- Glenn Beck Makes the Case For Why Trump’s FCC Should Leave The View Alone
Screenshot via social media Glenn Beck, the longtime conservative radio host turned MAGA-era podcaster, offered his frank analysis on the FCC’s battle with ABC over the network’s popular daily talk show The View. Beck said he “despises” the program but laid out the case for both why and how Trump-appointed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr will likely lose this fight. Beck began the segment by reading from a news article, saying, “Disney’s ABC is firing back at the FCC, accusing the agency of engaging in actions that, quote, threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech.” Beck went on to explain that the FCC is probing whether or not The View should be forced to operate under the equal time political rule and whether or not ABC’s broadcast licenses should be impacted if the program doesn’t adhere to that standard. After dispensing with the background, Beck offered his take, beginning by noting, “I have done FCC-regulated radio for 49 years. I know the FCC rules and regs better than probably anyone else on the air. I’m not a lawyer, and I’m sure I’m not right on everything, but I know it by gut because I was 13 when I had to take my first FCC call—calling it the third phone license—on what you can and cannot do.” “Let me go over that first paragraph again: ‘Disney’s ABC firing back at the FCC, accusing the agency of engaging in actions that threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech.’ Okay, decades of law. Yes. Everything changed in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan. It is the reason why the Rush Limbaugh show could come on.” He continued: Nobody wanted to do political talk back in the day because you had to balance absolutely everything, and it was just too much of a headache, okay? The other way to balance it is if you combined MSNBC and Fox, and every other hour it was a leftist and then somebody on the right, and then a leftist and then the right. Nobody would listen to that. And so radio just did not engage, generally speaking. Local radio just didn’t engage in any of that stuff, okay? The issue involves an FCC investigation. Now, listen to this: it involves an FCC investigation into whether talk show The View qualifies for an exemption to the agency’s… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Microsoft’s C.E.O.

Former FBI Director James Comey spoke out on MS NOW Monday after being indicted by the Trump administration for the second time last month. Comey’s criminal trial is set to get underway in July on charges he allegedly threatened President Donald Trump’s life by posting an Instagram photo of seashells on a beach reading “86 47”. Trump claimed “86” meant “to kill,” while most restaurant workers know it to mean a menu item is out of stock or a customer is banned from the premises. The president posted to Truth Social last month, “’86’ is a mob term for ‘kill him.’ They say 86 him! 86 47 means ‘kill President Trump.’ James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well! EIGHT MILES OUT, SIX FEET DOWN! Didn’t he also lie to the FBI about this??? I think so!” MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace asked Comey if he thought Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche shared in Trump’s vendetta. “I don’t think so,” Comey answered. “I think it’s just Donald Trump continuing to move through people until he finds those who will literally do whatever he says. Maybe he’s found that with Mr. Blanche, maybe not.” Comey continued: Maybe his standards will be too high, as apparently Pam Bondi’s were, which is a bit of a shock. And so she’s apparently headed for some important private sector job we haven’t heard about yet. That may be Mr. Blanche’s future. Or maybe not, I don’t know, but Donald Trump has a bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who’ve criticized him. And I’m not going to stop criticizing him, because I think that’s required if you care about America. And so it will just keep going. If he gets rid of Blanche, he’ll try to find someone else. Look at the bottom of every barrel, there are still apples. And so he will find someone to do what he wants to do. “Do you think that’s where we are with Todd Blanche, at the bottom of the barrel?” Wallace asked. “Only time will tell. I mean, Pam Bondi, I thought, was not a good fit for the role, and her standards were apparently too high. So we’ll see,” Comey said.

