Elly (00:00):
Welcome to the first presidential debate between Vice
President Kamala Harris andformer president Donald Trump.
man (00:11):
Kamala Harris.
Uh, he
Elly (00:14):
ran, he ran around the podium.
she came right in on him and sheextended her hand and walked
right in on him.
He avoided her and cowered likea dog behind podium.
He did not want to look her inthe eye.
Donald Trump did not want tolook Kamala Harris in the eye.
Typical avoidance behavior.
And he definitely wanted toavoid her.
(00:36):
And finally shook her handbehind the podium.
Hiding behind his podium.
She went into his area.
Into his space.
Cornered him behind the podium.
The body language wasundeniable.
Unbelievable.
Trump was speechless.
It was all Kamala in control.
The Next President of the U (00:58):
So, I was raised as a middle class
kid.
And I am actually the onlyperson on this stage who has a
plan that is about lifting upthe middle class and working
people of America.
I believe in the ambition, theaspirations, the dreams of the
American people.
And that is why I imagine andhave actually a plan to build
(01:19):
what I call an opportunityeconomy.
Because here's the thing.
We know that we have a shortageof homes and housing, and the
cost of housing is too expensivefor far too many people.
We know that young families needsupport to raise their children,
and I intend on extending a taxcut for those families of 6,
(01:40):
000, which is the largest childtax credit that we have given in
a long time, so that those youngfamilies can afford to buy a
crib, buy a car seat, buyclothes for their children.
My One of them is smallbusinesses.
I was actually My mother raisedmy sister and me, but there was
a woman who helped raise us.
We call her our second mother.
(02:01):
She was a small business owner.
I love our small businesses.
My plan is to give a 50, 000 taxdeduction to start up small
businesses, knowing they arepart of the backbone of
America's economy.
My opponent, on the other hand,his plan is to do what he has
done before.
Which is to provide a tax cutfor billionaires and big
(02:22):
corporations, which will resultin 5 trillion to America's
deficit.
My opponent has a plan that Icall the Trump's sales tax,
which would be a 20 percent taxon every day goods that you rely
on to get through the month.
Economists have said that thatTrump sales tax would actually
result for middle class familiesin about 4, 000 more a year.
(02:47):
Okay.
Because of his policies and hisideas
Ethan (02:51):
The proof is in the pudding.
In Trump's first term he didindeed sacrifice the public to
give huge gains to the rich andmega corporations through his
tax cuts.
Even more through less reportedtactics like back-door
deregulation.
Workin folk got little tonothing.
The twenty percent tax Harrisspoke about refers to Trumps non
(03:13):
strategic tarriffs.
Which also cost consumers,importing businesses and others.
In addition to increasingpaperwork, work load and prices,
his tarriffs also causedshortages and slowed down the
supply chain even before thepandemic.
I'll let Elly take it from here.
his, plan to raise tariffsagain, which was a disaster for
(03:37):
housing.
As we all know, lumber pricesskyrocketed by a third.
His tariff was 24 percent onCanadian lumber.
So it's usually bad for thepeople.
We pay more and when it comes tohousing, we paid a lot more.
And prices soared by a third andthen they kept going up because
of COVID and other factors.
(03:59):
And remember he raised thetariffs on steel and aluminum
too and there is steel in ahome.
So that didn't help either.
And his tax relief, as he calledit, was supposed to give people
4, 000 in their pocket.
It's a 4, 000 raise, Trump said.
And I didn't receive anything.
A lot of people paid more, orsaw nothing, or maybe got a 10
(04:22):
benefit, I know a lot of peoplewho paid more.
I saw no benefit.
Of course, none of us are,wealthy I know fact check will
tell you that everyone got abreak, but that's not true.
That's not true.
Myself included, and friends,family, no one saw 4, 000.
No one even saw 1, 000 in taxrelief.
(04:45):
so the fact checkers are wrong.
They must be all rich because Iknow by experience, They must be
rich.
I ain't see no money.
The Next President of the (04:57):
Backs of middle class people paying
for tax cuts for billionaires.
DJ Trump (05:02):
First of all, I have no sales tax.
That's an incorrect statement,she knows that.
Uh, we're doing tariffs on othercountries.
Other countries are going tofinally, after 75 years pay us
back for all that we've done forthe world.
You're right.
And the tariff will besubstantial in some cases.
I took in billions and billionsof dollars, as you know, from
China.
In fact, they never took thetariff off because it was so
(05:23):
much money they can't.
It would totally destroyeverything that they've set out
to do.
They're taking in billions ofdollars from China and other
places.
They've left the tariffs on.
When I had it, I had tariffs,and yet I had no inflation.
Look, we've had a Terribleeconomy because inflation has
which is really known as acountry buster.
It breaks up countries We haveinflation like very few people
(05:45):
have ever seen before probablythe worst in our nation's
history We were at 21 But that'sbeing generous because many
things are 50 60 70 and 80percent higher than they were
just a few years ago This hasbeen a disaster for people for
the middle class, but for everyclass on top of that we have
Millions of people pouring intoour country from
Elly (06:07):
So, let's deal with this, uh, 80 percent increase that is
just a, a crock.
it started going up in hisadministration.
It spiked because some of histariffs and then there was price
gouging, there was more pricegouging during COVID.
after COVID There was more pricegouging for housing, for food.
And why did our food go up?
People think about this.
(06:29):
We produce our own Beef, pork,chicken, eggs, dairy, ice cream,
cheese.
We also plant tons of soybeanand corn and We export much of
our food.
California exports almost all ofthe nuts it produces and much of
(06:50):
the fruit and some of thevegetables.
We grow most of our own food.
Grains, beef, eggs, dairy, andmuch of our fruits and
vegetables.
so companies decided to gougeus.
they took advantage of it andgouged even more.
like I said, We grow most of ourown food.
When you talk about pirates andthe Panama Canal and the
(07:12):
Mississippi getting, jam piled,most of that's not food.
Our food is grown here.
for beef prices to get, jackedup during either presidency is
ridiculous.
It's even more ridiculous whenIt's COVID, some people weren't
working from home.
(07:33):
They just lost their jobs.
They couldn't eat, and they'rejacking up food prices like they
did because the top 40 percentcould work from home, or had
enough money to get by, or both,or had family, whatever.
The bottom 60%, some of themcould get by.
the bottom 40 percent werehaving a real tough time.
I'm talking SES.
We've got a lot of Humongouscompanies that monopolize our
(07:57):
food, our food industry, andthey gouge the heck out of us
for everything.
Some of these things are what wegrow here in America.
So there is absolutely no reasontalk about supply chain ships
are floating out in the harborin California and everything's
backed up in California and theMississippi and the Panama Canal
and there's still pirates, Inthe Red Sea, you can't talk
(08:19):
about that, especially whenyou're talking about food.
We grow a lot of our own food,This is ridiculous.
Don't believe it?
the multinationals, the bigcorporations, the Wall Street
corps, The lumber companies thatcontrol and monopolize the
lumber industry jacked up, theprices even after the 24 percent
(08:39):
tariff that Trump put on theCanadian lumber, our friends.
We need to do something aboutit.
DJ Trump (08:45):
prisons and jails from mental institutions and insane
asylums and they're coming inand they're taking jobs that are
occupied right now by AfricanAmericans and Hispanics and also
unions.
