Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. and now the Hamilton Corner. Well, good evening America. Alex McFarland here, so honored to be with you. We've got a great show tonight, and I hope you're not burned out on politics because we're going to talk a little bit about politics. And we've got a guest that you'll meet in just a moment, author, really cultural political expert, Craig Huey. But before I bring up Craig Huey, and we will take calls. If you've got a question as you know, The big political news this week, the Democrat National Convention is rolling out in Chicago. Chicago has been a location for historical political activities in the past, oftentimes very violent. And I think about 1968 is, in some ways, 1968, analogous to 2024 as LBJ was not going to seek the nomination and Bobby Kennedy was and then Bobby Kennedy tragically was shot and there were riots. Well, just listen to this and it's just food for thought. A month ago, as you may recall, I was at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I was there. Charlie Kirk and myself spoke to youth. The Wisconsin Family Policy Council had put together a youth worldview seminar. And in addition to broadcasting live from the floor, and I was on the American Family Radio Network, and we talked with Eric Trump, and we talked with Mike Lindell, and a lot of great people.

But folks, just listen to this. I was at the RNC, and it was like a revival meeting. I mean, really, 18, 19,000 people were there. Any time you went out into the lobby, Anytime you went to any mezzanine, there were people praying, and it was really amazing. Now, on the last day, it was early in the morning, and I was walking around the downtown. There were people around. It was the last day. And there were families picking up trash. Not a lot of trash, but there were some cups on the ground and maybe a soda pop can or something. And I was looking at families picking up trash, and I was at this crosswalk, and there were policemen there, And I was listening to people saying, God bless you, God bless you. And I walked up to this policeman, I said, hey, thank you for serving. We appreciate the law enforcement officials. And this guy was nearly emotional. He said, I just got to say something. There's secret service, there's law enforcement. You all have been the nicest people. He said, if I had a nickel for every person who's come up to me and said, God bless you or thank you for serving. I said, you'd have a little bit, wouldn't you? And he smiled. He said, thanks. He said, you people have been so nice. You've made us feel so validated. Anyway, that was the RNC. So imagine this morning I'm on Fox News reading. It said, Chicago braces for five days of violence. Store owners in the downtown have boarded up their windows for the violence and vandalism that is inevitable. And I thought, you know, that's the worldview, two different worldviews, really. And there are five dozen things we could say, but folks, one group, as we were leaving the RNC, not only had we had a great event, but people were cleaning up after themselves, picking up little bits of paper, telling the law enforcement, thank you.

4:15
And now as the DNC rolls out in Chicago, people are boarding up the windows, batten down the hatches, get out of town while it's safe to do so, because it's gonna be rough and it's gonna get ugly. Just think about that as you head toward November. Well, with that being said, a colleague, I first met this gentleman at the Republic, I mean, no, National Religious Broadcasters, NRB, a couple of years ago. He's one of these guys that just he knows what's around the corner before you get to the corner. His name is Craig Huey. He's the author of the Christian voter, the intersection of faith and politics, the great deception. Honestly, folks, when it comes to the culture, spiritually, politically, things like technology, the rise of AI, voter fraud, Craig Huey is a name you need to know. I learned something every time he and I converse. He's with us now. Mr. Craig Huey, thank you for being with us on the American Family Radio Network, but even more importantly, thank you for what you do for God and country. Awesome. Well, thank you so much, Alex. Great to be with you. What you just said was so powerful as a contrast. Let me bring you a little bit further along. What you saw were people of faith that were at that Republican convention. That's not to say the Republican Party is based upon that. That's what I'm saying is that you had people who loved Jesus Christ and they were there and they were evident and their joy was there. What we're seeing with the Democratic convention is kind of like what we've seen with the Republican the gay flag, for example, and all the rainbow colors. The rainbow is God's symbol, and they've appropriated it.
-
6:18
They've hijacked it, they've taken it, and misrepresented it, and it's a matter of deception. And at the Democratic Convention going on right now, when people see and hear about this, where you're going to see are people who are using terms, that are biblical terms, but it's deception. You're seeing people who are angry, people who are mad, people who are so filled with a anti-Christian attitude that is just evident in how they talk and how they walk, say. But from the podium, you have a phony hope and a phony joy. What we're seeing live before us, that within days, the Democratic Party, because of Obama's key campaign strategies, have decided that they take the term joy. They took the term hope, and they used the biblical concept of hope, and distorted it into something it was not for Obama. They're taking the concept of joy. Now, what you saw at the Republican convention, joy was not based upon the circumstances. It was an inner demonstration of God's power in that person's life to create that joy. But happiness depends upon circumstances. And for the people that are there, it's not joy that Kamala Harris is displaying, Walt is displaying, it is a happiness in thinking they're going to win. And they're distorting the whole term of joy. They're taking away the reality that as Christians, we have hope, we have joy based upon the fact of what God is doing and not actual circumstances.

