Jobless news veteran Scott Pelley broke down in tears as he claimed the hysterical tirade that got him fired from “60 Minutes” was a response to the “murders” of his “family” in a “Black Thursday massacre” at the show.
President Donald Trump stormed out of an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker after ripping the interview for being “crooked” and ranting about “rigged” elections. The president’s interview aired Sunday on Meet the Press but was filmed on Friday while Trump was in Wisconsin for an agricultural roundtable. The interview was filmed inside a metal barn, […]
Spencer Pratt, the reality television personality running as a Republican candidate for Los Angeles mayor, posted a meme over the weekend suggesting that he couldn't understand how votes get counted in the city — and the internet was happy to explain it to him.Pratt posted a photo of a man staring at a chalkboard covered in complex equations, captioning it: "Me trying to figure out how votes get counted in LA."The replies were not sympathetic.Rep. Ted Lieu, the California Democrat, went straight to the math. "Dear Republican Spencer Pratt: Before you spew conspiracy theories, here are some numbers for you in LA," he wrote, listing the approximate number of registered Democrats in the city — 1,224,737 — against the approximate number of registered Republicans — 326,292. "This is why you won't make the top two. #math #occamsrazor."Journalist Mehdi Hasan, former host at MSNBC and founder of Zeteo, kept it shorter: "Which is why you have no business running for mayor of LA in the first place."Political commentator Tahra Hoops connected the complaint directly to the job Pratt is seeking. "If this is hard for you to understand maybe you should not be in charge of a 15 billion dollar city budget."Writer Cody Johnston dispensed with diplomacy entirely: "Some dumba-- doesn't understand s---, wow!!!"Pratt's post is consistent with a broader pattern of election skepticism circulating in MAGA circles around the LA race. As Raw Story reported Saturday, Rasmussen Reports recently promoted a claim that a ballot drop had produced zero votes for Pratt — a claim that was debunked using actual batch composition data showing Pratt received votes in every single drop.
In a pre-recorded interview between President Donald Trump and NBC News’ Kristen Welker that aired on Sunday, a severe downpour of rain disrupted discussions multiple times in what one independent journalist characterized as a form of divine intervention. Trump was mid-sentence discussing "tractors" and "digging mechanisms" when an audible downpour outside the building drew his attention away from the interview, held at Custer Farms in Wisconsin. “Is that wind, or what?” Trump asked, abruptly pivoting from his remarks. “What is that?”A voice off camera – presumably a staffer at NBC News – confirmed the sound was due to rain.“This would be the first of multiple interruptions due to the weather,” Welker said in a narration recorded after the interview concluded. “Rain, hitting the metal roof, making it difficult for both of us to hear each other.”Independent journalist Aaron Rupar, who’s been labeled by The Times as “the man who watches Trump all day, every day,” characterized the multiple disruptions as a potential message from beyond.“The big guy upstairs wasn't pleased with this interview,” Rupar wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 1.1 million followers.After the disruption, Welker moved to get the interview back on track.“So as we’re having this conversation we can hear a little bit of rain,” she said.“No, a lot of rain!” Trump quipped as he began to smile.the big guy upstairs wasn't pleased with this interview:TRUMP: Is that wind, or what?WELKER: Is that rain?TRUMP: What is that?SOMEONE OFF CAMERA: Rain pic.twitter.com/acXzHBDZxz— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 7, 2026
In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, President Trump addresses the economy amid the war with Iran and says Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is “fantastic,” adding, “I want him to do whatever he wants” when it comes to setting interest rates.
