- Trump Lays Out New National Security Demand: ‘We Need Magnets’
President Donald Trump called on defense contractors to “do magnets,” saying that they are vital to national security and profitable for companies that produce them. Trump attended the Pennsylvania Defense & Innovation Summit on Wednesday, where he addressed some of the country’s leading defense industry companies. He encouraged them to produce magnets, but offered no specifics: Firepoint Energy in Tunnelton will be investing at least $170 million in [a] pilot program to convert coal waste into jet fuel, electrical power, critical minerals. And I hope you’re gonna do magnets. Somebody out there, I hope, you’re all brilliant people, magnets. Do magnets, ok? I’ll tell you how to make money. Do magnets. You’re doing a lot of great stuff. Do magnets. Because one thing we don’t have, but we are getting close, but do magnets. So, I hope that [U.S.Air Force Contracting Officer] John Gray is listening to me so he can give ’em couple of bucks and go into the magnet business. I guarantee it’s gonna be a [intelligible]. It’s one thing, we don’t, for some reason, it’s not complex, not hard. We have the material. For some reason, they just don’t do it. We need magnets. So, one of you companies out there, go out, I’ll teach you how to make money. The president did not elaborate on why the U.S. military needs magnets, about which he has made some curious remarks. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office in November, Trump declared that “nobody knows what magnets are.” “Now, nobody knows what magnets are,” he said at the time. “And not overly sophisticated, but to build a magnet system would take two years. So if I weren’t able to say to China, ‘Look, if you’re gonna do that to us, we’re gonna charge you a 158% tariff.'” During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump erroneously claimed that dropping water on magnets causes them to lose their magnetic properties.

Screenshot Former Trump White House advisor turned MAGA-world podcaster Steve Bannon accused Trump administration officials of leaking details about President Donald Trump’s Thursday night national address to MS NOW, which Bannon still calls “MSNBC.” Longtime pro-MAGA writer John Solomon, who is working as “special government employee” in the Trump administration, spoke to Bannon on Wednesday about Trump’s upcoming announcement, which will reportedly focus on repeating his baseless claims of election fraud in 2020. Reports have said Trump will go so far as to call Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA) illegitimate. While discussing the claims in the media about Trump’s remarks, Bannon fumed, “But you can tell with MSNBC, let’s be blunt — senior members of the Trump White House — and MSNBC has already framed this.” “They’ve been given this 72 hours in advance. They’ve framed this now. It’s disinformation, it’s lies. You see, Vaughn Hillyard wrote… all of them are already saying — not even seeing the evidence, not even seeing what has come up — ‘it’s lies, it’s disinformation.’” “AOC is begging channels from around the country not to take it. Yet senior White House officials are quoted by the one network that’s the biggest enemy to the President of the United States, and has stirred up a lot of the hate and discontent that led to the attempted assassination attempts on him — like in Butler, Pennsylvania. They continue to stir it up, and they are actively trying to stop the program that you have been brought in for a task force, with Bill Pulte,” Bannon continued, concluding: I’ve never seen anything like it, quite frankly, and I think there needs to be a major house-cleaning after Thursday. Vaughn Hillyard did indeed report for MS NOW on Tuesday, “President Donald Trump is preparing to deliver a primetime speech that will focus on voting machine security and alleged efforts by foreign nations to influence U.S. elections, two senior administration officials told MS NOW. The text of the speech is not final, but the president is also expected to release declassified intelligence documents on both subjects.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told MS NOW for the report, “As usual, anonymous sources are speculating about what President Trump will say during his speech on Thursday evening. The truth is, nobody knows yet what President Trump will ultimately say, which is why everyone should tune in.”… [TheTopNews] Read More.21 mins ago - Fox’s Larry Kudlow Accuses Kathy Hochul of Bashing New York With the ‘Stupid...Fox Business host Larry Kudlow accused New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) of hitting her constituents repeatedly with the “stupid stick,” and he said the latest example is her just-announced AI data center ban. Kudlow vented about NY’s leadership on Wednesday afternoon. “New York has gotten hit several times by the stupid stick, and it’s not going to learn,” Kudlow said. “I’m not bullish on here. I live here — my primary residence is Studio J — but here, Gov. Hochul with her stupid stick is now saying no data centers for a year.” He was referring to the executive order Hochul signed on Tuesday, banning new data centers for up to one year. Hochul defended her order in a TV interview with Fox 5 in NYC on Wednesday, saying”I’m talking about the hyper-scaler, massive[data centers], the ones that consume and guzzle so much energy.” She also said she “protecting” New Yorkers from noisy data centers keeping them up all night. Kudlow wasn’t buying her spin, though. “Why not just donate the money to China? Just give it to them,” Kudlow vented. He said he heard President Donald Trump had put out a Truth Social post bashing Hochul over the move and that it was a “beauty.” Kudlow was referring to Trump’s early morning post where he insisted Hochul “IMMEDIATELY” reverse the policy. “One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers,” Trump said.“They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built. Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State.” Kudlow added Hochul’s ban just added to the bad ideas peddled by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom he called an “anti-Semitic dumbo.” The veteran host said Mamdani was a stooge for pushing rent control, since it drives up rent prices for everyone who isn’t lucky enough to snag a rent-controlled apartment.

