Buck Sexton is joined by Karoline Leavitt, National Press Secretary for the Trump 2024 campaign, to discuss the final 13 days leading up to Election Day. Leavitt shares insights on the Trump campaign’s confidence, polling data, and strategy, particularly in battleground states like Pennsylvania. They explore the Democrats' last-ditch attempts to label Trump a "fascist" and how President Trump’s appeal to key demographics—such as black and Hispanic voters—continues to grow. Leavitt also touches on Trump's inroads with male voters, Arab-American voters, and the GOP's focus on Pennsylvania.

Buck Brief.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Caroline Levitt is with us now national Press Secretary for
the Trump twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It is the moment of truth coming up here with
election day.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
She's super busy, She's given us some of her time
to dive into this. Caroline, I'll just let you take
it and set the stage for us. How are you
feeling with like twelve thirteen days to go?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, that's right, thirteen days away from the big day,
and we are incredibly confident. We feel really good here
at Team Trump headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our
internal data shows the same as you see in the
public polling, President Trump leading in every single battleground state,
cutting into the Democrats base with black voters, Hispanic voters,
(01:05):
young people, making huge inroads with these key demographics to
the Democrat party success. So we feel incredibly confident we're
going to win this thing. But we are not taking
a single second for granted. President Trump himself is barnstorming
the country and state after state, day after day, holding
multiple events a day, running laps around Kamala Harris on
the campaign trail, and we're not going to slow down.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
We're going to run through the tape.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What do you make of the last ditch effort here?
And it's also a repetition of what we've seen in
previous election cycles when they're trying to get people to
believe this.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That Trump is a fascist thing. I mean, this is like.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Front page New York Times, Atlantic is getting in on this,
Joe Biden saying that Tom was now coming out and
saying it is his desperation. I mean, what polling do
they look at? Where they think if we say that
Trump is hit, that we're going to win this thing.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It's Groundhog Day, buck. And it's not based on polling.
It's the Democrat Party's instincts. They have become the anti
Trump party and they don't stand for anything. They just
stand against Donald Trump. And when Kamala Harris began her campaign,
when the coup was finished of Joe Biden and Kamala
Hanon and Harris took the mantle, she began her race
(02:17):
as the candidate of joy, the candidate of change, the future,
that was her message. She was trying to unveil policy,
but she got ridiculed for everything she.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Said on it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So now she's resorting back to her instinct, which is
spewing these baseless lies, this divisive political rhetoric about Donald Trump,
and it hasn't worked. The Democrats have been saying this
now for eight years, and President Trump is more popular
today than he ever has been since twenty sixteen. People
view his presidency as a major success now that they've
(02:48):
had a few years under Kamala Harris's vice presidency and
realizing what a failure she has been.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
So these tactics are the only thing they have.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
They're throwing it out the wall to see what will
stick because they don't have real policy or real results
to run on.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Were you, I mean to take us a little bit
in the inside of the campaign here, if you would
have you with the team the Trump campaign team? Were
you a little surprised initially when it was very clear
that the plan was to just not have Kamala Harris
do you interviews and stuff. Was there an expectation that
that might be the playbook or you know, just I'm
(03:24):
wondering how this has evolved as this has moved on
because now obviously she's oh my gosh, I actually have
to do media because I'm losing.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Well, she's saying that now because I will credit President
Trump in our campaign for putting pressure on her. There
was a pressure campaign purposefully from our side to force
kamalain too sitting down for interviews because we know what
a disaster she is every time she opens her mouth,
and that has proven to be true.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Her Fox News interview with Brett bare was a train wreck.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Last night, she was on NBC still refusing to answer
the question of what she will do differently than Joe Biden.
And in these interviews, she's made it very clear that
her presidency would be a continuation.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Of the past four years.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
She shows that she's incompetent and ill equipped to serve
as the leader of the free world. So we encourage
Kamala Harris doing all of the interviews that she possibly
can in the next thirteen days, because every time she does,
I think President Trump's pull numbers go up just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I want to ask you where we can expect there
to be a particular focus and get your sense of
how things are shaking out right now in some of
the battleground states Caroline in just one second. But you
know our sponsor here is in the world of finance.
