contributor, Mark Thiessen, who joins us now. So obviously, a lot of people are feeling economic pain right now, but you've seen a drop in crime, you've seen a drop in inflation numbers, you've seen a border that has been closed, but that doesn't necessarily mean that people going to the polls feel all of that. No, that's exactly right. But I mean, think about this, think back to the '22 midterms. When Joe Biden, we had just had the Afghan withdrawal, the worst foreign policy debacle in our lifetime, we had the worst inflation in four decades, worst crime wave since the 1990s, the worst border crisis in American history, and he put in one of the best midterm performances of any president since JFK. So you know, those things, what matters really is candidate quality. And so if you think about the Senate, right, the Democrats need to gain a net of four Senate seats in order to take back the Senate and they have to hold on to Michigan, which is a blue seat, it's an open seat, but it's their seat, what do they do? They nominate an Islamic radical socialist who hates football in Michigan, right? They have to beat Susan Collins. So what do they do? They find Graham Plattner guy with a Nazi tattoo, and then they replace him with a guy who came in third in the gubernatorial race and has children with his cousin. So, you know, candidate quality matters a lot. Now, the bad news for Republicans is, if you look at the toss-up states, what are they? Alaska, Ohio, Iowa, you know, North Carolina, leaning down. So seats that used to be solidly red are in play this time around. Texas is a toss-up. That's insane. So a lot, it could go any way, any direction. Yeah, you know, I totally agree with you, candidates. That absolutely matters. And I see that. I think Vance's message is very good in that, you know, although as Charlie said, people are feeling the economic pain and I was just in the Midwest, spent a lot of time this summer in Wisconsin, and people are upset about the inflation. They also said their comments on the war were interesting. Their comments were wrap it up. I kept hearing that everywhere I went. He needs to wrap it up. So my question to you is, do you think it could wrap up before midterms? And what would that do to the midterms? Because as we pointed out here, everything else is going great. I'm a big advocate of wrapping it up and wrapping it up with a final hurrah that would really set this regime back a decade. Look, what Donald Trump did in Iran is one of the most important foreign policy decisions any American president has made in my lifetime. That regime has been at war with us for 47 years. He's the first president who fought back. But the problem is we stopped at the 20 yard line in April, right? We still had about 14 days of bombing that we had to do to take out their capabilities. And so what that means is it left them with the capability to hit Gulf oil infrastructure. It left them with the capability to hit American troops in the region. And what I'm really worried about is not just that the war is not wrapped up, but that there could be an October surprise in Iran. Yes, I read a column in the Washington Post about that, that the Iranians know the midterms are coming up. And they may want to affect the midterms by carrying it by raising the price of oil by attacking Gulf oil infrastructure right before the right before the midterm vote, causing some sort of chaos, forcing the president to go back to combat by killing some Americans right before the midterms. When what we should do, I think, honestly, is go back and just finish this thing, declare victory and end it and which we which we can do. What does that look like? What that looks like is finishing the last 14 days of the bombing campaign that was planned, hitting their economic infrastructure hard, taking out, you know, we've destroyed 85% of their defense industrial base, destroying 99% of it. They've got the plans on the table. Admiral Cooper has them. Execute that. And then you'd stop, you say, man, combat is over at the 20 yard line. Because I think he thought that we could get a deal. And he was it was suggested to him that a deal was possible. And President Trump always wants a deal rather than combat and we're and in killing people. And so that and that's an admirable quality about him. But we've and then what happened is we got into this cul-de-sac of negotiations followed by Iranian violations, followed by America having to retaliate, followed by more negotiations. And we've been stuck in this since April. And we could have this could have been done in April. I mean, the comp major to people who said midnight hammer. I thought we did it in midnight hammer. Why did we go in when we know that you talked earlier during the break, you said the threshold for pain in Iran is very high. Yes. But we kind of knew that before. Right. So midnight hammer was enormously important. Yeah. But what the audience were doing is they didn't they responded to midnight hammer not by saying, okay, this president's going to stop us from getting a nuclear weapon. They went on a barrage of building missiles, which what their plan was was to have a large enough missile capability that they could overwhelm any defenses that the U.S. had of its troops in the region or Israel had of its country. And then they could they'd have a shield by way behind which they could rebuild their nuclear program. And President Trump saw that and he had to stop them. I think I think just add to what you're talking about, which is so smart and so insightful is that we are looking at the administration unleashing an economic strangulation on Iran that has never before been seen. And the president mentioned that because it would cut off all energy transactions and financial dealings with all of the Gulf states. And that would be an economic impact that we would see certainly before the midterms. If that's coupled with an October surprise, does that settle this? So I think what the president is doing economically, it's been dubbed Operation Economic Fury, is one of the most effective military. So the Iranians are selling zero oil right now. And by the way, Admiral Cooper, the Ascent Comp, we've escorted 1,000 ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Not many people know that number. It's like 20 a day right now. We're sending about $10 billion of barrels of oil a day, a million barrels of oil a day. A thousand ships have gone through the Strait. The Iranians do not control the Strait of Hormuz. We control the Strait of Hormuz. So if you finish the military campaign and take that off the table, we're done. Open the strait, keep the blockade on. The Iranian regime will eventually collapse. But you can't predict if that escalates things. So that's a little bit, but we'll see what happens. I mean, I think people said wrap it up. So thanks for being here. Thank you.

