We had an amazing day in Montana yesterday. I want to start with that. So yesterday we were in Missoula, Montana, which is known to be one of the more liberal pockets of the red state of Montana.

We started the day with our Prove Me Wrong event on the campus of University of Montana. And mind you, there's only about 10,000 students, a little over 10,000 students that attend the University of Montana. We had well over 15% of the student body attend our Prove Me Wrong event on campus yesterday.

We had over 1,500 students on campus attend. You see, there is a movement happening on these campuses, and what Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action is doing and Turning Point Action on the political side is making a profound and deep and lasting impact.

We're out there taking questions from people who might disagree, taking an open mic, if you will. It's an open mic type format, tossing around these hats for some of our most ardent and excited supporters.

There's a transformation unfolding on these campuses. If we were to do this type of an event in 2016, we might have a couple hundred people show up. In 2020, of course, during COVID, I would say maybe a couple more hundred people. I've been doing this for 12 years. We have never seen this type of enthusiasm, this type of spirit, this type of passion.

resolve for a better nation, this kind of energy. And I want to play some of the videos here of our entering University of Montana. I could tell you the students on campus, look at that right there. That is just a little bit of a, that's just a snapshot of

The students that come during the middle of the day, and it was a beautiful day in Missoula, Montana, to hear from me, to meet other like-minded conservatives and patriots, to get a MAGA hat, and most importantly, most importantly, register to vote.

Now, Blake, the population of Montana is a little over a million. Is that correct? About, yep. And so, you know, that means that the voting population is probably around 600,000 or 700,000, right? And therefore, if a presidential-style turnout will be about 60% turnout, right? 60% turnout. So therefore, if it's about 60% turnout...

The winner of the Senate race will need to get like 280,000 to 300,000 votes-ish. I'm just doing some of the... About 300 would probably be right. Trump got 343,000 in 2020, but he had 57% of the vote. Yeah, I want everyone to be clear, though. To be clear about this. So when we register 100 voters, you might say, oh, that's not a big deal. But that's like registering...

18 times that in the state of Pennsylvania for a Senate race because Pennsylvania is like 18 times the size of Montana. Arizona is nearly 11 times the size of Pennsylvania.

Montana. And so that's like registering 11,000 new voters in this. I'm sorry, 1,100 new voters in the state of Arizona. You guys get what we're talking about here. And so the race that is in question is the future of the United States Senate. Now understand Kamala Harris, if she were to win, she wants to get rid of the filibuster, do Green New Deal, do DC and Puerto Rico estates. She wants to abolish the Electoral College.

She wants to then have HR1 and most importantly and most creepily, Amnesty.

Exactly. And so the control of the U.S. Senate is critical, which is exactly what we spent all day yesterday in Montana with these students and also a great event on campus. Blake, the energy yesterday was terrific. Yeah, it was. We got, I mean, considering it was a left-wing campus, we saw a lot of this. You know, we arrived the night before. We went to Pizza Place that was open at 1 a.m. Did you really? In the rafters, it had this garish pride flag. See, I was asleep.

Yeah, fortunate. And so you could see the signs of it in a lot of places. And there were, I mean, there were truthfully like a decent number of kind of weird mutant-like counter-protesters. It was so telling, like the visual contrast between pro-Charlie and anti-Charlie. And it's a little, I have to admit, it's a little depressing. You're like, how do we lose to these? I know. Who's like, I want to side with those weirdos. Yeah.

And just to be clear, there were far more people who were supportive of Blake is being sweet. These people are very weird. I mean, we're talking about just off the side of the street, unkept.

Kind of creepy in some ways, too. I loved when we stepped out of the building and then this person just walking by us was like, a bunch of white guys. And it was a white person. Yeah, and they looked at least mostly white. But the cool thing is, guess who stayed late and wanted a picture with us was the very, very good FCS football team,

from University of Montana. Yeah, that was great. They were really excited. They're really good. They were in the national title game last year. I didn't know that. Which they went down to South Dakota. Heck yeah. And I didn't know that until I asked them. And they're really good. So here's the contrast is the University of Montana football team. They all want pictures. They're all supportive. We register them all to vote. You know, super well built, great American stock. And then you have these things.

