It's time for Lefties Losing It. And sad news for the leftist activists masquerading as journalists at the Washington Post, with hundreds of jobs slashed across its newsroom after the paper lost $77 million in 2023 and $100 million in 2024.
I'd have a little more sympathy for those job losses if it weren't for the fact that the Washington Post is nothing but a propaganda outlet for the Democrats, pumping out endless misinformation, always in the same direction, and they were guilty of pushing the Russian collusion hoax.
Here's just 30 seconds of the fake news that the Washington Post pumped out and the rest of the media ate up. Russian President Vladimir Putin gave direct instructions to help elect Donald Trump president. According to a Washington Post investigation, former President Obama received a secret CIA report in August. That report, quote, captured Putin's specific instructions on the operation's audacious objectives: defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. This morning, the Washington Post is reporting that US intelligence agencies had sourcing deep inside the Russian government, capturing Putin's direct instructions in the operation.
>> Maybe a good idea to learn how to code.
Now, let's look at some of the indoctrination happening in American schools. Look at how these young children are being taught to hate and protest against the president.
DONALD TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP.
>> You know, that reminds me of going to school in Iran in Tehran and being forced to chant "Death to America" at school assembly. That's what blue cities are turning into. And it doesn't get much better when the kids are in high school. Here are more brainwashed kids protesting ICE and Trump.
[music] >> [music] >> But this has to be my favorite anti-ICE protest. This is just so stunning and brave. The sacrifice these lefties are making is profound.
>> We all got drinks without ice because...
>> ice. Cheers. Hey,
>> hey,
>> time to check in now on the Vice President, JD Vance, schooling yet another TV anchor. This just gets tiresome after a while.
>> Should you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Prew?
>> For what?
>> For, you know, labeling him an assassin with ill intent.
>> Well, again, I just described to you what I said about Alex Prew, which is that he's a guy who showed up with ill intent to an ICE protest.
>> But if it is determined, if it is determined that his civil rights were violated by this FBI investigation, will you apologize to that?
>> So if, if this hypothetical leads to that, hypothetical leads to another hypothetical, will I do a thing?
Now, it seems the Vice President has grown weary of doing interviews with dimwitted anchors on CNN, NBC, CBS, etc., etc. Interviews that are watched by a dwindling audience. So he went where the eyeballs are. In 2026, he sat down with Megan Kelly. Here, he talks about the media and their refusal to cover what has been an astonishing story: the dramatic drop in violent crime in the past 12 months, including an almost 20% drop in the murder rate. Assaults are down, theft is down, but the media has all but buried the story.
>> You, you asked about the crime. Okay. Why is the crime rate so low? There are a lot of reasons. One is that we've empowered local law enforcement. Another reason is because we've deported a lot of criminals in the United States that should have never been here in the first place because they were illegal aliens.
So the media cannot even express an ounce of nuance. It's never, "Oh, well, maybe this, we disagree with this. Let's have a conversation about that." And but, but, but like, let's tell the truth about the fact that there are Americans who are alive today because of Donald Trump's crime and immigration policies. They can't do that. It's always just shouting, angry, all the time. "You're Gestapo, you're the fascist." And it's, it's just crazy. And it does the American people a real disservice.
And the Vice President weighed in on the arrest of Don Lemon after that storming of a church in Minnesota. JD did not hold back.
>> Mentioned the press a minute ago. Um, someone who claims to be a member of it is Don Lemon, who's been arrested now.
>> The dumbest man in television.
>> Yeah. I mean, that, and that's saying something.
[laughter]
>> Uh, he's under arrest because he stormed a church in the middle of a Sunday service along with a lot of other rioters and disrupted people trying to worship.
>> He's trying to cloak himself in the First Amendment, saying this is an attack on freedom of the press. And you say, what?
