going to open up all our energy. | ||
We will be energy dominant in this country. | ||
That will lower your gas prices. | ||
And what we need to do with health care is recognize our health care is putting patients at the back of the bus. | ||
We have big pharma, big insurance, and big government. | ||
And we need to tackle that and have more power for the people and the doctor-patient relationship. | ||
Our state's a dynamic state. | ||
We've got a lot of folks that come. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course, we've had a population boom. | |
Our state's a dynamic state. | ||
We've got a lot of folks that come. | ||
Of course, we've had a population boom. | ||
We also don't have a lot of welfare benefits in Florida. | ||
You know, we're basically saying we want to—this is a field of dreams. | ||
You can do well in the state, but we're not going to be like California and have massive numbers of people on government programs without work requirements. | ||
We believe you work, and you've got to do that. | ||
And so that goes for all the welfare benefits. | ||
And you know what that's done, Stuart? | ||
Our unemployment rate is the lowest amongst any big state. | ||
We have the highest GDP growth amongst any big state. | ||
And even CNBC, no fan of mine, rank Florida the number one economy in America. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not it. | |
We're moving on. | ||
On the topic of health care, Governor Haley, health care is the leading cause of bankruptcy for American families accounting for two-thirds of all personal bankruptcies. | ||
Federalism, cut the taxes. | ||
unidentified
|
That's not it. | |
It's not it. | ||
We're an empire. | ||
First of all, how can we be the best country in the world and have the most expensive health care in the world? | ||
We have an issue. | ||
My mom was in the hospital. | ||
And when she was in the hospital, they tried to bring her a couple of Tylenol. | ||
And she said, I don't need it. | ||
And they said, honey, go ahead and take it because you're paying for it anyway. | ||
Why is it that when we got the bill, the insurance company and the hospital negotiated the bill for her without her having anything to do with it? | ||
When I am president, we will break all of it. | ||
From the insurance company, to the hospitals, to the doctor's offices, to the PBMs, to the pharmaceutical companies. | ||
We will make it all transparent. | ||
Because when you do that, you will realize that's what the problem is. | ||
Second thing is you've got to deal with tort law. | ||
The lawyer—the doctors don't give you the 10 tests because they want to. | ||
It's because of the 90 percent chance they'll get sued. | ||
And then we need to bring competition back to healthcare, get rid of certificate-of-need systems, and make sure that they can compete. | ||
We have to put the patient in the driver's seat. | ||
They've been in the backseat for way too long. | ||
And once we give the patient the ability to decide their healthcare, deciding which plan they want, that is when we will see magic happen. | ||
But we're going to have to make every part of the industry open up and show us where their warts are, because they all have them, and we need to fix this on behalf of the American people. | ||
unidentified
|
Governor Burgum in 30 seconds. | |
Do you have a better way in 30 seconds? | ||
Well, yes, we're not talking about the real problem ever. | ||
We talk about why do we have the most expensive healthcare in the world? | ||
It's because the federal government got involved the same way they did with EVs, and they said, "We're going to subsidize a particular kind of software back in 2008 under Obama, and And they said, hey, we're going to do this. | ||
It's going to make everybody more productive. | ||
All of you that are watching have been to a doctor's office when the doctor's got his back to you and their hands on a keyboard. | ||
The only industry in the world that's ever absorbed $1 trillion of IT and became less productive, they saw less patients per day, is U.S. | ||
healthcare, because they were subsidizing a certain kind of technology. | ||
It wasn't about improving healthcare, it was about picking winners and losers. | ||
Every time the federal government's involved, whether it's higher education, healthcare, or now the auto industry, things get more expensive and less competitive. | ||
This is an area I actually agree. | ||
I do think that you gotta introduce more competition and transparency. | ||
Yeah, like I said, if you pay attention, you notice that they all have the same answers for everything and it's the same answers we've been hearing for 45 years. | ||
No matter what the question is, the answer is always the same. | ||
The answer is always deregulate, cut taxes, Shrink the government. | ||
Like, no matter what the question is. | ||
Mike Pence has asked about the Dreamers and he pivots to, well, you know, I cut spending. | ||
He's asked about Obamacare. | ||
The 10th Amendment, you know, it's like they're pleading the 10th instead of pleading the 5th. | ||
Oh, just send it back to the states. | ||
Federalism, you know, no matter what. | ||
Cut regulations, you know, lower prices. | ||
And the point is, is there's other problems in the country other than economic problems. | ||
And the thing is, the state is going to play a role. | ||
The state is one of the biggest economic entities in the country. | ||
It's the biggest employer. | ||
It's the biggest spender. | ||
It's going to be a part of it. | ||
And so, you know, not every problem can be solved by cutting taxes. | ||
Don't get me wrong, I think that we should cut taxes and I think that in most cases deregulation is a good thing. | ||
At the same time, there are other problems, like trade. | ||
How are you going to talk about the American economy today without talking about trade? | ||
How can you talk about jobs and revenue and those sorts of things without talking about tariffs and trade? | ||
You know, in other words, the economic problem in our country is not that there's too many regulations, although there are, or that there's too much taxation, although there is. | ||
The problem is that no matter how you cut it, it's cheaper to put your business in China. | ||
And even when they say that they're going to fight China, what's happening now is that China is just pushing its factories into other countries. | ||
It's putting its factories in Vietnam or Indonesia. | ||
And so China will, they'll send stuff to Indonesia and Vietnam and then those countries send it to America. | ||
And that way it looks like China's exports are going down when in reality they're just finishing the product in those places. | ||
The business is still China's. | ||
And anyway, the point is because of the trade system, we don't build anything here and now we don't make anything. | ||
So our economy is this... it's a fake economy. | ||
What powers the economy in America... | ||
Is insurance, finance, it's the financialization of the economy. | ||
So that's why it's 85% services, 15% anything that's actually productive. | ||
And all of that has to do with trade, as opposed to taxes. | ||
And so when you hear these people say these things, they're speaking on behalf of the major firms. | ||
The major firms want to have it this way. | ||
The major firms want to have all their business in Asia or in Mexico. | ||
That's another one. | ||
China's putting a lot of its factories in Mexico. | ||
The major firms in America want to have all their industry in China or Mexico or India or Vietnam or Indonesia. | ||
They also want to pay less taxes in America. | ||
They also want to deal with less regulation in America. | ||
Point is, either way, they're a mouthpiece for these major firms to make money. | ||
The real, like, America First agenda would be to say, We're gonna put high tariffs on Chinese products or other products so that we can build them here. | ||
We want to have a skilled workforce in America. | ||
Same thing with the military. | ||
Whenever they say rebuild the military, they're always saying spend more money. | ||
The problem now though is we just don't have the factories to build what we need to build. | ||
Russia, if you look at this war in Ukraine, Russia can build many multiples of what we can per year in terms of ammunition, tanks, whatever it is. | ||
We need a lot of the materials from China and a lot of the parts from China to build our radar systems, our optics systems, our planes. | ||
You got to bring that back here and the only way to do that is to build the skilled workforce and the only way to do that is to put tariffs up to make sure that we're not putting all the jobs overseas and all the factories and manufacturing overseas. | ||
And, you know, that's going to require big government. | ||
And you can fund the government that way. | ||
Tariffs can fund the government. | ||
And if you bring industry back that's productive, you know, again, then you can tax that, and that funds the government, and then that builds the military. | ||
But none of these people want to talk about an agenda like that. | ||
It's always this neoliberal financialization stuff where it's like, we just need the rich that put the jobs over there to just pay less taxes when they live here. | ||
And that's not a solution. | ||
Governor Haley, American students, they are in academic trouble. | ||
They have lower scores in math and reading, there's chronic absenteeism, that's at record highs, and this has even been called education homicide. | ||
You say school choice is the answer, but South Carolina, your home state, still has not enacted universal school choice, and even the current expansion won't be fully implemented until 2027. | ||
Parents can't wait four years for a fix, so what would you do right now? | ||
Well, and school choice isn't the only answer, but I'll tell you it's not out of a lack of trying that we didn't try and get school choice in South Carolina. | ||
What I'll tell you, first of all, is we have to acknowledge the fact that 67% of our 8th graders are not proficient in reading or math. | ||
Over 80% of our 8th graders aren't proficient in history or civics. | ||
And recently they came out and said our 12 and 13 year olds are scoring at the lowest levels they've been scoring in reading and math in decades. | ||
So the first thing we've got to do is we've got to make sure we catch our kids back up. | ||
We have to make sure they can read. | ||
A child that can't read by third grade is four times less likely to graduate high school. | ||
We need to do reading remediation. | ||
We need complete transparency in the classroom. | ||
No parent should ever wonder what's being said or taught to their child in the classroom. | ||
We need to make sure that we have school choice so that there's competition. | ||
We need to move all the programs from the federal government down to the states and let states decide what education looks like in their states. | ||
And we need to start building things in America again. | ||
Let's put vocational classes back in our high schools, and let's get our kids building the things that we know that we can make. | ||
When we start to focus on that and really bring in that parental involvement, that's when we'll start to see a difference. | ||
But we've got to get parents back included. | ||
We've got to quit spending time on this DEI and CRT and instead focus on financial literacy, on digital literacy, and on making sure that our kids know what they need to do to have the jobs of the next generation. | ||

