The Latest Donald Trump Interview: Must-See Moments
Here’s what happened in under 5 minutes.
🧵 THREAD
In an explosive interview with Lex Fridman that’s quickly going viral, Donald Trump delivered several headline-making soundbites.
The first topic that grabbed viewers’ attention was Trump’s reaction to Kamala’s train-wreck interview with CNN, saying he “can’t believe” how “very poorly” she performed in what he called a “softball interview.”
“We have a woman who couldn’t do an interview. This was a really soft interview. This is an interview where they’re given multiple choice questions—multiple guesses. I call it multiple guess. And I don’t think she did well. I think she did very poorly,” Trump said.
The conversation then shifted to the issue of mass migration, sparked by reports of Venezuelan gangs taking over buildings in Colorado.
Trump said that countries like Venezuela are dumping their prisoners into America, noting that crime is down in those countries for a reason.
As president, Trump declared, “We can’t let that happen,” but acknowledged the rationale behind the prisoner dumping, given that America is willingly absorbing the world’s criminals.

The discussion pivoted to foreign policy, where Trump touted his approach to keeping the peace in Afghanistan during his tenure.
Crediting “The Stick,” he argued that his tough stance was why there were no U.S. casualties for 18 months before Biden’s chaotic withdrawal.
That disastrous withdrawal, which left 13 US soldiers dead, is a big reason why Putin felt emboldened to go into Ukraine, Trump claimed.
As the conversation continued, Trump dismissed any association with Project 2025, insisting that the Democrats know it has nothing to do with him, yet they continue to link him to it anyway.
“Project 2025 has absolutely nothing to do with me,” Trump stressed, adding that he hasn't even read the document.
“I've heard about things that are in there that I don't like, and there are some things in there that everybody would like. But there are things that I don't like at all. And I think it's unfortunate that they put it out, but it doesn't mean anything because it has nothing to do with me. Project 2025 has absolutely nothing to do with me.”
Lex Fridman didn’t shy away from pressing Trump on what he called “tension” with Joe Rogan, challenging him to go on Rogan’s podcast after saying some “not-so-nice things” about him.
Trump played it cool, denying any real tension, saying, “I guess I’d do it, but I haven’t been asked.”
This particular moment was an interesting exchange.
LEX FRIDMAN: “Let me ask you about my good friend Joe Rogan. So you had a bit of tension with him. So when he said nice things about RFK Jr., I think you've said some not-so-nice things about Joe. And I think that was a bit unfair. And as a fan of Joe, I would love to see you do his podcast because he is legit, the greatest conversationalist in the world. So what's the story behind the tension?”
DONALD TRUMP: “Well, I don't think there was any tension, and I've always liked him, but I don't know him. I only see him when I walk into the arena with Dana, and I shake his hand. I see him there, and I think he's good at what he does. But I don't know about doing his podcast. I mean, I guess I'd do it, but I haven't been asked and I'm not asking them. You know? I'm not asking anybody.”
LEX FRIDMAN: “It sounds like a challenging negotiation situation.”
DONALD TRUMP: “No, it's not really a negotiation. And he's sort of a liberal guy, I guess, you know, from what I understand. But he likes Kennedy. This was before I found this out, before Kennedy came in with us. He's going to be great. He's doing... Bobby's going to be great. But I like that he likes Kennedy. I do, too. He's a different kind of a guy, but he's got some great things going, and I think he's going to be, beyond politics, I think he could be quite influential in taking care of some situations that you probably would agree should be taken care of.”
The interview took another interesting turn when Trump reflected on his decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton, saying, “She’s so lucky I didn’t do anything.”
Trump added that he “could have done a big number on Hillary Clinton,” but the reason he decided not to was because he thought it would divide the country because it “looked so bad.”
“I could have done a big number on Hillary Clinton. I thought it looked terrible to take the president's wife and put her in prison. She's so lucky. I didn’t do anything. She's so lucky. Hillary is a lucky woman because I had a lot of people pushing me, too. They wanted to see something, but I could have done something very bad. I thought it looked so bad.”
Arguably, the most interesting moment of the entire interview was when Lex Fridman questioned Trump about the Epstein client list, asking if the next Trump administration would reveal the names to the public.
Trump responded by saying he would have “no problem” doing that, adding that the names on that list would also be “very interesting.”
In the final moments, Trump emphasized what he sees as a major problem for today's America: a lack of religion.
He says, “I think our country's missing a lot of religion. I think it really was a much better place with religion.”
“It was almost a guide to a certain extent. It was a guide. You want to be good to people. Without religion, there are no real guardrails. I'd love to see us get back to religion, more religion in this country.”

RFK Jr. drops a series of truth bombs on Dr. Phil.