I loved learning about finance. I came across a Wall
Street legend with a fascinating warning November eighth. He says,
(04:43):
is going to open the biggest rapid fire money making
opportunity of his fifty year career. In short, there's a
disconnect in the stock market that has opened a way
to spot potential buying spreeze on five thousand different stocks
before they occur, and it could double your portfolio, according
to this expert. Now, look, this is a guy who
recommended an AI stock ten years ago that would have
(05:03):
made you incredible returns if you had bought and held.
He also invented an index used in the stock market
day to day back in the eighties that directs billions
of dollars of Wall Street finance good to stocks twenty
twenty five dot com for details on what this stock
guru has to tell you. He's agreed to share it
with you for free, but you have to go register
(05:26):
stocks twenty twenty five dot com. That website is stocks
twenty five dot com. Is it really all about Pennsylvania.
I was gonna take it through a few battlegrounds, But
is it your feeling that based on where Trump is
in the different states, and this is obviously gonna have
huge down ballot implications if Trump wins PA, are you
pretty much cracking the champagne at Trump headquarters?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Look, the road back to the White House runs right
through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There's no doubt about it.
It's why President Trump has been spending a lot of
time there. He will continue to between now and November fifth.
And we're seeing very encouraging signs come out of Pennsylvania
with the early voting. In fact, we are out registering
voters in Pennsylvania right now to one. We've made a
(06:12):
real tangible effort on the ground there to reach low
propensity voters. You know, Pennsylvanians who may not be political,
haven't voted in past election cycles, but they have common
sense and they like President Trump, and they like a
secure border. They want law enforcement in their communities to
be supported, not defunded like Kamala Harris wants to do.
They're hurt by the inflation crisis. Kamala Harris has created,
(06:34):
so our message to them is Kamala Harris created these problems.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
President Trump is going to fix them. And we have
been on the ground in.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Pennsylvania for months with gorilla marketing tactics, digital advertising, paid television,
paid radio, calling people, door knocking. You really focusing on
registering new voters and getting them out to vote. And
we're seeing that strategy is paying off with the signs
we've seen out of early voting.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
But again, we're not getting complacent.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
President Trump will be back in Pennsylvania before election Day,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I don't know if you saw this particular poll. I
know you're probably just grounding and polling day to these
days at Trump campaign headquarters with Caroline Levitt, of course,
he's the national press secretary for the Trump campaign. But
it out of Michigan, and it was it was a
legit polling company, and it wasn't one of these kind of,
eh whatever polling companies. I can't remember who it was,
but I remember thinking, oh, wow, it's a real poll
(07:24):
that Trump may win Muslim American voters.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
In Michigan this cycle. What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
There's actually been quite a few polls to suggest that
President Trump is leading with Arab American voters in Michigan
and also nationwide. And there has also been a real
effort from our campaign and some of our allies to reach.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Out to this community.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No Republican really ever has to be honest with you,
especially not in the last few decades. And President Trump
is making a real effort to reach out to this
community and to say, look, we may not agree on everything,
but what we do agree on is we want peace
around the world, and I will respect your religious freedom
like I did in my first term.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
That's President Trump's message, and it's resonating.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
We're seeing it's working, and Arab Americans, just like Jewish Americans,
are upset over the conflict we've seen in Israel and
in Gaza, and President Trump, like he was in his
first term, is offering to be a peacemaker in chief
for both sides, to bring peace to the world for
all people, regardless of faith. And that's a very appealing message.
(08:33):
While all these voters may not vote for President Trump,
they certainly we know will not be voting for Kamala Harris,
who has been a disaster on the world stage for
both Arab Americans, Jewish Americans, and all Americans, regardless of
race or religion.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Is there a state or two where and you know,
maybe just speaking for your own analysis, right, I don't
want you, I don't want to put you in a
position where what the campaign thinks, but necessarily, but is
there a state or two that you feel like isn't
really on the radar of a lot of the media
these days that are following the election, right which we're
in the absolute think of it right now, less than
(09:08):
two weeks away. Well, where you think that Trump and
the Republicans down ballot will make it closer than expected
and maybe even pull off a surprise win. You?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
If so, where would that be, Like? Do you see Virginia?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Is there any place that you're thinking we might be
able to pull off an upset.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Well, I'm a little biased in this answer, but I
would say in my home state of New Hampshire. So
Joe Biden was campaigning there yesterday, Kamala Harris was there
several weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Kamala Harris has actually allocated.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Resources to buy media in the Boston television market, which
is incredibly expensive. No campaign would do that unless they
were worried about their chances. So I think President Trump
has a real chance at winning the Granite State. I'm
certainly making sure all of my friends and family up
there get out to vote for him, And just to
speaking with people on the ground anecdotally, I will tell
you they're very turned off by Kamala Harris, very dissatisfied
(10:01):
with her policies over the past four years. You know,
New Hampshire is the live free or die state, big
Second Amendment culturehere. You know, Kamala Harris wants to come
into our homes and co escape our guns. We have
a friendly business culture, low taxes, no income tax, no
sales tax. Kamla Harris is the tax queen. So she
certainly does not align with the values of my home state.
