Transcripts For FOXNEWS The Story With Martha MacCallum 20240914

Martha thank you very much. Afternoon. Martha maccallum and this is the story. You are watching it with us. Moments ago former President Trump wrapped a fourth News Conference just since August Reminder that we have not seen 1 for Vice President harris freewheeling period of time where she was taking questions from the crowd. We havent seen that yet but look for to seeing that. The president at the very end President Trump did say he would leave the door open to another debate. He said ive been 2 already and has cautions about prior debate that just happened and says of them in the right mood that maybe he would consider it so see. Still got a couple months ago so there may be another opportunity. He defended his performance on tuesday. Watch. I thought the debate was great. I thought i did very well but i was fighting 3 people. I think he correct me 11 times. I dont think he had the right to correct me. Didnt crack her once like im project 2025 or had no Idea Nothing to do with me. He didnt correct her. He knew that. Charlottesville nothing was done wrong. Hes off to nevada and Vice President harris is heading to pennsylvania. These individuals are going to be spending a lot of time in these big Swing States over the next 7 or 8 weeks or so. Now 2 of the states in the up for grabs for the election, 2 and the latest Power Rankings slid a little bit in the race that remains very tight. We talked about that yesterday with you. Lets take a look at this from cnn. At least in the first polling that we are getting postdebate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris may be slight slight Movement And Harris direction but not overwhelmingly so which i dont think is really much of a surprise given the nation we are now. Martha Clay Travis and philip will join us. He played former President Trump during the Debate Prep for Vice President harris. Lets go to Progression Correspondent for the president just wrapped up his comments moments ago. Hi. I guess we have to wait for the president to get into the right mood before we find out if you actually do another debate before election day. Those offthecuff comments came right after the Press Conference wrapped up as he was walking away. I could up with him and grabbed him and tried to ask him 1 more time would he do another debate. He told me we had to debate. I did well in that debate and then i pushed further and asked him what would it take for him to do another debate and this is what he told me. He said i wouldnt need anything. I would do it tomorrow. Ive done 2 debates. The second was crooked. He said maybe if i got in the right mood. Right now im leading. So leaving the door Cracked Open to basically if he feels like he needs to do it later he will. Heres what he said to me earlier in the Press Conference when i and others kept asking him whether he would do the debate. He was defiant and he thought he did okay. Watch. Some of your own republican allies have come out and said you missed the mark. Most of my republican allies and set i was great in the debate. I dont know how i couldve been tougher what i said he is the worst president and she is the worst Vice President in the history of our Country Spee Nexen republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham on Capitol Hill has said he missed the opportunity to connect with those swing voters. He said into a big fundraiser in the Bay Area and he needs to this because hes all behind and campaign cash. Vice president Kamala Harris reported almost 50 Million in the 24 hours following the debate and she raised almost 3 times as much as him in august leading him by about 100 Million in cash on hand. So he wants to do these big high Dollar Donor fundraisers here in california before he gets back into the Battleground Blitz and heads to nevada tonight for a rally. Another big Swing State for him. Interesting i know you will be following the campaign throughout to see where he spends the bulk of his time. Any indication on whats on the near Term Schedule . As weve been watching him last couple of weeks and Vice President Kamala Harris the focus has been on battlegrounds. The 7 Battleground States thats where they are basically spending most of their time including the Vice President Running Mates as well. Its interesting he made a stop here specifically for the big fundraisers but also because conservatives want to send a message to democrats that they are trying to go after conservatives and perhaps a little bit more conservative democrats in these very big loose days. You wont be able to flip california but setting the signal a message recurring after the states. Thank you very much. In beautiful california this afternoon. Lets bring in our panel former white House Press Secretary and Fox News can shooter Clay Travis out Cake Founder and flee Prime Minister played former President Trump and Debate Prep and done that before with hillary clinton. Did it with the Vice President and we bring the Mall Into Taco where things stand at this point. Good to have you with us this afternoon. Let me start with you. This News Conference was never to get back out there after the debate and to speak his mind him what he thought about the Debate And Hammer home some other points. How do you think that 1 . The real purpose was not specifically the answers he gave but to show he could do it. It was a contrast. Not because he was going to make news on any topic but to show i can take questions and stand here and tell you what i think because im capable of it. His contrast this with Artificial Intelligence which is what Kamala Harris was at that debate. Shoes program to say everything she said and there is no spontaneous thinking. The very frequent question is america better off than from for years ago . Thats were artificially i kicked in. She just gave the answer that was programmed. She never answered the question so thats what i think trump was doing today showing hes capable of doing this which is what you want and President Somebody who can thing