- Trump Rages About Surprise Iran Attack to Fox News: ‘We’re Going to Beat the...
President Donald Trump raged to Fox News’s Trey Yingst about Tuesday night’s surprise attack by Iran on U.S. troops in Jordan, telling him “we are going to beat the f*cking sh*t out of them.” Yingst, Fox’s chief foreign correspondent, reported on Trump’s comments while joining Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning and noted that Trump added, “We’ll be hitting them hard.” “Yeah, guys, good morning. President Trump reacting to that Iranian attack on U.S. forces overnight in Jordan. President Trump tells Fox News about Iran: ‘We are going to beat the effing sh*t out of them.’ He went on to say, ‘We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating,’” Yingst began his report, adding: So clearly, the United States is going to respond to what the president described as a surprise attack. He says U.S. forces had just minutes to shoot down these incoming Iranian ballistic missiles. The president says he has reviewed video of the shoot-down, and it was U.S. forces conducting this operation to defend that area. He said it was real-time — they were calling out coordinates and ensuring that none of this incoming Iranian fire got through. I also asked the president about those U.S. and Saudi airstrikes against Iran-backed Iraqi Shia militias overnight. He says those strikes were coordinated with the Iraqi government. He called these Iran-backed militias “a cancer on the world” and says he is considering additional warnings against Iranian proxies and their link to the Iranian regime. The president also talked about his meeting yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. He says it was a great meeting — he understands now. It appears that the relationship between President Trump and the Israeli prime minister is strengthening. And again, the president called that meeting in the Oval great. In terms of possible talks with the Iranian regime, the president says, “We’re going to let them keep talking.” Remember, the Iranians came to President Trump after 13 straight days of U.S. bombing against Iran, asking to meet about the Strait of Hormuz and their broader nuclear ambitions, and those talks are taking place as we speak, behind the scenes — and then this surprise attack launched against U.S. forces overnight. And again, President Trump telling Fox News, “We are going to beat the effing s*** out of them,” and that U.S. strikes will take… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Acting DNI Reportedly Pressing Trump to Delay Swearing In Jay Clayton Despite Co...
(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File) Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte is reportedly trying to linger in his current position — despite the Senate confirming a full replacement this week. Politico Playbook reported on Wednesday morning that Pulte is pushing Trump to “delay Clayton’s swearing-in, or at least trying to stay in the job longer,” citing a White House official. On Tuesday, Jay Clayton was confirmed by the Senate in a 51-47 vote to become Director of National Intelligence. Pulte has been acting DNI since Tulsi Gabbard resigned from the role. Pulte has reportedly told Trump he needs “more time to finish his work” and he’s used a recent “burst of activity” — including layoffs — to convince the president. Even if Pulte does not manage to stay in his acting role for long, officials reportedly expect him to be sticking around in some capacity. Three administration officials said Pulte will keep his job at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a role that earned him plenty of pushback as DNI. Pulte, who has no military or intelligence experience, was accused of his using his role overseeing the Federal Housing Finance Agency to target political enemies of the president with accusations of mortgage fraud, charges that were largely later dismissed in court. The White House official told Politico that Pulte’s specific pitch to Trump about staying in his role longer has been: “He’s doing things nobody else will do, and that’s why he needs to stay in the job longer.” Senior staffers in the administration reportedly want Clayton sworn in quickly and Pulte out of his Federal Housing role. Multiple people described Trump and Pulte as “bros.” “The president really loves him,” the White House official told the outlet. Trump congratulated Clayton after the confirmation vote in a Truth Social post. “Congratulations to the Great Jay Clayton on his confirmation by the United States Senate, to be the next Director of National Intelligence. Jay is outstanding in every way, and will do a spectacular job as Director!” he wrote.The post Acting DNI Reportedly Pressing Trump to Delay Swearing In Jay Clayton Despite Confirmation: ‘Trying to Stay in the Job Longer’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Jean Carroll during a CNN debate as “kind of crazy,” prompting anchor Abby Phillip to remind him that a jury sided with the writer in her long-running legal battle with President Donald Trump. Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s, claims Trump has vehemently denied. Carroll has sued Trump for defamation, and in 2023, a jury found him civilly liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer. As Tuesday’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip panel discussed the case, Trump fan Terry Schilling interjected. “This is lawfare!” he said, insisting Carroll had not presented any evidence of her claim. “No other president has had this type of lawfare thrown at them,” he insisted. Former Texas congressional candidate Isaiah Martin was quick to point out: “No other president has gone forward and been found civilly liable for sexual assault. What are you talking about?” Phillip jumped in after the panel explored the legal difference between a civil finding and a criminal one: ABBY PHILLIP: Hold on, hold on, guys, hold on one second. Terry, you’re describing this as lawfare. SCHILLING: Yes. PHILLIP: Even though this is an individual bringing a suit against another. TERRY SCHILLING: Without any evidence There was no police report, there was no — PHILLIP: So, I mean, my understanding of lawfare is. But hold on. My understanding of lawfare is this idea that it’s the law, that is, you know, the the institutions of the government — SCHILLING: No, it can be it can be weaponizing the government. PHILLIP: This is a person who has an allegation against the president. She took it to court. SCHILLING: She couldn’t remember the date, she couldn’t remember the year. PHILLIP: She was, it was heard by a jury. And this was the judgment. So which part of that was rigged against him? SCHILLING: So there was no evidence for it — [CROSSTALK] CHRISTINE QUINN: Apparently the jury thought there were. SCHILLING: Right. You can cherry-pick juries. You can cherry-pick courts that you that you choose to fight here. This was all lawfare. And yes, private individuals can absolutely weaponize the legal system against people in power like President Trump. I find E. Jean Carroll’s claims to be crazy. I think she’s kind of crazy, frankly. Like if you see her house she’s been — PHILLIP: She’s been… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Reaches ‘Career Low’ Job Approval of 34%: New CNN Poll
