Happy Friday, Wake Up Right fam. Today, our beloved ‘Border Czar,’ Kamala Harris, travels to the southern border. Why would she go now after ignoring it for four years? Politics. Polls repeatedly show Americans prefer Trump over Kamala to fix our border crisis. So today, she’ll pose for photos wearing some cool aviator sunglasses and tell everyone how she was a tough California prosecutor who went after the Cartels.

What she won’t tell you is that she’s let more than 10 million unvetted illegal aliens into your communities. She won’t mention Lanken Riley’s name or the names of any other Americans killed by illegal aliens. And she won’t tell you that if she wins, she plans to give every illegal alien a pathway to citizenship and ensure Democrats never lose another election again.

That’s what’s on the line.

• 🆚 2024 polling average: Trump 47.1%, Harris 49.1%

• 📬️ Stamp prices will increase 5 times by 2027

• 🛢️ U.S. crude oil stockpiles hit lowest levels in 2 1/2 years

• ❎ Just 22% of Americans trust the government to do what is right

Fact-checking Kamala’s claim that Trump killed manufacturing jobs

Even CNN is calling out Kamala Harris for lying during an interview with MSNBC where she claimed Donald Trump lost "at least 200,000" manufacturing jobs.

The details: On Thursday evening, Stephanie Ruhle hosted a softball interview with Kamala Harris on MSNBC. When the topic of jobs and the economy came up, the V.P. claimed: “Even before the pandemic, [Trump] lost manufacturing jobs – by most people’s estimates, at least 200,000.”

CNN’s Fact Check: The left-wing news outlet admitted in a Wednesday article: “Harris’ claim is false. Trump presided over a gain of 414,000 US manufacturing jobs” before the pandemic.

Kamala doubles down: The day after her big lie on MSNBC, she posted on X, saying, “Donald Trump is one of the biggest losers of manufacturing in American history,” and he “lost nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs.”

Where did Kamala get 200,000? When the U.S. economy shut down during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 1.3 million manufacturing jobs were wiped out in April 2020. Even though they steadily returned over the next eight months, it still left Trump with a 178,000 deficit.

Let’s talk numbers: Despite the damage done by the China Virus, when Donald Trump left office:

• 📉 Inflation was 1.4%, under Kamala, total CPI is up 20.2%

• ⛽️ Gas cost $2.39 per gallon, today its $3.22

• 🏡 Mortgage rate was 2.8%, today it’s over 6%

Big picture: The economy consistently ranks as voters' top issue heading into the 2024 election, which is why Kamala is desperately trying to mislead the public on Trump’s record.

Crime is up in big cities, despite Democrat gaslighting

During the presidential debate earlier this month, ABC News moderator David Muir “fact-checked” Donald Trump’s claim that crime is “through the roof.” It turns out the biased network host was wrong, and Trump was right.

The fact check: As Trump highlighted the blight of crime that the Biden-Harris regime has cast on the United States, Muir interrupted him, saying: “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”

The truth is that the FBI data is misleading. When Biden and Kamala took office, the bureau changed how it worked with local governments, making it more complicated and burdensome for them to report crime data. As a result, major crime hubs like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York stopped reporting. Muir did not mention this.

Real data: The FBI is not the only national crime data collector in town. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) operates the National Crime Victimization Survey and releases its annual report every September. Their latest report just dropped and shows Donald Trump was right and David Muir was wrong. It found that since Trump left office:

• 🚨 total violent crime is up 37%

• 🚨 rape is up 42%

• 🚨 assaults are up 33%

• 🚨 property crime is up 8%

• 🚨 motor vehicle theft is up 41%

Americans know Trump is right: In a 2023 Gallup poll, 77% of Americans said they believed crime was up from the previous year, including 58% of Democrats.

The last word goes to Trump's campaign Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who said: "ONLY President Trump will restore law and order, protect our police, secure the border, deport illegal immigrants, and prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law. If you want to be safe, VOTE TRUMP."
