- CNN’s Dana Bash Calls Out RFK Jr.’s Autism Claims in Part 2 of Epic Showdown...
CNN’s Dana Bash called out HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claims about autism in the second half of the stunning 22-minute showdown between the two on Sunday’s State of the Union. After a chaotic start to the interview which focused on Covid, the battle ramped up even further when the subject switched to autism. “The Wall Street Journal reported that the president is pressuring you to conduct studies probing the link between vaccines and autism,” Bash said. “Is that true?” “He certainly does,” Kennedy said. “Have you talked to him about medical research that have studied this for 25 years and found no link between autism and vaccines?” Bash asked. “And just that — this is my question here, because I don’t want to litigate that. My question is, why not — because you are HHS secretary now. Why not study what could cause autism, which scientists do believe starts with fetal brain development? Why not do some studies on that, whether there’s — since you’re an environmental lawyer, whether there are environmental factors that go into contributing to a predisposed genetic situation?” “Well, let me say this first. We’re doing all those things,” Kennedy said. “And that’s one of the ways that we found Tylenol. There’s 73 studies out that link Tylenol exposure during later pregnancy and during the perinatal period to autism onset. But you are wrong when you say that this issue has been studied. It has been studied. And you’re rolling your eyes, Dana —” “I am,” Bash said. “Because I don’t want — I don’t want to have you use our air to say this. There have been more than 40 studies involving 5.6 million people to conclude there is no link between vaccines and autism. This is the head of the Committee of Infectious Diseases for the American Academy of Pediatrics.” Kennedy interrupted the fact-check. “And now let me tell you what the Institute of Medicine is — says, which is the National Academy of Sciences, which is the ultimate arbiter on vaccine safety, in which it does not have an interest in this debate,” Kennedy said. “It says that none of the eight vaccines that are administered during the first six months of life have ever been studied for relationship to autism. It found two studies, one on the DTP vaccine that show that it… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘You’re Talking Nonsense!’ RFK Jr. Berates CNN’s Bash in Fiery 22-Minute...Robert F. Kennedy Jr. melted down and berated CNN’s Dana Bash in a wild brawl over Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Donald Trump, and vaccines. In a marathon battle on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, the HHS Secretary — a years-long Fauci critic who has ramped up his attacks in recent days — defended Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic despite the fact that Trump kept Fauci in a position of power. “You have been placing nearly all the blame on the COVID pandemic and the way that the U.S. Responded to it squarely with Dr. Fauci,” Bash told Kennedy. “But of course, he worked for President Trump. Does President Trump also deserve some of the blame?” “President Trump, as you recall, wanted to end lockdowns,” Kennedy said. “I think the thing that did the most damage to our country was the lockdowns, the lockdown that shut down 3.5 million businesses in our country with no due process, no just compensation. All of our churches closed, our schools, and our children are still paying the price for that. And yet we had the worst outcome of any country in the world … We have the highest death rate from COVID of any nation on earth.” Bash fact-checked Kennedy. “That’s not accurate,” Bash said. “Because public health experts say that there is a combination of factors that went into that, higher rates of chronic illnesses, which I know you would agree with, gaps to our health care system, and misinformation about vaccines.” Kennedy doubled-down. “You just said what I said was inaccurate,” Kennedy said. “What I said was accurate. We had the highest death rate from COVID of any place.” Bash noted that, “there are other countries that had higher” — and indeed Johns Hopkins data shows there are 13 countries which had a higher COVID death rate. Kennedy circled back to defend Trump after Bash followed-up. But the interview really got heated when Bash asked Kennedy how he’s preparing for the next pandemic. “We need to protect our constitutional rights, that is the primary obligation of our country,” Kennedy said. “During COVID, we completely dismantled our constitutional rights. We began censoring people in violation of the First Amendment.” “Forgive me, but you’re just you’re talking about rights, and I’m asking about a potential public health crisis,” Bash said. “And one of the mistakes… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Halts Strike on Iran After ‘Perimeters of a Deal’ Agreed To — But Wa...
