Money expert <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/economic-guru-dave-ramsey-asked-both-trump-and-kamala-for-interview-heres-what-happened" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dave Ramsey</a> told his listeners this week he&#8217;s voting for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election &#8212; marking the first time Ramsey has publicly backed a presidential candidate.
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna tell ya, I&#8217;m voting for Donald Trump,&#8221; Ramsey said on &#8220;The Ramsey Show.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m looking at ideas, and which ideas land on which side of the aisle &#8212; where am I most likely gonna get a tax policy I like; an immigration policy I like; a foreign policy I like; where am I most likely to get a gun policy I like; a climate change policy I like; a &#8216;woke&#8217; policy I like, that I agree with?&#8221; he outlined. &#8220;I can check those boxes very clearly, very quickly on these two candidates.&#8221;
The announcement seemed to come as a surprise to Rachel Cruz, Ramsey&#8217;s daughter, who interjected, &#8220;Oh my gosh &#8212; are we going here?&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s okay,&#8221; Ramsey reassured her, before detailing how it doesn&#8217;t bother him if people are angry about his public backing of Trump.
&#8220;Some of you are never gonna listen to me again after this &#8212; that&#8217;s okay,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;I can deal with that. That&#8217;s happened to me for 30 years. People have threatened me with, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to cancel you.&#8217; That&#8217;s hard to do. I own the show.&#8221;

Ramsey has a tendency to stay out of politics and routinely tells his audience that they can protect and grow their wealth no matter who is in the White House. The host, though, did reach out to both Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump last month, hoping to speak to them about economic issues as so many Americans struggle. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/economic-guru-dave-ramsey-asked-both-trump-and-kamala-for-interview-heres-what-happened" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Only Trump agreed to the interview</a>.
“Several weeks ago, our team reached out [to] Vice President Harris and President Donald Trump and offered the ability to sit down and have a discussion about ideas,” Ramsey said. “The Harris camp has our request, and the last word we got, it was under review. So it’s not been a yes, not been a no from them.”
Trump, though, quickly agreed, and Ramsey sat down with the former president for an interview mostly about economic issues.

Apolitical money expert Dave Ramsey said he asked both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris for a sit-down interview &#8212; but so far, only Trump has agreed to the discussion, while Harris&#8217; team sits on the request.
&#8220;Several weeks ago, our team reached out [to] Vice President Harris and President Donald Trump and offered the ability to sit down and have a discussion about ideas,&#8221; Ramsey said this past weekend.
&#8220;The Harris camp has our request, and the last word we got, it was under review,&#8221; he told his audience. &#8220;So it’s not been a yes, not been a no from them.&#8221;
Trump, though, said yes. In fact, the pair have already sat down for the interview.
&#8220;I flew to New York. And at this time yesterday, I was in Trump Tower interviewing President Donald Trump,&#8221; Ramsey said.
The expert has a tendency to stay out of politics and routinely tell his audience that they can protect and grow their wealth no matter who is in the White House.
However, Ramsey explained that he wanted to speak to both candidates about the things that are really hurting Americans, like the price of eggs. This was precisely what his first question was to Trump &#8212; and will be to Harris, if she ever accepts his offer.
&#8220;I just said Mr. President, we talk to real people every day,&#8221; Ramsey outlined. &#8220;Let me tell you what they&#8217;re concerned about. They&#8217;re not concerned about a bunch of the stuff you&#8217;re talking about. The stuff they&#8217;re concerned about is $7 eggs, $5 gas, 7% interest rates, and house prices going up faster than their wages are going up. This black cloud that&#8217;s over our economic situation right now. And we could talk about how it got there. We could talk about what you used to do. We could talk about the current administration. But I don&#8217;t really want to. What I want to talk about is what you&#8217;re going to do in the first 90 days to get this black cloud off of America.&#8221;

&#8220;That was my first question,&#8221; he reiterated. &#8220;And I&#8217;ll ask Vice President Harris this exact same question if I get the opportunity.&#8221;

Ramsey previewed his sit-down with Trump on X. &#8220;Last week, I flew to Trump Tower to sit down with President [Donald Trump] and talk about ideas. It was fun. It was interesting,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I’ve interviewed past presidents before, but never anything quite like this. And I’ll do the same thing with Vice President Harris if I get the chance. We’ll have the full Donald Trump interview out this Wednesday, October 2.&#8221;
In the short video clip posted by Ramsey, Trump said he&#8217;s watched the expert his &#8220;whole life.&#8221; &#8220;This should be the easiest interview, because I&#8217;ve learned from him (Ramsey),&#8221; Trump joked.

