Welcome, it is Vertica Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, and my oh my is the adrenaline running for many Americans right now because we are less than two weeks away from election day.
And in a not surprising plot twist, Senator, Joe Biden's coming out going, we just need to lock up Donald Trump.Like, forget an election, just lock him up.
Well, Joe Biden's mental decline continues and he's being very candid about his desires, his attempt to indict Trump, to prosecute him and put him in prison.
He's tried multiple times, it's failed and he's continued now just to be very open that the objective is two weeks before election day, let's put him in jail, let's prevent the voters from voting for him.
You know, we're also going to talk about, at the same time, Biden is in such trouble, the Democrats are trying to roll out Barack Obama to save Kamala Harris.And Barack Obama, well, I've got to say, he's utterly clueless.
He's bemoaning how divided and bitter the country has gotten with no sense of his own legacy, no sense of the responsibility he bears in turning the political environment toxic.
Part of the reason we're talking about joe biden and part of the reason we're talking about barack obama is because kamala harris The wheels keep coming off of her campaign.
She Has decided she wants to campaign in texas not quite sure why she's doing that Other than she wants to talk about abortion all the time because that's the one topic Uh democrats are willing to talk about is is that they're for abortion in every every circumstance with no limitations but she also
then took a day off for her campaign to get ready.To get ready for what?Not the Fox interview.That one went horribly.Nope.MSNBC.And now even MSNBC has turned on her.We're going to break that down as well.
Yeah, when you see MSNBC turning on, you know something's changed in this race.I got to tell thank you to a lot of you guys.It's amazing how many of you listen to this show and then you listen to what we tell you about sponsors and you take action.

Senator, this was one of those moments, and I want to play it so that people can hear it.You may have already seen it on social media, but Joe Biden came out and he didn't mince words.
He made it very clear what he thinks about Donald Trump and where he belongs.
He is talking about doing away with the entire Department of Education.He's talking, he means it.This is not a joke.This is a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant someone who he believes would be the threat to.
I mean, so I know this sounds bizarre.It sounds like if I said this five years ago, you'd lock me up.We gotta lock him up.
Politically lock him up. Now I love when he says, we got to lock him up.And then he says, after I'm assuming people in the back of the room are jumping up and down, going, don't say that man.This is not going to help us.
He's like politically lock them up.That was crazy rambling, even by Joe Biden standards.
Well, yes, and look, if you listen to what he was saying, I mean, much of that was incoherent rambling.I mean, at one point he says, oh, well, Trump says he can just murder anyone he wants.No, actually, Trump does not say that.
Nobody said that, other than deranged Democrats who are trying to deceive people.The idea that Trump is going to whack his opponents is bizarre.But it's interesting, if you listen to Biden's
concerns, the first thing he said is he's going to abolish the Department of Education, which, by the way, an overwhelming percentage of Americans agree with abolishing the Federal Department of Education.
They'd like to see education handled at the state and local level and keep the feds out of controlling curriculum and out of all the red tape and all the strings that come attached.
um and and then uh you know he he says well and and and he's gonna fire the bureaucrats and that's really what he gets terrified now we've talked at great length about how the weaponized bureaucracy uh that started with barack obama when he used the the federal government to target his political opponents that those hard partisans burrowed into the bureaucracy and you better believe one of the most important things in a trump presidency
is going to be to root out the hardcore partisans who are abusing their power within the bureaucracy.But to Joe Biden, that's terrifying.
And then, you know, the old line that a gaffe is when a politician actually tells the truth, where he says, you know, we got to lock him up.You're right.He tries to do some immediate cleanup and say politically lock him up.
But listen, as far as I'm concerned, he was telling the truth when he spoke the first time as to what he wants to do, which is why the Biden-Harris DOJ has indicted Trump not once but twice.They are trying to lock him up right now.
It's also just, I think, very, it's a great reminder, less than two weeks from Election Day, early voting's happening now, for Americans that are listening to this show to remember, this is what we are up against, this is exactly why you need to go vote, you need to early vote, because if the Democrats have their way, they will lock up Donald Trump, and not just him.