>> Well, I say, first on, um, no one's objecting to you standing outside of the church and protesting. No one's objecting to you to pro... no one's saying you can't protest the Trump administration's uh immigration policies or frankly, our policies on anything else. What you cannot do is go into somebody's house of worship and prevent them from exercising their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. That's what happened. By the way, there is a federal law on the books that says you're not allowed to interrupt churches. You're not allowed to prevent people from entering or leaving a church. And the Biden administration aggressively prosecuted people. Where was Don Lemon when people were getting aggressively prosecuted for sham violations of the Face Act? We have a rock-solid violation of the Face Act, which is you were sticking a microphone in the face of a minister during the church service while the people you were with were preventing people from leaving. That's a violation of the law. That's not about the First Amendment.
Let's bring in president of the Center of the American Experiment and co-founder of the popular Powerline blog, John Hinderaker. The, uh, mayhem is happening in your home state. ICE is operating around the US, but it's only in Minnesota that we are seeing this sort of violent uprising on a regular basis with law enforcement being obstructed, being attacked, and we also had this storming of a church that has led to the arrest of Don Lemon.
>> Yeah, the reason, Rita, is that our elected officials, starting with Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, are openly encouraging the rioting and the interfering with ICE's efforts to apprehend illegal aliens, which, of course, is a federal crime. These officials are trying to make it impossible to enforce federal law in Minnesota. It is very much like what states like South Carolina did in the years leading up to the Civil War. Tim Walz has even talked [clears throat] publicly about being at war with the federal government and has referred to Fort Sumter, which, of course, is where the Civil War began when South Carolina troops fired on a Union fort. And Tim Walz is actually invoking that. So, the reason why things are, are so crazy in Minnesota, at least the primary reason, is because our elected officials are actively encouraging the lawlessness.
And they may have some motivation to do that because Minnesota was caught in an unprecedented fraud scandal, and we're not talking about that anymore. And President Donald Trump has said that fraud in Minnesota is worse than what has been reported. He wrote, uh, "The theft and fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the $19 billion originally projected. The Biden administration knew this fraud was happening and did absolutely nothing about it." John, he's singled out Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Governor Tim Walz as being complicit in this unprecedented fraud. Do you see it that way?
>> Well, what's basically happening here, Rita, is that this was a vote-buying scheme. Certainly, Governor Tim Walz knew that frauds were going on. Ilhan Omar knew they were going on, and they did nothing because they wanted to encourage all of this money flowing out into the Somali community. What happened here is that the DFL party pumped billions and billions of dollars into the Somali community here in Minnesota and created a voting block that is decisive in close elections. So, it didn't make any difference to Tim Walz or Ilhan Omar whether the dollars that were being pumped out were legitimate or were fraudulent. They were dollars that were going to their voters. Now, Ilhan Omar drafted the law that created the program that enabled the $500 million Feeding Our Future fraud. And she also reported her own financial reports that her net worth went from essentially zero to $30 million in one year. Now, is there a connection? We don't know, but she certainly benefits from the Somali voting block that those government programs have created. And talking about Governor Tim Walz there, his complicity in the, uh, dysfunction in Minnesota, the fraud in Minnesota, uh, was discussed earlier today. Let's hear from David Hosh. He's the independent journalist who featured in Nick Shirley's videos exposing fraud in Minnesota. He testified to lawmakers on Capitol Hill earlier today.
>> So going back to whether Governor Walz knew about it, Governor Walz admitted knowing about the fraud early in his first term, which would say 2020. Well, Minnesota Statute 3.971, subdivision 9, clearly says that if you are made aware of fraud in a state agency, you are obligated to immediately report that fraud to the office of the legislative auditor immediately. John, Tim Walz did not report the fraud to the office of the legislative auditor. He claims he did tell the FBI. Will there be any sort of reckoning for his, well, lack of leadership? His, uh, whether it was ineptness or complicity, it really doesn't matter. He was governor, and he seemed to not have his mind on the job. We know he's not running again, but could he possibly have an investigation into how he handled this matter?