on their feet and be adept and show the contrast with harris. What did you think of the News Conferences afternoon . I thought he was great at the News Conference. I want to give this so people i want to give flee credit because i think he got the best version of Kamala Harris possible out on the stage. Problem is that version is not very good. And i think the problem also is they dont feel confident they can get that version of Kamala Harris very often and thats why shes not doing Press Conferences. Thats why shes not doing interviews. I thought theres a great article at cnn this morning which to me is maybe the most integral way to analyse things right now. Right after the debate come a List Team said they wanted another debate. Kamala is was in the streets. She will lose pennsylvania i think and georgia. Shes going to lose north carolina. Thats want to put trump in the white house. Of trump stays focused next 50 some odd days hes going to win for the selection. Shes behind it i dont think she will make up ground and i think soon and also to be a little bit of a Panic Set in the think we are headed there fast. Have a feeling were about year confident takes on all of this which i would expect in a Situation But Neglect of this reuters piece because i found it really fascinating after the debate because obviously the Pundits Way in and see what they think but its up to the voters and how they are feeling our all of this in terms of the authenticity of the Vice President was convincing to them or not convincing and the performance of the former president. So reuters interviewed 10 people who are still unsure before they watch the debate. This is why its important to interview and talk 20 side of voters because these are the people who will decide the election. Its important to note on their minds. And 6 said afterward they would either vote for Trump Or Leaning towards backing him. 3 said they would back harris and 1 was still unsure how to vote. s thoughts on this . We are going to start to get actual Pull Numbers that matter over the next several days on what the after debate pulls look like. First want to say its great to be back and despite the backhanded compliment thank you. When ari first started speaking and said this was a contrast Press Conference i honestly thought he was going to say it was a contrast between donald Trump Today and Donald Trump tuesday. Because lets not gloss over what we saw. And look i know my 2 fellow guests are way too smart to pretend otherwise. That was a terrible Debate Performance on the part of Donald Trump. He absolutely malfunctioned is on the way to think about it. In terms of the peace you just read thats absolute is a state of the race. And given how great Donald Trump thinks he did and given how much these numbers seem these independent voters seems to have favoured him i would think that he would want to jump out there and i know he just said that depends on his mood but i would think youd want to get there. Martha traditionally theres generally 3 president ial debates. This is an extraordinary switcheroo that we got swapping out biden for harris. Typically you get 3 debates. Will we ever hear answers from her . If we dont collect another debate environment. Better off now than 4 years ago or they skated right by her answer. She started to explain why she has switch her position so dramatically on medicare and mandatory Gun Buybacks and fracking and they didnt give her a chance to do it. The moderators want your good. Fracking is on par and we are moving on. When will we ever get a truly open exchange of how she got from their to hear . I think debate in front of 60 or 70 Million people negate siakam and shes not taking questions. I understand before then how that was an appealing Talking Point but no longer and there were 2 things going on Tuesday Night. There was Vice President answer questions coherently and there was the former president Who Irrespective of whether or not he is rattled. It is 1 thing at minute 11 or 20 to not get your composure together but minute 70 or 80 think we saw on Tuesday Night pack Vice President harris as a president ial candidate who can be president. We saw the former president asked why he was fired. Martha she was impressed and that makes it easy. Come on martha. She was impressed on single issue. That is why we see these dials and independent voters responding they are like i didnt really, i still dont know where she stands. Shes going to turn 60 next month. Let me answer. First of all martha you would do an incredible job as a Debate Moderator their guy would sign for you to be the Debate Moderator if they win again because smacked Donald Trump doesnt agree with you. He might change his mind. He changes his mind sometimes when it comes to media. He loves Megyn Kelly now and didnt love Megyn Kelly for a while either. So lets be clear. But look heres what i think is the essence of things. They didnt at all push back on her. Shes going to turn 60 in october. Thats not a young person. She now disagrees with every opinion she had when she was 55 or 56 and running for president. On some really significant things like whether or not we should build a wall at the border but also on some crazy things which anyone would with a functional brain knows flushes have plastic straws because metals stuck inside his paper straws. Shes a liar and a fraud. s. Im going to give you next or 30 seconds or for their but my head off in the control room. Go ahead. The reason youre not see her do any tough interviews is because she cant expand the difference between project 24 and project 2019. All her positions in 2019 shes walked away from so when you have a candidate whose walked away from what they believed yesterday and tells you they believe something different today you cannot trust them tomorrow. They will walk away from anything. Thats what Kamala Harris has done. Shes project 2019 and the voters dont want that. Martha the voters get to decide the have a couple months left to get it all in their head and get whatever information they cannot of this.