Brianna Keilar thought she had @SebGorka cornered.
Instead, she got STEAMROLLED with the facts.
Gorka said the quiet part OUT LOUD about the transgender shooter epidemic and the anti-Christian ideology that’s fueling it.
Then he dropped the HAMMER:
“Forgive me if I don’t go with CNN’s stats, okay? CNN has proven itself to be WHOLLY inaccurate…”
By the end, he even called her out for creating “live FAKE news” to her face—leaving CNN’s narrative in flames.
🧵 THREAD
What CNN thought would happen and what happened were directly at odds with one another.
When anchor Brianna Keilar sat down for an interview with Trump’s Senior Director for Counterterrorism, Sebastian Gorka, she didn’t see the headlights of a locomotive coming straight for her.
Her foot was caught between the tracks.
The topic: the recent shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Another data point on the rising curve of violence committed by unhinged transgender shooters, once again targeting Christians.
And it immediately went in the direction no one at CNN wanted it to go.
Gorka said the quiet part out loud about the transgender shooter epidemic...live, on their own network.
Not only that, he called out the anti-Christian ideology fueling these attacks.
Gorka began the unraveling of the narrative: “We have to put this incident into the broader context of what we’ve witnessed.”
First, the transgender part.
“In just the last few years, more than half a dozen attacks of a similar variety involving individuals who were confused about their gender, to put it mildly.”
Second, the attacks on Christianity.
“And then, as you mentioned, at the top of your monologue: we have the videos, we have the statements from the dead shooter that were clearly anti-Christian, just as with the transgender attack on the Nashville Christian school, in which more children were killed.”
“There is an ideological connection to multiple of these attacks where innocent children, especially Christians and Catholics, are targeted. And that is very, very disturbing.”
This was just the beginning.
Keilar, with network talking points in hand, wasn’t about to let the truth come to the surface without spin. Trying to steer the conversation back into CNN-friendly territory, Keilar reached for a stat.
“Okay. So let me ask you about this. You know, 96% of attackers—when you’re looking at the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center, looking at 172 mass attacks in the U.S. between 2016 and 2020—96% were non-trans men.”
“So I know you’re focusing on this shooter being trans. The shooter was trans…and that is certainly of note. But are you missing the bigger picture here, when you zero in on that instead of more broadly the school shooters as an epidemic—and you perhaps miss the through line that connects them all?”
It was riddled with issues and Gorka knew exactly what she was trying to do.
He shut it down immediately with one VERY inconvenient truth.
CNN was padding the numbers by lumping in inner-city gang violence to dilute the real trend. This happens all the time on networks unwilling to face the hard truths.
“Well, no, because your facts obfuscate two things.”
He called out what CNN didn’t want anyone to notice.
“You are using data based upon the predominant gun violence, which is gang-on-gang violence with zero ideological content.”
“If you remove all of that—the gang violence on the streets of Chicago, L.A., Detroit—then you come down to a much smaller data set.”
“So it’s like those who say gun violence in America causes so many deaths, and then fail to note that the majority of the stats they are using refer also to suicides by gun, which of course is not what we are talking about here today.”
He wasn’t letting her move the goalposts.
“So let’s concentrate on mass shootings at schools, specifically Christian or Catholic schools.”
“Then the data set is wholly different. So don’t conflate different data sets just to make a political point. There was an ideological content to this attack. That’s what terrorism is.”
“It’s not because somebody didn’t get the drug deal they wanted. It is an ideological message.”
This was the first time someone had called out this kind of data manipulation on live cable news.
In case you missed it, @MidwesternDoc just released one of the most shocking reports yet.
Yes, organ transplants save lives—but the system is absolutely riddled with corruption, misdiagnosed “brain death,” and multiple cases of patients showing signs of life as their organs were about to be harvested.
EXCLUSIVE: Big Pharma’s War on a Cheap Cancer Treatment That Endangered Their Billions
In the 1970s, a Loyola researcher wiped out deadly tumors in mice using nothing but vitamins, enzymes, and Laetrile (B17).
The results were groundbreaking—and that’s exactly why the cancer industry buried them.
This is the cancer story they never wanted you to hear.
🧵 THREAD
Dr. Harold Manner, former biology professor and chairman of the biology department at Loyola University in Chicago, dropped a devastating discovery into the heart of the cancer establishment in the late-70s.
On September 10, 1977, he announced an 89% regression of breast tumors in laboratory mice thanks to enzymes, vitamin A, and Laetrile. Dr. Manner, a courageous pioneer researcher, said cancer is not a medical problem; it is a metabolic problem.
If it was known as far back as 1977 that metabolic therapy could effectively control breast cancer, how many lives since then have been needlessly lost, how many lives were irreversibly damaged, and how many unnecessary mastectomies were performed?
