    Trump travels to Texas to record Joe Rogan’s podcast and criticize Harris on immigration

    Austin, TX – Donald Trump tried Friday to turn a major Kamala Harris celebration into a line of attack related to his favorite topic, immigration.

    Hours before Harris appeared with superstar Beyoncé in Houston, Trump made his own stop in Texas and accused Harris of hobnobbing with “woke celebrities” but not with the families of people who have been killed by migrants.

    With the election 11 days away, Trump and Harris both took a detour from their travels to battleground states for brief forays into solidly Republican Texas. Neither believes the state is competitive, but they are using it as a backdrop to send a message about the issues they hope voters will have in mind when they cast their ballots . For Trump, it’s border security. For Harris, it’s the right to abortion.

    Trump’s trip to Texas, his second stop in a border state in two days, comes as the former president escalates his already dark and apocalyptic rhetoric against illegal immigration.

    “We’re like a trash can that the rest of the world can dump people into that they don’t want,” Trump told supporters Friday in Austin. Trump continues to promote the unfounded idea that foreign governments are actively sending criminals to the United States.

    Harris said the remark was “just another example of how he really demeans our country.”

    “The President of the United States should be someone who elevates the discourse, speaks the best of us, and invests in the best of ourselves, not someone like Donald Trump, who constantly belittles and belittles the people American,” Harris told reporters in Houston.

    Throughout the campaign, Trump regularly appeared with grieving relatives of people injured or killed by people living in the country illegally. On Friday, he handed over the microphone to the mother of a 12-year-old Texan girl, Jocelyn Nungaray, whose body was found in June. Prosecutors have illegally charged two Venezuelan men in the United States with capital murder.

    “She was just a kid, and because of the Biden-Harris policies that we have here…she’s not here anymore,” Alexis Nungaray said.

    At a rally Thursday in Arizona, Trump criticized Harris for the Biden administration’s record at the border, which he said had “unleashed” an “army of migrant gangs” that are “waging a campaign of violence and of terror against our citizens.”

    At an event in Las Vegas later in the day, Trump claimed that cities had been “invaded and conquered” by violent immigrants, adding: “We have a lot of cities that haven’t been infected yet.” » Trump has long echoed tropes on immigration by describing migrants as carriers of disease, dating back to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Trump calls immigration the issue that won him the White House in 2016. He accuses Harris of perpetrating “a wicked betrayal of America” ​​and of having “orchestrated the most egregious betrayal of any leader in American history has ever inflicted on our people,” even though crime is down.

    While migrants have been accused of some high-profile crimes that Trump repeatedly highlights, research has shown that immigrants – including those who entered the country illegally – are accused of fewer violent crimes than American citizens.

    He also spread false theories that Democrats would register immigrants without legal status to vote.

    In Austin, Trump will also meet with Joe Rogan, the nation’s most-listened to podcaster, creating a new opportunity for the Republican nominee to emphasize the hypermasculine tone that has defined much of his 2024 White House bid. should be released on Saturday.

    Rogan interview highlights Trump’s emphasis on masculinity

    Trump has made masculinity a central theme of his campaign, appearing on podcasts targeting young male voters and using surrogates who sometimes use foul language.

    At a Trump rally Wednesday, former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson called Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz a “weak man” and likened Trump’s return to the House Blanche to a father who comes home ready to punish his misbehaving children.

    “When Dad comes home, do you know what he says?” » asked Carlson. “You’ve been a bad girl.” You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now.

    Rogan and Trump have a complicated relationship. Rogan previously said he refused to host Trump on his podcast before because he didn’t want to help him.

    Earlier this year, Trump criticized Rogan after the podcaster said then-candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. was the only person running for president who made sense to him. Kennedy has since suspended his candidacy, supported Trump and joined him on the campaign trail.

    “It will be interesting to see how much Joe Rogan gets booed the next time he steps into the UFC ring???” Trump wrote on his social media site in August, referencing Rogan’s experience as an Ultimate Fighting Championship commentator.

    The podcaster is known for his hour-long interviews on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” ranked No. 1 in the United States, according to Spotify charts. He calls women “chicks” and once laughed when a comedian friend described repeatedly forcing young female comics to have sex.