And I would be very joyous to see it flip
(10:24):
read and I think there's a real possibility of that.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I can see that too.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's a great call, that would be really icing on
the cake of a Trump victory to bring the Granite
State into the mix. Our sponsor here is Birch Gold.
You know, with the massive tax hikes proposed by the
Vice president almost forty percent top income tax rate, seven
percent increase to the corporate tax, forty percent, capital gains
tax on unrealized or rather a capital gains tax on
(10:48):
unrealized gains whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Taxes, folks, it's all you need to know. Tax is
coming around all over the place. He just mentioned. Kammala
is the taxation queen. She wants to take more of
your money, more of your businesses money, and she wants
to spend a lot of money too. And that's a
huge problem because we've got a huge debt that is
piling up, and she's at she might add two trillion
dollars to that deficit, that yearly shortfall that we've got.
(11:13):
So you want to take action today to try to
make things more safe of the long term for your savings.
Diversifying to gold, the Birch Gold Group can help you.
Birch Gold will assist you in converting an existing iray
or four to one k into an ira in gold.
The best news you don't have to pay a penny
out of pocket. They can also sell you actual physical gold.
You can hold and keep it home like I do.

I've got gold, I've got silver. All you have to
do is text the word buck my name to ninety
eight ninety eight ninety eight get a free INFOKD on
gold or a lot of people that transferring of an
existing IRA or four one K maybe even one that
you don't you haven't even allocated, you know, you don't
know worry putting the funds gold over long term. Take
a look at a chart of gold text buck to
ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight for your free infokid today,
(11:57):
Birch Gold group.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's who I go with.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
All right, Caroline, so you are I'm sure watching part
of the meltdown that Democrats are having.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I know the election is not over yet. We got
to focus, We got to know, push through the tape
until the victory is assured. But they're freaking out because
of the gender deficit. I don't know if we call
it that gender gap, not the pay gap, but the
gap between Democrats and Republicans on men and women and
who they're voting for. Trump is absolutely dominating Kama on
the Democrats on the issue of male voters and is
(12:31):
making inroads with black male voters, Hispanic mail voters. Where
is that coming from? Like, if you had to focus
in on why is it that this particular election cycle
looks so weak when it comes to men, For Democrats.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Why is that, Well, I think men are fed up
with the policies of the last four years. Frankly, all
Americans are. Men want a strong military. We've seen our
military weekend over the past four years. Men don't want
to be drafted into a war and having to go overseas.
That's becoming all the more likely in Kamala Harris's America.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Men want strong word security.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Men want more money in their pockets, frankly, and look
at the inflation crisis that is robbing men and women
in all American families of their paychecks every single week.
I also think men are very turned off by some
of the woke crap that we've seen the Democrat Party pushing,
like men in women's sports and teaching children about race
and sex and gender. I think there's also been you know,
(13:28):
the radical feminists in the Democrat Party have kind of
been pitiful towards men, white men in particular in this country,
and I think that's been a real turn off for
them seeing.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
That take place over the last several years.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So I also think, you know, President Trump himself has
been a businessman for many decades. Men in this country
have looked up to him, have known him when he
was a celebrity prior to entering.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
The political arena. You know, he's a sports.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Guy, he's funny, he's a guys guy. And I think
that really resonates with men across the country. And I'm
glad you asked this question, Buck, because the media likes
to talk about the alleged gender gap with President Trump
and women, and the real story is the massive gap
that Kamala Harris is facing with men across this great country.
