A rapid response team created by the Democratic National Committee shared a fake video of Donald Trump Jr. purportedly saying the U.S. &#8220;should have been sending weapons to Russia,&#8221; not Ukraine.
FactPostNews posted the video of Trump Jr. speaking with someone who prompted, “But they forget that Ukraine isn’t the kind of country you go all in on — this is ridiculous,” Mediaite <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/viral-video-of-don-jr-arguing-america-should-have-been-sending-weapons-to-russia-is-fake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, adding, “The alleged comments went viral on social media, and were promoted by a number of prominent accounts including <a href="https://archive.ph/keItD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FactPost</a>, which is run by the Democratic National Committee.”

The video reportedly shows Trump Jr. responding, “I honestly can’t imagine anyone in their right mind picking Ukraine as an ally when Russia is the other option. I mean, just think about it: Massive nuclear power loaded with natural resources everyone needs, literally the biggest country on the planet. And ha ha, there’s Ukraine, which has Chernobyl, and some radiation-proof dogs. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is definitely the ally we need. Let’s dump all our money into them.’ Honestly, if anything, the U.S. should have been sending weapons to Russia.”

Kai Trump, the president&#8217;s 17-year-old granddaughter, could be one of the highest paid female athletes ever — and she hasn&#8217;t even started college yet.
According to the sports data site <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kai-trump-247684/">On3</a>, Kai Trump&#8217;s name, image, and likeness (NIL) is valued at $1.2 million. That valuation places her behind only LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, LSU basketball player Flau’jae Johnson, and UConn basketball standout Paige Bueckers among top-earning female athletes.
NIL is the &#8220;leading index in the industry that determines the projected annual value for high school and college athletes.” Kai Trump also finalized an NIL deal with Dallas-based Leaf Trading Cards last month, which sells autographed cards at $20 a pack.
The high school senior expressed gratitude to her family when she announced her commitment to the University of Miami, writing that she was thankful for “my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.”
Her social media following plays a significant role in that valuation. Kai Trump has “1.5 million followers on Instagram, 920,000 on X, and 2.9 million on TikTok,” The Independent <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kai-trump-nil-valuation-golf-miami-b2695637.html">reported</a>. She also has a YouTube channel which, while primarily focused on golf, recently gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the inauguration.
Kai Trump has described how her grandfather regularly checks in on her athletic endeavors, indicating that golfing conversations are frequent in their family.
Speaking at the Republican National Convention, she noted that the president, “calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his. But then I have to remind him that I’m in school, and I’ll have to call him back later.&#8221;

Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede responded to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s aspirations to acquire Greenland, telling Fox News on Thursday that he&#8217;s &#8220;open&#8221; to discussions over America&#8217;s role in Greenland&#8217;s defense but added that they are not interested in becoming Americans.
Egede was interviewed by Fox News host Bret Baier and asked about Trump&#8217;s repeated comments about Greenland becoming &#8220;part&#8221; of the U.S. Greenland, currently an autonomous territory of Denmark, is home to just over 56,000 people and potentially rich in minerals and oil. It is also strategically located between the U.S. and Russia.
“We don’t want to be Danes. We don’t even want to be Americans. We want to be Greenlanders,” Egede said.
Earlier this month, Egede <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/greenland-prime-minister-mute-egede-independence-denmark-colonialism-donald-trump-arctic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> at a press conference that it&#8217;s &#8220;time to take the next step&#8221; and pursue independence.
“Our cooperation with other countries, and our trade relations, cannot continue to take place solely through Denmark,” he remarked.
During his interview on Fox News, the prime minister emphasized the importance of Greenland&#8217;s partnership with NATO and the U.S., adding that he has no interest in becoming part of the U.S. as Trump has suggested.
“We will always be a part of NATO. We will always be a strong partner for the U.S.,” Egede said. “We are close neighbors. We have been incorporated in the last 80 years. And I think the future has a lot to offer, to cooperate with. But we want to also be clear, we don’t want to be Americans. We don’t want to be a part of the U.S., but we want strong cooperation together with the U.S.”

