Last Friday, President Trump made time during his trip to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin for an extended sit-down interview with NBC's Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, but was derailed several times by pounding rain on the roof of the facility, heated exchanges, and a premature ending as Trump abruptly walked out because he was tired of dealing with such a "crooked" network. Welker pressed Trump on the war with Iran, and asked if he broke his promise of no new wars, which grew a bit confrontational. TRUMP: No. I had to stop a country, very powerful, very dangerous country, from having a nuclear weapon because they’d use it. They’d blow up the world. They’d blow up the Middle East. They’d blow up Israel. They’d come here. They’d blow up Europe. They’re nuts, okay?...It’s America first. I’m doing our country a service. (....) WELKER: So, you’re saying you didn’t break your promise. And yet, Mr. President, in your first term, you held to that promise, and it was so fundamental to who you were as a candidate, to a first-term president. What changed? Because you insisted “no new wars.” TRUMP: Well, well. First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world? I built our military. I inherited a terrible military. We had no equipment. We had nothing. I built a tremendous military. Biden gave a lot of it away, but it’s still a relatively small portion compared to what I built. WELKER: But you said it over and over again, Mr. President. TRUMP: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why would I build a military — Now, I didn’t want to use this, but I’m doing you and everybody else a big favor....I know you, you’re a big liberal, a big progressive. WELKER: No! TRUMP: But we were -- WELKER: I'm just a journalist. Things got even more heated during Welker's questioning of Trump on his anti-weaponization fund. TRUMP: I love the idea, because people like you, the fake, dirty press, the crooked press, people like stupid Biden, he’s not smart enough to know what’s going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful Resolute Desk in the Office, what they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong. WELKER: All right, this is -- just to be very clear, there’s no evidence of what you’re saying. TRUMP: There’s a lot of evidence. WELKER: Let me ask about Todd Blanche. TRUMP: Listen – listen to me – listen to me. WELKER: Let’s talk about Todd Blanche. TRUMP: There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. WELKER: Well, it’s not been presented in a court of a [sic] law. Trump then turned to the legitimacy of elections, specifically how slowly it has taken to count votes in California: Listen to me, the election was rigged. It was a dirty election....And it’s happening again right now in California. Welker wouldn't let that go unchallenged, and that led to the end. TRUMP: [T]hey're cheating on the election. WELKER: There's -- what? Do you have evidence to support that? TRUMP: It's -- all I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. WELKER: But that’s not evidence. TRUMP: And I listen. And I listen to people. And let’s see what happens. WELKER: But sir, that’s not evidence. Welker told Trump (and, by extension, anyone else watching) to stop asking questions and refused to acknowledge the frustration: "That’s how they count the votes in California. State and local officials acknowledge they are slow...[T]hey're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California!" Trump replied amid Welker's pushback with the obvious: "Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?" Matters further devolved after the President said California officials are "crooked" and "the press is crooked," Meet the Press included. Take notice of the allusion to negative network coverage, a homage to the work our Rich Noyes with his blockbuster negative Trump studies: TRUMP: They’re crooked just like you’re crooked, your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked. WELKER: To be fair, I’m not crooked. But let’s continue. TRUMP: Really? Well, you play right into their hands then. WELKER: Let's continued. TRUMP: You’re either crooked or you’re stupid. WELKER: Let's continue. TRUMP: You play right into their hands with this stuff. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they’re rigged. Do you know that I won an election in a landslide, and I got 94% bad press.  WELKER: But Mr. President -- TRUMP: You know why I got that? WELKER: -- you've never presented -- TRUMP: Because you have no credibility. WELKER: -- evidence it was rigged. Let’s keep talking about, I want to talk about Todd Blanche. TRUMP: You have more evidence, there’s more evidence than ever presented. WELKER: Let’s talk about-- TRUMP: Your elections in this country – WELKER: -- you went to court. TRUMP: -- we're like a Third World country. Trump then doubled down on his frustrations with the electoral system and ended the interview, but not without saying NBC is "crooked" along with "ABC, and CBS, and CNN." "You’re a one-sided crooked network. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time," Trump declared. Welker then pleaded, but to no avail, wanting Trump and the rest of us to feel bad for her supposedly arduous journey (and the interview ending after 50 minutes, far more time than most journalists could ever dream of having to interview any president): WELKER: Mr. President, let’s – please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin. TRUMP: I’ve sat in the rain with you -- WELKER: I traveled all -- I know. I traveled all the way -- TRUMP: I sat in the rain with you for an hour. WELKER: – to Wisconsin. TRUMP: On and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? WELKER: Mr. President – TRUMP: A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Come on. Let’s go. WELKER: -- we traveled all -- listen. We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview. Welker then informed her audience that she had since spoken with Trump. I spoke with President Trump on Saturday, and we both acknowledged the complications during the interview posed by the rain. He agreed to sit down with me for another Meet the Press interview. Not sure what the rain had to do with Trump walking out. He made his feelings very clear. He said, Meet the Press is crooked."  Did they both acknowledge that?

