In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News. The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump...

Sara Haines, co-host of The View, has warned that the Democratic Party’s unhinged screaming and volatile behavior at rallies is not fixing the country and is making things worse for them. Whoopi Goldberg noted that progressive leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., are engaging at rallies “at a moment when leadership roles on the left are wide open.” Goldberg also recalled how Sanders showed in his recent interview that he was “not ready to talk about future party planning yet.” Sanders recently accused ABC “This Week” host Jonathan Karl of asking a “nonsense” question about...

VIDEOABC's Jonathan Karl recently appeared at the Politics & Prose liberal bookstore in Washington D.C. with the lead investigator of the evidence destroying J6 Committee, Timothy Heaphy, who was there to flack his J6 book. Since the book ranks only #7533 on Amazon as of this writing it is obvious that Heaphy's payoff came in the form of a fat advance check, not from sales royalties from the book. During his appearance at Politics & Prose both he and Jonathan Karl were flabbergasted by being hit with a REAL question about J6 from REAL journalist Matt Orfalea. Jonathan Karl's reaction...

David Muir, who? It appears George Stephanopoulos has a new rival to look out for at ABC. Stephanopoulos’ political drama with President-elect Donald Trump has followed him into the new year and sources tell us his colleague — and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” co-host — Jonathan Karl, “wants George gone,” so that he can sweep in and take over the Sunday morning news show. “He wants the show, and he sees [ABC’s Trump settlement] as an opportunity,” a source told us about Karl’s ambition to move into Stephanopoulos’ spot. While Stephanopoulos’ name is on the show, he shares hosting...

VIDEO Jonathan Karl, who has a history of extreme TDS to the extent of even writing TDS books, was shocked that Senator John Fetterman was NOT also infected with Trump DERANGEMENT Syndrome during an interview with him. Fetterman's willingness to act like a normal person in regard to Trump also earned him the ire of the Bluesky Bolsheviks as you can see here.

Jonathan Karl: "Madison Square Garden was PACKED... Trump has created a movement, there is no doubt. I cannot think of another Republican figure of my lifetime who could've come into a Democrat city like New York and put together anything like that."

VIDEOABC's Jonathan Karl was so highly aroused by Kamala Harris' handshake at the start of the debate that he could hardly contain himself gushing about it later. Oh, he was so aroused by her handshake that he was ready to burst!

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the United States has a “crisis at the border” that needed to be addressed by immigration reform. Host Jonathan Karl said, “On immigration, when Harris ran for the Democratic nomination against you and others in 2020, she said she favored decriminalizing illegal border crossing. She even suggested she would be in favor of abolishing ICE. Now, of course, she’s taking, at least rhetorically, a much tougher line on border security.”

Former President Donald Trump suggested he may skip the Sept. 10 presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News. In a Truth Social post on Sunday night, Trump said to “Stay tuned” after he laid out the reasons why he may skip the debate, which included Harris turning down debating on other news networks and significant criticism of ABC News’s anchors. “I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do...

VIDEO Border Czar Denialism on the part of much of the media just came to a screeching halt. Why? Mainly because of an INCREDIBLE video clip from Newsbusters exposing the media hypocrisy of denying that Kamala Harris was the BORDER CZAR and contrasting it with sound bites from the past from the same networks as the denialists proclaiming that Harris was indeed a... BORDER CZAR.The big turnaround by the media, obviously HUMILIATED by the Newsbusters clip, could already be seen on the CNN Sunday shows of July 28 as they openly acknowledged Harris as BORDER CZAR. Too bad for you,...

As President Joe Biden flies back to Delaware from Las Vegas on Wednesday night, cutting his trip short after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most momentous decisions of his long political life: Should he heed the rising calls from his fellow Democrats to extinguish his bid for reelection? For Biden, is it a new moment? Even though anger and panic have been steadily rising inside the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks, after the president’s alarming debate performance in Atlanta, the White House and the Biden campaign are in a new place, multiple Democratic officials told...

A newly released book claims that allies of former President Trump tried to push a top Defense Department official into overturning the 2020 election. According to the book "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show,” which was published Tuesday, former national security advisor Michael Flynn and attorney Sidney Powell both made calls to Ezra Cohen, who was then acting as Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, while Cohen was traveling in the Middle East, ABC News reported. Flynn and Powell were among Trump’s most vocal allies as the former president sought to overturn the 2020 election based...

Left-wing ABC News host Jonathan Karl found himself completely humiliated Sunday morning by a fully prepared Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) after his ambush questions on President Trump completely backfired. During an interview on ABC’s This Week, Karl attempted to pressure Rubio into saying negative things about Trump throughout the interrogation. He started by asking about reports regarding Rubio being under consideration as Trump’s running mate and said he was surprised the Florida senator was open to the possibility. Rubio calmly responded that anyone should be honored when presented with an opportunity to serve America, and being VP is one way...

No Labels may finally have a candidate in consideration for its third-party "unity ticket" in the 2024 presidential election. Sources familiar with the group's efforts to field a third-party ticket tell ABC News that No Labels representatives have had meetings with former Georgia GOP Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan about running as the group's presidential candidate. Duncan wouldn't comment on this report, but isn't shutting down speculation. On Friday, No Labels voted to move forward with the effort to field a bi-partisan challenge to the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. According to the...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that only Democrats can deliver on tighter control of the U.S.-Mexico border. Achor Jonathan Karl said, “You’ve seen poll after poll. I could cite the latest Quinnipiac, but there’s been poll after poll showing an overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of how President Biden has handled the border, and we’ve also seen the flow over the border dramatically increase under the president.

I really did try today to stay away from many things about the conflict going on in the Middle East. Since the heinous attack of Hamas crossing into Israel two weeks ago, I have been reading up and listening to foreign news sources to try to get away from the filter of the US press. As many of us here at RedState have written recently, the US press reporting might be a bit off on their coverage and point of view of what is happening there right now. So when I came across a headline that basically had as its...

Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) did not say no to a possible presidential run when asked Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Anchor Jonathan Karl asked, “You waited until after your victory in the runoff to endorse President Biden, so you’re on record endorsing him. If he doesn’t run, is there any chance you would make a run for president? I mean, like I said, you have run five times in Georgia, one of the most important swing states in the past year, and won five times, and any chance you’d consider national office?” Warnock said, “You should take a look...

Representative Sean Maloney (D-NY), the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the Democratic Party will keep their majorities in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. Anchor Jonathan Karl asked, “So you’ve been pretty optimistic all along. You still feeling good about your chances in the House?” Maloney said, “Oh, look, you guys have been writing us off for two years, and we just went to work fixing people’s problems, helping our veterans with healthcare, capping seniors’ out-of-pocket costs in Medicare, taking on big drug companies, passing gun safety legislation, you...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic over the last two-and-a-half years, deflected responsibility for school closures in an interview on Sunday while admitting to some negative effects for children. The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who is stepping down in December after five decades in the role, was asked by ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl whether it was a “mistake” for schools to be closed down as long as they were. “I don’t want to use the word ‘mistake,’ Jon, because if I do, it gets taken out...

VIDEOOn June 30, Liz Cheney ASSURED Jonathan Karl on GMA that it would be important for the January 6 Committee to hear testimony under oath from the Secret Service agents who have contradicted the second hand hearsay of Cassidy Hutchinson. As you can see in this video, that assurance by Cheney just went up in smoke.