Spank Vice President harris apparently supported decriminalizing all drugs when she ran for president The Last Time around. This is part of an acl You Questionnaire that they recently released. She filled it out as a candidate in 2019. So the question was all your support its a whole list of questions where you stand on all these things. This was will you support decriminalization at the federal level of all Drug Possession for personal use . And she checked the box yes. Then said i have cosponsored the Marijuana Justice Act which would legalize marijuana throughout my career ive supported treating Drug Addiction as a public Health Issue focusing on rehab over incarceration for drug related defences. Lets bring in Jason Krantz Kg th seattle Radio Talkshow Host and author of whats killing america inside the rag radical left tragic destruction of their city and we heard a lot of there from former President Trump this afternoon about what has happened in california. Your reaction to her answer on this, and we havent unfortunately heard this asked. You still believe this and if not why not of the Vice President. Its a sad answer. The reality as weve experienced in Pacific Northwest Life Under Progressive Rule where we have effectively legalize drugs. What i can tell you in oregon since before their efforts Astrid Dahl the thought. I apologize because we are monitoring live Press Conference at the white house. Porter Hanson Question Bear with me spinning theres been a Policy Change but what i can continue to make sure that you all know and you see it for yourself as the president is committed to make sure that ukraine has what it needs to defend itself against Russias Aggression to defend and fight for their democracy to come not going to elaborate spank 1 of the bigger criticisms of the administration has been on everything thats ultimately given to ukraine the answer was first no on patriots and fighter jets. And this adjustment getting given to them they won this would be the Funding Fatigue that congress now has to grapple with the next time they need help in the aid that you guys promote has been slow in the form of the decision to use It Snake let me step back for a second. What this president has been able to do in the past 2 years and his entire administration is fix the reputation of this country that was tainted by the last president. We have to remember how we started. Where we started. And what this president has been able to do. People thought nato was going to be weaker. The president may need a stronger. To more countries are now members of nato because of this president s leadership. We have 50 plus countries who are now backing ukraine and continue to do so because of this president s Leadership Ukraine is fighting for their sovereignty, fighting for their freedom and against Mr Putin who decided he wanted to invade. The president has been very clear how important it is to stand with ukraine and in this time. Were talking about democracy. Were talking about freedom. And if anything this president s actions and what hes been able to do has shown just that. Because its not just about Ukraine And Nato and europe. Its also about our national security as well. Its all connected in the president is always going to do it is important for the american people. And i think that is what you see in and thats what the president will focus on and continue to do sitting here, you know, a couple of years ago splitting hairs over whether drones are offensive or defensive weapons. This has been a struggle of this administration that has been topic of criticism and now this week in the debate Vice President was promoting what this administration has done in terms of giving ukraine what needs but theres plenty of criticism outside of that to say its effectively blocking a victory by slow walking these decisions. If your trussler 50 nations, nadel leaders have your Trust President Zelenskyy itself their thoughts on the president leadership, dont have the words you just said to me. I think they would say the president has been a leader during this time and has had their backs. As it relates to what ukraine needs to continue to defend themselves we are in regular touch. My colleagues here at State Department of defense earned regular touch with ukrainians on their needs and what they need to continue to fight against those aggressions will leave it there. Spiritual circle back to the thing anita raise. Putting aside the timepiece. Martha we just wanted to dip in and hear Jackies Question. Its about next room the important topic will be speaking but with gen. Jack keane in a few moments all get his reaction to Jackies Question and some very big changes that may be taking place with the uk and us support of missiles that might be fired and deeper into russia but i want to go back to jason so stay with me while i weave back into another topic which was back to this issue of the questions Vice President harris was asked and answered when she was running for president of the united states, and this 1 President Trump brought up at the debate the other night and was widely marked on Social Media but he was talking about something thats actually literally was her answer to the question of whether or not she would support Taxpayer Transgender surgeries to take place on illegal immigrants who are in prison. Lets just watch this and i want to get your quick thought on the other side if i may. When i was Attorney General i learned that california primitive corrections were standing in the way of surgery. For prisoners. There is a specific case and when i learned about the case i worked Behind The Scenes To Natalie make sure that that transgender woman got services she was deserving. I made sure that they changed the policy and in the state of california. Martha jason. I love that some people on the left thought this was made up and fake because it sounds crazy to them and thats the point. It is in fact crazy and its precisely why conservatives have been calling out what folks in the farleft san 4. At the time she was in a politically tricky spot when she was running for president. She had to be seen she thought his father to the left them Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren so she took of this Laundry List of very progressive because positions that she not personally distancing herself from. I understand you comported a statement via a Campaign Spokesperson the is unnamed but at The End of the day she needs to explain her positions. Martha i would imagine she would like to do that and we are love to give her an opportunity to talk about the issues that are most pressing in the country as she runs for president and to clear up some of these things if she does feel differently about them now. Thank you very much. Always good to see you. Thanks a lot. President biden is under pressure to greenlight longrange missiles for ukraine to use and that would be fired deep into russia which would be a very big change in the dynamic of this war. Gen.

