&#8220;Black-ish&#8221; star Jennifer Lewis said former President Donald Trump will put black people and other minority groups &#8220;back in camps&#8221; if he&#8217;s reelected in the 2024 election.
During the 67-year-old actress&#8217; recent appearance on the <a href="https://twitter.com/ZerlinaMornings/status/1776260785108373852" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SiriusXM</a> radio show &#8220;Mornings With Zerlina,&#8221; the ABC star went on a profanity-laced rant warning that if Trump beats President Joe Biden he will be the next Hitler.
&#8220;You f**king idiot,&#8221; Lewis said, calling out people who said they don&#8217;t believe in voting. &#8220;If that man [Trump] gets in, as soon as he takes the oath, he will have generals walk down the steps of the Capitol.&#8221;
&#8220;He will take a hammer and break the glass where the Constitution is, and he will tear it up in our faces and say, &#8216;Now I&#8217;m the king of the f**king world. You will bow down, b*tches,’&#8221; she added. &#8220;He will punish everybody that didn&#8217;t vote for him.&#8221;

The actress, who notes that she was previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder, said she knows this because she knows what &#8220;mental illness looks like&#8221; as she yelled that into the mic. 
&#8220;That mania is unstoppable,&#8221; Lewis said. &#8220;See, this motherf**ker is Hitler. He didn&#8217;t come to play.&#8221;
&#8220;That motherf**ker will have us in camps … because we sat our fat a***es on the couch. Because we were complacent and spoiled and rotten. And mad,&#8221; she added, mentioning that if &#8220;black people were coming for white people we would&#8217;ve been there b*tch.&#8221;
&#8220;Black people don&#8217;t want to fight you,&#8221; the actress continued. &#8220;All we want to do is feed our children and be equal. Honey, white people are scared. They&#8217;re becoming a minority. The world is brown. And they&#8217;re going to do everything they can to stay in those gated communities, not pay taxes, and put those n***ers in their places and get those wetbacks out of this country.

Lewis continued attacking white people and throwing out additional claims replete with descriptive, violent imagery.
&#8220;We built this country for free while you raped us in your barns,&#8221; the &#8220;Black-ish&#8221; star told the host. &#8220;While you whipped us. While you lynched us and cut babies out of our stomachs while we hung from f**king trees.  And you got something to say?&#8221;
She claimed to have seen some rich ladies sitting at the Ritz and said she knew they were Trumpers. She then screamed once again in the mic, &#8220;Be a Trumper, but stop being so f**king nasty and so violent.&#8221;
&#8220;You be what you want to be,&#8221; Lewis exclaimed. &#8220;We all God&#8217;s babies. But you all f**king up now. People fought for freedom. They fought for this country and now we turn into f**king roaches …&#8221;
She then claimed that&#8217;s &#8220;how twisted that whole group [Trump supporters] is,&#8221; adding &#8220;hate them n***ers, hate them things coming across the river down south.&#8221; Lewis labeled those involved in the &#8220;January 5th&#8221; Capitol riot as &#8220;dumb bastards filled with hate&#8221; — all while claiming that she herself was anything but.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-allen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Allen</a> definitely got everyone&#8217;s attention when he announced he&#8217;d be returning to ABC to work on a brand-new comedy pilot.
The 70-year-old actor/comedian took to <a href="https://twitter.com/ofctimallen/status/1765534612665909483?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet">X</a> on Thursday and wrote, &#8220;We are at it again! ABC just ordered a comedy pilot, &#8216;Shifting Gears.'&#8221; His post included a link to an article about the project in <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/tim-allen-abc-comedy-pilot-shifting-gears-1235932503/">Variety</a> magazine.
Allen is pegged to not only star in the multicamera comedy but also be an executive producer for the pilot with the current working title &#8220;Shifting Gears,&#8221; the outlet noted.
In the pilot, Allen plays Matt, a &#8220;stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. When Matt&#8217;s estranged daughter and her teenage kids move into his house, the real restoration begins,&#8221; a project description reads.

The &#8220;Toy Story&#8221; star appeared on ABC for six years, from 2011 to 2017, in his sitcom &#8220;Last Man Standing.&#8221; Allen played a conservative father in a female-dominated household. In 2017, the network suddenly canceled the show despite its incredible rating success, as The <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/why-last-man-standing-was-canceled-tim-allen-responds-1004414/">Hollywood Reporter</a> noted.
&#8220;Last Man Standing&#8221; then found a new home and moved to Fox in 2018, where the series ran until 2021.
Before that, it was at ABC where Allen got his breakthrough role in entertainment when he landed the part of Tim &#8220;The Toolman&#8221; Taylor on the hugely successful sitcom &#8220;Home Improvement,&#8221; which ran from 1991 to 1999.
It was focused on &#8220;the daily trials and tribulations of Tim &#8216;The Tool Man&#8217; Taylor, a television show host raising three mischievous boys with help from his loyal co-host, loving wife, and eccentric neighbor,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101120/">IMDb</a>.
Variety noted that Allen&#8217;s most recent project for the Disney-backed network is with Disney+ for &#8220;The Santa Clauses&#8221; series, in which he stars and executive produces.

