Donald Trump (5:35)

We do need some help from the federal government. They have to get together, ideally with the governor. That governor needs to. He's been trying to get them, and I'm sure they're going to come through, but he's been calling. The president, hasn't been able to get him.

Unknown Political Commentator (5:52)

Okay, now contrast that on the Same day to what Governor Kemp said that Biden had given everything, everything he wanted. And notice, this is from September 30, 2024. This is if you remember the letter that I showed you. Governor Kemp was requesting an extension of what Biden provided for debris removal help from the federal government. And Donald Trump said, here's my middle finger. Go F yourself. To all of the people of Georgia, play this clip.

Brian Kemp (6:22)

So I just spoke. The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back. And he just said, hey, what do you need? And I told him, you know, we got what we need. We'll work through the federal process. He offered that if there's other things we need, just to call him directly, which I appreciate that.

Unknown Political Commentator (6:42)

Now, you would think also if you're Governor Kemp, Donald Trump calling you all of these names, attacking you, attacking your family, attacking your wife, I don't know, maybe that would be a reason to say, maybe I'm not going to support that guy. But, no, with these Republicans, they're. They like. They, like, love the abuse. It's very strange that none of them can stand up to this and they put our country in this situation. Here is Donald Trump back in August of 2024, attacking Governor Kemp.

Donald Trump (7:12)

Don't know. Now, in Pennsylvania, I have great relationships. In Georgia, I do, too, but unfortunately not with the governor. I've never understood it. When you get somebody elected, they're supposed to like you. He's not exactly, for some reason. And you'll have to ask him about that. Yeah, I'd love to see it get repaired. I think that if we don't win Georgia. Georgia is a big. Is a big win, is a big state. So I won Alabama by a record. Nobody's ever gotten that many votes. I won South Carolina by a record. You don't win Alabama and South Carolina by records and lose Georgia, it doesn't happen. And the people of Georgia understand that there was tremendous anxiety and problems in Georgia. A lot of people say what happened? And we have to. All we want is honest elections. If we have honest elections in Georgia and we have honest elections in Pennsylvania, and we're gonna win them by a lot.

Unknown Political Commentator (8:04)

And then.

Ben (8:04)

Can you just.

Unknown Political Commentator (8:05)

Now, I'm gonna show you more on Governor Kemp in just a moment. I wanna let you know, though, a question that I get about a question I get asked a lot, which is, Ben, how do you do the research for these videos? Like, how do you clip it and how do you find it? Well, one of the resources I use, they sponsor the Midas Touch network and they're called Ground News. And one of the things that they do, it's like for me having X ray vision for news bias. So they post a story and then they show how our right wing media, how's right wing media covering it? How is left wing media covering it? Who's covering what? And so I can kind of get a sense of how the different sides are focused on an issue. Are there blind spots? They actually have a section called Blind Spots. And this is one of the sections that I use to see. Wait a minute, it seems that right wing Media is 100% covering this issue. What's going on? Do we have a blind spot to the type of propaganda that is spreading out there? And I'll give you an example of a blind spot that I want to protect against. So one of the things that we've seen is that like every time James Carville gives a speech that it's being used by the right wing media to kind of attack opposition to Donald Trump. So 100% of coverage of this story, James Carville acknowledges Trump's fast pace is posing challenges for Democrats. No one on the left is covering it, no one in the center is covering it. 100% of the people on the right are covering it. And that helps in 4B. Why do they keep using Carville statements over and over again? And look, there were things in the past that I liked that Carville said, but he keeps on kind of relentlessly attacking Democrats over and over again. And so I have to understand, is this useful? Is it harmful? How does it impact my coverage? And so, you know, we're subscribed to Ground News. You can check it out too.

So you take a look at what Governor Kemp is talking about as well. So here's Governor Kemp interviewing with Caitlin Collins as well. This is April 23, 2024, where he talks about how Donald Trump should not be given absolute immunity for his crime. So Kemp is recognizing that Trump is engaged in criminality. Here. Play this clip.

Caitlin Collins (11:13)

Trump is making an argument right now that is in the hands of the Supreme Court, where it goes that, that he has brought immunity from being president and that he can't be prosecuted for anything he did while he was in office. I wonder what you make of that claim.

Brian Kemp (11:26)

Well, listen, I don't think anybody's above the law, you know, a Democrat, a Republican, Independent, myself, or anybody else. So that's my personal opinion.

Caitlin Collins (11:38)

Do you think that those cases should go to trial before the election so voters can make a decision based off that?

Brian Kemp (11:44)

Well, listen, I think most voters probably feel the same way I do. I mean, we're a country that was built on laws and the Constitution, and it's, it's, you know, up to us really, as elected leaders to be the ones that exemplify that in a lot of ways. So we'll see where the process plays out. I think probably they will be ruled on for the election, you know, but.