Martha israel reportedly destroying an underground Missile Factory in syria that it claims was built and by around. That comes from axios reporting. They say it was the first israeli Ground Operation in syria in recent years. Gen. Jack keanes with me in new york. We go to correspondent Nate Foy embedded with the israeli military idf in Gaza Today and joins us live from tel aviv. We spent the day in the evacuated and destroyed city of rafa in southern gaza. The idf says the only people who remain there are hamas terrorists. So the idf invaded this city back in may. Between Rafa And Egypt is a key stretch of land called the Philadelphia Corridor in the Idf Presence here is the main Sticking Point in negotiations for a possible ceasefire. The underground Tunnel Network and rafa is among the most extensive and elaborate in all of gaza according to the idf. Since invading rafa in may they have discovered 200 tunnels here at the Philadelphia Quarter behind me. 9 of those tunnels lead into egypt. This right here is 1 of them. So the idf says hamas use the tunnels for smuggling but also firing longrange rockets, knowing Israel Wouldnt Return fire because of how close it is to the egyptian border. Today we also saw the Tunnel Shaft where 65 Feet Underground Hamas terrorists murdered 6 israeli hostages 2 weeks ago including american israeli her school bird. Idf spokesman Daniel Gary told me what he found that tunnel. They were in hard conditions, very hard conditions but they survived. They were executed in this tunnel. This tunnel was like a cell with an iron door. In The End it was blocking the tunnel. And this is something very hard to see. Israel is investigating the Tunnel Network and rafa and the rest of gaza looking for additional hostages. Israel believes 101 hostages remain in gaza. Although 35 are believed to be dead. Martha Nate Foy thank you very much for that reporting. We bring a retired Fourstar Gen. Jack keane, former Army Vice Chief of Staff And Chairman of the Institute For The Study Of War and Fox News senior strategic analyst. Good to have you with us. When you listen to the what stage are we at with this effort to clear out hamas and bring hostages home . A third goal was to make certain that they cannot beer he attacked. So as an effective Military Organization we at the Institute Study of war as well as now some israeli leaders are saying hamas as a Military Organization using their hierarchical organization brigades and battalions and companies as an effective organization of that type its been destroyed. As Counterinsurgency Force or force to conduct Gorilla Type actions against israeli forces, somewhat fragmented and not in major units, this will be ambush attacks ied type attacks, using mortars limited Weapon Systems they can do that. So rough as we have seen here they had a brigade there and thats effectively destroyed casualties somewhere around 80 or 90 . Minimum amount of civilian casualty. This is the operation President Biden and his administration was telling the idf and prime Minister Netanyahu not to conducted and he said i have to conduct it. And you can see the reason why. Look at those size of those tunnels and they are moving all of the rockets missiles and components and ammunition through those tunnels from the Sinai Desert and they go from there through gaza and they want to shut all that down and a brigade that was there protecting the tunnels as well so that was a very successful Military Operation but the israelis got a lot of work in front of them and theyre still trying to get the hostages out. Martha lets hope they can accomplish that second part of the goal and bring some people home. Interpreting to watch. And the tunnel within Mickey Mouse drawings above some sort of Childrens School or hospital above him below they were keeping the sausages and among them the american her School Berg Pullen who was shot and killed all in cold blood. I want to ask you about this discussion thats going on today between President Biden and Keir Starmer the uk Prime Minister. About whether or not the allies will allow the use of longerrange missiles by ukraine into Moscow And Putin has been very clear that he will consider that in an Act Of War by nato if that were to happen. Yellow pages had to something you just said about the tunnels. Every time i see the tunnels it reminds me that the leadership of hamas will not permit a single gazan citizen to seek protection in those tunnels. And how outrageous is that given the fact that its 40,000 casualties and they want to serve them up. None of those tunnels 300 miles of tunnels and no gazan citizens can be protected. Where are we . It looks like the brits have made a decision to remove the restrictions on the use of the Cruise Missile System called storm shadow. They need to get Bidens Permission because some of the components are made in the united states and those have to do with our export controls. That will likely happen if it hasnt already happened. It looks like the 9 states is going to remove the restrictions on the use of attack him. The brits missiles go 155 miles. Going 190 miles. Isw the institute for study of war that im associated with we find identified 245 Military Targets within the range of attack comes. 