A political analyst called out a striking contradiction that President Donald Trump's chief spokesperson made during an interview on Fox News. David Pakman, host of "The David Pakman Show" on YouTube, said in a recent video that Karoline Leavitt "immediately imploded" during her appearance on Fox News's "Fox & Friends" on Monday. He noted that Leavitt had a hard time explaining how the ceasefire brokered between the U.S. and Iran is going, and offered a contradiction that left him taken aback. "So, as far as we're concerned, we're holding up our end of the ceasefire, but violence will be met with violence," Leavitt told host Brian Kilmeade. "As you mentioned ... there were attacks on commercial vessels that the United States of America, directed by the president, responded to ..." Pakman described Leavitt's comments as "quite a contradiction." "That is a very conditional ceasefire," he said. Now, I'm not suggesting that what we need to be doing is looking away and going, 'We will never defend ourselves.' Of course, that's not what I'm saying. But when you've already failed to end this thing 40 times and every time it looks like negotiations are starting, Donald Trump goes, 'But we'll also destroy the country if we need to.'Why are we pouring gasoline on the fire?"

Rachel Maddow kicked off her Monday night MS NOW program with a discussion of Star Wars — and specifically, how one track from the original trilogy just cost the Trump administration a big settlement payout for unlawful police conduct."The Empire Strikes Back is just as exciting as the first Star Wars movie, but it is darker, it is definitely darker, right?" said Maddow. "Our heroes aren't, you know, just plucky underdogs like they were in the first movie. It really, really feels like they are losing ... it's dark. The whole vibe of The Empire Strikes Back is this, you know, the dark dread of this tyrannical force having the upper hand, seeming like it's winning."Even if you aren't a Star Wars fan, Maddow continued, or have even seen the movies, you're likely to know one iconic piece of media from them, she continued. "This sound from The Empire Strikes Back still takes you right back to it, still puts you right back in that fear and dread of the terrible, evil Galactic Empire. John Williams' Imperial March from The Empire Strikes Back ... instant American pop culture shorthand for 'you're looking at tyranny,' right?"Enter Sam O'Hara, Maddow said — a protester who took it upon himself, during the initial Trump-mandated deployment of Washington, D.C., by the National Guard, to walk behind them blasting the Imperial March on his iPhone. She put up a clip of the incident.For that, she said, "a National Guardsman summoned the D.C. police to arrest him for it. And they put him in handcuffs. For having done that, for having played that song." As of today, however, he has gotten a $50,000 settlement for that unlawful treatment by the police. Moreover, she noted, "his lawsuit against the National Guard is still pending. So there may yet be more to come."As for O'Hara now, said Maddow, "he notes to the Washington Post today that he does still go out and do this, only now he doesn't just do it with his iPhone, now he does it louder. With a portable speaker. And now he's just been paid $50,000 for the way they overreached and handcuffed and tried to lock him up for doing it." - YouTube youtu.be

President Donald Trump issued an ominous threat to gas stations across America on Monday, telling them that they must lower their prices or else "big problems lie ahead." "Gasoline Retailers must get their Prices down, IMMEDIATELY! They’re too high considering that Oil is now at $68 a Barrel, and heading south," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Retailers must quickly react to this statement and do what they know is right — DROP YOUR PRICE FOR OUR GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE!"Gas prices have been in flux since late February, when Trump and his Israeli allies launched the war against Iran. In response to the attacks, Iran exerted control over the Strait of Hormuz, a global waterway that accounts for roughly 20% of the world's energy trade, a move that has caused significant economic issues worldwide. Trump also warned gas stations against "price gouging" and called on states to drop their gas taxes as well. "There will be no gauging, which is totally illegal.," Trump wrote. "If Retailers don’t do this, big problems lie ahead! Start targeting around the $2.50 a Gallon number, and California should stop charging such heavy Taxes on their Gasoline. Soon the Tax will be higher than the Product itself, and the United States will not stand for it, nor will the People of California, who are being abused by these ridiculous Taxes, and by their own Government."
