Boot Camp Training Speech: Almost No Chance of Survival A Ukrainian General at a boot camp told the troops. There is almost no chance of survival. This is insane.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings was unconvinced — and amused — when fellow panelist Brian Stelter claimed on Tuesday that the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” had opted to meet with President-elect Donald Trump out of fear of “retribution.” Stelter and Jennings sparred briefly on the topic during “CNN NewsNight” with host Abby Phillip as they discussed the fallout from a Friday meeting between Trump and “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. WATCH: NEW: @ScottJenningsKY's reactions are priceless as Brian Stelter ‘reports’ that Joe/Mika met with Trump because they feared retribution: "I mean, isn't it possible too that they're just two people who are so full of themselves, so full of self-aggrandizement that they would feel… pic.twitter.com/Ecr6QItBq3 — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) November 20, 2024 Scarborough and Brzezinski announced during their Monday morning broadcast that they had met with Trump, explaining that they had felt the need to reopen the lines of communication ahead of a second Trump administration. But according to Stelter, the meeting had been requested at least in part because the longtime morning show hosts were concerned that the Trump administration might “target” them for harassment or even prosecution. “Right. Detente, appeasement. I don’t know what to call it. You know, Joe and Mika didn’t say much about it today, but according to my sources, they believed … they credibly were concerned that they faced governmental and legal harassment with this incoming administration, essentially, that they feared retribution. And that’s partly why they sought out this meeting,” Stelter said. “And to be fair, to Brzezinski and Scarborough, they’re not the only MSNBC hosts or the only – the word journalists is complicated because they’re more like personalities – but there are a number of journalists at places like the [Associated Press] and other big news outlets that are concerned about retaliation in the coming months. Anything from IRS audits to lawsuits and things like that. There are media outlets bulking up on lawyers, thinking about having more libel insurance, those sorts of things,” Stelter continued. “Now, I don’t know exactly what the specific concern Joe and Mika had was or wasn’t. But they’re not the only MSNBC personalities worried about retaliation. However, they are the only ones to go down to Mar-a-Lago and have a meeting.” Jennings wasn’t buying it, however, and he said so: “I mean, isn’t it possible too that they’re just two people who think [they] are so full of themselves, so full of self-aggrandizement, that they would feel like that they would be personally —” Stelter interrupted, arguing that the “Morning Joe” hosts were not alone in their fears. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Well, I just, first of all, I can see why. Second of all, if that’s what happened and if that’s what they truly believed, why didn’t they go on TV and say that? ‘We went down there to meet with the president to tell him that, hey, anyone who’s been critical of you, you know, you should treat us like journalists and not like the enemy,'” Jennings replied. “They didn’t go on TV and say that, they went on TV and portrayed it much differently. So what I hear you saying in your reporting is they had a motive that they weren’t willing to disclose to their audience, which I think should get them more scorn today than they were already getting to begin with.” Scarborough and Brzezinski caught flak from both sides of the political aisle for meeting with Trump, with many on the Left claiming that such a meeting would legitimize the incoming administration. On the right, critics asked why Trump would give them the time of day after Scarborough and Brzezinski had happily joined the other media talking heads who called him a fascist, a Nazi, and worse. “Hitler getting a lot more meeting requests than I would’ve thought,” Jennings said at the time.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced on Wednesday that people who use restrooms in the House of Representatives must use the one that matches their biological sex. “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings – such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” Johnson said in a statement. “It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,” he added. “Women deserve women’s only spaces.” When asked by a reporter if the policy would be enforceable, Johnson said, “Like all House policies, it’s enforceable.” “And we have single-sex facilities for a reason, and women deserve women’s only spaces,” he noted. “And we are not anti-anyone and we are pro-woman. I think it is an important policy for us to continue. It’s always been an unwritten policy and now it is in writing.” The announcement comes after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a bill this week that banned “Members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes.” Mace later tweaked the bill, naming it the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” and provided it exclusively to The Daily Wire. The bill prohibits “individuals from accessing or using single-sex facilities on federal property other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” I asked the speaker if this would be enforceable and he said: “Like all House policies, it’s enforceable. And we have single sex facilities for a reason, and women deserve women’s only spaces. And we are not anti anyone and we are pro-woman. I think it is an important policy for… pic.twitter.com/usCfmnhRD9 — Olivia Beavers (@Olivia_Beavers) November 20, 2024 Mace told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles that her legislation should not be controversial, arguing that independent voters and even Democrats are “with us” when it comes to “forcing this crazy gender ideology down the throats of our children and other Americans across the country.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “I’m going to do everything I can to protect women and girls here on the hill, but also across the nation,” she said on “The Michael Knowles Show,” where she first unveiled the bill. “This is a question that needs to be answered. Do women have rights or not? Are we going to allow these men to bully us into submission? And I say, no, no more. I’m done with this.” “There’s no amount of bullying and threats on my life that they’ve made this week that’s going to stop me from this,” she added, promising to “fight like hell” for the protection of women and girls.