>> Well, well, first of all, Rita, the claim that you just heard there by Tim Walz that he somehow called in the FBI, he tipped off the FBI. That was investigated by the Minnesota Legislative Auditor, and it was found to be false. Walz didn't notify the FBI. It was the FBI that came to Walz and said that they were about to execute search warrants in connection with what became known as the Feeding Our Future fraud. The prosecution of that massive fraud was carried out entirely by the federal government: the FBI and the United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota. They've charged, I think, 78 criminal defendants. Now, Tim Walz and his attorney general had nothing to do with it. They played no role whatsoever. They were bystanders at best and beneficiaries of the fraud. So, as you said, Tim Walz has been pulled out of the race by the National Democratic Party. His political career appears to be over, and there are reports that he's been referred for some criminal investigation. I'm doubtful that's going to go anywhere, but we'll see what happens.
Now, I think we should leave the last word about Governor Tim Walz to Senator John Kennedy from the great state of Louisiana.
>> Governor Tim Walz. Uh, whatever he says, believe the opposite. Uh, the, the [laughter] I'm sorry, the man learned to lie before he learned to talk. He's just a, uh, he's he...
>> I can't help but you crack me up.
>> Well, he's just a, less a less masculine version of Hillary Clinton. Um...
>> Oh, man.
>> Ah, Tim Walz is a less masculine version of Hillary Clinton. That's going to stick in my mind.
Now, let's have a look at this clash between Senator Ted Cruz and the co-CEO of Netflix during a Senate hearing on Netflix's pending $83 billion, uh, attempt to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery's streaming and studio assets.
>> Look, Netflix has long been a left-wing company. Your founder, Reed Hastings, is one of the biggest Democrat donors in the country, including giving millions recently to the massive gerrymander in California, making it one of the most gerrymandered states in the union because your founder desperately wants a Democrat House of Representatives. Susan Rice from the Obama White House is on your board of directors. You guys gave $50 million to the Obamas, as far as I can tell, to produce no discernible content whatsoever. How would you tell a Texan sitting at home to feel comfortable? CNN is already a dumpster fire. There's nothing resembling objectivity. There's nothing resembling journalism anymore. How are people at home to, how should they feel even remotely confident that if this merger happens, the combined entity would not simply be a propaganda outlet pushing one particular political view with much greater market power than you have now?
>> Well, sir, we would fail. We would fail pushing a political view or propaganda. We, we deliver entertainment to consumers. Our consumers see our business pretty much the way they see America: about 40% conservative, about 40% liberal, about 20% don't know.
>> Oh, John. Uh, that's not at all accurate, is it? And Netflix's political bias is pretty evident in its programming, throughout its programming, even children's programming. And to pretend otherwise is really insulting the audience.
>> Reena, the entire entertainment industry is left-wing, almost a thought exception. And Netflix is notoriously liberal. There are these Netflix memes, and you've seen them. You know what I'm talking about. Netflix, Netflix takes a program, and then there's the Netflix version, and in the Netflix version, all the characters are non-white and gay. It is a standing joke.
[laughter]
>> We see it all the time. These people are not fooling anyone.
>> They're not. And to, to go to that Senate hearing and just [laughter] deny the obvious. I mean, it's one thing to say, "We exist in an industry where the artistic community leans a certain way, so the content they produce is naturally going to be left-leaning." You could make an explanation for it, but just to deny the reality is just so insulting to the audience.
Now, before you go, the, uh, French cybercrime unit has raided the Paris offices of Elon Musk's X as part of a year-long investigation, and they have summoned the billionaire to front a hearing over his platform's suspected algorithm abuse and what they call fraudulent data extraction. But John, I do suspect this is, uh, got a lot more to do with Elon Musk being a free speech warrior and not allowing the bureaucratic class to dictate what people can say and discuss online.
>> Rita, there is a huge battle over free speech going on in Europe, and a big part of it has to do with social media. The European Union has adopted the Digital Services Act, which requires platforms like X to engage in content moderation under very vague standards. And many people think that what they're going to suppress is conservative content and content that is critical of their own government. So the US has been pushing back against those efforts. What I suspect is going on here is part of that larger battle over whether American ideas of free speech will prevail in Europe or whether European censorship will be imposed on American companies.
>> John Hinderaker, thanks for your time tonight.
>> Thank you, Rita.
>> Welcome back. Joining me now is celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, the man once known as Prince Andrew has moved out of the Royal Lodge a week earlier than expected, reportedly under intense pressure from his brother, King Charles, following the latest Epstein files release. Kinsey, what more can you tell me?
