The liberal broadcast and cable news networks have attacked the widespread skepticism about the slow-moving reversal in the Los Angeles mayoral election results as Trump and the Republicans spreading “baseless conspiracy theories.” California's unique way of taking a month to count votes was touted as careful, not manipulative.  We’ve seen independent candidate Spencer Pratt go from up ten points for Slot Two on Election Night behind incumbent mayor Karen Bass to falling behind to radical socialist Nithya Raman. MRC Senior Research Analyst Bill D'Agostino and MRC Video Managing Editor Brittany Hughes joined the show to discuss this notion that every conservative suspicion of blue-state vote-counting has "no evidence," suggesting that "election denial" is something that only Republicans do. Liberals spent Trump's first term arguing he was illegitimately elected in a Russian plot, and have now denied Trump actually won in 2024, and that he's going to steal the midterms in 2026. Those apparently aren't "baseless conspiracy theories." From there we discussed the attempted beheading of a man in Belfast, Ireland. American networks hate stories of "migrants of color" committing crimes against innocent white people. They feel like that entire narrative is too MAGA. The latest crime story comes from Northern Ireland, where Sudanese migrant Hadi Alodid, 30, was ordered held in jail after appearing in court in Belfast, where a detective said he blinded Stephen Ogilvie in the left eye during a knife attack This became a story here (at least on NBC and PBS) when locals erupted in riots over the crime, setting fire to migrant housing. Hilary Benn, the Labour Party's secretary for Northern Ireland, condemned the rioting as "racist thuggery," but that term best applies to Alodid's stabbing attack.  Benn also objected in the House of Commons when M.P. Jim Allister asked “what will be done to stop the importation of an alien culture that thinks it is appropriate to try to behead someone within the United Kingdom"? You can't blame an "alien culture" for migrant crime. That's apparently racist. In the conservative magazine The Spectator, commentator Brendan O'Neill argued: To the modern left there is no greater thoughtcrime than to make a moral distinction between cultures. It is tantamount to heresy in their world to suggest that some cultures enjoy fewer virtues than others.” In American crime, a jury deliberated three hours and found Karmelo Anthony guilty of manslaughter in the stabbing death of fellow teenager Austin Metcalf at a high-school track meet last year. In a front-page story, Washington Post reporter Molly Hennessey-Fiske put the murder aside and obsessed about “right-wing provocateur Jake Lang” exploiting the case to spread racial divisions. Plus: a candidate for mayor there called immigrants “rats” and Islam a “terrorist group,” according to her. Then she found a black man to ask “How can they reach a verdict like this in a case like this?....Americans have shown they don’t care about black people.” How dare a killer be convicted in a killing?  Enjoy the program below, or the audio is here. 

Major news broke today regarding one of the outright horrors of the previous administration: the trafficking of children brought into the United States as unaccompanied minors. But you didn’t hear about it on any of the evening newscasts at ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS. Others stepped up, though. Watch the related segment below, as aired on NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich Tonight on Thursday, June 11th, 2026: I won(D)er why the Elitist Media evening news had absolutely no time to cover the "Super Sponsor" indictments announced today by the DoJ. Here's how they were covered on @KatiePavlichNN @KatiePavlich: Welcome back to Kate Pavlich Tonight, where we're learning more about the… pic.twitter.com/2OR35Lz41j — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) June 12, 2026 KATIE PAVLICH: Welcome back to Kate Pavlich Tonight, where we're learning more about the damage done by the Biden administration's open border policy. Specifically, the failure to protect unaccompanied children from being trafficked. Today, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche explained the horrific schemes that enabled- that were enabled by the Biden administration. Here it is. TODD BLANCHE: Criminals, calling themselves sponsors, trafficked these children's the border usually committing fraud to do so. And oftentimes, the children were abused, assaulted and certainly exploited. In some cases, individuals would sponsor multiple children which require them to lie to government personnel and on government forms claiming they were close relatives when in fact, they were not. They would use fake or stolen identities. And make other false claims during the application process in order to obtain custody of the children. PAVLICH: This is going on as Biden insisted, insisted that his border policy was