On &#8220;Handling A Crisis,&#8221; Trump beat Biden 46%-42%; on &#8220;Strong Record As President,&#8221; Trump topped Biden 46%-39%; and on &#8220;Competent &amp; Effective,&#8221; Trump prevailed over Biden 47%-36%.

Kornacki said these findings are &#8220;troubling&#8221; for the Biden campaign, as they show &#8220;the erosion of public confidence on a number of critical fronts.&#8221; He stressed that Biden had the advantage in the competency and crisis management questions in the 2020 election, both of which are now showing more positive numbers for Trump.
&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to mention this one, too. &#8216;Necessary mental and physical health.&#8217; We asked this four years ago, it was a wash. It&#8217;s now a clear liability for Joe Biden. So these are all troubling numbers for Biden, but it&#8217;s not to say there aren&#8217;t warning signs for Donald Trump in this poll either,&#8221; Kornacki said.
Two areas in which Biden rose above Trump included abortion and the ability to bring the country together, though Kornacki opined that he thought the &#8220;headline here is you add those two numbers together, you&#8217;re not even close to 100. That means a lot of voters think neither candidate is better on that.&#8221;

Kornacki said the poll found Trump with 46%-44% lead over Biden in another head-to-head matchup, though he stressed that the margin between the candidates has gotten smaller over the past few months. This coincided with Biden&#8217;s job approval rating having a &#8220;slight improvement,&#8221; he observed. Still, Kornacki explained, Biden&#8217;s job performance numbers lag behind other recent presidents.
Adding a third candidate to the mix, in particular independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., put Biden ahead of the rest, Kornacki said. &#8220;Joe Biden, 39%; Donald Trump, 37%. There&#8217;s Kennedy getting 13%. In other words, we&#8217;re seeing by a better than 2:1 margin, it&#8217;s Trump voters who are flipping over to Kennedy in this scenario, not Biden voters,&#8221; he said.

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>
White House National Security spokesman John Kirby made several media stops on Sunday in the wake of Iran&#8217;s direct attack on Israel, among them a brief interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on &#8220;This Week.&#8221;
During his appearance on the show, Kirby urged the terrorist group Hamas — which started the current Israel-Hamas war with the unprovoked attack on civilians that took place on October 7 — to accept a deal that would force them to release Israeli hostages.
&#8220;Hamas needs to take that deal,&#8221; Kirby said noting that it would include a &#8220;six-week ceasefire to allow for an increase in humanitarian assistance.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During a roundtable discussion later in the show, the conversation turned to abortion, the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, and the 1864 Arizona law that the state&#8217;s Supreme Court said could be enforced in the absence of Roe. Former interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile weighed in on the law, which would ban most abortions in the state.
&#8220;Will Democrats make sure that those victims, those women who are having these horrifying experiences get to tell their story? Absolutely,&#8221; Brazile said.&#8221;And who&#8217;s responsible? Donald Trump.&#8221;

<h3>CBS News, &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221;:</h3>
Former CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie joined host Margaret Brennan on CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; to discuss Iran&#8217;s direct attack on Israel, and he made it clear that he believed Iran had shown its hand — and that it wasn&#8217;t a good one.
The attack showered Israel with missiles and drones, most of which were repelled by the Iron Dome defense system — and according to McKenzie, the combination came as &#8220;close to a maximum effort as they could generate.&#8221;
&#8220;Iran could not replicate last night&#8217;s attack tonight if they had to,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Iran is relatively weaker than it was yesterday.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
McKenzie went on to say that in the aftermath of Iran&#8217;s actions Israel would have more support behind a retaliatory strike, but that they should still exercise &#8220;restraint&#8221; and tailor any military response to have a &#8220;definable beginning and a definable end.&#8221;
&#8220;Israel can name its price right now,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;But it&#8217;s also a position that calls for exercise in strategic restraint.&#8221;