On the subject of education, a question for Governor Christie. | |
Students in your state are getting high marks on their report cards, but minorities are not doing well with math and reading. | ||
Black and Hispanic students are averaging 29 points lower than white students in New Jersey. | ||
Would you address minorities first? | ||
You have to address all students. | ||
And look, in our state, Stuart, frankly, before I was governor, that gap was close to 50%. | ||
And what we did was institute more charter schools and more Renaissance schools and more public school choice in New Jersey with innovative solutions in cities like Camden, where now we took what was the worst school district in America during my time. | ||
And we have now increased that by nearly 40% in terms of their proficiency. | ||
It can be done when you give people choice. | ||
But let's tell the truth to everybody about what this is. | ||
This public school system is no longer run by the public. | ||
It is run by the teachers unions in this country. | ||
Randy Weingarten and her crew are absolutely strangling. | ||
are absolutely strangling. | ||
They are taking the worst of their members and defending them rather than advocating for our kids. | ||
They are taking the worst of their members and defending them rather than advocating for our kids. | ||
And when you have the President of the United States sleeping with a member of the Teachers Union, there is no chance that you could take the stranglehold away from the Teachers Union every day. | ||
They have an advocate inside the White House every day for the worst of their teachers, not for our students to be the best they can be. | ||
A President of the United States has to take on the Teachers Union. | ||
I did it in New Jersey, and I will do it as President of the United States. | ||

Governor DeSantis, I have a question for you. | |
Governor DeSantis, I have a question for you. | ||
Florida's new black history curriculum says, quote, slaves develop skills which in some instances could be applied for their personal benefit. | ||
You have said slaves develop skills in spite of slavery, not because of it. | ||
But many are still hurt. | ||
For Descendants of Slaves, this is personal. | ||
What is your message to them? | ||
So first of all, that's a hoax that was perpetrated by Kamala Harris. | ||
We are not going to be doing that. | ||
Second of all, that was written by descendants of slaves. | ||
These are great black history scholars, so we need to stop playing these games. | ||
Here's the deal: our country's education system is in decline because it's focused on indoctrination, denying parents' rights. | ||
Florida represents the revival of American education. | ||
We're ranked number one in the nation in education by U.S. | ||
News & World Report. | ||
My wife and I, we have a six-, five-, and three-year-old. | ||
This is personal to us. | ||
We didn't just talk about universal school choice, we enacted universal school choice. | ||
We didn't just talk about Parents' Bill of Rights, we enacted the Parents' Bill of Rights. | ||
We eliminated critical race theory, and we now have American civics and the Constitution in our schools in a really big way, just like President Reagan asked for in his farewell address back in 1989. | ||
Florida is showing how it's done. | ||
We're standing with parents, and our kids are benefiting. | ||
- Mr. President, you opposed to these new standards, what is your message for Governor DeSantis? - There is not a redeeming quality. | ||
He and Kamala. | ||
That is so funny. | ||
That is hilarious. | ||

|
Oh man. | |
Bro, they're black. | ||
suffered because of slavery, but we've overcome that. | ||
We are the greatest nation on earth because we faced our demons in the mirror and made a decision. | ||
So often we think that all the issues, you talk about crime and education and healthcare, we always think that those issues go back to slavery. | ||
Here's the challenge though, black families survive slavery. | ||
unidentified
|
We survived poll taxes and literacy tests. | |
We survived discrimination being woven into the laws of our country. | ||
What was hard to survive was Johnson's Great Society where they decided Oh really? | ||
unidentified
|
Is that why? | |
I don't think that's what's talking about. | ||
where they decided to take the black father out of the household. | ||
I don't think that's what's talking about. | ||
And you can now measure that in unemployment, in crime, in devastation. | ||
If you want to restore hope, you've got to restore the family, restore capitalism, and put Americans back at work together as one American family. | ||
Our nation continues to go in the right direction. | ||
It's why I can say I have been discriminated against but America is not a racist country. | ||
Never ever doubt who we are. | ||
We are the greatest country on God's green earth and frankly the city on the hill needs a brand new leader and I'm asking for your vote. | ||
Republicans love a black guy saying he loves America. | ||
Black guys say he loves America. | ||
They just go crazy for that. | ||
I have to be very clear about this. | ||
Transgenderism, especially in kids, is a mental health disorder. | ||
We have to acknowledge the truth of that for what it is. | ||
I met two young women early in this campaign. | ||
Parents have the right to know. | ||
And you know what the hypocrisy of this is? | ||
Even New Hampshire failed to actually get past a piece of legislation here. | ||
The very people who say that this increases the risk of suicide are also the ones saying that parents don't have the right to know about that increased risk of suicide. | ||
And I'm sorry, it is not compassionate to affirm a kid's confusion. | ||
That is not compassion, that is cruelty. | ||
I met two young women, Chloe and Katie, early in this campaign, who are in their 20s, now regret getting double mastectomies and a hysterectomy. | ||
One of them will never have children. | ||
And the fact that we allowed that to happen in this country is barbaric. | ||
So I will ban Genital mutilation or chemical castration under the age of 18, and parents have absolutely the right... Would you try to pass a federal law that says parents should have that right? | ||
This is just bullshit. | ||
We're going to watch. | ||
States absolutely have to follow that through. | ||
We stand for parental rights, yes. | ||
She's just like trying to derail him. | ||
You do not have a law that says parents can't be notified. | ||
But you want to be president. | ||
Would you try to pass a federal law to say parents have that right? | ||
I think this is a state's issue, but I do want to say something, because all night long we've been talking about issues about how it's broken in Washington, and I respect all of the people on the stage here for their hundred plus years of public service. | ||
Thank you. | ||
But the reason why we're not talking about education or health care or safety being a problem in North Dakota is because we have a business leader. | ||
I've got more experience as a business leader than I think this whole group combined. | ||
I know I've created more jobs than everybody else on stage. | ||
Thousands of high-paying jobs that have real meaning. | ||
So as a business leader, you come in and you treat the taxpayer like a customer. | ||
So in North Dakota, instead of fighting with the teachers unions, we actually created a K-12 coordinating council. | ||
Everybody gets in the room and the customer is the student. | ||
But you do understand that this is an issue that many people in America really are concerned about, worried about, about parents and notification and schools. | ||
Yes, and that's why we have 50 platforms of innovation. | ||
That's why we have states. | ||
There are certain things the federal government is supposed to do. | ||
It's not the Department of Education. | ||
That needs to be assembled. | ||
We've got to move it back to states. | ||
Do what we did in North Dakota. | ||
Instead of like, oh, here's a choice school and here's an old school, the old way with a teacher's union and the kids are trapped. | ||
We made every school in North Dakota an innovation school. | ||
Every school got out from under the red tape. | ||
And the things that help teach the values that we're trying to get, like 4-H, like FFA, like Boy Scouts. | ||
They can get credit for all of that stuff in North Dakota. | ||
And by the way, North Dakota is now at the top of the median SAT scores in the country, right now. | ||

