- CNN Anchor Plays Supercut of 10 Years of Trump’s ‘Rigged’ Election Rhetori...
CNN host Kasie Hunt focused in on the danger of President Donald Trump’s continued rhetoric about “rigged” elections, in the wake of his new claims about the Los Angeles mayor’s race, where Republican Spencer Pratt is bringing up the rear. On Sunday’s Meet The Press, Trump brought up the 2020 presidential elections, telling Kristen Welker, “The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it’s happening again right now in California.” When Welker asked for “evidence” to support his claim, Trump answered, “All I have to do is look.” Former Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) told Hunt that this is just “where we are with our politics,” and that Trump “is just the largest mouthpiece” for the skepticism right now. “I do think we need to focus in on — President Trump has, since he has been on the public stage as a presidential candidate in a serious way, continued to say over and over and over again that our elections are rigged,” Hunt said. “And it is worth remembering that the people that support him will believe what he says. He influences their opinions. We have gone all the way back to 2016, the last 10 years. This is what the president has sounded like over that time.” Hunt then played the supercut featuring nine separate times Trump made claims of “rigged” elections. Hunt continued, “And again, just to circle back, one of those clips we saw was on January 6th of 2021, where a mob of people then left that speech, stormed the United States Capitol — took action based on what the president was saying when he claimed that the election was rigged.” Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) addressed McHenry’s point that some Democrats seem to have jumped on the “rigged” election bandwagon. “But I think it’s irresponsible for leaders of any stripe at any level to say that without evidence,” Olszewski said. “I’m someone who won an election by 17 votes, who then oversaw elections at the local level. We have people who are working very hard to make sure these elections are safe and secure. It took weeks for my manual recount to get redone. The most important thing is that it got done right. Do I want to see California count their ballots faster? Absolutely. Will it instill more trust? Absolutely. But that does not mean that these elections are rigged. And I… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Stinks to High Heaven!’ Speaker Johnson Claims ‘Rigged’ Election Accusa...
Screenshot via CNN CNN’s chief congressional correspondent, Manu Raju, spoke to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Monday and asked him about President Donald Trump’s ongoing claims that the Los Angeles mayoral race is “rigged” against Republicans. “Speaking of fraud, the president keeps saying that there’s election fraud in the California mayor’s race. What evidence is there to prove that?” Raju asked Johnson while walking through the U.S. Capitol. Johnson replied, “You tell me, Manu. They are counting votes weeks after the election. We have entire nations with huge populations, like India, that can count their votes in 24 to 48 hours.” Raju cut in, “You’re saying it’s rigged, like the president?” “I’m not saying it’s rigged. I’m saying it stinks to high heaven, and everybody knows that. Let’s — let’s — let’s remove the appearance of impropriety. Let’s have — what, what a concept — let’s have votes on an election the day of the election. That’s what many states are able to do. I think California is playing around with us,” Johnson insisted. “But what evidence is there to prove that the election was rigged?” Raju pressed. Johnson replied, “Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream, it is impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here, and that’s a concern. We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system. It is critical to maintain a constitutional republic. We’re going to keep working to pass the Save America Act because it requires, as you know, proof of citizenship and a photo ID to vote. Those are also 90-percent-plus issues in public opinion, and 70 percent of Democrats understand that’s necessary.” Raju shot back, “Aren’t you all just saying that because you lost the election — because the Republicans did not win? Is that why we’re hearing this?” “I’m saying that every leader of all parties should demand election integrity, and if somebody is opposing that, you should look at their motives,” Johnson added, ending the conversation. President Donald Trump and many of his allies have accused Democrats of rigging the vote in LA as Spencer Pratt moved into third place this week as votes continue to be counted. Notably, final polls going into election day showed Pratt landing in third and being shut out of the November runoff.

