00:00Trump went to talk about the border.

00:02He mentions that this has been a battleground for border issues over the course of the last

00:07couple of years.

00:08He repeated a couple of falsehoods, once again about the 300 or so thousand children that

00:13have gone missing or have been trafficked.

00:15The number, of course, not that high.

00:17Of course, it's also been the battleground for other legal fights along the border, including

00:23with the governor, Greg Abbott, and the Biden administration.

00:26He's put up hundreds of miles worth of razor wire to try to stop illegal migration across

00:32the Rio Grande River from Mexico into Texas.

00:35That has been a hot-button issue over the course of the last year or so.

00:39And now he's moving on to doing a podcast with Joe Rogan, who is the world's most popular

00:43podcaster and is very widely listened to, the same kind of group of people that Donald

00:48Trump wants to reach, that under 30 or so male who Donald Trump is trying to get out

00:54in droves to hand him the election.

00:57A very different kind of approach from Kamala Harris, who is there to talk about another

01:03issue which has made Texas a battleground, which is abortion rights.

01:07She will be using some of her advocates in the area to push forward her message.

01:13She's just released a new advert on TV, which is very powerful, it must be said, which features

01:18a Texas couple on there, as well, and features their story about how abortion bans in Texas

01:22impacted their lives.

01:24And she's going to be using some star power to do that, as well.

01:27She's got Beyonce with her, which I must admit, I'm very sad that I'm not in Houston for,

01:31especially after we thought she was going to be at the DNC and she didn't turn up.

01:34Well, she is going to be in Houston, Texas, her hometown, and the Democrats are hoping

01:40that some star power will go some way to driving people out to the polls.

01:44Of course, this hot on the heels of using Bruce Springsteen in Georgia, and he will

01:48be joining them again later on in the campaign trail.
