- Chris Hayes Mocks Fox News Report on Trump’s Algae-Infested Reflecting Pool: â...
MS NOW’s Chris Hayes threw some shade at Jesse Watters Primetime producer Johnny Belisairo on Tuesday night over a segment that ran on Fox News the previous day. Hayes recapped the ongoing saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which President Donald Trump has fixated on in his second term. The president has insisted that his Democratic predecessors badly neglected the pool and that its state required his personal attention. However, the pool has been plagued by algae blooms in recent days, and workers have taken to dumping bottles of hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to kill the algae. “Trump is laser-focused on this in a way that, well, you really wish a president was not,” Hayes stated on Tuesday’s All In. “And so his government hired a Virginia contractor in a corrupt, noncompetitive process to fix what President Obama had supposedly ruined. And they agreed to pay the firm $13.1 million, seven times the amount Trump initially said the job would cost because it had to be done for the big Fourth of July celebration. The contractor inflated their profit margin, according to a government analysis of costs obtained by The New York Times, charging 20% for a job where the typical margin is six to 12%.” Hayes then posited that Trump became obsessed with the Reflecting Pool because he “got in his head that the reflecting pool was just like a swimming pool, and it should look clean and clear, like his swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago… except it’s not a pool you can swim in, because it’s not a swimming pool, and it doesn’t have the same cleaning systems or the same purpose. It’s a reflecting pool full of largely stagnant water. And so, as with so many Trump schemes, Americans are now stuck with a big, ugly mess, and conservatives are stuck pretending that it is all great, just great.” Hayes then aired a clip of Belisario reporting from the Reflecting Pool: BELISARIO: I’m here at the newly renovated Reflecting Pool. It’s painted American flag blue, and the Democrats are gonna tell you, “Oh, there’s green algae. It looks so bad.” But there’s pool guys cleaning it up right now. No other president would do that. But President Trump is still cleaning it up. HAYES: Does that guy realize we can see the water behind him?! But that’s their story. They’re sticking to it.

Vance sat down on Tuesday at The View table, and Behar offered some positive words after the fact despite her usual vocal criticism of the vice president and the administration. In a discussion with View executive producer Brian Teta on the Behind the Table podcast, Behar said she doesn’t believe Vance is a “bad guy” and she’d find it “interesting” to see him and a Democrat like California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) running against each other in 2028. “I’m getting a note here. You told him during the break that he should run for president because he had a good vibe,” Teta said. “I think that — even though for a Republican, mind you. I’m not a Republican. I think possibly I voted for Michael Bloomberg once for mayor who was supposedly,” Behar said, referring to the former New York City mayor. Behar claimed she doesn’t mind Republicans being elected on a local level. “I don’t mind a Republican on the city level because it needs a little discipline, but on the national level, I want somebody with a good heart, and those are more in the Democratic Party in my opinion. They care about the poor, they help people. The Republican Party is much more about saving taxes for rich people. So I’m not a Republican,” she said. She added about Vance, “Truthfully, as I said to you at the beginning of this conversation, I don’t think that he’s a bad guy. So if he runs against, say, Gavin Newsom, that would be an interesting debate to see those two because they’re both intelligent.” Behar joked later that President Donald Trump may be getting “jealous” after seeing the hosts of The View get along surprisingly well with Vance. She also added that where she drew the line with the vice president is him chalking up his past criticism of Trump (before joining his team) to the media’s depiction of the president. “Don’t give me that. That’s where I draw the line on the guy. Don’t blame me for the fact — you went to Yale law school, you can’t read between the lines? You can’t watch something and discern what’s going on? Come on,” she said. During his Tuesday appearance on… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- GOP Congresswoman Is ‘Worried’ That Knicks Parade Will Feature ‘Anti-Semit...
Fox Business Network Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said she is concerned that the New York Knicks’ victory parade on Thursday may be marred by anti-Semitism because the team’s star player is Jewish. The Knicks clinched their first NBA title in 53 years on Saturday by defeating the San Antonio Spurs in five games, thanks in large part to the efforts of Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who dropped 45 in the clinching game. Afterward, fans poured into the streets of New York to celebrate. A small portion of the revelers set school buses on fire, and a teenager was shot and wounded. Dozens of people were arrested. On Tuesday, Tenney appeared on Fox Business and condemned the destruction before suddenly taking a detour by noting that Brunson’s wife, Ali Marks, is Jewish and what that could mean for the parade. “I’m worried about the violence,” she said. “And yet, look at Jalen Brunson. What an amazing American citizen. His wife is Jewish. She’s a, you know, a physical therapist. Uh, are we gonna see more anti-Semitism in this parade? I hope not. I hope people can unify around sports. It’s one of the great things about sports is, we can unify. And we can put political differences aside, and I hope we’re gonna continue to do that.” Rep.

