- Kasie Hunt Confronts Jim Jordan With Old Trump Quote Criticizing Obama: ‘Our P...
CNN’s Kasie Hunt pressed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) over an old clip of President Donald Trump, where he slammed former then-President Barack Obama for failing to negotiate with Iran. Jordan joined Thursday’s edition of The Arena to discuss the ongoing U.S. operation in Iran, and the future of the two week old campaign. The congressman told Hunt that Trump’s second term was characterized by fulfilling promises he made on the campaign trail, claiming the president would also keep his word on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Hunt pointed out that Trump had previously claimed Obama would start a war because he couldn’t negotiate with Iran, playing a series of clips of Trump’s words before pressing Jordan on the issue. Read their exchange below: HUNT: So you talked a little bit there about what the president said. I want to show you some of the things he said on the campaign trail, and even before he ended up on the presidential campaign trail. Let’s watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIPS) TRUMP: Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. … We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East. … We more and more are not wanting to be the policeman of the world. … I will expel the warmongers from our national security state. …. We’re going to end these endless wars, endless wars. … They’re drafting you to go and fight in some country that I’ve never heard. … They said, you will start a war I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars. (END VIDEO CLIP) HUNT: “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” How is that an example of President Trump doing what he said he was going to do? JORDAN: Kasie, he tried to. Go listen to the interview Mark Levin had with Steve Witkoff. They tried to negotiate with Iran, with the largest state sponsor of terrorism. They were willing to sit down with and try to figure this out, try to negotiate. And they could tell from those, quote, negotiations that Iran was committed to pursuing and getting a nuclear weapon. And they said there is no other alternative. Listen to that interview from the guy who was in the room with the people who run that country or who did run that country. So that is… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Confesses He Did Not ‘Prepare’ for Women’s History Month Event: ‘I...President Donald Trump took a detour during a Women’s History Month Event at the White House, which he said he did not prepare for. At one point, the president made some meandering remarks that involved Kaillie Humphries, a bobsledder who has represented Canada and the U.S. at the Winter Olympics. Humphries was in the audience as Trump said: But a person I recognized immediately when I came into the room, I looked down, I said, because I didn’t read. I can’t prep– if I prepare my speeches, I won’t have time to get things done, you know? Do you ever hear that? Yeah, I cannot prepare. So I didn’t know who the hell I was speaking to, but I walked in and saw this beautiful woman with the blonde hair. I watched that bobsled. I don’t know how the hell you do it, Kaillie. But Kaillie was the star, a big star of the Olympics, and other Olympics also. And she’s a six-time Olympic medalist. Think of that. And she’s won more gold medals than any other female bobsledder in history. She’s a total champion. I watched the whole deal with you. You were getting ready and they said, “Maybe, I don’t know. She was prime, prime eight years ago,” they said. That was terrible. Then you ended up winning again, you know? You’re gonna be prime for a long time, I’ll tell you that. What a tremendous athlete. Trump called Humphries to the lectern, where she presented Trump with The Order of Ikkos, which “is presented by Team USA medal-winning athletes to a coach, mentor or other individual who has been instrumental in their success.” The president was fixated on the Winter Olympics last month in Milan and gleefully celebrated the U.S. men’s hockey team’s 2-1 overtime victory over Canada. During a postgame phone call, Trump told the players, “And we have to, I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team.” Trump even introduced the men’s hockey team during his State of the Union address. Meanwhile, the women’s team declined the president’s invitation to the speech.