Unions are going to be affected
Elly (08:58):
Okay, African Americans and Hispanics.
There's an awful lot of whitepeople, Baby Don Don that work
in the factories and are unionworkers and what is this thing?
It's taking their jobs fromblacks and Mexicans.
What what is that?
as if all blacks and Mexicanswork in a factory Give me a
(09:19):
break, dude, you know, hedoesn't even know Statistically
how many people of color, whitepeople are In manufacturing, or
in any field for that matter.
He's an idiot.
I got the biggest words.
DJ Trump (09:37):
you see what's happening.
You see what's happening withtowns throughout the United
States.
You look at Springfield, Ohio.
You look at Aurora in Colorado.
They are taking over the towns.
They're taking over buildings.
They're going in violently.
These are the people.
That she and Biden led into ourcountry and they're destroying
our country.
(09:58):
They're dangerous.
They're at the highest level ofcriminality and we have to get
them out.
Elly (10:03):
There are criminals everywhere.
There's always been criminals inSpringfield and there's always
been criminals in Colorado andthat's just crazy.
And they're not coming in frominsane asylums and jails, any
more than they are coming infrom, some nice little village
somewhere in, in another part ofthe world.
(10:23):
Population is population.
You're going to get some badapples, certainly you are.
We have bad apples here.
There's bad apples that come in.
that happens.
what are we gonna do?
Put them on a mind melt machine?
Maybe we can call Spock up andsay, Hey Spock, can you do a
mind melt with everybody thatcomes through the border and we
can check out if they are, uh,you know, if they're bad or if
(10:44):
they're good.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Call Spock.
DJ Trump (10:50):
I created one of the greatest economies in the
history of our country.
I'll do it again and evenbetter.
Ethan (10:56):
Trump did not create the greatest economy.
Economic growth was negativeunder his administration; His
tax cuts helped the rich and bigcorporations.
Most Americans did not see a taxdecrease.
Trump promised us a fourthousand dollar raise as he
called it.
We never saw it.
However, some experienced andincrease in the taxes they owed.
Elly (11:20):
Unemployment was six point four percent.
Ethan (11:25):
Inflation was higher than his predecessor, Obama.
Further, inflation continued toclimb during his presidency due
to his policies, lack ofleadership and unwillingness to
play hard ball and make the bestdeals as he likes to boast.
Housing costs increased bytwenty seven percent pre
pandemic.
(11:45):
He had a net job loss of nearlythree million.
Biden Harris democrats gainednearly sixteen million jobs and
counting.
Trump lost one hundred seventyeight thousand manufacturing
jobs and twelve thousand andseven hundred coal mining jobs.
Jobs he promised to protect,jobs he said would not only
(12:05):
remain, but increase.
Supposedly this was the reasonfor the tarriffs.
But sweeping tarriffs hurtconsumers and the American
companies and importers.
They have to pay fees, followmore rules, hire more people to
deal with the red tape and soon.
The cost is passed down to theconsumer.
(12:25):
I agree that we shouldmanufacture high ticket items in
this country because companiesmake a higher profit margin on
these products and many paybetter and are unionized.
Low margin products just addmore environmental toxins to our
air water and soil, andgenerally do not generate good
paying jobs.
(12:45):
I might add, America shouldcontinue to grow and raise our
own food, but that is anothertopic we can discuss later.
Anyway, The democrats underBiden and Harris, gained nearly
one million manufacturing jobs,and as of this date nearly
sixteen million jobs overall.
(13:06):
much of which was due to theirInflation Reduction Act,
Infrastructure Bill, Chips Act,and clean energy investment.
Back to republican Trump and hisadministration.
Home prices surged under Trumptwenty seven percent before the
pandemic.
Initially because of hisCanadian lumber tarriff and
later because of marketquintopoly price gouging.
(13:29):
They claimed supply chain,covid, lack of workers and even
underestimating the market asreasons for the outrageous spike
in lumber prices.
But they never spoke about thehuge financial gains to the
companies, their stock and thosein charge.
Prices for lumber are still highas heck, even though the country
is back to normal.
(13:50):
Even though these giantcompanies own the biggest
saw-mills, lumber prices soaredfrom$349 per thousand board feet
in April 2020 to one thousand,five hundred and fourteen
dollars in May, according to thetrade journal Fastmarkets Random
Lengths.
In the summer of twenty twenyone, the composite price index
(14:12):
compiled by Random Lengths hastumbled by 50% to$770 per
thousand board feet.
So what gives?
Remember, by in large, that thehuge controlling companies do
not own the forests.
Timber prices from forestsbarely moved upward; however,
the forest owners, small,private saw-mill owners and
(14:35):
their employees did not reapthese gains.
Additionally, demand wasfalling, but prices still did
not drop for the consumer.
Yet the shareholders and leadersof the companies that buy, sell,
mill, distribute and control theindustry, keep stuffin their
pockets.
So, you see, I do not need falsereports from the media or
(14:57):
industry to know what has beenhappening.
In twenty twenty one, FederalReserve Chair Powell, quipped
that lumber price increases weretransitory and he blamed covid
for the hike which as I justexplained was a small part of
the price increases.
I wonder if Trump and his toppeople had stocks in these
companies, or owned forests tobe harvested, or stock-piled
(15:20):
lumber to sell?
Hmm Moving along, Trump's tradedeficit increased by thirty six
percent.
More people were uninsured andthe federal debt that we the
people pay for increased byfifty percent in less than four
years.
Big corporations, top CEO's andthe rich made bank.
(15:40):
Their wealth doubled evenquadrupled during Trumps
administration and covid.
Just as it did in the yearsbefore and after the two
thousand eight crash.
Trump's tax cuts, tarriffs, lackof leadership, covid, and
corporate price gouging andridiculous CEO pay, caused undo
suffering of the Americanpeople, yet paid for by the
(16:03):
American people, whilesimultaneously stuffing their
own silk-ligned pockets.
How rich do you have to be?
to be happy?
I know it's not that simple.
Because traded corporate sharesand profits must always go up,
this is what we are left with,and is one of the reasons why
monopolies, duopolies orquintopolies are very bad for
(16:26):
the consumer and small business.
The Next President of the (16:28):
Let's talk about what Donald Trump
left us.
Donald Trump left us the worstunemployment since the Great
Depression.
Donald Trump left us the worstpublic health.
Epidemic in a century.
Donald Trump left us the worstattack on our democracy.
Elly (16:49):
So, yeah, he, he attacked our democracy.
It's the worst attack becauseit's pretty much the only
attack.
then you look at the publichealth.
He really dropped the ball withCOVID.
And I don't want to go into ithere because I'll be here all
day, he dropped the ball onCOVID.
Go look at some of our, othershows and.
You'll find it.
He really dropped the ball andregarding the economy.
Yes.
The economy was down when he wasin office and he lost a bunch of
(17:13):
jobs and not just because ofCOVID
The Next President of the (17:16):
what we have done is clean up Donald
Trump's mess.
Elly (17:19):
Yeah, the Democrats always clean up the messes of the
Republicans, I wouldn't say it'sthe worst economy from the Civil
War, since Reagan, it, it wasreally bad.
Well, we had the crash of 08,that was really bad for a lot of
people for many years.
out in the country for 11, 12years people were suffering
because of the 08 crash.