Vice President Pence, the Department of Homeland Security warns that violence against LGBTQ plus people is on the rise and intensifying. | |
According to a recent study, members of that community are nine times more likely to be victims of violent hate crimes. | ||
As President, how would you protect this community from violent attacks and discrimination? | ||
Well, as President of the United States, I'll stand up for the safety and the civil liberties of every American, from every background. | ||
And I want the American people to know that. | ||
But I want to answer the question as well, Dana, that you just asked Doug Burr. | ||
Because by way of full disclosure, Chris, you mentioned the President's situation. | ||
My wife isn't a member of the Teachers Union, but I've got to admit, I've been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years. | ||
Full disclosure, education is a state and local function. | ||
The state of Indiana had one of the very first school choice programs in the country. | ||
And when I was governor of the state of Indiana, we doubled it. | ||
And as to your question, Dana, let's be very, very clear. | ||
It reminds me a lot of, like, Midwestern people. | ||
When the Linmar Community Schools in Iowa had a policy where you could have a permission slip from your parents to get a Tylenol, but you could get a gender transition plan without notifying your parents. | ||
I weighed in with the foundation. | ||
That's not bad policy. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
We're going to stand up for the rights of parents, and we're going to pass a federal ban on transgender chemical or surgical surgery anywhere in the country. | ||
We've got to protect our kids from this radical gender ideology agenda, and we've got to empower parents at the state level with the ability to choose where their kids go to school, whether it's public, private, parochial, or homeschool. | ||
You empower parents, and our schools will straighten up and reflect our values and focus on the basics, faster than you could possibly imagine. - Next subjects. | ||

|
Really? | |
Governor DeSantis, you say companies like Google and Meta have too much power. | ||
Doesn't going after them give China an edge? | ||
No, I think you look at how our societies developed, They have huge amount of power over our society. | ||
They've cracked down on free speech. | ||
We're not saying you don't want them to do business, but you want it to be a free market. | ||
And right now, they're monopolies. | ||
But this issue of China, I think, is really going to be fundamental. | ||
We have subcontracted out so much of our national needs to the CCP. | ||
We rely on them for a whole host of issues. | ||
We need to reshore and we need to decouple all those important industries. | ||
We need to get that back in the United States. | ||
They are our top geopolitical adversary by a country mile. | ||
Xi Jinping's got huge ambitions, not only in the Asia Pacific, but as you mentioned earlier, in our region. | ||
But ultimately, we've got to beat them on the economy. | ||
And so that's what we'll do as President of the United States. | ||
Governor Christie, I wanted to follow up on this because 22% of American workers fear their jobs will be lost to a robot. | ||
And you said in the past that the free market is the way to go. | ||
Would you retrain workers who lose a job to artificial intelligence, and to do what? | ||
Well, look, what I think artificial intelligence offers us is an extraordinary opportunity to expand well beyond the productivity that we have now and to have Americans be able to be involved in that revolution, Dana. | ||
Each time, we have shown incredible innovation and progress in this country. | ||
What we've done with it is to expand all kinds of new, even unthought of opportunities for folks. | ||
Yes, we have to do retraining for folks who lose some of their jobs, and we should be doing that. | ||
And we should have more training available both at the county college level and the local level for people to be able to access it. | ||
So yes, I would be in favor of that. | ||
But this is a much bigger issue than that. | ||
We can't be afraid of innovation. | ||
America has been the great innovator of this world. | ||
Over the last 250 years, a technological innovator, a manufacturing innovator, and a freedom and governmental innovator. | ||
And that's why America has to continue to stand strong in the world, pro-innovation, pro-progress. | ||
And I will tell you this, As President of the United States, what I will do is to make sure that every innovator in this country gets the government the hell off its back and out of its pocket so that it can innovate and bring great new inventions to our country that will make everybody's lives better. | ||

Mr. Ramaswamy, TikTok is banned on government-issued devices because of its ties to the Chinese government. | |
Yet you joined TikTok after dinner with boxer and influencer Jake Paul. | ||
Should the Commander-in-Chief be so easily persuaded by an influencer? | ||
So the answer is I have a radical idea for the Republican Party. | ||
We need to win elections. | ||
And part of how we win elections is reaching the next generation of young Americans where they are. | ||
So when I get into office, I've been very clear. | ||
Kids under the age of 16 should not be using addictive social media. | ||
We're only going to ever get to declaring independence from China, which I favor, if we actually win. | ||
So while the Democrats are running rampant, reaching the next generation three to one, there's exactly one person in the Republican Party which talks a big game about reaching young people, and that's me. | ||
And let me level with all of you. | ||
I'm the new guy here, and so I know I have to earn your trust. | ||
What do you see? | ||
You see a young man who's in a bit of a hurry, maybe a little ambitious, bit of a know-it-all it seems at times. | ||
I'm here to tell you no, I don't know it all. | ||
I will listen. | ||
I will have the best people, the best and brightest in this country, whatever age they are, advising me. | ||
We will be probably many of the people on this stage included. | ||
That's how I built my companies. | ||
I want to be challenged. | ||
I want people who disagree with me. | ||
That's what makes America great because we're not a We're founded on the pursuit of perfection. | ||
That is what makes America great. | ||

And that is why we'll end it once we win this election. | |
I have to jump in here. | ||

|
I'm sorry. | |
There's one person on this. | ||
This is infuriating because TikTok is one of the most dangerous social media apps that we could have. | ||
And what you've got, honestly, every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say. | ||
Because I can't believe... | ||
He just hates it. | ||
If you're in a TikTok situation, what they're doing is these 150 million people are on TikTok. | ||
That means they can get your contacts, they can get your financial information, they can get your emails, they can get text messages, they can get all of these things. | ||
This is very important for our partners. | ||
China knows exactly what they're doing. | ||
And what we've seen is you've gone and you've helped China make medicines in China, not America. | ||
You're now wanting kids to go and get on the social media that's dangerous for all of us. | ||
You went and you were in business with the Chinese that gave Hunter Biden $5 million. | ||
We can't trust you. | ||
We can't trust you. | ||
We can't have TikTok in our kids' lives. | ||

But is it in our best interest to degrade Russia's military for less than 5% of what we pay annually on defense, especially when there are no U.S. | ||
soldiers in the fight? | ||
It's in our interest to end this war, and that's what I will do as president. | ||
We are not going to have a blank check. | ||
We will not have U.S. troops, and we're going to make the Europeans do what they need to do. | ||
But they've sent money to pay bureaucrats' pensions and salaries and funding small businesses halfway around the world. | ||
Meanwhile, our own country is being invaded. | ||
We don't even have control of our own territory. | ||
We have got to defend the American people before we even worry about all these other things. | ||
And I watch these guys in Washington, D.C., and they don't care about the American people. | ||
They don't care about the fentanyl deaths. | ||
They don't care about the communities being overrun because of this border. | ||
They don't care about the Mexican drug cartels. | ||
So as Commander-in-Chief, I will defend this country's sovereignty. | ||

But it's not a territorial dispute. | |
It's never been a territorial dispute. | ||
That's of course what it is. | ||
Yeah, we're getting back. | ||
of the resources that we send over to Ukraine is guaranteed. | ||
It's a loan. | ||
It is not 90% of the money that we send over there is loan. | ||
We can talk about this, but at the end of the day, 90% of the money that we send over there is actually in the form of a loan. | ||
It's not actually not being paid by Ukraine. | ||
It's paid by the NATO, our NATO allies. | ||
So I think it's a good topic. | ||
I think it's a really good topic too, but I will say, let's debate the fact that our national vital interest is in degrading the Russian military. | ||
By degrading the Russian military, we actually keep our homeland safer, we keep our troops at home, and we all understand Article 5 of NATO. | ||
We have to level with the American people. | ||
I thought you said something about waiting until your turn to talk, so, well, hello there. | ||
So, at the end of the day, I'm going to finish my- He's getting bitched at by a woman and a black guy. | ||
So, at the end of the day, when you think about the fact that if you were to keep American troops at home, the attack on NATO territory would bring us and our troops in. | ||
By degrading the Russian military, we reduce, if not eliminate, an attack on NATO territory. | ||
Finish that exchange. | ||
We have to level with the American people on this issue. | ||
The reality is just because Putin is an evil dictator does not mean that Ukraine is good. | ||
This is a country that has banned 11 opposition parties. | ||
A win for Russia is a win for China. | ||
A win for Russia is a win for China. | ||
Excuse me, Nick, you'll have a chance in just a moment. | ||
The hurling personal insults isn't helping. | ||
China is the real enemy, and we're driving Russia further into China's arms. | ||
We need a reasonable peace plan to end this. | ||
Especially, this is a country whose president, just last week, was hailing in a Nazi insult rant. | ||
If you let Putin have Ukraine that's a green light to China, to take Taiwan, peace comes through strength. | ||
We need a reasonable plan to peace. | ||

