Fox News host Mark Levin urged President Donald Trump to cut off talks with Iran and to commence military action against the country. Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Middle East as negotiations continue between the two countries via Oman, whose foreign minister, Badr Albusaidi, said talks have made “substantial progress.” In an interview with Margaret Brennan of Face the Nation on CBS News, Albusaidi said a “peace deal is within our reach” and that Iran has agreed that it will “never, ever have … nuclear material that will create a bomb.” He added that more time is needed to finalize details. Levin appeared on Friday’s edition of Hannity on Fox News, where he advised Trump to end negotiations and to start bombing. “There’s a time for negotiation, there is a time for diplomacy, and I think the president has demonstrated he’s bent over backwards that that time does not last forever, that that time is up!” Levin said. “And it’s not us going to war with Iran… They’ve been at war with us for half a century! They’ve killed over 1,000 Americans! They have maimed tens of thousands of Americans! We don’t need to put up with that. It’s time to put it to an end.” Sean Hannity responded by drawing a parallel between the Iranian mullahs and Adolf Hitler, just as he likened Saddam Hussein to the Nazi leader during the Iraq war more than 20 years ago. “How can people be so ignorant?” Hannity asked. “If you knew after what Hitler did, you could stop it ahead of time, wouldn’t you wanna do it? Because I think that’s the same radical mindset that’s in Iran and people don’t want to see it, put their head in the sand or what?” “The isolationists brought us Hitler,” Levin responded. “You had isolationists in Britain. You had isolationists in the United States. And it wasn’t until we were hit in Pearl Harbor that the country turned around. Do we really need to be hit again, this time by a nuclear weapon? Do we really wanna risk it? What is isolationism? The enemy is not isolated, the enemy’s not pacifistic, the enemy is not appeasing. The enemy wants to destroy us!” Watch above via Fox News.The post Fox’s Mark Levin Tells Trump To End Talks With Iran and Start Bombing: ‘Time Is Up!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

CBS News/Face the Nation “Substantial progress” has been made in negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi told CBS News on Friday. Albusaidi has mediated talks between the two countries in recent weeks as President Donald Trump has escalated tensions by ordering a massive military buildup near Iran. The U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear sites last summer, and Trump declared the country’s nuclear facilities to be “totally obliterated.” But now the Trump administration is demanding that Iran re-obliterate its main nuclear sites and hand over its enriched uranium. Iran has balked at the idea, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. On Friday, however, Albusaidi told CBS News that a “peace deal is within our reach.” In an interview with Margaret Brennan of Face the Nation, Albusaidi said a “peace deal is within our reach” and that Iran has agreed that it will “never, ever have … nuclear material that will create a bomb.” “There would be zero accumulation, zero stockpiling, and full verification,” Albusaidi stated, adding that weapons inspections would be conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, with possibly an American contingent as well.

The country has long insisted that its enrichment programs are for civilian use and that it is not seeking to achieve weapons-grade uranium, which is above 90% enrichment. On Friday, Trump said Iran must stop enrichment entirely. “Not 20%, 30%, they always want 20%, 30%, they want it for civilian, you know, for civil. I think it’s uncivil,” he told reporters. Albusaidi said that negotiators “need a little bit more time” to finalize details. Iran had previously agreed to scale back enrichment activities while allowing more thorough nuclear inspections as part of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which was signed by all five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (U.S., U.K., China, Russia, and France) and the European Union. Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018.The post Mediator in… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Former Trump AI Adviser Torches President’s War on Anthropic: ‘Attempted Cor...
AP Photo/Evan Vucci A former senior artificial intelligence adviser to President Donald Trump lambasted the president’s treatment of Anthropic for failing to cave to the president’s demands. On Friday, Trump ordered the federal government not to use the AI company’s products after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused to make the company’s technology available for use in domestic mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. The Department of Defense gave Anthropic a Friday deadline to drop its conditions or lose its government contract, which is worth as much as $200 million. Anthropic reported $14 billion in revenue last year and is planning an initial public offering later this year. The company is valued at $380 billion. In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump wrote, “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS!” After Trump’s announcement, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth labelled Anthropic a supply chain risk that threatens national security and would blacklist it from working with other military contractors. Dean W. Ball, the aforementioned ex-Trump adviser on AI, said the development is beyond troubling. Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States. — Dean W. Ball (@deanwball) February 27, 2026 “Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way,” Ball wrote. “This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.” On Tuesday, it was reported that Hegseth had reportedly floated using the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to drop its limitations.The post Former Trump AI Adviser Torches President’s War on Anthropic: ‘Attempted Corporate Murder’ first appeared on Mediaite.