Entities. Yes. And not that many of them. I'll say I actually expected more protests.

given that it was Missoula. Now, Missoula is the liberal heartbeat of a red state. Exactly. It is the Austin, Texas. It is the San Francisco. I don't know if it's as far as San Francisco. San Francisco is the blue heart of a blue state. It's like Tucson or whatever. Madison is probably a good comparison. It's a perfect comparison. And then we had the event with Tim Sheehy afterwards.

where we drew a crowd of nearly 1,000 people, again, on campus at 3.30 in the afternoon. If you want to host a campus event, don't do it at 3.30 in the afternoon. You know, people have class. They're taking naps, doing stuff. Still over 1,000 people. Tim Sheehy was excellent. And so Tim Sheehy is running up against Jon Tester. Jon Tester is a left-wing Democrat, California and New York liberal, who is heavily financed by lobbyist cash,

who has forgotten the people of Montana and has been for quite some time. He can be defeated. It's going to be a very tight race, though, so all of you in Montana, listen carefully and listen closely. And to Tim Sheehy's great credit, I invited him to this event, which was the day of his debate with Jon Tester, and Sheehy was like, absolutely. I mean, most candidates would be like, no, I've got to do my prep. I mean, Sheehy was like, yeah, let's do the event, and then we'll go to the debate afterwards.

So that meant a lot to me and to us because I'm so used to these guys overly scripting and doing excuses. And he was so warm backstage and a real great guy. And Tim Sheehy...

To his great also credit, there was no scripting to the event. It was just, yeah, ask me anything. It was really great. And again, there were like two lunatic protesters. And this is how it works. There were these actually three, but there were these two Native American protesters that stand up and they're screaming, which is too bad because the Native American population has been treated so poorly. And towing the Democrat Party line is not the best way for the prosperity of indigenous people in this country. So they're screaming loud. And Tim Sheehy's all these terrible things.

I joke around, Blake. I joke around and I say, now watch the headline from the media is going to be a Sheehy event draws protests and support. Front page of NBC Montana this morning. Sheehy rally at University of Montana draws support and protest. So two lunatics that scream in the stage becomes the headline when there's this amazing support. I want to play 55 here is just be real. And then I want to play part of the debate.

This kind of goes to show you guys a little bit of a taste. 55 up on screen there. Beautiful day in Montana. Well over 1,500 students there. 100 of them are now first-time voters for Donald Trump and Tim Sheehy in the must-win state of Montana. Not presidential must-win, but the must-win Senate seat of Montana.

Just phenomenal to see. But if any of you guys right now are in Montana, have friends in Montana, family in Montana, this is mission critical, everybody. We are so focused on the presidency, but this Senate seat, this singular Senate seat, can be an insurance policy. And also, if Donald Trump is to win, which we're all working our tail off to get that done, he needs a Senate to work with. He needs the U.S. Senate to be able to confirm nominees,

We have to be able to govern. It's all going to happen in the red state of Montana. If we do not win in Montana, it is be a failure of our own side. You don't need to tell me that life is precious, that it could get all taken away in an instant. That's why I keep a four week emergency kit from my Patriot supply in my home. It's got everything my family could need during a crisis with over 2000 calories a day. There's enough to go around during times of social unrest, government crackdowns,

or God forbid, an attack on the homeland. The food lasts up to 25 years, ready whenever disaster strikes. We've seen mass panic in our lifetimes before. Some were not that long ago. I'm not going to take my family's safety for granted anymore. Are you? Right now, you can get $50 off the same four-week emergency food kit that I keep in my home. Go to MyPatriotSupply.com and save $50 on a four-week emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply, and we'll send it over as fast as humanly possible.

Trust me, I know my order showed up in one day and it shipped for free. Get your four-week emergency food kit at MyPatriotSupply.com. That is MyPatriotSupply.com. Tim Sheehy, again, he had this whole event with us, and then he went on to debate Jon Tester afterwards. Let me just give you a little taste of that debate happening between Senator Tester and Tim Sheehy, who I hope is the next U.S. Senator from Montana. And the whole balance of power hinges on this race. Play cut 36.

Mr. Sheehy? Well, Senator Testor knows all about backroom meetings. He's been taking them for 20 years as the number one recipient of lobbyist cash. The number one recipient of lobbyist cash in the whole country, of all candidates, number one. So if you want to talk about backroom meetings, while I was fighting in Afghanistan, he was eating lobbyist steak in D.C.,

Now, just as a little bit of feedback, Montana, why did you guys have to have the camera quality looking like that's from 1997? Do you see that? As if it's like public access television from C-SPAN, as if it's like the Bush v. Gore debate. Can you get just the screen grab from that debate on screen? It's like you guys can up the production quality a little bit here. Yeah, look at that. Doesn't that look like kind of like Bush v. Gore 1997? It's just the whole aesthetic. They got to update a little bit.

