Kennedy, Jr yesterday evening (9/16) as the commentator’s “Tucker Carlson LIVE” national tour stopped at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Over 6,000 attendees heard discussion of issues ranging from Sunday’s second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump to immigration and even the federal government’s response to COVID-19 including whether Trump bears any culpability for vaccines produced during Operation Warp Speed. Elder returns to his nationally syndicated SRN talk show this evening (9/17), which will feature highlights of a Donald Trump “town hall” in Flint Michigan, being moderated by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. That event – which begins tonight at 7:00 pm ET – will also be distributed live on the Salem Radio Network longform news channel to affiliates.

Wayne Allyn Root Prays for Trump. Colorful commentator Wayne Allyn Root, host of a nationally syndicated radio show on Talk Media Network (TMN) and two national TV shows on Real America’s Voice TV, was the opening speaker for former President Donald Trump at his Las Vegas rally on Friday (9/13)… and then landed his 16th interview with Trump on Saturday in his suite at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. At a time when interviews with the former president are a common talk media occurrence, Root tells TALKERS the interview was significant for several reasons. “First, while I’ve done 16 interviews with President Trump (even he admits this might be the all-time media record), he was always my guest on the phone… this was my first exclusive, face-to-face, one-on-one TV interview. Second, this might have been the last interview he did before Sunday’s assassination attempt. I’m so proud I opened and closed the interview by telling him, ‘My fans and I pray for you every day. We appreciate everything you’ve done for us and this country. Thank you and God bless you.’ And third, when President Trump said a certain slide about illegal immigration saved his life… I corrected him and said, ‘God saved your life. And he continues to protect you – because I believe you are the chosen one – chosen by God to save this country, and economy, and secure this border, and make America great again.’” Root concludes, “I’m so proud I said all of that considering what happened the next day that could have changed the future of this country. He needed to know how much he is loved and appreciated by the American people.”
