James Carville So Worked Up Over Trump That He Tries To Take ‘Deep Breath’ To Not ‘Punch’ His Computer
'We shouldn't kid ourselves'
Is the mysterious drone footage lying — or is the government lying?
The government has been adamant that the drones spotted flying over various states are not a threat to public safety, but others are not so sure, including President-elect Donald Trump.
“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
However, while Trump and others are concerned — some even speculating that the drones are American made and scanning for radiation — there are many prominent voices continuing to claim there’s nothing to worry about.
“What I’m hearing from the FBI is we don’t see a threat here,” former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger said in an interview on CNN. “I’ve spent the last couple days looking at every one of these videos. Every video I have seen on Twitter, on the internet, are all airplanes. They’re literally all airplanes.”
And Kinzinger isn’t the only one who’s showing up to shoot down the American public’s concerns instead of the drones.
“President-elect Donald Trump, he just called on the Biden administration for you guys to either release any information it has about these mysterious drone sightings, or shoot the drones out of the sky. How do you respond to the president-elect?” Wolf Blitzer asked Alejandro Mayorkas in an interview on CNN.
“Well, first of all, the statements I’ve made already are the principal message that I want to communicate to the American public. We haven’t seen anything unusual, we know of no threat,” Mayorkas responded.
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report,” who has seen the videos of the drones and is well-aware they are definitely unusual, is disturbed by the blatant lies.
“Do you see why Donald Trump is president?” he asks, adding, “Do you see why the mainstream media is free falling? Do you see why the Democrats both suck and blow simultaneously?”

CNN correspondent scolds Trump over first words said immediately after being shot
A CNN correspondent is being raked over the coals for scolding former President Donald Trump over the first words he uttered seconds after being shot during an assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The would-be assassin fired as many as eight shots toward Trump from his AR-15-style rifle while in a prone position on the roof of a building roughly 400 feet from the rally stage. The spray of bullets killed a firefighter in attendance, critically injured two spectators, and nicked Trump in his ear.
After Trump realized he had been shot in the ear, he dropped to the ground, and Secret Service agents rushed to shield the former president. Seconds later, Secret Service agents were notified that the gunman had been neutralized and attempted to rush Trump off the stage. However, Trump instructed them to wait, looked at the crowd with blood on his face, pumped his fist, and yelled: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Trump was then ushered off the stage as the crowd chanted "U-S-A!"
However, CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel criticized Trump for his reaction that occurred within 80 seconds after being shot in the ear.
"I do want to say there was one thing that, when I watched the tape, I found odd because of all of the heated rhetoric, and that is after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said, ‘fight, fight, fight,’" Gangel said.
Gangel added, "I think what we’re hearing from people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down."
The CNN correspondent was lambasted on social media for criticizing a man who had just been a victim of an assassination attempt.
Talk show host Megyn Kelly: "The man was bleeding from a bullet wound to his head. WTF is wrong with you @jamiegangel? In any event it was the most inspirational 'FIGHT' many people have ever seen or heard. The fact that you heard it as you did shows how badly you’ve lost the thread."
Donald Trump Jr.: "Someone attempted to assassinate my father tonight and this is what CNN is focused on. These people are vile."
Gun rights activist Dana Loesch: "Your network and colleagues should do a self-check on rhetoric."
Talk radio host Erick Erickson: "This is why there must be media accountability. CNN’s Jamie Gangel is upset that 30 seconds after Trump got shot he wasn’t lecturing his crowd. Unbelievable. Victim shaming."
Former Trump speechwriter Darren J. Beattie: "Media is the enemy of the people. It's very unfortunate that they feel comfortable talking like this."
Reporter Megan Basham: "Unbelievable. CNN right now criticizing Trump for telling his supporters to fight only seconds after he was shot by a would-be assassin. Tsk tsk’ing that it wasn’t the right tone to take."
Author Jim Hanson: "What a foul wretch. CNN is a cancer."
Another CNN personality also tried to blame Trump's criticisms of Biden as a cause of the rise in extreme rhetoric that led to an assassination attempt on former President Trump.
Scott Jennings – a Republican strategist and contributor to CNN – explained during an appearance on the cable news network that the failed assassination attempt stemmed from the nonstop fearmongering that Trump being elected again would be the end of the United States as we know it.
"The rhetoric around him over the last few weeks that if he wins an election, our country will end, our democracy will end, it’s the last election we'll ever have. These things have consequences, okay? I don’t know what the motivations of the shooter are. I don’t know any of the details, but I know the rhetoric around Trump has grown extreme," Jennings began.
"We have people in this country who are dedicated to telling half the country that if Donald Trump wins an election, the country will end, the Constitution will go away, and so on and so forth," Jennings stated. "What I want to hear from all elected officials is this kind of hyperbolic extremism has consequences, and it must end. Yes, we’re all shocked, and yes, political violence has no place. Where does it come from? It’s got to stop."
CNN host Wolf Blitzer attempted to make a "both sides" argument and replied, "But we’re also hearing from Trump very, very strong statements of condemnation of Biden, the worst president, the most dangerous president, and all of that. He’s speaking very, very strongly against President Biden."
Jennings fired back, "Who’s in the hospital?"
Blitzer maintained, "You say calm things down. I agree both sides should calm things."

CNN guest fact-checks Wolf Blitzer in real time for pushing Biden narrative about Trump's words: 'I listened to the tape'
Republican Scott Jennings called out CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday for taking Donald Trump's remarks about immigrants out of context.
On Tuesday, the Biden campaign posted a seven-second clip of remarks Trump made during a stop in Michigan, ripping the comments out of their context to misrepresent what Trump was saying. The campaign made it appear as if Trump had described all immigrants as "animals."

Blitzer then took the Biden campaign's narrative about the remarks and asked Jennings whether Americans are becoming "desensitized" to Trump's "brutal, incendiary rhetoric" about immigrants.
"Isn't that brutal? Shouldn't people be condemning that?" Blitzer asked.
Jennings not only answered the question, but he informed Blitzer that he was misrepresenting Trump's remarks.
"I listened to the entire tape. He was specifically talking about the person who murdered Laken Riley in Georgia," Jennings pointed out.
"And to be honest with you, Wolf, if somebody murders another human being, I think they deserve to be called 'animals,' and I don't think any American is really going to reject that kind of rhetoric," he added. "That poor girl was murdered in cold blood. Is that person who did it not an animal? I think that's an apt term."
But for some reason, Blitzer could not wrap his head around the idea that Trump was not condemning all immigrants.
"You think he was only referring to those murderers, not referring in general to illegal immigrants who are coming into the United States?" the CNN anchor followed up.
"I listened to the tape. That's exactly what he was talking about," Jennings confirmed.
Trump, indeed, was referring to the Venezuelan immigrant accused of killing Laken Riley — not all immigrants.
But Blitzer didn't know that, nor did CNN's audience, because CNN producers spliced together several cuts of Trump's remarks to misrepresent what he was saying.
Here is what Trump said:
The 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who was barbarously murdered by an illegal alien animal. The Democrats say "please don’t call them animals. They’re humans." I said no, they’re not humans. They're not humans. They’re animals. Nancy Pelosi told me, "Please don't use the word 'animals,' sir, when you're talking about these people." I said, "I'll use the word 'animal' because that's what they are."