(Photos via: Julio Cortez and Michael Yanow) Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) sued Netflix on Monday for allegedly “spying on Texans, including children, and collecting users’ data without their knowledge or consent.” Paxton alleged the streaming giant violated the state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act by lying about collecting subscriber data. His lawsuit pointed to comments made by Netflix co-founder and former CEO Reed Hastings, a fierce Trump critic, in 2020 where he said the company is not “integrating everybody’s data”; the lawsuit said Hastings double down soon after and vowed “we don’t collect anything” — something Paxton said he did to save the company from scrutiny other tech companies like Meta and Apple faced. That was all bogus, Paxton claimed. His press release on Monday said Netflix has used “intentional engineering to track and log users’ viewing habits, preferences, devices, household networks, application usage, and other sensitive behavioral data. Every interaction on the platform became a data point revealing information about the user. This tracking applied to not only adults’ accounts, but also kids’ profiles.” Netflix then sold that information to data brokers and advertisers, Paxton claimed. The company first offered a cheaper subscription that included ads in late 2022. “In short, Netflix sold subscriptions to its programming as an escape from Big Tech surveillance: pay monthly, avoid tracking. Texans trusted that bargain. Netflix broke it— constructing the very data-collection system subscribers paid to escape.” His lawsuit claimed Texans contribute $1.5 billion in annual revenue to Netflix, which is valued at $360 billion. Paxton said the state is entitled to up to $10,000 for each violation of its DTPA law. Paxton previously criticized Netflix in 2020 over the film Cuties. The AG said it was “fodder for those with criminal imaginations, serving to normalize the view that children are sexual beings.” He added that it “whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways,” and called for the platform to remove the movie.

President Donald Trump speaks alongside the FIFA World Cup Winners Trophy in the Oval Office of the White House, Friday, Aug. 22, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) A social media account from President Donald Trump’s White House lashed out at a Reuters reporter on Monday for posting a photo of the president with his eyes closed. Earlier that day, Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office to discuss maternal health. After the event, Reuters national security correspondent Idrees Ali posted a photo. In it, Trump could be seen sitting in the Oval Office with his eyes closed. “U.S. President Donald Trump attends a maternal health event in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 11, 2026,” the caption read.

Minutes later, the account Headquarters — which started as a Kamala Harris campaign account before it was relaunched after the election — posted a video showing Trump with his eyes closed for an extended period of time. It appeared to be from a different point of the conference, as Trump’s head position differed slightly from the Reuters photo. “That’s an awfully long blink!” Headquarters tweeted. That's an awfully long blink! https://t.co/Mv0rRAn7CI pic.twitter.com/3aiZ6DLnYm — Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) May 11, 2026 The president has been accused of sleeping on numerous occasions when he appeared motionless with his eyes closed for several seconds at a time. One of those moments occurred during a cabinet meeting in December, but Trump insisted that he was simply blinking. The president even threw his own cabinet under the bus when he claimed the meeting was boring.The post ‘Absolute Moron’: Trump WH Account Rages at Reuters Reporter Sharing Image of President With Eyes Closed first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Fars News Agency/Ebrahim Noroozi) The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the United Arab Emirates “has carried out military strikes on Iran,” citing “people familiar with the matter.” The explosive report is the first time since the war began that the UAE has been implicated as an active combatant in the war, joining the U.S., Iran, and Israel as a primary actor. The UAE has been targeted by Iran with missile and drone strikes throughout the war, with several major impacts in Dubai and on oil infrastructure in the country. The UAE, nicknamed “Little Sparta” by former Defense Secretary James Mattis, is a regional military powerhouse with an advanced air force and intelligence service. “The strikes, which the U.A.E. hasn’t publicly acknowledged, have included an attack on a refinery on Iran’s Lavan Island in the Persian Gulf, the people familiar with the matter said. That attack took place in early April around the time President Trump was announcing a cease-fire in the war after a five-week air campaign and sparked a large fire and knocked much of its capacity off line for months,” added the WSJ. The report added that the Trump administration “wasn’t upset by the attack, as the cease-fire hadn’t yet settled into place, and it has quietly welcomed the participation” of the UAE and any other regional countries, according to a source. Trump noted in the Oval Office on Monday that he believed that Iran attacking its regional neighbors was a major strategic mistake. “You saw that when they started shooting rockets. Nobody thought Saudi Arabia and Qatar and UAE were going to get hit, or Kuwait and Bahrain. And it was a tremendous strategic mistake, and they wasted those missiles. We have the Patriots that knocked them down every time,” Trump told reporters during a Q&A. This is a developing story and has been updated.The post Explosive Report Reveals the UAE Has Been Secretly Attacking Iran During the War first appeared on Mediaite.
