Morning Joe Hits Lowest Ratings Since 2021 Amid Mounting Backlash Over Trump Meeting.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe hit its lowest viewership since 2021 after husband-and-wife co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski acknowledged traveling to Mar-a-Lago for a meeting with President-elect Donald J. Trump following his landslide election victory earlier this month. The announcement, made on Monday, triggered an immediate meltdown among MSNBC’s left-wing viewers, as well as Democratic Party-aligned media apparachiks on other networks.

The Nielsen research company’s data indicates that Morning Joe has lost about 16 percent of its viewers since the Monday announcement regarding the Trump meeting. Among viewers aged 25 to 54—a demographic important to advertisers—the morning show has lost 41 percent of its viewership since Monday.

Even more shocking, the drop off in viewers was almost immediate after Scarborough and Brzezinski gave their rationale for traveling to Trump’s private club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida. Morning Joe viewership plunged 17 percent (839,000 to 694,000) in the hour after the meeting’s announcement, with 25 to 54-year-olds dropping off at 38 percent (113,000 people to 70,000).

The negative viewer trends for Morning Joe reflect a broader problem for MSNBC—whose parent company, Comast, is reportedly looking to sell off the network and several other media properties. Since Trump’s landslide election victory, the left-wing news network has seen a 54 percent drop in viewership (a 1.1 million decrease from last month).

Prior to the 2024 election, Scarborough and Brzezinski made numerous outlandish claims about Trump, including the bizarre assertion that he would execute his political enemies in a second term of office. This resulted in MSNBC pulling the show briefly following the first assassination attempt against Trump, fearing unhinged reactions by the hosts or their guests.

REPORT: Trump Rows With Netanyahu in Heated Call – ‘Everybody Hates Israel Because of This.’

President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are reported to have rowed in a heated phone call over planned Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which were later called off.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump reportedly had a contentious phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu overnight, calling him “f**king crazy” and urging him to halt strikes in Lebanon that have helped to derail peace negotiations with Iran. The Islamic Republic, which supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, has demanded that Israel cease its military actions there before peace talks can resume.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” – Trump to Netanyahu, per sources
📺 DETAIL: Sources familiar with the call between the pair claim Trump expressed frustration over Israel’s actions and pressed Netanyahu to avoid a major escalation in Beirut. Following the conversation, Israel scaled back plans for broader strikes. Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post, “I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to conduct a major raid on Beirut, Lebanon. He turned his troops around. Thank you, Bibi!“
🎯 IMPACT: The call suggests President Trump’s frustration with Israel may be be growing, as he seeks to strike a peace deal with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for energy and fertilizer supplies. Iran has signaled it may return to talks under certain conditions, but tensions remain high following recent military exchanges involving U.S., Israeli, and Iranian-backed forces across the region.

Farage Lodges Formal Request for Review of Sikh Murderer’s Sentence.

Nigel Farage had lodged a formal request with Britain’s attorney general for a review of the sentence handed to Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who murdered white teenager Henry Nowak and falsely accused him of racism.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage has written to the British Attorney General, Richard Hermer, under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, urging him to appeal for a stronger sentence for Vickrum Digwa, who was convicted of murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak. Digwa received a “life” sentence with a minimum term of just 21 years before the possibility of parole.
📰 DETAIL: “In this case, the judge ruled at paragraph 30 of his remarks that, ‘as a Sikh’, Digwa had ‘a good legal reason for having the dagger when you met Henry’. The result was that the judge began his sentencing exercise with a starting point of 15 years,” Farage complained in his letter to Hermer, adding, “Beyond this absurdity, the judge applied an uplift of just eight years for the aggravating features in this case before deducting for supposed mitigating features. On any viewing, this is plainly unacceptable.” The Reform leader argued that Digwa’s crime should have been treated as “exceptionally serious” given he and his family lied to police about Nowak racially attacking them and lied that he had not been stabbed, resulting in the police pushing Nowak onto his face in handcuffs in his dying moments instead of helping him.
🎯 IMPACT: Farage referring the case to the Attorney General under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme means Digwa’s sentencing must be reviewed, and the AG required to make a decision as to whether or not to appeal to the courts for a stronger sentence
💬 KEY QUOTE: “A Reform government would not allow [Digwa] to walk free from prison,” Farage wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Refugee Jailed for Rape Shouts ‘F**k England’ in Court.