John Richardson Jr., Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Operation World Without Cancer and Founder of the Richardson Nutritional Center, joins us today to discuss what the medical establishment doesn’t want you to know about cancer treatment.
Richardson opened with what he called “the Vault,” a 60-year paper trail exposing how Laetrile (vitamin B17) was driven out of mainstream medicine. At the center of that buried history is Loyola University’s Dr. Harold Manner, a respected researcher who dared to put the therapy to the test against breast cancer in the 1970s.
Manner quickly realized that the studies used to dismiss Laetrile weren’t science—they were sabotage. Researchers injected healthy animals with live cancer cells, guaranteeing they would die within weeks, no matter what treatment was given.
“That just doesn’t happen in real life,” Richardson stressed.
So Manner changed course. He relied on animals with naturally developed tumors and treated them with pancreatic enzymes, vitamins A, C, D, and Laetrile. And the results were absolutely astonishing. Over five years, cancers disappeared—even in mice whose tumors were half the size of their bodies.
Richardson believed this information was undeniable proof that cancer is a metabolic deficiency disease, not a random genetic curse. But instead of recognition, Manner was censored, stripped of support, and his research erased.
In other words, show that cancer can be beaten naturally, and the system will come after you.
#10 - Tucker Carlson gets angry when he learns nearly 1 in 5 Americans are on antidepressants RIGHT NOW.
He couldn’t believe it.
When his guest confirmed the number referred to CURRENT prescriptions, Carlson’s reaction said it all:
First, psychiatrist Josef Witt-Doerring told Carlson that we’ve seen a 500% INCREASE in antidepressant use since the 1990s.
Carlson asked if the depression problem has gotten better or worse, and Witt-Doerring replied: “There’s more psychiatric prescribers now, there’s more drug prescribing, and the outcomes are actually getting WORSE.”
After hearing that, Carlson made this blistering statement:
“I’m just going to skip ahead to my opinion, then I’m going to pull back. But that suggests that we should BAN the drugs and IMPRISON the people selling them. That’s my personal view. But you’re the psychiatrist.”

RFK Jr. Hits the Medical Cartel Where It Hurts With Bold New HHS Announcement
This is Big Pharma and Big Medicine’s worst nightmare.
What makes them so rich is finally getting gutted.
🧵 THREAD
Imagine this: you go to your doctor, and they give you ten minutes. You say, “Hey, Doc, I got a problem. How do I fix it?”
The doctor writes you a prescription, you take it to the pharmacy, and then you take that pill for life—until you die.
This is what most people experience when they see a doctor.
But RFK Jr. is changing that with a bold new vision to improve the doctor-patient relationship for good.
He announced that he’s leading a team at HHS to overhaul the medical education system and finally put a focus on what’s been ignored for too long—nutrition training.
EXCLUSIVE: The Lawsuit That Could Collapse the CDC’s Vaccine Empire Overnight
This could bring down the CDC’s vaccine empire once and for all.
Instead of battling at the state level, attorney Rick Jaffe went straight for the source—demanding the CDC downgrade its 72-dose childhood schedule from “mandatory” to “shared decision-making.”
If the court agrees, state mandates collapse and the CDC’s grip on parents shatters overnight.
“They want to claim the program is safe? Fine, prove it.”
🧵 THREAD
For the first time ever, a federal lawsuit challenges the CDC's staggering 72+ dose childhood vaccine schedule on the grounds that it has never actually been safety tested.
And it turns out the government's own outside advisers have been urging safety studies for nearly 25 years.
The case was filed in federal court on Friday, August 15, on behalf of Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom. The case goes right to the heart of the CDC's Childhood Immunisation Program.
Rick Jaffe, who filed the lawsuit, joins us today to discuss the case.
Rick Jaffe has spent forty years on the front lines as a healthcare lawyer. He’s defended doctors, taken on the medical establishment, and seen more than most.
But this time, his lawsuit goes after the CDC’s very foundation: the childhood vaccine schedule itself.
In preparing the case, Jaffe uncovered a fact that floored even him. Despite requiring American children to follow a 72-dose regimen, the CDC has never once tested the safety of the schedule as a whole.
Each vaccine is looked at only in isolation, and only for a few days. “You’re giving 72 doses plus medical interventions over 18 years,” he said, “and they’ve never tested the effect of the total dose.”
What makes this worse, Jaffe added, is that the National Academy of Medicine has urged the CDC to conduct these studies for more than 20 years—yet the agency has refused.
That refusal became the cornerstone of Jaffe’s case: if the CDC has never tested the very system it enforces, how can it possibly claim America’s children are being kept safe?