And then of course Reagan, hisridiculous trickle down, make
(17:43):
America great.
that guy, he really screwedthings up too for a lot of
people.
Unemployment was 28 percent Inthe manufacturing regions for
the big three and all thesuppliers of the big three and
supporting peripheral companiesthat supported the big three or
fed or clothed the personnelthat work there, the people who
(18:05):
work there.
So yeah.
The Next President of the U (18:08):
And what I intend to do is build on
what we know are the aspirationsand the hopes of the American
people.
But I'm going to tell y'all onthis debate tonight, you're
going to hear.
From the same old tiredplaybook, a bunch of lies,
grievances, and name calling.
What you're going to heartonight is a detailed and
dangerous plan called Project2025 that the former president
(18:31):
intends on implementing if hewere elected again.
I believe very strongly That theAmerican people want a president
who understands the importanceof bringing us together knowing
we have so much more in commonthan what separates us.
And I pledge to you to be apresident for all Americans.
Elly (18:49):
That's great.
That's what we need.
And it is true that theRepublicans always, increase the
deficit.
increases the public debt.
Cuts programs and takes awayrights.
And this is how it's been for aslong as I can remember.
And it's, it got quite bad inthe Reagan years.
(19:10):
And, Bush, 2, it was quite bad.
They also deregulate.
There's always a recession, itseems.
or a depression.
I would call 08 a depression.
That was not a recession.
That was a depression.
Sorry.
Sorry, folks.
You know, if you have a good joband you're educated, you
probably didn't feel it as muchor you felt it for a little
(19:31):
while, maybe, but you still gotpaid or you work from home.
other people, were.
Losing their homes, starving, norunning water, no heat, no air
conditioning, and I know peoplelike that personally.
so to make my point, Democratsdo pull us out from the crap,
the deregulation, and highdeficits, and high debt.
(19:54):
Public debt and the crashing ofthe economy and the stripping of
rights, the stripping ofprograms for the poor or the
elderly or whoever, theDemocrats, always pull us out of
the crap that the Republicanshave done.
So, let's listen to some more.
(20:16):
I don't want to go off on atangent.
DJ Trump (20:18):
Number one, I have nothing to do, as you know, and
as she knows better than anyone,I have nothing to do with
Project 2025.
That's out there.
I haven't read it.
I don't want to read it,purposely.
Elly (20:28):
He gave speeches at the Heritage Foundation, Project
2025.
And a couple hundred people thatworked in his, cabinet And for
some agencies, et cetera, wereheritage people.
And some of the people that werereally close and advisors to him
were project 2025, supporters,or they wrote in it.
(20:52):
They've mentioned it.
Trump's name is mentioned in itmany times in the document
itself.
And, this is a bunch of craphe's saying.
Is he, is he old or insane?
I don't know.
Yeah, actually I do know.
He's a con man.
Baby Connie.
He's twisted and he's a con man.
DJ Trump (21:11):
This was a group of people that got together.
They came up with some ideas, Iguess, some good, some bad, but
it makes no difference.
I have nothing to do.
Everybody knows I'm an openbook.
Everybody knows what I'm goingto do.
Cut taxes very substantially andcreate a great economy.
Like I did before, we had thegreatest economy.
We got hit with a pandemic andthe pandemic was not since 1970.
Elly (21:33):
let's clear this thing up.
The pandemic, Trump had one yearof the pandemic.
Biden had two and a half yearsof the pandemic, two of which
were quite bad, 21 and 22.
Trump was president in 2020, oneyear of the pandemic.
And like I said, the worst timewas 21, 22 and and 20.
(21:54):
I mean, I'll give him that, butthere were two and a half years
because it officially ended in2023.
So yeah, he can't talk aboutthat excuse because, it just
doesn't fly if anyone thinksabout it The pandemic was one
year during his presidency andtwo and a half during Biden's.
And.
Worse yet, it was in the firstpart of Biden's presidency, not
(22:19):
in the latter part, so thatmakes it even worse, right?
It's even harder to get thingsdone when that's going on in the
first part of your presidency.
DJ Trump (22:30):
Where a hundred million people died.
Has there been anything like it?
We did a phenomenal job with thepandemic.
We handed them over a countrywhere the economy and where the
stock market was higher than itwas before the pandemic came in.
Nobody's ever seen anything likeit.
Elly (22:48):
I don't have the current stats and I don't have the stats
after the stats, which is thepeople who died from
complications after COVID.
Ethan (22:55):
There were not one hundred million covid deaths.
Worlwide, in the first 2 years,confirmed cases were around 5
million, but greatlyundereported.
Calculating excess mortality,the WHO wrote in twenty twenty
two, that the number then wasapproximately fifteen million.
Many countries now are reportingcovid as respiratory disease.
(23:17):
Three hundred to one thousandpeople die each week from covid
19 in the UNited States.
In America, there were severalhundred thousand deaths in
twenty twenty.
By fall of twenty twenty therewere over seven million
confirmed covid 19 cases.
Cases not deaths.
As time clicked by, cases anddeaths skyrocketed and kept
(23:40):
climbing, Trump still did nottake the health of the nation
seriously he wanted to allowmass sports events to carry on,
and repeatedly denouncedscientists, social distancing
and wearing a mask.
He told us the virus was slowingdown and that we are defeating
the China virus, that wearing amask is a choice.
(24:02):
That only old people and sickpeople are vulnerable.
Well then that settles it.
If it's just old and sick peoplethat die, who cares, What an
unsympathetic, narcissistic,sociopath.
In nearly 3 years, Covidnineteen killed over one million
Americans by twenty twenty two,and people continue to die from
(24:24):
it every day.
Deaths from heart, lung or othercomplications from covid are not
tabulated.
he just talked about the stockmarket.
Yeah.
The stock market went up and itsoared during Biden.
It went way up.
It just crushed Trump.
so I don't even know why he'smentioned in stock market
because he's got poop on hisface.
Dumb dumb.
DJ Trump (24:44):
We made ventilators for the entire world.
We got gowns.
We got masks.
We did things.
Elly (24:50):
no, he didn't.
He didn't put that into effectto make companies, manufacture
those or to pay companies tomanufacture gowns and
ventilators, et cetera.
As a matter of fact, he senttons of ventilators and masks
and other supplies to China.
Yeah, China of all places,during the pandemic and we
(25:14):
needed those, we needed all ofthose.
And he also moved the storageout from the CDC to Washington,
DC.
I don't know what funny stuff isgoing on there, but from the
first time ever it was movedfrom the warehouse of the CDC to
DC.
maybe we should look at that alittle closer.
Anyway, yeah, so China got abunch of, uh, our ventilators
(25:38):
and stuff.
Unbelievable.
He, he's got poop on his faceagain.
DJ Trump (25:43):
That nobody thought possible and people give me
credit for rebuilding themilitary.
They give me credit for a lot ofthings, but not enough credit
for the great job we did withthe pandemic.
But the only jobs they got werebounce back jobs.
These were jobs bounce back andit bounced back and it went to
their benefit.
I was the one that created them.
They know it.
And so does everybody else.
Ethan (26:03):
Bounce back jobs?
Don't make me laugh.
NOW, Let me reiterate, Trumplost three million jobs Biden
Harris produced nearly sixteenmillion jobs and counting.
