Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt on Jill Biden's book tour: "This is really good for the Republican Party. Sorry, Harold, I know you don’t want that book to come out, but the more we talk about it, it reminds us that the Democratic Party have all lied to us... The Squad is in charge now."

Chris Wright: "The bigger threat to energy prices in the United States is Democratic green energy policies. They have driven up energy prices far more than a conflict in Iran. The conflict in Iran will come to an end, we hope that crazy green energy drive up energy prices policy... comes to an end."

"It was very strange to split it into two pieces. They did that just so that they could have the legacy correspondent in Jim Axelrod do the first part and then the idiot Tony do the second part as if the Bari Weiss people were being magnanimous," a CBS reporter told me. Here's the first part:

Credit where credit's due. CBS Evening News ran a fair and transparent story on Scott Pelley's firing, and Tony Dokoupil aired his own tribute, calling Pelley "a journalist who valued truth at all costs, and always kept alive the memory of colleagues killed in the field." He then thanked Pelley.

John Roberts is ostensibly one of Fox News' "hard news" anchors. "I have been saying for months that the one reasonable Democrat on Capitol Hill appears to be John Fetterman. He also seems to be the one principled Democrat on Capitol Hill."

Dr. Oz on Trump's latest physical exam: "That amount of energy and that amount of mental acuity does not exist in a vacuum. You have to have a vessel to carry it. And the president has a unique ability to keep going at all hours of the day with remarkable strength."

Damn. "So if at any time you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of blatant lies, remember to ask yourself, 'Who is this for?' I hope you choose us."

Hugh Hewitt wants every single American child to be forced to watch Trump's sycophantic Cabinet meetings. "I wish they turned the screen on in every classroom in America. It’s a civics lesson..."

Jessica Tarlov: "You guys like Spencer Pratt, which means people who vote like me are very hesitant to do it. Think like a disenchanted liberal -- " [rest of panel laughs] "OK, then don't win elections! That's your choice, because when you fall more in love with him, Karen Bass's odds... go up."

Fox News' Greg Gutfeld says "nearly" every single homeless person is an "insane" drug addict. "And over time, they become feral, antagonistic and violent. Gone are the days of the gentle hobo. It's a jungle out there. It's bad news!"

Dr. Shelia Nazarian, a reality TV plastic surgeon who describes herself as a conservative Iranian Jew, suggested the mosque had it coming because two 9/11 hijackers once attended it, and the imam and his wife have been outspoken about the war in Gaza. zeteo.com/p/is-bari-we...

“I’ll put money on it that there is some mental illness going on over there,” Rabbi Chaim Mentz, who has said Muslims in America have an "agenda," stated. “I don’t think that these two kids, regular American kids, are going to say, ‘Let’s go shoot up a mosque.’” zeteo.com/p/is-bari-we...

“The first question that popped into my mind was, ‘What is he doing in the United States?’ Is he a permanent resident? Illegal alien?’ It’s one of the first things I want to know,” Fox host Will Cain asked after wondering if the mosque attack was Shia-on-Sunni violence. zeteo.com/p/is-bari-we...

This is actually a very detailed, in-depth question from my ex-colleague Andrew Feinberg about Trump's thousands of stock trades — including a bunch in companies he's publicly promoted — and JD Vance answers it by condescendingly giving Feinberg advice on how to ask a question.

lol come on man JD Vance: "Why don‘t we prosecute people who violate the law? Let‘s not prosecute people because they said the wrong thing, or because they backed the wrong political candidate, or because they had the wrong viewpoint."

CNBC: So you reject the idea that you’re a culture war warrior here and have turned the FCC, this independent commission, into a political one? Brendan Carr: Well, if your culture is making sure that the laws on the books are enforced, then I guess I’m a culture warrior in that sense.

CNBC credulously accepts Brendan Carr's assertion that his order for early license renewals of Disney's ABC stations had "nothing to do with" Trump calling for Jimmy Kimmel's firing "for that distasteful joke he made about Melania."

Here we have Hannity helping Trump create a justification for not removing the enriched uranium from Iran, which was supposedly the primary reason for launching this war, saying it can be "entombed" instead. Trump then says it's "not necessary" to remove it, except from a PR standpoint.

Fox News is now calling on the GOP to "make the midterms about" - taking food stamps away. There is nothing that enrages the average American more than knowing they are being forced to pay into a system they will probably never get to use themselves, just so criminals can make a profit off of it."