16 are airbases. From which some attacks are against the people. Inside ukraine and you seen the casualties taking place. It will be somewhat significant variable to remove those restrictions and the impact is meant to have on Russias Ability to support or offensive operations and move forces forward and do it logistically as well as destroying artillery and also airpower. This is something that should have been done from the outset. Its appalling and unprecedented that we would keep that kind of restriction and hold on the ukrainians. When the russians threatened escalation, every single time when advanced weapon has been delivered and escalation is threatened by russia it has never happened. Checking thank you very much. Will sewer we go from him. Have a good weekend. Good to see you. So americans rack up record at at the cost is the Cost Of Living Pops Under Biden and harris. Steve forbes joins me next.

Us Credit Card Debt has hit another record high. 1. 14 trillion according to the federal reserve. A jump of almost 50 and Credit Card Debt since President Biden and Vice President harris took office so thats people figuring out ways to stretch their dollars and buying things on credit and then getting deeper and deeper in debt and that compares to a spike of just 5 when President Trump was in office at this point in his term. We are also paying more. You know this. But when you look at it laid out its very important to show because we care inflation is coming down but this is where the numbers are. And Food And Shelter are still 22 under President Biden and Vice President harris. Car insurance is up 55 . Heres former President Trump just moments ago. I had no inflation essentially no inflation. And it stayed that way for 2 years so it wasnt like it was ready to pop. We had it down to a science. Martha Steve Forbes is here but First Foxbusiness Correspondent Edward Lawrence reporting from the white house. Consumer sentiment unexpectedly rose in the expectation for the 1 Year Inflation Outlook actually came down to the lowest level of December Of 2020 but thats the increase in prices thats coming down. Its not the actual price this decreasing which is where number like this comes into play. Americans according to the federal reserve have a Record Amount of debt. 5. 1 Trillion a huge number. Its important to remember about half of this debt is considered good debt like a mortgage in your house. The other part is record Credit Card Debt and that that is being serviced an average of 28 according to forbes and as americans deal with higher prices and spend more than they take in so does the federal government. Referred a lot about increasing taxes for spending so i asked this. With the plan for the debt . s. Weve got to step back for a second. The last administration increased the debt by a record 8 trillion. Theres irony every question you asked me something we are trying to fix and republicans get in the way of. Literally every question you asked me. The deficit still deficit spending. How do we reduce . Im telling you what the president has done. 1 Trillion is not a small number and trying to sign a legislation to deal with the deficit. The federal debt still at a record 35. 4 actually in dollars as americans hold record that. Thank you very much. C4 joins me now forbes Media Chairman and editorinchief great to have uss as always. Theres so many things that sort of catch your attention here 1 of the things that really caught my attention in this Wall Street Journal Piece Yesterday about the new numbers on the economy and it was title why americans are sour on the economy because theres an argument that everyone should be feeling better but this number federal spending as a share of gdp averaged 2 under trump, 25. 8 under biden. Never has the government spent so much money only to leave people poor. That gets to the basic point. Is where does government get the resources from creek government doesnt create resources. It gets from people who produce things. So when the government takes 25 instead of 20 and since World War ii its averaged around 19 or 20 so boat Joe Biden is taking it to a whole new level. And 1 thing about the Inflation Numbers that gets left out and has since early 1980s his interest payments. The interest you pay on Credit Card Debt. 27 for auto loans, for mortgages is left out of the consumer price index. So if you put that in and this comes from Larry Summers whose former Treasury Secretary under clinton, a democrat the height of Inflation Wasnt 9 . It was 18 . Its not 3 today. It is 6 or 7 so for millions of people their monthly bills have not gone down. Theyre going up. And even though the cpi doesnt think it impresses a costofliving at The End of the month you have to pay the interest or pay interest on the interest. Sort is