Just about 13 minutes into his speech at a Detroit rally, former President Donald Trump’s microphone cut out. 

On Friday, Trump was in the middle of talking about his tariff policy, calling it “the most beautiful word in the dictionary,” before the microphone was cut off.

“To me, the most beautiful words in the dictionary — it’s not ‘love,’ it’s not ‘respect,'” Trump said before the microphone was cut off.

Right when the mic went down, someone handed him another microphone to try, but it didn’t work either.

Trump moved around the stage while the audience chanted “USA” and “We love Trump,” and some music played.

It took roughly 20 minutes for the microphone problem to be resolved.

“Thank you everybody,” Trump said. “So now what happens is I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company that rented us this crap. I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

“No, when they do that kind of a job, they don’t pay the bill. It’s terrible. They also had a little problem with energy coming into the building. But I’m not blaming it on that,” he continued. “Here’s my plan: Do we have fun? Can everyone hear perfectly now? I don’t like the mic, and I didn’t like it from the minute I started.”

“This is important, because we’re doing things here that are really going to be amazing. Let me know. And if [the microphone] goes out again, I will sue the a** off that company. We’re going to sue them, and they’ll say what a horrible guy Trump is. He’s a terrible guy.”

As he proceeded with his speech, Trump outlined his economic platform, promising to reduce corporate taxes, energy costs, and regulations provided they employ American workers and produce their goods domestically. He claimed that businesses would be subject to a “tough” tariff if they did not produce their goods here.

It was the second time in a week that he had an interruption to an event. He stopped a town hall meeting in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday after it became apparent that several audience members required medical attention.

CBS News cut off both vice presidential candidates' microphones during Tuesday's debate following a spat with moderators. 

Vance (R-Ohio) spoke over the moderators after feeling like he was unfairly “fact-checked” by host Margaret Brennan when he was speaking about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.

“Look, in Springfield, Ohio, and in communities all across this country, you’ve got schools that are overwhelmed. You’ve got hospitals that are overwhelmed. "You've got housing that is totally unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete with Americans,” the GOP vice presidential candidate said in response to a question about immigration. 

“The people that I’m most worried about in Springfield, Ohio, are the American citizens who have had their lives destroyed by Kamala Harris’ open border,” he added.

Brennan then responded to the viewers, saying that “Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal or temporary protected status.”

Following her statement, she began moving on to the next topic but was stopped by Vance. 

“Since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on,” Vance shot back. “So there’s an application called the CBP One app where you can go on and apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status in the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand.

“That is not a person coming in applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years,” he added.  

“Thank you, senator, for describing the legal process,” Brennan said, trying to move things along.

Before she could move on, Walz (D-Minn.) chimed into the conversation. 

“Those laws have been on the books since 1990,” Walz said.  

“That CBP One app has not been on the books since 1990 …” Vance fired back.

Even though they both attempted to keep talking, both of their microphones were muted.

“Gentlemen, the audience can’t hear you because your mics are cut,” Brennan informed the candidates. “We have so much we want to get to. Thank you for explaining the legal process.”

Governor Tim Walz seemed to stumble during the vice presidential candidate debate, confusing Israel and Iran. 

After answering the first question of the night, Walz (D-Minn.) appeared nervous and said Iran when meaning Israel. 

“Iran — er — Israel’s ability to defend itself is absolutely fundamental,” Walz said. “The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States.”

Walz did not go on to clarify whom he believed to be Israel’s “proxies.”

He instead went on to slam former President Donald Trump, accusing him of displaying a “fickleness” toward remaining partners with United States allies and coalitions.

However, Walz did not answer the original question asked. 

To the same question, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance (R-Ohio) replied that he would support whatever decision Israel makes to keep their country safe. 

“Look, it is up to Israel what they think they need to do to keep their country safe,” he said, “and we should support our allies wherever they are when they’re fighting the bad guys.”

“I think that’s the right approach to take with the Israel question,” Vance added.

In what is being called the “worst line in any 2024 debate,” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said he has become “friends” with school shooters.

During Tuesday’s first and only vice-presidential debate of the election cycle, Walz (D-Minn.) baffled the internet when he answered a question about his changing position on banning assault weapons.

“I sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents. I’ve become friends with school shooters. I’ve seen it,” Walz said.

While the Democrat presumably meant that he has become friends with parents whose children were killed in school shootings, the internet was quick to make fun of his word scramble.

The 45th president even took to Truth Social following the incident, asking if Walz is “insane.”

Second time he has said, “I’ve been friends with school shooters.” What does he mean by this? Is he insane?