Ramsey noted that he was taking heat from some listeners for daring to speak to Trump, and made it clear that he does not care. He called those who are offended &#8220;narrow-minded and too stupid to talk to.&#8221;
&#8220;You need to learn to engage ideas and engage things that make you uncomfortable,&#8221; he said, adding that he feels the same about those who might be offended if he speaks to Harris.

Economic Guru Dave Ramsey Asked Both Trump And Kamala For Interview. Here’s What Happened

Economic Guru Dave Ramsey Asked Both Trump And Harris For Interview. Here’s What Happened

Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey is rescuing a pro-Israel conference from cancellation after a Nashville hotel backed out from hosting because of alleged threats by anti-Israel activists.
When Ramsey heard that a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-hamas-thugs-nashville-hotel-backs-out-of-hosting-pro-israel-conference-after-pressure-campaign">Nashville hotel revoked access</a> for the Israel Summit, an event scheduled for next week that will feature prominent Christians and Jews, organizers say Ramsey got in touch and offered not only to host it, but also to help make it even bigger. 
“Dave Ramsey reached out and said, ‘You’re going to have it at my place and we’re going to take this event to a whole new level and make it 10x what it was before,’” Joshua Waller, a host of the <a href="https://theisraelguys.com/">Israel Guys</a> podcast who is co-hosting the event, told The Daily Wire. “All of the details have come together and the event is skyrocketing in numbers.”
The Israel Summit <a href="https://events.theisraelguys.com/">describes itself</a> as the first gathering of pro-Israel supporters who “unconditionally support Israel’s right to be sovereign in the entirety of the land of Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the Gaza Strip.”
Along with The Israel Guys, the event is sponsored by <a href="https://serveisrael.com/">HaYovel</a>, an organization started by Waller more than 20 years ago which brings Christians to volunteer at farms in Judea and Samaria, and the Christan-Jewish bridge building nonprofits, Israel365 and Keep God’s land.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-the-american-cowboys-who-rushed-to-israel-to-fill-in-for-farmers-called-up-to-fight-hamas">HaYovel went viral</a> after Hamas’s brutal October 7 attack for bringing a group of American cowboys to help Israelis in need of labor as foreign agriculture workers fled and men were called up to fight in the war.

“Ramsey Solutions is proud to stand beside our friends from Israel by providing them a safe place to hold their event as our gift to them,” Ramsey Solutions said in a statement.
Despite Sonesta Hotel backing out from hosting the event, the event will take place on the same days it was originally scheduled for next week. It will move from Nashville to nearby Franklin, Tennessee, where Ramsey Solutions is headquartered.
“National news has taken on the story and the stage that we had planned for our Israeli friends has gotten so much bigger than we could have ever dreamed of,” Waller said. “This is the incredible story of bringing Israel to Nashville because so many of the best of Israel now have an incredible place to speak.”
“We’re so grateful to Ramsey Solutions for hosting the event,” Waller added.
Speakers include former U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Member of Knesset Ohad Tal, Israeli musician Yair Levi, CEO of National Religious Broadcasters Troy Miller, and several pro-Israel journalists and activists.
Sonesta Hotel was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-hamas-thugs-nashville-hotel-backs-out-of-hosting-pro-israel-conference-after-pressure-campaign">pressured to cancel</a> the event after a coordinated group of anti-Israel activists claimed the event would “recruit new Zionists” and pushed for people to call and email the venue to “demand for the immediate cancellation of this event.”
“Because of threats from radical anti-American, anti-Israel, and pro-Hamas hate groups, the hotel canceled on us,” Waller said. 
First Liberty Institute, which is representing the Israel Summit, accused Sonesta of religious discrimination and violating Tennessee state law and Title II of the Civil Rights Act.
The hotel <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nashville-hotel-legal-scrutiny-canceling-pro-israel-summit-safety-concerns">told Fox News</a> that it consulted with local law enforcement and that the decision to pull out was because the event “presented a considerable risk to the safety of our team, our guests and those attending the event given heightened security concerns.”
<a href="https://fox17.com/news/local/nashville-sonesta-airport-hotel-cancels-summit-on-israel-amid-alleged-threats-garnering-pushback-middle-tennessee">According</a> to FOX 17 News, the Metro Nashville Police said they &#8220;did not advocate, in any shape or form, for the cancellation of the conference at the Sonesta Hotel.”