Central to her craft, she praised “solitude,” in which her “creative mind dances.” President Donald Trump and Melania Trump hosted the event in recognition of Women’s History Month. According to the White House, working mothers and women who are leaders across a wide variety of industries, from athletics to government, attended. Melania Trump praised the “effective women” in attendance for finding “unique ways to balance career ambition and family” before turning to her own merits. “As a visionary, I know success is not born overnight, but rather, takes shape after a long, and sometimes challenging process,” she said. “Often alone at the top, I follow my passion, listen to my instinct, and always maintain a laser focus. In solitude, my creative mind dances—filling my imagination with originality. Attention to detail, demanding schedules, and multi-tasking are everyday realities when building towards success. This principle resonates across all my roles: as a mother, humanitarian, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. As well as with my new film, where I shaped its creative direction, served as producer, managed post-production, and activated the marketing campaign.” Her documentary, Melania, pulled in $7 million domestically in its opening weekend alone. The film reportedly cost Amazon MGM $40 million to produce and had an additional $35 million marketing budget. The First Lady continued by emphasizing the importance of curiosity across her roles. “Curiosity is a core value that keeps me ahead of the curve,” she said. “Curiosity begets knowledge, opening doors to ideas and industries that I may have otherwise overlooked. This unrestricted mindset has led me to build across very different sectors: fashion, digital assets, publishing, accessories, skincare, commercial television, and of course, filmmaking. The lessons I learned when launching my earliest ventures, such as how to build a brand, create superior product design, and activate an advertising campaign, remain just as relevant today. Markets evolve, technologies change, but the fundamentals of thoughtful leadership and continuous learning are everlasting.” Prior to introducing the President as someone who “has demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting women in leadership roles,” she encouraged all women to turn to “inspiration.” “To all of the young women, entrepreneurs, and future leaders: Make time for yourself, educate yourself daily, and spread your passion,” she said. “Be… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Jessica Tarlov Says Trump Should Go Get the Alleged Sleeper Cells He Claims Gove...Fox News host Jessica Tarlov said she believed President Donald Trump should go after the alleged sleeper cells he claimed the government had “eyes on.” Tarlov joined Thursday’s edition of The Five to discuss, among other topics, the recent shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, that left one dead and two injured. The event is being investigated as an act of terrorism, authorities said. The gunman, identified as Mohamed Jalloh, died in the attack. Jalloh pleaded guilty in 2017 to attempting to provide material services to the designated terrorist organization, the Islamic State. His previous conviction sparked debate on The Five over combating terrorism in the U.S., prompting Tarlov to invoke the president’s statement on “sleeper cells” made on Wednesday to Fox’s Peter Doocy. The federal government recently sent an alert to law enforcement agencies, ABC News reported, warning of potential activation of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. triggered by the ongoing military operation in Iran. Doocy asked Trump about these rumors after his rally in Kentucky, questioning the president over whether he had been briefed on the subject. “I have been. And a lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border. But we know where most of them are,” said Trump. “We’ve got our eye on all of them, I think.” Tarlov told the panel that if the president knew where the cells were located, he should go after them, prompting fierce pushback from co-hosts. Read their exchange below: TARLOV: Great. So I would advocate for you going and getting them because in these conditions, this is obviously going to be happening more and more often. The border was Trump’s best issue. He is still in positive territory on securing the border, making sure no one gets in here– GREG GUTFELD: Who do you send? What happens when all of these protesters show up to block you? TARLOV: Who do you send? You send the FBI agent. Whoever the right– JESSE WATTERS: Not ICE. GUTFELD: Not ICE. Can’t send ICE. TARLOV: Are you guys really turning this into some sort of– GUTFELD: Because no, because we’re used to it. We know that when you guys like, you say get rid of the worst first, but then you didn’t do that– TARLOV: And then you just pick up everybody, and we’re like, “Don’t do that.” GUTFELD: Because you guys let in everybody. TARLOV: But not everybody committed… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Dem Senator Directly Blames Hegseth And Trump Budget Cuts For Bombing of Iranian...Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) joined CNN anchor Sara Sidner on Thursday to discuss the bombing of an elementary school in Iran, which is widely thought to have been the result of a U.S. targeting error. Sidner began the interview, “I want to ask you about this bombing of an elementary school that killed dozens of children and many more civilians. Sources at CNN say that the U.S. Military used outdated images of an area that it struck in Iran, which led to that deadly strike. You argue that there was something in place that could have prevented something like this from happening. What’s the argument?” Kim replied, “The argument is that, a couple of years ago, I worked alongside my colleagues to pass into law something called the Civilian Protection Center. This is something that’s at the Department of Defense, at the Pentagon—something that has personnel who are focused on this effort of ensuring protection of civilians, of reducing the risks that we see unfold here.” He added: The problem, though, is Secretary Hegseth decided to gut this office last year and has dramatically reduced the staff, not implementing the budget that is necessary. Again, this was a bipartisan piece of legislation passed into law that I helped draft. Because of this—you know, I worked at the National Security Council. I’ve been there for targeting packages for a president to approve. This fault lies directly on President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. They are clearly the ones who gave the orders in terms of how they should go about the risk analysis. And without this type of office, it shows just how much this administration has deprioritized the protection of civilians. And now we find ourselves facing one of the worst losses of civilian life at the hands of Americans in decades. Sidner added, “And more than a week on, we’re still waiting for the full report to be made public.” “There needs to be a thorough investigation,” Kim replied. “You’re asking for a thorough investigation, as are some of your colleagues—Senator Andy Kim, not just…” Sidner continued as Kim jumped to say, “Well, I’m just saying not just of the strike, but also why they have cut this office and reduced our abilities to protect civilians.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post Dem Senator Directly Blames Hegseth And Trump Budget Cuts For Bombing of Iranian Girls’ School… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
