Edith Marrow: Welcome back to the archive. I’m Edith Marrow, keeper of the tape. Today is July 31st. We’re walking the years oldest to newest, listening to what he posted on this exact calendar date, and checking our measurement lines along the way.

Edith Marrow: We begin in 2022. The post is short, sharp, and focused on media contracts. He writes that One America News is 'AMAZING' with 'great ratings,' but claims Verizon will terminate it for 'purely political reasons.' He calls the move 'illegal' and tells viewers the OAN owners are 'smart and very wise' and will 'figure it out.'

Edith Marrow: Then there’s a second post in 2022 about President Biden. He claims Biden’s Covid was 'misdiagnosed' and that the President actually has Dementia. He suggests Biden might move to a Wisconsin nursing home, making a claim about residents having 'strength and energy to vote' — which he describes as cast 'illegally.' No market line is provided for this date in 2022.

Edith Marrow: Jumping to 2023. The tone shifts to the legal and the electoral. He argues that 'Radical Left Democrat Thugs' shouldn’t be allowed to investigate him during his campaign, asking why they didn’t file charges two and a some number years ago. He labels the current state a 'some number World Nation' regarding airports, elections, and borders.

Edith Marrow: He also attacks polling and rivals. He claims polls show him far ahead of Biden, citing one poll with a '71 to 12 points up margin.' He blames Fox News for not reporting this, calling Bret Baier’s interview a 'SOFTBALL' one. He insists he got his rival elected or kept him at '3%' in the past, and declares that rival is now 'GONE once more.'

Edith Marrow: In 2024, the posts are longer, listing grievances. He claims Kamala Harris co-sponsored a '$32 trillion-dollar socialist takeover' of healthcare that would outlaw private insurance and give free taxpayer-funded care to 'all illegal aliens.' He lists her positions on ICE, border patrol, and gun confiscation in rapid succession.

Edith Marrow: The second 2024 post focuses on border security. He claims over 'some number members' of the Venezuelan Gang 'Tren de Aragua' are plotting ambushes in the U.S. He cites an incident where a 'Venezuelan illegal alien criminal' shot a police officer in Texas, and the death of a '12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray' by two illegal aliens. He warns that if Harris stays in charge, every week will bring 'rapists, bloodthirsty killers, and child predators.'

Edith Marrow: By 2025, the focus turns to trade deals. He declares tariffs are making America 'GREAT & RICH Again,' stating that 'ONE YEAR AGO, AMERICA WAS A DEAD COUNTRY, NOW IT IS THE “HOTTEST”COUNTRY.' He details a call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, agreeing to extend a deal for '90 Days' where Mexico pays a '25% Fentanyl Tariff,' '25% Tariff on Cars,' and '50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminum, and Copper.' He lists the attendees of this meeting, including Vance, Bessent, Rubio, and Lutnick.

Edith Marrow: Now we land on TODAY, July 31st, 2026. The first post concerns a 'Fund' and Senator John Cornyn. He claims Cornyn never had a problem with the fund until he endorsed Cornyn’s primary opponent. He states he gave up any payments for himself, even for the 'illegal and unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago,' which legal experts called 'weaponization.' He insists millions agree with him due to his 'landslide Presidential win' and urges the approval of Todd Blanche as Attorney General.

Edith Marrow: The second 2026 post targets Indiana State Senate President Rodric Bray. He claims Bray foolishly led the state senate, causing 'almost every Candidate' to lose. He says Bray will not seek re-election and was met by voters at the polls. He thanks Indiana for its support in his Presidential Election, which he calls the 'Highest Vote in the History of the State,' and for getting rid of 'wayward Senators.'

Edith Marrow: So, what changed across the years? The specifics shifted: from media contracts to dementia claims, from polling margins to tariff percentages. But the scale of the claims never did. He consistently describes his own standing as 'landslide' and 'highest in history,' frames opponents as 'thugs' or 'fools,' and positions himself as the sole victim of a 'weaponized' system.

Edith Marrow: What never changes is the voice. It’s always him, speaking directly to the tape, asserting his own centrality in every narrative, from OAN ratings to Mar-a-Lago raids. The archive is clear: he doesn’t just report the news; he claims it, reshapes it, and declares victory in every era.

Edith Marrow: This has been your ON THIS DAY capsule. I’m Edith Marrow. Keep your tape running.

Edith Marrow: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not.
