Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk defended his work in President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration — through the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News&#8217; afternoon panel show &#8220;The Five.&#8221;
Regular liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov pressed the SpaceX CEO on his efforts, suggesting that he was using DOGE to benefit himself personally — and Musk quickly pointed out the fact that he was effectively under a microscope while he was working with the Trump administration, a fact that would make it very difficult for him pull off anything underhanded even if he wanted to do so.

Tarlov first declared herself a &#8220;liberal Tesla lover&#8221; — and informed Musk that she had &#8220;not thrown any Molotov cocktails recently&#8221; — before she began her line of questions regarding DOGE.
&#8220;I wanted to talk to you about what DOGE has been doing,&#8221; Tarlov said. &#8220;So you&#8217;ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have opened investigations and regulatory battles with your companies. At the same time, you continue to get billions in government contracts, Tesla gets billions in subsidies — how do you explain that to the American people?&#8221;
&#8220;Everything that DOGE does is an open book,&#8221; Musk replied. &#8220;We are the most transparent action — most transparent organization in government ever! Every single DOGE action is listed on the DOGE.gov website, it&#8217;s also listed on the X handle. So if anyone has a concern about any one of those actions, they can bring that up, they can raise that.&#8221;
Musk went on to say that he knew DOGE would make mistakes, but that they would do their best to admit them and correct them as quickly as possible.
&#8220;Nobody bats a thousand,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I am under such an extreme spotlight, so much scrutiny, that it&#8217;s literally impossible for me to get away with anything nefarious — and obviously, nor do I wish to!&#8221;
He also took questions from co-host Greg Gutfeld, who asked when Musk would be willing to join his eponymous late night show — an invitation Musk said that he would be happy to accept. Gutfeld also asked Musk what advice he might give to young people who were struggling with fear of failure on how to be less &#8220;risk-averse.&#8221;

ABC News attempted to stir the pot with a Tuesday piece talking about the anxiety being caused in immigrant communities — even where the immigrants were in the United States legally — but Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said he could see what they were really up to.
Teasing the article inane X post, ABC News wrote, &#8220;President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration policies already are affecting schools across the country, as officials find themselves responding to rising anxiety among parents and their children, including those who are here legally.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The article dug into recent immigration raids, enacted by President Donald Trump&#8217;s Department of Homeland Security, and claimed that they were disrupting education in communities where immigrants lived in a number of ways.
In some places, the piece alleged, false alarms had caused panic among immigrant families. In others, real raids had resulted in fearful families keeping their children out of school. &#8220;And in Alice, Texas, a school official incorrectly told parents that Border Patrol agents might board school buses to check immigration papers,&#8221; the piece continued.
Instead of simply going about their daily lives, the article claimed, immigrant families have been struggling with the fear and anxiety that comes with &#8220;separating facts from rumor&#8221; over the raids.
The ABC News piece failed to mention that Border Czar Tom Homan has been very clear about his preference to work directly with law enforcement to first target those who had broken laws in addition to entering the United States illegally — and the raids were primarily the result of sanctuary cities and states refusing to cooperate.
Gutfeld wasn&#8217;t buying it, and he called out ABC News over the framing of the article: &#8220;step one: foment anxiety. step two: report on the anxiety. step three: pretend you didn&#8217;t cause the anxiety. step four: wonder why everyone hates the media,&#8221; he posted via X.

