Show Notes

Did Kamala Harris truly come out on top, or was Donald Trump unfairly cornered? This episode of the Rant Network podcast dives headfirst into the recent debate between these two political heavyweights. David believes Kamala Harris displayed a composed and effective demeanor, contrary to his initial hopes for her to falter. Meanwhile, Stuart stands firm that Donald Trump was wrongfully fact-checked and demonstrated a stronger stance, critiquing Harris's lack of concrete plans and overreliance on prepared statements.

Our discussion highlights media biases, particularly from ABC, and scrutinizes the missed opportunities where Trump could have effectively countered Harris's points. As we reflect on the importance of strong leadership and its implications on national security, we delve deep into the heated dynamics of the debate. With the election approaching, we urge our listeners to consider these crucial moments and the lessons they offer, promising an unfiltered and candid conversation on the high stakes and strategies at play.

00:00:02.665 --> 00:00:05.812
So, ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you this question have you decided?

00:00:05.812 --> 00:00:07.565
Did she make a difference?

00:00:07.565 --> 00:00:09.064
Did he make a difference?

00:00:09.064 --> 00:00:16.033
If you watched the debate last night and you were a hardcore Democrat, today, your hands are in the air.

00:00:16.033 --> 00:00:19.388
Kamala did a great job.

00:00:19.388 --> 00:00:24.411
And if you're a Republican, today Trump did a great job.

00:00:24.411 --> 00:00:31.292
But the two of us are going to look at it from a slightly different perspective today, because they both didn't do a great job.

00:00:31.332 --> 00:00:32.232
Let's be realistic.

00:00:32.232 --> 00:00:38.372
All right, folks, this is the Red Network podcast, hosted by myself, david Solomon, the Canadian, giving the Canadian perspective.

00:00:38.372 --> 00:00:41.088
Stuart going to get maybe more of an American.

00:00:41.088 --> 00:00:46.871
Let's see what kind of other perspective he's going to go, because this is an unedited, unfiltered, uncensored conversation.

00:00:46.871 --> 00:00:47.091
Folks.

00:00:47.091 --> 00:00:49.823
We both did not prepare for this.

00:00:49.823 --> 00:01:03.884
Neither of us have heard the other side, although Stuart knows where I kind of stand and where he stands, and we'll get into this, because this is exactly what this podcast is all about Opinions, thoughts, experiences, ideas, perspectives, stuff.

00:01:03.884 --> 00:01:07.025
Unfortunately, we're not talking anymore at dinner parties anymore.

00:01:07.025 --> 00:01:13.631
We're not talking just with our friends, because we're afraid to be pigeonholed by certain individuals.

00:01:13.631 --> 00:01:23.677
This is all about the latest news and over the next 50-something days, this is one of the most serious topics that are going to affect the world in 2025.

00:01:23.677 --> 00:01:34.870
And at the end of this, folks, this is September 11th and we will leave a moment to remember the fallen on this day, so this will be a solemn type of podcast.

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:41.489
Sit back, folks, as we dive into last night's debate, because this is tough.

00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:49.081
It's tough for me, stuart, because I wanted Kamala Harris to start up with some word salads.

00:01:49.081 --> 00:01:54.352
I was waiting for her to be challenged on her lack of policies.

00:01:54.352 --> 00:02:03.861
I was waiting for Donald Trump, who took over 90 minutes to ask the question where have you been for the last three and a half years?

00:02:03.861 --> 00:02:25.774
And for me, stuart, I think that the way it was played out last night and given Kamala Harris an opportunity to express herself, and the fact that Donald Trump appeared more emotional than she did, I think if I had to pick a winner, I'm sad to say Kamala won round one, because apparently there might be a round two.

00:02:25.774 --> 00:02:34.194
But round one, stuart, I think and I'll express why I think later but why do you think DT did a better job than her?

00:02:35.042 --> 00:03:03.290
Well, I got a lot of ground to cover but, like you said, I'm going to take a moment to recognize September 11th 2001, when a series of coordinated terrorist attacks were carried out by 19 members of an extreme group called Al-Qaeda, where they hijacked four commercial airliners that were flown into towers known as the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

00:03:03.290 --> 00:03:05.974
The last one crashed into a field.

00:03:05.974 --> 00:03:17.032
Taking this moment, I would like to remind everyone that today, as you watch this broadcast, this was a moment in history.

