In a story the entire media downplayed, a third-party candidate in this presidential race who was earning anywhere from 4% to 8% in the race has endorsed Donald Trump. I’m speaking, of course, of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Could RFK Jr. be the margin of victory for Trump by endorsing him? Absolutely. So what are the media doing? They’re absolutely downplaying him endorsing Trump. It was not only a very big moment for Kennedy to endorse Trump, but he also gave a barn burner of a speech, the first 15 minutes of which was one of the most articulate and directed assaults against the media and the Democrats I have ever heard. Of course, when Kennedy started that, CNN cut to their own anchors. They pulled away from RFK in the middle of that historic announcement, specifically because he was assaulting them at the time. He started by launching into the Democratic Party, which had basically barred him from any of the primaries in an attempt to cover up Biden’s senility. The Democratic Party rigged its primary rules to stop anyone from running seriously against Biden to ensure he’d get the nomination. RFK Jr. called them out: In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it, lacking confidence in its candidate, that its candidate could win in a fair election at the voting booth. The DNC waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself. … It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden. Then, when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without an election. Totally correct.  Then, he went after the media and was spot-on again. Over the course of more than a year in a campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the high 20s, the DNC-allied mainstream media networks maintained a near-perfect embargo on interviews with me. During his 10-month presidential campaign in 1992, Ross Perot gave 34 interviews on mainstream networks. In contrast, during the 16 months since I declared, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN combined to give only two live interviews with me. Those networks instead ran a continuous daily stream of hit pieces with inaccurate, often vile pejoratives and defamatory smears. Some of those same networks colluded with the DNC to keep me off the debate stage. Correct again. Then, he formally endorsed Trump in the middle of the speech: It’s with a sense of victory and not defeat that I am suspending my campaign activities. Not only did we do the impossible by collecting a million, we changed the national political conversation forever.  It is with a sense of victory, not defeat, that I am suspending my campaign activities. Not only did we do the impossible by collecting one million signatures, but we also changed the national political conversation forever. … and these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump. He listed free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on American children’s health. This is a big deal. Many people are trying to play this down, suggesting he doesn’t have that many voters left. But the reality is that the voters who left him already went to Kamala Harris, so he was just a holding position for people who were favoring Trump but liked RFK better. Now, he’s fully joined the campaign. Enthusiasm has been injected into the Trump campaign. On Friday, Trump introduced RFK at a speech in Arizona, and the crowd went nuts. We are now in the homestretch of this campaign. It is up to Donald Trump to actually prosecute the case against Kamala Harris. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show He’s going to be fighting in the face of an overwhelming media tsunami like we have never seen. We’ve been watching it happen in real time. And it is mind-bogglingly crazy to witness the media openly being the Praetorian Guard for Kamala Harris. It’s been the Biden-Harris administration since Day One. Now we are told that not only is she an amazing politician, but she also has no responsibility for anything that has happened under the Biden administration. Everything she touches is a giant failure, but the machine wants her because all the machine cares about is that its positions are forwarded. The DNC is a well-oiled machine, and that machine was breaking down because its face was a dead person. The face of the machine was Joe Biden, so they did what a machine would do; they ousted the dead body, and they put in place a fresh new face — except that Harris is not fresh or a new face.  Kamala Harris is the fresh coat of paint on the broken machine that has been running American politics for at least 12 of the last six years.  Democrats typically are quite happy with their party because they get most of what they want from their party. What they want from their party is a continuous move to the Left, and they always get it. Dump trucks filled with money arrived at the doorstep of the Harris campaign from billionaire donors the moment she was chosen. All of this relies on Democrats having to hide what the machine does. They have to pretend Harris is something new. They have to hide her. So far: 37 days, no interviews. This is how dictatorships work. It doesn’t matter what the person’s policies are. You are supposed to worship Big Brother, but not know his position. The whole point in delaying this is to make sure no one knows her positions when they go to the polls. They hold the American public in utter disdain. In fact, Harris is now attempting to switch all of the terms of the debate to which she agreed with President Trump. She wants to change the rules. She’s come out of the woodwork to explain that she wants the mics to be hot. Why does she want the mics to be hot? She is betting that Trump won’t be able to contain himself, that he will find a way to talk over her, and then she will be able to do the “I’m talking here” routine she used against Mike Pence in 2020. She jumped in to pretend she was being victimized because she’s a woman. She’s going to try that again. She also wants to be able to interrupt Trump because she wishes to jump in, along with the commentators, and “fact-check” him in real time to get under his skin. That’s the entire goal. She wants to be seated because Trump is taller than she is. And she wants to use notes because Harris without notes is a disaster. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. They want to change all the rules. The whole goal here is to change the rules. They’re hoping that if the negotiations break down, there won’t be any debates at all, which would be her ideal because she doesn’t want a debate. She never wants to be fact-checked or asked a simple question. At this point, the entire Trump campaign should be asking: “So why didn’t you do it?” Every time she says she wants to do something, the answer from Trump should be: “So why didn’t you do it?” “You say that you want to secure the border. So why didn’t you do it? You say you wanted to bring down inflation. So why didn’t you do it? You say you want to make housing cheaper, so why didn’t you do it? You’re the vice president of the United States.” That’s the point: to say over and over, “Why didn’t you do it?” Because guess what? Trump did. He was the president. His record proves it. But the entire goal is to obscure her record and pretend that she doesn’t exist, that she should only exist as a concept. But if Trump hits her with a reality check, he will do Americans a great service for the future. Because in the end, reality always wins.