Unknown Political Commentator (12:07)

The wild thing is he could recognize Trump engaged in criminality. Trump can call him all of these names. Trump can deprive Georgia of all of the, of all of aid that they desperately needed in 2020 during a tropical storm because Governor Kemp refused to break the law. And Governor Kemp still supports Trump. And then Trump responds by cutting off the FEMA aid to the people of Georgia. And here, I'll show you this as well. Just this is Trump, uh, October 4, 2024. The lies just keep coming without fail at Governor Kemp's press conference in Evans, Georgia. So Kemp holds this press conference. Then Trump says the jobs report for September was bad. It was very good. He says the economy was bad. It isn't. He said the federal government isn't helping while it is with hurricane relief. Continues to lie over and over again. Had tip to Chris Burkowski for just writing that. Here's Trump saying it. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (13:11)

I'm not thinking about voters right now. I'm thinking about lives. And to be honest, it's much bigger than anything else. But we're thinking about lives. A lot of lives lost, a lot of people missing. And that's what I'd be focused on right now.

Caitlin Collins (13:28)

You talk about the economy a lot out on the campaign trail. The very important issue to do it to your voters as well.

Unknown Political Commentator (13:34)

Jobs are up.

Caitlin Collins (13:35)

The stock market at that, all time high. Do you acknowledge that the economy is improving?

Donald Trump (13:39)

No, it's not. It's inflation is devastated our economy. It's one of the big problems we have. And on jobs we have the illegals have taken more jobs than anybody else. You have illegals coming in and they're taking the jobs. And when you look at the numbers from that standpoint, it's a shame. We have to get the jobs of the people that have lived here for a long time and they're great, great citizens of our country. But when you look at the job numbers, they just came out and then you look at who's getting the jobs and it's been very unfortunate from that standpoint. You have illegal, you have the migrants. You're reading about it now. A lot of the money that was supposed to go to Georgia and supposed to go to North Carolina and all of the others is going and has gone already. It's been gone for people that came into the country illegally and nobody's ever seen anything like that. That's a shame.

Caitlin Collins (14:43)

Do you agree?

Donald Trump (14:44)

I don't know anything about what he said. I only can hope that it's going to be free and fair. And I think in this state it will be. And I hope in every state it will be. And I think we're going to do very well. But right now we're focused on this. We're not focused on the election.

Caitlin Collins (15:03)

Do you think you could possibly win Georgia or do you think that.

Donald Trump (15:09)

Well, I won it easily in 2016. We actually were very close last time and right now the recent poll came up, we're up seven. So I think we're pretty far up and we seem to be going up and she seems to be going down. So I hope we're going to keep it that way. Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.

Unknown Political Commentator (15:28)

Well, now look at what's going on. Households are bracing for another bump in inflation. Americans right now predict inflation will go to 4.3%. Over here we see inflation surging in Donald Trump's first month in office. And Trump's asked, so you know, your tariffs are likely going to increase inflation, isn't it? Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (15:50)

They'll do it without tariffs and therefore prices won't go up. There could be some short term disturbance, but long term it's going to, it's going to make our country a fortune.

Caitlin Collins (16:00)

So Americans should prepare for some short term pain.

Donald Trump (16:02)

You said that. I didn't say that the prices go up. Let's see what happens. Nobody really knows what is going to happen other than.

Unknown Political Commentator (16:10)

And so then a reporter says well, maybe. Are you going to direct agencies to study if the tariffs are going to be harmful or cause inflation? It's like, no, I'm not going to do any of that. Here, play this clip. Reciprocal tariffs.

Caitlin Collins (16:20)

Would you also direct agencies to study the impact they would have on prices.

Donald Trump (16:23)

In the U.S. no, there's nothing to study. There's nothing to study. It's going to go well. The United States is going to become a very, very strong economically country. Yeah.

Unknown Political Commentator (16:34)

And folks, I can look, I could go state by state. I can look at how Donald Trump is harming Oklahoma as they're prioritizing, buying his bibles and other things and screwing over Oklahomans education. You can talk about the Texas VOW school voucher program which is just destroying the education system there. You can talk about in Alabama where there's a Republican governor, how the people in Alabama are getting screwed. I mean, University of Alabama is the number one employer. Their aid's getting cut off by the Trump administration and a lot of social service. The red states led by Republican governors are the most dependent states on federal aid, where the blue states are the ones that contribute most to the federal government. So the states that are contributing to the federal government, Trump attacks them verbally, you know, with his theatrics and his immaturity. But then he goes, but then his policies are screwing in many ways red states more than the blue states, although he's screwing all Americans, as you can can see. Let me know what you think.