So this is Jon Tester here who argues that abortion through all nine months is fundamental to being a Montanan. I hope you guys hear this.

This is one of the most radical U.S. senators running in Montana. The ability to murder a nine-month-old baby. We can all disagree on certain abortion topics. Blake and I are very pro-life. Fine. But this is infanticide to say that a nine-month-old should be able to be terminated. There is no disagreement on this. Let's play Cut 57. And this is fundamental to who we are as Montanans.

In my entire lifetime, I've never seen a freedom stripped away like the Supreme Court did with the Dobbs decision removing Roe. We need to have Roe reinstated. Jon Tester did indeed rank number one in cash from lobbyists, according to an AP fact check.

Republicans are saying that Jon Tester has taken more money from lobbyists than any other member of Congress this election cycle as he seeks to fend off a challenge from Republican state auditor Matt Rosendale. That was actually back from 2018. It is true. Jon Tester has received more from lobbyists. And, Blake, this makes sense. So he represents Montana, allegedly, but he's a perfect vessel for all of these different lobbyists to park money into.

A perfect vessel for lobbyists. And also just he's he's like the last stand of this long running Democrat scam. I mean, I grew up in South Dakota. We had Tom Daschle running this scam 20 years ago. What is the scam? Tell us. The scam is this whole like I am a moderate Dem who like I am easily distinguished from the rest of the members of my party. And maybe Joe Manchin gets away with this because Joe Manchin is actively blocking a lot of things Democrats want to do.

But is Jon Tester going to cause a single illegal immigrant to be deported or not able to cross the border? No. Is Jon Tester going to do anything to preserve the filibuster? No. Is Jon Tester going to be the man standing in the gap from any of the things that make a far-left Biden-Harris administration far-left? No. The blunt truth is, is...

both parties in the U.S. have kind of, they've become more ideologically coherent than they once were. It used to be there was a lot more variation within the parties. There was a lot of cross-the-aisle coalitions that would get formed. And that's just how it was back in the day. But we are less like that. The parties are more unified. They are more ideologically coherent. And that means that Democrats, even if they're from red states,

are really liberal. Yeah, this is well said. There is this blue dog Democrat, red state Democrat scam.

And he's like the last stand of that. It was like Heidi Heitkamp, Claire McCaskill. Remember? And even those guys, it was like they weren't really. I mean, Claire McCaskill basically made this like me to feminism stuff for number one issue. The ones that actually exist. I mean, there used to be serious pro-life Democrats. Those guys got purged from their own party. I think they got rid of the last one in the Chicago area. I'm forgetting his name, but there was again, there was one sincerely pro-life Democrat House rep.

Oh, yeah. It was Dan Lipinski. Yes. Yes. And I think he's gone now. He's long gone. Dan Lipinski. Good man. And so, you know, what do you have left? Like there was, you know, the guy we were trying to work with in Nebraska. And, you know, as you said, he left. Yeah, he left over that. And, you know, he didn't fully do everything we wanted. But as we've mentioned, it wasn't all him. And.

So, yeah, it's just these they run this scam of I'm a moderate. I'm basically just a Republican, actually. And no, that's just not true. Yeah. And that's well said, Blake, is that as the parties have become more ideologically coherent, Tim Sheehy is then a rubber stamp for the Democrat Party. And the people of Montana must understand that. John Tester. I'm sorry. Yes. John Tester. I'm sorry. I was reading something else. John Tester is a stamp for the Democrat Party. Tim Sheehy is the solution. Sorry. So John Tester being the rubber stamp for the Democrat Party is.

the values of the Democrat Party then are what's actually on the ballot, which value system you want. Okay, we're going to now tackle in this rapid news hour, dock workers, Israel, and the JD debate.

Okay, there's some breaking news out of Israel. Do we want to do Israel first, Blake, and then we'll do dock workers? What is the latest out of Israel here? The latest breaking news, there appears to be a mass shooting committed by at least two individuals in a suburb of Tel Aviv, Yafo. I know it well. I've been there. Yes, and...

