- Jillian Michaels Unloads on Joy Reid for Claiming She Was Fired over Israel Crit...
During a Friday episode of her podcast Keeping It Real, fitness influencer Jillian Michaels unloaded on independent journalist and former MS NOW host Joy Reid for claiming she was fired from the network over her criticism of Israel. In February of 2025, it was reported that then-MSNBC would be cancelling Reid’s weeknight show, The ReidOut, and that she’d be leaving the network for good. On Friday, Michaels reacted to a recent clip of Reid at Sunday’s “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment,” in which she expressed fear over the state of journalism — including the “far-right ideologues” at CBS — and claimed that she was fired because she was both “standing up to [President Donald Trump’s] administration” and “speaking out against a genocide.” “First of all, Joy, you don’t have a job,” said Michaels, “because your ratings dropped in half before they fired you.” Notably, Reid now hosts The Joy Reid Show on YouTube. “And the reason that your ratings dropped in half, and this may come as a surprise to you because you continue to do it, is because white people who are not racist are sick and tired of you calling them racist,” she added. “That’s the real answer to why you’re no longer on MSNBC, because I promise you, it isn’t ‘Israel’ or ‘the Jews’ because you call that a genocide.” Michaels continued: The left is currently licking the rear end of individuals that do that, like [streamer] Hasan Piker, for example, when he joins all of their broadcasts — on CNN, on all their top podcasts, on MSNBC, gets glazed and fluffed by The New York Times. That’s definitely not it. It’s because you’re not making them any money, and the reason you’re not making them any money is because you regularly call their viewers racist.

Screenshot via social media Astead Herndon, the former New York Times reporter turned Vox podcaster, asked progressive House Candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier this week if she still believed “all deportations are wrong” in a clip that quickly went viral online and sparked derision from both sides of the aisle. In the clip, Herndon presses Chevalier, a Zohran Mamdani–backed member of the Democratic Socialists of America, on some of her more controversial past tweets. Chevalier is challenging longtime Democratic Party incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat (R-NY) in his upper Manhattan district in a race polls show is a toss-up between the two candidates. “I still want to ask about two tweets specifically because I think they are relevant to the race. The first is ‘all deportation is wrong.’ Now in Congress, obviously, that comes with a lot of questions about immigration enforcement, and even as Democrats might agree with calls that you have shared to things like ‘abolish ICE,’ I don’t know if they’re necessarily there on things like ‘all deportations is wrong.’ Is that something you still believe?” Herndon asked. Chevalier replied, “That phrase, yes, I still believe that all deportations are wrong.” “Even if we’re talking about illegal entry to the country, or someone who may have committed a crime?” Herndon pressed. Chevalier answered, “So, when we’re talking about things like illegal entry, we’re actually talking about administrative laws, right? We’re not talking about criminal law, right?” “Let me concede the question of people who have not committed a crime, because I think that that’s not really the question. Like, if we’re saying all deportation is wrong, though, that would seem to also include people who were convicted of breaking U.S. criminal law. Is the deportation of those people wrong?” Herndon offered. “Yes. And the reason I say that is because we have a criminal system. It isn’t perfect, but it exists. And it is one that, if we accept as the process by which we want to engage with these issues, right — the issues of harm, issues of criminality, what have you — then we need to make sure that it isn’t also discriminatory on the basis of where people were born, right?” Chevalier replied, adding: To subject someone who has committed a crime to both a criminal system, and then additionally to an immigration system that also detains them in the very same facilities that people who… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘So Unbelievably Radioactive’: Jonah Goldberg Slams ‘Delusional’ Trump F...Conservative journalist Jonah Goldberg slammed President Donald Trump on CNN’s Inside Politics for alienating U.S. allies like Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni. Meloni fired back Friday at Trump’s claim that she “begged” him for a photo at the G7 this week, and that he acquiesced because he “felt sorry for her.” Host Phil Mattingly, in for Dana Bash, played video of Meloni saying, “Donald Trump’s statements are completely made up. I am frankly astonished. I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves like this toward his allies. It’s not the first time. Moreover, I can only say it is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the west and of the United States, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence. There is one thing he should remember: neither I, nor Italy, ever beg.” Goldberg began talking about ally alienation by referencing a sit-down interview Trump had with Axios Thursday, where he claimed he achieved “unconditional surrender” from Iran, and there were “no limits” on his power. “Let’s go back to the context of that interview where he says, ‘We totally defeated Iran militarily. There are no limits to my power,'” Goldberg said. “The fact that he’s coming out of this week with this deal, saying that there are no limits to his power when he was forced to negotiate ending a blockade to open up the Strait of Hormuz is preposterous.” Goldberg continued: And why was the Strait of Hormuz such a problem? They begged to get allies to come in and help with the minesweeping, because our European allies have better equipment for that kind of stuff. Couldn’t get them to do it. Why couldn’t they get them to do it? Because he threatened to militarily take over Greenland, and made himself so unbelievably radioactive. The most brilliant thing Trump did, he was already unpopular in the middle and with the left in Europe. But the Greenland thing made the nationalists hate him, too. And so, the idea that all these allies were going to jump and help him out in the Strait of Hormuz, when it would be political suicide for any elected leader in Europe to act to save Trump’s bacon about anything. I think his approval rating in Denmark is like 4%, right? So like, those are limits to his power! We would… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- Barack Obama Claims Trump’s