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) The leaders of major Artificial Intelligence companies were blindsided by President Donald Trump’s plan to discuss acquiring equity in their companies, according to new reporting from NOTUS. Three anonymous sources told the outlet that the A.I. leaders learned from reporters — not the White House — of Trump’s plan to “meet with ‘all the big’ firms about taking ‘pieces’ of their companies, ‘possibly as soon as next week,’” the report said. Aboard Air Force One Friday, Trump told reporters, “I actually have a meeting scheduled in the very short, in the very near future, with — did you know that? — all of the companies. And we’re talking about it, where the American people can benefit from the success of AI.” Trump continued, “There’s something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership with the American public. It would be a beautiful thing.” NOTUS reported, “As of Monday afternoon, the White House had provided no details about when or where the executives of the leading AI companies would be meeting with the president.” The report continued: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pitched the idea of turning over shares in his company to Trump in early 2025 and discussed the matter again with senior officials in recent weeks, NOTUS first reported. But as of last week, Anthropic had not yet discussed the idea, according to a fourth person familiar with the matter, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to reflect private talks. But although Trump claimed he spoke to all top A.I. leaders about his proposal, “Anthropic had not yet discussed the idea, according to a fourth person familiar with the matter,” the report said. NOTUS said if Trump follows through on having the federal government take an equity stake in major AI companies, the move “would be among the most consequential federal interventions in the private sector in modern history.” Spokespeople for OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Google declined to comment on the NOTUS report. In a statement, the White House said only that it’s working “to proactively engage across government and industry.”The post AI Companies Blindsided By Trump Planning For Government to Acquire Equity in Their Firms: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot UFC President Dana White predicted the viewership for his White House event will rival the Super Bowl’s. The claim doesn’t appear to have any basis in reality. The comments came during a recent interview with TNT. While talking about UFC Freedom 250 — the widely-discussed fight night that will take place on the White House lawn — White said: For UFC fans all over the world, this is a very unique experience for everybody; and, you know, we’re expecting Super Bowl-type numbers for this fight. That accomplishment is virtually impossible for a number of reasons. Last year, the relatively-underwhelming Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots had an average viewership of 125.6 million. Although that figure wasn’t enough to set a new bar for the NFL, the game did have set a new all-time media record when its peak viewership hit 137.8 million. For comparison, the UFC’s most-watched event had a peak viewership of 8.8 million on Fox in 2011. On the pay-per-view front, the UFC’s highest mark was set in 2019. Thanks to a main event that featured heated rivals Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, the event earned 2.4 million PPV buys. In fairness to the UFC, the promotion has become much more popular since then. Additionally, the PPV era came to an end when the UFC inked a deal to bring its fights to the streaming platform Paramount+ at no additional cost to subscribers. It can be argued that the UFC is more accessible than ever. Even with those factors working in White’s favor, Super Bowl viewership remains a distant fantasy. Let’s use Netflix’s recent ventures into live sports as a reference point. The abysmal Jake Paul–Mike Tyson fight, for example, had an average viewership of 108 million. After seeing that figure, one might think the UFC could actually have a historic night. There’s one massive problem with that, however. The most recent update on Netflix’s total subscriber count had the figure around 325 million. Last month, Paramount revealed to shareholders that the total subscriber count for Paramount+ was a hair under 80 million. Netflix, the undisputed streaming king with four times the subscriber base as Paramount, still fell nearly 20 million viewers short of the Super Bowl. Barring an unprecedented level of growth in the next few days, UFC Freedom 250 will not come even remotely close to being as popular as… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Top Senate Republican Dismisses Trump’s Demand He Fire Parliamentarian: ‘Tha...
(AP Photo/Tom Brenner) Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) quickly dismissed President Donald Trump’s demand that he fire Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough on Monday. In his latest attack on McDonough Monday afternoon, the president argued that Thune “should immediately fire the Parliamentarian, who treats Republicans, and everything that they stand for, horribly!” “She was put there by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein Obama, need I say more? She is a nasty holdover from Mitch McConnell (A man who has proven to be very disloyal to John Thune!), who decided to keep her because he loved giving Trillions of Dollars to the Democrats, but for the Republicans, including the Wall, where I ended up having to go ‘around him’ to build over 1,000 Miles, and close up our Open Border, he gave NOTHING!” he wrote in a scathing Truth Social post. “She is known as a Radical Left Lunatic that caters to Democrats, and has no respect for Republicans, or Republican Ideology. Just the other night, as an example, she ruled against us on a proposal that would have easily been approved, and should have been, by anyone else. We have every right to change her, and should do so, IMMEDIATELY. As long as she’s there, we will never get our desperately needed, SAVE AMERICA ACT, approved, and put into full force and effect!” MacDonough has forbid Senate Republicans from including the $1 billion in funding for the Secret Service sought by Trump in their reconciliation bill. But despite Trump’s pleas for her ouster, Thune indicated that Macdonough’s job was safe in short order, according to Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio. “Parliamentarian rulings break both ways. You lose a few, you win a few. That’s been true when the Democrats have been in the majority too. That’s a hard job. It’s a very specific skill set. And you need somebody that is going to be a fair referee,” said the Republican leader after being asked about Trump’s comments. Thune just now: “Parliamentarian rulings break both ways.

The case sparked a months long search for the 84-year-old, as multiple ransom notes were found and the Guthrie family offered $1 million reward for her mother’s return. After an extended absence, Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today Show in April. She discussed the move with NBC’s Jenna Bush Hager on Monday, holding back tears as she told Bush Hager the choice was a difficult one. “I can’t really look at you everyday without crying,” she said. “You know, it’s really hard to come back. I’ve been trying so hard to hold it together, and I promise I will.” Guthrie acknowledged the support she received from everyone at the network, telling Bush Hager that she was “happy to be back” despite the challenge. “When I see you in the morning, I know that you see me no matter what,” she told Bush Hager. “Sometimes It’s almost too much, because I feel like to do the job I got to keep it Goethe, pull it together, you know? I’m happy to be back. It’s like the two hours of my day — it’s not that I’m not thinking about it, because I am — but it’s something to do. It brings me a lot of joy to be with everybody. But no, it’s not easy.” She went on to call being back at the show a “respite,” claiming her mother would have supported her choice and told her to “just keep going.” “It’s a little respite. And you are my family. I don’t think if I had any other kind of job I would’ve even tried to come back. I just felt like, what else should I do?” she said. “And my mom would’ve said the same like, ‘Honey, just keep going, just keep going.’ And so, I am.” Guthrie said that her return did not mean she had forgotten her mother. “I know maybe people wonder like, ‘What’s going on? How is she able to do that job? Is she not thinking about it, did she forget?’ No, never. Never,” she said, later adding that “it’s always with me.” “I cry every morning on the way to work,… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
