Executive Editor Tim Graham and I welcome Daily Wire’s Isabel Brown to discuss how she managed to unintentionally trigger the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View into an absolute meltdown by encouraging women to get married and have kids during a CPAC panel. Brown dismantles The View co-hosts and calls out their hypocrisy since most were happily married, and most had kids of their own. Following a CPAC panel late last month, conservative activist and podcaster Isabel Brown drew the ire of the ABC News program for saying this to encourage and inspire women: If you're not encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids, more kids than they can afford before they think they're ready, it is high time to start. It is these choices like deleting our dating apps and quitting birth control pills and saying I do at the altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see save our country. After we congratulate Brown for upsetting their liberal sensibilities and getting a bump in new listeners, we rip into their ghoulish takes. Co-host Sara Haines played footsie with eugenics, arguing that the world was overpopulated. Brown broke down the numbers and showed that many countries, including the U.S. were seeing dangerous signs of a shirking population. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg cried racism. Guest co-host Whitney Cummings attacked Brown’s marriage and suggested her husband was abusive. Fake Republican Ana Navarro launched into an ad hominem attack, suggesting Brown was trying to control her uterus. Brown told us that while they’ll bravely say all these things about her among themselves, they were cowardly refusing to have her their program to defend herself. They apparently told her they were all booked up for weeks. But they lied to her. As NewsBusters’ resident View watcher, I have the numbers and soundbites to prove they refuse to have on serious conservative guests who would run circles around them. I also note they actually had a free day they could invite her. To hear from The View’s current hate target, link the play button below. Enjoy!

Apple News is guilty of more than just suppressing right-leaning news. It ran more headlines from left-leaning outlets in March than any of the other Big Four News Apps, solidifying its place as the most radically left of them all. MRC made this major discovery by analyzing Apple News's top 20 daily stories each morning throughout March and using the independent media firm AllSides to evaluate each outlet's bias. Apple News promoted more left-leaning stories than Google News, Microsoft’s MSN and Yahoo News in March. MRC’s Findings: Apple News selected articles from left-leaning media outlets for 434 out of 592 total AllSides-rated stories in the top 20 of its morning editions throughout March. In contrast, Yahoo News featured 400 AllSides-rated left-leaning stories; Google News featured 382; Microsoft’s MSN featured 226. Apple News continued to suppress stories from right-leaning outlets, featuring only five articles in March, down from eight in February. In response to the findings, Dan Schneider, Vice President of MRC Free Speech America, said that Apple News's radicalism is intentional. “Apple News just took the crown from Yahoo as the most radical news app, even after the FTC delivered an official warning to the company,” Schneider warned. “I think Tim Cook is sending a clear message to President Trump and to Chairman Ferguson: Apple is far more interested in pushing radicalism than in providing Americans with balanced news. Our nation cannot survive if most voters are being fed propaganda and leftist myths.” Apple News Featured More Articles from Left-Leaning Outlets in March than Its Competitors Apple News promoted a total of 592 articles from outlets with AllSides ratings in the mornings throughout March. Of the articles promoted, 434 were from left-leaning outlets — far more than its competitors during the same period.  Yahoo News, which MRC had identified as the most radical of the Big Four News Apps, promoted 400 headlines from left-leaning outlets. Google News ran 318 left-leaning stories amongst its top daily morning headlines, and Microsoft’s MSN featured a total of 226 left-leaning stories. Some of the more radically left-leaning outlets that Apple News leaned on for its top daily headlines included New York Magazine, The Associated Press, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The New Yorker and Vox. Other outlets were The Washington Post, NPR and USA Today. Notably, Apple News promoted negative and misleading headlines, using fear-driven and sensational framing throughout. Among those headlines were: “ICE surged in Minnesota to arrest criminals. Many of them were already in jail,” by The Minnesota Star Tribune. “Canceled contracts, a failed polygraph and personal disputes: Inside the turbulent tenure of Noem’s former cyber czar,” by Politico. “‘America Doesn’t Want My Children or Grandchildren,’” by The Atlantic. “Asylum approvals plummet as fearful immigrants skip hearings,” by The Los Angeles Times. “Teenager becomes youngest person to die in ICE detention in Trump’s second term,” by The Guardian. “The biggest change to voting in Republican election bill could become a burden for many US voters,” by The Associated Press.  “The world’s deadliest infectious disease is on the rise in the US,” by Vox. “What happened when Kansas tried a version of Trump's SAVE Act? Chaos,” by USA Today. Apple News Only Got Worse from February to March Following MRC’s reporting on Apple News’s heavy leftist bias, Apple barely moved the needle in response to an FTC letter that put the company on notice that its terms and conditions would be scrutinized to ensure it was not making misleading claims about its product.  In February, Apple News ran a total of eight right-leaning stories, amounting to a very modest increase over several months of zero such stories. Meanwhile, Apple has since gotten worse, excluding and censoring every right-leaning outlet in the country, except for five right-leaning stories from Fox News.  The tiny fraction of articles from right-leaning outlets promoted by Apple News was the lowest of all the Big Four News Apps in March. Google ran 12 right-leaning stories in March, while Microsoft’s MSN ran 58. Yahoo News, for its part, ran a total of 70 articles from right-leaning outlets.  "Apple News did more than just double down on its leftist bias in March,” said MRC Free Speech America Director Michael Morris. “The app’s poor showing in February, promoting only 2% right-leaning outlets, versus a reduction to less than 1% from right-leaning outlets in March, highlights Apple’s blatant ideological bias. Despite FTC scrutiny and MRC's exposure, it’s the worst among the Big Four News Apps. Americans deserve a fairer news distributor." Apple News’s imbalance favoring the left matters. According to the Pew Research Center, 86% of Americans turn to their digital devices for news “at least sometimes.” With Apple News coming preinstalled on every iPhone, a considerable number of users are exposed to its leftist bias by default. Methodology: During the time period Mar. 1 - 31, 2026, MRC researchers examined the top 20 stories featured on Apple News each day at approximately 8:30 AM ET. MRC researchers used the AllSides media bias ratings, which categorize an outlet as “left,” “lean left,” “center,” “lean right” or “right” to determine the overall bias presented by Apple News and analyzed the results.  Free speech is under attack!

The "comedy" writers at NBC's Saturday Night Live have a raging hatred of President Trump. In the fake-news "Weekend Update" segment, fake anchor Michael Che made a joke about Trump being assassinated at the theater like Abraham Lincoln. The president's been shot once and they caught a second attempted assassination before it could happen. None of that curbs the "comedy." Che first made an Antichrist joke: President Trump posted plans for his presidential library in Miami, which would be a massive golden skyscraper would be a golden escalator and a golden statue of Trump, as predicted in the book of Revelations [sic]. President Trump attended the opening night of Chicago at the Kennedy Center, and I think that’s cool that the President is going to the theater. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? 'SNL' fake-news anchor Michael Che joked about Trump seeing 'Chicago' at the Kennedy Center, makes a Lincoln-assassination joke.

Nobody you can hear in this joke sounds like a decent human being.  Earlier in the segment, fake anchor Colin Jost also scraped the bottom of the barrel by suggesting Trump might be behind Jeffrey Epstein being killed in prison.  This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked to redact herself from her job. President Trump reportedly fired Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files, because the only person Trump has ever trusted to handle the Epstein situation is a prison guard with the cameras off. Colin Jost pegs Trump as a killer: "This week...Pam Bondi was asked to redact herself from her job.

He also threw in a joke at the vice president's expense. "J.D. Vance is releasing a book about his conversion to Catholicism. The Catholic Church is calling it, 'somehow the worst publicity we've ever had!'" Hunter Biden's memoir never drew a joke like this. They didn't joke about him walking out of a Catholic Church with his Dad. That would apparently be mean. 'SNL' fake-news anchor Colin Jost: "J.D.

