Statement by Greg Abbott

Rubio's statements in response to Amash in Houston show yet again that he is a liar and that he only wants to win. He will cook up any fact to derail his opponents. Well, let me tell you this, Mr. President. The American people see where the truth is. And that's with Amash. That's what matters at the polling stations, Rubio, not baseless attacks.

Tim Kaine's Campaign Schedule Summary

From August 1 to August 5 2019, Tim Kaine spent his time in his Senate duties in Washington D.C. From August 6 to August 12 2019, he campaigned in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas, Illinois, Alabama and Minnesota, focusing on gun control, Wall Street reform, green energy, on smart power when it comes to foreign policy and on explaining why he is the best qualified to defend progressive values as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Vice President Pearcy's schedule recap

Stephen Pearcy visited SpaceX and talked about the future of the mission into Space and possible Moon colonies by 2030.

Pearcy also went on the campaign trail defending free enterprise and  gun rights and attacked Greg Abbott by saying he jumped the shark and that he needs to stay on the sidelines and be quiet.

Pearcy called out Congressman Amash by saying he was disappointed and thought he was a better man than this.

The Vice President called out Ben Shapiro by saying he has no idea what he was doing.

Marco Rubio's rally in response to Greg Abbott's statements in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

By claiming that my uncontestable statements are baseless, Governor Abbott has proven himself to be so disconnected from reality and willing to create any false lying slanderous and dishonest accusation in an effort to keep our party divided and hand a victory for the Democrats. No wonder that people around the country, including in his home state of Texas call him Lyin' Greg. That's why people didn't believe in him, that's why I was leading him in his own home state of Texas by double digits before he dropped out. People didn't want him. Even his own Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick endorsed me over Abbott. Because when you can't defend your own record or your candidate's record, you try to create false accusations against your rival and that's exactly what Governor Abbott is doing. As Donald Trump has said, « Governor Abbott holds the Bible high, he puts it down and then he lies. »

Let me tell you this, Governor, if there's a challenge from you to the incumbent President of your own party while this President delivered strong conservative leadership and strong foreign policy that increased America's national security through a stronger military and reinforced borders, you are achieving the objectives of the Democrats who are trying to make the government bigger, to increase taxes on hard working families, to weaken our military and our security measures, which will make terrorism stronger and America less safe. And no Governor, I'm not campaigning for myself. I'm campaigning for the American people. I'm campaigning to make sure the American people wins like they won throughout the last year through the biggest tax cuts in history, through the repeal of Obamacare, through the reinforcement of our borders and through stronger counter-terrorism that helped us to get Abu Bakr al-Baghadi. That's why my campaign slogan is « America First ». So this is wrong and irresponsible, Governor, to belittle our nation.

So my friends, we need to stay united and win this election for America and the entire people in order to pursue the continuation of this New American Century through free enterprise, small government, strong families and strong military and strength that will get us to peace.

[Crowd cheers, applauds and chants « USA! »]

With Abbott's withdrawal, President Rubio's path to his party's nomination has been reinforced even though he doesn't take anything for granted, which is why he still gives efforts throughout the early states. The entrance of Ben Shapiro in the Republican race seems to be attracting attention.

On the Democratic side, the recent withdrawals of Jason Kander and Dennis Kucinich from the race made it easier for one of the remaining candidates (Sherrod Brown, Tim Kaine, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris and Tammy Baldwin) to have a chance to clinch their party's nomination before their national convention that will be held from July 27-30 2020.

Putin orders withdrawal of Russian troops in visit to Syrian base

After Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the withdrawal of Russian troops from Syria during a visit to the war-torn country on Monday, declaring victory against ISIS. As a result, any risk of nuclear war against the United States is prevented.

Ben Shapiro Economic Policy and Energy PolicySpeech in Des Moines, Iowa on August 18th (Attendance: 7500)

"Hello, Des Moines. I am feeling fantastic today. Really, really fantastic. Reason why is I just saw the polls in this great state. Before I talk about my economic Policy, can we all just appreciate each other? Because of you and other voters like you across the Nation, I'm at 7% in the polls. Now let's get into Economic Policy.

