So when I'm president of the United States and we did one great job, we, you know, we did great in 2016. We actually did much better in 2020, but we're going to be very careful. We're not going to let that happen again. On day one, I will tell Pennsylvania energy workers to frack, frack, frack and drill, drill, drill, drill, baby drill. We're going to frack, frack, frack. We will have energy independence and energy dominance as we did just four short years ago. We were energy independent four years ago. Can you believe now we get our energy from Venezuela. What's that all about from Venezuela? Isn't that wonderful? But if Kamala is reelected, your course will go up and your lights will go out. That's what's going to happen. These stupid people. It's hard to believe. You know, you get angry because they just sometimes you get and you want to be lighthearted, right? And we have a great audience that people that love the country, people that built the country, you built the country. And then you see these people, they want to destroy it. And by the end of your speech, you're furious, you know, you're furious because all the stuff that we're saying, it's true. They want to destroy the country. Remember, she will never, ever let you frack. You're not going to frack if she won. You're not going to frack. She's been against it her whole life. She just did this for an election.

As you know early voting is underway so when the polls open tomorrow we're here, we're finally here. And you know we're way up in your, I want to say, look let's do it this way, the main thing is to win. Let's say we're one point down, I don't want to tell you, we're actually up, but I want to say we're one point down, everybody get to the polls so we get these horrible politicians out of there. We want to get rid of them. You know we're actually up in the polls in Pennsylvania and Michigan and Arizona just came out, we're up in Arizona very substantially. We're way up in the polls and the only place we're down, New York Times has a headline that we're down a little bit. But the only poll, every poll, you got to see these polls, they're the best polls, New York Times as we call it, the failing New York Times, it's fake news. people is sick. You remember in 2016 they had to do an editorial apologizing to their readers because they said, "He's going to lose. He's going to lose. I swear he's going to lose." And then I won and they lost thousands and thousands of, I love that, it's going to happen again. No, I came on today to the plane and Susie and everybody says, "Sir, you're up in this poll. You're up in this poll. You're up in this poll. You're up in every poll." And then I picked up the New York Times and said, "I'm losing by a whisker." They hope. They hope. No, they're fake news. You know, they're all fake news. These people, they're totally crooked. They're so crooked. They're the enemy of the people. They are. They are the enemy of the people. So get everyone you know and vote immediately because that's the only one that counts, you know? November 5th, that's called our big poll. That's the real poll, right? And they're going to cheat like hell and everything else. You know, if they only cheat a lot, we're in great shape. But if they cheat in record-setting numbers, which they're capable of doing, I can't promise, but they are cheaters. That's the way they do. When they have their first meetings, they, their first, our first meeting is where would be a good place to go? How about Scranton? You know what their first meeting is? Their first meeting is how do we cheat? How do we cheat? That's all that. Because, you know, when you think about it, who can win with high taxes, open borders, allowing murderers to come in? You saw that last week. 13,099 murderers allowed to come in through them. Over three and a half, 13, many of them have murdered more than one person. Is there anybody in the audience that's in that group, please? Because if they are, we want to get the hell out of here or get him out of here. If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole thing. It's very simple.

