    The gloves are off…

    Kash Patel’s legal team threatened Wednesday to sue a former aide to Mike Pence who claimed he was unfit to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    Over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump announced Patel would replace current FBI Director Christopher Wray for his incoming administration.

    “Today, Kash Patel sent a letter to my counsel @MarkSZaidEsq – threatening legal action & demanding that I retract my comments on MSNBC about his unfitness to serve as FBI Director,” Troye wrote on X. “This aligns with his threats against the media & political opponents, revealing how he might conduct himself if confirmed in the role.”

    She added, “I stand by my statements—my priority remains the safety & security of the American people. I am not the only one who has expressed concerns about him. So why me? And so it begins.”

    On Monday, Troye claimed during an MSNBC interview that Patel would “lie about intelligence” while serving in the Department of Defense during Trump’s first term. A lawyer representing Patel told Troye her comments were “defamatory” and demanded she retract them via a public statement on X “within five business days of receipt of this letter.”

    “Unless this step is taken, Mr. Patel will take swift legal action to uphold his rights and reputation,” wrote Patel’s attorney Jesse Binnall.

    Joe Rogan Makes Hilarious Offer Amid MSNBC Turmoil

    A much-needed ratings boost…

    The world’s most popular podcast host Joe Rogan hinted at joining forces with the world’s richest man to reinvent flailing MSNBC if it’s sold off by its parent company.

    X owner Elon Musk joked this week he may buy the liberal news network and “The Joe Rogan Experience” host Joe Rogan offered to replace MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow. He even offered to adopt her signature style.

    “If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachel Maddow’s job. I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies,” Rogan wrote on Friday in response to a post by Musk.

    On Wednesday, parent company Comcast officially announced it would spin off several NBCUniversal cable networks, including MSNBC, in a move that will dramatically shake up the landscape of legacy media as the liberal cable outlet will no longer be affiliated with NBC News.

    The billionaire captioned the post with his own statement, writing, “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” having fun with the idea of buying the liberal outlet and converting it to a conservative news outlet.

    Rogan commented on Musk’s new post with his offer to replace Maddow on the new MSNBC. The X owner replied, “Deal.”

    The MSNBC host, whose show “The Rachel Maddow Show” airs on the network on Mondays, recently signed a new contract to stay with the company for the foreseeable future. This comes as the network’s ratings have plummeted – including ratings for her show – especially since President-elect Donald Trump won earlier this month. (RELATED:

    Musk teased the idea even more on Sunday morning, posting a meme depicting him trying to fight the temptation of buying MSNBC. 

    Watch: Kamala Harris Asked About Pardoning Donald Trump

    MSNBC host and NBC News senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson repeatedly asked Vice President Kamala Harris if she would consider pardoning former President Donald Trump if he is found guilty — the VP’s face said as much as or more than what she was willing to say outright.

    Vice President Harris sat for a one-on-one interview with Jackson on Tuesday night’s edition of NBC Nightly News, during which Harris tried to parry the pardon question by resisting “hypotheticals” — then shot the question down a second time.

    JACKSON: If you win, it is entirely possible that the federal court cases against the former president will continue on. He is, of course, facing those felony charges. Would you consider if you win and he’s convicted, a pardon for former President Trump?

    HARRIS: I’m not going to get into those hypotheticals. I’m focused on the next 14 days.

    JACKSON: But do you believe, is there any part of you that subscribes to the argument that has been made in the past that a pardon could help bring America together, could help you unify the country and move them, move on.

    HARRIS: Let me tell you what’s going to help us move on. I get elected President of the United States.

    JACKSON: One of the things you talked about is having a Republican in your camp- in your cabinet, potentially.

    HARRIS: Yes.

    JACKSON: You spent a lot of time on the campaign trail with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, as you referenced, is she somebody who, is she somebody who would consider putting in the cabinet? Have you talked with her about this topic?

    HARRIS: I’ll keep you posted.

    President Trump is the only one who stood up for working families, and the DC elite want him destroyed. Kamala is raising over $1 Billion to crush his campaign. Will you chip in $3 before the day ends? — JD Vance

    GOP Congressman Threatens Tucker Carlson

    Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) threatened former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during a Monday interview, saying if he ever met the pundit, he would “f‑‑‑ing kill” him.

    Speaking to British journalist Steven Edginton from GB News, Crenshaw slammed Carlson for his opposition to sending funds to Ukraine.

    Earlier in the interview, Edginton had asked Crenshaw about the argument that money being spent on Ukraine could be spent on other things.

    “Just coming back to this $100 billion to Ukraine, I know that people like Tucker Carlson will make the argument that there’s a real opportunity cost there, we could have spent that money on the border or fixing issues in America,” Edginton said in the interview clip. “What do you make of that argument?”

    Crenshaw replied that “you can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.”