When the polls close on Tuesday night in Maine, it's all but guaranteed that the man who has been accused of "toxic relationships" by three woman, sexting with women outside his marriage, referred to himself as a communist, called police officers “bastards,” said rural White Americans are racist and stupid, and sported a Nazi tattoo, Graham Platner, will be the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. The liberal media, in an effort to get out in front of this Democratic disaster, have taken to equating Platner with President Trump and Texas GOP Senate nominee, Ken Paxton. That was the case Saturday on CNN Newsroom. CNN host Jessica Dean and her guest, former Bernie Sanders Sr. Campaign Advisor Chuck Rocha followed that script, but Republican commentator Scott Jennings wasn't having it: DEAN: Scott, he's fought a number of allegations.... He's trying to move past this.... Are Republicans just like licking their chops at this?.... Both sides try to make the question that character really matters.... I think people would say to you, Scott, well, what about President Trump? What about Ken Paxton? JENNINGS: As far as I know, of all the names you just mentioned, only one person had a Nazi tattoo and has chosen to lie about it. And that's Graham Platner. He roots for American military deaths. He's mocking rape victims. He demeans rural Americans. He's been abusive to women. This is what Democrats are signing off on. This is their most celebrated Senate candidate in the country right now.     Then Jennings let it all hang out: His campaign was bragging that after all of these things came out, he raised $200,000 online. You have Democrats across the country investing in Nazi tattoo, abusive to women guy.... Some Democrats have said, I'm not comfortable with this. I suspect a few more will come. They had a perfectly viable candidate up there, and Janet Mills, but they decided to go with this, you know, scumbag, fake oyster farmer, Nazi tattoo guy instead. It's crazy.  No, I don't I'm not licking my chops at this. I'm weeping. We need a Democratic party that can stand up to people like this, not promote them. Dean then felt the need to defend Platner, leaving out that he was caught lying about the Nazi tattoo in the process, before throwing it to Rocha. DEAN: Just for the record, Platner has obviously denied all of these allegations and also apologized for the Nazi tattoo and a number of other things. He said last night that his past is being weaponized against him....What do you what do you say from the democratic side? ROCHA: Our politics today are really different than they were 35 years ago.... But now you have Graham Platner with a lot of his past coming back to haunt him. You have Ken Paxton, like you said, who has been impeached by his own party. There's lots of bad things that people have done. But I think Donald Trump has releveled....the way that people now are so anxious about the status quo, the question will be, and I'm not defending Graham Platner here, or for God's sakes, not Ken Paxton, but what will the American people stomach?      Rocha continued on his Trump kick: At one point you had a very flawed man, in my opinion, who ran for president....the American people elected him to be the President.... But how much anxiety is out there and how much stuff, I almost said the bad word, will, they put up with, to want somebody so far outside the norm that it may not be palatable for any of the voters. Dean called that ,"an interesting point", and then gave Jennings the last word, and he made the most of it: I've sat here for ten years and listened to virtually every Democratic pundit call Donald Trump and Republicans Nazis for ten straight years. They're now lining up behind a guy with a literal Nazi tattoo who literally lied about it. And who, oh, by the way, has apparently got credible abuse allegations from a number of women who have no reason to lie about this and every reason to warn the American people about it. Pretty disgusting. The Nazi tattoo thing, I'll never get over it, no one should ever get over it, but it ought to tell you where the energy is in the Democratic Party. Consider this another example of how the leftist media will attempt to legitimize Platner. And every GOP pundit should consider Jennings performance as a must see, and a blueprint on how to combat it.

