- Hannity Awkwardly Tells DeSantis, ‘I Didn’t Know That It Was Legal to Marry ...
Fox News host Sean Hannity awkwardly told Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday that he “didn’t know that it was legal to marry a first cousin” in the governor’s state of Florida. DeSantis joined Hannity to discuss a new Florida law allowing him and other state officials to designate certain groups as terrorist organizations in an attempt to combat what the governor’s press release on the legislation called “the application of foreign and religious laws—including Sharia law—that violate constitutional rights.” On the heels of the bill signing on Monday, DeSantis also urged state lawmakers to ban marriage between first cousins in Florida. Hannity asked the governor about his push to end the practice, leading to an incredibly odd exchange between the two. Read their exchange below: HANNITY: This week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is urging state lawmakers to ban first cousin marriages, a practice that is shockingly still legal and one he links to what he is calling “stealth jihad,” and he also signed a law empowering him and other state leaders to designate groups as terrorist organizations. Here with more is the governor himself, the governor of my free state of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis. Governor, good to see you. Um, maybe I’m just a little ignorant here. I didn’t know that it was legal to marry a first cousin. DESANTIS: Well, in a lot of states, it’s not. Florida needs to get with the program on that one. It’s obviously part of cultures that are antithetical to American values, and so that’s something that we will get done one way or another. But on the broader issue of not allowing Islamist groups to get public money from things in Florida, whether it’s education or any of the other things that we’re doing, you’ve got to draw very clear red line, and the red line I’ve drawn is we’ll spend millions on public safety, millions on education, but not one cent for jihad. And so we have to identify groups that are supporting these organizations. And it may not be that they’re personally committing attacks, but if they’re funding them for providing material support, you know, that’s something that our state has got to recognize and then act appropriately, and in the legislation I did also has a ban on any use of sharia law not just at the state level. We don’t want to end up like Europe, where they… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Accuses CNN of Airing a ‘False Statement’ From Iran in Heated Truth So...President Donald Trump is lashing out at CNN for airing a statement from Iran on the newly-announced ceasefire — which the network insists is indeed genuine. In a heated post on Truth Social Tuesday night, the president ripped CNN for reading on air a statement he dismissed as a “FRAUD.” “The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows,” Trump wrote. “The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a “legitimate” headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible “reporting.” Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.” The statement Trump was referencing came from Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, who said the following: In response to the brotherly request of PM Sharif in his tweet, and considering the request by the U.S. for negotiations based on its 15-point proposal as well as announcement by POTUS about acceptance of the general framework of Iran’s 10-point proposal as a basis for negotiations, I hereby declare on behalf of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council: If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations. For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations Approximately 20 minutes into her show on Tuesday night, CNN’s Erin Burnett read from that statement. But she also read from a second statement sourced to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. That statement was more strongly-worded and had a distinctly more pro-Iran bent — with the council declaring “great victory.” Burnett did not quote that particular comment, but did refer to some of the council’s stronger claims. “‘The regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz, under the coordination of the armed forces of Iran — thereby conferring upon Iran a unique economic and geopolitical standing,’ — which sounds like in a translation, Iran saying that they see this as acknowledgment that they control… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Confusion Ensues Amid Contradictory Claims About Ceasefire
Sipa via AP Images A “regional official” is claiming Iran will continue to charge tolls for cargo ships using the Strait of Hormuz following President Donald Trump announcing a two-week ceasefire. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday shortly after Trump’s announcement about an extension that both Iran and Oman will continue to “charge fees on ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz,” citing a “regional official.” Iran has been charging tolls for weeks in the strait, since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes, where roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply moves through. The official, who was reportedly involved in U.S. and Iran negotiations, claimed the money raised would be used for “reconstruction.” But in his post announcing the ceasefire, Trump claimed Iran agreed “to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.” In a Tuesday morning Truth Social post, Trump threatened to wipe out Iranian “civilization” if U.S. demands, like opening the Strait of Hormuz, were not met by an 8 p.m. deadline. Trump later extended the deadline by two weeks after accepting a proposal from Pakistan, which has been mediating negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. Trump wrote: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! Trump said later he received a 10-point proposal from Iran that he believes is a “workable basis” for negotiations going forward. “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate,” he wrote. “Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.” Trump’s White House lashed out at CNN over the posting of a statement from an Iranian official claiming victory over the U.S. ATTENTION @cnni: As @POTUS just said, Iran’s official statement is linked in his TRUTH below AND posted by the Iranian foreign minister.… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - House Democrat Credits Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene With Pushing T...
