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.

Aurora, Colorado Residents Confirm Out-of-Control Venezuelan Illegal Immigrant Gang Violence

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) and her Colorado colleagues sounded the alarm on escalating violence attributed to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, a Venezuelan criminal organization, in Aurora, Colorado.

Boebert hosted a listening session to spotlight the breakdown of law and order caused by unchecked immigration and insufficient action by law enforcement.

The roundtable, attended by residents and local leaders, revealed firsthand accounts of gang violence, the failure of sanctuary policies, and the impact of open borders on the community.

Boebert condemned the lack of attention from media and political figures, stating, “The fake news and liberal politicians with an agenda continue to downplay the violence and Venezuelan gang activity in Colorado.”

She accused officials of covering up the violence to maintain their narrative of open borders and sanctuary city policies. She emphasized that elected officials should unite to round up and deport these gang members and protect Coloradans from what she termed a “takeover” of local communities.

Testimonies from residents painted a grim picture of the situation in Aurora. Cindy Romero, a former resident of the Edge at Lowry apartment complex, described the terror of living in a gang-controlled building.

“I have cameras picking them up, moving the guns… I caught a screenshot of them holding a family on my floor by gunpoint,” she recalled. Romero explained that despite numerous calls to law enforcement, little action was taken. “I’ve got bullet holes in my car… I had to leave because I am not bulletproof.”

Aurora resident and small business owner Chet Ellefson likened the conditions to those of a “Third World country,” with doors kicking in and rampant lawlessness.

“There is no fear when it comes to the police,” Ellefson said, describing how even law enforcement hesitates to respond to calls in the area.

Adding to the chorus of concerns, Aurora Council Member Danielle Jurinsky revealed that nonprofits, funded by state and Denver resources, have been placing migrants into unsafe living conditions in Aurora without adequate oversight. “No housing quality inspections were conducted… It’s primed for takeover,” Jurinsky noted.

The event highlighted the inadequacy of current immigration policies. Former ICE Director Tom Homan blamed the Biden administration for releasing millions of immigrants into the U.S. without proper vetting, noting that “98% of the people being released [have] no data on them.”

He further criticized sanctuary cities for providing safe havens for criminals. Homan’s sentiments were echoed by other speakers, including former ICE Field Office Director John Fabbricatore, who pointed to the high recidivism rate among criminal aliens.

The roundtable also underscored the strained relationship between law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. State Senator Mark Baisley and State Representative Ron Weinberg are pushing to overturn laws that prevent local police from cooperating with ICE, arguing that the current restrictions allow violent criminals to remain in the country unchecked.

As the crime wave grows, Aurora residents, law enforcement, and officials face increasing challenges. With tens of thousands of illegal immigrants entering the local Colorado region and local police stretched thin, the impact of this gang violence continues to ripple throughout the community. The testimonies offered during the roundtable are a stark reminder of the consequences of uncontrolled immigration, inadequate law enforcement response in sanctuary cities, and the complete and total failure of the Harris-Biden Administration to protect U.S. sovereignty and citizens.
