WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Ignites Arizona Crowd With Historic Speech in Support of Trump — '2024 is Our 1776' | Via @VivekGRamaswamy
This could go down as one of the greatest political speeches of all time.
Vivek Ramaswamy's masterful address at Trump's rally in Arizona tonight will send shivers down the spine of any red-blooded American patriot.
With both intensity and conviction, Ramaswamy declared that the stakes in the 2024 election are as high as they when American patriots defeated British tyranny in 1776, and that Americans must rise again to elect Donald J. Trump, defeating tyranny once more.
This is a fight for the very soul of America.
"2024 is our 1776 and I mean it when I say this, I think Donald Trump is the George Washington of our moment."
"They shot at George Washington when he crossed the Delaware. They missed when they tried for Donald Trump, too."
"This time around, we're not messing this up for our country. And I'm asking you, you guys do your part."
"Donald Trump's going to do his and we will make sure that our best days are still ahead of us, that we restore that American dream, that we restore that belief in the impossible, that we are the unafraid, the explorers, the pioneers who nobody was going to stop."
"That is what won us the American Revolution. That is what reunited us after the Civil War. That is what won us two world wars and the Cold War. That is what still gives hope to the free world."
"And if we can revive that dream over group identity and victimhood and grievance, then nobody in the world, not a nation, not a corporation, not a virus, not China, and certainly not Kamala Harris or Tim Walz is going to defeat us."
"That is what American exceptionalism is all about. And that is what we will revive to save this great nation."
"Thank you all. God bless you and your families. And may God bless our United States of America."
"Do not stop fighting until we get this job done!"
"Thank you, guys. God bless."

NEW - Biden's Subtle Sabotage: How the President May Be Undermining Harris’ Campaign 🧵|
In recent weeks, political observers have noted some subtle and not so subtle moves by President Biden that directly undermine Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid. What may initially appear as minor oversights or political blunders could actually be part of a deliberate strategy by Biden.
New reporting from the New York Post (rb.gy/emmuqn) suggests that these acts are not accidental but rather a form of political payback.
According to insiders and political pundits, Biden may be seeking revenge on Harris, who many believe pushed him aside, effectively ending his chance at a second term.
Hank Sheinkopf, a seasoned Democratic strategist, argues that Biden’s aloofness toward Harris' campaign could be a calculated “power move” to remind everyone who’s still in charge.
Sheinkopf;
“It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he has no resentment over how he was treated or how, frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup,”
1. Biden's MAGA Moment in Shanksville
During a visit to the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department in Pennsylvania to honor the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Biden had an unusual encounter that left many scratching their heads.
Video from the event shows Biden chatting with a Trump supporter in the crowd before the two swapped hats. While it's not unheard of for politicians to engage in friendly gestures, this exchange took a peculiar turn.
After signing his presidential seal cap, Biden didn’t stop there. He went a step further, demanding the man’s Trump hat, saying with a smile, “I need that hat!”
The crowd urged him to put it on. At first, Biden seemed hesitant, joking, “I ain’t going that far!” But moments later, to the crowd’s amusement, he donned the Trump cap with a broad grin.
In a strange twist, the president left the event still holding the Trump hat, leaving many to wonder what message, if any, Biden was trying to send.

NEW - Here The Top Election-Related Stories From Today in Under 5 Minutes 🗳 |
1. Senator J.D. Vance Turns the Tables on New York Times Reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro Over 2020 Election Question
Garcia-Navarro
"In the debate, you were asked to clarify if you think Trump lost the 2020 election. Do you believe he lost the 2020 election?"
Vance
"I think that Donald Trump and I have both raised a number of issues with the 2020 election, but we're focussed on the future. I think there is an obsession here with focussing on 2020. I'm much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide-open border, groceries that are unaffordable——"
Garcia-Navarro
Senator, yes or no. Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
Vance
Let me ask you a question, is it okay that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story? Which independent analysis have said cost Donald Trump millions of votes."
Garcia-Navarro
Senator Vance, I'm going to ask you again. Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
Vance
Did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested would have cost Trump millions of votes?
Garcia-Navarro
Senator Vance, I'm going to ask you again. Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
Vance
"And I answered your question with another question. You answer my question and I'll answer yours."
"When our own technology firms engage in industrial-scale censorship, by the way backed up by the federal government, in a way that independent studies suggest affect the votes, I'm worried about Americans who feel like there were problems in 2020, I'm not worried about this slogan that people throw."
"I'm talking about something very discreet. A problem of censorship in this country that I do think affected things in 2020, and more importantly that led to Kamala Harris' governance, which has screwed this country up in a big way."

