    CNN Dumps Trump Transcript Over Classified Docs

    Things are not looking good for Donald Trump.

    Hours after Trump was reportedly indicted by a Florida grand jury in the classified documents case CNN’s Paula Reid shared a transcript of the tape in which Trump discusses not being able to share secret information.

    Reid and Kaitlan Collins broke the news last week that Trump was caught on tape discussing an allegedly classified document that he had taken with him when he left the White House. During the tape, Trump reportedly acknowledged he can’t show the document, which outlines a plan to attack Iran, to his visitors because of the classification attached to it.

    Read the transcript below:

    “Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump says at one point, according to the transcript. “This was done by the military and given to me.”

    Trump was complaining in the meeting about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley. The meeting occurred shortly after The New Yorker published a story by Susan Glasser detailing how, in the final days of Trump’s presidency, Milley instructed the Joint Chiefs to ensure Trump issued no illegal orders and that he be informed if there was any concern.

    “Well, with Milley – uh, let me see that, I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t that amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him,” Trump says, according to the transcript. “They presented me this – this is off the record, but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. We looked at some. This was him. This wasn’t done by me, this was him.”

    Trump continues: “All sorts of stuff – pages long, look. Wait a minute, let’s see here. I just found, isn’t that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”

    During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital Thursday night, Trump said the case is “election interference” and “the greatest witch hunt of all time.” Trump said he will “of course” plead not guilty to charges in federal court on Tuesday, and said he is “totally innocent.”

    “This is the most corrupt administration in history—there has never been an administration so corrupt, and they’re just starting to find it right now,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “They are trying to deflect all of their dishonesty by bringing this ridiculous boxes hoax case.”

    He added: “They’re not going to get away with it.”

    “I did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said, citing the Presidential Records Act, saying it “makes me totally innocent.”

    Multiple House Dems Vote To Condemn Harris’s Immigration Failures

      On Thursday, six House Democrats voted alongside Republicans to condemn “border czar” Kamala Harris over her failure to secure the United States’ southern border with Mexico.

      The resolution was sponsored by GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and put to a vote on the House floor.

      Since Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign there’s been a dramatic push by the legacy media to neutralize one of Harris’ biggest vulnerabilities: her longstanding “border czar” label.

      Harris was widely dubbed the “border czar” after President Biden tasked her in March 2021 to address the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America.

      The term was widely used by her critics and by multiple news organizations, however, her recent ascension has caused a notable change throughout media outlets.

      CNN had a similar shift. CNN correspondent Ed Lavandera and CNN commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin both referred to Harris as the “border czar” in 2021 and 2023, respectively. 

      This week, the network repeatedly rebuked the label. 

      “The Biden team didn’t declare her the border czar,” CNN’s Kasie Hunt said Wednesday morning. “They wanted her to work on kind of the root causes of immigration.”

      “What [former President Trump] said about Harris and immigration was not true. She was never appointed border czar,” fellow CNN anchor John Berman also said Wednesday. 

      Axios went viral Wednesday with its report about the “border confusion” that has haunted Harris, telling readers “the Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title — which she never actually had.”

      Meet the Representatives helping hold the presumptive Democrat nominee responsible:

      –Jared Golden (D-ME)

      –Yadira Caraveo (D-CO)

      –Don Davis (D-NC) 

      –Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) 

      –Henry Cuellar (D-TX)

      U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, speaks about the U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA $102 million dollar investment to expand access to housing and water infrastructure for socially disadvantaged rural people, nearly nation wide, during an announcement in Zapata Co., TX, on Dec 16, 2022. USDA Media by Lance Cheung.

      –Mary Peltola (D-AK)

      The document first outlined Harris’s prescribed role in addressing the border crisis and noted, among other items, that the former Border Patrol chief had never been spoken to by either Harris or President Joe Biden and the skyrocketing levels of illegal immigration into the country under their administration.

      “the House of Representatives strongly condemns the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border; affirms that the American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the crisis at the border and who will execute the policies to fix the border crisis; clearly and firmly states that the continuation of the Biden, Harris border policies would be disastrous for both the United States and the American people.”

      The handful of Democrats siding with Republicans is notable as Harris seeks to secure the party nomination.

      Republicans are expected to capitalize on Harris’s failures at the border throughout the election.

      Former Obama Staffer Accuses GOP Of Leaking Michelle Obama White House Rumors

        A former staffer for President Barack Obama is sharing her own theory behind speculation former First Lady Michelle Obama has an interest in running for President.

        Party strategist Ameshia Cross said during an appearance on “Cuomo.”

