Just days before the midterms,
the two most powerful men in America just disappeared like
a Democrat budget surplus.
President Donald Trump cancelled Iowa, cancelled Kansas,
J.D. Vance cancelled Minneapolis, same weekend.
The last time that has happened?
Never. Yeah. So where did Trump go? Mar-a-Lago.
Gold ballroom. Ocean breeze. Surface-to-air
missiles. Palm Beach has seen a lot of questionable golf pants.
A missile battery next to the croquet
court? That's new. Now, somewhere,
a homeowners association is drafting a very polite letter.
They will not be sending it. So here's the twist, guys.
Last week's headlines. Republicans must be
terrified. They're campaigning in Kansas.
This week, Republicans must be terrified. They're
They're not campaigning in Kansas.
Go to Kansas.
When a Reuters reporter tried it, Trump called him sick.
The reporter is now requesting a
second opinion. Let that land, guys.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs
Chairman General Dan Kane,
and CENTCOM's Admiral Brad Cooper walk into the White House for a very
rare in-person briefing on Iran.
And Iran, a regime with no radar, no air defense,
And according to President Donald J. Trump,
no leaders anyone can find is demanding America
lift the blockade first. You gotta admire their confidence out there.
This is a man with an empty
wallet demanding that you pay for dinner.
President Trump's take? Their leaders are so
gone, we don't even know who to negotiate with.
But these are minor details, don't worry.
Minor details, right?
47 years of death to America, this weekend, the bill comes due.
Well, today, guys, we're going to go ahead
and connect every dot that CNN was too busy
carving pumpkins to notice,
the Michigan fraud trip that J.D. Vance put on hold,
what it means for your gas tank,
and why the next 72 hours could change everything.
Now, before we dive in, if you or someone
you love needs Medicare guidance,
Chapter offers completely free help.
Check them out, guys. Phone number's down below
in the description. Give them a call, 909-563-8279.
The average senior saving about
I'm being told that the hold times
are a little bit shorter on the weekends, so definitely
do that.
Now, if you're not subscribed, go ahead and fix that.
This is the one appointment this weekend that nobody's canceling.
And if we deliver, hit the like button
on the way out, it's totally free and unlike
Iran's air defense, it actually works.
So check this out.
It's Halloween, kids are dressed up as superheroes,
and the real ones just left the campaign trail.
Three days before the midterms.
This is the Super Bowl weekend of politics, guys.
Every candidate in America is shaking hands until their arms fall off.
Today, President Trump's campaign blitz takes him back
to friendly Florida,
the final in-person rally
on the schedule after canceling trips to Kansas and Iowa.
So you not going to Kansas has nothing
to do with you being sick and traveling?
Are you sick to ask that question?
The RNC says it'll hold tele-rallies for nearly 20 states instead,
an effort to reach more voters.
The president spent Thursday handing out Halloween candy
at the White House after making yet another trip to South Carolina,
stumping for Senator Darlene Graham for the second time in eight days.
Thank you for your endorsement.
She is a natural.
So President Trump was supposed to be in Iowa,
then Kansas, big arenas, big crowds, Senate
seats, governor races,
and House seats are hanging in the balance. Gone. Wiped off the
schedule. Now picture this, guys.
An empty arena in Kansas. Stairs stacked against the
wall. Flags are folded in boxes.
A sound guy checking his phone, wondering if he's still
getting paid. Well, J.D. Vance?
He was headed to Minneapolis. Also canceled. Both men, same
This doesn't happen by accident.
This happens when someone
Somebody in a very serious room says, sir, we need to talk.
Vice President J.D. Vance says he's canceling
his trip he had planned to St. Cloud.
The event was meant to focus
on the Trump administration's efforts to combat fraud.
Megan McPherson's in the newsroom with more
on why the timing of the presser matters.
Megan.
Hey, good morning. We just learned within the last 12 hours
that Vice President J.D. Vance is no longer coming to Minnesota today.
The White House announced the trip Thursday morning,
saying Vance would make an announcement about
the Trump administration's so-called war on fraud.
But by Thursday evening,
they confirmed the visit was off and did not give a reason why.
