Wed: Trump's $5K Bribe or Genius Turnout Play?

Episode Description from the Publisher

Thursday, September 10: Trump closes his Dallas convention speech with a jaw-dropping promise — a $5,000 dividend for every American adult, contingent on Republicans sweeping the House and Senate this November. Rush and Reagan grade the bet live, and it's messier than it sounds. This episode breaks down the actual price tag on the pledge, the trillion-dollar funding gap nobody in the campaign has explained, and whether offering cash tied to an election outcome crosses into bribery territory under federal law. The hosts also dig into Fox News' own on-air skepticism, a budget expert's blunt fact-check, and the ready-made attack ad Democrats can build from a single on-record accusation. Rush calls it a turnout masterstroke; Reagan calls it a panic move dressed up as confidence. Their final grades land on opposite ends of the scale. Where do you land on this one — genius or desperation? Weigh in, and catch us for Thursday's convention finale coverage. } }}}} 📣 We Want to Hear from You! - 📝 Submit a question Links Claim my Silver Offer https://go.heymato.com/rushlindell