A Sudanese refugee sparked outrage with his courtroom remarks after he was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison for raping a woman in Sunderland, England.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A Sudanese refugee denigrated England in court after being sentenced to fewer than ten years in prison for raping a woman.
📺 DETAIL: Mohamed Ibrahim Harun illegally entered the United Kingdom in the back of a truck and was granted refugee status soon after. In 2024, Harun raped a woman at his flat in Sunderland in north-east England. Harun denied the charges, but was found guilty following an eight-day trial. Harun was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison at Newcastle Crown Court on Monday. “She said in the flat you had forced yourself upon her. She describes you having raped her in the kitchen… She said she didn’t want to have sex with you and describes you being all over her and that the sex was forceful and hurt,” concluded Judge Carolyn Scott. The victim described the attack as “the worst day of my life” and said that Harun “stole my carefree and trusting nature.” Harun met the victim in a local park before taking her back to his flat for a drink. Following the assault, the victim fled the flat and contacted the police from a nearby shop. Footage of the victim fleeing Harun’s flat was captured on CCTV. As he was sentenced, using the assistance of an interpreter, Harun said: “I don’t want to stay in England, f**k England, I don’t want to stay.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I don’t want to stay in England, f*** England, I don’t want to stay.” – Mohamed Ibrahim Harun, in court after sentencing.
🎯 IMPACT: The case follows a series of similar stories involving asylum seekers arriving in the United Kingdom and committing sexual assault. In April, three asylum seekers were found guilty of gang raping a woman in a “cynical, predatory, and callous” attack on Brighton Beach in southern England.

British Reporter Threatened With Violence by Crazed Anti-ICE Agitator.

A British reporter faced threats and intimidation while presenting migrant crime data at a heated anti-ICE protest outside a New Jersey detention center.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Reporter Ben Leo was threatened with violence during an anti-ICE protest in Newark, New Jersey, after calmly presenting data on migrant crime patterns. A black protester aggressively confronted Leo, accusing him of colonialism and threatening violence, while another demanded he “go back to [his] country.”
📺 DETAIL: The confrontation occurred outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, where far-left protests have been escalating into violent clashes, including assaults on officers and attempts to blockade facility entrances. Leo cited British crime data related to migrants committing crimes disproportionately, prompting an infuriated response from a protester who accused Britain of historic colonial abuses and screamed about breaking Leo’s “f**king jaw.” Video of the incident, which has circulated widely online, shows Leo remaining calm as the agitator repeatedly insults him and shouts over his attempts to respond. Speaking afterward, Leo criticized an apparent lack of concern from police officers present after the threat was made.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This doesn’t make your argument look good. That’s the left. That is the degenerate, violent left. You give facts. You give data. And they get violent.” – Ben Leo
📺 FLASHBACK: Disorderly protests at Delaney Hall have been ongoing for over a week, marked by alleged detainee hunger strikes and allegations of poor conditions, which federal officials have dismissed as political stunts and lies. Similar incidents of violence and threats have been reported at other pro-illegal immigrant protests across the U.S.

Court Approves Enforcement of State Law Allowing Texas to Arrest and Deport Illegals.