the world of high fashion to meeting the man who would change the course of her life, Melania Trump, offering a rare glimpse as first lady and much more. It's all in her brand new self titled memoir called Melania, which you can get a copy of at MelaniaTrump.com and Melania Trump joins us now to talk about it. I read this entire thing cover to cover last night and you tell the people about riding in the limousine with Michelle Obama on inauguration day. You talk about some of your battles with the press. What was something you put in this book that you've been wanting to get off your chest for all of these years that people really need to say? Well, everything, everything. I think it's a lot of misinformation out there about me. So that's why I said that I think it's the time that people hear from me and my story, my perspective and the truth. We're about the truth on the show. Judge Jeanine, do you have a question? You've been very excited about this interview. I have so many questions, but I'll start with one that is clearly serious. The former president has survived two assassination attempts and Kamala's camp has just issued yesterday that they're going to go more negative. The Biden Harris team continues with the negative rhetoric, you know, whether it's Hitler or, you know, you know, he's tearing down democracy. Are you worried about your husband's safety in the next 29 days? Of course I do. Yes, I do. I think, you know, when they call him, he's a threat to democracy. Let's ask ourselves who is really a threat to democracy. They are ongoing with the law fair against the former president, as well as, you know, trying to get him off the voting ballots and trying to, you know, silence him. So yes, of course, I was always afraid what can happen and that they continuing with that kind of language is just they thought it's a toxic, toxic atmosphere. Jessica Tarlov, I mean, Harold Ford Jr., do you have a question for the former first lady? I do. First of all, great to see you. And we're so glad that you're here. Thank you. When you think about some of the positive things that you experienced in the White House when you and President Trump were there, what were some of the things that made you most joyful about policy and the things that he did? Well, he did a lot and he took care of the military. And I really love to visit them actually all around the world, even when I went to Iraq for Christmas, when I went to Walter Reed and visiting the soldiers, wounded soldiers, and also when I visited the aircraft on the middle of the ocean. So very exciting and all the people that I met over four years, really, really special. And they always, you know, they stay with you. Sometimes you still remember them. So it's always something that I'm looking forward to it. When Dana went to Iraq, she had a black eye. I'm very glad that didn't happen to you. I'm the only one who got hurt in that whole thing. That's true. But I recovered. In the book, you do talk about the power of the office of the First Lady to do good. And I think from afar, what I witnessed was that you seemed very joyful when you were certainly around the military, but also when you were around children. And I remember early on, you went and you read to children and it was a special moment. And I'm wondering if former President Trump wins again. I know that foster care is an issue that you care about and it's a system that is broken. There's a lot of organizations that help, like Selfless Love out of Florida and Texas. They're amazing. But a push from the White House could really help. Is there an issue like that or anything else that you kind of wish that you had another chance to work on? Well, I will bring my experiences back, what I learned in the four years. And as well, I will continue my Be Best initiative for children, for women. And also, I will continue with Fostering the Future initiative that I established after I left the White House in 2021. And I have two platforms, MelaniaTrump.com and USMemorabilia.com, that support scholarships for fostering children and fostering community. I have many students now in. So I will continue with that and we need to give back to those children and support them. So once they have education, they could have a great job. And after that, they could give back to communities. Greg Gutfeld. Oh, I love the cover. Because it's black. It's flack. Like you, I was a model. There's some magazines you've probably never heard of. They're out of business now. Do you ever stop and think about your life and wonder how did you get here? Like you came to the United States in '96, you arrived at JFK, and then you end up in the White House. And did you, like, did you, obviously you didn't expect it, but do you ever, like, does it ever kind of have these moments where how did I get here? Yeah, it's an incredible journey, an incredible story where I came from a small town in Slovenia and then went to Milan, Paris, New York. And you know, you never know what can happen in life, right? We don't know the future. We don't know what will happen next year. So you know, here we are. Would you have married Donald Trump if you had a crystal ball that said he would be president? Huh, that's an interesting question. By the way, does he ever sleep? He doesn't sleep much. He does, of course. Does he wear pajamas? No. No. What does he wear when he sleeps, Melania? Well, one of the things she does get into in the book, Greg, since I've read it, and you haven't, obviously, the first date and how he courted you and that courtship was very special. These are just many of the things you reveal in the book. What are those moments when Greg alluded to it? Where am I? How am I here? You were in the Situation Room during the Al-Baghdadi raid. That must have been pretty intense. It was. It was amazing to experience that kind of action, really, and soldiers. They were so brave. And interesting, I didn't put in the book, actually, but after that, in a few months, I met those pilots in North Carolina that they flew over. So they explained to me what they need to do, how they need to prepare. They cannot tell anybody. They go, and they're called to duty, and right away, they go on the flight, and they tell them where they need to go. So very interesting story, yes, but I was there, and my husband, he called me and he said, like, he wants that I see it, and it was incredible what they did. Did you get to meet the dog, too? I did. I did. Yes. And you were there, too. But you met Conan, too. Yes. It's on the back of one of my books. And you were so brave. You went right there to him, and she would start, you know, it's amazing. You were so brave with him. I think the dog was scared of Janine. Actually, it was Laura and I, we kept calling the president and said, "Please, can you bring Conan in?" But yeah, it was fun. Can I ask another question? Sure. Okay. There are a lot of women who are on the fence, not a lot, a few. What would you say to them regarding why Donald Trump should be president? Well, we