And we're very confident they're going to turn out and
(14:18):
record numbers to vote for President Trump on November fifth.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I don't know if you saw. This was a topic
that came up when I was on Bill Mahers show recently,
Carolyn and And it's funny because they look at me,
They're like, I mean, why does Trump do so well
with with with men?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
What about Trump is masculine? And I was like, I
don't know. Being a billionaire married to like an.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
International lingerie model who's been president and has like a big,
beautiful family that loves him and plays a lot of
golf and makes funny jokes like it was it was
like talking to people who live in another universe, you know,
really and then they go why do you know? People
are asking me why do they think Tim Walls isn't masculine?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm like, have you seen Tim Walls?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I mean he kind of runs around on stage like
a buffoon.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Maybe, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean I'm waiting for Tim Wallas to just pull
out jazz hands at any moment.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
You know, just sort of show everybody he's a weird guy.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So the masculinity deficit is very real in the last
in the last stages here, I mean, what's it like
to be in the campaign day in and day out?
Is does it feel more intense or is it just
as the same as it has been all along? You
know what I'm saying, Like, is it just you're showing
up doing the work every day? Or with each passing
day now, is it feeling more like, oh my gosh,
(15:27):
this is happening. The votes are already coming in.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I've been at this since January now, and every day
you're going at one hundred miles an hour. We have
such a hard working boss in President Trump, who literally
works twenty four to seven, hardly sleeps, and so the
entire campaign is expected to keep up at that same pace,
and we have a fantastic team, hundreds of people, many
of whom you don't see on television, but they're working
(15:53):
very hard behind the scenes to re elect President Trump,
and there's great camaraderie here. Certainly it has intensified over
the past I would say a few weeks, and now
heading into the final sprint. We work literally seven days
a week out of the office in Palm Beach. There
are zero days off at this point and hasn't been
for quite some times. But we're trying to keep up
with President Trump, who has more energy than anyone I
(16:15):
have ever met, in a harder work ethic than anyone
in American politics. And truthfully, it's very inspiring to work
for someone who works so hard and doesn't even question it.
It's just who he is, even in the face of
such adversity that he's faced throughout the entirety of this campaign,
through political witch hunts, sitting in a courtroom for weeks
(16:37):
on him because of Democrat prosecutors, two attempts on his
life where he nearly lost his life, and the man
still wakes up every day working eighteen twenty hour days
to fight for this country and That's the type of
leader I want in the president of the United States,
not someone like Kamala Harris who takes days off as
she did yesterday without a single campaign event.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It is astonishing when you think you raise this, how
little of the media has talked about, not just two
assassination attempts in a general I mean a bullet that
graised the president's goal. It was so close to, you know,
the worst national tragedy in any kind of a political
(17:18):
election or political sense that we would have suffered in
a very long time. And yet the Trump campaign, despite
the actual threats against him, very close to taking his life.
There's the sense of his joy and optimism and fun.
I know the Kamala campaign wanted it. Joy was a
word that you're hearing a lot. Trump's out there passing
fries to people and you know, having a good time.
(17:40):
I know he doesn't actually work at McDonald's. That was
the big fact check they were doing. It's like, well,
I think we know that, but there's incredible I think
you know, you and the team, I know you guys
probably feel this, but maybe it's good to hear it
from outsiders. The whole Trump campaign just feels so positive,
and especially given what you guys have all been through
(18:00):
with the President's been through, it feels almost like a miracle.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I would say, so yeah. I mean, we'll see how
it works out on November fifth.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
But certainly we have witnessed a lot of adversity, and
I think President Trump's life was most definitely spared by
a higher power on July thirteenth in Butler, Pennsylvania, where
a bullet came within millimeters of taking his life and
God willing, Thank you God for not allowing that to happen.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
And we're just so grateful he's here. And again it's
inspiring to be.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Part of Carolyn Levitt doing a great job as the
national Press secretary for the Trump twenty twenty four campaign.
Some of us thought she was going to be a
big deal long time ago, back she's running for Congress
and just saying it, some of us, Clay and I.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Are both like, she's going to be a big gonna
be a big deal, Probably gonna be a big deal.
