- Piers Morgan Sends Russell Brand Into Cringeworthy Bible Search in Epicly Weird ...
Journalist Piers Morgan sent embattled comic actor Russell Brand into a comically awkward search for a Bible passage that quickly became a viral sensation on social media. Brand — recently seen suggesting that President Donald Trump is the Antichrist — took his newfound scriptural enthusiasm to Friday’s episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, where Morgan quizzed him about the Bible he ostentatiously toted into his sexual assault and rape hearing. When Morgan asked him about a specific passage, Brand spent a solid minute-and-a-half trying to find it: PIERS MORGAN: Can I go back to asking a question about your Bible? RUSSELL BRAND: Yes, if you want. PIERS MORGAN: Was that the one you took into court? RUSSELL BRAND: Yeah, the very one. PIERS MORGAN: OK. What was your thinking of taking it into core, and what you were seeing, looking at some passages, what were the relevant passages for you? RUSSELL BRAND: Thank you for asking. PIERS MORGAN: That didn’t hurt, did it? RUSSELL BRAND: A little bit. (FLIPS PAGES). It was this from Isaiah. You’re right, (MUTTERS) did say, you know, be chill-. Sometimes I lose the chill, man. Is this. (FLIPS PAGES). They don’t like that, do they, in the old gallery? But remember you just said it’s a hired spot. This is from Eye-ZYE-AH. (FLIPS PAGES). WHISPERS TO SELF. (FLIPS PAGES). (FLIPS PAGES). It says here–. (FLIPS PAGES). The verse that I was looking at that day was… (FLIPS PAGE). Not this, I can’t actually find the verse that I had that day. But this is good enough. This is from Isaiah 12. I will praise you Lord, although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself is my strength and my defense. What I was looking at before is that there’s a bit where he says, see I’m doing a new thing, Isaiah says, like springs in the desert, like in the dessert of your life, when your life becomes barren and difficult, that a new resource with God will appear.

(George Walker IV/AP photo) The political and media elite are getting ready for a highly-anticipated White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, and Fox News host Jimmy Failla will be there to capture a wild scene that he likens to a “keg party.” “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is the Super Bowl of the D.C. Party Circuit, and with that in mind, I’m trying to give viewers as much access to the debauchery as I can,” Failla told Mediaite in a brief interview Friday. Failla will be hosting a special edition of Fox News Saturday Night live from the Washington Hilton starting at 9 p.m. ET. And while the dinner has been something of a ho-hum affair in recent years, all eyes are on the event this time around — as President Donald Trump is attending for the first time since 2015. And when the president takes the stage, Jimmy Failla is expecting a full-on roast. “They’ll introduce him as Don Trump, but I’m expecting Don Rickles,” Failla said. We caught up briefly with Failla to find out the particulars behind what is sure to be a fascinating event. Mediaite: This seems like a very unique broadcast — happening live onsite during the dinner. Take us through how this is all going to work. Jimmy Failla: The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is the Super Bowl of the D.C. Party Circuit, and with that in mind, I’m trying to give viewers as much access to the debauchery as I can. We’ll have tons of live interviews and a LIVE TEXT feature so people watching at home can communicate with us in real time and be featured on the show. We’ll obviously pre-screen the content so don’t go sending us a picture of your breasts. Talking to you, Brian Noem. Are you expecting people to step out during the dinner to chat with you? Totally! We’ve booked two live guests for every segment, so expect a healthy mix of Fox personalities and a few from Rival Networks. The last time I hosted this show, we had Lester Holt, Al Roker, and even Jordan Klepper and Desi Lydic from The Daily Show. Again, I’m trying to give viewers ONE NIGHT where it’s not about the Republican Party or the Democrat Party, it’s just a KEG PARTY. Anyone who’s seen you over the years knows you’re not afraid to make some bold fashion statements.

screenshot – inset:Sander Lutz/X Trump memecoin business associate Bill Zanker fled when he was recognized by a reporter during President Donald Trump’s Air Force One arrival on Friday evening. Last spring, Trump held a gala dinner for the top 220 purchasers of his “$TRUMP” meme coin, a scheme that critics from across the political spectrum have nuked as a corrupt enrichment scam. It’s that time of year again, so Trump jetted out of DC Friday night for Palm Beach, where he will deliver remarks at a “Crypto Conference” on Saturday before attending the WHCD. But this time, he’s doing so while under fire from his own crypto investors. New media travel pooler and Decrypt Media White House correspondent Sander Lutz spotted Zanker as the pool awaited Trump’s debarkation from Air Force One, writing on X/Twitter that Zanker appeared to have taken the AF1 ride with them. But when he approached, Zanker quickly dipped: As we waited on the tarmac at PBI for President Trump to disembark AF1, I spotted Bill Zanker, the man at the center of Trump’s meme coin operation. Zanker appears to have taken the trip down to Mar-a-Lago with us from DC, as he was snacking on commemorative AF1 m&ms while we waited. When I approached him and introduced myself, he very quickly walked away from me. He has kept a very low media profile while running numerous ventures for the president, his longtime friend. The Trump meme coin conference is set for tomorrow, with the president making lunchtime remarks to the top 29 holders of his token. The token is down 96% from the price it hit after launching last January. ..