President Donald Trump attended Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, which hosted its first Finals game since 1999, when the Spurs defeated the Knicks. The president was thunderously booed, and New York lost the contest 115-111. It was the Knicks’ only loss of the series.The post GOP Congresswoman Is ‘Worried’ That Knicks Parade Will Feature ‘Anti-Semitism’ Because Jalen Brunson’s Wife Is Jewish first appeared on Mediaite.

Brandon Gill (R-TX) said Democrats need to “tone down the rhetoric” or they’ll create another Dietrich Bonhoeffer, an anti-Nazi activist pastor who was executed in World War II. Gill joined Fox Business on Tuesday, where he discussed threats surrounding Freedom 250 events, which included a UFC fight card outside the White House this week. According to the Department of Justice, five people were arrested and charged for a plot to attack and kill government officials attending this week’s fight event. Gill said both sides of the political aisle need to tone down the rhetoric, but particularly called out “the left.” He said: Well, I think the vice president is exactly right. We need both sides of the aisle, but particularly the left, to tone down the rhetoric. Listen, I that we can all agree or we all ought to be able to agree that political violence is always wrong, but the reality is whenever you have Democrats who are labeling Republicans Nazis every single day, calling ICE agents the Gestapo, you eventually expect something like this to happen. Somebody’s gonna listen to that and believe that they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that’s what we’re seeing here. Bonhoeffer was a German pastor and anti-Nazi activist who was executed by the Nazis in 1945, just weeks before the end of World War II. According to the FBI, a group procured weapons as part of the alleged plot to target government officials at Freedom 250. “The FBI, our law enforcement partners and our U.S. Attorneys did what they do every day to make America Safe through quick response and vigilance in investigating, disrupting, and dismantling this alleged plan before it could be carried out,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. “We will take immediate and aggressive action to identify and prosecute those who incite and plan acts of violence.” Watch above via Fox News.The post House Republican Says Democrats Should ‘Tone Down the Rhetoric’ or They’ll Create ‘The Next Dietrich Bonhoeffer’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- JD Vance Acknowledges UFC Plot ‘Didn’t Even Get Close to the Point of Execut...Vice President JD Vance acknowledged on Fox News that the individuals arrested by the FBI over a “potential threat” to Sunday’s UFC event at the White House were not far along in their planning. On Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “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.” Five people had been taken into custody as of Monday. Fox News reported that the FBI intercepted Signal chat messages among 23 individuals. Some of them allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event, which President Donald Trump hosted and attended, with drones and explosives. Vance appeared as a guest host on Tuesday’s edition of The Five on Fox News. “There was a lot of security there,” the vice president said. “And it turns out the plot was like, not that advanced. They weren’t in town. They had not really done that much planning. And so, I get why people are so fascinated by it. I do think the political violence and rhetoric in this country is out of control. But thank God we have good law enforcement. We’ve got good FBI because it didn’t even get close to the point of execution.” Earlier in the day, NBC News reported that the Secret Service was “furious” at Patel for “prematurely” announcing the plot because the case was still under seal and not every suspect was in custody. “And an amazing job by the FBI,” Jesse Watters told Vance. “Again, Kash Patel getting out in front of it so it never materialized.” Watch above via Fox News.The post JD Vance Acknowledges UFC Plot ‘Didn’t Even Get Close to the Point of Execution’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Fox’s Doocy Reports Trump Deal Gives $300 Billion to Iran: ‘Nobody Disputes ...Fox News’s senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy joined Will Cain on Tuesday to discuss the latest developments on President Donald Trump’s peace deal with Iran. Cain introduced Doocy after Trump spoke in Geneva and asked, “Could you hear what he said, Peter?” “Yes, and I agree with President Trump. He is very rich. But Will, you know, you’re talking about how we still have so much to learn about this memorandum of understanding. Today, a big thing is we learned why the Iranians are eager to sign on to this thing. Turns out, according to the Wall Street Journal, Iran is soon going to be able to start selling oil again on the global marketplace,” Doocy reported, adding: As soon as they sign this thing on Friday, they can start selling, and that is their main moneymaker. There’s also a lot of talk about this $300 billion fund that they may soon have access to. Nobody is disputing that that is a thing. The main point of contention is, President Trump wants people to know it’s not a thing paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Fox then played a clip of Vice President JD Vance from earlier in the day, saying, “And one of the questions I’m most often asked is, well, how is this different from the Obama JCPOA? And there are all of these answers I could give. Number one, we’re not giving them a red cent of American money — not $300 billion, not $24 billion, not any of the money, the dollar figures that I’ve seen floating around.” Doocy concluded, “And something different about this summit. Even though Donald Trump is not the host, he is just a guest here. He is being showered with gifts from G7 counterparts, including the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.” Fox then showed a clip of Trump received a jersey from the German leader as Doocy continued, “G7 economies are all affected by a closed Strait of Hormuz, and President Trump is here on the lookout for a thank you from these G7 leaders.” “We can talk about the Iran deal all day long, and we’re not investing any money. We have the right to do what we want, but we’re not investing in anybody. We didn’t pay for it like Obama did. He paid billions of dollars. He paid $1.7 billion from an airplane, all green cash.
