Trump Breaks Silence on FBI Raid, Instantly Implodes
Donald Trump is speaking up about Monday’s FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida with several posts to Truth Social. One such post read, “A horrible thing that took place yesterday at Mar-a-Lago. We are no better than a third world country, a banana republic.” Of course, what would make America a “third world country” and a “banana republic” would be if powerful people were viewed as above the law. Trump went on to baselessly accused Joe Biden of knowing about the raid, even though reports are that the president knew nothing about it. He said, “Biden knew all about this, just like he knew all about Hunter’s ‘deals.’” Finally, Trump made it seem like the raid on his home was a threat to every American, typing, “What took place yesterday, and long before, was an unprecedented infringement of the rights of every American citizen. Scam after Scam, year after year, it is all the Radical Left Democrats really know, it is their lifeblood - they have no shame. Our Country is paying a very big price!!!” The grievances surely will continue for Donald Trump who is having perhaps the worst week of his entire life.
Trump Deposed TODAY, Pleads the 5th on EVERY QUESTION
Donald Trump was deposed this morning in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation into his businesses and alleged financial crimes. James believes Trump to have engaged in over-valuating his assets when applying for loans and under-valuating them when having to pay taxes. During the deposition, Trump refused to answer any questions by the New York AG, continually pleading the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. Trump said in a statement afterwards, “I once asked, ‘if you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’ Now I know the answer to that question.” Trump also called James “racist” and called the probe a “witch hunt” ahead of the deposition. With the walls closing in on Trump, this is just one more headache the disgraced former president has to deal with.
From yesterday’s show:
Republican Candidate Still Can't Even Speak
Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee for US Senator from Georgia, is still pretending to try to challenge Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock to a debate. Walker previously said he wouldn’t debate Warnock because he only wanted to do a debate “for the fans” and not for political parties or the media. But in recent days, Herschel has said he’s open to debating Raphael but only under very specific conditions, including it being on a right-wing network in Savannah on October 14th in front of a crowd. When asked on Fox Business whether there was any update, Walker said, “I’ve called him on two debates. He’s turned me down on both of them because what I want to do is a fair and equitable debate.” There’s no evidence that Warnock has turned down any debate offers, and it surely seems that Walker is the one trying to dodge the good-faith attempts to make it happen.
From yesterday’s show:
Could 2022 Be Worst Midterm Ever for Republicans?
The Republican Party could end up having a lackluster 2022 midterms in an environment where they should be able to sweep the Democrats in House, Senate and governor’s races. The GOP was on pace for a red wave, until economic indicators began to improve and the overturning of Roe vs. Wade galvanized Democratic resistance. Also helping the left is that President Biden added another accomplishment to his record this week, getting the Inflation Reduction Act to pass the Senate which will serve to fight climate change, reform the tax code, and allow Medicare to negotiate the cost of prescription drugs. FiveThirtyEight now expects Democrats will hold onto the Senate, with 59 out of 100 simulated scenarios resulting in Dems holding onto the upper chamber. They are still underdogs in the House, however, with only a 20% chance of keeping it out of Republican hands. If this trend continues into November, it’s conceivable that Democrats will be able to hold onto power.