We'll place the pacifier in themouth of this infinitesimal
gutter snipe, they call TheDonald, We deduct Donalds three
(26:24):
million in losses and take themfrom the Democrats.
Biden Harris democrats produced13 million jobs compared to Mad
Baby Don Don's three million injob losses., Happy Now Donald?
The Next President of the U. (26:38):
So Donald Trump has no plan for
you.
Elly (26:43):
In reality, let's look at this.
the jobs, unemployment was 6.
4 percent during Trump andunemployment for Biden was 3.
7, and that was a few monthsago, I think January, yes,
January.
And the most recent was just acouple of weeks old is 4.
1%.
(27:04):
So, Here we go.
Donald, is relying on, hisfollowers to be little drooling
idiots.
Ethan (27:13):
Another factor to consider is that when Trump took
office, the federal funds ratewas zero point six six, when he
left it was zero point zeroeight percent.
Almost zero.
However, when Biden Harrisdemocrats took office, the
independent federal reserve hadno mercy for Americans
(27:34):
struggling out of the pandemic.
and swiftly raised the rates toover five percent.
As you know high interest rateslose jobs and dampen the economy
for the working class, anddecrease purchases, especially
large purchases.
But even with this handicap, thedemocrats jobs scorecard buried
(27:54):
the Trump administration.
Today, September eighteenthtwenty twenty four, the federal
reserve lowered rates after atwenty three year high.
by half a point.
Mad Baby DJ cried out loud thatthe rate cut was to help the
democrats, but Mad Baby, we haveless than two months before the
(28:15):
election.
If this was partisan in favor ofthe democrats, the independently
managed federal reserve wouldnever have given you such low
rates, and swiftly skyrocket therates during the democratic
administration.
I want to see your Whartontranscripts.
Really.
another thing, he lost 12, 700coal mining jobs.
(28:38):
Yeah.
12, 700 coal mining jobs.
And he was going to save coalmining jobs.
Remember?
I got me an uncle that's coalminer And he was going to save
manufacturing jobs.
Remember that?
he was negative 178, 000manufacturing jobs and don't say
(28:58):
it's COVID because like I said,Biden had two and a half years
of COVID, not one.
Trump's tax plan benefited thebig corporations and the rich
and their income went upsubstantially during the
pandemic yet.
And you know, there we go.
Price gouging.
(29:21):
We have to change some of therules because we cannot allow
corporations to gouge us forthings we need.
And I'm talking about
Elly (29:29):
nutritional, non-toxic food, clean water.
Reliable.
Affordable products.
Reliable.
Affordable electricity.
Affordable.
Wi Fi.
Even out in the country.
Good paying jobs.
Solid, good paying jobs withbenefits.
Ethan (29:51):
I would like to add affordable homes, home
mortgages, and affordable andreliable vehicles.
Sorry to have interupted youElly, continue speaking about
corporations price gouging ourneeds.
I'm talking about everything wehave to have.
power, right?
We have to have power in today'ssociety.
(30:12):
Our homes aren't set up for offgrid, and even if they were,
disabled people and elderlypeople are gonna have a real
hard time with that.
So that's just ridiculous.
And like I said, Trump increasedthe federal debt and the trade
deficit.
And as I said, Trump increasedthe debt substantially in only
(30:33):
four years.
And the trade deficit went up,36.
3%.
Federal debt went up 50%.
home prices went up 27.
5 percent under Trump I rememberhis tariff was 24.
So the monopolies price gougingon top of that and it continued
(30:54):
throughout the pandemic Anyway,let's get, back to the debate.
The Next President of the U (30:59):
You look at his economic plan, it's
all about tax breaks for therichest people.
I am offering what I describe asan opportunity economy, and the
best economists in our country,if not the world, have reviewed
our relative plans for thefuture of America.
What Goldman Sachs has said isthat Donald Trump's plan would
(31:20):
make the economy worse.
Mine would strengthen theeconomy.
What the Wharton School has saidis Donald Trump's plan would
actually explode the deficit.
16 Nobel laureates havedescribed his economic plan as
something that would increaseinflation and by the middle of
next year would invite arecession.
(31:40):
You just have to look at wherewe are and where we stand on the
issues.
And I'd invite you to know thatDonald Trump actually has no
plan for you because he is moreinterested in defending himself.
Elly (31:52):
He's a con man.
The Next President of the U (31:53):
And he isn't looking out for you.
Okay, we're
Elly (31:57):
gonna end it here.
This is part one of the firstdebate.
VP Harris and, Baby DonDon.
Oh, I'm sorry, former presidentDonald J.
Trump.
Anyway, I'm going to wrap thisup.
This is part one.
I'm going to do a series, a miniseries of the debate and give
(32:18):
you some real facts And somethoughts, some ideas you can
think about get together withfriends and make some changes,
get a hold of Scrood.

buzzsprout.
com you can text us there.
Or donate.
And also people, we need to payattention to things.
And we gotta stop being,divided.
We have to look at thingslogically.
Where is the problem?
We have to vote all the way downthe ticket.
We have to vote for Kamala andTim and Democrats down the
(33:03):
ticket, For a better economy,for a better safety net, for our
social security, for our healthcare, abortion rights, civil
rights.
we need to vote Democrat.
We need to stay away from thereligious right, the Heritage
Foundation, the FederalistSociety.
(33:26):
con men like Donald J.
Trump, he is a con man, and ifyou listen to some of the stuff
on our podcast, over time youwill get all the information.
About what he has done prior tohis presidency, not just during
or after.
The things he did before--hisswindling his bad behavior, his
(33:48):
ripping people off.
he's not a multibillionaire.
Like I said, in many of ourpodcasts, if the man was to
liquidate, he probably is in thered.
Meaning, he doesn't have liquidassets.
He's probably got a few millstashed aside somewhere, but
he's not a billionaire.
he's not.
(34:09):
He may have a billion in assets,but he's underwater.
He's in debt.
He's an OPM person, otherpeople's money.
That's what he does.
That's what a lot of rich peopledo, and they don't have as much
money as they say.
Trump couldn't pay 350 millionfor his and his company's fraud
And listen to this, noregistered bail bondsman would
(34:31):
grant him the money.
He's broke.
That's why they didn't grant himthe money.
Finally, the court felt sorryfor him and reduced it to some
ridiculous amount.
It would think it was around 150million and I don't think he's
paid that either.
And of course he didn't payCarol yet.
And, oh boy, oh boy.
(34:51):
If this were you and I, we'd bein jail.
His so called billions are tiedup in truth social, and we know
how that goes.
Right.
He was in the hole coming intothe presidency.
he and his family have madeloads of money during his
presidency selling goods,committing wire fraud, deals
(35:13):
with foreign dignitaries.
making money with foreigndignitaries and providing deals
for them and jobs for his familyand filling his hotels, office
suites and golf courses and Mara Lago with foreign and domestic
politicians, the Republicans,businessmen and women, foreign
and domestic lobbyists, SecretService Agents, RNC, despite the
(35:39):
emoluments clause of theConstitution of the United
States of America, So let's cutthe crap and let's really look
at what's best for our countryand the future of our country.
so far there is nearly a 16million jobs gain and counting
Thanks to the Democrats, andmanufacturing jobs increased by
(36:04):
nearly 1 million and counting,thanks to the Democrats.