It's an honor and I'm delighted to be here at the Department of State to announce some of the largest ever investments in American mining. Critical minerals are the raw materials of American strength. They power everything from advanced weaponry to automobiles and we want these essential products to be mined, refined and made right here in the USA. At the core this is our industrial strength but also our national sovereignty. That we never depend on other countries for things we need to prosper and to defend ourselves as a people. We're going to mine here, we're going to process here, we're going to refine here, we're going to manufacture here. Mr. President, you have brought mining back to America single handed with you and your administration and I just wanted to thank you for your enduring support. You've proven that we control baby girl. This group is here to prove that we can mine baby mine and we're going to put American mining back on the map. Together we're reawakening the spirit of the gold rush, the prospectors and the great pioneers of this country. People who built the United States of America and very simply we're making mining great again and the United States is doing better than it's ever done, maybe ever done.

Where do I even begin with this? So, let's start here. Nobody has done more to rebuild and save the Republican Party than Donald Trump since Abraham Lincoln himself. President Trump inherited a broken shell, a hollowed-out husk of a political party after the Bush years, after the Ryan years, after the sellout years, and he turned it into the working-class party, the middle-class party. And he took states that had been blue forever. He took the blue wall. He took states like Wisconsin, states like Ohio, states like Pennsylvania. He pulverized that blue wall. How many Senate races have we seen? Were President Trump won a state by eight points, nine points, 10 points, 11 points? And it was just enough to bring along the Republican senator by half a point or a point to build that Senate Republican majority. How many Senate candidates has he dragged along to victory? And how many rhinos has he forced out of the party to elect real, working-class, populist Republicans, people like, for example, Eric Schmidt, who represent the future of the Republican Party, where it is today? President Trump has raised more money for Republican candidates than any human in history. He has more enthusiasm and support from Republican voters than any candidate in history. I could keep going, Laura. The reality is, as he said, President Trump is dead on right here. What this comes down to is the Trump voter needs to show up in the midterm.

>> Well, the data center subject to me is a pretty simple one. If you pick the right location, and it's got to be not every location is perfect for it, but you pick the right location, what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. And the data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity so they're not taking it for the grid. It's going to lower the electric costs because they're building electricity and the extra as an example, we talked about this one, I'm very proud of it, it was my idea. They're going to build their own electric producing facility and that electricity that they have left over is going to the grid. It's going to lower the cost of electricity. So if I were a community, I would want the data center. It means jobs, it means income and it means lower taxes.