NEW - Top Highlights From Lex Fridman's Interview With President Trump in Under 5 Minutes 🧵|1. Winning the "Dirty Game" of Politics and the Shifting Media Landscape
Early in the interview, Lex Fridman pressed President Trump on the nature of politics, particularly focusing on how it has turned into a "dirty game."
"You've said that politics is a dirty game in the past——So if it is a game, how do you win at that game?"
President Trump responds;
"Well you win at that game by getting the word out and by using sense. You have to have a feeling where it's going. You also have to have a feeling of what's right. You can't necessarily just go what's popular. You have to do what's good for a country if you're talking about countries."
"You have to get the word out."
"You have traditional television, which is getting a little bit older and maybe less significant. Could be less significant, I don't know. But it's changing a lot. The whole plane of platform is changing a lot. It's changed a lot in the last two, three years."
"From a political standpoint you have find out what people are doing, what they're watching and you have to get on."
"I just see that these platforms are starting to dominate. They're getting very big numbers. I did spaces with Elon and they got numbers like nobody's ever heard before—You wouldn't do that like on radio, you wouldn't do that, those numbers no matter how good a show. You wouldn't do them on television."

NEW - Key Highlights From Dr. Phil's Interview With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Under 5 Minutes 🧵|
1. RFK Jr. Explains How He Didn't See a Path to Victory
At beginning of his interview with Dr. Phil, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed the challenging decision to suspend his campaign and endorse President Trump.
Kennedy explained the difficulty of the decision, noting that his campaign team explored every possible avenue before concluding that there was no viable path to victory.
"It was difficult. All of us, the people, kind of the inner circle who were involved in the decision, I think everybody in that circle went back. Did 180 degree turns maybe 15 times in the last two weeks trying to figure out what we could do."
He explained that there were vast barriers obstructing him from continuing his campaign effectively.
"But ultimately it was clear to me that because of the media censorship, because I was not going to be allowed on a debating stage, that I didn't really have a path to victory."
Reflecting on the future, Kennedy shared his concerns about continuing under such circumstances.
"My choice was, am I going to spend the next 77 days, you know rallying the troops and getting more money out of the donors without being able to offer them a path to victory? And I think that would have sucked my soul out."
2. Kennedy Says He Would Do It All Over Again Just to Increase Exposure to the Issues He Cares About
When Dr. Phil asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., "You knew then, what you know now, would you have done this?" Kennedy responded affirmatively.
Despite the hardships and stress that he and his family endured on the campaign trail, culminating in the suspension of his campaign and endorsement of Trump, Kennedy believes it was worth it.
"Yeah I would have. I mean, I think it's been costly to me, and it's been costly to my family. But I think I've advanced the issues in a way that is going to be helpful to people over the long run."
Kennedy continued;
"The major issues that I've been talking about; the censorship, the addiction to war, particularly the Ukraine War, and then most of all the chronic disease epidemic. I think it gave me a platform to talk about those issues and a lot more people are aware of them now."
"It's part of the national conversation, which it was not 16 months ago."

NEW - Top Moments From Tucker Carlson's Interview With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 🧵|
1. Joining President Trump and The Next Political Realignment
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began the interview by discussing the transformative period currently unfolding in American politics, which led him to join forces with President Trump for the 2024 election.
He explained how political paradigm shifts have occurred throughout history and argued that we're witnessing another one right now.
"You know, I think there's been a bunch of realignments. Political realignments, about four or five throughout American history. And I think we're going through one right now with the Democratic Party. With both political parties, really changing in this very dramatic way."
He further criticized the growing alliance between state and corporate power in Washington, D.C., stating;
"The domination of this corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is happening in Washington, D.C. now, where our democracy has really been subverted by the industries that have taken over the regulatory agencies and transformed them into sock puppets for corporate profit taking."
Kennedy also called out the Democratic Party for what he sees as a disconnect between their ideals and actions;
"The Democrats have clung to this illusion of these democratic institutions that they're still democratic."
2. The Censorship Regime and Pavel Durov's Arrest
When asked about Pavel Durov's recent arrest, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shifted the conversation to one of his central concerns: censorship.
He castigated Europe's stance on free speech, arguing that the continent has become an authoritarian force against it. Kennedy also discussed how Elon Musk, who would have been a liberal hero of free expression, has been vilified by the Democratic Party for his stance.
"We've lost Europe. Europe now does not have free speech. Looks what's happened to Elon Musk in Europe."
"Elon Musk should be the hero of the Democratic Party. Of the old Democratic Party, he would be the hero. Somehow he became a villain, because he was actually the only platform that would allow free speech on his platform and he's now become a villain because of it."
Kennedy further reiterated the absolute importance of free speech in any democracy.
"If you don't believe in free speech, it means because you don't trust the people. You don't trust them to figure it out on their own, to have information on which they can base their ideas and their notions and their beliefs—— and their votes. And that the government has to protect them from dangerous information."