00:03:17.032 --> 00:03:24.048
Now on to Donald J Trump.

00:03:24.048 --> 00:03:25.640
Let me tell you something, david.

00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:33.048
I can't say how wrong you are, and I think you're almost as hypnotized as a lot of people were.

00:03:33.048 --> 00:03:41.375
The initial question was to Kamala Harris are you better off today than you were three and a half years ago?

00:03:41.375 --> 00:03:46.139
And she started going into a tirade about her history.

00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:59.862
I'm a middle class person that, by the way, lived in Montreal, quebec, in an upper upper upper class neighborhood, but of course that has been forgotten, not fact checked.

00:03:59.862 --> 00:04:07.247
In fact, donald Trump was fact-checked five times 33, according to CNN.

00:04:08.187 --> 00:04:08.407
Right.

00:04:08.407 --> 00:04:12.070
Well, three times live in his face.

00:04:12.070 --> 00:04:21.336
He was fact-checked, but Kamala Harris in her face was fact-checked nuts and she uttered so many falsehoods.

00:04:21.336 --> 00:04:22.817
It's ridiculous.

00:04:22.817 --> 00:04:32.444
Just because she says it, it's valid.

00:04:32.444 --> 00:04:33.545
She gave us no, none, zero plan.

00:04:33.545 --> 00:04:34.728
She gave us word, salad, david.

00:04:34.728 --> 00:04:43.528
She gave us canned responses and prepared to plan an attack on Donald J Trump instead of taking a moment.

00:04:43.528 --> 00:04:57.747
That she clearly has failed to do since she has been nominated as the vice the president sorry, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party Any hardball questions?

00:04:57.747 --> 00:04:59.725
So I'm sorry, david.

00:04:59.725 --> 00:05:06.428
She didn't win Donald Trump in this contest is down to one state.

00:05:06.428 --> 00:05:09.014
That's it, pennsylvania.

00:05:11.721 --> 00:05:21.603
Donald Trump had to say the following to attract people in Arizona and Pennsylvania, the rest of the country is almost utterly moot.

00:05:21.603 --> 00:05:28.274
Most people made their decision who they're voting for, even before they were voting for Kamala Harris.

00:05:28.274 --> 00:05:38.971
That's okay, and those that aren't are the ones that are going to decide the election, and I don't think yesterday's debate did anything of the sort.

00:05:38.971 --> 00:05:46.132
Yes, they saw a man go all annoyed because he is fighting a three-on-one war.

00:05:46.132 --> 00:05:51.351
Two, he got to say immigration is a disaster.

00:05:51.351 --> 00:05:54.028
You're not better off three and a half years ago.

00:05:54.028 --> 00:06:09.706
And if you believe that, kamala Harris, a 12-year veteran of supporting the Green New Deal and an abolishment of fossil fuel and got to say it over and over, and over and over and over again, then you're wrong.

00:06:09.706 --> 00:06:11.279
He was the winner.

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:22.591
He needs to attract less than 0.01% of the population in just those two states and he wins the presidential election.

00:06:22.591 --> 00:06:24.141
Why do I say that wins the presidential election?

00:06:24.141 --> 00:06:24.581
Why do I say that?

00:06:24.581 --> 00:06:30.086
Because when you look at all the maps, there's only two ways he loses.

00:06:30.086 --> 00:06:38.632
He doesn't win Arizona, which it looks very strong to flip all red, and he doesn't win Pennsylvania.

00:06:38.632 --> 00:06:42.817
Otherwise, he has a clear victory to win this election.

00:06:42.817 --> 00:06:50.120
And you want to know something else, david.

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:56.002
You're saying that you feel that she won.

00:06:56.023 --> 00:07:05.947
She got under his skin, yeah, but what you didn't hear is she started to on an open mic when she was trying to slide into him, which we saw her lips, we saw her facial expressions.

00:07:05.947 --> 00:07:08.641
She didn't look authentic in any way.

00:07:08.641 --> 00:07:21.627
She looked rehearsed, she looked premeditated on delivering canned responses and when she didn't have the answer, as the same question was, are you better off?

00:07:21.627 --> 00:07:30.326
Three and a half years ago, she had programmed responses to overtly not tell you what her plan was.