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump’s current approval rating matches its lowest point ever — according to a new CNN poll out Wednesday. The poll — taken from July 23-27 with a margin of error of +/-3.2% — found that just 34% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as president. “Trump’s overall approval rating, 34%, matches the career low he last saw at the close of his first term, following the January 6, 2021, insurrection,” Ariel Edwards-Levy noted in CNN’s write-up of the poll. “Half of Americans now strongly disapprove of him, a high across his terms, with a record-low 15% strongly approving.” The number is an outlier compared to other recent surveys — but only slightly. A CBS News poll released this past Sunday pegged Trump’s approval at 39%. RealClearPolitics, which averages all major polls, puts the president’s approval at 40.7%. Trump’s handling of Iran and the economy are the two biggest reasons why he’s stuck at 34%, according to CNN. Their poll found 65% of Americans believe Trump’s policies have “worsened economic conditions in the country.” And on the Iran war, 67% of respondents said the president’s decisions have “hurt the U.S.” And many seem to believe his decision-making on Iran won’t get any better. A whopping 74% of Americans, according to the poll, believe Trump does not have a clear plan on how to handle the conflict. ——The post Trump Reaches ‘Career Low’ Job Approval of 34%: New CNN Poll first appeared on Mediaite.

Nope, Morgan decided. “The problem, Austin, it’s not that you said something immature or stupid or anything like that because had you then said, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said it. I don’t mean the way it came across,’ but it’s the opposite with you,” Morgan told the teen. “You do mean it. You don’t want to be around any Jewish people, that’s 15 million Jewish people, so therefore, you are de facto anti-semitic.” In the interview, Franco insisted he was not a “brazen antisemite” — because he once dated someone who was “half Jewish.” Morgan wasn’t having it. “How have you been so poorly educated? Honestly, what’s happened to your parents here, your family, your friends? “And what’s allowed you to develop this mindset where you’re prepared to just come on a camera like this in an interview watched by millions of people and just brazenly say, ‘I don’t want to be anywhere near Jewish people’ and not understand the enormity of what you’re saying and have no sense of remorse, no sense of shame, no sense of guilt?” Morgan said. He then asked, “You don’t give a f*ck, do you?” Franco then attempted to tie his bias to America’s involvement in Iran, an explanation Morgan rejected before eventually slamming the young man as “thick.” “I just find it incredibly depressing that a young man given the privilege that you’ve had, to go to a top university, could be this thick or worse, not care about what you’re saying and the consequences to a huge number of people around the world who see a young arrogant kid who wants to brazenly espouse antisemitism in interviews like this,” Morgan added. “And shame on you, and shame on everyone that has made you like this and you know what? I was prepared to give you… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Defiant Netanyahu Tells Hannity: ‘I’m Going to New York’ to Speak Truth in...A defiant Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday that he will come to New York City in September, despite calls by the Big Apple’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, to arrest him. Calling Mamdani a “lunatic,” Hannity brought up the mayor’s threat from days earlier, when he called for Netanyahu’s arrest for war crimes once he sets foot in New York in September for the UN General Assembly. “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mamdani said earlier this month. “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.” Netanyahu said Mamdani’s remarks won’t keep him out of the city that never sleeps. “I’m definitely going there,” he said. “I’m gonna speak the truth in front of this, you know, this just hate-spewing elected official who’s pitting one group of New Yorkers against the others. He’s turning them against New York Jews. I mean, what are we, in the 1930s? What is this, you know? So much hate, so many lies.” Netanyahu went on to call the ICC a “corrupt, evil organization.” “It had a prosecutor who issued arrest warrants against me and our former defense minister as war criminals, supposedly for starvation, starving the people of Gaza,” he said. “We gave a million tons of food for them.” Read a portion of the exchange below: SEAN HANNITY: And you’ve got this lunatic mayor in New York thinking you may get arrested if you go to New York, which will never happen. BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: First of all, I’m going to New York. Yeah, I’d love to see you there when I go to the UN in September. HANNITY: You know, I moved to Florida. NETANYAHU: You know, you can take a plane. You can come. You’ve come to Washington, so you can go there. But I’m definitely going there. I’m gonna speak the truth in front of this, you know, this just hate-spewing elected official who’s pitting one group of New Yorkers against the others. He’s turning them against New York Jews. I mean, what are we, in the 1930s? What is this, you know? So much hate, so many lies. And, you know, the big lie is about the ICC, the International Criminal Court, so-called. That’s a corrupt, evil organization.… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
