I am very proud of President Trump. Many people around him, including Elon Musk and Melania, for her fantastic entry into Madison Square Garden on the 27th of October, showed their best selves as a result of a fantastic campaign by Trump at the close of the 2024 election season. That’s how you win, and it starts with effort. And nobody in the history of the world, looking back, or forward will ever perform what President Trump has over these last four years. Talk about resiliency. He has made me very proud and has set a standard that will never be forgotten. And even though the campaign still has a week or so, what the Trump campaign did at Madison Square Garden was epic and unforgettable. It was astonishingly good. However, that wasn’t the most significant thing that Trump could have done to secure his domination in this election cycle. It was the Joe Rogan Podcast from that previous Friday, October 25th, 2024 where Trump sat down with the hottest podcast in the nation and just talked for three hours straight with no interruptions, no breaks, no notes. Trump just sat down and spoke to Joe Rogan unscripted for three hours, something very few people could have done. And Trump was fantastic. When you add it all up, the week leading up to that podcast, then what was done at Madison Square Garden in New York City, of all places, for a Republican to campaign in what is considered forbidden territory, the sum of it was just jaw-dropping. Talk about a guy who likes to win and has done everything to do so. And even those hardened to him couldn’t help but admire the effort. I think we aren’t just talking about a win with this effort against Kamala Harris, but Trump is playing to have the biggest win in the history of elections, including the dominating win Reagan had over Mondale in 1984.
Leading up to the Madison Square Garden rally, I was at Kings Island with my family, and specifically, as I reviewed the clips from the Joe Rogan Podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with one of my grandchildren, who is 12. I was about his age in 1984 when Reagan won in a landslide, and it had a feeling about it, like what we see today with Trump. Only Reagan didn’t go through nearly what Trump has. I am excited for my grandchildren, and I was able to explain to him that if everything goes well with this election on November 5th, and we have every reason in the world to believe it will, there is an opportunity for magnificent growth in America that is more than just a little bit, well deserved. A few short months ago, I didn’t think there was a chance Elon Musk and President Trump would ever do anything together, so having the world’s richest man directly connected to Trump is a massive boost because, as fair or unfair as it is, Musk has brought an enthusiasm that people like George Soros and Jeff Bezos have applied negatively. Elon Musk has become very effective, and Trump has earned that respect by surviving that assassin’s bullet. A few months later, I watched this Joe Rogan Podcast as it occurred and listened in wonderment. There were so many sound clips from that show that made excellent soundbites that even in the hours after, the political left had no countermeasure for. There was so much said in those three hours that Trump had slammed shut an election victory for him at that moment. And he wasn’t even done at that time. Trump and Rogan even talked about aliens in that podcast. It was quite extraordinary.
But the promise of prosperity for a young 12-year-old is on the table here. After all that we have been through as a country, we deserve something good, and as I reviewed the Joe Rogan clips and showed them to my grandson while we were in line for several rides, the enthusiasm was unmistakable. We were on the cusp of something monstrously big, and Joe Rogan had managed to capture it with an excellent interview. Trump was his best self during it, leaving in the wake plenty that anybody voting could like and get behind. Trump was swinging for the fences after ten years of some of the worst political treatment anybody has ever had, and it was coming fast not with just one homerun but several that were flying out of the park in a highlight reel nobody would ever forget. I kept telling my grandson how culture changed a lot in the 80s, economically and socially, once Reagan won that second term; there was prosperity in America from about 1981 to 1989 that came from Reagan’s open embrace of capitalism and the defeat of the Soviet Union through policy that unleashed optimism everyone benefited from. It was encouraging to see my grandchildren coming to age in this remarkable Trump election that was shaking off so many oppressive elements. Like Rocky from the movies, Trump could be crawling across the finish line, all beat up and barely standing. But here was a guy that had gone through all he had and was dressed in his business suit, looking better than ever, and showing himself to be at the height of his power. At this moment, in line with my grandson, and just ahead of Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden, the recent betting odds for Trump to win came out at 94.5%, for the first time.
Kamala Harris couldn’t have done even a tiny portion of what Trump did, especially the Joe Rogan Podcast. She’s very unexceptional and has little to say about anything. And in many ways, that is what Trump managed to crack through all the trouble and present to the world. As I watched the Joe Rogan clips at Kings Island, I also got a live stream from London where they were having a rally for Trump across from Parliament. I remember standing in that exact spot in 2017 when Trump had just been elected and watching the world react to it in a very negative way, especially in London. But now the world was watching this American election and praying for Trump’s return, so this isn’t just America that’s excited. The world is on edge, hoping for an excellent performance, which Trump has shown them; he has done everything he could to win and win big. There is a chance for Trump not just to win, but for a period of enthusiasm to come from under the barriers of oppression that has stifled creative growth for over a century, even more. And Trump had united everyone to his cause, even those like Musk who had been left of center most of his life. Suddenly, Musk at Madison Square Garden talked about taxation in ways that were even more conservative than the Tea Party’s position. All of this came because of Trump’s excellent campaign. We were seeing something epic happening in politics and culture. And the potential for what comes next for the children coming to age in this period is epic. In many ways, all this campaign activity from Trump gave the feeling of a great nation overcoming an incredible sickness that had suddenly broken, and everyone felt much better. And much of that was evident on the Joe Rogan Podcast, which would have been enough; it would have been the highlight of most political campaigns. But for Trump, it was just another day at the office. The bar of expectations has been shattered, and everyone has grown positively. And it was wonderful to see.