Let me just say this. Earlier today I was interviewed Craig. BaptisPress.com did a comparison of points of agreement, and by the way I could do a whole show on why I am not completely happy with Baptistpress.com in the way they pitched this. But I'll say this, in 2016 and 2020, Baptist Press did the Trump positions in light of Southern Baptist positions, abortion, marriage, religious freedom, the nation of Israel, the border and they did that this year as well. Now here is the thing about, I think this is amazing, where the Southern Baptist Convention, which is the nation's largest Protestant denomination, they, where they agree with the Trump platform, if there's a position, welfare and you know, school choice, parents' rights, all those kind of things. Yes. Interesting. And And they did this contrast of where they agree with Kamala Harris. And I wrote down what I counted. 23 points of the Trump platform. Southern Baptist would agree with every one of those. 23 out of 23. That's not bad. With candidate Kamala Harris, the question is, if you can really take them at their word where they are. there were seven points of agreement, six points of disagreement, and three or four things that indeterminate wasn't enough. So I guess here's the thing. 23 out of 23, Southern Baptist would agree with Trump, 23 out of 23, seven, and the Harris is about 15 or 16, seven they would agree with, six they would disagree, three they would not know.

Here's the thing Craig, sorry to take so much runway setting this up. Yeah. I feel like, let's boil it down to two issues. Life and Israel. I mean, is that enough that any conscientious Christian voters should have enough? Do you believe it's our right to kill the unborn up to and after delivery or do you think life is sacred and there should be constitutional legal protection for the unborn? And then what about the nation of Israel? Does Israel have a right to exist? Does Israel have the right to self-defense? I mean couldn't we almost decide how to vote based on just those two issues? Mr. Craig Huey? Absolutely. You know we're about voting based upon personality. You come and stand on stage and have this kind of foamy smile with everything she says. Donald Trump can be on stage and be angry and upset at things and people. We're not voting based upon the personality. We're voting based upon policy. And when you talk about the issue of life, how important to everybody that's listening is the issue of life and protection of life. How could you vote for somebody who's willing to allow a baby that is born to actually be killed alive in that hospital in Van Asai? How could you stand back and say, I'm okay with partial birth abortion, a baby who is viable, so I'm 139 and so many other parts of scripture talk about, God knew you when you were in your womb. Alex, you knew you before. And here you have someone who wants to take away that. This is part of that anger against life. And boy, I tell you, that issue alone, when I see the contrast, there's, it's not in day.

12:45
And then you take Israel, I will bless those that bless the, I will curse those that curse the in regards to Israel. I mean, I'd be afraid to take the position that Kamala Harris is trying to do where, you know, she's kind of, okay, I'm going to defend Israel, but no, I'm going to defend, you know, the Palestinian cause. I'm going to undermine Israel and I'm going to undermine its ability to defend itself, but I'm going to tell them it's okay. does not make any sense. We know that Israel needs to be defended and so those two you are right. But you know what, I'll give you a little pushback Alex. Is that okay? Sure, sure. I want to give you this pushback. While those two are enough to seal the deal and make a decision for any pastor who's saying, I don't know, any Christian who's saying, I'm not sure. Those two issues should define how they want to vote. But when I add the protection of religious liberty, when I add the protection of you being able to be at a mic without being censored. And I talk about being able to go and say what I want to say from the pulpit and not having the government censor me. That's an important issue too and I can name other issues. This is an election of key biblical issues. Amen. Amen. Craig, give your website before we get much farther. How many people find you online? can go to CraigHuey.com that's C-R-A-I-G-H-U-E-Y dot com.

Stay tuned, we're back after this brief break.

And that's where preborn steps in. Preborn is there for women in their darkest hour, deciding between the life and death of their precious child.