I think they'll come after any other conservative that stands in their way.
Whoever is the next guy in line, they will do whatever they can to harass them and to use lawfare to come after them and their family and their friends and try to destroy their lives.The days of Democrats and Republicans
Getting along seemed to be over not because Republicans walked away, but because Democrats said we're not Democrats anymore We're socialists or communists or Marxists.
We we don't want to work with you We believe that you are evil and we want to destroy your lives and put you in jail
Look, as Lord Acton famously said, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts, absolutely.Once they have internalized that they can use government to destroy their enemies, that they're not interested in backing away.
And if they can do this to Donald Trump, they can do it to you, they can do it to me, they can do it to anybody they want to.This is about the abuse of power.This is about the arrogance.
of Biden and Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi that they believe that that look it's not materially different from from Maduro and Venezuela.
They want to be in power forever and anyone who opposes them they will use the government to destroy them.Now I got to say the Biden administration spin trying to get out of Biden quite candidly saying what their objective is was really amazing.
So Alex Thompson who's a reporter with Axios he tweeted out the following A counterpoint from a current by biden administration official quote For better or worse No one is listening to him anymore.
That would be biden And his words have little power and less reach It's a blip Gone in any meaningful way by midday tomorrow if it makes it that long now, that's a current official of theoretically the biden administration, but understand this ruthless team they they will
figuratively shoot you and leave you in the alley if you're no longer politically useful.And so this is the administration.By the way, last I checked, Ben, who is currently the commander in chief?
It's a guy by the name of Joe Biden, at least on paper.But if you listen to Democrats around him, they're like, dude, this guy had been president for well over a year at least.
I mean, it is amazing.Their talking point from the administration, no one is listening to him anymore. And his words have little power and less reach.
And yet under the Constitution, he still has the authority to order our active duty military into harm's way.He still has the authority to launch missiles at anyone he damn near wants to.
And that is a really frightening dynamic, which nobody in the media seems to care about.Nobody in the Democrat Party seems to care about.They're just like, let's get to Election Day.
And then we'll move out our senile puppet and we'll replace from their perspective, hopefully with our Marxist true believer, that will implement the very same policies.
How desperate, because it does feel like there's a different level of desperation now from the left.I don't know if you're feeling it the way that I am, but I do think that there... Well, they know they're losing. They know they're losing.
Yeah, this is telling.I think that they're feeling that this election is starting to slip away with their plan B after their coup on Joe Biden.I actually think there's part of Joe Biden that probably thinks, good, you guys deserve this.
You literally overthrew me.I'm willing to sit here and kind of watch this place burn down because you guys thought you were smarter than me and I would have won.That will be what he says the rest of his life.
I have every reason to think Joe Biden is pissed off, and you're exactly right.He's sitting there thinking, if I'd been the nominee, I'd be winning, and you pushed me out, and now you're going to lose with Kamala, and you deserve to.
Now, he hasn't quite said that publicly, although, you know, tomorrow is another day.He might say it publicly.He certainly seems to be thinking about it, and it's interesting.
Number one, you know, Joe Biden's out there saying things that his own administration is saying pay no attention to, but simultaneously, Barack Obama's out there.
And I want you to listen to what Barack Obama just said, because it's really an astonishing thing to come from the lips of Barack Obama.
I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter.And I get why sometimes people just don't want to pay attention to it.And we all have friends like that.
We have family members who are just like, you know, it's all it's all a circus out there.I get that.
mean really like come on man like have you heard what you've been saying lately have you heard what you've said about donald trump have you heard what you said about conservatives like for him to say it's oh it's so toxic have you seen what the media that you control has been saying and doing in the last i mean even in the last two days the narrative from the media center has been that that donald trump
is unhinged and so extreme and is losing his mind, cognitive decline.They're literally using the Joe Biden talking points against Donald Trump now.And they're saying this guy can't be trusted.He's going to take us into World War Three.
