  • Fox News Contributor Slams Trump for Signing ‘A Great Deal For Iran’
    On Wednesday’s edition of Special Report With Bret Baier, Fox News contributor Leslie Marshall slammed President Donald Trump’s memorandum of understanding with the Iranian regime, describing it as “a great deal for Iran.” Appearing late on Wednesday night while departing Versailles, Trump announced the MOU had been signed. Citing a senior U.S. official who said, “We’re going to just work together and see if we can… do some things to build trust,” Fox News’ Bret Baier said, “That is a big change in how they’re talking about the Iranian regime.” “Yes, definitely,” responded Marshall, “especially when, you know, all the experts say that this regime is worse and more hard-lined than the regime prior.” She continued: This is a great deal for Iran. Iran comes back richer. When you look at items 6, 7, 11 in the 14 points, they get money. $300 billion. Yes, our taxpayers don’t pay for it. You have sanctions lifted, you have assets that are going to be unfrozen. What do we get? What do we get, Bret? We get a strait, that was opened before, reopened. We get a temporary hold in no tolls. And, in addition to that, what do the Iranian people get? They haven’t had a regime change. And where is the verification — the specific verification within these 14 points of this MOU to make sure that Iran is more than just promising that they’re not going to have any nukes? And, by the way, they can temporarily have nukes, and the president today said it’s okay for them to have missiles. This is why you have bipartisan support against this. This is why today, I Leslie Marshall, agreed with [former South Carolina Gov.] Nikki Haley, [former Vice President] Mike Pence, [former Rep.] Trey Gowdy [R-SC] — I could go on. It’s a bad deal when people like them and I are agreeing on this.

  • ‘U.S. Senator, Secretary of State’: Fox’s Tarlov Rips Watters’ Claim Tha...
    During Wednesday’s edition of The Five, Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov ripped co-host Jesse Watters’ claim that Hillary Clinton is “just a female,” listing off her former titles: “U.S. senator, secretary of state.” The segment began with a discussion on the former first lady and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee’s recent comments that the initial decision to run former President Joe Biden in 2024 was a “terrible mistake.” Biden dropped out of the race in late July of 2024, leaving no time for the Democratic Party to hold a primary — instead nominating former Vice President Kamala Harris. “Historians will look back in 100 years,” began Watters. “They’re not gonna look at the fake news stuff that Jessica traffics in every day. They’re gonna see the big stuff. The world-defining moments. The rewiring of world trade. The crime, the economy, the border, what we’re doing internationally. That’s the stuff. Hillary Clinton is gonna be a footnote, and it’s just ’cause she’s a female. ” “Aw, that’s terrible,” chimed in fellow co-host Greg Gutfeld. “It’s true! What has she done?” protested Watters to laughs from Gutfeld. “She’s just a female — that’s it. A female that does what men do.” “U.S. senator, secretary of state,” argued Tarlov. “It’s just a job,” said Watters. “What does she do at the job?” “And she just talks at the YMCA?” asked Tarlov. “Does she do a great job at the job? No! She does a terrible job,” responded Watters. “She does a terrible job, just like many men have done terrible jobs at those same jobs.” “Stop it,” said Tarlov. “Rarely do I say this is beneath you, but it’s actually beneath you to be doing this.” “You’d be surprised,” Watters concluded. “He can prove you wrong, because he’ll never break the chain,” added Gutfeld.

  • Sen. Tuberville Defends Trump and Vance Amid Criticism of Iran Deal: ‘Let’s ...
    Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) vociferously defended President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance amid the bipartisan criticism they have received over the Iran deal. The U.S. and Iran signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding this week as a prelude to potentially ending the war. The memo states that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will end its naval blockade on Iran, and at least $300 billion in financing will be made available “for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Much of the criticism of the arrangement is from those who were gung-ho for the war in the first place. That includes Fox News host Mark Levin, who called the memo “unthinkable.” On Wednesday, Tuberville appeared on Kudlow on Fox Business, where the host expressed skepticism that the Iranian government would adhere to the terms. “Now, maybe this is not the right language,” Larry Kudlow said of the latest publicly available version of the memo. “That’s a possibility. We don’t have the right language, because they have to prove to us, do they not, that their behavior is changing? And of course they have a terrible track record.” “Well, they don’t have a track record,” Tuberville replied. “They’re awful. They’re batting 1,000% at lying to us every time they do some kind of deal. But I trust President Trump. I trust Vice President Vance. We don’t need to listen to anybody up here on Capitol Hill. Let’s trust these two, and they have been at this now since they’ve been in office.” Kudlow responded by insisting the U.S. has “crippled Iran.” “We’ve crippled them,” he said. “They’re on their knees. They may not admit it, but they’re in surrender mode. Trump destroyed the country for decades to come, whether they like that or not, that’s the reality. I just hope we take advantage of it in these memos and other deals.” Watch above via Fox Business Network.The post Sen.

