WATCH: Jim Gaffigan Obliterates Kamala Harris and Democrats in Brutal Roast at Al Smith Dinner——Two Minute Montage of Best Moments |

Wow.

This might just be the Ricky Gervais Golden Globes moment for politics.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan just delivered a scorching takedown of Kamala Harris and the DNC with brutally honest set of jokes at the Al Smith Dinner tonight, leaving no one in the room unscathed.

"You know, this event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. 22% of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state."

"I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?"

"I mean, consider this. This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee."

"I mean, in her defense, she did find time to appear on The View, Howard Stern, Colbert, and the long-time staple of campaigning, the Call Her Daddy podcast."

"President Biden couldn't be here tonight."

"The DNC made sure of that."

"The media has begun discussing the phenomenon of secret Trump voters. I don't know if you've heard about this. People who publicly say they would never vote for Trump, but then when they go in the voting booth, they do."

"It's a small group————they're called the BIDEN FAMILY."

"The Democrats have been telling us Trump's re-election is a threat to democracy."

"In fact, they were so concerned about this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris."

"In other words, all her dreams have come true."

"It really makes you consider the power of prayer, right Cardinal?"

"Sometimes prayers take 3.5 years and a George Clooney op-ed."

NEW - Stephen Miller Says Democrats Are Lying About Voter ID Concerns—Their Real Plan is to Flood The Zone With Illegals to STEAL Elections

This was never about protecting women.

Stephen Miller just unleashed on the Democrat Party—exposing them for spreading lies to hide a far more sinister agenda.

Democrats claim the SAVE Act would “disenfranchise women.”

@StephenM says that’s total nonsense—and he didn’t hold back:

“The only reason, Sean, you would be against any of that is if you wanted illegal aliens to vote and to vote in incredibly large numbers.”

“So let’s just deal with all of this BS right now.”

He mocked the idea that married women can’t get ID—calling it one of the dumbest talking points he’s ever heard:

“Every other country in the world of any note requires an I.D. to vote. The notion the Democrats are pushing that married women, who by the way, are a Republican voting demographic, cannot get I.D., could be one of the dumbest talking points I have heard in my entire life.”

Then he exposed the real endgame:

“Democrats want illegal aliens to vote. It’s why Joe Biden and his administration gave millions, we verified this now, millions with an ‘m’, of illegal aliens social security numbers.”

“And once you have a social security number, it is incredibly easy to vote, to collect welfare, to get free government benefits, to participate in every aspect of American life.”

“This isn’t a mystery. They want illegals to steal elections, Sean.”
Biden and Mayorkas Engineered a Border Invasion—Designed to Deliver Millions of Illegal Votes

The Voter ID fight? That’s just one piece of the puzzle.

Stephen Miller says the real scandal is the system itself—deliberately constructed to rig elections from the inside out.

“The Biden administration, Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, devised a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the country and then to escort them en masse across the border by the millions and to give them something known as parole.”

And once they’re here?

“Which gives them a work permit, which gives them a social security number, which gives them access to the voting booth.”

“This was the plan all along. To get them here illegally so they can get free government benefits, get hooked to welfare and be able to participate in American elections.”

He says this isn’t just mismanagement—it’s a direct assault on democracy.

And it gets worse.

Miller called out California for refusing to cooperate with ICE—even when it comes to child predators and violent criminals:

“These are illegal aliens in California who have been arrested by California police, by California law enforcement for serious crimes, for crimes against children, for felonies, for crimes that threaten public safety and they are refusing to hand these criminal illegal aliens over to ICE.”

“Instead they are freeing them back into the cities to offend and offend again. By any definition, what California is doing is criminal. It is a violation of our laws, it is one of the most heinous things I have seen in my entire life in Washington.”

This wasn’t a border failure. It was the strategy.
Miller Says the Biden Administration Trafficked 500,000 Children Into the U.S. — “Helped Them Disappear”

This isn’t just corruption. Stephen Miller says it’s criminal.

“Biden administration itself, the actual government of the United States, trafficked 500,000 children into this country and helped them to disappear.”

“That is CRIMINAL.”

He says sanctuary cities have created a lawless black hole where human trafficking, child exploitation, and violent crime are protected by the state:

“And back to the point about sanctuary states and sanctuary cities; there are laws against harboring, there are laws against evading authorities, there are laws against smuggling, laws against concealing, laws against obstructing justice.”

But he says help is on the way.

According to Miller, President Trump is preparing an executive order that will hit harder than anything we’ve seen before:

“President Trump as we speak is working on an executive order that will be issued in the very near future that will clamp down and crack down on the sanctuary cities as never before.”

The stakes couldn’t be higher:

“This is a cancer on our democracy. The effort of the radical left to shield even the most violent illegal aliens from enforcement, President Trump will be soon taking action, it will be more robust and more aggressive than anything done in this area before.”

NEW - Chamath Says Trump Didn’t Just Shake Up the System—He Broke the Elites’ Entire Economic Playbook

They’re not just upset—they’re terrified.

Chamath Palihapitiya, once one of the Democratic Party’s top donors, is now exposing the global elites’ unified strategy—and why it’s crumbling fast.

