Claim : Jack Black Said “Don’t Miss Trump Next Time” At Concert!
Some people are claiming that Jack Black said “Don’t miss Trump next time” at a concert after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump!
Benny Johnson : Jack Black in front of an audience: “Don’t miss Trump next time”
Kyle Becker : “Don’t miss miss Trump next time.” @JackBlack makes an absolutely sick remark about the Trump assassinat*on attempt at a Tenacious D concert. There is no place for this kind of hateful rhetoric in America.

Truth : Jack Black Did Not Say “Don’t Miss Trump Next Time”!
This is yet another example of fake news surrounding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Video Was Recorded In Australia
Let me start by confirming that the video is genuine. However, it was recorded in Sydney, Australia; and not in Canada or the United States, as some are claiming or suggesting.
While people can be heard laughing at the comment, the audience were largely Australians who play no part in American politics.
Fact #2 : Jack Black Never Said “Don’t Miss Trump Next Time”
More importantly, Jack Black never said “Don’t miss Trump next time” in that video. It was his Tenacious D bandmate, Kyle Gass, who made that comment.
On 14 July 2024 – one day after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the rock duo known as Tenacious D – Jack Black and Kyle Gass played at the ICC Sydney Theatre.
During that concert, they celebrated Kyle Gass’ 64th birthday, with a robot presenting a birthday cake to Kyle on stage. Jack Black sang a birthday song to Gass, and then asked him to “make a wish”.
At that point, Kyle Gass looked at the camera and said, “Don’t miss Trump next time”, at which point the 9,000-strong crowd can be heard cheering and laughing.
There are several videos circulating online, but the one below appears to be the most common. Regardless of which video you saw – they all show the same thing. It was Kyle Gass, not Jack Black, who said “Don’t miss Trump next time”.
So you have to wonder – did those people who claimed that Jack Black said “Don’t miss Trump next time” actually watched any of those videos???

Fact #3 : Kyle Gass Birthday Wish Was Reported Widely
Kyle Gass’ controversial birthday wish was reported widely by the mainstream media, and also drew condemnation in both the United States and Australia.
Daily Mail : Jack Black’s Tenacious D bandmate makes vile concert outburst about Trump shooting
New York Daily News : Jack Black’s Tenacious D bandmate to shooter: ‘Don’t miss Trump next time’
The Independent : Jack Black’s Tenacious D under fire for Donald Trump joke hours after shooting
7News : Jack Black’s Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass suffers intense backlash over sick Donald Trump joke hours after assassination attempt
Variety : Jack Black’s Tenacious D Sparks Uproar After Kyle Gass Remarks, ‘Don’t Miss Trump Next Time’
So how is it possible for people to still claim that Jack Black made that controversial comment???

Fact #4 : Australian Senator Called For Tenacious D Deportation
In fact, one Australian federal senator was apparently so outraged, he called for Tenacious D to be deported:
Tenacious D should be immediately removed from the country after wishing for the assassination of Donald Trump at their Sydney concert.
I condemn in the strongest possible way the call to political violence by Tenacious D in Sydney on Sunday.
To advocate and or wish for the assassination of a President is egregious, disgusting, filthy, evil, and not acceptable in any way, shape or form.
This was not a joke, he was deadly serious when he wished for the death of the President.
While it is questionable that the senator would know about Kyle Gass’ state of mind when he made his birthday wish, what is clear is that it was not Jack Black who made the comment.
It does not appear that the Australian government is moving to deport Tenacious D over the comment, but the concert on Tuesday night (16 July 2024) has been postponed until further notice.