00:07:30.326 --> 00:07:40.185
And, by the way, she'd said that I'm not in favor of fracking, or as vice president, I never did that.

00:07:40.185 --> 00:07:43.009
Which doesn't mean as president, she won't.

00:07:43.009 --> 00:07:44.851
Which doesn't mean as president, she won't.

00:07:44.911 --> 00:07:46.454
She is doing word salad extraordinaire.

00:07:46.454 --> 00:07:52.783
She's a politician, a career politician.

00:07:52.783 --> 00:07:57.108
She is a prosecutor, a debater in front of a judge.

00:07:57.108 --> 00:08:01.295
She has never championed police.

00:08:01.295 --> 00:08:22.615
She was defunding the police.

00:08:22.675 --> 00:08:28.706
Abc let her get away with an the country and not a party, and they failed to do so.

00:08:28.706 --> 00:08:30.547
They didn't rise to the occasion.

00:08:30.547 --> 00:08:32.725
They fell so far short.

00:08:32.725 --> 00:08:34.431
It's ridiculous.

00:08:34.431 --> 00:08:43.260
There was no journalistic behavior by these two journalists None, zero, zero.

00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:56.051
Walter Cronkite is turning in his grave because of these two journalistic political hacks.

00:08:56.051 --> 00:09:05.509
Listen, I think Donald Trump was not very presidential the way he speaks and that's not his vernacular.

00:09:05.509 --> 00:09:07.275
He doesn't talk like that.

00:09:07.275 --> 00:09:10.220
He never did so.

00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:11.900
Why do I expect him to change?

00:09:11.900 --> 00:09:13.802
I really didn't.

00:09:13.802 --> 00:09:33.860
But his career politician prosecutor that should be so polished should have been able to plead her case over why she is the best candidate.

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:34.503
She couldn't.

00:09:34.503 --> 00:09:35.626
She cannot disassociate with Joe Biden.

00:09:35.626 --> 00:09:37.373
She cannot disassociate the last three and a half years.

00:09:37.373 --> 00:09:41.399
She cannot disassociate from the crazy Afghan departure.

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:50.171
She cannot get away from supporting Hamas and terrorists and college campus crisis, including her own family.

00:09:50.171 --> 00:09:54.304
She was let go by ABC.

00:09:54.304 --> 00:09:56.863
She was given a free pass.

00:09:59.616 --> 00:10:04.201
So, Stuart, I listened to you very carefully and once again, you still didn't convince me.

00:10:04.201 --> 00:10:15.043
It's OK, this is what debates are all about, and I'll tell you why I think that you are a little bit wearing the rose colored glasses and why I'm not a liberal.

00:10:15.043 --> 00:10:15.926
God help you.

00:10:15.926 --> 00:10:26.096
You insulted me and I say that jokingly that you said I was smitten and I'm changing the word by her and I was duped by her.

00:10:26.096 --> 00:10:28.701
That's the furthest from the truth.

00:10:28.701 --> 00:10:30.864
I am not duped by Kamala Harris.

00:10:30.864 --> 00:10:31.785
I know where she stands.

00:10:31.785 --> 00:10:32.647
There was.

00:10:32.647 --> 00:10:35.029
Now let me tell you something.

00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:37.476
Why did she win?

00:10:37.476 --> 00:10:38.878
We knew what ABC was going to do.

00:10:38.878 --> 00:10:43.563
There was no doubt ABC had to do this for Kamala Harris.

00:10:44.184 --> 00:10:44.985
Donald Trump knew it.

00:10:44.985 --> 00:10:49.630
Donald Trump did not take advantage of the opportunities available to him, and I'll explain.

00:10:49.630 --> 00:10:51.120
I'll give you a couple of examples.

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:57.014
All right, you want to be thought of an idiot or you want to prove that you're an idiot?

00:10:57.014 --> 00:11:02.927
And last night he helped ABC, CNN and MSNBC Stuart prove that he could be an idiot.

00:11:02.927 --> 00:11:10.977
And one of those examples was when he was talking about people coming into Columbus, Ohio, where they were eating dogs and cats, these immigrants, these migrants.

00:11:10.977 --> 00:11:12.221
He didn't have to go there.

00:11:12.221 --> 00:11:18.461
He didn't have to go there and they knew that it's a story.