The author of this commentary is WorldDAB representative in France. According to the latest report from French media regulator ARCOM, while 99% of the population has access to a device enabling them to listen to audio, radio remains the leading audio media in France, reaching 73% of the population. Radio is described as a service with a very strong attachment (especially for those 35+), with 68% of people saying they would miss it if it were gone. Crucially, live listening remains dominant, with the majority of audiences still tuning in via broadcast networks such as FM and DAB+. This is a significant point. At a time when digital platforms and streaming services continue to grow — particularly among younger audiences — the data confirms that broadcast live radio remains the backbone of audio consumption. It continues to deliver scale, reliability and simplicity in a way that no single platform can replicate. Among dedicated radio supports (car radios, Hi-Fi systems, portable radios, etc.), 24.5% are also now DAB+ compatible. The report also highlights the importance of the car as a listening environment, with the car radio being the most widely used dedicated device for audio consumption (at 59%). This reinforces the importance of ensuring that broadcast radio, including DAB+, remains easily accessible and prominent in connected vehicles. At the same time, the broader shift towards digital usage is evident. Smartphones are now the most used device for audio, and around half of French listeners consume content via online platforms. Yet this growth is complementary rather than substitutive: Broadcast and digital coexist, forming an increasingly hybrid listening environment. There is no visible negative impact on the consumption of radio stations in their linear (live FM/DAB+) format or on their own digital platforms when listeners also view filmed radio clips on YouTube. For DAB+, this presents a clear opportunity. As France continues its digital radio rollout, DAB+ combines the strengths of broadcast — free-to-air access, robustness and universality — with the expectations of modern audiences, including improved sound quality, increased choice and enhanced data services. The Arcom findings also serve as a reminder of radio’s unique public value. In an environment where concerns around misinformation, algorithmic bias and fragmented discovery are growing, broadcast radio continues to offer trusted, curated content that is universally available. While the ways in which audiences access audio are evolving, the fundamentals remain unchanged. Radio is a primary source… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Bill Maher Flat-Out Blasts Trump on War He Supported: ‘He Keeps Saying We Won ... Comedian and pundit Bill Maher flat-out told his audience that President Donald Trump was “wrong” about Iran, that “He keeps sayig we won, and we didn’t.” On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Democratic Governor of Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. The panel guests were Chris Cuomo, host of CUOMO on NewsNation and SiriusXM’s “The Chris Cuomo Project”; and Sarah Isgur, editor of The Dispatch’s SCOTUSblog and author of the new book “Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today’s Supreme Court.” Maher — who supported going to war — took aim at Trump over the war in his monologue, listing off the ways in which Trump was “wrong”: BILL MAHER: I know why you’re happy today. Because Trump said today we will not be using nuclear weapons in Iran. I didn’t know that was on the table. But OK, that was great. It’s gotten a little Groundhog Day, isn’t it? It’s always kind of the same story every week. We’re seizing their boats. They’re seizing our boats. It’s less like a war and more like a Florida divorce. It’s, uh, no, it’s… It’s kind of become a war of, you block me, no, I block you. Strait of Hormuz, you think you can f*ck it up? Well, we could f*ck it–. That’s our plan now, is to win slowly by destroying their economy, hopefully their economy. All right. Yeah, it was Earth Day this week, but we found out we still use a lot of oil. Nobody can afford gas. This week, Tiger Woods crashed his bicycle. Wow. That is a… Eric Swalwell has been turning off the engine of the car when he gets blown now he just– Really? Still some residual affection for Eric Swalwell? Wow. Okay, but it’s not just gas, you know, it turns out everything is made of petroleum products. Did you see this week, condoms? Who knew condoms, condom? Yes, they’re getting trapped in the Strait of Hormuz. So condoms are now very scarce and very expensive. More bad news for Mike Vrabel. No, the condom situation is so serious that we are changing the name from Operation Epic Fury to the Trojan War. And yes. And yet, lately, Trump, on the war, has been so chill. Have you noticed that? I know it’s not like him to veer erratically. But a couple of weeks ago, it was, if you… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Indicted Democrat Who Just Quit Congress Is Running for Re-election
Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images Former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) just resigned a few days ago just ahead of an expulsion vote, but she’s still running for re-election, her campaign confirmed Friday. Last month, the House Ethics Committee found that Cherfilus-McCormick was guilty of 25 out of 27 counts of embezzling funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that were intended for Covid-19 vaccination programs. She had been accused of improperly funneling $5 million through a health care company she and her brother, Edwin Cherfilus, ran, using the money for her personal use and for her congressional campaign. The siblings were indicted by the Department of Justice in November for their scheme. Cherfilus-McCormick was charged with fifteen charges including theft, money laundering, illegal campaign contributions, and filing a false tax return. She faces up to 53 years in prison, according to a DOJ press release. Cherfilus-McCormick has denied wrongdoing, pleading not guilty to the federal charges against her and maintaining that the House Ethics Committee’s hearing was “not a fair process” and a “witch hunt.” Nonetheless, she announced Tuesday that she was resigningfrom Congress. Had she not resigned, multiple members had called for an expulsion vote that was expected to succeed. Less than half an hour after Cherfilus-McCormick posted her resignation on social media, the Florida Democratic Party issued a statement from Chair Nikki Fried, noting that the congresswoman had just “resigned from the House of Representatives after being indicted on fraud charges involving the misuse of COVID-19 funds” and declaring that “corruption has no place in Congress.” So, to recap: Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress, probably would have been expelled if she hadn’t, is still facing multiple federal charges, and her own party denounced her “corruption.” Not a great campaign platform. And yet, she still plans on running for re-election, NOTUS political reporter Kadia Goba reported, filing her campaign paperwork just four days before she resigned. NEW: Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is still running for reelection, her campaign confirmed. The embattled lawmaker filed for reelection four days before resigning.https://t.co/cfO5wyKlTe — Kadia Goba (@kadiagoba) April 24, 2026 A campaign aide for the embattled ex-congresswoman “confirmed to NOTUS she is running — as a Democrat,” wrote Goba, describing her as “plan[ning] to defiantly run for reelection.” The Florida Division of Elections website shows Cherfilus-McCormick’s paperwork was filed on April 17, as Goba reported.