New Hampshire, we don't talk about it a lot, but there were shenanigans that went on. Hillary Clinton won it only by 2,700 back in 2016. Biden somehow beat even her margin by tens of thousands, even as President Trump gained over 20,000 votes. What went on in New Hampshire, and what can New Hampshire do to make it secure going forward for 2022 and 2024? A lot went on in New Hampshire. Let me tell you, Natalie, I am running for federal office here because I want to ensure that the people of my great state have a voice at the state level and at the federal level. In 2020, in New Hampshire, there were more than 200,000 new voter registrations. By the way, we have a population of 1.3 million, so you tell me if that sounds right. We also had a 30 percent increase in absentee ballots. Of course, the Democrats like to say that was a pandemic precaution, but we know that they use that as a mechanism to get their way. We also saw in our state anomalies in our voting machines, we did an audit in one town, and the tapes from that machine could not be replicated by any hand count. I know there are great patriots in this state that are actually going and pulling the tallies for every single machine and all 136 towns that use them. I look forward to seeing the report that they've been working so hard to put together, and we're going to bring that to the national level to get to the bottom of what happened in 2020 so we can ensure that it doesn't in 2022 and 2024. It's so important. Thank you for the work that you're doing to expose what happened in New Hampshire because, again, President Trump should have won it. He did win it because you can't expand your voting base by that much and then somehow lose it. Biden more popular than Hillary. It's not believable. Thank you, Caroline, and keep us posted on your race. We're all watching it. Thank you, Natalie, and I will just say I'm the only candidate in this race to say that President Trump won in 2020, and I will work my hardest every single day to ensure we get to the bottom of it. It's carolineforcongress.com. That's Caroline with a K. Awesome. You're right, Trump won.

Peace in the Korean Peninsula, which hasn't been achieved since the armistice in the 1950s. President Trump has single-handedly toppled Maduro, freed the people of Venezuela and secured the greatest boon for America's energy and supply chains probably in the history of our country. He's taken the fight to the drug cartels, declared them a foreign terrorist organization, used military power to fight these enemies of human civilization. And as you have mentioned, he stopped Iran, the Islamic theocracy of Iran, from obtaining a nuclear weapon that could destroy an entire city. And now you come at home. He's unleashed American energy. He's building pipelines. He's bringing the price of gas down from the heinous highs of the Biden administration. He's taken inflation from the highest level in American history down to 2 percent, the largest tax cut in American history, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. And he took the most unsecured, dangerous, violent, hellish border in the history of our republic, and 15 straight months, Sean, of zero releases, zero into the country.

-The legacy media, Sean, is fundamentally corrupt. They are an extension of an arm of the Democrat Party. Honestly, Sean, the media, the legacy media, like CBS and ABC and NBC and every other legacy outlet, exists to serve and advance the interests of the Democrat Party. Throw in "New York Times," throw in "Washington Post," throw in "The Atlantic." They should all be required to register as a Democrat political action committee. I mean, let's just think through some of the things that you mentioned. President Trump has been in office in his second term for a year and a half and has solved problems that plagued this nation for decades, generations, or even longer. I mean, just go through the foreign policy piece here. He's completely rebalanced our trading relationship with Canada. He has protected American manufacturing and essential supply chains from China. He has completely rebalanced NATO and ensured that other nations pay their fair share. He is now pursuing peace in the Korean Peninsula, which hasn't been achieved since the armistice in the 1950s. President Trump has single-handedly toppled Maduro, freed the people of Venezuela, and secured the greatest boon for America's energy and supply chains probably in the history of our country. He's taken the fight to the drug cartels, declared them a foreign terrorist organization, used military power to fight these enemies of human civilization. And as you have mentioned, he stopped Iran, the Islamic theocracy of Iran, from obtaining a nuclear weapon that could destroy an entire city. And now he'd come at home.

Anyone who cheered that hush money prosecution to Donald Trump two years ago has nothing left to stand on because now the star witness, the guy who is the reason why every prosecutor who looked at this case, including the Biden DOJ, the prior liberal democratic DA passed on charging this case is because they didn't trust Michael Cohen beyond a reasonable doubt. Alvin Bragg rolled that dice and now Michael Cohen has said publicly that he quote felt important, felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. So where do you stand on Michael Cohen now? If you believe he's a truth teller, then he felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. That's not acceptable. If you believe he's a liar, then your case is built on a liar. So that case is going through its appeal process incredibly slowly. I think there are major legal infirmities with it, but now the factual predicate has collapsed as well.
