Scientology donor Grant Cardone calls for 'slaughter' of Democrats at MSG rally

This morning we explained why it seems so unusual that a major Scientology figure like Grant Cardone, who has donated at least $15 million to church leader David Miscavige’s initiatives, would take part in a key political event like today’s rally at Madison Square Garden.

For many years, politicians from both parties have tended to keep away from Scientology, with some notable exceptions. But we can’t remember a Scientologist like Cardone being invited to speak at an event like this, as GOP candidate Donald Trump goes into the final week of the 2024 election with this rally his campaign called “historic.”

Cardone spoke for about 7 minutes and did not bring up his involvement in Scientology, of course. He described himself as an “educator” and real estate investor, and not an OT 8 Scientologist.

But he did very conspicuously use the word “invalidate” twice in his speech in the way that Scientologists used it, which struck us as odd. Here is his entire address and a transcript of it. Does anything else strike you as something that echoes Scientology’s ways of speaking?

And hey, we hope you go out and cast a ballot on November 5 for whichever candidate. We simply feel that whoever you’re pulling for, it is simply remarkable to see Scientology represented at a political milestone like this.

Hello, New York. How you guys doing? And to everybody that's online right now, you're on, I guess you're on the Internet consuming content that Donald Trump has just literally taken control of the Internet in the last five days here to finish.

And that's where this game will be won. My name's Grant Cardone. I'm an educator, small business owner, and a real estate investor. And in February of this year I came to this great city to make a real estate investment and had to discontinue the deal because of a scumbag liberal judge coming out with a $454 million judgment against Donald Trump.

No, no, it needs to be bigger than that, because folks, here's the deal. I'm telling my wife, I have to cancel these deals, and she says why? I said because if they can do this to a former president, a man that lived in this city, that built this skyline, what can they do to me? What will they do to you? This one decision, by the way, will cost this city — the city of New York — hundreds of billions of dollars of lost tax revenues.

Have you guys ever noticed, go to any of these blue Democratic liberal cities, have you noticed that where they go everything is more expensive? Everything. For instance, New York City, you have the highest rents in the country, you have the highest home prices in the country, you have the highest food prices, the highest transportation, and the most crime. And your politicians want more taxes, not less. This is insanity, folks. OK, why do the politicians in blue cities want to raise your taxes? Because they live off your taxes. This is how they get paid and that brings me to Timmy. Timmy and Kamala.

No, no, bigger than that, come on. That's what I'm talking about. They're going to ruin this country, folks. You guys need to get angry right now. The country's pissed. And I'm not here to invalidate them. The whole world can see their incompetence. They're complete tools of the elites. They're mere puppets. That's right, puppets.

And a little Common Sense — who's got a a little common sense in the room? Just a little bit. And literally the math of a 5-year-old tells you that their policies don't add up. Common sense. For one, she wants to add 87,000 employees to the IRS. For what? Eight hundred billionaires? That's a thousand employees for every billionaire. No, she's here for your pockets, your money, your small business. She's here to audit everybody in this room.

She passed a $3 trillion inflation reduction act that created inflation, didn't reduce it. She promised to build three million homes in her first year — she's never built one house in her damn lifetime. And at the same time, let 20 million homeless people, illegal immigrants, into a country that has a housing shortage. Come on, man, it don't make sense.

She proposes 20 million people to get new businesses. She's going to give tax money to fund 20 million new businesses, while we have 22 million small business owners in America that are breaking even or losing money. And lastly, the most insane of the insane, she wants to tax unrealized capital gains. No no no no. No, this is complete gone.

Not even, not even her simp Mark Cuban can sell this. Even Marky boy says this would destroy the global economy and take the USA down with it. Ladies and gentlemen, Kamala Harris is the least qualified candidate to ever run for any political office in American history. She makes, she makes, she makes her boss look competent.

She's a fake. I'm not here to invalidate her. She's a fake, a fraud. She's a pretender. Her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country. They will. They've already crippled the dollar, manufactured inflation, imported a virus, censored your voices, funded transgender surgeries, and made empty promises to the middle class for 50 years.

This election, this election has to be more than a victory, it needs to be a landslide. We need to slaughter this other people. We need to bring a hundred million votes to Donald Trump. Not 74, not 81, 100 million votes. Can you do it?

Because if you bring a hundred million votes to this man, you send this finger to the elites, and you say we are done. We are done. We are fed up we have had enough. He's given everything. He's given everything. It's us in this room now that need to give the rest. We have to give everything for nine days, OK?

That's not just coming to rallies, it's about putting a sign in your yard, a sticker on your car. It's about donating money. You got to give folks. Today, while you're here, everyone. $5, $10, 25. These elections cost money. If you do that, invest in this election, you will go down as a contributor that will make history. We will be in the history books a hundred years from now.

They will say, they will say, in 2024 something happened in America. Something happened, a phenomenon, and it was galvanized around a bunch of people called MAGA. The MAGA people. The MAGAs. That's right. A MAGA. They will say it galvanized around people called MAGA and a man named Donald J. Trump.

Thank you. God Bless America. Thank you.