Fetterman went on to attack the far left within his own party, saying that he would never &#8220;capitulate to the fringe&#8221; and adding, &#8220;I will never pander to that as well. In fact, that helps, that empowers Hamas. And Hamas is actually convinced that they are winning the PR war, and they’re never going to negotiate at this point.&#8221;
&#8220;They think they’re going to hold on to the very end,&#8221; Fetterman continued. &#8220;And I know why they’re not willing to provide any kind of proof of life. And I don’t know why there’s not more of that conversation in the media. Like, what about the hostages? What’s happened to them? Where are they now? And let’s just bring them home.&#8221;

&#8220;Iran’s goal has always been the same, and that is to make Israel an unlivable place,&#8221; Rubio explained. &#8220;Iran knows it cannot beat Israel militarily, but what it does aspire to do is make Israel an impossible place to live and a place no one wants to visit.&#8221;

&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to weigh in,&#8221; Whitmer insisted, despite the fact that Democrat opposition to support for Israel had driven thousands in her state to vote &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; rather than cast a primary vote for President Joe Biden. &#8220;A lot of these terms are used to inflame and divide us.&#8221;

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki invited Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to her MSNBC show, where they did their best to breathe new life into the Trump-Russia narrative.
&#8220;It&#8217;s like Trump is the fourth branch of government and Putin is the fifth branch of government,&#8221; Raskin claimed. &#8220;The Republicans can&#8217;t do anything unless Trump approves it and Trump can&#8217;t do anything if his friend Vladimir Putin doesn&#8217;t want him to.&#8221;

MSNBC took a wave of backlash after it aired an interview with former Stormy Daniels attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/msnbc-interviews-convicted-felon-michael-avenatti-from-prison-about-trump-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Avenatti</a> — who had to take the call from the prison where he&#8217;s serving time — after hosts and employees made it clear that former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel would not be an acceptable addition to the network.
Host Ari Melber interviewed the disgraced attorney, who was sentenced in late 2022 to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-michael-avenatti-sentenced-to-14-years-in-prison-for-financial-crimes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serve 14 years</a> for wire-fraud and obstruction, about the potential outcome of the hush-money case against former President Donald Trump. &#8220;I think [Trump] will be convicted,&#8221; Avenatti said.

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>
White House spokesperson John Kirby continued the Biden Administration&#8217;s apparent trend toward criticizing Israel, suggesting that Israel would need to prove itself before the United States had &#8220;confidence&#8221; in their strategy in Gaza moving forward.
Kirby explained that President Biden wanted to see &#8220;sustained changes in the way they&#8217;re operating on the ground and the way they are allowing humanitarian assistance to get in&#8221; to Gaza, &#8220;so that confidence can be restored.&#8221;

Kirby went on to explain that over time, the Biden administration had expressed a &#8220;growing degree of frustration that we&#8217;ve had with the way these operations these operations are being prosecuted and the way that the Israelis are acting on the ground in terms of civilian casualties.&#8221;

White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby addressed reports of Israel Defense Forces executing a partial troop withdrawal from southern Gaza, and he explained that the move was designed to give IDF troops a chance to rest and regroup ahead of any additional planned action.
Kirby said that the IDF had planned the partial withdrawal in order to &#8220;rest and refit,&#8221; adding, &#8220;What they&#8217;ll do with those troops after a rest and refit, I can&#8217;t speak to.&#8221;

Israel has offered several times to suspend fighting and implement at least a temporary ceasefire if Hamas would agree to release more of the hostages — proposing similar arrangements to the deal that was released last year, which resulted in some of the hostages being returned home.

Abbott accused Biden of allowing open borders in an attempt to appease the far Left within his own party, and argued that because of his policies, the United States was being &#8220;invaded in ways that put our country at risk.&#8221;
The Texas Governor went on to accuse Mayor Eric Adams (D-NYC) of &#8220;aiding and abetting&#8221; the Biden administration by embracing &#8220;sanctuary city&#8221; policies.

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki sat down on Sunday with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to discuss the continued fallout after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore — and Psaki&#8217;s chief complaint was former President Donald Trump had not joined other politicians in &#8220;acknowledging&#8221; the immigrant victims who were killed.
&#8220;I mean, Trump is running for president,&#8221; Psaki began. &#8220;He has yet to acknowledge the victims of the tragedy in Baltimore who were fixing the potholes on the bridge at the time of the collapse. All of them were immigrants — I have my own views, but why do you think he&#8217;s said absolutely nothing?&#8221;
&#8220;Just at a human level it would be helpful for the former president to weigh in here and show the solidarity that we&#8217;ve seen from most, if not all, elected officials on either side of the aisle,&#8221; Buttigieg replied.