the number 1 thing you would want voters to think about when they think about the economy onesided saying we will give you things. Were going to cut your taxes and regulation. What you want people to understand . Never make an economy prosperous taxing it. Nevermac and economy prosperous reducing the value of the dollar which is what these people have done for years. When the worst inflation for years switches best formula . Donald trump sp play better off under trump or in this administration and the answer is very obvious. They are better off under trump so while Theres Kennedy in the 1960s his Tax Cuts keeping the dollar as good as gold. The democrat with the reagan Tax Cuts whatever it is the formula stays the same. Low tax rates stable moneyless regulations and good things happen. You ran for president and you ran on a Flat Tax proposal. We just talked about why some entities dont like that but if they could pills to a lot of people and when you hear about no tax on tips no tax in overtime it was proposed maybe we need a Flat Tax which made me think of you which is why we invited you here today and its good to see you. Thanks for joining us today so coming up, former nfl players say it may be time for Miami Dolphins quarterback to retire after his fourth concussion in 5 years. It happened last night in a game against buffalo and heres some of the reaction. I think they should take time to the goat this because of the big moment. If im him at this point im seriously considering retiring from football. If that was my son i would be like it might be time. Lets bring in sportscaster Jim Gray Fox News contributor. Obviously a lot of discussion about this today and a lot of people talking about what they should do or not do. It is tough to watch that Video Knowing what his brain has been through before. It is tough and its like you said the fourth time in 50 years there time in the professional football with Miami Dolphins and you see the reaction of the players and you know the Training Staff and everybody is so concerned and you watch it and you know how dangerous football is to keep putting himself in that circumstance when we seen him suffer before. He will have a long tough decision. 112 milliondollar contract, 167 Million guaranteed and shes got a family and its not full of money. I dont know if the Injury Protection is how that will play out but theres a lot of factors we see so many changes. Theres a Kickoff Change that was enacted this year. Is designed to prevent some of these injuries. It puts a delay in place before the players start moving down The Field after the kickoff. A lot of changes have been made but are they resulting in football being safer . Football is safer in the rules have made it safer but football is not a safe game. Theres 100 Injury Rate in the national football league. Every single play on The Field whos taken The Field during the season will suffer some sort of injury. Some of them are bad. Some you can play right through. But everybody will get hurt. Football is not a safe safe game. They made it much, much safer and try to take a lot of the collisions and a lot of the violence out of it but thats why they wear helmets. Thats where they have pads. Its a tough brutal vicious game. They have made it, if you look what was in the seventies and eighties and even going back to the sixties compared to our it is now, plus the equipment is better so football can be made to replay much safer and thats what the full bully because done. However, there certain aspects of the game you cant take out the collisions. Could have said last night. Why he wasnt my hes going headfirst when his had the problems only he can answer but its a dangerous game. Its a tough game. When you slide when the quarterback slides that changes the action on the part of the defences. Yeah, you cant hit him as hes going down. And its meant to protect quarterback. Where he didnt do that what he was fighting again only he can answer that. But, yes, they try to change the game and certain aspects but you have men who are going full speed and these collisions are inevitable. 1 of those collisions happened last night. Was that inevitable . They made it inevitable. Probably didnt have to be. Dont why he did that but you can blame him for trying to make the best play possible in that moment what his tiff for his teammate. Its instantaneous decisions like that and thats what happen. Absolutely. Is trying to win and move the ball forward and get the first down for his team. We wish and well and we just really hope he gets a lot of support in his Decisionmaking Process and knows how much his teammates and family love him and we hope for the best decision all around.

Winning and losing im just sorry Trump Couldve done a better job. I love trump. Im going to vote for him. It didnt sway me. However, he was off his game and he really fed into her and him sorry he didnt say more about what he really wanted to accomplish. I think it was harris because it was typical trump, same old stuff.