could see in the four years that he was there, country was in great shape. Country was safe. Country was prosperous. And he would bring that back. When you are hopefully first lady again, will you continue with the Be Best initiative? I know that was near and dear to your heart in those four years. I will do that. And also, you know, we need to see what will happen in a few months and what next year will bring, and new issues will come, right? So you need to tackle those issues, and you need to... And one of them is that what we have seen, there's an increase in crime against women, and that's been happening in all of the stories that we talk about when you have an illegal migrant crime. It's not just women, but there is a particular attack against women that's happening, and I'm not necessarily asking... That just came to me. I didn't plan on asking you about that, but it does seem to me like you don't know what the issues are going to be. North Carolina has to be rebuilt. Tennessee has to be rebuilt. There's so many things that are... Now Florida is coming, right? Yes. The big hurricane in Florida. Yes. I'm glad that many people, they move... They're leaving. They're leaving. They move away, so they will be safe. Quick like question. How's Barron doing at NYU? He's doing great. He loves his classes and his professors. He's doing well. He's thriving, and he's enjoying to be in New York City again. Is there something you would want people to know about your husband that they probably don't know, that they should know? Something that they would be, "Oh, that's... That's pretty good." Well, I have some stories, and Jesse, you read it in the book. So they're kind of cute, nice stories, and he's very warm, he's fun, he has a great personality. And all he wants, he's very passionate about this country. All he wants, he wants to make this country safe, so everybody has jobs and enjoying family life. And he's treating everybody equal. He doesn't... Man or woman. He could be tough on a woman. He could be tough on a man. We are serious. Does he make you laugh? Yes, he does, of course, yes. That's the key. He is. He is. All right. Well, thank you very much, Melania. And congratulations. Good luck with the book. Thank you. Melania, there it is. Where books are sold or you go to your website. What was the website again? MelaniaTrump.com. That's easy to remember.

So the border crisis is a top issue for voters and in a shocking twist on 60 Minutes last night, Kamala Harris was actually asked in detail about the crisis to their credit, but of course she refused to answer not once, not twice, but three times. Take a look. The rivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did? It's a long-standing problem and solutions are at hand and from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions. What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place? The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. But the numbers did quadruple. And the numbers today, because of what we have done, we have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half. We have cut the flow of fentanyl by half, but we need Congress to be able to act. Was it a mistake? Here with more, Texas Governor Greg Abbott. For three years she told the country that the border was safe, the border was secure, the border is secure, the border is secure. I didn't go to the border, but I haven't been to Europe. And then suing you and going after Ted Cruz, who they're trying to defeat in Texas, because both you and Senator Cruz have been fighting to keep Texans and the country safe. Your reaction to that? Listen, Sean, I think that interview is disqualifying. She has no answer to what's going on in the border. She has three and a half years, almost four years now in office as vice president and cannot articulate what needs to be done to secure the border. But on top of that, she was flat out lying to the American public, because she talked about from day one, they had solutions. To be clear, from day one, what they did was to gut all of the policies that President Trump put into place that secured the border far more secure than it's been in about 40 years. And ever since then, what Harris has done is refused to do anything to implement any type of border security. She's had more than three years. If there's any American who thinks that once she's elected president, suddenly she will have some great solution to secure the border, they're grossly mistaken. On top of that, Sean, she didn't say anything about the thousands of criminals who've been released across our country under their watch, knowingly allowing them in, making America far more dangerous. The last thing I will say is this, she falsely took credit for the decrease in border crossings. Know this and the action that they supposedly took was this June, border crossings begin going down last year as because of the border security measures that Texas put into place from Brownsville to El Paso, illegal border crossings have now gone down in Texas by 85%. Because they've gone down so much in Texas, that's why they've gone down a lot across the United States of America. Governor, we have dozens of Americans that have been murdered by Harris, Biden illegals, raped victims of other violent crime. We have cartels, we have gang leaders, we have drug dealers, we have known terrorists that they have allowed into the country. We see the human toll, we see the financial toll, and she wants to give them all free housing, food, healthcare, education, legal driver's licenses, free college education, and free sex change surgery, and also amnesty or a path to citizenship as she calls it. That to me would be rewarding, law breaking, and people that don't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty. Now, she's never answered that question. Sean, it's hard to imagine a border crisis getting worse than it currently is under the Biden administration, but worse it will get if Harris is elected. Because in addition to all of those enticements that you're talking about that would attract millions more people to come here illegally, the dangers that currently exist and the dangers that will exist under a President Harris are beyond the scale of what we can tolerate. Including among the victims is Jocelyn Nungary from Houston, Texas. Nungary from Houston, Texas, who was killed by, allegedly killed now by members of Trende Aragua. Trende Aragua is in the United States because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have opened the border and allowed them in. That's a life that should be still alive today and something that Kamala Harris does not call care about. Yeah, and by the way, you and Senator Cruz have been on the forefront of this. They're spending, what, up to $100, $200 million to take out Senator Cruz. Will they be successful? We have 10 seconds. So listen, Ted Cruz is in a tough race. He's been grossly outspent. Ted Cruz can use all the assets he can get to make sure he can defeat Colin Allred.