Sixteen Republican-led states filed a lawsuit in partnership with America First Legal against the Biden-Harris administration over a plan to give as many as 1.3 million illegal immigrants what critics call “immediate executive amnesty.” The lawsuit, filed on Friday, challenges a new parole-in-place program from the Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Homeland Security “that effectively provides a new pathway to citizenship for more than a million illegal aliens.” “Longstanding federal law prohibits aliens who entered the United States unlawfully from obtaining most immigration benefits,” the lawsuit states, addressing the Biden-Harris administration program that would allow some illegal aliens to stay in the United States while requesting parole status. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “This includes obtaining lawful permanent resident status—without first leaving the United States and waiting outside the United States for the requisite time—based on an approved family-based or employment-based visa petition,” the suit goes on to say. While the administration has claimed that roughly 550,000 illegal immigrants would be eligible for the parole-in-place amnesty, the lawsuit argues that the figure is “likely a significant underestimate,” also stating that the real number could be as high as 1.3 million. “Biden’s new parole workaround unilaterally grants the opportunity for citizenship to unvetted aliens whose first act on American soil was to break our laws,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton contended. “This violates the Constitution and actively worsens the illegal immigration disaster that is hurting Texas and our country.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI The sixteen states that joined the lawsuit as plaintiffs against the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security are Texas, Idaho, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming. The lawsuit comes amid an unprecedented crisis on the southern border that has turned immigration into one of the most important issues heading into the November elections. Over 10 million people have crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since he was inaugurated in 2021. There were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under the Trump administration.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Monday that if he wins back the presidency this fall, he will create a new reserve component for the U.S. Space Force. Trump made the remarks while speaking at the National Guard Association of the United States conference in Detroit about national security issues. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea,” Trump said at the time. “We have the Air Force, we’ll have the space force.” During his speech in Detroit, Trump added that he wants to create a missile defense system around the U.S. that is similar to Israel’s “Iron Dome.” “And, we’re going to build a great Iron Dome for missile defense around our nation,” he said. “Other countries have said Israel has it. You know, Ronald Reagan wanted this many years ago, but we didn’t have the technology at that point. But now we have the technology.”

