CNN host Kasie Hunt focused in on the danger of President Donald Trump’s continued rhetoric about “rigged” elections, in the wake of his new claims about the Los Angeles mayor’s race, where Republican Spencer Pratt is bringing up the rear. On Sunday’s Meet The Press, Trump brought up the 2020 presidential elections, telling Kristen Welker, “The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it’s happening again right now in California.” When Welker asked for “evidence” to support his claim, Trump answered, “All I have to do is look.” Former Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) told Hunt that this is just “where we are with our politics,” and that Trump “is just the largest mouthpiece” for the skepticism right now. “I do think we need to focus in on — President Trump has, since he has been on the public stage as a presidential candidate in a serious way, continued to say over and over and over again that our elections are rigged,” Hunt said. “And it is worth remembering that the people that support him will believe what he says. He influences their opinions. We have gone all the way back to 2016, the last 10 years. This is what the president has sounded like over that time.” Hunt then played the supercut featuring nine separate times Trump made claims of “rigged” elections. Hunt continued, “And again, just to circle back, one of those clips we saw was on January 6th of 2021, where a mob of people then left that speech, stormed the United States Capitol — took action based on what the president was saying when he claimed that the election was rigged.” Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) addressed McHenry’s point that some Democrats seem to have jumped on the “rigged” election bandwagon. “But I think it’s irresponsible for leaders of any stripe at any level to say that without evidence,” Olszewski said. “I’m someone who won an election by 17 votes, who then oversaw elections at the local level. We have people who are working very hard to make sure these elections are safe and secure. It took weeks for my manual recount to get redone. The most important thing is that it got done right. Do I want to see California count their ballots faster? Absolutely. Will it instill more trust? Absolutely. But that does not mean that these elections are rigged. And I… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - OpenAI Files Confidentially for IPO as AI Companies Rush to Wall St.

- ‘Stinks to High Heaven!’ Speaker Johnson Claims ‘Rigged’ Election Accusa...
Screenshot via CNN CNN’s chief congressional correspondent, Manu Raju, spoke to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Monday and asked him about President Donald Trump’s ongoing claims that the Los Angeles mayoral race is “rigged” against Republicans. “Speaking of fraud, the president keeps saying that there’s election fraud in the California mayor’s race. What evidence is there to prove that?” Raju asked Johnson while walking through the U.S. Capitol. Johnson replied, “You tell me, Manu. They are counting votes weeks after the election. We have entire nations with huge populations, like India, that can count their votes in 24 to 48 hours.” Raju cut in, “You’re saying it’s rigged, like the president?” “I’m not saying it’s rigged. I’m saying it stinks to high heaven, and everybody knows that. Let’s — let’s — let’s remove the appearance of impropriety. Let’s have — what, what a concept — let’s have votes on an election the day of the election. That’s what many states are able to do. I think California is playing around with us,” Johnson insisted. “But what evidence is there to prove that the election was rigged?” Raju pressed. Johnson replied, “Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream, it is impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here, and that’s a concern. We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system. It is critical to maintain a constitutional republic. We’re going to keep working to pass the Save America Act because it requires, as you know, proof of citizenship and a photo ID to vote. Those are also 90-percent-plus issues in public opinion, and 70 percent of Democrats understand that’s necessary.” Raju shot back, “Aren’t you all just saying that because you lost the election — because the Republicans did not win? Is that why we’re hearing this?” “I’m saying that every leader of all parties should demand election integrity, and if somebody is opposing that, you should look at their motives,” Johnson added, ending the conversation. President Donald Trump and many of his allies have accused Democrats of rigging the vote in LA as Spencer Pratt moved into third place this week as votes continue to be counted. Notably, final polls going into election day showed Pratt landing in third and being shut out of the November runoff. Speaker Johnson, like Trump, sowing doubts on… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - AI Companies Blindsided By Trump Planning For Government to Acquire Equity in Th...
(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) The leaders of major Artificial Intelligence companies were blindsided by President Donald Trump’s plan to discuss acquiring equity in their companies, according to new reporting from NOTUS. Three anonymous sources told the outlet that the A.I. leaders learned from reporters — not the White House — of Trump’s plan to “meet with ‘all the big’ firms about taking ‘pieces’ of their companies, ‘possibly as soon as next week,’” the report said. Aboard Air Force One Friday, Trump told reporters, “I actually have a meeting scheduled in the very short, in the very near future, with — did you know that? — all of the companies. And we’re talking about it, where the American people can benefit from the success of AI.” Trump continued, “There’s something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership with the American public. It would be a beautiful thing.” NOTUS reported, “As of Monday afternoon, the White House had provided no details about when or where the executives of the leading AI companies would be meeting with the president.” The report continued: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pitched the idea of turning over shares in his company to Trump in early 2025 and discussed the matter again with senior officials in recent weeks, NOTUS first reported. But as of last week, Anthropic had not yet discussed the idea, according to a fourth person familiar with the matter, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to reflect private talks. But although Trump claimed he spoke to all top A.I. leaders about his proposal, “Anthropic had not yet discussed the idea, according to a fourth person familiar with the matter,” the report said. NOTUS said if Trump follows through on having the federal government take an equity stake in major AI companies, the move “would be among the most consequential federal interventions in the private sector in modern history.” Spokespeople for OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Google declined to comment on the NOTUS report. In a statement, the White House said only that it’s working “to proactively engage across government and industry.”The post AI Companies Blindsided By Trump Planning For Government to Acquire Equity in Their Firms: Report first appeared on Mediaite.
