5:40pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his call for the “Trump administration to investigate what it suspects is a coordinated ‘national lawfare campaign’ by left-wing climate activists aimed at influencing thousands of judges on how to approach climate litigation.”

4:05pm- While speaking with Bill Maher, actor Chris Pratt said of President Donald Trump and the far-left’s over-the-top, vitriolic reactions to his administration’s policies: "I'd hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I'd have an allergic reaction to...be reasonable here. There are certain things that would be a good thing to have. I want them all to be successful."

4:15pm- Nearly a decade later, Hillary Clinton still thinks the results of the 2016 presidential election may not be legitimate—noting, it’s “why we still litigate the election.” Who the heck is still “litigating” the 2016 election (aside from her)?

4:30pm- In a post to social media, Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced she will run for Governor of Pennsylvania—challenging incumbent Josh Shapiro. But will Doug Mastriano challenge her in the Republican Primary?

4:45pm- MSNBC is changing its name to “MS NOW”—that’ll completely solve the network’s ratings problems, right?

3:40pm- President Trump said of the corporate media’s coverage of his peace efforts: “No matter what I do, [Zelenskyy] comes out good—maybe Putin comes out good. They'll say Trump was absolutely horrible. And I've lived with that for a long time."

3:45pm- While taking questions from the press, President Trump was asked if American troops would be used to guarantee/enforce any hypothetical peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

3:05pm- Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced a 30-day federal takeover of Washington D.C.’s police department—while simultaneously deploying 800 National Guard troops—to fight violent crime in the nation’s capital. At the White House press briefing, Trump announced Attorney General Pam Bondi will oversee the federal takeover—while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will provide military support “if needed.” Additionally, the administration will assign 120 F.B.I. agents to conduct nighttime patrols throughout Washington D.C. While progressive politicians have attacked the Trump Administration over the decision, even MSNBC is now conceding that there is a serious crime problem that needs to be addressed. Has President Trump forced progressives into defending crime?
