WHINY Trump TRIGGERED, publishes ENDLESS Kamala videos
During Kamala Harris' speech on economic proposals and a school shooting in Georgia, Donald Trump posted a series of videos on Truth Social. He accused Harris of constantly complaining about issues like the economy and border while doing nothing to fix them. Trump predicted a major stock market crash if Harris becomes president, similar to his previous warnings about Joe Biden, which never occurred. Despite these claims, financial institutions like Goldman Sachs have projected a stronger economy under a Harris presidency than Trump’s. Economic indicators show that under Democratic presidents, stock market performance is better, unemployment is lower, and job creation is higher. Trump's repeated predictions of a 1929-like crash have been consistently wrong, though some argue that making the same prediction annually might eventually prove correct. However, following such predictions could mean missing out on significant economic growth.
Walz BRUTAL on Vance: "I have no problem picking out donuts"
Tim Walz, known for his political savvy, recently visited a donut shop and made a subtle jab at J.D. Vance, referencing Vance’s awkward donut-ordering incident. Walz humorously noted, "Look at me, I have no problem picking out donuts," contrasting Vance’s strained interaction at a Georgia donut shop, where Vance struggled to connect with the staff. The incident highlighted Vance's difficulty in appearing relatable, as one worker was unimpressed by his political ambitions, and another seemed uninterested in interacting with him. In contrast, Walz effortlessly displayed charm and humor, reinforcing his relatable image. While political decisions should ideally focus on policies and respect for institutions, being personable helps candidates connect with voters. Though charisma isn’t the main reason people vote for candidates, it certainly helps build trust and likability.
From yesterday’s show:
Dave Rubin & Tim Pool indirectly paid by Russia
A DOJ indictment has rocked the independent media world, alleging that MAGA-affiliated Tenet Media, known for promoting pro-Putin, anti-Ukraine, and pro-Trump narratives, was funded by Russian money funneled through RT and various shell companies. Key figures from RT, Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasayev, face charges of money laundering and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Influencers like Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, and Lauren Southern, who were associated with Tenet, are now under scrutiny. While some, like Rubin and Johnson, claim they were unaware of the illicit funding and consider themselves victims, their rapid subscriber growth and content are being reevaluated in light of the revelations. The case underscores how Russian intelligence may amplify voices that align with its goals without directly instructing them, raising broader concerns about the authenticity and independence of certain media outlets and influencers.
From yesterday’s show:
WOW: Kamala announces MAJOR TAX proposal, Trump LOSES IT
Kamala Harris announced a major tax proposal in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, aimed at supporting small businesses and startups. Her plan includes increasing the tax deduction for startups to $50,000, reducing the financial barrier to starting a business and promoting innovation. Harris set an ambitious goal of 25 million new small business applications by the end of her first term, and her proposal also offers low and no-interest loans to existing small businesses and cuts red tape to make it easier for them to grow. During her speech, Harris addressed the tragic school shooting in Georgia, expressing her condolences to the victims and calling for an end to the epidemic of gun violence in the U.S. She emphasized the senseless nature of these tragedies and stressed that change is possible, stating that gun violence does not have to be a daily reality for Americans. Harris’s speech was notable for its combination of empathy for victims and a clear policy agenda to tackle both economic and societal issues.
