Split-screen video shows President Donald Trump smiling as UFC fighter Josh Hokit attacked former first lady Michelle Obama at the White House Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event — but his next expression was more open to interpretation. After being delayed by some nasty weather, the Trump-backed “Freedom 250” organization’s UFC fight at the White House to celebrate Flag Day/Trump’s birthday finally got underway on Sunday night. But the biggest fireworks inside the Octagon didn’t happen during the fights. After the third bout, UFC heavyweight fighter Hokit blurted out a shocking slur — after thanking Jesus Christ and shouting out Trump’s “balls”— during a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan: PODCAST HOST JOE ROGAN: Yeah! Congratulations, sir. I’m here with the winner, Josh Hokit. Josh, once again, you proved the doubters wrong, moved to 10-0, and knocked out one of the biggest knockout artists in the history of the sport. UFC FIGHTER JOSH HOKIT: I’m the man with the plan, the beast that’s ready to feast. You know what? F*ck the speech. Hey, shout out to Trump for having the balls to put some sh*t like this on. And if I’m going to say anything, there’s only one person more incredible than the Incredible Hok, and that’s my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now listen, Alex Barrera, I want a Shama on your mama! And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America? PODCAST HOST JOE ROGAN: Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit! The attack drew widespread criticism across the ideological spectrum, but the White House has yet to comment directly on it. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung was confronted about Hokit’s comments, but offered a non-responsive answer. A secondary drama played out after Hokit’s victory. Livestream cameras showed the victor placing a custom commemorative chain around Trump’s neck at ringside seconds before his victory tirade. The split-screen also shows Trump smiling as Hokit makes the attack. But about 20 seconds later, Trump appears to think better of it, takes the chane off and puts it in his inside jacket pocket, and appears to do a “Yikes” cringe. A pool report from the event noted that “Trump took the chain off shortly after the Michelle Obama remark.” Watch above via Pool/Livestream splitscreen.The post WATCH: Split-Screen Shows Trump Smiled at Josh Hokit Attack on Michelle Obama at UFC — But Then… first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday that his agency thwarted an attack plan at President Donald Trump’s UFC event in Washington, DC. The event, UFC Freedom 250, took place on the White House lawn Sunday night. In a statement published Tuesday morning, Patel revealed the FBI uncovered Signal chats involving 23 people who were allegedly engaged in “discussing pre-operational activity.” The statement continued: On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold. While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens – particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here. I want to thank our great agents and partners, this work remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public as permitted.

In the first stage of the attack, explosive-laden drones were going to be used to target buildings in the area. The second stage involved a storming of the White House gates. Five people were taken into custody as of Monday.The post Kash Patel Claims FBI Thwarted Attack Involving Explosive Drone at Trump’s UFC White House Event first appeared on Mediaite.

In a scorching monologue on Monday night’s edition of The Daily Show, Stewart railed against the event put together by President Donald Trump — which took place on his 80th birthday. “What a God-awful mockery of an event that somehow managed to find a way to devalue both combat sports and our national dignity!” Stewart said. “Who even aired this embarrassing sh*t?!” Stewart than played a clip from a news segment that revealed, “the event aired on Paramount Plus” — putting it under the same corporate umbrella as The Daily Show. The revelation prompted him to sarcastically pivot. “And what a fine event it was,” Stewart said, meekly. “Once again, the leaders of Paramount Plus, providing us all with incredible content. Reasonable prices. I am proud to stand with the Paramount family and whatever shows they decide to either cancel or put on.” The Daily Show host then played the clip of UFC fighter Josh Hokit’s shocking attack on Michelle Obama in which he said, “Michelle Obama is a man.” “What a f*cking a**hole!” Stewart said. “You know what? Just… f*cking asshole.” Stewart then comically pivoted once more. “I look forward to his performance on next week’s Comics Unleashed,” he said softly — referring to the time-buy program that now airs in the slot that featured Stephen Colbert before his cancellation.

