Trump Press Secy flips out: "SHAME ON YOU!"

At a press conference, Karoline Leavitt lashed out at reporter Andrew Feinberg over questions about the DHS criteria for deporting alleged gang members, dismissing concerns despite evidence that the methodology is flawed. She repeatedly denied the validity of a document outlining the criteria, even as Feinberg pointed out cases where individuals were wrongly deported based on tattoos and clothing. When asked about the Signal Gate scandal, she declared the case "closed," brushing off further inquiries.

Trump OFF THE RAILS at INSANE press conference, TESLER

At a chaotic press conference, Trump praised Tesla and lamented Elon Musk’s alleged mistreatment but forgot to sign the executive order until a reporter reminded him. He showed little empathy for U.S. soldiers killed in Lithuania, dismissed concerns over an ICE operation in Boston, and gave vague answers on tariffs. When asked about a hypothetical third-term run against Obama, he rambled about his supposed accomplishments, reinforcing the impression that he is evasive on key issues.

From yesterday’s show:

IT'S OVER: Elon Musk STEPPING DOWN from DOGE

Elon Musk is stepping down from his government role, claiming he saved a trillion dollars, though actual verified savings are far lower. His departure appears to be a calculated retreat as lawsuits, oversight, and business struggles mount. In the end, Musk’s tenure was more about spectacle than substance, leaving the public to deal with the fallout while he moves on.

From yesterday’s show:

Tucker won't fly with vaccinated pilots

Tucker Carlson claims vaccinated pilots are too dangerous to fly with, citing a guest who conducted a questionable study suggesting high rates of heart issues among pilots. However, large-scale peer-reviewed research from institutions like Penn State and Oxford shows that COVID itself poses a much greater risk of myocarditis than vaccines. No credible data supports the idea that pilot deaths or medical incidents have surged due to vaccination.