Well, and by the way, Joe Biden just said that Trump wants to just murder people randomly, which, mind you, Trump was president for years.He didn't murder people randomly.
In fact, it was the one presidency in modern times where he didn't start a war.Everyone else did. But yet, the Dems can't acknowledge that.
You know, the people that have died under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from the wars that have been started, from the weakness that they've demonstrated, from their strengthening of our enemies, they can't acknowledge that.
So they say, oh, Trump is the one that want to kill people.But you know, for Obama to say that, it's like he just erases his entire legacy.
Let's go back and remember what Obama said back in 2008 when he was talking about Midwestern voters and what he thought about them.Give a listen to what Obama said then.
People have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government.It's not surprising then that they get thinner and they cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren't white men.
Those were the famous lines from Barack Obama right they cling to their guns and their religion and you know These are radicals in other words
Yeah, look, that's how he described half the country.Anyone who didn't agree with his left-wing vision, he said, you're bitter, and you're just clinging to your guns, and you're clinging to your religion.
You know, there's a contempt of the modern left for people of faith. And it really is striking.You know, you saw at the Kamala Harris rally where people called out, Jesus is Lord.And she countered, oh, you're at the wrong rally.
By the way, I'll tell you, I was doing a rally actually today.And someone at the rally called out, Jesus is Lord.And I immediately turned and smiled and said, you're at the right rally.
I love it.It's sad, but it's true.They're like, if you believe in God, don't come here.You're in the wrong place.And they'll say it out loud.And when it was said, by the way, at that rally, the audience cheered it on and loved it.
Well, the left has done such a demonization.Number one, a Donald Trump.I don't think there has been anyone demonized in modern times the way Donald Trump is now.Listen, Trump's rhetoric feeds into it.
He takes particular joy in sticking his thumb in the eyes of his opponents and so that exacerbates it but it also it drives them bat crap crazy.They lose their minds.
Like Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing and you see people, you see Democrats, you see many of my colleagues in the Senate, you see virtually all of the corporate media, you see sadly a handful of Republicans whose brains have just melted.
They just hate Trump so much that they can't acknowledge anything good he's done, like they really do.I think they've convinced themselves he's Hitler.
And then like Barack Obama with utter cluelessness, they say, I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter.And by the way, did I mention to you that Trump is the devil?Like there's such a cognitive dissonance
One of the big problems has come out over the last couple days is the minority vote is really not running towards Kamala Harris.It seems like they're running away from Kamala Harris.
You had over 90 percent of African-Americans men that were in favor of Barack Obama when he ran.Then it went to 87 percent with Joe Biden. That number is now down in the 70s for Kamala Harris.
And the same thing is happening with Hispanic voters in this country.Many Hispanic voters that can vote, right, American citizens, they're angry.
at the wide open southern border and the crime that has come into their neighborhoods and the cost of rent and the cost of housing that's gone up and the cost of living in general and that they're having to compete for jobs with illegal immigrants that have flooded this country and and this is one of those little x factors that i've i've marked for election night and i want your take on this i i think what could be the most shocking thing we see
When we break down the numbers is that there were a significant number of African Americans that voted for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris because it's the economy stupid, not someone's skin color.
Look, the classic question for any presidential race is, are you better off now than you were four years ago?And for virtually everyone, the answer is no.
I'll tell you tonight, I had a woman in McAllen, McAllen, Texas, down in the Rio Grande Valley, a nurse come up to me and she had tears in her eyes and she hugged me. And she said, every month, I don't know how I'm going to pay the bills.
I just, I can't pay the basic costs.I just don't know.I don't have the money to survive anymore.And it was the very real pain that she is feeling day after day after day.That's real.
And, you know, you mentioned the polling that shows 70 percent of African-American men are still voting for her.
In some ways, that's remarkable because virtually all of those voters, like virtually every other American, is much worse off today than they were four years ago.And that really underscores the Democrat Party strategy Don't talk about their record.