16:57
Craig, hey, I've got to change gears and then folks we will later on in this segment will begin to take phone calls, Triple 8, 5, 8, 9, 88, 40. There's a verse, Romans 2, 16, that talks about a coming day when God will reveal the secrets of men. And that being said, folks, please know there's a whole lot more going on than just what you see on the screen or on the front page. If you would, I mean we've got Joe Biden, President Biden, and he said, look, I'm in this race. I'm not going to exit the race. And then just a day or so later, he exited the race. We've got for years, the DNC hierarchy said he's at the top of his game. He's competent. He's great. Last week, Nancy Pelosi said she never thought he had a good political game and we know he's lost his faculties. I mean Craig, it just sounds like bait and switch, smoke and mirrors turn on a dime. Are there secrets going on even beyond the headlines that we daily read? Yeah, you know Alex, you've got to be careful not to avoid speculation, but there's so much evidence of things that certain conclusions can't be ignored when you take a look at facts and you take a look at events. So just take a look at this broad event when Obama was president and his term had run out. He was desperate to be able to continue to have influence. Everything was just shaken and destroyed by the surprise win of Donald Trump in 2016. Everything that could happen from big tech, the deep state and the bureaucrats and the democratic marketing machine doing so many different things that basically you have Joe Biden winning than in 2020. Yeah, in 2020. And in that election, you know, there was Kamala Harris. Well, people don't know that there was really this powerful relationship Harris has had with Obama. She was flying out before he was even a senator in Illinois to help with his campaign. She He was a kind of a groupie for Obama.
-
19:50
He was kind of like her biggest fan. She created controversy even by some of the statements she said how handsome he is and stuff. There's this whole history. When Joe Biden picks Harris, that's not a swing state. That made no sense other than the fact that Harris was one of Obama's select people. you know, when Harris was running for president, she completely failed to get any traction. She was so, you know, she just was the first, when the dropout of the presidential race. Karen Joe primaries. No, Joe Biden gets it. So then here you have kind of a placeholder, Obama, like in the artificial intelligence executive, order. This is just one. Obama and his team wrote the executive order, went to Biden and said, sign this. Basically, they were giving Biden legislation and executive orders to be able to sign and do. Obama was very much involved in all that. And it's not even a secret in Washington, in DC. So then when this happens, Biden, who says he's only transition candidate, he's not going to run again, decides he's going to run again, he messes everything up. And then they have this debate in June that they never, there's never a debate in June. And the whole world sees his inadequacies mentally, emotionally, physically. It's just so transparent. It was just like one setup after another and everything so that Harris would become the presidential candidate and reflect Obama's radical left views. And so then what happens? Who does she pick? A radical for VP. Nothing's a surprise here. It reflects Obama's game plan of going back and trying to transform culture and politics. And one last thing, if I look at everyone that was involved in the Biden administration, their Obama people, they had been involved with Obama in almost every single one of of them. And then what happens when Harris runs from president? Anita Dunn and all these people who have been involved in political marketing and political campaigning and developing slogans and strategies and tactics. They're the ones running her campaign.
-
22:40
So if Kamala Harris were to be inaugurated come January, I don't think this is an overstatement. correct me if I'm wrong, that will begin Obama's fourth term. Exactly. You nailed it. Because we've been in his third term. Yes, we have. And so this is the best thing for Obama. I mean, really, why in the world you talked about the history of Chicago. That's the last place to have a convention. And yet where is Chicago? That's Obama's home truth. That was Obama's safe place and it's more symbolic than anything else for Obama. That's what they chose to have in convention. And, you know, he lurks in the background. He has influence and power. Well beyond what you would think is you're watching Harrison and the other players in this drama. And have you noticed over the last couple of years, and I know we have collars holding, we will get to them, we'll hang on collars, we'll come to you, but I've noticed that a number of speeches, you know, a couple of years ago, they begin to show Joe Biden bless his heart, he would trip over a speaker wire, or he would wander about somewhat disoriented. I noticed, and I've seen many in the wings, or even sitting out there on the dais at so many of Biden's public speeches and public appearances has been former President Barack Obama. Yeah. And I'm like, man, he's definitely like in the entourage half the time. Yeah, absolutely. And he's going to be the main one who really gets to cheers in the screams from audience at this DNC convention.
-
24:42