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>
Former CENTCOM commander General Frank McKenzie joined ABC News&#8217; Martha Raddatz to discuss the fact that since President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration withdrew all American troops from Afghanistan — with disastrous results — the terror group ISIS has been allowed to grow virtually unchecked.
McKenzie explained that ISIS was able to grow in part by using the internet to encourage radicalization in countries all around the globe, saying that ability &#8220;may be one of the most dangerous methods that ISIS can use to generate attacks.&#8221;

McKenzie went on to say that President Biden&#8217;s foreign policy — specifically his decision to abandon Afghanistan entirely when he pulled the last American troops out in 2021 — was creating an environment where ISIS could flourish.
&#8220;In Afghanistan, we have almost no ability to see into that country and almost no ability to strike into that country. And so, ISIS there is able to grow unabated,&#8221; he explained, warning that ISIS and other terror groups had already suggested they aspired to attack the United States. &#8220;There&#8217;s no pressure on them.&#8221;

&#8220;I would say that he&#8217;s very sincere about his faith,&#8221; Cardinal Gregory, the first African American to serve as a Cardinal, began.

&#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Shannon Bream spoke with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) about the 2024 presidential election, which is looming even closer as it appears both parties have settled on their respective candidates: President Joe Biden (Democrat) and former President Donald Trump (Republican).
Bream led with a poll that showed Trump with &#8220;an 11-point edge&#8221; over President Biden when it came to his handling of foreign policy, and asked Khanna what he made of the president&#8217;s reelection chances.
Khanna suggested that people had only soured on Biden because the war was dragging on, and argued that once the war was over — and Israel was secure — Biden&#8217;s poll numbers were likely to improve.
Bream pivoted to discuss the economy then, noting that in recent polls, over half of Americans (52%) said that they were &#8220;worse off&#8221; under Biden than they had been before he took office in 2021. Another 26% said that they had seen no change, and only 22% said that they were better off in that same time frame.
Khanna pushed back, arguing that the country was still recovering from the COVID pandemic and claiming that Biden had &#8220;created&#8221; millions of new jobs — despite reports clarifying that most of the jobs Biden claims to have &#8220;created&#8221; were jobs lost under draconian COVID policies and lockdowns coming back after those restrictions were lifted.
Khanna went on to say that Biden advocated for raising wages, but did not address the economic impact — primarily through automation and job losses — of a rising minimum wage.

White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby Visits “Fox News Sunday”

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 37: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ronna-mcdaniel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronna McDaniel</a>, the former head of the Republican National Committee, is considering taking legal action after she was ousted from a contributor slot on NBC News.
McDaniel has met with Bryan Freedman, a popular attorney among disaffected and ousted cable news stars looking to take legal action against their old employers, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/27/ronna-mcdaniel-nbc-contract-00149274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO</a>. Freedman’s resume includes representing Megyn Kelly against NBC, Tucker Carlson against Fox News, and Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon against CNN.
McDaniel expects from NBC she will be paid out the full $600,000 that her two-year contract had been worth, but part of McDaniel’s discussion with Freedman was about her options to sue for damages as well. The former RNC head is exploring legal action for defamation and a hostile work environment, according to POLITICO.
NBCUniversal News Group Chair Cesar Conde <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/msnbc-president-recruited-ronna-mcdaniel-before-nbc-booted-former-rnc-head-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that NBC News and its sister network, MSNBC, were cutting ties with McDaniel on Tuesday after days of internal backlash, some of which played out publicly on the networks themselves. The public backlash began with Chuck Todd, NBC’s chief political analyst and former moderator of “Meet the Press.”
Todd appeared on his old show, now hosted by Kristen Welker, and expressed angst over an interview Welker had conducted with McDaniel. The interview was booked while McDaniel had still been head of the RNC, but took place after she was announced as an NBC contributor.
“You got put into an impossible situation, booking this interview, and then all of a sudden the rug was pulled out from under you, and you find out she’s being paid to show up?” Todd said on Sunday. “It’s unfortunate for this program, but I am glad you did the best that you could.”

