Trump vows to eliminate taxes on overtime — a potential winner among some of 'the hardest-working citizens'



President Donald Trump vowed at his rally in Tuscon, Arizona, Thursday that he would eliminate all taxes on overtime pay — an unprecedented proposal from the federal government. This is part of a broader raft of proposed tax cuts, one of which is apparently so popular as to drive Kamala Harris to adopt it as her own.

"We will end all taxes on overtime," said Trump. "You know what that means? Think about it."

Trump suggested not only that Americans would have a greater incentive to work more if they knew the government wasn't skimming off the top but that businesses would have a easier time with recruitment and retention.

'It's time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break.'

"The people who work overtime are among the hardest-working citizens in our country. And for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them," continued Trump. "They're police officers, nurses, factory workers, construction workers, truck drivers, and machine operators. It's time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break."

The Labor Department under Trump issued a rule in 2019 making overtime pay available to an additional 1.3 million workers. It did so by raising the salary level that companies would have to pay in order to avoid paying workers at least 1.5 times their regular pay rate for work in excess of 40 hours a week.

Even though millions of Americans benefited, supposed labor activists, Democrats, and the liberal media criticized Trump's salary-level increase, suggesting it was not as generous as one of President Barack Obama's failed schemes.

Piggybacking on the success of Trump's rule, the Biden administration announced a final rule in April further increasing the salary threshold required to exempt workers from federal overtime pay requirements — from $36,568 to $43,888 by July 1, 2024, and to $58,656 by Jan. 1, 2025.

As a result of the 2019 and 2024 threshold increases, a great many Americans would be able to avoid forking over their hard-won overtime earnings to the government under Trump's proposed tax policy.

Reuters noted that while this proposal is a first from the federal government, Alabama paved the way this year, becoming the first state in the union to exclude overtime wages for hourly workers from state taxes. The move is, however, temporary.

According to the Tax Foundation, which has been tracking proposed tax policies on the campaign trail, Trump has said he would also:

  • exempt tips from income taxes;
  • lower the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 20% and lower the corporate income tax rate to 15% for companies that make their products in the United States;
  • make permanent his 2017 individual income tax cuts, which are now nearing expiration;
  • consider swapping out personal income taxes for increased tariffs on imports;
  • exempt Social Security benefits from income tax; and
  • impose a 60% tariff on imports from China.

It appears the Harris campaign did not take Trump's announcement well.

A Harris campaign spokesman said, "He is desperate and scrambling and saying whatever it takes to try to trick people into voting for him."

It is unclear whether Harris, who was recently exposed copying and pasting policies from her former running mate, will also claim this proposal for her own.

Montana files multistate lawsuit against Biden admin over 'Bidenbucks' scheme



Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden-Harris administration Tuesday in concert with his fellow Republican attorneys general in Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska, in hopes of neutralizing President Joe Biden's Executive Order 14019.

Citing multiple harms traceable to the implementation of Biden's get-out-the-vote operation — including procedural harms and harms to states' sovereign interests — the plaintiffs asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to declare EO 14019 and its implementation "unlawful and unconstitutional."

The red-state lawsuit, which comes on the heels of a Blaze News report highlighting the few efforts by various Republican officials across the country to kneecap the alleged "election interference" scheme, also requests that the court vacate and enjoin all agency actions implementing the order.

Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation's government watchdog Oversight Project, recently told Blaze News that "a ton of damage has been done already, but it's not too late to at least mitigate this constitutional disaster where the incumbent administration is using their power and our money to ensure their own re-election."

"We're at the stage now where more states should be stepping up and taking overt action instead of just asking questions and complaining," added Howell.

Biden's March 2021 EO, often referred to by Howell and other critics as "Bidenbucks," effectively compels federal agencies — such as the Departments of Treasury, of Labor, of Interior, and of Veterans Affairs — to mobilize and register elements of historically Democratic voting blocs along with potentially ineligible voters.