NEW - Fact Checking the Top Lies Told by Vice President Kamala Harris During DNC Address in Under 5 Minutes 🧵 |
1. President Trump Did Call for Peace on January 6th
During her DNC address, Kamala Harris made one of the most egregious and provably false statements of the night when she claimed that President Trump refused to call off his supporters who were trespassing at the Capitol.
"When politicians in his own party, begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames."
This statement is a blatant falsehood. On January 6th, President Trump explicitly called for peace multiple times. When he learned that people were entering the Capitol, he immediately took to Twitter, urging calm:
"Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"
"I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"
Later, President Trump released a video—later removed by Twitter—reiterating his call for peace and asking protesters to leave the Capitol;
"You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt."

NEW - Fact Checking the Top Lies Told by Governor Tim Walz During DNC Address in Under 5 Minutes 🧵|
1. Democrats are the Party of Freedom to Make Your Own Healthcare Decisions
Governor Tim Walz claimed that Democrats are the party that support freedom when discussing healthcare decisions.
"When we Democrats talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself and the people that you love. Freedom to make your own healthcare decisions."
However, this assertion doesn't align with the party's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic. Democrats were overwhelmingly strong proponents of vaccine mandates, requiring Americans to take untested vaccines developed rapidly by large pharmaceutical companies.
These mandates were met with serious opposition from Republicans, who argued for personal freedom in healthcare decisions.
In Minnesota, Governor Walz mandated that state agency employees either show proof of vaccination or undergo frequent testing, reinforcing the party's stance on mandatory vaccinations.
Governor Walz then repeated the baseless claim that Project 2025 is the "playbook" for President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance’s policy agenda if they win the 2024 election.
"Take Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Their Project 2025 will make things much, much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives."
"They spend a lot of time pretending that they know nothing about this. But look, I coached high school football long enough to know and trust me on this, when somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they're going to use it."
This claim is entirely without merit.
Project 2025 was created by The Heritage Foundation, a prominent American think tank, and has no formal affiliation with President Trump or his campaign.
The project itself has clarified its position:
"We are not affiliated with former President Trump. We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy and personnel recommendations."
Additionally, President Trump has stated that he is not connected to Project 2025, even calling some of its positions "extreme."
NEW - Fact Checking the Top Lies Told by President Biden During DNC Address in Under 5 Minutes 🧵 |
1. "Bloodbath" Hoax
Amidst his address, Biden doubled down on the bloodbath hoax, claiming that President Trump promised to ignite a 'bloodbath' in the country if he loses the election.
"He's promising a bloodbath! If he loses, in his words."
Biden or his speechwriters appear to be referencing a remark made by Trump at a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, in March, which has been taken out of context.
During the rally, Trump spoke about the American auto industry, suggesting that without his policies implemented, the industry and the entire country for that matter, would suffer significantly, ie a 'bloodbath'.
"We're gonna put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars."
2. "Very Fine People on Both Sides"
During his DNC address this evening, President Biden reiterated the false claim that former President Trump referred to Neo-Nazis and white supremacists as "very fine people" after the 2017 Charlottesville rally.
"Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, so emboldened by a president then in the White House that they saw as an ally, they didn't even bother to wear their hoods."
Biden went on to say;
"In the process, a young woman was killed. When I contacted her mother, I asked about what happened. She told me. When the president was asked what he thought had happened, Donald Trump said, and I quote; 'There are very fine people on both sides.' My god! That's what he said."
However, this has been debunked numerous times.
During a press conference following the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," but clarified that he was referring to the protesters and counterprotesters, not the neo-Nazis and white nationalists, whom he condemned "totally."

NEW - Founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, Breaks Down the Trump Assassination Attempt 🧵| Footage @ShawnRyan762
In a recent interview with podcast host Shawn Ryan, @realErikDPrince, the founder of Blackwater and a former U.S. Navy SEAL, offered a deep dive into the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
RYAN: "This is either the greatest security breach of all time or they tried to assassinate him."
PRINCE: "Or they left the door open so wide, that any infiltrator could come in."
Known for his extensive expertise in military and security matters, Prince dissected the security failures surrounding the incident in Butler and suggested that the situation might reveal deeper, systemic issues within U.S. government and institutional security.
Prince’s analysis goes beyond mainstream narratives, providing a unique perspective on what could be the most significant lapse in security or a deliberate act. Drawing on his years of military skills and knowledge, Prince also offered valuable ideas on how to prevent such incidents in the future.
A Culture of No Accountability For Failure
"I think I first took my kids deer hunting, my sons, at probably age 12, and they would have easily hit 140 yard prone shot with an M4."
"It's a result of a culture of no accountability for failure. And that allows people to drift so far off the mission. If the mission is to be, zero failure, protect the protectee, or whatever the mission is of a Federal Agency, it allows them to distract into green initiatives, DEI initiatives, all kinds of other things that truly distract from what the actual mission and what they're supposed to be doing is."
"Yeah, DEI is a factor, but it's really a culture of political correctness and no merit. That's what's exceedingly dangerous. And we've become every bit as rotted as the Soviet society was before the Soviet Union collapsed."
"Now when this actually needs really, full, proctological examination that we really can't trust the FBI? That's really sad. That's disgusting."