After days of hosts on the networks bashing the decision to hire McDaniels on air, Conde sent a memo to employees announcing that McDaniel would not be appearing on either network.
“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal,” Conde wrote. “I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”

Ronna McDaniel Weighs Legal Action After NBC Ouster: Report

U.S.

MSNBC President Rashida Jones reportedly recruited Ronna McDaniel to appear on the network before the former head of the Republican National Committee (RNC) was fired amid internal backlash.
NBC announced on Tuesday that McDaniel would no longer appear on the network. The announcement came days after the former RNC head was hired to be a contributor on the network, prompting backlash from NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd and others on NBC’s sister network, MSNBC. 
Executives at NBC, seemingly bowing to the pressure, soon severed ties with McDaniel. Many of those executives, including the president of MSNBC, had roles in convincing McDaniel to join the network. Jones met with McDaniel via video call in March and was part of offering McDaniel a better contract to convince her to appear on MSNBC as well as NBC, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/27/ronna-mcdaniel-nbc-msnbc-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal,” NBC Universal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde wrote in a note to staff announcing McDaniel’s exit from the network. “I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”
Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the group that represented McDaniel during her contract negotiations with the network, reportedly dropped the former RNC head as well, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/nbc-news-ronna-mcdaniel-contributor-1235860170/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
The open revolt against NBC’s decision to hire McDaniel began with Todd, the former host of “Meet the Press,” blasting the network on his former show, now moderated by Kristen Welker. McDaniel’s first appearance on NBC had been an interview with Welker, which was booked before McDaniel’s contract with NBC was announced.
“You got put into an impossible situation, booking this interview, and then all of a sudden the rug was pulled out from under you, and you find out she’s being paid to show up?” Todd <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/chuck-todd-blasts-nbc-news-ronna-mcdaniel-hire-1235950591/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Sunday. “It’s unfortunate for this program, but I am glad you did the best that you could.”

“Our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation,” he added. Others at the network accused McDaniel of threatening democracy over her actions in the 2020 election and criticized her support for former President Donald Trump.
News networks hiring former political officials, operatives, and others is nothing new to the media. George Stephanopoulos, former White House communications director in the Clinton administration, hosts “Good Morning America” on ABC. Kayleigh McEnany, who served Trump as White House press secretary, is now a cohost on Fox News’ “Outnumbered.” Jen Psaki, who previously performed McEnany’s role but for President Joe Biden, hosts a show on MSNBC.

MSNBC President Recruited Ronna McDaniel Before NBC Booted Former RNC Head: Report

Chuck Todd

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and former President Donald Trump ripped NBC as &#8220;weak&#8221; and &#8220;an absolute disgrace&#8221; after the network dropped former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel four days after announcing her hiring as a contributor.
NBC <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbc-releases-statement-announcing-ronna-mcdaniel-is-out-just-days-after-hiring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Tuesday that McDaniel was out after multiple hosts — including Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Nicolle Wallace — criticized the network&#8217;s decision to hire the former RNC leader.
“There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the News Group. After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,” NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde said in a statement. “No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”
Following the announcement, social media quickly flooded with posts slamming NBC&#8217;s decision.
&#8220;NBC &#8216;News&#8217; is an absolute disgrace,&#8221; Speaker Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1772808871465062777" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in a post on X.
Trump released a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112164618833623869" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on his social media platform Truth Social, expressing his surprise at NBC&#8217;s move before calling for more &#8220;free and fair press.&#8221;
&#8220;Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;It leaves her in a very strange place, it’s called NEVER NEVERLAND, and it’s not a place you want to be. These Radical Left Lunatics are CRAZY, and the top people at NBC ARE WEAK. They were BROKEN and EMBARRASSED by LOW RATINGS, HIGHLY OVERPAID, &#8216;TALENT.&#8217; BRING BACK FREE AND FAIR PRESS &#8211; MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024!&#8221;
McDaniel accepted the NBC offer after she stepped down from her role as chair of the RNC following a private meeting in February with Trump, who tapped her to lead the party after his 2016 presidential election victory.