Basically just breaking news. So there's reports of 10 dead, but that's not verified. I checked a Haaretz. I checked a J post. They have at least, you know, nine to 10 victims. But you can already see footage online that shows, you know, victims lying motionless on the platform. So I think it's very clear there will be a death toll from this.

One of the craziest things, though, is stuff is so heated in the Middle East right now that on Haaretz, at least, it's not the lead story yet. The lead story is still stuff happening on the border with Lebanon, the possible war with Iran. So, you know, we talked about this several months ago, that this...

The heat in the Middle East could be a big factor in the election, a sort of October surprise. And it does seem like that is heating up at the exact moment. It could have a real impact on the race. And there's some breaking reports we're waiting to see that the Israeli army says missiles launched from Iran into Israel.

So just to be clear, when they say missiles, that doesn't necessarily mean nuclear weapons. I don't think we believe Iran has nuclear weapons yet, though I feel like I've been hearing they're five months away from one for my entire life. But when they say ballistic missiles, it means long range missile that can

is operating on a ballistic trajectory. So they shoot it up into the atmosphere and it arcs and it comes down. So that can still be a very powerful conventional missile of various kinds. Ballistic missiles are a very difficult stop. I don't know that the Iron Dome is really capable of taking those out. I might be wrong on this one, but obviously those usually are taking out rockets, you know,

point at it, shoot it in a straight line. They were able to shoot down a lot of those missiles they fired last late spring or the summer. But I don't know that those were ballistic missiles. Those might have just been like cruise missiles of some sort.

Yeah. So, well, now Ryan's saying it can't stop nuclear warheads. That's true. But again, this isn't necessarily nuclear warheads. Any long range, like long range arcing missiles, ballistics operating on a ballistic trajectory. You see right there IDF missiles launched from Iran towards Israel. It seems like there's a coordinated thing. They had a couple terrorists come kill some civilians and then they launch. It might not even be. It could it could truly be. You know, there is a lot going on right now. Things have gotten worse.

When there's a big conflict going on, a lot of things are happening at once. And you'll see, you know, the linkages that will turn out to not be true. There'll be things that seem unrelated that turn out to be very related. And it will take years to unpack everything. And right now, you know, just last week, Israel took out the head of Hezbollah. That was a very big escalation that was in response to, of course, Hezbollah also escalating against them.

And Israel is also potentially planning a serious land incursion into southern Lebanon because that's where Hezbollah is. Hezbollah, of course, is a proxy of Iran. There's an awful lot going on here, and I don't want to race out ahead and say what the U.S. should do or what it means for everyone here. But what we can say is this is another conflict that was necessary

going in a bad way when Donald Trump was president. This is another major crisis that has flared up. And right now it's, you know, we basically don't have a president. He doesn't seem aware of what's going on. It's an administrative. Yeah. So it's an administrative state. And you,

You should be able to ask. J.D. Vance should be asking tonight, like, do you really think Kamala is ready to handle this crisis? If she is, why isn't she? Like, clearly the Biden administrative people don't want her doing this or she would be doing it. They never could find a use for her in the past three and a half years. What's the deal? What what is Kamala good at? They gave her the border disaster.

Did they ever, you know, did they ever hand her this? No wonder it went wrong. So we have people in Israel that are texting us on telegrams hearing that they're in the north. They're hearing booms and rockets. So who knows? Those could be regional or could be from Iran. So if Iran launches missiles from their interior to Israel,

Does Israel declare war on Iran? I mean, is that we're getting closer and closer towards that inevitability, it seems. So, I mean, this isn't even the first time they've lobbed missiles at Israel this year. This might be a bigger missile. We'll see what it does. If it's a really big one that kills a large number of people. Yeah, it could result in a war. But then even then you have to ask yourself, what does that mean? Because.

They don't have a land border. So Israel could bomb Iran. Iran could tell Hezbollah, hey, fight more. But they already seem to be fighting. There's we have the benefit, at least, that there's limited ability for this to blow up into a land war. The main way it could, I suppose, is Iran could invade Iraq and say, we're going to clear out everyone pro-America from Iraq.

If that happens, there will be more pressure for the U.S. to get involved. I'll be blunt. I don't think it would be a good idea for America to get involved in this war. We can give Israel moral support. We can maybe give them weaponry support. But I think it would be absolutely disastrous and pointless for a single U.S. soldier to be fighting in this interminable conflict. And I think it's important to drive home.

