Why is Donald Trump’s campaign tour drawing tiny crowds while Kamala Harris fills stadiums?
Election Day draws ever nearer. Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are touring the country, focusing on swing states. Very different approaches, though. On the one hand, you have Donald Trump speaking in front of very small crowds with people leaving. In the middle of his speeches, he's talking about how he hates overtime pay and thinks that people don't deserve it. He blames the small crowd sizes on Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden not providing him with enough security. Nobody is talking about the environment anymore, he says. And isn't that funny, he says. On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris is out there speaking in front of packed stadiums, packed crowds, like the crowd she spoke in front of recently in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she's providing detailed policy positions.
And you can feel the enthusiasm in the room. Earlier today, Donald Trump held a very, very dangerous PR stunt in Valdosta, Georgia, diverting resources of the first responders necessary in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Helene. Donald Trump quite literally used rubble from the hurricane to build a podium for where he gave a speech where he was lying and saying that the federal government is not providing any support or enough support, which is completely false, and belied by the statements of both the Republican and Democratic governors from the impacted areas. We have that audio. Once again, a terribly dangerous PR stunt. designed by Donald Trump to divide we the people on something where we should be coming together and fixing problems and being there for our fellow Americans.
Finally, Vice President Kamala Harris got a key endorsement from the former Arizona very conservative Republican Senator Jeff Flake. We'll talk about that and also how Vice President Kamala Harris is expanding the map States like Texas and Florida may be in play. Earlier today, I spoke with the Democratic Congress member and senatorial candidate, Democratic Congress member Colin Allred. We'll talk about that as well. Brett, Jordy, welcome to the show, everybody. It's good for me to be back. Thank you, everybody, for all of your support while I was gone. Brett did an incredible job filling in for all of the hot takes. I hope
to see
much more of that as well. And I know you all do as well. Thank you to our entire team here at the network for making that transition easy for me. And thank you, everybody, for your wishes. Brett, Jordy, how are you doing, guys?
Doing great, Ben. It's great having you back. I know everybody here is so excited to have you back. It's been awesome. You know, just the reaction that I've received, like the warm welcome that I received by stepping into your shoes to do some of these hits. And for those wondering, I will certainly be doing more. Don't you worry. I see a lot of people asking, was it a one-off thing? Is he coming back? I'm going to be doing it. I did some over the weekend and I'll be doing more this weekend. don't you worry. But I know we have a lot to talk about. I want to first send all my thoughts to those affected by this hurricane. Our hearts are with you. And please look into any sort of resources that could be helpful to you online.
And we're here for you. I think In these moments, I think one of the most important things is to try to bring people together and unify folks and try to look for what's best in everybody and how we could all help one another. Unfortunately, we see far too often the forces that be in our nation trying to divide us and further rip us apart. And we'll get into that in this episode. But I wanted to start off by sending my well wishes to everybody. Jordi, how are you doing?
