Former President Donald Trump sat down for a lengthy interview with Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday, and occasionally found himself at odds with his interviewer. The event opened with Micklethwait acknowledging that Vice President Kamala Harris — who is running against Trump for the presidency in just three weeks — was offered the chance to do a similar interview, but said no.

She has declined. pic.twitter.com/pREBYoHhFp — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 15, 2024 Throughout the conversation, Trump and Micklethwait went back and forth on a number of economic issues with tariffs — which Harris has painted as a massive tax on the American people despite the fact that the Biden-Harris administration left a number of the Trump administration tariffs in place. Trump appeared to baffle Micklethwait when he explained that, in an ideal world, there would be no tariffs at all. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “You could be plunging America into the biggest trade war —” Micklethwait said. “But there are no tariffs,” Trump objected. “There are tariffs already,” Micklethwait pushed back, not sure what Trump was getting at. “No, there are no tariffs — all you have to do is build your plant in the United States and you don’t have any tariffs. That’s what I want,” Trump said, and the audience began to clap. TRUMP: "There are no tariffs." HOST: *confused* TRUMP: "No, there are no tariffs — all you have to do is build your plant in the United States and you don't have any tariffs. That's what I want." AUDIENCE: *applause* ??? pic.twitter.com/vYWE8A0QNe — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 15, 2024 Micklethwait continued to press the issue, saying, “You’re talking about 10-20% tariffs on the rest of the world. That is going to have a serious effect on the rest of the economy.” Trump agreed, but then proceeded to flip the argument on its head: “I agree it’s going to have a massive effect — positive effect… it must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong.” Interviewer: You're talking about 10-20% tariffs on the rest of the world. That is going to have a serious effect on the rest of the economy.

Micklethwait framed the question by noting that China was preparing for a “test run” of a “full naval blockade” and asked, “If China invades Taiwan, would you send American troops to defend it?” “Well, the reason they’re doing it now is because they’re not going to do it afterwards,” Trump shot back, alluding to a win for him on November 5th.

I saw trade deals that were so stupid that you’d have to be an idiot to sign them. And we signed them for years,” he said. President Trump will STOP foreign countries from taking advantage of the United States on trade: "Stupid people made these deals.

And we signed them for years." pic.twitter.com/YKlULRv2uL — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 15, 2024 Because no liberal media interview would be complete without it, Micklethwait dredged up January 6th and asked Trump whether he would commit to “a peaceful transfer of power.” Trump, who moved out of the White House in January of 2021 without incident and has not interfered in President Joe Biden’s administration, objected: “You had a peaceful transfer of power.” “You had a peaceful transfer of power compared to Venezuela, but it was by far the worst transfer of power in a long time,” Micklethwait tried to correct Trump, and the crowd booed him. Trump turned to the audience then saying, “Thank you, I appreciate that.” PRESIDENT TRUMP: "You had a peaceful transfer of power."

