Biden interviewers shed light on his frailty behind the scenes: ‘It’s impossible not to notice’

[ad_1]


The legacy media has faced intense scrutiny in recent weeks over its past coverage of President Biden, with critics accusing journalists of covering up his mental decline, which was on full display at last month’s presidential debate. Perhaps the only members of the media, besides the White House press corps, who have had exposure to the generally media-reclusive president are those who have been able to interview him. Biden has shattered norms by granting fewer interviews than any other American president in modern history. Those reporters able to sit down with him were given a rare window to observe whether Biden’s mental health is as bad as his conservative critics say it is or as good as his liberal defenders claim. Fox News Digital reached out to 20 Biden interviewers during his presidency. Only two were willing to speak, on the condition of anonymity. ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS AFTER BIDEN INTERVIEW: ‘I DON’T THINK HE CAN SERVE FOUR MORE YEARS’The first interviewer, who has had several interactions with Biden over the years, saw that he was « stiffer physically » when interviewing him this year.  « I noticed this especially in the context of his age and the reports of his being frail. He was, » the interviewer told Fox News Digital. « His eyes were watery, once seemed maybe irritated, a bit glassy. » »I was left with the impression that he is old, and it’s impossible not to notice this and be focused on it. His voice is so soft, » the interviewer added. The interviewer did acknowledge that Biden was « fine with small talk » and that « nothing stood out as unusual » as far as witnessing any mental lapses. « I don’t know if it’s what people want as president, » the interviewer said. « But what I’ve seen isn’t as good as his defenders say and not as bad as his haters say. »CRITICS PILE ON BIDEN FOLLOWING ABC INTERVIEW, BLAST HIS REFUSAL TO COMMIT TO COGNITIVE TEST: ‘DISQUALIFYING’The second interviewer, who has similarly crossed paths with Biden in the past, noticed in their exchange last year that the president « walked a little stiffly across the room » but was « engaged, responsive and able to address my questions. » »I will say he was careful not to go on at length with answers, » the second interviewer told Fox News Digital. « It was clear he was trying to edit himself, possibly because he’d been coached to keep answers short. »Both interviewers expressed frustration about their years-long efforts to get their sit-downs with Biden on the books and pointed out how his team was « upset » that their conversations went longer than the allotted time they were granted. »They were clearly guarding him carefully, » the second interviewer told Fox News Digital. Biden’s inner circle appear to be especially on guard in his post-debate interviews. Two local radio hosts admitted in the past week that they were given questions to ask by the president’s team. One of them has already been ousted from her radio station. Not every interviewer has been completely silent about their experiences with the president.Former ESPN host Sage Steele spoke candidly about her March 2021 interview with Biden and how he « trailed off » in their conversation. « It was satellite, it wasn’t in person. We’re having a technical issue. And so I had to, like, BS. I had to chitchat waiting for us to start rolling, » Steele told Bill Maher on his « Club Random » podcast last fall. « Well, what he started to do, of course he has someone next to him, and they keep a black, like, curtain over the lens of the camera, so you can’t see him until the last second, but you can hear, and we’re chitchatting… So I can hear him, and he goes, ‘What is this for?’… And he’s, like, ‘Who am I talking to? Wait—what’s her name?' » »This is like a ‘Naked Gun’ movie, » Maher quipped. BIDEN REPEATEDLY DODGES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER HE’D TAKE NEUROLOGICAL TEST: ‘NO ONE SAID I HAD TO' »I was going, ‘Oh, my God!' » Steele exclaimed. « And then he said, ‘SportsCenter. ESPN.’ And he goes, ‘Oh, ok.’ And so I said, you know, what do you say? ‘Hi, Mr. President. Nice to meet you.’ And so I’m trying just to fill time. And he said, ‘You know, I used to play football’… And so he started to tell football stories of his greatness. And again, I can’t see him. You can see the curtain… He goes, ‘And I have the best hands.’ What do you say to that? »She later continued, « And then I said, ‘Oh, so you were a receiver.’ And he started to explain it. And here’s the saddest thing — his voice just trailed off. He said, ‘I was good,’ and then he went silent, and he goes, ‘Uhh… never mind.’ »In an interview with Fox News Digital earlier this year, Steele revealed that her questions had been « scripted » by ESPN. »That was an interesting experience in its own right because it was so structured, » Steele said. « And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’ » Many of the questions Steele asked Biden in the March 2021 interview pertained to sports leagues attempting to restore normalcy during the COVID pandemic and vaccine hesitancy among athletes and fans. Her interview made headlines at the time when Biden supported the MLB’s All-Star game boycott of Atlanta following the passage of Georgia’s election reform law.But everything Steele said to the president ultimately came from ESPN’s c-suite, according to the former ESPN host. NY TIMES TOP WHITE HOUSE SCRIBE USES ‘TRANSLATION HEADSETS’ TO UNDERSTAND BIDEN WHEN HE ‘STARTS TO MUMBLE’ »To the word. Every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives. Absolutely. I was on script and was told not to deviate, » Steele told Fox News Digital. « It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next.’ … This went up to the fourth floor, as we said, where all the bosses, the top executives, the decision makers are, the president of our company, the CEO, where they all worked. »Steele said she didn’t know for certain whether ESPN sent the questions to the White House in advance of the interview but seemed confident that is « what happened. » ESPN declined to comment. CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley, one of very few journalists who landed multiple interviews with Biden, offered a disclaimer to « 60 Minutes » viewers ahead of the president’s first sit-down following the Oct. 7 terrorist attack against Israel. »Late Thursday we met President Biden at the White House. It had been a rough week, and we could see it on him, » Pelley said. »Mr. Biden will be 81 next month, and he has said when he is tired, his lifelong stutter can creep back in, » Pelley added, bracing viewers for what to expect from the president in the interview. Time magazine’s Massimo Calabresi, who interviewed Biden just weeks before the CNN debate, said the president « appears very much as he appears on TV » when he spoke with him. »He is older than when he started in office. It‘s visible if you just look side-by-side on the tape, » Calabresi told CNN’s Jake Tapper. « The transcript is a good place for people to go to assess that. He was — we describe it in the piece as well, there’s some sort of colored description of how he appeared in there. »ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, who sat down with Biden in last week’s high-stakes interview, said bluntly according to TMZ, « I don’t think he can serve four more years. » BIDEN PANNED FOR NOT BEING CERTAIN ABOUT WHETHER HE WATCHED THE DEBATE: ‘HE DOESN’T KNOW???’In June 2022, the Associated Press landed one of Biden’s only print interviews during his presidency. In the transcript of that interview released by the AP, it described parts of Biden’s quotes as « inaudible » 11 times and « garble » twice, signaling how the president regularly fumbles over his words. « If I had told you (garble) … You’re not doing (inaudible), » one quote read from the interview transcript. Biden also went viral last year for wandering off set on live television as MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace wrapped up their interview. »Before the debate there were brief moments when Biden’s cognitive fitness emerged as a major focus of the press corps, including after Biden’s ‘Where’s Jackie?’ gaffe of September 2022, when the briefing room devolved into a testy prosecution of Karine Jean-Pierre’s ‘top of mind’ excuse — with loudly shouted questions about the president’s mental acuity coming from journalists who do not work for outlets with conservative opinion sections, » one White House reporter told Fox News Digital. « However, on most pre-debate days, questions about Biden’s age and ability to serve a full second term were regarded as rude and best handled with extreme delicacy. Now, it’s socially acceptable to ask nearly any question about Biden’s mental health. »The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

