After a 47-year broadcasting career, Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick is hanging up the mic. Emrick announced his retirement Monday after calling hockey for three decades, including 22 Stanley Cup Finals, 45 Stanley Cup Playoffs/Final Game 7s, six Olympics, NHL Winter Classics and All-Star Games. He has spent the last 15 years as the lead play-by-play voice for NBC Sports’ NHL coverage. “It was 50 years ago this fall, with pen and pad in hand at old Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, I got my first chance to cover the National Hockey League. Gordie Howe was a Red Wing, Bobby Hull was a...

Forty-nine-year-old Lee Keltner was fatally shot following a “Patriot Muster” protest last Saturday afternoon in downtown Denver, blocks from the Colorado Capitol near the Denver Art Museum. The shooter was an unlicensed security guard with documented far-left ties who was hired by Denver NBC News affiliate KUSA 9News. The story even garnered President Trump’s attention, with multiple retweets on Wednesday. On Thursday, Denver District Attorney Beth McCann, a Democrat, announced she will file second-degree murder charges against Dolloff. While first-degree murder charges in Colorado require evidence of planning and intent to kill, second-degree murder charges imply that “the person knowingly...

Guest host Tiffany Cross claimed that, while awaiting the conclusion of negotiations on the new stimulus package, Americans are "starving." Other than people who have fallen off the grid due to addiction or mental illness, perhaps Cross could tell us how many Americans have starved during these negotiations. Even more egregiously, the Rev. William Barber, a poverty advocate and regular MSNBC guest, offered up some statistics that can only be called insane. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

In lieu of a formal debate, President Donald Trump has agreed to answer voters’ questions during a town hall program sponsored by NBC News on Thursday night. The event will be held outdoors at the Perez Art Museum in Miami. A formal matchup between the Republican president and Democrat Joe Biden that was scheduled for Thursday in Miami by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debate was canceled. The commission shifted the format from a town hall to a virtual meeting, and Trump declined to participate. Biden is participating in an ABC News town hall Thursday in Philadelphia.

A bizarre investigative piece published by 9NEWS, the NBC affiliate that reportedly hired the unlicensed security guard who fatally shot a Trump supporter during a Denver "Patriot Rally," exposes the news station for contracting multiple unlicensed security guards.. An investigation self-run by the publication found that 30-year-old Matthew Dolloff—who is facing second-degree murder charges for the alleged killing of a conservative demonstrator during dueling Denver rallies on Saturday—is not the only non-credentialed security guard to accompany 9NEWS crews at riots during the past five months. In fact, Dolloff is one of five unlicensed security agents. Under a taunting "Training Matters"...

The number for NBC is 1-212-664-4444. The Moderator's name is Savannah Guthrie. SHE RAKED TRUMP OVER THE COALS AND WAS INCREDIBLY RUDE AND INSULTING. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TOWN HALL MEETING. SHE ASKED MOST OF THE QUESTIONS AND GAVE HIM NO TIME TO RESPOND. SHE ASKED HIM ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY DENUNCIATION WHEN HE HAS DENOUNCED IT INNUMERABLE TIMES!!

After the chaos of the first two presidential debates—including the absence of an actual second debate—the Biden-Trump face-off series will finally conclude on Thursday, Oct. 22, at Nashville's Belmont University at 9 p.m. ET. The third debate (or, if we're being literal, the second) will see Joe Biden and Donald Trump step up to their lecterns one last time to outline their plans to help the American people and shout nonsense over their opponent, respectively. After the chaos of the first two presidential debates—including the absence of an actual second debate—the Biden-Trump face-off series will finally conclude on Thursday, Oct....

Most Americans were under the impression that this week's presidential debate had been canceled. Then they turned on NBC and realized they were wrong. The only change, it turns out, is that the "Today" show's Savannah Guthrie was taking on the president in what the network hilariously billed as a "townhall." Twenty minutes into Guthrie's interrogation, not one audience member had asked a question. It was a stark contrast to the Joe Biden lovefest happening on ABC, where even softball questions were changed out for Nerfs. Of course, the president predicted the "townhall" would be an ambush, even tweeting beforehand:...