During a &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; segment on Sunday, Todd — NBC News&#8217; chief political analyst — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chuck-todd-blasts-his-own-network-on-air-for-hiring-former-rnc-chair-ronna-mcdaniel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed McDaniel’s hiring</a> with journalist Kristen Welker, who recently sat down with McDaniel for an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/ronna-mcdaniel-says-there-was-tension-between-rnc-and-trump-campaign-over-debates-full-interview-207575621720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on the relationship between the Trump campaign and the RNC in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
“Let me deal with the elephant in the room,” Todd said, looking at Welker. “I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation because I don’t know what to believe. [McDaniel] is now a paid contributor by NBC News. I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn’t want to mess up her contract.”
“She wants us to believe that she was speaking for the RNC when the RNC was paying for her, so she has credibility issues that she still has to deal with,” Todd added. “Is she speaking for herself or is she speaking on behalf of who is paying for her?”
In his critique of NBC, Todd did not mention former RNC Chair Michael Steele, who has worked as a regular MSNBC contributor since 2011. Steele endorsed Joe Biden in his 2020 run against Trump and <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/24/lincoln-project-michael-steele-former-head-rnc-joins-anti-trump-group/5625888002/">joined</a> the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.
In a follow-up post on Tuesday night, Trump continued to berate NBC executives for allowing Todd &#8220;to publicly scold them,&#8221; and said he would&#8217;ve advised McDaniel to go by her maiden name Romney to secure the job at the Left-leaning network. McDaniel is the niece of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).
&#8220;What boss or executive would allow a man or woman, in this case Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd, who was fired for dismal performance coupled with horrendous television ratings, to publicly SCOLD them as to their weakness &amp; stupidity in hiring Ronna McDaniel[?]&#8221; Trump asked. &#8220;Actually, they should be scolded for hiring &#8216;Sleepy&#8217; for Meet the Fake Press, and keeping him on so long despite his poor performing skills, bad ratings, and bias.&#8221;
&#8220;The sick degenerates over at MSDNC are really running NBC, and there seems nothing Chairman Brian Roberts can do about it. Watching Chuck Todd, of all people, viciously giving Roberts a piece of his small mind, and then berating him for hiring Ronna without his, or the other lunatics, approval, was just a step too far,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;Brian’s great father would have fired Chuck Todd, and all the rest of these losers, on the spot. Perhaps Brian still will. If I knew Ronna was going to troubled MSNBC, I would have advised her to change her name back to Romney, she would have had a better chance!&#8221;

GOP Leaders Rip NBC For Dropping Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Days After Hiring Her

Joe Scarborough

Mike Johnson

NBC News released a statement on Tuesday afternoon announcing that former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ronna-mcdaniel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronna McDaniel</a> is out at the network just days after the company announced that they had hired her to be a contributor.
NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde made the announcement in a memo to employees after multiple on-air hosts at MSNBC lashed out at the company during their news shows.
&#8220;There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the News Group. After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.&#8221;
&#8220;I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Our initial decision was made because of our deep commitment to presenting our audiences with a widely diverse set of viewpoints and experiences, particularly during these consequential times.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Conde said that the network was committed to its &#8220;principle that we must have diverse viewpoints on our programs,&#8221; which means that they will &#8220;redouble&#8221; their efforts to &#8220;seek voices that represent different parts of the political spectrum.&#8221;
The problems at NBC News created additional problems for McDaniel as Creative Artists Agency, the Hollywood talent agency that negotiated her deal, ended its relationship with her, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/nbc-news-ronna-mcdaniel-contributor-1235860170/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
McDaniel is now focused exploring her legal options following her termination from the network.

NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd slammed his network during a Sunday broadcast of &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; after NBC hired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor.
Todd discussed McDaniel&#8217;s hiring with journalist Kristen Welker, who recently sat down with McDaniel for an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/ronna-mcdaniel-says-there-was-tension-between-rnc-and-trump-campaign-over-debates-full-interview-207575621720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on the relationship between the Trump campaign and the RNC in the aftermath of the 2020 election. McDaniel stepped down from her role as chair of the RNC following a private meeting in February with former President Donald Trump, who tapped her to lead the party after his 2016 presidential election victory.
“Let me deal with the elephant in the room,&#8221; Todd said, looking at Welker. &#8220;I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation because I don’t know what to believe. [McDaniel] is now a paid contributor by NBC News. I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn’t want to mess up her contract.&#8221;
&#8220;She wants us to believe that she was speaking for the RNC when the RNC was paying for her, so she has credibility issues that she still has to deal with,&#8221; Todd added. &#8220;Is she speaking for herself or is she speaking on behalf of who is paying for her?”
Todd went on to say that he believes many NBC journalists &#8220;are uncomfortable&#8221; with McDaniel&#8217;s hiring &#8220;because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting, have been met with character assassination.&#8221;
&#8220;When NBC made the decision to give her NBC News&#8217; credibility, you have to ask yourself, &#8216;What does she bring NBC News?'&#8221;
Todd added that there&#8217;s an argument to be made for the network bringing McDaniel on to get more access to the Republican Party.
&#8220;If you told me we were hiring her as a technical adviser to the Republican convention, I think that would be certainly defensible,&#8221; he said.
In his critique of NBC, Todd did not mention former RNC Chair Michael Steele, who has worked as a regular MSNBC contributor since 2011. Steele endorsed Joe Biden in his 2020 run against Trump and <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/24/lincoln-project-michael-steele-former-head-rnc-joins-anti-trump-group/5625888002/">joined</a> the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.

McDaniel officially announced her resignation weeks before the RNC <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-whatley-lara-trump-elected-to-lead-rnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elected</a> Michael Whatley as chair and Trump&#8217;s daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair of the party.
“President Trump deserves to have the team he wants in place at the RNC,” McDaniel said.
“I will do everything possible to re-elect President Trump in November,” she added. “And I ask all of you out there who worked so hard during this primary season or supported another candidate, that you come in and join me in supporting our president as well.”
Todd was ripped for his comments on &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; as many conservatives pointed out that many who are employed by NBC News, including Todd, previously worked for Democrats.
&#8220;Chuck Todd was a Dem staffer. Tim Russert was a Dem staffer. George [Stephanopoulos] was a senior Dem WH staffer. Jen Psaki was a senior Dem WH staffer. But, NBC hired a Republican??!!?!

Chuck Todd Blasts His Own Network On-Air For Hiring Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel

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>
Former interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile echoed former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in voicing concerns about the potential impact of third-party candidates on the 2024 presidential election — and, specifically, President Joe Biden&#8217;s reelection chances.
Brazile warned on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; that third-party candidates like independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or anyone the more moderate No Labels group could put forward might be able to draw votes away from an increasingly unpopular President Biden.

Vice President Kamala Harris also sat for an interview that aired on Sunday morning, and she was asked to weigh in on the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group Hamas, which is currently playing out in Gaza.
When asked whether the United States was prepared to move forward with &#8220;consequences&#8221; for Israel if a planned offensive in Rafah is carried out — on offensive that Prime Minister Netanyahu has warned would not be derailed even by pressure from the Biden administration — Harris was noncommittal: &#8220;I am ruling out nothing.&#8221;

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) joined host Margaret Brennan on CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; where he addressed the continuing fallout from the Biden administration&#8217;s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
McCaul said that he had made it a priority to ensure that the most recent government funding bill included provisions for special visas for the Afghan nationals who had helped the U.S.: &#8220;We left them behind and that was the biggest sin of the Afghan evacuation.&#8221;

Also featured on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; was in an interview with Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens, who made it clear that the chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border is an ongoing &#8220;national security threat.&#8221;
Given the number of illegal immigrants who have entered the United States since President Biden took office — and immediately removed the majority of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s border security measures — Owens said, &#8220;What&#8217;s keeping me up at night is the 140,000 known&#8221; illegal immigrants who have made it into the United States in fiscal year 2024 alone.

On NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press,&#8221; anchor Kristen Welker sat down with retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, where they discussed the 2022 decision that overturned the 1973 landmark abortion case Roe v.

