NEW and EXCLUSIVE— I sat down today for @BreitbartNews with @SecRubio at @StateDept for a long-form on-camera interview. First piece of it just published — in it, Rubio explains the America First foreign policy.

“What’s right for America before anything else”

"Days before the Nov. 3 election, the Democratic fiancé of former Senate hopeful Haley Stevens declared he intends to vote for Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate, saying he's become convinced over the last three months that Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is an antisemite."

Ted Cruz on SCOTUS would be awesome. Again, have my political disagreements with him and it’s silly for him to run for president in 2028. But SCOTUS? Great spot for him.

I just voted early here in Florida and since again I believe in transparency among our media I am going to say who I voted for and encourage everyone else in the American press to be transparent about their votes as well no matter who they vote for (most will vote Democrat but lie and claim to be “objective.” There is no such thing as objectivity. It’s a make-believe concept that allows leftists to hide. They should just be honest with their audiences that they are a bunch of radical socialist leftists.)

I voted straight Republican ticket. I enthusiastically voted for @ByronDonalds for governor and @AshleyMoodyFL for U.S. Senate. I even held my nose and voted for @JRutherfordFL for Congress (I do not think he should be a Congressman given his history of corruption around stock trades among many other issues but I cannot reward radical leftists who are extreme with power. Rutherford’s day will come but let’s not install psychopaths to remove bad Republicans.) I voted for Republicans for all the other statewide offices too and for state representative.

Florida needs to stay red to stay on the positive trajectory this state has been on. That’s where I stand. Now, to the rest of you in the press, who are you voting for? Be honest.

National Dems have a history of this kind of behavior in NH but I will say Sen. Jeanne Shaheen personally overrode it when it happened to me in 2014.

I was in NH for a month or so covering Scott Brown vs Shaheen for @BreitbartNews in the late stages of the 2014 campaign. Shaheen campaign operatives (really national Dem staffers who were flown up from DC for the final two months of a banner senate race) kicked me out of an open press event. It became a huge issue and @steinhauserNH1 spoke out as did many other NH journalists. To her credit, and I don’t think she knew this happened until it hit the news, Shaheen personally made sure I had access to her future events. She even went out of her way to take a question or two from me at every gaggle or press conference from that point forward.

I saw the national Dem staffer in question the day after the election at the Manchester airport catching a flight back to Washington. He didn’t say a word to me then or ever again the entire campaign.

Anyway, lesson here is if you behave like Kamala Harris team is behaving with this you cause yourself more problems. If you do the classy thing like Shaheen did with me, you probably end up winning.

For the 400 people who asked me if the Ohio ad hurt the GOP ticket, the answer is no. I have reviewed today’s numbers.

The top 27 counties in terms of turning out their 2024 presidential vote count remain Trump-won. There are 88 counties.

Athens County, #28 ranked in this and the first blue county we find under this measure, fell from 25th yesterday.

Summit County (Akron) falls from 61 to 63. Cuyahoga (Cleveland) is at 64. Lucas (Toledo), the key county for the new OH-9 boundaries, is at 69th. Hamilton (Cincinnati, OH-1) is at 71st. Franklin County (Columbus) falls from 69 to 77.

Dead last we have Montgomery County, which has remained ranked dead last at 88 for the six days I’ve tracked this spreadsheet. It has 22,898 votes cast (12.2% of its 2022 Sen and 8.9% of its 2024 Pres).

No, the advertisement didn’t do a damn thing.

Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this.

Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts.

It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter.

Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so.

Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa.

Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent.

JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.

🚨 "Wedgewood Polls" just announced it was a FAKE POLLSTER and was listed in outlets like the NYT and MSNOW

Their "polls":
🔵 Texas: Talarico+2
🔵 Ohio: Brown+4
🔵 Michigan: El Sayed+6
🔵 Kansas: Hamilton+2
🔵 Maine: Jackson+4

This is INSANE.

If we're not looking out for the national interest of Americans, no one will.

MARICOPA COUNTY:

🔴 29,878 (39%)
🔵 28,996 (38%)
🟠 17,688 (23%)

Republicans didn’t accomplish this until just a few days before 2022 election day.

Good signs

WORK HARDER

Noon update: Rs crushing it so far today in in-person early voting, including Clark, where they lead Dems by 300 ballots. They are winning every county (except for 0 votes in tiny Esmeralda), have a 13 percentage point lead.

Please respond with the genius tweets I expect!

Dems have multiple key wins in reach in NC/GA.

Reps have multiple key wins in reach in the Industrial and Upper Midwest.

NY is looking like there will be tight statewide races.

In the Southwest, Latino gains are not collapsing to pre-2020 levels as some feared. GOP surpassing expectations in AZ/NV, and likely soon to be known TX.

These themes have been present for some time.

BREITBART: Secretary Marco Rubio after Acropolis Address: Americans ‘the Heirs’ of Western Civilization, ‘Things We Believe as a Country Are Important’ breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

Michigan's mail returns still aren't showing a blue tsunami. Since my Oct 16 update: 53k more returns. Counties Trump won now have 47.91%,vs. 47.83% then and 47.12% at this point in '24. Three days later, the redder mix is holding.

🚨 JUST IN: Republicans now lead Nevada early voting overall and are ahead today by +12 POINTS

Today in person: 🔴 R+11.9
Total in person: 🔴 R+1.3

It looks like the GOP in Nevada has picked up momentum after Dems' initial burst. KEEP IT GOING!

Folks, when I tell you that rural Nevada could give the Republicans a shot in the arm today and going forward, consider these numbers from those 15 counties today so far.

The margins are really something!

Jon Husted is the firewall against a socialist takeover of the U.S. Senate. If Sherrod Brown loses, the Democrats’ chances of taking Senate majority plummet. Ohio can save America one more time by sending the radical left packing!

🚨 @SecRubio dares Democrats to campaign on 'America Second' since they dislike 'America First':

“If they don’t like ‘America First,’ they should have the guts to run for office on ‘America Second’ or ‘America Third’ or ‘America Last.’”

“America First is common sense. That’s what it is.”

Secretary Rubio: Before what is good for another country, before what is good for another continent, it's what's good for America. It has to be. Because if we're not looking out for our national interest, nobody else is going to.