According to the leftist think tank whose recommendations ostensibly inspired the order, the implementation of the order could result in "approximately 3 million new or updated voter registrations per year." That could help hand the election over to the Democrats in what is shaping up to be a tight race.

Knudsen's complaint accuses Biden of seeking to "convert the federal bureaucracy into a voter registration organization and to turn every interaction between a federal bureaucrat and a member of the public into a voter registration pitch."

'I will not stand by while the Biden-Harris administration attempts to shamelessly garner votes by employing its own agencies to register voters.'

This conversion alone is troubling given that the administrative state overwhelmingly leans left and has evidenced its antipathy to Trump in recent years.

For instance, in the 2016 election, The Hill reported that 95% of all campaign donations from 14 government agencies went to Clinton. In 2020, the majority of federal employees again donated to the Democratic candidate.

It is unlikely that President Donald Trump has endeared himself to the federal bureaucracy in the years since. After all, he has entertained the possibility of once again making it easier to remove insubordinate and poorly performing federal employees.

The lawsuit further claims that Biden's secretive transmogrification of the partisan federal bureaucracy into a voter registration organization "exceeds any authority executive entities have under federal law, violates the Constitution, threatens States' attempt to regulate voter registration, and thus ultimately undermines the voter registration systems set up by the states."

"Fair elections are an essential part of our country's republic. Congress gave the states the power to oversee elections years ago," Attorney General Austin Knudsen told Blaze News in a statement.

"I will not stand by while the Biden-Harris administration attempts to shamelessly garner votes by employing its own agencies to register voters and disregard states' own voter registration systems, putting the integrity of our elections at risk," added the Montana AG.

When asked what Montana will do in the event this lawsuit ultimately proves unsuccessful, a spokeswoman for Knudsen told Blaze News, "It's too early to tell what further action we might take, but Attorney General Knudsen will not stand by while the president and his agencies overstep their authority and would fight federal overreach no matter the administration. It is his job to protect the rights of Montanans."

Other red-state coalitions have taken legal action in recent months in hopes of axing the order and protecting the rights of their respective residents.

For instance, Secretaries of State Jay Ashcroft of Missouri and John Thurston of Arkansas filed a lawsuit late last month accusing Biden of unlawfully seeking "to use federal government resources to aid Democrat campaigns by enlisting the immense federal bureaucracy in a get-out-the-vote and ballot harvesting campaign."

West Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and Wyoming filed an amici curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on May 28 "asking the Court to rule that Executive Order No. 14019 is unconstitutional and violates the authority granted to the states to administer elections by the United States Constitution."

Tucker Carlson explains precisely why JD Vance was the right VP pick



President Donald Trump named Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) Monday as his running mate, emphasizing that as "Vice President, J.D. will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

Vance noted in response, "What an honor it is to run alongside President Donald J. Trump. He delivered peace and prosperity once, and with your help, he'll do it again. Onward to victory!"

Tucker Carlson, who joined Trump and Vance at the Republican National Convention following the announcement, made clear earlier in the day precisely why Vance was the right pick.

Addressing a crowd Monday at the Heritage Foundation's Policy Fest, Carlson prefaced with a condemnation of the political class and the type of people he regards as its predominant constituents.

"I spent the whole day dealing with politics — this day, starting at 5 a.m. — and I ... forgot how repulsive a process it is, and how feline and ruthless the players are. It was a reminder why I don't like politicians," said Carlson, who later suggested that "deception is at the core, actually, of who they are."

'Every bad person I've ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance.'

Carlson suggested that whereas those he regularly speaks to on both sides of the spectrum are invested in their causes and mean what they say, politicians alternatively tend to be opportunists who traffic in empty rhetoric in pursuit of power. According to Carlson, the efforts by various personalities to lock down one job in particular — that of Trump's running mate — helped illustrate this point.

"There's this job. One person makes the decision, and whoever gets the job immediately has a lot of power. And it really is like waving a flank steak over an alligator," said Carlson.

