Trump on Oprah’s Show in 1988 Talking About Countries Ripping America Off in Trade https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cPg-cmvOpHo

After firing back at Bruce Springsteen for criticizing him during a concert tour, President Trump is now calling for “major investigations” into Springsteen and other celebrities for their support of his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 election. In addition to Springsteen, Trump also named two other singer/songwriters — Bono and Beyoncé — as well as longtime TV host, actress, and producer and l Oprah Winfrey. Giving the all-caps key his usual workout, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Monday, May 19: “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR...

Oprah Winfrey is so proud of her bestie. The billionaire, 71, cried when her BFF Gayle King took off into space on the Blue Origin mission Monday morning alongside five others, including Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sánchez. Winfrey was on scene at the launch site in West Texas and told a reporter during the livestream that she wore yellow because King, 70, is “sunshine.”

Gayle King used a gay slur while retelling a joke on live TV. The broadcast journalist was interviewing comedian Matteo Lane — who is openly gay — about his new cookbook, “Your Pasta Sucks,” when she quoted one of his jokes back to him. “You embrace being gay and your homosexuality,” King, 70, said to Lane, 38, who had been freely discussing his sexual orientation throughout the chat. “And I’m wondering — where did this come from? The funniness that you were able to combine with cooking and and your stand-up, too?” Lane explained that he comes from “a large...

NEW: Former Kamala fundraiser loses it, rips Harris for wasting her money on "oligarch" and billionaire Oprah Winfrey. Lindy Li has left the Democratic Party after they lit her money "on fire." Li said she was treated better by the Trump team than the Harris team who "bribed" people like Al Sharpton with her money. "They essentially set $2.5 billion on fire... We still haven't gotten any answers as to why Oprah, a billionaire, got $2.5 million through her production company." "Then they spent $500,000 essentially bribing Al Sharpton moments before he interviewed her. And this is our hard-earned money....

Vice President Kamala Harris pulled out all the stops when it came to lining up the proverbial A-list of celebrity endorsements. They came. They saw. But they most assuredly did not conquer. It was an epic fail as a litany of celebrities lined up to join campaign Kamala. They spoke, some were expected to sing but didn’t, and, in the end, no one was listening. Why in the world would that be? The legacy media did its level best to convince the American electorate that everything was just fine and dandy, but this message belied reality. The folks in the...

Kamala Harris's campaign has been accused of spending millions of dollars on paying celebrities to endorse her. An account on X, formerly Twitter, known for sharing political news with a right-wing tilt, claimed that the Harris campaign spent $20 million on celebrity endorsements, including to Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Eminem and Oprah Winfrey.

Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, the Roots, Jazmine Sullivan and more will take part in Kamala Harris Election Eve rallies in Pennsylvania, the Harris-Walz campaign announced Sunday. Oprah Winfrey will also make an appearance at the Philadelphia rally on Monday, which will also include performances or remarks by artists like Gaga, Sullivan, the Roots, Fat Joe, Freeway and Just Blaze, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Adam Blackstone, and DJ Cassidy.

Turns out, Oprah Winfrey’s buy-in on failed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wasn’t as cheap as originally advertised. When it was first revealed that the Harris campaign, which spent $1.6 billion on her failed bid and is reportedly $20 million in debt, paid millions of dollars to essentially buy the support of a number of top-tier entertainers, Oprah was quick to deny reports that she was paid $1 million — the billionaire media proprietor held a September town hall with Harris and appeared at Harris’ final campaign rally in Philadelphia. While Winfrey acknowledged that her Harpo Productions staff was paid by...

Kamala Harris's campaign paid more than double what was previously thought to Oprah Winfrey as Democrats continue to fundraise past the election after going into debt to run a presidential bid. Reports emerged that Harris's campaign paid Winfrey's Harpo Productions $1 million as part of a very pricey and short run for the White House. But now, the New York Times reports that two people familiar with the matter reveal the full price of the event with Winfrey cost closer to $2.5 million.

Now that the dust of the 2024 presidential election is settling, I’d like to take a moment to discuss what I found to be one of its most distasteful aspects — one that, when closely analyzed, suggests that the “democracy” we’re all supposed to be trying to “preserve” has apparently already gone the way of the dodo. I’m referring to so-called “celebrity endorsements.”...

Well, this is awkward. After Federal Election Commission filings showed that the Harris-Walz campaign paid a cool million to Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions company for the town hall where Oprah endorsed Harris, Oprah denied it. Caught on a backstreet by one of those TMZ video crews and asked if it was true that "they paid you a million dollars for the endorsement for Kamala," Oprah replied, "Not true. I was paid nothing, ever." “The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place Sept. 19 outside Detroit, Mich.,” a spokesperson for Harpo said,...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨 Oprah DENIES Kamala paid her $1M “Not true… I was paid nothing — ever.”

Vice President Kamala Harris paid Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions $1 million, just one example of millions the campaign spent on various entertainers during the vice president’s failed bid for president. The Harris campaign paid $1 million to Winfrey’s company on October 15, according to a report in the Washington Examiner, coming after a star-studded town hall that Winfrey hosted for the vice president in September. Winfrey also appeared at Harris’ final rally in Philadelphia on the eve of Election Day, with the talk show star offering a rare endorsement of a presidential candidate. “We’re voting for values and integrity,” Winfrey...

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he believes Oprah Winfrey was “embarrassed by” Vice President Kamala Harris’s lack of preparation on major issues that was on display during Winfrey’s interview and event with Harris on Thursday. “She didn’t have an answer to anything, and she made a fool of herself on Oprah,” Trump said of Harris during an interview with Breitbart News on Sunday afternoon. “Oprah wanted to crawl under the table — she was embarrassed by it.” Several people criticized Harris for her inability to answer basic questions during the town hall event with Winfrey, such...

Oscar winner Julia Roberts was one of the many Hollywood celebrities who appeared during Oprah Winfrey’s free commercial for Kamala Harris last week, but during her message, the Pretty Woman star seemed to accidentally admit that people in foreign nations think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have ruined America. Roberts remarked that she gets to travel overseas a lot, but when she does, she is meeting people who seem to worry that the U.S.A. is not doing very well. Roberts explained that she wants people she meets overseas to be excited that she is American and she exclaimed, “I want...

When Joe Biden had to use a teleprompter everywhere he went we sort of understood it because the guy's brain is like oatmeal that's been sitting outside in the sun for a few days ... sure, we made fun of him for being unable to have a simple conversation without prewritten statements available to him but still. At least Joe had an excuse. Kamala Harris? Not so much although to be fair, her brain is also like oatmeal that's been sitting outside for at least a day but not because she's a million years old. She's just an unlikable, ignorant,...

Oprah Winfrey had a townhall style “interview” with Kamala Harris. All of the ruling class were in attendance —Julie Roberts, Meryl Streep, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Tracey Ellis Ross — most of whom are afflicted with existential angst as opposed to, you know, practical problems of daily life? I’m sure an event with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts was a great way to win over undecided Voters. They’re probably out there thinking, I can’t put food on the table, and I can’t send my kid to school without worrying about them coming home and asking for puberty blockers, and what...

DETROIT, MI — Famed talk show host and meme subject Oprah Winfrey was showered with accolades today after last night's release of a moving 1-hour special on the dangers of alcohol abuse. According to viewers, Winfrey sat down with one of America's most well-known drunkards for an interview, presumably in a thinly veiled attempt to warn Americans just what might happen if they also succumb to the siren call of the bottle. "It was a really powerful show," recalled Oprah fan Jack Morley. "I watched it as Oprah went through and hammed it up with whoever that other completely sozzled...