Who here has heard of Voodoo Economics? Ok, you, over there, what is Voodoo Economics?"Ben leans forward to listen to person defining Voodoo Economics " You are 100% correct Ma'am. For Anyone who didn't hear her, she said Voodoo Economics is basically what Ronald Regan used to improve the economy in the 80s. I hope to use a modified version of it to help keep the Economy simulated past the projected 2023 collapse. Of course, I'll stick to my promise. It'll be in the King's English and be no longer than 3 pages, so you, the American people, can read the law and actually like it if you wanted to.

I have another thing to go on another policy idea of me. Energy. Right now, we have a mix of Green and Natural energy. There not be oil and coal jobs in this state, but across the country, there have been some jobs lost to Green energy, which is a false savior. Reason, I can bring up Germany when they completely went to Green energy. They had so much because no one used so they had to sell them at Negative, yes, Negative, prices. Can we all think about that. What the hell is a negative price. That's the road we're going towards if we continue to subsidize Green energy more than Natural energy. Do you want that?" crowd continuously chants "No!" For a minute before quieting down for Ben to continue speaking

"I think I have my answer. Honestly, which should we subsidize more: A energy that has given us thousands of jobs and has stayed in Positive prices or an energy source that has dropped to Negative prices and has proven to end jobs, not give them? I leave the answer to you, Iowa! May God bless you, May God bless this great state, and may God bless The United States of America!!! Good Night!" Cheers continue as Shapiro walks off stage, chants of "Shapiro!" and "USA!" Being the two cheers most heard.

BEN SHAPIRO SLAMS DAVID DUKE ON SEAN HANNITY SHOW on August 20th (Audience: 967,456)

"... before you go, may I ask you one question, Mr. Shapiro? Recently, David Duke has been gaining in the polls of several states. What do you think of his potential as a serious Candidate for the Republican Nomination?"

" Shapiro laughs for a solid 20 seconds I must be imagining things, cause no one would seriously think that. By God, you're serious. Listen,. David Duke is the candidate that once upon a time made a majority in the South. That time is gone now. America has changed. David Duke never was and never will be a serious Candidate for the Republican Nomination. He's a fraud who knows he's going to lose big and is as worth as much seriousness as a puppy pawing at your leg. It's there and it wants attention but if you ignore it enough, it'll eventually go away. I'm also not scared of losing supporters because of what I just said as I will never appeal to the majority of his supporters simply because I'm a Jew."

"Thank you for being on the show, Ben."

"It was an Honor being on it, Sean. Have a good day." Ben leaves

As you saw in the most recent news, I said that the Democrats are now less likely to have a brokered convention and to be divided for so long, which gives them a fair chance for this election. But if this is about making it fair for you, I will make more research for it.

Just read up on what happened today with Ajit Pai and the FCC vote to repeal net neutrality. You can say that Rubio's support of a repeal of Net Neutrality has hit him badly in terms of popularity, thus giving other repubs a fighting chance for a while.

Narrator: She filibustered to try and block the pipeline



Narrator: And now she wants to be a brave president, And you can help her by voting for her

Ben Shaprio Ad: A Better America

Under Marco Rubio, America failed to Recognize Jerusalem as the capital for our best Ally in the Middle East, Israel. This has been Bad for relations between our two countries relations.



In 2022, America is projected to go into another recession, due to Rubio's so called "tax cuts". The tax cuts will only benefit the majority of big businesses but not the ordinary citizen.



Rubio also allowed cable and other businesses monopolies remain unregulated, leading to corruption and everything else being rampant in the economy. Despite this, no new laws have been passed under Rubio to stop this.



Finally, under Rubio, the mix between Fossil Fuels and Green Energy will eventually lead to more and more jobs being lost as Green Energy begins to take over, leading unemployment to skyrocket. Do you want this for the American people?

Or do you want a better america? One without monopolies? one without Frosty relations with Israel? One with Unemployment staying down for good? One with the Economy doing better than ever? Vote Ben Shapiro for the Republican Nomination for President. Ben Shapiro: Not a Politician, America's savior.

Ben Shapiro Rally in Denver Colorado on August 22nd (Attendance: 4500)

"Hello Denver. I can't believe the recent polls from this state. 7% of you all believe in me here. To say I never expected that would be a lie. In truth, I expected to be rejected by most of you on account of my heritage. But now I know that isn't the case. Now, on to business. I'm sure you remember the promises that Rubio made. All those "We'll keep the economy from falling; We'll make sure unemployment stays at record lows." After doing the research for yourself, do you think that Rubio was a great choice now? All that will happen is a greater recession in 3 years, maybe 4 if we're lucky, more jobs being lost to green energy, and continued frosty relations with Israel. There is still time to fix this however. In order to do so, you must support me. I will work for you. I am not a politician. I will make every law able to be read by every American so they can actually know what it's about. Colorado, vote Ben Shapiro for the Republican Nomination for President! Thank you and God Bless you all!" Shapiro leaves stage as cheers erupt around it.

