Sean Hannity accused prosecutors in Donald Trump’s hush money trial of only calling adult film actress Stormy Daniels as a witness to “humiliate and embarrass” the former president, which the Fox News host declared should “scare every American.” Sean Hannity joined Fox & Friends anchors Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt on Wednesday to discuss the hush money trial, which he completely dismissed as political theater and a “kangaroo court.” Trump is facing more than 30 felony counts at his Manhattan trial, where he’s accused of falsifying records to conceal hush money payment ..read more

Greg Gutfeld ruthlessly roasted South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) after she canceled an interview with him amid a rocky book tour. Gutfeld informed his audience that Noem nixed the interview and blamed “the weather.” “I don’t believe it. I just think it’s a little late to keep her on a short leash. I hoped she’d reconsider, but I’m not going to sit up and beg,” he said. The dog puns were a clear needling reference to a tale from her book, No Going Back, that leaked before its publication, where the governor recalls killing a puppy she considered untrainable. There has also since been a retract ..read more

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) expressed concern on the House floor on Tuesday that Islamic “Sharia law” will soon be “forced upon the American people.” During a bizarre rant, Roy questioned, “How many campaign ads, how many speeches are going to be given by my Republican colleagues between now and November about what they will do to secure the border? And what are they doing right now? Shrugging! ‘Sorry! Can’t do anything!'” He protested, “We’re shrugging it off! We’re pretending it’s not happening! I mean, is anybody paying attention to what’s happening in London?!” Roy – who has repeatedly ..read more

Mike Collins (R-GA) of doing something “beneath any person” by sharing a video of University of Mississippi students counterprotesting a pro-Palestinian activist, with some making monkey gestures at the Black woman. “It’s beneath anyone to be sharing that kind of material,” Jean-Pierre said at a Tuesday press conference. Protests have broken out at college campuses across the country over Israel’s strikes on Gaza. Police action has been taken in New York and elsewhere to break up encampments where students are ..read more

Phang was brought in as a legal analyst for coverage of the testimony by Daniels. The prosecution in the case began by asking Daniels mostly questions on her background in the adult entertainment industry and the details of her meetings with Trump.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) faced a grilling from NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas over a now retracted claim from her book that she met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and for refusing to answer a question on the January 6 Capitol riot. Noem was once seen as a potential contender to be Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick for his 2024 campaign, but those chances have taken serious hits as Noem has gotten into multiple media scuffles over content in her new book. According to a report from Rolling Stone, Trump was among the critics of a tale in the book about Noem killing a puppy she dee ..read more

The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper earned boos from a Comedy Central crowd on Monday after declaring Donald Trump will be the “next president.” Klepper highlighted what he described as a “class Trump beauty pageant” at Mar-a-Lago, referring to a recent event where Trump met with potential vice presidential picks for his 2024 campaign. The comedian mocked the event and moved into the former president’s hush money trial in Manhattan, but dropped a hammer on his unsuspecting audience when he declared none of these events receiving his mockery would hurt Trump’s chances in November. Klepper referred ..read more

AP Photo/Jack Dura, File South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem apparently really, really wanted to tell her dog shooting story — so much so that she floated it a second time around after aides kept it out of her first book, according to new reporting from Politico. In an article titled, “Kristi Noem’s Team Told Her to Nix the Dog Story Two Years Ago,” columnist Michael Schaffer wrote that Noem wanted the story out there “because it showed a decisive person who was unwilling to be bound by namby-pamby niceties,” but “agents, editors and publicists at Hachette Book Group’s prestige Twelve imprint, and ..read more