People are finally realizing exactly who Kamala Harris is. What they are discovering for the first time, perhaps, is that she is completely vacuous. There is nothing there. Nothing. There has never been anything there. Yesterday, Christopher Rufo, doing his usual yeoman investigative work, broke wide open the reality that Harris is an empty vessel and always was an empty vessel. What he found is that Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal justice book, “Smart on Crime.” She even lifted material directly from Wikipedia. (The first rule of being smart on crime, by the way, is: Do not plagiarize from Wikipedia.) I’ve written 11 books under my own name. I used to ghostwrite for a living, meaning I wrote books under other people’s names. When you are writing factual books, very often you’re relying on media reports. You have to change the wording, and you have to footnote it. Those are just a few of the steps you must take. You have to paraphrase, and then you have to footnote what you wrote. If you don’t do that, it’s plagiarism and stealing. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show But Harris, apparently without dropping footnotes, just lifted entire paragraphs of text from, for example, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the Associated Press, and from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a good source because it is a compendium of what other people have written about a topic. And the people doing the writing are just randos. It’s not as if someone had written a peer-reviewed book or something equivalent. “The investigation was conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian ‘plagiarism hunter’ who has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world,” Rufo noted. “We independently confirmed multiple violations, which are comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard president Claudine Gay’s doctoral thesis.” The investigation was conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" who has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world. We independently confirmed multiple violations, which are comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard… pic.twitter.com/P9DTpZS4kV — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) October 14, 2024 “The allegedly plagiarized sections came from a Bureau of Justice Assistance report in 2000, an Urban Institute report in 2004, a John Jay College of Criminal Justice press release describing a 2007 award, an Associated Press article in 2008, and a Wikipedia article’s wording in a 2008 iteration,” The New York Post reported, adding, “Chronicle executive director of marketing and publicity Lauren Hoffman asked for all inquiries to be forwarded to her, with one employee on the email chain emphasizing that the accusations touched on ‘a very sensitive topic.’” All of this underscores the fact that Harris has always been a giant nothing burger. There is nothing there. You can see it every time she talks. It’s why she spins around in circles: There’s just nothing deeper. We keep trying to scrape beneath the surface and find the deeper level of Kamala Harris. But perhaps it’s just deeper layers of emptiness. Perhaps it turns out that Harris’ core is just a gaping vacuum. Even CNN acknowledged that Harris had likely committed plagiarism, writing, “CNN reviewed several of the passages highlighted by Rufo and found that Harris and O’C. Hamilton failed to properly attribute language to sources.” Why does this matter? Because this is who Kamala Harris is. Vacuous and empty.

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) divulged she has not spoken to President Joe Biden since he ended his re-election bid in July following a Democratic Party mutiny she reportedly stoked. On Monday, journalist Jonathan Freeland asked Pelosi on his “Politics Weekly America” podcast about whether she has had a conversation with Biden in the nearly months that followed. Pelosi says she and Biden still haven't spoken since he dropped out. Asked if she thinks Biden has forgiven him, there is a long pause and she says: "There may be some people around him who haven't forgiven me for my role."Via @Freedland and his pod: pic.twitter.com/3Jc9VrKqfE — Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) October 15, 2024 “Not since then, no,” Pelosi revealed in the conversation. “So — but I’m prayerful about it. I have the greatest respect for him. I think he’s one of the great consequential presidents of our country.” Pelosi added: “I think his legacy had to be protected. I didn’t see that happening in the course that it was on — the election was on. My call was just to — ‘Let’s get on a better course. He will make the decision as to what that is.’ And he made that decision.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Despite locking in the Democratic Party’s 2024 nomination with the support of more than 14 million primary voters, the 81-year-old Biden bowed out of the White House race following a fumbling debate performance against former President Donald Trump. Biden did so under pressure from allies who increasingly raised concerns about his age, mental acuity, and electability. Vice President Kamala Harris, with Biden’s endorsement, quickly garnered support and became the Democrats’ presidential nominee. CNN reported that Pelosi privately told Biden that polls showed he could not defeat former President Trump and that he could hurt other members of his party in down-ticket races if he did not bow out. Pelosi also did an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in which the former speaker emphasized she would support whatever decision Biden made about his political future — even though the president was insisting at the time he would not leave the race. This reportedly emboldened more Democrats to turn on Biden. There have been some reports Biden was frustrated at Pelosi, among others, for pressing him to step aside. However, Biden insisted during an interview on ABC’s “The View” in September that his relationship with Pelosi was “fine” and claimed that he was “confident” that he would have beaten Trump in the election. On the podcast, Pelosi suggested to Freeland that Biden may have experienced “some unease,” but stressed they have been friends for decades. The lawmaker also contended, “There may be some people around him who haven’t forgiven me for my role,” before she emphasized, “but in any event, we just have to win the election.”

There are only a few shows remaining on the Eras Tour. It’s been the must-see concert event for more than a year. With millions of fans flocking to sold-out stadiums, this tour helped make Taylor Swift a billionaire. And not just America’s, but also the world’s sweetheart.

However, this person isn’t excited, “She’s putting all these mothers in debt for these kids. This girl is all about the money. Every minute is something she Hawking.” But this one hopes for all good things in Taylor Swift’s career, “I hope this makes her happy and content with life. We hope and pray that she does not destroy herself in many ways that we have seen other celebrities destroy themselves.

