President Trump, speaking at the first-ever GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas, urged supporters to "pretend that I'm on the ballot" in the upcoming midterm elections, which are 54 days away. He also promised every adult American $5,000 if Republicans win the House and Senate, a proposal whose legality and funding source are unclear, with an estimated cost of $1.3 trillion. Trump dismissed concerns about the rising cost of living, claiming oil prices would "plummet" after the midterms.

WHY IT MATTERS

President Trump's direct appeal to voters, unprecedented financial promise, and claims about economic recovery are attempts to influence crucial midterm elections that will determine control of Congress. His statements on the economy and the legal implications of his $5,000 promise could significantly impact public discourse and voter behavior.

ALSO DISCUSSED

The episode also covers extreme weather in Southern California, warnings from AI industry insiders about the technology's dangers, a deadly cargo plane crash in Miami, and heightened security in New York City for 9/11 and Rosh Hashanah.
