Former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd said the “only reason” that people think former President Barack Obama is liberal is “because he’s Black.” Todd claimed Obama “radicalized the far right” in an appearance on Monday’s episode of the So What podcast with host Chris Cillizza. “The far right viewed Obama as some left winger when Obama was basically a degree more liberal than Bill Clinton,” Todd said. Cillizza agreed, calling Obama “temperamentally a moderate,” though “probably liberal on policy.” However, Todd pushed back on the latter. “What policy was he that liberal on, Chris?” he asked. “It’s one of the biggest—” Cillizza cut him off to offer up his own explanation with a chuckle: “It’s because he was Black.” “Thank you, the only reason people think he was liberal is because he’s Black,” Todd said. “Like it’s this, he governed more closely to George W. Bush than Donald Trump.” Todd was critical of Obama throughout his presidency. In 2014, after Obama announced he would not consider any executive action on immigration until after midterms, he joined Todd on Meet the Press for a grilling. “What do you tell the person that’s going to get deported before the election, that this decision was essentially made in your hopes of saving a Democratic Senate?” Todd pressed. “It looks like election year politics.”’ Last month, Cillizza and Todd came under fire when White House Communications Director Steven Cheung accused them of racism following remarks the two made on The Chuck ToddCast. “Is he a real person?” Todd said of Cheung. “If you told me Steven Cheung were like a creation of AI… I just don’t believe he actually exists. I don’t think I’ve ever physically seen him.” He added, “He’s so over-the-top. No actual human being with 10 seconds of political training would behave this way.” Watch above via X.The post Chuck Todd Says the ‘Only Reason’ People Think Obama Is Liberal ‘Is Because He’s Black’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The co-hosts viewed a clip of former Vice President Kamala Harris telling Don Lemon, “In particular at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope but that we understand that that should be a verb.” As the co-hosts pointed out, ‘hope’ is often used as a verb. Watters then pivoted to California Governor Gavin Newsom, who praised former President Joe Biden last year, calling him “one of the most successful presidents in the last century, and that it Joe Biden. I will defend that to my grave.” Co-host Dana Perino responded by positing that Newsom is trying to distinguish himself from Harris, who has criticized Biden since the 2024 presidential election in which Biden dropped his reelection bid, and Harris took the nomination. “She’s throwing Biden under the bus,” Perino said. “Biden still has a lot of goodwill with the Black community. Gavin Newsom’s numbers with the Black community are very low. Kamala Harris’ are still fairly high, relatively high. So, he is trying to figure out a way to position himself in a way to say that says, ‘Let me be your champion because she won’t be.'” Watters responded with a question for Tarlov, who turned it around on him by alluding to his support of President Donald Trump: WATTERS: I hadn’t thought about it that way. Jessica, that makes a lot of sense. Or is like, blind loyalty to an idiot– does that override that? TARLOV: Well, you do blind loyalties to an idiot every day. Watters and Perino laughed, as did co-host Greg Gutfeld. “That idiot’s running circles around you guys, ok?” Watters responded.

AP Photo/Rahmat Gul Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) filed a motion seeking to remove the tarp from the front of the Kennedy Center and blasting President Donald Trump’s administration for its “petty act of defiance” of previous court orders. Shortly after his second inauguration, Trump appointed himself to the board for the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, and added several of his allies to the board as well, who then named him chair. The new Trump-controlled board voted to change the name to add the president’s name, and the center’s website, social media, and other digital branding were updated to say “The Trump Kennedy Center” and his name was added to the building’s façade. Beatty is a Kennedy Center board member and objected to the renaming. She filed a lawsuit in late December challenging the “illegal renaming,” arguing that “[b]ecause Congress named the center by statute, changing the Kennedy Center’s name requires an act of Congress.” She has been represented by a legal team led by Norm Eisen, along with the organization he co-founded, Democracy Defenders Action, and the Washington Litigation Group. Last month, Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ruled in Beatty’s favor, ordering Trump’s name to be removed from the Kennedy Center by Friday, June 12. On the day of the deadline, Trump filed a motion seeking a stay of the removal of his name, which Cooper denied, and Trump then appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, getting denied once again. Workers spent hours slowly putting up scaffolding in front of the Kennedy Center to reach the letters. Several commentators noted that when the letters were installed back in December, cherry pickers were used to do the job much quicker (see photo below), leading to speculation the scaffolding was ordered to create additional delays and give Trump’s appeals more time. AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin The midnight deadline came and went without a single letter being taken down, and Trump filed another request for a 12-hour delay, citing the “thunderstorms in the District of Columbia that presented safety concerns for workers.” The real reason for the scaffolding became clear later that evening when workers began hanging up large tarps that concealed their work removing the letters in Trump’s name and blocked the view of the Kennedy Center façade afterwards.

One order directs federal agencies to work with the private sector and universities to build a quantum computer that conducts scientific research by 2028. The other requires agencies to shore up the government’s computer systems to guard against hacking. Trump signed the orders in the Oval Office and asked Wright to speak on the matter. The secretary began with an anecdote involving Albert Einstein, but struggled with the timeline. TRUMP: You’ve done a great job. All of you. Chris Wright, please? WRIGHT: Thank you, Mr. President. So, a hundred tw–, a hundred twenty, a hundred forty-one years ago 141 years ago, Albert Einstein– hundred 121 years ago, Albert Einstein published a paper– TRUMP: Nobody cares. [laughter] WRIGHT: Good point. Good point! TRUMP: Usually, they won’t care WRIGHT: Published a paper on the photoelectric effect, recognizing the quantum behavior of light, that it came in quanta. Forty years 40 years after that, President Trump’s uncle, John Trump, was a pioneer in applying light radiation and the reflections of it to develop radar at the MIT Radiation Lab. Critical in D-Day. Critical, in the end, in winning World War II. The president has occasionally boasted of his uncle, who died in 1985. Last year, he claimed that John Trump taught Ted Kaczynski, who would later be known as The Unabomber, at MIT. However, Kaczynski did not attend the school. “The future of computing is going to be a three-legged stool,” Wright continued. “High performance computing. Basically Moore’s Law and semiconducting manufacturing. It’s artificial intelligence that everyone’s seeing and hearing about that’s supercharging it. The third leg of that computing stool is scientifically relevant quantum computing. This is tricky. We’re not there yet. We’re close. But with this executive order and this coordinated effort, we will have scientifically relevant, meaning error-corrected quantum computing during this administration. The impacts of it will be tremendous.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Trump Openly Mocks Cabinet Official By Telling Him ‘Nobody Cares’ About His Story first appeared on Mediaite.