A federal appeals court has permitted Texas to enforce parts of a state law allowing officials to arrest and deport individuals suspected of illegal border crossings, sparking renewed legal and political debates.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to lift an injunction and allow Texas to enforce parts of a state law that permits the arrest and deportation of migrants suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally by state officials. The injunction was issued earlier this month by U.S. District Judge David Ezra, who argued that the law undermined federal authority over immigration.
📺 DETAIL: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) appealed Ezra’s decision, securing the appellate court’s 2-1 ruling. Pro-illegal immigrant groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Texas Civil Rights Project, condemned the decision and vowed to continue challenging the law. The groups seek to block state-level penalties for reentering the country after deportation and powers for Texas magistrates to issue deportation orders. The latest legal challenge follows an earlier appeals court ruling that cleared the way for SB4 to take effect after the Trump administration withdrew a federal lawsuit originally filed during the former Biden regime.
🎯 IMPACT: The ruling is expected to intensify debates over state versus federal authority on immigration enforcement. Supporters of the law argue it helps address illegal immigration, while opponents—largely Democrats hoping a future Democrat-led federal government will take a lax approach to enforcing federal immigration law—claim it undermines federal jurisdiction.
📺 FLASHBACK: The former Biden regime had previously challenged SB 4, but the Trump administration dropped the case. Legal disputes over the law have continued, with pro-illegal immigrant groups pressing lawsuits on behalf of illegals affected by its provisions.

RFK Jr. Announces Historic Autism Fraud Bust.

Authorities have exposed a vast fraud scheme in Minnesota that exploited taxpayer dollars intended for autism care, furthering the Trump administration’s crackdown on waste, fraud, and abuse.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary for Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that the largest autism bust in United States history has taken place in Minnesota.
📺 DETAIL: The cost of the Early Intervention Development Program has skyrocketed from $38.1 million in 2020 to $442 million in 2026. According to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the rise in cost can partially be attributed to fraud. “Investigators uncovered brazen schemes that billed taxpayers for non-existent services, fraudulent diagnoses, and fake care while criminals enriched themselves at public expense,” said Secretary Kennedy. The Early Intervention Program is a publicly funded system of support services for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Today’s arrests represent the largest autism fraud bust in American history… This was an organized theft that exploited the most vulnerable, deceived families, stole taxpayer dollars meant to help children with autism access legitimate care and support.” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary for HHS.
🎯 IMPACT: The recent autism bust in Minnesota is part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse across the United States. Minnesota has been the focus of various welfare fraud busts and exposés, especially in connection with its Somali population. Just days ago, it was reported that two women from Minnesota’s Somali community had been arrested for allegedly siphoning $21 million from U.S. taxpayers with a Medicaid fraud scheme. As a result of stories like these, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that elected Democrats, such as Governor Tim Walz and Sonalia-born Representative Ilhan Omar, could be indicted over welfare fraud in the state, along with other state officials found complicit or negligent.

James Comey ‘86 47’ Case Prosecutor Resigns.

A key federal prosecutor has been replaced in the high-profile case against former FBI Director James Comey.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Petracca, who had been handling the Justice Department’s criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, has stepped down, according to a court filing. Petracca will be replaced by Timothy Severo as the case moves forward in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The change was not explained in court filings.
📺 DETAIL: Comey faces two federal charges tied to an Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read “86 47,” which prosecutors contend amounted to a threat against President Donald J. Trump. “86” means to remove or kill in hospitality and mob slang; Trump became the 47th U.S. President in 2025. The Justice Department argues that the phrase carried an implied call for violence. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel have defended the prosecution, saying the case reflects a commitment to enforcing laws against threats to public officials.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The case is being prosecuted in North Carolina, where the controversial Instagram post was photographed, with the trial expected to begin in October following a delay granted by U.S. District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Threatening the life of the President of the United States is a grave violation of our nation’s laws,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in April.

Trump Admin Abandons Anti-Weaponization Fund.

The Department of Justice has paused the Trump administration’s “Anti-Weaponization” fund following a federal court ruling, creating uncertainty over its future.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Monday that it will temporarily halt implementation of the Trump administration’s Anti-Weaponization fund, intended to compensate victims of government lawfare under the Biden regime, in compliance with a federal court order from Virginia.
📺 DETAIL: The DOJ said it strongly disagrees with the court’s ruling but will abide by the decision, emphasizing that the fund was intended to assist individuals who were unfairly targeted or persecuted regardless of political affiliation. The pause comes amid criticism from some lawmakers over whether the nearly $2 billion fund could benefit individuals convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protests. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) indicated that a clear shutdown of the fund would likely resolve Republican concerns, while Democrats remain skeptical and are pressing ahead with legislation aimed at permanently eliminating the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called the fund a “slush fund” and vowed to push measures legally banning any future administration from reviving it.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “If Trump and Republicans are truly abandoning this corrupt scheme, they should have zero problem banning it in law.” – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
🎯 IMPACT: The pause on the fund potentially clears the way for Republicans to advance a $72 billion immigration enforcement package. However, this has sparked legislative battles, with Democrats aiming to redirect the fund’s $1.8 billion toward programs like food stamps and Medicaid.

