Friday's Morning Joe opened with a clip of Jimmy Kimmel mocking Pete Hegseth that contained this:"By the way, you know who this is? This is Lloyd Austin. He is a four-star general. He was the previous Secretary of Defense. You ever seen him before? No. You know why? He was inside the Pentagon doing his job. He wasn't on TV every day. Pete Hegseth is on TV now more than Ryan Seacrest."
Could…
On CNN This Morning, commenting on new allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a second Signal chat in which military plans were discussed that included his wife, host Audie Cornish says: "At some point does itbmove from it's a joke to he's a joke? And I'm not saying that's what's happening. But like it starts out Operation Overshare, you know? And then the next thing you know, it's…
On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Symone Sanders, commenting on the Abrego Garcia case, says: "Kilmar Abrego Garcia's specific case, the case of the gentleman who's a makeup artist out of California who was also sent to that prison. That is why the more, the 75% of the folks who have been sent, the men who have been sent there that don't have criminal records, that is why this…
Ending his stumbling defense of Abrego Garcia, Joe Scarborough emphatically claims that he was NOT a gang member. But as the BBC has reported, Abrego Garcia's own lawyers admit that the court order withholding him from deportation was granted "based on his 'well-founded' fear of persecution by Barrio-18, the main rival gang of MS-13." Ask yourself—better yet, ask Joe Scarborough—why would Abrego…
On Deadline White House, snooty host Nicolle Wallace suggests that Walmart is the place you shop if you forgot an item. Blaming President Trump, Wallace also claims that the economy is in "mortal danger." Her evidence: the stock market was down 700 points today.
On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish casts the showdown between the Trump administration and Harvard and other universities over federal funding as being about free expression. It's not. Universities can teach whatever they want. But they can't have it both ways. If Harvard wants to have complete freedom of operation, it should make like Hillsdale College and reject any federal or state…
On Friday's episode of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish surprisingly praises Marco Rubio's take on revoking student visas. But she once again assembles an unbalanced panel, bereft of any Trump-supporting Republican.
File this one under "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.' The liberal media has been leading the charge against the Trump tariffs. So what happens when Trump heeds the warnings, and pulls back? Does the MSM applaud his statemanship, his courage in changing course given changing circumstances? C'mon: of course not. This is the liberal media, remember? Thus, on today's Morning Joe, Axios co-founder Jim…
On Wednesday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish calls two of her guests her "Republican chat group." The Republicans in question are Charlie Dent, a Never Trumper who says he is "cynical" about Trump's tariffs, calling them a "bad rule," and Kristen Soltis Anderson, who has written a New York Times op-ed warning Republicans about the path they're going down. Anderson suggests there's no "…
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says he has 10 minutes of clips from recent months proving I told you so; that he warned Republicans to be careful with the economy. Scarborough also attacks Bill Ackman, the Wall Street billionaire and long-time Democrat donor, who came to support Trump, but now says Trump should implement a 90-day freeze on the tariffs. Scarborough claims Ackman shifted to Trump…