The Chinese are paying for the Russian war in Ukraine. | ||

Look. | |
I understand people want to go and talk to Putin. | ||
Guess what? | ||
So did George W. Bush. | ||
So did Barack Obama. | ||
So did Donald Trump. | ||
And so did Joe Biden when he said a small invasion wouldn't be so bad. | ||
Every one of them has been wrong. | ||
And the fact of the matter is, we need to say right now, That the Chinese-Russian alliance is something we have to fight against, and we are not going to solve it by going over and cuddling up to Vladimir Putin. | ||
Look, Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin was brilliant and a great leader. | ||
He is. | ||
This is the person who is murdering people in his own country, and now, not having enough blood, he's now going to Ukraine to murder innocent civilians and kidnap 20,000 children. | ||
And let me tell you, if you think that's where it's going to stop, If we give him any of Ukraine, next will be Poland. | ||
This is a guy who said, wait one sec, this is a guy in 1991 who said that was the darkest moment in world history when the Soviet Union fell. | ||
Listen everybody, he wants to put the old band back together and only America can stop it and when I'm president we will. | ||
Governor Burgum, I want to get to Governor Burgum, he hasn't had a chance. | ||
I have a question I think you're going to really like. | ||
Or at least you have experience in it. | ||
And we need to talk about America's farmers. | ||
Because there is a foreign policy connection here. | ||
The U.S. | ||
and China are in this fierce economic competition. | ||
It's hurting American businesses. | ||
And there is blowback against American farmers because China then targets them in retaliation. | ||
How would you as president protect American farmers and ranchers from that kind of retaliation from a foreign government like China? | ||
Well, first of all, we've got the best farmers and ranchers in the world right here in America. | ||
If they have a level playing field, they can outcompete anyone in the world. | ||
But this is part of the larger issue that we're talking about here, which is we're in a Cold War with China. | ||
The Biden administration won't admit that. | ||
But we're also in a economic war through what we're doing with agriculture and energy. | ||
And we're also in a war with them relative to cyber war. | ||
We get attacked every day in North Dakota, every state, every school district, our tribes all being attacked every day by either China, Russia, Iran, North Korea. | ||
And now we've got a Biden administration whose whole policy is appeasement. | ||
They're out there creating the world, making it less safe. | ||
Six billion dollars they traded for five people. | ||
They just now set a price on anyone's head who's a tourist from America, who's a student from America for kidnapping. | ||
If you want more kidnapping, put a price on it. | ||
And they're also helping Iran get to have more closer to nuclear weapon, which pushes all of the Middle East closer to China and Russia. | ||
The whole thing is absurd. | ||
And then, of course, we're going to give Ukraine to Russia and then we're going to give Taiwan to China. | ||
And think that's a foreign policy that will make our nation less less successful, make us more poor. | ||
And at the core of all that is energy policy. | ||
China imports 10 million barrels of oil a day. | ||
They're the largest import in the world, and we've had four cabinet members from the Biden administration there this summer, and none of them talked about U.S. | ||
energy. | ||
The first one to go to each of those countries was Kerry to talk about the folly of the climate policy, which is making the world less stable. | ||
It's empowering dictators. | ||
It's not about climate change that we need worried about. | ||
It's about the Biden climate policies that are actually the existential threat to America's future. | ||

So, this means boots on the ground, This means boot on the ground. | ||
Educator. | ||
Educator, Nikki. | ||
It means special operations. | ||
That's how we deal with our terrorists. | ||
And what you need to do is understand that Mexico's not being a good partner if we lost 75,000 Americans last year. | ||
Educate this anchor, baby. | ||
Mexico's not being a good partner if they're letting the cartels get away with what they're getting away with. | ||
What we will do is we will make sure that we send in our special operations, and we will take out the cartels. | ||
We'll take out their operations. | ||
We'll take out anything that's doing it. | ||
But we're going to go after China. | ||
Because China is the one sending the fentanyl in the first place. | ||
And we will end all normal trade relations until China stops sending fentanyl. | ||
And then we'll do the special operations and we'll get it from both sides. | ||
This is where President Trump went wrong. | ||
He focused on trade with China. | ||
He didn't focus on the fact that they were buying up our farmland. | ||
He didn't focus on the fact that they were killing Americans. | ||
He didn't focus on the fact that they were stealing $600 billion in intellectual property. | ||
He didn't focus on the fact that they put a spy base off our shores in Cuba. | ||
They didn't focus enough on the fact that all of our law enforcement drones in America are Chinese. | ||
And we've got all these little surveillance cells. | ||
We need to start focusing on what keeps Americans safe. | ||
That hasn't happened in a long time. | ||
As your president, I will make sure every American is safe, and we'll do whatever it takes to make that happen. | ||
All right. | ||
I want to get to Senator Scott. | ||
You're all auditioning for the job as President of the United States. | ||
You want to earn these votes. | ||

