Reacting to an MS NOW report that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been counseling panicky staffers who want Donald Trump to get back to issues that concern voters because of his cratering approval numbers, “The Weekend” co-host Jonathan Capehart claimed the trusted presidential advisor is fighting a losing battle.According to the report, Wiles tried to assuage concerns and advised them to “let Trump be Trump.”On Saturday morning, Capehart told his colleagues, “I think White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is in la la land when she says she's directing her staff to stick to the affordability script and let ‘Trump be Trump.’”“Does she not know who she works for?” he asked to laughter from the panel. “You can be saying ‘affordability,’ but if brother man goes out there and says, ‘Look at the pool, look at the ballroom, look at this, look at my UFC crazy alien portal thing on the South Lawn of the White House, everyone's going to focus on that.” "I mean, is she — her job is tough, that's all I want to say,” he added to more laughter. - YouTube youtu.be

Some of Donald Trump's most reliable supporters are pushing back after the White House announced the president would deliver a speech as the replacement for artists who pulled out of the America 250 celebration, with critics on the right calling the move self-aggrandizing and tone-deaf.The White House promoted the event as an "AMERICA IS BACK Rally!" but prominent conservative voices were not impressed.Matt Walsh, the right-wing commentator and one of Trump's most prominent media allies, called the decision an unforced error. "Replacing a concert with a speech is lame and boring," Walsh wrote on X. "Just go out and get real musicians to play. Don't cancel the concert just because a bunch of washed up old has-beens canceled. There are hundreds of artists out there who might not be famous but would absolutely leap at the chance to play on a stage like this."Jenna Ellis, the former Trump campaign lawyer who was among those charged in the Georgia election interference case, was more direct. "America 250 is not about Trump," she wrote. "This is so egotistical."Conservative commentator Jackie Chea made a similar point, suggesting Trump "shouldn't make the concert into a rally" and instead should "channel his Show Biz days and let new artists compete with patriotic songs."The pushback comes as the White House has struggled to fill the entertainment void left by artists who declined to perform at the event marking the nation's 250th anniversary, with Trump's solution appearing to generate as much controversy as the original cancellations.America 250 is not about Trump.This is so egotistical. 🤦♀️ https://t.co/2SGfSXtHh8— Jenna Ellis 🐊 (@realJennaEllis) May 30, 2026
In an attempt to get some positive press after making good on pulling Stephen Colbert’s popular “The Late Show” off the air and replacing it with Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed,” CBS issued a press statement claiming it was a sound business decision despite a massive drop in viewership.According to a report from the Daily Beast, CBS claimed on Thursday the unpopular move represented sound business strategy, stating: "We're proud to partner with Byron Allen on a new business and programming model for late night that proactively addresses a network daypart that was cost-prohibitive to continue. With this 'time buy' model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit — a $55 million swing."The network reiterated its assertion that canceling Colbert's show had been "purely a financial decision," which skeptical late-night competitor Jimmy Kimmel had already rejected, stating: "There's just not a snowball's chance in hell that that's anywhere near accurate," Kimmel said. "The idea that Stephen Colbert's show was losing $40 million a year is beyond nonsensical."According to an earlier report from The Beast, "Comics Unleashed" drew only 995,000 viewers in its debut episode, while late-night talk shows hosted by Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon topped more than 1.5 million viewers on the same night — and notably, Kimmel's was a rerun, not a fresh broadcast.Even more embarrassingly for CBS, Colbert's YouTube presence continues to outperform Allen's new show, the report added. A one-night appearance by Colbert on the public access TV show "Only in Monroe" drew 928,000 views on his YouTube channel alone — a figure that doesn't include viewers on other platforms.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has mixed reviews from primary voters, according to a new California Post-McLaughlin Associates poll.
On Saturday morning, CNN host Abby Phillip was forced to call out a New York Post journalist who went on an extended rant attacking E. Jean Carroll while justifying a possible DOJ investigation of the Donald Trump adversary.On “Table for Five,” the conversation moved from Trump’s “lawfare” slush fund, to the accusations from the Trump administration that Carroll might have perjured herself during one of her winning lawsuits filed against the president.That led the Post’s Lydia Moynihan to go off.With the entire panel talking over each other, Moynihan won out and claimed, “At this point, nothing is official. It's widely reported by CNN and other outlets. Um, basically she [Carroll] was claiming that an incident happened in 1993, 1984. She didn't have any specific date.”“That's not what this case was about, “ Phillip interjected.“But let me just walk through this case real briefly,” the Post reporter insisted before continuing, “I actually do think if you look at the E. Jean Carroll case now, there is new evidence coming to light. She says that Reid Hoffman had nothing to do with it. It turns out he may have, so that's what they're looking at. But I will acknowledge the perception for Trump is problematic.”“One quick point, a clarification of something that you said -- none of this that we're talking about here as it relates to E. Jean Carroll is new,” the CNN host lectured her. “This idea that Reid Hoffman paid for some of her legal expenses was brought to a judge. It was dealt with in the context of the case and the judge heard the arguments and said it does not impinge on her credibility. So that part of it also has been credible,” she added.“None of this is new. We've known about this for years and the judge dealt with these same allegations in the course of this case,” she pointed out. - YouTube youtu.be
