Bret Bair Decimates Dan Goldman's Defense of Kamala Harris - the Look on His Face Is Priceless

I have to hand it to former President Donald Trump. He certainly is fearless when it comes to going anywhere to get his message out there. He's shown he'll go into hostile media territory; he's shown he'll go into deep blue areas to reach out to Americans. He did a press conference last week where he took all kinds of questions. He did an X Spaces conversation with X CEO Elon Musk on Monday night. The Spaces tweet had millions of impressions, and they had over a million people in the Spaces event — that's even with X suffering a DDOS attack over the interview. But the point is Trump is willing to put himself out there. 

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is not. She has been ducking normal questions and won't even do friendly interviews. And she's refused to accept debate dates that Trump has agreed to, while falsely trying to accuse him of ducking them.

One of the Democrats pimping for her, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), tried this disingenuous tactic on Fox Monday evening. But he got shut down hard by Bret Baier.

 

 Goldman claimed that he understood why Trump didn't want to debate, despite the facts. But Baier wasn't letting that go — check Goldman's face as Baier does him in. 

“He [Trump] accepted three. He's said yes to September 4, September 10, September 17,” Baier corrected him, blowing up Goldman's point and saying that it wasn't true that he didn't want to debate. 

Goldman said, "No, no, no, he had agreed to Sept. 10..." 

Then Baier cut him off, "With Biden, who got pushed out." Boom, yes, because Democrats were afraid he was going to lose, so to heck with democracy and the 14 million plus who voted for him in the primaries. Because Trump beat Biden so badly, the Democrats not only pulled him out of that second debate, they pulled him out of the whole race. So much for their claims of caring about "democracy" or our norms. But it's incredibly hypocritical to now accuse Trump of being afraid to debate when they were afraid even to have Biden be in the race anymore. 

Goldman said, "What's the difference?" Maybe people care about reality and anti-democratic actions — and the agreement wasn't with her. Also, he may not realize what he actually said there, equating her to Biden.

But as Baier pointed out, in any event, Trump agreed to the debate in a non-friendly environment. Meanwhile Kamala Harris hasn't agreed to the other debates. It's Kamala who is ducking debate dates, not Trump. It's Kamala who wouldn't dare do the kind of press conference that Trump did. 

The look on Goldman's face was priceless. He seemed taken aback when his gaslighting was cut short by reality. It almost sounded like he had old talking points and hadn't updated them. Either way, he looked pretty darn foolish, either truly ignorant or lying his head off. But at this point, Democrats don't seem to care about the truth. They're just saying anything they can to try to help Harris, regardless of whether it's true or not. 

 

Here's the Unhinged Email Sent by the Harris Campaign Attacking Elon Musk's Trump Interview

Elon Musk interviewed Donald Trump for almost two hours last night. It was on X, and it got off to a rocky start. While this event was great, this platform can’t handle the volume. Musk said the means test for 8 million people—tens of millions will tune in, guys. Regardless, Trump attacked Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s record, voiced concerns about the country's future, and outlined the many socio-economic issues plaguing the country.

ELON: "My track record historically has been moderate. If not moderate, slightly left...this is to people out there who are in the moderate camp...I think you should support Donald Trump for president!"

TRUMP: "Thank you, and, you know, I actually always did think of you as… pic.twitter.com/Z8F3wa2QdC

Yet, from a media standpoint, you’d think this was an address made at a Klan rally. The liberal media is terrified of people voicing their opinions on a platform designed to encourage free speech. My only gripe with the platform is that they banned me, but let’s get back to the issue here: the media is worried about misinformation, which you already know is liberal-speak for views we don’t like. The reaction to this interview is like what we’re seeing across the Atlantic, where the government is now regulating speech on the Internet, even throwing people in jail. In America, you can believe in things that are incorrect, even nutty. Democrats should support this—all of their ideas and their supporters are certifiably insane:

After Musk’s event, the Harris campaign sent an unhinged fundraising email accusing the Tesla founder and the former president, claiming that the platform is being used to spread Trump’s hateful agenda. Oh, and they need $25 if you can spare it: 

It's also embarrassing; Elon invited Kamala to do the same interview on the platform. She refused. I wonder why? Is it because she's not ready for primetime and will be exposed as a horrible candidate? Probably. 