Apparently, the bravest, most important man in America, fired CBS journalist Scott Pelley, sat down for an interview with New York Times podcast host Lulu Garcia-Navarro that aired Sunday (and taped Friday). It was a tour de force in rancorous arrogance and legendary levels of main character syndrome as he denied believing his semi-public berating of 60 Minutes boss Nick Bilton and CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss would cause him to lose his job. A job, we would learn, is on par with American soldiers and perhaps even more important. And, as we also saw, a profession that is inconceivable to him, no one would have grounds to distrust. The interview began on an insensitive and jarring note as Pelley said the upheaval at CBS News was “like your spouse was murdered” and, through misty eyes, asserted this isn’t “about me” and “I’m fine,” but “these people that I left behind…who are still trapped.” This, he insisted, was “the depth of my devotion.” Scott Pelley INSISTS “I’m fine” and this is “not about me,” but gets misty-eyed when saying being fired at CBS News is “like your spouse was murdered” and many times he “frankly fall[s] apart” because being married to someone is the same “depth” of “devotion” he gave to CBS….… pic.twitter.com/srOqyUZn6g — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Pelley explained “no one saw the Black Thursday massacre coming” in which executive producer Tanya Simon, her deputy, other staff members, and correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega were fired. He said it triggered “dismay” and “shock” to see colleagues he went to war with were laid off. Pelley actually compared it to “when somebody wipes out, murders a large number of your family members, people are hurt and shocked in disbelief and just desperate for some explanation.” CBS’s Scott Pelley breaks down in tears over how colleagues he went “into liberal combat together” with overseas were all fired, giving off feelings of “shock, dismay, impossible to believe”… “Shock, dismay, impossible to believe, searching desperately for an explanation,… pic.twitter.com/RhpiD6ARy0 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Again, how insensitive to those who’ve actually experienced that heartbreaking scenario. At least Pelley’s colleagues are still alive, and he has his sailboat. To Garcia-Navarro’s credit, she asked him to explain why he ignored previous overtures from Bilton to talk instead of blow himself up in front of the entire staff: WATCH: Scott Pelley explains away his decision to reject any and all overtures from Nick Bilton and Bari Weiss's team about the '60 Minutes' changes, waiting until the all-hands meeting to attack... “I’m almost 69 years old. And if I’ve learned one thing in life, it is not to… pic.twitter.com/np9GObrkmT — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 As for why he unleashed such anger at his bosses, he called it “fate” and broke down in tears when saying “newsrooms are sort of like the military” and have “life-threatening job[s]” with “very strong bonds” that demand “people…go to war zones when…pregnant.” He added Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton, and their lieutenants “have never felt that” in their lives (click “expand”): EYE ROLL: Scott Pelley says “it was fate” that he chose to tear into his new bosses to their faces and cries AGAIN when saying “newsrooms are sort of like the military” and have “life-threatening job[s]” with “very strong bonds” that demand “people…go to war zones… pic.twitter.com/pYD27PaKFd — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 It was fate. First of all, our entire senior staff had been wiped out there and out there. I looked around the room, I’m the only correspondent there, which surprised me very much. I learned that my colleagues were out shooting stories as they should be in the month of June. But I’m the only correspondent there, which surprised me. And I looked around at my friends and colleagues in the room and realized I was the senior person. Only I could do it. None of them could be asked to take that risk. So, when I saw Nick Bilton’s email and then saw him reading to my broken-hearted people off his phone, I felt that somebody had to stand up for the broadcast, not just the broadcast, but the people. There are people in that room who go to war zones when they are pregnant. [SOBBING] Newsrooms are sort of like the military or the police or the beautiful people at the FDNY down the street. It is a life-threatening job in many instances. And very strong bonds, very emotional bonds are found or are developed in that kind of setting. And to have people running CBS News who don’t know that, have never felt that, and don’t understand it, is a tragedy I never expected to see. Another embarrassing moment came when she twice wondered how Pelley couldn’t have realized attacking management in such a way wouldn’t have led to consequences. Pelley said it was the “furthest thing from my mind” and “it hadn’t occurred to me.” Thus, he said, he “just didn’t connect the dots,” but said his indignation was appropriate because the series of meetings last week were “about whether 60 Minutes was even going to survive”: Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “But it really didn’t occur to you that you could be fired after so many of your colleagues had been let go after you’d had this, you know, very contentious interaction with your new boss?” Scott Pelley: “You know, some reporter, I turned out to be. I just… pic.twitter.com/rDtKTzJMgY — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Once he unspooled his recollections of his meeting with Cibrowski and Weiss before his firing, Garcia-Navarro made another attempt to have Pelley consider he went too far: The arrogance of this guy... Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “But, Scott, in a meeting, you accused Bari Weiss, the head of the network of wanting to murder the show, of coming into 60 Minutes with the agenda to dismantle the institution. And you did not think that that was going to have… pic.twitter.com/ZCiPXY1cyW — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Zooming past his initial recollections of David Ellison’s Skydance purchasing CBS’s parent company Paramount, and the end of the Redstone family’s ownership, Pelley again showed his thick walls of bias by conceding he had never heard of Bari Weiss prior to her hiring: Scott Pelley says he had never even heard of Bari Weiss before she was hired as CBS News editor-in-chief pic.twitter.com/18W475MC23 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Pelley quickly came to loathe Weiss. Why? Because she stated something Pelley found meritless, which was that increasing numbers of Americans distrust the media due to their bias: WATCH: Here’s the full exchange of Scott Pelley saying he was “shocked” to hear @BariWeiss or anyone say there’s a bias at CBS News and the country doesn’t trust the news media, insisting “we certainly didn’t believe that….” Garcia-Navarro: “So, when Bari comes in, she has a… pic.twitter.com/c88dPEfWhc — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Pelley disclosed one claim of interference from Weiss, which allegedly came in a piece he did on the Minneapolis unrest with immigration enforcement. He claimed Weiss tried to tell 60 Minutes that Renee Good tried to hit the officer with her car, which Pelley refused to include because he believes the facts showed otherwise: Scott Pelley says, contrary to what President Trump, Bari Weiss, and others claim, there's no evidence Renee Good tried to hit ICE officer Jonathan Ross with her car, but he shot her anyway pic.twitter.com/mSJyYT9idr — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 Pelley wept again when declaring Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski showed “breathtaking, complete lack of empathy,” “callousness,” and “inhumanity” by letting go Tanya Simon because her “family is legendary at CBS News.” He reiterated the tears are not “about me...but the people I leave behind treated in this way, that breaks my heart. And it’s going to take me a long time to get over it.” Scott Pelley cries again when declaring CBS’s Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski showed “breathtaking, completely lack of empathy,” “callousness,” and “inhumanity” by letting go Tanya Simon because her “family is legendary at CBS News.” He again insists the tears are not “about me,”… pic.twitter.com/5WSjQDJjmF — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 A few minutes after he called on the Ellison family to fire Bari Weiss because “[s]he brings an ideology into CBS News where that is just anathema,” Pelley cried yet again because President Trump said liberals like Pelley “don’t care about” America. This gave Pelley the chance to compare himself to soldiers and claim journalists like him are actually more important. Why? Because while both have “been in combat,” “[t]her is no democracy without journalism” (click “expand”): Scott Pelley sobs when he argues he’s just like U.S. troops because both go to war to serve the country and might even be more important because “there is no democracy without journalism”… “Don’t care about the country?

PELLEY: Stupid. I can take that. Stiff, yeah, probably. Don’t care about the country? [CRYING] I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the President of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country. Please correct me if I’m wrong. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment. You become a journalist because you love the country. And while all the other descriptions that the President used about me might be applicable, not that one. [CRYING] There is no democracy without journalism. It can’t be done. And that is why I am a journalist. Pelley closed with what he hopes Paramount Skydance executives do in the future to end this Weiss tenure in which “there is a thumb on the scale for” Donald Trump’s GOP and “there’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen” before at the network. The pomposity of this guy… “[T]hey don’t know what they’re doing, and there’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen at 60 Minutes before, and so – or at CBS News before. And so, that is my hope. A return to sanity, a return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have… pic.twitter.com/XwOrOMcFr0 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 7, 2026 “[T]hat is my hope. A return to sanity, a return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those things in abundance. And now, we don’t. We can save this. It’s possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire,” he concluded. To see the transcript of the Pelley interview from June 7 (taped June 5), click here.

Double standards for death at the hands of public first responders? On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz reported a reversal of a 2019 racially charged homicide conviction that she claimed "foreshadowed" the 2020 death of George Floyd via the victim's final words, "I can't breathe." "A court in Colorado reversed the homicide convictions today for two paramedics who'd been sentenced in the overdose death of Elijah McClain," anchor Amna Nawaz led into the story. "The 23-year-old black man had been forcibly restrained by police as he walked home from a convenience store in 2019. The paramedics injected him with ketamine and were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide after a trial in 2023. Today's ruling sends their cases back to a lower court. McClain's final words, "I can't breathe," foreshadowed those of George Floyd a year later and helped fuel public anger over police tactics across the nation." Those paramedics were actually with Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics, though police were on the scene of the death, which social media inflamed into a pre-George Floyd “say his name” virtue-signaling opportunity. Compare that to what Nawaz had to say about a new racially charged “I can’t