GREG GUTFELD: Biden is like ‘the mad King, a senile dude’ who can barely hold on to the presidency

[ad_1]


So with each passing day, it becomes clear that we’re living in a country run by a demented royal family. You got the mad King, a senile dude who can barely hold onto the presidency, much less his own bowels. You got the evil Queen, an ego-mad status seeker who demands to be called a doctor even though she’s not. It’s a doctorate in education. That’s like demanding to be called a pilot, because a flight attendant once pinned some wings on your shirt when you were 12. True, getting a doctorate in education is about as hard to acquire as a horse burger at my slaughterhouse. And of course, there’s the entitled Prince, a cut rate Caligula, whose idea of a family outing is an orgy. It feels like they need their own theme song. GREG GUTFELD: DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA HAVE BEEN EXPOSEDLet’s start at the top. The guy’s hanging by a thread and that thread is hanging by a hair plug. On Monday, Joe sent a letter saying he’s staying in. I’m told we have a copy of it. It reads in part, quote, ‘’The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party. Do we now just say this process didn’t matter, that the voters don’t have a say? »Well, in truth, Democrat voters have less choice than the orphans I hire to shave my back. In short, the letter says we successfully lied to you. It’s too late, —- off. It’s defiant. He is raging not just against the Democrats, but against the dying of the light. He’s saying to the Dems, come and get me. Will they? Not if the evil Queen can help it. During a solo campaign stop in North Carolina yesterday, Jill claimed Joe is all in. If she means entombed, she’s right. He supported your career? What exactly did he do for your career other than marry you? He didn’t stop being a senator so you could go to fake doctor school. You were a substitute teacher. You weren’t separating conjoined twins. So, like one of those sign language interpreters, you see her now at every event, front and center, waving her arms like she’s warning people away from a bathroom that Jerry Nadler just left. The signal is a vote for Joe is a vote for me. She’s like Leonard Skynyrd. Yeah, they still tour, even though everyone’s dead. And yet the media is terrified to call her out because she’d do anything to stay where she is. She doesn’t want to go back to Delaware. No one does. The only thing in Delaware worth seeing are the signs to New Jersey. But her compassion is as phony as her degree. She should be teaching summer school to the slow kids but instead masquerades as the good wife as she pushes her confused husband into traffic. And how will that play out? Joe can’t resign. She’ll be seen as the villain. It’ll be humiliating. No more parties. No more expensive dresses. No more spots on ‘The View’, gagging on the persistent, pungent blasts of Whoopi’s farts. So she’s forcing him to do this? Not for his health. He’s dying. This is for her. And she knew these days were coming. Don’t scream, just talk. That’s exactly what I say to Judge Jeanine. But they let her talk and she doesn’t. Maybe she really is the acting president. Pretty obvious that Jill is the one out there campaigning because Joe can’t. If you wanted to prove that the debate was a one-off disaster, he’d be out there proving it. Instead, all he did yesterday was call in with morning breath and yell. But to his credit, at least he didn’t try to order a pizza. And for once, people saying he’s lost his mind weren’t talking about Scarborough. Yeah, but what about the Prince? Joe’s fun-loving son, Hunter, is now the commander-in-chief’s de facto gatekeeper. More like de facto crypt keeper. But this job is right up Hunter’s alley. Hunter is used to holing up in hotel rooms for weeks at a time, planning and plotting. And who better to give Joe something to keep him awake? We already know how he can get cocaine delivered right to the White House. It’s weird that after all of this, Hunter is in the Oval Office. Can you believe that? From a halfway house to the White House. From crackhead to Lincoln’s bed, from meth pipes to stars and stripes. All of this is insane. You know, they told you that if you didn’t vote for Joe, the White House would be occupied by a power-hungry tyrant who refuses to leave office even when everyone knows he’s unfit and that a convicted felon would be running the country. Guess they were right.

SEAN HANNITY: They all lied, this is the ‘Joe Biden cognitive decline cover-up’

[ad_1]


Fox News host Sean Hannity addresses calls for President Biden to ‘step aside’ as some Democrats and those from the media are now « all acting shocked. »SEAN HANNITY: Top Democrats have now called on his [Trump] opponent, Joe Biden, to step down. We’ve been hearing it since the debate. Multiple editorial boards have done the same. Left wing hosts, pundits, cable news have been pleading with Joe to please leave the race. Many of Biden’s friends and allies publicly diagnosing him with dementia, and said he was not capable of serving another four years. Even George Stephanopoulos, who just interviewed Biden, said he doesn’t think Biden can serve another term. This has been transparent. This has been obvious for over four years, as President Trump addressed this tonight as a huge cover-up. But everyone around Biden, every Democrat, the state-run media mob, they have all been involved in the Joe Biden cognitive decline cover-up. They all lied. And now they’re all acting shocked. They’re feigning surprise. ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS AFTER BIDEN INTERVIEW: ‘I DON’T THINK HE CAN SERVE FOUR MORE YEARS’…And another, you know, lie of historic proportions. And they’ve known the whole time. And with that said, while Joe Biden in many ways just had the best day since the debate, with the help of his usual teleprompter, the President delivered a whopping and a pretty decent 15-minute speech for him in front of NATO. Donald Trump’s speech just went on nearly an hour and twenty minutes. Well, it should be, by the way, a 15-minute speech, a layup for any U.S. president, especially with a teleprompter. Well, for President Biden, it was high drama all day long. All eyes on Biden. Article after article, the world is watching, our allies are watching.

