So I want to talk today as we get into this 16 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:37.000 campaign season, I want to talk about how things are shaping up for Trump. 17 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:44.840 Trump's out there starting to try to reunite or maybe even reunite the party 18 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:52.079 as we move into this campaign season. He's out there. His campaign is 19 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:59.120 asking, demanding, pushing for the debates, which they're supposed to be three. 20 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.560 We'll see what happened. We talked about that earlier in the week. 21 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.239 Biden trying to avoid those and I don't blame them, by the way, 22 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.639 I blame the American voter if they let them get away with this. But 23 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.479 Trump wants to move the campaign, excuse me, the debates to earlier. 24 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.280 Marjorie Taylor Green, of course, is indicated, has shown some movement on 25 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:27.240 possibly trying to oust speaker Mike Johnson. Trump's got some words on that. 26 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.319 There's a development on Ron DeSantis and his involvement with the campaign. So that's 27 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.240 where I want to start today's program. But before I do that, my 28 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.680 friends, let me tell you about the My Pillow twenty five dollars extravaganza and 29 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.960 reminds you that this is an offer that isn't going to last long.

So let's get into this today. Trump is reportedly Trump's 45 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:19.680 team is reportedly asking for these debates to be held earlier. Now I know, 46 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.680 earlier this week we talked about Biden and his campaign's desire to try to 47 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.319 avoid these debates. And I can't say, I can't say I blame them 48 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.839 one bit. I can't say that I blame them one bit because I mean, 49 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:40.480 there's no reason that they're going to that they would help his campaign. 50 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.680 Right. The whole strategy is to keep this guy hidden. So here we 51 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.839 go. We've got Trump. This is headline here at the Epic Times, 52 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.839 the Epic Times. Trump campaign once sorry, there's a pop up there. 53 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.680 There we go. Trump campaign wants presidential debates to start earlier, by the 54 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.079 way, should start earlier. Former President Donald Trump's campaign is calling for additional 55 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.959 twenty twenty four presidential debates and for them to take place quote much earlier than 56 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:17.560 initially proposed by the Debate Commission. The Trump campaign asserted that the candidate is 57 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.800 willing to debate Joe Biden anytime, any place, anywhere. I love this. 58 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:30.319 I love this. So Trump has gone from you know, the campaign 59 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:36.120 trail for the primary and now he's the presumptive nominee. He still, of 60 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.800 course has to deal with all of these court cases and everything happening there. 61 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:46.040 But now he's really starting to tighten the screws on the Biden campaign. Trump 62 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:55.600 says we will debate President Joe Biden anytime, any place, anywhere, anytime, 63 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.879 any place, anywhere. I feel like that's a little bit repetitive, 64 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.439 but I'll take it. The Epic Times received a copy of an April eleventh 65 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:10.279 letter from the campaign via email, authored by Trump campaign co manager Susie Wilds 66 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.759 and Chris La Sevida. The letter was sent to the Commission on Presidential Debates 67 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:26.040 co chairs Frank Farren Komp and Antonia Hernandez. So basically, they're writing to 68 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.160 say, let's have more of these debates, and let's have them sooner. 69 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.720 Now that is important because, as the letter that they sent to the campaign 70 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:45.439 to the Debate Commission reads, the date of the first proposed debate is September 71 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:49.360 sixteenth, twenty twenty four. When that happens, when that date arrives, 72 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:56.319 over one million Americans will have likely voted. Now you can say, well, 73 00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.439 that's only a million voters, but that's I mean, that's a substantial 74 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:09.920 number of voters that are making decisions on candidates without seeing where the candidates stand 75 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.560 today. Now, in one sense, I know that there's a huge percentage 76 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.279 of the American people, and I'm one of them, and I venture to 77 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:20.560 say almost all of you are as well. You know who you're voting for. 78 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:28.199 You have known who you're voting for since the moment Trump announced he was 79 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.839 running for reelection, or you've known maybe who you were voting for since you 80 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.680 decided decades ago that you were never voting for a Democrat. Again, I 81 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.199 don't know, but you've known for a long time. I'm like that too. 82 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.720 But there's a lot of voters that have no idea what's going on because 83 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.160 they keep their head in the ground. They listen to the seven pillars of 84 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:56.600 propaganda, deceive them, mislead them, and so forth. And so there's 85 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.720 a good point to be made here. Why are these debates so late in 86 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.759 the year. I mean, that's what is that September sixteenth to November fifth 87 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.279 is what roughly just about six weeks or so, maybe seven weeks, not 88 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.279 counting the weeks on the calendar here. But that gives you a ballpark. 