Newhart carved a niche for himself in television history with two major hits

Trump was impeached on a strictly partisan vote.

Not even a week had gone by since former President Trump was shot in the head in a failed assassination attempt and The View’s Whoopi Goldberg was already decrying efforts to “humanize” the man who’s name she refuses to say without spitting on the ground. During Thursday’s episode, Goldberg lashed out at Trump’s grandchildren, who were attending the Republican National Convention with their grandfather because “they’re trying to humanize him.” In addition to images coming out of the convention showing Trump surrounded by his grandchildren in the VIP box, including the younger ones clinging to him, Goldberg took particular issue with 17-year-old Kai Trump, Don Jr.’s daughter from his first marriage, who spoke at the convention.   As a father, I could not be more proud of my daughter Kai and the amazing job she did last night. She reached out to me on Monday morning and simply said she feels very strongly that she wants to talk about her grandfather at the RNC and she nailed it! pic.twitter.com/8QXiPO4jlu — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 18, 2024   "To me he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school. When I made the high honor roll he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me," she told the crowd. That’s right, Goldberg was triggered by a teenager who loves her grandfather. “Now, for me, I have a lot of faith in the American people,” Goldberg proclaimed as she wound-up her attack, “and I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they're trying to humanize him and change your idea about who this guy is. Don't fall for that!” She then glared at the camera (pictured below).     Oh the horror! People will see Trump as a human and not a dehumanized hate object! Eelier in the segment, co-host Joy Behar had the sads because it was looking increasingly likely that President Biden would drop out of the race: It’s so depressing, the whole thing. You know, I think he's going to drop out now. That's my feeling. I mean, I don't have any information, but when Pelosi gets into this and Schumer and Schiff and Jeffries and they all say ‘it's time to go.’ You know, he just -- the COVID, in a way, is like a good way for him to get out because he needs this time to show how strong he is and he's sick and the time is very, very short now. Not long after Goldberg raged at a child, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) raged at the critics of Vice President Kamala Harris. “Kamala, if she is leapfrogged and there's some open convention, no Democratic nominee with win without the black vote. Black women will not support Kamala Harris being…overlooked,” she threatened. “She is ready to be the president. She's been in the Oval Office with him. She's been in the Situation Room with him. How dare people suggest that she is incompetent? How dare people!” she bitterly declared. Adding: “No Democratic candidate has won in the past five decades without the black vote. I think if they overlook and leapfrog over Kamala Harris, that is going to be a problem.” The transcript is below.

I mean, I don't have any information, but when Pelosi gets into this and Schumer and Schiff and Jeffries and they all say ‘it's time to go.’ You know, he just -- the COVID, in a way, is like a good way for him to get out because he needs this time to show how strong he is and he's sick and the time is very, very short now. So, I don't know what's going to happen, but I wouldn't put it past them to just say, ‘Look, Joe, we can't’ -- you know, Nancy Pelosi, she would not bring a vote to the floor unless she knew it was going to get passed. SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. BEHAR: This is not a woman who plays games and she doesn't feel he can win I don't think. (…) 11:15:53 a.m. Eastern WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Now, for me, I have a lot of faith in the American people, and I don't know very many men who want to be talked to the way that this man has been talking to men in his audience. I don't know any women – and I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they're trying to humanize him and change your idea about who this guy is. Don't fall for that! BEHAR: Trump you're talking about. HOSTIN: Yeah. Yeah. BEHAR: She’s talking about Trump. [Applause] (…) 11:17:45 a.m. Eastern HOSTIN: Kamala, if she is leapfrogged and there's some open convention, no Democratic nominee with win without the black vote. Black women will not support Kamala Harris being looked over. Why? Because she -- GOLDBERG: Overlooked. HOSTIN: Overlooked. She is ready to be the president. She's been in the Oval Office with him. She's been in the Situation Room with him. How dare people suggest that she is incompetent? How dare people! [Applause] [Crosstalk] ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Just to be clear, I suggested absolutely no such thing. HOSTIN: Not you, but there are people who are – FARAH GRIFFIN: She's entirely qualified. HOSTIN: They're suggesting that, not you. FARAH GRIFFIN: I do think I would be stunned if they went a different direction and voters stayed home and let Trump win though purely because the vice president was passed over. [Crosstalk] BEHAR: Isn't it up to a few swing states right now and not -- it's like a lot of white people now also. HOSTIN: Yes. GOLDBERG: There's always been a lot of white people. [Laughter and applause] BEHAR: I know that, but in these states. HOSTIN: No Democratic candidate has won in the past five decades without the black vote. BEHAR: So, do you think if they had a white candidate the black vote would go to Trump? HOSTIN: I think if they overlook and leapfrog over Kamala Harris, that is going to be a problem. (…)