New York Times, Politico, others criticized for ‘offensive’ obituaries on deceased former GOP senator

[ad_1]


The New York Times, Associated Press, Politico and the Huffington Post all ran headlines critical of former Sen. James M. Inhofe when news of his death broke.Prominent news organizations were quick to criticize the Oklahoma Republican’s stance on the environment in their obituaries when he died on Tuesday at the age of 89. Inhofe, Oklahoma’s longest serving senator from 1994 to 2023, led the Environment Committee and was known for his strong opinions on climate change and global warming. »Longtime former Oklahoma Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe, one of the most vehement climate change deniers to ever walk the halls of Congress, has died at age 89, the Tulsa World reported Tuesday, » HuffPost wrote in the first sentence of it’s article announcing his death. The article recalled how Inhofe famously brought a snowball onto the Senate floor in February 2015, which the outlet described as « an embarrassing attempt to prove that climate change is not real. »The Associated Press’ headline characterized Inhofe as a « defense hawk who called human-caused climate change a ‘hoax.’ »CRITICS ACCUSE BUTTIGIEG OF ‘PLAYING POLITICS’ AFTER COMMENT LINKING TURBULENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGEPolitico published its article with the initial headline, « Former Sen. Jim Inhode, who called climate change a ‘hoax,’ dead at 89, » which Sen. Ted Cruz’s, R-Texas, communications director Darin Miller called « highly offensive. »After criticism, Politico changed it to « Former Sen. Jim Inhofe dead at 89. »Billy Gribbin, communications director for Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said, « Politico, utterly classless, finding the worst way to mention the passing of the longest serving Senator from Oklahoma and a Senate institution. »He then followed up, « Good, they changed it. »A Politico spokesperson told Fox News Digital, « Headlines are regularly A/B tested and switched on a rotation, based on a number of factors, including engagement. »GOP SEN. INHOFE GIVING OUT ‘CLIMATE HYPOCRITE AWARDS’ FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE WEEKThe New York Times remembered his life with the headline: « James M. Inhofe, Senator Who Denied Climate Change, Dies at 89. » Radio host Erick Erickson compared the headline to the Gray Lady’s obituaries for Democratic Sens. « Edward M. Kennedy, Senate Stalwart, Is Dead at 77, » and « Robert C. Byrd, a Pillar of the Senate, Dies at 92. » « One killed a lady. Another was a leader in the KKK. But then there’s that other guy… » Erickson wrote, referencing Kennedy, Byrd and Inhofe, respectively. »James M. Inhofe, a five-term Republican senator from Oklahoma and, until President Donald J. Trump’s arrival in 2017, arguably Washington’s most prominent denier of the established science of human-generated climate change, died on Tuesday in Tulsa, Okla. He was 89, » the lead paragraph of the Times article read. The newspaper also described him as « the capital’s most vociferous denier of climate change, repeatedly calling it a hoax perpetrated by environmentalists, their liberal allies in the news media and ‘extremists who simply don’t like capitalism, free markets and freedom.’ »Inhofe passed away peacefully Tuesday morning surrounded by his wife Kay, his children and other family members, a former senior aide told Fox News. Inhofe reportedly suffered a stroke around the Fourth of July holiday.Fox News Digital also reached out to The New York Times, the Associated Press and HuffPost for comment.

Will Ferrell was ‘so embarrassed’ by his real name growing up

What’s really in a name? During Tuesday’s episode of Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s « MeSsy » podcast, Will Ferrell opened up about an embarrassing childhood memory that haunts him to this day. « Who is 10-year-old Will? » Applegate asked.After detailing his straight-to-curly hair transformation period, Ferrell said, « At an early age, I still liked to make my friends laugh. »HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO HAVE MADE HISTORY AND ONLY GO BY ONE NAMEHowever, the funny man admitted to feeling self-conscious about one thing in particular: his real name. « This is a minor thing in terms of – it’s not really even trauma – but I remember feeling so embarrassed because my real name is John, John William Ferrell, so first day of school, I’d be John, » he recalled. « The teacher would be like ‘John Ferrell?’ and it was so embarrassing to me to have to say ‘Here, but I go by Will, I don’t go by John.' »CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERFerrell said it took his teachers quite a bit to catch on, a time period that was « excruciating » for the actor. »I don’t know why it was so embarrassing to me to have to explain, ‘I’m actually Will,' » he added. « People are probably going to be listening to this going, ‘This is the lamest thing ever.' » »We just lost anyone named John, » Applegate joked. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb sends warning shot to reporters ahead of his youth camp: ‘You’ll get 0 answers’

[ad_1]


NFL star receiver CeeDee Lamb’s focus this week is on impacting local youth at his football camp – not his contract situation with the Dallas Cowboys. So, before he even got to the field to see how the kids play, he sent a warning shot to reporters. »I’m not speaking about any contract negotiations, if that’s your questions…, » Lamb posted on X. « You’ll get 0 answers. It’s about the kids. »CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMOffseason talk around the Cowboys hasn’t just centered on owner Jerry Jones being conservative in free agency, but several key pieces are looking for new contracts, including Lamb. Quarterback Dak Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy are in the final year of their respective deals as well. COWBOYS SEEM TO BE ENTERING ‘LAME-DUCK YEAR,’ EX-NFL TEAM EXECUTIVE SAYSLamb is set to play on his fifth-year option, which was an easy pickup by the Cowboys after totaling a career-high 107 receptions and 1,359 yards with nine touchdowns in his third season in 2022. Then, Lamb followed up with a league-leading 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, once again breaking his career highs while helping Dallas get back to the playoffs. But Lamb has not been extended, which led to him being absent from the Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp. There’s been talk about whether Lamb will be showing up for the start of training camp later this month as well. Lamb’s importance to the Cowboys’ success since he was taken out of Oklahoma 17th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft has been very clear and he, like his teammates, wants to be compensated accordingly. According to Spotrac, Lamb is in line to be among the highest-paid receivers in the NFL with a market value of $34 million. Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson – who was taken five picks after Lamb – leads the pack financially after receiving his massive extension this offseason, which will pay him $35 million per season. Philadelphia Eagles veteran A.J. Brown also received an extension, which will pay him $32 million per season, while the Detroit Lions rewarded Amon-Ra St. Brown – a fourth-round pick in 2021 – with an extension paying out $30 million per season. The Cowboys certainly have some decisions to make when it comes to extensions, which includes star edge rusher Micah Parson after totaling 40.5 sacks over his first three seasons. Lamb knows what he wants, but he won’t be talking about it at his youth camp in Arlington. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Biden calls ‘Morning Joe,’ denounces media and political elites as Democrats warn of Trump victory