89 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.920 But the campaign, the Trump campaign says that it's likely that over a million 90 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.360 Americans will have voted by that time, which of course raises the other question, 91 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.040 why on earth are you able to vote that far in advance. Look, 92 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.360 I understand early voting is convenient, but how early? Is there no 93 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.279 limit on how early someone should be able to vote? I mean, it 94 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.240 seems like at some point we would be making decisions if you just had if 95 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.600 you just had polls you know, opened in forever, right, just constantly 96 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.559 open, and you could cast your ballot at any time, the first day 97 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.840 of someone's term for the next presidential election. It just seems like it's some 98 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.039 point we're voting on different things. We're voting on different things, and these 99 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:13.159 debates should coincide with when voting begins. By the date the campaign rights of 100 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:20.600 the second proposed debate, which is October first, there is likely to be 101 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.799 about three million votes cast, an increase of two hundred and twenty five percent, 102 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.320 So we're still a month away. At that point, we would be 103 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.960 a month away from the general election or from election day, and three million 104 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.399 Americans will have potentially have voted by then. And then this says based on 105 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.039 the third proposed debate date of October ninth, which is thirty five days prior 106 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.759 to election day, there will be approximately eight point seven million Americans that have 107 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.039 already voted. So Trump's saying, let's not give people, if we're going 108 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.360 to have this, you know, ability to vote days and weeks and even 109 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.960 months in advance. People should be able to hear from the candidates prior to 110 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.399 making those choices. They should be able to see the candidates debating one another, 111 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.240 exchanging ideas, responding to criticism, and so forth. And I mean 112 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:31.120 I agree with that. Of course, what Trump is also well aware of 113 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.919 is that the more that Biden is out there in front of the American people, 114 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.960 the more likely they are to actually see what is truly going on in 115 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.519 his mind, which is not good. In his Biden's mind, it's not 116 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.919 good. And so Trump saying, let's have more of these debates. And 117 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.919 he's right, as he often is. So we'll see where this goes. 118 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.200 I don't know if anything will happen with this, but if nothing else, 119 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.039 it's at least going to bring to light that there is one side that wants 120 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.200 to have more debates, more discussion, have them earlier, give people the 121 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.799 opportunity to hear directly from their candidates. Ask us the tough questions. I'll 122 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:20.519 debate you, Trump says anytime, anywhere, and so that's what one side 123 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.559 wants. The other side is trying to come up with excuses not to show 124 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:31.519 up. As I shared earlier this week, people like Dick Durbin, Democrat 125 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.759 Senator from Illinois, people like Chris Coons, Democrat senator from Delaware, they 126 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.399 both were talking about how dangerous it was, how outrageous. I think that 127 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.600 was the word that one of them us. It's outrageous that Trump says these 128 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.200 things. You can't give him a platform to say it. Of course, 129 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.600 by being the Republican nominee, he already has that platform. By being an 130 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.080 individual that already is capable of driving tens of thousand of people to his rallies 131 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.720 who travel from miles and miles around well outside the actual area. The individual 132 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:15.039 who inspires groups of boaters to have a boat parade for Trump, and for 133 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:22.679 large numbers of people on motorcycles and in cars to do parades for Trump, 134 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.840 to put people in seats at stadiums, Trump is going to have his platform. 135 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.000 So they are scrambling for excuses not to debate. In the Biden administration. 136 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.559 Meanwhile, Trump is saying, let's debate more. Let's be out there, 137 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.759 me and you. Let's solve this, Let's talk about this. Let's 138 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:48.080 allow people to hear what we think. Let's allow people to hear our ability 139 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:54.120 to defend our ideas, and let them see just how fit we are for 140 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.360 office. That's kind of the debate here. As my computer decides to go 141 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.840 into screensaver mode, bear with me here, I need to see the next 142 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.440 there we go. Okay, So that's the first thing Trump wants to make 143 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:13.240 these debates earlier. He's also not very happy about what Marjorie Taylor Green is 144 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.679 doing in regards to vacating potentially or talking about beginning the process teasing the idea 145 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:30.480 of vacating the chair that Speaker Mike Johnson currently occupies, thereby potentially creating another 146 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.600 showdown for Speaker of the House in