>> Well, that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is now effectively living in the exile that we anticipated. Um, and it's hard to see a path back with new devastating allegations of sex trafficking, active investigations by the Metropolitan Police that are new, and increasingly disturbing details emerging about his time in relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The walls are closing in. This isn't just a personal disgrace. I would argue it's the most damaging crisis to hit the British monarchy since the abdication because it strikes at the institution's moral authority, not just its image. Emails released as part of the Epstein files have revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell confirmed to Jeffrey Epstein back in 2015 that that infamous photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with his arm around the waist of Virginia Giuffre was, in fact, real.
>> Kinsey, the former prince repeatedly questioned the authenticity of that image and denied he'd ever met Virginia.
>> Exactly. And that's why his credibility is completely shot. For years, he insisted that this was fake. It was misleading. He'd never met her. Now, we have these emails showing Ghislaine privately confirming to Jeffrey Epstein that the photo was, in fact, real. That doesn't just contradict Andrew's public denials. It destroys them. When your version of events collapses against documented evidence, you don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore.
>> Kinsey, even more revelations about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct in the latest Epstein document dump. In an email dated March 23rd, 2011, a lawyer for an exotic dancer made bombshell claims that Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew, or the man known as Prince Andrew back then, demanded a threesome with his client and treated her like a prostitute, despite the fact she was hired by Epstein to dance only, not to have sexual intercourse. Kinsey. The lawyer alleges that after intense pressure from the pair, she did perform various sex acts on the men and never paid her the money that they promised her. Imagine being his daughters and seeing these headlines in the paper. And I say that with empathy while recognizing that they were adults, his daughters, when they got on an airplane with their mother to visit the convicted sex offender shortly after he was released from jail. Um, a lot of questionable decision-making happening within this family.
Now, Bill Gates has denied claims made about his conduct in the Epstein files in an interview with 9 News Australia. Here's what he had to say.
>> It's factually true that I was only at dinners, you know, I never went to the island. I never met any women. And so, you know, the more that comes out, the more clear it'll be, uh, that although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior.
>> Kinsey, his former wife has also been speaking out. What has she had to say?
>> She said we should put some pressure on her ex-husband to, to, to talk, to have to answer some pretty tough questions. Um, you know, she, she's saying, "Yeah, I think that I'm loving this negative attention, quite frankly. Um, this will be a problem for Bill Gates in the future, whether you believe him or not. Once false information is out there, it can persist in memory. This is science. It persists in memory even after people know it's false. It's a phenomenon sometimes referred to as belief perseverance. People may remember the content but forget whether it was debunked, leading to that lingering influence. These headlines have been so sensational that some have already consumed them as truth, and there's no turning back. This is horrible for, for, for his legacy."
>> Oh, absolutely. He's made emphatic denials about a lot of these allegations. Uh, but he also wants the public to believe that he was fairly naive in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. And this is a man who's considered by many a genius. He's a billionaire. He built this massive company, and normally those people aren't naive, but he does emphatically deny any wrongdoing.
Now, GB News has sent a reporter to Billie Eilish's mansion to question her about her stolen land Grammys rant after the local indigenous tribe said in a statement that the complex is located on their land, their ancestral land, and that the singer had failed to contact them about it. Here's how the attempt to, uh, access her property went.
>> First of all, isn't that ironic? Massive gates keeping people out. I thought Billie didn't believe in borders. The lights are on, so somebody must be home. Let us in, please, Billie. We are here because this is stolen land, Billie. And we think we should be given access to your quite lovely $3 million mansion.
>> Very, very amusing work. We also have an Australian, Kinsey, Drew Pavlou, who was on the show earlier in the week. He's also going to Malibu. He wants to move into Billie's mansion because he says, "No one is illegal on stolen land." First of all, good luck to Drew. But I mean, Billie Eilish has built her brand on rejecting attention. She says she's shy. She says she wants to stay above the fray and doesn't want the circus. And yet, here she is with international media on her doorstep. That contradiction is the problem. This was a moment that required nothing more than thanking the audience, accepting the trophy, and moving on. Instead, she chose to make a loaded statement. And now she's dealing with the entirely predictable consequences. You don't get to claim you hate attention while actively inviting it in this way.