[ad_1]


President Biden’s ABC interview, given a huge buildup by the campaign itself, was a flop that changed no one’s mind about his ability to serve another four years.Biden was raspy and low energy with George Stephanopoulos, lost his train of thought or interrupted himself a couple of times, insisted he wasn’t frail, dismissed polls he didn’t like and appeared to be in denial about the depth of the crisis he is facing. He was better than the disastrous debate, but that’s a pretty low bar.It’s inexplicable to me that Biden let more than a week go by doing only rally speeches. He should be doing a half dozen interviews – not one – to demonstrate his mental acuity.But then it occurred to me that his inner circle doesn’t think he can do it. Doing multiple interviews is such an obvious move that the White House, which hid Biden’s condition from many of its own officials and residence staff, would have him out there if there was more confidence in his ability to avoid blunders.TEAM TRUMP SHARES WHY CAMPAIGN HAS STAYED SILENT AMID BIDEN DEBATE FALLOUTSo, yesterday, the president called in to his favorite show, « Morning Joe. » MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, who talks to Biden regularly, including in the last week or so, is his most vociferous defender on television. While Scarborough said after the debate meltdown that Biden should consider stepping aside, since then he’s really dug in on defense.Scarborough asked if Biden believed the Democrats are doing the same thing as Trump in 2020, trying to overthrow the popular will of Democratic voters. »The reason I’ve been out on the road so much all over the country, and while Trump is riding around his golf cart … I’ve been all over the country, number one, and I’ve run over the country for several reasons. One, to make sure my instinct was right about the party still wanting me to be the nominee, » Biden responded.Co-host Mika Brzezinski, to her credit, rattled off many of the critics who want the president to step aside. »The New York Times editorial board, The Economist, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Boston Globe. Jerry Nadler. Seth Moulton. Let me go to Julian Castro, Tim Ryan, David Axelrod — » »You’re kidding, » said Biden, who’s been angry at the former Obama-Biden White House official since he suggested last fall that Biden not run again. »David Remnick, Richard Haass … Zeke Emanuel. … These are pretty big names. »Biden’s response: « I don’t care what those big names think. They were wrong in 2020. They were wrong in 2022 about the red wave. They’re wrong in 2024. »And in a closing rant: « I’m getting so frustrated by the elites. Now, I’m not talking about you guys but about the elites in the party who they know so much more. If any of these guys don’t think I should run, run against me. »VULNERABLE DEM SENATOR BREAKS SILENCE ON BIDEN’S FITNESS, DEMANDS PRESIDENT PROVE ABILITYFormer GOP congressman Scarborough said Biden is well positioned to run against « media elites, New York Times editorial page, billionaire donors … Hollywood moguls. »With all due respect to everyone involved, Biden is a pillar of the Washington establishment least able to make that case. Thirty-six years in the Senate. Eight as vice president. Almost four as president. He worked with many of these Democrats in passing major legislation, sometimes with bipartisan support. They love the guy. These are his people. They just think Trump is going to trounce him.If you need further evidence that Biden’s team doesn’t trust him, look at two interviews that the president did with Black radio stations in Pennsylvania last week – an utterly routine task for any candidate.The White House sent a bunch of questions in advance, then argued that this was standard practice and not a condition of the interviews. No, it’s an ethical breach.Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who interviewed Biden on WURD-FM, acknowledged on CNN that she had used four of the advance questions, and the station has now fired her.Sara Lomax, CEO of WURD, said using pre-determined questions « violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners … WURD is not a mouthpiece for the Biden, or any other, administration. »Earl Ingram, a host at WMCS in Milwaukee, also admitted using the same four White House questions. The administration now says it will no longer send out suggested questions.But even though he knew what was coming, Biden still botched the Lawful-Sanders interview. He said he was proud to be « the first Black woman to serve with a Black president. » Huh? While hosting a NATO summit in Washington this week, Biden promised to hold a solo news conference, which will be a good test of his agility when answering aggressive questions, but should have already been done.Meanwhile, while a number of major donors say they won’t give the Democrats another dime if Biden remains the nominee, new information underscores the administration’s lack of candor.HOW THE PRINTING OF BALLOTS COULD PUT DEMOCRATS ON DEADLINE TO POTENTIALLY REPLACE BIDENKevin O’Connor, the White House doctor who has refused to do interviews, had a specialist in Parkinson’s disease meet with a medical liaison 10 times, beginning in 2022 and most recently in March. The role of that neurologist, Kevin Cannard, had not been previously disclosed. The White House issued a non-denial, saying a variety of specialists from Walter Reed visit the White House.Biden has repeatedly refused to take a neurological exam.Look, as someone who’s covered him since the 1980s, when he enjoyed talking to reporters, I can tell you that Biden has wanted to be president his whole adult life. He’s been written off many times. He’s extremely unlikely to give up the job now. And if that’s the case, with 99% of the delegates pledged to him, no one can take it away from him.Some media liberals and Democrats are talking about a « blitz primary » to see who emerges at the Chicago convention, or having Biden resign and hand the presidency to Kamala Harris, but none of that will happen without Biden’s acquiescence.Now to the role of the media.There is no question that the media failed miserably to penetrate a White House coverup of the president’s true condition. Maybe they could have been more aggressive. Maybe they were deterred by the strong White House pushback against those who focused on the 81-year-old president’s age, which has been in the news for months.We could all see the decline, from what was on television, that Biden was mumbling, stumbling and at times less than coherent. If you go back and look at Biden from 2020 or 2021, the difference is stark.When the Wall Street Journal reported a month ago that « Behind Closed Doors, Biden Is Seen As Slipping, » the story was widely denounced, including by the « Morning Joe » panel. Now others, from the New York Times to CNN’s Carl Bernstein, have reported even more damaging stories.On Sunday’s « Media Buzz, » Mollie Hemingway and Ben Shapiro argued that this was an open secret and that journalists were deliberately covering for the president. Mollie said the White House press corps should resign en masse.But in the following segment, I asked FOX’s senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich how much she sees Biden on the road, to which she responded « not at all. »The only exceptions, she said, were increasingly rare shouted questions and an occasional gaggle.Karine Jean-Pierre got absolutely hammered yesterday for not disclosing the visits of the Parkinson’s specialist, according to White House logs, but said she was barred by law from confirming any names for security reasons.I know Biden better than anyone at FOX, but I’ve had zero access to the president or his inner circle – which hasn’t stopped me from talking about the obvious decline we’ve all witnessed on television. And there’s no question that the overwhelmingly negative coverage of Trump, viewed by most journalists as a danger to democracy, is a factor here.But the idea that journalists were sitting on these secrets negates how bubble-wrapped and isolated the candidate who wouldn’t even do a Super Bowl interview has been kept by his longtime handlers.