While disgusted by the process and some of the prospects vying for the steak in question, Carlson intimated that Vance stood apart from the others.

"Now JD Vance is the VP pick, and I think every person who pays close attention has gotta be thrilled by that," continued Carlson. "And if you don't know much about JD Vance, I'm not even going to make a case for JD Vance. I'm going to tell you what I just saw, which is that every bad person I've ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance."

While various deep-pocketed Republican donors were actively demeaning the Appalachian populist, Rupert Murdoch reportedly launched a massive lobbying campaign to dissuade Trump from picking Vance. A source in the Trump camp apparently told NOTUS that Murdoch had been calling Trump multiple times a day to instead choose North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for his running mate — the would-be VP pick Republican strategist Karl Rove also tried to boost over Vance.

Murdoch's personal campaign against Vance spread to two of his publications, namely the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, which both ran multiple editorials hammering Vance.

As the desperation grew and the choice neared, the campaign against Vance among establishmentarians became increasingly desperate and aggressive.

Blaze News previously reported that former Obama adviser and Democratic strategist David Axelrod said Vance should be disqualified for suggesting that Biden's inflammatory rhetoric set the stage for the attempted assassination on Trump.

Vance wrote shortly after Trump was nearly murdered by a would-be assassin, "The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination."

Axelrod wrote, "If @JDVance1 is on the short list for VP, this Tweet, sent an hour after the assassination attempt in PA, ought to disqualify him in the eyes of the Trump campaign. Wrong vibe in that moment."

"Trump probably doesn't want a shoot-from-the-hip VP," added Axelrod.

Adam Kinzinger, a former member of the House Jan. 6 committee, joined the Democratic strategist in suggesting Vance's remark was disqualifying.

Failed Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh responded to Vance on X, writing, "What a sick, disgusting tweet. Donald Trump IS an authoritarian fascist. The Biden campaign is correct to say that. And to connect the millions of Americans who believe that to this shooting is utterly irresponsible. You’ll make a perfect Trump VP. Shame on you."

Trump's decision to ignore such statements and to ultimately pick Vance enraged Bill Kristol and his fellow travelers.

"Having turned the Republican Party into the Trump Party, [Trump is] now turning a Trumpist party into a Trumpist movement. Indeed, the selection of Vance marks the completion of the transformation of a conservative political party into an authoritarian movement," wrote Kristol. "Vance has been more consistently and fervently America First in foreign policy than Trump. He's more committed to ethno-nationalism and anti-'elite' populism than Trump. He's been more committed to destroying any non-political civil service than Trump. He's more contemptuous of the norms, institutions, and mores of liberal democracy than Trump."

Republican strategist Karl Rove called the selection a "missed opportunity" in a Fox News op-ed.

Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney also melted down over Vance's selection, writing, "JD Vance has pledged he would do what Mike Pence wouldn't — overturn an election and illegally seize power. He says the president can ignore the rulings of our courts. He would capitulate to Russia and sacrifice the freedom of our allies in Ukraine. The Trump GOP is no longer the party of Lincoln, Reagan or the Constitution."

Carlson emphasized that the nature and disposition of Vance's detractors spoke volumes about the former Marine.

'They thought he would be harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people.'

"It's not like I think ... God's always on my side. Sometimes I'm not on God's side," said Carlson. "But I definitely know who's representing the other side."

"It's a lot easier to tell who the people who are only in it because they like, I don't know, killing other people in pointless wars," continued Carlson. "I know who those people are, and their odor is so powerful that I can smell one when he walks in the room. And every single one of those people, in a line that would extend from Milwaukee to Chicago, was lined up last week to knife JD Vance."

According to Carlson, this enmity toward Vance was not because of who he is as a person, noting he is a nice guy and one of the few in Washington with a happy marriage. Instead, the attacks were launched because "they thought he would be harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people. That's it — that he would be an impediment to their exercising power and, boy, they went after him in a way I've just kind of never seen."

