During a Wednesday rally in Washington, D.C., to kick off President Donald Trump’s ‘Great American State Fair,’ Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that education and career-focused young people are following the “dumbest advice that they could ever get.” The ‘Great American State Fair’ will run for 16 days on the National Mall in D.C., meant to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary. Wednesday’s rally will also feature an appearance from the president. Speaking to the crowd, Duffy said, “Modern culture has told our young people that they shouldn’t look for love. They shouldn’t have a family, they shouldn’t have kids. Instead, focus on their education, focus on their careers, focus on their bank accounts.” He continued: Have a free Saturday morning and go get a Venti latte with your friends at Starbucks. That will give them joy, is what culture has told them. This is the dumbest advice that they could ever get! What fills the human heart, what gives us purpose, we should look for love. Get married and have lots of kids. Right? It’s a lot of fun. Right? Best decision I made, I met Rachel [Campos-Duffy] on a reality TV show, like, 29 years ago. We’ve been married for 27 years. We’re good Catholics. We’re open to life. We have nine kids. Couldn’t have made a better decision in my life. Well, actually, she said yes to me, so she made a great decision for me in our life, which I’m very grateful for. But, the strength of our country is rooted in the strength of our families. So, to celebrate America 250, we should celebrate our American family. Also in his speech, Duffy celebrated the performances from “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band, the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” and Armed Forces choirs, calling them “way better than those libtards that canceled on us.” Watch the full clip above via C-SPAN.The post Sean Duffy Says Career-Focused Young People Are Following ‘Dumbest Advice That They Could Ever Get’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Appearing alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump was asked by an unnamed reporter about his recent calls for a Department of Justice investigation into these high prices across the U.S., which many experts attribute to the president’s war with Iran. “It’s ExxonMobil, it’s Chevron, it’s, uh, Shell, it’s, uh, BP, it’s a lot of ’em,” the president said from the White House on Wednesday. “The gasoline, or the oil prices, have come down so much, and we are not seeing anything at the pump by comparison to what it should be. We should be, in my opinion, at $2.25 right now at the pump. And we’re higher than that, and we are doing a big investigation on it, yeah. They’re not reducing the prices commensurate with, uh, what’s happening.” On Tuesday evening, Trump posted to Truth Social to slam “the big oil companies.” “The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil,” he wrote. “Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being “gouged.” I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this. Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I’m seeing! President DJT.” According to the American Automobile Association, the national average fell to $3.93 per gallon on Wednesday. Just one month ago, it was $4.51. Right before the start of the Iran war, it was $2.98. Michael Noel, a professor of economics at Texas Tech University, told TIME of Trump’s negotiations timeline, despite the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Iran, “Until the markets are certain that this is really over, then we should not expect to see crude prices go back to where they were, because they’re always going to price in a probability that this is all just talk and we go straight back to war again.” Watch the clip above via Fox News.The post Trump Claims He’s ‘Doing a Big Investigation’ Into Oil Companies Over Gas Prices first appeared on Mediaite.

