- ‘What a Punk!’ Chris Cuomo Unloads on Former CNN Colleague Scott Jennings fo...
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo let fly on former CNN colleague Scott Jennings on Tuesday, days after Jennings erupted at a fellow panelist. On Thursday’s installment of CNN NewsNight, Adam Mockler of MeidasTouch mixed it up with Jennings, a former White House staffer in the George W. Bush administration, over the war with Iran. “We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters ‘I-r-a’ that we are currently failing, that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt,” Mockler said. “I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars. Now this war is failing.” At one point, Jennings, who compared Mockler to a gnat, told Mockler, “Get your f*cking hand out of my face!” (Mockler’s hand did not appear to be particularly close to Jennings’ face.) On Tuesday’s Cuomo, the host called Jennings “CNN’s resident MAGA-lomaniac” and aired the clip in question. “Now, when this happened, I asked, what 48-year-old man talks to a kid 25 years younger than him like that?” Cuomo said. “One who’s got nothing else. When one who did work for the Bush administration that sold us the BS about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, you’d think he’d have some type of shame. But there’s no shame in the game, and he knows how to play the rage bait game.” Cuomo said Jennings has a history of aggressively gesticulating on NewsNight. “My proof? Jennings himself did the same thing Mockler did to him to another guest,” the host said. “And here are the receipts.” Cuomo then aired a clip of Jennings arguing with academic Michael Eric Dyson during a 2024 October episode of NewsNight. At one point, an agitated Jennings told Dyson, “I don’t answer to you,” while pointing his finger at Dyson’s face and lunging at him. “You put your finger in my face, and you are aggressive,” Dyson replied. Jennings told Dyson, who is Black, “Brother, don’t start with me.” As he delivered the line, Jennings leaned back with his arms folded. Back in the present day, Cuomo mocked the posture and laughed. “What a punk!” he said. “He did the same thing. You see what I’m saying? What’s different is Professor Michael Eric Dyson, the man on your screen, looking at him with contempt. Why? He… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Republican Candidate Denies Maligning Opponent Before Caving: ‘I Probably Did ...A Republican candidate for governor of California relented during Tuesday’s debate after he denied using a certain word to malign his GOP opponent. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco was one of seven gubernatorial candidates to participate in the debate, and one of two Republicans. California does not have party primaries, but rather one primary with candidates of all parties. The top two vote-getters advance to November’s general election. The other Republican in the primary is former Fox News host Steve Hilton, an immigrant from the U.K., where he served as an aide to former Prime Minister David Cameron. During Tuesday’s debate, CNN host and moderator Kaitlan Collins asked Bianco about past comments regarding Hilton. Here is the incredible exchange in its entirety: COLLINS: You’ve actually had some harsh words for your fellow Republican on the stage tonight. You’ve called him, quote, “unethical” and “dishonest” and said that he is trying to, quote, “manipulate Californians” and quote, “swindled his way into the Republican side.” Are you saying that you don’t think Republican voters can trust Mr. Hilton? BIANCO: I, well, I will tell you, I don’t know where that came from. I would tell you in my entire life, I don’t think I’ve used the word ‘swindle.’ So I don’t know if you were quoting something or if you were saying that– if you were saying that. COLLINS: It’s a quote from you to The Atlantic. BIANCO: No. I don’t I’ve never used the word ‘swindle.’ Have I have Steve and I disagreed? Absolutely, we have. Have we had our um, quite big disagreements and battles in this election because he’s running his campaign. I’m running mine and– COLLINS: But you’re denying that you said these quotes? BIANCO: No, I’m saying that I don’t know where that came from. I would never, I would never use the word ‘swindled.’ But the context, yes, I have said that. It’s unethical. I’m the only person up here that their entire existence in their job revolves around honesty, integrity, and leadership. I’m the only one. Right now lying can get me removed from my job– COLLINS: Can I just clarify– BIANCO: –unlike what they’re saying. COLLINS: –with you? Because this says it’s from an interview with KBAK that happened in April of this year, where you said he’s trying to figure out how he can “manipulate Californians to put him in this… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Moderator Kaitlan Collins Questions Candidate About ‘F*** Trump’ Comment and...CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked former congresswoman and California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter about her recent fundraising email titled “F*ck Trump,” questioning her about whether the sentiment would be a “guiding principle.” Collins moderated Tuesday’s California governor’s primary debate, introducing her question to Porter by noting that the election’s winner would necessarily have to engage with President Donald Trump. “The next governor of California, as we all know and have talked about tonight, will have to work with President Trump for the next two years. Congresswoman Porter, you recently put out an email, a fundraising email with the subject line ‘F Trump.’ And you’re not censoring it like I am right now,” said Collins. “And you went on to say, quote, ‘That’s right, F Trump. Together, we’re going to kick Trump’s ass in November.’ Will F Trump be your guiding principle in dealing with the president?” Porter doubled down on her combative stance towards the president, telling Collins that if Trump continued to go after California, she would continue to operate from her “F Trump” outlook. “When Donald Trump hurts California, as he has again and again, then I will absolutely stand up to him 100%. He has denied wildfire funding to help disaster victims here in California. He has made it clear that he is seeking to specifically punish California in canceling green energy projects here that create good, high-paying jobs while he’s allowing them to continue in other states,” she said. “We absolutely have to be clear about the risk that Donald Trump presents to Californians and to our economy and to our ability to change California for the better. So if he’s going to attack California, yeah, F him.” Porter’s email, sent just a day after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, drew criticism from some on the right who called out the candidate for the timing of her sharp rhetoric. “Katie Porter is a degenerate loser who is sick in the head, and it’s telling that failing Democrat candidates think their path to victory is to fan the flames of violence right after an assassination attempt,” Republican National Committee spokesman Nick Poche said in a statement to Fox News. The former congresswoman has previously been criticized for aggressive