Iran Agreement May Have Left The US ‘Worse Offâ€...Former President Barack Obama claimed Friday that the U.S. may be “worse off” now than before President Donald Trump began striking Iran. Obama made the remark on NBC’s Today Show, after host Craig Melvin mentioned there was a section of the new Obama Presidential Center “dedicated to his work on the Iran nuclear deal,” known as the JPCOA, which went into effect in 2016. Trump scrapped the deal in favor of his 14-point Memorandum of Understanding with Iran that called for a 60-day ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and $300 billion in reparation money, among other provisions. “What do you make of what we know about the deal so far?” Melvin asked. “I am very happy to see a ceasefire, and I’m hopeful that it holds, but in terms of what was the original rationale for this war which was — there was a deal in place in which Iran had agreed not to develop nuclear weapons,” Obama said. “This administration — or a prior version of this administration — pulled out of it, which caused then Iran to develop more nuclear capacity. We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military, a lot of people have died, and it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war except maybe a little bit worse off.” Trump has lashed out at “fools” who have called the MOU a bad deal for the U.S. He wrote on Truth Social this week, “These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! President DJT.” Trump spoke about his reasoning for signing the MOU at the G7 summit in Switzerland, saying, “So the one thing I didn’t want to see is — I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened. But all I know is, every time we talked about the possibility of peace, the stock market shot up like a rocket ship.” Watch the video above via NBC News’s The Today Show.The post Barack Obama Claims Trump’s Iran Agreement May Have Left The US ‘Worse Off’ Than Before The War first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘We Were More Difficult?’ View Hosts Shocked to Hear JD Vance Cite Appearanc...The hosts of The View were surprised to hear their show cited by Vice President JD Vance while he was discussing negotiating with Iran. Vance appeared on The View on Tuesday and on the following day he held a press conference in which he jokingly cited his tense debates with the hosts — and specifically Joy Behar — as proof he can handle negotiating with Iran. On Friday, a previously-scheduled trip for Vance to formally sign a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran was postponed amid fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. A ceasefire in Lebanon has since been reportedly put in place. Vance said: Now, I have seen some progressive criticisms of me personally saying, “What experience does the vice president of the United States have with hostile, high-stakes negotiations?’” Vance told reporters. “And I would point those progressive critics to the fact that just two days ago, I spent over an hour on The View. So I actually have great experience in very hostile negotiations, and I’ve used that— I mean, look, Joy Behar is way tougher than the Iranians. And she and I are best friends now. “What?! What?!” a shocked Sunny Hostin said on Friday after watching the clip as the hosts and audience erupted in laughter. “We were more difficult to deal with than the Iranian government?” “He’s being funny, I think,” Behar said. Ana Navarro said she wished Behar had been the one negotiating. She later went on to say she understood Vance was joking, but the situation is “serious” and she argued he lacked experience. Navarro accused Vance of repeatedly lying during his appearance on The View. “I respect the office,” said Behar. “He, you know — I believe in reaching across the aisle. I do. This is why MAGA Republicans, they’re coming around.” Behar previously revealed that she told Vance to run for president during his visit to the table. “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 had said. “I want to know why were you so in love with JD Vance?” Hostin asked Behar on Friday. “Look, I’m not in love with him and I’m not in love with this administration,”… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- CNN’s Harry Enten Breaks Down ‘Stunning’ Rise of Democratic Socialists in ...CNN senior data correspondent Harry Enten reported on Friday on what he called one of the most “stunning” trends he’s “seen in covering politics over the last 15, 16 years” – the rise of democratic socialists inside the Democratic Party. Anchor John Berman kicked off the segment, asking, “So when we talk about democratic socialists, how are they viewed inside the Democratic Party?” Enten replied, “Yeah, you know, you mention New York, you mentioned Vermont, obviously, there’s the D.C. mayor. We’ve seen it in Pennsylvania as well. The Democratic Socialists seem to be doing considerably better than they used to be, and they have the chance to knock off, in fact, Democratic incumbents in Congress.” “And part of the reason for that, why we’re seeing these Democratic Socialists having such good chances, or downright outright winning nominations, is — take a look here. Net favorability among Dems, Democratic Socialists of America — look at that, a plus-17-point net favorability rating among Democrats,” Enten explained, adding: That is actually better — that is better than how congressional Democrats are viewed by Democrats, at just plus four points. So, no wonder Democratic socialists have such a good chance, because, simply put, they are a better brand at this point than Democrats in Congress. Berman followed up, “Among Democrats, it’s interesting to see who they like more. All right, and you’ve used this number before. I always find this fascinating: when you compare socialism to capitalism, how are they doing right now?” “Yeah, how are they doing right now among Democrats? You see this — Democratic Socialists of America more positive than congressional Democrats. And I’ll tell you, take a look at the trend line, the favorable rating among Democrats on socialism. Thank you. Look at this: in 2010, they were about equal — 50% had a favorable view of socialism, 51% said the same about capitalism,” Enten replied, adding: But capitalism has absolutely fallen through the floor. Look at this: it’s now just 42% of Democrats who have a favorable view of capitalism. Socialism, on the other hand, up like a rocket — look at this, two in three Democrats have a favorable view of socialism. So socialism is on the rise among Democrats, capitalism is on a decline among Democrats. And again, this is part of the longer-term trend in which we are seeing Democratic Socialists doing considerably better… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
