of inflation. If you overwhelm my consensus, it's going to pop up a little bit and then go back down. No one's talking about this great, great deal. So again, if it turns out that what I've done so far, what we've done so far, is a mistake, it's going to show. On issue number one of the economy, it's a pretty poor outlook from the American people. If Biden is not getting good marks on the economy right now, only 31% say that they approve of Biden's handling of the economy. Only 36% believe Biden can make good decisions on economic policy. That's a 20 point drop since 2021. I wonder why. 49% bad, 26% good in terms of how people feel about Bidenomics. It's in the cellar. 33, 62 on the economy. He's almost as much underwater as he's ever been. 78% of voters view the economy negatively and 67% say the worst isn't over yet. His handling of inflation in particular remains low. President Biden's rating on handling inflation at higher prices is underwater by 40 points. A lot of people think that prices would continue to go up under his policies. We should see a 10 point advantage for Republicans on the issue of the economy.

A photo taken inside a large building entrance/portico undergoing renovation, showing tall classical stone columns with ornate capitals surrounded by extensive multi-level metal scaffolding with mesh platforms. Several workers wearing hard hats (white and green) and work clothes are standing on different scaffold levels, some appearing to be painting or working on the columns. The floor is covered with protective drop cloths, and construction materials are visible including orange industrial fans, white and red paint buckets, a rolled-up paper/protective covering, a black trash bin, and coiled hoses/cables. Through the open doorway/glass at the center back, another light-colored classical stone building and green trees are visible outside, along with stone steps leading down on the left side of the frame.

-I'm not running to terminate the ACA, as Crooked Joe Biden says all over the place. I'm running to close the border, stop inflation, make our economy great, strengthen our military, and make the ACA, or Obamacare, as it's sometimes known, much better, stronger, and far less expensive, because it's much too expensive now and it's not very good. We're gonna make it much better, much stronger. In other words, make the ACA much, much better and far less money cost to the people. We don't want people paying the kind of numbers that they're being forced to pay. It's ridiculous. To our great American citizens who have been decimated by Biden, his record, his inflation, his bad economy, Afghanistan, catastrophe, and just about everything else, we're going to make the ACA much better than it is right now and much less expensive for you. Crooked Joe Biden is by far the worst president in the history of the United States. You're going to go to the best president in the history of the United States, me.

I tell you what happened, he was so bad with Afghanistan, it was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should have fired those generals, like I fired the one that you mentioned, and so he's got no love lost, but he should have fired those generals. No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, so we left billions of dollars of equipment behind, we lost 13 beautiful soldiers, and 38 soldiers were obliterated, and by the way we left people behind too, we left American citizens behind. When Putin saw that, he said, you know what, I think we're going to go in and maybe take my, this was his dream, I talked to him about it, his dream, the difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine, never, just like Israel would have never been invaded.

A line chart on a white background titled "U.S. Natural Gas Production Hits Record High". A light-blue line runs from about 70 in 2010 up to about 137 in mid-2026, with a dip around 2020-2021. Dark diamond markers on the line show the months a new record was set. A callout points to the final diamond: "new record high July 2026, 137 Bcf/d". A second callout explains the diamonds. A gold circular seal with an eagle and the numbers "45|47" sits in each top corner. The chart asserts that US natural gas output has risen steadily and reached an all-time high in July 2026.

of this one. Okay. The president Republicans most admire. It's Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison. A majority of Republicans say 53% say he's the Republican president they most admire. Ronald Reagan who traditionally has won that. Donald Trump nearly triples up on this. Reagan at just 18%. And then Abraham Lincoln who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time. But Republicans say that the president that they most admire by what is this this is six seven times as many Donald John Trump at 53% easily crushing a blink in at 8% and the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president as well. Don feel like this slide might end up on a printout at his desk.