        “Honestly, I don’t think it’s coming from the right because they really want to see Michelle Obama run, I think it’s coming from the right because they want an opportunity to tear Michelle Obama down,” she told anchor Chris Cuomo.

        Cross, a former Obama campaign staffer, said it’s abundantly clear the former first lady has “absolutely no interest” in a White House bid “at any level.” Rather than run against Harris, Cross believes Michelle Obama will likely work as a surrogate to help her secure her funding.

        The director of communications for Obama’s office, reaffirmed her stance in March, stating, “As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president.”

        Earlier this month a poll found Obama as one of the only Democrats able to beat Trump this November.

        The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, reveals that Michelle Obama would surpass Trump in a hypothetical matchup, securing 50% of the vote compared to his 39%. Notably, only 4% of respondents stated they would abstain from voting altogether. The 11-point lead highlights Obama’s uniquely strong position in a highly polarized political landscape.

        This TV Host Seeks to Represent Trump Supporters- There is One Glaring Issue

          Will Alyssah Farah Griffin become the new face of Trump supporters? That’s her new goal…

          The incoming conservative host for “The View” and former White House communications director who has taken a staunch stance against the former president says she wants to “represent” his millions of supporters.

          On Monday, Griffin joined “Good Morning America” to discuss her being named to the panel and the impact she hopes to have.

          According to The Daily Wire:

          “I’m a millennial and I worked in the Trump administration. I’ve also since criticized the former president,” Griffin explained, adding, “But I still want to be a voice for the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and kind of tell them, from my experience, here’s why I won’t support him again, but here’s what a future Republican Party can and should look like. So that’s really what I’m hoping to meet the audience with.”

          Griffin went on to take several potshots at the former president, saying that she certainly understood discussions could get heated among women who did not always see eye to eye. “Listen, by the way, I survived the Trump West Wing. I think I can survive ‘The View.’ We’ll see. I’ll be back to let you know,” she added.

          Griffin, who resigned from the Trump administration on January 6, 2021, has since been quite vocal of her opposition to Trump. “As somebody who regrettably worked for Donald Trump, I do not want to see that man ever be president again,” she said.

          Griffin and Ana Navarro were both named as conservative hosts for “The View” over the summer, however, Navarro is not expected to join the panel every day.

          Alex Jones Goes Nuclear On Trump, Demands Impeachment Over Iran War

          The MAGA civil war over Iran just took an explosive new turn.

          Alex Jones, one of President Donald Trump’s earliest and loudest supporters, is now demanding his removal from office—accusing the president of secretly preparing to revive the military draft and send American troops into a full-scale ground war.

          In a fiery video posted Tuesday to his more than 4 million followers on X, Jones called for Trump’s impeachment, floated using the 25th Amendment and even demanded “Nuremberg-style trials” for administration officials.

          “The big issue is how to stop Trump,” Jones declared, according to Mediaite. “This is a war; they’re getting the draft ready. If this isn’t a war, nothing’s a war.”

          Jones then issued his most direct challenge yet to the president he once championed.

          “And so I’m calling for it right now: 25th Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center, to get control of our country,” he said.

          The conspiracy broadcaster claimed Trump was preparing to use “total war” as a pretext to censor Americans, seize greater control over the economy and accelerate the displacement of workers through artificial intelligence.

          “We are facing tyranny,” Jones warned. “We’ve got to come together and transcend left and right, and we have to say no to an expanded war that will definitely destroy the economy and kill a bunch of our troops.”

          “They’re preparing a massive ground invasion,” he added. “It’s all confirmed.”

          Jones presented no evidence supporting that claim.

          The Selective Service System says there is currently no military draft. Reinstating one would require Congress to amend federal law and authorize the president to begin inducting Americans into the armed forces.

          White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in March that ground troops and a draft were “not part of the current plan,” although she stressed that Trump was unwilling to remove military options from the table, according to PolitiFact.

          Jones nevertheless urged Americans on both sides of the political divide to pressure Congress into ending the conflict.

          “Americans, left and right, must come together now and demand Congress invoke the war powers and end this war now,” he said.

          The tirade represents a stunning reversal for a man who helped boost Trump during his first campaign for the White House. Trump appeared on Jones’s program in December 2015 and praised his host, telling him, “Your reputation is amazing.”

          But Jones’s relationship with Trump has steadily deteriorated as the Iran conflict has deepened. He joins prominent right-wing voices including Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in accusing the president of abandoning the “America First” movement’s opposition to prolonged foreign wars.

          Jones has now pushed the rupture further than most, openly demanding that Trump be driven from the White House.

