A newly surfaced hot-mic clip shows Fox News host Jimmy Failla mocking security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner roughly an hour before a gunman breached a hotel checkpoint during the event attended by President Donald Trump.

In the livestreamed red-carpet segment, Failla quipped that it “looks like they have like two random chicks holding the front door open,” adding that “they’re not even Secret Service people” as he described staffers guarding the entrance to the Washington Hilton.

He went on to joke that organizers “might as well put a door stop in” and even “a scarecrow” at the door, remarks that social media users later recirculated as evidence of obvious security lapses.

After shots were fired when suspect Cole Tomas Allen allegedly rushed past a Secret Service checkpoint with a shotgun, handgun and knives, Failla told Fox’s Trace Gallagher that he had “just left the red carpet” and initially believed he was witnessing “an attack on President Trump” as agents sprinted toward the stage.

Allen, a 31-year-old California man now charged with attempting to assassinate Trump and multiple federal gun crimes, was subdued near the screening area outside the ballroom, with one officer struck but protected by a bullet-resistant vest.

The incident has intensified scrutiny of both hotel security and the wider climate of political violence, with law enforcement officials still “probing” Allen’s motives but noting writings expressing anger toward government officials, as millions still question the event entirely.

On British channel Talk (formerly TalkTV), journalist and former politician Alex Phillips delivered an emotional monologue warning viewers to avoid events “if Democrats will be present because you might get killed,” calling the dinner attack the third attempt on Trump’s life.

Arguing that rhetoric about the “far-right” being dangerous is belied by events, Phillips claimed that “yet again bullets [were] flying through the air at an American event aimed towards somebody on the right wing” and that there is “only one side of politics that is posing the imminent threat to life.”

She accused what she called a “lunatic left wing” of normalizing calls to “stamp on the necks of the fascists” and said radicalized teachers’ unions, coastal states such as California and online activist networks had allowed “radical communism” to seep into key institutions.

Concluding that “this scourge of left-wing pestilence” — including “lunacy, name-calling, violent rhetoric, protests, lies, fake news, [and] violence” — must be confronted, Phillips urged that “it’s got to stop today.”

The post Another Fox News Host Complained About Lack of Security at WHCD? | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

By Wayne Allyn Root

America is in the midst of a life-or-death national security emergency. The time to act is now.

Democrats not only stole the 2020 election- with the help of China, the CCP, Venezuela and Iran (not to mention the perfectly timed Covid pandemic)- but they have also stolen dozens of Senate and House seats.

All this blatant theft and voter fraud has changed the direction of America, the U.S. economy and the fate of the great American middle class.

We face 3 existential threats that could end America, American exceptionalism and capitalism because of all this voter fraud, that has led to all these stolen elections- 1) wokeism, 2) communism and 3) radical Islam.

That’s the Democrat “Axis of Evil.”

Now Democrats are salivating at the thought of their coming midterm victory- which will for all intents and purposes, ends the Trump presidency.

If Democrats manage to steal another national election, Trump will face nonstop impeachments. The President will be unable to pass any of his agenda.

And we will all be facing permanent voter fraud, leading to permanent stolen elections, leading to a one-party Socialist welfare state.

And let me wake everyone up- there is no other cavalry coming. The Senate will NOT end, or even temporarily suspend the filibuster. Therefore, the Senate will NOT pass the SAVE America Act. Face the truth- our GOP Senate is either useless, or bribed, but either way, it’s not happening.

It’s time to pull out the “National Emergency” card!

President Trump in April 2025 was prepared to declare a “National Security Emergency for US Elections.” This National Security Declaration was primarily based on the fact that FBI Director Kash Patel had just found out that China and the CCP interfered in the 2020 presidential election.

Along with that “National Security Emergency Declaration” was a 17-page Executive Order that addressed everything from Voter ID, voter registration, and limiting voting through the mail going back to the old-style Absentee Ballot (where the only people voting through the mail were overseas military, elderly, disabled, etc.).

President Trump never released the “National Security Emergency Declaration” and EO on elections. People close to the President say he was talked out of it because he was assured that the Save America Act was the cure to the rigged elections, and it was soon to pass. Any day now. And I promise “my check is in the mail.”

It’s time to stop dreaming. It’s time to stop being delusional. The SAVE Act is never passing. The cavalry is not coming- at least not from this cowardly and bribed Republican US Senate.

But the “National Emergency Declaration” is the cavalry.

In 1976, Congress passed the National Emergency Act (NEA), which gave Congress the power to revoke a Presidential National Security Emergency with just a simple majority.