the what six months out or so from 147 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.440 from the election in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty four. So I'll talk 148 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.360 about that in just a moment. But before I do, my friends, 149 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:54.279 let me ask you this question. Did you know that gold has outperformed the 150 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.240 S and B five hundred and the Dallas since nineteen seventy one? That's when 151 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:05.279 the US took the dollar off the gold standard. So gold has outperformed the 152 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.360 S and P five hundred and the DOW since nineteen seventy one. What does 153 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.879 that mean is that a coincidence? Is there something we should learn from that 154 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:22.240 information and apply it to our own particular portfolios. Well, when the US 155 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.679 government allowed that word really sticks out to me. Allowed people to own gold 156 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.879 again. They reclassified gold as a commodity rather than a paper currency backstop. 157 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.200 And that's in spite of the fact that the US itself hoards and holds the 158 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.399 highest amount of physical gold in its own reserves. All countries, all central 159 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:54.240 banks, all financial institutions, even the IMF itself own substantial gold holdings. 160 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.399 And if all these entities that control our FIAT paper money system have physical gold, 161 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.799 shouldn't you as well? Well? The good news, my friends, 162 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.720 is that you can do that, and you can talk with our friends at 163 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.240 Harvard Gold about what that would look like and learn more about that. So 164 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.080 reach out to them harvardgoldgroup dot com. That is the website where you can 165 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.440 get more information.

Harvard Gooldgroup dot com promo code todd gets you a two hundred 168 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.840 and fifty dollars credit. So let's get back to how things are shaping up 169 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.159 in the campaign. So we've already talked about Trump's pushing these debates and why 170 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.080 shouldn't he. He absolutely should. It's a major advantage for him, and 171 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.399 it's also something the American people they need to see. They need to see 172 00:15:50.679 --> 00:16:00.240 into these president's ideas and in there into their abilities and fitness for off us 173 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.679 directly, without some intermediary telling us just how fit for office they are. 174 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.919 We need to see it for ourselves. And so that's a good thing. 175 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:14.919 But Trump is also Trump is also trying to unite or dare I say, 176 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.600 reunite the party as we move into the heart of this campaign. He's not 177 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:26.840 happy with Marjorie Taylor Green in her effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson. Again. 178 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.080 This is an article here at newsmax dot com. Former President Donald Trump 179 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:37.600 and his team are not happy about Georgia GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Green's threat to 180 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:45.879 pursue ousting speaker Mike Johnson's ousting speaker Mike Johnson, Politico reported on Thursday. 181 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:52.000 Green on Tuesday escalated her criticism of Johnson in a lengthy letter to colleagues and 182 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.039 renewed threats of a snap vote that could remove him from office. She filed 183 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.400 emotion to vacate the chair Mark twenty second. Although the congresswoman has been a 184 00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.880 supporter of Trump, the former president's team is worried Green's threat to create another 185 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:15.880 speakership battle will undercut the party in November's general election. So someone from Trump's 186 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.799 team told Politico that this is a one hundred percent distraction, it's unwanted, 187 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.160 and it's just stupid. We're not going to get trapped into this cycle of 188 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:37.519 bull excrement that comes out of members of the House. So it's fair to 189 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.319 say, another person inside Trump's team said, allegedly according to this article, 190 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.960 it's fair to say we don't think she's being constructive. The internal fighting is 191 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.319 not appreciated by Trump, and so like here we are, and the timing 192 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.359 matters, because you'll hear me say on this program on a fairly regular basis 193 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.960 that there's two problems with the Republican Party. One is that they are not 194 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:06.759 conservative and right. They just don't have it in them many times to be 195 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:12.839 conservative. Sometimes they're moderate. Sometimes they dislike some of the benefits that come 196 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.559 along from going along with the statusts of the day. In Washington, d 197 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.079 C. It's easier to get along with the media. You get less hatred 198 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.920 and pushback and all of that, at least that you feel in Washington, 199 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:32.119 D C. Of course, your voters will like you a lot more if 200 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.240 you actually stand up on principle. But many of these folks simply are not 201 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:41.640 conservative enough. And the other problem is that they're not tough enough. Right, 202 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.680 they're not tough enough. They might be conservative, but they just don't 203 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:52.359 have what it takes to fight back against some of the attacks that they are 204 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.480 going to face. So some of it's ideological, and some of it is, 205 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.200 I mean, a character flaw, a character defect, and or you 206 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.279 can say, just succumbing to human nature. It's easier to go along, 207 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.799 to get along than to actually fight for these principles. And so there's a 208 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:17.799 real problem within the Republican Party as it currently stands. But there have been 209 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.799 dramatic steps toward improving it in recent in recent years, and I would credit 210 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:30.240 Trump with a lot of that. But timing is important. Timing is important. 