>> America first legal founder and former senior adviser to president Trump Stephen Miller is here, you know. It's it's not that hard to handle a hurricane if you're a politician, you just don't play politics hugs and people get him the resources apparently she can't do it. >> She was asked a question point blank up until today have you ever called the governor of Florida about any hurricane during your entire time as vice president and her non answer is an answer. It's no she hasn't cared at all not even a little bit and we saw that lack of caring when his borders are what did she do she diverted all the FEMA funds to illegal aliens now FEMA is broke they can't help Americans why because common the cares about illegals more and as for Joe Biden stepping all over her message and correcting her and want to Santa's I'm willing to give Joe Biden the benefit of the doubt and say he's ending his time as president the very patriotic act which is telling America in the only ways that he can that common is unfit that she's a liar and that she shouldn't be president is about as much as he can do without losing his exit package for himself and his family do you believe that Biden deep down wants her to lose because he could say see I told you show you never should have whacked me I would have done better against Trump see look what you did now we lost the House Senate and the White House. I think yes, but I also think he knows she's an airhead like this let's not like get around here. He's been in meetings with her how many times you think it was rolling his eyes just waiting for her to stop talking to get out of the room when she's pontificating about burdens and unburdens and solutions and all the work that she's done he was probably begging the sweet Lord for mercy to just come to stop talking and leave the room to the grown-ups to get back to business. I am sure I am certain that the idea that a dunderhead like her would be kicking him off the ballot is more than this man can possibly stop we heard some sound at the top when the view asks it would you have done anything differently with Joe Biden and she said that nothing really comes to mind. We were talking in the commercial break her entire campaign strategy is based on what like turning the page this was this was literally the entire campaign strategy. Billions of dollars they sat in focus groups for weeks coming up with the slogan new way forward new way forward turn the page turn the page all this candidate had to do this very deeply unoppressive candidate would have to come up with one single thing to justify their campaigns entire narrative she just blew up billions of dollars in very rich Democrats spending that is how empty she is upstairs there is not one thought in that head that is even remotely coach it that's what we're dealing before we let you go we just have to address the elephant in the room, we're getting a lot of text from women about Miller and his appearances and his appearance. Our audience at prime time believes you're some sort of sexual matador what do you have to say for yourself. >> Well I think of advice to any young man that's out there the I married now I have children but I wasn't married that long ago, I was single I was in the market if you're a young man. It's very important election season who's looking to impress ladies to be the alpha to be attractive the best thing you can do is to wear your Trump support on your sleet show that you are a real man show that you are not a better. A proud and loud Trump supporter and you're dating life will be fantastic. I cannot wait to see the text tonight. Stephen Miller, thank you. Thank you take it easy on the ladies.