Breyer also said that he had always thought there would be a way to find a compromise on the issue, adding, &#8220;I always think it&#8217;s possible usually up to the last minute.&#8221;

<h3>FOX, &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221;:</h3>
&#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Shannon Bream highlighted President Joe Biden&#8217;s campaign and its focus on the Affordable Care Act and new EPA emission standards. Biden — with former President Barack Obama&#8217;s help — has campaigned on preserving the ACA, and just last week announced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-administration-set-to-complete-regulations-targeting-gas-powered-vehicles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new EPA standards</a>.
&#8220;For light-duty vehicles, EPA is proposing standards that would increase in stringency each year over a six-year period, from MYs 2027–2032,” the EPA stated. “The proposed standards are projected to result in an industry-wide average target for the light-duty fleet of 82 grams/mile (g/mile) of CO2 in MY 2032, representing a 56 percent reduction in projected fleet average GHG emissions target levels from the existing MY 2026 standards.&#8221;

<h3>MSNBC, &#8220;Inside With Jen Psaki&#8221;:</h3>
Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki spoke with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) about the dwindling Republican majority in the House — and a potential shake-up in Republican leadership — and the two appeared to conclude that it would not be long before House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was handed the gavel.
&#8220;Could you see a scenario where Democrats take the majority even before Election Day?&#8221; Psaki asked.
&#8220;Hakeem will be next and soon, now, that could happen,&#8221; Pelosi replied. &#8220;But the fact is, the disrespect for the institution with these motions to vacate, the disrespect for the Republicans in the Congress with the departure of these Republicans takes them to a precarious place. But I remind that I at the end only had a margin of two because of one thing and another when we had the majority, and we still got our work done. We passed a record — historic agenda under the leadership of President Biden, and working with the House and the Senate in a very, shall we say, respectful and collaborative way.&#8221;

Vice President Harris Visits Selma, Alabama For Annual Bloody Sunday Commemoration

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 36: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss took the media furor over former President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;bloodbath&#8221; comments to new heights during a Monday appearance on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe.&#8221;
During an Ohio campaign rally over the weekend, Trump predicted a &#8220;bloodbath&#8221; if he does not win reelection in 2024, and media outlets fell all over themselves trying to make it look as though he was predicting politically motivated violence and a literal bloodbath. They left out <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/medias-wall-to-wall-coverage-of-trump-bloodbath-comment-delivers-zero-context" target="_blank" rel="noopener">important context</a>, however — namely that he had made the comment while talking about the potential impact of a car company owned by Communist China building vehicles in Mexico in order to evade U.S. tariffs.
Beschloss left out the context as well — and suggested that Trump would promote political violence whether he won or lost.

Host Mika Brzezinski set him up to take that particular path, claiming as she introduced him that Trump was beginning to sound &#8220;more and more like a fascist&#8221; and complaining that too few people knew history well enough to recognize the signs.
&#8220;There&#8217;s that vulnerability that Trump preys upon,&#8221; Brzezinski said. &#8220;And then there are those who are making the choice — I need to understand that. Is there any precedent, or is this how fascism works?&#8221;
Brzezinski went on to suggest that no one could support Trump unless they were either compromised or uneducated. &#8220;Are they sucked in and brought in on different terms whether Trump has something on some Republican leaders or others are just so uninformed — they don&#8217;t care. Is it a mixture? How does it work? Is there a precedent?&#8221;
&#8220;I totally agree with what you just said,&#8221; Beschloss told Brzezinski. &#8220;That&#8217;s how fascism and totalitarianism and — in Germany&#8217;s case, the Holocaust came to Germany, which had been a country where there were big institutions of democracy until as you well know, the early 1930s.&#8221;
&#8220;In a way, Donald Trump has done us all a favor,&#8221; Beschloss continued, arguing that Trump was making it easier for people to identify the risk of fascism by telling the American people who he was when he made such comments.
&#8220;A major party candidate is saying, &#8216;You elect me, there’s going to be dictatorship, bloodbath, violence, retribution against my political enemies that equals what we saw in Germany and Italy and other places,'&#8221; he said, suggesting that even if Trump were to win his reelection bid, political violence would necessarily follow.