Immigration

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-gutfeld">Greg Gutfeld</a> labeled the media&#8217;s “lockstep anti-Trumpism” one of the “most destructive” movements of the last decade, making it clear that in his mind, “wokism” was not the only one.
In a rather lengthy piece he dropped Tuesday on <a href="https://x.com/greggutfeld/status/1874117618249957480">X</a>, the Fox News host wrote that when a person looks back at the “horrible decisions” made in the last ten years related to things like crime/illegal immigration chaos, COVID, and even the mental competence of President Joe Biden, they need not look further than how it was all “excused or denied” by the legacy media to justify their “irrational opposition” to President-elect Donald Trump.
“Crime. If you admitted that progressive policies energized criminality and cost many innocent lives &#8211; that would put you on the side of Trump,” Gutfeld wrote for one of his examples. “‘So, you can&#8217;t do that,’ decides the media, so theft and violence became routine. Recidivism exploded.”
“Immigration. If you admitted that unfettered illegal immigration stressed all our country&#8217;s systems, as well as introducing more violent crime — that would put you on the side of Trump,” he added. “‘You can&#8217;t do that,’ decides the media. So, it kept going, and people died.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
the most destructive movement of the last ten years wasn&#8217;t just wokism. it was the media&#8217;s lockstep anti-trumpism. think about all the horrible decisions related to the biggest calamities we faced. they were excused or denied by the media, because of their irrational opposition…
— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) <a href="https://twitter.com/greggutfeld/status/1874117618249957480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 31, 2024</a></blockquote>
“COVID. If you admitted that COVID came from China, likely a lab leak — then you were on the side of Trump,” Gutfeld continued. “‘So you [can&#8217;t] do that either — that would be racist,’ said the media. Instead, we embraced absurd notions about bat soup.”
Gutfeld pointed out that if a person reported on the idea that Biden “was unfit for office” that was just another example that “you were siding with Trump.”
He said those in the media decided that reports “must say that Joe is better than ever, and those who disagree are cruel,” which resulted in “a rudderless country sinking in chaos.”
“Looking back — it&#8217;s obvious. A mass delusion driven by bitterness, ego and an emotional infantilism brought this country to the brink,” the Fox News host said. “So when the media starts hitting the panic button, laugh at them. They caused this mess. We&#8217;ll clean it up. They no longer matter.”

&#8220;Gutfeld!&#8221; regular Tyrus — born George Murdoch — sat down with former President Donald Trump and took a moment as the interview began to apologize for not understanding before what made him tick.
The former pro-wrestler — who once held the title of National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Heavyweight Champion — told Trump that it wasn&#8217;t until the two appeared together on &#8220;Gutfeld!&#8221; that it truly clicked.

&#8220;I actually owe you an apology before we start,&#8221; Tyrus began as he sat down across from the former president for his Maintaining with Tyrus podcast. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been very critical about you, how you fight.&#8221;
&#8220;All through the campaigns — I voted for you because I like policy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know you as a man. And I think when you don&#8217;t understand what a man fights for, you can get lost — especially with all the noise we&#8217;re seeing from fake news, etc., that created these pictures of you.&#8221;
Tyrus then painted a picture of the moments after &#8220;Gutfeld!&#8221; had wrapped the night they both appeared on the show together.
&#8220;So, &#8216;Gutfeld!&#8217; show is over. Cameras are off.

But it wasn&#8217;t just the fact that Trump took the time to talk to his daughter, Tyrus said, noting that just how attentive he had been was something else entirely.
&#8220;If nobody knew, you could have been her grandfather,&#8221; Tyrus exclaimed, adding, &#8220;You were talking about her horses and dreams. And I was sitting there and I was like &#8216;I have been so wrong about this man&#8217; because I never understood why you fight the way you fight. You&#8217;re a family man.&#8221;
&#8220;I am,&#8221; Trump agreed.
&#8220;You&#8217;re a father,&#8221; Tyrus said.
&#8220;And your daughter is a gorgeous — and your wife, the whole thing, you have got some set-up, I&#8217;ll tell you,&#8221; Trump said, prompting a laugh from Tyrus. &#8220;But your family&#8217;s great and you&#8217;re great, and you&#8217;ve really done something. You&#8217;ve captured a certain spirit. You know, a friend of mine who&#8217;s very smart — he&#8217;s also a very big guy — he said because I&#8217;m big and strong, people think I&#8217;m not the smartest guy.&#8221;
That got an eye-roll from Tyrus, who added, &#8220;Oh, I know.&#8221;
&#8220;You are a really smart guy,&#8221; Trump said of Tyrus. &#8220;And I see it and I&#8217;ve watched it and I like the show, and we have the privilege of having the highest rating in the history of the show when I did it a couple of weeks ago, that was —&#8221;
&#8220;Of all time,&#8221; Tyrus corrected. &#8220;We beat network television.&#8221;
&#8220;You beat everybody,&#8221; Trump replied.
&#8220;And they were up 35 million homes,&#8221; Tyrus added. &#8220;It was a landslide.&#8221;