211 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:37.039 We've already, folks, the teams have been chosen effectively for the competition 212 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.559 here in twenty twenty four. I think it's important. I think it's very 213 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.160 important who is on our team, so to speak, who are slate of 214 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:52.440 candidates are, who's in positions of leadership. But the time to make those 215 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:57.079 decisions, that window is really it's closed, or it's very close to being 216 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:03.759 completely closed. And it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have those battles. In 217 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.559 fact, you'll hear me talk about that on a regular basis. We have 218 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.160 to have these battles. We have to have more conservatives in positions of leadership 219 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.759 in the Republican Party. We have to have more conservatives who are there encouraging 220 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:22.240 conservatives to remain conservative. Once they have you know, authority or power within 221 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.160 the party, they have leadership, they can actually direct a lot of what's 222 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:33.759 going on. However, that doesn't mean that all of these fights are worth 223 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.519 having at all times. And that's really the point here. We're at the 224 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.319 point where we have to we have to say, hey, this is it, 225 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.079 this is where we are right now. You take it or leave it. 226 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.480 Trump did a similar thing with this his position on abortion. I don't 227 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:56.119 particularly like it, but Trump's trying to say, look, we've had three 228 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.240 or four years or whatever it's been since the last election to move the needle 229 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.319 on particular issues, to pick our leaders in the House in the Senate, 230 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.680 we're going to pause that it's time to fight over that stuff is over for 231 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.960 now. It doesn't mean it won't happen again, but right now we've got 232 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:22.440 an election to get ready for, and replacing the speaker at this particular juncture 233 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:29.599 is not a good idea strategically, and Trump's sending the message to Marjorie Taylor 234 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.640 Green and anyone else in the House of Representatives who's going to be doing that 235 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.079 or thinking about doing that, they better be extra cautious because Trump can make 236 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:44.000 their lives politically a nightmare here, and he's trying again to prepare for this 237 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.799 final push towards the general election. So we're going to continue this discussion after 238 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.880 the break, my friends. But let me tell you about Nickknack Naturals and 239 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.359 an All.

We're gonna pick up here with just the campaign coming together, 250 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.920 Trump trying to reunite or unite or reunite, depending up how you look at 251 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:02.440 this, the party as we move into the heart of campaign season. Sit 252 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:10.640 tight, my friends, back in just a minute, come back with friends. 253 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:15.839 We are really exploring the ways that Trump is gearing up for this campaign. 254 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.839 In the previous hour, we talked about how Biden was trying to maybe 255 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:27.079 do the same or at least minimize the impact of his decisions the way that 256 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:33.920 he has gone scorched earth on the American economy, on the American system and 257 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.079 all of that. And you know, it's a time as you, as 258 00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:45.440 you move towards election day, it's a time to put your best foot forward. 259 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.079 Right now, it's about creating a narrative. The next the next few 260 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:56.480 months are going to be all about all about creating a narrative that says, 261 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.000 hey, this guy is the best choice for presidents. And so that's why 262 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:08.319 Biden we talked about in another segment of this program earlier, border security, 263 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:14.559 which Biden is ignored for his entire presidency, he's made it much much worse, 264 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:21.319 progressively, worse, dramatically. So as he's made things worse, now 265 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.759 he's wanting to make it look like he's wanting to give the appearance that he's 266 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.640 trying to do something about it. Because again, the analogy I use, 267 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:33.680 it's like when you're with your parents leave for the evening and you're a teenager, 268 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.480 you're left in charge of the house. You want to make sure that 269 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.079 when they come back, they get the impression that you are mature enough to 270 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:47.559 be left in control in the future, in spite of whatever happened, good 271 00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.200 or bad during your time, during their time away, you want to create 272 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.799 the impression that you are worthy. And that's all that's