Don't talk about the last four years.Don't talk about what they've done on the economy.Don't talk about inflation because all of that is a disaster.
Certainly don't talk about the southern border and how they opened it up and the chaos that has happened.Don't talk about the crime that has skyrocketed under their their leadership.Don't talk about the wars that have proliferated across this
globe, don't talk about how our enemies are stronger, don't talk about the rabid anti-semitism on college campuses that have proliferated under their leadership, don't talk about the fact that they're unwilling to enforce federal law against the university presidents who refuse to protect Jewish students, don't talk about any of that.
Instead, well Kamala Harris is this week, she's coming to Texas because you know I guess she doesn't think she has a chance at winning Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin or any of the swing states or she's going to come to Texas.
I'll tell you right now Donald Trump's going to win Texas but she's coming to Texas anyway.Why?
To do an entire event on abortion because the Democrat party has decided the only issue they want to talk about between now and election day is abortion and they are the party of all abortion all the time, no limitations, no restrictions.
Everyone should should shout your abortion from a from a rooftop And I gotta say, it is a very different party.You know, you think back to when Bill Clinton said that he wanted abortion safe, legal, and rare.
There's nothing about Kamala Harris that is saying that she wants it rare.That is the entirety of the Democrat Party is they're about abortion because they can't talk about anything else.
Yeah, they really can't, and this is their obsession now.I want to talk to you real quick about coffee, and if you love a great cup of coffee every morning, then you've got to try Blackout Coffee, because Blackout Coffee is 100% America, 0% woke.

You mentioned something uh, and we know the topic of kamala harris coming to texas And there's a lot of people that will look at that going Why don't you have an abortion event if this is what your agenda is, right?
It's an abortion event in texas Why would you not have it?
Like you said in a swing state like pennsylvania someplace where she desperately needs a win because I agree with you donald trump is going to win texas But then if you look at what the left has been saying over the last 24 hours, it actually makes it pretty clear
They're trying to turn Texas into this evil, awful, anti-women, anti-feminist state where their restrictions on abortion, as they describe them, are barbaric, that women are going to be dying in the alleyways, and that they're evil people in Texas.
I mean, that's one hell of a get-out-the-vote way, I guess, for her to share it, I guess, with the rest of the country.I still think it's a mistake.
Well, look, I guess for Democrats, in some ways, it's the mirror image of you see a lot of Republicans talking about how bad things have gotten in California and the failures and policies there and the crime that's there and the economic suffering that's there.
There is, of course, a difference, which is that people are actively fleeing California.They're leaving because of the consequences of those policies.And you and I both live in Texas.
Every single day more than a thousand people move to Texas and they're coming consistently from bright blue states, from California, from Illinois, from New York, from New Jersey, from Connecticut, from states where high taxes, high regulations, woke policy, shutdowns, all of these idiotic policies are hurting people.
They're fed up with the out-of-control crime and so Kamala trying to portray Texas as some hellhole, well it's It is counterbalanced by the fact that people are voting with their feet, and they want to be in Texas because Texas is where the jobs are.
They want to be in Texas because your family is safer there, because crime is more under control in Texas, because we support law enforcement in Texas, because you don't have the
Fully woke policies and and you know, it is interesting I think Kamala the wheels are coming off the bus on Kamala's campaign and they're panicking.They don't know what to do Can you just say that again?
First time we've said this like this is not something that we've said before And I I'm not kidding when I I when I say this this is big breaking news You and I have not talked about this at all until about the last three or four days.I
This this election seems to be changing
Yeah, look, they are panicking.I think the Kamala campaign feels this election slipping away from them, and they are scared that they are losing.And I think, you know, I had said previously that I put the odds of the election at 50-50.
I would now shift it to 55-45.I think Trump has the advantage.Now, it's not 80-20.It's not a slam dunk.The numbers are still very close.They're within a couple of points in the swing states, but I think the momentum has clearly shifted to Trump.