Laura Trump, RNC co-chair, Laura, it's great to see you tonight, it was great to see you in Butler. I saw you for like a millisecond, got a chance to hug you as you're coming out of the audience there. But let's talk about this for the moment because this really was part of their branding campaign. Kamala Harris, the change agent, and in the New York Times-Siena poll, she does best Donald Trump as being the change candidate somehow among likely women, like likely voters, by two points. What's going on there? Well, I don't believe that poll at all. And by the way, don't take my word for it, take Joe Biden's word for it, because he's the one who told us the other day, Laura, that Kamala Harris has been there side by side with him, making all the decisions, of course, that we've seen in that White House. No one believes that there will be any sort of change with Kamala Harris. The people of this country are begging for Donald Trump to go back in that White House. You were in Butler the other day. You saw the crowd in Butler. That was the biggest crowd I've ever seen at a Trump rally. I couldn't even see the end of it when I was standing up there on stage. Everywhere I go, people are desperate, and they can't afford a Kamala Harris presidency. Look, we're talking about this person trying to get through an interview, let alone do the actual job of being president of the United States, our commander in chief, the leader of the free world. No one buys that Kamala Harris has the capability to do that job. And polls like that, I think, are absolutely ridiculous. I get slipped beverage napkins every time I get on an airplane saying, "We can't wait to vote for Trump. Go Trump, Trump 2024," or people just coming up to me these days, Laura, everywhere I go, saying how excited they are to get out and vote, and vote early when you go vote for Donald Trump. Now, I want to turn to ... We obviously are seeing a horrific hurricane bearing down on Florida now, but we still have North Carolina and the other states affected by Hurricane Helene. Washington Examiner is saying, Laura, that there are 1.2 million registered voters across the 25 disaster counties in western North Carolina as of Sunday. Now, of that total figure, about 491,000 voters were unaffiliated with a party and made up the largest share of the region's voters. Republicans comprise the second highest share of the voters at almost 481,000 and then 294,000 for Democrats. Trump won North Carolina in 2020 by a mere 75,000 votes. Is this a problem, given the fact that we have a lot of voters who are without homes and frankly without resources today in North Carolina? Yeah, well, listen, obviously priority number one is making sure that everyone is safe with any rescue that needs to happen, happens, and that we're thinking about the well-being of people before politics. That said, I get this question quite a bit, you can imagine. This is my home state, North Carolina, and as the co-chair of the RNC, we've thought extensively about this. That's why today we sent out a memorandum to Governor Roy Cooper and the North Carolina General Assembly, asking them, giving them 10 different points in terms of things that we hope they enact and put in place right now to ensure voter access. Because we don't want people who have gone through a horrific tragedy like a hurricane and really lost so much already to lose their ability to vote in this election. So some of these things include allowing folks who have been displaced from their voting county to vote in other counties, or maybe turn an absentee ballot in in other counties, or allowing some of these counties where they've had destruction to use temporary locations or a new location for voters to access. And by the way, I want to let everyone know out there, if you want to be part of a team to help us get access to people in Western North Carolina and likely coming up in Florida who have been displaced, their ability to vote, come join us, donaldjtrump.com/hurricane is a new site we have up right now, Laura. People can volunteer to help us and make sure that these people indeed have an opportunity to vote. They're absolutely vital in an election like this. We cannot leave a single vote on the line, and that's why we're asking everybody to come join our team. And, Laura, does this also mean that legal challenges could be in the offing filed by the Trump campaign or others to ensure that as they're dealing with all of the other nightmares they're dealing with because of these natural disasters, they are still able to vote? But a lot of folks that came up to me in Butler were very worried about that. And I just want to ensure that that's happening. We've not been shy with the lawsuits. I think we're at 109 right now at the RNC. So yes, if needed, we will take legal action. We hope we don't have to go that path. We hope that they do the right thing and make sure that every person in North Carolina and other affected states have the opportunity to vote. We're here to make sure they do certainly from the RNC side. Laura, great to see you tonight. As always, thanks so much.

