From what I am hearing, the interview did not go well. Total tape time with takes and edits will be less than 18 minutes. CNN will not provide a transcript of the raw interview. CNN Host Dana Bash shared this picture during the taping.

President Trump was asked his opinion about Kamala Harris refusing to answer media questions, appear for press conferences, or sit down for media interviews.
President Trump immediately pointed out the negotiated terms for Kamala Harris interview with CNN (broadcasts tonight), includes the interview being pre-taped with edits and campaign approvals.
“Why isn’t it live? It’s an interview that’s going to be taped, edited, and then put out. That’s not even an interview. And then she’s doing it with her Vice President sitting there. So she’s not very smart. When they ask her a question she can’t answer, she’s just going to look at him.”

RFK Jr did a solid interview with Dr. Phil that deserves some attention for a few reasons. The interview is about a week old and took place immediately following RFK’s announcement to exit.
First, BIG SMILE. Considering the timing, logistical coordination and location analysis of both Trump and RFK Jr’s interview with Dr Phil, CTH can now assert with assurance the rollout of the Kennedy dropout, transition, MAGA endorsement and subsequent public information therein, was in the works for a long time before it became public.
The Trump campaign had this RFK Jr MAGA entry in the works as part of the post DNC-Chicago strategy. Dr Phil was/is a planned and agreed participant in the rollout. The construct and the timeline also align with Corey Lewandowski rejoining the Trump campaign as a senior advisor shortly before the MAGA “unity” merge.
The fact that we can now see this as a long-planned and intentionally organized rollout operation is a good thing, a very good thing. That reality mitigates, but doesn’t eliminate, the IC influence concern.
Additionally, many within our community of CTH Treepers travel the deep weeds of political research, and our collective commentary is read by a wide swath of well-known political analysts and media pundits. The answers given by RFK Jr during the Dr Phil interview provide solid affirmation for positions we eventually took in prior discussions.
Second, within this specific segment, RFK Jr is talking about his decision to exit the race. Kennedy admits from the inception of his campaign he has always pulled more votes from Donald Trump (57%) than he did from the Democrat nominee (Biden or Harris). This is a point that was debated on these pages for quite some time; we can now put the argument away.
In the 2024 election, RFK Jr’s presence hurt President Trump more than Biden/Harris. This is just a datapoint: From the outset Kennedy always knew he was hurting Trump and assisting Biden/Harris through his candidacy. This is not to present anything controversial about his recent decision to exit and endorse Trump, nor is the highlight intended to diminish RFK Jr., this reality is simply just a datapoint to consider. RFK Jr always knew he was hurting President Trump more than helping Joe Biden (or Kamala).
In the final minutes, Kennedy opened up to Dr. Phil about why he not only endorsed President Trump but also decided to actively campaign for him.
His first reason was clear: he’s terrified of a potential Walz-Harris administration, which he believes is on “the wrong side” of… pic.twitter.com/gVewErneYy