going on here, 273 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:03.480 and even if it means they've got to lie and deceive us, because polling 274 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.599 shows that they're in a terrible position. I mean, the percentage of black 275 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.519 voters that are saying they're going to vote for Trump is incredibly high. I 276 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.920 mean, it's it's unbelievable. Really, it's truly unbelievable. I've got some 277 00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.440 maybe we'll look at that poll in more and more specific detail. But so 278 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:25.279 both parties, both candidates are trying to do this now as we are in 279 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.319 the middle of April, we're not too far. We're about six months out 280 00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:36.119 from the the election, a couple of months out from the party's conventions where 281 00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:40.279 the candidates will be announced and all that stuff, all the all the hoop 282 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:45.400 loss surrounding, the energizing of the of the base, and all of that 283 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.920 that happens at the at the convention that's about to happen here in a couple 284 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.519 of months as well. I mean, we're we're in this final little spot 285 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.559 before we move into the final push to the general election. And so we're 286 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.119 talking about debates and Trump wants to move those up and so forth, but 287 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.720 and to have more of those. He's also trying to create peace in the 288 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.039 party. He's trying to say, look, put all these problems aside. 289 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:15.079 We now are locked and loaded metaphorically leftists were locked and loaded on the task 290 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.599 before us, which is winning here in twenty twenty four. So let's move 291 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:26.880 these debates up. Why isn't Biden wanting to debate me? Marjorie Taylor Green, 292 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.440 cool your jets. We're not going to have another fight over the speaker. 293 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:34.279 And in fact, I'm even going to bring in people like my former 294 00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:38.359 opponents in this primary. Although Trump didn't really have any opponents in the primary. 295 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.119 That was a joke. We told you that. You knew that, 296 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.519 But we told you that from the beginning. Trump was never he was the 297 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.279 nominee of choice. It was a total effort and futility for people like Ron 298 00:26:51.319 --> 00:27:00.480 DeSantis and Mike Pence and Chris Christie and whoever else ran Nikki Haley effort and 299 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:06.480 futility. Trump was always going to be the nominee, almost in spite of 300 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:11.559 anything that happened regarding criminal trials and everything else. But Trump is now trying 301 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.799 to unite and bring the party together. It's also why I don't want to 302 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.279 get into this. I've talked about this earlier. He's made the decision that 303 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:26.119 he's not going to push a national abortion ban, a federal abortion ban based 304 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.000 upon fifteen weeks or any number. He's saying, let's leave that up to 305 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.880 the states. He's made the political calculation that that's as far as he can 306 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:41.400 go with that issue without creating political political nightmare scenario for himself in twenty twenty 307 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:47.319 four and for the Republican Party. And so I can understand the realities of 308 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.519 that, while at the same time wishing and hoping and continuing to fight for 309 00:27:53.559 --> 00:28:00.440 a situation where maybe next time will be in a position to to take additional 310 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:06.640 steps on protecting the life of the unborn. So, but the other thing 311 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:12.480 that's happening is that Trump is putting I mean, he's uniting the party. 312 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:18.359 We've got Ron de Santis out there, Ron de Santis who dropped out of 313 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.559 the race, what a couple of months ago. I don't even know the 314 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:26.519 dates. Look, I thought I had so much respect for DeSantis. I 315 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.319 remember when he announced his campaign. You can go back and listen to that 316 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:34.839 show. I said, whoever is advising Ron de Santis just made a massive 317 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:40.079 strategic mistake. I mean, they may have harmed his ability to ever run 318 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:45.559 again. It's really unfortunate, and I get it. I know that the 319 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.480 opportunity to be president of the United States, if people are asking you to 320 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:56.359 run, that doesn't necessarily happen more than once. You can't necessarily capture that 321 00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.160 lightning in the bottle on demand. So I understand that you think, hey, 322 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.680 the opportunities here, I need to pursue this. I also understand. 323 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:12.079 I also understand that the circumstances were such that this is Trump's this is Trump's 324 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.319 nomination. It always has been. I'm not saying we shouldn't have had a 325 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:21.160 primary. They're free to run. I'm just questioning the judgment. I'm questioning 326 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:25.079 the judgment. I'm questioning the decision. Of course, the main motivation of 327 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:29.519 these folks that ran was they hoped or they were waiting for Trump to face 328 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.599 so much opposition that he had no other choice but to drop out of the 329 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.880 of the campaign. That was the strategy that all of these folks had hoped 330 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.319 for, and of course it did not materialize. And so now we're at 331 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:47.039 a point where Trump's the nominee, presumptive nominee here, and now we've got 332 00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:51.079 to begin to mend, to mend, fix it, to mend fences, 333 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.480 to build bridges, as we would like to say in this country, building 334 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.480 these bridges. And so DeSantis is out there going to be fundraising for Trump. 