    “We spent 75-80 percent of our budget on a welfare state in America, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. I would love to ask Tucker what he thinks that $100 billion should be spent on and if he would vote on it as a conservative,” Crenshaw said. “Tucker doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

    “Have you ever met Tucker?” Edginton asked after the interview ended.

    “We’ve talked a lot on Twitter,” Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who has a history of trading online insults with Carlson, said. “If I ever meet him, I’ll f‑‑‑ing kill him.”

    “He’s the worst,” the Texas lawmaker added.

    In his post on X, Edginton noted that Crenshaw said he would kill Carlson, adding: “I laughed it off. He said: ‘No seriously, I would kill him.’”

    The congressman later implied he was joking while replying to outrage from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

    Crenshaw’s reply was met with an X Community Note that read, “Dan Crenshaw did threaten Tucker Carlson’s life. His comment was caught on ‘hot mic’ A/V recording.

    Carlson replied to the lawmaker in a Monday post and invited him to sit for an interview.

    “Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do?” Carlson said. “I’ll send you my address, @DanCrenshawTX.”

    Trump Nominees Hit With Social Media Gag Order

    Social media is going dark…

    Trump Administration nominees have reportedly been instructed by incoming White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to cease social media activity until confirmation hearings.

    “While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself,” Wiles wrote in a Sunday memo obtained by the New York Post.

    “Accordingly, all intended nominees should refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel,” she added.

    Wiles also wrote in a more upbeat tone that she appreciates “how enthusiastic everyone is” about joining the second Trump term.

    Senate confirmation hearings are slated to start next week after the new Congress is sworn in.

    The Republicans will hold a 53 to 47 majority over the Democrats.

    A review of the X accounts for those who are expected to be Trump’s more controversial nominees — such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the secretary of Health and Human Services, Tulsi Gabbard for director of National Intelligence, and Pete Hegseth for secretary of Defense — showed they appear to be heeding the order.

    The order comes after a debate on H-1B visas got heated on social media between Elon Musk and several in Trump’s orbit, including former adviser Steve Bannon.

    Bannon was among those to take a side on the visas this week when he scorched Musk as a “toddler” amid the legal immigration GOP civil war.

    “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump told the Post of the H-1B program that doles out jobs for skilled foreign workers.

    Trump added, “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.”

    NBC Airs Free Trump Ad After Kamala Attempts To Skirt FCC Rule

    NBC aired a Donald Trump ad free of charge on Sunday to follow FCC rules after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on Saturday Night Live.

    Harris made a surprise appearance on the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live. For approximately 90 seconds, Harris performed in a sketch with Maya Rudolph — who’s played Harris in a number of previous sketches — in the show’s cold open.

    In response to the sketch, Republican FCC commissioner Brendan Carr accused NBC of trying to “evade” the FCC’s Equal Time rule. The rule requires networks to offer equal screen time to presidential candidates.

    “This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule. The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct — a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns,” Carr pointed out.

    He went on to note that the issue had arisen in 2016 when Trump appeared on the same show, and that former President Barack Obama’s FCC chair had stated that the “Equal Time” provision would be enforced.

    “In the 2016 cycle, President Obama’s FCC Chair made clear that the agency would enforce the Equal Time rule when candidate Trump went on SNL. NBC stations publicly filed Equal Opportunity notices to ensure that all other qualifying candidates could obtain Equal Time if they sought it. Stations did the same thing when Clinton appeared on SNL,” he explained.

    Carr then explained that, with only three days — and zero “SNL” broadcasts remaining — before the election, NBC had “effectively structured” Harris’ appearance to make it impossible for the network to offer Trump anything even remotely comparable.

    “What comparable time and placement can they offer all other qualifying candidates?” he asked.

    In response to Harris’s 90-second SNL appearance, the 60-second Trump ad was aired twice on Sunday — first after a NASCAR race and again after Sunday Night Football. In the unorthodox ad, Trump simply stood in front of the camera and addressed “sports fans” by urging them to vote in the upcoming election.

    “Hello to our great sports fans, and I hope you’re having a fantastic time,” Trump said. “We’re two days away from the most important election in the history of our country. We’ve got to save our country, and it needs saving. It’s in very bad shape. The worst economic numbers in generations were just announced two days ago. We’re losing jobs. We’re losing everything — including viability. We’re gonna end up in a depression based on what’s been happening. We’ve never seen anything like it, at least for the last 40 years. We have to straighten out our country; we have to close our borders; we have to lower our taxes; we have to get rid of inflation; and we’re going to do it. Just remember Kamala and her friends broke it. I’ll fix it. Most important election in the history of our country. Go and vote.”

    A source confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the ads were run to comply with FCC rules.

    Trump Assassination Attempt 911 Calls Released

    Months after a 20-year-old gunman attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Butler County officials have released 911 calls from that day.

    One redacted call came from the wife of a 74-year-old shooting victim from Moon Township, telling police her husband was shot at the rally, but she does not know what hospital he was transported to. James Copenhaver, a 74-year-old man from Moon Township, was shot and critically wounded at the rally.