There will be people who will tell you, oh, it'll be totally easy to topple Iran and we'll be welcomed as liberators. We've heard that before. It's such a yes. People never know the basics. Iran is a much more significant country than Iraq is or was. It has three times the population that Iraq has or had when we invaded it. It's richer than them. It spent way longer preparing for war specifically against the United States. Saddam, it was all tank. He was like a

It was a play army for him, like pretending that he was like America. But Iran, like they have all these speedboats. They have all these drones. They have a military that's designed to mess with us. And it's a bigger country. It's more mountainous.

It would not be a fun war to fight. It would be a catastrophe. And let's just look at these headlines right now. MSNBC, ABC, Fox News, Israeli military says Iran has fired missiles at Israel. Let's talk about the politics of this. This is not politically good for Kamala Harris. Not at all. I mean, and so you have dock worker chaos and then potential regional Middle East war. This plays into Donald Trump's backstabbing.

benefit. It really does. And it's kind of like what we pointed out after October 7th happened. It's

The Biden administration is in this – the Biden-Harris administration is in this position where it's no win because the problem is just chaos. If they side with Israel a lot, they'll still alienate all of their sort of pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism base. If they go easy on it and are not saying anything, not supporting Israel, of course, they'll alienate a lot of their Jewish supporters.

And even if they're in the middle, they're just going to alienate both sides. And everyone should be annoyed because there was no war here under Trump. Trump advanced peace in the Middle East. There was not a major conflict there. And he's just ineffectual. He's not able to keep a lid on this. And Harris was a part of that administration. She was part of that decision making process. Or if she was left out, it means even as everything was going totally to hell, they still couldn't find any use for Kamala in all of this.

Yes. And so understand that the Biden-Harris regime has indirectly subsidized both sides, which we've been sending money to Iran and relieving sanctions there. We enriched Iran to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, and now they send them back.

So according to live reports here, as it's happening, the missiles are being intercepted over Israel, it seems. But I can't imagine they'll intercept all of them. It seems as if, again, we are just doing this in real time. Yeah, I mean, a big enough ballistic strike, it's, you know, they come in at thousands of miles an hour because they're coming in from the atmosphere. That's why they're so hard to stop.

I mean, they get there fast enough. Whatever they've launched will hit. Wait, thousands of miles an hour? Yeah, yeah. So above the speed of sound? A ballistic missile, you launch it up into the atmosphere, and then it's really, really, really fast and just down very quick. So above the speed of sound? Yes, yes, well above the speed of sound. It breaks the sound barrier. Okay. So, I mean, you have to imagine Israel's been ready for this, but then the escalation, certainly this is not the headlines you want.

for the Kamala Harris campaign right now going into a VP debate you have two unqualified people Kamala Harris who's a complete moron Tim Walz who is not very bright two people who also have a history of being overwhelmed by crisis I don't think you want the debate to be about Tim Walz but let's remember Walz was the governor during the George Floyd meltdown the mayor of Minneapolis says please bring out the National Guard and he just sits on it he doesn't do anything he freezes in the crisis

And we hear, you know, we see this with Kamala a lot. She's kind of a nervous person. She gives off this vibe of me. You know, this is why she's always so bad to her staff. She freaks out about situations she's not prepared for. Correct. And whereas in contrast with Trump, we already suspected this. And then over the summer, someone shot him and he maintained his composure. He maintained his composure literally under fire when it seemed like he might die.

And that is a proof of effectiveness that you very rarely get with a politician. And I think if we're able to drive this home tonight and emphasize Donald Trump is the guy who was cool under fire, who maintained control of a very tough situation, who didn't let this spiral out of control. Biden and Harris are the ones who they can't keep a lid on the Middle East. They can't keep a lid on Eastern Europe. They can't keep a lid on China. They can't keep a lid on labor disputes in America.

It's just one crisis after another. They can't keep a lid on the border. And do you want four more years of chaos? They say Trump is the agent of chaos, but he's not. He just was there chaos under four years of Trump. Not as much. That's right. And I mean, Donald Trump had peace and stability in this region forever.

And, look, people say, oh, you know, this is going to be a balanced response and measured response. Well, be careful with that, everybody. You are one errant missile away. If one of these missiles, for example, like hits the Knesset,

I mean, again, we're like one. This can only be scripted so much at some point. And by the way, just as this was happening, there was a mass shooting incident in the streets of Jaffa where maybe 10 people were killed. So it seems as if there was some symmetry here. And also, this is so glaring how connected Hezbollah is to Iran. Like, so you attack Hezbollah and then Iran gets really upset. It's just a proxy of Iran, as we've been saying this entire time.