00:11:18.461 --> 00:11:22.067
And he took the story and ran with the story.

00:11:22.067 --> 00:11:25.399
That really sounded too out there.

00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.647
He had a lot of great opportunities and missed missed.

00:11:29.866 --> 00:11:31.389
He whiffed on her.

00:11:31.389 --> 00:11:33.639
He didn't challenge her.

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.149
Well, why did I say he took her the bait?

00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:42.940
And it wasn't just me saying this, these were conservative analysts who said the same thing, Stewart.

00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:47.926
She lied, he didn't jump on it.

00:11:47.926 --> 00:11:52.010
All he kept doing was saying I am great, I am the best.

00:11:52.735 --> 00:11:55.761
But he didn't put her in her place.

00:11:55.761 --> 00:11:57.846
He didn't challenge her policies.

00:11:57.846 --> 00:11:59.697
He says you don't believe in fracking?

00:11:59.697 --> 00:12:00.879
Okay, he got that.

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:07.678
But he didn't close the deal on immigration, the economy, inflation.

00:12:07.678 --> 00:12:10.746
Did he challenge her on the whole thing about the tips?

00:12:10.746 --> 00:12:15.466
Did he challenge her about the fact that she was willing to, like that housing prices were going to go through?

00:12:15.466 --> 00:12:16.740
He had facts.

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:18.038
He had facts.

00:12:18.038 --> 00:12:19.701
They didn't use them.

00:12:19.701 --> 00:12:22.168
She got away.

00:12:22.168 --> 00:12:35.605
Listen, we know that ABC was going to cheat, lie and kick and, as I said last night to my wife and to others who I spoke to last night, it's like going into a sporting event knowing that the referees are biased.

00:12:35.605 --> 00:12:37.019
So what are you going to do about it?

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:39.457
You've got to figure out a way to win.

00:12:39.457 --> 00:12:45.658
Ah, Ah, no, no, no, Stuart, Stuart, Let me get my.

00:12:45.658 --> 00:12:46.461
Okay.

00:12:46.461 --> 00:12:47.183
What do you want to say?

00:12:47.183 --> 00:12:49.201
Buddy, Go ahead please, Because.

00:12:51.336 --> 00:13:00.268
Listen, his only job last night was to message two issues.

00:13:00.268 --> 00:13:19.003
He failed, I agree, but his mission on getting these two messages across and repeating it no matter if he watched 15 minutes, five minutes or five seconds was in every single response that he gave he brought up two issues and you're missing it, david.

00:13:19.115 --> 00:13:20.340
I'm not missing anything, stuart.

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:24.889
You didn't know, no, but you live in Pennsylvania.

00:13:26.436 --> 00:13:27.456
If you live in Pennsylvania.

00:13:27.456 --> 00:13:32.019
There's two issues, Stuart with's two issues, you know it.

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:42.488
With all due respect, you don't have to insult my intelligence, you just got to listen, and if you want to be exactly what, the listen.

00:13:42.488 --> 00:13:44.929
We're not talking to hardcore Democrats.

00:13:44.929 --> 00:13:46.510
We're not talking to hardcore Republicans.

00:13:46.530 --> 00:13:53.259
They made their mind up before the debate there are people in the middle who have no idea who they're voting for and still don't know who they're voting for.

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:58.042
Donald Trump did not convince a lot of people.

00:13:58.042 --> 00:14:09.648
Neither did she, because, when it came up to policies, one of the things he said right is you got up this morning, you copied and pasted Joe Biden's stuff on your website and look what you're doing and you're saying all these economists and all that.

00:14:09.648 --> 00:14:17.506
He said one thing I liked last night, when the guys didn't do the job, I fired them and then they went and wrote books and what did she do?

00:14:17.506 --> 00:14:19.422
She didn't get rid of anybody.

00:14:19.422 --> 00:14:21.022
They kept the same lousy people.

00:14:21.022 --> 00:14:23.321
But he could have gone one more step.

00:14:23.321 --> 00:14:23.982
I agree.

00:14:23.982 --> 00:14:32.990
I agree, and in each time when he had the chance to clinch the deal, he went a little further.

00:14:33.254 --> 00:14:36.620
Stuart, I'm going to tell you something, something that people didn't talk about.

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.464
I didn't see a lot.