The Democrat media complex melted down because they couldn’t control the narrative. In other words, freedom of speech prohibited them from lying about what Trump said. They couldn’t muzzle a discussion they didn’t like—deal with it. That’s the First Amendment. Half the country thinks what you report is trash anyway, and yet here we are, not wanting you to be regulated or thrown into the gulag.

Here Are the Three Words Walz Said That Set Off Days of Mayhem in Minneapolis

 Give It Up

An emerging attack line against the Harris-Walz ticket should be the duo’s contempt for law and order. Harris allowed the southern border to become awash with violent criminal aliens who are now raping, murdering, and burglarizing their way through the country. The stories of illegal aliens with ICE detainers roaming free and brutalizing our citizens are many. It doesn’t help that Tim Walz reportedly wanted Minneapolis to burn in the aftermath of the George Floyd fiasco.

When the rioting became hellacious, Walz dragged his feet in deploying the National Guard. As Rebecca noted, the city's mayor wanted the unit to be stationed within the city as soon as possible to restore order. Walz decided against it, denigrating these service men as being nothing more than teenage cooks: 

It's been almost a week since Vice President Kamala Harris selected Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, and the pick has come with plenty of baggage for the ticket. When Minneapolis was burning during the 2020 riots after George Floyd's death, Walz held off on calling in the National Guard in a timely manner. That's looking even worse, given the comments that have resurfaced on what Walz had to say about guardsmen, as highlighted by streiff at our sister site of RedState. 

"I don’t think the mayor knew what he was asking for. He wanted the National Guard, and what does that mean? I think to the mayor, yes, it's a perception, I'm certainly not questioning that," Walz said during a local Fox 9 interview, despite how he didn't act in a timely manner. "I think the mayor said, 'I request the National Guard, whew, this is great. We’re going to have massively trained troops.' No, you’re going to have 19-year-olds who are cooks," the governor continued. 

And let’s not forget the three Minneapolis police officers who testified that the Minnesota governor essentially allowed leftists to burn the MPD Third Precinct.

"I heard the Governor say, 'give it up,’” said Minneapolis Police Sergeant Anna Hedberg:

Those three words set off nearly two weeks of chaos, rioting, and vandalism. 

It’s outrageous, compounded by Walz’s weirdo wife saying she opened the windows to huff the burning city's fumes. This couple makes Hunter Biden’s crack cocaine use seem normal. The issue with using this story is that Mr. Trump credited Walz with how he was handling the riots. It’s on audio, and we’ll have more later today.

Virginia: Trump Campaign Office Burglarized, Suspect On The Run

Crooked Democrats have already started their Stealing of Another Election.

Authorities are now investigating a break-in at a Donald Trump Campaign office in Virginia, as a suspect is still on the run. 

On Sunday, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office was alerted of a break-in at 9:00 p.m. at the office, which is located in the 20000 block of Ashbrook Place. 

The office also serves as the headquarters for Virginia’s 10^th District Republican Committee.

An investigation is now underway as the burglar took off before authorities could arrive at the scene. 

Surveillance cameras captured footage of the suspect, who is described as a “White man dressed in dark clothing, wearing a dark cap, and carrying a backpack” when he entered the building.

“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” said Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.”

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office assured that investigators would provide more details “as early as tomorrow” after they identify the person and that additional intelligence units were “there now investigating whether anything was taken or left and the motivation.”

Anyone with information regarding the suspect, the burglary, or any related activity is asked to contact detectives.

California Sheriff 'Really Upset' That Kamala Harris Featured Him In New Campaign Ad

A California Sheriff says he’s “really upset” by Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign ad, which he says featured him without his permission.

“In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office,” said Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux in a statement sent to Fox News Digital.

Boudreaux has spent 37 years in the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office and he is currently the president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association.

The video footage used in the political ad was taken in 2013 in California’s Central Valley, when Harris was the California attorney general.

The new ad falsely paints Harris as a border hawk, claiming, “as Vice President, she backed the toughest border control bill in decades.”

Although the ad claims Harris was tough on the border, the “Border Czar” allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the country, according to the House Budget Committee.

Boudreaux recalled the day when Harris visited in 2013, calling the appearance “smoke and mirrors.”

