- ‘He Has a Knife!’ Nick Shirley Attacked and Chased in New Video on Spain’s...
Right-leaning Independent journalist Nick Shirley was chased by a knife-wielding maniac who was enraged he traveled to the Spanish province of Ceuta to report on the surge of tens of thousands of migrants from North Africa. “He has a knife!” Shirley yelled to one of his pals as he blitzed down the street. The crazed man was shouting “I’m going to stab both of you” as he hunted them down, according to the translation in Shirley’s video report posted on Monday. It’s unclear who the man was, but he appeared to be an angry local, not one of the 60,000 migrants who poured into Ceuta from Morocco last week. A moment earlier, the man was chucking rocks and bottles and insisting Shirley “cut the camera!” The violent outburst sent Shirley and his friend racing away, but the man in an orange t-shirt pursued them further. It was difficult to see the knife Shirley was talking about in the video, which he recorded as he raced away. The video then cut to Shirley getting out of a Spanish cop car. We finished with a knife chase down the hill and then got escorted back up to our car from the Spanish police,” Shirley explained. Earlier in the video, Shirley spoke to several teenagers and young Moroccan men who had entered last week. “Viva Espana!” many of them yelped, while others saluted Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Shirley also toured one of the migrant centers were a grip of the men were being held. “They’re showering out of these buckets, it’s actually really sad to see this,” Shirley said as he examined the facility. Right around the time Shirley’s video posted, President Donald Trump was asked about the migrants flooding into Spain. Trump said his first thought was he had inherited an even bigger illegal immigration mess from ex-President Joe Biden. Watch above. Jason Cohen contributed to this story.

The prosecution collapsed Friday when Pirro’s office dismissed the case against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, explaining that newly disclosed Interior Department records showed the damage to the Reflecting Pool stemmed from a botched installation by contractor Atlantic Industrial Coatings rather than vandalism. Prosecutors said they did not receive the information until after Hearn had already been indicted. Hearn had previously pleaded not guilty. When asked if Pirro dropped the case because “she knew she was not gonna win,” Rohde responded, “Yes. I mean, look, Judge Jeanine — and for supporters of President Trump who’ve watched her for years — she’s being a good lawyer. She’s going to lose this case in court. She’ll be reprimanded and could lose her legal license.” Rohde continued: Bluntly, the president is lying in the Oval Office, and he’s not in a courtroom. If you lie in a federal court, you can lose your law license. She would have been humiliated if she brought this case. There is exculpatory evidence. There was not a giant gash. I was just looking — there’s all these press reports about how the gash makes no sense, there’s no evidence of it, experts say it wouldn’t have mattered if there was one. So, I praise Jeanine Pirro for withdrawing the charges in this case. Days before prosecutors abandoned the case, Hearn’s attorneys argued in a court filing that the government’s own evidence undercut the felony charge. They pointed to grand jury testimony from a National Park Service official who acknowledged the Reflecting Pool already had significant preexisting damage and could not determine what, if any, harm was caused by Hearn. Also on Monday, Trump doubled down on his “vandalism” claims, telling reporters in the Oval Office that he thinks Pirro “choked” and “folded like an umbrella.” Watch the full clip above via MS NOW.The post MS NOW Senior Reporter Warns Pirro Could ‘Lose Her Legal License’ Over Case Trump Wanted first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Dereliction of Duty!’ Tomi Lahren Sides With Dem Governor on Mitch McConnel... Tomi Lahren agreed with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) that something has to be done in response to Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) extended absence from the public. McConnell was first hospitalized June 14 after he was found unconscious in his home. Since then, the Kentucky senator has not been since in public. In fact, the only updates provided on his condition have been statements from his office and a pair of photos of himself with his wife. At the time of writing, McConnell continued to receive care. His extended absence from the public eye has inevitably fueled conspiracy theories — with some even suggesting that McConnell has died. In response to all of the questions surrounding McConnell’s condition, Beshear in late July announced an ultimatum for the senator. “I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve,” Beshear said in a letter, “or resign.” Joined by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) on a recent episode of Tomi Lahren Is Fearless, Lahren called McConnell’s mysterious absence a “dereliction of duty.” “I don’t like the fact that I’m like, ‘Oh, I kind of agree with Governor Andy Beshear on this,'” Lahren said, “but I think it’s the authentic and transparent thing to do to say we’re not being served by somebody who literally cannot serve. And people say, “Well, but he’s a Republican.” He’s not doing anything to my knowledge that makes him a true patriot. “The fact that we have to get proof-of-life photos– how can some of these same people who talked about Joe Biden, Joe Biden, Joe Biden, Joe Biden, don’t say anything about the fact that we’ve got Mitch McConnell having to send proof-of-life photos with his wife? Tim, that should rub everybody the wrong way!” Burchett called the lack of transparency “bogus” and claimed McConnell was being “protected” by a political “machine.”The post ‘Dereliction of Duty!’ Tomi Lahren Sides With Dem Governor on Mitch McConnell first appeared on Mediaite.