However, in the early 1980s, President Reagan challenged that bill, with Reagan arguing that Congress should not have authority to take down something as serious as a NATIONAL SECURITY EMERGENCY.

In 1983, The Supreme Court ruled that the only way Congress can undo a President’s National Security Emergency is by…

1) BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS must produce a 2/3rds majority.

2) Congress has six months from the time the National Security Emergency is signed to achieve the 2/3 majority in both the House and the Senate.

President Trump could declare a National Security Emergency on Elections TODAY based on the emergency being millions of illegal aliens/non-citizens are illegally voting in and changing the outcome of US elections.

Article 15 in the U.S. Constitution says, “American citizens must be afforded the right to vote.” But it doesn’t give the green light to illegal aliens/non-citizens voting.

Article 6 in the Constitution says, “The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and must be followed by government, judges, and citizens.”

By declaring a National Security Emergency for Elections based on illegal aliens/non-citizens voting by the millions, it’s easy to prove there is a national emergency.

California is very public with their Motor Voter program- where illegal aliens receive IDs and voting rights. That’s exactly why California has over 30 million mail-in ballots per election.

In my adopted home state of Nevada, it’s even worse. Not only you can vote in person with no ID in Nevada, but every illegal alien can legally get a driver’s license at DMV, whereupon they are automatically registered to vote- whether they want to, or not. Then the state mails out ballots to every voter in the state- whether they ask for it, or not. Which means every illegal alien is not only legally registered to vote, but can do it from home, without ever showing up to vote.

Nevada is encouraging massive voter fraud.

President Trump can declare a National Security Emergency for Elections along with an EO stopping illegals from voting. Our elections are not honest and secure, and illegal aliens make up millions and millions of the fraudulent votes.

Concerning the voting machines, in 2018, the Supreme Court codified Executive Order 23848 which gives the President of the United States the right to interject in elections if there is proof of foreign interference. We know that many voting machines around the country have had wireless devices placed inside of them, including 36 voting machines in Mesa County Colorado, “aka Tina Peters territory.”

That’s why crooked Colorado Democrat politicians and judges conspired to convict Tina of a non-crime, and put her away for 9 years in prison, at the age of 70.

Democrat politicians and judges want Tina to die in prison because she knows exactly how Democrats are hacking the machines to steal elections.

Surely the Democrats will try to challenge Trump’s “National Emergency Declaration,” as they always do. But they can’t. It cannot be undone in the courts. It can only be undone IF DEMOCRATS CAN PRODUCE A 2/3rds MAJORITY IN BOTH CHAMBERS WITHIN SIX MONTHS.

First, Democrats can’t do it. They don’t have 2/3rds. Not even close. They lose- period. Trump wins. America wins.

Secondly, six months from today brings us to the last days of October- before the midterms. The way this works is, Trump’s “National Emergency Declaration” is in effect from the day he signs it.

Democrats have until the last days of October to reverse it with a 2/3rds vote in both chambers of Congress. But it’s in effect all that time. Once that six-months deadline passes, it’s officially over. And we all know they don’t have the votes to overturn it.

So, it applies to stop Democrats from cheating, rigging and stealing the midterms- from the day President Trump signs it, until after the deadline passes, and then it’s in place FOREVER!

And no court can get involved- thereby neutering the communist insurrection judges.

It is my opinion that this is the only path remaining to save the midterms from another stolen election by Democrats.

This is the only way to avoid endless court challenges and appeals, which would likely not get to the Supreme Court before the midterms anyway.

President Trump must release a comprehensive EO on Election Integrity, simultaneously while declaring a “National Security Emergency for Elections” based on millions of illegal aliens/non-citizens continuing to vote in United States Elections.

This makes it “court proof” and “Congress proof.”

We get honest elections, we win the midterms, and then we institute even more and stricter election reforms, and then without voter fraud, and without millions of illegal aliens voting, and without China and the CCP interfering…

We never lose again.

“Everyone loves a winner.” This is the solution to make winners of President Trump, the GOP and America!

Actress and singer Bette Midler has released a full music video for her updated version of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song ‘All You Fascists Bound to Lose,’ now redone as a direct, vulgar attack on Trump and his administration.

The video, which debuted in late March and gained renewed attention this week, features footage from the anti-Trump “No Kings” rallies from March.

It also stars Midler’s longtime friend and Beaches co-star Barbara Hershey, along with other celebrities, including Broadway stars Shoshana Bean, David Hyde Pierce, Jenifer Lewis, and others.