335 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.359 That's a good Let's let's see headline here postmillennial dot Com. Here's what 336 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:14.559 it says. DeSantis told quote, welcome back by Trump after Florida governor pledges 337 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:21.079 to fundraise. According to a report, here's what Here's what Trump had to 338 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.240 say today. I heard very nice things. I heard He's going to campaign 339 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.519 very hard for me, and he's going to raise a lot of money for 340 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.480 me. Ron, We like you, welcome back and Trump. Trump is 341 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:37.720 a master of this. I wish more politicians could could be like this, 342 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.799 because it seems like some of these folks take things so personally. They're not 343 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:51.440 able, they're not able to put difficult circumstances in the past behind them. 344 00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:56.880 I mean, when you're when you're challenging Trump in a primary or whatever. 345 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.599 He is going to come at you. He's done this repeat now for as 346 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.599 long as he's been on the political stage, and no one has been able 347 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:11.160 to survive that that buzzsaw. I mean, he comes at you full speed, 348 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.839 full throttle. He stops at nothing. People don't know how to fight 349 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:21.480 him. He doesn't necessarily fight quote unquote fair as people would think. And 350 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:29.000 it's not pretty. It's not pretty. But but once the dust settles and 351 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:37.160 one sees the winner, then he has an amazing ability to reconcile and put 352 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.839 all that stuff behind, put all that stuff behind him, and so here 353 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:42.839 he is. I mean, he's out there. Remember he had called Ron 354 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:48.359 de Santis Ronda SANCTIMONIU is probably a lot worse than that. But he's out 355 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.519 there constantly criticizing DeSantis when he's in the race. Now he's welcoming him back. 356 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.160 And this is a sign of a Republican party that's trying to move forward, 357 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:02.759 trying to move forward here as we get into the meat of this campaign, 358 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:10.000 in fact, it makes me want to look at this. Bear with 359 00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.400 me here, I'm looking at this survey data, this research data done by 360 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:20.000 rasping me some based on recent polling. So if you look here, here 361 00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.279 we go. This is what I wanted to see, and this is interesting 362 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.039 to me. This is based upon survey data. I referenced this in a 363 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.279 previous hour, but surveyed. I might have to get into this next segment 364 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.480 as I look at the clock, but as we look at this survey data 365 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:38.000 that was from a survey conducted March thirty first through April second, you'll see 366 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:45.039 just how much more united the Republican Party is than the Democrat Party. And 367 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.160 Trump's going to be a big part of that. I think He's going to 368 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.640 move these numbers even further in the right direction. So we'll talk about that 369 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.640 in the time we have remaining. Next next segment, my friends, but 370 00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.599 did you know?

When we get back, 381 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:58.519 I want to talk about the uniting of the Republican Party as we move 382 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:00.839 into the selection season, the import and so that and the direction that that 383 00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.039 is taking under now Trump's leadership. Quick time out, my friends, back 384 00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:24.559 in just a minute. All right, my friends. So I want to 385 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.519 get to this in the time that we have remaining. I had mentioned that 386 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:34.599 one of the main things that needs to happen now begin to start happening. 387 00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:38.679 And it's been happening in general, but we have to begin the process of 388 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:44.559 bringing the party together. And I think Trump is very good at this. 389 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:51.280 Now the conventional wisdom of that Trump just creates all this havoc and turmoil. 390 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:58.119 But if you are willing to work with Trump in good faith, I just 391 00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.920 think that the chances are extra ordinarily good that he will find a way to 392 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.280 make that happen. He will work with you to figure that out. And 393 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.400 so that's what I would say to my Republican friends. And I'm again a 394 00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:15.679 conservative. There's lots of things I have problems with regarding the Republican Party, 395 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:25.559 but it is our best chance to move the conservative movement forward politically. It 396 00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:30.599 is the vehicle that gives us the best opportunity to do that. So a 397 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.239 question was asked on this Rasmussen poll that I've referenced a couple times in the 398 00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.440 program today. And here's the question. If the twenty twenty four presidential election 399 00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:45.159 were between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who