Carlson went on to note that the attacks on Vance and the assassination attempt on Saturday have underscored for him that the battles underway are not simply political but spiritual.

Trump finally announces his VP pick



President Donald Trump named Sen. James David Vance (R-Ohio) Monday as his vice presidential pick.

Trump said in a statement Monday afternoon that after "lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio."

Vance is former Marine who was born in Middleton, Ohio; served with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing in the Iraq War; graduated from Yale Law School; served as a corporate lawyer; worked as a venture capitalist; penned the best-selling book "Hillbilly Elegy"; and then became a U.S. senator.

Vance was initially a fierce critic of Trump, telling NPR in 2016 that he couldn't stomach the then-Republican presidential candidate. While insisting in a 2016 New York Times op-ed that Trump was "unfit for our nation's highest office," Vance nevertheless understood the real estate magnate's appeal, noting:

To those humiliated by defeat, he promises we'll win again. To those discouraged by a government unable to care for the people it sent to war, he promises to take care of our veterans. To those voters furious at politicians who sent their children to fight and bleed and die in Iraq, he tells them what no major Republican politician in a decade has said — that the war was a terrible mistake imposed on the country by an incompetent president.

Having seen over time that Trump was not only willing but able to make good on many of his promises — including driving up wages, securing the border, and refraining from partaking in his predecessors' custom of starting at least one new war — Vance quickly came over to Trump's side.

Vance apologized to Trump on cable news in 2021, stating, "I ask folks not to judge me based on what I said in 2016 because I've been very open that I did say those critical things and I regret them, and I regret being wrong about the guy. I think that he was a good president. I think that he made a lot of good decisions for people, and I think he took a lot of flak."

Vance also came to understand that Trump's America First agenda was not devoted to the protection of America as an idea but rather to the prioritization of the concrete realities that make up America, specifically its citizens and physical homeland.

In his recent speech at the National Conservatism conference in Washington, D.C., Vance said, "I'm most optimistic about the future of this movement and the future of our country ... because for the first time in a very long time, it is clear that the leader of the Republican Party is not some donor who's desperate for cheap labor, and it's not some random person who claims to speak for this or that constituency. The leader of the Republican Party is a guy who actually plans to put American citizens first — and that is Donald Trump."

In an interview last week with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, Vance provided additional insights into his political conversion, noting, "Like a lot of other elite conservatives and elite liberals, I allowed myself to focus so much on the stylistic element of Trump that I completely ignored the way in which he substantively was offering something very different on foreign policy, on trade, on immigration."

Trump clearly did not hold a grudge about Vance's earlier comments and misgivings, having endorsed him when he ran for the U.S. Senate in Ohio.

'He will not let you down. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'

"Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not so great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades," Trump said in his endorsement statement. "He's strong on the Border, tough on Crime, understands how to use Taxes and Tariffs to hold China accountable, will fight to break up Big Tech, and has been a warrior on the Rigged and Stolen Presidential Election. J.D. is a Marine who served in the Iraq War, a graduate of The Ohio State University, and earned a Law Degree from Yale — a great student."

"He will put America first," added Trump. "J.D. Vance has my Complete and Total Endorsement. He will not let you down. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Concerning the recent efforts by the media to dig up Vance's old critiques of Trump, Donald Trump Jr. said to CNN, "We're 100% confident that JD is America First to the core."

"No one in the Senate has been a stronger supporter of my father," added Trump Jr.

Outside the Trump family, Vance has also secured the confidence of other big names on the populist right.

Tucker Carlson told Politico earlier this year, "I feel like I've got a really good sense of senators, and he's by far the smartest and the deepest of any I've ever met."

"He's the one public intellectual that we have who’s in office, and it's incredibly powerful," said Steve Bannon. "This movement has needed someone like J.D.."