Marco Rubio 2020 : America First

Schedule from August 13-August 26 2019, Part 1

August 13
-Presidential duties in Washington D.C.

-President Rubio announces in a speech at the White House that the US is now the first nation to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and will relocate its embassy there from Tel Aviv.

August 14
-Presidential duties in Washington D.C.

-In an effort to grow the economy, President Rubio signs an executive order to use a part of the revenues from oil drilling, instead of taxpayers' money like the Democrats would do, into the development of renewable energies.

-President Rubio meets with Indian President Ram Nath Kovind at the White House where they discuss issues like economic ties, trade, democracy, human rights, freedom of religion, counter-terrorism and where they agreed on a new strategy to fight and defeat radical Islamic terrorism in Afghanistan.

August 15
-Presidential duties in Washington D.C.

-President Rubio holds a press conference at the White House where he announced a new strategy for the War in Afghanistan. He announced a proposal aimed at reducing the U.S. aid to Pakistan from 800 million dollars a year to 100 million dollars in economic and military aid and sales of military equipment due to Pakistan's sponsoring of terrorist groups in the region and also due to Pakistan's decision to arrest Shakil Afridi who made a great contribution in assisting U.S. efforts to find and kill Osama Bin Laden in 2011. President Rubio's measure has the objective of encouraging India to play a larger role in the War in Afghanistan by sending military ground troops in Afghanistan to fight terrorism (including ISIS, Al Qaida and the Taliban). As a result, the combination of the military strengths of the world's first military power (the United States) and of the 4th one (India) would definitely give the upper hand to the NATO allies and drastically accelerate radical Islamic terrorism's total defeat in Afghanistan and in the neighboring regions without needing to send additional troops in Afghanistan (which will allow us to accomplish our objectives in Afghanistan while saving hundreds of billions of dollars), thus ensuring peace and stability there. The President of the United States stated that the U.S. aid to Pakistan would rise again only if Pakistan accepts to stop sponsoring terrorist groups, to fully side with the United States and to bring full cooperation with full Pakistani cooperation with the United States in the War on Terror as well as broader counterterrorism efforts in the region. So President Rubio calls on the Congress to approve the Path to Victory and Peace Act that includes his plan for Afghanistan. The Senate vote will be scheduled on August 19 while the House vote (should it pass the Senate) will be set on August 26.

August 16
-Presidential duties in Washington D.C.

-President Rubio meets with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the White House where they discussed issues like economic and trade ties between the two nations, energy, democracy and counter-terrorism.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

August 14th: Ben Shapiro comments on Rubio recognizing that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel in New York City, NY (Attendance: 9500)

"Rubio only did this after I mentioned the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy act. He only did this because he knew that this would keep him popular with the jewish community in the United States. Rubio. Can I ask why you never did this before the primaries? He doesn't really care about Israel. He just wants your support. Had I not even run and talked about it, he never would've enacted it. So I ask you, my fellow Jews: Will you Take Rubio's pandering or will you rebel against him? Cheers shouting "Rubio the Panderer" and "Shapiro for America's David!" erupting as Shapiro leaves the stage to continue campaigning

Marco Rubio 2020 : America First

Schedule from August 13-August 26 2019, Part 2

Ben Shapiro doesn't seem to know anything about the economy. Let me remind you, that my administration's tax cuts benefited every single American, including the middle class, and for all businesses, including small businesses, and that's why the economy is getting faster and stronger, that's why the unemployment rate is going down. And recently, we brought integrity back to our financial system by allowing the Congress to audit the Federal Reserve because the people deserves the right to know who the bank gives money to. And we abolished Dodd-Frank in order to make sure small banks can recover and keep loaning money to small businesses, thus getting small businesses working again and creating jobs. Mr. Shapiro claims to be a fiscal conservative. Well that is simply not true. He wants to rise our nation's corporate tax rate from 20 % to 24 %, which will increase the size of government, make America a harder place to do business, kill American jobs and move American jobs and businesses overseas.