And I think the Kamala team is in panic about it.So they just took a full day off.And it was interesting what they took the day off for.The purpose of the day off was to get ready for an MSNBC interview.
And maybe there's a reason because I got to say that MSNBC interview did not go well.Take a listen to this exchange to Kamala's interview on MSNBC.
But I don't know that I heard a clear answer from you on the issue of gender-affirming care.It sounds like what you're saying is there should be something between trans Americans and their doctors.
It feels like that's a long way from we see you and we love you, which was your message to trans Americans in May.What do you want the LGBTQ plus community to know as they're looking for a full-throated backing from you for trans Americans?
I believe that all people should be treated with dignity and respect.Period. and should not be vilified for who they are and should not be bullied for who they are and that is a true statement for me my entire career and that has not changed
I love how long she pauses there because that is a slam dunk in theory conversation that she would normally have no problems with over at MSNBC NBC and yet she flip-flopped on it and so now they're upset that I called on a second this is not what you said last time as we've been giving you all this free press telling everybody you're amazing even though no one's ever voted for you for president and and mind you the question there
was what Kamala had previously said.Do you think American taxpayers should pay for sex change surgeries for illegal immigrants who are in prison?
which as I pointed out before, when Trump referenced that in the debate, it sounded so outlandish, it sounded like a Saturday Night Live skit.
Like if SNL was willing to make fun of Democrats, although interestingly enough, they're starting to make fun of Kamala, but it sounds like if you were to conjure up, let's come up with the most insane thing a Democrat could come up with, I know, taxpayers pay for sex change surgeries, for illegal immigrants, no, no, no, that's not enough, in prison, yes, yes, that's it, that's it.
You know, she is, of course, on video saying, yes, we should pay for those.And Trump is understandably running ads, playing her saying that and making the point, look, this is a radical and out of touch agenda.
This is not where the American people are.And the Kamala campaign realizes, oh, crap, wait, people are realizing that my positions are radical and out of touch.And so she's trying to run away from it.
What is fascinating is that MSNBC is turning on her on this.You know, up until this point, Kamala's been able to run away.She's been able to pretend, for example, she's for border security.And the left hadn't turned on her on that.
Because they knew she was lying.They know she's an open borders radical.She has been her whole life.She still is an open borders radical.
And so they understood, okay, for 30 days before the election, you can pretend you're not an open borders radical.And we know that if you win, the very next day, the open borders are back full force.
It's interesting that their approach on transgender extremism, for some reason this is an issue where the left cannot stomach any dissension at all.
And you know there's another exchange where MSNBC pushes her on Joe Biden's cognitive state and again her answer is terrible.Give a listen.
Can you say that you were honest with the American people about what you saw in those moments with President Biden as you were with him again and again, repeatedly in that time?
Of course.Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced, and capable in every way that anyone would want if they're president.You never saw anything like what happened at the debate night behind closed doors with him?
It was a bad debate.People have bad debates.He is absolutely... But that's the reason why you're here, and he's not, running for the top of the ticket.
Well, you'd have to ask him if that's the only reason why.What do you think?I am running for president of the United States.Joe Biden is not.
And my presidency will be about bringing a new generation of leadership to America that is focused on the work that we need to do to invest in the ambitions and aspirations of the American people.
I mean that's just a bad answer.Like it's an answer that you're sitting there and if you work on her staff you can't think that this is going well.
Well and she continued to get pressed on the fact that Biden is obviously diminished and she dug in even more.Give a listen to how she continued.
It's a judgment question, that's why I ask.Can the American people trust you in these moments, even when it's maybe uncomfortable for Americans to have, to level with Americans in that way?
So that's why I ask, and it sounds like what you're saying is you feel like you never saw anything like that from President Biden.
I have worked with Joe Biden, whether, hours and hours and hours over these four years, whether it be in the Situation Room or the Oval Office.Joe Biden is the one who was able to bring NATO together.
during a crisis where for the first time in 70 years Europe saw and has seen war.
