MeidasTouch commentator Adam Mockler repeatedly pressed CNN’s Scott Jennings on Tuesday over President Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S. had “won” the war in Iran. “We’ve won this,” Trump said once again on Tuesday. “This war has been won.” Jennings and Mockler joined NewsNight to discuss the ongoing military operation in Iran and the goals for the war as it extends into its third week. Jennings laid out his definition of success in the campaign, claiming Iran needed to be prevented from further funding terrorism. “To me, if you exit this and Iran that has a defanged, as it relates to missiles, as it relates to an aggressive navy, you take away their ability to make nuclear weapons, and you leave the remnant here unable to be a supporter of terrorism, that is an unequivocal win for the United States of America,” said Jennings. Mockler quickly hit back at Jennings, calling out the CNN commentator’s “very careful wording” and claiming it showed that Jennings disagreed with Trump’s statements on the war. He then pushed Jennings to state whether he agreed with Trump’s claim that the U.S. had “won” the war, sparring with the commentator in one of a couple of chaotic exchanges. MOCKLER: I want to show you the very careful wording Scott is using here. He’s saying, “if that happens,” which means that he disagrees with Trump’s statement that it already has happened. I also, I cannot believe you invoked an international coalition just two minutes ago, when Trump already tried that. Trump announced two weeks ago he was gathering an international coalition of ships to escort their– countries– to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Guess what? No countries answered because he spent the past year threatening to invade Greenland. So now– FORMER REP. VAL DEMMINGS: Matter of fact, he said he didn’t need him. MOCKLER: I mean, he said he didn’t need them. I was going to get there. Then he comes all the way back around to saying, “Listen, I didn’t break up with her.” Or no, sorry, “She didn’t break up with me. I broke up with her.” I didn’t need them in the first place. JENNINGS: You almost had it. You almost had it. MOCKLER: I almost had it. JENNINGS: You screwed it– MOCKLER: I want to ask you– JENNINGS: You screwed it up. MOCKLER: –do you agree, yes or no, do you agree with Trump that this war… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for Former Republican Governor
A judge in Kentucky issued an arrest warrant for former Governor Matt Bevin on Tuesday amid a legal battle with his estranged son. Jefferson Family Court Judge Angela Johnson found Bevin in contempt after she said the ex-governor ignored repeated orders to provide personal financial records in a child support case involving his adopted 19-year-old son, Jonah Bevin. Matt Bevin had been ordered to appear in the courtroom, but instead, he joined via Zoom, stating that he had been out of state for a funeral and was returning to Kentucky. Bevin did not say where he was dialing in from. It was the second time Bevin appeared in court via Zoom after being told to show up in person. “Your arrest warrant will be issued today,” Johnson told the former governor. She later issued a written order for his arrest and sentenced him to 60 days in jail unless he posts a $500 cash bond and submits “financial records, bank statements, tax returns and all other documents that would show the receipt of income.” It is unclear when the warrant would be served. The former governor alleged in a filing on Monday that the judge is making rulings based on a desire for media coverage. “She is using me as a political piñata,” the filing stated. Bevin is currently embroiled in an ongoing divorce case with his ex-wife, Glenna Bevin. Meanwhile, Jonah Bevin, whom Kentucky’s former first couple adopted from Ethiopia in 2012, alleges that the former governor used him to “boost” his 2015 gubernatorial campaign. Matt Bevin served one term as governor, losing his reelection bid to Andy Beshear. In one of his last acts as governor in 2019, Bevin pardoned a convicted child rapist because the victim’s “hymens were intact.” As one Kentucky medical examiner noted at the time, “Rape is not proved by hymen penetration… “He not only doesn’t know the law, in my humble opinion, he clearly doesn’t know medicine and anatomy.”The post Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for Former Republican Governor first appeared on Mediaite.

