The National Association of Broadcasters rescinded an award for actor Robert De Niro in the wake of his comments last week against former President Donald Trump outside a New York City courthouse where Trump's Stormy Daniels' trial was taking place, The Hill reported.De Niro ripped into Trump at a press conference — held on behalf of President Joe Biden's campaign — and said Trump "wants to destroy not only the city, but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world."'Mr. De Niro will no longer be attending the event.'The left-wing actor also said, "If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections? Forget about it. That’s over, that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave."After Trump was convicted Thursday on all 34 felony counts, De Niro said “justice was served," Deadline reported.The NAB was to give De Niro its Service to America Award on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., The Hill said.“This event is proudly bipartisan, uniting those from across the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broadcasters and our partners,” an NAB spokesperson said in a statement to the outlet. “While we strongly support the right of every American to exercise free speech and participate in civic engagement, it is clear that Mr. De Niro’s recent high-profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognize. To maintain the focus on service of the award winners, Mr. De Niro will no longer be attending the event.”Following the NAB's announcement, De Niro told The Hill, "I support the work of the NAB Leadership Foundation and would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for what the Foundation has done and will continue to do for the good of us all, and I wish them well for their continued good work."What else?De Niro had to contend with numerous Trump supporters who mercilessly heckled the actor from before the press conference until well after it was over. Amid the verbal fisticuffs, De Niro's onscreen tough-guy persona emerged as well.In fact, De Niro got into a heated verbal altercation on the way back to his vehicle after the press conference, as detractors crowded around him and the group of men apparently protecting the actor.Pro-Trump folks yelled out "wannabe!" and "sell-out!" and "nobody!" and "movies suck!" and "little punk!" NBC News reported."You're not going to intimidate!" De Niro yelled back, pointing his index finger. "That's what Trump does, to try to intimidate! ... We are going to fight back! We're trying to be gentlemen in this world, the Democrats! You are gangsters! You are gangsters!""You're washed up!" another person hollered at the actor, who clearly had enough by that point and fired off a nifty, "F*** you!" at his adversary.Like Blaze News?

The Biden administration is pulling out all the stops to make sure Americans will “own nothing and be happy.” Its latest tactic is encouraging more consumer debt spending through second mortgages, which seems to be less about helping Americans and more about buying votes before the election. Carol Roth, author of “You Will Own Nothing,” believes Americans need to be warned. “It’s the arsonists who are burning down your house, and then, they bring a water bottle and say, ‘Hey, I’m going to help put out the fire and rebuild it. It is frustrating,” Roth tells Glenn Beck before explaining what the government is doing now. “Freddy Mac had this great idea because people have so much equity in their homes. Let us go ahead and offer second mortgages,” Roth says. “But second mortgages don’t get you into housing. Those are consumer loans. Those are people taking money out of their homes and using them whatever it is. And that equity is perceived equity.” Meanwhile, the homeowners haven’t cashed out the house or sold the house, so it’s not guaranteed. Roth believes the second mortgage will be “people taking their wealth, their ownership, and going and blowing it on things.” “That’s what will happen,” Glenn agrees, noting that people will use it to pay down a credit card with a 25% rate in order to use the 9% mortgage rate instead. “Obviously, we would rather use other money if we can to pay down 25% and taking down your ownership,” Roth says. “I think we have to ask ourselves a few questions here. One, why is it that the taxpayers should all of a sudden back consumer loans? Why is it that we want to encourage more consumer debt spending, particularly during a time of inflation?” “And why do we want people to reduce the ownership, the equity in their homes?” she adds. Glenn and Roth both believe this has a lot to do with the 2024 election. “All these things make him look like the economy is doing better,” Roth explains, but if these programs are implemented as Biden is planning, the economy will be even farther from actually doing better. “Inflation next year is going to be insane,” Glenn says, and Roth agrees, noting that programs like this are what “started the whole ball rolling with the Great Recession/financial crisis.” “I’m super excited for taxpayers to back consumer loans,” she continues. “You’re not even backing first mortgages, you’re now backing consumer loans. Way to go, really glad that the government wants to get into that.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