<h3>Joe Rogan</h3>
Podcast giant and comedian Joe Rogan said on his show that “Am I Racist?” is “one of the best comedies [he’s] seen in a long time.”
<h3>Megyn Kelly</h3>
“It takes all of the craziest DEI pushers — puts them together in one movie,” said political commentator Megyn Kelly, adding, “Matt Walsh, in his man bun, sits down with Robin DiAngelo. I died. Honestly, there were so many great moments in there.”
<h3>Greg Gutfeld</h3>
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld called “Am I Racist?” a “big hit,” praising Walsh for nabbing an interview with leftist author Robin DiAngelo.  
“Another classic scene from the movie was getting Robin DiAngelo to actually pay reparations one-to-one to your black director,” Gutfeld told Walsh. 
<h3>Tim Pool</h3>
Podcaster Tim Pool called Walsh’s documentary an “edgy, funny comedy” and “some of the most effective activism.”
“Daily Wire has actually hit the nail on the head with this stuff,” he said. 
<h3>Roseanne Barr</h3>
Comedian and actress Roseanne Barr told Walsh that he is “doing the right thing by making a funny movie.” 
“That’s really the way to reach people … by doing something funny,” Barr added. 
<h3>Charlie Kirk</h3>
Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk called “Am I Racist?” “infinitely brilliant” and “a phenomenal film.” 
<h3>The New Yorker</h3>
The New Yorker, a leftist magazine, also said Walsh’s film is “something a red-pilled Sacha Baron Cohen might make,” adding, “The biggest coup of ‘Am I Racist?’ is the interview that Walsh scores with Robin DiAngelo.” 
<h3>The Hollywood Reporter</h3>
Another leftist media outlet, The Hollywood Reporter, wrote that Walsh’s new film “seemingly came out of nowhere … the top opening for a political documentary since Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 two decades ago in 2004.”
“Am I Racist?” has also seen massive success at the box office and in the zeitgeist, quickly attaining a “Verified Hot” status on Rotten Tomatoes with a 97% audience score at more than 2500+ verified reviews, and an A CinemaScore.

On Wednesday night, Trump made a guest appearance on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-gutfeld" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Gutfeld</a> talk show alongside regulars like Kat Timpf and Tyrus, where it averaged 4.9 million total viewers, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/gutfeld-draws-largest-audience-program-history-trump-appearance">Fox News</a> reported.
In the coveted age demographic of 25-54, the same hour had 744,000 viewers, the outlet noted. It was the program’s largest audience in both the key demo and total viewers since its launch in 2021.
Trump’s appearance was not only the largest on “Gutfeld!,” but also the show’s total viewership was the biggest in all of cable and broadcast primetime, beating out ABC’s &#8220;The Golden Bachelorette” and CBS’ &#8220;Survivor.”

During the hour-long program, Trump reflected on both assassination attempts against him &#8212; the one in Butler, Pennsylvania, at his rally in July where he was shot in the ear, leaving one supporter dead and two others injured, as well as on Sunday, when a 58-year-old man hid out for 12 hours near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, allegedly to take a shot at him.