It is a spinoff series from his Christmas classic, the 1994 movie &#8220;The Santa Clause,&#8221; and the subsequent films in the franchise. In the first movie, Allen plays Scott Calvin, a man who inadvertently becomes Santa Claus when the man in the big red coat falls off his roof.

&#8220;Boy Meets World&#8221; stars Rider Strong, Will Friedle, and Danielle Fishel opened up about the friendship they had at one point with actor Brian Peck, who was later convicted of child molestation.
During their &#8220;Pod Meets World&#8221; <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-pod-meets-world-98589488/episode/pod-meets-world-21924-151811336/">podcast</a> on Monday, Strong and Friedle said they were manipulated by Peck — who was accused in 2003 of molesting a child and pleaded no contest to the charges. He was later convicted and spent 16 months behind bars, <a href="https://ew.com/boy-meets-world-stars-discuss-former-friendship-convicted-child-abuser-brian-peck-8585002">Entertainment Weekly</a> reported.
Strong and Friedle were young stars when they met Peck, who was in his 40s when he showed up to work with them during a two-episode arc on the popular ABC sitcom in 1997.
They admitted Peck befriended them and the boys started hanging out with the older actor — not just on the set but outside of work too.

Peck was a known gay man and Fishel speculated that parents of young kids might&#8217;ve given him a &#8220;pass&#8221; and didn’t say anything about the older man hanging out with their children because they didn&#8217;t want to be seen as homophobic, &#8220;instead of, &#8216;This is a boundary, gay or not. This is a boundary between adults and kids.'&#8221;
Both Strong and Friedle said they are still reeling from how they said Peck ended up getting them to be on the &#8220;abuser&#8217;s side&#8221; to support him in court against the child molestation charges. 
&#8220;He didn&#8217;t say that nothing had happened,&#8221; Strong said. &#8220;So by the time we heard about this case and knew anything about it, it was always in the context of, &#8216;I did this thing, I am guilty. I am going to take whatever punishment the government determines, but I&#8217;m a victim of jailbait. There was this hot guy, I just did this thing and he&#8217;s underage.'&#8221;
&#8220;And we bought that storyline,&#8221; Strong added. &#8220;I never heard about the other things because, back then, you couldn&#8217;t Google to find out what people were being charged with. So in retrospect, he was making a plea deal and admitting one thing, which is all he admitted to us, but it looks like he was being charged with a series of crimes, which we did not know.&#8221;
The two stars even went so far as to write letters to the judge to defend their pal, something that the victim&#8217;s mom called Peck and them out in court.
&#8220;&#8216;Look at all the famous people you brought with you, and it doesn&#8217;t change what you did to my kid,'&#8221; Friedle said, recalling the moment, while he said he &#8220;just sat there wanting to die.&#8221;
&#8220;It was like, &#8216;What the hell am I doing here?'&#8221; he added. &#8220;It was horrifying all the way around. We weren&#8217;t told the whole story, but it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that we did it. I still can&#8217;t get the words out to describe all of the things that I&#8217;m feeling inside of myself.&#8221;
&#8220;There’s an actual victim here, and he turned us against the victim to where now we&#8217;re on his team,&#8221; Friedle added. &#8220;That’s the thing where, to me, I look back at that as my ever-loving shame for this entire [thing].&#8221;
&#8220;Getting taken in by somebody who&#8217;s a good actor and a manipulator, I could chalk that up to being young and that&#8217;s the way it is,&#8221; Friedle continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s awful. I&#8217;m going to use that for my growth as a human being, but when there&#8217;s an actual victim involved and now I&#8217;m on the abuser&#8217;s side, that’s the thing I can&#8217;t get over and haven&#8217;t been able to get over.&#8221;

Former Rep. George <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-santos">Santos</a> (R-NY) has filed a lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel accusing the ABC late-night talk show host of tricking him into making videos that made him the subject of ridicule on national television.
In a suit filed Saturday in U.S. district court for the southern district of New York, Santos accuses ABC, Walt Disney Co., and Kimmel, of copyright infringement, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/18/santos-sues-jimmy-kimmel-for-tricking-him-into-making-videos-to-ridicule-him-00142059">POLITICO</a> reported.
In the suit, Santos alleged Kimmel misrepresented himself in order to get Santos to create videos on the Cameo app &#8220;capitalizing on and ridiculing&#8221; his &#8220;gregarious personality.&#8221; Cameo connects famous people with fans who can request personalized video messages.

The ex-rep claimed he received at least 14 &#8220;fake requests&#8221; from Kimmel&#8217;s show under &#8220;phony names&#8221; used to deceive Santos. 
Unbeknownst to Santos, the videos started being broadcast in December on &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; in a segment called &#8220;Will Santos Say It?,&#8221; the suit said.
One such clip included Santos congratulating a fake winner of a beef-eating contest, calling the purported feat of consuming six pounds of loose ground beef in less than 30 minutes &#8220;amazing and impressive.&#8221; 
Santos&#8217; attorney, Robert Fantone, admitted in an email to POLITICO that the fake requests were funny, but were still a &#8220;clear violation of copyright law.&#8221;
In the suit, the ex-rep is seeking damages totaling $750,000 for the five special Cameo videos he made that ended up being broadcast on Kimmel&#8217;s late-night show and were also played on various social media platforms.

