Fox Business host Larry Kudlow accused New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) of hitting her constituents repeatedly with the “stupid stick,” and he said the latest example is her just-announced AI data center ban. Kudlow vented about NY’s leadership on Wednesday afternoon. “New York has gotten hit several times by the stupid stick, and it’s not going to learn,” Kudlow said. “I’m not bullish on here. I live here — my primary residence is Studio J — but here, Gov. Hochul with her stupid stick is now saying no data centers for a year.” He was referring to the executive order Hochul signed on Tuesday, banning new data centers for up to one year. Hochul defended her order in a TV interview with Fox 5 in NYC on Wednesday, saying”I’m talking about the hyper-scaler, massive[data centers], the ones that consume and guzzle so much energy.” She also said she “protecting” New Yorkers from noisy data centers keeping them up all night. Kudlow wasn’t buying her spin, though. “Why not just donate the money to China? Just give it to them,” Kudlow vented. He said he heard President Donald Trump had put out a Truth Social post bashing Hochul over the move and that it was a “beauty.” Kudlow was referring to Trump’s early morning post where he insisted Hochul “IMMEDIATELY” reverse the policy. “One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers,” Trump said.“They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built. Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State.” Kudlow added Hochul’s ban just added to the bad ideas peddled by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom he called an “anti-Semitic dumbo.” The veteran host said Mamdani was a stooge for pushing rent control, since it drives up rent prices for everyone who isn’t lucky enough to snag a rent-controlled apartment.

The author is CEO of the RDS Forum, based in Geneva, Switzerland. I read the sad news about the passing away of Jerry LeBow. Jerry was also instrumental in helping RDS to be adapted to RBDS. In this arrangement I was directly involved for the European Broadcasting Union, together with Terry Beale from Delco, who was the EIA expert on RDS in the early ’90s. Jerry made us meet in New Orleans, where we agreed to create an RDS variant called RBDS for North America. Jerry LeBow, at left, in 1991 in New Orleans with Terry Beale and Dietmar Kopitz.credit: Courtesy Dietmar Kopitz Shortly after this we promoted RBDS at the CES 1993 in Chicago. John Casey, today with Radio World but at that time with Denon, led a promotional campaign for RBDS, sponsored by EIA, to make U.S. broadcasters aware of this innovation for FM radio.

