- ‘My Name Is Not Scott’: Hannity Interview With Democratic Candidate Gets Off...
An interview between Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Democratic socialist congressional candidate Chris Rabb took an awkward turn Wednesday when Hannity corrected his guest for calling him “Scott,” emphasizing, “My name is Sean.” Rabb, currently a Pennsylvania state representative, won his district’s Democratic primary in May. He’s a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who endorsed his campaign, along with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Ro Khanna (D-CA), and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). Before letting his guest speak on Wednesday, Hannity made sure to list Rabb’s “radical positions,” including “Medicare for all, universal basic income, federal jobs guarantees,” and more. “In other words,” explained Hannity, “what he is saying is he would not just reshape our institutions — he would tear them down… Chris, I appreciate you coming.” “My pleasure,” responded Rabb. “Thank you, Scott.” “Uh, my name is not Scott,” said Hannity, seemingly confused. “My name is Sean, but that’s okay.” Raising his eyebrows, Rabb quickly corrected himself, replying, “Apologies.” “Nah, no worries, no worries,” allowed Hannity. The interview continued in a relatively tense manner, with Hannity pressing Rabb on the DSA platform, asking “yes or no” questions like, “You want to eliminate the U.S. Senate?” “Um, that’s not really what I ran on,” said the Pennsylvania state representative. “That’s the DSA national platform. I’m the Democratic nominee for the 3rd Congressional District.” “Do you want amnesty for illegals and to abolish borders?” asked the Fox News host. “What are illegals?” Rabb hit back. “Illegal immigrants,” stressed Hannity. “People that didn’t respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, and entered the country without permission.” “Yeah, I don’t accept the premise of that question,” said Rabb. “These are not criminal acts.” “Excuse me,” snapped Hannity. “If you enter our country illegally, uh, by definition, that is a criminal act.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post ‘My Name Is Not Scott’: Hannity Interview With Democratic Candidate Gets Off to Rough Start first appeared on Mediaite.

Although the BBC later corrected the segment and apologized for the editing, it refused to offer financial compensation, prompting Trump to file a $10 billion defamation suit in December. As the case moves toward a scheduled February 2027 trial, a federal judge recently ordered Trump to produce financial records after finding his sweeping claims of damage to his business empire put those records at issue. Yet on Wednesday, the president’s attorneys filed an emergency stay motion asking U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett to lift that order. Appearing as a guest on the Wednesday edition of Mediaite founder Dan Abrams’ SiriusXM radio show, Cohen invoked his own legal history with Trump. In 2023, the president dropped a $500 million lawsuit against his former lawyer for “disparaging” him with “the publication of two books, a podcast series, and innumerable mainstream media appearances.” Despite making a case for the validity of Trump’s BBC suit, Cohen added, “Do I think that this is a good move for Trump at this point in time? I do not.” “I don’t think that this is a winnable case,” he continued. “I don’t think that this is a smart move for him. I don’t think that the legal team, probably, gave him the best advice on it. I think that they were probably looking more to the settlements — whether it was CBS or ABC — where they folded and they just rolled over and put money into an account for Trump for the presidential library. Not every case is going to go that way, and certainly not this one with the BBC.” “I think that there’s too much at stake for him,” concluded Cohen in his prediction that Trump will drop the suit.