President Trump is terminating the government’s relationship with Anthropic, an AI company whose products, until recently, were used by Pentagon officials for classified operations. Following a weekslong standoff with the company, Trump posted on Truth Social this afternoon that all federal agencies must “IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology,” adding: “We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!” The General Services Administration announced that it would take action against Anthropic’s products, and indeed, according to an email I obtained that was sent to the leadership of all agencies using USAi—a GSA platform that provides chatbots from tech companies to government workers—access to Anthropic was suspended “immediately.” The government is also removing Anthropic from its primary procurement system, which is the key way for any federal agency to purchase a commercial product.Anthropic was awarded a $200 million contract with the Pentagon last summer geared toward providing versions of its technology for military use. OpenAI, Google, and xAI were awarded similar contracts, though Anthropic’s Claude models are the only advanced generative-AI programs to receive Pentagon security clearance permitting the handling of secret and classified data. Claude had been integrated across the Department of Defense and was reportedly used to assist the raid on Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.Anthropic has said that it will not allow Claude to be used for mass domestic surveillance or to enable fully autonomous weaponry, which could involve applications such as Claude selecting and killing targets with drones, and analyzing data that have been indiscriminately gathered on Americans by the intelligence community. Anthropic has also said that the Pentagon never included such uses in its contracts with the firm. But now DOD is demanding unrestricted use of Claude and accusing Anthropic of trying to control the military and “putting our nation’s safety at risk” by refusing to comply.Following a heated meeting on Tuesday, DOD gave Anthropic until today at 5:01 p.m. eastern time to acquiesce to its demands. If not, the Pentagon would compel the company under an emergency wartime law called the Defense Production Act or, even more severe, designate Anthropic a “supply-chain risk,” which could forbid any organization that works with the U.S. military to do business with the AI company. Shortly after Trump’s announcement, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that he was doing just that.

In a Thursday night appearance on Fox’s Gutfeld!, Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya wildly claimed that “almost 30% of Californians are homeless,” when in reality, the figure lies around 0.47%. When asked by Fox’s Greg Gutfeld to comment on a clip of Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA), Tafoya, a former NFL sideline reporter and podcast host, said, “I can’t think of anything scarier than Gavin Newsom.” She went on to list an assortment of qualms she has with the governor — including a population decline during his governorship, high gas prices, “abysmal” test scores, and the state’s response to both last January’s devastating Palisades Fire and the COVID-19 pandemic — before landing on homelessness. “Almost 30% of Californians are homeless on any given night. 30%!” she emphasized. At least one “what?” could be heard in the background, though it’s not clear who on the panel spoke. Notably, along with Gutfeld, celebrity doctor Drew Pinsky, actor Zachary Levi, and Fox contributor Kat Timpf were also present. “That is the largest margin by far,” continued Tafoya. “30%?!” exclaimed Gutfeld, looking beyond puzzled. Stumbling a bit, Tafoya corrected herself, glancing down at her lap: “I think it’s 28%, so close to 30% of their population is homeless on any given night.” “Does that just mean they go out to dinner, and they’re not at home for a little while?” asked Timpf, seeming doubtful as well. “Maybe!” Tafoya responded, seemingly in an attempt to laugh off her blunder. “For me, if you want hellscape, dystopia, scary, Gavin Newsom’s your man.” In an essential fact-check, CNN’s Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper wrote on Friday via X, “California has a homelessness problem, with an estimated 187,000 homeless. California does not have 12 million homeless people.” California has a homelessness problem, with an estimated 187,000 homeless. California does not have 12 million homeless people. https://t.co/deOVo7RJT8 — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 28, 2026 Here, Tapper’s 12 million figure refers to 30% of California’s population of 40 million, just as Tafoya claimed.
