Free Republic

JD Vance sat down with The Daily Mail’s Phillip Nieto for an interview that covered quite a bit of ground, though one exchange stood out — in large part because Nieto asked the vice president a question that’s been on the minds of many. “Have you apologized, did you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?” the reporter asked. “For what?” the Ohio Republican replied, as if the question were somehow foolish. “For, you know, labeling him an assassin with ill intent,” Nieto explained. Vance again described the intensive care unit nurse who was shot and killed by...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for abolishing ICE during a gushing interview on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday. The socialist mayor told the hosts he doesn’t see federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing anything to help public safety. “I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist,” Mamdani said. Mamdani claimed deportation raids would “rip” the Big Apple apart. “We are talking about people whose crimes simply seems to be being in New York City and if they make good on this threat and would...

Breakfast is barely under way and President Donald Trump has already discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, the Royal Family – and now he is on to the dangers of a furtive South American foe... [snip] It’s a sunny Saturday morning at Trump International Golf Club at West Palm Beach, Florida, and the President is preparing for an important golf match. It is always a hard-fought, four-way game with his caddie RJ Nakashian, a golf professional, club professional John Nieporte and his old friend and White House peace envoy, Steve Witkoff. They are all seated at Mr Trump’s regular table in...

President Trump joins Hugh Hewitt for an approx. twenty minute interview on a wide range of topics.

Is Britain’s upstart Reform party really as committed to free speech as they would have us believe? Tucker Carlson was meant to converse with leader Nigel Farage on his trip to London last week. But, Cockburn hears, Farage pulled out after the stateside controversy about Carlson’s recent choice to chat with “groyper” leader and bête noire Nick Fuentes. Who knew the leading light of the British right would be so sensitive about “platforming?” Top Farage advisor James Orr, who also serves as an Anglo-whisperer for Vice President J.D. Vance, made excuses on Reform’s behalf. “It’s the donors and consultants, always,”...

Would Sydney Sweeney care to explain herself to the lunatic scolds? No, she would not — and thank goodness for that. The starlet, who is promoting her new movie, “Christy,” sat down with GQ for a new interview in which she was shamed for — possibly, maybe — holding conservative views. The writer tried to coax some sort of mea culpa from Sweeney for starring in a punny American Eagle ad in which she invoked her “great jeans” and showed off her famous cleavage. The summer campaign was based on an iconic 1980s Calvin Klein ad in which Brooke Shields...

President Donald Trump's extended 60 Minutes interview

In this new Fearless podcast episode, Cissie Graham Lynch welcomes Frank Turek, who’s known for sharing the Gospel with college students as an apologist, author, and president of the ministry CrossExamined.org. With 70% of teens raised in the church rejecting Jesus in college, Cissie Graham Lynch and Frank Turek discuss why this trend exists and practical tools for discipling kids in a world that emphasizes “my truth.” In a culture that promotes doing what’s best for the individual, how do we defend and share the Good News of Jesus Christ—the only source of meaning and fulfillment? This conversation, recorded one...

The NYPD had suspected New Jersey’s Masjid Omar Mosque, where jihadist Sayfullo Saipov reportedly worshipped, of having radical ties for over 10 years, allegedly keeping all its worshippers under watch. Moreover, the FBI, which claims it had nothing to do with monitoring the mosque, interviewed Saipov as a potential Islamic terrorist in 2015, but ultimately let him go. On Tuesday, Uzbek national Saipov killed eight people and injured at least 11 in a vehicle attack on the West Side of Manhattan on Tuesday. “The New York Police Department has secretly labeled entire mosques as terrorist organizations, a designation that allows...

As I write this, a few facts are starting to trickle out about Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, the man who committed the terrorist attack in Manhattan using a rented Home Depot truck on October 31, killing eight and injuring nearly a dozen more innocent people. (See, for instance, here and here.) First, we are told that he is Uzbek, having arrived in the United States from Uzbekistan "legally" in 2010. Second, some outlets have suggested that he may be married with two children, but I haven't seen any multiple verifications of that. Third, he appears to have been a Uber driver...

CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. The Paramount Skydance news unit said Friday it would cease editing taped interviews with newsmakers who appear on “Face the Nation” following complaints from the Trump administration over an appearance on the show earlier this week when U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made a number of false or unproven statements about Kilmar Abergo Garcia, the Salvadoran man who was deported despite his having protected legal status in the United States. CBS News offered just a portion of the overall interview with Noem...

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is ripping into CBS News for omitting her full answers during an interview on Face the Nation. The network cut almost 25 percent of her answers for their Sunday show, where Ms. Noem spoke about the ongoing efforts and operations to deport illegal aliens. She also expounded more about the ongoing case against Abrego Garcia, but CBS News took the hatchet to that as well (via DHS): During the broadcast, CBS edits deprived the American people from hearing the truth about MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The following 25 seconds were cut from...

The full Hunter Biden interview: HUNTER BIDEN INTERVIEW WITH CHANNEL 5 ANDREW CALLAGHAN (3 hrs, 16 mins)

Paraphrased: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to walk through the documents that she has retrieved over past 6 months and made public. She is providing to DOJ and FBI all documentation referred for potential prosecution. And that related to the (FISA) Black Robes.

The New York Times famously sparred with the Biden White House over the refusal to grant interviews with its journalists during his presidency, but former President Joe Biden finally ran to the paper this month as President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers put a harsh spotlight on his use of an autopen. The interview was widely panned, with many suggesting the Times buried the most crucial part of its own story, and it had essentially done more harm than good for Biden. Now, the Gray Lady faces widespread criticism and the Trump administration will investigate the legality of Biden's pardons...

Gaza journalist refuses to answer the question "What would be the appropriate/proportional response by Israel to the October 7 massacre by Hamas?".

Donald Trump calls her the “Ice Maiden.” But in person, the very private White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is warm and hospitable — as long as you don’t cross her. She didn’t become the most powerful woman in the world without a determined glint in her eye that can silence the most spirited cabinet member. Wiles, 68, has brought a sense of order and calm to Trump’s second presidency, which has given him the space to notch up wins at breakneck speed. In a rare interview on our new podcast, “Pod Force One,” she explained how she does...

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was repeatedly pressed by NBC News host Kristen Welker on Sunday about why he doesn't want to condemn the phrase, "globalize the intifada," insisting that he didn't want to "police language." "I want to ask you about an issue that has divided New Yorkers in recent weeks. You were recently asked about the term 'globalize the intifada,' if it makes you uncomfortable. In that moment, you did not condemn the phrase. Now, just so folks understand, it is a phrase that many people hear as a call to violence against Jews," Welker said....
