Yeah, okay, so there's a reason why this 14% became 80% and that is because when it comes to Senate primaries, Donald Trump's record is magnificent. You can see it right here, okay. Trump and Dorsey is one Senate primaries of non-elected incumbents, so we're not just looking at elected incumbents, right? We're looking at open seats or appointed incumbents who have never actually won the Senate seat. Look at this. Since 2022, it's about 95% of the time. This year, in fewer races, it's 100% of the time. No wonder why the prediction markets and the conventional wisdom have moved so rapidly once Trump made that endorsement, because at least in Senate races, Trump's record this year, 100%, and since 2022, nearly 100%, there has never been somebody I have seen as powerful in terms of their ability to move the electorate in primaries than the current president of the United States, Donald John Trump. What's one reason for that? One reason why is because Trump is still very popular with Republicans. Just take a look here. A 21st century own party approval rating about at this point in the second term. We got Trump. We got Obama. We got Bush. Look, they're all fairly popular, but the one who is the most popular, and we have seen this time and time out, no matter when you look, is Donald John Trump. He's the only one who's over 80%. 83% of Republicans still approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing as president. He still has that magic touch. We'll see if it carries over to South Carolina, but we've seen it in primaries this year, Senate primaries, and that's because he is still a very popular man, historically popular when it comes to his own party, liking and approving of the job that he's doing.

of having free and fair elections, and it makes them impossible. So look, I think that there's only one legitimate reason to oppose this. I have yet to hear a legitimate argument against the bill, which begs the question, do they really just want to make it easy to vote so badly that they're willing or even enthusiastic to just make it easier to cheat? So far, the congressional Democrats have, by and large, focused on arguments that are a combination of being ill-founded, relying on blatant mischaracterizations of the statutory text itself, including and especially the text beginning on page 12, line 22, and following on to the following page, easing the documentary requirements for a group of citizenship, making it so easy. It's much easier than filling out your I-9 form where you start a new job with a new employer, or you're required to prove your citizenship if, in fact, you're an American. If you're not an American citizen, you're going to have to produce a visa showing that you are eligible to work. But we make it easier than that. We make it so easy, in fact, that even if all of your citizenship documentation papers have disappeared because your house burned out, your dog ate them, your crazy aunt Madge came and stole them and took them to the dump for some inexplicably reason, or maybe you never had them, you can still go to a state election official, swear out of it.

And they traveled from Atlanta to Guadalajara to LA to Dallas and here to New Jersey. One final act of this incredible summer of soccer for Rodriguez to lift the trophy and for the celebrations to begin both here and overseas.

Thank you very much. It's a great pleasure to be with the president of Lebanon. He's highly respected in his country and actually flown beyond his country. And the relationship is very good. I think that Lebanon has been a very mistreated country for a long period of time. It's an amazing group of people. So it's an honor to have the president and your representatives here. Now, really, I would like to thank President Trump, really, and his team for the historic visit. And I know your vision is peace, your vision is stability, and I think my vision will start as your vision. And together, I think we will be able to achieve and to score success in that regard. I agree with that.