Instead, it was a running joke about Charles Barkley's anti-deportation speech during the Final Four basketball coverage. Kenan Thompson's Fake Barkley did work in Pam Bondi: "As attorney general, Pam Bondi was, and I don't say this often, turrible! It is a shame when somebody gets fired, but we should all be glad that that freckle-chested dragon lady is gone. [Cheers and applause ] Yeah. And not to mention Kristi Noem, whose husband looks like he's starring in Big Momma House IV." They made a joke about the FCC chairman requiring equal time, so the Pam Bondi impersonator appeared for self-defense: "The truth is I am amazing at my job. I made history as the first woman ever to be fired as Attorney General. [ Laughter ] I shattered that glass exit door."

The thing about watching coverage and analysis of the ongoing Iran operation is that you think it can’t possibly get stupider. And yet, each day’s stupidity is surpassed by that of the next. We are now at the phase of discussing Iran’s memes, a discussion that CNN’s Scott Jennings rightly mocked. Watch as Jennings clowns Obama White House official Nayyera Haq for hailing memes as an Iranian asymmetric ability comparable with the Shahed drone: WATCH @scottjenningsKY clowns Obama WH official Nayyera Haq for suggesting Iran's memes are a capability on par with the Shahed drone.

One is using cheap drones, which is -- they have been providing those to Russia to use in Ukraine. So they have lots of experiments with that. And the second is the meme war and Internet propaganda, which is something actually the Iranians have been known for and influencing. And so they had -- for all of our talk on our side of all the people killed in the regime, they have been pushing out through multiple channels around the world, images of the American army generals and military people who have also lost their jobs at this time. So, again, the way this looks out in the public is not a United States that is locked and loaded and working in one direction. SCOTT JENNINGS: Do you think that the Iranians would rather have their entire navy back or their memes? HAQ: Oh, I think the -- I think that, no, when we're talking a ... JENNINGS: I mean, come on. We have destroyed 13,000 military partners. And they have memes. (CROSSTALK) HAQ: This is a- just big distinction, is that we're fighting the war on their land. So they have a say. If they survive, that's a win for them. That's it. So their stakes are so much higher, but they have to do so much less to be able to maintain some kind of credibility. Second -- that's the Iranian regime I'm talking about. The people of Iran, even back to George Bush, have suffered. They have always had sanctions on them. They just want some relief. And President Trump started this whole thing by saying, this is your time. Now you can come and take over your government. And now they're losing electricity. They're losing civilian bridges. They're losing clean water. I mean, this is -- this is nobody, United States or the regime, is helping the people of Iran. This segment falls under what I’ve described as an ongoing campaign to discredit the Iran operation before the American public. There is no other rational way to explain the barrage of negative coverage against an operation barely a month in against a 47-year enemy. This is where the hailing of Iran’s meme operation and Scott’s mockery thereof come into play. It is a fact that the United States has hit over 13,000 targets. Hard targets. The Shahed drone is certainly a capability but to suggest that memes are somehow on par with that, even the regime’s Lego memes, is not rooted in reality. Jennings was right to make fun of that take, and compare the Khomeinist regime’s memes to their flattened navy and air force- particularly on a day where it is known that the United States went into Iran, built a covert air base, and cooked a bunch of IRGC and Basij before exfiltrating our downed pilots. Today’s cycle was certainly idiotic. But with the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump’s deadline still pending, there is the certainty of tomorrow.  