Left: (Aaron Schwartz/Sipa USA via AP Images), Right: (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) defended “yelling” at President Donald Trump over lunch, telling ABC News’ Rachel Scott on Wednesday, “I’m not gonna be bullied into silence.” Per a report from MS NOW’s Mychael Schnell, Cassidy lost his temper with the president during a Wednesday Senate GOP lunch as Trump attacked Cassidy and three other Republicans for voting in favor of a war powers resolution to limit the war in Iran. Cassidy “confronted President Trump over the Iran memorandum of understanding, a source familiar with the lunch conversation tells me,” reported Schnell, adding, “Cassidy was ‘yelling’ at Trump, the source said.” “The American people just need to know what’s going on with Iran,” Cassidy told Scott on Wednesday. “I don’t think there’s been sufficient information shared with Congress or with the American people, so that was my message.” Just caught up with Bill Cassidy – he told me he will not be bullied into silence. pic.twitter.com/iylFvl99ep — Rachel Scott (@rachelvscott) June 24, 2026 “How was this received by the president?” Scott asked. “Did this turn into a shouting match?” “Well, um, voices were raised, to put it that way,” Cassidy responded. When asked if he had any regrets about the interaction, the senator said, “No. I’m not gonna be bullied when I’m trying to get answers for the American people. This is not about me. It’s not about the president. It’s about the American people knowing what’s going on, and right now, there’s just like, ‘Hm. It seems we’re being told different things by different people.’ You may be right. I just think there needs to be more, kind of, ‘Let’s be open about it,’ and I’m not gonna be bullied into silence when I’m sticking up for the American people.” Directly after Wednesday’s lunch, Cassidy additionally told reporters that Trump “did not particularly care for my comments, raised his voice. I lost my temper…it’s the Irish in me,” adding, “But again, I matched his tone and his volume, and it went back and forth.”The post GOP Senator Defends Himself After He Was Reported ‘Yelling’ at Trump: ‘I’m Not Gonna Be Bullied Into Silence’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The underlying economy is very strong. We’re gonna get on the other side of this Iran conflict, and the inflation will come back to target. We’ll go back to real wage growth. But the other point in my speech was prosperity and security are linked. And for decades, we detached security and prosperity, and we can’t have real, durable prosperity without economic security.” In his speech, Bessent said the Biden administration had ignored how people felt about the economy. Baier pointed to a Fox News poll showing Trump’s economic approval rating at 31%, with a whopping 68% disapproving. “If you look at the polls, it is upside-down when it comes to economic thought,” Baier noted. “Why is that?” “Gasoline’s a big indicator,” Bessent replied. “That’s gonna come down, and people are spending. And I think that we are going to see some very substantial real wage growth. We’ve seen construction jobs, 90,000 construction jobs created. Those will become manufacturing jobs as the factories are built. We’re seeing manufacturing jobs tick up.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Bret Baier Confronts Bessent About Trump’s Dismal Approval Rating: ‘It’s Upside-Down’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Ken Paxton Silent as Reporter Repeatedly Asks Him About Plea Deal With Pedophile
AP Photo/Eric Gay, File During a Wednesday on-the-street interview with MeidasTouch, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was silent as a reporter repeatedly asked him about his plea deal with pedophile Adam Hoffman. Paxton, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Texas, has faced significant scrutiny over his office’s plea deal with Hoffman, a former Waco attorney. In June 2025, Hoffman stood trial on a charge of first-degree felony continuous sexual abuse of a young child, facing a potential sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. During the proceedings, a friend of Hoffman’s son testified that starting in the third grade, the disgraced lawyer sexually abused him multiple times over the course of three years. The jury ultimately deadlocked 7-5. Following the mistrial, Hoffman accepted a plea deal negotiated with Paxton’s office. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail but ended up serving only 29 days behind bars. In the Wednesday MeidasTouch clip, an unnamed reporter approached Paxton as a staffer attempted to intervene. “Excuse me, Mr. Paxton. What do you think about Adam Hoffman?” the journalist asked. “Why’d you get a plea deal for a child sex predator? Do you have anything to say about that?” Q: Why did you give a plea deal to a child sex predator? Do you have anything to say about that? Paxton: (No response.) Q: Should he be registered as a sex offender in Texas? Paxton: (No response.) Q: What do you have to say to the victim of Adam Hoffman? Paxton: (No… pic.twitter.com/td3ZwFXyeD — Acyn (@Acyn) June 24, 2026 Paxton continued walking down the street, offering no comment. “Should he be registered as a pedophile in the state of Texas?” the reporter continued. “A sex offender?” “Step back, step back,” the presumed Paxton staffer said, with Paxton himself still not responding. “What do you have to say to Adam Hoffman— the victim of Adam Hoffman? Mr. Paxton, Mr. Paxton, what do you have to say?” tried MeidasTouch one last time. Paxton said nothing and walked into a building alongside his staff. In May, President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton in his primary campaign against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), causing the senator to warn that the Texas GOP is at risk of “basically continuing to alienate what I would call traditional conservative Republicans like me, and the people who voted for me.”The post Ken Paxton Silent as Reporter… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - I’ve spent 30 years in recruitment – this is how to get a job