(Lenin Nolly/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles are reportedly leading an investigation in “some officials” at the White House have been asked to turn over their phones. The pair are attempting to determine who was responsible for leaking information about the alleged security problems with a Qatari-donated plane that President Donald Trump hopes to use as Air Force One, CNN reported. The leak led to reporting by The New York Times that left Trump “fuming.” Patel, who was meant to be traveling to Chicago, was sent back to D.C. Friday to begin the investigation into its source. The Times later revealed at least four of its reporters were subpoenaed by the U.S. Justice Department. “In this case, the subpoenas were not a last resort, which is typically what they’re supposed to do when there is an alleged leak hunt. This time it came within 48 hours of the first story being published… This was something that was quite known in Washington. It was not a surprise,” Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman said during a Monday appearance on Morning Joe. “This is not just issuing subpoenas; it’s sending federal agents to people’s homes.” CNN also noted that investigators have requested “information from those who were traveling with Trump or had a role in the trip.” Not everyone who has been asked to turn over their phone has complied with the request. The investigation is a”significant breach” of the independence the Justice Department has long maintained with the President. The Times has made the paper’s intent to fight the subpoenas in court clear. Worries about the plane, which is valued at approximately $400 million, surfaced last week after Trump unexpectedly announced a different plane would be sent to Mildenhall Air Force Base in England before he left the NATO summit. At the time, he said the swap was meant to give servicemembers stationed at the base the opportunity to tour the plane. Sources told CNN the new plane was “quickly retrofitted with defence capabilities but was still not as secure as the older version.” The entire scope of the potential security differences and problems has not… [TheTopNews] Read More.18 hours ago - Paramount Shareholders Accuse Ellisons of ‘Illegal’ Trump Deal in 4th Lawsui...
(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) David and Larry Ellison were named in a fourth lawsuit filed Tuesday by Paramount shareholders in an attempt to stop an impending merger between the company and Warner Bros. Discovery. The father-son pair was accused of striking a deal with President Donald Trump based on what the lawsuit called an “illegal bribery scheme.” In a lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court and reviewed by Mediaite, the shareholders claimed the Ellisons also promised widespread changes to CNN to get the merger approved by the president. The deal allegedly also includes a guarantee of up to $20 million in free advertising and an additional $16 million paid to Trump. The suit claims that the merger going through “would allow Paramount fiduciaries to profit from an illegal bribery scheme in breach of their fiduciary duties of loyalty to Paramount and otherwise in violation of bedrock Delaware corporate law.” “The media has widely reported that Lawrence and David Ellison promised illegal, private benefits to President Trump in exchange for approval of their last media mega-merger. Specifically, in order to ensure federal regulatory approval of the merger between Ellison-controlled Skydance Media, LLC (“Skydance”) and Paramount, the Ellisons promised President Trump up to $20 million in free advertising and reportedly encouraged Paramount’s prior ownership to settle a frivolous lawsuit the President had filed against CBS (owned by Paramount) in his personal capacity—effectively laundering a $16 million payment to President Trump through the courts,” added the filing. The $16 million payment stems from a settlement previously agreed to by the former ownership as part of a lawsuit Trump filed against CBS over a Kamala Harris interview. The $20 million figure appears to stem from Trump’s claim that he struck a “side deal” with David Ellison soon after the CBS lawsuit was settled and claimed Paramount said the company would “provide an additional $15 to $20 million worth of advertising to promote causes important to the president.” Variety reported at the time, July of 2025, “Trump now claims the settlement over his ’60 Minutes’ lawsuit is worth ‘over $36 million’ in total. Earlier this month, he told reporters that the settlement was worth ‘like $32 [million] to maybe $35 million.’” “Executives at Paramount were under the belief that settling President Trump’s lawsuit was a prerequisite for the FCC to clear the merger with Skydance and began negotiating a high-stakes settlement with President Trump in… [TheTopNews] Read More.19 hours ago - GOP Senators’ Wild Suggestions That Jack Smith Lied Under Oath Get Picked Apar...
(J. Scott Applewhite/AP Photo) Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announcement that he had received records from the Department of Justice “confirming” Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigative team had “reviewed the contents” of text messages sent by 44 members of Congress was quickly seized upon by Republicans, but multiple legal reporters were just as quick to point out Grassley’s post was nothing more than a “bogus political gambit.” The 92-year-old senior senator from Iowa sparked the entire kerfuffle with a tweet he posted Tuesday afternoon. I received records frm DOJ confirming Jack Smith's investigative team reviewed the contents of text msgs sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Im 1 of the 44 Im alerting my colleagues who were impacted and will release the records w Sen Johnson so American ppl can see the evidence — Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) July 14, 2026 “I received records frm DOJ confirming Jack Smith’s investigative team reviewed the contents of text msgs sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Im 1 of the 44,” wrote Grassley. “Im alerting my colleagues who were impacted and will release the records w Sen Johnson so American ppl can see the evidence.” Grassley’s GOP colleagues reacted with predictable fury and outrage, accusing Smith of a “blatant abuse of power” and “corruption.” The same deep state that spied on President Trump, Members of Congress, and law abiding Americans across the country still pushes for more surveillance power and less oversight. We must never give it to them. https://t.co/1yYRpGTug9 — Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) July 14, 2026 December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn't spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress.

Mark Schiefelbein/AP Photo Pentagon officials have been exploring their options for potential military action in Cuba, according to a big new report from CBS. The Wednesday report comes as the war with Iran has reignited, with five straight days of airstrikes. The conflict in the Middle East commits valuable American military assets far from home, complicating any action in Cuba. Sources told CBS News the military has been looking at “a range of options” for Cuba, including an Army-led air assault involving thousands of U.S. soldiers: Military planners have in recent weeks examined a range of options for possible action against the island, including an Army-led air assault involving thousands of U.S. soldiers to be carried out by the 101st Airborne Division, the only unit trained for such a task, according to multiple U.S. officials with knowledge of the discussions. The officials, who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity to discuss national security matters, stressed that the briefings are not an indication that President Trump or the Pentagon have decided to carry out an operation. CBS also described friction between President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran. Trump has “privately” voiced frustration with the war’s progress, according to the outlet, which cited two U.S. officials who said Hegseth had pushed for “a more confrontational approach.” Hegseth’s view was tempered by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, CBS reported. A Pentagon press secretary declined comment to CBS on what they called “hypothetical military operations,” while also refusing comment on the alleged tension between Trump and Hegseth. The CBS report comes on the heels of an exclusive May report from Axios which revealed military officials had held a “tabletop” exercise for potential action in Cuba led by the U.S. Southern Command. That report also cited sources who stressed: “no invasion is planned or imminent.”The post Trump Admin Looking At Military Incursion Into Cuba: Report first appeared on Mediaite.
