Kayleigh McEnany Makes Chilling Demand For ‘60 Minutes' Reporter Over Anti-Trump Speech
Fox News' Greg Gutfeld and Kayleigh McEnany fumed over veteran CBS News reporter Scott Pelley's recent commencement address at Wake Forest University, in which he slammed President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday's episode of 'The Five,' Gutfeld accused '60 Minutes' correspondent Pelley of 'unloading his B.S. on 47.'
Gutfeld then turned to footage of Pelley warning students in the now-viral speech that, in Trump's America, the rule of law, journalism and freedom of speech are all under attack.
Afterward, Gutfeld pointed out: 'He wasn't arrested after that, you know. He wasn't arrested, Kayleigh.'
McEnany, a Trump first-term White House press secretary, replied: 'Yeah, well, look, he should have been.'
She suggested Pelley's claim that journalism is under attack was 'an overt lie' before pivoting to criticize Pelley's show, which has come under increasing scrutiny and attack from Trump and his administration, primarily over its editing of an interview with the president's 2024 Democratic rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, before last Novemver's election.
'How dare he lecture these graduates,' McEnany later added. 'They wanted a sunny speech about going off into their careers, and instead they got a load of garbage.'

People in California Warned Over Parasite-Riddled Fish
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Southern Californians have been warned that more than 90 percent of popular game fish have been found to contain invasive, parasitic worms that can infect humans. Two species of the parasitic flatworms known as "trematodes" were found infecting five species of freshwater fish from San Diego County in a study by researchers from University of California, San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Infection with the worms typically causes gastrointestinal problems, lethargy and weight loss in humans—but severe cases have even been known to cause heart attack and strokes. "Americans don't usually think about parasites when they eat freshwater fish because it hasn't historically been an issue here," said paper author and ecologist Ryan Hechinger in a statement. However, he added: "These parasites are here in the U.S., and they're infecting fish that people are eating. "We hope this study can help make public health officials, doctors and the public more aware." This bluegill analyzed by the team (main) was found to contain 16,973 'Haplorchis pumilio' parasitic worms (inset) This bluegill analyzed by the team (main) was found to contain 16,973 'Haplorchis pumilio' parasitic worms (inset) Emma Palmer / Hudson Pinto In their study, the researchers sampled 84 fish—representing seven species, including largemouth bass and bluegill—from five popular fishing spots around San Diego County. The team identified two species of invasive trematode in the fish: Haplorchis pumilio and Centrocestus formosanus. H. pumilio was found in 93 percent of all fish sampled—with some individual fish harboring thousands of the parasitic worms. C. formosanus, meanwhile, occurred in 91 percent of the fish from two of the locations. Both worms are believed to have arrived in the U.S. from Southeast Asia more than a decade ago, traveling inside the bodies of one of their hosts—an invasive aquatic species known as the Malaysian trumpet snail (Melanoides tuberculata.) Today, M. tuberculata can be found in 17 states, as well as Puerto Rico—and both it and its parasites are widespread in California. The worms have a life cycle that involves living inside three hosts: first, the trumpet snail; then, a fish; and finally a warm-blooded vertebrate like birds or humans that are unlucky enough to eat the infected fish. Hechinger said there is "no need to panic," as the risk from the parasites can be neutralized by either cooking the fish or, if planning to consume them raw, freezing for at least one week beforehand. A survey of social-media videos conducted by the team alongside their field work, however, revealed that some Americans are consuming freshwater fish raw without these precautions—putting them at risk of infections. "Nearly 5 million views shows there is widespread interest and possibly a widespread practice of folks eating freshwater fish raw," said paper author and marine scientist Emma Palmer of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in a statement. Palmer conducted the research into the parasites while undertaking her graduate studies at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

"There haven't been any reported cases of these parasites infecting Americans, but nobody is looking for cases, and doctors aren't required to report them," said Hechinger. He added: "This kind of research is so important to identifying new public health threats." Based on their findings, to better track the parasites, the researchers have recommended that these fish-borne worm infections be added to the list of diseases that doctors are required to report to public-health officials.

Scoop: DNC rents taco truck to mock Trump on 'TACO' slogan
The Democratic National Committee is commandeering a taco truck to mock Trump's apparent fury at the slogan " Trump Always Chickens Out," or "TACO," Axios has learned. Why it matters: Democrats clearly think they have found a way to get under the president's skin. Trump was asked about the mantra — used by Wall Street traders to predict his response to tariff-induced market dips — at a press conference Wednesday, and he lashed out in response. "Don't ever say what you said. That's a nasty question," the president replied. Driving the news: The DNC will park a taco truck outside the Republican National Committee's headquarters on Capitol Hill with a graphic of Trump in a chicken suit and the "Trump Always Chickens Out" slogan. The truck will be there between noon and 2pm on Tuesday and will actually serve free tacos, a DNC spokesperson told Axios. What they're saying: "With his idiotic trade policy, he talks a big game, caves, and then leaves working families and small businesses to deal with the fallout," DNC chair Ken Martin said in a statement. "Trump always chickens out — we're just bringing the tacos to match." The other side: "LMFAO. A taco truck? Are they going to be giving out free vasectomies again too?" RNC spokesperson Zach Parkinson said in a statement, citing a past DNC pro-abortion initiative.

Tim Walz Said We Need To "Bully The Sh—t Out" Of Donald Trump And It's REALLY Making MAGA Mad
We've long discussed left-leaners repeatedly expressing fatigue with the Democratic Party over what they perceive to be a lack of effort displayed by its leaders. Well, it looks like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is starting to agree. During a May speech at the South Carolina Democratic Party's annual convention, Walz referred to President Donald Trump as a "wannabe dictator" before suggesting, "Maybe it's time for us to be a little meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be a little more fierce." Twitter: @mmpadellan Speaking from his experience as a former teacher, Walz continued, "The thing that bothers a teacher more than anything is to watch a bully... And when it's a child, you talk to them and you tell them why bullying is wrong." Related: A Republican's Response To A "Tax The Rich" Chant At His Town Hall Is Going Viral "But when it's an adult like Donald Trump," he said, "you bully the shit out of him back." "Because at heart, this is a weak, cruel man that takes it out and punches down at people. What they don't want to do is stand toe to toe and punch back with someone who's calling them out for what they do." Related: "I Am So Torn With What You Are Doing" — 11 Posts From MAGA Business Owners Who Are So Close To Getting It And this isn't the first time Walz has expressed a need for Dems to "fight back." Just two months ago, the former vice presidential hopeful shared a video of Americans expressing grievances under the Trump Administration with the title "Tim Walz: It's time to fight back." "I think elected officials have been too damn timid to not stand up for these things. Bullshit," he says in the video. "It's good stuff that makes a difference." Well! One peek at the comment section under Walz's South Carolina speech will show you how deeply MAGA is rallying against his words. But what are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.