Welcome back, America. We're here with one of the great civil rights criminal defense lawyers of our time, David Shone. He also represented President Trump in one of the impeachment cases. You're familiar with him. David Shone, I want to talk about Judge Chunken for a moment. I've made the case that this setting the date on March 4th violates the Sixth Amendment, effective representation by counsel. There's 12.8 million pages of documents. You have five months to prepare. Even the feds couldn't say that they've ever had a case where five months was enough. And this is a very complex case. You have a lot of questions that are raised for the first time, complexity involving a former president, motions, filings. She also sets the date one day before Super Tuesday, the most important date in the election cycle in the Republican primary. She also jumps the line, jumps in front of the first case that's in Florida with Judge Cannon, who already set her trial date for May. And I'm sure that's created a lot of chaos down there on the other case. My argument, David Shone, is she's doing this. She wants a Democrat jury. She wants at least one conviction on one of the counts. So, Donald Trump is walking around with a scarlet letter. Convicted felons are the likes of Chris Christie and others, as well as Democrats can say, well, he's a convicted felon. What's your take on this? Well, I think we've seen just that sort of thing in some of her words. In other words, the lady doth protest too much, methinks. She has made clear that this is only, this is going to be treated like every other case for every other defendant and she won't cow-tow to election concerns and that sort of thing very defensively. Of course, it's not like any other case. There's a great public interest. The government spoke about a public interest in a speedy trial rather than the defendant's interest in a speedy trial. There's a greater public interest here in the election and the democratic process and letting that democratic process run its course. I had a misdemeanor case in this same district set for eight months in the future, not this kind of schedule. This schedule is outrageous. Nobody could prepare in this timeframe, certainly not these lawyers. It's once more, unfortunately, the political process reaching another branch of government where it has no place. And I earlier read what the code of professional conduct is for judges and this would seem to me to violate it in multiple ways. That's number one. Number two, she says it's like any other case, whether it's athletes or anything else. And yet the Department of Justice for several decades, Democrat and Republican attorneys generals have issued memos in March of election years specifically saying this is not like any other case. You better make sure that when you conduct investigations that you do not interfere with a campaign and they go further. You're not to charge people before a campaign unless you get a sign off by the attorney general of the United States himself. But they give warning after warning after warning that this is different, that you are not supposed to use the criminal justice system to affect an election. Yet we have a prosecutor and a judge who are doing exactly that. No? Yeah. Well, I don't think you got the most recent memo, which was if Trump is involved, ignore all previous memos for every other election. No, you're a hundred percent right. In my view, it violates the fifth and the sixth amendment rights. There's no possible way you hit on the most important one, the effective assistance of counsel, but also due process, all of the fair trial rights, the right to compel witnesses. He can't even sort out who the witnesses would be. They don't know what the exculpatory evidence would be. And the prosecutor said, well, they streamlined things and they've gone through and made it easier. It's not for the prosecutor to decide what evidence the defense finds most important. The defense has to do the painstaking work of going through the evidence. Listen, I've had experience with two members of a couple of members of this Mr. Smith's team. And especially in this DC process, I have right now a sanctions motion going against JP Cooney, the lead fellow in this case, and Molly Gaston in another case in this district, we're awaiting a hearing because of their outrageous government misconduct. And in that case, the judge said he's very concerned about their misconduct and he's concerned that they don't seem to be concerned, but we haven't had the hearing yet. So Trump is a speedy trial on behalf of the government, not on behalf of the defender or the public. Let's make that clear. And you have a matter before one of these judges in the same district and they can't seem to get around to it, right? Right. I've got a case actually with judge Chutkin and another judge in this district, Judge Walton, both of whom I'm sure in another setting of fine judges, but literally I've had a motion to dismiss and those are civil cases, but important cases with claims hanging over my client's head. And then literally I've had motions to dismiss pending for over three years without any action on them. Well, maybe judge Chutkin can put that in the front of her calendar and work that out. I mean, it's been sitting there for three years. Yeah, this is a railroad job. That's all it is. You're in simple.