Boy, this is not going to be a boring October, Blake. Not in the slightest. I am in shock at how bad my take was a year ago. What if it's a boring election, guys? Blake was like, guys, what if it's like a really boring 2024? So we have... I want to play the dock worker stuff, but the missiles have been intercepted over Israel. Not all of them, I believe. Some are in the interior. And so we are witnessing a...

response from Iran to Israel as this continues to escalate. In fact, we have some video here from, I gotta say, Telegram has the best war footage because it's totally unfiltered. Unique footage from a subscriber in Lebanon which shows Israel intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles over Lebanese skies. So this seems to be a very aggressive attack from the Iranian homeland towards Israel, Blake.

I'm just I'm literally like looking at the same stuff you are. It's like this is allegedly video footage. It's from Jim Schuto. So CNN. So this is real. And it's stuff hitting in Tel Aviv, missile or missile fragments. I'm sure we'll get that in a sec. Our source in Israel says 300 rockets have been fired into Israel.

Blake, just as I get ready to talk about one of our partners, is that a lot? 300? It's a medium-sized amount. They've sometimes lobbed a lot of them. No, no, I know, but I only say that. I mean, I want to make sure I don't over-exaggerate. It really depends on the type because there's a lot of rockets that do very little damage, but, I mean, Iran can fire a big missile that –

can actually hit something notable, kill people. A lot of rockets are, they are fairly weak, fortunately, or they're not easy to aim or they can get shot down. So there's a, there's a big scale from like tiny little rocket that won't kill anything to big rocket that could kill hundreds of people with a one,

one explosion. Got it. Okay. We're going to just put pause on Israel right now as Israel's under attack. So pray for Israel right now. What is going on with the dock workers? We have some tape here I want to play too, but really quick, Blake. Okay. So this has been building for a while. It was building up over the summer and it suddenly flared up. So there's the International Longshoremen's Association. It's one of the handful of pretty large unions still going in America. It's got about 85,000 members.

It's a little complicated. They're the union for East Coast longshoremen. Longshoremen, of course, are guys who load and unload cargo ships and ports. So the West Coast guys, the guys unloading ships from Asia and Los Angeles, San Francisco, those guys are not in this union. This is East Coast, so Texas, Maine, all the East Coast ports. They went on strike today and over a long-running labor dispute with kind of this...

unified collection of all the companies that handle shipping on the East Coast. They're demanding quite a lot because apparently they have turned down a 50% pay increase and a lot of them

already make six-figure incomes. So this is a... They're making pretty heavy demands. But hold on one second. The East Coast, where are they getting imports from then? That would be, I mean, ships coming in from Europe, of course. So these are a lot of luxury goods then. I mean, we're not... I don't want to say it's any singular thing. It'd be a lot of raw materials. If it was West Coast, a lot of textiles, a lot of technology. We're not importing that from Europe though, right? But you still get a lot of stuff on the East Coast and even stuff...

I mean, there's probably still stuff that from Asia that ends up going there because it might end up going to South America, South America, Africa. I'm not a big expert on global shipping dynamics, but this has definitely a lot of power. Let's play cut 60. These people today don't know what a strike is. When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas, every single port will lock down. You know what's going to happen? I'll tell you. First week,

Be all over the news every night, boom, boom. Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships. They get laid off. Third week, malls start closing down. They can't get the goods from China. They can't sell clothes. They can't do this. Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They go out of business. Who's going to win here in the long run?

You're better off sitting down and let's get a contract and let's move on with this world. And today's world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you. And you have no idea what that means. Nobody does. A good reminder on why a lot of people started to really dislike unions during the 60s and 70s. That's a good reminder why right to work got so popular. Let's play cut 61 really quick.

You know how many people depend on our jobs? Half the world. And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us because we took care of them. And we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today. And they don't want to share.

So only a few seconds. The key thing here is Biden actually could halt this strike. He has the power under the Taft-Hartley Act to demand a two month delay. He could crack down on it in a lot of ways, but he ran as a very pro-labor guy. And so this is just another thing that has blown up. They're taking advantage of him and it could cost, they're estimating billions of dollars a day. We got war in the Middle East. We got a dock worker strike. We got inflation crisis and we're being invaded.
