Catherine Herridge Says CBS Bosses Blocked Musk Interview Because They ‘Don’t Know What He’s Going to Say’ https://truthbasedmedia.com/catherine-herridge-says-cbs-bosses-blocked-musk-interview-because-they-dont-know-what-hes-going-to-say/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/catherine-herridge-says-cbs-bosses-blocked-musk-interview-because-they-dont-know-what-hes-going-to-say/#respond Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:10:39 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/catherine-herridge-says-cbs-bosses-blocked-musk-interview-because-they-dont-know-what-hes-going-to-say/ In a video for her newsletter subscribers, Herridge described the challenges she faced at CBS covering the Hunter Biden laptop story and the “Twitter files,” which Musk shared with independent journalists after buying Twitter.

Herridge said she “went to the CBS executives and I said, this is the opportunity that we have. [Musk’s] saying, I want to do it live and on my platform, as The New York Post reported.

“He’s one of the most influential human beings on the planet, and the reaction from the executives was, well, we can’t do it live. And I was like, what do you mean we can’t do it live? I was like, well, we don’t know what he’s going to say,” she continued.

“Well, you know, it has to be taped. We have to have the ability to edit it. It has to be on our platform. We have to control the platform. We talked at one point about whether we could do it sort of like a simulcast between the streaming network and maybe X, but everything just got shut down.”

The Fallout

Herridge never followed up with Musk to clarify the situation since CBS’s actions made her feel humiliated. She reasoned that Musk’s dedication to free speech would have made it hard for him to understand what was happening.

After buying Twitter, Musk changed internal practices that censored conservative users and words and gave the “Twitter files” to independent media. In subsequent versions, he made numerous operational improvements to platform X and renamed it. […]

DeSantis Lays Out Plans to Replace Senator Rubio https://truthbasedmedia.com/desantis-lays-out-plans-to-replace-senator-rubio/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/desantis-lays-out-plans-to-replace-senator-rubio/#respond Thu, 21 Nov 2024 12:37:35 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/desantis-lays-out-plans-to-replace-senator-rubio/ Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R) issued a statement on his plans to appoint a replacement for Marco Rubio (R) as the longtime senator prepares to serve in a second Trump administration.

“Florida deserves a Senator who will help President Trump deliver on his election mandate, be strong on immigration and border security, take on the entrenched bureaucracy and administrative state, reverse the nation’s fiscal decline, be animated by conservative principles, and has a proven record of results,” DeSantis wrote on X.

DeSantis on replacing Rubio

Trump has nominated Rubio, a senator since 2011 and former 2015 primary rival, to lead the State Department.

DeSantis said he would make a decision on Rubio’s replacement by early January – and several candidates have already expressed interest.

Rubio is one of the more conventional nominees in Trump’s prospective Cabinet, which includes a number of controversial picks. Rubio is not likely to encounter much opposition in the Senate, where he has the support of the new Republican majority and some Democrats. […]

Gavin Newsom (D) is handling the state’s illegal immigration problem.

Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill recently spoke with Fox 11 about the situation.

He did so, according to the outlet, “after federal authorities located 21 migrants on a boat near Newport Thursday evening.”

O’Neill actually went so far as to publicly tell Newsom to “get his act together.”

Here is what happened:

The 21 individuals were apprehended by the United States Coast Guard just off the coast of Newport Beach, California, on Thursday evening. The came after officials noticed a suspicious boat about a mile away from the shore. […]

Neil Gorsuch Invokes P’Nut the Squirrel in Critique of Government Overreach https://truthbasedmedia.com/neil-gorsuch-invokes-pnut-the-squirrel-in-critique-of-government-overreach/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/neil-gorsuch-invokes-pnut-the-squirrel-in-critique-of-government-overreach/#respond Wed, 20 Nov 2024 13:06:36 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/neil-gorsuch-invokes-pnut-the-squirrel-in-critique-of-government-overreach/ The sad saga of P’nut the rescue squirrel captured the country’s attention last month after the lovable online sensation was seized and euthanized by authorities in New York state.

Last week, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch used the tragic story of the late rodent to illustrate what he believes is the scourge of governmental overreach that currently plagues the nation, as The Hill reports.

The P’nut analogy

It was during the Federalist Society’s annual gala dinner on Thursday that Gorsuch offered attendees his thoughts on sweeping government overreach and the everyday impact it can have.

Speaking to an assemblage of prominent conservative attorneys, the high court justice drew on current events to make his point.

“I’ve just seen too many cases like that. You have just the other day, some of you might have seen one in the newspaper, if the newspapers are to be believed,” Gorsuch began. […]

Ilhan Omar has long been notorious for expressing vocal opposition to the state of Israel.

That proclivity was on full display earlier this week when the radical lawmaker was caught on video lashing out at pro-Israel protesters.

Omar uses profanity when dealing with protestors

According to Israel National News, the incident played out on Wednesday afternoon as Omar and her staff were preparing to board an elevator on Capitol Hill.

“Why do you stand with Hamas? Why don’t you condemn Hamas? Do you like Hamas and Hezbollah?” one demonstrator could be heard shouting at the Minnesota Democrat. […]

Yet one former Trump White House advisor recently said that Republicans go further and block all of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees.

Steve Bannon: “We ain’t going to approve one judge”

According to Newsweek, that suggestion was put forward by Steve Bannon during Monday’s episode of his “War Room” podcast.

“We ain’t going to approve one judge,” was quoted as telling his listeners. “No federal judges because guess what? CNN and MSNBC and Lawrence Tribe and all of it, we control the Supreme Court.” […]

Reports Reveal Existence of Secret Back up Jet That Can Serve as Air Force One in Emergency Situations https://truthbasedmedia.com/reports-reveal-existence-of-secret-back-up-jet-that-can-serve-as-air-force-one-in-emergency-situations/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/reports-reveal-existence-of-secret-back-up-jet-that-can-serve-as-air-force-one-in-emergency-situations/#respond Fri, 15 Nov 2024 05:26:57 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/reports-reveal-existence-of-secret-back-up-jet-that-can-serve-as-air-force-one-in-emergency-situations/ Most Americans are familiar with the presidential jet commonly referred to as Air Force One, a specially modified Boeing 747 with an iconic blue and white paint scheme that carries the president around the country and the world.

Less well-known is the fact that the president is typically followed by a smaller jet that, in case of an emergency, can fill in as an Air Force One replacement, per a report.

That smaller jet, if used to transport the president during an emergency, would also then be known as Air Force One, as that designation follows the president and is applied to any fixed-wing aircraft they may use — Marine One being the designation for any helicopter or rotary aircraft used by the president.

Air Force One

The aircraft commonly called Air Force One is known in military parlance as a VC-25, one of two specially modified Boeing 747 passenger jets that are outfitted with advanced communications and electronics equipment and other necessary accommodations for the nation’s chief executive and those who travel with them.

The VC-25s, which are stationed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland near Washington D.C., have been in service since 1990 and feature a host of other special performance capabilities not available on the civilian versions of the aircraft. […]

However, many of those supporters are now hoping that his election will lead to them getting a pardon.

Trump pledges to “review the cases of every political prisoner”

That’s according to The Hill, which cited a statement which the then-candidate made while speaking at a September rally in Wisconsin.

“The moment we win, we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime, and I will sign their pardons on Day 1,” The Hill quoted him as saying.

Some of those individuals are being represented by Carmen Hernandez, a lawyer who has defended members of groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. […]
