<p>&#8220;We are very busy in the White House today working on Trade Deals.

South Korea is right now at a 25% Tariff, but they have an offer to buy down those Tariffs. I will be interested in hearing what that offer is.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have just concluded a Deal with the Country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive Oil Reserves,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We are in the process of choosing the Oil Company that will lead this Partnership. Who knows, maybe they’ll be selling Oil to India some day!&#8221;</p>
<p>The president went on to say that other countries were lining up to make similar deals — an important detail given that the imminent tariff deadline, August 1, is less than two full days from taking effect. Several other eleventh-hour deals have already been inked in the last week before the deadline, including one with the European Union during Trump&#8217;s weekend trip to Scotland.</p>
<p>&#8220;Likewise, other Countries are making offers for a Tariff reduction,&#8221; Trump concluded. &#8220;All of this will help reduce our Trade Deficit in a very major way. A full report will be released at the appropriate time. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;</p>

<p>A city councilman from Danville, Virginia, was doused in gasoline and set on fire in a horrific attack on Wednesday, multiple reports have confirmed.</p>
<p>Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler, 38, was allegedly attacked by Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29 — who has since been placed under arrest — in the offices of Showcase Magazine. Hayes, according to the outlet&#8217;s publisher and local law enforcement, dumped a five-gallon bucket of gasoline over Vogler — and when Vogler ran out of the building, Hayes followed and set him on fire.</p>
<p>Vogler was able to identify his attacker at the scene and was airlifted to a hospital for emergency treatment. &#8220;Lee is awake and talking, and is en route to the burns center in Lynchburg,&#8221; Andrew Brooks, publisher of Showcase Magazine, said in a statement.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F753226864331174%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="591" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Our hearts and prayers are with him. We don’t really know what to say,&#8221; Brooks added.</p>
<p>According to multiple reports, Vogler and the suspect knew each other prior to the attack, and the motive is not believed to be political.</p>
<p>&#8220;Please join me in praying for Councilman Lee Vogler and for his family. We stand with Danville and support a full investigation into this attack. Violence is never the answer and must be condemned,&#8221; Lt. Governor Winsome Sears responded to the attack with a call for prayer — and an investigation.</p>

<p>John Reid, who is running to be Virginia&#8217;s next Lt. Governor, added, &#8220;What happened in Danville is horrifying. A deranged individual broke into the offices of Showcase Magazine and set City Councilman J. Lee Vogler on fire. Let me say this as clearly as I can: Violence has no place in our Commonwealth. No disagreement ever justifies hatred, threats, or brutality.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, we stand with J. Lee Vogler. We are praying for his full recovery, for strength in the days ahead, and for peace for his loved ones and the entire Danville community. This is about humanity. It’s about drawing a line and saying, &#8216;Enough.&#8217; We can disagree without dehumanizing. We can debate without descending into chaos. Virginia is better than this. And we all have a role to play in keeping it that way,&#8221; he continued.</p>

Virginia City Councilman Doused In Gasoline, Set Aflame In Horrific Attack

<p>CNBC hosts Joe Kernen and Rick Santelli tag-teamed a roast of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after the second quarter economic numbers came back stronger than expected.</p>
<p>Kernen led the charge, first talking about the positive changes in the economy and then using that to bash Warren for repeatedly claiming — even in the face of evidence to the contrary — that the United States economy was heading into doom and gloom because of President Donald Trump.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>

<p>&#8220;The Left, and the people who don&#8217;t like the president, and don&#8217;t want things to work, you know, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, will come on and say, &#8216;Inflation is out of control, and the economy is getting killed by what&#8217;s happening, by these tariffs!&#8221; Kernen began. &#8220;This three percent, with the market at new highs — and really, we haven&#8217;t seen inflation go up back to three percent, maybe it will this week and we&#8217;ll see it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But none of these things, none of these horrible things have happened, but they still talk like it&#8217;s happening. It&#8217;s amazing!&#8221; Kernen continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s an important lesson there,&#8221; Rick Santelli added. &#8220;Don&#8217;t pick a congressman to be your money manager, that&#8217;s what I would say. In the end, Congress has their own reasons to point out certain things, and the Democrats, as you pointed out, really don&#8217;t want to see the current administration have some success, but there&#8217;s no doubt that this is some success.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing more horsepower, we&#8217;re seeing better equities, inflation — inflation really hasn&#8217;t changed much in the last year or so,&#8221; Santelli concluded.</p>
<p>Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chuck-schumer-gaslights-senate-with-his-take-on-q2-numbers-you-dont-see-what-you-see">Chuck Schumer</a> gave an example in real time of what Kernen had described, taking to the Senate floor on Wednesday to claim that despite the strong second quarter numbers, doom and gloom lay &#8220;under the hood.&#8221;</p>

CNBC Hosts Use Economic Numbers To Roast Elizabeth Warren

<p>Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Wednesday that she will not run for governor in her home state of California — and while she did not rule out any future campaign plans, she hinted that, at least &#8220;for now,&#8221; her place was not in any elected office.</p>
<p>Harris commented, &#8220;My statement on the California governor&#8217;s race and the fight ahead&#8221; — as she shared her announcement in a post on X.</p>