President Donald Trump abruptly ended his interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker that aired on Sunday after being pressed on his false claims that the 2020 election had been “rigged,” removing his microphone and leaving the set in a rage.“You’re a one-sided, crooked network!” Trump shouted at Welker after being told no evidence existed to support his false claims of widespread election fraud. “Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough! Thank you, darling, have a good time!”Trump then removed what appears to be a microphone clipped on his suit jacket before Welker pleaded with him to finish the interview.“Mr. President, please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin,” Welker said.“I’ve sat in the rain with you for an hour, on and off in the rain and I’ve given you enough time!” Trump said. “You ought to straighten out your press! Come on, let’s go.”WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her.""I traveled… pic.twitter.com/qQaNIDnX4y— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 7, 2026
While a New Mexico legislative committee began its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling compound known as Zorro Ranch last week, one veteran journalist warned that the effort is analogous to “the fox guarding the henhouse,” flagging what they described as a major “conflict of interest.”Established in February by the New Mexico Legislature, the New Mexico Truth Commission was afforded $2 million in spending and granted subpoena power to investigate the potential criminal activity at Epstein’s New Mexico property, the site of which multiple women have claimed to have been sexually abused as minors.The issue, journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez warned in an analysis published on her Substack Saturday, was that the commission, “in reality,” appeared to be “mostly public relations crisis management and damage control for a political establishment in New Mexico that suddenly realized the world could see just how corrupt they’d been with regards to Epstein for decades.”“The commission recently selected a law firm to lead its investigation, and when you look hard enough at the firm you start to see that the commission is mostly a PR stunt that doubles as a bag of cash for political donors,” Valdes-Rodriguez wrote.That law firm was Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway (FCHC), an Albuquerque-based personal injury law firm. As flagged by Valdes-Rodriguez, the firm’s founding partners each “donated the maximum allowable contribution of $2,300” to the presidential campaign of former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who was accused by prominent Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre of being sexually trafficked to by Epstein. Richardson had also accepted $100,000 from Epstein in campaign contributions in his re-election bids for governor, according to news reports.“[Richardson] is a central figure in the very conduct the commission is supposed to be investigating. Whoops. Nothing to see here, folks. Keep moving,” Valdes-Rodriguez sarcastically wrote.“If that seems like a conflict of interest, rest assured the people who selected this firm, who also got political donations from its members, have considered the matter carefully and arrived at the conclusion that it is fine.”
When Delano Squires was growing up, he was surrounded by young black men who were not only getting into trouble, but getting into gangs and going to jail — while he kept his hands clean.“At a certain point in my teenage years, I said, ‘Well, it’s because of the families we were raised in. All our parents were married, ... we were going to the same church, same values across households, a community of men who were raising us and keeping us in line. And I realized that family structure was the key,” Squires tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”“So from there, just one of those things that I’ve always thought about, the importance of family, the importance of marriage, importance of my dad in my day-to-day life, his everyday presence. And at a certain point, I wanted to write about it,” he explains.And Squires did write about it in his new book, “The Vanishing Black Family,” where he argues that the breakdown of the black family is to blame for lack of education and high crime rates.“Men and women are continuing to have children, particularly in our community, where 70% of kids are born out of wedlock,” Squires tells Whitlock.“The other thing that we’ve seen over the course of the last 60 years is that as poverty has decreased in the black community, the non-marital birth rate has increased,” he continues, using NBA players as an example.“In a league that was 70-plus percent black, you had guys who were fathering four, five, six, seven kids out of wedlock, even though they were making millions of dollars a year,” he explains, noting that economics appear to have very little to do with children being born out of wedlock.“I think economics is a part of it, but the real reason is because marriage is no longer seen as valuable, desirable, accessible, or indispensable for the purpose of forming a family. And the reason for that goes back much further than current economic trends,” he tells Whitlock.Whitlock has his own theory as to why the black family has broken down.“If we had more God, we could have a successful marriage, and we could raise up better kids. That’s the missing ingredient,” Whitlock says.“The cause of the vanishing black family is because we’re not looking for God to be our provider. We’re looking for money to be our provider. And so, whatever makes us the most money is going to fix the most problems,” he continues.“And to me it’s, you know, we’ve just lost focus on who our real provider is. It’s not man-made money. It’s God,” he adds.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