I always said golf is a very dangerous game.”
“Especially if they’re playing with you,” Gutfeld quipped.
“Yeah, it’s true,” Trump said. “It’s pretty sad.”
“If they had told you that the shooter was there, would you have tried to take him out with your 3 wood?” Gutfeld later asked Trump.
“I think so,” Trump responded. “If I knew. Actually, the Secret Service did a great job. They saw the barrel of a gun &#8212; big gun &#8212; and it came out through bushes. And how many people would see that? He really was exceptional to have done it.”
During Trump’s appearance, the president also reacted to clips of celebrities slamming him in a segment titled, “Celebs can’t quit Donald Trump.” In one clip, Gutfeld played radio shock jock Howard Stern, who made news this week when he said that he didn’t hate Trump, just those who vote for the former president.
Trump then replied, “Well I watch and know most of them,” noting his long history of being on Stern’s show for a big part of the radio host’s career. “He [Stern] was great at that time, then he went woke.”
The former president’s appearance was his first on broadcast or cable late-night during an election cycle since 2016 when he was on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the outlet noted.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> reacted to celebrities like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-clooney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Clooney</a> and Howard Stern who seem to love to hate him and have made clear they won’t be voting for him against Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Wednesday, during Trump’s appearance on Fox News&#8217; “<a href="https://x.com/C_N_F__on__X/status/1836783605827228128">Gutfeld</a>” show, host Greg Gutfeld introduced a segment called “Celebs can’t quit Donald Trump.&#8221; It included clips from “Jimmy Kimmel Live” when Clooney admitted he thought that Trump might use the “power of the government” against him, but was “comforted in the fact that” Trump’s coming after Kimmel first.
Kimmel also read a post from <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4765706-donald-trump-george-clooney-joe-biden-withdraw-reelection-bid-2024/">Trump</a> in July in which he told Clooney to “get out of politics” and “go back to television.” On the show Tuesday, Clooney replied, “I will if he does.” Trump’s original post came after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/george-clooney-joins-chorus-of-stars-telling-biden-its-time-to-drop-out-of-race">63-year-old actor</a> took out an op-ed calling on President Joe Biden to drop out of the race following Biden’s disastrous presidential debate against Trump.
In a second clip, Gutfeld played radio shock jock Howard Stern, who made news this week when he said that he didn’t hate Trump, just those who vote for the former president.

“This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don’t, you are bad … I’ve been the victim of this,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/howard-stern-says-he-doesnt-hate-trump-but-the-people-who-vote-for-him">Stern told his audience</a>. “I don’t agree with Trump politically, I don’t think he should be anywhere near the White House.”
“I don’t hate the guy,” he added. &#8220;I hate the people who vote for him. I think they are stupid. I do. I have no respect for you.”
A third clip showed Kimmel interviewing rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs in August 2018 in which Combs said he wouldn’t make a “good president” because he wouldn’t “pass” any of the things you need to, before taking a dig at Trump, claiming, “but I guess Trump didn’t.”

Gutfeld noted the last clip “didn’t age well&#8221; for Kimmel or Combs, the latter of whom is currently in the news after being denied bail for a second time after being arraigned on racketeering and sex trafficking charges with the release of a New York grand jury indictment.
The host then asked Trump about the hatred he faces from celebs and shared that his theory is that stars like Clooney and Stern feel that way because the former president “puts their fame into the proper perspective when it’s dwarfed by somebody with more fame.&#8221;
“Well I watch and know most of them,” Trump said, noting his long history of being on Stern’s show for a big part of the radio host’s career. “He [Stern] was great at that time, then he went woke.”
“And since he’s gone woke, his ratings have gone down the tube,” he added. “And he sort of went anti-Trump for a couple of reasons … but he’s changed and he doesn’t do the ratings anymore.”