00:14:37.464 --> 00:14:45.840
He looked old last night and if you looked at it and he's an older guy, he is a tall fellow and he was hunched over.

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.900
She was rimrod straight.

00:14:47.900 --> 00:14:50.302
They made her look good.

00:14:50.302 --> 00:14:54.600
They were going to do everything to make her and proper to look good.

00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:03.985
Even the podium she was on was propped up so that she could look taller than what she really was, because he's much taller than her and bigger.

00:15:03.985 --> 00:15:07.020
She went up to him at the beginning.

00:15:07.020 --> 00:15:07.903
People didn't notice that.

00:15:07.903 --> 00:15:09.788
She went up to him at the beginning.

00:15:09.788 --> 00:15:11.120
And you know what, stuart?

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:11.802
I'm going to tell you something.

00:15:11.802 --> 00:15:13.140
Stuart, let me tell you something.

00:15:13.140 --> 00:15:19.144
I know you think I'm being duped, but I'm going to tell you what I'm telling you today.

00:15:20.135 --> 00:15:27.803
The unfortunate situation is that people do not take the time to dig deeper, beyond the headlines.

00:15:27.803 --> 00:15:29.682
That's what you and I have been doing here at the Rant Network.

00:15:29.682 --> 00:15:34.322
People don't go beyond the headlines and what they saw yesterday was the perfect headline.

00:15:34.322 --> 00:15:39.823
It was the perfect headline for her no substance, no backup, nothing.

00:15:39.823 --> 00:15:42.743
You're right, abc did not challenge her once.

00:15:42.743 --> 00:15:45.581
They were wrong, even on their fact checks.

00:15:45.581 --> 00:15:48.587
They were wrong, even on their fact checks.

00:15:48.587 --> 00:15:49.573
They were wrong.

00:15:49.573 --> 00:15:50.760
They let him.

00:15:50.760 --> 00:15:55.284
They broke their own rules to let him continue talking and let him spin certain things.

00:15:55.284 --> 00:15:59.423
They gave him an extra five total minutes and they knew exactly what they were doing.

00:15:59.423 --> 00:16:05.481
That's why I said today she comes out the winner Doesn't mean she won the election.

00:16:05.481 --> 00:16:08.240
Stuart Doesn't mean Stuart.

00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:13.337
Stuart in your Hold on, in your community, in your circle of friends that you have.

00:16:13.337 --> 00:16:22.282
You might say today that Trump won and fine, but hang on.

00:16:22.355 --> 00:16:23.760
But you're not listening to me.

00:16:24.095 --> 00:16:29.760
I listen to you very clearly, my friend, you're the one who can.

00:16:29.881 --> 00:16:55.206
My message is clear he did not perform well, I agree, but what he did do, which is what he had to do, is mention every single response with either immigration or oil and gas, and every single response.

00:16:55.206 --> 00:16:57.254
Play back the hour and a half, david.

00:17:00.222 --> 00:17:05.246
If the average person watched, I'll give you another example of boffing.

00:17:05.246 --> 00:17:08.002
He brought up student loans in the middle of nowhere.

00:17:08.002 --> 00:17:09.580
He brought up stuff in the middle of nowhere.

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:10.710
He brought up stuff in the middle of nowhere.

00:17:10.710 --> 00:17:14.112
It looked again, perception being reality.

00:17:14.112 --> 00:17:20.424
And again I will say this to you because you keep forgetting something I am not on Team Kamala Harris.

00:17:20.424 --> 00:17:27.278
I don't want to see her elected, and I will say it on this channel that people who vote for Kamala Harris are voting for socialism.

00:17:27.278 --> 00:17:31.121
She has lied, she has flip-flopped, she's trying to win an election.

00:17:31.121 --> 00:17:33.136
People in her own party have called her out on it.

00:17:33.136 --> 00:17:34.017
We said this.

00:17:34.017 --> 00:17:35.959
So I am not on Team Kamala.

00:17:37.422 --> 00:17:42.833
But Donald Trump, who claims he is the art of the deal, didn't close the deal last night.

00:17:42.833 --> 00:17:43.453
In my opinion.

00:17:43.453 --> 00:17:56.724
Now, again, this is an opinion and if we're allowed to express our opinions, then I can tell you this he to close her out.

00:17:56.724 --> 00:18:00.170
He needed to stay on, point on.