    “Paramedics serviced him. I called Butler Hospital. He’s not there. They told me to call 911,” the woman can be heard telling a dispatcher.

    The dispatcher tells her to stay on the line and not hang up.

    “I won’t,” she says.

    Other 911 calls released by Butler County give more insight into the moment gunman Thomas Crooks fired approximately eight times, nicking Trump in the ear, killing Corey Comperatore, and injuring Copenhaver and another man named David Dutch.

    “We’re at the Butler Farm Show. We need assistance now,” says another.

    “We’re at the Trump assembly, and there’s a guy shooting,” another caller can be heard telling dispatchers.

    Listen to the chilling audio below:

    The calls reveal a chaotic scene after shots rang out at the rally, with attendees unaware whether the shooter was an active threat to those attending the event.

    Investigation revealed that Crooks had accessed the roof of a nearby building by climbing HVAC equipment and piping on the side of the building, which was outside the official perimeters of the rally but less than 200 yards from where Trump was speaking on stage.

    A local officer with Butler County identified where the shots were coming from, located the shooter, and fired one round at Crooks with his rifle, “which caused the shooter to recoil and briefly fall out of sight,” Adams Township Police Department Sgt. Edward Lenz testified in September.

    A Secret Service counter sniper then fired the fatal shot that neutralized Crooks on the roof of the AGR building, where he was perched with a direct line of sight to Trump.

    Trump Rejects ’60 Minutes’ Interview, Says CBS Owes Him ‘An Apology’

    Former President Donald Trump will not sit down for an interview with “60 Minutes” next week.

    The Republican presidential nominee said that CBS News still owes him an apology over a “60 Minutes” interview in 2020 that Trump says was conducted unfairly.

    CBS said on Tuesday that Trump backed out of the interview after initially agreeing to it, but Trump campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung shot back at the network, saying, “60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in.”

    “They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented,” Cheung added.

    Trump addressed the “60 Minutes” interview request during a press conference in Milwaukee on Tuesday and said he “would love to do ’60 Minutes,’” but he’s waiting for an apology.

    In October 2020, Trump walked out of an interview with Leslie Stahl after Stahl fact-checked Trump numerous times and denied that Joe Biden was in the middle of a scandal stemming from Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contained information about the Biden family’s alleged foreign business dealings.

    “Well, right now, they came to me and would like me to do an interview, but first I want to get an apology, because the last time I did an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me on the computer,” Trump said. “They said the ‘laptop from hell’ was from Russia, and I said it wasn’t from Russia.”

    “If you remember Lesley Stahl, we got into a little bit of an argument on the camera, talking about that and other things. And you know, they really owed me an apology,” Trump added.

    Trump Responds To Bogus Report Musk Will Receive China Briefing

    President Donald Trump firmly denied a New York Times report that claimed Elon Musk would be briefed on a potential war with China.

    After two unnamed U.S. officials told the New York Times that Musk was scheduled to be briefed by the Pentagon on “the U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China,” Trump responded to the claim in an evening Truth Social post.

    “The Fake News is at it again, this time the Failing New York Times,” wrote Trump. “They said, incorrectly, that Elon Musk is going to the Pentagon tomorrow to be briefed on any potential ‘war with China.’ How ridiculous?”

    He continued, “China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How disgraceful it is that the discredited media can make up such lies. Anyway, the story is completely untrue!!!”

    According to the Times, “The top-secret briefing for the China war plan has about 20 to 30 slides that lay out how the United States would fight such a conflict. It covers the plan beginning with the indications and warning of a threat from China to various options on what Chinese targets to hit, over what time period, that would be presented to Mr. Trump for decisions, according to officials with knowledge of the plan.”

    Several Trump administration officials also took to social media to deny the report.

    Incensed Mika Brzezinski Slams Trump – Says He Endangers Women’s Lives

    MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski delivered a strong rebuke against former President Donald Trump during Thursday’s broadcast, accusing him of endangering women’s health and expressing frustration with those who question recent reports critical of Trump.

    Brzezinski argued that Trump’s actions have serious implications for women, specifically regarding reproductive health. “He is putting our reproductive health at risk, and some women have already died because of this,” Brzezinski stated, emphasizing the potential dangers she believes his policies pose. “I’m talking about us women. He’s killing us. He is making us afraid to have babies.”

    Her comments also extended to those who question the veracity of recent reporting, including a so-called “October surprise” from The Atlantic that criticize Trump. “These headlines and very good reporting, by the way, shouldn’t be questioned by idiots about what Trump has said about Hitler. That’s incredibly important to know,” she added.

    Of course, Brzezinski did not mention that Trump was the first U.S. president to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. On Dec. 6, 2017, he announced this recognition, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy. Previous presidents had avoided this move, keeping the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv to placate Palestinian opposition.

    Critics argue that Brzezinski’s diatribe implies Democrats are losing and that their only option now is to scare the public into voting for Kamala Harris.