Former President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he &#8220;wanted to be elegant&#8221; during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris last week, but he now regrets not &#8220;going after&#8221; ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.
Trump appeared on Fox News&#8217;s late-night show &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-says-regrets-not-going-after-abc-moderators-during-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gutfeld!</a>&#8221; where he was asked about the legacy media&#8217;s bias against him. The Republican nominee pointed to the ABC debate and the moderators&#8217; numerous fact-checks against him as an example of the media treating him unfairly.
&#8220;I walked off that stage and thought I had the best debate, and I was very unfairly treated by the anchor. I&#8217;m not fans of those guys anymore, and you know, his hair was better five years ago,&#8221; Trump said referring to Muir.
Trump mentioned being fact-checked by Muir on rising crime rates, saying, &#8220;It turned out to be a false attack.&#8221; Muir cited FBI crime statistics to push back on Trump&#8217;s statement that crime rates across the country are rising. A DOJ report <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/13/us-news/violent-crime-has-increased-doj-report-says-after-david-muir-disputed-trumps-claim-that-crime-is-through-the-roof/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> just days after the debate, however, supported Trump&#8217;s claims, revealing that violent crime has spiked under the Biden-Harris administration.
Trump added that the moderators said nothing when Harris repeated the Left-wing lie about Trump&#8217;s Charlottesville comments.
&#8220;They didn&#8217;t correct her once, and they corrected me [on] everything I said practically — I think nine times or 11 times,&#8221; Trump said.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Conservatives blasted the ABC News moderators during and after the debate, arguing that the fact-checks on Trump and none on Harris put the former president in an impossible-to-win fight.
The former president argued that in the days following the debate, more people realized that it &#8220;was all word salad&#8221; from Harris, adding that no matter how well he debated, the legacy media would claim that Trump &#8220;was nothing special.&#8221;
&#8220;I had people telling me that I&#8217;m wrong about things when I&#8217;m totally right. I was right about just about all of that stuff, and they were correcting me,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I think my only regret is that I wanted to be elegant, and I didn&#8217;t want to go after the anchors. I wish I did, in a way.&#8221;

Former President Donald Trump told Fox News host Greg Gutfeld that he’s only ever personally spoken with Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) — the Democratic Party’s vice presidential candidate — one time.
Trump explained during a Wednesday night appearance on “Gutfeld!” that Walz had called him during the George Floyd riots in 2020, asking for help when he found his home surrounded by protesters.

President Trump says that the only time he has ever spoken to Timothy Walz was when he became scared when a group of protesters with American flags surrounded the Minnesota Governor&#39;s mansion and asked President Trump to save him.😂 <a href="https://t.co/cWHHVgDbBe">pic.twitter.com/cWHHVgDbBe</a>

“Walz is a strange dude,” Gutfeld remarked, and when Trump agreed, Gutfeld continued, “Him and I are the same age. How does he look so much younger?”
“He’s a strange guy,” Trump repeated. “You know, he called up years ago, I was in the White House, and he said, ‘My house is being surrounded by people with American flags.’ I said, ‘Is that a good thing or a bad thing?’”

”He said, ‘I think they’re going to attack me,’” Trump continued. “This was during the riots and everything else. They were MAGA people, you know, they like the American flag, all right. And they also like Trump — I said, ‘How do you know?’ … he said, ‘Could you put out a word, like that I&#8217;m your friend?’”
”I don’t even know him,” Trump said then, admitting that he had posted something nice about Walz then anyway just because he didn’t want to see anything bad happen to him.
“And if you look back long ago …” Trump said he had tweeted something about Walz being a good guy. “‘He’s a good man, the governor, he’s on our side,’ I don’t know him but I didn’t want him to get hurt. And everybody put down their flags and they left, and he said it was a miracle. I didn’t want him to get hurt.”
“Scared by the American flag,” Gutfeld joked.
Trump added that he had told Walz they weren’t going to be violent if they were carrying the American flag but that the governor had been nervous anyway.