Santos was expelled from Congress in December after a House ethics report accused him of criminal activity. He faces 23 federal charges related to allegations of fraud, misusing campaign funds, and lying about his personal finances on House disclosure reports. He pleaded not guilty to all charges. The House Ethics Committee released a <a href="https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/Committee%20Report_53.pdf">report</a> in November that was heavily critical of the then-congressman&#8217;s conduct, saying that a &#8220;review of the allegations and charges&#8221; showed &#8220;overwhelming evidence of his misconduct.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sara Haines admitted during a recent broadcast that she had actively hidden Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency from her children — a feat that she said was made all the more difficult by the fact that they were just learning about presidents and what they did.
Haines explained Tuesday on the ABC midday talk show that she had even gone as far as policing what her kids could see on the news, refusing to allow her children to watch updates if former President Trump was to be the subject. She avoided any mention of the presidency at all until after President Joe Biden won in November of 2020.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Sara Haines says she didn&#39;t tell her kids who the president was it was Trump. &quot;I literally had to hide news for four years while Donald Trump was in.

&#8220;Do you know what my child can&#8217;t watch? News,&#8221; Haines said. &#8220;When you turn it on — I literally had to hide news for four years while Donald Trump was in. Because as they&#8217;re learning what a President of the United States is, I didn&#8217;t want to say, &#8216;Yeah, and that&#8217;s him right there.'&#8221;
&#8220;So I couldn&#8217;t even announce the president until Biden and Vice President Harris won,&#8221; she continued.

Haines shares the table at ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; with several women who fall right in line with that perspective — first and foremost being longtime regular host Whoopi Goldberg, who refuses to even say Donald Trump&#8217;s name aloud on the air. Instead, she refers to him in the Harry-Potter-esque terminology: &#8220;You Know Who.&#8221;
Cohost Sunny Hostin rarely mentions Trump without referring to him as the &#8220;twice-impeached&#8221; president. And newest cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin — who worked in the Trump administration but quit shortly after the 2020 presidential election — has suggested that despite identifying as a Republican, she would consider voting for a Democrat if it meant she had an opportunity to vote against Trump.

Sports host Pat McAfee’s future at ESPN seems to be on everyone&#8217;s mind after the former NFL player’s weekly guest, Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, suggested late-night host Jimmy Kimmel could be on the client list of convicted sex offender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein">Jeffrey Epstein</a>.
Kimmel obviously hit back and McAfee apologized, then claimed an ESPN executive was “attempting to sabotage” his show. Rodgers responded by claiming he didn’t say Kimmel was a pedophile, after which McAfee announced on his show on January 10 that “‘Aaron Rodgers’ Tuesday Season 4 is done” and he personally was “happy about it.”
So, what happens now for the man <a href="https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2023/08/the-pat-mcafee-show-on-espn-platforms-launches-sept-7-part-of-espns-personality-packed-programming-lineup/">ESPN</a> has called “one of the most successful voices in sport media” after he joined the network in September of 2023?
Burke Magnus, president of content at ESPN, has been a vocal supporter of McAfee and said at launch of his show, “We can’t wait for Pat and his team to bring a fresh new energy to ESPN’s weekday lineup, led by some of the most prominent, creative and authentic voices in sports.”
“The Pat McAfee Show will redefine what success looks like across multiple ESPN platforms and will bring a new, contemporary audience to our afternoon time block,” he added. “It’s a perfect fit.”

