October 20, 2026 at 5:34 PM EDT Podcasters who backed Trump suffer massive losses President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election with a lot of help from conservative podcasters like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate. Flash forward two years and right-wing influencers like those four are paying the price for Trump's unpopularity -- in their ratings. "Trump took to podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience and This Past Weekend with Theo Von to boost his numbers among economically disaffected young white voters, while Kamala Harris failed to gain ground with them," reported The Daily Beast's Christopher Buchanan on Tuesday. "But amid his tumultuous term, Trump has had a contagious effect on most of the figures who propelled him back to the top." October 20, 2026 at 5:21 PM EDT Fox News analyst doesn't hold back while blasting Trump's 'serious mistake' On Tuesday, a Fox News contributor and leading security expert didn't hold back while discussing President Donald Trump's recent moves regarding the United States' top adversaries. According to Rebecca Heinrichs, senior fellow at Hudson Institute, Trump is making a "serious mistake" by increasingly aligning with Russia. Asked her opinion of a possible upcoming summit between Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping -- an idea suggested by Putin -- Heinrichs was blunt about her assessment, saying, "If the President wants to meet with Xi Jinping and Putin to talk about Ukraine, I think that would be a serious mistake. If you want to do something like Yalta, then you have meetings among allies, the United States with the Europeans, with Ukraine, trying to figure out what to do about Russia." The Yalta Conference was held at the end of World War Two, bringing the Allies together to debate the post-war fates of Germany and Europe.

This isn't a misunderstanding or a temporary disagreement. The message is clear: Stay away." October 20, 2026 at 4:51 PM EDT Fox News suggests Trump has 'no idea' what he's talking about On Tuesday, after President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on the Russia-Ukraine War with reporters in the Oval Office, Fox News offered an unsubtle suggestion that he doesn't know what he's talking about. In the network's social media post moments after the session, it pointed out the blatant contradiction to the president's claims. "Trump says Russia is showing no signs of slowing down on the battlefield as his special envoy Steve Witkoff prepares to travel to Moscow for talks," posted Fox. "'They just keep grinding forward,' Trump says, pointing to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine and its ability to keep sending troops into battle. Still, the president insists Russia wants to reach a deal, even as he describes its military advancing week after week." This prompted National Review senior political correspondent Jim Gergahty -- also a member of conservative media -- to note, "Fox News, not-so-subtly suggesting the president has no idea of what he's talking about..." October 19, 2026 at 5:59 PM EDT Democratic candidate admits to drinking 3 beers before live TV interview Blame the booze. At least that's what a Democratic candidate for a county council seat in Indiana says caused her to slur during a televised interview last week. Jamie West is running for Fayette County Council District 4. A recent interview circulating online has garnered re-shares and conversation around her slurred speech and shocking comments. Many believed she was under the influence of alcohol during the interview, and in a follow-up interview with Piers Morgan, she confirmed the theory. October 19, 2026 at 5:47 PM EDT 'Speechless' MAGA turns on Trump over 'ridiculous' distraction scheme President Donald Trump has attempted to unilaterally rename Lake Ontario into "Lake America" and the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." He lacks the legal authority to do either of these things, just as he cannot rename a state on a whim -- although he is now attempting to do just that. And even many of his own supporters are turning on him over it. "New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Monday. "We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America! The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag! Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again!" October 19, 2026 at 4:39 PM EDT Trump's health fuels speculation as photo reveals newly 'disfigured' hand On Monday a photograph revealed President Donald Trump to have fresh bruises on his right hand. While the public remains in the dark as to why, one journalist speculates that Trump's brain may be addled by anything from aspirin to a stroke, at least according to one prominent journalist. "The forthcoming midterm elections are a referendum on President Donald Trump's policies, not his health," wrote The New Republic's Timothy Noah on Monday. "But when those policies include renaming the Atlantic 'Trump Ocean,' or affecting indifference about whether Iran might 'take out' Los Angeles or San Diego, or prohibiting nominees for executive branch positions from saying out loud, 'Joe Biden won the 2020 election,' that changes the equation. With directives like these emanating from the White House, it's everybody's civic duty to consider whether its occupant is a well man." October 19, 2026 at 4:08 PM EDT Longtime pilot flags detail the Army left out of helicopter crash report The U.S. Army has released its investigation into the January 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), which killed 67 people.