A key part of that cooperation, according to Egede, is keeping the U.S. military presence in Greenland, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5091212-greenland-donald-trump-expansion-proposal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adding</a> that it&#8217;s &#8220;especially&#8221; important &#8220;for your national security, and your national security is our security.&#8221;

Trump wrote alongside the video, “I am hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA.’ My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”
Donald Trump Jr. traveled to Greenland&#8217;s capital city of Nuuk for a short visit last week. Trump Jr. said the excursion was just &#8220;a very long personal day trip&#8221; and had nothing to do with &#8220;buying Greenland.&#8221;

Love him or hate him, we can’t ignore that when it comes to parenting, Donald Trump seems to be a pretty good father. The proof is evident in the behavior of his kids. Certainly, kids who have an ax to grind don’t act like his kids do.
First, adult sons and daughters who harbor deep anger toward a parent never speak highly of him or her, regardless of how famous they are. In fact, fame can be an ideal opportunity for angry kids to humiliate their parents. Trump’s older kids, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. don’t behave this way. In fact, they have no reason to publicly support their father so enthusiastically other than the belief that their father is a good and capable man. Sure, they may want to applaud him to further their own careers, but they don’t need to do this. They are each highly successful on their own. If they had lukewarm sentiments about their dad, they would at least fade into the background. But they haven’t. They have taken advantage of large public platforms to convince us that he has strong character and extraordinarily strong abilities to improve America. They wouldn’t do this if they believed that his intentions were other than altruistic. The fact that they have successfully convinced millions of Americans that he has what it takes to lead our country can only come from sincere sentiments.
Second, both his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are two of his most ardent supporters. How many in-laws boast about their father-in-law not only privately, but also publicly? Lara has no motive to boast other than genuine admiration and Jared could certainly stay silent.
When it comes to his business life, Trump puts his grown kids front and center. Fathers who want to dominate the spotlight, don’t do this. They own the public space and keep their adult kids in the background, in part, to avoid the risk that their kids will make derogatory statements about them. Trump takes the risk because he is confident they won’t humiliate or criticize him. He knows they will always support him.
When Trump’s older kids were young, he protected them from the paparazzi. He worked to keep his kids out of the spotlight until they wanted to jump into it of their own volition. His first three kids went away to school so that the press would leave them alone. Tiffany and Barron now enjoy that same privacy so they too can live their own lives. The president-elect could easily push all of them into the spotlight to make himself look like a good father, but he doesn’t. Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., along with Lara Trump, put themselves in the public and political arenas to bolster President-elect Trump’s career.
When it comes to raising his family, Trump appears to have nothing to hide. Most fathers would be afraid to give their kids the freedom to say what they want about their dad. Who among us would have the confidence to give our kids such a large media presence to say whatever they want about us? Not me. Only a father who feels confident about the job he has done would do so.
Many divorced couples carry resentment and anger after their breakup with their spouse and psychologists know how damaging the animosity can be on the couple’s kids. Donald has kept his kids from a lot of pain by embracing friendships with his two ex-wives. And while Ivana Trump passed away in 2022, we still see photos of Marla Maples, Melania, and Donald standing together smiling for the camera at Tiffany Trump’s wedding.
The peculiar thing about the president-elect’s life is that he seems to have successfully split himself into two men: the father and the political genius. In his former role, he appears to have worked hard at having close relationships with his kids. To the best of his ability, he has tried to spend as much time as possible with them. This is no easy task when you are running a multi-million-dollar real estate empire and then while being president. Succeeding at both takes impossible time and energy and yet, with these challenges, he has somehow stayed close with his kids.

The other side of Trump is hard to applaud. He has been accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment and harmful sexual behavior toward women. He has admitted to being a poor husband at times, and his numerous public affairs with women confirm this. Good husbands don’t cheat on their wives or sexually harass other women. The peculiar part is that his five kids know this and still publicly support and encourage him. This occurs only because, in some genuinely incredible feat, Trump has found a way to communicate to his kids that being their father is a much higher priority than even being a husband, businessman, or politician. His life as a father is completely separate from his work life, and his kids must feel this. If they refused to forgive or ignore his deep flaws they would take every opportunity to denounce him on the worldwide stage.
Donald Trump is a complex man. He is both a good man and a villain. This is hard for people to understand. The truth is, however, that we are all complex beings. Like him, we are not simply good or evil, kind or cruel. We are both. Certainly, as a man, Trump has made poor decisions, and offended many people to the point where they despise him. But clearly, he has done something well when it comes to his kids. And their behavior is a testimony to his personal success as a father.