Tonight, President Trump is rallying in Daytona Beach,
Florida, a state he won by 14 points in 2024.
The president campaigned at 25 rallies this month alone.
Last night, campaign events in Kansas
and Iowa were canceled this weekend.
So where did the president go? Not Kansas, Florida.
And not to the beach, guys. The Secret
Service turned Mar-a-Lago into a fortress.
Short-range surface-to-air missiles, ground-based
air defense, counter-drone technology built
to knock anything out of the sky before it even gets
close. You can see the missile sites from above,
boats patrolling the water. The whole estate is
locked down tighter than Joe Biden's press schedule.
And remember, this is the same place
President Trump ran the Maduro raid from.
This is not a vacation home anymore. This is more like
a command center with a really nice buffet.
Now, give it about a week, some Democrats are going to
file a lawsuit to take the missiles down because in their world,
the real threat to democracy is
a president with a working security system.
I'm waiting. Now, honestly, guys, it should have looked
like this all along. Now, think of the one person in your life
who texts what's going on like every
time the news gets a little weird.
Go ahead and send them this video right now. You just saved
Save yourself a good 40 minute phone call.
The White House, black SUVs roll in,
and outstep the three men Iran least wants to see in one room.
Admiral Brad Cooper, he is the top U.S. commander in the Middle East.
He does not fly to Washington
for coffee. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,
this is a man who looks like he was built in a lab
for exactly this week.
And General Dan Cane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs. The Wall Street
The Wall Street Journal broke it rare.
Doors closed.
On the table?
The blockade, guys.
Escorting oil tankers
and restarting major combat operations against Iran.
The day before, the same team briefed J.D. Vance.
Three of the most powerful military men on Earth,
they don't just huddle up to pick
Halloween costumes.
Somewhere in Tehran, a guy just checked where the exits are.
Hi, I'm Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command.
Earlier this week, I visited some
of the more than 50,000 service members supporting operations
across the Middle East,
including our mission in the Strait of Hormuz. When I flew over the
strait, I saw dozens of commercial vessels transiting,
all types, cargo, crude oil,
liquid natural gas, or LNG.
And I also saw our U.S. assets in the air and on the water,
including a squadron of advanced sea drones
that were on patrol supporting a defensive layer.
Here's what I didn't see. I didn't see the IRGC out there at all.
They patrolled the Strait of
Hormuz and surrounding waters for decades,
harassing and threatening and seizing commercial
vessels at will. But they were not out there
because Iran's navy is all at the bottom of the
sea. So what do they know that we don't?
Plans don't change this fast on a hunch. They change
on intel, serious intel. Think about a rally, guys.
30,000 people, rooftops in every direction.
It is the hardest place on earth to protect. Cancel it
and you protect the president and every family in those bleachers.
Oh, and we all remember Butler,
Pennsylvania. Dropper Butler, if you know what I mean,
one inch, that was all it was,
one inch, folks. He was spared.
For a reason. This time, nobody's gambling with that inch.
The media calls it hiding.
Strange way to hide. At the most famous address
in Florida with missiles that you can spot from
a satellite, either it's misdirection
or President Trump wants Iran to know exactly where he is.
This is not hiding, folks. This is a dare.
Now, tonight, if you're the praying kind,
pray for the president, for his family,
for the Vances, and for everyone standing guard.
Now, then, of course, there's the press, right?
Folks who write the headline first
First, and then ask the question second, a Reuters report.
A Reuters reporter shouts at Trump,
why aren't you going to Kansas? President Trump stops,
turns around, and delivers the review that nobody at Reuters expected.
So, you not going to Kansas have nothing
to do with you being sick of traveling?
Oh, you're sick to ask that question.
You are sick.
Who are you with?
I'm with Reuters, sir.
You are a sick guy.
Reuters is terrible, man.
You are a sick guy.
Then a fitness critique. Then a bonus.
Reuters is terrible. Then the actual answer.
I don't feel I have to go to Kansas. Kansas is
doing well. After 28 rallies,
the man's allowed to skip one state that already likes him.