- Fox’s Greg Gutfeld Defends UFC Fighter Who Called Michelle Obama a Man: ‘We ...Fox News host Greg Gutfeld defended comments by UFC fighter Josh Hokit in which he called former First Lady Michelle Obama a man by downplaying it as the fighter just being a “troll,” and adding that the right enjoyed it when the left was “upset.” The controversy arose from what Hokit said after his match Sunday evening at the “UFC Freedom 250” match held on the White House South Lawn on the same day as President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday. After the heavyweight fighter won via TKO, leaving his undefeated UFC career intact, he had a triumphant interview with podcaster Joe Rogan. “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” Hokit yelled as a grinning Rogan held the microphone and the crowd offered a mixture of cheers and boos. Hokit got a lot of swift and loud condemnation, including from UFC President Dana White, who emphasized he supported free speech, “but I hate that kind of nonsense,” and was “completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families.” Barstool’s Dave Portnoy blasted Hokit for being among the “idiots” and “lunatics” who give UFC a bad name, and called on Trump to denounce what he’d said — but thus far, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung just dodged the question when asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper, only offering praise for Hokit’s prowess in the octagon. On Monday’s episode of The Five, co-host Jessica Tarlov (the day’s designated liberal member of the panel), was discussing the UFC event and remarked that she was “proud to be an American no matter who the president is,” and called it “important to spend some time” celebrating the country’s 250th birthday. UFC is “not my jam,” Tarlov noted, but “the flyover looked really cool.” However, she noted, her co-host Jesse Watters and others were saying the event was “about America’s birthday,” but “it was not lost on anyone that you could only watch it on Paramount+, on David Ellison’s streaming service, or that he’s paying the fighters in crypto and it’s the Trump family coin-” “Paramount owns UFC,” said Watters. “They own the rights.” “If it’s for all of us, they should have found a way so that all of us could watch,” Tarlov retorted, and then brought up what Hokit had said after his fight, at the end of the event. “That was his final message, so you had a… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Retired General Shreds Trump’s Iran Concessions on Fox News: ‘They Shouldnâ€...Fox News contributor and retired Gen. Jack Keane did not hold back when offering his thoughts on the memorandum of understanding that President Donald Trump signed with the Iranian government. The two sides said they agreed to a framework to discuss acceptable terms for ending the ongoing war, which began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in February. However, the memo has not been made public, and much of its contents remains fodder for speculation. Even longtime Trump media allies, such as Fox News host Mark Levin, have called on the administration to release the memo. One provision would reportedly allow access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, a measure acknowledged by Vice President JD Vance on Monday. He said that Iran “could” receive such a sum, but he added that none of the money would come from the U.S. That money would be contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and disposing of its nuclear material, which Trump has referred to as “nuclear dust.” Keane appeared on Monday’s Hannity, where he urged Trump to release the memo. “I think what the president should do is just, let’s release it and let people see what’s out there so we stop debating about something none of us are seeing,” Keane stated. Sean Hannity, who interviewed Vance earlier in the show, pushed back by saying if the Iranians “don’t abide, they get nothing out of the deal, and then I would imagine we go back to where we were last week.” “I want to believe that, but if you have a reliable high-level administration source saying, ‘We’re not going to get rid of the dust. We’re gonna downblend it,'” Keane replied, before slamming the fund: And they’re not going to take centrifuges out, and they’re not going to take the cascades out, which means you can have weapons-grade. And there’s going to be a moratorium in terms of, you can’t have a nuclear deal for 10, or 20 years, similar to the [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]. And the funding is real. There’s $300 billion investment fund. Who cares where the money comes from? If it doesn’t come from the United States, I get that. Of course it shouldn’t. But it shouldn’t come from anybody. I mean, when we recovered Germany and Japan, the Nazis weren’t in charge, the Japanese imperialists weren’t in charge. Here, the Iranians are… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
