'This is why he puts himself on his wife's podcast – which real men don't do,' Watters said on the Fox News program. 'He ships all these jobs to China and then wonders why men are looking around like 'what are we supposed to do now.' So they're angry, they voted Trump, and then the next thing you know they say we're waging war on women, and men are toxic and the patriarchy's holding everybody down. So the men just leave the party.'
He continued later: 'He's a boring guy, and the same thing that's happening with the rest of the Democratic party. Without all the lights, camera, action and the teleprompters, you sit a guy down with his 'wife' and it's just a boring, nerdy conversation that no one can relate to.'

Watters threw 'wife' in quotes when referring to Michelle Obama likely because the former president and first lady have been deep in the divorce rumor mill for weeks now. It is something the couple touched on right as the latest 'IMO' episode began.
'She took me back,' Barack Obama joked as he entered the studio and co-host Craig Robinson asked if they still liked each other. 'It was touch and go for a while.'

Michelle Obama added that a lot of people seem to think their relationship is only good if they're seen together and when they are doing their own thing 'folks think we're divorced.'
'There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting on my man,' she said. 'And we've had some really hard times. We've had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures. I've become a better person because of the man I'm married to.'
Barack and Michelle Obama have been married since 1992.

Fans Think Blake Lively Was ‘Deliberately' Cut from Selena Gomez Party

birthday party is no small affair, and it seems that this year's festivities have also kick-started a rumor that claims was deliberately cut out from the party. This was allegedly after things between her and deteriorated during the It Ends With Us legal battle. Now, fans wonder if Swift and Lively's feud is indeed the reason behind the latter being absent from the party. So, was Lively indeed not a part of Gomez's recent celebrations due to her fallout with the pop icon? Here's everything to know. Did Selena Gomez cut off Blake Lively 'deliberately' from her party? The 'Calm Down' singer had a huge party for her 33rd birthday, but the actress was not a part of the celebrations. According to Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop, this move was not an oversight. Rather, it was deliberate, and the root cause behind this was Blake Lively's fallout with Taylor Swift. The problems between the two go back to the Another Simple Favor star's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, filed a $400 million countersuit against the It Ends With Us director. At that time, the 'Blank Space' singer was allegedly one of Lively's celebrity friends whom she tried to use as leverage in the lawsuit. So, without Swift's involvement in Baldoni's case in any way, she still got embroiled in the legal battle unwillingly. Recent reports also claimed that Taylor Swift has been ignoring The Age of Adaline actress' attempts for reconciliation. (via Marie Claire) Hence, it all aligns with the timing of Selena Gomez's party. This has made fans think that Blake Lively and Swift's fallout may indeed be at the center of the former being cut off from the latter's inner circle. However, these are still speculations, as none of the parties involved has commented on this. Even if they were to address the same, it is unlikely that this reason would be stated in public.

Southwest Airlines flight takes dramatic plunge in response to nearby aircraft

A Southwest Airlines jet heading to Las Vegas from Southern California took a dramatic plunge shortly after take off in response to an alert about a nearby plane, sending some passengers flying out of their seats and injuring two flight attendants. The plane suddenly jolted shortly after takeover on Friday then felt like it was falling, said Stef Zamorano, who was flying to Las Vegas with her husband to celebrate his birthday. In front of her, Ms Zamorano said she saw a woman who was 'not wearing her seatbelt shoot up and out of her seat'. The man seated next to her was clutching her arm, and she said the woman across the aisle was panicking. 'She was pretty much verbalising how we all felt, saying, 'I want to get off this plane. I want to be on the ground,'' Ms Zamorano told The Associated Press. Data from the flight tracking site FlightAware shows it dropped roughly 300 feet (91.44 metres) in 36 seconds. The Federal Aviation Administration said the flight, Southwest 1496, was responding to an onboard alert about another aircraft in its vicinity. The FAA is investigating. Southwest said the crew responded to two alerts that required the pilot to climb then descend. The flight departed from Hollywood Burbank Airport just before noon. Still in shock, Ms Zamorano said she could hardly make out what the pilot was saying when he later addressed the passengers. Another passenger, American comedian Jimmy Dore, posted on X that the pilot mentioned a near miss. 'Pilot said his collision warning went off & he needed to avoid plane coming at us,' Dore posted. The plane was in the same airspace near Burbank as a Hawker Hunter Mk 58 just after noon local time, FlightAware shows. A Hawker Hunter is a British fighter plane. Records show it is owned by Hawker Hunter Aviation, a British defence contracting company. The company did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Mike Christensen, an airport spokesman for Hollywood Burbank, said that neither the control tower nor the operations department, which tracks planes departing and arriving, have any record of the Southwest flight plunging in their airspace. Southwest said the flight continued to Las Vegas, 'where it landed uneventfully'. The airline said that it is working with the FAA 'to further understand the circumstances' of the event. The close call is the latest incident to raise questions about aviation safety in the wake of January's mid-air collision over Washington DC, that killed 67 people.

Pope Leo reflects on migrants and refugees as ‘messengers of hope'

Pope Leo XIV urged the public to see migrants and refugees as 'messengers of hope' on Friday, as the Trump administration focuses on mass deportation efforts in the pontiff's former home country. In a letter, Leo wrote that the 'widespread tendency to look after the interests of limited communities' poses a serious threat to the 'pursuit of the common good and global solidarity for the benefit of our entire human family.'
