They're sick and tired of just the lies and the whininess. And they're very focused on future generations of Americans. And they recognize the threat that Donald Trump poses. They also blame Donald Trump for the lockdowns that took place because of the way Donald Trump mishandled the pandemic in a devastating fashion. So of course that's a bit anecdotal, but then I started seeing the polls and you have the new Florida poll by FAU Main Street, which has Vice President Kamala Harris within the margin of error, 47% Donald Trump, 45% Vice President Kamala Harris. The new averages by VoteHub US taking all of the

polls, and there hasn't really been that many of these other top-rated polls, but if you take the trailing 28-day average or so, it's still within the margin of error there as Vice President Kamala Harris takes the lead in Arizona and North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. So we have actual kind of quantitative data. And then we're just seeing this incredible momentum in conservative places like the villages. Once again, over this past weekend at the villages, which is known for usually being a very kind of conservative right-wing area for older individuals, people who are on Social Security, people who are on Medicare, people who have been though benefited from the Biden-Harris policies, you know,

notwithstanding prior support for Republicans or even prior support by Donald Trump, we're seeing a level of enthusiasm. Just take a look at what I'm showing you right here as I'm talking. I mean, there were hundreds and hundreds of people being loud and proud at the villages, organizing, getting out the vote, being louder than even the kind of right-wing magas who are there as well. And then we've been getting these stories that many of you have been sharing as well. And here's a story that went viral on TikTok, at Florida Life, Tracy Updates, which she said almost word for word is what I'm hearing from my relatives in Florida. They're golf buddies, they're tennis buddies who are Republicans who are saying we're with Vice President Kamala Harris.

We can't stand this Trump guy anymore. And it's reached a level that I think is a very noteworthy thing to even highlight here, especially as you're seeing, again, more footage right there of what was going on in the villages. So take a look at this clip because almost word for word, this sounds a lot like what I've been hearing play this clip. Hey, my friends. Yesterday, I posted something that said to stay tuned. I had something to say about one of my Republican friends. I play a lot of golf in Florida. Most of the ladies I know, I know I run a league that has 80 ladies in it. And most of them are Republicans. And of course, because this is Florida, so they outweigh my Democratic friends. But we're friends regardless. We don't talk about politics. Anyways, I went up to her and said hello

to her yesterday. And she says, guess what I did? And I said, what'd you do? She goes, I walked into the Democratic office in Longwood, Florida yesterday. And I raised up my hands and stickers and a hat and a shirt. And she told me, I love Tim Walz. She did good picking him. And she said, it's time for a female to run the country. So I was so excited. And I just wanted you to know that there are so many people here in Florida

that are not voting for Trump. Regardless of what you hear, we could be flipping this state blue. I hope so. My husband says, I don't think so, but I feel it. But anyways, I wanted to share that with you. You all have a good rest of the day and I'll talk to you later.

Bye bye. Now, let me share this with you as well. This is Eric, who is a veteran and a former Trump voter from Florida who will never vote for Donald Trump again. Here's what he says. Anybody who doesn't want a World War Three or doesn't remember World War II should not vote for Trump because he will drag us into that war. Hi, my name is Eric and I live in Florida. I voted for Trump in 2016 because I thought he would actually change things and make a difference in the Republican Party and get rid of some of the politics. But he became the swamp himself.

I will never, ever vote for him again. I will never vote for him, a big part because of January 6th, but mostly because I truly believe that he will bring us to the brink of World War III. When he backs out of NATO and gives Ukraine to Putin, Putin will invade the other NATO countries. I am a veteran and I truly believe that this is going to happen. So anybody who doesn't want a World War III or doesn't remember World War II should not vote for Trump because he will drag us into that war. The second thing that I really have a problem with is he isn't going to fix Social Security. And I'm 67 years old. I'm living on

Social Security and he's going to let Social Security go bankrupt. So all you people who are of my age, who are collecting Social Security, about to collect Social Security, should never vote for this guy. He is going to destroy Social Security and Medicare. People in the Republican Party should never vote for this guy and put him back in office. He's dangerous. He's going to take our rights away. And he's going to drag us into World War III. And listen to what Eric says, that Donald

Trump will pull us out of NATO. Now, this isn't, Eric's not being hyperbolic right here. I just want you to listen to how Donald Trump talks about NATO. I'm going to show you right now a selfie video that Donald Trump made of himself recently, where he says he is going to pull America out of NATO. He says he doesn't like NATO. He blames NATO for issues. He praises Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump says the issue is that Americans are the real enemy, not Vladimir Putin.

