Former President Donald Trump said in a Fox Business interview on Friday morning that immigration is a bigger economic threat to the US than inflation.

"The border is a bigger problem than inflation," Trump said during a lengthy call to guest host David Asman.

Trump's immigration policies cut off 2 million of the 3 million workers the US economy needs, Insider's Jason Lalljee and Andy Kiersz reported last week. Still, he floated this claim with no evidence or specificity on undocumented immigrants harming the job market.

Trump's downplaying of inflation also runs counter to the Republican Party's recent messaging, which has sought to hammer President Joe Biden on rising prices.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio tweeted: "Biden is eating lobster in Nantucket for Thanksgiving, while you struggle to afford groceries at home." And GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida recently called inflation "a gold mine for us" when it comes to attacking Biden.

Mounting economic discontent has become a serious problem for Biden's presidency and the Democratic Party as his approval ratings have hit historic lows.

As he often does in interviews and at his rallies, Trump mentioned that he studied at Pennsylvania University's Wharton School of Finance after allegedly cheating on his SATs to transfer from Fordham University to Penn to claim authority on a speculative opinion on inflation.

"So I graduated from Wharton, and I guarantee you they're right," Trump said, referring to the Congressional Budget Office's findings on Biden's Build Back Better Act. The agency said the bill won't bring in enough revenue to be "paid for" and avoid running a deficit.

"They're talking about it's actually $5 trillion," Trump said shortly afterwards about the CBO score, which clocked the total cost of the social spending billat $1.7 trillion, not $5 trillion.

"That will make inflation, bring inflation to a level nobody's seen before," Trump continued even though the report does not make any assessments about inflation.

While firing off other economic takes, Trump also claimed that "within a year I would have been bigger than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined" in oil production.

At another point, Trump called on Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to resign over voting for Biden's infrastructure bill and allowing it to pass. He also repeated his lie about winning the 2020 election, with no pushback from Asman,and falsely claimed that Biden's vaccine mandates are causing supply chain issues, most of which originate overseas where the US president has no jurisdiction.

Although Trump wanted to continue speaking past the half-hour mark of the show, Asman had to cut him off before moving on to a segment about the markets being down over concerns surrounding another COVID-19 variant.

During a November 23 Fox News interview, former President Donald Trump was sharply corrected by frenemy Sean Hannity live on air. Newsweek reports that the duo was discussing the FBI's infamous Russia probe.

Investigator John Durham, who was appointed to look into the initial treatment of alleged ties between the U.S. and Russia, has come highly recommended by Trump and his allies. They also heavily criticized the FBI probe, particularly when it came to the bureau's reliance on the infamous Steele dossier. "The Durham report you know, it's come out. It could have been a little earlier, but it's unbelievably completed. I would imagine..." Trump began, only for Hannity to cut across him to clarify, "It's not even out yet, though."

Trump then doubled down on "the foundations" of Durham's report while Hannity attempted to clarify matters. Durham has yet to issue any findings, and the probe is still ongoing. Russian analyst Igor Danchenko was indicted by a grand jury on five counts of making false statements to FBI agents, during 2017 interviews surrounding the Steele dossier, on which he was a researcher, per Newsweek. Trump, meanwhile, maintains there was no collusion with Russia in the 2016 election. Trump swerved the conversation to Durham's report after Hannity asked him about his intentions for 2024, about which the former president has remained vague.

With the release of Tiger King 2 on Netflix this month and a subsequent lawsuit from that woman Carol Baskin, Joe Exotic is back in the 24-minute news cycle. Im not sure he ever left, despite being incarcerated in federal prison after a 2020 conviction of attempted murder-for-hire and violations of animal welfare laws.

I somewhat famously interviewed Joe Exotic in September 2016 when he had been kicked out of a Donald Trump fundraiser at the home of Hunter Miller, Barry Switzers son-in-law.

A year and a half later, I conducted another Joe Exotic interview at the State Capitol on April 11, 2018, near the end of the teacher walkout. Moments before the interview, Exotic had filed to run for governor as a Libertarian, so I asked his thoughts on the historic revenue-raising bill passed just prior to the walkout by the Oklahoma Legislature. (Joe Exotics answer was similar to then-candidate Kevin Stitts.)

I also asked Joe Exotic whether he was still mad at President Donald Trump, a question that evoked a pretty good one-liner from Oklahomas favorited mulleted maniac. Its too bad I didnt remember I had this recording when he and his advocates were asking Trump to pardon him last year. Fortunately, Joe recently wrote a letter calling Trump a fool for not pardoning him.

So with Joe Exotic once again back in the public eye, what better time could there be to empty my digital notebook into the trashcan of the internet?

You can read a transcription of this Joe Exotic interview below, or you can listen to the 83-second recording, if you want to hear what a human Pall Mall sounds like.

Tres Savage: Im guessing you recorded a video in front of a bunch of tigers talking about this, but whats your feeling on the teacher walkout?

