Trump Aide Jason Miller Tells Farage: Trump Talked ‘Extraterrestrials’ with Tucker.

Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller, appearing on GB News with Nigel Farage, dropped a few hints about what to expect when Tucker Carlson’s interview with former President Donald Trump airs tonight: “I think we might get some long awaited answers to extraterrestrial life.”

Miller went on to emphasize that, while there are a few fun questions on topics like UFOs, the former President is making his pivot to the 2024 general election, revealing that Trump has some “pretty tough words” for President Biden and Vice President Harris. “There is a very serious policy discussion about where America has gotten off track, what we have to do to get back,” Miller added.

In a preview posted on Instagram by Tucker Carlson, the former Fox host presses Trump on a range of issues including why he declined to participate in the first Republican primary debate, if he thinks the Democrats will try to steal the election again in 2024, and if he believes Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Carlson bluntly asks the former President, “Do you think we’re moving towards civil war?”

One major issue Trump will address is his hostile relationship with Republican Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell – revealing in the preview that McConnell was actively whipping GOP Senators to vote to impeach and remove him from office while he was President.

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Trump at his Bedminster, New Jersey estate will air on X (formerly Twitter) at 8:55pm (ET), just ahead of the first Republican primary debate, airing at 9:00pm (ET).

EXC – Fox Source: ‘We’re Banned from Mentioning Trump-Tucker Interview’.

A Fox News source has told The National Pulse the network has “literally banned” any mentions of the upcoming interview between Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump, due to air at 9pm EST on Wednesday. Trump teased the interview by claiming “sparks will fly” in an overt and likely successful attempt to counter-programme what he has dubbed the “Vice Presidential debates“.

“We’re literally banned from talking about it or mentioning it,” said the source, before adding that the network had ordered anchors to never discuss the former Fox host’s discussion with Trump, extending as far as writing about the matter in the network’s chyrons.

On Monday, Fox aired an interview with a man they billed simply as a “Wisconsin GOP voter” who spoke eloquently about his support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. A brief National Pulse investigation revealed Chris Lawrence to be a political activist who has worked for a number of anti-Trump groups or politicians.

WATCH: CNN Admits ‘Trump Was Right… Biden Was Wrong’ on Major Topic.

CNN’s Jake Tapper shocked his panel guests and presumably his television audience by admitting “Trump was right… Biden was wrong” in reference to their 2020 presidential debate dust-up over Hunter Biden and his business dealings with China and Ukraine.

Tapper, who hosts CNN’s The Lead, drew his panelists’ attention to an early August fact check by the Washington Post‘s Glenn Kessler, awarding Joe Biden “Four Pinocchios” for his denial:

“… Biden, during the debate, denied his son had made money in China. In court last week, his son has said he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from Chinese business deals.”

WATCH:

The exchange of words between Trump and Biden was sparked by moderator Kristen Welker, who pressed the elder Biden if he thought his son’s business dealings in China and Ukraine were, “…inappropriate or unethical.” The question obviously agitated Biden who responded in a raised voice that his son Hunter  Biden “…has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China.” Biden then quipped that, “…the only guy who made money from China is this guy [gesturing at Donald Trump]. He’s the only one. Nobody else has made money from China.”

Trump fired right back at Biden, saying that once Joe Biden had become Vice President, Hunter “…made a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow and various other places. Biden emphatically stated: “That is not true.” Recent court documents have revealed that Hunter Biden did in fact earn millions from these deals.

NeoCon NeverTrumper Says Small Dollar Donors Are ‘Biggest Problem for Democracy’.

Jonah Goldberg – a former editor of the increasingly left-wing National Review website – took to CNN this week to explain that only large, billionaire donors have the country’s interests at heart, and that “small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for democracy.”

The full statement from the rabid NeverTrump activist:

 “There was a lot of cheering and self congratulation about the rise of small donors a decade ago. And now small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for democracy, for the GOP. Large donors actually have a strategic view about moderation, who can win, and who can’t. Small donors are really just venting their spleen with their credit card.”

Writing for The Dispatch, a liberal publication Goldberg recently founded, he expanded on his defense of the GOP establishment, accusing grassroots supporters of, “…suffer[ing] from the delusion that they are victims of the ruling classes and that the woke left is running everything…”. He concludes: “For those desperate for a Republican nominee other than Trump, hoping voters will change their minds seems scary. But that’s democracy for you.”

New Populist Bluegrass Anthem Takes Social Media by Storm.

Oliver Anthony – a musician from Farmville, Virginia – is taking social media by storm with his song entitled “Rich Men North Of Richmond.” A clip of the song and an accompanying video already has over 200,000 views at the time of publication, with its YouTube equivalent at nearly half-a-million after just 24 hours.

The bluegrass anthem is a condemnation of the Washington D.C.’s political establishment and the wealthy men who influence American politics who have left the working class behind. Anthony’s lyrics lament the skyrocketing suicide rate amongst men in America; the struggle of working Americans to make ends meet; and Washington’s penchant for sending money to aid in conflicts overseas before helping those most in need at home”

I’ve been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay. So I can sit out here, and waste my life away drive back home, and drown my troubles away. It’s a damn shame, what the world’s gotten to, for people like me and people like you.