breathe” incident from the United Kingdom, one conservatives see as proof of their belief that the United Kingdom is engaged in two-tier policing, with one standard for English citizens, who cops have been woke-trained to assume are racist, and a lenient standard for minorities and migrants. Background: Last December, 18-year-old college student Henry Nowak was stabbed five times in Southampton street by Vickrum Digwa, a British-born son of Sikh Indian nationals. But when the police arrived they handcuffed the stabbing victim Nowak instead, after Digwa (who knew how the race-game was played) falsely claimed Nowak had “racially abused” him. A handcuffed Nowak pled that he had been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. One compassionate police officer is heard to reply via bodycam, “I don’t think you have, mate.” Nowak died minutes later. Digwa was recently found guilty. Wednesday evening marked the News Hour’s first mention of the Nowak case, yet Nawaz’s insufficiently brief mention led with protests that came in the aftermath of the verdict and subsequent release of the bodycam footage -- not the woke police atrocity that sparked the protests.   PBS anchor Amna Nawaz leads with the protest, not the atrocity itself: "At least 11 officers were injured during clashes last night in...Southampton, where Henry Nowak was killed in December. The release of bodycam footage from the incident has fired up Britain`s far right..." pic.twitter.com/ZNT0WvnNmA — Clay Waters

With Maine's U.S. Senate Primary slated for next Tuesday, the liberal, elite media are doing all they can to limit the damage caused by the drip, drip, drip of revelations against Democrat Graham Platner, who was accused by three women in a Thursday New York Times story of volatile and “toxic” relationships that were unsettling and at times emotionally wrenching. On Friday's edition of the Fox News Channel's The Five, liberal Jessica Tarlov went to the mat for Platner's chances in November. Kayleigh McEnany provided the background and then threw it to Tarlov, who proceeded to imply that unless you are in Maine, you have no right to weigh in, and that the people of Maine may be less informed, and or not care as much about Platner's baggage:     TARLOV: Well, the thing is it's not up to me, and it's not up to anyone sitting at this table. We're sitting here in an air-conditioned studio in New York City. And the people of Maine, who are, by the way, not terminally online, might have a different opinion of this. "We'll find out if Democrats in Maine like Nazi tattoos," McEnany replied. That one seemed to hit a nerve with Tarlov, who momentarily paused and replied with an "okay" before continuing to praise what Platner stands for: What people have heard that they like is his platform. They've heard him talking about making sure that working-class people can have a better quality of life. They've heard him talking about Medicare for all, that we all deserve decent health care. These are things resonating across the country, in Democratic and in Republican districts. Yes, and Mussolini made the trains run on time. Tarlov then sent mixed messages about The Times story: The article was deeply disturbing to me. (....) That's really serious stuff, and you look insane if you're just outright saying oh, I don't consider this to be a real thing. (...) They also did a disservice putting [Lyndsey Fifield] out there essentially on her own when there is an argument, which is being made and taken very seriously by people that this could be politically motivated. This woman does work for Republican organizations, Heritage, Independent Women. She was one of the founders of a group called Ladies for Kavanaugh.  After saying her party will not be "lectured by the party of Donald Trump or Ken Paxton," Tarlv brought up an accusation against Congressman Max Miller (R-IL) of pouring boiling water on his wife (which he has denied), and used a post by Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report to claim that it will be "older, white women who live in Kennebec or York City," who will determine the election, once again ridiculously stating, "At this point, it's not up to us."  Gutfeld had enough:   GUTFELD: I'm so glad to be in an air-conditioned studio. I didn't know that it obscures my view of a Nazi. Somehow, my opinion means less about a guy with a Nazi tattoo, because I'm in an air-conditioned studio. TARLOV: But you don't vote for him is my point. (....) GUTFELD: We have been lectured by your party about toxic masculinity for years. Even examples of chivalry, whether it was opening a door. Is this really, you know, a sign of some kind of -- of male patronage, patriarchal action? And then you get the very apex of toxic masculinity, Nazism, physical abuse, mental abuse, recklessness, drunkenness, and suddenly, the rhetoric dissolves, and it's more ohhh, about this rugged man struggling through a dark period, as if giving his bad behavior a chapter heading kind of makes it less repugnant. How long is this dark period, Jessica? But I know it doesn't matter, we're not voting. It's not up for us to say. I just have a question. Is he a toxic male or not? Is he a toxic male?  TARLOV: I find him to be toxic. GUTFELD: Okay, good, that's good. Then you should -- then you shoud judge it and say, I think it's disgusting. TARLOV: I did say it. Did you not hear what I said for three minutes? GUTFELD: I heard it buried in a lot of whataboutisms. (....) GUTFELD: This is an insult to all men. They prop this guy up as "one of us," a grizzled everyman, Jesse, a noble warrior. This was their version of a dude just like Swalwell. Oh, if I only knew about Swalwell then that I knew about now, I wouldn't have voted for him. Well, now here's your chance, and you're still supporting him, okay? Tim Walz, Hasan Piker, these were your men. Any guy -- any real guy...would avoid this guy at a bar. He gives you the creep vibes the way Swalwell did. As usual, Gutfeld exposed Tarlov's left-wing nonsense for what it is.
