  • ‘How Can You Endorse Him?’ Fox’s Bill Hemmer Clashes With Michigan Dem Ove...
    Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer got into it with Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) on Tuesday, asking how the liberal lawmaker can rationalize endorsing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) if she does not support his anti-Israel views. Dingell said on America’s Newsroom she would back either El-Sayed or Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) later this year, depending on who wins Tuesday’s Democratic primary. “Just in the last month, Sayed has said Israel should not exist as a Jewish state,” Hemmer said. When Dingell started to say she disagreed with El-Sayed, Hemmer continued,  “Hang on, I’ve known you a long time, can you support that? And if so, how?” “No, I categorically won’t support that. Israel has a right to exist,” Dingell said. “Then how can you endorse him if he is the candidate in November?” “Bill, I’m going to be very blunt, there are gonna be a lot of things I don’t agree with Mike Rogers on, either,” Dingell said, referring to the former Republican lawmaker who is running unopposed in the GOP’s Michigan primary. She went on, saying if Hemmer lived in Michigan, he would see “the sides” to the debate over Israel’s right to exist. “I think I, more than most Americans, have lived between these two communities for decades. And both sides are hurting,” Dingell said. “I’m against antisemitism, I’m against those who are attacking the Muslim faith. We live in a country where we have freedom of religion.” She slapped her table to drive home her point. Dingell’s interview comes as El-Sayed is the frontrunner to in the primary — leading in 17 of the 32 polls tracked by The New York Times, while Stevens has the edge in 11 of the polls. El-Sayed has been a fixture on cable news over the past few months, including one recent appearance on CNN where he dodged Jake Tapper’s question about why he said a lot of people were upset right after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed. He also claimed Israel was was just as “evil” as Hamas during an April appearance on CNN, among other gripes he has about the country.

  • Rosie O’Donnell Reveals Trump Song to Kara Swisher That She’s ‘Not Allowed...
    Rosie O’Donnell dished she had a salacious Wizard of Oz-themed parody ready for her longtime nemesis Donald Trump, but the man behind the curtain — or more accurately, the executives at ABC — canceled it. O’Donnell told Kara Swisher on Monday she had her anti-Trump version of “If I Only Had a Brain” — the tune made famous by the Scarecrow in the 1939 flick — ready for late night when she guest-hosts Jimmy Kimmel’s show later this month. There was one problem, though: ABC execs told her “they couldn’t get permission for the parody because it’s political content.” Swisher couldn’t believe it, and O’Donnell wasn’t thrilled, either. “I have been told I’m not allowed to do that,” she explained. But she went ahead and gave Swisher a mini-rendition of the aborted song. “His approval rate is 30, his diaper’s always dirty, I think the guy’s insane.” O’Donnell sang. Swisher seemed to get a kick out of it, and helped out by mimicking the song’s percussion. O’Donnell continued, “He ain’t no stable genius, got a teeny, tiny penis, and he doesn’t have a brainnnn.” O’Donnell said her song got a “tremendous response,” but unfortunately would never make it to air. She said it wasn’t Kimmel’s fault, though. O’Donnell praised Kimmel for the “beautiful” way he has clashed with Trump over the years, by “giving it to him in a comedic, honest, truthful, way,” as she put it. She also saluted the comic for being “brave and bold.” O’Donnell seemed to be in a more chipper mood on Swisher’s On podcast than she was a week ago during her interview on The View co-host Ana Navarro’s show, where she branded Trump a “pedophile” and “convicted sexual rapist.” Navarro did not push back on either claim — suggesting she may be ignorant or indifferent to her own network paying Trump $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit in 2024, after anchor George Stephanopoulos said he was found “liable for rape.” In fact, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in civil court, which carries a different definition in New York. O’Donnell will guest host Kimmel’s show for a week, starting on August 17. Watch above.

  • It’s August — and Sean Duffy’s Summer Reality Show Is Nowhere to Be Found
    Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s promised summer reality show has yet to see the light of day as the season of beach trips, sunshine, and swimming hits the halfway mark. The Great American Road Trip was intended to help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary, Duffy, 54, said in a May appearance on Fox News. The former reality TV star had said the show was to drop in June, according to Politico, which noted back on July 1 that the program had yet to be seen. His wife, fellow reality TV alumna and current Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, had described the show — which would have shown the couple traveling America with their nine kids — as “really wholesome”: “We live in a Porn Hub world,” she said during their May turn on the network. “This is really wholesome, good family stuff. This is what families need to do.” The Bulwark is the most recent outlet to mark the show’s absence with a piece on Tuesday pointing out the DOT had described The Great American Road Trip back in March as a “key initiative”: This Saturday marks three months since the Duffys’ Fox News appearance. Summer is more than half over. The celebrations around the Fourth of July that Duffy’s show was supposed to promote — the project was “aligned” with Trump’s sketchy Freedom250 alternative celebration — are well in the past. Many American school students will go back to school this week. Yet The Great American Road Trip, which Duffy promised would premiere in June, has not released a single episode. That’s a pretty significant failure for a show the Department of Transportation once described as a “key initiative.” What happened to The Great American Road Trip? Why have the Duffys failed to help a single American family grow closer or disconnect from the “Pornhub world”? A Department of Transportation spokesperson said: “America’s 250th birthday is a year-long celebration, and we look forward to sharing the final product soon.” The American Bus Association, which announced a partnership with the program, did not immediately respond to Mediaite’s request for comment. —The post It’s August — and Sean Duffy’s Summer Reality Show Is Nowhere to Be Found first appeared on Mediaite.