00:18:00.170 --> 00:18:02.974
You know he talked about immigration, but he didn't.

00:18:02.974 --> 00:18:04.425
He didn't get to her.

00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:12.590
What he did towards the end, where I thought, finally he's getting it, was the entirety about.

00:18:12.590 --> 00:18:14.693
Okay, why don't you go sign an executive deal right now?

00:18:14.693 --> 00:18:17.527
But she did, but it took too long to get there.

00:18:17.527 --> 00:18:25.942
I didn't appreciate, by the way, stuart, and I'm going to tell you something this is where I thought and this is where I knew ABC was complicit in making the Kamala Harris campaign look good.

00:18:25.942 --> 00:18:28.788
They wanted to talk about January 6th.

00:18:28.788 --> 00:18:31.761
They wanted to talk about January 6th.

00:18:31.761 --> 00:18:35.430
Here they're asking did the president already concede the election?

00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:37.101
They wanted to get into that.

00:18:37.101 --> 00:18:38.766
They wanted to get into January 6th.

00:18:38.766 --> 00:18:40.892
They knew exactly what they were doing.

00:18:40.892 --> 00:18:45.892
They weren't willing to go and fact check the realities of January the 6th.

00:18:45.892 --> 00:18:49.005
You knew where this was going to go.

00:18:49.005 --> 00:18:51.852
You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.

00:18:51.852 --> 00:18:54.141
He didn't close the deal.

00:18:55.143 --> 00:18:58.426
He did not appear as prepared.

00:18:58.426 --> 00:19:07.266
Yes, she used mantras, she used quotes, the propaganda I mean the Project 2025, she tried to stick on him.

00:19:07.266 --> 00:19:10.752
She tried to stick on his love for Kim Jong-un.

00:19:10.752 --> 00:19:12.202
We've heard all these things.

00:19:12.202 --> 00:19:20.914
We knew it was coming and if Tulsi Gabbard really prepared him, like she said, and others really prepared him, it didn't come across that way.

00:19:20.914 --> 00:19:22.160
That's my opinion.

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:35.701
That's where I think he buffed and if there is another one in october, I hope he does better, because yesterday he was the closest to the joe biden we saw a few months ago than he was the donald trump.

00:19:35.701 --> 00:19:37.084
That's my opinion.

00:19:37.084 --> 00:19:38.567
Last words are frank.

00:19:38.567 --> 00:19:40.150
We're way over today.

00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:50.806
Well, it's kind of hard not to be way over today with what happened yesterday and what happened historically 23 years ago today.

00:19:50.806 --> 00:19:55.644
May everyone have a good day, good week.

00:19:55.644 --> 00:19:57.163
We'll see you all on Friday.

00:19:57.163 --> 00:19:58.579
David, wrap it up.

00:19:59.942 --> 00:20:04.488
Ladies and gentlemen, john, this is the anniversary of September 11th 2001,.

00:20:04.488 --> 00:20:09.295
And you're sitting back and remembering where you were when, and I can vividly remember.

00:20:09.295 --> 00:20:32.163
I'm reminded, and this is there's an entire generation that is voting today, stuart, that wasn't alive during that era, and that they should go back in history and review when American policy, foreign policy is weak, when Americans do not stand up for democracy and when Americans do not stand up for freedom.

00:20:32.163 --> 00:20:36.336
That was what was threatened 23 years ago to the day.

00:20:36.336 --> 00:20:48.553
And here we are going to the ballot box, or you're going to the ballot box in about seven weeks, eight weeks, and people have forgotten that, without a strong White House, look what's going on.

00:20:49.721 --> 00:20:57.654
This is not a political speech, but we have wars on too many fronts because America isn't doing what she used to.

00:20:57.654 --> 00:21:02.690
We don't want a repeat of September 11th doing what she used to.

00:21:02.690 --> 00:21:05.637
We don't want a repeat of September 11th.

00:21:05.637 --> 00:21:10.182
So please, on this day, take the time to reflect, even though we debated last night.

00:21:10.182 --> 00:21:11.968
Take the time to reflect your choice of the ballot box in about eight weeks.

00:21:11.968 --> 00:21:12.469
It will matter.

00:21:12.469 --> 00:21:15.978
And with that, I wish you all a good day.