President-elect Donald Trump is continuing his push for Greenland to become part of the U.S., writing in a Truth Social post on Monday evening that Greenland &#8220;will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation.&#8221;
Trump shared a video of a man in Greenland putting on a MAGA hat and urging the president-elect to &#8220;buy Greenland&#8221; because it no longer wants to be controlled by the Danish government.
&#8220;We are the richest nation in the world and we don&#8217;t get to use it,&#8221; the man said.
Trump wrote alongside the video, &#8220;I am hearing that the people of Greenland are &#8216;MAGA.&#8217; My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s son, Donald Trump Jr., arrived in Nuuk, Greenland&#8217;s capital city, on Tuesday for a private visit that lasted between four and five hours, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-jr-plans-greenland-visit-fathers-interest-resurfaces-2025-01-06/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Trump Jr. said on a podcast on Monday before his visit, &#8220;No, I am not buying Greenland. Funny enough, I&#8217;m actually going on a very long personal day trip to Greenland.&#8221;
Trump has repeatedly signaled that control of Greenland would be a priority for his administration, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-u-s-ownership-and-control-of-greenland-is-an-absolute-necessity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> last month, “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”
After Trump&#8217;s comments last month, the territory&#8217;s prime minister said Greenland wants full independence from Denmark.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25</a>
“The Greenlandic people’s opportunity for independence has been adopted through the provisions of the Self-Government Act, thereby creating a legal basis for how independence can be achieved,” Prime Minister Múte Egede said in a speech on New Year’s Day.
“A draft constitution for our country has also been prepared,” he added. “Work has already begun with regard to creating the framework for Greenland as an independent state within the possibilities and provisions of the Self-Government Act.”
Greenland contains potential oil and mineral wealth, and the island is strategically located between the U.S. and Russia. In 2021, Greenland&#8217;s Left-wing government suspended a 50-year push to become an oil-producing country, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/greenland-suspends-oil-exploration-because-of-climate-change#:~:text=The%20decision%20was%20made%20June,of%20the%20Arctic%20island's%20economy." target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowing</a> instead to &#8220;take the climate crisis seriously.&#8221;
Along with signaling interest in Greenland, Trump has also suggested that Canada should become the 51st state. On Monday after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113782682597333035" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!&#8221;

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; weighed in on rumors that Donald Trump Jr., President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s oldest son, had split from longtime fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, responding on Thursday to the news that she&#8217;d been appointed to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Greece.
In typical fashion, the midday talk show&#8217;s hosts — all of whom have expressed intense dislike for the president-elect and his family — used the news to bash the Trumps, saying that it must be a relief for Guilfoyle to no longer be forced to &#8220;deal with&#8221; Trump Jr.

&#8220;I just want to give credit to my girl Kimberly Guilfoyle,&#8221; cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin said, adding, &#8220;This is winning a break-up, I am sorry. I&#8217;m out here maybe playing checkers on a good day, she is playing chess. She gets to live in Athens in a residence paid for by the Greek government —&#8221;
There was a brief disagreement between the cohosts over who actually would pay for the residence (the U.S. government foots the bill for that) after which Griffin continued, suggesting that Guilfoyle had simply been playing along with the Trumps for months in order to get what she wanted out of the deal.

&#8220;So she is just living luxury, she&#8217;s probably for months been picking out her outfits, planning her new Greek boyfriends, while carrying on in public — this is great, this is how you win a breakup,&#8221; she laughed.
&#8220;I agree,&#8221; cohost Sunny Hostin jumped in, adding, &#8220;She&#8217;s a winner. She is winning. She doesn&#8217;t have to deal with Don Jr. anymore. Maybe she does. Maybe they&#8217;re polyamorous. Who knows? All I know is she&#8217;s gonna be in Greece. She&#8217;s going to be enjoying the sun. And I&#8217;m not mad at her.&#8221;
Cohost Joy Behar offered her thoughts as well, asking, &#8220;Is Greece far enough? I mean, don&#8217;t they need an Ambassador to the South Pole or something?&#8221;
Trump Jr. was spotted holding hands with socialite Bettina Anderson in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday, prompting questions about the relationship. Neither Guilfoyle nor Trump Jr. has addressed those questions, but the president&#8217;s son did respond to Guilfoyle being named ambassador.
&#8220;I am so proud of Kimberly. She loves America and she always has wanted to serve the country as an Ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First,&#8221; he posted.