For those unfamiliar with McAfee, he is a former NFL punter who was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 2009. He played in the league for 9 seasons and was named All-Pro in 2014, and a Pro Bowler in 2014 and 2016. He was nominated to the NFL Hall of fame in 2022 after retiring from the league in 2016, according to ESPN.
Everyday, fans of the show are treated to a slew of former and current football stars, including co-host former NFL linebacker A.J. Hawk, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Tuesdays), former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt (Wednesdays) and now-retired Alabama football head coach Nick Saban (Thursdays), just to name a few.
In addition to hosting his show, McAfee provides college football analysis on ESPN’s College GameDay and other ESPN college football telecasts.
An ESPN <a href="https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/01/the-pat-mcafee-show-sees-steady-growth-in-december-garnering-886000-average-viewers-per-episode-across-live-channels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> dated Jan. 5 highlights the massive success his show has had since coming over to the sports network, bringing in “1.7 million total reach per show across all platforms in month of December – up 21% from September.” It has also had an average in December of 886,000 viewers per episode during the live airings across all platforms.
“It’s been a wild ride this season with ESPN,” McAfee said in the release. “We’ve had the phenomenal opportunity to do what we love on a scale that we’ve never done before. Day to day it certainly feels like a lot of folks are watching our program, but I genuinely try not to focus on numbers too much because you’re only as good as your last show.”
“So many cool moments happened this year because of our relationship with ESPN,” the sports host said.
Mike Foss, ESPN&#8217;s senior vice president of studio and digital production, said, “Pat and the boys have grown their audience every month since joining ESPN and have been an incredible addition. The first three months have been a tremendous success across every platform regardless of how you add it up.”
So with McAfee bringing millions to the network, it is not surprising that they would want to hold on to him despite the turmoil caused by Rodgers regarding Kimmel. 
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that [client list] doesn’t come out,&#8221; Rodgers said on the show. &#8220;I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”
In response, late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel threatened to sue the Jets QB, writing on<a href="https://x.com/jimmykimmel/status/1742324477323833546?s=20"> X</a>, in part, “Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”
The late-night host later mocked Rodgers on “<a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/jimmy-kimmel-aaron-rodgers-karen-jeffrey-epstein-list-1235865944/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Kimmel Live!</a>” and said Rodgers is allowed to have his own opinion, but added a caveat: “Saying someone is a pedophile is not an opinion, nor is it trash talk,” because “the truth still matters.”
The following day McAfee apologized for Rodgers’ comments and suggested Rodgers &#8220;was just trying to talk s***,&#8221; <a href="https://theathletic.com/5175873/2024/01/03/mcafee-apology-rodgers-kimmel-comments/?source=pulsenewsletter&amp;campaign=8649714" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Athletic</a> noted.
“We obviously don’t like the fact that we are associated with anything negative, ever…So we apologize for being a part of it,” he added. “Can’t wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it. Hopefully, those two will just be able to settle this, not court-wise. But be able to chit-chat and move along.”
Days later, McAfee appeared to make the drama bigger and claimed that top ESPN executive, Norby Williamson, was “attempting to sabotage” his show. He also accused the executive of leaking information that “sets a narrative of what our show is.”
Williamson oversees NFL and college football, along with “SportsCenter,” audio, the SEC Network, <a href="https://theathletic.com/mlb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a>, <a href="https://theathletic.com/nhl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHL</a>, combat, golf, tennis and investigative journalism, <a href="https://theathletic.com/5183717/2024/01/09/pat-mcafee-espn-aaron-rodgers/?access_token=13904269" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Athletic</a> noted. As previously noted, Magnus — who is Williamson’s supervisor — is a huge supporter of McAfee.
McAfee addressed the issue and said, “There was some comments about a particular person at ESPN that I made only on the YouTube and ESPN+ show. That wasn’t even on linear TV. I didn’t know anybody was going to hear it because it was just on digital.”
The sports host said after his comments made headlines, he was “super bummed out” Magnus “was made to look bad because of what I did and how I did it.”
“I would like everybody to know — we love Burke Magnus,” the NFL player said. “And also love Jimmy Pitaro. Love [Disney CEO] Bob Iger.”
“But there’s quite a transition era here between the old and the new,” he added. “And the old don’t like what the newbies do.” He added that he wasn’t “trying to get fired” as some speculated. 
“There’s certainly people that we don’t like and they do not like us,” McAfee continued. “That’s how it’s going to be and I don’t take back anything I said about said person. But the overall storyline about us and ESPN, I think people need to remember, is that we’re strong, baby. And we all understand what the future looks like, there’s just some old hags that potentially don’t.”
ESPN then released a statement that the matter would be handled “internally,&#8221; <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/01/espn-pat-mcafee-claims-executive-sabotage-show-1235696926/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deadline</a> noted. On Tuesday Jan 10. on <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/aaron-rodgers-says-never-called-195934374.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McAfee&#8217;s show</a>, Rodgers responded to Kimmel and said he didn’t think Kimmel was a pedophile.
“I totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be,” Rodgers said. “So for him to be upset about that, I get it.”
“I’m not stupid enough, even though you think I’m an idiot and you’ve made a lot of comments about my intelligence, but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero concrete evidence,” he added. “That’s ridiculous.”

During <a href="https://x.com/dhookstead/status/1745143238803996977?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McAfee’s Show</a> the next day he announced that Rodgers wouldn&#8217;t be coming on the show every Tuesday anymore, and that he was happy about the break. 
“There could be a lot of people that are happy with that,” the former NFL player said. “Myself included, to be honest with you. The way it ended, it got real loud, real loud. I’m happy that is not going to be my mentions going forward, which is great news.”
McAfee also said he was ready to move on from this situation.
“Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Famer,” the sports host said. “He’s a four-time MVP. He’s a massive piece of the NFL story whenever you go back and tell it. He will be a huge part of it. We are very lucky to get a chance to chat with him and learn from him. Some of his thoughts and opinions do piss off a lot of people. I’m pumped that that is no longer every single Wednesday of my life, which it has been for the last few weeks.”
“On Friday I obviously threw us into the fire as well,” he added. “I forever stand by that. Everything else, though, just can’t do that and not what we want to be known for.”
But just a few days after he made headlines with the announcement that Rodgers was done on the show, the quarterback was back on the show, an apparent message to those who assumed he had canceled Rodgers. He invited <a href="https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1745511911158882691?s=20">the Jets QB</a> on the show to talk about Bill Belichick retiring from the New England Patriots after 24 years, given Rodgers was the last person to talk to him on the field after the regular season finale.
They talked about Belichick&#8217;s NFL history and <a href="https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1745517525889171770?s=20">McAfee</a> made it clear he had not “turned his back on Aaron Rodgers,&#8221; explaining that the break from his friend&#8217;s appearances on the show was because “Rodgers has an offseason too.”
So, what happens next is anyone’s guess. It appears that both sides are standing down for now, as <a href="https://theathletic.com/5183717/2024/01/09/pat-mcafee-espn-aaron-rodgers/?access_token=13904269">The Athletic</a> noted.