Anthony’s chorus makes the song’s political message plenty clear:

These rich men north of Richmond, lord knows they all just wanna have total control. Wanna know what you think wanna know what you do. And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do. Because your dollar ain’t shit. And it’s taxed to no end because of rich men north of Richmond.

Lib Media Freaks Out Over Trump’s ‘Sound of Freedom’ Screening.

The Guardian newspaper has stepped up its attacks on the anti-child trafficking Sound of Freedom movie after former President Donald J. Trump screened the film for a select group at his Bedminster club on Wednesday.

The British newspaper led by describing Sound of Freedom as “a hit with Qanon devotees” – although in fact it has been a hit with moviegoers generally, beating Disney’s big-budget Indiana Jones movie when it debuted on July 4th and coming in second behind the latest installment of Mission: Impossible this past weekend.

Legacy media outlets have been at pains to link Sound of Freedom and its leading man, Jim Caviezel, to “Qanon conspiracy theories” centered on the Democratic Party, Satanism, and child sexual abuse, though The Guardian was forced to admit seven paragraphs into its hit piece that the movie, which was actually finished in 2018, is based on a true story.

media

Tim Ballard, who Caviezel portrays, really does head a trafficker-busting organization called Operation Underground Railroad, and a raid on a Colombian island where traffickers were holding large numbers of children, depicted in the movie, really happened.

Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief at The National Pulse, reviewed Sound of Freedom shortly after its release, dubbing it “the most important movie of the year.”

Biden’s White House Called 42 ‘Brunch Lids’ This Year – What Are Those?

The Biden White House has called 42 “brunch lids” and 39 “lunch lids” this year, according to analysis by the Spectator magazine, which explains:

The White House typically calls a temporary press lid for a couple of hours each afternoon. This is a period of time where there are no public events on the president’s schedule and everyone in the press corps is allowed to rest and recharge.

Previous administrations were big on calling these “lunch lids,” but due to the pause on activity starting earlier in the day and the Biden admin just being bad and bougie, “brunch lid” has become the new favorite term. From Cockburn’s rough count of White House pool reports so far this year, the Biden admin has called thirty-nine lunch lids and forty-two brunch lids. Talk about a bottomless brunch!

While humorous and “very D.C.”, the policy goes a long way to explaining the inefficacy of Biden’s White House and the press corps that is supposed to hold it to account. Fundamentally, they’re starting their days at 8am, and calling a “lid” by 11 for “brunch”. It’s unclear as to whether or not many of those who are brunching even end up coming back to the office after.

Biden has vacationed an inordinate amount during his time in the Oval Office, often at the expense of his political donors, who are known to ask favors in return for use of their facilities.

Dems Now Trust MSNBC More Than CNN.

MSNBC is considered to be more trustworthy by Democrat voters than CNN, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports. A total of 23 percent of Democrats trust MSNBC compared to the 22 percent who trust CNN.

CNN has faced a number of challenges since it’s hyper-editorialised, anti-Trump derangement, post-2015. Recently, the network fired its CEO Chris Licht for having the temerity to host a former President and presidential front runner in a town hall where he mopped the floor with the channel’s newest nightly anchor, Kaitlin Collins.

The most trusted corporate media organization is still Fox News, both amongst the American public and Republican voters. But the numbers are hardly solid. Just one in four – 25 percent – of Americans “trust” Fox News, with that figure increasing to 43 percent amongst Republican voters. Notably, Democrats trust Fox News more than they trust ABC, CBS, and NBC News.

Media Bias. 

Rasmussen also asked the 1,005 likely US voters: “Is the problem of bias in the news media getting better or worse? Or is the problem about the same as usual?”

A majority of 58 percent told Rasmussen they believe media bias has worsened, including almost half of Democrats – 42 percent – and a whopping 68 percent of Republicans. Only 13 percent of the respondents believe that media bias has improved.

Fox Host ‘Kennedy’ Says Biden Turns Her On 😬

Fox News host Lisa ‘Kennedy’ has admitted to being ‘turned on’ by President Joe Biden after reading a recent Axios report that detailed Biden’s supposed bad temper and proclivity to swear at his White House aides and staffers.

Kennedy, 50, argued on a recent appearance on Fox News‘ “Outnumbered” earlier this week:

“Swearing at people, it’s a quirk,” before going on to explain how she enjoyed reading about Biden’s “volatile” temper, to the surprise of the other show hosts:

“[It] kinda turned me on when I heard that the President gets angry and volatile, I’m not gonna lie.”

– Kennedy

The Axios report revealed that behind closed doors Joe Biden “has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him.” Former White House staffers told the outlet that he often can be heard shouting,”God dammit, how the f**k don’t you know this?!” As well as “Don’t f**king bullsh*t me!” and “Get the f**k out of here!”

Kennedy’s weekday Fox Business show was recently cancelled.
