>> RAMASWAMY STANDS READY TO UP IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. I DO THINK IT TAKES AN OUTSIDER. PEOPLE HERE ARE HUNGRY FOR OUTSIDERS. YOU CAN SEE IN HIS EYES THAT HE TRULY CARES FOR THE NATION AND THE YOUNGEST PERSON EVER TO RUN FOR THE GOP NOMINATIONOR US. PRESIDENT 38 HE POSSESSES THE CONFIDENCE OF A SEASONED THOMAS 30 YEARS OLD ABOUT THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. IT TAKES A PERSON OF A DIFFERENT GENERATION REACH THE NEXT GENERATION. NOW RAMASWAMY MUST CONVINCE VOTERS HE USED AN OPTIMISM OUTWEIGHS A CAN EXPERIENCE. GOOD EVENING FROM CHICAGO AND WELCOME TO THE RAMASWAMY TOWN HALL ON NEWSNATION. >> I'M LELAND VITTER. >> AND TONIGHT VOTERS WILL GET TO ASK THE ENTREPRENEUR TURNED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST TO THEM RATHER THAN THE HOT QUESTIONS OF INSIDE THE WASHINGTON BELTWAY. IN ADDITION TO YOU AT HOME. WE ARE JOINED BY LIVE. STUDIO AUDIENCE IS AT SAINT ANSELM COLLEGE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND GRAND VIEW UNIVERSITY IN DES MOINES, IOWA, ALONG WITH THE FOLKS HERE IN CHICAGO. THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS HAVE AGREED TO KEEP THEIR REACTIONS TO A MINIMUM SO WE CAN GET TO MORE OF THE QUESTIONS EXCEPT FOR RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE WELCOME WHAT WOULD BE THE YOUNGEST PARTY NOMINEE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. MISTER BAIK RAMASWAMY. >> SOME POLLS OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS SHOW RAMASWAMY IN 3RD PLACE BEHIND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS. WE ENCOURAGE YOU AT HOME TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. >> USE THE HASHTAG THE VAC TOWN HALL. >> MISTER RAMASWAMY AGREED TO THIS EVENING'S EVENT WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS AND WITHOUT SEEN QUESTIONS OR PICKING THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS. NEWS NATION RECRUITING OPEN MINDED VOTERS INTERESTED IN HEARING MISTER RAMASWAMY'S IDEAS. SO NOW OUR FIRST QUESTIONS ARE ACTUALLY TO THE AUDIENCE BY A SHOW OF HANDS. HOW MANY OF YOU PLAN TO VOTE CAUCUS IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. ALMOST EVERYBODY. OF YOU. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE AN OPEN MIND ABOUT WHO YOU. >> WILL VOTE FOR. >> ROUGHLY THE SAME NUMBER. YOU'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO HERE AND WE START WITH BREAKING NEWS QUITE LITERALLY IN THE PAST 30 SECONDS. A GRAND JURY IN GEORGIA HAS INDICTED PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE 4TH INDICTMENT FOR HIM IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. THIS RELATES, AS YOU KNOW, TO HIS ATTEMPTS TO STOVER TURN THE ELECTION IN GEORGIA. OBVIOUSLY BREAKING NEWS I WILL GET TO A LOT MORE WITH DONALD TRUMP IN A MINUTE. BUT I WOULD JUST WANT TO HEAR YOUR WELL, BE THAT IT CAME DOWN IN THE LAST 30 SECONDS. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO READ NIGHT AND YET. >> BUT I DO THINK WE HAVE TO EVALUATE THIS INDICTMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 3 THAT PRECEDED IT IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. ONE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR UNPRECEDENTED CHARGES, NOT A LEGAL THEORIES USED TO CHARGE IN THE DOCUMENTS CASE IN THE WHAT WAS IT JANUARY 6TH CASE NOW MOVED TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD OF CRIME. THE REALITY IS THIS. THESE ARE POLITICIZED PERSECUTIONS THROUGH A PROSECUTION. AND I SAY THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO'S RUNNING IN SOME POLLS, 3RD IN SOME POLLS LIKE TODAY. SECOND, IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER FOR ME. IF DONALD TRUMP, WE'RE NOT IN THIS PRIMARY BUT THAT IS NOT HOW I WANT TO WIN THIS ELECTION THE WAY WE DO ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS THAT WE THE PEOPLE YOU GET TO DECIDE WHO GOVERNS NOT THE FEDERAL POLICE STATE. AND I DO NOT WANT TO SEE US BECOME LELAND, SOME BANANA REPUBLIC WHERE THE PARTY IN POWER, WHOEVER THAT PARTY USE POLICE FORCE TO INDICT ITS POLITICAL OPPONENTS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION, UNPRECEDENTED AND UNTESTED LEGAL THEORIES THAT IS WRONG AND I STAND NOT ON THE SIDE OF SELF INTEREST BUT ON THE SIDE OF PRINCIPLE WHEN I SAY THAT. ALL RIGHT. YOU AND I KNOW FROM BEING IN IOWA, YOU FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. US FROM COVERING IT. >> THEHE VOTERSARE INTERESTED IN A LOT OF THINGS. DONALD TRUMP IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY OFTEN BRING AT LEAST AS WE'VE TALKED TO THEM. SO WE WILL GET MORE ON THAT LATER AND MOVE ON TO SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS. DENISE WILLIAMS FROM SUBURBAN CHICAGO. HER SON PRIVATE FIRST CLASS ANDREW MARY WAS 21 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS KILLED IN COMBAT IN AFGHANISTAN. BACK IN 20 10, DENNIS, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. AND WE THINK ABOUT YOUR SIDE AND WHAT HE WAS THE SACRIFICE HE MADE FOR OUR COUNTRY. WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION FOR MISTER RAMASWAMY. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS. SO MISTER GIVING YOUR LACK OF NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE. HOW WOULD YOU. ADDRESS THE INCREASING AGGRESSIVE ACTIONS TOWARDS OUR NAVY SHIPS AND PILOTS IN THE PACIFIC BY THE CHINESE AND THE RUSSIANS. >> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION TO THE SUN. THE FIRST THING I ALSO WANT TO SAY IS I THANK YOUR SON FOR HIS SERVICE SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MY HALLMARK AS US PRESIDENT IS TO MAKE SURE I'M SAYING THIS IS THE PARENT OF 2 SONS MYSELF THAT WE WILL NOT SEND OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO DIE IN WARS THAT DO NOT ADVANCE AMERICAN INTERESTS THAT IS GOING TO BE A SOLID PRINCIPLE FOR ME IN LEADING THIS COUNTRY IF WE'RE GOING TO USE OUR MILITARY IS GOING TO BE TO DEFEND THE INTERESTS OF AMERICANS HERE ON AMERICAN SOIL. AS IT RELATES TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC. THE QUESTION US TO BOW. WE DO HAVE A VITAL INTEREST AT STAKE AND MAKING SURE THAT CHINA DOES NOT CONTROL THE GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR SUPPLY CHAIN IN TAIWAN. WE DEPEND ON THAT SUPPLY CHAIN FOR OUR ENTIRE MODERN WAY OF LIFE FROM THOSE SHOES. YOUR FEET TO THE FOR EVEN THE PHONES IN OUR POCKETS TO THESE LIGHTS IN THIS ROOM BEING POWERED BY LEADING EDGE ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTORS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE SAID IS THAT UNTIL WE HAVE ACHIEVED SEMICONDUCTOR INDEPENDENTS. WE WILL ENSURE THAT TAIWAN IS NOT ABATED BY TIME. WE WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO DETER CHINA FROM INVADING TAIWAN. I WILL END THE UKRAINE WAR ON TERMS THAT PULL RUSSIA OUT OF ITS ALLIANCE WITH CHINA. WE WILL UPGRADE OUR ALLIANCE WITH INDIA TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ON SITE AS WELL. TURN TAIWANAN INT A PORCUPINE AND YES, MOVE MORE OF OUR NAVAL ASSETS RUN A DESTROYER THROUGH THE TAIWAN STRAIT EVERY MONTH. THAT'S WHAT'S NECESSARY. BUT AFTER THAT OUR COMMITMENTS WILL CHANGE. AND IF WE MOVE FROM STRATEGIC AMBIGUITY, 2 STRATEGIC CLARITY. THEN CHINA KNOWS IT WILL NOT BE IN THEIR SELF-INTEREST TO ADDRESS ON TAIWAN UNTIL WE HAVE ACHIEVED TRUE INDEPENDENCE AND AFTER THAT, I'M NOT GOING TO SEND OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO DIE TO FIGHT SOMEBODY ELSE'S CIVIL WAR. BUT UNTIL THEN, THAT IS A VITAL NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST. AND I DO THINK IT TAKES AN OUTSIDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT THAT WAY. ALL RIGHT. COUPLE QUICK THINGS YOU SAID TO FIGHT SOMEONE ELSE'S CIVIL WAR. THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR CHANGE IN AMERICAN POLICY TO DECLARE THAT A CIVIL WAR WOULD BE THE WAY TO FIGURE OUT THE TAIWAN ISSUE NUMBER 1. NUMBER TO USE IT TO CHINESE AGGRESSION. DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU WOULD CATEGORICALLY SAY AMERICAN FORCES WOULD DEFEND TAIWAN. MY MESSAGE TO XI JINPING IS YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND YOU DO NOT MESS WITH OUR INTERESTS AND OUR INTERESTS INCLUDE TAIWAN UNTIL WE HAVE ACHIEVED SEMICONDUCTOR INDEPENDENCE. SO, YES, I WILL BE VERY CLEAR THAT WE ARE FULLY PREPARED TO ACTUALLY SEE THAT THROUGH THAT. WE WILL MOVE. FOR 2 OHIO CLASS SSG ENDS TO THE SOUTH. SO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AS WELL AS TO THE PACIFIC WILL MOVE DESTROYERS TO THE TAIWAN STRAIT. WE WILL ENTER OUR ALLIANCE WITH INDIA. WE WILL PULL RUSSIA OUT OF ITS MILITARY ALLIANCE WITH CHINA BY ENDING THE UKRAINE WAR. THIS IS HOW WE DETER THEM. BUT AFTER 2028 AFTER THE END OF MY FIRST TERM. WE WILL BE IN A POSITION TO SAY OUR COMMITMENTS WILL BE DIFFERENT. XI JINPING WILL NOT GO FOR TAIWAN UNTIL THE END OF MY FIRST TERM. I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT. AND THAT IS HOW WE SECURE AMERICAN INTERESTS WHILE AVOIDING NUCLEAR WAR. I DO THINK THAT THIS WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF OUR FOREIGN POLICY FOR WHOEVER IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT. AND I THINK THE STRATEGIC CLARITY THAT I'M OFFERING IS ACTUALLYLY MORE LIKELY TO SECURE PEACE. POSITION OF STRATEGIC AMBIGUITY THAT THE U.S. HAS SO FAR ADOPTED. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO VICTOR ROTTINGHAUS IN IOWA. HE'S A TRUCK DRIVER AND A VETERAN OF THE U.S. MILITARY. JOINING US FROM DES MOINES GO AHEAD. IN AROUND WE FOLLOW DIVISION LIKE TO KNOW WHO YOUR TOP CABINET PICKS THAT YOU WOULD CHOOSE TO SEEK ADVICE AND COUNSEL FROM. >> ALL RIGHT. I I I CLARIFY JUST A LITTLE BIT IN THAT IT'S RIGHT. YES, IN THIS MAY NOT BE EARLY YET VERY YET TO MAKE YOU PICK ACTUAL CABINET AS OF NOW WITH NAMES. BUT IF WE IF WE ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT. GIVE US SOME NAMES OF EITHER DONALD TRUMP'S CABINET, JOE BIDEN'S CABINET, BARACK OBAMA'S CABINET EVEN GEORGE W BUSH'S CABINET THAT ARE OF THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU WOULD LOOK FOR. SO LOOK IT WHEN IT COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY. I BELIEVE IN COLD WAR REAL SAYS THE KIND OF SCHOOL OF THOUGHT THAT I WANANT TO SEE. >> NOT PEOPLE WHO FAVOR THE MODEL LITTLE GEM IN A KNOT NEOCONSERVATIVES. BUT THE LIKES OF GEORGE KENNAN OF CORE COURSES LONG PASTOR JAMES BAKER THAT GIVES YOU THE SENSE OF THE KIND OF FOREIGN POLICY VISION THAT I WANT TO BRING TO THE TABLE. REALISM NATIONS ADVANCING THEIR OWN SELF-INTEREST. I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MISSING IN OUR FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT TODAY WHEN IT COMES TO SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO LEAVE THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE, FOR EXAMPLE, A REALLY IMPORTANT PICK THE NEXT PRESIDENT. WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE IN JANUARY OF 2026. I LIKE THE LIKES OF RAND PAUL OR RON PAUL WHO HAVE A VISION THAT I SHARE FOR RADICAL REFORM OF THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE RESTORING DOLLAR STABILITY AS A SINGLE MAN. 8, BUT IN ANY CASE, WHETHER IT IS IN A CABINET POSITION. IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOMEBODY WHO SHARES MY MMITMENT TO AN ORIGINALIST UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONSTITUTION LIVE IN. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE ALREADY DONE. BUT NO OTHER CAMPAIGN HAS DONE IS WE RERELEASED O LIST OF FEDERAL JUDGES AND SUPREME COURT PICKS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDE GREATER TRANSPARENCY FOR HOW I SEE THE CONSTITUTION. AND I THINK IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE CABINET MEMBERS AND OTHER FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WHO ARE COMMITTED TO MY VISION TO REDUCE THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE HEADCOUNT BY 75% BY THE END OF MY FIRST TERM 50% BY THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR. SO THESE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE AGENCY HEADS WERE YES, WILLING READY ABLE AND EVEN HAVE THE ENERGY TO ACTUALLY FIRE POTENTIALLY IN MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE REPORTING INTO THEM. THAT IS HOW WE RESTORE INTEGRITY IN OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. ALL RIGHT. SO I GOT JAMES BAKER AND I GUESS RON RAND PAUL ANY OTHER. FORMER CABINET MEMBERS, ANY OTHER CURRENT CABINET MEMBERS THAT YOU'D BE WILLING TO SAY THIS IS TH KIND OF P PERSON I'M LOOKING FOR. WELL, LOOK, WE'RE SITTING HERE IN AUGUST BEFORE THE FIRST DEBATE STILL 5 MONTHS IN ADVANCE OF THE FIRST PRIMARY. MANY OF THEM COULD EVEN BE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING IN THIS RACE FOR US. PRESIDENT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DEBATE STAGE ALL KEEP AN EYE HE WAS SO WAS ACTUALLY DOING NEXT. BEST TO SEE IF ACTUALLY THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY OCCUPY PRETTY GOOD CABINET ROLE. I MEAN, THEY'RE GOOD GOVERNORS IN THIS IN THIS, YOU KNOW, LOT OF THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS FROM BRIAN KEMP TO KIM REYNOLDS TO KEVIN STITT. 2 KRISTI NOEM. I MEAN, THE LIST GOES ON THAT WE HAVE DEEP BENCH TO CHOOSE FROM. BUT THAT BENCH OF RED STATE GOVERNORS WILL BE ONE OF THE PLACES THAT I LOOK FOR MY CABINET AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHERE THE TEAM OF RIVALS COMES FROM YES, IT WOULD BE ANYBODY WHO'S ON THE DEBATE STAGE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITH THAT. YOU THINK MAKE UP PART OF THAT TEAM OF RIVALS. LOOK, ACTUALLY THINK PRETTY HIGHLY OF MOST OF MY I DON'T WANT CALL THEM COMPETITORS, CALL THEM COLLEY SCORED ON THAT DEBATE STAGE. YOU DON'T HEAR ME BASHING OTHER CANDIDATES BECAUSE I'M GOING TO EAT EACH OF THEM TO PLAY THEIR ROLE WHEN IT COMES TO REVIVING THIS NATION. AND SO, YES, I DO THINK THAT THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WILL PUT SOME OF THEM TO THE TEST. I THINK A CERTAIN NUMBER OF THEM WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR CABINET POSITIONS IN MY ADMINISTRATION. ALSO WANT TO SAY A WORD ABOUT TRUMP. I THINK TRUMP WAS AN EXCELLENT PRPRESIDENT.I THINK HIS DEFEAT OF HILLARY CLINTON IN 2016 WAS AN IMPORTANT POLITICAL EVENT THAT STOPPED THE LEFTWARD MARCH TO OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUR INSTITUTIONS. AND SO I EXPECT TO TAKE HIM AS AN ADVISER AS WELL AS I'M ACTUALLY TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL. OUR AMERICA FIRST AGENDA. SHUTTING DOWN ADMINISTRATIVE STATE. THERE WAS SOME FORCES THAT STOPPED HIM THAT I EXPECT WILL NOT STOP ME, BUT I WILL BE PROUD TO STILL LEARN FROM THE FOUNDATION THAT HE LAID AND EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY. SO THAT'S THE WAY I THINK ABOUT MY FELLOW COMPETITORS IN THIS RACE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO I WILL RELY ON IN DIFFERENT WAYS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AS THEY LEAD THIS NATION FORWARD. THIS IS NOT A ONE MAN JOB. THIS IS A TEAM SPORT. THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GET BACK A LITTLE LATER TO HOW YOU SHUT DOWN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE. MEANTIME, I DEVELOPED A TELL WHO'S A FINANCIAL CONSULTANT HERE IN CHICAGO WITH US NOW. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WELCOME BACK TO CHICAGO. >> SO REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU VOTED FOR. IT'S NOT A SECRET. THE 2016, 2020 HIGHLY DIVISIVE FOR THE COUNTRY. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. WHEN I SPEAK TO MY MORE LEFT-LEANING FRIENDS. IT'S CLEAR THAT WE ALL WANT THE SAME THINGS WE MIGHT DISAGREE ON POLICY OF HOW TO GET THE OUTCOME. BUT IT'S IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT EVERYONE'S PRETTY MUCH ON THE SAME PAGE. SO WHAT IS YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION. REGARDLESS OF PARTY STANDING. ON HOW YOU'RE GOING TO UNITE THE COUNTRY AND ESPECIALLY CONVINCE THE FOLKS IN CHICAGO WHO HAVE LARGELY VOTED. A CERTAIN WAY FOR MOST OF THEIR LIVES ON WHY YOU'RE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE TO UNITE THE COUNTRY REGARDLESS OF POLITICS. >> ALL THANK YOU. THAT SUCH AN IMPORTANT QUESTION WE'RE STAYING ON THIN ICE AS A COUNTRY. NOW, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MARCH TO SOME NATIONAL DIVORCE. I WANT TO LEAD US TO A NATIONAL REVIVAL. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT CATALYST TO DO THAT IS A LANDSLIDE ELECTION IN 2024 THIS CANNOT BE ANOTHER 50.1 ELECTION AND JUST CAN'T. I THINK THAT IS RISKY FOR THE COUNTRY. IT MAY TAKE SOME OF THAT ICE AND. TO RUN SOME CRACKS THROUGH IT THAT I DO NOT WANT TO SEE HAPPEN. I THK THE ONLY CANDIDATE IN THE REPUBLICAN FIELD WHO CAN ACTUALLY DELIVER THTHAT LANDSLIDE BECAUSE WE ARE BRINGING YOUNG PEOPLE WITH US IN DROUGHTS. I'M THE YOUNGEST PERSON EVER TO RUN FOR US PRESIDENT IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. I HAVE LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM. THIS COUNTRY HAS GIVEN ME MUCH INNOCENT OF IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME TO THIS COUNTRY WITH NO MONEY. I'VE GONE ON TO FOUND MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES DID IT WHILE MARRYING MY WIFE RAISING OUR 2 SONS. THAT'S THE EXAMPLE WE WANT TO SET FOR THIS COUNTRY OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. THAT'S THE WAY IT'S DONE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT IS WHAT UNITES US. AND I THINK THE WAY WE GET TO NATIONAL UNITY ACTUALLY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ISN'T JUST THE POLICY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DISAGREE ON A WIDE RANGE OF CONTENTIOUS POLICIES. BUT I THINK HALF THE ROLE OF US PRESIDENT IS SETTING A TONE OF NATIONAL CHARACTER. BEING A PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I THINK IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE HAD ONE WHO MEETS THIS HIGH STANDARD. WHAT I CAN LOOK MY 2 SONS IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM IN GOOD CONSCIENCE. THAT WHETHER OR NOT I AGREE WITH HIS POLICIES. AT LEAST I WANT YOU TO GROW UP AND BE LIKE HIM. THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF HOW THE NEXT PRESIDENT CAN ACTUALLY REUNITE THIS COUNTRY. THAT'S THE STANDARD I WANT YOU TO HOLD ME TO WHEN I'M IN THAT POSITION. IF YOU ALL PUT ME THERE. IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR YOUR FRIENDS. YOU THINK. YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL A YEAR AWAY. BUT I WHERE WE'RE ON OUR WAY THERE. MORE THING I WANT TO ADD TO WE CAN SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS TO SUFFER FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. THIS. SOME PEOPLE THINK GOOD PEOPLE EVEN IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BELIEVE THE WAY WE GET TO NIONAL UNITY IS TO COMPROMISE. I ACTUALLY SEE IT DIFFERENTLY. I THINK THE WAY WE GET TO NATIONAL UNITY IS BY BEING UNCOMPROMISING ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES THAT ACTUALLY MAKE US AMERICANS. THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE MERITOCRACY FREE SPEECH, THE RULE OF LAW SELF GOVERNANCE OVER ARISTOCRACY. IF WE'RE BEING HONEST, THOSE ARE EXTREME IDEALS. THOSE ARE RADICAL IDEALS. BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES AMERICA ITSELF. AND OUR STRENGTH IN OUR COUNTRY IS NOT OUR DIVERSITY. IN SOME WAYS WE HAVE GOTTEN SO OBSESSED WITH CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSITY IN OUR DIFFERENCES SO MUCH THAT WE FORGOT ALL OF THE WAYS WE ARE REALLY JUST THE SAME AS AMERICANS BOUND BY A COMMON CREED EACH FLOOR OF A MEANS FROM MANY ONE. THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT WE'RE GOINTO HAVE TO REVIVE THAT, WHICH UNITES US ACROSS OUR DIVERSITY. THAT'S OUR TRUST RIGHT. GREAT ANSWER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU MENTIONED YOUR FAITH, WHICH IS BECOMING ISSUE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL BACK A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN PROMINENT DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN. >> CAME TO YOUR DEFENSE WHEN YOU ARE ATTACKED BY A BIGOTED MAGNA PASTOR OR YOUR HINDU HINDU FAITH JUST CAME FROM IOWA. THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF ELECTING CHOOSING THEIR CAUCUSES CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS PAT ROBERTSON. MIKE HUCKABEE RICK SANTORUM. THE LIST GOES GOES ON. FAITH HAS BECOME AN ISSUE IN PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS, RIGHT. WE'VE GOT. OBAMA AND REVEREND WRIGHT THAT ROMNEY MORMONISM. JOHN KENNEDY AND HIS CAP. IF IT IS YOUR FAITH FAIR GAME IN THIS ELECTION. YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE VERY HONEST. EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME TO ASK ABOUT IN THIS ELECTION. WE HAVE TO BUILD TRUST WITH THE PUBLIC AND SO THE WELL-RUN IN THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOTHING'S OFF LIMITS. I'M ASKING YOU TO PUT ME IN THE SEA OF LEADING THIS COUNTRY FORWARD. MY JOB IN THIS ELECTION IS FOR YOU TO KNOW THE VOTERS TO KNOW WHO I AM AND WHAT I STAND FOR. IF THE VOTERS WHAT I'M PUTTING UP. I'LL BE THEIR NEXT PRESIDENT. NOT, I WOULD PUT MY HEAD ON MY PILLOW AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT AT LEAST I DID MY PART. SO MY RELIGIOUS. YES, I HIM TOO. I'M NOT CHRISTIAN AND WE ARE A NATION FOUNDED ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES. BUT HERE'S WHAT I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE. I SHARE THOSE SAME VALUES IN COMMON. I BELIEVE I LIVE BY THOSE VALUES. MORE SO THE MANY SELF-PROCLAIMED CHRISTIAN POLITICIANS. AND I THINK THAT I STAND FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WITH SUCH OUR DADS THAT MANY WAYS I'M GOING TO BE A BETTER PROTECTOR OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES. THEN MANY OF THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT POLITICIANS OR ELSE WE WOULDN'T SEE THE ASSAULT ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES THAT WE SEE TODAY. AND THE BEST PART IS NOBODY IS GOING TO ACCUSE ME OF BEING A CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST. AS I DO. AND SO A BIG PART OF MY JOB IS TO MAKE CONCEPTS LIKE FAITH AND FAMILY AND PATRIOTISM. FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF A MEMBER OF A DIFFERENT GENERATION. I WANT TO USE THAT TO OUR ADVANTAGE TO PASS ON THOSE IDEALS TO THE NEXT GENERATION. THAT'S OPPORTUNITY. AND YES, MIGHT TAKE SOMEBODY WHO'S JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TO REVIVE THAT WHICH WE LACK AND THE REAL DIVIDE IN THIS COUNTRY. AS I SEE IT, EVEN ON THE FRONT OF RELIGION IS NOT BETWEEN THOSE 2. OUR MEMBERS OF DIFFERENT TRADITIONAL RELIGIONS FROM JUDAISM TO CHRISTIANITY TO HINDUISM TO OTHERWISE. IT IS ACTUALLY BETWEEN THOSE WHO ADOPTED TRADITIONAL RELIGION AND THOSE WHO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO A NEW RELIGION OF SECULARISTS. WOKEISM TRANSGENDERISM CLIMATE COVID IS OVER. THESE ARE NEW SECULAR RELIGIONS THAT HAVE BECOME A SUBSTITUTE FOR TRADITIONAL RELIGION. AND I THINK THE MOST DANGEROUS RELIGIONS OF ALL. LELAND, ARE THOSE WHERE THE PRACTITIONERS REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY PART OF A RELIGION THAT'S NOT A RELIGION. THAT'S A COLD. THAT'S HOW YOU GET TO MODERN CLIMATE MOVEMENT OR MODERN WOKE MOVEMENT THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE ON ITS OWN. TERMS. AND SO, YES, I WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU WHO WILL NEVER PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT. BUT I THINK THAT HONESTY SOMETHING THAT VOTERS, INCLUDING VOTERS IN IOWA WILL REWARD AND I'M GOING TO SAY THAT, YES. ARE THEY GOING TO BE SOME PEOPLE WHO MAKE SOME FRINGE COMMENTS DO THOSE COMMENTS FROM THAT 1 BACK A PASTOR, AS WAS THE SELF-DESCRIBED DESCRIPTOR REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT. THE ANSWER IS MY BOOK. NO, IT IS NOT OK. I WON'T DO IT CHURCH IN IOWA. THIS LAST. AND THEN I WENT TO THE PAST SUNDAY TOO. I WENT TO CATHOLIC PROBABLY READ THE BIBLE MORE CLOSELY THEN MANY CHRISTIANS THAT I KNOW AND I CAN TELL YOU DEEPLY THAT WE SHARE THAT SAME VALUE SET. AND FOR A GUY WHO'S NOT RUNNING FOR PASTOR IN CHIEF THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. THAT'S REALLY WHAT MATTERS. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GET A VALUES HERE IN A MINUTE. WHEN WE COME BACK, THE DRASTIC MEASURES. MISTER RAMASWAMY PROPOSES IN THE BATTLE OVER VALUES BETWEEN PARENTS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS. >> AND WE'LL GET SOME QUESESTIONS FR AUDIENCES IN THE FIRST 2 STATES TO DECIDE REPUBLICAN >> THERE'S NO OPTION FOR TO MAKE A BETTER COUNTRY FOR OUR SON. THAT'S REALLY WHY WE'RE IN. >> REMEMBER THAT WE WERE THERE TOGETHER AND WELL, WE KNOW THAT WOMAN TO REPORT FROM US PALM OF YOUR WIFE THERE. WONDERFUL WOMAN REALLY GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH HER. WE SPENT SATURDAY WITH THE RAMASWAMY'S IN IOWA AND SHE'S NOT ALONE AND CARING ABOUT HER CHILDREN'S FUTURE. YOU TALK ABOUT THAT AN AWFUL LOT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AND AS WE PUT TOGETHER TONIGHT IN THE QUESTIONS AND STARTED INTERVIEWING AUDIENCE MEMBERS. THE AMOUNT QUESTIONS WE GOT FOCUSING ON EDUCATION. >> STUNNED IS. >> YOU COULD ARGUE IT WAS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT AN ISSUE. YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT IN TOTALITY YOU MADE ABOLISHING DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. A KEY PART OF YOUR CAMPAIGN WILL GET TOO HIGH TO DO THAT IN A MINUTE, BRIAN, I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THAT KAREN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WANTS TO ASK ABOUT YOUR PROPOSE CIVICS TEST FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS. BUT WE ACTUALLY START FOR A QUESTION FROM ANNA LEICESTER'S. SHE'S A 17 YEAR-OLD HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR YEAR IN ILLINOIS BY NO MEASURE DID THE 25 YEAR OR THE 18 YEAR-OLD GIRL WILL BE 18 FOR THE ELECTION. YOU CAN VOTE. WELL, ALL RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. >> HERE'S A QUESTION. OKAY. YEAH. AS YOU MENTIONED, I'M 17 YEARS OLD AND I'M A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL I FOUND THAT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PANDEMIC. IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO VOICE ANY CONSERVATIVE OPINION WITHOUT PUSHBACK FROM TEACHERS AND PEERS. AND I DON'T SEE EQUAL ATTITUDE TOWARD STUDENTS WHO SHARE MORE PROGRESSIVE OPINIONS. I'M A YOUNG PERSON AND I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN MY SHOES AND THEY'RE TOO SCARED TO SHARE THEIR OPINIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR FEAR OF BEING LABELED OR BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. AND MY QUESTION IS HOW WOULD YOU PLAN TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES THAT PROTECT AND ENCOURAGE FREE SPEECH AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF. >> THAT'S A GREAT FIRST OF ALL, SO GRATEFUL AS A YOUNG PERSON THAT YOU ARE HERE AND IS ENGAGED AS YOU ARE. AND I CAN BASICALLY CONFIRMED THAT. I SEE EVERYTHING YOU SAY AMONGST YOUNG PEOPLE. MY WIFE REPORT AN AI WHOSE. SHE'S ALSO HOPEFULLY HERO THAT STANDS AN EXAMPLE FOR WHAT'S POSSIBLE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE MADE A DECISION TO ENDOW A SCHOLARSHIP CALLED THE AMERICAN IDENTITY SCHOLARSHIP. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST WARNING FINANCIALLY WARNING SCHOLARSHIPS, HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CAN WIN.N. $25,000 TOWARDS COLLEGE. WE'RE NOW HEARING SOME HIGH SCHOOLS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT HAVE IMPOSED RACIAL EQUITY AGENDAS ON THEIR STUDENTS SAY THEY WILL NOT EVEN INFORMED THEIR STUDENTS OF THAT SCHOLARSHIP THAT THEY COULD WIN BECAUSE THEY DEEMED THE AMERICAN IDENTITY SCHOLARSHIP TO BE CONTROVERSIAL. THIS SHOWS HOW FAR WE'VE COME AS A CULTURE. SO FEEL WHAT YOU DO. I SEE SOME THINGS OUT AND BRING THE TABLE. BUT IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE NEEDED SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THAT BEING SAID, THERE ARE THINGS THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO. I THINK THAT MUCH OF WHAT WE CALL WOKEISM. IT NEEDS THE SUPREME COURT'S TEST FOR WHAT COUNTS AS A RELIGION. WELL, THAT REALLY MEETS THE SUPREME COURT'S TEST THAT MEANS MUCH OF WHAT WE SEE HIM IN PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER TRAINING CONSTITUTES A TITLE 7 VIOLATION. THE TITLE 7 VIOLATIONS THAT THE PROHIBITION ON DISCRIMINATION, ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION SAYS YOU CAN'T FORCE SOMEBODY TO BOW DOWN TO THE RELIGION OF THE EMPLOYER, ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT EMPLOYER IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR THE STATE GOVERNMENT. WELL, THIS CASE OF THIS MEETS THE SUPREME COURT'S TEST FOR WHAT COUNTS AS A RELIGION CERTAIN WORDS YOU CAN'T SAY CLOTHES. YOU CAN'T WEAR APOLOGIES. YOU MUST RECITE. WELL, THE NET MEANS THAT BENDING THE KNEE TO THIS RELIGION IS NO MORE LEGAL THAN FORCING IT FOR ANY OTHER. SO I INSTRUCT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO ENFORCE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS, EVEN HANDEDLY TO ELIMINATE THE POLITICAL VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATION THAT WE SEE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THAT'S JUST ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT I PLAN TO DO AS YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR. THE PRESIDENT IS NOT GOING TO BE A POLITICAL MESSIAH TO SOLVE ALL OF OUR CULTURAL PROBLEMS. SOME OF THAT'S GOING TO LAND ON YOUR FOOTSTEPS AS WELL. I'LL REMIND YOU THAT ALEXANDER HAMILTON WAS IN HIS EARLY 20'S WHEN WE DECLARED INDEPENDENCE THOMAS JEFFERSON WAS 33 WHEN HE WROTE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. PEOPLE SAY I'M YOUNG THAT 38 AM OLD COMPARED TO THOSE GUYS RUNNING FOR US PRESIDENT. I THINK IT WILL BE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO BEAR BOTH THE RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STEP UP AND BE THOSE REVOLUTIONARIES IN OUR TOP. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHEN YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE ROOM, WHATEVER THAT ROOM NURSE. MAYBE IT'S IN COLLEGE NEXT YEAR, MAYBE IT'S AT THE DINNER TABLE, MAYBE 20 WITH YOUR FRIENDS IN A CAR, RIGHT. WHEN YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE ROOM WHO BELIEVES WHAT YOU DO. YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION NOW MORE THAN EVER TO ACTUALLY STAND UP AND SAY I WANT YOU TO A PROMISE. YOU HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE. IF I DON'T KEEP THIS PROMISE TO YOU. IF YOU DO THAT AND YOU DO WITH CONVICTION YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THAT ROOM WHO BELIEVED WHAT YOU DID BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE WILL COME OUT OF THEIR CLOSET AS WELL. FEAR HAS BEEN INFECTIOUS. YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT COURAGE CAN BE CONTAGIOUS TO SO I WILL DO MY PART. BUT I NEED YOU TO DO YEARS AND THAT IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO REVIVE THIS COUNTRY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. I PROMISE TO DO THAT. >> THANK YOU. YOU HAVE MY PROMISE TO. I'M VERY PROUD OF THANK YOU. ALL DOCTOR BRIAN MCQUADE, I THINK YOU ARE SOMETHING YOU SUPPORT. SHE WASN'T ALREADY. SHE'S AFTER BRIAN MCQUADE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR GRAND BEER. YOU UNIVERSITY IN IOWA IS WITH US PROFESSOR. >> AMERICA IS IN THE BEEN A GLOBAL LEADER IN HIGHER EDUCATION. KNOW WE PRODUCE SOME OF THE GREATEST SINE DOCTORS LAWYERS ASSIGNED TO JUDGE FOR GENERATIONS. AND TODAY HIGHER EDUCATION AND IN CRISES, THE PUBLIC IS QUESTIONING THE VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION. I WERE TALKING A LOT ABOUT STUDENT LOANS AND STUDENT ON THAT. WHAT YOU KNOW, YOU CAMPAIGN HAS REALLY BEEN ABOUT A REVIVAL AND ABOUT DOING DIFFERENTLY. WELL, HIGHER EDUCATION POLICY, BE DID YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY INTO STORE AMERICAN NEED TO SHIP IN HIGHER EDUCATION THE NEXT GENERATION NO PRIOR KID SHOW THAT THEY HAVE THE HOPE OF EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE. GREAT QUESTION. THANK YOU. I I THINK THAT THIS GOES BACK TO THE QUESTION OF WHAT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM. >> TO ME THE AMERICAN DREAM IS A SYSTEM OF MERITOCRACY WHERE ANYBODY WHOEVER YOU ARE REGARDLESS OF YOUR SKIN COLOR WHERE YOUR PARENTS CAME FROM. YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM OF YOUR GOD GIVEN POTENTIAL, WHATEVER THAT POTENTIAL IS IN A DIVERSE AREA MAYBE NOBODY'S GOING TO STOP YOU ON THAT WAY. SO FOR ME THAT AMERICAN DREAM RAN THROUGH FOR YOUR COLLEGE EDUCATION. BUT FOR OTHER STUDENTS MAY RUN THROUGH A ONE-YEAR VOCATIONAL PROGRAM. TO BE A WELDER OR MECHANIC OR A CARPENTER OR A BUILDER. THE PROBLEM TODAY IS WE HAVE A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT ARTIFICIALLY DISTORTS THE CHOICES THAT STUDENTS MAKE BY SUBSIDIZING FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE DEGREES AND SADDLING STUDENTS WITH DEBT. WELL, MANY OF THOSE STUDENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF GOING TO A ONE-YEAR VOCATIONAL PROGRAM INSTEAD, THAT SAME FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS ALSO WASTING DOLLARS THAT COULD BE ACTUALLY IN THE HANDS OF PARENTS TO DELIVER THEIR CHILDREN BETTER K THROUGH 12 EDUCATION. SO IN A NUTSHELL. HERE'S TO DO AS PRESIDENT. I WILL SHUT DOWN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. I WILL USE THAT 80 BILLION DOLLARS AND PUT IT IN THE HANDS OF PARENTS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO THE BEST POSSIBLE K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS THAT THEY CAN. I'LL GO FURTHER AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THIS ON TERMS THAT REQUIRE LOCALITIES TO ELIMINATE TEACHERS UNIONS SO THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN ACTULY GO ONCE AGAIN COMPETE WITH PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS. IF YOU'RE GOING TO TEACH IT IN THE CLASSROOM. YOU BETTER PUT IT ONLINE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT IT ONLINE. YOU PROBABLY SHOULD BE TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM AND REVIVE CIVIC EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY THAT PUTS STUDENTS IN A BETTER POSITION WHEN THEY DIDN'T GRADUATE FROM 12TH GRADE TO MAKE THAT BEST CHOICE FOR THEMSELVES. AND FOR THOSE WHO DO CHOOSE FOR YOUR COLLEGE EDUCATION. IT IS A FACT THAT'S COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED AND BALLOONED OUT OF CONTROL. IT IS INEXCUSABLE AND IT IS IN DIRECT CORRELATION TO HIRING PEOPLE IN THE MANAGERIAL CLASS, NOT EVEN PROFESSORS ASSOCIATE DEANS OF DIVERSITY OR GOD KNOWS WHAT IN THE MICHIGAN SYSTEM. 10 TIMES PROLIFERATION OF THAT CANCER COMPARED TO EITHER PROFESSORS OR STUDENTS THAT ISRAEL AND THE WAY WE ACTUALLY CUT COSTS IS TO FIRST CUT THE BUREAUCRACY BOTH IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND EVEN IN THOSE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES THAT HAVE HIRED THE BUREAUCRATIC LOT AS WELL. SO THERE'S A LOT MORE TO SAY. IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. BUT AT LEAST GIVES YOU A TASTE OF HOW IT'LL TURN EDUCATION BACK TO BEING ABOUT THE ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS RATHER THAN ABOUT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS OF THE BUREAUCRATIC CLASS. I THINK WE CAN ALL REASONABLY GREEN. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT POLICY PROPOSALS WRAPPED UP. >> IN ESSENCE ELIMINATING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, SOMETHING YOU'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT 2 WAYS TO DO THAT. RONALD REAGAN PROMISED TO DO IT AS WELL AFTER CARTER STARTED, YOU CAN GO THROUGH CONGRESS, WHICH I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY REASONABLY GREAT CONGRESS IS NOT GOING TO SIGN ON TO ELIMINATING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, WHICH PUTS YOU IN A DIFFERENT GROUP THAT PUSHES THE SAME GROUP AS. >> BUSH. OBAMA, BIDEN TRUMP, ALL PEOPLE WHO PROMISE TO DO THINGS ON DAY DO IT BY EXECUTIVE FEET. NOT. THEY ARE CHALLENGED IN THE COURTS OR OR BY CONGRESS DOESN'T THESE PLANS OF WHAT YOU HAVE A LOT. BY EXECUTIVE FIAT. JUST MAKE YOU ANOTHER ONE THESE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO WANTS TO DO THINGS. BY EXECUTIVE ORDER. IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHIEF EXECUTIVE WHO WANTS TO REDUCE REGULATIONS SET FORTH BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. >> REDUCED MANAGERIAL CANCER IN THE EXECUTIVE BUREAUCRACY VERSUS THOSE WHO WISH TO CREAEATE SOMEING. THEY WERE NEVER AUTHORIZED ACACTUALLY CREATE VERY BIG DIFFERENCE. AND SO MY VIEW IS THAT ARTICLE 2 OF THE CONSTITUTION SAYS THERE WAS ONE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. I KNOW THIS IS AN OUTSIDER. I'M NOT A POLITICIAN. I GOT ACTUALLY AN ASSET IN THIS RACE AND LEADING THIS COUNTRY. I KNOW THAT IF SOMEBODY WORKS FOR YOU AND YOU CAN'T FIRE THEM. THAT MEANS THEY DON'T WORK FOR YOU. IT MEANS YOU WORK FOR THEM BECAUSE YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY DO WITHOUT HAVING ANY AUTHORITY TO ACTUALLY CHANGE AND I REFUSED TO BE THAT PUPPET SITTING IN THE WHITE HOUSE. SO I WILL SAY THIS. I'D LIKE TO BOAST. BUT THAT'S JUST A FACT. I THINK I HAVE THE SINGLE GREATEST UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO ACTUALLY SHUT DOWN THE ADMINISTRATIVE BUREAUCRATIC DEEP STATE ON LEGAL GROUNDS. I'LL GIVE YOU 1 EXAMPLE. WHAT STOP TRUMP FROM DOING IT. FOR EXAMPLE, WAS THEY SAID THERE ARE CIVIL SERVICE PROTECTIONS THAT STOP YOU FROM FIRING PEOPLE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. WELL, WE THE LAW. TURNS OUT THAT ONLY APPLIES TO INDIVIDUAL FIRINGS. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MASS LAYOFFS. MASS LAYOFFS ARE ABSOLUTELY WHAT I'M BRININGING TO THE DC BUREAUCRACY. WILL I BE SUED OVER? YES, I WILL. THAT MEANS WE GO TO THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH OF STUDY WE WIN 63 IN THE CURRENT SUPREME COURT AND THAT'S HOW WE DRIVE REAL CHANGE BECAUSE NOW IT'S IN JUDICIAL PRECEDENT AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT WHO COMES AFTER ME WON'T HAVE HIS HANDS TIED IN THE SAME WAY. AND SO THAT'S HOW I WANT TO DO THIS GROUND IN PRINCIPLE GROUND IN THE LAW AND ACTUALLY DELIVER FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY I LET'S ASSUME FOR A MOMENT THAT YOU CAN INDEED DO THAT. AND I I THINK REASONABLE PEOPLE CAN AGREE THAT THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS AND THOSE ARE LEGAL SCHOLARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS AND THAT THAT WILL BE DEBATED BY THE SUPREME COURT. >> WHAT JOE BIDEN DECIDED TO DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING WITH ICE. WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH THAT. IF JOE BIDEN WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGENCIES IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND HAD A CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS FOR DOING IT. AS I DO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PRESIDENTIAL REORGANIZATION ACT IN 1977 SAYS THE PRESIDENT CAN SHUT DOWN AN AGENCY. IT STIMULATES THE ECONOMY OR IF IT ELIMINATES REDUNDANCIES IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THAT'S THE ONE ALL USED TO SHUT DOWN THE FBI BY THE WAY, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT. HE SAYS IT'S GOING DO USE YOUR FIRST ONE, BUT IT'S GOING TO HELP THE ECONOMY. HE SAYS WE NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS. NOT LAST BECAUSE WE NEED MORE WORKERS, NOT LAST. >> I'M GOING TO SHUT DOWN ICE. WE HAVE TO STILL ENFORCE THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY. THAT'S THE DO WELL, THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS ALSO A LOT FUNDING. IT IS ALSO A LAW BY CONGRESS. I'M SURE I'M JUST TRYING TO FURE OUT WHERE YOUR CHERRY PICKING WHICH AGENCIES ARE ABLE TO BE SHUT DOWN WHICH REDUCING BUREAUCRACY IS THE TOP OF THE AGENDA. AND SO IF YOU'RE GENERALLY REDUCING BUREAUCRACY, I STAND ON THE SIDE OF DOING. AND ICE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. ICE ISN'T DOING THEIR JOB. WE HAVE 10 TO 14,000 ILLEGAL MIGRANTS ILLEGALLY CROSSING THE SOUTHERN BORDER DAILY. THAT IS THE SWISS CHEESE OVER SOUTHERN BORDER WHERE FENTANYL IT'S FLOWING ACROSS THIS BORDER. THE ONE-WAY OPIUM WAR THAT WE FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE IN HUMAN N TRAFFICKG, CHILD TRAFFICKING. WHY? BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF BUREAUCRATS. WE NEVER ELECTED. AND THIS IS THE BIG JOKE OF OUR SYSTEM. PEOPLE ARE VOTING POINT WANT TO CRITICIZE JOE BIDEN. I FIND THAT BORING ONE CRITICIZE BIDEN WHEN HE'S NOT EVEN THE PERSON RUNNING THE COUNUNTRY. THE PEOPLE WHO WE ELECT TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ARE NOT THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY RUN THE GOVERNMENT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I WOULD RATHER HAVE A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT WHITE DISAGREED WITH STILL HE WAS THE DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT. LEAST TO BE A WHO ACTUALLY WIELDED THE EXECUTIVE POWER OF THIS COUNTRY RATHER THAN ACTUALLY BE A PUPPET MOVING THE EXECUTIVE POWER OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE, WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS TODAY. THAT'S WHAT I TELL THE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY STOP TALKING ABOUT BIDEN AND HARRIS. START TALKING ABOUT OUR OWN VISION. WHAT WE STAND FOR. 2022 WAS A RED WAVE. IT WAS A RED TRICKLE AT BEST BECAUSE YOU CAN CRITICIZE THE RADICAL BIDEN AGENDA ALL YOU WANT. IF YOU LACK OF VISION OF YOUR OWN. WE'RE GOING TO LOSE AGAIN. BUT IF YOU WANT TO WIN IN A LANDSLIDE, AS I BELIEVE I WILL AS THE NOMINEE. WE WILL EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY WHY REDUCING THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE HEADCOUNT THE SIZE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY 75% WILL STIMULATE THE ECONOMY. IT WILL RESTORE 3 BRANCH, CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AND IT WILL REVIVE THE ESSENCE OF OUR NATIONAL SOUL. DO THAT WILL WIN IN A LANDSLIDE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING I THINK THERE'S SOME THERE WAS A JOKE ABOUT REAGAN ONCE MADE ABOUT NON-ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES ON SNOW YOU DON'T SHOW UP ON A SNOW DAY. YOU'RE NOT NEEDED IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA GET YOUR SHOES ON THE BORDER. MY MY VERSION OF THAT IS IF YOU'RE WORKING BUYS VIA ZOOM. >> SEE YOU LATER. KAREN DAVIS, RETIRED CENSUS BUREAU WORKER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE IS WITH US FOR A QUESTION ABOUT EDUCATION AS WELL. HIGH. >> YES. HI, THANK YOU, SO MANY. I AGREE WITH TO HAVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE TO KNOW THEIR CIVICS AND PASS THE TEST NEW US CITIZENS HAVE TO TAKE. BUT IF THERE WAS NO FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. HOW WOULD THAT BE ENFORCED A IN YOUR ADMINISTRATION AS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT EDUCATION IS SET AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL. SO HOW ARE THE STANDINGS? ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. >> AND I INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. SO EVEN THOUGH MANY OF THE SOLUTIONS THAT I SPEAK TO STAND FOR MY VISION FOR THIS COUNTRY. I'M GOING TO DEPEND ON STATES. GOOD GOVERNORS. GOOD MAYORS. GOOD SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS TO DO THEIR PART. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE THAT FEDERAL SEPARATION IN OUR SYSTEM OF FEDERALISM IN THIS COUNTRY ON THE 10TH AMENDMENT ABSOLUTIST THAT WHICH IS NOT RESERVED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS RESPECTIVELY RESERVED TO THE STATES AND TO THE PEOPLE. SO I WILL ABIDE BY THAT. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY SUPPORT FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IN THIS COUNTRY THAT SAYS THAT BASICALLY IF YOU WANT TO EDGE INTO CITIZENSHIP, INCLUDING ALL THE CIVIC PRIVILEGES, INCLUDING VOTING. YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST PASS THAT SAME CIVICS TEST. THEN AN IMMIGRANT HAS TO PASS IN ORDER TO BECOME A VOTING CITIZEN OR ELSE AT LEAST SERVED THIS COUNTRY MINIMALLY FOR 6 MONTHS IN THE MILITARY OR A FIRST RESPONDER ROLE. SO THAT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN DRIVE AS THE U.S. PRESIDENT. BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. IT WILL INDEED TAKE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS GOVERNORS, LOCAL PARENTS REALLY DRIVING THAT CHANGE AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL, WHICH IS WHERE EDUCATION BELONGS. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW THAT WE ARE IN REALM OF ENDING THE CONSTITUTION. TERM LIMITS. I FAVOR TERM LIMITS. CONGRESS TO FOR THE U.S. SENATE VISITING CLEVELAND. OH. THIS IS THE LESS IMPORTANT TERM LIMIT. THAT MATTERS. THE REAL TERM LIMIT THAT WE NEED MID 8 YEAR TERM LIMIT AND EXECUTIVE BRANCH FOR THE U.S. PRESIDENT. BUT I CAN'T COLLECT A PAYCHECK FROM YOU ALL AS THE TAXPAYERS FOR MORE THAN 8 YEARS, WHICH I THINK IS A GOOD THING. BUT THEN NEITHER SHOULD ANY OF THOSE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES REPORTING IN TO ME EITHER TERM LIMITS FOR THE BUREAUCRACY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NEVER ELECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND THAT I CAN DO WITHOUT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BECAUSE I WILL BE THE CEO OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, INCLUDING THE HR DEPARTMENT WHICH REPORTS INTIMATE THAT'S CHANGE. WE CAN DRIVE STARTING IN YOUR ONE. YOU HAVE SUGGESTED IS PART OF YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. THE VOTING RIGHTS. SOMEONE DOESN'T PASS A CIVICS TEST REQUIRE THEM TO SERVE FOR 6 MONTHS IN THE MILITARY OR IN FIRST RESPONDER. WELL, IF THEY WANT TO VOTE, IF THEY WANT TO VOTE, THEY DON'T WANT TO VOTE. YOU CAN BE UP UNTIL THE AGE 25 NO MATTER HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE OF AMERICA. YOU GET TO VOTE. >> YES. SO THAT THE BASIC PROPOSAL IS WE WANT EVERYBODY IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME. THAT'S WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS ENVISIONED. THEY BACK. THAT WAS LANDOWNERSHIP. THAT'S NOT RIGHT FOR OUR AREA. SKIN IN THE GAME NOW MEANS YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE COUNTRY, NOT SOMETHING THAT I'M MAKING UP. IT'S THE THINGS THAT WE ALREADY REQUIRE IMMIGRANTS, PEOPLE LIKE MY MOTHER OR COUNTLESS IMMIGRANTS INTO PROTECTIVE INTIALLY EVEN IN THIS ROOM TO HAVE KNOWN BEFORE YOU BECAME VOTING CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. I THINK IT'S VERY REASONABLE TESTS ARE FOR EVERYONE. SERVICE CAN BE A GOOD WAY TO AVOID THAT. TOO. BUT THAT'S THE KIND OF CIVIC REVIVAL WE'RE GOING TO POLICY POLL. WELL, ON DAY 1. NO, IT DID NOT. BUT I STILL A GO OVER WISHES OF MY CAMPAIGN ADVISORS AND OTHERWISE. NOW THIS IMPORTANT AND I BELIEVE AS REAGAN DID WRITE WOULD REAGAN DO IN H HIS VISION FOR THIS COUNTRY DIDN'T POLL. WELL, HE SAID, WELL, I HAVEN'T DONE A GOOD ENOUGH JOB OF PERSUADING THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. THAT'S THE KIND OF SPIRIT WE NEED BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A MOMENT WHERE NATIONAL PRIDE IS ON THE DECLINE LESS THAN 16% OF GEN Z SAYS THEY'RE PROUD TO BE AMERICAN. 