          His outburst also comes as opposition to the conflict spreads beyond conservative media.

          The House voted 214-208 last week to approve a war-powers resolution directing Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities with Iran. Four Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the measure, although a similar resolution failed in the Senate. The White House strongly opposed the House measure, arguing that it would interfere with Trump’s authority to defend American personnel and respond to Iranian attacks.

          For Jones, however, a congressional rebuke is no longer enough.

          The Christmas season brings together family and friends to share memories of seasons past and discuss the true meaning of the holiday.

          One little-known moment in America’s history is worth sharing with friends this Christmas season…

          During a decisive point during the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton’s Third Army became bogged down in its drive to relieve the legendary 101st Airborne Division trapped at Bastogne, Belgium. 

          The besieged Americans has just successfully defended the vital crossroads town from a German force that outnumbered them by nine-to-one but frigid winter conditions had grounded the Allied air force, neutralizing their advantage in the air and leaving Americans at severe risk.

          With little hope of survival left Patton turned to his faith and requested Rev. Msgr. James Hugh O’Neill, chaplain of the Third Army, compose what became known as the “Weather Prayer.” 

          Here’s what it said:

          “Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.” 

          On the reverse side of the prayer card distributed to every GI under his command, Patton wrote:

          “To each officer and soldier in the Third United States Army, I wish a Merry Christmas. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We march in our might to complete victory. May God’s blessings rest upon each of you on this Christmas Day. — G.S. Patton, Jr., Lieutenant General, Commanding, Third United States Army.”

          A Christmas miracle brought clear skies the next day and American ground attack aircraft decimated the Nazis’ armored spearheads and the rest was history…

          Here’s What’s Inside The Senate’s Version Of Trump’s Bill

            In a major victory for the America First agenda, Senate Republicans united early Tuesday morning to pass President Donald Trump’s monumental “big, beautiful bill.” This sweeping legislation is designed to supercharge the economy, empower hardworking Americans, and invest in national security and border integrity — delivering on promises that put American citizens first.

            Lower Taxes for Workers and Families

            At the heart of this landmark bill is an extension of President Trump’s historic 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. By preventing a looming 22% tax hike, this measure protects working families and preserves the economic momentum that has already lifted millions out of hardship.

            The bill includes powerful new deductions targeted directly at middle- and working-class Americans. Waitstaff and service workers will now be able to deduct taxes on up to $25,000 of their tipped wages — a major relief for everyday heroes in the hospitality sector. Additionally, up to $12,500 in overtime pay will be deductible, rewarding Americans who go the extra mile.

            Seniors, too, receive long-overdue recognition, with an additional $6,000 tax deduction to help them keep more of their hard-earned retirement savings. And for all Americans who rely on their vehicles to work and live, a new deduction for car loan interest will help ease the burden of rising costs.

            Relief for High-Tax States

            Responding to Republican leaders from high-cost states, the bill temporarily raises the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions to $40,000 for five years. This move is a win for taxpayers in places like New York and California who have long been punished by state-level tax-and-spend policies.

            This provision empowers conservative representatives from blue states to continue fighting for their constituents while advancing America First priorities.

            Restoring Responsibility to Medicaid

            True to conservative values, the bill restores accountability to Medicaid by introducing commonsense work requirements. Able-bodied adults without children, aged 18 to 64, will need to work at least 80 hours a month, pursue education, or participate in community service to continue receiving benefits.

            These reforms aim to encourage independence and self-reliance while protecting resources for the truly vulnerable.

            Acknowledging rural healthcare challenges, the bill doubles a critical stabilization fund to $50 billion, ensuring that rural hospitals stay open and continue serving their communities.

            Strengthening SNAP and Combating Dependency

            The bill also tightens rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), requiring work or community engagement for able-bodied adults without dependents. This move reflects a deeply held belief that government aid should be a temporary safety net, not a way of life, and encourages recipients to return to the workforce.

            Ted Cruz Responds To Trump Supreme Court Chatter

            Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America,

            Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has issued an unmistakable response to renewed talk that President Donald Trump could nominate him to the Supreme Court.

            His answer: “Not just no, but hell no.”

            Cruz delivered the fiery rejection during an appearance on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, making clear that he would rather remain in the political arena than trade the Senate for a lifetime appointment to the nation’s highest court.

            “So look, my answer is not just no, but hell no,” Cruz told Hannity. “And listen, I don’t say that lightly. I mean, it’s a big deal. The court is an institution I revere.”

            Cruz acknowledged that his refusal may surprise those familiar with his legal career, much of which unfolded in and around the Supreme Court.