>> And such an inane comment, just contradictory. You can't say "we're on stolen land" and also not believe in borders and anyone can go anywhere. I mean, just pick a lane. Uh, Don [clears throat] Lemon has sat down with Jimmy Kimmel. He's playing the victim again after he was arrested for storming a Minneapolis church during Sunday prayers, mind you. Here he is claiming the feds wanted to embarrass him with his arrest.
>> They want to embarrass you. They want to intimidate you. They want to instill fear. And so that's why they did it that way. Mugshot, fingerprints, the whole nine yards, a couple twice.
>> Kinsey, he is loving every second of this, including all that Hollywood agitation.
>> Don Lemon, I believe is what Tucker Carlson used to refer to him as, uh, has spent years courting controversy from on-air remarks criticized as sexist and ageist. You and I are past our prime, by the way. Our expiration date was a long time ago.
>> Of course. Yeah.
>> 30.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Exactly.
>> To radically charged commentary that even his former network struggled to defend. CNN repeatedly sidelined him. They reshuffled him, ultimately cutting ties. Uh, not because of one slip-up, because the drama became the brand. And at this point, it's hard to ignore that pattern. Don Lemon doesn't just thrive on attention. He requires it. Whether it's praise or backlash, positive or negative, the spotlight itself is the goal. That is not journalism. I'm sorry.
>> I know. And he put it all to air. This is the thing for him to pretend he was just there reporting it. It, it was just had nothing to do with the planning. He had no insight into the, uh, legal stuff that was about to go down. Give me a break. I mean, that's when you put all that stuff to, you're kind of giving a bunch of evidence to, to, to the prosecution.
Now, President Donald Trump has reached out to today's show anchor Savannah Guthrie via phone call to show his support after her elderly mother, Nancy, went missing earlier in the week. Guthrie has also released a video statement alongside members of her family. Here's what she had to say.
>> We want to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy. We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk.
>> This is just such a sad and mysterious case, Kinsey. Uh, what do we know at this stage?
>> I mean, the entire country is so captivated by this story. It is like watching a horror film in real time. The blood splatter on the porch of her mother's house. The Ring door cam ripped off the wall. Um, it's terrifying. Donald Trump did call her and say, "I will give you absolutely every government resource I can. I will do everything in my power to help find your mother." The FBI is now involved, but time is of the essence as she needs medication, and our ultimate concern is that they won't get to her in time. So, obviously, if somebody's watching us on YouTube or out there and they have any information, please contact the Tucson Police Department, but this is a very scary story.
And before you go, Kinsey, Vogue has done a feature on California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the comment section on Vogue's Instagram page is, uh, pretty epic. Give me some insights.
>> I read the opening ps of this story, and it was vomit-inducing. Oh my gosh, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall watching you do that. Overwhelmingly negative responses. Some of my favorite comments include: "Pure evil," "So disappointed in this," "He sure was in a hurry to destroy California," "Vogue magazine, do your research better next time," "I don't know anybody in California that likes this guy," "I just threw up," "Bad choice on this one," "Many of us in California think he has ruined the state," "Agree with what others have said. Hard pass. You lost credibility for me on this one," and "He destroyed California." Vogue, do you listen to your audience? I mean, this is not what we want. It's not. And this is a publication that refuses to feature Melania Trump on the cover, and yet they want to run these ridiculous fluff pieces on what who, what is going to be a presidential hopeful. Let's face it, they're not running this to promote him as California governor. This is all build his image for the next...
>> Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah. That podcast went very well. I mean, this just shows you the character of the man, cuz one of the first guests on his podcast was Charlie Kirk. He did him a huge favor by going on to his podcast, giving him that enormous reach that Charlie had. And then after his death, he, he was so ungracious. After Charlie was murdered, he took back the comments about how excited his son was about Charlie coming in and the prospect of meeting Charlie. He, he completely rewrote history there.