Will Pat McAfee Make It To His One-Year Anniversary On ESPN Given Recent Rollercoaster Ride?

Veteran soap opera actor Ingo Rademacher, best known for his role in &#8220;General Hospital,&#8221; is suing Disney-owned ABC after the company ostensibly fired him for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The actor, though, says his legal team was able to expose evidence of political animus toward Rademacher — the reason they claim the actor was really fired.
“ABC had a duty to accommodate Ingo,” reads one of Rademacher&#8217;s team&#8217;s legal filings. “Instead, it put him through a sham process that was designed to fail, and which was meant to cover up the real reason for Ingo’s termination: his political views.”
During an interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/megan-basham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham</a>, which can be listened to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire/silencing-hollywood-ingo-rademacher-sues-abc-saturday-extra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here on Morning Wire</a>, Rademacher details what his team found in the legal discovery process and the actor reasserts his commitment to free speech.
&#8220;I was fired for not complying with the vaccine mandate,&#8221; Rademacher told Basham. &#8220;But I had kind of suspicions about maybe that it was political, because in 2020, I started speaking out, started speaking my political views on my social media accounts, my Twitter and my Instagram, because I thought that was my right — little did I know.&#8221;
&#8220;It is my right,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And everyone&#8217;s like, &#8216;Are you crazy to speak out against this?&#8217; And I&#8217;m like, well, no, this is freedom of speech. This is very important. If other people on the show get to speak, then so do I. And if they have different views, that&#8217;s totally fine with me.&#8221;
His legal team worked &#8220;to expose the political animus&#8221; towards the actor, despite &#8220;ABC lawyers&#8217; insisted that such evidence didn&#8217;t exist,&#8221; Rademacher explained.
&#8220;At the last minute, all of a sudden, they found a bunch of emails and text messages that showed the political animus towards me,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And that included emails and text messages between cast and crew. One of them was a producer calling me an ignorant racist — just name-calling for no reason. I think that kind of just shows the depth that Hollywood goes to in order to cover up the political discrimination.&#8221;
Rademacher noted that actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gina-carano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gina Carano</a>, who was fired from Disney-owned Lucasfilm back in 2021, is a &#8220;perfect example&#8221; of such political discrimination.
&#8220;When she started speaking out against the narrative, they started looking for any post of hers that they could use to fire her,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;And they didn&#8217;t even hide it.&#8221;
Rademacher seemed to become a target when he spoke out about issues like COVID and transgenderism. With the former, the actor said at the time that the vaccine was not intended to &#8220;stop the spread.&#8221; Notably, Pfizer chairman Albert Bourla <a href="https://thehill.com/news-by-subject/healthcare/528619-pfizer-chairman-were-not-sure-if-someone-can-transmit-virus-after/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in 2020 that the company did not examine if the COVID vaccine stops transmission during development. “This is something that needs to be examined,&#8221; Bourla said.
When it comes to transgender ideology, Rademacher was accused of &#8220;misgendering&#8221; a trans person. He also argued that biological males who identify as trans should not be taking achievements or invading the spaces of girls and women — an opinion supported by the vast majority of Americans.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never said anything to anybody about not taking the vaccine, this was literally just — we shouldn&#8217;t have vaccine passports,&#8221; Rademacher explained one of his apparently controversial posts. &#8220;And you know, that they were really, really upset about that. They were talking about recasting me, and things like that.&#8221;
&#8220;We have the emails from them actively talking about figuring out a way to let me go well before the vaccine mandate even came along,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So when that came along, they were just like, &#8216;Okay, well, we&#8217;ll just use this, he&#8217;s not going to get vaccinated, and we&#8217;ll just deny the religious exemption.&#8221;
&#8220;Maybe I&#8217;m naive in that way, but I really believe in freedom of speech,&#8221; the actor said, noting of his mistreatment. &#8220;And I advocate for anybody else that&#8217;s on the show.&#8221;
His former colleague Nancy Lee Grahn is very vocal about her left-wing views online, Rademacher noted, but said that he gladly advocates for her freedom of speech. &#8220;It&#8217;s still her freedom to speak, that is the most important thing to protect. And that&#8217;s one of the main things I think that we&#8217;re fighting for — besides the vaccine mandate being unconstitutional, and the religious exemption being denied. Freedom of speech is at the heart of a well-functioning country; we have to have debate and nobody wants to debate anymore. They just want to call you names, try to smear you as much as possible, which is what happened with me.&#8221;
Following his response, Basham noted that Lee Grahn was one of the people who essentially cheered Rademacher&#8217;s firing, openly online.
&#8220;She jumped on the virtue signaling train,&#8221; the actor responded. &#8220;And wanted to announce to everybody that I was &#8216;mercifully&#8217; no longer on the show.&#8221;
&#8220;Announcing that I was no longer on the show, I think was really disappointing,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t mind working with somebody like that at work. It doesn&#8217;t bother me because, again, it comes down to freedom of speech. And I&#8217;m a huge supporter of that. If you want to talk about your political views and social views on your social media account, which is what she does, then I get to enjoy the same right. Now, she can disagree with me, and we can argue about it — not at work, obviously. But also, I don&#8217;t have a problem working with people that I don&#8217;t agree with. It doesn&#8217;t doesn&#8217;t bother me. I don&#8217;t talk about my politics at work. But my social media is my social media account. And I think I should have the right to say whatever I want, and somebody else like her is enjoying her freedom to say whatever she wants.&#8221;
Basham then asked Rademacher, &#8220;What is your sense in Hollywood of just how many performers and other industry professionals are suppressing their views out of fear of the kind of job-loss and blacklist that you describe?&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna be guessing it&#8217;s probably somewhere close to half the people at work with me, that their views do not align with the current media narrative and Hollywood — they are more on my side of this than anything else,&#8221; the actor responded. &#8220;The people who do agree with my views, or are afraid to speak up — you get private messages, you get phone calls from friends, and they&#8217;re like, &#8216;Man, you have a lot of courage. But I just can&#8217;t do it, I just can&#8217;t fight the fight.'&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re just not going to say anything,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And, to me, I walked away from an incredible job.&#8221;
&#8220;From a spiritual perspective, I do believe that I was kind of chosen for this fight, because I wasn&#8217;t going to back down,&#8221; Rademacher added. &#8220;And let me just say to everybody, suing is not fun. It has completely thrown our lives upside down. We had to move from an amazing community for my kids; they had a great life there and I had to  tear them away from that life. They destroy lives when they don&#8217;t stand for equal rights for everybody and freedom of speech. And yes, everybody is afraid to speak up in Hollywood, and when you do, they find a way very quickly to get rid of you.&#8221;