            “A lot of people are surprised because I’ve spent an awful lot of my professional life around the court, in the court,” he said. “And for so many people, it is their life dream to do.”

            Cruz Wants To Stay In The Fight

            The Texas Republican explained that serving as a federal judge would require him to step away from the political and policy battles that have defined his Senate career.

            “Because a principled federal judge stays out of politics and stays out of policy fights,” Cruz said, according to Fox News.

            That restraint appears to be precisely what makes the position unappealing to Cruz. Although he expressed deep respect for the court, his comments suggest he prefers fighting publicly for conservative priorities rather than weighing cases from behind the bench.

            Cruz also called Trump a “good friend,” signaling that his rejection was aimed at the job—not the president who has repeatedly floated his name.

            Trump Keeps Floating His Name

            Trump has long praised Cruz’s legal credentials, even after their famously bruising battle for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

            During a Washington event in January, Trump called Cruz a “brilliant legal mind” before joking that a Cruz nomination could produce a rare unanimous Senate vote.

            “If I nominate him for the U.S. Supreme Court, I will get 100% of the vote,” Trump said. “The Democrats will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out. And the Republicans will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out too,” according to the Houston Chronicle.

            The joke drew laughs, but Trump’s interest has not always been hypothetical. He placed Cruz among 20 potential Supreme Court nominees on his 2020 shortlist, the Texas Tribune reported.

            At the time, Cruz called the consideration “humbling” and “an immense honor,” but emphasized that he expected to continue defending Texans and constitutional liberties in the Senate.

            His latest answer leaves considerably less room for speculation.

            A Résumé Built For The Court

            On paper, Cruz possesses many of the qualifications normally associated with a Supreme Court contender.

            He earned his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and graduated from Harvard Law School before clerking for Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz later served as Texas solicitor general, arguing eight cases before the Supreme Court in that role and a ninth after returning to private practice, according to his official Senate biography.

            He entered the Senate in 2013 and has since built a national profile as one of the chamber’s most aggressive conservative voices.

            Cruz clearly reveres the Supreme Court. He simply does not want to join it.

            And if Trump ever formally asks, the Texas senator has already prepared his answer.

            GOP Senator Swatted Hours After He’s Branded ‘RINO’ By Trump

            President Donald Trump is threatening to primary Indiana Republicans for declining to gerrymander the state and add GOP seats to Congress.

            The president has repeatedly urged GOP-led states like Indiana to redistrict and give Republicans an advantage in the 2026 midterms.

            Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to put “RINO Senators” on notice for “depriving” Republicans of a House majority.

            “Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans, led by RINO Senators Rod Bray and Greg Goode, for not wanting to redistrict their State, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats,” Trump wrote.

            “The Democrats have done redistricting for years, often illegally, and all other appropriate Republican States have done it. Because of these two politically correct type ‘gentlemen,’ and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!”

            Trump took a shot at California’s Prop 50 redistricting measure that passed overwhelmingly and allows the state to redraw congressional districts in favor of Democrats. Prop 50 was proposed after Texas approved redistricting in favor of Republicans.

            “California is trying to pick up five seats, and no one is complaining about that. It’s weak ‘Republicans’ that cause our Country such problems — It’s why we have crazy Policies and Ideas that are so bad for America,” Trump wrote, continuing:

            Also, a friend of mine, Governor Mike Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes. Considering that Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing! Any Republican that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED. Indiana is a State with strong, smart, and patriotic people. They want us to see our Country WIN, and want to, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Senators Bray, Goode, and the others to be released to the public later this afternoon, should DO THEIR JOB, AND DO IT NOW! If not, let’s get them out of office, ASAP.

            The Indiana state lawmaker was the target of a “swatting” incident just hours later, according to local authorities.

            Sheriff Derek Fell said deputies were dispatched around 5 p.m. on Sunday after Terre Haute police received an email “advising harm had been done to persons inside a home, located in southeastern Vigo County.” Officers struggled to make contact at first, Fell said, but eventually confirmed the residents, including the senator, were safe.

            Goode and his family “were secure, safe, and unharmed,” Fell said, adding that an investigation showed the threat was a hoax, “also known as ‘swatting.’”

            In a brief statement, the senator said he and his family were “victims,” offering thanks to the sheriff and Terre Haute Police Chief Kevin Barrett for their “professionalism.”

            The incident lands amid a tense and unusually public fight over redistricting in Indiana. GOP leaders froze the process on Friday when Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray refused to reconvene lawmakers to draw new maps favoring Republicans.

            Earlier Sunday, Trump threatened to publish a list of GOP holdouts “later this afternoon,” though the promised names did not emerge.
