While speaking at Tuesday’s memorial for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), President Donald Trump recalled a testy moment during the 2015 presidential primary when he gave out Graham’s personal phone number. The story, which sparked outcry at the time, was met with laughs. “He was a force of nature, and I will miss him greatly. As you remember, Lindsey and I did not exactly get off to the best of starts running against each other,” Trump said. “Back in 2016, Lindsey said something rather nasty on his fight to becoming the next President of the United States. So, naturally, I did something that I shouldn’t have done. I shared his personal cell phone number with the millions of people that happened to be watching that particular day. As I made a speech, a very important speech, I remember the number (202) 228-0292. If anybody wants to give it a shot.” “His phone exploded. He said, I had that number for 20 years. His phone totally, I don’t know what he did with it, but it exploded,” Trump added. “That was the beginning of a friendship in a way.” Graham called Trump a “jackass” back in 2015, which prompted the latter to give out Graham’s number while speaking in South Carolina. “[Graham] said, ‘Can you mention my name?’ I say, ‘Yes, I will.’ And he gave me his number,” Trump said at the time. “And I found the card. I wrote the number down. I don’t know if it’s the right number. Let’s try it.” A representative confirmed to ABC News the number belonged to Graham at the time. “I don’t know — it’s three or four years ago — maybe it’s an old number,” Trump also said. “Your local politician: He won’t fix anything, but he’ll still talk to you.” Graham later tweeted, “Probably getting a new phone. iPhone or Android?” Watch the above via Fox News.The post Trump Jokes About Giving Out Lindsey Graham’s Phone Number During Savage GOP Primary first appeared on Mediaite.

Forrest Galante joined The Joe Rogan Experience this week and warned Rogan he was going to go on a “f*cking tirade” after talk about The Gates Foundation, a charity founded by Bill and Melinda Gates. Galante accused the Gates Foundation of ruining a freshwater fishery in the Cahora Bassa Delta, all in the name of wiping out malaria. “Do you know what they did fucking in the Cahora Bassa Delta with their mosquito nets?” Galante asked Rogan. Rogan told his guest, who has been on the podcast before, that he was unaware, and Galante warned him a tirade was on its way. “Dude, I’m gonna go on a f*cking tirade here,” Galante said. “Please do,” Rogan said. Galante explained that a freshwater fishery was destroyed because people were using mosquito nets to catch fish. He said: I totally pirated your thing. I’m sorry, but I’m gonna go on a f*cking rant here. They gave all these people living in the Cahora Bassa Delta, which is the breadbasket of the Zambezi Valley, meaning, like, where more fish are born. It’s a nursery for fish. Right. Not just there, but this is a good micro example. They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to ‘avoid malaria.’ Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets? They fished with them. They fished with them. Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can’t get through. So guess what? These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa, where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden, you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years. The Gates Foundation has posted positively about their efforts to combat malaria with mosquito nets. Galante continued his “tirade” as Rogan grew more and more shocked. They don’t give a sh*t about malaria. They have their own way of dealing with malaria. They sit in smoky huts at night, they sleep with a campfire. Everything else, yes, they still get malaria, some of them, but… [TheTopNews] Read More.48 mins ago
- Cumulus Gains Approval to Extend Chapter 11 Filing Deadline
As Cumulus Media continues to await the thumbs up from the Federal Communications Commission on its Chapter 11 reorganization, a federal bankruptcy judge has extended its exclusive rights period. Last Friday, Judge Alfredo R. Pérez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas approved the motion to extend Cumulus’ filing deadline for a Chapter 11 plan until Oct. 30, and its deadline to solicit acceptances for a plan until Dec. 29. The news of the approval was first reported by Inside Radio. Cumulus initially requested the 120-day extension on July 2 out of an “abundance of caution,” stating in its filing that while its Chapter 11 proceedings “are steadily progressing towards conclusion,” its emergence out of Chapter 11 remains tied to the FCC’s regulatory approval process. The media company explained in its filing that although it has diligently executed the required long-form license transfer applications, the timing for commission approval is outside its control. Cumulus expects that it will exit bankruptcy shortly after FCC approval and other remaining conditions. Under Chapter 11 rules, according to attorneys at Fraser Trebilcock, a debtor initially holds an exclusive 120-day period to file a plan without interference from outside creditors. Courts can extend this exclusivity period up to a maximum cap of 18 months. Once exclusivity expires, third-party creditors are free to submit competing reorganization plans. Cumulus is seeking to eliminate $600 million in debt with this process. It said this would eliminate substantially all of its remaining debt and significantly strengthen its financial position. The company filed a “prepackaged” restructuring in April, and the bankruptcy court quickly signed off on it. [Do you receive the Radio World SmartBrief newsletter each weekday morning?

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday, praising his close friend’s decades in U.S. politics and the military. Trump jested at one point during his lengthy remarks that Graham, one of the most prominent hawks in the GOP, “never saw a war that he didn’t like.” As Trump stuck to the script of his remarks, he praised Graham for getting Justice Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court, calling it “one of the greatest moments the Senate has ever seen.” “It was a truly monumental moment in Senate history. I believe it was Lindsey’s finest hour, perhaps. But no matter how heated things got in Washington, virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey,” Trump continued, before eventually pivoting to foreign policy: Well, not everybody — but it sounds good, “not everybody.” He was a tough cookie. Okay, I have to veer from this for a second — he was that tough cookie, darling, but he was beautiful. But he was also ready with a joke and a gleam in his eye. After being lectured on the excruciating details of patent law by a fellow senator during a flight, Lindsey declared that he had discovered a new form of enhanced interrogation and torture for the Guantanamo Bay area. He said, “This is really bad stuff — and boring.” And while he was an incredibly hard worker, he was not exactly an early riser, as many of you know. When Senator Tim Scott — a great gentleman in his own right, I can tell you — invited him to a prayer breakfast at 8:30 a.m., he told him, “Tim, if Jesus Himself comes back before 10 a.m., I ain’t going.” Yet, while he was always quick to laugh, no one ever doubted the gravity of his mission. Above all, Lindsey Graham believed in a strong America. He wanted a strong America. He had unwavering faith in the righteousness of American power and prayer. He was extremely hawkish — I’ll tell you, he never saw a war he didn’t like. Only his true friends would understand that, but he wanted it for the good of our country. He felt in his bones that our destiny is to win, and that his job was to do everything he could to ensure our enemies would lose. It was this conviction that led him to serve 33… [TheTopNews] Read More.56 mins ago