In the intro, Midler declares, “You know I’ve been around a long time, but I’ve never lived through what we are living through now. The great Woody Guthrie wrote this song many years ago. I changed some of the words to fit our times, and I hope you’ll sing it when you are making signs, planning protests, and marching. Because sometimes people, sometimes you just gotta SING OUT!”

The changed lyrics include:

“Hey there, all you fascists, let me put you straight. When you come for the rest of us, we’ll fight you at the gate… We’ll battle ICE together, until they cut and run, just like in Minneapolis. And when the midterms come… you’re bound to lose.”

“To hell with all the cowards who hide behind their masks. We’re gonna win the midterms. We’re coming for his ass! He knows it too, that bastard’s bound to lose.”

“Trying to distract us from the Epstein files. You gas and beat and murder us, protecting pedophiles. Let’s turn the screws. You pervs are bound to lose.”

“America, get ready, midterms are at hand. We got to stick together, folks, and vote to save this land. It’s time to choose, those fascists bound to lose.”

The rallies featured in the video largely targeted Trump’s immigration enforcement.

Cole Allen, the man who attempted to assassinate Trump administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, reportedly attended at least one of the protests.

This is far from Midler’s first public swipe at Trump. Some may argue that she is full-blown obsessed with him.

In 2024, Midler posted a meme implying she would drink Drano if Trump won the election. She deleted her X account shortly after.

Do we have a working theory on why so many teachers are saying and doing the most horrific things imaginable? pic.twitter.com/tWFwxVAYYu

Do we have a working theory on why so many teachers in the public school system are saying and doing the most horrific things imaginable?

Yet another teacher has been exposed, this time for complaining that the would-be assassins of late are not good enough.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

A social studies teacher at Kaukauna High School has been caught openly lamenting that the latest deranged assassin didn’t manage to take out President Donald Trump.

Patrick Meyer, identified as the taxpayer-funded educator pushing his anti-Trump venom on social media, posted a now-deleted rant on X following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

According to screenshots shared by Libs of Tiktok, Meyer wrote: “I am not impressed with recent presidential assassins. It’s f-king embarrassing. Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald must all be spinning in their graves! MAGAA (make Americans great assassins again)! Sad!”

The Kaukauna Area School District issued a statement confirming Meyer has been placed on administrative leave while they “review the matter in accordance with its policies and procedures.”

Is this who you want to have teaching your children?

How can we expect a bright future for our nation if the next generation is influenced by those who celebrate political violence?

The Federal Communications Commission has officially placed ABC and its parent company The Walt Disney Company under investigation.

According to the FCC order issued Tuesday, Disney’s ABC must file license renewal applications to renew broadcast licenses for all eight of its owned-and-operated television stations within 30 days, well ahead of the normal renewal schedule that would have stretched from 2028 to 2031.

The FCC stated it has been investigating Disney’s ABC stations for possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and agency rules, including the prohibition on unlawful discrimination. Regulators said ABC had responded to prior Letters of Inquiry, but “additional actions are appropriate at this time.”

The letter reads:

The FCC has been investigating The Walt Disney Company, its American Broadcasting Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Disney’s ABC”) for compliance with its obligations as a licensed broadcaster. Specifically, the FCC has been investigating Disney’s ABC stations for possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and the FCC’s rules, including the agency’s prohibition on unlawful discrimination. While Disney’s ABC has purported to respond to two FCC Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) as part of this investigation, the FCC has determined that additional actions are appropriate at this time.

Specifically, FCC rules provide that whenever the FCC regards an application for a renewal of a license as essential to the proper conduct of an investigation, the FCC has the authority to call the broadcaster’s licenses in for early renewal.1 Doing so both allows the FCC to conduct its ongoing investigation and enables the FCC to ensure that the broadcaster has been meeting its public interest obligations more broadly.

The FCC determines that calling in Disney’s ABC licenses for early renewal, at this time, under the Communications Act’s public interest standard2 is essential within the meaning of agency regulations. Therefore, Disney’s ABC is hereby directed to file license renewals for all of their licensed TV stations within 30 days–in other words, by May 28, 2026.

The eight ABC-owned stations reportedly affected include outlets in major U.S. markets:

• New York
• Los Angeles
• Chicago
• Philadelphia
• Houston
• San Francisco
• Fresno
• Durham, North Carolina

Disney responded with the predictable corporate statement, claiming ABC has a “long record” of compliance and trusted public service programming, while insisting it remains qualified under both the Communications Act and the First Amendment.

The move comes hot on the heels of President Donald Trump’s direct demand that Disney-ABC fire late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after his vile, classless “joke” targeting First Lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow.” Kimmel’s disgusting monologue crossed every line of decency.