  • Elie Honig Torches Todd Blanche’s Epstein Role: ‘Turns Out, That Was Bullsh*...
    Left: MS NOW, Right: CNN On Wednesday, via New York magazine’s Intelligencer, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig offered some blistering criticism of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and his repeated claims that politics played no role in his decision-making, emphasizing, “Turns out, that was bullsh*t.” Honig pointed to fresh reporting from New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman’s and Jonathan Swan’s new book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, which details behind-the-scenes discussions between Justice Department officials and White House aides as President Donald Trump’s administration grappled with fallout surrounding the Epstein files. Honig noted that during Blanche’s confirmation hearing to become deputy attorney general, he said, “Politics would play no role in my decisions as deputy attorney general.” He similarly rejected suggestions that political considerations shaped decisions regarding the Epstein files, declaring in late 2025, “Absolutely, positively not.” “Turns out, that was bullsh*t,” Honig wrote. According to the reporting cited by Honig, Blanche and other senior Justice Department officials worked closely with White House personnel as public scrutiny intensified over the department’s handling of Epstein-related records. Honig argued the revelations show officials were focused on “minimiz[ing] political damage to the president and his administration” rather than pursuing a purely prosecutorial approach. Among the episodes highlighted was a strategy to seek the release of grand jury materials connected to Epstein and convicted associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Honig wrote that Blanche viewed the move as a low-risk PR play because courts were unlikely to approve the requests and, even if they did, the records would not be expected to reveal significant new information. Honig even argued that this controversy could complicate Blanche’s path to Senate confirmation as attorney general, particularly after 19 Epstein victims publicly opposed his nomination. He concluded that the acting attorney general now “owns the Epstein matter — all of it, with nowhere to run.”The post Elie Honig Torches Todd Blanche’s Epstein Role: ‘Turns Out, That Was Bullsh*t’ first appeared on Mediaite.

  • Facing an EV Surge, Australia Fights to Keep Radio Front and Center
    Commercial Radio and Audio CEO Lizzie Young speaks at WorldDAB Automotive 2026. Read James Careless’ additional WorldDAB Automotive 2026 coverage of Radio France CEO Sibyle Veil’s keynote speech and research firm Fifty5Blue’s recent car audio findings. The popularity of electric vehicles is putting radio’s foothold in the car at risk. Those were the words of Lizzie Young, the CEO of Commercial Radio and Audio, the association representing Australia’s major commercial radio networks. Young spoke at WorldDAB Automotive 2026 on June 11, in Frankfurt, Germany. WorldDAB is the global body that promotes the DAB/DAB+ digital radio standard. She described EV penetration in Australia as a sudden escalation. The market is being driven by skyrocketing fuel costs, Young explained, which are in turn exacerbated by ongoing geopolitical conflicts. Those factors have pushed Australian EV adoption to record highs over the last year, she explained. “For the first month ever in May, an electric vehicle was the number one selling car in Australia,” Young said. In such a rapidly changing environment, Commercial Radio and Audio said it is aggressively fighting to ensure a permanent broadcast presence across every incoming dashboard in Australia. Chief among these unique challenges, Young said, is the country’s vast size, which requires a hybrid approach incorporating AM, FM, DAB+ and streaming audio to cover it all. Nationwide radio coverage is necessary to ensure public safety, she explained. “It is critical because of that, and the fact that many Australians move away from these climate disasters in their vehicles, that we have robust emergency broadcasting capabilities in the car,” she emphasized. To ensure that radio retains its dashboard dominance, Australian radio partners have invested heavily in a rebuilt, unified mobile app, the RadioApp, that features both commercial and public broadcasters. Additionally, CRA spent the past year ensuring radio is discoverable on emerging platforms by forging strategic partnerships with DTS AutoStage, RadioPlayer and Visteon. The advocacy group is also pushing the Australian government to include radio in its smart speaker legislation. “We were told that we would have some legislation to review in March and that has now been pushed out for some very valid reasons about some very other significant issues,” Young said. “But we are confident that we will have legislation being drafted in the second half of this year.” Ultimately, Australian broadcasters are not expecting automakers or politicians to simply hand them a legacy safety net. “We really see… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • NEW: Trump’s ‘MAGA Warrior’ Drops Congressional Bid After Sexting Scandal ...
    Screenshot via YouTube Jackson Lahmeyer, a pastor and once Trump-backed candidate for Congress in Oklahoma, announced he was pulling out of the race on Wednesday amid an ongoing scandal surrounding his relationship with a former Miss Oklahoma. Trump pulled his endorsement of Lahmeyer on Wednesday and backed his GOP runoff challenger, Mark Tedford. Tedford and Lahmeyer both advanced to the runoff on Tuesday night with only 4,500 votes between them. “I greatly appreciate Jackson Lahmeyer’s hard work under difficult circumstances — He has always been with me, and I will always be with him,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding: But, when it comes to the current Congressional race for Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, I will be supporting America First Patriot, Mark Tedford. Mark is Pro Trump and MAGA all the way! A Proven Leader, Mark has served his Community as a Highly Respected State Legislator and Businessman, prior to running for Congress. Mark Tedford has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Lahmeyer announced he was quitting soon after Trump’s post, writing, “After prayerful consideration with my wife, Kendra, and my team over the last twenty four hours, I’ve made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for Congress. I do not want to be a distraction to my family, my church, and the great people of Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, who deserve a strong conservative voice representing them in Washington.” On Monday night, The Daily Mail revealed the relationship Lahmeyer had with the former beauty queen, including revealing intimate text messages, in an article titled, “Scandal engulfs Trump’s ‘MAGA warrior’ on election eve: Read megachurch pastor’s red-hot texts to Miss Oklahoma – and furious wife’s vile accusation that shatters family-man image.” The Daily Mail quoted Caitlin Simmons Key, the former beauty queen who also said she worked on Lahmeyer’s campaign, as texting the candidate, “I enjoyed those lips.” The report also showed other suggestive texts, including Lahmeyer offering Simmons Key an invitation to go to his hotel room. He later claimed the texts were “cherry-picked” to create the wrong impression. Lahmeyer, a father of five, released a statement ahead of Tuesday’s primary vote in response to the Daily Mail article: Today, a distorted story from a British Tabloid was released just two days before my election. This matter was already dealt with privately… [TheTopNews] Read More.