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s “Triggered with Don Jr.” podcast on Monday, where the two discussed the success of Knowles’ <a href="https://mayflowercigars.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayflower Cigars</a> and how a positive vision for the future fueled the MAGA movement. 
Both Mayflower and MAGA are celebrating <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mayflower-cigars-celebrates-monumental-year-of-success" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive wins</a>. Obviously, the election of Donald J. Trump is the biggest win — for the future of America and the present economy — and Knowles discussed how a decisive Trump campaign strategy was similar to a strategy he uses for Mayflower. 
With Mayflower, “it’s not as though we’re saying ‘don’t give your money to woke cigar companies.’ You know, there aren’t woke cigar companies,” Knowles said. “It’s saying something different. We know this is a good product, a really high-quality product. It’s made with care, it’s artistic, there’s a story here with Mayflower.” 
“So, it’s not just that we’re offering the opportunity to harm another company,” Knowles added. “We’re offering you a positive vision. And I think this is something that MAGA has really done both culturally and in government.”
The Daily Wire host said the MAGA movement has offered more than a roadblock to “woke Democrats.” 
“We’re not merely against something. We’re for something,” Knowles added. “We’re for safe communities. We’re for healthy food. We’re for a strong America.”  
“That’s a big deal,” Trump Jr. responded.

Trump Jr. told Knowles that he’s been hoping to smoke a Mayflower stogie with him and floated the idea of getting together during his father’s inauguration on January 20, 2024. 
“I see you got the cigars there — We still have not had time to actually sit down and have one. We&#8217;re going to have to change that,” Trump Jr. said. “I sort of assumed my schedule was going to open up on November 6. It turns out it’s pretty busy until January 20th, so maybe in D.C. around the inauguration.” 
“That’s a good idea,” Knowles replied. “You’ve had one or two things on your mind, I would say, over the past few weeks, so your cigars are waiting here. They are ready for you. I like the idea. The inauguration is a good time to celebrate.”

Michael Knowles, Don Jr. Discuss ‘A Positive Vision’ For America

Mayflower Cigars

Michael Knowles

Donald Trump could reshuffle the White House briefing room to give podcasters like Joe Rogan more prominence than legacy media outlets, his son told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles on Monday.
Knowles floated the idea during an appearance on Trump&#8217;s Rumble show, <a href="https://rumble.com/v5t090w-regime-media-imploding-whats-next-for-msnbc-plus-michael-knowles-and-alex-m.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp">&#8220;Triggered,&#8221;</a> noting that mainstream media bias had reached new heights.
&#8220;I wonder now as your father is assembling his team, as maybe Karoline Leavitt is looking at the new press briefing room chart, maybe it&#8217;s time to reorder that chart, maybe take away some people&#8217;s seats,&#8221; Knowles said.
&#8220;So we&#8217;re going to break some news here,&#8221; Trump said, noting he &#8220;literally&#8221; just discussed this with his father and Elon Musk after last week&#8217;s SpaceX launch. Trump told Knowles that the president-elect floated replacing legacy media outlets in the White House Briefing Room with &#8220;Rogan and guys like you.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;d love to see Rogan in the White House press briefing, or even rotate guys out,&#8221; Trump said.
&#8220;We had the conversation about opening up the press room to a lot of these independent journalists,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;If the New York Times has lied, they&#8217;ve been adverse to everything, they&#8217;re functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party, why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships, stronger followings?&#8221;
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
Knowles praised the idea, but predicted that Democrats would object to bringing more diverse voices into the press room.
&#8220;The Left is gonna answer you, and they&#8217;re going to say well, the reason you need to keep the New York Times and the Washington Post in there is because they influence people, and the whole point of the White House briefing room is to convey the message of the White House to the American people.&#8221; he said. &#8220;But this is different, you have the New York Times and Washington Post admitting that podcasters and streamers are eating their lunch.&#8221;
Still, Knowles agreed it was high time to shake up the White House press pool.
&#8220;If they&#8217;re dishonest, if they&#8217;re not asking questions that are in the interest of the American people, and the American people aren&#8217;t even paying attention,&#8221; Knowles said, &#8220;is the White House Briefing Room a charity now for journalists who otherwise would be out of work? Sorry guys, learn to code.&#8221;