- Letter: LeBow Was Also an RBDS Innovator
The author is CEO of the RDS Forum, based in Geneva, Switzerland. I read the sad news about the passing away of Jerry LeBow. Jerry was also instrumental in helping RDS to be adapted to RBDS. In this arrangement I was directly involved for the European Broadcasting Union, together with Terry Beale from Delco, who was the EIA expert on RDS in the early ’90s. Jerry made us meet in New Orleans, where we agreed to create an RDS variant called RBDS for North America. Jerry LeBow, at left, in 1991 in New Orleans with Terry Beale and Dietmar Kopitz.credit: Courtesy Dietmar Kopitz Shortly after this we promoted RBDS at the CES 1993 in Chicago. John Casey, today with Radio World but at that time with Denon, led a promotional campaign for RBDS, sponsored by EIA, to make U.S. broadcasters aware of this innovation for FM radio.

(Lenin Nolly/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles are reportedly leading an investigation in “some officials” at the White House have been asked to turn over their phones. The pair are attempting to determine who was responsible for leaking information about the alleged security problems with a Qatari-donated plane that President Donald Trump hopes to use as Air Force One, CNN reported. The leak led to reporting by The New York Times that left Trump “fuming.” Patel, who was meant to be traveling to Chicago, was sent back to D.C. Friday to begin the investigation into its source. The Times later revealed at least four of its reporters were subpoenaed by the U.S. Justice Department. “In this case, the subpoenas were not a last resort, which is typically what they’re supposed to do when there is an alleged leak hunt. This time it came within 48 hours of the first story being published… This was something that was quite known in Washington. It was not a surprise,” Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman said during a Monday appearance on Morning Joe. “This is not just issuing subpoenas; it’s sending federal agents to people’s homes.” CNN also noted that investigators have requested “information from those who were traveling with Trump or had a role in the trip.” Not everyone who has been asked to turn over their phone has complied with the request. The investigation is a”significant breach” of the independence the Justice Department has long maintained with the President. The Times has made the paper’s intent to fight the subpoenas in court clear. Worries about the plane, which is valued at approximately $400 million, surfaced last week after Trump unexpectedly announced a different plane would be sent to Mildenhall Air Force Base in England before he left the NATO summit. At the time, he said the swap was meant to give servicemembers stationed at the base the opportunity to tour the plane. Sources told CNN the new plane was “quickly retrofitted with defence capabilities but was still not as secure as the older version.” The entire scope of the potential security differences and problems has not… [TheTopNews] Read More.44 mins ago - Paramount Shareholders Accuse Ellisons of ‘Illegal’ Trump Deal in 4th Lawsui...
(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) David and Larry Ellison were named in a fourth lawsuit filed Tuesday by Paramount shareholders in an attempt to stop an impending merger between the company and Warner Bros. Discovery. The father-son pair was accused of striking a deal with President Donald Trump based on what the lawsuit called an “illegal bribery scheme.” In a lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court and reviewed by Mediaite, the shareholders claimed the Ellisons also promised widespread changes to CNN to get the merger approved by the president. The deal allegedly also includes a guarantee of up to $20 million in free advertising and an additional $16 million paid to Trump. The suit claims that the merger going through “would allow Paramount fiduciaries to profit from an illegal bribery scheme in breach of their fiduciary duties of loyalty to Paramount and otherwise in violation of bedrock Delaware corporate law.” “The media has widely reported that Lawrence and David Ellison promised illegal, private benefits to President Trump in exchange for approval of their last media mega-merger. Specifically, in order to ensure federal regulatory approval of the merger between Ellison-controlled Skydance Media, LLC (“Skydance”) and Paramount, the Ellisons promised President Trump up to $20 million in free advertising and reportedly encouraged Paramount’s prior ownership to settle a frivolous lawsuit the President had filed against CBS (owned by Paramount) in his personal capacity—effectively laundering a $16 million payment to President Trump through the courts,” added the filing. The $16 million payment stems from a settlement previously agreed to by the former ownership as part of a lawsuit Trump filed against CBS over a Kamala Harris interview. The $20 million figure appears to stem from Trump’s claim that he struck a “side deal” with David Ellison soon after the CBS lawsuit was settled and claimed Paramount said the company would “provide an additional $15 to $20 million worth of advertising to promote causes important to the president.” Variety reported at the time, July of 2025, “Trump now claims the settlement over his ’60 Minutes’ lawsuit is worth ‘over $36 million’ in total. Earlier this month, he told reporters that the settlement was worth ‘like $32 [million] to maybe $35 million.’” “Executives at Paramount were under the belief that settling President Trump’s lawsuit was a prerequisite for the FCC to clear the merger with Skydance and began negotiating a high-stakes settlement with President Trump in… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
