Last week, Fox News contributor Tyrus sat down with Donald Trump for an exclusive interview for the latest episode of Maintaing With Tyrus on OutKick. The conversation focused on manhood, religion, schools, surviving an assassination attempt and also delved into who Trump is as a person.
A reader contacted OutKick to alert us that when they tried to share the YouTube link of the interview on Facebook, they were unable to do so and instead received a message stating the following: "Your content couldn't be shared because this goes against our Community Standards."
In response, we tried to share the video ourselves and were met with the same notification (see below). OutKick heard from dozens of people across America who had the same experience. //
The Trump-Tyrus interview wasn't the only video that people had trouble sharing. After the initial issue was pointed out, we tried to post Clay Travis' interview with Donald Trump from the Alabama-Georgia game earlier this month. The link to that interview was also blocked from sharing on Facebook and supposedly violated the same "Community Standards" as the Tyrus interview.
Gold Star families and former White House officials are slamming Jeffrey Goldberg’s attempt to smear Trump with another fallacious hit piece. //
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of far-left propaganda outlet The Atlantic, published an article Tuesday with glaring fabrications about former President Donald Trump’s interactions with the families of fallen service members and his outlook on military leadership.
Goldberg’s dishonest hit piece is the latest in a long line of far-left outlets lying and deceiving the American people before a major election. //
While Goldberg’s claims are sourced by “contemporaneous notes” and “a witness,” they were disputed publicly by senior members of the Trump administration who were actually in the room at the time of the alleged incident. //
Goldberg’s smear piece is in line with his 2020 lie, the “suckers and loser” hoax that was also heavily rebutted by nearly everyone involved, which he originated late in the election season as well. Conveniently, Democrats have since been rolling that hoax out every time Trump mentions the military, as they did again in the aftermath of Trump attending the Arlington National Cemetery ceremony.
As my colleague Jordan Boyd wrote, “Nearly two dozen Trump White House officials debunked the hit piece, which only received ‘confirmation’ from one source outside of Goldberg.” In the same way, Goldberg’s newest screed is thinly sourced and relies on anonymous testimony while ignoring or devaluing on-the-record statements.
Goldberg also appears to have invented out of thin air a denial from Meadows spokesman Ben Williamson, saying that Meadows “denied having heard Trump make the statement.” In reality, Meadows said Trump “absolutely did not say that.”

On the left: I sent Atlantic a comment saying President Trump “absolutely did not say that,” referring to the alleged comments about Ms. Guillen they printed.
On the right: Atlantic translated that comment to “didn’t hear Trump say it.”
Treat this dishonest piece accordingly.

Jeffrey Goldberg published a bombshell story that convulsed the nation. No, I’m not talking about his recent Atlantic magazine piece claiming, based on the testimony of four anonymous sources, that President Trump had grossly disrespected America’s dead and wounded warriors in 2018.
I’m talking about Goldberg’s New Yorker feature claiming that “the relationship between Saddam’s regime and al-Qaeda is far closer than previously thought.” Published less than a year after 9/11, the story fed into the fervid pro-war atmosphere that then gripped the nation.
Headlined “The Great Terror,” the essay was based on a reporting trip to Iraq’s northern Kurdish zone. It recounted, in terrifying and admirable detail, Saddam Hussein’s 1988 poison-gas assault against Kurdish civilians in the village of Halabja.
Along the way, Goldberg did other things, too — chief among them, speaking to alleged terrorist detainees in a prison run by a pro-regime-change Kurdish faction.
The mostly unnamed prisoners, per Goldberg, informed him “that the intelligence service of Saddam Hussein has joint control, with al-Qaeda operatives, over [a local jihadist faction]; that Saddam Hussein hosted a senior leader of al-Qaeda in Baghdad in 1992; that a number of al-Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan have been secretly brought into territory controlled by [the local jihadists]; and that Iraqi intelligence agents smuggled conventional weapons, and possibly even chemical and biological weapons, into Afghanistan.” //
Pretty chilling stuff. The Bush administration made Saddam’s ties to al-Qaeda a key plank of its case for regime change. The war happened. Saddam was toppled. But in the years that followed, the Iraq-al-Qaeda link posited by Goldberg unraveled.
Meanwhile, several studies have found that cleaner, clearer air due to falling pollution from China and lower sulfur marine fuels made only a small contribution to last year’s temperatures. One study, submitted to Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, found that declining pollution could raise global temperatures by 0.03°C over the next 20 years, with the strongest effect not occurring until later this decade. It’s not nothing, says study co-author Duncan Watson-Parris, an atmospheric physicist at Scripps, but far too little to explain last year. Taken together, says Mika Rantanen, a climate scientist at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the results are “a good reminder that it was indeed El Niño that was the major player.” //
None of the data justifies making energy more expensive. None of the data justify covering thousands of square miles of open ground, including vital wildlife habitat, with windmills and solar panels.