The leaders of President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>’s transition team announced Wednesday that they would be spending the next few weeks preparing to staff the next administration. 
Linda McMahon, former head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), and businessman Howard Lutnick released a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3222075/trump-transition-team-statement-election-victory-transition-process/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> detailing the transition team&#8217;s next steps after Trump&#8217;s landslide win. As of Thursday morning, Trump was projected to win the popular vote and 312 electoral votes, including a sweep of the battleground states. 
“Since the formation of President Trump’s transition organization and our announcement as Co-Chairs in August, we have been preparing for President Trump’s next administration,” McMahon and Lutnick said. “In the days and weeks ahead, President Trump will be selecting personnel to serve our nation under his leadership and enact policies that make the life of Americans affordable, safe, and secure.”
The two added that they would be presenting Trump with a “wide array of experts” to choose from to add to his administration. 
“As he chooses the best people to join his team and best policies to pursue, his transition team will ensure the implementation of President Trump’s common sense agenda starting on Day 1,” the joint statement said.
McMahon, the wife of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, led the SBA during Trump’s first term in office and has recently been in charge of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank. Lutnick, the billionaire head of financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald, was a prominent donor to Trump.

Other transition team members include Vice President-elect JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 
Trump Jr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reveals-who-will-lead-his-transition-team-if-he-wins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously said</a> he hoped to keep bad-faith actors from joining the administration. 
“I want to block the liars. I want to block the guys that are, you know, pretending they’re with you. I just want to block the bad actors. I just want to be a block. That’s it,” he said at the Republican National Convention in July. 
Trump is scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden in the coming days.
“President Trump looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said after Biden called to congratulate Trump. 
Biden is expected to speak Thursday morning from the White House for the first time since Tuesday’s election.

Donald Trump Jr. urged Republicans to vote as soon as they can over the next several days as the 2024 presidential election comes to a close.
He made the remarks Sunday evening at Madison Square Garden in New York City ahead of his father&#8217;s speech.
&#8220;The media would like to pretend that Kamala Harris started her political career about a month ago in a coup,&#8221; he said, calling the way that Harris took the nomination the most undemocratic process ever.
&#8220;She&#8217;s going to be a moderate, folks, she&#8217;s going to be a moderate, a radical San Francisco liberal, the daughter of a Marxist professor is now magically going to be a moderate,&#8221; he said, mocking the media&#8217;s claims.
He continued, &#8220;No one&#8217;s buying it anymore. You know why? Because they&#8217;ve been lying to you for the last nine years and you&#8217;re not buying their crap anymore.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;ve had enough,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The fact that I could drive here today with my father for like 25 blocks and watch the streets of New York lined up with red MAGA hats tells us everything you need to know. You had four years under Donald Trump, and despite the most vicious opposition from the media, from big tech, from the Democrats, and even from the weakling Republicans, you got results.&#8221;
He said the part of the Harris campaign that does not make sense was why she was not working to fix problems now, before January 20.
&#8220;Americans are suffering. People can&#8217;t make rent,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Businesses are going under, grocery prices are too expensive. I tell a story last summer. Last summer, I was coming back from a fishing trip with two of my boys, and we went to McDonald&#8217;s, and it was $48 for a 10-year-old, a 14-year-old, and me and guys, let me tell you, if Donald Trump Jr. has sticker shock at McDonald&#8217;s, we have a serious problem.&#8221;

He said that the country had a &#8220;once in a lifetime opportunity to change Washington, to put in common sense practices, to put Americans first, because they&#8217;re not first right now.&#8221;
&#8220;The Democrat Party has forgotten about Americans, rather than cater to Americans, they decided, you know what, it would just be easier to replace them with people who will be reliable voters,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The insanity has to stop, and the fact that we can pack Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City shows me that the spirit of the American people is there, that same spirit my father showed on July 13th, that&#8217;s the spirit of America.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s the spirit we need going into Election Day,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;So for the next nine days, each and every one of you, you line up like you&#8217;re the third monkey on line for the Ark and it&#8217;s starting to rain. You vote, you vote early, and then you bring your friends so that we can take back our country once and for all. And when we do that, guys, we&#8217;re not just going to make America great again. We&#8217;re going to make the world great, we&#8217;re going to make the world safe, we&#8217;re going to fix it all. Get out there, guys.&#8221;