Joe Biden has done the work that has been about being a leader on what we have done to fix so much of what has been broken in terms of the economy because of Donald Trump's mismanagement.
I speak with not only sincerity, but with a real first-hand account of watching him do this work.I have no reluctance in saying that.No, of course I don't.
She, by the way, was not happy at the end of that question because I think she knew this was a screw-up for her.
Well, look, in a lot of ways, it's an impossible question for her. Because let's assume for a second that Kamala Harris hires Ben Ferguson to coach her on this question.
And let's assume that Ben Ferguson, his brain is captured by body snatchers and he decides he's willing to work for Kamala Harris. I ask you in all seriousness, what would you tell her?Because there's nothing she can say.
There is no answer to give to this question.Because the truth of the matter, okay, here's the honest answer.Yes, of course I knew he was senile.Of course I knew he was incompetent.Every person in the room knew he was incompetent.
The guy couldn't tie his shoes.He was utterly and completely in the full throes of dementia that was obvious to every person there.Now, that would have the advantage of being true.
but it would also be an admission that she spent four years lying to the American people on a daily basis.So she can't say that.So she has to instead say, nope, nothing seemed wrong to me.Everything seemed fine.
He was the smartest, most handsome, most amazing leader I've ever seen.Huh. Who knew?Who knew that there were issues there?Mind you, you and I were talking about this years ago.
Anyone observing knew this years ago, but she is trapped by her own misconduct because the truth, I guess she figures, is more damning than the lie.I mean, seriously, what would you advise her, Ben, if she hired you?
Yeah I would have told her look I think you can say hey I saw the man this if I was writing a response I would have said do it this way I look I worked with a man every day
I when you see somebody every day sometimes you may not realize how much there is a decline but when I watched him during the debate many of us privately after that knew that we need to have a conversation that conversation took place and and he did the right thing for the country and that's why I'm sitting here in front of you today but you also have to understand then she could give him smack
that he did this well and this well and well and this well and I think even now Joe Biden understands it's time for him to retire that's why I'm sitting in front of you that would have been a better answer than just straight up lying to the American people saying I saw nothing at all because that's when they don't believe you.
Yeah look hers is the the Sergeant Schultz answer from Hogan's hearing I see nothing I know nothing that that was her answer.
Yeah, it is and and this is goes back to the trustworthy aspect of Kamala and if you look at her She was confronted for example on by dynamics, which she's touted as being amazing, right?She's obsessed with it.It was awesome.
We've got a great economy by dynamics is everything it's doing well, and then she's asked about it and Now, because the majority of American voters and minority voters especially are going, no, it's not great.We're suffering.We're hurting.
And I wonder, are the last four years an obstacle to you in this race?
Here's how I look at it.First of all, let me be very clear.Mine will not be a continuation of the Biden administration.I bring my own experiences, my own ideas to it.
And it has informed a number of my areas of focus, most of which are on, to your point, lowering costs.
So part of my plan includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries, including the work I will do dealing with price gouging, something I dealt with when I was Attorney General, something I will deal with going forward.
Then why do you think that's not landing with voters?
Because in the numbers it's the opposite.Former President Trump leads you on this issue.
Well, when I'm out, this is why I'm going out to Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, excuse me.Just got in late this morning, actually.But going to three states yesterday, and I'm going to continue being on the road.I have to earn the vote.
That's breaking news.My administration will not be a continuation of his.In other words, yes, what we did sucked.It was bad for the American people and so therefore I don't want to be connected.
But then I want to immediately tell you that I'm proud of what we've done together while I was in office.It's like, if you say that to the American people that are hurting, I don't see how that ends well for you.
Well, and remember, that's the exact opposite of what she told The View.The View asked her, how will your administration be different from the Biden administration?She said, oh, I can't think of a thing I'd do differently.I can't think of anything.
And yet now she's saying, mine will not be a continuation of the Biden administration.How is it different?Well, I'm me.I'm not him.I'll just do exactly the same thing he was doing.But we're different people.That's how it's different.