Third, if you have followed the Trump campaign and family closely, you will note the MAGA issue of chronic childhood disease; as it relates to the issue “Make America Healthy Again” being at the forefront of President Donald Trump’s thinking as a policy initiative; comes from one place, Melania Trump. President Donald Trump did not have an epiphany on an issue close to the heart of RFK Jr., Melania Trump has been quietly focused on the issues around childhood illnesses and environmental impacts for a long time. With the First Lady as the strong counsellor of record that truly matters, it makes sense for a positive, personal influence.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I’m not surprised, I’m just angry. According to Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office leading the investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump, Matthew Crooks acted alone -no coconspirators- and the FBI has no idea what his motive was.
According to the representative for the “best men” the Federal Bureau of Investigation has, Crooks might have been a leftist or a far-right extremist, they are just not sure.
What the FBI does know is that no one taught or helped Crooks make complicated explosives, and they are sure he acted alone… for some mysterious reason…. that culminated in a bullet passing through the top of President Trump’s right ear.
The pretending that permeates the FBI is infuriating to me. It is almost difficult to write or share this stuff.
WASHINGTON – Six weeks after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the FBI still doesn’t know what motivated the shooter.
“Extensive analysis of the subject’s online search history as well as his specific online activity has provided us valuable insight into his mindset, but not a definitive motive,” Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters Wednesday.
So far, he added, the FBI sees “no definitive ideology … either left-leaning or right-leaning” associated with the shooter, Thomas Crooks.
I do not know much about Mark Halprin other than what I have discerned from watching him sporadically discuss politics for years. However, I have noticed in the last few years he is evolving toward a more sensible, pragmatic and non-pretending type of political analysis.
In this video below, Halprin speaks to something that everyone on the left is avoiding, the known problems with Kamala Harris as a candidate.
Brian Fallon is managing and hiding Kamala Harris, because Fallon and the rest of her handlers know there is very solid reasoning for why Kamala Harris was never considered a viable alternative to Biden before. A few short weeks ago, the professional left were riddled with anxiety over Joe Biden’s mental and cognitive status, while simultaneously those same people did not want Harris as a candidate because they knew she had no skills.
You don’t have to argue with them, just ask any Democrat/Leftists to name the greatest accomplishment of Kamala Harris and you will see them melt in front of you. Nothing about that has changed, and that’s why the DNC/Brian Fallon must hide Harris in order to maintain her ¹polling position. If they let Kamala campaign and talk to the media, she will tank just like Ron DeSantis did (for the same reason).
Listen to Halprin first. He’s right about this, and beyond his accuracy, what he says “might happen” – I would say is a virtual certainty.
“I’m warning those of you who want Trump to lose that by the middle of next month, there’s a real possibility, based on what I’ve seen in terms of public and private data … that Kamala Harris could be where Joe Biden was,” says Mark Halperin. “Only one electoral college path and not a particularly strong hold on it.”

Kamala Harris has yet to give a press conference or sit down with any journalist to discuss the construct of a campaign around her. The media has largely tried to cover for this lack of openness, but even hardcore narrative engineers are starting to become twitchy at the extreme handling of Hawk Tuah Harris.
To deflect attention from the absence of questioning, HT Harris primary handler Brian Fallon, has arranged a scripted interview with CNN. Together with her sketchy running mate, Tim Walz, Mrs Harris will be questioned by Dana Bash in a taped interview which will be edited, smoothed and broadcast on CNN fake news tomorrow at 9pm ET.
WASHINGTON DC – Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will face questions from CNN anchor Dana Bash in an interview expected to air 9 p.m. Thursday, the network announced Tuesday. The interview will take place in Georgia as the vice president is on a bus tour through the battleground state. (read more)
The lawyers representing the campaign of Robert F Kennedy Jr have successfully removed RFK Jr from the ballot in Nevada after coming to an agreement yesterday with DNC lawyers who were suing to keep him off the ballot.
Essentially, team RFK JR just dropped their argument, acquiesced to the DNC position and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice. That removes RFK Jr from Nevada. [Filing Here] This is the same process the lawyers used to get Kennedy off the ballot in Pennsylvania.
That said, Michigan and Wisconsin are not removing Robert F Kennedy Jr from those state ballots.
MICHIGAN – […] Kennedy is on the ballot in Michigan as a candidate for the Natural Law Party, which nominated him at its convention earlier this year. Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for the Michigan secretary of state’s office, confirmed to NBC News that “minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election.
WISCONSIN – […] In Wisconsin, the state’s election commission met Tuesday to certify ballot access for presidential and vice presidential candidates. Even though Kennedy requested to withdraw his nomination petition as an independent candidate, the commission ultimately voted to decline that request, according to an archived video of the proceedings published by WisconsinEye, a nonprofit public affairs network.
“The statute literally says, ‘Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination. The name of that person shall appear upon the ballot except in case of death of the person,'” Ann Jacobs, the chair of the commission, said to another commissioner struggling with the idea of keeping someone on the ballot who didn’t want to move forward with his candidacy.
“You’re giving me this touchy, feely: ‘I feel like this shouldn’t be the law.’ The law in this case is crystal clear,” she added. “I don’t disagree with you it’s weird but I don’t see we have any discretion here.” (MORE)
♦ SUMMARY: RFK Jr is gone from ballots in the battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania and now Nevada. Not Michigan and Wisconsin.