compassionate while losing track of hundreds of thousands of children. Joining us now with more on this is NewsNation’s Senior Border Correspondent Ali Bradley. Ali, what can you tell us? ALI BRADLEY: Yeah, hey, Katie. So federal investigators right now are tracking thousands of suspected “super sponsors” as the Trump administration is working to locate hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children who were released into the United States under the previous administration. Now the Department of Homeland Security is saying that nearly 146,000 unaccompanied minors have been located since President Trump took office. And officials say those children are part of roughly 450,000 unaccompanied minors who are smuggled across the southern border between 2021 and 2024.  Now DHS says nearly 300,000 children still remain unaccounted for. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says DHS, ICE, and the Department of Health and Human Services are working together to track down the remaining minors and identify those responsible for trafficking them into the country. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says many of the children were exploited by criminal networks working with Mexican cartels. He announced charges against 3 Guatemalan nationals living in Ohio accused of acting as so-called “super sponsors” allegedly tied to multiple cases of migrant children being smuggled into the U.S. using fraudulent documents and false claims of family relationships.  The Justice Department says it's now investigating more than 15,500 “super sponsor" cases where individuals sponsored at least 3 unaccompanied migrant children. Secretary Mullin sharply criticized the Biden administration, accusing it of failing to properly vet sponsors and conduct follow-up welfare checks on children after their release. Now Mullin also says that DHS is investigating allegations of widespread abuse and exploitation tied to these unaccompanied minors. He says that finding the remaining children- that is a top priority, Katie. PAVLICH: Absolutely horrific but glad that they’re working on it.  The most harrowing number is the 15,500: the number of individuals that sponsored more than one child with little vetting, if any at all. And this has been a known issue for a long time. Thank God for the kids that have been recovered, but close to 300,000 still missing is simply awful. Sadly, there has been no investigative reporting on this from the Elitist Media. Their role in this matter has so far consisted of little more than sticking their collective heads in the sand and pretending there isn’t a problem. But the issue isn’t going away, especially when the HHS Secretary who oversaw this program is now the Democratic nominee for Governor of California.  Shame on ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS for looking away from a politically inconvenient story.  

Federal law enforcement is investigating the giant “8647” markings left on the grass at the National Mall. An appropriate thing to do, given the current environment of threats against President Donald Trump. But the Elitist Media’s Evening News saw fit to ignore this story, except for one network. Watch the related report in its entirety, as aired on NBC Nightly News on Thursday, June 11th, 2026: WATCH: @NBCNightlyNews is the only one of the broadcast network evening newscasts to cover the giant 8647 etched on to the grass at the National Mall: TOM LLAMAS: And ahead of America's 250th, an investigation into these mysterious markings on the grass of the National Mall.… pic.twitter.com/jcqL8FZUdF — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) June 12, 2026 TOM LLAMAS: And ahead of America's 250th, an investigation into these mysterious markings on the grass of the National Mall. Look closely. It appears to spell out “8647” in giant numbers. Those numbers have been interpreted as a protest, maybe even a threat to President Trump. Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted, you’ll remember, by the Trump Justice Department over a social media post with seashells you just saw there in the shapes of those numbers.   The mention of the Comey indictment seems obligatory, but the truth is that “8647” was a thing among the left well before the former FBI Director posted the seashell slop on his ‘gram. That number popped up at the beginning of President Trump’s current term, plastered across signs held at protests funded by communist billionaires. Given both the current environment and the fact that President Trump has been the target of at least three assassination attempts, the incident merited broad coverage.  Yes, NBC did a tiny brief- but that brief was infinitely more than what ABC and CBS coughed up. ABC had no time to spare after highlighting Dolly Parton’s branded coffee. CBS noted that a Nashville data center may be hurtful to the animals. We are reminded yet again that the Elitist Media show you more about themselves by what they DON’T cover.  

As scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner claimed victory in the Democratic Maine Senate primary, the Democratic party and media establishment quickly warmed up to their new hope to seize the Senate. On Tuesday night, CNN’s The Source host Kaitlan Collins interviewed Congressman Ro Khanna on his stance on Platner and his multitude of scandals. Fortunately, Bulldog Award Winner Shermichael Singleton was ready to push back. Khanna was of course quick to defend his potential future ally in the Senate, avoiding mention of the scandals that brought so much attention to the Maine primary and instead focused on attacking his opponent, Susan Collins: Graham Platner is running, saying, ‘I served three tours of duty and I'm opposed to these foreign wars.’ And he's also going to take on Susan Collins in terms of being- putting Kavanaugh on the court and rolling back women's rights and cutting health care. And that's why he's resonating.  Singleton set the record straight: You have this guy who's saying he's going to make a speech to make a con- or draw a contrast against himself and Susan Collins. He stands up for women. She does not, because she voted for Brett Kavanaugh. Yet we just had, not more than a week ago, very serious allegations against this very same guy who's now the defender of women?     He also pointed out the double standards Democrats have been committed to for the last few weeks: their typical moral outrage over scandals like Trump’s disintegrating the moment one of their candidates is culpable: But now that there's a political electoral opportunity to maintain their majority in the Senate, and Graham Platner could [un]seat Susan Collins, you know what? It doesn't necessarily matter, the ten-plus years of arguments we've made about morals and ethics against Trump and Republicans who empower Trump, because we can win a seat. Khanna tried to deflect from the Democrat double standard, instead attacking Trump and trying to pity Platner. Singleton quickly drew the issue back to the actual topic of discussion, emphasizing Collins’ moderate stances and reinforcing the unfairness of the Democratic hypocrisy. Khanna attacked Collins on her Supreme Court vote once again, unable to actually grapple with Singleton’s main point. KHANNA: My argument against Donald Trump was that he didn't recognize a legitimate election. My argument was that he's given tax breaks to billionaires, that he has betrayed his promise to the working class and gotten us in foreign wars. He had four criminal trials against him. So, the idea that someone who served three tours of duty had post-traumatic stress disorder and is acknowledging it - a dark chapter in his life, and his redemption, is far closer to George W. Bush's story than Donald Trump's story. I mean, he has said he was addicted to alcohol, he had an ugly chapter, and he has redeemed himself. And Americans love redemption stories. By the way, Donald Trump has never said- I haven't heard him express shame or guilt for anything. SINGLETON: But Congressman, if I could just rebut quickly. Is Graham Platner running against Donald Trump or Susan Collins? I understand PTSD, I know a lot of soldiers, you know I'm a gun guy, that's a big issue to me, and I care a lot about it. And the alcoholism, I don't take that for granted, a lot of Americans deal with that as well, and we should support those who are recovering from that issue. That said, this is a guy who's trying to draw a contrast against a woman who's been there a long time. She is, by all accounts, even by many of her colleagues on the Democratic side, a moderate, someone that they can work with, they have a- counted on her for many times in many very serious votes against her own party. And yet Democrats are making the argument that now, everything they said about Trump, about those who supported Trump, like Susan Collins, was wrong, yet somehow we should excuse them for saying that Graham Platner is okay because they could win? KHANNA: No one is questioning Susan Collins' personal character- SINGLETON: How do you maintain any moral authority when you make that justification? KHANNA: -because Harry Reid- Harry said- Reid had said, you can always count on Susan Collins when you don't need her. And the reality is Democrats are very upset that she put Kavanaugh on the court.     In this fight for the truth, voices like Shermichael Singleton are essential. As long as the media continues to deny, deceive, and deflect, we will need people like Singleton who are willing to stand up to them and fight back against the egregious bias of the media, to defend the integrity of the journalistic institutions so necessary for American democracy to continue to function. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read. CNN’s The Source With Kaitlan Collins June 10, 2026 09:09:16 Eastern (...) KAITLAN COLLINS: I mean, and congressman, you're backing Graham Platner in this race. Obviously we've seen people come out and talk about, you know, where this stands, whether or not they're still standing by Graham Platner, it's made a lot of your colleagues uncomfortable, what has come out about him. Why not you? RO KHANNA: I was up in Maine. There were huge crowds. I think the key issue today is the anti-war platform. I mean, on a day we’re retaliating against Iran, Graham Platner is running, saying, I served three tours of duty and I'm opposed to these foreign wars. And he's also going to take on Susan Collins in terms of being- putting Kavanaugh on the court and rolling back women's rights and cutting health care. And that's why he's resonating.  