A conversation between Fox News anchors Bret Baier, Martha MacCallum, and former President Donald Trump was abruptly cut off on Thursday night as the network cut to the beginning of Greg Gutfeld&#8217;s late-night show — so the former president called Gutfeld&#8217;s cell phone.
Trump was giving his response to Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; Democratic National Convention speech when Baier and MacCallum told him they had to move the programming over to &#8220;Gutfeld!&#8221;.
&#8220;That wasn&#8217;t my fault, Donald Trump. He&#8217;s still talking by the way,&#8221; Gutfeld joked at the beginning of his show.
Moments later, Trump called the late-night Fox News host.
“Mr. President, I’m live now, say hello to my audience. So don’t say anything that will get you in trouble!” Gutfeld said to the cheers of the live audience.
&#8220;At this point, what difference does it make?&#8221; Trump replied. &#8220;We’re doing well; we’re leading in the polls.&#8221;

The Republican nominee spoke for a few more seconds, commenting on the Democrats&#8217; nomination of Harris and saying President Joe Biden was forced out of the race in a &#8220;coup.&#8221;
&#8220;Alright, Mr. P, I got to go!&#8221; Gutfeld said before ending the call and returning to his show&#8217;s scheduled programming.

The nearly 40-minute-long <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/us/politics/kamala-harris-speech-transcript.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speech</a> focused on hammering Trump as the vice president mentioned his name a total of 16 times.
&#8220;Fellow Americans, this election is not only the most important of our lives, it is one of the most important in the life of our nation.

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/greg-gutfeld-kamala-harris-egregious-dangerous-political-cover-up-american-history">Greg Gutfeld</a> destroyed Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>’ record and said the focus on the presumed Democratic presidential candidate should be that “she lied to the American people, aiding the most egregious and dangerous political cover-up in American history.”
During the Fox News host’s “Gutfeld” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/greg-gutfeld-kamala-harris-egregious-dangerous-political-cover-up-american-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a> on Wednesday, Gutfeld predicted that the legacy media will attempt to paint Harris versus former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> as just a “Left versus right, Democrat versus Republican,” thing now that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> has dropped out of the race. He said, “in reality, it&#8217;s the media narrative machine versus reality” and “that machine is now fully operational.”
“So now, what you&#8217;ll get is the propagandist image of a competent, inspiring executive, which is meant to cover up the harsh truth of a deceiving incompetent,” Gutfeld told his audience. “The strategy is simple; fill the shelf space with lies so there&#8217;s no room for anything else.”
“Quick, name something Harris has accomplished in the last four years besides building a fort out of empty cartons of boxed wine,” he added. “You can&#8217;t. No one can. But the Dems don&#8217;t care. The machine simply slotted her in where Joe once was…But to fulfill their goals, there&#8217;s no way for them to stay in the realm of reality.”

“It&#8217;s exactly what they did with Biden,” Gutfeld continued. “Try to keep you in the &#8216;he&#8217;s sharp as a tack&#8217; world and not in the &#8216;he&#8217;s a basket case&#8217; world, which, as you know, was a lie Harris herself took part in for almost four years.”
The Fox news host said the fact that Harris helped hide Biden’s failing health “should be the focus, not the linguistic linguine.”
“It&#8217;s that she lied to the American people, aiding the most egregious and dangerous political cover-up in American history,” Gutfeld said. “Then, when the time was right, she took his spot and his money.”

“Now, I do believe the modern media consumer is savvy enough to see this. Certainly you won&#8217;t fall for it,” he added. “We&#8217;ve been burned by this stove many times before, the stove being the hoax-inducing media…So remember who burned you last time as you experience the most orchestrated hoax yet.”
The Fox News host concluded his monologue by pointing out, “this time, it&#8217;s not just about competing ideologies. This time, it&#8217;s you versus the machine, image versus reality, mostly peaceful versus a burned down city, serious prosecutor versus bailing out felons, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-ripped-for-resurfaced-claims-praising-biden-amid-age-concerns-complicit-in-coverup">Joe Biden is very sharp</a> versus we beat Medicare, cheap fakes versus real dementia.”
“You need to see this the way you saw Biden,” he added. “And remember that the same people who will shout in unison that they&#8217;ve never seen anyone as competent, compelling and inspiring as Kamala Harris are the same ones who told you that a demented old man deserves to be the most powerful person on earth. Otherwise, the joke will be on us. And while she may be laughing, trust me, we won&#8217;t.”
