Days after its sister newscast NBC Nightly News bemoaned tariffs hitting Chinese slave labor-linked shopping apps Temu and Shein, NBC’s Today sent Beijing-based correspondent Janis Mackey Frayer to gallivant around Vietnam for the communist regime’s propaganda parade marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, a shameful scar on the country that’d be repeated in 2021 with Afghanistan. The networks have done this in the past, but there was no mention of the millions dead at the hands communist dictator Ho Chi Minh — either in camps, executions, or while at sea trying to flee — after the U.S. evacuated remaining forces and personnel when the North Vietnamese army crashed through the gates of the South Vietnamese presidential palace on April 30, 1975.     Instead, it was mostly hunky dory. Co-host Craig Melvin had the first of two teases: “Coming up on a very busy Wednesday morning, we’re going to look back on the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War some 50 years later. A live report from Ho Chi Minh City just ahead.” Co-host Savannah Guthrie had the other, saying in-between a soundbite from a 1975 news report: “Plus, 50 years later, we look back at the fall of Saigon...The historic milestone marking the end of the Vietnam War, and we are there live.” Later, Melvin tossed to Frayer like this was something to celebrate: “Meanwhile this morning, Vietnam is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the end of the war and they’re celebrating with a military parade and a focus on a peaceful future. The fall of Saigon marked the end of a Vietnam that was divided between the Communist north and U.S.-allied south.” Frayer kept the triumphant mood going: It was here on April 30, 1975 that North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops rolled into this city as the last Americans were being air-lifted out and the Vietnam war came to an end. 50 years after the fall of Saigon, a victory parade where spectators waited overnight to witness history. Every year, Liberation Day — as it’s called here — is marked with celebration and this is their biggest yet to commemorate not only the communists’ victory in Vietnam, but America’s defeat. The events included helicopters and jets over the palace where, 50 years ago, a tank smashing the gate ended the war that killed millions of Vietnamese and 50,000 U.S. troops. For the U.S., the fighting came down to a last desperate airlift from the U.S. Embassy here. She then met with a South Vietnamese Army veteran who doubled as a U.S. interpreter, saying he “wasn’t able to escape” after the war and “now blind.” No word on why he’s blind or what his life was like in the 50 years since! The only thing we did learn? That he requested Frayer and the NBC crew bring him a can of Coca-Cola because he had not had one in 40 years. Once she admitted the country is “still changing” since “most of the country’s population born after the fighting stopped,” Frayer saved the only negative comments for....the United States of America: FRAYER: After serving here in the 1970s, reconciliation lured U.S. veteran Matthew Keenan to come back. He volunteers at a center for victims of Agent Orange, a chemical sprayed by U.S. forces here that he believes caused his own cancer. MATTHEW KEENAN: They cannot explain why they have a problem they can’t explain about toxic chemicals. I can, and I do that for them. Only towards the end did Frayer arrive at a more apt view: “While old wounds still linger, today Vietnam and Americans here are no longer enemies. The war pushing further into history.” Back live, she gushed that “[t]here were several U.S. veterans who were are the parade today, as well as journalists who covered the war back in the day and there were U.S. diplomats spotted on this stage” despite the Trump administration’s ask they not go. Whether it was the AP falsely claiming Ho Chi Minh was inspired by Thomas Jefferson in leading Vietnam (with an iron fist), taxpayer-funded NPR touting a Time magazine war correspondent being a communist spy, the broadcast networks fawning over Barack Obama’s 2016 visit, or the endless lionizing of the era’s (liberal) legacy journalists (like here and here), the liberal media will always have a soft spot for the war that tore America apart.

Cuban-American Republicans who support deportations under the Trump administration are being called traitors and sellouts in a billboard campaign in Florida. The billboards are targeting Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as three members of Congress, over the deportation of illegal aliens to the infamous terrorist prison in El Salvador. 'The billboards are a direct response to the current political climate. One that’s very angry.'One billboard had red text reading, “Traitors. To Immigrants. To Miami-Dade. To the American Dream,” against a red background.The other Florida Republicans targeted were Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Gimenez, and Mario Diaz-Balart. South Florida constituents spoke to WPLG-TV about how they were receiving the advertisements. “I find that billboard inflammatory, but the world we live in now ― it’s there to get attention," said Noel Cleland. “I think the billboards are a direct response to the current political climate,” said Jessica Perez. “One that’s very angry.”A digital campaign funded by Democrats has similar aims and is called "Keep Them Honest." One constituent said they supported the message in the ads. “I think the [members of Congress] need to speak up,” Valerie Howell said. “I think they need to get the courage not to be cowed by Trump.”WPLG reported that more billboards were expected to be installed, and none of the targeted lawmakers had responded yet. President Donald Trump has tried to navigate numerous court challenges to implement mass deportations of illegal aliens, which he promised during his presidential campaign. Critics have accused the administration of acting unconstitutionally and unlawfully in some cases. The U.S. Supreme Court backed such a criticism in one case. Rubio has suggested that the administration will ignore court rulings getting in the way of the directive from the president. Images of the billboards can be viewed on the news report from WPLG on YouTube. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Last week, Glenn Beck sat down for an exclusive interview with President Trump to review his first 100 days in office. It should come as no surprise that they discussed a wide range of topics, as the Trump administration has operated at a pace that is both shocking and awe-inspiring. Among the list of subjects Glenn brought up — which included executive orders, congressional action, border security, judicial insurrection, and AI development, among others — was the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump provided valuable insight into the challenges of securing a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, what he believes sparked this war, and why he’s so set on ending it. Trump told Glenn that had he won in 2020, the war between Russia and Ukraine “would have never happened.” It was Biden’s energy policies that doubled prices and enabled Putin’s invasion, he explained. However, falling energy prices, thanks to Trump’s green light on energy production, is now hindering Russia’s efforts. Even still, negotiations to end the war are far from complete. “Is [Zelenskyy] the problem? Is Putin the problem? Or is Europe the problem?” Glenn asked. Trump’s answer? It’s complicated, but the majority of the blame falls on Biden. “This is Biden’s war,” he said, noting the “$350 billion” the former president funneled into Ukraine. Even though Trump inherited this problem from Biden’s deeply incompetent and corrupt administration, he’s still going to “end it” — not just for the sake of stopping the bleeding of cash, but also because the war is killing “5,000 people a week.” Unfortunately, Zelenskyy’s demands for security and aid aren’t making negotiations easy. “He's asking for more, just more and more and more, and he doesn't have the cards,” Trump told Glenn, adding that Putin has actually been the easier of the two to work with. “I don't believe that Vladimir Putin would be doing this for anybody else but me. ... I think he's willing to make a deal,” he added. To hear more of the interview, watch the episode above.
