CNN’s Stelter: ‘Days-Old’ L.A. Images Being Replayed ‘Same Way’ Some ‘Talk About 2020 As If That Happened Just Last Week’ Video Source: CNN Ian Hanchett12 Jun 202533 1:53 On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” CNN Chief Media Analyst Brian Stelter said that there’s a “constant replaying of old images, days-old images” from Los Angeles “in the same way that some people like to talk about 2020 as if that happened just last week.” Host Laura Coates asked, “Brian, L.A. leaders, politicians, they are very angry with the way in which they believe the media is portraying what’s happening...

Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” chief political correspondent Dana Bash detailed her morning phone conversation with President Donald Trump. Co-host Wolf Blitzer asked, “You had a chance to speak with the president this morning. How did that go?” Bash said, “Well, look, the headline in our conversation about Elon Musk is that the president says that he has no plans to speak with Musk, and he said that he thinks that Musk has got a problem. So the reason why that is the question right now is maybe, perhaps very obvious but behind the scenes, the push is on...

Iran’s so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was reportedly persuaded to talk with the Trump administration about a new nuclear deal after being told by advisers that the regime could collapse if he did not. Khamenei had previously rejected talks with Trump. But with Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions, his military action against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, and Israel’s destruction of Iran’s air defenses last year, Khamenei’s advisers appear to have believed that the regime was on the ropes. The New York Times reported Friday: Mr. Khamenei had publicly and repeatedly banned engaging with Washington, calling it unwise...

House Oversight Committee Democrats are panicking over comments President Donald Trump made Friday about reforming the U.S. Postal Service. While Trump has not established a specific plan, he criticized the Postal Service and talked about how it might be improved upon during the swearing in of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. “We want to have a post office that works well and doesn’t lose massive amounts of money, and we’re thinking about doing that,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “And it will be a form of a merger, but it’ll remain the Postal Service, and I think it’ll operate...

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton claimed Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President Donald Trump talking about taking back the Panama Canal and not ruling out using military force “makes us look ridiculous.” Host Jim Acosta said, “I just wanted to get your take on what Trump said during his inaugural speech earlier this week that the U.S. should take back the Panama Canal. Do you take that seriously? And what does that mean, take back the panama canal? Does he mean some sort of military operation or pressuring the Panamanians to hand it back over to the U.S.?” Bolton...

A radical environmental group uses millions of dollars from liberal dark money groups to try and teach climate activists how to talk like human beings. The organization, Potential Energy Coalition, a 501(c)(3), says it “creates and executes marketing campaigns grounded in deep analytics and human-centric stories that are proven to persuade.” One of Potential Energy’s projects is the “Talk Like a Human” campaign, an attempt to change messaging on climate change. A slide of this presentation obtained by The Daily Wire shows the group encouraging people not to use words like “climate change” or “warming,” and instead use “extreme weather”...

Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Julie Roginsky said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that her party cannot speak to “normal people,” stating that it was “not the party of common sense.” Roginsky said, “You know, I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault. It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters. We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us. For a...

Here I go again. Since the liberal media is so upset with what President Trump says, I am again requesting help. This concerns two female liberal talking heads who used to make the rounds on FNC back in the early 2000's. The first one I remember I believe when Bush 42 was running for re-election in 2004. We were alread in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the liberal media was doing a daily body count of our soldiers who were killed in action. This one liberal woman was on one of the talking heads shows - I say on FNC because...

In an interview this week, Jimmy Kimmel conceded that the end is nigh for late-night talk shows. “I don’t know if there will be any late-night television shows on network TV in 10 years,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host said. “Maybe there’ll be one but there won’t be a lot of them.” Jimmy’s right. The culling has already commenced. After James Corden departed “The Late Late Show” in 2023, CBS didn’t kick off a dramatic “Late Shift”-style talent search of yesteryear — the network brass replaced it with a comedy game show called “After Midnight.” Nobody shed a single tear....

President Biden’s campaign manager has insisted that the chief executive is not talking “about shutting down the border” — despite Biden’s past overtures to Republicans about doing exactly that. Julie Chavez Rodriguez told the Washington Post in a profile published this week that “the president doesn’t talk about shutting down the border” and is “not advocating for shutting down the border.” Earlier this year, however, while seeking to corral Republicans into backing a bipartisan Senate supplemental spending bill that included money for border security, Biden, 81, suggested that he would crack down on migration across the US-Mexico frontier. “It’ll also...

A key Russian general who Russian president Vladimir Putin promoted this week said that Moscow's invasion of Ukraine is a mere "stepping stone" to further conflict with Europe. Vladimir Putin promoted lieutenant general Andrey Mordvichev to the rank of colonel-general after he had already been serving in the role of commanding the central military district and Russian central grouping of forces in Ukraine. In an interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, Andrey Mordvichev said that he believes Vladimir Putin's war will last quite a long time and expand in the future. "I think there's still plenty of time to spend. It...

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Thursday that she was glad the party’s top candidates grappled with each other over abortion during Wednesday’s first primary debate. “I was very pleased to see them talk about abortion,” McDaniel told Fox News. “If our candidates aren’t able to fend a response and put out a response, we’re not going to win. They’re going to do it again in 2024. And I thought all of them did a really good job on that.” McDaniel underscored that Democrats successfully weaponized the abortion issue during the 2022 midterm elections following the Supreme Court’s overturn...

Fox News contributor and former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that voters want a president to talk about their grievances, not his own, like the former president’s remarks about suspending the Constitution over the 2020 presidential election. Host Larry Kudlow said, “This business about suspending the Constitution because we learned there was free speech by finagling with Twitter. I mean, come on. You don’t suspend the Constitution. And he’s got to get off 2020. He just has to.” Conway said, “Look, I think elections are always about the future, not the past. People want...

Questions about Joe Biden’s age have loomed over his presidency ever since he entered the White House. On Sunday, Biden will reach a major milestone when he is expected to spend his 80th birthday quietly with his family, many of whom will be at the White House to mark another occasion: His granddaughter Naomi’s wedding.

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) stated that inflation is “important” but it’s “interesting, with everything else that’s going on in the world, that is the sole issue that the Republicans” can talk about. Lawrence stated that there are “other countries that are going through a global epidemic when it comes to our economy. And we have done so many things in this administration to create jobs, to keep the housing market open, which we know jobs in manufacturing and housing are some of those key things that stimulate our economy. This is a very uncomfortable...

Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Joe Biden had so many accomplishments it was hard to talk about them all. Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “You didn’t mention one of the first achievement, those direct payments to American families in the wake of the pandemic, the expansion of the child tax credit. A lot of Democrats think that your candidate should be speaking more about those accomplishments from last year.”

President Biden spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Tuesday as Ukrainian forces continued to drive back Russian invaders on two fronts. The call took place days after Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin claimed to annex four regions of Ukraine — some 18% of the country — and vowed to back up his claim with nuclear weapons if necessary. Biden signed a bill Friday authorizing another $12 billion in US aid for the Kyiv government while insisting the US will “never” accept Russia’s annexation attempt. Biden, joined on Tuesday’s call by Vice President Kamala Harris, “underscore[d] that the United States...

President Biden was set to speak with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) Monday afternoon as the Senate moderate continues to hold out against supporting President Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act, which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hopes to pass with only Democratic support in the coming weeks. White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the scheduled call hours after CNN reported the two had talked last week, with Biden making clear that he needs Manchin’s vote to help the legislation over the finish line. According to the report, however, Manchin told the president that he is not ready...