And here we are.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Congrats to you all the hard work. And where you're
gonna be at mar Alago election night, You're gonna be
West Palm.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Where are you going to be.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yet to be seen where we're going to be, but
we will be somewhere, and it's going to be big
and beautiful, bucked.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Big, beautiful election night, the best, the best election night ever,
the best people.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Great to see you, Carolyn, Thanks for being with us,
you too, back.

Front page New York Times, Atlantic is getting in on this,
Joe Biden saying that Tom was now coming out and
saying it is his desperation. I mean, what polling do

I loved learning about finance. I came across a Wall
Street legend with a fascinating warning November eighth. He says,
(04:43):
is going to open the biggest rapid fire money making
opportunity of his fifty year career. In short, there's a
disconnect in the stock market that has opened a way
to spot potential buying spreeze on five thousand different stocks
before they occur, and it could double your portfolio, according
to this expert. Now, look, this is a guy who
recommended an AI stock ten years ago that would have
(05:03):
made you incredible returns if you had bought and held.
He also invented an index used in the stock market
day to day back in the eighties that directs billions
of dollars of Wall Street finance good to stocks twenty
twenty five dot com for details on what this stock
guru has to tell you. He's agreed to share it
with you for free, but you have to go register
(05:26):
stocks twenty twenty five dot com. That website is stocks
twenty five dot com. Is it really all about Pennsylvania.
I was gonna take it through a few battlegrounds, But
is it your feeling that based on where Trump is
in the different states, and this is obviously gonna have
huge down ballot implications if Trump wins PA, are you
pretty much cracking the champagne at Trump headquarters?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Look, the road back to the White House runs right
through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There's no doubt about it.
It's why President Trump has been spending a lot of
time there. He will continue to between now and November fifth.
And we're seeing very encouraging signs come out of Pennsylvania
with the early voting. In fact, we are out registering
voters in Pennsylvania right now to one. We've made a
(06:12):
real tangible effort on the ground there to reach low
propensity voters. You know, Pennsylvanians who may not be political,
haven't voted in past election cycles, but they have common
sense and they like President Trump, and they like a
secure border. They want law enforcement in their communities to
be supported, not defunded like Kamala Harris wants to do.
They're hurt by the inflation crisis. Kamala Harris has created,
(06:34):
so our message to them is Kamala Harris created these problems.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
President Trump is going to fix them. And we have
been on the ground in.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Pennsylvania for months with gorilla marketing tactics, digital advertising, paid television,
paid radio, calling people, door knocking. You really focusing on
registering new voters and getting them out to vote. And
we're seeing that strategy is paying off with the signs
we've seen out of early voting.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
But again, we're not getting complacent.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
President Trump will be back in Pennsylvania before election Day,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I don't know if you saw this particular poll. I
know you're probably just grounding and polling day to these
days at Trump campaign headquarters with Caroline Levitt, of course,
he's the national press secretary for the Trump campaign. But
it out of Michigan, and it was it was a
legit polling company, and it wasn't one of these kind of,
eh whatever polling companies. I can't remember who it was,
but I remember thinking, oh, wow, it's a real poll
(07:24):
that Trump may win Muslim American voters.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
In Michigan this cycle. What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
There's actually been quite a few polls to suggest that
President Trump is leading with Arab American voters in Michigan
and also nationwide. And there has also been a real
effort from our campaign and some of our allies to reach.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Out to this community.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No Republican really ever has to be honest with you,
especially not in the last few decades. And President Trump
is making a real effort to reach out to this
community and to say, look, we may not agree on everything,
but what we do agree on is we want peace
around the world, and I will respect your religious freedom
like I did in my first term.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
That's President Trump's message, and it's resonating.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
We're seeing it's working, and Arab Americans, just like Jewish Americans,
are upset over the conflict we've seen in Israel and
in Gaza, and President Trump, like he was in his
first term, is offering to be a peacemaker in chief
for both sides, to bring peace to the world for
all people, regardless of faith. And that's a very appealing message.