[Crowd boos]

That is exactly the last thing America needs. Mr. Shapiro doesn't know that the best way to grow the economy is to make America the best place in the world to do business. That's exactly what we did by reducing our corporate tax rate from 40 % to 20 %. That's also how we made our trade deals fair for American workers and how we increased America's competitiveness in the world economy. Mr. Shapiro's plan is a job-killer. He has never run a business and he has never been a member of a committee specialized in economics and businesses. He can't be trusted to handle the economy. When it comes to energy, Mr. Shapiro claims that my energy plan will cost jobs. Once again, this is not true. We ended the War on Coal, thus bringing American coal mining jobs back home, promoted clean coal technologies, doubled the number of permits and licenses on federal lands, encouraged oil production and drilling, approved the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, of the Dakota Access pipeline and of the Alaska-Texas pipeline, thus boosting job creation and accelerating our path to energy independence. Instead of using taxpayers' money to develop renewable energies like the Democrats are suggesting we will do so by using a part of the revenues from oil drilling, which will allow taxpayers to keep their money and allow us to develop renewable energies and to encourage further job creation while ensuring a clean environment.

So the choice for this race is untested leadership and risky ideas or proven leadership that is and will keep growing the economy and bring America to full-employment through the promotion of free market and free enterprise.

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

-Fundraising event in New York City, New York

So, Mr. Shapiro falsely claims that I don't care about Israel. This an outright lie and this is a calumny that is none other than an attempt at character assassination and he knows that very well. I strongly care about Israel like I always did. I demonstrated it over and over again. Throughout the last 3 years, we stood with Israel by abolishing Obama's Iran nuclear deal that was handing money to Iran who would have used this money to build nuclear weapons aimed at destroying Israel and America. We sanctioned any nation around the world that is sponsoring terrorism, including Venezuela that we put on the list of state sponsors of terrorism due to the Maduro regime's support to the Hezbollah, a radical Islamic terrorist group that is none other than one of Israel's sworn enemies. And let me remind you, Mr. Shapiro that in 2017, in the first year of my first term, we withdrew our nation from UNESCO because of anti-Israel bias there. And we recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. So this irresponsible and shameful to create false accusations in order to get votes. The moreover that Mr. Shapiro does not have the foreign policy experience to defend Israel and America against our common enemies. A President must be ready to be Commander-in-Chief on Day One. Mr. Shapiro will be on the job training if he's elected while I demonstrated my readiness to be President on Day One by taking the right decisions, including when it comes to foreign policy and Israel. That's why I'm asking for your vote because if you do, we will keep standing with Israel, we will get to a non-nuclear Iran and we will defeat global terrorism, including the Hezbollah and Hamas and we will get to peace through strength.

Thank you. God bless you all. God bless the Jewish community, God bless Israel and God bless America.

There's no doubt that infrastructure development is good for business and for the economy in general. But we need to develop our infrastructures in a fiscally responsible way in order to make sure the infrastructures that will be built won't be new bridges to nowhere. That's why we need to encourage public-private partnerships in order to fund transportation projects just like Governor Kasich did. Because most of the jobs are created in the private sector which explains why America must remain the best place in the world to do business. So by encouraging partnserships between the U.S. Department of Transportation and private sector companies specialized in infrastructure, transportation and engineering, we will put in place a great infrastructure project across the nation that will develop our infrastructures, thus facilitating economic and commercial activities across the country, encouraging our future business owners to choose America as the place to start their business, facilitating the implementation of new businesses here in America, encouraging innovation and engineering and boosting job creation. This will be a bridge to the future.

Speech at Smith-Hammond-Middleton Memorial Center, Orangeburg South Carolina

Despite electing America's first Black President eleven years ago, America's record on race is not good. We have black youth being shot by cops in the streets for the color of their skin. As President I will change this. My Justice Department will vigorously prosecute police shootings, and will remove the term "justified shooting" from the police lexicon. There are after all, other ways to take down armed criminals, like Tasers, and Mace.

August 19, 2016

Meet Voters in Lynchburg, Tennessee

Speech in Tullahoma, Tennessee

President Rubio chose to move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem for political expediency, thus risking the first full scale war between Israel and her neighbors since 1973. While I agree that Jerusalem is the capital of a Jewish state, it makes no sense to inflame over a dozen governments in the region and risk tearing up peace agreements with Jordan and Egypt.