Tuesday night, poll show, tight races.
In traditionally red states,
making it possible Democrats could retake both the House and Senate
and make life difficult for the president
in his last two years in office.
The Republican National Committee announced last night
that President Trump canceled a rally in Kansas tomorrow
and won in Iowa Sunday.
The RNC said the president will be able to reach more voters
by instead holding tele-rallies in nearly 20 states
with maybe more to be announced.
Kansas and Iowa, by the way, are two
of the states where Republicans are in danger.
Texas, Ohio, and Alaska are others.
So, too, is South Carolina,
where the president traveled yesterday to rally with Darlene Graham,
the sister of the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
She is running to fill his seat.
South Carolina has not sent a Democrat
to the Senate in nearly 30 years,
but polls show it could happen this year.
After the rally, President Trump lashed out at a reporter who asked him
if he canceled his trip to Kansas tomorrow because of health concerns.
Look at this guy. He's way out of shape.
Look at how badly he comes to me.
You're not going to go to Kansas.
I'm not going to Kansas because he's doing very well.
I'm going to do a teller rally.
Tomorrow I'm doing Florida.
He said, what's the reason?
After doing what, 28?
He says, what's the reason for this,
sir, that you're not going to Kansas?
You know what the reason is?
I don't feel I have to go to Kansas.
I'm going to Florida tomorrow and I'll do if something else comes up.
But he said,
You're not going to Kansas, sir.
Are you feeling well?
You've been following me for two weeks.
I feel perfect.
You are disgusting.
Put yourself in shape.
You look like hell.
At a rally Monday in Mississippi, though,
the president did acknowledge sounding a bit
hoarse.
God didn't make your vocal cords to do a rally every day.
But when you love the people, it's fine.
Here's the media's problem.
They've now attacked him for going and for not going.
The only move left is just standing perfectly still,
and they'll probably still call that
erratic somehow. CNN would run it as breaking news.
Trump motionless. Experts alarmed.
Yeah, I almost feel like Dave Chappelle.
Meanwhile, out in Kansas, picture a guy outside Wichita,
pickup truck, radio on, gas station
coffee in the cup holder, you know,
the kind that's strong enough to strip some paint off
the outside of your truck?
That kind.
Does he really need a rally to decide?
I would go with no.
He decided months ago.
Selena or no Selena, his vote isn't going anywhere.
This is the part the media never gets.
They think rallies make the voters.
It's backwards. The voters are already there.
The rallies are where they show up to kind of wave a flag
and buy a hat. Cable News thinks
Kansas is a place that you fly over.
Kansas thinks Cable News is something that you change
the channel on. Oh, and President Trump?
Oh, he's still there. Daytona Beach, his turf.
Now, hold that guy in the pickup truck,
he matters a lot more than any pundit on TV this
weekend.
About that trip that J.D. Vance canceled,
Minneapolis wasn't a photo op, he was going
to announce major fraud prosecutions,
J.D. Vance runs the White House New Task Force
to Eliminate Fraud, and Minnesota is Exhibit A. The scale?
A fraud case reported at $1 billion,
non-profits that said they were feeding hungry kids, helping
Some of that money allegedly ending up overseas.
Now picture this, a daycare with no children,
a food program with no food, paperwork that's
the only thing in the building working full time.
Oh, and Governor Tim Walz's response,
he called the investigation a campaign of retribution.
Shockingly, and please sit down for this.
I'm proud to be here today as the governor
of the great state of Minnesota.
Under my leadership, Minnesota has dedicated
its resources to ensuring that all Minnesotans
can live dignified and full lives with access
to top-notch public schools, quality health
care, good jobs.
Thanks to these initiatives, Minnesota has been ranked
as one of the best states to raise a family in,
one of the best states to find a job in,
and one of the best states to live in.
Although Minnesota's programs have
overwhelmingly achieved their intended purposes,
they're not immune from fraud.
I'll be the first to acknowledge that. But let me be clear. In
Minnesota, if you defraud public programs,
if you steal taxpayer money, we'll find you,
we'll prosecute you, we'll convict you, and we'll throw you in jail.
