Folks sorry we were a little bit late, that was intentional. Kate Zachariah did the first press conference at the White House in the press room. I wanted to give you some time to watch it. I think it's really important. I am an activist first. I am an activist for conservative and liberty based causes. The show is not about me. It's about the end game. And the end game is about advancing conservative causes. Kate Zachariah as the new press secretary is going to be one of the lead advocates for the Trump agenda. I thought it was super important that you be able to check that out and have some time to migrate over. We're happy to have you here. I'll address that quickly. Folks there's something I think another X factor in this election. And I think it's one of the reasons the Democrats at the last minute are starting to panic a little bit.
I'm starting to see some hedging. Maybe the polls are off, all this other stuff. I think there's a reason. I hate teases.
I think it has a lot to do with the Trump administration ongoing crackdown on voter fraud.
I think they're getting a little nervous. I've got that. And I just want to start at the beginning with stuff I usually don't start about with the show.
Folks, I'm really getting tired of these left-wing lunatic Hollywood idiots. Finally, like someone with a sane sound in mind gets up on stage like, I'm not here for the damn politics. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a minute.

Today's show also brought to you by Lean. You know, I had a little bit of a health crisis in the past. Why do I always turn the wrong way? I needed to get leaner. I, listen, my knees were killing me. I got some bad arthritis in my knees. I had to drop like 20, 30 pounds. I lost more. I lost closer to 40 pounds on Lean. It's a great product, highly recommended. Listen, I did my research on it. I did my research on these injections. And for me, it was a hard no. Instead, I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. And here's why. These weight loss shots work by helping control blood sugar and appetite so you eat less. There's no argument that shots can work for many people. But Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally. Lean helped tackle my hunger and help support steady energy without constant cravings. Lean did something injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy so I burned fat instead of storing it. My favorite part about Lean, it's a nutritional supplement that works. It worked for me. Go look at the old pictures there. It's not a shot, no prescriptions, no needles. I lost weight with Lean. I believe you can too. Go to brickhousenutrition.com/dan.

So, just quickly, Kate Zachariah just did a great job.
It was a short press conference, which was just the way to go. She gave an intro, gave the president's travel schedule, talked about how he's going to advance the agenda, which I think he's going to do well for candidates where he visits. You see a bump in polling, draws attention to local races. But I thought she did great. I think it was smart, keep it short. The first one, there's always going to be a bit of nerves, folks. I don't care who you are. You need to have nerves of steel. You go up there in front of an international audience that's watching you on day one. But I thought she did fantastic. So congratulations to Kate. Folks, I think the Trump administration cracked down on voter fraud and receipts incoming in a few minutes. But again, I hate teases. I think it's having a dramatic impact on this election already.