During the presidential debates in the year 2000, neither Al Gore nor George W. Bush was asked about Al Qaeda. | ||
Yet, just one year later, Al Qaeda's attack on September 11th claimed nearly 3,000 lives. | ||
And the farther we get from September 11th, the closer we are to September 10th. | ||
Senator Scott, you have no executive branch experience. | ||
What has prepared you to protect the nation from a major man-made national security crisis? | ||
One of the things I've had the good fortune of doing is serving on committees in the United States Senate like the Senate Armed Services Committee, I'm on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also on the Finance Committee and the Banking Committee. | ||
Talk about addressing the issue of fentanyl. | ||
I've written the legislation, passed it through the Banking Committee and the Senate that would freeze the assets and sanction the accounts of the Mexican cartels. | ||
There are weapons that we have within the arsenal that I was able to get past 23 to 0 in the Polarizing Senate as it is. | ||
I've also understood without question the fact that if you look at the details before 9-11, there was information and intelligence that was available that suggested an attack was coming. | ||
Having the right intelligence partners with us is key to making sure that we prevent the next 9-11 from ever happening. | ||
Having that experience for the last 10 years is really important in getting the job done. | ||
30 seconds to you, Mr. Pence. | ||
Well, I think you asked a question about executive experience, and I think it's vitally important. | ||
And I stand before you today as a candidate for president because I think this country's in a lot of trouble. | ||
And you hear the fire on the stage tonight, you hear the fire in all of our voices, and it's because Joe Biden is weak in this country, at home and abroad. | ||
This is a time for those of us that have the experience The tested experience and a commitment to the conservative agenda that Ronald Reagan brought forward in this party of a strong national defense, standing with our allies, standing up to our enemies, supporting limited government and traditional values need to step forward. | ||
Understood. | ||
Because, frankly, our party does face a time for choosing, as they said at the top of this debate, whether we're going to stand on the foundation of that conservative agenda that Ronald Reagan poured or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles. | ||
the most experienced, most qualified, and most consistent conservative in this field. | ||
And I'm ready to lead America at home and abroad on day one. | ||
Time for choosing to go to a break. | ||
unidentified
|
We need to go to a commercial break. | |
Super funny. | ||
Another Reagan joke. | ||
Unbelievable. | ||
unidentified
|
the ball. | |
This debate is trash. | ||
I'm just over it. | ||
I mean, like, you're at a point where you're listening to Doug Burgum answer. | ||
Like, he gets a whole answer. | ||
Vivek gets interrupted by everybody, and it seems like every answer is 15 seconds. | ||
Doug Burgum, who's at 1% or less, we're gonna listen to his position on, like, farmers or something? | ||
Who cares? | ||
I'm just over the whole thing. | ||
So, I have to say though, I'm very disappointed in Vivek. | ||
I'm disappointed, but not really surprised. | ||
He says a lot of the right stuff, but really he suffers from two fatal problems. | ||
And one, he doesn't know how to bring it in for a landing. | ||
Okay, when it comes to these debates, Simplicity. | ||
Simplicity is your friend. | ||
You don't need to get creative. | ||
You don't need to come up with these convoluted answers. | ||
You need a clever, good answer, and it needs to be solid, and simple, and to the point, and pithy, and he can't do that. | ||
Like every, even when he gets an answer off, because you see he's obviously at a disadvantage, obviously. | ||
And they all do this, by the way. | ||
Throughout the years, if there's a candidate that isn't favored by the establishment, it's just open season on them in the debates. | ||
It was like this with Trump. | ||
It was like this with Ron Paul. | ||
It's like this with Vivek. | ||
It was like that with Andrew Yang. | ||
So, you know, he doesn't even have a lot of opportunities for openers to get off a good answer. | ||
But then, even when he does, he had this answer in this past segment where they asked him about The border or something and he goes on this tangent about well The problem is that there's demand for fentanyl and there's demand for fentanyl because there's a mental health crisis And so we need to address it with mental health and it's like, you know, that's just wrong That's just incorrect. | ||
They're two separate issues. | ||
The way that you secure the border is by securing the border. | ||
That's it. | ||
You need to build a wall. | ||
And he says, well, they're digging tunnels underground. | ||
We have technology. | ||
Find the tunnels. | ||
Shut them down. | ||
You need surveillance. | ||
You need a wall. | ||
You need an architecture that repels people physically at the border. | ||
And you need to combine that with a zero-tolerance policy that every illegal will be sent back. | ||
We need to get on a program, get on a timeline. | ||
We're over four to eight years. | ||
We can get everybody out, and everybody that tries to enter will be deported immediately. | ||
That's your two-step approach. | ||
Talking about mental health does not fix the border. | ||
It's like when you hear these Democrats say, well the problem with crime is that there are no educational opportunities. | ||
It's like, that really doesn't have anything to do with it. | ||
These root cause things, that's a generational problem. | ||
Fixing crime is about arresting people. | ||
Fixing crime is about everybody that commits a crime gets caught. | ||
Similarly, the border is the same deal. | ||
Everybody that comes over has to go back. | ||
It's that simple. | ||
And so that was a perfect opportunity to deliver a solid answer and say, yep, build the fucking wall. | ||
Deport everybody and no birthright citizenship. | ||
That's your grand slam. | ||
Instead, he's going to come up with this convoluted thing about, uh, well there was, so I talked to these people and their kid overdosed on fentanyl and we need to ban social media and we need a faith-based approach to mental health. | ||
It's like, what? | ||
Talk about the border. | ||
So that's problem number one. | ||
Problem number two is that he's weak. | ||
And the reason everybody's attacking him, it's one, because he's very popular. | ||
You know, and you have to anticipate that. | ||
He's surging in the polls. | ||
He is a heterodox candidate because he's not, he doesn't want to destroy Russia and he's on TikTok and whatever. | ||
You know, he's not an insane 80 year old neocon. | ||
Slave to the Jews so they're all attacking him but you know he really invited this because in the first debate he let everybody interrupt him and now they all know that he's weak and so they do and he's like smiling he's being interrupted and he's smiling and he's making eye contact with them and he's like allowing them to interrupt you can't let people interrupt same thing with the border it's like if you let somebody interrupt they will interrupt and interrupt you got to talk over them not make eye contact not smile raise your you know you need | ||
Strategies to disrupt that. | ||
And he doesn't have that killer instinct. | ||
That's why he'll never... He could never win this even if Trump wasn't there. | ||
He has no killer instinct. | ||
He got bitched out by a gay black guy and a woman. | ||
Well look, I think that we do have to run through the courts and get through that administrative state to make sure we're using the natural resources here at home. | ||
But here's the other thing that we can do that's easy. | ||
And it addresses the national debt as well as brings down prices. | ||
Put people back to work. | ||
We are using taxpayer money to pay people more to stay at home than to go to work. | ||
That is wrong. | ||
That contributes to our supply chain crisis. | ||
It contributes to inflation. | ||
That's the easiest way to unlock this economy. | ||
And here's the other thing. | ||
We have to put the Federal Reserve back in its place. | ||
This is an agency that has gone rogue. | ||
So in January 2026, when I have the opportunity as our next commander in chief, we will have a new chairman of the Federal Reserve who places priority on dollar stability. | ||
And then most importantly, send packing 75 percent of the administrative state, reduce the federal employee headcount by 75 percent. | ||
Rescind 50% of unconstitutional federal regulations that are shackling businesses, both large and small. | ||
I've offered a very clear, practical plan to do it. | ||
That's how we unleash the economy. | ||
That's how we revive the integrity of a three-branch constitutional republic, rather than this technocracy and aristocracy in the administration of the state. | ||
I think one of the signature accomplishments of our administration was in just a few short years. | ||
We achieved energy independence. | ||
We became a net exporter of energy for the first time in 75 years. | ||
But on day one, Joe Biden declared a war on energy, which was no surprise, because when Joe Biden ran for president, he said he was going to end fossil fuels. | ||
And they've been working overtime to do that ever since. | ||
If I'm president of the United States, we're going to open up federal lands. | ||
We're going to unleash American energy. | ||
We're going to have an all-of-the-above energy strategy. | ||
And I have a plan that actually would not only reclaim energy independence, but in 2006, America lost our position as the leading energy producer on Earth. | ||
I believe in the next 10 years, with the right policies and experienced leadership in the White House, we can reclaim our role as the leading energy producer on Earth, and that'll grow the American economy for generations to come. | ||
unidentified
|
Um, Governor Haley, reaction to that please? | |
As the only person who's leading an energy state, could I answer the energy question? | ||
No, uh, Governor Haley. | ||
To you, the first thing I'll say is, what I saw at the United Nations is national sec- energy security is national security. | ||
We need a president that understands we have to partner with our producers and make sure that they- we have their backs. | ||
What you don't need is a president who is against energy independence. | ||
Ron DeSantis is against fracking, he's against drilling, he's been against- You did it. | ||
He always talks about what happens on day one. | ||
You better watch out, because what happens on day two is when you're in trouble. | ||
Day two in Florida, you banned fracking, you banned offshore drilling, you did it on federal lands, and you took green subsidies that you didn't have to take. | ||
unidentified
|
Governor DeSantis, you were mentioned. | |
You have the right to respond. | ||
30 seconds. | ||
I just did a plan out in West Texas for American energy dominance. | ||
We're going to choose Midland over Moscow, we're going to choose the Marcellus over the Molas, and we're going to choose Bakken over Beijing, and we are going to lower your gas prices. | ||
We are going to get that job done because it's important for our national security, it's important for jobs, and that's one of the best ways to drive down inflation. | ||
Governor DeSantis, Governor DeSantis, this question is for you. | ||
You banned it before they voted. | ||
No, it's not true. | ||
unidentified
|
You banned it before they voted and not only that, fracking wasn't, they didn't vote on fracking. | |
She's just totally wrong. | ||
They voted it in, that's what we did. | ||
I'm sure we do do it in Florida. | ||
We don't have as much as maybe West Texas, but we do it. | ||
But that was a constitutional amendment. | ||
So that's just wrong, and let's just get real here. | ||
My plan will get the job done. | ||
unidentified
|
We are going to be energy dominant, and that's what's going to happen. | |
We are moving on with this question for Governor DeSantis. | ||
Governor, we cannot talk over each other. | ||
We must respect each other's time. | ||
My apologies for that. | ||
I'm ready, Stuart. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's do it. | |
He owned her there. | ||
I do kind of like DeSantis, like, nerd energy, where he's like, okay, that's just wrong. | ||
Um, actually, you're wrong. | ||
Like, he does have that nerd, like... | ||
You know what, Nicky? | ||
Because the colleges are going to have to make a decision. | ||
Do we offer, do we expand the gender studies department? | ||
Knowing some of those graduates may not have great learning opportunities. | ||
No, they're going to focus on the things that really matter. | ||