Bodycam Footage Shows Police Dragging Henry Nowak Across the Ground, Ignoring Pleas for Help as He Died.

Hampshire Police have released bodycam footage showing their officers dragging Henry Nowak across a gravel driveway and refusing to listen to his pleas for an ambulance as they wrongfully arrested him based on a false allegation of racism made by his Sikh murderer.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Police have released bodycam footage showing their wrongful arrest of Henry Nowak, a white teenager who had been repeatedly stabbed by Sikh 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, moments before he died. The footage, demanded by Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage and others, shows officers immediately believing his murderer’s allegations of racism and putting him in handcuffs, while dismissing his pleas that he had been stabbed with the words “I don’t think you have, mate.”
📰 DETAIL: The video shows Nowak lying in a gravel driveway, repeatedly telling officers he had been stabbed and could not breathe and asking for an ambulance. Showing no care for his health despite his obvious medical distress, officers drag him by his legs, yank him upright, and finally tip him on his side and pull his arms behind his back to handcuff him, possibly hastening his death.
🎯 IMPACT: The release of the footage will intensify criticism of the police for their mistreatment of Nowak based on an unsubstantiated allegation of racism that was ultimately proven false in court. Nowak’s father, Mark, noted in a statement following Digwa’s sentencing on Monday that, unlike Nowak, the Sikh was never placed in handcuffs, even after he was arrested for murder and taken to the police station, and was actually taken to the kitchens in order to pick out a meal while he was there.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “You’ve been stabbed, wherabouts? I don’t think you have, mate.” – Police officer at the scene
💬 SECONDARY QUOTE: “This is the most shocking footage of discrimination that you will ever see. A white boy being handcuffed by police officers more concerned by an accusation of racism than an act of murder. This must be a turning point. White lives matter too.” – Nigel Farage

Talarico’s Church Funds Abortions and LGBT Kids Camps.

U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s church has openly stated that it supports abortion and pro-abortion organizations.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A church attended by Senate nominee James Talarico (D-TX) officially supports abortion and funds pro-abortion organizations, as well as a group that runs a summer camp for minors as young as 11 who identify as gay and transgender.
📺 DETAIL: St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, which is attended by James Talarico, a self-described Christian and a Democrat nominee for election to the U.S. Senate in November, described Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States, as an organization that shares the church’s “visions and goals for the world.” In addition to sending church funds to Planned Parenthood, the church gives money to several other pro-abortion groups, such as the Lilith Fund, which helps Texans abort babies out of state, and Jane’s Due Process, which provides abortions and out-of-state abortion support. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian describes itself as a “Reproductive Freedom Congregation” and believes that “abortion is a blessing.” The church also stocks sexually explicit books aimed at children and funds various progressive organizations, such as the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights and Out Youth Austin, which offers a summer camp for children aged 11 to 17 who identify as gay and transgender. It describes this camp as “a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth to come together, receive support, and make friends who understand who they are.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I say all this in the context of abortion, because before God comes over Mary, and we have the incarnation, God asks for Mary’s consent… You cannot force someone to create… so that’s how I come down on that side of the issue.” – James Talarico, Democrat Representative and Senate nominee, during an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience
🎯 IMPACT: This revelation could alienate Christian voters thinking about or actively supporting Talarico’s bid for office, on the basis of his purported Christianity. Most Christians believe that support for abortion contradicts traditional Christian teachings regarding the sanctity of life. According to recent polls, Talarico is tied with state Attorney General and Republican nominee Ken Paxton in the race to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Paxton was nominated after toppling long-time Republican Senator John Cornyn. In April 2026, Talarico announced a record-breaking $27 million funding haul. Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate seat in Texas since the late 1980s.