'Because of that scene I just performed, they kept me in the film'

A woman was in the Oregon forest camping in an area that she was familiar with. While sitting and eating lunch, she noticed a Bigfoot walking about 300 yards from her.“My encounter was on a summer morning in 1995 in Oregon, east of Oakridge, while I had taken my truck and little chainsaw on firewood run for my camp. Not the usual endeavor for a woman at 50 years old.I had to camp about 20 miles east of Oak Ridge on a forest-access road. All the way to the end where the road ended was a grove of old-growth trees more than 250 feet tall. Here two large creeks merged and the trout fishing was incredible; peaceful quiet and serene, I never felt uncomfortable there. I felt watched over.One morning while out on a wood run. I stopped at a spring pond on top of the mountain. At the end of that pond my favorite place to have lunch. Birds there will land in my hand to take food. Never saw humans in that area. They had no fear. As I was eating my sandwich, looking out over the forest just below me, I saw someone walking towards my position in the distance. It looked to be a person but as it drew closer, maybe 300 yards away. I realized by the height, the length of its strides, and that it was ducking under the lowest branches of the ponderosa pines, which are the only trees growing in that low cal altitude - you know how high up the lowest branches of that tree species are.I stood there watching it come closer. No fear in me, just an incredible feeling of awe and joy. It stopped and just stood looking at me from maybe 50 feet. After a few moments, I raised an arm in greeting and a few seconds later, it raised its arm, turned, and strode off through the forest until I could no longer see it. To this day I feel it had caught my scent on the wind blowing past me in the direction he came from. Curiosity drew it to seek me, that human female high in the forest alone, he had no harm in mind for me or I would not be here.I left that mountaintop that morning with the knowledge that they exist and a feeling of wonder that he came to visit me out there. I've not been to that mountaintop since that day, not because of fear but because of respect it is their home out there. I never told this story not just to avoid ridicule because I could care less if people believe me or not, I'm a great deal of Cherokee. I never spoke of that day because I feared for the safety of the Bigfoot family that lived there. I do not want some yahoos going hunting to ‘kill them a Sasquatch’. I am Kathleen Dunham and I am proud that a Forest King showed himself to me."Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmtV3yrFaLk**********TERRIFYING ENCOUNTERS!

A Hobby Lobby worker was helping at the register when a tall, slender, middle-aged, very pale, graying-blonde man strangely asked about a leather bracelet she was wearing.I received the following account:"I used to work at a Hobby Lobby in Fort Worth, Texas before I moved out. While helping at the register one afternoon, this tall, slender, middle-aged, very pale, graying-blonde man came through alone and bought a few small odds and ends. Usually people at Hobby Lobby either buy a bunch of stuff or a set of things that are pointed and have obvious use together. This guy bought 4 random things that didn't seem to match up whatsoever. I didn't remember seeing him around at all until helping up front, and my job was mostly to patrol the store to clean, help customers, loss prevention, etc.I hadn't said a word to him because I was there to help the cashier when he asked me about the leather bracelet I was wearing. Nondescript, no markings, very simple. My best friend made it for me years before when he was getting into leather working, and I wore it most days since then, and still have it tucked away here with my things. I explained that my best friend made it for me, and he said back, "So it means love then." He smiled so kindly. I can seldom compare it to anyone else and told me to take care of it, my friend, and myself. He turned and left, and never saw him againIt was such a surreal interaction for no real reason. I am not a religious person at all, but even now, I can't shake the feeling that that man was an angel or something. Not in a biblical sense, but some kind of higher being. I genuinely can't express what this guy felt like any more than that. What's more the cashier didn't know who I was talking about, she was dumbfounded. Nobody recognized this guy at all.All of that said, I was an addict at this point in my life. I wasn't using it at work, but I was spending a lot of time getting loaded and looking into the occult and spirituality as a means of making sense of the world when I was high. So I may have also just been looking for it. But then how did nobody see this guy? I don't know.I think about that little interaction with alarming regularity. I've cleaned up since then and got a good career as a paramedic. My friend still works in leather. He's getting married next year. I wore that bracelet for years. It still just means love to me."