Yeah, it is.I want to talk to you about safety real quick with your family.I keep my family safe two different ways.One, by having a firearm so I can protect and defend myself.
But I also have something else, and that is I have someone that's looking out for my rights and my protection with the law if something ever happens and I actually have to use that firearm.
That is why I want you to know about the 24-7 critical response team that is included benefit of self-defense liability insurance to make sure you and your family are prepared for anything.This comes from the USCCA.
everyone thinks they're keeping their families safe but are you really is the question you've got to ask with these elections coming up anything might happen and if you dare defend yourself many activist DAs and the twisted legal system will probably put you behind bars while the criminal walks free we see it happen unfortunately almost every single day in this country
And that is exactly why you need to protect yourself and your right to carry a firearm.You don't want to risk losing everything and that is where they come in.That's why over 800,000 Americans are members of the USCCA.
because not only will you get access to their protector academy to learn vital skills like precision shooting and how to fortify your home against criminals but you're also going to get access to that 24-7 critical response team and the included benefit of self-defense liability insurance to make sure you and your family are prepared for anything
Now i've had to use a gun to protect and defend myself I had to pull that trigger and I can tell you the peace of mind of knowing I had someone looking out for me in that moment Would have been worth I can't even explain how much going through that process and that's why I am a member right now and for a limited time text the word america to 87222 to get the us cca's free life-saving concealed carry and family defense guide

Senator, one other question I want to ask you about this interview with Harris is they say that she took a day off.
When you ran for president, did you ever take a day off in the last two weeks when you're running in a primary to get ready for an interview?The whole entire campaign right now seems to be in at least a strategy in shambles.
Like you're coming to Texas where you're not competitive because you want to highlight abortion issues.I get it, but why not do that in Pennsylvania?Why not do it in a swing state?
Why not do it in a place that you think you're going to win but it's gotten tight in the polls?
Yeah, I'll confess, I'm a lot less critical of her on that front than some folks are.Even in the most intense campaigning times, I try to take a down day a week.
I try to take Sundays down and be home with the kids, home with Heidi, home with the girls. And look, do I do that a hundred percent of the time?No.So for example, like right before election day, I might not do that a day or two before election day.
But even through a long campaign, a campaign is a grind.A campaign you're going 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 hours a day.It's exhausting.
And so I actually think it matters to take a down day, to be with your family, to unplug, to sleep in, to go to church at home, to sleep in your own bed.And I find you come back a better candidate.So on that piece, I'm not particularly critical.
I think almost every candidate you're better off.If you just grind yourself to where you can't see anymore, it ends up doing more harm than good.
Well, and the last thing I want to ask you is the news that has come out and it's quietly broken.The mainstream media is not talking about it.But Harris's town hall moderator admitted the questions were, quote, predetermined.
The moderator, Maria Shriver, admitted that the questions, again, were predetermined.This is her in her own words.
You're not, unfortunately.We have some predetermined questions and hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head.I hope so.
That was her talking to the audience.That video has been leaked.Someone said, are we going to be able to ask her questions?And she says, no, you can't.They've been predetermined, meaning the campaign's got them.Kamala knew it.
This whole thing was a ruse from the very beginning.It wasn't an authentic or real town hall.
Well, look, I can tell you I've done hundreds of town halls.I don't think I've ever known the questions before in any of them.
It is not 100% clear from what Maria Shriver said whether they were predetermined by the network or by the Kamala Harris campaign, and I will say those are different.
It is possible that she's saying, no, no, no, we the network picked which one of the audience questions we want to ask because we wanted to divvy up the topics and not have 19 questions on abortion.We wanted to talk about something else.
That's possible. And that might be more understandable, but I'll tell you if that's the case, they certainly haven't clarified it.
It absolutely raised the inference that the Kamala Harris campaign had information about what the predetermined questions were.
And if that's true, then it makes a laughingstock about what is supposed to be journalism, because that's certainly not like any town hall I've ever done.
