John Solomon: Welcome back America one more block to go before the live coverage of the debate coverage tonight here on Real America’s Voice starts Our last guest point didn’t leave your mind It’s this election is not only being watched by Americans is being watched all over the world that’s crying for Some stability some American leadership that it has been lacking.

I thought it’d be fun at the end of today’s show to bring in one of our favorite guests He’s a former assistant secretary of state.

So he knows a lot about the world He’s also a former U. S. Court of Appeals clerk, and we’re in one of the most important oversight committees in Congress. He’s our good friend, now the national AMAC spokesperson, Bobby Charles. Bobby, good to have you on. 

Bobby Charles: John, I always love being on your show, especially when we’re in a moment of news.

John Solomon: There, there is a moment coming. I think it’s going to be a Kamala Harris moment tonight. she has been really avoiding any difficult, unscripted moments for well over 50 days now. Tonight, she’s going to have to think on her feet at least a little bit, even if ABC tries to be gracious to her. what are you expecting to see?

What are the key things you’ll be watching for tonight? 

Bobby Charles: you can never take anything for granted, John. And I’m reminded of the Jack Kemp debate years ago when everybody thought he was going to hit a home run, and it didn’t come out quite that way. But, honest to God, I don’t see how this comes out anyway but good.

Trump is a seasoned president with a record that is just phenomenal in terms of the economy, the border, and international, diplomacy, literally the opposite of appeasement that it’s a living, embodiment of deterrence. I just saw the Reagan movie and I thought, boy, there are shadows of Reagan in the way that Trump is currently configuring himself and the way that he presents himself.

He’s authentic. He’s real. He’s real. He can be rough, the truth be told, Americans are ready for real. They’re tired of being lied to, they’re tired of fakeness, they’re tired of no accountability. I think this debate is going to be one in which, Harris is probably going to look a lot like a deer in the headlights.

But at the other, on the other hand, she’ll have a few pat lines and, I’m reminded, John, of the old, Peanuts cartoons. They have to, just because you’ve put in Harris instead of, instead of Biden, doesn’t mean that you’ve changed anything. And I think she reminds me of sort of Lucy with the football.

Charlie Brown comes up and tries to kick it every time, and she pulls out of the way. And what has she done? She’s framed herself as a moderate, which she absolutely is not. She’s the most radical senator to sit in the United States Senate in the last decade, maybe two decades. She has a record to be afraid of, and, I think the average American, if they just take a moment, the average independent, the average moderate Democrat, moderate Republican, they don’t have to like Donald Trump.

They just have to understand reality. He represents a future that we can all live with and feel good about. She represents a nightmare future. And I think that’s why you’ve had a shift, John, of 14 points in three weeks in the independents. They’ve gone from favoring her by 11% to favoring Trump by 3%, and we’re just at the beginning of the last run, the last, the last circuit of this, campaign.

Amanda Head: I can’t believe we are just 56 days out. Bobby, these two candidates are so far apart on practically every issue. I don’t know how there’s anyone left in this country who hasn’t decided, but for those who have not decided, President Trump’s gonna have to stay on substance and policy.

What are the biggest issues on policy that President Trump needs to stick to? is it the border? Is it the economy? What do you think is most important for him to highlight to pull over those folks? 

Bobby Charles: I think of Trump in many ways as being positioned to present himself as he is, as a kind of combination of Ronald Reagan and Theodore Roosevelt.

That touches on the big issues. the economy is the number one issue far and above anything else. The sanctity of citizenship, thus the border, thus national security, is the primary role of the federal government and of a president. So those two issues together, but you can actually move into the environment in which you capture not just seniors, which AMAC, I think you, you have a lot of AMAC voters who understand this is a very important race and are going to get out and vote for sure.

But you also have a younger population, which I think. You have the opportunity or Republicans in general have the opportunity to re-inform or to inform well on the facts. It’s not just the economy. It’s not just the fact that they have unaffordable housing, that inflation is killing them, that, a third of them under the age of 35 are living with a relative or a friend, even though most of them are working, they can’t make payments.

So that is the Biden-Harris economy. And if you go to price controls, you go to wage controls, you go to higher inflation, more spending, higher taxes. You’re going to drive this country straight into the ground. So that is the biggest issue right there. The border, obviously it affects every family. I live in Maine.

I’m presently in Washington, DC, but I’m going to tell you something. The drug issue is massive. The crime issue is massive. Under Trump, you had lower crime, lower drug abuse, and lower drug trafficking. Not all these illegals just. infrastructure. so that’s a really big issue, but when I think of, I think of the possibilities and particularly young voters, I also think of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt was the quintessential Republican.

He established all the national parks. He was a conservationist. He was someone thinking like Edmund Burke about the fact that we owe it to the next generation to preserve this country or to even improve it. So I look at all of this and I say, I don’t know what your topic issue, what your Is your top issues are for seniors.

I know that it’s the economy and they’re a lot of their concerns about the future and social security and a stable currency and no inflation and keeping their savings for the young. I think it’s a lot about affordability and jobs and a good healthy economy. But whatever your issue is.

Honestly, if you do a side-by-side, it’s crystal clear. The Harris people will destroy this economy. The Trump people will cause it to, continue to grow. So I, really think that’s where we’re at. 

John Solomon: Yeah, it does seem to be that classic pocketbook issue and throwing the insecurity around it. It even feels more so an important moment to get a change in leadership.

We’ve got about a minute left, Bobby, just real quickly, the world itself feels so much more unstable that we seem to be losing security in the Red Sea. we’ve got two raging wars, and I hear so many world leaders say, where is the American leadership? Does that come up tonight? 

Bobby Charles: Absolutely. I think that it’s a huge contrast.

North Korea didn’t fire any missiles when Trump was president. They fired dozens and dozens. The Middle East was relatively safe. You had the Abrahamic Accords unfolding. You had people beginning to trust each other. Today, it’s on fire. Iran is stirring up the entire thing, with the appeasement that Biden and Harris, gave them billions and billions of dollars.

Biden and Harris continue to pour money down the black hole of trying to fight Russia in Ukraine, a war that they actually initiated by inviting them in. And China, meanwhile, feels that they can run roughshod over our allies, not only in that hemisphere but in this hemisphere. So, I think stability in the world, a sense that deterrence matters and appeasement is wrong is going to be front and center.

Now, do the people who are doing the questioning ask the question? I don’t know, but I think it’s a shadow issue. A stable world is a world in which America leads toward ever greater stability and an ever greater respect for democracy around the world. An unstable world, which is the Harris world, would lead us in the wrong direction.

John Solomon: Ah, you’re just right. I have one other good idea. If you want a great organization to join, AMAC. You can go to AMAC.US/JustNews. You can be with Bobby every day, get that wisdom every day, plus discounts and so many other things. For this month, you’re going to get it for one dollar if you go to AMAC.US/JustNews that’s a great opportunity. All right, folks, time to turn the mantle over to Grant Stinchfield.