The witness and a friend are walking through a local cemetery in Rossville, Illinois when they observed a quadrupedal pale humanoid moving quickly through the headstones.I received the following account:"Back when I was in high school my friend and I saw something I've begun referring to as a crawler. This was in Rossville, Illinois. Nighttime and in a cemetery. I think it was probably late summer or early fall because I don't remember it being too cold out. Would have been around 2010. Pretty sure the moon was full of close to it because visibility was pretty good.My friend and I used to walk this loop. We would leave her place and go down a block to a side road that led to a park. We would then turn left and cut across the park to the side entrance of the cemetery. The cemetery and park sat at the very southwest corner of town. Beyond that were just woods and corn fields. If we went straight across the cemetery it would take us to another side road that then led to the main street, back to where her house was.We made it to the cemetery and were walking the main drive that split the property in half. There was a sudden noise that made us both stop. My friend started laughing nervously and asked if I had heard the noise. I told her I had seen what made the noise.To our left, I had seen something running behind the headstones. It was on all fours, but humanoid. It had extremely pale skin and no hair and looked very thin. I remember it was so pale it almost reflected the moonlight. It moved so fast (too fast for any human I've ever seen on their hands and feet) that I couldn't see many details. It was in total profile, so I never saw the facial details. The way it ran was animal-like as well in that it had that gait where its feet came forward almost between or past its hands. Watch a video of a big cat or wild dog running to see what I mean.We were both terrified. We just stood there panicking and listening to it moving around, just out of sight, while we called one of her friends to come meet us and take us the rest of the way home. Her friend, a very typical high school boy, arrived and naturally wanted to stay in the cemetery and goof off for a while. For some reason with him there acting dumb, it was less scary, but I remember it just kept making these wide circles around us. It always stayed out of sight, but you could hear it as it moved. Occasionally it would come a bit closer, then seemed to dart further away again.Eventually, we left. I spent a while researching it and even reached out to a paranormal group in Champaign for advice. The guy I talked to had never heard of it but wanted to document what we saw. We met up with him and did an interview, but the group never did an investigation.Fast forward a few years and I'm living in Aurora, Colorado. I met one of my closest friends in about 2012. We really hit it off because we were into the paranormal. When I eventually told him about what I had seen, his jaw hit the floor. He told me he had seen the same thing and told me his story.He described exactly what I had seen, but he had seen it under a porch while living in Thornton. It was crouched down and squatting. He thinks he startled it while it was eating because he said it was hunched over something it was holding. He comes from a Navajo/Apache background, and when we first met his best guess was Skinwalker or Wendigo. But then and especially now he said he had doubts about either of those things being the answer. He was dating a girl at the time whose mom claimed to be a medium. She said she thought it was something that someone "woke up" and that now it was angry. We both have serious doubts about that one.The stranger part came when he and I brought it up. We both started having very intense nightmares about it. His were worse than mine and lasted much longer. This was also punctuated by 6 months filled with a lot of bad luck and anxiety for us. I always sort of brushed this off as us just psyching ourselves out, until I sent my story into a podcast. After it was read, another listener sent in their story. They described what my friend and I had seen, and also described the sightings as being punctuated by nightmares. I couldn't write that off because he spoke about his nightmares in detail, and they matched my friend's nightmares exactly. I have never given out details of what actually happened in either of our nightmares.I've read a ton of other stories by other users and people on the internet. I've dug through mounds of lore and cryptid lists. I still don't feel like I have an answer to what this thing is. My best guess at this point is that the nightmares aren't coincidental and that this is interdimensional. It seems like it can interact with physical things around it, but I've never heard anyone give a first-hand account of being physically attacked or even touched. I've speculated on what it could be for hours, and the only conclusion that I've come to is that I don't feel like there is an actual concrete answer. It doesn't act exactly like this or that cryptid. I think it might be something that's been around and inspired other cryptids and paranormal tales. But I don't think it's a wendigo, skinwalker, ghoul, etc." N**********TERRIFYING ENCOUNTERS! INTENSE, RAW FEAR! | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!