While Kamala spends time with Hollywood celebrities who won't be negatively impacted by her failed economic policy and illegal immigration, President Trump spends time with regular Americans who will be. While he receives the occasional endorsement from a celebrity, his time and attention are focused on Americans who aren't rich and famous.

This calls to mind Goldberg's infamous fable, when he told his readers in a Sept. 3, 2020, piece, “Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’” that Trump ridiculed fallen warriors when the decision was made not to visit the Belleau Wood military cemetery in France during the centennial commemoration of the end of World War I.
A senior Army officer traveling with the president that day told RedState the trip to Belleau Wood, which is sacred to the Marines, was scrubbed because the foul weather grounded the helicopters.
Without helicopters, the president and his entourage would be a slow-moving motorcade on country roads for 45 minutes, a target too rich to provide to an adversary—coupled with the fact that without helicopters, there could be no medevac by air if something happened.

Wow.
Kamala Harris says that she does not believe in any religious exemptions for abortion.
5:47 PM · Oct 22, 2024
And there you have it. Kamala Harris would force Christian hospitals to perform abortions. There's no other way to read her answer, which specifically said there will be no concessions made regarding the issue.
The incredible gender gap and Trump leading in most age and education brackets combined with nearly a fifth of Black voters saying they are undecided all say that Georgia will go for Trump. In the words of St. Augustine, we must "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you." And we must be vigilant because, in the words of Josef Stalin, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."
I would suggest that the primary reason why so many of us are stressed out about politics is because the federal government has become so bloated, so intrusive into our lives, that it matters quite a bit which politicians are in charge at a given time. The people we elect can determine whether we can carry a firearm, consume a substance, be sent to war, or be victimized by violent criminals.
Indeed, if a disaster like the COVID-19 pandemic hits, we have to worry about whether our elected officials will push for onerous lockdown orders or impose mandates requiring us to choose between a vaccine or being able to make a living.
This is all because the federal government has expanded much further than the framers of the Constitution would have desired. We have an overabundance of laws that cannot even be reliably counted because they are so plentiful.
What if we could wave a magic wand and cut the government down to about half its size? Yes, that would still be too much government for my tastes, but it would be far better than what we have right now. If the government were smaller and weaker, then decisions over who should be running it would matter far less than they do now because the state would not have as much power to affect our lives.
Less government would amount to less stress because we are freer to live as we see fit without Big Brother looking over our shoulders. The fact that almost two-thirds of the populace is stressed about the upcoming election highlights the real issue we should be facing: The federal government is far too powerful, and until this changes, we will continue to be stressed about who occupies the White House and Capitol building.
"And it is because of my love for our country — and specifically, because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace — that I'm proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party. I'm joining the party of the people, the party of equality, the party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country. It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace."
But she's not cowed by the haters on the left and is now using her platform to endorse Donald Trump:
"I think that he has a great sense of humor," she began. "I think that he is a man amongst the people. I feel like when you wrap that up with the humility that he has, the sense of humor that he has, the off-the-cuff confidence that he has. His ability to go so unscripted and be in so many scenarios where he has to essentially be himself, it’s pretty much all of them. That’s not just something you see from the other side, which I think is one of the most endearing and important qualities about him is that he is just being him."
When it comes down to it, here's why Danica Patrick is casting her first-ever presidential vote for Donald Trump: "I am passionate because it feels like voting for Donald Trump is like the vote of reason. The rational, reasonable choice."
A group of eleven former Republican prosecutors and elected officials have asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to open an investigation into Elon Musk for paying registered voters in seven states to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. //
As Musk has elevated his profile in politics (see 'To Hell With Them': Elon Knocks Those Who Are 'Fundamentally Anti-American' As He Stumps for Trump in PA), he has become a target of the US government. Sunday, the New York Times wrote a gleeful story on all the federal agencies investigating either Musk or his business ventures, complete with a helpful infographic. //
If Harris wins in November, Musk's grim prediction to Tucker Carlson will probably be vindicated: "If he loses, I’m f—-d.”. //

Someone suggested to me that they would check their pursuit of Elon Musk because SpaceX IS the US space program now. I warned them that they didn't understand leftists at all. Leftists care that you conform or get destroyed; nothing else matters to them. Hell, they don't like the space program anyway, and never have ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goh2x_G0ct4 )
Pol Pot was a typical leftist at the end of the movement. He murdered everyone who could do something useful. People who can do things tend to be rational thinkers, which is dangerous to leftist regimes. They murdered millions and wrecked their country and economy for decades, and I don't think they ever regretted it. And they will do it here if good people don't stand up and stop them. It's going to get messy. //

