The Pat Kenny Show. With Timber Living Log Cabins. Saturday and Sunday from 10am. On Newstalk. Conversation that counts. But first, even as the United States and Iran continue their tit-for-tat hostilities in a very unpopular war at home, we're on day seven of the bombings now, as you heard, Donald Trump used a primetime address to the nation on Thursday not to talk about those pressing concerns, but rather to elevate his years-long push to raise doubts about the legitimacy of US elections and dispute his own 2020 loss to Biden in an appeal for more restrictive voting laws ahead of those November midterms. In a bloated and meandering 25-minute diatribe, Trump touched on all the hackneyed talking points that earmark his presidency, U.S.
military might, the trans agenda, illegal migration, criticism of the previous administration, and the usual USA Uber allies rallying cries.
I'm proud to report that our country is safer, stronger, and far wealthier than it has ever been before. We are doing great. Less than two years ago, we inherited an economic and social disaster.
What prompted Pat Kenny to open the show with Trump’s primetime speech claims?
After the worst inflation in 48 years, the wide open borders with millions and millions of people pouring in from all over the world, including criminals of all types and 11,888 murders, many of whom killed more than one person. We had transgender for everybody, men and women sports, crime ravaging our cities, and the whole world was laughing at us as a nation. But not anymore. Two years ago, our country was dead. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. America is respected like we have never been respected before.
So says Donald. But it was amplification of debunked theories about the election six years ago and his inability to accept that loss that was brought to the fore yet again. Despite those persistent voter concerns about the cost of living, American forces escalating strikes in Iran in a conflict which may become a forever war, and the immigration crackdown facing bipartisan scrutiny for its sometimes deadly and fatal tactics, Trump complained about this one personal defeat back in in January of 2020.
America is back and doing really well, but we still have a major challenge that must be urgently addressed because no country could be great without fair and honest elections. You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness. And that's very simple. No trust means No greatness. For many years, I've called for a bold, swift, and decisive action to protect the integrity of America's elections. Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted accurately in a system, and that is to make that system secure. one where cheating and interference are not just difficult, but virtually impossible. Unfortunately, the system we have today falls catastrophically short of that standard.
Tonight, I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure. This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really exposes like levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation and foreign interference. Just as disturbingly, this vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you. The American people are beautiful, are great American people. But that all changes right now.
Well, his criticism was not simply reserved for Joe Biden and his administration, but to others like China, of course, as well as the deep state and members of the U.S. 's own intelligence community, throwing more fuel to the fire of conspiracy theories which are so rife throughout the American political discourse of 2026.
The People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data ever. in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.