would you vote 400 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:49.519 for? Now, I had given you the data based upon the response of 401 00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:54.199 those who were hispanic. Now this is all people who responded to that, 402 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:59.920 but they've broken it down by party. So Trump is up forty nine four 403 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:05.320 one in this poll, forty nine to forty one. Eight percent said that 404 00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:08.360 they would vote for another candidate. Three percent said that they were not sure. 405 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.840 Now, when you break it out and say to the Republicans, how 406 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.840 many of you are going to vote for Trump or Biden? Eighty three percent 407 00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:24.079 say they're going to vote for President Trump, one percent says they're not sure, 408 00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:32.480 five percent is going to vote for another candidate supposedly, and only eleven 409 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.519 percent, but that's still eleven percent would vote for President Joe Bribery. So 410 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:44.400 when you look at the Democrats, however, when you look at the Democrats, 411 00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:47.360 so eighty three percent of the Republicans have committed, at least in this 412 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:55.800 survey, they are voting for the Republican nominee. The Democrats, only seventy 413 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:05.119 four percent are going to vote for Biden. Seventy four percent have basically decided 414 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.280 to vote for their own political parties nominee, five percent say they're going to 415 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:19.280 vote for someone else, two percent are not sure, and eighteen percent eighteen 416 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:25.840 percent, almost almost one in five Democrats are going to vote for Trump. 417 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:34.440 Now. So my point here is to say, and you remember back in 418 00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:39.360 twenty twenty twenty, Trump had a very high number. He was in the 419 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.639 nineties, ninety plus percent of Republicans said they were going to vote for Trump. 420 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:51.559 I imagine that's where this number is going to get for Trump over time. 421 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.880 You know, some of this stuff is still that, these wounds are 422 00:37:53.920 --> 00:38:00.280 still fresh. Some of this stuff, you know, people didn't like like 423 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:06.639 Trump criticizing their preferred choice as candidate, whether it was Chris Christi or Nicky 424 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.559 Haley or Ron DeSantis. But now you begin the process of some of this 425 00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:16.599 reconciliation. Now you begin the process of framing the election in such a way 426 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.119 that it needs to be understood. It's no longer Trump was too hard on 427 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:28.239 my guy, on my candidate. I can't believe he said that. Those 428 00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.840 emotions start to wane and you begin to look at the realities. The realities 429 00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:37.000 are there are one of two people that are going to be President of the 430 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.599 United States, I mean, barring something extraordinary, one of two people. 431 00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:45.360 It's going to be President Donald J. Trump, or it's going to be 432 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:52.000 President Joseph Robinette's bribery. And if you call yourself a Republican, if you 433 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:55.559 call yourself a Republican and you recognize that reality, you know, you don't 434 00:38:55.559 --> 00:39:00.280 get any points. You don't get any points for some sort of you know, 435 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.840 a virtuous vote. Those are the choices. One of those two people 436 00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:10.719 is going to be president of the United States. And if you don't vote 437 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:16.280 for Trump, but let's say you don't even vote for Biden, that's let's 438 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.000 not put the worst case scenario out there. But if you don't vote for 439 00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:22.800 Trump and vote for someone else, that's akin to half of vote for Biden. 440 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.360 That's a vote for half half of Biden, is what that is? 441 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:31.039 One half of a vote for Biden. If you vote for Biden, that's 442 00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:36.639 a full vote for Biden. And I would say, what part of the 443 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:43.440 Republican Party's platform are you even agreeing with if you're able to cast a ballot 444 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:49.119 for Joseph Robinette Bribery. And I think that people will begin to see that 445 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:55.000 once the emotions of the of the campaign, of the primary campaign start to 446 00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:01.840 start to fade away, they begin to see what reality is. They're reminded 447 00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:09.639 that it is Trump who put Neil Gorsich and Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Cony Barrett 448 00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:14.639 on the Supreme Court. Even though they've not necessarily been perfect, it's certainly 449 00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:20.679 better than the alternative. They might be upset that Trump is not prepared to 450 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:25.679 endorse a federal abortion band, but yet they're going to look back and remember 451 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:32.119 and realize that Trump is the very reason why roe versus. Wade was overturned 452 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:38.800 because of the justices he put on the Supreme Court. And I believe that 453 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:43.360 when the dust settles, ninety plus percent of Republicans are going to vote for 454 00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:47.159 Trump, and I just don't see more than eighty percent of Democrats voting for 455 00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:52.000 Biden. Time will tell, anyway. I got to wrap up, my 456 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:53.719 friends. Thank you so much for listening. I hope you have a wonderful 457 00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:55.440 day. SDG.