They're going to make different choices. | ||
They're going to try to graduate people in four years. | ||
Wrong, Mickey! | ||
unidentified
|
Spurred. | |
last segment about 9-11 because I was just at the 9-11 memorial with the family. | ||
It's very touching to be there and it affected my life because I ended up joining the military as a result of that. | ||
I had been a blue-collar kid, minimum wage in Dunnean, Florida. | ||
I ended up getting through Yale and Harvard Law School and somehow came out more conservative than when I went in and that is not easy to do. | ||
Had a lot of opportunities to make money, but I wanted to serve, and I'll never forget coming back on the plane from Iraq, landing in Coronado, California, North Island, and feeling that breeze off the Pacific Ocean and say, you know what? | ||
I am lucky to have been born an American and I think being able to serve and I'll be the first president elected since 1988 who's actually served overseas in a war. | ||
I think that's going to help me as commander-in-chief to know how you see these issues and understand that there are real lives at stake for people that wear the uniform. | ||
And we know that Governor Haley's husband is serving right now as well, and we thank him for that. | ||
Senator Scott, the national debt is nearly double than your time in office. | ||
Nikki Haley is the one they want, obviously. | ||
The approval rate for Congress is at a mere 19%. | ||
If this were a business, you'd probably all be fired in Washington, but you're here tonight looking for a promotion. | ||
In 2013, Governor Haley fired you for the Senate. | ||
I'd like you to tell her why you should be promoted to CEO of the nation instead of her. | ||
Certainly, one of the things I'd say is if you look at our national debt of 33 trillion dollars, I would love to have an opportunity to have this country pass a balanced budget amendment. | ||
That would constrain the spending in Washington in the same fashion that it does in every state in our nation, number one. | ||
Number two, if you want to actually reduce our national debt, you have to grow our economy. | ||
In order to grow our economy, you need to create about 10 million jobs to grow our economy at 5%. | ||
You can do that in three specific sectors. | ||
Number one, the energy sector. | ||
We could create between three and three and a half million jobs if we unleashed all of our energy resources. | ||
America is the most, we're the richest country if you combine coal, gas, and oil. | ||
Why not unleash all of our resources? | ||
Number two, we've lost 100,000 factories. | ||
100,000 factories in the last 25 years. | ||
If we continued on my Made in America plan, we could bring jobs back to America in a similar fashion that we did when I wrote the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. | ||
We actually lowered the corporate tax from 35% to 21%. | ||
Reshored or repatriated $1.7 trillion. | ||
We brought the unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians to the lowest level in the history of the country. | ||
And a 70-year low for women. | ||
Governor Haley, would you think, you think you would deserve the promotion over him? | ||
Well, first of all, I think, look, I appreciate Tim. | ||
We've known each other a long time. | ||
But he's been there 12 years and he hasn't done any of that. | ||
He hasn't, they've only given four budgets on time in 40 years. | ||
He is part of that. | ||
He increased the national debt. | ||
He voted for the spending. | ||
unidentified
|
You voted for, you actually asked for a gas tax increase in South Carolina. | |
12 years, where have you been? | ||
Where have you been, Tim? | ||
I appreciate a lot of the things they're saying. | ||
I have voted in those. | ||
Nothing has happened. | ||
Here's what you've done. | ||
Here's the thing that I just find interesting. | ||
Ron, let me finish this. | ||
All these guys have said two things. | ||
Here's the fact. | ||
And I appreciate a lot of the things they're saying. | ||
I'm the only one up here who's gotten in the big fights and has delivered big victories for the people of Florida. | ||
And that's what it's all about. | ||
You can always talk, but when it gets hot in there, when they're shooting arrows at you, are you going to stand up for parents' rights, keep the state free? | ||
Are you going to be able to do all those things? | ||
And in the state of Florida, because of our success, the Democratic Party lies in ruins. | ||
We have won the big fights. | ||
We have turned our state into a Republican state. | ||
People respond to leadership. | ||
I've done it while others have talked about it. | ||
We need a zero-based budgeting. | ||
That's the way businesses are actually run. | ||
Start with zero as the baseline for the budget, and then see what's actually necessary. | ||
There isn't a blue state or a red state in this union that doesn't. | ||
The federal government doesn't do it. | ||
But successful companies, including the ones that I've built as a CEO, will do it. | ||
unidentified
|
And I think we need a CEO in the White House to get that done. | |
Look at how she interrupts him! | ||
You didn't ask the only guy that's been attacked. | ||
You have energy questions you don't ask anything. | ||
But I'm just going to say right now, when you say nobody else has done it, the energy plans that have all been announced in the last month by these other folks on stage, we're already doing it in North Dakota. | ||
The border plans they're already talking about, we've got troops down at the border, flying helicopter missions from North Dakota, from San Diego to the Gulf Coast, trying to stop transnational criminal organizations from inflicting the invasion and the mass casualties in our state. | ||
And on the energy policy, we're already doing it. | ||
It's not saying—nobody else has done the big fights. | ||
North Dakota was leading the charge. | ||
We won the battle to get the Biden administration, who was ignoring the law. | ||
They were the first administration since Truman that wasn't holding the quarterly required lease sales. | ||
And we won that in federal court. | ||
Vote us. | ||
We won that in federal court. | ||
We're fighting the Biden administration on 20 fronts. | ||
To say that nobody's fighting the big fights, just look at the record of what we're doing right now. | ||
Energy, economy, national security have been talking about it since day one, and now finally good. | ||
We're having the conversation about it, but we've got the answer in North Dakota. | ||
unidentified
|
Governor Burgum, let's talk big government. | |
This question's for you. | ||
Big government keeps getting bigger. | ||
One-fifth of all new jobs this year have been created by the government. | ||
Governor Burgum, you say you want to shrink the size of government, but it has been a century since any president has done that. | ||
Why would you be any different? | ||
Well, because we've done it in North Dakota. | ||
When I took office, we shrunk the state budget general fund by 27% in the first four months I was office, and all the trains stopped running on time. | ||
Why? | ||
Because you had a business leader that was actually there. | ||
Inside of every government job, There's 10 or 20 percent of mind-numbing, soul-sucking work that even the state and federal employees don't want to do, and you can engineer that work out of the job. | ||
That would free up right there 20 percent of 2 million civilian employees. | ||
And by the way, we've got 10 million jobs open. | ||
They'd have plenty to do, and they could be generating taxes instead of being paid by taxes. | ||
This is totally possible to do it if you have somebody that understands Because having worked in technology for 30 years, everything we had to do was to be better, faster, and cheaper the next day. | ||
That's what we can do in government. | ||
That's what we're doing in North Dakota. | ||
Alright. | ||
Governor DeSantis. | ||
I want to ask you about something that I think is on a lot of Republicans' minds. | ||
This election could come down to less than 50,000 votes in three states. | ||
Abortion was on the ballot in six states in 2022. | ||
Republicans lost all of them. | ||
Next year, abortion will likely be on the ballot in Arizona. | ||
That is a must-win state. | ||
Governor DeSantis, how are you going to win over independent, pro-choice voters in Arizona? | ||
Same way we did in Florida. | ||
We won the greatest Republican victory in a governor's race in the history of the state, over 1.5 million votes. | ||
We were winning places like Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach, that nobody thought was possible because we were leading with purpose and conviction. | ||
I reject this idea that pro-lifers are to blame for midterm defeats. | ||
I think there's other reasons for that. | ||
The former president, you know, he's missing in action tonight. | ||
He's had a lot to say about that. | ||
He should be here explaining his comments. | ||
Oh my gosh! | ||
Dude. | ||
- Oh my gosh! | ||
- I can't. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. - I can't hear a person. | ||
Dude! | ||
I can't hear about Reagan. | ||
unidentified
|
I just can't. | |
And I think we should stand for what we believe in. | ||
I think we should hold the Democrats accountable for their extremism, supporting abortion all the way up until the moment of birth. | ||
That is infanticide, and that is wrong. | ||
Let me ask Governor Christie. | ||
Governor Christie, do you think- Every question. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Governor Christie, do you think that Republicans can do that in Arizona if this referendum is on the ballot there? | ||
Yeah, because I did it in New Jersey, Dana. | ||
Well, because they don't have leaders in those states who are leading the fight the way it should be led. | ||
unidentified
|
Look, Reagan said, I was going to hear of the only blue state that's represented up here. | |
This is where the fight is really tough for Republicans. | ||
And those are the states that we're going to have to try to win if we're going to win the White House back. | ||
And what we did is 14 times, Dana, in eight years, I vetoed Planned Parenthood funding. | ||
14 times. | ||
No one else gets it that much. | ||
The Democrats just kept sending it to me, and I kept saying no, because I believe in life. | ||
But I also believe in states' rights. | ||
And I think we fought hard against Roe vs. Wade for decades to say that states should make these decisions. | ||
So we're going to have those fights in the states. | ||
But what you need is a leader who can talk to people and make them understand that if you're pro-life, you have to be pro-life for the entire life, not just the nine months in the womb. | ||
And we've talked a lot about fentanyl tonight, and we haven't spoken one moment about treatment. | ||
But we need to make sure that for the drug-addicted 16-year-old on the floor of the county lockup, her life is precious, too. | ||
And we need to be providing treatment to cure this as a disease that it is. | ||
If you're pro-life, you've got to be pro-life for the entire life. | ||
We start talking like that, they're going to do what I did in the blue state, which was get reelected with 61% of the vote and won 70% of independents and 51% of Latinos because I told them the truth from my heart. | ||
Thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Vice President Pence. | |
The latest Univision poll found that 73% of Latino voters think the Republican Party doesn't care about or is being hostile to them, the Hispanic community. | ||
Only Governor DeSantis has translated his campaign into Spanish. | ||
How will you reach out to Latino voters? | ||
Well, I promise you that we're going to continue to build bridges to every community in this country. | ||
And I'm incredibly proud of that tax cut and tax reform bill. | ||
I worked on Capitol Hill to help get that bill passed into law, the largest tax cut in American history. | ||
We saw literally the lowest unemployment ever recorded for Hispanic Americans. | ||
The lowest unemployment ever recorded for African-Americans. | ||
50-year low for women. | ||
So I think the President of the United States needs to be a champion for the American dream for every American. | ||
It begins with the unborn, and the aging, and the infirm. | ||
And it begins with every ethnic group in this country. | ||
And I promise you, if I'm President of the United States, I'll be a champion. | ||
I'll be a champion for the American dream for Hispanic Americans and for every American. | ||
Oh finally, finally some relief. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright, what's going on? | |
He said the Asian and the infirm. | ||
A ten percent, ten cent gas tax increase in South Carolina. | ||