Kristen Welker, moderator of the Oct. 22, 2020 presidential debate, has selected the topics for that debate. Subject to possible changes because of news developments, the topics are as follows, not necessarily to be brought up in this order: Fighting COVID-19 American Families Race in America Climate Change National Security Leadership

Topics for the second presidential debate have been announced by Kristen Welker, an NBC anchor who will serve as the moderator for next week’s event, and coronavirus, race in America and climate change are expected to be widely covered.

Integrity is apparently a myth with the journalists at NBC News. The network’s insufferable Business Correspondent Stephanie Ruhle was just exposed for filming promotional videos for a bank she covers. The Washington Post, which broke the story, wrote that Ruhle “doesn’t promote banks when she’s anchoring for the cable network. But on the Internet, it may be a different story.” In a September 22 clip produced and sponsored by JPMorgan Chase, Ruhle said: “‘Hey, this is Stephanie Ruhle, and I’m looking forward to my conversation with Chase, where we talk about life’s unpredictable moments and how important it is to...

A Black woman who repeatedly nodded in agreement with President Trump during his NBC town hall meeting in Miami Thursday evening enraged the left on social media Thursday night. The woman, revealed to be immigration attorney and pro-Trump activist Mayra Joli, captured America’s attention after she was seen enthusiastically agreeing with the president while seated behind him during the town hall with moderator Savannah Guthrie, sparking the viral hashtag #NoddingWoman. Critics demanded to know Ms. Joli’s identity and accused her of being paid by the Trump campaign. “Journalists, if you don’t find out who that woman is nodding behind Trump...

Savannah Guthrie was hostile and ambushed Trump on Thursday night but it didn’t work. President Trump crushed it tonight and he went into savage mode after Savannah Guthrie asked Trump to denounce white supremacy….again.

The Dueling Presidential Town Halls: ABC lines up its lapdog on the left to keep lobbing softballs at VP Depends. “I’ll come out with a clear position before Election Day,” “I have not been a fan of court packing … I’m not a fan — but it depends on how it turns out, how it’s handled.” Biden didn't get one question on the Hunter exposé during ABC’s town hall, so thankfully nobody had to clean up that mess. Meanwhile over on the right: Savannah Guthrie stood in for Joe Biden at NBC’s 2nd Presidential debate. Joe still lost. “Savannah Guthrie...

President Trump on Thursday refused to disavow QAnon during an NBC News town hall, saying he knows nothing about it beyond that supporters of the theory are “strongly against pedophilia.” Trump was asked by host Savannah Guthrie to disavow the conspiracy theory, after she described it as a theory about Democrats being a satanic pedophile ring. “I know nothing about QAnon. I know very little,” Trump said. “You told me but what you tell me doesn’t necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that.” "I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia, they...

President Trump defended his handling of the coronavirus and his administration’s response to the pandemic during the opening minutes of a testy town hall discussion Thursday night. Responding to questions by NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie, Trump said he was tested regularly for the virus prior to the first presidential debate and before the “super-spreader” Supreme Court event at the White House.

NBC News has been given a statement by Dr. Clifford...

Social media users are calling for NBC News'political director Chuck Todd to be fired over the town hall scheduling clash between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The hashtag #FireChuckTodd was trending on Twitter Thursday morning. The television network announced Wednesday that it would be hosting the president's town hall event after he pulled out of the second presidential debate. The time slot conflicts with Biden's own town hall event, hosted by ABC. Trump's town hall event will be helmed by NBC News Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, while Biden's will be chaired by ABC News chief anchor...

CNN anchor Don Lemon had some harsh words for NBC after the network announced its town hall with President Trump, which is airing opposite of ABC's town hall with Joe Biden on Thursday night. Calling it the "story of the day," Lemon told his primetime colleague Chris Cuomo that people were "outraged" about the dueling town halls, especially since it was Trump who backed out of the now-canceled virtual debate. "Why on earth would NBC agree to do that?" Lemon asked. "You can do equal time on a different night! You can do equal time at a different time! You...