Donald Trump Holds Campaign Rally At Madison Square Garden In NYC

Trump Jr. Urges Republicans To Vote Early

Kamala Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly once tried, unsuccessfully, to block Kimberly Guilfoyle from working for the San Francisco District Attorney&#8217;s office, a story that Guilfoyle says demonstrates Harris&#8217; history of undermining other women.
A Monday New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/us/politics/kamala-harris-kimberly-guilfoyle-san-francisco-da.html">report</a> notes that Harris tried to block Guilfoyle from getting a job in the San Francisco District Attorney&#8217;s office around 2000, as both women were on the rise in California politics. Guilfoyle, now a Trump campaign surrogate who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr., tells The Daily Wire that the incident encapsulates how Harris relates to other women.
&#8220;The fact is that for decades Kamala Harris has turned public service into self-service,&#8221; Guilfoyle told The Daily Wire. &#8220;From her conduct at the San Francisco DA’s office all the way to the vice presidency, she’s tried to lift herself up by attempting to bring others down.&#8221;
&#8220;She may talk about wanting to help other women, but reality tells a far different story,&#8221; Guilfoyle added. &#8220;And it extends to her party’s entire platform. From efforts to destroy women’s sports to enabling a border invasion that has taken the lives of innocent girls, this is a candidate and an agenda laser-focused on undermining the lives of women across this country.&#8221;
Guilfoyle and Harris &#8220;were young lawyers, rising political stars and social acquaintances in the most exclusive quarters of San Francisco civic life,&#8221; the Times notes. Harris&#8217; ex-lover, former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, described the two as &#8220;superstar women&#8221; to the Times, saying, &#8220;They represented the city.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_800909" style="width: 2570px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-800909" class="wp-image-800909 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/GettyImages-2162000674-1200x800.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></a>(Eva Marie Uzcategui/Bloomberg via Getty Images)</div>
When Guilfoyle sought a position in the San Francisco District Attorney&#8217;s office, around 2000, Harris sought to block her from doing so,<a href="https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Brains-brio-beauty-and-wounded-feelings-2512633.php"> SFGate reported at the time</a>. According to the publication, Harris got a hold of Guilfoyle&#8217;s resume and then gave her a call.
Both women were thought to be eying the San Francisco District Attorney position, which Harris <a href="https://oag.ca.gov/history/32harris">went on to win</a> in 2004 until 2010. A source close to Guilfoyle told The Daily Wire that she wasn&#8217;t actually interested in the position, and was instead looking towards larger opportunities in television.
“She had bigger items, and the bigger items were television,” former Harris boyfriend Willie Brown told the Times. “That would be Kimberly. She had that kind of chutzpah.”
But Harris&#8217; interference indicated that she did not want Guilfoyle as a competitor in her arena.
&#8220;She called me and said basically that she was on the hiring committee and in charge of the budget for the D.A.&#8217;s office, and that I should have gone through her if I wanted to return to the D.A.&#8217;s office — and that there was no money to hire me,&#8221; Guilfoyle told SFGate in 2003.
The call surprised Guilfoyle, who was dating then-San Francisco Supervisor Gavin Newsom at the time, as SFGate reported. The publication said that Guilfoyle called the San Francisco D.A.&#8217;s office to find out what Harris&#8217; call had meant — only to be told that Harris did not have a say in whether she was hired, and that there was no hiring committee at all.
Harris pushed back on Guilfoyle&#8217;s claims, telling SFGate that her call was just &#8220;to see if she needed any help — to let her know I was there to help her.&#8221;
&#8220;I never discouraged her from joining the office. I never suggested to her there wasn&#8217;t a job for her in the San Francisco D.A.&#8217;s office — of that, I&#8217;m very clear,&#8221; Harris told SFGate in 2003.
&#8220;I think she is a great lawyer,&#8221; Harris reportedly added, &#8220;and I look forward to working with her.&#8221;
According to the Times, Guilfoyle and Harris&#8217; boss corroborated Guilfoyle&#8217;s story, and recalled how Harris had &#8220;fierce opposition to the move.&#8221;
Neither the Harris campaign nor the White House responded to requests for comment.
Guilfoyle did end up getting a job in the San Francisco D.A.&#8217;s office several months later, and would go on to prosecute a high-profile case concerning Diane Whipple, a woman who was mauled to death by dogs. According to <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/diane-whipple-dog-mauling-death-sf-17802167.php">SFGate</a>, that &#8220;chaotic and tearful trial catapulted Guilfoyle to national fame, as news broadcasts carried nightly coverage of the day’s proceedings.&#8221; Guilfoyle would go on to work for Fox News, and now hosts The Kimberly Guilfoyle Show on Rumble.
&#8220;The landmark Diane Whipple dog mauling case didn’t just show that Kimberly was a legal star,&#8221; the source close to Guilfoyle told The Daily Wire. &#8220;But that she was also destined to be a TV star, too. And her trajectory in years after confirms that.&#8221;
Guilfoyle maintains that the anecdote is a good example of how Harris has postured on many issues related to women. She also points to Harris&#8217; support of taxpayer-funded sex-change surgeries for illegal immigrant prisoners, which could allow biological male criminals to live among female prisoners.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/there-are-22000-foreign-nationals-are-in-federal-prisons-all-eligible-for-taxpayer-funded-gender-transitions">reported last week</a> that the Federal Bureau of Prisons has about 22,000 foreign nationals in its custody, and it appears that all of these prisoners are eligible for taxpayer-funded gender transitions.