Now, if he's over 70 percent, and obviously it's early, I think that's going to be decisive. I mean, he's beaten a sitting governor. Granted, she suspended her campaign, but she kept playing cute, saying my name is still on the ballot. You can vote for me. For someone who has not held elective office to beat a sitting governor and be around 70 or higher, I think would be pretty decisive. COLLINS: But Jeff mentioned the margin that we'll be watching tonight. That means, you know, who does vote for Janet Mills in this race, given she suspended her campaign? If that number is significantly high, what will that tell you about how voters do feel about what they've learned about Graham Platner? KHANNA: Well, if there was a real protest vote and you had 40 percent or something, still voting for other candidates, then people- he'd have work to do. But a sitting governor who is saying, “I'm still on the ballot” is going to get some percent of the vote. And if he is anywhere near 70 or above, I think that's going to be pretty decisive, given the enthusiasm. And I think Democrats will rally around him on an anti-war platform, on someone who's going to take out Susan Collins, who put Kavanaugh on the court, and who's voted to cut health care. COLLINS: Shermichael. I mean, you heard Arlette's reporting about what he's going to say about Susan Collins. SHERMICHAEL SINGLETON: I have, I find that a bit ironic. For a long time now, Democrats have long argued that what fueled their passions against Trump was a sense of righteous indignation. They were standing up for justice. They were upholding morality that they said Trump was an affront to. And now what we all realize is that that was all a facade. You have this guy who's saying he's going to make a speech to make a con- or draw a contrast against himself and Susan Collins. He stands up for women. She does not, because she voted for Brett Kavanaugh. Yet we just had, not more than a week ago, very serious allegations against this very same guy who's now the defender of women? So to me, it seems like maybe a defender of women for my Democratic friends, when it's convenient for them. But now that there's a political electoral opportunity to maintain their majority in the Senate, and Graham Platner could [un]seat Susan Collins, you know what? It doesn't necessarily matter, the ten-plus years of arguments we've made about morals and ethics against Trump and Republicans who empower Trump, because we can win a seat. It's very Machiavellian in many ways, and to me, any argument that Democrats have framed against Trump, against Republicans is now null and void. They have revealed themselves to be nothing but hypocrites, nothing but liars. And I think as we get into the general election, you're going to see the case made by Susan Collins, made by the NRSC, that Democrats are not the people that they said that they are. Look at who they're supporting: the guy with the Nazi tattoo.  KHANNA: My argument against Donald Trump was that he didn't recognize a legitimate election. My argument was that he's given tax breaks to billionaires, that he has betrayed his promise to the working class and gotten us in foreign wars. He had four criminal trials against him. So, the idea that someone who served three tours of duty had post traumatic stress disorder and is acknowledging it - a dark chapter in his life, and his redemption, is far closer to George W. Bush's story than Donald Trump's story. I mean, he has said he was addicted to alcohol, he had an ugly chapter, and he has redeemed himself. And Americans love redemption stories. By the way, Donald Trump has never said- I haven't heard him express shame or guilt for anything. SINGLETON: But Congressman, if I could just rebut quickly. Is Graham Platner running against Donald Trump or Susan Collins? I understand PTSD, I know a lot of soldiers, you know I'm a gun guy, that's a big issue to me, and I care a lot about it. And the alcoholism, I don't take that for granted, a lot of Americans deal with that as well, and we should support those who are recovering from that issue. That said, this is a guy who's trying to draw a contrast against a woman who's been there a long time.

KHANNA: No one is questioning Susan Collins' personal character-  SINGLETON: How do you maintain any moral authority when you make that justification? KHANNA: -because Harry Reid- Harry said- Reid had said, you can always count on Susan Collins when you don't need her. And the reality is Democrats are very upset that she put Kavanaugh on the court. COLLINS: And to be fair, Susan Collins once said, she didn't trust Harry Reid when she was trying to keep her record in terms of voting.

The imminent deal ensuring Iran will never have a nuclear weapon was “the whole purpose” of the war, President Donald Trump explained Thursday at a press briefing announcing that a peace agreement will likely be officially signed in the next few days. “Just had a big day,” Pres. Trump told reporters, noting that the deal is “subject to finalization of documents” at a signing ceremony expected to take place in Europe, perhaps over the upcoming weekend. The signing will immediately trigger the end to the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the president said: “The strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon, very soon, maybe, over the weekend, in Europe. I won’t be able to be there, but J.D. will be there, the vice president, and some other people.” “And, most importantly, we have a deal that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon – which was the whole purpose of what we had to go through to get this. That was a very big thing,” Pres. Trump stressed. Even if the deal isn’t signed this weekend, it “should be done pretty quickly,” because “They want it every bit as much as everybody else wants it,” Trump said. What’s more, as soon as the agreement is signed, the price of oil will begin to fall significantly, which will help lower the costs of other products, the president said: “Oil will start coming down. And, when oil comes down, everything else comes down.” Earlier in the day, in a post on X.com, Pres. Trump reported that he had cancelled the military strikes on Iran in anticipation of the peace deal: “Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized — Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.”
