Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville absolutely unloaded on his party after the news broke that Republicans had managed to retain control of a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, securing a trifecta in the 2024 general election. In a video made for broadcast at Politicon, Carville told Democrats that they needed to account for their failures in 2024 — and explain to constituents and donors what they would do differently going forward — if they wanted to be taken seriously.

So when you’re out of power, you’re an opposition party,” Carville explained. “Then go and tell all the people that are sending you and asking you for money, justify what you did. Justify what you did wrong, and tell us what you’re going to do different.” “What you’ve done ain’t worth a s**t. Get your head around that. And all of the Washington-based Democrats farting around, going to wine and cheese parties, and talking about how misogynistic the race is — get your a** out of Washington, and go work on a 2026 campaign and do penance to make up for your godd*** arrogance and stupidity,” Carville continued. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “We’re going to say we told you so. We told you this identity s*** was disaster. We told you to get out in front of public safety issues. You didn’t,” he added, arguing that Democrats had been stupid to embrace the “Defund the Police” crowd. Blasting his party for repeatedly failing to address the very real public safety concerns of the people, Carville complained that far too many had gotten sucked into identity politics and what he referred to as a “stupid Godd*** identitarian mission.” He concluded by labeling the Democratic Party’s current phase of development as “the entire era of Jacka**ery.”

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) will be his national security advisor after he is sworn into office in January. “I am honored to announce that Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) is hereby appointed to serve in my Cabinet as my National Security Advisor,” Trump said in a statement. “Mike is the first Green Beret to have been elected to Congress, and previously served in the White House and Pentagon.” Trump noted how Waltz’s 27 years in the military – where he was awarded four Bronze Stars, including two for valor – prepared him for the role. “Mike retired as a Colonel, and is a nationally recognized leader in National Security, a bestselling author, and an expert on the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism,” Trump said. “Mike has been a strong champion of my America First Foreign Policy agenda, and will be a tremendous champion of our pursuit of Peace through Strength!” Waltz currently serves as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He graduated with honors from the Virginia Military Institute. Waltz was deployed around the world while in the Special Forces, including Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa. The Wall Street Journal first reported Trump’s decision to appoint Waltz to the position on Monday night. A source familiar with the matter confirmed the report to The Daily Wire. National security advisor is a role that is highly influential in any administration as it is responsible for briefing the president on national security matters, coordinating between national security agencies, and executing the president’s agenda. The role does not require Senate confirmation. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Waltz is a well-known China hawk and should be a champion for a peace-through-strength approach to U.S. foreign policy. During an interview on Fox News this week, the first thing that Waltz mentioned was getting the American hostages back from Hamas. “First and foremost, in my mind, Maria, is that we still have … seven American citizens being held hostage in the tunnels of Gaza. By the time of inauguration day, they will have been held longer than the Iranians held our hostages in 1979,” he said. “Think about that. I mean, what a what a failure for them, of this Biden and Harris administration’s appeasement, concessions-based approach towards Iran.” “President Trump knows that if Iran is bankrupt, then they can’t send money out to all of their terrorist proxies, much less launch missiles at our great ally, Israel,” he continued. “And no president has done more for Israel than Donald J. Trump, from recognizing the Golan Heights to moving our embassy to literally just four years ago, we had peace deals being signed on the White House lawn.”

Spoiler warning: This story contains spoilers for Season 5 Episode 9 of “Yellowstone.” Actor Kevin Costner has weighed in on the fate of his character in the popular drama “Yellowstone” after the premiere of season 5, part 2 on Sunday night. The writers killed off Costner’s character, John Dutton, in a death that’s indicated to be a suicide but could have been a setup that covered up a murder. The 69-year-old actor said in an interview with SiriusXM’s “The Michael Smerconish Program” on Monday that he had no idea how the writers would handle his exit. “I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” Costner said. “That’s a swear to God moment. I swear to God. I mean, I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ I’m not in this season.” The actor had already discussed being done with “Yellowstone” after filming the first half of season 5. “I didn’t see it,” he said of the latest episode. “I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it,” Costner added.  Smerconish said that Dutton didn’t seem like “a suicide kind of guy,” prompting the actor to discuss the writers, saying, “Well, they’re pretty smart people. Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.” Costner said he had previously discussed “endings” for the character but did not talk about the idea of suicide. Ultimately, he said how writers handled Dutton’s death was “their business,” per Variety. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Many fans were furious over the popular character’s departure from the show, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “John Dutton deserved to go out like a gladiator, not a victim. Completely undoes the series. I’m not a fan at all how #Yellowstone handled Costner’s departure,” one person wrote. “John Dutton was a fantastic character, and despite the Kevin Costner drama, he deserved a better goodbye than Yellowstone gave him,” a second fan agreed. The actor cited scheduling conflicts as his main reason for leaving “Yellowstone.” Costner devoted a lot of time to his Western movie series, “Horizon,” which has so far gotten mixed reviews from critics and fans.  The actor previously said he was open to returning to “Yellowstone.”