Joe Exotic: You know, I support the teachers 100 percent, because the educational system in this state has got to be improved. But we aint got to raise taxes to do that, and one thing that Im against is they raised [the tax on diesel by six cents], and it just costs our own school buses $1.2 million, approximately. Theyre robbing Peter to pay Paul. And the smartest thing Ive seen, at least this morning, is theyre considering consolidating superintendents, and thats where most of our money needs to come from. But instead of taxing people, Id like to see us go back to vehicle inspections.

Tres Savage: If youd have been governor, would you have signed the revenue bill that they passed?

Joe Exotic: No.

Tres Savage: You wouldnt have signed it? You would have vetoed it?

Joe Exotic: No. I wouldve vetoed the whole thing.

Tres Savage: Anything else? Whats the message around the state coming to you?

Joe Exotic: Well, we got to hold people accountable, OK? Especially departments like the health department.

Tres Savage: You still mad at Donald Trump?

Joe Exotic: Am I mad at Donald Trump?

Tres Savage: Yeah, you got thrown out of his fundraiser. Thats the second-most viewed video weve ever gotten on our YouTube page.

Joe Exotic: Donald Trumps got some issues. I think instead of draining the swamp, he filled it full of millionaires. But were gonna fix Oklahoma for the people, for a change.

Tres Savage: I appreciate it.

Joe Exotic: Thank you, sir.

In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot.

The Trump campaign formally requested a recount in the state of Georgia on Saturday, November 21. The day before, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had certified President-elect Joe Biden's win and then Georgia Governor Brian Kemp duly certified the appointment of a slate of electors, but President-elect Joe Biden's margin of victory was within 0.5 percent, which meant that the campaign had the right to ask for a formal recount.

At this point, the chances of flipping anyone's electoral votes had dwindled to zero. Trump's people focused on signature matching for mail-in ballots, but ironically the recount involved only rescanning all of the paper ballots, not addressing the issue of signatures.

But Donald Trump's strategy had shifted to consolidating his supporters around a general sense of distrust: a belief that there had been cheating and fraud. No one in the White House really believed that there was any way to overturn the election.

During the day, the president addressed his fellow heads of state at a G-20 virtual meeting, reportedly telling them he was looking forward to working with them "for a long time," which all interpreted as a statement that he was not ready to concede the election. Trump then boasted about the U.S. military, economy, and COVID-19 vaccine development.

Trump tweeted in the third person: "President Trump has done many great things (biggest tax & regulation cuts in history, Space Force, rebuilding our military, fixing the V.A., the Wall), but perhaps the most important of all will be what he is doing now, exposing the massive corruption in our Electoral Process."

Then he went to play golf at one of his own courses in Virginia.

COVID continued to wreak havoc in the White House. Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani's son and a White House aide, tested positive for COVID. So did Donald Trump Jr. "He's been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines," a White House statement said.

An organization called Women for America First filed a permit application for a rally to be held at the Lincoln Memorial on December 12, again to protest the results of the 2020 election. (The group's original application for a rally in Freedom Plaza was denied because of inauguration preparations.)

"Women for America First is a pro-Trump, female led group," said the Secret Service in a "Protective Intelligence Brief" issued on January 4, 2021. "The group was the center of organization for both the November and December protests. The group plans to host a 'March for Trump' bus tour from California to Washington, DC, arriving on the January 6, 2021."

Its Facebook group called "STOP THE STEAL" had already been shut down, after gaining hundreds of thousands of members in just days. Before its deletion, the group hosted an events section, which publicized rallies organized by multiple groups occurring across the country. Amy and Kylie Jane Kremer, heads of Women for America First, then took a Facebook group called "Boot Pelosi" and rebranded it as a "March for Trump" group. It promoted the November 14 protests and issued a list of recommended influencers, an amalgam of conspiracy theorists, COVID deniers, white nationalists and anti-Islam activists.

Kelly O'Brien, who would later be arrested for her role on January 6, decried in a Facebook group the silencing of pro-Trump groups: "We will not be controlled. It is illegal. We have a duty to Our Country and Our Constitution. TO NOT COMPLY! I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees. PATRIOTS UNTIED [sic]."

NEW YORK (AP) Former President Donald Trump is endorsing Rep. Paul Gosar, one day after the Arizona Republican was censured by the House of Representatives for posting a violent cartoon video that depicted a character with his face killing one with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs.

Trump, in a statement, hailed Gosar as a loyal supporter of our America First agenda and highly respected in Arizona, and said he has my Complete and Total Endorsement! The statement made no mention of the Houses rare rebuke just the fourth in nearly 40 years which also stripped Gosar of his two committee assignments, on the Natural Resources and the Oversight and Reform panels.

Gosar has said the video, which was produced by his taxpayer-funded office, had been mischaracterized and was not intended to be a threat. In addition to Ocasio-Cortez, the the video also depicted Gosars character attacking President Joe Biden with swords.

Gosar is no stranger to controversy. Hes made appearances at fringe right-wing events, including a gathering in Florida last February hosted by a man who has promoted white supremacist beliefs, and earlier this year looked to form an America First Caucus with other hard-line Republican House members that aimed to promote Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, meanwhile, has called the censure an abuse of power by Democrats and signaled payback should Republicans retake the House majority next year.