While there may have been numerous reasons behind Trump's decision to pick Vance as his running mate — including Vance's staunch pro-worker populism and the fact he does not hail from the same state — the former president's contrarian reflex may have been a factor.

After all, leftists, liberals, and even some nominal Republicans have urged Trump not to pick Vance.

'Picking Vance would allow the Biden campaign to sell the message that this is truly a MAGA ticket that needs to be defeated.'

USA Today columnist Dace Potas suggested Saturday that Trump should choose "a more traditional" and "boring" candidate — certainly not Vance.

"A radical VP choice, such as 39-year-old Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, could shift some of the heat away from Biden and refocus media and voter attention back onto Trump's MAGA message and the extreme politics that come with it," warned Potas.

"First, Vance is off-putting to principled GOP voters. I know because I am one, but the stats agree," said the self-described Republican columnist. "Second, picking Vance would allow the Biden campaign to sell the message that this is truly a MAGA ticket that needs to be defeated. Sure, Democrats will try this tactic anyway, but a more unity-focused Republican ticket with a traditional conservative would make this angle look even more preposterous to the right-leaning swing voters that Trump needs to win."

Instead of Vance, Potas recommended former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley as the ideal running mate.

Former Obama adviser and Democratic strategist David Axelrod suggested Vance should be disqualified for suggesting that Biden's inflammatory rhetoric set the stage for the attempted assassination on Trump.

After the shooting at the Trump rally Saturday, Vance wrote, "The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination."

Axelrod wrote, "If @JDVance1 is on the short list for VP, this Tweet, sent an hour after the assassination attempt in PA, ought to disqualify him in the eyes of the Trump campaign. Wrong vibe in that moment."

"Trump probably doesn't want a shoot-from-the-hip VP," added Axelrod.

Trump evidently had no problems proving Axelrod wrong again or disappointing the likes of Potas.

Trump noted further in his announcement of Vance as his VP, "J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, 'Hillbilly Elegy,' became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond."

Glenn Beck RIPS Joe Biden for hypocritical response to SCOTUS ruling



President Biden might need to take a break from the podium.

After the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, the president gave a speech slamming the court’s ruling — which granted former president Donald Trump absolute immunity for presidential actions and presumptive immunity for “official actions.”

Biden claimed in his speech that the ruling allows Trump to do anything, including going after political opponents with the law.

“What I’ve been hearing, Glenn, over the past 24 hours, my understanding is the Supreme Court gave a James Bond license to kill to the president of the United States,” Stu Burguiere jokes to Glenn Beck.

And he’s not wrong — as that is what Biden alluded to.

“This nation was founded on the principle there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one is above the law,” Biden said, stumbling through his words. “Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits to what a president can do.”

“It’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law,” the president continued.

Glenn can’t believe what he’s hearing and points out the blatant hypocrisy.

“What they’re saying is he’s going to silence speech. Donald Trump will silence any dissent. And that’s not happening now,” Glenn says sarcastically.

“Let’s say you’re running against a guy who Donald Trump didn’t think he could beat, then he would just make up some charges and then get the guy arrested and then keep him, you know, in the court system, until you finally got him into jail. That’s what Trump could do,” he adds.

Biden was being a hypocrite regarding not only the attempted jailing of Trump but also the jailing of those who participated in the protests on January 6.

“If we’re really going to go all the way, what should be terrifying is that Donald Trump could just round up a whole group of people because he didn’t like them, you know what I mean?” Glenn says.

However, as the Supreme Court ruled, the president’s actions must be constitutional.

“If the president acts in an unconstitutional way, then you can get him. But unless it’s unconstitutional, he can’t do it. So it would be unconstitutional to round up the people that disagreed with you. It would be unconstitutional to silence those who oppose you. It would be unconstitutional to go after your opposing political foe and try to put them in jail,” Glenn continues.

“All things that Joe Biden is currently doing.”