- Trump Rages at ‘LOWLIFE’ Michael Moore: ‘You’ve Been a Loser All Your Li...
AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta President Donald Trump unloaded on Michael Moore on Wednesday night after the filmmaker implored progressive Democrats to overthrow the party’s establishment. On Tuesday, Moore joined CNN’s election coverage, much of which focused on the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan, where Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official, defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, the preferred candidate of Democratic Party leadership. The race was the most expensive primary in history, as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent more than $30 million in ad buys to boost Stevens, a supporter of Israel. El-Sayed has said he wants the U.S. to end aid and arms shipments to the country. Stevens had a nine-to-one spending advantage in the race overall. Moore was asked on CNN if Democrats “require a change in the establishment.” “If I could get on my knees and beg it would be for exactly what you said, because we are not going to win the other way,” Moore replied. “We lost that way in ’24. It’s not going to happen if we allow this to happen. We are in charge of this and we need to get busy right now.” Moore, who slammed Democratic Party establishment “hacks,” went on to praise El-Sayed. “I’ve known Dr. El-Sayed for many years, I worked on his campaign for governor in 2018,” Moore said of his fellow Michigander. “Boy, we would be so lucky if he were our senator, representing us, and standing up for the people who are dying, dying every day over there,” Moore said. The filmmaker’s remarks apparently caught the eye of Trump, who in a Truth Social post on Wednesday wrote: Michael Moore, the failed political “pundit” who has been losing to me for years, was ranting that, “We lost in 2024, and just can’t take it anymore.” No Michael, just get used to more losing! You’ve been a Loser all your life, and nothing’s going to change. Abdul, your new Communist Comrade, will not be able to save you. He knows you are a failed LOWLIFE, and he wants to pick up where you have left. For thousands of years, the concept of Communist Policies have never worked, and they’re not going to work now, especially under the tremendous transformational SUCCESS that the Trump Administration has brought forth, for the entire World to see and follow — Best Economic Numbers, EVER, Best Trade Numbers,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - JD Vance Says He’s ‘Happy’ To Take Blame for Iran ImpasseVice President JD Vance told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham emphatically on Wednesday that he’s “happy” to shoulder the blame for the United States’ prolonged war in Iran. “This is a sticking point with young voters,” Ingraham pointed out. “We keep hearing there’s progress, and then two days later, there’s no progress… What can you tell the American people? I know you don’t want to get ahead of the president [Donald Trump] or the talks, but you were the face of the talks.” “First of all, if they want to make me own the effort to try to bring this war to a successful conclusion, I’m happy to let them make me own it,” said Vance. “That sometimes requires one step forward, then two steps back, then three steps forward, and one step back. I can certainly understand the American people are maybe looking at this and they say, ‘Well, it seems like we’re making progress, and then it seems like we’re not.'” The vice president went on to describe what he sees as “the reality” of the situation, explaining that “the Iranians are an extraordinarily difficult people” with a “fractured system.” “There are people within their system who want the war to be over, but there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals who want the war to continue,” Vance noted. “Our job is to navigate through that and get the best outcome for the American people, but for the president of the United States as well.” Acknowledging that “it’s gonna be messy and it’s gonna take some time to get there,” Vance promised, “Oil prices are gonna come down and stay down, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and the United States will be in a stronger position, but we’re kind of in the middle of a game, and I think people are trying to pre-judge exactly how this is gonna go.” Ingraham went on to surmise that “people are trying to drive a wedge between you and Trump.” Vance denied any rumors of a rift between the two.

- Frustrated Trump Reportedly Demanded Hegseth Explain Weapons Shortages Amid Iran...
AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein President Donald Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with the ongoing Iran war and sought answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amid reports of munitions shortages, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday night. The U.S. military is experiencing a shortage of long-range guided missiles and air-defense interceptors, which is reportedly why Trump has refrained from launching additional major strikes on Iran. Crucially, the U.S. is running low on Terminal High Altitude Area Defense systems, which poses a problem for U.S. military personnel stationed in Middle Eastern countries that Iran has been bombing. Citing two people familiar with the situation, the Post reported that Trump interrogated Hegseth as to why he had seemingly been misled as to existing U.S. military capabilities: President Donald Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran, two people familiar told The Washington Post. The encounter took place on the sidelines of his Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday where Trump vented at Hegseth that he thought the munitions issue “had been fixed,” according to both persons familiar with the conversation, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation. During their exchange, Hegseth pointed the blame at Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg for the shortages and for not communicating this to Trump adequately. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied the exchange between Trump and Hegseth occurred at all. “This is 100% fake news,” Leavitt told the Post. “Literally never happened. And President Trump has the utmost confidence in Secretary Hegseth.” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell denied Hegseth dissembled about munition shortages and said the secretary did not blame his lieutenant. “Secretary Hegseth did not mislead anyone about our munitions posture, and he did not blame Deputy Secretary Feinberg,” Parnell said. “These claims about depleted stockpiles, internal disagreements, the Secretary’s position on Iran … are equally fictional.” For months, Trump has repeatedly insisted that Iran wants to make a deal “badly.” In a speech in June, he reiterated this talking point right after Iran bombed a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which it has effectively closed.The post Frustrated Trump Reportedly Demanded Hegseth Explain Weapons Shortages Amid Iran War first appeared on Mediaite.