60% OF YOUNG AMERICANS. I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP 60% ACCORDING TO THE REBOOT FOUNDATION IN A RECENT SURVEY. 60% SAID THEY WOULD SOONER GIVE UP THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE. THEN TO GIVE UP THEIR ACCESS TO TIKTOK. OKAY. THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIND OUR WAY OUT OF IT AUTOMATICALLY. AND THERE'S AN OLD SAYING THAT GOES, IF YOU CARE ABOUT SOMEBODY, YOU TELL THE TRUTH. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF, YOU TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. WELL, I CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. THAT IS WHY I WILL TELL THEM THE TRUTH. I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE THE SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL STRATEGY. BUT EITHER WAY, THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE RUNNING THIS CAMPAIGN. SPEAKING OF THE TRUTH, THIS HAS BEEN A THORNY ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS. THE ISSUE OF ABORTION. YOU HAVE SOME STRONG THOUGHTS ON IT. KEITH BRANDON FROM THE CHCHICAGO SURBS. ATTORNEY. AS WELL TO ASK ABOUT ABORTION. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY QUESTION. REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT FARED WELL IN ELECTIONS SINCE THE DOBBS DECISION CAME OUT. >> HOW WILL YOU CONVINCE INDEPENDENT VOTERS TO VOTE FOR YOU ON QUESTIONS OF ABORTION WITHOUT ALIENATING THE PRO-LIFE REPUBLICAN BASE. >> WELL, LOOK, I THINK WE'RE I CAN START WITH THE LATTER PART OF THAT BECAUSE THAT'S THE EASY PART. I AM PART OF THE PRO-LIFE REPUBLICAN BASE. I'M ON APOLOGETICALLY PRO-LIFE. I PICKED IT UP DURING MY YEARS AT SAINT X HIGH SCHOOL IN CINCINNATI AND OF REMAIN PERSUADED SINCE THE GOOD NEWS IS I ACTUALLY THINK MOST AMERICANS SHARE PROLIFE INSTINCTS AND I CAN PROVE THAT TO YOU. LET'S TAKE THE CASE THAT CLARENCE THOMAS ASKED ABOUT DURING THE DOGS HERE. PREGNANT WOMAN WALKING DOWN THE STREET. ASSAULTED UNBORN CHILD DIES AS A RESULT. YOU FIND ME ONE AMERICAN, ONE PERSON EVEN IN THIS ROOM TODAY WHO SAYS THAT THAT CRIMINAL DOES NOT DESERVE LIABILITY FOR THAT DEATH. YOU WON'T FIND ONE. AT LEAST I HAVEN'T YET. THAT SAYS WE SHARE THE SAME INTUITIONS IN COMMON. NOW WE TURN IT INTO MEN'S RIGHTS RIGHTS THIS IS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS. SO I FOR MY PART AND WILLING TO WALK THE LEFT WHEN IT COMES TO BEING PRO-LIFE. HERE'S ROUND DIFFERENT FOR MANY REPUBLICANS. I THINK WE SHOULD BE OPEN TO POLICIES TO HELP SUPPORT CONTRACEPTION ADOPTION. PATS TO CHILDCARE. SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEN IN AN ERA OF GENETIC PATERNITY TESTS THAT ARE 100% RELIABLE. ADD THAT TO THE LAW IN TERMS OF LIABILITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT MEN SHOULD BEAR TO SAY WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. THIS IS NOT A MEN'S VERSUS WOMEN'S ISSUE. IT'S A HUMAN RIGHTS AND THEN ALL SAY THIS. I'M RUNNING FOR US PRESIDENT. I'M NOT RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR. AS I SAID EARLIER ON THE 10TH AMENDMENT ABSOLUTIST THAT WHICH IS NOT RESERVED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS RESERVED RESPECTIVELY TO THE STATES AND TO THE PEOPLE. THIS IS THE STATE'S FIRST ISSUE D I'M YET TO BE PERSUADED OF A CONSTITUTIONAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ACT, NOT BIDEN TO CODIFY ROE VERSUS WADE INTO LAW. BUT IN FAIRNESS, NOT REPUBLICANS EITHER TO CODIFY A DIFFERENT VISION INTO THE FEDERAL LAW EITHER. AND I THINK THAT IS HOW WE MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT LETTING US BE HELD HOSTAGE AT BEHEST OF NATIONAL DIVISION OVER THIS ONE ISSUE UNITE AMERICA ON THIS ISSUE. NO, THIS IS 1 ISSUE WHERE I'M NEVER GOING TO PROMISE TO UNITE ON THIS 1 ISSUE, BUT I CAN UNITE THIS COUNTRY DESPITE THIS ISSUE BY SPEAKING ABOUT IT AND STANDING FOR PROLIFE COMMITMENTS IN A WAY THAT ARE AUTHENTIC IN A WAY THAT I DON'T THINK WE IN THE PRO LIFE MOVEMENT HAVE YET COMPLETELY DONE. YOU'RE FROM HIGHLAND PARK, WHICH IS FAIRLY LIBERAL PART OF A FAIRLY LIBERAL STATE. >> DOES THAT ANSWER CHANGE ANY MINDS. YOU THINK NO. >> IT IT DOESN'T. IT'S AND I KNOW THAT AND I KNOW THAT. BUT HARD TO TELL. BUT HERE'S MY MISSION. I'M NOT I'M I'M NOT LOOKING TO CHANGE SOMEONE'S MIND ON WHERE THEY ARE APPORTIONED. BUT I AM UP TO CHANGE SOMEBODY'S MIND ON THIS. WE CAN STILL BE 1 NATION. EVEN AS WE DEEPLY DISAGREE ON OUR MOST FIRMLY HELD CONVICTIONS AND IF SOMEBODY TELLS ME THAT WE CAN'T. WELL, THEN I'M GOING TO PERSUADE THOSE PEOPLE AND BRING THEM ALL. AND SO NOTHING IN MY RESPONSE WAS IN THE 60 SECONDS THAT WE HAD DESIGN TO CONVINCE SOMEONE TO CHANGNGE THEIR MIND ON THE ABORTION ISSUE. BUT WHAT I STAND FOR FIRMLY AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS THAT WE WILL NOT LET THIS ISSUE OR ANY ONE ISSUE DIVIDE US TO A NATIONAL BREAKING POINT AND THAT DOES TAKE TALKING ABOUT AND LEADING ON THIS ISSUE ANYWAY. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. THE TRADITIONAL REPUBLICANS HAVE. ALL RIGHT TO YOUR LANE IS OUT ALMOST AS A MESSAGING PROBLEM FOR REPUBLICAN POLICY. SHOULD YOU RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEN. THAT'S POLICY THAT THE CENTER'S POLICY. YEAH. BUT SINCE DROPS. OKAY, AT THE STATE LEVEL THAT YOU POINT OUT. >> PROLIFE BALL INITIATIVES HAVE LOST OVERWHELMINGLY. NONE OF THE PRO-LIFE ISSUES HAVE ONE IN YOUR HOME STATE OF OHIO LAST WEEKEND OFF OFF YEAR. SPECIAL ELECTION ESSENTIALLY WITH A BALLOT INITIATIVE. THE PRO LIFE ISSUE. BUT LOST 57 40 THE RATE. YES. ALL RIGHT. HOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM MEANT FOR REPUBLICANS ON IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU CAN CONVINCE REPUBLICANS THAT YOU'RE RIGHT. AND AT ALL AND SWING VOTERS. THE RIGHT, WHY DOES THIS ISSUE KEEP BEING A BALL AND CHAIN AROUND REPUBLICANS. LOOK, MY VIEW IS THIS ISSUE IS PROPERLY SETTLED WHEN DOBBS OVERTURN ROE. THAT IS THE CORRECT CONSTITUTIONAL DECISION. THIS IS NOW AN ISSUE LEFT TO THE STATES. I WENT TO IOWA FOR FOR WHEN THEY SIGNED THEIR SIX-WEEK LEGISLATION INTO LAW MADE IT A POINT TO BE THERE BECAUSE THAT WAS A VICTORY FOR FEDERAL US PEOPLE WERE ELECTED BY WIDER AND WIDER MARGINS TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE SAYING EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO. AND THEN THEY GET IT AND CERTAIN OTHER STATES. OTHER MEASURES HAVE BEEN DEFEATED. THAT IS FEDERALISM. THAT IS WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS ENVISIONED. AND SO AM I DISAPPOINTED IN THAT OUTCOME IN OHIO. OF COURSE I AM AS A CITIZEN, BUT AS SOMEBODY WHO IS LOOKING TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY AS US PRESIDENT. I WILL HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IS THE WAY FEDERALISM WORKS. THAT IS HOW THE WAY DIVERSITY AMONGST STATES FLORIDA. SO BUT UP ABSOLUTELY NO FEDERAL INVOLVEMENT IN ABORTION POLICY, INCLUDING THE HYDE AMENDMENT. THAT'S CORRECT. I THINK THAT THE WANT SAY 1 ONE THING WITH THIS IN TERMS OF SIGNING A FEDERAL BAN. HERE'S WHAT I WILL SAY, THOUGH. FEDERAL FUNDING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD. FORGET ABOUT IT. FORGET ABOUT IT. I MEAN, THIS IS USE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO COME DOWN ON 1 SIDE OF A POLITICALLY CONTENTIOUS ISSUE WHERE THERE IS NO, FOR EXAMPLE, CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ALLOCATING THOSE FRONTS. SO I WILL HAVE PRO-LIFE POLICIES THAT I IMPLEMENT AS US PRESIDENT, BUT IT WILL BE FROM THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ACTUALLY CONSTITUTIONALLY AUTHORIZED TO DO LIKE CUTTING FUNDING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD, WHICH YOU HAD NO BUSINESS FUNDING IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN EITHER VERSE. WAIT OR SIGNING A FEDERAL ABORTION AND I KNOW HUGE, HUGE DIFFERENCE EVERY WAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHEN WE COME BACK, DONALD TRUMP HUNTER BIDEN AND THE LAW. PLUS, CAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES REALLY ORDERED THE MILITARY TO SEAL. . >> THE SOUTHERN TO THE BORDER AND IMMIGRATION. SINCE TIME BEGAN OR AT LEAST ELECTIONS BEGAN. >> THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN ISSUE NUMBER ONE FOR VOTERS WANT TO TURN NOW TO A QUESTION HERE IN CHICAGO, WE ON BLOCK SHOT WHO IS A TECH WORKER HERE ILLINOIS. >> GOOD EVENING, MISTER RAMASWAMY, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE IN CHICAGO. MY QUESTION IS WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TOP 3 PRIORITIES FOR THE ECONOMY. IF ELECTED. WELL, FIRST, LET'S SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR ECONOMY NOW IN A NUTSHELL HERE, IT IS. PRICES HAVE GONE UP. WAGES HAVE NOT BUSINESSES BOTH BIG AND SMALL CANNOT FIND PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY STAFF OPEN POSITIONS. WE HAVE OVER TWICE AS MANY JOB OPENINGS AS WE DO, PEOPLE LOOKING FOR WORK. THIS IS THE PROBLEM IN THE CAUGHT. HOW DO WE FIX IT? FIRST IS FIX INFLATION DRILL FRACK BURN COAL EMBRACE NUCLEAR ENERGY. THAT'S HOW WE DRIVE INFLATION DOWN. THAT'S HOW WE DRIVE GDP GROWTH. NO LONGER PAY PEOPLE TO STAY AT HOME RATHER THAN TO GO TO WORK. ATTACH WORK REQUIREMENTS TO WELFARE. THAT'S HOW WE BRING DOWN THE NATIONAL DEBT. IT'S ALSO HOW WE HELP ADDRESS THE OPEN POSITIONS IN THE ECONOMY. AND I ALSO THINK THAT WE NEED RADICAL REFORM OF THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? RESTORE DOLLARS STABILITY, PEG TO THE DOLLAR TO GOLD. SILVER NICKEL AND AGRICULTURAL AND FARM COMMODITIES TO STABILIZE THE DOLLAR. THAT'S HOW WE'LL SEE ACTUALLY REAL WAGE GROWTH RISE IN THIS COUNTRY. WITH THAT. WE'RE BACK TO 5. PLUS PERCENT GDP GROWTH. YOU KNOW WHAT, WE HAVE A MORE UNITED COUNTRY WHEN WE'RE ALL MAKING MORE MONEY IN THAT COUNTRY THAT MUCH WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER BY OF MY FIRST 18 MONTHS IN OFFICE. I WANT TO SEE IT. YOU'LL SEE IT BY 2026 HAS THE WE ARGUE. I WOULD. FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR QUESTIONS COMING FROM. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN EXPERIENCING IN ILLINOIS GRANTED A DEMOCRATICALLY RUN STATE WITH A HUGE DEBT PROBLEM OF ITS OWN. IN THE ECONOMY THAT MAKES THIS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU. WHWHY MUST DINITELY FEEL MYSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND ME IS EXPERIENCING UP. AS YOU MENTIONED, INFLATION. >> SO ACROSS THE BOARD, WHETHER BE THE PRICE OF FOOD UTILITIES A REAL ESTATE. THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM. FOR. >> IT'S IT'S GREAT TO BRING THAT UP BECAUSE THERE'S THIS NARRATIVE NOW THAT INFLATION RATES ARE COMING DOWN. DON'T BE FOOLED. AND I SUSPECT YOU WON'T BE BECAUSE YOU EXPERIENCE THE PRICES WHEN YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO MATCH ACTUAL BUDGET BECAUSE INFLATION IS CUMULATIVE. SO HERE'S THE HARD TRUTH PRICES TODAY ARE STILL 16% HIGHER. THEN WHEN BIDEN FIRST TOOK OFFICE. GET WAGE GROWTH IS FAR MORE STAGNANT. SO IN WAGES, STAY FLAT AND PRICES GO UP. PEOPLE SUFFER AS A CONSEQUENCE. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AND I THINK THAT THE UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBER BEING LOW IS ALSO A FALSE MIRAGE BECAUSE THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE REVERSE BUSINESSES BOTH SMALL AND LARGE CANNOT FIND ENOUGH WORKERS TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THEIR GROWTH. THESE ARE STRUCTURAL FAILURES IN THE ECONOMY. AND SO WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. BELIEVE ME. THAT'S NOT A GOOD TAKE A PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN TO GET THAT JOB DONE. MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO HAS ACTUALLY BUILT MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHO HAS EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE TO SEE THIS THROUGH. >> YOU. YOU SAID THERE'S A HARD TRUTH. YOUR OTHER THE OTHER HARD TRUTH IS THAT WE HAVE EXPLODING NATIONAL DEBT. YES, WE AND WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE. PRETTY CLEARLY. BUT THEN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS IS A POSSIBILITY IF INTEREST RATES STAY WHERE THEY ARE THAT THE INTEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT IS GOING TO BE MORE THAN THE TAX RECEIPT OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THAT IS ENTITLEMENT REFORM. MEDICARE SOCIAL SECURITY, POSSIBLY MEDICAID FOR. ARE YOU UP FOR THAT? I'M UP FOR THAT AFTER WE HAVE DELIVERED ECONOMIC GROWTH. WE'RE STARTING FROM A PLACE OF DEEP DISTRUST RIGHT NOW AND FOR GOOD REASON. SO THE FIRST STEP WE NEED TO TAKE IS ACTUALLY DELIVER GDP GROWTH. I CAN GET US BACK TO FOR I THINK 5 PLUS PERCENT GDP GROWTH COMPARED TO 1 POINT SOMETHING PERCENT NOW AFTER THAT, PEOPLE HAVE MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS, THEN WE CAN HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW FOR THE NEXT GENERATION NOT TOUCHING THE BENEFITS SENIORS NOW. BUT OUR NEXT GENERATION, HOW WE RATIONALIZE BY FIRST TAKING AIM AT THE BUREAUCRACY. THOSE ARE THE EASIEST SAVINGS WE CAN DERIVE. PLUS REQUIREMENTS FOR WELFARE. THAT GIVES US A BIG HEAD START ALL RIGHT. YOU HAVE MADE AN INCREDIBLE CAREER FOR YOURSELF BY BY BEING AN EXCELLENT EXCELLENT AMONG OTHER THINGS, SALESMAN AND WITH CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF AND CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY TO GET THINGS DONE. I WANT TO READ FROM YOU FOR YOU. A QUOTE FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES. OBVIOUSLY IT'S A NEW YORK TIMES, BUT YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING. MISTER RAMASWAMY'S ENTERPRISE MEAN YOU'RE FIRST, YOUR FIRST BUSINESS IS BEST KNOWN FOR SPECTACULAR FAILURE AS A 29 YEAR-OLD THE BOLD IDEA 19 THE CONNECTIONS HE ENGINEERED WHAT WAS AT THE TIME THE LARGEST INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING THE BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES HISTORY ONLY TO SEE THE ALZHEIMER DRUG AT THE CENTER FAILED 2 YEARS LATER AND THE COMPANY'S VALUE TANKED. BUT MISTER RAMASWAMY NOW 37 MADE A FORTUNE ANYWAY. YEAH. I CAN ADDRESS THAT. CAN. BUT LET ME JUST 0 DOT. >> YOU USE OLD INVESTORS ON ON THE ALZHEIMER'S DRUG AND YOU'RE SELLING PEOPLE HERE THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE 5% GDP GROWTH. >> WHAT DID YOU LEARN? >> FROM PAST FAILURES. MAKE YOU YOUR CURRENT PROMISES. MORE BELIEVABLE. WELL, IT'S GREAT QUESTION. AND BELIEVE ME, I THINK THAT FAILURE IS PART OF WHAT MAKES EVERY ENTREPRENEUR STRONGER 99.7% OF DRUGS EVER TESTED FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE HAVE FAILED BY BIG PHARMA AND SMALL MY DRUG FOR ALZHEIMER'S WAS NOT AN EXCEPTION ON THAT. HOWEVER, HERE'S HOW I DID ACHIEVE MY SUCCESS. THAT BUILT THE FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING 5 FDA APPROVED MEDICINES 1 LIFESAVING THERAPY IN KIDS ANOTHER FOR PROSTATE CANCER, FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS UTERINE FIBROID PSORIASIS AND ALL IN MY 7 YEARS AS A BUYER TAKE CEO. SO WHAT I LEARNED FROM THAT HARDSHIP IS NOT A CHOICE. PART SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU. VICTIMHOOD IS A CHOICE AND WE CHOOSE NOT TO BE VICTIMS. WE CHOOSE TO BE VICTORIOUS. I THINK THAT IS THE LESSON FOR AMERICA WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES. NOW WE ARE A NATION IN HARDSHIP, BUT WE SHOULD NOT CHOOSE TO COWER THAT HARDSHIP THAT CAN MAKE US STRONGER. MY COMPANY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AS STRONG AS IT WAS HAVE WE NOT THE EXPERIENCE OF DEVELOPING THAT DRUG FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND IT WAS MANY OF THOSE SAME PEOPLE THAT HELPED DELIVER LIFESAVING MEDICINES AND LIFE CHANGING MEDICINES FOR OTHER DISEASES THAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT THIS AMERICAN STORY IS ALL ABOUT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, CAPITALISM IS THE BEST SYSTEM KNOWN TO MAN TO LIFT PEOPLE UP FROM POVERTY. MY FATHER WAS FACING LAYOFFS UNDER JACK WELCH'S TENURE AT GE HAD TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL AT NIGHT TO HELP MAKE THE ENDS MEET AT HOME. HERE I AM A SINGLE GENERATION LATER BUILDING MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES BY DEVELOPING LIFESAVING MEDICINES AND BY THE WAY, BUILDING A SEPARATE SUCCESSFUL ASSET MANAGEMENT FIRM. THAT'S THE AMERICAN DREAM THAT I WANT TO SHOW EVERY KID IN THIS COUNTRY IS POSSIBLE. THAT'S ALSO, BY THE WAY, HOW WE'LL GET BACK TO 5 PLUS PERCENT GDP GROWTH. YOUR DAD GOING NIGHT SCHOOL FOR LAW SCHOOL HAD A BIG IMPRESSION ON YOU DIDN'T. IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY IT SHOWED ME THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT? COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HARDSHIPS THAT YOU FACE. YOU FIND WAYS TO DEAL WITH. MY MOM ON CERTAIN NIGHTS WERE TAKE MY BROTHER AND I TO GO PLAY THE PIANO IN THE NURSING HOMES WHERE SHE WAS TREATING PATIENTS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. JUST GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIST THAT HAD AN INFLUENCE ON ME. IN FACT, THERE'S SOMETHING I DID WHEN I THE PRESIDENCY. 33 I'LL BE 48 YEARS OLD. SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THINGS I STILL WANT TO COME BACK TO DOING IT. IT'S NOBODY ELSE'S FIGURED OUT THE MEANTIME, YOU SEE IF WE CAN'T DELIVER A TREATMENT. DARE I SAY A CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. THAT IS WHAT WE DO AS AMERICANS. WE ARE THE PIONEERS. WE ARE THE EXPLORERS. NOBODY STOPS US FROM REALIZING OUR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL, THE GREATEST POSITIVE IMPACT. WE CAN HAVE FOR ME IT'S JUST THAT THE NEXT STEP THAT HAS TO BE TO REVIVING THE NATIONAL SO RIGHT THAT COMES TO THE PRESIDENCY. SPEAKING OF HARDSHIP. A FEW PEOPLE IN AMERICA. I MEAN, DEALING WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN HAWAII RIGHT NOW WITH THE 100 DEAD, POSSIBLY MORE. >> I DID AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION, SOMETHING DID NOT NECESSARILY GET A LOT OF NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION ASIDE FROM HERE ON NEWS NATION IS THE DISASTER IN PALESTINE OHIO, YOUR YOUR HOME STATE. HILLARY FLINT LIVES NEAR THE DISASTER SITE WHERE THE TRAIN DERAILED AND SPILLED MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF TOXIC CHEMICALS AND IS WITH US IN STUDIO TONIGHT. THANK YOU. >> SO OVER 6 MONTHS AGO, A TRAIN DERAILED LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE IN EDEN VALLEY PENNSYLVANIA. I THEN SELF EVACUATED ABOUT 20 MILES INTO BEAVER COUNTY AND THAT SAME EVENING, THE SHELL PLASTICS PLANT FLARED AND EXPOSE. IT EXPOSE ME A CANCER SURVIVOR TO EVEN MORE. KRISTEN ENGINES. NOW THOSE SAME COMPANIETHAT HAVE POISE IN MYSELF. MY COMMUNITY, MY HOME ARE IN CHARGE OF TAKING CARE OF US THERE IN CHARGE OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITHIN PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO. SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, AS A MULTIMILLIONAIRE. HOW ARE YOU GONNA PROTECT EVERYDAY AMERICANS LIKE NEED FROM BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES. >> WELL, LOOK, I THINK THAT I'M AIMING TO DO IT AS YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. BUT IT'S INTERESTING YOU DID BRING UP MY FINANCIAL SUCCESS WHEN THAT HAPPENED IN EAST PALESTINE. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WISH PEOPLE SAY DON'T GO THERE AND VISIT. WHAT AM I GOING TO SHOWING UP. THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. DON'T THINK TALKED ABOUT THIS PUBLICLY BEFORE. BUT MY FAMILY MADE $100,000 DONATION TO THE RECOVERY EFFORTS. JUST BECAUSE THAT WAS THE LEAST WE COULD DO FOR OUR OWN HOME STATE. AND YET WE FEEL STILL FELT LIKE WE WERE STRUGGLING AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF A FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY FAIL TO SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION. PETE BUTTIGIEG WILL WAX ELOQUENT ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE WITHOUT EVEN TAKING THE TIME TO VISIT OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE ACTUAL CATASTROPHE UNTIL COST HIM POLITICAL POINTS. THE REALITY IS EVEN NOW IN NOW. OUR FELLOW HAWAIIANS, OUR FELLOW CITIZENS ALL LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES AS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SINCE 2 100 BILLION DOLLARS TO PROTECT SOMEBODY ELSE'S BORDER FROM AN INVASION. WHEN WE HAVE PROBLEMS RIGHT HERE AT HOME. WE'RE DOING MORE FOR UKRAINIAN INFRASTRUCTURE. THEN WE ARE FOR US INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS COUNTRY. SO BIG PART OF WHAT I'VE SAID IS WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE INTERESTS OF AMERICANS FIRST. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE IN UKRAINE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY THE DEEP STATE UKRAINE. OUR OWN TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING TO PAY THEM. LET'S ACTUALLY REBUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS COUNTRY WITH THOSE SAME DOLLARS, NOT WITH TAX INCREASES BUT WITH BETTER USES OF THE DOLLARS THAT WE'RE USING TO NATION BUILD SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT NATION BUILDING. WE HAVE A NATION TO REBUILD RIGHT HERE BACK AT HOME. THAT'S WHAT I STAND FOR. AND BY THE WAY, AS IT RELATES TO THOSE RAILROAD COMPANIES OTHERWISE. AND THE CRONY CAPITALISM AND CORRUPTION MANY OF THEM ARE AKSING ELOQUENT ABOUT ESG AND CLIMATE CHANGE. HOW ABOUT JUST TAKING CARE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY RUNNING THROUGH. AND WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF CENTRAL OHIO AND WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THEN TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE UNTIL THEN, TAKE CARE OF YOUR JOB HERE AT HOME TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT YOU'RE AFFECTING ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA FOLLOW UP ON THAT FOR THAT THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT WILL GET TO UKRAINE IN A SECOND. BUT JUST QUICKLY, YOU'RE PROPOSING TO GOT A NUMBER OF THE THREE-LETTER AGENCIES. THAT'S RIGHT. OUR WHOSE JOB IT IS TO PROTECT. >> EAST PALESTINE. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M PROPOSING PROPOSING TO GOT THEM PRECISELY BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN PROTECTING PLACES HAVE FAILED REPEATEDLY. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IF SOMEBODY BROKE THE KEYS TO YOUR GOVERNMENT. BOTH THE CAR YOU KNOW, TURN OVER THE KEYS TO THE GUY WHO BROKE WITH GOING TO DO IT. WELL, I THINK ACTUALLY I WOULD JUST TAKE THAT MONEY. HERE'S A GENERAL BLUEPRINT FOR HOW RUN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM HEALTH CARE TO EDUCATION POLICY, EVEN TO OTHER AREAS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. . TAKE THOSE SAVING AND PUT THAT MONEY BACK IN THE POCKETS OUR CITIZENS JUST SEND HIM A TAX FRFREE CHECIF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES. EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY WILL BE STRICTLY BETTER OFF THEN TO FEED THE BEAST OF OUR LEVIATHAN AND BUREAUCRACY IN THE MEANTIME, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW WE DRIVE CHANGE. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE AN HOUR AND YOU'VE GOTTEN WORD THAT I DON'T KNOW THE LEVIATHAN. YES, THE LEVIATHAN IS THOMAS HOBBES WORD 400 YEARS AGO FOR THE MONSTER, THE BEAST, THE LEVIATHAN TODAY IS THOSE 3 LETTER MONSTROUS AGENCIES THAT REALLY QUASH THE WILL OF EVERYDAY CITIZENS. ALL RIGHT. WHAT THOMAS HOBBES ENVISION 400 YEARS AGO. THAT'S WHAT GAVE INSPIRATION TO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS TO WRITE A CONSTITUTION THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, WHAT. WE THE PEOPLE. CREATE A GOVERNMENT THAT IS ACCOUNTABLE TO NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THAT IS THE AMERICAN WAY AND. THE ONLY PEOPLE CALL ME EXTREME TIMES. GUILTY AS CHARGED. ALL RIGHT. THE AMERICAN IDEALS THAT FOUNDED THIS COUNTRY. THEY ARE EXTREME IDEALS NUMBER. MOST OF OTHER WEATHER. MOST RADICAL IDEA THAT EVER. EVER BEEN DONE EXACTLY. SO LET'S EMBRACE THAT RADICALISM AND SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY ONE PART OF AMERICA THAT HAS ALSO BEEN RADICALS ARE WILLINGNESS TO HELP OUR ALLIES. >> BROUGHT OR MORE ONE WORLD WAR 2, WE WERE ATTACKED. BUT THEN WE WENT TO WAR AS WELL. >> WE WENT TO WAR PEARL HARBOR WAS BOMBED. RIGHT. AND YES, YOU MESS WITH US ON OUR HOMELAND. WE WILL COME FOR YOU. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR WORLD WAR 1, ALSO GOT IT. WE ALSO WENT INTO NATO. >> OK AND AGREED TO PROTECT OUR ALLIES. IT'S SOMETHING THAT AMERICA HAS DONE THAT UNIQUE TO AMERICA TO SPREAD, NOT OUR AND EXPAND AROUND TEAR PROHIBITED SPEND SPEND. >> EXPAND FREEDOM. YOU BROUGHT A DIRECT PARALLEL BETWEEN AD EAST PALESTINE AD AD UKRAINE. WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT. THAT IS UNIQUE PRETTY MUCH NOT ONLY IN THE REPUBLICAN FIELD BUT IN THE PRESIDENTIAL FIELD. IS WELL. >> IS YOUR COMMENTS NOT BOLDING SOMEONE WHO HAS A LARGE NUCLEAR ARSENAL AND HE'S PUBLICLY STATED HIS GOALS, OUR TO TAKE OVER MORE LAND AND POTENTIALLY ATTACK US ALLIES. THE ANSWER THAT QUESTION IS NO. HERE'S HOW I ACTUALLY DEFINE PEACE IN UKRAINE. WE WIWILL DO A AL. AND A GOOD DEAL. EVERYBODY HAS TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE DEAL. I'LL START WITH PUTIN GETS OUT OF THE DEAL. WE WILL FREEZE THE CURRENT LINES OF CONTROL JUST LIKE WE DID AT THE END OF THE KOREAN WAR. WE WILL FURTHER MAKE A COMMITMENT THAT NATO WILL NOT ADMIT UKRAINE TO NATO. REMEMBER JAMES BAKER TOLD GORBACHEV IN 1990 THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE NATO EXPAND ONE INCH BEYOND GERMANY. WELL, LOOK, WE'VE DONE SINCE IN RETURN, THOUGH I WILL REQUIRE THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN EXIT HIS MILITARY PARTNERSHIP WITH CHINA. THE RUSSIA-CHINA MILITARY PARTNERSHIP OUT MATCHES THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES ON HYPERSONIC MISSILES ON CHINA'S NAVAL CAPACITIES. ALL THE WHILE A COUNTRY IN CHINA. WE DEPEND ON FOR OUR MODERN WAY OF LIFE. AND WORST OF ALL THROUGH THE UKRAINE WAR. WE'RE ACTUALLY PUSHING RUSSIA FURTHER INTO CHINA'S HANDS. SO I WILL END THAT WAR ON TERMS THAT ADVANCE AMERICAN INTERESTS. THIS IS ALSO HOW WILL YOU JUST YOU JUST SAID YOU MAKE A DEAL VLADIMIR PUT. YES, I WAS WHO NEVER MADE A DEAL THAT HE'S LIVED UP TO. >> BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BACKSTOP TO WITH THE PROPER SELF-INTEREST. I DON'T TRUST VLADIMIR PUTIN. BUT I TRUST HIM TO FOLLOW HIS SELF-INTEREST. AND IF WE REOPEN ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA IF WE HAVE ACTUALLY MADE A HARD COMMITMENT THAT NATO WILL NOT ADMIT UKRAINE TO NATO. HE WILL HAVE NO REASON TO BE IN THAT MILITARY PARTNERSHIP WITH CHA. HE DOESN'T ENJOY BEING XI JINPING'S LITTLE BROTHER. HE WANTS TO ACTUALLY HAVE A TRILATERAL WORLD ORDER, NOT A BILATERAL ONE THAT FAVORS CHINA WHERE HE'S A LITTLE STEPSON. SO THE REALITY IS I CAN TRUST HIM TO FOLLOW HIS SELF INTEREST BY THE WAY, JUST LIKE NIXON DID FOR MAO IN 1972 ALL RIGHT. I'M SPEAKING AT THE NIXON LIBRARY LATER THIS WEEK LAYING OUT THIS IS A REVERSE NIXON MANEUVER. WE DIDN'T TRUST NOW, BUT WE TRUSTED HIM TO FOLLOW A SELF INTEREST. WE SHOULDN'T TRUST BUT WE CAN TRUST HIM TO FOLLOW HIS SELF INTEREST AND HE CAN TRUST US TO FOLLOW HOURS. AND THAT'S WHY I THINK I WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN LEADING THIS COUNTRY. IF I'M HONEST WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD AS THEY WILL BE WITH ALL OF YOU THAT I STAND UNAPOLOGETICALLY FOR AMERICA'S INTERESTS. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MAY SOUND BAD TO SOME PEOPLE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE, BUT THEY KNOW THEY CAN BELIEVE IT. THEY KNOW IT'S HONEST. THAT'S EXACTLY HOW YOU CAN MAKE DEALS IF YOU'RE DOING BASED ON HONEST TERMS. YOU HAVE CERTAINLY SHOWN ABILITY TO SPEAK YOUR MIND DURING THE CAMPAIGN AND BE BE CLEAR AND BE BOLD. >> SOME OF OTHER BOLD SUGGESTIONS ARE ABOUT THE BORDER. COREY HOWARD, HE'S BEEN IMPACTED BY THE SOUTHERN BOBORDER CRIS. IT IS 1200 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE WE ARE HERE. I IN CHICAGO, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY A COUPLE YEARS AGO CORE YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D BE TALKING ABOUT THE BORDER IS SOMETHING COMING HERE TO YOU. NO, I DIDN'T. SIR. >> GOOD EVENING OF THE VICTIMS FOR ME. I LIVE IN THE WOODLAWN NEIGHBORHOOD IN CHICAGO WHEN I TO SCHOOL CLOSE BY THE CITY YEARS AGO. IT'S NOW BEING USED TO HOUSE MIGRANTS COMMUNITY HAS EXPERIENCED MIGRANTS ASSAULTS VANDALISM. A PERSONAL PROPERTY AND THE POLICING BLING TO DO WITH THIS CONCERN. YOU HAVE COMMENT TO USE THE U.S. MILITARY ON THE BORDER TO CURB THIS. HOW WILL YOU RESPOND CONGRESS AS OPPOSED TO THIS COURSE OF ACTION. >> WHICH HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH SCHOOL WAS WORTH WATCH WITH OKAY. SO I VISITED SOUTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL. ALSO HERE IN CHICAGO, THE SAME THING'S HAPPENING OVER THERE. BY THE WAY, WENT TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO. WHAT JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. NOT A VERY POPULAR STOP ON THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN TRAIL. ALL SAY, BUT I'M GLAD I WENT THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THAT COMMUNITY ARE ASKING SAME QUESTION. BUT I'D BE ASKING IN THEIR SHOES. I AM ASKING NOW, WHY ARE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS WHO BREAK THE LAW TO COME HERE BEING HOUSED AT A HIGH SCHOOL AT THE COST OF $7,000 PER MIGRANT PER MONTH. WE'RE NOT DOING VERY MUCH FOR THAT COMMUNITY RIGHT HERE AT HOME. SO, YES, I BELIEVE THE WALL HAS BEEN INSUFFICIENT. I DO THINK WE NEED TO FINISH BUILDING THE WALL. BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. THEY'RE BUILDING CARTEL FINANCED TUNNELS UNDERNEATH THAT WALL BRINGING FENTANYL ILLEGAL MIGRANTS CRIMINALS INTO THIS COUNTRY. DAILY BY THE THOUSANDS. SO, YES, SAID THAT I WILL USE THE MILITARY TO PROTECT, NOT INVASION ACROSS SOMEBODY ELSE'S BORDER HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD. BUT TO PROTECT AGAINST THE INVASION. INCREASINGLY EVEN THE ARMED INVASION CARTEL GUNMAN INCLUDED ACROSS OUR OWN SOUTHERN BORDER. I BELIEVE I WILL DO THIS AS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF WITHOUT ASKING CONGRESS EITHER FOR PERMISSION OR FOR FORGIVENESS BECAUSE ON THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF NAVAL STATION. OUR TROOPS NOT IN PLACES BY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS LIKE WE HAVE IN GERMANY TODAY. ONE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD WHERE THEY'RE NOT REALLY DOING MUCH OF GREAT USE AND THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR MILITARY. THEY WILL AND SHOULD BE PROUD PROTECTING OUR NATION RIGHT HERE AT HOME. THAT'S MY MODERN FOREIGN POLICY. A MODERN MONROE DOCTRINE WHICH SAYS THAT YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON OUR OWN HOME TURF OR IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. AND IF YOU DO IN CHINA IS DOING ITS CHINESE MADE FENTANYL TO THE SYNTHETIC MATERIALS OF THE DRUG CARTELS ARE USING TO MAKE ALL OF THE PUMPING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN BORDER. NOT YOU DON'T MESS WITH US HERE. WE WILL DEFEND. AND I THINK OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE HAS BEEN SKEWED FOR LAST 20 YEARS GOING TO PLAY OFFENSE, FIND SOMEBODY ELSE'S WAR UNDER MY WATCH. OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING ONCE AGAIN GO TOWARDS DEFENSE OF THE HOMELAND PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS RIGHT HERE AT HOME. THE COREY, I SEE YOU SMILE AND YOU THINK A REPUBLICAN HAS A CHANCE IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO. >> I THINK A LOT OF CONSTITUENTS IN CHICAGO WOULD WELCOME A DIFFERENT COURSE OF ACTION. >> YOU GOT A HAIRCUT DOWN THERE DIDN'T. I THINK YET. MAYBE ACTION GO DOWN THERE ABOUT HERE A LITTLE LONGER. GOT THE GAME. I COREY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. STILL AHEAD, MISTER RAMASWAMY WEIGHS IN ON THE TRUMP INDICTMENTS. THE BREAKING NEWS FROM EARLIER AND HUNTER BIDEN INVESTIGATION SEE A MINUTE. WELCOME BACK. WE TOLD YOU EARLIER A GRAND JURY HAS INDICTED PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> FOR THE. >> GRANDND JURY CHART. THE GRAN JURY DID NOT VOTE AGAINST ANY OF THE TRUMP INDICTMENT PRESENTED TONIGHT BY THE FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY FANNIE WILLS. WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE ACTUAL INDICTMENT TO BE MADE PUBLIC AND FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO IS NAMED AND WHAT THE CHARGES ARE. BUT THERE IS EXPECTATION THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS ONE OF THOSE NAMED IN THE INDICTMENTS. MISTER RAMASWAMY AS PRESIDENT, YOU WILL HAVE SOME JOINT TOUGH CHOICES TO MAKE WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR NEXT QUESTION FROM CAROLINE MORELL, RETIRED OFFICE MANAGER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SHE HAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE PREVIOUS FEDERAL INDICTMENTS AGAINST THE FORMER PRESSED. >> GOOD EVENING. YOU SAID AS PRESIDENT IF TRUMP WAS CONVICTED THAT YOU WOULD PARDON HIM IN DOING SO. HOW WOULD YOU EXPECT TO WORK WITH CONGRESS THAT SO DIVIDED ALREADY. >> LOOK, I THINK THAT WE HAVE A MAJOR TASK AHEAD OF US IN REUNITING THIS COUNTRY. AND I THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT MAJOR ISSUE, ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE ACTUALLY DO PARDON DONALD TRUMP WHO AN OPPONENT OF MINE IN THIS ELECTION. I THINK I'M GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO SAY PRECISELY BECAUSE HE IS AN OPPONENT. WE HAVE TO STAND ON THE SIDE OF PRINCIPLE. WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD AS A COUNTRY. I THINK IF WE REMAIN A NATION WELL, WHOEVER IS IN POWER IS USING POLICE FORCE AGAINST ITS POLITICAL RIVALS. THAT'S A DANGEROUS DOWNWARD SLIDE FOR A NATION. AND I THINK THAT CONGRESS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE LAST PLACES WE SEE NATIONAL UNITY. BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE NATIONAL UNITY FIRST IS BUBBLE UP FROM WE THE PEOPLE. I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY I'VE BEEN TO MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE MANY TIMES. LOVE HIS NEW GUYS IN THE GRANITE STATE. IF YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORS OR YOUR COLLEAGUES CLASSMATES. I THINK MOST OF THEM BELIEVE IN THE SAME VALUES THAT THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED OUT FREE SPEECH SELF-GOVERNANCE MERITOCRACY. I THINK YOU BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THEM DO TOO. BUT YOU CAN'T BE SURE ANYMORE BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL FREE TO TALK ABOUT IT. SO ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO START TALKING OPENLY. WE WILL REALIZE THAT THIS COUNTRY IS FAR MORE UNITED. THEN THE MEDIA OR SOCIAL MEDIA WILL HAVE US BELIEVE. I THINK AT THE TOP IT TAKES A PRESIDENT WHO SAYS WE'RE DONE WITH THE BICKERING WE'RE DONE WITH THE WEAPONIZATION OF POLICE POWER WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AS 1 NATION. AND ONCE THE PRESIDENT'S ABLE TO DO THAT. WE 7 NATIONAL OWN WHERE I HAVE FULL FAITH IN THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO TAKE CARE OF THE REST. UP TO IT. HOW TO MAKE. >> HAHA. I THINK WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. BUT LET'S UNPACK WHAT THIS WOULD INVOLVE PARTNERING DONALD TRUMP. OBVIOUSLY THE GEORGIA STUFF IS OUTSIDE THE REALM OF OF WHAT A PRESIDENT. >> I COULD DO. BUT YOU BEEN ALL OVER. >> THE MAP REALLY ABOUT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. I KNOW THE PAST. I JUST SORT OF ACTUALLY OK, WELL, BUT WE'LL YOU'VE SAID THE THIS PASSAGE I'M ABOUT TO READ FROM YOUR BOOK. YOU WERE YOU WERE JOKING. I'VE READ IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE YOU ARE. YOU'RE A OF THESE THINGS. SO THAT'S OKAY. GET WAS A DARK DAY FOR DEMOCRACY MARINE THE PAST. YEAH. ABOUT TALKING ABOUT JANUARY THE LOSER OF THE LAST ELECTION REFUSED TO CONCEDE THE RACE CLAIM THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN BASE. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF SUPPORTERS AND CONSIDERING RUNNING FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICE AGAIN. I'M REFERRING, OF COURSE, TO DONALD. >> IS THAT SOMEONE WHO YOU CAN STILL SAY. >> IS A MAN WHO YOU WOULD RESPECT AND BELIEVE IS AN ADVISER AND A MAN OF HONOR AND COMMITMENT TO THE AMERICA THAT YOU SAY IS SO IMPORTANT FROM 17 76. YES. SO FIRST OF ALL, THAT PASSED IN THE BOOK WAS AN IDENTICAL QUOTE, WHERE THE DONALD TRUMP WAS ACTUALLY FILLED IN FOR STACEY ABRAMS. >> AND WE JUST OPPOSED THE 2 PARAGRAPHS. BUT BUT THAT'S ONE SIDE OF MATTER. THE REAL POINT IS WELL HUMAN BEINGS. OKAY. WE'RE NOT A NATION OF GODS WERE NOT GOVERNED BY GODS WERE GOVERNED BY FLAWED HUMAN BEINGS. ALL OF US ARE FLAWED HUMAN BEINGS. BUT A BAD JUDGMENT IS NOT THE SAME THING AS A CRIME. WHAT I HAVE MADE DIFFERENT JUDGMENTS. THEN DONALD TRUMP MADE. ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD HAVE. I WILL REMIND YOU THAT I'M RUNNING FOR US PRESIDENT TO LEAD OUR NATION FORWARD BECAUSE I BELIEVE I'M THE BEST POSITION INDIVIDUAL IN THIS RACE TO DO IT. BUT I THINK SEPARATELY IT IS A BAD PRECEDENT THAT WE SET WHEN WE TRY TO LOCK UP THOSE POLITICAL OPPONENTS. THAT'S BAD FOR THE COUNTRY AND IT'S MY VIEW THAT, YES, DONALD TRUMP WAS A SUCCESSFUL PRESIDENT. AT LEAST MADE PROGRESS ON THE BORDER CRISIS. THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO RECOGNIZE OPENLY NEITHER MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY. THE THREATS POSED BY CHINA. I THINK HIS DEFEAT OF HILLARY CLINTON WAS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL MILESTONE OF THE 21ST CENTURY POSSIBLY IN MY LIFETIME. WE DO NOT HAVE A MAJOR WAR. WE'RE NOT MARCHING TOWARDS A MAJOR WAR AS WE ARE POTENTIALLY NOW WE'RE POTENTIALLY ON THE BRINK OF 1 FOR NORTH KOREA AT THE TIME THAT BARACK OBAMA LEFT US WITH THAT NEXT. AND SO YES, I JUDGE A PRESIDENT BY THE RESULTS. DOES THAT MEAN HE'S PERFECT. OF COURSE HE'S NOT. AND I THINK THERE ARE AREAS TO IMPROVE, BUT THAT IS A VERY DIFFERENT STATEMENT THAN SAYING THAT HE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR WIDE ARRAY OF CRIMES WHICH I THINK IS NOT GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY. AND SO, YES, I STAND ON THE SIDE OF PRINCE. SO POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. DAY ONE, YOU'RE GOING TO PARDON DONALD TRUMP. I WILL OK. >> REASONABLE. PEOPLE COULD PROBABLY AGREE THAT IF HUNTER BIDEN WAS HUNTER SMITH, HE WOULD NOT BE BEING CHARGED WITH THESE 2 TAX CHARGES AND CERTAINLY NOT BEING CHARGED ON THE GUN CHARGE AND CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR LOOKING INTO. I WOULD STOP YOU RIGHT THERE ON THIS 1. POINT. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT REASONABLE PEOPLE WOULD SAY. I THINK REASONABLE PEOPLE SAY THAT THIS GUY WHO'S UNDERQUALIFIED EVEN TO HOLD A JOB AT A LOCAL FAST FOOD CHAIN IS SOMEHOW EARNING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SITTING ON THE BOARD OF A UKRAINIAN ENERGY COMPANY WITH NO EXPERTISE IN THE ENERGY SECTOR AND USING IN TRADING ON HIS FATHER'S NAME TO ENRICH HIS FAMILY THE SAME COUNTRY THAT IS NOW GETTING 2 100 BILLION DOLLARS OF TAX RATE. WHEN THAT SAME FATHER'S PRESIDENT CITING THAT'S WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY ALL I I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. IF WE'RE TO BRING AMERICA TOGETHER. >> ON DAY ONE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO PARDON DONALD TRUMP AND PRINCIPAL IS MORE IMPORTANT IN BRINGING AMERICA TOGETHER IS MORE IMPORTANT. WHY WOULD YOU ALSO PARDON 100 BY WOULD USE MY VIEW ON THIS. AND I'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR ON THIS. THERE CAN BE NO RECONCILIATION WITHOUT TRUTH. THAT HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY WITH A LOT OF THOSE BRIBES WAS SENSOR TO SYSTEMATICALLY ON THE EVE OF THE 2020 ELECTION THAT IS WRONG. IT IS A STAIN ON OUR NATIONAL HISTORY. NOW WE HAVE A U.S. PRESIDENT THAT IS INEXPLICABLY PROVIDING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO OUR MONEY TO THE VERY NATION WHO STATE AFFILIATED COMPANY BRIBED THAT PRESIDENT'S FAMILY MEMBER, HIS OWN SON. SO WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT. I SUPPORT THAT. BUT HERE'S WHAT ELSE. WHAT I WHAT I WILL SAY. LITTLE. AS US PRESIDENT. WHEN I GET TO JANUARY 21ST 2025, MY SECOND DAY IN OFFICE AFTER A PART DONALD TRUMP AFTER A PARDON. MANY OF THE OTHER VICTIMS OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PROSECUTIONS. PROSECUTION AFTER WE WON IN A LANDSLIDE ELECTION ON OUR PAST TO REUNITE THIS COUNTRY AND LEAD THIS NATION FORWARD. AM I GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON THE BIDEN FAMILY OR AM I GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON AMERICAN FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY. I CHOOSE FOCUS ON AMERICAN FAMILIES. THAT'S GOING TO BE MY AGENDA, NOT PURSUING A POLITICIZED PROSECUTION EITHER. AND THAT'S WHERE I STAND ON THE SIDELINES. YOU SAY, THOUGH, NOT FOCUS, DOES THAT MEAN YOU TELL YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL. WE'RE DONE. LET'S MOVE ON OR DOES THAT MEAN THAT IF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS TO INVESTIGATE. I WOULD BUY FACTS. I THINK WE NEED TO GET TO THE FACTS. THERE CAN BE NO RECONCILIATION WITHOUT TRUTH. THE VIEW OF THE POLICE TO HOW HOW WE CAN GET TO THE FACT IT'S NOT YOUR PRIORITY. WELL, WE HAVE WE HAVE TO ULTIMATELY I DO SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AND BIDEN FOR THESE CHARGES ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE FUNDS BEING SENT TO UKRAINE NOW WHICH ARE REPAYMENT OF A BRIBE. I DO SUPPORT VIGOROUS INVESTIGATION INTO HUNTER BIDEN'S DEALINGS. WE CANNOT HAVE A GOVERNMENT OR FOREIGN ADVERSARIES ARE BUYING AND EFFECTIVELY PAYING FOR POLICIES FROM OUR US PRESIDENTS AS PUPPETS. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. SO I DO SUPPORT THE INVESTIGATIONS IN GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUTH. BUT WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT PARDONS WITH THERE HASN'T EVEN BEEN AN INDICTMENT UNDER BIDEN. THERE HAVE BEEN SO WE GET MORE NOW AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. THAT'S THE REAL QUESTION. THIS WILL GET US TO THE LIGHTNING ROUND AND I WILL START RIGHT THERE SO ALL SAY PHRASE, WORDS, WHATEVER COMMUTE, BUT CANCER FIRST THING, IT SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOU THINK TRUMP WOULD BE CONVICTED IF YOU PART. I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO THE BUT IF HE IS CONVICTED OF THESE POLITICIZED PROSECUTIONS IN THE INTEREST OF MOVING THIS COUNTRY FORWARD. YES, I WILL PARDON. ALL RIGHT. SO FUTURE ANSWERS, EVEN SHORTER. OK, ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO. LIGHTNING ROUND A PICK. FIRST WORDS THAT COME TO MIND. HE CAN FOLLOW. WE CAN TRUST HIM TO FOLLOW HIS SELF-INTEREST. BUT HE IS NOT A FRIEND TO THIS NATION. SOLENSKY. DIRECT ITS MOST DIRECT GIVEN. ALL RIGHT. WE'VE ALL RIGHT. YOU HAVE 2 SONS DAUGHTERS NAMEIF YOU HAD ONE. I WOULDN'T REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT ACTUALLY MAYBE LUX ME ALL RIGHT. DOES THAT SOME CERTAIN MEANING IT DOES. YEAH. SHE'S OUR FAITH. A SYMBOL AND GOT PROSPERITY. ALL RIGHT. SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. I THINK LOVES HIS SON. AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT LIGHTLY. I THINK HE'S A FATHER WHO LOVES HIS SON AND THAT SMALL ELEMENT OF A DEEPLY FLAWED MAN. I CAN STILL RESPECT THAT. ALL RIGHT. DO YOU THINK HE IS AT LEAST TRYING HARD OR JUST TRYING FROM SELF. I THINK HE IS BARELY CAPABLE IN MAKING DECISIONS AS A HUMAN BEING AT HIS AGE TO FORM OF ELDER ABUSE. LET THEY'RE REALLY PUTTING HIM THROUGH. IT'S REALLY THE MANAGERIAL CLASS PULLING THE STRINGS OF THEIR POP. IT JOE BIDEN, JUST A POP. ALL RIGHT. MALONEY, PRIME MINISTER OF ITALY. STRONG. GOOD LIKE HER MET HER GET COPY OF WOKING HOPES YOU READ DUE BACK SUMMER AFTER GIVE IT I CAN REMEMBER BUT THERE'S BEEN KIND OF BUT I SUPPORT A LEADER WHO STANDS FOR THE NATIONAL IDENTITY OF HER NATION. WHAT WE'RE MISSING IN THIS COUNTRY IS A NATIONAL LEADER WHO STANDS FOR THE IDENTITY OF OUR NATION. THAT'S WHAT I'M BRINGING TO THE TABLE. ALL RIGHT. YOU ARE FROM CINCINNATI. I'M FROM ST. LOUIS. WE ARE IN CHICAGO. I'M SURE THERE'S SOME JOKES TO BE MADE ABOUT THE CARDINALS, THE REDS IN IN THE COPS. BUT ALL FRIEND JUST FOR A MINUTE FAVORITE FLAVOR OF GRADERS, ICE CREAM. I LIKE. THAT'S PRETTY COOKIES AND CREAM IS PRETTY GOOD. CAME ITS PAY BASIC. NOT YOU, NOT BLACK START WITH THE FUNDAMENTALS. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THERE WE GO. WHAT IS MORE LIKELY BENGALS GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL OR THE REDS TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES OR, YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE BENGALS GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. AND SO MY WHOLE LIFE I WAS HEADED DURING THE BENGALS GOING WIN THE SUPER BOWL WHEN THEY FINALLY MADE IT. I SAID WE'RE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY TO LA AND WATCH IT. THEN THE BLUES ON THE FINAL DRIVE. SO I STILL HAVE HOPE. ALL RIGHT. WELL, HOPE IS A NICE PLACE TO END. THIS TOWN HALL IS SOMETHING YOU'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE AMERICA. I KNOW AS A REMINDER AT THE START OF THE EVENING. WE ASKED HOW MANY OF YOU WERE UNDECIDED ON WHO YOU WOULD SUPPORT IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY SO ONCE AGAIN, BY A SHOW OF HANDS HERE AND WILL INCLUDE AUDIENCES IN DES MOINES AND MANCHESTER IS MORE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR MISTER RAMASWAMY. ALL RIGHT. WHAT ABOUT MANCHESTER, OK. WE'LL TRY TO ZOOM IN HERE. LOOKS ABOUT HALF IN MANCHESTER. NOW, 3RD DES MOINES, IOWA, WHO'S MORE LIKELY AFTER HEARING MISTER RAMASWAMY ALRIGHT HALF THERE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT ABOUT 2 THIRDS HERE IN CHICAGO WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR AUDIENCE HERE IN CHICAGO. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN GREAT. DES MOINES MANCHESTER. THANK YOU YOU ALL. WELL. >> CAUCUS SCENE IN VOTING HERE IN THE NEXT 5 OR 6 MONTHS AT HOME.

THANK VERY THANK YOU ALL. >> WE'LL SEE YOU OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. YOU VERY CHRIS CUOMO IS STANDING BY TO PROTECT BOTH OF US.