Roughly one-third of the funds spent by the Lincoln Project, a political action committee founded by former Republican political consultants with the aim of stopping former President Donald Trump, this election cycle has gone to firms controlled by its senior operatives, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show. The Lincoln Project has spent $12.8 million since January 2023, and just over $4 million of that has gone to firms owned by members of its leadership, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of FEC records. Fox Business in 2021 reported that more than half of the $90 million the Lincoln Project had raised for the 2020 election was paid out to firms owned by its leaders. Of the Lincoln Project’s total spending this election cycle, about 31% has gone toward various types of consulting, roughly 16% has gone toward salary or payroll, and around 10% has gone toward producing ads not intended to oppose or support a specific candidate, per FEC records. The organization also spent more than $500,000 on “podcast services” and nearly $1 million on legal fees. “Their whole shtick is ticking off Donald Trump, and that’s what they sell,” Capital Research Center senior investigative researcher Ken Braun told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “They’ve really come up with a unique way of weaponizing negative campaigning against their own donors, and that’s a lot easier of a thing to raise money [off of] than actually being effective. You can show your donors, ‘Look, we said this nasty thing about Donald Trump, don’t you like that? Here, give us more money!’ … I’ve got to hand it to them in a very cynical way, they’ve come up with a really effective way to raise money, without really being effective.” Lever Communications, formerly known as Joe Trippi & Associates, has raked in nearly $1 million from the Lincoln Project this election cycle for consulting and digital advertising work, per campaign finance filings. Trippi is a Democratic strategist and a senior adviser at the Lincoln Project. Lincoln Project board member and co-founder Rick Wilson’s firm, Intrepid Media, meanwhile, took in $664,000 from the PAC, primarily for “strategy consulting,” disclosures show. Wilson’s son, Andrew, also received a large check courtesy of the Lincoln Project’s donors, with the PAC paying him $105,750 for “corporate campaign management.” The Lincoln Project has been criticized for self-dealing since it started operating as a PAC in 2019. George Conway, one of the Lincoln Project’s co-founders who left the organization in 2020, even said in March 2021 that the organization “should shut down, absent full disclosure of its finances.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., meanwhile, said in 2020 the group entered “scam territory” due to its high fundraising totals and lackluster results, according to Business Insider. Among its failed campaigns in 2020 was a $2.7 million effort to unseat Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., who won by 10 points, and its $1.7 million spending spree to replace Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, which resulted in her winning by nine points. More recently, the Lincoln Project spent $300,000 supporting Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s 2021 run for Virginia governor. Republican Glenn Youngkin achieved an upset victory by becoming the first member of the GOP to hold the governor’s mansion since 2009, Fox News Digital reported. Braun went on to argue that Republicans should be grateful that money is flowing into the Lincoln Project, as opposed to what he would consider a more competent committee. “I think any donor that gives money to the Lincoln Project thinking that they are succeeding in stopping Republicans from getting elected … that’s exactly the opposite of what’s happening, and I would want as much money going to the Lincoln Project as possible.” Among the other firms controlled by members of the Lincoln Project’s leadership that took in large sums from the PAC during the 2024 election cycle was Summit Strategic Communications, a consulting firm owned by Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen, which was paid $531,000. Message Mountain Productions, another consultancy owned by senior adviser Stuart Stevens, received $410,000 from the PAC. The Katz Watson Group, which is run by the Lincoln Project’s finance director, Fran Katz Watson, was paid $384,000 for “fundraising consulting,” and Veracity Reigns, which is owned by former senior adviser Tara Setmayer, got $372,000 from the PAC primarily for “administrative consulting.” Viking Strategies, which is run by senior adviser Trygve Olson, and Two Rivers Public Affairs, a “political advocacy company” where Lincoln Project senior adviser Jeff Timmer serves as a partner, both took in hundreds of thousands of dollars for consulting as well. Allegations of self-dealing and inefficacy, however, have not stopped the Lincoln Project, as the PAC has spent $657,000 on operations supporting or opposing political candidates, working primarily to stop Trump from being elected to a second term, FEC records show. Among its recent campaigns is the use of geographically specific attack ads to target people at a Trump golf club in New Jersey, paying for anti-Trump mobile billboards at the Republican National Convention, and attempting to sow discontent within the Trump campaign by running ads advocating for the firing of high-level staffers. “In truth, not even Trump or his supporters were the real target audience for the Lincoln Project’s attacks,” Braun wrote in 2022. “Trump & Co. were instead the bait used [to] hook the real target: the tens of millions of Trump haters … and their money.” Wilson, Trippi, Stevens, Galen, Watson, Setmayer, Olson, Timmer and the Lincoln Project did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine the fallout from the the Democratic National Convention and the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Every pollster has his or her own take—and, as usual, no one is using their common sense. With former Democrat Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard joining the Trump endorsement crew, what differences, if any, should we expect? With Joel Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, announcing rate cuts just in time for the election, what accountability is there for all those falsified jobs numbers from the Biden administration? Does your wallet have what it takes to survive yet another round of inflation? Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who legacy media have been championing as America’s “sitcom dad” for the last month after he became the Democratic vice presidential hopeful, is embroiled in even more scandals over embellishing his record. From dogs and Army ranks to Nebraskan awards and in vitro fertilization, he certainly picked the weirdest things to lie about. And Savanna Deretich joins us from Students for Life to bring an eyewitness analysis of the gubernatorial record of Walz and what it meant for her as a Minnesota resident. She claims the soft, friendly words from Walz did little to soothe the radical policy and violent riots which plagued his administration.
