Alongside Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro for this Friday edition of the show, we dove into the wholly manufactured liberal media storyline (courtesy of The New York Times) of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and flags outside his homes as a sign he’s ethically and morally compromised as a jurist and – gasp – a far-right extremist! Simply put, the obsession over this story and the double standard created illustrates how far too many liberals need to grow up and touch some grass. It’s a genuinely disturbing to see in real time neighbor turning against neighbor, putting one’s petty political grudges over basic social cohesion. We also discussed Ted Cruz entering the lion’s den at CNN in a duel with former conservative reporter Kaitlan Collins, who pretended to be offended when Cruz pointed out the left’s history of denying election results they dislike. Not to be left out, The View got its due, as did an amazingly tone-deaf MSNBC bit on food prices from multimillionaire Stephanie Ruhle. Listen to the show below or wherever you get your podcasts.

After repeatedly referring to Nikki Haley as "Birdbrain" during the Republican presidential primary, former President Donald Trump described Haley as a "very capable person" during an interview with News 12's Tara Rosenblum. Haley, who dropped out of the 2024 GOP presidential primary after a lackluster Super Tuesday performance, said earlier this week that "Biden has been a catastrophe" and she is going to vote for Trump. 'Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the V.P. slot.' When Rosenblum asked Trump whether there is room for Haley on his team or his ticket, Trump said he thinks Haley will "be on our team, because we have a lotta the same ideas." He said he's sure Haley will "be on our team in some form." Earlier this month Trump posted on Truth Social, "Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the V.P. slot, but I wish her well!" Haley served as U.S. ambassdor to the United Nations during a portion of Trump's White House tenure. Prior to that she served as South Carolina governor. GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky made an anti-endorsement of Haley earlier this year. "I don't think any informed or knowledgeable libertarian or conservative should support Nikki Haley," Paul declared in a video. Despite having dropped out over two months ago, Haley has continued earning votes in Republican presidential primary contests, which may indicate that some GOP voters are dissatisfied with Trump as the party's presumptive 2024 presidential nominee. In response to the news that Haley will vote for Trump, former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who describes himself on X as a "Proud RINO," tweeted, "Not a surprise but: Pathetic."

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas defended the franchise from criticism that it was mostly composed of white males on Friday at the Cannes Film Festival. The 80-year-old was at the festival to receive Palme d'Or honors on Saturday at the closing ceremony when he made the comments about the first six movies of "Star Wars."'People are always discriminating against something.' “They would say, ‘It’s all white men.' I'd say, it's not. Most of the people are aliens," he said, according to People magazine. "And the idea is you’re supposed to accept people for what they are, whether they’re big and furry or whether they’re green and whatever — the idea is all people are equal," he added. He went on to point out that his original movies only showed discrimination against robots and droids. “And that was a way of saying, people are always discriminating against something, and sooner or later, that’s what’s going to happen,” he continued. “I mean, we’re already starting with AI, saying, ‘Well, we can’t trust those robots.'”He cited several minority actors who were featured in the original movies including Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian and Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu in the prequel movies. Lucas then pointed to the strong female characters in the franchise. “Who do you think the heroes are in these stories? What do you think Princess Leia was? She’s the head of the rebellion," Lucas added. "She’s the one that’s taking this young kid who doesn’t know anything and this boisterous, I-know-everything guy who can’t do anything and trying to save the rebellion with these clowns."Lucas became fabulously wealthy as a result of the lucrative deal he struck to receive merchandise royalties from the "Star Wars" movies. He later became even more fabulously wealthy when he sold the franchise to Disney in 2012 for $4.05 billion. While many fans saw the Disney purchase as a new hope for the franchise, the subsequent trilogy of movies has angered many by dismantling some of the popular narratives of the original storyline. 'Why does everything new have to undermine what came before?'Critics have already lined up to warn fans that the next "Star Wars" show to be released will likely have woke elements owing to far-left statements made previously by the director and other principle “It looks like this series is going to be the worst that Disney 'Star Wars' has ever seen,” said Lauren Chen of "Pseudo-Intellectual" on Blaze Media. “Why does everything now have to be subversive? Why does everything new have to undermine what came before?”Despite that disappointment among many fans, Disney has recently said it has made almost $12 billion from the sci-fi franchise.