>> Democrats are in a box, they're trapped inside and it's a box of their own making. Slowly, but surely Kamala Harris is being exposed for what she is, an empty pantsuit. Even when obvious questions are asked, she won't answer them. >> You have changed your position on so many things. You were against fracking, now you're for it. You supported looser immigration policies, now you're tightening them up. You're for Medicare for all, now you're not. So many that people don't truly know what you believe or what you stand for, and I know you've heard that. >> In the last four years, I have been Vice President United States, and I have been traveling our country, and I have been listening to folks, and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus. We are a diverse people, geographically, regionally, in terms of where we are in our backgrounds, and what the American people do want is that we have leaders who can build consensus. Where we can figure out compromise and understand it's not a bad thing, as long as you don't compromise your values, to find common sense solutions, and that has been my approach. >> How does that explain the flip-flopping again? Well, after this interview, Americans will understand why, that the campaign had to keep her so sheltered. But that strategy allowed Donald Trump to run the table, and since the debate, he's been on the move almost without a break. He's the energizer bunny candidate, which is making the media and Democrats very, very anxious. >> He's got such a big problem with men, and there's an under account of the Trump vote. I think there's a misogynation in all of this, black and white men, big problem, but also the business world. They don't think she is serious. They don't think she's a heavyweight. >> Because she's not a heavyweight. Now, think about it, since the coup against Biden, they've tried to promote her as the true change candidate. >> I think people are exhausted, and they're ready to turn the page and chart a new way forward. I believe in my soul and heart, the American people are ready to turn the page. >> I think we all know it's time to turn the page. It's time to turn the page. Well, folks, it's time to turn the page. >> But today on The View, Kamala blew up her own narrative. >> Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years? >> There is not a thing that comes to mind. >> So much for being the change candidate. How does she not have a prepared answer for that question, by the way? Kamala Harris just wrote a devastating campaign commercial for the Trump campaign. Inflation, Afghanistan, the border, all a disaster under Biden. And she can't think of anything she'd do differently. Has the woman not seen the right track, wrong track surveys that are out there? Yeah, not good. If you like the direction that we're going in as a country, high gas prices, high grocery bills, the high cost of insurance, gonna take away your car, the gas powered car, health care costs, Kamala is definitely your gal. She's just another puppet of the failed establishment. She's Biden without the experience. A serious candidate doesn't avoid doing a real press conference and then sit down with a sex and dating podcaster. >> Can you tell the daddy gang, when people tell you no, when people look at you and doubt you, what is that ignite in you? >> I don't hear no, I don't hear no, and I urge all the daddy gang, don't hear no. >> A serious candidate doesn't choose to attack a popular governor, who's been nothing but masterful in leading a state through crises and natural disasters. Here's Kamala, off the cuff. >> NBC is reporting Governor DeSantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes resources and help. How does that hurt the situation here? >> It's utterly irresponsible and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship, is that it's doing the job that you took the most to do, which is to put the people first. >> Now to call her response, dimwitted is an insult to dimwits everywhere. She's not even smart enough to know not to pick a fight with someone who's both really smart and whose state is about to get hit by the worst hurricane in what, a century? >> We've been on an emergency footing for two weeks straight, round the clock 24/7. She has never called on any of the storms we've had since she's been vice president until apparently now, while the sudden is she trying to parachute in and inject herself when she's never shown any interest in the past. We know it's because of politics. We know it's because of her campaign. I have zero time to entertain these political games. >> Again, Kamala's hurricane smear, it's just another fumble, a fumble by a player who never should have been put on the field in the first place. It's so bad that she makes Biden seem presidential and suddenly engaged, engaged enough to let her twist in the wind. >> The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he's gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday and I said, I said, no, you're doing a great job. It's been all being done well. We thank you for it. And I literally gave my personal phone number to call. Maybe Joe Biden is the one turning the page, because even in his diminished state, he probably knows how unserious Kamala is. A serious candidate knows how to answer predictable questions. >> Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and basically handing you a nomination? You didn't have to go through a primary process. You didn't have to fight off other contenders. That's not really the way our system was intended to work. >> President Biden made a decision that I think history is gonna show is rare among leaders, which was to put country before self. And I am proud to have earned the support of the vast majority of delegates and to have been elected the Democratic nominee. >> But I think this truncated process is why people think or say they don't really know who you are. >> Look, I've been in this race for 70 days. It is my responsibility to earn the vote. And I'm gonna work to do that. >> But increasingly, it looks like she's going to be relying on celebrity surrogates to do the heavy lifting for her. >> I would really like it if the discourse could become kinder and more effective. And I think that that will be the case with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. >> Hi, I'm Bruce Springsteen, I'm supporting Kamala Harris for President and Tim Walz for Vice President and opposing Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. >> Glory days have passed you by. And Democrats are desperately hoping that Taylor Swift and Obama somehow carry them to victory as well. I've even heard they're going to beg George W Bush to endorse Kamala Harris. Well, here's the cold hard truth, Harris is simply not capable of performing the type of functions that we as Americans associate with being the President of the United States. She doesn't understand the issues at the level of detail necessary to make effective decisions. She doesn't have the type of political support necessary to bend official Washington to her will. She doesn't have the type of judgment needed to read the moods of foreign leaders, none of that. Now, the Democrats already tried having a figurehead president with Biden, and it ended so badly that they fired him a few months ago. And yet now they're doing the same thing, only she's even less serious at a time when we face countless serious challenges. And for us, that would spell serious trouble. And that's the angle.