and the media is going to go along and highlight them. And this for Michelle and for Brock, this is like an exciting time because he thinks they can do it. He thinks that their marketing strategies, which are 10 to 15 years ahead of the Republicans, his ability to use the judges and the legal system and the legal system to compromise our election this year. He thinks between all these plus massive registration of people that is going on right now, they think they're gonna be able to win. And you look at Google censoring and Facebook censoring and news media, you've got it. First, you mentioned Romans, Romans 118 is the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness and ungodliness who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. And if you look at the Greek word for suppress, suppressing is a censorship that's going on where young people and low information people, they don't hear programs like this. They don't see information other than a very slanted bias point of view. Right. I'm going to get to our first call. Let's go to Frank in Kentucky. Frank, thanks for holding and welcome to our conversation with political analyst Craig Huey. Frank, you're on. Yes. I want to say that these people are evil. Okay. They're just down right evil. A bunch of crooks in the White House. And you know, I wouldn't be caught dead been a Democrat. And I just, I pray all the time that these people will not overtake our country. But I just, I try to encourage other people that please don't, please pray that these people won't be in the White House because they will overtake this country. So I just say that to be, God says, he told us to come out from among them, didn't he? He said, He said, I'll be your God, and He'll be my people.
-
27:03
And He was something to Chris' it. Frank, I want to say I appreciate that. I mean, prayer, and I beg of people, you know, my co-host on Exploring the Word, Bert Harper and I were talking today that we are devoting one day a week on our show to pray and urge churches to pray. Craig, I know it might sound maybe too little too late, but I don't underestimate the power of prayer, but how confident are you that constitutionalist citizens will get out and vote? And even if they do, the election will be fairly honestly tabulated, speak to us about that, and what might our recourse be? Wow, well, Alex, a couple of things. Absolutely, the foundation for Christians is to be in prayer. Now remember, the election really starts in September, because that's when the ballots start being mailed out at the early voting states. And then in October, it's on, you know, it used to be, oh, it's, you know, in second week of November. No, it begins early. And so we need to start praying now. And so the first thing I say is that, individually, everyone needs to make sure that this is part of what they do. If you're not praying daily, you need to pray daily, and you need to add this election to that prayer, and we gotta have God's people mobilize on that. Second, I think every church in the United States should have a night of prayer and repentance that call out to God for, you know, and corporately for a revival in America in a turning of America around and for this election and protection for this election. I mean, we've already seen an assassination attempt. We've already seen so much deceit going on.
-
29:04
And we already see right now the issues of election integrity. So we need to pray for that. And then the second thing is every individual can do something more than they've ever done before in this election. Alex, the enemy has mobilized the radical left like never before. We can sit back and we can have conversations with friends who agree with us. We can listen to the radio, we can hear different podcasts, we can read different types of information that we agree with. What is it that that the Democrats are doing. They're organizing as never before, because remember, their God is government, and their religion is to try to make that government bigger. And as part of that- And this is all they have as a election. Yeah, that's all they have. That's all they have. And so that's why they have such zeal, such commitment that they're fighting against, you know, the forces that would destroy democracy. They're fighting for the forces that have people in poverty. They're fighting against those people who are discriminating and inequality. And they've got all their different issues that they're so zealous about. And so what are they doing? Well, they're going out and they're volunteering for working for candidates. They're volunteering to work for what they believe. So I'm wondering how many people who are listening are actually volunteering to help in a campaign. I want to say this, the Democrats are holding potlucks.
-
31:05
The Democrats are holding little meetings all over with the friends, from people on their are textless, people that are neighbors, people on their email list, inviting people over and then talking to them, relational marketing. I've also heard they've been paying people to vote. They've been buying votes. And then I had it from a very reputable source that if you can get 20 of your friends registered, they'll give you $200. They got that for college students to be able to pay registration. So you're 100% right. And so they're buying votes and they're doing it on college campuses and with the young people because they are convinced that's who's going to vote for them because all together, so news from TikTok. And they get teaching radical professors and teachers. Now here's one more thing. Just get this. For example, what the Democrats are doing right now is you have an app where you can put your text and email list on it. It will tell you who your friends are registered to vote or not. And they give you text messages and email messages and phone messages to keep contacting your friends to get registered to vote. That's what we're up against. Yeah, exactly. And we've got a brief break. We're talking with Craig Huey, author of The Christian Voter, The Great Deception. Your website is Craig Huey.com or which is it? Craig Huey.com. Alex McFarland here, the American Family Radio Network. My website, AlexMcFarland.com, slash Vote. And I've partnered with iVoterGuide and a lot of great people. We're trying to inform, inspire folks. Our future hangs in the balance. Go away, we're back after this. The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrence are available at aFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.