moments, including an October interview that saw her abruptly end the conversation after she was dissatisfied with the reporter’s questions. Porter has repeatedly been accused of bullying by former colleagues… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Jesse Watters Reacts to Trump’s Surprise Iran Announcement: ‘The President M...Fox News host Jesse Watters said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump “must know what he’s doing” after Trump announced a pause on his operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The president announced the pause on Tuesday evening on Truth Social, claiming it would last for “a short period of time” while the U.S. pursued a “Complete and Final Agreement” with Iran. The move came just a day after “Project Freedom” began on Monday. Trump announced Sunday that the U.S. Navy would help “guide” ships of “neutral and innocent bystanders” safely through the Strait of Hormuz. Watters reacted to Trump’s announcement on Jesse Watters Primetime, telling viewers the move was likely a bid to allow Iran to “save face.” “We suspect the president is letting the Iranians save face. The enemy just yesterday said they controlled the strait. That was obviously a lie,” he said. “And watching the Americans escort ship after ship out of the gulf and them not being able to do anything about that was going to be humiliating. Not only were they going to lose whatever military prestige they had left in the region, their negotiators weren’t going to be able to fight for their position after they lost their last bargaining chip.” A total of four ships went through the Strait on Monday, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a Tuesday Pentagon briefing that two commercial vessels were escorted successfully through the passage by the U.S. military. Monday also saw Iran attack U.S.-escorted ships and U.S. Navy vessels, in addition to launching strikes on the United Arab Emirates, which continued on Tuesday. The Fox host claimed that Trump must have chosen to pause the operation in light of significant Iranian concessions, noting that “Project Freedom” could have continued while negotiations were ongoing. “The commander-in-chief must believe that the Iranians are serious about surrendering if he is going to pause Project Freedom for the sake of a deal. Because you could also continue Project Freedom during the negotiations,” said Watters. “You know, you do want to get these foreign ships moving. The president must know what he’s doing. And we are about to find out how insane in the brain the regime really is. The choice is theirs.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Jesse Watters Reacts to Trump’s Surprise Iran Announcement: ‘The President Must Know What He’s… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Marco Rubio Declares, ‘You’re Not Ready for My DJ Name’ After Rocking Wedd...Secretary of State Marco Rubio got some laughs in the White House press briefing room on Tuesday after declaring the world isn’t “ready” for his “DJ name.” Rubio joined the White House press briefing room to provide an update on the Iran war, outlining a plan for U.S. forces to begin helping guide stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz as Iran has taken to charging ships tolls amid a ceasefire. The press briefing was wrapped up with questions from Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, one of which was on Rubio’s preferred “DJ name.” Rubio gained attention on social media recently over a video of him helping to DJ at a family wedding. “MOMENTS AGO, BEHIND THE SCENES—Our Great Secretary of State [Marco Rubio] DJ’s weddings too! Here he is in action tonight at a family wedding…Let’s goooooo!!!” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted to X on May 2.

The secretary then turned back to speaking on the ongoing conflict with Iran. At Tuesday’s briefing, Rubio accused Iran’s leaders of being “insane in the brain” and promised “economic collapse” and “growing isolation” if they do not stop their blockage in the Strait of Hormuz. “They really should not test the will of the United States, at least not under President Donald Trump,” Rubio told reporters. “He has proven time and again that he will back up what he says and if they test him, ultimately they will lose, the hard way, the easy way, the long way, the short way, they will lose.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Marco Rubio Declares, ‘You’re Not Ready for My DJ Name’ After Rocking Wedding Gig first appeared on Mediaite.

- Trump’s Ballroom Project Dumps Toxic Debris On Public Golf Course
(Screengrab via X/@maustermuhle) (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) Debris from the White House’s demolished East Wing– knocked down to make way for President Donald Trump’s $400 million ballroom– tested positive for lead after being dumped at a public golf course, according to the National Park Service. The rubble was also found to contain chromium, PCBs, pesticides, petroleum byproducts, and other toxic chemicals at levels over laboratory reporting limits in soil, a report requested by the park service found. Over 30,000 cubic yards of debris from the White House construction project have been dumped at the East Potomac Golf Links course since October. The choice of the nearby golf course as a dumping ground was highly scrutinized following previous reports that Trump was looking to rebrand the course. Trump reportedly autographed a rendering of a new golden logo for the redesign proposal, which included renaming the site the “Washington National Golf Course.” That idea escalated last week, when NOTUS reported that the Trump administration would take over the course and begin renovating it on Monday. The DC Preservation League filed an emergency stay request along with residents following the report, which a federal judge declined to issue on Monday. U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes kept the possibility of halting construction open, while directing the U.S. government to share plans for the renovation with government lawyers if it intended to cut down more than ten trees. Legal organization Democracy Forward, which is co-representing the Preservation League, called for a review of the new test results, claiming in a press release that the report revealed the government “dumped a cocktail of contaminants” on the course. The group added that “despite indications of the refuse’s contents, they continued dumping” the debris in the public space. Katie Martin, a spokesperson for the Department of the Interior, which oversees the park service, said in an email to AP on Tuesday that the debris “was tested multiple times, by multiple parties, and this project passed all standards set by law.” She further claimed that “this thorough process was followed to ensure the transfer was safe for the public,” writing in her statement that the department is “committed to continuing the relationships we have built with the local golf communities to ensure these courses are safe, beautiful, open, affordable, enjoyable, accessible, and world-class for people living in and visiting the greatest capital city in the world.” Trump’s ballroom has continued… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