In this anti-fraud mission,
we keep good company. Across the country,
our nation's governors work hard every single day
to combat fraud in their programs.
But even as we confront issues similar to our sister states,
The people of Minnesota have been singled out
and targeted for political retribution
at an unparalleled scale,
including blocking Medicaid reimbursements to our state just last
week.
Under the guise of combating fraud,
the federal government has flooded Minnesota with masked,
untrained, and unaccountable agents
who are wreaking havoc in our communities.
On the streets of Minnesota,
federal agents have entered U.S. citizens' homes who have
committed no crimes.
They have violated the constitutional rights of our citizens.
They have ignored court orders.
They have shot first and asked questions later.
The man in charge, while the money walked out the door,
has decided he's the victim.
You can't even make this stuff up, guys.
The trip got canceled.
The investigation didn't.
Now, Iran.
And President Trump isn't exactly whispering.
I would be addressing them as Supreme Leader.
Mr. Supreme Leader, sir, how are you?
But now I don't have to do that.
If they had a nuclear weapon, I'd be calling the Supreme Leader.
And I'd be saying, Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir?
Is there anything we can do for you?
As opposed to bombing the crap out of them.
If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I'd be addressing them as sir.
I'm not going to be addressing them
as sir. Translation, no nukes, no respect.
Their radar, gone. Their anti-aircraft, gone. Their
leaders, gone. Iran's government's starting
to look more like a blockbuster video store at this
point. The sign's still up, but ain't nobody inside.
So a reporter asked if strikes could
come before the midterms. Trump, anything's possible.
That's not a no. Fox News reports US
and Israeli fighter jets rehearsing a short,
intense strike, CENTCOM is posting troop readiness videos again,
and heavy military equipment is
already rolling across Europe into the Middle East.
Picture some flatbed trucks
lining up on the highway hauling steel toward the desert.
Make a deal or get finished?
Tehran, your clock is ticking. Tick tock.
So here's Iran's opening offer. Before any talks,
America must end the blockade and lift the oil sanctions.
It's like, who are you to demand
anything? This is pretty bold.
A regime with no air defense is negotiating like it holds
all the cards. It holds one card. It's an expired coupon.
So, why
so confident?
Because they remember the last guy.
You guys remember January 2016?
The Obama administration flew $400 million in cash to Iran, stacked.
On pallets. Unmarked plane, picture guys,
forklifts, loading, shrink wrap money like
it's a Costco delivery. So Obama sent pallets of cash.
Trump sent a blockade. Since 1979,
we've had the hostage crisis, the IRGC, chance of death to America.
Ask any Marine who served
over there how tired he is of hearing it.
The Gulf states want negotiations, fine.
Trump's ordering one. It just doesn't come with a forklift.
We're now...
In the throes of having an even greater victory against Iran
and stopping them from ever having a nuclear weapon.
And you've got to understand that America
did not start the war with Iran.
Iran has been waging this war against America since 1979,
killing many, many of our great people.
They've killed thousands of our soldiers and wounded so many more.
The legs, the limbs, the face.
The this terrible and those people are many of them are living now,
but they're living a hard life.
Past leaders should have settled this problem long ago,
but they didn't have the courage or intelligence to do it.
And I will tell you, more oil
is right now flowing out of the Hormuz Strait.
We're thinking about renaming it the Trump Strait.
Now, Iran is a good 7,000 miles away. Why should you care?
Your gas tank, that's why. The Strait
of Hormuz is a skinny little strip of water between Iran
and the Gulf states. Picture a
hallway. Now, picture about one-fifth
of the world's oil squeezed into this little narrow
hallway every day. Iran's favorite hobby?
Threatening to block the hallway.
So, President Trump got briefed on escorting oil tankers out.
Now, picture a supertanker longer than three football fields
with a Navy destroyer riding
right next to it like it's the world's biggest bodyguard.
That isn't happening over there, guys.
It shows up at the gas pump in Topeka and in Tampa, Florida.
The left calls this warmongering.
You call it a fill-up that you can't afford.
America first means two things,
protect the wallet and the threat.