Talk about someone who has never seen a federal dollar she doesn't like. | ||
Ten cents on this gallon in South Carolina. | ||
As the UN ambassador, you literally... Bring it, Ken. | ||
What the freak? | ||
Dude, where's my debate, bro? | ||
$50,000 on curtains in a $15 million subsidized location. | ||
unidentified
|
Next. | |
You got bad information. | ||
First of all, I fought the gas tax in South Carolina multiple times against the establishment. | ||
Just go to YouTube. | ||
Against the establishment. | ||
And you want to know what that tense up was? | ||
When they wouldn't pass the gas tax, the establishment and the companies wanted me to do it so much that I said the only way I will pass it is if you won't give us three. | ||
All you have to do is go watch Nikki Haley on YouTube. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
If you will give me three times the deduction in income tax, then I will look at your gas tax, which is why it didn't happen. | ||
Exactly, Ron. | ||
unidentified
|
Secondly, on the $50 million... Here is a nice part. | |
Secondly, on the curtains, do you... Yes. | ||
Hallmark 10, because Obama bought those curtains. | ||
Did you send them back? | ||
It's in the press. | ||
Did you send them back? | ||
It's the State Department. | ||
Did you send them back? | ||
Did you send them back? | ||
You're the one that works in Congress. | ||
Oh, my gosh. | ||
You get it. | ||
You hung them on your curtains. | ||
They were there before I even showed up at the residence. | ||
I hate this. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's a fact. | |
Here's a fact. | ||
unidentified
|
You wanted a gas tax increase. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, we do not intend to go ahead like this. | ||
In fact, we're about to take a commercial break. | ||
We'll have more of the second Republican debate live from the Reagan Presidential Library in just a few moments. | ||
I hate this. | ||
I hate this so much. | ||
unidentified
|
oh my gosh They're the two worst Republicans in the country. | |
Tim Scott and Nikki Haley. | ||
They're the two most insufferable, worst Republicans. | ||
Tim Scott, because he's a gay, black neocon. | ||
The only reason any Republican would consider Tim Scott, like I said earlier, is because they cream their jeans whenever they see a black guy say he loves America. | ||
That's it. | ||
That's it. | ||
Nothing special there. | ||
It's just whenever a black person says, Shit, I love America! | ||
I think it's the greatest country on God's green earth. | ||
You know, they lose it. | ||
It makes them feel so good. | ||
And Nikki Haley's just the hysterical female neocon. | ||
Both of them. | ||
I mean they're virtually the same. | ||
Did you hear earlier Tim Scott said that degrading and diminishing Russia's military is our vital strategic interest? | ||
He literally said we have to fight them there so we don't fight them here. | ||
About Russia! | ||
Like Russia is going to invade America. | ||
He said we have to degrade them in Ukraine to protect the homeland. | ||
Why is Russia about to invade America? | ||
But that's the same nonsense, that's the same drivel that Nikki Haley says where she's flipping out about Vivek saying that he doesn't want to nuke Russia or something. | ||
And now at the end they're going to debate about curtains and about fiscal responsibility. | ||
Oh, you took Obama's curtains? | ||
Seriously? | ||
That's why you have to say thank God for Trump, because if it wasn't for Trump, this would be your field. | ||
Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott. | ||
These are the worst of the worst. | ||
Mike Pence, I think, is by far the worst because he's human garbage because he betrayed the President, but... I mean, he's right up there with the others. | ||
Honestly, what more is there to say? | ||
I'm checked out. | ||
I'm over it. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm done. | |
I hate everyone on the stage. | ||
I hate every single one of them as a choice, you know. | ||
Even the moderators. | ||
Dana Perino is terrible. | ||
The other one doesn't even speak English. | ||
How are you gonna have a Republican debate and she doesn't even speak English? | ||
And she's asking all the Latino questions. | ||
She's asking about The Latino vote, and why haven't you translated your campaign into Spanish? | ||
Really? | ||
Honestly, it just makes DeSantis look better. | ||
I mean, when you look at the field, DeSantis is probably the strongest and maybe the most conservative out of the field there. | ||
I mean, Vivek has probably the best policies, but DeSantis is way better at articulating them. | ||
It makes him look good, because all the rest of them suck so much worse. | ||
Not that I like DeSantis, but you put him next to Nikki Haley and Tim Scott, he actually looks like a genius Nazi or something. | ||
He looks like a Nazi genius. | ||
But I can't stand any of them. | ||
I think the field is terrible. | ||
And like I said earlier, it just goes to show, we're in a real pickle here because if Trump loses this election, not only is it over, Just on account of. | ||
But in 2028, this is the field and that's all. | ||
Have you ever thought about that? | ||
That if Trump loses, even if he wins, the field in 2028 is going to be these guys. | ||
And imagine if this was your only choice. | ||
Imagine if there was no Trump doing a rally simultaneously and you had to pick somebody from this crowd. | ||
I couldn't pick one of them to save my life if I had to. | ||
So, you know, this is why it has to happen with the voters. | ||
The voters have to protest and not vote for Republicans because this is what happens when you do. | ||
Every year, voters in South Carolina elect people like Nikki Haley and Tim Scott because the alternative would be far worse. | ||
Well, what are you going to do? | ||
Not vote? | ||
Then the Democrats get the spot. | ||
Good! | ||
I prefer another Democrat as opposed to Tim Scott or Lindsey Graham or Nikki Haley. | ||
I prefer another Democrat over Mike Pence or whoever else you know so it's just a disaster but that's the party. | ||
Trump needs to appoint a successor. | ||
Trump really needs some solid people and not just people that agree with him or go along with what he says but he needs like real fighters. | ||
He needs to groom somebody like Matt Gaetz or somebody like that to really lead. | ||
Because the problem isn't even that they're wrong, it's that they're weak. | ||
I mean, everyone is wrong and they're weak. | ||
And you see a case in point is like Marjorie Greene. | ||
She may be right on some things, but she's an animal. | ||
unidentified
|
And by animal, I mean she looks like a gorilla. | |
The animal is gorilla. | ||
Donald Trump wins the nomination. | ||
None of you have indicated that you're dropping out. | ||
So... | ||
Which one of you, on stage tonight, should be voted off the island? | ||
Please use your marker to write your choice on the notepad in front of you. | ||
15 seconds, starting now. | ||
Of the people on the stage, who should be... I'm absolutely serious. | ||
With all due respect, I mean, we're here, like, you know, we're happy to debate, but I think that that's disrespectful to my fellow competitors. | ||
Nobody wants to participate. | ||
Let's do some questions. | ||
Let's talk about the future of the country. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's go. | |
Let me ask you something. | ||
Ben, if you won't answer that question, let me ask you this one. | ||
What is your mathematical path, Governor DeSantis? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
in order to try to beat President Trump, who has a commanding and enduring lead in this race. - So, polls don't elect presidents. | ||
Voters elect presidents. | ||
And we're gonna take the case of the people in these early states. | ||
We're gonna do it in a state-by-state direction. | ||
And why? | ||
Because as Reagan said in his day, this is our time for choosing. | ||
We are not getting a mulligan on the 2024 election. | ||
Republicans have lost three straight elections in a row. | ||
We were supposed to have a red wave with inflation at 9%. | ||
It crashed and burned. | ||
Not in Florida, it didn't. | ||
We delivered it in Florida. | ||
And so we've got to choose right. | ||
We've got to win. | ||
And we need somebody that's going to be able to serve two terms. | ||
So in January of 2023, they'll be able to address the nation saying, we turned the economy around, we secured the border, and we fended off the threat from communist China. | ||
As your president, I will get that job done. | ||
unidentified
|
Governor Christie, I believe I did see you write something. | |
Governor Christie, I believe I did see you write something on the card. | ||
Who lost it? | ||
No, but I'll certainly tell you. | ||
Look, I think I've been the only one on this stage who's been clear about this. | ||
I vote Donald Trump off the island right now. | ||
And the reason I vote him off the island... Every person on this stage has shown the respect for Republican voters to come here, to express their views honestly, candidly, and directly, and to take your questions honestly. | ||
I have respect for every man and woman on this stage because they've done it. | ||
Vivek, put your hand down for a second. | ||
I still got time, dude, so chill out. | ||
Here, look. | ||
This guy has not only divided our party, he's divided families all over this country. | ||
He's divided friends all over this country. | ||
I've spoken to people, and I know everyone else has, who have sat at Thanksgiving dinner or at a birthday party and can't have a conversation anymore if they disagree with Donald Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
And that's awesome! | ||
That's awesome! | ||
I have a different view on this. | ||
I think Trump was an excellent president, but the America first agenda does not belong to one man. | ||
It does not belong to Donald Trump. | ||
It doesn't belong to me. | ||
It belongs to you. | ||
The people of this country. | ||
And the question is who's going to unite this country and take the America first agenda to the next level. | ||
I will do that. | ||
Mr. Ramachandran, your 15 seconds are up. | ||
America great again. | ||
We did not just hunger for a single man. | ||
We hungered for the unapologetic pursuit of excellence. | ||
So yes, I will respect Donald Trump and his legacy because it's the right thing to do. | ||
But we will unite this country to take the America first agenda to the next level and that will take a different generation. | ||
unidentified
|
Is that it? | |
I repeat, that does it. | ||
No closing statements? | ||
Wow. | ||
What a slo- Wow. | ||
What a sloppy debate. | ||
That was terrible. | ||
That was terrible- That's it? | ||
No closing statements? | ||
How do you do a debate and not have closing statements? | ||
What a joke. | ||
From start to finish, that's one of the worst debates I've ever seen. | ||
And not even just because the people suck and the moderators suck, but that whole thing was just a disaster from beginning until end. | ||
Just how they conducted the debate. | ||
How do you not have time for closing statements? | ||
unidentified
|
Don't you kind of need that? | |
Ridiculous. | ||
No closing statements. | ||
Constant interruptions. | ||
We hear more from Doug Burgum than the frontrunners, than DeSantis and Vivek. | ||
Out of this field, I should say, there's really one frontrunner. | ||
So, that was terrible. | ||
And you have, I mean, that statement by Ron DeSantis is so cute. | ||
He says, you know, polls don't elect, voters elect. | ||
Really? | ||
Well, I think the voters are the ones that are being polled. | ||
Isn't that who constitutes the poll? | ||
So, if that's any indication of how people will vote, then you're not gonna win, but... | ||
Terrible debate, as always. | ||
This is the party without Trump, and it's a disaster. | ||
You need Trump, you know? | ||
Trump is obviously the nominee, and he's the only option. | ||
That's it. | ||
This just goes to show we've got one more chance. | ||
It's really that simple. | ||
We have one more chance to save the country, and that's Trump winning in 2024. | ||
We'll find a way to reorganize, and we'll carry on. | ||
It'll be rough if we don't have him for four years. | ||
Because if this is who's running, no path forward. | ||
So, alright, well that's the debate. | ||
We'll take a look. | ||
Really strongly about it. | ||
I don't think we have time. | ||
But, I don't know, I mean, I guess just to recap it. | ||
Let's see, are they gonna do any commentary? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, well, hey! | |
I should be on the front page. | ||
I love it. | ||
unidentified
|
What's funny is that it's not really that scary when you tune in and watch it. | |
This is like... This is what you have. | ||
Without Nick Fuentes and Trump, this is what you get. | ||