Jill Biden makes matters worse, humiliating her husband on and off stage following his brutal debate performance



President Joe Biden crumbled in his debate Thursday with former President Donald Trump in Atlanta, prompting even his biggest boosters at allied news outlets to eulogize his campaign. While Biden's garbled answers, bouts of confusion, and departures from reality were damning enough for the 81-year-old Democrat, his wife found a way to make matters worse.

Footage captured by CNN shows former President Donald Trump confidently stride off the CNN debate hall stage following the ordeal. His opponent, however, would not exit unaided.

Jill Biden can be seen carefully taking the president's hand and slowly leading him down roughly three steps.

The juxtaposition of the brutal debate with Biden's subsequent need for direction and a crutch prompted some critics to speculate about the first lady's real role as well as her silence in the face of the president's unmistakable decrepitude.

'Shameful actions as a wife.'

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) responded to the video, "Who is the Commander in Chief?"

Conservative commentator Laura Ingraham noted, "She did this. Embarrassed him, his party and destroyed the country's border and economy by letting him run. Horrible."

Former ESPN host Sage Steele tweeted, "Shame on Jill Biden for allowing this to go on for so very long. Shameful actions as a wife. Shameful actions as a human being."

Some critics asked whether CNN had accidentally broadcast one of the so-called "cheap fakes" its talking heads previously joined the White House in concern-mongering about.

A video went viral earlier this month of Obama having to escort Biden off the stage at a fundraising event after the president locked up in front of an audience. "They are cheap-fakes video," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "They are done in bad faith."

Jill Biden did not promptly escort Biden back home Thursday, but rather to a watch party, where she would humiliate him again, this time in front of a crowd of supporters.

Joe Biden spent over a week at Camp David preparing for the debate. With the help of over a dozen current and former aides, the New York Times indicated he engaged in multiple strategy sessions and practiced on a mock debate stage. According to the suggestion Thursday by CNN's Erin Burnett, he might also have received the questions to run through in advance.

In light of the investment of time, money, and energy in debate preparation, there was likely some expectation of a passable showing. Jill Biden indicated, however, just how low the bar had been set.

When introducing the leader of the free world, Jill Biden said, "Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question."

"And let me ask the crowd: What did Trump do? Lie!" added the first lady.

While many critics suggested Jill Biden's commendation of the president for the satisfaction of the bare minimum was condescending, others suggested it was indicative instead of a deluded sense he might actually have done all right — a sense anchored in a desire to hold on to power.

Late Thursday night, Jill Biden released a video claiming, "He's the president we need — the president you deserve."

Levin: Dems turn a blind eye to Biden's offenses while zeroing in on Trump



If there’s one thing that Mark Levin is sure of, it’s that there’s not a single legitimate charge against Donald Trump.

“He’s attacked by the attorney general of New York, who is a left-wing reprobate and campaigned as a left-wing reprobate, on a fraud statute that doesn’t require fraud,” Levin says. “On a fraud statute that’s never been used before in the history of the state of New York.”

Levin believes those going after Trump are “rewriting laws, twisting laws, making laws, in order to get Trump.”

“None of this is fair and square. None of this is in the precedent of criminal prosecutions. None of this is in the criminal code, state or federal,” he continues.

And what’s happening in Fulton County between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade is no better.

“Meanwhile, defense counsel demonstrated that he had filed several false interrogatories. You file a false interrogatory, you do that under penalty of perjury. That is a crime, not a misdemeanor,” Levin explains.

The attorneys for Wade scrambled by constantly interrupting based on attorney-client privilege claims.

“This is ironic, in a sick way,” Levin says. “They stripped Donald Trump of attorney-client privilege on the January 6 so-called case in Washington, D.C.”

While the focus is all on Trump, the media continues to downplay Biden’s own offenses — which seem to keep getting worse.

“For half a century, Joe Biden violated federal law. The Espionage Act. As a senator, he stole documents,” Levin explains.