33:46
You know, what a privilege to live in the United States of America that for 248 years we have had this free, safe, prosperous nation. And really, folks, every one of us, it doesn't matter who you are, you love the Lord, you We love this country. You know how to pray. You can vote. You can influence others. We can be used by God to play a role in the preservation of America. Thanks for listening. Alex McFarland here sitting in for Abe Hamilton and our very special guest, author, trend watcher and very trusted analyst Craig Huey. I wanted to go to some of the calls that have been on hold. Joy from Mississippi. jory thank you for holding and uh... welcome to our program thank you alex for having me i take my call yes what you got joy not to put down president obama my personal opinion is he isn't capable of all of this stuff and it's a long game it's been a long game to groom him and to get him to be the president in the first place and to use the race card to make everybody feel guilty enough to vote for him in the first place. But behind him was someone who's still in the game, and that's Valerie Jared. And I think we're just walking into the same trap by giving Obama all this credit. He's still a puppet. She's working things. Her father was a communist. And I think that she is the true head of the snake in one sense. but I don't want to get used again in the race card and I feel like we're walking into that and it's not necessarily so. It's smoke and mirrors like so many have been able to play in the past. Craig, what do you say? Valerie Jarrett, I actually haven't heard that name in a while.
-
35:49
Is she a big part of this movement, this machine? this machine? So I would probably disagree with the assessment, but it could be right. What I have studied her very much over the years because she is such an integral part of all this. But her power and her influence isn't that much different than Anita Dunn and Jim Messina and a few of these other key players that are so part of the inner circle. Now, is Valerie really the one in charge maybe, but definitely she's right up there. And it's not just Obama, she's pointing out. Whether Obama's the brains or not the brains, what it is, it's a team of people around Obama. And so when Obama speaks, they move and they act. they act. And so whether it's legislation during Biden's administration or especially the executive orders, Obama's personal touch and his personal comments and presence on those was always there. This is where I mentioned at the very beginning, we got to be careful about speculation, but there's enough evidence to be able to make a decision, a conclusion, something like this. Well, you know, Valerie, you know, what's her role? Is she really the brains, or is she just one of the people in the inner circle? I don't know until somebody really exposes it from the inside if we're going to know, but we do know it's this group of very intelligent, very smart, activists and organizers.
-
37:49
And that's where Obama took the marketing to a level never experienced before in American politics. He changed American politics. So Alex, it's no longer, you know, who's got the best policies? Who's the most articulate? It has nothing to do with who looks better or whatever. It's who is able to get out the vote. And so Trump is trying to desperately move to try to round up volunteers to get out the vote. For the last four years, the Biden, Harris, Obama, Democratic marketing machine has been registering, organizing, and in place developing a marketing campaign unlike anything ever has hit us before in the past. So sophisticated and so high tech and so interacting with Google and Facebook and all the different media, but the whole key is getting out the vote. And that's where Roy Evangelical Christians is the secret weapon. There's 80 million evangelical Christians. Alex, I had a problem. George Barnes says maybe more than that, but clearly enough, clearly, the numbers are on our side if we would get engaged. 25% of almost every election are evangelical born-again Christians. They vote 84% conservative. Now we saw that Obama took a lot of evangelical Christians. He was able to pick up 28% of the evangelical vote, white evangelical vote in 2008.
-
39:50
Hillary was only able to get 16% in 2016. Joe Biden got 24% of the white evangelical vote in 2020. So they have a whole group. They got a group called Evangiocles for Harris. Well-financed, very aggressive, going after churches, Christians, Christian radio, Christian TV, Christian magazines, Christian email lists, digital media. They define who a Christian is. And so on Google, you're getting ads for Christians. There's one controversial ad, for example, video ad, that shows Billy Graham talking about sin and how you have to repent. And then talking about an old video where before Trump was ever exposed to the gospel, really kind of back-tracked. And it was a different Trump, but they're using that. Franklin Graham's outrage. Yeah, yeah, and Franklin Graham has condemned that. Hey, by the way, I've got to ask you this. you know when Hillary tried to get the nomination in 2008 and 2012 didn't get it she finally got it in 2016 and I remember that they said that you know she was one of the least liked American politicians you know in some ways Hillary and Kamala are alike in some ways and you know Hillary was not well-liked. Do you think Kamala Harris is more marketable than Hillary Clinton was? I think she's less marketable, but here's the thing. It doesn't matter because she's got a marketing team creating videos and ads and marketing slogans and copy that's not her, but is is powerfully effective.
-
41:55
And she's created this image that if you were right now, somebody who was a college student, or you, let's say you had student loans, or somebody who was pro-abortion, or somebody who is in a certain category, it could be a category general like women, or it could be young moms, or it could be senior women. Whatever the categories are, they're getting individual ads designed for them. If they're Christians, they're getting ads to destroy and suppress any type of Christian vote for Trump. And if they can, they swing it for Harris. But their main thing is to suppress the Christian vote because they know it's 84%. and and and and so uh... they've got it for the catholics they've got it for the uh... all the different religions uh... it is and massive marketing campaign that unless you're one of these groups you'll never see the message uh... i want to get a call in uh... ron in tenness iran thank you for holding uh... welcome to the program well thank you for having the guy's listen I want to tell you this Democrat National Committee have no compassion for poor people or those suffering. In the early 90s, I was a musician in LA trying to do the rock and roll thing when you could make money and media entertainment. When you couldn't have a job, you could go over to creative casting and get extra work. I mean, sometimes even over at an unemployment department, they'd have jobs on the board. Imagine, you could just take a three by five card off the board and take it to a room. the rap and say, hey, call these people and send me over. And you'd have a job that same day as an extra in the movies or in TV or whatever. And when all that kind of stopped when Clintons came in, me and some of my band mates we had to go on welfare.