Trump addresses calls for Biden to drop out of 2024 presidential race: He ‘doesn’t want to quit’

[ad_1]


Former President Trump said it seems like President Biden will stay in the 2024 race despite calls from some members of his own party to step down in the wake of his disastrous debate performance late last month. Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview Monday that Biden has an « ego » and he « doesn’t want to quit. » »It looks to me like he may very well stay, and he’s got an ego, and he doesn’t want to quit. He doesn’t want to do that. It just looks to me like that’s what he wants, » Trump said.TRUMP CHALLENGES BIDEN TO SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE- BUT THERE’S A CATCHBiden told House Democrats in a letter Monday that he’s staying in the race and is committed to beating Trump in November. BIDEN REMAINS DEFIANT AS PRESSURE MOUNTS TO WITHDRAW FROM PRESIDENTIAL RACE »We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin, » Biden’s letter read in part. »I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn’t be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024. »Trump said if Biden is forced out or steps down, he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will fill his shoes. « I think she’s an ineffective person. She was in charge of the border, she’s never been there, she didn’t do a good job, and she hasn’t done a job on a lot of things, » he told Hannity. »It would seem to me that from a political standpoint, that’s who they’re going with. They’re not even talking about alternatives. »The former president added that Biden has a lot of power due to the number of delegates he’s received thus far, so the only way Democrats can get him out of the race is by using the 25th Amendment. »I think unless they use the 25th amendment, which they’d use in a different sense, he has all the power. He has the delegates. He doesn’t have to get out. There’s nothing they can do to get him out, » Trump said. « So, he’ll get the nomination. »House Democrats held a virtual meeting over the weekend to discuss the future of Biden’s re-election campaign in the wake of his highly-criticized performance at the CNN Presidential Debate.Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reported that multiple ranking Democrats on House committees expressed their desire for Biden to step aside during a virtual meeting convened by Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. « I made clear publicly the day after the debate that I support President Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket, » Jeffries said. « My position has not changed. »Biden and Trump are poised to square off for another debate in September..

Jean-Pierre clashes with reporters pressing her about neurologist’s White House visits: ‘I do take offense’

[ad_1]


White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had an explosive exchange with CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe as the Biden administration faces intense scrutiny over recent revelations of the repeated White House visits of a Parkinson’s disease expert, fueling more questions about President Biden’s mental health. A series of reports, first reported by the New York Post, showed that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist from Walter Reed Military Medical Center who specializes in Parkinson’s disease, met several times with Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, over the past year. During Monday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre repeatedly would not confirm Cannard’s White House visits to reporters, citing security and privacy concerns despite the fact that Cannard’s name was listed in the public visitor logs.After Jean-Pierre dodged questions from Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller about whether Cannard’s visits pertained to Biden’s health, saying, « I’m not going to share people’s [doctors’] names, » O’Keefe lost his patience. PARKINSON’S DISEASE SPECIALIST MET WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PHYSICIAN IN WHITE HOUSE »It’s a very basic, direct question, » O’Keefe shouted, grabbing her attention. « That’s what you should be able to answer by this point. » »No, no, no, no, no, » Jean-Pierre immediately pushed back. « Ed, please. A little respect here. Please. » »So every year around the president’s physical examination, he sees a neurologist. That’s three times, right? So I am telling you that he has seen a neurologist three times while he has been in this presidency. That’s what I’m saying, » Jean-Pierre continued. « I’m telling you that he has seen him three times. That is what I’m sharing with you, right? So every time he has a physical, he has had to see a neurologist. So that is answering that question. »CRITICS PILE ON BIDEN FOLLOWING ABC INTERVIEW, BLAST HIS REFUSAL TO COMMIT TO COGNITIVE TEST: ‘DISQUALIFYING’ »No, it’s not, » O’Keefe doubled down. « Has Dr. Kevin Cannard come to the White House specifically about the president’s condition? » »Ed, I also said to you for security reasons, we cannot share names. We cannot share names, » she responded, adding « We cannot share names of specialists broadly from our dermatologist to neurologist. We cannot share names. There are security reasons-«  »They’re on the visitors log. It’s public, » O’Keefe pushed back. « I looked at it before I got here. It’s right there for anyone to see. » »Ed, I hear you, » Jean-Pierre told the reporter. « I cannot, from here, confirm any of that because we have to keep their privacy. I think they would appreciate that, too. »After O’Keefe got an assist from NBC correspondent Kelly O’Donnell, who also stressed that Cannard’s visitor logs are public, Jean-Pierre clamped down on the shoutfest. »There’s no reason to go back and forth with me in this aggressive way, » Jean-Pierre scolded the reporters. « Well, we are miffed around here about what has been shared with the press corps about him, » an exasperated O’Keefe said. « What are you miffed about? » Jean-Pierre responded. BIDEN REPEATEDLY DODGES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER HE’D TAKE NEUROLOGICAL TEST: ‘NO ONE SAID I HAD TO' »Everything he just asked about, » O’Keefe said pointing to Miller before knocking the press secretary’s recent « clean-up » over whether Biden had seen a doctor following last month’s debate.After disputing O’Keefe’s claim that she had to correct herself, Jean-Pierre reiterated, « I am telling you right now that I am not sharing, confirming names from here. It is a security reason. I am not going to do that, Ed. It doesn’t matter how hard you push me, it doesn’t matter how angry you get with me. I’m not going to confirm a name. It doesn’t matter if it’s even in the log. I am not going to do that from here. That is not something I am going to do. » « What I can share with you is that the president has seen a neurologist for his physical three times, three times, and it is in the reporting that we share a comprehensive reporting, » she said. « As a matter of fact, it’s more than what the last guy shared. And it is in line with what George W. Bush did. It’s in line with what Obama did. And so it is comprehensive. It is out there. I just read a quote from it, but I am not, I am not going to devolve somebody’s name in or confirm someone. I’m not going to do that… It doesn’t matter how hard you push me, it doesn’t matter how angry you get with me from here. I’m just not going to do that. It is inappropriate. It is not acceptable. So I’m not going to do it. »Several reporters went on to grill Jean-Pierre over why she wouldn’t share the doctor’s name, then she took a moment to address her heated spat with the CBS correspondent. »I just want to take a step back for a second because I do take offense to what Ed alluded to, » Jean-Pierre said. « You know, I come out here every day there’s a press briefing, and we do our best to give you the information that we have at the time. That’s what we do. And we understand that the freedom of the press, we respect the freedom of the press. You heard me talk about this last week. I appreciate the back and forth that we all have. I try to respect you and hope you try to respect me. And we literally do everything that we can- my team does everything that we can to make sure we get the answers to you. That’s what we do. » « And sometimes we disagree. Sometimes we are not in agreement. But you know what, that’s democracy. That is what is important, to have that healthy back and forth. And so, to say that I’m holding information or allude to anything else is not [fair]. It’s really, really unfair, » she said. »I think people who are watching, have been watching this briefing for this past week could say that we are doing our best in this briefing to provide the information that we have. And I will admit, I will be the first one to admit sometimes I get it wrong. At least I admit that. At least I admit that. And sometimes I don’t have the information. And I will always, always admit that. But I do take offense to what was just happening at the beginning of this briefing. It’s not okay, » she added. As O’Donnell explained why the press was trying to get clarity on why the name of the doctor wouldn’t be released, Jean-Pierre said, « Yeah. But the personal attacks is not okay. »