Not sorry, Mad Baby Don Don.

Ben (36:43):
I'm Ben Scrood.
Elly (36:45):
I'm Elly Stone, and we're the hosts of Scrood.
Welcome to the first presidential debate between Vice
President Kamala Harris andformer president Donald Trump.
man (00:11):
Kamala Harris.
Uh, he
Elly (00:14):
ran, he ran around the podium.
she came right in on him and sheextended her hand and walked
right in on him.
He avoided her and cowered likea dog behind podium.
He did not want to look her inthe eye.
Donald Trump did not want tolook Kamala Harris in the eye.
Typical avoidance behavior.
And he definitely wanted toavoid her.
(00:36):
And finally shook her handbehind the podium.
Hiding behind his podium.
She went into his area.
Into his space.
Cornered him behind the podium.
The body language wasundeniable.
Unbelievable.
Trump was speechless.
It was all Kamala in control.
The Next President of the U (00:58):
So, I was raised as a middle class
kid.
And I am actually the onlyperson on this stage who has a
plan that is about lifting upthe middle class and working
people of America.
I believe in the ambition, theaspirations, the dreams of the
American people.
And that is why I imagine andhave actually a plan to build
(01:19):
what I call an opportunityeconomy.
Because here's the thing.
We know that we have a shortageof homes and housing, and the
cost of housing is too expensivefor far too many people.
We know that young families needsupport to raise their children,
and I intend on extending a taxcut for those families of 6,
(01:40):
000, which is the largest childtax credit that we have given in
a long time, so that those youngfamilies can afford to buy a
crib, buy a car seat, buyclothes for their children.
My One of them is smallbusinesses.
I was actually My mother raisedmy sister and me, but there was
a woman who helped raise us.
We call her our second mother.
(02:01):
She was a small business owner.
I love our small businesses.
My plan is to give a 50, 000 taxdeduction to start up small
businesses, knowing they arepart of the backbone of
America's economy.
My opponent, on the other hand,his plan is to do what he has
done before.
Which is to provide a tax cutfor billionaires and big
(02:22):
corporations, which will resultin 5 trillion to America's
deficit.
My opponent has a plan that Icall the Trump's sales tax,
which would be a 20 percent taxon every day goods that you rely
on to get through the month.
Economists have said that thatTrump sales tax would actually
result for middle class familiesin about 4, 000 more a year.
(02:47):
Okay.
Because of his policies and hisideas
Ethan (02:51):
The proof is in the pudding.
In Trump's first term he didindeed sacrifice the public to
give huge gains to the rich andmega corporations through his
tax cuts.
Even more through less reportedtactics like back-door
deregulation.
Workin folk got little tonothing.
The twenty percent tax Harrisspoke about refers to Trumps non
(03:13):
strategic tarriffs.
Which also cost consumers,importing businesses and others.
In addition to increasingpaperwork, work load and prices,
his tarriffs also causedshortages and slowed down the
supply chain even before thepandemic.
I'll let Elly take it from here.
his, plan to raise tariffsagain, which was a disaster for
(03:37):
housing.
As we all know, lumber pricesskyrocketed by a third.
His tariff was 24 percent onCanadian lumber.
So it's usually bad for thepeople.
We pay more and when it comes tohousing, we paid a lot more.
And prices soared by a third andthen they kept going up because
of COVID and other factors.
(03:59):
And remember he raised thetariffs on steel and aluminum
too and there is steel in ahome.
So that didn't help either.
And his tax relief, as he calledit, was supposed to give people
4, 000 in their pocket.
It's a 4, 000 raise, Trump said.
And I didn't receive anything.
A lot of people paid more, orsaw nothing, or maybe got a 10
(04:22):
benefit, I know a lot of peoplewho paid more.
I saw no benefit.
Of course, none of us are,wealthy I know fact check will
tell you that everyone got abreak, but that's not true.
That's not true.
Myself included, and friends,family, no one saw 4, 000.
No one even saw 1, 000 in taxrelief.
(04:45):
so the fact checkers are wrong.
They must be all rich because Iknow by experience, They must be
rich.
I ain't see no money.
The Next President of the (04:57):
Backs of middle class people paying
for tax cuts for billionaires.
DJ Trump (05:02):
First of all, I have no sales tax.
That's an incorrect statement,she knows that.
Uh, we're doing tariffs on othercountries.
Other countries are going tofinally, after 75 years pay us
back for all that we've done forthe world.
You're right.
And the tariff will besubstantial in some cases.
I took in billions and billionsof dollars, as you know, from
China.
In fact, they never took thetariff off because it was so
(05:23):
much money they can't.
It would totally destroyeverything that they've set out
to do.
They're taking in billions ofdollars from China and other
places.
They've left the tariffs on.
When I had it, I had tariffs,and yet I had no inflation.
Look, we've had a Terribleeconomy because inflation has
which is really known as acountry buster.
It breaks up countries We haveinflation like very few people
(05:45):
have ever seen before probablythe worst in our nation's
history We were at 21 But that'sbeing generous because many
things are 50 60 70 and 80percent higher than they were
just a few years ago This hasbeen a disaster for people for
the middle class, but for everyclass on top of that we have
Millions of people pouring intoour country from
Elly (06:07):
So, let's deal with this, uh, 80 percent increase that is
just a, a crock.
it started going up in hisadministration.
It spiked because some of histariffs and then there was price
gouging, there was more pricegouging during COVID.
after COVID There was more pricegouging for housing, for food.
And why did our food go up?
People think about this.
(06:29):
We produce our own Beef, pork,chicken, eggs, dairy, ice cream,
cheese.
We also plant tons of soybeanand corn and We export much of
our food.
California exports almost all ofthe nuts it produces and much of
(06:50):
the fruit and some of thevegetables.
We grow most of our own food.
Grains, beef, eggs, dairy, andmuch of our fruits and
vegetables.
so companies decided to gougeus.
they took advantage of it andgouged even more.
like I said, We grow most of ourown food.
When you talk about pirates andthe Panama Canal and the
(07:12):
Mississippi getting, jam piled,most of that's not food.
Our food is grown here.
for beef prices to get, jackedup during either presidency is
ridiculous.
It's even more ridiculous whenIt's COVID, some people weren't
working from home.
(07:33):
They just lost their jobs.
They couldn't eat, and they'rejacking up food prices like they
did because the top 40 percentcould work from home, or had
enough money to get by, or both,or had family, whatever.
The bottom 60%, some of themcould get by.
the bottom 40 percent werehaving a real tough time.
I'm talking SES.
We've got a lot of Humongouscompanies that monopolize our
(07:57):
food, our food industry, andthey gouge the heck out of us
for everything.
Some of these things are what wegrow here in America.
So there is absolutely no reasontalk about supply chain ships
are floating out in the harborin California and everything's
backed up in California and theMississippi and the Panama Canal
and there's still pirates, Inthe Red Sea, you can't talk
(08:19):
about that, especially whenyou're talking about food.
We grow a lot of our own food,This is ridiculous.
Don't believe it?
the multinationals, the bigcorporations, the Wall Street
corps, The lumber companies thatcontrol and monopolize the
lumber industry jacked up, theprices even after the 24 percent
(08:39):
tariff that Trump put on theCanadian lumber, our friends.