Iran, here we go again, right? Yeah, Iran. The old Washington
plan, 20 years, trillions of dollars,
and a press conference saying it's going great. Well,
J.D. Vance gets it. Yes, J.D. Vance does understand.
At a town hall in Texas with Jesse Watters,
he talked about serving in Iraq
and he said that he got into politics because
he was so sick of this stuff.
We've got Brock Enns, Fort Worth, Texas.
What do you got, Brock?
Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
I'm the President of College Republicans at TCU,
and in 2024, I cast my first ever vote for you
and President Trump because of your promises for
real change on immigration, affordability,
government accountability, and foreign policy,
particularly at the end of the costly foreign wars
of the old Republican establishment.
Nearly two years later, while your administration
likes to point to its accomplishments,
many of us, myself included,
feel like those promises have not been fully realized,
especially now that we're in the middle
of a conflict in the Middle East again.
With the midterms just days away,
where do you believe our administration has fallen short,
and why should we trust the Republicans
with two more years to deliver the change we've voted for?
Yeah, so first, I appreciate the question,
and I appreciate you voting for us.
I think what I'd say is, first of all, that...
While I understand the frustration about
foreign misadventures in the Middle East,
I served in Iraq.
That's one of the main reasons why I got involved politically
is because I was so sick of this stuff.
We've been involved in Iran in some form for seven months.
The United States has been dealing with Iran for 47 years,
and I promise you that Donald Trump
is not going to let Iran become a forever war,
which is the criticism that's been made.
I think there's a difference between
criticizing foreign military misadventures
And saying that you can never, ever use the American military.
And the other thing that I'd say to you is that on,
if you take, I think the whole suite of promises,
obviously I'm very biased, but I think we're doing a very good job.
On immigration, we closed the border on day one,
zero illegal border crossings.
We prioritized fighting against visa fraud that big corporations
were using to undercut the wages of American workers.
That's a big win.
On housing, in part because of what we've done
on immigration, but we've also banned
Wall Street from buying up American homes.
You actually see in the state of Texas, the list price of homes.
Doubled during the four years
of the Biden administration, it has cooled off in the
state of Texas and elsewhere in the country, too.
So there's a lot that we're making good progress on.
Obviously, there's a lot more we need to work on.
But the one thing I'll tell you
is if you're worried about another forever war, Donald
Trump is never going to let this be a forever war.
He's going to accomplish America's objectives.
And then we're going to focus on the other things
that we're doing, which, of course,
the media doesn't talk as much about,
but are the things that I'm really most proud
of.
His math.
Seven months involved in Iran. 47 years of Iran making trouble.
His promise? Donald Trump will
not let this become a forever war.
This week, J.D. Vance even sent Tehran a letter
proposing a framework for talks now picture this guy's
an olive branch in one hand an aircraft carrier in the other hand
Iran picks which one shows up now to every soldier sailor airman
and marine and their families. We thank you
Oh one more thing guys, and this one's very serious some are warning
that if Iran's regime cracks its leftover sleeper cells
They could try to stir up some chaos here
and abroad riots attacks on power lines
So, here's why the timing matters.
In recent elections,
a lot of Republicans have waited
to vote on election day.
That makes these next 72 hours the entire ballgame, really. I mean,
remember the guy outside of Wichita,
pickup truck, paint-stripping coffee?
President Trump canceled the rally.
Nobody canceled that man's vote. Don't let anybody
cancel yours. Mar-a-Lago has its missiles.
You got something stronger. A ballot and a prayer.
Three days, guys. One job. Folks, look.
President Trump, J.D. Vance, they didn't run from anything.
They cleared the calendar
because something serious is on the table and Iran knows it.
Missiles on the lawn in Palm Beach.
Generals in the White House. A regime out of radar,
out of leaders, and out of excuses. CNN missed it.
The mainstream media spun it, was hiding.
You found it right here on The Ron Yates Show.
I want you to think of someone, a parent,
a neighbor, that friend who's been worried
sick about the midterms.
Send them this video, not to scare them,
so that they know that the people in charge are
wide awake, the plan is in motion, and that they are not alone.
