00:00So let's just jump right into it. Last night, we had the first presidential debate between former

00:04President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden. It's no secret that there's panic among Democrats

00:09after Biden's performance as a top House Republican. How are you reacting to last night's event?

00:17Well, I mean, clear, I think Donald Trump killed it last night and Joe Biden killed himself. I mean,

00:24there's a reason why they won't share the special counsel Robert Herr's taped interviews. I think

00:33we know why now. It's because of what we saw last night. And frankly, it's disturbing and it's

00:40unnerving that Joe Biden is in the White House. And that's why Donald Trump is going to win.

00:46Yeah. Well, speaking of that, after that performance, if they are to replace him,

00:51do you think that they should do that before the election? I mean, I'm sure there is some

00:56worries among House Republican leadership about him continuing to be the commander in chief,

01:00even if they're replacing him as a nominee, he would still be in office for the next seven

01:03months. So should he resign immediately? Well, I mean, it probably be good if he did

01:09resign immediately and let Kamala take over. She actually polls lower, incredibly than even

01:16President Biden. It really doesn't matter what they do on the other side. It is Joe Biden and

01:21Democrats failed policies over the last four years that have literally destroyed our economy,

01:27opened our borders and created fires all around the world. And people across the country already

01:33understand this Republican, Democrat and other. Donald Trump did what you need to do last night.

01:38He talked about the issues that matter most to the people. He talked about the great economy

01:43that he and his administration were responsible for. He talked about

01:48sealing the southern border and the fact that Joe Biden, through 64 executive orders,

01:53opened it. And we've now had 10 to 20 million people come across our southern border. By the

01:58way, Joe Biden last night, he either just doesn't have it, which I don't think he does,

02:05or he blatantly lied about terrorists coming across our southern border. We already know at

02:10least 350 were identified. One of those terrorists, an Al Shabaab terrorist, was actually

02:16found in my state. So look, it's a people can talk about the candidates all they want. It's about the

02:24issues. It's what is about going to give American families the ability to survive and thrive again,

02:30to be safe in their homes and in their communities and to be safe around the world and make sure that

02:36we stop this invasion from our southern border. The only guy offering that

02:40is Donald J. Trump. That's why he will be the 47th president.