AP Photo/Alex Brandon Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) credited Tucker Carlson and Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene with pushing President Donald Trump toward his Tuesday agreement to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Trump announced on Tuesday night that he had agreed to a request from Pakistan to extend his Iran deadline by two weeks, claiming he would pause attacks on the country during that period. The president had previously threatened to bomb civilian targets in Iran if a deal with Iran was not reached by 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Both Carlson and Greene have been consistently harsh critics of the president’s war in Iran since it began over a month ago. In response to Trump’s Easter Truth Social post demanding that Iran “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell,” Carlson slammed the president for his rhetoric and use of profanity. Greene took it a step further, calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment after the president claimed on Tuesday that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if his deadline for Iran was not met. Khanna claimed that it was this criticism from figures like Greene and Carlson, as well as conservative pundit Ann Coulter and the American people writ large, that moved Trump towards diplomacy mere hours before he had planned to attack Iran’s civilian infrastructure. The congressman slammed Congress in his remarks, made in a video posted to social media, claiming the body “barely made a whimper.” Trump backed down. No credit to Congress, which barely made a whimper. Credit to the American people—progressive activists & anti-war conservative voices like @TuckerCarlson, @mtgreenee, and many more. We need an anti-Epstein class, anti-war, pro-working class coalition. pic.twitter.com/yQFtSXBQfA — Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) April 8, 2026 Read his remarks below: As a human being and as an American citizen, I am relieved that Donald Trump has accepted a ceasefire and withdrawn his threat to destroy Iranian civilization. But let’s be clear, this did not happen because of Congress, which barely made a whimper. This happened because of the force of the American people– not just progressives and liberals, but conservatives like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and even Ann Coulter spoke out against the horror of threatening genocide against another people. This tells me one thing: the only thing that will save this country, the only thing that will save our democracy, is a broad, populous social… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Iran Launches Missiles at Israel Minutes After Trump Announces CeasefireIran launched missile strikes on Israel within minutes of President Donald Trump’s announcement of a two-week pause on U.S. strikes against Iran. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday night that he had agreed to a request from Pakistan to extend his Iran deadline by two weeks, claiming he would pause attacks on the country during that period. Though the Israeli government has not yet issued an official statement, multiple outlets have reported confirmation from sources that the country has agreed to take part in the ceasefire. Despite these tenuous steps towards a cessation of hostilities, air raid sirens went off multiple times in Israel after Trump’s announcement. Fox News reporter Mike Tobin reported live from Tel Aviv, telling Fox host Jesse Watters that the alerts of incoming strikes had occurred within minutes of the president’s Truth Social post. “Jesse, as soon as we got the ceasefire, we got a bunch of missile fire. Wasn’t five minutes from the Truth Social post to the point where the phones started alerting that missiles had launched from Iran,” he said. “The first of the missiles was intercepted, and the shrapnel landed outside of Jerusalem, not causing any problems.” As Tobin continued to describe the cluster bombs that had just exploded over Tel Aviv, he was interrupted by an additional alert signaling yet another strike. “What we saw here in Tel Aviv were these cluster bombs like you see on your screen right now,” Tobin said. He continued: They break up and look a bit like a Fourth of July firework and usually has one bright point that comes streaking down to Earth. But the bomblets themselves, they shine bright when they first break up, then they get dark as they cool off, and then they explode when they hit the ground. And it looks like I’m getting an alert for one more missile. So I’m counting six missiles to this point, and looks like one more, so we’ll go up to seven as the phone is telling me that more missiles, at least one more missile is inbound. We saw a missile to the south of the country, meaning that the Houthis got in the act and fired a missile in that direction, but what I understand is that missile failed in flight. Tobin went on to report that the Israeli government was dissatisfied with the ceasefire deal, though the country had agreed to join… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- CNBC Host Asks if Trump’s Threat of Genocide Is Bullish for Markets: ‘Bigger...Shortly after President Donald Trump threatened Iran in downright apocalyptic and genocidal terms on Tuesday, CNBC’s Sara Eisen wondered whether such a development would affect investors’ mindsets. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president posted on Truth Social. Hours later, Trump announced he was suspending strikes on Iran for two weeks as negotiations continue. The suspension of attacks came two days after Trump said he would bomb Iran’s civilian infrastructure if the country did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” Shortly before Trump announced the pause in hostilities, on Tuesday’s Money Movers, Eisen asked CNBC commentator Mike Santoli about the president’s “a whole civilization will die” post. “So, Mike, let’s talk about tonight,” Eisen began. “This deadline that President Trump has set, 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?” “I think the market is trying to stay balanced on both feet, because I think it’s hard to discern that type of rhetoric as a promise of something very destructive and long-lasting happening to distinguish it from what somebody might say, if you want to sort of build up a lot of hoopla before you de-escalate,” Santoli responded. “And I honestly think the market is confused about that. It’s the duration of this crisis that matters, I think, a lot more than the next move. We don’t even know if eight o’clock is gonna stick. We’ve had these deadlines pushed up, so you have to remain open to a lot of scenarios.” After Trump announced the two-week ceasefire, oil fell 16% as of this writing and stock futures surged, with the major indexes climbing about two percent.