(08:33):
While all these voters may not vote for President Trump,
they certainly we know will not be voting for Kamala Harris,
who has been a disaster on the world stage for
both Arab Americans, Jewish Americans, and all Americans, regardless of
race or religion.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Is there a state or two where and you know,
maybe just speaking for your own analysis, right, I don't
want you, I don't want to put you in a
position where what the campaign thinks, but necessarily, but is
there a state or two that you feel like isn't
really on the radar of a lot of the media
these days that are following the election, right which we're
in the absolute think of it right now, less than
(09:08):
two weeks away. Well, where you think that Trump and
the Republicans down ballot will make it closer than expected
and maybe even pull off a surprise win. You?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
If so, where would that be, Like? Do you see Virginia?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Is there any place that you're thinking we might be
able to pull off an upset.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Well, I'm a little biased in this answer, but I
would say in my home state of New Hampshire. So
Joe Biden was campaigning there yesterday, Kamala Harris was there
several weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Kamala Harris has actually allocated.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Resources to buy media in the Boston television market, which
is incredibly expensive. No campaign would do that unless they
were worried about their chances. So I think President Trump
has a real chance at winning the Granite State. I'm
certainly making sure all of my friends and family up
there get out to vote for him, And just to
speaking with people on the ground anecdotally, I will tell
you they're very turned off by Kamala Harris, very dissatisfied
(10:01):
with her policies over the past four years. You know,
New Hampshire is the live free or die state, big
Second Amendment culturehere. You know, Kamala Harris wants to come
into our homes and co escape our guns. We have
a friendly business culture, low taxes, no income tax, no
sales tax. Kamla Harris is the tax queen. So she
certainly does not align with the values of my home state.
And I would be very joyous to see it flip
(10:24):
read and I think there's a real possibility of that.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I can see that too.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's a great call, that would be really icing on
the cake of a Trump victory to bring the Granite
State into the mix. Our sponsor here is Birch Gold.
You know, with the massive tax hikes proposed by the
Vice president almost forty percent top income tax rate, seven
percent increase to the corporate tax, forty percent, capital gains
tax on unrealized or rather a capital gains tax on
(10:48):
unrealized gains whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Taxes, folks, it's all you need to know. Tax is
coming around all over the place. He just mentioned. Kammala
is the taxation queen. She wants to take more of
your money, more of your businesses money, and she wants
to spend a lot of money too. And that's a
huge problem because we've got a huge debt that is
piling up, and she's at she might add two trillion
dollars to that deficit, that yearly shortfall that we've got.

(11:57):
Birch Gold group.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's who I go with.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
All right, Caroline, so you are I'm sure watching part
of the meltdown that Democrats are having.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I know the election is not over yet. We got
to focus, We got to know, push through the tape
until the victory is assured. But they're freaking out because
of the gender deficit. I don't know if we call
it that gender gap, not the pay gap, but the
gap between Democrats and Republicans on men and women and
who they're voting for. Trump is absolutely dominating Kama on
the Democrats on the issue of male voters and is
(12:31):
making inroads with black male voters, Hispanic mail voters. Where
is that coming from? Like, if you had to focus
in on why is it that this particular election cycle
looks so weak when it comes to men, For Democrats.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Why is that, Well, I think men are fed up
with the policies of the last four years. Frankly, all
Americans are. Men want a strong military. We've seen our
military weekend over the past four years. Men don't want
to be drafted into a war and having to go overseas.
That's becoming all the more likely in Kamala Harris's America.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Men want strong word security.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Men want more money in their pockets, frankly, and look
at the inflation crisis that is robbing men and women
in all American families of their paychecks every single week.
I also think men are very turned off by some
of the woke crap that we've seen the Democrat Party pushing,
like men in women's sports and teaching children about race
and sex and gender. I think there's also been you know,
(13:28):
the radical feminists in the Democrat Party have kind of
been pitiful towards men, white men in particular in this country,
and I think that's been a real turn off for
them seeing.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
That take place over the last several years.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So I also think, you know, President Trump himself has
been a businessman for many decades. Men in this country
have looked up to him, have known him when he
was a celebrity prior to entering.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
The political arena. You know, he's a sports.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Guy, he's funny, he's a guys guy. And I think
that really resonates with men across the country. And I'm
glad you asked this question, Buck, because the media likes
to talk about the alleged gender gap with President Trump
and women, and the real story is the massive gap
that Kamala Harris is facing with men across this great country.