Alternative rock band <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">Green Day</a> faced backlash for their anti-MAGA lyrics change during a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-years">New Year’s Eve</a> performance, and now Tesla CEO Elon Musk is weighing in on the debate.
&#8220;Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it,&#8221; the billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1741866490817642875?s=20">shared</a> in an X post on Sunday evening, adding two laughing-crying emojis. He was responding to an article from Not the Bee about the altered line.

While performing the band’s 2004 hit song “American Idiot” Sunday night, the band&#8217;s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong sang, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda” instead of the original lyrics, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rocker-changes-lyrics-to-take-shot-at-trump-supporters-during-new-years-eve-performance-on-abc">reported</a>.
This performance aired on ABC as part of the “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” presentation. 
“American Idiot” was made as a political statement. It was released following the 9/11 terror attacks as a form of protest against then-President George W. Bush and the resulting war with Iraq. 
Armstrong has been an outspoken critic of former president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> for years. He said in 2018, “I f***ing hate Donald Trump so much,” and “I used to scream I hated George Bush. This one is a little different. This one is bad, it’s like acid gone bad. F***ing LSD and the American Right, man.”

In 2016, the band popularized the slogan &#8220;No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” per <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-beefs-with-green-day-maga-trump-american-idiot-2024-1#">Business Insider</a>.
Musk has been more critical of leftist policies in recent years. He’s criticized both Trump and President Joe Biden.
In the recently released biography “Elon Musk,” the SpaceX founder said Trump was “kind of nuts” but “may turn out okay.”
“Trump might be one of the best bullsh***ers ever,” Musk told biographer Walter Isaacson. “If you just think of Trump as a sort of con-man performance, then his behavior sort of makes sense.”
Musk also said Biden could plausibly “audition for role of Crypt Keeper – no makeup or special effects needed!”
“When he was vice president, I went to a lunch with him in San Francisco where he droned on for an hour and was boring as hell, like one of those dolls where you pull the string and it just says the same mindless phrases over and over,” Musk told Isaacson.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, a vehement Donald Trump critic, changed the lyrics to one of the band’s most popular songs to take a shot at the former president and his supporters during a New Year’s Eve performance. 
While performing the band’s 2004 hit song “American Idiot” Sunday night in Hollywood, Armstrong sang, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda” instead of the original lyrics, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda.” The performance was broadcast on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve&#8221; on ABC, which was hosted by Ryan Seacrest, who also interviewed President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden on the network’s special coverage of the New Year’s Eve festivities.

“American Idiot” was released during America’s war against Iraq following the 9/11 terror attacks and was a clear statement against then-President George W. Bush and the war, Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/green-day-changed-song-slam-trump-during-new-year-eve-2024-1">reported</a>. Armstrong has previously shared his strong feelings on Trump, telling concertgoers in 2018, “I f***ing hate Donald Trump so much.”
“I used to scream I hated George Bush. This one is a little different,” he added, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2018/music/news/billie-joe-armstrong-donald-trump-green-day-1202852632/">Variety</a>. “This one is bad, it’s like acid gone bad. F***ing LSD and the American Right, man.” 
Shortly after Trump burst onto the political scene and became the Republican presidential nominee in 2016, the Green Day rocker <a href="https://wcyy.com/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-compares-donald-trump-to-hitler/">compared</a> the GOP leader to Hitler, telling Kerrang!