@chamath declared:

“They’ve deeply benefited from a 20-year regime of taking jobs and moving them anywhere in the world that allowed you to optimize for profit.”

That system made Wall Street and multinational corporations wildly wealthy. They shipped out American jobs, gutted the middle class, and got rewarded with decades of near-zero interest rates.

“It benefited from an economic regime of low volatility, where you could keep interest rates effectively at zero for quasi forever.”

But then Trump happened—and their grip on economic policy began to slip.

Palihapitiya explained that the elites had grown accustomed to scaring presidents into compliance. But not this one.

“What they see is an inability to create and scaremonger the White House into economic policy.”

And that, he said, is shaking them to the core.

“This is very troublesome for them because they have been able to control from Wall Street or from London, or from these other places, how governments behave.”

Now, with Trump back on the scene, their entire system is under threat—and they know it.

“What you see right now is them violently trying to push back and trying to create a narrative.”

This was never just about tariffs or trade.

It was about control.

And the people who built an empire on cheap labor, financial games, and backroom influence are watching it all slip away.
Chamath says the media is pushing a lie and it’s all about control.

“There is an entire wing of the media that is now trying to say that the president ‘blinked,’”

But why are they so desperate to sell that narrative?

“I think they want us to think that because they want to believe that they can talk about the stock market and then effect policy every five and 10 minutes.”

In other words: Wall Street wants to steer the ship—and they’re furious that it’s no longer working.

Chamath pushed back on the panic headlines and reminded everyone what the data actually shows:

“The stock market is back to where it was on May 26th of 2024. By no means is there a crash. Absolutely there is volatility, but we are not in a place where it is time to all of the sudden revisit these aspirations that we have had.”

This isn’t the time to retreat—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

“We are in a unique moment in time where we have the ability to reset the global order and we have to follow through.”
Chamath says the difference between working with Biden and Trump? “Night and day.”

He’s invested heavily in critical sectors—AI, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure—and says the Biden administration never even tried to understand what was actually happening.

“In all of those four critical areas, I have started companies, I have invested enormous amount of money, they've never cared to understand what's happening on the ground.”

But the Trump administration? Completely different.

“The Trump administration is different.”

“Even when we disagree, they want to know.”

According to Chamath, that openness makes all the difference—especially when the stakes are this high.

“Because it is the most important job in the world what they do. And they are trying to collect as many opinions and come to the rationale answer. And I really applaud them for that.”

NEW - Top Moments From the Historic First Interview With Musk and the DOGE Team in Under 5 Minutes

“It might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution.”

📍Bookmark this thread—Elon Musk and the DOGE team just shared some jaw-dropping examples of waste, fraud, and abuse.

In their first formal sit-down interview, Elon Musk and the DOGE team spoke with Fox’s Bret Baier about their mission, offering a raw look into the outdated and wasteful inner workings of U.S. government.

These are the moments that stole the show.Image
1. Musk Says Most Astonishing Part of DOGE Is Sheer Amount of Waste, Including a $1B Government Survey

“We routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars or more. Casually.”

Bret Baier kicked off his interview with Elon Musk by asking about the most striking thing he’s come across while working with DOGE. Musk’s answer was absolutely staggering.

He zeroed in on the mind-boggling government waste—like a billion-dollar survey that should’ve cost next to nothing.

Elon Musk:

“The sheer amount of waste and fraud in the government. It is astonishing. It’s mind-blowing.”

“We routinely encounter waste of a billion dollars or more. Casually.”

“You know, for example, like the simple survey that was, literally a 10-question survey that could do with SurveyMonkey——cost you about $10,000——the government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that.”

“A billion dollars for a simple online survey; Do you like the national park?”
2. DOGE COO Steve Davis Says Trump Admin Gives Mission a Real Shot at Success

“The reason I’m here, which is probably for many, is that I think that the goal is incredibly inspiring.”

Bret Baier then opened up the questioning to the rest of the DOGE team.

DOGE COO Steve Davis took the chance to share why he’s fully committed to the mission, giving props to the Trump administration for making success feel achievable like never before.

Here’s Steve Davis:

“The reason I’m here, which is probably for many, is that I think that the goal is incredibly inspiring.”

“I think most of the taxpayers in the country would agree that in order to have——the country going bankrupt would be very bad thing, and therefore the country going not bankrupt is a good thing, that all of us are willing to kind of put our lives on hold in order to do.”

“I think the thing that’s special right now, is we actually believe there’s a chance to succeed. That there is an administration that’s supportive and a great cabinet and just a great group, that will actually make success a possible outcome.”

“And I think that’s, given the inspiring mission and given the nonzero chance of success, it was worth doing.”

“And you are the people that are doing it. Very, very proud of all of you. Under the Trump administration, the DOJ and the FBI will become the premier crime-fighting agencies on the face of the Earth.”

“People ask me, what am I going to do about law enforcement all the time? The fake news back there’s asking me that all the time. What am I going to do and when are you going to do it?”

“I answer them by saying I’ve already done most of it by appointing the people that I have appointed. They are sitting right here. They’ve done most of it. I don’t do it. They do it.”
