Last night, despite some issues with his shiny new catarge jet, Donald Trump eventually made it to Dallas in the Republican midterm convention. And boy, did Donald Trump have a sales pitch? Wait, I'll show you a term, Scott. Did Donald Trump have a sales pitch? The president stood on the stage while he was on national TV and promised a $5,000 dividend to every American if Republicans keep control of the house and the Senate. Now, to me, that sounds like he's trying to pay for votes, not sounds like he's paying. He's like, I'm going to pay you if you vote for Republicans. That's what he's saying. So to put that in simple terms, he wants to buy your vote.

3:05$5,000. Watch. Because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success, economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to a shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military, 1776, remember?

4:07I gave it to our military, $1776. I can't, every time I see it, I still can't believe it. Like the first time I saw it, it was like, this cannot be real. Donald Trump says this stuff out loud. Basically, he's like, hey, look, I'm going to buy your vote. That's what he's saying. That he is going to buy your vote. That's what he wants. Now, and he said, I gave the military the $1776, or the $1776 of money that he wanted to give to insurrectionists to pay for the legal bills. By the way, you are paying for that. But it's not the first time that he promised payments. Let me tell you. So he promised Americans $2,000 or $2,000 rebate during his tear of policy when it was enacted. But those $2,000 checks so far have not materialized. And then reading from this, I want to read from something that I just read to this morning as I was checking on all of this. So this isn't the first time. And this is from the inquirer, the inquirer, the inquisitor.

5:09This is from Philadelphia inquirer. The Philadelphia inquirer writes today, first at the start of his second term, President Donald Trump promised a doge dividend, a pledge to take the money that Elon Musk's team would cut from the federal budget and send it to American people. Then Trump moved on to a tear of refund, a plan to use the money the government was collecting in import taxes to fund payments for the public. Those never panned out. And nevertheless, it goes on to say, and then basically writes about exactly what we are telling you right now. Nevertheless, Donald Trump is promising $5,000 to buy your vote. As someone said in the chat, it's a bribe. It sounds like a bribe to me, my opinion, it sounds like a bribe. So forget lowering your grocery bills, forget your health care, forget fixing the housing crisis, forget anything about affordability, taxes, actually explaining how you're going to make people's lives better.

6:11I'm going to just pay you to vote for Republicans. And you saw the people, or you heard the people in that crowd cheering him on. I mean, it is shocking that no one at the Republican Party right now, this mega party will do anything to win. So apparently the new campaign strategy is how about five grand? And then hopefully everybody's going to forget the mess that we have created in this country. JD Vance was questioned about it on Fox News. Here it is. What the president is talking about is fundamentally a dividend for American workers. We're taking in an extraordinary revenue because the president of the United States is actually standing up to both foreign companies, but also foreign countries who've been taking advantage of America's workers for pretty much my entire life. All of these tariffs, what is a tariff Brett? A tariff is when the president of the United States says, if you want to undercut the wages of American workers, if you want to ship American jobs overseas, you're going to pay a big fat penalty when you try to bring that stuff back into the United States of America.

7:13Those penalties have generated a lot of revenues. They've helped us pay down debt. What the president is just saying is if you keep it going to the American people, if you keep us in power and allow us to continue to do these things, then you're going to share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we're creating in the United States of America. I don't think it's a controversial idea. It's actually the president of the United States saying we're all working together. We're all on the same team. And if we continue to create wealth, that wealth is going to go back to the American people. Okay, okay, okay, okay, that was Andy. That was the end of the clip, right? Yes. Okay, this is... I have been telling you since JD Vance came onto the scene and his new brand new persona, which is a MAGA or whatever it is.

8:29I've been telling you that JD Vance is kind of like Candace Owens and others. Like you think they're smart. They just talk fast and don't really say anything, especially JD Vance. At least Candace Owens has her point of view, which pretty much stays consistent, except now she's anti-Trump, but she loved him before. But now she's anti-Trump. So smart, couldn't figure out that Trump was a lying bullshit artist, a grifter. And JD Vance is the same thing. So JD Vance is in the same vein. He's a grifter. Now, I want you to listen to JD Vance because JD Vance says a whole lot. And says nothing. What they say, talking loud and saying nothing, I'm going to play a little bit, play it again, Andy, for them a little bit. But talking fast and saying nothing. Just listen for a little bit and see if you pick up what I'm putting down. What the president's talking about is fundamentally a dividend for American workers. We're taking in an extraordinary amount of revenue because the president of the United States is actually standing up to both foreign companies, but also foreign countries who've been taking advantage of America's workers for pretty much my entire life.