And I really think all the points you made were dead on. | ||
No, but I was actually taking a dump. | ||
The point is, I took a five minute break and said, we don't care. | ||

Well, he was the last time that there was like a real conservative, a real Republican that dominated. | ||
You know, he won a landslide in 1984 and 1980 and united the Republican Party and Beat Carter and ended the stagflation of the 70s and won the Cold War. | ||
You know, that's the narrative about Reagan, is it? | ||

And he's like, just take the line out! | ||

Somebody link it to me if it's somewhere. | ||
I want to see who spoke the most. | ||
Because I'm sure that she got the most time. | ||
That seems like that's the case. | ||
Which would signal that she's the pick. | ||
Yeah, she does have that psycho look, which is kind of hot. | ||
Okay, somebody linked it to me. | ||

Not bad. | ||
Rumble and Cozy. | ||
I would have a lot more if I was on the front page, but what the fuck? | ||
I thought they fixed that. | ||
I thought that was a glitch. | ||
It's always a glitch. | ||
Wasn't there some beef over that recently? | ||
They said... | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, it just takes a little while for it to populate. | |
And they fixed it, and then it's back to the same way as before. | ||
Really? | ||
What a joke. | ||
I don't think so. | ||
I think Stephen Miller's even more aggressive than him. | ||
He's just too... He's just weak. | ||
It's that simple. | ||
and ideas, but he's just not a front man who can go toe-to-toe with people. | ||
I don't think so. | ||
I think Stephen Miller's even more aggressive than him. | ||
He's just too, he's just weak. | ||
It's that simple. | ||
I don't think he's like Stephen Miller. | ||
He reminds me of, I don't know. | ||
I feel like everybody was a fighter in 2016. | ||
Everybody was fighting. | ||
Carly Fiorina was tough. | ||
Rubio and Cruz were tough. | ||
You know, they would fight. | ||
Kind of reminds me of Ted Cruz in some ways, because Ted Cruz had that same smiley... | ||
Disposition. | ||
Unable to defend himself. | ||
Kind of like Jeb Bush, actually. | ||
You want to know the truth? | ||
He lets himself get piled on like Jeb Bush. | ||
Even Jeb Bush was able to mount more successful counterattacks. | ||
I know that sounds surprising, but if you go back and watch the debates, by South Carolina, Jeb Bush had figured out a way to mount an attack. | ||
He couldn't respond. | ||
He wasn't good. | ||
And quick at counter-offensive but there were a couple moments when he was able to build up some energy on Trump and you know Trump defused it but Vivek just he can't attack, he can't defend, he's just weak. | ||
Look at this by the way. | ||
Is this Netanyahu? | ||
You literally can't make this shit up. | ||
Tune into Newsmax at any given time and they've got a guy who's got a picture with Netanyahu on his desk. | ||

Hey, thanks a lot for the big super chat. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Yeah, me too. | ||
Maybe one of these days I'll be, you know, I think I could get 1%. | ||
I think if I ran in 15 years, I think I could get, or however, 10 years, I guess. | ||
Damn, at this point. | ||
If I ran in 10 years, I think I could get 1%. | ||
I think I could get on the stage if they let me. | ||
And wouldn't that be crazy? | ||
Because that's all you need is like 40,000 donors, 1%. | ||
I think I could get that. | ||
And I think I'd be able to get on the stage. | ||
Could you imagine in 10 years if I was on the stage? | ||
And I was like... And I wouldn't be this show. | ||
I'm very good at adjusting my message for a different audience. | ||
That would be crazy. | ||
We gotta work towards that. | ||
That's gonna be the future, I think. | ||

Why is Chris Christie is so hateable? | ||
It's not just that he's fat and gross. | ||
It's his tone. | ||
It's something about his tone. | ||
He's got this very like... Because he has this very negative energy. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
He's trying to come off as like tough or stern, but it's just coming across angry and anger doesn't play well. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
Anger never plays well in politics like that. | ||
In television, in retail politics, that like anger, rage, this like... | ||
It doesn't work. | ||
He is what people say Trump is. | ||
You know, when liberals criticize Trump and say that Trump is full of rage and negativity, that's not true. | ||
What they're saying about him is true of Christie. | ||
Because Trump is actually, surprisingly, he's a little bit light. | ||
He's a little bit light, he's a little tongue-in-cheek, he's got a little more affability if that's a word he's more affable christie's just brings this very uh negative like anger and that's i think that's the turnoff if he was more jolly if if he brightened it up and had a smile and raised the eyebrows once in a while You know, if he cracked a real smile, not like a sardonic, like, yeah, we're gonna get Trump. | ||
If he cracked a real smile, it would change it. | ||
It would totally change it. | ||
Mark my words. | ||
Because even if you go and watch, like... Let me see if I could pull up... You know, because Christy... Oh, whoops. | ||
Where did that come from? | ||
If you pull up a speech at the convention in 2012, totally different energy. | ||
Oh my god! | ||
