Musk’s Billion-Viewed Interview of Trump
Elon Musk’s interview with Donald Trump on August 12th has been viewed or heard a billion times. By comparison, the typical audience on Fake Tapper’s CNN is less than a million viewers.
“I heard them talk about the border extensively, and I heard them talk about the economy extensively. And that is why Trump resonates with so many people because he’s speaking to the issues,” the popular black podcaster Charlamagne tha God said about Trump’s interview.
Contrast that with Kamala Harris, who has not answered questions from the media since June, when she told NBC’s Lester Holt that “We’ve been to the border.” When Holt pointed out that “You haven’t been to the border,” Kamala oddly responded “And I haven’t been to Europe” (which wasn’t true).
When Harris does speak, she makes stilted comments that avoid the real issues and instead resort to identity politics, as if harping on her gender and mixed race would make everyday Americans forget the abysmal record of the Biden-Harris administration.
But rather than call on Kamala to give a similar interview, which Elon Musk has offered to her, liberals and foreign countries attempt to censor this quintessential freedom of speech by Trump. The Leftist-controlled United Auto Workers (UAW) filed a labor complaint against both Musk and Trump, merely because Trump quipped about telling workers something similar to “you’re fired,” the familiar catchphrase of his hugely successful TV show.
Advertisers and even an advertising trade group have unlawfully boycotted X, as Musk documented in a lawsuit he filed in early August in Texas. The trade association, which the House Judiciary Committee recently found had engaged in illegal anti-competitive practices, quickly disbanded after Musk took them on in court.
A Washington Post reporter asked the White House press secretary what the Biden administration was doing to censor this political interview, which was not fully answered. “What role does the White House or the president have in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of … intervening in that?” The clear, easy answer should have been, “None.”
The London police chief vows to extradite and jail Americans for comments on X, while European countries sought to censor this Trump interview by threatening Musk with penalties for “amplification of harmful content” that could “generate detrimental effects on civic discourse.” With all the loose talk about interference by foreigners in U.S. elections, why would we allow a European bureaucrat to censor an interview of an American presidential candidate?
Trump was undeterred. “I know the European Union very well. They take great advantage of the United States in trade” while “we protect them” through NATO. “And yet, if you build a car in the United States, you can’t sell it in Europe.”
“The same thing with our farmers. Our farmers find it very difficult to do business” in Europe, with which we have a trade deficit of $250 billion.
Musk is a former Democrat who supported Obama. But he rattled off six reasons for endorsing Trump: making cities safe, securing our borders, reducing government overspending that is causing inflation, deregulating, exciting new projects, and less vilification of oil and gas.
Trump stated that we would not have a country anymore if Kamala Harris were to win in November. “You don’t have a country … if they get in, you will have 50 to 60 million people from all over the world, not South America only.”
Trump pointed out that “Kamala was the border czar. Now she’s denying it.” Kamala Harris has the power to close the southern border right now, yet fails to.
Trump spoke about the many criminals crossing over our open southern border due to Harris, adding that there are hordes of “nonproductive” illegals coming in, too. “They are just nonproductive, I mean, for whatever reason. They’re not workers or they don’t want to work or whatever,” Trump explained.
Trump added that the U.S. has already spent at least $250 billion on the Ukraine-Russia war, while European countries have spent only about $71 billion. Europe is much closer to that border dispute and has far more at stake, yet has spent less than a third of what we have committed, although Europe has roughly the same economic strength as the U.S.
When the interview turned to the topic of education, Trump vowed to shut down the Department of Education and return to the states their ability to make their schools great again. We are far behind countries like Norway in the quality of our schools.
Kamala Harris is “a radical left lunatic. And if she’s going to be our president, very quickly you’re not going to have a country anymore,” Trump observed.
“She believes in defunding the police. She believes in no fracking, zero. … If they got in, the day she got in, she’ll end fracking,” which is essential to Pennsylvania’s economy.
“In many cases, the people from within are more dangerous for our country than the Russia’s and the China’s,” Trump observed.
Dumb and Dumber: Dems Pick a Doozy for VP
The most important criterion for a vice president is the capability to serve competently as the president, should that become necessary. Some say that is the only necessary test, as a vice president’s job is mostly to stand around in case there is a vacancy at the top.
Tim Walz, Harris’s surprise pick for VP, flunks that test badly. His career was as a high school geography teacher and assistant football coach. Perhaps Walz was chosen as impeachment insurance for Kamala Harris, because as bad as Kamala would be no one would want the clueless Walz running our country. This ticket of Harris and Walz reminds us of the hit comedy, “Dumb and Dumber.”
We have been witnessing the calamities that occur when we have a president who is not mentally up to the many difficult challenges of that job. Maintaining peace through strength as president, or presiding over the Senate as vice president, are more demanding than being an assistant football coach of teenagers, which was the highlight of Walz’s career after he graduated with a degree in social science education from Chadron State College.