They&#8217;re pissed off and he&#8217;s preyed on their anger.&#8221;
&#8220;He just said, &#8216;You have no options, and I&#8217;m going to take care of it myself.&#8217; I mean, that&#8217;s f&#8211;king Hitler, man! I don&#8217;t even know how else to explain it. I wish I were over-exaggerating. And sometimes maybe I do over-exaggerate with Bush. But with Trump, I just can&#8217;t wait &#8217;til he&#8217;s gone,&#8221; Armstrong said.

On ABC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, Biden appeared in a pretaped interview where he chatted with Seacrest and touted the job he’s done as president. 
“I hope that [people] understand that we’re in a better position than any country in the world to lead the world,” Biden <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4383733-bidens-share-new-years-message-ryan-seacrest-interview/">said</a>. “And we’re coming back, and it’s about time.”
“I just feel good, the American people got up. They’ve been through a rough time with the pandemic, but now we’re coming back, they’re back,” the president added.

ABC, NBC, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/did-hamas-write-this-cbs-trashed-for-gaza-hospital-story-that-still-blames-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS</a> News have given zero airtime to the &#8220;Squad&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hamas-supporting-democrats-and-why-the-democrats-wont-condemn-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas-supporting Democrats</a> following the terrorist attacks against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/three-big-lies-the-west-tells-itself-about-israel-and-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> on October 7 that resulted in the deaths of at least 1,400 Israelis.
The broadcast networks&#8217; evening newscasts between Oct. 7 &#8211; Oct. 22 have not reported on a single comment or action made by the anti-Israel Democrats, allowing them to escape scrutiny from the public and presenting a false image that Democrats are unified in their support of Israel, according to a new study from the <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/bill-dagostino/2023/10/24/study-abc-cbs-and-nbc-are-shielding-pro-hamas-democrats-public" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Media Research Center</a>.
Analysts said that despite the networks giving a total of 525 minutes of air time to discuss what&#8217;s been happening in Gaza and with Israel, not not one of three broadcast networks made a single mention of the &#8220;Squad&#8221; Democrats&#8217; numerous actions and remarks against Israel.  The study included these seven members of the group: Reps. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-desantis-saying-palestinians-are-anti-semitic-is-incredibly-destructive-and-dangerous" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY), <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omar-promotes-photo-falsely-showing-dead-palestinian-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ilhan Omar</a> (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmaker-calls-for-tlaib-to-lose-clearance-over-security-concerns-her-allegiance-lies-with-hamas">Rashida Tlaib</a> (D-MI), Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Cori Bush (D-MO), and Summer Lee (D-PA).
Such remarks include &#8220;calling Israel apartheid,&#8221; &#8220;accusing Israel of war crimes,&#8221; and not &#8220;cosigning&#8221; an &#8220;anti-Hamas resolution.&#8221; Following the attack on October 7, the study found that not one of the broadcast evening news mentioned that Omar joined Bush and Tlaib in calling on Congress to cease military aid for Israel.
On October 11, a resolution was introduced which affirmed support of Israel and condemned Hamas&#8217;s &#8220;barbaric&#8221; attack. Not one of those 7 Squad members signed it and that was never mentioned on CBS, ABC or NBC.
Omar, Bush and Tlaib all repeatedly promoted the lie blaming Israel for bombing a hospital inside Gaza, which was actually the result of a rocket misfired by Hamas hitting a parking lot, not a hospital. Again, none of this was reported by those three news broadcasts.
On October 17, Tlaib tweeted the false claim and it remains on X at the time of this publication.
&#8220;Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that,&#8221; Tlaib posted on <a href="https://x.com/RashidaTlaib/status/1714342122185191596?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a>. &#8220;POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire &amp; help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims (sic) Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-and-news-orgs-that-promoted-false-palestinian-claims-that-israel-bombed-hospital" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omar</a> also promoted it and none of this was mentioned in the evening news broadcasts on those three networks.
At a pro-Hamas rally at the U.S. Capitol on October 18, Tlaib repeated the lie when she told the crowd, &#8220;[We] continue to watch people think it&#8217;s okay to bomb a hospital &#8230;&#8221; and, according to MRC, none of this was deemed important for the evening broadcasts to include in its coverage.

Bob Menendez</a> (D-NJ) &#8220;serious&#8221; and &#8220;troubling&#8221; as she explained that he&#8217;s &#8220;entitled to a presumption of innocence&#8221; amid multiple corruption charges.
The ABC talk show host wrote to her 1.9 million followers on Monday in a post <a href="https://twitter.com/ananavarro/status/1706404183694282897" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on X</a> about how she knows Menendez — after working &#8220;with him on countless issues&#8221; — as the senator faces multiple felonies after he was indicted on bribery charges. He faces charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-congressman-announces-plan-to-challenge-indicted-nj-sen-menendez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;These are serious, troubling allegations,&#8221; Navarro&#8217;s post read. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t look good. But Bob is entitled to a presumption of innocence. The people of NJ will decide his political future.&#8221;
&#8220;A jury will decide his legal fate,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Corruption, on all sides, in all branches and levels of government, must be eradicated &#8211; whether friend or foe.&#8221;