9:36All of these tariffs, what is a tariff threat? A tariff is when the president of the United States says, if you want to undercut the wages of American workers, if you want to ship American jobs overseas, you're going to pay a big. Is it? Is it? What is all that mumbo jumbo, whatever explaining what a tariff there is? Look, we have talked about countries around the world where corrupt politicians show up around every election time. They're handing out cash or handing out food or handing out favors, whatever it takes to secure political loyalty and Americans look at that and say, oh my gosh, that's not democracy. Look what they're doing. Look at what Erdogan is doing. Look at what other. And these are people who Donald Trump love. Look at what would Vladimir Putin is doing. Look at what all these strong men are doing. So what the hell do you call this? It's very same thing. You know, like Vladimir Putin who's president wants to be president for life has been president for a long time. And that's what Donald Trump wants. Now legally there is an important distinction here, okay, because Trump isn't literally handing out voters $5,000 in exchange for the individual votes.

10:37But this is like, you know, what white collar folks do or I don't know if they still call it white collar crime or whatever, but anyways, this is not. I don't know if it's criminal should be. But so he's not exactly handing it out. They're finding a legal way to do it. You know, the people in charge, the oligarchy, the people who are in charge, right? The power structure of the state will find a legal way to make something illegal legal. They'll find loopholes. I think so this is like a loophole to me. The proposal would apply broadly. And experts say that Congress would have to approve the money. And I think that's why you did not get your money that because Congress is saying you just can't promise these things. But politically, come on. If the Republicans win, if you win with us. It's fall in Jeep country and during the drive into fall sales event, get a great deal on four by fours that refuse to be contained like Jeep Wrangler. Confidence built into every drive with the most awarded SUV ever, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and freedom that can't be denied with the open air freedom in Jeep Gladiator.

11:38After 85 years, it's no surprise that Jeep became America's SUV brand. Get a great deal during the Jeep Drive into fall sales event. Jeep is one more awards over its lifetime than any other SUV brand, Jeep and the Jeep Grille Registered Trademarks of FCAUS LLC. You get $5,000 if you are with us and we win. You're going to get $5,000. That is the president of the United States explicitly. I believe trying a massive government payout to his party winning an election. And then they'll come up with the thing saying, if you're only getting it if you're a Republican, I don't know, but we'll see. And here's the other part that he conveniently forgot to mention. Where the hell is all this money going to come from? Because giving roughly $270 million American adults $5,000 could cost more than $1 trillion. And what does that do? That then adds to the national debt. So basically to me, it sounds like you are paying for your own rebate and refund.

12:43That's basically what's happening. He's offering money. You're going to get a chunk of money but then end up end up paying for it in taxes. So in case you're wondering, this is not Donald Trump reaching into his own pocket, he's offering your money, you, your money. And then he's expecting you to thank him for it at the ballot box, rather than just having a free and fair election. And you keeping the money that you would otherwise pay in taxes. So think about how insulting that is. He thinks that your vote has a price. He thinks that your anger has a price. And he thinks that your memory has a price as well. And that should bother you whether you are Republican, whether you're Democrat, whether you're independent or anything. Because elections should be about earning your vote. It shouldn't be about someone who wants to buy your vote. That's not what this should be about. But apparently Donald Trump doesn't care. So make your case, defend your record.

13:43Tell Americans what you're going to do is how that's how it's supposed to be. But when your closing argument becomes for the next 10 minutes, when that, when, when your next closing argument becomes, hey, if you vote for me, I'm going to give you some dough. That's how you show just how desperate Donald Trump's and the Republican party are getting. That's how desperate he is getting right now. It's really quite unbelievable. It's really quite unbelievable. I'm sorry. But that's Donald Trump in his closing argument when he is spending money on this, what he talked about. This is this was his pitch about why you should vote for him and allow him to do this $5,000 thing or whatever it is or vote for the Republican party because he says, I put my party back in power.

14:46There might be a $5,000 check. Roll this is about building a ballroom. It's dangerous because it's numerous exchanges at more than one. And it's been amazing. Do I get credit for it? No. Do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money where I have to, I'm the only one. I build a ballroom. No money, no tax. I don't want tax money. I don't want anything. It's me and a bunch of patriots. They put up lots of money to build this, which is desperately needed. And it's going to be beautiful. And everyone's going to say, oh, thank God. No, it's going to be beautiful. Zero tax dollars for the ballroom. Zero tax dollars. And what happens? I get criticized. It's the most incredible thing. Anybody else would do that. They say, what a nice gesture. So I'm giving you a ballroom free of charge. That's all I can tell you. And it will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. It'll be the best. And it's, by the way, drone proof, bullet proof.

15:46Everything proof. It's got glass. This thick, six inches thick. It's going to be great. It's going to be a little safer than the place that we happened to. What does it have to do with you? How does that help you? He keeps saying that this ballroom is free to taxpayers. Private donors are paying for the ballroom itself. The taxpayers are paying hundreds of millions of dollars as well for security and infrastructure connected to that project. So it's not just that. Again, lying, lying, lying.