We need to do something aboutit.
DJ Trump (08:45):
prisons and jails from mental institutions and insane
asylums and they're coming inand they're taking jobs that are
occupied right now by AfricanAmericans and Hispanics and also
unions.
Unions are going to be affected
Elly (08:58):
Okay, African Americans and Hispanics.
There's an awful lot of whitepeople, Baby Don Don that work
in the factories and are unionworkers and what is this thing?
It's taking their jobs fromblacks and Mexicans.
What what is that?
as if all blacks and Mexicanswork in a factory Give me a
(09:19):
break, dude, you know, hedoesn't even know Statistically
how many people of color, whitepeople are In manufacturing, or
in any field for that matter.
He's an idiot.
I got the biggest words.
DJ Trump (09:37):
you see what's happening.
You see what's happening withtowns throughout the United
States.
You look at Springfield, Ohio.
You look at Aurora in Colorado.
They are taking over the towns.
They're taking over buildings.
They're going in violently.
These are the people.
That she and Biden led into ourcountry and they're destroying
our country.
(09:58):
They're dangerous.
They're at the highest level ofcriminality and we have to get
them out.
Elly (10:03):
There are criminals everywhere.
There's always been criminals inSpringfield and there's always
been criminals in Colorado andthat's just crazy.
And they're not coming in frominsane asylums and jails, any
more than they are coming infrom, some nice little village
somewhere in, in another part ofthe world.
(10:23):
Population is population.
You're going to get some badapples, certainly you are.
We have bad apples here.
There's bad apples that come in.
that happens.
what are we gonna do?
Put them on a mind melt machine?
Maybe we can call Spock up andsay, Hey Spock, can you do a
mind melt with everybody thatcomes through the border and we
can check out if they are, uh,you know, if they're bad or if
(10:44):
they're good.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Call Spock.
DJ Trump (10:50):
I created one of the greatest economies in the
history of our country.
I'll do it again and evenbetter.
Ethan (10:56):
Trump did not create the greatest economy.
Economic growth was negativeunder his administration; His
tax cuts helped the rich and bigcorporations.
Most Americans did not see a taxdecrease.
Trump promised us a fourthousand dollar raise as he
called it.
We never saw it.
However, some experienced andincrease in the taxes they owed.
Elly (11:20):
Unemployment was six point four percent.
Ethan (11:25):
Inflation was higher than his predecessor, Obama.
Further, inflation continued toclimb during his presidency due
to his policies, lack ofleadership and unwillingness to
play hard ball and make the bestdeals as he likes to boast.
Housing costs increased bytwenty seven percent pre
pandemic.
(11:45):
He had a net job loss of nearlythree million.
Biden Harris democrats gainednearly sixteen million jobs and
counting.
Trump lost one hundred seventyeight thousand manufacturing
jobs and twelve thousand andseven hundred coal mining jobs.
Jobs he promised to protect,jobs he said would not only
(12:05):
remain, but increase.
Supposedly this was the reasonfor the tarriffs.
But sweeping tarriffs hurtconsumers and the American
companies and importers.
They have to pay fees, followmore rules, hire more people to
deal with the red tape and soon.
The cost is passed down to theconsumer.
(12:25):
I agree that we shouldmanufacture high ticket items in
this country because companiesmake a higher profit margin on
these products and many paybetter and are unionized.
Low margin products just addmore environmental toxins to our
air water and soil, andgenerally do not generate good
paying jobs.
(12:45):
I might add, America shouldcontinue to grow and raise our
own food, but that is anothertopic we can discuss later.
Anyway, The democrats underBiden and Harris, gained nearly
one million manufacturing jobs,and as of this date nearly
sixteen million jobs overall.
(13:06):
much of which was due to theirInflation Reduction Act,
Infrastructure Bill, Chips Act,and clean energy investment.
Back to republican Trump and hisadministration.
Home prices surged under Trumptwenty seven percent before the
pandemic.
Initially because of hisCanadian lumber tarriff and
later because of marketquintopoly price gouging.
(13:29):
They claimed supply chain,covid, lack of workers and even
underestimating the market asreasons for the outrageous spike
in lumber prices.
But they never spoke about thehuge financial gains to the
companies, their stock and thosein charge.
Prices for lumber are still highas heck, even though the country
is back to normal.
(13:50):
Even though these giantcompanies own the biggest
saw-mills, lumber prices soaredfrom$349 per thousand board feet
in April 2020 to one thousand,five hundred and fourteen
dollars in May, according to thetrade journal Fastmarkets Random
Lengths.
In the summer of twenty twenyone, the composite price index
(14:12):
compiled by Random Lengths hastumbled by 50% to$770 per
thousand board feet.
So what gives?
Remember, by in large, that thehuge controlling companies do
not own the forests.
Timber prices from forestsbarely moved upward; however,
the forest owners, small,private saw-mill owners and
(14:35):
their employees did not reapthese gains.
Additionally, demand wasfalling, but prices still did
not drop for the consumer.
Yet the shareholders and leadersof the companies that buy, sell,
mill, distribute and control theindustry, keep stuffin their
pockets.
So, you see, I do not need falsereports from the media or
(14:57):
industry to know what has beenhappening.
In twenty twenty one, FederalReserve Chair Powell, quipped
that lumber price increases weretransitory and he blamed covid
for the hike which as I justexplained was a small part of
the price increases.
I wonder if Trump and his toppeople had stocks in these
companies, or owned forests tobe harvested, or stock-piled
(15:20):
lumber to sell?
Hmm Moving along, Trump's tradedeficit increased by thirty six
percent.
More people were uninsured andthe federal debt that we the
people pay for increased byfifty percent in less than four
years.
Big corporations, top CEO's andthe rich made bank.
(15:40):
Their wealth doubled evenquadrupled during Trumps
administration and covid.
Just as it did in the yearsbefore and after the two
thousand eight crash.
Trump's tax cuts, tarriffs, lackof leadership, covid, and
corporate price gouging andridiculous CEO pay, caused undo
suffering of the Americanpeople, yet paid for by the
(16:03):
American people, whilesimultaneously stuffing their
own silk-ligned pockets.
How rich do you have to be?
to be happy?
I know it's not that simple.
Because traded corporate sharesand profits must always go up,
this is what we are left with,and is one of the reasons why
monopolies, duopolies orquintopolies are very bad for
(16:26):
the consumer and small business.
The Next President of the (16:28):
Let's talk about what Donald Trump
left us.
Donald Trump left us the worstunemployment since the Great
Depression.
Donald Trump left us the worstpublic health.
Epidemic in a century.
Donald Trump left us the worstattack on our democracy.
Elly (16:49):
So, yeah, he, he attacked our democracy.
It's the worst attack becauseit's pretty much the only
attack.
then you look at the publichealth.
He really dropped the ball withCOVID.
And I don't want to go into ithere because I'll be here all
day, he dropped the ball onCOVID.
Go look at some of our, othershows and.
You'll find it.
He really dropped the ball andregarding the economy.
Yes.
The economy was down when he wasin office and he lost a bunch of
(17:13):
jobs and not just because ofCOVID
The Next President of the (17:16):
what we have done is clean up Donald
Trump's mess.
Elly (17:19):
Yeah, the Democrats always clean up the messes of the
Republicans, I wouldn't say it'sthe worst economy from the Civil
War, since Reagan, it, it wasreally bad.
