Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings laughed in the face of a fellow MAGA commentator and hurled insults at her during a debate.Former Trump White House aide Caroline Sunshine interrupted a debate hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip on Thursday by admitting that she didn't know that conflicts between Iran and the U.S. have been going on for nearly five decades, as Jennings asserted.The debate started over whether Congress should put more guardrails in place to check Trump's war powers in Iran. Jennings mocked the idea that guardrails should be in place so the U.S. can be "all rainbows and unicorns with the Iranians," considering that "they've been at war with us for 47 years."That's when Sunshine chimed in by demanding why she didn't know about the 47 years of conflict, explaining, "The first time I've heard about the 47-year Iran war was like this year.""I'm sorry you don't read much," Jennings responded before laughing in her face and shaking his head."We don't teach about the 47-year war with Iran in school," Sunshine continued. "Like, it's insulting to actual conflicts that we've been involved in."Jennings kept scoffing at Sunshine as she spoke, adding, "It's an insult to your intelligence that you have no idea what the Iranians have done."Although Sunshine and Jennings kept speaking over each other, Sunshine asked, "Why have our soldiers been over there?" and pressed Jennings to make it clear what the U.S. goals in Iran should be and what it should be prepared to lose."If we're going to keep going with this, what number of American troops are we willing to commit to keep going, and like, what's your number?" Sunshine asked. "Like, how many U.S. troops are you willing to expend to achieve your objectives and what amount of money?""What amount of money am I willing to expend to keep the American people safe from the worst regime in the world?" Jennings responded. "A fair amount."

British political commentator Piers Morgan lamented having written that Trump is a "changed man" after seeing him wage war in Iran.During an episode of The Bulwark Podcast, Morgan spoke about the New York Post column he wrote after Trump was re-elected. In the column, Morgan said that Trump is a "changed man" and could become "one of America's great presidents."Host Tim Miller, a former GOP operative, asked Morgan how those words are looking now that Trump is more than a year into his second administration."Not great," Morgan admitted. "He, unfortunately, has reverted to type."Morgan said, "More worryingly, I think, for his legacy," Trump has "begun to do things which he specifically campaigned on the opposite."The main broken campaign promise identified by Morgan was "not going into war in the Middle East." Trump also campaigned on "focusing on America first and getting inflation down," Morgan pointed out."Why would you launch a global trade war, and why would you go to war with Iran if actually those campaign aims were your priority?" Morgan wondered. "It's the opposite. It's going to have the opposite effect as we've seen."Morgan was hoping to see "Trump Mark 2, particularly after he survived several assassination attempts," and added, "It's unfortunate" that's not what he's seeing."I felt, talking to him, he was a bit of a changed character, but you know, there's also the reality check," Morgan said. "He's just turned 80. There aren't many people who turn 80 who suddenly become different people."Morgan added that if he were advising Trump, he'd say, "It's looking more likely than not he might lose control of the House and the Senate in the midterms," which are only a few months away. "He'll become a lame duck, which will be for him about as bad as life gets."

The Trump administration erroneously touted export numbers for an American staple while the real numbers spark concern, per a report. Reuters reported that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had to revise beef export sales and slash numbers by 90 percent compared to the incorrect number offered for a sales period ending in late June.The USDA touted in early July that the exporters sold more than 126,000 metric tons of U.S. beef to foreign buyers, but the real number turned out to be just over 12,000 metric tons. The error came as U.S. beef prices have reached record highs this year because of "tight cattle supplies" and demand, and beef exports have also continued to decline since 2022, Reuters reported. Although domestic demand for hamburgers and steaks is strong, the increased price and reduced production of beef are feeding the declining exports, Reuters noted."We're priced out of the world market to a certain extent," Austin Schroeder, a commodity analyst at Brugler Marketing & Management, told Reuters. "It wouldn't make a lot of sense for that big of an export number."The USDA also erroneously reported record sales of more than 38,000 metric tons of beef to Chile and more than 32,000 metric tons to Italy, according to Reuters, which noted neither of those countries is a major market for U.S. beef. The corrected figures revealed the U.S. actually sold 367 tons to Chile and 350 tons to Italy, and revised sales downward to 14 other countries as well, according to Reuters.The U.S. also has low domestic supplies of beef and has had to increase the amount of beef it imports, Reuters added. The beef industry was threatened by the outbreak of screwworm earlier this year, which led to the declaration of a state of disaster in Texas.

Knives were out for Vice President JD Vance — and coming from an unlikely ally, The Daily Beast reported Thursday.Fox News host Brian Kilmeade fired off a tough demand and called for the Vice President to be pulled from the Iran negotiations.“The one thing we need is a different negotiating team. If we go to negotiations and that’s a big if, this team can’t do it,” Kilmeade said.Vance has stumbled through two rounds of high-stakes talks — first in Pakistan, then Switzerland — and has appeared shaky on the details of the deal he helped broker. Instead, the Fox anchor argued that Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff should turn their attention to Ukraine as pressure grows for the U.S. to reach an agreement amid escalating fighting this week. As the fragile truce has unraveled quickly, Tehran has struck back at American allies from Qatar to Jordan, and both sides are trading blame over who broke the ceasefire first.Kilmeade referred to current negotiators as "a waste of time," and claimed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been "calling the shots." "We should demand different people," Kilmeade said. "The foreign minister is a waste of time, and the speaker is a waste of time. The IRGC is calling the shots. So, why are we pretending to talk to the other guys? Talk to the people who make the decisions. Knowing ahead of time that they’re not to be trusted."

Florida travelers did not mince words after Palm Beach International Airport was rebranded as the Donald J. Trump International Airport on Thursday.MS NOW interviewed several people at the Florida airport to get their reactions. "I think it's patently absurd that we're spending taxpayer money to rename an airport after a criminal that's sitting in the White House," one traveler said. "I think it's disgusting, ridiculous, pompous and a lot of other bad things," another person said. "I do not like it at all." "I resent that the name is on every institution that we have, this included," another traveler told MS NOW. "I resent that we have to have every institution in this country being named after Donald Trump."Palm Beach is home to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.Trump is the first president seeking to trademark an airport. The Trump Organization has filed for trademark rights to the airport. No other sitting president has named an airport or roadway after himself during his current term — most are named after former presidents once they have served their term, and in some cases, after they have died, MS NOW reported.