“We were in the green room. She never came in and said hello to any of us. She walked up front, gave her presser, literally walked out, never said hi to any of us,” said Boudreaux. “I’m disgusted because, you know, she didn’t shake hands. She didn’t say hello. And she’s taken credit for all this work that the locals did.”

Mike Boudreaux also wrote a statement regarding the Harris ad for Golden State Justice, Boudreaux’s political action committee.

“As Attorney General, Kamala Harris undercut efforts by California law enforcement officials to stop criminals from flooding our state with guns and drugs across the border,” Boudreaux wrote.

“She repeatedly defunded and shuttered task forces designed to protect our residents, leaving the Valley and our state vulnerable,” he continued. “Kamala’s sad attempt to paint herself as tough on the border by implying my support – and the support of neighboring law enforcement leaders – is pathetic.”

Rep. Bryan Steil to Newsmax: Probe ActBlue for 'Potential Money-Laundering Scheme'

 

Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis.,

has urged the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to enact emergency rule making in order to ensure compliance with campaign finance laws and prevent fraud.

ActBlue, the major Democratic Party fundraising platform, has inadequate financial controls that might facilitate a money laundering scheme, Steil told Newsmax's "Gorka Reality Check" on Sunday

"ActBlue does not have the financial controls in place that they absolutely need to have," Steil, chair of the Committee on House Administration.

Notably, ActBlue does not require the CVV number on the back of credit cards, and the use of anonymous gift cards can easily lead to campaign donation fraud, according to Steil.

The misuse of such anonymous gift cards can be so difficult to catch, Steil has "called upon the FEC to put forward emergency rule making to ban the use of anonymous gift cards and to require the CVV numbers in all donations."

Even though Steil said there is no chance President Joe Biden will sign such legislation to prevent campaign donation fraud before the November elections, the "next likely scenario is can we get the FEC to act by building up the national support for this" move.

"I'm engaged in a full investigation of both ActBlue and the FEC and of all activates that are in line with this potential money-laundering scheme," Steil concluded.

Pelosi Dons Tinfoil Hat, Suggests Biden Didn't Write That July Letter Claiming He Was Staying in Race

I don’t know what Joe Biden did to get on the bad side of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), but she has been continually throwing him under the bus since his disastrous June debate performance, and many think she was the chief architect of the “coup" that forced him out of the race.

Maybe it's as simple as the fact that she no longer needed him anymore once he proved he might harm Dems' chances in down-ballot races?

She was at it again Friday, appearing on New York Times columnist Ezra Klein’s podcast to throw out the conspiracy theory that Biden didn’t actually write the infamous letter in July claiming he had no intention of quitting his campaign despite the immense pressure for him to do so. Less than two weeks later, he did exactly that.

Pelosi seemed to be talking as much with her eyes as she was with her words, as she knowingly gesticulated with her hands in a sort of “wink, wink, know what I mean?” manner.

Watch:

“I didn't accept the letter as anything but a letter,” she said. 

What does that even mean? What else would you accept it as? Then she added, “I mean…” and went into the mugging act that I referred to, trying to say with her face that something mysterious had occurred. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

Then she got weird, first saying that some people were unhappy with the letter but then revising it to say some people said that some people were unhappy with the letter. Can a person get more weaselly?

I mean, there were are some people who were unhappy with the letter. Um, let me say that some said that some people were unhappy with the letter. I’ll put in somebody else’s mouth.

Don’t turn your back when she's in the room:

Biden Finally Speaks Out on Demise of Reelection Campaign, Mentions Pelosi's Role

WATCH: Pelosi's Creepy, Slimy Response When Asked About Leading Plot to Shove Out Biden

---

It was only two days after that letter that Pelosi hammered what many think was the final nail in his campaign, refusing to acknowledge that he had just said he was still running and saying, “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short.” He just said he was staying in the campaign.

This was yet another weird performance by an always-weird woman. It boggles my mind that she appears to be one of the most powerful people in Washington, as evidenced by her toppling of the president of the United States. She’s frankly downright creepy—did you see the glee she took while accusing the president of fraud?

She may very well be right, though; it’s hard to imagine Ole Joe having the wherewithal to pen that missive. But as Trump advisor Stephen Miller pointed out in the tweet above, then who the heck is running the country?

Pelosi just made an extremely good argument for the 25^th Amendment. With the devious octogenarian Californian, it’s hard to know what she's after here—but I certainly wouldn’t put it past her.