(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) The anticipated pummeling of Iran has been halted, at least for the moment. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday evening he canceled a massive military strike on Iran after the “perimeters of a deal” were agreed to. Trump said he called off the strikes — which he said would be the most lethal American attacks since World War II — after Iran and other Middle Eastern countries lobbied the U.S. to pause the barrage, since a peace agreement was mostly in place. Still, Trump warned the U.S. is “locked and loaded and ready to go,” if the deal falls apart. The two biggest aspects to note: Trump said the deal includes the “Total OPENING” of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as puts an end to “Iran’s nuclear threat.” Read his full Truth Social post below: The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP Trump’s announcement came a day after he said the U.S. planned on ramping up its strikes on Iran. “We will be hitting them very hard,” Trump said during a televised press conference Friday at Camp David. “And you know at some point, they’re going to say, ‘We just can’t take it anymore.’” A few days earlier, he told Fox News the U.S. was going to “beat the f*cking sh*t” out of Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday,”For weeks behind closed doors, Trump has been telling aides that the Iranians are ‘crazy,’ according to U.S. officials. He also has complained to confidants that the interim peace deal was ultimately meaningless, officials said, and that he always knew… [TheTopNews] Read More.14 hours ago - MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff Disgusted by ‘Racist’ Slurs Used by Immigration Ag...MS NOW anchor Jacob Soboroff started his show off on Saturday by venting about the “disgusting” language ICE and border patrol agents used to describe illegal immigrants, according to newly released documents. Soboroff explained the texts were revealed because of a push by the ACLU in California. He ripped agents who referred to illegal immigrants as “bodies” in on exchange, with Soboroff reading the message that said “I think [border patrol agents] only know one way to operate — see bodies, chase bodies.” He then warned his viewers it got even worse. “Even more body camera footage and texts caught agents using racist language, slurs, to describe Latinos,” Soboroff said. “I want to warn you that the language you are about to hear is very offensive, it is disgusting. But I believe that it is important for you guys to hear and witness nonetheless.” MS NOW then had a technical difficulty and played the wrong clip. The camera cut back to Soboroff and he read the message. “The agent refers to a person as quote ‘wet.’ Wet is typically short for wetback. Which is a slur that ties back to Operation Wetback. We normally don’t say it on television, but you should know it, because that was the official and racist name for the 1954 deportation effort by the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration, which Donald Trump has lauded in the past and modeled this deportation effort after.” His gripes about the immigration agents comes after the Trump administration announced in July it had deported 356,389 people in the last year. Over on Fox News, Tomi Lahren said she was disappointed by those figures — she said MAGA fans wanted to see a lot more illegal immigrants get booted. Soboroff ended his segment by telling viewers they can thwart Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration by voting in the 2026 midterms. “All of this goes back to power. Who has the power and who gets the power, [and] what we do with the power. We the people,” he said. “On election day, we get to exercise it, we get to choose the kind of country that we want to be.” Watch above.The post MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff Disgusted by ‘Racist’ Slurs Used by Immigration Agents: ‘We Normally Don’t Say It On Television…’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘It’s a Big Tent’: Democratic Socialist Candidate Has No Problem With Comm... Communism is no big deal, according to democratic socialist Melat Kiros. Kiros — who is running to represent Colorado in the House of Representatives — shrugged off concerns communists are making her party look bad during a Friday interview on PBS. Firing Line Host Margaret Hoover mentioned Republicans have “seized” on the Democratic Socialists of America being unabashed fans of Marxism, and pointed out President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned the USA is doomed if communists get control. “In June, President Trump said these are ‘hardcore, godless communists. This is the most serious threat to our country since it’s existence,” Hoover said. “So first, are you a communist?” “No, I’m not a communist,” Kiros said softly. “How do you tackle the criticism that some members of the DSA, including half of the DSA leadership, seem to call themselves communist?” Hoover followed up. “Yeah, well you know, some members of the Democratic Party are proudly proclaiming themselves as capitalists,” Kiros said. “It’s a big tent, right?” She continued, “At the end of the day, it’s up to the voters. Until a self-proclaimed communist actually wins an election, than it’s just noise from the Republican Party.” Her interview comes after Kiros and a handful of other socialists won Democratic primaries in June. Two of those candidates in New York — Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) and Claire Valdez (D) — are card-carrying members of the DSA, just like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D). The mayor backed both Chevalier and Valdez in their primaries. Beyond its socialist economic agenda, the DSA website said it is against Trump’s “racist immigration policies” and America being allied with Israel, which it said has committed a “genocide” in Gaza. Soon after the primaries, Trump sardonically congratulated Mamdani on getting “solid Communists” elected. His tone shifted a few days later, when he said the communists have started to make “their move” in the USA. “The game is on,” Trump said. “Enjoy watching!” Trump has ripped the socialists and socialism plenty of other times recently, including when he said communism is a “cancer” which must be dealt with ASAP during his Fourth of July address. He issued a similar warning during a speech last week in Georgia. Trump said it is really simple to understand: “With communism, everything turns to sh*t!” Watch above.The post ‘It’s a Big Tent’: Democratic Socialist Candidate Has No Problem With Communists In Her Party first appeared on Mediaite.