Well, we had the crash of 08,that was really bad for a lot of
people for many years.
out in the country for 11, 12years people were suffering
because of the 08 crash.
And then of course Reagan, hisridiculous trickle down, make
(17:43):
America great.
that guy, he really screwedthings up too for a lot of
people.
Unemployment was 28 percent Inthe manufacturing regions for
the big three and all thesuppliers of the big three and
supporting peripheral companiesthat supported the big three or
fed or clothed the personnelthat work there, the people who
(18:05):
work there.
So yeah.
The Next President of the U (18:08):
And what I intend to do is build on
what we know are the aspirationsand the hopes of the American
people.
But I'm going to tell y'all onthis debate tonight, you're
going to hear.
From the same old tiredplaybook, a bunch of lies,
grievances, and name calling.
What you're going to heartonight is a detailed and
dangerous plan called Project2025 that the former president
(18:31):
intends on implementing if hewere elected again.
I believe very strongly That theAmerican people want a president
who understands the importanceof bringing us together knowing
we have so much more in commonthan what separates us.
And I pledge to you to be apresident for all Americans.
Elly (18:49):
That's great.
That's what we need.
And it is true that theRepublicans always, increase the
deficit.
increases the public debt.
Cuts programs and takes awayrights.
And this is how it's been for aslong as I can remember.
And it's, it got quite bad inthe Reagan years.
(19:10):
And, Bush, 2, it was quite bad.
They also deregulate.
There's always a recession, itseems.
or a depression.
I would call 08 a depression.
That was not a recession.
That was a depression.
Sorry.
Sorry, folks.
You know, if you have a good joband you're educated, you
probably didn't feel it as muchor you felt it for a little
(19:31):
while, maybe, but you still gotpaid or you work from home.
other people, were.
Losing their homes, starving, norunning water, no heat, no air
conditioning, and I know peoplelike that personally.
so to make my point, Democratsdo pull us out from the crap,
the deregulation, and highdeficits, and high debt.
(19:54):
Public debt and the crashing ofthe economy and the stripping of
rights, the stripping ofprograms for the poor or the
elderly or whoever, theDemocrats, always pull us out of
the crap that the Republicanshave done.
So, let's listen to some more.
(20:16):
I don't want to go off on atangent.
DJ Trump (20:18):
Number one, I have nothing to do, as you know, and
as she knows better than anyone,I have nothing to do with
Project 2025.
That's out there.
I haven't read it.
I don't want to read it,purposely.
Elly (20:28):
He gave speeches at the Heritage Foundation, Project
2025.
And a couple hundred people thatworked in his, cabinet And for
some agencies, et cetera, wereheritage people.
And some of the people that werereally close and advisors to him
were project 2025, supporters,or they wrote in it.
(20:52):
They've mentioned it.
Trump's name is mentioned in itmany times in the document
itself.
And, this is a bunch of craphe's saying.
Is he, is he old or insane?
I don't know.
Yeah, actually I do know.
He's a con man.
Baby Connie.
He's twisted and he's a con man.
DJ Trump (21:11):
This was a group of people that got together.
They came up with some ideas, Iguess, some good, some bad, but
it makes no difference.
I have nothing to do.
Everybody knows I'm an openbook.
Everybody knows what I'm goingto do.
Cut taxes very substantially andcreate a great economy.
Like I did before, we had thegreatest economy.
We got hit with a pandemic andthe pandemic was not since 1970.
Elly (21:33):
let's clear this thing up.
The pandemic, Trump had one yearof the pandemic.
Biden had two and a half yearsof the pandemic, two of which
were quite bad, 21 and 22.
Trump was president in 2020, oneyear of the pandemic.
And like I said, the worst timewas 21, 22 and and 20.
(21:54):
I mean, I'll give him that, butthere were two and a half years
because it officially ended in2023.
So yeah, he can't talk aboutthat excuse because, it just
doesn't fly if anyone thinksabout it The pandemic was one
year during his presidency andtwo and a half during Biden's.
And.
Worse yet, it was in the firstpart of Biden's presidency, not
(22:19):
in the latter part, so thatmakes it even worse, right?
It's even harder to get thingsdone when that's going on in the
first part of your presidency.
DJ Trump (22:30):
Where a hundred million people died.
Has there been anything like it?
We did a phenomenal job with thepandemic.
We handed them over a countrywhere the economy and where the
stock market was higher than itwas before the pandemic came in.
Nobody's ever seen anything likeit.
Elly (22:48):
I don't have the current stats and I don't have the stats
after the stats, which is thepeople who died from
complications after COVID.
Ethan (22:55):
There were not one hundred million covid deaths.
Worlwide, in the first 2 years,confirmed cases were around 5
million, but greatlyundereported.
Calculating excess mortality,the WHO wrote in twenty twenty
two, that the number then wasapproximately fifteen million.
Many countries now are reportingcovid as respiratory disease.
(23:17):
Three hundred to one thousandpeople die each week from covid
19 in the UNited States.
In America, there were severalhundred thousand deaths in
twenty twenty.
By fall of twenty twenty therewere over seven million
confirmed covid 19 cases.
Cases not deaths.
As time clicked by, cases anddeaths skyrocketed and kept
(23:40):
climbing, Trump still did nottake the health of the nation
seriously he wanted to allowmass sports events to carry on,
and repeatedly denouncedscientists, social distancing
and wearing a mask.
He told us the virus was slowingdown and that we are defeating
the China virus, that wearing amask is a choice.
(24:02):
That only old people and sickpeople are vulnerable.
Well then that settles it.
If it's just old and sick peoplethat die, who cares, What an
unsympathetic, narcissistic,sociopath.
In nearly 3 years, Covidnineteen killed over one million
Americans by twenty twenty two,and people continue to die from
(24:24):
it every day.
Deaths from heart, lung or othercomplications from covid are not
tabulated.
he just talked about the stockmarket.
Yeah.
The stock market went up and itsoared during Biden.
It went way up.
It just crushed Trump.
so I don't even know why he'smentioned in stock market
because he's got poop on hisface.
Dumb dumb.
DJ Trump (24:44):
We made ventilators for the entire world.
We got gowns.
We got masks.
We did things.
Elly (24:50):
no, he didn't.
He didn't put that into effectto make companies, manufacture
those or to pay companies tomanufacture gowns and
ventilators, et cetera.
As a matter of fact, he senttons of ventilators and masks
and other supplies to China.
Yeah, China of all places,during the pandemic and we
(25:14):
needed those, we needed all ofthose.
And he also moved the storageout from the CDC to Washington,
DC.
I don't know what funny stuff isgoing on there, but from the
first time ever it was movedfrom the warehouse of the CDC to
DC.
maybe we should look at that alittle closer.
Anyway, yeah, so China got abunch of, uh, our ventilators
(25:38):
and stuff.
Unbelievable.
He, he's got poop on his faceagain.
DJ Trump (25:43):
That nobody thought possible and people give me
credit for rebuilding themilitary.
They give me credit for a lot ofthings, but not enough credit
for the great job we did withthe pandemic.
But the only jobs they got werebounce back jobs.
These were jobs bounce back andit bounced back and it went to
their benefit.
I was the one that created them.
They know it.