Kamala Reportedly Tried To Block Kimberly Guilfoyle From San Francisco DA’s Office

Gavin Newsom

Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s son said Monday that the Department of Justice is putting his father&#8217;s &#8220;life even more at risk&#8221; by releasing a letter from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-discover-release-letter-written-by-would-be-trump-assassin?topStoryPosition=2">attempted assassin Ryan Routh</a> allegedly promising $150,000 to anyone who could successfully assassinate Trump.
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you,” Routh allegedly <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25171975/routh-detention-memo.pdf">wrote in the letter,</a> which the Justice Department released during Routh&#8217;s pretrial detention hearing Monday. “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”
The Justice Department said that publishing the letter will &#8220;assist counsel and the Court.&#8221; But Donald Trump Jr. disagrees, telling The Daily Wire that publishing the bounty letter puts his father in even more danger than before.
“For the life of me, I do not understand why the Kamala-Biden DOJ is publicly releasing a letter from Ryan Wesley Routh announcing a $150,000 bounty on my dad’s head,&#8221; Donald Trump Jr. said. &#8220;They’re putting his life even more at risk with this reckless decision.&#8221;
Routh, a Democrat donor who accused Trump of ending &#8220;relations with Iran like a child,&#8221; allegedly argued in the letter that &#8220;Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president. U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity.”
Routh&#8217;s attempt comes after 20-year-old would-be assassin Thomas Crooks shot Trump in the ear, narrowly missing his head, during a Pennsylvania rally in July. Crooks <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/firefighter-killed-at-trump-rally-hailed-as-hero-for-shielding-his-family">killed</a> 50-year-old Corey Comparatore, a father of two, and critically injured two others during the assassination attempt.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the DOJ filing, prosecutors describe how agents looked in Routh&#8217;s vehicle and found additional license plates, cellphones, 12 pairs of gloves, a Hawaii Driver&#8217;s License, a passport, and handwritten list of dates in August, September, and October 2024 regarding where Trump had appeared or would appear. They also found a notebook with &#8220;dozens of pages&#8221; filled with names and phone numbers related to Ukraine or how to join combat on behalf of Ukraine, the filing said.
&#8220;On September 18, 2024, law enforcement was contacted by a civilian witness who stated that ROUTH had dropped off a box at his residence several months prior,&#8221; the filing said. &#8220;After learning of the September 15, 2024, incident at Trump International, the witness opened the box. The witness stated the box contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters. One handwritten letter, addressed to &#8216;The World,&#8217; stated, among other things, &#8216;This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.'&#8221;
The filing also notes that Routh was convicted on December 20, 2002, in Greensboro, North Carolina of possession of a weapon of mass destruction, the filing said — a &#8220;binary explosive device&#8221; — and convicted on March 3, 2010, of multiple counts of possession of stolen goods.
