Michael Phelps responded to trash talk on the part of an Australian swimmer who said that she was happy when she didn't have to hear "The Star-Spangled Banner" after beating Americans at the world championships.Four-time Olympian for Australia Cate Campbell was giving an interview in 2023 regarding the country's medal totals in comparison to the United States. Australians won the 2023 World Aquatic Championship in Japan with 13 gold medals, but NBC made the point that the American team had more medals overall.Campbell, speaking to Australia's "Today" show, expressed how much relief it gave her team to out-swim the United States.'If somebody said that to me, I would lose it. I would literally make them eat every word they just said about me.'"It is just so much sweeter beating America. The first night of the competition, we did not have to hear 'Star-Spangled Banner' ring out through the stadium. I cannot tell you how happy that made me," she explained."If I hear that song again, it will be too soon. Bring on Paris. That's all I have to say. To the U.S., stop being sore losers," she said in reference to the Paris 2024 Olympics.Campbell added that the U.S. team has an "infernal" cowbell and noted how annoying she found it when the team chanted "U-S-A, U-S-A!""I've never wanted to punch someone more," she said.Ahead of the summer games, Phelps was shown the video by the folks at the NBC Olympics channel. "I'm just gonna ask you to see this. How you might have used it if this was said back when you were swimming," an NBC team member said, while handing a tablet to Phelps.Phelps watched the video showing the anti-American sentiments and was barely able to contain himself."I appreciate your comments, Cate," Phelps said as he looked right at the camera. "If somebody said that to me, I would lose it. I would literally make them eat every word they just said about me. 'Cause people have done it. Chad le Clos? Ian Thorpe? You guys have all talked s*** about me, and I had the last laugh," he said in reference to other swimmers.Phelps, who clearly still has a competitive fire burning in him as he prepares to cover the Olympics from the broadcast booth, gave advice to the U.S. swimmers."So, for the Americans, if you see what I just saw, that's the first time I saw it. I would watch that thing every single day to give me that little extra," Phelps said. "The good news is the Olympics will be here shortly, and we'll be able to see what the results are," he added.Phelps last swam in the 2016 Olympics.Australia's Campbell attempted to qualify for the 2024 games but failed to pass through the trials, missing out on the Australian final by just 0.01 seconds.Like Blaze News?

Not only is Chris Cuomo now openly questioning the narrative he helped spread during the pandemic — he’s talking to Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” about it. And while he often isn’t right, at least he’s willing to talk about it. In a recent episode of “The Chris Cuomo Project,” the pair sat down and debated the massive list of failures that occurred under the government and media’s watch not so long ago. “I think the vaccine was not a vaccine, the vaccine did not work,” Rubin says to Cuomo, who then shoots back, “It works.” “It’s why the hospitalizations came down,” Cuomo added. “I know everyone says that, but I don’t think there’s really any evidence of that,” Rubin says. “I’m not vaxxed, they're not vaxxed, none of my crew is vaxxed.” While Cuomo notes that Rubin and his crew aren’t the people that needed to be vaccinated, Rubin reminds him that everyone was being forced. “That is going to be something that needs to be reviewed and scrutinized and, I believe, ultimately found to have been wrong,” Cuomo says, surprisingly. However, he disagrees when Rubin shoots that “Fauci should be in jail” for what he’s done to the American people. “For what?” Cuomo asks, shocked. “What’s the crime?” “Just in the last few days he’s admitted that six-feet social distancing was largely made up. He completely admitted it,” Rubin explains. “He’s the head of the NIH.” “The rule was from the CDC,” Cuomo argues, not budging. “There was nothing backing it,” Rubin says, noting that wasn’t the only thing that had no backing. “There was no evidence that when you went to a restaurant, if you were sitting you could take your mask off, and COVID could only get the waiter who was standing and had to wear the mask.” “Masks don’t work, at all.” Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations, free speech, and big ideas with Dave Rubin, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The Associated Press is facing criticism for leaving out important details in their initial write up of the case of a 12-year-old girl being assaulted and killed allegedly by two Venezuelans who illegally crossed into the United States recently.Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, are accused of luring Jocelyn Nungaray, of Houston, Texas, under a bridge, holding her there for two hours, taking her pants off, tying her up, and then throwing her body in a bayou after killing her.Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin confirmed both men had illegally crossed into El Paso, Texas, earlier this year and were released after being processed by Border Patrol.'Entire story doesn’t mention that the murderers were ILLEGAL ALIENS.' — (@) Many of these details you would not know about if you only read the write up from the Associated Press. The outlet's report simply labels the suspects as "two men" without informing readers of their nationality and legal status despite those facts being well-publicized:Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, each face a charge of capital murder in the killing of Jocelyn Nungaray, police said. The medical examiner has determined that her cause of death was strangulation. It was unclear if the two suspects had attorneys yet to speak on their behalf. Their names were not listed in jail or court records as of Thursday afternoon.Due to the AP being a wire service, its version of the incident, missing details and all, was republished in many other national and local news outlets across the country.Users on X slammed the AP for leaving out the reasons behind the tragic death. — (@) — (@) — (@) Nungaray's case is sadly far from the only case where illegal immigrants who have taken advantage of the border crisis triggered by the Biden administration are suspects in different murders all around the United States. This week alone has seen several new cases where illegal immigrants are alleged to be behind horrific crimes.The Washington Examiner reported on Friday an illegal immigrant from Honduras released into the United States during the Biden administration has pleaded guilty in Iowa to the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.