For a segment ostensibly about the (eventually successful) search-and-rescue mission for an airman downed over Iran, Friday’s PBS News Hour platformed a source who less than two weeks ago went on a radical radio show to accuse Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of enabling war crimes in Iran -- and who also snuck in his radical anti-war points into his News Hour discussion about the rescue. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz: For insight on what it takes to conduct a search-and-rescue operation for a downed combat aircrew, we turn to retired Master Sergeant Wes Bryant. He spent his career in Air Force special operations and participated in these kinds of missions….walk us through what would be happening right now in a search-and-rescue mission. What are they trying to do to locate and rescue this second crew member? Bryant spoke a bit of the tactics employed, before pivoting to criticism of the war itself, including its very legality. PBS @NewsHour brings on an expert, Wes Bryant, who hates Hegseth, denounces how he said the USA has air superiority in Iran "in a propaganda-like manner," but "Iran still has sophisticated air defense capabilities. They have to be sophisticated in order to bring down something… pic.twitter.com/y4TkWoYGIY — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) April 5, 2026 Master Sgt. Wes Bryant (Ret.), U.S. Air Force: …. What we have seen here is clearly the collapse of what we call air superiority. The Trump administration, Hegseth himself, military leadership has almost, kind of in a propaganda-like manner -- not almost, but in a propaganda-like manner, told the world and the American people how much we have won in Iran, we have established dominance, we have established air superiority, there's no air defenses, there's no air force. That's never the case in any combat environment…. Later, Bryant again twisted a question to his liking. Nawaz: We see the Iranians, of course, offering a reward for the capture of this U.S. airmen. If that ends up happening, if the service member ends up in the custody of Iranians or in the Iranian regime, what would that change? What does that mean for the landscape moving forward? Bryant: Well, the Trump administration here, Hegseth himself, really our senior military leadership, have presented it really an utter failure to foresee the implications of this war. I mean, it's an illegal war. They have not foreseen the impact to regional partners here, the global instability, the regional instability, the energy crisis itself….  pic.twitter.com/1i36zLHVjI— Clay Waters (@claywaters44) April 5, 2026 The host once again let her guest's anti-war ranting go unchallenged. Nawaz went on to praise “Iran's existing capabilities. They were able to shoot down an F-15. It looks like also that A-10 Warthog. They shot at a Black Hawk helicopter that was able to return safely to base.” As a previous News Hour guest in April 2024, Bryant blamed Israeli Defense Forces for an accidental strike on an aid convoy in Gaza: “….this strike is just an effect or a demonstration of a broader problem. And that's a pattern of targeting negligence, a pattern of indifference towards civilian harm, and a pattern of disregard toward international humanitarian law that the IDF has….” During a recent interview with the radical Pacifica Radio host Amy Goodman on her show Democracy Now!, he referred to “my colleagues at Airwars,” a U.K. “civilian harm” watchdog partially funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, before spouting about Hegseth directing "war crimes," not once, not twice, but four times. PBS made no mention of the Airwars affiliation. DEMOCRACY NOW! HOST AMY GOODMAN: Talk about Pete Hegseth, who he is, his policies right now, talking about not having to be politically correct, which seems to be code for what? Committing war crimes? WES BRYANT: Absolutely. Pete Hegseth has already directed the committing of war crimes. And unfortunately, our senior military leadership is bending the knee and carrying out whatever he tells them to do. And he expresses intent to commit even more war crimes, along with Trump himself, you know, talking about doing strikes on infrastructure just for the fun of it, talking about shutting down all of the power grid across Iran and then decimating Iran so that it can’t rebuild for generations — clear intent for war crimes. You know, Hegseth talking about giving no quarter to the enemy, a war crime. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 4/3/26 7:07:36 p.m. (ET) AMNA NAWAZ: For insight on what it takes to conduct a search-and-rescue operation for a downed combat aircrew, we turn to retired Master Sergeant Wes Bryant. He spent his career in Air Force special operations and participated in these kinds of missions. Welcome back to the "News Hour," Wes. Can you just tell us, based on what we know at this hour, walk us through what would be happening right now in a search-and-rescue mission. What are they trying to do to locate and rescue this second crew member? MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.), U.S. Air Force: Well, it`s twofold here. Obviously, it`s using -- prioritizing all assets available. That`s not just all air assets, but all intelligence assets, and anything we have potentially on the ground, Iranian sources, for example, people that are pro-U.S. causes here, to locate this downed F-15 aircrew member. And then, secondarily, it`s ensuring that we have protection of air assets that are going to push into Iran. What we have seen here is clearly the collapse of what we call air superiority. The Trump administration, Hegseth himself, military leadership has almost, kind of in a propaganda-like manner -- not almost, but in a propaganda-like manner, told the world and the American people how much we have won in Iran, we have established dominance, we have established air superiority, there`s no air defenses, there`s no air force.   