Steve Deace has been “one of the most vocal critics of Donald Trump on BlazeTV.” In 2016, he voted for Ted Cruz, and in this year’s primary, he voted for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. However, following the near-assassination of Donald Trump, Steve did something his audience would be shocked by: He “went out and put a yard Trump sign in his lawn.” What changed?Steve joins Jill Savage on “Blaze News Tonight” to explain his “new perspective.” — (@) Jill begins by reading an excerpt from a tweet Deace recently posted:The reality is for all of his flaws, and for all the things about him and his way of doing things that have both flummoxed and frustrated me, the truth is Trump has done more to fight the darkness seeping into this culture and threatening to overrun it since he came down that escalator in 2016, than The Church has done collectively thus far this century. There's a reason the darkness is shooting at Donald Trump instead of The Church. The biggest problem America has is most of her pastors are unworthy of being shot at.“It feels like this is a very different Deace. What’s going on right now?” Jill asks. “The shooting crystallized something for me,” he says. “When Trump pumped the fist and said ‘fight,’ I frankly thought for the first time in a while that Donald Trump was talking to me — directly to me.” Steve calls Trump’s call to fight as he was being escorted off stage with blood on his face “one of the most badass moments in American history” and “certainly the most iconic imagery since 9/11.” “To see [Trump] there with that natural energy — nothing is scripted, nothing is contrived — and that defiance ... trying to resist what’s happening to this once exceptional and great country” is what convinced Steve that he “[needs] to be in this fight.” “If they’re shooting at the guy, this is clearly where the fight is at,” he tells Jill. “It was not George W. Bush — Mr. Born Again — who recognized Jerusalem as the rightful capital of Israel, appointed the justices that overturned Roe v. Wade ... it was Donald Trump that did those things” and “brought more stability than we’ve had in my lifetime in the Middle East.” “In the end, I want to be where the fight is.”

MSNBC host Joy Reid posted a video of herself working through a bizarre conspiracy theory suggesting that the Secret Service helped former President Donald Trump to create the historic and defiant photo image from the shooting. Reid posted the video on a social media account. She noted that the Biden campaign released a lot of detailed medical information about his condition within minutes of the announcement that he had contracted COVID-19 again. "But when it comes to what happened on Saturday, with former President Donald Trump, this assassination attempt, we know almost nothing about his medical condition," said Reid. "How come no one else has any information about this wound? We still don't know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel, we don't have those details," she continued. "We know almost nothing! Why? Why don't we know that much?" she asked. She went on to claim that it was unknown where the other three victims of the shooting were standing relative to Trump. "We don't know why for nine full seconds, Donald Trump was allowed to stand back up during an active shooting, an active shooter situation, even though they at that point had said the shooter was down.""They allowed him to stand up in the middle of that, you know, crisis and pose for a photo and fist pump the air so he could get the iconic photo, and then they allowed him to stand up again outside of the SUV instead of just shoving him into the SUV. That seems really unusual."She went on to detail the "hot mess" related to the security failures of the Secret Service and compared the situation of past shootings involving presidents in an attempt to paint this attempt as strange and somehow abnormal. "It's weird, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of curiosity about it!" she laughed. "You know, in the media world, my profession. It's weird, right?" Many critics of the former president have noted that there have been few official medical details about his injury released, but only extremists on the fringe have claimed that he was not actually shot. Others latch onto an early report that said Trump's ear was cut by shrapnel from the teleprompter being hit by a bullet, but that report was debunked quickly. Reid was torched by rapper and model Amber Rose after the MSNBC host tried to undermine Rose's speech at the Republican National Convention by attacking her racial identity. Like Blaze News?
