Tucker Carlson Spits Out 2-Word Response To Trump's Claim That He Called The President To Apologize
Tucker Carlson is disputing Donald Trump's claim that he apologized for accusing the president of being 'complicit' in Israel's military attacks on Iran last month. Just days after the former Fox News host made the comments in a June 13 newsletter posted on his website, the POTUS alleged to reporters in the Oval Office that the conservative pundit reached out to him to bury the hatchet. 'He called and apologized the other day because he thought he had said things that were a little bit too strong, and I appreciate that,' Trump said on June 18. Trump also referred to Carlson as 'kooky' in a pointed June 16 post on his social platform Truth Social. 'Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, 'IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!'' he wrote. In a new interview with German newspaper Bild, Carlson denied that the call ever took place. After the outlet's editor-in-chief, Paul Ronzheimer, asked Carlson if Trump's claims about the phone call were true, he replied, 'Okay... no.' 'No? It's not true?' Ronzheimer questioned again. 'No, I will say this … I don't care. I really like Trump. I campaigned for Trump. I just, to say it again, I agree with Trump, I have agreed with Trump on the issues,' Carlson said in the interview released Sunday. The political commentator went on to say that despite Trump's statement about the call not being factual, he would be 'happy to apologize' to the president. 'I'd be happy … I am the first to apologize because I am most mindful of my limits, and my own absurdities and the nonsense that I have spouted over the years,' Carlson said. 'Like, I don't think I'm God, and so I'm happy to apologize. And you can ask anyone who knows me, I'm an apologizer.' Ronzheimer then doubled down, asking Carlson, 'So you're apologizing now, publicly? Do I understand right?' Carlson responded: 'I don't know what I'd apologize for. I didn't attack Trump then. I disagreed with him … I don't think anything [was said] that would warrant an apology.' White House officials didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. The day after Carlson's newsletter published, Trump denied the U.S. had any involvement in Israel's attack on Iran in a June 13 post on Truth Social. 'The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,' Trump wrote. 'If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.' On June 21, U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a 'very successful attack,' Trump said in a televised Oval Office address. He added that Tehran's nuclear program had been wiped out.

White House restricts WSJ access to Trump over Epstein story
The White House on Monday barred The Wall Street Journal from traveling with US President Donald Trump during his upcoming visit to Scotland, after the newspaper reported that he wrote a bawdy birthday message to his former friend, alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes after Trump on Friday sued the WSJ and its media magnate owner Rupert Murdoch for at least $10 billion over the allegation in the article, which Trump denies. The Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case has threatened to split the Republican's far-right Make America Great Again (MAGA) base, with some of his supporters calling for a full release of the so-called "Epstein Files." The punishment of the Wall Street Journal marks at least the second time the Trump administration has moved to exclude a major news outlet from the press pool over its reporting, having barred Associated Press journalists from multiple key events since February. "As the appeals court confirmed, The Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces," said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. "Due to The Wall Street Journal's fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board (Air Force One)." Trump departs this weekend for Scotland, where he owns two golf resorts and will meet with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Earlier this month, the US Department of Justice, under Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi, said there was no evidence suggesting disgraced financier Epstein had kept a "client list" or was blackmailing powerful figures before his death in 2019. In its story on Thursday, the WSJ reported that Trump had written a suggestive birthday letter to Epstein in 2003, illustrated with a naked woman and alluding to a shared "secret." Epstein, a longtime friend of Trump and multiple other high-profile men, was found hanging dead in a New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges that he sexually exploited dozens of underage girls at his homes in New York and Florida. The case sparked conspiracy theories, especially among Trump's far-right voters, about an alleged international cabal of wealthy pedophiles. Epstein's death -- declared a suicide -- before he could face trial supercharged that narrative. Since returning to power in January, Trump has moved to increase control over the press covering the White House. In February, the Oval Office stripped the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) of its nearly century-old authority to oversee which outlets have access to certain restricted presidential events, with Trump saying that he was now "calling the shots" on media access. In a statement, the WHCA president urged the White House to "restore" the Journal to the pool. "This attempt by the White House to punish a media outlet whose coverage it does not like is deeply troubling, and it defies the First Amendment," said WHCA President Weijia Jiang. "Government retaliation against news outlets based on the content of their reporting should concern all who value free speech and an independent media." aha/ksb

In Gaza, a war with no endgame leads to a humanitarian collapse
The Gaza war has piled tragedy upon tragedy. The deaths over the weekend of Palestinian civilians waiting in line for food were a cruel reminder of why the war must end now. On Saturday, Israeli soldiers fired at a crush of Palestinians seeking food from Israeli-supported contractors, killing an estimated 32 people. On Sunday, 93 Palestinians were reported killed when Israeli soldiers opened fire on a melee of civilians desperate for supplies from a U.N. food convoy.