This is a video Trump made of himself. Play this clip. At home, the State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all of the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the deep staters and put America first. We have to put America first. Finally, we have to finish the process we began under my administration

of fundamentally re-evaluating NATO's purpose and NATO's mission. Our foreign policy establishment keeps trying to pull the world into conflict with a nuclear-armed Russia based on the lie that Russia represents our greatest threat. But the greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia. It's probably more than anything else ourselves and some of the horrible USA hating people that represent us. converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut.

I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on hitting the gym, enjoying a brunch, or just getting some important work done without worry. I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical to Z-Biotics at first, but then while hanging out with my friends at our favorite bar downtown, I decided to give it a try, and let me tell you, it really works. The first time I tried pre-alcohol was during a friend's wedding weekend. I had my first drink of the night, delicious old-fashioned by the way, right after taking Z-Biotics.

The next morning, I was up early, feeling great and ready to join the rest of the night, delicious old fashioned by the way, right after taking Z Biotics. The next morning, I was up early, feeling great and ready to join the rest of the wedding party for breakfast and activities. It was a total game changer.

Putin couldn't have even made better propaganda for that, yet alone to have the leader of the Republican Party say that. How do we go from Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall, to Donald Trump saying that? Over this past weekend, J.D. Vance went on various media outlets and he was asked about Ukraine and Russia's unlawful invasion. This past weekend, J.D. Vance blamed Ukraine and NATO, blamed NATO, NATO's fault. Here, play this clip.

Quickly before we go, I want to touch on foreign policy as well. Ukraine, you have been very vocal in saying, you know, the resources and the tax dollars that are going there. You have serious questions about whether the American people are being told the truth about Ukraine's ability to actually advance there. Now we know there are all kinds of reports this week. They've actually advanced into Russia. They are taking prisoners. They're taking territory. So has your view on that changed at all? And what about Senator Coons'ion that you and President Trump aren't gonna be faithful to NATO? You're not gonna be faithful to foreign policy alliances in that allies shouldn't be able to count on you.

Well, what Chris Coons is saying, look, I like and respect Chris, but he's just wrong here. What Donald Trump and I have said is that there shouldn't be a free lunch for Europe or anybody else. America is not the policeman of the world and NATO should be a military alliance where Germany, France, and all these other countries pay their fair share rather than relying on American taxpayers to subsidize their defense so they can have generous welfare states while American veterans are sleeping under park benches. It's ridiculous, Shannon. We want NATO to be a real alliance. And the way that it's going to be a real alliance is for Europe to pay up, to do what's necessary, and to allow us to focus on the most pressing foreign policy challenge we have had in nearly a century, and that is China. And that is what Donald Trump and I are going to focus on. Rebuilding American factories, bringing more

manufacturing jobs back to this country, not allowing the Chinese to build their middle class on the backs of ours. And importantly, if we do that, we will be in a better position to stand up to China for the next 50 years in this country. That is what we've got to focus on. And that's the most important foreign policy problem. Well, we look forward to the president talking more about those tariffs, exactly how they would work. Senator. And that's the thing. That's what he is sounding like, what he speaks like. That's not how Republicans ever talked before. Not how Democrats ever talked before.

That's not how Americans have ever talked before. I know that's been kind of normalized in Putin's capture and MAGA's capture of the Republican Party, but that just ain't something that we should be okay with here in the United States of America. So we're going to keep on highlighting that stuff. And like, you just take a look at this. It's stuff like this too, that when I speak to people in Florida, Republicans, right-wing people, they go, I just have enough of this guy. This guy is, we just got to, we got to get this guy out of politics. You know, it's stuff like this.

When Donald Trump says, he posted, We had to turn away lots of people yesterday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. But Comrade Kamala Harris' social media operation showed empty seats long before the rally started, early in the afternoon, when in actuality, we had to turn away 11,500 people. A lot of the people who I speak to in Florida, especially some of the people of an older vintage there tell me, they go, Ben, we cannot stand this whiny crap. Vice President Kamala Harris' social media team goes,

no, we posted a video of your empty rally while you were speaking. Americans are tired of your lies and slur-filled delusions. It's getting old. Here's the video. You can hear Trump speak and the crowd leaving. Play the clip. Thank you, Governor.

Thank you, Governor. Thank you, Governor. Thank you, Governor. Thank you, Governor. Thank you, Governor. New York, New York County DA Paul Patisky. Paul Patisky. Thank you, Governor. Look, I think we all just want normalcy at this point. And I think that there are people, I think Florida's waking up and a lot of just anti-Trump sentiment there. And I think here, this is one of the ways to, I think, think about it. As Christopher Boozy says, approximately 3% of the people who signed up to volunteer to help Harris walls in Florida are Republican.

I now estimate that 3% to 5% of Republican voters who voted for Trump in 2020 will not vote for him in November. Democrats will flip Florida and North Carolina. Democrats are ahead in North Carolina now, and Florida is a possible flip. I'll leave you with that. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 3 million together.