Demings argued the president has been “all over the place” on what the exact objective of his Iran strikes is and whether it’s even been accomplished. Jennings tried asking Demings a question on the war as she barreled forward by blasting Trump. “We’re having a debate, so I’m asking you a question: do you think Iran is a state sponsor of terror?” Jennings asked. “I think the president owes the American people an explanation for why it’s okay to send our sons and daughters into a war where 13 people have died,” Demings said. “Yelling is not an answer,” Jennings shot back as Demings continued. “So because you’re not prepared for this debate—” “Nobody’s yelling right now,” Hunt said, jumping in. “No one is,” Demings agreed. “Because you’re not prepared for this debate, let me tell you what the objectives are,” Jennings continued. “Number one, they are the world’s largest state supporter and exporter of terrorism. Number two, they have a ballistic missile program, which we found out this past weekend can reach most of Europe. Number three, they lie about their nuclear —” Jennings began as Demings jumped back in. “Is Europe at the table?” she asked, repeating the point about a lack of support from allies for the Iran effort. “I see now why you don’t know the objectives, because you don’t stop talking long enough to listen,” Jennings said as Demings continued. The pair continued the crosstalk until Hunt stepped in and said she was looking to jump to a video and then come back so they could get the debate “a little more on the rails.” “We have the president today saying that we are having that he is having conversations with the Iranians and that they gave him a present and that this is part of why he’s encouraged by the state of the negotiations,” she said. “I would like to play that moment for you, and then we’ll see if we can get our conversation a little more on… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Jen Psaki Savors ‘Unbelievably Delicious Rebuke’ of Trump as Democrat Wins H...MS NOW’s Jen Psaki called a Democrat’s win in a special Florida election an “unbelievably delicious rebuke” of President Donald Trump — especially since the district the Democrats will be representing includes Mar-a-Lago. Democrat Emily Gregory pulled off a major victory on Tuesday by winning in a state House seat in a special election against Republican Jon Maples, who had the support of the president. Trump also won Florida’s 87th District in the 2024 presidential election by 11 points. On Tuesday’s The Briefing, Psaki opened things up by taking sarcastic jabs at Trump over the Democratic flip along with fellow MS NOW host Chris Hayes. Psaki then kicked off her show with some news that she made no effort to hide she was more than happy about. She said: I just have to start tonight with that unbelievably delicious rebuke of Donald Trump in his literal backyard. I mean, yesterday was election day in Florida’s 87th state House District, which includes, as I was just talking with Chris about, Mar-a-Lago. And just to give you a sense of how this district has voted in the past, because this was there was no way that this was going to sail into a blue seat, a Republican candidate won there by 19 points in 2024, and Trump himself carried it by about 11 points in the presidential election. That was less than two years ago. And tonight, a Democrat is projected to flip that seat. Psaki noted Trump endorsed Maples and voted for him by mail, which she called “extra hilarious.” She gushed that there are “too many amazing things” about the Democratic flip for her to even list. Psaki added: Trump endorsed the Republican in this race. Trump himself voted in this election and voted by mail, which is extra hilarious given his relentless attacks on mail-in voting. And also he was literally in Florida at the time. So the list of things that are amazing about this Democratic flip is kind of — it’s kind of too long to go through right now. But here’s the big picture. It appears that this Florida seat is going to be the 29th legislative seat that Democrats have flipped since Trump’s second term began. Republicans, I should note, have flipped zero. Nada. None. No seats since the 2024 election. And all of those seats, Democrats have flipped all 29 of them.… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- TSA Agents Tipped Off ICE To Arrest Mother At San Francisco Airport
Samuel Rigelhaupt/Sipa USA via AP Images TSA flagged a woman arrested by ICE at a San Fransico airport this week in information the agency gave to immigration officials. Videos of the aggressive arrest of Angelina Lopez-Jimenez went viral this week after President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he would be deploying ICE agents to airports to combat hours-long delays brought on by the partial government shutdown. Government documents obtained by The New York Times show that TSA officials flagged both Lopez-Jimenez and her daughter, Wendy Godinez-Lopez, as persons the agency believed were issued deportation orders by a judge. TSA then shared this list, including the names and birth dates of travelers, with ICE, allowing immigration officials to more easily detain those flagged while in the airport. Lopez-Jimenez, originally from Guatemala, entered the country illegally but has no criminal record. She was issued a deportation order in 2019 at a hearing she did not attend, though she appeared at other appointments in her hearing process. DHS said in a statement on Monday that Lopez-Jimenez and her daughter were “illegal aliens” and that ICE was working to deport them back to Guatemala. The statement accused her of resisting arrest. It is unclear whether Lopez-Jimenez was aware of her deportation order. The officers who arrested her were in plainclothes. Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA), who represents the Bay Area district where Lopez-Jimenez lives, questioned the legality of TSA’s information-sharing processes. “The real story here is the way in which databases are being used,” he said in an interview with the Times. “A mother and her daughter are detained, and within 36 hours, they’re sent to Guatemala.” The practice of sharing information with ICE has been a point of contention for federal agencies beyond TSA. A legal challenge to IRS and DHS data sharing remains ongoing, with a judge ruling in February that the IRS broke the law “approximately 42,695” times by giving confidential information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.The post TSA Agents Tipped Off ICE To Arrest Mother At San Francisco Airport first appeared on Mediaite.