And we're very confident they're going to turn out and
(14:18):
record numbers to vote for President Trump on November fifth.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I don't know if you saw. This was a topic
that came up when I was on Bill Mahers show recently,
Carolyn and And it's funny because they look at me,
They're like, I mean, why does Trump do so well
with with with men?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
What about Trump is masculine? And I was like, I
don't know. Being a billionaire married to like an.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
International lingerie model who's been president and has like a big,
beautiful family that loves him and plays a lot of
golf and makes funny jokes like it was it was
like talking to people who live in another universe, you know,
really and then they go why do you know? People
are asking me why do they think Tim Walls isn't masculine?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm like, have you seen Tim Walls?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I mean he kind of runs around on stage like
a buffoon.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Maybe, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean I'm waiting for Tim Wallas to just pull
out jazz hands at any moment.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
You know, just sort of show everybody he's a weird guy.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So the masculinity deficit is very real in the last
in the last stages here, I mean, what's it like
to be in the campaign day in and day out?
Is does it feel more intense or is it just
as the same as it has been all along? You
know what I'm saying, Like, is it just you're showing
up doing the work every day? Or with each passing
day now, is it feeling more like, oh my gosh,
(15:27):
this is happening. The votes are already coming in.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I've been at this since January now, and every day
you're going at one hundred miles an hour. We have
such a hard working boss in President Trump, who literally
works twenty four to seven, hardly sleeps, and so the
entire campaign is expected to keep up at that same pace,
and we have a fantastic team, hundreds of people, many
of whom you don't see on television, but they're working
(15:53):
very hard behind the scenes to re elect President Trump,
and there's great camaraderie here. Certainly it has intensified over
the past I would say a few weeks, and now
heading into the final sprint. We work literally seven days
a week out of the office in Palm Beach. There
are zero days off at this point and hasn't been
for quite some times. But we're trying to keep up
with President Trump, who has more energy than anyone I
(16:15):
have ever met, in a harder work ethic than anyone
in American politics. And truthfully, it's very inspiring to work
for someone who works so hard and doesn't even question it.
It's just who he is, even in the face of
such adversity that he's faced throughout the entirety of this campaign,
through political witch hunts, sitting in a courtroom for weeks
(16:37):
on him because of Democrat prosecutors, two attempts on his
life where he nearly lost his life, and the man
still wakes up every day working eighteen twenty hour days
to fight for this country and That's the type of
leader I want in the president of the United States,
not someone like Kamala Harris who takes days off as
she did yesterday without a single campaign event.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It is astonishing when you think you raise this, how
little of the media has talked about, not just two
assassination attempts in a general I mean a bullet that
graised the president's goal. It was so close to, you know,
the worst national tragedy in any kind of a political
(17:18):
election or political sense that we would have suffered in
a very long time. And yet the Trump campaign, despite
the actual threats against him, very close to taking his life.
There's the sense of his joy and optimism and fun.
I know the Kamala campaign wanted it. Joy was a
word that you're hearing a lot. Trump's out there passing
fries to people and you know, having a good time.
(17:40):
I know he doesn't actually work at McDonald's. That was
the big fact check they were doing. It's like, well,
I think we know that, but there's incredible I think
you know, you and the team, I know you guys
probably feel this, but maybe it's good to hear it
from outsiders. The whole Trump campaign just feels so positive,
and especially given what you guys have all been through
(18:00):
with the President's been through, it feels almost like a miracle.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I would say, so yeah. I mean, we'll see how
it works out on November fifth.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
But certainly we have witnessed a lot of adversity, and
I think President Trump's life was most definitely spared by
a higher power on July thirteenth in Butler, Pennsylvania, where
a bullet came within millimeters of taking his life and
God willing, Thank you God for not allowing that to happen.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
And we're just so grateful he's here. And again it's
inspiring to be.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Part of Carolyn Levitt doing a great job as the
national Press secretary for the Trump twenty twenty four campaign.
Some of us thought she was going to be a
big deal long time ago, back she's running for Congress
and just saying it, some of us, Clay and I.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Are both like, she's going to be a big gonna
be a big deal, Probably gonna be a big deal.
And here we are.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Congrats to you all the hard work. And where you're
gonna be at mar Alago election night, You're gonna be
West Palm.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Where are you going to be.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yet to be seen where we're going to be, but
we will be somewhere, and it's going to be big
and beautiful, bucked.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Big, beautiful election night, the best, the best election night ever,
the best people.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Great to see you, Carolyn, Thanks for being with us,
you too, back.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