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged his fellow senators on Wednesday to avoid joining an “angry mob” during the confirmation process of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney general. Graham met with Gaetz and Vice President-elect JD Vance on Wednesday morning. Vance took Gaetz and Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth around Capitol Hill to meet with key senators ahead of their confirmation hearings. Both Gaetz and Hegseth have been viewed as controversial picks, with some Republican senators publicly expressing their concern over Gaetz being tapped to head the Justice Department. Gaetz, who has been one of President-elect Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters, was the subject of a DOJ sex trafficking investigation, but no charges were brought against him. The House Ethics Committee is also investigating the Florida Republican for alleged sexual misconduct. Gaetz resigned from Congress immediately after being nominated for attorney general, effectively ending the probe. For the upcoming confirmation hearing, Graham asked his colleagues to neither “rubber stamp” Gaetz nor “be driven by a lynch mob.” “I had a very good meeting with President Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, and Vice President-elect JD Vance. I am committed to allowing the process to go forward in a manner consistent with past practices and fundamental fairness. This process will not be a rubber stamp nor will it be driven by a lynch mob,” Graham posted on X. “My record is clear. I tend to defer to presidential cabinet choices unless the evidence suggests disqualification. I fear the process surrounding the Gaetz nomination is turning into an angry mob, and unverified allegations are being treated as if they are true. I have seen this movie before.” “I would urge all of my Senate colleagues, particularly Republicans, not to join the lynch mob and give the process a chance to move forward. After years of being investigated by the Department of Justice, no charges were brought against Matt Gaetz. This is something we should all remember,” the South Carolina senator added. “I would also urge my colleagues to go back to a time-tested process, receive relevant information, and give the nominee a chance to make their case as to why they should be confirmed. This standard – which I have long adhered to – has served the Senate and country well.” The House Ethics Committee is reportedly gathering on Wednesday afternoon behind closed doors as some on Capitol Hill call on the committee to release what it has on Gaetz. The committee chair, Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS), has not said if he supports releasing any report. Assuming all Democrats on the committee vote to release the information on Gaetz, only one Republican would need to approve, The Hill reported. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “There’s not enough money in the world to pay me to serve on the Ethics Committee right now,” one House Republican said, according to The Hill. “Those members are definitely in an unenviable position.” Trump nominated the 42-year-old Gaetz for attorney general last week, calling him a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice.” “Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution,” Trump added. “We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt’s leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again.”

We all know Steve Martin is a hilarious man. He played the neurotically lovable George Banks in the Father of the Bride franchise and family man Neal Page in Planes, Trains, And Automobiles. Steve started his career in stand-up comedy and has hosted both Saturday Night Live and The Academy Awards multiple times. Steve hinted that his current role as Charles-Haden Savage in Only Murders in the Building could be his final acting role. But that doesn’t mean he’s finished in the entertainment business. Steve Martin recently lent his banjo skills to a new Vince Gill tune, and people love it. Believe it or not, he’s a Grammy-winning bluegrass artist who loves to play music. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Steve Martin (@stevemartinreally) Steve Martin Shared Video Of He And Vince Gill Playing Together On Instagram While Vince sang, Steve strummed the banjo. Together, they made beautiful music. Steve captioned his Instagram post, “Here’s Alison Brown’s and my new song with the incredible Vince Gill. ‘Wall Guitar.’ Already a hit in Iceland, I think!” A fan wrote, “What a welcome sound. That voice, your banjos… my soul needs soothing so thank you all. Steve, please don’t stop posting.” “I have listened to this over and over. I am in love. My grandmother was a brilliant banjo player and this warms my heart. Thank you for this beautiful song,” this person agreed. This person was watching Steve Martin on TV and stopped to listen to him and Vince Gill play, “I seriously just paused ‘Murders in The Building’ to listen to this song! You can do no wrong, Steve Martin!” “Mr. Martin, I think you have officially crossed over. Comedy, movies, tv, and now music. At the risk of sounding condescending, I am proud of the entertainer you have become,” a fan complimented. It seems no matter what Steve does, it’s incredible and we’re here for it.

Every fisherman wants to land a trophy catch. The fish photo opportunity happens on the boat when you’re out with Big Waters Guide Service because they practice catch and release. After a catch, the angler holds up their fish, and Captain Big Water takes a quick video. Most of the time, the fish behave, and the fishermen maintain a firm grip. But occasionally, they catch a “Billy Bass” that tries to jump off the wall while singing the blues. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bigwater’s Guide Service (@fish_flop_cmon) The fish refusing capture is a Steelhead Trout, a type of Rainbow Trout native to the Pacific Ocean. Migratory steelheads are found in the tributaries off the Pacific coast. They have also been introduced into freshwater lakes since the late 1800s. Different varieties of Steelhead are on threatened or endangered lists. This one was not having of this fish photo nonsense and formulated his escape. The look on the angler’s face as the fish began moving is priceless! Image from TikTok. It looks like the man was expecting the fish to smile for the camera. When it squirmed, the man was in complete shock. This fish photo op is hilarious. We’re guessing the guide forgot to mention that fish are slippery when wet. When you fish with a guide service, they know all the laws regarding the types of fish they catch. Captain Big Water, whose real name is Neil, loves his job. His base is Redding, California, in the state’s northern reaches. He spends his days on adventures with customers fishing for Steelhead, Trout, and Salmon along the Klamath, Sacramento, and Smith Rivers. You can follow the guide service on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. While not all the videos are as entertaining as this one, there are happy smiles.