Harris thumbed her nose at Pennsylvania and Arizona by passing over their stronger contenders for this selection. The grip held by the transgender and LGBTQ faction on the Democrat Party partly explains this choice, which was contrary to what experts were predicting.
As the Minnesota governor, Walz allowed and welcomed transgender surgeries on children, which harm them for life, and is supportive of unlimited abortion on demand. He has a 100% rating by Planned Parenthood, and he lacks any strong religious affiliation that might get in the way of the far-left agenda on social issues.
Meanwhile, Walz banned therapies that might reduce same-sex attractions, while allowing therapies that promote LGBTQ+ conduct. Infringing on the First Amendment, Walz signed a law threatening license revocation of any physician or therapist who refers to LGBTQ+ tendencies as a “mental disease, disorder or illness,” or offers to rectify gender confusion.
Walz satisfied Dems’ litmus test of being an outspoken advocate of more U.S. military aid to Ukraine in its never-ending, NATO-induced war with Russia. The first shipment of F-16 fighters has just arrived in Ukraine, which enables it to bomb deep into Russia and thereby entangle us further in that war.
By pandering to the teachers’ union to which he once belonged, Walz first became a congressman with an undistinguished record, and then the Minnesota governor in 2019. Democrats apparently hope to appeal to rural, high school-educated voters in the Midwest with this choice.
But those rural voters lacking a college degree who overwhelmingly support Trump are not going to prefer an underachieving alternative. An officer in his battalion said that Walz didn’t fully satisfy the coursework curriculum required for his rank by the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy while he was in the Minnesota National Guard.
In 1995, Walz was arrested for driving 96 miles per hour while drunk, more than 40 miles per hour over the speed limit. CNN says his first congressional campaign “repeatedly made false statements about” this arrest.
The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul have among the highest commercial vacancy rates among American cities, because many businesses have moved out due to Walz’s pandering to the Left. Walz sided with Black Lives Matter, refusing to send in the National Guard for three days while Minneapolis burned, and he has hindered the ability of the police to protect retail stores and law-abiding citizens.
In picking Walz, Harris passed over the battleground state of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who might have helped her win some votes there. Walz is not equipped to become president, in sharp contrast with Trump’s accomplished VP, JD Vance.
The never-Trumper neocons are among the biggest losers in this selection of Walz, who is not even from a swing state that he might help Democrats carry. The warmongers lobbied hard for Shapiro, who would at least have some credibility on the world stage while Walz does not.
But a nothing-ticket is exactly what the globalist power-brokers want: candidates they can completely control. Walz is plainly a puppet for the elite, as is Harris, so this is their dream ticket.
MAGA Is Unstoppable Now
Legendary heroism shined from Trump and his MAGA supporters who attended the Pennsylvania rally where a gunman shot Trump and attendees from a rooftop 400 feet away. The shooter easily evaded law enforcement but did not scare Trump or his MAGA supporters, who held their ground and chanted “USA” after Trump pumped his fist in response to the deadly gunfire.
Video captured fearless MAGA attendees who cared more about Trump’s safety than trying to flee the area to protect themselves, as customarily happens when crowds panic. Some attendees even spotted and filmed the gunman bear-crawling ominously on a nearby roof before he began shooting, and alerted law enforcement to no avail.
Earlier in the day, the assassin went to Home Depot and purchased a metal ladder, which he could have easily used to climb onto a factory roof from where he had his straight rifle shot at Trump. A local police counter-sniper team was absurdly huddled inside the same building during all this, while the Secret Service protection did not extend its security perimeter as far as a mere 400 feet from the podium.
It is the duty of the Secret Service, not local police, to fully protect the leading presidential candidate, who is Trump. The Director of Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, who obtained her job through Jill Biden, subsequently admitted that this security breach was ultimately her responsibility.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) was her priority, resulting in a catastrophic failure to do her own job. Her explanation for not placing a Secret Service agent on the rooftop used by the gunman with a straight shot at the future president was ridiculous and after mounting GOP scrutiny and pressure, Cheatle finally resigned.
“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” Cheatle said to ABC News on July 16.
The scrawny gunman with no military background or athletic prowess had no difficulty attaining the peak of the unguarded roof, a high point that every competent security expert knows should be protected, and from there shot with deadly accuracy at Trump. Many, including Elon Musk, faulted the DEI mindset for this security failure.
Burly MAGA supporters would have been thrilled to stand guard on the slightly sloped rooftops, while enjoying Trump’s presentation. Instead, the Biden administration disarmed all the MAGA attendees, and failed to protect them against the shooter who killed one heroic former fire chief, critically injured two others, and shot our future president Trump.
The biased liberal headlines immediately afterward, despite blood streaming down Trump’s face, included “Trump escorted away after loud noises at Pa. rally” in the Washington Post, and “Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after he falls at rally” by CNN. “Trump removed from stage by Secret Service after loud noises startles former president, crowd,” was the USA Today headline.
Liberals lament how outspoken billionaires like Musk have frustrated their ability to control the narrative about this shooting. Now the Biden administration (FBI and DHS) are even falsely warning of “retaliatory acts of violence” by Trump supporters!
This shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was said to have been a video game enthusiast, which means he probably spent many isolated hours each week playing violent video games. A common characteristic of young men who go on shooting sprees is their addiction to violent video games, which train them to rapidly fire to score as many points as possible.
The FBI has reportedly since told local authorities, including police and even his high school, not to speak with the media, which enables the FBI to control the narrative. The FBI has his laptop, but is not disclosing to the public how Crooks spent his time on it as he lived at home.
While law enforcement made many mistakes resulting in this egregious breach of security by a neophyte, its biggest mistake of all is in treating MAGA rally attendees as adversaries rather than allies in protecting Trump. The shooter was acting suspiciously before the rally, as noticed by a police officer, and any MAGA attendee would have been happy and unafraid to keep his eye on this killer if merely asked to do so.
Biden’s cold, callous statements after the shooting on July 13 blamed everyone except himself and his own political appointee for failing to safeguard Trump against a kid with a rifle. The GOP-majority House held a hearing on what even Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, admits was a security failure, and ultimately the director of the Secret Service resigned.
California Kamala: a Catastrophe for our Country
Barely 100 days before the biggest election of our lifetimes, Democrats have changed their horse during the race. Power brokers gave Joe Biden an ultimatum with a deadline of Sunday July 21st to withdraw from his reelection campaign, despite how he was the democratically nominated candidate who said emphatically on July 19th that he would remain in the race.
This arm-twisting of an American president by insiders and billionaires was humiliating to the United States, and another sign of decline about which Trump rightly complains. The signature on Biden’s withdrawal letter did not match Biden’s signature on his executive orders and other public documents.
The passage of days without Biden speaking publicly to the American people about this was also shocking. A terrible precedent is set if powerful insiders can force a president to sign a letter of resignation, possibly against his free will, without the president first looking the American people in the eye to explain himself.
This behind-the-scenes manipulation of our president reinforces the need to elect Trump to Make America Great Again. The liberal media criticized Trump for saying at his enormous Michigan rally on July 20th that America is failing, but the next day the proof came in with this suspicious withdrawal by President Biden, as conveyed merely by a posting on X.com.
Within 24 hours Democrats announced that enough delegates had been lined up to nominate as Biden’s replacement Kamala Harris, who rose through the ranks in California on the arm of the Golden State’s most powerful politician, Willie Brown. No world leader is going to take Harris seriously with that background, and she won’t be able to end the Ukraine-Russia war as Trump would quickly do.
An escalation of the war against Russia is what power brokers want in picking Harris. The Deep State would be in charge if she were to become president, and while Biden was dropping out, two U.S. Air Force B-52H bombers were sent by someone to Russia’s border near Finland to be confronted by Russian MiG-29 and MiG-31 fighter jets.
The pandemic of homelessness and crime in San Francisco became far worse while Harris was Attorney General of the State, unwilling to do anything to clean it up. Harris also fully supports the anti-parent transgender movement which just enacted a new California law to stop teachers from informing parents about their gender-confused children, a law that Elon Musk has sharply criticized.
Musk packed his bags and moved two of his companies out of California, and we do not want businesses and people moving out of the United States under California Kamala as president. She was the DEI pick for VP in 2020, and before that her record was devoid of any accomplishments, in contrast with Trump’s record of enormous achievements during his first term as president.
Trump can campaign against involving the U.S. in foreign wars, which is an issue that has won for Republican candidates in the past because most Americans are opposed to these wars and against looting Americans to fund them. The draft has been reinstated in some European countries in anticipation of the Ukraine-Russia war getting worse, and Trump can win by emphasizing that he will end that war.
The transgender issue is another winner for Trump in the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. California is far to the Left of middle America, and many parents are distressed about how schools are misleading their children about gender confusion.
The inexperience of Harris in handling the responsibilities of a presidency is a campaign theme that will resonate with voters, as the Biden-Harris inflation ravages everyone’s savings and salaries. Immature, not-ready-for-prime-time, unpresidential and even the “Joker” are all adjectives that fit Harris.
California values have never before been allowed to take control of the White House, as all prior presidents from California were Republicans. Californian Willie Brown said recently about his former side chick Kamala Harris that Biden should resign now to allow Harris to become president immediately, and thereby increase her chances of being elected in November.
Mistress Kamala has already failed miserably in the one job she was given, which was to take charge of our southern border. We’ve had the worst migrant crisis in our history on her watch.
“Hypocrite Harris” would be an apt nickname for how she relentlessly prosecuted many petty marijuana offenses in California, and then laughed in response to whether she smoked pot herself. When it became politically advantageous to advocate for legalizing the drug, she jumped on that bandwagon.
Whether it’s “Mistress Kamala” or “Hypocrite Harris,” it would be a catastrophe for our country if Democrats’ bait-and-switch trick were to prevail. Her far-Left politics failed the Left Coast and would be disastrous for our Nation.