That`s never the case in any combat environment. And as we can see here, Iran still has sophisticated air defense capabilities. They have to be sophisticated in order to bring down something like an F-15. So that`s twofold. AMNA NAWAZ: Yes. MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.): That`s securing the pilot`s location on the ground, and then ensuring that the assets that are going to be sent in to get that aircrew member will be safe when they get sent in. And that`s a difficult task at this point... AMNA NAWAZ: Let me ask you... MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.): ... because things are -- as we have been told... AMNA NAWAZ: Let me ask you, if I may, about the specifics in this case with this war in Iran, because there are examples of rescue missions for U.S. service members behind enemy lines in other nations, right, Afghanistan more recently, earlier than that, Vietnam, Korea. Of course, everyone remembers the infamous Black Hawk Down mission in Somalia in the early `90s. What are the challenges here that are different from those previous episodes? MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.): Well, we have really no ground forces to speak of, no partner force of any substantial nature that can push in and what we say cordon and secure an area. In many of those cases, we had at least some kind of aligned partner forces that could help in these situations. And then, of course, there`s this -- there`s a shock factor for the U.S. military, frankly, where we don`t have the superiority from an air platform standpoint that we apparently believed we did. So now getting forces in, getting those ground components in, which are going to be a lot more at risk in low-flying helicopters, those can be shot down with rocket-propelled grenades, for example, even rifles at times. So you don`t need sophisticated air defense assets to shoot these troop carriers down. So getting those forces in is going to be far more risk and far more difficult to plan here. AMNA NAWAZ: We see the Iranians, of course, offering a reward for the capture of this U.S. airmen. If that ends up happening, if the service member ends up in the custody of Iranians or in the Iranian regime, what would that change? What does that mean for the landscape moving forward? MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.): Well, the Trump administration here, Hegseth himself, really our senior military leadership, have presented it really an utter failure to foresee the implications of this war. I mean, it`s an illegal war. They have not foreseen the impact to regional partners here, the global instability, the regional instability, the energy crisis itself. That`s one problem of many, and then, most importantly, the incredible risk, the undue risk to U.S. forces here. And so I would hope that Iran wants to keep this aircrew member safe, for sake of ethics and morality and adhering to Geneva Conventions. My guess would be that they want the leverage. And that will be incredible leverage, because the U.S., for better or for worse, we have a very low tolerance for U.S. casualties, and especially for U.S. prisoners of war in the hands of a regime like the Iranian regime. That`s going to be a whole lot of leverage against the Trump administration, unfortunately. And the most important part here is that we get our airman back safe and sound. AMNA NAWAZ: In the minute or so I have left, you mentioned how this is a bit of a revelation in terms of what it shows us about Iran`s existing capabilities. They were able to shoot down an F-15. It looks like also that A-10 Warthog. They shot at a Black Hawk helicopter that was able to return safely to base. Does all of this and could all of this change the U.S. war effort moving forward, how operations are planned and carried out? MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.): You know, I certainly hope so. It absolutely should. There should be a pause to operations. Typically, with downed aircraft, down crew members, there will be a pause sometimes theater-wide, and all assets, all priorities are put to that recovery effort. But there should also be a pause and a reassessment of what we call risk to the force, to U.S. forces versus risk to the mission. Continue -- we have -- the U.S. has bombed so many targets in the last few weeks. Making the decision to just continue forward and continue a strike campaign with a risk that we haven`t properly assessed yet to our own forces would be, frankly, just incredibly irresponsible at this point. So I hope there is a halt and a reassessment strategically and operationally here. AMNA NAWAZ: That is Retired Master Sergeant Wes Bryant joining us tonight. Thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it. MASTER SGT. WES BRYANT (RET.): Thank you.
