Trump is making his supporters wait for him in this heat

Trump is wearing a jacket in 100 degree heat

"Bullshit" is the new signature word at the Trump rallies

Trump claims "bullshit" is "catching on a little bit, but in a much more positive way than 'deplorable'"

TRUMP: We only have a few hours

CROWD: *silent*

TRUMP: It's 110. But it doesn't feel that way to me, right?

CROWD: *groans*

TRUMP: And if anybody goes down, we have people that will pick you up right away. They'll throw water.

Trump in Vegas: "Next year what we'll do, we'll meet in Venezuela because it's gonna be a lot safer -- unless you make me president."

"Hispanican"

After saying "Hispanican," Trump pivots to complaining about his teleprompters

"It would be suicide before Biden, right?"

Trump claims migrants are "fighting our families, they're totally destroying our black population, they're totally destroying our Hispanic population." #wut

Trump's audience in Vegas is silent as he downplays the heat and complains about his teleprompters

Trump claims "The Snake," which is a poem he has read dozens of times at rallies, is "a song written a long time ago."

"We're gonna bring it back to four years ago" -- four years ago we were quarantining at home amid mass death as Trump bungled a pandemic

Trump complains at length about credible reports (that had nothing to do with Biden) that he called dead soldiers "suckers" and "losers"

Trump in Vegas now claims the "first thing" he'll do in office is "not charge taxes on tips, people making tips"

"The woke stuff will be gone within a period of 24 hours" -- Trump

"I don't pay contractors who do a shitty job" -- Trump vows to not pay the workers in charge of the teleprompters for his Vegas rally

"He's a deranged, dumb guy. He's a dumb son of a bitch" -- Trump on Special Counsel Jack Smith

Trump is now ranting about batteries and shark attacks. I dare you to try to make sense of this.

Trump's rant about electric vehicles has put his audience in Vegas to sleep. Get a load of this. Not a peep from the crowd.

"If you went with the death penalty, you would have no drug problem in this country ... if it was meaningful. Not a trial that lasts 400 years" -- Trump touts China-style executions for drug dealers

"When we get in, it's gonna go very rapidly. We're gonna do a lot of things. We're gonna look very strongly at J6. There has never been people treated more horrifically than J6 hostages" -- Trump

Trump: "Those J6 warriors, they were warriors. But really more than anything else they are victims of what happened. All they were doing is protesting a rigged election."

"George Slopadopolous"

"These people back here, they hate us" -- Trump's rallies these days are pretty much exclusively covered by right-wing outlets that love him but ok

Trump abruptly wraps up his speech without doing his usual routine at the end

Trump rally in Las Vegas is over. If you appreciate me watching it so you didn't have to, please support what I do by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy it and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks. publicnotice.co/subscribe

TIM SCOTT: Under Joe Biden, communities have been devastated and ravaged by a wave of violent crime that we haven't seen in 5 decades

JONATHAN KARL: Actually senator, as you probably know, the latest stats on violent crime and on the murder rate show they're actually down this past year

JONATHAN KARL: Would you now favor Congress acting to ban bumpstocks? You said after the Vegas shooting that if the vote came up, it would sail through Congress.

TIM SCOTT: Well, I'm strongly in support of the 2nd amendment.

KARL: I asked about bumpstocks, not the 2nd amendment.

SCOTT: We're gonna focus on the priorities of the American people, and what the priorities of the American people are today is to focus on closing our southern border.

KARL: Trump floated the idea of raising tariffs. By some calculations, it's a 70% across the board tax on everything imported into the country. Would you favor a policy like that?

TIM SCOTT: Well Jon, I wasn't in that House meeting, I was in the Senate meeting. But what I can tell you is he talked about actually exempting taxation on tips.

Biden on D-Day landing site: "Today, as I look out at this battlefield, and all the bunkers and bomb craters that still surround it, one thought comes to mind: My God, my God, how did they do it? How were these Americans willing to risk everything?"

"You deserve that and a lot more, John" -- Biden shouts out a wounded D-Day veteran who is in attendance at his speech

Biden: "When we talk about American democracy, we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. What we don't talk about is how hard it is... democracy begins w/each of us. It begins when one person decides there is something more important than themselves."

Trump in Phoenix at a Turning Point Action event: "Impeachment hoax number one. Impeachment hoax number two. All hoaxes. Everything's a hoax."

Trump on his conviction: "Those appellate courts have to step up and straighten things out, or we're not going to have a country any longer."

Trump trashes CNN ("No audience") and "Fake Tapper" and Dana Bash ahead of his debate later this month on the network. Bold strategy!

"All of you. God love you" -- BIden's speech in Normandy on the 80th anniversary of D-Day was backdropped by veterans

Biden on anniversary of D-Day: "It was estimated that 80 percent of them would be killed within hours ... but they were brave."

Biden: "Walk the roads of the cemetery as I have. Nearly 10,000 heroes buried side by side. Officers and enlisted. Immigrants and native born. Different races. Different faiths. But all Americans. All served with honor when America and the world needed them most."