Okay, I'm not proud of it, but we were getting 365, 370 a month in GR benefits plus about $70 in food stamps, let's say. And the Clintons made a deal with California to chop that down to two hundred twelve dollars cash how are you gonna pay your your your rent back then uh... to get out of the red it was about uh... three hundred to have a roommate you know you just live the the apartment and here's the point today that same agreement is frozen in place if you file for g r in the state of california you get two hundred and twelve dollars cash i could you know i have found this out was i had to apply for benefits again 30 years later because of covid because of the extreme lockdowns I had to do it and I found out I'm getting $212 cash. This is same as in the early 90s. Yeah and then they're giving the the illegals that come over they think that everybody that's on welfare is getting $950 or $1,100 plus 275 a child and cash payments plus you know 300 a person in EBT food stamps Well, you know when all of that ends after the Democrats take over they're gonna chop that down to what everybody else is getting and it's all over There's gonna be riots. There's gonna be protests people are gonna be there's gonna be fire in the streets Because they're taking that money out of ssa ssi fund and Ron good. No, that's oh under thunder And blessings to you, Craig, I want you to speak to these facts, would you please? Yeah, so Ron has a personal story that has affected him and his industry, but you can multiply the story of pain and anguish and really insane economic policies. Right now Kamala Harris has been talking about crazy price controls on food because everybody knows the food costs are out of line but why because of Kamala Harris and Biden because of their 35 trillion US national debt, two trillion dollar budget deficit. They are the cause of inflation. They've increased the money supply. They have overspent. We have a trillion dollars going out just to pay the interest of debt.

And let me know. And let me know. So this Craig, Craig, you've known me a couple of years. You know, I travel constantly. I'm on the road. I'm in 35 states a year. Everywhere I go, folks. And I was just in Indiana. I was in St. Louis. I was in Memphis. I was in Atlanta. I'll be in Hewitt, New Jersey tomorrow through Friday. Look, I'm seeing car dealerships gone out of business. Yes. Big car dealerships. Because nobody's going to spend money on big ticket items. I'm seeing department stores that are empty. I'm seeing big, I'm seeing like McDonald's out of business. Yes, restaurants. I mean, they never close a McDonald's. I'm seeing McDonald's facilities that have closed up shop. Yep, GM just laid off about a thousand people. One company after another, after another, because the economy is not good. And why? Because it's not the free market. It's regulations. It's high taxes. It is bad economic policy that has basically created an inflationary spiral. Spiral, I tell people, we're in a period of stagflation where we're basically the economy is just stalled. Wages can't keep up with inflation. So inflation's, you know, the general inflation is 19% in the last 14, 4 years. 19, 19% 4 years under Biden and Harris. I mean, that is insane. And unless you have at least 24 or 25% increase in your Social Security, your retirement funds, your wages, you're losing money. You can't keep up. Hold on. Maggie, quickly.