  • JUST IN: Max Miller’s Lawyer Takes Responsibility for Making Sensitive Pic Pub...
    Photo via Max Miller on Facebook. Rep. Max Miller’s (R-OH) lawyer has taken full responsibility for making an inappropriate photo of the lawmaker’s young daughter public on social media. In a statement to Mediaite, attorney Aaron Minc apologized for what he called a “completely unintentional” inclusion of the 2-year-old’s image. Lawyers for Miller’s wife, Emily Moreno, filed a letter in court claiming the image appeared to show the child’s genitals and could constitute Child Sex Abuse Material. “There were no images of ‘genitals,'” Minc told Meidiate. “A two-year-old girl had her shirt off. That is a deliberately false, sensationalized, and disgusting characterization.” Emily Moreno has accused Miller of scalding her with boiling water, and other abuse. Her father, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), finally called for Miller to quit Congress on Sunday. Read Minc’s statement in full: In the course of assembling and publishing a large volume of documents, I was responsible for ensuring that any sensitive information was redacted and removed from the files. I took several steps to do this, made multiple passes and searches to redact and delete anything I could find, including the child’s name throughout and any other private information. I bleeped audio mentions of her name. I converted video files to audio so her image would not appear. I redacted current addresses and dates of birth that I could find referenced for any of the parties. I deleted metadata or converted files into PDFs where relevant. (Although I did not edit information already in publicly filed court documents and news article attachments.) Unfortunately, I missed the last three pages of a 40+ page document with sensitive content. It was completely unintentional and a mistake. The moment I discovered the issue on Monday morning, I corrected the file immediately. To be clear, this was completely my fault. I am solely responsible for what happened. I was the only person responsible for assembling, creating, reviewing, adding, deleting, redacting, or making any changes to the information and files that were in this folder. I am Mr. Miller’s personal counsel. I am not paid by, and do not work for, his campaign. I am truly sorry to Congressman Miller, Ms. Moreno, both of their families, and, especially, to their daughter. I deeply regret the mistake. I find it egregious and shameful that Ms. Moreno and here counsels have decided to make a media spectacle regarding this unfortunate mistake and… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • New York Radio Host Goes OFF on Yankees Front Office for ‘Miserable’ Trade D...
    Screenshot WFAN host Chris McMonigle went off on the New York Yankees on Tuesday morning in response to the team’s moves at the MLB trade deadline. At the time of this writing, the Yankees were 63-50 and trailed the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East by 3.5 games. Ahead of Monday’s deadline, the team made trades to acquire infielder Luis Garcia Jr. and outfielder Heliot Ramos from the Washington Nationals and the San Francisco Giants, respectively. Those moves, McMonigle noted, failed to address the team’s biggest concerns. He called the efforts by the Yankees front office — and general manager Brian Cashman, specifically — a “disgrace.” “It’s a disgrace,” McMonigle said. “It’s a miserable trade deadline. It’s a failure of a deadline. There’s no doubt about it. That’s the only way to look at it. They are gonna continue to throw out the worst catching situation in all of the sport, and they’re doing it willingly. Bottom line, they are willingly playing the worst catcher in all of baseball. The New York Yankees will continue to roll out — I’m not gonna kill them for rolling into the season. I think we all expected [catcher Austin Wells] to be better. Not an All-Star, but better than this. “They are now willingly, after the trade deadline, rolling out the worst position in all of sports, arguably. The catcher position for the New York Yankees is the worst position player group in all of Major League Baseball — the New York Yankees. They also are rolling out arguably one of the worst shortstop positions in the game, and third base ain’t much better. And now they are willingly doing so — willingly. It’s unacceptable, it’s a miserable deadline, and Brian Cashman has failed.” C-Mac RIPPED the Yankees trade deadline, saying it could be Brian Cashman's worst ever!@CMacWFAN pic.twitter.com/FNLc0wbCw2 — WFAN Sports Radio (@WFAN660) August 3, 2026 So far this season, Wells is hitting just .167 with nine home runs and 16 RBI in more than 254 plate appearances. In his first four seasons with the team, the 27-year-old has yet to hit above .230.The post New York Radio Host Goes OFF on Yankees Front Office for ‘Miserable’ Trade Deadline Moves first appeared on Mediaite.