“So none of these cases are serious in terms of the law. They’re serious in terms of tying up Donald Trump on time, interfering with the election. Every damn one of them,” he adds.

Battle-Tested Trump Brings A New And Improved Ground Game To Iowa

The Trump campaign, unlike eight years ago, is taking nothing for granted.

Hilarious! Comedian Dave Landau ROASTS candidates after 4th GOP debate



Comedians are known for being truth-tellers, and Dave Landau is no exception — especially when it comes to his post-debate analysis.

Glenn Beck found Landau’s roast-style analysis “strangely spot-on” following the fourth GOP debate hosted by Megyn Kelly and News Nation.

“They did have better etiquette than usual, but I’ve still seen more manners at a fist fight at Golden Corral,” he tells a laughing Glenn.

One moment Landau seems to remember fondly is the sign Vivek made, which was a piece of paper with “NIKKI = CORRUPT” scribbled across it.

“He didn’t have time to do a bad drawing of her,” Landau laughs before showing Glenn that he made some signs as well.

“Chris Christie + current eating habits = diabetes,” one sign reads. “Nikki Haley + two more years = hot flashes and night sweats,” reads another.

He even went after the originator of the sign method, Vivek.

“Vivek + fake hate crimes = Hasan Minaj,” he reads, holding the sign proudly for the BlazeTV team.

He didn’t spare DeSantis either.

“DeSantis + shoe lifts = DeSantis,” he reads.

But the roast doesn’t end there.

“I think Vivek could be a good attack dog, I just don’t see him as a president. He just seems a kind of nerdy kid you’d invite to a party just so when he passes out you could draw genitals on his forehead,” he jokes.

As for Nikki Haley, “she just looks like an actress who’s about to lose a lot of work. Like she’s right at that level.”

And while others believe DeSantis won the debate, Landau sees it a different way.

“DeSantis is coming off less to me like a strong presidential candidate and more like an angry WNBA coach who’s down by 40 in the half,” he says, adding that while he likes him, “he just seems like he’s very mad at, like, his high school daughter.”

Vivek Ramaswamy addresses BIGGEST CONTROVERSIES about his past



There’s no question that 2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been reflecting the voice of disgruntled Americans who no longer trust that the government is operating in their best interest.

However, there have been several controversies surrounding his campaign — and Glenn Beck wants answers.

Luckily, Vivek doesn’t shy away from controversy and sat down with Glenn to address the rumors.

“A Wikipedia editor alleges that you paid to have your Wikipedia page edited to remove you receiving the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans and your role in Ohio’s COVID-19 response team,” Glenn starts. “Is that true, and if it is, why?”

Vivek explains that before he ran for president, “there were a lot of falsehoods” on his Wikipedia page.

These falsehoods included everything from details about his birth to his wife’s name.

“So, before I ran, yes, I wanted to make sure that the public was aware of exactly what the right facts were,” he explains.

As for the COVID-19 response team in Ohio, Vivek claims that "there wasn’t actually ever a formally titled body.”

“There was a lieutenant governor in Ohio, who remains a friend of mine to this day, who asked me if he could call me from time to time to get basic advice through the process,” he says. “I helped him with the reopening plan. That was a short version of the help that I provided him. So I’m actually proud of that.”

Vivek also explains that he was “pro-reopening” and that he was always “dead set against” lockdowns and mandates.

As for the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, he explains that he received that scholarship at the age of 24 but that, much to his chagrin, it was listed at the top of his accomplishments on Wikipedia until recently.

“At the age of 37, having achieved a lot of things,” Vivek explains that he didn’t want the first thing on his Wikipedia page to be a “random scholarship” he got at the age of 24. “That’s manipulation,” he says.

“One of the things I’ve learned in this process, Glenn, is there's a lot of left-wing media manipulation, but there’s media manipulation 360 degrees, driven by, not just fake-news media, but a lot of fake, establishment candidates too, who are threatened by my rise.”