Trump VP choices are ’embarrassment of riches,’ the choice is imminent: Jason Miller

[ad_1]


Senior adviser for the Trump campaign Jason Miller said Monday that former President Trump is narrowing down candidates for his running mate and is close to making his final decision, perhaps as soon as this week. Trump’s vice presidential pick has gained increasing importance as multiple commentators and Biden allies in the media have called on the president to withdraw from the race, calling into question whether Vice President Kamala Harris will step in as the nominee of the Democratic Party. « It’s almost an embarrassment of riches that there are so many good people, » Miller said on « Fox & Friends » Monday of Trump’s choices for running mate. « And what President Trump has said is that whoever he does pick needs to be able to step in and do the job on day one. » MEDIA FIGURES SHOCKED AT BIDEN’S ‘BAD’ DEBATE PERFORMANCE: ‘TOTAL AND COMPLETE DISASTER’Miller added that Trump has many « great choices » and that the final decision could happen any time between now and the Republican convention starting on July 15. When asked if Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, or North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are the most serious candidates to be Trump’s running mate, Miller said that « President Trump has discussed even more names than that. » « What we don’t know is who President Trump and his running mate will be running against, » Miller said. « Ultimately, with all the talk this morning about Joe Biden and whether or not he can hang on in the presidential spot. » « I look ahead as a campaign strategist to what does that vice presidential debate look like, » Miller said, referencing calls from within the media for Biden to withdraw from the race. « We don’t know if that’s going to be Kamala, or maybe they swap her out for someone who’s even more liberal, more extreme, although that might be tough to do, » Miller said.JILL BIDEN’S EX-HUSBAND CALLS HER OUT FOR DEFENDING ‘STRUGGLING’ JOE BIDEN, ‘KEEPING HIM IN THE RACE’Miller also said that Biden campaign efforts in states like Florida, North Carolina and Georgia are a « waste of time. » « I think it’s doing Joe Biden a disservice for two reasons, » he said. « No. 1 is it’s highlighting the fact that Joe Biden cannot do three campaign stops in a day. » « President Trump right now is leading in New Jersey, » Miller said. « He’s leading in New Hampshire. He’s leading in Minnesota. While Democrats might want to talk about going on offense. They’re really on their heels in even blue states. »The Trump and Biden campaigns did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

Fever coach Christie Sides compares Caitlin Clark to WNBA great while making case for Rookie of the Year

[ad_1]


While the Chicago Sky have been very vocal about Angel Reese as the Rookie of the Year frontrunner, Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides gave her take on the award for her phenom, Caitlin Clark. Both rookies have been performing extremely well this season, earning themselves spots in the WNBA All-Star Game later this year in Phoenix. But their early success has led to the latest debate: who should be named the WNBA Rookie of the Year? CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFollowing the team’s win against the New York Liberty, Sides was asked if she wanted to take the opportunity to make the case for Clark, who just made WNBA history earlier on Saturday as the first rookie to ever record a triple-double. Sides was straight to the point, while comparing Clark to a WNBA great in the process. CAITLIN CLARK MAKES WNBA HISTORY AS SHE NOTCHES FIRST CAREER TRIPLE-DOUBLE »I’m always going to make a case for my players. First and foremost, she is the most competitive human being I’ve ever met, » Sides said. « I really compare her to Diana Taurasi. She’s always looking to find ways to get better. ‘How can I help the team? What can we do?’ « She found a rhythm tonight. The timing for our players is getting better every game. You know, those passes that she was making early, we just weren’t ready for them. Now, the chemistry is there, the timing is there, and that’s going to keep getting better. »Clark’s triple-double came on a night where the Fever defeated the New York Liberty, handing the WNBA powerhouse its fourth loss of the season. Clark finished with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds over 38 minutes on the court, wowing the hometown fans with her ability to help her team win while racking up stats. « She just wants to win. To me, she’s going to be my Rookie of the Year every day, » Sides concluded. Clark leads all rookies in the WNBA in points this season with 16.1 per game, with Reese not too far behind her with 14.1. Clark is also leading rookies in assists, averaging 7.4 per game, as Sides mentioned the increased chemistry she’s found with teammates on the floor. The Clark-Reese debate will surely continue throughout the season, as both players keep putting up numbers and helping their teams get better on a nightly basis. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Russian missiles hit children’s hospital in Kyiv, kill at least 20 across Ukraine ahead of NATO summit