Navarro&#8217;s post included a video from her comments she made earlier in the day on the daytime talk show in which she shared she admitted talking about the allegations against her friend was &#8220;not easy&#8221; for her.
&#8220;I have worked with him on many, many issues,&#8221; the co-host said. &#8220;There is not an important issue to the Latino community, there is not an important issue about freedom around the world, about freedom in Latin America that he has not been on the forefront of.&#8221;
&#8220;I can tell you I have worked with him time and time again &#8230; never has there been any hint of impropriety,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Never has he hinted about a payback or anything like that.&#8221;
&#8220;So, I&#8217;m having a very hard time reconciling the evidence I saw shown on TV with the Bob Menendez I have known for almost 30 years,&#8221; Navarro continued. &#8220;This is personally hard for me &#8230; I&#8217;m hoping against hope that there is some sort of logical explanation.&#8221;
The TV host said as hard as it&#8217;s been for her to see the allegations, she also knows Menendez and said he&#8217;s not &#8220;going to resign&#8221; and is &#8220;going to go to trial on this.&#8221;
&#8220;This looks ugly,&#8221; she added. &#8220;This looks bad. This is hard to explain. I can&#8217;t come up with an explanation. But I do think that there is a bigger problem here than Bob Menendez.&#8221;
&#8220;The problem here is Bob Menendez wife cashing in on his name,&#8221; Navarro continued. &#8220;Or [President] Joe Biden&#8217;s son [Hunter Biden] cashing in on his name &#8230; at some point Congress needs to get a hold of this swampiness going on and&#8230; deal with the idea that they can&#8217;t just have their stupid family members making money off their own name.&#8221;
The senator was previously indicted in 2015 on federal corruption charges, but that case ended in a mistrial two years later.

Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.
For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
<h3>ABC News, &#8220;This Week&#8221;:</h3>
During a panel discussion on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile weighed in on the situation currently facing House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Referencing warnings from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) that he would call for McCarthy to vacate his position — or oust him from it if he chooses to prioritize keeping the government open over fighting for spending cuts — Brazile said, &#8220;He&#8217;s in a real pickle &#8230; they&#8217;ve shown him the third finger.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Sarah Isgur weighed in as well, saying that the precarious nature of the situation could lead to an unlikely alliance between McCarthy and Democrats — in part because they would prefer to avert a shutdown, but also because if McCarthy loses the Speaker&#8217;s gavel, they can&#8217;t guarantee that his replacement would be someone they could work with.

<h3>CBS News, &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221;:</h3>
A new CBS News poll, highlighted on Sunday morning&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; delivered more bad news to Democrats hoping for President Joe Biden to win and serve a second term in the White House.
According to the poll, well over one-third (44%) of voters believe that former President Donald Trump has the mental acuity and cognitive capability to hold the office again. Just one-fourth (26%) believe that Biden would be mentally fit for a second term, and slightly fewer (23%) say that neither Trump nor Biden is fit for the position.

Only 26% say the reverse is true, and 23% say neither man is mentally healthy enough. <a href="https://t.co/YPYTTfXtCW">pic.twitter.com/YPYTTfXtCW</a>

&#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; also addressed the controversial topic of artificial intelligence (AI) during this weekend&#8217;s show, and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) warned that it could certainly have a negative impact on upcoming elections.
A.I., Warner said, presented &#8220;an enormous risk&#8221; going forward, and called for Congress to explore regulations in that particular arena.

<h3>CNN, &#8220;State of the Union&#8221;:</h3>
Former Vice President – and 2024 Republican presidential hopeful Mike Pence — joined CNN anchor Jake Tapper on &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; where they discussed a number of topics facing Americans going into the next year.
Pence weighed in on the looming government shutdown — which has pitted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy against members of the House Freedom Caucus — and said that Republicans should be working to &#8220;get as much as they possibly can&#8221; with regard to measurable spending cuts.

<h3>NBC News, &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221;:</h3>
Former President Trump created a stir with his appearance on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; — opposite newly-minted host Kristin Welker — prompting leftists to flood X with posts calling for people to boycott the interview entirely for giving Trump a platform.
During the interview, Trump raised eyebrows with several statements — including one aimed at his closest competitor Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) — claiming that it was unwise for GOP-led states to implement &#8220;heartbeat&#8221; laws outlawing abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
When pressed on Taiwan and whether or not he would commit to sending U.S. troops in the event that China invaded, the former president demurred.
&#8220;Only stupid people are going to give that answer,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;But you don&#8217;t take it off the table?&#8221; Welker pressed again.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t take anything off the table, no,&#8221; Trump confirmed.

<h3>FOX, &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221;:</h3>
&#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Shannon Bream spoke with Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, and she pressed him on a series of foreign policy issues that have come up over the early weeks of the campaign.
Among other topics, Bream asked Ramaswamy about his claim that policies allowing American companies to hire foreign workers specifically for skilled tech jobs amounted to &#8220;indentured servitude&#8221; — and asked whether that was the case when his own company had made use of those policies.