<p>&#8220;Over the past six months, I have spent time reflecting on this moment in our nation&#8217;s history, and the best way for me to continue fighting for the American people and advancing the values and ideals I hold dear,&#8221; Harris said in a statement, going on to say that she valued her time in the multiple elected offices she&#8217;s held — from California Attorney General to Vice President — and planned to continue working as &#8220;a public servant.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their governor. I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,&#8221; she announced.</p>
<p>She went on to say that she planned to continue supporting other Democrats as they ran for office, adding, &#8220;For now, my leadership — and public service — will not be in elected office. I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harris did not mention the possibility of a <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/30/kamala-harris-wont-run-for-california-governor-00484884">second run</a> at the White House in 2028, but rumors have swirled about that possibility since she lost her 2024 bid to President Donald Trump. Her decision not to run for California Governor may fuel more speculation on that topic — and it certainly changes the landscape for potential gubernatorial candidates in California, many of whom were expecting her to enter the race.</p>

Kamala Will Not Run For Governor In California

<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) responded to the second quarter economic numbers by attempting to gaslight other members of the deliberative body and effectively telling them they weren&#8217;t really seeing what they were seeing.</p>
<p>Schumer took to the Senate floor on Wednesday, where he reacted to the news that the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States was up 3.0% in the second quarter — surpassing the predicted 2.3% and reversing a 0.5% decline from the first quarter.</p>

<p>&#8220;And while the Trump administration will try to wave rosy headlines about the Q2 numbers, today&#8217;s GDP number is, in fact, a mirage,&#8221; Schumer claimed, warning, &#8220;Some ominous numbers lurk under the hood.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Business investment plunged in the second quarter,&#8221; he said, claiming that Trump&#8217;s economy was so unstable that businesses were afraid to deploy capital. &#8220;Businesses are worried about growing their operations, worried about hiring more workers, worried about trading with their international partners, and worried in general about the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schumer went on to blame President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs for the whole scenario — which he continued to insist was far gloomier than it looked, warning, &#8220;And if Donald Trump keeps up the chaos, the dangers for the economy will continue to get worse.&#8221;</p>
<p>During his remarks from the Senate floor, Schumer also panned Trump&#8217;s historic trade deal with the European Union — inked during his trip to Scotland over the weekend — and tried to claim that it would be bad for the United States.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>

<p>Using air quotes around the word &#8220;deal,&#8221; Schumer offered no evidence as he claimed, &#8220;It will result in a $90 billion per year tax hike on American families. When you raise tariffs, the American families pay for it. $90 billion tax on American families in the tariff deal with the European Union.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Donald Trump is, as usual, trying to hype up, exaggerate, and lie about his accomplishment!&#8221; he claimed, and then lost his place and had to check his notes for the right insult as he continued: &#8220;He — Donald Trump always lies — almost always lies — about his accomplishments — and this is no — exception.&#8221;</p>

Chuck Schumer Gaslights Senate With His Take On Q2 Numbers: You Don’t See What You See

<p>If late night comedy on network television is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/late-night-collapse-colberts-fall-and-the-death-of-balanced-comedy">dying</a>, NBC host and comedian Seth Meyers may have inadvertently revealed one of the reasons for that — and admitted that he has played a part in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-host-breaks-ranks-offers-surprisingly-sane-reason-for-colberts-ouster">bringing that about</a>.</p>
<p>Meyers told host Dax Shepard on his &#8220;Armchair Expert&#8221; podcast that his goal — as the host of &#8220;Late Night with Seth Meyers&#8221; — is to make sure that his show is &#8220;cathartic&#8221; for him while he&#8217;s making it and for the audience as they&#8217;re watching it.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Seth Meyers goes on the Armchair Expert podcast and claims that he views his &#8216;Late Night&#8217; NBC job as wanting &#8220;to make a show that&#8217;s both cathartic to do and cathartic to watch.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/wqHq2AeTYG">pic.twitter.com/wqHq2AeTYG</a></p>
<p>— Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) <a href="https://twitter.com/alexchristy17/status/1950235834671599859?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 29, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Shepard began by pointing to the obvious left-leaning nature of Meyers&#8217; show, asking whether he felt like people who agreed with him came to watch his show because they found it comforting in a way. What he didn&#8217;t say aloud was that having a show that leaned so far in one particular direction could potentially alienate half of the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;Have you felt over the years that it&#8217;s a bit of a dog whistle for people to come commiserate with you in a way that you&#8217;re like, ‘Ugh,’ I don&#8217;t, let&#8217;s put it this way. I have my own political opinions. I find one of the most boring things in the world is to hear someone else&#8217;s political opinions because there&#8217;s only two, but everyone&#8217;s saying it as if they thought of it themselves and it&#8217;s novel,&#8221; Shepard said. &#8220;No. You just declared you&#8217;re on that side. I get it. So, I would imagine people find you in restaurants and they want to bond over that with you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meyers agreed, but went on to take the argument a bit further — saying that ultimately it didn&#8217;t matter if he was changing the minds of people who did not agree with him and suggesting that his show might inspire more of the people who do agree with him to get out and vote.</p>
<p>&#8220;Early on, people would say, ‘Do you really think you&#8217;re changing anyone&#8217;s mind?’ And it was ‘no.’  I would like to think that maybe we could, like, if someone&#8217;s like, ‘Should I vote or not?’ You would want to maybe if they watch our show, they think ‘You know what, I am going to get out and cast a ballot,'&#8221; he claimed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah. Yeah. But I think you&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find someone in America that doesn&#8217;t know how they feel about Trump,&#8221; Shepard replied. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s one left.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that for us, we want to make a show that&#8217;s both cathartic to do and cathartic to watch,&#8221; Meyers continued, making it clear that he viewed his show as a place for liberal opinion first and comedy second — if at all.</p>