Ran across this story: George Washington was running for a seat in the VA House of Delegates. As usual Washington leveraged his sterling reputation in his campaign. His opponant fortified his own appeal by delivering alcohol to his speeches. It was customary, but Washington wanted to eliminate any suggestion of impropriety. He lost. When Washington ran again he delivered rum, beer, whisky, and other beverages from the distillery he ran on his farm to his events. He won.
Lesson learned: Washington may have been the most careful American leader in terms of his reputation and cultivating the power of it. But he was also mindful of the customs of his day. America was blessed by God for the leadership of Washington. He was the essential man for his time.
Harris’ campaign is promising that if she is elected and the numbers in Congress work, Democrats will eliminate the Senate filibuster. //
The Dems are not promising to eliminate the filibuster to break a few ties, with the understanding that there will likely be future turnabout and their worst Republican policy nightmares will come true. This time they are playing for keeps.
If they can broadly eliminate the filibuster, buy four more senators, make millions of illegal aliens citizens with a 51-senator vote, rig our voting system processes, and rejigger the Supreme Court to create a roster of 13 mostly leftist justices, then they can entirely stop speaking to the Republican side of the aisle because they will have a permanent filibuster-proof Senate majority. And the Republicans will never have enough voters to reinstate legislative bumpers for both sides. It is not that Democrats have evaluated the likely conservative counter-offensive and determined that the risk is a good one. They perceive no risk. With all these sweeping changes, they can do whatever they want until the end of time with no practical oversight or influence of the people. The only two things holding them back are a Harris victory in November and a conscience they sorely lack. We will be a functional leftist autocracy. //
The question is who wants to live in a place in which only a single point of view is mandated from the top of government down by people who have proven themselves to be too ineffective to lead under the rules that have existed for generations? Who will support a Republican Party that sees all of this partisan rule breaking coming and does nothing to stop it? This presidential election is a referendum on both parties, neither of which seems able to look to the future to understand its gravity. //
Regardless of how many times Democrat candidates tell us that they are protecting democracy, they are not doing anything of the sort. Democracy is mob rule, one more vote than the other team. The filibuster is not contained in the Constitution but instead is the logical outgrowth of the long-developed Senate rule-making process. For a bill to be filibuster-proof, it required the support of 67 senators until a rule change reduced that number to 60 in 1975. Legislative processes are not designed so one party or the other, with 51 votes, can trade radical swings in our country’s laws and policies. They are designed for the opposite result, to force legislation down the middle and away from both ideological extremes.
Our Constitution and Senate and House rules are written to compel legislators, who work for the people, to stand eye-to-eye, communicate, and compromise for the greater good. The 60 votes serve as an effective buffer against radicalism. Harris and her party have utter disdain for that rule book.
A new documentary on the vice presidency gives a fresh perspective on the complications of American governance. //
No constitutional structure can know or predict every possible scenario that leads down the road of autocracy and anarchy. For this reason, Ben Franklin reportedly told a passerby at the end of the Constitutional Convention that the delegates had created “a republic, if you can keep it.” It falls on all of us — each successive generation of Americans — to rise to Franklin’s challenge. //
“The American Vice President” is available on PBS stations (check your local listings) and can be streamed online and via the PBS app.
This isn’t just about the election, though, but also about the changing nature between users — again, the product — and the online services we allow ourselves to be pimped out for. The disparities between the results for Trump and Harris simply highlight how stark the problem is.
Whether it’s Google or Facebook or Instagram, the initial premise of expanding easy access to information and apprising us of stories we might have otherwise missed has been largely destroyed. Google and Meta show us what they want us to see, not what we signed up to see, and it’s starting to turn people off. Maybe that’s a good thing, because most people need to spend more time in the real world. But when we’re trying to find a restaurant or information about voting or see pictures of a friend’s new landscaping or figure out how to get Elmer’s glue off the hardwood floors, burying those things under a mountain of nonsense makes us more likely to tune out.
Which is probably not just a good thing but a great thing — but initially the internet and social media were supposed to be about connecting us, about decreasing barriers to information. It would be nice if our tech overlords could remember what their initial goals were — in Google’s case, it was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful” — and return to those ideals instead of pushing us toward full “Idiocracy.”
I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen, though, particularly as Google itself deems such queries unworthy of answering.

Harris, the daughter of two college professors, who grew up attending private schools in Canada, was not, in the least, economically or socially disadvantaged. But there she is, claiming she was. //
There is no information on what Kamala Harris scored on her LSAT. We do know that she didn't pass the Bar on the first try when 80 percent of her classmates did pass. So how did a run-of-the-mill student, and daughter of a “privileged” upbringing get into Hastings School of Law?
Easy – she fudged her application. Harris was admitted under a program called LEOP. //
To get into law school, Harris was a beneficiary of a program that wasn’t intended for someone of her economic or social status. She almost certainly lied on her application or at a minimum knew that her politics would fit with the LEOP selection committee. Harris was “waved in” because of a lie or because of politics. Harris has consistently used the "system" she decries, and she gained positions that she did not deserve and did not earn. She gamed the system.
Not very “equitable” of her, it seems. //

There’s going to be a presidential election in a couple weeks, but few think that we’ll know for sure the next president on November 5—what used to be known, quaintly, as “Election Day.”