[ad_1]


Russian missiles killed at least seven people and struck a children’s hospital in the Ukarinian capital, Kyiv, Monday, while another attack in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih killed at least 10.The Russian barrage targeted five Ukrainian cities with more than 40 missiles of different types, hitting apartment buildings and public infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post.At least 20 people were killed and around 50 people were injured across the country in the Monday morning onslaught, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. In Kryvyi Rih, 31 people were injured in addition to the 10 deaths in what the head of city administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, said was a massive missile attack. Explosions were also reported by local officials in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region.UKRAINE SEEKS TO STRIKE RUSSIAN TARGETS WITH WESTERN WEAPONS, ZELENSKYY SAYSAt the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kyiv, rescuers were searching for people under the rubble of a partially collapsed wing of the facility, Zelenskyy said, adding that the number of casualties was not yet known. »It is very important that the world should not be silent about it now and that everyone should see what Russia is and what it is doing, » Zelenskyy said on social media.The attack comes on the eve of a three-day NATO summit in Washington, which will look at how to reassure Ukraine of the alliance’s unwavering support and offer Ukrainians hope that their country can come through Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.A two-story building at the children’s hospital was partly destroyed. On the hospital’s main 10-story building, windows and doors were blown out and walls were blackened.Medical personnel and local people helped shift the rubble as they searched for children and medical workers who could be trapped underneath. Volunteers formed a line, passing stones and debris to each other. Smoke still rose from the building, and volunteers and emergency crews worked in protective masks.It was the heaviest Russian bombardment of Kyiv in almost four months. The daylight attacks included Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, one of the most advanced Russian weapons, the Ukrainian air force said. The Kinzhal flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept. City buildings shook from the blasts. An entire section of a residential multistory building in one district of Kyiv was destroyed, officials said.The Kyiv city administration reported falling debris, presumably from intercepted missiles, in a handful of Kyiv areas, starting fires. Thick plumes of smoke rose from several Kyiv neighborhoods.The head of Ukraine’s presidential office, Andrii Yermak, said the attack occurred at a time when many people were in the city’s streets.Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said official assessments of the attack’s consequences were still being carried out.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was spotted in a seemingly emotional state during girlfriend Taylor Swift’s recent Eras Tour stop.Videos have popped up on social media showing Kelce in a suite alongside his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, among others, where he appears to be wiping away tears during Swift’s performance in Amsterdam. Swift was performing a mashup of songs on the piano at the time, which fans believe were dedicated to Kelce, hence the emotion. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAt one point, Brittany Mahomes was seen talking to Kelce, perhaps trying to give the 34-year-old some love as Swift continued to sing onstage.After the show, Kelce was seen with Swift walking out of the Amsterdam stadium, and he was hyping up the crowd to cheer for his girlfriend after another successful performance. The songs that Swift was apparently singing during that emotional moment for Kelce was « Mary’s Song, » in which she sang the lyrics, « You’ll be 87, I’ll be 89. I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine. In the sky, oh my my my. » The No. 87 is in reference to Kelce’s jersey number, while No. 89 is the year Swift was born: 1989.TAYLOR SWIFT’S SAFETY WAS TRAVIS KELCE’S TOP PRIORITY DURING ERAS TOUR PERFORMANCE: ‘DO NOT DROP THE BABYThere was also the song « So High School » off Swift’s latest album, « The Tortured Poets Department, » which many fans believe is about Kelce.

I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the ’1989′ era?' » he explained to Jason. « She started laughing, and she was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’ And I was just like, ‘Are you – what? I would love to do that. Are you kidding me?’ I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here.' »She found the perfect, perfect part of the show for me to come in. There was no bike, in case I, like, ran into somebody else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was like the safest option. »Swift was seen at one point in Kelce’s arms as he carried her away during the show.It’s truly been a summer of love for these two, though Kelce will head back to work in the coming weeks with Chiefs training camp set to get underway.Fox News’ Caroline Thayer contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Anti-Israel protesters arrested after locking themselves inside fence at NASCAR’s Chicago Street Race

[ad_1]