And so does everybody else.
Ethan (26:03):
Bounce back jobs?
Don't make me laugh.
NOW, Let me reiterate, Trumplost three million jobs Biden
Harris produced nearly sixteenmillion jobs and counting.
We'll place the pacifier in themouth of this infinitesimal
gutter snipe, they call TheDonald, We deduct Donalds three
(26:24):
million in losses and take themfrom the Democrats.
Biden Harris democrats produced13 million jobs compared to Mad
Baby Don Don's three million injob losses., Happy Now Donald?
The Next President of the U. (26:38):
So Donald Trump has no plan for
you.
Elly (26:43):
In reality, let's look at this.
the jobs, unemployment was 6.
4 percent during Trump andunemployment for Biden was 3.
7, and that was a few monthsago, I think January, yes,
January.
And the most recent was just acouple of weeks old is 4.
1%.
(27:04):
So, Here we go.
Donald, is relying on, hisfollowers to be little drooling
idiots.
Ethan (27:13):
Another factor to consider is that when Trump took
office, the federal funds ratewas zero point six six, when he
left it was zero point zeroeight percent.
Almost zero.
However, when Biden Harrisdemocrats took office, the
independent federal reserve hadno mercy for Americans
(27:34):
struggling out of the pandemic.
and swiftly raised the rates toover five percent.
As you know high interest rateslose jobs and dampen the economy
for the working class, anddecrease purchases, especially
large purchases.
But even with this handicap, thedemocrats jobs scorecard buried
(27:54):
the Trump administration.
Today, September eighteenthtwenty twenty four, the federal
reserve lowered rates after atwenty three year high.
by half a point.
Mad Baby DJ cried out loud thatthe rate cut was to help the
democrats, but Mad Baby, we haveless than two months before the
(28:15):
election.
If this was partisan in favor ofthe democrats, the independently
managed federal reserve wouldnever have given you such low
rates, and swiftly skyrocket therates during the democratic
administration.
I want to see your Whartontranscripts.
Really.
another thing, he lost 12, 700coal mining jobs.
(28:38):
Yeah.
12, 700 coal mining jobs.
And he was going to save coalmining jobs.
Remember?
I got me an uncle that's coalminer And he was going to save
manufacturing jobs.
Remember that?
he was negative 178, 000manufacturing jobs and don't say
(28:58):
it's COVID because like I said,Biden had two and a half years
of COVID, not one.
Trump's tax plan benefited thebig corporations and the rich
and their income went upsubstantially during the
pandemic yet.
And you know, there we go.
Price gouging.
(29:21):
We have to change some of therules because we cannot allow
corporations to gouge us forthings we need.
And I'm talking about
Elly (29:29):
nutritional, non-toxic food, clean water.
Reliable.
Affordable products.
Reliable.
Affordable electricity.
Affordable.
Wi Fi.
Even out in the country.
Good paying jobs.
Solid, good paying jobs withbenefits.
Ethan (29:51):
I would like to add affordable homes, home
mortgages, and affordable andreliable vehicles.
Sorry to have interupted youElly, continue speaking about
corporations price gouging ourneeds.
I'm talking about everything wehave to have.
power, right?
We have to have power in today'ssociety.
(30:12):
Our homes aren't set up for offgrid, and even if they were,
disabled people and elderlypeople are gonna have a real
hard time with that.
So that's just ridiculous.
And like I said, Trump increasedthe federal debt and the trade
deficit.
And as I said, Trump increasedthe debt substantially in only
(30:33):
four years.
And the trade deficit went up,36.
3%.
Federal debt went up 50%.
home prices went up 27.
5 percent under Trump I rememberhis tariff was 24.
So the monopolies price gougingon top of that and it continued
(30:54):
throughout the pandemic Anyway,let's get, back to the debate.
The Next President of the U (30:59):
You look at his economic plan, it's
all about tax breaks for therichest people.
I am offering what I describe asan opportunity economy, and the
best economists in our country,if not the world, have reviewed
our relative plans for thefuture of America.
What Goldman Sachs has said isthat Donald Trump's plan would
(31:20):
make the economy worse.
Mine would strengthen theeconomy.
What the Wharton School has saidis Donald Trump's plan would
actually explode the deficit.
16 Nobel laureates havedescribed his economic plan as
something that would increaseinflation and by the middle of
next year would invite arecession.
(31:40):
You just have to look at wherewe are and where we stand on the
issues.
And I'd invite you to know thatDonald Trump actually has no
plan for you because he is moreinterested in defending himself.
Elly (31:52):
He's a con man.
The Next President of the U (31:53):
And he isn't looking out for you.
Okay, we're
Elly (31:57):
gonna end it here.
This is part one of the firstdebate.
VP Harris and, Baby DonDon.
Oh, I'm sorry, former presidentDonald J.
Trump.
Anyway, I'm going to wrap thisup.
This is part one.
I'm going to do a series, a miniseries of the debate and give

And also people, we need to payattention to things.
And we gotta stop being,divided.
We have to look at thingslogically.
Where is the problem?
We have to vote all the way downthe ticket.
We have to vote for Kamala andTim and Democrats down the
(33:03):
ticket, For a better economy,for a better safety net, for our
social security, for our healthcare, abortion rights, civil
rights.
we need to vote Democrat.
We need to stay away from thereligious right, the Heritage
Foundation, the FederalistSociety.
(33:26):
con men like Donald J.
Trump, he is a con man, and ifyou listen to some of the stuff
on our podcast, over time youwill get all the information.
About what he has done prior tohis presidency, not just during
or after.
The things he did before--hisswindling his bad behavior, his
(33:48):
ripping people off.
he's not a multibillionaire.
Like I said, in many of ourpodcasts, if the man was to
liquidate, he probably is in thered.
Meaning, he doesn't have liquidassets.
He's probably got a few millstashed aside somewhere, but
he's not a billionaire.
he's not.
(34:09):
He may have a billion in assets,but he's underwater.
He's in debt.
He's an OPM person, otherpeople's money.
That's what he does.
That's what a lot of rich peopledo, and they don't have as much
money as they say.
Trump couldn't pay 350 millionfor his and his company's fraud
And listen to this, noregistered bail bondsman would
(34:31):
grant him the money.
He's broke.
That's why they didn't grant himthe money.
Finally, the court felt sorryfor him and reduced it to some
ridiculous amount.
It would think it was around 150million and I don't think he's
paid that either.
And of course he didn't payCarol yet.
And, oh boy, oh boy.
(34:51):
If this were you and I, we'd bein jail.
His so called billions are tiedup in truth social, and we know
how that goes.
Right.
He was in the hole coming intothe presidency.
he and his family have madeloads of money during his
presidency selling goods,committing wire fraud, deals
(35:13):
with foreign dignitaries.
making money with foreigndignitaries and providing deals
for them and jobs for his familyand filling his hotels, office
suites and golf courses and Mara Lago with foreign and domestic
politicians, the Republicans,businessmen and women, foreign
and domestic lobbyists, SecretService Agents, RNC, despite the
(35:39):
emoluments clause of theConstitution of the United
States of America, So let's cutthe crap and let's really look
at what's best for our countryand the future of our country.
so far there is nearly a 16million jobs gain and counting
Thanks to the Democrats, andmanufacturing jobs increased by
(36:04):