- FCC Sets Comment Deadlines for Latest EAS Proposals
Got an opinion about the FCC’s latest batch of proposed changes to the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts, such as allowing EAS functions to be done in software? The commission has published the deadlines to comment. In June, as we reported, the commission not only issued new EAS cybersecurity rules, but it opened a further notice of proposed rulemaking to study and improve EAS and WEA. Now it has announced that comments are due Aug. 31 and replies due Sept. 29. You can file comments here. Comments should refer to PS Dockets 25-224, 15-94 and 15-91. In the FNPRM, the commission proposes changes to “improve the integrity, resilience and effectiveness of emergency alerts, including improving geographic accuracy of alerts, improving the detection and blocking of duplicate alerts, and removing outdated and unnecessary alerting requirements to help encourage broader participation in alerting.” Among other things, it wants to allow radio and TV stations and other EAS participants to use software-based encoder/decoder technology instead of a dedicated EAS hardware device to process EAS alerts. The FCC does not propose to allow EAS to be run from the cloud. The FNPRM also proposes to require authentication of EAS alerts before they are transmitted; to establish a universal alert identification number; to eliminate “outdated WEA geotargeting exceptions that often cause alerts to be received in the wrong locations”; to expand geotargeting options for EAS; to require EAS and WEA to display symbols that match the type of emergency and improve the effectiveness of earthquake alerts to grab the public’s attention; and to retire the 90-character maximum versions of WEA messages. The FCC notice contains many pages of detailed questions about each of those proposals. You can read them in the FNPRM here, starting with Paragraph 41 on page 25.

Showing no signs of slowing down in its effort to expand the K-Love and Air 1 networks, parent company Educational Media Foundation is buying two Class C FM signals from Beasley Media Group as it looks to strengthen its position in Charlotte and Las Vegas. In Charlotte, Nielsen rated market #21, top-40 95.1 WNKS(FM) will go to EMF, while in Las Vegas, market #32, it acquires alternative rocker 107.5 KXTE(FM), licensed to Pahrump, Nev. “Our stated goal is to minister to people in all of the top 50 markets,” CEO Tom Stultz told Radio World in January. “Right now there are only a handful of these markets that don’t have K-Love or Air1 stations.” Charlotte and Las Vegas are not totally new markets for K-Love. However, KXTE gives the network full-market Las Vegas coverage from its site atop Potosi Mountain, while WNKS provides a powerful 100 kW ERP signal in Charlotte. Currently, K-Love is heard on 91.9 WRCM(FM) in Charlotte, which EMF purchased from Columbia International University in 2014. Air 1 is heard on a 100.3 FM translator. In Las Vegas, K-Love is heard on 87.7 KLVG(LD), a “Franken-FM,” and a 95.1 FM translator. EMF’s Air 1 network is heard on 89.3 KAER(FM) in Las Vegas, while its Spanish-language “Radio Nueva Vida” is heard on 91.1 KVKL(FM). Terms of the deals were not disclosed. Both transactions are pending Federal Communications Commission approval and are expected to close in mid-October, according to a release. K-Love is also adding a signal in Baltimore this year, pending FCC approval. It also bought Beasley’s 98.7 WPBB(FM) in the Tampa-St. Petersburg market last year. The Beasley release said the “Maney and Lauren” morning show will move from WNKS to sister station 104.7 WKQC(FM). In Las Vegas, KXTE’s alternative rock programming and “X” branding will move up the dial to 107.9 KVGS(FM), licensed to Meadview, Ariz. “These transactions reflect our continued commitment to strategically managing our portfolio while preserving the outstanding local brands and personalities our audiences know and love,” said Caroline Beasley, CEO of Beasley, in a release. Kalil & Co. Inc. served as the broker to Beasley for the transaction. [Do you receive the Radio World SmartBrief newsletter each weekday morning?

In a stunning rant from the Oval Office Monday, the president berated his U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia after she moved to drop the case against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn — stating that damage to the pool “was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented by DOI.” “Jeanine Pirro made a mistake,” Trump said bluntly — doubling down on his take from a Truth Social post Saturday. “There was vandalism.” Trump proceeded to give a lengthy account of the work on the reflecting pool — conceding he was not “100% thrilled with the contractor.” But Trump made clear that despite what his own Justice Department said in court, he believes “there was vandalism” and that Pirro dropped the ball. “Frankly, I think she choked,” Trump said. “Because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked. I don’t know what the hell happened.” Trump was asked by MS NOW’s Jake Traylor, “Are you reconsidering her role?” But the president, having got into a tiff with Traylor moments earlier, refused to entertain the question. “You’re fake news,” Trump said. “Don’t ever talk again. You’re fake. You’re one of the worst in the business. Fortunately, nobody watches you.” Moments later, Trump landed another attack on Pirro. “I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro!” Trump said — raising his voice. “Really disappointed with Jeanne Pirro! She folded like an umbrella! And people get away with things, and it’s a disgrace!” Watch above, via Fox News.The post ‘She Folded Like an Umbrella!’ Trump Absolutely Buries Jeanine Pirro for Dropping Reflecting Pool Vandalism Case first appeared on Mediaite.