Two anti-Israel protesters were arrested at NASCAR’s second annual Chicago Street Race on Sunday after locking themselves inside the fence for 40 minutes. The protesters held up a sign that read, « [Pritzker]: We charge genocide » and « Bombs for Gaza, prisons for Illinois » while sitting on top of the fence. Pritzker is in reference to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who protesters called out for using Illinois « state dollars to finance Israel’s genocidal campaign [in] Palestine. »CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMOrganizers of the protest released a statement that said the act was done to condemn « local, state and federal governments’ ongoing genocide and mass imprisonment agenda. »The statement also said it condemned NASCAR driver Alon Day, who is Jewish and has publicly shown his support for Israel in its war against Hamas. »Organizers also condemn the attempt made by Chicago city officials and NASCAR to manufacture consent for Israel’s mass death campaign by using the race as a staging ground for ‘proud Zionist’ driver Alon Day’s Israeli propaganda (although, it seems Day’s racing skills have made this attempt an uphill battle), » the statement read, per the City Bureau’s Grace Del Vecchio.ISRAELI NASCAR DRIVER ALON DAY TO PAY HOMAGE TO HOSTAGES AT UPCOMING RACE, SLAMS RISE OF ANTISEMITISMThe organizers poked fun at Day for wrecking his No. 45 Chevy Camaro after a mishap under a yellow caution flag during a practice session on Saturday. Day crashed into Justin Allgaier’s stationary vehicle after an earlier collision with a tire barrier. Day was unaware of the hazard, and « when I came there, I mean, on my side, I couldn’t hear anything. »Day recently spoke with Fox News Digital about how he was hoping to do more than just racing in Chicago this weekend.Day, the lone Israeli driver in NASCAR, wanted to pay homage to those still held captive by Hamas after its Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. He drove his Camaro for Alpha Prime Racing, with Jet Support Services inc. (JSSI) and Setna iO serving as two of the sponsors. Day’s car was wrapped with JSSI-branded blue and white, which are the colors of the Israeli flag. The car also had the Hebrew word for life on it, חי, in tribute to those being held captive. But unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to race on Sunday after the wreck because Alpha Prime Racing didn’t have a backup car for him. Day said he has five friends who are among the 116 people still believed to be held captive by Hamas. « I think I’m more motivated than ever. I won four times, the European Championship, and I always did it for my own success, » Day said. « Like all of us, we’re human. We try to be the best we can. We try to win [championships] for ourselves. »I think this time something a bit [changed] in me – doing that not only for myself but actually for the whole country, for the hostages, obviously for the [Israeli] soldiers, for the Jewish community in general here in the United States – I’m motivated by something else, by the war, by friends that are still hostages. This is what actually wants me to push to do even better. »Day also said in the interview with Fox News Digital that he believes anti-Israel agitators made the streets of Chicago dangerous. « The pro-Hamas protests on the streets, especially in the streets of Chicago, which is actually getting really dangerous. I was there for a couple of days, like a week ago, and I felt the need to check that I’m not wearing anything that can identify myself as Jewish, » he said. « I mean, this is how bad it is. Sounds like Germany in the ‘30s that I need to hide my Judaism. »The organizers of the protest also demanded that « President Joe Biden call for a permanent cease-fire and for the U.S. to cut all aid to Israel, including local and state governments » and condemned Pritzker’s plan to spend « over $900 million to build two new prisons in Illinois. »Fox News’ Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

DELUSION. DEFIANCE.’Which Democrats called for Biden to bow out, or what their level of apprehension about the current president continuing his run for a second term remains unclear.The meeting was proposed after Biden’s 22-minute interview with ABC News on Friday, which the Biden campaign hoped would ease fears that the president doesn’t have what it takes to continue the campaign and defeat former President Donald Trump.Instead, the interview set off a new round of fears among Democrats who were already concerned by Biden’s disastrous debate performance.BIDEN PANNED FOR NOT BEING CERTAIN ABOUT WHETHER HE WATCHED THE DEBATE: ‘HE DOESN’T KNOW???' »Look, Biden looked better and certainly more coherent than he looked during the debate, but there’s nothing in this interview that is calming the nerves of jittery Democrats who fear that Joe Biden is on a trajectory to lose this race, to lose to Donald Trump, » ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl said after the interview.Biden, however, struck a defiant tone, saying at one point that he would not drop out unless « the Lord Almighty were to come down and say, ‘Joe, get outta the race.' »Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion contributed to this report.

Israeli Minister touts Marine Le Pen as ‘excellent’ option for French president: ‘with 10 exclamation marks’

[ad_1]


An Israeli minister has endorsed Marine Le Pen for French president, saying she would make an « excellent » leader for the country as her right-wing party seeks significant gains in the current election. « It is excellent for Israel that she will be the president of France, with 10 exclamation marks, » Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli said Tuesday, later indicating that his view may be shared by other members of Israel’s leadership. « I think I and Netanyahu are of the same opinion, » he said when asked whether the Israeli prime minister shared his view, according to The Times of Israel. The outlet stressed that it remains unclear what had prompted Chikli to discuss Le Pen. Le Pen’s National Rally outperformed expectations in the European parliamentary elections, trouncing French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party and prompting him to call a snap election as he felt it created tension in the country if the electorate no longer believed in his party and their policies. FRANCE’S RIGHT-WING NATIONAL RALLY LOOKS TO SEIZE ON RECENT ELECTORAL GAINSThe gamble has thus far played into National Rally’s hands, and it has continued to perform well in the first round of its parliamentary election, just as it did in the European elections. The second and final round of the country’s parliamentary elections started Sunday.Le Pen has unsuccessfully run for president three times – in 2012, 2017 and 2022, improving her rank and share of the vote each time during that decade. Her most recent run saw her win 41.5% of the vote against Macron. Some speculate that the cultural issues at the heart of the election will propel National Rally – and potentially, in the 2027 presidential election, Le Pen – to control of the country. Immigration has proven a strong issue for right-wing parties across Europe, as well as the pushback those parties have shown to recent antisemitic protests and attacks.RIVALS MOVE TO BLOCK FRANCE’S RIGHT-WING NATIONAL PARTY’S ELECTION MOMENTUMSerge Klarsfeld, a renowned Nazi hunter, last week announced that he would throw his weight behind National Rally, telling French outlet LCI that if choosing between « an antisemitic party and a pro-Jewish party, I would vote for a pro-Jewish party, » referring to National Rally, according to Le Monde. Antisemitism has taken sharp focus in the election after the alleged gang rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl that many have cast as a hate crime. Two adolescent boys arrested in a Paris suburb were hit with preliminary charges in relation to the crime, with prosecutors alleging that the rape had been religiously motivated, ABC News reported. Rabbi Moshe Sebbag of the Grande Synagogue in Paris said that the election has indicated to him that French Jews have « no future » in France, telling The Jerusalem Post that he urges « everyone who is young to go to Israel or a more secure country. » MACRON ON EDGE AS FRANCE’S RIGHT-WING NATIONAL RALLY PARTY GAINS MOMENTUM IN FIRST ROUND OF ELECTIONSSebbeg argued that even if the far-right National Rally has voiced support for Israel’s defense against Hamas following the Oct. 7 attack, the party’s roots come from a place of antisemitism that continues to trouble him. CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPJean-Marie Le Pen has repeatedly been convicted of antisemitic hate speech and made statements downplaying the Holocaust, according to The Guardian, which prompted Marine Le Pen to distance herself and the party from its founder – her father. « Many Ashkenazi Jewish families here since before World War II couldn’t think to vote for National Rally, yet the Left has been antisemitic in recent times, » said Sebbag. « The Jews are in the middle, because they don’t know who hates them more. »
